#死因與fixation
明報英文 | 毛孟靜
//一些新聞，看了後會永誌不忘，在腦海中深深烙印： lodged in one's mind 、 burned into one's memory。

像最近就一名15歲少女裸屍在海中被發現的死因研訊 death inquest，結論既非自殺 suicide，也非被殺 homicide，那是不是意外呢？不知道，因為沒有證據，裁決死因存疑。問題是，這宗案件本來就疑點重重。

· The case has been ingrained in the psyche of this city. 案件已根深蒂固栽進這個城市的精神中。

西報有如此的一條有關標題：
· Why Hong Kong is fixated on the death of a teenage girl whose body was found at sea.

Fixated ？這個字泛指「沉迷於一套想法而不能自拔」，含意頗為負面。一翻手頭的牛津字典， 解說為 having an abnormal emotional attachment to someone or something ；中文是「迷戀某人某事，異常依戀」。

Fixated ，也就是附帶一點病態。不用這字，改用 keen 着緊、focused 聚焦，也許會比較好。

那篇報道的副題形容學生陳彥霖的死亡個案，是 the subject of wild conspiracies and unsubstantiated rumours ，游談無根的陰謀論和謠言皆從中取材。雖然報道內容也不過是把事件始末敘述一遍。

· The report didn't actually reject the conspiracies nor dispel the rumours. 報道並未駁回有關的陰謀論，也沒有闢謠。

案件的重重疑點，已有眾多的報道及評論，在此不贅。回說 fixated 一字，視乎上文下理，當然也可以有正面肯定的意思。譬如說，會用來形容激情、矢志要達到目標：passionately motivated to achieve one's goal。
· They are fixated to win the championship.他們一心一意要贏得冠軍。這句的 fixated ，就等同 unwavering 堅定不移、 dedicated 專心一意。

但仍要小心，fixated 改用名詞 fixation，就幾乎等同負面及批評的話。看以下新聞標題：
· Airport Authority's fixation with third runway is blinding it to other options. 機管局對第三跑道的盲戀，令其看不見其他選項。

· Singapore is right to question university rankings fixation. 新加坡對沉迷大學排名的質疑，是對的。

較貼近生活的例子是：
· I fail to understand your fixation with donuts. They are so grossly sweet. 我不明白你對「冬甩」的迷戀，它們甜得怕人。//

★ 為什麼比爾蓋茲、Steve Jobs、Sheryl Sandberg 的畢業演說都用 collocations (搭配字)? ★

to drive innovation, phenomenal innovation, to guard one's heart, to throw a tantrum, to put out an issue, to know one's limitations, take a risk, stick to a routine, to voice concerns.....

[1] 取自比爾蓋茲和其夫人Melinda 2014年在Stanford U 的演講

“The world of science and technology is driving phenomenal innovations – and Stanford stands at the center of that, creating new companies, prize-winning professors, ingenious software, miracle drugs, and amazing graduates. We're on the verge of mind-blowing breakthroughs in what human beings can do for each other.”

[2] 取自力克胡哲振奮人心的一系列 videos

I also threw tantrums saying “I can’t do this” “I can’t do that” when I was a kid.

[3] 取自2010 年 Amazon 創辦人Jeff Bezos 在Princeton U 的演講
“Will you guard your heart against rejection, or will you act when you fall in love?”

[4] 取自 Steve Jobs 2005 年在Stanford U 的演講
“Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue.

[5] 取自 Natalie Portman 2015 在 Harvard U 的演講

“The point is, if I had known my own limitations, I never would have taken the risk, and the risk led to one of my greatest personal and professional achievements”

[6] 取自 Sheryl Sandberg 2014 年在Harvard U 的演講

“When I joined, I asked Mark for a commitment that he would give me feedback every week so that anything that bothered him would be aired and discussed quickly. Mark not only said yes but immediately added that he wanted it to be reciprocal. For the first few years, we stuck to this routine and met every Friday afternoon to voice concerns big and small.”

Answer：不是他們都用collocations, 而是要講英文要他們不用到collocations是非常困難的。但中文的思維會阻撓collocations的建立，加上學生不知道怎樣最正確的學習，口說和寫作能力才會停滯不前。

★ 你還只會用「國中英文單字」說英文、寫英文作文嗎？★

常常有英文程度已經很不錯的人跟我說覺得英文寫作很難。通常診斷這樣的人（如同在面試英文老師般)，我會跟他說「你計時寫一篇英文作文讓我改看看。這樣的人，通常文法會錯很多口說因講話速度快偵查不出的小錯誤、用詞因為缺乏海量collocations （搭配詞）的學習導致很多「中文邏輯/思維湊出的合文法用法」、一句一句間的邏輯關係不夠緊密外，最常見的狀況，也是台灣學生普遍有的現象 (a pervasive/ubiquitous phenomenon) 就是只會用國中英文單字寫作，偶爾跑出一個最近從外語雜誌/新聞背的單字，但 因為缺乏在「有充分語境下的搭配字/用法」學習，而用得生硬無比。下面50個TOEFL/GRE字的用法，全部以這些字常出現的語境而呈現，希望大家能將他們抄下來記下來，這樣的學習，長年累積一定程度會大有增進。
