翻轉視界 18 Changing Perspective

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。

【腳臭好尷尬】腳臭問題不分男女

⭐因為怕臭而不脫鞋
⭐惡性循環有機會變香港腳
#星期三CheckCheckMail

擺脫腳臭困擾
李小姐：「有天下雨，回到公司想把濕透的鞋子脫掉，竟發現自己有腳臭，害我一直不敢離開座位，我是否有香港腳？」

CheckCheckCin：腳臭不一定患有「香港腳」，「香港腳」是足癬，即真菌感染性皮膚病，腳會出現水泡、痕癢、脫皮、刺痛等症狀。腳臭情況很普遍，因腳部有大量汗腺，流汗之多不輸腋下位置，腳汗本沒有味道，但當遇上細菌與黴菌繁殖，令角質蛋白分解，就會形成酸臭味。從中醫角度來看，濕熱體質人士特別容易有腳臭問題，因其汗液比較黃且多帶有臭味，如問題嚴重可諮詢註冊中醫師治理。

擺脫腳臭：
1. 選擇透氣的鞋，穿著有助吸汗的全棉襪，亦不妨在公司多放一對襪以應付下雨天
2. 除鞋後，鞋內放入備長炭或除臭吸濕包
3. 每天回家後立即以肥皂徹底洗腳及泡腳，然後擦乾雙腳
4. 如整天待在家，一天內以肥皂洗腳3-4次，然後擦乾雙腳
5. 改善濕熱體質，適量食用清熱祛濕食物例如薏米、赤小豆、綠豆、苦瓜等
6. 保持雙腳乾爽， 避免細菌滋生

艾葉泡腳方
功效：驅寒、殺菌、袪濕，改善血液循環。
材料：艾葉1小把
做法：把艾葉撕碎後，放入泡腳盤，注入少量熱水讓艾葉泡開，再注入溫水至水溫約40度泡5-10分鐘即可。

Get rid of smelly feet
“It was raining cats and dogs, and when I went back to the office, removed my shoes, I realized I have smelly feet. I don’t even dare to leave my seat after that! Do I have Athlete's foot?”

CheckCheckCin: Having smelly feet does not mean you have Athlete's foot. Athlete's foot is a type of fungal infection that affects the feet, and symptoms include itchy feet, peeling on the feet, pain, and blisters. It is, however, quite common to have smelly feet because we have many sweat glands on our feet, as they sweat as much as our armpits.

Likewise, the sweat from our feet does not give out a bad odor. The odor actually comes from the bacteria and mold that multiply on our feet and break down the protein molecules of the skin.

From the perspective of Chinese Medicine, people with a damp heat body constitution are more prone to develop smelly feet. The yellow sweat stains they produce carry a bad odor. Individuals with more severe conditions should consult registered and licensed Chinese medicine practitioner.

How to get rid of smelly feet:
1. Wear shoes with good ventilation, 100% cotton socks; put a pair of spare socks in the office just in case your socks get wet in the rain.
2. Put charcoal bags or deodorizer into the shoes when you are not wearing them.
3. Wash and submerge your feet in soap water every day when you get home; remember to wipe them dry after that.
4. If you are home all day, wash your feet with soap 3-4 times each day; remember to dry them after that.
5. Improve the damp heat body constitution by eat ingredients such as barley, adzuki bean, mung bean, and bitter gourd, as they can clear heat and dispel dampness from the body.
6. Keep your feet dry and comfortable all the time, as it can prevent bacterial growth and moisture from accumulating around the feet.

Mugwort leaf foot bath
Effects: Dispels cold, disinfects and dispels dampness, improves blood circulation.
Ingredients: small bunch of mugwort leaf
Preparation: tear leaf into small pieces and place into basin. Add in small amount of hot water to let leaf open up. Then add in room temperature until water is at about 40 degrees. Soak for 5-10 minutes.

Daddy daddy look! It’s mommy, she replied me and sent me something, let’s read together and see what mommy says! ❤️❤️❤️

「來自天堂的訊息」📱

去年Andrew上小學後，因為有買了一支兒童智慧手錶讓我們方便彼此追蹤聯絡，山姆也同時幫Andrew申請了個人LINE的帳號，還開了一個屬於我們一家三口的LINE群組「Family」，只可惜這個「Family」群組只短暫用了幾天，就再也沒有新的訊息了。😞😞😞

在鋼鐵媽媽離開以後，Andrew有時會自己私訊給Mommy，或者甚至打LINE給mommy，一開始的時候還跑來問山姆說「why mommy didn’t answer me, why mommy even didn’t reply my messages?」😭😭，從那次之後，山姆就開始一人分飾兩角，用鋼鐵媽媽的手機回訊息給Andrew，或是傳一些照片，或甚至把以前存下來的舊語音對話檔傳給Andrew。

當Andrew第一次收到mommy來自「天堂的訊息」，興奮地說「daddy daddy, it’s mommy, it’s mommy, mommy sent me something from heaven!!!」，就這樣的，山姆每隔一段時間都會用鋼鐵媽媽的手機來跟Andrew進行「母子間的對話」。有時候Andrew還會嚷嚷說為什麼mommy訊息回地這麼慢，山姆只能跟Andrew解釋，因為天堂距離我們非常遙遠，而且天堂很高，那邊手機訊號不太好，但是mommy只好有收到你的訊息，一定會盡快回你的。😕😕😕

