我在美國上大學跟研究所的回憶,就是只要跟學術扯的上邊的課程,就超級,超級無聊。所以當我看到 Youtube 上這門學術寫作課程的時候,我根本不想看。
但這個學術寫作影片居然有兩百萬的點擊!
我們就一起來看看,到底是為什麼。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
✍️ 1. 教授從一開頭就用 surprise opening
教授一開始的重點,就已經教我們把思考「反過來」:
Most schools teach writing to freshmen. Not us - we teach it to faculty. Because we've found that as students come into college and gain knowledge, they become WORSE writers.
Faculty members are the worst. So we target them.
他們發現,大一進來的學生其實很多寫作能力不差。反而是那些經過多年學術洗禮的教授們,寫出來的東西越來越爛。
所以他們要教的不是學生,而是教授。很多讓人記憶深刻的演講,都有這種「把思考模式倒過來」的點,從 Sir Ken Robinson 在 TED 的演講說學校是抹殺小孩創意的地方,到「被討厭的勇氣」。如果你的思考模式跟別人正好相反,這就變成非常好的演講開場。
我完全同意他的觀察。我經歷美國好幾個高等學府:兩所大學 (因為轉學)、研究所、然後在國際科學組織跟一對大牌教授共事六年,也發現:學術地位跟溝通能力,沒有特別大的正向關係。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
✍️ 2. 你要放在心上的不是規則,而是讀者
他說很多學術寫作,都只關心規則 (rules):看其他學者從以前到現在是怎麼寫的,有什麼明定的規則或是潛在的行規?
這些基礎的寫作元素當然重要! 但其實呢,進階寫作的人最需要放在心上的不是規則,而是讀者 (readers)。
除非你寫的是重複性很高的而且有跡可循的,如法律文件,不然光是遵守「規則」其實沒什麼用。他這裡用了一個厲害的溝通者的 favorite trick:介紹兩個對立的 ideas:rules vs. readers,而且兩個都是 r 開頭,形成一對。
為什麼要 focus 在讀者呢?
★★★★★★★★★★★★
✍️ 3. 學術寫作的出發點,跟讀者的出發點常常不同!
很多學術界的人寫作的方式,是用寫作來「思考」:邊寫邊想。
可是,當他們的作品到了讀者面前,讀者肯定會用「自己的思考模式」來閱讀。
所以讀者才會時常看不懂。他用圖片中的「視覺」呈現 writer 跟 reader 看 text 的不同角度。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
✍️ 4. 如果你的寫作沒有帶來價值,其他的都不重要!
他回憶有一次,一位研究生跑到他的辦公室,跟他大聲抱怨,說他寫的論文都邏輯清楚而且很有說服力,但外面的期刊都不願意刊登。
他告訴這位學生:**如果你寫的東西沒有給讀者帶來價值,**那多「清楚」或是「具說服力」,一點也不重要。
這位教授分享,為何這個點對於學術界的人來說,如此難理解:
In academic settings, people are PAID to read your stuff. But once you step outside into the world, this isn't true anymore. Readers out there will only read your stuff if they think it's valuable.
沒錯,大學是「付錢」給教授來看你的東西的!所以他們才會願意看,不然誰那麼無聊,花一整天看學生和其他教授寫的東西!?
在外面的世界,就沒有這麼好的事了:你的東西一定要提供價值。其實演講也是一樣。如果你的演講沒有帶來附加價值,就別說了。所以我們公司 Presentality 的中文才會叫做「核心觀點」:因為必須有一個有價值的核心觀點帶給聽眾。
★★★★★★★★★★★★

*實用(不雅)英語*
剛剛向菲爾報告台灣政情,八卦一下昨晚有人急急忙忙跑去懷遠堂坐在車子裡等,他先是說 He what? 然後不可克制大笑起來。我常跟妳說英國首相那個蠢蛋,什麼都搞砸還整天做一些他自以為很聰明的傻事粉飾自己,其實就只是在 polishing a turd.
中文有很好的翻譯,糞土之牆不可污也,你就是插一朵鮮花在上面也是臭不可聞。
Turd
1. a lump of excrement.
2. a person regarded as obnoxious or contemptible.
Polishing a turd
To fix, repair, repaint, shine or do other things to something that isn't worthy - but you have to do it for one reason or another. Because the basic fact is no matter what you do to a turd - polish it, paint it, give it bling - it's still a turd, and there is nothing you can do about that underlying fact.

