【從哥大教授的 email 中學到 “enlist” 這個字】
一直以來,哥大的恩師教授的英文寫作、用字,都是我仿效的對象之一。
好幾年前了,有一次教授寫 email 給我想要請我協助宣傳紐約哥倫比亞大學教中文的學程 (TCSOL) ,裡頭寫著 “I would like to enlist your help to…”,當時我看到時覺得有趣。
因為從前我對於 enlist 的學習,都是跟當兵入伍有關係。看到 “enlist your help” 我 #猜得到意思,但我沒有就此打住,因為我對學習英文的目標一直都不只是考試,而是我要用得出來、用得好、用得道地。
我於是查詢了「搭配詞」和「英英字典」,發現 enlist one’s help / enlist the help of sb 常常用在「請~協助你做什麼」的狀況下。
以「主動字彙」而言,我可能更常用 seek your help、solicit your assistance,但因為這封 email 的關係,我 #多了一組主動字彙。
後來,因為我的大腦「#注意」到了這樣的用法,閱讀、或聽英文時他們當然就更容易 #跳出來。
例如,Adam Grant 的 Think Again 一書當中 (p. 86) 就寫了 “When I write a book, I like to enlist my own challenge network.”
我用 Notion 打造的 #3D英文筆記術 英語資料庫當中,就充滿著很多這樣豐富、扎實的學習。這樣的學習,我已經做了將近 10 年。在美國念研究所時,不只一次被美國人開玩笑的說「我覺得你的英文比我好欸。」
現在我要把 #這些方法全部分享給你,誠摯歡迎你加入我的 3D 英文筆記術課程,從此改變你的 #記憶 方式、#筆記 方式、#學習 方式!

#關心阿富汗婦女處境
#我已寫信給聯合國請求給予協助
#人道救援刻不容緩
#小小力量盡綿薄之力
蔡英文總統說:「自己不作為,只依賴別人保護,不是我們的選項」,沒錯,台灣人的團結意識、對民主人權的堅定信念,是守護台灣不可或缺的力量,也是使台灣被國際認可的原因!但是國民黨部分親中份子正在挑撥台灣和盟友的互信、影響國際對台灣的信心,令人感到憤怒。
同時,我也希望大家可以關心阿富汗女性目前處境,應該很多人已經注意到媒體報導,當塔利班佔領喀布爾後女性的生活一夕間風雲變色,不僅工作權、教育權被剝奪,甚至發生多起強娶少女,幾乎淪為娼奴的悲劇。過去塔利班對婦女的暴力歷史猶未遠矣,如今那段夢魘般的日子又成為現實!
以目前的情況來看,能幫助阿富汗女性的時間真的所剩不多,針對這點,我已經寫信給聯合國婦女地位委員會,希望聯合國能給予她們協助,雖然不知道一封信能否起什麼作用,但是我還是堅信,只要有機會能為正身處煉獄的阿富汗婦女爭取一絲絲保護她們的權利,我就得努力試試!
“Don’t accept good things from bad people.”
這是曾被塔利班槍擊的諾貝爾和平獎得主馬拉拉所說的話,看看阿富汗婦女過去爭取來的人權竟在一夕間被剝奪,就可以知道擁抱威權的後果是多麽可怕,因此台灣的民主與人權絕對不能走回頭路,台灣人也不會對威權有絲毫的妥協,我們要做的就是保持團結、堅守價值,讓自己變得更強大。
以下附上寄給聯合國的信件原文:
Dear Mr Guterres:
After the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan, an Afghan girl cried to the camera in despair and fear: “We don't count because we're from Afghanistan... No one cares about us, We'll die slowly in history” This video makes me feel distressed as a woman, and I believe anyone can feel her helplessness!
At present, the international community, including Taiwan, is very worried about the situation of women in Afghanistan! Although the Taliban spokesperson announced at the press conference that women will be treated equally. Judging from the current situation after the transfer of the Afghan regime and the record of persecution of women during the Taliban rule from 1996 to 2001, I have difficulties believing Afghanistan women will be treated equally according to their human rights.
Therefore, as a global citizen and a woman, I sincerely request the United Nations to provide humanitarian assistance to Afghan women with substantive actions, such as providing shelters, so that Afghan women could have their due human rights, and live free from the shadow of violence and abuse all the time. I look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely
Hsu Shu-Hua,Taiwan, Taipei city Councilor

