推薦一個(gè)TED視頻：《如果我有一個(gè)女兒》

“Point B"
字幕中譯為“B點(diǎn)”静浴，但這樣在中文語境中就顯得很奇怪堰氓，不如不譯。事實(shí)上“Point B"是小孩子做數(shù)學(xué)題時(shí)假設(shè)由A點(diǎn)到達(dá)B點(diǎn)的情況苹享，通常情況下B點(diǎn)是作為目的地而存在双絮，所以此處是指無論孩子走向哪里，最終母親都可以是她的歸宿得问。“she doesn't have to wear the cape all by herself”
我認(rèn)為此句是母親在向小女孩解釋即使如Wonder Woman囤攀，也是不可能一個(gè)人把所有難題都解決的。所謂“wear the cape”宫纬，包括后面說到被踩住斗篷焚挠，都是在指Wonder Woman和超人一樣變身時(shí)披上斗篷的動(dòng)作。
非常喜歡Sarah Kay這個(gè)姑娘漓骚，充滿了活力和才華蝌衔，并且一直在以詩歌朗誦的方式鼓勵(lì)年輕人表達(dá)自己，認(rèn)同自己蝌蹂。
這是她目前正和朋友們?cè)谕七M(jìn)的一個(gè)項(xiàng)目：http://www.projectvoice.co/
以及她的個(gè)人博客：http://www.kaysarahsera.com/
