一首名為「泡泡」的歌曲 A Song Named "BUBBLES"

歌曲和故事，將在台灣時間即將到來的週一上班時間，與幾百位小朋友全部試驗完畢之後，再行發表。

The song and story will be released after the experimental stage with hundreds of students ^^

A much respected friend of mine who has retired and since then, taking part in some voluntary services I am involved. Above would be our dialogue in which she referred to me as the person encouraging her to do so...這是和一位近日退休、令人尊敬的前輩的對談記實--

前輩退休後加入服務人群的志業，實為難得。

Warm encouragements from a much respected person who will retire from the field of education soon. He held the opinion that my creative works for the kids can be published in the (near) future...  自一位倍受人們敬重、即將自教育界退休的前輩而來的鼓勵之語……

This is another touching story which I might have mentioned yet not completely...這個，則是另一個也許曾經提過但並不全面的，動人的故事……

The story I will release in a video is from an inspiration of the World Cup to be held in recent days in Doha, Qatar. Much of the attention is on how much the nation has spent on the necessary or unnecessary stadiums built, the labors used or abused, fans to be traveling from all over the world for such a kind of mega global event, and so on. For me, I have become aware Qatar Airways has become world number one in its safety records; be it not due to the likelihood of an on-line fraud suggested by my own bank issuing a credit card after I had booked the tickets for my humanitarian efforts next January, I would have the pleasure be one of the passengers onboard of Qatar Airways. Quite positively, I will be recalling one scene or two when I am flying with that airline as a passenger of my own short-lived flight attendant career.

即將與學生們於課堂中談論的故事，其靈感是從近日即將在卡達多哈舉辦的世足賽而來。

 

全球的焦點都在於卡達這個國家所費不貲大興土木、勞力剝削、自世界各地遠道而來的各國球迷等等。

 

對我而言，因為我那短暫的飛行生涯的關係，曾經身為空姊的角色，使我特別注意到卡達航空已在世界飛安排行榜上名列冠軍；如果不是我自己的信用卡發卡銀行提醒，日前購買明年初國際服務所需使用的機票，可能面臨線上刷卡詐欺的風險的話，初始所訂的航班就是卡達航空。

 

如果坐上卡達航空的班機，我相信自己一定不改以往作風，在機上、在機場交朋友，以及在飛往服務地點過程中，印証一些自己身為組員時也曾經相遇相逢過的精采畫面。

 

 

As for the song, it is a result of the combination of the next theme, BUBBLES, in my 2nd-grade students’ learning career of their LIFE course, as well as another song created earlier this year for my older students. I have been planning this new idea for a while; nevertheless, the main inspiration did not arrive until my throat has become a lot more healthier after losing my voice for quite a few days.

 

至於在同一個影片裡面的這首歌，那是基於緊接著來臨，目前國小二年級學生「雙語生活」課程中的「泡泡」主題而設計，只是這首歌的自創弦律，取自於另一首本年度稍早的創作，但歌詞貼近了現在的「泡泡」主題。

 

而如果不是因為這陣子「失聲」後又回復，因此可以唱一唱的話，相信靈感的到來還需要一段時間。

 

 

I will be very much looking forward to seeing how my students react to both the song and the story. Meanwhile, I will keep reflecting my own role in the world filled with bubbles—dreaming or shattered ones—here and there.

非常期待看到我的學生們對於這樣的故事、這樣的歌，有什麼反應。

 

當然，藉由這樣的創作，我也希望自己在這個人們所處，大家都有著如同泡泡般美好的幻想得以實現、或者無法成就而破碎的世界中，時時刻刻思索及行動於自己存在價值的體現。

 

 

It is always a form of bless to be able to sing one’s own lyrics and/or to inspire through one’s specific footsteps. I am glad I am equipped with both qualities.

如果一個人可以唱出自己的歌，這是一種恩典；

 

如果一個人可以用自己的故事啟迪他人，這是一種喜樂：

 

很榮幸自己能夠擁有這些特質。

 

 

自然，我會期許自己不要浪費這些難能可貴的特質。
