你上次讀英文詩是什麼時候呢？
學英文卻不讀英文詩，是很可惜的事

許多同學一聽到「詩」
第一印象就是晦澀難懂，因而敬而遠之
但其實在英文詩的世界裡
平易近人的作品並不少

著名詩人如艾蜜莉・狄金森（Emily Dickinson）
或葉慈（W. B. Yeats）的多數作品
使用的單字都不會太難

推薦給 #想讀英詩學英文 的朋友
在閱讀英文詩的過程中
我們可以特別注意三個重點：
1. 字詞的挑選和運用
2. 字義和音律的結合（sound and sense）
3. 摹寫技巧和畫面感的建立

今天想和大家分享
「美國自由詩之父」惠特曼
（Walt Whitman）的一首詩

惠特曼早年家貧
念完小學即輟學打工貼補家用
對社會現實及人情冷暖觀察入微
他的寫實段落真摯、文字精準而自然

以下是我非常喜歡的作品
A Glimpse（驚鴻一瞥）
和我的中文翻譯：

/

A glimpse through an interstice caught,
我穿過隙縫驚鴻一瞥

Of a crowd of workmen and drivers in a bar-room around the stove late of a winter night, and I unremark’d seated in a corner,
瞥見工人車伕攢聚酒吧小間
圍著爐火在暮冬夜裡
我坐在角落一言不發

Of a youth who loves me and whom I love, silently approaching and seating himself near, that he may hold me by the hand,
瞥見那傾慕我我也傾慕的少年
默默走近，在我身畔坐了下來
也許他會牽起我的手

A long while amid the noises of coming and going, of drinking and oath and smutty jest,
許久，在人來人往的鼎沸
酒杯鏗鏘的嬉鬧和誑言中

There we two, content, happy in being together, speaking little, perhaps not a word.
我倆因著彼此而歡欣
忘了隻字片語

/

整首詩從穿過隙縫的一個眼神展開
從無到有建構出酒吧裡的人群、聲音、影像

你是否能透過輕巧自然的文字
感受到酒吧的嘈雜聲中
一種心照不宣的浪漫呢？

早安，你今天 Q 了嗎？
一起來認識台灣美食的獨特口感

🇹🇼 In Italy, ‘Al Dente’ Is Prized. In Taiwan, It’s All About Food That’s ‘Q.’
台灣美食為什麼那麼「Q」？

🍭 NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan — As dusk falls at Lehua Night Market, the fluorescent lights flicker on and the hungry customers start trickling in, anxious for a taste of the local delicacies that give this island its reputation as one of Asia’s finest culinary capitals. Neatly arranged pyramids of plump fish balls. Bowls brimming with tapioca balls bathed in lightly sweetened syrup. Sizzling oyster omelets, hot off the griddle. Deep-fried sweet potato puffs, still dripping with oil.
台灣新北市——隨著夜幕降臨樂華夜市，燈光亮起，飢腸轆轆的客人們三三兩兩來到這裡，急於品嚐讓這個島嶼享有亞洲最佳美食之城的當地美食。整齊排成小山的飽滿魚丸。一碗碗涼圓，淋著略帶甜味的糖漿。剛從鐵板上下來，滋滋作響的蚵仔煎。還滴著熱油的炸地瓜球。

-fluorescent: 發出螢光的
-trickle in: 三三兩兩地抵達
-reputation: 名聲
-culinary: 烹飪的
-griddle: 鐵板、煎鍋
-deep-fried: 油炸的

🍡 Take a bite of any of these dishes and you’ll discover a unique texture. But how exactly do you describe that perfectly calibrated “mouth feel” so sought after by local cooks and eaters alike?
Slippery? Chewy? Globby? Not exactly the most flattering adjectives in the culinary world.
Luckily, the Taiwanese have a word for this texture. Well, actually, it’s not a word, it’s a letter — one that even non-Chinese speakers can pronounce.
It’s “Q.”

隨便嘗一口這些小吃，你都會發現它們別具風味。但你該如何形容那種經過精心調配，令當地廚師和食客們趨之若鶩的「口感」呢？
滑溜？有嚼勁？黏稠？這些可算不上是美食界最好聽的形容。
幸運的是，台灣人有一個詞來形容這種口感。其實，這稱不上是個詞語，而是一個字母——就連不講中文的人也能說出它。
那就是「Q」。

-texture: 口感、質地、韻味
-calibrate: 校準、調整、調配
-be sought after: 趨之若鶩
-chewy: 有嚼勁的

🥤 “It’s difficult to explain what Q means exactly,” said Liu Yen-ling, a manager at Chun Shui Tang, a popular teahouse chain that claims to have invented tapioca milk tea in Taiwan. “Basically it means springy, soft, elastic.”
Q texture is to Taiwanese what umami is to Japanese and al dente is to Italians — that is, cherished and essential. Around Taiwan, the letter Q can often be glimpsed amid a jumble of Chinese characters on shop signs and food packages and in convenience stores and advertisements.

