[開光點眼]
開光點眼，簡稱開光，是道教中一個儀式。道教中認為神像在經過開光前只是雕塑物品而非神的存在，要請神進入雕塑品內需要經過開光儀式。

開光過程會依地區和道士而有所不同。一開始需要找一個德高望重的道士，然後選擇一個入座的日子；接著道士在儀式中會一邊唸咒一遍拿著寶鏡，將寶鏡照到的太陽光反射到神像上；再來將神像的軀體後背會開個洞，放入五至七種寶物後再將洞填起來。常見的寶物有金、銀、銅、鐵、錫、瑪瑙、玉石、珍珠、蜜蜂、蜈蚣、五色線等，也有地區會放入符咒或是用紅紙寫下神的起源。在最後道士使用毛筆，將白公雞的雞冠血和黑色鴨的舌頭血點上神像的五官和身軀，開啟耳、鼻、舌、身、意，統稱「六通」。

雞是陽氣和生命力的象徵，「鴨」因為發音同「壓」，所以是用來壓制煞氣，儀式用的雞鴨不能殺掉需要放生，演變至現代則多以硃砂取代。

[kāi guāng diǎn yǎn]
Kai Guang Dian Yan, the consecration ceremony is one of the many Taoist ceremonies. Taoists believe before the consecration ceremony, the statue or picture of the deity would just be the depiction without the essence of the spirit. To invite the spirit of the deity to reside in either the statue or the picture, the consecration ceremony is required.

The consecration ceremony varies depending on the location and the preforming Taoist. Generally speaking, the process of the consecration ceremony would need a virtuous and reputable Taoist to pick the specific date to present the ceremony. During the ceremony, the Taoist would recite special scripture while hold a sacred mirror. Then sun light would be reflected on the sculpture or image with the depiction of the deity. After process, if its a sculpture, the back it would have a hole opened up and inserted with five to seven different sacred objects such as: gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, agate, jade, pearl, bee, centipede and/ or five colored tread. In some instances, depending on the locale where the ceremony is being preformed, written spells or the origin of the said deity written on a piece of red paper would also be inserted into the sculpture. Lastly, the Taoist would then use a hair brush dipped in the blood from a white rooster’s crown mixed with blood from the tongue of a black duck, to annotate the five senses and the body of the sculpture. To “turn on” the ears, nose, eyes body and the thought of the deity now attached to the sculpture. This is called “Liu Tong”, to turn on all six senses.

White rooster signifies life and male vitality. While the pronunciation of duck in mandarin is similar to pressing down so it’s used to press down evil spirits.

The rooster and duck used in the ceremony can not be killed and would be released alive. Nowadays in modern society, when this ceremony is being preformed, cinnabar is used to substitute live animal blood.

＃王老師的企業拜訪日記
【H&M、Gap、Champion、GU 還有 Walmart 都是「它」的客戶】

上週到了台灣最大的紡織公司之一拜訪，了解企業的英語需求。與 HR Manager 聊天過程中，得知該公司的業務很常需要跟東南亞、韓國、日本的客戶用英文溝通。

企業這樣的問題，我們也很常在半導體業聽到。開會的過程當中，常常因為彼此的發音、腔調的關係，再加上遠距會議中容易碰到的一切不確定因素，導致於「英語聽力」上遇到了很大的問題。

在這樣的狀況下，大多的人都會將英語聽力理解有困難歸因在「腔調」、「口音」唯二的要素上。但其實在過去超過 30 年的 second language listening process 的研究當中，我們可以知道下面幾項要素都可能造成聽力理解上的困難：

・對主題的熟悉度
・語速
・腔調
・資訊的重複性
・字彙
・句型結構、複雜度
・連音、消音出現頻度

而聽力的結果往往又可以分成 #通懂重點、和 #抓到細節。而聽力內容也可以以 unplanned、planned、one-way、two-way 等等的變因去分類。

聽力能力，只要用有系統的方式學習（有別於一直聽一直聽），是可以很有效率地打好起來的。就在 3/4 (四)，我在哥倫比亞大學的優秀學妹 Yana 老師將帶來一場非常精彩的聽力公開課，英文聽力苦手的你不要錯過喔！

時間：3/4 (四) 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm (7:00 pm 開始入場)
地點：台北市中山區朱崙街60號2F (MRT 南京復興站)

In the process of reporting, you need to use persuasive sentences, strengthen the tone, and some specific ways like linking words ... (the teacher will score according to this)⁣

多益這個考試很有趣，有些東西大家小時候在台灣直覺學的中文翻譯，在多益裡面從來都不測驗。例如practice（練習）這個字在多益裡面看到的話，如果想到練習，那～～可能拿不到分數喔。因為多益裡面有自己喜歡考的單字解釋跟用法，所以來＋1一起來看看吧！

影片錯誤更正：
process不管是過程或是處理的發音都是一樣的，都是重音節在P的位置，唸法都是PROcess，如果真的要唸成proCESS的話，那意思就變成『列隊前進』，是多益裡面不考的意思。
