想傳遞一份關於生命的喜悅給你們❤️
　　　　
　　今天夫夫小視窗暫停一次，但我們想和大家分享，夫夫小視窗的英文字幕翻譯——Sheila的好消息。
　　　　
　
　　其實大家會發現，我們每週一、三、五的影片都有英文字幕，是來自不同的三個人，有新加坡的小洋蔥、在哈佛大學攻讀博士的醫師，和星期五夫夫小視窗的Sheila。
　　
　　Sheila是一位在紐西蘭擔任精神科醫師的小洋蔥。是，為什麼我們會說他是小洋蔥，因為她在夫夫之道創立後的第一年就認識我們。
　　
　　舉凡後來的夫夫小視窗或同志遊行的英文翻譯，多半出自她手。她總說她的職業是幫助許多受困的人找到出口，而我們的影片，則是另一種心靈治療，有療癒人心的作用。因為夫夫劇場曾經拉了她一把，所以肯定我們的行為，並願意支持我們做更多事情。
　　
　　
　　她曾經幫助我們購買拍攝設備，鼓勵我們勇敢報名Vidcon，前往加州體驗，只因為她希望我們能更有眼界與開闊的心胸去看待更多事情。
　　
　　後來我們成為很好的朋友，她也來過臺灣，和我們待上幾天的旅行。直到現在，她還是不斷的鼓勵與支持我們，只因為她相信我們值得被看見。
　　
　　而且，其實她原本對於宗教是保持著觀望且排斥的態度，但因為我們之前有幾支介紹佛光山寺院與信仰的影片，才讓她對佛教改觀，甚至嘗試參加了宗教信仰的活動，她說用科學的角度與感性的立場去看待宗教的多面向，對她而言也是生命中很重要的幫助。
　　
　　
　　
　　她曾經說過一段話我永遠不會忘，她說:「我曾被人開了一扇門，所以我也想替你們開一扇門，但請你們以後有能力的時候，也要替更多的人開一扇門，給他們出口與前進的力量。」這句話我們永遠會放在心上。
　　
　　
　　
　　而今天會發這篇文主要是因為，下禮拜的夫夫小視窗之後，英文翻譯就會暫時停止。
　　
　　因為Sheila懷孕了！下禮拜要準備待產，她期盼好久的寶寶終於要來臨了！她選擇了這位孩子，而這位孩子也選擇她，相信這份因緣會成為一場無可取代的美好天倫。
　　
　　用這篇文章來謝謝她，也祝福她待產一切順利。這是寶寶的超音波照片，是不是超美好！

　　　　
　　說好了！我和里歐是乾爹一號和乾爹二號唷！
　　
　　　　
　　I want to share the joy of life to all of you.
　　
　　We won’t have Fufutalk this week. However, we want to share with you a piece of good news about our Fufutalk English subtitles translator, Sheila.
　　
　　
　　You may have noticed we have English subtitles for all our videos on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. They are from three different person. There’s a Singaporean; a doctor studying his PhD in medicine in Harvard; and Sheila who takes on the translation for Fufutalk.
　　
　　Sheila is a Psychiatrist in New Zealand, and she is also one of our little onions. The reason we call her one of our little onions is because she came to know about us after the first year we started Fufuknows.
　　
　　She has done most of the translation for our LGBT pride videos and Fufutalk videos. She keeps saying it’s her job to walk alongside struggling people, and our videos did the same thing in a different way. Our Fufudrama had supported her through some of her darkest days, so she grew to appreciate and then actively support what we do.
　　
　　
　　She supported us to buy cameras, encouraged us to register for Vidcon in the States. She wanted to widen our horizons, so that we can see the world with different perspectives.
　　
　　We became good friends. She had spent several days with us in Taiwan. She kept encouraging us throughout the last few years, trusting we should be seen by more.
　　
　　Moreover, she started off being an atheist, somewhat skeptical about religion as a whole. Then she watched our videos on Buddhism and on Fuo Guang Shan. These changed her mind on Buddhism, so much so that she gave Buddhist activities a try. The integration of science and religion was what she found the most helpful.
　　
　　
　　I can never forget what she said to us. She said, “someone once opened a door for me. I am passing that on by opening a door for the two of you. When you become stronger, pass it on by opening a door for someone else. Bring them forward.” This will always be on our minds.
　　　　　　
　　
　　We are writing about her today because, after our Fufutalk next week, we will cease to have English translation for Fufutalk.
　　
　　That’s because Sheila is pregnant! She is going to give birth soon. Her baby is finally coming! She has chosen this child, and this child has chosen her. We believe they will form a great family.
　　
　　We want to say thanks to her by this article. We wish her all the best for her delivery. This is the ultrasound photo of her baby, how cute!
　　　
　　
　　We have decided! Leo and myself will be godfathers no. 1 and 2!

『角落時間』的討論是我們營隊其中一個珍貴的內容
我們會先提出一些當天所學及發生的基本問題
讓孩子們思考＆反饋
但孩子們總是能激發出更多延伸的討論
證明了我們當初的堅持沒有錯
孩子雖然還小，但不用低估他們
『他們才真的是開創我們視野的推手』

The “circle time” is one of the key aspects of our camp. During this session, we talk about what we have learned, or problems might have arisen throughout the day. It is a great opportunity for the children to reflect on the classes and provide feedback, however, they always manage to turn the discussion to a much more substantial debate. This only proves our theories right: although the children are still very young, we definitely shouldn't underestimate them- they are the ones who “widen our horizons and deepen our own understanding”.

去年此時俐媽po了這篇文章，幫助高一學生學習常見字尾及其詞性、意思，背起衍生字才會事半功倍。
今年的小高一，希望這對你們有幫助。
月考，加油！
單字量是王道哪！

和EEC單字考試連續三週不及格(80分)的孩子約談時，發現大部份的孩子分數擦邊，問題都出在對於單字及其衍生字的詞性、字尾搞不清楚，因此失分。
俐媽整理出常見的字尾及其代表詞性/意思，孩子們要記熟囉！

2. 一天分睡醒後、早上通車上學、中午吃便當、下午通車回家、晚上換科目讀書的空檔、以及睡前至少六遍以上接觸該單字。
3. 把小單字本及雜誌字卡放在桌子軟墊板下面，隨時隨地抓緊零碎時間背單字。
4. 背完一定寫題目自我驗收，不要自己球員兼裁判，感覺自己背熟了，隔天卻被考卷電得亮晶晶。
5. 確實收看網版課程，乖乖聽EEC/文法AED課程，認真寫網版講義/考古題/回測考卷並訂正除錯，程度一定大躍進。

以上良方，請儘早服用，必有妙效，俐媽祝福您❤️
