【業力的黑洞】THE BLACK HOLE OF KARMA
(一)
「我不是叫你帶筆記本嗎?」
我看著男客人擺在桌上的那僅僅一張A4紙。
男客人不好意思地說:「我忘了。這是跟櫃台取的。」
「我千里迢迢來到這裡,因為你說你要改命。你就拿這樣一張借來的紙,來改命?一個半小時的看八字,夠你寫嗎?還是你不夠寫時,又要浪費我的時間去借紙?你的認真在哪裡?」
我雙眼直視著男客人的眼睛。
他連忙站起來,去借了多幾張A4紙。
•
(二)
「你怎麼帶那麼小的本子?夠寫嗎?」
我不可思議的看著,那如信用卡一般大的記事本。
男客人答:「可以啦!我只寫重點!」
「你這個是懶。我的每一句話都是重點。你的八字在我手上,你是怎樣的人,你不要以為我不知道。你不要跟我瞎掰,更不要有寫沒寫的,然後事後又發私訊重覆性的問回我一樣的問題,因為你沒有用心思寫下來。樓上有書店,要嘛你現在去買,我給你十五分鐘,要嘛我們今天就不看你的八字。你自己選。」
男客人十分鐘內,買了A4本子。
•
(三)
我為即將結婚的男客人看新家風水。
他來過我的風水講座數次,閱讀我臉書也有兩年多時間,應該很熟悉我的性格。事前,我提醒過他兩次要帶筆記本,兩次兩次他都跟我說謝謝提醒。
站在客廳看風水時,他抽出那張A4的屋子平面圖,壓在手掌心寫。
「我不是已經叫你帶筆記本嗎?」
他笑笑不語,沒有解釋,沒有道歉。
新家風水那麼重要,關係到你和你家人未來至少五年的興旺,你就在這一張軟綿綿的紙上寫兩個小時的筆記嗎?
以我對客人的要求,我本會叫他到外頭買筆記本,我們才繼續看風水。
但那天,現任屋主還住在那個單位,是特別約好時間讓我們進去看風水,對方也在等著我們完事後就要出門。
想想他過去兩年來常在我臉書貼文按讚,就給他一點面子,讓他在女朋友面前好下台,也算是報答他的支持。
於是,我看在眼裡,記在心裡。依我的經驗,沒把筆記寫好的,必會再來問我。
幾天後,他來訊詢問。當中有幾個問題,我當天已解說過。
我回他:「我雖不介意回答已經回答過的問題,但如果你那一天有帶筆記本,你必會抄下來。」
也就不用再問。
我也寫道:「我對你有點失望。」
他回我:「我明白也注意到你的失望。以後會更留意自己的念頭和舉止。」
「你應該跟我道歉。你忽視我的善意提醒本就不對。」
也猶如騙了我。如果你當初不想帶,直說,不要以假謝謝敷衍。
男客人過後道歉,也大方的同意我把這件事情寫出來,警惕大家。
如果你的未來註定會坎坷,無論是婚姻、事業、家庭或財富,你要比任何人都更注意你的一舉一動。
因為你細小的念頭,細微的決定,會一步一步引你掉入你命中註定的歹運。
你會漏掉寫下我千交代萬交代的事情。
你會寫錯、聽錯、記錯、做錯。
你身邊的人會影響你,告訴你不要聽我或任何能幫你改命的話,你如何如何讓她他不開心不舒服。
你會有錢也不要出錢,只是一直想博取我的同情,得到免費的幫助,然後稱說自己沒有錢。
你會任性,你會執著,你會覺得風水命理沒那麼厲害,你自己說了算,雖然你根本不怎麼樣。
因為你已變成一個弦线上的小木偶,被你那無情的業力操控著。
我的嚴厲,是要及時拉你一把,不要「青青菜菜」的過活,不要拖累你的家人和你一起遭業報。
不是每個人跌倒後,都能夠爬得起來。
誰不想做好人,讓每個人都喜歡自己?但自古,慈母多敗兒。
在現今社會裡,男人女人的自信,都是來自於事業,但每個人的幸福,都是源自於家庭。
所以千萬千萬不要自私。

“Didn't I tell you to bring a notebook?"
I looked at the lonely piece of A4 paper the male client placed on the table.
Slightly embarrassed, the male client said, "I forgot. This was obtained from the counter."
"I come all the way here because you tell me you want to change your destiny. You bring this kind of paper to change your life? My consultation is 1.5 hour and you think it's enough for you to write? Or when you run out of space, are you going to waste my time to go and borrow paper? Where is your seriousness?"
I looked at the male client straight in the eyes.
He hurriedly stood up and borrowed a few more pieces of A4 paper.

"Why did you bring such a small notebook? How is it enough for you to write?"
I looked at the credit-card-sized notebook incredulously.
