🌻台灣仍在居家隔離期. 台灣居住空間較小, 居家隔離難度較高. 尤其這次面對的病毒也比較凶猛. 祝大家平安. 在此提供一些當時我居家隔離時所做的一些事情, 供大家參考:

--對家人睜一隻眼, 閉一隻眼. 一家人天天在一起難免會有不順的時候, 不過能夠在一起很珍貴.
--買香料公司已經調好的香料包做料理. 這樣省時間, 也可以不用傷腦筋, 也讓煮飯多了點變化(可參考這網站: https://www.mccormick.com/spices-and-flavors/recipe-mixes/mccormick-one)
--做手工藝(當時有做一個花圈wreath)
--看書, 看劇, 在線上與股友聊天, 看年報, 整理財報內容
--多睡覺
--研究園藝, 在家裡養了很多綠色植物
--整理家裡, 做收納, 移動家具
--晚上喝點小酒, 解壓助眠(不過要注意有可能會胡言亂語😅)

🌻俄亥俄州 躍全球太陽能重鎮
顧問公司Wood Mackenzie統計，去年美國太陽能新增發電量創新高，且2030年前將再增加三倍。First Solar表示，俄亥俄州太陽能面板園區未來主要供應美國市場。近年太陽能產業多數零件來自中國，尤其在去年疫情爆發後，美國重大產業過度依賴海外供應鏈的風險激增，令拜登政府誓言重振美國製造業，並大力推動綠能產業發展。

🌻華爾街日報選文(中文)
最近花了不少時間看報紙, 發現報紙還真好看, 除了學到不少財經知識外, 華爾街日報(WSJ)有些文章都挺有深度的. 有時候還一邊看一邊畫重點.

Anyway. 發現這個中文網站, 會翻譯一些WSJ的好文章. 值得書籤(bookmark)起來:

🌻去年很多EV方面的新公司或是小公司. 這篇文章的觀點挺好, 說做EV, 要能夠scale(規模化地拓展)也很重要: https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-electric-vehicle-stocks-are-stuck-in-reverse-11622709998

"Still, the classic Silicon Valley disruption story isn’t playing out in the auto industry as once expected. With their big batteries, EVs are shaping up to be an industrial product that benefits from the kind of industrial scale 20th century manufacturers are good at. This advantage may not persist as other, software-based automotive technologies take off—in-vehicle internet and ultimately automated driving. But these are probably questions for another year."

🌻信任(trust)
這兩天看了一部電影and一本書的評論, 發現觸及的主題是一樣的: 信任.

電影是Disney Plus上面的"巡龍使者: 拉雅". 書是一本新書"The Power of Giving Away Power".

我發現一個團體要把事情做好, 重要的不是每個人的能力有多強, 而是彼此能否信任. 當大家都有共識(英文有個片語是, "on the same page"), 有同樣的目標的時候, 事情會好辦很多. 但這其實不容易做到(就像電影中的Raya一樣, 還必須先犧牲自己, 才能說服夥伴.)

Anyway. 覺得這題材挺有趣的, 也是生活中常碰到的事情. 分享給大家.

#道地英文 #外國留言

這張照片可愛嗎？你給幾分？


看到國外帥哥美女的養眼照片，你好想留言寫下：

「滿分是 10 分，我給你 9 分」

英文可以這樣說：”On a scale of 1 to 10, you’re a 9.“ 

Scale 是「刻度、等級」的意思，所以上面這句英文就是，如果評分共有 1-10 級，你認為對方拿到 9 分，很高分的意思。



而如果是你要問別人，請別人給你評價，可以用這樣的句型：


“How would you rate … on a scale of 1 to 10?”

滿分是 5 分，你給我的 podcast 打幾分？
How would you rate my podcast on a scale of 1 to 5?


“How ____ am I on a scale of 1 to 10?”

滿分是 10 分，我跟 Leo 有多可愛呢？
How cute are we on a scale of 1 to 10?


請問，How cute are we on a scale of 1 to 10?

留言作答！

“你做得再多永遠不夠，但放手一搏就對了” 歐巴馬得到諾貝爾和平獎後，感受到過去爭取和平自由的勇士們內心的吶喊

“Whatever you do won’t be enough, I heard their voices say. Try anyway.”

