Taiwan is like a diamond in Asia: Veteran educator Doris M. Brougham

“Taiwan is like a diamond in Asia,” U.S. educator and the founder ( ) of “Studio Classroom,” Doris M. Brougham, said on Wednesday.

“The Diamond is very small, but diamonds shine all around,” she added.

Doris M. Brougham, who has been working in Taiwan for more than 70 years, gave a speech at the opening event of the exhibition ( ) “Foreigners Love Taiwan” organized ( ) by the Taipei City Archives on Wednesday at the West Benevent Square ( ).

Echoing ( ) the theme of the exhibition, Brougham, 95, said she has stayed in Taiwan for more than 70 years and recalled ( ) that when she first came to Taiwan, the land was still developing and many people were facing illnesses.

The veteran educator explained that “the great thing about Taiwan is that people are very willing ( ) to change and to learn.”

She added that Taiwan is a beautiful place and that although “there are many beautiful places around the world, the place is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the people.”

The 95-year-old who has dedicated ( ) several decades to English education in Taiwan amusingly ( ) shared that buffaloes ( ) could even be seen on Zhongshan Road when she first arrived in Taiwan.

She recalled that she learned to speak Mandarin, Taiwanese, and even some indigenous ( ) languages. Yet, she stressed ( ) that the most important thing is to be able to communicate no matter what language we speak.

And we all communicate with each other based on the connection that we are all part of this beautiful island, she remarked ( ).

Brougham ended her speech by stressing that Taiwanese people are very tolerant ( ), and those who have been here all agree that Taiwanese people are very friendly.

“No matter what languages we speak, we are all people living in Taiwan and we are all Taiwanese.”

The “Foreigners Love Taiwan’ exhibition will open from March 10 to April 8, between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

‘The exhibition features three major sections ( ): “Foreigners Who Love Taiwan,” “Sentiments Beyond 100 Years,” and “High-Five Love Taiwan,” featuring ( ) the stories of foreigners who have made selfless ( ) contributions to Taiwan, such as Mackay, Marjorie Ingeleiv, Robert Swinhoe, Sidney Barton and Marjorie Landsborough, Yoichi Hatta and more.

資深教育家彭蒙惠女士 讚許台灣如鑽石般瑰麗

「台灣就像顆亞洲的鑽石，雖然面積小，但各個角落都光彩奪目，散發耀眼光芒。」空中英語教室創辦人彭蒙惠女士形容道。

在台灣深耕超過70年的彭蒙惠於週三上午參加由台北市立文獻館所舉辦位在西本願寺廣場的「吾愛台灣－愛台灣的外國人特展」開幕式活動。

呼應此次特展主題，高齡95歲的彭蒙惠表示，自己待在台灣超過70年，她回想到剛來台灣時，這片土地還在發展中，許多人面臨著病痛，在二戰結束的大環境下，台灣相較於國外復甦的更快。

彭蒙惠直截了當地點出，「台灣最大優點就是人們非常願意改變、願意學習。」

她也提到，台灣是個美麗的地方，儘管「全世界有非常多很美的地方，但地方不是最要緊的，最重要的是人。」

彭蒙惠女士奉獻台灣英語教育超過一甲子的時間，她逗趣地分享道，在她初來乍到的時代，中山路上甚至還能看到水牛在逛大街。
她表示，自己不但會說中文、閩南語、甚至還會說原住民語，然而，不管講什麼語言，最重要的是我們要能溝通，而大家彼此之間溝通連結就建立在我們都是這個美麗島嶼的一份子。

最後，她強調，臺灣人包容度非常高，且來過寶島的人都一致認同台灣人非常友善。

「不管講什麼語言，我們都是住在台灣的人，我們都是台灣人。」
「吾愛台灣——愛台灣的外國人特展」即日起到4月8日早上十點到下午五點開放民眾前往參觀。展覽分為三大展區分別是「愛台灣的外國人們」、「超越百年的情感」、「High-Five愛台灣」，展出馬偕、白寶珠、斯文豪、巴爾敦、蘭大衛與連瑪玉、八田與一等等對台灣做出無私貢獻的外國人們的事蹟。

