現在世界各國開始開放國界,Bloomberg 幫世界各國的恢復力(?) 做排名
美國排名第一因為疫苗打了很多人,也開始歡迎觀光客去玩,各種商業行為都開始恢復正常
台灣排名44….. What!
文中提到台灣是說
「Taiwan plunges into the bottom half of the Ranking for the same reasons, accentuated by a lagging vaccination drive and a resurgent outbreak」
說台灣排名掉下來因為疫苗問題跟疫情再度爆發
居然排在伊朗後面 ? WTF?
這個排名好像有點問題…..
#輪到你就去打疫苗

There’s rhythm in writing! 🎶
這個禮拜Presentality的Andrew來分享英文寫作的節奏!
★★★★★★★★★★★★
我的工作需要看非常多的英文。
其中有英文母語的人寫的,也有非母語的人寫的。最近,我注意到一個兩者之間很明顯的差別。這個差別很少有人提到,因為它無關文法正確,也不是有學問的用語,或是文雅的詞彙。
是句子的長短。
Well,更正確的來說,是長句跟短句的交錯。我發現,非母語人士寫的英文句子,不但比英文母語的人寫的長,而且是大部分句子都很長。
母語的人,尤其是很會寫的人,則是會把長句跟短句混合搭配。
那又怎樣?
★★★★★★★★★★★★
你可能會說 ok,以英文為母語的人比較會用短的句子,那又怎樣?句子的長短,跟我寫作的好壞,有關嗎?
關係可大了。
就像音樂,或是影片,文字也是「內容」。只要是「內容」,就有它的節奏。你可以想像一首曲子,從頭到尾都是很長的音,而且一點變化都沒有嗎?或是一部很長的影片,從頭到尾都是很長的畫面,而且一點節奏的變化都沒有嗎?
Well actually,你應該可以想像,這些就是要幫助我們睡眠的。
如果你不想要你的讀者覺得無聊或甚至睡著,我建議適度變換你文字的節奏。
但我們先看案例。
我拿一篇台灣人寫的文,跟另一篇美國人寫的,來做比較:把每個句子都分拆成不同的段落,句子的長短就一目了然了。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
但我們先看案例。
我拿一篇台灣人寫的文,跟另一篇美國人寫的,來做比較:把每個句子都分拆成不同的段落,句子的長短就一目了然了。
📌 台灣案例:Taipei Times Opinion
1. The TAIEX last month rose above 17,000 points as rallies in steel, shipping and some non-tech stocks offset a weakness in semiconductor and electronics stocks.
2. While news about a cluster of local COVID-19 infections connected with China Airlines cargo pilots and a hotel in Taoyuan fueled selling pressure early this month and pushed the local stock market into consolidation mode, the daily market turnover in the first two trading sessions of this month hit fresh highs.
3. Moreover, Taiwan’s stock trading volume last month began to surpass that of Hong Kong for the first time in 15 years, which was beyond most market participants’ expectations.
4. Taiwan’s daily market turnover exceeding Hong Kong’s might gradually become a new normal from this year, and there are good reasons for this.
5. First, Hong Kong’s stock market has lost its appeal to foreign investors since China last year imposed national security legislation on the territory, triggering a potential flight of capital and talent.
6. Second, many wealthy Taiwanese tend to park their overseas funds in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Switzerland and the US, but government statistics showed that more than 80 percent of funds repatriated by wealthy individuals last year were from Hong Kong, as they saw the political situation in the territory worsen after its self-governance, human rights and freedom of speech were further suppressed.
7. Third, China’s new NASDAQ-style stock board — the Shanghai Stock Exchange’s STAR board — has emerged as a fast-growing capital markets center for Chinese companies at a time when rising China-US tensions have triggered concerns about their prospects of listing in New York, posing a growing challenge to the Hong Kong stock exchange.
8. On the other hand, Taiwan’s economic fundamentals, the central bank’s adoption of extraordinary monetary easing and the government’s fiscal policies have fueled continued rallies in the nation’s stock market since last year.
9. It might be too early to tell how long the consolidation trend might last, as a resurgent COVID-19 outbreak is coloring the global economic outlook, but some insight can be drawn from the stock market:
10. Taiwan’s GDP grew a larger-than-expected 8.16 percent in the first quarter, as exports and private investment remained healthy.
都是一堆很長的句子對不對?我們來看美國人寫的句子,也是一個主流媒體的 opinion 文。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 美國案例:New York Times Opinion
1. I miss torturing Liz Cheney.
2. But it must be said that the petite blonde from Wyoming suddenly seems like a Valkyrie amid halflings.
3. She is willing to sacrifice her leadership post — and risk her political career — to continue calling out Donald Trump’s Big Lie.
4. She has decided that, if the price of her job is being as unctuous to Trump as Kevin McCarthy is, it isn’t worth it, because McCarthy is totally disgracing himself.
