sit up意思 在 謙預 Qianyu.sg Facebook 的最讚貼文
【我親愛的Zoom視訊客人們】
To My Dear Zoom Clients
我忍了真的⋯⋯真的⋯⋯很久,今天過後實在忍無可忍,一定要叮嚀所有過去和未來的客人們。
我年紀很大了,受不了太大的刺激。
拜託,你們可以Zoom好來嗎?😓😑
一、Zoom視訊的視角 = 拍護照照的視角
護照自2020年起就已成為古董,但大家這一生應該有拍過證件照吧!
對了,就是要頭髮整齊,讓我看到你的雙耳、雙眼、鼻子、嘴巴、頸項和肩膀,到胸部。
我批八字時,需要看整個面相。不要讓你一半的臉掉出鏡頭外,這樣很像鍾無艷,也不要嘴巴不見掉,這樣我很像在跟一條羅漢魚視訊。
我看面相包括看你的嘴巴、牙齒和說話時的嘴形。是的,看相就是需要那麼仔細。
如果你的螢幕太低,那就找書本或舊報紙,把螢幕墊高一點。別讓我整一個小時半只看到你的雙下巴,會把你的面相比例給看錯。
不要一直告訴我不好意思,方法是人想出來的。
•
二、光線
太暗,我看你如見鬼。
太亮,我會看不清你的膚色。
拉開窗簾,不要背向陽光。
有必要的話,就直接開燈!
•
三、勿放什麼椰樹沙灘/金門大橋的虛擬背景圖
什麼虛擬背景圖都不要放啦~
我的家美最重要,我不在乎你的家美不美,我只是來看命的。
如果你的Wi-Fi不是很強,電腦功能不是很厲害,這類的虛擬背景圖會讓你的視訊畫面卡卡的。
有時你轉個身,整個右邊不見了,或部份的頭髮少了,讓我覺得我好像在看恐怖片,嚇人啊~
•
四、環境和聲音
有些海外客人其實非常用心。為了與我視訊,特別去買有麥克風的耳機🎧,讓我能更清楚的聽到他們的聲音。😍
沒有使用耳機和麥克風的客人,往往他們的聲音會有種空氣般的回音,如果他們本身講話又小聲,我的耳機聲量開滿,我還是聽得滿辛苦的
也有香港和馬來西亞客人租過會議室、鐘點房間或單人工作室,就是為了不受家人的干擾,能安心的與我視訊。😍
最有趣的是,去年新加坡阻斷措施時,有位男客人跑到屋外的走廊坐在地上與我視訊。只是外頭風聲有點大,我好幾次都聽不清楚他的聲音。
曾有客人在咖啡廳與我視訊。咖啡廳裡的高談闊論聲和器皿的敲擊聲,頻頻從我的耳機闖進我的耳朵,哇~我的耳朵那時真的是活受罪,還要裝一副氣定神閒的樣子。
天啊,兩次過後,我寧願退錢,也不再見這樣的客人了。耳朵只有一對,我要保護好啊!
在這裡聲明:一般我們買手機時的那種有麥克風的耳機,就已能視訊。沒有戴耳機和麥克風的客人,我一概會拒絕諮詢,把費用原銀奉還。
五、孩子
曾試過諮詢的前20分鐘,一直被女客人的小孩打擾,進來哭著要媽媽主持公道。
如果你家中有六歲以下的兒童,會時不時來敲你的門,我建議你還是先別約我。你這樣會分心,無法聽好我交代的事,而我也得一直等你去安撫你的孩子,就無法在限定時間內看完你的八字,這樣對誰都不公平。
六、我只見客人一人
這個規矩,從我一出道就定下來,也清楚的寫在網站上,根本不用一而再的來試探水溫。
但這兩個星期,還是有客人硬闖關,事先安排自己的配偶/孩子坐在電腦的另一面,要他們聽我講他的八字。
我從不改我的規矩,也沒有八字或風水是我非看不可的。
讀書這麼高,連自己的命都不能自己負責,這已經不是能改到命的人了。
你一定要你的配偶陪你聽,那你需要的不是我來教你改命,是你的配偶來安你的心。
將來若還有這樣的事,我會直接中斷視訊,把錢退回去。
七、「我第一次用Zoom!」
可是從報名那天到今天的諮詢,你有兩個月的時間去摸索。
兩個月,怎麼還是錯誤百出?因為客人根本沒有事先準備和練習。
結果我就這樣等了20分鐘,還得等對方下載軟件。
Zoom不難使用,但如果是你沒有花時間去摸索,就不要撒謊,直接說,我就直接退現錢。
品德是改命的資糧,不要為了自己能脫身就隨便編一個漏洞百出的謊,還說自己是好人。這...不會臉皮太厚了嗎?
