There's not just one road to the destination, but many roads. You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.
通往目的地的路不止一條,有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步,然後再邁出下一步,幾年下來,將會成為巨大成就。

I didn’t meet my father until I was 6 years old. My parents had a comfortable, middle-class life in Shanghai, or as close as you could get under communism. But they always wanted to live overseas, and just before I was born, my dad came to Sydney to set things up. I don’t know why, but in the end, my mother and I didn’t join him until I was 6.
•a middle-class life 中產階級生活
•set things up 打點一切
•live overseas 往海外生活
•in the end 最後 (表達在經過一段時間或一連串事件之後的結果)
直到六歲前我都未曾見過父親。我的雙親在上海過著舒適的中產階級生活,或著說,在共產階級下所能得到的最接近的生活。他們一直響往海外生活,就在我出生前,我父親來到雪梨打點一切。但不知何故,直到六歲那年我與母親才終於與父親團聚。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Unfortunately, half a year after we arrived, he left us. That was a huge shock. Our transition had already been quite difficult, as we both didn't speak English. Also, as Shanghai was such a big bustling city, Sydney felt a bit like the countryside, especially on the weekends, as no shops were open back then!
•shock 令人震驚的事件(或經歷);驚愕,震驚 (come as a great shock 讓人倍感震驚)
•transition 轉變;過渡
•a bustling city 繁華都會
不幸的是,就在我跟母親抵達半年後,父親離開了我們。這是個巨大的打擊,因爲我們不會說英文,在適應過渡期本就已過得相當艱辛。此外,不同於上海的繁華都會,雪梨更像鄉下,尤其在週末,那時連商店都不開門。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
We were very much reliant on my dad, not only financially, but also as a conduit into the wider community. So to have that broken was quite distressing. I remember Mum crying a lot. As we had become socially isolated, we didn’t find out anything about Centrelink, so we survived on her savings for a while, and then got some help from her family back in China.
•be reliant on… 依賴...
•a conduit into 進入...的渠道
•distressing (adj.) 令人苦惱的,令人擔憂的
•become socially isolated 變得孤立於社會
•survive on her savings 僅靠的她積蓄過日子
我們相當依賴我父親,不僅是經濟,他也是我們進入更廣泛社區的渠道。因此,當局面被打破時令人相當痛苦,我還記得母親時常哭泣。由於我們孤立於社會,所以我們並不知道澳洲社會福利聯絡中心 (Centrelink)的任何資訊,僅靠母親的積蓄支撐了一段時間,然後從母親在中國的娘家得到一些幫助。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Eventually, Mum moved us down to Melbourne, where we were able to make some new networks and family friendships. But I was bullied a bit at school about things like my food and clothing! Whenever someone bullied me, I would defend myself, but because I didn’t have the language skills to explain to the teacher why, I got in trouble quite a bit. I ended up having to move school 3 times before I came to Balwyn Primary School, which was relatively multicultural.
•be able to 能夠
•make new networks 建立新的人脈,關係網
•be bullied 被霸凌
•language skills 語言能力
•get in trouble 惹上麻煩
•end up 最後處於;最後成爲;以…告終
•relatively 相對地
•multicultural 多元文化的
最後,母親帶著我搬遷到墨爾本,在那我們能夠建立起新的網絡與家庭情誼。然而。我在學校飽受霸凌,例如我的食物及衣物。每當有人霸凌我,我會自我防衛,但我的語言技巧不足以向老師解釋事發原因,因此常常陷入麻煩。後來我不得不再三轉學,直到就讀相對多元文化的博文小學(Balwyn Primary School)。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
After that, I did alright. Music featured very prominently in my life. I had started learning the violin from the age of 2.5 years old and even with all the troubles that were going on in my life, had somehow still kept up with it. As a result, I got a music scholarship to Trinity Grammar School. But even there I used to get into quite a lot of mischief, and would often skip school to go to the movies.
