從堅守直線、中軸對稱,到打破古典規則、創發自然風貌之濫觴,一般論著多將之歸功於十八世紀初期的兩位聞人:當時在英國領銜群倫的品味大師勃靈頓公爵,和他的親信食客肯特。而這一對最佳拍檔當年相知相遇的地方,正是古典藝術的原鄉──義大利。
Most theories, though, trace the move from straight lines and monocentric symmetry to the break with classical regularity and the appearance of the natural style to two eighteenth-century personalities: the leading man of taste, Lord Burlington, and his protege, William Kent. The place where these two met was indeed a principal source of classical art-Italy.

其實,台北還有幾個年年請大客的人家,有的是本著老規矩的大家庭,一方面親戚團聚,一方面犒賞親信、得力員工,像創立聯合報的王惕老家。雖然惕老走了,家族還承續著傳統。有的是像李錫奇那樣好朋友、具號召力,像從前的「時報周刊」發行人簡志信、「展望」雜誌老新聞人卜幼夫,請的多是事業上也常合作的老朋友,聚會也有著聯誼的味道;但僅由女主人出面,以「年菜」、「耆宿」為號召的家宴,恐怕就僅故歷史小說名家高陽的夫人郝天俠一人了。
In fact, Taipei has a few homes which host annual New Year's dinners. Some are extended families that follow the old rules. They not only have all the relatives gathered together, but they also include dedicated employees who have become friends over the years. The family of Wang Hsi, founder of the United Daily News, is one example. Though the elder Wang has passed away, his clan still carries on the tradition.

新政團成立箭在弦上,以黃主文、黃輝珍等人為首的李登輝親信人物也馬不停蹄在全國尋求結盟勢力。
With the new political alliance now imminent, Lee loyalists like Huang Chu-wen and Huang Hui-chen have been working fast to rally the support of potential alliance members all around the island.
