Why It Seems Like Bullies Are Everywhere—and How to Stop Them
為何看似到處都有霸凌者？要如何停止他們？

I have something to say to the guy who pulled up behind my VW Beetle recently in a jacked-up pickup truck, honked furiously while I waited for a pause in oncoming traffic to make a left turn, then followed me for blocks so close on my tail I could see the sweat on his brow while he yelled obscenities at me out the window.

📌 文章第一段描述作者在開車時遇到霸凌者的經驗，從他把車子停在作者車子的後面，開始狂按喇叭，緊貼跟隨作者的車子，還怒罵髒話。除了一些常用的片語動詞(pull up, wait for, make a left turn)外，作者也透過細節(see the sweat on his brow)說明尾隨的司機緊緊跟在後面。

People tried to push each other around before the pandemic. But lately it seems as if the bullies are taking over. Constant fear and anxiety fuel anger. The move of many of our interactions online means we are having less face-to-face communication; psychologists have long known that this decreases empathy, while anonymity—or the illusion of it—makes it easier to misbehave. And in a time of deep polarization, the tone of public discourse has grown more antagonistic.

📌 作者從個人經驗轉到大流行病後的社會現象：霸凌者看似支配我們的生活。作者解釋為什麽出現這個現象：
舉凡人與人之間，少了面對面的溝通機會，無形當中也降低了同理心(empathy)，匿名(anonymity)上網與他人互動，給彼此過多的錯覺及想像，最後也易於惹生事端。

你對德國人的印象？嚴肅？冷漠？

昨天有人問恬恬是不是德國人真的比較嚴肅,包括恬恬以前對德國人的印象就是很愛喝啤酒然後是個嚴肅的民族～直到認識Fabian後接觸了更多德國人,確實發現德國人做事態度認真有效率,如果跟台灣人相比相對真的比較嚴肅一點.......

但當然我們不能就這樣概括所有的德國人,他們有的人工作很認真但是私下也是可以玩得很瘋狂～也有那種工作與生活都是一板一眼的人～還有很熱情會跟你打招呼的人:D

舉幾個例子:

1.工作一板一眼到同事跟你共事時感到無比的壓力

2.工作非常認真有效率,也儘量不讓自己加班這樣才有更多時間陪家人或情人

3.私下玩很瘋的(Fabian):工作績效也很好但是該玩的還是要玩啊！年假絕對要出國旅行或是國定假日一定要參加活動

4.有些人很熱情會跟你打招呼或是無來由就跟隔壁不認識的聊起天來的哈哈哈

5.德國跟法國人比的話, 法國人做事像鍋牛很慢德國人像馬跑很快哈哈哈,法國人的作業員慢到還可以跟隔壁同事聊天＝＝

以上其實就跟大家以為德國人常吃豬腳的刻板印象一樣,其實德國人不是都很嚴肅的喔,看Fabian那些搞笑的照片跟簡訊就知道了~想知道德國到地美食的看這邊喔！

_________________________________________
Deutsch lernen:
Deutsche essen nur selten Schweinshaxen.
=德國人很少吃豬腳
1.Deutsch=德國人
2.essen=吃
動詞變化:
ich esse
du isst
er/sie/es isst
wir essen
ihr esst
sie/Sie essen
3.nur=only selten=seldom很少
4.das Schwein=豬 die Haze=蹄 德國很常合併好幾個單字變成一個新的詞彙！像這裡的豬腳就是由豬加蹄合併的噢！
*合併單字時,會看最後面一個單字的詞形來分陰陽性,這裡的蹄是陰性,所以豬腳是陰性喔～
btw 我有時打太長會出現錯字先說聲抱歉

What do you think of Germans? serious? indifferent?

Yesterday someone asked me if it is true that Germans are more serious than other nationalities. In the past before I met Fabian, I also thought they were very serious and liked to drink a lot of beer. Now I find that they are really hard-working and work very effectively. And compared to Taiwan, they are really a little bit more serious.

However, we cannot generalize ppl like this. They do have ppl who are perfectionist or very correct. But they have also those who have fun. They even have ppl who are too friendly :)

Let me make some examples:

1.Some ask for perfection and correctness at work. Even their colleagues feel very pressured.

2.Some are very hard-working and diligent. But they don't like to work extra hours. They prefer spending time with their family, friends and lovers.

3.Ppl who have a lot of fun. They like to travel around the world when they have vacations. When they have holidays, they like to participate in some activities.

4.Some ppl are so friendly that they will say hi or smile to you. Some can even talk to strangers who sit next to them on train or on bus.

We always think that Germans eat lots of pork knuckles. It's the same idea here. We have too many stereotypes of them :P If you are interested in German dishes, you can read my blog!
