［時事英文］「超前部署 」英文怎麼說？
　
由於最近這個詞出現的頻率很高，所以陸續有同學寫信問我「超前部署」的英文是不是「advanced deployment 」？
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
１、「advanced」意味著在「程度／層次」（level）上是更高等的、更高級的，例如：
　
➣ an advanced English course
　進階英語課程／高階英語課程／高級英語課程（相對於初、中級）
　
➣ advanced learners of English
　進階英語學習者／高階英語學習者／高級英語學習者
　
➣ advanced physics
　高等物理
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
２、「advanced」也可以表示非常現代的、最新的（modern），例如：
　
➣ advanced weapon systems
　先進武器系統
　
➣ advanced technology
　先進技術／前瞻技術
　
➣ high levels of unemployment in advanced industrial societies
　先進工業社會的高失業率
　
詳參：https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/advanced
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
３、若你想表達某事發生在其他事之前，則須用——「in advance (of something)」。例如：
　
➣ I should warn you in advance that I’m not a very good dancer.
　我應該事先告訴你，我不是一位出色的舞者。
　
➣ Many thanks, in advance, for your help.
　在此先感謝您的幫助。
　
➣ The Assembly passed legislation which required organizers of demonstrations to apply three days in advance for government approval.
　議會通過了立法，要求示威的組織者提前三天申請政府批准。
　
詳參：https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/advance
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
４、在中文的語境裡，「超前部署」本為國軍術語，用於軍事上的部署與配置。因今年疫情而輾轉進入公眾視野，也成為公共衛生的防疫語彙。在英文裡，若想表達兵力上的預置，你可以說：
　
➣ the early deployment of troops
　
➣ deploy troops in advance (of something)
　
➣ deploy troops in preparation (of something)
　
➣ deploy troops ahead of something
　
「超前部署」見於國軍「主動防救」的災防思維，國軍採「超前部署、預置兵力、隨時防救」的作法，以因應重大天災對國家安全的威脅。詳參：https://bit.ly/2WuyIXb
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
５、在英文裡，「advanced deployment」雖是慣用語，但多用於計算（computing）以及網路管理（network administration），其中涉及較高階的（higher-level）電腦或系統的安裝過程，以利於真實環境裡的高效作業。
　
詳參：https://bit.ly/3ctnd7T

６、可能有些文章會使用「advance deployment」來作為「超前部署」的英文用法，以表達對流行疫情所採取的準備措施。但在英文裡，這並不是常見的用法：
　
That decision did make inconveniences to passengers and losses to THSRC, but that measure in conjunction with Taiwan's “advance deployment” has indeed effectively reduced the risk of people being over-exposed in mass transportation.
　
詳參：https://yhoo.it/3dHexLq
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
７、「超前部署」雖可置於防疫的語境中，但在英文裡並沒有一個全然相應的用法。而在中文與英文的脈絡下，其所關聯的語意也不盡相同。英語使用者通常會這麼說：
　
❖ 用法Ａ： (early) preventive measures
　
“A contact-tracing app developed in Singapore as a preventive measure against the coronavirus.”

詳參《紐約時報》：https://nyti.ms/3bjfxDT
　
“For the general public, basic preventive measures include keeping a safe distance of 1 to 2 metres, washing hands with soap for 20 seconds or using a hand sanitiser, wearing a face mask if crowded situations cannot be avoided and not touching one’s eyes, nose, and mouth.”

詳參《路透社》：https://reut.rs/3fEMZrK
　
❖ 用法Ｂ：「something＋prevention measures」也頗為常見
　
“Efforts are better spent boosting infection-prevention measures at hospitals.”

詳參《經濟學人》：https://econ.st/2YUoMYu
　
“Vice Premier Chen Chi-Mai shared Taiwan's deployment of big data in our epidemic-prevention measures with two professors visiting from Stanford, C. Jason Wang, director of the Center for Policy, Outcomes and Prevention, and health law scholar Michelle M. Mello.”

詳參中華民國外交部：https://bit.ly/3cnuRk6

“An open letter to Eric Kwok, and for everyone re homophobia, discrimination and bullying”

Dear Eric,

Imagine this. You are one of the contestants on a TV talent show. You are sitting in a room with other hopefuls and one of the judges walks into the room and demanded this: “Raise your hand if you are not homophobic.”

I’m very sure you will raise your hand.

You don’t have to answer me whether or not you really are homophobic. But stay with the feeling inside your mind. How do you feel?

Your feelings are most likely the same as the feelings of your contestants when you walked into a room and asked them to raise their hands to declare their sexual orientation publicly. Because in this day and age, homophobia is just as “controversial” as homosexuality, if not more.

The reason why I’m writing this open letter to you is because after reading your apology, I want to take the opportunity to address to you, and everyone out there, the need for proper etiquette regarding LGBT issues, and to address the forms of micro-aggression, bullying and discrimination the LGBT community faces everyday especially in the workplace.

I’m taking this incident seriously because from my personal experience, this is not just a one-time slip-up for you.

I remember long time ago I was so looking forward to meeting and working with you because you are, after all, Eric Kwok the great songwriter.

You were very friendly when we talked privately. Then I started to notice how once there were audiences, media or other people around and when the cameras were turned on, you would start making insinuating and demeaning gay jokes about me and in front of me. Jokes and comments even my closest friends wouldn’t dare to make in public.

At first, I didn’t really pay too much attention. I just brushed it off as juvenile and trivial. In fact, I had been so used to these jokes since growing up that I learned not to react much.

