日本人が間違って使いやすい英単語
　　
　　
”和製英語” 是日本人通過組合英文單字所製作出來的，有許多片假名單詞聽起來像英語，也有許多不是來自英語而是來自其他語言。
　　
如果在英語中使用這些片假名詞語，在大多數的情況下，不是日本人將無法理解這些詞語。
簡單來說就是翻譯成英文後外國人也未必能懂喔！🤣
　　
　　　　
【日】ノートパソコン
【英】laptop、notebook
【中】筆記型電腦、筆電
　　
　　
這是和製英語中最常見的一個詞語，它的正確英文應該是「laptop」。
「lap」是「膝蓋」的意思，像把電腦放在腿上一樣。
日語中「ノートパソコン」中的「ノート」可能源自於書寫的「ノート」。
然後日語中的「ノート」卻被當作英文中的「notebook」，而「note」因為有不同的意思而無法被理解。
「デスクトップパソコン」的英文是「desktop」，為什麼只有「ノートパソコン」被製成了和製英語，真的很不可思議啊！

🌻Morgan Stanley Mid-year Investor Outlook: A tricky transition

https://www.morganstanley.com/ideas/midyear-2021-global-markets-outlook

🌻在您投資生涯中, 有沒有一些觀念讓您受用很多?
下面這位投資名人的好觀念影響我很深. 他的意思是, 一般投資人, 只要能説出三個買一家公司的理由, 就很夠了. 這也迫使我, 每次在買股票時, 問自己對這家公司的了解有多少. 也會去衡量公司的優點與缺點在哪裡.

"It is vital (重要的) that you know what you own, that if I asked you on the street why you like a certain stock, you can give me three reasons. If you don't know how they make their money, who their key clients are and what they make if, then I will tell you that you are over your head and should not own individual stocks."

全文在此:
Jim Cramer: In Times Like This, Go for the Easy Money
Look at the stocks you own. Can you tell me why you've got them? If you can't answer the following three questions, then have a look at several I like right now.

We've endured the meme stock craziness, with all of its love for heavily shorted stocks. We have watched the collapse of bitcoin to levels viewed as shocking, even if they are still more than double where they were not that long ago. We've dealt with Fed officials making it clear that they are no longer on the side of the bulls or the bears. They are on the side of job growth, but are wary of inflation. We've seen the end of the rush to get vaccines, which means that millions of people are going to get the new COVID variant, because there is no natural immunity to it. We've watched as the hopes for an infrastructure bill have collapsed. We've endured shortages of everything from chips to plastic to imported goods and labor.

And we're still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yep, we are in one of those halcyon moments, where the masks are off -- even if they shouldn't be -- and Americans are back doing what they do best: consume, spend, go out to eat and then consume and spend some more.

There are times in the stock market where the collective mindset is revealed. This is one of those times: Things are cool, it's not a big moment, there's no real news for a bit, it's the historically strong period and we can reach some conclusions about where we are.

When things are like this, it is important to remember that buyers like to revert to tried-and-true companies that thrive no matter what. These are companies that have an edge and are better at what they do than other companies.

You know that I am a great believer in index funds, that the average person doesn't have the time or the inclination to research individual stocks. It's a difficult barrier. I think you need to make time to read the quarterly report and listen to the conference call, to Google articles and, if possible, get some research about the companies you own. It is vital that you know what you own, that if I asked you on the street why you like a certain stock, you can give me three reasons. If you don't know how they make their money, who their key clients are and what they make if, then I will tell you that you are over your head and should not own individual stocks. I am reminded by this, because, once again, without a mask, I can be recognized and if I am not holding "Nvidia the Second," I can carry on a conversation.

I have had many in the last two weeks and when I have asked this litany of questions, I find myself at a loss as to why almost no one knew what they owned. But they thirsted for individual stocks, because they, like me, think things are better post pandemic. No, that's not a facetious comment. Many, many stocks did better with a stay-at-home economy. A huge number.

So what do I do? I revert to what others do when you are stumped about how to stay in touch with stocks, but want to do less homework. That means buying stocks that are accessible, not stocks like Unity (U) or Snowflake (SNOW) or Twilio (TWLO) or Okta (OKTA) .

I revert to normal businesses people know and I suggest they Google some articles, peruse the conference call, but, above all, like the company's products so you can buy more if it goes down.

Here's some that I have been telling people I like:

First is Ford (F) . I think the Ford lineup is amazing. The electric F-150 series will be incredible. I am eager to get a Maverick for my family, because it is a smaller pickup that will get the job done for the myriad little things I need to do with this farm I bought from that crazy bitcoin foray. I like the competitive edge of the CEO, who says he is going to bury Elon Musk when the Lightning comes out. I even think the Bronco is cool as all get out. Most important, though? I think the chip shortage is ending. My semiconductor friends are telling me the foundries are producing more feature-rich chips and that means Ford can pump out the trucks small business people love and need. Plus, the used car prices at last have plateaued, according to their most important pricing index. Halcyon times.

