今天我将重点给大家推荐几个维度,这些维度可应用在所有part 2人物类的第一小问。
01
Health
“健康”是我非常推崇的一个维度,它可以让我们看到另一类人—Disabled people (残疾人)。说实话,残疾人很少会出现在大家的话题里,但他们的出现会让话题变得很有意义。
第一,他们可以体现出身残志坚的品质;
第二,他们也可以体现出天赋异禀的特质。
毕竟“上帝关上一扇门推开一扇窗”,虽然身体残疾,但另有长处。
案例一:喜欢的歌手
A singer that comes to mind is Yonedzu Kenshi 米津玄师, a well-known Japanese musician. He suffers from autism 自闭症, but he shows great talent for music. When his first song lemon was released, it went viral overnight 一夜爆红 and it helped him rise to stardom 瞬间成名. Now he has a huge following.
案例二:有名的运动员 I would like to talk about a disabled athlete from China. She gave herself an English name called Reborn, as she was rescued from the earthquake. However, she still lost her legs. She is a very optimistic person who didn’t give up on life. Instead, she focused on the positives and refused to look back.
It was then she found her talent for Pingpong. After that, she devoted all her time to it. With great effort, she finally won the championship in the last Olympic Games.
02
Age
年龄这个维度看似平淡,但也可以带起稍许涟漪,当你在年龄之后,加上了连词“but”。这也就意味着我们需要展现出这个人不同于自身年龄的特征。
年轻人具备年长之人的特性;老年人具备年轻人的特性。
案例:尊敬的年长之人
Example one:
A person that comes to mind is my grandpa who is getting on for 接近 80 but doesn’t look his age 不像他的年纪. He is still as fit as a fiddle 很健康.
Example two:
A person that comes to mind is my friend who is my age but doesn’t look it. She has a brilliant mind and is kind of like a walking encyclopedia 行走的百科全书. No matter what sort of problems I face, I always turn to her for help.
03
Martial status
“婚姻状况”分为“单身/结婚/离婚/丧偶”。
30岁单身不奇怪,为了让人物更具故事性,我们可以提高他的年纪,比如80岁。为此,一个80岁终身未婚的老人就很有探讨意义。
案例:尊敬的年长之人
An old person that comes to mind is my neighbor, who is getting on for 70. He never married and lives alone, but he has a very fulfilling 充实的 life. He takes care of the stray cats and dogs 流浪猫狗 and protects them from people.
婚姻里有忠诚,也有不忠。任何一个人都有可能犯错,但也不影响他发挥才能。
案例:崇拜的商人
A businessperson that comes to mind is Elon Musk, one of the most successful businessmen in the world. Even though he is not faithful to his girlfriends and wives, undeniably he has a super-brain. He always solves problems in a smart way.
离异和丧偶看似都很悲,但也可以体现出一个人的坚强,能迅速从中抽离出来。
案例:崇拜的商人
A businessperson that comes to mind is Dong Mingzhu, the founder of a famous appliance company called Glee. Even though she has a successful business career, her life has been full of misfortunes. When her son was only two, her husband died of cancer.
Even though it was a very heartbreaking time, she found the strength to carry on and started her career. Now she is the breadwinner 挣钱养家的人 and supports her whole family.
04
Education background
“教育背景”可分为“受教育程度高”和“受教育程度低”两种。
若其受过高等教育,我们可以思考下他的学校以及这个学校对他产生的影响。名校不仅教授知识,还会给予足够的资源。
案例:崇拜的商人
Example one:
A businessman I admire is Charlwin Mao, the founder of The Red 小红书, a very popular app that combines the community values of social media with the practicality of E-commerce 社交和电商相结合.
He graduated from Stanford, a top-notch 一流的 American university, even though his dream was to go to Harvard. His time at Stanford gave him the knowledge and resources to create his own business. Now he is one of the most successful businessmen in China.
Example two:
A sportsperson that comes to mind is Yang Qian, the shooting champion 射击冠军 of the last Olympic Games. She is an athlete and also an undergraduate of Tsinghua University, a top-notch university in my country.
Her great performance in the game and good degree helped her rise to stardom 瞬间成名 in a very short time. Now she has a huge following.
若其受教育程度不高,他可能目不识丁,也有可能天赋异禀,或者具备吃苦耐劳的精神。
案例:崇拜的商人 I would like to talk about my uncle, a successful businessman and a person I admire. Even though he doesn’t have a university degree, he managed to build a very successful business. He started from scratch 白手起家, overcame many challenges and obstacles and it all paid off 有成效.
05
Name
“名字”看似普通,但别忘了还有“nickname”。绰号就有很多值得拓展的细节,它可能可以体现一个人的外貌、性格、行为举止或者学识等。为此,我们可以通过绰号来体现这个人的其他方面。
案例:不喜欢但不得不有好的人
A person that comes to mind is my foreign tutor, Bob, from the U.S. He is tall and a bit overweight with bald hair 秃顶. Because of this, we nicknamed him the White Egg. He was really angry about the name when he first heard about it and thought we were really horrible and offensive students.
案例:有名的运动员
The athlete I would like to talk about is the late 已故的 Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest basketball players in NBA history. He was nicknamed the “Black Mamba”, as he was very fast and aggressive in the game just like a real black mamba snake. He was fearless 无所畏惧的 and always rose to a challenge and never gave up.
案例:崇拜的商人 A businessman I admire is Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba. Interestingly, he has a very funny nickname “Father ” which was given to him by all the young people in China. As he is one of the richest people in the country, they all want to be his children, so they can enjoy a luxurious life and have money to burn 有花不完的钱.
06
Zodiac sign
“星座”这个维度虽不是所有人都感兴趣,但它的确是一个不错的拓展维度。因为我们可以从星座来体现一个人的性格特征。
案例:有名的运动员
I would like to talk about Michael Jordan, the King of Basketball. He is a very typical Aquarius 水瓶座, because he has a strong sense of equality and justice and likes to help others. He loves to be in a group but also likes to be by himself from time to time. He is very motivated and driven and he always did his best for his team.
案例:崇拜的商人
Example one: I am sure Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, has been described by many students already, but I would like to talk about him because. I have admired him for the last decade. He is a typical Virgo, as he is a perfectionist 完美主义者. He takes everything he works on and every decision he makes very seriously. I think it’s the secret to his success 成功的秘诀.
Example two: I am going to talk about Pony Ma, the founder of Tencent. Both of us are Scorpios, so there are lots of similarities between us. He is extremely ambitious, motivated, and determined. He is also able to accomplish anything that he puts his mind to 用心做某事 and won’t give up easily. Because of this, he is hugely successful in the business world.
