🛩When al Qaeda terrorists flew jetliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, they delivered an unprecedented shock to the nation’s sense of security and its economy. Commercial aviation was grounded for three days. The destruction to lower Manhattan closed the stock markets. Heightened security slowed trade with Canada and Mexico to a crawl. Nervous shoppers stayed away from stores and malls.
當蓋達組織駕駛著噴射客機撞向紐約世貿中心及五角大廈時,他們給美國的安全感以及經濟帶來了前所未有的衝擊,航空業因此停業三天,曼哈頓下城區的毀壞導致股票休市,高強度的安檢使得跟加拿大及墨西哥間的貿易停滯不前,焦慮的民眾因此不敢到商店及購物中心消費。
-unprecedented: 前所未見的(最近很常出現的用字!)
-ground: 常見用法是名詞為地板,此做動詞是禁足、限制的意思
-crawl: 爬行,此作名詞使用
🛩Economists predicted the attacks would tip a slowing economy into recession. People would be more reluctant to fly, work in a tall building or base their office in New York City.
因民眾將愈發不願搭乘飛機、在高樓工作,或是將辦公室設於紐約,當時經濟學家預測這將使當時已放緩的美國經濟進入衰退。
-tip: 使傾倒,這邊是個很生動的用法,搭配介係詞into,表示將當時已經搖搖欲墜經濟給再推了下,推入衰退中,這也是近期在專欄中第二次出現的字了!
reluctant: 不情願的
📉But the U.S. bounced back remarkably quickly. It was later determined that a recession triggered by the technology bust had begun six months before the attacks and ended two months afterward.
但隨後美國經濟卻迅速反彈,事後發現當時經濟已經因為半年前的科技泡沫而開始衰退,隨後在911事件兩個月後,這波衰退就結束了。
-bounce back: 反彈
-determine: 確定、查明
-trigger: 作名詞是槍上的板機,動詞則引申為觸發之意
*technology bust: 又名為Dot-com bubble,網路泡沫,從1995年開始至2000年三月到達高點,期間納斯達克指數大漲400%,2000年三月後開始回跌,到2002年十月時將泡沫期間的漲幅全數吐回。
🚀One reason was the aggressive policy response. The day the markets reopened, the Fed and its counterparts in the Eurozone, Canada and Sweden all slashed rates. Low rates inspired auto manufacturers to roll out zero percent financing, sending sales skyrocketing. Fears of terrorism faded when new attacks didn’t materialize.
經濟反彈的主因為積極的政策應對,在市場重啟的那天,聯準會以及歐元區、加拿大與瑞典的央行都紛紛降息,低利率促使汽車製造商推出零利率貸款,因此讓銷量飛昇,後續也沒有新的恐攻發生,民眾因此對恐怖主義的懼怕也逐漸消退。
-slash: 名詞就是斜槓,動詞可以想像就是畫一條斜線,有砍下去的意思,因此搭配rates(利率)就是降息的意思喔!
-roll out: 推出、實施(新的方案等)
skyrocket: 飛向天空的火箭,做動詞用就是有如火箭升空一般,表示迅速飆漲、飛昇
💵Within two weeks Congress approved $40 billion for emergency rebuilding and defense and $5 billion in cash assistance and up to $10 billion in loan guarantees to airlines. Both parties agreed more stimulus was needed but negotiations soon bogged down over its composition. When a package worth $51 billion over one year and $94 billion over five years finally passed in March, a recovery was already well under way.
在兩週內美國國會就通過了400億美元的緊急重建與國防資金、50億美元的現金援助,以及高達100億美元的航空業擔保貸款,當時民主與共和兩黨都同意需要更多的經濟刺激方案,但不久後方案協商即陷入僵局,到了三月才終於通過一年510億的預算以及五年內940億美元的預算,到了此時經濟已進入復甦階段。
-approve: 通過、核可
-bog down: 阻礙、攔阻
-composition: 本為作曲、作文之意,此處為方案的產出

