💬 Part 1: Core Context Examples
Bratislav 係我一個克羅地亞裔嘅朋友，佢係一個飛碟學家。佢喺佢部智能手機上面有個 UFO 套裝。佢向我推薦過好似斯坦 · 羅曼尼克嘅《獵戶座迴歸》同羅伯特 · 晨天嘅《地球文件》呢啲書。佢嘅異國書係關於超自然、偽科學同飛碟學嘅類型。佢嘅腦入面充滿住迷人嘅陰謀論同奇怪嘅奇聞，佢對天文學有一種有趣嘅非標準觀點，佢認為外太空同世界之外嘅世界充滿住生命，而我推測，如果我嘅觀點係廣闊嘅，我可以改變嘅話。
🔗 Analyze phraseBratislav is a Croatian-derived friend of mine who is a ufologist. He has a UFO Kit on his smartphone. He has recommended me books like The Orion Regressions by Stan Romanek and The Terra Papers by Robert Morning Sky. His exotic books are of the paranormal, pseudoscience, and ufology genres. His brain is full of fascinating conspiracy theories and strange anecdotes. He has an interesting nonstandard view of astronomy. He thinks that outer space and the worlds beyond are teeming with life, whilst I conjecture that they are vast deserts wherein life, especially intelligent, is very rare. However, I am open-minded and could change my view if needed.
🔗 Analyze phrase
Tomorrow, at dawn, when the countryside whitens, I will leave. You see, I know you are waiting for me. I will go through the forest, I will go across the mountains. I cannot stay away from you any longer. I will walk with my eyes fixed on my thoughts, seeing nothing outside, hearing no sound, Alone, unknown, my back bent, my hands crossed, Sad, and the day for me will be like night. I will not watch the gold of the falling evening, Nor the sails in the distance descending towards Harfleur, And when I arrive, I will place on your tomb A bouquet of green holly and flowering heather.
我同 Bvalltu 喺我哋越嚟越多嘅探險家同伴嘅陪伴下，參觀咗好多好多唔同種類嘅世界。喺某啲地方，我哋只係用咗幾個星期嘅當地時間；就好似一群蝗蟲噉，我哋會降落喺一個新發現嘅世界，我哋每個人都會揀出一個適合嘅主人。經過一段長時間嘅觀察，無論係長定短，我哋都會離開，再次落機，可能係，喺另一個時代嘅同一個世界；或者將我哋嘅公司分佈喺好多時間同空間上相隔好遠嘅世界。
🔗 Analyze phraseBvalltu and I, in company with the increasing band of our fellow explorers, visited many worlds of many strange kinds. In some we spent only a few weeks of the local time; in others we remained for centuries, or skimmed from point to point of history as our interest dictated. Like a swarm of locusts we would descend upon a new-found world, each of us singling out a suitable host. After a period of observation, long or short, we would leave, to alight again, perhaps, on the same world in another of its ages; or to distribute our company among many worlds, far apart in time and in space.
🔗 Analyze phrase
It is too true, however disgraceful it may be to human nature, that nations in general will make war whenever they have a prospect of getting anything by it; nay, absolute monarchs will often make war when their nations are to get nothing by it, but for the purposes and objects merely personal, such as thirst for military glory, revenge for personal affronts, ambition, or private compacts to aggrandize or support their particular families or partisans. These and a variety of other motives, which affect only the mind of the sovereign, often lead him to engage in wars not sanctified by justice or the voice and interests of his people.
而家係2014年7月12號星期六，我嘅中國鄰居 Irene 、 Fred 同 RJ 有個車庫賣，我喺嗰度買咗8本中文書，包括佐治奧威爾嘅《1984》嘅翻譯。呢個真係一個獎品，一個關於地球上三個競爭超級國家 —— 大洋洲、歐亞同東亞 —— 嘅替代歷史嘅寶藏。所有書都係用晒最現代嘅標誌形式，通常叫做「簡體中文」，同「繁體中文」形成咗個對比。呢個家族係華裔印度人莫利同華人梁嘅地下租客，兩個都係嚟自斐濟。佢哋間屋有個大後陽台，係我喺露露島嘅屋企旁邊同北面。
🔗 Analyze phraseIt is now Saturday, the 12th of July of 2014. My Chinese neighbours Irene, Fred, and RJ have a garage sale, from which I buy 8 Chinese books, including the translation of George Orwell's 1984. It is really a prize, a treasure about an alternate history of three competing supernations—Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia—on Earth. All the books are in the most modern form of logograms, often called "Simplified Chinese" as contrasted with "Traditional Chinese." The family are ground floor tenants of Chinese-Indian Moli and Chinese Leong, both from Fiji. Their house with a big back balcony is next to and north of my home on Lulu Island.
