[時事英文] 美國是香港抗議「幕後黑手」?
Jenny Lee marched with a friend through the streets of Hong Kong, hoisting an American flag over her shoulder. “We hold this to tell the world that we want democracy and freedom,” she explained.
1. march through 遊行穿過
2. hoist...over her shoulder 她肩上扛著...
3. democracy and freedom 民主與自由
珍妮·李和一個朋友在香港的街道遊行時,肩上扛著一面美國國旗。「我們舉這面旗是為了告訴全世界,我們要民主自由,」她這樣解釋道。
請務必參考文章下方的各種觀點!
★★★★★★★★★★★★
The authorities in China, however, are holding up those kinds of gestures as evidence of what Chinese officials portray as an American campaign to orchestrate the protests that have roiled Hong Kong for almost three months.
4. hold...up as... 把...當作...的一個例子*
5. evidence of 的證據
6. portray as 描述為
7. campaign (v.) to 策劃; 從事...活動
8. orchestrate an protest 策劃抗議活動
但中國當局正在把這種表示作為中國官員所謂美國策劃香港抗議活動的證據。抗議活動已讓香港陷入混亂狀態近三個月了。
*https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/hold-up-as
★★★★★★★★★★★★
China’s increasingly caustic accusations against the United States — in state media and official statements — reflect a deepening conviction that support for democratic rights in Hong Kong is part of a broader effort to undermine the Communist Party.
9. caustic accusations 尖刻的指責
10. state media 官方媒體
11. a deepening conviction 日益強烈的信念
12. a part of a broader effort to... 廣泛努力...的一部分
13. undermine(常指逐漸地)削弱信心、權威等
中國在官方媒體和官方聲明中對美國的指責越來越尖刻,這反映出中國有一個日益強烈的信念,那就是對香港民主權利的支持是削弱共產黨的更廣泛努力的一部分。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
There has been no concrete evidence that the protests are anything but what demonstrators say they are: a largely leaderless upwelling of frustration and resistance to the mainland’s encroaching control of Hong Kong’s affairs. But Chinese officials now point to a pattern of American actions that they say amounts to foreign interference, even collusion.
14. no concrete evidence 沒有具體證據
15. a leaderless resistance 無人領導的反抗
16. encroaching control 侵犯的控制
17. foreign interference 外國干預
18. collusion (n.) 串通
目前還沒有具體證據表明,抗議活動與示威者的說法有任何不同:抗議活動基本無人領導,主要誘因是當地人的不滿和對大陸侵犯香港事務的抵制情緒。但中國官員現在把美國人做的一些事情說成是外國干預,甚至是串通。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Some of the accusations amount to little more than crude disinformation, but others are grounded in just enough fact to spin a conspiracy theory of covert American nefariousness, intended to loosen the Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s authoritarian grip on power.
19. amount to 等於;意味著
20. crude disinformation 粗製的虛假信息
21. be grounded in enough facts 有夠用的事實根據
22. a conspiracy theory 一個陰謀論
23. covert 暗中的
24. be intend to 目的是
25. authoritarian grip 威權控制
有些指控不過是粗製濫造的虛假信息,但有一些指控的背後剛好有夠用的事實根據,足以編造一個陰謀論,即美國在暗中進行罪惡活動,目的是破壞中國領導人習近平對權力的威權控制。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
China’s liaison office in Hong Kong on Monday, for example, vehemently denounced a relatively mild, bipartisan statement by the chairman and a ranking member of the House Foreign Relations Committee, Eliot Engel of New York and Michael McCaul of Texas, that expressed support for the protests and called on both sides “to refrain from violence and seek a peaceful accommodation.”
26. liaison office 聯絡辦公室
27. vehemently denounce 強烈譴責
28. a mild bipartisan statement 一份溫和的兩黨聲明
29. refrain from violence 避免暴力
30. seek a peaceful accommodation 尋求一個和平的解決方案
舉例而言,中國駐香港聯絡辦公室(簡稱中聯辦)週一強烈譴責了美國國會一份措辭相當溫和的兩黨聲明,聲明是眾議院外交關係委員會主席和資深成員紐約州的艾略特·恩格爾(Eliot Engel)和得克薩斯州的麥可·麥考爾(Michael McCaul)聯名發表的。聲明對抗議活動表示了支持,同時呼籲雙方「避免暴力,尋求一個和平的解決方案」。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
A spokesman for the Chinese office replied in a statement that the two men, Democrat and Republican respectively, “have ignored the facts, turned black into white, harbored evil intentions and nakedly interfered in Hong Kong affairs and China’s internal affairs.”
