關於 what accent should i use ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

我們到底應該用哪一種英文口音溝通?

真的要看同學的目的和說話場合是什麼。

若是為了跟聽眾產生共鳴，那可能用他們熟悉的口音和說話方式，你說的話才會直達到他們的心坎裡。

同學來看一下Presentality分析李光耀 (新加坡開國最主要的領導人)與人民溝通的方式和他選擇使用的口音。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

📌 不知為何，幾天前我的 Youtube 突然推薦了前新加坡總理李光耀 (Lee Kuan Yew) 接受西方媒體採訪的影片。

我知道很多名人說李光耀是他們最敬佩的領導人之一，但我從來沒看過他說話的影片， 我就決定來看看他是否真的很會溝通。

結果，我的天啊，太強大了。

就算影片是幾十年前的，影像跟聲音的畫質都不是很好，你還是可以感受到他講話的力道、威嚴、還有魅力:

我們就來解析他的一些溝通及說話技巧吧。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

📌 如果這是你第一次聽他說話，你第一個注意到的，很可能是他的英文有多流利。畢竟人家可是在英國劍橋大學受教育的，英文根本就是母語。

但除了口音之外，最能展現語文能力的，是他的用字遣詞。

選擇有效的字眼，及潛在意義。

當第一位記者問他，他對美國在越戰使用武力的看法時（有點敏感啊！），他的回答，每個字都選擇的很巧妙。

*我把值得注意的幾個字，用大寫標示起來：

I would like to see a great deal more CAUTION, a more SELECTIVE EXERCISE of your enormous range of weapons you’ve got, and more BRAINS AND FEET — preferably Vietnamese brains and feet — rather than more power and GADGETRY.

他回答這個問題的時候當然要小心，不能過度批評美國政府，所以他選的字，也符合了這位記者想要表達的 “restraint” (克制)

•Caution — 會比 “Should use power more carefully” 要來的更溫和 (你可以自己唸出來看看，連 caution 的字本身都比較柔和)。

•Selective — 他不告訴美國怎麼使用武力，只是說 be selective，就是要選擇性的使用。

•Brains and feet, rather than gadgetry — 這邊也很巧妙，把當地的人，用 brains and feet 來代表，更能強調他們的長處，比 “local people” 更能夠有說服力。而且他選擇 gadgetry — 就是 fancy tools 的意思，但其實就是武器，但如果他說武器就太直白了，說成 “fancy tools” 又可以強調這個的短處，讓人覺得沒錯，brains and feet 確實比較好。

他能夠選擇好的字眼的原因，其中當然有他受過的教育、以及過去累積的經驗。但同樣重要的，是他不疾不徐的風格。

如果我們把他現場說出上面那段話的每個停頓點寫出來，變成分行，會變成這樣：

I would like…

… to see a great deal more caution…
… a more selective exercise of…
your…
enormous range of weapons you’ve got, and uh…
more brains and feet…

他幾乎每幾個字就會停頓一下，不但給自己時間思考，也可以表現出深思熟慮的感覺。

適時的停頓，可以讓你沈穩、有力!

停頓加上強調字眼的力道有多強大，我們看接下來這段就知道了，這也是我整個訪談中最喜歡的一段之一，在影片中的 17分25秒左右開始。

他對記者表示，他這次來美國，是要看美國人對於越戰，是否真的有決心。

我同樣把他停頓的地方分行，而且用大寫，表示他特別強調的字：

You MUST demonstrate, and which…
I’ve really come here to understand better…
is whether YOU…
as a PEOPLE…
have got that resolution (註：不是解決的意思喔，是決心)…
that stamina, that perseverance, AND…
most important of all…
*這裡明顯放慢速度，還對聽眾眨眼一下
infinite patience, AND…
*這裡一個超級長的停頓…
the capacity to hold back…
your desire to settle this quickly and get it over with, because this is a very different kind of war…
The other side is not in uniform. You are.