小事都不願做好,絕對不會成大器。
八、暈車
有些客人用Ipad或手機來視訊。
重點是,他一支手拿著手機,一支手拿筆寫筆記。他一邊寫,另一支手就一邊搖晃。他做在床上,移動一下,手機就彷彿大海嘯幾下🌊
我一天如果見三個這樣客人,我的視線就搖晃了5個小時。工作完畢後,頭也會痛得厲害,無法完成晚上製片的工作。
沒有自拍器三腳架,也應該有些書本或東西來頂著手機。
各位,多點善心,為我著想一下吧⋯⋯
__________________________
To My Dear Zoom Clients
I have been enduring it for a really really long time. That's it! I am gonna put a stop to this after today and send out this reminder to all my past and future clients.
I am getting on in years, and cannot stand too much stimulation.
Please.... can you guys do a proper Zoom?
Number 1: Going on screen in Zoom = Taking a photograph for your passport.
Since 2020, the passport has become something of an antique but I believe everyone has taken some kind of ID photos! Yes, the ones with your neatly combed trusses where I can see both your ears, nose, mouth, neck, shoulder all the way to your chest.
I would like to see your full face during the Bazi Consultation. Please don't allow half your face to fall off the screen and you end up looking like Zhong Wu Yan! Please also don't hide your mouth making me feel like I am talking to a Arrowana.
When I analyze your facial features, it includes your mouth, teeth and the shape of your mouth while you are talking. Yes, it is down to such level of details.
If your PC / Laptop monitor is too low, please find a book or old newspapers and stack it on top. Please don't let me only see your double chin for that 1.5 hours, as I would probably get the proportion of your face wrong.
Don't keep telling me you are apologetic. Think of a way out.
Number 2: The background lighting.
Too dark, you risk looking like a ghost.
Too bright, I cannot figure out your skin color.
Draw open the curtains, but don't face your back to the sunlight.
If necessary, just turn on the lights!
Number 3: Background images of coconut trees on sandy beaches or the Golden Gate Bridge.
There is no need to put on a virtual background. I only care about how my hone looks, I am not bothered by yours. I am only here to see your Bazi.
If your WIFI signal or your PC / Laptop performance is poor, using the virtual background can often make your Zoom video choppy. Sometimes when you turn your body, one side of your body or some part of your hair will disappear. It's really like one of those spooky movies scaring the wits out of me.
•
Number 4: Background environment and noise.
Some of my overseas clients really put in effort for our Zoom sessions. They bought a headset with a mic so that I can hear them properly and vice versa.
Those that did not use a earphone or a headset often sounded echo-ish, and if they spoke softly, I would have to turn on the volume on my side full throttle and still have a hard time trying to hear them.
There are some clients from Hong Kong and Malaysia who would rent meeting rooms, hotel rooms or private work spaces by the hour so as to reduce any disturbance from others and better focus on the Zoom session with me.
I recalled an interesting incident during the Circuit Breaker last year. A client from Singapore Zoom-ed with me along the corridor outside his house. Most of the time, I was hearing the howling of the winds rather than his voice.
Some clients sat themselves in coffee places for our session. These places are often filled with loud chatters and the clanging of cups and plates, and my ears suffered terribly. Yet, I have to continue to be seen as composed and attentive.
Goodness me, after 2 of such experiences, I decided that I rather refund these clients and never see them again. I have only 1 pair of ears and I want to protect them at all costs!
A normal earpiece that comes with the purchase of a handphone is good enough for Zoom video calls. For clients who do not have a earpiece/headset and a mic, I would end the consultation and refund the monies.
