Vivian奶奶：沒關係，我知道。(That’s okay, I know.)我也很喜歡我家現在的樣子。(I also like the way my house looks now.) Amy：是誰來幫你整理的？(Who came to help you organize it?)

Do you plan to go to the festival to enjoy the lanterns?) 今天，Bear老師想給你們介紹一首大約一千年前跟情人、燈會有關的宋詞〈生查子──元夕〉，(Today, I would like to introduce to you a lyric from the Song Dynasty about 1,000 years ago, “Shēngzhāzǐ──Yuánxì”, which is about lovers and lantern festivals.) 作者是宋朝鼎鼎大名的文學家歐陽修。(The author is Ōuyáng Xiū, a very famous Song Dynasty poet and writer.) 〈生查子〉是曲調的名字 ("Shēngzhāzǐ " is the name of the tune.)。歐陽修為這首曲調寫了新的歌詞，並取名叫「元夕」。(Ōuyáng Xiū wrote new lyrics for this tune and named it "Yuánxì".) 從前的宋詞都配上了音樂，但是因為過了太久了，所以沒有人知道怎麼唱了，只留下美麗的文字讓我們欣賞。(In the past, Song Dynasty lyrics were set to music, but because so much time has passed, no one knows how to sing them anymore, leaving only beautiful words for us to appreciate.)不過，有些人為一些宋詞配上了新的音樂，所以，有的宋詞我們又能唱嘍。(However, some people wrote new music for some Song Dynasty lyrics, therefore, we can sing them again.) 「元夕」的意思就是「農曆年第一個月圓的夜晚」，("Yuánxì " means "the night of the first full moon of the lunar year",)也就是「農曆一月十五日的夜晚」，(that is, "the night of the 15th day of the first lunar month",)跟「元宵」是一樣的意思喔。(which has the same meaning as " Yuánxiāo".)所以農曆的一月十五日也叫「元宵節」。(Therefore, the 15th day of the first lunar month is also called "Yuánxiāo Festival".)至於為什麼也叫「燈節」，請聽聽第二十九集喔！(As for why it is also called “Lantern Festival”, please listen to the episode 29!) 現在，讓Bear老師來為你們讀這首詞：(Now, let me read this lyric for you:) 去年元夜時，花市燈如晝。月上柳梢頭，人約黃昏後。今年元夜時，月與燈依舊。不見去年人，淚溼春衫袖。現在讓Bear老師一句一句地給你們解釋：(Now let me explain it to you sentence by sentence :) 去年元夜時，花市燈如晝。意思是：去年的元宵節，花市裡的燈會，亮得跟白天一樣。 At last year's Lantern Festival, the flower market was as bright as the daytime because of the lanterns. 月上柳梢頭，人約黃昏後。意思是：我跟她約好了在黃昏以後，月亮爬到了柳樹枝頭上的時候見面。 I made an appointment with her to meet after dusk, when the moon climbed over the willow branches. 今年元夜時，月與燈依舊。意思是：今年又到了元宵節的夜晚，月亮和花燈還是一樣美麗。 It’s the night of the Lantern Festival again this year, and the moon and lanterns are still as beautiful as last year. 不見去年人，淚溼春衫袖。意思是：可是去年跟我在燈會見面的那個人已經不在了，讓我忍不住哭了起來，袖子因為擦眼淚都濕了。 But the person I met at the lantern festival last year is no longer there, and I cry uncontrollably. My sleeves are wet from wiping my tears. 這裡的「春衫」，意思不是「春天的衣服」，而是「年輕人穿的衣服」。(The "chūn shān" here doesn’t mean "spring clothes", but "clothes for young people".)這首詞寫的正是歐陽修年輕時候的回憶。(This lyric is about Ōuyáng Xiū's memories of when he was young.) 這首詞是歐陽修為了懷念他過世的妻子所寫的。(This lyric was written by Ōuyáng Xiū in memory of his deceased wife.)雖然是作者寫給妻子的，但這首詞卻讓Bear老師想起了童年時的回憶。(Although it was written to the author’s wife, it reminded me of my childhood memories.)小時候，Bear老師也會跟爺爺一起逛燈會，但是Bear老師的爺爺已經過世很多年了，因此，雖然現在每年的元宵節都依然有燈會，卻已經沒有爺爺陪我一起逛了。(When I was a child, I went to the lantern festival with my grandfather. However, my grandfather passed away many years ago. Therefore, although there are still lantern festivals every year, my grandfather no longer goes with me. ) 小朋友，你還小，所以大部分你愛的人都還在你的身邊，可是這並不是永遠的，因此，要珍惜與他們相處的每一刻。