NTU GPTI 臺大翻譯碩士學位學程nderoptSosu76g02h5g14l6330gh25591369h2439562339222mua3t2macc  · Shared with Public期初座談會 (English to follow) 上周五舉行了新學期首次的大聚會，筆譯組與口譯組的師生齊聚一堂，既有充實的交流，學長們也得到提醒：畢業前有不少事情還要努力完成！兩組各自進行了座談，關懷新生、解答疑問。系主任高維泓教授鼓勵大家勇敢探索興趣。GPTI 的特色之一就是跨組學習；口譯組同學可以磨練筆譯，筆譯組同學也能挑戰口譯。今年暑假，筆譯組的潘柏廷到了臺灣亞州交流基金會實習，為一場討論移工政策的研討會提供了同步口譯，觀眾包含政府高層官員與國際智庫。而在這期間，口譯組的李冠慧則完成了福克納《熊》的筆譯工作。這些經驗體現出 GPTI 的理念：筆譯與口譯相輔相成。至於大家關心的 AI 話題，高主任提醒：再先進的科技也取代不了人類的理解力。媒體熱議的「口筆譯會被生成式 AI 淘汰」說法未必成真，反而代表未來的專業人才更需要懂得結合工具與直覺。范家銘教授也補充，專業口譯的難度只會越來越高。對未來的譯者來說，是挑戰也是機會--好好與GPTI的同學們互相扶持，並肩備戰!During the first big gathering of professors and students, Director Wei H. Kao encouraged first-year students to be bold in exploring their interests. One of GPTI’s unique features is that students can crossover their official track designation of Interpreting or Translation. This past summer, Cayce from the Translation track interned at the Taiwan-Asia Exchange Foundation. His responsibilities included providing simultaneous interpreting for high-ranking government officials and global think tanks at a symposium on migrant worker policies. Meanwhile, Erin from the Interpreting track finished translating William Faulkner’s 1942 novel “The Bear.” Cayce and Erin’s internships are examples of GPTI’s belief that the practice of interpreting and translating are mutually beneficial. No matter how advanced technology becomes, Professor Kao said, human comprehension remains vitally important. While popular media speculates almost gleefully that professional interpreters and translators will eventually being replaced by generative AI, it may be that T&I programs will actually become more important than ever as language specialists must seamlessly augment industry tools with human intuition. Interpreting tasks, Dr. Damien Fan said, are only going to get harder and harder. Be prepared!

“There are a lot of people who mistakenly think intelligibility is the standard. ‘Oh, you knew what I was saying.’ Well, that’s not the standard. That’s a really bottom-of-the-barrel standard,” he says. “People who are concerned with English usage usually want to have their words taken seriously, either as writers or as speakers. And if you don’t use the language very well, then it hard to have people take your ideas seriously. That’s just the reality.”

(the) Senior是指年紀很大的長輩，注意S要大寫、有the或省略才是指定用法。

Strictly speaking, a cell (cellular) phone is a mobile phone, but a mobile phone may not necessarily be a cell phone. "Cellular" refers to the network technology

The one clarifying term might be "my phone" - this would guarantee it to be a mobile phone, rather than a landline.

usage (n)USE (v)

It means the booth specifically, without any extra bits. By way of example: "Times Square" might often be used to refer to the area around Times Square, but may include things which are not actually part of the Square. To narrow such a usage, one might say "I mean only the actual Times Square" or "I mean Times Square proper."

are correctly set up:

AbstractThe first description of avian influenza (AI) dates back to 1878 in northern Italy, when Perroncito [Perroncito E. Epizoozia tifoide nei gallinacei. Annali Accad Agri Torino 1878;21:87–126] described a contagious disease of poultry associated with high mortality. The disease, termed “fowl plague”, was initially confused with the acute septicemic form of fowl cholera. However, in 1880, soon after its first description, Rivolta and Delprato [as reported by Stubs EL. Fowl pest, In: Biester HE, Devries L, editors. Diseases of poultry. 1st ed. Ames, IO: Iowa State College Press; 1943. p. 493–502] showed it to be different from fowl cholera, based on clinical and pathological properties, and called it Typhus exudatious gallinarum. In 1901, Centanni and Savunzzi [Centanni E, Savonuzzi E, La peste aviaria I & II, Communicazione fatta all’accademia delle scienze mediche e naturali de Ferrara, 1901] determined that fowl plague was caused by a filterable virus; however, it was not until 1955 that the classical fowl plague virus was shown to be a type A influenza virus based on the presence of type A influenza virus type-specific ribonucleoprotein [Schäfer W. Vergleichender sero-immunologische Untersuchungen über die Viren der Influenza und klassischen Geflügelpest. Z Naturf 1955;10b:81–91]. The term fowl plague was substituted by the more appropriate term highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) at the First International Symposium on Avian Influenza [Proceedings of the First International Symposium on Avian Influenza. Beltsville, MD. 1981, Avian Dis 47 (Special Issue) 2003.] and will be used throughout this review when referring to any previously described fowl plague virus.RésuméLa première référence à la grippe aviaire remonte à 1878 dans le nord de l’Italie, lorsque Perroncito [1] décrit une maladie contagieuse et hautement mortelle affectant la volaille. Cette maladie, appelée « peste aviaire »

