#學習方法公開 #大推這兩本書
【離開美國後,我將英文在台灣學得更好】
很多人(包括朋友) 問我,離開美國後,我要怎樣讓英文繼續保持?
這個問題背後假設其實有點問題,把待台灣跟英文會退步劃上了等號。但,只要 #用對學習方法,在台灣當然也可以讓英文持續進步。沒有聽過待在加州、溫哥華的人常常回來粵語、台語進步比較多的笑話嗎?😂
前往 UPenn 念書的前同事 (口譯背景) 到了美國生活一段時間後就說:「 出國留學不等於英語好。如果沒有刻意學習,留學生的英語不會有質的進步。憑藉有效的方式,一輩子住台灣也能學好英語。 」
I second that. (我完全同意)
讓我英文在台灣持續進步的眾多方法中,閱讀描述很多「故事、經歷、感覺」的書,是非常有效的。#自傳 就算是其中一大類,因為那樣的內容比較口語,跟我們平常要講英文、寫英文時用的英文是最像的。
✔︎ 近期有兩本書我特別推薦:
1️⃣ The Ride of A Lifetime —Robert Iger (Walt Disney 前CEO自傳)
2️⃣ No Rules Rules: Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention
✔︎ 例 1: 在兩本書當中,都出現了不少次 "That got me thinking.” 這樣的魔王道地句。魔王道地句的定義就是「沒什麼難字,但台灣人就是很難用得出來的道地用法。」也許你在 TED Talk 中也聽過,但就是想不到要用它?
✔︎ 例 2: Iger 在講述很難去合理化花大錢去買 Pixar 時,他說了”There was no way we could justify spending that kind of money to…” 這邊的道地 #慣用句頭 There is no way S. can… 用來表達某一件事情的可能性很低、很困難,
🔥 這是個可以跳脫 easy, difficult 的思維的方法。
✔︎ 例 3:
我們中文很常說的「~很棒的一點就是」,對應到英文就是 Iger 很常用 The beauty of sth is… 這樣的 #慣用句頭。
在 Masterclass 裡他說了,”The beauty of Disney is a lot of the stories that we tell are evergreen in nature.”
這些都是可以輕輕鬆鬆從書中學習、「汲取」,讓我們在口說、寫作中用出來的「道地表達方式」。你不需要住在美國住了 10年,
就可以學得到。
但針對筆記的 #整理,以及「#容易忘記」一直都是大家學習上碰到最大的問題。在我的線上課程「3D 英文筆記術:打造最強說寫英語資料庫」當中,除了我會推薦你更多的書、podcasts 之外,還會教你一套「汲取」後再用 Notion 整理的八大公式分類法。
🔥 讓你/妳可以跟我ㄧ樣即便在台灣,英文也可以突飛猛進。

second that 中文 在 立法委員林奕華 Facebook 的精選貼文
我國因莫德納疫苗無法穩定到貨,除原本優先接種疫苗名單第一至第三類人員和孕婦,仍維持間隔28天施打第二劑外,其他都宣佈推遲為間隔10至12週。雖然已是同島不同命,但現在等第二劑的民眾更是焦慮,因為到底能不能在12週內順利完成接種得到足夠的保護力,竟然也得不到政府的保證?在此提醒中央疫情指揮中心,到目前為止找得到有關莫德納疫苗施打的官方指引中,第二劑都是建議4週或6週;就算有疫苗限制,WHO也寫明間隔最長也就是12週!
有關莫德納接種第二劑應該間隔多久,美國CDC和WHO網站寫得很清楚。美國CDC認為間隔為4週,最長為6週,超過6週才接種第二劑的有效性訊息有限。WHO也是建議間隔4週,可延長至6週;若疫苗供應嚴重限制的國家,為提高第一劑的覆蓋率,可考慮將第二劑疫苗延遲至最長12週;建議遵守完整接種時間表,而且兩次接種不建議混打。
附上美國CDC和WHO相關連結和肉容:
➡️美國CDC
♦️英文版:
Moderna COVID-19 vaccine
Get your second shot 4 weeks (or 28 days) after your first.
You should get your second shot as close to the recommended 4-week interval as possible. However, your second dose may be given up to 6 weeks (42 days) after the first dose, if necessary. You should not get the second dose early. There is currently limited information on the effectiveness of receiving your second shot earlier than recommended or later than 6 weeks after the first shot.
♦️中文版:
莫德納COVID-19疫苗
請在接種第一劑後的4週(或28天)接種第二劑。
您應盡可能在建議的4週間隔內接種第二劑。但是,如有必要,第二劑可以在接種第一劑後6週(42天)接種。不應過早接種第二劑。目前,關於在建議的時間之前或第一劑接種6週之後接種第二劑的有效性訊息有限。

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/second-shot.html
➡️WHO
♦️英文版:
SAGE recommends the use of the Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine at a schedule of two doses (100 µg, 0.5 ml each) 28 days apart. If necessary, the interval between the doses may be extended to 42 days.
