「每日英文閱讀分享#034-你因科技而快樂嗎?」
▷文章:Robots Save Us Time — But Do They Make Us Happier?
▷總結:機器人幫我們做討人厭的雜事,大多數人都變得更快樂。但是有些人會因為機器人太人性化而覺得愧疚,或者是因為使用自動化產品被貼上「懶惰」的標籤。
▷討論:科技給我們帶來更多的快樂嗎?
文章中探討的雜事機器人,快樂與焦慮比較顯而易見,但是對於整體的科技呢?
對我來說,
=>資訊快速的取得,讓我們對任何事情都失去了耐心。
一有疑惑,立刻就要取得答案,是不是某一個層面也體現了,一有爭吵,就要告訴自己『是他不適合我,如果真正適合的人是不用付出心力磨合的』。速食愛情,是不是就是這樣出現的呢?
我們不再有耐心等待,沒辦法慢慢的觀察彼此,又或是花時間等待對方的改變或成長。
=>無時無刻都可以取得的網路,讓我們沒辦法停下來,我們缺少很多跟自己對話的時間,如果探索不到自己內心真正想要的,那又怎麼能夠找到人生的方向呢?
但我確實很喜歡科技帶來的便利,但是要怎麼不被這些便利牽著鼻子走,就是很重要的功課了。

implement意思 在 Into the Wild 流浪記 Facebook 的精選貼文
[記於香港戒嚴日常]
沒有明言是戒嚴,但實質便是了。而且更可怕。黑警隨意上巴士,地鐵各種交通工具,私人屋苑商場濫捕市民。亂打市民亂搜身。
昨日我回母校開舊生大會,門口附近有30 防暴幾架警車,老師立刻提醒大家離開時要千萬小心。眾人包括我都緊張,有舊生說等一下一起繞後路走。
這便是普通市民見到警方的反應!有警察便有暴力濫權,阻你行街一言不合便拘捕甚至毆打等各種不合理之事。擾民之極。
好離譜。大家都好驚見到情緒失控不守法濫權濫刑又無法追究投訴的黑警。
「車,你好人好姐無犯法驚咩」是不少藍絲或撐警者的一直以來的口頭禪。但兩個多月以來,幾多街坊穿校服的學生被打至頭破血流被無理拘捕。
麗晶花園居民返自己屋企都被捕。簡直荒謬。
現在香港是警暴城市,無限時宵禁戒嚴。
我們大班舊生只不過回母校聚舊開會,但警方這兩個月的胡作非為,已經令人心惶惶。是啊,我們守法怕什麼。但你跟不守法,知法犯法,濫用權力的有牌爛仔警暴講法,會有用嗎?
起初撤回逃犯修訂條例,是香港人不相信中共貪污與毫無法治。
想堅守香港的獨立法治與言論自由。
香港現在還未送中,甚至柒婆林鄭剛說撤回條例,但過去兩個月,香港的淪陷是過去二十年的總和。在香港發生的一切警方暴力,已跟中共沒甚麼兩樣。
林鄭一方面以退為進,欺騙外媒,希望攪散運動甚至美國人權法案,一方面繼續高壓打壓示威者。甚至今日的機場行動,警暴繼續恐嚇騷擾遊客。
到底黑警有什麼權力不讓市民坐巴士地鐵?以涉嫌違反什麼的罪名隨意趕人下車命令市民在公眾地方打開行李箱?
我連坐巴士去東涌的自由竟然都沒有?
對,在現在的港共政權下,香港人的確這樣的自由都沒有。坐巴士都要冒被捕的風險。
星期一台灣友人來港轉機,想出來玩一天。很感謝他在這樣的時勢下還願意花一天出來看看香港,他說維港很美他想去。
可惜現在警暴什麼荒唐無理的事都能做得出來,我怕他回不去機場接下一班機。香港戒嚴,跟很多第三世界戰地差不多,跟他說還是不要出來為妙。我沒有信心可以保證他們的安全。這是何其悲哀憤怒傷心的心情。是啊,本來維港很美。 可惜我們現在只能以淚目模糊的眼光去看,這個不知道還能維持多久的美麗海港。
另外,831 太子事件,無記者真空兩小時,雖港台說已查出三名傷者下落;但憑黑警過去所作所為,消防署口供又改來改去,唔好意思,我唔信。寧願炒車,希望手足無事。
而事件其實橫跨9月1號,港鐵應該原原本本將831 至整段封站時期的cctv都保留與公開才是!怕是已有關鍵時刻被隱藏煙滅。
而當日較早前在維園,發現疑有陀槍警員扮成示威者,甚至開真槍。其實極為嚴重危險,一定要追究。太子無故封站極可疑,疑有人以此發大來攪再蓋過所有焦點。
兩單都要繼續追。
外地的朋友們,我特意用書面語好好寫(最近好中意用廣東話寫野哈哈),希望你們明白,為什麼香港人不接受前幾天的假撤回。我們沒有贏啊。
由反送中翻起的巨浪,將潛藏已久的黑暗腐爛全揭開,環環相扣,所以是五大訴求,缺一不可!
Worse than the Martial Law: Hong Kong has become a police state, trampling of personal freedom will become a common phenomenon
Chitchat Philosophy:
"I would like to make a statement to everyone here. The consequences of police’s abuse of force may be far severe than the implementation of the martial law by the government, and would pose devastating consequences to the daily lives of Hong Kongers. But why?
When the martial law is imposed, the extreme measures/actions will taken by the police force, and the foundation of their power comes from the official announcement of the government stating that the society has fallen into a state of chaos, and hence granting more power for the police to stabilize the society. When order is restored, the power of the police would be revoked.
But what does it imply when the police display absurd level of violence without bearing any consequences even the martial law is not imposed? It means that all the actions executed by the police would set a precedent on what would be seen as “normal” and “a common phenomenon” in the future.
Up until now, Hong Kong police could unreasonably inspect, arrest and beat up citizens. They could patrol in major public traffic interchange, metro stations, outsides secondary schools to monitor students. And all of these actions could be understood as “normal” and “regular measures”.
As of today, the personal freedom of Hong Kong citizens will be seriously infringed. Because such infringement and violation of freedom are not granted under legal basis or regular procedures, it implies that Hong Kongers would have to suffer from such a “common phenomenon”. They would live under the terror of the abuse of power and violence by the police, and are unable to investigate into the situation and hold the police accountable under the current system.
Carrie Lam would not dare implement martial law because the government is unwilling to bear the consequences of such a measure, such as rocking the economy which further angers the general public. Therefore she chose to allow Hong Kong fall into anarchy, turning a blind eye and hence allowing the police to do whatever they want.
Because there are no regular procedures, the police do not have to be accountable for any legal responsibilities. Because Carrie Lam avoids the responsibility of being judged by history for her crimes under the name of the government, she has destroyed the rule of law and basis of regulations, and turned Hong Kong to a police state. The consequences of her actions are devastating."

