Robert Jephson was born in Ireland in 1736, the son of Archdeacon John Jephson. His education was at Ryder's grammar school and then the Reverend Roger Ford's school before he was admitted to Trinity College, Dublin in 1751. He left without a degree.Jephson now joined the British Army with a commission in the 73rd Regiment of Foot. Among his postings was one to the Caribbean. He left, for health reasons and retired with the rank of Captain.An appointment was offered as master of the horse to the lord-lieutenant of Ireland. Whilst in this office he wrote and had published, in the Mercury newspaper, a collection of articles that defended the lord-lieutenant's administration. These were later published in book form as 'The Bachelor', or 'Speculations of Jeoffry Wagstaffe'. Jepson held the office under twelve successive viceroys and gained a pension of GBP300, which was later doubled.He entered the Irish House of Commons in 1773 and sat for St Johnstown (County Longford) until 1776. Between 1777 and 1783, he served as Member of Parliament for Old Leighlin and thereafter represented Granard from 1783 to 1790In 1775 he added playwright, dramatist and poet to his military and political career strands. His plays gathered much interest. Among them his tragedy 'Braganza' was successfully performed at Drury Lane in 1775, 'Conspiracy' in 1796, 'The Law of Lombardy' in 1779, and 'The Count of Narbonne' (adapted from Horace Walpole's 'The Castle of Otranto') at Covent Garden in 1781. In 1788 he published 'Extempore Ludicrous Miltonic Verses' and, in 1794, the heroic poem 'Roman Portraits', and 'The Confessions of Jacques Baptiste Couteau', a satire on the excesses of the French Revolution. Robert Jephson died at Blackrock, near Dublin, on the 31st of May 1803.

James Elroy Flecker was born on November 5th 1884 in London. He was educated at Dean Close School, Cheltenham, where his father was headmaster, and Uppingham School then on to Trinity College, Oxford, and Caius College, Cambridge. At Oxford he was much influenced by the vestiges of the Aesthetic movement there. In 1910 he was in the consular service, in the Eastern Mediterranean. On a ship to Athens he met Helle Skiadaressi and married her in 1911. Perhaps his best known work is "e;To A Poet A Thousand Years Hence"e;. Here we publish his five act play Hassan The Story Of Hassan Of Bagdad And How He Came To Make The Golden Journey To Samarkand. Tragically James was to die at age 30 on January 3rd 1915, in Davos, Switzerland of tuberculosis. An immense loss to English Poetry - he had already been measured against the work of Keats.

意大利语属罗曼语族，源自古罗马时代作为日常用语的拉丁语，其发展历时三千余年，见证了意大利壮美的文明史。中意两国人民都是千年光荣文化传统的传承者。从连长安与罗马的古丝绸之路始，中意两国间的交流已跨越了数千年的漫长岁月，友谊历久弥坚。近50年来，两国之间的关系更是日趋紧密，达到了前所未有的高度。 在这样的历史和文化背景下，汉语教学始在意大利各地普及，意大利人亦越来越早地始学习汉语。上世纪90年代，意大利仅有4所高等学府设汉语课程。近年来，情况发生了根本的变化:意大利公共*决定把汉语引意大利境内的高中课程，使学生在传统的欧洲语言之外，还能掌握另外一门重要的语言，为他们顺利就业市场做好准备。另一方面，意大利语的普及程度也不断提高。根据官方统计数据，意大利语已经成为继英语、西班牙语和汉语之后学习者人数*多的第四大语言。出于对意大利艺术、文化乃至烹饪的酷爱，20152016年间全球意大利语学习者的数量足足增加了40万。与此同时，在意大利留学的中国学生人数也持续增多。若将艺术和美术等专科学校计算在内，现共有2万余名中国学生在意大利各所大学就读。 2006年7月，上海外语教育出版社出版了由我编纂的《外教社简明意汉-汉意词典》。由于顺应两种语言的学习热潮，词典首版后曾十余次加印。不宁唯是，2007年该词典由外教社授权意大利 Hoepli出版社出版，罗马大学副校长、著名汉学家费代利科·马西尼Federico Masini）教授为之撰写了序言。词典一经面世同样大获成功。 本词典是《外教社简明意汉-汉意词典的增订版。为反映近十年来语言的发展和变化，增订版实现了内容的更新:除了对所有条目作出全面修订之外，另增添6，000余个词条和义项。本词典的编写原则和宗旨是为了更好地满足双语词典查阅者的实际需要，收录的常用词汇既考虑到实用性，也顾及到系统性。为帮助外国读者学习汉语，所有释义均提供汉语拼音注音。此外，在正文后附有意大利语动词变位表，可供广大读者查阅。 就质量和实用性而言，我希望自己倾心尽力编纂的这本词典是一部查阅方便的高效工具书。

James Elroy Flecker was born on 5th November 1884, in Lewisham, London.Flecker does not seem to have enjoyed academic study and achieved only a Third-Class Honours in Greats in 1906. This did not set him up for a job in either government service or the academic world.After some frustrating forays at school teaching he attempted to join the Levant Consular Service and entered Cambridge to study for two years. After a poor first year he pushed forward in the second and achieved First-Class honours. His reward was a posting to Constantinople at the British consulate.However, Flecker's poetry career was making better progress and he was beginning to garner praise for his poems including The Bridge of Fire. Unfortunately, he was also showing the first symptoms of contracting tuberculosis. Bouts of ill health were to now alternate with periods of physical well-being woven with mental euphoria and creativity.Before his early death he managed to complete several volumes of poetry, which he continually revised, together with some prose works and plays. It was a small canon of work but on his death on 3rd January 1915, of tuberculosis, in Davos, Switzerland he was described as "e;unquestionably the greatest premature loss that English literature has suffered since the death of Keats"e;.

Since my early teens, I have been fond of the natural sciences and aspired to become a scientist when I grew up. However, this ideal has yet to be realized. Initially, my understanding of a scientist was that of an inventor like Edison; I was unaware of theoretical physicists such as Newton or Einstein until I matured and gradually gained some insight.
