【國立臺灣大學 109學年度畢業典禮 校長致詞】
Opening Remarks, National Taiwan University Commencement 2021
President Dr. Chung-Ming Kuan
.
各位師長同仁,各位畢業同學以及家長們,歡迎大家參加 109 學年度的線上畢業典禮。
去年新冠疫情初起,學校雖仍舉辦實體的畢業典禮,但規模大為縮小,許多師生和家長均以無法參加典禮為憾。今年初臺灣的疫情持續穩定,大家原本期待今年畢業典禮能按照往年方式辦理。不料五月時疫情急轉直下,臺北市疫情警戒程度提高,我們於是推遲畢業典禮,並改以線上方式進行。這也是臺大首次以線上方式舉辦畢業典禮。
隨著疫情發展,線上活動如今已成為生活中的新常態。我們雖逐漸習慣線上教學,線上會議,線上交流,線上購物訂餐等,但連期待了四年的畢業典禮也只能在線上參加,許多同學與家長們難免失望。為此,學務處與許多同學攜手,精心策劃了今天這場特殊的線上畢業典禮,希望能讓大家留下不一樣,但仍美好的記憶。
因為新冠疫情,有些同學會抱怨:這樣大的疫情怎麼就正好被我們在畢業時碰上了?也有些同學則樂觀的想,一旦有了疫苗,疫情得到控制,世界最終還是會回到以前的軌道,大家仍可以過著平穩安定的日子。
然而這個世界從不曾平靜。今年畢業的同學多數出生於1999 年,那正是規模達 7.3 的 921 大地震發生的那一年。時隔四年,亞洲(包括臺灣)爆發了罕見的急性呼吸道感染病 SARS。不過五年之後,源自美國的金融海嘯席捲全球,影響全世界經濟數年之久。2009 更是不平靜的一年,臺灣出現莫拉克風災,造成慘重傷亡;全球則爆發了 H1N1 流感大流行,數十萬人因此死亡。這些當時都曾被認為是數十年(甚至百年)一遇的重大災難。
回顧二十多年來的這些事件(這還僅僅是一部份與臺灣相關的事件),我們就會發現:巨大的天災人禍,過去曾頻繁出現,未來應該也不會少見。
當然,新冠疫情的影響範圍遠超過 SARS 與 H1N1 流感,對世界的衝擊則更大於金融海嘯。近代能與這次疫情相比的是一百年前 (1918-1920) 的全球流感大流行;據後來估計,當時全世界人口三分之一染疫,約有五千萬人因此不幸喪生。
那次流感爆發時正值第一次世界大戰末期,對當時的德軍主力造成嚴重打擊。而後疫情時代,戰敗的德國被列強宰割,奧匈帝國及奧圖曼帝國亦隨之瓦解,徹底改變了舊的國際秩序,也為後來的世局(從歐陸,到中東和亞洲)埋下許多不安定的種子。
這次新冠疫情並未伴隨著世界大戰,但出現在國際強權針鋒相對,世界產業供應鏈重整的關鍵時刻;後疫情時代因此充滿不確定性。而重組後的國際政經秩序,我不知道那會是一個「美好或不美好的新世界」*,但它就是大家必須面對的世界。那裡將充滿挑戰和機會,如何善用所學回應挑戰,如何從機會中脫穎而出,都是大家新的功課。這些功課沒有標準答案,你們必須自己解答,自己審閱答案。
我也希望利用這個機會提醒同學們,對於正在醫療前線奮戰的眾多醫護人員,其中包括了許多學校師長與大家的學長姐們,我們一定要心存感念。當疫情大浪襲來時,他們勇往直前,力挽狂瀾,不僅保護病人,也捍衛著臺灣社會。他們是真正的英雄。只要大家共同努力,疫情終會過去,我們一定會贏得抗疫的最後勝利。
最後,我謹代表所有老師和行政主管,向所有畢業同學們表達最深切的祝福,也恭喜辛苦多年的家長們。敬祝大家未來一切順利,身體健康
最後我還想講幾句話。我記得我看過一篇外國人寫的文章,他說他在臺灣多年,注意到臺灣有個很奇怪的習慣,朋友分手時都常常會說:「要小心哦」。我看到這篇文章的時候,也突然心有所感;多年來我媽媽每次看到我出門時會跟我講這句話,而後來我跟自己的小孩,也會講這樣的話。所以在畢業典禮這個時刻,我敬祝大家未來一切順利,身體健康,大家都要小心哦!

