It’s easy to get personal, hurt and offended when people deem you and your job as #nonessential. Artistes fall into the broader category of #artists, which refer to people whose work are involved with the arts. To come up tops with an overwhelming 70% is not a mean feat to begin with in the non-essential awards poll, albeit it being a generalised and simplified one in very testing times by the coronavirus! 😅 Not surprising, considering we need more scientists for the vaccine and mathematicians for the statistics, and we probably don’t need artists to paint a nicer picture for us now right? 😂
Simply put, you’re not top of the food chain, nor do you form the base of the pyramid, no problem with that. And one should not let one’s vanity and self-importance get in the way of the realisation that no one is indispensable in this world! 😨 Well, on a lighter note, it just means you’re put into the same group as #bubbletea, dramas and soap operas, cafes, holidays, as opposed to #toiletpaper, supermarkets, sanitisers and masks (in these times). You’re not common staple and basic daily necessities, you’re perhaps another level, you’re #luxurygoods (if that makes you feel any better about yourself). 🤣
Let us not take away the focus of the article which essentially, is to highlight the importance of and to show our appreciation to our #frontlineworkers in this time of the pandemic. 😊
Health, money, food, love, happiness, laughter, well-being. Can you say which is essential and which is non-essential? You could probably rate which is perhaps more or less essential but yet it’s subjective to person, time and place. A developed and mature society will begin to realise and appreciate the importance of #culture and #character, that it starts from #within and forms its very #basis. There’s #survival and livelihood, the bread and butter, day to day. And there’s also #life — the growth, meaning, significance, the #soul and #beauty of it. One cannot be devoid of the other. 😘

還記得乳製品的英文怎麼說嗎😏 可以在文章裡面找找看喔!
1⃣ Bread is the staff of life.
2⃣ Man does not live by bread alone.
3⃣ earn one’s daily bread
4⃣ take the bread out of sb.’s mouth
5⃣ break bread

After covering dairy products, it’s time to move on to another kind of food—bread. Bread has long been a staple of the Western diet since ancient times, so of course it has made its way into all kinds of proverbs and idioms.
聊完乳製品之後,我們來聊聊另一種食品:麵包。自古以來,麵包一直是西方飲食不可或缺的主食,所以跟麵包相關的諺語與生活用語想必也不少。
Let’s start with a proverb that has its origins in the Bible: 1⃣ Bread is the staff of life. If you’re picturing someone using a baguette as a staff to walk with, it may give you a sense of the proverb’s meaning: bread is what supports us in our lives, or provides us with sustenance. But bread here is also a symbol of all food, so the real meaning is that one must eat in order to survive. Ex: I know you’re busy, but don’t forget to eat—bread is the staff of life.
先來看一個源自《聖經》的諺語:Bread is the staff of life.(麵包是生命的拐杖。)想像一下用法國麵包當做拐杖走路的樣子,大概就能理解這句諺語的意思:麵包是支持生活的必需品,供給我們營養。不過麵包在這裡也是象徵所有食物之意,所以真正的意思是「民以食為天」。如:I know you’re busy, but don’t forget to eat—bread is the staff of life.(我知道你很忙,但別忘了吃飯啊,民以食為天。)
Another proverb with Biblical origins: 2⃣Man does not live by bread alone. Here, bread means “food and shelter.” So the proverb means that beyond their physical needs, people also need mental or spiritual sustenance. Ex: He may be wealthy, but man does not live by bread alone.
另一個諺語也是出自《聖經》:Man does not live by bread alone.(人活著不只是為了溫飽。)bread在這句話中指的是「食物與住所」。因此,這個諺語要人們超越生理需求、滋養心靈。如:He may be wealthy, but man does not live by bread alone.(他或許很富有,但是人活著不是只為了溫飽。)
Since bread is a symbol for sustenance, there are also idioms like 3⃣ “earn one’s daily bread,” which means “make a living.” Ex: The man earns his daily bread as a taxi driver. 4⃣ And “take the bread out of sb.’s mouth” means to deprive them of their means of living. Ex: Lowering wages would be taking the bread out of workers’ mouths.
因為麵包是食物的象徵,所以也有如earn one’s daily bread這樣的片語,指「維持生計」。如:The man earns his daily bread as a taxi driver.(這個男人當計程車司機維持生計。)而take the bread out of sb.’s mouth則是指「搶某人飯碗」,如:Lowering wages would be taking the bread out of workers’ mouths.(減薪對員工而言是剝奪了他們的飯碗。)
5⃣ And finally there’s “break bread.” Can you guess what it means? It means to have a meal. In the old days, a family would share a loaf of bread at each meal, and everyone would break off pieces to eat. Ex: It’s been a long time since I broke bread with Michael.
最後來看看break bread這個短語。猜猜看,這是什麼意思?答案是「吃飯」。古時候的家庭,每餐都有一條麵包分給全家人,每個人會掰一塊麵包來吃。如:It’s been a long time since I broke bread with Michael.(我已經很久沒跟麥可吃頓飯了。)

