關於 long call意思 ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

大家晚安！吉娜英文的頻道有重大改變了，想要知道為什麼，要看影片喔。今天課程的主題是【會議還要開多久才會結束】How long until the meeting is over? 英文有四個說法來表達這個意思，你會第幾種方式呢？這個句子最特別的地方是 until 的使用，有一種要到什麼時候的感覺，until (直到~)。

第01個例句：
A: How long until the meeting is over? I need to contact a client.
B: I think we will have about an hour left.
A: 會議還要多久才會結束？我要打電話聯絡客戶。
B: 我想還要一個小時。

第02個例句：
A: How long until this meeting finishes? I gotta get going.
B: I'm not sure. I think we're about halfway through.
A: 會議還要多久才會結束？我必須先離開。
B: 我不確定。我想我們大概開會到一半。
講解：is over (較口語) / finishes (比較正式一點)

第03個例句：
A: How long until this meeting wraps? I've got somewhere to be soon.
B: The boss said it will be another 20 minutes or so.
A: 會議還要多久可以早點結束？我必須趕去一個地方。
B: 老闆說大概二十分鐘左右。
講解：wrap 在這裡的用法是強調會議能否早點結束

第04個例句：
A: How long until we wrap up? I really need to make a phone call.
B: We're almost done. We'll be out soon.
A: 會議還要多久我們可以走人？我真的需要打一通電話。
B: 我們快要好了。我們很快就可以出去了。
講解：we wrap up 我們可以早點走人的意思

🌻Morgan Stanley Mid-year Investor Outlook: A tricky transition

https://www.morganstanley.com/ideas/midyear-2021-global-markets-outlook

🌻在您投資生涯中, 有沒有一些觀念讓您受用很多?
下面這位投資名人的好觀念影響我很深. 他的意思是, 一般投資人, 只要能説出三個買一家公司的理由, 就很夠了. 這也迫使我, 每次在買股票時, 問自己對這家公司的了解有多少. 也會去衡量公司的優點與缺點在哪裡.

"It is vital (重要的) that you know what you own, that if I asked you on the street why you like a certain stock, you can give me three reasons. If you don't know how they make their money, who their key clients are and what they make if, then I will tell you that you are over your head and should not own individual stocks."

全文在此:
Jim Cramer: In Times Like This, Go for the Easy Money
Look at the stocks you own. Can you tell me why you've got them? If you can't answer the following three questions, then have a look at several I like right now.

We've endured the meme stock craziness, with all of its love for heavily shorted stocks. We have watched the collapse of bitcoin to levels viewed as shocking, even if they are still more than double where they were not that long ago. We've dealt with Fed officials making it clear that they are no longer on the side of the bulls or the bears. They are on the side of job growth, but are wary of inflation. We've seen the end of the rush to get vaccines, which means that millions of people are going to get the new COVID variant, because there is no natural immunity to it. We've watched as the hopes for an infrastructure bill have collapsed. We've endured shortages of everything from chips to plastic to imported goods and labor.

And we're still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yep, we are in one of those halcyon moments, where the masks are off -- even if they shouldn't be -- and Americans are back doing what they do best: consume, spend, go out to eat and then consume and spend some more.

There are times in the stock market where the collective mindset is revealed. This is one of those times: Things are cool, it's not a big moment, there's no real news for a bit, it's the historically strong period and we can reach some conclusions about where we are.

When things are like this, it is important to remember that buyers like to revert to tried-and-true companies that thrive no matter what. These are companies that have an edge and are better at what they do than other companies.

You know that I am a great believer in index funds, that the average person doesn't have the time or the inclination to research individual stocks. It's a difficult barrier. I think you need to make time to read the quarterly report and listen to the conference call, to Google articles and, if possible, get some research about the companies you own. It is vital that you know what you own, that if I asked you on the street why you like a certain stock, you can give me three reasons. If you don't know how they make their money, who their key clients are and what they make if, then I will tell you that you are over your head and should not own individual stocks. I am reminded by this, because, once again, without a mask, I can be recognized and if I am not holding "Nvidia the Second," I can carry on a conversation.