Second, Costco (COST) : The samples are coming back. Tell me you don't love the samples. You need things in bulk. You want low prices. You want to get all of the things that people don't think of with Costco, like insurance, hearing-aids -- hey, they are a fortune -- jewelry, things around the house. You go and you will buy far more than you first came for. My kind of store.

The kids love this American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) , which we just bought for my charitable trust, which you can follow along by joining the Action Alerts PLUS club. Jay Schottenstein, the CEO, came on "Mad Money" recently and it's clear that his Aerie model has real staying power: 26 consecutive quarters of double digit growth. No flash in the pan, that one. Number one brand in jeans for the 15 to 25 year old group. The best in the mall. How did I know this? I see the credit card bills.

I got up this morning to do my physical therapy. I have been doing it ever since I hurt my back in February. I have this really cool pair of sneakers that fit me perfectly and I love them, but I am fortunate enough to have a vacation house and I am always taking those shoes with me.

So I went on Amazon (AMZN) this morning and lo and behold I saw them for half price. I bought two pairs. Then I went over everything I have bought in the last year and got a bunch of those things. Then I bought a pair of binoculars, because mine were stolen. I paid half price.

Yep, Amazon's universal. I was talking to Alexa, while I was ordering, getting some new music on, asking questions. I saw that despite all of the Sturm und Drang of Amazon being late with things, all the delivery dates were within range. I didn't click on any ads, and I didn't need the speed of Web Services, but the whole thing reminded me about how special the darned company is. I don't care if it's ahead or behind plan for the moment. I would just buy some more when it goes down.

Finally, Apple (AAPL) . I think people who don't own Apple should look what they are holding at this very moment. Yes, right now. Or look at what's in your lap or on the table besides your fork. And then think about the bill you paid last night without knowing it. Think about what you bought in the App store yesterday. Think about what would happen if it would break or get stolen or, left in the Uber (UBER) , or heaven forbid, be dropped into the pool or in the, yes, toilet.

There, that's what you buy in halcyon times. Stocks of companies you know that if they go lower, because things get less halcyon, you are fine with it and buy more. If things go up, believe me, you will participate.

So accept the moment. Don't try for the hard money. Go for the easy kind. That's the best kind.

【2021 ITU WTS LEEDS賽後焦點】

上週在英國Leeds有一場ITU WTS（World Triathlon Series）賽事，三個有趣的點分享。

女子組先來，第一亮點是Lucy Charles-Barclay生涯首場的ITU初登場，讓人不禁期待，該不會有可能在2024年奧運看得到她吧？

Lucy 游泳不只如預期的能在第一集團裡，同時也是第一個上岸的，18:19，但其實也才領先1秒而已。可是她從上岸到出T1的速度實在太慢（下方影片的42:00處可看到，連在轉換區都跑太慢了），被晚個幾秒上岸的Maya Kingma, Jessica Learmonth, Sophie Coldwell三人直接在單車段組成一集團，最後這三人也依序包下了最後的前三名。

而Lucy與Flora Duffy, Taylor Spivey, Vittoria Lopes組成四人集團在單車苦苦追趕，可是到第5圈已明顯發現Lucy 有點無力，甚至一度差點被集團甩掉。其中，百慕達女戰士 Flora Duffy一直想發動攻擊，率領集團追上去，但其他三人都無法回應。

僅管最後Flora Duffy跑出了全場10km最快的也是唯一一個跑進34分內的33分47秒，還是無法彌補單車被拉開的差距，第四名作收。

Lucy最後第5位，騎與跑都還不及前四位水準，至於有沒有可能去奧運？在人才輩出的大英帝國，她得格外努力才行。

========================

男子組，有兩個話題。

第一個Alistair Brownlee被以『Ducking』美國選手Chase McQueen為由判定失格DQ。

光看『Ducking』這字意思，我只想到Duck鴨子（餓了XD），但『Ducking』也有閃避或潛入水中的意思，就像鴨子突然潛入水中的動作一樣，所以他應當是將對手埋入水中，有惡意攻擊的企圖！

再看一則報導，弟弟 Johnny Brownlee受訪時提到以下這段話，那就很明顯了，應該就是打人打過頭了，直接DQ掉，而這一DQ，也宣告了這位2012與2016奧運冠軍的Alistair Brownlee，已經確定與今年東奧無緣了！

“There are too many good swimmers and we’re not swimming fast enough. It’s not swimming, it’s #fighting, you just end up next to each other catching arms. I knew after the first lap that it wasn’t splitting up at all and it would be a big pack.

