I am always following podcasts published by English-language radio stations in Australia, Malaysia and Singapore. Good Urban Days, a Taiwanese Mandarin podcast programme discussing about the life in Kaohsiung, is also my favourite recently. I know I am not that hardworking to work on recordings everyday. A brief thought about giving it a try did appear though. Continue reading “何不自行錄製影音或純音檔玩一玩 How about playing with video or audio recordings”

居家辦公亦非絕對完美 Shortcomings of working from home

2020年可謂是一個千瘡百孔的年份。馬來西亞與新加坡陷入數十年未見的經濟衰退，很多公司鼓勵員工居家辦公，目標就是減少每天通勤上下班的人數，以減少人員接觸進而阻斷新冠肺炎感染鏈。

對於以往習慣了每天上下班通勤的上班族而言，忽然之間不需要開車搭車在交通尖峰時段塞在上下班的路上，而且每天早上八九點打開筆記型電腦登入公司系統就等於開始上班，真的太好了。以往必須調鬧鐘六七點起身盥洗之後就趕著出門上班，如今7點55分醒來開電腦，8點登入系統之後再去盥洗、吃早餐，工作可以慢慢來，因為省下了很多通勤的時間。 Continue reading “居家辦公亦非絕對完美 Shortcomings of working from home”

英格蘭左衛之實話實說 Refreshingly honest England left-back

It was several years ago when I read this book. Thanks to the former England defender’s vivid and honest account, I still remember some of the contents. I was following Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers when both clubs were at the top of their form. That was the time when I noticed the good performance of Graeme Le Saux, particularly the time when he and his teammates put on the British brand Umbro’s England jersey.

昇哥，您要唱下去！Bobby, keep it up!


昨天一早朋友就傳來相當驚駭的消息：陳昇因為剛剛切除口腔腫瘤而必須取消今年年底的2021跨年演唱會。這消息對昇迷來說，絕對是非常震撼的，因為昇哥的跨年連續唱了26年，每逢年底迎新除舊都會跟歌迷一起度過，今年大家都祇好忍痛退票，希望昇哥好好療養之後明年年底的2022跨年演唱會帶著樂團一起高歌。 Continue reading “昇哥，您要唱下去！Bobby, keep it up!”

不寫不寫還須寫 Writing as sure as eggs is eggs

自從兩年前在工作網站上 KeithYeow.com 撰寫關於翻譯與文案工作的心得，就甚少再花時間寫一些跟工作沒有關係的文章。一來是有些心野，可能想嘗試玩一下錄製粵語或英語的網上節目，二來是除了工作以外，對其他事務的看法沒有化為文字了。

這麼一擱置下來，中文寫作自然會生疏，尤其覺得自己用字好像怪怪的，因為每次下筆都會先想英文。也許是因為太過習慣寫中譯英的案子，就連廣告文案都是客戶要求我根據中文版本重新創譯一份英文版，由此可見我已經很少寫中文了。 Continue reading “不寫不寫還須寫 Writing as sure as eggs is eggs”
