📸 冰島航空選出世界最爛攝影師

Lily
I just spent twenty minutes fixing a photo my friend took of me. Somehow, the trash can behind me looked clearer than I did. 🙄
我剛剛花了二十分鐘修我朋友幫我拍的照片。不知道為什麼,我後面的垃圾桶看起來比我還清楚。🙄

哥倫布
Your friend sounds like a strong applicant for Icelandair’s contest for really bad photographers. Sadly, the winner has already been chosen.
聽起來妳朋友很適合報名冰島航空辦的「超爛攝影師」比賽。可惜冠軍已經選出來了。

Lily
Wait, why would anyone want to win such a strange title? 🤣
等等,為什麼有人會想贏得這麼奇怪的頭銜?🤣

哥倫布
Because the winner gets a free ten-day trip to Iceland and 50,000 dollars! Also, Icelandair had a funny idea behind it: Iceland is so beautiful that even a terrible photographer can take amazing pictures there.
因為得主可以免費去冰島玩十天,還能拿到五萬美元!而且冰島航空辦這個比賽是基於一個有趣的想法:冰島美到連一個很糟的攝影師也能在那裡拍出漂亮的照片。

Lily
So who won? With a prize like that, the competition must have been fierce.
所以是誰贏了?有這樣的獎品,競爭一定很激烈吧。

哥倫布
More than 127,000 people applied from around the world. A French woman named Blanche won. In her application, she said her approach to photography was ambitious but limited by reality. 😆
來自世界各地超過十二萬七千人報名。最後由一位名叫 Blanche 的法國女子獲勝。她在申請表上說自己對攝影很有抱負,只是⋯⋯礙於現實。😆

Lily
She cracks me up! That is such a funny way to describe her skills. But what do her photos actually look like?
笑死我了!她形容自己技術的方式也太有趣。不過她的照片到底長什麼樣子?

哥倫布
Well, the photos she submitted were dark, blurry, or even blocked by someone’s ear. 😅
嗯,她提交的照片不是太暗、太模糊,甚至被某個人的耳朵擋住鏡頭。😅

Lily
That sounds a little bit like the photo I just tried to fix. Maybe my friend can apply next time. She really knows how to make me look like part of the background.
聽起來有點像我剛剛試著修的那張照片。也許我朋友下次可以報名,她真的很懂怎麼把我拍得像背景的一部分。

哥倫布
Maybe she can, but she needs to raise her game. Next time, she should make you look even more invisible. 🤭
或許可以喔,但她還需要再提升實力。下次,她應該要把妳拍得更像隱形人。🤭

🤣「笑死」的英文怎麼說?
我們可以用 crack someone up 來表示某件事有趣到讓人大笑,譬如:The new sitcom is so funny that it keeps cracking me up.(那部新的情境喜劇實在太有趣了,讓我一直大笑。)如果要更誇張的說法,可以用 die laughing,譬如:I died laughing when I saw his terrible photo.(我看到他那張很糟糕的照片時快笑死了。)


💪「raise one’s game」是什麼意思?
Raise one’s game 意思是「提升實力」,常用在比賽、工作、學業等情境,譬如:If you want to win the competition, you need to raise your game.(如果你想要贏得比賽,你需要提升實力。)類似的意思我們還可以用 take it to the next level,表示提升到更高的層次,譬如:This partnership could take our brand to the next level.(這次的合作可能會將我們品牌提升一個層次。)

🗻 嚮導困聖母峰六天奇蹟生還

尼泊爾高山嚮導達瓦・雪巴(Dawa Sherpa)在聖母峰上部地區與登山隊伍分開後失聯達六天之久。就在大家都認定他已罹難的情況下,他終於在較低處的基地營附近被人發現。

我們一起用以下的新聞短文,來了解這個奇蹟生還事件的始末吧!

Dawa Sherpa, a Nepali guide, was found alive on Mount Everest after being missing for six days. He had been believed dead, and his family had even begun the funeral rites. Many in the mountaineering community called his survival a miracle.

Dawa became separated from his climbing group at around 7,500 meters during the descent. Running out of oxygen and barely able to walk, he ate nothing for the first two days, later surviving on ice and chocolates he found in his pocket. At one point, he fell into a crevasse and remained trapped for two days, escaping only after an avalanche piled up enough snow for him to climb out.

Eventually, he managed to reach near Base Camp and was found by workers collecting waste. He was airlifted to a hospital in Kathmandu, where he was treated for dehydration and frostbite. The case has raised questions because his family believes a search should have started earlier.

