Matrix精彩語錄

_(嗯嗯_這個經典想到我去年差點衝動買下套裝的11片駭客任務dvd哩)

(Neo吞下藍色藥丸後)
Morpheus: Have you ever had a
dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real?
What if you were unable to wake
from that dream?

How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real
world?

(Neo第一次進入Simulator)
Morpheus: What is
real?
How do you define real?
If you're talking about what you can
feel,
what you can smell,
what you can taste and see,
then real is simply electrical
signals interpreted by your brain.

(Morpheus描述第一代的Matrix及第一代的The One)
When the
Matrix was first built, there was a man born inside who had the ability to
change whatever he wanted, to remake the Matrixes he saw fit.
It was he who freed the
first of us, taught us the truth.
After he died, the oracle prophesied his
return and that his coming
would hail the destruction of The Matrix, end the
war, bring freedom to our people.

(Neo學完功夫後第一次和Morpheus在Simulator裡對打，Morpheus解釋規則及打破規則的原理)
Morpheus:
This is a sparring program, similar to the programmed reality of the
Matrix.
It has the same basic rules, rules like gravity.
What you must
learn is that these rules are no different than the rules of a computer
system.
Some of them can be bent, others can be broken.

Don't think you
are.
Know
you are.

I'm trying to free your mind, Neo, but
I can only show you the door.
You're the one that has to walk through
it.

(Neo第一次重回Matrix見Oracle)
Neo: So, is this the
same oracle that made the, uh... the prophecy?
Morpheus: Yes. She's very
old.
She's been with us since the beginning of the resistance.
Neo: And
she knows what, everything?
Morpheus: She would say she knows enough.
Neo:
And she's never wrong?
Morpheus: Try not to think of it in terms of right and
wrong.
She is a guide, Neo.
She can help you to find the path.

(小孩用唸力折彎湯匙)
小孩(對Neo說):
Do not try and bend
the spoon.
That's impossible.
Instead, only try to realize the truth.
There is no spoon.
Then you'll see
that it is not the spoon that bends.
It is only yourself.

(黑貓重複出現)
Neo: Deja
vu.
Trinity: A deja vu is usually a glitch
in the Matrix.
It happens when they change something.

(Agent Smith捉到Morpheus)
Smith: Did you know
that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world
where none
suffered, where everyone would be happy?
It was a disaster.
No one would
accept the program.
Entire crops were lost.
Some believed
that we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world,
but I believe that as a species,
human beings define their reality through
misery and suffering.
So the perfect world was a dream that
your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from.

(Smith捉住Morpheus, 想問出Zion主機的密碼,
Smith說明為什麼想要離開Matrix)
Smith: I... hate this place, this...zoo, this prison,
this reality, whatever you want to call it.
I can't stand it any
longer.
It's the smell... if there is such a thing.
I feel saturated by
it.
I can taste your stink.
And every time I do, I fear that I've somehow
been infected by it.
It's repulsive. Isn't it?
I must get out of here.
I must get free.
And
in this mind (雙手捉住Morpheus的頭)

is the key, my key.

Once Zion is destroyed, there is no need for me to be here.

Do you understand?

I need the codes.I

have to get inside Zion.

Somewhere over the rainbow

第一次聽這首歌_是在成大的視聽圖書館內
第一次知道綠野仙蹤的故事是國小三年級
第一次完整看到十二集的綠野仙蹤的中譯本是三年後看到國語日報社出版的
現在手上收藏了兩本原文精裝版(插圖十分精美_很可惜另外十本我無力收集)
最近因為聽到電影中的這首爵士樂
(aselin debison的版本_是和what a wonderful world的混編民謠吟唱版)
也因為凱莉重發這首的現場的單曲
(雖然她唱得不怎麼樣_甚至比不上葉蒨文唱的英文版)
_但是讓我費心的透過網路收集了這首歌的各種版本
(目前有三十幾個歌手的版本吧_而且還有很多live的MV_居然還有舞曲)
(我超喜歡這種收集的_上次收集的是貓王的can't help falling in love with you)
很高興Somewhere over the rainbow這首歌業已成為爵士經典
(所以爵士樂的天王和天后都唱了這首歌_也有很多演奏曲)
我真的很感謝網路上所有分享的人
(沒有依家唱片公司會做這樣貼心的事吧)

這裡轉貼一個很詳盡的背景介紹
綠野仙蹤（The Wizard of Oz）：永遠的桃樂絲　　
文/聞天祥

『綠野仙蹤』的故事，想必你已耳熟能詳：小女孩桃樂絲跟著房子被龍捲風吹到了奧茲王國，她的房子正好壓死了壞心的巫婆，拯救了小人國脫離苦難，但是她必須再去尋找偉大的魔術師幫助她重返人間，於是她一面展開旅程，一面提防壞巫婆的姊姊報復。一路上她結識了想要有腦子的稻草人、想要有顆心的機械人、以及想要有勇氣的獅子為伴，當他們突破萬難、達成任務的那一刻，才發現自己都不缺少想要的東西。而桃樂絲一覺醒來，也發現自己已經回到思念的家鄉了。但是你相信一部叫做《綠野仙蹤》（The Wizard of Oz,1939）的電影，竟然會是美國觀眾最重要的共同記憶之一，甚至被國家圖書館列為經典保藏嗎？ 1939年出品的《綠野仙蹤》雖然出現在歐洲戰火尚未捲進美國的時候，但是這部關於「尋找回家的路」的電影卻已經先行指出當時觀眾的憂慮與期望，並在其後不久的歲月裡實現。自美國加入戰局後，美國人民就染上了「桃樂絲情結」，無不希望自己的子弟能像桃樂絲一樣，幸運地找到回家的路，結束戰爭。甚至故事裡的好巫婆、壞巫婆，也在無意中成為針對當時發動或參與戰爭的領袖們的巧妙比喻。桃樂絲，則成為美國既無辜又勇敢的象徵了。除卻歷史、社會不談，擺在類型的角度來看，《綠野仙蹤》也是一部擲地有聲的傑作。三０年代中期因為擁有「佛雷與金姐」而能執歌舞片牛耳的雷電華公司，終於在這時候遇到米高梅公司的挑戰，米高梅後來成功地取代雷電華，並進而在四、五０年代締造出歌舞片的黃金時期。而趕在三０年代尾聲推出的米高梅電影《綠野仙蹤》就成為這兩家大公司改朝換代的先聲。對歌舞片發展功不可沒的製片家兼作詞家亞瑟佛雷（Arthur Freed）的整合觀念已經在《綠野仙蹤》發生影響：歌舞本身皆與戲劇性緊密結合，只要妨害敘事發展的歌舞一律剔除，對白轉為歌唱也處理得輕柔而不突兀，而且還隨著主角的情緒變化而行。這個觀念可以說是影響了後來所有歌舞片的拍攝與研究。如果你再從電影技術史的角度來看這部作品：桃樂絲在堪薩斯老家的部份以黑白拍攝，奧茲王國的奇遇旅程則是色彩紛呈的彩色攝影。《綠野仙蹤》的出現，也標示著三０年代電影底片從黑白逐漸過渡到彩色的里程碑。而且它的彩色和現在的「真實彩色」還有一段距離，彷彿上了顏料般的景象，反而帶給具備童話幻覺特質的《綠野仙蹤》更強的「說服力」。你不覺得這部電影的意義因為天時、地利、人和，被擴充成無限倍嗎？然而《綠野仙蹤》對絕大多數的觀眾而言，最具紀念意義的恐怕還是飾演桃樂絲的茱蒂嘉蘭（Judy Garland，1922-1969）和那首永垂不朽的「彩虹曲」（Over the Rainbow）吧！

當年米高梅公司原本打算用克拉克蓋博（Clark Gable）加上珍哈露（Jean Harlow）和福斯公司交換如日中天的童星秀蘭鄧波兒（Shirley Temple）演出《綠野仙蹤》的桃樂絲。不料珍哈露突然過世，秀蘭鄧波兒這個號稱「福斯之神」的小女娃也「忙」得沒空出借，逃樂絲這個角色就這樣落到了已經亭亭玉立的茱蒂嘉蘭的身上，好萊塢明星史也從此改寫。

生於1922年的茱蒂嘉蘭，3歲開始就和姊姊載歌載舞地出現在舞臺上，1936年通過徵選進入米高梅。《綠野仙蹤》之前，她最著名的演出是在《1938百老匯旋律》（Broadway Melody of 1938）對著克拉克蓋博的照片唱出「親愛的蓋博先生」（Dear Mr. Gable），聲勢完全無法跟長年雄踞票房冠軍的秀蘭鄧波兒相比。而且飾演桃樂絲這個小女孩，對已經16歲的她來講似乎不是那麼有勝算的事情（秀蘭鄧波兒當時則只有10歲）。然而茱蒂嘉蘭卻創造了奇蹟，她美妙渾厚的歌聲融化了觀眾的偏見，她為桃樂絲創造的活潑、主動的性格，也使得角色的早熟有了非常得體的理由，而且惹人喜愛。秀蘭鄧波兒紅遍三０年代，卻沒有一部足以傳世的作品，茱蒂嘉蘭意外從她手中撿到《綠野仙蹤》，卻開啟了另一個明星的生涯。無庸置疑的，米高梅四０年代的當家花旦，非茱蒂嘉蘭莫屬。「彩虹曲」是《綠野仙蹤》的桃樂絲找不到人傾聽她的煩惱時所唱的歌曲 over the rainbow。

Somewhere over the rainbow ,way up high

There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow ,skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star

And wake up where the clouds are far behind me

Where troubles melt like lemon drops

Away above the chimney tops

That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly

Birds fly over the rainbow

Why then oh why can't I

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow

Why oh why can't I

歌詞的大意是：
在彩虹彼端的遙遠天邊

有塊搖籃曲中提到的樂土

在彩虹彼端的那片藍天

能實現你美麗的夢想

我願上雲端與星辰為伴

讓所有的憂愁化作輕煙隨風而去

在彩虹的彼端

有青鳥飛翔

鳥兒也能跨越彩虹

為何我不能

鳥兒既能跨越彩虹

願我也能飛到彩虹的另一端

根據作曲家哈洛亞倫（Harold Arlen）的說法，「彩虹曲」是《綠野仙蹤》最後完成的一首歌，當他作完片中其他歌曲後，一直苦思不出一支適合桃樂絲在堪薩斯老家唱的曲子，原本他想暫時忘掉這件事情，和老婆去兜風，沒想到卻在途中想出了主旋律，然後隔天就完成了它。作詞家哈堡（E.Y. Harburg）剛聽到旋律時，認為它太沈重了，不像個小女孩唱的調子，但是當整首歌彈得再輕柔一點時，他想到了一個住在堪薩斯、沒有太多花朵和顏色的地方的女孩，所能面對的美麗事物可能就只有彩虹了，於是他寫下了詞，原來他想把歌詞寫作"On the other side of the rainbow"，但是它跟旋律合不太起來，於是又改成了"Over the rainbow"。《綠野仙蹤》在試映的時候，米高梅的上層還認為「彩虹曲」這首歌太慢了，三度想剪掉它，幸好亞瑟佛雷堅持保留。而許多唱片界的人士也認為這首歌很難紅，因為開頭第一句"Somewhere over the rainbow---"的"Somewhere"太難唱，中段"Someday I’ll wish upon a star---"又太幼稚，彷彿小孩的音樂教本。但是「彩虹曲」依然突破了陳規與迷信，成為一首轟動當時又流傳不墜的電影歌曲。它的難唱，反而讓茱蒂嘉蘭如魚得水；中段突然進入簡單童稚的音符與歌詞，則適時表現出歌曲的夢想與天真。正如茱蒂嘉蘭所言：「為什麼有人聽到這首歌會掉下眼淚？因為它已經成為夢想和希望的象徵。」奧斯卡影帝詹姆斯史都華（James Stewart）在《費城故事》（The Philadelphia Story,1940）也忍不住唱起「彩虹曲」。同樣由他主演的《格倫米勒傳》（The Glenn Miller Story,1954）則用交響樂團演奏此曲。
許多女歌手更把這首歌視為不可侵犯的經典。1986年芭芭拉史翠珊（Barbra Streisand）在她的反核演唱會「一種聲音」（One Voice）演唱這首歌之前，還特別向已逝的茱蒂嘉蘭致意，聲稱不敢貿然演唱。瑪麗莎曼徹斯特（Melissa Manchester）的「讚辭」（Tribute）專輯，也以重唱「彩虹曲」向茱蒂嘉蘭致敬。台灣歌手黃小琥也重唱過這首歌，而且還是專輯的主打歌。茱蒂嘉蘭自個兒更是不知道在多少演唱會和節目中唱過千回、萬回，這是她永遠的安可曲。至於電影《綠野仙蹤》也已經成為美國電影一個相當重要的原型。一向被視為怪胎的導演大衛林區（David Lynch）就是鍾愛本片的極端代表，他不僅把《藍絲絨》（Blue Velvet,1986）的女主角取名為桃樂絲，甚至還在他的坎城得獎作品《我心狂野》（Wild at Heart,1990）安排了好巫婆、壞巫婆，以及「尋找」和「回家」等諧仿自《綠野仙蹤》的母題。《綠野仙蹤》早就不僅止於一部童話式的歌舞片了，「彩虹曲」也不再只是一首電影歌曲。它最大的變型，應該是被許多同性戀者和團體引伸為一個尚未完成的夢想，一首描述他們心情的歌曲。事實上，《綠野仙蹤》片中那頭鬃毛上還綁著紅緞帶的獅子王，是帶有相當程度的男同性戀曖昧的。而茱蒂嘉蘭在美國更是許多男同志的偶像（有個笑話說如果一個男人既會烹飪又愛茱蒂嘉蘭，那他一定是個gay），原因是什麼？我也不敢確定。只因為這首歌嗎？還是茱蒂嘉蘭本身也被傳聞的女同性戀傾向？或者是她銀幕下淒涼的處境令人自況？《綠野仙蹤》和「彩虹曲」把茱蒂嘉蘭帶上超級巨星的寶座，但也成為她的符咒。在觀眾的印象裡，茱蒂嘉蘭就是桃樂絲，即使離開了《綠野仙蹤》，茱蒂嘉蘭飾演的角色也多半是活潑可愛的女孩，雖然她傑出的歌藝和演技仍能教她聲勢不墜，但茱蒂嘉蘭終究不是桃樂絲。關於茱蒂嘉蘭的傳記很多，無不提及母親的野心如何讓她沒有正常的童年，不只是登台演出，還包括注射吃藥好讓需要睡眠的小孩強作精神等等不人道的行為。而成名之後的茱蒂嘉蘭，則要面對超出體能所能負荷的拍片量和不斷的吃藥減肥，電影公司也以提神藥讓她一天能有四分之三的時間工作，安眠藥則讓她能夠迅速入眠。「藥癮」後來成為奪去茱蒂嘉蘭生命的最大兇手，但好萊塢呢？嘉蘭的五任婚姻都不成功，是她人生的另一大挫敗。米高梅造就她成為閃亮巨星，卻也在1950年開除了她。1954年，茱蒂嘉蘭演出她最精湛的作品《星海浮沈錄》（A Star Is Born），片中描述的辛酸現實，或許更接近茱蒂的真實人生。五０年代後的茱蒂嘉蘭，演藝重心多半放在電視綜藝節目（影碟裡還找得到一些）和演唱會（CD也有），她仍會應觀眾要求不厭其煩地演唱「彩虹曲」。在許多觀眾心目中，她永遠是桃樂絲，而益發滄桑的歌喉，則唱出了「彩虹曲」的另一種況味------彷彿是對往昔美好純真的追懷------這時候的「彩虹曲」，才真要教聽者落淚了。

1969年、年僅47歲的茱蒂嘉蘭因服食安眠藥過量去世。

1963年、她所主演的最後一部電影就叫做《我仍能歌唱》

從這個角度想著
人生就如同下棋
只是

傾斜的語言在火焰中找到共鳴
消失的泡沫飄動尼采的靈魂
花朵緩慢而哀傷地枯萎

寶寶在懷裡輕吐安詳
正是流星雨的降臨
暗色的聖殿

潮濕的雙眼

留住萬千個祈願

把自己做好--周圍的人就會好

這是很珍貴的話

也是對目前的我最好的建議

而且它是從弟弟的口裡說出來的
"雖然他是在昨晚的康熙來了上聽到的"

但是這樣一句平實的話--卻很觸動我的心

已經下了四天的大雨--氣象預報雨會"嚇"到星期六

這首詩--詩淋淋的--與大家分享

那是一場滂沱大雨之後的黃昏 / 吳聖麟
─────────────────────────────────
　那是一場滂沱大雨之後的黃昏
　窗外的烏雲凝固成水彩畫裡的配角
　我在冰冷的房間裡走動著
　線香的花粉味漂流著殘餘的氣息在這寂靜的空氣中
　我曾試圖鎮定自己的情緒
　卻仍舊像隻瘋癲的蚱蜢
　跳啊跳啊
　跳到心都沒了魂
　一定是那裡出了錯
　我自個兒呢喃了起來
　手中的菸未曾停歇過
　打字聲咿咿達達的敲打著
　中斷時我呆滯的望向窗外
　看那冰冷又潮濕的氣息
　雖然景色並不討我歡喜
　但它依然給了我一個微笑
　讓乾涸的眼眸呼吸青春僅有的熱情

　那是一場滂沱大雨之後的黃昏
　我追溯起蔓延在胸口的曲子
　一首沒有音符的曲子
　它包裹著層層疊疊的心語
　心語封閉了一個個不同的故事
　那是每個人都擁有的酸痛與歡笑的故事
　偶爾我會取出幾枚來舔舐品嘗
　這樣才不至於遺忘它們
　但它們卻壓的胸口越來越紊亂
　紊亂到無法思索歲月的痕跡
　以及該用什麼姿態來證明生命存在的意義
　我嘗試著走出臨摹他人生活的方式卻徒然而返
　心惢漸漸黯然妥協
　於是我還是回到了壓抑自我的軀體內
　隨著融化的烏雲
　走進我曾拋棄的世界
　在那場滂沱大雨之後的黃昏

故事從一件開襟外套說起，前一件簡約、含蓄、實穿的 Snap Cardigan ，在 agnes b. 的巧筆之下，不僅揭開它在時尚歷史的序幕，二十五年後還是不變的 Snap Cardigan，有了新的生命。

喜愛法國品牌 agnes b. 的人，絕對不會錯過她的按扣式卡地根外套 Snap Cardigan。這一件傳奇的經典款，是 agnes b.在 1972 年的一個夏天，突發奇想的把一件汗衫剪成兩截後，再縫上一排壓按鈕扣而成，看起來好像文藝復興時期，不論男女或小孩，一年四季都實穿的合身衣服。
妙不可言喻的關係
agnes b.分析 Snap Cardigan 上市 25 年仍歷久不衰的理由，是她的不變，簡約、含蓄、持久，容易搭配又適合任何場合，簡單不過的道理。 25 年來，agnes b. 為了保留理想中的模式，她並未在款式上做過多修改，而是在布料、鈕扣和顏色做變化，也使得 Snap Cardigan 一直隨著時代前進。
無國界的視野
agnes b. 去年敲門進駐上海和北京，正式開啟了中國大門，這一項展出選在北京的意義自然更加不同。更特別的是為了本次的中國展出，除了 61 張 agnes b. 個人收藏的作品外，她再邀請五位中國知名攝影師，榮榮與映裏、何浩、艾尼瓦爾、傅文斯荔及周越等人，加入主題拍攝，重新詮釋中國人眼中的 Snap Cardigan，展現無國界的視野。12 月中旬北京的這一場首展，地點選在朝陽區大山子藝術區的 798 SPACE ( 時尚空間 )，一個很類似台北市八德路華山藝文特區的地方，同樣是由一區廢棄的舊工廠改設的藝文活動空間，空間裡還保留少部分兵工廠的儀器和架構，甚至連當年的愛國標語都還斑駁的印在牆上，和本次的展出內容與派對氣氛，形成強烈又有趣的對比。agnes b 經常熱情支持全球藝術創作與展出，也創出 agnes b. 獨特的企業文化，未來這個活動也將會到台北與香港等地巡迴展出， agnes b. 公司正在尋找展出空間與檔期，屆時我們就能親眼目睹到這一項極具巧思的國際時尚攝影展。
Always Snap Cardigan　故事從一件開襟外套說起

