☆ネイティブの生の会話からリアルな英語を学ぶ☆
=================================
1) All-time(史上最高の)
=================================
all-timeは「史上最高の」や「今までで一番の」を意味し、「今まで一番好きな〜」はall-time favorite ____と表現します。「今までで一番好きなアニメ」はall-time favorite anime、「今までで一番好きな映画」はall-time favorite movieと言います。
<例文>
What is your all-time favorite movie?
(今までで一番好きな映画は何ですか?)
It’s hard to pick my all-time favorite song. But if I had to pick one, it would be a song from the 90s.
(今までで一番好きな歌を選ぶのは難しいな。でも、一つだけ選ぶとしたら、90年代の曲だな。)
She set an all-time record at the Olympics this year.
(彼女は今年のオリンピックで歴代最高記録を更新しました。)
=================================
2) Old-school(昔ながらの〜)
=================================
old schoolは昔ながらのファッションや音楽、または古風な考え方や手段などを表す口語的なフレーズです。old fashionedと意味は似ていますが、old schoolは昔ながらの価値観が保たれていて魅力的であるといった具合に、状況によってはポジティブな意味合いも含まれます。例えば、昔ながらの懐かしの音楽をold school jamsと言います。
<例文>
Is this “First Love” by Utada Hikaru? What an old-school jam. I love this song.
(この曲って宇多田ヒカルの「First Love」?すごく懐かしい。この曲大好きなんだ。)
I’m old-school. I prefer a paperback rather than an e-book.
(私は古いタイプの人間で、電子書籍よりも紙の本が好きです。)
Is that a Sony Walkman? That is old-school!
(それってもしかしてソニーウォークマン?古いね!)
=================================
3) Not only(〜だけでなく)
=================================
not onlyは「〜だけでなく」を意味し、日常会話では一般的にnot only A, but also Bの形式で使われます。例えば、「彼は英語だけでなく、中国語も喋れます」は「Not only can he speak English, but also Chinese.」という具合に表現します。ちなみに、not onlyの位置を変えて「He can not only speak English but also Chinese.」と表現することもできます。
<例文>
Not only is it great quality, but it’s also cheap.
(品質が良いだけでなく、価格も安いです。)
She’s not only beautiful, but also intelligent.
(彼女は美しいだけでなく、知的でもあります。)
Not only is it a waste of money, but it’s also a waste of time.
(お金だけではなく時間の無駄でもあります。)
=================================
4) Have a finger on the pulse of(〜の実情を正確に把握している)
=================================
直訳で「脈に指を置いている」となるこの表現は、ある状況を正確に把握していることを表す表現です。今のトレンドや動向に詳しかったり、会社の内情をしっかり把握しているような状況で使われます。haveの代わりにkeepが使われることもあります。また、この表現では必ず単数形のa fingerになるので覚えておきましょう。
<例文>
She has her finger on the pulse of the IT industry.
(彼女はIT業界の動向を正確に把握しています。)
I try to keep my finger on the pulse of the stock market.
(私は株式市場の動向を正確に把握するように努めています。)
I don’t have my finger on the pulse of this situation.
(私はこの状況においては現状を正確に把握していません。)
=================================
5) In any way shape or form(どんな形でも)
=================================
直訳で「どんな形でも」となるこの表現は、一般的にnot in any way shape or formのように否定形で使われ、「決して〜でない」や「いかなる形でも〜ない」といった意味になります。何かを否定することを強調するときに使われる表現で、wayを省いてin any shape or formと表現することもあります。
<例文>
We do not tolerate racism in any way shape or form
(いかなる形であれ、私たちは人種差別を許しません。)
I don’t condone domestic violence in any shape or form.
(私はどんな形であれ、DVを見逃すわけにはいきません。)