31. ignore the facts 無視事實
32. turn black into white 顛倒黑白
33. harbor evil intentions 包藏禍心
34. interfere in Internal affairs 干涉內政
中聯辦發言人在一份回應聲明中稱,這兩名分別屬於民主黨和和共和黨的議員「無視事實,顛倒黑白,包藏禍心,赤裸裸地干涉香港事務和中國內政」。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
On the streets, Hong Kong’s protesters have mocked China’s accusations, saying they were intended to belittle their grievances.
35. mock…accusations 嘲笑…的指控
36. belittle their grievances 貶低他們的的不滿
香港街頭的抗議者嘲笑中國的指控,稱那是為了貶低香港人的不滿。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Phoebe Chan, who accompanied her American flag-carrying friend, Jenny Lee, ridiculed Chinese media reports that protesters were being paid to participate. “We are coming out on our own,” she said.
37. be paid to participate 被付錢來參加
38. come on our own 自願來
與舉著美國國旗的朋友珍妮·李(Jenny Lee)一起走上街頭的菲比·陳(Phoebe Chan)針對中國媒體關於抗議者拿錢參加抗議活動的報導說「我們都是自願來的,」。

grounded theory 在 Lee388 Hi Fi 發燒專頁 Facebook 的最佳解答
Alumine Five of Stenheim
Stenheim is a relatively late entrant to the high-end speaker field. It was founded in 2010 by a collective of mainly ex-Goldmund engineers, and its products have inherited an unmistakable aesthetic and, to a lesser extent, sonic DNA, although it was a significantly evolved character that was to emerge in the shape of the debut model, the compact, two-way Alumine Two. It’s a developmental divergence that has continued and, if anything, accelerated with the emergence of each subsequent product. The latest Stenheim speakers, developed under the auspices of new owner Jean-Pascal Panchard, definitely have their own, unambiguous identity, both visually and musically.
I’ve been seriously looking forward to the arrival of the Alumine Five. Previous experience with the brand has included impressive exposure to the various versions of the enormous and enormously impressive Ultime Reference models, as well as a brief but highly rewarding flirtation with the stand-mounted Alumine Two in my own system. The possibility of combining the sense of musical articulation, enthusiasm and communication I experienced from the Alumine Two, with more than a hint of the clarity, scale and authority so effortlessly delivered by the Reference models, all in a package that, if not exactly affordable, at least isn’t completely out of the question, makes the Alumine Five a distinctly interesting proposition.
Yet, confronted with the Alumine Five in the flesh, there’s little to hint at the extraordinary promise lurking within. Resolutely rectangular in true Stenheim style, the Five’s aluminum cabinet, with its plate-to-plate construction, stands just 48" tall, 15" deep and presents a broad 11" face to the world, dimensions based on golden-ratio numbers. The front baffle is split by a physical break between the upper midrange-treble enclosure and the lower bass cabinet, independently ported by the laminated full-width slots above and below, a physical separation that is mirrored by the contrasting inlaid strips that help visually break up the one-piece side panels. The regular lines, smooth surfaces, flawless matte finish and lack of visible fixings could easily result in a bland, almost featureless appearance. But those trim strips and the offset midrange and treble drivers do just enough to give the Five a subtle hint of individual style without resorting to the sort of gauche and ostentatious flourishes that so often pass as design.
The result is a refreshingly clean, classical appearance that will blend seamlessly with a range of different decors. Despite the lack of grilles (although they are available as an option, does anybody really spend this kind of money on a speaker and then compromise the performance by fitting covers?), the beautifully profiled baffle and absence of visible fixings makes for a genuinely neat, finished appearance that matches the superb surface finish on the cabinet. The end result just looks right, in a way that makes you wonder why you’d want grilles anyway.
The first hint of its potent sonic capabilities comes when you try to pick it up. Each comparatively compact cabinet tips the scales at 220 pounds. That’s a grunt-inducing, two-man lift. Now, take a look at the figures for bandwidth and sensitivity, and an in-room response that digs down as far as 28Hz combined with 94dB efficiency should raise your eyebrows, especially given the compact cabinet dimensions. Which brings us to the first experiential disconnect: boxes this size shouldn’t produce this much bass or do it so easily. Nor should they weigh so much -- although therein lies the clue to this particular conundrum. When it comes to bass extension, it’s not the external dimensions of the box that matter, but its internal volume. Just like the Crystal Cable Minissimo, a thin-wall cabinet makes for a much larger internal volume than the external dimensions might suggest -- especially if we apply the expectations of more conventional wood-based construction. Throw in the sheer weight of the aluminum panels and the combination of mass and physical dimensions would subconsciously suggest massively thick walls -- and a correspondingly limited internal volume. Instead, what we have here is a deceptively large volume, which, combined with the inertia of the heavy cabinet and the mechanical stability provided by the material, makes for an effective mechanical reference for driver movement, meaning that more of the energy your amplifier sticks into the speaker comes out as sound and (at least in theory) it will be more precisely rendered.
