主角Miss Bankhead 很有名 可以一查

Bankhead
(băngk'hĕd') pronunciation, Tallulah Brockman 1903-1968.

American actress noted for her wit, glamour, and performances in plays, such as The Little Foxes (1939), and motion pictures, including Lifeboat (1943).



The Little Foxes is a 1939 play by Lillian Hellman. Its title comes from Chapter 2, Verse 15 in the Song of Solomon in the King James version of the Bible, which reads, "Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes."
請你們為我捕捉狐狸,捕捉毀壞葡萄園的小狐狸,我們的葡萄園正在開花啊!


If you’d like a status update on Britain’s tangled feelings about its neighbor France, you could do worse than study The Sunday Times of London’s current hardcover nonfiction best-seller list. At No. 9 is the book in front of us now: the British historian Graham Robb’s admiring “Parisians: An Adventure History of Paris.” More beloved by English readers, though, at No. 4, is a book by Stephen Clarke with this impish title: “1000 Years of Annoying the French.” Garçon, there’s some snark in my soup.

 目前,國際葡萄樹幹疾病委員會(成立於1999年)正在研究的問題不止兩個:側彎孢菌頂枯病(eutypa dieback, eutypiose)是一直以來的研究課題,座腔菌頂枯病(botryosphaeria dieback)最近提上了日程,另外還有一種疾病叫做枝條黑死病(black dead arm, BDA),也是研究重點。這些疾病近年來的蔓延趨勢愈加明顯,尤以去年為甚。法國葡萄與葡萄酒學院(Institut Français de la Vigne et du Vin)也在去年九月發表了研究性論文闡述了埃斯卡病與枝條黑死病的發生率正在逐年升高的問題。該論文表示,2012年氣候異於往年,在經歷了潮濕春季後,又迎來了高溫初夏,這樣的情況非常容易對葡萄植株產生脅迫作用,令其更容易染病。而事實也論證了這個觀點——有些葡萄園的植株損失量達到了50%
