Reinventing Workers for the Post-COVID Economy

The nation’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic will hinge ( ) to some extent ( ) on how quickly show managers can become electricians ( ), whether taxi drivers can become plumbers ( ), and how many cooks can manage software for a bank.

This is likely to prove especially problematic for millions of low-paid workers in service industries like retailing ( ), hospitality ( ), building maintenance and transportation, which may be permanently impaired ( ) or fundamentally transformed. What will janitors ( ) do if fewer people work in offices? What will waiters do if the urban restaurant ecosystem never recovers its density ( )?

Their prognosis ( ) is bleak ( ). Marcela Escobari, an economist at the Brookings Institution, warns that even if the economy adds jobs as the coronavirus risk fades ( ), “the rebound won’t help the people that have been hurt the most.”

Looking back over 16 years of data, Escobari finds that workers in the occupations ( ) most heavily hit since the spring will have a difficult time reinventing themselves. Taxi drivers, dancers and front-desk clerks have poor track records moving to jobs as, say, registered nurses, pipe layers or instrumentation technicians.

COVID is abruptly ( ) taking out a swath ( ) of jobs that were thought to be comparatively ( ) resilient ( ), in services that require personal contact with customers. And the jolt ( ) has landed squarely on workers with little or no education beyond high school, toiling ( ) in the low-wage service economy.

“The damage to the economy and particularly to workers will probably be longer lasting than we think it is going to be,” said Peter Beard, senior vice president at the Greater Houston Partnership, an economic development group.

What’s more, he said, COVID will intensify underlying ( ) dynamics ( ) that were already transforming ( ) the workplace. Automation ( ), for one, will most likely accelerate ( ) as employers seek to protect their businesses from future pandemics

The challenge is not insurmountable ( ). Yet despite scattered ( ) success stories, moving millions of workers into new occupations remains an enormous ( ) challenge.

“We need a New Deal ( ) for skills,” said Amit Sevak, president of Revature, a company that hires workers, trains them to use digital tools and helps place them in jobs. “President Roosevelt deployed ( ) the massive number of workers unemployed in the Great Depression on projects that created many of the dams ( ) and roads and bridges we have. We need something like that.”

勞工轉型以因應後疫情時代經濟

美國經濟能否從新型冠狀病毒影響下復甦，將在一定程度上取決於表演經理們要多久才能變成電工，計程車司機能否化身為水管工，以及有多少廚師能替銀行管理軟體。

這對零售業、餐旅業、建築維修和運輸業等服務業數百萬低薪工人來說，問題恐怕特別大。這些行業可能受到永久性損害或發生根本性改變。若辦公室裡人變少了，工友要做什麼呢？若都市餐廳生態系統繁盛不再，服務生又該如何？

他們的前景是黯淡的。布魯金斯學會經濟學家Marcela Escobari警告說，即使就業機會隨新型冠狀病毒疫情風險消退而增加，「經濟反彈也幫不了那些受創最重的人」。

Escobari檢視16年來的數據發現，今春以來受衝擊最大的一些職業，勞工將很難自我改造。計程車司機、舞者和櫃檯人員轉行從事護理師、舖管工或儀器技工等工作者十分有限。

新型冠狀病毒突然帶走了一大批原本被認為較不容易永久消失的工作，即需與客戶面對面接觸的服務工作。這一衝擊直接打擊到那些僅受過高中教育、在低薪服務經濟區塊中掙扎的勞工。

經濟發展組織大休士頓商會資深副總裁Peter Beard表示：「經濟、尤其是勞工們受害的時間，可能比我們預期的還要更長。」

他說，更重要的是，新型冠狀病毒疫情將強化已經在改變職場的潛在動力，自動化即為一例，由於雇主力求讓自己的企業未來不受大疫情影響，自動化極可能加速。

這項挑戰並非不能克服。然而，儘管有少數成功的例子，讓數百萬勞工轉業仍是巨大的挑戰。

雇用勞工後培訓他們使用數位工具，並幫他們找到工作的Revature公司總裁Amit Sevak說：「我們需要一項針對職業技能的新政。小羅斯福總統大蕭條時期把大量失業勞工投入工程計畫，興建了我們現在使用的水壩、道路與橋樑。我們需要這樣的東西。」

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。

「微解封」的英文怎麼說？

最近有蠻多同學寫信來詢問這個問題。

📌 首先，這是ＣＤＣ對「微解封」的聲明：

網傳「三級警戒微解封的不可思議之處」指揮中心：原同住家人就不受限制，謠言邏輯誤導且比喻失當，請勿輕信轉傳，造成防疫困擾。

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
迷いの森にあるほんとう　探しに行く月のひかり
羊歯を踏んで足を濡らして　ひたりほとり夏の小道

