這學期會話課我選了2016年的 “Designated Survivor”當補充教材，雖然是舊片，但在字彙與片語的豐富度和各種社會、文化、政治議題都有所觸及的廣度是我很喜歡的。這一季的 “Emily in Paris”就不太適合，“The Queen's Gambit”因為不是自己喜歡的類型，所以看了一集就棄看了。私心自然是最喜歡Ridley Scott導演的“Raised by Wolves”，這當然是因為我對與外星文明有關的片毫無抵抗力，而且如果說普羅米修斯是異型前傳的話，那“Raised by Wolves”似乎正走向普羅米修斯前傳。
以下是整理出來的“Designated Survivor”第一季第一集所出現的重要單字和片語，本來是出給學生們當作業的但是沒人交 ~

「每日英文閱讀分享#001」

為了養成每天唸英文的習慣，決定每天看一篇Harvard Business Review的文章來看，並每天跟大家分享其中讓我心怦怦跳的句子或是用法！

【weather the crisis】

你可能聽過：How's the weather today?

但你知道當weather變成動詞時是什麼意思嗎？

是 pass through safely 『安然度過（尤指風暴或困難）』

可以這麼搭配：『weather the crisis/ the storm/ the recession』

例句：You might also want to highlight that you’ve worked in high-pressure environments before, since most companies’ priority right now will be weathering the crisis and will be looking for people who can contribute to that effort. (from Harvard Business Review)