Not Tonight, It’s not time to leave yet
What immeasurable power must I possess, to get to where you are?
Not Tonight, not this moment
What more must I lose, in order to have you back?
In this moment, I am certain
My heart is pounding wildly, like its bursting out of my chest
It’s not time, not tonight
I can’t leave you now, I can’t leave what I have
還不是時候,還不能離開你
該怎麼竭力狂奔才能奔向你
還不是時候,不該是此刻
還有什麼能失去才能喚回你
此刻的堅定
衝出心臟 不停竄動
還不是時候,還不具任何說服力
足以拋下世界失去你

Not resting on his laurels after the release of English track, While I Can, JJ surprises fans once again with a highly anticipated collaboration with world-renowned electronic dance producer and award winning DJ, Steve Aoki. The latest track, Not Tonight (Tomorrow Sounds Good Steve Aoki Remix), is JJ’s first foray into the EDM genre.
The song depicts one’s conflicting struggles—the difficulty in letting go of a loved one, and the difficulty in embracing one’s self. When the struggle is overwhelming and giving up seems the most obvious choice, you harness all the strength you have to softly yet firmly tell yourself, “Not Tonight”. Through JJ’s vocals and Aoki’s DJ-ing, the song showcases a stronger and brighter rhythm of electronic music, with the focus on one’s redemption on that dark night, evoking the psychedelia, sensibility, and the swing of the song.
This is JJ and Steve Aoki’s very first collaborative effort. Through the amalgamation of the Chinese culture’s sensibility and the avant-gardism of the West, the narrative illustrates a subtle yet profound contrast of beauty in both cultures. This is also demonstrated in the music video, where JJ navigates between time and space, in a quest for brotherhood, much like JJ and Steve Aoki each coming together in real life from different time zones and different parts of the world to lend their mastery to Not Tonight (Tomorrow Sounds Good Steve Aoki Remix).
繼[While I Can]之後,跳脫理所當然的思維,超越歌迷的想像,搶先釋出JJ與世界前十大DJ - Steve Aoki合作【Not Tonight】(Tomorrow Sounds Good Steve Aoki Remix)版本,這是JJ跨足EDM領域的第一步,歌曲中面對難以放下的對象與難以釋懷的自我,真實情感的不斷拉扯,還不能放棄的這夜晚,從JJ的自由低喃中解放開。並且透過Steve Aoki的DJ-ing,投入更強烈與明亮的電音節奏,能量一觸即發,救贖那個黑夜中的自我,進化整首歌曲的迷幻且感性,提煉出捉摸不定的搖擺。
[Not Tonight](Tomorrow Sounds Good Steve Aoki Remix)是JJ正式啟動【Like You Do】EP的單曲,在【Like You Do】EP中,JJ Lin回到做音樂的本質面貌說故事,當這個語言更加直覺,遇見的自己就越加真實。他遠赴異地,尋找更多不同的聲音,當沒有任何模板框架,跳脫以往的創作模式,他的音樂更加自我也更加自由。與全新的音樂夥伴合作,無論曲、詞,JJ自在地享受,完全地吸收來自不同的音樂人所給予的能量,共同激盪出不同以往的音樂風格。一切不經設定、沒有設限也沒有包袱,放下習慣的唱腔,衝撞出全新的聲音。所有面貌都是最原始最嶄新,也是翻面後的第一頁。
這是JJ與Steve Aoki首次合作,華語的感性與西洋的前衛形成微妙的衝突美感,MV中也演繹出此音樂特性,兩個截然不同的時空背景下,JJ從簡約科技感空間去實現另一個時空的兄弟情誼。在EDM曲風的英文歌中,置入充滿東方色彩的溫度,冷暖交替。JJ與Steve Aoki跨時空的面對面對峙,隨著音樂的消長,激發出震撼的能量。
