- 二〇〇九年十二月一日酉時 — 被動式迷思?
早前,與朋友閒談時,得悉原來「英文人」也覺自己濫用了被動式。接着我又即便問問一些常與外國人聯絡的朋友,實情又是否如此。他說道電郵聯絡時,確有許多被動句。當然,世事無絕對,不會人人如此,但此已成風,就是事實。「英文人」事事用被動,似乎已積錯難返。可能你會問,就是句句用被動又有何問題?被動幾方便,又不用指名道姓,不含主語,且更為客觀,亦都客氣些,不好嗎?被動式的問題正在於此,就是令人誤以為更為客觀,事實又是否如此呢?其實人人都知字是由人寫,不會平白出現,所以不會因為你用被動式就變得客觀……別妄想啦……另外,主動式一樣可以很客氣。此外,用被動式亦會令句子變得冗長,不信自己試試吧。靈活度亦相對欠奉。通篇被動句,你不厭,我也膩。少用些吧。
而近年此風亦由英文吹入中文,中文更方便,動詞前加個「被」字就即轉為被動式。似乎因為這麼方便,所以有時看一篇文章就見筆者事無大小都用被動,一讀便知這篇東東是西來之物。中文是有被動式,但絕不常用。個人有時一聽到個「被」字更倍覺礙耳,明明用主動句就可以,為何要用被動呢?中文有別於英文,英文定要置名詞於首,中文則非必然。有時亦可略去。既然連「英文人」都始覺濫用成風,我們又何必效之。切記被動不會令句子變得客觀,亦不會更為客氣,別誤會了。要客氣的話,則可用發展已久的敬辭與謙辭,用被動則絕無此效。減少寫歐化中文,最為緊要。切記此風不可長。
真的要用被動式前,先問一問自己這是否必要。切記中文語境中絕不慣使用被動式。如以為要用,則請再細想,該動辭能否配「被」,別誤會,並非每個動詞都可以配「被」,或者要配「被」。近來見「某物被建議什麼什麼」,事實是你想一想就會發現,「建議」是不可以用於被動式,否則都頗難明難解。只要將句子改為「有建議某物什麼什麼」不就可以啦。就是用被動式,也別通篇「被」,因為還有「遭」、「受」、「獲」……無數個被動展示辭。轉換多些就沒那麼悶啦……
以上愚見,倘有所缺失,歡迎斧正,得蒙賜教,曷勝榮藉。
- 二〇〇九年八月廿四日申時 - Vector and Monobook
加入三年,首次見到維基媒體基金會那麼著力去測試一個Skin,不就說明她遲些會完全更換?! 其實個人也頗喜歡Vector Skin,夠現代嗎。不過還有些問題未解決,就暫時不轉用。尤其最嚴重的問題是我的編輯工具消失了於天與地之間,這究竟是我的問題,還是還有其他人也碰到這個問題?但願有人幫忙解決一下……

個人一直不主張封禁可以解決問題反而會把問題弄大、弄得更煩人,近來又經歷了一些事情,足以印證這點。唉…尤其不主張封禁一些活躍又有心貢獻維基的用戶,一來傷感情,又要遭人罵(無論決定是對還是錯|我可不是犯賤或者變態,不讓人罵過不安樂),而且最重要是作用非常有限(我相信大家多少會同意這點吧),不過當本人沒空間再退時,沒選擇空間時,仍會硬著頭皮去幹這件吃力不討好的事。但真的不想……

望穿秋水,終於等到,我所講的是終於有用戶協助修改校對在下於2009年度維基媒體國際大會官方網站中差劣的翻譯,實在令人振奮。在沒有人著手翻譯的情況下,小弟唯有用著自己差劣的翻譯功夫硬著頭皮去幹。現在有位,以我所知讀過傳理系,有著專業知識的用戶幫忙,是我們當應欣喜。只少大家不用再忍受小弟的粗劣翻譯。
而對方亦不吝指出在下不足之處,沒有批評,又何來進步?我著實要感謝他點出我不足之處。應當永誌弗諼。
受批評時,又豈須理會對方背景為何呢?只要有理,當應悅納無猶。至於有理與否,自在人心歟!

今日,一個好好的管理員Ben.MQ決定辭任。雖然不捨,但我目前可以做的就只有尊重他的決定。希望他會於未來適當時機再次出任。
維基百科是一個講求互信忍讓的地方,可惜的是現在維基人之間大多都缺乏這個,實在令人遺憾。在維基百科中,其實管理團隊由始至終絕對,亦都應該只有一個。不是當了管理員或是行政員才是其中一員,而是由您忍不了手做了第一下編輯開始,您就是維基百科管理團體的一員。維基百科是好是歹,每一位管理團隊成員都有責任。究竟編輯維基時,除了要靠社群共識行事,互信忍讓亦都非常重要,甚至比起覓取共識更重要,沒了互信忍讓,談何覓取共識?個人編輯維基百科就近三年,說長不長,但短也不短。不知是本人愚昧不堪,蠢鈍不已,還是怎麼,本人始終不覺有所謂的結黨營私。期望維基中人在議事時,做到互信忍讓,再以此為基,覓取共識。
近來在想究竟管理員權限是什麼?榮譽?權力?沒有什麼大不了?還是迦鎖?近來在維基擔任管理員就好像公敵一樣,實在令人疲憊不堪,實在想離開一段時間,不過經過之前那一次經驗看來,除非我請辭,否則也很難有一個假期。最後一樣放假前會做的事,就是將英文維基百科那個管理員自願請辭後復任安排引入。雖然的確有點私心,不過這個也未嘗不是個好安排,希望大家到時支持。無論結果如何,放假就是一定的。
- 二〇〇九年五月十二日‧五一二四川大地震一週年
悼
念上年今日因於四川汶川所發生的黎克特製八級大地震以喪生的死者,亦祝願倖存者活出更豐盛的人生,盡快走出大地震所留下的陰霾。今日是二零零九年五月十二日,一年前,二零零八年五月十二日,震撼整個世界,傾刻奪去無數生命,令無數家庭從此家不成家的大地震降臨四川。在地震中逝世固然不幸,而倖存者亦要面對與家人從此陰陽相隔的傷痛。實在無論幸存者還是死者,這場災難都為他們帶來極大的不幸。慶幸的是,中國人在此以後,積極發揮著團結的精神,「一方有難,八方支援」。另外,外國多方亦紛紛伸出援手。這都鼓勵著四川的災民,走出災難的陰霾,活出他們更璀璨的人生。在此僅希望死者獲得安息,幸存者盡快走出傷痛,活出更豐盛人生。

