Any village. Any beach. Even a church. You’re likely to see a basketball jersey. 在菲律賓隨便去到哪個街角,哪個村落,哪個海灘,甚至哪個教堂,你應該都會看到籃球衣。 “It’s often described as a religion,” Carlo Roy Singson, managing director of NBA Philippines, said in an interview. 美國國家籃球協會(NBA)菲律賓分會總監辛松受訪時說:「大家常說,籃球就是菲律賓人的宗教。」 Indeed, basketball is ingrained in Filipino culture and has been for more than a century. The sport’s permeation of a country of about 105 million began in the late 1800s, when Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States in 1898 after the Spanish-American War. 的確,籃球在菲律賓文化扎根已超過一個世紀。 籃球於19世紀末傳入這個目前有一億零五百萬人口的國家,終至遍布每個角落。1898年西班牙在美西戰爭中戰敗,把菲律賓割讓給美國。 A large facet of the introduction of the fledgling game was Christian missionaries, who were part of the YMCA, or Young Men’s Christian Association. The game’s inventor, Dr. James Naismith, conceived of the sport at what was then known as the International YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts. 籃球這個新興運動傳入菲律賓,很大一部分是靠基督教傳教士,這些傳教士是基督教國際社會服務團體「基督教青年會」(YMCA)的成員。籃球發明人奈史密斯博士就是在美國麻州春田市當時名為「國際YMCA訓練學校」的地方,想出籃球這種運動。 To take a round object and throw it into a peach hoop, as Naismith pictured it, could be a character-building endeavor. Soon after he invented it, missionaries began spreading it around the world, particularly in the Far East and the Philippines, in U.S.-controlled areas — a kind of sports imperialism. 奈史密斯設想,拿起一個球形物並將它丟進一個桃木筐,這種努力過程可以培養品格。在他發明籃球後不久,傳教士開始把這種運動傳布到世界各地,尤其是美國控制的遠東地區和菲律賓,算是一種運動殖民。 The NBA and its players, recognizing the sport’s popularity in the Philippines, have invested time there in recent years. In 2013, the Houston Rockets and the Indiana Pacers played a preseason game there. According to a spokesman for the league, the NBA’s Facebook page has 7.3 million followers from the Philippines, the largest of any country outside of the United States. NBA及其運動員認識到籃球在菲律賓大受歡迎,近年在菲律賓投入許多時間。2013年,休士頓火箭隊和印第安納溜馬隊在菲律賓打了場季前賽。根據NBA發言人的說法,NBA臉書專頁有730萬名粉絲來自菲律賓,菲律賓是美國之外最大的粉絲來源國。 This all began in the early 1900s, when basketball was introduced into schools in the Philippines. In 1913, the first Far Eastern Championship Games — an early version of what is now known as the Asian Games — took place in Manila, featuring several East Asian countries taking part in Olympics-style competitions, including basketball. 這一切全始於20世紀初,當時籃球傳入菲律賓各級學校。1913年,亞洲運動會前身、第一屆遠東運動會在馬尼拉舉行,幾個東亞國家參與奧運式的競賽,包括籃球。 It was the first of 10 biennial events, before disagreements between the countries disbanded the games. The Philippines won gold in nine of them. 遠東運動會兩年一次,總共辦過十次,後來因為各國意見不合而停辦。菲律賓在其中九次贏得籃球金牌。 The country’s population took to the sport en masse. In 1936, its national team made the Olympics and finished fifth. At the 1954 FIBA World Championship, the Philippines won a bronze medal, the best finish for an Asian country. 菲律賓舉國上下都愛上籃球。1936年,菲律賓國家隊打進奧運並拿下第五名。在1954年世界杯男籃錦標賽中,菲律賓贏得銅牌,寫下亞洲國家最佳成績。 Two decades later, in 1975, the Philippine Basketball Association, Asia’s first basketball league, was created. These games kept the sport at the forefront of Filipino culture and helped grow interest throughout the 20th century. 20年後,1975年,菲律賓職業籃球聯賽開打,是亞洲第一個職業籃球聯賽。這些比賽讓籃球處在菲律賓文化的重要位置,並在整個20...