「很難解釋Q到底是什麼意思，」人氣連鎖茶飲品牌、號稱台灣珍珠奶茶發明者的春水堂的經理劉葉玲說。「基本上，它是彈牙、軟糯的意思。」
「Q」的口感之於台灣人，就等於「umami」（鮮）之於日本人，「al dente」（有嚼勁）之於義大利人——備受珍視，也必不可少。在台灣各地，可以在店鋪招牌和便利店、廣告的食物包裝中的一堆中文字裡瞥見「Q」這個字母。

-tapioca milk tea: 珍珠奶茶
-springy: 有彈性的、彈牙的
-umami: 鮮味
-al dente: 彈牙、有嚼勁
-glimpse: 瞥見

你知道用「Q」形容食物是台灣獨創嗎？

【#拜登就職演說全文】★中英版本★
資料來源：美國白宮新聞稿
This is America’s day. This is democracy’s day.

A day of history and hope. Of renewal and resolve.

Through a crucible for the ages America has been tested anew and America has risen to the challenge.

Today, we celebrate the triumph not of a candidate, but of a cause, the cause of democracy.

The will of the people has been heard and the will of the people has been heeded.

We have learned again that democracy is precious.

Democracy is fragile.

And at this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed.

So now, on this hallowed ground where just days ago violence sought to shake this Capitol’s very foundation, we come together as one nation, under God, indivisible, to carry out the peaceful transfer of power as we have for more than two centuries.

We look ahead in our uniquely American way – restless, bold, optimistic – and set our sights on the nation we know we can be and we must be.

I thank my predecessors of both parties for their presence here.

I thank them from the bottom of my heart.

You know the resilience of our Constitution and the strength of our nation.

As does President Carter, who I spoke to last night but who cannot be with us today, but whom we salute for his lifetime of service.

I have just taken the sacred oath each of these patriots took — an oath first sworn by George Washington.

But the American story depends not on any one of us, not on some of us, but on all of us.

On “We the People” who seek a more perfect Union.

This is a great nation and we are a good people.

Over the centuries through storm and strife, in peace and in war, we have come so far. But we still have far to go.

We will press forward with speed and urgency, for we have much to do in this winter of peril and possibility.

Much to repair.

Much to restore.

Much to heal.

Much to build.

And much to gain.

Few periods in our nation’s history have been more challenging or difficult than the one we’re in now.

A once-in-a-century virus silently stalks the country.

It’s taken as many lives in one year as America lost in all of World War II.

Millions of jobs have been lost.

Hundreds of thousands of businesses closed.

A cry for racial justice some 400 years in the making moves us. The dream of justice for all will be deferred no longer.

A cry for survival comes from the planet itself. A cry that can’t be any more desperate or any more clear.

And now, a rise in political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat.

To overcome these challenges – to restore the soul and to secure the future of America – requires more than words.

It requires that most elusive of things in a democracy:

Unity.

Unity.

In another January in Washington, on New Year’s Day 1863, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

When he put pen to paper, the President said, “If my name ever goes down into history it will be for this act and my whole soul is in it.”

My whole soul is in it.

Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this:

Bringing America together.

Uniting our people.

And uniting our nation.

I ask every American to join me in this cause.

Uniting to fight the common foes we face:

Anger, resentment, hatred.

Extremism, lawlessness, violence.

Disease, joblessness, hopelessness.

With unity we can do great things. Important things.

We can right wrongs.

We can put people to work in good jobs.

We can teach our children in safe schools.

We can overcome this deadly virus.

We can reward work, rebuild the middle class, and make health care
secure for all.

We can deliver racial justice.

We can make America, once again, the leading force for good in the world.

I know speaking of unity can sound to some like a foolish fantasy.

I know the forces that divide us are deep and they are real.

But I also know they are not new.

Our history has been a constant struggle between the American ideal that we are all created equal and the harsh, ugly reality that racism, nativism, fear, and demonization have long torn us apart.

The battle is perennial.

Victory is never assured.

Through the Civil War, the Great Depression, World War, 9/11, through struggle, sacrifice, and setbacks, our “better angels” have always prevailed.

In each of these moments, enough of us came together to carry all of us forward.

And, we can do so now.

History, faith, and reason show the way, the way of unity.

We can see each other not as adversaries but as neighbors.

We can treat each other with dignity and respect.

We can join forces, stop the shouting, and lower the temperature.

For without unity, there is no peace, only bitterness and fury.

No progress, only exhausting outrage.

No nation, only a state of chaos.

This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge, and unity is the path forward.

And, we must meet this moment as the United States of America.

If we do that, I guarantee you, we will not fail.

We have never, ever, ever failed in America when we have acted together.