When the COVID-19 pandemic began last year, NTU was still able to hold graduation ceremonies in person but on a much smaller scale and with the absence of many faculty members, students, and parents. Earlier this year, we were hoping to gather for a traditional commencement. But the sudden outbreak in May had forced Taipei City to raise its epidemic alert level. So we postponed the Commencement and made the decision to hold the ceremony virtually. This is the first virtual Commencement in NTU history.
To our faculty, new graduates, and parents, welcome to the National Taiwan University’s Commencement celebration for the Class of 2021.
As the pandemic unfolds, digital is the new normal. While we gradually adapt to online learning, virtual meetings, social media, online shopping, and food delivery, it is inescapably disappointing for many students and parents to have to celebrate the achievements of our graduates this way after anticipating this event for four years. And because of this, the Office of Student Affairs has teamed up with the graduates to ensure that this unique virtual Commencement is a moment that everyone will remember fondly in the future.
Some of you may ask, "why does this happen just when we are graduation?" And some of you may think optimistically that once the vaccines are available and the pandemic is contained, the world will be back to normal, and that we will all live peacefully.
But the world has never been peaceful. Most of the graduates this year were born in 1999, when the magnitude 7.3 earthquake happened on September 21. Four years after, SARS broke out in Asia, including Taiwan. Within another 5 years, the financial crisis, originated in the United States, affected global economies for years. In 2009, Typhoon Morakot landed and caused severe casualties in Taiwan; the H1N1 flu pandemic took hundreds of thousands of lives. These disasters were, at the time, seen as rare catastrophes that would only take place once every few decades, or even centuries.
Looking back to the past 20 years, we’d notice that, even just in Taiwan, catastrophes have never been in short supply. And they will probably never be in the future either.
Of course, the effect of COVID is far beyond SARS and H1N1, and its impact is greater than the financial crises. What came close was the Spanish flu that took place a century ago (1918-1920), when, according to estimation, one-third of the global population was infected and about 50 million people died.
The influenza pandemic outbreak took place at the end of WWI and hit the German military especially hard. And after the pandemic, Germany was forced to cede its territories to the great powers. What followed was the fall of the Austro-Hungarian and the Ottoman Empires. The series of events reset the international order and formed the settings for many conflicts in the years to come.
While COVID did not break out during a world war, it came at a critical time when great powers bicker and the global supply chains face a reform. The post-pandemic ear is therefore full of uncertainty. I don’t know whether it’d be a "Brave New World"* once the international political and economic orders are reshuffled. But it will be a world we have to live in. There will be many challenges and opportunities, and it will be our new task to utilize what we have learned to tackle challenges and grasp opportunities. Unlike any standardize
d test, you will have to answer and grade the answers yourselves.
I also want to use this opportunity to remind the graduates, that we must have appreciation and gratitude for the healthcare workers who are on the frontlines fighting. Many of them are our faculty members and alums. When the waves of the pandemic hit, they stood up to save lives and protect Taiwan’s society. They are true heroes. As long as we work together, we will weather the crisis and win this battle.
Finally, on behalf of the faculty and management, I send you our deepest best wishes. And congratulations to the parents and families who have supported the graduates for years. I wish you success and good health.
One final thing, I remember reading an article by a foreign writer who said he had lived in Taiwan for years and had noticed that Taiwanese people have a strange habit of saying "be careful" when they part ways. When I read the article, this resonates with me from the heart. For years, my mother would say the same thing whenever I am leaving the house. Now I say the same thing to my children, too. So at this Commencement ceremony, I wish everyone great success in the future, good health, and "be careful."

