英文寫作新專欄登場！
從這週開始訓練你 #中翻英焦點閱讀法🎯
謝謝來自澳洲的 Alex 老師犀利好文筆
快來讀讀，累積寫作功力，一起升級

前幾天 #全球串連早安新聞 香港聽友上來分享的大消息
大科技公司提出可能撤出香港！超級重大，Alex 老師就是這麼勇猛
在他的課堂要用英文討論這題目

衛報標題
Google, Facebook and other tech companies threaten to quit Hong Kong over privacy law

Alex 老師的課超有趣、燒腦、挑戰！
每週寫分析，下次上課就針對熱點議題練英文口說
讓很多自覺英文不錯的同學發現不足之處
不斷學習更精鍊的表達方式，提升、進步
我覺得非常適合英文不錯，但 #聊到深入議題容易卡住 的學習者

想要把英文從「堪稱流利」
升級到「談笑風生，什麼都能聊」
就應該到 Alex 的課練練！

好，因為我知道直接給你們看老師的全英文你們會滑掉
所以我設計了個中翻英焦點閱讀法
讓你們遊戲化，從閱讀中抓取實用 expressions
是不是用心良苦XD

來試試，以下每句引號裡的「中文」是題目
而答案就在 Alex 寫的英文中，找到學起來！
留言區就是作答欄，直接寫出來，寫錯我會挑出來～
不寫出來，自己學錯，我也檢查不到囉（汗）

開始：

「為公共利益設想」
Do corporations usually act in the interests of the public, or do they act purely to protect their profits?

「撤出香港」
That is one of the questions that should be considered in the latest threats from big tech companies to pull out of Hong Kong, and thus possibly leave China altogether.

「根據多家報紙的說法」「表面上」（提示：頗進階的副詞）
According to the accounts offered by various newspapers, an industry body known as the Asia Internet Coalition, which represents big technology companies such as Google, Apple, Twitter and Facebook, has indicated that their members will withdraw services from Hong Kong, ostensibly because they do not agree with the terms of new privacy laws being proposed there.

「此舉是為支持」「反對中國對自由的箝制」
To some commentators, it seems as though this action is being undertaken in support of a more open and free internet, and in defiance of China’s crackdown on freedoms in the territory.

「明確為了香港人民的利益」
But is this really a decision made by tech companies in the interests of the people of Hong Kong specifically, and the internet in general?

準備好作答了嗎？我在留言區等你
（選一題就好了XD）

Alex 老師這社論等級的文筆，大家應該學到很多吧！我自己也是

下週一晚上他的課程就是用這素材更深入練英文口說
如果你一直以來嚮往講英文也可以跟中文一樣靈活
就是要上這樣的課啦！
別再找家教陪你聊天了（那只是維持，不是進步。現在既然可以進步，為什麼只求維持？不進則退就是殘酷現實。）

每堂課都討論最新國際時事
學習 50 個 #進階單字
還有 #糾正發音 與 #文法錯誤
（我知道很多人想要這個！我自己就是，我懂你們。）

歡迎揪朋友一起加入！

#批判性思考練起來

【美國制裁列明中文大學】

中大山頂有個波，人稱「UC波」，入面其實係一隻衛星碟，專門接收遙感衛星數據，即係監察地球嘅衛星圖片，例如睇吓邊度有山林大火，邊度有水災之類。侵今朝簽的行政命令，有一項點名呢個研究所，停止美國內政部轄下美國地質調查局的合作。

話說我係做地圖出身的，也識得朋友以前響「UC波」返工。學術本來無邊界，卻被政治找上門，甚是唏噓。當然，我明白衛星圖片呢家嘢，好容易踩中所謂的「國家安全」，被第一個點名並不奇怪。

條文仲有提到中止學術界相當有名的 Fulbright exchange program 。

攬炒快來，大家坐穩。

//(h) suspend continued cooperation undertaken consistent with the now-expired Protocol Between the U.S. Geological Survey of the Department of the Interior of the United States of America and Institute of Space and Earth Information Science of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Concerning Scientific and Technical Cooperation in Earth Sciences (TIAS 09-1109);//

達摩樂隊可能是全球首支以歌頌佛學經文為主的金屬樂隊，以推廣佛學文化為宗旨宣揚良善本性為依歸。

樂隊成員來自台灣與加拿大，歌曲創作使用之經文以梵文為主、中文為輔，樂隊創作過程ㄧ切如法並均為歸依三寶的佛弟子。

達摩樂隊用極速的節拍表佛的悲心卻以憤怒相展現，金屬音樂的特性強化佛心願力，使聽聞者於激昂樂聲中得到全然地精神釋放！並感受音樂帶來的清涼自在與潛移默化和豁然開朗！進而頓忘人法解真空！般若現前無明滅！

新型態佛曲的演奏及創新演繹的方式，衷心期盼能深入年輕族群，為推動佛學文化之年輕化與傳承盡一份心！

Dharma is quite likely the first band in the world to combine ancient and traditional Buddhist sutras with the modern style of death metal.

The band was founded by drummer Jack Tung (Revilement, Demise, Stench of Lust) from Taiwan.
Vocalist Joe Henley (Revilement, Sledge City Slashers, Stench of Lust), from Canada, was later brought on board. Most of the lyrics are sung and screamed in the original Sanskrit, some with a mix of Mandarin Chinese.

Throughout the creative process of the band, the basic tenets of Buddhism were adhered to, with the blessing of a local Buddhist master teacher (Master Song, of Taipei), and all members have taken refuge in the Three Jewels.

Dharma utilizes blast beats and alternate picking to express the furious and dark side of Buddhist scriptures. The inherit ferocity of death metal augments the will of the scriptures to instill within the listener a sense of spiritual relief and undeniable passsion through the release of karma.

This brand new performance style of the Buddhist songs has been undertaken with the goal of spreading the Buddhist culture of Taiwan to the four corners of the world, and to instill in those a sense of peace through the exploration of the sutras in this new form.
