《從敘利亞逃難到奧運的故事》
* 馬蒂妮和她姐姐逃離敘利亞的時候,橡皮艇失去了動力,她們兩個女孩是唯一會游泳的人,她們跳到海裡一起拉著橡皮艇,帶著船上的18個難民,游了3個半鐘頭才上岸...
那是2015年8月的一個晚上,17歲的尤斯拉馬蒂妮(YUSRA MARDINI)決定跟著姊姊莎拉,倆個未成年的少女,為追夢未來,開始踏上未知的、冒險的、極少歐洲人願意接納的冒險之路。
或許她們會沉屍海底,會餓死於路途之中。
但留在戰亂的家鄉敘利亞,答案已經很清楚:絕望、內戰、砲火⋯⋯永遠不會結束。
那一天,她們來到海邊,搭上一個頂多只能乘載7人的橡皮艇,但協助逃亡的人蛇集團安排了20多人。
橡皮艇晚間6點30分左右出發,引擎在出發後的30分鐘已經故障。
暗夜之中,他們在大浪中漂流,希臘陸地近在咫尺,近10公里。波浪舞起,感覺每一次好像往前推的力量,又把他們拉回海中,陸地如遙遠的海市蜃樓,忽現忽隱。
馬蒂妮與莎拉是艇上少數會游泳的人,她們決定跳入海中,暗夜中姊妹二人與海浪搏鬥 。游了3.5個小時,使盡全身的力氣,終於抵達好似永遠到不了的天堂。
橡皮艇上的20多名難民,因此度過了人生最大的刧難。
這三個半小時很順利嗎?
當浪潮不斷打在她們身上、浪潮的方向剛好和她們前進的方向相反,不斷阻止她們往前。一群不被祝福的人,在什麼地方都是磨難。至今回想當時的心情,她說:「我覺得我們好像永遠都到不了。」
終於抵達希臘勒斯博島(Lesbos),上岸回頭一看,多少族人葬身名為愛琴海美麗藍色海域的海底。
她們抵達地早,這是惟一的幸運。
因為幾個月之後,歐洲即掀起了反難民浪潮。
她們徒步走過巴爾幹半島數個國家,有歡迎的,有冷漠的。但至少沒有遭受毆打。
隨後,一個叫Alan Kurdi的敍利亞小男孩如沉睡的天使,躺在土耳其海灘上,以過早的死亡默默控訴人間無情。
梅克爾媽媽因此宣布德國接納百萬敍利亞難民的計劃。
馬蒂妮與姊姊幸運地在德國落腳、重新開始新的人生,入學,包括游泳訓練,2016年她入選里約奧運難民代表隊:今年她再以難民身分參加東京奧運。
馬蒂妮參加奧運比賽不是爲了得金牌、銀牌,也不為彰顯自己的家園。
她說:「這些年來,讓我覺得最難過的是我看到各國政府對待難民的方式,有些乾脆把渡海的難民推回海裡,任憑大海吞噬他們的生命。有些則把難民關起來,罪名是非法入境。好啊,那請給我們一個合法入境的方式。有嗎?那不過是拒絕的藉口。」
誰願意成為難民?
他們都是家園沒有止境的內戰及絕望,一群不得不找避難所、找一個可以安全生活的人。一個天空升起的光芒,是太陽,不是炮火的地方。
所有的難民,都是不得已,才成為難民。
參加奧運的難民代表隊,是一支很特別的隊伍,「每個人都有自己的故事與掙扎,但夢想推著他們前進,儘管他們失去了那麼多,但從未放棄追夢。」
尤斯拉馬蒂妮在東奧的競賽中,無緣晉級獎牌賽,但她與難民隊選手參賽所傳遞的訊息,遠遠重要於比賽結果。
難民代表隊想勉勵世上所有的難民,所有受苦的人,永遠懷抱夢想,永遠保有勇氣。
命運瞄准他們,使其悲苦。命運也敲響他們的心,使其強壯。

聖誕冷知識!
Are you ready for some Christmas trivia?
準備好挑戰關於聖誕節的冷知識大考驗了嗎?
Test you friends on these tidbits of Christmas knowledge. How many did you get right?
考考你朋友有關聖誕節的趣聞知識,你答對了幾題?
祝同學聖誕節快樂🎄🎁🎅
★★★★★★★★★★★
1. Out of every 10 people, how many Americans celebrate Christmas?
美國人當中每十人有幾個慶祝聖誕節?
Answer: Nine in 10 Americans celebrate Christmas, according to a 2017 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, and around 55% consider it a religious holiday, while 33% think of it as more of a cultural celebration.
皮尤研究中心於2017年進行的一項調查顯示,十分之九的美國人慶祝聖誕節;大約55%的人將其視為宗教節日,而33%的人則將其視為一種文化慶祝活動。
★★★★★★★★★★★
2. Has Christmas ever been illegal to celebrate?
慶祝聖誕節曾經是非法的嗎?
Yes. The Massachusetts-Bay Colony ordinance of 1659 made Christmas illegal to celebrate in that specific colony. The law was repealed in 1681. Christmas didn’t become a state holiday in Massachusetts until 1856, though.