🔗 Analyze phrase
In the gardens of the better classes summer-houses and shelters of rustic appearance and diminutive proportions are often seen. Rustic arbors are also to be seen in the larger gardens. Specially constructed houses of quaint design and small size are not uncommon; in these the ceremonial tea-parties take place. High fences, either of board or bamboo, or solid walls of mud or tile with stone foundations, surround the house or enclose it from the street. Low rustic fences border the gardens in the suburbs. Gateways of various styles, some of imposing design, form the entrances; as a general thing they are either rustic and light, or formal and massive.
🔗 Analyze phrase
In the course of history, many humans have believed that those who did not share their skin color, language, or religion belonged to different "races". The question of which of these factors are relevant in determining the "blood" of an individual is arbitrary and can vary widely depending on the ideology. According to some, "whites" have the same "blood", regardless of language. According to others, those who share the same skin color can have different "bloods" if they speak different languages or belong to different religions. Humans have always tried to find reasons to hate one another, and perhaps will continue to do so until the human race is no more.
我同 Jai 有個關於宗教嘅討論，佢指出我係一個主要係基督教嘅家庭入面嘅佛教徒。佢覺得我嘅葬禮會係基督教嘅，明明我係佛教徒。我話其他人點諗都唔緊要。我知道 Jai 鍾意禪宗，但係受到佢德國老婆 Erika 嘅路德教背景影響。Jai 喺印度嘅家庭係印度教徒。我睇到一個佛教僧侶可以得到更多啟蒙嘅其中一個方法，就係如果佢住喺墳場。對我嚟講，由溫哥華搬去露露島就好似搬咗去墳場噉。事實上，我係一個無神論者 - 佛教徒。
🔗 Analyze phraseJai and I had a discussion about religion. He noted that I was being a Buddhist in a principally Christian family. He thinks that my funeral would be Christian, despite me being Buddhist. I said that it did not really matter what others thought. I knew that Jai liked Zen Buddhism, but was affected by his German wife Erika's Lutheran background. Jai's family in India was Hindu. I read that one of the ways a Buddhist monk could attain more enlightenment was if he lived in a cemetery. For me, having moved from Vancouver to Lulu Island was like moving to a cemetery. In fact, I am an Animist-Buddhist.
🔗 Analyze phrase
Having thus imparted to you my sentiments, as they have been awakened by the occasion which brings us together, I shall take my present leave; but not without resorting once more to the benign parent of the human race, in humble supplication that since he has been pleased to favour the American people, with opportunities for deliberating in perfect tranquility, and dispositions for deciding with unparalleled unanimity on a form of Government, for the security of their Union, and the advancement of their happiness; so his divine blessing may be equally conspicuous in the enlarged views, the temperate consultations, and the wise measures on which the success of this Government must depend.

“I wish you all,” he said, “my friends, to understand, however, that I have neither story to tell nor injuries to avenge. If a lady shall question me henceforward upon the incident of that unhappy night, I shall remain silent, and in future consider her as one who has shown herself desirous to break of her friendship with me; in a word, I will never speak to her again. But if a gentleman shall ask me the same question, I shall regard the incivility as equivalent to an invitation to meet him in the Duke's Walk, and I expect that he will rule himself accordingly.”
