Quote:

"The Foreign Office is not thought to be offering assistance to Mrs Heywood at the moment, and she may not qualify for permanent British residency.

"The 73 year-old said that some of the claims made about the case had been 'outrageous lies

My comment: In quotation 1, "Mrs Heywood" refers to wife of Mr Neil Heywood. Clarification is necessary, in my opinion, because later in this Telegraph report, the same "Mrs Heywood" is applied to refer to Heywood's MOTHER.

I am unsure if the Chinese translation is correct. Probably not.

Harrow School

The table lists two "mottoes" (www.m-w.com indicates the plural form of "motto" is "mottoes also mottos"):
(i) Latin: Stet Fortuna Domus
("Let the Fortune of the House Stand")

("The Faithful Dispensation of the Gifts of God")

My comment:
(a) Balliol College, Oxford
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balliol_College,_Oxford
(founded in about 1263 by John I de Balliol)
(b) PPE  | Philosophy, Politics and Economics - University of Oxford
www.ppe.ox.ac.uk/
(c) The "taps of gold" is the pluralform of tap, meaning spigot, faucet.
(d) The report talks about "tutor" of Oxford uNiversity.
(i) Studying at Oxford: An Introduction. http://www.ox.ac.uk/about_the_un ... oduction/index.html("Oxford offers undergraduates a unique learning experience through the tutorial system, in which students meet regularly with their college tutor, either on a one-to-one basis or with one or two other students")
(ii) A tutor in that university seems high-ranking. For example,

Senior Members. Balliol College, Oxford University.
http://www.balliol.ox.ac.uk/about-balliol/senior-members
("Kirwan, Frances Clare  BA Camb, MA DPhil Oxf, FRS[:]  Professor of Mathematics, and Tutor in Mathematics")
(iii)
(A) university don
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_don
("A don is a fellow  or tutor  of a college  or university, especially traditional collegiate universities such as Oxford and Cambridge in England. The term—similar to the title still used for Catholic Priests—is a historical remnant of Oxford and Cambridge having started as ecclesiastical institutions in the Middle Ages")
(B) don (n; Spanish, from Latin dominus  [meaning] master)
"1: a Spanish nobleman or gentleman —used as a title prefixed to the Christian name
* * *
3: a head, tutor, or fellow in a college of Oxford or Cambridge University; broadly : a college or university professor
4 [Italian, title of respect, from donno, literally, lord, from Latin dominus] : a powerful Mafia leader"

(iv)
(A) tutor
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutor
("In the University of Cambridge, a Tutor  is an officer of a college responsible for the pastoral care of a number of students in cognate disciplines, as against a Director of Studies who is responsible for the academic progress of a group of students in their own discipline, with both Tutors and Directors of Study answering to a Senior Tutor. In the University of Oxford, the colleges fuse pastoral and academic care into the single office of Fellow and Tutor, also known as a CUF Lecturer")

(B)  The "pastoral" is an adjective for two nouns: pasture  and pastor (Latin pastor [meaning] herdsman), both of which is ultimately from Latin  pascere to feed.

Besides definitions (relating to shepherds, herdsmen or countryside), the pertinent definition of pastural in this context:
"2a : of or relating to spiritual care or guidance especially of a congregation   
b : of or relating to the pastor of a church"

Definitions of both "don" and "pastoral" are from www.m-w.com.
