☘️☘️愛爾蘭聖派翠克節X陳育虹翻譯和朗讀☘️☘️
〈可靠的家園〉
◎蘿拉-布蕾斯・麥朵薇 Laura-Blaise McDowell
◎翻譯:陳育虹
飛了一千八百哩,大雁飛來愛爾蘭過冬,從北地閃亮的凍原和結冰的城
大雁來到這裡
彷彿愛爾蘭古老的文字,牠們的身影劃過市郊上空
低掠過公牛島,降落在林森市
一個寂靜的三月清晨,在呼喚聲中我醒來。大雁四散在我窗外田野
宣告牠們抵達這較溫暖的氣候帶
大雁有強烈的溝通欲,不停喋喋說著
牠們來對了地方
這是說故事人的家園,這裡沒有僵化的「是」,只有獨特的
肯定語法:「我做到了」,「我們就是」,「這就是」,一個內在的信念
所以一千隻大雁與我,在這剎那,聚在我們共有的溫暖海岸
毫無疑問我們相聚了,在這地球最可靠的角落
看到大雁,我想到我們曾如何長途跋涉,成為一個更溫暖的國度
這裡有人帶著故事沿路分享,沿路我們讓愛
像荊豆在山丘落地蔓生;也當我看到更多鳥
穩穩地抵達
以讓人振奮的V字隊形,一種從容的體悟
以動作劃一的翅膀的悅音
一種古老的歸屬感

"Sure Home"
By Laura-Blaise McDowell
Eighteen hundred miles, the geese fly to Ireland for winter, from the glittering tundras and icy cities of the northern world, arriving here,
their silhouettes scratched like Ogham into the skies above the suburbs
They descend on Bull Island, alight in Ringsend
On a still March morning, I am awoken by the calls, announcing their arrival in the warmer climate as they scatter across the field outside my window
Geese have an intense need to communicate, always chattering
they have come to the right place
The home of storytellers, a land where there is no solid word for yes, only specific confirmation, ‘I did,’ ‘we are,’ ‘it is’, a certainty at our core
And so a thousand geese and I, at this moment, gather in the warmth of our shared shore
there is no doubt we are together, in the surest place on Earth
When I see the geese I think of our travelled distance, to be a warmer country, one where those with stories come and share in the way in which we let love grow
like gorse alight across our hills and when I see more birds
coming steadily in
With the thrill of the V formation, an easy understanding
the gentle music of unified wings
An ancient sense of belonging

註:三月17日為愛爾蘭的聖派翠克節,也就是愛爾蘭的國慶日,在這一天愛爾蘭會以大量的綠色以及幸運草圖案的裝飾來慶祝這一天。「駐愛爾蘭台北代表處」和「每天為你讀一首詩」合作,邀請 Laura-Blaise McDowell特地為今天寫下這首詩〈可靠的家園〉,我們也邀請陳育虹為我們翻譯和朗讀。詩中以愛爾蘭最常見的野雁為象徵,以其空間的移動隱喻時間的推移,而聯想到愛爾蘭是這樣輾轉走過長久的歷史,從被英國殖民,復活節起義,到最後的獨立,以及和英格蘭的和解。這樣的歷史無疑是經過漫長殖民,在尋求出路的台灣值得認識而喜愛的。

