Let It Go

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
今晚雪花在山頭潔白發亮
Not a footprint to be seen
不見任何足跡
A kingdom of isolation

And it looks like I'm the Queen

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside

Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
隱藏、別去感受、別讓他們知道
Well, now they know
嗯，現在他們知道了

Let it go, let it go
隨它去、隨它去
Can't hold it back anymore
再也無法退縮
Let it go, let it go
隨它去、隨它去
Turn away and slam the door
轉過身甩上門

I don't care what they're going to say
我不在意他們會說些什麼
Let the storm rage on
就讓狂風肆虐
The cold never bothered me anyway
反正我從來都不怕冷

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small
保持點距離讓一切看來渺小還真有趣
And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all
一度控制我的恐懼完全無法找上我

It's time to see what I can do
是時候看看我能做些什麼
To test the limits and break through
測試極限、做出突破
No right, no wrong, no rules for me
對我而言沒有對錯、沒有規則
I'm free!
我是自由的!

Let it go, let it go
隨它去，隨它去
I am one with the wind and sky
我獨自和風兒與天空作伴
Let it go, let it go
隨它去、隨它去
You'll never see me cry
你永遠看不見我哭泣

Here I stand
我立足於此
And here I'll stay
我將停留於此
Let the storm rage on
就讓狂風肆虐

My power flurries through the air into the ground
我的力量從空中呼嘯而來到地面
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
我的靈魂在冰凍的碎片中四處打轉
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
一個想法就像一陣寒風般結晶
I'm never going back
我永遠不會回去
The past is in the past
過去就留在過去

Let it go, let it go
隨它去，隨它去
And I'll rise like the break of dawn
我將如破曉般崛起
Let it go, let it go
隨它去，隨它去
That perfect girl is gone
那完美女孩已經不在了

Here I stand in the light of day
我站在日光之中
Let the storm rage on
就讓狂風肆虐
The cold never bothered me anyway!
反正我從來都不怕冷!

看皮克斯電影《怪獸大學》學英文

作者：Byran Shettig        圖片：得利影視提供

Monsters University 

怪獸大學

Mike Wazowski, a green monster with gangly legs and one large eye, is 17 years old and dreams of becoming a professional “scarer.” He enrolls in Monsters University, where many of the scariest monsters have trained. There he shares a dorm room with Sulley, the big man on campus and a born scarer. Sulley, however, doesn’t think Mike will ever be an effective monster. The two monsters compete fiercely against each other to get into the university’s coveted scaring program. This confrontation causes their ongoing feud to become too intense though, and eventually they’re both kicked out of the School of Scaring. Interestingly, the unlikely duo must team up to get back into the school and graduate from Monsters University. 

17歲的麥克‧華斯基（大眼仔）是隻兩腿瘦小且只有一顆大眼睛的綠色怪獸，他夢想成為一位專業的「驚嚇專員」。他進入怪獸大學就讀，許多最嚇人的怪獸都是在這間學校訓練出來的。麥克在大學裡和蘇利文（毛怪）同住一間宿舍，它是一位大隻佬，而且是天生的驚嚇專家，但蘇利文不認為麥克會成為一個有效的怪獸。為了能進入夢寐以求的驚嚇課程修課，兩隻怪獸彼此競爭激烈。這個衝突使得他們的長期爭吵更加劇烈，並且最終兩位都被逐出校園。有趣的是，這對不可能的雙人組合必須要搭檔合作以求重回校園，並且從怪獸大學畢業。

The plot of Pixar’s new film is set ten years before Monsters Inc., the 2001 film that introduced Mike and Sulley. This time though, the film hopes to shed some light on the pair’s first encounter and how they overcome their differences and become long-lasting friends. Audiences will see what innocent monsters go through on that scary journey from life at home to a big university.

皮克斯新電影的劇情設定在《怪獸電力公司》往前十年，當時麥克和蘇利文在此部西元2001年的電影中首次登場。而這一次，電影希望著重在這對組合的第一次接觸，以及他們如何克服彼此差異而成為長久的好友。觀眾將會看到天真的怪獸們從家中生活到大學校園所經歷的驚嚇旅程。

  

Monsters University is a prequel to its 2001 predecessor, showing viewers what life is like for a monster in college. It’s also Pixar’s first feature-length prequel, though the studio has been planning to make Monsters University since 2005. Employees at Pixar toured top universities in the US, including Harvard, MIT, and UC-Berkeley, for their research and even copied the schools’ websites and commercials. The Monsters University website imitates those of American universities down to the last detail, from campus maps, stories about professors, to the history of the university. Pixar also ran commercials on television, mildly spoofing similar ads aired by real universities which aim to recruit students.