•do alight 過得不錯,做的不錯
•feature (v.) 以…為特色;給…以顯著的地位
•prominently 重要地;著名地;突出地,顯眼地
之後,我便過得不錯。音樂在我生活中佔有重要的一席之地,我從兩歲半開始學習小提琴,儘管生活中事事不如意,我依然堅持不輟。因此,我獲得三一文法學校( Trinity Grammar School)的音樂獎學金。但即使在那,我也常惡作劇、逃學看電影。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
By the end of year 11, I was told I would have to either repeat the year, or consider going to another school, which was quite humiliating for my mum. I decided to move school and surprisingly, I ended up doing quite well in year 12! As a result, I ended up getting into a double degree in Law and Music at Monash.
•repeat the year 留級 ; 重唸一年
•humiliating 令人感到恥辱的,丟臉的
11年級結束時,我被告知要麽被留級,要麼考慮轉學,這對我母親來說相當丟人。我決定轉學,而令人驚訝的是,我在12年級的時候表現優異,最後錄取蒙納士大學法律與音樂雙學位。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
When I started, my first thought was that I didn’t belong because I had done so badly in school up to year 11 and everyone else seemed so smart. But I put my head down, got through it, and ended up getting a job in the legal department of a major manufacturing company, which was a different approach to what most law students do.
•do not belong 不屬於這
•put my head down 埋頭苦幹
•the legal department of ...的法律部門
•a different approach 不同途徑
•approach (思考問題的)方式,方法,態度
當我開始進入大學,最初的想法是我不屬於這,因為我在11年級前都表現不佳,而這裡的人似乎都聰明絕頂。但我埋頭苦幹,咬牙撐過,最後在一家大型製造公司的法律部門找到工作,這與多數法律系學生的途徑不同。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I really enjoyed it. It was hard work, but I learned a lot of foundational business, legal and corporate communication skills. After that I worked in corporate governance in RMIT, then started to moonlight as a lecturer in the Law Faculty. Eventually, they asked me if I wanted to do a PhD and I blindly said yes! I next worked at Swinburne University, and then was head-hunted to lead the corporate legal team at the Commercial Passenger Vehicles Commission.
•foundational 基礎的
•communication skills 溝通技巧
•corporate governance
•moonlight (v.) (尤指瞞著僱主)從事第二職業,兼職
•headhunt (v.) 物色(人才); 挖角
•legal team 法律團隊
我非常喜歡這份工作,這是份辛苦的工作,但我學習了很多基礎商業、法律以及公司溝通技巧。之後我在皇家墨爾本理工大學( RMIT)從事公司治理工作,並開始兼職擔任法律系講師。後來他們問我是否想要讀博士,我便盲目地答應了。接下來,我在斯威本大學(Swinburne University)工作,再被挖角到商用小客車委員會領導法律團隊。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I had a good life, but after a while, I realised I wanted a different kind of job. I could see my seniors were making a lot of money but that their family life was not that good. And looking at my own upbringing, I wanted to be the kind of father who could be present in my own kids’ lives. So I decided on dentistry. It would not only allow me to use the hand skills that I had developed from playing the violin, but also the analytical and reasoning skills that I'd developed in law. Plus it would be flexible, and offer me a stable income and the chance to meet different people every day!
•upbringing 教養
•decide on sth 決定某事或東西
•analytical and reasoning skills 分析和推理能力
•offer a stable income 提供穩定收入
我的生活很不錯,但一段時間後,我意識到自己想要一份不同的工作。我知道前輩們賺了很多錢,但他們的家庭生活並不美滿。看著自己的成長經歷,我想要成為可以在孩子生活中出席的父親,所以我決定改行當牙醫。這項職業能讓我使用從拉小提琴中發展出的手部技巧,也能運用我在法律中發展出的分析與推理技能。此外,這個職業相當靈活,能為我提供穩定收入,並有機會每天與不同的人見面。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
My now fiancée, who was my girlfriend at the time, was also applying for further study, and coincidentally we both got into university in South Australia, so we moved to Adelaide together a few years ago.
