If a mediocre (平庸的) person like me could become deputy chief editor (副總編輯) of the South China Morning Post, so can you. All we need is faith (信心) and hard work (勤力鍛鍊自己).

「屈機」的 英文

(current/news) English--潮語「屈機」的 英文翻譯

(1) 

最近有機會與語言文字學泰斗何文匯教授和在大學唸中文的梁家權先生聊天，談到香港年輕一代常用的「潮語」。梁先生覺得編輯一本「潮語書」可能有「市 場」。我馬上搭訕說，我把潮語用英語表達，應該可以增加銷量吧！於是，席上有人問「屈機」英文是甚麼？我說「屈機」可以是動詞，他「屈我機」才贏了比賽 （He wins by adopting unfair practices）或者是（He wins by using loop- holes in the system）。「屈機」也可當形容詞，例如：這個遊戲規則真是「屈機」（I have zilch opportunity in winning the game due to unfair rules）。「屈」這個字源自《孫子兵法》的（謀攻篇）：「不戰而屈人之兵」。現代比較容易明白的漢語是「屈曲機制」去取勝。 (From good English to great) : unfair (不公平）= Not fair , right, or just; inequitable, unequal, unjust,

失眠=insomnia

馮強  不再失眠
美國紐約有兩位治療失眠的專家提議，如果我們失眠又不想吃藥的話，我們可以考慮用「認知治療法」（Cognitive-Behavior Therapy）。他們是Michael Thorpy和Shelby Harris醫生。他們要我們認識甚麼原因影響睡眠和改變自己的行為。例如：甚麼因素會影響我們的睡眠質素呢？我們如何改變影響睡眠的行為呢？例如睡覺前 我們千萬不要看電視，不要喝酒。我們要做一些鬆弛運動（relaxation exercise）和細心想想有甚麼事情會令我們睡不好。例如：我逢星期四早上九時要上課的話，我星期三晚上一定睡不好，因為總是擔心明天在課堂的表現令學生不滿意。醫生要我們訓練自己改變這些想法。例如，我的表現80分便夠了，何必總要強迫自己追求95分呢！

學多一點點(from good English to great): 失眠=insomnia (inability to fall asleep)；insomniac=患失眠的人；失眠主要由depression (抑鬱症)或stress (壓力)導致。Acute insomnia 指失眠少於一個月；失眠一個月以上叫chronic insomnia。失眠可引起double vision(影像重疊或稱複視)等毛病。政客常常說無凌兩可的話(double talk)。受失眠和政府政策影響是雙重打擊(double whammy)。 三重打擊是triple whammy。