十分應景的一本書。沉甸甸的八百多頁花了好久才讀完。如果以個人故事來說，我喜歡他妻子蜜雪兒歐巴馬的自傳。但做8年美國總統的視角，其中的精采和豐富經驗絕，非一般書籍可以看到。歐巴馬的文筆相當好（我這次讀中文版都可以感覺到。也感謝出版社翻譯得如此到位！），從他的筆下可以一窺這精彩的8年這位大國領袖如何思考世界各種大事。（這裡是讀書心得分享，沒有要討論政治喔！）

讀這本書最大的感想就是美國許多議題上的兩極化，並不是現在才開始的。從二戰後許多的事件堆疊在一起，再加上飛行越來越方便，兩黨國會議員並不是都住在華府，彼此和彼此家庭之間沒有像以前那樣的互動，讓跨黨派合作推動重要議題的難度加高。歐巴馬一就任，要先面對2008年金融危機的問題，以及後來處理健保的問題，都可以看見爭取雙方合作的難度之高。

再來他從參議員快速竄起，並且後來成為總統，他自己都形容是由一種神奇的動能(momentum) 在推進的這一切。這當中他成功的使用網路的力量，在小額募款以及理念的傳播上，都比對手更加善用。但他也承認後來許多議題的推動，甚至是演講時不小心說錯話，還有許多決策未明時的各種小道消息，同樣也因著網路的力量，變得更難溝通更難釐清了。當時被競爭對手碰及經驗不足的他，的確展現了快速學習，找出中心思想的能力。他敘述如何組織各式團隊，找出當中的菁英，並且能夠對各種議題快速學習，到能夠判斷專家們給他的建議，都是很值得借鏡的精神。

為什麼要取名為“應許之地”呢？我認為就像以色列人出埃及的故事一般，通往自由的應許之地，路程往往比想像中的更漫長，但絕對值得世代合作努力，走到那樣的一個願景。他在美國人一片期望改變的聲浪中當選總統，帶著熱情的理想個性努力著，卻也深深的體會到期望值過高時，人們容易放棄希望的傾向。寫這本自傳，除了誠實地盤點自己的經歷之外，歐巴馬也是在傳達這一種堅毅的盼望 -- 真正自由平等的社會雖然路途遙遙，甚至一個世代難以完成，但絕對值得放手一搏去努力，並且相信一代一定比一代更好。

“The truth is, I’ve never been a big believer in destiny. I worry that it encourages resignation in the down-and-out and complacency among the powerful. I suspect that God’s plan, whatever it is, works on a scale too large to admit our mortal tribulations; that in a single lifetime, accidents and happenstance determine more than we care to admit.”

（其實我從來就不是一個堅決相信宿命的人，為我認為那樣的想法會讓卑微的人放棄努力而有權力的人維持現狀。我猜測上帝的計畫，不管那計畫是什麼，遠超過我們有限生命的苦難。這一個人的有生年日，意外和機運對我們的影響，超過我們所願意承認的範圍）

又要來推坑阿滴桌遊啦！這次要來玩的是戰鎚冥土世界，有興趣的話可以點以下連結：https://www.warhammer-world.info/home/product_detail/15

Warhammer Underworlds is a tactical arena combat game. This is a system designed for balanced, small-scale tactical games that can be played quickly and easily by anyone, but which even experienced players will find challenging to master. The game rules are designed with competitive play in mind; matches can be played in under 45 minutes, on a smaller surface than our larger-scale games, and will be ideal for club or tournament play. And not only that, we’ll be fully supporting an organized play system for this game, right from day one.

The forces you can use in this game will be drawn from races across the Mortal Realms, including some for factions that have not received any new miniatures since we first ventured into the Age of Sigmar. Each of these sets will be composed of a small band of easy-to-assemble, push-fit miniatures in the style of our single-pose heroes to represent a specific band of warriors from that faction. These are provided in coloured plastic, and clip together, so you can quite literally be playing with them within minutes of opening the box with no glue or paint needed! (Though they do look great painted, and your dice will roll better – probably.)

