#香港日常
奧斯卡展開小學生活一個月了。
看似日常的循環,適應的算是可以。托班主任的福,奧斯卡一樣的非常喜歡小學校園生活~
🔍數學對他來說「easy」、自己放學後數學可以「自己」完成,我只需要檢查抓漏,他寫錯的一題,是把答案寫在格子裡,人家題目就說寫ABCD了!!算粗心嗎?算~不過想稱讚他數學真的吸收得好棒,連我幫他報名奧數比賽題目之一中的3-5+8測試考題都答對(小一考負數運算是正常的嗎?還是我不正常?)
🔍中文家課一定擺到我下班後才「一起」寫,一樣寫得歪七扭八(我只要求比劃對)字醜算了~
🔍英文家課還可以,學Phonics的好處讓他自行閱讀有一定的幫助,閱讀文章答題他竟然可以用「猜」的,找「關鍵字」很好!但小一英文He,She,It,They ,We他分得出來is,am,are~英文家教錢沒白花(想當初我們國中才學得的,我兒子小一就會了!!)
總結,奧斯卡的學習大致是不錯的,大家小孩都有的症頭我家這隻也沒少,一開始「抄漏家課冊」、「書包底有張壓爛的工作紙」是正常。開學3周後也進步很多,我只要求抄對行,其他字抄醜我就不要求了~
🔍「默書」?還沒有 !可能Happy School!?(不過學校有預告下個月會英默的單字)奧斯卡唸得學校是我非常喜歡的,雖然地區排行(其實說穿了不過就家長排行)在中後~但我完全不用害怕「孩子學習倦怠」的隱憂,因為在我看來,對於每天早起身到學校適應得很好(他原是下午班幼稚園),對每一個展開的新日子仍是雀躍的感覺,對家長我來說才是最重要的!
只是家長我本人才需要調整心態,我不是多會教小孩的媽媽,我一樣會盯功課氣到說我不想教了,但又不想塞他進什麼功課班~默默小聲說~下一頁。
我也沒什麼心機規劃他的「放學時間」,目標只放在把父母下班後最重要的「家庭時光」切劃出來,讓一家人在忙碌一天後,可以好好的經營親子關係,交換這一天的感受,有何開心事~家人間互相讚美、鼓勵或是安慰,最後趕小孩上床,讓大家好好睡上一覺。
我想醒來的隔天,有繼續前進的能量和目標,因為至少「努力過好每一天」,才會是一個為新的一天努力的動機呀!
其實我只是想說 #教師節快樂
老師們⋯我愛死妳們了!

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。

◎作者簡介
Bob Dylan,本名Robert Allen Zimmerman,1941年生於美國明尼蘇達。創作歌手、作家、2016年諾貝爾文學獎得主。
狄倫是二十世紀以降西方樂壇最受尊崇、影響力最大的創作歌手,在《滾石雜誌》評選的「史上百大創作歌手」名列第一。他不僅繼承吟唱詩人的民歌傳統,亦能融會古今,緊扣時代意識,翻轉語言質地,徹底改變了民謠的風貌。又與搖滾結合,打破樂種藩籬,成為青年叛逆文化的旗手。同代人風行草偃,觸發了西方流行樂的巨大變革。其後一度回歸鄉村樂與草根歌謠,並漸次鎔鑄各路樂風,賦傳統以新意,亦帶來極深遠的影響。
畢生獲獎無數,包括十一座葛萊美獎(含一座終身成就獎),並曾以電影主題曲獲奧斯卡獎與金球獎,1988年進入搖滾名人堂。2008年以其「歌詞創作飽含特出的詩的力量,對流行音樂和美國文化帶來深遠影響」獲普立茲特別獎。
2016年獲頒諾貝爾文學獎,成為第一位獲此獎項的音樂人。瑞典學院表彰他「在偉大的美國歌謠傳統裡創造了全新的詩意表達」。
狄倫迄今出版逾三十張錄音室專輯,並著有小說《狼蛛》(Tarantula)、自傳《搖滾記》(Chronicles: Vol.1,中文版由大塊文化出版)。他也是業餘畫家,曾出版畫冊多種,並有鑄鐵裝置等藝術創作。
《巴布.狄倫歌詩集》收錄了狄倫1961至2012年間創作的386首歌詞,中英文對照,依31張專輯次序整理,其中多首經狄倫親手重新編輯。《紐約時報》謂:「狄倫作為一位歌手而足以躋身文學史,這部書便是最有力的證據。」

◎小編淵智賞析
這首〈Blowing in the wind〉想來大家都不陌生,作為Bob Dylan最被人記得的歌之一,從1963年發行以來,深深地影響了全世界整整一世代的人。臺灣自然也不例外,楊弦的〈江湖上〉便是向此歌致敬的衍生之作之一。Bob Dylan的許多歌曲,除了對音樂的實驗,也在其中納入了許多對於人生、社會的深刻思索,這也使得他在2016年獲得了諾貝爾文學獎,也是第一名獲得該獎的歌手,此舉一出無數人驚訝之餘,卻也紛紛表示能理解此一選擇。然而,即使有著這樣的光環,Bob Dylan卻在半年後,才親自領取此一獎章。在許多人譴責他傲慢無禮的同時,卻也得以讓我們看見他如何視這些榮譽如浮雲,也讓我們在他身上,真真正正地體會到了何謂「吟遊詩人」的姿態。正如Bob Dylan曾在1969年的訪談中說過:「我只把歌詞看成用來唱的東西,真正重要的,是字句依附的音樂。我寫歌,是因為我總得有些什麼可唱。這是紙上的字句和歌曲的差別:歌在空中轉瞬即逝,紙頁卻能長留。一位偉大的詩人,比方華萊士‧史蒂文斯(Wallace Stevens, 1879-1955)未必能成就偉大的歌者。一位偉大的歌者,像是比莉‧哈樂黛(Billie Holiday, 1915-1959),卻總是能夠成就偉大的詩人。」*
回到歌詞,整首歌分成三段,每段的結構近似,由三個問題開始,並以「The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind答案呀,吾友,隨風飄盪/The answer is blowin' in the wind答案就飄盪在風裡」作結,彷彿屈原面對世間種種萬物所賦之《天問》,差別在於Bob Dylan問的問題並不像屈原那樣從天地離分、陰陽變化、日月星辰等自然現象,一直問到神話傳説乃至聖賢兇頑和治亂興衰等問題。Bob Dylan的問題如此簡單,在三段分別開頭的第一個問題,他只問了白鴿、高山和天空,接著便回過頭來,以此自然現象的推移隱喻接力至人的存在:和平與戰爭、自由與囚禁、死亡與生命,這三件事幾乎便是人類有史以來永恆的命題,然而經過幾千年的歷史,我們卻似乎依然陷於這樣的困境,無法脫身。Bob Dylan歌中所建立的世界,便不僅僅只是當代,而是只要人類存在一日,便永遠無法迴避的。也正因如此,他的歌反應的世界觀永遠不會過時,在一個吟遊詩人走在風裡時,他所歌唱的一切,也正隨著風,垂問著一切尚在變動的事物、一切人的行動,而這些問題,也正問著我們:究竟人類能否為人類自身造成的苦難負起責任?