「你好，你哋準備好返學未？」兩人轉頭聽到塞爾達喺樓下入嚟大堂嘅聲音。 「係呀。我會讀高中！」 「我知。」 「我會好型呀！」「而家，林克，」伊姆帕正要衝入去，但係國王好快就趕走咗佢，「唔係，唔好同我哋開始嗰啲嘢，伊姆帕。」「我只係想同林克講我幾時返學。」佢反駁。國王笑得好開心。「哦係呀，有耶穌做你嘅化學伙伴一定好正！」「好啦，我從來都唔會！」 「帶佢走！」國王好嬲噉向法里喊叫。
🔗 Analyze phraseHi, y'all ready for school? The two turned their heads to the voice of Zelda coming downstairs into the large hall. "Yep. I'm going to high school!" "I know." "I'm going to be so cool!" "Now, Link," Impa was about to barge in, but the King brushed her off quickly, "Hell no, don't start that shit with us, Impa." "I just wanted to tell Link about when I went to school," she retorted. The King laughed heartily. "Oh yes, it must have been great having Jesus as your chemistry partner!" "Well I never!" "Take her away!" yelled the King to Fari angrily.
喺2023年4月9號，我屋企人出去食咗個位於露露島非常花式嘅阿伯丁中心嘅優雅漁人露台海鮮餐廳食點心午餐。我唔係成日食點心，而今次，我真係過得好開心。我屋企人都知道我一直都夢想有個好似中庭噉嘅寬敞場地，而今次，就係嗰度。食完靚餐之後，我哋就去咗一間叫做 Oomomo 嘅日式生活精品店。我想攞樽正宗嘅日本「 mugicha 」，或者大麥茶，但係我諗唔到太多嘢食，就喺嗰時。
🔗 Analyze phraseOn the 9th of April of 2023, my family went out for dim sum lunch in the elegant Fisherman's Terrace Seafood Restaurant in the very fancy Aberdeen Centre, here on Lulu Island. I do not often have dim sum, and this time, I really had a nice time. My family knew that I have been dreaming of a spacious atrium-like venue, and this time, there it was. After the beautiful meal, we headed to the Japanese-lifestyle boutique called Oomomo. I wanted to get a bottle of authentic Japanese "mugicha," or barley tea, but I could not think too much of more food, just then.
冇嘢係原創嘅。喺任何同靈感有共鳴或者激發想像力嘅地方偷嘢。吞噬舊電影、新電影、音樂、書籍、畫作、相片、詩歌、夢想、隨機對話、建築、橋樑、街牌、樹木、雲、水域、光影。淨係揀啲要偷嘅嘢，直接同你嘅靈魂講嘢。如果你咁做，你嘅工作同盜竊，都會係正宗嘅。真實性係無價之值，原創性係唔存在嘅。同埋唔好煩住隱瞞你嘅偷竊行為 —— 如果你想嘅話，就慶祝啦。無論點樣，記住 - 盧克 · 戈達講過嘅說話：「唔係你攞嘢嘅地方，而係你帶佢哋去嘅地方。」
🔗 Analyze phraseNothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work, and theft, will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable, originality is non-existent. And don't bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: "It's not where you take things from—it's where you take them to."
而家 Impa 出咗房， Link 覺得最好收尾個對話。「我今晚要早啲瞓覺，噉我喺我嘅特別日子會好好同清新啲！」佢宣布。「夜晚，林克！朝早見。」「夜晚，」巫師 Gwonam 加入咗晚安合唱，神秘地從陰影中彈出嚟。睇住林克開心噉行去佢間房，塞爾達感到一種唔確定嘅感覺，「爸爸，」佢問，「你覺得佢會點做，」「上床啦。」「但係 —— 」「床。」「但係——」「床！」「好啦。 … 哦，噉我冇夜夜啦？」「去地獄啦，郭南！」
🔗 Analyze phraseNow that Impa was out of the room, Link thought it best to wrap up the conversation. "I'm going to go to bed early tonight so I'll be nice and fresh on my special day!" he announced. "Night, Link! See you in the morning." "Nighty-night," Gwonam the wizard joined the goodnight chorus, popping mysteriously out of the shadows. Watching Link stride happily to his room, Zelda felt a surge of uncertainty. "Father," she asked, "how do you think he'll do tomo—" "Go to bed." "But fa—" "Bed." "But—" "Bed!" "Fine. ...Oh, so no nighty-nights for me?" "You suck." "Go to hell, Gwonam!"
