「世界為我開啟,讓你帶我遊歷」
世界上的語言有兩種——「無聲與有聲」。
無聲的語言,需要開啟心眼,用心感受傳遞,
有聲的語言,需要開啟想像,大膽努力練習。
做為一位外景主持人,我相信除了流暢的口條,更重要的是,用心去閱讀體會那藏在深邃眼裡、銀白髮髻、交織掌紋間的無聲語言。八年,兩千九百多個日子裡,我搜集了如繁星點點的故事與感動,閃閃亮晶晶地在我心中的小宇宙。默願著有那麼一天,我一定要站上世界的舞台,與大家分享這些亮光,分享台灣的美好。
我很感恩雖然沒有大紅大紫,但一路上滿滿是貴人與奇蹟。今年我接下了一個新節目,我將帶著五大洲12位外國朋友來認識台灣與客家文化,此時,有聲語言變得十二萬分重要,曾經短暫擔任過國小英文老師的我,用英語來表達並不陌生,但是要更精進絕對需要更有系統的學習,謝謝 TutorABC 為我開啟了新的學習大門,透過線上課程,我可以隨時隨地進入學習的情境中。
於是這天我來到美麗的北海岸邊,開始我的第一堂英文課,熱愛大自然的我,也能藉此忙裡偷閒,更重要的是,終於有這機會我能帶外國朋友看看台灣的美了!
Teacher Madison住在英國劍橋,透過螢幕鏡頭,我看見她教學的熱情與喜悅,我也藉著簡單的英文語句,跟她說此時我在這太平洋的寶島上,那海有多藍,那陽光的味緒多和煦,那礫石的觸感有多親膚,那男女老少有多熱情。
我選擇戶外活動的課程單元,課前TutorABC會先提供課程內容,讓我可以提早預習。上課過程中,Madison先帶我認識每個單字的解釋,再藉由生活經驗的分享,引導我自在地用英語來表達,最後的學習評鑑也順利地將我的學習進度完整紀錄!
我們說說笑笑,也用英文交換彼此眼前的美好景物,有幾度我眼眶紅紅,也許是橘紅夕陽映眼的關係吧,當她說起受教育的過程中,她一直都知道太平洋上有一個美麗的寶島,叫作「Formosa Taiwan」,而她也一直期待著有天能夠來台灣旅行,我們靜默了幾秒,同聲說——
So glad to meet you here today through
TutorABC!
﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
學習新的語言可以是一件很快樂的事,只要我們願意將多餘的思慮放一旁,找到童年時跟著大人牙牙學語的純真與熱情。TutorABC幫我們找回那份對於語言學習的動力,但是首先要打開你的心,用心感受,大膽學習吧!

“You opened my door to the world, and accompanied me on this global journey”
There are two kinds of languages; one is conveyed by sound while the other one is utterly silent. The “silent” language is perceived by an observant and open heart. On the other hand, a language with sound requires a wild imagination and relentless training.
As an outdoor TV host, I believe that what matters, besides speaking eloquently, is to read between the lines and to be aware of the stories in our elder’s eyes, silver hair buns, and intertwined fingerprints. During the past 8 years of my career, I collected a plethora of anecdotes, and they are just like sparkling stars in my little universe. I hope someday I can stand in front of a big crowd and show everyone these stars, which represent the gifts of Taiwan.
I am eternally grateful for those heroes and miracles along the way, even if I didn’t make it big. This year, I am hosting a new TV program. I will introduce Taiwanese and Hakka culture to twelve foreign friends from five continents. Because of this, my language skills are crucial to the success of the program. I am familiar with communicating in English since I have been an elementary school English teacher. However, in order to reach a higher level of proficiency, I need to learn in a more systematic and organized way. Thanks to TutorABC, I found a new gateway to learning, and through their online courses, I can always start learning regardless of time and space.
So, one day I came to the gorgeous northern coast, and started my first English class. As a nature lover, I can also release my stress from work. Not to mention, I finally had the chance to introduce my foreign friends to the beauty of Taiwan and its natural scenery.
Ms. Madison, my teacher, lives in Cambridge, United Kingdom. Via the camera of her computer screen, I saw her joy and enthusiasm in teaching English. With a few simple English sentences and phrases, I described the sight of this gifted island on the Pacific Ocean: the azure sea, the blazing sun, the textured rocks, and the elated people.
I chose the course related to outdoor activities. Before class, TutorABC will provide me with course material for previewing. During class, Ms. Madison will introduce the definition of the words, and encourage me to use those words to share my stories and experiences. Before the class ends, a learning assessment will be conducted to record my current progress.
We chatted, laughed, and used English to share the breathtaking view in front of us. Occasionally, my eyes were slightly red, probably due to the orange sunset that projected onto my eyes. Ms. Madison talked about her school years, and how she always knew that there is a beautiful island named “Formosa Taiwan” on the Pacific Ocean. She always looked forward to visiting Taiwan. After a few seconds of silence, we said to each other simultaneously, “So glad to meet you here today through TutorABC!”
Learning a new language can be very joyful and rewarding, if we are willing to forget all the excessive concerns and recollect the pure enthusiasm of learning our mother tongue from adults when we were still children. TutorABC can help us find back that motivation for learning language, but first, we ask you to open your mind, observe with your heart, and learn without fear!

