"The fundamental question is, are we going to follow the law?"
「拗咩吖,大家仲信唔信法律制度先?」
繼上次問到Twitter老細口啞之後,美國參議員Ted Cruz接受《Fox News》Sean Hannity訪問,評論大選兩邊嘅爭拗同輿論偏頗嘅情況,再提出一個跨黨派政見立場,值得所有人反思嘅問題,到底大家仲信唔信法律制度先?還是靠响social media打嘴炮或者記者講就得㗎?
"The fundamental question is, are we going to follow the law?"
"The way the system works is, you follow the law...You know, one of the frustrating things as a citizen, you see all these tweets going back and forth, you see allegations of this happened, that happened. It's hard to know, it's hard for anyone to know, all right, is this true, what's true?"
(行之有效嘅制度就係法律制度,作為一個國民,最失望就係睇見啲Tweets你來我往,呢個話見到乜乜,嗰個就講物物,根本無人知,亦唔會知真定假,點知咩真相呀?)
"The only way to know is, we have a legal process -- we have state courts, we have federal courts that can hear legal claims."
(要知道真相嘅唯一方法,就係經過法律程序,我地有各級法院去審理呢啲法律上嘅指控。)
"And right now, it is incumbent on the Trump Campaign's lawyers to go in and prove their case in court -- to lay out evidence -- to lay out evidence of illegally cast votes, lay out evidence of what was done right and what was done wrong. And when the process is over, we're going to know the result..."
(去到呢一步,在任總統嘅律師團咪要去法庭去闡述自己嘅理據囉,用證據解釋咩做啱或者乜嘢做錯。當個法律程序完成,大家咪知道結果囉,拗咩呢?)
"Now, the fact that you or I might say that or someone might tweet that -- that's not conclusive evidence. That needs to be determined in a court of law."
(依家我可以响Twitter講呢樣,佢又講另一樣,呢啲唔係可信嘅證據黎㗎,可信與否係要靠法庭決定嘅。)
"It's amazing that reporters are running around screaming, no, no, no, we can't resolve any of these legal matters."
(最「奇妙」就係啲記者四周圍同人講「No, no, no,呢啲問題係唔可以用法律解決㗎」)
其實Ted Cruz提出呢個概念,去到呢刻到底仲有幾多人明白呢?還是為咗個人政見、立場或者喜惡,而忘記咗?
美國國內係咁,國外就更加...

【當年為了寫贏美國人,我花了上百個小時在哥大圖書館做這件事】
每當學生問起我是怎樣在托福、雅思寫作都能穩穩考滿分時,我都會跟他們講這個故事。
2011 年,從賓大到哥大時,我幻想著休閒時間,就要到 SOHO 的咖啡廳看看書,感受被小說家跟 #紐約時報 的 editors 們包圍著工作的氣氛。放假時,要到中央公園吃著在 Plaza Hotel 地下街買的龍蝦堡享受一下午的悠閒。
沒想到一開學,我的生活變瞬間變成了:「不是在圖書館,就是往圖書館的路上。」過程當中,好強的我,為了「英文寫作要比哥大的美國學生更好」這個目標,我開始整理了「 #英文寫作資料庫」。
在閱讀了幾百、甚至幾千篇頂尖期刊後,我發現了不分領域、很多的「共通性」。有很多的高頻用法,都是可以被整理、分類的。
例如:
✔︎ 在指出 research gap 時,學者們不約而同地使用 “Relatively little is known about sth…”
✔︎ 在指出證據越來越多時,他們不約而同地使用 “Evidence is growing that…”(絕對不是 There're more and more evidences 喔)
如果我們可以掌握這些高頻、模組化的寫作特性,其實很多時候不需要拼命地用中文組裝,最後反而製造出了多 #奇形怪狀的中式英文 寫法。
✔︎ 這套我一直以來 #整理英文寫作語料 的方式(我叫它 #3D英文筆記術 ),我會在這次與 #Hahow 合作的線上課程當中與你們分享。
► 表達目的時,我們需要注意「#文法搭配」,才能用的出來
X is intended to… / X is aimed at… / X is consistent with Y
► 有了 #詞義搭配 (lexical collocation) 這個模組,我們才能很自然地使用 a handful of studies / a wealth of research / a suite of questions 這樣的用法。
► 對 #慣用句頭、#慣用句中 的熟悉、整理,寫作時才能夠輕鬆用出:
・The past decade has witnessed XXX
・There has been much controversy surrounding…
・X stand in stark contrast to Y
・X is subject to Y
・X has grown in importance / popularity
如果你也想增進你的英文寫作能力(不管是要考檢定考、還是商用寫作),在 3D 英文筆記術課程中你會學到「如何在閱讀時,抄出對寫作有益的筆記」,我也教會你一套可以受用一輩子的筆記方法。歡迎加入我們:)