•fiancée 未婚妻
•at the time 當時
•apply for 申請
•further study 繼續教育,進修;進一步研究;深造
•coincidentally 碰巧地;巧合地
我的未婚妻,當時的女友,也申請繼續深造,巧的是我們都考上南澳大學(University of South Australia),所以幾年前一起搬到阿得雷德( Adelaide)。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I was lucky to get a university job at Flinders University. Initially, I started out as a casual lecturer in the law school, but I’ve since transitioned into teaching health law and research, and I’m currently writing a few books on the intersection between law and medicine. And also, obviously, trying to finish my dentistry degree!
•start out as… 起初擔任...
•transition into… 轉變到...
我很幸運的在福林德斯大學(Flinders University)找到工作,起初我在法學院擔任臨時講師,但我後來轉換到醫事法教學及研究。目前我正撰寫幾本關於法律與醫學相接的書籍,並努力完成我的牙醫學位。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Mum eventually retrained as a Chinese high school teacher, and she’s still teaching to this day. Like most first generation migrants, she struggled quite a lot, and invested heavily in my success. After we’re married, my fiancée and I are planning to have children, and I’m sure they will have it much easier than I did.
•retrain 重新培養;再培訓;再訓練
•to this day 至今
•first generation migrants 第一代移民
•struggle a lot 掙扎奮鬥許久
•have it much easier 過的比較輕鬆
我的母親最終重新接受培訓,成為一名中文高中老師並執教至今。如同大多數第一代移民,她掙扎奮鬥許久,並為我的成功投資甚多。我與未婚妻打算婚後生孩子,我確信孩子會過的比我輕鬆得多。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Still, a lot of the failures that I’ve had in my life have really informed a lot of my successes. Looking back, I wouldn't really want to change that to have a smoother life.
•inform [正式] 影響某人的態度或意見
https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/inform
•have a smoother life 有一個更順遂的人生
我的生活中的種種失敗確實為我的成功提供借鑑。回首過去,我不會想要改變那些坎坷經歷去擁有一個更順遂的人生。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Over the years, I've learned that perseverance is very important. I hope that through telling my story, I can be an example to others who might be in a similar position as I was: to show that there's not just one road to the destination, but many roads. You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.
•over the years 多年來
•perseverance 不屈不撓,堅持不懈
•be an example 成為榜樣
•be in a similar position 處於相似的處境
•down the road/line/track 將來(的路)
多年來,我學到堅持不懈是至關重要的。我希望透過講述自己的故事,能成為其他可能與我有相似處境的人的榜樣:向他們展示通往目的地的路不止一條,有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步,然後再邁出下一步,幾年下來,將會成為巨大成就。

Taiwan is like a diamond in Asia: Veteran educator Doris M. Brougham
“Taiwan is like a diamond in Asia,” U.S. educator and the founder ( ) of “Studio Classroom,” Doris M. Brougham, said on Wednesday.
“The Diamond is very small, but diamonds shine all around,” she added.
Doris M. Brougham, who has been working in Taiwan for more than 70 years, gave a speech at the opening event of the exhibition ( ) “Foreigners Love Taiwan” organized ( ) by the Taipei City Archives on Wednesday at the West Benevent Square ( ).
Echoing ( ) the theme of the exhibition, Brougham, 95, said she has stayed in Taiwan for more than 70 years and recalled ( ) that when she first came to Taiwan, the land was still developing and many people were facing illnesses.
The veteran educator explained that “the great thing about Taiwan is that people are very willing ( ) to change and to learn.”
She added that Taiwan is a beautiful place and that although “there are many beautiful places around the world, the place is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the people.”
The 95-year-old who has dedicated ( ) several decades to English education in Taiwan amusingly ( ) shared that buffaloes ( ) could even be seen on Zhongshan Road when she first arrived in Taiwan.
She recalled that she learned to speak Mandarin, Taiwanese, and even some indigenous ( ) languages. Yet, she stressed ( ) that the most important thing is to be able to communicate no matter what language we speak.
And we all communicate with each other based on the connection that we are all part of this beautiful island, she remarked ( ).