前一件簡約、含蓄、實穿的Snap
cardigan，在agnes b.的巧筆之下，不僅揭開它在時尚歷史的序幕，二十五年後還是不變的Snap Cardigan，有了新的生命。

喜愛法國品牌agnes b.的人，絕對不會錯過她的按扣式卡地根外套Snap Cardigan。這一件傳奇的經典款，是agnes b.在1972年的一個夏天，突發奇想的把一件汗衫剪成兩截後，再縫上一排壓按鈕扣而成，看起來好像文藝復興時期，不論男女或小孩，一年四季都實穿的合身衣服。若干年後，這一款Snap
Cardigan正式上市，立刻成了agnes b.招牌款之一。

agnes b.認為不同的人穿著Snap Cardigan，都有個人不同的味道；就像不同的攝影師玩鏡頭，拍起來也是各自有不同的風格。這妙不可言喻的關係，促使她日後邀集歐洲名家攝影大師如Christian Milovanoff, Loulou Picasso, Steve Heitt, Fran_oise Huguier 和Dominique Nabokov等，拍下他們眼中的Snap Cardigan，照片並於1996年在巴黎舉辦的攝影展覽中展出。而這一項名為「agnes b.. Snap
Cardigan」攝影展覽，也隨著法國政府去年10月開始，在中國舉辦的「中法文化年」裡的「法國時尚一百年」項目中，來到北京做巡迴展出。

俄羅斯冰遊食記麵包與鹽不僅是俄羅斯人生活中不可或缺的食物，也是他們用來在迎賓儀式中捧著，象徵富足、健康的祝福。走進全台首家正統俄羅斯餐廳SALT & BREAD裡，首先映入眼簾的便是滿室印象中傳統的俄羅斯紅與沙皇綠，溫暖地包裹著北國鄉情。由於特殊的地理環境背景，造就了東西方交融的俄國飲食文化，來到SALT & BREAD不僅可品嚐到用黑麥製成、極富嚼勁的俄式麵包配湯，也有夾著魚子醬、香料炒肉的大煎餅Blini，甚至還有高麗菜、甜菜、玉米、酸黃瓜等各式醃菜，以及匈牙利燉牛肉、基輔酥炸雞、南瓜雞肉湯、羅宋牛尾義大利甜菜麵和豬肉腸…等精采主食。店內並設有零下20℃的冰宮，飯後還可以向服務生借件雪衣穿上、點杯Frozen Vodka窩在裡頭品嚐調酒或舔食冰淇淋，與俄羅斯樂團一同歡唱互動，那份恍如置身冰天雪地般的溫觸絕對能讓人興奮不已！

　　朝陸地跳高跳遠

　　有一座鹹水湖
蓄滿過往的回憶
記得多年前　　許許多多的鯨魚標本串掛在人類頸項
火山在水裡--海水全部包圍
　　擱淺後
　　索性反撲化作海嘯
　　釋放所有的壓抑
吐著氣泡

　　他們記得

　　鐫刻自己的鞋印
　　在日光大道展覽意象

　　據滿門口各樣的鞋
　　當初以為能夠封鎖

大地作為母親
高廈哺育黃昏

試圖收納一切可辨識的吮允節奏

混亂中我獨自
靜坐城市深林
風進駐葉隙
清晨欲睡又醒

午後自彩虹殘餘方向傳來
企圖支撐殘餘的寧靜

草末的氣味像
巨大結構中的暮色灰燼
逐漸成形的氣旋互現
過境深林

緩慢，無夢
靜默的風暴中放牧著自己
放牧著自己一如我的脈搏

我的思緒
正過境藍色防波堤

搶救哈伯太空望遠鏡

要派人去修理出了毛病的太空望遠鏡，風險可能太大。解決方案：派個機器人去。

大家都喜愛的哈伯太空望遠鏡（Hubble Space Telescope）可能終於出現了一線生機。2004年夏末，美國航太總署（NASA）取消了一個曾經引起重大爭議的決定：淘汰老舊的哈伯太空望遠鏡；並要進一步想辦法讓美國國會同意撥出約十億美元，以在2007年之前，計畫和發射機器人維修任務。

搶救哈伯任務的主要人選，是個重1,663公斤的雙臂機器人，名叫Dextre，由位在加拿大布萊姆頓市（Brampton）的MD
Robotics公司製造。這個機器人的尺寸跟一輛小車差不多，有多關節（multi-jointed）的機械臂，上面配備了一套電動輕量導航攝影機，以及修理工具。Dextre原本是設計來進行國際太空站（International
Space
Station）外側的精密修理工作，所以已經具備大部分修繕哈伯太空望遠鏡所需要的科技。

Dextre機器人是由地球或是地球軌道上的太空人控制，可用伸縮馬達套筒扳手，和像手一樣的鉗口，抓住各種東西──從小型工具到重達六百公斤的裝備。可進行的任務則包括開關工具箱、換電池，以及精確地調整物體的位置。

航太總署可能要明年初才會做出和Dextre有關的正式決定，但這是場和時間的競賽，因為哈伯太空望遠鏡的精密對準迴轉儀和電池，預計只能用到2008年前。除此之外，哈伯太空望遠鏡的一個主要儀器：成像光譜儀（imaging spectrograph，就是用來觀察遙遠星系和黑洞的儀器），今年八月突然發生故障。─andrew fazekas

the best part 旅行最美好的部分

旅行的記憶

現在我要說的事情，可能會讓你十分吃驚。

旅行最美好的部分，多半不是發生在旅行途中。旅行畢竟就只是旅行罷了，沒有什麼大不了的。

旅行真正牽動人的，其實是出發前的期待，如果不相信的話，回想旅行前到書店去尋找旅遊指南時，那種興奮的感受，還有出發前一天晚上，輾轉難以成眠的心情，還有飛機降落以前，完全想像不出來會看到什麼景象的緊張，對於旅行無窮無盡的種種期待，才是旅行最美好的部分，一旦旅程真正開始，距離結束也就不太遠了。

如果還有什麼可以與旅行前的期待相提並論的，大概就只有旅行之後沉澱的回憶了，事過境遷以後，在電視新聞或是雜誌報紙上，偶爾看到自己曾經踏上的遙遠土地，那些熟悉而又陌生的臉孔，有時候甚至不敢確定，自己真的曾經如此大膽地行走到過地球的彼端。

每一次回憶的時候，好像就會看到一些原本沒有注意的細節；每一次重新看相簿的時候，似乎當時週邊的氣味，陽光的強度，小販叫賣的聲音，又都一湧而上，說是夢卻又如此真實，說是真的嘛，又那麼不可思議地遙遠。

面對旅行的記憶，讓我們的旅程，無止無盡地可以繼續下去，永遠沒有結束的一天，直到我們不得不離開這個世界的那一天為止。

帶著感官去旅行

要如何形容旅行對我個人的感受呢? 這樣的要求，就好像小學時候作文課要形容母親對我的愛同樣無理，但是如果一定要形容，應該就像是劉鶚在「老殘遊記」裡形容老殘對於美好音樂的感受:「…五臟六腑像熨斗熨過，無一處不伏貼; 三萬六千個毛孔，像吃了人參果，無一個毛孔不暢快。」

而提供旅行這個大舞台的大千世界，則應該像是曹若冰在《龍騰谷》第十六章—『蟄伏老魔盡出籠』裡形容的美女:

『…就算你是最淫惡的人，見了她也會像孫悟空吃了人參果似的，全身七千二百六十五個毛孔，無一不舒暢，心眼中，再也不會有一絲雜念了。』

無論全身的毛孔是三萬六千個，八萬四千個，還是七千兩百六十五個，這都不重要，重要的是我們在旅行的過程當中，是否能夠張開我們的每一個毛孔，用眼睛詳看，用雙耳傾聽，用雙腳去走，用心去感受，用指尖去觸摸，用鼻頭去嗅聞，用味蕾去品嘗，因為如果每個人的身體都是一個聖殿，那麼旅行大概就是我們能夠獻給身體最上乘的貢品了。

太陽馬戲團與海鮮自助餐:拉斯維加斯表演紀食

文/褚士瑩

拉斯維加斯向來是個喜新厭舊五光十色的人工美女，一有了點皺紋，就會被立刻熨平，皮膚顯出一點疲態，就要立刻換膚，如果連賭場的耳語，像是哪一家的吃角子老虎機開台率今天早晨七點到九點調高零點零七，都可以秒為單位迅速地在幾十萬賭徒之間流竄，沒有什麼是可以永久屹立不搖的，這是為什麼每一家大型賭場，永遠在打造新的摩天大樓，場場爆滿如席琳狄翁的演唱會，也只上幾個月就換上另外一個巨星Elton John，在這裡，誰會想到拉斯維加斯可以無限期地每天上演馬戲團呢? 而且竟然還不只一個馬戲團，而是三個!

拉斯維加斯總是讓我想起新疆，卻非兩者都是沙漠的緣故。

我記得第一次到新疆號稱全中亞最大的市集時，觸目所及看到每一頭騾子拉著的，要不是整車綠色的新疆葡萄，不然就是一堆堆像小山似的香辛料乾核果，幾十幾百幾千家，都在賣一模一樣的東西，甚至一路上相連十幾攤，根本就是同一家人，一人顧一攤。

頭十分鐘的興奮，一個小時後漸漸被迷路的恐懼所沖淡，在這個怎麼走都走不完，下一個路口好像半小時前才經過，怎麼樣都走不出去的魔法森林裡，我忍不住在想，究竟是因為每個人都賺錢，所以才賣同樣的東西；還是每個人都賣一樣的東西，所以大家都賣不出去?

那樣的印象，一直停留在記憶的隱密角落，從來沒有再拿出來想，直到我第一次去了拉斯維加斯，走在所有大型賭場飯店都坐落著的唯一主街道上，那種置身新疆市集的感覺突然又回來了。

一家家坐落在沙漠中的豪華賭場，沿著幾哩長的路一字排開，走進每間賭場裡面，都有霓虹閃亮的招牌，豪華俗艷的外型，上萬個車位，上萬台吃角子老虎，八千間房間，五百家商店，二十四小時吃到飽的自助餐，還有幾座同時容納幾千人的劇場，這樣的地方對於不好賭的我來說，一家或十家或一百一千家，基本上是幾乎沒有什麼區別的。

其實我並不是唯一到拉斯維加斯卻不賭的人，我身邊有些好朋友，尤其是服裝設計師，或是專業編舞，都把這個沙漠中的人工綠洲，當作是人類有史以來最美好的表演舞台，每一天的行程，都被看各式各樣的表演所排滿，從芭芭拉史翠珊到艾頓強(Elton John)的演唱會，從起源巴黎的紅磨坊上空秀到來自紐約的Blue Men Group的外百老匯劇場，從室內的彼得潘到戶外的金銀島，好像每天除了吃和睡的時間外，都在各賭場大樓間穿梭，從一個表演趕場到另一個現場表演，和樓下紅著眼睛盯著賭桌不放的賭徒比起來，彷彿拉斯維加斯還有另外一個和賭場完全平行的秘密世界，叫做創意人的秘密充電站。
在我那物質與娛樂相對乏善可陳的鄉下童年，看現場表演的機會少得可憐，十歲以前唯一看過的專業大型演出，與很多鄉下孩子相同，就是巡迴的馬戲團表演。那一回還盼了整整兩年。然而，小小的拉斯維加斯，卻每天都上演三個馬戲團的戲碼，那就是Bellagio賭場的【O】，金銀島賭場(Treasure Island)的【Mystère】，以及紐約紐約賭場(New York New York Hotel & Casino)的【ZUMANITY】，更讓人吃驚的，這三個馬戲團，都直屬於來自加拿大魁北克的太陽劇團(Cirque du Soleil)。

小時候印象中的馬戲團，除了老虎獅子侏儒馴獸師，水晶球裡美女頭蜘蛛身的怪物，最為迷人的，其實不是空中飛人，而是那種吉普賽浪跡天涯的生活方式，前台的帳棚和後台大大小小的拖車卡車，就是他們居無定所的有力證據，好像一晚結束了，就騎著馬消失在路的盡頭，沒有人知道他們什麼時候來，或是什麼時候走，但是一九八四年結合街頭表演者成立的太陽劇團，卻完全不是留著吉普賽血液的那種馬戲團，因此自然也不用在沙漠中紮營，過著行蹤飄邈來去無蹤的生活，三家賭場都為太陽劇團，量身建造豪華的劇院，並且以各自的劇目來命名，售票口排隊的民眾，賣的是一兩年後特定場次的預售票，這種與賭城精神幾乎違背的「永恆」，似乎時時在宣告著太陽劇團時代的來臨。
到2004年才滿四十五歲的劇團創辦人Guy Laliberté，自己也是走鋼索吞火把的特技出身的，但是能夠將劇團從二十年前創團時的七十來人，擴展到現在將近三千個來自四十個不同國家的團員，全球九十個城市裡，已經有四千萬人看過他們的九支作品，其中光是去年2003一年，估計就有七百萬名觀眾，太陽劇團成功的原因，是因為在馬戲團融入那麼多文化和藝術的元素，甚至讓人忘了這是一個如假包換的馬戲團，就像大家都忘了賭城其實不是一個真正的城市。

有人為了看表演到賭城，整天來回於劇場之間；同樣的，也有人是為了吃到飽的豪華自助餐到賭城的，成天奔波在各家賭場的餐廳。兩者結合的時候，得到的賭城經驗會是這樣的:

Bellagio賭場的【O】劇場，用舞蹈、游泳、雜技、小丑四個方式，分別闡述『地水火風』的抽象概念，大膽地將一個沒有故事的表演，成功地用一百五十美金一個座位的價錢，販賣給習慣於好萊塢劇情的觀光客。Bellagio二十美元吃到飽的自助餐廳，無限供應大王蟹腿，鴨胸，鮮蝦，冰淇淋和各種西方人會吃的假中國菜，被觀光客票選為全賭城最棒的自助餐。

【Mystère】是太陽劇團最早進駐賭城的劇目，從一九九三年上檔在金銀島賭場到現在，無論是內容或是模仿古希臘競技場的場地，都成為拉斯維加斯表演的經典。十年來一成不變的自助餐菜色，卻沒有得到同樣的成功，去金銀島看表演的客人，通常都在隔壁的海市蜃樓賭場(Mirage)吃飽了才去，因為這裡的晚餐下午三點就開始供應了，大可連吃四個鐘頭再去看馬戲。

【ZUMANITY】用時裝、音樂、舞蹈，呈現包括同性戀等禁忌的親密話題，也是史無前例以「性與性慾」為主軸的馬戲演出。性的主題，最適合搭配巴黎賭場(Paris)的氛圍，五個取餐台分別代表法國五個省份，食客分坐在四百個法國鄉村風格的座位，吃著羊排，豬肋排，鮭魚，法式海鮮湯，野蘑菇，干貝，包著新鮮草莓和藍莓的可麗餅，奶油泡芙，充滿了催情的作用。

雖然有好幾個網站，致力於評鑑最好的賭城海鮮自助餐，並且提供觀光客各種撈本的絕招，但是只有在真正坐下來吃的時候，才會發現除了名字不同，裝飾風格迥異，吃到飽的食物走到哪裡，吃起來其實都差不多。

連看了三齣太陽劇團以後，也才發現，原來跟我小時候看的流動馬戲團，真正的區別只是半人半蜘蛛的噱頭，換成了半文化半藝術，但是馬戲表演就是馬戲表演，沒有走鋼索吞火把，就很難好看。

太陽劇團深知這一點。

各賭場的吃到飽自助餐也深知這一點。

脫掉各自爭奇鬥艷的外衣，拉斯維加斯看似競爭激烈的十多家超大型賭場，其實都掌握在兩三個集團裡，拿著這家的房間鑰匙，甚至可以在另外一家吃飯記帳，就是最明顯的證據。既然如此，為什麼還要大費周章讓人相信每一間賭場，都是獨一無二的?

原因可能很簡單: 如果新疆市集上，規定一家人只能擺一攤，或是同樣的貨色通通都得集中成一攤販賣，那麼每天還會吸引幾十萬人來買賣嗎?新疆市集上每一車的葡萄乾杏仁果，在我的眼裡，或許沒有任何的區別，但是在買家的眼裡或心裡，或許確能分辨其中的奧妙。

不懂星象天文的人，看著滿天星斗，除了『哇!好多星星!』以外，能不能具體說出什麼道理? 拉斯維加斯的賭桌，馬戲表演，自助餐，說穿了，不過就是和繁星同樣的一種存在。

我向你習得
　黑色
餘光中那小小的巷子
你為我建構--沒燈沒火的盛世

我往裡頭望見金色味道
　你握緊我的手
以汗水將夏天的臉洗淨
將哀傷的標點符號脫去
徬徨邊境
驃勇的鐵騎領出了深色的風雪
紫色，你信任我駕馭舞台時散發的浪漫

岸邊垂釣--你準時走進我
銀亮的白帶魚
　在釣竿上咬去了命運的黑色礁石
習得一個「井」字--我往裡頭望見極深的夢
像一顆永恆的行星

想你--定義了無懈可擊的黑
　領著我的時候你刻上屬於我的辨識記號
戲份缺乏燭光舞台--你邀我
超越了陰影

　　藍色--任性的靈魂
　為了掙得--雙倍份量童年
我向你學習寡言的男子氣概
火焰紅的語言投訴
　藍色守住的夜
起霧
　英雄泊靠崖岸，只容下
　渴望這安祥的觸摸--茁壯鋼鐵的羽翼
強健的金色

　白色----存放在髮間的儲藏庫
　佈滿早暮四溢的犁溝你額頭上溫柔的咖啡調
殲滅嘲諷的群架--回歸無雨的廣場

一首首抒情詩--飽滿色調的墨鏡之內
青澀的揮毫一筆
　成熟的色彩學
　而我只，越出你的背影之外

　　噤口，待我滌身演示創世紀

　　禱詞一字一形在空間錯落
　　字音迴響飄盪在另一個時空
　　這裡純然寂靜
　　給了十指神奇的力量

　　十指伸展胸前繞圈
　　黑暗被火切開，於是第一天有了光
　　姆指搭上小指，另三指伸直劃下
　　第二天，水流憑空流瀉而出
　　第三天、第四天…以至第七天
　　合掌、伸指、虛點，書空，於是植物生長、動物奔馳於陸海上星辰下
　　永恆與瞬間的對望不超過指間的距離
　　日月年在數吋間流轉消逝生滅循環
　　輕輕一揮
　　我能呼風能喚雨
　　彈指，十指揶揄口舌的笨拙與無能

　　噤口，箕指而下，於是花落無聲
　　記得綻放時的芳芬依舊襲人
　　噤口，迴指曳下，於是月落無聲
　　無風的原野星空留有些許不及拾走的銀色
　　音聲也被全然遺忘
　　指著牙齒，我宣告這世間沒有黑雪的存在
　　撫著臉頰，把粉紅染上桃花的花瓣
　　劃著嘴唇，於是熱情被注入了年少的鮮血
　　在週身循環

　　注視十指婆娑滑過的軌跡
　　思緒被補綴----無論形上或形下
　　都不再支離隱晦
　　手勢翻掌收攏再一引
　　虛空中，有優雅不喧嘩的聲音
　　有風的絮絮顏色
　　輪指，時空無盡流轉。

秘密花園

文/褚士瑩

讀者朋友Sue ( shhwt1012@yahoo.com.tw )有次讀完一篇我寫的關於花的文章以後，寫了封e-mail給我，告訴我她的心中，其實也有一片秘密花園。

她說從小，舉家移居國外幾十年，沒想到後來一個人嫁回了台灣，孤單中，再次的學習人生令一個階段的成長。

『母親，是個愛花人。』Sue說，『國外家中的後花園全盛時期，曾經有300多株的各式各樣的蘭花，這還不包括前面花園的各種顏色與品種的玫瑰。外加偷渡過海的台灣品種果樹。任何植物，儘管已經奄奄一息，只要到我母親雙手中，百分百一定起死回生!』

『或許，就是因為這後天的環境，我也喜歡拈花惹草一番。雖然我沒有像母親那樣，有雙綠手(green fingers)，有本事把寬闊的客廳變成龐大叢林，可是，看著台灣的千奇百艷的花與植物，忍不住還是會買小盆栽回家好好的養著。甚至，有時候，也會在假日花市買些新鮮的花放在家裡或辦公室供養。每隔兩三天幫它們換水時，享受片刻的幸福，彷彿回到在家的那段時間，幫母親換那些花花草草的水，加上那些母親精心製作的日式插花。』

我在許多移民美國的中國人家，都看過Sue描述的這種客廳，外表和四周美國鄰居，看不出什麼區別的洋房裡，一走進客廳，卻完全像是誤闖了江南小鎮的蘭園，除了幾十盆幾百盆各式各樣的蘭花，甚至西方完全看不到的東方茉莉，牡丹，金桔，桂花，枇杷，桑梓，朝天椒，曇花，佛手，還有奇奇怪怪的種種東方草藥，無論品種貴賤，似乎只要是東方的植物，就在這裡備受禮遇，就連飯桌也都讓給時令開得正好的花草，作為伸展的舞台。

這些漂洋過海的中國人，和自己的兒女，往往連語言都不能溝通，更不要說是貼心了，所以唯一能夠對話寄情的，似乎就是老家偷偷夾帶來的種子，培育成的蒔花蒔草，不知不覺就淹沒了整個房子，我常常在想，滿溢整個屋子的，究竟是花草，還是鄉愁。

安靜地看著父母的鄉愁長大的孩子，長大以後，無可避免地像Sue這樣，自己也成了異鄉人，才開始懂得父母當時的心情。

『有時候，趁著搭捷運上班前的10分鐘，看著我四坪小小陽台上的二三十盆小花草，輕輕的對著它們呢喃。週末下午，天氣不錯的時候，我也會捧杯茶或咖啡會蹲在我的花草旁，細細的觀察他們的成長;我慢慢的體會到母親那時候，可以一個人靜靜地看個他的花園一個早上，一個下午，也不會厭煩的心情。』

『這些小片刻的獨自分享自己私有的時間，也是一股不同的鄉愁啊!不同的環境，不同的時空，是否，當初母親看著她的花園，也是在品嚐著這股對親人的錐心思念!?』

其實每個人的生活中，或是心中，都有著一片秘密花園，現實之中越是漂泊，就越疼惜沒有長腳，凡事都得靠人照顧的植物。是不是看著故鄉來的花草扎根，就算身在異鄉，好像也抓緊了腳下的土地，共同有了某種踏實感?