•
Number 5: Children
There was once where a session with a female client was repeatedly disrupted by her kids, running in crying for their mother to settle their quarrels. If you have children below 6 years of age, and likely to interrupt our session, I suggest you don't book a consultation with me.
You will be distracted, unable to focus on my advice and I have to wait for you to clear up the situation with your children, eating into the allowable time for me to complete the consultation. This is unfair to both you and me.
•
Number 6: I only meet one person, that is the Client.
I have set this requirement the day I stepped into this line of work, and it is clearly written in my booking form. There is no need to try your luck under any circumstances.
But in the space of 2 weeks, there were some clients who rode their luck and got their spouse / child to sit on the other side of the screen to listen in on our consultation.
I never change my stance, and there is no single client that I cannot afford to lose.
If you insist to have your spouse sit in, it is apparent that you do not need me to help transform your destiny. Rather you really need your spouse to put your heart at ease.
If such things happen the next time, I will end the session immediately and refund the fees.
•
Number 7: "My first time using Zoom"
But you have 2 full months to prepare before our actual consultation. You did not end up wasting time exploring the software and I wasted 20 mins waiting for you to download the software.
Zoom is an easy software to use but if you did not spend the time to familiarize yourself with it, please quit the lies and tell me directly. I will refund the consultation fees on the spot.
Our moral ethics serve as the foundation for our transformation. Stop weaving web of lies to get out of sticky situations, and still claim that you are a good person. Isn't this too thick-skinned?
•
Number 8: Giddy spells
Some clients use Ipad or their handphones for the Zoom session. Crucially, they hold the device with one hand, and take notes with the other. As they write, the other hand holding the phone becomes shaky. If he is doing that on his bed, his handphone would shake like a tsunami wave every time he changes his position.
If I see 3 such clients within a day, it would be 5 hours of shaking visuals for me. That would mean a splitting headache at the end of my work day, and not being able to work on my videos at night.
Even if you don't have a tripod stand, at least prop up the device with a book or something.
Please everyone, please be kind and have mercy on me......

#EZTALK #你不知道的美國大小事
#五十步笑百步 英文怎麼說 #打開看全文加強實力
本週🇺🇸美國大小事改來介紹煮菜少不了的鍋具啦!!
pot 跟 pan 平平都是「鍋」,但pot指「深鍋」,pan指「淺鍋」
今天先介紹跟pot有關的諺語 4 個~
順便搭上最近很夯的 #正義聯盟 四小時導演剪輯版作為例句
對 #syndercut 有興趣的讀者,不要錯過下週的 #編輯聊英文 podcast!
--正文開始
Have you ever noticed that it seems to take forever for water to boil if stand in front of the stove waiting?1⃣This is the source of the expression “a watched pot never boils,” which means that when you want something to happen, paying close attention will make the wait seem much longer. Ex: Don’t just sit there next to the phone waiting for Lisa to call—a watched pot never boils.
不知道你有沒有注意到,煮水的時候你要是一直站在爐火前等,這等待的時間彷彿就像永遠一樣長?這種感覺正好是諺語a watched pot never boils「某事是急不得的」的由來,意思是:當你越希望某件事情能發生,給它越多關注,那件事情就似乎越晚才會發生。如:Don’t just sit there next to the phone waiting for Lisa to call—a watched pot never boils.(不要只是坐在電話旁邊等麗莎打給你──心急吃不了熱豆腐。)
Pots and kettles left on the stove for a long time tend to turn black. So if the pot calls the kettle black, well, the pot is probably black too. 2⃣ So this idiom is used to describe people criticising another person for a fault they have themselves. Ex: Robert accused me of being selfish—talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
要是把鍋跟煮水壺放在爐火上越久,顏色就會變深變黑。所以如果鍋子笑水壺黑,嗯,鍋子自己也是黑的啊。因此,諺語the pot calls the kettle black就是「五十步笑百步」的意思:Robert accused me of being selfish—talk about the pot calling the kettle black!(羅伯罵我自私──拜託,他是五十步笑百步好嗎!)
When you prepare meat to make a stew, you cut it up into tiny pieces and put in the pot. 3⃣ So the phrase “go to pot” came to mean “deteriorate, decline, be ruined.” Ex: Their business went to pot during the recession.
