【乾，我講英文有夠乾】: 看完「魷魚遊戲」只講得出 It’s great. 嗎？

大家也看了魷魚遊戲了嗎？很多紐約的 #美國朋友 跟我說
・It’s way better than the Hunger Games.
・I binged the whole 9 episodes (一次追了九集).
・It’s graphically brutal. (超級血腥殘忍)
・Totes worth a watch. (Totes 是 totally 的口語寫法)

但當我問問身邊的人會怎樣用英文聊這部劇時，台灣人的對這部影集的描述常常是：

・It’s really good.
・I liked it!
・You should watch it.
・I highly recommend it.

當然，這 4 句話在語意上、用法上沒有問題。但如果你想要用得更 #道地、#到位，請繼續讀下去。

1️⃣ 傳統無啥用的 solution:

面臨這樣的問題，傳統上不少英文老師會建議你去查閱同義字字典，去 #升級自己會的形容詞。但，其實不斷用 It’s adj. 的方式
或去升級 “like” 這個動詞，調成 I enjoyed watching it. 只是繼續圍繞在相似的想法裡頭，英文還是 #沒有質的變化。�

2️⃣ 從「#思維模板」、母語人士的「#說話習慣」下手：

其實不管是魷魚遊戲、還是 The Hunger Games、還是其他相似種類 (genre) 的電影，英美國人會講述的方式「大同小異」，並 #不會因人而異。這樣的好處就是我們有個範圍可以學習這些「思維模板」。不只是一兩個字的片語、搭配詞，而是整體「表達的方向」。

例如：

✔︎ 在表達從第一集就ㄉㄧㄠˊ住時，你可以說：�
I was hooked from the first episode.
It had me hooked from the start.

✔︎ 在表達很棒時，他們不會只說 It’s great. 他們會說
It's hands down one of the best series I’ve seen on Netflix.
One of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time.

✔︎ 其他正向表述、讚揚的講法還包含：
It’s worth a watch for sure! (值得一看)
It has set a high bar for other movies of this genre. (把標準提得很高)
It has definitely lived up to the hype! （真的如大家所說般地好 ）

之所以為思維模板，就是母語人士ㄧ要描述電影觀後感時，
#幾乎都會馬上想到這些用法。我們不應該再走「中文想這樣講 — > 翻成英文」這樣的路。

記得，英文要學好不是要變成「逐字翻譯大師」。要從慣用思維、表達習慣下手。

@inglot_cosmetics freedom system palette
Eyeshadows in the shades 285 283 281
Blush in the shade 126

The palette I use for my last eyelook post!
I love this palette so much! From packaging to the product itself, wow’s me🤩🤩! It has magnets in it. Instead of flipping the case up and down, twist it to open! There’s large amounts of product in it that I think I can never use it up🤣 It’s easy to blend and has great color payoff, and the shades are stunning!!!! You get to choose any shade to fit in the palette, but I highly recommend these eyeshadow shades 💯! The blush is a bit too pigmented so has to be more careful while applying it, but still a pretty rosy shade 🥰

Short story time:
As you can see in the pictures, I had my old account name on🤣 These shots has been shot for awhile, but because I don’t have magnets in my house, I can’t tell what shades are them. And now I finally got to know 😂 That’s why it took me so long to have this post!

Have you tried any of their products before?
Let me know in the comments below:)

Wish you all a lovely day!☺️

今天來介紹前一篇眼妝使用的 #inglot 自組盤！
有3顆單顆眼影 285 283 281
和1個腮紅 126

這盤從外包裝到產品本身都超喜歡💕是磁吸式的開關，用旋轉的方式打開～磨砂的蓋子搭配品牌logo的排列，簡單又好看🥰眼影跟腮紅都超大一顆，感覺完全用不完😂這是自組盤所以眼影跟腮紅的顏色都是可以自選的唷～粉質很細膩、顯色、好沾取也好暈染！顏色都很美～要比較的話腮紅還是容易失手一些！眼影可以更無腦的使用～喜歡這個色系的話真的很推薦！秋天楓葉紅～愛了愛了！

