LadyLee的學習筆記小行星

表達意見想法 (想、認為、覺得) 常見同義詞 ：(從感性到理性)

◾Feel (完全陳述自己沒有理性的感受): I feel that you are making fun of me.

◾Think (參雜個人想法但不一定是事實的感受): I think this is crazy.

◾Find (經過觀察後表示個人想法): You don't think it's funny? I find it very amusing!

◾Figure (經過思索後表示個人想法): I figure (that) it won't hurt to try.

◾Gather (有一些事實依據的猜測想法): I gather that you don't want to go.

當中 find 跟 find out，還有 figure 跟 figure out 的用法比較容易搞混。順便解釋一下。有加 out 這個字就是有出路的意思，所以想要有結果或得出結論的陳述才用 find out/figure out。例如：

◾I find him attractive, but then find out he is gay.

◾I figure it's useless, but later figure out how to make it work.

I believe (無論事實依據一廂情願的想法) I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky.

數百年来矗立在麗江古城中心的是「木府」,意即木氏住所;正是納西族的這個氏族在元,明,清三朝期間統治著麗江。木府建築採用最大族群漢族的風格为主,不過也可以看到納西族以及白族的影響。          
麗江也是一個可以欣賞自然風光的好地方·形似一頭睡醒的獅子山,就聳立在城鎮中央,山丘上的萬古樓讓人與周圍的村莊盡收眼底。此外還能看到赤道以北最南的雪山--玉龍雪山;此山海拔高達五千五百九十六公尺,讓有意攀登此峰的遊客得以飽覽令人讀嘆的美景。    
遊客也可以欣賞玉能雪山在黑傲潭中的倒影:該潭位於黑維潭公園,由泉水匯流而自然形成。  麗江的美景,歷史以及豐富文化無不使其成為一處讓人流連忘返的迷人景點。

The heart of Lijiang's Old Town for hundreds of years was the Mufu Palace, where the Mu clan lived. It was this clan of Naxi people that ruled Lijiang during the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The Mufu's architecture follows the style of the Han majority ethnic group. But you can see the Naxi and Bai people's influence.                          
Lijiang is also a great place to see the beauty of the natural world. Lion Hill, which resembles a sleeping lion, rises from the middle of the city. The Wangu Tower on the hill provides views of the Old Town and surrounding villages. The view also includes Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the most southern snow-capped mountain north of the equator. At 5,596 meters high, it offers an amazing view to those willing to climb it.                             
You can also see Jade Dragon Snow Mountain reflected in the waters of the Black Dragon Pool. This pool, located in Black Dragon Pool Park, is naturally formed where springs flow together. Lijiang's beauty, history and rich culture make it a fascinating place to visit.

然而, 這個應用程式的真正價值並不在於名人的加持；而是為四處尋找社群團體的人提供了好去處。現在, 人們擁有的線上朋友比過去任何時候都還多, 但卻仍舊感到寂寞。Clubhouse之所以能在眾多應用程式中脫穎而出, 主要是因為它能讓用戶彼此連結交流。用戶能開心分享共同愛好或是進行深入討論。他們會覺得被傾聽、被欣賞。少了視訊影片, 他們甚至可以拋開不安全感, 真實表達自己的感受。           然而, 在這個自由表達的安全空間中, 有些問題也會逐漸出現。有些人在可以暢所欲言的地方, 便會用自身自由。隨著Clubouse會員人數愈漸增加, 仇恨言論及不實消息儼然已成為一個問題。放眼未來, 最為至關重要的便是, Clubhouse必須找到方法追蹤討論及保護使用戶。這個應用程式很可能會持續帶來巨大影響。只有時間能證明該影響究竟是有益, 還是有害。
The real value of the app doesn't come from the famous names, however. It provides an answer to people who are seeking community.                 These days people have more online friends than ever yet are still lonely. Clubhouse stands out from other apps in the way it helps users engage with others. They can laugh over common interests or have deep discussions. They can feel heard and appreciated. Without video, they can even drop some of their insecurities and say what they're feeling.              Yet with this safe space for expression, problems can occur, too. In a place where you can say anything, some don't use their freedom rightly. Hateful speech and false statements have become a problem as Clubhouse's membership has grown. Moving forward, it is important for Clubhouse to find a way to track discussions and
protect users.               This app will likely continue to have a great impact. Only time will tell whether that impact is helpful or harmful.
