#文青的英文怎麼說？
☝️先說明一個概念：
語言之間本來就有很多字、詞語是永遠無法翻譯到百分之百正確，因為很多時候這些詞語都是在某個文化現象下被創造出來，不同國家、民族、地區裡的人很少會有完全一樣的文化，創造出來的字當然不會完全一樣囉！
☝️再想一下，「文青」到底是什麼意思？
我自己也曾經自詡為一個文青的人：
滿愛泡在書店裡、買買書、蒐集電影DVD、逛文創市集，週末再去看場表演，當然還要帶粗框眼鏡，希望別人給自己的評價是：哇你好好有文藝氣息呀！
☝️有了這個文藝青年的「形象」後，可以怎麼表達呢？

I’m kind of interested in Susie. What is she like?
(我對Susie滿有好感的耶，她人怎麼樣啊？)
Well, she’s pretty nice. She loves performing arts and works at Eslite Bookstore.
(她喔，不錯啊，她很喜歡表演藝術類的東西，然後在誠品工作。)
Oh wow, she’s an art lover/enthusiast. 🤔
(喔是喔，這麼文青啊🤔。)

通常我們想要形容一個人的時候，會稍微提到他喜歡、常常做的事情，
有了這些描繪，自然而然就能讓別人瞭解他是什麼風格的人。
所以「文青」常常會喜歡文藝類的東西。
He reads a lot of books.
他很喜歡閱讀。
He’s kind of an artsy person.
他滿走藝術文藝路線的。
She’s a music lover/enthusiast.
她熱愛音樂。
She likes to roam around a flea/secondhand/holiday market.
她喜歡逛手作/二手市集。
She loves photography.
她很喜歡攝影。

A: Which one is Kevin?
(哪一個是 Kevin?)
B: That one. In super skinny jeans and a plaid shirt.
(那個，穿緊身牛仔褲和格子襯衫的。)
A: The one with the horn-rimmed glasses?
(戴粗框眼鏡的嗎？)
B: Yeah, that’s him.
(對！)
A: Oh, he’s such a hipster.
(歐～太文青了吧！)
我們也常常用穿著定義「文青」，對吧？(當然，不是一定要這樣穿的！)
Hipster算是最接近「文青」的字，不過美國文化下的hipster畢竟和台灣的hipster還是會有些不同，但是共同點就是，都有比較文藝、非主流的品味。

Do you want to go to Blueprint Cultural & Creative Park? There are lots of great spots for pictures. I can bring my Canon.
(你想不想去藍晒圖文創園區？那裡很好拍耶，我可以帶我的Canon（單眼）去。)
Nah, too hipster. I just want to have an ultimate food tour in Tainan. 🤣
(不要，太文青了。我只想來趟大吃大喝之旅 🤣)
有時候「文青」也被借來當形容詞來用，不算是最正確的用法，但有時候我們也是會說「這件衣服太文青了吧～」英文要這樣借用一下也是可以的。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

最近22歲詩人 Amanda Gorman 因為在美國總統的就職典禮上朗誦一首詩而大紅。你也許沒有聽完整首詩，或是聽了但感覺裡面一堆高深的比喻跟詞彙，但其實，她用的許多技巧不但簡單，非英文母語的人也可以很快應用，加強自己英文溝通效果。

我們就來一起看看幾個好用的，從基礎到進階。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

1. 基礎技巧：提出問題，帶聽眾一起找答案 📣

她的詩的本質，其實就是問答。她在詩的開頭提出一個問題，然後透過詩的過程，帶大家一起尋找解答。

開頭兩行：
When day comes we ask ourselves,
where can we find light in this never-ending shade?

美國處在一個如此黑暗的時刻，光到底在哪裡？結尾三行給了答案：

For there is always light,
if only we’re brave enough to see it
If only we’re brave enough to be it

★★★★★★★★★★★★

2. 中階技巧：用節奏帶動聽眾的情緒 📣

回去聽 Amanda Gorman 的詩，節奏在中後段明顯變化，就算光看文字也看的出來，尤其是多少句子用同樣的開頭 。這個用法叫做首語重複法(anaphora)。

一開始，只有連續兩句有同樣的開頭，頂多三句。

如：
We’ve braved the belly of the beast
We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace

或：
That even as we grieved, we grew
That even as we hurt, we hoped
That even as we tired, we tried

如果我們把這些句子想成心跳，這個時候，詩的「心跳」還不是很快。但到了後半段，就不一樣了！

1. we will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one
2. We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the west,
3. we will rise from the windswept northeast
where our forefathers first realized revolution
4. We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the midwestern states,
5. we will rise from the sunbaked south
6. We will rebuild, reconcile and recover

