=================================
1) Work out（うまくいく）
=================================
　
work outは「うまくいく」や「良い結果が出る」を意味し、何かしらの行動が良い結果につながることを表す場合に使われます。例えば、「良い結果になるといいですね」と相手の幸運を祈る場合は“I hope it works out.”と言います。ちなみに、今日の会話でビッキーは“How did it work out for you?”と聞きましたが、ここでは「大学はどうだった？キャリアに繋がった？」という意味合いになります。
　
＜例文＞
　
Don’t worry about it. I’m sure everything will work out.
（心配しないで。きっと全てうまくいくよ。）
　
That’s great news! I’m glad it all worked out.
（良いニュースですね。全てうまく行ってよかったです。）
　
What if your plan doesn’t work out? What are you going to do?
（もしあなたの計画が上手くいかなかったらどうするの？）
　
　
=================================
2) As long as（〜さえすれば）
=================================
　
as long asは状況によって様々な意味になりますが、今日の会話では「〜さえすれば」という意味で使われます。例えば、「練習さえすれば、上達するよ」は“You’ll improve as long as you practice.”と表現します。
　
＜例文＞
　
You can play video games as long as you finish your homework.
（宿題が終わっていればゲームをしてもいいよ。）
　
You can borrow my car as long as you fill up my tank.
（ガソリンを満タンにしてくれれば、私の車を使ってもいいよ。）
　
It's OK to make mistakes as long as you learn from them.
（間違ったって、そこから学びさえすればそれでいいんだよ。）

=================================
　
good value forは「〜に見合う価値」を意味し、この表現は一般的に、good value for the money（金額に見合う価値）とgood value for the price（価格に見合う価値）の組み合わせで使われます。good value for the moneyは「コスパが良い」ことを表し、逆に「コスパが悪い」はterrible value for the moneyと言います。
　
＜例文＞
　
Netflix is good value for the money. You should look into it.
（Netflixはお得だよ。調べてみてよ。）
　
That online English service is good value for the price.
（あのオンライン英会話サービスはコスパが良いよ）
　
This place is a ripoff. It’s terrible value for the money.
（このお店はぼったくりだ。値段に見合わないよ。）
　
　
=================================
4) Worthwhile（〜する価値がある）
=================================
　
worthwhileは、時間や労力、お金などを費やす価値があることを意味します。特に膨大な時間や労力を費やすニュアンスが含まれており、困難で大変かもしれないが、それだけの価値があることを表します。例えば、「やりがいがあるよ」は“It’s worthwhile.”、「やりがいのある仕事」は“It’s a worthwhile job.”と言います。
　
＜例文＞
　
My job is challenging at times but it’s worthwhile.
（私の仕事はたまに大変なこともありますが、やりがいがあります。）
　
I believe that everything worthwhile takes time.
（私は、価値あるものには時間がかかると考えています。）
　
You should get this textbook. It’s a bit pricey but worthwhile.
（この教科書を買った方が良いよ。少し値段が高いけど価値があるよ。）
　
　
=================================
5) Like everyone else（みんなと同じように）
=================================
　
like everyone elseは「みんなと同じように」を意味する表現です。例えば、「私はみんなと同じように英語が好きです」は、“I like English like everyone else.”または“Like everyone else, I like English.”のように、文頭と文末で使うことができます。日常会話ではjustを加えて“I like English just like everyone else. / Just like everyone else, I like English.”のように表現することが多く、みんなと同じであることをより強調することができます。
　
＜例文＞
　
I struggle with pronunciation like everyone else.
（私もみんなと同じように発音に苦労しています。）
　
I started studying English when I was in junior high just like everyone else.
（私もみんなと同じように、中学生の時に英語の勉強を始めました。）

【力量訓練的「訓練量」該如何設定？】

跑者的訓練量俗稱「跑量」，單位是「公里」，所以月跑量三百是指一個月總訓練距離300公里。在力量訓練圈的「訓練量」（Training Volume）常是「總反覆次數」 （Total Repetition）的同義詞；而「月總量」就是指一個月的總反覆次數，像我們會建議初跑者的月跑量最好不要超過100公里一樣，在做重訓時，有沒有一個區間可以讓大家參考呢？下面是《The System》的作者群建議：

#以下為譯文：
以剛接觸訓練的新手來說，月總量最好從750次（總反覆次數）開始；而菁英運動員的上限設在1,600次。在前蘇聯時代，我們親眼看到他們運動員以更高的月總量進行訓練。然而，我們後來也發現這跟他們使用加強運動表現的補給品有關，那使運動員能更快恢復。

總反覆次數是指在單一個週期中（這裡是指中週期）所有基本力量動作重複次數的總合。因此總反覆次數750的意思是在不同的訓練強度與動作中總共累計的次數，但這個數字不包括輔助訓練的動作。