Brougham ended her speech by stressing that Taiwanese people are very tolerant ( ), and those who have been here all agree that Taiwanese people are very friendly.
“No matter what languages we speak, we are all people living in Taiwan and we are all Taiwanese.”
The “Foreigners Love Taiwan’ exhibition will open from March 10 to April 8, between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
‘The exhibition features three major sections ( ): “Foreigners Who Love Taiwan,” “Sentiments Beyond 100 Years,” and “High-Five Love Taiwan,” featuring ( ) the stories of foreigners who have made selfless ( ) contributions to Taiwan, such as Mackay, Marjorie Ingeleiv, Robert Swinhoe, Sidney Barton and Marjorie Landsborough, Yoichi Hatta and more.
資深教育家彭蒙惠女士 讚許台灣如鑽石般瑰麗
「台灣就像顆亞洲的鑽石,雖然面積小,但各個角落都光彩奪目,散發耀眼光芒。」空中英語教室創辦人彭蒙惠女士形容道。
在台灣深耕超過70年的彭蒙惠於週三上午參加由台北市立文獻館所舉辦位在西本願寺廣場的「吾愛台灣-愛台灣的外國人特展」開幕式活動。
呼應此次特展主題,高齡95歲的彭蒙惠表示,自己待在台灣超過70年,她回想到剛來台灣時,這片土地還在發展中,許多人面臨著病痛,在二戰結束的大環境下,台灣相較於國外復甦的更快。
彭蒙惠直截了當地點出,「台灣最大優點就是人們非常願意改變、願意學習。」
她也提到,台灣是個美麗的地方,儘管「全世界有非常多很美的地方,但地方不是最要緊的,最重要的是人。」
彭蒙惠女士奉獻台灣英語教育超過一甲子的時間,她逗趣地分享道,在她初來乍到的時代,中山路上甚至還能看到水牛在逛大街。
她表示,自己不但會說中文、閩南語、甚至還會說原住民語,然而,不管講什麼語言,最重要的是我們要能溝通,而大家彼此之間溝通連結就建立在我們都是這個美麗島嶼的一份子。
最後,她強調,臺灣人包容度非常高,且來過寶島的人都一致認同台灣人非常友善。
「不管講什麼語言,我們都是住在台灣的人,我們都是台灣人。」
「吾愛台灣——愛台灣的外國人特展」即日起到4月8日早上十點到下午五點開放民眾前往參觀。展覽分為三大展區分別是「愛台灣的外國人們」、「超越百年的情感」、「High-Five愛台灣」,展出馬偕、白寶珠、斯文豪、巴爾敦、蘭大衛與連瑪玉、八田與一等等對台灣做出無私貢獻的外國人們的事蹟。

轉載 @美國在台協會 AIT 貼文
📝酈英傑處長給台灣人民的道別信
「隨著我擔任美國在台協會處長的日子即將畫下句點,我也即將離開台灣,我想藉這個機會和大家分享,這一番歷練對我來說的意義是什麼。當我說擔任AIT處長其實是我這輩子的榮幸,也讓我得以實現長期職業生涯中的抱負與理想,這麼說一點也不為過。
我19歲時第一次離開家鄉,就是來台灣。對年輕的我來說,從那時起,台灣就成了交流與理解、探索與冒險的同義詞。台灣不僅有著讓人眼花撩亂的異鄉風情,也代表著意想不到的嶄新機會。我在這裡嘗試新奇的食物,像是水餃和臭豆腐,並且學習如何在擠滿單車和機車的大街小巷穿梭自如。一方面,我努力用我粗淺的中文,讓別人聽懂我說的話;但同時我也發現,無論走到哪裡,迎接我的都是滿滿的親切友善與熱情好客。
因此,在成為美國外交官後,能夠以台灣作為我派駐海外的第一站,真是再適合不過了。畢竟,是台灣首先點燃了我對亞洲、尤其是台灣的畢生興趣,也激發了我對跨文化理解和共享目標——也就是外交工作——的終身熱忱。此後,我也曾派駐其他地點,多數是在大中華區域,但我的台灣經歷與回憶始終常存我心。最終我能以美國駐台最高層級外交官的身分回來這裡,可說是我多年職涯的高峰。顯然,我這一生注定與台灣有著深刻的連結,或者也叫作「緣分」吧,才會讓我一次又一次不斷地回到台灣。