連續六個 “we will”，連她朗誦的速度也加快了，聲音也亢奮了，我相信在場的聽眾，心跳也跟著加速了。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

3. 進階技巧：核心觀念的對比 📣

你要跟大家說的話，有沒有一個最核心的 “core idea”？這個 “core idea”是否有另一個與它對立的idea？許多讓人難忘的演講，都有這樣的對比：

MLK 的演講：NOT FREE vs. FREE
Michelle Obama 最有名的演講: when they go LOW, we go HIGH
Steve Jobs 的演講，也都有以前的科技 vs. 新的科技

Amanda Gorman 的詩帶出了一系列有強烈對比的字，一邊是負面的，一邊是正面的：

That even as we GRIEVED, we GREW
That even as we HURT, we HOPED
That even as we TIRED, we TRIED

我覺得她整首詩的核心訊息是「黑暗中，其實一直有光明」，所以這些字的對比 — 如 hurt & hope、或 battered & beautiful — 就完美的襯托了這個核心訊息，告訴大家美國也許現在很慘，但在慘淡中還是有很多希望的!

楊為植先生現為台灣產業創生平台的副執行長，曾與產官學各界傑出領袖共事，也是專業的簡報及演講教練。他曾任職於中華民國總統府，協助總統與副總統進行外交政策溝通。此前，他曾任職於國際科學理事會（全球科學社群中歷史最悠久、最具權威的跨領域國際科學組織），協助會長與諾貝爾獎得主李遠哲博士擬定理事會的策略及營運。

拜登的就職典禮上，有個鎂光燈焦點，她是22歲年輕非裔詩人Amanda Gorman，也是有史以來美國總統就職典禮上朗讀詩歌的最年輕詩人，她下台後，美國媒體一致好評，說她的亮眼表現簡直偷走了整個舞台，她ig也硬生生從不到九萬人追蹤，到現在已經有將近兩百六十萬個追蹤者，機會來了，Amanda Gorman成功抓住，也是新的美國夢的代表。

Amanda Gorman來自自由的洛杉磯，去年從哈佛畢業，還在就學的時候就已經嶄露頭角，2017年成為美國第一位National Youth Poet Laureate得主，一直以來她的作品都聚焦在種族平等、反性騷擾等議題，點開影片看看她的朗誦，站在全美國人、全世界的人面前，她台風穩健、絲毫不怯場，用自己的詩作The Hill We Climb抓住了所有人的目光，但我們沒看出來的是，她從小患有語言障礙，無法發出部分字母的音，能這樣站在台上，不知道在台下花了多少努力。

Amanda Gorman在朗誦中強調：「美國人已經體驗過不願同甘共苦、分裂國家的那種力量，這股勢力為了拖延民主發展，也會導致國家被摧毀，但這項行動沒有成功，雖然民主可能遭到耽誤，但是卻永遠不會被擊敗。」她也說：「一個瘦巴巴的黑人女孩，身為奴隸後代，被單親媽媽扶養長大，但是卻能夢想有一天當上總統，現在正在為總統朗誦詩詞。」

五分多鐘的演講，得到全場鼓掌跟歡呼，希望這些激勵人心的詩句，能彌補美國被選舉撕裂的傷痕，我很喜歡她的詩作的結尾，就分享這段不負責翻譯給大家:

當晨曦來臨時 我們可以走出火焰帶來的陰影
When day comes, we step out of the shade of flame

絲毫不畏懼地 讓黎明綻放 只要我們自由釋放
And unafraid, the new dawn blooms as we free it

只要我們足夠勇敢 就永遠能見證光芒
For there is always light if only we’re brave enough to see it

只要我們足夠勇敢
If only we’re brave enough to be it

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

以下是Amanda Gorman 《 The Hill We Climb》全文 ：

When day comes, we ask ourselves

Where can we find light in this never-ending shade
The loss we carry, a sea we must wade
We’ve braved the belly of the beast
We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace
And the norms and notions of what just is
Isn’t always justice
And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it
Somehow we do it
Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed
A nation that isn’t broken but simply unfinished
We, the successors of a country and a time
Where a skinny black girl descended from slaves
And raised by a single mother
can dream of becoming president
only to find herself reciting for one
And yes we are far from polished, far from pristine
But that doesn’t mean
We are striving to form a union that is perfect

We are striving to forge a union with purpose
To compose a country committed
To all cultures, colors, characters, and conditions of man
And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us
But what stands before us
We close the divide because we know
To put our future first
We must first put our differences aside
We lay down our arms
So we can reach out our arms to one another
We seek harm to none and harmony for all
Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true:
That even as we grieved, we grew
That even as we hurt, we hoped
That even as we tired, we tried
That we’ll forever be tied together
Victorious not because we will never again know defeat
But because we will never again sow division
Scripture tells us to envision that everyone
Shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid

