匿名法官接受訪問

//“[Tong] didn’t do much of anything—he didn’t commit murder or arson,” the judge said wryly. “He is the most benevolent terrorist in the world.”//
（佢既無殺人，亦無縱火，無做啲咩嘢，（如果係恐怖份子嘅話），佢應該係世上最善良嘅恐怖份子。）

至於刑事案件响高等法院無陪審團之下審訊，呢位法官覺得，如果政府咁安排嘅目的要保護陪審的話，「總有其他方法比徹底破壞整個制度好」。

//If the government wanted to protect jurors, the judge said, “There must be some other way apart from abolishing the whole system.”//

關於專家證人政治解釋口號嘅用處，匿名法官認為專家證嘅作用係幫助法庭理解法律以外嘅事，但解釋政治口號嘅話就未必有效用（"flawed tool"），呢啲正正就需要陪審團以普通人嘅「常識」去理解（“common-sense approach”），相反，法官通常會用法律角度去思考。

對於香港司法制度嘅未來，法官覺得可能越黎越接近新加坡，即係「商業法係可以嘅，但當牽涉刑事或人權就大有問題。」

“We might become more like Singapore. The business law is fine, but there’s a big problem in criminal law and human rights.”

最後，佢就用心臟病做比喻，

“It’s a sign of danger. If it continues to develop, it will lead to cardiac arrest. But is it fair to say a person is worthless just because of a heart condition? No, the body is still there to compensate.”

「（有心臟病）係危險嘅徵兆，如果繼續發展落去，終會心臟停頓。但，係咪可以話有心臟病就等如廢呢？未必嘅，因為身體其他部份未死，仍然可以支持住。）

【課表設計的科學與藝術】

分享《The System: Soviet Periodization Adapted for the American Strength Coach》書中的一段話，用簡潔直白的話語，把課表設計中的「科學」與「藝術」說得很清楚了，下面附上原文和我的譯文：

在整個(設計課表的)過程中，你的心理要明白力量教練所做的是一種結合科學與藝術的工作。科學要求的是認識事務運作的原理。如果你知道訓練背後的原理，就會知道如何進步。

如果你選擇使用這份課表，但卻不知道為什麼這樣練會有效，那只是運氣好。當你想著「太棒了，我的運動員一直進步！」此時你要捫心自問「接下來我要怎麼做？」如果你不知道之前是怎麼進步的，也不知道這樣的課表為什麼會有用，那你也不會知道怎麼調整課表才能讓運動員繼續進步下去。這就是「科學」的重要性。

至於訓練的「藝術」是指一些需要考慮不同現實情況的問題，以蹲舉這個動作為例，「我們都知道蹲舉很重要，所以蹲舉要練。」但現在問題是，「我們應該先練前蹲舉、背蹲舉還是分腿蹲？該從多少重量開始蹲？每組蹲幾下？蹲幾組？該怎麼教好這個動作？」

這些問題很少有清楚、明確的答案，你的思考過程必須考慮到許多因數。這就是訓練的藝術性。如果你問五十個教練這些問題，你可能會得到五十種不同的答案，而且並非所有的答案都適合你當前的情況。

在力量與體能訓練的領域，藝術性方面的問題是教練們最需要花時間和精力去培養與完善的。要分辨一位普通教練和菁英教練的差別，就是看他是否在訓練的科學與藝術素養之間取得平衡。

#原文如下
Throughout the process, is important to keep in mind that what we do as strength coaches is a combination of science and art. The science demands that we know why something works. That is imperative for the selection process, and if you know how something works, you will know how to progress it.

If you do not know why something works and you choose to use it, maybe you get lucky... and maybe you do not. When you think, “This is great! My athletes are getting better,” you need to ask yourself, “Where do I go from here?” If you do not know why something is working, you will not know how to progress or adapt it for continued gains. That is the importance of the science.
The art of coaching is saying to yourself, “We need to squat; we know that is important.” The question now is, “Should we front squat, back squat, or split-squat? What weight should we start with? How many sets and reps? How can I best teach this movement?”

