=================================
「Difference」はこうやって応用しよう!
=================================
今日は「違い」や「相違点」を意味する「Difference」を、ネイティブの人達は日常会話の中でどのように応用しているのかご紹介いたします。「違い」としてだけでなく、表現の仕方によって他にも色々な意味を成す便利な単語なんです。
--------------------------------------------------
1) Tell the difference (between A & B)
→「(AとBの)違いが分かる」
--------------------------------------------------
2つの物を比較し、それぞれの「区別がつく」や「違いが分かる」は「Tell the difference between A and B」を使って表現します。違いが分かる場合は「I can tell the difference」、区別がつかない場合は「I can't tell the difference」となります。例えば、コーラとペプシの違いが分かる場合は「I can tell the difference between Coke and Pepsi」になります。
✔「I can/can't tell the difference」だけで「違いが分かる・違いが分からない」を意味する。
<例文>
Can you tell the difference between cheap sake and expensive sake?
(安い日本酒と高級な日本酒の違いが分かりますか?)
I can tell the difference. Jennifer's hair is a little darker than her sisters.
(2人の違いは分かります。ジェニファーさんの方が妹より髪の毛が黒いです。)
I can't tell the difference. They both taste the same to me.
(違いが分かりません。両方とも同じ味がします。)
--------------------------------------------------
2) There's no difference (between A & B)
→「(AとBは)同じである」
--------------------------------------------------
相違点が一切なく「全く同じだよ」と言いたい場合は「There's no difference」が使われます。「It's the same」と同じ意味を成します。例えば、店員さんが「それらの商品の違いはなんですか?」とお客に尋ねられ、特に違いがない場合は「There's no difference.(同じですよ)」と返答します。
✔「No difference」と省略してもOK。
<例文>
There's no difference. They are both the same.
(違いはありません。両方とも同じです。)
There's no big difference between Family Mart and Lawson. They are both convenience stores.
(ファミリーマートとローソンには大差はありません。両方ともコンビニです。)
There's no difference. You can choose whichever you like.
(両方とも同じです。好きなのを選んでください。)
--------------------------------------------------
3) Same difference
→「大して変わらない」
--------------------------------------------------
「There's no difference」は「全く違いがない」を意味するのに対し、「Same difference」は「ちょっとした違いはあるものの、そこまで重要でない(違いはない)」を意味します。特に自分の発言にちょっとした誤りがあったが、それを相手が「大して変わらないよ」や「同じことだよ」と指摘するような状況でよく使われます。例えば、「ロスからサンフランシスコまで5時間かかりました」と友達に伝えたが、側にいた彼女が「5時間15分だよ」と突っ込み、それを聞いた友達がその彼女に対し「Same difference(同じことだよ)」といった具合で使います。
✔「別にどっちでもいいじゃん」という意味合いとして使われる時もある。
✔「What difference does it make?」も同じ意味合いを持つ。
✔口語的な表現として、友達や同僚などカジュアルな場で使われる。
<例文>
"Salada" "salad" same difference. You know what I mean.
(サラダも"Salad"も大して変わらないでしょう。言いたいことは分かるでしょう。)
Same difference. It's only one dollar more.
(1ドルだけの違いなんだから、別にどっちでもいいじゃん。)
Same difference. Stop nitpicking.
(同じことだよ。細かいことにこだわらないで。)
--------------------------------------------------
4) Make a difference
→「影響を与える」
--------------------------------------------------
「Make a difference」を直訳すると「違いを作る」を意味し、何かしらの行動を起こすことで、ポジティブな変化、重大な結果および影響を引き起こすニュアンスが含まれます。例えば、海外で1年間留学したことが、英会話力に大きな影響を与えた場合は「Studying abroad really made a difference」となります。
✔「大きな影響を与える」は「Make a big/huge difference」
✔「影響がほとんどなかった」は「Make a little difference」
<例文>
Eating healthy really made the difference. I lost 5kg in one month.
(健康的な食事をとった結果、1ヶ月で5キロも痩せました。)
My father made a big difference in my life.
(父親は私の人生に大きな影響を与えました。)
I want to make a difference in this world.
(世界に変化をもたらしたいです。)
--------------------------------------------------
5) It makes no difference (to me)
→「どっちでもいいよ」
--------------------------------------------------
「Makes no difference」は「どっちでもいいよ」を表す口語的な言い方です。特に、2つの選択肢がある状況で、どちらを選択しても気にしないといったニュアンス含まれます。例えば、友達に「お好み焼きとたこ焼きどっちが食べたい?」って聞かれたら「It makes no difference.(どっちでもいいよ)」という感じで使われます。
✔「It doesn't make a difference (to me)」も同じ意味合いを持つ。
<例文>
It makes no difference. It's up to you.
(どっちでもいいよ。任せるよ。)
It doesn't make a difference to me. I'm free all day.
(今日は一日中空いているので、何時でもいいですよ。)
It makes no difference. Where do you want to go?
(どこでもいいよ。あなたはどこに行きたいの?)

