這首歌非常的輕快俏皮，韻腳很多，唱起來很好玩，蘭卡聲音很好聽，MV也很可愛，大寶說蘭卡從頭到尾都沒表情最厲害，呵呵。歌詞不難，大意應該是他想要成為這一切好玩的東西。裡面的歌詞用了超多simile比喻的方式比方說as sly as a fox像狐狸一樣狡猾，as quiet as a mouse 像老鼠一樣安靜。另外很多壓韻的地方，看得出來想盡量找韻腳，第一段完全押韻，第一句as sly as a fox, as strong as an ox中的fox跟ox，第二句的hare跟bear，第三句的bird跟word，第四句的mouse跟house。不過有些歌詞很明顯的就是為了壓韻寫出來的，比方說as neat as a word，這超難翻，word是文字，neat可以當整齊，可以當很酷，潔西翻像文字一樣酷炫。as light as play，這也是play可以當話劇，也可以是玩耍，light可以是淺色，輕盈，潔西翻像遊戲一樣輕鬆。其實越簡單的文字就越難翻。大家自己想像，可能有不同的翻法喔:) 單字不難，有很多可以學的，因為押韻，所以有點像兒歌，呵呵，多唱幾遍就學起來了喔。

原本 Everything at once 是翻譯馬上成為一切，謝謝網友提醒，看了些一些文章，其實可能應該是 Lenka 像要同時成為這些她所描述的這一些事物。希望自己能在同一個時間成為這些她所描述的東西，感覺比較合理。
Men will be men. 男人就是男人，不論是網路上的，現實生活中的，不論是外國人還是台灣人。女孩們，睜大眼睛啊！
英語有個諺語說 Boys will be boys. 男孩子就是男孩子，所以打架調皮搗蛋都很正常，潔西把它改了一下，男人就是男人，問一下Google大師，出現 Men will always be men. 男人就永遠都是那樣。不服氣的男生當然可以改 Women will always be women. 女人也就都是這樣啊！總之呢，男人女人，不分國籍不分年紀都是一樣的。潔西這兒特別要提醒的是不要以為外國的月亮比較圓就迷惑了啊，同學！會這麼說是因為前幾天接到學生的電話，她非常苦惱，一問之下，原來她在臉書上收到一個義大利帥哥的交友請求，起先她沒有理，後來她的朋友幫他加了好友後兩個人就開始聊天，剛開始聊的很開心，然後呢昨天這個男生開始說一些不是很正經的話，她覺得很煩惱，不知道怎麼辦，所以找潔西商量。有什麼好苦惱的？潔西問，就直接把他unfriend刪好友就好了啊？同學掙扎了一下，說，可是可是他很帥。天啊！潔西問同學，你看過他嗎？你怎麼知道他很帥？沒有，他在義大利我怎麼會看過他。那你確定那是他的照片嗎？是啊，就是他。你們有視訊嗎？沒有。那你怎麼知道他是照片中的本人。網路上要冒充一個人還不容易嗎？潔西也可以拿安潔麗娜裘莉的照片來冒充，也有是個潔啊，呵呵，好冷。
其實感情整個就是個盲目的東西，當下別人怎麼說都沒用，不過呢當老師的好像有點社會責任 social responsibility，所以雖然有點囉唆，雖然很多人應該都知道，還是要點一下唸一下，提醒一下。網路在某種程度上是個虛擬空間，誰都可以拿帥哥美女的照片來冒充，說不定他不知道是哪個國家的糟老頭，你怎麼知道他是義大利人？學生說他一開始送訊息就用Ciao，所以我也Ciao回去，可是我不會義大利文所以就開始說英文，學生這麼說。唉！只要會幾句義大利文也不是不能冒充義大利人，好吧，就算他是義大利人，就算他真的是那個帥哥，那又怎麼樣？假如今天一個不熟的台灣男生在網路上跟你說他有性的需要，問你一些五四三，應該馬上刪除好友了吧！當面跟你這麼說可能你還會甩他一巴掌，說不定還告他性騷擾 sexual harrassment。
