這首 Faded 是先前翻過兩次，因為有人說翻太直，的確是，所以又翻了一次，還是有人不免，恩，You can please everyone, and it’s not necessary. 你不需要討好每個人，也不必要。所以潔西後來就把比較過分的留言直接刪掉了。真的世界很大，很多人有不同的翻譯，可以去看自己喜歡的。Alan Walker 也是喜歡這首歌的一部分是聽的人可以自己詮釋。有人喜歡潔西的翻譯，很開心，不喜歡的也沒關係，潔西會看情形檢討修改，真的是錯誤的地方，會改過來，也非常謝謝指教。但是潔西還蠻常直翻的，因為想說英文教學嗎，不過很多時候翻譯真的直譯跟意譯有蠻大的差別，就是台灣人看同一首中文歌，也會有不同的詮釋，所以潔西多是照自己喜歡的翻，有時候再修了一下，可能也還是差不了多少。老實說，有時候覺得很多人被網路免費資源寵壞了，翻譯需要花時間心力，上網站看翻譯也不用錢，不喜歡看這個版本就去看別的版本的翻譯，為什麼還要特意留言酸翻譯的人呢？這樣真的讓人很不想繼續翻下去。實際上被酸多了後來就比較少翻，真的還是會有影響的，雖然說應該不用太在意的。
這首歌混音的版本是網友要求，網友要求的歌其實潔西很少翻，不過這首歌剛好是混音，不太難，然後想說剛好可以把歌詞意思用錄影的方式講解，讓喜歡的人可以自己詮釋，這樣也不錯吧？這個混音版是 美國創作型饒舌歌手 Luke Christopher 所演唱的，雖然也翻得有點差，非常心虛。原本 Faded 演唱這首歌聲音很飄渺的是 Iselin Solheim ，是挪威創作型歌手，製作的 Alan Walker 是一半英國一半挪威的混血 DJ。關於這個 MV 維基有解釋了一下，不然潔西應該也看不出來，拍攝的地點是 Estonia 愛沙尼亞，前蘇聯的一部份。先前有核能廠。這個 MV 的男主角感覺就是設定在核爆後的殘骸，靠著照片找他的老家，最後找到已經夷為平地時，失望之餘把戴在臉上用來保護他不受周遭可能有的毒氣所殘害的面罩除下。MV大家其實已可以有不同想法。Alan Walker 這個造型其他 MV 也有出現，另外一首 Alone 也不錯聽。
資訊越氾濫人類越無知，聽起來很奇怪吧？用早上教學生的 The more…, the more … 的句型來說 The more information people have, the more ignorant they are. 但事實上就是如此。越來越多的標題農場 content farm，越來越多的 click bait 為了賺點擊率的標題。這些都沒什麼，最可怕的就是看人家講什麼就相信什麼的人，覺得網路上寫的都是對的，不去懷疑，看到是某某權威專家就完全相信。恩，就英文而言或考試技巧來說，有些人真的別人說什麼信什麼，潔西有時候會問學生說是在網路上看到的，但是作者是誰？什麼職業或專業背景？不知道。是該說台灣人太善良，容易相信別人，還是要感慨 critical thinking 批判性思考為什麼對台灣人來說這麼難？

剛好被問到有沒有被動的影片，沒有，下午剛好同學請假，有多的時間，其實還想睡的，不過還是做個影片，晚上再睡好了，星期六日的課還可以拖一下，之後再備。不過不知為何覺得講得有點口齒不清，因為原先有做好的講義，照著講義講，其實被動沒有很難，只是需要原本就對時態很清楚，時態沒記清楚的話，換成被動就更難懂了，可是時態非常清楚的話，改被動只要把動詞改成 be 動詞再加上過去分詞這樣代換而已，真的沒有很難。多多練習其實就會駕輕就熟了。

昨天看到有人搜尋的關鍵字是音標表，想說他點進來一定很失望，因為潔西不知為何一直沒做，都用別人的比較快，自己整理的沒有嘴型發音位置的音標表。昨天翻了一堆書，十幾本，沒有每一本都有圖，參考了其中幾本，最後還找出多年前要考研究所時念的筆記，最後參考了 Language Files 那本跟自己的筆記整理出來的，有些書會有不一樣的版本，實在很難定論，所以潔西參考算是語言學蠻有名的 Language Files 整理出來的。有錄影片，唸的音有跑掉的話請見諒。可以參考愛荷華大學的發音網站，潔西下次再來錄那篇。把嘴型練習好，發音就會比較標準喔，加油！
