「We Miss You So, Anita 我們永恆的百變天后」紀念展覽 #她把永遠的美麗和歌聲留給了觀眾

———

作品繪畫是梅艷芳最後一次演唱會穿上婚紗獨白的一刻。

夕陽雖然美麗，但是眨眨眼便會過去，若遇良人，請把握分分秒秒，且行且珍惜。

梅艷芳穿著婚紗唱《夕陽之歌》：「奔波中心灰意淡，路上紛擾波折再一彎，一天想到歸去但已晚」

在演唱會的尾聲，她在諾大的體育館，身著婚紗，沒有新郎，她驕傲地掀起頭紗，在數萬歌迷的見證下，把自己嫁給了舞台，成為了自己的新娘。

This painting captures the moment when Anita Mui, who dressed in her wedding gown, gave a speech in her last concert.

The sunset is magnificent yet it comes and goes in an instant. If you are lucky enough to have found your loved one, cherish every moment you share with him or her.

Dressed in her wedding gown, Anita sang her Song of the Sunset –

“In my hurried life, I become dispirited in such a long path full of twists, but when I think about drifting back, it's already too late”.

When the concert came to an end, she proudly lifted her wedding veil in the enormous stadium without a groom. In front of thousands of her fans, Anita married to the stage, and she became the bride of her own.

Reinventing Workers for the Post-COVID Economy

The nation’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic will hinge ( ) to some extent ( ) on how quickly show managers can become electricians ( ), whether taxi drivers can become plumbers ( ), and how many cooks can manage software for a bank.

This is likely to prove especially problematic for millions of low-paid workers in service industries like retailing ( ), hospitality ( ), building maintenance and transportation, which may be permanently impaired ( ) or fundamentally transformed. What will janitors ( ) do if fewer people work in offices? What will waiters do if the urban restaurant ecosystem never recovers its density ( )?

Their prognosis ( ) is bleak ( ). Marcela Escobari, an economist at the Brookings Institution, warns that even if the economy adds jobs as the coronavirus risk fades ( ), “the rebound won’t help the people that have been hurt the most.”

Looking back over 16 years of data, Escobari finds that workers in the occupations ( ) most heavily hit since the spring will have a difficult time reinventing themselves. Taxi drivers, dancers and front-desk clerks have poor track records moving to jobs as, say, registered nurses, pipe layers or instrumentation technicians.

COVID is abruptly ( ) taking out a swath ( ) of jobs that were thought to be comparatively ( ) resilient ( ), in services that require personal contact with customers. And the jolt ( ) has landed squarely on workers with little or no education beyond high school, toiling ( ) in the low-wage service economy.

“The damage to the economy and particularly to workers will probably be longer lasting than we think it is going to be,” said Peter Beard, senior vice president at the Greater Houston Partnership, an economic development group.

What’s more, he said, COVID will intensify underlying ( ) dynamics ( ) that were already transforming ( ) the workplace. Automation ( ), for one, will most likely accelerate ( ) as employers seek to protect their businesses from future pandemics

The challenge is not insurmountable ( ). Yet despite scattered ( ) success stories, moving millions of workers into new occupations remains an enormous ( ) challenge.

“We need a New Deal ( ) for skills,” said Amit Sevak, president of Revature, a company that hires workers, trains them to use digital tools and helps place them in jobs. “President Roosevelt deployed ( ) the massive number of workers unemployed in the Great Depression on projects that created many of the dams ( ) and roads and bridges we have. We need something like that.”

勞工轉型以因應後疫情時代經濟

美國經濟能否從新型冠狀病毒影響下復甦，將在一定程度上取決於表演經理們要多久才能變成電工，計程車司機能否化身為水管工，以及有多少廚師能替銀行管理軟體。

這對零售業、餐旅業、建築維修和運輸業等服務業數百萬低薪工人來說，問題恐怕特別大。這些行業可能受到永久性損害或發生根本性改變。若辦公室裡人變少了，工友要做什麼呢？若都市餐廳生態系統繁盛不再，服務生又該如何？

他們的前景是黯淡的。布魯金斯學會經濟學家Marcela Escobari警告說，即使就業機會隨新型冠狀病毒疫情風險消退而增加，「經濟反彈也幫不了那些受創最重的人」。

Escobari檢視16年來的數據發現，今春以來受衝擊最大的一些職業，勞工將很難自我改造。計程車司機、舞者和櫃檯人員轉行從事護理師、舖管工或儀器技工等工作者十分有限。