如果你要燉肉,你會把肉切成小塊再放入鍋裡,因此入鍋(go to pot)延伸有「毀壞、衰弱、完蛋」的意思,像是:Their business went to pot during the recession.(經濟蕭條期間,他們的公司也一起完蛋。)
4⃣But not all pots are made for cooking—like chamber pots, for example. You’d have to be pretty poor not to be able to afford a chamber pot, so if someone “doesn’t have a pot to piss in,” it means they’re very poor. Ex: Steve can’t lend you the money—he doesn’t have a pot to piss in.
不過呢,並非所有的鍋子都是用來煮飯的──像便壺(chamber pot)就不是。便壺這種東西,除非你是非常窮,否則不太可能買不起,因此,如果你說某人doesn’t have a pot to piss in(沒有便壺可小便),就是在暗示那個人非常窮困。如:Steve can’t lend you the money—he doesn’t have a pot to piss in.(史提夫不可能借你錢──他自己都窮到快被鬼抓走。)

六個童謠背後的恐怖故事,原來我們唱了那麼多年竟然不知道, HenHenTV奇異世界
十個童謠背後的恐怖故事:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huHmv2udty8
前五名童謠背後的恐怖故事:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzSrvnNh6As&t=4s
五個童謠背後的恐怖故事:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3POVHDIL4k
各位大家好,歡迎來到HenHenTV的奇異世界,我是Tommy。
從小都有聽一些童謠長大吧~其實那時那裡會知道童謠的歌詞真實意思呢!我們都是跟住童謠的旋律在唱,好像是这一首:小宝宝,吃蛋糕,饭仔mam mam 叔叔餵到。。。。
, 或者是:London bridge is falling down...等等的童謠,你確定你真的明白他的意思?
今天我們就來說六個童謠背後的恐怖故事,为什么是六個?!!!因为我没时间做够十個!
6倫敦橋倒塌下來了(London Bridge is falling down)
大家都有玩過這個遊戲和唱過這首歌吧?這橋建於1014年,英國國王為了抵抗丹麥的入侵而燒毀了這條橋,在1091年被暴風雨摧毀,然後在重建,在1136年被燒毀。然後就開始建石橋,上面那時是有商店,屋子,教堂等等,但是在1212發生了一場大火,它是從石橋的兩端燒起,結果燒死了3000多人,也有一個傳說就是有人提倡人柱,就是把小孩子活埋在基石下面,就可以穩固橋不會再倒塌。
5. 十個小黑人 ten little Indians
Ten little nigger boys went out to dine;
十個小黑人出外用膳;
One choked his little self, and then there were nine.
一個噎死還剩九個。
Nine little nigger boys sat up very late;
九個小黑人熬夜到很晚;
One overslept himself, and then there were eight.
一個睡過頭還剩八個。
Eight little nigger boys travelling in Devon;
八個小黑人在到丹文遊玩;
One said he'd stay there, and then there were seven.
一個說要留在那兒還剩七個。
Seven little nigger boys chopping up sticks;
七個小黑人在砍柴;
One chopped himself in half, and then there were six.
一個把自己砍成兩半還剩六個。
Six little nigger boys playing with a hive;
六個小黑人玩蜂窩;
A bumble-bee stung one, and then there were five.
一隻黃蜂叮住一個還剩五個。
Five little nigger boys going in for law;
五個小黑人進入法院;
One got in chancery, and then there were four.
一個被留下還剩四個。
Four little nigger boys going out to sea;
四個小黑人到海邊;
A red herring swallowed one, and then there were three.
一條紅鯡魚吞下一個還剩三個。
Three little nigger boys walking in the Zoo;
三個小黑人走進動物園裡;
A big bear bugged one, and then there were two.
一隻大熊抓走一個還剩兩個。
Two little nigger boys sitting in the sun;
兩個小黑人坐在太陽下;
One got frizzled up, and then there was one.
一個熱死只剩一個。
One little nigger boy living all alone;
一個小黑人覺得好寂寞;
He got married, and then there were none.
He went and hanged himself, and then there were none.