《小說故事創作 (Part1)by 八歲小貝拉》
1847年。
吃完晚飯,我繼續在餐桌寫著我的故事。
『已經很晚了。』媽媽提醒我。
我好討厭深夜,因為深夜裡有很多可怕的東西跑出來,例如:木乃伊,怪物,鬼魂,雪人…等。
我回到房間,看見姐姐艾瑪正在梳頭,她的頭髮是如此柔順美麗,不像我的頭髮又髒又亂,我坐下來想要改變自己的樣子,於是我看著鏡子一直說:『我很漂亮、我很美麗、我很漂亮、我很美麗…』這些話使我頭暈目眩。
隔日,星期天早晨,媽媽總是很忙,我在廚房興奮地跳來跳去,我想趕快見凱蒂,也想吃點餅乾,那種脆脆的餅乾。姐姐依然很漂亮,她穿著天藍色的洋裝上面綴著白色蝴蝶結在我面前飛舞。
『完了,凱蒂一定在等我!』我大喊。
媽媽立刻給我一塊麵包,她吩咐:『一路小心,妳必須在…』
『在十二點前回家,我知道了!』我離開了家,跑過樹林。
『衝啊!』我彷彿聽到了那些大樹不停地在我耳邊咆嘯,大聲且清晰。
今天天氣好冷,好像在最冷的冬日吃了49球冰淇淋一樣!
『嘿!』我向凱蒂揮手。
『你還好嗎?』凱蒂憂心問我:『我是說妳看起來好像吃了48球冰淇淋。』
『是49球冰淇淋。』我指正她。
凱蒂很困惑,用一種「我老是在不恰當的時候說了一句不該說的話」的那張臉看著我。
接著,我們走到了小溪邊。我們準備了兩個瓶子,要玩了一個名為“水花瓶子”的遊戲。我們在瓶子上打了個洞,把瓶子裝滿水,然後相互潑濺在對方的頭上,好似淋雨一般,也好像正在跟一位頑皮的男孩玩灑水遊戲!
『碰!』我和凱蒂忽然間聽見怪聲。我們嚇到,宛如兩個吃了100球冰淇淋的雪人,僵住了!
凱蒂原本是很勇敢的;但是現在看起來跟我一樣害怕。
『妳不是很勇敢嗎?為什麼妳現在看起來不像。』我壓低了聲音。
凱蒂看著我,嚴肅地說:『我們不應該在這時候開玩笑。』
凱蒂用腳尖輕輕走路,然後踏進溪流,水發出飛濺的聲音『啪噓、啪噓…』
『噓,妳正在把外星人嚇跑!』我小聲提醒凱蒂。
她點了點頭,用非常緩慢的速度前進,並專注凝視著那東西,然後一把握住它!
『噢,這是一隻可憐的小兔子。』凱蒂看著兔子,甚至…已經喜歡上牠。
『牠好像睡著了。』凱蒂像個嬰兒一樣,緊緊抱住兔子。凱蒂的擁抱有時不是一件好事,因為她總是顯得太興奮。
『我們可以來抓一些葉子使它變軟來餵牠。』我摸著兔子說。
『我們應該把牠交給黛拉。』凱蒂建議:『黛拉是一位非常優秀的動物護士,她只有九歲,但快十歲了。』
我們走著走著,終於到了黛拉的密室,那外頭有很多小動物正在等著她的幫助,所以她可能很忙。我們進了小屋棚,那是一間用樹葉和樹枝蓋成的小房子。我們東瞧西看,屋內有很多食物、藥品、水和其他東西。
黛拉正抱著一隻可愛嬌小的老鼠,名叫艾莉絲。
『這隻可憐的小兔子受傷了而且被遺棄,快救救她或他!』凱蒂抱著兔子快步走向黛拉,急促地請求幫助。
黛拉接過兔子仔細端詳說:『我會幫這隻兔子看看牠有什麼毛病,也會確認牠是她或他。』
凱蒂聽後,開心使盡地緊緊抱住黛拉。
『別開心太早!我們還不知道牠是否有什麼問題?』黛拉冷靜地說。

