🚣🏾Growing up in the 1990s on Chicago’s violent West Side, Arshay Cooper often had his walk home from school punctuated by the sound of gunfire. To him, “crew” was another word for “gang.” One day in the fall of 1997, a rowing coach with the nonprofit Urban Options who was trying to launch a team at Mr. Cooper’s overwhelmingly African-American high school beckoned him toward a sleek boat and a rowing video display set up in the cafeteria. Mr. Cooper realized that “crew” could mean something else.
Arshay Cooper生長於二十世紀90年代暴力橫行的芝加哥西部,在他從學校返家的歸途經常被槍聲給打斷,對他來說crew就是另一個gang的同義詞。在1997年秋日的某天,非營利組織Urban Options的一名划船教練正試圖在Cooper身處非裔美國人佔多數的高中內組建一支隊伍,當時教練向他招手,示意他來到放在餐廳內一條流線型的船前,同時有著一支划船賽的影片播放著。Cooper這才理解到原來crew這個字也可以代表其他事物。
-punctuate: 打斷、中斷(所以punctuation就是標點、斷句)
-crew: 組員、機組員等,此作為成員的意思
-gang: 幫派成員
-beckon: (向…)招手、示意
-sleek: 平整的;線條流暢的
🏆He wound up joining what would become Manley Crew, the country’s first all-black high school rowing squad. In a new memoir, “A Most Beautiful Thing,” to be published June 30, Mr. Cooper credits the sport with transforming his life and those of his teammates, keeping them away from gang violence, focusing their studies and paving the way toward more promising futures.
他最終加入了後來成為曼利船隊的全美第一支全黑人高中划船隊,在即將於6/30出版的新回憶錄『最美的事』中,Cooper認為划船這項運動改變了他和隊友們的人生,使他們遠離幫派暴力並專注在學業上,並為他們鋪平了通往更好未來的康莊大道。
-wind up: (使自己)陷入、捲入,這邊解為最終自己的狀況…
-memoir: 回憶錄
-credit: 讚許、讚揚(動詞)
未完待續...
划船運動究竟跟黑人的處境有什麼關係呢?

walk side to side 意思 在 矽谷阿雅 Anya Cheng Facebook 的精選貼文
【開會的時候選這個位子講話最有力】
走進會議室,你會選哪個位子?哪個位子最有影響力?頭?尾?站在旁邊?都不是。
阿雅最近在矽谷上領導力訓練,講師分享研究報告,原來,最有力的位子是:門走進去斜對角的位子。因為這個位子可以看到每個走進來的人,讓進來的人都感受到這個位子是「主位」的潛在力量。
好,現在你知道這個位子最好,身為好員工,你要自己坐嗎?不!要讓團隊成功,你要把那個位子給團隊中的少數。什麼意思?
團隊成功靠好的點子,好的點子來自多元化diversity 的團隊,多元表示不同的背景、不同想法,包括少數族裔;比如說在科技公司常談的就是女性;在美國常談到的就是非裔、亞裔、拉丁裔人士。
因此,我鼓勵你把位子留給公司的少數,比如說在一個滿是中年男子幹部的公司,把那個位子留給公司少數的女性主管。
分享這個邏輯鼓勵你的團隊擁抱多元、激盪創意!
【In Meeting Room, This One Is The Power Seat]】When you walk into a conference room, which seat would to select? Which seat is most influential? The head? The tail? Stand on the side? No.
I recently took a leadership training, and the coach shared that according to research, the most powerful seat is actually the seat that is facing and opposite side of the conference door. The person sits on this seat can see people walking to the room and gives people an impression that “I am in control” feeling unintentionally.
Ok, now you know which seat is most powerful. Should you take the seat yourselves? No, to help your team to be successful, you should give the seat to the minority of the team!
We all know that Diversity drives better ideas and decisions which helps company growth. By giving the power seat to minority - who could be women in tech companies; Asian, Spanish or African Americans in most of American companies.
If you work for a tech company that its leadership team is full of men, give the seat to the female leader! Embrace diversity to push your company grow.

美麗的台東被接連幾個颱風襲擊重創,但海岸線還是一絕,有空去走走吧!
#timefortaiwan
It's Time for Taiwan!!
One thing you must do when you come to Taitung is to come around the seaside because it has the most beautiful coast here!
當你來到台東一定要做的事,就是去海邊,因為這裡有全台灣最漂亮的海岸!
