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。

violin position 在 Sam Tsang 曾思瀚 Facebook 的最讚貼文
I just learned of #ElijahMcClain. I cannot handle his story. His volunteering to play violin at an animal shelter to calm the animals speaks to a kind, young, compassionate man. His violent death in August 2019, at the hands of Aurora PD after a carotid choke hold and the pressure on his chest caused this 23 year old man to vomit, and the paramedics who responded to the call and per guidance from the PO, administered ketamine due to his agitated state. He suffered two cardiac arrests in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
All three responding officers miraculously had their camera fall off during the call. Their audio still worked. During the call, while applying the carotid choke hold, the officer is heard telling another officer who was picking one of the cameras, “Move the camera, dude.” He intentionally was avoiding being caught on camera doing what he was doing. Because the audio worked, we have Elijah’s last statements to the police:
“I can’t breath. I have my ID right here. My name is Elijah McClain. That’s my house. I am just going home. I’m an introvert. I’m just different. That’s all. I’m so sorry. I don’t have a gun. I don’t do that stuff. I don’t do any fighting. Why are you attacking me? I don’t even kill flies! I don’t eat meat! But I don’t judge people, I don’t judge people who do eat meat. Forgive me. All I was trying to do was become better. I will do it. I will do anything. Sacrifice my identity. I’ll do it. You are all phenomenal. You are beautiful. And I love you. Try to forgive me. I am a mood Gemini. I’m sorry. I am so sorry. Ow, that really hurt. You all are very strong. Teamwork makes the dream work....(crying)...oh I’m sorry, I wasn’t trying to do that, I just can’t breath correctly.”

***************
This post is getting a lot of attention. From the artist of this image:
“Thank you to everyone who has grieved for Elijah and shared his story. Because people are becoming aware of this tragic story and using their voices to demand justice, Governor Jared Polis has appointed a new, independent prosecutor to investigate this case.
But THIS IS NOT ENOUGH!
THE KILLERS, Officers Nathan Woodyard, Jason Rosenblatt and Randy Roedema have been re-assigned by the police department but are still GETTING PAID with taxpayer dollars. This is not right and we need to continue to apply pressure to our elected officials.
*** Please call the office of Governor Polis
303-866-2471 to demand that the officers are fired immediately while the investigation proceeds.
Additionally, District Attorney Dave Young declined to file criminal charges and he should RESIGN IMMEDIATELY for not holding the officers accountable.
***Please demand of Governor Polis that DA Dave Young is removed from his position for willfully and persistently failing to perform his duty to file criminal charges against the officers who killed Elijah.”
violin position 在 KIVΛ Facebook 的精選貼文
Hello. I am KIVΛ.
Over the past 3 years, I have been working under Rayark Inc. on the rhythm game title 《Cytus II》 as Sound Director, as well as music and sound effects production, together with story design and a portion of motion design. In June last year, I found myself going into different paths with the company, so I left the position as regular staff member, but continued to work with the remainder of the project until version 3.0, where the story finally reaches the finale, so did my journey and objectives for this game development journey. Having this opportunity, I would like to share some of my thoughts regarding this epilogue.
Since I joined this project, the focus of design has always been the joint experience of story and music. With the story reaching the end, I would like to potrait the overall ambient to be more film-like, which players might experience the tension of the climax through music. Having such thoughts, I was determined to unify the music genre in 3.0 as film-score like, blending in motifs from song lineup of each and every game character. I am totally aware that level design for symphonic music is difficult, especially in emphasizing the groove like how it was usually done in electronic music. I want to thank all level designers for their hard work in overcoming such challenges.
The epic vibe from combining contemporary electronic and symphonic music is something that I always wanted to attempt for, and in my previous works there has been appearance of such sound elements, but by using only virtual instruments it might just not reaching my expected result. I want to thank Rayark for being so generous to provide all the support, making the symphonic recording come true.
Having such opportunity, I went for two of my friends who I have never work together with: Shao-ting Sun, a recording engineer in Carnegie NYC; Chamber Chu, a symphonic music producer. They have been my game peers for quite a while, but I have always been admiring their aesthetics and abilities in sound design, and these two grandmasters have definitely outperformed themselves. I spent a whole week staying with Chamber for the arrangement of symphonic parts, which was a very precious experience in music creation. The recording team that Sun brought together, as well as the professional performers that participated in the recording session, is by no doubt astonishing. Recalling that we rushed for the full score of all the pieces until the very morning of the recording session (our sincere apologies), but it took no more than 5 takes for all sections to get the desired outcome. Absolutely fascinataing.
It is also worth mentioning that the entire team of roughly 60 were all Taiwanese. I guess we might have made another achievement in the history of Taiwanese game music production. I am so honoured to have the opportunity in leading such a groundbreaking project, together with all the grandmasters.
3 years isn't that long, but it is more than one out of ten for my life. There were other creation experience that were fun but painful, and many achievements were unlocked when I worked in this company. Standing on the stage in front of the screaming crowd, working with Japanese voice actors that I admired for so long, having so many supporters of my work, all these could never be possible without Rayark. Even I left the company going for different paths, I still wish for the very best of this company to become a even better one.
It is a pity that I can no longer work together with the fantastic members of Team Cytus. Perhaps they are fed up with my twisted personality and being stubborn for what I wanted to create. I would like to thank you all for your understanding and forgiveness. Each of you have the profession and passion, and I found myself so tiny and unintellegent working with all of you, and I have learned a lot over the years. I wish all of you could push the creative industry in Taiwan even further forward. I am returning as a mere artist, working hard on what I could. No matter how harsh life is, I am still working on it, as this is the only thing I am capable to do.
Last but not least, I would like to thank all of you players that have supported this game. Without you, this could never happen. No matter to me, to the Team and to the players, 《Cytus II》 might not be the perfect piece of game, we might have different imaginations on the enormous world settings, characters or even the game design itself. What in common was we spent 3 years to experience the creation and playing process. It is the story and music that linked us together. I believe this is the charisma of the game. I wish you are all loving this game, loving the characters, and loving the time that we created together.
There are so many more to thank, to apologize, the satisfaction and sorrows, and they are all included in this ending music. It is time for me to step down.
Thank you, and goodbye.