《怪獸大學》是西元2001年前部作品的前傳，呈現給觀眾的是怪獸上大學的生活樣貌。這也是皮克斯出品的首部長篇前傳，雖然這家製片公司從西元2005年就開始計畫製作《怪獸大學》。皮克斯的員工走訪全美的頂尖大學，包含哈佛、麻省理工學院以及加州大學柏克萊分校，藉此研究甚至模仿這些學校的網站和招生廣告。《怪獸大學》的電影網站詳盡地仿效這些美國大學，從校園地圖、教授們的事蹟，到學校的歷史。皮克斯也在電視上播放廣告，微略地戲弄這些真實的大學用來招募學生的相似廣告。

To give some insight about campus life, Pixar shows viewers how monsters in the university experience many of the same activities as students at American universities. The college-aged monsters join fraternities and sororities, make new friends, party late into the night, and must compete with each other to get into their desired programs. Monsters University promises to transport viewers to the hilarious and frightening world of these young monsters as they try their best to grow up. 

為了深入介紹校園生活，皮克斯讓觀眾看到怪獸們如何體驗許多相同的校園活動，就像一般美國大學生會做的一樣。這些大學年齡的怪獸們加入兄弟會和姐妹會、結交新朋友、整晚開派對，而且還必須彼此競爭以求進入自己渴望的課程。隨著怪獸們努力長大，《怪獸大學》保證帶領觀眾進入這個既爆笑又嚇人的怪獸青少年世界。

落跑新娘 甩掉3任未婚夫 最後嫁給伴娘

英國女子與伴娘終修成正果

　　A runaway bride who jilted three men has finally tied the knot with her maid of homour。一個落跑新娘在甩了三個男人後，最終和曾經將成為她的首席伴娘的女人喜結連理。

　　Kerry De'ath, 29, first ran out on her fiance Craig Smith, 32, just months before they were set to jet to Florida for the dream wedding they spent years saving for.29歲的Kerry De'ath的第一次逃婚，發生在和第一任未婚夫將要坐噴氣式飛機去佛羅里達結婚前的幾個月。此前，Kerry和32歲的未婚夫Craig Smith為了能夠舉辦這場夢幻婚禮，可是積攢了多年。(Kerry De'ath和Craig Smith同居11年，生了一子一女，兩人省吃儉用，想在佛羅里達州辦夢幻婚禮，但到最後關頭反悔。--中時電子報)

　　The bolting bride then settled down with a second love, Dave Futter, 29, for two and a half years - but left him when he popped the question。接著這位落跑新娘和第二任愛人，29歲的Dave Futter，安定下來共度了兩年半，但是又在他提出結婚時離開了他。

　　Next she started dating Nick Farmer, 29, and the happy couple moved in together, booked their wedding and reception and even sent out all the invitations。隨後她又開始和29歲的Nick Farmer約會，這對幸福的情侶搬到一起同居，預定了婚禮和宴會，並送出了所有的婚禮請柬。

　　But her world was turned upside down when her chief bridesmaid Sarah Woodford, 33, plucked up the courage to confess her love for her - just six weeks before the big day。但是就在離婚禮當天僅有六個星期的時候，她的首席伴娘，33歲的Sarah Woodford 鼓起勇氣向她表達了愛意，至此Kerry的世界完全顛覆了。

　　Incredibly, Kerry suddenly realised why she had never been able to settle down with Mr Right - because she had been looking for Mrs Right。令人難以置信的是，Kerry馬上意識到了為什麼她一直沒能和如意郎君相處到最後：因為自己一直在尋找的是那個對的“她”。

　　Kerry ditched Nick, but delayed explaining the real reason - afraid of hurting his feelings. Instead she moved in with her secret admirer and six months later brave Sarah proposed to Kerry, who said yes.Kerry拋棄了Nick，但是因為害怕傷害他的感情而遲遲沒有解釋真正的原因。她和偷偷傾慕她已久的Sarah住到了一起。六個月後Sarah 勇敢地向Kerry求婚，Kerry答應了。

你不能控制和誰墜入愛河

　　Relieved friends have now finally seen Kerry make it down the aisle at the couple's no-expense-spared bash - held at the same venue where she had planned to marry a man。現在朋友們終於可以感到寬慰，他們一起見證了這兩位耗資巨大的婚禮，而婚禮的舉行地點，正是Kerry原本打算嫁給第三任未婚夫的那間禮堂裡。