從帳面上來看，750這個數字分配到一個月十二到十六次課表當中，看起來似乎很小，但我們這們所定的750這個數字比較像是「基本量」，而非下限，如果總反覆次數低於750下，就不會為運動員的成長帶來實質的影響。表 4.14 中的數值並不是意味著高水平或菁英運動員在四週內的總反覆次數永遠不會有低於1,000次情況發生，那只是維持成長的基本量。對運動員的恢復能力影響最大的是訓練量，因此這些範圍中比較需要注意的是上限的數值。若月總量超過上限值，恢復能力將快速到受到侵害，而且侵害的速度比任何其他因素都快。

一位菁英水準的運動員可以在一個月的時間裡完成1,000次以下的訓練，就算在恢復期也經常發生。然而，訓練新手若超過1,000次的上限，大都要承擔受傷或嚴重過度訓練的風險。

許多教練擔心他們的運動員練不夠，所以無法有效獲得力量和爆發力的進步。他們不想因為目標定得太低而有所保留，這讓他們感覺是「浪費」了一個月的訓練時間。剛開始採用這個方法來訓練時有這種感覺很自然，我們系統中的每一位教練也都曾經歷過相同的掙扎。

美國的力量教練已經把「訓練要用盡全力」當作一種信念，訓練完還有餘力好像就會覺得不夠認真。但請相信我們。我們說的方法很少失敗，也幾乎沒有過度訓練的風險，這些區間已被證明能最有效地幫助運動員進步。

在調整運動員的訓練量時，需要考慮到他們的技巧、經驗、過去的醫療史、訓練史、性別、實際年齡與訓練年齡。

我們過去的慘痛教訓可以讓你少走許多彎路。當你在訓練量的拿捏上猶豫不決時，原則是寧少勿多。寧可因量太少沒進步，也不要犯下過量訓練的錯誤。

總訓練量不包括輔助訓練或是特別針對「局部效果」的練習次數。那些動作主要是為了強化特定肌肉或是使全身力量動作能做得更好的輔助性訓練，所以我們不會把它們算在總訓練量中。
最受我們重視的力量訓練動作不只對身體的負擔很大，技術要求也很高；正因如此，我們才會嚴格限制訓練量。

雖然輔助訓練不會被計算在總訓練量裡，但你不要因此失控，開始加練很多你想練的輔助動作。永遠記住：效率第一。

#原文如下
The absolute floor of volume for a novice athlete is 750 total exercise repetitions per month, and the ceiling for the elite athlete is 1,600 total reps. During our time in the former Soviet Republics, we witnessed athletes performing even higher monthly training volumes. However, as we found later, that was often with the benefit of performance-enhancing substances that allowed for more rapid recovery.

In a single cycle, the total number of repetitions pertains to all exercises performed in the key movements. This means 750 total repetitions are spread between the different exercises among the range of training intensities we want to emphasize.

On the surface, these can seem like small numbers when we consider they may be spread out over 12 to 16 training sessions. That 750-rep total is really more like the basement rather than the floor of total volume—any less than 750 will not budge the needle on gains. That does not mean advanced or elite-level athletes will not have cycles that dip below 1,000 reps. These ranges should be more prescriptive of the ceiling of higher volumes to avoid exceeding. Pushing monthly volume beyond these ranges erodes recovery more rapidly than any other factor.

An elite-level athlete can use a month with a total volume of under 1,000 reps, as will often be the case when returning to training. However, a novice athlete can rarely exceed the 1,000-rep ceiling without risking an injury or a significant overtraining effect.

Many coaches worry their athletes will not do enough work to promote gains in strength and power. They do not want to “waste” a month by aiming too low on total volume and leaving some gains in the tank. That is a natural feeling when adopting this method, and each of us went through the same mental struggle.

Strength coaches in America are not hard-wired to accept less than maximum. However, trust us when we say that without fail, these ranges have proven to be the most effective in generating progress with almost no risk of overtraining.

Fine-tuning where your athletes fall in a volume range takes skill, experience, and consideration of their medical and training history, biological and training age, and gender.
The bloody trail of our mistakes can save you a lot of added stress: When in doubt, it is always better to err on the side of less volume than too much.

The total volume number does not include accessory work or exercises of “local effect.” Those exercises are more targeted muscle strengthening or exercises to support the main movements.

We are mainly concerned about the most physically taxing exercises that demand more of an athlete’s attention to technique—hence, the volume restrictions.

Although the accessory work is not included in the volume calculations, you still cannot go wild, adding as much as you want. Always remember this: efficiency first.

📰 Why self-promotion doesn't have to be taboo?

🀄 為什麼自我推銷不必忌諱?

Many of us instinctively hate the idea of blowing our own trumpets. Yet it's important to understand how best to highlight our skills – especially now.