よく笑って泣いて見つめあって　おそるおそる恋に堕ちた
ふたり歩き出した違う方へ　呼び合う声だけもどかしく
find me in the wonderland

そろそろ手を汚して　自分の欲しいものを　追いかけてみる
みつあみをほどいて　同じ星を齧る　ふたりになる

寂しがって夜になって　まだ明るい夢のほとり
食べかけで残した心だって　ここから始まるうたになる

世界は君のものさ、どこへ行こうか、貴方は笑う
踏み外してみようか、後ろめたさが私を誘う
find me in the wonderland

どうしたって　生まれ変わるほどの　強い意志が必要だわ
慎重ないのちだった　私だけじゃ道は見つからない

星を数え繋ぎ合わせ　まだ知らない夏の星座
見つめあって泣いて朝になって　ここから始まる物語

もう一人じゃないのよ、夢のようでしょ、私は歌う
寂しさはひるがえり旗の元へと二人は集う
何も思い通りにならないことが始まったから
踏み外してみようか、目隠し鬼の手の鳴る方へ
in your wonderland

あなたが迷う場所に　あかりを灯すために
花束一つ抱いて　りりしく笑いましょう

もう一人じゃないのよ、とても怖いね、幸せなんて
寂しさはひるがえり旗の元へと二人は集う
世界は君のものさ、手が届いてあなたがいて
踏み外してみようか、愛するひとが私を誘う
find me in the wonderland
in your wonderland

綺麗な吐息になって
あなたの歌をうたって

中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
皎潔的月光為我照亮此行、於迷幻之森捕獵真心
踩踏著草蕨、潤濕了雙足，行於令人陶醉的夏日小徑岸邊

曾互相歡笑、哭泣、注視彼此，才使得我們惶恐地墜入愛戀
卻漸漸步入相異路途，竟連呼喊之聲都令人無比焦躁
請步入仙境尋覓迷失的我吧

雙手漸漸開始沾染污穢，試著放縱自身索求慾望
解開扎起的髮辮，成為共食星斗的戀人，相濡以沫

寂寞的心、鋪張的夜色，仍遊走於璀璨的夢的畔邊
早已被啃咬殘缺的心，將自此幻化為歌謠

「你已擁有了全世界，我們要去哪呢？」你莞爾而笑
「要不試著背離正道呢？」罪惡感正如此略誘著我
請步入仙境尋覓孤單的我吧

尚須一份不論如何都欲潰爛重生的強烈意志
曾嚴謹拘束的生命，卻僅自身無法尋見方向

細數繁星、相相連繫，嘗試探尋尚不知悉的夏季星座
彼此相視而泣直至天明，兩人的故事自此展開

「我已不再孤身一人，就彷彿夢一般對吧？」我唱著
寂寥的心隨風飄揚，使彼此相遇於同面旗下
乃因不如己意才使得兩人的生命交織展開
不妨背離正道、作個矇眼鬼循向掌鳴之處
步向有你所處的仙境

僅為了在你迷失之地，綻亮一絲光芒
我將為此獻上花束，兩人一同凜然而笑吧

「我已不再孤身一人，但這份幸福仍會讓人感到恐懼吧？」
寂寥的心隨風飄揚，使彼此相遇於同面旗下
「你已擁有了全世界。」向著觸手可及的你說著
「要不試著背離正道呢？」心愛之人如此略誘著我
請步入仙境尋覓重生的我吧
在那僅有兩人的仙境

化作絢麗的吐息
唱著屬於你的歌謠

英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
Within a forest of delusion, I search for truth
The light of the moon illuminating my hunt
I step over ferns, my feet becoming wet
The water puddling on the edge of a summer path

Having shared laughter, tears, and gazes between us
Warily, cautiously, I fell in love
Along the separate paths the two of us walked
Is vexingly, only the sound of our voices calling to each other
Find me in the wonderland

Before long, my hands grow dirty
As I chase after that which my self desirеs
My braid becoming undone
We bitе down into the same star, and become a pair

A lonesome, solitary night arrives
The shore of dreams still brightly lit
A heart is left half-eaten and tossed aside
From here forth begins a transformation into song

This world is your plaything, and wherever I go
You are there, laughing
Should I try and step off the path, the unease shall beckon to me
Find me in the wonderland

Even if I must be reborn anew
I cannot go on without a strong, unshakeable will
My life has been a cautious, prudent one
And thus, only I am unable to find a path

