全美瘋⚾棒球:Baseball Idioms 棒球用語第一彈!
🇺🇸 棒球可說是美國全民運動,因此美式英文中有許多跟棒球相關的諺語,今天就先來認識一些:
1. hit a home run
2. step up to the plate
3. strike out
--
Developed in New England in the mid-1800s, baseball had become America’s national sport by the end of the century. Even today, the sport is known as “America’s pastime,” so it’s no wonder that there are many baseball-related idioms in American English.
What’s the biggest achievement for a baseball player? Hitting a home run, of course. So📍 “hit a home run” has also become an idiom meaning “to succeed at sth.” Ex: I think I really hit a home run on my English test.
When batters step up to the plate, it’s their responsibility to try and score, so 📍 “step up to the plate” can also mean “to take responsibility for doing sth.” Ex: After Bob quit, Allan stepped up to the plate and led the project.
The worst thing a batter can do when he steps up to the plate is strike out by missing the ball three times, ending his turn at bat. And so 📍 “strike out” has also come to mean “to fail at sth." Ex: The original movie was popular, but the sequel struck out with audiences.
【📕中譯】
棒球發展於18世紀中葉的新英格蘭,在18世紀末成為風靡全美的國民運動。即使到了現在,一談到美國人的消遣活動,就會想到棒球。也難怪美式英文中出現這麼多與棒球相關的諺語。
對棒球選手來說,最大的成就是什麼?自然是打出全壘打。因此📍hit a home run(打出全壘打)一詞也可以指『成功達成某事』,如I think I really hit a home run on my English test.(我想我真的高分通過英文考試了。)
打擊手一站上本壘,就要盡力衝回本壘得分,所以📍step up to the plate(踏上本壘)也可指『承擔起做某事的責任』,如After Bob quit, Allan stepped up to the plate and led the project.(鮑伯辭職之後,就由艾倫負責領導該專案。)
對打擊手來說,最糟糕的就是站上壘包卻被三振出局。所以📍strike out(三振出局)也指『失敗、砸鍋』,如 The original movie was popular, but the sequel struck out with audiences.(該電影第一集相當賣座,可續集卻被觀眾罵慘了。)
【✍關鍵單字】
1. New England:「新英格蘭地區」,位於美國東北角,包括美國東北角六州在內,Boston是其中最大城市。
2. pastime:「消遣、娛樂」
3. batter:「打擊手」, bat 指「球棒」。
4. the plate:step up to the plate 的 plate指「本壘板」,即 home plate。

【業力的黑洞】THE BLACK HOLE OF KARMA
(一)
「我不是叫你帶筆記本嗎?」
我看著男客人擺在桌上的那僅僅一張A4紙。
男客人不好意思地說:「我忘了。這是跟櫃台取的。」
「我千里迢迢來到這裡,因為你說你要改命。你就拿這樣一張借來的紙,來改命?一個半小時的看八字,夠你寫嗎?還是你不夠寫時,又要浪費我的時間去借紙?你的認真在哪裡?」
我雙眼直視著男客人的眼睛。
他連忙站起來,去借了多幾張A4紙。
•
(二)
「你怎麼帶那麼小的本子?夠寫嗎?」
我不可思議的看著,那如信用卡一般大的記事本。
男客人答:「可以啦!我只寫重點!」
「你這個是懶。我的每一句話都是重點。你的八字在我手上,你是怎樣的人,你不要以為我不知道。你不要跟我瞎掰,更不要有寫沒寫的,然後事後又發私訊重覆性的問回我一樣的問題,因為你沒有用心思寫下來。樓上有書店,要嘛你現在去買,我給你十五分鐘,要嘛我們今天就不看你的八字。你自己選。」
男客人十分鐘內,買了A4本子。

我為即將結婚的男客人看新家風水。
他來過我的風水講座數次,閱讀我臉書也有兩年多時間,應該很熟悉我的性格。事前,我提醒過他兩次要帶筆記本,兩次兩次他都跟我說謝謝提醒。
站在客廳看風水時,他抽出那張A4的屋子平面圖,壓在手掌心寫。
「我不是已經叫你帶筆記本嗎?」
他笑笑不語,沒有解釋,沒有道歉。
新家風水那麼重要,關係到你和你家人未來至少五年的興旺,你就在這一張軟綿綿的紙上寫兩個小時的筆記嗎?
以我對客人的要求,我本會叫他到外頭買筆記本,我們才繼續看風水。
但那天,現任屋主還住在那個單位,是特別約好時間讓我們進去看風水,對方也在等著我們完事後就要出門。
想想他過去兩年來常在我臉書貼文按讚,就給他一點面子,讓他在女朋友面前好下台,也算是報答他的支持。
於是,我看在眼裡,記在心裡。依我的經驗,沒把筆記寫好的,必會再來問我。
幾天後,他來訊詢問。當中有幾個問題,我當天已解說過。
我回他:「我雖不介意回答已經回答過的問題,但如果你那一天有帶筆記本,你必會抄下來。」
也就不用再問。
我也寫道:「我對你有點失望。」
他回我:「我明白也注意到你的失望。以後會更留意自己的念頭和舉止。」
「你應該跟我道歉。你忽視我的善意提醒本就不對。」
也猶如騙了我。如果你當初不想帶,直說,不要以假謝謝敷衍。
男客人過後道歉,也大方的同意我把這件事情寫出來,警惕大家。
如果你的未來註定會坎坷,無論是婚姻、事業、家庭或財富,你要比任何人都更注意你的一舉一動。
因為你細小的念頭,細微的決定,會一步一步引你掉入你命中註定的歹運。
你會漏掉寫下我千交代萬交代的事情。
你會寫錯、聽錯、記錯、做錯。
你身邊的人會影響你,告訴你不要聽我或任何能幫你改命的話,你如何如何讓她他不開心不舒服。
你會有錢也不要出錢,只是一直想博取我的同情,得到免費的幫助,然後稱說自己沒有錢。
你會任性,你會執著,你會覺得風水命理沒那麼厲害,你自己說了算,雖然你根本不怎麼樣。
因為你已變成一個弦线上的小木偶,被你那無情的業力操控著。
我的嚴厲,是要及時拉你一把,不要「青青菜菜」的過活,不要拖累你的家人和你一起遭業報。
不是每個人跌倒後,都能夠爬得起來。
誰不想做好人,讓每個人都喜歡自己?但自古,慈母多敗兒。
在現今社會裡,男人女人的自信,都是來自於事業,但每個人的幸福,都是源自於家庭。
所以千萬千萬不要自私。

