#蕭叔叔講莎士比亞【煽動顛覆分裂國家的文字】
[明報專訊]話說四月二十三號是英國大文豪莎士比亞的四百週年忌辰,不少英美作家都在不同的傳媒寫文拍片悼念這位argubly是英國語文最偉大的作家。蕭叔叔也湊湊熱鬧,在自己的Facebook專頁做講故佬,拍幾段短片分享自己最喜歡的莎劇對白。今天蕭叔叔選了其中一段同大家分享,這段來自莎士比亞的歷史悲劇Julius Caesar凱薩大帝。這段文字不太出名,但是很有「火」,很具煽動性。
話說古羅馬時代的凱撒大帝打了幾場勝仗,在左右手Mark Anthony協助下準備稱帝,打算獨攬國家的權力。當地的仕紳豪族當然不願,於是密謀刺殺凱撒。蕭叔叔選的這段對白,說話的是仕紳Cassius,對象是同樣是當地貴族的Casca。
Cassius:
And why should Caesar be a tyrant then?
Poor man! I know he would not be a wolf,
But that he sees the Romans are but sheep:
He were no lion, were not Romans hinds.
Those that with haste will make a mighty fire
Begin it with weak straws: what trash is Rome,
What rubbish and what offal, when it serves
For the base matter to illuminate
So vile a thing as Caesar!
頭三句的大意是:為什麼凱撒能成為獨裁者?為什麼他會成為嗜血,嗜權的豺狼?歸根究底,是因為羅馬人都是乖巧聽話服從的綿羊。留意第三句的but字,不是「但是」的意思,而是「只是」。所以Romans are but sheep意思是:羅馬人只是綿羊。
第四句是差不多意思,假如羅馬人不是容易捕獲的羚羊,獵物,凱撒又怎能成為這頭猛獅?留意後半句用了倒裝的詞序,以表達condition的語氣。用比較常見的詞序寫,這後半句是:if Romans were not hinds.
中文有句說話:星星之火,可以燎原,是說熊熊的山火,也是由零星火頭開始的,指做大事不怕開始時力量微薄。想不到莎士比亞的文字也有相似的一句:Those that with haste will make a mighty fire begin it with weak straws. 大意:熊熊烈火,也是由小小的稻草開始的。Cassius說這句話的意思很明顯:凱撒好像力強勢大,但拯救羅馬的大業,就是由我們這些小勢力開始的。
最後一句很長,句式複雜,但意思深遠,用字狠辣,大家可以學學。蕭叔叔試翻譯為現代英文:Rome is only trash and rubbish and offal, if all it does is to serve as the fuel for the fire that brightens up so horrible a thing as Caesar. 中文大意:假如我們把羅馬用作照耀凱撒這個壞人的燃料,那它羅馬就只是個垃圾山。
在Cassius銳利的詞鋒下,Casca毫無抵抗之力,最後加入了刺殺凱撒陣營。

❤️ 俐媽英文教室:Wild(那時候我只剩下勇敢)文法句型篇Part 1
✏️ The only thing I could think to do was turn my back to the van and squat...
➡️ 句型"All that/What... + S + do/does/did + is/was + (to) Vr"表「⋯所做的事就是⋯」,其中to均被省略,造成be動詞與原型動詞併放,且注意要使用單數動詞is/was。
✏️ The sight of the square concrete pool lifted my spirits enormously not only because at the springs there was water, but also because humans had so clearly constructed it.
➡️ 對等連接詞not only...but also...要連接詞性、結構相同的字/片語/子句,故文中兩個because為對稱。
✏️ I wanted neither to get back together with Paul nor to get divorced.
➡️ 同樣地,對等連接詞neither...nor...用法同not only...but also...,文中的to get back及to get divorced即為symmetry(對稱)。
✏️ ...use DEET or any other such brain-destroying, earth-polluting, or future-progeny-harming chemical.
➡️ 文中使用compound adjective(複合形容詞),用法為:N/adj./adv.-Ving/Vpp,其中使用現在分詞Ving 表「主動」或過去分詞Vpp表「被動」由後面所修飾的名詞決定。文中化學物質chemical主動破壞腦部、汙染地球、傷害後代子孫,故均使用Ving形式。其中的連字符號"-"叫hyphen哦!
✏️ It turned out I wasn't able to keep my family together.
➡️ It turned out that + S + V表「結果是⋯」。
✏️ The heat was so intense that my memory of it is not so much a sensation...
➡️ so + adj./adv. + that + S + V表「如此⋯以致於⋯」,亦可強調intense而寫成倒裝句:So intense was the heat that my memory...。注意heat和intense可為collocation哦!
✏️ ...no matter how kindly his eyes twinkled when he smiled.
➡️ no matter + wh- = wh-ever表「不論⋯」,後面接副詞子句。文中的no matter how = however表「不論多麼⋯」,並不翻「然而」。
✏️ It was then that I spotted what I'd searched for days: mountain lion tracks.
➡️ It is/was + 強調部份(人、物、地、時) + that + S + V,此為強調句用法。別忘了俐媽的精典例句哦😝
祝週末愉快😉😉😉