昨天，Andrew又問了山姆說「daddy…mommy didn’t read and reply my messages for quite a long time!!!」，這個時候山姆才瞬間意識到，自從學校停課在家以後，山姆就完全沒有再去用鋼鐵媽媽的手機跟Andrew對話了！🤦🏻‍♂️

「昨天晚上，趁Andrew睡著後，山姆趕快溜到隔壁書房把鋼鐵媽媽的手機拿出來，結果…沒電了…😓，把電源線接上充電後，然後看了一下Andrew這段時間傳給mommy的訊息，然後再一一地回覆。」

或許這陣子Andrew因疫情都待在家裡，時間拉長了思念也變多了，今天Andrew在讀mommy「回覆的訊息」的時候，已經是第三或第四次看到他掉眼淚了，可能當時iPad又湊巧同時播放著mommy幫Andrew舉辦五歲生日party所用的主題(https://youtu.be/0Z2q-OZ6WYw)，才讓Andrew又更想念mommy吧…🥺

時間過得真的很快，不知不覺地就來到六月了，也是鋼鐵媽媽與山姆的「光輝六月」，因為六月裡頭有著山姆的生日、鋼鐵媽媽的生日，還有著山姆跟鋼鐵媽媽的結婚紀念日，通通都在六月，但這三個以前非常重要的日子，如今在山姆的眼裡與心中只是變得更加沈重與難過。

#山姆知道日子還是得好好過下去
#鋼鐵媽媽最愛的六月以及準備開始的夏天
#今天Andrew睡前又說了他真的真的很想mommy
#Mommy總是陪他說話陪他玩一點都不無聊
#看來山姆得好好檢討自己

#LMLY #LeaveMeLovingYou #JacksonWang #王嘉爾 #YezeKee
MV GIRL: Yeze Kee
If this is goodbye
Don't leave me, loving you
Whatever you do
Don't leave me, loving you
If you tip toe out in the morning, I need a warning
If you don't feel it, too
But whatever you do
Don't leave me, loving you
If you're out of this when I'm all in, I need a warning
Don't leave me, loving you, babe
Whatever you do, babe
Don't leave me, loving you, babe

I am writing this to make the post longer and getting more keywords into the description like Jackson Wang GOT7.

The girl's name is Yeze Kee her lips WAY TOO thick, I don't understand why they like super thick lips.
White girl looks cute in this video because I am a VERY good camera man and director. That's why.
I actually learned about this LMLY @ The late late show by James Corden. The song is quite good.
It's not like I am a huge fan of Jackson but he's popular and I DO think he is cooler than Viu TV 姜濤 #姜濤

And I translated lyrics by Google English to Chinese to make the post even longer.
如果再見
不要離開我，愛你
不管你做什麼
不要離開我，愛你
如果你早上腳尖翹起來，我需要警告
如果您也感覺不到
但是不管你做什麼
不要離開我，愛你
如果我全神貫注於此，那麼我需要警告
寶貝，別離開我，愛你
不管你做什麼，寶貝
寶貝，別離開我，愛你

拍了很多早上vlog 來個早上以外的輕鬆日常vlog
這段時間身為香港人都好累
(說穿了早上Vlog咁慢就係依排訓得差 醒唔到?)
需要排解都可以留言/DM
說出口既煩惱就會慢慢消失(有傳?)
總之就爆炸就做任何離開煩惱相關既事
傾訴 寫日記 看書 畫畫 唱歌 跳舞 打機 學習 等等等等都係轉化負面好方法
(講就咁講 其實我私底下同朋友爆了10年份量既粗口先排解到?)
我打不死的老套金句：一切都是最好的安排?
共勉之！

I’ve done quite a number of morning vlogs, so this one is just a relaxed daily vlog. It has been exhausting period of time for HK people. If any of you need someone to talk to, feel free to comment below or leave me a DM. Please take a break if you feel overwhelmed, try talking to someone or do sth you enjoy.

Everything happens for a good cause?

Sunrise with you on my chest
No blinds in the place where I live
Daybreak open your eyes
'Cause this was only ever meant to be for one night
Still, we're changing our minds here
Be yours, be my dear
So close with you on my lips
Touch noses, feeling your breath
Push your heart and pull away, yeah
Be my summer in a winter day love
I can't see one thing wrong
Between the both of us
Be mine, be mine, yeah
Anytime, anytime

Ooh, you know I've been alone for quite a while
haven't I? I thought I knew it all
Found love but I was wrong
More times than enough
But since you came along
I'm thinking baby

You are bringing out a different kind of me
There's no safety net that's underneath, I'm free
Falling all in
You fell for men who weren't how they appeared, yeah
Trapped up on a tightrope now we're here, we're free
Falling all in you
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
想要和你低空飛行
和你到處收集氧氣
假如迷霧你看不清
不如墜入我的心裡
想帶你從吵鬧到安寧
想帶你從多雲到轉晴
想要為你整理襯衣
為你到處收集詩句
又過了每晚給你熱牛奶的時間
床頭還寫著我們沒看完的影片
離開後的時間裡你是否還失眠
從不熬夜的我也明顯黑了眼圈
你送的玩偶依然陪在身邊
記憶出現浮現從開始到終點 又重演

我想和你 一起闖進森林潛入海底
我想和你 一起看日出到日落天氣
我想和你穿過格林威治和時間飛行
我想見你 穿過教堂和人海擁抱你
我想和你
我想和你