📝酈英傑處長給台灣人民的道別信
「隨著我擔任美國在台協會處長的日子即將畫下句點，我也即將離開台灣，我想藉這個機會和大家分享，這一番歷練對我來說的意義是什麼。當我說擔任AIT處長其實是我這輩子的榮幸，也讓我得以實現長期職業生涯中的抱負與理想，這麼說一點也不為過。
我19歲時第一次離開家鄉，就是來台灣。對年輕的我來說，從那時起，台灣就成了交流與理解、探索與冒險的同義詞。台灣不僅有著讓人眼花撩亂的異鄉風情，也代表著意想不到的嶄新機會。我在這裡嘗試新奇的食物，像是水餃和臭豆腐，並且學習如何在擠滿單車和機車的大街小巷穿梭自如。一方面，我努力用我粗淺的中文，讓別人聽懂我說的話；但同時我也發現，無論走到哪裡，迎接我的都是滿滿的親切友善與熱情好客。
因此，在成為美國外交官後，能夠以台灣作為我派駐海外的第一站，真是再適合不過了。畢竟，是台灣首先點燃了我對亞洲、尤其是台灣的畢生興趣，也激發了我對跨文化理解和共享目標——也就是外交工作——的終身熱忱。此後，我也曾派駐其他地點，多數是在大中華區域，但我的台灣經歷與回憶始終常存我心。最終我能以美國駐台最高層級外交官的身分回來這裡，可說是我多年職涯的高峰。顯然，我這一生注定與台灣有著深刻的連結，或者也叫作「緣分」吧，才會讓我一次又一次不斷地回到台灣。
常有人問我，為什麼我這麼喜歡台灣。我總覺得：「答案不是很明顯嗎？」不過如果一定要我從個人與專業的角度，解釋我對台灣的喜愛與敬佩之情，我通常會提到以下幾個領域：
首先，台灣兼具活力與穩定、進步與延承、還有創新與傳統。每次回到這裡，我都對台灣社會在各個方面日新月異的進步感到驚艷不已。台灣的民主更臻成熟，經濟益加蓬勃，環境保護更受關注，藝術文化發展也生生不息。
台灣在許多最先進的科技產業上持續為全球創新樹立標竿，但與此同時，台灣的社會穩定和文化傳承依舊令人欽羨佩服。儘管生活充裕且形象良好，台灣人民卻依然謙虛樸實、平易近人。在台灣，最古老的傳統薪火相傳、歷久彌新。文化和歷史古蹟受到妥善的修復與保護；年輕人也可以學習代代相傳的書法技巧，接著再把作品秀在Instagram上。
再者，對美國來說，台灣正是共享利益與共享價值交集的典範。美台夥伴關係的重點在於確保科技發展能夠嘉惠、而非傷害我們雙方的經濟，科技突破則應被用於鞏固、而不是破壞我們的原則。美台之間自由、多元、平等及透明等共享價值，時時激勵我們努力在世界各地打造民主社會的韌性。而我們也持續尋求新的方式，為解決全球問題做出貢獻，這麼做不僅是因為能夠造福我們自己的人民，也是因為我們相信，身為21世紀敦親睦鄰的好夥伴，就是該這麼做。
最後，每當我想到台灣、以及整體美台關係，我總會想到希望、光明和成長。美台的情誼在過去40年來不斷拓展與茁壯。我相信每任處長都會同意，他們離開台灣時的美台夥伴關係，比起他們剛上任時都更上一層樓。同樣的，當我向AIT告別的那一天，我的心中將充滿肯定與成就感，因為我知道，美台夥伴關係比以往都更加深刻和強健，我也對自己能為美台關係今天亮眼的進展小有貢獻，而深感驕傲。
但是，比起這些事情，我想我更難忘的是台灣在我生命中所留下的深刻印記。我永遠會記得我在台灣度過的第一個聖誕節，還有第一個農曆新年。我永遠會記得台灣朋友的真摯與溫暖、教會同伴堅定的信仰、炎炎夏日來一碗芒果冰的沁涼、資源回收車沿街播放《給愛麗絲》的回音，還有巷弄中撲鼻而來的茉莉花香，這些都會是我畢生珍藏的美好回憶之一。我也會記得好友間的餐聚、充滿歡笑和故事的夜晚、以及一路以來我受到過的無數的善意與關懷。我更會永遠記得，是各位台灣朋友們，你們以各種不同的方式，讓我和我家人的生命更加地豐盛美好。對此，我要衷心地謝謝大家。
雖然我將離開台灣，但台灣不會離開我。」

