中英版：Hello, everyone, this is Helena. Welcome to today’s pronunciation challenge.Today’s topic is self-love. Have you ever encountered moment of self doubt that almost push you to edge to breaking down? Have you ever asked yourself questions like why can you be better, smarter, or prettier? I have. Self-love is something I found pretty difficult to achieve but it’s extremely important. I always think that if I could love myself more, maybe I can be more confident, braver, and happier. But what is exactly we need to do to be able to love ourselves? In this video, Anna introduces her ways to improve her ability to love herself. She is journaling to combat the negativity(消極) and emotional moment. I also tried this method before. Before we continue to dig into this topic, let’s practice today’s sentence first.
I have been trying to change for years that I sacrifice my mental health in the name of work.

1. sacrifice [/ˈsæk.rə.faɪs/] (v.) 犧牲；獻出
* She asked her boyfriend to sacrifice his time to maintain their relationship but she would not do the same.

sacrifice (n.)犧牲；獻出
* Parents make sacrifices in order to pay for their children's education.

2. in the name of 代表…；用…的名義
* A group of illegal immigrants(移民) were arrested in the name of the law.

under the name of 用…的假名
* He spread rumors(謠言) online under the name of Harry Potter.

3. mental health (n.) 精神健康（狀態）
* It's hard to tell(識別) if a person is suffering from mental health disorders.

disorder (n.) 紊亂，失調
mental health disorder = mental health disease = mental health illness

mental health issues 精神健康相關議題
* Mental health issues are often neglected(被忽視) in schools.

“Peer(同儕) supporter”
It is composed of a group students trained by a counselor(諮商師) to become a listener of their peers. This club I learned a lot about mental health issues and how to be an active listener.
I want to share with you my way to feel better on bad days. Whenever I feel like it was the worst day of my life, I would ask myself to think of three things I appreciate it today. For example, today for three I’m thankful to my shoes weren’t getting wet in the rain in the morning. Secondly, I want to say thank you to my grandma who cooks delicious dinner for me. Thirdly, I feel lucky to live in a safe city where I don’t need to worry about being rubbed or attacked on the street. Sounds a bit silly,but it’s pretty effective for me. After I thought about these things, I would feel stronger about the fact that I’m indeed lucky person with a pretty good life. Then my worries, my self-doubt ,or complaints would slowly go away. I’m not sure if this will be good for you as well but you can try it next time. Or find you own ways to self-love and to create a mentally healthy life style. I hope you to find today’s topic is helpful.Remember to record your sentence of the day and leave a comment below, tell us something about self-love or your ways to feel better during sad times.

“I’ll be there for you”By Boyce Avenue
“I’ll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.”

#deliberate practice, to pull myself together.

I have been trying to change for years that I sacrifice my mental health in the name of work.

I have been trying to change for years that I sacrifice my mental health in the name of work.

多年來，我不斷嘗試做出改變，例如我以工作之名，犧牲自己的心理健康。

I have been trying to change for months that I sacrifice my free time in the name of self-assessment.

今天要把我的中英文履歷、自傳都打好送出去，還有我的翻譯專欄也要更新了。

找工作覺得意外的是，沒想到我的競爭對手有高達 7成都是英語學系，更有高達8成都是女性，覺得好可怕啊.....

求職真的難，但失業很長一段時間，自己要負很大的責任，怪不了誰。

No one should be blamed for staying unemployed for a long time except yourself.

這裡順便補充一下，except, except for 的用法

except, except for 都表：除了....以外的意思，但和 besides 不同的是，besides 是有包含後面那個，更像是，除了....之外，還有....的意思

而 except 和 except for 的用法差在哪裡呢？

最常區分的方式是後面接的內容，except 表“同類事物之間的關係”，舉例來說：

The shopping mall opens every day except Wednesday.
I always go to work by MRT except recently.

這兩個句子都是用在比較兩個同類事物的關係， everyday 和 Wednesday 皆為名詞，always recently 皆為副詞，且都表示只有在“except 後面接的內容是特別的例外。”

再來是 except for ，它通常表示“部分肯定但部分否定的意涵”且不表“同類事物之間的關係”，舉例：

Anthony is a good guy except for his bad patience.
The TV show was amazing except for the ending.

good guy, his bad patience 為不同事物的關係，但部分肯定、部分否定。
amazing, the ending 也是不同事物的關係，表這部電影非常棒（部分肯定），除了結局以外（部分否定）

以下是近期兩篇的筆譯，內容有稍作修改，也希望有興趣的大家可以幫我看一下，謝謝。

感謝Helena提供愛自己的一些方法，還有美妙的歌聲…

美中不足的地方是只唱一句…XD

每天來這裡練口說，就是愛自己。
讓自己進步，讓自己成長，讓自己強壯，就是愛自己。

有時候，口說的句子唸了幾十次，都沒辦法唸很順，然後呢，休息ㄧ下做點別的事再回來，或許就唸順了。開心。

昨晚聽Ted talk演講剛好跟今天的主題有關，分享ㄧ下要怎麼找到真正的快樂？！試想去掉所有外在包裝（學歷、家境、周邊人...）1、我是誰 2、如果世上只有你一個人你想做什麼？ 3、如果歸零，你最需要什麼？很多時候我們只想成為讓眾人稱羨或喜歡的角色而忽略了自己才是中心。只要不損害到別人權益就勇敢做自己吧！共勉⋯⋯

我也不開心，但這就是人參阿