(Kids, you are still young, so most of the people you love are still with you, but this is not forever, so you must cherish every moment with them.) 請跟Bear老師再把這首詞念一次：(Please read this lyric with me again:) 去年元夜時，花市燈如晝。月上柳梢頭，人約黃昏後。今年元夜時，月與燈依舊。不見去年人，淚溼春衫袖。你記住了嗎(Do you remember it already)？如果還沒，別擔心(If not, don’t worry)。多念幾次，你就會記住了(You will remember it if you read it more)。小朋友，如果你想說「這真是美好的回憶」，用英文，可以怎麼說呢？ “What a beautiful memory！” 意思是「多麼美好的回憶啊！」請跟Bear老師再說一次： “What a beautiful memory！” 今年的燈會，希望你能跟家人一起好好地欣賞，留下永恆的美好回憶。(I hope you can enjoy this year's lantern festival with your family and have lasting, beautiful memories.) 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！

Reckless people are prone to making mistakes.)可是如果你太謹慎，什麼事都不敢放手去做，那麼就是膽小。(But if you are too cautious and dare not do anything, then you are timid.) 小朋友，你一定要又勇敢又謹慎，膽大心細，才能創新喔。(Kids, you must be brave and cautious, fearless and careful in order to innovate.) 第三組是龍和蛇。(The third pair is the Dragon and the Snake.) 我是一條龍，我很剛強。(I am a dragon, I am strong.)我是一條蛇，我很柔軟。(I am a snake, I am soft.)如果太剛強就容易被折斷；就好像在颱風當中，樹容易被吹倒，可是小草卻不會，因為小草特別柔軟。(If something is too unyielding, it will be easily broken; just like in a typhoon, a tree will be easily blown down, but the grass will not, because the grass is very soft.)但是，太柔軟的人沒有主見，就容易被別人牽著鼻子走。(However, people who are too soft have no independent opinions and are easily led by others.) 小朋友，可見，我們做人要剛柔並濟，才不會太固執或太軟弱喔。(Kids, so we can see that we need to be both strong and soft in life, so as not to be too stubborn or too weak.) 第四組是馬和羊。(The fourth pair is the Horse and the Sheep.) 我是馬，我總是往前衝。(I am a horse, I always rush forward.)我是羊，我總是合群。(I am a sheep, I always cooperate with others.)如果一個人只顧著往前衝而不顧旁人的感受，那一定會跟人發生衝突。(If a person only cares about moving forward and ignores the feelings of others, he will surely conflict with others.)但是如果只顧著配合他人，那就會失去自己的目標和方向。(But if you only focus on cooperating with others, you will lose your own goals and direction.) 小朋友，所以我們勇敢往前衝的同時，也要適時地停下來關心別人的需要。(Kids, so while we rush forward bravely, we must also stop and care about the needs of others at the right time.)要不然即使你達成了夢想，卻失去了家人、朋友，那麼你會快樂嗎？(Otherwise, even if you achieve your dream, but lose your family and friends, will you be happy?) 第五組是猴和雞。(The fifth pair is the Monkey and the Rooster.) 我是猴子，我很靈活。(I am a monkey, I am flexible.)我是雞，我很穩定。(I am a rooster, I am stable.)如果一個人能夠又靈活又穩定，那麼不但能夠隨機應變，(If a person can be flexible and stable, he will not only be able to adapt to changes,)還能持之以恆喔。(but also persevere.) 小朋友，不管做什麼事，一定要有恆心，並且根據情況修改你的方法，這樣才會成功喔。(Kids, no matter what you do, you must have perseverance and modify your methods according to the situation, so that you will succeed.) 第六組是狗和豬。(The sixth pair is the Dog and the Pig.) 我是狗，我很忠誠。(I am a dog, I am loyal.)我是豬，我很隨和。(I am a pig, I am easy-going.)如果一個人能夠又忠誠又隨和，那麼就不但能交到知心的好朋友，(If a person can be loyal and easy-going, he will not only make close friends,)也能多認識新朋友喔。(but also make more new friends.) 小朋友，人際關係是很重要的，你需要能和你談心的親密朋友，也需要能幫助你開開眼界的新朋友。(Kids, interpersonal relationships are very important.

