母語者比較不會用英文溝通?

Wut...?

★★★★★★★★★★★★

When it comes to communicating in English with an international audience, native speakers don’t always do so well.

若要以「英語」與國際聽眾進行交流，母語者未必能與非母語者進行有效地溝通。

Sometimes, such inability to accommodate non-native speakers can lead to substantial financial losses for multinational companies.

有時，無法考量非母語者的溝通需求，可能會使跨國公司蒙受巨大的經濟損失。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

《ＮＰＲ》報導：

Picture this: A group of nonnative English speakers is in a room. There are people from Germany, Singapore, South Korea, Nigeria and France. They're having a great time speaking to each other in English, and communication is smooth.

•picture(v.) 想像，設想
•have a great time doing sth 做某事很開心
•smooth 順利的，流暢的

想像一下：一群母語非英語的人同在一個房間裡。有來自德國、新加坡、韓國、奈及利亞以及法國的人。他們開心地以英語交談，而整體的溝通也相當流暢。

ᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯ

And then an American walks into the room. The American speaks quickly, using esoteric jargon ("let's take a holistic approach") and sports idioms ("you hit it out of the park!"). And the conversation trickles to a halt.

•esoteric 極不尋常的；只有少數人（尤指內行）才懂的；限於小圈子的
•jargon 行話，行業術語
•a holistic approach 全面性的方法 ; 完整取向、全方位取向
•sports idioms 體育相關的成語，慣用語
•trickle to a halt 遂逐漸停止
•trickle 從…向下滴（或淌）

*hit/knock the ball out of the park 字面上的意思是「把球打出棒球場」，慣用語的意思則是「某事做的非常好，令人驚艷」。

結果，有個美國人走進房間。這位美國人說話很快，使用少數人才懂的的術語（「讓我們採用整全的方式」）以及與體育相關的成語（「你把球打出了公園！*」）。整場談話遂逐漸停止。

ᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯ

Decades of research shows that when a native English speaker enters a conversation among nonnative speakers, understanding goes down. Global communication specialist Heather Hansen tells us that's because the native speaker doesn't know how to do what nonnative speakers do naturally: speak in ways that are accessible to everyone, using simple words and phrases.

•communication specialist 溝通專家
•accessible 可以理解的；易懂的

數十年的研究表明，當母語為英語的人參與非母語者之間的談話時，理解力會下降。全球溝通專家 Heather Hansen 告訴我們，這是因為母語者無法自然地以非母語者的方式來溝通：以大家都能接受的方式交談——使用簡單的詞彙與片語。

ᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯ

And yet, as Hansen points out, this more accessible way of speaking is often called "bad English." There are whole industries devoted to "correcting" English that doesn't sound like it came from a native British or American speaker. …It turns out that these definitions of "good" and "bad" English may be counterproductive if our goal is to communicate as effectively as possible.

•point sth out 指出
•turn out …地發生（或發展）；結果是（尤指出乎意料的結果）
•counterproductive 産生相反效果的；産生相反作用的；事與願違的，適得其反的

惟正如 Hansen 所指出，這種所謂更容易理解的說話方式，通常被稱為「破英語」。也有行業致力於「糾正」那些聽起來不像英國或美國母語者的英語。⋯⋯事實證明，如果我們的目標是盡可能地有效交流，那麼這些對「好」英語與「壞」英語的定義可能會適得其反。

ᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯᕯ

A balance needs to be struck. There is also a clear difference between helping students improve their English in a classroom and being overly judgmental in a business meeting (or on the Internet ><).

就我個人而言，我認為在這種情況下需探求一個平衡點。在課堂上幫助他人提高英語能力，以及在國際商務會議（或網路上）中過於苛刻，這兩者顯然有極大的區別。

However, if the goal is to communicate effectively with an international audience, native speakers could be more accommodating. At least, that's the view taken by the articles below.

但以下文章認為，若母語者的目標是有效地溝通，那麼在以英語與國際聽眾交流時，母語者應表現得更加隨和。

*accommodating 樂於助人的；與人方便的；通融的

更新，後來我去找了訪問的原文，我覺得這邊其實是有爭議的。請大家閱讀測驗一下。
　
我看過之後認為，佛奇實際的意思，是說，你們這些參議員說得太扯了，美國沒有參與中國研發病毒。而他支持更多的調查。
　
但因為記者剛剛問他，你覺得病毒是自然產生的嗎？而他第一句就回：不，這就是我說過的重點。出現的時機很不好。
　
就字面上，跟就前後文意，的確有兩種解讀方式。
　
PolitiFact: That has been the subject of a lot of our fact checking on the coronavirus for the past year. And like you said, there's a lot of cloudiness around the origins of COVID-19 still. So I wanted to ask, are you still confident that it developed naturally?
　
Fauci: No, actually, that's the point that I said. And I think the real unfortunate aspect of what Sen. Paul did is he was conflating research in a collaborative way with Chinese scientists, which was, you know, you'd almost have to say, if we did not do that we would almost be irresponsible because SARS-CoV-1 clearly originated in China, and we were fortunate to escape a major pandemic. So we really had to learn a lot more about the viruses that were there, about whether or not people were getting infected with bad viruses. So in a very minor collaboration as part of a subcontract of a grant, we had a collaboration with some Chinese scientists. And what he conflated is that therefore we were involved in creating the virus which is the most ridiculous majestic leap I've ever heard of. But no, I'm not convinced about that. I think that we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we find out to the best of our ability exactly what happened. Certainly the people who've investigated say it likely was the emergence from an animal reservoir that then infected individuals, but it could have been something else. And we need to find that out. So, you know, that's the reason why I said I'm perfectly in favor of any investigation that looks into the origin of the virus.