📝A Farewell Letter from AIT Director W. Brent Christensen
"As my time as AIT Director draws to a close and I prepare to leave Taiwan, I want to take this opportunity to tell you what this experience has meant to me. It is not an exaggeration to say that this has been the honor of my life and the fulfillment of a career-long aspiration.
The first time I left my hometown at age 19, it was to come to Taiwan. From that early age, Taiwan became synonymous for me with the ideas of exchange and understanding, exploration and adventure. Taiwan represented both disorienting foreignness and unexpected opportunity, as I tried new food – like shuijiaos and qiu doufu – and learned to navigate my way through streets crowded with bicycles and scooters. And struggled to make myself understood with my rudimentary Mandarin. But all the while discovering the kindness and generosity that welcomed me wherever I went.
It felt appropriate for me to serve my first tour as a U.S. diplomat in the place that first sparked in me a lifelong interest in Asia – and in Taiwan in particular – and in cross-cultural understanding and shared purpose, or in other words, diplomacy. After that, my career took me to other places, but mostly still in the China region. But the memories of my experiences in Taiwan stayed with me. And finally having the opportunity to serve as the top U.S. diplomat to Taiwan was the culmination of all the years that came before. It is clear that I have a lifelong connection to Taiwan, or “yuanfen,” that has led me to return again and again.
People often ask me why I have such a fondness for Taiwan. “Isn’t it obvious?!” I always think. But when forced to explain my affection for and professional fascination with Taiwan, I usually come back to a few themes.
First, dynamism and constancy; progress and preservation; innovation and tradition. Every time I return to Taiwan, I am immediately struck by the many ways Taiwan has advanced as a society. Taiwan’s democracy grows more mature, its economy more prosperous, its environment more cared-for, and its arts and culture more vibrant.
Taiwan’s industry continues to set the benchmark for global innovation in some of the most sophisticated technologies, but at the same time, Taiwan society is remarkable for its stability and cultural continuity. Taiwan’s people, despite their relative wealth and stature, continue to be modest and unassuming. Taiwan’s most ancient traditions are alive and well. Cultural and historic sites are restored and preserved. Young people may learn calligraphy techniques handed down for generations, but then share their work on Instagram.
Second, for the United States, Taiwan exemplifies the intersection of shared interests and shared values. Our partnership is about making sure our economies are beneficiaries rather than casualties of technological development and ensuring that technological development advances rather than undermines our principles. Our shared values of freedom, diversity, equality, and transparency inspire our efforts to build the resilience of democracies around the world. And we continue to find new ways to contribute to global problem solving, both because it benefits our own peoples and because we share the belief that this is what it means to be a good neighbor in the 21st century.
Finally, I associate Taiwan – and the broader U.S.-Taiwan relationship – with hope, promise, and growth. This friendship has expanded and flourished over the past 40 years; I believe every person who has done this job walked away knowing they left this partnership better than they found it. I will similarly leave AIT with a sense of accomplishment and success, knowing that the U.S.-Taiwan partnership is deeper and stronger than ever, and feeling immensely proud of my small role in getting us there.
But more than any of these things, I will remember the ways that Taiwan has touched me personally. I will always remember my first Christmas in Taiwan – and my first Chinese New Year. I will remember the warmth of Taiwan friendship, the faith of my fellow church members, the taste of a mango bing on a hot summer day, the echo of “Fur Elise” from the recycling truck, the fragrance of jasmine blossoms in village alleyways – these are just some of the memories I will treasure. I will remember the long dinners with dear friends, full of laughter and stories. And I will remember their many kindnesses. I will remember all the ways big and small that you, the people of Taiwan, touched my life and the lives of my family. And for that, I thank you.
I may be leaving Taiwan, but Taiwan will never leave me. "

