The state of Texas is known for its long, hot summers and mild winters. That’s why the 🔖freezing weather that hit Texas last week 🔖took everyone by surprise. Normally, the jet stream keeps 🔖swirling cold air—known as the “polar vortex”—trapped in 🔖the Arctic. But last week, the jet stream 🔖dipped south, bringing 🔖frigid weather all the way south to Texas.
德州一向以漫長炎熱的夏天加上溫和的冬天聞名，這也是為什麼上週全德州陷入冰天雪地會讓大家跌破眼鏡。正常來說，高速氣流會將盤旋的冷空氣（稱極地渦旋）圍在北極圈內。然而上週，高速氣流南下，將嚴寒的天氣也帶到了德州。

The series of winter storms that swept across Texas brought snow, ice, and some of the coldest temperatures the state has ever experienced. Temperatures in Dallas, Austin and San Antonio were lower than those in Anchorage, Alaska, and snow fell all the way to the Mexican border!
一連串的冰風暴橫掃德州，帶來冰雪與該州有史以來的最低溫。德州城市達拉斯、奧斯丁與聖安東尼奧的氣溫低於阿拉斯加的安克雷奇，雪甚至一路下到墨西哥邊境！

Because storms like these are so rare here, Texans—and the state’s 🔖infrastructure—just weren’t prepared for the effects of 🔖extreme cold weather. 🔖Frozen natural gas pipes and ice on power lines caused outages that left millions without gas or electricity, and icy roads resulted in thousands of accidents.
這類的暴雪在德州相當罕見，德州人與當地的基礎建設都沒有準備好應對此極寒天氣。結凍的天然氣管線、結冰的電線桿造成大規模停電，上百萬人斷瓦斯斷電，結冰的路面也導致了數千起車禍。

Left without power to heat their homes, people resorted to extreme measures to stay warm. Some ran their cars in their garages, and others ran generators indoors, resulting in hundreds of cases of carbon monoxide poisoning. By the time temperatures started to rise again, dozens of Texans had died, mostly from road accidents, 🔖carbon monoxide poisoning and 🔖hypothermia.
斷電無法使用家中暖氣，人們只得採取極端手段保暖。有些人在自家車庫發動車子，有的在室內開發電機，造成幾百起一氧化碳中毒事件。在氣溫回升到正常溫度之前，數十名德州人死亡，多數死於車禍、一氧化碳中毒以及失溫。

So are there any special terms for weather events like this? The most common term is ✏“cold snap,” which means a sudden short period of very cold weather. Why is it called a cold snap? When you snap your fingers, the sound is sudden and short—just like a cold snap. Another term with the same meaning is ✏“cold wave.” Although “cold wave” isn’t as common as “cold snap,” the opposite term, “heat wave,” is commonly used. Another related term is ✏“cold spell,” which usually refers to a period of cold weather longer than a cold snap.
有什麼詞可以形容這樣的天氣狀況呢？最常用到的詞是「cold snap（短暫的氣溫驟降，類似中文的「霸王級寒流」）」，指突然來襲的短期極寒天氣。為什麼要用到snap（打響指）這個字？打響指的聲音既突然又短促──就像這突如其來的天氣一樣。可以用的另一個詞則是「cold wave（冷浪）」，這個字雖然沒有cold snap常見，不過它的相反詞 heat wave（熱浪）倒是很常見。最後一個詞則是「cold spell」，通常用來形容比cold snap更長的寒流。

開工日不厭世，睡前來讀 Steve Jobs 給妻子的情書
來自 Sonny老師的翻譯&教學札記 的中文翻譯
用字很簡單，讀起來卻非常有溫度
你最喜歡哪一句呢？跟我說說吧

——

We didn’t know much about each other twenty years ago.
二十年前我倆還不熟識

We were guided by our intuition; you swept me off my feet.
因著直覺彼此靠近，而妳讓我神魂顛倒

It was snowing when we got married at the Ahwahnee.
婚禮那天，阿瓦尼白雪皚皚

Years passed, kids came, good times, hard times, but never bad times.
時光荏苒，育女生兒，苦樂相倚，不離不棄

Our love and respect has endured and grown.
我倆相敬相愛，彼此忍讓，一同成長

We’ve been through so much together and here we are right back where we started 20 years ago – older and wiser – with wrinkles on our faces and hearts.
二十年來歷經種種，重訪當初相識之處，臉龐心上添了歲月刻痕

