本週🇺🇸美國大小事聊聊「 stove 爐子」有關的諺語
國外爐子跟台灣的不太一樣,是分成前2後2共4口爐子
這跟接下來要學的這三個諺語有大大~的關係呦!
沒問題的話我們趕緊開始~👇
--
The standard stove has four burners—two in the front and two in the back. When cooking, it’s common to put pots that need active attention on the front burners and pots that don’t need to be stirred on the back burners. 1⃣ So the phrase “(put/place sth.) on the back burner” means to give something less priority or attention, or postpone it. Ex: We had to put our travel plans on the back burner because of the pandemic.
標準的美式爐子有四個爐口,兩個在前兩個在後。烹煮食物時,我們通常會將需要心力照顧的鍋子放在前面,不用一直顧著的放後面。所以片語 put/place sth. on the back burner 延伸有「不優先考慮,延宕」的意思,如We had to put our travel plans on the back burner because of the pandemic.(疫情期間,我們不得不延後旅遊計畫。)
2⃣ In contrast, “(put/place sth.) on the front burner” means to give something more priority or attention. Ex: The deadline is approaching, so it’s time to put this project on the front burner.
put sth. on the front burner 就是相反的意思,指「優先考量」:The deadline is approaching, so it’s time to put this project on the front burner.(期限快到了,我們應該優先作這份計畫。)
3⃣ What if you “cook on the front burner”? That means you’re successful at something, or making rapid progress. Ex: Two promotions in two years—he’s really cooking on the front burner! 4⃣ The phrase “cook with gas” also has the same meaning. Ex: Great shot—now you’re cooking with gas!
如果我們說一個人 cook on the front burner,就是說他「做事得心應手、在某事上進展快速」,如:Two promotions in two years—he’s really cooking on the front burner!(兩年內升職兩次!他真的是作得不錯!)另外,片語cook with gas 也指同樣意思:Great shot—now you’re cooking with gas!(這球投得好,你真厲害!)

【Can we value good journalism more?】#雙語文章
English:
Instant news, out-of-context headlines and social media posts are capable of giving information on an event, incident or conflict. But these messages will only be like scattered pieces of knowledge compiled in our head without any meaning and connection.
In contrast, good journalism, on which critical thinking and media literacy are built, is supposed to provide more context and make readers feel, think, and care.
So, before the tech giants tighten their grip on the news industry, we need to take action to financially support the media we respect and trust, value the good work they put into, and never take good stories for granted. →
中文:
即時新聞、斷章取義的標題與社群媒體上的貼文,或許足以提供一件事情、意外或衝突的發生資訊,但這些訊息就像散落一地的知識碎片,在人們的腦中堆疊,卻缺乏意義與連結性。
相對來說,理應提供更多完整資訊的優質新聞,才能真實建立起「批判性思考」與「媒體識讀」的能力,幫助讀者去感受、去思考、去關切。
因此,在科技巨擘進一步強化他們對新聞產業的掌控之前,我們必需採取行動付費支持我們信賴的媒體、看重他們致力產出的內容,並別再把優質報導視為理所當然。→

Not Impressed by the Reputations of Men
“God had given me a clear revelation to go and confer with the other apostles concerning the message of grace I was preaching to the non-Jewish people. I spoke privately with those who were viewed as senior leaders of the church. I wanted to make certain that my labor and ministry for the Messiah had not been based on a false understanding of the gospel...Even the most honored and esteemed among the brothers were not able to add anything to my message. Who they are before men makes no difference to me, for God is not impressed by the reputations of men.” (Galatians 2:2, 6 TPT)
I love the apostle Paul’s mindset. He was not ‘starstruck’ by Peter, James, and John.
Whereas others would have been intimidated by the fame and reputation of the apostles in Jerusalem, Paul wasn’t.
He was led by God to go and meet them, and the only reason he wanted to speak with them was to confirm that he was preaching the correct Gospel.
Paul valued praise from God, not the praises of men.
If God is not impressed by the reputations of men, then as His children we shouldn’t be impressed too.
There is no need to feel intimidated when speaking to someone with a glorified title.
“When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.” (Luke 14:1 WEB)
Jesus went to a party where the most respected Pharisees were, and He still spoke straightforwardly, without mincing His words. He was not afraid to speak the truth, even if it offended reputable men.
“He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them, “When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him, and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place. But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.” He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you make a dinner or a supper, don’t call your friends, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back. But when you make a feast, ask the poor, the maimed, the lame, or the blind; and you will be blessed, because they don’t have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.”” (Luke 14:7-14 WEB)
Jesus’ words above are essentially meaning that the guests at the party were pretentious hypocrites, all trying to curry favor with the rich and famous. Think about how offensive these words would be to most people at the party.
We are a new creation in Christ in contrast to the children of Adam. We are the new and improved version 2.0. Children of Adam are transgressors, whereas children of God are royal priests and heirs of His estate.
Even the wealthiest unbeliever is only like a piece of firewood, due to be thrown in the unquenchable fires of Hell when he dies.
As for speaking to fellow believers, God’s word says that we are one in Christ and that titles don’t matter—we are all of equal standing. We are all saved by one Lord, born-again of the same Spirit, and none of us earned this salvation—it’s all by grace through faith.
“For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:26-28 WEB)
Don’t get me wrong, Paul respected the office of apostle which Peter, James, and John held. These positions are given by God. Paul also teaches us to respect the governing bodies and submit to them for the Lord’s sake.
We should also respect our leaders in church for the sake of the offices that they hold since they are ordained by God. Give them proper honor for the sake of the office. Submit to those who have the authority over us, as this authority was given by God.
However, we don’t need to fear reputable men. You don’t have to shrink back, feeling like you are somehow less important, less worthy, or less loved. God loves you even as (as much as) He loves Jesus—that’s how important you are to Him!
If people abuse their office of authority and mistreat you, they themselves will be accountability for it before Jesus. Maybe their eternal rewards will be given to you instead, to restore you for the injustice.
“Jesus answered, “You would have no power at all against me, unless it were given to you from above. Therefore he who delivered me to you has greater sin.”” (John 19:11 WEB)
No one can harm you when God is protecting you. Men have no power of their own. Therefore, be bold and have confidence in Christ. Straighten your shoulders and back, and raise your chin up. Be set free from the fear of reputations of men!
I shared more about the time when Jesus went to that Pharisee’s party in my book “Messiah’s Miracles: The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”. Did you know that He healed a man with dropsy there? There is a spectacular lesson in it. See God’s Grace and love towards you in all the 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ, and let faith arise for your own supernatural breakthroughs: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles

