GESH4010 Term Essay— — 《揸Tesla住半山》

我們在探討工作與人生時,常常忽略了兩個重要議題:一是社會規範,二是物慾。這兩個概念千絲萬縷而互為因果,所以我將一起解釋。 大學生如我,在大三至大四期間往往會為求職焦頭爛額。大家都想找一份穩定高薪的工作,出人頭地。我有一個朋友的人生目標是在三十歲前股票資產過百萬,揸寶紅色的Tesla model X,住一棟半山兩房單位,養一隻柯基犬,週六帶牠去海皮散步,週日同父母到茶樓飲茶,每逢假期便到日本旅行;乍聽確是美好小日子,而如此歲月靜好的代價是他會在畢業後到四大會計師樓當核數師,頭三年為三萬月薪拼搏,過著朝九晚十生活,慢慢往金字塔上層爬,終於在三十歲成為Senior Manager,月入過六萬。如主人翁所說,驅使他努力工作的是揸Tesla和住私樓。這位朋友家境普通,父母都沒大學學歷,沒有資產,更遑論接濟其子,所以主人翁必須靠自己努力,所以主人翁選擇了一份沒有興趣的核數師工作,因其勝在穩定,晉升階級透明。到這裡,整個故事都是一個願打一個願挨,主人翁行使自由意志自願用歲月換取金錢,過上期望已久的美好日子。

My Little Airport與互文性

作為翻譯系學生,記得一年級修的某課中老師提到了「Intertextuality」這個字,當時我完全不曉得是什麼東西,直到前幾年某天聽My Little Airport時才開了竅。也算是融匯貫通? My Little Airport的互文性十分有趣。互文性 (Intertextuality)是指文本意義須從另一文本中獲取,另一種講法則是用了某些典故,但那種典故的形式可以千變萬化,例如《獨身的理由》有一句: 時光飛逝 如幻似煙 何時先可以停止懷緬 Muss es sein? Es muss sein! Muss es sein? Es muss sein!(非如此不可?非如此不可!)為貝多芬四重奏曲譜手稿上的一句話,這是一回明顯的互文。這首歌最後也有解畫,見: 你與我唯一的接觸點 是我仍用你編號買書在誠品店 像「非如此不可」的德國語言 埋藏在貝多芬的四重奏經典裡面 又例如《年輕的茶餐廳老闆娘》中有一句:

This is a record of my whole design process and the UI evolution, everything from wireframing to final design — Who am I I am a co-founder and a UX designer in Hong Kong. I have no prior education or formal training background in UX design. The major reason I picked up this UX designer role for my own app startup is that I’ve already had some interest in UX design beforehand, but…