And so today, at this time and in this place, let us start afresh.

All of us.

Let us listen to one another.

Hear one another.
See one another.

Show respect to one another.

Politics need not be a raging fire destroying everything in its path.

Every disagreement doesn’t have to be a cause for total war.

And, we must reject a culture in which facts themselves are manipulated and even manufactured.

My fellow Americans, we have to be different than this.

America has to be better than this.

And, I believe America is better than this.

Just look around.

Here we stand, in the shadow of a Capitol dome that was completed amid the Civil War, when the Union itself hung in the balance.

Yet we endured and we prevailed.

Here we stand looking out to the great Mall where Dr. King spoke of his dream.

Here we stand, where 108 years ago at another inaugural, thousands of protestors tried to block brave women from marching for the right to vote.

Today, we mark the swearing-in of the first woman in American history elected to national office – Vice President Kamala Harris.

Don’t tell me things can’t change.

Here we stand across the Potomac from Arlington National Cemetery, where heroes who gave the last full measure of devotion rest in eternal peace.

And here we stand, just days after a riotous mob thought they could use violence to silence the will of the people, to stop the work of our democracy, and to drive us from this sacred ground.

That did not happen.

It will never happen.

Not today.

Not tomorrow.

Not ever.

To all those who supported our campaign I am humbled by the faith you have placed in us.

To all those who did not support us, let me say this: Hear me out as we move forward. Take a measure of me and my heart.

And if you still disagree, so be it.

That’s democracy. That’s America. The right to dissent peaceably, within the guardrails of our Republic, is perhaps our nation’s greatest strength.

Yet hear me clearly: Disagreement must not lead to disunion.

And I pledge this to you: I will be a President for all Americans.

I will fight as hard for those who did not support me as for those who did.

Many centuries ago, Saint Augustine, a saint of my church, wrote that a people was a multitude defined by the common objects of their love.

What are the common objects we love that define us as Americans?

I think I know.

Opportunity.

Security.

Liberty.

Dignity.

Respect.

Honor.

And, yes, the truth.

Recent weeks and months have taught us a painful lesson.

There is truth and there are lies.

Lies told for power and for profit.

And each of us has a duty and responsibility, as citizens, as Americans, and especially as leaders – leaders who have pledged to honor our Constitution and protect our nation — to defend the truth and to defeat the lies.

I understand that many Americans view the future with some fear and trepidation.

I understand they worry about their jobs, about taking care of their families, about what comes next.

I get it.

But the answer is not to turn inward, to retreat into competing factions, distrusting those who don’t look like you do, or worship the way you do, or don’t get their news from the same sources you do.

We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal.

We can do this if we open our souls instead of hardening our hearts.

If we show a little tolerance and humility.

If we’re willing to stand in the other person’s shoes just for a moment.
Because here is the thing about life: There is no accounting for what fate will deal you.

There are some days when we need a hand.

There are other days when we’re called on to lend one.

That is how we must be with one another.

And, if we are this way, our country will be stronger, more prosperous, more ready for the future.

My fellow Americans, in the work ahead of us, we will need each other.

We will need all our strength to persevere through this dark winter.

We are entering what may well be the toughest and deadliest period of the virus.

We must set aside the politics and finally face this pandemic as one nation.

I promise you this: as the Bible says weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning.

We will get through this, together

The world is watching today.

So here is my message to those beyond our borders: America has been tested and we have come out stronger for it.

We will repair our alliances and engage with the world once again.

Not to meet yesterday’s challenges, but today’s and tomorrow’s.

We will lead not merely by the example of our power but by the power of our example.

We will be a strong and trusted partner for peace, progress, and security.

We have been through so much in this nation.

And, in my first act as President, I would like to ask you to join me in a moment of silent prayer to remember all those we lost this past year to the pandemic.

To those 400,000 fellow Americans – mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters, friends, neighbors, and co-workers.

We will honor them by becoming the people and nation we know we can and should be.

Let us say a silent prayer for those who lost their lives, for those they left behind, and for our country.

Amen.

This is a time of testing.

We face an attack on democracy and on truth.

A raging virus.

Growing inequity.

The sting of systemic racism.

A climate in crisis.

America’s role in the world.

Any one of these would be enough to challenge us in profound ways.

But the fact is we face them all at once, presenting this nation with the gravest of responsibilities.

Now we must step up.

All of us.

It is a time for boldness, for there is so much to do.

And, this is certain.

We will be judged, you and I, for how we resolve the cascading crises of our era.

Will we rise to the occasion?

Will we master this rare and difficult hour?

Will we meet our obligations and pass along a new and better world for our children?

I believe we must and I believe we will.

And when we do, we will write the next chapter in the American story.

It’s a story that might sound something like a song that means a lot to me.