We now know many of life’s joys, sufferings, secrets and wonders and we’re still here together.
看盡了生命的喜樂、痛苦、奧秘與奇蹟，此時此刻我倆仍攜手共度

My feet have never returned to the ground.
有妳的每一天，都幸福得飄飄欲仙

今年出道 25 週年的 TRF 團長 DJ KOO，與來自馬來西亞的 C-POP 百萬金曲鬼才，Namewee 黃明志實現夢幻合作。全球爆紅曲「TOKYO BON 2020」的製作公司，株式会社 Cool Japan TV 及日本娛樂公司 Avex Management 攜手合作，安排亞洲各國合計 2,000 萬粉絲以上的人氣 YouTuber 在日本齊聚一堂，共同製作了 TRF 名曲盆舞改編版「BOY MEETS GIRL 2020」。
 
通過這次的合作，DJ KOO 與 Namewee 黃明志加入了兩人的 RAP 饒舌歌詞，實現了日語，英語，中文的多語言歌詞改編。歌曲的故事設定為，在日本流行音樂文化席捲亞洲的 90 年代，在馬來西亞聽著 J-POP 度過少年時期的 Namewee 黃明志，對 DJ KOO 訴說「少年與少女在那之後的故事並不是那麼地一帆風順」。DJ KOO 藉由引用原曲歌詞「邂逅才是人生的尋寶遊戲」，加上改編歌詞回應「一路以來受過了多少創傷，也因為這些經歷讓我們變得更堅強，更善良。讓我們一起繼續尋找人生中最寶貴的事物吧」。兩人通過這夢幻合作，對現代少年少女們發出鼓勵的訊息。
 
MV 的高潮盆舞部分，更加入了世界知名日本藝人 Piko 太郎的友情客串。此外，DJ KOO 的理念「One Asia, One World」也引起了亞洲各國人氣 YouTuber 的共鳴，齊聚一堂一同跳盆舞。舞蹈由繼承加貿百萬石文化，擁有 100 年歷史的創作日本舞蹈孝藤流傳人，孝藤右近排舞。此外，奧運會金牌選手清水宏保，avex 新人團體 callme，贊助商 Molly Fantasy 的 Lala也到場支持。
 
MV 裡也插入了首度發布此曲的舞台，在法國巴黎舉辦的 “Japan Expo 2018” 15,000  人的演唱會影像。DJ KOO 表示「面向奧運會 2020，日本將成為全世界的焦點，希望可以通過日本傳統文化盆舞，將日本的魅力告訴全世界」。

In conjunction to his 25th anniversary, TRF’s leader DJ KOO collaborated with Malaysia’ Top C-POP million hits artist Namewee.
 
The production company behind the viral hit 「TOKYO BON 2020」- Cool Japan TV - the leading influencer marketing company, gathered Asia’s Top YouTubers in this Bon dance version of TRF’s remix song「BOY MEETS GIRL 2020」together with one of the largest music entertainment companies, avex entertainment.
 
This collaboration saw DJ KOO and Namewee presenting their RAP segment with multilingual lyrics ranging from Japanese, English and Chinese. The setting of the MV goes back to the 1990s when Japanese pop music and culture craze swept through Asia. For Namewee who grew up listening to J-POP, he shared with DJ KOO on how teenage love was never that smooth-sailing. This was reflected in the song “Fateful encounter is like a life-time treasure hunt”, DJ Koo then responded with new lyrics “Life might be a journey of suffering, only to make us stronger and kinder. Let’s continue to search for what matters most.” This dream collaboration aims to deliver their words of encouragement to everyone.
 
The highlight of this bon MV goes to the guest appearance of global well-known Japanese artist  Piko Taro. Together with participation of the Asia Top YouTubers, this MV humbly resonates to DJ KOO’s vision of "One Asia, One World”. The Bon dance was choreographed by Ukon Takafuji, the heir of the Takafuji clan with over 100 years of history. More guests such as Olympic gold medalist skater Hiroyasu Shimizu, avex artist group callme and Lala from Molly Fantasy also gave their support.

The MV also includes the first concert performance of this song at Paris, France where the “Japan Expo 2018” was held and garnered interest from 15,000 audience. DJ KOO expressed “With the upcoming 2020 Olympics, Japan will be the growing center-of-attraction. We hope to bring about Japan’s culture and appeal to everyone through the traditional Japanese Bon dance.”