Finally worked out the open of rollback and patrol privileges, and can take my ease. I know it can have a lot of to improve during the process, especially the arrangement of the agenda. As I remember, it has some arguments about the order of the discussions and polls of the basic requirements of getting rights and the methods to grant rights. Anyway, it has been settled. I'll introspect with the whole processes and make an improvement. I must say thank you to PhiLi, Shizhao, BenMQ, Altt311 and Hat600, who help me a lot throughout the processes.
- 二〇〇九年四月十七日下午 —— Wikipedia:投票不能代替討論?
其實刪除投票自上年八月十二日伊始更名為存廢討論,為的當然是副題中提到的不要讓投票取代討論。然而,實際上,似乎此風未改,投票依舊在不斷進行。有些用戶表態後是寫了一些無關痛癢的語句,而不是針對著提刪者或持相反意見者的理據遂點撃落。在結束討論時,如果當這是投票般結束是肯定沒有問題的,但這又好像與當初改名的目的有所違背。若然依據與會者各人的理據決定結果,斷定共識為何,而且從輕處理投票的結果,其實目前而言是非常難,一是與會者未準備好,另外,其實這也很難拿捏。今天可算是本人正式使用此方法去判斷結果,而投票結果則從輕,雖則這很有機會惹來爭議,但我相信可以透過傾談討論解決它們。繼續努力,好好去學習拿捏討論的共識為何是我目前最急切要去學會的事。如果在未來的日子中您對結果不滿,尚祈見諒。所履所歷宜誌心懷弗諼。
- 1st April, 2009 APRIL FOOL'S DAY'S AFTERNOON

Today is the day for Financial Secretary to give his second Budget Speech. However, his speech was disrupted and adjourned by members of LSD. No matter what the contents of the speech is, I don't think such behaviors can be accepted and supported. I start to doubt that whether they suitable to be the legislator or not. I can't accept people with no manner to be one of the legislators. Such Behaviors will affect children and teenagers. It will totally set a bad example to them. You just tell them violences can solve everythings. I think such behaviors should be criticized and condemned. Could you please be civilized and polite.
- 二〇〇九年二月二十日 下午 ——「一失足成千古恨」
在前兩日,小弟遇到兩個機械人操作錯誤以至產生破壞和一位熱心用戶,努力竭止這兩個機械人出錯。結果是小弟錯誤地把熱心用戶封了,這點已足證本人對維基方針的不熟習,以至作出錯誤決定。是我把之視於過輕?是我開始忽略用戶感受嗎?看來無論如何,我也極需要複習維基中的方針,亦需要複習維基中的各樣操作。

As below, I said that I would have vacation started from 16th January, 2009, but I didn't. I just give up some regular duties and reduce the activities after that. But I back to wiki again during the Lunar New Year Vacation. Obviously, I cannot strictly firmly stick on my goals, concentrate on my study and get my best result in HKAL. Tomorrow is the start of February, I'd like to make use of this start to make a change. I wanna overcome my laziness and meet my goal before the arrival of the examination. I'd complete it base on greater determination and not treat here as a shelter again. I will force myself not to arrive here unless the exam ended. Just say again, see you later here, my friends. ^^

Once I online, it has several users detained me and called me to watch sysops' resignation and my user talk. Anyway, I'd like to say thank you, thank for your detainment and trust, and am sorry causing your worry. I decided to stay and started to have vacation. I'll fully pay respect to the community consensus (which about my adminship). By the way, see you later here, my friends. ^^

I have been an administrator for about five months, not a long period of time, but I have learned a lot during this period of time. I'd like to say thank to Cdip150, who trusted me and noiminated me as an administrator. And finally I have authorized by community on September 2008, which is honorable to me. In these five months, it has a user asked my view on being noiminated as bureaucrats, however I declined. I thought it's not a siutable time for me to be a bureaucrats. By the way, thank for his trust. Actually, I changed a lot after being admin, I seldom to write articles now but spend more time on maintenance of wiki, to provide a suitable environment for other users. From these duties, I learned a lot. But I think it is the time for me learning how to put down. Time is limited, I cannot spend time on wiki as past, I must fully concentrate on study now to get my best result. I do not wanna place the logo on my userpage but do nothing. I'm sorry to those who trusted me and voted for me for misleading you, I believed me I can make a good balance on time but I can't. Anyway, I'd continue to contribute here after the examination.
