身份之謎


先行謝過抬舉,實在好玩得很。今回,為表尊重,破例一回。下不為例。

貴兄寫道:
 
(引文)
 
"博主野田:

謝。明白了,你用了英文版的個人資料夾,名先姓後,所以變成雅畢。

其實日劇的野田妹,不時蓬頭垢面、和衣而睡、視常規如糞土,又不顧處境,眾目睽睽,也硬要強親男主角,又幻想跟他同床共枕,我笑到碌地。
法官大人,你話野田妹係咪名副其實的不雅?
野田 = 不雅
證據就係套日劇,確鑿。

我睇你點打得甩「不雅」「雅?不!」「雅者完畢」,又,不雅正是野田妹風格,哇哈哈哈……

P.S.
若問「雅不?」答曰「不!」咁你點兜?哈哈哈……

(引文畢)
  
覆:

極具挑戰的留言,好玩!

先行界定身份。既然吾是「爭議中的稱號」(以下稱稱號”) ,雖不涉及「公眾利益」,況且,吾確信,只有貴兄才有如此雅興,爭辯「不,雅」或是「雅?不!」的終論,是故,此爭辯是無官坐席,或各方皆官,隨行定奪。

吾無任歡迎。

身份確立,回辯了。

貴兄確實對世事好奇,涉獵甚深,吾自愧。何以論證?貴兄關心吾稱號,英文版面也照顧不宣,實屬有心;再者,貴兄對日劇亦有一番情意結。既英且日,拜服!

唯,貴兄已確實了解透徹了嗎?或是概偏而論?

貴兄以「看過日劇」為支持論點,下論:「野田妹不時蓬頭垢面、和衣而睡、視常規如糞土,又不顧處境,眾目睽睽,也硬要強親男主角,又幻想跟他同床共枕」。

這是「日劇野田妹」給貴兄留下的印象。

吾以「中文」為回辯。

先自行查閱「日劇」的野田風格,暫論:「野田是個毫無機心,但是天真到超現實的女孩;有超人一等的聽力與記憶能力,聽過一次後就可以記起上來。」

這是吾注意到的風格。

再者,既然貴兄開首提及「英文版」版面,在此,吾亦以「英文版」支持,再論:  In love with Chiaki, she follows him around constantly, claiming to be his "wife," and leans on him to help her get through sticky situations. She sometimes compulsively needs to play the piano, neglecting everything in order to do it. As well as that, she seems to enjoy childish manga and movies. She is constantly hungry, and is fed dinners by Chiaki.  Near the end of the series, she performed with Stresemann on stage (he was attempting to pull her out of an emotional slump), and was an instant world-wide hit. (中譯: 野田深愛千秋,常伴在側。自稱千秋太太, 依賴他渡過難關。偶爾忘我,強行彈琴,還愛好孩童漫畫與電影。老喊餓,要求千秋餵食。劇末,與Stresemann先生同台演出 (Stresemann先生試圖從情緒低谷把她拉出來),立即成為全球大熱之作。)”

如果,直率真性情、對所愛毫不掩飾、具藝術氣息的人,屬於「不雅」的話,那麼,追隨「啞」的「雅」好了。

另,絕對同意貴兄觀點: 「視常規如糞土」。

不喜爭辯。本打算對意見留白不述,卻反思若為此騰空, 才屬「不()雅」。是故,亦表示尊重,吾只好另闢新頁,格外筆舒,闡釋明白。

唯, 再來者概不覆辯

強調一點,若是「日劇」野田=不雅,那麼,電視尺度應該值得嚴肅審視。貴兄仍能如此津津有味、自如無礙收看,非常難得!

若然堅稱「不雅」才是對的,悉便,哈哈。

開學日

首天開課,拙人也來胡鬧,順手拈來一則原文,湊興玩玩中譯。

先公開原文,家課隨後補上,哈哈!

Quote from lifehack

When was the last time you read a book, or a substantial magazine article?  Do your daily reading habits center around tweets, Facebook, updates, or the directions on your instant oatmeal packet?

If you're one of countless people who don't make a habit of reading regularly, you might be missing out: reading has a significant number of benefits, and just a few benefits of reading are listed below.

1.  Mental Stimulation

Studies have shown that staying mentally stimulated can slow the progress of (or possibly even prevent) Alzheimer's and Dementia, since keeping your brain active and engaged prevents it from losing power.  Just like any other muscle in the body, the brain requires exercise to keep it strong and healthy, so the phrase "use it or lost it" is particularly apt when it comes to your mind.  Doing puzzles and playing games such as chess have also been found to be helpful with cognitive stimulation.