★★★★★★★★★★★★

那「白手套」呢?
White gloves? Not really...
The term "white-glove" is typically used as an adjective. It means providing a very high level of service, or involving a lot of care about small details:
白手套(white-glove)通常用作形容詞。表示提供非常高的服務水準,或與諸多照護細節有關:
➣The cruise company does not want to risk alienating the other passengers who don't get the white-glove treatment.
郵輪公司不想冒險讓其他未接受白手套待遇的乘客變得疏遠。
➣We know that when extra attention is required, our white-glove delivery service will not disappoint.
當您有特殊要求,我們的白手套配送服務一定不會讓您失望。
—Cambridge Dictionary
https://bit.ly/3hZTw0r
Wait…that doesn't fit our context!
★★★★★★★★★★★★
According to the South China Morning Post, the expression “white gloves,” when used as a noun, was coined in Taiwan!
“The innocuous-sounding euphemism ‘white gloves’ generally refers to a middleman or outfit that launders dirty or corrupt money under a seemingly legitimate front - dirty hands concealed by a pair of white gloves. The expression, coined by the Taiwanese, is catching up fast on the mainland as rampant corruption is exposed at all levels of the bureaucracy.”
9. coin (v.) 創造(新詞或新的表達方式);首次使用(某一詞語)
10. innocuous-sounding 聽起來無害的
11. launder (v.) 洗(贓款) ; money laundering 洗錢
12. legitimate front 合法的地帶; 僞裝(人或機構的)僞裝;假裝的樣子
13. conceal 隱藏
14. catch up 了解(或討論)最新情況
15. rampant 猖獗的;蔓延的
16. bureaucracy 官僚體制;官僚主義
據《南華早報》的報導,「白手套」作為名詞的用法,首見於臺灣!
「聽起來無害的委婉用語『白手套』通常是指中間人或公司,他們在看似合法的地帶清洗髒錢或賄款——髒手則藏於白手套當中。這種由臺灣人首創的表達方式,正在中國迅速傳開,因為猖獗的腐敗現象已於官僚體制的各個層面暴露出來。」
詳見《SCMP》:https://bit.ly/3i2cqUA
★★★★★★★★★★★★
我個人會用「middleman」或「go-between」。
請注意,「middleman」是指批貨後轉售他人者,或協助他人安排商業交易者。該詞本身並不具有任何犯罪或不法行為等負面意涵(negative connotations),亦須有上下文才足以呈現「白手套」的概念。
另一方面,「go-between」是在雙方無法見面或不想見面時,將消息從一人(或一個團隊)傳給另一人(或另一個團隊)的人。例如,聯合國代表將充當兩國領導人的中間人(或掮客)——「go-between」,而它的搭配你可以用「act/serve as a go-between」。「go-between」 的一個同義詞是「intermediary」。
❖再次提醒各位,若缺乏前後文,這些用語就不能完全代表「白手套」的涵義。底下我將舉出一些在腐敗情況中所使用的例子。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I. middleman
"Many of these middlemen stay on the right side of the law, offering advice and connections. But others cross the line. They grease the palms of officials and local managers, and they put a buffer between the payoff and the client, offering plausible deniability if the authorities catch on."
17. connections 社會關係;人際關係;可資利用的熟人
18. cross the line(行為)越過界線
19. grease (v.) 用油脂塗;給⋯⋯加潤滑油
20. buffer 緩衝物;起緩衝作用的人
21. payoff 賄款;遮口費
22. plausible deniability 合理推諉
「在這些中間人裡,有許多人站在法律這邊,提供建議與人脈。但其他人卻踰越了界線。他們成為官員與地方經理人的潤滑劑,並在賄款與委託人之間置入緩衝物,起到合理推諉的作用,以防當局上門。」
詳見《紐約時報》:https://nyti.ms/39MMwkM
★★★★★★★★★★★★
II. intermediary
"For China’s elite, a 'white glove' is an intermediary who launders your money; they handle the dirty deeds, while you keep your hands clean. 'White gloves' are often well-connected Westerners, such as former top politician Bo Xilai’s two European fixers, British businessman Neil Heywood and French architect Patrick Devillers. Using a BVI shell company, the two men helped Bo’s wife Gu Kalai buy a 7 million euro French mansion and rack up rental fees on it."
23. elite(社會)上層集團;掌權人物;出類拔萃的人;精英
24. deed(尤指很壞或很好的)事情;行為
25. well-connected 與顯貴人物有交情的;與有影響人士有來往的;很有背景的
26. fixer 籌謀者;安排者(尤指精於用不正當手段來操辦事情的人)
27. BVI (The British Virgin Islands) 英屬維京群島
28. shell company 空殼公司
29. fixer 安排者(尤指精於用不正當手段來操辦事情的人)
『對中國的權貴來說,「白手套」是幫你洗錢的中間人;他們負責處理骯髒的事,讓你的雙手保持乾淨。「白手套」通常是與權貴有交情的西方人士,例如前副國級領導人薄熙來的兩個歐洲籌謀者——英國商人海伍德以及法國建築師德維利耶。兩人藉由一家英屬維京群島的空殼公司,幫助薄的妻子谷開來買下一座價值700萬歐元的法式豪宅,並大大提高了租金。』
詳見《石英財經網》:https://bit.ly/30lFnEJ
★★★★★★★★★★★★
III. go-between
"The offence is similar to bribery with one important difference: trading in influence concerns the 'middleman', or the person that serves as the go-between the decision-maker and the party that seeks an improper advantage."
30. offence (US offense) 犯罪行為;罪行
31. bribery 賄賂
32. trade in influence 斡旋賄賂;影響力交易
33. serve(為⋯⋯)工作;(為⋯⋯)服務;盡職責
34. improper advantage 不當利益
『此一罪行與賄賂相似,但有一個重要的區別:斡旋賄賂係指「middleman」或人充當決策者與尋求不當利益方的中間人(掮客)——「go-between」』。
詳見 Anti-Corruption Resource Center:https://www.u4.no/terms
★★★★★★★★★★★★
