Food Idioms 美國生活用語：更多蛋More Eggs 🥚

Everybody loves eggs, so how about some more egg idioms this week? 每個人都喜歡吃蛋，所以這週我們繼續來談更多的蛋。

1⃣ tough/hard egg to crack
2⃣ sb. can’t boil an egg
3⃣ kill the goose that laid the golden eggs
4⃣ goose egg
5⃣ lay an egg
--
Remember the expression “tough/hard nut to crack”? Well, 1⃣ “tough/hard egg to crack” has exactly the same meaning. Ex: For many language learners, English is a tough egg to crack.
還記得之前介紹過的tough/hard nut to crack「難搞的人事物」嗎？呃，把nut換成egg也是一樣的意思：For many language learners, English is a tough egg to crack.（對許多英語學習者來說，英語還蠻難搞的。）

Eggs are probably one of the easiest things to cook—just plop them in a pot and boil for three minutes. 2⃣ So if someone “can’t boil an egg,” it means they’re a bad cook, or can’t cook at all. Ex: Lots of millennials can’t boil an egg.
蛋大概是最容易料理的食物──只要把蛋丟進鍋中煮個三分鐘就好。所以，萬一有人是can’t boil an egg「連水煮蛋都不會煮」，那他一定是位很糟糕的廚師，或者根本沒有下廚天份。如：Lots of millennials can’t boil an egg.（許多九年級生連水煮蛋都不會。）

If you’ve read Aesop’s Fables, you know the story The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs. A farmer owns a goose that lays a golden egg every day, and thinks there must be a big lump of gold inside it. So he kills it and cuts it open, only to find no gold. 3⃣ “Kill the goose that laid the golden eggs” therefore came to mean to destroy a source of wealth through stupidity or greed. Ex: Why would he quit his civil service job? That would be killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.
如果你有看過伊索寓言，你應該聽過「下金蛋的鵝」這個故事。有位農夫有隻每天會下一顆金蛋的鵝。他心想，這隻鵝身體裡頭一定有塊黃金，所以把鵝給宰了，切開身體，卻找不到任何黃金。所以kill the goose that laid the gold eggs可延伸為「（因貪心或愚笨而）自斷財路」，如：Why would he quit his civil service job? That would be killing the goose that laid the golden eggs.（為什麼他要辭掉那個公務員工作？這根本是自斷財路。）

Speaking of goose eggs, 4⃣ a goose egg can also mean a score of zero in a game/contest or on a test. Ex: I got a goose egg on the quiz this morning. And finally, 5⃣ “lay an egg” can mean to fail in a publicly embarrassing way. Ex: The teacher tried to tell a funny joke, but he laid an egg.
提到goose egg鵝蛋，在英文裡也可以指競賽中沒有獲得任何分數，也就是中文的「零分，拿鴨蛋」意思。如：I got a goose egg on the quiz this morning.（我今天早上小考考了零分。）最後，lay an egg原本指「下蛋」，也可以延伸為「在公共場合下出糗，搞砸事情」，如：The teacher tried to tell a funny joke, but he laid an egg.（那位老師本來想說個笑話，但他搞砸了。）

【✍重點單字】
1. plop「扔」：當動詞。
2. millennial「千禧年世代」：指西元2000年左右出生的一代，相當於台灣的九年級生。
3. lay「下蛋；放置」：其過去式變化為lay-laid-laid。lay也可以當lie「躺著」的過去式，請注意區分。

術業有專攻:
小孩生病請務必找蓋有小兒科醫學會認證出廠的兒科醫師

這兩個禮拜我在FLEX，這是一個有趣的rotation，台灣好像沒有。FLEX設在R2，工作時間下午四點到十二點，目的只有一個：幫忙接admission。我們醫院值班時間是下午五點開始算起。5PM~7:30PM是白班on call team，7:30PM~8:00AM是夜班team。無論哪個team都是一個 senior (R3) + 兩個 R1 cover 病房。FLEX的功用就是幫忙減輕值班負擔，因為下午到半夜這段時間最容易進病人。我非常喜歡這個rotation，接新的病人有助於訓練思考跟判斷能力。研究顯示：住院醫師訓練期間接的新病人數量跟提高ITE考試成績有顯著關係 (ITE: 美國每一科的住院醫師每年都要接受一個叫做in training exam的考試。此考試成績能有效預測專科考試通過率，因為考題都是同一群人出的哈哈XD) (參考資料 Residency factors that influence pediatric in-training examination score improvement.) 在美國花一個小時接一位新病人是正常的，有些複雜的甚至要90分鐘，因為要花很多時間去翻以前的病歷。我現在每天工作八個小時平均看4~5位病人。在台灣如果以這種速度接病人大概永遠都不要想下班了 😭

