曾經有則留言這樣說，
「我看你屁股也沒有很翹嘛！還敢教人家練屁股。」
當下我完全不覺得生氣，
因為我以前更慘啦！#需要看before&after嗎？
扁身外加久坐練成的扁平屁股，
可是跟了我3、40年啊，
已經是熟門熟路的好朋友了嘛🤷♀️
這幾年才認真和它正面對決，
還沒運動以前我覺得腹肌很難練，
現在才知道真正的魔王是屁屁🤦♀️
臀部這裡的肌群要練起來真的是不容易的！
但我們不要輕言放棄，
有練有機會，不練呢？只好繼續扁屁屁。

這個禮拜Presentality的Andrew來分享英文寫作的節奏!
★★★★★★★★★★★★
我的工作需要看非常多的英文。
其中有英文母語的人寫的，也有非母語的人寫的。最近，我注意到一個兩者之間很明顯的差別。這個差別很少有人提到，因為它無關文法正確，也不是有學問的用語，或是文雅的詞彙。
是句子的長短。
Well，更正確的來說，是長句跟短句的交錯。我發現，非母語人士寫的英文句子，不但比英文母語的人寫的長，而且是大部分句子都很長。
母語的人，尤其是很會寫的人，則是會把長句跟短句混合搭配。
那又怎樣？
★★★★★★★★★★★★
你可能會說 ok，以英文為母語的人比較會用短的句子，那又怎樣？句子的長短，跟我寫作的好壞，有關嗎？
關係可大了。
就像音樂，或是影片，文字也是「內容」。只要是「內容」，就有它的節奏。你可以想像一首曲子，從頭到尾都是很長的音，而且一點變化都沒有嗎？或是一部很長的影片，從頭到尾都是很長的畫面，而且一點節奏的變化都沒有嗎？
Well actually，你應該可以想像，這些就是要幫助我們睡眠的。
如果你不想要你的讀者覺得無聊或甚至睡著，我建議適度變換你文字的節奏。
但我們先看案例。
我拿一篇台灣人寫的文，跟另一篇美國人寫的，來做比較：把每個句子都分拆成不同的段落，句子的長短就一目了然了。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
但我們先看案例。
我拿一篇台灣人寫的文，跟另一篇美國人寫的，來做比較：把每個句子都分拆成不同的段落，句子的長短就一目了然了。
📌 台灣案例：Taipei Times Opinion
1. The TAIEX last month rose above 17,000 points as rallies in steel, shipping and some non-tech stocks offset a weakness in semiconductor and electronics stocks.
2. While news about a cluster of local COVID-19 infections connected with China Airlines cargo pilots and a hotel in Taoyuan fueled selling pressure early this month and pushed the local stock market into consolidation mode, the daily market turnover in the first two trading sessions of this month hit fresh highs.
3. Moreover, Taiwan’s stock trading volume last month began to surpass that of Hong Kong for the first time in 15 years, which was beyond most market participants’ expectations.
4. Taiwan’s daily market turnover exceeding Hong Kong’s might gradually become a new normal from this year, and there are good reasons for this.
5. First, Hong Kong’s stock market has lost its appeal to foreign investors since China last year imposed national security legislation on the territory, triggering a potential flight of capital and talent.
6. Second, many wealthy Taiwanese tend to park their overseas funds in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Switzerland and the US, but government statistics showed that more than 80 percent of funds repatriated by wealthy individuals last year were from Hong Kong, as they saw the political situation in the territory worsen after its self-governance, human rights and freedom of speech were further suppressed.
7. Third, China’s new NASDAQ-style stock board — the Shanghai Stock Exchange’s STAR board — has emerged as a fast-growing capital markets center for Chinese companies at a time when rising China-US tensions have triggered concerns about their prospects of listing in New York, posing a growing challenge to the Hong Kong stock exchange.
8. On the other hand, Taiwan’s economic fundamentals, the central bank’s adoption of extraordinary monetary easing and the government’s fiscal policies have fueled continued rallies in the nation’s stock market since last year.
9. It might be too early to tell how long the consolidation trend might last, as a resurgent COVID-19 outbreak is coloring the global economic outlook, but some insight can be drawn from the stock market:
10. Taiwan’s GDP grew a larger-than-expected 8.16 percent in the first quarter, as exports and private investment remained healthy.
