[#LanguageLab] 轉載這篇文章,因為說的問題雖然很簡單,卻是學生的常見文法錯誤:”a monument to the importance of Humanities and Art",只refer to 逗號之後立刻緊接的subject,所以逗號之後應該是「Professor Cha」而不是「HKU」。就像「A notorious Hello Kitty fanatic」,逗號之後必須是「my wife」而不是「I think my wife」。至於文章其他內容,就不用深究了。
//一篇令港大蒙羞的悼文/林沛理
香港大學英文水平的低落繼續叫人吃驚。金庸(查良鏞)離世,港大以校長張翔的名義發悼文,寫道:「A monument to the importance of Humanities and Art, HKU was privileged to have benefited from the legend himself when he served as Honorary Professor of the School of Chinese in the Faculty of Arts.」
金庸與港大的關係匪淺。早在八十年代,他已在港大設立「查良鏞學術基金」;其後獲港大頒授榮譽博士學位,並擔任文學院中文學院榮譽教授。他死後,中文學院發的悼詞形容他對社會及港大的貢獻「長存不朽,流芳百世」。
校長的悼文當然也是志在歌功頌德,但這樣寫英文,卻變成了厚顏的自誇。將以上一句話譯為中文,意思只能夠是:「香港大學是樹立藝術與人文學科價值的豐碑,巍然屹立;在其(金庸)出任文學院中文學院榮譽教授期間得到他的惠澤,港大深感榮幸。」
這是最差勁的詞不達意——奉承和恭維變成自吹自擂。在別人的喪禮上吹自己的喇叭(blow one's own trumpet at other's funeral),如此失禮,香港的最高學府就不怕令它的師生、教職員和校友蒙羞嗎?
在港大圖書館可以找到的權威英文寫作指南《風格的要素》(The Elements of Style)說得一點也不含糊,展開句子的分詞片語,只可用作形容這句句子的文法主語(A participal phrase at the beginning of a sentence must refer to the grammatical subject)。換句話說,悼文要不貽笑大方,必須改寫成:「A monument to the importance of Humanities and Art, he served as Honorary Professor of the School of Chinese in the Faculty of Arts. HKU was privileged to have benefited from the legend himself.」//

【吳文遠十一遊行案法庭陳詞 — 中文譯本】
法官閣下:
從小我父母便教我要有同理心,要關顧社會上相對不幸的人。儘管在早年職業生涯上取得不俗成就,但我從來沒有意欲將追求個人財富視為人生目標。
當我在國外生活了多年後回到香港定居時,我為這個我自豪地稱之為家的城市,存在如此嚴重的社會不平等而感到困惑和擔憂。 令我震驚的是,社會如何漠視對窮人和少數族裔的歧視。既有的社會結構,有時甚至會鼓勵這種歧視繼續發生。同時,我們也無法一如其它地方,享有基本的民主權利和自由。
這些都是我參與社會運動以至參與政治的動機。我希望盡己所能,為被忽視的弱勢階層鼓與呼,替不能為自己發聲的人說話。
與許多人相比,我很幸運能夠接受良好教育,並擁有一定程度上的財務自由和社會地位。我們很幸運,能夠過上舒適生活,並有自由選擇我們的道路。我選擇為社會平等而奮鬥。其實這個法庭上許多人都差不多,我們都喜歡香港,這個稱為家的地方。或許我們在生活中選擇了不同的角色,但目標都是相同:為他人服務。
可悲的是,我擔心我們已經逐漸成為社會制度中的例外。當下許多香港人根本沒有那些機會,包括貧困長者,欠缺向上流動機會、被邊緣化的年輕人,還有犧牲所有時間但只能為家庭僅僅維持基本生活的工人。這些人再努力,生活中的選擇仍然局限於維持生計。對他們來說,「選擇」是負擔不起的奢侈品,更不用說如何決定自己的命運。
在生活壓力下,我們的視野通常很難超越自身的社交圈子,更難的是對陌生人展現同理心。兩極化的政治分歧產生越來越多裂痕,令我們有時候無法互相理解、和而不同,亦不願意試圖尋求某種程度的妥協。
我一直希望,一個較民主的制度能夠成為一道橋樑,彌合上述社會鴻溝,或者至少容讓我們選擇怎樣共同生活。
2019年的動盪,為整個社會帶來了沉重的打擊。無論政治立場如何,我敢肯定這個法庭上有許多人,都為此而傷心欲絕。整座城市都被不信任、仇恨和恐懼所淹沒。今天固然不是討論這個問題的合適地方,但我希望法庭能夠理解,僅靠司法機構並不能解決已經根深蒂固的社會政治鴻溝。
我們需要集體力量、勇氣、誠實和同理心來修補我們的家。看看幾位同案被告,他們在服務社會方面有著非凡的紀錄。比起囚禁在監獄,我相信他們能夠對社會作出更大貢獻。
為了追求全體香港人的權利,我的確違反了法律,並且已準備面對法院的判決。令人敬重的幾位同案被告,畢生捍衛法治,為民主而戰,為無聲者發聲,我十分榮幸能夠與他們並肩同行。
我相信終有一天,籠罩我們城市的烏雲將會消散,光明將會重臨,愛和同理心將會戰勝歸來。

Avery Ng Man Yuen’s Statement
Your Honour,
I was brought up by my parents to value the importance of empathy, to care and to feel for others in our community less fortunate. Although I enjoyed great success early in my career, I never had a desire to pursue personal wealth in the more traditional sense.
When I settled back in Hong Kong after years of living abroad, I was baffled and disturbed by how severe the social inequality existed in a city I am proud to call my home. I was struck at how discrimination against the poor and the minorities far too often goes ignored or can even at times is encouraged by the established social structure; and how we cannot have the basic democratic rights and freedoms that other places enjoy.