你看得懂多少呢?試著回答以下題目吧:

  1. 關於達瓦失蹤的過程,文章未提及下列何者?
    A. 他在登頂過程中與同伴分開
    B. 他一度缺氧而幾乎無法行走

    C. 他靠著嚼冰塊和巧克力存活
  2. 根據文章,此事件後來引起什麼質疑?
    A. 同行者太晚通報失蹤

    B. 後續未就近治療

    C. 搜救太晚展開

📚 想好答案了嗎? 解答在下面喔!不要偷看 😬 ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯

  1. 第二段提到達瓦跟他的登山客團隊 become seperated(分開行動)是在約 7,500 公尺高處 during the descent(下山的過程中),並非在登頂的過程。也有提到他 running out of oxygen and barely able to walk(氧氣用完而且幾乎不能行走)。而他後來 surviving on ice and chocolates(靠冰和巧克力存活)。所以答案選 A
  2. 第三段最後提到此事件 raised questions(引起質疑),因為達瓦的家人相信 a search should have started earlier(搜救應該早點開始),並沒有提到質疑同行者太晚通報失蹤,或是對醫療地點的選擇有疑慮。所以正確答案選 C

你答對幾題呢?附上新聞的中文翻譯讓你複習喔:

尼泊爾嚮導達瓦・雪巴在聖母峰失蹤六天後,被發現還活著。原本大家都以為他已經罹難,家人甚至已開始為他舉行葬禮儀式。許多登山界人士都稱他的生還是一場奇蹟。

達瓦在帶領登山客一起下山的途中,在約 7,500 公尺高的地方與他們走散。當時他的氧氣用完,幾乎無法行走,頭兩天完全沒有進食,後來靠冰以及口袋裡找到的巧克力撐了下來。他還曾掉進冰隙,並受困兩天,直到一場雪崩留下足夠的積雪,才讓他能夠爬出來。

他最終設法抵達基地營附近,被清理垃圾的工作人員發現,並被空運到加德滿都的醫院,接受脫水和凍傷治療。不過,這起事件引發了質疑,因為他的家人認為搜救行動應該可以更早展開。

🇬🇧 英國警方陷種族差別待遇爭議

去年年底,英國白人大學生亨利・諾瓦克(Henry Nowak)遭一名錫克教徒持刀刺傷,然而員警到場後,兇手卻謊稱自己遭諾瓦克種族歧視攻擊,員警因此將諾瓦克上銬,無視他不斷表示已被刺傷,而後諾瓦克不幸於當晚身亡。近期,警方隨身攝影機畫面曝光,引發關於警察執法、種族差別待遇與宗教刀具規範的激烈辯論,也有民眾為此上街遊行。

我們將各方公開發表的觀點整理如下:

🟥 受害者家屬

Henry’s father made a statement condemning the way police treated his son as “inhumane and degrading.” The family also urged the government to treat knife crime as a national emergency. However, they stressed that this tragedy should not be used to create division and hatred.
亨利的父親發表聲明,譴責警方對待他兒子的方式是「非人道且具侮辱性的」。亨利的家人也呼籲政府將刀械犯罪視為國家緊急事件。不過,他們強調這場悲劇不應該被用來製造分裂和仇恨。

🟦 錫克教團體

Sikh organizations in the U.K. clarified that the large 21-centimeter knife used in the attack was not a Kirpan, the religious blade carried by some Sikhs. They are also launching an initiative to remind Sikhs across Britain of the legal responsibilities that come with carrying a Kirpan.
英國錫克教組織澄清,攻擊中使用的 21 公分大型刀具並非 Kirpan(一種部分錫克教徒因信仰而配戴的刀刃)。他們也正發起一項倡議行動,提醒英國各地的錫克教徒配戴 Kirpan 時所涉及的法律責任。

🟥 警界

It was questioned whether fears of discrimination accusations clouded the officers’ judgment. In addition, the police anti-racism guidance stated that “racial equity does not mean treating everyone ‘the same’.” Police leaders have acknowledged that this wording created the wrong impression.
員警被質疑是否因害怕被控歧視,而無法做出清楚判斷。而且,警方的反種族歧視指南指出,種族平等「不代表『一視同仁』地對待每個人」。警界高層已承認,這樣的措辭造成了錯誤印象。

🟦 政治人物

Some right-wing figures have presented the case as evidence of anti-white bias and “two-tier policing,” meaning that police apply different standards to different groups. The prime minister rejected this claim, saying that politicians should respond to the case with “serious work, not rage.”
部分右翼人士將此案描述為反白人偏見與「雙層執法」的證據,也就是警方對不同族群採用不同標準。首相否決這種說法,表示政治人物回應此案的態度應「認真以對,而非憤怒」。

單字幫你整理好囉~👇

  1. degrading (adj.) 具侮辱性的
  2. initiative (n.) 倡議、新措施
  3. cloud (v.) 使不清楚、使迷惑
  4. tier (n.) 一層

學完這些單字,來試試看你的理解程度吧!✏️

  1. He found that his memory had been ________ by alcohol.
  2. The peace ________ was welcomed by both sides.

📚 想好答案了嗎?解答就在下面喔⋯⋯做答完再往下滑吧!😆

  1. He found that his memory had been clouded by alcohol.
    他發現酒精使他記憶變得不清楚。
  2. The peace initiative was welcomed by both sides.
    和平倡議受到了雙方的歡迎。
