分享重溫
學外語靠勇氣和毅力
曾經分享過學外語的經歷與困難
自問自己的中英意文
三文全部不完美
但我不會為此不完美
而感到不滿足及氣餒
學外語當然年紀越小越好
無論在吸收能力或發音上
都會事半功倍
所以兒子一出世
便跟他說廣東話
小時候常帶他到英國、美加等地旅遊
待他可以從日常生活接觸英語
現在他的英語發音比我標準得多
廿年前來到意大利
這個非英語系國家
深深明白到要融入社會
非學意大利文不可
一來丈夫
絕對沒有可能24 小時照顧自己
二來自己性格一向獨立
三來在社會工作機會亦比較多
其實男人
亦需要另一半的幫忙與協助
世事難料
女人要自強不息
移居意大利這麼久
歧視一定遇過
慶幸不是太多
若遇到一些不懂尊重別人
而恥笑自己的意文發音及文法
對於這些思想狹窄的人
絕對不需理會
亦不需要對自己的「口音」感到羞恥
發不到舌頭「佛佛下」的 R 音
又如何
每一個國家的人學外語
大部分都有「口音」So what !
我又不是當專業翻譯員
意大利人說英語
也有「強烈意大利口音」
沒有什麼不妥
我反而覺得很有趣
學外語已經是
對某個國家語言的一種尊重
很多人只懂批評
別人的不好及不足的地方
從來沒有想過
將自己代入人家的角色
想想人家遇到的種種困難
就算你說外語真的很出色
絕不需要貶低別人抬高自己
最討厭那些在雞蛋裏面挑骨頭的人
算了吧!若人人都是會為他人着想
這個世界就天下太平國泰民安
唯有活在當下
繼續奮力向前

【在職場,寫了Email卻得不到回信?有時候,對方其實在等你給他 #回信的理由】
對於經常要撰寫英文書信的職場人來說,無論是開發或者聯絡,你是否準確的表達,常常決定了對方是否要回覆,也決定了客戶是否認同你。
之前曾有一位負責幫公司申請國外專案資格認證的經理提問,他說一週前,他寫信給認證單位釐清某份文件是否也需要填寫,但對方遲遲沒有回覆,眼看申請認證的截止日期再過三天就要到了,到時認證要是沒拿到,公司就不能賣相關產品,造成公司財務損失...
像經理這樣有求於人,卻又等不到回覆的情境,你我都不陌生。為什麼對方不趕快回信呢?明明這些要求都很簡單啊,明明我們只是要知道一個數據、拿到一份報告、確認一個流程而已,手指頭在鍵盤敲個幾下,就可以回信了不是嗎?為什麼都過了一週,卻還沒有消息呢?
其實,我們在職場時常會收到一些「#無理要求」的email。這裡的無理並非無理取鬧,而是「#沒有理由(no reason)」,意思就是:有人會寫信請他提供數據、報告或幫忙處理一些事,但卻都沒解釋「為什麼」,看得他滿頭問號,覺得「我有義務做這些事嗎?」應該沒有很急吧?有時甚至遇到要求涉及機密,更讓他不知所措,乾脆統統不回,收件匣裡一堆信不知如何整理。
這邊舉一個容易被已讀不回的句子:
Could you please send me the latest figure by Jan 11?(可以請你在1月11之前寄給我報告嗎?)
文法正確,但字面上因為少了「為什麼」的解釋,無法令人感受到回信的「急迫性」!
這時只要善用 so that(如此一來),在句子後面補上應該要快點回覆的「理由」,例如,對方只要回信就能:解決什麼問題、達到什麼目的、完成什麼人的要求、趕上什麼時間點等,對收件者「明示」若不早點回信,可能會造成的影響是什麼。
比方說:Could you please send back the latest figure by Jan 11 so that we can finish the test by its deadline?(請在1月11日之前寄回報告,如此一來我們才能在截止日期前完成測試。)
看完 so that 之後的原因後,收件者就會「很清楚」知道若沒有即時回信是會有「代價」的,自然就會加速回信囉!