吉生 Q&A 來了 !
Q1 . 吉生的早餐要吃什麼?
明天早上我會吃水果、麥片、麵包、墨西哥豆跟玉米餅!
Tomorrow I will have fruit, granola, bread, Mexican beans and tortilla!
Q2. After losing a tough match, how long does it take for u to get over it ? And how do u motivate yourself again ?
Some losses have taken me weeks to get over and some just one day. I don’t always get it right, but I remind myself of my goals and where I want to get to. That usually motivates me again. I’ve had a good support team as well, my coach, friends and family have gotten me through some tough moments.
Q3. 請問外地比賽的飲食是需要自己準備還是有專業團隊準備呢?
每個選手的習慣不同。不過為了盡量保持一樣的飲食以避免過敏等其他食物反應,大部分的選手主要吃的食物有米飯、義大利麵跟一些水煮青菜及蛋白質。比賽大會也都會準備以上幾種食物。
I think depends on the player. But it’s also difficult to eat the same foods when you travel to a different city every week. You need to adapt to the foods of that country. Most of the tennis players will eat rice, pasta, some vegetables, and a protein. And the tournaments usually provides those meals.
Q4. Who teach you Taiwanese in the US?
從小在家裡我就是跟父母說台語,出外才使用英語。
My parents taught me how to speak Taiwanese!
Q5. When you were a middle/high school kids, what was your motivation to keep playing tennis, when you lost a match (this question is for my daughter)? Do you have a favorite song(s) that you listen before your matches?
My motivation to keep playing tennis was that I had fun playing. I grew up playing with many different people and all age groups. It was fun for me to play with different game styles b/c it gave me a chance to problem solve. Losing was always tough, but when I was in middle/high school I didn’t think about losing too much, there was a tournament almost every week so I would just keep going.
I don’t have a favorite song before matches. I like to listen to US hip hop!
Q6. 現役選手,最希望對戰的選手?
如果有機會的話,能夠和費爸在籤表中相遇會是很開心的一件事。
I’d really like to play against Roger Federer. I’ve seen him at tournaments, but would be an honor to play against him.
Q7. 請問吉生是幾歲開始打網球的,要如何鼓勵小朋友喜歡打網球呢?
我從四歲開始打網球,不過一開始只是興趣。
我覺得可以製造不同環境讓孩子打網球,不一定是教練,也可以和父母或是公園的其他孩子們玩網球。
多讓小朋友到現場看比賽也許也能激起小朋友的興趣。
I started playing tennis at four years old. But I wasn’t serious about tennis until eight years old. At a young age I think it’s best to give kids more opportunities to play tennis. It can be with parents, with a tennis coach, or even at the park where there are many other people playing tennis. Also, it’s nice to go watch tennis tournaments.
Q8. 疫情下的訓練出賽甘苦談
過去一年無論訓練還是比賽都不容易。每個國家的防疫程度不同,旅行時需要的簽證及文件也不同,規定時時刻刻在改變,有時候也會因為疲勞而找不到動力。加上沒有比賽讓我們檢驗訓練成果和工作動力,我想所有球員都有感受到困難之處。
但整體而言我相信會越來越好,今年的賽程也有慢慢在回復當中。
It hasn’t been easy training and traveling this past year during COVID 19. Last year when all the tournaments were canceled for 5 months , some days were tough to find the motivation. As tennis players we didn’t have tournaments to measure our training and we didn’t have the competition to push us to be better. I think traveling has been the most difficult. Every country has different protocols and it’s tough to know that some countries may not let you in if you don’t have the correct documents. Some players have gone through that. But even through these tough times, overall as tennis players we have done a good job to come back and continue to compete.
Q9. What do you like to do in your free time?
During a training week or at a tournament we are always physically exerting energy so during my free time I like to just relax and do nothing haha. Watch TV shows and movies on Netflix. Any recommendations for good shows?
Q10. 吉生最難忘的一場比賽是哪一場?
2017 年的世大運冠軍賽是我記憶中最深刻的一場比賽。
在炎熱的氣溫及一週高強度的比賽下我感到非常疲憊,但靠著球迷們的加油及鼓勵,我最終成功拿到金牌!我永遠不會忘記 :)
University games 2017 in Taipei. I have never played in an atmosphere like that before. The energy was really amazing. There were times during the match where i would feel tired but the fans kept me going and pushed me. I will remember that week forever.

