The Sublime Object of Orientalism proposes that globalised Asian physical cultural practices such as taiji, qigong, yoga, and meditation can be understood by examining the intimate connection between Western orientalism and the Romantic aesthetic notion of the sublime. The book recasts ‘orientalist physical culture’ as practices animated by the sublime and argues that this relationship is stronger than has hitherto been recognised by commentators. Bowman combines new readings of philosophers and cultural critics such as Slavoj Žižek and Jane Iwamura with analyses of film, media, and Asian physical practices and their entrepreneurial forms to shed light on the quest to articulate a philosophy of orientalist physical culture. He also explores ways to make sense of orientalist physical culture in the contemporary world and evaluate the often-problematic ideologies that circulate around these cultural practices without either uncritically accepting their value or rejecting them outright.

◎tell、talk、say 都是說，怎麼用才不會搞錯？ ◎put不只是擺放，海報掛牆上、郵票貼紙上，這些情境都能用。 ◎書本翻頁、指引車輛左右轉、調整音量，用turn一字搞定！ ◎想給部屬建議，說You should 聽起來好兇，有更好的說法嗎？ 本書作者船橋由紀子，擁有多年英語教練的資歷， 13年來讓5,000名學生的多益成績在短短2個月內增加 200 分。 作者指出，只需國中程度的動詞就能開口對話， 因為英語裡的5大句型都以「主詞（S）+動詞（V）」開頭， 足夠應付大多數與外國人談話的情境。 本書精選20大基本動詞，以及外國人最常用的百大句型， 設計一套每天只要30分鐘，1個月就能無負擔開口說英語的學習計畫。 ◎開口說英語，國中程度的動詞就夠 說自己在哪裡工作用work at；在哪個領域工作用work in； 自己目前從事的工作怎麼介紹？I’m working as＋職業名。 從介紹工作、職位與產業，work一詞就能搞定。 搭公車，用 get on；搭計程車，換成 get in。 「到了哪裡」，就用 get to； 起床呢？從床上「起來」，當然是用get “up”。 一個 get就能搞定這麼多日常英語。 give 不只表示給予， 日常生活想請別人幫忙，說give me a hand比help me更口語！ give（授予）＋up（上升）＝放棄： I gave up watching TikTok.（我戒掉看抖音。） ◎只要一個動詞就能表達很多情境 點餐用want？外帶用take更道地：I’ll take this one, please. like只代表喜歡？其實，稱讚對方也可以用like：I like your designs。 打開（關掉）電視，用open（close）？正確是：turn on（turn off）。 make翻為「做」好籠統？這些情境都能用make： make的主要概念是「施加外力、創造新事物」，不只製作， 與他人約定、預約是make a promise； 表達某事讓我開心可以說made me happy. 賺錢則說make money……只要一個動詞就能表達很多情境。 用國中程度的

In this book, I trace the winding paths of my life: the fragile beginnings of childhood, the shaping of character and personality, the search for health and wholeness, the awakening of faith, the long seasons of formation, the call to consecrated life and priesthood, and the outward journeys of mission and ministry. Alongside the joys, I speak also of the shadows—the doubts and struggles, the inner conflicts and external storms that tested my roots. I share how I learned to make peace with what I could not change, and to integrate what once felt broken into something whole. Woven through these stories are the theoretical voices of philosophy, psychology, anthropology, theology, missiology and spirituality—threads of wisdom that helped me make sense of my experience, and that my experience, in turn, has made more real and whole. The narrative takes root in a landscape of critical reflection and scholarly inquiry, making the personal and the academic converse with each other—experience b