都是一堆很長的句子對不對？我們來看美國人寫的句子，也是一個主流媒體的 opinion 文。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 美國案例：New York Times Opinion
1. I miss torturing Liz Cheney.
2. But it must be said that the petite blonde from Wyoming suddenly seems like a Valkyrie amid halflings.
3. She is willing to sacrifice her leadership post — and risk her political career — to continue calling out Donald Trump’s Big Lie.
4. She has decided that, if the price of her job is being as unctuous to Trump as Kevin McCarthy is, it isn’t worth it, because McCarthy is totally disgracing himself.
5. It has been a dizzying fall for the scion of one of the most powerful political families in the land, a conservative chip off the old block who was once talked about as a comer, someone who could be the first woman president.
6. How naïve I was to think that Republicans would be eager to change the channel after Trump cost them the Senate and the White House and unleashed a mob on them.
7. I thought the Donald would evaporate in a poof of orange smoke, ending a supremely screwed-up period of history.
8. But the loudest mouth is not shutting up.
9. And Republicans continue to listen, clinging to the idea that the dinosaur is the future.
10. “We can’t grow without him,” Lindsey Graham said.
📌 Note: 即使是比較長的句子，這位作者也會用標點符號拆散它：She is willing to sacrifice her leadership post — and risk her political career — to continue calling out Donald Trump’s Big Lie. 這就好比用句點一樣，讓我們讀起來有點停頓休息的時間。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 注意到了嗎？
台灣人寫的英文，句子都偏長，而且長度都差不多。
美國人寫的就不一樣了：一個只有五個字的句子開頭，然後一堆稍微長一點的句子，然後再來一串短句。
你可能懷疑我故意挑選很極端了例子出來，而且幹嘛專門打台灣人呢？
所以想到這裡，我從我的書架上，隨便挑了兩本跟科技有關的書出來。左邊的，是美國人，矽谷知名投資人 Peter Thiel。右邊的是德國人，但注意了，是一個英文非常好的德國人。他不但是世界經濟論壇的創辦人，研究所也是在哈佛大學唸的。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 兩本書 Introduction 是怎麼寫的？
Klaus Schwab (德國)：
Of the many diverse and fascinating challenges we face today, the most intense and important is how to understand and shape the new technology revolution, which entails nothing less than a transformation of humankind.
We are at the beginning of a revolution that is fundamentally changing the way we live, work, and relate to one another.
In its scale, scope and complexity, what I consider to be the fourth industrial revolution is unlike anything humankind has experienced before.
Peter Thiel (美國)：
Whenever I interview someone for a job, I like to ask this question: "What important truth do very few people agree with you on?"
The question sounds easy because it's straightforward.
Actually, it's very hard to answer.
It's intellectually difficult because the knowledge that everyone is taught in school is by definition agreed upon.
See the difference?