The Japanese title means “give you a gift of gratitude”.)不過，臺灣的出版社給這本繪本取了一個新的中文名字「有你多麼幸福」。(However, the Taiwanese publisher gave it a new Chinese name – “Having you around makes me so happy”.)因為Bear老師的日文還不夠好，所以Bear老師讀的是中文譯本，然後，Bear老師再把這個故事翻譯成英文給你們聽。(My Japanese is not good enough, so I will read the Chinese translation, and then translate the story into English for you.)現在，我們來聽聽這個故事嘍！(Now, let’s hear the story!) 日文繪本《有你多麼幸福》/ a Japanese picture book “Having you around makes me so happy” 作者：宮野聰子 / Author：みやのさとこ中文翻譯：游珮芸 / Chinese translator You Pei-yun 森林的角落有一個大洞穴，大熊和小松鼠相親相愛的在那裡生活。 In the corner of the forest is a big cave, where two dear friends, big bear and little squirrel, live together. 每天早上小松鼠一起床，就開始打掃、洗衣服，然後做早餐。 Every morning when little squirrel gets up, he starts cleaning, washing clothes, and making breakfast. 大熊伸了個懶腰慢吞吞的以床後，就悠閒地在院子裡散步，然後為青菜和花朵澆水。 Big bear gets out of bed slowly, stretches, and takes a walk in the garden, where he waters the vegetables and flowers. 小松鼠也好喜歡慢吞吞的大熊，大熊也好喜歡充滿活力的小松鼠。 Little squirrel likes the big slow bear so much, and big bear also likes the energetic little squirrel very much. 有一天，小松鼠看著大熊，心裡想著……因為有大熊的細心照料，庭院裡才有這麼多美麗的花朵和好吃的青菜。 One day, as the little squirrel was watching the big bear, and thought to himself: it’s because of big bear’s care that we have so many beautiful flowers and delicious vegetables in the garden. 大熊也看著小松鼠，心裡想著……因為有小松鼠勤奮的清洗，家裡才有太陽味道的床單和柔軟蓬鬆的毛巾。 The big bear also looked at the squirrel, and thought: because of little squirrel’s careful cleaning, the house has sheets that smell of sunshine and soft fluffy towels. 溫暖的午後，兩個好朋友一起出門散步。 One warm afternoon, the two good friends went out for a walk together. 「大熊，我找到好多你喜歡的蘑菇喔！」 "Big Bear, I found a lot of those mushrooms you like!" 「這邊也有很多小松鼠喜歡的草莓呢！」 “Over here there are also a lot of little squirrel’s favourite strawberries!” 小松鼠一邊想著大熊，一邊摘蘑菇。「大熊會不會很開心呢？」 Little squirrel picked mushrooms while thinking about big bear. "I wonder if big bear will be very happy?" 大熊也一邊想著小松鼠，一邊摘草莓。「小松鼠一定會很高興吧！」 Big bear also picked strawberries while thinking about little squirrel. "Little squirrel will definitely be very happy!" 摘完蘑菇和草莓後，他們來到小河邊清洗。 After picking mushrooms and strawberries, they went to the river to wash. 「水好冰啊！」小松鼠說。 "The water is so cold!" said the little squirrel. 「不要緊吧？我們到草原上曬太陽。」大熊說。 "Are you alright? – let's go to sunbathe on the grass," Big Bear said. 「哇！大熊的肚子暖呼呼的！」 "Wow! Big bear's belly is so warm!" 「怎麼樣？是不是暖和了呢？」 “How’s that? You feel warmer now?” 「嗯，好溫暖，謝謝。」 “Oh, it’s so warm. Thank you.” 小松鼠為了感謝大熊，做了一頂花冠送給他。 To thank the big bear, little squirrel made a flower crown and gave it to him. 「呵呵，有點癢癢的。」 “Haha, it tickles” 「好看嗎？大熊，你喜歡嗎？」 “Does it look good? Do you like it?” 「嗯，很喜歡，謝謝。」 “Oh, I like it very much, thank you” 回到家後，他們一起準備晚餐。 When they got home, they prepared dinner together. 今天的餐點是磨菇煎蛋和草莓果醬麵包。 Today’s meal is mushroom omelette, and bread with strawberry jam. 吃晚餐時，大熊對小松鼠說：「小松鼠，謝謝你為我做的一切。」 During dinner, big bear said to little squirrel, "Thank you for everything you have done for me, little squirrel." 小松鼠睜大眼睛問：「怎麼了？為什麼忽然這麼說？」 Surprised, little squirrel asked, "What's wrong? Why did you say that?" 「我一直在想，乾淨的房間、有太陽味道的床單、好吃的早餐，還有花冠……全都讓我覺得好幸福喔！("I keep thinking that the clean room, the sheets that smell like the sun, the delicious breakfast, and the flower crowns… it all makes me feel so content!)『謝謝』一定是在感到幸福的時候才會說的話吧！("Thank you" must be the thing people want to say only when they feel content.”)」聽到大熊這麼說，小松鼠也說(Hearing big bear say this, the little squirrel replied:)：「我也一樣！