　　The happy bride said that finally getting married had been the happiest day of her life. She said: 'I know it sounds like something out of a film, but you can't help who you fall in love with.'幸福的新娘說，這來之不易的新婚之日是她此生最幸福的日子。她說：“我知道這聽起來像是發生在電影裡的故事，但是你不能控制和誰墜入愛河。”

　　'I settled down with men but every time they started talking about marriage something just didn't feel right and I panicked. ' “我以前和男人相處生活，但是每當他們開始談及婚姻，我總是感覺不對勁，然後就開始恐慌。”

　　'When I was making arrangements to marry Nick, Sarah sat me down on her bed and said 'I love you'.I couldn't believe it. Then she said 'don't marry him'. ' “當我在準備和Nick的婚禮時，Sarah讓我坐在她的床上，她說'我愛你'。我簡直不敢相信。然後她又說'不要嫁給他。'”

　　'I had no idea how she felt. But as she said the words I started to feel right.I'd spent all that time worrying about marrying a man - when it was a woman I was looking for. ' “我不知道她是什麼感覺。但是當她說了這一席話，我開始感覺對了。我總是在為和一個男人結婚而擔心，而我突然明白了：我一直在尋找的應該是個女人。”

　　'My family have been great and really supportive, which was a relief because they are quite old fashioned so I was really worried. '“我的家人們都很好，他們都很支持我，這對我來說如釋重負，因為他們是相當保守的人，我非常擔心他們不能接受。”

　　After three failed attempts the runaway bride finally married on September 15 at Langtons House registry office in Hornchurch, Essex, watched by 140 guests。在三次嘗試結婚失敗之後，9月15日，這位落跑新娘在140位客人的注視下，在英國艾塞克斯郡霍克奇市的Langtons House登記處結婚了。

　　Sarah, who was secretly in love with Kerry for two years before finding the courage to tell her, said: 'I never thought I would get the reaction I did. But now I am so glad I stopped the wedding.' 其實在有勇氣告白之前，Sarah已經暗戀Kerry兩年了，她說：“我從來沒想過自己會做出這樣的舉動，但是我現在是多麼慶幸當初阻止了她的婚禮。”

　　Understanding Dave Futter, the second fiance Kerry jilted, wished her well for married life。遭Kerry拋棄的第二任未婚夫Dave Futter非常善解人意，他祝愿Kerry新婚快樂。

　　He admitted said: 'I always had an inkling that Kerry liked women. But as long as she is happy, that's all that matters. They seem really happy together. And we are still friends.'他承認：“我一直感到Kerry有可能喜歡女人。但是只要她幸福，這才是最重要的。他們在一起看上去真的很快樂。而我和她依然是朋友。”

Wikipedia Kid

之前我們有降落傘小孩、直昇機父母，如今又有維基小子。
什麼是維基小子？你是維基小子嗎？



網路興起後，維基百科成為網路上的知識與資訊中心，這個免費的百科全書什麼資料都有，雖然它的正確性遭人懷疑，但因為使用者多，又是最早搶得龍頭地位，它幾乎取代了其他各種紙本的百科全書，成為一般人，尤其是大中小學生，寫作業交報告必看的參考資料庫。

因為使用方便，學生上維基搜尋、剪剪貼貼，很快就可完成一篇報告，結果他們對基本的研究方法一無所知，更不會思考批判資料內容的可靠性。

大學教授對這種學生叫做Wikipedia kid 維基小孩。

加拿大屋太華一個大學的英文教授感慨地說，維基小孩這個新詞十分貼切。在現在這個數位時代，年輕人個個精通電腦歌科技，但是卻不會正確使用研究方法。太多的高中畢業生在研究報告中，不知道如何做交叉註解，她們不肯花時間閱讀、思考，不會把所學的吸收消化，成為知識的一部份。

教授認為，做研究要會應用一手資料，而不僅是把網路上的二手資料剪貼拼湊成一篇文章而已。

維基小孩就是指這些準備不足就上大學的新世代。二零零九年四月六日，加拿大安大略省教授會在一個研究報告中首先提到這個新詞。八日渥太華市民報引用了這個術語，引起其他媒體的注意。

維基小孩具有一個共同點：不成熟、倚賴諸如維基百科之類的網路資料庫做研究工具。他們不獨立思考，只想用最少的代價獲得成果。

Wikipedia Kid

Meaning: A student who has poor research skills and lacks the ability to think critically.

