~XOXO Who are you girls?~
---爆雷注意,以下可能含有部分Gossip Girl 2021的劇情---
很多事情應該就該結束在他們最美好的樣子,例如感情或者電視劇。每每看到那些代表某個時代眼淚的電視劇要被翻拍、續拍我都會can’t help but 捏一把冷汗。尷尬的地方在於,這些經典之所以經典,可能是他們代表了某一個世代的氛圍和價值觀,又或者是某些人詮釋這些角色產生的化學效應,硬要讓他們死而復活的結果就是會產生無處安放的尷尬和不合時宜感。
例如,我最近因為劇荒而點開的新花邊教主Gossip Girl。由Serena、Blair、Chuck、Dan、Nate組合起來的舊版花邊教主可以說是我們Y世代的經典連續劇,撐起了我們七、八年級生對上東城的浮華世界想像。閉上眼我都還記得第一集那個「Serena is back」製造出來的懸疑緊張感,從第一集注意力就被 What she did last summer 緊緊揪住注意力。角色也是飽滿到無話可說,標準的白富美,一切都完美的她有無可救藥的戀愛腦;她的好友Blair囂張跋扈卻可以為愛的人兩肋插刀。情同姐妹Queen S 和 Queen B 可以姐妹情深也可以桶對方幾刀,她們兩個人相愛相殺的情節幾乎撐起整部花邊教主,每次看他們互桶對方的伎倆都覺得太賤又太厲害了。然後那個躲在幕後的部落客Gossip Girl也是整部劇的靈魂人物,鬼祟又囂張、無孔不入地窺探這群菁英小鬼的生活,沒有人知道她下一步要報什麼料,以及她如何神出鬼沒地拍到那些照片。
而Z世代的花邊教主呢?嗯……我只能說這部劇擁有豐富的物種多樣性,菁英圈不再只有白人,加入了豐富的種族選項。但整部劇直到目前的情感張力都略顯蒼白。兩位女主是同母異父的姐妹,即使分居兩個城市依舊透過社群保持了很親密的聯繫,姐妹情深最後妹妹轉到同一所高中後,展開一連串的情感衝突。我不確是演技還是劇本的問題,兩個人的愛和恨都沒什麼感染力,說愛沒多愛、討厭起來沒有多討厭,感覺就像一般的塑料姐妹花,血緣關係一點都沒幫上角色塑造。
如果就讓這部劇獨立於Y世代版,也許還算一部可以追的高校劇,偏偏這部劇用了花邊教主的招牌,沿用了Gossip Girl這個藏鏡人的角色,只是這部在第一集就告訴你Gossip Girl 是同所高中老師組成的魯蛇陣線聯盟,神秘感直接歸零。然後劇裡時不時就會出現前人的名字、彩蛋和致敬,追著前人的背影卻不停摔跤,第五集塑料姐妹花在萬聖節變裝派對,扮裝成Dan和Chuck那幕簡直不要驚悚。這兩姐妹要深情沒深情、說毒辣也不毒辣,但偏偏又應該要是整齣劇的靈魂人物,唯一好的是提供了不錯的娛樂效果。支線人物的劇情發展反而有趣多了,譬如對自己性向不確定的 Aki 和結合了Chuck Bass和慾望城市莎曼莎(?)的Max。
說了這麼一會,大家也別誤會,這齣劇並不難看,只是不要帶著舊版Gossip Girl的有色眼鏡去觀賞就會好很多,也許Z世代弟弟妹妹們會喜歡,會看到哥哥姊姊們沒看到的東西。但對於Y世代的LKK (會用這個詞的人應該是W世代?)我可能不是很推薦。

【美式生活口語辨析:Chew the fat】
A: I wonder why Louisa likes to chew the fat with her sister so much.
B: What? But Louisa is thin, not fat!
(A:我真好奇為什麼Louisa那麼喜歡跟她妹妹聊天。)
(B:什麼?Louisa很瘦,不胖啊!)
解說:這段英文片語,老師之前就曾經誤解過意思。理由很簡單,因為這片語,從字面上來看根本看不出它和實際上要表達的意思有何關係。但是在了解其用法與涵義後,就知道chew the fat其實是在描述用嘴巴去嚼一塊肥肉,而肥肉不好下嚥,因此在吃的時候得多動嘴巴去反覆地咀嚼。如果我們運用一點想像力,把嘴巴反覆動作的情況投射到人與人之間的互動,就會變成是對著人嘰哩呱啦講個不停的意思了!所以chew the fat的意思就和chat或是gossip一樣,指的都是「閒聊」。下次如果您要和外國朋友用英文聊天時,請試著用chew the fat來表示,說不定會讓外國朋友覺得您的英文程度很不錯喔。

