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。

☘️☘️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。

【新歌上架！！】

這是一首和 國立臺灣史前文化博物館 National Museum of Prehistory 及 蓋亞文化 出版的台灣史前奇幻冒險小說「風暴之子」擦出火花的歌曲－〈古老森林的後裔 Grandsons of Ancient Forest〉。
-
歌曲以風暴之子的故事情節為發想，用聲音和旋律來打造人們對於這個失落卻無比珍貴的臺灣古文明一卑南文化的情感連結。在三千多年前的部落裡，人們追隨著古老的信仰，彼此相依的在這塊土地上生活著，而這片土地，我們稱呼為「台灣」，你是否也曾聆聽過這片山林，山林裡長眠於此的人們，正在與我們訴說這片土地的美麗故事，而這一切從來就不該被遺忘。

特別謝謝帶我們了解許多卑南文化的 葉長庚、宜婷、芸甯，難忘那天驅車前往台東參觀卑南文化的遺址、由你們帶領我們翻閱文獻、近距離觀看這些出土文物，聆聽背景文化與故事。卑南文化做為台灣重要的史前文化之一，能有這些轉譯的發想與執行，每個環節都令人興奮，期待越來越多人以新的目光聆聽這些土地蘊藏的美麗故事。

【歌曲介紹】

Vali，是風的古語，也曾是一名少年與一頭雲豹的名字。狂風暴雨中，一條獨木舟劇烈起伏，卻始終不曾沉沒。船上什麼都沒有，只有一個昏迷的小孩—瓦利。這個在風暴中存活的奇蹟男孩，在踏上海境的土地後，將以風為名，在異族部落裡蛻變重生，開啟屬於他的遠古冒險長征......。
-
歌曲內少年歌唱著一段部落長老們流傳的古老旋律，旋律裡唱述著：
Dee ie enssaa dnaaya（半月下的太陽之子）
Ii issee ento ui（靈魂永駐幻化成樹）
Kii inssee essaa libaya（聽，森林的細語唏囌）
io si kenna（唱述大地的美麗故事）
-
而歌曲開端則訴說：
Mriya dehita
iude taka emu
Ameyín sáiya
（所有神話的背後都源於一段真實故事）
-
主要演奏樂器為Lira de la estela de Luna，是由伊比利半島Luna（月亮）小鎮出土的一座石碑上圖案所復刻出的樂器，中文譯為月亮里拉琴（或稱塔特西里拉琴），該石碑目前存放於西班牙當地Zaragoza博物館，年代距今三千年左右，恰好與卑南文化時期有所重疊。歌曲中點綴著多種原始的傳統樂器，像是以羊趾甲製作而成的 Chajchas、早期以木頭製成的笛子 Quena、會發出下雨聲音的Palo de Lluvia 求雨棒、以種子製成的 Güiro de calabaza seca、跳舞專用的腳鈴 Pad Ghungroo、羊皮手鼓Frame Drum等等，期許用更開闊的聲響，編織出人們對於卑南文化的無限想像。

【Information about Grandsons of Ancient Forest - Vali Original Soundtrack】

Vali is Taiwan’s first fantasy-adventure novel set in prehistoric times (more precisely, about 3,000 years ago). It is based on the Peinan culture.
-
• Plot: The word “vali” means “wind” in an ancient language of Taiwan, and it is also the name of the boy and clouded leopard in the story. During a fierce storm, a canoe is violently tossed about on the water, staying afloat in spite of the tempest. All that is in the canoe is an unconscious boy, whose survival is a miracle and who will later be named after the wind—“Vali.” He ends up living with a tribe that is not his own, transforming, experiencing rebirth, and embarking on a long adventure…
-
• About the song: The song, inspired by the plot of Vali, creates a musical and emotional link between listeners and a lost yet incomparably precious ancient civilization of Taiwan—the Peinan culture. Over 3,000 years ago, the inhabitants of a settlement on this island lived and depended on one another while following their religious beliefs. We call this island “Taiwan.” Have you ever listened carefully to its mountain forests and the people who sleep eternally in them? They are telling us the beautiful stories of Taiwan, stories that never should have been forgotten.
-
In the song, the boy sings an ancient melody passed down by the village elders, which goes:
Dee ie enssaa dnaaya (Children of the sun, beneath a half moon.)
Ii issee ento ui (Their spirits live eternally in the form of trees.)
Kii inssee essaa libaya (Hear the whispers of the forest,)
io si kenna (singing the beautiful stories of this land.)
-
The beginning of the song goes:
Mriya dehita
iude taka emu
Ameyín sáiya
(All myths are based on true stories.)
-
The main instrument is Lira de la estela de Luna(Lyre of Luna). It is the recreation of one of the oldest string instruments of the Iberian Peninsula. It was created based on an engraving representing a string instrument similar to an ancient Mediterranean lyre. This engraving is on an anthropomorphic funeral stele dating back three thousand years that was found in the town of Luna (Zaragoza) in 1975. The characteristics of the engraving are very similar to the style of the Tartessian period (10 to 6 B.C.).
Besides, this song is dotted with a variety of original traditional musical instruments, like Chajchas, Quena, Palo de Lluvia, Güiro de calabaza seca, Pad Ghungroo, Frame Drum, etc.