所以盲點在哪裡呢？外國人？網路？外國的月亮比較圓？說實在潔西在澳洲的時候真的覺得雪梨的月亮比台灣大耶，好，回來。台灣有些女生對外國人真的有不少迷思。未知的好奇感新鮮感吧。潔西常會問同學為什麼要學英文，有一天一個同學說Because I want to marry a foreigner. 因為我要嫁外國人。唉！潔西嘆氣。同學，foreigner外國人不是每個人都會說英文的，而且只要不是台灣人都是外國人，你確定你要嫁泰國人，印度人，非洲人，還是同學的外國人的定義就是白人，歐美人士？有時候真的覺得同學真的是天真啊！
潔西的學生還跟潔西說，可是說不定他沒什麼惡意，因為他們外國人都比較開放，所以可能對他們來說談論性是一件很正常的事。恩，台灣人相對起來沒錯真的是比較保守的社會，西方人士連Let’s talk about sex 我們來談性吧這樣都可以出歌，台灣好像沒什麼人會做這樣的事，恩，歌本身就會被禁了吧！其實這個話題潔西也跟外國人討論過，雖然他們比起台灣人來說是開放，但是也不是所有的人都接受one night stand一夜情，也是有很保守的人啊。學校至少在性教育方面比台灣開放許多。國外有些學校還會有人去教導示範保險套如何使用，潔西記得在雪梨唸書的時候開學社團展時也有人在發保險套，很多洗手間也都有在賣，飯店的床上也會放保險套。台灣相較之下真的是很保守。潔西聽說有學校國中老師一開學就沒發健康教育課本，然後也避開不談，加上家長觀念也保守，所以到這二十一世紀還有可憐的國中生懷孕了都還不知道。唉！
性不是不可以談，外國人的確在這方面比較開放，不過實潔西覺得重要的是"尊重"兩個字，今天開放是一回事，尊重又是一回事。大家以為外國人都開口閉口就是 fxxk 嗎？並不是，潔西去年去加拿大玩，跟朋友的朋友在一起聊天時，假如他們在潔西面前假如不小心爆粗口，還會說Excuse my French. 就不好意思我罵髒話的意思。所以假如一個男生開口閉口跟你談性，不論國籍絕對不是尊重你。很熟很好的朋友亂聊一通跟不熟的人在你面前亂開黃腔這種區別應該不難分吧！從前在辦公室有個外國同事超喜歡說黃色笑話，動不動肉麻當有趣，然後沒事手還喜歡搭在你身上，這種人不論中外籍女生應該都是逃之大吉吧。可是呢潔西從前的辦公室的同事也有一堆超開放，大家開起玩笑真的是百無禁忌，亂聊一通，全部笑翻，最後主管還要出面制止，因為學生會進到辦公室問問題拿東西，讓學生聽到就毫無形象了，呵呵。怎麼談跟誰談，尺寸自己要把握住啊！
而且男生是這樣的，他會先試探你，假如覺得可以的話就得寸進尺。在網路上剛認識的時候當然都先從 Hi, Hello! How are you? Where are you from? 這種無傷大雅的開始聊。然後 Do you have a boyfriend? 然後就往那個方向帶過去。潔西從前偶爾也會在Skype上聊天，通常那種色狼變態不會自己承認，但是呢警告訊號就是問你有沒有視訊，要你開視訊，請馬上Block封鎖。潔西還要告誡同學，請你們千萬不要隨便亂開視訊啊，你確定你真的會喜歡你所看到的東西嗎？萬一從照片的義大利帥哥變成個又老又醜又沒穿衣服的露鳥俠，心臟有能力負荷嗎？還好潔西沒遇過，遇到比較糟的就是FB上朋友的朋友，一個加拿大人，剛開始還人模人樣的聊天，沒多久就露出馬腳，講一下五四三，煩死了，懶得理你，秒鎖。
就像去酒吧也是一樣啊，男生，應該不只是外國人吧，一開始試探的時候手就會不經意的碰到你的手，說話的時候不時把手放你肩上，假裝扶你一把，摟一下你的小蠻腰，坐你隔壁的時候把手放到你的手上，放在你的腿上。這時候女生假如沒有做出反對的舉動的話，那男生就覺得你是默許，就會越來越誇張。這呢就是不成文的，恩，該怎麼說呢？默契嗎？恩，其實這是一個很模糊的界限，男女間，彼此喜歡有意思的話就叫flirting調情，不喜歡的話就是騷擾harrassment，說話跟動作都是一樣。假如你沒有行動，男生就會被誤導，覺得你跟他想的是同一件事，所以女孩們，假如遇到不喜歡的人就推開或離開。