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
遠ざかる南へのポラリス　消えないでよ六等星
私まるで星屑ビーナス　寂しくて眠れない夜

壁の写真　錆びたフレーム　空の花瓶　あの日のままで
捨てられない　古びたテディベア　擦り切れたネイビーのコート

I believe in you　何度も言う　越えられない　あの日のバッドエンド
泣き虫は　きっと直らない　もう少しそばにいたかった
I’m needing you！　I’m needing you！　叫んだって　変わらない
A needle in you？　　ドアは閉まる　…ちょっとWait！　Wait yet！

“Believe Be:leave”　まだ夢見ていたんだ
So I dreamt？　理由なんてなしで
I believe but you leave　さよならさえ　言えなかった
Still I believe？　ビリビリに引き裂いて　I lost your heart

遠ざかる南へのポラリス　消えないでよ六等星
私まるで星屑ビーナス　寂しくて眠れない夜

悲しいよ　寂しいよ　壊れたハート　あの日のままで
抱きしめた　大事なテディベア　引き出しに閉じ込めた涙

I believe in you　何度も言う　変えられない　あの日のバッドエンド
Like my mom said　きっと帰らない　あと少しそばにいたかった
I’m needing you！　I’m needing you！　叫んだって　届かない
A needle in you？　　時が止まる　…ちょっとWait！　Wait yet！

“Believe Be:leave”　愛された気がしてたんだ
So I dreamt？　理由なんてなくて
I believe but you leave　幼さで拭えなかった
Still I believe？　ビリビリに引き裂いて　I lost my heart

“Believe Be:leave”　まだ夢見ていたんだ
So I dreamt？　理由なんてなしで
I believe but you leave　さよならさえ　言えなかった
Still I believe？　ビリビリに引き裂いて

Believe！　I believe　愛された気がしてたんだ
So I dreamt？　理由なんてなくて
I believe but you leave　幼さで拭えなかった
Still I believe？　ビリビリに引き裂いて　I lost your heart

遠ざかる南へのポラリス　消えないでよ六等星
私まるで星屑ビーナス　寂しくて眠れない夜…

中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
指北星正朝著南方漸漸地遠去，六等星啊請還不要消失
我就像那渺小的金星，落在這寂寞得無法入睡的夜晚——

牆上的照片、生鏽的相框，還有空無一物的花瓶，都維持著那天的模樣
那無法丟棄而堆滿歲月的泰迪熊，以及那磨破的海軍外套，也依舊如此

我相信你。對著那天無法釋懷的Bad End，無論要說多少多少次
愛哭鬼的我，肯定是無從改變了吧，多麼想要你待在我身旁久一些
我需要你！現在就需要你！然而就算放聲呼喊，也無從改變了
我是否是你心中的痛？關上的門漸漸抹去你的身影……等一下！再等一下啊！

「相信，你的離去。」但我仍然盼望著你的身影
所以我才懷著這樣的夢嗎？這根本就沒有什麼理由
我相信你，但你卻走了，就連一句再見，也來不及讓我傾訴
我是否還相信呢？我的信任像是被撕裂的信紙，而我，也迷失了你的真心

指北星朝著南方漸行漸遠了，六等星啊請還不要消失
我就像那片星塵中的金星，落在這寂寞得失眠的夜晚——

多麼悲傷、多麼寂寞，碎掉的心，仍然維持著那天的模樣
如今也只能緊抱著那隻重要的泰迪熊，忽視著被關進了抽屜的眼淚

我相信你。對著那天無法改變的Bad End，無論要說多少多少次
就像母親所說的，那些日子肯定不會再回來，多麼希望你能再多陪伴我一些時間
我不能沒有你！現在不能沒有你！然而再怎麼呼喊，你也不可能聽見了
我是否是你心中的痛呢？你我的時間從那天開始便停止了……等、等等！再等等啊！