反川陣營，把川普換掉後，漸漸地也走上了川普本來走的道路。
　
「曾再三堅決反對川普政府關於中國病毒實驗室起源論的美國國家過敏與傳染病研究院（NIAID）院長佛奇（Anthony Fauci），如今改口稱，他「不相信」病毒起源於自然。」
　
「佛奇曾經在《國家地理》雜誌2020年5月的一篇文章中聲稱，所有的證據都「強烈表明」病毒來自於自然，同時他「基於科學證據」，不接受病毒的實驗室逃逸論。
　
他的這一番講話，被當時的主流媒體解讀為對川普政府認為武漢病毒研究所與病毒來源有關的斥責。」

Can't believe this was just a few weeks ago!!!! 好難想像這個是幾個禮拜前而已！！

How to induce a baby
如何催生小寶寶

Well, just like Egan, baby Dylan didn’t want to come out and he was born after his due date. Of course, due dates are just general dates used for us to take into consideration so don’t be surprised if your baby doesn’t arrive on that day. I read somewhere that the odds of being born on your due date are less than 5%!
就像哥哥一樣，Dylan超過預產期都還沒要出來。寶寶還是住的太舒服了吧，感覺沒有要退房的意思。 不過，預產期當然只是參考用的。 聽說只有5%的寶寶是真的在預產期那天生出來，所以不要太介意或是擔心！

We tried all of the old tricks in the book to “induce naturally.” - not all at the same time, mind you. That, I don’t think is recommended by doctors.
我們不希望催生，所以有一些“撇步”可以試試看。有一些是心理作用而已，但有一些是醫生建議的。 當然我不太建議同時都試，而且這應該會有難度哈哈。

Sex 嘿咻嘿咻
Squats 深蹲
Spicy foods 吃辣
Stairs 爬樓梯
Stimulation (of the nipples) 刺激ㄋㄟ ㄋㄟ
Silliness with Egan :) (跟Egan)耍 三八

So, on the day Dylan was born, we did 5 of the 6 things on the list above (I’ll leave it up to you to guess which things) and I guess it worked!
所以， Dylan生出來的那天， 以上6項， 我們當天就試了5項（哪5項就不說了， 你們自己猜看看）然後好像真的有效果喔！

給你們參考一下囉！

Nicophotography 尼可儷影 (and more to come!!)

當時住在一個四樓公寓，室友是好客的人，於是經常會找朋友回家聚會，還學不會怎麼跟別人相處的我總是忍耐著。那是個夏天，我一個人跑到高雄的步道咖啡，隨意撈到了村上春樹《沒有色彩的多崎作與他的巡禮之年》這本書，一坐就是好幾個小時過去，看完書已是快打烊的時間，帶著多崎作回家，結果到家門前發現還停著幾台機車，索性就一個人坐附近眼科的椅子上，讓蚊子陪著我啪啪啪地把這首歌寫完。

這首歌最初的Demo版收錄於2016年的手工EP《Demo.1》，當時好多事情對我們來說都是第一次，聽混音是什麼意思？mastering是什麼意思？一轉眼，這首歌就這樣陪我們走到2020年的現在。

今年初在錄新專輯時，其實曾考慮要把多崎作從專輯中剔除，總覺得它已經太「舊」，但到最後還是選擇把這首的新版本呈現給大家。在重新配唱時，製作人Easy要我想像，這是兩個高中女生互看彼此乳房，雖然當下滿頭問號還是試著揣測，看到這裡你應該會想到一些色色的事吧？我可沒有。直到前些日子才明白意思，想著：已經老了四歲，當下怎能理解什麼是純粹呢？但我真的不懂嗎？

出了社會的多崎作也是這樣懷疑著的吧？總不相信事情能有多單純。

時間過去，很慶幸當時有把這首歌留在身邊，宣示青春永駐。

〈多崎作  Colorless Youth〉

已經被打開    包裝的商品    不能退換
The packaged commodity is open and not refundable
時間過去    風吹自然    顯露遺忘
Time passes by, wind naturally blows, revealing the forgotten

看不見    也摸不著痕跡
It’s invisible and trackless to feel
看不見    不代表沒有縫隙
It’s invisible, doesn’t mean there’s no gap

我的才華是個水瓶
My talent is a bottle,
只容許固定質量的水
contains only limited amount of water

時間像泥磚    被沙子埋葬
Time is like mud bricks, burried by sand
時間過去    和著塵蟎    堆積  裂縫  填滿
Time passes by, blended with dust, piling and filling up the cracks

看不見  也摸不著痕跡
It’s invisible and trackless to feel
看不見  不代表沒有縫隙
It’s invisible, doesn’t mean there’s no gap

我是沒有單位的物質
I am a substance without unit
追究活著的價值
Searching the worth of living
