「每日英文閱讀分享#036-你最重視工作的哪個面向?」
▷文章:Feel-Good Messaging Won’t Always Motivate Your Employees
▷總結:比起單純薪資誘因,能夠帶給這個社會正向的影響更能激勵員工。但是管理者必須要明確的解釋公司的願景,加上財務上的收支平衡考量,較不會讓員工覺得只是作秀,而真誠的相信公司的願景。
▷討論:你最重視工作的哪個面向?
「薪水、升遷方式、學習到的東西、老闆與同事、公司願景…?」
我覺得對我來說在一個可以接受的薪水下,學習是最重要的。
這個問題之前在上領導課的時候,Gipi院長有問過大家,
很難得的是同學們大多都把學習放在最重要的地位,
當然,如果學習很多的公司的薪資非常不合理,
除非真的沒有經濟壓力,不然應該也還是不會考慮。
但這個年紀的我認為,有應用的學習才是最難能可貴的,
所以在額外學習的同時能應用在工作或生活上是很幸福的。
▷單字分享:【a company’s bottom line】
Bottom line有幾個不同面向的使用,最主要用在商務方面是accounting和commerce方面,
the final line in the accounts of a company or organization, which states its total profit or loss:
常見用法:
1. help/benefit/boost the bottom line Many companies see that becoming more energy efficient, recycling waste, and having a good corporate image can all help the bottom line.
2. the final offer someone will accept:
Before beginning a negotiation, know your bottom line.
本文例句:It is no surprise, then, that when leaders seek to motivate their workforce by taking up “win-win” behaviors — ones that are good for both society and a company’s bottom line — many assume it’s best to frame their appeals in prosocial terms.

Food Idioms 🐔 美國生活用語之其他食物:Egg
1⃣ good eggs and bad eggs
2⃣ have egg on one’s face
3⃣ put all one’s eggs in one basket
4⃣ walk on eggshells
--
Nuts are nutritious and all, but now it’s time for some animal protein. Eggs are cheap, tasty and an excellent source of protein—which may explain why there are so many egg-related idioms.
堅果很營養沒錯,不過也要攝取一些動物蛋白質才行。雞蛋便宜、好吃,又是優質蛋白質來源,或許是因為這樣,所以也有很多和蛋有關的用法。
Just as there are bad apples, 1⃣there are also bad eggs—and good ones as well. Ex: There are good eggs and bad eggs in every group.
跟壞蘋果一樣,雞蛋也是有好有壞。如:There are good eggs and bad eggs in every group.(每個團隊都會有好人跟壞人。)
In the past, audiences used to pelt performers with raw eggs if they didn’t like the performance. As a result, 2⃣to “have egg on one’s face” came to mean to “suffer a public embarrassment.” Ex: The CEO really had egg on his face when the new product didn’t work during the demonstration.
以前的人如果看了不喜歡的表演,就會拿生雞蛋朝表演者砸。因此have egg on one’s face後來就有「出醜,在大庭廣眾下丟臉,沒面子」的意思。如:The CEO really had egg on his face when the new product didn’t work during the demonstration.(新產品在示範時無法運作,讓執行長一臉尷尬。)
If you put all your eggs in one basket, they’ll all break if you drop it, and you’ll be left with nothing. 3⃣So to “put all one’s eggs in one basket” means to put all ones effort or resources into one thing, which, if it fails, will leave one with no alternatives. Ex: When it comes to investing, it’s a bad idea to put all your eggs in one basket.
如果你把所有雞蛋都放在同一個籃子裡,萬一籃子掉了,全部雞蛋就會破掉,你就啥也沒了。所以put all one’s eggs in one basket意思就是「將全部心力或資源投注在一件事情上」,萬一失敗就無路可退。如:When it comes to investing, it’s a bad idea to put all your eggs in one basket.(投資方面,將全部雞蛋放在同個籃子裡是很傻的。)
If you were to walk on eggshells, you’d have to be very careful if you wanted to avoid breaking them. For this reason, 4⃣to “walk on eggshells” means to be very careful not to anger or offend someone (because they are easily angered or offended). Ex: Fred has a bad temper, so I always have to walk on eggshells around him.
想像一下自己走在蛋殼上,你得小心翼翼,不然會踩破。因為這個原因,walk on eggshells指「(因為對方非常敏感脆弱而)小心應對,如履薄冰」。如:Fred has a bad temper, so I always have to walk on eggshells around him.(Fred脾氣火爆,所以我在他身邊總是如履薄冰。)

which ones用法 在 Re: [國中] 關於不定代名詞用法- 精華區teaching 的推薦與評價
※ 引述《youngsister (養樂多公主)》之銘言:
: 最近上課上到不定代名詞,試著很白話的告訴學生
: 可是他們還是一臉不懂不懂的樣子
: 請問各位大大有什麼好方法嗎?去解釋如何使用?
: Most of
: Many of
: All of
: Both of
: 另外,國一課本上的USA,中間不再有點了U.S.A.
: 有點與沒點,有什麼關係嗎?
個人覺得有些文法若有明確易背的句型(如完成式進行式被動式等),可以演繹法教,但像
不定代名詞,我覺得與其先用文字或口頭講解其文法,還不如先用幾個例句來示範其句型
(即歸納法),像我今天就先用一些有點聳動又合實情的中文,請他們試
著翻譯,如「你們兩個都很懶」「我們都不喜歡xxx老師」「你們其中一人去過佳音」,
這樣他們多翻幾次了,就會有"one/each/most/some......of pron./the Ns(N不)"的概
念了,接著再問他們一些文法選擇較愛考的細節問題(不定代名詞與後面動詞搭配的技巧、
哪些不定代名詞的of後該接複數或不可數名詞)。至於畫圖我會畫一個大圈或圓,裡面再
依碰到的不定代名詞來畫對應的圖(像both就是裡面裡兩個圈圈,而且都會塗滿)。至於
國中也愛考的one/ones/it/they,我一樣會先用中文帶幾個有梗又符合真實情況的例句(
如:「教室裡有四張書桌,最亂的那張是你們的,它上面推滿了書」,請他們想想裡面的
不定代名詞究竟該用那四個的那一個(我會不斷跟他們說這個單元的某些單元其實可用「
中文回譯法」來幫助英文學習),最後再幫他們歸納一個四代的四格表----考相關的文法
選擇或填空時,把它先畫出就對了(我教also/too/either/so/neither時,也會類似的表긊格)