The Tragedy of “Almost”
“For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner. King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.” Agrippa said to Paul, “With a little persuasion are you trying to make me a Christian?” Paul said, “I pray to God, that whether with little or with much, not only you, but also all that hear me today, might become such as I am, except for these bonds.” The king rose up with the governor, and Bernice, and those who sat with them.” (Acts 26:26-30 WEB)
The passage above records a very tragic moment. King Agrippa was on the verge of believing in Jesus as Lord, but he hardened his heart and stood up, rejecting the free gift of eternal life.
His actions are essentially saying this, “Stop it. I don’t want to hear anymore. I refuse to accept Jesus Christ as Lord.”
Other translations render Agrippa’s words like this:
“Then Agrippa said to Paul, “In a short time [and with so little effort] you [almost] persuade me to become a Christian.”” (Acts 26:28 AMP)
The word “almost” is the great tragedy.
It is like coming so close to the finish line in a race but fainting and being disqualified when you are just a hair’s breadth away.
Hell contains many souls who are “almosts”.
“I should have responded when that preacher asked for us to place our faith in Jesus. Why did I harden my heart? I almost got saved, but now it is too late...”
“Therefore, even as the Holy Spirit says, “Today if you will hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness, where your fathers tested me by proving me, and saw my deeds for forty years. Therefore I was displeased with that generation, and said, ‘They always err in their heart, but they didn’t know my ways;’ as I swore in my wrath, ‘They will not enter into my rest.’”” (Hebrews 3:7-11 WEB)
It is possible to know with the mind that Jesus is the Son of God and everything that He claims to be, and yet not be saved.
A person has to believe and confess Him as Lord. If you just believe that He is the Son of God but don’t receive Him as Lord, you are not saved.
Even the demons believe that God is real, but they don’t submit to Him as Lord.
The Holy Spirit convicts the hearts of unbelievers about their sinfulness and woos them to receive Jesus Christ as Lord. But they can choose to reject it. Every individual must choose to accept or reject the gift of eternal life.
Yet, it is God’s will for all to hear the Gospel and to be saved. No matter how dark someone’s past is, he can freely receive forgiveness of sins when he places his faith in Jesus as Lord!
If you are already a born-again believer, through faith in Jesus, you have entered God’s rest—the rest of your conscience and also rest from works-based justification.
You are a saint who is already sanctified, justified, saved, holy, righteous, pure, and blameless. The next time you read these words in the Bible, don’t feel condemned or shrink away. These words describe who you already are in Christ.
“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” (Colossians 2:8-10 NKJV)
Dear brethren, you are not an “almost”. You are complete in Christ.
Let someone know the Gospel so that they are not almost, but fully saved through faith in Jesus Christ!

