闖入西洋樂壇金榜·鍾潔希擊敗席琳奪亞軍
Jessie Chung Rises to International Charts Beats Celine and Takes Second Place
星洲日报·娱乐·报道：黄宝君·2016.11.13
（莎亞南13日訊）鍾潔希早前剛推出的新英語專輯《There You Are》獲得不錯迴響，成功登上華人音樂市場最具權威影響力的5大金榜，發售首周便勇奪亞軍寶座，成功擊敗天后席琳狄翁（Celine Dion），成績僅次予女神卡卡（Lady Gaga），獲唱片公司頒發“音樂傑出表現獎”，讓她感到不可思議直呼：“我竟然打敗席琳，你們能相信嗎？”
鍾潔希以金發洋妞造型推出首張英語專輯，在台灣5大金榜西洋樂壇金榜亞軍位置，僅次於女神卡卡的新專輯，同時也是有史以來唯一能夠闖入西洋樂壇金榜的大馬歌手。鍾潔希笑言，當被告知喜訊之時，她一度不敢相信，直至自己親自上網查詢，讓她興奮如同獲得奧斯卡獎項般驚喜不已，笑稱：“我竟然打敗席琳，你們能相信嗎？”
12日下午，她在大馬開心舉辦慶功宴，並且在大馬和新加坡華納音樂董事經理蔡經明以及澳洲未來娛樂暨音樂集團代表的見證下，獲頒“音樂傑出表現獎”。她感慨表示，演藝圈這條路不容易走，無論自己多努力，背後總是會有負面的聲音出現，但她選擇寬恕與遺忘。
首張英語專輯獲得如此好成績，鍾潔希決定趁勢追擊，預計明年初再推出第2張英語專輯，慶功宴上也率先曝光新歌《Forever Young》MV，讓在場觀眾一睹為快。鍾潔希表示每次發片，都口頭承諾這是最後一次發片，但她坦言，內心還是放不下演藝事業，並透露目前已經錄製了3首歌，之後還要飛往澳洲籌備其餘6首歌的錄音及MV拍攝。
另外，她也透露明年2月將赴南非宣傳新專輯行程，計劃到歐洲、非洲、紐約等地展開巡演。雖然能夠進軍美國讓她十分開心與期待，不過，她卻表示自己其實非常擔心到非洲，“聽說當地很危險，但老闆在台灣舉辦專輯發布會時宣布這個消息，先下手為強，讓我沒辦法拒絕。”
Jessie Chung Rises to International Charts Beats Celine and Takes Second Place
Sin Chew Daily Entertainment 2016.11.13
Jessie Chung’s brand new album There You Are has received great reception and has successfully entered into the most influential and authoritative chart in the Taiwanese music industry, Five Music, debuting at number two on the Top 5 Chart for international albums, overtaking Celine Dion and placing right next to Lady Gaga. For her triumphs, Jessie’s record label presented her with the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Music Industry; Jessie herself was rendered speechless by the astonishing fact and said, “I beat Celine, can you believe it?”
Rocking her new blonde hairstyle, Jessie Chung released her debut album, debuting at number two on the Top 5 Chart for international albums, overtaking Celine Dion and placing right next to Lady Gaga. At the same time, she is the first and so far only Malaysian singer who has ventured into the top end of the prestigious international chart. Jessie Chung said that when she received the news, she was shocked and filled with disbelief. Only until she had checked online herself did she believe that her album actually placed in the chart, immediately she was filled with elation and felt as if she had just won an Oscar. Overjoyed, she said, “I beat Celine, can you believe it?”
At noon, she cheerfully attended the achievement celebration organized by her record label. Mr. Darren Choy, Managing Director of Warner Music Group Malaysia & Singapore and Chairman of the Recording Industry Association of Malaysia and Mr. Sein Way Tan, Future Entertainment & Music Group Australia representative, presented Jessie with the Outstanding Achievement Award in the Music Industry. Welling up with emotions, she stated that the entertainment industry isn’t a walk in the park. No matter how hard one strives, negative voices will always appear out of nowhere. Despite the harsh criticism, Jessie chooses to forgive and forget.
Jessie’s debut English album received so much success that she had decided to follow up with a sophomore album, set to be released early next year. Her “Forever Young” music video was also premiered during the achievement celebration, which charged the attendees with excitement and anticipation. Jessie Chung stated that every time she released an album, she promised herself that it would be her last album. However she disclosed that deep down she is still unprepared to leave the music industry, and she has already recorded three songs; she will be flying to Australia to finish the remaining six songs and film the rest of her music videos.
In addition, she also divulged that she would be flying to South Africa next year in February to promote her new album, with further plans to enter Europe, Africa, New York and other places to open concerts. Although the thought at entering into the U.S. music scene makes her jump with joy and anticipation, she revealed that she is actually quite afraid of going to Africa. “I’ve heard rumors that it’s dangerous over there, but my boss took the initiative and discussed about it at the press conference in Taiwan, and now I’m forced to comply.”
record發音 在 Re: [請益] 為什麼工程師講英文都亂發音?? - 精華區Tech_Job 的八卦
基本上台灣科技業工程師的發音普遍不標準，但也沒到讓人聽不懂的程度
若您需要詢問對方如何拼音，代表您離native speaker還差很遠
就像老外對您說中文，雖然不標準，但您無論如何都可以猜到他要幹嘛
因為中文對您來說是母語，您根據上下文以及詞彙的聯想，腦袋一下子能反應過來
很多亞洲人（新加坡香港印度）發音都不標準，但老外卻聽得懂，就是這個道理
我從小喜歡英文，也很注重英文發音以及對話(IELTS speaking 8.5)
之前在台灣也很懊惱大家怎麼都對於英文發音很隨便
但真的有差嗎？我發現很多同事的專業技能非常強
大家溝通沒問題，和老外溝通也沒問題，請問還有什麼問題？
是的，您可以在開會時聽到破英文就一直偷笑，忽略了開會的實際內容
這樣是不是有點本末倒置？
但當然我還是希望國人多查證正確資料，糾正發音，不要人云亦云
事情，還是做對的好，對吧？
（我在國外也一直很思索老外會不會覺得很困擾，自己的母語被新移民新移工侵門踏戶
後來想想這也是語言蛻變的過程，反正英語已經幾百種口音了，不差多一個台式英語吧)
對了，您提到KK音標，基本上那是美式發音，也是在台灣從小學的，只是英文的一種
youtube上面很多AmE以及BrE的發音比較，你看一下可能可以解決許多困惑

您怎麼唸這些字？
garage
address
adult
route
vase
我要特別提一下threshold，很多人會念threshold-hold，很明顯多此一舉
不知道這陋習哪裡來的，我出國前也很堅持只唸第一個音節
後來發現隔壁以及對面的老外都念 thresh-hold ，可能台灣有人畫蛇添足最後變成那樣
這也有老外有疑問

why-is-threshold-pronounced-thresh-hold
還有一個字 value ，找一下網路影片聽聽看差異
※ 引述《Aurelio (奧雷里奧)》之銘言：
: 待過幾間公司
: 發現說 同事講很多英文名詞
: 都不肯照KK音標的念法來發音
: 都統一用一種很奇怪的念法
: 而且都是初階英文字典就有的單字
: 害我每次都要問怎麼拼音 囧
: 是科技業都會這樣嗎？
: 覺得很神奇...