《Story writing (Part 2) by Bella Chang, 8yrs old》
1847
I ate my dinner then did my work.
"It's going to be late. " Mom said.
I hate night, because there are many scary things coming out in the late night, like mummies, monsters, ghosts, snowmen...etc.
I went back to the room and saw my big sister Emma brushing her hair. Her hair is so soft and smooth, not like my hair is dirty and messy. I sit down and want to change my look. So I look at the mirror and keep saying: "I am beautiful, I am beautiful, I am beautiful, I am beautiful! " All that words made me dizzy.
The next Sunday morning, my mother is always busy. I hopped around happily in the kitchen. I want to meet Katie as soon as possible, and I want to eat some cookies, the crunchy cookies. My sister is still beautiful, she is swing her dress in front of me, it's like a sky blue color with a white bow.
"Katie must be waiting for me! "I yelled.
My mom gave me a piece of bread. She reminded me:" Stay safe and come back before…."
"I know before 12:00. "I left home and ran across the trees.
"RUSH!" I heard those big trees roaring in my ears, loud and clear.
The weather is so cold, feeling like eating 49 balls of ice cream on the coldest winter day!
"Hey! "I waved to Katie.
"Are you ok? "Katie asked me worried: "I mean you look like to have eaten 48 balls of ice cream."
"It's 49 balls of ice cream. "I corrected her.
Katie was confused and looked at me with a face that "with one of my not the right time to say that."
Later, we walked down to the creek. We had two bottles, and played a game called "Splashed bottle!". We made a hole in the bottle, filled the bottle with water, and then splashed water over our heads, like it's raining, and also like we were playing with a mean boy!
"Bump! " Suddenly, Katie and I heard strange noises.
We froze like two snowmen who ate 100 balls of ice cream.
Katie was brave, but now...
"I thought you were brave why don't I see it now" I said super duper cooper quietly.
She looked at me and scared so was I.
"We shouldn't be joking at this right moment. "Katie Said.
Katie tip toe then went across the creek. "Splash splash……"
"Shhh… you are making the alien go away! "
She nodded, moved forward slowly, stared at the thing, and then grasped it!
"Oh, it is a poor little bunny. " Katie looked at the rabbit, even... already loved it.
"The bunny went to sleep?" Katie hugged the bunny so tightly like a baby. Sometimes Katie's hug is not a good thing, because she always kinda too excited.
"Let's grab a hull bunch of leaves to make it soft and feed. "
"We should give it to Della." Katie suggested: "Della is nice nurse for animals. She is only 9 years old, but almost 10. 』
As we walked and walked, we finally arrived at Della's hideout. There were many small animals staying outside waiting for her help, so she might be very busy.
We went inside the the little hut, which like a small house made of leaves and sticks. We looked around, there were a lot of food, medicine, water and other things.
Della is holding a cute and petite mouse named Alice.
"This poor little bunny was hurt and unloved. You need to help him or her!" Katie walked quickly to Della and said very very fast.
Della looked at the bunny very close. "I will see what is wrong with the bunny and tell you it's a girl or boy. "
Katie hugged Della tight as she could.
"Don't be that happy, we still don’t know if it's OK? Della said.

winter is coming中文 在 Lena x 美國加州生活日記 Facebook 的精選貼文
最近跟美國媽友們聊天,經常第一句話是
▪️ 你還在美國嗎?
▪️ 你回台灣了嗎?
畢竟,美國疫情沒有好轉跡象,過陣子winter is coming,感覺只會越來越糟。
最近開車出門兜風
(對!連續三天我們都踏出家門了,但都在車上😆 純粹是媽媽懶得哄小孩午睡)
路上沒戴口罩的人覺得反而越來越多....甚至,許多美國人,有戴跟沒戴一樣,鼻子通通跑出來見客,是怎樣 🙄
不少媽友們已經回台灣。
這些大部分是小孩開始會走、會跑,很需要帶出門消耗體力 (不帶出門,就是消耗更多媽媽的體力) ,但疫情沒好轉,這邊公園都用黃布條,封的像是有命案發生一樣 🙈 無法讓小孩玩,也不敢讓小孩碰....
沒有幾個公園可去,只能去很大很大的public park, regional park,有時還會場場爆滿,嚇到不敢下車,等於是去人擠人呀!所以,選擇回台,多了家人幫忙照顧孩子,也能讓小孩安心的出門跑跳碰!
有些則是小孩要上課了,雖然我們這邊可以網課,但等於爸媽要陪同一起開電腦視訊上課。所以,目前有些朋友帶孩子回台灣了,目的是希望孩子能正常上學,跟朋友互動,也剛好能讓孩子趁這段時間學好中文。
👉🏻 據說台北美國學校候補排到500多名,一般學校也多了很多ABC小朋友加入。
也有部分媽友們,身分原因,例如綠卡還沒下來、工作簽證不敢貿然離境、....,所以繼續留在美國。
更多朋友是放心不下老公,擔心老公自己一人在美賺錢,萬一生病沒人顧 (我家就是這個原因) 沒人煮飯給老公吃...
雖然我家老公一直WFH,但實際上我是一打三!還要煮三餐+準備下午茶點心
老公自己的公司事情爆多,業績爆好,所以他這陣子經常午餐吃完,碗就放洗碗槽就又進書房工作了。
因為一打二/三很累,常(每)常(天)都對老公說:好想回台灣 😭😭😭
👉🏻 最後被The Alley 鹿角巷珍奶、OMOMO珍奶給打發成功.....
講那麼多,其實最想講的是
OMOMO Culver上那間可以網路訂購,選好時間再去取,完全不用等囉!
#又是媽友提供的好消息
#這位媽友是在醫院生產認識的 🙈
