川普臉書帳號被停權?
週五晚上,來和 Sonny老師的翻譯&教學札記 一起讀報
以下為 Sonny 老師第一視角

昨晚讀 CNN Newsletters 時
讀到一段用字精準、簡潔有力的報導
來帶大家一起閱讀
標題:Facebook faces a huge decision today
1️⃣ The Facebook Oversight Board will announce its long-anticipated decision on the fate of former President Trump's Facebook account at 9 a.m. ET today.
(臉書獨立監察團今天將在美國東岸時間 9:00 ,宣布前總統川普臉書帳號的命運,這是個大眾矚目許久的決議。)
👉 oversight 有「監察、督導」之意,動詞是 oversee
👉 announce 宣布,常見的搭配還有 make an announcement(發表聲明)
👉 long-anticipated 等待許久的,英文新聞中常使用「複合形容詞」,閱讀起來更生動傳神
2️⃣ Trump’s Facebook and Instagram accounts were suspended indefinitely a day after the Capitol riot in January. (YouTube and Twitter made similar moves.)
(今年一月國會大廈暴動的隔天,川普的臉書和 IG 帳號即被無限期停用。YouTube 和 Twitter 也有類似的動作。)
👉 suspend 是非常值得學習的動詞,有「停權;暫緩;懸掛」等字義
👉 indefinitely 可指「無限期的」或「含糊的」
👉 make similar moves 是簡潔有力的說法,很適合用在寫作上
3️⃣ The decision on Trump’s Facebook account is so contentious and historic, Facebook itself isn’t doing the deliberating. The oversight board is an independent body described as a kind of Supreme Court for the social network.
(針對川普臉書帳號的決議事關重大且爭議性高,生殺大權並不在臉書手上。獨立監察團是個被稱為「社群網路的最高法院」的獨立單位。)
👉 contentious and historic 兩個形容詞互不重複,是很棒的連用
👉 deliberate 指「審慎考慮」;isn’t doing the deliberating 是很美式的說法
👉 social network 指「社群網路」;social media 則是「社群媒體」
4️⃣ Its decision today will set extremely important precedents for content moderation that could ripple through the social media -- and political -- worlds.
(監察團今日的決定將成為內容審查的重要判例,影響可能擴及社群媒體及政界。)
👉 precedent (n.) 先例;判例/ unprecedented (adj.) 史無前例的
👉 content moderation 內容審查;言論仲裁
👉 ripple 當名詞時指「漣漪」,當動詞引申為「漾起漣漪;造成影響」
獨立監察團的最後決議為:
繼續停權川普帳號,但要求臉書在 6 個月內提出「扣合其社群平台規則的處置方式」。

總是覺得自己語用力不足
每次寫英文都找不到適合的詞句嗎?

“For a few days only, let’s share uplifting, inspiring stories and videos about Singapore and keep our Facebook wall and Instagram feeds positive and glowing. Stay away from those articles calling out the Government for its lack of humility and respect when it responds to media commentators. Do not Like and Share articles that diss the Government or Singapore. For a few days at least, let’s suspend our natural bickering selves and show the world our nice smiling faces."
- ST writer Chua Mui Hoong.
Oh, put on our smiles like the North Korean village of Kijong-dong a.k.a. Peace Village?
Actually the article above started out:
"For a few days only, let's share uplifting...

Which is great. Please stay behind the paywall and spare us all this condescension and nonsense.
One of my commenters from my personal FB account summed it up perfectly: “KNN gong SMLJ.”