my favorite year song 在 達明一派 Tat Ming Pair Facebook 的精選貼文
//Tender in the darkness|Pat To Yan
Published (HKT): 2020.11.22
In the last show of Tat Ming Pair’s concert, Anthony Wong shared a letter from a fan in mainland China. The fan was born in the 2000s. The fan was once misled by the Chinese Government’s propaganda and was puzzled by the images of their beloved Hong Kong in a riot (Anthony has omitted the gender of the fan). Then s/he found that all their favorite bands suddenly disappeared from all music platforms, including Tat Ming, My Little Airport, and C All Stars. Why is it that all of their favorite bands are supporting ‘Hong Kong’s Independence’! Hahaha! (The fan said). Then they searched for more information and found the MV of Tat Ming’s Remembering is guilty. The fan was stunned by the MV and was confronted with the truth finally.
There’s actually a dark side to the Hong Kong resistance movement. On the internet, hate speech toward mainland Chinese was easily found. Some Hong Kongers think they are superior since Hong Kong dares to resist and revolt. I am sure most of them are not frontline fighters. If you have experienced the battles on the streets, you know the protesters are a mix of different kinds of people including new immigrants and mainland Chinese. In the election of the District Council last year, the districts having a high population of new immigrants voted for the candidates of the democratic camp, like Shui Chuen O Estate. Mainland Chinese being cowardly in fighting against the government is just a stereotype. People holding this view fall into the trap of extreme nationalism which I have hated my whole life. On the other hand, they fall into the trap of the Chinese Government. In these ten years, the Government has been hard at work to tear apart mainland Chinese and Hong Kongers. They are afraid of us spreading the seeds of resistance in the mainland. In fact, strategically, we should work closely with Chinese who are willing to resist.
It’s a topic that can’t be discussed thoroughly. Some Hong Kongers would turn a deaf ear when you want to discuss with them. I know Tat Ming shared letters by mainland Chinese fans every night of his show. Anthony just read the letters and did not make any statement. Nevertheless, his sharing was already a combat against the stereotype.
In the show, Tat Ming makes good use of the power of tenderness. Hong Kong is deeply depressed and the show can easily go in the direction of self-indulgence. The mood of suppression was demonstrated in the pauses of the show. People chanted the slogans that were said to be forbidden for five whole minutes. We’re happy to grasp the chance to release and relieve. Tat Ming keeps reminding us to carry on what we’re doing. And most importantly, we should keep our sense of humor. Yes, it’s true. The Totalitarian Government doesn’t like it when people laugh. Taking everything easy and making fun of everything are the strengths of Hong Kong culture. Our right of humor should not be deprived.
I always believe in the power of Art. Not many people can remember the name of the King of the Shakespearean age, but we are still enjoying Shakespearean works. The fan I have mentioned said Tat Ming’s works gave them energy and support, and they said they are ‘the frustrating kid galloping in the light’ (a line of lyric directly translated from a song of Tat Ming). We’re lucky enough to have Tat Ming in the age of darkness.//

my favorite year song 在 Hashimoto Shun Youtube 的最讚貼文
U always look perfect
I translated by myself;)
Twitter: https://twitter.com/Sh__gtm
I found a love for me
Darling just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight
my favorite year song 在 Ray Mak Youtube 的精選貼文
Back in the days, around the time when YouTube was founded, before most of you were born, I used to Vlog a lot. I was a little ahead of my time because video sharing platforms were premature back then. I Vlogged so that I can remember my experiences back then. You'll get to know me better if you actually spend the time to watch this. If you do have the patience.

Part 1 was a simple dinner organized by the Chinese Society of the University to raise funds for the poor. I played a Chinese New Year song. The video was my practice.
Part 2 was me chilling with friends, had a very rare Chinese Dinner at school with Lion Dance!!
Part 3 was a short clip of my good friend Justin Ho playing the piano, my favorite song Strauss Die Fledermaus.

Episode 15 - Happy New Year 2006
I celebrated 2006 in three different locations of two different states. Mostly with my close family friend there.
Part 1 is when I was learning to bake Cheesecake, the American Recipe. Then we went to play bowling after that.
Part 2 was in Flushing, New York. We had our Happy New Year 2006 Countdown there. Manhattan was too crowded.
Part 3 is back in Amherst for Winter Semester. I played my favorite song Bo Go Ship Da. One of the most legendary KPOP song back then.
Year : January 1st 2006
Location : Springfield and Amherst, Massachusetts, Flushing, New York