These questions rarely come with clear, definitive answers, and your path will have to take into account the variables. This is the art of coaching. If you asked these questions of 50 coaches, you might get 50 different answers, and not all of them would be in your best interest to follow.

In the field of strength and conditioning, this is the aspect that takes the most time and commitment to develop and refine. Ultimately, cultivating balance between the art and science of coaching is what separates the elite from the average.

「#有些國家會質疑美國會不會來救援台灣。#這就是那個時刻...#我們要把話講很清楚，#我們就是打算這麼做。」

轉述 #張之豪 議員翻譯
美國參議員昆斯（Chris Coons, D-DE）
2021/6/6 9:30 訪台記者會
（聽打、翻譯，基隆市議員 張之豪）

感謝你們如此歡迎我們。我很榮幸加入兩位優秀的參議員，達克沃絲、蘇利文都曾在我國的軍隊服役，他們的人生故事中，在亞太區域的承諾與參與，對我與許多人來說，很有啟發意義。

我在參議院的外交委員會，也在該委員會旗下的撥款委員會擔任主席，就是負責撥款給拜登政府把疫苗配發給全球夥伴的計畫。幾週前我們就在討論我們對全球與疫情還在如何危害全球健康的關切。我們也要求拜登政府與我們合作，跨黨派，跨參議院與眾議院的大連線，來對全球需要的國家提供關鍵的疫苗。

正如你聽到蘇利文參議員所說，美國與台灣的關係既長久且深遠，並且正因為疫情爆發初期，台灣致贈了1000萬的口罩給我們，這讓美台關係，更為有目標、動人、並真實。畢竟當時我們還在擔心找口罩時，有些國家還在利用他們手上有的PPE等資源，來為自己謀取政治利益。

此刻，我們宣佈，在拜登政府與美國國會要提供相當關鍵的8000萬劑疫苗給全世界時，這是首批。因為台灣被世界衛生聯盟（按。應為口誤）阻擋在外不能加入，並且在尋購有效的疫苗的過程中，被四處樹立路障。我們認為現在尤其重要，我們肯定拜登政府的倡議並且有國會兩院跨黨派的支持，把這些在前任政府督導下研發出的有效、安全的疫苗，分享給我們全球的夥伴。

並且，我們也希望台灣民眾清楚知道，有些國家會質疑美國會不會來救援台灣。這就是那個時刻，我們認為這非常迫切也非常重要，外交部長先生，我們要把話講很清楚，我們就是打算這麼做。

我的選區是一個小州，德拉威爾。我前任的議員，就是現任的美國總統。42年前，他對台灣關係法投下了贊成票。在來台灣的飛機上，我們一行人有人正在讀一本書，有關台灣關係法的歷史，並且與我們大家簡述分享。丹（蘇利文參議員）永遠都是那個學者型的（笑）。而被提醒這件事是很重要的：這不是一段新關係，這不是一個新夥伴關係。我上次來，我正陪同我們AIT的酈英傑處長，參加AIT一座新中心的成立，美麗、先進的建築的落成開幕典禮。

明天，當我們一行人回到美國參議院時，我們將會參與一個重要的法案表決。由外交委員會提案的，戰略競爭法，包括，再一次，清楚講述美台關係的規定。當法案提到參議院大會時，我身旁兩位在美國商務、科學和交通委員會的參議員，也將形塑與推動生效。未來當然會有更多立法上的修改，但我非常有信心，我們下週將在這個法案上會有跨黨派的表決，將通過美國創新與競爭力法。這個法案特別認可美台關係的戰略重要性，投資科技創新的急迫性，並作出像我們今天宣佈這批疫苗的提供此事一樣，把夥伴更緊密編織在一起。開放社會、全球的民主國家、認可創新與科技、保護發明、那些把科學的成果拿來幫助世界渡過疫情難關，並且不附帶任何條件，而是自由地提供出我們的社會可以研發出的成果。

