《En busca del hombre》
Una vez en Mali, subió a un taxi y el conductor le preguntó la dirección. Yerko le enseñó el CD y le dijo:
—A casa de este señor, por favor.
El taxista le miró incrédulo:
—Disculpe, no sé donde vive este hombre.
—Pero alguien lo sabrá, —le animó Yerko con una sonrisa —, podemos preguntar juntos hasta encontrarlo.

Una hora más tarde, a mediodía, encontraron la casa de Toumani.

—El maestro está,
—le dijo el chico de la puerta —. Yerko pensó que estaba realmente de suerte, ya que Toumani viaja muchísimo. Ni en sueños había imaginado coincidir con el famoso músico, su máxima expectativa era recibir clase de alguno de sus alumnos.
—Pero tendrás que esperar, —prosiguió el muchacho —, ya que él duerme de día y se despierta por la noche. Pero se ha levantado para conocerte.

【找尋那個人】
一抵達馬利，Yerko找了台計程車，給司機看專輯並說：『我要到專輯上這個人的家。』
那司機一臉難以置信的回應：『抱歉，可是我並不知道這個人住哪裡啊！』

如同身負任務般，Yerko面帶微笑鍥而不捨地回道：
『沒關係，總會有人知道的吧…我們可以一起找到他！』

一個小時過後的午後，他們來到了Toumani的家。
門口站著一名男孩說：『是的，老師就在這裡。』

Yerko不敢相信自己的幸運，因為他知道Toumani經常外出演出。
在他瘋狂的想象中，從沒想過能真的見到老師本人，只期望能找到老師的學生並學習Kora。
『但你需要等等，』男孩說，『因為老師通常白天睡覺，晚上才會起床。而他已經起床要準備見你了。』

《In search of the man》
Upon arriving in Mali, Yerko found a taxi. He got in, showed the driver the CD, and said, “To this man's house, please”.

The taxi driver looked at him in disbelief and replied, “I’m sorry, but I don’t know where this man lives”.

Like a man with a mission, Yerko urged him on with a smile: “But somebody will know… we can ask together until we find him”.

An hour later, at noon, they found Toumani’s house.

At the door stood a boy, who simply said: “The maestro is here”.

Yerko couldn’t believe his luck, because he knew that Toumani is constantly travelling. Never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that he would cross paths with the maestro himself. The most he had hoped for was to have kora lessons with one of Toumani’s students.“But you'll have to wait,” the boy went on. “He usually sleeps during the day and stays awake at night, but he has gotten up to come and meet you.”

【#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！

#美國大選
經過將近三天的開票，Joe Biden終於贏得選戰成為美國第46任總統。
聽他選後第一次發表的演說時，我正在曬衣服🤣
帶著耳機邊曬邊聽，很多地方都聽到全身起雞皮疙瘩，所以特別分享影片以及讓我有「觸電」感覺的秒數記下分享給大家🇺🇸必須要說，很多時候聽英文原文真的比看中文翻譯有感覺多了！我盡量在下方解說給大家聽。不過我先說好喔，我不是什麼專業的演講評論家也不是個政治狂熱者，但是這的確是場有歷史意義且優秀的演講，單純分享我自己喜歡的地方囉！也歡迎大家分享你們喜歡的段落給大家一起學習！
(2:52~3:03)
I pledge to be a President who seeks not to divide, but to unify. Who doesn’t see Red and Blue states, but a United States.
我承諾成為一個尋求團結而非分裂的總統。我看到的不是紅州或藍州，而是美利堅合眾國(United States of America)。
👉 USA是United States of America，在這次選舉中清楚地看到不論是種族、黨派或貧富，都深深地撕裂、分化美國，所以希望不再用顏色、黨派分Red states or Blue states，而是回到USA的本意就是United States。矮額～這是我第一個雞皮疙瘩的地方。

(6:20~7:05)
And to all those who supported us: I am proud of the campaign we built and ran. I am proud of the coalition we put together, the broadest and most diverse coalition in history. Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Progressives, moderates and conservatives. Young and old. Urban, suburban and rural. Gay, straight, transgender. White. Latino. Asian. Native American.
I mean it. Especially for those moments when this campaign was at its lowest ebb— the African American community stood up again for me. They always have my back, and I’ll have yours.
還有每個支持我們的人，我以我們建立的競選團隊與選戰操作感到光榮。我以我們組成的聯盟感到驕傲，這是史上最廣泛、最多元的聯盟。有民主黨的、共和黨的，還有無黨籍人士，有進步勢力、中間派還有保守派，有年輕的，有老人，有市區跟郊區民眾，也有人來自鄉村地區，有同志、異性戀者，也有跨性別者，有白人、拉丁美洲裔、亞裔，還有美洲原住民。
特別要紀念我們在選情最低迷的時候，非裔美國民眾再次站起來支持我。他們總是支持我，我也支持你們。
👉 這一整段真的要看現場片段，尤其在列舉各種族性別者時，看到他們如此被包容，有這麼幾秒整個拜倒在Biden演講魅力中了！

(7:34~7:53)
It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, see each other again, listen to each other again. And to make progress, we have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies. They are not our enemies. They are Americans. They are Americans.
這是拋開尖刻言辭的時候，要降溫，再見到彼此，聆聽彼此。如果要進步，我們就必須停止把對手當成敵人。我們不是敵人，我們都是同胞。
👉 這裡Biden即席地重複了兩次They are Americans. 經過四年的人權蹂躪後，現在這句話這麼強而有力地講出來真的很有後坐力！