美國聯準會(Fed)在美東時間22日下午2時(台灣23日凌晨2時)宣布利率維持在趨近零的水準,但暗示升息可能會比預期來得快一些,同時也大幅下修今年的經濟展望。

🌻Adobe(ADBE)電話會議內容讀後感
ADBE前兩天發表財報了.
這次ADBE在財報後下跌, 主要是兩個原因(如下). 不過個人覺得是瑕不掩瑜:
1. 因為之前已經漲了不少(投資人期望太高)
2. 因為Digital Marketing這部分的業務受到季節性的影響, 所以表現不是很突出(沒有比預期高出很多)
a. net new Digital Media ARR (3% beat vs guide, vs 15% beat in 2Q21 vs 35% beat in 3Q20).
b. 有分析師在問(“Maybe just -- can we double-click on the seasonality commentary in the quarter? Because if we look at the beat versus guidance on net new digital media ARR, it looks, at the same time you had the weakest beat, but then the strongest guide in the last three years, which kind of speaks to and confirm some of those seasonality comments that you made.)
i. 高層對此的回答是, 主要是疫情後, 加上正值夏季, 大家的日子回復到正常&放假外出, 所以這部分的業務有受到影響(I think going into the quarter, we had expected that the consumer with a little bit more return to normalcy as what's happening in the environment.)
ii. 高層又說了一些話, 不過重點就是他不認為這是甚麼大事”So, net-net, I would say that the growth prospects for that particular business and the growth drivers remain intact. But again, very much in line. And this is what we feel good about the insights that we're getting on the business.”
iii. 也提到, Q4通常會是digital marketing業務的旺季(表現會不俗的意思)
另外, 覺得這次令我印象深刻的是, 當高層與分析師提到這些事情:
• 常在一些公司的電話會議中提到omnichannel這個字(疫情後, 更明顯了). 這次高層也有提到. ADBE可說是omnichannel概念股:
o “I mean, a big part of that is more and more companies are thirdly doing the multi-channel omnichannel, whatever they want to call it. And I think that's only going to continue to be a driver of our Digital Experience Solutions. Because today that stable stakes and so we just look at it and say whether you're shopping in-store over they are shopping online. You need a solution that treats you like a customer that we know of.”
• 網路上影片(video)的興起, 以及串流影音, 有提高了Adobe的營收天花板(用句分析師的術語, 就是TAM (total addressable market) expansion.
• 當使用者製作了越來越多的內容, 內容管理(content management)的能力就越顯重要, 內容上的流程管理(workflow)也越顯重要. Adobe的產品能夠幫內容製作者解決這樣的問題.
• 而Adobe各產品間的相容性, 標準化, 整合能力, 是它的競爭優勢之一:
o And one of the things we did really well is what we called our named user deployment and how, you know, when we have these enterprise licensing agreements, we offer enterprises the ability to download and distribute within the companies. And the more we do training and evangelism of the products, that leads to adoption. So, I would say there's an element of standardization, there's an element of more content.
而最近ADBE有個新聞, 引起了我的注意, 就是它即將在自己的平台上, 提供付款服務(payment service). 根據之前研究SHOP的經驗, 這有可能會對股價造成一定的漲幅:
On Sept. 15, Adobe announced that it will add payment services to its e-commerce platform this year to help merchants accept credit cards and other ways of paying. The move will deepen Adobe's rivalry with e-commerce firm Shopify (SHOP).
For the service, Adobe has partnered with PayPal (PYPL), which will process a variety of payment types, including credit and debit cards as well as PayPal's own payment and buy-now-pay-later offerings.