I have had many in the last two weeks and when I have asked this litany of questions, I find myself at a loss as to why almost no one knew what they owned. But they thirsted for individual stocks, because they, like me, think things are better post pandemic. No, that's not a facetious comment. Many, many stocks did better with a stay-at-home economy. A huge number.

So what do I do? I revert to what others do when you are stumped about how to stay in touch with stocks, but want to do less homework. That means buying stocks that are accessible, not stocks like Unity (U) or Snowflake (SNOW) or Twilio (TWLO) or Okta (OKTA) .

I revert to normal businesses people know and I suggest they Google some articles, peruse the conference call, but, above all, like the company's products so you can buy more if it goes down.

Here's some that I have been telling people I like:

First is Ford (F) . I think the Ford lineup is amazing. The electric F-150 series will be incredible. I am eager to get a Maverick for my family, because it is a smaller pickup that will get the job done for the myriad little things I need to do with this farm I bought from that crazy bitcoin foray. I like the competitive edge of the CEO, who says he is going to bury Elon Musk when the Lightning comes out. I even think the Bronco is cool as all get out. Most important, though? I think the chip shortage is ending. My semiconductor friends are telling me the foundries are producing more feature-rich chips and that means Ford can pump out the trucks small business people love and need. Plus, the used car prices at last have plateaued, according to their most important pricing index. Halcyon times.

Second, Costco (COST) : The samples are coming back. Tell me you don't love the samples. You need things in bulk. You want low prices. You want to get all of the things that people don't think of with Costco, like insurance, hearing-aids -- hey, they are a fortune -- jewelry, things around the house. You go and you will buy far more than you first came for. My kind of store.

The kids love this American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) , which we just bought for my charitable trust, which you can follow along by joining the Action Alerts PLUS club. Jay Schottenstein, the CEO, came on "Mad Money" recently and it's clear that his Aerie model has real staying power: 26 consecutive quarters of double digit growth. No flash in the pan, that one. Number one brand in jeans for the 15 to 25 year old group. The best in the mall. How did I know this? I see the credit card bills.

I got up this morning to do my physical therapy. I have been doing it ever since I hurt my back in February. I have this really cool pair of sneakers that fit me perfectly and I love them, but I am fortunate enough to have a vacation house and I am always taking those shoes with me.

So I went on Amazon (AMZN) this morning and lo and behold I saw them for half price. I bought two pairs. Then I went over everything I have bought in the last year and got a bunch of those things. Then I bought a pair of binoculars, because mine were stolen. I paid half price.

Yep, Amazon's universal. I was talking to Alexa, while I was ordering, getting some new music on, asking questions. I saw that despite all of the Sturm und Drang of Amazon being late with things, all the delivery dates were within range. I didn't click on any ads, and I didn't need the speed of Web Services, but the whole thing reminded me about how special the darned company is. I don't care if it's ahead or behind plan for the moment. I would just buy some more when it goes down.

Finally, Apple (AAPL) . I think people who don't own Apple should look what they are holding at this very moment. Yes, right now. Or look at what's in your lap or on the table besides your fork. And then think about the bill you paid last night without knowing it. Think about what you bought in the App store yesterday. Think about what would happen if it would break or get stolen or, left in the Uber (UBER) , or heaven forbid, be dropped into the pool or in the, yes, toilet.

There, that's what you buy in halcyon times. Stocks of companies you know that if they go lower, because things get less halcyon, you are fine with it and buy more. If things go up, believe me, you will participate.

So accept the moment. Don't try for the hard money. Go for the easy kind. That's the best kind.