小故事時間：
從照片上的浮水印可以看出來是帳號名稱還在d.a._eye_makeup的時候拍的照片🤣至於為什麼會拖了這麼久才發呢～是因為我家沒磁鐵🧲！🤣🤣因為單顆眼影也是用磁吸的吸在盤裡，所以沒有磁鐵的話拿不出來沒辦法看色號🤣但那麼漂亮的顏色就是要跟你們說是哪些顏色！對吧！大家可以原諒我過了這麼久才發的吧😉

你們有用過inglot的彩妝嗎？
歡迎在留言區和我分享❤️

祝大家有美好的一天～～💕

張忠謀對半導體供應鏈在地化的致詞引起矚目，我將全文的翻譯，分享給大家：

張忠謀APEC非正式領袖會議致詞全文：（中文在後）

This Informal Retreat has been called to discuss how Asia-Pacific can collaborate to move through the COVID health crisis, and to accelerate the post-COVID economic recovery. Chinese Taipei will address these two topics specifically.
On COVID-19, Chinese Taipei has had an excellent record so far. With a population of 23 million, over the last year and half, and in spite of a recent surge which has now abated, we have had a total of about fifteen thousand infected cases (.07% of the population), and 763 deaths (3 out of one hundred thousand).
We believe that our experience and know-how gained can help other APEC members. We have been, and continue to be willing to help. We have donated masks and other medical supplies to other APEC members in the past and are ready and willing to share our anti-COVID-19 know-how with you.
At the same time, WE NEED HELP! Our vaccination coverage at present is less than 20%. Although the U.S. and Japan have been generous in donating vaccines to us, and our private institutions have succeeded in procuring ten million doses of vaccines, we still need more vaccines, and need them sooner! Most other APEC members need help as well. We must ask for help from the APEC members that possess and produce more vaccines than they themselves need.
On re-vitalizing Post-COVID economy, Chinese Taipei urges free trade among APEC members and in the world, after giving consideration to vital national security needs.
In the past seven decades, free trade has enabled vibrant growth in most APEC economies. Free trade is merely a way in which each APEC economy contributes its own competitive advantage and every APEC member benefits.
Recently, however, we note with concern the tendency to want self-sufficiency or “on-shoring” of semiconductor chips. We must point out that in the past many decades free trade has greatly helped the advance of semiconductor technology. In turn, the ever greater complexity of the technology has caused the supply chain to go “off-shore”.
It would be highly impractical to try to turn back the clock. If it is tried, cost will go up and technology advance may slow. What may happen is that after hundreds of billions and many years have been spent, the result will still be a not-quite-self-sufficient, and high-cost supply chain.
We do recognize national security concerns, and believe that for security applications, a self-sufficient supply chain within one’s own borders is prudent. However, for the much larger civilian market, a supply chain substantially based on free trade system is by far the best approach.
In summary, on COVID-19, Chinese Taipei can help, is ready and willing to help with its know-how, but also needs more vaccines sooner, along with many other APEC members. On Post-COVID economic re-vitalization, Chinese Taipei urges free trade, after giving consideration to vital national security concerns.

（中文翻譯）

此次非正式領袖會議召開的目的是討論亞太地區應如何合作以度過新型冠狀病毒（COVID-19）疫情危機，並加速疫後經濟復甦。中華台北將就這兩個議題表達看法。
面對新型冠狀病毒（COVID-19）疫情，中華台北迄今維持傑出防疫紀錄。我們有兩千三百萬人口，儘管近期疫情曾一度升溫，但目前業已趨緩，在過去超過一年半的時間中，總確診病例數約為一萬五千例（佔總人口0.07%），其中死亡病例數為763例（約為十萬分之三）。
相信我們在過程中得到的經驗與知識能夠協助其他APEC成員。我們持續地願意提供協助。過去我們曾捐贈口罩與其他醫療物資予其他APEC成員，現在也準備好與你們分享我們抗疫的知識。
同時，我們也需要幫助！目前我們的疫苗注射覆蓋率低於20%。雖然美國與日本已慷慨捐贈疫苗，我們的民間機構也已成功採購一千萬劑，我們仍然需要更多數量的疫苗，而且需要儘快取得！其他多數的APEC成員也需要幫助。我們需要向目前擁有並生產超過他們自身所需疫苗數量的APEC成員尋求協助。
針對疫後經濟復甦，中華台北敦促APEC成員，在考慮重要國家安全需求後，彼此間及與全球進行自由貿易。
在過去70年，自由貿易使多數APEC經濟體蓬勃發展。自由貿易僅是各APEC經濟體貢獻自己的競爭優勢，而其他APEC成員藉此受惠的方法。
然而近來，我們很關切要求「境內」半導體晶片自給自足的趨勢。我們必需指出，過去數十年的自由貿易大幅促進半導體技術發展。因此，越趨複雜的技術致使供應鏈走向「境外」。
試圖讓時光倒流是相當不切實際的，如果嘗試讓時光倒流，不僅成本將會提升以及技術的進步可能放緩。在花費了數千億與許多年的時間之後，結果仍將是無法充分自給自足且成本很高的供應鏈。
我們認同國家安全的顧慮確實存在，也相信針對國安應用，在國境內存有一個能夠自給自足的供應鏈是審慎的作法。然而，針對規模大得許多的民間市場，一個基於自由貿易體系的供應鏈是最好的作法。
總結來說，針對新型冠狀病毒（COVID-19）疫情，中華台北能夠協助，我們也願意、並準備好以自身的知識與經驗提供協助，但也和其他許多APEC成員一樣，需要儘快取得更多疫苗。關於疫後經濟復甦，中華台北敦促在考慮關鍵國家安全需求後，應該採取自由貿易。