接下來該怎麼辦? 對於基本面良好的公司如ADBE, 我能說的就是buy the dip(逢低買進)了. 供參.
🌻The Facebook Files
一個星期前, WSJ上面有個關於FB的大篇幅調查報導. 有興趣的可以看看.
The Facebook Files
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-facebook-files-11631713039
這篇文章挺長, 也沒有看到華爾街中文版本的完整翻譯, 不過可以看看這篇:
https://on.wsj.com/2ZmFimp
"《華爾街日報》的相關調查顯示,這家社交媒體巨頭心知肚明,其平台會傷害用戶,而且是以該公司常常完全了解的方式造成傷害。目前,全球近半數人口都是Facebook旗下平台的用戶。其中一些證據尤其令人不安:據《華爾街日報》報導,Facebook的內部研究顯示,在報告稱有過自殺念頭的青少年中當中,有13%的英國用戶和6%的美國用戶把這種念頭歸結於Instagram。"
另一篇相關新聞:
https://www.thenewslens.com/article/156683
"《華爾街日報》於13日揭露Facebook的XCheck系統,也就是內部系統中的VIP名單,數百萬名人、政治人物與記者等知名公眾人物都在特別的一份「白名單」之內。"
"這些「貴賓」在社群上發布的內容可以躲過一般的審查系統,即使發布明顯的不當內容,也不會立即被刪除。《衛報》報導,Facebook的獨立監督委員會表示,在閱讀該篇報導後,決定要審查XCheck系統,並要求Facebook對其進行報告與解釋。"
🌻我喜歡的Apple TV影集, "Ted Lasso", 是這次艾美獎的大贏家, 很多主要演員都得獎了.
很高興這兩年, 因為有這部戲的陪伴, 讓我撐過了疫情, 家人離世, 以及一些烏煙瘴氣的事情.
前幾天看演員的得獎影片, 一位娛樂記者問得獎的男配角(也是編劇之一)說, 你覺得這部片的核心思想是甚麼. 他說, be curious, not judgemental.
就像得獎的女演員在劇中一開始是很鴨霸很壞心的球隊主人, 但這樣做是因為被前夫傷透了心, 所以想要弄垮離婚後分到的財產(也是前夫的最愛--球隊); 外表看起來永遠陽光燦爛做啦啦隊的男主角, 在青少年時父親自殺, 造成了他心裡永遠的痛&障礙(讓他在球賽時, 會有突發恐懼症).
我們每個人其實都有很多面, 很多個故事. 尤其在社群, 大家都是萍水相逢, 對彼此的了解都是非常片面的; 而有時候在社群裡, 看到有人會因為只看到一個面向, 就去下斷語. 這其實是人之常情很難避免, 所以我們需要常用第二層思考去提醒自己. 社群裡需要更多的同理心.
“Be curious, not judgmental” – Walt Whitman(惠特曼)(美國詩人)

當我調整作息 夜貓也為你早起
記錄你生活起居 就要懂我在靠近

中文字幕請打開CC字幕 (抱歉,我還在學中文所以有時候可能表達的不太清楚🙇♀️)
I recently took a solo day trip to Maokong Village in Taipei, Taiwan. It was a nice opportunity to step away from the city and to fully immerse myself in the beauty of nature.
My intention for the month of August was deep rest, and as a practice, I've been making it a priority to explore more of this island and to do things that bring me joy. There's so much more to life than just work but because we live in the society that we do, it's easy to get caught up in just trying to survive.
I hope that these silent vlogs can be a simple reminder of the little things in life~

Heal this crazy, but lovely world for us.
Love yourself:)

There's a place in
your heart
and I know that it is love
and this place could
be much
brighter than tomorrow
and if you really try
you'll find there's no need
to cry
in this place you'll feel
there's no hurt or sorrow
there are ways
to get there
if you care enough
for the living
make a little space
make a better place...
Heal the world
make it a better place
for you and for me
and the entire human race
there are people dying
if you care enough
for the living
make a better place
for you and for me ah
If you want to know why
there's a love that
cannot lie
love is strong
it only cares of
joyful giving
If we try we shall see
in this bliss
we cannot feel
fear or dread
we stop existing and
start living
then it feels that always
love's enough for
us growing
So make a better world
make a better world...
Heal the world
make it a better place
for you and for me
and the entire human race
there are people dying
if you care enough
for the living
make a better place
for you and for me
And the dream we were
conceived in
will reveal a joyful face
and the world we
once believed in
will shine again in grace
then why do we keep
strangling life
wound this earth
crucify its soul
though it's plain to see
this world is heavenly
be god's glow
we could fly so high
let our spirits never die
in my heart
I feel you are all
my brothers
create a world with
no fear
together we cry
happy tears
see the nations turn
their swords
into plowshares
we could really get there
if you cared enough
for the living
make a little space
to make a better place...
Heal the world
make it a better place
for you and for me
and the entire human race
there are people dying
if you care enough
for the living
make a better place
for you and for me
Heal the world
make it a better place
for you and for me
and the entire human race
there are people dying
if you care enough
for the living
make a better place
for you and for me
Heal the world
make it a better place
for you and for me
and the entire human race
there are people dying
if you care enough
for the living
make a better place
for you and for me
there are people dying
if you care enough
for the living
make a better place
for you and for me
there are people dying
if you care enough
for the living
make a better place
for you and for me
you and for me
