[生活美語] 國際戀情實境秀 90 Day Fiancé

我們已經看過許多關於Netflix熱門節目的Po文，例如《后翼棄兵》和《鬼滅之刃》，但到底什麼節目是許多美國人觀看的？

We’ve seen many posts discussing hit shows on Netflix like the Queen's Gambit and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, but what's a show that many Americans watch?

One show that has shot up in popularity is the reality-show 90 Day Fiancé, an American reality television series on TLC that follows couples who have applied for or received a K-1 visa, which is issued to the foreign fiancé or fiancée of an American citizen to enter the United States. A K-1 visa requires a foreigner to marry his or her U.S. citizen petitioner within 90 days of entry, or leave the United States. Once the couple marries, the foreign citizen can adjust status to become a Green Card holder of the United States.

1. shoot up in popularity 快速爆紅
2. reality TV shows 電視實境節目
3. apply for 申請
4. a K-1 visa 未婚夫(妻)類簽證
5. petitioner 申請人
6. within 90 days of entry 入境90天以內
7. adjust status 調整身份；調整地位
8. a Green Card holder 綠卡持有人

真人實境節目《到美國結婚去》是一個快速爆紅的節目。這是美國旅遊生活頻道(TLC)上的真人秀電視劇集，節目內容追蹤已申請或獲得K-1簽證夫婦的動態，該簽證是核發給美國公民的外國未婚夫或未婚妻合法進入美國的。 K-1簽證要求外國人在入境後90天內與他或她的美國公民申請人結婚，否則必須離開美國。一旦夫妻結婚後，外國公民可以調整身份並成為美國綠卡的持有人。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

The show has seven spin-offs, including 90 Day Fiancé: Self-Quarantined, which follows the lives of previous 90 Day Fiancé couples during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of the couples featured on the show have also risen to Internet stardom, with some now having over a million Instagram followers.

9. spin-offs 衍生作品
10. the COVID-19 pandemic 新冠肺炎流行病
11. be featured on 擔任；出演
12. rise to stardom 成為明星

該節目有7個衍生作品，其中包括《到美國結婚去：自我隔離》，它追蹤之前90天未婚夫婦在新冠肺炎大流行期間的生活。許多節目中的新人也已經成為網紅，其中一些現在擁有超過百萬的Instagram粉絲。

So, what’s all the fuss about another reality show? Mostly its intriguing concept: Can a blossoming international romance survive the US immigration system? From there, of course, it descends into hour-and-a-half-long episodes of drama, and by drama, I mean acrimony—bitter, mesmerizing acrimony.

13. What’s all the fuss about…? …有什麼好大驚小怪的?
14. intriguing concept 有趣的概念
15. blossoming romance 逐漸成熟的戀情
16. the us immigration system 美國的移民體系
17. descend into 演變成；陷入
18. an hour-long episode 一個小時的劇集
19. drama 戲劇; 紛亂 ; 麻煩 ; 大件事
20. acrimony 充滿尖酸刻薄字句的指責與衝突

那麼，這部真人實境秀又有什麼好令人大驚小怪的呢？主要是它有趣的概念：逐漸成熟的國際戀情是否能在美國移民體系中生存？當然，這個概念墮落成了一個半小時的鬧劇, 我指的是那種充滿尖酸刻薄字句的指責與衝突, 卻又令人目不轉睛。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

Some criticize the show for perpetuating stereotypes on race, ethnicity, and gender, while others claim that it showcases how love transcends all boundaries and borders. I won't spoil the entire show for you, but if you like the premise, check out the clips below. For most, it’s a guilty pleasure. Apparently, PewDiePie is also a “fan.”

21. perpetuate 使持續；使長存，使永恆
22. stereotypes 刻板印象
23. showcase (v.) 充分展示；展示…的優點
24. transcends all boundaries 超越所有的界限
25. spoil 使變壞
26. premise 前提
27. guilty pleasure 有罪惡感的愉悅
28. apparently 顯而易見地

一些人批評這個節目加深大眾對種族、民族和性別方面的刻板印象，而另一些人則主張該節目充分展示了愛情如何超越所有的界限與國界。我不會劇透整個節目，但是你喜歡這個劇情的前提下，請看下面的短片。對大眾而言，這是一種「有罪惡感的愉悅」。從以下的影片就可以看出（瑞典YouTube創作者）PewDiePie也是個「粉絲」。

[Internet Archive: “How to Hire the Best People” by Marc Andreessen]

There are a lot of great articles on the internet which early stage founders can read to improve their knowledge, today I’m sharing with some of you an old article published by Marc Andreeseen from 2007 - “How to Hire the Best People.”