常有人問我,為什麼我這麼喜歡台灣。我總覺得:「答案不是很明顯嗎?」不過如果一定要我從個人與專業的角度,解釋我對台灣的喜愛與敬佩之情,我通常會提到以下幾個領域:
首先,台灣兼具活力與穩定、進步與延承、還有創新與傳統。每次回到這裡,我都對台灣社會在各個方面日新月異的進步感到驚艷不已。台灣的民主更臻成熟,經濟益加蓬勃,環境保護更受關注,藝術文化發展也生生不息。
台灣在許多最先進的科技產業上持續為全球創新樹立標竿,但與此同時,台灣的社會穩定和文化傳承依舊令人欽羨佩服。儘管生活充裕且形象良好,台灣人民卻依然謙虛樸實、平易近人。在台灣,最古老的傳統薪火相傳、歷久彌新。文化和歷史古蹟受到妥善的修復與保護;年輕人也可以學習代代相傳的書法技巧,接著再把作品秀在Instagram上。
再者,對美國來說,台灣正是共享利益與共享價值交集的典範。美台夥伴關係的重點在於確保科技發展能夠嘉惠、而非傷害我們雙方的經濟,科技突破則應被用於鞏固、而不是破壞我們的原則。美台之間自由、多元、平等及透明等共享價值,時時激勵我們努力在世界各地打造民主社會的韌性。而我們也持續尋求新的方式,為解決全球問題做出貢獻,這麼做不僅是因為能夠造福我們自己的人民,也是因為我們相信,身為21世紀敦親睦鄰的好夥伴,就是該這麼做。
最後,每當我想到台灣、以及整體美台關係,我總會想到希望、光明和成長。美台的情誼在過去40年來不斷拓展與茁壯。我相信每任處長都會同意,他們離開台灣時的美台夥伴關係,比起他們剛上任時都更上一層樓。同樣的,當我向AIT告別的那一天,我的心中將充滿肯定與成就感,因為我知道,美台夥伴關係比以往都更加深刻和強健,我也對自己能為美台關係今天亮眼的進展小有貢獻,而深感驕傲。
但是,比起這些事情,我想我更難忘的是台灣在我生命中所留下的深刻印記。我永遠會記得我在台灣度過的第一個聖誕節,還有第一個農曆新年。我永遠會記得台灣朋友的真摯與溫暖、教會同伴堅定的信仰、炎炎夏日來一碗芒果冰的沁涼、資源回收車沿街播放《給愛麗絲》的回音,還有巷弄中撲鼻而來的茉莉花香,這些都會是我畢生珍藏的美好回憶之一。我也會記得好友間的餐聚、充滿歡笑和故事的夜晚、以及一路以來我受到過的無數的善意與關懷。我更會永遠記得,是各位台灣朋友們,你們以各種不同的方式,讓我和我家人的生命更加地豐盛美好。對此,我要衷心地謝謝大家。
雖然我將離開台灣,但台灣不會離開我。」

📝A Farewell Letter from AIT Director W. Brent Christensen
"As my time as AIT Director draws to a close and I prepare to leave Taiwan, I want to take this opportunity to tell you what this experience has meant to me. It is not an exaggeration to say that this has been the honor of my life and the fulfillment of a career-long aspiration.
The first time I left my hometown at age 19, it was to come to Taiwan. From that early age, Taiwan became synonymous for me with the ideas of exchange and understanding, exploration and adventure. Taiwan represented both disorienting foreignness and unexpected opportunity, as I tried new food – like shuijiaos and qiu doufu – and learned to navigate my way through streets crowded with bicycles and scooters. And struggled to make myself understood with my rudimentary Mandarin. But all the while discovering the kindness and generosity that welcomed me wherever I went.