最近有位4歲的病人因為嘔吐跟fussiness(中文不知道怎麼翻?就是很ㄏㄨㄢ的意思)來急診後被收住院。這位病人因為早產(小於24周)腦內出血導致腦性麻痺，還有水腦裝有VP shunt。在急診看這位病人的是位從外院來rotate的急診住院醫師(我們是兒童醫院，但我們急診有三種主治醫師: 兒專、兒急專跟急專; 也有三種住院醫師: 兒科、家醫科、急診科) 。病人在急診做了許多檢查(包括shunt study)，卻都沒有太大的發現於是入院觀察。在病房我花了30分鐘以上的時間詢問各項病史，發現他最近Baclofen(一種肌肉鬆弛劑，常用在腦性麻痺的病人)的劑量被提高，已經三天沒有大便了。rectal exam觸摸到大量便便，KUB一照便便都一路排到胃上面去了(誇飾法)。給了Enema後排出大量便便就不吐了.....

寫出這個例子的目的不是想說我比那位急診住院醫師厲害。急診科醫師的訓練在於應付緊急狀況跟急症，急診醫師看到嘔吐的首要任務是排除攸關性命、需要緊急處理的急症，不是找出確切原因。這位病人因為有VP shunt送到急診是正確的，急診醫師的處理也是正確的。但小孩生病排徐緊急狀況後的後續處理還是要靠小兒科 (而且小兒科醫師也知道如何處理緊急狀況，不用靠兒急專或是急專醫師。我們拿到兒專就可以在小兒急診工作了) 一般小孩生病如果你想真的解決問題，第一個應該要找的是兒科醫師，不是急診科醫師(除非急症)、不是內科、更不是耳鼻喉科。每個專科訓練的focus完全不同，兒科醫師花在看小孩時間絕對是其他專科無法相比的。在美國小孩生病沒有人會先帶去給耳鼻喉科醫師看，因為這根本完全邏輯不通。難道小孩子發燒就只會是上呼吸道感染嗎?! 如果帶去急診，一出來就300美金，急診醫師可能連藥都不開就叫你回家找你的小兒科醫師。內科不能看小孩。家醫科可以看小孩但很少有醫師願意看青少年以下的小朋友 (根據AAFP統計，家醫科的兒科病人數只佔10~15%) 。在這裡，小孩生病的第一站就是兒科醫師，我認為這才是正確的作法。

術業有專攻，尊重專業讓每個人各司其職發揮最大的用處，或許是當今我們社會最需要努力的地方。再次強調，***小孩子生病請務必找蓋有小兒科醫學會認證出廠的兒科醫師 *** ，謝謝。

Why taking the SAT or ACT when you’re not ready is a terrible mistake.

For several years now, I’ve noticed that many of my students who study at international schools tend to take an SAT test just to “test the waters.”

This is such a bad move it’s not funny!

What’s so bad about it?

American admissions officers dislike students who only focus on tests. So, even if you manage to get a high score after you’ve taken the SAT too many times, you might be rejected anyway.

Your SAT score is so important! Please do not waste any opportunity to get a high score!

I read the following quote on Dartmouth’s website:

“We don't recommend excessive testing. Making the most out of your high school opportunities is more important than repeatedly taking standardized tests."

Is it only Dartmouth?

Actually, this kind of statement isn’t unique to Dartmouth - it’s pretty standard. Most of the top universities say exactly the same thing. This causes many people to believe that colleges don’t really care much about your SAT score.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

All you have to do is to look at the average SAT/ACT scores that enrolling students receive. As an example, successful applicants to Dartmouth average around 1500 (out of 1600). That’s pretty high! What do they mean then?

They mean that students need to focus on non-academic pursuits AS WELL AS getting a very high score on their SATs.

So, you definitely need a high SAT score, but you can’t look like you care that much. If you take a test before you’re ready, there will be a record of your lower-than-ideal score. You’ll naturally need to retake the exam a second, third, and, possibly, fourth, time.

Let’s say that you do achieve your ideal score on the fourth or fifth attempt. How will the admissions officer view you when you have exactly the same score as another applicant who only took the test twice or three times? Who will they select?

Naturally, they will not choose you because you look like a testing machine.

In the US, everybody knows that it’s foolish to take the SAT or ACT more than three times. That means that you should NEVER waste an attempt. You should be ready before you ever take the test.

So, what should you do?

First, “test the waters” in a safe environment: your home.

You can do some practice questions on Khan Academy to get a feel for the test. Then, when you feel ready to tackle the whole test, do one of the Official Tests found on Khan or CollegeBoard:

https://www.khanacademy.org/mission/sat/exams

https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/practice/full-length-practice-tests

Make sure you download the test, print it out and do it on paper. If you do it on the computer, you will NOT be simulating the real test.