或許有一天，我也會在花草之間，找到屬於我的答案。

未親即的異地⋯⋯）。夏夜微熱，我們或許剛剛共吃完一碗可口的雪花冰自外歸家。我們
都累了。我鋪著床，而她則正挽起頭髮，背對著我反手解開她背後胸罩的釘扣……
　我始終有著那種，她的軀體正在黃昏晚霞般的調色裡描摩著一圈
光亮的錯覺。我總是忍不住上前輕輕抱住她在那樣的光度裡濛亮溫柔的瑩白色身體。我
至今仍清楚記得那肌膚上雕塑的許多細節。像是在漆黑無光的房間裡愛撫著一尊全套和
服的白面浮世繪美人木偶，在某些時刻，每一下手底的碰觸，都會引來一連串細緻豐
富，如夢境一般曲折幽深的回應⋯⋯

　但後來我們還是分手了。那時她便不肯承認她曾經真的喜歡過
我。至今她甚且為了某些我並不清楚的原因而不肯再見我。我後來時常無可自抑地懷念
著那些短暫的甜蜜時光，但卻總是更清楚地聽見它們在漸漸暗下的光度裡乾燥沈默地物
化老去的聲音。
　
　（彷彿那尊全套和服的白面浮世繪美人木偶，因為某些你不知道
的、內在的錯誤結構，在每一個滿是愛意的微細動作裡，突然從襟口、腰際這些你想像
不到的連接處無聲無息地斷裂。
　咔。）

　（所以你是不是理所當然地以為，那所有在育嬰室裡擺動著胖手
胖腳的可愛嬰孩，都被好好地裝在從你身邊一直排列到遠處雪白的牆邊壁角，那許許多
多透明的玻璃保溫箱裡？）

　後來你發現，那並不是一間育嬰室。
　（還是太亮了。再調暗一些好嗎？）

　像是那些我始終不敢直視定焦的暗晦細節。那個戴著墨鏡和寬邊
軟帽的，在攝影機鏡頭前控訴醫院的少婦。你看見她聲淚俱下，悲傷莫名。你看見她拿
起手絹在那張完全哭花了的臉上頻頻拭淚。你聽見她的語音因持續的哽咽與呼吸困難而
如蛛網般模糊斷裂。他們怎麼可以這樣對待我的孩子？
　他們怎麼可以這樣對待我的孩子？
　孩子死了已經很可憐了，他們怎麼可以這樣對待我的孩子？

　奇怪的是，儘管攝影記者的鎂光燈閃個不停，這現場卻像是沒有
任何其他光源設備似地，一整片都陷落在如洋菜膠般腴軟濃稠的黑暗裡。
　於是你只能從周遭間歇閃現的鎂光燈強光中看見這蕩闊空間的情
景。
　啪啪。啪。啪啪啪。
　（你心驚地看著那依次被焚熾的白光打亮分割的不連續動作。像
一幅接著一幅在流逝的光陰暗巷中被秘密定格的細節。那裡面所有的物事竟都在邊緣輪
廓處漫漶著一圈若隱若現的藍綠色寒光⋯⋯）
　突然你發現，在你四周腰部的高度，一方接著一方像白面浮世繪
人偶般列隊擺置著的，竟是許許多多在裡面都丟棄了嬰孩屍體的，透明的玻璃箱。

　啪啪。啪啪啪。
　許許多多的嬰孩屍體。藍綠色的寒光。啪。如拳頭般皺縮的臉。
啪。如老去的樹根般爬滿了摺痕亂紋的脖頸。啪。柔軟稀薄的胎髮。啪。如失水的藤蔓
般枯萎彎曲的四肢。啪。死灰蠟白的僵硬皮膚。啪。啪啪。
　然而或許因為玻璃箱的尺寸實在太小了吧，所有嬰孩的屍體竟皆
被迫拗折成各種離奇古怪的姿勢。你看見他們腳弓抵著頭顱，足脛反抵著脊背。他們死
灰的臉長出扭曲的嘴唇。他們的軀體如分繁錯位的血脈長出暗藍絳黑的手腳。他們弓背
屈膝，環抱著在自己灰白色皮膚上四處冒出的腫脹淤紫。你看見他們軀體上每一處關節
每一處接榫，都似乎為了被塞進那許許多多自你四周一直排列到雪白壁角的，尺寸不合
的玻璃箱裡，而被彎曲摺疊，痙攣成各式各樣不可思議的，劇痛的角度⋯⋯
　他們怎麼可以這樣對待我的孩子？他們怎麼可以這樣對待我的孩
子？他們怎麼可以這樣對待我的孩子？他們怎麼可以這樣對待我的孩子？
　啪啪。啪。
　未及長大而在持續曝閃的強光中瞬間老去變形的，嬰孩的臉。像
是在某個幽暗國度被所有人知曉且非法容許的秘密。（你甚至看見，那雪白的粉牆彷彿
在曝閃的瞬間漫漶膨脹，長出無數空洞發泡的破碎壁癌⋯⋯）
　孩子死了已經很可憐了，他們怎麼可以這樣對待我的孩子？

　（光圈關閉。曝閃停止。全部，全部都暗下來了⋯⋯）
　我記得在和L剛剛分手的那段時間裡，我總會在某些精神逸散漂
流的恍神時刻看見一些，彷彿從來便未曾被人窺看的畫面。
　彷彿在夢裡。彷彿我在夢裡穿透了某層原先不可跨越但仍持續繃
薄的皮膜而看見了那些。那是像BBS上talk功能一般上下分割的畫面，一行行逐漸浮出
的字句像某些旋轉著的白色物事依次閃現在面前。我原先以為那是我和L在talk（之前
在某些不能見面的日子裡，我們有時會半開玩笑地以練打字為藉口在BBS上talk），於
是我便起勁地敲著鍵盤。但後來發現不是。
　那是L和其他一些我不認識的人的談話。像是隔著門板艱難地諦
聽著某些模糊破碎的異國語音。彷彿在夢中的我完全無法理解他們在說些什麼。我記得
那些時候我始終徹夜不眠，清醒無比地盯著那被各式各樣陌生的光點和色塊分割遞切
的，L和別人talk時變幻流轉的螢幕。　
　
　我持續在深夜那間清冷空曠的房間裡寂寞地敲著鍵盤。

赴宴 / 謝慈笄
─────────────────────────────────
　愛情，是盛宴也是幻滅；
　赴宴，卻是唯一的救贖。
　——CharlesBaxter〈愛情盛宴〉
　
　蝙蝠送來請柬的那個黃昏
　你正在窗邊，觀測
　炊煙傳送的短訊，推敲韻腳
　收集每一片掉落的詞彙，試著
　辨認意象的品種
　
　誘惑是這麼開始的：
　「這將是個無二獨一的夢境
　帷幔飄揚、燃燭如晝
　管風琴誦念咒文的時候，只要
　你加冕以我的名姓，簽署交換青春的誓言
　當白鴿振翼，你猶疑的舞步便能
　丟棄無眠與憂鬱的解答
　滑翔過字句之謎」
　
　你揣摩著
　思索在星星尚未點燈之前，趁熱
　採下那顆紅彤蘋果，垂落薰衣草味的長辮
　允諾夜色的邀請走進森林深處，並且遵守
　不在分岔路口設置隱喻的約定
　獨自步入藤蔓圍繞的城
　
　或許，在這些筆跡曖昧寓意難解的象徵背後
　潛藏著吞噬理智的魔鬼，又或許
　有半枚靈魂埋伏在
　蛛網之後，瞄準上弦之箭，靜待
　吻合缺口的詩
　然而你什麼也不知道
　你不知道什麼時候
　吊橋將嘎吱升起，壁爐中火焰躍然
　你不知道面具背後，是笑、或者眼淚
　你不知道宴會的答案：非是？是非？
　
　羽毛筆眨眼的時間，折下瓶裡
　含苞的那支玫瑰，你寫：
　承蒙邀約，將往如前。

2005金球獎／李奧納多獲最佳男主角　希拉蕊史汪奪影后
2005/01/17 11:43

金球獎劇情類男主角由呼聲最高的「神鬼玩家」李奧納多奪下，從之前的奶油小生到努力成為演技派一線男星，李奧納多迪卡皮歐終於受到肯定。最佳女主角則由「登峰造擊」的希拉蕊史汪打敗妮可基嫚等人勇奪影后，這是她在5年前「男孩別哭」之後，第二度登上劇情類影后寶座。
李奧納多在拿到男主獎後，除了感謝身邊的親友和工作伙伴，還不忘呼籲聲援南亞振災活動。
希拉蕊史汪在片中扮演一個勇敢但又心懷恐懼的女子，她認為自己一無是處，最後她通過努力，以一種不讓人討厭，不謙卑的方式終於成功了。
「神鬼玩家」是敘述美國史上第一位億萬富豪霍華休斯的故事，他在美國歷史上是名氣勝過總統的大亨，富可敵國，事業版圖涵蓋航空業、賭城飯店業和好萊塢電影業。
提到「神鬼玩家」這部電影的起源，要從李奧納多狄卡皮歐說起，他在少年時期看過霍華休斯傳記後就念念不忘，希望可以將這個在美國歷史上獨特的人物故事搬上銀幕。這也是狄卡皮歐繼「刺殺尼克森」後，親自參與監製的第二部電影。
演而優則導的資深影星柯林伊斯威特所導演的「登峰造擊，這部影片的希拉蕊史汪則勇奪最佳女主角獎。這是一部動作拳擊片【 Million
Dollar Baby-登峰造擊-暫譯】總共獲得5項提名，在台灣則由福斯電影公司代理進口。

backstage3

2005-01-17T21:59:00.000+08:00

8:40 p.m.: Where does Ian McShane, Globe
winner as Best Actor, TV Drama, think he is? The bleepin' set of HBO's
Deadwood? He's been back here 10 seconds, and he's already dropped the
F-word--he then apologized with a heartfelt Jesus Christ.

8:41 p.m.: McShane holds his Globe in
his...oh, never mind. If somebody hoists the thing up with their toes, I'll let
you know.

8:43 p.m.: "Have you seen some of the
[favored McShane expletive] ties out there?" asks the non-buttoned-down actor,
who himself went with "Euro black tie." Translation: no tie.

8:45 p.m.: Best Actress, TV Drama Series
winner Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) is
wearing Vera Wang "and a lot of happiness."

8:46 p.m.: Hargitay asks a friend to get
out of her eye line, lest she start crying.

8:47 p.m.: Nice try. Hargitay almost starts
crying--again.

8:55
p.m.: A reporter cleverly ties in Jason Bateman's birthday last
Friday with his Globe win as Best Actor, TV Musical or Comedy Series for Fox's
Arrested Development and asks if the trophy was "the ultimate birthday
present." (For the record: No, it wasn't.)

8:56 p.m.: I'm afraid it's become a
sickness. Bateman's soberly talking about the challenge of finding viewers for
his low-rated series, and all I'm thinking is, Left hand. He's holding his Globe
in his left hand.

8:58 p.m.: "Being with you guys is the best
part of my evening," the wonderfully observant Bateman says.

9:01 p.m.: Annette Bening, Best Actress in
a Musical or Comedy winner for Being Julia, is back here now, patiently
listening to a reporter describe her movie as being "like a Hungarian
feast."

9:02 p.m.: By the way, it's not just your
TV--Bening looks great. And, um, she holds her Globe in her left hand, with an
assist from her right. (I'll get help soon. I promise.)

9:03 p.m.: That ear thing Bening did
onstage? "It was a signal to my kids."

9:05 p.m.: That pizza thing that Bening
mentioned? "That's a private thing between me and my husband."

9:06 p.m.: Thought: Warren Beatty eats
pizza?

9:08 p.m.: Another thought: Bening eats
pizza?

9:09 p.m.: Last thought: How is that
possible?

9:15 p.m.: In case you're wondering,
Nip/Tuck slasher victim Julian McMahon, backstage with the cast of the
Globe-anointed Best TV Drama series, is looking no worse for his run-in with the
Carver.

9:16 p.m.: Apparently, the wild-haired and
gray-bearded Dylan Walsh only plays a looks-obsessed plastic surgeon on TV.

9:18 p.m.: I was right. McMahon takes a
look at Walsh and jokes, "I just want to know how Grizzly Adams got up
here."

9:25 p.m.: You'd never know Geoffrey Rush
has another Golden Globe at home (not to mention an Oscar) by the way he's
clutching--strangling, really--the one he just won for the HBO movie The Life
and Death of Peter Sellers.

9:25:30 p.m.: Okay, I'm not going to look
at anybody's hands for the rest of the night. Really, honestly, truly.

9:30 p.m.: I must momentarily leave my post
and the warm glow of the press-conference room in order to file my findings,
including the stuff about hands, Globes statuettes and hands on Globes.

9:36 p.m.: I'm back in the interview room,
and Glenn Close, winner of Best Actress in a Miniseries or TV Movie for The
Lion in Winter, is at the mike in mid-thought: "I don't know who my
Frederick will be."

9:36:30 p.m.: No, I do not know who Close's
Frederick's will be, nor do I know who Frederick is. But as always, I wish all
parties much happiness.

9:38 p.m.: The interview with the Best
Foreign-Language Film winner is always a challenge, especially when it's
conducted in a foreign language (Spanish) that's not your best.

9:52
p.m.: Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher is desperate. "I
just want to say thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press," says the winner of
Best Actressin a TV Musical or Comedy Series, who forgot to thank the Hollywood
Foreign Press on stage.

9:53 p.m.: Hatcher considers her Globe,
held in her, um, right hand, "just a big group trophy."

9:58 p.m.: "A year ago, I was in bed in my
pajamas, watching TV, eating popcorn," Hatcher reports, noting that one year
from now she may be "serving steak."

9:58:30 p.m.: Steak, popcorn--somebody
sounds hungry.

9:59 p.m.: I may be staring at hands, but
somebody in here is staring at feet, inquiring as to an itty-bitty bandage on
Hatcher's right foot. (For the record, she says she broke a toe.)

10 p.m.: Intrusive, unanswered and
apparently unheard question of the night: "Teri, what is this [win] going to do
for your love life?"

10:04 p.m.: Mick Jagger, winner with Dave
Stewart for Best Original Song, for Alfie's "Old Habits Die Hard," is at
the mike now. Am I supposed to throw panties at him or something?

10:06 p.m.: By the way, it's not just your
TV--Jagger really does look like he's been on the road for 40 years.

10:07 p.m.: How does Jagger stay in shape?
My first guess, "Groupies," proves incorrect. Jagger says the secret is "dancing
a lot, and going to the gym."

10:08 p.m.: Jagger is making fun of
drugs--okay, prescription drug ads, but it's still surreal.

10:15 p.m.: Finally, a break from all those
stars, badgering us with answers...

10:21 p.m.: On the TV telecast, Mike
Nichols commands Robin Williams to "come and get it"--his Cecil B. DeMille Award
for career achievement. Let the rambling, sorry, comedy begin.

10:22 p.m.: And now the winner for Audience
Reaction Shot of the Night: Kate Winslet examining her nails while Williams
rambles, er, riffs.

10:27 p.m.: Thought: What if it's not that
Robin Williams won't stop, what if it's that he can't stop?

10:28 p.m.: Hey, six minutes--not bad.
Possibly a new Robin Williams record for brevity.

10:29 p.m.: I'm in the deadline press room
now, recharging my laptop battery. Everyone in here is very quiet and serious.
Is it possible they're covering something else?

10:35 p.m.: Robin Williams alert: He's
backstage, in front of a mike.

10:38 p.m.: Something Williams did not talk
about on stage--his boots. If you must know, they're his nod to the "French
rodeo."

10:41
p.m.: Williams on his acceptance speech: "Most of that was
improvised." Oh, tell me another one...

10:42 p.m.: Yes, at 53, Williams is one of
the younger Cecil B. DeMille recipients. "It's nice when you get it when you can
remember what you've done," he says in a rare moment of utter coherence.

10:43 p.m.: Williams still on stage. In
front of the mike. Lamenting about the days when they had the "Golden Globes
dancers."

10:45 p.m.: Williams still on stage. In
front of the mike. Doing a Brando imitation.

10:45:30 p.m.: Amazing! Williams
successfully exits the backstage stage without the aid of a hook.

10:59 p.m.: On the TV telecast, The
Aviator flies off with the Globe for Best Drama. Closer, evidently,
was not a closer.

11 p.m.: The women of Desperate
Housewives convene in the press room on the occasion of their Best TV Comedy
Series win. Teri Hatcher, Marsha Cross and Eva Longoria are at one end of the
stage. Felicity Huffman and Nicollette Sheridan stand together at the other
end--no apparent distance between them.

11:05 p.m.: Desperate creator Marc
Cherry on his love life, for those who must know: "It's not as hot as Eva's."

11:11 p.m.: Sheridan makes numerous
interjections, reports that her recent engagement involved a golden retriever
and was "extremely romantic," and she asks, "What the hell does Blackwell know
anyway?"

11:13 p.m.: I reenter the press room, walk
up behind Jamie Foxx (stalled in press-conference gridlock), catch a glimpse of
the bottom of his Golden Globe for Ray, notice that the statuette is
stamped "Golden Globes," in case, I suppose, he ever forgets the name of that
shiny globe-shaped thing on his mantle.

11:15 p.m.: The stars of Sideways
are on stage, celebrating their Best Motion Picture, Comedy win.

11:16 p.m.: Reporters apparently notice
that the stars of Sideways are not exactly stars. Their press
conference is brief. Bring on Jamie Foxx.

11:17 p.m.: "I feel great for black
people," an earnest Foxx says of winning his Globe on the eve of Martin Luther
King Jr. Day.

11:17:30 p.m.: Foxx is a natural
awards-show winner, well-spoken, gracious and an able spokesman for everyone
from Ray Charles to his grandmother. And as an added bonus, he has a tattoo on
the back of his head.

11:18 p.m.: As for that tattoo, Foxx says,
"It's fake. It's not real. It's for a movie."

11:24 p.m.: Clint Eastwood at the mike,
toting his Best Director Globe for Million Dollar Baby. Mount Rushmore
talks.

11:24:30 p.m.: How reporters address Mount
Rushmore as "Mr. Eastwood."

11:25 p.m.: Mr. Eastwood, the anti-Robin
Williams, on being presented his trophy by his Miss Golden Globes daughter: "It
was great."

11:30 p.m.: Best Actor, Drama winner
Leonardo DiCaprio (The Aviator) meets the press. Am I supposed to throw
eco-friendly panties or something?

