【用這一招，學好連 Google、麥肯錫高階都覺得難的英語介系詞】

很多人都覺得 #英文文法中 的 #介系詞 很難，學了好久，還是覺得用不太好。原因不是你沒有語言天份、不夠努力，學習方向錯誤、語言教材過時、或更可惜的是遇到不會教學的老師。

介系詞的學習，如果一直將焦點放在「具象」的介系詞使用，
則容易讓人覺得遇到瓶頸，「一直在學重複的東西、初階的用法」。

✔︎ 介系詞 in 難學嗎？有的不難。

・in the meeting room (具象)
・in Taipei (半具象)
・in today’s presentation (語塊化)
・…is included in the email (語塊化)

語塊化、具象和半具象的表達，對我們的學習通常不造成挑戰。

✔︎ 介系詞 in 難學嗎？有的蠻難的。往往困難的，是下面這些 #抽象用法。

・sorry for the delay in sending the document to you.
・the difference in size is clear...
・the rise in sales was predicted.
・more than 3 years of experience in teaching kids

成人學習英文最快的方式，一定要用「了解學習難處」的切入點。尤其商務人士時間、精力有限，學了正確的學習方式、用了好的教材、才能事半功倍。

【NDC's Taiwan Employment Gold Card Office x Foreign Entrepreneurs】

The Taiwan Employment Gold Card Office (TEGO), supported by the National Development Council (NDC), has officially begun servicing members starting in October. Their first official event was held in November with the goal of helping entrepreneurs to develop their business in Taiwan.

The "What Resources are Available to You?” networking event was held today, Monday, November 2nd, for foreigners interested in learning more about starting a business in Taiwan. The panel included representatives from Taiwan Tech Arena (TTA), the National Development Fund’s (NDF) Angel Investment Program, Asia Silicon Valley Development Agency (ASVDA), and the Taiwan Creative Content Agency (TAICCA), all of whom introduced the resources available under their respective programs. TEGO also invited John Chen, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Hive Ventures and current Gold Card holder to share his experience starting a fund in Taiwan.

Overall, 65 participants attended this event, with 20 others who joined virtually online. After a lively panel discussion, attendees and panelists were able to network over some food and drinks. We hope that new ideas and inspirations will sprout from this event and hopefully blossom into new businesses and startups, paving the way for more foreign talents to come to Taiwan.

TEGO will be hosting more events in the future, including events that will help foreigners adapt to their new life in Taiwan and working in Taiwan. We will keep you posted!

🔥 Beijing Scraps GDP Target, a Bad Sign for World Reliant on China Growth
北京未設定GDP成長目標：對於仰賴中國的世界經濟，這是個不祥之兆

-scrap 取消、作廢，同discard
-reliant 有賴於、仰賴…的，搭配介系詞為 on

🧐 China broke with more than a quarter-century of tradition by not issuing an economic growth target for 2020, a stark acknowledgment of the challenges facing the world’s second-largest economy as it grapples with uncertainties around.

中國打破持續了近30年的傳統，沒有制定2020年的經濟成長目標，這明顯承認了這個全球第二大經濟體面臨的挑戰，眼下中國仍在努力應對新冠病毒大流行引發的不確定性。

-stark 荒涼的、嚴峻的、完全的、極端的、徹底的
✍常見用法： to be in stark contrast to sth 與某事形成鮮明對比
-acknowledgement 承認
-grapple with sth 努力應對、設法解決，意近struggle with

🚨The unusual move—it’s the first time a formal target has been omitted since the practice began in 1994—suggests Beijing’s leaders aren’t eager to unleash a large-scale stimulus after China’s sharpest contraction in four decades. It foreshadows more economic pain for a world that has become increasingly reliant on China as an engine of growth.
這是中國自1994年開始設定官方經濟成長目標以來，首次沒有提出一個數值目標。這一非同尋常的舉動表明，在中國經歷了40年來最嚴重的經濟萎縮之後，中國政府領導人並不急於推出大規模刺激措施。這預示著越發依賴中國作為成長引擎的全球經濟將面臨更多痛苦。

-omit 省略、刪除
-unleash 發動、展開
-stimulus 刺激（措施、因素），同 incentive
-foreshadow 預示

🔨China reported a 6.1% gain in gross domestic product last year—its slowest pace in nearly three decades, though within the targeted range of between 6.0% and 6.5%. The implicit acknowledgment of sharply slower growth for 2020 marks a climbdown for leader Xi Jinping during a year when he was set to proclaim the end of absolute poverty in the country and double the economy’s size from a decade earlier—political goals meant to burnish his standing ahead of next year’s centennial of the Chinese Communist Party’s founding.

去年中國國內生產總值（GDP）成長6.1%，為近30年來最低水平，但位於政府設定的成長6.0%-6.5%的目標區間內。對2020年經濟增速大幅放緩的含蓄承認，對中國國家主席習近平來說是一種退讓，他原本計畫宣佈中國在2020年消除絕對貧困，經濟規模較10年前成長一倍。這些政治目標的實現有助於在明年中國共產黨成立100週年之前提升他的地位。

gross domestic product (GDP) 國內生產總值
implicit 含蓄的、暗示的
climbdown 退讓、屈服、妥協
burnish 作動詞時有「將…擦亮」之意，同polish、brighten；作名詞時為「光亮、光澤」
centennial 一百週年

中國政府將如何應對？

❓❓多益模擬題❓:
Economists say the ____ urban jobless rate _____ many rural migrant workers who had flooded into the country’s biggest cities seeking employment but who have since returned to their home villages and thus aren’t counted in the official tally.
經濟學家稱，官方城鎮調查失業率未包括湧入中國大城市找工作而後來返鄉的大量農民工。