💬美國生活用語:Corn玉米🌽
1⃣corn-fed
2⃣ pee/piss in sb.’s cornflakes
3⃣ corny
4⃣ cornball
--
Corn is a grain with a special place in the hearts of Americans. First introduced to early settlers by the Indians, it has since become a staple of the American diet, used to make everything from popcorn and muffins to corn chips and corn syrup. Naturally, corn has become part of our language as well.
玉米在美國人心中是種特別的榖物。一開始是由印地安人介紹給最早的一批移民者,自此之後成為美國的重要主食之一,玉米可以用來作成各式各樣的食物,從爆米花、瑪芬、玉米片到玉米糖漿皆可見。理所當然地,玉米也成為英語語言的一部分。
Driving though the Midwest, you’ll pass by endless fields of corn, which is eaten by animals and people alike. The adjective1⃣ “corn-fed” is used to describe animals fed or fattened with corn, i.e. “corn-fed hogs.” What about people? If you call someone corn-fed, it means they look plump, well-fed and robust. Ex: Several corn-fed Midwesterners tried out for the football team. When describing people and places, corn-fed can also mean unsophisticated and provincial. Ex: Karen grew up in a small, corn-fed Kansas town.
只要開車經過美國中西部,你一定會路過一望無際的玉米田,這是種植給動物與人類吃的。形容詞corn-fed就是用來形容以玉米餵食或增肥的動物,如corn-fed hogs(玉米豬)。那人呢?如果你說某人是corn-fed,其實是說這人看起來豐潤、吃得很好、容光煥發,如:Several corn-fed Midwesterners tried out for the football team.(好幾位厚實健壯的中西部人前來參加美式足球隊選拔。)corn-fed如果用來敘述人或地方,也可以指「未經世事、天真的」以及「守舊狹隘的」,如:Karen grew up in a small, corn-fed Kansas town.(凱倫在堪薩斯州的一個守舊的小村落長大。)
Cornflakes are a popular American breakfast, and if someone peed in them, you’d be pretty mad, right? 2⃣That’s exactly what “pee/piss in sb.’s cornflakes means. Ex: Gee, I wonder who peed in the manager’s cornflakes today.
玉米片是非常受歡迎的美國式早餐,如果有人在上面撒尿,你一定會抓狂吧!這就是pee/piss in sb.’s cornflakes的意思。如:Gee, I wonder who peed in the manager’s cornflakes today.(老天,不知道今天是誰惹毛了經理。)
Since corn is such a simple and common type of food, can you guess what the 3⃣ adjective “corny” means? If a joke, story or song is corny, it’s silly, trite or overly sentimental. Ex: Dad always tells such corny jokes. 4⃣ The adjective “cornball” has the same meaning. Ex: Martin has such a cornball sense of humor. And it can also be a noun. Ex: Martin is such a cornball.
既然玉米是如此簡單又常見的食物,你可以猜猜看 corny 是什麼意思呢?如果有個笑話或故事是 corny 的,就是在說它們是「愚蠢、老套且濫情的」,如:Dad always tells such corny jokes.(老爸老是喜歡講這種老掉牙的笑話。)cornball 當形容詞也有一樣的意思,如:Martin has such a cornball sense of humor.(馬丁的幽默感實在有夠老掉牙。)也可以直接當名詞使用,如:Martin is such a cornball.(馬丁真是個愛講冷笑話的人。)