#EZTALK #你不知道的美國大小事
#五十步笑百步 英文怎麼說 #打開看全文加強實力

本週🇺🇸美國大小事改來介紹煮菜少不了的鍋具啦！！
pot 跟 pan 平平都是「鍋」，但pot指「深鍋」，pan指「淺鍋」
今天先介紹跟pot有關的諺語 4 個～
順便搭上最近很夯的 #正義聯盟 四小時導演剪輯版作為例句

對 #syndercut 有興趣的讀者，不要錯過下週的 #編輯聊英文 podcast！

--正文開始

Have you ever noticed that it seems to take forever for water to boil if stand in front of the stove waiting?1⃣This is the source of the expression “a watched pot never boils,” which means that when you want something to happen, paying close attention will make the wait seem much longer. Ex: Don’t just sit there next to the phone waiting for Lisa to call—a watched pot never boils.
不知道你有沒有注意到，煮水的時候你要是一直站在爐火前等，這等待的時間彷彿就像永遠一樣長？這種感覺正好是諺語a watched pot never boils「某事是急不得的」的由來，意思是：當你越希望某件事情能發生，給它越多關注，那件事情就似乎越晚才會發生。如：Don’t just sit there next to the phone waiting for Lisa to call—a watched pot never boils.（不要只是坐在電話旁邊等麗莎打給你──心急吃不了熱豆腐。）

Pots and kettles left on the stove for a long time tend to turn black. So if the pot calls the kettle black, well, the pot is probably black too. 2⃣ So this idiom is used to describe people criticising another person for a fault they have themselves. Ex: Robert accused me of being selfish—talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
要是把鍋跟煮水壺放在爐火上越久，顏色就會變深變黑。所以如果鍋子笑水壺黑，嗯，鍋子自己也是黑的啊。因此，諺語the pot calls the kettle black就是「五十步笑百步」的意思：Robert accused me of being selfish—talk about the pot calling the kettle black!（羅伯罵我自私──拜託，他是五十步笑百步好嗎！）

When you prepare meat to make a stew, you cut it up into tiny pieces and put in the pot. 3⃣ So the phrase “go to pot” came to mean “deteriorate, decline, be ruined.” Ex: Their business went to pot during the recession.
如果你要燉肉，你會把肉切成小塊再放入鍋裡，因此入鍋（go to pot）延伸有「毀壞、衰弱、完蛋」的意思，像是：Their business went to pot during the recession.（經濟蕭條期間，他們的公司也一起完蛋。）

4⃣But not all pots are made for cooking—like chamber pots, for example. You’d have to be pretty poor not to be able to afford a chamber pot, so if someone “doesn’t have a pot to piss in,” it means they’re very poor. Ex: Steve can’t lend you the money—he doesn’t have a pot to piss in.
不過呢，並非所有的鍋子都是用來煮飯的──像便壺（chamber pot）就不是。便壺這種東西，除非你是非常窮，否則不太可能買不起，因此，如果你說某人doesn’t have a pot to piss in（沒有便壺可小便），就是在暗示那個人非常窮困。如：Steve can’t lend you the money—he doesn’t have a pot to piss in.（史提夫不可能借你錢──他自己都窮到快被鬼抓走。）

【完整翻譯】Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow - Industry Baby

Baby back, couple racksCouple Grammys on him, couple plaquesThat's a fact, throw it backThrow it back
我回來了 帶著滿架子的獎牌
葛萊美拿了好幾座 白金唱片得了一堆
這一切鐵證如山
所以趕快轉過去熱舞來討好我
And this one is for the championsI ain't lost since I beganFunny how you said it was the endThen I went did it again
這是獻給稱霸的冠軍
踏上路以來 我從來就未曾迷失
你不覺得好笑嗎？ 酸民說我玩完了
但我回來了 又大獲全勝

