I choose to think of it as the pre-chorus now typically the pre-chorus comes after the verse and before the chorus here there is no chorus that follows it it just goes straight into verse two but that's not totally unheard of in pop music and rock and things like that and the next time the pre-chorus happens it does lead into the chorus so I justify that
pre-chorus 前副歌
通常銜接副歌，但此處第一次出現後，又立即回到主歌。這在流行曲和搖滾樂並不少見。

so so far the whole tune has been an unnatural minor but in that verse Paul McCartney switches from a natural minor to e Dorian mode and the two scales are a little bit different so here's a Dorian mode it's identical to E natural minor except for this this sixth scale degree so an e natural minor it's C natural you need Dorian it's C sharp and that's a subtle change but it does change the mood quite a bit
mode 調式
Dorian 多利安調式，最接近 Aeolian/自然小調，但是較不全盤悲傷憂鬱，因為有那一個突出的升高半音的第六音。
想想 Scarborough Fair 的第二個樂句，本來以爲是自然小調，但聽到 35653#423 -> 應換成多利安來思考，於是變成 61216756 （不再有臨時升降記號）。全曲應該改成多利安調式的思考：第一樂句於是從自然小調 663337176 變成 226663432。很妙吧！

Don't specialize, hybridize October 31, 2022 · 2 minute read Specialization is too heavily encouraged as a career path. Becoming a generalist is one alternative, but there is another path less discussed: become a hybrid. The hybrid path means developing expertise in two or more distinct areas. Having several specialities allows you to see patterns that no one else can see, and make contributions that no one else would think of. The world needs more hybrid people. Specialization is attractive. Many famous people you know are specialists. Specialization feels like the only way to pick the high-hanging fruit in fields where the low branches are bare. Specialization feels like a more predictable and measurable path. The world needs more hybrid people because the world is getting more complex. Specialists are important because they help us push the limits in each field. But we also need people who can see the big picture, find unexpected connections, and guide the world’s efforts.

Ancient builders developed several Orders, or rules, for the design and proportion of buildings, including the columns. Doric is one of the earliest and most simple of the Classical Orders set down in ancient Greece. An Order includes the vertical column and the horizontal entablature.
order
cf wiki : Doric order
The Doric order was one of the three orders of ancient Greek and later Roman architecture; the other two canonical orders were the Ionic and the Corinthian. The Doric is most easily recognized by the simple circular capitals at the top of columns. Originating in the western Doric region of Greece, it is the earliest and, in its essence, the simplest of the orders, though still with complex details in the entablature above.

NO TRADITION IS sacred—not even trick-or-treating. In recent Halloween festivities, many Americans switched to trunk-or-treating. Instead of going door-to-door on neighbourhood streets, children shuffled between cars in parking lots and collected candy from their open boots, which were bedecked by giant spiders and terrible ghouls. It was the latest demonstration of something that has long been true: cars have a remarkably tight grip on American life. America is far more car-reliant than any other big country, averaging roughly two vehicles per household. This, in turn, is linked to many ills: obesity, pollution, suburban sprawl and so on.沒有什麼傳統是神聖不可改變的，就連“不給糖就搗蛋”也不例外。在最近的萬聖節活動中，許多美國人把它改成了“後備箱討糖”。孩子們不再在街區里挨家挨戶地敲門，而是在停車場的汽車之間穿梭，從裝飾着巨型蜘蛛和可怕鬼怪的敞開的後備箱裡收集糖果。這再次反映了長期以來的一個事實：汽車在美國人的生活中擁有驚人的支配力。美國對汽車的依賴遠遠超過任何其他大國，平均每個家庭大約擁有兩輛車。而這又與許多弊病相關聯：肥胖、污染、郊區無序擴張等。

Verification, analytical validation, and clinical validation (V3): the foundation of determining fit-for-purpose for Biometric Monitoring Technologies (BioMeTs)
驗證、分析驗證和臨床驗證（V3）：確定生物測量技術（BioMeTs）是否合適用途的基礎。 #gpt
這裡，GPT 把verification、validation 都翻做「驗證」。我覺得verification是初步驗證、確認安全，validation是在verification基礎上，確立該方法一定的有效度。也許，臨時起意的話，validate我會翻「驗證/確立/確證/證明 有效」。
另外，會起意查詢validate這個特別用法，是因爲iOS Health app中，出現如「<某某測量/方法/app> is validated for <age group>」的說明。見官網。

Is Downloading Videos from YouTube and Other Sites LegalAnother common concern about 4K Video Downloader is whether it is legal to download videos from YouTube and other sites. The answer is yes, but with some caveats. According to the Fair Use Doctrine, it is legal to download videos for personal use, such as watching them offline or creating a backup copy. However, it is illegal to distribute or share downloaded videos without the consent of the copyright owner.

Because peak means the top, the maximum, it's possible to understand how people, even professional writers, confuse it with pique, as in the following examples: Revealing this new information to the police peaks their interest and now paints Shaw as a person of interest in Sophie's disappearance. (Washington Times) Sharon said he comes across many people who don't think opera is for them, but he hopes hearing about these kinds of "audacious experiments" will peak their interest. (Time)
If Washington Times and Time writers got it wrong, it's no wonder a transciptionist for Amanpour and Company did too:

著名的恐怖谷理論描述，人類面對與人形越相近的物體好感度就越高，但是當物體與人高度相似，卻又帶有一絲非人的氣息，好感度則會突然下降轉為排斥。同樣的現象是否也出現在文字？當我們從資訊類文本移動到表達類文本，也代表文風越貼近人性，但在展現人性的關鍵時刻，AI文字卻有種莫名的突兀感。