The male client replied, "Can! I only write the important points!"
"This is your sloth. Everything I said is important. Your Bazi is in my hands. Don't think that I do not know what kind of person you are. Don't talk nonsense to me. Don't write selectively and then later send me PMs asking me the same questions that I have answered in this consultation, just because you didn't put in effort to jot it down. There is a bookshop upstairs. Either you go and buy now. I will give you 15 minutes. Or we will cancel today's consultation. You decide."
The male client returned with a brand new A4 notebook in ten minutes.

I was doing a Feng Shui audit for a male client who was getting married.
He came to my Feng Shui workshops a few times and have read my Facebook for over 2 years. Prior to the audit, I reminded him twice to bring a notebook and twice, he thanked me for my reminders.
While standing in the living room doing the Feng Shui audit, he drew out a A4-sized floorplan and wrote on it, with his palm as the backing.
"Didn't I already tell you to bring a notebook?"
He smiled back at me. No explanation. No apology.
The Feng Shui of a new home is so important because it determines the future of your family luck for at least the next 5 years. And you are going to write on this floppy piece of paper for the next 2 hours?
Given my expectations of clients, I would have told him to go and buy a notebook before I continued my audit.
But that day, the current owner was still living in the unit. It was by appointment that we were let in to get the Feng Shui audit done. The family was also waiting for us to finish things up, as they were going out.
I thought of the many times that he had Liked my FB posts these two years. So I decided to give him some face, and not make things difficult for him in front of his girlfriend. Also a very tiny way of me thanking him for his support all these while.
Hence, I put this incident in my heart. From my experience, I know that anyone who did not write the notes well will definitely come back to ask me again.
A few days later, he sent me messages, some of which were raising the same questions that I had explained on the day of the audit.
I told him, "While I do not mind answering the same questions again, if you had brought a notebook that day, you would have written it down."
You and I would not need to repeat ourselves again.
I also wrote, "I am slightly disappointed in you."
His reply, "Well noted on your disappointment. Will pay attention to own thoughts/actions for better changes."
"You should apologise to me. It is wrong of you to ignore my reminders to bring a notebook."
This is akin to lying to me. If you do not wish to bring, say it outright. Don't brush me off with perfunctory thanks.
He did apologised later and graciously gave me the permission to write about this, to remind my readers.
If your future is destined to be difficult, be it in your marriage, career, family or wealth, you must be extra observant of your every action and deed.
Because every little thought of yours, every seemingly minor decision you made, will lead you step-by-step to fall into the manhole of your pre-destined bad fortune.
You will miss out on what I repeatedly tell you to do.
You will write wrongly, hear wrongly, remember wrongly and do wrongly.
The people around you will influence you. They will tell you not to listen to me, or any well-meaning advice to transform your destiny. They will say that you doing so is making them unhappy and uncomfortable.
You will be unwillingly to fork out money even when you can afford it. You want to live off the compassion of mine and get free help, on the empty claim that you have no money.
You will be wilful. You will be stubborn. You will think that there is no big deal about Chinese Metaphysics and that what you say matters the most in your life. Despite not having any ability or past achievement to support that fat bold claim.
Because you have already become that little string puppet, being dangled around mercilessly by your negative karma.
My sternness is to pull you away from that manhole of mishaps. Do not live your life in a blur. Do not drag your family down with you to suffer at the hands of karma.
Not everyone can stand up right again, after a really bad fall.
Who doesn't wish to be that well-liked person? But since ancient times, an overly loving mother often leads to a useless son.
In modern society, the self confidence of every man and woman tend to come from his/her career. But happiness and bliss will always come from your family.
So never ever choose to be selfish.

「約翰走路:走遍世界的男人」
You’ve probably seen one of these, a LEGO brick, but have you ever wondered how would it all started, and why is it called LEGO? Actually, the name is much older than this plastic brick. Are you curious? Let me tell you how it all began.
你可能看過這其中之一,一塊樂高積木,但你有沒有想過這一切是如何開始的,以及它為什麼叫樂高嘛?事實上,這名字比這塊塑膠積木老得多了。好奇嗎?讓我告訴你這一切如何開始的。
Many years ago, there was a skilled and hardworking carpenter named, Ole Kirk Christiansen. Ole was a respected carpenter with his own company. But times were hard, so he didn’t have much money and had to dismiss his last worker.
許多年以前,有位技術高超、工作勤奮的木匠,他的名字是Ole Kirk Christiansen。Ole是名受人尊敬的木匠,並擁有自己的公司。但日子很困苦,所以他沒有太多錢,還必須解雇最後一名員工。
“Come on in.”
“ I’ve closed down the workshop and packed my thing.”
“Heh, thank you!”
“I suppose I’d better write you a paycheck.”
“Take care!”