I told you long ago on the roadI got what they waiting for
I don't run from nothing, dogGet your soldiers, tell 'em I ain't layin' low
早在那條老街上 我就說了吧
我有大家引頸期盼的東西
我可不會隨便逃跑
所以告訴你的大軍 我沒有要低調引退的意思
You was never really rooting for me anywayWhen I'm back up at the top, I wanna hear you sayHe don't run from nothin', dogGet your soldiers, tell 'em that the break is over
反正你也從來沒喜歡過我
當我重返榮耀 我要聽到你說
「他不會輕易離場」
所以集結你的大軍 告訴他們休息時間結束了

Need to get this album doneNeed a couple number onеsNeed a plaque on every song
Need mе like one with Nicki now
我得把這張專輯完成
我得再拿下幾座冠軍
我要每一首歌都有白金獎牌
我要和Nicki一起站上高峰
Tell a rap nigga I don't see yaI'm a pop nigga like Bieber
I don't fuck bitches, I'm queer
But these niggas bitches like Madea
告訴嘻哈饒舌仔 我眼裡根本沒有你
我就像小賈斯汀一樣 流行到爆
妹子？我沒興趣 我是酷兒
你們這些酸民就像個老媽子一樣

let's do it
I ain't fall off, I just ain't release my new shit
I blew up, now everybody tryna sue me
You call me Nas, but the hood call me Doobie
開工吧
我沒有跌落神壇 我只是新歌還沒發
我一夕爆紅 現在每個人都想告我
你們叫我Nas 但我家鄉的人叫我Doobie

[Jack Harlow]
My track record so clean, they couldn't wait to just bash meI must be gettin' too flashy, y'all shouldn't have let the world gas me
我沒拿什麼獎 他們等不及就說我沒實力
我肯定是太招搖了 你們不該讓全世界噴爆我
It's too late 'cause I'm here to stay and these girls know that I'm nastyI sent her back to her boyfriend with my handprint on her ass cheek
太遲了 因為老子我已經要在這裡待下
妹子們都愛我
讓我在她的翹臀上留下紅紅的掌印
再回去找她男朋友

City talkin', we takin' notesTell 'em all to keep makin' postsWish he could, but he can't get close
OG so proud of me that he chokin' up while he makin' toasts
I'm the type that you can't control, said I would, then I made it so
謠言四起 我們做著筆記
告訴大家繼續po文吧
他只是羨慕 但他永遠趕不上我
嘻哈大老們為我驕傲 他敬酒的時候還在哽咽
我完全不受控 我就是說到做到

I don't clear up rumors, where's y'all sense of humor?
I'm done makin' jokes 'cause they got old like baby boomers
Turned my haters to consumers, I make vets feel like they juniors
Say your time is comin' soon, but just like Oklahoma
我從來沒在闢謠的 你們難道都沒幽默感嗎
我也不想在開玩笑了 不然怎麼講都是老梗
把我的酸民變粉絲 讓老兵變年輕
你說你的時代已經要來了
Mine is comin' sooner, I'm just a late bloomerI didn't peak in high school, I'm still out here gettin' cuter
All these social networks and computersGot these pussies walkin' 'round like they ain't losers
但我的時代來的更快 我是大器晚成
我在高中不受歡迎 但現在我越來越討喜
這些鍵盤戰士 總是故意說著妹子怎樣 顯得自己比較不魯

你的命運，你的人生應該「隨緣」嗎？
你有資格說「隨緣」嗎？
當你說「隨緣」時，是隨誰的緣？為什麼要隨別人的緣？
還是你真實的意思，是要說「隨便」？

Are you qualified to say that?

