科學研究也許是孤獨的，但對世界的貢獻是真實的！

最近火紅的兩個新冠肺炎疫苗，再度印證科學的歷程，往往是一個科學家在人群的角落，孤獨的奮戰，但只要是正確的方向，聲音在小，總有一天，全世界的人，都在傾聽。

美籍的這位匈牙利科學家，Katalin Karikó，ＲＮＡ信使的發明人，她的奮鬥故事，不屈不撓的精神，真是非常令人敬佩。這種奮戰精神，值得我們學習。科學的研究，就是沒辦法只看ＫＰＩ，那是一種孤獨的嘗試又嘗試，過程中，只能不斷的相信自己，相信自己的專業。希望國內正在實驗室裡為各種研究苦苦拼戰的研究夥伴們共勉，大家堅持，信賴專業，總有一天，我們的研究也可改變世界。

《當夢不是夢》慧惠個人畫展
'Dreams Coming True' Solo Exhibition By Wai Wai
「畫畫搵唔搵到食？」
這是很多人，包括插畫家慧惠都曾經問過的問題。
自小發夢成為畫家的她，於2016年裸辭平面設計的工作，並舉辦有關香港小店的個人畫展，接著不斷揮動畫筆的四年，畫畫帶給慧惠的是滿滿的祝福，不但能維持正常生活，更使她了解更多香港不同的面貌，能夠在生活和事業上發展成為更好的自己，對她來說就像是做夢一樣。
今次在Loupe會展出慧惠的原畫，包括慧惠的寫生作品、《給油麻地的情書》的插畫、受委託的插畫作品、絵手紙（日式明信片）等。
"Can you make a living out of drawings?"
Many have asked the same question, including the illustrator Wai Wai. She has always dreamed to be a painter since she was young. In 2016, she resigned from her graphic designer job and held the first solo exhibition of her illustrations about Hong Kong small shops. She then continued to paint and draw over the next four years. Not only was she able to make a living, but she has also learned a lot more about the different sides of Hong Kong. It is like a dream to her to have developed a better self in career and life.

#EZTALK #你不知道的美國大小事 #ratVSmouse
🇺🇸 Idioms 美國生活用語：老鼠 rat╱mouse 🐁

說到美國老鼠，你會想到可愛的米老鼠，還是《料理鼠王》裡頭的老鼠？趁鼠年第一天，來介紹老美眼中的老鼠！

💪順便搞懂 rat 跟 mouse 的不同之處吧！

1⃣ rat
2⃣ rat out/on
3⃣ smell a rat
4⃣ the rat race
5⃣ quiet at a mouse
6⃣ poor as a church mouse
--

As we enter the Year of the Rat, it’s a good time to think about rodents and their cultural significance. The first animal in the Chinese Zodiac, rats are associated with intelligence, diligence and ambition. And people born in the Year of the Rat can look forward to being wealthy and successful.

鼠年即將到來，正好來介紹一下鼠類跟其文化意涵。身為十二生肖排名第一，老鼠通常會讓我們想到聰明、勤勞且有野心。鼠年出生的人可望成功富有。

In America, however, rats don’t have such a positive image. They are seen as dirty pests that steal food and spread disease. It’s therefore no accident the rat-related idioms are all negative. 1⃣ First, the term “rat” itself. In colloquial American English, a rat is a deceptive, disloyal person or an informant. Ex: Don’t trust Tommy—he’s a rat!

不過在美國，老鼠可就沒有這麼正面的形象。牠們被視為髒東西，愛偷食物並且散播疾病，所以沒有意外地，跟老鼠有關的美國用語都是負面的。首先來看看 rat 這個字，在美式口語英文中，講某人是 rat，就是說他是「騙子、不忠實」，或是「告密者」。如：Don’t trust Tommy—he’s a rat!（別相信湯米，他是個騙子！）

2⃣ “Rat” can also be used in the verb phrase “rat out/on,” which means “to inform on sb.” Ex: The thief ratted out his accomplices to avoid jail time. 3⃣Another phrase is “smell a rat,” which means “to suspect an instance of wrongdoing, deception or betrayal.” Ex: The witness smelled a rat when he saw the suspect leaving the scene of the crime. 4⃣Finally, “the rat race” describes the intense competition and long hours of the urban work environment. Ex: Eric dreamed of leaving the rat race and buying a small farm.