(Me too!)因為有大熊，庭院裡才會有美麗的花朵和好吃的青菜；(Because of big bear, there are beautiful flowers and delicious vegetables in the garden;)餐桌上才會有整齊的碗盤和杯子。(there are neat bowls, plates and cups on the table.)而且你還溫暖了我的手！(And you keep my hands warm!)我很喜歡你為我做的一切，謝謝你為我做的所有事！(I love all the things you do for me, thank you for everything!)」到了該睡覺的時間。 It’s time to sleep. 小松鼠一邊打哈欠，一邊說：(The little squirrel yawned and said,)「哇！像這樣跟你一起睡覺，是我最幸福的時候唷！(Wow! Sleeping with you like this is the happiest time for me!)大熊，今天也是，謝謝你所做的一切。(Big Bear, today I feel the same, thank you for everything you did.)晚安…(Good night…)」小松鼠睡著了，發出呼嚕呼嚕的鼻息聲。大熊輕聲的說：(The little squirrel fell asleep and snored. Big Bear said softly:)「晚安。(Good night.)看著你睡著的臉龐，是我最幸福時候。(To see your face while you sleep is the happiest time for me.)謝謝你，一直在我身邊。(Thank you for always being by my side.)」那天晚上，小松鼠和大熊都沉浸在幸福的感覺裡睡著了。 So that night, big bear and little squirrel fell asleep full of contentment. 小朋友，你覺得幸福嗎？(Do you feel happy?)如果覺得幸福，你想感謝誰呢？(If you feel happy, who would you like to thank?)如果不幸福，你覺得應該怎麼辦呢？(If you are not happy, what do you think you should do?)Bear老師建議你，記錄下每天完成的事，並且想一想是誰幫你完成的。(I suggest you can record what you achieved every day and think about who helped you achieve it.)比如說，你平安地抵達了學校，你可以感謝路上指揮交通的警察；(For example, if you arrive at school safely, you can thank the police who directed traffic on the road;)你吃完了午飯，感謝為你準備食物的廚師；(after you finish lunch, thank the chef who prepared the food for you;)洗完了澡，感謝父母為你準備了溫暖的水。 (after you take a shower, thank your parents for providing warm water for you.)Bear老師知道，世界並不公平，總有讓你羨慕的人。(I know that the world is not fair and there are always people you might envy.) 但是Bear老師知道幸福的秘訣就是：珍惜你所擁有的。(But I know that the secret to happiness is: cherish what you have.) 如果，你想感謝某個人為你所做的一切，用英文，你可以怎麼說呢？ “Thank you for everything you have done for me.” 意思是「謝謝你為我所做的一切」。請跟Bear老師再說一次： “Thank you for everything you have done for me.” 小朋友，新的一年，Bear老師也謝謝你的陪伴。祝你幸福喔！ This new year, I also appreciate your company. Wish you happiness！我們下次見嘍！(See you next time!)

Amy：聖誕節你們收到了什麼禮物？(What gifts did you get for Christmas?)我收到了一件我很喜歡的毛衣。(I got a sweater that I like very much.) Robin：我收到了一輛腳踏車。(I got a bicycle.) Emma：哇！聖誕老公公對你好大方，我只收到了一雙手套。(Wow! Santa Claus is so generous to you, I only got a pair of gloves.) Robin：是我爸媽送的。(It was a gift from my parents.) 你不會真的相信有聖誕老公公吧？ (You don’t really believe there’s a Santa Claus, do you?) Emma：我寧願相信有。(I would rather believe there is.) Amy：欸，Jasper呢？(Hey, where is Jasper?) Emma：我剛剛碰到他，他看起來好像不太開心。(I just ran into him and he didn't look happy.) Robin：對啊，這幾天大家都在談收到了什麼聖誕禮物，可是他好像什麼都沒收到。(Right, everyone has been talking about what gifts they got for Christmas, but it seems he didn’t get anything.) Amy：新冠疫情的時候，他爸爸開的餐廳收起來了，所以這幾年他家的情況不太好。(During the COVID-19 epidemic, his father’s restaurant was closed down, so his family’s situation has not been very good the last few years.)好像去年他也沒收到禮物。(It seems like he didn't receive a gift last year either.)

Robin、Emma：嗯！我們晚上談談。(Let's talk this evening then.) ********************************************************************************************************* Amy：Jasper，最近怎麼樣？(How are you lately? ) Jasper：你們相信嗎？昨天聖誕老公公在我的抽屜裡留了一個禮物和一張卡片。(Well, can you believe this? Yesterday Santa Claus left a gift and a card in my drawer.)卡片上他跟我道歉。(In the card, he apologized to me.)他說聖誕夜那晚，他送禮物送著送著，忽然肚子痛，所以只好先回家了。因此今天才送禮物給我。(He said that on Christmas Eve, while delivering gifts, he suddenly had a stomachache and had to go home first. So he just gave me my gift today.) Robin：哇！