IDEA #324：點樣返工最過癮

午飯後有點空閒，去找找有什麽新奇有趣的事物，看到這樣的一段短片：

根據Sweeb單軌車網站稱，Google決定於本年投資100萬美元資助其研究，要推動公共交通的創新。

In 2008 Google Inc. initiated Project 10^100 as a call for ideas to change the world by helping as many people as possible. People from around the world submitted over 150,000 ideas that they wanted to bring to life. "Drive innovation in public transportation" was one of the five winning ideas, voted on by the public. Google Inc. subsequently searched the globe and selected Shweeb as the organisation with the most forward looking transportation vision and with the relevant expertise to implement such an idea. In September 2010 Google Inc. announced an investment of USD1m in SHL to assist with transit research and development. (Shweeb)

記得多年前到大陸，看到很多騎自行車上班上學，就會想："能這樣上班就好"。最近，勝間和代(日籍經營顧問、商業作家)亦提倡踏單車上班(見著作狂銷一八O萬冊 四十歲單親媽媽鼓舞女性圓夢)。

希望有一天人人都可以"踩Tube番工"！

後記：
讀中文，老師都強調要用書面語，不要用廣東話。此舉問題有二。

• 其一，語文乃用作表達，什麽最能表達意思就用什麽。「騎自行車」，強調坐在自行車上面；「踩單車」，強調用腳發力，「踩單車」亦比「踏單車」有力。比較兩者，明顯廣東話比較形象化。「滑滑梯」和「瀡(Sir)滑梯」，明顯是後者的速度感較強。所以，應該以廣東話影響書面語，就如普通話現在都可以說"埋單"一樣(當然，這需要經濟影響力)。
• 其二，硬要分書面語和口語，亦增加無謂的學習困難，這以不用多解釋。

我們對語文的態度亦是對很多問題的態度。公司和社會，都有很多明擺是行不通的東西，但人們仍然傾向維持原狀。如The Milkshake Moment一書的副題所說，我們要Overcoming Stupid Systems, Pointless Policies and Muddled Management to Realize Real Growth。