海洋是個廣闊無窮的美麗好地方,蘊涵著無數的驚奇,除了承載著海洋生態以外,陸地生態也與之息息相關。我們的海洋調節著氣候、氧氣、溫度。人類需要海洋才得以生存。
很不幸的,由於我們的疏失,海洋現在需要我們的幫助。氾濫的塑膠垃圾、海水溫度上升、過渡捕撈、海洋酸化、工業與農業用化學品排放海中等等。基本上,所有的海洋生物都的生存都受到了威脅。這不是杞人憂天,而是現在進行式的事實。
我學習PADI 潛水課程的原因,因為淺層海水生態系在滅絕。珊瑚白化,魚兒都被捕撈走了,表層海水了無生氣不像過去那般值得探索,想看看海中生態,需要進入更深的水中,這是全世界都面臨的問題,在台灣,同樣的危機也在發生。
時間尚未太晚,生命富有韌性。海洋尚存一線生機,但還能撐多久?我建議大家安排一趟旅程看看水下的世界,理由如下:
1)時間所剩無幾,海洋正在產生劇變,現在會是短期可預見的未來中,您有機會見到的最佳海洋樣貌。現在上路吧!當我們還看得到些什麼的時候。
2)看看海洋的真實樣貌,或許能改變您對消費以及丟棄產品的想法,或許能改變您對社會及經濟運作方式想法,我們該如何衡量價值?若每一位CEO以及政治人物都被要求潛入海中看看,或許這世界有機會變得不一樣!
我這次去了小琉球學水肺潛水。小琉球除了很簡單容易到之外,因地理位置關係,水溫及浪況整年都適合潛水。我的教練是NEMO,他很專業也很注重安全細節,而且中文、英文都沒問題。如果你有興趣想知道更多資訊或是安排來一趟體驗潛水,我非常建議與他聯絡,臉書連結在下面這邊:島氮潛水社 Playful Dive Club

The oceans are a vast and amazing wonderland. They hold uncountable wonders and support not only marine life, but all all life on land as well. Our oceans regulate the weather, oxygen, temperature. We need our oceans to survive.
Unfortunately, due to our negligence, the oceans need us to survive now as well. They are under threat from plastic pollution, rising temperatures, over fishing, and acidification from atmospheric CO2 absorption, and chemical runoff from industry and agriculture. Almost all marine species are under threat. That's not an exaggeration. That is the reality.
I studied for my PADI SCUBA diving license because the ocean life on the surface is disappearing. The reefs are bleaching, the fish have all been fished, and there isn't as much to see as there used to be. To see healthy ocean life now, we need to go deeper. This is the case all over the world, but it's also the case here in Taiwan.
It's not too late. Life is tenacious. The ocean is hanging on. But for how much longer? I recommend that everyone takes a trip underwater now. For two important reasons.
1) Time is running out. The oceans are changing. This is the best it will it be in the near future. Go now while you still can.
2) To see the oceans how they really are. It may change your opinion about how we consume and dispose of products. It may change your opinion about how we run our society, and economy. What is it we really value? The world would be a very different place is every CEO and every politician was required to go SCUBA diving.
I studied on Xiaoliuqiu, which is a convenient place to SCUBA dive because the water temperature is good, and the island is protected from waves, so you can go diving all year round. My instructors name was Nemo, he's very safe and professional, and can teach in both English and Chinese. If you would like to know more, or go on a discovery dive, I highly recommend contacting him. You can find his FB above.:

