人類注定要離開地球!
We are destined to leave the earth!
Key Words
- planet行星
- pessimistic悲觀的
- to struggle掙扎
I think one day human beings will have to travel to a space station looking for a planet they can call home.
I don’t think we can overcome the climate crisis. I am not pessimistic. If you look at so many people on earth elsewhere struggle to survive every single day to put meals on the table or to pay off their housing loan you will agree with me. I am not saying that those people don’t care about the future of the earth. They probably do, but if they have to struggle to survive each single day, how could they do something today to help the earth survive 100 years from today. It’s like the lottery ticket you buy today can only be cashed 100 years from today. Will you buy it?
To fill up the gap between the poor and the rich is the solution to many global problems.
我認為有一天人類將必須旅行到某個太空站,尋找他們可以稱為家的行星。
我不認為我們能夠克服氣候危機。我並不是悲觀,但看著地球上其他地方那麼多人,每一天掙扎著要把三餐放到餐桌上,或付清房貸,你就會同意我說的。我並不是說他們不在乎地球的未來。他們也許在乎,但是如果他們每天掙扎才能夠存活,他們怎麼可能在今天做些事情來幫助地球100年後能夠存在呢?那就好像你今天買的樂透彩券在100年後才能夠兌換現金,那你會買嗎?
弭平貧富差距才是許多全球問題的解決方案。
20 不定詞與動名詞
🎯成為全文說寫輸出專家,進一步了解全文輸入輸出訓練。
動名詞及不動詞簡介
- 動名詞(V-ing)>表達常態或習慣動作的名詞。>我喜歡游泳。I like swimming.
- 不定詞(to V.)>表達想做的動作的名詞。>我想去游泳。I like to swim.
複習句子結構中的詞:
- S. + V. + O. + (Prep. + O.) + Adv.
(主詞 + 動詞 + 受詞 + 介係詞片語 + 副詞)
我們 經常 在那動物園裡 看見 象。
We see elephants in the zoo often. - 複習詞類
Tim小心地在街上開著他的老爺車。
Tim drives his old car on the street carefully.
名詞 動詞 形容詞+名詞 介詞+名詞 副詞
句子結構會出現不定詞或動名詞的地方:主詞 / 受詞 / 介係詞片語。
學習者常犯的錯誤:
- 像中文一樣的把動詞作為主詞或受詞。
錯誤(1):開車是很危險的,我們討厭開車!
Drive (主詞) is dangerous. We hate drive (受詞).
正確(1):Driving is dangerous. We hate driving.
正確(2) To drive is dangerous. We hate to drive.
說明:不定詞與動名詞是用來當作名詞的。動詞「開車」當作名詞,將動詞變成名詞的方式有兩個:
(1) 動詞drive >driving / (2) 動詞drive >to drive - 介係詞片語裡面的介系詞+名詞的名詞一定要用動名詞V-ing。
We are talking about sports.
We are talking about playing sports.We are talking about to play sports.We are talking about play sports. - to有兩個角色
不定詞to+V裡面的to並不是介係詞,但是I go to school every day.這個句子裡面的to是介係詞,所以to+名詞。
I am on my way to a singer.
I am on my way to becoming a singer.
I am on my wayto become a singer.
兩者在使用上有何差異?
- 動名詞(V-ing)>表達常態或習慣動作的名詞。
我喜歡游泳。I like swimming.
常接V-ing (動名詞)的動詞。
(1) enjoy listening to soft music
(2) practice speaking English
(3) finish doing my homework
(4) quit smoking
(5) mind opening the window
(6) keep moving ahead - 為什麼? 因為這些(動詞+受詞)的含意通常是表達常態動作
更多例子
(1) My mom enjoys working in the garden.
(2) Working in the garden is my mother’s hobby.
(3) Mary practices speaking English every day.
(4) They kept walking in the mountain. - 不定詞(to V.)>表達想做的動作的名詞。
我想去游泳。I like to swim.
(1) want to relax
(2) hope to go home
(3) decide to play baseball
(4) learn to speak English
(5) need to work harder
(6) plan to attend medical school
(7) promise to help Mary
(8) expect o meet Tim
(9) can’t wait to take a trip
更多例子
(1) Tom decided to buy a new car.
(2) Don’t forget to turn off the light.
(3) I plan to take a trip around Taiwan this summer.
(4) To take a trip around Taiwan is my dream. - *可用not to + V. 來表達相反意義
(1) I decided not to buy a new car. 我決定不…
(2) I plan not to take a trip around Taiwan this summer. 我計劃不…
(3) My parents told me not to play computer games often. 我爸媽叫我不… - 可接to + V 或V-ing但意義相似的動詞。
like/ love/ hate / begin/ start/ continue/ can’t stand不能忍受
更多例子
(1) It began to rain. = It began raining.