Counting the stars, connecting them together
Into an as-yet-unknown summer constellation
Gazing at each other, I cry, and morning comes
From here forth begins a story

I'm no longer on my own, aren't I? Isn't this like a dream? I sing
Desolation flutters in the wind, and we meet at the base of its flag
Since nothing is beginning to go as I had expected
I shall try and step off the path, to the source of the hunter's clap
In your wonderland

For the sake of kindling a light in the place you wander, lost
You held a bouquet in your arms, chivalrously, let's have a laugh

I'm no longer on my own
It is incredibly frightening, about happiness
Desolation flutters in the wind, and we meet at the base of its flag
This world belongs to you, I reach out my hand and you are there
As I step off of the path, my beloved beckons to me
Find me in the wonderland
In your wonderland

Becoming a beautiful breath
Singing a song about you

JJ Lin 林俊傑 《倖存者· 如你》維度二 首張全英文EP《Like You Do》
OUT NOW 全面數位發行 https://jjlin.lnk.to/LYDAY

Have you imagined a world where
You’re more than just You?
What would that be like?

Drifter • Like You do - a Double-dimensional, deluxe EP creatively led by JJ Lin, from music productions to visual concepts. The music narrative of DRIFTER • LIKE YOU DO is inspired by a concept JJ has been ruminating on - the possibility of a parallel universe.

In this latest release which marks JJ’s 14th album, as well as his first english EP throughout his illustrious career of 18 years, JJ delves into his innermost thoughts and feelings, redefining his music perspectives to put forward a stripped down and introspective representation of his music and self.

In Quantum Theory
Space and time are not continuous
A parallel universe is a possibility
Could it be possible that somewhere, somehow
In an obscure corner of the universe
An infinite number of us exist?
Where perhaps, I could be you, and you could be me?

I seem to be a Drifter in this vast expanse... Like You Do.

-

[DRIFTER • LIKE YOU DO ]

Part One: The 1st Dimension - DRIFTER

Music has always been an expression of self for JJ. His journey of self-discovery could be traced back to his From M.E. To Myself (2015) album, with him eventually finding the connection between himself and the world, and shared through his Message in a Bottle (2017) album.

In the recent years, JJ embarked on a different route to self-discovery as he shifts the focus of his music from self to “you”. Conveyed through his double EP DRIFTER • LIKE YOU DO, JJ propounds a new direction for self-reflection.

DRIFTER EP features six brand new Mandarin songs that weaved together a complete concept of: What would you do, if you, were not just you? The songs inspire us to contemplate the possibility that our consciousness could determine who we are - there could be multiple endings to every story, and when we believe so, the future will be limitless.

Part Two: The 2nd Dimension - LIKE YOU DO

An extension of Drifter, LIKE YOU DO explores a self-examining concept: What is left after you rid yourself of expectations?

When darkness descends, have you, in pursuit of survival, stumbled upon another version of yourself that is so foreign yet familiar? You could be that drifter, that is the only glimpse of hope left in a despondent world. Which version of you would emerge in face of adversity? If a parallel universe does exist, JJ is breaking out of his shell and introducing the hidden version of himself that we have yet to meet via LIKE YOU DO.

Partnered with new music collaborators Fernando Garibay, Nasri Atweh, Joshua Kissiah Cumbee, Ramiro Padilla and Daniel Padilla, JJ endeavours to offer fresh perspectives and sounds for this EP.

The journey and story of this alternate JJ Lin has just begun.

—

“All these years, one thing I’ve learnt is that it’s one of the hardest things in life to accept the flawed version of ourselves. We work so hard to be the best and to be perfect; many times we want to believe that we are unstoppable, and that only by being strong, we can be successful.

“Like You Do” to me is the opposite of that.

Every song is a reflection of the darker version of myself. And I’ve found a sense of healing, by reaching in and realising that true strength is found in embracing every version of the self. It’s only when you strip yourself of all expectations, that your every next step will be a form of gain and reward.

There is beauty in that.”

