關於 we'll發音 ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

大家好，課程每天晚上8:30更新。這一課要學習的單字是【optimistic 樂觀的】。這個單字考試很重要，日常生活也很實用，把例句透過朗讀，只要次數夠，幾十次，甚至上百次，開口說英文真的不難。影片的單字有慢速和快速，注意[p]音，要用停頓的發音方式，不要發出聲音。做出發音的動作，但不要出聲，稍微停頓。

KK[͵ɑptəˋmɪstɪk]
adj. 樂觀的

1. He's a really optimistic person. Nothing gets him down.

我試著保持樂觀，但有時候很難。我會想到很多負面的事情。

尬黑先生

幾年前認識了一位男生，是朋友的朋友，近十年搬到深圳過著隱青生活，很偶爾才會來香港一趟。

看著他滄桑的樣子，我確實很難想像他中學時玩搖滾樂，還當樂團主音；大學時去了日本交換一年，還交了日本女朋友，然後再去韓國一年，又交了個韓國女朋友；二十出頭已買到人生第一部車，是一部GTR；最後毅然辭職，追逐夢想當了個攝影師。他拍的照我看過，是有溫度、有味道的黑白照片。

我乾脆叫他「尬黑」，這是他十幾年前的網名，用國語唸這兩個字，發音跟他名字的廣東話很像（想必他也有過台灣女朋友吧）。

朋友們都知道尬黑得了抑鬱症，變得深居簡出，狀況時好時壞，因此見他的次數也時多時少。前年倒數，他晚上九點出現，然後十點又走了，最後還是沒能一起倒數，這些行為很奇怪，也很尬黑。

一直以來我跟尬黑的交流並不多，因為我算是他的「新朋友」，因為我話少，也因為他話更少，但我深深的感受到他那些跟他從小玩到大的哥兒們有多擔心他，怕他沒收入、怕他沒地方住、怕他胡思亂想，更怕他尋死。

兩年前尬黑跟其他朋友來了我家，那是我們第一次一對一交談，我沒有因為他有抑鬱症而講話避重就輕，而他也因為我沒有參與他的過去而自由的把他這些年來的經歷娓娓道來。我說我喜歡東京，他問我有沒有去過鎌倉，我說我喜歡在江之島看海，他問我有沒有看過海街Diary（海街女孩日記），我說我很喜歡，他說他也是，我笑問是因為有美女嗎？

説罷其他男生們也到了，我們一起在小陽台抽雪茄。煙癮大的尬黑說他整整一個星期沒抽煙了，我興奮地問：「你要戒了嗎？恭喜！」，沒想到他淡然回答：「沒有，純粹好奇不抽煙幾天的感覺是怎樣的，現在才發現其實沒什麼感覺。」

抽一根雪茄大概要半個小時，在這半個小時間尬黑說了很多，我們談電影、談音樂、談旅遊、談女生，無所不談，也沒有理會那些所謂的禁忌話題。尬黑說他昨晚特別快樂，說那可能是因為尼古丁的作用。然後他答應了我們，每個星期一起抽一根雪茄。

我當晚也很快樂，因為我終於看見提得起勁的尬黑，對生活有些微熱情的尬黑，還有開始改變現在的生活方式，甚或開始想像將來生活的尬黑。我們幾個約定了一起去旅遊，去他熟悉的地方也好，一起探索新城市也行，只要尬黑快樂，我們也就放下心頭大石。

總覺得某部分的尬黑像以前的我，比如心底裡的消極及悲觀；而某部分的我也像以前的尬黑，比如憤世嫉俗，所以我們特別投契。大概我跟他那些哥兒們不一樣的是，我沒有在意他的抑鬱症，因為在我抑鬱的時候，我最需要的也不過是別人把我當成一般人一樣看待，不用小心翼翼，只需談天說地。

我愛是枝裕和的電影（將來一定會好好寫），海街Dairy應該是前三，電影中鎌倉的海景當然美，但更重要是的電影道出了人與人之間微妙而細緻的關係，說白了就是親人之間的愛，而親人只是一種感覺，並非一定要有血緣關係。

印象中是枝導演在訪問中說過「生命若包含欠缺，等待他人來填補」，昨天的尬黑某程度上安慰了我，而我真切的希望，我也或多或少的療癒了他。

我相信尬黑會好起來，會找到喜歡的女生，會幸福。

And we'll just wait and see, if it's half what it used to be.”

We appreciate your kind assistance!

Nowhere Boys Acoustic Sessions - 將電腦伴奏全部卸下，只用我們五個人在同一時間能夠彈奏的樂器和歌聲，重新編曲並演奏出我們的歌曲。這樣的聲音令我們很感動，因為這就是只屬於我們五個人的「原音」。

這次重新編曲的是小飛俠 Peter Pan - 《The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up》Part I & II！ 將二部曲合併再加上西部牛仔元素，我們玩得非常開心！原來不經不覺這兩首歌已經超過5歲了，希望能一直彈下去，能像小飛俠一樣永遠不會長大，對身邊一切保持好奇和熱誠！

Music, lyrics, arrangement, recording, production and video by Nowhere Boys.