「進來吧。」
「我已經關了木作工坊,也打包了我的東西。」
「啊,謝謝你!」
「我想我最好寫張薪水支票給你。」
「保重!」
“Well, that was the last one. I just didn’t imagine that it would come to this.”
“I know. It’s hard to understand, but at least now it can’t get much worse.”
「嗯,這是最後一名員工。只是我沒有想像會演變成這樣。」
「我知道。很難預料到,但至少不會再更糟了。」
But it did get worse. Shortly after, Ole lost his wife. But Ole was a special person. He wasn’t the type that gave up. And with the responsibility of his four sons, he had to think of something. Ole had gotten an idea. And for him, it never took long to put an idea into action. Ole’s little invention made his boys so happy that he thought maybe he should start making toys. Ole decided to give it a try. Luckily, he had saved up a lot of wood from the carpentry production. He can now use it to make toys.
但事情確實更糟了。不久後,Ole失去了他的妻子。但Ole是個特別的人。他不是那種會放棄的人。為了要對四個兒子負起責任,他必須要想些辦法。Ole想到了個點子。而且對他來說,要將點子付諸行動從來不需花太多時間。Ole的小發明讓他的兒子們非常開心,所以他想也許他應該開始做玩具。Ole決定要試一試。幸運的是,他曾儲存了許多製作木器用的木料。他現在可以用這些來做玩具。
Time passed by, and even though Ole was a skilled carpenter and had a good eye for quality and detail, sales were very slow. Luckily, one of his sons, Godtfrey, started helping out his dad after school. Together, they just barely managed to keep up the production. Eventually, word began to spread that wooden toys of the finest quality were being made in a little workshop in Billund.
時光流逝,而且即使Ole是名技術高超的木匠,並對品質及細節有好眼光,銷售還是非常緩慢。幸運地,他其中一個兒子Godtfrey開始在放學之後幫助他的父親。他倆一起還是只能勉強維持產量。最後,開始口耳相傳在Billund有間小木作工坊生產品質最好的木製玩具。
One day, a man drove into town — a man who would change Ole’s future. He was a wholesaler from Frederitia.
有一天,一名男子開車到城裡來–一個將會改變Ole未來的男人。他是從Frederitia來的批發商。
“I’ve heard that you’re making some very nice wooden toys.”
「我聽說你生產非常精美的木製玩具。」
“Well, one does his best.”
「這個嘛,竭盡我所能囉。」
The wholesaler was very impressed with all the wooden toys and placed a big order before he left.
這批發商對所有木製玩具印象非常深刻,並在離開前開出一筆大訂單。
“Now there’s finally someone who can see the opportunities and what we are doing.”
“Look at this. The wholesaler wants to put a lot of our toys into his store for the holidays.”
“It’s going to be a good Christmas this year, but we’ll be busy.”
「現在終於有個人看到這些機會、看到我們在做的事。」
「看這個。那個批發商想在假期期間在他的店裡放上很多我們的玩具。」
「今年的聖誕節會很好過,但我們會很忙。」
Now, there was a lot to do in the little workshop. And Ole could rehire his former workers. Ole only used the highest quality wood, which was hand-picked and very carefully prepared. They worked day and night to get the order finished, so the wholesaler could get the toys out in stores before Christmas.
現在這間小木作工坊有許多事要忙。而且Ole可以重新聘僱他以前的員工。Ole只用最高品質的木頭,這些木頭都是親手挑選的,並經過非常細心的準備。他們日以繼夜地工作以完成訂單,以能讓那位批發商能在聖誕節以前將這些玩具放到店裡。
“Is there something wrong, Dad?”
“I’m afraid that we’re… in big trouble.”
「發生什麼事了嗎?爸爸?」
「恐怕我們…有大麻煩了」
In the middle of their work, Ole received a letter saying that the wholesaler had filed for bankruptcy, and couldn’t buy the toys that he had ordered.
在他們工作進行到一半時,Ole收到一封信,上面寫著那名批發商已申請破產,不能買下他之前訂的玩具。
“But what are you gonna do? What about Christmas? Now we can’t even afford food?”
“I’ll do it.”
“What are you gonna do, Dad?”
“I’ll do it myself. I’ll drive around selling the toys.”
「但你要怎麼做?聖誕節怎麼辦?現在我們甚至買不起食物?」
「我會做。」
「你要怎麼做?爸爸?」
「我自己做。我會開車兜售這些玩具。」
There was no time to lose. Ole packed the car with all the toys and drove off. Ole was a very good toy-maker but was not a very good salesman. He didn’t like praising himself or talking about how carefully the toys have been made, but he had to keep trying if he is going to sell anything.
