  21. Honi Soit is the student newspaper of the University of Sydney, first published in 1929 and produced by an elected editorial team as part of the activities of the Students' Representative Council (SRC).[1] The name is short for the phrase "Honi soit qui mal y pense" (French: "shame upon him who thinks evil of it"), the motto of the British Order of the Garter. The spelling of the word "Honi" is old French; it would nowadays be spelt "Honni".[2] • Honi Soit is a tabloid-style publication incorporating a mixture of humorous and serious opinion articles. A typical issue contains a topical feature article and interview, letters to the editor, campus news, pop culture articles and news satire. Periodically, special editions are published, including Election Honi, devoted towards covering the annual Students' Representative Council (SRC) student elections, Women's Honi, and Queer Honi, dedicated to covering LGBT issues. • Issues are published weekly during university semesters. Honi Soit is the only student newspaper in Australia that remains a weekly publication. • Editors are elected as a "ticket" of up to 10 students, elected each year in conjunction with the annual SRC elections. Past editors have included Clive James, and members of The Chaser.

  22. "Honi soit qui mal y pense" sometimes rendered as "Honi soit quy mal y pense", "Hony soyt qe mal y pense", "Hony soyt ke mal y pense", "Hony soyt qui mal pence" and various other phoneticizations, is the motto of the EnglishchivalricOrder of the Garter. In the French Language it is rendered as "Honni soit qui mal y pense" (the modern conjugation of the verb honnir being honni)[1]. It is also written at the end of the manuscript Sir Gawain and the Green Knight but it appears to have been a later addition.[2] Its literal translation from Old French is "Shame be to him who thinks evil of it",[3] although it is sometimes re-interpreted as "Evil be to him who evil thinks".[4]

  23. This statement supposedly originated when King Edward III was dancing with the Countess of Salisbury. Her garter slipped down to her ankle, causing those around her to respond with sniggers at her humiliation. In an act of chivalry Edward placed the garter around his own leg, saying "Honi soit qui mal y pense", and the phrase later became the motto of the Order.

  24. It may be understood as 'A scoundrel, who thinks badly by it', or 'Shame on him, who suspects illicit motivation'. Today it is also used to express a slightly ironic sentiment about seemingly, but not explicitly related statements or events. Examples might be a story containing a double entendre, in which the teller 'warns' against the licentious interpretation. It can also be used to point out, by ironically denying, the actual relation of actions. If a politician were to argue the national benefit of a government program - which would happen to bring great investments to a particular county; the county where that politician happens to hail from: Then you'd be 'a scoundrel' to think anything but the 'national benefit' was the true motivation. • The phrase was quoted by Judge Goodwill Banner to Roy Hobbs near the finale of "The Natural."

  25. The motto of the Order appears on a representation of the garter, surrounding the shield, on the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom, the motto of the Royal arms, Dieu et mon droit, being displayed on a scroll beneath the shield. Several British Army regiments also use the motto of the Order of the Garter, including the Grenadier Guards, Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, Princess of Wales' Royal Regiment, Life Guards and the Blues and Royals. The Canadian Grenadier Guards, The Royal Regiment of Canada, and The Royal Montreal Regiment also use it as their mottos. • Further, the motto is also present on the emblem of the Grenadier Guards, The Times (London), Corps of Royal Engineers, the Royal Australian Engineers, and the Royal Australian Army Ordnance Corps and is denoted on a circular belt, surrounded by a wreath, with the crown jewels atop. • The motto was also used as on the official emblem of the South Australian Railways. • The motto was also used on the official emblem of the Royal Yacht Britannia. • The motto appears on the coat of arms of the British Columbia Supreme Court.

  26. The motto also appears on the entry gates to pop star Michael Jackson's Neverland estate, emblazoned on his personal crest beneath a royal lion and a gemstone-collared unicorn[5].

  27. “Honi soit qui mal y pense”（法语，心怀邪念者可耻）这句话绣在环绕着王室盾形徽章的一条绶带（garter）上。这条绶带就是嘉德勋章（Order of the Garter）的象征。嘉德勋章是在英法百年战争期间，由爱德华三世国王在1348年建立的。这句座右铭可能与批评英国国王窥视法国王座有关。但根据都铎编年史首次纪录的历史，这句座右铭的出现与1347年为征服加来而举行的一次盛大庆祝活动有关。当时国王的情妇索尔兹伯里伯爵夫人因为在跳舞时失落了吊袜带（garter）而受到朝臣的嘲笑，爱德华国王立刻上前拾起她的蓝色吊袜带并将其系在了自己的膝盖上，并以指责的口吻说出了这句话，并宣布蓝色丝带Garter将成为最高级别的勋章。

  28. Politically The Times is independent, though it is traditionally inclined to be more sympathetic to the Conservative Party. It is not an organ of the Government, though sometimes its leading articles, on the right-hand side of the center page, may be written after private consultation with people in, for example, the Foreign Office. It has a reputation for extreme caution in its attitudes, and this reputation is on the whole deserved. The letters to the Editor, which are printed next to the leading articles, are very influential, and may lead to wide discussion of the views which they express. The quality of the paper and printing is quite remarkably good.