真的嗎？聖誕老公公真的很在乎你。 (Wow! Really? Santa Claus really cares about you.) Emma：是啊！他還特地送禮物來學校給你。(Yes! He specially brought the gift to school for you.) Jasper：我真的很感動。(I’m really touched.)他知道我在努力學英文，所以送給我一本英文文法書。我很喜歡。(He knew that I’m learning English very seriously, so he gave me an English grammar book. I like it so much.) Amy：我很開心你喜歡這個禮物。(I'm glad you like this gift.) Emma：我們本來很擔心你會因為今年沒收到禮物而失望，現在放心了。(We were worried that you’d be disappointed not to receive a gift this year, but now we’re relieved.) Jasper：其實，你們一點都不必擔心。(Well, you really don’t need to worry.) Robin：為什麼？(Why?) Jasper：因為我已經擁有最棒的禮物了。(Because I already have the greatest gift.) Amy：那是什麼？(What’s that?) Jasper：就是你們啊！(It’s you guys!) 小朋友，對你來說，最棒的禮物是什麼呢？(What is the greatest gift for you?)希望你也能擁有最棒的禮物。(I hope you also have the greatest gift.) 還有，當你要送別人禮物的時候，用英文你可以說 “I got you something. I hope you like it.” 意思是「我有一個東西要給你，希望你喜歡。」請跟Bear老師再說一次： “I got you something. I hope you like it.” 小朋友，不管你今年有沒有收到聖誕禮物，不管你今年過得如何，都希望你擁有一個嶄新的一年。(Whether you received a Christmas gift this year or not, no matter how your year went, I hope you have a super new year.) 祝你2024年新年快樂！ (Happy New Year 2024!) 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！

EP.59 戰火下的聖誕老公公/ Santa Claus under the fire of war (Bear老師原創故事 #13)

本故事靈感來自於戰火下的兩個真實故事： (1)一位父親為了讓孩子能在戰火中正常生活，每當遠方的轟炸聲響起時，就帶著孩子唱歌，苦中作樂，讓孩子能夠堅強地活下去。 (2)記者詢問戰火中的一個小男孩有何希望，他卻反問記者：「我還能活著嗎？」 Bear老師小提醒： (1) 由於涉及戰爭這個殘酷的議題，期盼父母能與孩子一同聆聽，在必要時為其解釋、給予安慰。 (2) 戰爭雙方的百姓都是無辜的，本創作無意控訴任何一方，因此選擇了阿拉伯世界與西方世界的兩個名字Amal 與Olivia作為主角，分別意寓「希望」與「和平」，期盼兩個不同的世界能走向希望與和平。 🎧每個月15號、30號晚上8:00更新。 📜如果需要PDF文字檔或想知道更多關於每集的英語小知識，請追蹤： 🅸🅶：bear.bilingual 𝓕𝓑：Bear老師的中英雙語故事 (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085483186691) 🎁贊助連結：https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/f2cb33e1-02d1-4fce-9e8e-68b636579fd0 🧸如果家長您手頭方便也願意贊助，Bear老師感謝您的支持。本集背景音樂：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRkIL13jVXU&t=5303s 背景音樂：聖誕音樂：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NCcqmYCyoQ&list=PLTfzb4h-uy5wgUTZHzY0QQ9M5E9YjZ6Y3 幻想即興：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmeTrL4lBd0 命運交響曲：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFifaY_eZU0 新世界交響曲：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOofzffyDSA Hello, This is Teacher Bear，我是Bear老師。小朋友，聖誕節又快到了，你打算怎麼慶祝呢？(Christmas is coming soon, how will you celebrate?)你期待聖誕老公公會送來什麼禮物呢？(What gifts do you hope Santa Claus will bring?)你覺得世界上的小朋友都有機會收到禮物嗎？(Do you think all children everywhere have the chance to receive gifts?)讓我們來聽聽Amal和Olivia這兩位小朋友的故事。(Let's listen to the story of two children, Amal and Olivia.) Olivia：Amal，這麼晚了，你怎不在床上睡覺？(It’s so late, why don't you go to bed and sleep?)坐在窗邊做什麼？(What are you doing sitting by the window?) Amal：Olivia，你怎麼來了？(Why did you get here?) 我坐在這裡，因為我睡不著。(I am sitting here because I can’t sleep.) Olivia：我也睡不著，那邊又在轟炸了，我怕等一下會炸過來這裡。(I can't sleep either, they are bombing over there again, and I’m afraid they will bomb over here later.) Amal：別怕。(Don't be afraid.)就像院長教我們的一樣，把爆炸聲想成音樂。(It’s just like the Director taught us - think of explosions as music.) Olivia：太難了。(It’s too difficult.) Amal：試試看啊，不試你怎麼知道。(Just try. If you don’t try how can you know?) Olivia：好吧~~(All right~) Amal：你覺得這次像誰的音樂？(Whose music are you thinking of this time?) Olivia：蕭邦，幻想即興(Chopin，Fantasie Impromptu)。 Amal：哪裡像？(Why is it like that?) Olivia：哪裡不像？(Why not like that?) Amal：好吧。欸，又來了又來了，你聽。(OK … well, here it comes again, listen …) Amal：你覺得這次像誰的音樂？(You think it’s like whose music this time?) Olivia：貝多芬，命運交響曲(Beethoven，Symphony No. 5)。 