📌 第一段說明，我們許多人instinctively(本能地)討厭blowing our trumpets (自我吹捧)。然而，在這時代，要了解如何顯示我們的才能是很重要的。

The mere idea of self-promotion makes many people wince. Trumpet-blowing is something a lot of us aren’t good at and that’s no surprise, given we’re taught as children that ‘boasting’ isn’t an attractive quality. “We get hung up on self-promotion coming across as arrogant,” explains Stefanie Sword-Williams, author of F*ck Being Humble: Why Self Promotion Isn’t a Dirty Word. “But if you’re not an arrogant person, you won’t deliver it in that way.”

📌 本段說明，自我推銷的想法使許多人wince (畏縮)。Trumpet-blowing (自我吹捧) 是我們很多人都不擅長的事，其實不奇怪。因為我們從小就被教導說 boasting (吹牛) 並不是一種吸引人的特質。 《X你的謙虛》作者威廉史瓦特就說：「為什麼 self-promotion (自我推銷) 不是一個不好的詞? 但是，如果您不是一個 arrogant (自大的)人，您不會讓人有那樣的感覺。」

In fact, taking pride in your professional accomplishments should be considered a normal part of life, not a taboo, experts say. Highlighting your skills well can feed into workplace success, and whether you’re changing jobs, want to move up at work or show your boss what you’ve been achieving, being able to self-promote effectively is an advantage.

📌 本段說明，專家表示，實際上，以自己的專業 accomplishments (成就) 為榮，應該被視為生活的正常部分，而不是taboo (禁忌)。出色地展示自己的技能可以促進工作場所的成功，無論您是要換工作，想升職還是向老闆展示您所取得的成就，能夠effectively (有效)自我推銷都是一個優勢。

Right now, the need to ‘self-sell’ has arguably never been greater, as pandemic-hit businesses weigh up what they do – and don’t – need going forward. It’s particularly true for some groups; women, who traditionally struggle to promote themselves, have been particularly affected by the Covid-19 recession, for example. Home workers could also benefit; research shows that they suffer from a lack of face-to-face time with managers, which negatively impacts career progression.

📌 這段說到：目前，可以說“自售” 的需求從未如此強大，因為受到疫情打擊的企業weigh up (權衡)了他們要做的事情和不需要做的事情。對於某些群體來說尤其如此；例如，傳統上為提升自我而 struggle (奮鬥)的女性尤其受到 Covid-19 衰退的影響。家庭工人也可以受益；研究表明，他們缺乏與經理面對面的時間，這會對職業發展產生負面影響。

“If we don’t invest the time in demonstrating our value, we run the risk of not being considered as ‘needed’,” explains Sword-Williams. “The content you put out about yourself is what you will be known for – so it’s essential that you control that narrative.”

📌 Sword-Williams 解釋說：“如果我們不花時間 demonstrate(證明) 自己的價值，那麼我們就有被認為不是'需要'的 risk (風險)。” “發布給自己的內容就是您將廣為人知的內容—因此，控制該 narrative (敘述)至關重要。”

Post-pandemic, how we promote ourselves could help determine whether we thrive in the workplace or linger, overlooked, on the side lines. That means overcoming squeamishness and learning how to explain our skillset properly. Fortunately, it’s something we can all master.

📌 疫情發生之後，我們如何推銷自己可以幫助確定我們在工作場所 thrive (茁壯成長)，或是在職場上 linger (徘徊)被忽視。這意味著要克服 squeamishness (神經質)，學習如何正確地解釋我們的技能。幸運的是，這是我們所有人都能掌握的東西。

In its simplest form, self-promotion is the act of drawing attention to your work and achievements. Whether it’s a post shared on your LinkedIn, an email check-in with your boss or a conversation with an important contact, self-promotion shines a spotlight on your successes with a view to developing a personal brand, furthering a career or asserting yourself in your field. It’s a skill that’s as important for someone trying to get on the employment ladder as it is for a CEO.

📌 在最簡單的形式中，自我推銷是一種引起對您的工作和成就的關注的行為。無論是在LinkedIn上分享貼文，與老闆的電子郵件，還是與重要聯繫人對話，自我推銷都將 spotlight (聚焦) 於您的成功，以發展個人品牌，促進事業或在自己領域建立聲譽。對於想get on the employment (升職)的人來說，這項技能與對於首席執行官的一樣重要。

秦基博さんの「Lost」をカバーさせていただきました。
この曲は最新6thアルバム「コペルニクス」に収録されています。

ある意味、今回のアルバムの中ではカバーするのが一番難しかった曲かもしれません。
このアルペジオを保ちながら歌うのが、ボクとしてはかなり苦労しました。
また曲にメリハリをつけるために、サビはピックストローク弾きとしました。
あと「Raspberry Lover」同様、この曲の雰囲気を損なわないためにもバスドラは必要不可欠だと感じましたので、フリーソフト（Hydrogen）でドラムスパートを作成しています。

拙い演奏と歌ですが、この動画が皆さんのカバーのご参考になれば幸いです。

Thank you so much for watching!

