看到网上有段小文: 春节期间，打假名士方氏质疑韩氏父子作假, 父为子代笔写作，与韩氏团队展开网上“骂战”. 1月29日，韩氏父子委托律师，就方氏对其名誉造成损害事宜，在上海提起法律诉讼，索赔10万元. 同时，韩氏父子整理了1000页手稿并进行司法鉴定，证明自己无“代笔作弊”行为. (评:好一对父子兵)

文者并付一段英文报道：
Celebrity writer Han Han, widely seen as a hero by the younger generation, has become more deeply embroiled in ghostwriting allegations following claims by a well-known anti-fraud campaigner. Millions of netizens have watched online as Han's credibility crisis appears to be escalating, after Fang Zhouzi, who once forced former Microsoft CEO Kaifu Lee to admit exaggerating his academic achievements in his previously published books, continued to target Han.

(被视作青年一代意见领袖的'名流'作家韩氏，深陷知名打假斗士方氏的代笔质疑. 在方质疑下，曾任微软CEO的李开复承认在之前出版的书中夸大学术成就，之后，方氏又将矛头指向了韩氏，韩氏的信任危机似乎升级，引发数百万网民在网上观战)

文中的"ghostwrite"就是"代笔"的意思，"ghostwriter"是指"代笔人".“ghost”作名词是“鬼，幽灵”的意思，其作动词也可以指"代笔".

其实代写丑闻在世界文学史上层出不穷,有些丑闻还闹得惊天动地. 一人造假不可怕, 可怕的是一伙人在造假, 那就是十恶不赦!

代写也可以开诚布公的, 比如一些当事人冒死说出真相或故事, 但不能用真名, 只能用代笔. 还有相当一部分是自己不会写, 但会口述让人代写，这些没可非议.