It felt appropriate for me to serve my first tour as a U.S. diplomat in the place that first sparked in me a lifelong interest in Asia – and in Taiwan in particular – and in cross-cultural understanding and shared purpose, or in other words, diplomacy. After that, my career took me to other places, but mostly still in the China region. But the memories of my experiences in Taiwan stayed with me. And finally having the opportunity to serve as the top U.S. diplomat to Taiwan was the culmination of all the years that came before. It is clear that I have a lifelong connection to Taiwan, or “yuanfen,” that has led me to return again and again.
People often ask me why I have such a fondness for Taiwan. “Isn’t it obvious?!” I always think. But when forced to explain my affection for and professional fascination with Taiwan, I usually come back to a few themes.
First, dynamism and constancy; progress and preservation; innovation and tradition. Every time I return to Taiwan, I am immediately struck by the many ways Taiwan has advanced as a society. Taiwan’s democracy grows more mature, its economy more prosperous, its environment more cared-for, and its arts and culture more vibrant.
Taiwan’s industry continues to set the benchmark for global innovation in some of the most sophisticated technologies, but at the same time, Taiwan society is remarkable for its stability and cultural continuity. Taiwan’s people, despite their relative wealth and stature, continue to be modest and unassuming. Taiwan’s most ancient traditions are alive and well. Cultural and historic sites are restored and preserved. Young people may learn calligraphy techniques handed down for generations, but then share their work on Instagram.
Second, for the United States, Taiwan exemplifies the intersection of shared interests and shared values. Our partnership is about making sure our economies are beneficiaries rather than casualties of technological development and ensuring that technological development advances rather than undermines our principles. Our shared values of freedom, diversity, equality, and transparency inspire our efforts to build the resilience of democracies around the world. And we continue to find new ways to contribute to global problem solving, both because it benefits our own peoples and because we share the belief that this is what it means to be a good neighbor in the 21st century.
Finally, I associate Taiwan – and the broader U.S.-Taiwan relationship – with hope, promise, and growth. This friendship has expanded and flourished over the past 40 years; I believe every person who has done this job walked away knowing they left this partnership better than they found it. I will similarly leave AIT with a sense of accomplishment and success, knowing that the U.S.-Taiwan partnership is deeper and stronger than ever, and feeling immensely proud of my small role in getting us there.
But more than any of these things, I will remember the ways that Taiwan has touched me personally. I will always remember my first Christmas in Taiwan – and my first Chinese New Year. I will remember the warmth of Taiwan friendship, the faith of my fellow church members, the taste of a mango bing on a hot summer day, the echo of “Fur Elise” from the recycling truck, the fragrance of jasmine blossoms in village alleyways – these are just some of the memories I will treasure. I will remember the long dinners with dear friends, full of laughter and stories. And I will remember their many kindnesses. I will remember all the ways big and small that you, the people of Taiwan, touched my life and the lives of my family. And for that, I thank you.
I may be leaving Taiwan, but Taiwan will never leave me. "
-- AIT Director William Brent Christensen

很多粉絲常常問我,要怎麼處理人際關係?要怎麼解決友情的問題,其實關於友情,我也是經歷了一些風風雨雨,才變成現在的狀態。
從小我就是個超內向害羞的人,可以說是沈默寡言,可能因為從小在加拿大和台灣之間搬來搬去,對我來說就是常常處在陌生環境,每到陌生環境我就會非常焦慮,也很害怕跟別人交談,直到我遇到了我的好閨蜜,逐漸打開我冰冷的心防。這集會分享很多故事喔,包括黑暗的、開心的故事,我是如何邁開人際關係的第一步,變成現在的開朗美少女呢?(還能稱少女嗎哈哈)一定要收聽這一集喔!
