老師開頭以同婚合法作為 平權的 achievement,接著這句反思,教你「涉及」的正式論述句可以怎麼寫:
It is in relation to this achievement that we shall examine some disconcerting developments that show there are still bigoted views that are holding the region back.
「貶損人的」怎麼講?
For example, derogatory comments recently made at a press conference by Taipei’s mayor about gay people indicate that there is prejudice in some of the nation’s politicians.
「偶爾才公然袒露醜陋面貌的歧視」(好會寫!)
In stark contrast to the discrimination that only occasionally rears its ugly head in public in Taiwan, other countries in the region are regressing much more significantly.
後面就是批判中國封鎖同志帳號的人權大倒退😢

Meghan and Harry Interview
梅根和哈利的專訪
Filter 滲入/過濾
Tabloid 小報
Bigoted 心胸狹隘的/有偏見的/偏執的
Speculate 猜測/推測
Decline 拒絕/減少
The Duke of Sussex has said racism from the tabloid press that filtered into the rest of society was a large part of why he and his wife left the UK.
薩塞克斯公爵說過,來自小報的種族歧視滲透到社會當中,是他和妻子離開英國的一大部分原因。
Prince Harry told Oprah Winfrey that the UK tabloid media is "bigoted" and creates a toxic environment of "control and fear".
哈利王子告訴歐普拉,英國的小報是”偏執的”,並創造了”控制和恐懼”的有毒環境。
In the much-anticipated interview with Oprah, Harry and Meghan covered a range of deeply personal topics, including racism, mental health, their relationship with the media and Royal Family dynamics.
在期盼已久與歐普拉的專訪中,哈利和梅根談了一系列深入私人話題,包含歧視,心理健康,以及他們與媒體的關係和王室家庭的動態。
US President Joe Biden's press secretary, Jen Psaki, said it had taken courage for Harry and Meghan to tell their own personal story and speak about struggles with mental health.
美國總統拜登的新聞秘書莎琪說,哈利和梅根講述個人故事以及與心理健康的掙扎,是需要勇氣的。
Asked about the claims that the Royal Family had failed to look after the Sussexes' mental health and that one family member had speculated on their unborn child's skin color, Prime Minister Boris Johnson declined to comment, except to say he "always had the highest admiration for the Queen and the unifying role she plays".
當被問及王室沒能顧到薩塞克斯公爵與夫人的心理健康,以及有一名家庭成員猜測他們未出生的孩子膚色的說法時,首相強森拒絕發表評論,只有說他”向來對女王以及她所扮演的整合角色有最高的讚賞”。
bigoted 在 Sam Tsang 曾思瀚 Facebook 的最佳貼文
The voice of Shaun King, a Black activist.
Hate crimes, violence, and harassment against Asian-Americans have dramatically skyrocketed in this country over the past year. This is not fake news. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is not propaganda. This is not Asian-Americans trying to steal the spotlight from African Americans. It’s math. And it matters. Let me explain why.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” --Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
I have tried to live by those words from Dr. King for the past 25 years. And I actually believe them. It’s really easy to think that what happens to one group of people that you aren’t a part of has NOTHING to do with you and won’t affect or impact you in any way at all, but that’s just not how this country works. Injustice against one group of people absolutely impacts justice for all of us.
Now, as a principle, I try to fight back against the mistreatment of people whether I think it impacts my world or not, but what I want to teach you today is that being permissive or dismissive of the mistreatment of people will ALWAYS make us all less safe. These words from Martin Niemöller come to mind…
"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."
When we allow one group of people to be spit on, called racist names, punched, slapped, pushed, and mauled - it lowers the bar of what’s acceptable in this country for all people - period. If you are OK with Asian American children or senior citizens being spit on and called “China virus” then just understand that it’s only a matter of time until that ugliness spreads to children and senior citizens that you know and love. We have to reject all of it. We have to fight back against all of it. We have to take all of it personally.
I posted about this on Instagram and Facebook earlier this morning - and I want to address a few recurring themes that I saw in the comments.
A lot of my Black followers said something to the effect of, “But when do they ever speak up or fight for us?”
Every day. I see Asian Americans fighting and advocating and speaking out for Black folk every single day. I see them marching. I see them posting about injustices against Black folk on social media. I see them in planning meetings. Everywhere - from coast to coast.
If you aren’t seeing what I’m seeing, this is because you likely aren’t following who I’m following and guess what? You see who and what you follow. You don’t see who and what you don’t follow. But I follow hundreds of Asian American activists and leaders because I have hundreds of Asian American friends - many are as close to me as family. But if you literally don’t have a single Asian American friend, it’s probably very much the case that you don’t see them speaking up for us - but that says more about you than it does to them.
A lot of my Black followers said something to the effect of, “But what about those horrible videos of Asian people mistreating Black people around the world.”
I’ve seen those videos. They are horrible. Do you know why? Some Asian people are horrible and bigoted. Do you know why? Because every ethnic group has people that are good, bad, ugly and everything in between. Period. I’ve also seen multiple videos of Black people horribly mistreating Asian people. Does that mean all Black people are bad? Of course it doesn’t. This world has BILLIONS of African and Asian people around the world. We can’t judge BILLIONS of people off of the actions of a few. And here’s the thing - I have consistently seen Asian-American people speak out against the injustices of Asians against Black people, but again, I see that, because of who I follow, know, and trust.
But let me be even more specific - if an Asian man in Kenya does something ugly to an African, that should never mean that we then turn a blind eye to an Asian-American child being spit on in New York City. That’s foolishness. And let’s be honest, we’d never want the reverse done to us.
Race and racism are both complex and painful. Our nation, and this whole world, honestly, are so deeply mired in a ping pong of racism and violence, that people’s nerves are rightly frayed. I understand. Mine are frayed as well, but I am choosing to interrupt the status quo by speaking out. And personally, I do this without the expectation of anything in return. I am speaking out because the mistreatment of people because of their race or ethnicity or national origin is always wrong.
