Nowadays, if you ask young people in Kaohsiung where they like to go, you might be surprised. Apparently the latest “in” place to go is the Zih Jhu Military Dependants’ Village in Zuoying, to stroll around looking at the wall paintings and installation art there.
Word spread on the Internet, and it is now as well known as the Rainbow Military Dependents’ Village in Greater Taichung. During the four-day Tomb Sweeping Day vacation, students flocked in from all around the country. It was estimated that there were thousands of visitors to the village every day, making it almost as popular as the Pier-2 Art Center. People joke that you won’t get lost there, and in fact you’re more likely to get stuck in traffic.
There are still people living in the village. The sound of motorcycles roaring past and the excited shouts of teenagers taking photos around the village is disturbing the locals. Angered by the noise, the residents have taken to putting up signs saying “keep the noise down or keep away.”

All this began last summer vacation when Chung Hui-jung and Huang Hsin-ying, two graduates from Wenzao Ursuline College of Languages, came to the village and lost their way. They ran into a security guard and asked him if it were ok to paint on the walls. He told them they could paint as much as they wanted, as the place was going to be torn down anyway. And that’s how it all got started.
The two girls then brought paint and improvised. They wrote about it on their blog and on Facebook, and it gradually developed a following. Students from the nearby Kaohsiung Municipal Haicing Vocational High School of Technology and Commerce joined in and started to paint the walls in the village.
The continuous flow of youngsters may have disturbed some old people’s afternoon sleep, but it also brought unexpected business opportunities to the village’s few remaining shops. The owner of a popular shop selling crispy rolls, outside which there was a long queue of customers, said that he had never seen so many young people in the village.

透過網路流傳，「眷村裡迷路」最近爆紅，名氣不輸台中彩虹眷村。四天清明連假，外地的學生族群慕名而來，估計每天來往的人潮至少數千人，人氣直逼駁二藝術特區，有人揶揄說「眷村裡不會迷路，但是會塞車！」
不過，自助新村目前仍有住戶，機車呼嘯而過，加上年輕人拍照時的興奮叫鬧聲，已打擾到住戶生活，氣得開始掛起「請大家輕聲細語，違者滾出去」的抗議看板。
故事的緣起是去年暑假，文藻外語學院畢業生鍾慧蓉、黃馨瑩來到自助新村，在眷村裡迷了路，遇到當地的管區員警問說：「我們可以在這裡畫畫嗎？」員警阿莎力回答：「反正這裡要拆了，儘管畫吧！」就這樣，意外開啟這段美麗的機緣。
兩名大女孩搬來油漆，開始即興彩繪創作，透過部落格和臉書，逐漸吸引年輕人目光，隔壁海青工商學生也加入行列，在眷村牆壁上塗鴉創作。
年輕人絡繹不絕，確實影響了一些老伯伯的午睡，但也為眷村裡僅剩的幾家商店帶來意外商機，一家知名的脆皮捲餅，門口排了幾十公尺長的人龍，老闆說，從沒看過自助新村湧入這麼多年輕人。

How to write an effective resume 英文履歷攻略！避開這五種NG詞彙 履歷是個人經驗的精華摘要，更是企業評斷求職者的第一關卡，為了展現自我，不少求職者會將履歷寫的「文謅謅」甚至「過於繁瑣」。依據人力銀行研究調查，人資平均只花八點八秒看一封履歷，若是履歷中有太多不相關的內容或是文字不夠精準，很容易就被「秒刪」。 根據麻省理工學院職涯輔導專家Lily Zhang在「The Muse」網站裡發表關於履歷表的禁忌用語一文，有五個常見但最好別出現在履歷內的英文字彙。本次就來檢查一下你的履歷表裡有沒有以下單字，這些單字也經常出現在TOEIC測驗中喔。 Utilize使用 utilize的定義為「make practical and effective use of」，意思是這個「使用」可以帶來極大效益。然而，許多人為了讓自己的文章看起來更有模有樣，反而濫用了這個字。其實當use就足以表達的時候，過度使用utilize反而會過於裝模作樣。 Assist協助 這個單字經常用來表達你不是主要的出力者，但有「偶爾幫忙」的意味。許多求職者無意間會在履歷中過度使用這個單字，但其實可以用更有力的單字替代，例如collaborate「合作」、contribute to「貢獻」，代表你也是主力成員，對這個案子貢獻許多。 Collaborated with other senior engineers to assure new software available for customers. （我曾與其他資深的工程師合作，確保顧客能隨時使用新的軟體。） I have contributed to the implementation of the new billing system. （我曾貢獻一己之力，幫助建立新的收費系統 。） Responsible for負責、掌管 這是個較籠統的詞彙，無法確實表達求職者真正的成就，若要清楚說明自身貢獻及能力，建議選用一些強而有力的單字，以確實表達過去的經驗。 Responsible for the proposal and implementation of the new processing procedure. （負責新處理程序的提出和實施。） Proposed and implemented the new processing procedure. （提出並執行了新的處理程序。） 前者的敘述不僅有多此一舉的感覺，而且不夠明確，反觀後者一針見血表達求職者為某新程序的發起者並且同時是執行者。 Worked執行 work也是較為籠統的字彙，若在履歷中使用這個字可能無法引起人資的注意。這時候越有力量的單字越能讓人眼睛一亮，建議嘗試用calculated、facilitated、doubled、launched、reduced等更強而有力的單字，或許會有意想不到的效果！ Facilitated meetings for approval, design, and assembly of new polyfilm applicator. （負責籌劃執行新的複合膜器的通過、設計及組合各事項等的會議。） Something-ly 這裡指的是任何字尾是「-ly」的單字，也就是所謂的「副詞」。由於履歷表的空間有限，不建議使用太多副詞去堆疊修飾，因此尋找適合的動詞變成首要工作，如此一來能避免用太多副詞來附加說明。 Investigated psychophysiology, schema and depression in young adolescents. （調查青年的心理生理學、圖示理論以及憂鬱症現象。） investigate為「調查」之意，這裡明確地指出求職者的研究領域以及主題，是履歷中常見的好用句型。 文章由TOEIC Program Taiwan · Chun Shin提供： www.facebook.com/ToeicProgramTaiwan