11:33
p.m.: Cleanliness is next to mogulness. If Howard Hughes hadn't
washed his hands so much, DiCaprio doesn't "think he would have been able to
achieve what he achieved."

11:35 p.m.: Like Foxx, DiCaprio is a
press-conference smoothie. All he's missing is the head tattoo.

11:37 p.m.: So, um, exactly when did Martin
Scorsese, back here to mark The Aviator's Best Drama win, start looking
like Groucho Marx?

11:39 p.m.: The inevitable Howard Hughes
question is asked: What would H.H. think of The Aviator?

11:40 p.m.: Martin Scorsese fields the H.H.
question by referencing an obscure Robert Ryan film.

11:41 p.m.: Scorsese wraps up his anecdote.
People laugh. I have no idea what he was talking about.

11:46 p.m.: Hilary Swank, winner of a Best
Actress trophy for Million Dollar Baby, is MIA. A Hollywood Foreign Press
rep says he doesn't know if she's coming backstage and asks us to wait three
minutes.

11:47 p.m.: Waiting...

11:48 p.m.: Waiting...

11:49 p.m.: We're told Swank will be with
us in 10 to 15 minutes. No rush. This party's only starting.

11:50 p.m.: In the lobby, I speed past Will
Ferrell and director Michael Bay, both apparently not waiting on Miss Swank and
both apparently on their way to a real bash. Probably one with a piñata and
everything.

12:02 a.m.: Swank's finally doing the press
thing, talking about being "in the moment." At least it makes more sense than
the Robert Ryan story.

12:03 a.m.: "Hey, Clint, I played a boy
before," says Swank, relating how she's tried to persuade her Million Dollar
Baby director to let her be in his next movie--a World War II drama with an
all-male cast.

12:06 a.m.: So, last night, Swank says she
(1) did the tsunami telethon; (2) went to dinner with husband Chad Lowe
(celebrating his birthday); (3) got stuck in an elevator for 40 minutes; and (4)
fretted that Chad's surprise party would be ruined by their elevator adventure.

12:06:15 a.m.: The party was not ruined. A
good time was had by all.

12:06:30 a.m.: Swank's done. The Globes are
done. The interviews are done. Time to go find some punch.

2005-01-17T21:05:00.000+08:00

8:03 p.m.: The first award, the first
upset. Clive Owens wins the Best Supporting Actor award for Closer.
Somebody give the man a Moët.

8:05 p.m.: So, the Golden Globes
started--and a Closer coronation broke out! Natalie Portman takes the
Best Supporting Actress Globe for Closer.

8:05:30 p.m.: A startled Portman thanks
director Mike Nichols for being her rock-star daddy-friend. (We paraphrase but
not too much...)

8:13 p.m.: The offshore gaming sites are
going to take a bath on this show. Anjelica Huston, another dark horse, wins the
Globe for her supporting role in the HBO TV movie Iron Jawed Angels.

8:14
p.m.: The Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Miniseries or TV Movie
category is up now. Given the upset trend, I'm going to guess Don Knotts.

8:14:30 p.m.: Wrong again. William Shatner
wins for Boston Legal.

8:14:45 p.m.: Thought: When Shatner comes
backstage, could and/or should I ask him why those space aliens were so hot for
Spock's brain?

8:17 p.m.: Portman is the first star in the
backstage interview room. She looks tiny. And more than a tiny bit
overwhelmed.

8:18 p.m.: Why did Portman wear a
slip...sorry, a Chloé designer dress? "I just wanted to be comfortable," she
says.

8:22 p.m.: Portman plays a stripper in
Closer, but in real life, she "get[s] really nervous talking in front of
a lot of people."

8:23 p.m.: Unlike Portman, Clive Owen is
one cool cucumber. He says he hadn't even sat down at his table in the Hilton
ballroom when he was called up to accept his trophy. Owen says, "It was the
strangest three minutes."

8:24 p.m.: Tonight's survey: In which hand
does a Golden Globe winner hold his or her Golden Globe? So far, the tally is
one steady right hand (Owen) and one unsteady left hand involving much fidgeting
(Portman).

8:27 p.m.: Anjelica Huston is at the
interview mike now, showing off her award--and much bling-bling (on her wrist
and around her neck).

8:27:30 p.m.: Huston says, "I'm all for
women voting." Those out-of-touch Hollywood liberals...

8:30 p.m.: For the record, Huston holds her
Globe with her right hand, occasionally holding its base with her left.

8:31 p.m.: Shatner is in our midst, wowing
us with his honesty. "I've been around a long time," he says. "I really wanted
to win."

8:32 p.m.: I skip the Star Trek
question and, instead, ask Shatner if he finds anything remotely party-like
about this punch- and balloon-free affair. "Well, the shrimp were a little
soggy. But I'm hoping it takes off from here," says Shatner. "I'm ready to
party."

8:35 p.m.: Shatner, in discussing
powerful-sounding character names, barks Kirk two times and says
truck one time. Unfortunately, he bellows Khan no times.

8:37 p.m.: I forgot to check which hand
Shatner had his Globe in, much to the dismay, I'm sure, of the scientific
community.

Your Inside Guide to the Backstage Action--As It Happened

by Joal Ryan Jan. 16, 2005

One week ago in Los Angeles, any
crossing of a red carpet would've required a kayak. But today, the rain is long
gone, the sun is out and the 62nd Annual Golden Globe Awards are on.

And so, it is my lot to toil away on this postcard-perfect day at the Beverly
Hilton in Beverly Hills, offering my observations on what is known in press
releases as "the Hollywood Party of the Year."

My initial observation: For a party, shouldn't there be more balloons?

5:53 p.m. ET: The red carpet is hot--as in
temperature hot, as in maybe basic black wasn't the wisest fashion call
today.

5:57 p.m.: First star sighting of the night
(TV division): Will & Grace's Shelley Morrison.

6 p.m.: And the red carpet shows go live.
Now all they need are celebrities on the red carpet...

6:10 p.m.: Bachelorette Jen Schefft leaves
E!'s outpost after an interview with Kathy Griffin and heads out to rewalk the
red carpet. This is a common celeb practice, not just a quirk of "15 minutes of
fame and holding on" reality-TV stars.

6:15 p.m.: I walk through the hotel lobby
with my sunglasses on. I draw stares from casual observers hanging in the bar.
They wonder: Is she somebody? To which I'd have to answer: Technically, yes.

6:30 p.m.: Now showing on the monitors back
in the press room: NBC preshow host Nancy O'Dell redoing an off-the-cuff
interview with Globe honoree Robin Williams. (He was funnier in the first
take.)

6:35 p.m.: The show rundown is passed out
in the press room. Just so you know, Robin Williams has been penciled in for a
five-minute acceptance speech. Well, a time-pressed producer can dream...

6:45 p.m.: I'm back in the grand ballroom,
looking for a beverage at the Hollywood Party of the Year. "Is there punch?" I
inquire of a hotel waiter. "No, ma'am," he replies. Seriously, what kind of
party is this?

6:45:30 p.m.: The kind of party with free
beer. Perhaps they should've called it the Hollywood Kegger of the
Year.

7:22 p.m.: Arrested Development's
David Cross walks the red carpet accompanied by...the Book of Mormon. He's
overheard telling an interviewer that he brought along the tome as emergency
reading material because "these things get boring."

7:28 p.m.: Tim Robbins jog-walks past the
tail end of the red carpet press. "I gotta go! I gotta go!" he declares. To
clarify, I believe he means he has to go to the show. But stay tuned for an
update should bathroom conditions warrant.

7:30 p.m.: My mother, on my cell phone: "Do
you know how hot it is out there?" I do not. She says it's about 80 degrees,
although presently, in Duarte, California, "it's just comfortable."

7:36 p.m.: The celebs' reward for walking
the red carpet media gauntlet? A complimentary bottle of Moët with built-in
glass. Let the party begin.

7:45 p.m.: Sideways director
Alexander Payne, who knows something about wine, defects to champagne and
accepts a Moët. Oh, well, at least it's not merlot.

雙龍餐廳
文/褚士瑩

在加勒比海的巴哈馬群島上，中國人的比例，比想像中的椰子樹更多。

我時常在想，這個看起來安安靜靜，幾乎不事生產的小島，移民來的中國人，究竟都靠著什麼維生呢? 更讓人好奇的是，在小島上渡過下半輩子，真的是他們理想中的生活嗎? 我從不懷疑，每個移民的背後，都有一個動人的故事，只是這問題輪不到我問。

「真是很強韌的民族啊!」每次在幾乎不可能的場合，看到中國餐館的招牌，我都會忍不住讚嘆。

小小的巴哈馬群島上，少說也有十多家中國餐館，但是大多數都令人失望，印象最深的是有回，我走進一家館子，看到門口那桌當地人，每個人都吃著一大臉盆的新鮮紅草莓，上面還淋滿了甜蜜蜜的果醬，我覺得新奇極了，應該是熱帶島嶼的特色，於是興沖沖地問服務生:

「那是草莓蓋飯嗎?」

服務生一臉疑惑地看看隔壁桌，再看看我:

「先生，那是糖醋里肌啊!」

果不期然，那晚是我這輩子吃過最恐怖的一頓飯，腦海中不知怎地不斷浮現出小時候看武俠小說裡面講的人肉客棧。

但是這家叫做Double Dragon的餐廳，就完全不一樣了，開在觀光客熙來攘往的HARD ROCK CAFÉ對面，小小舊舊的招牌，加上鐵絲網圍住的玻璃門，完全引不起人注意，一開始經過的時候，我甚至還以為是哪個報廢的倉庫。

外觀雖然不起眼，但是廣東海鮮料理卻意外地道地。第一次鼓起勇氣進去的時候，裡面就像平常那樣空無一人，

「可以跟廚師說，作真正的中國菜，因為是要給中國人吃的，可以嗎?」

我話還沒說完，又高又壯穿著緊繃繃的紅色窄裙制服的女侍，用力地將菜單翻到背後，露出一行大大的標語:

『Real Chinese Chef, Cook Real Chinese Food』

好一個「真正的中國廚子，煮真正的中國菜」。

接著女侍到櫃檯後面，拿了兩張中文的菜單給我，上面都是英文菜單上沒有的菜，像是椒鹽大腸，清蒸白飯魚，紅燒小炒皇之類的，抱著考驗廚師本事的心情，半信半疑地點了當地出產的海螺片用生薑清炒，小章魚炒XO醬，還有紅燒蒙古牛柳，點完菜後女侍把單子拿進廚房，不久就看到一顆中國人的頭從門後面探出來瞥了我一眼，接著就聽到鍋鏟油煙的震天價響。

正因為期望不高，所以當我嚐到即使在香港避風塘也未必有的好味，簡直是不敢相信自己的舌頭，從此我只要每回到巴哈馬群島出差，必定要去雙龍餐廳報到。

「你說是不是真正的中國菜?」高頭大馬乍看之下像是艾迪墨菲男扮女裝的女侍，從此以後每回都不忘記在我買單的時候挖苦我一句。

這家餐廳的營業時間，跟著這個島嶼的作息一起呼吸: 星期天中午到下午四點; 星期一和星期四中午十一點到晚上七點; 星期二、五、六中午十一點半到晚上十一點半; 但是星期三卻是中午十一點半到晚上十點，這大概是全世界最複雜的營業時間了。

雖然如此，雙龍餐廳的生意，卻一天天好起來，即使店裡客人還是不多(誰會想做在倉庫裡面吃飯呢?)，但是外帶的客人卻源源不絕，接著他們開始了島上第一家外送服務，更是成功，沒多久，生意就好到要在島的另外一頭Charlotte開分店的程度，在島上唯一的電影院隔壁，也開了雙龍自助餐。

雖然我成了刁嘴的老主顧，但是跟老闆的接觸，每次也都只限於在點完菜後，他從門後面探出頭來，四目交接的短暫片刻，我們從來沒有說過隻字片語。

因為我知道，很多中國移民，就是因為埋藏的故事太多，有時候是很深沉的，所以我也養成了不多問的習慣。

直到最近有一次，我再去的時候，老闆一家三人反常地都站在外面，女侍還是穿著紅色洗得有些褪色的緊身短裙制服，但是三個中國人卻都穿著白衣，胸前掛著一小塊黑紗，
「老闆家裡出了什麼事是嗎?」

女侍好像很驚訝我竟然注意到似的，也壓低聲音說，

「老太太剛剛過世。」

在這樣的熱帶島嶼上，除了中國人之外，是沒有人會看得出這個小小的服喪記號的啊!

因為人在異鄉，就要活在異鄉的現實裡。為了生計，不能像在老家時候那樣關起店門七七四十九天，日子還是要過，生意還是要作，鍋鏟還是要動，誰死了都不例外，但是雖然人在異鄉，生命的一小部分尊嚴，還是可以選擇活在傳統裡的，像是披麻帶孝的一點心意，一份沒有加勒比海人看得懂的心意。

還是海螺片用生薑清炒，小章魚炒XO醬，還有紅燒蒙古牛柳，口味還是一樣好，但是不知怎地，這頓飯菜裡多了一點深沉，要走的時候，老闆特地走到門口，我們第一次停下來，點了點頭，老闆似乎是感謝我無言的誌哀，微微的笑了一笑，然後推開門，我又再次地離開這個世界，到了另一個世界。

一一解構義肢
暗黑草原上的追逐
捧著自己頭顱凱旋而歸
迷惑中的頭殼適宜用恥骨撞擊
薄霧般的鐘聲
我是開車進防火巷的人

「非洲有種食人花
花房如陰戶般對土著

刺探我是否吝於掏出消防栓的鑰匙
銳利的薔薇臉色……
時間與距離的遊戲
起於我們熱衷拼圖和猜謎
寂寞跳入窗口無聲
落地如嗜腥的黑貓
眼中炯炯火炬燙傷對眼的黑貓；
醒的人聽不到夢裡的殺伐
另一個入睡者也聽不到
一個夢像一個吊床睡一個人
狗藉每泡尿虛擬對手形象

產業鏈如此完整，還不就因為消費者願意付錢？

在網路上亂逛，總是會看到一些似乎是不該看到的東西，很難避免，因為你怎麼知道一個連結點下去會不會跳出來一個十八禁的網站頁面出來。而這些兒童不宜網站的大宗就是色情網站。

或許你馬上要皺眉頭戴上有色眼鏡，說這東西怎麼適合在大眾媒體上談。但或許你不知道，在網路服務還普遍無法收費的年代，曾經有人喊出網路生意（Internet Business）應該要跟色情網站學習的口號。

原因無他，因為這是網路上最早能收費的服務，所以其收費方式的多元，安全認證程序之嚴謹（就怕收不到錢又被白看），產業上下游供應鏈的完整，了解之後恐怕會讓你嘖嘖稱奇。

更兼且這一切早在三五年前就已經成熟，在那個普遍大家都還在哀哀叫不知道怎麼從網路上賺錢的年代。色情網站的發展還曾經經歷百家爭鳴到削價競爭，到小型業者不堪負荷成本而退出的過程。

早些時候的色情網站因為寬頻還不是非常普及，所以只能供應大量的色情圖片給付費的用戶觀看。但是圖片不會有版權管理的機制，所以用戶可以大量抓取然後隨意複製轉送，這是業者所面對的挑戰。

解決方案是不斷的更新大量色情圖片，以刺激用戶不斷的付出月費來抓取圖片。問題是哪來那麼多色情圖片可以供應？所以大型的圖片供應商就誕生了。

這種供應商專門蒐羅色情圖片，付版權費給眾多圖片生產者，然後再以手上的圖片授權給色情網站的經營者並收取費用，讓他們可以因此對外招攬會員。

圖片生產者，版權管理者，網站經營者，這三者的上下游關係早就在五六年前就已經建立完畢。而這樣的架構卻還是其他內容業者嗷嗷待哺的，例如電子書市場經營者，線上電影的經營者。

色情網站不可避免的會引來爭議，因此有許多的業者自律，會依循公正團體的規範來做分級，或者對於加入的會員作身份認證。例如付費的方式一律使用信用卡，因此可以保證加入者至少在18歲以上等等。

現在寬頻慢慢的普及了，很多色?font color = '#CC4040'>◎~者也開始提供大量的色情電影。這些電影可以分為下載後觀看（會儲存到電腦中），以及線上播放（看完就沒了，不會存留在電腦裡）。

同樣的問題又來了，這下子消費者如果是選擇下載後觀看，表示整部影片的檔案會整個被抓到電腦中。一般消費者可能會把這個檔案燒成光碟片互相分享，這可能會造成業者的損失。

但是最大的損失，是來自於盜版商。這些色情盜版商也到這些色情網站上面去註冊會員，繳費之後大量抓取影片，然後把影片燒成光碟大量出售牟利。

台灣這種盜版色情光碟片的經營者不在少數，有很多業者根本就是從日本的色情網站直接抓取後盜拷，然後大量販賣。不過市場也有他本身的秩序，經營者日眾，彼此削價競爭，不堪負荷者自然退出了。

為了因應這種被盜拷的風險，全球的軟體巨人莫不想著要推出版權管理方案，協助業者解決這類的問題（當然不是專門為了色?font color = '#CC4040'>◎~者啦，剛剛提到的電子書，線上電影之類的都會需要這種機制）

舉個例子來說，如果消費者下載了一部電影到電腦中，開啟的時候可能會必須連上網路輸入身份的認證（帳號密碼之類的），或者甚至是輸入信用卡號碼付錢之後才能開始觀賞。

而這部影片是有時效性的，你抓取後只能看三天，三天之後如果還想看，他又會要求你再刷一次卡，再付一次錢。至於如果你想把檔案拷貝到光碟片上，真是想都別想了。

上星期我不小心逛到一個有五國語言的色情網站，網站上清楚的解釋了上述運作的過程。讓筆者大開眼界，色?font color = '#CC4040'>◎~者果然是各種網路新科技的早期愛用者，因為這些科技跟他們的收入息息相關。

至於你問我，怎麼會對色情網站的生意這麼了解？筆者反而倒很想知道，對於「台灣政府是全世界第一個立法強制網站分級的政府」這件事情，你又會有怎麼樣的看法？

圓錐形愛我的人和終端機式我愛的人
坐在一起商議
做愛的拋物線流程
如果不打斷
我必須橫過對岸
步行３０分鐘購買自己的下午茶

或許打一通電話給你吧
詢問塵埃是不是經已成為掃把式
深怕你回答
不只是吸塵機式
強而有力的物理消耗原理

結果還是組裝著自己的飢餓
安靜聆聽
兩人無聊的對話
棉花樹著自己的胃酸
把下午的太陽分批吃掉

房間鑰匙呢
理應不斷的後退嗎
裝飾著愛我的人的鼻子
順道美麗著我愛的人的肛門

陽光偏斜的時候
打開電視今晚颱風要來

你的房門有乙烯的味道忘了栓上
沒有任何動靜

可以進去嗎
允許我洗一雙淹水的拖鞋

雨水和青春交歡的記憶
擠出晦澀的多餘的雜音
讓自由開始發酵
螻蟻難以代表的生死話題
越過世俗的藩籬
最後留下聲影穿印史書

光與空氣熱情握手
花果優雅的彼此相遇
燦爛的情思奔放山巔水湄
斟滿酒杯的愁苦與磨難
蛇影正吞噬自己的尾巴
白色被單包裹著殷紅的慾望
黑色反撲透明的心情
愛的能量不拘形式及密度
根鬚抓緊地球

退潮的時候讓泡沫
像蠶一樣吐出潔白的心思
讓美在我們的心中織錦
這世界也許已經夠老
但虛無一樣重複唱著年輕
夏蟬眷戀著一截相思樹幹
陽光也一直在發情
不肯進入棉絮的夢鄉

只有土地了解種子的心聲
以不容質疑的真誠
匯集群星的力量導引
純粹的想像刨開歲月
我們面向遠方祈禱
地上的花果靈魂種子
緊緊咬住我們的唇舌
期待在草坡上撞見一個英雄
讓思想打開雷電的臉
在荒蕪中尋找春天
某一個日子我們將只剩下
一支筆，一塊墓碑
為了減輕重量
務必將夢擦得單薄輕巧
如此，在春夜聽冬之旅
在微雨中思索海洋的前世
在感覺時間不再發芽的時候
我們將輕易穿過海洋與河流
沿著島嶼自在飛行

