OVERQUALIFIED 大材小用

Image
(校稿後加上顏色的部份為修改之處) 「妳再說一次為什麼要作這份工作好嗎 ? 我們無法理解以妳的才學,根本大材小用 …… 」一些人最近跟我說。 “Can you tell us again why you have chosen this job? We just cannot comprehend that such an overqualified person like you would be here…” Some people told me lately.   另一位前兩天對我提及:「妳都不會憤怒嗎 ? 這些工作為什麼要妳來作 ? 妳還沒來之前他們怎麼辦 ? 」 One or two days ago, another said, “Are you not angry at all? Why do you have to do these works? Were you not here, what would they have done?   我一直不是非常清楚人們如何彼此定義對方,也許由於我太投入自己的職志,所以對這方面不大敏銳 ? 然而,很多人對我在工作上的選擇總是對我表達「在他們的眼裡完全不相稱」。 Often, I may be too devoted into tasks on my hands, I leading to my confusion regarding such practical matters as how people define themselves and each other.   在落後地區國家分享知識協助人們脫貧,關心我的人認為那是無給職而覺得「大材小用」了我; In the remote regions of the world where I have assisted those moving away from dire poverty, a lot of people concerning about my welfare believe I am overqualified since I am never paid.   在大學兼課,關心我的人認為大學竟然不聘我為正式教職員而覺得「大材小用」了我; Tea...

                                                                             上篇  PART I 影片乃由 PODCAST 元素製作,重點不在影片本身而側重中英對照談話內容。 錄製時間由於工作繁重,用字遣詞在未作手稿之下時有失誤敬請見諒。 These videos are created in accordance with the components of PODCAST which stress content of the Mandarin Chinese and English versions of the ideas presented. Due to the heavy workload, I could not have created a draft prior to the recording of such messages and there can be errors when words were spoken out; please kindly bear with these. 下篇  PART II I cannot stop counting my good fortunes daily: there are always people talking to me from every corner, from every heart or mind. I thank all of you for all the inspirations I have gotten, despite of the fact that I, too, am much swallowed by many tasks to deal with. I tend to beli...

Have A Little Faith—Continued (The Start of the Book) 繼續中英對照解說一本書的最前端

The recording messages of an interpretation of this part of the book were completed on Oct. 14, 2021. It has taken me quite a few weeks before I can sit down to produce some reflections towards this part of the story though, due to my current work load.  即便書籍內容解釋在 2021 10/14 便已完成,但由於目前工作量的緣故,竟然耗費了幾週時間才能將其他細節統整完畢,與大眾分享 ……   Some scenarios have taken place lately and I figure it would be the best if I keep a record here. Meanwhile, it should be the proper time for me to present another continuous part of Have a Little Faith. 一些在教學場景的落差中所發生的橋段,值得我在此註記,同時,我也該繼續描述 Have a Little Faith 這本書。                                                                      PART A                                   ...