顧名思義，Wikipedia kid肯定和Wikipedia有關。Wikipedia即維基百科，是一部用不同語言寫成的網絡百科全書，也被稱作“人民的百科全書”。

當我們在互聯網上輸入一個詞條時，很多時候，我們都可以從維基百科那裡找到答案。但是現在這種方便的查找資料的方式，越來越受到質疑，特別是對於我們的青少年來說，如果他們輕點鼠標，就可以找到問題的答案，那是不是也太容易了點呢? 所以Wikipedia Kid就用來指那些缺乏鑽研精神、批判精神和獨立思考能力的人。但話又說回來，有了這麼方便的方式而不採用，那互聯網技術的飛速發展又有什麼意義呢?這是一個值得我們深思的問題。

I was very impressed by the report's neologism: “Wikipedia kids”. Too many graduates of high schools know how to cut and paste， but they fail to learn independently and they expect success without putting in the effort.(“維基一代”這個新詞給我留下了深刻的印象。太多的中學生只懂得怎麼去剪切、粘貼，但他們卻沒有學會獨立思考，都想不勞而獲。)

快點上車

Come on, jump in / hop in. 快點上車


一般我們認為上車叫get on，但是其實get on只用在大的巴士，
例如「坐公車」是get on the bus，或是「騎馬」，可以說get on the horse。


一般小汽車是不能用get on the car的，只有在有往上爬的動作時才能用get on，那要用什麼才對呢？
jump in就是一個不錯的字眼，或是hop in也很常用，你可以說：Come on, jump in the car。
同樣的，下車也分兩種，如果是從大車上下來，如巴士，就像我們以前所學的用get off。 
從小轎車中出來就不叫get off，要用get out，例如：Everybody gets out.就是「大家都下車吧。」

我的世界地圖－紐約 慾望城市，吻了再說

From：中時電子報 http://news.chinatimes.com/CMoney/News/News-Page-content/0,4993,11050707+122010013000441,00.html#

美國影集《慾望城市》（Sex and the City）成功的替人們對於紐約畫下一個夢想藍圖，它在全球賣的只是影集或電影，它行銷了紐約。

　"Maybe I can't leave New York. I don't know how I'd do someplace else." - Carrie Bradshaw

　4個女人，4種紐約生活，讓許多人對這個土地懷抱夢想，希望有一天可以穿著華服、過著劇裡的紐約生活，找到自己的Mr.Big大人物。

　對於一個時尚人而言，紐約是個必須朝聖地；對於一個藝術人而言，它是一個盡情揮灑創意的天地；對於一個表演者而言，它提供無數個站上國際舞台的機會；對於商人而言，眾多的人帶來無限的商機；對於一個紐約客而言，它是一種毒藥，又愛又恨；對於一個旅客而言，它是個謎。

　所謂的時尚，在紐約是一種態度，是一種對於生活的品味，各國文化造就出專屬紐約的生活態度，所謂紐約的冷漠，不過是不懂得欣賞在一片黑色底下的精采熱情，如果沒有對於生命的熱情，那麼就不可能造就出每一齣經典Broadway劇，就醞釀不出Marc Jacobs這種設計鬼才，也不會有Wall Street裡每天跟股市打交道的一群金融高手，更不會有無數個廚師每天絞盡腦汁創造出無國界料理；在紐約，它的特別來自於一切生活習慣於創造藝術、欣賞文化。

　New York - The Big Apple

　It goes without saying that New York City is one of the most popular cities in the world. Is it for the reason that a lot of people want a taste of the Big Apple? Or is it that people just want to fit in the so-called trendy American lifestyle? Fashionably speaking, it is a city that tops all the cities in the States.

　New York City is the place that combines the past, present, and future of the world. The vast numbers of museums in the city are what take people into history. From MOMA to street graffiti, you see art, you feel art, and then you understand art. From luxury dining to the famous chicken on rice in the financial district, you sense food is not just something to fulfill your physical hunger, but also a way of life. From taking a ride on the subway, you'll see different expressions, different colors, and different cultures. From the stock markets on Wall Street, you predict future with numbers. From every New York fashion week, you forecast not only clothing and accessories, but movements in the world. There's always something to do in the city. It isn't just a city to travel to; it is a city to wander around for a lifetime.

　Goes without saying的意思是不言而喻，所以在文章裡整句話的意思可解釋為：人人皆知紐約市是全世界最熱門的城市之一。

　Example: It goes without saying that Steve Jobs is the coolest icon in the world.

