  5. Book Review #1. 「老大哥」的終極監控時代：《1984》｜Big Brother is Watching You!

    Book Review #1. 「老大哥」的終極監控時代：《1984》｜Big Brother is Watching You!

    Have you ever watched "The Hunger Games" movie franchise? Or have you read any dystopian fiction? 1984 by George Orwell is one of the most classic dystopian fiction of all time. In this episode, we're gonna dive into the world of 1984 and see what's so fascinating yet horrifying about this dystopian social science fiction. - Mentioned Quotes: "To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which canceled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word—doublethink—involved the use of doublethink." "If one is to rule and to continue ruling, one must be able to dislocate the sense of reality. For the secret of rulership is to combine a belief in one's own infallibility with the power to learn from past mistakes." "Those who control the present, control the past, and those who control the past, control the future." - 【Podcast 關鍵字】  non-fiction (n.) 非虛構作品 fiction (n.) 虛構小說 sprinkle (v.) 撒 bullet point (n.) 要點 ramble (v.) 閒談 dystopia (n.) 反烏托邦 utopia (n.) 烏托邦 dehumanized (adj.) 去人性化的 tyrannical (adj.) 專制的 adapt into (phr.) 改編成 imagined (adj.) 想像的 superstate (n.) 超級國家 totalitarian (adj.) 極權主義的 protagonist (n.) 主角 ministry (n.) 部；內閣 ration (v.) 配給 distribution (n.) 分配 goods (n.) 貨物 domestic (adj.) 國內的 identify (v.) 辨識 monitor (v.) 監控 torture (v.) 折磨；拷打 convert (v.) 轉變 inner (adj.) 內部的/outer (adj.) 外部的 propaganda (n.) 政治宣傳 prole (n.) 窮人；無產者 poverty (n.) 貧窮 narrative (v.) 陳述 relevant (adj.) 相關的 Newspeak (n.) 新語（大洋國官方語言） purpose (n.) 目的 reduce (v.) 減少 capacity (n.) 理解能力 limit (v.) 限制 lack (n.) 缺少 telescreen (n.) 電幕（具電視及遠端監視功能的螢幕） antique (n.) 古董 rebellion (n.) 反抗 thoughtcriminal (n.) 思想犯 unknown (adj.) 不知名的 affair (n.) 情事 forbid (v.) 禁止 reproduction (n.) 生育 underground (adj.) 地下的 claim (v.) 聲稱 philosophy (n.) 哲學 slavery (n.) 奴隸制度 capture (v.) 抓捕 patriotism (n.) 愛國心 manipulate (v.) 操縱 imprison (v.) 監禁 re-educate (v.) 再教育 practice (v.) 實踐 doublethink (n.) 雙重思想 self-deceive (n.) 自我欺騙 truthfulness (n.) 真實性 simultaneously (adv.) 同時地 cancel out (phr.) 抵銷 contradictory (adj.) 矛盾的 repudiate (v.) 否認 morality (n.) 道德 lay claim to (phr.) 宣稱有 guardian (n.) 守護者 promptly (adv.) 立刻地 subtlety (n.) 奧妙之處 consciously (adv.) 自覺地 induce (v.) 促使；誘導 unconsciousness (n.) 無意識 hypnosis (n.) 催眠 slogan (n.) 口號；標語 be concerned with (phr.) 與…有關 starvation (n.) 飢荒 interrogation (n.) 審訊 rule (v.) 統治 dislocate (v.) 擾亂 rulership (n.) 統治權 combine (v.) 結合 infallibility (n.) 無誤；絕對正確 adjust (v.) 調整 alter (v.) 改變 favor (n.) 受惠 contradict (v.) 抵觸 depict (v.) 描寫 dictatorship (n.) 獨裁 totalitarianism (n.) 極權主義