It’s called “American Anthem” and there is one verse stands out for me:

“The work and prayers
of centuries have brought us to this day
What shall be our legacy?
What will our children say?…
Let me know in my heart
When my days are through
America
America
I gave my best to you.”

Let us add our own work and prayers to the unfolding story of our nation.

If we do this then when our days are through our children and our children’s children will say of us they gave their best.

They did their duty.

They healed a broken land.
My fellow Americans, I close today where I began, with a sacred oath.

Before God and all of you I give you my word.

I will always level with you.

I will defend the Constitution.

I will defend our democracy.

I will defend America.

I will give my all in your service thinking not of power, but of possibilities.

Not of personal interest, but of the public good.

And together, we shall write an American story of hope, not fear.

Of unity, not division.

Of light, not darkness.

An American story of decency and dignity.

Of love and of healing.

Of greatness and of goodness.

May this be the story that guides us.

The story that inspires us.

The story that tells ages yet to come that we answered the call of history.

We met the moment.

That democracy and hope, truth and justice, did not die on our watch but thrived.

That our America secured liberty at home and stood once again as a beacon to the world.

That is what we owe our forebearers, one another, and generations to follow.

So, with purpose and resolve we turn to the tasks of our time.

Sustained by faith.

Driven by conviction.

And, devoted to one another and to this country we love with all our hearts.

May God bless America and may God protect our troops.

Thank you, America.

這是美國的一天，這是民主的一天，是歷史和希望的一天，是更新與決心的一天。美國幾個世代經過熔爐的考驗之後，如今再次遭到試煉，而且已再次奮起應付挑戰。今天，我們慶祝的不是一位候選人的勝利，而是一個奮鬥目標的勝利，是為民主的奮鬥。人民的意志被聽見了，人民的意志得到了關注。

我們再次學到，民主是珍貴的，民主是脆弱的，而在此刻，朋友們，民主已然勝利。短短幾天之前，還有暴力試圖撼動國會的根基，但今天我們齊聚這個莊嚴的所在，以一個在上帝之下不可分裂的國家，展開權力的和平轉移，一如我國200多年的傳統。

我們要用美國特有的方式，也就是不停歇、勇敢、樂觀的方式展望未來。放眼我們可以成為、也必須成為的國家。我謝謝今天蒞臨的兩黨前任總統，我衷心感謝，你們知道我國憲法的韌性，以及我們國家的力量。卡特總統（Jimmy Carter）也是，我昨晚與他通了電話，但他不克前來。我們為他畢生的奉獻向他致敬。

我剛才跟這幾位愛國者一樣鄭重宣誓，一篇最初由華盛頓宣讀的誓詞。然而，美國故事靠的不是我們任何一個人，或一部分人，而是我們全體。它靠的是「我們人民」，在尋求一個更好的合眾國的人民。這是個偉大的國家，我們是一群良善的人。

經歷過去幾個世紀的風雨和衝突、和平與戰爭，我們走過很長一段路，但前方還有很長一段路要走。我們將快速緊急前行，因為在這個危險與機會的冬天，我們有很多事要做。有很多需要修補、需要恢復、需要癒合。有許多需要建設，也可以有很多收穫。

在我國歷史上，很少人或很少時刻面臨著比我們目前更大的挑戰或困難。百年一見、無聲無息蔓延整個國家的病毒，在一年之內奪走的人命，跟美國在第二次世界大戰犧牲的總人數一樣多。數百萬工作機會流失，成千上萬企業關門。

400年來的種族正義的呼聲感動著我們，全民同享公義的夢想將不再拖後。地球生存的呼聲再急迫不過，也再清楚不過。如今政治極端主義、白人至上主義和本土恐怖主義的興起，讓我們有必要起來面對並將它們擊倒。

克服這些挑戰、恢復美國靈魂和鞏固未來需要的不只是話語，而是民主當中最難以捉摸的部分，那就是團結一心，團結一心。

另一個一月天，在1863年開年之時，林肯總統簽署解放奴隸宣言。讓我引述他在下筆時所說的話：「如果我留名青史，將會是因為這份宣言，以及我投注其中的全心全意。」

今天，同樣在一月裡，我全心全意投注於此：團結全體國人，團結整個國家。我請求所有美國人加入，和我一起努力，團結對抗我們共同的敵人：怨氣、不滿、仇恨、極端主義、目無法紀的行為、暴力、疾病、失業和無助。

團結一心，我們能夠成就偉大事業、重要的事情。我們可以糾正錯誤，可以讓民眾找到好的工作，可以在安全的校園教導孩子，可以克服這個致命的病毒。我們可以讓工作獲得報酬，重建中產階級，可以提供全民健保，可以兌現種族正義，讓美國再次成為世界主要的良善力量。

我明白，這個時候談論團結聽起來像愚昧的天方夜譚，我知道分裂我們的力量又深又真切，但我也知道這些力量不是現在才出現。美國向來在人人平等這個理想，和國家長期被種族主義、本土主義、恐懼和妖魔化分化的醜陋現實之間掙扎。這個征戰從未止息，勝利並無保證。