So far, not very much that’s new. It’s not like Stenheim (or Magico, or YG Acoustics) has exclusivity when it comes to aluminum cabinets. But what does make Stenheim different is the unique material they use in damping their cabinet panels. Of course, the separate enclosures and the internal baffles they demand make for an inherently heavily braced structure, but look inside a dismantled Alumine Five and you’ll find strategically placed pads stuck to the cabinet walls. These three-layer, self-adhesive pads combine a heavy damping layer (adjacent to the cabinet wall itself) with added foam and impervious layers, allowing the low-volume pads to influence both the mechanical behavior of the cabinet itself and the enclosed volume. It’s an interesting solution because it manages to overcome the weakness so often audible in simple, braced aluminum cabinets (the all-too-recognizable resonant signature of the material itself) while maximizing the benefits (large volume and rigidity) by obviating the need to stuff the internal space full of wadding or long-haired wool. In fact, if the Stenheims were stood behind a sonically transparent curtain, you’d be hard-pressed to recognize the music as emanating from an aluminum cabinet at all. The absence of the bleached, grainy or lean colorations, the lack of sterile, mechanistic reproduction, is one big half of the Stenheim story, living, breathing proof that it’s not what you use but how you use it that counts.
The other half is down to the drive units, and after the cabinets, those come as quite a surprise, both the lineup and the chosen materials. In stark contrast to the use of the latest, precision CNC techniques, complex damping pads and finishing options, the Alumine Five's drivers are as traditional as they come, with a coated silk-dome tweeter and pulp or laminated paper midrange and bass drivers. The cone drivers use textile double-roll surrounds and massive magnets more normally found in pro-audio applications, and while Stenheim doesn’t build its own drivers, the company works closely with its chosen supplier (PHL, definitely not one of the usual suspects) to specify the electrical parameters, mechanical characteristics and precise details of the surface coating.
The use of such lightweight cone materials and large motors aids the system efficiency, while a hybrid second-order/Linkwitz-Riley crossover, the result of extended listening and evolution, ensures phase coherence and excellent out-of-band attenuation and makes for easy non-reactive load characteristics, despite the three-way topology. The other aspect of the driver lineup that might be considered slightly unusual is the use of a large-diameter (6 1/2") midrange unit -- although less so since Vandersteen’s patent on the approach lapsed some years ago, resulting in a rash of companies suddenly exploring the possibilities of the topology.
Perhaps more important, in the case of the Alumine Five, it means that you are getting the tweeter and midrange drivers from the Ultime Reference series speakers, teamed here with a pair of 10" woofers but without the benefit of a super tweeter. Even so, Stenheim quotes bandwidth out to 35kHz, which should suffice for most purposes. The review speakers arrived with the optional second set of terminals installed, allowing for biwiring or, more significantly, biamping, an upgrade opportunity that makes this an option you should take. If, in the meantime, you are single-wiring the speakers, make sure you factor in a set of jumpers that match your speaker cables: the Alumine Five's overall sense of musical coherence makes the benefits especially obvious. Likewise, good wiring practice is essential, both in terms of cable dressing and diagonal connection (red to midrange/treble, black to bass, with jumpers arranged accordingly).
Aside from the speaker's substantial weight, the parallel sides and flat surfaces of the four-square cabinet make setting up the Fives an absolute joy. Precise, repeatable, angular adjustments are easily achieved, while changes in attitude are just as straightforward, helped by the beautifully profiled stainless-steel spiked feet and deeply cupped footers. Both the cones and their locking rings have nice, large ports to take the supplied pry bars, but it’s worth greasing the threads before installation. One other thing to watch out for: the spikes are seriously (refreshingly) sharp -- sharp enough to penetrate a thick rug and score the floor below, so be careful where you stand the speakers once the feet are installed. Final positioning disposed the speakers on a broad front with minimal toe-in. When it came to dialing in their considerable musical energy, the most critical factor proved to be height off the ground, with tiny adjustments of the spikes making profound differences to the weight and pace of the presentation. Likewise, equal weighting of the four spikes was crucial to a proper sense of grounded weight and dynamic authority.