有些女生會覺得不好意思揮開那雙鹹豬手，其實就假裝要去洗手間，然後就不要再回來了。找一起的同伴求助也可以。潔西多年前上英文課時的同學還跟潔西說，在一起上課的時後外國老師上課時候就開始在桌子底下摸她大腿，同學覺得上課不好意思有任何舉動，唉，吃虧的是自己啊，同學！一定要有所行動啦。有時候很客氣的躲開，有些人還糾纏不清，煩不勝煩，外籍友人教潔西要兇一點，叫他滾開的時候不能還客氣笑笑地說 Get lost! 滾！ 他還以為你在開玩笑。遇到討厭的人請大膽強勢拉下臉說Fxxk off！不想理那個人態度就強硬一點。潔西覺得台灣人就是比較客氣一點，所以有時候他們還以為你在 play hard to get，恩，就是拿翹，裝一下這樣。不用跟他們客氣。也不需要給他們留面子，真的。 pub 的話可以跟 bartendar 酒保，通常 club 有警衛 guard，直接跟他們說，假如那個人還是繼續騷擾你可能就被請出去了。網路上的朋友就很簡單直接 unfriend 刪好友，block封鎖，通常一般人就會知難而退。
還有一點就是，不要隨便讓人家請喝酒請吃飯，買東西給你，天真的女孩們。天下真的沒有白吃的午餐。一個男生對你好當然有目的。假如在 pub 裡面有人請你喝酒，不要太早開心，多請你幾杯把你灌醉，然後就被帶回家，這種道理應該不用說電視電影就看很多了吧！潔西聽線上心理學課程時聽到美國知名大學的講師說其實 date rape 約會強暴其實比一般強暴率來的高得多。因為很多女生跟喜歡的男生出去，就不夠警覺，酒喝多了也無力抵抗，比較慘的還有被下藥，最後發生事情後又不敢宣揚。潔西從前的外國女同事在pub喝酒都是酒不離身，離身就不喝了。怎麼知道會被放什麼呢？不是不能出去玩，在說年輕人假如想出去玩，怎麼也擋不住吧！潔西年輕的時候也很愛玩啊，所以頗能理解學生的心情。不過真的要自己小心啊！找可以信賴的人一起去，不要貪杯喝太多，不要被激就拼酒，不要雞尾酒好喝就一杯接一杯，有些酒就是把妹酒啊，甜甜酸酸好喝但是酒精濃度高。幾杯就醉了。還有很恐怖的就是 tequila shots 龍舌蘭酒，就40%的酒倒在小酒杯跟鹽巴還有檸檬角一起端上來。把鹽灑在虎口，先舔一口鹽，拿起小酒杯，大家乾，一口氣喝完，再吃一口檸檬角。超帥，氣氛有超high。而且這樣喝其實感覺不到他的後勁。等到來個幾輪之後，沒酒量的人早就不省人事。要喝酒先確認有信賴的人在旁邊好好照顧你，送你回家再喝。潔西從前有點酒量就是早年靠兩個加拿大友人練出來的。每個星期跟他們去喝酒，也不會讓潔西喝太多，喝多一點時就不斷灌潔西水，然後送潔西上計程車回家。假如沒有可以照顧你的朋友在身邊，還是別喝吧！
另外也不要貪小便宜啊。上回在捷運聽到兩個穿著清涼的辣妹在說跟男友分手了，找了個冤大頭，管接管送還送禮物，雖然不喜歡也沒關係，很好用等找到下個再甩掉。現在的妹妹作風大膽啊，在捷運上很開心地大聲的這麼說，小心夜路走多了，哪天遇到個潑硫酸或刺一刀的很恐怖的啊。幫別人養老婆不是每個男人都會心甘情願的，弄不好，可能出大事啊。另外順便提醒一下，跟外國人做語言交換，學英文之類的，麻煩千萬不要到男生家去，在外面星巴克小麥甚至公園都可以。這是朗文現代字典裡面的例句 He came round for a coffee and we ended up in bed together. 他來借糖，我們最後就上床了。怎麼會知道用下半身思考男生的腦袋在想什麼呢？(男生看到不要打潔西啊，這是不可否認的事實啊！)有一次潔西學生跟潔西說她要去跟一個外國人作語言交換，在他家。馬上被潔西制止。在外面沒關係，不要去他家。防人之心不可無啊！雖然這世界上好人也不少，但吃虧上當後就來不及了啊。