If we’re to live up to our own time,
Then victory won’t lighten the blade
But in all the bridges we’ve made
That is the promise to glade
The hill to climb if only we dare it
Because being American is more than a pride we inherit
It’s the past we step into and how we repair it
We’ve seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it,
Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy
And this effort very nearly succeeded.
But while democracy can be periodically delayed,
It can never be permanently defeated.
In this truth, in this faith we trust
For while we have our eyes on the future
History has its eyes on us.
This is the era of just redemption we feared
At its inception we did not feel prepared
To be the heirs of such a terrifying hour

But within it we found the power
To author a new chapter
To offer hope and laughter to ourselves
So while once we asked, how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe?
Now we assert: how could catastrophe possibly prevail over us?
We will not march back to what was but move to what shall be,
A country that is bruised but whole,
Benevolent but bold, fierce, and free
We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation
Because we know our inaction and inertia
Will be the inheritance of the next generation
Our blunders become their burdens but one thing is certain:
If we merge mercy with might and might with right
Then love becomes our legacy, and change our children’s birthright
So let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left
With every breath from my bronze, pounded chest
We will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one
We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the west
We will rise from the windswept northeast
Where our forefathers first realized revolution
We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the Midwestern states
We will rise from the sunbaked south
We will rebuild, reconcile, and recover

In every known nook of our nation, in every corner called our country
Our people diverse and beautiful will emerge, battered and beautiful
When day comes, we step out of the shade of flame
And unafraid, the new dawn blooms as we free it
For there is always light if only we’re brave enough to see it

If only we’re brave enough to be it

DUBAI — The King is returning, stronger than ever.

Chevrolet today introduced the 2019 Corvette ZR1, a supercar that pushes Corvette’s performance legacy with the highest power, greatest track performance and most advanced technology in its production history.

“I’ve never driven a Corvette like this before, and nobody else has either, because there’s never been one like this before,” said Mark Reuss, executive vice president, Global Product Development, Purchasing and Supply Chain. “Its unprecedented performance puts all other global supercars on notice that the ZR1 is back.”

The Corvette ZR1’s exclusive LT5 supercharged engine, which is rated at an SAE-certified 755 horsepower (563 kW) and 715 lb-ft of torque (969 Nm), is establishing a new benchmark in performance. Further, the ZR1 elevates Corvette’s track capability with two wind tunnel-honed aerodynamics packages, including an available High Wing that provides an estimated 950 pounds of downforce.

Most powerful ever

The ZR1’s LT5 6.2L V-8 engine advances Corvette’s supercharging legacy, which began with the 2009 sixth-generation ZR1 and continued with the 2015 seventh-generation Z06. The LT5 delivers the highest output ever for a Chevrolet production vehicle, thanks in part to a new, more-efficient intercooled supercharger system that offers 52 percent more displacement than the Z06’s LT4 supercharger. GM’s first dual-fuel-injection system, which employs primary direct injection and supplemental port injection, helps the LT5 achieve its record output.

Seven-speed manual and eight-speed paddle-shift automatic transmissions are available with the LT5. It’s the first time an automatic transmission has been offered in a ZR1.

Fastest ever

The 2019 Corvette ZR1’s aggressive appearance is driven by function, contributing to its distinction as the fastest production Corvette to date.

An all-new front fascia is designed to channel air for propulsion-system and drivetrain cooling, with four new radiators bringing the heat-exchanger total to 13. A special carbon-fiber “halo” hood is open in the middle to clear the LT5 engine’s supercharger/intercooler assembly. Additional features, including aero packages with stanchion-mounted wings, help push the ZR1 harder onto the track for more confident handling and faster lap times. Top speed of the ZR1 is over 210 mph.

“As the highest-performing Corvette ever, the ZR1’s design supports its capability in every way,” said Kirk Bennion, Exterior Design manager. “The new wings, for example, help generate more downforce without adding drag, enhancing road holding and top speed.”

The ZR1 will offer two aero packages: a standard rear Low Wing, which delivers the highest top speed and helps generate up to 70 percent more downforce than the Z06’s base aero package, and an available two-way-adjustable High Wing that offers maximum downforce on the track for the quickest lap times — about 60 percent more downforce than the Z06 with the available Z07 Performance Package. All models also feature a Chevrolet-first, downforce-enhancing front underwing.

The adjustable High Wing is part of the new ZTK Performance Package, which also includes a front splitter with carbon-fiber end caps, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 summer-only tires, and specific chassis and Magnetic Ride Control tuning for greater cornering grip.

Both of the ZR1’s wings are tied into the chassis, like the Corvette Racing C7.R racecar, for strength and stability.