懷才不遇是自己的錯！
2004-12-30 02:19／戴晨志

前不久，我應邀到一家民營銀行為中階主管上課。到了地點時發現，那是一幢新蓋的訓練大樓，空間挑高寬敞，可容納約兩百人，椅子也十分舒適，真是很棒的現代化教室。當我把電腦和投影機架設好後，我感覺，現場的麥克風聲音不太理想；可是，工作人員說：「戴老師，麥克風已經開了！」「不行，聲音不好聽，麻煩再調一下！」我說：「我相信，這麼好的教室，麥克風音響一定很好，聲音不可能這麼破！」工作人員調了一下，說：「好了！」可是，我仍搖搖頭說：「是有進步，可是聲音還是不夠好，還要再調。」工作人員只好再耐心地調，全場的學員也靜靜地坐著，聽我不斷地測試麥克風音響。
「好了，可以了，謝謝！」聲音變好聽了，我滿意了。這時我問大家：「你們覺得，現在的聲音有沒有比剛才好多了？」學員們異口同聲地回答說：「有！」「今天是你們這一梯次上課的第幾天？」我問。

「第五天，也是最後一天！」有學員大聲回答。

「天哪？是第五天？你們這一星期，每天都聽那麼難聽的麥克風聲音啊？」此時，學員們點點頭。我又說：「你們怎麼沒有人去調一下麥克風啊？那麼難聽的麥克風聲音，你們怎麼能天天忍受啊？麥克風聲音好聽，老師講得舒服，你們才能聽得舒服呀，你知道嗎，『人生的麥克風』也是一樣，必須把它調到最好、最棒的聲音，不能讓它一直是破破、難聽的聲音啊！」真的，「生命的麥克風」若不隨時調整，它將會「失真、走音、變調」，甚至變得嘎嘎亂叫！看看我們的四周，是不是有許多自認懷才不遇的人？有人研究所畢業，可是每天開計程車！有人台大畢業，卻在大廈裡當管理員或警衛！我也認識一些人留學美國回來，找不到合適的工作，真是「高不成、低不就」，於是天天窩在家裡，給爸爸媽媽養，反正，餓不死嘛！可是，我們怎能容許自己的生命如此難堪、灰暗，而不再「衝刺、突破」？我們「生命的麥克風」怎能如此難聽、低沉，而不再去調整？真的，天下沒有「懷才不遇」這回事！如果自認懷才不遇，那是自己的錯！因為，每個人都有「造就自己、推銷自己」的義務和責任，我們不能讓自己的才華「跟我們一起出生、一起死掉」呀！趕快調整自己生命的麥克風吧！我們一定要讓自己生命麥克風的聲音「既清脆、又飽和、且宏亮！」

史前魚類和蹴鞠

文/褚士瑩

不知道從什麼時候開始養成的習慣，每次到緬甸出差的時候，總是會到路邊的小店買藤球，回到泰國的時候，送給喜歡踢球的小朋友們。

在快速現代化的泰國，真正藤編的藤球，已經越來越少見了，到球場看到孩子們玩的，大多都是塑膠做的，也不知道為什麼，每次看到他們玩塑膠藤球，雖然事不關己，卻不免覺得感傷，所以我從還沒有接受塑膠文明大量污染的緬甸，帶真正的藤球，先在水裡泡上一夜，讓藤吸收水分變得堅韌，隔天早上分送給球場的窮孩子，讓他們有機會可以更貼近自己的傳統。

藤球大小和手球差不多，規則和現代的足球也很類似，玩法基本上分成踢球射門得分的一種，還有另一種是投籃得分的，或許是因為踢藤球的傳統，所以西方足球很容易就在中南半島各國風靡，每到了歐洲盃或世界盃足球賽的時候，家家戶戶總是徹夜不眠守著電視機，各地組頭更是忙得不可開交，不只賭錢，賭房子賭車子傾家蕩產的都有。

每次出入機場的時候，都有海關或是同機的緬甸人，在旁邊訕笑，覺得這個外國人怎麼這樣老土，竟然買這麼一堆不值錢的東西帶到國外去，但是我都不以為意，這樣我行我素做了一段時間，直到有個朋友到泰國來找我，看到我滿屋子的藤球，驚訝地大聲說:

『天啊!這不是蹴鞠嗎?』

『咦?促什麼?』我從來沒聽說過這種東西，更別說知道怎麼寫了。

這個喜歡讀中國歷史的朋友，很驚訝地看著我，

『怎麼?沒看過水滸傳嗎?』

朋友回到台灣以後，寄了E-MAIL告訴我他上網查的詳細資料，原來這項中國民間歷史悠久的傳統體育活動，就是後來踢毽子的前身，相傳起源於軒轅皇帝傳上記載：「皇帝令作蹴鞠之戲，以練武士，今繫球也」。早在二千年前的漢代就已經出現了，根據文史學家的考證，漢代畫像磚上就有記載踢毽者的圖像，因此踢毽子可說起源於漢代，而盛行於南北朝及隋、唐。

最早記載踢毽子活動的書是唐人釋道宣所著的《高僧傳》中記載：有一個名叫跋陀的人到洛陽去，在路上遇到了十二歲的惠光，在天街井欄上反踢毽子，並且連續踢了五百次，觀眾驚歎不已。跋陀是南北朝北魏時(公元467～499年)人，為河南嵩山少林寺的祖師，他非常喜歡惠光，就將他收徒弟惠光就成了少林寺的小和尚。而少林寺武術也就開始採用踢毽子作為輔助工具之一。

到了宋代，參加踢毽子運動的人更普遍，當時在臨安城就有專門製作毽子的小手工藝人。而在唐、宋、元的時代，蹴踘(踢球)中有所謂的「白打」，這種踢法不設球場不立球門，可一人，也可二、三人，甚至多人共踢一球。表演者用頭、肩、背、臀、胸、腹、膝、足身體各部來玩球，花樣繁多，講求技藝高超，姿態優美。由宋人高永的著作《事物紀原》可推想，踢毽子是模仿「蹴踘」這項踢球運動演變而來的。

踢毽子到了明清時代也極為流行，不但有單人踢，還有多人踢，明朝劉侗、于奕正同撰的《帝京景物略》一書記載著：「楊柳兒活，抽陀螺；楊柳兒青，放空鐘；楊柳兒死，踢毽子。」這說明了在楊柳兒枯，天氣冷的冬天，踢毽子正好可以暖身活血，可以禦嚴寒的氣候。

清人阮葵生所著的《茶餘客話》卷十八記載當時北京的踢毽情形說明踢毽子已被納入雜技團的表演中，而且是最精彩的項目。到了清末，踢毽子已達到鼎盛時期，參加的人越來越多，不僅用來鍛鍊身體，作為養生的方法，而且把踢毽子和書畫、下棋、放風箏、養花鳥、唱二簧等相提並論，一些人也以會踢毽子為榮。

很小的時候踢羽毛毽子，外婆還曾經教我如何用布把豆子縫在裡面，自己製作，但是很快的，雜貨店兩塊錢一個花花綠綠的塑膠毽子，就取代了又貴又容易壞的羽毛毽子，我還記得每次不小心踢進水溝裡去，撿起來塑膠絲都會縮成一坨像髮菜的怪模樣，雖然惱火，還是照踢。

毽子在中國勉強流傳到現代，但是蹴鞠可就失傳了，萬萬沒想到，我在中南半島時常買來分送小朋友的，竟然就是這種在中國已經消失了的蹴鞠，那種感覺好像回到當時在埃及讀書時，跑到西奈半島的海邊學潛水，看到了許多醜陋的大魚，幾年後才在國家地理雜誌上讀到，那些竟然就是科學家以為早已經絕種的史前魚類。

旅行者的人生，總是充滿了驚奇。

電影《當哈利碰上莎莉》裡，當莎莉得知結交多年的分手男友，

竟然快速地與一個認識不久的年輕女孩結婚時，原本對分手一事還相當堅強的莎莉，
一下子就崩潰了，「為什麼他會選擇一個認識沒多久的女人，?
礄伎o不肯跟我結婚？」
當時跟我一同看電影，比我年長近十歲的朋友，忿忿地丟下一句話：
「男人之所以想結婚，不是因為你，而是時候到了，誰在他的身邊而已。」真的是這樣嗎？

時光飛逝，到了我那個朋友同樣年歲的今時今日，突然發現朋友說的話，只有一半是對的。
時候到了才想結婚的，不只是男人，女人同樣也是。
你的愛情史從頭開始評價，你最愛的那一個，
大多數不是你現在身邊，跟你交換誓言說願意照顧你一輩子的人。
結婚這件事，要是什麼我愛你就要嫁給你這麼簡單的邏輯，
那麼交往了十年八年的班對，就不會在出社會後迅速分手，又迅速各自嫁娶。
愛情跟結婚之間，還是有一段現實的差距需要去跨越。
為結婚而結婚這種事，即使你嗤之以鼻，卻無法做出什麼太具體的抗拒行為，
因為有許多人的確是因為這樣結了婚，這跟愛不愛，關係不大。

一個在三十歲左右時結婚的朋友，被問及結婚的理由?
氶A做出的反應是：
「因為覺得該結婚了，當時身邊又有一個人，雖然不是最好，卻也不是很差，
再加上身邊親朋好友的推波助瀾，就這樣結了婚。」

這就好像你走累了，極需一張椅子坐下來歇歇腿，身邊僅有的，卻只是一張小板凳，
或是一張普通的椅子，你是坐，還是繼續去找更好的椅子？坐下來，可以馬上坐下來歇歇腿，
繼續走，可能走到腿斷為止都還是那一張小板凳?
A你會怎麼選擇？
有人或許會說，那麼以前的最愛呢？
以前的最愛譬如沙發，很軟，很舒服，或許也很美觀，但那個時候，你的腿卻一點也不酸，
你需要的根本不是一張沙發，可能是一副眺望遠方的望遠鏡，或是能讓你跑得更快的直排輪鞋，
沙發只會絆住你的雄心勃勃，就算好到不能再好，又有何用？
又像當你準備大學聯考和公務人員考試時，當然希望可以得到「史上最準考前猜題」之類的資料，
但這個資料若是在你考完了，或是考上了之後才出現，就算是再好，也是沒用的東西，
那句「恨不相逢未嫁時」說的就是這樣的心情。
日劇《相親結婚》中，男主角光太郎在雨中為女主角節子披上毛衣時說過一句話：
「雖無濟於事，卻也聊勝於無。」正說中了想結婚卻沒特佳對象，只好屈就次佳對象的心情。
即時的，不見得是特別好；但即使是特別好，不即時又有何用？

遊戲機轉進家庭
美興起「繭居族」

■ 編譯湯淑君／紐約時報二日電

外面的世界天災人禍頻仍，以致美國興起一股繭居趨勢，愈來愈多35歲以上已成家立業的人士捨得花大錢在家裡設置娛樂室，把小時投幣玩的小精靈、小蜜蜂、彈珠台等大型電玩搬到室內，一來可忘憂解悶，二來可拉近親子關係，使得這類懷舊的大型機檯遊戲買氣日增。
美聯社

世紀轉換之際，天災人禍不斷，據市場趨勢專家觀察，美國已興起一群繭居族，酷愛窩在家裡從事休閒活動，例如重溫昔日投幣玩「小精靈」（Pac-Man）等電玩的舊夢，使得這類大型機檯遊戲再度走紅。

現年39歲的抵押貸款銀行員蓋布瑞爾說，過去兩年來，他總共花了3萬多美元裝潢占地650平方英尺的遊戲室，裡面安裝七部大型機檯遊戲。此後，他發現父母比以前更殷勤探視五個孫子女，且打完招呼後就迫不及待往遊戲室裡鑽。蓋布瑞爾說，這筆錢花得值得，不但讓他「夢想成真」，也拉近了子孫三代的感情。

改裝休閒娛樂室可能是浩大的工程，蓋布瑞爾就請電工重新裝配整棟房子的電線。室內設計師巴克絲特發現，現在愈來愈多客戶願意付每小時200美元，請她在有限的空間規劃合適的遊戲組合。她說：「必須預留可靠手肘之處，另有其他考量。例如，總不好把通往彈珠檯的走道，設計在射飛鏢板的正前方。」

巴克絲特說，規模中等的休閒室占地約350平方英尺，「足夠擺一張撞球桌，以及一排三、四架的彈珠台或大型機檯遊戲，甚至還可擺個手足球台。」

蓋布瑞爾覺得還不夠。他捨得大手筆布置休閒室，反映1980年代在遊樂場投銅板玩小精靈和小蜜蜂這類大型電玩長大的人，現在用手把玩Sony
PlayStation 2這類家用電視遊樂器

屋內捲起裙角
包裹最後一箱的夜晚
角落遺忘的一只空杯
滿肚寂寞漲氣
陽台上垂掛的空衣架

前方巷口橫置的記憶
久久不肯散去

雨刷啪啪地來回
快速擦拭－－

突如其來的巨浪

突如其來的巨浪

海嘯；tsunami

亦稱地震波（seismic sea wave）或潮波（tidal wave）。破壞性的海浪，通常由芮氏規模6.5級以上的海底地震引起。水下或沿海山崩或火山爆發也可能引起海嘯。通常用海潮來指這種海嘯，但這是一種誤稱，因為這樣的海浪同潮水沒有關係。最大的海嘯可能是發生在1703年的日本粟津海嘯，有十萬多人遇難。最壯觀的水下火山噴發在1883年淹沒了印尼的喀拉喀托島，並掀起了30公尺高的海浪，有36,000多人遇難。

中國主要的考古地點，靠近古代的都城長安（今西安），占地20平方哩（50平方公里），是由第一位擁有至高權力的皇帝：秦始皇帝，所興建的密閉陵墓。1974年，鑽井的工人發現地底下有個大型密室，裡頭大約有六千座真人大小的赤陶俑，臉部各自表現細微不同的表情，另外還有陶土鑄成的馬、武器和其他物品，組成一批陪葬的軍隊；而在附近三個密室中，也挖掘出超過一千四百具的塑像；墓葬本身至今尚未開挖。考古學者預測，要掘出這座構造複雜的陵墓的其餘部分，將花費多年時間。這座陵墓是聯合國教科文組織的世界遺產地點。

＜轉折的一夜立院的反應＞
　　After attending the opening ceremony at Taipei 101 in the morning, President Chen's thoughts turned to DPP personnel matters. After an entire night's worth of secret meetings, top party members have finally agreed on who will be succeeding Chen as DPP Chairman. In reality, the series of meetings began around 2 p.m. on Thursday afternoon at the Presidential Office. Those seen leaving from the meetings refused to comment on any conclusions that had been reached or what was discussed. Kaohsiung City Mayor Frank Hsieh, however, did jokingly say that he and Chen merely exchanged stories on the experiences of being a grandfather. The most dramatic moment came when 蘇貞昌 rushed back from Matsu to meet with Chen. Upon hearing that Yu was not enthusiastic, Su took on the attitude he would do whatever Chen wished, finally bringing an end to this two-week drama over the party chairmanship. The series of meetings showed that Chen is still pulling the strings from behind the scenes. Su will be leading the DPP, while Hsieh will be leading the new Cabinet or taking over the post of Presidential Office Secretary General. It looks like Su and Hsieh will have many opportunities to work together in the future.

　　陳水扁總統一早出席台北一零一大樓啟用剪綵儀式，站在世界最高樓，此刻正是他必須展現最高視野來安排各項黨政人事的心境。而經過昨天一夜的戲劇性密集約訪，終於在敲定民進黨主席人選。事實上，從週四下午兩點開始，陳總統就展開一連串的高層會談，總統府前黑頭車輛密集盡出，政治氣氛緊繃，但與會人員對於會談內容三緘其口，倒是第一個進府的高雄市長謝長廷笑著說，他和陳總統談的其實是『倆個外公經』。最戲劇化的一幕，就是蘇貞昌由馬祖趕回與總統面談。在得知游院長意願不高、而且陳總統連番積極勸進之下，蘇貞昌以『總統要我去哪裡，我義無反顧』，讓這一場延續了倆個禮拜的黨主席接班戲碼，有了令人驚喜的結局。這一連串的約見，呈現陳總統黨政佈局輪廓，也就是，蘇貞昌主持民進黨，謝長廷待命籌組新內閣或接任總統府秘書長。蘇貞昌、謝長廷兩人分庭抗禮的競爭合作局面已經浮上台面。

＜組閣民親配立院國親配＞
　　After the election, the PFP made it clear that it would steer its own course. While it would cooperate with the KMT, it would not unite, nor would it rule out cooperation with the DPP on various issues. Now, President Chen has suggested that his second step in personnel arrangements may be forming a cabinet in cooperation with the PFP. The PFP strongly denies these allegations, but the DPP is unwilling to rule out the possibility. Not only is the PFP getting into the Cabinet mix, it is fighting hard for the top posts in the Legislative Yuan as well. Since the election, the PFP is in a position to play a key role, and both the KMT and DPP are working hard to gain their support. In this position, the PFP is keeping its options open and not making any commitments. In this all-out battle for political power, the PFP may just be the biggest winner! In response to public curiosity over whether or not he hoped for the position of Premier, Kaohsiung Mayor Frank Hsieh answered with a big smile, but not many details. He said as far as he knew, the Presidential Office had not reached a decision over this position. In response to questions regarding PFP playing to both sides in forming a Cabinet, Hsieh said James Song probably didn't have that many bargaining chips to offer in forming a DPP-PFP Cabinet.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

　　選後親民黨擺明走自己的路，跟國民黨合作不合併，跟民進黨則不排除議題上的合作，如今更傳出，陳總統人事佈局第二步，可能以民親配的方式共同組閣，親民黨強烈否認，但民進黨內認為不無可能！不只組閣分杯羹，親民黨也積極爭取立院龍頭國親配選後親民黨始終扮演關鍵角色，藍綠爭相拉攏，但始終保持進可攻退可守的彈性，讓親民黨在這場權力爭奪戰中，可能是最大的贏家！針對外界好奇謝長廷是否可望接任閣揆，人在高雄的謝長廷笑容滿面，但是態度低調，說就他所知，總統府也還沒有做最後的決定。同時針對親民黨可能在組閣上兩面討好的情況，謝長廷也說，宋楚瑜應該不要以組閣有多少職位作為親民合作的交換條件。

＜政黨法角力橘綠會合作? ＞
　　Although the atmosphere was calm, there was clearly tension underneath the surface as the PFP aided the DPP to get the party assets statute a second reading. The KMT dropped their protests and instead requested further negotiations over the matter. Meanwhile, the pan-green camp was happy but very anxious. The first cooperative effort between the PFP and DPP proved successful. The DPP expressed optimism about working together with the PFP in the future. As for what version of the party assets statute will get a third reading, and what roles the pan-blue and pan-green camps will play, only time will tell.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

　　黨產條例逕付二讀的關鍵時刻，民進黨甲級動員，國親二黨人數寥寥可數，氣氛雖然平靜，卻也顯的詭譎，原本強烈反對的國民黨，突然鬆手，不過要求還要協商，綠軍雖然開心，卻也非常憂慮。親民黨首次和民進黨合作，就進行順利，民進黨也對未來橘綠合作，更有信心。至於黨產條例，究竟什麼樣的版本才會三讀通過，藍綠之間的角力，還在暗中較勁。

＜今晚要跨年低溫只五度＞
　　One of the most powerful cold fronts this winter has decided to join the party of the New Years Eve. Not only does the temperature in the mountain area went below zero Celsius degree, other regions of Taiwan were having record low temperature. At 淡水, it is measured at 7 degree Celsius which is colder than last morning. Moreover, in Taipei and 新竹 are other cities, the temperature dropped below 10 degree Celsius. The Central Weather Bureau has warned that this kind of weather is going to continue at least for the next two days, people should put on more clothes when they go out. This cold front is going to bring in more cold air that will continue to cool every region of Taiwan non-stop. Not only Keelung, Taipei, 彰化 and 嘉義 will reach 5 degree Celsius, residents in 南投 will have a chance to taste the almost freezing air of 4 degree Celsius. In addition, southern Taiwan will also have the coldest days of this year. Though the temperature is low, don't think that you would have the chance to see the snow, the possibility of snowing on the mountain area will get lower and lower as the night gets in. The forecast said the chance of having precipitation is very low. If you want to enjoy and get "high" without trembling at the New Years Eve Party outdoor tonight, be prepare to wrap yourself up like an onion!

