📰 Why self-promotion doesn't have to be taboo?
🀄 為什麼自我推銷不必忌諱?
Many of us instinctively hate the idea of blowing our own trumpets. Yet it's important to understand how best to highlight our skills – especially now.
📌 第一段說明,我們許多人instinctively(本能地)討厭blowing our trumpets (自我吹捧)。然而,在這時代,要了解如何顯示我們的才能是很重要的。
The mere idea of self-promotion makes many people wince. Trumpet-blowing is something a lot of us aren’t good at and that’s no surprise, given we’re taught as children that ‘boasting’ isn’t an attractive quality. “We get hung up on self-promotion coming across as arrogant,” explains Stefanie Sword-Williams, author of F*ck Being Humble: Why Self Promotion Isn’t a Dirty Word. “But if you’re not an arrogant person, you won’t deliver it in that way.”
📌 本段說明,自我推銷的想法使許多人wince (畏縮)。Trumpet-blowing (自我吹捧) 是我們很多人都不擅長的事,其實不奇怪。因為我們從小就被教導說 boasting (吹牛) 並不是一種吸引人的特質。 《X你的謙虛》作者威廉史瓦特就說:「為什麼 self-promotion (自我推銷) 不是一個不好的詞? 但是,如果您不是一個 arrogant (自大的)人,您不會讓人有那樣的感覺。」
In fact, taking pride in your professional accomplishments should be considered a normal part of life, not a taboo, experts say. Highlighting your skills well can feed into workplace success, and whether you’re changing jobs, want to move up at work or show your boss what you’ve been achieving, being able to self-promote effectively is an advantage.
📌 本段說明,專家表示,實際上,以自己的專業 accomplishments (成就) 為榮,應該被視為生活的正常部分,而不是taboo (禁忌)。出色地展示自己的技能可以促進工作場所的成功,無論您是要換工作,想升職還是向老闆展示您所取得的成就,能夠effectively (有效)自我推銷都是一個優勢。
Right now, the need to ‘self-sell’ has arguably never been greater, as pandemic-hit businesses weigh up what they do – and don’t – need going forward. It’s particularly true for some groups; women, who traditionally struggle to promote themselves, have been particularly affected by the Covid-19 recession, for example. Home workers could also benefit; research shows that they suffer from a lack of face-to-face time with managers, which negatively impacts career progression.
📌 這段說到:目前,可以說“自售” 的需求從未如此強大,因為受到疫情打擊的企業weigh up (權衡)了他們要做的事情和不需要做的事情。對於某些群體來說尤其如此;例如,傳統上為提升自我而 struggle (奮鬥)的女性尤其受到 Covid-19 衰退的影響。家庭工人也可以受益;研究表明,他們缺乏與經理面對面的時間,這會對職業發展產生負面影響。
“If we don’t invest the time in demonstrating our value, we run the risk of not being considered as ‘needed’,” explains Sword-Williams. “The content you put out about yourself is what you will be known for – so it’s essential that you control that narrative.”
📌 Sword-Williams 解釋說:“如果我們不花時間 demonstrate(證明) 自己的價值,那麼我們就有被認為不是'需要'的 risk (風險)。” “發布給自己的內容就是您將廣為人知的內容—因此,控制該 narrative (敘述)至關重要。”
Post-pandemic, how we promote ourselves could help determine whether we thrive in the workplace or linger, overlooked, on the side lines. That means overcoming squeamishness and learning how to explain our skillset properly. Fortunately, it’s something we can all master.
📌 疫情發生之後,我們如何推銷自己可以幫助確定我們在工作場所 thrive (茁壯成長),或是在職場上 linger (徘徊)被忽視。這意味著要克服 squeamishness (神經質),學習如何正確地解釋我們的技能。幸運的是,這是我們所有人都能掌握的東西。
In its simplest form, self-promotion is the act of drawing attention to your work and achievements. Whether it’s a post shared on your LinkedIn, an email check-in with your boss or a conversation with an important contact, self-promotion shines a spotlight on your successes with a view to developing a personal brand, furthering a career or asserting yourself in your field. It’s a skill that’s as important for someone trying to get on the employment ladder as it is for a CEO.
📌 在最簡單的形式中,自我推銷是一種引起對您的工作和成就的關注的行為。無論是在LinkedIn上分享貼文,與老闆的電子郵件,還是與重要聯繫人對話,自我推銷都將 spotlight (聚焦) 於您的成功,以發展個人品牌,促進事業或在自己領域建立聲譽。對於想get on the employment (升職)的人來說,這項技能與對於首席執行官的一樣重要。

