【一起在Vogue 總部學英文吧】祝大家在連假好好 "decompress" 😀
最近為了一個新課程在建置一個超大型口說、寫作的語料庫,因此大量地分析了很多的文章、影集、和 podcasts 逐字稿分析。
也因此重看了 Vogue 的 73 Questions with XXX 系列特輯。這集訪問的是知名Hollywood 影星 Emily Blunt。在影片一開始,攝影者問了 Emily Blunt 為什麼在 Vogue? (因為很多影片是在名人家中拍攝):
Interviewer: Why are you here on the Vogue floor?
Emily: So, Anna is in Europe for the week, and she's asked me to take over the offices for her.
Interviewer: Big shoes to fill.
Emily: I know. Come with me.
1️⃣ So 在這邊是發語詞,不是因此
2️⃣ Anna 是知名、兇悍的 Vogue 主編 Anna Wintour,也是電影 The Devil Wears Prada 當中 Meryl Streep 真的在描繪的人。
3️⃣ she's asked me 是 she has asked me 的縮寫版
4️⃣ have big shoes to fill 這個在這邊代表的是「(因前人做太好) 工作不好做、責任重大的意思)」。這邊提供更精確的意思:to have to work really hard in order to live up to the high standards set by the person who had the job before you
5️⃣口語中,在回應你同意對方所說的、所描繪的狀況、情緒,他們很少用 I agree with you on that. (太正式) I know...I know right...是他們生活常講的。
在其中一幕, Vogue 裡的人叫 Emily 在兩條皮帶中選擇一條。她覺得很難抉擇,並說:It's a tough call. 這邊的 call 是決定、不是打電話。我們也常說 Good call! (好決定、挑得好)
在另外一幕,Emily 被問到她最喜歡的「放鬆」方式。Interviewer 問的是 Best way to decompress? Emily 說她會做 Transcendental Meditation (超覺靜坐)來放鬆。這邊的放鬆一字不是大家常見、常用的 relax. 也是我們可以記起來用用看的!
So guys, hope you all get to decompress over the long weekend!

"My Nasty Daughter", he said with a smile on his face.
he has always been impressed on how bad-ass of a person his daughter he had and how similar they both were.
they did not have the luxury of living under the same roof, the luxury of him cuddling her and being there for her if she ever wakes up from her nightmare and telling her it's all okay.
but they did manage to spend his last couple of years together,
In that short span,
he managed to get her hooked on tying knots and having fun with ropes just because he finds it fun and needed someone to like it as much as him,
he made sure she learned how to coach people to swim,
he made sure the mini-fridge of his is always stocked up with soy milk and her milo, because unlike him she does not like coffee,
he made sure he irritates her every single day, someday he shoots her from across the pool with toy guns, some days he just grabs her thighs super hard knowing she just did her legs-day in the gym,
he made sure he'd slide in some random life lessons hinting the daughter to change,
he made sure she knew that she was his life, even though he wasn't there for a big chunk of it,
he made sure people knew how beautiful his daughter is by printing out her pictures and pasting it in his pool counter so everybody can see how proud he was of his daughter,
he made sure his daughter will always have something to do in the pool by constantly messing up his tables and telling his daughter it's just 'organised mess',
he made sure that she knew that she was the most important thing to him in his whole life.
I have the weirdest yet coolest dad,
he was away from my life most of the time but yet he knows me the best,
he knew all my looks and what all of them meant,
he knew what I wanted in life and he never said no or discourage me no matter how absurd my dreams were,
he sure laughs at how pity my students are going to be when i told him I'm going to be a teacher,
he made sure he warns any guy that tries to hit on me,
he made sure he scares the shit out of any random guys who are interested with his baby girl,
he made sure people know if they hurt his daughter, they will have him to deal with,
he tells me random stories all the time, so random it would be how he decided to pour detergent powder in a public fountain and walked away just to cause chaos,
he loves his knives and his toy guns or shall i say he loves his toys because he would spend hours playing with them,
he is so random he likes to blast music right on my face just to give me a scare.
he made sure i go after what i want in life,
he made sure i wasn't too scared to live after knowing i was once involved in an abusive relationship,
he made sure i stepped up for myself,
he made sure i knew i was never the problem if i came out from relationships, he would simply say, nobody can handle my super intimidating daughter, i think Malaysians aren't up to your standards, expand your search, get a white boyfie !
he always giggles and calls me his nasty daughter and i call him satan for he is the main culprit for my nasty genes.
he always knew what to say to me even though i never mentioned my problems to him, he just knew.
I could not felt anymore broken when i was told he left me, he left the world.
knowing that nobody would ever know me as well as he would,
knowing that nobody would give up everything instantly for me as he would,
knowing that nobody would give up his life protecting me from ever getting hurt again.
I will always remember how happy you were walking around with that nonsense goggles i've gotten you and the high pitched scream when you got a skull-shaped wooden container.
i miss you papa.
i really do.
but i know you're here with me, protecting me whilst holding some big ass knife ;)

So the other day I heard about Liangtse Wellness, a high-end luxury Chinese spa that recently opened their first location in the United States right off New York City billionaire’s row. Their therapies include the standards like massage and foot baths but also more exotic treatments like 5 year aged moxibustion and cupping, made famous in the U.S. by Olympian Michael Phelps among others. I asked if I could stop by to try the traditional fire cupping and they were totally down!
They didn’t sponsor this video but they did give me 20 free cuppings to give away — check out my Instagram for contest details! Thanks so much to them — you can check them out on Yelp here: https://www.yelp.com/biz/liangtse-wellness-midtown-new-york

FAQ
Who/what are u?
I'm a Singaporean Chinese living in my homeland Singapore ??! I love makeup, skincare, traveling and etc!? I make beauty and lifestyle videos and upload every week (I try). If u like watching such content and if u have ANY questions/opinions/ideas, rmb to comment down below and SUBSCRIBE ❤️
Age?
I'm born in 1997, DO THE MATH?
What camera, software do u use?
Vlog camera : Canon G7x / IPhone 7 Plus camera
Tutorial camera : Canon 760d/ G7x
Software for editing : Final Cut Pro X /. imovie(when I'm lazy haha)
Makeup styles?
I love both korean and American beauty! Makes me ultra happy when I feel that my makeup is on fleek.
What type of skin do u have?
I have combination, acne prone, sensitive skin.
Both my cheeks are ultra dry but my forehead and nose are filled with oil/ sebum! Literally an oily disco ball..
Acne prone-- hmm I do have comedogenic pimples previously when I was a teenager. I guess from 16-19 yr old. This nightmare comes back when I don't sleep/eat well, drink enough H2O and when I'm under stress. I'm also prone to acne due to hormonal imbalances, thus I tend to breakout during pms.
Skincare colour match?
Too faced Born This Way Foundation - Porcelain
Fenty Beauty Foundation - Shade 140
For foundation I tend to go abit lighter due to korean cushion shades or even with American fluid foundation. I love powder foundation esp the Bare minerals one, cos it doesn't clog my pores and break me out.
{Colour correct my dark eye circles }
Nars radiant creamy concealer - Custard
Mac Pro long wear concealer - NC 25-30
{Highlighting concealer}
Tarte Shape tape Concealer - Light sand