=================================
1) Extracurricular (課外の)
=================================
生徒が学校の授業以外で取り組む課外活動をextracurricularと言います。一般的にはextracurricular activityと言い、部活動や生徒会、ボランティア活動などを指します。アメリカでは、高校の時にたくさんのextracurricular activitiesをすることで、大学に入る際により有利になります。
<例文>
What kind of extracurricular activities were you a part of in college?
(大学ではどのような課外活動をしていましたか?)
If you want to get into a good college, you need to get involved in extracurricular activities.
(良い大学に入りたければ、課外活動に参加する必要があります。)
For extracurricular activities, I played sports, volunteered and was in the drama club.
(課外活動では、スポーツやボランティア活動をしたり、ドラマクラブに入っていました。)
=================================
2) Let’s see(ええと)
=================================
let’s seeは何かを思い出そうとしている時や、次の言葉を考えている時などに使われる表現、日本語の「ええと」や「うーんと」に相当します。自分が次に言いたい表現が出てくるまで繋ぎ言葉として使える便利な表現です。
<例文>
Which was my favorite country? Hm, let’s see. Japan is definitely up there.
(私の好きな国はどこかって?うーん、そうですね。日本は間違いなく上位に入ります。)
When did I graduate college? It’s been so long. Let’s see. I think I graduated in 2006.
(私が大学を卒業したのはいつだったかって?結構前だよ。うーんと、2006年だったかな。)
Let’s see. What did I do last weekend? I think I just stayed in and watched a movie.
(ええと、先週末は何をしてたかな?家にこもって映画を見ていたと思います。)
=================================
3) Sneak into(こっそり入る)
=================================
sneakは、人に気づかれないようにコソコソ動いたり、何かをこっそり持ち出す意味として使われます。「こっそり入る」はsneak into ____、「こっそり抜け出す」はsneak out ____、「〜にこっそり近づく」はsneak up on ____のように表現します。
<例文>
We need to figure out a way to sneak into the event.
(イベントにこっそり入る方法を考えないといけない。)
When I was a kid, I used to sneak out of the house.
(子供の頃はよく家を抜け出していました。)
We snuck up on her and surprised her.
(私たちは彼女にこっそり近づき驚かせました。)
=================================
4) Nerd(オタク)
=================================
nerdは本来「オタク」や「マニア」を意味する表現で、一つのジャンルに非常に興味を持っていたり、特定の分野に限っては異常なほど詳しい人を指します。オタクっぽい人はa nerdy person、オタクっぽいゲームはnerdy gamesと言います。
✔ちなみに、nerdと呼ばれる人は外見もオタクっぽい人がほとんどです。
<例文>
My younger brother is kind of a nerd. He stays in his room and plays video games all day.
(私の弟はオタクのようなものです。部屋にこもって、一日中テレビゲームをしています。)
I’m not going to lie, I was a pretty nerdy kid growing up.
(正直、私はかなりのオタク少年でした。)
I know it’s a nerdy thing to do but I really enjoy it.
(オタクっぽいとは思いますが、私はとても楽しんでいます。)
=================================
5) Break into(侵入する)
=================================
break intoは家やアパート、オフィスなどの建物に押し入ったり、侵入したりすることを表します。一般的に、ドアや窓などを壊して無理やり中に入ることを表し、家に泥棒が入った時、もしくは鍵がかかったドアを叩き壊すような状況で使われます。
<例文>
Someone broke into my house yesterday.
(昨日、誰かが私の家に侵入しました。)
How did the burglar break in?
(泥棒はどうやって侵入したのですか?)
He broke into my business through the back door.