喺2022年3月25號，我喺露露島嘅薄餅店食飯，而菲律賓小販 Rose 同一個坐喺角落枱嘅白人女士顧客，傾緊按揭同去菲律賓度假嘅事。佢哋喺房對面嗌緊嘢。我去咗間咖啡館，喺途中，我同我嘅烏克蘭朋友 Joanne 打招呼。喺咖啡廳，俄羅斯人 Karina 整咗我嘅冰紅茶，我飲咗。喺屋企，喺我嘅社交媒體上面，我睇咗帕特里克 · 斯圖爾特嘅莎士比亞單曲讀法嘅影片，就好似我做咗幾日噉。呢啲片係喺南加州拍攝。
🔗 Analyze phraseOn the 25th of March of 2022, I was eating at the Lulu Island pizzeria, whilst Rose the Filipina vendor and a white lady customer, who was sitting at a corner table, talked about mortgages and vacations to the Philippines. They were yelling across the room. I went to the cafe, and on the way, I said hello to my Ukrainian friend Joanne. At the cafe, Karina the Russian made my iced black tea, which I drank. At home, on my Social Media, I watched Patrick Stewart's videos on Shakespeare sonnet readings, as I had been doing for some days. The videos were done in Southern California.
🔗 Analyze phrase
Yes, these are unsettling times. And when the future is uncertain, there seems to be an instinct in our human nature to withdraw to the perceived comfort and security of our own tribe, our own sect, our own nationality, people who look like us, sound like us. But in today's world, more than any time in human history, that is a false comfort. It pits people against one another because of what they look or how they pray or who they love. And yet, we know where that kind of twisted thinking can lead. It can lead to oppression. It can lead to segregation and internment camps.
喺我喺晴朗嘅朝早去露露島星巴克咖啡館飲冰綠茶嘅兩次旅行中，我同我嘅菲律賓朋友格雷格講人類學，我同佢講，中東人通常係白人，有啲黑人，而南亞人通常係白人，有啲澳洲人，我喺歐洲，我喺印度嘅時候，我哋都係印度人。就好似佢演繹嘅《Hijo de la Luna》（《月亮之子》），一個吉普賽故事。喺西班牙，我見到吉普賽人，試圖喺旅遊景點向遊客賺錢。今日係2024年6月19號。
🔗 Analyze phraseIn my first of two trips in the sunny morning to the Lulu Island Starbucks café to drink iced green tea, I talk with my Filipino friend Greg about anthropology. I tell him that Middle Easterners are often Caucasoids with some Negroid infusion, whilst South Asians are often Caucasoids with some Australoid infusion. The Gypsies in Europe came from India, centuries ago. I recount my predilection for Sarah Brightman's music, as in her rendition of "Hijo de la Luna" ("Son of the Moon"), a Gypsy story. In Spain, I saw Gypsies, trying to make money from tourists in tourist attractions. Today is the 19th of June of 2024.
好多年前，我小學班去咗范杜森植物園做實地考察。 我嘅奧地利朋友 Danny K. 同我哋一齊。啲葉有個奇怪嘅形狀。後來，我將啲黃葉放入一本關於恐怖電影嘅書入面，封面上面有富蘭肯斯坦。幾年後，喺高中，喺默讀班嘅時候，我畀丹尼睇咗我本關於恐怖電影嘅書頁上面壓咗嘅其中一片黃葉。丹尼突然感到痛苦，將手上嘅黃葉皺起，好似佢嘅頭腦開始賽車噉。
🔗 Analyze phraseMany years ago, my elementary grade class went to the VanDusen Botanical Garden for a field trip. My Austrian friend Danny K. was with us. We marvelled at the biology. I collected yellow leaves from the Ginkgo biloba trees there. The leaves had a strange shape. Later, I put some of the yellow leaves in a book about horror movies with Frankenstein on the cover. Years later, in high school, during silent reading class, I showed Danny one of the yellow leaves pressed in the pages of my book about horror movies. With sudden anguish, Danny crumpled the yellow leaf in his hand, as if his mind started racing.
