📰 Why Being Kind Helps You, Too—Especially Now
助人也助己，尤其是現在！

Research links kindness to a wealth of physical and emotional benefits. And it’s an excellent coping skill for the Covid-19 era.

📌 這篇文章的用字不難，但它的內容讓我們長知識，如果我們需要寫有關這個題目的作文，可以引述這裡的論點。標題聲稱友善 (kind) 可以幫助你，特別是現在，這樣寫，同時也可以吸引讀者閲讀文章。根據研究 (research)，友善 (kindness) 跟身體和情感好處 (physical and emotional benefits) 有關，它也是卓越的 (excellent) 應付技巧 (coping skill)。

In January, Rachel Glyn’s husband of 36 years died of cancer. Two months later, the pandemic and lockdown hit. Alone in her Philadelphia apartment, Ms. Glyn spent her time worrying about the coronavirus, the financial markets and the civil unrest happening a few blocks away. Some days, she says, she wished she would die. “I’ll never have another day that doesn’t stink,” she told herself.

📌 這段介紹Rachel Glyn 喪夫之後所面對的問題：她擔心冠狀病毒 (coronavirus)、金融市場 (financial markets) 和內亂 (civil unrest)。有些日子她想尋短。stink (糟透) 是常用口語說法。

Then one morning, Ms. Glyn, who is 66, heard about a local blood drive and thought, “My life isn’t a pathetic mess after all: I have the ability to give.” She walked to a nearby hospital and donated. Afterward, she was “exhilarated,” she says.
“It felt wonderful to do something useful for someone,” Ms. Glyn says. “I no longer was this nobody who has nothing to do except endure a wretched situation.”

📌 這兩段交代Ms Glyn 如何走出困境：她得知當地的一個捐血活動 (local blood drive)，她想人生不是這麼可憐混亂 (pathetic mess)。捐完血後，她覺得異常興奮 (exhilarated)。文中所提的「悲慘情況」 (wretched situation)，與 pathetic mess 前後呼應，是個不錯的修辭技巧。

Want to feel better? Be kind.
It’s a good thing to make another person feel good. But being kind—doing something to help someone else—can help you, too. Research links kindness to a wealth of physical and emotional benefits. Studies show that when people are kind, they have lower levels of stress hormones and their fight-or-flight response calms down. They’re less depressed, less lonely and happier. They have better cardiovascular health and live longer. They may be physically stronger. They’re more popular. And a soon-to-be published study found that they may even be considered better looking.

📌 這段闡述友善如何對你有好處：較低的壓力荷爾蒙 (lower levels of stress hormones)、戰與逃的反應平靜下來 (fight-or-flight response calms down)、情緒沒有原來的低落 (less depressed)、孤單感覺降低 (less lonely) 、感到更開心 (happier) 等等。

Being kind is an excellent coping skill for the Covid-19 era. In a time of isolation, kindness fosters connection to others. It helps provide purpose and meaning to our life, allowing us to put our values into practice. And it diminishes our negative thoughts. “Our attention isn’t something that is infinitely expansive,” says Emiliana Simon-Thomas, science director of the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley. “What we are feeling at any given moment is related to what we are doing, so if we are behaving kindly, that experience will occupy our emotion.”

📌 這段關於「友善」，要怎樣在2019冠狀病毒的年代 (era) ，成爲卓越的應付技巧，並引述加州大學科學主任 (science director) 的話來支持論據。這是常用的修辭技巧 — 引用權威。

Dear fellow SWAT Prefects & readers,

Last week around 2am, a junior texted me and he mentioned about a speech I made during the closing ceremony in our Prefect SWAT Camp in January 2015. I got off my bed and looked up the camp files in my external hard drive. The heavy emotions from the memories and this camp trailer video in particular, prompted me to write this letter.

*rewinding back to January 2015, I was 19*

After the closing ceremony of our 2 Days 1 Night SWAT Camp, after all the junior campers went back, I sat down with my teammates on the floor in the carpark, our principle Pn.Lim stood in front of us, furious, she yelled “你们很失败!” meaning “YOU ALL FAILED HORRIBLY!”

To get into detail about why the camp failed can be a lengthy session. I’ll save your time.

Long story short. Yes, we failed. But that failure wasn’t wasted. Therefore, to honour that memory & that failure, here are 7 lessons I learnt from that event.

1. “Do what you do best, and delegate the rest.”
2. “Proper preparation prevents poor performance.”
3. Prioritisation prevents unnecessary distractions.
4. Ask for feedback in a frequent manner & adjust accordingly.
5. Honour those who gave you the opportunity to do what you do.
6. You can be as great as you want to be, but never let your ego take the lead.
7. Having a good start is just as important as having a great ending.
A video trailer or an announcement of an event does not determine the quality of the outcome OF the event.

Pn.Lim’s words that night & the school’s decision to strip away Victor’s HeadPrefect title that year, was 2 of the best things that has ever happened to him. It made him more thoughtful, quieter, and wiser. Had everything been perfect throughout the camp, he’ll be driving himself into a thicker wall.

And I’ll always remember what Ms.LewYS said in that meeting room after the announcement of Head Prefect Posts, “上天的安排，是最好的安排。”

So thank you. Thank you. And thank you.