在一歲多時因罹患癌症，自小便飽受開刀、化療之苦，四歲時又被診斷為重度自閉症患者，不僅口不能言，手也不能寫。直到他在小學接觸到點字板，終於得以與外界溝通，而這也成為他唯一能對世界發聲的管道。 成長過程與面臨的困境，是一般人無法理解的世界；而一般人認為的理所當然，對他而言，卻是終身難以企及的天方夜譚。 曾形容自己「一出生就拿了個爛劇本！」由於自身無法言語，因此被忽略、被誤解對他來說都是家常便飯，但其中最令他難以忍受的卻是他人憐憫的眼神。為了不讓自己被這個世界淘汰，只得鼓起勇氣，努力站穩在這個世界上。 如果人生是一部漫畫，那作者的人生註定是個失敗的作品，沒有熱血成長，也沒有扭轉乾坤的高潮，只有無止境的掙扎和失落，只有一個小孩在現實人生裡掙扎求生，卻被迫要持續連載下去。 不想成為這部漫畫的男主角，因為他不會進化成強大的英雄，更不能變身拯救世界。他所能做的，只是努力去適應這個世界，努力讓自己活得「像個正常人」。 微笑推薦 吳幸芬∣長榮大學應日系主任 徐祥珍∣Make-A-Wish Taiwan喜願協會執行長 陳其邁∣高雄市長 陳藹玲∣富邦文教基金會執行董事 陸育克∣陸爸爸說演故事劇場藝術總監 楊月娥∣資深媒體人、照顧者、作家 魏德聖∣電影導演 魏德聖： 這本書不是「感人故事集」，也不是要你淚流滿面後拍拍書說：「真不容易啊。」它是作者用生命、用勇氣寫下的一條幸福之路。他不談大道理，卻一字一句提醒我們──幸福其實可以很簡單，一杯水、一陣風、一個擁抱、一抹微笑……都能讓人感覺被這個世界溫柔地接住了。 楊月娥： 這不是一本要你正向思考的書，而是一本能陪你走過低谷的書；不是一本叫你堅強的書，而是一本允許你軟弱、掉眼淚、甚至大聲罵命運的書；這不是一本快樂人生指南，而是一本「活著真的好麻煩，但還是想活」的書。

In Gentle Voices, Bold Strides, Professor Fanny Cheung shares her inspiring journey as a psychologist, academic leader, and champion of gender equality. Growing up in a traditional Hong Kong family, she recognized early injustices against women and dedicated her life to change. Pioneering gender studies in Asia and leading the Equal Opportunities Commission, she fought discrimination, domestic violence, and gender bias in policy and research. Her leadership reshaped academia and public policy through consensus-building and quiet determination, leaving a legacy of empowerment.

Hong Kong and Macau have both been Special Administrative Regions of China since 1999. To this day, however, the two SARs and mainland China have yet to form a cohesive agreement for extradition. Yanhong Yin proposes a theoretical model—the China Arrest Warrant—that fulfils three essential criteria: compliance with the framework of “One Country, Two Systems,” allowance for differences within the three divergent legal systems, and sufficient human rights protection. This model takes direct inspiration from the European Arrest Warrant, which is undergirded by the principle of mutual recognition—the idea that while states may make different decisions on a wide range of matters, results will be accepted as equivalent to decisions made by one’s own state. The success of the European Union’s adoption of mutual recognition across political, economic, and legal situations is instrumental in providing a blueprint for judicial cooperation among mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, and Macau SAR.

In Working the System: Motion Picture, Filmmakers, and Subjectivities in Mao-Era China, 1949–1966, Qiliang He inquired into the making of the new citizenry in Mao-era China (1949–1976) by studying five preeminent Shanghai-based filmmakers. These case studies shed light on how individuals’ subjectivities took shape in the cinematic arena under a new sociopolitical system after 1949. He suggests that a filmmaker’s subjectivity was not fixed or stable but constantly in flux, requiring a host of “subjectivizing practices” to (re)shape and consolidate it. These filmmakers endeavored to reap maximal benefits from Mao’s sociopolitical system and minimize the disadvantages that would make them victims under the system. In short, Qiliang He argues that the filmmakers not only worked under the socialist system imposed upon them but also worked the system in their best interests.

The Genera of Orchidaceae in Hong Kong is a handy reference for both amateurs and professional botanists in Asia who wish to enter the field of modern orchidology. Orchid appreciation is an art deeply rooted in Asian cultures. But in 1977, when this book was first published, orchidology as a science was new to people there. The technical vocabulary was unfamiliar and the subject matter difficult to understand. Therefore, this volume was intended as a general, easy-to-use reference book, with illustrations of the basic structure of orchids and their habit and habitat clearly described in Chapter I. The book may also be used as a self-help guide for naturalists and gardeners in Hong Kong who wish to identify an orchid new to them. In Chapter II, keys, descriptions, and illustrations are given to allow the reader to look up and gain information about individual orchid species. Chapter III provides an analysis of the composition and an interpretation of the phytogeographic significance of

“Red and blue appear in stark contrast with one another on the map of America. But the even more profound divide is the alienation in our hearts.” This work is a striking analysis of the struggles faced by American society, written from the perspective of a Chinese professor of history who spent 60 years of his life in the US. As both an insider and outsider to this country, Cho-yun Hsu is able to perceive what many other Americans may take for granted, and it is this viewpoint—together with his decades of experience teaching history at the University of Pittsburgh—that make this work so unusual and worthwhile. This work analyzes American history through a wide range of topics, including culture, politics, economics, industrialization, class, ethnicity, the urban-rural divide, and more. Expertly analyzing the origins of the tension and conflict between different classes and ethnic groups in American society, this book seeks to offer a way forward from a humanistic perspective, in the