implement意思 在 玳瑚師父 Master Dai Hu Facebook 的最佳貼文
(English writing below)
燈光玄理知多少,玳瑚師父是知曉,萬金難買的歌謠,富含發達的富苗。吾這陣子所寫的短文,宛如一首首含藏著,入世與出世,福喜旺達的歌謡。妳你若用心觀讀,生活無懮亦無愁。
勘輿師是必需要懂得,看出人及房屋的氣勢的。在超過一個成年人的,相宅歲月裡,吾赫然發覺,地,人,屋,原是息息相關的。吾也赫然發覺,貧窮孤苦的人家,她他們的屋宅裡外,都有著貧窮孤苦的,山水樹木花草,及秋天凋零之休相。有這類的休相,當然就休想,否極變泰來了。
那有化解之法嗎?學地理本來就是除後患也。當然,學藝要在精。短文的開頭吾已寫到,萬金難買的歌謡,就不知有人感興趣否?似乎沒有回音哦!不好意思,不好意思,還以爲正在做直播。怎麼搞的,堂堂玳瑚師父,怎可受外界影響。一笑。妳你若有以上之困境,那就請妳你,速速來個亮燈儀式吧!儀式過後,就永遠把妳你家宅,天天燈火通明。這是一個萬金難買的貧窮解葯,不費吹灰之力即可成辦,妳你若連這也不去行,那就是命定貧窮直到老。阿彌陀佛。

How much of the profound theory of lighting do you know? Master Dai Hu knows, and it cannot be bought even with ten thousand taels of gold, for it is the seedling to greater wealth. The short posts I have been writing recently are like songs that contain ways to achieve prosperity and happiness in your secular and transmundane aspirations. If you read them with your full attention, you will live a life free from worry and troubles.
A geomancy Master must be able to tell the external characteristics of a person and a house. In my years of Feng Shui audit experience, which is more than the age of a young adult, I shockingly discover that a person and a house are closed related. I also realise that in the external environment of the house belonging to a poor and lonely family, there will also be poor and lonesome mountains, water, flora and fauna, and withering autumn sights. With such external views, one should not dream to turn things around.
Is there any way to resolve it? We learn geography with the purpose of removing potential future trouble. Of course, there must be mastery in the first place. In the start of this post, I wrote of this song that cannot be bought with ten thousand taels. I wonder if anyone is interested? Hello? Seems like there is no response! Opps, sorry, sorry, I thought I was doing a Live. Oh dear, how can Master Dai Hu get affected by external influence? *laughs*
If you have the troubles I wrote above, then hurry do a Light-up Ceremony! After the ceremony, remember to keep your house bright with the lights on every night. This is the antidote to poverty, which is hard to buy even with 10,000 taels of gold, and it is effortless to implement. If you cannot even perform this, then you are really destined to be stricken with poverty till your old age. Amitabha.
implement意思 在 [字彙] implement,implementation - 精華區Eng-Class - 批踢踢 ... 的推薦與評價
中文翻譯是:
implement:實施,執行
implementation:實施,執行(名詞)
英文翻譯是:(from: wiktionary)
implement:
1. to bring about; to put into practice
例句: It's a good thought, but it will be a difficult thing to implement.
implementation:
1. The act of implementing something or developing the details necessary to make something work.
例句 : The concept is simple, but the implementation will be a long process.
2. The result of implementing something; a finished product, system or device.
例句 : His implementation works, but it needs some fine-tuning.
電腦文件中常出現implement和implementation這兩個字,
(記得C語言中,有一專有名詞叫implement,但已忘了代表什麼?)
一直沒有搞清楚。
The process file system, or procfs, implements a view of the system
process table inside the file system. It is normally mounted on /proc,
and is required for the complete operation of programs such as ps(1) and
w(1).
The procfs provides a two-level view of process space, unlike the previ-
ous FreeBSD 1.1 procfs implementation.
上文中來自proc的manual page,
前一個implement或許可以解釋成"使某一個事物成為可能",因為要翻成"實施"有點
不太通順。
後一個implementation則可以解釋成"已完成的某一成品,產物"
有錯請指正。
