#學習方法公開 #大推這兩本書
【離開美國後，我將英文在台灣學得更好】

很多人（包括朋友) 問我，離開美國後，我要怎樣讓英文繼續保持？

這個問題背後假設其實有點問題，把待台灣跟英文會退步劃上了等號。但，只要 #用對學習方法，在台灣當然也可以讓英文持續進步。沒有聽過待在加州、溫哥華的人常常回來粵語、台語進步比較多的笑話嗎？😂

前往 UPenn 念書的前同事 (口譯背景) 到了美國生活一段時間後就說：「 出國留學不等於英語好。如果沒有刻意學習，留學生的英語不會有質的進步。憑藉有效的方式，一輩子住台灣也能學好英語。 」

I second that. (我完全同意)

讓我英文在台灣持續進步的眾多方法中，閱讀描述很多「故事、經歷、感覺」的書，是非常有效的。#自傳 就算是其中一大類，因為那樣的內容比較口語，跟我們平常要講英文、寫英文時用的英文是最像的。

✔︎ 近期有兩本書我特別推薦：
1️⃣ The Ride of A Lifetime —Robert Iger (Walt Disney 前CEO自傳)
2️⃣ No Rules Rules: Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention

✔︎ 例 1: 在兩本書當中，都出現了不少次 "That got me thinking.” 這樣的魔王道地句。魔王道地句的定義就是「沒什麼難字，但台灣人就是很難用得出來的道地用法。」也許你在 TED Talk 中也聽過，但就是想不到要用它？

✔︎ 例 2: Iger 在講述很難去合理化花大錢去買 Pixar 時，他說了”There was no way we could justify spending that kind of money to…” 這邊的道地 #慣用句頭 There is no way S. can… 用來表達某一件事情的可能性很低、很困難，

🔥 這是個可以跳脫 easy, difficult 的思維的方法。

✔︎ 例 3:
我們中文很常說的「～很棒的一點就是」，對應到英文就是 Iger 很常用 The beauty of sth is… 這樣的 #慣用句頭。

在 Masterclass 裡他說了，”The beauty of Disney is a lot of the stories that we tell are evergreen in nature.”

這些都是可以輕輕鬆鬆從書中學習、「汲取」，讓我們在口說、寫作中用出來的「道地表達方式」。你不需要住在美國住了 10年，
就可以學得到。

但針對筆記的 #整理，以及「#容易忘記」一直都是大家學習上碰到最大的問題。在我的線上課程「3D 英文筆記術：打造最強說寫英語資料庫」當中，除了我會推薦你更多的書、podcasts 之外，還會教你一套「汲取」後再用 Notion 整理的八大公式分類法。

🔥 讓你/妳可以跟我ㄧ樣即便在台灣，英文也可以突飛猛進。

最近一篇發表於《自然》（Nature）期刊上的研究，認為一座古老礁體上的絲網狀結構可能是8億9000萬年前的海綿。若獲得證實，這些發現於加拿大西北部「小達爾」（Little Dal）石灰岩層的海綿化石，將比目前最早且無爭議的動物化石早了超過3億年。

無垢鳥 (改編自客語童謠〈阿啾箭〉)
White Drongo ( Adapted from a Hakka nursery rhyme "Black Drongo" )

作詞改編：徐麗雯 Sub Author : Herb Hsu
作曲改編：蔣韜 Sub Composer : Jiang Tao
演唱：邱舒 Performer : Shu Chiu

文/徐麗雯 By Herb Hsu

〈無垢鳥〉的歌詞係由《維摩詰所說經·方便品》以及客語童謠〈阿啾箭〉所發想而成。
The lyrics are inspired by “The Vimalakirti Sutra” and the Hakka nursery rhyme “Black Drongo”.

阿啾箭為大卷尾的客語稱法，是地域性很強的鳥類，昔常見於農村牛背上；維摩的梵語是清淨、無垢的意思，結合以上二者，故曲名題為〈無垢鳥〉。
A black drongo is a highly territorial bird often seen resting on the back of a cow in the countryside. “Vima” in Sanskrit language means clean and pure, which is why the song is named “White Drongo”.

〈阿啾箭〉這首童謠使用在電影《光的孩子》的劇情關鍵處，藉由不同角色的無伴奏哼唱，前後串連出生命、情感的一脈相承。〈阿啾箭〉的童謠歌詞迴環反覆、直白簡要，指出無父無母的處境、追尋的失落，剛好扣合電影的角色際遇，也與《維摩詰所說經·方便品》的核心精神相呼應。
The Hakka nursery rhyme “Black Drongo” is used in an important part of the film “The Child of Light”. Hummed by different characters without the accompaniment, it expresses how our lives and feelings are interrelated. With the rotatory and straight forward lyrics, we know how it feels when you’ve lost your parents and try to find something but in vain, which is what the protagonist of the film has been through and in accordance with the core of “The Vimalakirti Sutra”.

〈無垢鳥〉歌詞以聚沫、泡、燄、幻、夢、影、浮雲、電等喻，示明無常的諦理；而〈阿啾箭〉童謠則提供了一個生活感的基底；兩者一虛一實，精神層面和現實景況交匯共振，成為了普世無盡的扣問。
A cluster of foam, a bubble, a flame, an illusion, a dream, a shadow, a cloud and lightning in the lyrics show us how transitory life is while the nursery rhyme “Black Drongo” itself describes an ordinary daily routine. The former is unreal while the later is real. When the spirituality meets the reality, endless questions arise ubiquitously.

〈無垢鳥〉是電影《光的孩子》的片尾曲。原初的構想是希望片尾曲能有不斷往前、往前，最後隨風消散的感覺，意圖在影片結束時，以對自然的感知、經文的無常空相，延擴至更超然的識界，並帶給人飛昇、療癒的力量。
“White Drongo” is the ending song of the film “The Child of Light”. The initial conception about ending song is to deliver the feelings of going forward and fading away eventually. We expect that the ending shows the sense to nature and the impermanence of sutra expending to the unlimited ambit, and also provides people the power of inspiration and mind-curing.

中文字幕請打開CC字幕 (抱歉，我還在學中文所以有時候可能表達的不太清楚🙇‍♀️）

I recently took a solo day trip to Maokong Village in Taipei, Taiwan. It was a nice opportunity to step away from the city and to fully immerse myself in the beauty of nature.

My intention for the month of August was deep rest, and as a practice, I've been making it a priority to explore more of this island and to do things that bring me joy. There's so much more to life than just work but because we live in the society that we do, it's easy to get caught up in just trying to survive.

I hope that these silent vlogs can be a simple reminder of the little things in life~

Please let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything you'd like for me to document!