台式英語: Could you kindly reply by Tuesday? (可以請你周二前回信給我嗎?) 道地英語: Could you reply by Tuesday? Or, if you want to be very polite: Would you be able to reply by Tuesday? 用法: 很多台灣人在書信往來中常常會寫 "please kindly" ，以為這樣更客氣，但其實kindly，一點也不kind。在英文的用法中，加上kindly代表一種警告，例如 “Please kindly refrain from smoking on the premises (請不要在這裡抽菸)”  若你想要禮貌一點，只需要用 "please" 或是用 "Could you 或 Would you be able to"

Learning English American Way

Usage seems to us peculiarly a matter of ear. Everyone has his own set of rules, his own list of horribles.

"Usage is trendy, arbitrary, and above all, constantly changing, like all other fashions--in clothing, music, or automobiles. Grammar is the rationale of a language; usage is the etiquette."​ 

In this book, grammar refers to the manner in which the language functions, the ways that the blocks of speech and writing are put together. Usage refers to using specific words in a manner that will be thought of as either acceptable or unacceptable. The question of whether or not to split an infinitive is a consideration of grammar; the question of whether one should use literally in a nonliteral sense is one of usage."

Replace 'log' with 'clock'; do you think it should be "clockin" because you aren't "clocking" anything? Plus, if 'login' was a verb, you'd not be logging in, but logining. Eww. Or, you'd have just logined instead of logged in.

I feel very happy about them indeed because they take me to the destinations they promise (they're all nouns). Login doesn't take me to my login, which makes me sad. It does take me to a place where I can log in, however.

"you can verb any noun". :) Though, comparing "ssh into a workstation" to "login to host.com", where "log in" exists, it's a bit like saying "entrance the building" when "enter the building" already works

Login is a noun, the same as breakup (suffer a breakup), backup (keep backups safe), spinoff (a Star Wars spinoff), makeup, letdown,

Steer, of course, can also be a noun that refers to male cattle. This meaning is unrelated to the expression steer clear.

Confusingly, if the police suspect you of a crime, you can be described as a “suspicious person” and if you constantly suspect others of crimes, you can also be called “suspicious.”

It never makes sense to say “I am suspect that. . . .”

Anti-Features

In agent-oriented programming the antonym is depender, though in general usage the common term dependent is used instead. There is no common language equivalent for dependee', however – other metaphors are used instead, such as parent/child. The circumlocutions “A depends on B” and “B is depended on by A” are much more common in general use than “A is the depender, B is the ' dependee ”.

Here's what 20 seconds of googling turned up: University of Rochester Grammar Style Guide oh hey look, a stackoverflow thread The truth about grammar: bailout versus bail out and there are so many more...

I think the conjugation is particularly helpful to see why it should be two separate words: "log in" -> "logging in" -> "logged in"

The verb set up, on the other hand, is usually found as an open compound (two words, no hyphen) in both American and British English.

It’s a “bug” and you “fix” it - so properly, in English, it’s a “bug fix” - but very often it’s shortened to “bugfix”.

The exception, again, is the New York Times, where the one-word form is rare even on the blogs.

the spelling "Web site" (and the less questionable "web site") is an anachronism from the 1990s that is still in use by the NYT and some other conservative print media in the US while most others (including the online sections of the NYT!) today use "website".

Website is not a proper noun (as opposed to the Internet), hence not capitalized.

English tends to build new compound nouns by simply writing them as separate words with a blank. Once the compound is established (and the original parts somewhat "forgotten"), it's often written as one word or hyphenated. (Examples: shoelaces, aircraft...)

Web site / website seems to be somewhat in a transitional stage, being seen as an "entity" that web page hasn't reached yet. Depending on which dictionary you check you will find web site and website, but only web page, not webpage.

A website (also written as web site)

Because they're more integrated and try to serialize an incomplete system (e.g. one with some kind of side effects: from browser/library/runtime versions to environment to database/API changes), they will tend to have high false-negatives (failing test for which the production code is actually fine and the test just needs to be changed). False negatives quickly erode the team's trust in a test to actually find bugs and instead come to be seen as a chore on a checklist they need to satisfy before they can move on to the next thing.