Amal：對，我也覺得像。(Yes, I think so too!)啊！又來了又來了，這個很近。(Here it comes again … this one was close.) Amal：這次呢？(So, this time?) Olivia：德佛札克(Dvorak)！ Amal：你是不是覺得像新世界交響曲？(Like「The New World Symphony」?)？ Olivia：對，就像新世界。(Yes, like「The New World」.) Amal：咦，你聽到了嗎？(Hey, can you hear that?)外面好像有人在哭。(Sounds like someone crying outside.) Olivia：這麼晚了，會是誰呢？(It’s so late – who could it be?) Amal：走！出去看看。(Let’s go out and have a look.) Olivia：不行啊！很晚了，外面好冷。(No, it’s so late, and cold outside!)Amal………好吧！欸！等我！ (…OK, wait for me!) Olivia：咦，那不是聖誕老公公嗎？(Hey … isn’t it Santa Claus?)旁邊還有麋鹿。(He has reindeer there.) Amal：我聽說聖誕老公公只照顧一些小朋友，沒想到他會來找我們。(I heard that Santa Claus only takes care of some children, I didn’t expect that he’d come to us.) Olivia：才不是，聖誕老公公照顧全世界的小朋友。(No, Santa Claus takes care of children everywhere.) Amal：他為什麼坐在地上？(Why is he sitting on the ground?)臉好髒，衣服也破了。(His face is dirty and his clothes are torn.) Oliva：走，過去問他。(Let’s go over and ask him.) Amal：你是聖誕老公公嗎？(Are you Santa Claus?) Santa：是的，我是！(Yes, yes I am!) Olivia：真的是你！(You’re really him!) Amal：你為什哭得這麼傷心？你怎麼了？(Why are you crying like that? What happened?) Santa：我給你們孤兒院帶了好多禮物，(I brought a lot of gifts to your orphanage,)可是，剛剛一顆飛彈擊中我的雪橇，現在禮物全沒有了！我拿什麼送給你們？(but a missile just hit my sleigh and now all the gifts are gone! What can I give you?) Olivia：喔，謝謝你！可是真的沒關係。(Oh .. thank you! But it really doesn’t matter.)你受傷了嗎？(Are you hurt?) Santa：幸好我跟麋鹿都沒事。(Luckily, I and my reindeer are all fine.)可是，沒有禮物了，怎麼辦？(But if there are no gifts, what should I do?) Amal：你來看我們，就是最好的禮物。(You came to see us. That’s the best gift.) Olivia：是啊！我以為全世界都忘記我們了。(That’s right! I thought the whole world had forgotten about us.) Santa：喔！不不不，我沒忘記你們。(Oh! No, no – I haven’t forgotten you.) Amal：謝謝你，我會告訴其他小朋友的。(Thank you! I will tell the other children.) Santa：請告訴大家，我明年一定會再來，請等我。(Please tell everyone that you can expect me to visit next year – please wait for me.) Olivia：可是…我不確定明年我們還活著。(But … I’m not sure we’ll be alive next year.) Santa：喔！我可憐的孩子。真的對不起，真的對不起。(Oh! My poor kids. I’m really so very sorry.) Amal：Olivia，你不要亂說，你害聖誕老公公更傷心了。(Olivia, don’t talk like that. You made Santa even more sad.) Olivia：沒事，沒事，我亂說的，真的亂說的。(It’s fine, it’s fine – I really didn’t mean that.) Amal：警報聲響了，一定是炸過來這裡了。院長一定會急著找我們去地下室躲藏。(That’s the alarm sounding –the bombing is definitely coming this way now. The Director will be looking for us to go hide in the basement.)我們得走了。(We have to go.) Olivia：對，要是院長找不到我們，她會很擔心的。(Right – the Director will be very worried if she can’t find us.)你要不要跟我們一起去躲在地下室裡？(Do you want to come with us to shelter in the basement?) Santa：不行，我得快走了。(I can’t – I have to go.) Amal：那你一定要小心。(Then you really must be careful.) Santa：我會的，放心，麋鹿會帶我回去。(I will! Don’t worry, the reindeer will bring me back.)記得，要懷抱希望。等我，我一定會再來的。(Remember, have hope, and wait for me – I’ll definitely come back.) Amal、Olivia：嗯，我們答應你。(We promise!) Santa：快進去吧！(Quick, go inside!)聖誕節快樂！(Merry Christmas!) Amal、Olivia：聖誕節快樂！(Merry Christmas!)再見！(Goodbye!) Santa：再見(See you)！等我！(Wait for me!) Amal、Olivia：好！(OK!) Olivia：我們能嗎？(Can we?) Amal：我不知道，可是我們會努力試試看，對吧？(I don’t know, but we will try hard, right?) Olivia：嗯，我們會的。(Yes, we will.) Amal：快跑！(Run!) 小朋友，如果今年聖誕老公公沒給你禮物，可能是因為他沒時間修好他的雪橇，請不要失望。(If Santa Claus doesn’t bring a gift this year, maybe it’s because he didn’t have time to repair his sleigh; please don’t be disappointed.) 還有，在我們慶祝聖誕節的同時，有很多小朋友正活在戰火中，隨時都有可能喪命。(And remember that while we’re celebrating Christmas, there are children who are living through war, with their lives at risk.)因此，希望你也能為他們祈禱，祝他們平安、幸福。(So I hope you can pray for them and wish them peace and happiness.) 如果你希望神能夠保佑一個人，用英文，你可以說： “God bless you.” 意思是「神保佑你」。請跟Bear老師再說一次： “God bless you.” 小朋友，平安幸福的生活，不是理所當然的。(A safe and happy life is not something you can take for granted.)請珍惜你所擁有的一切，好好地發展自己的能力，並且善待他人。(Please cherish everything you have, develop your abilities well, and be kind to others.) 祝你聖誕快樂！(Merry Christmas!) 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！