*還記得我們上次提到的長短句交錯嗎？這一段是不是就有用到這個原則呢？

我相信看上面的一段，就可以感受到他說話的力道，但還是推薦大家去看影片。這段話他 deliver 出去的方式，實在太好了。

尤其是說到 “infinite patience” 的時候，他整個把音拉的超級長，似乎想要讓很長很長的音，來讓聽眾感受到那個 “infinite”。

Note: 這是另一個演講技巧：就是讓你的音調、語氣、音量等等，來傳達字面上的意思。沈重的訊息，就用低沈緩慢的方式來說。要強調時間很長或過的很慢，就把字句的音本身拉長等等。

他連說到這段的時候，臉上的表情都很有趣，好像在跟美國人上一課：

★★★★★★★★★★★★

📌 Speaking the Audience’s Language

李光耀也很會看聽眾來調整自己的溝通方式。

如上面提到，李光耀上面對西方媒體說話的用字，都是比較有學問的，完全展示他的知識水平。畢竟東方人到了西方，不能被看貶。如果他說的是 highly-educated English，西方聽眾會比較覺得 ah he’s on our level!

你看看他對自己生涯的回顧，寫的多文雅：

I am not given to making sense out of life — or coming up with some grand narrative on it — other than to measure it by what you think you want to do in life.

他不是寫 “I don’t try to make sense of life”，而是 “I am not given to making sense out of life”。他還在後面加個 “grand narrative”。滿文學的。

但他跟自己國家的老百姓說話，就不是這樣了，也不能這樣。

把上面他跟西方媒體訪談的英文，與下面這個對新加坡人民做的演說相比，就很明顯了。甚至連口音也變了！

https://youtu.be/bGMKiv8-bzM

開頭他說：

I hope to tell you what merger means, why it’s good for all of us, why it’s coming, and why some people are deliberately creating trouble and difficulty…

很白話文對不對？

他就是一個很會看聽眾說話的人。當地媒體就曾經指出...

★★★★★★★★★★★★

📌 我以前一直認為，反正新加坡不算個民主，李光耀完全掌權，當然可以照他自己的意思去做事情。但看完這些影片，讀了一些分析，發現我想錯了。

新加坡這麼小的地方，沒什麼資源，周圍環繞著這麼多的勢力，不但有東南亞的大國們，也有外來的勢力：美國、英國、澳洲、日本等等… 他是如何在這麼複雜的歷史背景下，不只持續掌權，生存，而且還打造今天的新加坡？

我相信他的溝通能力，一定是關鍵：對不同的勢力，在不同的時機點，用對的故事跟語言，傳達他需要傳達的訊息。

It’s not just about speaking. It’s about speaking to achieve your goals.

Hello my people from Bao country just wanna show u guys the animation for the motions test of the pets Niku and Baku, and the super fierce attack motion of the Director Bao character. hopefully the game can be released without a hitch next month.

if it has decent sales I’m gonna have a talk with the engineers and the animators to have them add a bunch of bs functions.

And if everything goes well I’m gonna add in the “A-pei character that everyone loves so much, and there’ll also be a giant-sized Tibetan Mastiff : king of fat u can have as a pet.

I’ll let everyone know when it’s released.

There were people that used to look down on me, thinking that I ain’t worth shit being only able to draw.

I’ve encountered a self-centered, conceited mofo before during work,She was all saying that she wanted to collab with me to make a game but all she really wanted to do was to use my rep to do her own thing.

That fucking asshole thought she was the shit and everyone should bow down to her ass. She has fucking broken English skills but she was all like “I’m the fucking greatest in the world.”

She used to talk about how her mom opened up an English cram school for her, some shits about her studying abroad in England for fucking 9 weeks and that she’s da shit for doing so, and also she kept bragging that even the CEO thinks her English is very good.

But guess what tho, her retarded ass can’t even speak or write in proper English. She fucking not only spoke with a retarded accent but her grammar is all over the place, but yet she had the balls to bitch and laugh at others when they make a mistake in English, saying shit like “Didn’t that guy study in England, how come his writings are crap?”