(2) I started to study much harder. = I started studying much harder.
(3) I can’t stand to go to school on weekends. = I can’t stand going to school on weekends. - 可接to + V 或V-ing但意義卻不同的動詞。要訣:體會動詞的含意。
(1) try to V:努力嘗試去…/ try V-ing:試試看…
We tried to solve the problem.
You can try turning on the fan if you feel hot.
(2) stop to V:停下來做…/ stop V-ing:停止做…
The police officer stopped to run after the bad guy.
The police officer stopped running after the bad guy.
(3) forget to V:忘了做…/ forget V-ing:忘記做過…
May forgot to do her homework.
May forgot talking with the man who she helped.
(4) remember to V:記得做…/ remember V-ing:記得做過…
I remembered to call my grandmother.
I don’t remember seeing him last month.
以上就是對於不定詞及動名詞所作的介紹!記得,不定詞跟動名詞就是名詞。動名詞這個名稱還容易明白,就是將動詞變為名詞的方法,但是"不定詞"還真是令人捉摸不定,無論是動名詞Ving或不定詞to Ving,使用上就保持一個觀念就對了,那就是它們不是動詞,而是名詞功能的動作。

another/ other/ others/ the other/ the others 使用上如何區分?
another/ other/ others/ the other/ the others 如何正確使用,看完就完全清楚!👌
掌握二個關鍵就不會弄錯:
- 最後一個(組)就用the,還沒提到最後一個(組)就用another或other。
- I have 2 good friends. One is Mary. The other is Mandy.
- I have 3 good friends. One is Mary. Another is Mandy. The other is Joan.
- I have 10 classmates. Some live in Taipei. The others live in Taichung.
(說明:10個同學只住兩個地方) - I have 10 classmates. Some live in Taipei. Some others live in Taichung. The others live in Tainan. (說明:10個同學分別住在三個地方)
- another及other可以當代名詞,也可以當形容詞。上方的例句裡的都是代名詞。若改成形容詞用法如下:
- I have 2 good friends. One is Mary. The other one is Mandy.
- I have 3 good friends. One is Mary. Another one is Mandy. The other one is Joan.
- I have 10 classmates. Some live in Taipei. The other classmates live in Taichung.
- I have 10 classmates. Some live in Taipei. Some other classmates live in Taichung. The other classmates live in Tainan.
富國的窮人
儘管仍有不少人生活在貧窮中, 但在台灣並沒有真正的貧民區, 可是在美國洛杉磯這個大城市, 貧民區就在繁忙的街道上.
Poverty in the metropolitan Los Angeles
If I were not here in LA, I wouldn’t believe this wide gap between the rich and the poor in the US. You know, we tend to believe that America is a land of opportunity and so on. Maybe it still is but, what I see and what I hear convinces me that the growing gap between rich and poor in this country is consigning people to a fate that is probably inescapable. That is, if you are born poor in America today you are likely to die poor. If you are born rich, the same.
It is so real that it is only a line across from rich to poor. The line in LA is the street. The street is so wide that people on the poor side can hardly get across the line to the other mentally and financially. I was told by my friends here that poverty is even brutally and clearly seen in many rural areas. All of these glimpses make me experience America from the most brutal bottom.
寫自己的故事吧!
Write your own story now no matter how old you are!
Everyone seems to be on top of their game. Yet, you feel stuck.
You work day-by-day, but you don’t get the results you are hoping for. You keep writing your successful story, but no one looks at it. You think it is too late for you to prosper. After all, it seems like everyone already grabbed the opportunities existing. And the only option you have is to just give up.
But wait up! There are people who want to tell you it’s never too late for a dream to prosper.
1. Gladys Burrill
The first person Gladys Burrill is truly one incredible woman. She had been an aircraft pilot, mountain climber, hiker and a horseback rider. But these things are not what she is known for.
he had her first marathon when she was 86 years old. She became famous after completing the Honolulu Marathon at the age of 92. Even though it took her nine hours and 53 minutes to finish, she is proud of reaching the goal she set.
2. Susan Boyle
The second story! Susan Boyle participated in some singing events in which others mocked her more than judged her ability to sing. Her mother encouraged her to audition for Britain’s Got Talent. She was hesitant because she believed people were being chosen for their looks.
She eventually took the courage to try as a tribute to her mother. She was 47 years old back then.
Some parts of the audience started rolling their eyes in disbelief of the kind of ambition she has. Despite the crowd’s doubt, Boyle chose to ignore them and went on singing her winning piece “I Dreamed a Dream”. She finished the song receiving a standing ovation.
3. Alan Rickman
Alan Rickman became a famous actor, but it was never easy.