Putting admirable rationales of university education into practice is never easy. While it is popular to emphasize market values and competitive rankings, moral values and ideals sound way too lofty nowadays. Under tensions on campus and in society, the head of a university takes the role of striking a balance as skilfully as possible. Professor Joseph Sung is no exception to all these challenges. He has been enjoying university life with teachers and students, going through ups and downs with them. This book, a collection of 57 blog articles by Professor Sung during his tenure as the seventh Vice-Chancellor of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, tells us the stories. He talks about higher education and social responsibility, pathways and choices our youths make, the visions he had and the challenges he faced, and life values which he wishes his students could take seriously.

Agriculture builds upon the integration of crops and the environment, with which its yield depends strongly on a healthy soil foundation. With that in mind, the knowledge of the soil and fertilizer is crucial to maintaining an environment with optimal nutrients, water and oxygen for crop production. Soil is one of human's precious resources, the protection and nurturing of our soil is thus an integral part of sustainable development. Effective soil management is considered not only a technology, but also an art. In practice, to make use the full potential of the land, the management strategies need to take account of the differences and characteristics of the soil, plant and climate that are unique to each geographical location. Such an approach is increasingly more important nowadays because of the increasing loss of cultivable land and need of high quality agricultural products.

In sooth, I know not why I am so sad: It wearies me; you say it wearies you; But how I caught it, found it, or came by it, What stuff 'tis made of, whereof it is born, I am to learn; And such a want-wit sadness makes of me, That I have much ado to know myself. 真的，我不知道自己為什麼這麼悶悶不樂： 我自己也感到厭煩；你們說見我這樣子，你們都苦惱了； 我怎樣染上了憂鬱，我怎麼遇見、邂逅了它， 憂鬱究竟是何物，它從何而來，還有待我去認識； 憂鬱讓我變得遲鈍， 我都搞不清楚我自己了。 ──《威尼斯商人》(Act I, Scene I) The venom clamours of a jealous woman Poisons more deadly than a mad dog's tooth. It seems his sleeps were hinder'd by thy railing, And therefore comes it that his head is light. Thou say'st his meat was sauced with thy upbraidings: Unquiet meals make ill digestions; Thereof the raging fire of fever bred; And what's a fever but a fit of madness? 妒婦惡毒的潑鬧 比瘋狗的牙齒更毒。 你的罵詈讓他不得睡覺， 所以他的頭腦才會發昏。 你說他在飯桌上時，用來配飯的是你的謾罵 吃頓飯都不得安寧，才讓他消化不良； 熾烈妒火的一發作起來， 和發瘋有什麼兩樣？ ──《連環錯》(Act V, Scene I) 看莎翁戲劇中句句對白，娓娓道出人生智慧， 一覽芸芸眾生的浮世繪與人性的萬花筒， 探討人類生命的課題，以心感受文學，品味

Within this text, the contributors provide a historical perspective on the development of anthropology and sociology since their introduction to Chinese thought and education in the early twentieth century, with an emphasis on the 1930s and 1980s. The authors offer different windows on theoretical and research agendas of anthropologists and sociologists of the PRC and Taiwan, shaped as much by their political context as by disciplinary training. In examining the careers of several individual scholars, they also make note not only of their creative contributions, but also of the resonance of their intellectual concerns with contemporary issues in sociology and anthropology (culturalism, frontiers, women). Finally, the volume is organized loosely around the problem of how to translate these disciplines into a Chinese context(s), the issues of "indigenization" (bentuhua 本土化) or "making Chinese" (Zhongguohua 中國化), which have haunted the two disciplines since their establishment in the 1930

“but that my heart had been broken a few times, sometimes it doesn’t even feel like a heart, can anyone make it smaller and a little bit smarter? Or does it just need time to be recovered or adjusted to the change?” 這是我的心，她是一顆好心， 但是這個心，多次破碎， 有些時候，我甚至不覺得她再是一顆心， 有沒有人可以幫我將她變得細小一點？ 或許， 變得聰明一些？ 還是， 只需要給她時間去復原，去適應這個迴旋不止的世界？

