[翻轉視界 1] Humans of Taipei
同學們,如同之前在 Developing Empathy (https://bit.ly/34qSKnC) 一文所提到的,我決定在我們的粉專上發起一個全新的系列:翻轉視界(Changing Perspectives)。為了協助學生發展同理這一重要能力,我會分享來自世界各地的人們的故事,在文章中提供關鍵詞、翻譯並提出相關的批判性問題,以期能幫助各位從不同的角度解讀世界!
希望你可以通過閱讀來發展同理,通過理解以及與他人合作,將同理應用到生活中來取得成功。本日,來自Humans of Taipei 與台灣社區實踐協會的生命故事,為翻轉視界系列揭開帷幕。

不要看我這樣,我年輕的時候也是一枝花,不但很多人追,做證券交易還賺了不少錢。我們那個年代,錢很好賺,一、兩百萬都不看在眼底,所以一直以來,我都覺得想抄捷徑。
Don’t look down on me. I was beautiful once. Not only was I pursued by many, I made quite a bit trading securities. At the time, money came easily. One, two million was nothing, so I always wanted to take shortcuts.
1. look down on sb 看不起,小看,蔑視
2. trade securities 證券交易
3. take shortcuts 抄捷徑
★★★★★★★★★★★★
我年輕的時候,台灣經濟正起飛,我去證券公司上班,因為長得漂亮,主管很喜歡帶我去跟大老闆們吃飯。那時候每個月應該都有賺到十萬吧?有時候老闆的肉屑分下來,隨便也是幾百萬。那時候覺得錢很好賺,沒存什麼錢,而且我媽迷上賭博,一直跟我要錢,所以我身上都沒什麼錢。
When I was young, Taiwan’s economy was just taking off. I worked at a securities firm, and because of my looks, my boss often took me to dine with big bosses. I made at least a hundred grand each month, and when my boss split the profits, it was an easy few extra mils for me. I felt money came without effort, so I hardly bothered to save. Also, my mother was addicted to gambling and constantly asked for money. So, I never had much on me.
4. take off 起飛;突然獲得成功
5. a securities firm 證券公司*
6. grand 一千
7. splits profits 分紅
8. few mils = few millions 幾百萬
9. addict to 沉迷於

★★★★★★★★★★★★
我媽和原生家庭感情不好,所以早婚,但婚姻只維持了幾年。不知道是不是複製媽媽的路,我在22歲那年第一次結婚,婚姻維持不到三年。那時候我要照顧兩個孩子跟我媽,我媽還會用照顧小孩來勒索我,不斷跟我要錢去賭博,沒多久我就彈盡糧絕,孩子的爸把孩子接走;我也辭掉證券工作,去百貨公司當櫃姊。
My mother had a poor relationship with her parents, so she got married just to leave the household as soon as possible. Unfortunately, her marriage lasted only a few years. I’m not sure whether I followed her path. I also got married young, at the age of 22, and the marriage did not last past three years.
I took care of my two children and mother at the time. My mother would even use my kids to blackmail me for gambling money. I soon ran out of funds, so the father of my children came and took them away. I left my job at the securities firm and became a salesclerk at a department store.
10. lead sb on 誤導某人
11. blackmail (v.) 勒索
12. salesclerk 店員
★★★★★★★★★★★★
我說少年得志大不幸,過去賺錢太容易,所以我沒什麼金錢觀念,有多少就花多少。沒工作之後越來越宅,我會在網路上寫故事,老是想著有天東山再起,跟社會卻越來越脫節。存款用完後,開始付不出房租,還曾經被斷電。後來,我就跟社區的年輕社工借錢。
I always say it’s a great misfortune to be successful at such a young age. It was so easy for me to make money in the past that I had a no sense of financial management. I spent every penny I made.
After losing my job, I stayed home and began writing stories online. I always thought that I would make a great comeback someday, but I only ended up becoming more isolated from society. After going through my savings, I was unable to pay rent and even my electric bills. The electricity was shut off a few times, so I had to borrow money from the young social workers at my community center.
