🔥 Americans Are More Troubled by Police Actions in Killing of George Floyd Than by Violence at Protests, Poll Finds
民調結果顯示，比起抗議活動中的暴力，美國人對警察殺害喬治．弗洛伊德事件更感不安


🧐 Voters by a 2-to-1 margin are more troubled by the actions of police in the killing of George Floyd than by violence at some protests, and an overwhelming majority, 80%, feel that the country is spiraling out of control, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.
《華爾街日報》和NBC News的一項新調查顯示，比對抗議中的暴力行為，美國人對警察導致喬治．佛洛伊德死亡的行為更感不安，人數高達一倍，且絕大多數（80%）的受訪者都認為美國正在失控。

- by a 2-to-1 margin 二比一/另一者兩倍的意思
- be troubled by 深受…折磨
- overwhelming 難以抵擋的；無法抗拒的
- spiraling （形勢）急劇惡化
- out of control 失控


😨 The poll also reveals striking partisan divides in how voters view a pair of unfolding national crises, including the unrest sparked by the killing of Mr. Floyd, the black Minneapolis man who was in police custody, and the coronavirus pandemic, responsible for more than 109,000 fatalities in the U.S.
調查還顯示，美國人對於當前的兩件全國性危機有著明顯的黨派分歧，即黑人男子佛洛伊德因警察逮捕致死所引發的後續騷亂，以及導致美國逾10.9萬人死亡的新冠疫情大流行。

- partisan （常指盲目）支持的，擁護的；偏袒的
- unrest 不安，動盪
- fatality 死亡人數


🚨 Nearly three-quarters of Democrats, 74%, said it may take the next year or even longer to curb Covid-19 and return to work as normal. By contrast, among President Trump’s strongest supporters within the Republican Party, 32% said the coronavirus is already contained.
近四分之三（74%）的民主黨受訪者表示，要遏制冠狀病毒並使工作恢復正常，可能需要花上明年一年甚至更長的時間。反之，共和黨內的川普支持者中，則有32% 表示新冠疫情已得到控制。

- Democrats 民主黨員
- curb 約束；抑制
- contained 得到控制、抑制

未完待續...
究竟這樣的失控
對川普的選情是否帶來衝擊？

《米桶發財法》(English version below)
STRIKING RICH WITH THE RICE BIN

年少時，吾突然意思到，吾的身段似乎「過於苗條」了，是時候讓它「蓬勃發展」。一來，能保護身邊的人，二來，在整體上，較爲健康，較爲好看些。於是，吾在食量上加倍，向同班同學借來一對九公斤重的啞鈴，勤做仰臥起坐、伏地挺身，以及使用其他運動器材。這些是吾室內強身健體的部份。至於室外的部份，較常較多的當屬游泳了。當年吾最喜用蛙式與蝶式，且每一次來回，喜「上岸」做仰臥起坐，及伏地挺身。吾不敢說吾的身材有多好多好，可確實有男女稱讚過，也起碼沒有多餘的贅肉。

除了室內室外的強身健體以外，吾還有一種獨特增強體魄的方法，那就是扛米。是的，妳你們沒聽錯，吾也沒搞錯。家父是位智慧型的嚴父，對他真的是又敬又怕。有一天吾鼓起勇氣，向他說吾想去幫家裡買米，他卻微笑的應允。這也是吾降生娑婆世間，首次體驗十公斤重，左右手各扛五公斤米的滋味。再加上那段路段來回，彷彿心中有首非常著名的詩在吟著，那即是：