節目的最後,送給大家這首《星宿》,這是一首溫暖的歌,其實這首歌原本是寫給友情的喔,但不管友情還是愛情,都要成為能夠溫暖他人的人。

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
懐かしさに溺れた まだ青かった僕ら
雲が残る合間 ただ太陽を見ていた
おざなりな僕ら 溢れだした声が
ただ大切な事は 伝わらないようにできてた
かたちのない色味を 抱きしめてみたの
期待と不安の日々を 後悔の味で知った
知らない世界へ 手を伸ばしたくて
強がりのウソなど ポケットにしまった
優しさを包む痛みも全部
覚えていたくて
ただ願って願って 生まれ変わっても
不確かな未来を謳っては触れたくて
伝って伝って 頬を流れる
その涙の味は いつかの約束
ただ灰になって 朧げになって
遠く何処かへ この夜を越えて蒼に染まる
夜もすがら夢を 張り巡らした想いを
見つからないまま 月は影を落とした
寝もやらず明けて 手も離せなくて
憧れる君を 遠ざけてしまった
あの日の僕の眼差しも全部
霞んでしまって
ただ痛くて痛くて 堪らない
空の青さは深く色を孕んでは冷たくて
伝って伝って 寄せ合う肩を
震わせた 微かな温もりを抱いては
まだ見ぬ世界へ 花は風を待って
遠く何処かへ この夜を越えて蒼に染まる
犯してきた過ちも その後悔さえも
かけがえのないものだから
ただ願って願って 生まれ変わっても
不確かな未来を謳っては触れたくて
伝って伝って 頬を流れる
その涙の味は いつかの約束
ただ灰になって 朧げになって
遠く何処かへ この夜を越えて蒼に染まる
中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
依舊青澀的我們沉溺於懷舊過去
僅是望著雲雲間隙中探頭的太陽
從敷衍的我們口中流露出的聲音
刻意不透露一絲珍貴重要的事情
我曾試圖伸手擁抱那不具形體的滋味
期待與不安的時光,帶著後悔的苦味度過
我希望能將手伸向未知的世界
而把倔強的謊言收進口袋裡
將溫柔包裹起的苦痛也想全部——
毫不畏懼地體驗看看
僅是祈求著、渴望著,若能有來生
仍想高頌並觸及那不可預測的未來
緩緩地、緩緩地,自臉龐滑下的淚水
那淚水的味道是某日一同許下的約定
哪怕僅化作一片朦朧、化作點點塵埃
仍邁向遙遠的某處,飛越這片黑夜、渲染上蔚藍的色彩
那夜深人靜的夢,與那心頭滿溢的思念
始終無法尋回,僅是與月光映照的身影相伴
徹夜未眠至天明,依然畏懼鬆開緊繫的雙手
卻不知不覺與憧憬的你,漸行漸遠
那一天我看見的一切也全都——
因淚水變得模糊不清
僅是隱隱作痛、好難受,令人難以承受
天空的蒼藍孕育出的顏色太過冰冷刺痛
緩緩地、緩緩地,兩人互相倚靠的雙肩
你總輕輕顫抖,只要我抱起你、傳遞那微微的溫暖
繁花等著風兒吹起,向著從未見過的嶄新世界
邁向那遙遠的某處,飛越這片黑夜、渲染上蔚藍的色彩
不論是曾犯下的過錯,抑或惦記的點點懊悔
「全都是無可取代的珍貴回憶啊。」所以啊——
僅是祈求著、渴望著,若能夠再有來生
仍想高頌並觸及我們那不可預測的未來
緩緩地、緩緩地,自你臉龐滑下的淚水
那淚水的鹹味是彼此曾一同許下的約定
哪怕所有的回憶早已化作一片朦朧塵埃
仍向著遙遠的某處,飛越這片黑夜、渲染上海洋般蔚藍的色彩
英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
Drowning in nostalgia, we were still young
I was just looking at the sun while the clouds remained
We were so standoffish, with the overflowing voice
I couldn't express the things that are so important to us
I tried to embrace the shapeless color
I learned about the days of expectation and anxiety with the taste of regret
I want to reach out to a world I don't know
But I put my pretended strength back in my pocket
I want to remember all the pain that surrounds my kindness
Simply pray and pray, even if I am reborn
I don't want to forget that uncertain future
Tears that intertwined and trail down the cheek
are the taste same as the promise from that day
Even if they become ashes and everything becomes vague
Somewhere far away beyond this night, it is dyed in blue
I've been dreaming all night long with these overflowed feelings
The moon cast a shadow without being found
I couldn't sleep and couldn't let go of our hands
You're the one I yearn for, yet somehow I've kept you away
All the things my eyes saw on that day have also become hazy
It just hurts and hurts and I can't stand it
The blueness of the sky is deep and cold.