特色 1 依照各種情感表達分類，用最貼近美國生活的方式，學習課本學不到的道地美語。以下摘錄精采內容： ■ Don’t have a cow. 不要生氣！ 快被老闆氣死了，老外卻對你說：「Don’t have a cow. 不要有一隻牛」？這到底是什麼意思？其實，他是要叫你不要生氣。 著名的卡通辛普森中的主角 Bart Simpson（霸子辛普森）常會用 Don’t have a cow. 叫別人「不要生氣」，或是「不要大驚小怪」。因此 have a cow 就是「氣炸了」或是「令人感到震驚」。 ■ eye candy 賞心悅目的俊男美女 eye candy 眼睛糖果？其實是用來形容讓你眼睛大吃冰淇淋的俊男美女。 讓視覺有如吃糖果般的享受，就是讓眼睛大吃冰淇淋的意思囉，通常用來形來帥哥辣妹。另外還有一種糖果叫做 arm candy，指的是挽著對方手臂陪同出席舞會的俊男美女。 ■ a barrel full of monkeys? 不好玩，無趣 a barrel of monkeys「裝了一整桶的玩具猴子」，意思是「很無趣」，後來某家玩具公司還以這個典故出了這種可以雙手環抱的塑膠玩具猴子，試想收到一整桶這樣的猴子根本就不好玩也不會有好臉色，老美就是用這樣的用法來諷刺某件事情或活動「很無趣、一點都不好玩」。 ■ I wasn’t born yesterday. 我又不是甚麼都不懂（像昨天才剛出生的一樣） 昨天才出生的嬰兒當然甚麼都不懂！這句話通常都是用來告訴試圖對自己說教的人別再碎碎念啦！ ■Who knows! 天知道！ 這句並不是真的在問「誰會知道？」而是表現感嘆的語氣，用以回應大哉問。 ■ make one’s head spin 讓某人頭昏腦脹 make one’s head spin 也可以說 make one’s head swim。spin 是「旋轉」，swim 是「搖晃」，這兩種動作都會讓人頭昏，因此都引申為「暈眩」的意思。make one’s head spin/swim 除了表示真的頭昏（如搭雲霄飛車），也表示「令人非常困惑」或是「令人吃不消」。 ■ Enough said. 說夠了。 面對喋喋不休，或是光說不練的人，當你要叫他閉嘴，不要再說了，該是付諸行動的時候，就用Enough sa

＊The course of true love never did run smooth. 真愛之路崎嶇難行。 《仲夏夜之夢》(Act 1, Scene 1) ＊Cupid is a knavish lad, thus to make poor females mad. 失德的邱比特放蕩不羈，讓可憐的女人們失了心。 《仲夏夜之夢》(Act 3, Scene 2) ＊The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool. 愚人自以為聰明，智者知道自己愚昧無知。 《皆大歡喜》(Act 5, Scene 1) 看莎翁戲劇中句句對白，娓娓道出人生智慧， 一覽芸芸眾生的浮世繪與人性的萬花筒， 探討人類生命的課題，以心感受文學，品味莎劇之美！ 本書為《悅讀莎士比亞故事》第三冊，內容介紹莎士比亞的兩齣喜劇： 《仲夏夜之夢》荷米雅不肯服從父親所安排的婚姻，決定和情人私奔，而另一對男女友人也跟隨在後。他們來到了精靈世界所在的森林，這裡的仙王和仙后時起勃谿，兩對男女遂捲入了精靈們的魔法中，開始了一場光怪陸離的仲夏夜之夢…… 《皆大歡喜》羅莎琳的公爵父親被弟弟所篡位，她遇到了被兄長所虐待的歐藍多，同是天涯淪落人的心情，讓兩人彼此產生了情愫。他們後來在森林裡再度相遇，但因羅莎琳此時女扮男裝，歐藍多沒有認出她來。羅莎琳該如何用男子的身分來對待這個心上人呢？ 《悅讀莎士比亞故事》系列介紹 選自英國文學家Charles and Mary Lamb改編自莎士比亞的戲劇《Tales from Shakespeare》，用詞簡易，適合大眾閱讀。本套書共收錄16部莎士比亞膾炙人口的作品，依故事屬性，兩篇輯成一冊，共八冊。每篇開頭附導讀及人物介紹，行文間搭配全彩美圖、英單注釋、IPA音標、名句選讀，書後別冊更精心設計故事相關練習題與中文翻譯。 1　哈姆雷特＆奧賽羅　四大悲劇之二 2　馬克白＆李爾王　四大悲劇之二 3　仲夏夜之夢＆皆大歡喜　四大喜劇之二 4　馴悍記＆第十二夜　四大喜劇之二 5　羅蜜歐與茱麗葉＆無事生非　悲劇與喜劇 6　威尼斯商人＆連環錯　兩齣喜劇 7　暴風雨＆冬天的故事　最早與最後的喜劇 8　終成眷屬＆一報還一報　兩齣問題劇