沒有時間浪費了。Ole將所有玩具裝進車裡,並開車離開。Ole是名很優秀的玩具製造者,但卻不是位優秀的銷售員。他不喜歡吹捧自己,或說這些玩具是如何細心地製作出來的,但如果想賣出任何東西,他就必須要繼續嘗試。
“This is going to be a blast. Is there anything you are interested in?”
“It looks exciting, but I don’t have a lot of money right now. Maybe we could trade in and call it even.”
“Well, I would prefer money, but…”
「這會造成轟動的。有任何你感興趣的東西嗎?」
「這看起來很振奮人心,但我現在沒有很多錢。也許我們能以物易物然後扯平。」
「這個嘛,我比較想收錢,但…」
In the end, he succeeded in selling all the toys. He didn’t receive as much money as he had hoped. But the family managed, and they had plenty of food for Christmas. Time passed by, but the toys didn’t sell as quickly as they had expected. Ole thought perhaps the company needed a good name.
最後,他成功地賣出所有玩具。他收到的錢並沒有他期望中的多。但家計得以維持,他們也有許多食物過聖誕節。時光流逝,但玩具賣得並不如預期般的快。Ole想,也許公司需要一個好名字。
“What should it be? It has to be a short word. I wanted to convey ‘playing well’.”
「應該叫什麼?它必須要是個簡短的字。我想要傳達『好好地玩』。」
In Danish, “playing well” is called “LEG GODT”.
丹麥文中「好好地玩」叫做「LEG GODT」。
“What should it be? What should it be? Yeah… If only I could get some sort of a sign…”
“LEGO.”
「要叫什麼?要叫什麼呢?對啊…如果我能有個像招牌的東西的話…」
「LEGO(樂高)」
As you can see, Ole himself ended up finding a very suitable name. But what he didn’t know was that in Latin, the word “LEGO” means “I put together”. The name “LEGO” was well received. And the company slowly started to move forward.
你可以看到,Ole最後幫自己找了個非常適合的名字。但他不知道的是,在拉丁文中,「LEGO」這個字的意思是「我組在一起」。「樂高」這個名字的接受度很高。而且公司開始慢慢地向前進。
“We have made 3,000 Krones this year. And we have more orders than usual.”
“Did you say 3,000 Krones? Huh, then you need to see what I’ve been looking at.”
“We have made 3,000 Krones this year. And we have more orders than usual.”
“Did you say 3,000 Krones? Huh, then you need to see what I’ve been looking at.”
「我們今年賺了3,000克朗(丹麥、挪威貨幣單位)。而且我們接到比平常更多的訂單。」
「你是說3,000克朗嗎?哈,那你應該要看看我已經看了好一陣子的東西。」
Even though Godtfred wasn’t comfortable spending money on a milling machine, he could see that it was useful, and that the quality of the toys improved.
即便Godtfred對於花錢買刻磨機感到很不舒服,他還是知道那很有用,而且也改善了玩具的品質。
“Could you finish the last batch and get it ready for shipping?”
“I will.”
“Dad…. dad, I saved a lot of money for the company today.”
“Really!? How?”
“I figured we could save money in the lacquer. Just like only coated the ducks twice instead of three times.”
“You What?”
「你可以完成最後一批並準備好裝運嗎?」
「我會的。」
「爸…爸,我今天為公司省下了很多錢。」
「真的嗎?怎麼做的?」
「我想到我們可以省下亮光漆的錢。像是在鴨子上只塗上兩層,而不是三層。」
「你做了什麼?」
Unfortunately, Godtfred’s idea didn’t go over well with Ole. Ole made Godtfred unpack all the ducks himself, give them the last layer of lacquer and bring them back to the train station. Ole believed in high quality and not cheating his customers. When Godtfred returned, Ole explained that that wasn’t the way to create a good brand. This little lesson opened Godtfred’s eyes to the fact that every detail matters and only the best is good enough.
不幸的是,Godtfred的主意並沒有過Ole那關。Ole要Godtfred自己從箱子取出那些鴨子,塗上最後一層亮光漆,並將它們運回火車站。Ole相信高品質,以及不能欺騙他的顧客們。當Godtfred回去時,Ole解釋那不是個創造好品牌的方式。這小小的一課打開了Godtfred的眼界,讓他知道每個細節都很重要,而且只有做到最好才算夠好。
In the late 1930s, LEGO was making a profit, even when The Second World War broke out. They tried to make the best out of a difficult time. It seemed nothing could go wrong. But a stormy night in 1942 changed their luck.
在1930年代後期,樂高開始賺錢,甚至第二次世界大戰爆發時也有盈利。他們試著充分利用這艱鉅的時期。似乎沒有任何事可以出錯。但1942年一個暴風雨的夜晚改變了他們的命運。
“There’s a fire. The workshop is on fire.”