★★★★★★★★★★★★

【我親愛的Zoom視訊客人們】
To My Dear Zoom Clients
我忍了真的⋯⋯真的⋯⋯很久，今天過後實在忍無可忍，一定要叮嚀所有過去和未來的客人們。
我年紀很大了，受不了太大的刺激。
拜託，你們可以Zoom好來嗎？😓😑
一、Zoom視訊的視角 = 拍護照照的視角
護照自2020年起就已成為古董，但大家這一生應該有拍過證件照吧！
對了，就是要頭髮整齊，讓我看到你的雙耳、雙眼、鼻子、嘴巴、頸項和肩膀，到胸部。
我批八字時，需要看整個面相。不要讓你一半的臉掉出鏡頭外，這樣很像鍾無艷，也不要嘴巴不見掉，這樣我很像在跟一條羅漢魚視訊。
我看面相包括看你的嘴巴、牙齒和說話時的嘴形。是的，看相就是需要那麼仔細。
如果你的螢幕太低，那就找書本或舊報紙，把螢幕墊高一點。別讓我整一個小時半只看到你的雙下巴，會把你的面相比例給看錯。
不要一直告訴我不好意思，方法是人想出來的。
•
二、光線
太暗，我看你如見鬼。
太亮，我會看不清你的膚色。
拉開窗簾，不要背向陽光。
有必要的話，就直接開燈！
•
三、勿放什麼椰樹沙灘/金門大橋的虛擬背景圖
什麼虛擬背景圖都不要放啦～
我的家美最重要，我不在乎你的家美不美，我只是來看命的。
如果你的Wi-Fi不是很強，電腦功能不是很厲害，這類的虛擬背景圖會讓你的視訊畫面卡卡的。
有時你轉個身，整個右邊不見了，或部份的頭髮少了，讓我覺得我好像在看恐怖片，嚇人啊～
•
四、環境和聲音
有些海外客人其實非常用心。為了與我視訊，特別去買有麥克風的耳機🎧，讓我能更清楚的聽到他們的聲音。😍
沒有使用耳機和麥克風的客人，往往他們的聲音會有種空氣般的回音，如果他們本身講話又小聲，我的耳機聲量開滿，我還是聽得滿辛苦的
也有香港和馬來西亞客人租過會議室、鐘點房間或單人工作室，就是為了不受家人的干擾，能安心的與我視訊。😍
最有趣的是，去年新加坡阻斷措施時，有位男客人跑到屋外的走廊坐在地上與我視訊。只是外頭風聲有點大，我好幾次都聽不清楚他的聲音。
曾有客人在咖啡廳與我視訊。咖啡廳裡的高談闊論聲和器皿的敲擊聲，頻頻從我的耳機闖進我的耳朵，哇～我的耳朵那時真的是活受罪，還要裝一副氣定神閒的樣子。
天啊，兩次過後，我寧願退錢，也不再見這樣的客人了。耳朵只有一對，我要保護好啊！
在這裡聲明：一般我們買手機時的那種有麥克風的耳機，就已能視訊。沒有戴耳機和麥克風的客人，我一概會拒絕諮詢，把費用原銀奉還。
五、孩子
曾試過諮詢的前20分鐘，一直被女客人的小孩打擾，進來哭著要媽媽主持公道。
如果你家中有六歲以下的兒童，會時不時來敲你的門，我建議你還是先別約我。你這樣會分心，無法聽好我交代的事，而我也得一直等你去安撫你的孩子，就無法在限定時間內看完你的八字，這樣對誰都不公平。
六、我只見客人一人
這個規矩，從我一出道就定下來，也清楚的寫在網站上，根本不用一而再的來試探水溫。
但這兩個星期，還是有客人硬闖關，事先安排自己的配偶/孩子坐在電腦的另一面，要他們聽我講他的八字。
我從不改我的規矩，也沒有八字或風水是我非看不可的。
讀書這麼高，連自己的命都不能自己負責，這已經不是能改到命的人了。
你一定要你的配偶陪你聽，那你需要的不是我來教你改命，是你的配偶來安你的心。
將來若還有這樣的事，我會直接中斷視訊，把錢退回去。
七、「我第一次用Zoom！」
可是從報名那天到今天的諮詢，你有兩個月的時間去摸索。
兩個月，怎麼還是錯誤百出？因為客人根本沒有事先準備和練習。
結果我就這樣等了20分鐘，還得等對方下載軟件。
Zoom不難使用，但如果是你沒有花時間去摸索，就不要撒謊，直接說，我就直接退現錢。
品德是改命的資糧，不要為了自己能脫身就隨便編一個漏洞百出的謊，還說自己是好人。這...不會臉皮太厚了嗎？
小事都不願做好，絕對不會成大器。
八、暈車
有些客人用Ipad或手機來視訊。
重點是，他一支手拿著手機，一支手拿筆寫筆記。他一邊寫，另一支手就一邊搖晃。他做在床上，移動一下，手機就彷彿大海嘯幾下🌊
我一天如果見三個這樣客人，我的視線就搖晃了5個小時。工作完畢後，頭也會痛得厲害，無法完成晚上製片的工作。
沒有自拍器三腳架，也應該有些書本或東西來頂著手機。
各位，多點善心，為我著想一下吧⋯⋯
__________________________
To My Dear Zoom Clients
I have been enduring it for a really really long time. That's it! I am gonna put a stop to this after today and send out this reminder to all my past and future clients.
I am getting on in years, and cannot stand too much stimulation.
Please.... can you guys do a proper Zoom?
Number 1: Going on screen in Zoom = Taking a photograph for your passport.
Since 2020, the passport has become something of an antique but I believe everyone has taken some kind of ID photos! Yes, the ones with your neatly combed trusses where I can see both your ears, nose, mouth, neck, shoulder all the way to your chest.
I would like to see your full face during the Bazi Consultation. Please don't allow half your face to fall off the screen and you end up looking like Zhong Wu Yan! Please also don't hide your mouth making me feel like I am talking to a Arrowana.
