《怎麽避免台式英文》

中文和英文這兩個語言，不論是文法，或是句子結構都差超級多。從中文直接翻譯成英文，就一定會產生聽起來很奇怪的台式英文。

舉例來說，妹妹在段考題中就看到一句寫 It made us shocked 雖然文法上是正確的，但聽起來真的很怪，完全不是母語人士會講的，比較好的用法應該是 It shocked us才對。

但假如你有學過日文或韓文就會發現，大部分的中文句子都可以直接翻過去，完全不會奇怪，像是「試試看」這樣的講法，在日文中就真的會加上「看」這個字(試して見る)

同樣的，歐洲的語系結構就都很相似！英文、德文、法文、西班牙文，只要精熟其中一個，學其他的就會輕鬆許多~

在德國的德文課，我們接觸到了語言學的一個理論：比如說，看到「氣球氣球」這個詞的時候，你腦中是不是就會浮現一顆氣球顆氣球的樣子呢？這就是語言中的核心概念。

而當我們學習一個新的語言時，我們應該要試著把單字直接連接於這個概念，而不是連於我們母語的那個詞彙。

簡單來說就是
✔️ balloon ➡ 🎈 .
❌ balloon ➡ 氣球 ➡ 🎈
.
這就是為什麼你應該改用英英字典！用英文解釋英文，可以讓你直接將單字和他的字義綁在一起 ，不間接通過中文這個一道手續。這樣，尤其在翻譯的時候，就比較不會寫出很台、讓人莫名其妙的句子了！

你的手機上有下載英漢字典嗎？有的話，拜託改成英英字典！

[ Will you please stay at home? ]

16/3
10pm Superior: we need an extra MO to Permai Hospital urgently.
17/3
7am Received call from superior
7.30am Packing luggage
8.30am Leave to Permai
10.30am Report at Permai

It's my first day reporting myself to Permai Hospital, hospital for Covid patient. And guess what, I was welcomed with the news of first death in Johor literally 5 mins after I was briefed by my team. Yes, if anyone of you are curious about the situation now. It's havoc, it's bad, it's real now.

People are being upset the lockdown of Malaysia. I know you're healthy and think is unnecessary. But on the other side of world that you don't see, we're screening hundreds of people everyday now and having hundreds of confirmed cases daily. And there's people dying, not just the old one, but the young one, leaving young children behind. As young and fit like us.
And one of the most difficult part is to do contact tracing because of the mobility of people. And right now I'm sure there's many infected people who's not diagnosed yet and keep spreading the virus to people surrounding them. Please Malaysian, we need a favour from you. The current lockdown is only 2 weeks, which is the incubation period of the virus and enough for us to identified those who's infected previously if they stop contacting other people from now. And the contact tracing (which is just the family members) will be a lot easier. Please just stay at home, yumcha at home, no more outdoor jogging, opening your shop unnecessary or religious praying together-gether. Can we just please do this for 14 days? If we can adhere to this and identified and isolate all the cases, then the chances of un-lockdown will be higher and sooner.

People have been complaining why are we not screening them when they've symptoms. If we could, we will want to screen everyone. But our manpower and resources are getting limited now that's why there's only people who fulfil the criteria will get screened (but you can always pay to screen at private). So please stay home, will you? I know you're not scare of dying, so do I. That's why here am I working as a frontliner. But my sister cried when she knew I'm going. I was shocked and I told her I'll keep myself safe. Is your love one ready for you to die as well? If not, stay home while you can. (because I can't)

I've received lots of blessings and wishes from friends who know I'm called to be a frontliner. And know what, the biggest blessings to us is to stay healthy, stay safe and stay home. We're not blaming anyone so please let's not blame anyone but be a part of this. I can't save the world, but I am doing my little part to help the situation , and if you're with me, please do your part too and show the Malaysian spirit.

It's a difficult situation, that's why we need more gratitude than grumbles.

Be grateful if you've saved enough to go through this tough time, some people don't and perhaps you can lend a hand
Be grateful if you need to rest from work, some people don't even have job
Be grateful if you're asked to self quarantine, some people are quarantine in the hospital with no one
Be grateful if you're quarantined but still fit, someone just didn't make it today
Be grateful if your family is far but still healthy and fit, some people lost their father today
Be grateful you can stay home with family and have family bonding, some people, us are out there working day in day out in the hospital.