「發生火災了。木作工坊起火了。」
But when the firemen arrived, they were unable to save the workshop. It burned to the ground, and all the drawings and models were destroyed. Ole was beginning to lose hope. All that he had worked for was gone, and he almost lost his company. But being responsible for his children and workers inspired him to rebuild LEGO. A new factory was constructed. Soon the production of wooden toy started again. The little company fought its way back into the market. Gradually, the LEGO factory began to run smoothly, and Ole started looking for new challenges.
但當消防隊員抵達時,他們已經無法救回木作工坊了。它被燒毀夷為平地,所有的草圖和模型也都被破壞殆盡。Ole開始失去希望。他所有的心血都沒了,他還差點失去他的公司。但對他的孩子和員工負起責任這件事,鼓勵了他重建樂高。他建了一座新的工廠。很快地再次開始木製玩具的生產。這間小公司奮力找到重回市場的路。漸漸地樂高工廠開始順利地營運,而Ole開始尋找新的挑戰。
One day, he went to Copenhagen to look at a new machine that had just arrived in Denmark. It was a plastic molding machine, and Ole was very excited about it.
有一天,他到哥本哈根去看一台剛送到丹麥的新機器。那是台塑膠成型機,Ole對此感到非常興奮。
“Should we buy it? It sure is a good bargain, and it would give us a lot of opportunities.”
“Well, it does sound interesting, but it is a lot of money.”
“I’ll take that as a ‘yes’.”
「我們應該買嗎?它確實很划算,而且會帶給我們很多機會。」
「這個嘛,聽起來很有趣,但這是很大一筆錢。」
「我就當你答應了。」
When the plastic molding machine finally arrived, Ole started making little plastic Teddy Bears and rattles. But he still had the plastic brick that he had received at the fair. There was something about them that he couldn’t stop thinking about. And even though no one else could see the potential in them, Ole decided to redesign and put them into production. But it was when LEGO first launched the great Ferguson Tractor that the plastic toys became a success. Unfortunately, the sales were dropping during the summer, and the company had too many toys in stock.
當塑膠成型機終於送達時,Ole開始製作小塑膠泰迪熊和波浪鼓。但他仍留著他在商展上拿到的塑膠積木。他就是無法停止思考有關這些塑膠積木的可能性。即使沒有人能在它們之中看到潛力,Ole還是決定要重新設計並生產它們。但直到樂高首次推出大Ferguson拖拉機的時候,塑膠玩具才取得成功。不幸的是,銷售量在夏天時開始下跌,而公司有太多的玩具庫存。
“This can’t be right. Of course, our products can be sold the whole year, not only for Christmas.”
「事情不該是這樣。當然,我們的產品全年都可以銷售,不只有在聖誕節時才能賣。」
Godtfred decided that he would go out and sell the toys himself. Godtfred brought his wife Edith as company and moral support.
Godtfred決定他要自己出去賣這些玩具。Godtfred帶著他的妻子Edith作伴以及精神支持。
“If you can’t get cash then… hmm… We need butter and eggs.”
「如果你不能換到現金那麼…嗯…我們需要奶油和雞蛋。」
Well, it wasn’t that bad. Godtfred was a success in his trip around the country which helped LEGO to get out of its financial crisis. They reached home just in time for Ole’s birthday party. Ole turned 60 and the whole family was gathered to celebrate with him.
這個嘛,事情沒那麼糟。Godtfred環遊全國的兜售行程很成功,這幫助樂高度過財政危機。他們到家時正好趕上Ole的生日派對。Ole 60歲了,全家都聚在一起為他慶祝。
“Well, I guess it was a long trip around the country.”
“Hey, I got an idea. Ugh, listen! Listen! What about a picture with the three generations?”
「嗯,我猜這趟環遊全國的旅程很漫長。」
「嘿,我有個想法。喂,聽好!聽好!拍張三代同堂的照片如何?」
Everyone thought that was a good idea, and we were placed on the sofa with all the presents and flowers around us. On a business trip to England, Godtfred met the head of a big shopping center on his way home. They discussed the toy industry, and the conversation would be very important to the future of LEGO.
每個人都覺得那是個好主意,我們坐在沙發上,四周都是禮物和花。在英國出差的時候,Godtfred在回家路上認識了一個大型購物中心的領導人。他們討論了玩具產業,那段對話對於樂高的未來會是非常重要。
“Damn this industry! I just think that toys are no good nowadays.”
“What do you mean? I think they are working very well.”
“Oh, they work fine, sure! But there’s no system in anything.”
“System?”
“System? Hmm, there isn’t any system…”
“What in the world are you doing, Godtfred?”
“There isn’t any system. The toys need an idea and a system built around it.”
“I wanna put system in the play. Children have only been offered ready-made solutions.”
“They need something different that will strengthen their imagination and creativity.”
“So, you are trying to put LEGO into a system? Interesting.”
