Oh God awaken

Connie Lim: I started when I was young. I started writing songs when I was five, and they were all piano-based. Then, I got into dance team in high school, I transitioned out of dance and started writing lyrics to chords, and then I got into a capella [at UC Berkeley]. The a capella group that I was part of was like the group from Pitch Perfect. [laughs] We did the ICCAs [International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella], and I won the regional soloist award, got addicted to songwriting, left my educational path and started doing freelance music.

A cappella (Italian for "in the manner of the church" or "in the manner of the chapel",[1] also see gospel music and choir) music is specifically solo or group singing without instrumental sound, or a piece intended to be performed in this way. It contrasts with cantata, which is accompanied singing.
沒有樂器伴奏，舞台上的人只要開口就有樂音，可以古典、可以爵士，音樂風格可以五花八門，就是阿卡貝拉（A Cappella）無樂器伴奏的純人聲音樂。台灣推廣阿卡貝拉超過10年，孕育出不少優秀團體，也培養了越來越多樂迷，今年夏天就有一場集合眾多阿卡貝拉 樂團共同演出的音樂會，讓人體會「純粹人聲」的十足魅力。

◎羅彥傑
London’s underground train system suffers from so much overcrowding that passengers have to "psyche" themselves up to cope with the stress of using it, according to a report on Tuesday.
倫敦地下鐵路系統深受嚴重擁擠之苦，以致乘客必須先自我「做好心理準備」，以應付搭乘地鐵時的壓力，根據週二的一篇報告指出。
A survey by the London Assembly’s Transport Committee found that 80 percent of travellers endured overcrowding which caused discomfort, while more than half were unable to board the first train at a station because it was packed.
倫敦議會的交通委員會所做的一項調查發現，80%的旅客忍受會造成不適的過度擁擠，而超過半數無法在車站搭上第一班列車，因為車上客滿。
The situation was so bad that "Tube" commuters had to prepare mentally themselves for their journey in order to cope, researchers found.
這個情況糟糕到「管子」（倫敦地鐵的比喻）的通勤族必須先為這趟車程做好心理調適，才能應付得了，研究人員發現。
Their methods included "psyching oneself up for the ’struggle to clamber on board,’" a "dog-eat dog or survival of the fittest attitude" or suspending usual behaviour such as going for a seat even if a pregnant woman or someone with a baby wanted it.
他們的方法包括「『為拚命上車』先做好自我心理建設」，以及「抱持損人利己或者適者生存的態度」，或者暫停諸如找座位等尋常的行為，即便是孕婦或帶著嬰兒的人想要有座位。