從南北戰爭、大蕭條、世界大戰到911恐攻，儘管歷經奮鬥、犧牲和挫折，良善的天使向來都會勝利。每當遇到這種時刻，我們都會有足夠的人團結一心，讓全國一起向前，我們現在也可以這麼做。

歷史、信仰和理性指向一條明路，一條團結之路。我們可以不把彼此當成敵人，而是鄰居。我們可以尊嚴和尊重彼此相待，可以同心協力，停止叫囂，讓溫度冷卻。因為沒有團結就沒有和平，只會留下苦毒與憤怒；不會有進步，只會有讓人厭倦的離譜言行；不會有國家，只會有混亂狀態。

這是我們危機和挑戰的歷史性一刻，而團結是前進的道路，我們必須以合眾國的姿態來面對這一刻，若能做到，我向諸位保證我們不會失敗。當我們團結起來，我們從來就不曾失敗，因此在這一天，在此時此刻，就在這裡，讓我們重新來過，全體一起來。讓我們開始再次彼此聆聽，讓對方說，相互探望，對彼表達尊重。

政治不必像這一團熊熊之火，燒毀一切，歧見不必成為全面戰爭的理由。我們必須摒棄操弄甚至捏造事實的文化，同胞們，我們不能這樣，美國必須不只是這個樣子，而且我相信美國不至淪落至此。

看看四周，我們站在國會大廈圓頂之下，這是南北戰爭時期完成的，當時美國的前途還在未定之天，但我們挺過來了，我們勝利了。我們現在站在此，看著偉大的國家廣場，金恩博士（Martin Luther King Jr.）曾對廣場上的群眾訴說他的夢想。也是在這裡，108年前的另一場就職典禮，數以千計的抗議人士試圖阻撓一群勇敢的婦女遊行爭取投票權。

今天我們見證副總統賀錦麗創造美國歷史，成為第一位擔任國家領導人的女性，別告訴我事情無法改變。

我們站在這裡，隔著波多馬克河（Potomac River）遠眺阿靈頓國家公墓（Arlington National Cemetery），也就是為國捐軀的英雄長眠之地。我們站在這裡，不過幾天前，暴動的群眾以為他們可用暴力箝制民眾的意志，阻撓民主運作，把我們驅逐出這塊聖地。但事情未如他們所願，今天不會，明天也不會，永遠都不會。

每位支持我們參選的民眾，我因你們給予我們的信心感到謙卑。對於沒有支持我們的人，讓我對你們說：未來請聽我說的話，評量我和我的心。如果你們還是不同意，也罷。這就是民主。這就是美國。以平和的方式在我們國家的規範之內表達異議的權利，可能是我國最大的優勢。

但請聽清楚：不同意見絕對不能變成不團結。而且我向各位保證，我要當全體國人的總統。不論你支持我或不支持我，我都將同樣為你們而努力。

好幾個世紀之前，我所屬教會的聖者聖奧古斯丁（Saint Augustine）曾經寫道，人民是個群體，由他們共同喜愛的東西所定義。身為美國人，我們共同喜愛而且能定義我們的東西是什麼？我想我們都知道：機會、安定、自由、尊嚴、尊重、榮譽，是的，還有真相。

最近的幾個星期、幾個月給了我們痛苦的教訓：有真相，也有謊言，為了權力和利益而說的謊言。我們每個人做為公民，做為美國人，特別是身為領導者的人，曾經承諾要遵守憲法、保護我們的國家的領導者，有職責、有責任要捍衛真相、打敗謊言。

我瞭解有許多同胞以害怕、惶恐的心情看待未來。我瞭解他們擔心工作問題。我瞭解他們像我父親那樣，夜裡躺在床上盯著天花板，想著得要有醫療保險、有貸款要付、想著他們的家庭，想著接下來會如何。我跟各位保證，我瞭解。但答案不是退縮，不是進入到彼此競爭的派系，不信任看起來跟你不一樣的人，跟你有不同信仰的人，或者新聞來源不同於你的人。

我們必須結束這場「無禮的戰爭」，它讓紅藍對立、鄉村與都市的民眾對立、保守派與自由派對立。我們可以做到，如果我們敞開心胸，而不是讓我們的心變硬，如果我們展現一些包容和謙虛，如果我們願意為別人設想，就像我母親說的：只要一下子就好，為別人設想。

因為人生就是這樣，你無法預知命運。有些時候，你會需要別人伸出援手，還有些時候，人家會請你伸出援手。就是要這樣，這就是我們為彼此做的事。如果我們這麼做，我們的國家就會更強大、更繁榮，更能為未來做好準備，而且我們還是可以有不同意見。