「該死的產業!我就是覺得現在的玩具都不好。」
「你是什麼意思?我覺得他們運作得很好呀。」
「喔,他們運作的還可以。當然啦!但沒有任何東西是有系統的。」
「系統?」
「系統?嗯,沒有任何系統…」
「Godtfred,你究竟在做什麼?」
「沒有任何系統。這些玩具需要有一個概念,並要建立一個環繞的系統。」
「我想要在遊戲中放進系統。孩子們一直以來都只接受現成的解決方式。」
「他們需要一些不同的東西來增強他們的想像力及創造力。」
「所以,你要將樂高系統化?這有趣了。」
That same year, LEGO started producing the first LEGO system of play. Children could now build houses from the LEGO bricks. The Town Plan gave play a realistic town setting, and with this, children learned about traffic safety. My sisters and I could play with the new LEGO system for hours. Some people said we were the luckiest children in the world, because we grew up in a toy factory. It was a huge breakthrough, and Godtfred decided to try selling it outside of Denmark. The system of play was so popular that they managed to sell it to many countries.
同一年,樂高開始生產第一個樂高系統遊戲。孩子們現在可以用樂高積木蓋房子。「城鎮計畫」讓遊戲有真實的城鎮背景設定,孩子可以從中學到有關交通安全的事。我和姊妹們可以玩新的樂高系統玩好幾個小時。有些人說我們是世界上最幸運的孩子,因為我們在一個玩具工廠裡長大。那是個很大的突破,而Godtfred決定要試著在丹麥以外的地方銷售。這種系統遊戲非常受歡迎,使得他們能在許多國家販售。
“Look what I just built!”
“That is really nice, Cal.”
「看我剛剛蓋了什麼!」
「這真的很棒,Cal。」
Even though LEGO was meant for only building houses, there was still a lot of opportunity. There was just one problem.
雖然樂高只供蓋房子用,仍然有許多可能性。只有一個問題。
“Hmm, I can’t lift it up. It keeps falling apart.”
「噢,我不能把它拿起來。它一直垮掉。」
That made Godtfred wonder. He wanted to find a way to make the LEGO bricks stick together, but that was easier said than done. Godtfred noticed that the LEGO bricks got a better clutch powers with tubes inside. Now, it was no longer just bricks but a whole construction system with endless possibilities. This was groundbreaking for the LEGO product. With a child’s imagination, LEGO could be anything in the world over and over again. The imagination is the limit.
這讓Godtfred感到好奇。他想找出方法讓樂高積木能卡在一起,但說的比做的容易。Godtfred注意到樂高積木在內裡有管狀結構時能有更強的抓力。現在,這不只是積木而已,更是一個有無限可能性的整個建築系統。這為樂高產品的新紀元奠基。有了孩子的想像力,樂高可以一次又一次地做出世界上任何東西。想像力就是極限。
“Look, Dad! Now, I can build everything.”
「看,爸!現在,我可以蓋出所有東西。」
Unfortunately, Ole never got to see how successful the little brick actually became. Godtfred was left on his own, and he had to go through another fire at LEGO that destroyed most of the wood production. Just like his father, Godtfred knew that he had to try to get the best out of any situation and never give up. Godtfred took the hard times with his head held high. As sales grew, the company also got bigger. He had to think ahead, and he decided not to resume the production of wooden toys and to only focus on the LEGO system. It turned out to be a great decision. Many new models were built, and LEGO got stronger in the toy industry.
不幸的是,Ole再也看不到這些小積木竟然變得多麼的成功。Godtfred只剩自己了,而且他必須要走過另外一場燒毀樂高大部分木製產品的大火。但就像他的父親,Godtfred知道他必須要嘗試充分利用任何情況,並永不放棄。Godtfred抬頭挺胸的度過這困難的日子。隨著銷售成長,公司也日益壯大。他必須要預作打算,而他決定不再製造木製玩具,只專注在樂高系統。結果這是個重要的決定。許多新的模型被建造出來,樂高在玩具產業越加壯大。
“Sir, which one of these do you think is the best?”
“Hmm… Errr… that one!”
「先生,你認為哪一個最好?」
「嗯…嗯…那個!」
Even though it got busier at LEGO, Godtfred still had bigger plans. Now, he wanted to build an airport. So, it would be easier to sell his toys to the whole world. Like father, like son. It didn’t take long to put his idea into action. Only three years later, Billund airport was opened. The many guests and business connections who visited the company always wanted to see the modeling department. Gradually, it got so crowded that it was hard for the employees to keep up their work.
即使樂高變得更忙了,Godtfred仍有更偉大的計畫。現在,他想要建一座機場。這樣就能更容易向全世界銷售他的玩具。有其父必有其子。要將他的想法付諸行動並不用花太長時間。短短三年後,Billund機場開張了。許多曾到訪公司的賓客及商務往來的客戶總是想要看模型樣品部門。漸漸地,公司變得太擁擠,使得員工很難繼續他們的工作。
“I think we’d better wait a while.”
