【《天能TENET》片名的秘密？
無爆雷！超燒腦的英文回文大解析】

有人跟我一樣衝首日去看《天能》嗎？😆

今天跟老哥Wesley去看IMAX版天能
雖然很可惜我錯過了電影開場
但不影響整體的娛樂感
而且諾蘭這次的動作戲很強！
拍攝執行也很厲害⋯⋯

但因為多數人應該還沒看過
所以這次便先不聊電影
來聊聊電影片名的語言趣味

-

《天能》的英文片名「TENET」
正讀反讀都一樣
也就是所謂的「回文」Palindrome
（亦作迴文）

英文還有很多回文單字：
前夕 eve
層次 level
中午 noon
雷達 radar
女士 madam
賽車 racecar
謀殺 murdrum

-

其實不只單字，句子也能呈現回文：
“Was it a rat I saw?”
“Never odd or even.”
“Do geese see God?”
“A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!”

倒著唸還真的發音都一樣！
是不是超有趣的呢？

“Is it crazy how saying sentences
backwards creates backwards
sentences saying how crazy it is?”

-

甚至還有人創作一長串的回文詩：

"Dammit I'm Mad" by Demetri Martin

Dammit I'm mad.
Evil is a deed as I live.
God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.
To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.
Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?
Man, it is hot. I'm in it. I tell.
I am not a devil. I level "Mad Dog".
Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,
In my halo of a mired rum tin.
I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.
Is evil in a clam? In a trap?
No. It is open. On it I was stuck.
Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.
Be still if I fill its ebb.
Ew, a spider… eh?
We sleep. Oh no!
Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.
Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.
Both, one… my names are in it.
Murder? I'm a fool.
A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash,
A Goddam level I lived at.
On mail let it in. I'm it.
Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!
A loss it is alas (sip). I'd assign it a name.
Name not one bottle minus an ode by me:
"Sir, I deliver. I'm a dog"
Evil is a deed as I live.
Dammit I'm mad.

看完後覺得超級燒腦，只能說：

WOW
（⬆️最適合回文的回文反應😂）

［時事英文］金與正的崛起

It appears that Ms. Kim will continue to hold South Korea __________.

Close? Dear? 想知道答案的同學請留言。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

《紐約時報》報導:

Since last week, North Korea’s state news media has depicted Kim Yo-jong as the orchestrator of a rapid-fire series of statements and moves that have raised tensions on the Korean Peninsula. On Tuesday, the North blew up the inter-Korean liaison office in the border city of Kaesong, and a day later, the North Korean military threatened to resume drills along the disputed western sea border with the South.

1. state media 國家媒體
2. depict someone as… 把把某人描述為…
3. the orchestrator of… 的策劃者
4. rapid-fire 連珠炮般的，一個接一個的，接二連三的
5. a series of… 一系列的
6. raise tensions 加劇緊張態勢
7. the Korean peninsula 朝鮮半島
8. blow up 炸掉了
9. liaison office 聯絡辦公室
10. resume 恢復
11. military drills 軍事演習
12. disputed 有爭議的

上週以來，朝鮮國家新聞媒體將金與正描述為一系列連珠炮似的聲明和行動的策劃者，這些聲明和行動加劇了朝鮮半島的緊張態勢。週二，朝鮮炸掉了邊界城市開城的朝韓聯絡辦公室，一天後，朝鮮軍隊威脅要恢復在與韓國有爭議的西海岸邊境的軍事演習。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

The North’s sudden turn toward animosity with the South — and, by extension, the United States — may reflect a desire to unify the country in the face of an economy further hobbled by the coronavirus pandemic and of a deepening need to push for concessions on international sanctions, said Leif-Eric Easley, a professor of international studies at Ewha Womans University in Seoul.