These were my motivations to join social activism and enter into politics. I chose to spend my energy to speak for the underprivileged, the disenchanted and often ignored segments of society. To offer a voice for those who could not speak for themselves.
Compared to many, I am privileged to have a great education and a certain level of financial freedom and social standing. We are fortunate enough to be able to lead comfortable lives and have the freedom to choose the path that we take. I chose to fight for social equality. Many of those in this court are not that much different. We all love Hong Kong, the place we call home. We chose our different roles in life but with the same aim: to serve others.
Sadly, I fear that many of us are increasingly the exception to the rule. Today far too many Hong Kong people do not have that chance, whether that is our elderly who live in poverty, marginalized youth with few opportunities for social mobility, or workers who give up all their time slaving away to provide the bare minimum for their families. These people all struggle to make ends meet with very limited options in life. “Choice” for them is a luxury that they cannot afford. Let alone having the gratification of being able to dictate their own destiny.
I recognise, with the pressures of life, it is often difficult for people to see beyond their own social bubble. It is harder still to acquire empathy for strangers. Polarized political division increasingly has driven a wedge between people, making it sometimes impossible for people to understand and empathise with one another, to disagree agreeably, and attempt to find some level of compromise.
It has always been my hope that a more democratic system could be the bridge that heals this social divide or at the very least allow us to choose how we can live together in our home.
I’m certain that none of us in this court wanted to see the turmoil in 2019, which has seen our whole society suffer regardless of political preference. Distrust, hatred, and fear has engulfed Hong Kong. Today is certainly not the right forum for this immense topic. However, I hope the court can understand that the Judiciary alone cannot resolve the deep-rooted socio-political divide which exist.
It will take our collective strength, courage, honesty, and empathy to mend our home. Looking at my fellow defendants with their extraordinary history in serving this society, I believe they can do far greater good among us in society than being locked in prison.
In pursuit of the rights of all Hong Kong people, I have broken the law. I am prepared to face the court’s judgement. I am proud to be in the company of my esteemed fellows who have spent their lives championing the rule of law, fighting for the democracy and voicing for the voiceless.