Autumn leafs, wrap around a body that won't change
Oh sparkling dust, with a lovely thought we might just float
And the bells begins to ring
Then the clock begins to ring
 
Like a black bird in the night, fly over you
We'll make it through, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh it's true
I know someday I will fly, right next to you
Into the storm, we will find ourselves in this paradise
In this land we wouldn't die

And I'm going back in time
I move in the speed of light 
Flying round and up and down
Between those castles in the sky

I’ll find another cure
I'll bring it back to you
And if you want me to
1, 2, 3, 4, I’m at your door

Sing, Ah - Whoa - Oh
Your feet won’t touch the ground
I’m counting down
To the day we meet again and we’ll sing
Ah - Whoa – Oh
Don’t let me go, don’t let me grow old
We’ll live forever and ever more

Then the bells begin to ring
Darling I will hear you sing

Like a black bird in the night, fly over you
We'll make it through, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh it's true
I know someday I will fly, right next to you
Into the storm, we will find ourselves in this paradise
In this land we wouldn't die

You make me Whoa, Whoa - Oh
You make me Whoa, Whoa - Oh
You make me Whoa, Whoa - Oh
You make me Whoa, Whoa - Oh

同學期待的政治英文影片第一集總算出爐了! 在此先聲明，我跟Howard老師純粹是分析英文，兩位總統都是神人級的第二語言使用者! 此影片的目的不在於比較兩者的英文能力，而是提供學習者英文口語的實際操作和可以注意的小細節。 以下是影片中提到的一些資訊，請看完再發表評論:

馬英九（1950年7月13日－），中華民國政治人物，曾任中華民國第12、13任總統、國民黨主席等職。畢業於國立台灣大學法律學系，其後前往美國深造，獲紐約大學法學碩士學位，哈佛大學司法學博士學位。曾經擔任蔣經國總統的英文翻譯。

影片: https://youtu.be/lRACKQkgFqc?t=32
Former President of Taiwan Ma Ying-jeou, in conversation with Jerome A. Cohen, discusses student exchanges between Germany and France.

●沒有看稿子
●非常有經驗的講者
●發音大致上標準 (Prussia 普魯士, herald, tribune, presidency)
●good use of stress (enhancements)
●流暢度有練過特別停頓來思考
●提連貫性跟內容組織的部分
●會以故事的方式去切入重點

用的評分系統: https://www.ielts.org/-/media/pdfs/sp...

●wide range and skillful use of vocabulary: are aware of, feel uneasy, visionary leaders, engage in a massive student exchange, worked miracles, became cornerstones
●mistakes: skip school, quit school, tense--become cornerstone
●short, concise sentences suited for clear public speaking
●lexically dense sentences

★★★★★★★★★★★★

蔡英文（1956年8月31日－）是中華民國（臺灣）的政治人物、法律學者、律師，為現任中華民國總統，原擔任民主進步黨主席。她先後獲得國立臺灣大學法律學系法學士、康奈爾法學院法學碩士、及倫敦政治經濟學院法學博士，曾任教於國立政治大學法學院和東吳大學法學院。

影片: https://youtu.be/5ygpAnK02uk?t=55
President Tsai Ing-wen in Harvard giving advice to students on policy challenges, choices, and leadership in the next decade

●沒有看稿子
●英式發音* (taught, good), 非常清楚
*其實很多英國人不喜歡英式口音這個標籤，英國人覺得他們自己講的才是真正標準的英文，是美國人才有口音

而且現在的英國(聯合王國)也是四個國家組成的，每個區域的發音都有一些區別。

用的評分系統: https://www.ielts.org/-/media/pdfs/sp...

●用詞豐富: rebellious, challenge your teachers and contemporaries, make yourself suited for changes, sharing values, expediting
●流暢度, 有些停頓, 但是思考內容的停頓絕對是自然的!
●文法沒有任何的錯誤 (a rebellious one, meaning...分詞構句, everything that is taught 形容詞子句, what is true today...名詞子句)

★★★★★★★★★★★★

對我而言，英文是一種工具，不覺得每一個政治人物都需要英文，有專業和可靠的翻譯輔助，就足夠了。

NOTE: Thank you for the comments, everyone, both the positive and negative ones. We'll continue to do our best to produce entertaining yet educational videos.

There is a lot of information that we could not fit in a 10 min video, and some parts could be more clearly presented. For example, pauses are entirely natural when one searches for content. This point was stated in the video but went unnoticed by many commenters. Some have also expressed concerns about the clips selected. We selected them based on the following criteria: be related to education, have "spontaneous" interaction, and be in the public domain. Not many clips on the net meet these criteria, and the two above were the only ones we had access to. Last, some comments (from both sides) have accused us of bias. We tried to be as impartial as possible, and if you require more information on our thoughts, please refer to our notes in the video description. As previously stated, both candidates are advanced second language users, and it is not our aim to compare or criticize them. Again, thank you all for your feedback. We will strive to do better in the future.

----------歌詞對照----------
Saturday morning jumped out of bed
And put on my best suit
Got in my car and raced like a jet
All the way to you
Knocked on your door with heart in my hand
To ask you a question
'Cause I know that you're an old-fashioned man, yeah

Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, but the answer is 'No'

Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway

Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
Yeah, no matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so
Rude

I hate to do this, you leave no choice
Can't live without her
Love me or hate me we will be boys
Standing at that altar
Or we will run away
To another galaxy, you know
You know she's in love with me
She will go anywhere I go

Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, 'cause the answer's still 'No"

Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway

Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
No matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so
Rude
Rude

Can I have your daughter for the rest of my life?
Say yes, say yes 'cause I need to know
You say, I'll never get your blessing 'til the day I die
Tough luck, my friend, but 'No' still means 'No'!

Why you gotta be so rude?
Don't you know I'm human too?
Why you gotta be so rude?
I'm gonna marry her anyway

Marry that girl
Marry her anyway
Marry that girl
No matter what you say
Marry that girl
And we'll be a family
Why you gotta be so