　　跨年的前夕遇上入冬以來最強的寒流也來湊熱鬧，不只是高山地區低溫跌破零度，連全台灣平地的天氣也是冷到屢屢創紀錄！目前為止淡水氣溫又比早上還要冷，只有7度左右，台北、新竹也紛紛掉到十度以下，這樣的天氣讓氣象局持續發佈低溫特報提醒民眾要注意！強烈的冷空氣持續發威，下午、晚上各地的天氣是越夜越冰冷！不只基隆、台北、彰化、嘉義只有五度，就連南投還有機會下探四度。至於南台灣也是會冷到今年最高峰，不過即使氣溫超低，但民眾想賞雪恐怕是越晚越困難。入夜之後天氣轉乾冷，跨年活動正好遇上超低溫，想要high得不發抖，最好還是要有禦寒準備。

＜森林的火災陸空的演練＞
　　When the watchmen noticed the thick smoke that was filling the air, they immediately called for help using their intercoms. But it is difficult for vehicles to reach this mountainous area, and helicopters carrying firefighting personnel are sent to fight the fire from above. As firefighters work to put out the fire from ground-level, the helicopter transports huge quantities of water over from a nearby river in a further attempt to put out the fire. In order to shorten the time it takes the helicopter to fly between the river and the scene of the fire, a firefighting train opens up its water bags to provide an additional source of water for the helicopters. The four helicopters hover over the fire, pouring down water from above. Over the course of this realistic forest fire drill conducted by the Forestry Bureau, the effectiveness of the Bureau's forest fire squad could clearly be seen.

五味雜陳的人生

五味雜陳的人生

文/褚士瑩

我們都想要一帆風順的人生，即使我們到頭來往往都說不清楚，自己的人生究竟算不算是幸福。

或許大多數的人生，都是五味雜陳的吧!

五味雜陳的人生，就像一鍋湯底，一開始的時候總是清清淡淡，但是不知道為什麼，清淡久了就羨慕起酸辣湯的高潮迭起，於是又加佐料又加羹湯，越加越辛辣，越加越混沌，不葷不素，又甜又鹹，弄得四不像了，回頭想要一鍋清湯，才發現已經太遲。

這樣的歷程，我們活一遍就都要走過一遭，說不清楚時只好歸納成兩個字，就叫做「人生」，人生這一鍋湯，到頭來有沒有辦法成為一道佳餚，或變得根本無法下嚥，自古至今沒有人能夠保證，但是我們終其一生在調這鍋叫做人生的萬年湯時，別忘了其實有兩個重要的禮物，是我們可以自己給自己的。

提醒我這個道理的，是一個多年的讀者，叫做阿嬌。她高職畢業以後就出了社會，當時二姊告訴她，有兩件事情一定要去做，一是買保險，二是要行善。買保險，是因為父親在她國一時因車禍過世，家人因為父親沒有保險，經過長長的掙扎好不容易才走過來，所以深深明白買保險不是為了自己，而是為家裡其它人著想；至於行善捐款，並不在乎金額大小，只在心意，或許會有機會幫助到身處絕望的人。

保險和行善，乍聽之下一點都不像人生的禮物，但是仔細想想，確實很有道理。多一點保險就像多一點薪火，可以讓不至於這鍋湯不至於在還沒有成熟就斷炊；而行善就像分一碗熱湯給需要的陌生人，不但有機會溫暖別人，說不定還可以從別人那裡，提醒自己這鍋湯是否不知不覺熬得太鹹太苦。

「姊姊的話，我聽進去，剛開始，並不是很瞭解背後的涵意，但是我一直照做，我不去問為什麼，別急！急了，就享受不到完成時的甜美，」阿嬌說，「就像我半工半讀，唸夜二專時，當時的自己也不去問辛不辛苦，白天努力工作，晚上乖乖去上課，過了三年，我沒有參加畢業典禮，但在拿到畢業證書，那一晚，晚上十一點回家的路上，我痛快的流下淚，那時，我才讓自已，放下繁忙的每天行程，知道自已做到了！」

煮人生這鍋湯，我們都曾一度急著讓自已完成自已的目標或行程，最好可以同時完成很多事情，直到老來，卻又巴不得一切都慢下來，最好時光倒流，但人生的事情，又怎能讓我們自已安排哪！

「我曾經恨！為什麼我要經歷那麼多風霜？但是回頭想想，他們帶給我成長，智慧，和自已本不明瞭的堅強，那我又怎能怪罪命運的安排，是一次又一次的事件，讓我成為現在的自已，我要感恩過去所發生的人事物，沒有他們，就沒有現在的我?」

可不是嗎? 當阿嬌知道我在幫忙慈善團體建立孤兒院，她說:

『你會做好事，我並不驚訝，只在於那勇氣和時間吧了！你以前曾經在某一篇文章中寫到，你在公車上遇到一位故人，他在大陸從事希望小學的工程，你很佩服他的精神，其實你深受他的感動，我們都會被那樣的人所影響，尤其，這個人又是你已經早就認識，只是那時的你因緣未到，人就是被所經過的事情所感化的吧！你只是成名太早，一切事情太過順利，世上沒有速成的事情，好人本來就難當，他一定會經過很多的磨練，你心中太想完成它，相對你會覺得難成，所以我替那些孤兒，再一次的謝謝你，因為你在他們最需要幫忙的時侯出現，你會在他們生命中，烙下最深印記的人，他們不見得有機會，當面跟你說聲謝謝，但是他們的快樂，不是你所想樂見的嗎？』

我們都希望自己擁有赤子之心，但難掩生活歷練養成的多疑猜忌。往往因為受過苦，就難去相信陌生人的善意。其實世間的道理，或許不是非黑即白那麼單純，但是人生的忠告，可以就像買一點保險，做一點好事那樣簡單明瞭，這點我是深信不疑的。

＜林信義閣揆?財經和風格＞
　　Is Lin Xin-yi the new Premier? President Chen only answered this question with a smile. Word on the street is that Lin will no longer be merely an economic advisor without the power to act. Instead, as Premier, he will have the power to implement his policies. At present, this is just a rumor and the blues and greens are expressing very different opinions on the possiblity. Lin has not left a very deep public impression. From taking the position of Minister of Finance, in 2000, to a member of the Vice-Premier's economic advisory council in 2002, to Convener of the President's Economic Advisory council in 2004, he has been the same stuffed suit, with the same strong and stiff air about him. After bringing China Motors back from the brink of bankruptcy, Lin was a hot pick for Premiership from the moment he stepped into the political arena. As rumors about him began to fly, the Office of the President was quick to stress that President Chen is still considering candidates for various cabinet positions and has not made a final decision. At this point, the identity of the next Premier is still a mystery.

＜哪些人留任?李傑杜正勝＞
　　National Defense Minister 李傑 was unwilling to comment on rumors that he will retain his current position in the next Cabinet. Rumors were rife on Wednesday that Li was about to resign over the arms purchase bill, but on Friday afternoon, Li will be paying a visit to the Legislative Yuan in another attempt to get the bill passed. Education Minister 杜正勝 was also unwilling to comment about his future in the Cabinet. Apart from Li and Du, Foreign Affairs Minister 陳唐山 and Council for Cultural Affairs Minister 陳其南 are also rumored to be staying on in the next Cabinet.

　　被傳出可能獲得留任,國防部長李傑一早面對媒體,對自己的去留,笑著不願多談.昨天才傳出李傑為了軍購案未能夠順利付委,萌生辭意,不過,下午他將會到立院,為軍購案再度跳上火線.同樣傳出獲得留任的還有教育部長杜正勝,他本人則是相當低調,不做說明.新的內閣人士出現進展,除了國防部長李傑,教育部長杜正勝之外,外交部長陳唐山,以及文建會主委陳其南,同樣也穿獲得留任.指示,這些當事人都低調回應,也讓內閣人士更引人好奇,究竟,內閣總辭,誰會續任,外界持續關注。

＜元旦的升旗藍綠怎麼搞＞
　　In front of the Presidential Palace, workers are putting the finishing touches on stands and a stage for Saturday's New Year Flag Raising Ceremony. At this year's ceremony there won't be professional singers or Olympic athletes leading the national anthem. Instead, 10 pairs of couples with foreign spouses will be leading the song, displaying the new diversity in Taiwan's population. It is hoped that Taiwanese society will learn to accept an increasing number of foreign spouses and a new generation of Taiwanese children. At the same time, the KMT will be holding their own flag-raising ceremony at Chungshan Hall. They are calling it "Taiwan's Hope: Sending off 2004 and welcoming 2005." So when the new year comes, you can choose your own style of cheering on Taiwan.

＜城市大調查花蓮最愛動＞
　　Early in the morning, Haulien's Hua Gang Shan Sports Park is full of people doing morning calisthenics, students getting in a quick ballgame before school, and mothers exercising on the grass. It really does seem that Haulien is a city where people like to exercise. It ranked first in a poll determining interest in exercise, and Governor Hsieh Shen Shan is an exercise lover, too. Not only does he swim in the mornings and jog regularly, he actively promotes exercise among the populace. However, the governor said that with 25% of the population being aboriginal people, many love to exercise, but many also love to drink, leading Hualien to rank 2nd out of 25 cities and counties surveyed for overweight people. The governor said he hoped the community's love for exercise would bring down the percentage of people who are overweight and make Hualien a truly healthy city.

＜太極藏鬧區下班舒筋骨＞
　　It's hard to believe that you can find such a peaceful Tai-chi studio amid the hustle and bustle of Chung-hsiao E. Rd.! This group of professionals come here to study Tai-chi after work, and their teacher is none other than Dan Ming-shu, who won the gold medal for Taichi at the Asian Games in Bangkok in 1998. Many of the busy, stressed-out professionals who come here say that after just a few classes, they feel much more relaxed and at peace. Dan Ming-Shu takes a relaxed approach to Tai-chi instruction which allows people without any exposure to it to gradually experience the fun of it. Taking a little time after work to practice Tai-chi, calm their spirits and strengthen their bodies may be just what many of today's busy professionals need to stay healthy.

形陣與虛無 / 袁兆昌
─────────────────────────────────
－－給我的小小詩友

形陣與虛無，光之處
我們相同。我們一同
放下脖子，讓羽毛包含足踝
我們看見我們的臉，在攀仿幽暗

言語在飛翔，再次探問意義
語序消失。我的手在附近
茶杯在桌上搖晃，我的手
遇見探問者的嘴唇

象徵與枯萎，我們無法核證
不要驚訝秋天開花
春天落葉，我們看見
我們相信，我們一同

【台灣日日詩】一個文書兵的下什——致我們遙遠的和平 / 達瑞
─────────────────────────────────
1.

三月十七，立夏

你始終不曾入睡的什後

窗外，有物醒轉——
視野，輪廓，剛整之氣
天候結束了猶豫，時間
的精神答數，雄壯威武
綿密的歌喉左轉而來，
天地鋪滿意念的肌肉群
此刻光的步伐，溫和節制
終於你得知世界
拘謹的內在

2.

生機飽滿的什後，
你沒想到夢——
床緣，花果，雨水
離島來文絆住了思緒
究竟何種支撐力道，
又是怎樣的生活，正駐紮
荒疏之境，憂患之偏？
一班戍守於風的隊伍，
雲脈推演著戰備的陣勢
久遠的戰役，亙古之傷
飛鳥的行徑是守候的姿態
南下，北上，反覆驗證
寂寞的遷徙

3.

你揣測來文的旨意，
眼神的運輸或情感的補給
室溫、慶典、城市的速記
你臨摹起他們的臉孔
黝黑，精實，在冬夜的霧鏡中
穿梭，在秋光的迴旋中前進
哨口、海岸、防風林
譬如一支陳年歌謠，
靜靜等待著迴聲

4.

是啊，我們的弟兄，
我們生命的將領，在潮浪
的營區，看守夢的版圖
晨昏，死生，詩的起訖
你聽見一道隱雷，堅韌而內斂
繫固著島與島的距離
然後穿越，穿越
闃靜的平原，汗之裝甲
狹仄的城沿，汗之據點
僻寒的山背，汗之訊號站
深澀的內陸，汗之堡壘
繁冗的岸線，汗之巡防
遼敻的戰區，汗之夜行
此時的什後，氣度恢弘
語義涉過昨夜的水漥
折射如鏡，鏡內的斑痕
你體悟著生命細膩的筆觸，
成熟，寬容，豐厚的子葉
風，然後是光
幾乎是命運的平衡，
和平狀態的鍛鑄

5.

一個稀鬆如常的什後
你想到回信，遠方及其深處
郵資是愛，正本，速件
情緒的頁數，安置，密封
完整地抵達：一枚鈕釦、
一隻吻、一碗久違的
記憶的菜湯，問候和聆聽
此刻窗明几淨，有人始終
未曾醒來，你信中提及
「如何恆持的戰術，
煩請告知」五月五日，
立夏，時間的文書兵

＜李傑遞辭呈?國防部說法＞
　　　　Has Defense Minister Li Chieh actually resigned his post? Legislators expressed concern and the Deputy Minister of Defense made no clear statement. Legislators received word through military sources that in last Monday's military briefing, Minister Li offered his resignation to President Chen because of the stalled Arms Purchase Bill. However, afraid that Li's departure would create a leadership vacuum in the Ministry, President Chen hoped that he would stay on until the new cabinet is set up. Actually, this is not the first time Li has proffered his resignation. On Sept 24 of this year, Li submitted a petition expressing his willingness to resign. It is worthy of note that since the continued failure of the bill after the legislative elections, Li has been asked to report to the Defense committee on two occasions but in both cases he failed to appear. This is a marked departure from his previous willingness to step into the line of fire in support of the bill. But as to whether reports of Li's resignation are true or not, the Minister's office has yet to give a clear answer.

　　　　國防部長李傑，真的倦勤，請辭了嗎？立委關切，國防部副部長低調，說不知情。立委從軍中得知的消息，表示上週一的軍事會談上，李傑因為軍購案遲遲沒有進展，已經向陳總統請辭，不過擔心李傑離開後，造成國防部內部空窗期，因此總統希望他留到內閣總辭。事實上，李傑請辭已經不是頭一遭。在今年九月24號的質詢上，就已經表達意願。值得注意的, 從立委選後, 軍購案再度闖關失敗, 國防委員會邀請李傑報告, 李傑已經兩次缺席, 沒有來開會, 在這和他過去跳上火線爭取軍購的
立場有很大的落差,到底部長請辭消息準不準，部長辦公室到現在還沒有說明。

＜老宋又出國橘綠要組閣? ＞
　　　　After a whirlwind 40-hour stay in Taiwan, PFP Chairman James Soong left one remark before taking off again: that People First Party does not rule out collaborating with other political parties for the pursuit of economic prosperity. The statement has generated speculations that PFP will be working with DPP. It has also been rumored the two parties will work together in forming the new cabinet and in taking on as President and Vice President of the Legislative Yuan. The DPP's Party Assets Proposal has been successfully outlined in the Legislative Agenda. As this was done with the help of the PFP, will the two rivals be joining forces in the future? If so, could they let the past be water under the bridge? Could hatred be turned into love? Perhaps this is what politics is all about. There are no real friends and no real enemies.

　　

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

　　　　匆匆回台才停留四十個小時,親民黨主席宋楚瑜離開台灣前只留下這樣一句，親民黨不除排和其他政黨，就改善民生方面合作,大家長都這麼說了,民、親兩黨合作是不是有了開始？外傳組閣和立院正副龍頭卡位戰,是結成親家的第一炮親民黨在程序委員會臨門一腳讓民進黨版黨產條例付委,也讓老死不相往來的兩家有了聯手的機會雖然說不是冤家不聚頭,但聚頭真的能一笑泯恩仇嗎？看看他們以前怎麼對罵的過去交鋒的炮火能不能延燒成愛火,或許這就是政治,沒有永遠的朋友，也沒有永遠的敵人

＜連宋會破局國民黨怎說＞
　　　　In the less than 2 days that James Song has been in the country, he only had contact with Lien Chan in the hour immediately before and after Faina Chiang's funeral, and they did not speak to each other at that time. Later, when the KMT phoned Song to invite him to meet with Lien, Song refused. At Wed. morning's Standing Committee meeting, Lien was very reserved about the matter and made no response to media inquiries. The mood in the KMT Standing Committee was somber in response to today's statement that the PFP would cooperate with the DPP in forming the cabinet. Several committee members shouted against Song while still expressing faith in the unification of the KMT and PFP. Wang Jin-Pyng was quick to explain that PFP cooperation with the DPP was focused specifically on the bill. While the KMT appears anxious to reconcile with James Song, they will have to wait until he returns to Taiwan next year.

　　

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

　　　　返國短短不到四十多個小時,宋楚瑜和連戰的碰面,就只有在蔣方良夫人的告別式上，前後一個小時,連宋並無交談。之後國民黨以電話邀約宋楚瑜進行連宋會,也遭到回絕。週三上午連戰出席國民黨中常會,相當低調,針對媒體詢問,一概笑而不答。近日傳出親民黨將與民進黨合作組閣,國民黨的中常會氣氛稍顯嚴肅,幾位國民黨中常委趕緊跳出來向宋楚瑜喊話,並對國親合併充滿信心。王金平更解讀,親民黨和民進黨的合作,應該只是針對法案。國民黨急著和親民黨修復關係,恐怕只等到明年宋楚瑜回國,再做打算.

＜李登輝旋風媒體的報導＞
　　　　Despite the requests of the Japanese government, the media is still reporting every aspect of former president Lee Tung-hui's visit. The media frenzy following Lee seems to surpass that of his visit to Osaka three years ago. Wherever Lee goes, the cameras never stop. Over thirty different media houses from Japan and elsewhere around the world are covering Lee's Japan trip. Some television stations even have two teams covering the story. Of the different media members, six of them are from Mainland China, including Xinhua News Agency. Television stations aren't the only ones covering the story. Lee's Japan visit has appeared on the front page of major Japanese newspapers. Asahi Shimbun, one of the largest newspapers in Japan, had significant coverage of Lee's second visit to Japan as a purely recreational visit. Another major newspaper in Nagoya, Chunichi Press, covered the story on the front page and stated that with Lee's visit, the relationship between Japan and China becomes even more worrisome. The more low-key Lee tries to stay, the more attention he receives. In the next few days, Lee will continue to be the center of attention in Japan.

　　　　儘管日本官方一再要求媒體不要前往拍攝前總統李登輝，但這股李登輝旋風，相較於三年前的大阪之行，是有過之無不及，只要是李前總統一現身，閃光燈沒停過！包含日本當地跟其他國際媒體，就超過三十家，不少電視台還一次派出兩組人，隨行跟拍李前總統。其中還包含新華社在內六家中國媒體！不只電視台搶拍，李前總統訪日的行程，更是登上日本
各大報重要版面，像是朝日新聞就以顯著篇幅，報導李前總統二度訪日，是單純的旅遊行程。而名古屋中日新聞，更是在頭版報導隨著李登輝訪日，日中關係令人擔心。行前越低調，訪日行程卻越受關注，未來幾天，這股李登輝旋風還將繼續狂掃全日本！

Between the lands mass of Phuket and Sumatra is a body of water crowded with black dots. This astounding number of black marks was never seen before. Are they fish boats sunken by the disastrous tidal wave? The National Space Program Office says it would require the assessment of other experts to draw a conclusion. The authority also indicated that, should there be the need; the ROCSAT-2 satellite will continue to monitor the disaster areas and provide free images to facilitate relief efforts.

Businesses around the area are happy to see their property prices rising. This is the first time property prices in Kaohsiung have raised to the millions.

After a renovation of the facilities and providing rehab curriculum to the community, mental patients will be able to come and go on their own. Dr. Lin is very grateful to his father for the new face on this old house because it was the elder Lin's home for 30 years. The father said that he was willing to give up his home and move into a dorm with his son when he saw the heart he had for healing patients with mental illnesses. The elder Mr. Lin works as a volunteer on the premises, caring for the patients together with his son. In opening this space, they are breaking down societal prejudices against people with mental illnesses and have even convinced some of the neighbors to cooperate with them in their work. This father son pair is doing a truly admirable work.

