【 時事英文導讀分享 l 習近平造訪武漢 】
前幾天搭捷運時遇到一個苗栗的高中學生,他自稱是我的忠實粉絲,很興奮地跟我合照。其實我真的是個害羞的人,也覺得自己不學無術,還有很多要學習,所以碰到這種粉絲時刻我通常蠻心虛。
心虛時刻還包括,有粉絲訂閱了華爾街日報(WSJ)後私訊我:該如何閱讀才能增進英文實力呢?
這實在很難回答。
第一,我不曉得你的英文程度,所以很難建議。
第二,我不知道你願意花多少時間讀WSJ。
我對於學英文很有興趣,但我絕對不敢自稱英文很好。我能做的,是跟大家分享我讀時事英文的心得。
許多人都知道,新聞英文架構分成三大部分:
標題 headline
導言 lead
主體 body
其中,我認為導言是最有趣的部分,也是最難的部分。
導言是下筆者對於這則新聞提綱契領的核心訊息,必須精練有趣。導言通常也是下筆者對這則新聞的角度,用字遣詞會帶有一些主觀判斷。
在閱讀英文新聞時,我的建議通常是:與其花半小時讀完一篇落落長的完整報導,不如花相同時間讀完十篇新聞的標題加導言。
因為新聞英文是倒金塔式寫作,越前面的訊息越重要,越後面會越瑣碎、越接近補充性質。
今天就拿一篇WSJ文章來舉個例吧!
標題:
China’s Xi Visits Wuhan, City at Center of Coronavirus Epidemic
(中國習近平訪問新冠肺炎中心武漢市)
標題的訊息非常簡略,只描述了一件事實:習近平去了武漢。但只看標題,看不出這件事的重要性,包括習近平為何要去。
導言:
Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the quarantined city of Wuhan on Tuesday for the first time since the coronavirus was identified there, reflecting confidence that the epidemic’s spread has been largely contained within China.
這段主導言非常精準地點出了兩個核心訊息:
first time 第一次
confidence 信心
也就是,這是新冠肺炎爆發以來,習近平首度去疫情最初爆發地武漢。
為何?記者解讀為:習近平對於疫情控制的信心。
基本上,新聞看到這邊,你就已經「讀懂」這則新聞了,也抓到記者的核心訊息。
但要稍微注意到記者的用字留了一點保留:largely contained (大部分疫情已控制住)。
記者的意思是:尚未完全控制。所以文中不是用completely/ thoroughly/ totally 等字,而是largely。
但largely 又比partially (部分)更強,意思是習近平認為疫情不只是部分控制,而是控制地差不多了。
Mr. Xi’s visit, which came as Italian authorities locked down the entire country and governments from the U.S. to Iran scrambled to contain the fast-spreading virus, follows weeks in which China reported a steady decline in new infections.
主導言的下一段,將習近平的到訪,與各國疫情現況做了一個反差對比:
義大利全境封鎖
美國及伊朗在防疫上疲於奔命
(凸顯此時習近平的信心)
這段次導言,除了給出一個生動的畫面,更重要的是,凸顯這則新聞的重要性:其他國家好忙好亂,反而中國開始老神在在。
In an unannounced trip, Mr. Xi arrived in the stricken metropolis of 11 million people to visit front-line medical workers, military personnel and community workers, state media said. Wuhan, the center of the epidemic and capital of Hubei, has been locked down since late January as part of unprecedented measures curbing movement for hundreds of millions of people across China.
第三段導言,多給了一些補充訊息,包括:
unannounced trip :習近平出發去武漢前並未事先公告
unprecedented:武漢封城是前所未有的
當然,記者也用了一些新聞英語常用的修辭手法,包括替換語詞,增加閱讀的豐富性,例如:
首都:metropolis / capital
封城:quarantine/ lock down/curbing movement for people across China
造訪:visit/ trip
發生疫情:coronavirus identified/ stricken
以上是我看這則新聞的分享,大家不妨也可以在閱讀時以這種方式練習看看,抓出核心訊息,並思考為何這則導言要這樣寫。
也歡迎大家以留言或私訊方式分享你們學英文心得喔!