And she would even use onomatopoeia phrases like “ewww” or “eek” or “ouch” to prove that her English is “authentic.”

U know what tho, if ur English is that good there’s no fucking need for u to show off like this or use berate others.

One time, I had enough and wrote a long ass complaint to the boss(About work stuff), that made her shut up for good cause the fucking retard wasn’t able to understand a word of that letter.

That bitch thought she’s better than everyone else and she’s not shy to it.

What’s make matters worse is that she hates dogs cause she thinks dogs are filthy animals.

When my dog Baku passed away she made some nasty remarks that I’ll never forgot and forgive her.

Honest to God I’ve never seen this kind of worthless piece of scum in life, that fucktard is the really the worst kind of piece of crap that I’ve ever met in my life.

Oh yea that stupid-ass motherfucking retard even once said that she was gonna work in Europe, but it’s all bs cause she aint even passed the job interview.

My violin teacher knows this retard too. My violin teacher was like: “dang girl this is hands down the worst kind of bitch being on earth”

Sorry for typing all this shit, just couldn’t stop once I got started.

I hope everyone supports the game that is about to be released.

My colleagues in Europe and I are super thankful of u guys ahhh!

幹因為她根本看不懂全部的文章王八蛋

那人也看不起別人覺得自己很屌
一點都不會覺得不好意思

最糟糕的是她超討厭狗

真對不起打了這麼多狗屁
真是一打就停不下來真的很氣

希望大家支持我們即將上市的遊戲
我和我的歐洲同事們都超感謝你們

NOTES ON CHARLOTTESVILLE:
OR, WHY WHITE PEOPLE DO NOT EXIST AS A PEOPLE

I've heard some several buddies, people I know well and care about (most of them not in comment boxes or in public) asking about the moral equivalency between the neo Nazis, white nationalists, and other white ethnostate type supporters and groups like Black Lives Matter, Antifa (short for Antifascists), and other direct action groups.

I'd like to speak to that comparison a bit and then turn to a more important part of it that I worry about. Before I get to that, I should first say that I've said enough about Trump. Honestly, the guy confuses me. He swings from a nihilistic idiot to a idiotic nihilist. His inconsistencies pile so high that you either get lost in them or you use them wholesale to try and make your point. He wins in the time and toll it takes. He also, I think, has found a very particular niche worldview for his newfound politics and is willing to, at the end of the day, embrace ANYONE willing to give him what he wants the most: affection. Never, at least to my memory, have we had a more emotionally needy president. But that's neither here nor there at the moment.

If you look at most social protests and revolutionary movements you will find a basic set of factions that don't change. They tend to spread between non violent oppositions and even less violent moderates, both winged by some type of pragmatists who are not in principle opposed to violence. Different sides will use the radicals of different parts of this division to throw away the entire argument of one side or another, and this is not an even equivalent exchange in the history of US racial tension. But I want to stay away, mostly, from broad historical claims here.

The point I am driving at is evident when we realize that the Civil Rights activists who practiced non violent acts of resistance were often lumped in with Black Panthers, or others not opposed to violence, although the two groups were ideologically fairly different. But I am not willing to say that they were so different as to not be judged as being on roughly the same side of the discussion. After all, the Civil Rights movement was not just the movement for the passage of legislation nor did it belong to the non violence of MLK Jr entirely. This is not historical. If you don't see that the US institution of slavery was a grave moral evil and that the Jim Crow laws that succeeded it were demonic in their formal and informal application, and that, as a result, those determined to end these things were in principle on the side of justice, then you really have no moral compass. Say what you will of the vast differences between MLK Jr and Malcolm X, but it is hard to argue that their social protest was off key in the tonic.

