EntitledS2E4: The Equity/Equality EquationThere are two words that sound pretty similar, but they're not synonyms: equality and equity. While equality means that everybody should be given the same resources or opportunities, equity recognizes that we live in an unequal system, so we need to allocate more resources and opportunities to people without equal access. So, what does it really mean to live in an equitable society?

啟安老師亂講話啟安老師亂講話ep32：〔貴人恩師系列：范家銘教授Damien〕台大翻譯碩士學位學程助理教授，啟安老師研究所時期的恩師、以及論文指導教授。啟安老師的老師講話要聽！請啟安老師喝杯茶，繼續亂講話！
https://is.gd/3Pg9DE
啟安老師糾結研究所該選擇台大或師大，Damien教授在不認識我的情況下，給了我最精闢的分析，直接影響我的決定。
當年台大尚未開設翻譯學程，Damien教授在就讀外文系時如何開始接觸口譯？又如何誤打誤撞進入師大翻譯研究所就讀？
當年師大翻譯研究所的畢業學分將近70學分！？
兩年半神速從翻譯所畢業，什麼妖術！！？？
自由接案者看似單打獨鬥，實際上取得前輩、同儕、和客戶的認可才是關鍵。
當一個譯者要有自知之明、具備後設認知的能力，更要精益求精。
遇到性騷擾怎麼辦？「被迫」搶別人案子的時候怎麼辦？江湖比你想像得更險惡。
Damien教授曾經幫唐獎法治獎得主、前南非大法官Albie Sachs翻譯，是一個相當震撼的經驗！
Damien教授曾經幫美國知名導演Martin Scorsese翻譯，見識到大師的真心、細心、貼心。
國際會議口譯員協會（AIIC）是什麼？很厲害嗎？要怎麼加入？
Damien教授在業界已經闖出名堂，為什麼會回到學校教書？
老師授課前自己要先做過課程的素材，就像教練上課前自己要先做過課表的動作，才能夠真正教學相長。
語言能力不是翻譯的一切，但語言能力不夠就不用談翻譯了。
認知功能和人格特質可能比語言能力夠重要！？
要精熟任何技能，規律接觸才是關鍵。2022-02-181h 23