Perspective is vital & I hope my hindsights can benefit your foresights. And if it did, please do me a favour & pass on the light.

Cheers ☺️

Thank you for reading.
Chapter SWAT, closed.

《添丁發財》(English version below)

「添丁發財」這四個漢字，是中華民族非常喜愛的。多用在祝賀新婚夫婦。不過吾相信，就算是非中華民族，祇要她他知曉，這四個漢字的意識，同樣會欣然接受。那爲什麼這四個漢字，如此廣受大眾接納呢？因爲，小朋友乃夫妻婚後，家庭喜樂、接代的生力軍。有了這些生力軍，夫妻對未來著實有了展望。尤其是男性，自然會增加其奮鬥力。再者，所謂妻、財、子、祿，娶了老婆，財跟著來。有了小朋友，祿位亦隨之。

懂得玄學的人皆知，爲何新婚夫婦，必需在狀邊裝置兩盞燈。這是一種風水，是加持新婚夫婦早生貴子，亦是添丁也。孩子是福氣的一種象徵，沒啥福氣的，還真生不出來呢！當然，也別因爲這原因，就拼命的生（一笑）。要知道，一個人要養幾個口，也真需要更厚的福氣啊！不過，在夫妻「享受」時，不小心又製造了新生命，一定要把她他生下來，千萬勿將她他給墮掉，這不簡單是福氣的大折，更是妳你未來慘痛、悲痛的果報。切記！切記！

添丁也屬於一種旺氣。生人住的地方，就叫著陽宅。死人住的地方，就叫著陰宅。因此，一個家庭有小朋友來報到，家中自然就增添一股生旺之氣，這生旺之氣，會將家中的煞氣給排出。這也就是爲什麼我們會聽到，誰呀誰家中有了小朋友、昇職加薪、中樂透獎等等。另一個說法是之前吾提到，有孩子本是一種福氣，且孩子也是一種水氣。而水氣在風水裡，是個靈魂人物。因水至財，正如魚不能須臾離水，人不能須臾離財是也。

吾，玳瑚師父，並不是昨日剛出道的。在一個成年人歲數的歲月裡，吾會用堪虞術，幫助人們圓子夢。在風水上，絕對可以查知，爲何結婚多年，小朋友遲遲未來報到。若欲想有子女的夫妻，且莫購買缺東與東南角的屋子，因那是難有子女的屋相。倘若已買了，妳你就非得來找吾不可。吾這樣說是因爲，吾懂得將這種無子女相的屋子，轉爲有子女相的屋子。如果妳你認識懂得化解這種屋相的師父，妳你當然可以去找她他，不一定要找吾啦！添丁發財，是含有風水知識的吉祥祝語。

The four Han characters 「添丁發財」 are very much adored by the Chinese. They are mainly used to wish newly weds. But I believe that if a non-Chinese understands the meaning behind these four Han characters, he or she will also gladly accept them. Why are these 4 Han characters so well-accepted by the masses? Because after a couple married, children are the new forces of joy who carry on the family line. With these new troops, the couple will have a firm vision for their future, especially for the man, whose fighting spirit will naturally intensify. Moreover, according to the phrase "Wife, Wealth, Descendants, Status", after marrying a wife, wealth will follow along. And after having children, status will come along too.

People who understand Chinese Metaphysics will definitely know why a newly-wed couple must install two table lamps on the sides of their bed. This is a Feng Shui technique, to bless the couple with a noble son soon, i.e. to add a son to the family. A child is a symbol of good fortune. Those with little fortune will find it difficult to conceive. Of course, please do not over-do it because of this reason! You must know, for one person to feed more mouths indeed require greater fortune! However, should an "accident" happen between a couple, and a life is conceived, you must give birth to the child. You must never abort the foetus. Not only will abortion greatly deplete your fortune, it will also be the cause of your future pain and sorrowful misery! Please remember!

Having a newborn is a form of auspicious energy. A place where living humans reside is called a Yang House whereas a Yin House is one where the dead rest. Hence, when a newborn comes knocking, there will naturally be this flourishing energy of growth. This growth and flourishing energy will drive the baleful energies out of the house. This is why we often hear of incidents where someone struck lottery, or got promoted and a raise at work because of a newborn at home. Another viewpoint is one I have mentioned previously, that having a child is a symbol of good fortune, and children is a form of water energies. And the water energy in Feng Shui plays a critical role. Because the water energy brings wealth, just like fish cannot be away from water, Man cannot survive without Wealth.

I, Master Dai Hu, did not just start out yesterday. In the time as long as the age of a young adult, I have used Feng Shui techniques to fulfil the children dream of many people. In Feng Shui, one can absolutely ascertain why a couple remains childless after many years of marriage. For couples wishing to have a child, do not buy a house that is lacking the East and South-East sectors as that kind of house represents a "childless" home. If you have already bought such a house, you must come look for me. I say it so because I know how to transform a "childless" home to one with children. If you know a master who has such an ability, of course, you can engage his/her service, not necessarily me! The Chinese phrase 「添丁發財」 is a well-wishing phrase steeped in Feng Shui knowledge.
