🔍語料庫是透過大量文本分析單詞用法建立而成的資料庫，學習外文時常常會需要語料庫讓我們確認自己的理解是否也是外國人常用的用法，藉此避免掉中式英文的問題。當家教已經快要四年了，我從大一上就接了家教，在這三年多的日子當中輔導了數十位同學成功戰勝了「英文寫作」，我覺得一剛開始學生最需要擺脫的就是傳統教育下背單字只被「字」&「中文」的窘境。以下舉例：
例如：dilemma 兩難
困境：不知道動詞用什麼
正確：記憶dilemma 的collocations
正解：be caught in / be faced with / confront the moral dilemma 面臨兩難

💬除此之外，就是學生因為沒有培養閱讀習慣，長文讀得少，只在乎單詞、少有語境或者文句的刺激，以致於寫出來的句子很「怪」，這個怪的點可能源自於「邏輯」、「語用習慣」，其實真正解決方法還是多閱讀，但要有意識的讀，將文章看成許多語塊，以下舉例說明～
🟨Poorly run meetings do not just waste time, they jeopardise the ability to meet deadlines, adding to workers’ stress. Long meetings should have breaks, which the manager should take responsibility for enforcing. And any meeting should be 20 or 50 minutes long, rather than 30 minutes or an hour, to allow for a gap between sessions in an hourly schedule.

🟧換成語塊後：
Poorly run meetings do not just waste time, they jeopardise the ability to meet deadlines, adding to workers’ stress.
1️⃣jeopardize the ability to…讓…不能…
☑️jeopardize危及到
= put…in jeopardy
⁡
Long meetings should have breaks［, which the manager should take responsibility for enforcing. ］And any meeting should be 20 or 50 minutes long, rather than 30 minutes or an hour, {to allow for a gap between sessions in an hourly schedule.}
2️⃣切子句［ 標註 ]
🟡可練習切形容詞子句/名詞子句/副詞子句
3️⃣ … rather than … 而不是
4️⃣切不定詞片語

會議開得不好不僅浪費時間，還會影響員工按時完成任務的能力，增加員工的壓力。長時間的會議應該有休息時間，管理者應該負責執行。

🟥後記
中翻英是非常正常的事情，畢竟中文是我們的母語，我們熟悉這個語言模式已經十幾年，因此搞懂「中英文轉換不同的邏輯」是第一步，語料庫可以讓你更快理解這些邏輯思維！另外在讀雜誌的時候可以挑選一篇看著英文去翻譯成最通順的中文，練習如何翻譯之外，其實也可以讓自己更懂中英文排列上的不同。

🗣臉書執行長祖克柏的2018新年志願，其中一項是聚焦「#去中心化」(decentralization)議題。他認為現在少數大型科技公司興起，加上政府利用科技來監視民眾，讓許多人認為科技集中化問題。

像是加密貨幣與區塊鏈技術，將可能解決集權化的問題，因此他將研究如何把區塊鏈技術和加密貨幣整合進 Facebook。

祖克柏每年年初都會發表新年新希望，像去年是走訪美國每一州、2016年是建立最簡單的家庭AI系統，以及最有名的是2010年學習中文 （他還真的學到能說流利中文）。

Every year I take on a personal challenge to learn something new. I've visited every US state, run 365 miles, built an AI for my home, read 25 books, and learned Mandarin.

I started doing these challenges in 2009. That first year the economy was in a deep recession and Facebook was not yet profitable. We needed to get serious about making sure Facebook had a sustainable business model. It was a serious year, and I wore a tie every day as a reminder.

Today feels a lot like that first year. The world feels anxious and divided, and Facebook has a lot of work to do -- whether it's protecting our community from abuse and hate, defending against interference by nation states, or making sure that time spent on Facebook is time well spent.

My personal challenge for 2018 is to focus on fixing these important issues. We won't prevent all mistakes or abuse, but we currently make too many errors enforcing our policies and preventing misuse of our tools. If we're successful this year then we'll end 2018 on a much better trajectory.

This may not seem like a personal challenge on its face, but I think I'll learn more by focusing intensely on these issues than I would by doing something completely separate. These issues touch on questions of history, civics, political philosophy, media, government, and of course technology. I'm looking forward to bringing groups of experts together to discuss and help work through these topics.

For example, one of the most interesting questions in technology right now is about centralization vs decentralization. A lot of us got into technology because we believe it can be a decentralizing force that puts more power in people's hands. (The first four words of Facebook's mission have always been "give people the power".) Back in the 1990s and 2000s, most people believed technology would be a decentralizing force.

But today, many people have lost faith in that promise. With the rise of a small number of big tech companies — and governments using technology to watch their citizens — many people now believe technology only centralizes power rather than decentralizes it.

There are important counter-trends to this --like encryption and cryptocurrency -- that take power from centralized systems and put it back into people's hands. But they come with the risk of being harder to control. I'm interested to go deeper and study the positive and negative aspects of these technologies, and how best to use them in our services.

This will be a serious year of self-improvement and I'm looking forward to learning from working to fix our issues together.