— JJ Lin

＿＿＿

近年來我深深體悟到一件事：接受有缺憾的自我，是一生中最難的事情之一。
對於任何事務，我們努力做到最好、盡可能達到完美；很多時候，我們試著去相信自己是無懈可擊的，因為唯有堅強，才能成功。

然而，【Like You Do】對我而言正是相反的。
每首歌，都反映出自己的內心深處某個曾不可觸及的一面。過程中，通過自我剖白來學習擁抱自己的不完美，並找到真正的力量。而從中，我被療癒了。
當你擺脫所有期望時，每一步都將轉化為獲得和回報。
那正是最美的。

- JJ 林俊傑

【Like You Do】中的JJ Lin是一鍵歸零，
也是一步躍進。 跳脫既定模板，拋開過往的該與不該。

在【Like You Do】EP中，JJ Lin回到做音樂的本質面貌說故事，當這個語言更加直覺，遇見的自己就越加真實。捧著初衷的純粹，JJ成為昏暗夜晚中的一雙堅定眼神，穿透情感與歲月的虛與實。一刻明亮的獲得，是歷經所有的願與不願，坦然面對這些擁有與失去，於是回歸誠實後的純粹，如這世界上的每一個你，重新擁抱世界附加在自己身上的能量。

為帶給這張全英文EP更完整的體驗，JJ遠赴異地，尋找更多不同的聲音，當沒有任何模板框架，跳脫以往的創作模式，他的音樂更加自我也更加自由。JJ邀請多次獲得葛萊美獎項提名之專輯製作人- Fernando Garibay、Joshua Kissiah Cumbee、Ramiro Padilla、Daniel Padilla等多位專業音樂人攜手創作。與全新的音樂夥伴合作，無論曲、詞，JJ自在地享受，完全地吸收來自不同的音樂人所給予的能量，共同激盪出不同以往的音樂風格。一切不經設定、沒有設限也沒有包袱，放下習慣的唱腔，衝撞出全新的聲音。所有面貌都是最原始最嶄新，也是翻面後的第一頁。

歸零的同時，就會遇見真實的自己。

這個挑戰，是JJ 17年來從未有過的經驗，在華語市場中多年的累積，逐漸締造屬於最JJ的音樂版圖。但這一次，林俊傑顛覆一切的認知、放下一切的理所當然與成長脈絡，為了自我實現的這一刻，成為了歸零的JJ Lin，勇敢擁抱陌生的環境與不同的音樂文化，JJ已經不是JJ，但也不再只是原本的JJ。

JJ 林俊傑《倖存者 • 如你》雙EP
? https://jjlin.lnk.to/JJDrifterLikeYouDO

As I traverse this Wonderland
I wonder what the other side beholds?
Am I awake in my sleep
Or asleep in my consciousness?

If I’m gonna lose everything when I wake
I’d rather stay asleep and hold you while I can
And lock this moment in our tight embrace

Everything turned to nought when I awakened
Yet, this void catalysed a reset
As I slowly got buried in the quicksand
My expiration and regeneration had happened in parallel realms

穿越了這片Wonderland
那一端
是睜著眼沈睡
還是閉著眼清晰

假如 睜開眼就將失去
也要在所能之際 緊閉著眼 緊抱你 緊抱住這一刻擁有

這一刻 睜開眼 宛如煙消雲散
但歸零的同時 又出發了
當流沙不斷飛逝 都將注入另一部分的自己
逐漸消逝的同時 正在啟動重生的能量
＿

《While I Can》在【倖存者．如你】專輯中，是一座任意橋樑。
【倖存者 Drifter】EP中，完全體現出 JJ林俊傑 耕耘累積了17年的能量。然而，透過《While I Can》踏出華語音樂市場，以《Wonderland》的編曲為基底，延續音樂色調，但跨越多年來的舒適圈，與美國當地製作團隊合作，並填上浪漫但淒美的英文歌詞，打造成一首全新的歌。

《Wonderland》之於《While I Can》，就像雙EP的JJ一樣
當從Wonderland衝出窗外的那一端
是夢，是現實
JJ林俊傑 又將如何
故事才正要開始
＿

This MV brings me through a psychedelic journey of self-realization
Where I tear down my walls and strip myself bare in discovery of who I really am

Traversing the depths of consciousness
I’m gripped by inexplicability

As I examine the blurred lines of dream VS reality, alternating different universes, what versions of me await?

While I Can, I hold tight to what I love
While I Can, I relinquish all I have to the universe

Shredding away my ego, burdens and excess baggage, I come to nought
Yet, no longer enslaved, I am reborn.

透過 MV 進入 JJ 的潛意識旅程，
層層地剝開自我，不斷追尋著心中最純粹的自己。
通往意識狀態的入口，是突如其來、超越理解的瞬間。
當踏出現實進入不同的意識階段，又將會遇見怎樣的自己，
那是一望無際，亦或是夢中仙境。
每一次與內心的自我接觸，都將轉換時空，脫離意識，
所能之際擁抱，所能之際奉獻擁有的一切與這宇宙交換，
於是內心自我不斷消散、釋懷而放手的重生。