同胞們，我們在推動未來的工作時，會需要彼此。我們要集舉國之力，才能度過這個黑暗的冬天。我們可能在進入疫情最嚴重、最致命的階段。我們必須把政治擺在一邊，要終於能夠舉國對抗這個大流行，用舉國之力。我向各位保證，就如聖經所說：「一宿雖有哭泣，早晨便必歡呼。」我們將可一起度過，一起！

各位，我跟我在參眾兩院的同事們都瞭解，世人正在觀看，他們今天在看著我們，因此這是我要對國外傳達的訊息：美國受到試煉，而我們因此更為茁壯。我們將修補我們與盟國的關係，再次與世界往來，不是為了面對昨天的挑戰，而是今天和明天的挑戰。我們將不是藉著我們力量的典範來領導，而是憑藉我們典範的力量。我們將會是和平、進步與安定堅強而且可信賴的夥伴。

各位都知道，我們國家經歷了許多事情。我做為總統要做的第一件事，是要請你們跟我一起，為過去一年因疫情喪生的人們默禱，紀念那40萬個同胞，母親、父親、丈夫、妻子、兒子、女兒、朋友、鄰居和同事們。我們要成為我們自知可以成為、而且應該成為的人民和國家，以此榮耀他們。因此我請大家，一起為離世和失去親友的人們，還有我們的國家默禱，……阿們。

各位，這是試煉的時刻。我們面對對民主與真相的攻擊、正在肆虐的病毒、嚴重的不公、系統性的種族歧視、陷入危機的氣候，還有美國在全球的角色問題。其中任何一點都足以對我們構成嚴重的挑戰。但事實是，我們在同時面對這一切，這讓美國挑起我們最重大的責任之一。我們將受到試煉，我們能迎接挑戰嗎？這是大膽的時候，因為有好多事情要做。

而我向各位保證，這點是肯定的：你我將被評判，標準是我們如何解決這個時代一一發生的危機。我們將迎接挑戰。我們能否戰勝這個罕見而艱難的時刻？我們能否履行我們的義務，把一個新的、更好的世界傳給我們的下一代？我相信我們必須那麼做，而且我相信你們也這麼認為。我相信我們會，而且當我們做到，我們將寫下美國歷史偉大的新章節。美國的故事。

這個故事可能像一首對我來說深具意義的歌曲，它叫「美國頌」（American Anthem），它有一段歌詞至少對我來說很特別，它是這樣說的：「數百年的努力與祈禱讓我們來到今天，我們有什麼能傳承下去？我們的子孫會怎麼說？當我的日子結束，讓我內心知曉，美國，美國，我已為你付出最大努力。」

讓我們把我們自己的努力和祈禱，加到我們偉大的國家仍在發展的故事之中。如果我們做到，那麼當我們的日子結束，我們的子孫和他們的子孫會說：「他們付出了最大的努力，他們盡了他們的責任，他們修補了破碎的國家。」

同胞們，我的結語要跟開頭一樣，有個神聖的誓言。在上帝和各位面前，我向你們保證。我將始終開誠布公，我將捍衛憲法，我將捍衛我們的民主。我將捍衛美國，全心全力奉獻為你們服務，心中想的不是權力，而是可能性，不是私利，而是公眾的利益。我們將一起寫下美國希望的故事，而非恐懼的故事，是團結而非分歧，是光明而非黑暗。是禮貌與尊嚴、愛與療癒、偉大與善良的故事。

希望這是引導我們的故事、啟發我們的故事，是能告訴未來的世世代代我們回應歷史的召喚並且回應了時代挑戰的故事。民主與希望、真相與公義沒有在我們的時代衰亡，而是生生不息，美國固守了國內的自由，並且再次成為世界的明燈。這是我們對先人、對彼此和對未來世世代代的責任。

因此，我們要有目標、有決心，把注意力轉向這個時代的任務，靠信心來維持，靠信念來驅使，為彼此和我們全心熱愛的國家而奉獻。願上帝保佑美國，保守我們的三軍。謝謝美國！

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
幻に怯えている
誰かの声飛び散る今
置き去りの衝動がほら
寂しそうに枯れていく

私は今日誰になって　君の中で壊れていく？
届けば届くほどに

虚しさに気づかされた
幻の残酷さを

ありふれた奇跡　その儚さが
裸の私の意味を締め付ける

私は今日誰になって　君の中で溺れていく？
届けば届くほどに

広がる視界に心は狭くなって
広がる世界を不安が満たした
広がる視界に心は居なくて
怯えた私の声は今も聞こえていますか

私を見て　幻じゃなくて
私を見て　奇跡じゃなくて
曝け出しても　裸じゃなくて
生み出しても　産み出しても
私じゃなくて怖いよ

羽ばたけるかな

中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
畏怯幻影的形跡
某人的聲音，如今正飛散消逝
你瞧，種種背棄在後的衝動
那份，孤寂落寞、乾涸枯萎的慘狀