When I analyze your facial features, it includes your mouth, teeth and the shape of your mouth while you are talking. Yes, it is down to such level of details.
If your PC / Laptop monitor is too low, please find a book or old newspapers and stack it on top. Please don't let me only see your double chin for that 1.5 hours, as I would probably get the proportion of your face wrong.
Don't keep telling me you are apologetic. Think of a way out.
Number 2: The background lighting.
Too dark, you risk looking like a ghost.
Too bright, I cannot figure out your skin color.
Draw open the curtains, but don't face your back to the sunlight.
If necessary, just turn on the lights!
Number 3: Background images of coconut trees on sandy beaches or the Golden Gate Bridge.
There is no need to put on a virtual background. I only care about how my hone looks, I am not bothered by yours. I am only here to see your Bazi.
If your WIFI signal or your PC / Laptop performance is poor, using the virtual background can often make your Zoom video choppy. Sometimes when you turn your body, one side of your body or some part of your hair will disappear. It's really like one of those spooky movies scaring the wits out of me.
•
Number 4: Background environment and noise.
Some of my overseas clients really put in effort for our Zoom sessions. They bought a headset with a mic so that I can hear them properly and vice versa.
Those that did not use a earphone or a headset often sounded echo-ish, and if they spoke softly, I would have to turn on the volume on my side full throttle and still have a hard time trying to hear them.
There are some clients from Hong Kong and Malaysia who would rent meeting rooms, hotel rooms or private work spaces by the hour so as to reduce any disturbance from others and better focus on the Zoom session with me.
I recalled an interesting incident during the Circuit Breaker last year. A client from Singapore Zoom-ed with me along the corridor outside his house. Most of the time, I was hearing the howling of the winds rather than his voice.
Some clients sat themselves in coffee places for our session. These places are often filled with loud chatters and the clanging of cups and plates, and my ears suffered terribly. Yet, I have to continue to be seen as composed and attentive.
Goodness me, after 2 of such experiences, I decided that I rather refund these clients and never see them again. I have only 1 pair of ears and I want to protect them at all costs!
A normal earpiece that comes with the purchase of a handphone is good enough for Zoom video calls. For clients who do not have a earpiece/headset and a mic, I would end the consultation and refund the monies.
•
Number 5: Children
There was once where a session with a female client was repeatedly disrupted by her kids, running in crying for their mother to settle their quarrels. If you have children below 6 years of age, and likely to interrupt our session, I suggest you don't book a consultation with me.
You will be distracted, unable to focus on my advice and I have to wait for you to clear up the situation with your children, eating into the allowable time for me to complete the consultation. This is unfair to both you and me.
•
Number 6: I only meet one person, that is the Client.
I have set this requirement the day I stepped into this line of work, and it is clearly written in my booking form. There is no need to try your luck under any circumstances.
But in the space of 2 weeks, there were some clients who rode their luck and got their spouse / child to sit on the other side of the screen to listen in on our consultation.
I never change my stance, and there is no single client that I cannot afford to lose.
If you insist to have your spouse sit in, it is apparent that you do not need me to help transform your destiny. Rather you really need your spouse to put your heart at ease.
If such things happen the next time, I will end the session immediately and refund the fees.
•
Number 7: "My first time using Zoom"
But you have 2 full months to prepare before our actual consultation. You did not end up wasting time exploring the software and I wasted 20 mins waiting for you to download the software.
Zoom is an easy software to use but if you did not spend the time to familiarize yourself with it, please quit the lies and tell me directly. I will refund the consultation fees on the spot.
Our moral ethics serve as the foundation for our transformation. Stop weaving web of lies to get out of sticky situations, and still claim that you are a good person. Isn't this too thick-skinned?
•
Number 8: Giddy spells
Some clients use Ipad or their handphones for the Zoom session. Crucially, they hold the device with one hand, and take notes with the other. As they write, the other hand holding the phone becomes shaky. If he is doing that on his bed, his handphone would shake like a tsunami wave every time he changes his position.
If I see 3 such clients within a day, it would be 5 hours of shaking visuals for me. That would mean a splitting headache at the end of my work day, and not being able to work on my videos at night.
Even if you don't have a tripod stand, at least prop up the device with a book or something.
Please everyone, please be kind and have mercy on me......
