有意思。雙語者如何閱讀外語：

// Bilinguals regulate, or suppress, their native language when reading in a second language.

Some proficient second-language readers can actively predict the meaning of upcoming words, and even quickly adapt when their predictions are wrong, just like their monolingual peers.

Bilinguals acquire the skills to navigate the complexity of the language environment in ways that may enable them to solve basic language problems . . . Those skills go beyond resolving simple conflict between the two languages. //

假設英譯中的工作大多由中文A、英語B的譯者從事，那麼這裡所述的「抑制母語（中文）干擾」的能力，對譯者太重要了，這樣才能正確快速理解英文。不過，接著的譯文產出過程則又反過來，必須擺脫 source language interference，避免執迷於原文英文字，而要努力想像自己變爲一個只會說中文的母語者，在不害原意的前提下，替中文讀者設想，以免照搬文法、不當直譯、死譯、通篇翻譯腔。

[English follows] 受邀分享對性別平權議題的看法時，原本很掙扎，覺得身為男人的我可以少講幾句話，但後來想到性別平權應該是大家聯手爭取的目標， 而我可以提供的就是「盟友」的焦點。當天跟大家分享的是如何透過採訪來照亮女性的故事，但更有趣的是青年藝術家兆欣博士分享飾演旦角的經驗。他說「每個人嘗試從自己的優勢出發，而不是嘗試變成另一個人」。他也提到一句很有趣的話「物我兩忘」，意思是演旦角時，最高境界就是要忘記性別。

其實這也有點像我們每次出去採訪時，都會尋找自己與受訪者共同之處，把焦點放在對方身上，發揮同理心積極聆聽她的心聲一樣。也許我是男人，但當我傾聽妳的故事時，我只是一個很想聽的「人」!

I was originally apprehensive about speaking about gender equality at an event yesterday, because nobody wants/needs to be mansplained to, especially when it comes to issues related to gender. But it occurred to me that gender equality requires the efforts of all genders, and I can certainly lend my voice as an ally. I ended up speaking about how the process of an interview can empower the interviewee. But even more interesting was the speech by Chao Hsin, a talented Peking opera actor, who spoke about his experience playing women's roles. "You should work with what you have, rather than trying to become someone else," he said. He mentioned a concept which can be loosely translated as "forgetting the outside world and forgetting yourself", which is the key for men playing female roles in traditional theater.

That's actually not so far off from what I do when I'm interviewing someone. Sure, I may be a man, but when I'm immersed in an interview, I'm just a person who is curious, empathic, and seeking to bridge the gap between you and me.

Special thanks to the Garden of Hope Foundation, which does fantastic work for women in need, and to the American Institute in Taiwan and to the New Taipei City Government for holding the event and inviting me to speak. <3