＜上班族年終哪行業最多＞
　　　　Everyone has the same question on their minds these days. The question is how much their bonuses will be this year. On average, office workers hope to receive a bonus of 1.73 month's salary. Unfortunately, companies are only willing to give an average of 1.53 month's salary.
　　The financial industry tops the chart again for highest bonuses this year. Traditional industries took the other top ten spots. The high-tech industry used to be considered a highly lucrative industry and was ninth last year. However, this year it has dropped to eleventh place. 36 percent of the companies said they will not be giving out bonuses this year. One media advertising company will be giving out presents instead of bonuses due to a poor year. The presents are only tissues and cookies. It seems like not everyone will be enjoying a happy bonus this year.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

　　　　現在大家心裡都有同樣的問號，那就是今年年終可以拿到多少個月，上班族平均希望拿到1.73個月，不過很可惜企業主平均只願意給1.53個月，而金融業還是穩坐冠軍寶座，傳統產業也包辦了前十名，但是之前人人稱羨的科技業去年第九名今年掉到第十一名，更有三成六的企業主說清楚不會發年終，更有家媒體廣告業沒賺錢不發年終而以小禮物取代只有面紙和蛋捲，今年的年終獎金還是幾家歡樂，幾家愁

＜蔡英文閣揆?各方的意見＞
　　　　Who will be leading the cabinet Next February? Currently, legislator at large Tsai Ying-wen is the most likely candidate. It is said that the DPP has already asked for support from the TSU and that President Chen will make the announcement on New Year's Day. TSU has expressed their support, however, the DPP has completely denied the appointment. DPP claims that thus far the decision has not been made. Veteran party member Shen Fu-Hsiung is skeptical of the situation, while both the KMT and PFP are unwilling to express their stance on Tsai Ying-wen heading the cabinet. Who will be the new Premier? The people are waiting for President Chen Shui-bian's decision.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

　　　　明年二月，誰來帶領閣員？目前以民進黨不分區立委蔡英文呼聲最高，外傳，民進黨裡已經知會了台聯，要尋求支持，更表明明年元旦，陳總統就要公佈台聯表示贊同，不過民進黨卻全盤否認，表示只是報派消息，還沒定調，但大老沈富雄，不看好。至於國親兩黨對蔡英文組閣更不願意表態。究竟誰才是最佳閣揆，正考驗著陳水扁總統的智慧，外界都在看。

＜春節的包機國民黨腹案＞
　　　　The Chinese New Year is approaching. Arranging for the millions of Taiwanese businessmen in Mainland China to return home is a considerable task at hand. Chartering planes is the most efficient method, but negotiations with the Mainland on the situation have not yet materialized. The KMT has proposed to implement the 2002 flight chartering plans for this year. Planes will be provided by Taiwan. However, in 2002, chartered flights were only available from Shanghai to Taipei and flights had to stopover in Hong Kong or Macau. This year they hope to add Guangzhou and Beijing to the plan. They also wish to eliminate the stopover in order to save precious time. Chartered flights can only bring a small fraction of the millions of Taiwanese businessmen home. One other motivation behind the plan is to relax cross-strait tensions. The KMT will meet with the Mainland Affairs Council in hopes of speeding up the plan to bring Taiwanese businessmen home for the holidays.

　　　　就快要過年了，百萬台商在中國，如何返台過年，真是大工程！春節包機，是最省時的辦法，但兩岸談到現在，都還只聞樓梯響，國民黨提出腹案，原則上比照九十一年的包機模式，由我方民航飛機負責接送，不過當時只開放上海、台北，而且中途停靠港澳，今年希望除了上海之外，還能增加廣州跟北京，而且中途不降落，節省返鄉時程但包機能載多少人，這只不過是百萬台商的極小部份，促成春節包機，還有緩和兩岸緊張的效用，國民黨團也將拜會陸委會，希望儘速促成春節包機，讓台商返家好過年！

＜中國白皮書國防部反應＞
　　　　In the 2004 National Defense white paper outlined by the Chinese government, it clearly states that China will crush Taiwan's independence at all costs. Take a look at its national defense budget. In year 2000 a total of 170.7 billion was allotted. In 2002, 190.7 billion was set aside. By 2004, that number grew to 211.7 billion. The Ministry of National Defense says this is just a tip of the iceberg. According to the Ministry, China has continuously beefed up its military powers to become a source of chaos in the Asia-Pacific region. And to maintain peace across the Strait, passing the 610.8 billion arms purchase act is imperative. In the wake of continual growth of China's defense powers, the Ministry of National Defense urges Taiwanese people to be on the alert.

Many people say that the bicycle is good for weight loss, because the speed at which the bicycle travels is similar to walking, but uses more energy.

褚士瑩逍遙遊

埃及神話
文/褚士瑩

我曾經為了埃及種種迷人的神話及傳說，到開羅去讀書，但是花最多時間的，並不是在課堂裡聽講，而是放學後到國家博物館裡流連忘返；對於尼羅河記憶最深刻的，也不是豪華的郵輪之旅，而是星期五晚上搭上尼羅河畔的小汽船，和埃及人們並肩而坐，邊嗑著葵瓜子，邊瀏覽著這個神秘古老的國度，在眼前緩緩流過，彷彿所有的神話傳說，無論經過了多少千年，都還栩栩如生的訴說著。沒有課的下午，有時候我會到街角專門做莎草紙的小店裡去，志願幫忙店主老伯伯在這種人類最古老的紙上，用墨筆沾著金色和黑色的漆，描畫著一個又一個古老的神話故事場景，在著色的同時，對於故事畫面裡面每一個角色，逐漸升起了好奇心，揣想著他們當時都在想著什麼，背後有著什麼動人的故事，畫了莎草紙一輩子的老伯伯，還有他在店裡幫忙的兒子孫子，常常就會拿著剛描好邊的畫，告訴我每一個天神還有法老的家譜，從小喜歡聽故事的我，常常就因為這個原因，待在店裡一待就是一整晩。最近看了一套三本就叫做<埃及神話>的連環圖畫書時，當時在埃及生活求學的點點滴滴，還有在老伯伯店裡聽過的神話故事，彷彿又一點一點地回到了記憶中，想起每天打開浴室的窗戶，看到遠方尼羅河河水的反光時，就有無限幸福的感覺，無論現實生活中多麼辛苦，也都沒有關係了，或許這就是聽故事的魅力吧。

Meanwhile, KMT and aborigine legislators continued to protest the lack of aborigines on the list of nominees, while Control Yuan nominee 張建邦 tried to drum up support. Chang, who founded 淡江 University, is counting on the support of the eighteen legislators who are alumni of the University, including 秦慧珠, 李文忠, 朱鳳芝, 林郁方, 黃義交, and 盧秀燕. However, whether he can count on the group for support remains to be seen. The group, on the other hand, needs to consider their party's opinion, alumni relations, and figure out where they stand.

＜唐守義槍枝終於曝光了＞
　　The same kind of gun that was used to shoot the President and the Vice President on 311 has made its debut at the Criminal Investigation Bureau. Ever since, 唐守義, the suspect who was selling this kind of customized guns that was also used on 311 got captured, the CIB found out that almost all of his customized guns have clear marks of soldering on the barrel and on the bottom of the gun. Take a look more closely, it won't be hard to find the soldering mark on 唐守義 's guns. Usually, you won't find these marks on ordinary customized guns. The CIB hopes that the public can report any useable information if they find similar guns that has this kind of soldering marks. The speaker of the CIB, 侯友宜 stated that from the evidence they found on 唐守義 's gun, they can be sure that the gun that were used in the shooting of 311 was fired twice with two bullets. CIB also asked all the police to pay extra attentions on every customized gun to see if there are similar soldering marks. This way, it would be quicker to find the suspect who fired shots at the shooting of 311.

＜卓越要喊停醫院搶病人＞
　　More than three thousand doctors from hospitals and medical center walked out to protest the Advanced Health Insurance Plan which made them hard to earn a living. This protest even made 張鴻仁, the vice minister of the Department of Health to resign. And now, almost every hospital's emergency room is full to its capacity and with the budget of advanced plan being short. Hospitals will start to limit appointments and those who cannot get their spots will start to report to the emergency room. All of these problems are said to be caused by the advanced plan. When the minister of the Department of the Health, 陳建仁 was questioned at the Legislative Yuan, he said that the advanced plan is under a short-term contract, and it is still in the evaluation process. Although the termination of the contract might solve the limited appointments problem, but it will also create the problem of big hospitals taking over all the patients to make profits; making smaller hospitals or clinics difficult to make money. Some said, when the advanced plan is terminated, many of the hospitals might be closed because of financial difficulty. However, if the public doesn't how to use medical resources wisely, alone with limited national health insurance budget, the termination of the advanced plan will never solve the medical problem

　　十月12號，國內三千多名地區醫院醫師，破天荒走上街頭，抗議健保卓越計畫，讓他們無法生存，這場抗議還造成衛生署副署長張鴻仁請辭下台。而再看到大醫院現在急診床位幾乎排到走廊，因為部份醫院卓越計畫預算，年底就要用完，開始限診，掛不到門診號碼的民眾開始擠向急診。這些醫界亂象，矛頭指向才實施半年的卓越計畫，因此衛生署長陳建仁上午在立院備詢時表示，卓越計畫是採合約制，現在到了年底，的確正在進行評估但當卓越計畫喊停，雖然解決了限診問題，卻可能造成醫院大搶病人衝業績，醫院的營運可能會更加困難，首當其衝就是中小型醫院。恐怕半年後就會有部份醫院倒閉，如果健保預算有限，民眾不懂得珍惜醫療資源，健保問題絕對不會因為卓越計畫喊停，因此結束。

＜補習班演習怎樣才安全＞
　　As dense smoke fills up the interior of the cram school and a recording starts blasting, students cover up their faces as they are directed outside. Meanwhile, students trapped on the third floor of the building use the fire escape to get out. Over the course of the evacuation, some people are injured while others are suffering the effects of smoke inhalation. The rescue personnel hurriedly send them to the hospital. As teachers check to make sure that all their students got out safely, a squad of school staff get to work to try to put out the fire as they wait for the firefighters to arrive. Fortunately, the fire isn't a big one. Since there are over two thousand cram schools in Taipei alone, apart from choosing a legal and standard-compliant one, it is also very important to remember three things when selecting a school for your children: First, check to make sure the fire extinguishers and other facilities have not expired. Second, make sure signs pointing towards the emergency exits are clear. And third, there should always be automatic firefighting systems in place on the tenth floor and above. Keeping all this in mind, parents will have one less thing to worry about when it comes to their children's safety.

　　After the countdown, the first double layer bicycle rack parking system is officially in use. Taipei City Mayor馬英九 first tried it out by parking one and he gave it great compliments. Lots of bicycles are always parked around the MRT stations in a very disorganized fashion with never enough parking spaces. To improve such conditions Taipei City government imported this double layer bicycle rack park system all the way from Japan and sets it up first at the 北投 MRT station for trial. There are 32 sets of racks with 64 parking spaces that save room and accommodates for more parking of bicycles. Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation stresses that if the trial period goes well, they will set up 300 more sets of this double layer bicycle rack parking system at other chosen MRT stations in the next 2 years. This is to offer more convenience for all bicyclists when taking MRT rides in the near future.

　　This rookie whose name is 廖于誠 was throwing hard at the CBL tryout for new rookies. Although he doesn't have much spectacular playing experiences that can be put on the resume, but his control is considered above average. Many teams have set eyes on him, with no doubt, he was picked by the Brother Elephants at the 4th pick on the draft. This year's first pick, the La New Bears selected 許志華 , who is also a pitcher. It seems like if you are a pitcher you can always find yourself a job. Because of the shortage on domestic pitchers, teams are set to gamble on these young arms. However, if these pitchers want to have a successful career, they will still need to work hard.

＜台灣是地雷?外交和政院＞
　　　　Who is the mine in between U.S.-China relations? U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Armitage says it is Taiwan. During a recent interview with the U.S. media, he declared that there is only one China and Taiwan is a part of China. Furthermore, he said that there is nowhere in the U.S.-Taiwan Relations Act which indicated that Taiwan requests U.S. to protect Taiwan. Armitage continued by explaining that the U.S. does not need to protect Taiwan according to the U.S.-Taiwan Relations Act, and the decision is through Congress if there is a need to involve in war. The Pan-Blue legislators worry about such statements given by Armitage. However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs proclaims that things are not as bad as it seems.

MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS SPOKESPERSON
呂慶龍: (He only said that it could be Taiwan; he didn't necessarily state that it is in fact Taiwan.)

However, has Armitage's "mine" speech hurt Taiwan-U.S. relations in any way? The Executive Yuan has already instructed Ministry of Foreign Affairs to inquire AIT and also informed David Lee, Taiwan's Representative in U.S. of the situation, in hope that the U.S. State Department can offer a clarification and explanation.

呂慶龍:(他只是說可能是台灣，他並不是說是台灣，沒很明確的這樣說。)

儘管如此，阿米塔吉的「地雷」說法是否已經傷害台美關係？行政院已指示外交部詢問美國在台協會，並要求駐美代表李大維了解，並希望美國國務院就此提出澄清與說明。

　　　　This piece of land is the future site of the American Institute in Taiwan. Due to security precautions, the US will be handling all the construction and design work at an estimated cost of 160 million US dollars. The US government is leasing this piece of land for 99 years, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that this is proof of good ties between the US and Taiwan. The US has also announced that a retired military official will be sent to Taiwan next year to head up the AIT. China believes that this move will have a negative impact on the stability of cross-strait relations as well as the further development of US-Sino ties, but a spokesperson for the AIT has said that the retired military officer is being posted only to raise the effectiveness of the AIT in terms of administration. Therefore, China shouldn't make a mountain out of a molehill.

＜美蘋果有蟲不能再進口＞
　　　　The 基隆Harbor Customs is very busy as usual in the mornings. There are four big containers containing apples entering customs that have just arrived from the U.S. Recently there were incidences where codling moths have been found in the U.S. imported apples, so customs officers are all very careful with the inspection. These crimson red apples all look very delicious, but you cannot tell by appearance whether or not they're infested with insects. Customs officers even randomly picked out a few apples and cut them open to check. Even though these few boxes have passed to be insect-free, the other boxes of apples that had been found with codling moths two days ago had resulted in the decision to ban importing apples from the U.S immediately. When the ban will be lifted is yet unknown. The Ministry explained that even though codling moths are harmless to health upon digestion, it is still damaging to crops. It takes only one codling moth to vastly breed and as a result they could eat up the whole orchard. Agricultural experts still haven't found a way to totally prevent this so once codling moth is discovered it should be treated with caution immediately. At any rate, there is only around a two-week stock of U.S. imported apples left before the ban gets lifted.

The golden color patter on the swamp eel is not common, and so Mr. Chen treats it with extra care and attention. According to some cultural-historical workers, this eel is actually not foreign bred but Taiwan bred swamp eel. The reason for the mutation in color may be due to disease, causing change in color.

But according to a report by American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a 13-year tracking study conducted in Sweden found that women who drank one glass of milk or more per day were more likely to suffer from cancer, the most probable kind for women being ovarian cancer.
And not just milk, but dairy products such as yogurt, ice cream or butter also create carcinogens in the female body. Doctors in Taiwan, however, are doubtful of the correlation of milk to cancer. These women who drink milk on a daily basis are also unconvinced. According to the doctors, cancer is caused by a variety of agents. And as the Taiwanese have been drinking milk for years without cancer, milk lovers should not panic too soon.

　　 This is an all-terrain vehicle, or ATV, as they are popularly known. ATVs are suitable for all kinds of terrain, and come in a variety of designs. Taiwan is currently the world's third-biggest manufacturer of ATVs, and specializes in these 150cc and below ATVs. 益通 of Tainan 永康 produced Taiwan's first ATV six years ago. Drawing on their years of experience manufacturing scooters and automotive parts, they successfully transformed into an ATV manufacturer. They have also created their own brand, which is ranked second in the North American market. Adding to the value of their vehicles is the technological expertise and safety-focused design. ATVs were originally used for cross-country terrain racing, and are now commonly used by the police, military, firefighters, and in sea searches. Test drivers test the vehicles over a variety of terrains and situations, including S-turns, slopes, cobblestone, and most importantly, in water. The domestic market is expected to expand, whereas overseas, the vehicles are selling very well.

鋁也會生鏽

「鏽」能把整架飛機固定在一起，也可以讓整架飛機都變成碎片。

除非你有國家氣象局發的執照，讓你能攜帶氣壓計的話（不過，這個機會恐怕不大吧），帶水銀上飛機是被嚴格禁止的。為什麼？因為要是不小心讓水銀滴下去的話，它可是能讓飛機在著陸以前就鏽成碎片哪。瞭解了吧？飛機是鋁做的，而鋁則是非常不穩定的。

等等，人家不是說，鋁這玩意最大的好處就是它和鐵不一樣，不會生鏽嗎？我們在這裡說的是一樣的「鋁」嗎？沒錯！你家的鋁鍋就是用一種及容易發生反應的化學元素做成的，只是它有個特性，能把自己偽裝成一種抗鏽蝕的金屬。

鐵生鏽的時候，會形成氧化鐵──一種看起來紅紅的、粉粉的物質，很快就會剝落而暴露出裡面的金屬，而裡面的金屬也很快就會開始生鏽，如此不斷繼續下去，直到……你的排氣管被鏽穿掉下來。

但鋁生鏽的時候，會形成的是氧化鋁，這是種完全不同的怪物。

鋁也會生鏽 2

2004-12-21T10:48:00.000+08:00

氧化鋁，這是種完全不同的怪物。結晶體形式的氧化鋁，被稱為金剛砂、藍寶石，或紅寶石（視其顏色而定），是已知最堅硬的物質之一。如果你想要設計一種能包在金屬外層，而且又強又不會被刮傷的覆層的話，除了鑽石以外，沒有幾樣東西是比氧化鋁還要好的了。

鋁生鏽的時候，會形成一層保護層，這種保護層的化學結構和藍寶石一樣：透明，但能阻絕空氣和許多種化學物質，還能保護物質表面不受到進一步的生鏽：只要形成了薄薄的一層保護層，馬上就會停止生鏽。（「電鍍」鋁已經用酸和電處理過，以使它生成厚厚一層的鏽──因為這層鏽愈厚，金屬就愈強，也欲不容易受到刮傷。）

這層看不到的保護層形成的速度很快，快到讓鋁（甚至在熔化的狀態下）看起來像是種惰性金屬。但這種假象卻無法抵擋得過鋁的大敵：水銀。

水銀碰上了鋁，就會滲透這種金屬，並瓦解鋁的保護層，使得鋁變得會持續「生鏽」（以一種更具破壞性的方式），而且無法形成新的氧化鋁層。下面圖中「工」字形的鋁金屬塊，在短短幾個小時內，就已經鏽了大半；而要讓鐵生鏽成這個樣子，可得花上幾年的功夫。

我曾經聽過說，在二次世界大戰時，美軍曾派突擊隊深入德國領土，把水銀塗在飛機上，好讓這些飛機碎成片片段段。不管這個故事是真是假，這樣的破壞效果的確是真有其事。僅僅幾微米厚的氧化鋁層，就是讓整架飛機繫在一起的唯一物質。下次搭飛機的時候，想想這一點。嗯，或者是最好不要想起來這一點，省得你嚇到了。

當一盞燈分娩出影子時
整街的寂寞也因此晃動起來

眾多疾駛的眼神踢翻
層層淡霜，流洩於
一群輪廓未明的腳步間
沒有人過問太多閣樓的心事
只因它們不在同一時間
將臉轉向那面半傾的牆
某種語彙拉長著身子
揚起一些蒼老的塵埃
於一條貼滿「天國近了」的巷道徘徊
在飽含了過多期許之後
跌落在一面「此路不通」的牌子上

夜，則如一灘腐黑的屍水
在一幅線條過份凌亂的畫上
逐漸渲暈開來

【台灣日日詩】賦別 / 夏天
─────────────────────────────────
　我在小鎮裡找尋一家店舖買菸
　入夜後暴雨突然降臨
　雨刷徒勞反覆
　撥走墜落漫散的水滴
　街景自雨裡隱去
　我感覺到你
　已經離開
　而我們終成兩座孤島
　天涯海嵎且各自生息
　碧海白沙是我想像你將來的面容
　爬藤與兇猛的蕨將覆蓋我此後崎嶇匍伏的肩胛
　深海千噚我巨大的心音跳動
　我確定你已經離開
　雖然我仍注視著每一輛與我錯身急馳而去的車
　車內會不會有你的身影
　水花在輪下濺起
　（想來這只是個愚蠢至極的念頭）
　車行後沒入黑夜再無痕跡
　我冒雨閃身進入一家未曾去過的商店
　卻怎麼也想不起自己想要什麼
　我突然覺得自己麻木堅硬
　如最後一頭滅絕的長毛象
　固執愚笨走到陸地的盡頭卻
　堅持往水深未明的海域行去
　海水及頸，及鼻，及我黝黑透明的眼
　記憶裡
　有你的每一個季節
　都是夏天
　忘了緊閉的窗讓屋內同屋外一樣潮濕
　雖然我知道什后室內短暫曾有戶外青色的光影
　我把濕了的外衣脫下
　多雨的季節
　要不要將它烘乾？
　點亮桌燈黑夜結束前我將把唯一且最後給你的詩篇寫完
　然後等待時光
　什麼時候乾燥了這頁薄薄的紙
　然後摺疊緘封
　寄回給昔日向你告別的自己

　　　　After a night's arrangement, the shrine of Faina Chiang was set up at Tri-Service Hospital. At 9 a.m. Thursday morning, it was officially open to the public. A photograph of the the warmhearted first lady is placed on the shrine; fresh white flowers fill the solemn room. Throughout the morning, mourners stopped by to pay condolences. Some were in wheelchairs, others walked with the assistance of canes. They never met Faina in person, but came to pay respects to the former first lady nevertheless. A retired teacher from 三軍 Day Care Center, established by Ms. Chiang, brought a faded picture of Chiang to reminisce. Former President of Examination Yuan 邱創煥 speaks of the times he played golf with Ms. Chiang. President Chen paid respects for a second time at the shrine. Former President Lee Teng-hui and wife sent flowers. President of Legislative Yuan 王金平 paid a personal visit and remarked that the government will arrange a national burial if Ms. Chiang's family wishes to.