「相信你的我，已經不在了。」我總覺得自己曾經感受過你的愛
所以我才看見那樣的夢嗎？那根本就沒有什麼理由
我相信著你對我的愛，但你卻走遠了，年幼的我根本無從諒解
那麼我是否還相信你會回來呢？我就像是張被撕裂的信紙，我，迷失了我的真心

「相信，然後釋懷吧。」我還盼望你能在我的身旁
所以我仍然夢想著你的歸來？這根本沒有什麼理由
我相信你會回來，但你卻一去不反了，就連一句道別我也沒能脫口
那麼我是否還相信呢？我的心就像在送出前被撕碎的信紙——

相信！我相信！我總覺得我感覺過你的愛啊！
所以我才會如此夢想嗎？相信你的愛真的不需要什麼理由
我相信你的愛，但你卻不再回來，年幼的我根本無法釋懷
那麼現在的我是否還相信著？就像是沒有了收件人的信紙，我，永遠失去了你的真心

指北星朝著南方遠去了，六等星請還不要離去
我就是迷失在星河裡的渺小金星，迷失在這寂寞得無法入睡的夜晚……

英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
Pictures on the wall… rusted frames… an empty vase… just as they were that day.
A old looking teddy bear I just can’t throw away… A worn out navy coat…

I believe in you, I say again and again – the bad end from that day I just can’t get past.
My crybaby tendencies will surely never change, but I wish I could have stayed next to you a bit longer…

I’m needing you! I’m needing you! But even if I scream, nothing will change;
A needle in you? The door closes. … ah, wait a second… Wait! Wait yet!

“Believe Be:leave” Ahh, I was still living a dream…
So I dreamt? Without any real reason,
I believe, but you leave; I wasn’t even able to say goodbye…
Still I believe? And it just tears me apart. I lost your heart…

I’m sad. I’m lonely. My broken heart is just as it was that day.
That precious teddy bear I used to hold… tears shut away in a drawer…

I believe in you, I say again and again – the bad end from that day I can never change.
Like my mom said, you’ll never come back, but I wish I could have stayed next to you a bit longer…

I’m needing you! I’m needing you! But even if I scream, you won’t hear it.
A needle in you? Time freezes. … ah, wait a second… Wait! Wait yet!

“Believe Be:leave” I felt like I was once loved…
So I dreamt? There’s no particular reason,
I believe, but you leave; being young didn’t work as an excuse…
Still I believe? And it just tears me apart. I lost my heart…

“Believe Be:leave” Ahh, I was still living a dream…
So I dreamt? Without any real reason,
I believe, but you leave; I wasn’t even able to say goodbye…
Still I believe? And it just tears me apart. I lost your heart…

“Believe Be: leave” I felt like I was once loved…
So I dreamt? There’s no particular reason,
I believe, but you leave; being young didn’t work as an excuse…
Still I believe? And it just tears me apart. I lost my heart…

ふいに浮かぶ過ぎた景色と　木陰の下　雨宿り

小さくて幼い　それはまるで
泣き虫な誰かみたいで

四月の雨　濡れた羽
雲雀はまだ　飛べずにいる
浅い春の冷たさに身をすぼめて　時を待ち続ける

日差しの種　淡い夢
羽ばたくまで　唄を添えて
遠い空の切れ間へと　五月の花の名を　今は知らずに

長い影と呼びかける声　時を止めて星を見た夜
眠る前に交わした言葉　失くしたくないものばかり

小さくて幼い　それはいつも
泣いていた　傍にいたくて

失くせないもの増えるたび
暖かさに沈んでゆく
通り雨の冷たさに身をすぼめて　歩き出せずにいる

ゆずれないもの　ひとつだけ
鞄の中　仕舞い込んで
今でもまだ覚えてる右手のぬくもりと　唄を頼りに

遠く響く雷鳴には　春の嵐の手招きの音
いつか　ここで　同じ景色を見てた

四月の雨　風に揺れ
雲雀は今　空を見上げ
浅い春の冷たさに身をゆだねて　羽を広げてゆく

ゆずれないもの　ひとつだけ
鞄の中　仕舞い込んで
遠い空の切れ間へと　花咲く五月へと
傘もささずに

中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
在漫雨中漸漸萬籟俱寂沉靜，我歇下前進的步履，盼向熟悉的城鎮
絲縷雲霧迷濛的天穹傾刻變化綺麗，為這景色添上一絲懷愁牽念
「你總是在身旁陪伴著我呢，即便我們曾佇足紛揚驟雨沐淋的那天也不曾分離。」
腦中不經意追憶起過往點滴——樹蔭下的休憩、雨樓下的回憶