And we're grateful Malaysian can play a part as Malaysian now.
Malaysia need you.
We need you.

16/3 10pm 上司：我们紧急需要一名医生去Permai医院。

今天第一天去了新冠肺炎的医院值班。迎接我的是柔佛第一宗死亡病例。如果你们好奇现在的状态，很糟糕，很混乱。

很多人对于封国很多意见，因为会影响日常生活，尤其是对于健康的人们，根本没有必要。可是在另一个世界的我们，每天抽取上百个样本，每天上百个肯定病例，攀升速度快得吓人。而且最糟糕的是，有病人离逝了，留下年幼的孩子们。不是老年人，是和你我一样年轻力壮的青年。
而因为人民自由的活动，让我们追踪肯定病例接触过的人 (contact tracing) 遇到了很大的阻力。而照着现在的状态，很有可能很多被感染的人还未被检验。真的，我们医护人员需要你们，请呆在家好吗？在家yumcha，不要出外运动，不要开店不需要离开家祈祷。只是两个星期，让我们能在这两星期把所有感染的病患医治，避免继续互相传染，那么封国就会尽早被取消。

有人不满我们不为所有伤风咳嗽的人抽取样本。如果可以，我们也希望可以为全部人检验，但人力与资源已经逐渐消耗了，我们真的只能为那些高风险的人抽取样本。（真的担心私人诊疗所也有抽样本服务）所以，可以呆在家两个星期吗？
真的不怕死吗？我也不怕死，所以我站在了前线。可是姐姐知道我去了就担心得哭了。真的，家人朋友们也能承受你死吗？不然，请呆在家（因为我不能）。

大家知道我去了前线，给了我很多祝福。真的很感恩很被爱。但是若每一个人都能照顾自己的健康，呆在家，对我们就是最大的祝福。我不能拯救世界，但只是履行我的责任，所以若可以，也希望每个人可以履行人民的责任，我依然相信Malaysia Boleh因为人民的力量。
这个艰难时刻让我们不要再互相责怪了。

若能够有足够的储蓄度过难关，请感恩；有些人再挣扎，或许我们还可以伸出援手
若需要暂停工作，请感恩；有些人连工作都没有
若需要自行隔离，请感恩；有些人在冷冰冰的医院隔离
若隔离的你依然健康，请感恩；有人挨不过今天离逝了
若家人虽然遥远依然健康，请感恩；有人失去了爸爸
若需要呆在家，请感恩；有人，我们，在外连日连夜的再奋斗着

马来西亚需要你们。
我们需要你们。

The other day I went into a bunch of typical American Chinese takeout restaurants as an ordinary but kinda clueless white guy and ordered food in fluent Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese, and Fuzhounese). Most American Chinese takeout restaurants like this are run by people from China’s Fujian province, so it was fun for them to hear me speak their native but fairly rare language of Fuzhounese!

It was a really fun prank and social experiment to see Chinese people’s reactions — both the waiters and the other patrons in these NYC Chinatown restaurants were totally shocked! Thanks everyone for supporting me on my language learning journey!!!

Today I went to NYC’s Flushing Chinatown to rap Ninja by Jay Chou (忍者 by 周杰倫), and totally shocked people with my Chinese rapping skills! I’m definitely not perfect but I can sing this difficult rap song at least passably and people were impressed!

Inspired by rap videos by BigDawsTv and Ollie B, this was an interesting prank / social experiment for sure! Remember to subscribe for more videos about learning Mandarin and just language learning in general!

Today me and my friend Jillian (@JJsays - 雪莲说) went out to get dim sum in Chinatown and she totally shocked the entire restaurant (literally all the waitstaff) with her perfect Mandarin! We got all the classic Guangdong / Hong Kong style dim sum style treats, like shrimp dumplings (har gow), rice noodles, pork buns (cha siu bao), and Jillian's favorite -- chicken feet!!! This is part 2 of our Chinatown series where went around Chinatown and talked with different people in Mandarin, Cantonese, and Fuzhounese. Very funny prank and social experiment!