The game is played using unique dice and card decks, and these will, to an extent, be unique to each faction. Both decks of cards used in the game are fully customisable – meaning you can choose to create all manner of combinations of overlapping abilities to use and objectives to achieve. This can be a really rewarding part of the game – and means that even the same faction can be played in wildly different ways. We’re expecting to see all sorts of combinations tried out at game stores, clubs and in tournaments.
希德塔的鏡像城市是幻想和瘋狂的噩夢，不斷變化的迷宮，無盡的樓梯，狹窄的街道和高聳的拱門。原來的城市失去了各種顏色和生命，幾千年來，它已經成為一種不詳的毀滅。那些踏入城牆的不幸，勇敢或莽撞的冒險家，穿過國界之間的帷幕，被困在鏡城之中。對於這樣的頑固的人，所有的希望似乎都失去了。

戰鎚

#戰鎚

規則錯誤部分如下：
●1:13－其實是鎚子，不是斧頭。
●8:17－首領讓攻擊擲骰重擲的能力，必須在投擲攻擊骰之前宣告使用。
●12:35－每輪的先後決定擲骰是四顆，不是五顆。
●12:56－阿滴的攻擊擲骰是1爆擊、1鎚、1劍，粒方的雖然也1爆擊，但比較完爆擊後，要比較一般成功的數量。索奧奇的攻擊行動是成功符號是鎚，阿滴還有1鎚，粒方已經沒有其他成功骰，所以該該次的攻擊行動是成功的。
●15:38－野獸人的激勵條件是敵方戰幫有兩名或更多鬥士陣亡，而不是全場。不過這是官方中文版本身印刷的問題（英文是正確的）。

論文摘要
現今社會，成年人有著來自社會與生活的多方壓力，而這種壓力需要釋放，以慰藉情感，供成年人把玩之玩具就可作為釋放壓力的一個途徑。
過去人們認為玩具是兒童的專利，成年人如果玩玩具就會被認為是不務正業。但隨著時代的不斷變化，人們對於玩具的認識也更加豐富和多元化，成年人在情感需求之要求下，也希望通過玩具來使情感需求得到滿足，
在NPD調查的12個玩具市場中，全球最大的玩具市場—美國2017年銷售額比2016年增長了1%，達207億美元。而中國也僅次於美國成為全球第二大玩具消費市場。
「公仔」(Figure)為玩具之其一分類，這個詞源自70年代香港、澳門，是世界動漫產業興盛發展的新辭彙。然而目前市面上普遍為歐美系與日系公仔居多，相較少有屬於中國文化之公仔。因此，實體化中國文學角色並符合現代潮流的公仔設計為本研究之創作動機。
本創作以少人著墨之鐵扇公主和牛魔王角色為目標，兩角色似中國版美女與野獸，有著獨特的設計與衝突的美感，藉由ZBrush為數位雕刻並以光固化3D列印實體化，創作出古典與現代二款造型之潮流創意公仔。


People are experiencing pressures coming from various sources like, from our society and life. We need ways to release those pressures. Toys made for adults may serve as one of the great ways to release our stress.
Having fun with toys has been regarded as children’s privilege in old days. Adults would be considered childish if they were found playing with toys. As time goes by, however, people now a days, have different points of view about toys. Grownups, now a days are having emotional needs as well, to be met and some of them can be achieved through spending time and energy on toys.
A survey conducted by NPD (NPD Group, Inc.) on the 12 major toy markets over the globe shows that the world's largest toy market—the USA market sales increased by 1% up to a total of 20.7 billion US dollars in 2017 compared to the sales number in 2016. China, though second only to the US market for toys, does not have much of its own culture or literature related in any toy products.
"Figures ", also known as “Gong-zai” in Chinese communities, is one of the toys’ categories. This word, originated from Hong Kong and Macao way back 1970s, it is a relatively new term for the worldwide booming animation industry. American, European, and Japanese figures overwhelming dominate current toy markets and only few Chinese figures can be found among them. In the light of this phenomenon, the ideas to make figures from famous characters in Chinese fictions or literatures that follows the modern features of figures transform the motivation of this research.
The figures created for this research are the roles called “Princess Iron-Fan” and “Bull Demon King” which are famous but less mentioned. They are like the Chinese version of Beauty and the Beast, which are innovative crafted and exhibit the conflicting beauty. The software ZBrush is used for digital engraving and a photo-curing 3D printer modeling. The final products are characters with two different styles--classic and modern ones.
