[時事英文]「超前部署 」英文怎麼說?
由於最近這個詞出現的頻率很高,所以陸續有同學寫信問我「超前部署」的英文是不是「advanced deployment 」?
★★★★★★★★★★★★
1、「advanced」意味著在「程度/層次」(level)上是更高等的、更高級的,例如:
➣ an advanced English course
進階英語課程/高階英語課程/高級英語課程(相對於初、中級)
➣ advanced learners of English
進階英語學習者/高階英語學習者/高級英語學習者
➣ advanced physics
高等物理
★★★★★★★★★★★★
2、「advanced」也可以表示非常現代的、最新的(modern),例如:
➣ advanced weapon systems
先進武器系統
➣ advanced technology
先進技術/前瞻技術
➣ high levels of unemployment in advanced industrial societies
先進工業社會的高失業率
詳參:https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/advanced
★★★★★★★★★★★★
3、若你想表達某事發生在其他事之前,則須用——「in advance (of something)」。例如:
➣ I should warn you in advance that I’m not a very good dancer.
我應該事先告訴你,我不是一位出色的舞者。
➣ Many thanks, in advance, for your help.
在此先感謝您的幫助。
➣ The Assembly passed legislation which required organizers of demonstrations to apply three days in advance for government approval.
議會通過了立法,要求示威的組織者提前三天申請政府批准。
詳參:https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/advance
★★★★★★★★★★★★
4、在中文的語境裡,「超前部署」本為國軍術語,用於軍事上的部署與配置。因今年疫情而輾轉進入公眾視野,也成為公共衛生的防疫語彙。在英文裡,若想表達兵力上的預置,你可以說:
➣ the early deployment of troops
➣ deploy troops in advance (of something)
➣ deploy troops in preparation (of something)
➣ deploy troops ahead of something
「超前部署」見於國軍「主動防救」的災防思維,國軍採「超前部署、預置兵力、隨時防救」的作法,以因應重大天災對國家安全的威脅。詳參:https://bit.ly/2WuyIXb
★★★★★★★★★★★★
5、在英文裡,「advanced deployment」雖是慣用語,但多用於計算(computing)以及網路管理(network administration),其中涉及較高階的(higher-level)電腦或系統的安裝過程,以利於真實環境裡的高效作業。

★★★★★★★★★★★★
6、可能有些文章會使用「advance deployment」來作為「超前部署」的英文用法,以表達對流行疫情所採取的準備措施。但在英文裡,這並不是常見的用法:
That decision did make inconveniences to passengers and losses to THSRC, but that measure in conjunction with Taiwan's “advance deployment” has indeed effectively reduced the risk of people being over-exposed in mass transportation.
詳參:https://yhoo.it/3dHexLq
★★★★★★★★★★★★
7、「超前部署」雖可置於防疫的語境中,但在英文裡並沒有一個全然相應的用法。而在中文與英文的脈絡下,其所關聯的語意也不盡相同。英語使用者通常會這麼說:
❖ 用法A: (early) preventive measures
“A contact-tracing app developed in Singapore as a preventive measure against the coronavirus.”
詳參《紐約時報》:https://nyti.ms/3bjfxDT
“For the general public, basic preventive measures include keeping a safe distance of 1 to 2 metres, washing hands with soap for 20 seconds or using a hand sanitiser, wearing a face mask if crowded situations cannot be avoided and not touching one’s eyes, nose, and mouth.”
詳參《路透社》:https://reut.rs/3fEMZrK
❖ 用法B:「something+prevention measures」也頗為常見
“Efforts are better spent boosting infection-prevention measures at hospitals.”
詳參《經濟學人》:https://econ.st/2YUoMYu
“Vice Premier Chen Chi-Mai shared Taiwan's deployment of big data in our epidemic-prevention measures with two professors visiting from Stanford, C. Jason Wang, director of the Center for Policy, Outcomes and Prevention, and health law scholar Michelle M. Mello.”
詳參中華民國外交部:https://bit.ly/3cnuRk6
★★★★★★★★★★★★
其他可以使用的相關片語:
➣ take protective measures
➣ implement preventive measures
➣ infection prevention and control
➣ early prevention and detection
➣ immediate government intervention

[生活美語] 同學有在網路上被「 catfish」過嗎?
catfish 作為名詞被定義為
1. 鯰魚
a type of fish that has whiskers around its mouth and lives in rivers or lakes
嘴上有鬍鬚,生活在河流或湖泊中的魚
★★★★★★★★★★★★
2. 網路鯰魚,在社群媒體上用虛假身份欺詐別人的人
someone who lies about themselves on the Internet in order to impress people, especially so that someone will start a relationship with them
為了給人留下深刻印象而在網路世界撒謊的人,尤其是使某人與他們建立關係的人
e.g.
Turns out the girl I thought I met online was just a catfish of an old man.
原來我以為我在網上認識的那個女孩只是一隻老人扮演的「網路鯰魚」。
—Urban Dictionary
★★★★★★★★★★★★
catfish 作動詞時意為「用虛假身份在網上欺騙他人」
to deceive (someone) by creating a false personal profile online
e.g.
They never actually met. He was an online thing. They'd been talking for over a year. We were all pretty sure he was catfishing her, but she was convinced he was legit and that they were in love.
他們從未真正見過面。他是網路情人。他們已經聊了一年多了。我們都很確定他在網路上「扮演鯰魚」欺騙她,但她覺得他很真實也愛上他了。
—M-W Dictionary
★★★★★★★★★★★★
那麽我們為什麼如此使用catfish這個字呢?
根據紐約時報,catfish這個字的用法源自於2010 Ariel Schulman的紀錄片《鯰魚》(Catfish)中的用語。片中年輕的攝影師Nev與密西根州的一個妙齡女子Megan在網上墜入愛河,但當他祕密前往密西根州想與Megan相見時才發現,對方的真實名字是Angela,是一個中年家庭婦女,而她在網路上呈現的生活樣貌都只是她在虛擬世界中構建出的夢想生活狀態。
影片「鯰魚」得名於Angela丈夫講的一個故事:為了保持鱈魚的活躍與新鮮,一些漁民會將鯰魚放進捕到的鱈魚中一起長途運輸。這是因為作為鱈魚的天敵,鯰魚能使鱈魚一直保持警惕狀態,不至於在蓄水池中靜止不動而死去。他用「鯰魚」來比喻自己的妻子----一個偽裝成令人著迷的身份、不斷攪動他人生活漣漪的人。自此以後,人們就用catfish來形容用假身份在網上欺騙他人的人。
—NY Times
When Nev was visiting with Angela and her husband Vince, Vince tells them a story about a problem when live cod were shipped to Asia from North America, and the flesh ended up gross and mushy from inactivity. In order to keep the cod active, according to Vince’s story, the fisherman started putting catfish in with the cod to nip at their tails and keep them active. Vince implies that Angela is like those catfish because life would be “dull and boring if we didn’t have someone nipping at our fins.”

★★★★★★★★★★★★
So, beware of catfishing.