【打好個底】養好脾,防病能力自然高

#切勿胡亂使用偏方

健脾祛濕防肺炎
朱師奶:「最近群組瘋傳各式各樣可預防新型冠狀病毒的偏方,是否大人小朋友都適合用?」
CheckCheckCin:中醫主張辨證論治,意思是根據症狀辨清病因及治療方案,每個人體質不同,沒有一條藥方可以適合所有人,所以不建議胡亂使用偏方,有可能治病不成反而加重病情。想強身防病,可以從健脾祛濕著手,香港人普遍多痰濕,主要因為嗜吃生冷甜膩食物、常躲在冷氣房、久坐不動,加上氣候潮濕,如果你發現舌頭白色濕潤黏膩、大便黏馬桶又異常地臭、常感到疲倦及胸悶胃脹,就是身體有濕的警號。
「脾主運化」,只要脾功能良好,就能運化水濕,令濕氣不易囤積。建議平日少吃油膩、生冷食物、凍飲及甜品,多吃健脾化濕的食物如白米、赤小豆、淮山、薏米、扁豆衣、番薯等,每天飲一杯米水,都可以有助強健脾胃,驅走濕氣。定時做適量運動,亦有助身體排汗祛濕。
藿香豆蔻陳皮茶
功效:化濕行氣,理氣健脾,紓緩因為痰濕引致頭身困重、疲倦不堪的症狀。
材料:藿香6克、白豆蔻3克、陳皮1角
做法:材料洗淨,鍋中加入約800毫升水,加入材料,武火煮滾後調中火煮約20分鐘即可。建議一星期連續飲用3天。
備註:陰虛人士不宜飲用。
Strengthen the spleen to dispel dampness to prevent pneumonia
“There have been a lot of various online rumors about how to prevent against Covid-19. Are they suitable for all ages?”
CheckCheckCin: Chinese medicine states that you need to find out the cause and correct treatment according to the symptoms. Everyone has different body conditions. There is no singular formula that is suitable for everyone. Therefore, it is not recommended to use folk medicine indiscriminately. If you want to strengthen your body and prevent disease, you can start with strengthening the spleen and dispelling dampness. People in Hong Kong generally have phlegm and dampness body type because they like to eat cold/raw and oily food, spend significant time in air-conditioned rooms, sit without moving for long periods of time, and climate is humid. If you find that your tongue is white, damp and sticky, your stool sticks to the toilet and is unusually smelly, you feel fatigue, chest tightness, stomach bloating, those are the warning signs that there is dampness in the body.
The spleen transports fluid to ensure dampness does not stagnate in the body. Have less oily and cold/raw food, drink and dessert. Eat more ingredients that can strengthen the spleen and dispel dampness such as rice, rice bean, Chinese yam, coix seeds, hyacinth bean coat and sweet potato. Drink a cup of rice water daily to strengthen the spleen and stomach to dispel dampness. Exercising regularly can also help encourage sweating and dispel dampness.

thoroughly意思 在 玳瑚師父 Master Dai Hu Facebook 的最佳解答
(English writing below)
成年人的成就,大多都認爲在事業。小孩的優越,大多則認爲在學業。望子成龍,望女成鳳,是天下爲人父母者,共同的企盼。若妳你家中尚有,還未成氣侯的,大人與小孩,那一定是妳你的居家裡,沒有設文昌位。玳瑚師父,文昌位不是給小孩的嗎?學藝要在精啊!這顆大吉星,是叫文昌貴人星。凡是人,都需要貴人的扶持呀!大人在外謀生,沒貴人照料,恐怕一生難以可春可秋,且小人易得逞。小孩在校裡,遭霸凌難遇人助。學習能力差,也難遇同學,及教師們的关照啊!
吾,玳瑚師父,在勘察陽宅風水時,都會鼓勵人們,設個文昌位。蓋文昌位設得對,設得好,池中之龍将得以飛上青天,大興事業。乌鴉飛上枝頭,變鳳凰。文昌貴人星都可在八字,居家,飲食,穿戴中尋得。而單單在居家中,就有三種文昌位。正所謂,文昌貴人到昌明。
沒有文昌貴人星的加持,妳的阿老與妳,事業難昌盛。妳你家中的小朋友,就算妳你請全國最好的,補習老師給她他,成绩依舊起落不定,未能名列前茅。現在大家應該對,文昌貴人星有更深一層的理解了。理解了就去行動吧!生活中的苦惱,才能徹底解除啊!不好意思,上方所提的阿老,是福建話的老公。哈.......。

The accomplishments of adults are mainly regarded as the career achievements. For children, their achievements would be seen as those from their studies. Every parent wishes for their sons to become dragons, and the daughters phoenixes. If you have an adult or child at home who has yet achieved anything, it must be because you have no Wen Chang area at home.
But Master Dai Hu, isn't Wen Chang area meant for only children?
If you think so, then you need to improve your knowledge. This great auspicious Star is known as the Wen Chang Benefactor Star. Everybody needs the help of benefactors! For an adult making a living in the world, without the care from benefactors, his life would hardly go smoothly, and people will be abound to make things difficult for him. When children get bullied in school, they will not be able to receive help from benefactors. If their learning abilities are subpar, it is hard for them to meet students and teachers who will assist them!
When I, Master Dai Hu, conduct a Feng Shui audit, I will always encourage people to set up a Wen Chang area. When this is done right and well, the Dragon in the pond can ascend to the Heavens, and new career heights will be reached. The crow will fly to the top of the tree and become a phoenix. Wen Chang Benefactor Star can be found in the Bazi, residence, diet, outfits and accessories. Just in the home alone, there are 3 types of Wen Chang areas. Hence the saying, when the Wen Chang Benefactor arrives, prosperity and a bright future awaits.
Without the blessings from the Wen Chang Benefactor, it will be very difficult for you and your husband to prosper in your careers. Even if you get the best tutor in the nation for your children, their results will still fluctuate and they will rank at the top of their class. Now, everyone should have a deeper understanding of the Wen Chang Benefactor Star. So act now! Only then can you thoroughly eradicate your sufferings and troubles n your life!
