词汇 doctor fell
词源
Doctor Fell; Fell types.
I do not love thee, Dr. Fell,
The reason why I cannot tell;
But this alone I know full well,
I do not love thee Dr. Fell. Dr. John Fell’s classes at Oxford must have been something to see. The English divine (1625–86) was quite a permissive teacher for his day, initiating many educational reforms and even allowing classroom debates, which often ended in fist- fights. Fell, a dean of Christ Church, Oxford, and bishop of Oxford, is also noted for the Fell (printing) types he collected for the university press and for the extensive building pro- gram he began at the university. Yet his name is used to de- scribe someone disliked for no apparent reason. He owes his unjust fate to Thomas Brown (1663–1704), once his student at Christ Church and later an author and translator. Dean Fell had threatened to expel Brown for some offense if he could not translate a Martial couplet. The resulting jingle above bore little resemblance to the 33d epigram, but Dr. Fell, to his credit, good-naturedly accepted the paraphrase. As for Tom Brown, he never wrote anything else that was remembered.