13. sudden turn toward 突然轉向
14. animosity 仇恨；敵意；憎惡
15. by extension 因此，因而*
16. reflect a desire to… 反映出…的願望
17. unify the country 團結全國
18. be hobbled by 被...約束，限制; 被...絆倒
19. the coronavirus pandemic 新冠疫情; pandemic 大流行病
20. push for sth 反覆呼籲；努力爭取
21. concession（常指為結束爭端而作出的）認可，讓步，妥協
22. international sanctions 國際制裁
23. international studies 國際研究

朝鮮突然與韓國反目為仇——同時波及美國——可能反映了朝鮮在新冠疫情導致經濟更加艱難的情形下團結全國的願望，以及推動國際制裁讓步的深層需求。首爾梨花女子大學(Ewha Womans University)國際研究教授李雷夫(Leif Eric Easley)說。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

Whatever the motivation behind the growing tension, it has made one thing clear: Ms. Kim’s consolidation of her position as the true No. 2 in her brother’s government, said Lee Seong-hyon, an analyst at the Sejong Institute, a research center in South Korea.

24. the motivation behind… …背後的動機
25. make something clear 將某事講清楚
26. consolidation of power 鞏固權力

不論逐漸升溫的緊張態勢背後的動機如何，有一件事毋庸置疑：金與正鞏固了她在哥哥的政府中真正二號領導人的地位，韓國研究中心世宗研究所的分析員李成賢(Lee Seong-hyon)說。

★★★★★★★★★★★★

“As she leads the offense against South Korea like a general, it silences those old hard-liners in the Politburo who may think she cannot be the leader,” Mr. Lee said.

27. lead the offense 領導進攻
28. silence 使安靜；使沈默
29. hard-liners 強硬路線者,強硬派
30. the Politburo 中央政治局

「她像個將軍似的指揮針對韓國的攻擊，這讓政治局那些認為她無法做領導人的老頑固閉上了嘴。」李成賢說道。

I miss the British colonial days.

【#迷上英式英文】英女皇的電視演說

蕭叔短評：This will go down in history as one of the best speeches ever to have graced the English language.

This is the power of language. It’s more than just beautiful words and carefully crafted sentences. It’s also about having the empathy to understand what your audience needs at this moment, and what you, in your unique position, can deliver.

這一段寫得尤其好：

"I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge, and those who come after us will say that the Britons of this generation were as strong as any, that the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet good-humoured resolve and of fellow-feeling still characterise this country."

蕭叔叔

PS：聽還聽，女士們最好唔好學她發音，尤其是vowels。除了老一輩的英國皇室或貴族，正常英國人（即使是受過高等教育的）不會這樣說話。請另找模仿對象。

演說全文：

I am speaking to you at what I know is an increasingly challenging time. A time of disruption in the life of our country: a disruption that has brought grief to some, financial difficulties to many, and enormous changes to the daily lives of us all.

I want to thank everyone on the NHS front line, as well as care workers and those carrying out essential roles, who selflessly continue their day-to-day duties outside the home in support of us all. I am sure the nation will join me in assuring you that what you do is appreciated and every hour of your hard work brings us closer to a return to more normal times.

I also want to thank those of you who are staying at home, thereby helping to protect the vulnerable and sparing many families the pain already felt by those who have lost loved ones. Together we are tackling this disease, and I want to reassure you that if we remain united and resolute, then we will overcome it.

I hope in the years to come everyone will be able to take pride in how they responded to this challenge. And those who come after us will say that the Britons of this generation were as strong as any. That the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet good-humoured resolve and of fellow-feeling still characterise this country. The pride in who we are is not a part of our past, it defines our present and our future.

The moments when the United Kingdom has come together to applaud its care and essential workers will be remembered as an expression of our national spirit; and its symbol will be the rainbows drawn by children.

Across the Commonwealth and around the world, we have seen heart-warming stories of people coming together to help others, be it through delivering food parcels and medicines, checking on neighbours, or converting businesses to help the relief effort.

And though self-isolating may at times be hard, many people of all faiths, and of none, are discovering that it presents an opportunity to slow down, pause and reflect, in prayer or meditation.

It reminds me of the very first broadcast I made, in 1940, helped by my sister. We, as children, spoke from here at Windsor to children who had been evacuated from their homes and sent away for their own safety. Today, once again, many will feel a painful sense of separation from their loved ones. But now, as then, we know, deep down, that it is the right thing to do.

While we have faced challenges before, this one is different. This time we join with all nations across the globe in a common endeavour, using the great advances of science and our instinctive compassion to heal. We will succeed - and that success will belong to every one of us.

We should take comfort that while we may have more still to endure, better days will return: we will be with our friends again; we will be with our families again; we will meet again.

But for now, I send my thanks and warmest good wishes to you all.
