🌺Disney’s Bet on Mulan and the Economics of Streaming
《花木蘭》直接登上Disney+，這部要價近900元的電影能幫迪士尼賺錢嗎？


🏹In the latest pandemic-inspired Hollywood shake-up, Walt Disney Co. on Tuesday said it would offer its live-action remake of “Mulan” for sale Sept. 4 exclusively on its new streaming service, Disney+, at about $30 a pop, instead of in theaters as planned.
華特迪士尼公司4日表示，將於9月4日在其新的串流媒體服務Disney+獨家上線真人翻拍版電影《花木蘭》（Mulan），收費約30美元（約台幣880元），而不是按原計劃在電影院上映。這是新冠疫情引發的最新一項好萊塢變革。

-inspire: 刺激、引發
-remake: 翻拍
-a pop: 一張、一個，意思同 a piece
✍常見用法：tickets at $10 a pop 一張票10美元

🦜Other studios have moved movie premieres online in recent months—winning few friends among theater operators. But none has done so in this particular way, as a premium-priced add-on for streaming customers already paying a monthly fee for otherwise all-you-can-eat entertainment.
近幾個月來，其他電影公司也紛紛將影片首映搬到了網上，這種做法招致影廳營運商不滿。但迪士尼把這部電影作為附加服務提供給串流媒體用戶，且定價不低，這些用戶已經為套餐型娛樂服務支付每月訂閱費，到目前為止，還沒有一家電影公司採用過如此特別的方式在網路首映。

-翻譯技巧：“winning few friends among theater operators”
原句直譯為「在影廳營運商中贏得很少朋友」，太過直覺且不符合中文語境。此時我們可以換另一個角度思考原文想傳達什麼意思，將「贏得很少朋友」轉化為「招致不滿」，兼顧英文原意且更符合中文邏輯。

-premium-priced: 高訂價
✍常見用法：add/pay a premium 支付溢價、加價


🏮For now, though, it’s unclear whether Disney’s move was a one-time response to extenuating circumstances created by a global public-health crisis, as Chief Executive Bob Chapek suggested Tuesday on a conference call with Wall Street analysts, or a sign of things to come.
不過，目前尚不清楚迪士尼此舉是對全球公共衛生危機造成的特殊環境所做的一次性反應，還是未來模式的一個訊號。迪士尼首席執行長Bob Chapek 於4日在與華爾街分析師的電話會議上暗示是前者。

-one-time response: 一時反應
-extenuate: 減輕、緩和
-conference call, con-call: 電話會議


🥇Debuting a $200 million movie on a proprietary, premium video-on-demand service is without precedent, so there’s no clear way to estimate how online sales of Disney’s “Mulan” would stack up against a hypothetical run in theaters.
在專用的優質影片點播服務首映一部製作成本2億美元的電影是史無前例的，因此沒有明確方法來估算，若與假設的影院放映情況相比，《花木蘭》線上銷售情況會如何。

-proprietary: 專用的、專有的
-without precedent: 前無來者、史無前例，同 unprecedented
-stack up:累積、疊高，此處指「推動銷售量」

[美國文化觀察]

川普前幾天說, 以後的移民要在移民美國時, 就要會說英文. 經濟學人這篇文章講的挺好: 其實移民移居美國後, 早晚都會說英文的.

在我身上其實也應證了這說法. 旅居美國十幾年, 雖然平常有跟此地的台灣同胞保持互動, 但因為身處在美語環境, 也為了生存下去, 所以我漸漸地習慣說英文, 聽英文歌, 看美國電視, 看原文書. 我也很清楚地意識到, 自己的母語(中文)能力在退化中. 所以我前幾年開始接英翻中的case, 而兩年前也開始藉著寫中文個股分析與開部落格來彌補這問題. 很多時候不是我故意在秀英文, 而是我真的不知道該用甚麼中文字來表達意思了, 或是我覺得用英文能夠更傳神地表達我的想法.

"Rather than refusing to learn English, today’s immigrants actually abandon their first language much more readily than previous generations. German, the language spoken by the president’s ancestors, is a case in point. Germans arrived in America in big waves in the middle of the 19th century. Generations later, they were still speaking German at home; a small number were even monolingual in German despite being born in America. Only with America’s entry into the first world war did German-speakers drop their suddenly unpopular language.

Today the typical pattern is that the arriving generation speaks little English, or learns it imperfectly; the first children born in America are bilingual, but English-dominant, and their children hardly speak the heritage language. This is as true of Hispanics as it is of speakers of smaller languages—and all without a lecture from the White House."

以下是全文:
DONALD TRUMP’s young administration is adept at one particular manoeuvre. Whenever the president is having a terrible time in the press, for some embarrassing statement, interview or imbroglio, the White House announces a far-reaching policy designed to stoke up his nationalist base while infuriating his opponents. In February it was the proposed ban on visitors from seven mainly Muslim countries. Last month it was the announcement on Twitter that he would not let transgender soldiers serve in the military.

In each case, the new policy tends to hurt people who can be portrayed as threatening outsiders to ordinary Americans who work hard and pay their taxes. Yesterday’s announcement to back a months-old plan to overhaul America’s immigration rules falls in the same category. If implemented, it would reward applicants with sought-after job skills who already speak English, at the expense of low-skilled workers without language skills.

