讀 {蜂蜜與塵土}(Honey and Dust) 提到某敘利亞人有「高康大式鬍鬚」，翻譯者解釋一堆「高康大」何許人也，卻沒說這是什麼鬍子。
高康大應是十五、六世紀拉伯雷（F. Rabelais）《巨人傳》（Gargantua et Pantagruel）的主角Gargantua，我多年前還提過：
鍾漢清《戴明領導手冊》譯序兼中文版導言：
這本書告訴你如何學習、鍛鍊出新領導者本事，它也是戴明哲學應用於現場領導改善、培訓大全。本書為作者休提士（Peter R. Scholtes）先生數十餘年經歷及用心的結晶。這本闡揚戴明領導哲學的名作《戴明領導手冊》（The Leader Handbook），應在人間多點知音。這是譯者心意。我要轉引十五、六世紀拉伯雷（F. Rabelais）《巨人傳》（Gargantua et Pantagruel）書後的吉特先生話：「他為我們寫下了這本書。它給讀者以生命，它也使作者精神永垂不朽。」我以為作者會以本書傳世。英國大文評家 John Ruskin說得好：「愛心得匠意，則傑作在望（When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece）。」

"Readers, friends, if you turn these pages
Put your prejudice aside,
For, really, there's nothing here that's outrageous,
Nothing sick, or bad — or contagious.
Not that I sit here glowing with pride
For my book: all you'll find is laughter:
That's all the glory my heart is after,
Seeing how sorrow eats you, defeats you.
I'd rather write about laughing than crying,
For laughter makes men human, and courageous.
BE HAPPY!"
--from "Gargantua and Pantagruel" (1532 - 1564) by François Rabelais