無垢鳥 (改編自客語童謠〈阿啾箭〉)
White Drongo ( Adapted from a Hakka nursery rhyme "Black Drongo" )

作詞改編：徐麗雯 Sub Author : Herb Hsu
作曲改編：蔣韜 Sub Composer : Jiang Tao
演唱：邱舒 Performer : Shu Chiu

文/徐麗雯 By Herb Hsu

〈無垢鳥〉的歌詞係由《維摩詰所說經·方便品》以及客語童謠〈阿啾箭〉所發想而成。
The lyrics are inspired by “The Vimalakirti Sutra” and the Hakka nursery rhyme “Black Drongo”.

阿啾箭為大卷尾的客語稱法，是地域性很強的鳥類，昔常見於農村牛背上；維摩的梵語是清淨、無垢的意思，結合以上二者，故曲名題為〈無垢鳥〉。
A black drongo is a highly territorial bird often seen resting on the back of a cow in the countryside. “Vima” in Sanskrit language means clean and pure, which is why the song is named “White Drongo”.

〈阿啾箭〉這首童謠使用在電影《光的孩子》的劇情關鍵處，藉由不同角色的無伴奏哼唱，前後串連出生命、情感的一脈相承。〈阿啾箭〉的童謠歌詞迴環反覆、直白簡要，指出無父無母的處境、追尋的失落，剛好扣合電影的角色際遇，也與《維摩詰所說經·方便品》的核心精神相呼應。
The Hakka nursery rhyme “Black Drongo” is used in an important part of the film “The Child of Light”. Hummed by different characters without the accompaniment, it expresses how our lives and feelings are interrelated. With the rotatory and straight forward lyrics, we know how it feels when you’ve lost your parents and try to find something but in vain, which is what the protagonist of the film has been through and in accordance with the core of “The Vimalakirti Sutra”.

〈無垢鳥〉歌詞以聚沫、泡、燄、幻、夢、影、浮雲、電等喻，示明無常的諦理；而〈阿啾箭〉童謠則提供了一個生活感的基底；兩者一虛一實，精神層面和現實景況交匯共振，成為了普世無盡的扣問。
A cluster of foam, a bubble, a flame, an illusion, a dream, a shadow, a cloud and lightning in the lyrics show us how transitory life is while the nursery rhyme “Black Drongo” itself describes an ordinary daily routine. The former is unreal while the later is real. When the spirituality meets the reality, endless questions arise ubiquitously.

〈無垢鳥〉是電影《光的孩子》的片尾曲。原初的構想是希望片尾曲能有不斷往前、往前，最後隨風消散的感覺，意圖在影片結束時，以對自然的感知、經文的無常空相，延擴至更超然的識界，並帶給人飛昇、療癒的力量。
“White Drongo” is the ending song of the film “The Child of Light”. The initial conception about ending song is to deliver the feelings of going forward and fading away eventually. We expect that the ending shows the sense to nature and the impermanence of sutra expending to the unlimited ambit, and also provides people the power of inspiration and mind-curing.
