    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。

    州警局的最新動態
    Updates & Information

    今天，州警大人正式對華盛頓州州長提告。
    雖然深知這不過是以卵擊石之舉。
    但在面對野心勃勃的州長，無止盡濫用疫情緊急狀態的權力之時，
    有人必須站出來，放手一搏。
    值得慶幸的是，我們並非孤軍奮戰。

    /
    州警局人事部最新訊息：州長表示將不接受任何宗教豁免證明及醫療豁免證明。州長似乎鐵了心要開除不願被迫接受疫喵的州警及消防人員。

    州警局公會最新消息：州長辦公室正在討論：「不接種疫喵的員警被開除後，將不會獲得任何失業補助。」

    自從疫情蔓延以來，華盛頓州發放失業救濟金是毫不手軟。許多人領取的失業救濟金比他們能賺到的薪水還更多，人們因此不願重回工作崗位，導致各行各業極度缺工。

    執法機構更是面臨長期人手短缺的危機。在這種時刻，州長不僅威脅要開除不聽話的執法人員，居然還考慮剝奪被開除員警的失業救濟金！用如此蠻橫不講理的手段教訓不聽話的員警，根本就是濫權。

    更不用說，華盛頓州州警局的工會領袖是為州長工作的人員。這樣的工會真的會把基層州警的利益放在心上嗎？這也難怪工會宣稱正與州長辦公室進行的談判，遲遲沒有下聞。

    /
    我對疫喵的想法很簡單，在疫情如此嚴峻的情況下，政府的確應該致力於提高疫喵接種率，鼓勵大眾接種疫喵，並給予民眾自行抉擇的權利。只要疫喵並非百分之百安全，只要有一個人因為注射疫喵而死亡，政府就無權強迫其機構雇員接種疫喵。就算疫喵安全無虞，面對侵入體內的藥物，民眾必須擁有自行選擇的權力。

    /
    至於公共場所（餐廳、電影院、體育場館等）要求入內民眾出示疫喵證明，有幾點我覺得非常值得大家深思：

    第一，美國許多地區投票是不需要出示證件的，只要提供名字、年齡、住址，就可以投票。這樣的政策讓冒用別人名義去投票變成一件相當容易的事情。

    第二，許多地區的執法人員依法不能要求非法移民提供證件。當非法移民犯法被警方攔下，警方無權要求他們提供合法居留的證件，也不能通知移民局。

    第三，美國約有七十五萬記錄在案的性侵犯，有些州希望立法，讓性侵犯的證件加印 Sex Offender (性侵犯) 的註記。這項法案遭高等法院裁定違憲，因為註有性侵犯字樣的證件，會侵犯罪犯的隱私。

    克萊兒是無論如何也想不透，像選舉這麼神聖的大事，選民不需出示任何身份證明即可投票，但去餐廳用餐卻要提供疫喵護照？那以後要不要進一步規定，沒打疫喵也不能投票？

    /
    說穿了，民主黨以防疫之名，祭出一連串鐵腕政策，把對疫喵有所疑慮的民眾當成罪犯一般對待。然後面對真正的罪犯時，民主黨百般討好退讓，極盡所能維護他們的人權，放任罪犯滿街跑，甚至不惜發放獎勵金讓他們乖乖不要犯罪。如此標準實在令人匪夷所思。

    /
    之前有醫護人員表態：不打疫喵的人若染病，醫院應該拒收。這種邪惡的言論居然獲得許多人拍手叫好，說什麼不打疫喵的人就是不在乎自己的健康，死了活該。我相信，擁有這種心態的醫護人員是極少數的。不然，不久的將來，醫院將嚴格篩選有資格看病的病患：酗酒抽菸罹癌的病人不準看醫生；沒打流感疫苗卻得流感不幸重症的民眾，醫院一律拒收；沒有實施安全性行為而感染性病、愛滋的病患，通通不準去醫院。

    還有，這套標準是否可以沿用在警消人員身上呢？闖入你家的人沒打疫喵，警察不能逮捕他；車禍重傷被困在車裡奄奄一息，你沒打疫喵？抱歉不能救你。吸毒過量的遊民倒在路邊，他一定不在乎自己健康，警方用不著救人。公園裡散布一堆用過的針頭？抱歉，警方不能處理耶，誰知道針頭上有沒有病毒，會危害警消人員的安全。

    這幾個月來，我的心情正如愛因斯坦所言：有時候我很疑惑，究竟是我瘋了，還是其他人瘋了？

    《州警夫人FUN英文》
    But constant experience shows us that every man invested with power is apt to abuse it, and to carry his authority as far as it will go.
    每一個擁有權力的人都容易濫用權力，這是亙古不變的道理。有權力的人往往會使用權力，直到有界線的地方才停止。

    Here’s what @sylsylnoc and @ninatsf think about @endowus! How do you guys think they fared on their financial challenge?

    They have both invested in different portfolios with different risk selections that suit their needs, but it is still too early to tell the results! However, both their selected portfolios - ESG and Core - seem to have very interesting features!

    Let us know in the comments below which portfolio would you go for!