新型冠狀病毒突然帶走了一大批原本被認為較不容易永久消失的工作，即需與客戶面對面接觸的服務工作。這一衝擊直接打擊到那些僅受過高中教育、在低薪服務經濟區塊中掙扎的勞工。

經濟發展組織大休士頓商會資深副總裁Peter Beard表示：「經濟、尤其是勞工們受害的時間，可能比我們預期的還要更長。」

他說，更重要的是，新型冠狀病毒疫情將強化已經在改變職場的潛在動力，自動化即為一例，由於雇主力求讓自己的企業未來不受大疫情影響，自動化極可能加速。

這項挑戰並非不能克服。然而，儘管有少數成功的例子，讓數百萬勞工轉業仍是巨大的挑戰。

雇用勞工後培訓他們使用數位工具，並幫他們找到工作的Revature公司總裁Amit Sevak說：「我們需要一項針對職業技能的新政。小羅斯福總統大蕭條時期把大量失業勞工投入工程計畫，興建了我們現在使用的水壩、道路與橋樑。我們需要這樣的東西。」

"因為我已捨棄掉過去的自我，隨著肩上的壓力逐漸增重"

－－－－－－－

"Unfold"
"這是這張專輯中唯一真正有跟別人合作的歌，而會有這首是因為我一直以來都很喜歡 TEED 的音樂。當我們進到錄音室寫歌、錄歌時，他開始告訴我他有多喜歡我的上一張專輯《Worlds》裡收錄的〈Sea of Voices〉，以及他多希望那是他寫的歌，所以我開始勾勒出一幅稍微可以讓人想起那首歌的聲音畫面。接著，為了要讓這首歌符合《Nurture》，我們決定讓他唱——其實我們算是一起唱啦，整個過程匆忙得像一陣風。有一段時間，我把這首歌放在專輯比較前面的部分，因為它代表著一些變化，但在製作的過程中，我開始覺得：『不，這應該是專輯的收尾部分。如果要收錄這如史詩級的音牆效果，它就應該在收尾的地方出現。』"

Wishing with closed eyes

Run for a lifetime

Follow the signs

I put my pictures down
我放下了夢想的藍圖

They're not as good as the real thing

"I wish I could go home"
我好希望能回家

You're just nostalgic
妳只是回憶

What do we wander from
我們究竟為何徘徊

And only notice it now

So be here with me
所以跟我一起留在這裡

And I watched the water unfold
而我的心如潮水展露

It's a feeling I want you to know

Cause I'm not the same as I was
因為我已捨棄掉過去的自我

As I shoulder the weight of the world

I was setting in stone

Until I noticed it right

Don't be sorry, then

And I fall from my bones
我會全心投入

And now I know I'm alive
此刻我明白我正活著

I want you to find it
我希望妳能找到答案

And I watched the water unfold
而我看著水面展露

It's a feeling I want you to know
這種感受 要是妳也能懂

Cause I'm not the same as I was
因為我不再是從前的我

As I shoulder the weight of the world
隨著肩上的壓力逐漸增重

Thaw your hands now (I have been numb)
把妳的手伸向我 (我曾麻木不堪)

Put color in your cheeks (where I belong)
為妳的臉頰填上色彩 (到達我的歸屬)

I missed you back then
我好希望妳能回來

So be here with me
所以陪我留下來吧

And I watched the water unfold
而我的心 如潮水展露

It's a feeling I want you to know
這種感覺 但願妳也能感受

And I watched the water unfold
而我的心如潮水展露

It's a feeling I want you to know
這種感受 要是妳也能夠懂

Cause I'm not the same as I was
因為我已捨棄掉過去的自我

As I shoulder the weight of the world
當我背負著全世界的重量

Cause I'm not the same as I was
因為我不再是從前的我

As I shoulder the weight of the world
隨著肩上的壓力逐漸增重

And I watched the water unfold
而我的心如潮水展露

It's a feeling I want you to know
這種感覺 希望妳也能懂

Cause I'm not the same as I was
因為我已捨棄掉過去的自我

As I shoulder the weight of the world
隨著肩上的壓力越來越重

上週，歐洲發生大規模洪水造成上百人死亡。橫跨大西洋， 大規模的野火正在美國西部燃燒。 科學家警告，這些極端天氣是全球暖化的明顯徵兆。 幾年前，談論氣候變遷時都覺得是未來的事，但現在已無法再等，因為它正在發生。
