Nobel Price

Lietuviai – didi tauta, kuri gali pasiekti visko, ko tik nori. Trūksta tik pasitikėjimo ir sektinų pavyzdžių jaunimui. Tuo įsitikinę užsienyje dirbantys verslininkai ir menininkai, pirmadienį ryte kalbėję „Global Lithuanian Leaders“ renginyje. Renginio tikslas – apdovanoti daug pasiekusius užsienio lietuvius. Vienas iš nominantų – verslininkas Antanas Guoga sakė, kad skleisti įkvėpimą jauniems lietuviams yra jo pašaukimas. Taip pat buvo iškelta mintis, kad reikėtų stiprinti tokių apdovanojimų prestižą tarptautiniu lygmeniu - kaip pavyzdys buvo paminėta Nobelio premija.

Stiprinti prestižą...

Prestige refers to a good reputation or high esteem, though in earlier usage, it meant showiness.

Sveriges Riksbank celebrated its 300th anniversary in 1968 by donating a large sum of money to the Nobel Foundation. The following year, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded for the first time.

Pataisė prestižą 1968-tais, didele suma.

prize (n.1)
"reward," 1590s, alteration of Middle English prise (c.1300 in this sense; see price (n.)). Prize-fighter is from 1703; prize-fight from 1824. Prized "highly esteemed" is from 1530s.

price (n.)
early 13c., pris, from O.Fr. pris "price, value, wages, reward," also "honor, praise, prize" (Mod.Fr. prix), from L.L. precium, from L. pretium "reward, prize, value, worth," from PIE *preti- "back," on notion of "recompense" (cf. Skt. aprata "without recompense, gratuitously," Gk. protei "toward, to, upon," Lett. pret "opposite," O.C.S. protivu "in opposition to, against").

Praise, price, and prize began to diverge in Old French, with praise emerging in Middle English by early 14c. and prize being evident by late 1500s with the rise of the -z- spelling. Having shed the extra Old French and Middle English senses, the word now again has the base sense of the Latin original. Price-tag is recorded from 1881.

Stiprinkim prestižą.