最近剛好有個表演作了這首歌
所以就來錄了
『Coldplay 的 Viva la Vida 』
是西班牙文的"生命萬歲 活在當下"的意思
一開始聽到真的非常喜歡他的弦律
再加上鼓聲一進來 馬上身體跟著搖擺
因此好奇而查了一下這首歌的歌詞
才發現他的歌詞非常有深度
Coldplay用輕快異常的節奏
敘述了一段歷史的蒼涼，反差強烈，意味十足。
歌詞第一段
i used to rule the world, seas would rise when i gave the word
是講拿破崙回顧自己的過去的榮耀
但如今發現自己無法統治並擁有世界
相反只能sweep the streets i used to own。

副歌部分的bells and choirs都像征著葬禮的進行
也就是說拿破崙預示到自己的死亡
而mirror, sword和shield都是典型基督教的象徵
意味著拿破崙希望能夠升上天堂。

從wicked and wild wing到who would ever want to be king
都是他在懷念曾經擁有的權力和地位。

head on a silver plate指的就是法國
因為法國最先採用斷頭台執行死刑。

saint peter won't call my name是說
其實他知道並不會登上天堂 因為他是個暴君

=================================

以下附上全部歌詞以及網路上找到最好的翻譯

I used to rule the world
我曾經掌握世界

Seas would rise when I gave the word
號令潮汐

Now in the morning I sleep alone
如今在這清晨孤單躺臥

Sweep the streets I used to own
巡視屬於我的路途


I used to roll the dice
我曾經左右命運

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
玩味敵人眼中的恐懼

Listen as the crowd would sing:
聽著人們的頌唱：

「Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!」
先王已死，新王萬歲！


One minute I held the key
就在剛才我還擁有開啟一切的關鍵

Next the walls were closed on me
轉瞬便走到了盡頭

And I discovered that my castles stand
我發覺自己的根基

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
建立於小信與虛妄之上（鹽柱子與沙子在聖經裡的隱喻）


I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我聽見耶路撒冷的鐘

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
羅馬騎兵在唱頌聖詩

Be my mirror my sword and shield
讓它做我所信奉的，成為我的劍、盾牌

My missionaries in a foreign field
將我的教義散播曠野（這段似乎是展望未來）

For some reason I can't explain
那些原因我無法明示

Once you go there was never, never an honest word
當你在此處再聽聞不到一句真實之言

That was when I ruled the world
就是我的日子來臨的時刻（指最後的審判？）



It was the wicked and wild wind
疾風肆虐大作（啟示錄中提到的六印開啟之像）

Blew down the doors to let me in.
破除一切阻礙後我會到來

Shattered windows and the sound of drums
敲響的鼓聲震天動地

People couldn't believe what I'd become
人們無法相信我為什麼會改變（神子以審判者而不是救贖者的身份顯現？）



Revolutionaries wait
顛覆已經齊備

For my head on a silver plate
將我的頭顱奉上吧（施洗約翰之死，指殉道）

Just a puppet on a lonely string
我不過是一個順應使命的傀儡

Oh who would ever want to be king?
誰願意做這種國王（耶穌被釘十字架的時候，頭上牌子寫著的罪名是「（號稱自己是）猶太人之王」）？



I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我聽見耶路撒冷的鐘

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
羅馬騎兵在唱頌聖詩

Be my mirror my sword and shield
讓它做我所信奉的，成為我的劍、盾牌

My missionaries in a foreign field
將我的教義散播曠野

For some reason I can't explain
那些原因我無法明示

I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我知道聖彼得不會叫出我的名字（聖經中記錄耶穌受難之時聖彼得為自保三次不認主）

Never an honest word
再也沒有真實之言的時候

But that was when I ruled the world
就該是我的日子臨到這個世界的時候



I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我聽見耶路撒冷的鐘

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
羅馬騎兵在唱頌聖詩

Be my mirror my sword and shield
讓它做我所信奉的，成為我的劍、盾牌

My missionaries in a foreign field
將我的教義散播曠野

For some reason I can't explain
那些原因我無法明示

I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我知道聖彼得不會叫出我的名字（聖經中記錄耶穌受難之時聖彼得為自保三次不認主）

Never an honest word
再也沒有真實之言的時候

But that was when I ruled the world
就該是我的日子臨到這個世界的時候

我個人是從頭到尾起雞皮疙瘩...