Oh I'd love to see you but I'm sorry I'm going to Kaohsiung this afternoon!』旅行盾、尿盾什麼都來!」 阿鍵老師也說:「Budget會比較緊一點!」 🏮 Chinese New Year vs Lunar New Year 阿鍵老師:「英文的New Year wishes在農曆新年也有講一些吉祥話,但比較多是在元旦1月1號。」 名稱演變:以前:Chinese New Year (CNY)現在:Lunar New Year為什麼改變? John老師解釋:「有些人不覺得自己是Chinese,但也celebrate這個節日。像越南算一個很大有在慶祝農曆年的國家。很多follow農曆的國家和人,所以漸漸變成Lunar New Year。」 🎊 廣東版 vs 國語版祝福語 經典廣東版:Gong Hei Fat Choy(恭喜發財) 阿鍵老師:「我在英國的時候他們都講這句,但這兩年好像慢慢變成國語版的『恭喜發財』越來越多人講!」 John老師:「因為最早開唐人街的都是廣東裔,他們最早移民、最早接觸海外,所以有這種influence。」 外國人的困惑: 「外國人不懂為什麼『恭喜發財』是a thing, something you say很重要。他們可能用別的表達方式。還有『恭喜恭喜』,他們也不太懂恭喜什麼東西?因為恭喜我們就講congratulations!」 阿鍵老師:「其實應該是well-being的感覺,但well-being好難翻譯!」 🎯 現代英文祝福語:不要硬翻! 老派硬翻(別這樣用):恭喜發財 → Congratulations on your fortune and prosperity (What the...這個他們會不知道你在說什麼!)馬到成功 → Horse come you good (最糟糕的Google Translate!)John老師:「外國人就顯得比較囉嗦!『恭喜發財』四個字,結果要『Wishing you prosperity and success in the year ahead』,那為什麼不能prosperity only呢?」 正確的家庭祝福:Happy Lunar New YearWish you a prosperous and happy new yearWish you prosperity and success in the year 🐴 生肖祝福語:文化差異大挑戰 今年是馬年,一定會講「馬到成功」! John老師:「英文怎麼翻?沒得翻!真的不知道怎麼講!Horse come you good!」 「你去跟外國人講馬到成功,他會想:是他沒有馬嗎?他家沒有坐騎嗎?」😂 其他諧音梗的困境: 大吉大利(橘子): 阿鍵老師:「我們會用橘子(Orange or Tangerine)來當代表,但他們不懂為什麼。Good orange good life?」 旺來(鳳梨): John老師提到去年爬英音樂節拜鳳梨,Alex看到就問:「Why is the pineapple an offering?」 「而且還不是所有occasion都可以用!在醫院裡面不能用pineapple,會被打死!」 結論:很多諧音梗非常不適合被翻譯! 💼 職場祝福語:安全第一原則 阿鍵老師問:「有沒有什麼比較適合職場上用來祝福的?工作順利、事事順心之類的?」 ❌ 不能用的: John老師:「Wish you a good bonus!這個超級實際!但不行!外國人對salary ...

    大家平常追劇或嘴饞時,手邊會是什麼零食呢?本週的《英語咖啡館》John 和 Patrick 老師要來聊聊大家最愛的罪惡零食:Lay's 樂事。你知道嗎?這個隨處可見的品牌其實快一百歲了,而且它跟我們小時候記憶中的「波卡」有著前世今生的關係!

    就在2025年,樂事官方決定更改Logo和Slogan,而且原因讓我們兩位大感意外!另外,世界各國都可以看到類似樂事的洋芋片包裝,難道是盜版嗎?這背後其實牽涉到一場橫跨全球的商業佈局,而且跟百事可樂公司有關喔。

    What snacks do you usually have on hand when binge-watching shows or feeling peckish? This week on "English Cafe," John and Patrick discuss everyone's favorite guilty pleasure snack: Lay's. Did you know? This ubiquitous brand is actually almost 100 years old, and it has a past-life connection with "Poca" from our childhood memories!

    In 2025, Lay's officially decided to change its logo and slogan, and the reason surprised both of us! Additionally, you can see similar Lay's chip packaging in countries around the world—are they knockoffs? Behind this is actually a global business strategy that involves PepsiCo.