＜萬納度斷交?外館險撤離＞
　　　　Trouble seems non-stop ever since Taiwan tries to build diplomatic relations with Vanuatu. Just days ago, Vanuatu's new government gave out a written notice to all airline companies forbidding Taiwan citizens to get in or leave Vanuatu. To avoid our diplomats and staffs being harm by China, Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked the diplmats to retrieve from Vanuatu right away and go to Fiji for the time being. The ministry strongly criticized Vanuatu's new government trying to create obstacles for Taiwan diplomats and the pressure constantly release by China. As to what's the future diplomatic relations between Taiwan and Vanuatu? The ministry emphasized that only if Vanuatu officially announce terminating diplomatic relations with Taiwan or else the two countries' dimplomatic relation is still valid.

＜三一九槍案可疑灰衣男＞
　　　　After discovering where the gun was purchased, new developments came to light in the 319 shooting incident on a daily basis. Investigators discovered that the gun used on March 19 was purchased from 唐守義 by an unidentified male surnamed Huang. Huang, whose nickname is "Lefty," may know the identity of the would-be assassin. But because Huang refused to tell the police who he passed the gun and bullets onto, officials requested permission to take him into custody.
Investigators are also trying to apprehend the unidentified male in gray who appeared on the scene of the shooting, but since the shooting, the male in gray has disappeared into thin air. Investigators suspect that the male shot at President Chen with his left hand, and because Huang's nickname is "Lefty," the male in gray and Huang may be one and the same. There is another suspect in the case, the bald male in yellow, and police are investigating whether he is in fact the deceased 陳義雄. In their search for 唐守義, officials have already taken 17 people into custody. If they are able to find out the identities of the male in gray and the bald male in yellow, the chances of cracking this case open is high.

　　

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

　　　　查出是誰賣的槍彈，從槍彈追人的辦案方向，讓319槍擊案每天都有進展，專案小組懷疑曾經向唐守義買槍，綽號左手仔的黃姓男子，可能知道槍擊案的兇手，因為黃姓男子沒有老實說出，向唐守義買來的槍和子彈，到底轉手給了誰，所以專案小組聲請羈押黃姓男子獲准，準備好好查一查。另外專案小組還認為，出現在槍擊現場的灰衣男，涉嫌重大，但案發到現在，灰衣男似乎從人間蒸發，希望大家提供線索。這名消失的灰衣男，疑似用左手開槍，因為在押的黃姓男子綽號叫左手仔，所以檢警懷疑左手仔就是灰衣男。另外禿頭黃衣男子，也被檢警懷疑是兇手，只不過他是不是溺斃的陳義雄，還要再比對調查。專案小組追查唐守義槍彈的流向，已經羈押十七個人，如果能夠查出衣男和禿頭黃衣男子的身分，抓到兇手的可能性很大。

But there was a research study that prove the mom's worries was unecessary. Doctor said the best time to own a pet is when a child reaches at the age of 5. If sneezing or rashes occur, then suggest to bring the child to the hospital for a blood test because very often the allergies wasn't induced by pets but by cold air or other factors. Therefore the sooner a child get contact with pets, the better he or she could be immuned from allergies. Looks like this child would soon able to bring a puppy home!

而後
開始了和影子的一段交往

秋天剛走
你便急著褪去一身他
還有他許過的願
有時落葉都不瞭解落葉自己
據說
接近分手的緯度
日光特別溫暖

最近較少夢話了
包括將你的癖好於呼吸間洩漏
其實
作夢並不需要黏膩的吻
天亮前想我是自由的

把你鎖進抽屜
卻忘記抽出鑰匙

我生鏽的樣子想必很醜

【台灣日日詩】致稻米炸彈客 / 吳音寧
─────────────────────────────────
夜裡，我坐在農村
一張不安的書桌前
想像你。時間滴答
在厚實的土壤底
稻穀正在脫衣
裸裎，抽芽
輕微的破裂聲
迎向春雨的降臨

記憶如風，波浪過水田
倒影天空的心情
稻作是笑了開來
或預感哀傷的搖頭
時間滴答，交響田埂
在夜裡不分彼此
黑暗中，月光下
小動物家族豐富的合唱

農村睡著了
好像睡著了
農人躺平一天的勞動
卻惦記起離鄉的子弟
誰誰誰又在城鎮工廠
斷了指、壓壞背
從工地大樓無聲的墜落
夢裡，蕃茄芭樂柳丁高麗菜
紛紛從天而降，像暴雨、冰雹
收購的價格直直落。時間滴答
夜深了，廟口娶不到牽手的羅漢腳
醉酒嚎哭如野狗。未婚的小媽媽
風騷著青春，如營養不良的貓
貧窮餵養長大的混混
飆車逃出
農村好像睡著了
安穩的
衰敗的睡著
聯外道路急駛過一輛輛貨車
運載汗水化成露珠
不值錢的豐美收成
要送往哪裡？

要送往哪裡？明早
捷運站裡無精打采的受雇者
不會知道，時間滴答
忙著選舉及公文往返的官員不想知道
時間滴答。二十四小時的電視新聞
沒興趣知道，時間滴答
隨利益濃霧般逼近
再逼近。或許只有認命的老農
一早起床，習慣性探向天地
於是嗅聞到
空氣中有煙硝味
刺鼻的

來到金錢競逐的白日
理論在口水中
造千萬艘張牙舞爪的紙船
但有人昨夜冒險出航
像張行動書桌
從菜市場暗巷
臭水溝，一條引線
一顆土製炸彈——喔不
僅只是一聲難以忍抑的怒吼
就要爆發

就要不斷的爆發
而我們的兄弟姊妹聽得見嗎？
聽見生命掙扎著
如在水泥地底的稻穀
發出輕微的
破裂聲

▌他心通探案

▌他心通探案
▌張草˙著

　　傳說，修行之人到了某個境界，會產生「神通」，也就是超能力，或西方人所謂之ESP（意指「五官之外的知覺」Extrasensory Perception），其中稱之為「讀心術」的，便是佛經中的「他心通」。

　　這些年來，有人使用「超心理學」這名詞，企圖用科學研究它，在科學未有結果之前，他心通這題材，已被人大大的利用在娛樂方面。

　　例如連載漫畫《感應少年EIJI》，正是以一名高中生為主角，他可以在觸摸到一件東西時，感受到摸觸過的人殘留的意念。故事是以連續殺人犯為主軸，主角明日真的目的，是以這些感應到的殘念，去瞭解兇手的心理，以揪出兇手。

　　無獨有偶，「Ｘ檔案」（The X-files）的原創者克里斯‧卡特（Chris Carter），也推出了另一部影集「法眼奇案」（原名「千禧年」Millennium），主軸也是連續殺人犯，主角是退役的 FBI 探員，他也具有感應力，能看見兇手留在犯罪現場、屍體和兇器上的意念，探索兇手壓抑的心理、殺人的理由。

　　電影「沉默的羔羊」（The Silence of the Lambs，1991）使心理分析用的「側寫」技術和「連續殺人犯」引起風潮，一時之間，警匪片中幾乎都有側寫的描述，而以上兩部例子，就結合了神秘學和心理學，將十分科學化的側寫技術，變成了他心通人士的洞察。

　　說回他心通，他們是怎個「通」法？台大李嗣涔教授為中研院研究「氣功」的一員，據發現，一些可以「隔空傳音」或「隔洋發氣」的人士，他們發功時的腦電波紀錄，竟跟高空中電離層頻率相同，可以說是一種波的傳送作用，一如收音機的傳播原理。

　　如果說，咱們腦電波的振動造就了思想意念，是否也有部分電波竄出了腦袋瓜，而他心通就是能夠接收到的人呢？曾有案例，一位在牙齒上補了兩種金屬的人，金屬間的電位差正好使他可以接收到某家電台，結果每天腦中都聽到該電台廣播，這就是「人工他心通」了。

草註＝

超能力可分「接收」（精神層次）和「放出」（物理層次），前者稱ESP，亦即第六感––五種感官外的第六種，後者稱 Telekinesis （念動力），比如移動物體、隔空取物，兩者皆屬佛教所謂「神通」，西方人將兩者合稱 Psi power （psi 是希臘字母倒數第二個，有神秘之義。

＜組財經內閣點名賴英照? ＞
　　The legislative elections are over, and now, the President has appointment of a new cabinet to keep his hands full. Who is the right candidate to head the Executive Yuan? So far, Governor of Central Bank 彭淮南 and Justice 賴英照 are the most likely candidates. Lai was once Minister of Finance of the Provincial Government. During 張俊雄's term as Premier, Lai was promoted as Vice President of the Executive Yuan, forming a stronghold with the institution's then Secretary General 邱義仁. When 張俊雄 resigned three years ago, Lai insisted on leaving the cabinet as well. Subsequently, he took on responsibilities of a justice.彭淮南 is presently Governor of Central Bank, bank of Taiwan. Peng was educated to become a financial expert for the government during the years the KMT was in power. A quality both Lai and Peng share is amiable relations with the opposition party. In the wake of the imbalance between government and the new legislature, either candidate would be vital to coordination between the pan-blue and green forces.

　　立委選舉結束了,接下來,陳水扁總統頭痛的,就是新內閣人選,究竟誰會有資格帶領行政院,目前,以中央銀行總裁彭淮南以及大法官賴英照,呼聲最高。曾經擔任省府財政廳長，賴英照在張俊雄擔任行政院長期間,就被拔擢為副院長,與當時的行政院秘書長邱義仁,行成堅強的鐵三角！三年前,張俊雄卸下內閣,賴英照執意轉換跑道,才轉任大法官。再看看彭淮南,除了是中央銀行總裁之外,更是國民黨執政時期,所培育的財經技術官僚.兩個人的共同特質通通都是和在野的關係極佳。在新國會出爐,朝小野大的情況之下,對於化解泛藍的杯葛,綠營相信將會有加乘的作用。

＜民進黨敗選自評兩原因＞
　　A deep bow to voters, President Chen Shui-bian acknowledged losing the legislative election battle. DPP did not win enough seats in legislative like they have expected. DPP headquarter did a reviewing report on the reasons why they failed. And the conclusion was during the election period, too many issues were being thrown out, including the change of name and constitution. That scared away many mid-voters. Another reason that failed was because after March 20th, the presidential election, DPP became too overly confident and optimistic about the legislative election this time. On top of that, there were too many legislative candidates running for the same districts, thus caused problems with vote-sharing. After this time, DPP will definitely learn to be more humble in the next election.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

　　向選民深深一鞠躬, 陳水扁總統承認, 在這次立委選舉中, 民進黨打輸了, 表現不理想, 而追究原因, 黨內也完成了檢討報告,總結起來最大的原因, 就是拋出太多的議題, 包括正名和制憲, 嚇跑了中間選民. 另一個值得檢討的, 就是民進黨在320過後,對於選舉過於樂觀, 自信和自滿, 才會導致敗選. 再加上提名爆炸, 同一, 聯合配票又出問題, 才會導致這次的大挫敗, 有了這樣的經驗, 民進黨下回面對選舉, 將會學著更謙虛.

＜宋楚瑜出國連宋會喊停＞
　　On the third day after the elections, PFP Chairman James Soong left for the US to visit family. Before he left, Soong said that he would no longer provoke the KMT, and that he is extending an olive branch to KMT Chairman Lien Chan. As for internal party rumors that the PFP would be cooperating with the DPP, Soong said that the oranges hadn't turned green, and furthermore, how does one merge blue oranges with the rest? Lien Chan had no comments for the media on Wednesday morning, but most people have an optimistic outlook on the planned merger. On the other hand, a KMT legislator has asked the KMT to do some humble self-analysis. Regardless of whether the merger ultimately takes place, the KMT and PFP will continue to work together. Currently, all negotiations are postponed until Soong returns to Taiwan.

　　選後三天,親民黨主席宋楚瑜遠離一切紛擾,前往美國探望家人,臨出發前,宋楚瑜在機場,不再強烈砲轟國民黨,而是向國民黨主席連戰釋出善意。對於親民黨內傳出要和民進黨合作,宋楚瑜表示,橘子不變綠，藍橘又怎麼併？隨著他出國,連宋會面再度喊停。國民黨主席連戰上午沒有表示意見,而國親兩黨內部大多是樂觀看待,不過,也有國民黨立委要求國民黨應該虛心檢討.不管是樂觀，還是檢討，國親合作基調沒變，只是合併之路還走得顛顛簸跛，宋楚瑜的美國行，能沈澱出多少心得，也攸關合併之路能不能走的

＜匯豐和花旗擴大台市場＞
　　Bank employees, don't worry of losing your job after banks hiring. Citibank has decided to increase 800 staffs in credit card department. HSBC on the other hand will increase 550 new staffs. It is a 30% increase of new blood compare to the number of staffs they have right now. The large number of staffs increase was for preparation for the uprising needs in credit card market and real estate market. Foreign banks believe that Taiwan is a big consumer behavior market. Knowing foreign banks' intention in Taiwan, local banks like First Bank for example is also begin hiring as well. The hundred year-old First Bank will hire over a thousand people for its 180 branches in the nation. First Bank said foreign banks mostly focused on customers on the top pyramid. Local banks on the other hand, strengthen in servicing customers on the lower and middle ranks, especially the residents living in the suburban areas.

＜肺癌的基因已經找到了＞
　　The X-ray reveals whether a malignant tumor has been found in the patient's lung. Many people see the discovery of a cancerous tumor in the lungs as equal to a death sentence, because in over 80% of lung cancer patients, by the time the tumor is discovered, it is too late to operate. But now, lung cancer patients have new hope. The National Health Research Institute's Genetics Division has discovered a mutated gene within the tumors of55% of lung cancer patients in Taiwan. If the gene is suppressed, the tumor will not expand further. A new type of drug is particularly effective in treating this type of situation, and can successfully shrink the tumor in under a month. Because in the past under 20% of lung cancer patients live more than five years, this new discovery brings hope to patients. The National Health Insurance Bureau is also preparing to cover this type of drug, which costs millions of NT per year, in its insurance plans.

＜生育率新低為何都不生＞
　　These children's innocent smile is the sweetest but yet also the biggest burden for most parents in Taiwan. According to a survey, more and more married couple choose not to have babies, making Taiwan's birth rate dropped to 1.2, ranking number 2 for the lowest birth rate country in the world. According to a survey conducted by Ministry of Health targeting residents aging between 20 to 39. About 60% of the residents express willingness to get married but 40% wish not to have kids. The main reason is because they don't want to bear the heavy education fee for the next generation. This kind of common thinking among married couples made Taiwan's birth rate not able pass an average of 2 kids in a family. Declining birth rate and increasing aging population worries Taiwan government. The government is now in hurry to come out with a promotion plan. Purpose is to encourage married couples give birth to babies with a healthy and welcoming attitude.

▌科學家發現盲人用第六感「看見」臉部情緒
▌科科報編輯小組˙著

　　英國威爾斯Bangor大學研究人員在《自然神經科學》期刊中發表研究報告指出，他們發現一名現年52歲的全盲男子可以利用「第六感」來辨識人類臉部表達的情緒。

　　這名被稱作「X患者」的男子因為兩度中風而使腦中處理視覺的部分受損，因而導致全盲。但科學家發現他的雙眼和視神經仍可運作，「X病患」是使用了腦中通常不會用來處理視覺的部分－右腦的扁桃體，來感應其他人發出的強烈情緒。

　　研究人員表示，「X患者」利用這項能力無法分辨正方形或圓形，也看不出無表情的臉或是臉的性別。但把憤怒或開心的人臉給他辨識的時候，他的準確度竟高達六成，明顯高於隨機瞎猜的準確率。

　從衿持的眼瞳穿透紅塵的薄紗
　偶來的蝴蝶停留在透明的廣口杯上
　唇吻間，有人繼續追尋夏末殘存的浪漫景象……

＜最高檢友宜共同記者會＞
　　　　The March 19 Shooting Investigation Team held a press conference on Monday to announce that bullets related to the shooting incident were manufactured by a man surnamed Tang. As Tang is a major supplier of modified artillery in the South, the the 9-month investigation has finally seen its first clue. As to whether the gun used in the attempted assassination was also supplied by Tang, and how the artillery were procured, still remains to be investigated. The team has put bullets produced by Tang on display and has released, for the first time, forensics photographs taken by Dr. Henry Lee. CIB Commissioner 侯友宜 indicated that blueprints of bullet designs found
in Tang's residence resembled the size and structure of bullets used in the March 19 shooting.Hou stressed, however, that the suspect's deposition still remains to be verified. Police authority's next step is to trace the channel through which the weapons were obtained. And to solve the case is still a long way.

　　　　誰說水溝蓋一定是又黑又髒呢？您瞧瞧，這粉紅色的是旗山鄉公所的水溝蓋，黃色的是大社鄉公所的水溝蓋，還有被偷怕的鳥松鄉公所，也換了新的溝蓋！因為這不是鐵製的，偷了沒得賣錢，所以沒人偷，由於是玻璃纖維製的，重量只有三分之一，但一樣耐重壓不會被偷，又像鐵的一樣堅固，還可以設計表面圖樣、顏色，價錢又低廉，或許這樣的水溝蓋，真的可以讓道路兩旁的水溝，不再偷不勝偷！

恐怖片 / 陳雋弘
─────────────────────
想起那些恐怖的日子
曾經在電影院裡驚慌大喊
回頭沒有半個人
往前拚命奔去
仍然來不及挽回的結局

每天行走在街頭
已經拔掉的
智齒又隱隱作痛
有什麼在半路上遺失了
譬如小孩
就再也找不回來

早已習慣了
開車時猛踩油門
小心翼翼的
綠燈又突然轉為紅燈
以為有個人會在對岸等
每次過與不過
都相當危險

不斷被湍急的大水沖回夢裡
無數時間的暗箭難防
是誰受了傷
又一再的復活
沒有絲毫的悔意

【台灣日日詩】不再彈琴的手 / 許齡芝
───────────────────
　彈奏的琴，吹按的笛
　早已遺留在三疊溪畔的故里
　
　徒留旋律的思憶，垂危
　攀附於不再彈琴的指尖——顫慄
　
　子孫似水流散，衰頹的古厝
　滿腹難以彈唱生之蒼茫
　
　徒留旋律的思憶
　隨不再弄笛的指掌空張，伸向

　虛空中不斷延伸
飄流無定，永恆的夢境

Everytime(歌詞/介紹)Everytime Lyrics

Artist(Band):Britney Spears

Notice me

Take my hand

Why are we

Strangers when

Our love is strong?

Why carry on without me?

(Chorus)

Everytime I try to fly, I fall

Without my wings, I feel so small

I guess I need you, Baby

And everytime I see you in my dreams

I see your face, it's haunting me

I guess I need you, Baby

I make believe

That you are here

It's the only way

I see clear

What have I done?

You seemed to move on easy

And everytime I try to fly, I fall

Without my wings, I feel so small

I guess I need you, Baby

And everytime I see you in my dreams

I see your face, you're haunting me

I guess I need you, Baby

I may have made it rain

Please forgive me

My weakness caused you pain

And this song is my sorry

(Ohhhhh)

At night I pray

That soon your face will fade away

And everytime I try to fly, I fall

Without my wings, I feel so small

I guess I need you, Baby

And everytime I see you in my dreams

I see your face, you're haunting me

I guess I need you baby
Everytime