「今日我又將以何等姿態，於你心頭潰爛？」
越是接近你，越於你心中逐漸分崩離析

如今才因種種空虛憶起
空有的幻想，是多麼殘酷無情

誰都能夢見隨處可見的奇蹟，多麼華而不實
賦予身無一物的我名為「生存意義」的枷鎖

「今日我又將以何等姿態，於你的心中沉淪呢？」
越是接近你，越是陷溺其中

放遠的視野中，卻伴著狹隘閉鎖的內心
廣闊的世界中，卻堆砌滿溢著焦慮不安
開闊的眼界中，惟不見一絲情感殘留
你是否仍能聽見，我那膽怯顫抖的聲音呢？

請你看著我吧，證明我既非幻影
請你看著我吧，證明我亦非奇蹟
即使曝光所有一切，也並非一無所有
但即使降生於世、歷經無數次重生——
「卻都無法成為我自己啊，我好害怕......」

這樣的我，終能展翅翱翔嗎？

英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
I’m fearing an illusion. At this moment, someone’s voice flies about.
My abandoned urges, you see… wither away so lonesomely.

Who will I become today… in order to break apart inside you?
The further and further I reach-

The futility of it all made me realize the cruelty of that illusion.

The fickle nature of common miracles
Constricts the meaning of my naked form.

Who will I become today… in order to drown inside you?
The further and further I reach-

Amid an expanding view, my mind grows narrow-
Amid an expanding world, my uneasiness came to fruition.
Amid an expanding view, my mind is nowhere to be found-
Can you still hear my frightened voice, even now?

Look at me, not that illusion.
Look at me, not those miracles.
Even if I’m exposed, I won’t be naked.
Even if I recreate myself… recreate myself…
I won’t be me; I’m so afraid.

I wonder if I can still flap these wings…

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
誰か海を撒いてはくれないか
ぼくの頭上に　沈んでゆく魚と太陽を　浴びたいのだ

あざやかな未知　躓いて消える魔法
プレパラート越しに見える　ひび割れた空

廃墟の屋上に
辿り着く綿毛の　囁きをかこむ　ぼくらはうた

灰色の地上に　飾られたひかりの
轟きを纏う　ぼくらは花束

毟られた翼を

ことば　ふきかえす息もなく
艶やかに散る

海鳥　満ち引きの真ん中に
嘘つきの星　またたき　導いては突き放し
船を漕ぐ

真夜中の海
残響の潮風と　燃えさかる世界に　頬をうずめ

ひしめく声たちの
うずまきのただなか　手をつなぎ針の雨をくぐるの

暮れてく絶景に
おちてく逆さまの　陽炎とあそび　時間と踊るの

廃墟の屋上に
辿り着く綿毛の　囁きをかこむ　ぼくらはうた

灰色の地上に　飾られたひかりの
轟きを纏う　ぼくらは花束

廃墟の屋上に
囁きをかこむ　ぼくらはうた

灰色の地上に
ひかりの轟きを纏う花束

廃墟の屋上に

誰か海を撒いてはくれないか
ぼくらの天井に

中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
有誰，能為我在這撒下一座大海呢？
我想要在頭頂上，沐浴那些漸漸沉沒的魚群與太陽啊

鮮豔奪人的未解之物，如同魔法一樣在摔跤後遺失
在顯微鏡的標本裡，或許就能看見那片龜裂的天空——

於廢墟的頂樓
漂流巡岸的如棉絮般的海潮在細語，而我們所擁抱的是一首詩

於被海水洗去了顏色的大地裝飾無數的雷光
而駐足在那份雷響中的你我，都是祈禱的花束──

在那樣的海底，重新展開失去羽毛的羽翼

無暇呼吸回話
與艷麗紛飛的──

與艷麗紛飛的海鳥，在潮汐的正中央飄泊
那裡有著撒謊的星斗閃爍，引領半途卻又在潮水中放手失蹤
我們就這樣在海上，滑著船槳前進

置身午夜的海
將臉孔深埋在充斥海風餘韻與被雷光點亮的世界裡

於人群喧鬧的漩渦中心
我們牽著彼此的手潛入那場豪雨的針紮

面對這即將完結的美景
與倒轉墜落的海市蜃樓嬉戲，舞至生命時間的盡頭

廢墟的屋頂
抵達岸邊的棉浪在細語，我們擁抱著一首祈禱

在這片失去顏色的大地上裝飾雷光
而身懷這些雷鳴的你我，全是祈禱的漂流花束

在被大海淹沒的屋頂
身懷那些耳語的我們是一份祈禱

於那被昏暗大海淹沒的大地
有著裝飾有閃光與雷鳴的花束

就在那些廢墟的頂端——

有誰，能夠為我撒下一座大海嗎？
就在，我們的這片天空上

英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
I wish someone would sprinkle sea
Upon my head.
I want to bathe with the fish and sun
That are sinking down upon me.