2. Stress Reduction

No matter how much stress you have at work, in your personal relationships, or countless other issues faced in daily life, it all just slips away when you lose yourself in a great story.  A well-written novel can transport you to other realms, while an engaging article will distract you and keep you in the present moment, letting tensions drain away and allowing you to relax.

3. Knowledge

Everything you read fills your head with new bits of information, and you never know when it might come in handy.  The more knowledge you have, the better-equipped you are to tackle any challenge you'll ever face.  Additionally, here's a bit of food for thought: should you ever find yourself in dire circumstances, remember that although you might lose everything else - your job, your possessions, your money, even your health - knowledge can never be taken from you.

4.  Vocabulary Expansion

This goes with the above topic: the more you read, the more words you gain exposure to, and they'll inevitably make their way into your everyday vocabulary.  Being articulate and well-spoken is of great help in any profession, and knowing that you can speak to higher-ups with self-confidence can be an enormous boost to your self-esteem.  It could even aid in your career, as those who are well-read, well-spoken, and knowledgeable on a variety of topics tend to get promotions more quickly (and more often) than those with smaller vocabularies and lack of awareness of literature, scientific breakthroughs, and global events.

5.  Memory Improvement

When you read a book, you have to remember an assortment of characters, their backgrounds, ambitions, history, and nuances, as well as the various arcs and sub-plots that weave their way through every story.  That's a fair bit to remember, but brains are marvelous things and can remember these things with relative ease.  Amazingly enough, every new memory you create forges new synapses (brain pathways) and strengthens existing ones, which assists in short-term memory recall as well as stabilizing moods.  How cool is that?

6.  Stronger Analytical Thinking Skills

Have you ever read an amazing mystery novel, and solved the mystery yourself before finishing the book?  If so, you were able to put critical and analytical thinking to work by taking note of all the details provided and sorting them out to determine "whodunnit".

That same ability to analyze details also comes in handy when it comes to critiquing the plot; determining whether it was a well-written piece, if the characters were properly developed, if the storyline ran smoothly, etc.  Should you ever have an opportunity to discuss the book with others, you'll be able to state your opinions clearly, as you've taken the time to really consider all the aspects involved.

7.  Improved Focus and Concentration


In our internet-crazed world, attention is drawn in a million different directions at once as we multi-task through every day.  In a single 5-minute span, the average person will divide their time between working on a task, checking email, chatting with a couple of people (via gchat, skype, etc.), keeping an eye on twitter, monitoring their smartphone, and interacting with co-workers.  This type of ADD-like behaviour causes stress levels to rise, and lowers our productivity.

When you read a book, all of your attention is focused on the story - the rest of the world just falls away, and you can immerse yourself in every fine detail you're absorbing.  Try reading for 15-20 minutes before work (i.e. on your morning commute, if you take public transit), and you'll be surprised at how much more focused you are once you get to the office.

8.  Better Writing Skills

This goes hand-in-hand with the expansion of your vocabulary: exposure to published, well-written work has a noted effect on one's own writing, as observing the cadence, fluidity, and writing styles of other authors will invariably influence your own work.  In the same way that musicians influence one another, and painters use techniques established by previous masters, so do writers learn how to craft prose by reading the works of others.

9.  Tranquility

In addition to the relaxation that accompanies reading a good book, it's possible that the subject you read about can bring about immense inner peace and tranquility.  Reading spiritual texts can lower blood pressure and bring about an immense sense of calm, while reading self-help books has been shown to help people suffering from certain mood disorders and mild mental illnesses.

10.  Free Entertainment

Though many of us like to buy books so we can annotate them and dog-ear pages for future reference, they can be quite pricey.  For low-budget entertainment, you can visit your local library and bask in the glory of the countless tomes available there for free.  Libraries have books on every subject imaginable, and since they rotate their stock and constantly get new books, you'll never run out of reading materials.

If you happen to live in an area that doesn't have a local library, or if you're mobility-impaired and can't get to one easily, most libraries have their books available in PDF or ePub format so you can read them on your e-reader, iPad, or your computer screen.  There are also many sources online where you can download free e-books, so go hunting for something new to read!

There's a reading genre for every literate person on the planet, and whether your tastes lie in classical literature, poetry, fashion magazines, biographies, religious texts, young adult books, self-help guides, street lit, or romance novels, there's something out there to capture your curiosity and imagination.  Step away from your computer for a little while, crack open a book, and replenish your soul for a little while.