5. It has been a dizzying fall for the scion of one of the most powerful political families in the land, a conservative chip off the old block who was once talked about as a comer, someone who could be the first woman president.
6. How naïve I was to think that Republicans would be eager to change the channel after Trump cost them the Senate and the White House and unleashed a mob on them.
7. I thought the Donald would evaporate in a poof of orange smoke, ending a supremely screwed-up period of history.
8. But the loudest mouth is not shutting up.
9. And Republicans continue to listen, clinging to the idea that the dinosaur is the future.
10. “We can’t grow without him,” Lindsey Graham said.
📌 Note: 即使是比較長的句子,這位作者也會用標點符號拆散它:She is willing to sacrifice her leadership post — and risk her political career — to continue calling out Donald Trump’s Big Lie. 這就好比用句點一樣,讓我們讀起來有點停頓休息的時間。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 注意到了嗎?
台灣人寫的英文,句子都偏長,而且長度都差不多。
美國人寫的就不一樣了:一個只有五個字的句子開頭,然後一堆稍微長一點的句子,然後再來一串短句。
你可能懷疑我故意挑選很極端了例子出來,而且幹嘛專門打台灣人呢?
所以想到這裡,我從我的書架上,隨便挑了兩本跟科技有關的書出來。左邊的,是美國人,矽谷知名投資人 Peter Thiel。右邊的是德國人,但注意了,是一個英文非常好的德國人。他不但是世界經濟論壇的創辦人,研究所也是在哈佛大學唸的。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
📌 兩本書 Introduction 是怎麼寫的?
Klaus Schwab (德國):
Of the many diverse and fascinating challenges we face today, the most intense and important is how to understand and shape the new technology revolution, which entails nothing less than a transformation of humankind.
We are at the beginning of a revolution that is fundamentally changing the way we live, work, and relate to one another.
In its scale, scope and complexity, what I consider to be the fourth industrial revolution is unlike anything humankind has experienced before.
Peter Thiel (美國):
Whenever I interview someone for a job, I like to ask this question: "What important truth do very few people agree with you on?"
The question sounds easy because it's straightforward.
Actually, it's very hard to answer.
It's intellectually difficult because the knowledge that everyone is taught in school is by definition agreed upon.
See the difference?

[時事英文] 散戶牛市 🐂💰
Is it investing or just gambling?
這到底是投資還是賭博呢?
★★★★★★★★★★★★
It’s one of the year’s biggest market stories: Mom-and-pop investors have fallen back in love with stocks, lured by free trading apps, a resurgent bull market led by technology companies and a pandemic that has left millions of Americans at home with little to do.
New data show a number of ways in which the individual-trading boom has reshaped the U.S. stock market. Here are five takeaways:
1. mom-and-pop investors 散戶、小型投資者
2. fall in love with 愛上
3. free trading apps 免費交易應用程式
4. resurgent 復興的;再次增長的;再度流行的
5. a bull market 牛市 (當某一市場、行業或金融工具呈上升趨勢時,通常稱之為牛市。)
6. little to do 無事可做
7. reshape 重塑
這是今年最大的市場熱點之一:在免費交易應用程式和科技公司引領的牛市重新抬頭的誘惑下,加上數以百萬計美國人因新冠大流行而在家無所事事,散戶重新愛上了股市。新的數據顯示散戶交易熱潮在多個方面重塑了美國股市。以下是五個要點:
★★★★★★★★★★★★
🐂 1. Individual stock trading is at a decade high 💰
個人股票交易達到了十年來的最高點
Trading by individuals accounts for a greater chunk of market activity than at any time during the past 10 years, according to Larry Tabb, head of market-structure research at Bloomberg Intelligence. During the first six months of this year, individual investors accounted for 19.5% of the shares traded in the U.S stock market, up from 14.9% last year and nearly double the level from 2010, Mr. Tabb estimates.
8. account for (sth) (在數量上)佔 ; 解釋、說明 ; 對...負有責任
9. a chunk of 一部分;(尤指)大部分,一大塊
10. market activity 市場活動
Bloomberg Intelligence市場結構研究主管Larry Tabb表示,個人交易在市場活動中的佔比超過了過去10年的任何時候。Tabb估計,今年前六個月,散戶投資者在美國股市交易量中的佔比為19.5%,高於去年的14.9%,是2010年水平的近兩倍。他的數據沒有進一步向前追溯。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
🐂 2. Small investors are powering big moves in some stocks 💰
小型投資者正在推動一些股票的大幅波動
It has been called the Robinhood effect, the idea that stampedes of investors using the popular app are driving irrational stock moves.
In fact, such activity doesn’t matter much for most stocks, according to Nick Maggiulli, chief operating officer of Ritholtz Wealth Management. But there is evidence of a Robinhood effect in some smaller stocks, he said.
