主題: 多數？少數？這世界比你想的還大多了 (You Are Not The Majority)
It's easy to feel like the way we experience life is generally the same for others. 我們很輕易就認為我們的生活模式基本上和別人相同
But did you realize that the majority of people in this world don't actually have the internet? 但你知不知道其實世界上大部份的人並沒有網路可以使用？
About 3.5 billion people or only 40% of the world has an internet connection today, meaning this digital reality we experience is actually done so by a minority of people in the world. 大約 35 億人，或是 40% 的總人口有網際網路這代表和我們常用的數位其實只被少數人群享有
Or how about the fact that the majority of people on the world live in this circle? 那你知道多數的人其實都住在這個範圍裡嗎？
In fact, it contains 22 of the world's 37 mega cities which each have at least 10 million people. 事實上，這個範圍就佔了全世界共 37 個超大城市中的 22 個，每個城市至少有 1000 萬人口
Only 2 cities in America fall into this category, New York and Los Angeles. 37 個超大城市中只有 2 座城市來自美國紐約和洛杉磯
On that note, the majority of the world actually live in developing countries. 由此可知，大部份的人其實居住在開發中國家
To that point, around 70 to 80% of people on this planet make less than 10 US dollars a day. 再來，大約 70% 到 80% 的總人口一天賺不到 10 美元
Well, even in a wealthy country like America, over 50% of people make less than 30,000 dollars a year. 即使像是美國如此富裕的國家，有過半數的美國人一年的薪水少於三萬美元
The good news is that global poverty has fallen by half over the last decade. 好消息是過去十年來全球貧窮率共下降了 50%
But we still have a global environment where more people have cell phones than toilets. 但是我們生存的環境裡，竟然擁有手機的人比擁有馬桶的還要多
As if November 2016 most people are male with roughly 55 million less females on the planet, 像是 2016 年 11 月時，世界人口多數為男性，而女性人口數大約少了男性人口數 5.5 億
and of our population, the majority are under the age of 30. 而在總人口數中，多數人的年齡小於 30 歲
And the most common age for a person to be worldwide? 而最常見的年紀又是幾歲呢？
Zero years old, followed by 1 year old, 2 years old, 3, 4 and then 26 years old. 零歲，再來依序排名為 1 歲、2 歲、3 歲、4 歲，然後是 26 歲
The majority of adults in the world weigh around 61 kilograms or 135 pounds, 成人平均體重為 61 公斤（135 磅）
whereas the vast majority of people in North America are overweight . 然而大多數的美國人與加拿大人卻過重
And while the majority of Nothern Americans drink coffee over tea, 當大部份住在北美的居民喝咖啡多過喝茶
three cups of tea are drank for every one cup of coffee worldwide, making it a much more popular drink. 全世界咖啡與茶的消耗率為 1：3，說明了茶比咖啡還要受歡迎
Speaking of North America, the majority of the Canadian population actually lives South of Seattle. 說到了北美，大部份的加拿大人民其實住在西雅圖以南
Do you know that the number of childhood deaths have been cut in half over the last 15 years? 你知道過去 15 年來孩童死亡數降低了一半嗎？
And that 122 million children's lives have been saved since 1990? 還有你知道自 1990 年後有一億兩千兩百萬個孩童生命被救活嗎？
Sometimes it may feel like the world is getting worse, but global health intervention is changing that, 有的時候我們會覺得這個世界越來越糟，但是全球衛生卻改善了這點
and in their annual letter, Bill and Melinda Gates highlight this amazing progress. 在比爾蓋茲的年度公開信中強調了這項進步
But, also the challenges, like how 45% of child deaths are linked to malnutrition. 不過也提到了一些挑戰，像是有 45% 的兒童死亡人數是因為營養不良
On that note, the majority of the world actually live in developing countries. In fact, modern language is now advocating to change terms like "third world country" to "majority world country" to more accurately represent that these countries are, well, the majority of humankind.