【Past Events of the Future】
"Feather-light press of the shutter, an extraordinary instant before my eyes is captured with a snap of my fingers. Within that one-thousandth of a second, Earth leaves behind the image it packed to go as it spins along its axis; or perhaps it was a temperate, memorable moment of the present being condensed into a singular frame. Yet, myths surrounding that “present” seem to be our most deeply-rooted misunderstanding of photography.
My fondest works of photography often tell of the rectangular world perceived by the camera’s viewfinder of some ongoing moment on this planet, usually just after or prior to the shutter button’s release. Discovered by the determined photographer’s razor-sharp eyes are the ripples in the wake of story fragments, or details to be yearned after in the future.
There is no present tense in the world of photography—its grammar underscores that moment when the past and the future collide, that wonderful process of blurring the divide between reason and emotion with time.
There exists no other language in this world in which concatenation of past and present tense is permitted, and yet a photograph tells its tale with such nonchalance. On wafer-thin photo paper, a fortuitous event of both the past and the future is deftly pieced together—like the preparation of paints on an artist’s palette or that of a mother’s delicate touch when braiding her daughter’s hair. With such devotion, affection, and selflessness, a photograph can ceremoniously record the fingerprints of time, hazy like moonlight, events of the future already satisfied…
It is my belief that no photo is able to elaborate on a story about the “now”, much like city maps that indicate neither the entrance nor the exit for curious eyes somehow."

【關於未來的往事】
輕觸快門,彈指間截取眼前某個獨一無二的瞬間,那千分之一秒地球自轉時忘記打包帶走的畫面,或凝結當下某個帶有溫度並值得紀念的瞬間 - 關於那個 ”當下” 的迷思,似乎是我們對攝影最根深蒂固的誤解。
那些自己熱衷的攝影作品,通常講述的是快門釋放後或之前,地表上某個角落,透過相機觀景窗所見的那個長方形世界,執著的攝影者眼尖地發現了某段故事曾留下的波紋與未來將被懷念的細節。
攝影世界裡沒有現在式,攝影語法強調過去與未來相遇的剎那,理性與感性的分野頓時間被模糊了的奇妙過程。
世上也沒有任何一種語言其文法允許過去式與未來式併置。但一幅攝影作品卻可以如此瀟灑地說故事,就透過薄薄的一張相紙,輕巧地湊合了過去與未來的一樁喜事,像是畫家作畫時調色盤上顏料的配製,也如同母親溫柔的手指替女兒編辮子;如此隨心所致,深情而且無私,攝影作品行禮如儀捕捉了朦朧如月光般的時間指紋,那些關於未來的往事…
我相信沒有任何照片能夠闡述一個關於 “現在” 的故事,就像坊間的地圖也從來不替讀者標記一座城市出口與入口的位置

Peresno lahek premik zaslonke, neverjeten trenutek pred svojimi očmi ujamem s pritiskom prstov. V tisti tisočinki sekunde Zemlja za sabo pusti že pripravljeno podobo, medtem ko se sama vrti okoli svoje osi; ali pa je šlo za blag, nepozaben trenutek sedanjosti, zgoščen v eno samo podobo. Pa vendar se zdi, da je naše nerazumevanje fotografije najbolj globoko utemljeno v mitih, ki obkrožajo to »sedanjost«.
Moja najljubša fotografska dela velikokrat pripovedujejo o pravokotnem svetu, kot ga prikazuje objektiv fotoaparata, o nekem trenutku v teku, ki se ponavadi zgodi tik pred ali po pritisku sprožilca. Odločne in ostre oči fotografa razkrivajo posledice fragmentov zgodbe, ali detajle, k katerim lahko stremimo v prihodnosti.
V svetu fotografije ne poznamo sedanjika – njegova slovnica poudarja tisti trenutek, ko se preteklost in prihodnost križata, tisti čudoviti proces brisanja meja med razumom in čustvi skozi čas.
Na svetu ni drugega jezika, v katerem bi bila dovoljena združitev preteklika in prihodnjika, pa vendar fotografija svojo zgodbo govori s takšno brezbrižnostjo. Naključni dogodek preteklosti in prihodnosti je na skoraj prosojnem fotografskem papirju spretno sestavljen – kakor priprava barv, ki jih umetnik nameša na paleto ali materin nežni dotik, ko hčeri spleta lase. S takšno predanostjo, ljubeznijo in nesebičnostjo fotografija beleži že udejanjene dogodke prihodnosti, odtise časa, meglene kakor mesečina...
Osebno verjamem, da nobena fotografija ne more razložiti »trenutnega«, podobno kot zemljevidi mest, na katerih še tako radovende oči ne najdejo označenega ne vhoda ne izhoda."