Sebring Orange Design Package

The Corvette ZR1 introduced today also debuted a dynamic, available Sebring Orange Design Package. Centered on its Sebring Orange Tintcoat exterior color, the package also includes orange brake calipers, orange rocker and splitter accent stripes, orange seat belts, orange interior stitching and unique, bronze aluminum interior trim.

The new design package complements the Corvette ZR1’s tradition of offering maximum performance with refinement and design distinction. The driver-focused, well-appointed cockpit includes standard leather-trimmed seats, with sueded microfiber inserts offered. Heated and vented Napa leather-trimmed seating is also available, as well as a carbon fiber-rimmed steering wheel, competition sport seats, Performance Data Recorder, Bose premium audio system and more.

The 2019 Corvette ZR1 goes on sale next spring, poised to take on the world’s best.

It’s good to be the King.

The New York Knicks got their first look at Dikembe Mutombo in a Philadelphia 76ers uniform. In the end, they saw enough of Allen Iverson.

Without center Marcus Camby to provide his shot-blocking prowess, the Knicks had no second line of defense for Philadelphia's electrifying guard and suffered an 89-82 loss to the 76ers.

The absence of Camby became pronounced in the final minutes after Latrell Sprewell scored eight straight points to pull the Knicks within 79-77.

But Iverson would not let his team fall apart. He hit a 19-foot jumper over Sprewell from the left sideline with 2:57 left.

On New York's next two possessions, the intimidation factor of the 7-foot-2 Mutombo caused Kurt Thomas to go too strong off the backboard on a running layup and Sprewell had a layup attempt partially blocked by George Lynch.

"They did a good job of coming on the weak side to help on the one drive that I had," Sprewell said. "Lynch got a piece of it. And the one Kurt (Thomas) had, Dikembe's presence was felt on that play. Those were two baskets we could have used down the stretch."

Philadelphia's Aaron McKie drove to the basket and converted a layup over Thomas to increase the lead to 83-77 with 2:03 remaining.

Allan Houston, who returned to the lineup after missing three games with a thigh bruise, hit a jumper while he was fouled by Eric Snow and made the free throw to complete the three-point play, pulling the Knicks within 83-80 with 1:41 left.

After a Philadelphia turnover, the Knicks had a chance to tie it but a 3-point attempt by Sprewell rimmed out.

Iverson then isolated on Sprewell at the top of the key, blew right by him and hit a floater in the lane over Glen Rice -- a far cry from a shot-blocking presence like Camby -- with 49 seconds remaining.

"The little kid (Iverson) made two big shots and when they got it within two we made defensive stops," said Sixers coach Larry Brown.

"We played hard enough to win, we just didn't play well enough to win," said Knicks coach Jeff Van Gundy. "When the game got tight, Iverson made shots."

Snow and Kevin Ollie each hit a pair of free throws in the final 26 seconds for Philadelphia (55-25), which has already clinched homecourt advantage throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs.

"The guys understand that if I'm going well, I'm going to have the ball in my hand," Iverson said. "If any team doubles me or tries to take something away from me, my teammates are going to make shots. If we do that, we'll be alright going into the playoffs."

The San Antonio Spurs have earned homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs, but the Sixers are still competing with teams like Sacramento (54-25) and the Los Angeles Lakers (54-26) for the homecourt in a possible NBA Finals matchup.

The Knicks squandered an opportunity to tie Miami for the seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Heat, which lost at home to Orlando, 90-73 on Sunday, lead the Knicks by one game with two games left in the regular season.

If the Knicks go into the playoffs as the fourth seed, they would play the Sixers in the second round if both teams advance.

"If we play with that type of effort and energy, it doesn't matter who we play," Sprewell said. "If we do the right things on the floor, it's about us and not who we're playing."

Iverson finished with 27 points. Mutombo was the major reason why the Sixers outrebounded the Knicks, 49-33, grabbing 16 boards.

"I am encouraged when we win with defense and rebounding," Brown said. "That is the only way this team is going to survive."

Camby, New York's 6-11 center, suffered a hip contusion in New York's loss at Indiana last Wednesday and is expected to be sidelined for a week.

Sprewell scored 12 of his 26 points in the fourth quarter for New York.

Houston had 15 points, but missed 11-of-16 shots. Rice was just 4-of-11 from the field.

"We had a lot of wide-open shots, but the ball wasn't going in," Rice said. "You're going to have games like that."

The Knicks raced to a 16-6 lead as the Sixers missed 11 of their first 12 shots.

But Iverson hit a pair of jumpers and two layups and McKie added five points as the Sixers responded with a 13-4 run to pull within 20-19. Rice ended the quarter with a layup for New York