“Didn't I tell you to bring a notebook?"
I looked at the lonely piece of A4 paper the male client placed on the table.
Slightly embarrassed, the male client said, "I forgot. This was obtained from the counter."
"I come all the way here because you tell me you want to change your destiny. You bring this kind of paper to change your life? My consultation is 1.5 hour and you think it's enough for you to write? Or when you run out of space, are you going to waste my time to go and borrow paper? Where is your seriousness?"
I looked at the male client straight in the eyes.
He hurriedly stood up and borrowed a few more pieces of A4 paper.

"Why did you bring such a small notebook? How is it enough for you to write?"
I looked at the credit-card-sized notebook incredulously.
The male client replied, "Can! I only write the important points!"
"This is your sloth. Everything I said is important. Your Bazi is in my hands. Don't think that I do not know what kind of person you are. Don't talk nonsense to me. Don't write selectively and then later send me PMs asking me the same questions that I have answered in this consultation, just because you didn't put in effort to jot it down. There is a bookshop upstairs. Either you go and buy now. I will give you 15 minutes. Or we will cancel today's consultation. You decide."
The male client returned with a brand new A4 notebook in ten minutes.

I was doing a Feng Shui audit for a male client who was getting married.
He came to my Feng Shui workshops a few times and have read my Facebook for over 2 years. Prior to the audit, I reminded him twice to bring a notebook and twice, he thanked me for my reminders.
While standing in the living room doing the Feng Shui audit, he drew out a A4-sized floorplan and wrote on it, with his palm as the backing.
"Didn't I already tell you to bring a notebook?"
He smiled back at me. No explanation. No apology.
The Feng Shui of a new home is so important because it determines the future of your family luck for at least the next 5 years. And you are going to write on this floppy piece of paper for the next 2 hours?
Given my expectations of clients, I would have told him to go and buy a notebook before I continued my audit.
But that day, the current owner was still living in the unit. It was by appointment that we were let in to get the Feng Shui audit done. The family was also waiting for us to finish things up, as they were going out.
I thought of the many times that he had Liked my FB posts these two years. So I decided to give him some face, and not make things difficult for him in front of his girlfriend. Also a very tiny way of me thanking him for his support all these while.
Hence, I put this incident in my heart. From my experience, I know that anyone who did not write the notes well will definitely come back to ask me again.
A few days later, he sent me messages, some of which were raising the same questions that I had explained on the day of the audit.
I told him, "While I do not mind answering the same questions again, if you had brought a notebook that day, you would have written it down."
You and I would not need to repeat ourselves again.
I also wrote, "I am slightly disappointed in you."
His reply, "Well noted on your disappointment. Will pay attention to own thoughts/actions for better changes."
"You should apologise to me. It is wrong of you to ignore my reminders to bring a notebook."
This is akin to lying to me. If you do not wish to bring, say it outright. Don't brush me off with perfunctory thanks.
He did apologised later and graciously gave me the permission to write about this, to remind my readers.
If your future is destined to be difficult, be it in your marriage, career, family or wealth, you must be extra observant of your every action and deed.
Because every little thought of yours, every seemingly minor decision you made, will lead you step-by-step to fall into the manhole of your pre-destined bad fortune.
You will miss out on what I repeatedly tell you to do.
You will write wrongly, hear wrongly, remember wrongly and do wrongly.
The people around you will influence you. They will tell you not to listen to me, or any well-meaning advice to transform your destiny. They will say that you doing so is making them unhappy and uncomfortable.
You will be unwillingly to fork out money even when you can afford it. You want to live off the compassion of mine and get free help, on the empty claim that you have no money.
You will be wilful. You will be stubborn. You will think that there is no big deal about Chinese Metaphysics and that what you say matters the most in your life. Despite not having any ability or past achievement to support that fat bold claim.
Because you have already become that little string puppet, being dangled around mercilessly by your negative karma.
My sternness is to pull you away from that manhole of mishaps. Do not live your life in a blur. Do not drag your family down with you to suffer at the hands of karma.
Not everyone can stand up right again, after a really bad fall.
Who doesn't wish to be that well-liked person? But since ancient times, an overly loving mother often leads to a useless son.
In modern society, the self confidence of every man and woman tend to come from his/her career. But happiness and bliss will always come from your family.
So never ever choose to be selfish.