謝謝。

你好，thank you so much for welcoming us. It is such an honor, for me to join with these two tremendous senators. Senator Duckworth and Senator Sullivan, who have served our nation in our nation’s military, whose personal stories of commitment and engagement in this region of the world are inspiring to me and many others. I serve on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and I chaired the appropriation sub committee in the Senate that is funding vaccine distribution to the world in partnership with the Biden Administration. As we were discussing, weeks ago, our concerns about the world and about this pandemic as as it continues to be a threat to health around the world. We were urging the Biden Administration to work with us, a bipartisan group across the Senate and the House, to announce significant donations of vaccines to the nations in need.

As you’ve just heard from Senator Sullivan, it is a long and deep relationship between the United States and Taiwan that was made purposeful and poignant and real for us in the difficult early days of this pandemic by a gift of contribution of 10 million masks that, at the moment when Americans, we were worried where they could find masks and where some other countries use that access to PPE, to their political benefit.

In this moment, we are announcing, the first of what is going to be a significant effort by the Biden Administration and the United States Congress to provide up to 80 million doses to many countries around the world and because Taiwan has been prevented from joining the world health alliance has had roadblocks put up towards its access to save effective vaccines we thought its of particular importance to celebrate the Biden Administration’s initiative and the support of congress that is bipartisan. In taking these effective and safe vaccines developed under the previous administration of the United States and with partnership around the world. And make certain that the people of Taiwan know, there are some countries that question whether the United States will come to the aid of our friends in Taiwan. This is the moment we thought was urgent and important for us, Mr. Foreign Minister, to make it clear, that we intend to do so.

I represent the small state of Delaware, my predecessor is now the President of the United States. 42 years ago, He voted for the Taiwan Relations Act, as we were traveling, members of our company was reading a book about the history of the Taiwan Relations Act and sharing with us about it. Dan is ever the scholar. And it was helpful to be reminded, this is not a new relationship, this is not a new partnership, I was last here with AIT director Christensen when we were opening a beautiful new state of the art facility center, for United States engagement here with Taiwan.

As we return tomorrow to the United States Senate, we will be taking votes this coming week, to pass this significant piece of legislation. Coming out of the Foreign Relations committee, it was known as the Strategic Competition Act, it includes the provision to make clear, again, the strength of the US-Taiwan relationship. As it moves through the full Senate with the support of these two senators who are on the Commerce Committee, as it is being shaped and finally hopefully enacted. There is always changes of legislations to come, but I am very hopeful, that we will take a strong bipartisan vote in the coming week, and pass the US Innovation and Competitiveness Act. It specifically recognizes the strategic importance of US-Taiwan relationship, the urgency of investing in innovation, and taking steps such as we take today, the announcement of this vaccine contribution, to more tightly weave together, the open societies, the democracies of the world, those that value innovation and science, those that protect inventions, and those that want to use the fruits of that science to help the world move past this terrible pandemic, not by adding strings to it, but by giving freely of what both of our societies have been able to develop, thank you.

THANK YOU to everyone who sent in mom photos! This year I wanted to do something special for Mother's Day. Because my own mom lives in Hong Kong and I (formely) in LA, I rarely had the opportunity to visit her. This video captures the travels and flight from my first visit to see my Mom in over two years.

謝謝你的照片！因為我媽媽住巷港還有我以前住洛杉磯所以我很少有機會回家。我回香港的時候我已經兩年多沒看媽媽。我最近搬到台灣來，隨時就可以去看她：）。祝天下的媽媽母親天節快樂！

Making this video was especially important to me as I've recently relocated to Taiwan to develop my music career. It's an exciting new chapter and I'm also happy that I'll be so close to my mom and the rest of my family. Thank you to everyone who shared a piece of their family with mine. Happy Mother's Day, everyone.

Special Thanks to:

Geh for production
Cynth for additional videography