He took a degree in arts at 18. That led him to become a graphic designer. Rickman and other friends opened a graphic design studio. However, the calling of acting was really strong, so he decided to drop the business and pursue acting professionally. His passion and perseverance for acting served him well through various roles he was given. He is 42 years old when he took the role of Professor Severus Snape of Harry Potter series.
4. Ray Kroc
Immediately after volunteering during World War I, Ray Kroc spent his career selling paper cups and milk shake machines.
He went to California to meet the restaurant owners who needed his milk shake machines. He was amazed by the simplified and smooth production of their process. Convinced on the efficiency of their process, he joined forces with the owners at the age of 53.He purchased the company at age 59 and developed strict guidelines and procedures.
His dedication to the company led him to transform McDonald’s into the world’s largest franchise before his death.
Though Kroc was not the founder of the fast food idea, he was smart enough to see the future it had. He immediately jumped on that opportunity and worked its way up.
5. The fifth story must be yours.
Take the Courage to Showcase Your Work or Passion now.
If you want to be a photographer, post your work in a photography group and ask for constructive criticisms. If you want to be a singer, post a video of you singing.
Whatever it is, be brave to accept feedbacks and welcome rejections. The more rejections you face, the tougher you’ll become. One day people will tell YOUR STORY, or MY STORY!
催生最適合台灣的英語訓練!
全文說寫輸出訓練?常有人問我為何走一條難走的路?因為我知道這條路能通往學習的目的地,而且這是一種選擇,不是偶然。
歷經職場商場的起落,我進入了這個應該都不會再改變的職業生涯。20年前亞洲金融風暴後,我開始在地球村教英文,動機是將我這個鄉下小孩學習英文的「偏方」跟學生分享,因為我求學時期靠著閱讀中英文章,然後翻譯成另一個語言也能練就不錯的英文本事。我用過去從事建築工作的實踐精神,教學生如何自己創造英語學習環境,在家也能大量使用英語。後來我前後進入兩個跟語言有關的研究所,先是成大英美文學研究所,另一個是第一科大口筆譯研究所。
在成大修完所有學分後,基於緬懷童年田野生活及對少數民族的關懷,我的畢業論文選的是生態主義(Ecocriticism),評論美國原住民作家Leslie Silko的著作Ceremony,文評大自然對人的影響,結果指導教授Cook博士提出到美國作實地研究的建議,我因小孩剛出生,沒有出國兩個月的條件而作罷,最後沒能完成論文取得學位。唸文學或語言學並沒有與時事太多的結合,每兩個星期也許有一次上台報告的機會,但對我教英文的動機想達成的目標沒有輔助教果。
我繼續教書工作,不喜成規的我一直在摸索適合台灣的英語教學模式,同時又進入了口筆譯研究所。口筆譯研究所是最容易進,也是最難進的研究所。容易是因為不需要讀任何專業科目,像語言學或文學史。困難是入學考時當場做口譯、逐步口譯及描述國際時事。口筆譯研究所沒有甚麼理論課,都是實作,涵蓋法律、財經、政治、科學、行銷等,即使是多年後的今天,還常想起老師要我們翻譯基因改造文章的那幾節課,以及法律翻譯時的課堂笑話。那兩三年的每一天都大量輸入各個領域的資訊,然後再試著以另一語言輸出。這其實也是我高中時期在屏東家鄉自學英文的方式,只是學校更有系統,而且有老師評分、提供建議。我感覺中小學生能這樣學習英文不但有效率、有效果、又省錢。我的畢業論文就選擇了口筆譯技能於台灣中學之運用,當時可參考的類似論文不多,但是能寫跟工作及理想結合的論文是件幸福的事,是完成論文最快的方式。
超凡遠距英語口筆譯的英文名稱是Beyond Norm,分別來自我兩個寶貝女兒的英文名Bibi及Nini,當然也顯示出我對英語教學變革的期待。這個訓練課程不是突發奇想,而是多年來的摸索醞釀。超凡遠距英語口筆譯課程設計上有幾個原則:
1. 學習英文過程讓學員獲取大量資訊,弭補E世代缺乏閱讀現象。
2. 學習英文過程注重中英文全文輸出,訓練整體演說及寫作的邏輯及組織。
3. 學習英文過程強化專業知識,涵蓋科學、財經。
4. 遠距訓練:以雲端為平台繳交作業,並接收老師的訂正及改善建議。
5. 文本訓練,不需要緊盯螢幕上炫目的圖影片。
6. 訓練課程設計上優先考量效率及效果。
也許超凡遠距英語口筆譯訓練課程不會成為主流,畢竟輸出訓練是令人掙扎,比較困難的,那就像有人開始嘗試靠運動減肥,但終究放棄而選擇其他速成方式。但是不少學員從初級起一期期接受口筆譯訓練,成效卓著,這讓我們覺得這條路走得值得。😊