「我認為我們最好等一下。」
Godtfred could see that something had to be done. He needed a bigger place to display the LEGO models.
Godtfred發現還有些待辦事項。他需要更大的場地來展示樂高模型。
“Err, I don’t wanna interrupt. So, I’ll just put this package of our new LEGO train, err… on the table.”
“Just put it there. Train?”
「阿,我不是想打斷你。所以,我只要把這盒新的樂高火車放到,啊…桌上?」
「就放在那裡。火車?」
The idea grew quickly from an exhibition room to an amusement park.
這個點子很快地就從一間展覽室發展成一座主題樂園。
“And then, we could have a tower so you could look over the whole park from above — the whole town.”
“It would be a land made out of LEGO — LEGO Land.”
“Well, it looks interesting. But how many visitors are you actually counting on?”
“Well, I guess… uhmmm… two hundred, three hundred thousand?”
“Three hundred thousand?”
「然後,我們可以蓋座塔,這樣你從上面就能俯瞰整座遊樂園–整個城鎮。」
「這會是個用樂高做出的樂土–樂高世界。」
「嗯,這看起來很有趣。但你究竟期望有多少遊客?」
「這個嘛,我猜…嗯…二十,三十萬?」
「三十萬?」
Even though it sounded like a lot, my dad was actually pretty far off the mark. There were six hundred thousand guests the very first year. My family and I were there to greet the guests. We’ve kept up this tradition ever since. Now, you know how it all began. LEGO wouldn’t be what it is today if it hadn’t been for my grandfather’s sense of quality and search for perfection. My father firmly believed in the endless possibilities of the LEGO system. I seek to take the LEGO idea even further. Encouraging children to explore, experience and express their own world — a world without limits. And we are still convinced that only the best is good enough, because children deserve the best.
雖然這聽起來好像很多,我的父親確實離這個目標很遠。在開始的第一年就有六十萬名遊客。我和家人都到場招呼遊客。自此之後我們一直維持這個傳統。現在,你知道這一切是如何開始的。如果沒有我的祖父對品質的意識以及對完美的追求,樂高不會有今天的成就。我父親深深地相信樂高系統中無限的可能性。我尋求更進一步地推動樂高理念。鼓勵孩子探索、體驗及表達他們自己的世界–一個沒有限制的世界。而我們仍然相信只有最好才算夠好,因為孩子們應該得到最好的。

各位大家好,歡迎來到HenHenTV的奇異世界,我是Tommy。
從小都有聽一些童謠長大吧~其實那時那裡會知道童謠的歌詞真實意思呢!我們都是跟住童謠的旋律在唱,好像是这一首:小宝宝,吃蛋糕,饭仔mam mam 叔叔餵到。。。。
, 或者是:London bridge is falling down...等等的童謠,你確定你真的明白他的意思?
今天我們就來說六個童謠背後的恐怖故事,为什么是六個?!!!因为我没时间做够十個!
6倫敦橋倒塌下來了(London Bridge is falling down)
大家都有玩過這個遊戲和唱過這首歌吧?這橋建於1014年,英國國王為了抵抗丹麥的入侵而燒毀了這條橋,在1091年被暴風雨摧毀,然後在重建,在1136年被燒毀。然後就開始建石橋,上面那時是有商店,屋子,教堂等等,但是在1212發生了一場大火,它是從石橋的兩端燒起,結果燒死了3000多人,也有一個傳說就是有人提倡人柱,就是把小孩子活埋在基石下面,就可以穩固橋不會再倒塌。
5. 十個小黑人 ten little Indians
Ten little nigger boys went out to dine;
十個小黑人出外用膳;
One choked his little self, and then there were nine.
一個噎死還剩九個。
Nine little nigger boys sat up very late;
九個小黑人熬夜到很晚;
One overslept himself, and then there were eight.
一個睡過頭還剩八個。
Eight little nigger boys travelling in Devon;
八個小黑人在到丹文遊玩;
One said he'd stay there, and then there were seven.
一個說要留在那兒還剩七個。
Seven little nigger boys chopping up sticks;
七個小黑人在砍柴;
One chopped himself in half, and then there were six.
一個把自己砍成兩半還剩六個。
Six little nigger boys playing with a hive;
六個小黑人玩蜂窩;
A bumble-bee stung one, and then there were five.
一隻黃蜂叮住一個還剩五個。
Five little nigger boys going in for law;
五個小黑人進入法院;
One got in chancery, and then there were four.
一個被留下還剩四個。
Four little nigger boys going out to sea;
四個小黑人到海邊;
A red herring swallowed one, and then there were three.
