腦閉塞.老閉塞\Miss Carol

時間:2019-02-27 03:17:57來源:大公報

  這星期忙得透不過氣來,竟把文法翻譯科原本已非常技術性的教材弄得更複雜,最後要向學生致歉,笑說自己可能腦閉塞。

  我跟其他學生分享自己「腦閉塞」的一天,並借題發揮,鼓勵他們就這話題撰寫文章。調皮的Y世代學生說可能我是「老閉塞」,畢竟我的年紀可以當他們的母親了。學生們就Ageing, brain disease, dementia, memory loss, confusion及neurological disorders的議題撰寫了精彩的文章,其中有幾位建議我怎樣把腦袋保持年輕不老。

  I think Carol should train her brain more fast by playing video games with us. Playing video games need lots of brain power, we play video games at least 6 hours every day and see how smart and fast we are. Carol might have delirium, dementia or Alzheimer's disease or memory loss problems in her nervous systems because she works too hard. We are not sad for her because we will grow old one day and experience the same. We hope she works lesser and play more.

  撇除文法上的錯誤及學生認為我真的是老及腦閉塞,我是欣賞他們用上豐富的詞彙。我除了更正學生的文法錯誤也給了他們回應:Thanks for your concern of my brain health. Keeping the brain active with new mental activities help prevent brain damage. Yet, I'd rather playing real-life sports than playing video games. A healthy life both physically and mentally could be the best defence against the changes of an ageing brain. Time goes faster as I get older. I cannot manage what goes on outside, but I can control what goes on inside.

  "Disorder"作名詞使用,主要指混亂、動亂、暴亂、凌亂及雜亂無章。也經常被組織成compound noun(複合名詞)使用。例如:mental disorders, psychological disorders, psychiatric disorders, public disorder。

  要做到「老而不衰」實在不易。在我開始踏入中年,更體會到運動及健康飲食的重要。Physical exercises support the spirits, and keep the mind vigor.  A healthy diet improves cognitive function and mood. These health benefits help us stay focused on our own performance.