另外潔西想說的另外一個盲點就是男生常常會用假如你不給我就是不愛我這種狗屁不通的話，Life is short. Just have fun. 生命很短暫，就是要開心啊！真正愛你的男人是不會勉強你的，會勉強你的男人也就不值得你愛了。沒有什麼外國人比較開放，就一定要跟他發生關係才有辦法維持感情這回事，喜歡你的人自然會有耐心等到你說願意，假如你在猶豫的時候離開的人，擺明了就是要你的身體，那也不用覺得可惜。
有勇敢的女生說，沒關係，男生可以玩，我為什麼不能玩？潔西的忠告是，你確定你玩得起嗎？男生跟女生是兩種截然不同的生物。Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus 男生來自火星，女人來自金星，這本書可以去讀一下。男生有生理上的衝動跟需要，就一定要的時候找誰都可以那種真的不是女人可以理解的。對他們而言，性就是性。女生可不同了，一但發生關係後，整個人就陷下去，突然想到Stockholm Syndrome 斯德歌爾摩症候群就是說被綁架的人最後愛上綁架他的人，尤其以女性居多。感情真的是很微妙，不過假如一個男人對你很糟，打你罵你最後你還要幫他說話，這就是你的問題了，請用大腦啊，女孩們。男生常常可能是因為我需要你，所以我跟你發生關係。女生是因為我愛你我喜歡你，所以我跟你發生關係。這中間的差距天地之別。所以假如沒有事先講好，事發後的落差，就會形成誰騙誰這種慘狀。可是這種事不是三言兩語可以事先說的請楚的，所以，唉，大家自己三思而後行啊！
潔西覺得女生對於男生的期望不要太高，就知道，男人就是男人啊。讓他們慢慢地贏得你的信任 earn your trust。跟外國人交往的時候不要用一些他是外國人，所以就比較開放，比較這個比較那個來幫他找藉口。不必要有外國人比較開放之類的刻板印象sterotype，想想看假如他是台灣人，你又會怎麼做呢？教戰手冊寫了很多天終於寫出來。呵呵，什麼教戰手冊，也不過就是提醒純真的同學防人之心不可無，這樣子而已。希望對同學還有在跟外國人交往的網友有點幫助。外國人絕對有不少好人，潔西也有些朋友是有外國老公外國老婆，很多好人。但說真的，趁剛畢業來台灣玩玩順便工作賺點錢，或是在他們國家工作久了倦怠，或是找不到好工作，來外面見見世面，來玩玩只是待個一兩年就走的外國人其實佔大多數。真的有心於英語教學的有，真的更少，在台灣待很多年的外國同事跟潔西抱怨說找不到女友，人家看到他外國人就是他是來把妹的get girls，因為有很多老鼠屎啊。怎麼知道遇到的是好人還是老鼠屎，用自己的心用自己的眼睛好好的觀察，不要盲目於甜美的愛情中，聽聽周遭的人的建議，應該是看得清楚的，女性當自強啊！

Writing the paragraph and the short composition Fifth Edition Kathleen E. Sullivan
a. Fragments 片段：片段的意思指的是不完整的句子。英文一個完整的句子需要有主詞有動詞，而且語意完整。在寫作的時候要注意不要寫出片段。
下列左邊的片落都少了一些東西，按照右邊的解釋寫出錯誤的地方。
____1. Because I was late for school a. no subject 沒有主詞
____2. A big, new building next to the river b. prepositional phrase 介系詞片語
____3. After the three o’clock school bell c. no verb 沒有動詞
____4. Played tennis every day last summer d. subordinate clause從屬子句
b. 閱讀下列文章，找出與標點，大小寫，時態，冠詞，單複數，片段的錯誤，並改正。