因此 rat 也可延伸作為動詞：rat out/on，指「出賣某人」，如：The thief ratted out his accomplices to avoid jail time.（那個小偷出賣他的同夥逃避坐牢。）另一個片語則是 smell a rat，指「發覺有可疑之處」，如：The witness smelled a rat when he saw the suspect leaving the scene of the crime.（目擊者看到嫌犯離開案發現場時覺得行為可疑。）最後是 the rat race，用來形容職場競爭激烈且工時長的現象。如：Eric dreamed of leaving the rat race and buying a small farm.（艾瑞克夢想著離開這競爭激烈的工作環境，去鄉下種田。）

While the Chinese “shu” is usually translated as “rat,” it can also refer to mice. And mice have a slightly better reputation in English than rats. Mice are small, quiet and shy, so 5⃣ “quiet at a mouse” refers to someone who is shy and timid. Ex: The new student in our class is quiet as a mouse. 6⃣And if someone is “poor as a church mouse,” they’re really poor. This is because churches usually don’t usually store food, so mice who lived in them would have nothing to eat. Ex: My parents were poor as a church mouse when I was born.

雖然中文字「鼠」常常翻作 rat「大老鼠」，不過也可以指 mouse（複數形 mice）「小老鼠」。在英文中，小老鼠的形象比大老鼠稍微好些。小老鼠體型較小，安靜又害羞，所以 quiet as a mouse 可以用來形容某人「害羞膽怯的」，如：The new student in our class is quiet as a mouse.（我們班新來的學生很害羞。）要是說某人 poor as a church mouse，就是說他們「非常窮」。由來是因為教堂通常不會儲藏食物，所以住在教堂裡的老鼠根本沒東西可吃。如：My parents were poor as a church mouse when I was born.（我父母在我出生時候非常窮。）

【✍重點單字】
1. rodent「嚙齒類動物」
2. Chinese Zodiac「十二生肖」：zodiac指西洋占星的十二星座。
3. diligence「勤奮」：當名詞，形容詞 diligent。
4. it’s no accident that…「沒有意外，……」
5. colloquial「口語的」：相對於書寫文字而言，較不正式的說法。
6. deceptive「愛騙人、說謊的」：當形容詞，名詞 deception。
7. informant「告密者」
8. urban「都市的」：相反詞為 rural「鄉下的」。
9. reputation「名聲」

✧ About Music / 歌曲故事

這是一段 Dena 與學長 John Mayer 約翰梅爾的愛情故事。

他的位置在她心中無可取代⋯
但單戀依舊是單戀，依舊是女孩的「白。日。夢」

繼「妳愛他」好評上架後，甜美有才的 Dena 與超級製作人 Skot Suyama 陶山老師，一同譜寫了今夏最新英文單曲「DAYDREAMING 白日夢」，訴說著女孩在夏天的單戀故事⋯

「DAYDREAMING 白日夢」的靈感，源自於 Dena 對天菜唱作人 John Mayer (約翰梅爾) 的仰慕，並期待某天能有機會對他告白，只可惜現實如此遙遠，Dena 也必須要從這「白日夢」醒來。

Dena 與陶山老師一同寫曲、填詞，兩位音樂人共同將女孩單戀、朝思暮想的心情，透過活潑抒情的方式，完整地刻畫出來。

Daydreaming is a song about my obsession with John Mayer. Dreaming of him noticing me in the crowd; in hopes of one day being able to be with him IRL (in real life); but then I realized that it was all just a dream (ugh, Dena!). I wrote it back in 2014 with a producer I'd always dreamed of working with - Skot Suyama. I remember me tentatively sending in my demo, thinking about the slight chance of working with him, and I couldn't believe it happened. We ended up writing so many more songs together. However, distributing songs back then were an issue if you were under any sort of contract, so we had to keep all these gems hidden for years and years. And now, finally, I am this close to tears in knowing that one of our songs, Daydreaming, is finally officially available to the world! People say that the timing is never truly right, but for this song and for those of you listening, I truly hope it's as close as it can get:) - Dena