Studies have shown a high public health impact where the interval has been longer than that recommended by the EUL. Accordingly, countries facing a high incidence of COVID-19 combined with severe vaccine supply constraints could consider delaying the second dose up to 12 weeks in order to achieve a higher first dose coverage in high priority populations.
Compliance with the full schedule is recommended and the same product should be used for both doses.
♦️中文版:
戰略諮詢專家組推薦的莫德納mRNA-1273疫苗使用方案為,分兩次接種(每次100微克,0.5毫升),間隔28天。如有必要,接種間隔可延長至42天。
研究表明,如果間隔時間比《緊急使用清單》建議的時間長,會對公共衛生產生嚴重影響。因此,面臨COVID-19發生和疫苗供應嚴重限制的國家,可考慮將第二劑疫苗延遲至最多12週,以便在高優先人群中實現更高的第一劑覆蓋率。
建議遵守完整接種時間表,兩次接種應使用相同的產品。

轉載 @美國在台協會 AIT 貼文
📝酈英傑處長給台灣人民的道別信
「隨著我擔任美國在台協會處長的日子即將畫下句點,我也即將離開台灣,我想藉這個機會和大家分享,這一番歷練對我來說的意義是什麼。當我說擔任AIT處長其實是我這輩子的榮幸,也讓我得以實現長期職業生涯中的抱負與理想,這麼說一點也不為過。
我19歲時第一次離開家鄉,就是來台灣。對年輕的我來說,從那時起,台灣就成了交流與理解、探索與冒險的同義詞。台灣不僅有著讓人眼花撩亂的異鄉風情,也代表著意想不到的嶄新機會。我在這裡嘗試新奇的食物,像是水餃和臭豆腐,並且學習如何在擠滿單車和機車的大街小巷穿梭自如。一方面,我努力用我粗淺的中文,讓別人聽懂我說的話;但同時我也發現,無論走到哪裡,迎接我的都是滿滿的親切友善與熱情好客。
因此,在成為美國外交官後,能夠以台灣作為我派駐海外的第一站,真是再適合不過了。畢竟,是台灣首先點燃了我對亞洲、尤其是台灣的畢生興趣,也激發了我對跨文化理解和共享目標——也就是外交工作——的終身熱忱。此後,我也曾派駐其他地點,多數是在大中華區域,但我的台灣經歷與回憶始終常存我心。最終我能以美國駐台最高層級外交官的身分回來這裡,可說是我多年職涯的高峰。顯然,我這一生注定與台灣有著深刻的連結,或者也叫作「緣分」吧,才會讓我一次又一次不斷地回到台灣。
常有人問我,為什麼我這麼喜歡台灣。我總覺得:「答案不是很明顯嗎?」不過如果一定要我從個人與專業的角度,解釋我對台灣的喜愛與敬佩之情,我通常會提到以下幾個領域:
首先,台灣兼具活力與穩定、進步與延承、還有創新與傳統。每次回到這裡,我都對台灣社會在各個方面日新月異的進步感到驚艷不已。台灣的民主更臻成熟,經濟益加蓬勃,環境保護更受關注,藝術文化發展也生生不息。
台灣在許多最先進的科技產業上持續為全球創新樹立標竿,但與此同時,台灣的社會穩定和文化傳承依舊令人欽羨佩服。儘管生活充裕且形象良好,台灣人民卻依然謙虛樸實、平易近人。在台灣,最古老的傳統薪火相傳、歷久彌新。文化和歷史古蹟受到妥善的修復與保護;年輕人也可以學習代代相傳的書法技巧,接著再把作品秀在Instagram上。
再者,對美國來說,台灣正是共享利益與共享價值交集的典範。美台夥伴關係的重點在於確保科技發展能夠嘉惠、而非傷害我們雙方的經濟,科技突破則應被用於鞏固、而不是破壞我們的原則。美台之間自由、多元、平等及透明等共享價值,時時激勵我們努力在世界各地打造民主社會的韌性。而我們也持續尋求新的方式,為解決全球問題做出貢獻,這麼做不僅是因為能夠造福我們自己的人民,也是因為我們相信,身為21世紀敦親睦鄰的好夥伴,就是該這麼做。
最後,每當我想到台灣、以及整體美台關係,我總會想到希望、光明和成長。美台的情誼在過去40年來不斷拓展與茁壯。我相信每任處長都會同意,他們離開台灣時的美台夥伴關係,比起他們剛上任時都更上一層樓。同樣的,當我向AIT告別的那一天,我的心中將充滿肯定與成就感,因為我知道,美台夥伴關係比以往都更加深刻和強健,我也對自己能為美台關係今天亮眼的進展小有貢獻,而深感驕傲。
但是,比起這些事情,我想我更難忘的是台灣在我生命中所留下的深刻印記。我永遠會記得我在台灣度過的第一個聖誕節,還有第一個農曆新年。我永遠會記得台灣朋友的真摯與溫暖、教會同伴堅定的信仰、炎炎夏日來一碗芒果冰的沁涼、資源回收車沿街播放《給愛麗絲》的回音,還有巷弄中撲鼻而來的茉莉花香,這些都會是我畢生珍藏的美好回憶之一。我也會記得好友間的餐聚、充滿歡笑和故事的夜晚、以及一路以來我受到過的無數的善意與關懷。我更會永遠記得,是各位台灣朋友們,你們以各種不同的方式,讓我和我家人的生命更加地豐盛美好。對此,我要衷心地謝謝大家。
雖然我將離開台灣,但台灣不會離開我。」

📝A Farewell Letter from AIT Director W. Brent Christensen
"As my time as AIT Director draws to a close and I prepare to leave Taiwan, I want to take this opportunity to tell you what this experience has meant to me. It is not an exaggeration to say that this has been the honor of my life and the fulfillment of a career-long aspiration.