This may seem perfectly sensible: after all, skilled immigrants are a good thing. But as an ongoing shortage of farm workers in California shows, unskilled immigrants are just as crucial. Equally, it is a good thing if immigrants speak English. But they need not speak it before arrival: as it is impossible to participate fully in American life without speaking English, the incentive to learn it quickly is overwhelming.

The administration’s emphasis on English skills therefore harks back to an old myth that the linguistic make-up of America, which has been an English-dominant country for a long time, is changing: that the status of English is somehow threatened, especially by Spanish, but more generally by the notion that English is no longer needed in the economy.

The myth goes something like this: today’s immigrants want to come to America to isolate themselves into communities that do not speak English. American policy tacitly encourages this by not being tough enough in requiring English. In the past, immigrants happily learned English quickly; “my grandpa came here from the old country but he refused to speak his old language; he insisted on getting by in his broken English until he was fluent.” But today’s immigrants no longer do so, as multiculturalism has replaced the melting pot.
All of this is wrong. America began as a thin band of English colonies clinging to the eastern coast, vastly outnumbered by speakers of other languages. The foreign-born percentage of the population peaked not last year—the administration likes to talk of “unprecedented” numbers—but in 1890, when the share of foreign-born residents was at an all-time high of 14.8%. This proportion has risen again after declining in the mid-20th century (it stood at 12.9% in the 2010 census). America today has multilingual big cities with their voting instructions in Korean, Chinese and Russian.

Historically, this is the norm rather than the exception: the years from 1925 to 1965, when immigration was almost completely cut off, were unusual. But those born from the 1940s to the 1960s became used to the low numbers of foreign-born residents, regarding this state as normal. That in turn supported a belief that America has always naturally belonged completely to English.
For most of its history, America was precisely the “polyglot boardinghouse” Teddy Roosevelt once worried it would become. That history has turned out very well not just for America, but for English—the most successful language in the history of the world. Along with American power, English has spread around the globe. At home, wave after wave after wave of immigrants to America have not only learned English but forgotten the languages their parents brought with them.

Rather than refusing to learn English, today’s immigrants actually abandon their first language much more readily than previous generations. German, the language spoken by the president’s ancestors, is a case in point. Germans arrived in America in big waves in the middle of the 19th century. Generations later, they were still speaking German at home; a small number were even monolingual in German despite being born in America. Only with America’s entry into the first world war did German-speakers drop their suddenly unpopular language.

Today the typical pattern is that the arriving generation speaks little English, or learns it imperfectly; the first children born in America are bilingual, but English-dominant, and their children hardly speak the heritage language. This is as true of Hispanics as it is of speakers of smaller languages—and all without a lecture from the White House.

Dwagie -【Refuse to listen】feat.Nas/大支【不聽】feat.Nas
相信聽過中文版本“不聽”的朋友都知道這首歌是在寫有一個人他要前進他夢想中的山頂,沿路大家都跟他說路途充滿艱辛他不可能到達的了,眾人不斷對他威脅恐嚇或冷嘲熱諷,但那人不為所動好像沒聽到一樣,而最後他終於到達了他夢想中的山頂,當大家問他成功的訣竅時他卻還是像沒聽到一樣沒回答,原來…他是聾子.
他只聽的見他心裡的聲音,朝夢想一步一步踏實的前進..
我也用這首歌來勉勵自己,唱英文rap前進美國市場絕對有超多困難得克服.
首先是用不是母語的語言創作,因為時差問題,我除了每天白天處理國內人人有功練的事情,接著每天晚上就是跟國外饒舌歌手skype喬英文歌詞.不只歌詞意思要喬到100%精準,更要喬到聽起來像我的用字.
然後很多人也笑我發音不夠標準,其實我也同意ＸＤ.
但我也知道我只要一直比別人更努力我就會越來越好,我有把握不久的將來我能把英語像母語一樣創作與饒舌.
再來是更多人笑我前往美國發展是不切實際是癡人說夢,但對我而言,那裡就是嘻哈的發源地,是我一切夢想的開始.
還記得以前我們一群人在台南的小巷子裡跟朋友開玩笑時總是幻想說有一天要去紐約發展, 說有一天要跟這些偶像們合作.沒想到我真的像拼圖一樣集滿了我最喜歡並影響我最深的三個饒舌歌手Nas,Talib Kweli,Ghostface Killah去完成了第一張英文EP.小時候的玩伴們感動的說以前開玩笑的話語沒想到有一天居然成真了～
原來“夢想”只要肯拼,肯踏實的去做,你就有可能做的到 .
別忘了,迪士尼的一切都是由一個夢想和一隻老鼠開始的～
所以當沒有人相信你的時候 你越要相信自己 ！
保持信念,傾聽自己心裡的聲音,讓我們一起前進 前進 前進！！！

This song is about a man wants to go to a place where no others have ever gone to. On his way, everyone is telling him how dangerous and impossible the trip is. Eventually the man reaches his destination. When people ask him how he does it, he has no response – because he is deaf.
This is a story I use to represent myself. A lot of people have told me how impossible my goal is, but I have kept my faith and moved forward.