歐洲人vs亞洲人的隱私觀念 (臉書越來越超過了)
認識Fabian之後,我意識到我們的隱私觀念相差很多,首先是在網路上放照片還有我們私人的生活與資訊,我們是經過討論後達成共識哪些可以上傳哪些保留,而有次我印象最深的是,他開始使用Line後,竟然說他有點不想要讓line可以同步他的照片,因為這樣line會知道他所有拍的照片了..........
但是來自台灣的恬恬,真的對隱私的概念沒有很強烈的意識,我都覺得為何不能同步,不就是照片嗎?或是每次看到不錯的網站都註冊然後留下自己重要的資訊,都沒想過哪天公司或網站出賣你把你的資訊都賣給別人!這也是為何我們常接到補習班的來電或簡訊!或是為何詐騙集團有我們的資訊打到我們家裡........
最近得知臉書可能會推出一個功能,就是讓那些買廣告促銷產品的廣告商,有機會追蹤消費者的購買行為(像是瀏覽了哪些網站或是點了哪些連結),你們不覺得很可怕嗎?好像你在用電腦有人在監視你一樣......同樣道理google其實也這麼做,你可能使用時覺得好人性化知道我喜歡哪類型的文章或影片,但殊不知你完全被看光光啦!!!!!
結論恬恬只是要提醒大家,真的要開始注意自己的隱私了!不要隨便就在任何地方留下你的重要資訊,哪天被騙被賣了就完蛋了QQ照片用意在提醒隱私哈哈哈哈哈哈哈

Deutsch lernen:
Am Nachmittag mache ich meine Hausaufgaben und dann surfe ich im Internet.
我下午做功課完後上網用電腦
1.Am Nachmittag時間副詞可以放在句首(position 1)或是ich後方(position 3),但此時主動詞不用倒裝,ich mache am Nachmittag.....
2.machen:做 第一人稱單數動詞變化加e
3.Hausaufgaben因為是復數,前方的冠詞加e(這裡是akkusativ,但是跟nominativ的復數變化一樣)
4. und dann這個連接詞的動詞與主詞需要倒裝
5.in dem Internet: in+Dativ, in+dem可以縮寫成im

European vs. Asians awareness of privacy
After I met Fabian, I realized that our concept of privacy is quite different. I need to discuss with him which photos or information I can post on Internet. Once I was very impressive and surprised that he didn't want Line (a social networking app) to sync his photos. Becuz then Line will know all the pics he takes!
I was born in Taiwan. I didn't learn the importance of privacy. For me, I will let any apps sync my photos. I thought it's not a big deal. And sometimes when I find some nice websites or activities, I register them and enter all my important personal data. I didn't think that maybe one day some companies or websites would sell your data to someone else. That's why sometimes we receive calls from cram school. (We never go there but they know our home number!)
Today I heard from the radio that Facebook might develop a tool that facilitate advertisers. They can track our behavior online. Which means any links or websites you are browsing Facebook will know. Don't you think it's quite scary? It's like someone spying you. And actually Google does it, too. When you use Google, you might think it's quite friend;y becuz it knows your preference so it shows things you might like. However, it knows all your information and data! That's how it can show you the customized page.
In summary, I just wanna remind that we should start to pay attention of our privacy. So no one can use your data for any bad uses.
