【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

evidence用法 在 Goodbye HK, Hello UK Facebook 的最佳解答
"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...

眾籌支付誹謗案相關費用
還原721襲擊真相
Crowdfunding Campaign for paying fees in the defamation case
Restore the truth of 721 Yuen Long Attack
2019年7月21日,相信不少人對當晚元朗所發生的事仍舊歷歷在目,亦改變了不少人的一生。我在當晚於手機、電視目擊住於元朗發生的一切,因而決定挺身而出,再次躺進這趟政治渾水,參與區議會選舉,為掃除建制惡勢力出一分力。然而,即使當上區議員,政治打壓令我們工作舉步為艱,我亦在近日收到昔日選舉對手的誹謗案入稟狀。
在此艱困的狀態下,我沒有退讓的空間,只能選擇迎難而上,將事實在法庭當中陳述。我會善用法庭審訊的機會,將有關721事件的真相在法庭審訊羅列出來,將其作為事實核證的一大平台。我亦會把握機會在傳召證人和盤問過程,將721事件的種種疑團,包括事前流傳的信息真確性、白衣暴徒的關係網、政商關係網絡於審訊中一一揭露,真相愈辯愈明。
作為獨立民主派,我並無任何組織支持,亦沒有昔日選舉對手的龐大財政資源。由於法律援助並不涵蓋誹謗案件,我需要一力承擔有關法律經費(包括聘請律師與大律師的費用、法庭相關費用等)。在面對沉重的財政壓力下,我需要向大家籌募訴訟的經費,以應付相關的開支,懇請大家能夠鼎力支持。我將會利用籌募到的款項,用作法律費用和眾籌平台開支之外,同時亦會聘請一名員工專責搜集721證據及重溫不同媒體片段,以助法庭審訊和其他721事件民間調查工作。
假如我最後獲賠訟費或有盈餘,我會將有關餘額和盈餘撥捐予抗爭者支援組織。
A lot of us still relive what happened in Yuen Long on July 21, 2019, as it changed the lives of countless. After witnessing what happened there that evening via live streams on my phone and television, I chose to step forward and, again, devote myself to the political orbit. I thus participated in the district council election and committed to the eradication of the pro-establishment evil forces in the legislature. However, political repression still exists in the district council and hurdles our work - I just received the summons of the defamation suit filed by my former opponent in the election.
My only way out in this time of adversity is to present the facts in court, where I can make use of the court trial as a fact verification platform to state the truth of July 21. I will also seize the opportunity in the process of subpoena and testimony to expose the qualms of July 21, including the authenticity of the information circulated beforehand, the network of the white-shirted thugs, and the complex business-government relationships.
As an independent democrat, I do not have any organizational support, nor do I have vast financial resources as my late opponent does. Besides, since the legal aid scheme does not cover defamation cases, I must pay the legal expenses, including the cost of hiring lawyers and barristers and court fees, on my own. In the face of tremendous financial pressure, I must plead for help by raising funds for litigation from you to meet the legal expenses. I will use the funds for the legal services required and hiring an agent to collect evidence and review media clips of July 21 to help court trials and other private investigations concerning the incident.
If there is a surplus in the final reimbursement of litigation costs, I will donate the remaining balance to the organisation or fund supporting activists.
