[開光點眼]
開光點眼，簡稱開光，是道教中一個儀式。道教中認為神像在經過開光前只是雕塑物品而非神的存在，要請神進入雕塑品內需要經過開光儀式。

開光過程會依地區和道士而有所不同。一開始需要找一個德高望重的道士，然後選擇一個入座的日子；接著道士在儀式中會一邊唸咒一遍拿著寶鏡，將寶鏡照到的太陽光反射到神像上；再來將神像的軀體後背會開個洞，放入五至七種寶物後再將洞填起來。常見的寶物有金、銀、銅、鐵、錫、瑪瑙、玉石、珍珠、蜜蜂、蜈蚣、五色線等，也有地區會放入符咒或是用紅紙寫下神的起源。在最後道士使用毛筆，將白公雞的雞冠血和黑色鴨的舌頭血點上神像的五官和身軀，開啟耳、鼻、舌、身、意，統稱「六通」。

雞是陽氣和生命力的象徵，「鴨」因為發音同「壓」，所以是用來壓制煞氣，儀式用的雞鴨不能殺掉需要放生，演變至現代則多以硃砂取代。

[kāi guāng diǎn yǎn]
Kai Guang Dian Yan, the consecration ceremony is one of the many Taoist ceremonies. Taoists believe before the consecration ceremony, the statue or picture of the deity would just be the depiction without the essence of the spirit. To invite the spirit of the deity to reside in either the statue or the picture, the consecration ceremony is required.

The consecration ceremony varies depending on the location and the preforming Taoist. Generally speaking, the process of the consecration ceremony would need a virtuous and reputable Taoist to pick the specific date to present the ceremony. During the ceremony, the Taoist would recite special scripture while hold a sacred mirror. Then sun light would be reflected on the sculpture or image with the depiction of the deity. After process, if its a sculpture, the back it would have a hole opened up and inserted with five to seven different sacred objects such as: gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, agate, jade, pearl, bee, centipede and/ or five colored tread. In some instances, depending on the locale where the ceremony is being preformed, written spells or the origin of the said deity written on a piece of red paper would also be inserted into the sculpture. Lastly, the Taoist would then use a hair brush dipped in the blood from a white rooster’s crown mixed with blood from the tongue of a black duck, to annotate the five senses and the body of the sculpture. To “turn on” the ears, nose, eyes body and the thought of the deity now attached to the sculpture. This is called “Liu Tong”, to turn on all six senses.

White rooster signifies life and male vitality. While the pronunciation of duck in mandarin is similar to pressing down so it’s used to press down evil spirits.

The rooster and duck used in the ceremony can not be killed and would be released alive. Nowadays in modern society, when this ceremony is being preformed, cinnabar is used to substitute live animal blood.

【詞性】改變，重音也跟著不一樣

image
imagine
imaginative
imagination

這四個字，如果沒有特別留意，很常會用類似的發音，再根據字尾不同唸不同的字吧！其實它們的重音都不一樣，發錯的話，別人可能會誤會你真的想說的。

[時事英文] 美國阿札爾部長的「Tsai總統」發音！

Is this whole discussion really about diplomatic courtesy and English pronunciation, or is it just another ploy to attract media attention?

這些「發音的討論」是基於外交禮節、英文的發音亦或只是獲得媒體關注的手段？

Probably all three? A better way to improve public image might be to invest more in community service, connect with the constituency, and cultivate new talents.

1. diplomatic courtesy 外交禮節
2. ploy 計謀、策略、手段
3. lift public image 提升形象
4. community service 社區服務
5. constituency 選區；選區的選民
6. new talents 新秀

也許以上皆是? 提升公眾形象更好的途徑可以是透過投入社區服務、增加與選民的互動以及培養有潛力的新秀。

Focus on issues that count, not make petty arguments.

Taiwan’s response to COVID-19 has been among the most successful in the world, and that is a tribute to the open, transparent, democratic nature of Taiwan’s society and culture. Taiwan had tremendous success in detecting COVID-19, managing the outbreak, and sharing this valuable information with other nations.

Lit $: 4.0分
好的FLOW跟態度，很喜歡雙語的文字遊戲，以及過度發音的部分，很好很自然的手勢，聲音有時聽起來太單調，在傳達梗的時候用變化很好，少了強一點的台風
Nice flow and cadence. Really like the bilingual word play and the over-enunciation element. Good, natural hand gestures. Voice sounds a bit monotonous at times. Good use more dynamics when delivering punchlines. Missing a strong stage presence

Wangest: 3.5分
給台語繞舌肯定，聲音起伏跟態度很好，還有臉部表情表演很棒，肢體動作有一點僵硬，肩膀要放鬆，出現時間太少，很難全部評論完整，
Props for rapping in Taiwanese. Good vocal inflections and cadence. Also animated facial expressions were nice. Physicality seemed a bit stiff. Loosen up shoulders. Very little screen time so hard to full judge abilities.

NGB Deli: 4.5分