曾經有則留言這樣說，
「我看你屁股也沒有很翹嘛！還敢教人家練屁股。」
當下我完全不覺得生氣，
因為我以前更慘啦！#需要看before&after嗎？
扁身外加久坐練成的扁平屁股，
可是跟了我3、40年啊，
已經是熟門熟路的好朋友了嘛🤷♀️
這幾年才認真和它正面對決，
還沒運動以前我覺得腹肌很難練，
現在才知道真正的魔王是屁屁🤦♀️
臀部這裡的肌群要練起來真的是不容易的！
但我們不要輕言放棄，
有練有機會，不練呢？只好繼續扁屁屁。

需要看before 在 [討論] 電影裡的愛情-before sunrise & before sunset 的必吃
網誌版:
https://www.wretch.cc/blog/jazzstanley&article_id=12963285
關於電影裡的愛情，類型似乎不多，而在這裡我想討論一下用大量對白
建構出的這兩部片，似乎是較特別的形式。劇本精彩之外，男女主角的
互動也無比真實。也許還有人可以提出感動他們的愛情電影，以下就先由
我表達一下我的感想吧。
今天因為颱風天，又把before sunrise 以及 before sunset看了一次。
覺得這兩部片裡頭那種愛情真的很棒，雖然是延續的故事，但之間相隔
了九年，茱莉蝶兒與伊森霍克戲裡戲外也真真實實長了九歲。同樣的主角
卻詮釋了兩種本質相同，但因為時光流逝而稍有轉變的愛情。也許好電影
真的需要重複溫習，第一次看這兩部片時都被亢長的對白給弄得晃神。但
隱隱約約有種東西吸引著我，隨著一次次的溫習，自己年紀與愛情歷程也
跟著成長，就越來越被這兩部片感動。
before sunrise是那種第一眼的觸動，很接近一見鍾情那樣，而且屬於很
年輕的愛情，約略帶著青澀，兩個人的對應純真且自然，如同很多20幾歲
的愛情，如果我不在這一刻告訴你我的感覺，我60歲就會後悔。大概是
那樣的衝勁，很真很直接、也很動人。應該是最接近活在當下的愛情模式。
片中兩人在唱片行的listening booth試聽音樂時，兩人關在小空間裡，
伴隨著音樂、似有若無的情愫圍繞著，一人看著一人時都會不好意思的把
視線撇開，那種最底心的觸動深深寫在兩人臉上，歌詞也搭配的巧妙。讓
不敢說出口的話以音樂代替。
「你也不必再閃躲了，我知道你有點心動吧」一句歌詞就道出類似初戀的
悸動。
九年後，來到before sunset，劇中兩人也分隔了九年。但在維也納的那
一夜的回憶跟著他們長大成熟。此時愛情似乎還是隱隱約約存在，不過換了
時空、經歷了更多的人生體驗，也多了類似遺憾的成份，剛見面的生疏馬上
就被那些回憶給覆蓋過去。經過分享這九年彼此缺席的生活，愛情的模樣
像拼圖也一塊塊還原。與第一集相同的是很多的對話，不過更多了些成熟的
韻味，不直接卻露骨。也看得出來缺少了彼此的對方，各自生活這九年來
也有各自的無奈。可是假如當初兩人真的在一起，結果會如同重逢後如此
難忘嗎？也許這九年的別離反而是兩人愛情延續最好的沈澱。讓彼此了解
對方也許才是那真正唯一的真愛。
接近片尾茱莉蝶兒這才女也自彈自唱Waltz for a night這首抒情小調。
把缺憾中的愛情推上浪漫又懷念氛圍的巔峰，歌詞很深很深的表達了
茱莉蝶兒對於那晚愛情誕生的真實感動，也許也是伊森霍克同樣的心情。
無論我看了幾次，到這個橋段都會不爭氣的掉下淚來。一份感情經過時
間的醞釀，確實有著無比深厚的力道。
除此之外，這兩部片與一般愛情電影不同的是，把愛情經過與眾不同的滿
滿對白貫串，由彼此的人生觀、愛情觀、一些心中的真實感想經過對話，
建構出一種平淡卻無比深刻的愛情韻味。那樣的愛情比較像是透過靈魂而
互相吸引，而非單純的肉體來散發。因此更能經過時間的歷練而深刻。
--
我們幸運極了，
不確知自己活在甚麼樣的世界。