L144: Taiwan's 2026 Border Bans & Fines Highlights 主題摘要Travelers are strictly limited to 36 bottles of non-prescription drugs.Taiwan has removed the green channel and scans all luggage now.Carrying banned meat products can result in a one million NT dollar fine. Starting in 2026, travelers entering Taiwan face a significantly stricter border control environment designed to protect the island's biosecurity. The government has officially eliminated the convenient "green channel" at international airports, marking a major shift in customs protocol. Previously, passengers with nothing to declare could bypass detailed checks, but rising concerns over African Swine Fever have forced authorities to tighten the net. This policy change ensures that every piece of luggage, regardless of the passenger's origin, undergoes a mandatory X-ray scan or manual inspection upon arrival. 自2026年起,入境台灣的旅客將面臨更加嚴格的邊境管制,以確保國門生物安全滴水不漏。政府已正式宣布取消國際機場便利的「免檢疫綠色通道」,此舉標誌著海關查驗程序的重大變革。過去,無須申報的旅客可直接略過詳細檢查快速通關,但隨著防堵非洲豬瘟的壓力日益嚴峻,當局決定全面收緊防疫網。這項政策意味著,無論旅客來自哪個國家,其所有行李在抵達時,一律必須接受強制的X光機掃描或開箱查驗。 This universal screening aims to intercept high-risk prohibited items before they enter the local market. Travelers must be extremely vigilant about carrying meat products, fresh fruits, and uncertified plants, as these categories trigger the harshest penalties. Even a seemingly harmless ham sandwich or a bag of fruit can result in an immediate fine of one million NT dollars. While processed seafood and certain dried goods remain permissible under specific conditions, the authorities advise passengers to declare any doubtful items to avoid accidental violations and costly delays. 全面篩檢旨在高風險違禁品流入國內市場前予以攔截。旅客對於攜帶肉類製品、新鮮蔬果及未經檢疫的植物必須提高警覺,這些類別的物品一旦違規將面臨最嚴厲的處罰。即便只是一個看似無害的火腿三明治或一袋水果,都可能導致最高新台幣一百萬元的鉅額罰款。雖然符合特定條件的加工海鮮與部分乾貨仍可攜帶入境,但海關當局強烈建議,若對物品屬性有任何疑慮,應主動申報,以免誤觸法網並造成通關延誤。 Beyond agricultural restrictions, popular Japanese drug store items are subject to precise quantity limitations that frequently confuse tourists. For non-prescription drugs like EVE painkillers or Alinamin vitamin supplements, an individual is permitted to carry up to twelve bottles of a single brand, with a combined total of thirty-six bottles. This quota also applies to dietary supplements in tablet or capsule form. Exceeding these allowances without proper medical documentation implies commercial intent, which could lead to confiscation of the excess goods by vigilant customs officers. 除了農產品禁令,國人赴日必買的熱門藥妝商品,也受制於常讓遊客混淆的限量規定。針對EVE止痛藥或合利他命等非處方藥,每位旅客單一品牌最多僅能攜帶12瓶,且所有非處方藥合計不得超過36瓶。此額度同樣適用於錠狀或膠囊狀的保健食品。若在缺乏適當醫療文件的情況下超量攜帶,將被視為具有商業販售意圖,並可能導致過量商品遭警覺的海關人員沒收。 The regulations extend to medical devices and prescription medications, such as ...

(南韓)幼兒園和小學學生的在職父母,正再次努力尋找合適的育兒選項。因為首都圈的所有學校,均已被通令將課程改為線上,直到9月11日。 Although the measure was in response to the recent surge in the number of infections among students, teachers and other education workers, remote learning poses a burden to working parents as younger children are less likely to stay focused on lectures for a longer time. 儘管這些措施旨在因應最近在學生、教師與其他教育工作者中,感染人數激增的疫情,但遠距學習對在職父母造成負擔,因為較年幼的孩童,比較不可能長時間專注於課程。 The only option for working parents is sending their children to "emergency child care" classes, set up at schools for kindergarteners and younger elementary students who are in need of care during the day. 在職父母的唯一選項,是將他們的小孩送到「緊急托兒」班,學校的緊急托兒班是為了有日間照顧需求的幼兒園生及低年級小學生而設。 Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1410043 ; https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1396438 Next Article Topic: The New, Hip Co-Working Spaces Technology has upended where we work.