鋤禾日當午，
汗滴禾下土。
誰知盤中餐，
粒粒皆辛苦。（一笑）

這種滋味實在是有夠勁！回到家時，家父依然微笑以對。雖然這初次買米的覺受，既新鮮又「夠勁」，吾並沒有退縮的心念，吾認爲這是很好的回報機會，也確實達於強健體魄。

吾，玳瑚師父，忠心祝願大家智慧增長，能辨別真偽，破除邪說歪道，無有恐怖，無顛倒妄想，快樂自在，究竟離苦。好些著重於外表的人，爲了擁有曼妙的身段，得以達於人衣合一的境界，（一笑）破釜沉舟式「棄米投美」，尤其是女有情眾。事實是她們不懂米，對於人體的益處。米是含著天上的甘露，地中的靈氣而生，是人類生存能量重要的來源。它可用來解毒、除煞、化煞、開光、治病、美容、護膚等等。很多女性瘦身減肥後，成功後身體卻有恙，原因雖有幾個，但不離因沒食米飯。潮州多出美女是事實，潮州美女的特徵在鳳眼膚白。爲什麼？因爲潮州人多以粥，及清蒸食物爲飲食習慣。米所含之豐富礦物質，乃人體所需重要礦物質。

米的種類有多種，一般我們較常看見的有，珍珠米、印度米、泰國香米、糙米、糯米，等等。這些米種皆有它們各自所屬之五行。若妳你確實清楚，妳你本身所需之喜用神，妳你可以選購旺妳你的米種，天天食之天天旺。這招本是發財的第一步，如此簡單如此實惠，可憐愚夫愚婦迷信不通，花巨額亂搞瞎搞的，搞了精疲力盡，始終搞慘自己及家人。如今吾，玳瑚師父，憐憫眾生而傳授此法，願得者利己亦利她他，多積陰德才好。買對了米，就將米用木質米桶裝起，再貼上一個滿字於米桶外。這是發財第二招。若妳你想將米桶置於櫥櫃的外上方，就請妳你將米桶隔離窗口，較聚氣處爲好。這是發財第三招。米桶發財法，人人能做，家家戶戶能做。豐衣足食的日子，已不遠啦！

............................

When I was still a youth, one day, I suddenly realized that I was perhaps too thin and it was time to beef up my physique. Firstly, I would be able to protect the people around me, and also look better and healthier on the whole. Thus, I increased my food intake, borrowed a pair of 9kg dumbbells from my classmate, diligently did push-ups and sit-ups, as well as used other exercising equipment. These were my indoor exercises. As for my outdoor activities, I mostly and frequently did swimming. My favorite strokes in the pool then were breast-stroke and the butterfly stroke. After every lap, I liked to get onto dry land and do sit-ups and push-ups. I dare not say how great my body was, however I did received praises from other men and women. At the very least, I did not have excess fat hanging off me.

Besides those indoor and outdoor body-building activities, I also had a special training method: carry rice sacks. Yes, you heard it correct. My father was an intelligent but strict disciplinarian, and I was often afraid yet in awe of him. One day, I summoned my courage and told him that I would like to help buy rice for the household. He agreed with a slight smile. Ever since my birth into this Samsara world, this was my first time experiencing the weight of lifting 10kg rice, with my left and right hands carrying 5kg respectively. Coupled with the journey to and fro, a famous Chinese poem seemed to sing from my heart:

Neath the midday sun he hoes his crops
His sweat moistens the soil between the stalks
Of food on the table who recalls
Each grain is produced through bitter toil

This experience was indeed something! As I got home, my dad still greeted me with a slight smile. Although my first experience of buying rice was refreshing and tough, I did not have any thought of backing off. I considered it as a good opportunity to repay my parents, and to strengthen my physique at the same time.

Master Dai Hu sincerely wish that everyone would gain wisdom and discern the true from the false, destroy evil speech and dishonest practices, not have fear and deranged delusions, have bliss and freedom and finally leave the realm of sufferings. There are many people who place a huge self-importance on their physical appearance. To have a graceful figure so as to reach the level of being one with their clothing, (laughs), they would burn their boats and forsake eating rice, all in the name of beauty. This is especially common among the ladies. The fact is that these ladies do not understand the benefits of eating rice for the human body.

The rice grain is birthed from the dew of Heaven and the spiritual qi of earth. It is an important source of survival energy for humans. It can serve as an antidote to poison, for removal and transformation of vile energies, consecration, curing of illnesses, beauty care, skincare, etc. After losing weight successfully, many ladies get stricken with ailments. Although there are several reasons to this, it is not far from not consuming rice. The city of Chao Zhou is famed for producing beauties, renowned for their distinctive elegant and almond-shaped eyes and porcelain skins. Why is that so? Because rice porridge and steamed food are staple foods of the people in Chao Zhou. The rice minerals prevalent in rice are vital minerals that the human body needs.