The more popular -- but equally as appropriate -- comparison these days is to Nazi Germany. (Of course, a great deal of the sentiment of the Civil Rights movement was a direct result of the effects that US wars had for those within its ranks who were not white, but that might be slightly off the mark in this case.) There is a bright and clear moral line between the Nazi ideology and its perverse Final Solution and those who sought to oppose it. This line, by the way, finds its way directly into the symbolism and rhetoric of the neo Nazi's at Charlottesville. Not only were there swastikas, there were Nazi crosses and other niche paraphernalia. There were the salutes, yes, but there were other salutations and insider ways of speaking going on. There were also the tiki torches, the modern Pepe Wal-Mart replacement for the burning torch rallies and burning crosses of the KKK. The grand knight of that sick group was standing by. They brought their own military-grade armed militia to protect those who came in homemade riot gear. This was not the making of a peaceful protest or free speech of the sort that we see the Westboro Baptists practice (not that they are emblems of public virtue, far, far from it!).

As I said earlier, if you find yourself unable to distinguish between Nazism in its original form and neo Nazis, white nationalists, and others like them and those who through what ever means they find useful (which one can disagree with in practice while still endorsing in principle) oppose them, then you are morally corrupt. If you can't quite figure out how the math works in this moral calculus, you are morally mindless and incompetent.

Of course, within any opposition to these (supposedly) easy immoral targets one can find many arguments and even passionate disavowals. But there are real moments when these lines are simply drawn and one must take a side. I have in the past even used the language of "alt left" in an entirely different usage, but I regret it deeply, now, seeing its life-cycle. I will not exchange my allergies to the ideological types of identity politics I have long opposed nor will my more specific critique of the critics settle. All that fuss gets set aside in these events. If I have to choose whether to stand next to a neo Nazi or Antifa, I'll choose the latter on pain of eternal damnation. To those who say you don't have to choose, that risk is one I am not willing to make. I would rather be a black panther than a lynch mob, as much as my truer sympathies lie somewhere else. Despite all my oppositions to modern warfare, I would pick up arms against the Nazis long before I'd "peacefully" cheer on their side. I think most people feel this way.

But something remains and this is what I worry about and even dread most: we are not fighting Nazis or lynch mobs. Most people would never go to march in Charlottesville. And even when you talk to many of the white nationalists they will say something along the lines of "I'm not racist." To them, their present politics is no longer that of the slaver or the KKK. They don't wear hoods and they don't want to own people as property anymore, it seems. They hate the Jewish people for reasons I am still not able to process in my mind, but their argument is more separatist than colonial -- so they claim.

They seem to think that the USA was founded by *their* ethnic ancestors, who hailed from Europe, gathered together in this ancient race called "White" that has recently, especially after the activism surrounding police brutality against African Americans, fallen into a disrepute that is sending the world into a globalist terror to come, in the biggest of the big governments.

Now, these conspiracy theories do not need to be true or believed to find where they hit a live nerve in a lot of people. Some people do ask why white people cannot have rallies for themselves without longing for ethic purity. Some people do think that white folks today are being washed away through interracial marriage, but many more who don't mind interracial romance still worry that white people are on the losing end of public sentiment. Lots of people who try to counter this tend to make it worse by appealing to gotcha replies about privilege or other things. I tend to find that too complex.

I recently commented to one of my friends that I don't think of myself as having very many "white" friends. Some of you might balk since many extremely intimate people in my life are, supposedly, white. And of course if we use one way of thinking about what "white" is, that is true. On the same logic, I would be, in certain real scenarios, white as well. But what I meant when I wrote to my friend was that I see my friends of European descent as from where they are. Those who don't know where they are from share with me a genealogical confusion that I can also understand.

Maybe this weirdness is partly because, on the vulgar ethnic analysis I am used to, I am neither white nor Black. And, of course, as many Africans who are neither black nor American will remind you, things become quite complex depending on what rules we are using to count the deck.

My point is this, and if you read nothing else, please read this: There is no such thing as "white people" in history. Most folks who use the expression were not allowed to use it only a few decades ago. The white supremacy of the KKK of old hated Blacks, yes, but also Mexicans, and Catholics, and Jews (of course), and atheists, and more. Depending on how you see it, whiteness was either more or less ecumenical, but just as ideologically religious.