Our shoulders slowly close together
You shivered, I pass on my slight warmth
To the world we haven't seen yet, with flowers dancing in the wind
Somewhere far away beyond this night, it is dyed in blue
The mistakes I made and even the regrets are irreplaceable, so I...
Just hope and hope even if you are reborn
I want to touch and sing along with the uncertain future
The taste of tears that fall and fall down my cheeks
are the taste same as the promise from that day
Even if they become ashes and everything becomes vague
Somewhere far away beyond this night, it is dyed in blue

we learned that中文 在 when the cake talks 蛋糕說話時屑屑請閉嘴 Youtube 的最佳解答
*中文在下面
Tofu pudding (豆花 Dou Hua) is my favourite Taiwanese snack, and I miss it ever so much in London. Since I learned how to make amazing homemade soy milk (the recipe is here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYXYNJQmxxY&t=37s), I asked myself why not try to make some 豆花?
It was a huge success! If I had known earlier that making 豆花 was easy, I would not have suffered all these years (or bought the super expensive 豆花 in Chinatown😅 )
豆花 is like a super silky, tender, delicate tofu. In Taiwan, we normally have it as a dessert: the sugar syrup is a must and for toppings, you can choose from traditional choices beans, peanuts, taro ... to bubbles (tapioca pearls), taro balls etc...
You can also replace the syrup with soy milk, but I highly recommend you add some warm ginger syrup. It will definitely warm you up in winter!
豆花是我最喜歡的甜點之一,簡單樸實冬夏皆宜。我最喜歡的豆花店是師大附近的鎮江號,跟小時候常駐巷口的一位豆花伯做的豆花(可惜豆花伯已仙逝QQ)
原本從沒想過我會自己做豆花,但某次在亞超瞄到熟石膏粉之後,就熊熊燃起了豆花魂。抱著應該會失敗的心情戰戰兢兢的做了人生第一鍋的豆花,成品卻是成功到差點抱著鍋子痛哭。
趁記憶猶新趕忙做了第二鍋順便拍成影片,這一大鍋豆花後來被聞豆而來的友人獨自吞完半鍋,由此可證品質還算有保障。
我小時候學到的豆腐作法就是使用熟石膏粉,但網路上對石膏粉的評價不一。我個人覺得熟石膏粉做的豆花口感、味道跟洋菜或吉利丁版的是完全不同層次,完全就是記憶中軟軟嫩嫩豆味飄飄的豆花,再搭上薑汁糖水跟珍珠,真的幸福無比。
🎶 準備食材 Ingredients:
1. 新鮮豆漿 Fresh soy milk 1.5L (please do not use the supermarket brands, they taste 100% different. If you can, make your own. If you do not have time, at least buy fresh soy milk from an Asian shop)
2. 熟石膏粉 Gypsum powder 1.5 Tablespoons (中國城購入 I bought it in Chinatown, but you also can buy it online)
3. 地瓜粉/太白粉 Potato starch / sweet potato starch 1.5 Tablespoons
4. 水 Water 75ml
🎶 糖水跟豆花料 Ingredients for syrup and toppings:
1. 糖 Sugar 適量
2. 水 Water 適量
3. Tapioca pearls and others
🎶 工具 Tools:
- 食品用溫度計 Food thermometer
- 乾淨的布 Clean tea towel
🎶 糖水製作方式:
我糖水是先把糖加入一咪咪的水用火煮到焦糖化,等糖變成胡珀色就沖入少許熱水(這步驟小心燙傷),再稍微熬煮一下之後糖水就完成了。我這次加入一點磨碎的薑泥,變成薑汁糖水,配豆花很讚唷!