13. had a poor sense of financial management 沒什麼財務規劃的觀念
14. make a comeback 東山再起
15. be isolated from society 與社會脫節
16. go through savings 花光存款
17. be shut off 被斷電
18. social worker 社工
★★★★★★★★★★★★
我們這個社區有年輕的社工開一個據點,讓一些小朋友放學後有地方去可以去,我有時候會去跟他們聊天,他們都會定期關心我的狀況。付不出房租,我就跟他們借錢,借到第三次的時候,甚至是社工自掏腰包。他們知道這樣不是辦法,就開始幫我媒合一些打工機會,所以我先前有去醫院做清潔工作,之後體檢通過,我就會去超市打工。
The young social workers have this place they keep open for children after school. I would chat with them and they would periodically check on me. When I could not pay rent, I would borrow from them. When they lent me money the third time, they took it out of their own pockets, but realized that this was not the way to go. They started finding me work. I first worked as a janitor in a hospital, and after I passed my physical, I worked part-time at a supermarket.
19. periodically check on sb 定期關注某人
20. the way to go 應該的方式,最好的解決方式
21. janitor 清潔人員
22. borrow (跟別人)借
23. lend 借(給別人)
the way to go
https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/the-way-to-go
★★★★★★★★★★★★
我小時候媽媽就情緒不穩、長期吃藥,想不到我也因為恐慌症,變成要長期服藥。不過我每次來到他們的據點,就覺得很心安、很放鬆,我都說他們這邊是「心安宮」。我沒有能力捐錢,只能偶爾捐發票給他們。現在不去想鹹魚翻身,也不抄捷徑了,只希望好好工作賺錢養小孩,不要再跟社工借錢了啦。
When I was young, my mother was emotionally unstable and relied on medication. I never thought I would one day suffer from panic disorder and also become dependent on medication.
But now, when I come to the community center, I feel relaxed and at peace. I tell them that this is my “Tranquil Heart Temple.” I don’t have the ability to donate, so I would occasionally give them my invoices (for lottery). Now, I no longer want to strike it rich and take shortcuts. I just want to have a stable job, raise my kids, and not have to borrow money from social workers.
24. panic disorder 恐慌症
25. strike it rich 一夕致富
26. go from rags to riches 麻雀變鳳凰,鹹魚翻身
27. a stable job 一份穩定的工作
★★★★★★★★★★★★
透過閱讀以上的故事,我邀請各位思考,在一個追求成功的社會,我們要如何去定義所謂的「成功」?如何去看待別人生命故事中的起伏?去同理別人的難處和幫助其他人成功?社工們在相對需要協助的社區中發展合作經濟、創造社區互助與就業的機會,我們可以做什麼來幫助其他人,支持他們有更好的生存及發展條件?

great lent 在 9bulan10hari Facebook 的精選貼文
Ya Allah. Memang lah breastfeeding ini sangat memenatkan. Sakit pinggang masyaAllah. Tengkuk dan bahu rasa lenguh. Kaki kebas sebab duduk lama. Menyusu sambil mengiring sangat lah tak selesa. Berpeluh-peluh kepanasan.
Di tambah lagi masalah engorgement, mastitis, bengkak susu tu ya Allah sakitnya. Nipple crack di fasa awal, Allah sahaja yg tahu peritnya. Sambil pejam, mengalir air mata tahan sakit.
Ibu bekerja nak pastikan bekalan susu cukup. Cukup masa, wajib mengepam. Tinggalkan kerja. Kadang2 terambil waktu lunch. Terkejar-kejar.
Lapar dan haus setiap masa. Kalau lapar, susu tak keluar. Emosi nak kena stabil. Sedih sikit, susu tak keluar. Emosi serabut, susu tak keluar. Gaduh dgn suami, susu tak keluar. Sakit sikit, susu tak keluar.
Saya tahu kita semua sedang berusaha keras. Kadang2 rasa nak mengalah. Rasa 2 tahun penyusuan tu terlalu panjang utk dilunaskan.
Di atas segala kesusahan ini, kita tetap teruskan. Tidak bergaji, tiada bonus, tak ada siapa paksa, tak ada siapa suruh. Kita sendiri rela hati nak buat subhanallah. Hebat ibu-ibu semua.