An English Picture Book “I’m Not Grumpy ”/英文繪本《我的脾氣不暴躁》 Story by Steve Smallman /作者：史蒂夫‧史莫曼 Illustrated by Caroline Pedler/插畫家：卡洛琳‧佩德勒 On they trudged through the darkening forest. Little Badger yawned. (他們艱難地穿過黑暗的森林，小獾打著哈欠。) Squirrel(松鼠)：“She’s tired!(她累了！)” Squirrel said, as shadows stretched across their path.(松鼠說話的同時，他們拉長的身影映在了路上。) Owl(貓頭鷹)：“Well, it’s way past her bedtime.(嗯，已經過小獾睡覺的時間了。)” Mouse (阿鼠)： “I know! She’s tired, and hungry, and scared, and she needs her mum, and it’s getting dark, and……I don’t know what to do!(我知道！她又累、又餓、又害怕，她需要媽媽，而且天快黑了，而且……我不知道該怎麼辦！)” Squirrel (松鼠)： “There, there.( 秀秀，秀秀。)” Owl spread her wings, “I know what you need.” (貓頭鷹張開翅膀說：「我知道你需要什麼。」) Little Badger cheered(小獾歡呼著說)：“Hug!(抱抱！)” Mouse felt funny. Being a bit of a grumpy mouse, he didn’t get very many cuddles. (阿鼠覺得有一點尷尬又好笑，因為他是一隻脾氣暴躁的老鼠，沒有得到過太多的擁抱。) Suddenly, there was flash of grey in the bushes. (突然，有什麼灰色的東西從灌木叢中閃了過去。 ) Little Badger (小獾)：“Mummy?(媽媽？)” But it wasn’t Mummy Badger, It was…..a wolf! He swaggered over, licking his lips. (但這不是獾媽媽，而是……一隻狼！他大搖大擺地走過去，舔了舔嘴唇。) The wolf(狼)： “Look what we have here!(看看這裡有什麼！) A squirrel for starters(松鼠當前菜), a badger and an owl for the main course,(主菜是獾和貓頭鷹，), and a mouse for pudding!(飯後甜點是老鼠！)” Mouse(阿鼠)：“I am not a pudding! (我才不是飯後甜點！)And you can’t eat my friends!(還有你不能吃我的朋友！)” The wolf(狼)：“Says who?(誰說的？)” Mouse(老鼠)： “Me!(我！)” Squirrel(松鼠)： “And me!(還有我！)” Owl(貓頭鷹： “And me!(還有我！)” “And me!(還有我！)” shouted Mummy Badger.(獾媽媽喊。) The wolf took one look at her angry eyes and scarpered.(狼一看獾媽媽憤怒的眼神，就驚慌地跑走了。) Mummy Badger hugged Little Badger tight.(獾媽媽緊緊地抱住了小獾。) Mummy Badger (獾媽媽)：“Thank you all for bring her home!(謝謝你們大家帶她回家！)” Squirrel(松鼠)：“It was Mouse’s idea.(是阿鼠的主意。) ” Mummy Badger(獾媽媽)：“Well, thank you, Mr. ── wait a minute, Aren’t you the grumpy mouse who lives in the oak tree?(嗯，謝謝你，這位先生您……等一下，你不是那隻住在橡樹裡的脾氣很暴躁的老鼠嗎？)” Mouse (阿鼠)：“For the last time, I am not grumpy……at least, not anymore!(最後一次，我的脾氣不暴躁……至少……以後不暴躁了。)” And for the first time in a long time, Mouse smiled.(阿鼠笑了，他好久沒笑了。) “Because now I have friends,(因為現在我有朋友了，) and friends, well, that’s just what I need!(而朋友們，正是我需要的！)” 小朋友，現在你是不是放心了呢？(Do you feel reassured now?)你覺得阿鼠是一個好朋友嗎？(Do you think Mouse is a good friend?)你願意接受一個脾氣暴躁的朋友嗎？(Could you accept a grumpy friend?)如果朋友的脾氣暴躁，你要怎麼幫助他呢？(If your friend is grumpy, what can you do to help?)你覺得松鼠跟貓頭鷹的貼心，對阿鼠有幫助嗎？(When Owl and Squirrel were kind to Mouse, do you think it helped?) 而你，是一個脾氣暴躁的人嗎？(And how about you? Are you a grumpy sort of person?)脾氣暴躁的時候，可能對別人造成傷害，讓朋友離你更遠。(When you’re in a bad mood, you might hurt others and drive your friends away.)因此，一定要想辦法找出脾氣暴躁的原因，並且改正，這樣才不會讓身邊的人感到不舒服喔。(In that case you need to find the reason why you’re grumpy, and fix it, so your companions can feel comfortable around you.) 還有，如果某天你因為沒控制好暴躁的脾氣而傷害了朋友，用英文，你可以怎麼表達歉意呢？ “I lost my temper, I was wrong.” 意思是「我沒控制好脾氣，我錯了。」請跟Bear老師再說一次： “I lost my temper, I was wrong.” 小朋友，希望你不但能控制好脾氣，也能幫助脾氣暴躁的朋友。(I hope you can control your temper, and also help your grumpy friends.) 我們下次見嘍！(See you next time!)