what is gossip 在 李木生醫師 Facebook 的最佳貼文
幾乎在所有的童話裡王子與公主的故事結束於步入禮堂的那一刻。雖然也有少數的故事(像史瑞克續集)裡會提到生孩子之後的發展。 但這些故事多著墨於孩子的天真與可愛,卻鮮少聚焦於公主成為媽媽後的觀點。比起結婚的內容,懷孕後產生的生理與心理變化在社會上是比較少被討論的話題。
尤其,懷孕時的體重增加像個雙面刃,太少有時會影響胎兒的發育,太多又會增加生產的風險。我常常被問到懷孕時增加多少體重才算是正常的。以亞洲人來說,懷一個胎兒總體重增加約在十公斤左右。體重增加的速率在第二孕期也就是三到六個月中增加最快,但體態的變化卻是在第三孕期也就是六到九個月變化最多(因為水分快速增加的原因)。總體重增加的內容最主要仍是以胎兒為主,而其中體脂肪的增加約佔了四分之一其他如胎盤與羊水都會因為生產而減輕總體重。而子宮的重量與大小會在懷孕後四到六週後逐漸恢復正常。
但因為每個人產前的體重不盡相同,所以以個人而言到底該增加多少體重才算是正常的呢?研究與臨床準則告訴我們孕前BMI是一個好的參考基準。以亞洲人來說 BMI 在 18-24的人建議增加8-10公斤,而在18-24 以外的媽媽們則需依BMI 增加或減少增加的幅度。(如BMI 30以上的人建議增加6公斤就好)另外或許也可依照每天的建議熱量標準來攝取食物並搭配每天20-30分鐘輕度至中度的運動(如快走與產婦體適能)來更確實的達到控制體重的目標。
我們總是在懷孕時高度的期待孕婦肚子的變化一天比一天大,卻要在生產後的瞬間希望媽媽們的肚子馬上恢復原狀,像什麼事情都沒發生一樣。社會的期待希望能在更多人站在孕婦、媽媽們的角度說故事後,有些許改變。
=========================================
Almost all the fairy tales end at the altar where the prince and the princess are happy forever after. Although some fairy tales like the Shrek’s have sequels on when the prince and the princess have children, they are mostly about the children and the family dynamic, little is being said about what happens to the princess when she becomes a mum. Compared to the topic of marriage, the topic of pregnancy is relatively uncommon, at least from the mothers’ perspective.
The weight gain during pregnancy is like a double-edged sword, that can be dangerous being too much or too little. Too much weight gain can put the mother at risk of difficult delivery or bleeding, whilst too little weight gain can risk the baby of prematurity or poor development. I am asked about this question almost everyday: how much weight gain is “normal” for pregnancy. In Asians, on average 10 kg is gained during a singleton pregnancy. The rate of weight gain is fastest during the 2nd trimester. However, the body shape changes the most during the 3rd trimester due to retention of water. The main components of weight gain during pregnancy include the mother’s body, baby, amniotic fluid/placenta and the womb. Most of these components will reverse after birth of the baby, only a small proportion will stay as body fat (about 25%).
Because everyone has different weight and height, it is not sensible to recommend a single number for the ideal weight gain during pregnancy. One way of doing this is the Body Mass Index (BMI). For Asians with BMI between 18-24, the ideal weight gain should be about 8 to 10 kg. (different recommendations may vary in the range of 1-2 kg) BMI outside this range should adjust their weight gain more or less than the recommended range. (For example, BMI of 30 should aim for a 6 kg weight gain). Diet control according to each trimester needs and regular exercises are good tools which can help mothers to achieve the desired weight gain.
We are always excited about the mothers’ belly being bigger everyday, but when after the baby is born, there seems to be an unrealistic expectation to recover her shape and weight almost immediately (as exemplified in many gossip magazines on how these celebrities successfully lose weight within an amazing amount of time). Hopefully when we pay more attention to mothers after they give birth perspectives can change.

Have you ever spent time with someone and you feel like your energy has been drained? If all that person do most of the time is to bad-mouth someone, or judge your life or discourage you from achieving what you truly want, then you're with a toxic person.
Trust me, I don't mind spending a fortune to just STAY AWAY from this type of people.
Why You Should Avoid Toxic People?
1. They will drain your positive energy
Constant negativity from them creates a very negative vibe. So you won't feel lifted or elevated with their presence in your life. Them complaining about their life, giving up easily and always blaming others will create a very bad vibe around you.
It will feel completely opposite when you're with positive people. They will elevate your energy and make you not to give up easily and ask you to keep trying when things don't go how it should be.
2. They alter your thinking
Toxic people have their way to your brain where they will make you believe that it's better to give up than to try other ways. The more you spend your time around them, the more you will start to behave like them. Basically, your attitude will be changed.
You will be prone to do the bare minimum as you don't have the energy to fight the negative vibe. As I have mentioned earlier, congratulations, your energy has been fully sucked by those toxic people.
3. They love drama
Have you seen a group of people get together and gossip about others? They are toxic! Positive people usually won't have time to ridicule or gossip about others. They will be more into knowing your progress or they will be sharing their experiences and talk about beneficial stuff than waste the time to talk bad about others.
You grow with positive people and your growth will come to a halt with toxic people.
How I identify toxic people?
Once you feel like somebody is giving you the negative vibes, pressuring you to do something you're not comfortable with, or creating too much unnecessary drama, then they are toxic,
It's time to avoid them.
Have you been with toxic people before? Comment below on your experiences!