所以,想要加速對方回信,其實很簡單!就是:給對方一個理由,告訴他「為什麼」這些數據、報告、事情「應該」要馬上處理。
在英文聽說讀寫中,「寫Email」是唯一有機會「速成」的技巧!因為不用面對面即時回應,我們有充足的時間,可以利用平常蒐集的句型、結構、谷歌大神,還有其他各類工具來幫助我們。
這門Joy老師的【商務Email的結構化寫作法】課程,非常強調 #即戰力,把所有壓箱寶一次交給大家,目標是讓大家隔天就能看出明顯的進步。

There's not just one road to the destination, but many roads. You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.
通往目的地的路不止一條,有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步,然後再邁出下一步,幾年下來,將會成為巨大成就。

★★★★★★★★★★★★
I didn’t meet my father until I was 6 years old. My parents had a comfortable, middle-class life in Shanghai, or as close as you could get under communism. But they always wanted to live overseas, and just before I was born, my dad came to Sydney to set things up. I don’t know why, but in the end, my mother and I didn’t join him until I was 6.
•a middle-class life 中產階級生活
•set things up 打點一切
•live overseas 往海外生活
•in the end 最後 (表達在經過一段時間或一連串事件之後的結果)
直到六歲前我都未曾見過父親。我的雙親在上海過著舒適的中產階級生活,或著說,在共產階級下所能得到的最接近的生活。他們一直響往海外生活,就在我出生前,我父親來到雪梨打點一切。但不知何故,直到六歲那年我與母親才終於與父親團聚。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Unfortunately, half a year after we arrived, he left us. That was a huge shock. Our transition had already been quite difficult, as we both didn't speak English. Also, as Shanghai was such a big bustling city, Sydney felt a bit like the countryside, especially on the weekends, as no shops were open back then!
•shock 令人震驚的事件(或經歷);驚愕,震驚 (come as a great shock 讓人倍感震驚)
•transition 轉變;過渡
•a bustling city 繁華都會
不幸的是,就在我跟母親抵達半年後,父親離開了我們。這是個巨大的打擊,因爲我們不會說英文,在適應過渡期本就已過得相當艱辛。此外,不同於上海的繁華都會,雪梨更像鄉下,尤其在週末,那時連商店都不開門。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
We were very much reliant on my dad, not only financially, but also as a conduit into the wider community. So to have that broken was quite distressing. I remember Mum crying a lot. As we had become socially isolated, we didn’t find out anything about Centrelink, so we survived on her savings for a while, and then got some help from her family back in China.
•be reliant on… 依賴...
•a conduit into 進入...的渠道
•distressing (adj.) 令人苦惱的,令人擔憂的
•become socially isolated 變得孤立於社會
•survive on her savings 僅靠的她積蓄過日子
我們相當依賴我父親,不僅是經濟,他也是我們進入更廣泛社區的渠道。因此,當局面被打破時令人相當痛苦,我還記得母親時常哭泣。由於我們孤立於社會,所以我們並不知道澳洲社會福利聯絡中心 (Centrelink)的任何資訊,僅靠母親的積蓄支撐了一段時間,然後從母親在中國的娘家得到一些幫助。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Eventually, Mum moved us down to Melbourne, where we were able to make some new networks and family friendships. But I was bullied a bit at school about things like my food and clothing! Whenever someone bullied me, I would defend myself, but because I didn’t have the language skills to explain to the teacher why, I got in trouble quite a bit. I ended up having to move school 3 times before I came to Balwyn Primary School, which was relatively multicultural.