Let me say it again: There will never be a "white ethnostate" based on European culture because the history of Europe is covered in ethnic feuds and wars. If you've never heard of a guy named Napoleon, check him out. I'm being serious. If you think of yourself as being "white" in some serious ancestral way, you're not. You are wearing a name tag your family was GIVEN at some point but never had by its own right. There are no white people in this familial sense. (Settle down critical race theorists, I am well aware of the whiteness that is real, too, but this ain't it.) There is no such thing as a white European culture or of a white heritage in that sense at all.

Again and again: The most scandalously false part of the neo Nazi mentality is as old as its previous, original half baked idea in Hitler's weak mind. The concept of a master race doesn't work for mastery of people nor does it work for figuring out who you really are. We come from places with names and languages and peoples and legacies that are concrete. Some of us lost a lot of memory at the hands of another, and others lost through the same hands. Today we tend to think that the ancestors of slaves, or indigenous peoples, or mixed-up mestizos are the ones who lack a strong identity and the rest have theirs in bold font. Not true. From your family to your soul, you don't really know who you are if you are using ideological pet words to hang the hat of your self.

I'm not a real Mexican and I'm not a real American -- and I'm no Canadian, either. My father was an orphan, so I've taken his bloodless name as my own, a Portuguese word by etymology. I of course will pass as a white guy at a Black family reunion, just as I passed as an indigenous guy today on the pier (until I produced a fishing license instead of a status card), just as I passed as an Iranian at a birthday party last week, and so on. But the real facts of who I am don't work in the abstract.

This is why if you want to find a better substitute for whiteness find a Greek Festival or an Irish Pub or a German Beer Garden or a French Restaurant. This is food and drink, and it is a set of multicultural cliches, but enjoy an Italian family dinner and tell me there is nothing about who someone is at stake there. The point is that the real identity we can and do celebrate is everywhere and it is not necessarily riddled with guilt, even if sometimes it could use some (or far less). None of it calls itself "white." None. If you are using "white" as your only name tag, then I am sorry to say that you've been fooling yourself. You don't have a people by that name. There is no such thing. Your great-great-great grandmother would mostly likely not answer to "white."

Personal history quickly becomes social, national, and regional histories and we find ourselves, again, at Charlottesville. All I can say for now about it, to my dear and beloved friends who I suspect think that they are "white," is this: We cannot have white rallies because there is no such thing as a "white" people. Black Lives Matter is not a movement for everyone who is of one dark color in the world -- it is about the US experience for those living within the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow over the past three years (some Black activist groups are critical of this aspect of BLM, by the way). If you want a "white" identity, then look to the folk expressions of it that we have and should treasure like music, food, and regional folk ways of being. Poetry, dance, dialect, accent, story. These are not safe or sanitary places -- I tend to think this story of a "white people" got made up there, too -- but they also don't pretend like people are any more or less related than they really are.

Donald Trump is a German-American man, not a white man. His whiteness is an entirely different issue that I am disinterested in getting into right now. If you wonder why white people are seen as bad sometimes, it is largely because of this false assumption: that white people exist as a people when they so manifestly do not.

For the longest time, before I started my YouTube channel, I was worried that I'll be judged by the public for my accent. I was worried that my North American friends would judge me for having a Malaysian accent, and I was worried that my Malaysian friends are going to think that I have a fake American accent (now that I think about it, it feels ridiculous but I was there!)

So I didn't get started - yes, the fear of judgement and not knowing what language to speak actually held me back from launching my channel. I totally understand how scary it is to start your YouTube channel - to put yourself out there and available for the public to criticize. And I also understand the struggle of wanting to use a language you are familiar with, or a language that can potentially reach out to a bigger reach.