There are numerous types of rice, with the commonly seen grains like the pearl rice, Indian basmati rice, the Thai jasmine rice, brown rice, glutinous rice, etc. These various grains each have their own elemental types. If you are very clear about your favourable elements in your Bazi, you can purchase the suitable grain type, to gain prosperity everyday through your daily consumption. This is the first technique to striking great wealth. It is simple yet brings practical benefits. I pity the misbelieving men and women, who spent huge money only to act ignorantly, get drained of energy, and at the end, brought nothing but trouble to themselves and their families.

Today, I, Master Dai Hu, impart this method out of compassion for the sentient beings, and hope that those who benefits pay it forward to accumulate more hidden merits. After purchasing the right type of grains, store it in a wooden rice bin, and paste a paper, with the Chinese character "滿" written on it, onto the bin exterior. This is the second technique to more riches.

If you wish to place the rice bin on top of a cabinet, please place it away from the window, even better if it is at a spot that can accumulate Qi. This is the third step to greater wealth. This method of striking riches with your rice bin is applicable for everyone and every household. Get ready to welcome the days of great harvest and rice clothing!

Honest 在這裡該怎麼翻譯？
　
看了喬姆斯基在美國大選後再次接受Truthdig的訪問後，讓我好奇他說的 Honest 到底該怎麼翻譯成中文。
　
六年前他接受訪問的時候，看美國社會充斥著挫折感、幻滅感、自以為是的憤怒、缺乏有效溝通的情況，說了一句：The United States is extremely lucky that no honest, charismatic figure has arisen.
　
因為他是拿德國威瑪共和末期，希特勒的崛起來對照，所以我覺得他講的「honest」翻譯為「誠懇」有些不對勁。
　
我去查了書架上的Shorter Oxford Dictionary，在 「honest」之下看到五條解釋，前兩條都有很強的令人尊敬的意涵，近於中文的「誠懇」。第五條的解釋則近於「直言無忌」，和希特勒比較匹配，所以我就把那整句話翻譯為：「美國萬幸的是，還沒有出現一個直言無忌、具有領袖魅力的人。」
　
可是看了這一次他接受的訪問，發現這麼翻譯也不太對勁。
　
當訪問者問他：川普這次是否代表一種「面孔友善的法西斯」（fascism with a friendly face）崛起的時候，喬姆斯基回答說：
「那需要有一個像希特勒那種典型，honest 的、狂熱的理論實踐家，而不是一個渾身只讓人看到自大狂的人。」（But that requires an honest ideologue, a Hitler type, not someone whose only detectable ideology is Me. ）
　
他的意思是：川普只是自大，但不是希特勒那種honest 的狂想家。所以川普並不是他六年前說是萬幸還沒出現的人。
　
於是我的問題來了：那他說的英文裡的 honest 到底該怎麼翻譯為中文呢？譯為「直言無忌」是一定不夠了。但是翻譯為「像希特勒那種誠懇的狂想家」？我覺得還是不合適。
　
請大家指教。
　
另外補充一點：喬姆斯基這一次接受訪問的內容，很令我意外。
　
他雖然以地球暖化就在川普當選總統的十一月八日那一天也來到了空前的臨界點來開場，點出情勢的險峻，但是當訪問者要他對未來做一些預測的時候，喬姆斯基都沒有直接回答。
　
他一次講川普最大的特質可能就是不可預測( Perhaps his most striking characteristic is unpredictability. ) 最後結尾再說一次川普太不可預測。(Trump is too unpredictable.)
　
也正因為什麼可能都有，所以儘管風險還是很大，喬姆斯基認為大家如果能有計劃地動員起來做一些事，還是可能會有很大的不同。
　
總之，我自己的感覺是：光看訪問稿，喬姆斯基給人的感覺反而比六年前要樂觀。或者說，起碼不那麼悲觀。
　
這令我開心。