✧ Lyrics / 歌詞

Daydreaming 白日夢

Music & Lyrics 詞曲 : Dena 張粹方, Skot Suyama 陶山

Verse1:
I see you walk in distant air 你從遠方走過來
Wearing that same old pair of jeans 一如往常的穿著那件牛仔褲
The way the wind blows through your hair 輕風拂過你的髮梢
Oh I can hardly breathe 那瞬間 讓我停止了呼吸

You’re like the hot chocolate steam 你就像我那杯熱可可蒸氣
With melted marsh mellow so sweat 配上已融化的棉花糖
I can almost feel the warmth of your hands 彷彿能感受到你手心的溫度
Brushing though my cheeks 刷過我的臉頰

Chorus:
Oh I’m just daydreaming 這該不會是夢吧?
Such a silly girl 我真是糊塗
Nothing’s as it seems 多希望這一切是真的
I’m upside down in this world and I’m still 但我依然為他神魂顛倒
The one who thinks will 還天真的以為
Maybe get together 我們也許可以在一起
Oh but it’s never gonna be 但醒醒吧
So wake me up from this dream 這只是個白日夢拉

Verse2:
I like The way your guitar hangs on your shoulder 你的肩上總是掛把吉他
And the tattoo on your arm 還有臂彎上的紋身 這些都讓我深深著迷
You’re like the comforting silver lining 你像道溫柔的曙光
That brings me out of my world 帶我走進你的世界裡

And then you saw me in the crowd 當你凝視著在人群中的我
I can’t help myself no more 我的心快跳了出來
Five seconds never felt this long 這一刻時間像是凝結般
But then you’re gone 你卻突然消失在我眼前

CHORUS

Bridge:
Can someone rescue me 誰能夠救救我
I’m traped in this world 我被困在他的似有似無的世界裡
Of ambiguity 動彈不得
Can someone save me 有誰能夠幫幫我
My heart’s 我的心跳
Been racing 正狂奔著
And it’s running away from me 似乎離我越來越遠了
oh left me here emty 而我只剩下空殼佇立在這

So wake me up from this dream 拜託把我拉回現實吧

CHORUS

一直以來都是「韓語中文唱」，但這次是中文歌英文詞，英文爛的我也嘗試了新的方式哈哈。當然填詞人是我以為好友 @ShawnTan ，他聽了這首《小幸運》後勾起他的過去跟此電影故事很接近，就有感而發的寫了這首英文。希望大家會喜歡我的版本，也記得分享喔 ^^

When you hear rain drops falling, do you hear me?
You feel my presence from far, do you see me?
Your gentleness and tender words have become my most hurting memory.

Falling for you was my life's sweetest candy.
Losing you was my bitter tragedy.
Though many years have gone by, hearing your voice, was my life's greatest melody.

Still remember
You became a part of me
Feeling your lips, the reason my heart beat.
Today I wanna write this song
Whisper to you baby, you are always my one and only.

And I just wanna hold on to this memory.
I never knew that love could be so painful and empty.
There was a moment we were hand in hand, you were more than a friend.
Dreamed it would never end, I wish if only you knew.

You became a memory.
And I regret that once our love was almost meant to be.
But I look up to the endless blue sky remember you were mine
My one only desire You are truly happy

那举起的手 阻止你的关心
没有哭泣的余地 就让雨水陪着眼泪流
你不了解女孩的心 永远都空着一个你 一句爱你
you don ’t understand 她说的“讨厌”
跟 “在乎” 全都是初恋 可见
这描述着 怀念 有刘德华的光碟
有大街 有许愿 and 离别

也许当时
忙着微笑和哭泣 忙着追逐天空中的流星
人理所当然的忘记
是谁风里 雨里 一直默默守护在原地

原来你是 我最想留住的幸运
原来我们 和爱情曾经靠得那么近
那为我对抗世界的决定 那陪我淋的雨
一幕幕都是你 一尘不染的真心

与你相遇 好幸运
可我也失去 为你泪流满面的权利
但愿在我看不到的天际 你张开了双翼
遇见你的注定 她会有多幸运
