Young Trend among Sub-divided Units
.
Summary:
It is revealed in a report by Census and Statistics Department that over 200,000 people in Hong Kong are currently housed in as many as 92,000 sub-divided units. The most vexing discovery, however, is that almost 30% of all sub-divided unit residents fall under the age of 25.
.
Language Enhancement:
Vex (v.)(使某人傷腦筋)
此字由於相對地過時，因此現今已不大常見（但當然仍可使用）。它的意思是一件事煩憂著某人，使他／她感到擔心，與 annoy (v.) 和 worry (v.) 意思相近。一個令人感到煩厭或擔憂的問題，可以稱之為 a vexing problem/issue。
e.g. The high unemployment rate is proving to be a rather vexing issue for the government.
e.g. Susan’s inability to make decisions on her own is starting to vex me, as I need to spend a lot of time dealing with her questions.

[時事英文] Keep away from me?
完整影片: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--_57Y4DzvY
想必大家看完影片後就知道柯市長已經說「不用」婉拒好幾次了，使用Keep away from me 時個人推測是有一點在開玩笑吧。
我們在看英文短語時不可斷章取義，而是一定要看完整的語境!
如果柯市長真的是要表達不耐煩，那Keep away from me 用法是正確的，因為短語的意思是「與我保持距離」。Leave me alone (別打擾我)也是雷同的，通常是不想受到干擾才會用到這兩句。
比較婉轉的說詞去婉拒空服人員應該是No, thanks. 、I’m fine, thank you、I'm good, thanks、Thank you, but I’m good。
I’m good字面上的意思是「我很好」，但是實際的意思是「我很好了，不用再麻煩了」。通常我們在拒絕別人之前都會先感謝，所以常會先說一句 thanks 或 thank you。
但是說真的，柯市長已經非常客氣了 🙂
PS 剛被採訪，但以免被誤解先把我完整講的話在此寫下。

(你在開完笑嗎? 我秤豆子、磨豆、小心翼翼的看著scale，就是為了讓你品嚐到咖啡的風味......你要不要點一杯全自動咖啡或是拿鐵 )
2.點低因咖啡的同時問:「這是低因咖啡沒錯吧?」
(喔~竟然你提醒了我，可以把杯子先還給我，我幫你換成regular coffee...喔~不，我的意思是double check這是不是低因咖啡 )
3.請問有不是咖啡的飲品嗎?
(喔~你不喜歡咖啡喔!我誠心的對於沒有其他飲品給你選感到抱歉....門口在那裡(指))
4.我要一杯 “Expresso”....ㄜ...我們只有 espresso
5.認為咖啡師只是一項Student Job
(Uhmmm,....這是我的事業… #baristaforlife )
6.什麼?!!!瑪奇雅朵這麼小一杯喔!
(這就是瑪奇雅朵正常的大小，你要不要點12杯來滿足你的需求...)
7.Ordering While on the Phone
8.聽到沒有深焙咖啡...露出苦惱的臉
(要深焙是嗎?我可以幫你把咖啡豆放到烤箱加熱一下....)
9.覺得你懂得比我們還多
更多笑料都在咖啡師的os裡...