I would like to introduce myself. My name is Nancy Lee, and I am from Taiwan. I grow up in the countryside. When I was in high school, my family moved to Taipei. Because my father changed jobs.

Especially old, romantic movies, like “Gone with the Wind.” I am a sophomore in college, I take my studies seriously. I am a business major, and I am also studying Spanish. I want to be a international businesswoman. My dream is work for a big company and live in Spain.
3. look用在刻意轉移視線去看某個東西，盯著某件事物。比方說潔西要你們看課本的圖片時：Please look at the picture on page 15 in your book. 請看你書上十五頁的圖。通常只用一個字Look! 是要某人看，注意某件事物。假如後面有對象或事物的時候，就必須要用look at這個片語。look常跟其他介系詞結合成片語。look up to someone尊敬某人，look down on someone輕視某人，look for尋找，look out小心，look forward to期待。

look 可以用進行式

2015/10/30 一早五點二十起床，發現昨天改到一半的文章居然不見了，唉呀。再重新寫囉。不知為何這篇的點閱率目前最高，不過呢，學生在國外還有上過會話班的同學都有提到 Google 到這一篇。時態實在有點難，不過花點時間還是可以大致上弄得清楚的。有再修了一下，希望可以表達得更清楚:)
參考書籍：American English File 3, Oxford Practice Grammar, Grammar Express
這裡因為做比較跟區別，所以最前面放例句，然後是句型，接下來是使用的時機。再來是混合的練習題。題目做多了真的會比較有概念。另外潔西自己在動詞的不同形態方面比較偷懶，原形動詞用 V1 表示，過去式動詞 past tense，也就是動詞的第二態用 V2 表示，動詞的第三態也就是過去分詞 past participle 則用 V3 來表示，而現在分詞 present participle 則用 V-ing 來表示。應該只有潔西自己這樣用，覺得比較好記，看得時候知道就好了。
這下面是原本的，跟上面一樣，只是上面有說明，所以就多放一次
A. 過去簡單式Past Simple:主要就是在描述過去發生的某件事情。記得用主詞跟動詞的過去式。說過去的事情最常用的就是過去簡單式。
It all happened very quickly. The car came straight out of the side road, and the van went into the back of it. The Van driver didn’t have a chance. It was the car driver’s fault. 一切發生的非常快。那台汽車直接從旁邊衝出來，而那台貨車撞到汽車的後面。貨車司機完全沒有機會(閃避)。是汽車司機的錯。
b. 描述過去發生的事情，當一個持續進行的動作被另一個短暫的動作打斷，持續進行的動作用過去進行式，短暫打斷動作的用過去簡單式。
They were driving too fast when they crashed.
c. 過去簡單式常用來講一個故事中的動作。
We arrived at the beach.