額外提一下 Richard Varga，在下方影片的 31:33處，他游錯路線，沒有在浮標右側經過，直接DQ，本來是游泳一路領先，這個小失誤直接就掰了。

從上方三個人的案例來看，ITU的賽事，處處是細節，到處有魔鬼。轉換慢了點、打人動作大了點、游泳游歪了點都會讓你付出代價，甚至直接打包回家！

========================

最後要提的就是男子組冠軍，也即將代表英國參加奧運的Alex Yee，這個人我注意到他至少三年了，一直在想他何時會成為焦點，現在時機終於成熟了。

他的姓 "Yee" 很特別，讓我想起以前NBA也有一位中國選手叫易建聯，不過當時易建聯的拼英是 "Yi" 而非 "Yee"。

加上Alex Yee感覺又有點東方臉孔的基因，讓我很想查他的身世，但幾乎遍尋不著，只知道他的父親確實有華人血統（照片3），但Alex是出生在英國倫敦，可能也不會講任何華語或亞洲語言了。不過不管怎樣，在這個幾乎都是西方白人為強勢主導的運動裡，能看到有一點點亞洲基因能與其競爭，都是讓人為之一振的消息。

Alex Yee的強項是跑步，很早以前就靠著跑步而出名。要說他中長距離有多強？ 直接拿他來跟英國傳奇Mo Farah相比就好。

Mo Farah, 3000m 7分32秒, 5000m 12分53秒（這兩紀錄都是英國最快）。
Alex Yee3000m 7分45秒, 5000m 13分26秒（這兩項紀錄都在2020年所創）。

如果要對比同是三鐵選手的話，Alistair Brownlee的5000m是14分13秒，但查無3000m正式紀錄。讓我們對比西班牙目前最強的三鐵選手 Mario Mola，3000m是8分02秒，5000m是13分41秒。這就突顯出Alex Yee至少是三鐵領域數一數二快，或根本是專項跑者的水準了，這場ITU LEEDS，他也是唯一一個最後10km跑進30分內的人。

還有一個最讓人意外的事情是他的體重，僅55kg，根本就是長跑者的身材嘛，也可說是所有三鐵選手裡最單薄的了。

惡搞一下，如果你學過統計也聽過常態分配的話，我們把這些世界頂尖的三鐵選手BMI畫一個常態分布圖的話，最右端的應該就是挪威小胖Kristian Blummenfelt（這場他也有來，第6），最左端絕對就是Alex Yee了。

還有，Alex Yee年僅23歲的新鮮度，只要無傷無痛，相信他還能再紅很多年！

【用手機看MV，效果更佳】【建議手機打直，設定為全螢幕模式】

經歷了八年，做東做西，幕後幕前都當過，什麼電視台都上過，什麼丑角都扮過......
我知道稍一不慎，極易迷失。
這條路雖然比較迂迴曲折，但只要目標清晰，那管現在做的事情不如預期
終有一天，遍體鱗傷的你會披着無比堅硬的盔甲走到終點....
然後終點會像海市蜃樓一樣，開始邊長，變得又彎又曲
終點再變成起點，人生就是這樣在循環着。

感謝每一位為了我落心落力，今後會用好音樂來回報大家。
請大家好好品嚐第一首作品。

HEY HEY 講到邊

咦 今天睇下有甚麼
邊個親了邊個 追捧邊檔街頭雜貨
真 該讚的太多
只怪得我不理功課 閒日在破浪

起身成疊笑點 連續發帖
抵死照片 揀下再登先
不知何謂滿點 隨便上鏈
堅跟瘋癲 純為搞發現

Hey Hey 講到邊
幾多美點 於短片裡會出煙
Hey Hey 沒意義
但是遊樂 現在容易也輕便
Hey Hey 講到邊
總之每天 畢竟充滿怪須知
問誰又腦筋打結 笑我了無要事
可跟你關注當相依 相依到互豎著大拇指
光纖費八十八萬八千 誇張得整區停電

吓 聽朝跟我八甚麼
邊個激了邊個 詆毀邊個反而仲惡
假 消息真夠多
不過多得給我懸疑地震盪

超速傳遞接鏈 期待發展
拿起鉸剪 打算拆花邊
點知原為笑片 其實爆點
手機燒扁 全部都應驗

Hey Hey 講到邊
幾多美點 於短片裡會出煙
Hey Hey 沒意義
但是遊樂 現在容易也輕便
Hey Hey 講到邊
總之每天 畢竟充滿怪須知
問誰又腦筋打結 笑我了無要事
可跟你關注當相依 相依到互豎著大拇指
光纖費八十八萬八千 誇張得整區停電

Ah~~ 無謂
Ah~~ 無謂無知

Hey Hey 講到邊
幾多騙子 資料出錯欠新鮮
Hey Hey 為正義
但是留念 著實毋用太黑面
Hey Hey 講到邊
總之意思 畢竟須試過先知
問誰又愛打呵欠 笑我懶人了事
可知我天線接通天 通天到在動彈著腳趾
交通費八十八萬八千 心急得跨區靈現