Cukuplah syurga menjadi sumber motivasi. Kerana ini semua adalah jihad. Pahala yang banyak sedang menunggu kita. Allah sangat menghargai penat lelah kita. InsyaAllah anak kita akan hargai jasa kita suatu hari nanti.
Bertahanlah. Gunakanlah segala tenaga dan kekuatan demi anak-anak. Itu sahaja harta yang sangat berharga selepas kita mati.
Kalau rasa down, luahlah pada Allah. Moga-moga dipinjamkan kekuatan untuk terus bertahan.
Selamat menyusukan! Syurga menanti kita insyaaallah. ❤

Oh God. Of course this breastfeeding is very tiring. My waist pain, oh my God. My neck and shoulder feel tired. Legs are numb due to sitting long. Breastfeeding while driving is so uncomfortable. Sweating in the heat.
Added more engingement, mastitis, milk swollen problems oh God it's so painful. Nipple crack in the early phase, only Allah knows the pain. While closing, tears flowing with pain.
Moms working to make sure the milk supply is enough. Enough time, must pump. Leave work. Sometimes taken during lunch. Getting chased.
Hungry and thirsty every time. If hungry, milk will not come out. Emotions need to be stable. A little sad, the milk has not come out. Emotions frustrated, milk doesn't come out. Fighting with husband, the milk doesn't come out. A little pain, the milk doesn't come out.
I know we are all working hard. Sometimes I feel like giving up. Feels like 2 years of breastfeeding is too long to be paid off.
Above all this difficulties, we keep going. Unpaid, no bonus, no one forced, no one told me. We ourselves are willing to do subhanallah. Great moms all.
Heaven is enough to be a source of motivation. Because this is all jihad. A lot of rewards are waiting for us. Allah really appreciates our tiredness. InsyaAllah our children will appreciate our services someday.
Hang in there. Use all energy and strength for children. That's the only treasure that is worthless after we die.
If you feel down, spare it to Allah. Hopefully the strength is lent to keep holding on.
Happy breastfeeding! Heaven awaits us insyaaallah. ❤

great lent 在 玳瑚師父 Master Dai Hu Facebook 的最佳貼文
《玳瑚師父的看見(二)》(English version below)
THE SIGHTINGS OF MASTER DAI HU 2
吾,玳瑚師父的看見,嚴格上來講,不單指,當年八方雲遊渡眾生的那一段歲月而已,而是到將來吾返回太虛前的種種看見。因此,這應該會是世間上,最長的「劇本」。(一笑)其實啊!吾撰寫「玳瑚師父的看見」,不是向全世界宣示,吾的那麽一點能力,主旨是告訴眾生,我們一生的成敗榮枯,跟我們的起心動念,有著不可分隔的因果。撰寫這文章,慈悲喜捨於眾生的同時,也警惕自己一定要常在禪定中,不要一失足成千古恨。恨是恨自己,沒有全力以赴的修行。
吾的其中一位門生,介紹她的一位女同事,來詢問吾的專業服務。這位女有情已婚,是位在職的女性,先生是高薪職員,她他倆育有一千金。她及她的千金名字,是由吾應她之請求,重新撰於她母女倆,出類拔萃的吉祥良名。後來我們較熟絡了,她就向吾透露些心事,吾也就傾耳聆聽,並給於她吾真心的慰籍與慧見。事情是這樣的,她的先生到了晚上,某個特定的時間,總是要出門。說實在的,結了婚有妻有女的男人,三更半夜一直往外開溜,在情在理真的較難說得過去啊!紙果然保不住火。原來是跑到別的女人的溫柔鄉也。
吾見她並無下堂求去的執意,就問她信不信風水,她回曰她信,她先生就不怎麼信。她其實也有意思,請吾到其位於黃金地帶的寓所,勘察勘察,看看到底是DNA出錯(一笑),還是陽宅出了差錯。立在她家門口,「還未亮劍」之時,她家裡頭的「不速之客」,即不善之靈,已早準備給吾一點顏色瞧瞧。真感恩傳承偉大,傳承大加持啊!要不然,恐怕吾將會有一段時日,無法服務眾生。在客廳中,吾一眼就得到答案,爲何已擁有美麗性感嬌妻的男人,三更半夜還跑到別的女人的溫柔鄉,且已到了無法自拔的地步。
吾,玳瑚師父,在此奉勸大家:勿將來歷不明的物品,帶回家擺放。在這婦人的客廳,吾看見有「靈氣」的木雕櫥櫃、含情脈脈的女子畫像、裸體打火機,等等。重點就在女子畫像及印有裸體的打火機。難怪吾在門口時,已覺察到屋內的邪氣。這屋子的男主人,淫念大動而迎來更多的邪氣,慾火焚身以外,更犯了淫戒,即邪淫也。據吾所知,犯邪淫不及時懺悔還淨者,死後會進入傍生(禽獸門),轉世成飛禽走獸,如:鳥、雞、豬、狗等等。五百劫後出生爲下等人,如:妓女、婢女、賤命之人等等。邪淫所生子女,也較容易沖犯。至於那些畫淫畫的人,未離世福田已削盡,死後或入蛆糞地獄,身臭無比,肚餓食蛆蟲,皮破血流、肚脹蛆出、全身腐爛而死。正心正念太重要了。
.....................
