📰 The dying teenager who wanted world peace and love
🀄 垂死少年但願世界和平愛相隨
📘《Ken的文法筆記 I.》即將出售(詳置頂貼文)
When Californian teenager Jeff Henigson was diagnosed with brain cancer and given two years to live, a children's charity granted him the wish of a lifetime. But Jeff didn't choose to go to Disneyland or meet his favourite footballer - Jeff just wanted world peace.
📌 人生無常,這篇文章主人翁就是一個例子。Jeff給診斷患有(diagnosed with) 腦癌(brain cancer),他的一生中唯一願望(the wish of a lifetime)是世界和平(world peace)。
In the summer of 1986, 15-year-old Jeff Henigson was riding his bike to the local electronics shop to buy the last part for a "super laser" he'd been building, when he was hit by a van.
"It's coming in the opposite direction and she doesn't see me and just smashes right into me," Jeff says. "And I'm launched, like a rocket, 10 feet backwards. I land on the back of my head."
Jeff wasn't wearing a helmet, and was knocked unconscious. A few hours later, he woke up in hospital. He seemed to be OK, though, so he was discharged the same day.
📌 在1986年夏天,他騎自行車時發生意外,被廂形貨車 (van) 撞到,由於他沒有戴安全帽(helmet),因此被撞到不省人事(knocked unconscious)。他幾個小時醒來,看似可以了,所以在同一天出院(discharged)。
But within a few weeks Jeff began having seizures and he returned to the hospital, this time to have a CT scan of his brain.
If it had shown injuries from the cycling accident, Jeff would not have been surprised. But the news was worse than that - the scan revealed a tumor.
"Two things went through my mind," Jeff says. "One was a plan to lose my virginity that summer. And let's just say that did not work out. The second was to complete my laser project."
📌 他在幾個星期内感到不舒服,回到醫院進行電腦斷層掃描(CT scan),竟發現掃描顯示他有腫瘤(美: tumor 英: tumour)
Jeff was an ambitious teenager, whose dream was to work for Nasa. He believed that the best way to impress them was to build "the most amazing laser" which could bounce a beam off of a reflector that had been left on the moon by Apollo 11.
But the laser was also a way for him to bond with his father, a distant figure, who had served with the US Navy in World War Two.
📌 這段講述Jeff的夢想:為太空總署(NASA)工作。他希望建造一個激光器,令NASA對他留下好的印象。這個項目也是個與他爸爸建立緊密關係(bond with his father)的方法。
"I didn't know at the time if that was because of the war or something else. But my father was separate, emotionally, from the rest of us. And I thought, 'Here's this thing we have in common. This fascination with science. This fascination with space.' And that's why I pursued it."
Though Jeff's father never mentioned his experiences in the Pacific when the nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he would talk, at length, about nuclear weapons, the nuclear threat and the US's relationship with the USSR. And this seems to have had an impact on Jeff.
📌 Jeff解釋他跟爸爸的共同點是迷戀科學(fascination with science)、迷戀太空(fascination with space)。他爸爸詳盡地談及核武器(nuclear weapons)、核威脅(nuclear threat)以及美國跟蘇聯的關係(the US’s relationship with the USSR),這對Jeff有影響。
"There was a fictional film in the early 1980s called The Day After. It was about the Soviet Union dropping nuclear bombs on the US. I was probably 11 years old, and I was scared out of my mind. I would often fall asleep at night and go straight into a nightmare about nuclear war," Jeff remembers.
Jeff hoped not only that he would get that dream job with Nasa, but that the organisation would start to work with the USSR rather than competing with it.
"Even when I was fairly young, I could see the potential for collaboration between the US and Soviet Union," he says. "It just never made sense to me that we were pointing nuclear weapons at each other, when we could be collaborating to do extraordinary things in space."
📌 Jeff 不但希望在NASA工作,而且希望NASA會開始跟蘇聯合作,在太空合作做非凡事情 (collaborating to do extraordinary things in space)。

#中英夾雜的人生 002 小case
🤩C說:「謝謝你幫我這個忙!」
😘你說:「小case啦!」
小case 通常用在很簡單、沒事啦、不用客氣,那若是用正確的全英文怎麼說呢?
▶ No worries! 不用客氣、沒事啦!
▶ My pleasure. 是我的榮幸
▶ It's a piece of cake! 小事一樁~
_____浮誇程度分隔線____________
▶ It's a snap. (彈指之間就可以完成的事)
▶ I could do it with my eyes shut. (我閉著眼睛都能做)
▶ It's not rocket science.(又不是要做一隻火箭那麼難)
📍 你們也跟我一樣好奇「一塊小蛋糕」代表很簡單的由來嗎?原來在1870年代,蛋糕是比賽中贏家的獎品,因此就衍生出了這個用法。
那你們有人可以告訴我「小case」的由來嗎?

Strictly speaking this isn't an entry-level sharing, but having said that it's not really rocket science either.
Having filmed our own content on YouTube for four years, having been actors and presenters for 15 years, you learn a thing or two about filming.
In the last four years, we've found a real passion for creating, for finding inspiration for new material.
It really is like making something with your own hands, and with that comes a satisfaction that you can't achieve by simply playing a role or by hosting a gig.
Let's not repeat too much of what's been said in the video.
I suppose not having an infinite amount of time means that we can only film so much.
In order to film more, we came up with the idea of teaming up with our friends, so if each of our friends filmed a video a week, we could total... it would be scary hahaha
We just hope you guys will like watching what our friends and we will continue to produce!
Merry Christmas and wish you all a happy New Year❤️
