20年前，我到了台灣，打算來這裡6個月。。。 剛來的那個時候也是剛剛9/11，美國被攻擊。不用說，從那以後發生了很多事情。20 years ago today, I arrived in Taiwan, expecting to stay here for 6 months…. It was also right when the World Trade Center was attacked. Needless to say, a lot has happened since then.

21歲的我，來台灣當實習醫生救護人員。 我在醫院跟消防隊實習，夢想是可以跟國際醫療團飛來飛去幫忙。 At 21 years old, I came to Taiwan to intern at the hospital and fire department, working as an EMT and getting ready for medical school. My dream was to work as a doctor with Doctors without Borders.

快要離開的時候，有人問我要不要拍一個內衣廣告。 我心理想了兩件事：“好cool喔！“ 跟 ”這個一定是詐騙吧！“ 沒想到，拍完這個廣告只是一個人生新的開始。一個有趣的新工作，包含了主持人，演員， 小提琴表演者，作家，製作人，演說家。 Just before I was to leave Taiwan, somebody asked me if I would be interested in auditioning for an underwear commercial. I thought “Oooh this could be fun!” and simultaneously, “I think I’m being scammed.” Turns out, it was the beginning of a very interesting new career as a travel show host, actor, professional violinist, writer, producer and motivational speaker.

20年在台灣， 我的人生的一半， 從在紅毯旁邊的醫療站救護人員到今年入圍最佳女配角，然後要走紅毯。我在這裡也剛好認識了我的好多的“老公”， 跟其中一位在台灣生了兩個兒子。20 years in Taiwan - I’ve gone from working the first aid station at the red carpet to now, this year, nominated for Best Supporting Actress and walking the red carpet. I met my many (on and off screen) husbands George, 黃尚禾，and 王識賢 and hopefully more (真可惜不是都是真真的老公哈哈) here. I started a family of two boys with one of them. 😂😂 @instageorgey

這幾年，我認識了好多好多影響，啟發、支持我的人。我也到處跟好多人拍了N張照片。 如果你剛好有， 可以跟我們分享嗎？ Tag我，然後也分享這張照片哪裡拍的， 什麼狀況拍的。 我想跟大家回顧這些美好的回憶！Over the past 20 years, I have met countless people who have influenced me, inspired me and supported me. I have taken thousands of photos with people I’ve met along the way - if you have taken a photo with me, please share with me here!!! Post it, tag me, tell me about this photo, where it was taken, what happened when we took that photo, etc. I want to relive some of these awesome memories and moments of my time here so far!

THANK YOU and to many many many more years, experiences and friendships!

(English below) 台南監獄是我在這裡見過在遺產保護的嘗試中最奇特的一個。最初建造於是日治時代，位在市中心附近，80年代初期原址被拆除時，值勤室和部分牢房被保留，但很奇怪地被移到了13公里外的新台南監獄並重建，然後閒置到荒廢。從Google街道實景就可以看到原址慢慢在倒塌，我覺得不能再更靠近因為那是監獄的一部分。如果任何人知道為什麼會發生這樣的事情，請告訴我，我真的很好奇！(From LTN: 勘查、審議後，未能列入文化資產. 在未來會做什麼?)

Tainan Prison is one of the strangest attempts at heritage protection I've seen here. Originally built in the Japanese era it was located near the center of the city. I drew it as part of Old Tainan. The headhouse and part of the cell block were saved when the site was demolished in the early 1980s. Bizarrely it was moved to the new Tainan Prison 13 kilometers away, rebuilt there, and then just left to rot. You can just about see it on Google Streetview slowly collapsing. I don't think it's possible to get close as it's part of the prison. Apparently it failed to get protected status and then was left. What will happen in the future?

