这还没完...
GEN. DAWES是什么意思呢？GEN. 为缩写，原来是Charles G. Dawes, 30th Vice President (1925-1929)这位美国前副总统，道斯将军。（见：http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki /Charles_G._Dawes）
这位将军、副总统阁下和烟斗有什么关系，是为了纪念他？还是他生产的？他设计的？还只是同名同姓而已？
终于在关于General Dawes的网页上找到这么一句话：（见http://www.senate.gov/artandhist ... P_Charles_Dawes.htm）
... Adding to his colorful personality, Dawes at this time adopted his trademark pipe. For years he had smoked as many as twenty cigars a day, but during the war a British officer had given him a pipe. Soon after his appointment to the Bureau of the Budget, a newspaper photograph showed him smoking his pipe on the Treasury Department steps. A Chicago pipe manufacturer sent him a new, strangely shaped pipe with most of its bowl below rather than above the stem. Dawes tried it, liked it, and ordered a gross more. From then on, he was rarely seen without this distinctive pipe, which together with his wing-tip collars and hair parted down the middle, reinforced his individualistic, iconoclastic, and idiosyncratic public image.
大意是说这位将军人生丰富多彩，还有自己的烟斗品牌（20世纪20年代），有次一位芝加哥制斗人给他看了一种新的烟斗，就是前面描述的那种分内外钵的。将军爱不释手，买了很多，天天叼着，融入他的公众形象。
原来如此，名副其实的将军斗啊！  |
