[U.S. 美國] [Culture] JK Wedding Dance 不一樣的婚禮

Have you imagined what you would be doing on your wedding day?
你曾經有想過你夢想中的結婚典禮會是怎麼樣的嗎？

Does it just involve walking down the aisle, receiving peoples' blessings, putting the rings on each others' fingers, being happily ever after, and anything else?

走上紅地毯，接受親友的祝福，套上戒指，迎向幸福美滿的未來，還有呢？

Here we are showing you something different! This is a clip of Jill and Kevin's wedding (A Real Wedding Video).

這裡有些不太一樣！這個影片可能顛覆你對婚禮的刻板印象。這是關於Jill和Kevin結婚的影片(真實影片)。

Jill and Kevin are from Minnesota, the U.S.

來自美國的Minnesota明尼蘇達州的Jill和Kevin

They met each other in their mutual friends' wedding in 2005.

2005年在朋友的婚禮認識的。

They fell in love, and they want to be with each other forever.

他們墜入愛河，並想要攜手終身，

However, they want to have a wedding entrance that's different than anyone else.

Not only people donate money to them to fundraising for their wedding (so free wedding basically).

不只如此，有很多人想贊助這對新人的婚禮費用(據說他們這個婚禮不需要出到一毛錢)。

Jill and Kevin also donate the money they received to an organization. whose efforts are to end domestic violence, with $34,600 by 1,337 donors as of 9/29/10. 另外他們還捐出多得的募款給一個防止家暴的慈善機構。於2010年9月29日，以得到1337人的募款，並已捐出$34600美元，超過台幣100萬元。

Reached 500 Plus Visits in Less Than 1.5 Months! 賀! 不到一個半月已突破500人次!

Not too long ago, I had a discussion with the Director of Academic Office regarding the concept of having blogs for the students. After numerous trials and modifications, we finally launched "WOW DJ Josh" and "H.E.L.C.” on March 15th, 2011. Today, these two blogs will allow everyone to find out more about cultures in other countries and what is happening in H.E.L.C.


Starting from a simple concept "Music", I started gathering songs that I would like to introduce to students. Today, the blog not only provides music, but it also serves the community with music, animation, funny clips, and many other multimedia components. On April 25th, 2011, we reached our 500th visit in just less than one and half months. Given that the student body has only 726 people, including students and faculty members, this demonstrates that the blog has been a success.


In addition, the H.E.L.C. blog was first intended for the purpose of keeping track of the progress of students in class from a day-to-day basis. Today, this blog is now serving as a showcase platform, demonstrating the activities and the results happening in H.E.L.C., and furthermore, displaying more and more activities that are targeted at our local community. Also within one and half months, we have reached our 300th visit mark!


We sincerely appreciate your support and your comments. We hope to serve you better with whatever we can. Thank you!


在前不久跟教務主任楊主任討論過部落格的想法之後，在經過不斷的嘗試與修改之後，從3月15日正式第一次對外公開,到今天即將屆滿一個月的前夕，這兩個部落格已經成為很多人認識建華英語情境中心與學英語的管道。


"WOW DJ Josh 音樂網" 是以一個純粹以介紹音樂做出發點，到現在匯集各種不團國際文化的影音多媒體部落格，藉此同學多了個管道可以用英語體會不同的文化。從3月15日第一次正式發表, 到滿一個月的前夕, "WOW DJ Josh 音樂網" 已經衝破300人次，至今4月25日已經突破500人次!

另外 "HELC 英語情境部落格"原先規劃要記錄校內同學上課情形，到現在因為情境中心正值推廣全方面與社區結合的，英語情境中心也做為情境中心對外展示成果的平台。短短一個月時間，也衝破了300人次。以師生人數規模比例，成果顯著!

感謝各位對建華情境中心活動推廣的支持，也請多多來訪，給予指教!!

[Soft Rock] Bon Jovi - What Do You Got

America's Best Dance Crew (ABDC) - Jabbawockeez

"Jabbawockeez" is probably the most iconic America's dance group in recent years. Not just because they won the champion of a TV show "America's Best Dance Crew (ABDC)," it's also their style, their choreography, their team spirit, and their mysterious masks that make them so popular in the U.S. 

One of the crew members said, "The reason that we wear masks is because we want the audience to watch us as a group and not as individuals..." However, right before they went to the competition, one of their group member passed away, but it doesn't seem like that incidence discouraged them from being the top. 

Jabbawockeez 或許可以被喻為美國近年來舞蹈團體中最具代表性的團體。不單單因為他們贏到美國電視選秀節目“美國最棒舞蹈團體”America's Best Dance Crew (ABDC) 的總冠軍，更因為他們的舞蹈風格，編舞，團隊精神，和他們神祕的面具讓他們在美國非常受歡迎。

其中一個團員曾說 “我們帶面具的原因是因為面具強迫觀眾注意他們是一個團體，而不是一個個的個體。雖然在選秀節目開始前不久，一個團員過世，但似乎沒有使他們覺得受挫而得不到冠軍。

Many people have asked me where they can find the "birds" video.
Well, here it is! It's from Pixar, the same company who filmed "UP."
Not only is this video clip cute, but it is also won one of the "Oscar-winning Best Short Animated Films."
Here it is. Enjoy!

有很多人問我要到哪裡才可以找到那小鳥的短片

這裡就找得到了！這個短片是由 “皮克斯動畫工作室” （也是拍“天外奇蹟”的工作室）所製作。

這部短片不只可愛，更拿下奧斯卡最佳動畫短片獎呢！

這裡就是那個短片了！Enjoy!

[Pop Rock] GLEE - "Teenage Dream"

Glee is a TV show about a high school singing choir, called the New Directions, that has very different people who all share the same passion for singing. Here! We have a clip by the New Directions. They turn many pop songs, both old and new, into choir style. In fact, Glee has become one of the most popular TV shows in the U.S. TV history. Hope you enjoy!

Glee 是一個美國的電視劇，敘述著一個叫“New Directions" 的合唱團。他們共同擁有的就是他們對音樂的熱忱。這裡我們有個 "New Directions" 的小短片。他們擅長的就是把流行音樂（不管新歌或老歌）以合唱團的方式表現。其實，Glee 已經成為近代美國電視劇史上最成功的電視劇之一。Enjoy!