一條紅鯡魚吞下一個還剩三個。
Three little nigger boys walking in the Zoo;
三個小黑人走進動物園裡;
A big bear bugged one, and then there were two.
一隻大熊抓走一個還剩兩個。
Two little nigger boys sitting in the sun;
兩個小黑人坐在太陽下;
One got frizzled up, and then there was one.
一個熱死只剩一個。
One little nigger boy living all alone;
一個小黑人覺得好寂寞;
He got married, and then there were none.
He went and hanged himself, and then there were none.
他結婚後一個也不剩。
他上吊後一個也不剩。
在歌詞裡面十個小黑人,最後一個也不剩。
這首歌詞原版是的小黑人nigger,過後被譯為小印第安人(nigger是非常帶有種族歧視的字眼)
到最後一個小黑人他覺得很寂寞,就自己上吊自殺了,過後因為覺得不適合兒童而改成結婚。而這首童謠也因為這黑暗的歌詞而被改成推理小說(無人生還 and then They Were None)大家可以去找這本書看看。而過後因為太過有種族歧視的意思在裡面而被改成現在的那首one little,two little,three little Indians。。。
4. Lizzie Borden took an Axe (莉淇波登拿了斧頭)
這首歌聽起來已經是毛骨悚然的,裡面的歌詞更是恐怖。它的歌詞如下:
Lizzie Borden took an axe, 莉琪波登拿起斧头
and gave her mother forty whacks. 劈了妈妈四十下
When she saw what she had done, 当她意识到自己的行为,
she gave her father forty-one. 又砍了爸爸四十一下。
这首童谣来自一个真人真事。在1892,一名美國银行家银行家安德鲁波登(Andrew Borden)被他33 岁的女儿莉兹波登(Lizzie Borden)发现用斧头砍死在屋内,之后莉兹的继母又被发现被斧头砍死在二楼。聽說是她殺了繼母過後被她爸爸發現而順手也殺了他爸爸。
但是最後她lizzie borden被法官判无罪释放,再次引起舆论哗然。所以才有了這首歌,但現在有哪一個媽媽會叫自己的女兒唱這首歌啊?
3. There is a crooked man
這首歌謠源自英國王室(Stuart)時期英格蘭國王查理一世
彎腰曲背的男人是指蘇格蘭將軍亞歷山大‧萊斯利(General Sir Alexander Leslie)。
這位將軍代表蘇格蘭,與英格蘭簽訂宗教及政治上的和平協約,「。. 但是其實crooked可以解釋為神經病患看這個世界也是扭曲的,在黑暗時期很多人因此而發瘋!這首歌也因為這樣而被納入在Conjuring 2電影裡面
2. Three blind mice 三隻瞎老鼠
Three blind mice, three blind mice. 三隻盲鼠,三隻盲鼠
See how they run, see how they run. 看牠們竄,看牠們竄
They all ran after the farmer's wife, 牠們全都追農夫老婆跑
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife 她用切肉刀斬掉牠們尾巴
Did you ever see such a sight in your life 你這輩子是否看過這奇觀
As three blind mice? 三隻盲鼠的奇觀
16世紀正是歐洲宗教革命時期,雖然亨利八世推行宗教改革、提倡基督新教,但他女兒瑪莉皇后卻是個虔誠的天主教徒(舊教)。她非常排斥新教,殺了很多基督教徒,因為這樣她也稱之為血腥瑪莉(Blood Mary)。
那三隻老鼠「three mice」是指三名堅守新教信條的貴族,他們因為信奉新教,因此被冠上「密謀抗后」的罪名處刑。
但是和童謠唱的不一樣,瑪莉皇后沒有將他們分屍,而是將他們活活燒死
1. 杜樹記裡面的 My mother has killed me我的媽媽殺了我
My mother has killed me, 我的媽媽殺了我,
My father is eating me, 我的爸爸在吃我
My brothers and sisters sit under the table, 我的兄弟姊妹坐在餐桌底
Picking up my bones, And they bury them, 撿起我的骨頭,埋了它們,
under the cold marble stones。埋到冰冷的石碑下
這個童謠是源自格林童話The Juniper Tree 杜樹記,那種血腥黑暗的原版故事為:故事描述一名小男孩,被狠心的繼母殺害,並將屍體煮成肉湯 ,當作爸爸的晚餐;小男孩的妹妹傷心欲絕,於是將爸爸吃剩的哥哥的骨頭,拿到杜松樹 下埋葬,沒想到小男孩化身為小鳥,並藉由美妙的歌聲取得三樣東西,回家殺掉繼母。
西方國家和東方國家對於死亡的態度從童謠就可以看得出來,東方國家比較避忌談論這個話題而西方國家從小就直接和兒童灌輸死亡的觀念,但無論如何,教導兒女如何做人處事,黑白分明是比考試考滿分更重要。