11. power (v.) 為…提供動力,驅動
12. big moves 大幅波動
13. stampede (尤指獸群或人群因恐懼引發的)狂奔;奔逃,蜂擁
(這裡指散戶湧入股市)
14. drive irrational stock moves 驅動非理性股市走勢
這被稱為羅賓漢效應,這種觀點認為,使用這種廣受歡迎的應用程式的投資者紛紛湧入市場,正在推動非理性的股票走勢。
資產管理機構Ritholtz Wealth Management首席營運官Nick Maggiulli表示,事實上,對於大多數股票來說這些活動無關緊要。但他表示,有證據表明,一些較小型股票存在羅賓漢效應。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
🐂 3. Asia is where individual investors truly dominate 💰
在亞洲股市,散戶是真正的主力軍
Many Asian stock markets have traditionally been dominated by individual investors, unlike the institution-heavy U.S. market. In places such as mainland China, frenzied trading by individuals can create a casino-like feel, with exuberant bull runs followed by spectacular crashes.
Individuals often account for more than 80% of volume on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, while on the Korea Exchange’s main Kospi market, nearly 84% of shares traded so far this year were on behalf of individual investors, according to data compiled by Hee-Joon Ahn, a finance professor at Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul.
15. be dominated by 由…所主導
16. individual investors 個人投資者
17. frenzied trading 狂熱交易
18. bull runs 行情
19. on behalf of 代表
20. data that is compiled by 由…整理的數據
不同於以機構投資者為主的美國股市,許多亞洲股市向來由個人投資者所主導。在中國A股等亞洲股市,散戶的狂熱交易會營造出賭場般的感覺,有時股市會牛氣沖天,隨後大幅跳水。
首爾成均館大學(Sungkyunkwan University)金融學教授Hee-Joon Ahn整理的數據顯示,在上海證券交易所,散戶的股票交易量通常佔到80%以上;在韓國證券交易所主要的Kospi市場,今年以來,有近84%的股票交易是代表個人投資者進行的。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
🐂 4. More of the U.S. stock market is going dark 💰
美股暗盤交易量上升
The individual-investing boom has led to historically high levels of “dark” trading, in which stocks are bought and sold on opaque private venues, rather than public exchanges. That is because online brokers typically funnel small investors’ trades to electronic-trading firms that execute the incoming orders.
In July, 43.2% of U.S. stock-trading volume took place off-exchange, according to Rosenblatt Securities, a brokerage firm. That is the highest level that the firm has recorded since it started tracking such data in 2008.
21. investing boom 投資熱潮
22. historically high levels of 歷史高位
23. “dark” trading 暗盤 (暗盤是指大利市機以外的股份交易買賣。 由於當中的買賣並不曝露於大眾之前,不會經證交所披露其中內容,所以這些買賣被稱之為暗盤。)
24. opaque 不透明的;不透光的
25. private venues 非公開場所
26. public exchanges 公開的交投
27. brokerage firm 證券商
個人投資熱潮已經導致股票暗盤交易量達到歷史高位,這種交易指的是股票在不透明的非公開場所買賣,而不是在公開的交易所進行交投。出現這種現象的原因是,在線經紀商通常會將小型投資者的交易單交給執行指令的電子交易公司。
據券商Rosenblatt Securities提供的數據,7月份,美國有43.2%的股票交易量發生在交易所外。這是該公司自2008年開始跟蹤此類數據以來所記錄到的最高水平。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
🐂 5. Big winners may be electronic traders 💰
大贏家可能是電子交易公司
The firms that execute individual investors’ orders have enjoyed surging volumes. The three biggest players in that business—Citadel Securities, Virtu Financial Inc. and Susquehanna International Group LLP—traded a combined 69.4 billion shares over the counter in June, more than triple the level from November, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. The vast majority of the firms’ over-the-counter trades come from individual investors. OTC trading is a type of off-exchange trading.
Electronic-trading firms profit from individuals’ trades by collecting a small difference between the buying and selling prices of a stock. It’s hard to know how much money they are making, though, because most are private and don’t report financials.
28. big winners 大贏家
29. surging volumes 交易量大幅上升
30. the biggest players 巨頭 ; 主要參與者;主力
31. according to 根據
32. the vast majority of 絕大多數
33. over-the-counter trades 場外交易 (場外交易是指證券投資機構之間不通過股票交易所,而以電話、電傳等方式相互進行的股票交易。)
為散戶執行交易指令的公司交易量大幅上升。據Bloomberg Intelligence的數據,這一領域的三巨頭是Citadel Securities、Virtu Financial Inc.和海納國際集團(Susquehanna International Group) ,6月份的場外交易總量為694億股,是去年11月的三倍多。這些公司的絕大多數場外交易來自散戶投資者。
電子交易公司通過收取股票買賣之間的微小差價從個人交易中獲利。不過,很難知道這些公司到底賺了多少錢,因為大多數公司都未上市,也不披露財務報告。