I believe the storm-clouds that currently reside over our home will one day lift, and make way for a bright and clear day. I believe love and empathy will eventually prevail.

Hi my name is Janet Lee and here's my short video to hopefully give you guys a better idea of my teaching experience as well as my teaching approach.
各位朋友你們好,我叫JANET 希望可以透過這部2分多鐘的介紹短片,讓您了解我的英語教學經驗及我的教學方法。
My teaching journey first began in high school when I was helping my own grandparents pass their US citizenship test.
我的首次教學經驗是我在美國讀高中的時候開始,當時為了幫助我的祖父母通過美國公民考試。
For this I downloaded materials online, I was creating lesson plans and also was doing a lot of recordings explaining everything in both English and Chinese.
為協助他們更容易通過公民考式,我在網路上搜集整理了資料,並且創建了一套適合他們學習的課程規劃。並且耐心的用英語及中文解釋一切。
From here, they ended up spreading a lot of the curriculum I was making for them to their own friends and so naturally I began leading a class.
自此爾後我的祖父母也將這套適合華人學習的英語教程分享傳遞給他們的朋友,所以我自然而然的開始帶領他們學習英語。
This lasted for two years and this is where I really truly fell in love with teaching.
這教學經歷持續了有兩年之久,這也是我愛上教學的原因所在。
Another large classroom experience when I had was for my uncle's university, Sichuan Normal University.
另外一個大型的英語教程專案是我叔叔曾就讀的四中師範大學。
Here they had a yearly community service event where they had one student from each discipline go to a very large high school in a much less privileged area.
在這裏,他們每年都會舉辦社區服務,讓每個學科的一名學生去比較資源匱乏的社區進行公益教學服務。
I taught English and also again I really truly felt like I was making a real impact. It was a life-changing experience for me.
而我負責的教程就是英語,這次的經歷讓我印象深刻,我感覺得我發揮正向的影響力同時也改變了我的生命經歷。
Other than that, most of my teaching and tutoring has just been for my classmates as well as my two younger siblings and their friends as well.
除此之外,我大部份是協助我的同學以及弟弟和他們的同學做教學輔導。
This I genuinely just enjoyed doing because I liked helping others.
我非常的喜歡教學,因為我喜歡幫助別人學習成長。
Since I began my finance job, which is my most recent job experience, I really haven't had the free time to do this anymore or things I used to enjoy, but I quit two months ago.
自從我開始從事財務工程相關工程(這是最近年來的工作經歷)以來,我就比較沒有空閒時間去做這件事或者我過去喜歡的事情,近二個月就就辭去了那份財務工程的工作。
Now I have been learning again through online classes and learning digital design from mentors, as well as teaching again at Sunday school to first graders.
現在我透過線上課程與導師再次學習有關數位設計的課程,並在假日學校向一年級的學弟學妹做教學。
This will last up until I move back to Taipei in September where I'll be helping my dad with his own small business, continue learning on my own time and hopefully also be able to tutor.
這將持續到我九月搬回台北,我會協助幫忙我父親的小型企業,並持續學習並希望能夠成為一名英語教學者。
As for my teaching approach I really believe in a flipped classroom experience.
關於我的教學方法,我真的通相信翻轉課堂體驗。
This would be where the student is also teaching the teacher as well.
這也是學生在教老師。中文叫「教學相長」
I love this because I think I love interacting with people and I love seeing students interact with each other.
我喜歡這種互動教學方式,同時我也喜歡與人交流,也喜歡看到學生間互相討論交流。
This would be through group work, presentations and games. Basically it's not just one person talking and the other person listening.
這會將透過團體活動,像簡報發表又像遊戲般的方式,基本上像傳統的英語教學方式一個人獨白演講。
This would apply the same way even with one-on-one tutoring I would make sure the student is speaking back to me, so that I know they're also learning and have feedback as well.
即便是一對一的英語教學我會會採用相同的方式,讓課程更生動,讓學生能回饋交談英語,這樣更有助於英語學習並從中得到樂趣及反饋。
