英文 to 字有趨勢義

2009-12-15T18:12:00.001+08:00

二○○九年十二月十四日，新聞報道，台灣台北市房價翻漲，每坪均價自○七年屢升不下。﹙註一﹚The price of a flat rose to a high level. 語譯：價升高點。此句to當趨向解，前面的rose 告訴吾人，這是上升之事。吾不懂炒賣樓房，樓價哪時升哪時跌，吾無從可知。然而，吾懂得消費者物價指數，十一月的蔬果食品價格下跌。﹙註二﹚跌至多少？一○五點一。The Consumer Price Index fell to 105.1. 這時也用to，此to 前有fell，以示跌勢。樓價升，食品價降，隨着經濟復甦，有人預測消費者物價指數也會上揚。凡事已成過去，吾人才敢斷定經濟的起伏，而未知的將來，吾人常用推斷預測等詞述之，英云predict、forecast。只要知道目標水平，就可用to。例如：二○○九年十二月十五日下午一時許台灣加權指數，跌至七千七百九十四點。﹙註三﹚

以橋岸為喻，此to不同彼to──英文功能用字解

2009-12-14T23:16:00.005+08:00

﹙註七﹚二○○九年十二月十四日，新聞報道，女子補身，吃母鴨，險失明。﹙註一﹚中國人吃補品，習俗使然。廣告不斷向人推介健康食品，令人崇尚吃補品，寄望強身健體，補氣補血，民間傳統，有人用藥適宜，有人誤用藥材，份量過多，得看其人之常識，和參考專業中醫師之意欲。英文，to 字常見後帶動詞，People are encouraged to take supplements. 語譯：常勸人吃補藥。to字內容少，功能大。此說其to 沒有告訴吾人甚麼意義，然而，英文結構，不可不知，to 必然寫下來，連接encouraged 和 take兩個字。不可寫作People are encouraged take supplements. 這結構猶如鋼材，令語義牢固。中文也不會常常連用兩個動詞。動詞連用，令語義含混，人不知所云，即不知所謂也。People are encouraged take

誤會臼井儀人的照片

2009-09-22T15:52:00.005+08:00

據報，藝術家黑田征太郎的圖片，誤用為《蠟筆小新》作者漫畫家臼井儀人的照片。﹙註一﹚錯誤有多重說法：一般錯是 a mistake，致命的大錯，是 a fatal mistake 或叫 a fatal error。小錯，叫做 a minor mistake；大錯，稱為 a big mistake。平時作文交功課，串錯字，寫錯別字，都可看作 minor mistakes。只是關鍵字眼，不可寫錯。校長一字，英譯principal ，串字似 principle，兩詞同音，我的中學老師提過兩者不同。principal 乃敬稱，不宜串錯。香港中學有 Principles of Accounts，正是“會計學原理”，如果誤植Principals of Accounts，即成“會計學校長”，差之毫釐，謬以千里。﹙中文誤植一詞有印刷錯字之意，如果用錯圖片，可否說誤植圖片？愚見未有定論，註二﹚如何區分

比喻學英文，無關變有關

2009-09-21T21:11:00.001+08:00

之前談用比喻畫腦圖，在這系列文章，談論學英文的方法，即是談用比喻學英文。88水災後，僱用災區失業者，可獲政府補貼。僱用，英文是 employ。失業，英文是unemployed。失業者，英譯the unemployed。政府，是government。補貼，是subsidy。不想死記硬背，如何發揮創意？無關者拉上關係，有少許相似也拉進來談employ 會 enjoy﹙享受，敬業樂業﹚，都是oy 尾。employ 了，無法play﹙玩樂﹚，就無a：無 a，不成play。employ了，身心有寄託，不會 empty﹙空虛﹚﹐emp 開頭，無t，t for time ﹙時間﹚：employ了，缺乏私人時間，充實充實。反之，就是 unemployed，多加ed，有過去的意思，employ已成過去，又有形容的意思。the unemployed有the，專指無業者。如要談employ的情況，即

Metaphor

2009-09-21T19:25:00.005+08:00

People use the metaphor to help them to understand the world. An example is: "His heart is made of ice." Of course, we understand that the human heart cannot be made of ice. The ice can mean being unfriendly and thus being "cold", that is not welcoming. Mind maps can be drawn by using metaphors. You may draw a piece of ice at the heart of a young man to show his being cruel. In that sense, mind