As a result, there's a new class of white-collar workers who roam the earth looking for places to get their jobs done. 科技顛覆了我們工作的場所。工作與玩樂之間的界線模糊了,辦公室和家的區別也幾乎消失了。 因此,出現了新一類的白領工作者,他們在地球上四處遊走,尋找完成他們工作的地方。 Some of them work from home, curled up on the couch or in a home office — maybe with a drone hovering nearby. Others camp out at expensive cafes, refilling their mugs of fancy coffee throughout the day. But increasingly, these untethered employees are gathering in a new kind of office known as the co-working space. 他們當中有些人在家工作,蜷縮在沙發上或是家庭辦公室裡,或許還有架無人機在附近盤旋。其他人則是在昂貴的咖啡店內紮營,整天將他們的昂貴咖啡不斷續杯。 然而,這些不受束縛的員工正聚集在一種被稱為共同工作空間的新的辦公室,而且此風日盛。 Surely, you've heard of these places. But their numbers have multiplied across the country in the past few years, filling a niche for those who need more than a cafe but less than an office. They now come in a wide range of options.

John老師解釋:「從物理性來講,我們自己發聲時聽到的聲音是骨傳導,從體內聽到的,不是從耳朵聽到的!所以對著麥克風錄出來再playback,跟我們體內聽到的聲音不太一樣!」 需要習慣多久? John老師:「50集左右!」 阿鍵老師驚訝:「John老師的50集很快,我的50集大概是一年!你50集大概一個月兩個月就到了!」(當初日更時代) John老師坦白:「其實不是習慣,是根本無視了!I start to ignore my own voice or how different it is。慢慢就比較在意voice control——我發聲出去有沒有控制力,而不是在意聲音有沒有磁性、像不像radio voice。那個都是其次了!」 真正要在意的是:咬字有沒有清楚Playback時能不能想像自己嘴巴張開的樣子聲音裡面有沒有帶表情 大概總共within a month, over three hours of content,三個小時左右的錄音時間就會習慣了! 📱 Language Learning的Recording Benefits John老師:「Recording yourself has a lot of benefits!在台灣我們都做silent reading(默讀),但還有一種方式:record yourself!」 具體做法:Take a couple of lines(挑幾行)Record yourself(錄下自己)Play it back(播放回聽)Check your own work(檢查自己的表現)這樣可以double check和review你的Reading Out Loud到底做到心中的幾分! 🎥 要不要錄影? 阿鍵老師建議:「如果要做的話,可以連夸張的嘴型一起錄!用錄影的,這樣可以連嘴巴的形狀跟聲音一起錄下來!」 John老師:「如果沒有camera shy(鏡頭恐懼)當然沒問題!如果camera shy就先從recording開始。」 阿鍵老師:「Camera shy的話你要一次面對兩個挑戰:聽自己的聲音,還要面對自己的臉!」 John老師:「就好像照鏡子有點害羞,沒有那麼自恃!照久了要慢慢習慣!」 💡 Recording的三大好處 好處1:發現困難點 阿鍵老師:「你會很容易發現自己在哪些地方有困難點,下次就知道要在哪個地方多小心、放慢速度或加強!」 當你遇到比較難發音的字,或某個paragraph念Reading Out Loud有困難,把它錄下來會很明顯! 好處2:Compare Playbacks(比較錄音) John老師:「我們國際時事跟讀單元,John老師已經念好一種版本,你拿這個文稿自己做Reading Out Loud exercise,自己錄自己,然後兩個recording做comparison(比較)!」 可以清楚抓到細節:John老師在這邊念怎麼會有pause(停頓)怎麼會有intonation的change(語調變化)哪個地方比較快、哪個地方比較慢哪個地方比較高、比較低阿鍵老師:「這就有點像我們上次提到英文比較像rhyming(有韻律感),用playback的時候就可以聽得出來句子的節奏!」 好處3:培養細節敏感度 John老師用咖啡比喻:「就像我們煮兩杯咖啡來比較哪一杯比較好喝、喜歡哪種豆的風味。有了comparison以後,對細節的敏感度會非常非常好!」 阿鍵老師:「你同時要練的部分蠻多的:耳朵的聽覺反應、嘴巴的肌肉,...
