摘要： 颇具争议的大陆慈善家陈光标声称他被骗了。此前，一家组织给他颁发了一张联合国“世界首善”荣誉称号的证书，而这张证书是假的。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?

Controversial mainland philanthropist Chen Guangbiao claimed he was deceived by an organisation that issued him a fake United Nations certificate for the honorary title of the "world's Most prominent philanthropist".

During the luncheon on June 25, a man who claimed to be Patrick Donohue awarded Chen a certificate on behalf of China Foundation for Global Partnership.

"In support of United Nation", the foundation awarded Chen with the honorary title of "world's most prominent philanthropist", the certificate reads.

The best part of the story occurred on Monday when the real UN reminded Chen that they're called the "United Nations," not the "United Nation."

颇具争议的大陆慈善家陈光标声称他被骗了。此前，一家组织给他颁发了一张联合国“世界首善”荣誉称号的证书，而这张证书是假的。

在6月25日午餐会席间，一个自称叫帕特里克·唐纳修的男子代表中国全球合作基金会向陈光标颁发了一份证书。

这张证书上写着：“在联合国的支持下”，我基金会授予陈光标“世界首善”的荣誉称号。

而此事最精彩的部分发生在本周一。那天，真的联合国提醒陈光标，说他们的名字应是“United Nations”，而非“United Nation”。

　　【讲解】

文中的world's most prominent philanthropist就是“世界首善”的意思，其中philanthropist是“慈善家”的意思，从构词法角度分析，该词由前缀phil-(表示“爱”)、词根anthrop(表示“人类”)及名词后缀-ist构成。

此外，文中的honorary表示“有荣誉的，名誉的”，比如honorary degree(名誉学位)，注意honorary与honorable(荣誉的，应受尊敬的)之间的差异。