(彼は裏口から私の会社に侵入しました。)

「別れる」「フラれる」「離婚する」など失恋まつわる英語表現
=================================
付き合っていた恋人と「別れました」、好きだったのに「振られました」、結婚相手と「離婚しました」などの失恋表現を、ネイティブは日常会話でどのように言っているのかご紹介いたします。
~恋人との失恋~
--------------------------------------------------
1) Break up (with ____ )
→「〜と別れる」
--------------------------------------------------
カップルが別れることを表現する際に最もよく使われる表現でしょう。「私たちは別れました」は「We broke up」になりますが、「〜が〜を振りました」のように、別れを切り出したのがどちらであるのかをはっきり示す場合は、振った人を主語にして、「break up」の後に「with + フラれた人」を付け加え、「Tom broke up with her.(トムは彼女を振りました)」のように表現します。
✔音楽バンドやグループが解散するときにも「Break up」が使われる。
<例文>
I broke up with my girlfriend yesterday.
(昨日、彼女と別れました。)
We broke up last month. Things just didn't work out.
(私たちは先月別れました。結局うまくいかなくて。)
Why did you break up with her?
(何で彼女と別れたの?)
〜会話例1〜
A: John broke up with his girlfriend yesterday.
(ジョン昨日彼女と別れたんだってさ。)
B: Really? They were only together for 1 month. What happened?
(本当に?まだ一ヶ月しか付き合ってなかったのに。何があったの?)
--------------------------------------------------
2) Dump _____ / Get dumped (by ____ )
→「〜を振る / (〜に)フラれる」
--------------------------------------------------
上記の「break up (with)」よりも口語的な表現としてよく使われる言い回しです。「〜を振る」と言う場合は「Dump _____」、「フラれた」という場合は「Got dumped」、「〜にフラれた」のように誰にフラれたのかも示す場合は「Got dumped by _____」と表現します。
<例文>
I heard Jack dumped his girlfriend.
(ジャックが彼女を振ったらしいよ。)
I got dumped [by my girlfriend]. She said I'm too nice. What does that even mean?
(彼女に振られたよ。僕が優しすぎるって。それって一体どういうこと?)
〜会話例〜
A: What's wrong? You don't look like yourself. Is everything OK?
(どうしたの?いつもの自分らしくないよ。大丈夫?)
B: I just got dumped by my girlfriend. She sent me a text saying we should end it.
(今さっき、彼女に振られちゃったんだ。別れようってメールが送られてきて。)
~結婚相手との破局~
--------------------------------------------------
Get a divorce / Get divorced
→「離婚する」
--------------------------------------------------
離婚することは「Divorce」を使って表現するのが最も一般的です。「Divorce」は名詞(離婚)としても動詞(離婚する)としても使えるため、「I divorced my wife(妻と離婚しました。)」と表現することもできますが、その場合、自分(主語の人物)から離婚を切り出したニュアンスになります。しかし、離婚したことを人に話すときは、どちらから離婚に踏み切ったのかまで細かく説明せず、「Get a divorce」や「Get divorced」を使って、「They got a divorce(彼らは離婚しました)」や「My parents got divorced(私の両親は離婚しました)」のように、単に離婚したことだけを伝えるのが一般的です。
✔離婚手続き中のことを「going through a divorce」と表現する。
<例文>
It's pretty common for married couples in the U.S. to get a divorce.
(アメリカでは離婚することはよくあることです。)
He's going through tough times right now. He's actually going through a divorce.
(彼、今大変な時期を迎えていて。実は離婚を手続き中なんだ。)
〜会話例〜
A: Mike just called me and said, Tony and Kate are getting a divorce.
(さっき、マイクから電話があって、トニーとケイトは離婚するんだって。)
B: What? They're getting divorced? What about their kids?
(え?離婚するの?子供達はどうなるの?)

DAY 10 - #Believer
First things first
I'mma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh ooh
The way that things have been, oh ooh
Second things second
Don't you tell me what you think that I could be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh ooh
The master of my sea, oh ooh
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That look at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh ooh
Your spirit up above, oh ooh
I was choking in the crowd
Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke open and rained down
And rained down, like...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh ooh
The blood in my veins, oh ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke open and rained down
And rained down, like...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
