今年以來，書店暢銷榜上異軍突起一股全新的「手作風」：寫字書。手拿硬筆寫出帶有溫度的名言佳句，傳達出自己對生活態度的意念及正面激勵，讓習慣打電腦、滑手機的3C族，一拾筆練字立即入坑（addicted）！
to be addicted 入坑、上癮 A：Hey, John wrote all his wedding invitations by hand! Is he addicted to calligraphy? （約翰手寫全部婚禮邀請函，他手寫入坑了嗎?） B：I know! Technology prevails, but handwriting is coming back since some crave its quality and meaning. （對啊，科技當道，但手寫質感與意義使它重出江湖。） to activate 啟動、生效 A：There's the warmth to handwriting that is missing from machine-generated work. （書寫作品有機器生產的文件所缺少的溫暖。） B：Right! And handwriting activates the regions of our brain responsible for thinking, language, and healing. （而且書寫啟動大腦思考、語言與療癒的區域。） perspective 觀點、看法、展望 A：Handwriting just forces us to slow down and enjoy the moment. （手寫只是強迫我們慢下來，並且活在當下。） B：Correct! The pen compels lucidity, and lucidity offers a different and clear perspective on life. （用筆迫使我們清晰，並帶來明確的生活展望。） 【延伸關鍵字】 1. calligraphy：書寫、書法藝術 2. to obsess：使著迷、使癡迷 3. niche market：小眾、利基市場 多益時事通工作團隊獨家授權
