每天吸收雙語時事新知

🌏World is legally obliged to pressure China on Uighurs, leading lawyers say
頂尖律師們說：全世界有法律義務為維吾爾族對中國施壓

-legally: 依法、在法律上
-obliged: 被迫、必須做某事
-legally obliged: 法律義務


👩‍⚖️The international community is legally obliged to take action on China’s alleged abuse of Uighur and other Turkic minorities, a prominent group of British lawyers has said, suggesting nations use sanctions, corporate accountability mechanisms, and international treaties preventing racial discrimination to pressure Beijing.
著名的英國律師團體表示，中國迫害維吾爾族和其他突厥語少數民族，國際社會具有法律義務對其採取行動，建議各國使用制裁、企業問責機制、以及防止種族歧視的國際條約來對北京施壓。

-abuse: 虐待、傷害、毀謗
-prominent: 著名的、重要的、傑出的
-sanction: 制裁
-accountability: 問責制


🇬🇧China’s refusal to be held legally accountable for the widespread and documented allegations did not absolve the global community of responsibility, the Bar Human Rights Committee of England and Wales (BHRC) said in a report released on Wednesday.
英格蘭和威爾斯律師協會人權委員會（BHRC）於週三（7/22）發佈的報告中表示，中國拒絕為廣泛具記錄的指控承擔法律責任，並不能免除全球社會的責任。

-refusal: 拒絕、回絕；動詞是refuse
-allegation: 指責、指控
-absolve: 免罪、免除責任，尤指法律或宗教上的罪咎


🇨🇳“All states, including China, have unequivocally accepted that slavery and racial discrimination, torture and genocide are prohibited,” it said. “They have committed to not carry out those proscribed acts; they have committed to their prevention; and they have committed to punishment of perpetrators where they have found individuals to have committed those proscribed acts. There can be no derogation from those commitments.”
報告說：「所有國家都明確接受了禁止奴隸制度、種族歧視、酷刑和大屠殺，包括中國在內。他們曾保證不進行這些被嚴禁的行為，保證會預防，也保證當發現個人犯下這些禁止行為時，會懲罰犯罪者。這些承諾絕不能被減損。」

-genocide: 大屠殺、種族滅絕
✍️「geno-」是基因、種族的意思，「-cide」是殺害，合在一起指「滅族」；字首改「sui-」（自己）則是自殺suicide，同字尾的單字還有殺蟲劑insecticide
-perpetrators: 犯罪者，動詞的犯罪是perpetrate
-commit: 承諾、保證；做（違法的事）；將...送至醫院或監獄
-derogation: 貶低、損害、廢除

林作x全職獵人久保Cover Letter Carving範例

以下範例可以作為各位寫Cover Letter的參考。

Fillture Career Coaching的客戶裏面，有工作年資尚淺的，也有工作年資超過20年的。他們也是來自於各行各業。目前來說，沒有哪一行或哪一個輩份的最多。我們不認為有最好的格式 － 每個人都會根據年齡、資歷、行業以及個人特點而有所不同。共同點，就只是幾樣：最好的英文，最清晰的表達，最真摯的情感，以及最有自我和自信的一面。下面這個Cover Letter例子，屬於我們頗為正常的一份。裡面一切的個人資訊已經被編輯，但屬於一個真實案例，客戶是來自於金融業年資少於10年的年輕人，他希望能夠到一個更大的平台，從事他這幾年來專門負責的工作，於是找了我們幫忙：

Dear Sir/ Madam,

With nearing X years of successful experience in the wealth management industry, I am firmly in the belief that the time is ripe for me to move on to what is considered one of the largest XXX in Hong Kong. I am confident that I possess the qualities necessary to thrive at such an outstanding company and in particular, become a valuable prospect as investment analyst in the Investment Department.

My investment journey as an analyst at fund distribution platforms, hedged funds and wealth management companies have honed my Top-down and Bottom-up approach as well as having personal investment conviction. Indeed, I believe the latter strength is the key to my achievement thus far – I take pride in being independent-minded, which is becoming increasingly important in this ever-expanding complex financial market. The valuable experience at XXX helped me to develop my personal market belief through mutual funds training and provided me a hands-on training in Bloomberg Terminal ( BBG).

From there, notwithstanding a tempting offer from XXX, my intention to move on to bigger and better things in mutual funds and hedge funds led me to secure a precious experience at XXX as XXX, which has provided me a perspective in practical option-trading strategies and the operational side of running a hedged fund. Throughout my time at the company, various stocks were identified and individuals’ fair value via Discount Cashflow model ( DCF ) were calculated. I provided constant economic updates to the Portfolio manager. My particularly proud achievement was to have successfully predicted that XXX would plummet significantly, a full week before it actually happened when no one in Hong Kong saw the same. This is due to my wide-than-usual horizon in terms of the information platforms I would survey. I am uniquely adept at looking into mainstream and niche mainland financial websites and other channels for the most updated information as well as gossips. This is the source of my being able to often come up with contrarian views. On the operation side of XXX, I was also responsible for calculating daily NAV to the portfolio manager.

Lastly, in my current job, being part of the investment team, my duty is to oversee the company’s XXX and set up investment outlook to our XXX. Timely reports and Top-down analysis on various economies were produced to the investment team committee and sales. Last year, I was honoured to play a notable role in securing a XXX return for the portfolio, beating the Hang Seng Index by XXX, and was rewarded to speak as the company’s sole representative on behalf of the research team at XXX 2019, which I greatly enjoyed. Finally, I personally boosted the client base by XXX, a rate well above average in the space of X months.

I look forward to having further discussions with you in an interview. Please contact me at xxx@gmail.com or at +852xxxxxxxx if you have any further enquiries about my academic background and work experience. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours faithfully,
XXX

這份 Cover Letter 的厲害之處在於幾個地方：

1. 英語的掌握能力，明顯比一般只是文法沒錯（而我們收到的初稿絕大部份甚至不會能夠做到這點）要好很多，於是句子的組織、節奏感都更像是一個native speaker。而風格上並不是死板的官方英文，有在一些位置故意地更談話feel一點，務求不虛情假意，更真摯。
2. 一些動詞和形容詞的選擇，也是讓這份看起來更加讓人印象深刻。即使內容不是很特別，給人的感受都變得更主動、更自信。
3. 要分享工作經驗，但細節留給CV。這裏是炫耀自己有多少功績的地方，要故事性地展現一些獨有的成就，無論是多大多小，給人感覺你是有自己的位置的。
4. 最後，要做一個有Edge的人。這封信有著強烈的個人定位，明顯有血有肉，知道自己的想法是什麼、態度是什麼。

我們認為，一份好的Cover Letter可以令到HR更加快過濾你，讀完之後可以理解你是一個什麼樣的求職者。甚至在腦海入面已經勾劃出你的影像、你的故事、你的目的。一份好的Cover Letter能夠立體地勾劃你，可以令到HR更加容易去和Line Manager描述、推薦你。

歡迎PM查詢此項服務，我們提供預約見面（Bespoke)，面對面溝通了解，從而雕塑出最好的你。

每個運動最合適的服裝是什麼？選手能不能自由選擇讓自己最舒服、最能夠發揮的衣服？被吹捧為史上最性別中立的東京奧運，性別議題再次被放到聚光燈下，除了選手的服裝規定還有更廣泛的，男女類別該如何定義呢？
