< 出書了! >
上星期突然收到David的電郵,說是得到Sigmund Groven的推薦,邀請我進行一個Skype Interview,準備推出一本書名為 < Love of Chromatic Harmonica >。 當我首先看到Sigmund Groven (Tommy Reilly 傳人,現今的大大師級人馬)的推薦時,已經有點受寵若驚。然而,當我再仔細一點細閱另外18位同樣獲邀的人選,更是使我不得不倒抽一口涼氣!名單中大部份也早在我出世前便已成名的大師級人馬,例如傳說中的Franz Chmel,多年前已在世界舉行大大小小的大師班的Brendan Power,爵士樂大師Jens Bunge 等等。
所以,上星期日早上9時,非常準時地,我便戰戰兢兢地打開了Skype,滿腦子空白一片地Accept了David的來電了。
' Hello Leo! It was a fantastic playing and arrangement on the Invierno Porteno by Piazzolla! Would you like to describe how you have made the pieces outstanding, and what do you think Piazzolla intended to do?' 一聽,便知有備而來!Piazzolla...好像是半個世紀前的事了,最近滿腦子都是Miles Davis、Chick Corea、James Brown、Bill Evans...
' Let me start with how I interpret the song, there are five paragraphs from the piece... (竟然仲記得...)' 一邊講,一邊絞盡腦汁記返兩年前篇曲時的感覺... 'What you have to do, is to articulate, imagine something different in every paragraph. To tell a story...' 邊講著講著,好像終於知道自己在說什麼了!
就是這樣,談了兩小時。Articulation、音色、音量、用氣、呼吸的用法、口型、演繹、變化、手協調度的 Milestone、手型、坐姿、口琴設計、五種震音的方法、用Mic、口琴的潛力等等....
兩小時,很不夠用!但那種一邊暢談口琴,一邊把自己花了十幾年鑽研口琴的初步理解道出,而同時又有一個能完全明白歸納的聽眾的感覺,真的好不痛快!
再一次感謝一眾前輩的提攜,能夠擠身這本書的一整個章節,絕對非自己一人之力可以成真的!相信這本書亦將會是口琴界的一本傑出的作品,有鑑於早前數次的電郵對話已看出那名作家的文藝水平!

【articulate】
今天文章是由三篇小文中的第二篇,延續上一篇的文章,主題是:The Board’s Role in Sustainability主要介紹SCORE這個框架,score是由simplify, connect, own, reward, and exemplify五個字所簡稱的。詳細內容大家有興趣可以再點留言中的連結看唷~
回到單字本身,
今天要跟大家介紹的是這個單字:
『articulate』
第一眼看到的時候,會覺得很像article。所以我也順便來補充一下article的用法。(這邊我沒有去查他們的字首是否來自同源,歡迎大家補充分享~)
article是一個可數名詞,大家一般記得的中文為:n. 文章。
但其實它還有很多其他意思喔,
1. 物品或商品
例句:Guests are advised not to leave any articles of value in their hotel rooms.(from Cambridge dictionary)
2. 冠詞
3. 條文
例如:the article of the UN Charter 聯合國憲章的一個條款
說完大眾臉article,我們回來說articulate。
『articulate』可以當作動詞或是形容詞,
v. pronounce or say distinctly
a. able to speak clearly
轉變為n. 時,是指articulation n. 表達
例句:He made a clear articulation of his aims.
獻上本文例句:SCORE outlines five actions—simplify, connect, own, reward, and exemplify—that can help boards articulate and foster a firm’s durable value proposition and its drivers.

在一個明明是假日卻工作到晚上11點的日子,耗盡最後一分腦力寫出整理,覺得寫得很爛QQ,希望大家多多包涵~也歡迎一起響應每天閱讀的習慣唷!