Strictly speaking, my sightings are not just from my past years of travelling in eight directions delivering sentient beings. It also encompasses what I see in the future before I return to the Ultimate Void. Thus, this should be the world's longest script! (laughs) Actually, I wrote this "The Sightings of Master Dai Hu" not to declare to the world that I have this little power. The main objective is to tell sentient beings that the rise and fall in our fortunes are karmically inseparable with our every thought and intention. When I wrote this article, it is out of compassion to benefit all sentient beings, as well as to remind myself to be always in a meditative state, and not take a wrong step only to end in eternal regret. Regret that I did not give my best effort in my spiritual cultivation.
One of my disciples recommended her colleague to engage my professional services. This lady colleague of hers was a working married woman. Her husband was a high-salaried employee. They had a daughter. I acceded to her request to give new outstanding and auspicious Chinese names for herself and her daughter. As we got to know each other better, she confided some of her worries in me. I lent her my listening ear, and provided her with my genuine consolation and wisdom.
This was what happened. She told me that her husband always left the house at a certain timing in the night. Frankly speaking, it is inappropriate for a married man with a daughter to always slip out of the house in the middle of the night. No matter what, it was indeed hard to justify such behaviour! Alas, paper cannot wrap up fire. The truth was the husband sought comfort in the tender arms of another woman.
I saw that she did not want to give up on her marriage, hence I asked if she believed in Feng Shui. She said yes, but not her husband. She actually had the intention to invite me to audit the Feng Shui of a residence in a high-valued area. She wished to know if there was something wrong with the DNA (haha!) or the Feng Shui of her house.
As I stood at the entrance of her house, before I could pull out my "treasured sword", the "unwanted guests" in her house, a.k.a. evil spirits, had long prepared to show me their displeasure. I am truly grateful to the great linage empowerment of my noble Root Guru! If not, I would be out of service for quite some time. In the living room, I immediately saw the answer why a man with a beautiful and sexy wife would go out late at night to seek comfort in another woman's arms, and the situation had became Inextricable.
Master Dai Hu wishes to advise everyone: Do not bring any object of unknown origin home. In this lady's house, I saw a wooden wardrobe with active energies, drawings of coy female figures, a lighter with a nude lady, etc. The items of significance were the drawing of women and the lighter with the nude figurine. It was no wonder I sensed an air of negative energies when I was at the door. The man of this house allowed his lust to grow, attracting more negative and evil energies. The fire of lust consumed him, and he broke the precept and committed sexual misconduct.
From what I know, a person who commits sexual misconduct and does not repent for it to resume his/her purity in time will be reborn into the realm of animals, like birds, chickens, pigs, dogs, etc, for the next 500 rebirths. After which, he or she will return to the human realm as a person of lowly status, such as a prostitute, a maid, a wretched person etc. Children borne out of sexual misconduct are more prone to vile energy clashes. As for those who produce books with sexual contents, their merits would have already been slashed even before their death, and upon dying, they may enter Hell and suffer the fate of foul-smelling body, with only maggots to eat when hungry, have broken and bleeding skins, bloating stomach bursting with maggots, and finally dying from a fully rotten body. Having the Right Intention and Right Thought is indeed extremely important.