他結婚後一個也不剩。
他上吊後一個也不剩。
在歌詞裡面十個小黑人,最後一個也不剩。
這首歌詞原版是的小黑人nigger,過後被譯為小印第安人(nigger是非常帶有種族歧視的字眼)
到最後一個小黑人他覺得很寂寞,就自己上吊自殺了,過後因為覺得不適合兒童而改成結婚。而這首童謠也因為這黑暗的歌詞而被改成推理小說(無人生還 and then They Were None)大家可以去找這本書看看。而過後因為太過有種族歧視的意思在裡面而被改成現在的那首one little,two little,three little Indians。。。
4. Lizzie Borden took an Axe (莉淇波登拿了斧頭)
這首歌聽起來已經是毛骨悚然的,裡面的歌詞更是恐怖。它的歌詞如下:
Lizzie Borden took an axe, 莉琪波登拿起斧头
and gave her mother forty whacks. 劈了妈妈四十下
When she saw what she had done, 当她意识到自己的行为,
she gave her father forty-one. 又砍了爸爸四十一下。
这首童谣来自一个真人真事。在1892,一名美國银行家银行家安德鲁波登(Andrew Borden)被他33 岁的女儿莉兹波登(Lizzie Borden)发现用斧头砍死在屋内,之后莉兹的继母又被发现被斧头砍死在二楼。聽說是她殺了繼母過後被她爸爸發現而順手也殺了他爸爸。
但是最後她lizzie borden被法官判无罪释放,再次引起舆论哗然。所以才有了這首歌,但現在有哪一個媽媽會叫自己的女兒唱這首歌啊?
3. There is a crooked man
這首歌謠源自英國王室(Stuart)時期英格蘭國王查理一世
彎腰曲背的男人是指蘇格蘭將軍亞歷山大‧萊斯利(General Sir Alexander Leslie)。
這位將軍代表蘇格蘭,與英格蘭簽訂宗教及政治上的和平協約,「。. 但是其實crooked可以解釋為神經病患看這個世界也是扭曲的,在黑暗時期很多人因此而發瘋!這首歌也因為這樣而被納入在Conjuring 2電影裡面
2. Three blind mice 三隻瞎老鼠
Three blind mice, three blind mice. 三隻盲鼠,三隻盲鼠
See how they run, see how they run. 看牠們竄,看牠們竄
They all ran after the farmer's wife, 牠們全都追農夫老婆跑
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife 她用切肉刀斬掉牠們尾巴
Did you ever see such a sight in your life 你這輩子是否看過這奇觀
As three blind mice? 三隻盲鼠的奇觀
16世紀正是歐洲宗教革命時期,雖然亨利八世推行宗教改革、提倡基督新教,但他女兒瑪莉皇后卻是個虔誠的天主教徒(舊教)。她非常排斥新教,殺了很多基督教徒,因為這樣她也稱之為血腥瑪莉(Blood Mary)。
那三隻老鼠「three mice」是指三名堅守新教信條的貴族,他們因為信奉新教,因此被冠上「密謀抗后」的罪名處刑。
但是和童謠唱的不一樣,瑪莉皇后沒有將他們分屍,而是將他們活活燒死
1. 杜樹記裡面的 My mother has killed me我的媽媽殺了我
My mother has killed me, 我的媽媽殺了我,
My father is eating me, 我的爸爸在吃我
My brothers and sisters sit under the table, 我的兄弟姊妹坐在餐桌底
Picking up my bones, And they bury them, 撿起我的骨頭,埋了它們,
under the cold marble stones。埋到冰冷的石碑下
這個童謠是源自格林童話The Juniper Tree 杜樹記,那種血腥黑暗的原版故事為:故事描述一名小男孩,被狠心的繼母殺害,並將屍體煮成肉湯 ,當作爸爸的晚餐;小男孩的妹妹傷心欲絕,於是將爸爸吃剩的哥哥的骨頭,拿到杜松樹 下埋葬,沒想到小男孩化身為小鳥,並藉由美妙的歌聲取得三樣東西,回家殺掉繼母。
西方國家和東方國家對於死亡的態度從童謠就可以看得出來,東方國家比較避忌談論這個話題而西方國家從小就直接和兒童灌輸死亡的觀念,但無論如何,教導兒女如何做人處事,黑白分明是比考試考滿分更重要。