B. 過去進行式Past Continuous：用來說明過去某個時間正在進行的動作，持續的動作。句型用主詞加上was/were再加上動詞加ing。S + was/were + V-ing
I had a wonderful dream last night. I was sitting in a park. The sun was shining, and the birds were singing. Children were playing and laughing. It was very peaceful. I didn’t want to wake up. 我做天晚上做了個美夢。我在公園坐著。太陽閃耀地照著，鳥兒在唱歌。小孩們說說笑笑。非常的寧靜。我一點都不想醒來。
1. 句型Forms：主詞＋Be動詞的過去式(was/were)＋動詞-ing (S + Be2 + V-ing)
A: What were you doing at six o’clock last night?
B: I was watching TV. I wasn’t studying. My parents were watching TV with me.
2. 使用時機Use:
a. 過去進行式用在表達過去某個時間持續進行的動作。強調動作的過程。
I was eating lunch at 12.30.
I was eating lunch while he was reading.
b. 描述過去發生的事情，當一個持續進行的動作被另一個短暫的動作打斷，持續進行的動作用過去進行式，短暫打斷動作的用過去簡單式。
I was crossing the street when the driver honked his horn.
c. 過去進行式常用來講一個故事中的背景
The sun was shining.
所以說故事的時候，故事的背景會用過去進行式，描述內容的時候會用過去簡單式。
C. 過去完成式Past Perfect：描述過去的兩件事情中先發生的第一件事，或是用來說過去某個時間點前發生的事。完成式都是用來表示一件事情發生在另外一件事情之前，所以假如只有單純的描述過去發生的某件事就只要用過去簡單式就可以，這時候不需要用過去完成式。也就是說當描述過去發生了兩件事時，先發生的事會用過去完成式，後發生的會用過去簡單式來表達。
I felt really tired when I took the train to work yesterday because Sarah and I had been to a party the evening before. We hadn’t gone to bed until after one. I hadn’t been on the train long when I had a bit of shock. I suddenly realized that I had left my wallet at home. Then I began to wonder. Had I left it in the office the day before? I just couldn’t remember. I wanted to go back to bed. I felt awful. 我昨天搭火車上班的時候覺得很累因為莎拉跟我前一個晚上去了一個派對。我們到一點鐘才上床睡覺。我上火車沒多久就嚇到。我突然發現我把錢包忘在家裡。然後我開始懷疑。我是前一天忘在辦公室了嗎？我就是記不起來。我很想回床上睡覺。我覺得糟透了。
1. 句型Forms：主詞＋had＋過去分詞 (S + had + V3)
When they turned on the TV, the game had finished. (比賽在打開電視前就開始了)
They hadn’t gone home until late.
Where had he put his wallet?
2. 使用時機Use:
a. 過去完成式用來表達跟過去另外一個事件間的關係。用來表達某件事情發生在過去某個時間點前。
By 1933 Oprah Winfrey had become famous.
b. 描述過去的兩件事情，先發生的用過去完成式，後發生的用過去簡單式。
By the time I got there, the flight had left.
c. 當兩件事情間的關係很清楚的時候，比方說用before, after, as soon as連接句子時，可以兩件事情都用過去簡單式。
The man had arrived at the store before it opened.
The man arrived at the store before it opened.
特別注意句子的時態往往會影響到句子的意思。留意下面幾個句子的不同
1. When John arrived, they had diner. 當約翰抵達後，他們吃晚餐。
(First John arrived. Then they had dinner.) 約翰先抵達，然後他們再吃晚餐。
2. When John arrived, they were having dinner.當約翰抵達時，他們正在吃晚餐。
(When John arrived, they were in the middle of dinner.)
