This video is my views and my views alone. I want to have an adult conversation that’s objective and respectful. So don’t be rude ahhh… or I’ll block you. 😂
Recently a sanitary pad company, Libresse, sparked a controversy in Malaysia with an ad featuring a limited edition design that shows batik and vulva.
It has since been taken down when a group raised an issue about decency.
I want to know what you think about this?
Do you think it’s indecent and unnecessary in our cultural context?
「微解封」的英文怎麼說？
最近有蠻多同學寫信來詢問這個問題。
📌 首先，這是ＣＤＣ對「微解封」的聲明：
網傳「三級警戒微解封的不可思議之處」指揮中心：原同住家人就不受限制，謠言邏輯誤導且比喻失當，請勿輕信轉傳，造成防疫困擾。

好，回到主題。
首先，我們知道解除疫情封鎖的英文是「lift COVID-19 restrictions」。
📌 lift (v.) 解除 （封鎖⋯⋯）
「lift」這個字有許多意思，這裡作為動詞使用，意思是：
to end a rule or law 取消、撤銷規定或法律
• The restrictions on water usage have been lifted now that the river levels are normal.
河水的水位已經恢復正常，因此用水限制被取消了。
• At last they've lifted the ban on jeans at the club.
最終他們取消了在俱樂部禁止穿牛仔褲的規定。

📌「lift」在新聞稿中，也常被用來敘述解除與疫情封鎖相關的法令與措施：
• Scotland is due to move to Covid level 0 on 19 July, with most legal restrictions lifted on 9 August.
蘇格蘭將於７月１９日降至０級警戒，絕大多數的法律限制將於８月９日解除。
• The lifting of most Covid guidance and legal restrictions in England is expected on 19 July.

關於最後提到的 Intercultural Training，如果你有興趣了解更多內容的話，以下是我擷取的一小段！
Silence!
Pauses, silence and tone of voice are all categorized under the non-verbal channels of communication. Intonation patterns carry a lot of meaning in English. In fact, this is a high-context aspect of the way English is used. Various other languages stress all syllables equally; for speakers of those languages the meaning carried by stress in English is not transparent.
Nb. Silence is understood to mean silence as used deliberately to communicating something (disagreement, for example). The length of pauses – during conversations in person but also on the phone – is tolerated differently according to cultural preferences.