（聽打、翻譯，基隆市議員 張之豪）

謝謝。我很榮幸來到這裡。我們來到這就是要強調（美國）跨黨派對台灣的支持與（兩國）的堅定的夥伴關係。這個疫情是個全球的挑戰，我們有太多人為此失去了親友，失去了維生的依據。過去一年半以來，我們也看到covid19沒有分國界，它傳播起來時毫不猶豫，也不在意種族、宗教或政治偏好，儘管有些國家就是想利用疫情來威嚇別國。

我們以朋友的身份來這裡，因為我們知道台灣正在挑戰艱鉅的時刻。這也讓我們三人跨黨派來這裡，更為重要。朋友就是要在有難的時候，互相幫助。拜登政權已經宣布將對全球支援8千萬劑疫苗，首批釋出的有2500萬。白宮與我們三人經過幾週的討論後，我很高興在此宣佈，台灣將先收到75萬劑的疫苗。台灣被包含在首批收到疫苗的國家裡，這件事，對美國極其重要。因為我們了解到台灣現在很急，而我們非常珍惜這個夥伴關係。今天上午，我們將與台灣的領袖見面，我們也將把台灣的訊息帶回華盛頓。我知道在未來的日子裡，拜登政權將會確保台灣收到這些疫苗，安全、有效、越快越好。這會幫助拯救生命，並且讓我們更緊密，一起把疫情終結掉。

因為終結這個疫情也表示國際社會必須一起合作，盡可能讓越多人手臂上注射一針疫苗。因為終結疫情意指著在每個地方都必須終結。而這也反映出台灣在美國最需要的時候，伸出援手，我們的感激之情。在疫情剛開始時，台灣來援，提供PPE與其他救援物資來幫助拯救美國人的性命。我謹代表美國人民，向您們致謝。這是另一個「民主國家彼此合作彼此幫助」的案例。

我特別想親自來這裡，因為我的家庭，多數人知道，我父親的家族，從美國獨立革命起，幾代以來，就為美軍服役，為自由與民主奮戰。但你們多數有所不知的是，我母親的家族，其實最早是從廣東潮州逃離的，為了追求自由，為了逃離共產主義。我的母親在1940初期的泰國出生。所以這對我特別重要，來亞洲支持另一個民主政權。我的家庭與我，知道自由的代價。我在這裡對您們說，美國不會讓你孤單。我們會在你們的身旁來確定台灣人民會得到他們需要的，以此克服疫情，走向未來。謝謝你們。

Landing speech 2021/6/6
(Taipei International Airport)

Tammy Duckworth, D-IL

Thank you. I’m so honored to be here today. And we are here to underscore the bipartisan support for Taiwan and the strength of our partnership. This pandemic has been a global challenge and too many of us have lost loved ones and have their livelihoods taken away. And for the past year and half, we’ve seen how covid-19 knows no borders. It spreads quickly and without hesitation. And it doesn’t care about race, religion, or political preferences. Even if some nations seek to use the response to covid-19 to coerce others. We are here as friends, because we know that Taiwan is experiencing a challenging time right now. Which is why it’s especially important for the three of us to be here in a bipartisan way. Friends come to each other’s aid. The Biden administration has announced its framework of showing at least 80 million vaccines, uh, US vaccine doses globally and the plan is for the first 25 million doses. After several weeks of conversations between each of the three of us, and the White House officials, I am please to say that Taiwan will receiving 750,000 doses of the vaccines as part of the first bunch of doses. It was critical for United States that Taiwan be included in the first group to receive vaccines because we recognize your urgent need and we value this partnership. We’ll be meeting Taiwan’s leadership this morning to better understand Taiwan’s needs and carry those messages back to Washington. I know in the days ahead that Biden Administration will work to make sure Taiwan receives its shipment in as safe and effective its vaccines as soon as possible. This helps save lives and brings us closer to ending this pandemic once and for all.

Because ending this pandemic means that all of us in international community must work together to get shot in the arms of as many people as possible because truly ending this pandemic means ending it everywhere. And it also reflects our gratitude to Taiwan’s support for the American people in our time of need. In the early days of the pandemic, Taiwan came to our aid, with supply of PPE and other donations that help to save American lives. And on behalf of American people, we want to thank you for that. This is yet another example of how democracies work together to help one another.

You know I especially wanna be here because my family, most of you may know, my father’s family has served in the American military going back to the revolution, fighting for freedom and democracy. But most of you don’t know that my mother’s family is actually from Chaochiu from Guangdong who walked out of China seeking freedom to escape communism. And my mother was born in Thailand in the early 1940s. So it’s especially important to me to be here to support another democracy in the region. My family and I know the price of freedom. And I am here to tell you, that the United States will not let you stand alone. We will be by your side to make sure the people of Taiwan have what they need to get to the other side of this pandemic and beyond, Thank you.