I did a cover of Motohiro Hata's "Lost".
This is included in his new 6th album "Copernicus".

In a way, it may that this song was most difficult to cover in new album "Copernicus".
I was very struggle to sing while to keep playing this arpeggio.
Also, I played hook part with the pick stroke because I wanted to make sharpness of this song.
And, similarly of "Raspberry Lover", I felt the bass drum is absolutely imperative, so, I made a drums part by free software "Hydrogen".

Although my unskilled playing and singing, I hope this video will help for your guitar cover.
Thanks my friends!

#秦基博 #Lost #コペルニクス

This is an English cover of "Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana" (The Only Flower in the World), a well-known song performed by Japanese boy band SMAP (founded in 1988 and disbanded just last year in 2016), with lyrics by singer-songwriter Noriyuki Makihara.

While I usually create my own translations, there was already a fantastic English version of this song by Hiromi De Young (YouTube linked below in the credits), and a great translation of the chorus by Nelson Babin-Coy (channel also linked). I used my favorite parts of each of these and made a few of my own changes.

I hope this song's message of acceptance and uniqueness reaches a larger audience through my cover.

Enjoy!

*Note: As usual, most of the translation is very close to the original meaning, but the second pre-chorus (the verse starting with "I saw a small flower...") is actually quite different from the original. However, I loved these lyrics so much that I kept them :)

The original meaning of the verse in Japanese is:
I didn't even know his name
But he gave me a smile that day
Just like a flower that was blooming
In a place where nobody would notice it

～♪～♪～♪～♪～♪～

今日は、昨年解散したSMAPの「世界に一つだけの花」を英語で歌ってみました♪

今回の英語詞はいつもと違って他人の訳詞を使わせていただきました。Hiromi De Youngによる素晴らしい英訳とNelson Babin-Coyによるサビ部分の素敵な英訳に、自分の変更を少し入れて歌わせていただきました。（お二人のYouTubeチャンネルへのリンクは下記のクレジットに記載しました。）

私のカバーを通じて、他人に対する寛容さと個性の大切さという、この曲のメッセージがより多くの人に伝わると嬉しいです。Enjoy!

※ちなみに、この英訳はいつものようにかなり原曲の歌詞に近いのですが、2番目のＢメロ（「I saw a small flower」から始まるところ）だけが原曲の意味とかなり離れています。それでも、ここの英語詞があまりにも素敵だったのでそのままにしました(^^)/

I saw a small flower as I walked by
通り過ぎたら小さな花を見つけた
It stretched from the shadows to reach for the sky
その花は影の中から空へと伸びていた
I thought to myself, what if I was that way
そして思った　私もその花と同じように
Reaching for my own dream and saying...
自分の夢に手を伸ばして　こう言おう

No. 1にならなくてもいい
(No. 1 ni naranakute mo ii)
もともと特別なOnly one
(moto-moto tokubetsu na "Only one")

I saw all the flowers lined up on display
The shop full of colors with their scented embrace
We all have a blossom we like more than the rest
But I think, with flowers, they all are the best

No fighting or envy, they never contend
But smile in the sunlight and sway in the wind
They all know their mission, it fills them with pride
Everyone is different yet all are alike

I wonder why people must always compare
And judge one another it seems so unfair
To place color, status, and looks to the test
For how can these show us who’s the best?

Just like these flowers
In the whole wide world, you are one of a kind
Cherish your uniqueness, no, you don't need to hide it
Each one of us holds our own special seed
So just be true to you, that's all you'll ever need

A man stood beside me and peered with a sigh
He puzzled and pondered but could not decide
With so many flowers and various hues
All were so pretty, which one should he choose?

Suddenly, a big smile broke out on his face
Flowers in all different colors and shapes
He gathered up a bouquet with one of each kind
Hugging them softly with joy in his mind

I saw a small flower as I walked by
It stretched from the shadows to reach for the sky
I thought to myself, what if I was that way
Reaching for my own dream and saying...

そうさ　僕らも世界に一つだけの花
(sou sa bokura mo sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana)
一人一人違う種を持つ
(hitori hitori chigau tane wo motsu)
その花を咲かせることだけに
(sono hana wo sakaseru koto dake ni)
一生懸命になればいい
(isshou-kenmei ni nareba ii)

Small flowers, big flowers, all kinds of flowers
You will never find one that’s just like any other
So you don’t need to struggle to be number one
Just be yourself because there’s only one

La la la la...