一般文字和畫腦圖之應用地位

2008-05-06T19:30:00.003+08:00

雖然坊間的書籍已多載有畫腦圖的書籍，似乎，在實務溝通，一般文字仍佔主導地位。以下是嘗試融合文字、畫腦圖的實例。

近義同義詞視覺化

The Visual Thesaurus 是放射形式的近義同義詞表解。近義同義詞，圍繞中心詞，構成詞彙圖 word maps。中心詞周圍都是近義同義詞。可按表中的字，令任何字成為中心詞。沒有其它圖像，只有如八爪魚般的詞彙圖表。嚴格來說，沒有圖像，並非腦圖，只具腦圖的部分特徵：運用中心字，在周圍加入相關的用字。The Visual Thesaurus 的優點：找詞彙勝在夠快，如八爪魚般的詞彙圖表一目了然。http://www.visualthesaurus.comhttp://www.visualthesaurus.com/howitworks/

別讓腦圖唬人

2008-04-26T22:18:00.001+08:00

腦圖這個學習技巧，發展歷史有數十年，用途十分廣泛。從商業機構到教育人員，腦圖已經是很有價值，或者必不可少的一部分。腦圖的感染力，在於它倡導的擴展大腦的潛能。用左右來區分人腦：左腦主司文字；右腦主司圖像。左腦用文字的功能用得多；右腦用圖像的功能用得少。腦圖擴展大腦潛能的說法，非常受歡迎。人腦的生物學，我不在這裡詳談。用常理而論，一大堆一大堆的文字，的確較難消化。畫腦圖則不然。腦圖包含用圖像表達，有利一目了然。除非文字水平高，除非熱愛文字，否則，一大堆的文字很容易變成負擔，而且是挑戰文字理解力的沉重壓力。即使是簡單的符號，加在腦圖上，引發的共鳴，可能佷大。例如：星號，可以表示晚上，又可以表示榮譽。用常理去瞭解腦圖的功能，別讓腦圖唬人。

用腦圖的心態

2008-04-25T16:19:00.000+08:00

腦圖廣受人宣傳，它當然有其用處，但人如果沒有正確的心態，就不能善用腦圖了。正確的心態是指，不要以為腦圖必會有“迎刃而解”的功效。抱著理所當然的心態，多會失望，或者會覺得，腦圖“不外如是”，只是把概念向四方八面擴散。用腦圖用得好，用家的心態很重要，有人用得好，有人用得不好。用得好，腦圖是說明、議論、聯想的驅動力。用得不好，畫腦圖是負擔，讀腦圖讀得吃力。好與不好，原因不少。其一，心想把概念“湊合”成圖，為了畫圖而畫圖，缺乏畫腦圖的用途。例如：為了說明汽車的製造方式，以告知事物為用途，畫腦圖的人有用途在心中，不會“亂畫”。又例如：為了聯想，為了更多創意，為了擴大自己的想法，想到甚麼，即記下來，概念之間，會有甚麼關係？由畫腦圖的人多想想。先用圖，再用文字記下，可能由圖得到啟發，記下更多觀點，未必即時有用，可能以備日後翻閱。有用途，有助判斷腦圖是否畫得好，畫得合適。沒有用途，

融合英語學習於腦圖應用

2008-04-22T19:27:00.002+08:00

假設大家知道腦圖是把不同概念用圖像表達出來‥‥‥要一部分英語，文字也好，句字也好，化為圖像，再表達出來，並且引起共鳴，發展空間十分之大。drink 容易用圖像表達， smart 較難， sensible 更難，所以，用圖用得好，談何容易。

Mind map for organization 腦圖用作組織

2008-03-27T23:06:00.003+08:00

正如 Moleskine 記事本，腦圖可用來組織日常生活。(Moleskine 記事本，在合上時可由繩索繫上，而打開時，左右頁面之間由金屬相連，因金屬一按即穩固的設計而頁面便於平放。)用圖或者用文字，又或者圖文並重，把生活的點滴在紙上呈現出來。腦圖強調相關之處，在近的空間表示比較相關，在較遠的空間表示關聯甚少或者表示不相關。在腦圖之中，相近的文字圖像，可能是同一類，這就培養了分類的良好習慣。參考網頁：http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/24/195726.phphttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moleskine