[時事英文] 美國總統大選陷入膠著
It ain’t over till every vote is counted.
大家應該都睡不著吧...

President Donald Trump claimed victory over Democratic rival Joe Biden on Wednesday with millions of votes still uncounted in a White House race that will not be decided until tallying is completed over the coming hours or days.

2. rival 競爭者;對手;敵手
3. uncounted (adj.) 未計算過的
4. tally (v.) 計算;清點
週三,川普總統聲稱擊敗民主黨對手拜登,但這場白宮爭奪戰仍有數百萬張選票尚未計算,在計票結束前,於接下來的數個小時乃至數日,一切尚在未定之天。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
By early Wednesday, the race was down to a handful of states, and both Trump, 74 and Biden, 77, had possible paths to reach the needed 270 Electoral College votes to win the White House.
5. be down to 由⋯⋯決定
6. Electoral College votes 選舉人團票
週三稍早,競選已由少數幾個州來決定,而74歲的川普以及77歲的拜登都有可能取得270張選舉人團票來贏得白宮。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Shortly after Biden said he was confident of winning the contest once the votes are counted, Trump appeared at the White House to declare victory and said his lawyers would be taking his case to the U.S. Supreme Court, without specifying what they would claim.
7. be confident of… 對⋯⋯有信心

★★★★★★★★★★★★
“We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did win this election,” Trump said. “This is a major fraud on our nation. We want the law to be used in a proper manner. So we’ll be going to the U.S. Supreme Court. We want all voting to stop.” He provided no evidence to back up his claim of fraud.
12. frankly 直率地;坦白地
13. a major fraud 重大的詐欺
14. in a proper manner 以適當的方式
15. back up 支持
「我們正準備迎接此次大選的勝利。坦白說,我們確實贏得了這場選舉。」川普道。「這是對我們國家的重大詐欺。我們希望以適當的方式使用法律。因此,我們將前往美國最高法院。我們希望所有的投票都能停止。」他並未提供任何證據,來支持他對詐欺的指控。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Polls have closed and voting has stopped across the country, but election laws in U.S. states require all votes to be counted, and many states routinely take days to finish counting ballots. More votes stood to be counted this year than in the past as people voted early by mail and in person because of the coronavirus pandemic.
16. the polls 投票處
17. count ballots 統計選票
18. in person 親自
19. the coronavirus pandemic 新冠病毒大流行疫情
投票處已關閉,全國各地的投票也已停止,但全美各州的選舉法要求,所有選票皆需進行統計,有許多州通常需要數日才能完成選票的計算。由於疫情的關係,今年有更多的選票需要統計,因選民比以往還早郵寄選票,並親自投票。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Global stocks gyrated in early trade as results streamed in, with a final call now seen unlikely for days and the outcome raising the potential for gridlock that complicates the chance of a quick U.S. government spending boost to counter the effects of the pandemic.

26. counter the effects of 抵消⋯⋯
隨著選舉結果的湧入,全球股市在早盤交易中迴旋,目前看來最終結果似乎不太可能於接下來的幾天內出爐,惟恐陷入僵局,這將使美國政府迅速增加支出以應對疫情的機率複雜化。
