Zoom Etiquette
線上會議禮節

🖥ZOOM IS a blessing and a curse. The ubiquitous virtual meeting place keeps us close to important people in our lives but never lets us truly escape the office. And it’s quickly forced us to develop new etiquette.
ZOOM這東西好壞參半，無所不在的線上會議讓我們與重要的人保持緊密聯繫，但卻從未讓我們真正逃離辦公室，並迫使我們迅速發展新的社交禮儀。

-ubiquitous: 隨處可見的
-escape: 逃脫
-etiquette: 禮節

🎙First, always know where your camera is pointed. This lets you conceal your new double chin and helps everyone forget you swore off wearing pants in March. Next, master muting. If you see people tearfully flailing on screen, assume they’re trying to get you to unmute. Conversely, if you’re bad-mouthing your boss with the mic on, your resume may need updating.
首先，一定要知道你的鏡頭面向哪邊，這有助於隱藏你的新雙下巴以及讓大家忘記你在三月時曾發誓要穿上褲子。接著是全靜音，如果你看到人們在螢幕上手揮來揮去的，就先假設他們要你解除靜音，相反地，假如你開著麥克風說你老闆壞話，那你就可以先去更新履歷了。

-conceal: 掩蓋
-double chin: 雙下巴
-swear off: 發誓
-flail: (尤指手或腳）胡亂擺動
-bad mouthing: 講某人壞話

☕️Also, no eating. It’s hard to pay attention to last month’s sales figures while watching someone chow down. That said, a well-timed sip of coffee can perfectly punctuate your point.
然後，不要吃東西。當看著別人大快朵頤時實在很難專注在上個月的銷售數字上，但一杯適時的咖啡卻可以完美地強調你的觀點。

-chow down: 大口吃（非正式場合）
-well-timed: 時機剛好的
-punctuate: 加上標點，此有加強的意思

🚣🏾Growing up in the 1990s on Chicago’s violent West Side, Arshay Cooper often had his walk home from school punctuated by the sound of gunfire. To him, “crew” was another word for “gang.” One day in the fall of 1997, a rowing coach with the nonprofit Urban Options who was trying to launch a team at Mr. Cooper’s overwhelmingly African-American high school beckoned him toward a sleek boat and a rowing video display set up in the cafeteria. Mr. Cooper realized that “crew” could mean something else.
Arshay Cooper生長於二十世紀90年代暴力橫行的芝加哥西部，在他從學校返家的歸途經常被槍聲給打斷，對他來說crew就是另一個gang的同義詞。在1997年秋日的某天，非營利組織Urban Options的一名划船教練正試圖在Cooper身處非裔美國人佔多數的高中內組建一支隊伍，當時教練向他招手，示意他來到放在餐廳內一條流線型的船前，同時有著一支划船賽的影片播放著。Cooper這才理解到原來crew這個字也可以代表其他事物。

-punctuate: 打斷、中斷（所以punctuation就是標點、斷句）
-crew: 組員、機組員等，此作為成員的意思
-gang: 幫派成員
-beckon: （向…）招手、示意
-sleek: 平整的；線條流暢的

🏆He wound up joining what would become Manley Crew, the country’s first all-black high school rowing squad. In a new memoir, “A Most Beautiful Thing,” to be published June 30, Mr. Cooper credits the sport with transforming his life and those of his teammates, keeping them away from gang violence, focusing their studies and paving the way toward more promising futures.
他最終加入了後來成為曼利船隊的全美第一支全黑人高中划船隊，在即將於6/30出版的新回憶錄『最美的事』中，Cooper認為划船這項運動改變了他和隊友們的人生，使他們遠離幫派暴力並專注在學業上，並為他們鋪平了通往更好未來的康莊大道。

-wind up: （使自己）陷入、捲入，這邊解為最終自己的狀況…
-memoir: 回憶錄
-credit: 讚許、讚揚（動詞）

Tone up! The Hermès collections for the home show its true colors and punctuate interiors.
h.fr/HomeCollections

Vilified when he left and celebrated when he returned, LeBron James had spent the past two seasons lugging his city’s championship dreams like a bag of rocks. The weight had only grown more cumbersome — the weight of history, of disappointment, of missed opportunities.

James could feel it all on his sturdy shoulders.

On Sunday night, before a dazed and defeated crowd at Oracle Arena, James delivered on the grandest stage of his superhuman career, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first championship in franchise history with a 93-89 victory over the Golden State Warriors in Game 7 of the N.B.A. finals.

“I came back for a reason,” James said. “I came back to bring a championship to our city.”

James collected 27 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists to punctuate one of the most remarkable individual performances in finals history. James, who was named the finals’ most valuable player, got ample help from his teammate Kyrie Irving, whose 3-pointer with 53 seconds remaining gave the Cavaliers the lead — and an improbable title.

Improbable because the Cavaliers became the first team to rally from a 3-1 series deficit to win a championship. Improbable because the Warriors, after setting an N.B.A. record with 73 victories in the regular season, had spent months making the case that they were the most dominant team since Dr. James Naismith first affixed a peach basket to a wall.

And improbable, above all, because of Cleveland’s ragtag history as an also-ran. Not since 1964, when the Browns won the N.F.L. championship, had the city claimed a major sports title.

James, who grew up in nearby Akron, has forever changed all of that. He stuffed the series with thunderous dunks and fadeaway jumpers, blocked shots and glowering expressions, towing his teammates along in his ferocious wake. James won two championships with the Miami Heat, but this was his first with the Cavaliers — and his first for Ohio.

Not even the Warriors, who were pursuing back-to-back championships in a repeat of last year’s finals matchup, could slow his march.

That was the best game I've ever seen.
“The game always gives back to people that are true to the game,” James said. “I’ve watched it. I know the history of the game, and I was just calm. I was calm.”