而家係2013年6月1號。我喺洛吉班已經達到中級。 我記憶中識好多字。我可以喺一本方便嘅字典嘅幫助下，寫任何我想要嘅散文或者詩歌，用嚟搵出我逃避唔到嘅字。我識大約90%嘅文法。我估我應該滿意。我畀個綽號 Lojban 係「 zirbau 」，即係紫色語言, 有啲人仲相信啲好似維林噉嘅東方人嘅橙色夢。對我嚟講，佢仍然係現實入面嘅一腳，幻想中嘅一腳。Lojban 唔單止係幻想，因為佢係一個實現嘅夢想。
🔗 Analyze phraseIt is the 1st of June of 2013. I have reached an Intermediate Level in Lojban. I know many words in memory. I can write any prose or poetry that I wish with the help of a handy dictionary for the words that escape me. I know about 90% of the grammar. I guess that I should be satisfied. A nickname that I give Lojban is "zirbau," the Purple Language. Some people still believe in the Orange Dream of some Vling-like Oriental conlang. For me, it is still one foot in reality and one foot in fantasy. Lojban is not just fantasy because it is a realized dream.

Naomi, her mother-in-law, said to her, "My daughter, shall I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you? Now isn't Boaz our kinsman, with whose maidens you were? Behold, he will be winnowing barley tonight on the threshing floor. Therefore wash yourself, anoint yourself, get dressed, and go down to the threshing floor; but don’t make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking. It shall be, when he lies down, that you shall note the place where he is lying. Then you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lay down. Then he will tell you what to do."
今日凌晨，我見到我個白人鄰居 Bruce Lawson 喺佢個後院前面，佢個仔韋斯利嘅啡色小狗 Gus 喺條繩上面綁住條船。 Bruce 話佢菲律賓老婆 Nerria 尋晚啱啱捉住隻小狗，當時布朗尼就逃走咗。韋斯利同佢個白人女朋友仲喺秘魯。 Bruce 唔知佢哋嘅行程。佢話：「佢哋只係想喺唔同嘅國家。」呢啲令我諗起，喺未來，唔同嘅定居世界 — 行星同月亮 — 會唔會好似唔同嘅國家噉？我睇過好多科幻片都假設咗噉嘅嘢。今日係2017年2月15號。
🔗 Analyze phraseIn the late morning today, I see my white neighbour Bruce Lawson in front of his yard, his son Wesley's brown puppy Gus being on a leash tied to a boat. Bruce says his Filipina wife Nerria just grabbed the puppy the other night, as the brownie ran away. Wesley and his white girlfriend are still in Peru. Bruce does not know their itinerary. He says, "They just want to be in a different country." Such reminds me that in the future, would different settled worlds—planets and moons—be like different countries? I have read lots of sci-fi that do postulate such. Today is the 15th of February of 2017.
我由2012年開始就親身認識克羅地亞血統嘅布拉迪斯拉夫，但係我喺往年見過佢喺露露島鄰近嘅公園散步佢兩隻小狗，都冇同佢傾過計。布拉迪斯拉夫喺我嘅意見入面係獨一無二嘅，因為佢對現實嘅睇法似乎同其他人唔同。佢講返啲農場牛嘅故事，佢哋嘅屍體被 UFO 外星人吸咗血，仲刻咗圈圈。佢話，好似鬼咁嘅外星人可以逐步離開呢個物質世界，因為佢哋可以穿過牆壁。佢話有啲秘密太空任務係公眾唔知嘅。佢好似我未見過嘅其他人噉。
🔗 Analyze phraseI knew Bratislav, of Croatian descent, personally since 2012, but I had seen him walking his two small dogs in the Lulu Island neighbourhood park in previous years without talking to him. Bratislav was unique in my opinion, as he had a really different reality view than everyone else, it seemed. He recounted stories of farm cows, whose bodies were sapped of blood by UFO aliens and engraved with circles. Ghost-like aliens could phase out of this material world, as they could pass through walls, he said. He said that there were secret space missions about which the public did not know. He was like no other person that I had met.
