這首語用力驚人的詩,你讀過嗎?
來跟 Sonny老師的翻譯&教學札記 學簡單英文表達
以下為 Sonny 老師第一視角文字

在拜登的就職典禮上
22 歲非裔美籍詩人 Amanda Gorman 上台讀詩
這首詩的選字雖然平易近人
但巧妙運用了每個字詞的雙關和歧義
用寫作的角度來說,可謂語用力驚人
報導給出了這個主標題:
The Hill We Climb: the Amanda Gorman poem that stole the inauguration show
The Hill We Climb 是詩的標題
steal the show 指「搶盡風采」
inauguration 就是「就職典禮」
副標題這麼說:
The 22-year-old poet wowed the crowd with her reading during Joe Biden’s swearing-in
wow the crowd 指「讓群眾驚豔」,wow 當動詞有「讓人說 wow 」的意思
swearing-in 指「宣誓就職」
接著讓我們一起來讀詩的第一節:
When day comes, we ask ourselves where can we find light in this never-ending shade?
(當白晝降臨,我們問著自己:在無盡的陰影中如何找到光亮?)
👉 light(光亮)和 shade(陰影)對比
👉 never-ending 永不結束的
The loss we carry, a sea we must wade.
(我們承受著失去,還須度過一片汪洋。)
👉 lose 是動詞,loss 是名詞
👉 wade 指「涉水而過」
We’ve braved the belly of the beast.
(我們抵擋著艱險危殆。)
👉 brave 當動詞用,有「勇敢面對、敢於承受」的意思
👉 belly of the beast 意指「非常危險的境地」
We’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace,
(我們知曉沉默不代表和睦)
👉 learn 除了「學習」,還有「知道」的意思
and the norms and notions of what “just” is isn’t always justice.
(「正直」的思維和規範,不一定等同正義)
👉 norms and notions 押頭韻 (alliteration),吸引讀者注意力
👉 just 可以當 justice 的形容詞,例如:a just/ an unjust man(一個正直/不正直的人)
And yet, the dawn is ours before we knew it.
(然而在我們知曉之前,黎明就屬於我們)
Somehow we do it.
(我們終究挺了過來)
👉 somehow 原意為「不知怎地」,常用來形容「非常艱難、不知怎麼辦到」
Somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken,
but simply unfinished.
(我們歷盡滄桑,親眼看見一個國家並非殘破,只是尚未完整)
👉 weather 當動詞時指「遭受風雨吹打」、witness 指「目擊」
👉 能想到 weathered and witnessed 兩個 w 的組合,功力非常高強
光是一個詩節
就有太多靈活但又不會太難的單字用法
值得我們攝取學習
所以建議大家養成沒事就翻翻英文報章的習慣
隨時 pick up 幾個單字或表達方式
把學習英文融入自己的生活中
才能維持學習動力,不斷進步!

42 year old man 在 Daphne Iking Facebook 的最佳貼文
What do sexual offenders do what they do? Especially those who do it upon those they are supposed to be protecting? This pains me so.
This is one of the reasons why I sat down to understand Child Law for a semester with Dr Farah Nini in UM 2 years ago was because of the rampant news like this. My two older girls are hitting puberty and Azmi has gently reminded that they need to cover up their modesty and gets very shy when they still prance around naked at home and will walk off with a dramatic sigh - a nuance he does in hope to strike a balance between "you are developing girls now and though I'm your father, it makes me feel uncomfortable" to "embrace, love and respect your growing body as you are beautiful"
There's a reason why there is the surah asking men to lower their gaze when they approach a woman who is not muhrim.
Oh I pray for the two girls. 6 and 9 years old! Sigh.

Kobe Bryant, often unstoppable, played at a
higher level than even he imagined possible.
The Los Angeles Lakers' star scored a phenomenal 81 points
Sunday night -- the second-highest total in NBA history -- in a
122-104 victory over the Toronto Raptors.
Only Wilt Chamberlain's storied 100-point game nearly 44 years
ago ranks higher.
"Not even in my dreams," Bryant said. "That was something
that just happened. It's tough to explain. It's just one of those
things.
"It really hasn't, like, set in for me. It's about the `W,'
that's why I turned it on. It turned into something special. To sit
here and say I grasp what happened, that would be lying."
The Lakers trailed by as many as 18 points early in the third
quarter, angering Bryant.
"He was ticked off," teammate Lamar Odom said.
When asked what Bryant said at that stage, Odom replied:
"Nothing. That's when it's bad."
Bryant scored 51 points after the Raptors extended a 63-49
halftime lead to 71-53. The Lakers outscored the Raptors 38-14 to
finish the third quarter to go ahead for good.
"That was incredible, remarkable," Odom said.
Bryant, the NBA's leading scorer, left to a standing ovation
with 4.2 seconds remaining, having shot 28-of-46 from the floor,
including 7-of-13 from 3-point range, and 18-of-20 from the foul
line.
With the 18,997 fans at Staples Center chanting "MVP! MVP!"
Bryant made two free throws with 43.4 seconds remaining for his
final points. He scored 27 points in the third quarter, 28 in the
fourth.
"We are on a journey, and to put on a show like this for the
fans here in L.A. is truly something special," Bryant said. "I
grew up in front of these people, and now they are seeing me as an
older, young man."
The 27-year-old Bryant joined the Lakers out of high school, and
is in his 10th NBA season.
Chamberlain scored 100 points for Philadelphia against the New York Knicks at Hershey, Pa., on March 2, 1962, shooting 36-of-63 from the field and 28-of-32 from the foul line while playing all 48 minutes.
Chamberlain had 59 points in the second half -- the only player
with more points in a half than Bryant's 55 after halftime in this
game.
Chamberlain's second-highest total was 78 against the Lakers in
three overtimes on Dec. 8, 1961.
Michael Jordan's career high was 69 points, and only four
players had ever scored more than 70 -- Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor,
David Thompson and David Robinson.
Bryant made it five. His previous career high was 62 points
during a 112-90 victory over Dallas last month -- he sat out the
fourth quarter because of the one-sided nature of the game.
"I was just determined. I was just locked in, tuned into what
was going on out there," Bryant said. "These points tonight
mattered. We needed them. The points I put in the basket were
instrumental. It means a lot more."
Bryant raised his scoring average to an NBA-leading 35.9 points
this season.
"I never imagined I would see history like that," said Devean
George, a teammate of Bryant's with the Lakers for 6½ seasons. "I
can't tell you where that came from. He just kept attacking,
attacking, attacking -- every time he got the ball."
Bryant played nearly 42 minutes, going the entire second half
until being lifted by coach Phil Jackson.
Jackson coached Jordan and the Chicago Bulls to six
championships in the 1990s and the Lakers, with Bryant and
Shaquille O'Neal, to three more titles, from 2000-02.
"That was something to behold," Jackson said. "It was another
level. I've seen some remarkable games, but I've never seen one
like that before."
Baylor held the Lakers' previous franchise record of 71 points
at New York on Nov. 15, 1960. Lakers special assistant Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, saw that game,
too.
"Elgin's game was an incredible performance, also,"
Abdul-Jabbar said. "I don't think there's any comparison. Elgin
did it without 3-point lines. His game was attacking the hoop and
hitting jumpers inside 20 feet. Kobe's range is unreal, and he does
it his way.
"It was a real treat. His ability to shoot from long range and
also attack the hoop, split the defense and get in close for
opportunities near the basket is unique. He's made a niche for
himself, and he deserves it."