This article is definitely not your usual “how to hire” article, in fact, it covers only 2 areas regarding hiring, but it brings incredible value and truth. Let’s begin with the Marc’s first area of interest:

To hire the best people, it’s about #Criteria: what to value when evaluating candidates.

Most startups make the mistake of copying how successful companies like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Amazon hire, making their decision mostly based on intelligence, aka degrees and qualifications. But there are many other factors that contribute to outstanding employees, and these factors play a much bigger role than intelligence.

Much like Venture Capital investing, one of the most important factors we look for in a founder is their motivation, or as Marc calls it - #Drive. Hiring for drive rather than intelligence will bring much more to your startup, simply because driven people are self-motivated and motivating unmotivated people is not easy.

The next important criteria to hire for is #Curiosity, simply put - passion for their craft. Anyone who is passionate about what they do, will be eager to learn, read, practice, and continuously immerse themselves in the craft, stay current with the trend or perhaps ahead of the trend, passionate people simply do this because they love what they do.

“The easiest way to be driven is to be in a field that you love, and you'll automatically be curious.” If you are a founder, this is the type of people you want to hire. If you are an employee, find a field that you truly loves and finds interesting, then, staying driven and curious will be easy. Would you rather be skiing uphill or downhill? One is exciting and fun, and the other is simply impossible.

The last but certainly not the least, is #Ethics. This is a hard one to tell simply from an interview, so background checks are a must. Marc warns us heavily about people with bad ethics, much like unmotivated people, unethical people are very unlikely to change. Marc suggests picking a topic which you know really well and ask hard questions, when they lie about the answer rather than admitting they don’t know, you should avoid these liars with a ten-foot pole.

To hire the best people, it’s about #Process: the logistics of the hiring

I won’t go too deep into this part, you can read the original article for better details. But to summarize, write down your process and questions you’d like to ask during the interview. Having consistency helps you and your team to Iterate, and only by refining your process and questions you’ll get a better match between candidates and the position.

Marc also warn us about not paying enough attention to red flags during the interview or reference checks. People often downplay the answers they receive or signals during the interview. From Marc’s experience, these signals are usually right, so unless you are completely convinced, you shouldn’t hire them.

----

It is not easy to get great talent, so once they come onboard, make sure to treat them well!! Getting great talent is one of the hardest part of being an early stage founder. I’ve only really covered 1/3 of the article, so I hope you’ll read the full text and take actions to improve your hiring process.

When I speak on stage about Self-Love, women often came to me later with tears in their eyes. What I shared was the truth that they’re meant to reclaim. That they deserve love. That they are lovable, with both their perfections and imperfect beauties - unconditionally, and no matter what. 💛

Hey bubbiful ones,


So here is the next Girl Talk video. This month's topic is highly requested and it's "How to get a Guy to Like You".

This topic is pretty broad. It can be defined in different ways such as from appearance and flirtation. I like to believe these methods are also effective but they are the temporary forms of attraction. Permanent attraction comes from Character and we will be talking about that today.

Everybody is different. You can't "make" somebody like you. All you can do is make the most out of your character.

Before you want somebody to accept you. You must accept yourself first and get your thinking right too. When you realize what matters most, you will automatically be at your most attractive.

I gathered input from all of the wonderful guy viewers out there and we'll be sharing what attracts them and puts them off in girls too. That'll be fun.

As always, the Girl Talk videos aren't about me being a pro because I'm not. It's just about ordinary real people getting together and sharing their experiences and opinions.

There is immense echo in this video because the new apartment is still pretty empty. Curtains are getting installed this week and hopefully it will absorb the echo better. I apologise about the sound because I'm going to admit editing this video was pretty ear piercing. I had to talk louder because my camera was quite far from me. Hopefully this will be fixed soon. Sorry Sorry ^^

Remember girls (and guys), take you time in finding the right one in you. Why the hurry? Never feel like you need to have somebody for the sake of fitting in. Most importantly- find somebody that brings out the best in you.

Stay beautiful everyone,

Much love, Bubz xx