如此渺小稚嫩又青澀天真，那就彷彿——
某個膽小懦弱的愛哭鬼似

四月的連綿細雨，浸濕了的羽翼
盼望再度飛翔的雲雀，仍未能展翅翱翔
伴隨淺春的凜冽寒峭而蜷縮身軀，靜待時間流淌逝去

播灑陽光的種子，流露微淡柔和的夢想
待到能夠再度擺動羽翼之時，我將在一旁與天空伴歌
願歌聲得以高聲向遙遠天穹迴響，即使我們至今仍未聞，五月盛開綻放的花名

向細長淡去的身影遞去的輕聲呼喚，僅為那一夜的璀璨星空，忘卻了時間的流淌
即便是入眠前與你交會傾露出的話語，全都是我不欲失去的、珍貴的點滴

正是因為這份稚嫩與青澀，所以才總是——
總是在哭泣，流著淚渴望你陪伴在身邊

倘若，能獲得更多無法失去的事物
便令人更加無法自拔地沉浸在它的和煦溫暖中
僅因短暫降雨的寒意便蜷縮身軀，動彈不得、更沒有勇氣邁出步伐

無法退讓、畏懼失去的，僅此唯一
緊緊收起、深深地埋藏在，所背負的行囊之中
至今仍舊得以憶起，右手曾包裹住的柔和與溫暖，正藉著奏響的春頌煦煦傳來

遠處嘹亮迴響的雷鳴，宛若在春天的暴風中招手的聲響
曾幾何時，也曾在此處，看見同樣的景色

四月的連綿細雨，隨著清風搖曳紛飛
雲雀現在已能，昂首仰望天空
接受淺春的凜冽寒峭，而任憑身軀，張開翅膀翱翔離去

無法退讓、畏懼失去的，僅此唯一
緊緊收起、深深地埋藏在，所背負的行囊之中
靜待真摯的情感抵達那片天際的盡頭；抵達錦簇繁花盛開綻放的五月時節
也可從此收起，這把度過春雨的傘了

英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
Upon hearing the fading voice in the middle of the rain
I stopped walking to gaze upon the city
The hazy sky is turning into
somewhere beautiful and nostalgic

You have always stayed by my side, you even
stood still on days when the rain pours unceasingly
even as scenery floated past unexpectedly
under the shelter of the trees

The small and young something is just like
someone who cries easily

The lark is still unable to fly
as its wings were drenched by the April Showers
In the cold of early spring
it furls its body, awaiting the passing of time

Just as this dream with subdued colours
is adorned by seeds of sunlight,
I will adorn the lark with poems until its wings could flap again
and it can fly to the distant skies
without knowing the name of the flower in May

A long shadow and a voice calling out to me,
the night I stopped time and saw the stars,
words exchanged before going to sleep,
these are all the things I do not want to lose

The small and young something
is always crying, wanting to stay by my side

When the things you can’t afford to lose ever increases
submerge everything in warmth
In the coldness of the passing rain
it furls its body, and stayed still

The one thing I can’t afford to lose
is buried inside my bag
Even now, as I depend on a song
I can still remember the warmth of your right hand

The distant echo of booming thunder
is the sound of the beckoning spring storm
I will see the same scenery here someday

The April Shower is swayed by the wind
The lark is now looking at the sky
In the cold of early spring
It spreads its wings in abandon

The one thing I can’t afford to lose
is buried inside my bag
I head on to the distant skies and
I head on into the month of May, where flowers bloom
without opening my umbrella