Shaquille O'Neal, the man with four rings, 28,596 career points and scores of nicknames, has finally decided to call it quits, ending one of the most colorful careers in NBA history that will surely culminate with a Hall of Fame induction.
O'Neal, 39, officially announced his retirement Wednesday using the new social media tool Tout, a real-time video messaging service.
"Once a businesman, always a businessman," O'Neal said, smiling. "I am the emperor of the social media network. Why text when you can Tout?"
O'Neal signed a two-year contract with the Boston Celtics last summer but a persistent Achilles injury will prevent him from fulfilling the terms of the deal. O'Neal first injured his right Achilles on Christmas Day and was able to play only in two of the final 35 games of the regular season.
On April 3 against Detroit, O'Neal returned to the court after a two-month absence and scored six points in a spirited 5 minutes and 29 seconds before coming up lame and limping off the floor. Although his injury was listed as a strained calf, O'Neal said it was the Achilles flaring up again.
"I felt like someone had shot me in the back of my leg," he said.
O'Neal did not play again in the regular season. He sat out the New York Knicks playoff series then tried to return in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against his old team, the Miami Heat. O'Neal logged 8 1/2 minutes in the 97-81 victory but woke up in considerable pain the next morning. His final game was two days later, when he toiled for three minutes of Game 4 before Celtics coach Doc Rivers pulled him for good.
In the final weeks of the the playoffs, O'Neal, over the objections of team physician Brian McKeon, had "more than five" cortisone shots in his Achilles in an attempt to play against the Heat.
"Doc (McKeon) kept telling me, 'No, no,' but I wanted to play so badly," O'Neal said. "My feeling was, 'If it ruptures, it ruptures.' The Celtics were so good to me I wanted to do everything I could to get back on the court for them."
Throughout his time on the sideline, Shaq said, he continued to do rehab as well as work on the treadmill and the exercise bike. He swam each evening at the Thoreau Club in Concord and shot a number of late-night free throws in at the Lincoln-Sudbury High School gymnasium across the street from his rented Sudbury home. He lost 35 pounds and was "feeling great everywhere except for that one little spot behind my heel."
Shaq said McKeon recommended surgery that would "clean up" the area around the Achilles, but O'Neal revealed the recovery time would be close to nine months.
"I really, really thought about coming back," he said, "but this Achilles is very damaged and if I had it done the recovery would be so long we'd have same outcome as this last year -- everyone sitting around and waiting for me.
"I didn't want to let people down two years in a row. I didn't want to hold Boston hostage again.
"I'm letting everybody know now so Danny (Ainge) and the organization can try to get younger talent. I would love to come back, but they say once the Achilles is damaged it's never the same. I don't want to take that chance."
O'Neal said his final months in Boston included some of the darkest days of his career because "I just hated to let the city of Boston down. I really grew to love the place. Everyone was so welcoming to me and treated me so great. They believed in me and they took care of me, especially the great people of Sudbury. I love that town."
O'Neal also had effusive praise for Rivers, whom, he said, was "one of the best I ever played for."
"I thought Doc was fabulous," O'Neal said. "He stressed 'team' all the time, never wavered on that. He kept everyone together. He's an amazing coach. I want to congratulate him on his five years (extension).
"He deserves it. He loves the organization, loves the players, and we all love him back."
O'Neal is acutely aware the Celtics posted a record of 21-4 when he was able to play 20 or more minutes this season. The chemistry he shared with the Big Three (Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen) and Rajon Rondo, he said, will be an enduring memory, leaving him to wonder what would have happened had he stayed healthy.
"We were supposed to win this year but 'supposed' doesn't count," he said. "The path was there for us. All the so-called super powers were gone -- LA, San Antonio. I really feel if I was on the court we would have done it, but I don't believe in 'ifs.' "
O'Neal said he wasn't prepared yet to reminisce about his long and prolific career, which produced three championships with the Lakers and one with the Heat. "Let's save that for the press conference on Friday," said O'Neal, who will hold that media event at his Isleworth home.