2016-2017 Episode 5 East Coast Line 東部海岸趴趴走(台東)
Transcript 影片文字稿:
Welcome to TAIWAN, I am Poyu Lin, I love to travel ,love wandering around in Taiwan
歡迎來到台灣,我是林柏妤,我熱愛旅行,也喜歡在台灣趴趴走
Today,I am taking Taiwan Tourist Shuttles of East Coast Line. Along the route, we will see the natural, this great talented artist left us some vibrant fine sculptures here.
今天我選擇的台灣好行,走的是東部海岸線,在這裡,我們可以看到大自然,就像是一個天才藝術家,留下許多鬼斧神工的作品。
Oh it's a beautiful place, the ocean lines are good, everything is beautiful here
這裡真美,很棒的海岸線,這裡什麼都很美。
Wanna see how far your imagination can go? You’ll have to come to “Xiaoyeliu Scenic Area”. What do you think this rock looks like?
如果你覺得你的想像力夠豐富的話,一定要來「小野柳風景區」,這塊岩石你覺得像什麼?
Doufu?Mushroom?Look, is it look like a frog?Honeycomb?Alien?Minions!
豆腐?蕈?你看,這是不是很像青蛙?蜂窩?外星人?或者是,小小兵...
Ok,well,let me think another one
好吧!那我再想想別的。
The interesting geological landscape of Xiaoyeliu was transformed through years of geological events, weathering and erosion. And the nature of its stratum, which is composed of overlapping layers of sandstone and mudstone, is the main ingredient to these unique sculptures.
如此有趣的地質景觀,是因為小野柳經過長年的地質變動,以及風化和海水侵蝕,加上它的地質性質,是由厚層砂岩和薄層泥岩交互沈積而成,創造了這些造型奇特的地質現象。
Aside from the beautiful scenery here, there are also many popular legends. The most famous one is about Sanxiantai.Back then, you will have to wait for the outgoing tide to walk over and visit. Nowaday with the bridge built in between, it becomes more accessible.
東部海岸除了漂亮的風景之外,這裡也有很多美麗的傳說,最有名的就是三仙台,以前得等到退潮才能過去,自從蓋了橋之後,一切都變的簡單多了。
From this angle you can take the coolest picture of Sanxiantai,having all 8 arch bridges in one shot. It looks like a giant dragon flying over the sea, doesn’t it?
這個角度,可以拍到三仙台最經典的照片,8座拱形的步橋連接起來,看起來是不是很像一條巨龍,飛翔在海上呢?
So,Sanxiantai used to be connected to the main island, and due to coastal erosion it became separated. If you literally translate Sanxiantai into English, It means the island of the three saints, represented by the three rocks.
以前三仙台跟本島是相連的,而會成為離岸島,是受到海水侵蝕的關係,為什麼這裡會被稱三仙台,傳說中有三個神仙,曾經在島上休息過。
Now,I’m going to cross the bridges
現在我要過去囉!
there is total of 320 stairs, so it's not difficult to climb
這裡總共有著320個階梯,對我來說小菜一碟
The size of Sanxiantai is as big as 27 football fields! I have got lots of energy so let’s walk around the area and look for the 3 immortals!
三仙台的面積,大約是27個足球場那麼大,依我的體力,要繞島一圈絕對沒有問題,三位神仙我來了。
I'm standing on Sanxiantai, the rock ,it’s so huge
我抵達了三仙台,這個石頭,好大~
However, for the native Amis Tribe, Sanxiantai is their traditional hunting and fishing ground and it is where food comes from. They called it “nuwalian”, which means “the place on the far east side”.
不過,對住在這的阿美族而言,三仙台是他們傳統的漁獵場和食物採集地,他們稱這裡叫”nuwalian”,意思就是「最東邊的地方」。
This is the Pisilian community, an enchanted Amis Tribe. The music instrument they were playing is called the “Paw-Paw” drum.
這裡是「比西里岸」,是非常迷人的阿美族部落,他們這裡最著名的樂器表演,叫做”寶抱鼓”!
The “Paw-Paw drum ”is created by local artists. They use recycled plastic floats of stationary fishing net and driftwood; then put on traditional Amis patterns, and turn it into a one and only Pisilian-style green instrument.
寶抱鼓是當地藝術家所創造的,利用廢棄的定置漁網浮筒和漂流木,加上阿美族圖騰裝飾,打造出專屬比西里岸部落的環保樂器。
This is easy to learn and great to play. You should to try it! today I’m going to say thank you for watching our show in Amis traditional language.
I am Poyu Lin, enjoy your time in Taiwan! “Aray”
這真是一個簡單易學又好聽的樂器,你也可以來試試看,今天,我要用阿美族的語言,跟大家說再見,我是林柏妤,享受在台灣的時光,“Aray”
