Quote from Trump
川普於總統辯論裡所提到的逗趣言論中，也有幾個好字可採用：
I have much better judgment than she (Hillary) does. I also have a much better temperament than she has. I think my strongest asset maybe by far is my temperament. I have a winning temperament. I know how to win.

（與她（希拉蕊）相比我有更好的判斷力，我的個性也比她好。我想我最強大的資產應該就是我的個性，我有能獲勝的個性，我知道如何獲勝。）
還真是敢講啊！筆者不是建議各位要像川普總統講得如此狂妄又直接，而是可取其中的好字，換個方式說明自己的長處。比如，在面試編輯工作時，judgment一字可以這樣用：
I have great judgment in the choice of words.
（對於用字我有極好的判斷力。）
「I have good judgment in _______. 」這個句型，能說明你在哪個方面有優於常人的判斷力。
Temperament
不管面試哪個領域，想強調自己某方面的個性時，temperament一字可這麼用：
My temperament is easy-going.
（我的個性很隨和。）
I have a competitive temperament.
（我的個性很好勝。）
Asset
在此段言論中，川普總統還指出自己最強的資產my strongest asset，若是要應徵業務類的工作，你也可以學他這麼說：
My strongest asset is my networking ability. I’m very sociable and good with people.
（我最強的資產就是我的社交能力。我非常善於交際也很容易與人相處。）
用此方式表達自己，豈不就能立刻讓雇主感受到你強烈的社交能力與自信程度嗎？
Ivy League
即便川普有幾句不錯的經典名言，但他也經常語出驚人、說出突兀的言論，比如他曾炫耀自己的教育背景：
I went to Ivy League. I’m very highly educated. I know words. I have the best words.
（我讀的是長春藤名校，我受過非常高等的教育。我懂很多字，我用的字都很厲害。）
Proficient
通常，即使一個人受過高等的教育或知識淵博，也不會用如此直白的方式表達出來，而是用較具體的經歷來證明自己優秀的教育背景及技能。與其說I’m very highly educated還不如用以下句型具體地讓雇主知道你堅強的實力，而不是只會說空洞的大話：
1. I’m proficient in. . . (a language) .
（我精通...（某國語言）。）
2. (A specific field of skill). . . is my forte.
（某項領域或技能）,,,是我的強項。）
3. I have many years of experience in. . . (a specific field).
（我在（某個領域）...有很多年的經驗。）
4. I’m really good at. . . (a specific skill).
（對於...（某項技能）我很在行。）
看完了今天的川普名言，應該從中學到了幾個實用的字彙，就用以下兩題多益模擬試題，測試一下你的理解程度吧！
【多益模擬試題】
1. CBT Bank, __________ shareholders were passionate about getting a new CEO, has been going through some turbulent changes recently.
(A) whatever
(B) whose
(C) which
(D) who
2. Please ensure that the employees have freedom to __________ their own judgment, to offer their suggestions, and to point out problems.
(A) excuse
(B) elevate
(C) express
(D) exercise
【解析】
1. 第一題答案為(B)。
「因CBT銀行的股東對新執行長的替換很積極，近日內部有些劇烈變動。」主要是說「CBT銀行的」股東，因此應使用關係代名詞「某人的」為(B) whose。
2. 第二題答案為(D)。
「請確保員工有自行運用判斷力、提出建議以及指正問題的自由。選項(A)為免除、(B)為提升、(C)為表達，皆不符合句意，且exercise one’s judgment「運用某人的判斷力」為常見搭配詞，因此答案為(D)exercise。

Tango unfolds in a dimly lit room, where a haunting melody ushers two dancers into a close embrace. Here, music and movement merge into a silent yet passionate conversation, expressing longing, memory and shared purpose. What makes tango truly magical is the deep interaction and spontaneous improvisation between partners. Tango began in the late 19th century in Buenos Aires, Argentina’s bustling capital. Born in the poor working-class neighborhoods and busy port areas, this dance emerged from a melting pot of cultures. European immigrants, African slaves and local residents all contributed to its unique character. From these rich influences, tango
A: What show are you watching online? B: I’m watching “Fly Me to the Moon & Back” – an exhibition launched by the Taipei Music Center (TMC) to commemorate the late singer Tom Chang. A: Known for his sky-high notes, Chang is praised as one of the best singers in the 1990s. His death at the age of 31 was a major loss indeed. B: And I’m so glad that we went to the TMC’s 90s-themed concert last Friday. I finally saw the iconic “Godmother of Rock” WaWa perform live. A: This year-end show also featured singers Princess Ai, Bii, Wayne Huang, PoLin and
Just like fingerprints, your breathing patterns may serve as a definitive identifier. In a recent study, scientists have demonstrated an astonishing 96.8% accuracy in identifying individuals based on their respiratory patterns. This revelation could open up new possibilities in biometrics and personalized health monitoring. The notion of using individual breathing patterns as a distinct biological signature has long been a topic of discussion within the respiratory science community, yet a practical method for measurement remained elusive. This changed with the invention of a tiny, wearable device capable of extended recording. Researchers deployed a lightweight tube designed to fit inside
