省思醒語
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
 
 

When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.

範文賞析
SPOTLIGHT


江介維老師 撰文 (Jie-Wei Jiang, Editor of AWEC Newsletter, NTU)

照片說明文字競賽緣由與示例
 
(The Origin and Exemplification of the Caption Contest)
 
《國家地理雜誌》(National Geographic)於2016年舉辦首次National Geographic’s Photo Caption Contest,廣邀全球讀者參與照片說明文字競賽。《國家地理雜誌》最廣為人知的就是以精緻、動人的照片搭配同樣精采、引人入勝的文字,帶領讀者進入圖文並茂的專題報導。
 
本文列舉該年賽事的得獎作品,簡單分析得獎者的文字經營方法,讓有意參加本年度由臺大寫作教學中心電子報所舉辦2022 AWEC Newsletter Caption Competition的讀者,能從中擷取圖文創作的靈感。
    
      
     PHOTOGRAPH BY EMORY KRISTOF, NAT GEO IMAGE COLLECTION
 
《國家地理雜誌》在官網上公布三位得獎者,針對以上附圖照片,所撰寫的照片說明文字作品,引述如下:
                                                                                                                   
The winner (Jacob Coleman):
What really goes on aboard Boaty McBoatface
 
The runner-up (Chelsea Hodgkins):
Disney partners with MTV to remake the Little Mermaid
—Real World style.
 
The runner-up (Holly Miller):
Meanwhile at Neptune’s retirement party
 
第一位得獎者的作品提及Boaty McBoatface,該名稱指的是英國首屈一指的研究船隻,由三艘遠程級機器人鋰電池供電的水下自主航行器組成,主要用於極地的科學研究。得獎者的照片說明文字,以幽默的口吻揭露頂級研究船的神秘面紗,從照片上來看,原來船上工作人員的實際工作情況是如此歡愉愜意。 
 
第二位得獎者的作品提及家喻户曉的迪士尼與迪士尼動畫《小美人魚》,談及他們與音樂電視頻道(MTV)合作,重新製作真實世界版本的《小美人魚》。其中語氣帶著些許揶揄,真人版本的作品,恐將讓原本動畫版本的粉絲,幻想破滅。
 
第三位得獎者的作品提及羅馬神話的海神Neptune,在遨遊無垠汪洋數個世紀之後,終於也是時候放下手中的三叉戟,享受退休生活,為此舉辦了一場活力繽紛、海風吹送的海神退休派對。
 
從這三位得獎者的作品來看,我們讀到了高科技的研究用船、廣為人知的動畫經典作品,以及羅馬神話的相關典故。他們的共通點在於善用已知的情報與對應聯想,並且植入風趣或調侃的元素,來逆反讀者原本記憶中裏的認知,藉此營造出文字趣味,以及圖文並茂的專屬魅力。這也是寫作中心電子報舉辦本次徵文賽事的初衷,希望能寓教於樂,引領讀者探索文字與圖片之間無限的對話空間。

人員專訪
STAR OF THE MONTH

受訪者:余沛錞 (Interviewee: Terri Yu, Adjunct Assistant Professor of AWEC)

            

A picture is worth a thousand words. Here are two photos of her family: herself and her husband on the left and her sons on the right. Dr. Terri, a new faculty member in AWEC, has a lovely big family of her own. In 2018, she and her three kids spent a year in Penrith, Australia where she was in the final year of her doctoral study. In the same year, she was conducting research projects with faculty members at Education School at Western Sydney University as a role of exchange scholar sponsored by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC).

“Family is everything and it means a lot to me,” said Terri. She always puts family first and yet strives her best to advance professional knowledge and skills in higher education. Dr. Yu’s research areas include English academic writing, Bilingual and STEAM education, and engagement in second language learning studies in higher education. Terri mentioned, “Life is bumpy sometimes, just like the photo of my second son whose popsicle dropped on the floor near the poolside. When you think you lose something, you may gain something new instead.” She has faith that teaching in AWEC is a new journey for her and future students to grow and define themselves through writing.
