語本易經˙繫辭上：「子曰：『君子之道，或出或處，或默或語。二人同心，其利斷金；同心之言，其臭如蘭。』」形容友情深厚，相交契合。南朝宋˙劉義慶˙世說新語˙賢媛：「山公與嵇、阮一面，契若金蘭。山妻韓氏覺公與二人異於常交，問公。公曰：『我當年可以為友者，唯此二生耳。』」 引申為結拜兄弟之詞。如：「義結金蘭」。 一種酒。宋˙范成大˙桂海虞衡志˙志酒：「使金至燕山，得其宮中酒，號金蘭者，乃大佳。燕西有金蘭山，汲其泉以釀。」

Courage & Co Ltd

英文勇氣為courage，更是重要。所以戴名博士在倫敦喝到牌子為Courage 的啤酒，不禁說笑話，參考《戴明修煉 II》。

其實該啤酒公司的創始人之姓為 Courage

Courage & Co Ltd was started by John Courage at the Anchor Brewhouse in Horsleydown, Bermondsey in 1787.

Is Bordeaux a good pairing for mooncake?

Overheard

Is Bordeaux a good pairing for mooncake? Collectors, particularly in Asia, have paid record-breaking sums for fine wines over the past couple of years. But market turmoil threatens to put a cork in soaring prices for all sorts of alternative investments.

The next clue on the future of wine prices could come with an Asian festival in early September, according to Gary Boom, founder of wine merchant and investment tracker Bordeaux Index. The celebration is marked by the consumption of round pastry mooncakes filled with lotus-seed paste and a salted duck egg, as well as the exchange of generous gifts, including, in recent years, expensive bottles of Bordeaux.

For the wine-investment industry, "the festival will, as usual, be the most illuminating indicator of [second-half 2011] activity," notes Mr. Boom. And if the prices don't pick up, investors can always wash down their duck eggs with a decent red.