Miss Pronunciation(可譯為發音小姐或發音錯誤二種意思)就是花音小姐，她活潑可愛，但是常常花(發)錯音，一個不一樣的發音，就能帶你走上不同的旅程。 當她說It’s a sick book，你會想原來書也會生病啊，那有沒有書醫生呢，可是原來她想說的是 A thick book ，還有當她說Let’s Pray，你會以為要開始祈禱，但其實她是說Let’s Play…，跟著花音小姐的旅程就是充滿著這麼多驚喜! Miss pronunciation is a fun house mirror for words. In this book you can actually see how mispronounced words twist the original meaning and make fun of themselves, as Miss Pronunciation makes a thick book ‘sick,’ shrinks a law school into a ‘low school,’ and spins a tiger’s fangs into ‘fans.’ Readers will be tickled by the funny twists and award-winning illustrations, while English teachers may find fresh ideas for teaching pronunciation. 產品特色 1. 本書獲2009新一代數位媒體金獎 2. 全英文繪本，以有趣插圖教導孩子英語發音可能的錯誤。

As has been well said, “Andersen was a Norseman, and the blood of Norsemen is in our veins.” For those who here make first acquaintance with Andersen, it may be well to state that he was born at Odense, in the Baltic island of Funen, on April 2, 1805. His first fairy tales were published when he was about thirty years of age. “I have written them,” he wrote to a friend, “just as if I were telling them to a child.” That, no doubt, was the reason of his success, though as a

Hao Zhidong has provided essential background on the types of thinking that could create a unified island-mainland polity. Do the politicians in Beijing and Taipei want one enough to make the symbolic sacrifices that would be needed to bring their citizens peace with prosperity? The thinkers whom Hao analyzes in this book can show them ways to do this---Lynn White, Princeron University A tour de force survey of the dilemmas and possibilities facing intellectuals and policy makers in the Chinese-speaking world when dealing with Taiwan as a problem of Chinese nationalism.---Christopher R. Hughes, London School of Economics and Political Science A sane, thoughtful and thoroughly grounded study of what intellectuals are doing---and could do---to mediate the contentious patriotism in both Mainland China and Taiwan. Hao brings the sensibilities of a native to a rigorous comparative sociological analysis of the states and the intellectuals involved and what it would take to resolve this key

As a Cultural construct, gender is fictional and imagined, yet its ideological and representational effects on the formation of self and identity are quite real. The fiction behind the fictional, which many accepts as truth, is at the core of what is most intriguing about the problem of gender. Critiquing this narrative, Gender, Discourse, and the Self in Literature unravels the strategies that writers and filmmakers adopt in their (de)construction of the gendered self in three Chinese communities: mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. Writing from the vantage points of film, literature, and gender studies, contributors make an innovative marriage to Western gender discourse and the construction and representation of self and identity in contemporary China.

What difference does a region make? Are the new regional cultures of Northeast Asia the product of individuals fighting to overcome national trade barriers, or are they driven by governments promoting national interests in new ways? Are they the result of economic pursuits alone, or do cultural and political forces play a role? Cultural Studies and Cultural Industries in Northeast Asia takes a Cultural Studies approach to the cultural industries in Northeast Asia. The volume opens with an innovative section considering the discipline itself as a kind of cultural industry, highlighting the challenges and possibilities that arise from the context of Northeast Asia. Other essays on specific cultural industries and their products range in coverage from labor in the Korean animation industry to anti-Korean manga in Japan, the emergence of an East Asian brandscape, Chinese consumption of Japanese animation, the Asian regional strategy of the Pusan International Film Festival, and more.

The primary purpose of this book is to examine the contributions of the Malaysian Chinese community in nation-building. Attention is focused principally on the post-independence period but with justified emphasis on the earlier era that constituted the formative stage of the country as a political state. The areas and extent of Chinese contributions are multi-faceted. The present study deals with the more crucial areas that determine the vigour and durability of the Malaysian nation-state. These are identified as the economic, political and cultural aspects of life that combine to make what it is today and that will have a profound influence on its future prospects. Volume one is divided into three parts, namely, introduction, historical background, and economic perspective. Volume two will deal with nation-building from the political and cultural perspective.