Day 245
今天句子裡面的language拼錯囉！！大家自己修正一下。
上個禮拜因為老婆跟女兒在高雄娘家，剩下我這個孤單老teenager在外工作，所以比較有時間開西文小教室。
昨天晚上回高雄，準備接妻女回家囉！很開心，很忙，但還是要抽點時間練英文。
今天的句子，沒有先把重點字彙提出來看，直接看著文章分享，可能順序有點亂，希望聽得懂。
西文教室的部份，是昨天回家前先預錄的。之後視自己的時間來決定開課的時間囉！！
反正不管怎麼樣，只要每天來口說挑戰，就不會漏掉的啦！！
On that note, the majority of the world actually live in developing countries. In fact, modern language is now advocating to change terms like "third world country" to "majority world country" to more accurately represent that these countries are, well, the majority of humankind.
==這是西班牙文教室的分隔線==
快要講完囉！！字母只剩下 rr 的發音還沒說。
接下來剩下重音的規則。
如果都跟得上，之後看到西班牙文的句子，你也都能念出來了（雖然意思可能都看不懂）。
*rr
這裡再強調一次，字母 r 沒有捲舌，其實還蠻接近 L 的發音，應該是有點像是比較偷懶沒有發清楚的 L
這裡用前天講的耳朵 oreja 這個字再說明一次。
而 rr 在字中，或是單一個 r 在字首，都會發舌顫音。
可以想像在賣場看到冷氣或電扇展示時，貼在上面的彩色塑膠帶飄動的樣子。
舌頭放鬆，輕輕靠近上顎，然後大力把氣送出，讓舌頭被空氣帶動而抖動。
注意：真的不會也沒差，充其量只是能拿來現一下說自己會發這個音。
我當時每天搭公車上學時，在車上一直練習，練了快一個月吧！
到要畢業時，班上還是有同學不會。真的不會念，就用 r 的音帶過就好了。
練習： restaurante 餐廳； rápido 快一點； ropa 衣服； borracho 喝得醉醺醺的（人）； perro 狗
有想要更進階聽的話，可以參考這個網址：
http://www.123teachme.com/learn_spanish/pronunciation_r_rr
當然也可以點自己想要聽的部份，裡面有很棒的發音示範。
*重音規則：
1. 字尾為母音或n、s：重音在倒數第二音節。
2. 字尾為n、s之外的其他子音：重音在最後一音節。
3. 有重音符號"ˊ"的單字：重音在重音符號標示的音節。
camisa
1. 分成三個音節ca-mi-sa。
2. 根據重音規則1.，重音在mi，該音節音調上揚。
‧quieren
1. 分成三個音節qui-e-ren。
2. 根據重音規則1.，重音在e，該音節音調上揚。
‧liberalizar
1. 母音畫線，再多音節也不怕，li-be-ra-li-zar。
2. 根據重音規則2.，重音在zar，前面四個音節快速念過，zar重音的部份，類似中文第四聲。
‧piel
1. 分成兩個音節pi-el。
2. 根據重音規則2.，重音在el，類似中文第四聲。
‧ladrón
1. 分成la-drón。
2. 根據重音規則3.，有重音符號時只認符號，重音在drón，重音的部份，類似中文第四聲。

休息了幾天沒有什麼看影片
再度整理一下
今天的比較像是小知識合集?
還是像是大數據?
確實有很多統計有點出乎意料之外
讓小柿子不經想到這個詞組"自以為是"
不過不是那個意思的"自以為是"
是自己認為是那樣的
其實事實有時候跟你所想的是相反?
也許跟接觸的環境有關係
當接觸的周遭都是如此
也沒有機會接觸到更多不同的環境時
就會有先入為主的觀念存在了
所以有機會要多走出去看看其他事情
用不同的角度跟想法
來擁有更多的思想跟感覺
話說未來是不是有門叫大數據的東西會興起?
祝大家可以享受這美好的周末一天假期~
明天來去看個分裂
聽說還不錯?