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
迷いの森にあるほんとう 探しに行く月のひかり
羊歯を踏んで足を濡らして ひたりほとり夏の小道
よく笑って泣いて見つめあって おそるおそる恋に堕ちた
ふたり歩き出した違う方へ 呼び合う声だけもどかしく
find me in the wonderland
そろそろ手を汚して 自分の欲しいものを 追いかけてみる
みつあみをほどいて 同じ星を齧る ふたりになる
寂しがって夜になって まだ明るい夢のほとり
食べかけで残した心だって ここから始まるうたになる
世界は君のものさ、どこへ行こうか、貴方は笑う
踏み外してみようか、後ろめたさが私を誘う
find me in the wonderland
どうしたって 生まれ変わるほどの 強い意志が必要だわ
慎重ないのちだった 私だけじゃ道は見つからない
星を数え繋ぎ合わせ まだ知らない夏の星座
見つめあって泣いて朝になって ここから始まる物語
もう一人じゃないのよ、夢のようでしょ、私は歌う
寂しさはひるがえり旗の元へと二人は集う
何も思い通りにならないことが始まったから
踏み外してみようか、目隠し鬼の手の鳴る方へ
in your wonderland
あなたが迷う場所に あかりを灯すために
花束一つ抱いて りりしく笑いましょう
もう一人じゃないのよ、とても怖いね、幸せなんて
寂しさはひるがえり旗の元へと二人は集う
世界は君のものさ、手が届いてあなたがいて
踏み外してみようか、愛するひとが私を誘う
find me in the wonderland
in your wonderland
綺麗な吐息になって
あなたの歌をうたって
中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
皎潔的月光為我照亮此行、於迷幻之森捕獵真心
踩踏著草蕨、潤濕了雙足,行於令人陶醉的夏日小徑岸邊
曾互相歡笑、哭泣、注視彼此,才使得我們惶恐地墜入愛戀
卻漸漸步入相異路途,竟連呼喊之聲都令人無比焦躁
請步入仙境尋覓迷失的我吧
雙手漸漸開始沾染污穢,試著放縱自身索求慾望
解開扎起的髮辮,成為共食星斗的戀人,相濡以沫
寂寞的心、鋪張的夜色,仍遊走於璀璨的夢的畔邊
早已被啃咬殘缺的心,將自此幻化為歌謠
「你已擁有了全世界,我們要去哪呢?」你莞爾而笑
「要不試著背離正道呢?」罪惡感正如此略誘著我
請步入仙境尋覓孤單的我吧
尚須一份不論如何都欲潰爛重生的強烈意志
曾嚴謹拘束的生命,卻僅自身無法尋見方向
細數繁星、相相連繫,嘗試探尋尚不知悉的夏季星座
彼此相視而泣直至天明,兩人的故事自此展開
「我已不再孤身一人,就彷彿夢一般對吧?」我唱著
寂寥的心隨風飄揚,使彼此相遇於同面旗下
乃因不如己意才使得兩人的生命交織展開
不妨背離正道、作個矇眼鬼循向掌鳴之處
步向有你所處的仙境
僅為了在你迷失之地,綻亮一絲光芒
我將為此獻上花束,兩人一同凜然而笑吧
「我已不再孤身一人,但這份幸福仍會讓人感到恐懼吧?」
寂寥的心隨風飄揚,使彼此相遇於同面旗下
「你已擁有了全世界。」向著觸手可及的你說著
「要不試著背離正道呢?」心愛之人如此略誘著我
請步入仙境尋覓重生的我吧
在那僅有兩人的仙境
化作絢麗的吐息
唱著屬於你的歌謠
英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
Within a forest of delusion, I search for truth
The light of the moon illuminating my hunt
I step over ferns, my feet becoming wet
The water puddling on the edge of a summer path
Having shared laughter, tears, and gazes between us
Warily, cautiously, I fell in love
Along the separate paths the two of us walked
Is vexingly, only the sound of our voices calling to each other
Find me in the wonderland
Before long, my hands grow dirty
As I chase after that which my self desirеs
My braid becoming undone
We bitе down into the same star, and become a pair
A lonesome, solitary night arrives
The shore of dreams still brightly lit
A heart is left half-eaten and tossed aside
From here forth begins a transformation into song
This world is your plaything, and wherever I go
You are there, laughing
Should I try and step off the path, the unease shall beckon to me
Find me in the wonderland
Even if I must be reborn anew
I cannot go on without a strong, unshakeable will
My life has been a cautious, prudent one
And thus, only I am unable to find a path
Counting the stars, connecting them together
Into an as-yet-unknown summer constellation
Gazing at each other, I cry, and morning comes
From here forth begins a story
I'm no longer on my own, aren't I? Isn't this like a dream? I sing
Desolation flutters in the wind, and we meet at the base of its flag
Since nothing is beginning to go as I had expected
I shall try and step off the path, to the source of the hunter's clap
In your wonderland
For the sake of kindling a light in the place you wander, lost
You held a bouquet in your arms, chivalrously, let's have a laugh
I'm no longer on my own
It is incredibly frightening, about happiness
Desolation flutters in the wind, and we meet at the base of its flag
This world belongs to you, I reach out my hand and you are there
As I step off of the path, my beloved beckons to me
Find me in the wonderland
In your wonderland
Becoming a beautiful breath
Singing a song about you

David Bisbal's Diez Mil Maneras (Ten Thousand Ways) with English lyrics.
Translated lyrics are from:
http://lyricstranslate.com/en/diez-mil-maneras-ten-thousand-ways.html
SPANISH:
Diez mil maneras
Si antes de correr,
olvidar y desaparecer,
antes de hablar,
y herir después
caer y levantarnos.
¿Por qué no caminas junto a mí?
De la mano
solo sin decir nada,
solo basta estar aquí,
suficiente con mirarnos.
No es para mí, vivir así,
tal vez si es para ti,
qué vas a decidir.
Coro:
Si hay diez mil maneras de olvidar,
de rescatarnos e intentar,
contarnos siempre la verdad
¿Por qué decir que no?
Si hay diez mil silencios que evitar,
ningún secreto que ocultar..
No hay por qué decir que no.
Y sé muy bien que aveces puede más,
la costumbre que la soledad,
a veces tanta terquedad
intenta separarnos.
No es para mí, vivir así,
tal vez si es para ti,
qué vas a decidir.
Coro:
El amor duele sin remedio,
si lo dejas ir..
Y no hay por qué perderlo.
Dejemos de mentir,
está acabando el tiempo,
lentamente...
ENGLISH:
If before running,
forgetting and disappearing,
before talking,
and hurting afterwards
collapsing and getting up.
Why don't you walk with me?
Holding hands
Wiithout saying anything,
Being here is enough,
Looking at each other is enough.
It is not for me, living this way,
Perhaps it's for you to decide.
Chorus:
If there are ten thousand ways of forgetting,
of saving us and trying,
of always telling the truth
Why say no?
If there are ten thousand silences to prevent,
not a single secret concealed..
There is no reason to say no.
And I know very well that sometimes it can be more,
the habit that the loneliness,
sometimes so much stubbornness
attempts to separate us.
It is not for me, living this way,
Perhaps it's for you to decide.
Chorus:
Love hurts with no remedy,
If you let it go..
And there isn't a reason to lose it.
We allowed it to become a lie,
It's the end of time, slowly...
Chorus:
Love hurts with no remedy,
If you let it go..
And the isn't a reason to lose it,
We allowed it to become a lie,
slowly..
