　　十大神秘人物第十位——乔查尼先生

　　乔查尼先生(逝世于1968年)，是一个隐姓埋名神秘的犹太人老师的小名。这个老师在二战后的欧洲曾教授过许多后来受人敬仰的学生(其中包括如图所示的伊曼纽尔·列为纳斯，还有埃利·维尔瑟尔)。很少人了解乔查尼先生，包括他的真实姓名。他来自哪里以及他整个人生历史如何都被当作秘密严密地守护着。在乌拉圭，他的墓碑(死于乌拉圭蒙特维多)上写着：“在记忆里祝福睿智的乔查尼大师，他的生辰与人生将像迷一样永远尘封。”文本是埃利·维尔瑟尔所写，他同时也是墓碑的筹立者。

　　乔查尼先生自身留下没有任何著名的作品，但他通过他的学生留下宝贵的知识财富。乔查尼先生穿着像个流浪汉，然而却是个深解人类多种领域学问的大师，包括科学，数学，哲学，特别是犹太法典《塔木德》他都擅长。大多数有关于他人生的细节点滴都来自他学生们的文章和谈话。

　　10 Monsieur Chouchani

　　Monsieur Chouchani (died 1968) is the nickname of an anonymous and mysterious Jewish teacher who taught a number ofhighly regarded students (including Emmanual Levinas (pictured above)and Elie Wiesel) in Europe after World War II. Very little is knownabout Chouchani, including his real name. His origins and entire lifehistory were kept a closely guarded secret.His gravestone in Montevideo, Uraguay where he died) reads: “The wiseRabbi Chouchani of blessed memory. His birth and his life are sealed in

　　enigma。” The text was written by Elie Wiesel who also paid for the gravestone。

　　There is no known body of work by Chouchani himself, but he left a very strong intellectual legacy via his students. Chouchani dressed like a vagabond but was a master of vast areas of human knowledge, including science,mathematics, philosophy and especially the Talmud. Most of the detailsof his life that are known come from the writings and interviews with his students。

　　十大神秘人物第九位——坡·祝酒人

　　坡·祝酒人是同样是一个神秘人的绰号，他每年都到爱伦坡墓前敬献物品。这个奇怪的传统始于1949年，刚好是爱伦坡去世后的一个世纪时间，每次都是在爱伦坡生日(一月十九日)那天进行。根据维基百科记载：“在那天的清晨时分，一个黑衣人，据推测应该是男性，带着点银的藤条进入威斯敏斯特议会大厅还有位于马里兰州的巴尔的摩市的坟场。这个人来到爱伦坡的墓前举起一杯白兰地祝酒。在离开前，祝酒人在墓上留下了三支玫瑰花和半瓶白兰地酒。”

　　祝酒人头戴黑帽身穿黑衣，用围巾裹着面庞。常常有簇拥的记者和追随者在场看着整个祝酒过程，没有人曾试图干扰过祝酒人或者上前揭开他的围巾，很大可能是出于对这个传统的尊重吧。

　　9 The Poe Toaster

　　The Poe Toaster is the nickname given to a mysterious man who pays annual tribute to Poe by visiting his grave every year.The strange tradition started in 1949 - a century are after Poe’sdeath, and it occurs every year on the author’s birthday (January 19).According to Wikipedia: “In the early hours of the morning on thatdate, a black-clad figure, presumed to be male, with a silver-tipped cane enters the West minster Hall and Burying Ground in Baltimore, Maryland. The individual

　　proceeds to Poe’s grave, where he or she raises a cognac toast. Beforedeparting, the Toaster leaves three red roses and a half-bottle ofcognac on the grave。”

　　The Toaster wears a black hat and coat and hides his face with a hood or scarf. Groups of reporters and admirers are often on hand to watch the event. There have been no attempts to interfere with the Toaster or to unmask him - most likely out of respect for the tradition。