•be able to 能夠
•make new networks 建立新的人脈,關係網
•be bullied 被霸凌
•language skills 語言能力
•get in trouble 惹上麻煩
•end up 最後處於;最後成爲;以…告終
•relatively 相對地
•multicultural 多元文化的
最後,母親帶著我搬遷到墨爾本,在那我們能夠建立起新的網絡與家庭情誼。然而。我在學校飽受霸凌,例如我的食物及衣物。每當有人霸凌我,我會自我防衛,但我的語言技巧不足以向老師解釋事發原因,因此常常陷入麻煩。後來我不得不再三轉學,直到就讀相對多元文化的博文小學(Balwyn Primary School)。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
After that, I did alright. Music featured very prominently in my life. I had started learning the violin from the age of 2.5 years old and even with all the troubles that were going on in my life, had somehow still kept up with it. As a result, I got a music scholarship to Trinity Grammar School. But even there I used to get into quite a lot of mischief, and would often skip school to go to the movies.
•do alight 過得不錯,做的不錯
•feature (v.) 以…為特色;給…以顯著的地位
•prominently 重要地;著名地;突出地,顯眼地
之後,我便過得不錯。音樂在我生活中佔有重要的一席之地,我從兩歲半開始學習小提琴,儘管生活中事事不如意,我依然堅持不輟。因此,我獲得三一文法學校( Trinity Grammar School)的音樂獎學金。但即使在那,我也常惡作劇、逃學看電影。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
By the end of year 11, I was told I would have to either repeat the year, or consider going to another school, which was quite humiliating for my mum. I decided to move school and surprisingly, I ended up doing quite well in year 12! As a result, I ended up getting into a double degree in Law and Music at Monash.
•repeat the year 留級 ; 重唸一年
•humiliating 令人感到恥辱的,丟臉的
11年級結束時,我被告知要麽被留級,要麼考慮轉學,這對我母親來說相當丟人。我決定轉學,而令人驚訝的是,我在12年級的時候表現優異,最後錄取蒙納士大學法律與音樂雙學位。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
When I started, my first thought was that I didn’t belong because I had done so badly in school up to year 11 and everyone else seemed so smart. But I put my head down, got through it, and ended up getting a job in the legal department of a major manufacturing company, which was a different approach to what most law students do.
•do not belong 不屬於這
•put my head down 埋頭苦幹
•the legal department of ...的法律部門
•a different approach 不同途徑
•approach (思考問題的)方式,方法,態度
當我開始進入大學,最初的想法是我不屬於這,因為我在11年級前都表現不佳,而這裡的人似乎都聰明絕頂。但我埋頭苦幹,咬牙撐過,最後在一家大型製造公司的法律部門找到工作,這與多數法律系學生的途徑不同。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I really enjoyed it. It was hard work, but I learned a lot of foundational business, legal and corporate communication skills. After that I worked in corporate governance in RMIT, then started to moonlight as a lecturer in the Law Faculty. Eventually, they asked me if I wanted to do a PhD and I blindly said yes! I next worked at Swinburne University, and then was head-hunted to lead the corporate legal team at the Commercial Passenger Vehicles Commission.
•foundational 基礎的
•communication skills 溝通技巧
•corporate governance
•moonlight (v.) (尤指瞞著僱主)從事第二職業,兼職
•headhunt (v.) 物色(人才); 挖角
•legal team 法律團隊
我非常喜歡這份工作,這是份辛苦的工作,但我學習了很多基礎商業、法律以及公司溝通技巧。之後我在皇家墨爾本理工大學( RMIT)從事公司治理工作,並開始兼職擔任法律系講師。後來他們問我是否想要讀博士,我便盲目地答應了。接下來,我在斯威本大學(Swinburne University)工作,再被挖角到商用小客車委員會領導法律團隊。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I had a good life, but after a while, I realised I wanted a different kind of job. I could see my seniors were making a lot of money but that their family life was not that good. And looking at my own upbringing, I wanted to be the kind of father who could be present in my own kids’ lives. So I decided on dentistry. It would not only allow me to use the hand skills that I had developed from playing the violin, but also the analytical and reasoning skills that I'd developed in law. Plus it would be flexible, and offer me a stable income and the chance to meet different people every day!