[1/3] I got FULL MARKS for this composition as part of my IB Music HL composition coursework (25% of my final grade)!!!! Note: some of the dynamic markings are messed up because im recording this on panorama mode :(
This song is a rewrite based on my previous IGCSE composition 'The Maze Runner' (https://youtube.com/watch?v=3VpPBgywVzA)!
Reflective Statement:
My initial intention for ‘Haunting’ was to compose for mallet quartet describing my own IB journey. I wanted to experiment with a 5-octave marimba, and was also intrigued by extended ternary form (AABA) in chamber music. I was inspired by the soundtrack from “Legend Of The Wind” by Studio Ghibli, but was also influenced by minimalist music such as “Mallet Quartet” by Steve Reich. A performers note has been included to help clarify the meaning of each section and to convey its meaning.
I began composing this piece on the marimba with the intention of a four-mallet marimba solo due to its wide range. However, I then decided to expand it to a small ensemble so that I could experiment with different textures, timbre and harmonies. As a result, I fragmented the main melody to include more tone colour in the piece. As a percussionist, I was aware of the many unique techniques capable of the marimba and vibraphone, thus I wanted to exploit that and transform my composition by writing in unconventional techniques and notations (such as handle- on-handle and rapid glissandi) and was able to choose more interesting rhythms. I developed my piece by adding an entire section using mainly triplets to create a contrast in rhythm, which helped create a climax.
The outcome of this piece is that I learnt how to develop ideas from fragments of melody, and how to compose a rhythmically challenging piece whilst still maintaining an overall cohesiveness. I also learnt how to compose for a repetitive melody yet still being able to add colour and maintain interest as the piece progresses. As a result, this lead me to discovering many vibraphone techniques I hadn’t learnt prior, such as mallet-dampening and learning how to use the pedal properly!

in contrast meaning 在 samguw Youtube 的最佳貼文
What is really being Malaysian all about to you?
Inspired by Tunku Abdul Rahman and his speech during Malaysia's independence.
Culture does not define your identity, it just strengthens it.
You aren't Malaysian because of your culture, you are Malaysian because of your respect, loyalty and commitment the nation and its people.
Selamat Hari Merdeka dan Selamat Hari Malaysia.
======================================
What is being Malaysian all about?
It's not just the clothing we wear
or the food we eat.
It's not just the festivals we share,
nor the different races we meet.
It's not the just the friendliness for each other,
or the traffic we go through.
It's not the lingo we mutter,
or asking the obvious like
"Eh shooting video ah?"
No la, I'm doing kung fu.
You see being Malaysian is not just the way
we communicate or the culture we cultivate.
Being Malaysian is :
Kepercayaan Kepada Tuhan
Kesetiaan Kepada Raja dan Negara
Keluhuran Perlembagaan
Kedaulatan Undang-undang
Kesopnan dan kesusilaan
It is upholding the promises and oaths we give to
God, our country and to each other.
It is the pride and respect we give,
casting aside religion, way of life and colour.
To be united under the jalur Gemilang.
Through the ups and downs and to say
I am proud of my country.
I am proud of Malaysia.
And that,
is Being Malaysian.
==================================
Directors Notes :
Every aspect of this film has a symbolic meaning.
1. The speech/poem itself is a tribute to Tunku Abdul Rahman and his fight for Malaysia's independence.
2. The film itself is meant to look old as to signify the ideas have been there long ago.
3. The clothing is modern as to bring a contrast and also that these ideas are still very much applicable now.
4. If you listen carefully you can hear a crowd in the background which is meant to signify the masses.