【玳瑚師父佛學論】 《夢不到妳你》
Can't Dream of You (English version below)
人間為何是人間,因還有罣念,有罣念就始終離不開一個情字。依此因緣,就跳不出紅塵,繼續被滾滾紅塵掩埋佛性,虛度光陰,塵勞混成團,想透出頭來也是難。 如此這般狀況,「死睡」者多過於「活睡」者。就算妳你想夢見的對象想給妳你夢,試問妳你又如何夢得到她他呢?
過去早已有多人嚮吾申訴,夢不到她他們欲想夢到的親眷。大多的她他們都想知道其親眷到底在何境界,現在不知過得好不好,等等。有些問過乩童,不是每位都有所要領。有些則嚮米婆求助,同樣不是每位都有所滿意。到底是乩童不靈,米婆不靈,還是...?確實是有不靈的,但有時候問題並不出現在乩童或米婆身上,而是在問事的人身上。
若干年前,就有一位「欠狗債」的妙齡女郎來到吾跟前,嚮吾請教如何才能夢到其愛狗。其狗與吾有一面之緣,因此就教她欲夢其愛狗的方法。這方法是佛所傳授,照理是不可能不成的。吾叫她取來一條五色線,「淨化」後加持密咒,然後清楚地說明用法。可是她不只沒夢著,還做了惡夢。當吾知道此事後,立馬做了一番邏輯性的審查,此女無法圓夢的原因,可分為以下三點。
一;平日的德行不夠。此點吾早已知之甚詳,證人是其家眷。
二;信力不夠。
三;此點甚為重要。那就是不如法。
吾之所以說問題出在此女,那是因為還有一點可證明。她的父親曾向吾求取法寶保佑其弟國外軍訓吉祥平安。吾以類似方法助之。其弟回來後,親口告訴父親,軍隊中有多人出事,但他卻平安回來。其父母歡喜嚮吾答謝。這並不是巧合,當中個人的德行自然地也算在其中。這也為什麼吾一直地苦口婆心,殷勤為妳你們解說,就是希望大家都能夠吉祥如意圓滿啊!
想夢到任何人都是有辦法的。但這方法中自然也必需有前段述之的三個因緣啊!要不然就得視妳你與亡者的頻率而定了。好好努力地學習,將來就不會再哀嘆,「夢不到妳你」了。
--------------------
The human realm exists because of clinging attachments, and most of it got to do with matters of the heart. As a result of these affinities, you are trapped in this never-ending cycle of sufferings, burying your Buddha nature. Your time is wasted and it is hard to break out of the drudgery of life. Under such circumstances, many are just "sleeping dead", and very few are really "awake while sleeping". How would you then be able to dream of the person on your mind even if the other party wishes to enter your dreams?
In the past, many people had complained to me that they could not dream of their deceased relatives. They mostly wanted to know how their deceased relatives were doing, and at which realm they were, etc. Some went to the shamans but not everybody were satisfied with the answers while some consulted the "rice ladies" (mediums) and went away clueless too. Does the problem lie with the shamans, the mediums or...? There are times that such answers are inaccurate and there are times the problem is not due to the shamans or the mediums but the person asking for answers.
Many years ago, there was a young lady who came to me for help. She had a deep karmic debt owed to her deceased pet dog. She wanted to see her pet in her dream and asked me to teach her how. I had a brief affinity with the dog, thus my decision to teach her. The technique was taught by the Buddha and should have worked well. I asked her to bring me a five-coloured thread. After cleansing it, I empowered it with Tantric mantras and taught her how to use it. However, not only did she not dream of her pet, she had nightmares. When I came to know of it, I made a logical deduction. Here are 3 main reasons why the young lady did not get her wish fulfilled.
Firstly, the merits of that person are insufficient. I had known this fact beforehand and it was evident to her family members too.
Secondly, her faith is not enough.
Thirdly, and an important one, the steps in the ritual were not adhered to.
I can offer another proof when I said that the problem lies with the girl. Her father once came to me to ask for a protective charm for her brother who was going overseas for army training. I used a similar technique to assist him. When the son returned home, he told his father that many of comrades had troubles during the mission but he himself managed to return safely. His parents happily thanked me. This is no mere coincidence. The moral conduct of the answer-seeker is a major contributing factor here. That is the reason why I relentlessly and painstakingly explaining to you, hoping that everyone can be auspicious.
There are certainly ways to dream of anyone that you wishes. However you would need to fulfill the three prerequisites as stated earlier in this article. Otherwise, the energy frequencies of the deceased and yourself shall determine the chance of him or her appearing in your dream. Put in the effort to learn and you will no longer be lamenting "I can't dream of you!"

今天一樣跟大家分享很多人喜歡的單字辨析影片,雖然中文翻譯很接近,但是實際上兩個英文字用法卻差很多。
例如恐懼都學過fear還有panic,但你知道他們兩個用的情境不一樣嗎?還有力量也都知道power跟strength,但你知道是兩種不同的力量嗎?
不知道的沒關係~~~~~~看影片你就知道啦!

determine用法 在 [單字] determine的用法- 看板Eng-Class - 批踢踢實業坊 的推薦與評價
版上各位大大好,
最近在看《正確出口說英文》這本書,主要用例句表示錯誤跟正確用法,有一個關於dete
rmin用法的問題想請教各位版友。
錯誤&正確的句子以及說明如下:
[錯誤]
She determines to be the manager someday,...
[正確]
She is determined to be the manager someday,...
[說明]
「下定決心要做某事」通常用 be determined to do表達...;...使用現在簡單式determ
in不妥,因現在簡單式一般用來表達不變的事實。
請問下定決心做某事真的通常是用be determined to V表示嗎?或是因為是現在式的關係
?
之前都沒有注意到這點,都是直接用S + determine to V =口=
感謝好心版友回覆

心to make a strong decision,裡面的例句是主動的[+ to inf.],而按照題目原句的意
思,是不是要用下決心的第二個用法?