(9:56~10:17)
That plan (the Biden-Harris COVID plan) will be built on a bedrock of science. It will be constructed out of compassion, empathy, and concern.
I will spare no effort, non, or commitment, to turn this pandemic around.
那項計畫將以科學為基礎，依憐閔、同理心與關懷的原則規畫。我將竭盡全力，全心承諾扭轉疫情。
👉 第兩句話其實真的有當場打臉Trump的意味，”will be built on a bedrock of science”，聽了其實挺過癮的😎

(10:48~11:05)
Refusal of Democrats and Republicans to cooperate with one another is not some mysterious force beyond our control. It’s a decision. It’s a choice we make.
民主黨興共和黨拒絕相互合作的原因，並非某種我們無法控制的神祕力量。它是個決定，是我們所做的選擇。
👉 我人生中的信仰一直就是：也許你天生不善良，但永遠可以「選擇」當一個善良的人。所以聽到這句話也真的很有感。

(13:52~14:17)
We’re always looking ahead.
Ahead to an America that’s freer and more just.
Ahead to an America that creates jobs with dignity and respect.
Ahead to an America that cures disease — like cancer and Alzheimers.
Ahead to an America that never leaves anyone behind.
Ahead to an America that never gives up, never gives in.
我們眼光總是向前看，盼望一個更自由、更公正的美國，一個用品格、尊重來創造工作機會的美國，一個可以治療諸如癌症、阿茲海默症等疾病的美國，一個不放棄任何一人的美國，一個不輕言放棄、屈服的美國。
👉 真的好喜歡最後一句：Ahead to an America that never gives up, never gives in. 我覺得我要把”Never give up, never give in.”當做近期的人生座右銘了！

你們呢？你們哪幾段看到起雞皮疙瘩？也分享讓我知道吧！

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
幾星霜　期待もないようなふりをした
恥ずかし気に　でもわかってる　というだけど

双曲線　交わらないでいた
何もわからぬまま　潜っては深く　息も吸えないで

微睡む白んだ光が僕を呼んだ
手を伸ばしてくれるなら

ああ心はまだ応えられないまま
深い海凪いでは　理想描いた今
ただ痛いほど願って　忘れはしないから

ああこのまま立ち止まってしまったら
涙の味でさえ　知らないままだったな
君と笑って

空想上の世界を泳いでみたい
黄昏の陽には　思い出が　流れ落ちた

消極的　希望のないような口ぶりで
明日を見上げる空　困ったな　未来に縋ることさえも

見紛うくらいの煌めく声が覗いた
傷だらけの夢だけど

鼓動は速く　ざわめいていた
心海の果てに鳴る音が
確かに生きた　君との証なら　きっと探していた
零れそうな　呼ぶ声が　今いくと

ああ心はまだ応えられないまま
深い海凪いでは　理想描いた今
ただ痛いほど願って　忘れはしないから

ああこのまま立ち止まってしまったら
涙の味でさえ　知らないままだったな
君と笑って

中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
歷經幾度日月風霜，總是故作漠不期待
雖然說起來有些慚愧，但我仍知道——自己不該如此掩飾

毫無交集的雙曲線
不論屏著氣向多深游去，都還是無法理解另一方的啊

淺眠的晨間白光呼喊著我的名
倘若能對我伸出雙手扶持的話——

我的內心仍無法予以回應
我在廣闊海洋上的風平浪靜，描繪心中理想的此刻
僅是死命地祈禱著能夠實現，也不會忘卻這份嚮往

若我僅是在此止步不前
將無從得知何謂淚水的滋味了吧
也無法與你一同，相視而笑

想在我的幻想世界裡同魚群自在遨游
黃昏夕日中的回憶，也與其一同降下落幕

用消極且不抱任何希望的口吻
仰望著明日也將昇起的天空：「還真是麻煩啊。」就連走向未來也是

窺見了仿佛令人看錯眼般耀眼的聲音
哪怕僅是傷痕累累的夢——

內心的鼓動，止不住地躁動
在這心海深處反覆迴響的聲音
我也一定曾追求著這份，仍在心頭蕩漾的、與你一同存在的證明
用我孱弱的呼喊聲：「我現在就出發！」

我的內心仍無法予以回應
我在廣闊海洋上的風平浪靜，描繪心中理想的此刻
僅是死命地祈禱著能夠實現，也不會忘卻這份嚮往

若我現在僅是止步不前
將再也無從得知這份淚水苦澀的鹹味了吧
看著你，相視而笑


英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
For many months and years, I pretended that I had no hope.
I understand even though it’s embarrassing. I say that, but...

The hyperbola didn’t even meet.
Still not understanding anything, I dove into the deep.
Don’t even breathe.

The white, sleepy light called out to me,
so I reached out my hand.

Ah, my heart still isn’t enough.
The deep-sea calmed, my ideal was drawn.
Because it hurts, I hope I won’t forget it.

Ah, as I stood still in that moment.
I didn’t even know the taste of tears
When I laughed with you

I want to swim in an imaginary world.
My memories of twilight days flowed.

Reluctant, with a hopeless apathetic tone,
I couldn’t look up at tomorrow’s sky or believe in the future.

The mistaken, glittering voice peeked in,
even though it was a wound-riddled dream.

My heartbeat was fast and buzzing,
the sound echoed at the end of the heart’s ocean.
If it's proof that you're alive, I surely searched for it,
I’m moving to that crying out voice now.

Ah, my heart still won’t answer me.
The deep-sea calmed, my ideal was drawn.
Because it hurts, I hope I won’t forget it.

Ah, as I stood still in that moment.
I didn’t even know the taste of tears
When I laughed with you

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
長い雨に遠ざかる声　足を止めて町を眺める
煙る空がどこか奇麗で　懐かしい場所に変わって
いつも傍にいてくれたよね　俄雨に立ち尽くす日も
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