•upbringing 教養
•decide on sth 決定某事或東西
•analytical and reasoning skills 分析和推理能力
•offer a stable income 提供穩定收入
我的生活很不錯,但一段時間後,我意識到自己想要一份不同的工作。我知道前輩們賺了很多錢,但他們的家庭生活並不美滿。看著自己的成長經歷,我想要成為可以在孩子生活中出席的父親,所以我決定改行當牙醫。這項職業能讓我使用從拉小提琴中發展出的手部技巧,也能運用我在法律中發展出的分析與推理技能。此外,這個職業相當靈活,能為我提供穩定收入,並有機會每天與不同的人見面。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
My now fiancée, who was my girlfriend at the time, was also applying for further study, and coincidentally we both got into university in South Australia, so we moved to Adelaide together a few years ago.
•fiancée 未婚妻
•at the time 當時
•apply for 申請
•further study 繼續教育,進修;進一步研究;深造
•coincidentally 碰巧地;巧合地
我的未婚妻,當時的女友,也申請繼續深造,巧的是我們都考上南澳大學(University of South Australia),所以幾年前一起搬到阿得雷德( Adelaide)。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I was lucky to get a university job at Flinders University. Initially, I started out as a casual lecturer in the law school, but I’ve since transitioned into teaching health law and research, and I’m currently writing a few books on the intersection between law and medicine. And also, obviously, trying to finish my dentistry degree!
•start out as… 起初擔任...
•transition into… 轉變到...
我很幸運的在福林德斯大學(Flinders University)找到工作,起初我在法學院擔任臨時講師,但我後來轉換到醫事法教學及研究。目前我正撰寫幾本關於法律與醫學相接的書籍,並努力完成我的牙醫學位。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Mum eventually retrained as a Chinese high school teacher, and she’s still teaching to this day. Like most first generation migrants, she struggled quite a lot, and invested heavily in my success. After we’re married, my fiancée and I are planning to have children, and I’m sure they will have it much easier than I did.
•retrain 重新培養;再培訓;再訓練
•to this day 至今
•first generation migrants 第一代移民
•struggle a lot 掙扎奮鬥許久
•have it much easier 過的比較輕鬆
我的母親最終重新接受培訓,成為一名中文高中老師並執教至今。如同大多數第一代移民,她掙扎奮鬥許久,並為我的成功投資甚多。我與未婚妻打算婚後生孩子,我確信孩子會過的比我輕鬆得多。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Still, a lot of the failures that I’ve had in my life have really informed a lot of my successes. Looking back, I wouldn't really want to change that to have a smoother life.
•inform [正式] 影響某人的態度或意見
https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/inform
•have a smoother life 有一個更順遂的人生
我的生活中的種種失敗確實為我的成功提供借鑑。回首過去,我不會想要改變那些坎坷經歷去擁有一個更順遂的人生。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Over the years, I've learned that perseverance is very important. I hope that through telling my story, I can be an example to others who might be in a similar position as I was: to show that there's not just one road to the destination, but many roads. You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.
•over the years 多年來
•perseverance 不屈不撓,堅持不懈
•be an example 成為榜樣
•be in a similar position 處於相似的處境
•down the road/line/track 將來(的路)
多年來,我學到堅持不懈是至關重要的。我希望透過講述自己的故事,能成為其他可能與我有相似處境的人的榜樣:向他們展示通往目的地的路不止一條,有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步,然後再邁出下一步,幾年下來,將會成為巨大成就。

Hi guys,
So here we go for another quarantine! I'm in HongKong to film a travel show for TLC, and must do a two weeks quarantine (3 weeks if you are not fully vaccinated). I've decided to use this time to get back in shape after putting on some weight during my trip back to France.
So I'm sharing with you my daily routine which helped me to lose around 4% body fat in two weeks, put me back in shape and helped me to feel good!
Enjoy!