　So-called的意思為所謂的，在文章裡整句話可解釋為，還是人們只是想融入所謂的時尚美國生活？

　Example: After seeing Avatar, I'm convinced once again that James Cameron is a so-called genius in the movie industry.

　Fun Fact：為什麼紐約又稱大蘋果？

　Big Apple has been a nickname for New York City for as long as I remember. It was first popularized in the 1920s by John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer for the New York Morning Telegraph. It is rumored that Fitzgerald got the term from jockeys and trainers in New Orleans who aspired to race on New York City tracks, referring to the "Big Apple." He explained his use in a February 18, 1924, column under the headline "Around the Big Apple" : "The Big Apple. The dream of every lad that ever threw a leg over a thoroughbred and the goal of all horsemen. There's only one Big Apple. That's New York."

　原來是1920年代一位紐約早報的體育記者開始公開使用這個詞，讓世人對於紐約市和大蘋果做了連結。

　Later on, in the late 1920s and early 1930s, New York City's jazz musicians started referring to New York City as the "Big Apple." An old saying in show business was "There are many apples on the tree, but only one Big Apple." The nickname hit off in the public in the 1970s, due to a promotional campaign by the New York Convention and Visitors Bureau.

　一直到了1970年這個詞正式被紐約政府拿來當作一個行銷城市的說法。

　紐約是什麼樣的謎呢？慾望城市的Carrie Bradshaw說，這個城市最大的矛盾就是：有這麼多未婚好女人，但怎麼就找不到個未婚好男人？

　There are thousands, maybe tens of thousands of women like this in the city. We all know them, and we all agree they're great. They travel. They pay taxes. They'll spend $400 on a pair of Manolo Blahnik strappy sandals. And they're alone. It's like the riddle of the Sphinx. Why are there so many great unmarried women and no great unmarried men?

　你夠紐約了嗎？測一測你的紐約指數：

　1.Stand on line－請排隊，大部分美國人說：stand in line；紐約人會說：stand on line。

　2.Hero－跟英雄無關，紐約人超大義大利潛艇堡叫Hero。

　3.Do me a solid－如果有人問你：「Hey can you do me a solid?」就是Can you do me a favor?請人幫忙的意思。

　4.All right already!－這不是一句好話，意思是「That's enough! Stop it!」

　5.Carded意思不是你收到了一張卡片。carded意思是到了法定可以喝酒的年齡！

　6.Fuhhgeddaboutit－聽起來是不是有點無賴，紐約人就是這樣發音：「Forget about it!」

　7.Don't jerk my chain－ "jerk one's chain" 是一個紐約人有趣的俚語。假如你脖子上有條鏈子，有人幾分鐘就來拉扯一下，你是不是覺得很煩呢？ "Stop jerking my chain." 就是 "Leave me alone." 不要吵我、不要煩我的意思。

字用對了，英文就活了！

我曾經在一個演講場合，聽見台灣採訪者正訪問國外學者，採訪者頻頻點頭說I know，I know，I know。在台下真是為他急出一頭汗水。I know的意思，你要講的我都知道了，老外心裡一定納悶，你既然都知道了，我還說什麼？

　英文已經不錯了，有時卻錯最簡單的地方。I know，I see，I understand，意思簡單明瞭，就是「我知道」或是「我明白」了。可是我發現台灣人偏愛用I know，說I see相對少一些，而且分辨不出二者差別。

　I know是一個「不謙虛」的說法，意思是說「我知道的」，言外之意「不必你來告訴我」，特別是在別人指出什麼東西你做得不對的時候，一句I know可能被誤會成你是「明知故犯」。假如用了過去式I knew，那就更不謙虛而且故意了。

　I see是一句很能被接受的口語，似乎在別人的指點下「恍然大悟」－我終於明白了。I understand則比I see正式，瞭解對方。瞭解對方的說法，較好的說法I see what you mean.或 I understand what you mean. （注意：mean是動詞，不要說I know your meaning，這句話會讓人誤解為：我知道你意義或存在價值）

　下面是I see的一些例句，建議各位將它納入你的口語中：

　1. Yes, I see. 是的，我明白了。

　2. "The door opens like this." "Oh, I see."「這門是這樣開的。」、「噢，我明白了。」

　3. I see what you mean, the colors on the wires tell you which terminal to connect them to. 我明白了，這些電線上不同的顏色告訴你該去連接哪一個終端機。