He’s never been called a friend before. (阿鼠臉紅了。他從來沒被人稱為朋友。) When the rain stopped, Bear pointed them in the right direction. (雨停了，棕熊給他們指明了正確的方向。) “And you’d better hurry, it’s getting late!(你們最好快一點，越來越晚了！)” 小朋友，夜晚的森林是非常危險的(The forest at night is very dangerous)，你覺得他們能找到獾媽媽嗎(Do you think they can find Mummy Badger)？讓我們為他們祈禱(Let’s pray for them)，希望在下一集的故事當中聽到好消息(and hope we can hear good news in the next episode)。還有，你聽到阿鼠說“That’s just what I need!”，這句話如果直接翻譯意思是「這就是我需要的。」不過，當阿鼠脾氣暴躁地說這句話時，其實是一句反話喔，真正的意思是「我不需要這個」。因此，你在說這句英文時，要注意口氣。比如說(For example)，你正需要一枝筆，同學就借你一枝筆，這時你的口氣應該是 “That’s just what I need!”。可是，相反的，如果你寫功課寫著寫著，筆卻壞了，也沒有人能借給你一枝筆，害你不能完成功課，這時，你的口氣就是 “That’s just what I need!”，諷刺地說就是「好像我需要這個一樣」，其實就是「不需要」的意思。這樣，你懂了嗎？Do you get it? 請用開心的口氣跟Bear老師再說一次： “That’s just what I need!” 請用諷刺的口氣再說一次： “That’s just what I need!” 小朋友，請等待下一集喔(Please wait for the next episode)！我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！

And then we’ll go home.” Says Pete’s dad.(「最後一家，然後我們就回去嘍。」皮特的爸爸說。) Pete rings the bell. Ding-dong! (皮特按了按門鈴，叮咚!) “Yikes! It’s a spooky ghost! ” screams Pete. (「哎呀！是嚇人的鬼！」皮特尖叫。) “Don’t be silly, Pete. It’s just me.” says Grandma. (「別傻了！皮特，是我。」奶奶說). Callie and Pete get treats and hugs(凱莉和皮特不但得到了糖果，還得到了奶奶的擁抱)! Trick-or-treating wasn’t too spooky at all. It was actually full of sweet surprises.

(recording of the Century : Claudio Arrau) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUdoxvigIl8 Hello, this is teacher Bear. 我是Bear老師。小朋友，當你感到傷心時，你能怎麼辦呢(What can you do when you feel sad)？讓我們來聽聽這位小朋友的經驗(Let's listen to this kid's experience)。 An English Picture Book “When I’m Feeling Sad”/英文繪本《當我感到傷心時》 Author：Trace Moroney(作者：崔西摩洛妮) When I’m feeling sad I feel like someone has taken all the colours away……and everything is grey and gloomy and droopy. 當我感到傷心時，我覺得有人把顏色都帶走了，什麼都是灰色的，又陰沉又垂頭喪氣。 When I’m feeling sad I feel like I could cry…and cry…and cry soooo much that I make a flood! 當我感到傷心時，我覺得我只能一直哭，一直哭，哭得淚水氾濫成災。 I want to crawl into bed and pull the covers over my head…and stay there until the sadness goes away. 我想爬到床上用被子蓋住頭，就這樣一直在被窩裡待著直到傷心遠離。 Some things make me really sad…like when I hear Mum and Dad arguing, or when I am sick and my body doesn’t work properly…or when someone, or something, I love dies. 有些事真的讓我傷心，就像當我聽到父母吵架時，或當我的身體因為生病而不能正常活動時，或我所愛的死去時。 It’s okay to let yourself feel sad…but it could help to talk to someone about it. Sharing your feelings can sometimes make you feel better. 如果你覺得傷心，就傷心吧，沒關係的。不過，如果你能跟別人談一談，或把你的感覺說出來，有時候會有幫助的。 When I’m feeling sad, I try to be kind and gentle to myself. I like to soak in a big bubble bath, or listen to my favourite music. 當我感到傷心時，我試著對自己更好更溫柔。我喜歡洗個泡泡浴，或聽聽我最愛的音樂 Sometimes, just being with friends and family makes me feel better…even if I don’t want to talk. 有的時候，只是跟家人或朋友待在一起，即使我一句話都不想說，也能讓心情好些。 But the nicest feeling of all is when a kind person gives me a hug and says “Everything is going to be okay.” 但最好的感覺就是有一個體貼的人抱著我跟我說：「一切都會好起來的。」小朋友，其實最近Bear老師非常傷心，因為我心愛的狗狗過世了(I’m actually very sad recently because my beloved dog passed away)，我的心好痛好痛(My heart hurts so much)。不過我知道時間是最好的藥，我相信一切都會好起來的(But I know time is the best medicine and I believe everything is going to be okay)。. 如果你想安慰我或其他傷心的朋友，用英文，你可以說： “Everything is going to be okay.” 意思是「一切都會好起來的」。請你再用英文為我說一次，好嗎？ “Everything is going to be okay.” 小朋友，我知道一切都會好起來的(I know “Everything is going to be okay.”)。也希望你學會怎麼面對悲傷(I also hope you learn how to face sadness)。我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！
