徐風輕拂的沙龍

Dad joke (2)

Do not go gentle into that good night,Old age should burn and rave at close of day;Rage, rage against the dying of the light. . . .Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sightBlind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height,Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.Do not go gentle into that good night.Rage, rage against the dying of the light. 這首詩是Dylan Thomas所寫的被認為是為垂死的父親所寫不過富含哲理，傳達某種普遍的生命意義 「別輕柔地走入美好夜晚盛怒、盛怒，在燭火亡滅之際」 傳達不輕易向死亡屈服，在生命之燭燃盡之前，依舊綻放耀眼光芒

Do Not Go Gentle . . .

My dog used to chase people on a bike a lot. ..............................It got so bad. I had to take his bike away

Dad Joke (1)

本文旨在釐清TOEFL iBT 閱讀測驗的測驗目標。透過比較學測考綱，筆者點出兩者測驗方向的相同之處，藉此說明「TOEFL是技術導向的語言測驗」(skill-oriented)。考生應該將準備焦點擺在「技術的磨練」(skill-drilling)，而非背誦更多冷僻單字或罕見片語。

TOEFL iBT 閱讀測驗在考什麼？【對照學測考綱】

本文以維基百科英文版所收錄孟克的《吶喊》條目一文，嘗試解構文章架構，將以銜接性(cohesion)原則為基礎，逐句解析語句的功能，以及檢驗例文的連貫性(coherence)。藉由本分析，筆者期望讓學習者更一目瞭然掌握文章架構和要旨。

本文嘗試拆解一封客訴回應信件的架構，只呈現內容包含的核心構件，以提供學習者更容易參考的範例。為了避免洩漏個資、預設特定企業的服務內容，以及侵犯智慧財產權，文中所使用的範例為AI生成內容，輔以筆者些微幅度的改寫。
筆者的目的僅在於提供「簡要且明確的框架，」以輔助練習。AI生成的文章不應拿來直接應用。

如何用英文回覆客訴信：拆解書信文體的結構

“Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture—a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my flood ran cold; and so by degrees—very gradually—I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and this rid myself of the eye forever”(Edgar Allan Poe, "The Tell-Tale Heart") 各位有過這種經驗嗎？明明就沒有人，卻總是覺得被人盯著看的感覺？

"A Pale Blue Eye"

“He smiled understandingly—much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced—or seemed to face—the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey”(The Great Gatsby, ch. 3) 各位有遇過這種「一生可能會遇上四、五次」的微笑嗎？ #TheGreatGatsby

"He smiled understandingly"

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth; . . .I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.("The Road Not Taken," Robert Frost) 希望生活觸礁、覺得人生路途艱辛的迷路者 多年後回想起自己走向「較少人走的路線」("I took the one less traveled by")而人生會因這個決定有所不同("And that has made all the difference") #poemsharing ------------------------Source Poetry Foundation<a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44272/the-road-not-taken">https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44272/the-road-not-taken</a>

"The Road Not Taken" 

本文旨在提供想報考多益(TOEIC)的考生一個自主訓練的方向；適合的考生應當具備以下考慮：擔心分數不能達到理想的目標、缺乏資源（主要是準備時間或金錢，）想透過自主訓練、不想倚賴家教或助理、自己買過或已經買坊間教材──透過這些較為節省成本的方式來提升考試成績的考生。