🔗 Analyze phrase
When I peruse my Social Media, I feel joy looking at the quaint cafés and diners in Japan, the "refresquerías" and "taquerías" in Mexico, and the rustic buffets and homey shopping malls in the Philippines. These things are interesting human activities. But I am thinking of the future. Will machines take over this world? Will the future be something to which people today cannot relate? Will humans become like cats and dogs next to intelligent machinery? After all, today, we humans coexist with cats and dogs. If there will be entities smarter than us humans, how will they relate to us humans? Will our primitive ways coexist with their superfast and higher-level thinking?
媽咪同表妹夏娃成日都會懷念羅馬天主教，當我哋喺屋企食意粉嗰陣就好明顯。佢哋兩個都係改信新教。我已故嘅父親 Frank （或者 Jun ）係我大家庭嘅先驅，佢哋大部分都係羅馬天主教徒，為咗改信。仲有，我嘅祖母 Lydia 跟住嚟。我母親嘅祖父馬卡里奧已經係基督教聯合教會嘅新教徒。佢喺爸爸嘅影響下讀浸信會嘅文獻。我羅馬天主教嘅母親祖母 Bebe 好開心，唔會理呢啲嘢。我嘅祖父皮托（弗朗西斯科飾）聽咗爸爸嘅見證，甚至喺死床上都被轉教，當時佢已經七十幾歲死咗。
🔗 Analyze phraseMama and cousin Eve often wax nostalgic about Roman Catholicism, evident when we have pasta meals at home. They are both converts to Protestantism. My late father Frank (or Jun) was the pioneer in my extended family, largely Roman Catholic, for conversion. Also, my paternal grandmother Lydia followed. My maternal grandfather Macario was already a Protestant of the United Church of Christ. He read literature from Baptists under Papa's influence. My Roman Catholic maternal grandmother Bebe was happy-go-lucky and couldn't care less about these things. My paternal grandfather Pito (Francisco) listened to Papa's witnessing and was proselytized to even at the death bed, when he died in his seventies.
喺2013年6月9號。我認為世界語會生存好耐好耐。呢個係同外國嘅人傾偈嘅好語言。我認為 Lojban 可能喺書面形式上係好啲。我鍾意睇同寫，而唔係講同聽。無論點樣， Lojban 嘅字都係好玩嘅，但係 Lojban 同世界語都有祈禱嘅聲音。我一定要透露一個關於我而家嘅慾望嘅秘密，就係如果我係一個單語人士，我寧願係一個洛伊巴尼語單語人士。呢個就係我今日嘅感覺。但係現實入面，我真係好多語言。
🔗 Analyze phraseIt is the 9th of June of 2013. I opine that Esperanto will live on for a long, long time. It is a good language for talking to someone from abroad. I opine that Lojban is probably better in the written form. I prefer reading and writing it than speaking and listening. In any case, Lojban words are fun to enunciate. Both Lojban and Esperanto have prayerful sounds. I must reveal a secret about my current desire that if I were a monolingual, I would prefer to be a Lojbanic monolingual. That way is how I feel today. But in reality, I am really very multilingual. I know a rainbow of different languages now.
🔗 Analyze phrase
After 6 o'clock in the evening of the 13th of March of 2022, I went a second time to the Lulu Island pizzeria, as a young East Indian man of a Hindu family background served me. Waiting, there was a handsome Mediterranean man with black hair, with a blue cotton jacket and black pants. At my usual corner table, I ate a beef pizza slice and drank iced diet cola. The big screen was showing news from Seattle, with the sound off, as usual. On my way home, on the main road, I noticed that some trees or bushes were already blooming with yellow and pink flowers. I was craving for sauteed eggplant.
