How a lyricist influenced a translator 詞人對譯者的影響
Recently I am reading Lyrics, Painting and Life, a book written by veteran Cantonese lyricist Cheng Kwok Kong. I am not very familiar with his lyrics but I still respect him a lot. I would have given up teaching, if I were to keep an education officer's job and rush...
read moreBeyond psychopathology 精神病理學之外
剛剛讀完鄭秀文十年前出版的《值得》，書中收錄她的專欄文章，亦憶述她戰勝抑鬱症的過程。 讀過這本書才知道她的文學啟蒙是歌德《少年維特的煩惱》。她說讀過歌德就從此陷入了文學世界，常常讀書讀得廢寢忘餐、通宵達旦。熟悉鄭秀文的歌迷也許知道，她曾經沉澱兩年，這本書亦有提及。她透過文章探討自己以往不斷追求完美的過程導致自己抑鬱，以及其後如何自己寫專欄、讀書、信教而讓自己走出情緒困擾。...

read moreMental health programme in Australian schools 澳洲學生精神健康
澳洲總理莫里森宣佈將撥款280萬澳幣資助 batyr Australia 推廣校本的精神健康計劃。根據估計，全澳洲每四個16至24歲的年輕人當中，就有一人的精神健康受到困擾。batyr Australia網站上的標語是「讓室內的大象發聲」，目標鼓勵年輕人以積極正面態度討論精神健康相關課題。 在我看來，澳洲這項善舉當然值得其他地方效法，尤其是相當忌諱討論精神問題的亞洲社會。即便是醫療最先進的日韓新港台，大家討論精神科相關疾病時多少也有些避忌，畢竟這是多年以來累積下來的習慣，漸漸也似乎變成了禁忌。...

read moreDo you sing England 很英格蘭的曲風
一位朋友介紹我這支日本樂團 The Fin。他們是一支三人樂團，唱著英文歌毫無日本口音，音樂風格也很英國。若不為意，閣下或者誤以為他們是求學時代在英國或愛爾蘭長大的日裔青年。 若少年時期就在非英語系國家長大，想要培養這個風格就必須營造一個很英格蘭的生活環境。從早上醒來直至晚間就寢的時間，感官功能盡可能接觸所有英語元素：英國廣播公司BBC節目、澳洲ABC電台、美國的吉米法倫 (Jimmy Fallon) 和其他清談節目。多接觸說美式或英式英語的朋友，其實在臺北還蠻多的。另外，多閱讀英文書報亦可以讓英語風格更加根深蒂固。...