The first time I left my hometown at age 19, it was to come to Taiwan. From that early age, Taiwan became synonymous for me with the ideas of exchange and understanding, exploration and adventure. Taiwan represented both disorienting foreignness and unexpected opportunity, as I tried new food – like shuijiaos and qiu doufu – and learned to navigate my way through streets crowded with bicycles and scooters. And struggled to make myself understood with my rudimentary Mandarin. But all the while discovering the kindness and generosity that welcomed me wherever I went.
It felt appropriate for me to serve my first tour as a U.S. diplomat in the place that first sparked in me a lifelong interest in Asia – and in Taiwan in particular – and in cross-cultural understanding and shared purpose, or in other words, diplomacy. After that, my career took me to other places, but mostly still in the China region. But the memories of my experiences in Taiwan stayed with me. And finally having the opportunity to serve as the top U.S. diplomat to Taiwan was the culmination of all the years that came before. It is clear that I have a lifelong connection to Taiwan, or “yuanfen,” that has led me to return again and again.
People often ask me why I have such a fondness for Taiwan. “Isn’t it obvious?!” I always think. But when forced to explain my affection for and professional fascination with Taiwan, I usually come back to a few themes.
First, dynamism and constancy; progress and preservation; innovation and tradition. Every time I return to Taiwan, I am immediately struck by the many ways Taiwan has advanced as a society. Taiwan’s democracy grows more mature, its economy more prosperous, its environment more cared-for, and its arts and culture more vibrant.
Taiwan’s industry continues to set the benchmark for global innovation in some of the most sophisticated technologies, but at the same time, Taiwan society is remarkable for its stability and cultural continuity. Taiwan’s people, despite their relative wealth and stature, continue to be modest and unassuming. Taiwan’s most ancient traditions are alive and well. Cultural and historic sites are restored and preserved. Young people may learn calligraphy techniques handed down for generations, but then share their work on Instagram.
Second, for the United States, Taiwan exemplifies the intersection of shared interests and shared values. Our partnership is about making sure our economies are beneficiaries rather than casualties of technological development and ensuring that technological development advances rather than undermines our principles. Our shared values of freedom, diversity, equality, and transparency inspire our efforts to build the resilience of democracies around the world. And we continue to find new ways to contribute to global problem solving, both because it benefits our own peoples and because we share the belief that this is what it means to be a good neighbor in the 21st century.
Finally, I associate Taiwan – and the broader U.S.-Taiwan relationship – with hope, promise, and growth. This friendship has expanded and flourished over the past 40 years; I believe every person who has done this job walked away knowing they left this partnership better than they found it. I will similarly leave AIT with a sense of accomplishment and success, knowing that the U.S.-Taiwan partnership is deeper and stronger than ever, and feeling immensely proud of my small role in getting us there.
But more than any of these things, I will remember the ways that Taiwan has touched me personally. I will always remember my first Christmas in Taiwan – and my first Chinese New Year. I will remember the warmth of Taiwan friendship, the faith of my fellow church members, the taste of a mango bing on a hot summer day, the echo of “Fur Elise” from the recycling truck, the fragrance of jasmine blossoms in village alleyways – these are just some of the memories I will treasure. I will remember the long dinners with dear friends, full of laughter and stories. And I will remember their many kindnesses. I will remember all the ways big and small that you, the people of Taiwan, touched my life and the lives of my family. And for that, I thank you.
I may be leaving Taiwan, but Taiwan will never leave me. "
-- AIT Director William Brent Christensen