A brilliant unknown:
Magic that disappears each time we trip.
The sky cracked,
As if seen through a through a specimen plate.

We reach the top of an abandoned building.
Surrounded by the whispers
Of dandelion fluff,
We’re a song.

The ash-colored ground
Is decorated with light.
Wrapped in the roaring sound,
We’re a bouquet.

With these plucked wings…

Words,
Are blown backward, no breath to contend,
Elegantly fading away.

While amid the sea birds
And the pull of the tide
A devious star flashes.
Leading us on, then casting us away,
As we paddle our boat.

Upon the midnight sea
It’s the reverberations of the sea breeze
And this blazing world
That we bury our cheeks in.

Dead center,
In a whirlpool of creaking voices,
We join hands and navigate through needle-like rain.

As this grand view darkens,
We play with the haze of heat
That’s falling head first into the ground,
And dance with time.

We reach the top of an abandoned building.
Surrounded by the whispers
Of dandelion fluff,
We’re a song.

The ash-colored ground
Is decorated with light.
Wrapped in the roaring sound,
We’re a bouquet.

I wish someone would sprinkle sea,
Upon our ceiling…

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
星屑の中　羽ばたいた　あの白い鳥の様に
何もかもを投げ出して　飛べたなら　変わるのかな?
どこにも行けずに　まだここにいる

ただ　会いたい
浮かぶ言葉はいつも弱くて　変わらず胸を焦がすよ
ねえ　もし願いが叶うなら
夜空も越えて会いに行くよ

暗闇の中　輝いて　咲き誇る花の様に
何もかもが愛しくて　いつまでも探している
どこかで会えたら　また微笑んで

ただ　会いたい
君の笑顔は今も　遠くで変わらず夜を照らすよ
ねえ　もし願いが叶うなら
迷わず君に会いに行くよ

思い出の公園や　懐かしい教室も
今でもあの日と同じままかな?
寂しげな街灯と　最後に見た駅のホーム
溢れ出す景色に手を伸ばす

会いたい…
浮かぶ言葉はいつも弱くて　変わらず胸を焦がすよ
会いたい…
君の笑顔は今も　遠くで変わらず夜を照らすよ
ねえ　もし翼があるのなら
迷わず君に会いに
夜空も越えて会いに行くよ

中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
若是，能夠如同在群星裡振翅而飛的那隻白鳥一樣
將一切都拋在身後僅是展翅高飛的話，是否能夠有所改變呢？
然而，我卻仍然無處可去，仍然，停留在這裡

僅是想要見到你
欲言又止的話語總是懦弱而無從改變，一如往常的翻攪著自己的胸口
如果說、如果說這樣的願望也能夠被實現的話
那麼我將穿越這片夜空，前去見你
像是於黑暗中閃耀光芒、綻放著自我的花朵一樣
一切都看起來如此愛戀，而我仍然在不斷的尋找
若是相遇在某個天涯海角的話，請一定要再次展露你的笑容給我

僅是，想要見到你
你的笑容至今，都在遙遠的天空裡照耀著夜晚
如果說、如果說這樣的願望也能夠被實現的話
我將會毫不猶豫的，前去見你

回憶裡的公園或是懷念的教室
現在是否也維持著和那天相同的景色？
有些孤單的路燈與最後映入眼簾的車站大廳
我忍不住將手伸往那不斷閃爍的回憶

好想見你……
然而脫口的話語卻總是懦弱而無能為力，總是攪亂著自己的心
好想見你……
如今你的笑容仍在遙遠的天邊照耀著我身處的夜晚
如果說、如果說我能夠擁有翅膀的話
我就會毫不猶豫的張開羽翼——
穿越這片夜空，前去見你

英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
If, like that white bird, flapping its wings amid the stardust,
I could throw everything away and just fly… would something change for me?

Unable to go anywhere, I’m still here…

I just want to see you;
The words that float up are always weak, never ceasing to pain my heart…
But you know, if my wish were to be granted, I’d go beyond even the night sky to see you!

Like a flower in full bloom, shining amid the darkness,
Everything about you is so precious to me – I’m constantly searching.

So if we meet somewhere along the way, please smile for me again…

I just want to see you;
Your smile, even now, still illuminates the darkness from far away…
But you know, if my wish were to be granted, I would go to see you, never losing my way!

That park from our memories… Our familiar old classroom…
I wonder if they’re still the same as they were that day.
A lonely little street light… The home platform where I saw you last –
I stretch my hand out to the overflowing scenery!

I want to see you…
The words that float up are always weak, never ceasing to pain my heart…
I want to see you…
Your smile, even now, still illuminates the darkness from far away…
But you know, if I had wings, I would go to see you, never losing my way…

… I’d go beyond even the night sky!