晏晝左右落緊雨，又凍又濕。我哋八個屋企人同朋友喺 BC 溫哥華嘅一間越南餐廳 Crab Hot Lau 食。我好鍾意飲熱茶，有荔枝嘅水果味，呢個假期餐廳好擠。我真係好鍾意用 Piper lolot 嘅葉包住嘅豬肉。我個人叫嘅係8號：叉燒配埋粉絲。我仲好鍾意個方形蟹春卷。我阿媽整咗芒果棒，佢帶咗去餐廳食我哋嘅甜品。餐廳附近係一間葡萄牙嘅 Serra Bar Café 。當日係2024年12月25號，即係「聖誕」，亦係光明節嘅第一日。
🔗 Analyze phraseIt was raining around noon, cold and clammy. There were eight of us family and friends at Crab Hot Lau, a Vietnamese restaurant in Vancouver, BC. I enjoyed the hot tea, having a fruity taste like lychee. The restaurant was crowded this holiday. I really enjoyed the pork wrapped in the leaves of the Piper lolot. My individual order was the Number 8: barbecued pork with vermicelli. I enjoyed also the square crab spring rolls. My mother made mango bars, which she brought to the restaurant for our dessert. Near the restaurant was the Serra Bar Café, a Portuguese establishment. It was the 25th of December of 2024, "Krismas" and the first day of Hanukkah.
克羅地亞血統嘅布拉蒂斯拉夫唔係科幻迷，但佢對我對皮爾斯 · 安東尼嘅 Cluster 故事好有興趣，講嘅係間諜技術，星體可以從物理身體入面被救出，並轉移到某個遠方世界嘅外星物理身體，或者小說《亞瑟 · 克拉克齊家族》入面嘅亞瑟 · 克拉克齊家族有錢人喺土星嘅月亮泰坦上面開採甲烷，然後透過克隆嚟一代又一代噉傳播自己，而克隆人布拉迪斯拉夫嘅飛碟學唔似我嘅科幻片，係虛構嘅戲劇化，但係布拉迪斯拉夫喺飛碟學入面搵緊啲事實。
🔗 Analyze phraseBratislav, of Croatian ancestry, is not a sci-fi fan, but he is intrigued by my anecdotes about Piers Anthony's Cluster stories about spy technology wherein the astral body can be extricated out of the physical body and transmigrated into a physical body of an extraterrestrial on some distant world, or about Arthur C. Clarke's novel Imperial Earth wherein the Makenzie (no "c") family become wealthy by mining methane on Saturn's moon Titan and propagate themselves generationally by cloning, the clone cloning himself. Bratislav's ufology is not like my sci-fi. Sci-fi is fictional dramatization, but Bratislav is looking for something factual in ufology. He is searching for a reality.
我哋當中嘅男性鍾意思考未來，就好似女性傾向思考過去一樣。人工智能的確係一個要考慮嘅大「通配符」。人類會與智能機器共存嗎？ AI 會唔會係我哋嘅仆街？定係，我哋人類會成為佢哋嘅奴隸？我哋會唔會好似智能機器旁邊嘅貓狗噉？ AI 會唔會容忍我哋？至少我可以推測：可能太空旅行呢啲危險任務會由 AI 完成。人體會唔會太脆弱，唔適合外太空？「跨人類主義」會唔會將我哋變成更強大嘅存在，有控制論同生物工程嘅部分？呢啲嘢係今日科幻故事嘅內容，但聽日佢哋可能會成為現實⋯
🔗 Analyze phraseThe masculine amongst us like to wonder about the future, as the feminine tend to ponder about the past. Artificial Intelligence is indeed a big "wildcard" to consider. Will humans coexist with intelligent machines? Will AI be our servant? Or, will we humans be their slaves? Will we be like cats and dogs beside intelligent machines? Will AI tolerate us? At least I can conjecture: Maybe dangerous missions like space travel will be done by AI. Will the human body be too fragile for outer space? Will "transhumanism" transform us into stronger beings, with cybernetic and bioengineered parts? These kinds of things are the stuff of science fiction stories today, but tomorrow they may be reality…
🔗 Analyze phrase
Every situation is an opportunity given to you by the universe. If you know how to make the most out of that situation, do it. It will be a wealth that lasts you a lifetime. If you missed out, gave up, or didn't even attempt to take advantage of the opportunity, the universe will set this chance aside for the next person, in a different time and place. But what's most important is that you lost precious time. Understand what you did wrong, and control the present. Then with proper restraint, if you can dance, dance. If you can sing, sing. If you can be wild, be wild. If you can be lively, be lively.