3. When John arrived, they had had dinner. 當約翰抵達時，他們已經吃完晚餐。
(They had dinner before John arrived.) 在約翰抵達前，他們已經吃完晚餐。
4. When I switched the TV on, the program started. I was just in time.
當我打開電視，節目開始演出。我剛好來得及。(我先開電視，節目才開始)
5. When I switched the TV on, the program had started. I missed the beginning.
E. Combine the two sentences. Use the verb in bold in the past continuous or past perfect.
把粗體字的動詞改為過去進行式或過去完成式，把兩個句子結合成一個句子。
Sarah took a nap from 3:00 to 5:00. Peter picked up the tickets at 4:00.

F. Complete the sentences with the correct form of the verbs in the parentheses. Use the simple past (e.g., I went), past continuous (e.g., I was going), or past perfect (e.g., I had gone). 把括號裡面的動詞用正確的時態完成句子。

I created an account on this site just to tell you how fucking awesome you’re interpretation of the song is. I had a similar thought when listening to this song but I couldn’t even come close to articulating all of what you said. Very well well done.
我在這個網頁開了一個帳號就是要告訴你對這首歌的詮釋真的是他媽的太厲害了。當我聽這首歌的時候我有類似的想法，但是我一點也沒法像你說的那樣把這意思說出來。幹得好。
聽歌
歌詞翻得沒有很好，就差強人意。知道大意看英文比較容易囉:)

今天一進學校，主管看到潔西就說，你今天頭髮去 Set to 日語還台語啊，就去做頭髮的意思，有吹過這樣。沒有啊，潔西說，早上起床太晚出門的時候頭髮還亂翹根本沒理它。真的嗎？主管不相信地看著潔西，真的沒有特別吹嗎？沒有啊。大人啊，冤枉啊！今天淡水風很大，是被淡水的天然吹風機吹的吧，呵呵。潔西開玩笑地說。到洗手間照鏡子的時候看了一下，恩，今天風超大的，居然把頭髮吹的順順的，今天根本連梳子都沒拿出來過，應該是就風大被風吹的亂七八糟的時候用手理一理。天然牌吹風機真好用。睡覺去。晚安:)
Practice makes perfect. 這是潔西最愛濫用成語之一，但也是事實。熟能生巧，再做個十次應該就很漂亮了。不過真的佩服賣饅頭的。一顆才不到20元，這麼難做。想想應該最後還是用買的比較實在，偶爾玩玩就好，就一個閑不住的個性整死自己啊！
還有一件事想寫，今天學到的新單字“影薄”，這什麼中文，看得懂嗎？起因是學生之一的名字被改了，還是不要寫出名字來好了，總之呢潔西在FB粉絲的留言中看到大家改他名字，為什麼呢？這去問PTT就對了，果然馬上找到答案，原來是有人覺得在整個團隊中他的存在感不強，然後引起熱烈討論，然後還被改照片，潔西笑到整個說不出話來，真的是可憐的學生，躺著也中槍。就每個人個性不同啊，這也是特色啊。然後就提影薄這個字不斷地被提出。恩，大概可以猜得出來意思，不過還是問一下Google大師，中文沒看到什麼太好的解釋，不過日文條目：影の薄い就蹦出來，一看，哎呀英文解釋得很清楚，in the background 在背景當中(應該就是當背景吧), not standing out 不突出, low profile 低調。這年頭低調也要被鄉民酸，真的是。然後剛剛不小心又看到一些八卦，哎呀，還是不要再看了。看不完，要學那三隻猴子。不看不聽不說。
最後說個第一次在托福的模擬考題中看到，然後最近在書上看到，然後剛剛發生的字叫做"flow"，中文翻做心流理論，就是當你很投入做某件事情時，就會忘了時間的存在，不知不覺時間就過去了，就忘我的意思。厚，居然三點了。潔西的flow在寫講義跟寫部落格出現頻率都超高。該睡了。睡前寫一下今天的This book will change your life。然後就不翻譯了。
Day 132: Today we can reveal that your luck number is: 12.
Incredible but true: Marsha Vranitsky’s lucky number is three. She has triplets, all born on the third of March 2003, from her third husband Rick. And: soon she will be 23! Luck is a beautiful and mysterious lady.