Presently, there are a total of 9 released tests. CollegeBoard and Khan have released 8, and there is one more floating about on the internet. (As an aside, I actually use this test in my classes. I purposely avoid the other released tests because most schools use them and so do many students. I hate it when students say, “I’ve done that test before!”)

Simply using these tests will give you a good idea of what score you would get if you took the real test. And you can do this without risking being labelled a testing machine.

Also, as there are only 9 official tests out there, don’t waste them. Granted, there are other “official” tests online or in some schools, but these are usually riddled with errors or are incomplete. (I personally hate doing a test and not knowing which questions are faulty before doing it. Most of the time, students spend a lot of time trying to figure out the answers to questions that do not even have answers. It can be very frustrating.)

Another thing: of the nine, only 5 of them are previously administered tests. The first four “official tests” were designed before CollegeBoard switched from the old SAT to the new one in 2016. These four tests are quite easy compared to what is being tested now, so are not a great indicator of your future score. They are great for practicing question types - just understand that if you get a really high score on them it doesn’t mean that you will do just as well on test day.

Only tests 5-9 (also easier than the current tests) are the closest thing we have to the current SAT tests. Still, these are easier than the current test, especially in the reading section, so be aware that the reading will most probably be even tougher than what is in all of the officially released tests.

If you have any other questions related to how to prep for your SATs, feel free to leave a message below or PM me.

Enjoy your SAT studies!

There’s no score available, this cover was done by ear.

周杰倫6首經典情歌串燒來了！
明明就、青花瓷、擱淺、楓、手寫的從前、退後
周杰倫的歌比一般歌手的歌不容易聽膩
不管是旋律、和弦、還是歌詞都很特別

所有歌的key我都是照著原本的 沒有升高或降低
這也算是我其中一個強迫症🤣
每次彈cover我絕對不改key
因為我覺得人家歌手寫那個key一定有他的道理 所以我就是一定要照著他的key彈！

人家每次問我最喜歡聽誰的中文歌
我一定立馬回答周杰倫：））
他的歌我聽最多 所也才有辦法做接歌
之前在我IG精選動態也有即興彈周杰倫的接歌過
但那每首歌只需要彈15秒 所以很容易
這次彈這個一鏡到底 連著六首
我只能說 差點沒被我自己搞死🤣
因爲一鏡到底 沒有修音的緣故
所以有些微錯音還請大家多多包容🧡
希望你們喜歡這次的cover！

Here is a mashup of six songs I’ve pieced together from Jay Chou! @周杰倫 Jay Chou
I played all the songs with its original keys because I feel like there must be a reason the singer chose these keys for the songs.

Jay Chou has been my favorite Taiwanese singer since I was young - you won’t get tired of his songs easily because the melodies, chords and lyrics are just so unique.

I actually improvised Jay Chou’s songs on my Instagram before (you guys can still see it on my Instagram Highlight.) That was easy because I only had to play 15 seconds for each song:))
But now, there are six songs in a row, with a duration of 11 minutes in total (all done in one take)...so you might hear some wrong notes:p
Anyway, I hope you guys will love this cover the same as I do👾💞

*There’s no score available, this cover was done by ear.

Hi guys! I’ve been watching “Attack on Titan” recently, so I decided to play the opening song “My War” from the last season!

I didn’t really like this song when I first heard it, but somehow it just stuck to me—it’s really catchy😂
I must say that this song is much harder than Gurenge...since I didn’t want to rearrange with an easier version, so I made lots of octaves with both hands throughout this song🥲.

Anyway, I hope you guys like my interpretation of this song, I will play the opening of season 2 in the future too!

AND I will be posting “Watashi no Uso” from ‘Your lie in April’ tomorrow, stay tuned!🔥

進擊的巨人我前一陣子跟小賈瘋狂追 一個禮拜內看完三季：）
一開始覺得這第四季的片頭曲也太難聽...但越聽越悅耳😀就決定要錄了！
真正錄完這首後我必須說
雖然這首短 但是彈起來比紅蓮華還要難好嗎！
主要是我手最多就撐到九度（硬撐）
所以連續一大堆八度這樣彈真的很累人🥲
然後我又強迫症一定要one take
結果就是搞死自己☺️

總之希望你們喜歡我詮釋的版本！
未來我還會錄進擊的巨人第2季片頭曲哈哈
但我想先轉換個風格 下一首錄個中文或英文歌
不然網友應該都以為我是宅宅了😌

啊明天還會發Watashi no Uso～
再記得來我頻道聽完整版呀！
