#迷上英式英文【英女皇的那句Bad luck】
(一如以往,蕭叔叔只談語文,不論時政)又有機會聽聽英女皇的英文。大家留意,雖然美國人喜歡叫英國人的所謂RP(received pronunciation)做 the Queen's English,其實英女皇的英文口音跟一般受過高等教育的英國人的所謂RP,其實是兩回事。英女皇說的是一種所謂conservative的RP,大家聽聽英國的貴族(多數是Lord 乜乜乜,Lord乜乜乜)說話就知道。語言學家分析,女皇的英文今年已經dumbed down了好多,可是仍和一般在BBC、在大學聽到的RP不一樣。
就以英女皇說的那句bad luck為例,大家細心聽聽那個bad字,聽起來其實很像bed。但在modern RP,其實開口會很大很大。
有人會問,拿英女皇做pronunciation model好嗎?I would probably advise against it, unless you want to become a member of the royal family.

《衛報》的Transcript:
Lord Chamberlain: Can I present Commander Lucy D’Orsi, who was gold commander during the Chinese state visit.
Queen: Oh, bad luck.
Lord Chamberlain: And who was seriously, seriously undermined by the Chinese, but she managed to hold her own and remain in command. And her mother, Judith, who’s involved in child protection and social work.
Judith Copson: Yes, I’m very proud of my daughter.
Lord Chamberlain: You must tell your story.
D’Orsi: Yes, I was the gold commander, so I’m not sure whether you knew, but it was quite a testing time for me.
Queen: Yes, I did.
D’Orsi: It was … I think at the point that they walked out of Lancaster house and told me that the trip was off, that I felt …
Queen: They were very rude to the ambassador.
D’Orsi: They were, well, yes she was, Barbara was with me and they walked out on both of us.
Queen: Extraordinary.
Copson: I know, it’s unbelievable.
D’Orsi: It was very rude and very undiplomatic, I thought.

TV show on new Taiwan residents to air in June

The first ever TV program documenting the lives of new Taiwan residents is set to air in June on Taipei City-based Chinese Television System’s Education and Culture channel.
Broadcast in Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese with Chinese subtitles, “Happy New Residents” differs from previous offerings in that the stars express themselves in their mother tongues and a manner in which they feel comfortable. Each of the 10 episodes runs for 60 minutes and utilizes a variety of formats like drama and talk show.
Program producer Allen Chien and his Vietnamese wife Phyllis Tran are the brains behind the concept, coming up with the idea after failing to find similar shows on the more than 100 channels available in Taiwan.
“Despite starting new lives in Taiwan, new immigrants still want to have cultural connections with their home countries and territories,” Tran said March 1. “Entertainment shows are a good way to maintain and spotlight these ties.”
According to Tran, the talk show is based on hit local program “Queen.” Guests discuss hot topics and issues of concerns for women, as well as teaching new residents how to dress spectacularly for less than NT$3,000 (US$96).
Funding the project with NT$4 million raised through various community-based undertakings, the couple also secured NT$8.85 million in support from the National Immigration Agency. CTS is covering technical expenditures up to NT$20 million.
A total of 17 new immigrants, their local friends and students from Southeast Asia attended the first preshoot March 1. They included Radio Taiwan International’s Vietnamese-language host Vy Fann, aka Vietnam’s equivalent of Singaporean actress Fann Wong; TV drama actress Anny Ting from Indonesia, also a winner of a cooking contest for foreigners; Thailand’s Julalak Wu who serves as an editor-translator for “4-Way Voice,” a monthly publication for immigrants from Southeast Asia; and Zhao Erjuan, founder of an association for mainland Chinese spouses in Taiwan.
According to Chien, the choice of a temple plaza for the setting of the first episode was a no-brainer. “This is the place where the touching qualities of Taiwan people are on full display,” he said, adding that new residents will play retailers interacting with local customers as a way of demonstrating strong work ethics in their new home.
During rehearsal, several new residents tried to modify their pronunciation, but Chien encouraged them to speak naturally. “Accents are one of your distinctive characteristics and will make your performance much livelier.”
Themes for other episodes include afternoon tea, cultural explorations, current fashion trends, getting fit, online shopping and Taipei City Government’s YouBike.
Government data reveals there are 710,000-plus foreign spouses and their offspring in Taiwan, making the demographic the fourth-largest in Taiwan. (VS-JSM)