Lyrics:

If you’re ever running round in circles
每當你陷入一場徒勞無謂的掙扎
I will leave a light on till you’re home
我會始終留著盞燈等你歸家為止
Whenever it’s getting hard to breathe
每當承受之重令你難以喘息
Remember you’re not alone
請記住 你並不是一個人

Oh, I will promise you
我敢對你發誓
That you’re gonna be alright, be alright
你一定會安然無恙

Oh, I will guide you through
讓我來引領著你
Through the darkest times
走過這段最低潮的時刻

Don’t be afraid
不要膽怯
Just close your eyes
閉上雙眼
I am waiting on the other side
我在另一邊為你守候

Put your hand on my shoulder
將你的手搭放在我的肩上
I’ll be here till it’s over
我會在這裡陪你到底
We’ll find a way out of the maze tonight
今晚 我們就將找到離開迷宮的出路

We’ll find a way out of the maze tonight
今晚 我們就將找到離開迷宮的出路

Put your hand on my shoulder
伸出你的手搭在我的肩膀
I’ll be here till it’s over
我在這裡陪你等一切終結
We’ll find a way out of the maze
我們終將找到迷宮的出口

When it feels like rain just keep on pouring
當你感覺傾盆大雨一直下不停
I will help you wash away the blue
那麼我來幫你洗淨所有陰霾
If you need a shelter in the cold
若是你需要一間嚴寒之中的庇護所
Remember I’m here for you
請記得我是為你而來 因你而在

Don’t be afraid
別害怕
Just close your eyes
閉上你的眼睛
I am waiting on the other side
我在另一邊等著你回來

Put your hand on my shoulder
伸出你的手 搭在我的肩上
I’ll be here till it’s over
我會在這裡陪你等一切終結
We’ll find a way out of the maze tonight
今晚 我們就將找到離開迷宮的出路

Put your hand on my shoulder
伸出你的手 搭在我的肩上
I’ll be here till it’s over
我會在這裡陪你到底
We’ll find a way out of the maze
我們終將找到迷宮的出口
Don’t be afraid
別害怕
Just close your eyes
只要閉上雙眼
I am waiting on the other side
我在另一邊為你守候

Put your hand on my shoulder
把手搭在我的肩膀上
I’ll be here till it’s over
我在這裡陪你到底
We’ll find a way out of the maze tonight
今晚 我們就將找到離開迷宮的出路

A Little bit of Love
Music: 陶山 Skot Suyama, 宋星凱 Sean M. Sinclair
Lyrics: 陶山 Skot Suyama

I’ve been searching for someone like you
我一直在尋找一個像你一樣的人
I’m hoping you’re looking for somebody too
多麼希望我也是你在尋找的那個人
Because here I am, at your door
因為我在這裡，在你家門口
Trembling, in the cold
在寒冷中，發抖
Tell me what will you do?
等待著你的答案

You open, tell me, what do you see?
你開了門，告訴我 你看到的是什麼
The heart in my hands or the tears on my sleeve
是想要把心交給你的我，還是我止不住的淚
Cause I’m sorry, for everything
我對這一切感到抱歉
What will we, end up to be?
我們到底會有怎樣的結果
Tell me what will you do?
告訴我，你究竟會選擇什麼？

Do we have any little bit of love left inside?
我們之間是否還存在著一點點愛
Is there any place a bit of love left could hide?
是否在某個角落還隱藏著一點點愛
If I could find a little bit of love could we try?
若真的還剩一點點愛是否可以再試一次
Would you be the death of me?
還是你一樣會讓我心碎

Cause I remember every little time that we cried
我忘不了我們每一次哭的場景
All of the fighting and every pretty little lie
還有每一次的爭吵與謊言
If we go back to living life like those times
如果我們打算回到過去
Would you be the death of me or would we die happily?
你是否還會讓我心碎，還是我們會永遠的幸福快樂