In this video, I shared my two cents on whether you should speak in English or your native language for your YouTube channel. I hope you find this useful! ?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, this is Daniel.
First of all, I would like to thank all of you who are now watching this video cause you are now increasing my views right now. (Haha! Thank you~~~~)

Second, I’m really thankful for those who have responded my last video right here. (Ding) This one. I really appreciate it so much because some of you guys’ comments were like “I really love your video”, “What a nice accent”, and last “Maybe you can consider being a Youtuber!!!!!!!”

The reason why I promoted this video is that I want to provide a channel where a lot of foreigners can learn more native Chinese speaking, and the results, to be honest, was better than I originally expected. And also, to be honest, those who have shared this video to your foreign friends, I am really really really thankful for you because you guys really helped me a lot!

Thank you guys again for what you guys have done for me. Sorry for blah blah blah, again, if you would like to see more video like this kind, or you can also give me a “like” so that I know and you guys can encourage me.

Ok! So in today’s video, I would like to teach you guys another five native common phrases of Chinese. Remember, this one is more native than the last one, which is the episode one. So if you want to keep learning, justh keep watching! Let’s go!
1. The first word that I’m going to teach you guys is the word “讚”. This word is usually used when you want to say something that is really good, usually, it goes with the gesture ‘thumbs-up’. So now you know, the action of “liking” my photos on Instagram or “liking” my videos on my YouTube Channel is called “按讚” . 按 actually means “push or press” in Chinese, so “按讚” means give me a like! Also, most of the cases we use this word “讚” is when we taste something that is really delicious or yummy.
Example:
(Eating… 讚)
So, please remember this word because it is quite useful. Let’s say it again. 讚 讚 讚!!!!!
2. 傻眼 Now, guys, pay more attention to this word “傻眼” because this is way too native for Taiwanese people! “傻眼” literally means “stupid eyes”, but in Chinese, we mean “something that is so good that it makes my eyes or your eyes feel stunned” or “Something is so bad that it makes you speechless”. So this word is really useful because you can use it to express something that is so good or something that is so bad. In both cases! Maybe you don’t understand what I’m talking about! So let’s take a look at our example and you’ll more understand.
For example, maybe your friends are now having a party in the classroom and the moment when you walk in the classroom and you found the classroom was in a mess. You will be like “傻眼”. So in this case, we use “傻眼” to mean something that is so bad or something that makes you speechless. Another very good example is that when you see your friend who is typing very fast on their laptops or computers, and you’ll be like “傻眼”, “傻眼”, “傻眼”. How can you type so fast? So in this situation, we mean something that is so good and the thing makes you stunned.
Example:
傻眼 You know how to use this word, right? Let’s take a look at No.3.
3. “隨便” This word is typically used when you want to say “Whatever!” This is quite typically used when your friends offer you something that has two choices, and you need to choose one of them or one among them, but you don’t have a preference. And if you wanna say “whatever” you can say “隨便”.
Example:
A: Hey, Daniel, what do you want to eat for dinner? You want a hamburger or French fries?
B: 隨便
But remember, this is not quite suitable for you to use when you want to say it to somebody else who is elder than you. For example, your boss! You cannot use it to reply your boss, or you’ll be sacked (fired). It’s actually like English. You won’t say “Whatever” to your boss, right? So in Chinese, it’s the same case. You won’t say “隨便” to reply your boss! But, here’s the question. What do you have to say when you want to answer that both are fine for you or either is fine for you to your boss or somebody whose level is higher than you? Let’s take a look at No.4.
4. “都可以” or “我都可以”. This means “both are fine (for me)” or “Either is fine (for me)”. “都” actually means ”both, or all” in Chinese.
Example:
Boss: Daniel, what do you think we should eat for tonight’s meeting?
Daniel: 都可以。
5. “你說什麼?” “你” is “you”, “說” is “say”, “甚麼” means “what”. So in Chinese order, we’re actually saying “你說什麼” “You say what?” So it means “what did you just say?” “你說什麼?”
Example:
A: (on the phone) Yeah, you know what $%$*$*%##^@^Y*U^(^ER#%$&$%&#
B: Huh? 你說什麼? Huh? 你說什麼?

Thank you all!!