沒錯。 1659年的馬薩諸塞州灣殖民地法令讓在那個殖民地慶祝聖誕節是非法的,該法律於1681年被廢止。聖誕節直到1856年才成為馬薩諸塞州的國定假日。
★★★★★★★★★★★
3. How did red and green become Christmas colors?
紅和綠是如何成為聖誕節代表色?
We mostly have holly and Coca-Cola to thank for the rise of red and green as Christmas colors. Holly, obviously, has bright red berries and dark green leaves. It was used long ago by the ancient Celts for winter solstice celebrations as a symbol of protection and good luck. Coca-Cola’s role in making the colors a widespread combo for the holiday began in 1931 with ads featuring Santa Claus in a red and white suit surrounded by a green background and accents.
拜冬青樹和可口可樂所賜,紅色和綠色逐漸成為聖誕節的顏色。顯然地,冬青有鮮豔的紅色漿果和深綠色的葉子;古代凱爾特人很早以前就用它作為冬至慶祝活動,冬青有保護和好運的象徵。可口可樂讓這兩個顏色成為聖誕節廣為人知的組成則始於1931年,廣告中聖誕老人穿著紅色和白色的西裝,周圍環繞著綠色背景和符號點綴。
★★★★★★★★★★★
4. True or false: "Jingle Bells" was written to be a Christmas song.
「鈴兒響叮噹」是為了聖誕節而寫的對嗎?
False! The song wasn’t intended to be attached to the holiday. Some historical reports say it was first performed at a Thanksgiving church service. In any case, the lyrics don’t mention any holiday at all.
錯!這首歌當初和這節日沒有關聯。有歷史報導說這首歌第一次是在感恩節教堂第一次被表演。總之,歌詞當中根本沒有提到任何節日。
★★★★★★★★★★★
5. How many Americans use artificial Christmas trees?
多少美國人會用人造聖誕樹?
A survey conducted by Nielsen for the American Christmas Tree Association found that nearly 94 million U.S. households will display a Christmas tree this year. Of those, 85 percent are artificial.
尼爾森為美國聖誕樹協會所做的一項調查發現,今年有將近9,400萬的美國家庭展示聖誕樹,其中85%是人造的。
★★★★★★★★★★★
6. How much do Americans spend on holiday shopping?
美國人在聖誕節會花多少錢買東西?
The National Retail Federation reports that Americans plan to spend an average of about $998 this year on holiday shopping. That’s down from last year’s average of around $1,048.
全美零售聯合會指出,美國人預計在這個聖誕節平均花費大約998美元消費,相較去年的平均值1,048美元有所下滑。
★★★★★★★★★★★
7. True or false: People no longer send out Christmas cards.
人們不再寄聖誕卡片了對嗎?
False! The rate of sending any greeting card has gone down over the years, but this year especially, people are sending holiday cards as a way to connect with others during the pandemic.
錯!這些年來發賀卡的速度不斷下降,但特別是在今年,為了在流行病期間與他人聯繫,人們會發送節日賀卡。
★★★★★★★★★★★
8. What's the most popular Christmas song of all time?
歷史上最受歡迎的聖誕節歌曲為何?
Answer: The most recorded Christmas song of all time is "Silent Night," according to Time, whereas "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby holds the Guinness World Record for the best-selling single.
答:根據《時代》雜誌,有史以來錄製最多次的聖誕節歌曲是《寂靜的夜晚》,而Bing Crosby的《白色聖誕節》則維持吉尼斯世界紀錄的最高銷量。
★★★★★★★★★★★
9. Why do we hang Christmas stockings?
為什麼我們要掛聖誕襪?
Answer: The tradition came about thanks to a legend that states the generous Turkish bishop St. Nicholas helped a set of three poor sisters avoid a life of indentured servitude by paying for their dowries. For three nights, the bishop threw gold down their chimney, which landed in their stockings hung by their fireplace to dry. Now we carry on the tradition by hanging stockings to fill with gifts and small treats.
答:這個傳統來自於一個傳奇。故事說道,慷慨的土耳其主教聖尼古拉斯支付嫁妝幫助一組可憐的三個姐妹免除奴役。主教把煙囪裡的金子扔了下來共三晚,而金子掉入壁爐旁掛著的長襪中晾乾了。現在,我們透過掛襪子來放禮物和小點心來延續傳統。
★★★★★★★★★★★
10. True or false: There was once a real-life Santa Claus.
現實生活中曾有聖誕老人對嗎?
Answer: True! The Christian bishop Saint Nicholas was the inspiration behind the jolly man we all know and love. St. Nicholas, a generous, gift-gifting clergyman, lived in modern day Turkey and devoted his life to helping the poor, according to Biography.
答:沒錯!基督教主教聖尼古拉是我們大家都知道並且喜歡的歡樂男人(聖誕老人)背後的靈感來源。根據傳記,聖尼古拉斯是一位慷慨、會送禮的神職人員,住在現代土耳其,一生致力於幫助窮人。
★★★★★★★★★★★
Bonus Question: Can you still say Merry Christmas?
I will leave this question to you.
你還能再說「聖誕快樂」嗎?還是要講別的說法? 這問題的答案留給你好好思考。
