十首台灣詩X十位愛爾蘭詩人朗讀
　　
祝福　◎#孫維民
　
但願你的心神寧靜
如一小船──在夏天
下午已經過去，雲霞
因為夜色越來越美──
通過湖面，幾乎無聲。
通過畢剝的火把，流螢
字語曲折的航道
西班牙屋頂，台灣的草花
　
但願你的旅途平安
如一小船通過湖面。
縱使水中也有奇異的
生物，粗糙的石塊
難以理解，不可辯駁
的決定──黑暗的波浪
終會止息，星座仍然完整
仍然熠熠，湖底的寶藏

“A Blessing”
By Sun Wei-min (1959-)
Translated by Colin Bramwell and Wen-chi Li
Read by Stephen James Smith
　
I hope your mind is quiet
like a boat—it is summer
the afternoon has passed, but twilight is
more graceful when closer to night—
sailing through the lake, almost soundlessly
sailing through the crackling torch and the fireflies
the waterway is an interlacing of words
Spanish ceilings, Taiwanese flowers
　
I hope your journey will be as safe
as this boat, passing across the lake,
for even in the water
there are uncanny creatures, coarse stones
abstruse and irrefutable choices—
but know the dark waves will finally cease,
the constellations still intact, still glaring
the treasure is below the water yet

【#每日跟讀單元 590】美中貿易戰的贏家

摘要:
In fact, if one takes a trip to any industrial area, it will immediately become obvious that a large number of manufacturers have already switched production back to these shores, while others are busy expanding existing facilities or constructing new ones. This shows that the return of Taiwanese companies is not based upon some abstruse analysis of cold statistics: the phenomenon is taking shape before our very eyes.
事實上，只要到工業區走走就會發現，不少廠商早就轉單回台生產，有些廠商更忙著擴廠或建廠，台商回流並非「冷冰冰」的數字，而是正在發生的真實現象。

分享一個比較少見的字：abstruse

abstruse 是「難解的；深奧的」的意思。

比方：
Literature can be ambiguous and abstruse.
文學可以很曖昧而深奧難解。