However, as time progressed and we worked on more occasions, the same thing would happen repeatedly. The teasing and the stereotypical gay jokes continued and you would make sure that the spotlight would fall on me afterwards. The jokes no longer felt light. They felt hostile, even vindictive.

In fact, it felt like bullying.

One of these incidents was well documented in tabloids back then and you can still look it up yourself on the internet.

I came to the realization that it was not just a one-time thing. I don’t know if it’s intentional or unintentional but it’s definitely a habit and a pattern.

So many questions would be in my mind every time after working with you. Why does Eric do that every time? Is he picking on me? Does he hate me? Is he homophobic? Does he think homosexuality is something funny? Does he do this to other people too? Did I do something that pissed him off? I remember I was nothing but courteous. So why do I deserve this?

I had no answers for all of these questions. All I knew was I became fearful of working with you, dreading what words would fall out of your mouth to put me in an awkwardly embarassing position. But still I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt. You’re from California you shouldn’t be homophobic. I even defended you in my head by telling myself to loosen up.

But it’s not just you. Throughout my years in the entertainment industry, I have encountered and endured so many chauvinistic “tough guys” who like to use homosexuality as a laughing stock or source of bad comedy which were all discriminating and demeaning, yet not funny.

It’s not only me. I’m sure many people of the LGBT community face this everyday in their workplace. People around them would claim their intentions were harmless but we all knew deep down that these “jokes” have the power to put people someone in an embarrassing, inferior and even threatening positions.

We kept quiet and tolerated. Sometimes we even felt obligated to laugh along just so we couldn’t afford to look “petty” or “stiff”, especially in front of people of higher authority and stature.

So Eric I want to ask you.

Why have you been so obsessed with my sexuality all these years?

Why are you so fascinated by other people’s sexuality?

Why is being gay such a huge issue to you even to this day that you had to make it the first thing you asked your contestants?

Why you also had to specifically make a post on social media about that fact you questioned people about their sexuality?

Why do you take so much pride publicly in your ability to guess who are the gay contestants even when they weren’t ready to share that information?

And most of all why do you find all this to be so funny?

To begin with one’s sexual orientation is a very personal thing which others have no right to intrude, even in the entertainment industry where you are supposed to be fine with “controversy”.

This is for you and everyone out there: using your power and authority to demand someone to declare his or her sexual orientation, especially in a work environment, is ancient, barbaric and unacceptable.

Kicking someone out of the closet is just pure evil.

The fact you did what you did, especially with your stature and on broadcast TV, is not only wrong, but also you are telling the Hong Kong audience that it’s alright to continue this form of intrusion and micro aggression that the LGBT community wants to see gone.

You’re leading a very poor example by giving Hong Kong audience the impression that being gay is still a taboo.

How are your contestants, who are boys of young age, going to offer new perspectives to the Hong Kong audience under your guidance if you perpetuate stereotyping and demonstrate to them that being gay is still an issue?

I feel sorry for any contestants who are in fact gay sitting in that room that day too. They must have been traumatized seeing the way you forced your inquisition. The impression you left them with is that the entertainment industry is still a very unfriendly place for gays. Is that what you want them to think?

But most of all, it’s the attitude, tone and manner with which you shared about this incident on social media, giving people the impression that any matter regarding sexual orientation is still something shameful and laughable, which is on top of list the thing that the LGBT community fights hard everyday to change.

When you said in your apology you “have great respect for gay people, especially their hard fight for equality” I became baffled as what you did, in the past to me or in that room to the boys, is the exact thing that makes the LGBT community’s ongoing fight for equality so difficult.

Putting people down, perpetuate stereotypes, heckling and ridiculing yet making it look OK is anything but liberal and respectful, or Californian. I don’t see any “entertainment values” that are of good taste if they are made up at the expense of other people’s struggle.

If this incident happened in America, where you grew up, you would’ve gotten yourself in such hot waters that you probably can’t get out of.

I just want you and everyone out there to know that it’s not okay. And it never was. Never will be.

Being “as liberal as it gets” is great. Having gay friends is great too. Having dinner with your gay friends is absolutely fabulous! Playing all these cards to avoid being labelled as “homophobic” is very convenient. But having class, empathy, kindness and authentic respect is a completely different territory. These don’t come automatically with backgrounds.

At this point you don’t owe me an apology. I just hope that after this incident you can really start working and living with the essences of a truly liberal and creative individual. Inspire changes and end stereotypes. Start new trends and break old patterns. Embrace and not segregate. Do the work.

I had been away from Hong Kong and the industry for a few years now. It breaks me heart that I have to write this sort of open letter when it’s already 2018. I want to make this industry a safer, nicer and more accepting place to work in when I return. I want members of the LGBT community in Hong Kong, who have been so supportive of me and my music, to also have safer and nicer working environment in their respective lives.

I don’t mind coming off as an over-reacting petty bitch with no sense of humour if my message finally comes through and everyone, including you, “gets it”. I rather have no sense of humour than a bad one.

To all the contestants of the show. If anyone ever asks you if you are gay and you are not ready to discuss, it’s OK to stand up for yourself and say this: “It’s a rude question to begin with. You have no right to get an answer from me to begin with. And it doesn’t matter. It SHOULDN’T matter. It’s 2018. I hope one day I can use my craft to inspire the world and to make this become a non-issue.”

But if you are ready to be open, you have my complete support and love.

Let’s hope that through acceptance, learning and effort, one day there will no longer be any “controversial questions”. Wouldn’t we like that Eric?

Yours truly,
Pong
