[出走地平線:Quasimodo]
Flattening The Curve: Quasimodo
我只拍過一齣劇情片《海灘的一天》。
他們便頒發金馬獎最佳攝影給我。
怎可能呢?
我一竅不通。他們怎會不知道?
但怎樣學習得比較好?
我曾經試過報讀法國電影學校,但對方沒有取錄我。
多得法國朋友的穿針引線,我被請去幫一個女學生導演的處女作《黑與白》掌鏡。
我不懂法語,但女導演Claire Devers似乎不在意。
她在片場經常全速用法語指揮大局,我大部份時間都不明白她說甚麼,而且她常把 “Quasimodo,Quasimodo”掛在咀邊。
我以為自己一直在拍一齣同志黑白片,不是重拍《鐘樓駝俠》。那Quasimodo是怎麼一回事?電影裡沒有駝子,在劇本也找不到Quasimodo這個字。(Quasimodo,加西莫多原是 《鐘樓駝俠》主角的名字)
我當時的法國女友Gabrielle也一頭霧水,所以有天她來片場看個究竟。
Gabrielle觀察導演不出十分鐘,竟然捧腹大笑,把我拉到一旁。「Quasimodo不是一個角色」她解釋「這齣戲也不是《歌聲魅影》實驗版,更不是《鐘樓駝俠》。」
「那甚麼是Quasimodo?」我問。
Gabrielle向我派定心丸。「你的導演接受過古典教育,時不時想賣弄一下。『Quasimodo』 是拉丁文,導演跟她的同學從小學便學會了。她說『Quasimodo』,其實就像我們想說,你知的……差不多啦。這個字就像我們想帶出……自己沒法子用詞語表達實際想說甚麼的意思。」
I had shot only one feature film “That day on the Beach”.
They gave it Golden Horse Best Cinematography award.
How could that be?
I knew nothing. How come they didn’t notice?
But how best to get to know something?
I tried to get into French film school. They wouldn’t have me.
But French friends pulled a few strings and I was asked to photograph a woman student director’s first film "Noir et Blanc".
I didn’t speak French, but director Claire Devers didn’t seem to notice.
She kept talking full speed ahead giving directions I mostly couldn't follow, and “ Quasimodo , Quasimodo” was her signature phrase.
I thought we were making a black and white gay film, not a remake of The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. So what’s all this Quasimodo stuff ? There are no hunchbacks in the cast and I can’t find “ Quasimodo ” in the script . (Quasimodo was the main protagonist of the The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. )
French girlfriend Gabrielle couldn’t work it out either. So she came by to sort it out.
After ten minutes on set listening and watching my director, she burst out laughing, then took me aside. Quasimodo is not a character ” she explained “ this is not an experimental version of Phantom of the Opera and the set is definitely no Notre-Dame. ”
“ So what’s Quasimodo ? ” I asked.
Gabrielle re-assures me: “ Your director has had a Classic education, and she likes to show it off. ‘ Quasimodo ’ is Latin, which her class of students studied since primary school. She says “Quasimodo” when most of us would say something like, you know … actually means MORE OR LES. It’s when we say something like…. like when we can’t quite find the words to express what we really want to say. “

[翻轉視界 8]逃離禁錮之地:離開北韓我學會自由與憐憫
“If you don't know the words, that means you don't understand the concept, and therefore, you don't even realize that concept is even a possibility.” —— human rights activist Yeonmi Park。
「如果你不知道某些詞彙,那就意味著你並不了解某些概念,因此你也不會意識到,那些概念可以是一種可能。」——人權鬥士朴延美
對出逃前的她而言,自由與溫飽是很奢侈的理念,更無法了解「愛」的全貌。當我們無法得知世界發生了什麼,無法想像那超越自身認知的世界,我們便無法真正地同理他人。今天我想邀請大家,以不同的角度,重新感受自由、溫飽與愛的可貴。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I was born in 1993 in the northern part of North Korea, in a town called Hyesan, which is on the border with China. I had loving parents and one older sister. Before I was even 10 years old, my father was sent to a labor camp for engaging in illegal trading. Now, by "illegal trading" -- he was selling clogs, sugar, rice and later copper to feed us. In 2007, my sister and I decided to escape. She was 16 years old, and I was 13 years old.
1. on the border with 鄰近邊界
2. labor camp 勞改營
3. illegal trading 非法的交易
1993年我出生在北韓的北部,一個名叫惠山的小鎮,鄰近中國邊界。我有愛我的父母與一位姐姐。在我10歲大的時候,父親就被送去勞改營,因為他非法買賣一些東西。所謂的非法買賣,其實他是賣一些木鞋、糖、米,之後還賣了銅,只為了餵飽我們。2007年,姐姐和我決定逃跑。她當時16歲,而我13歲。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I need you to understand what the word "escape" means in the context of North Korea. We were all starving, and hunger means death in North Korea. So it was the only option for us. I didn't even understand the concept of escape, but I could see the lights from China at night, and I wondered if I go where the light is, I might be able to find a bowl of rice. It's not like we had a grand plan or maps. We did not know anything about what was going to happen. Imagine your apartment building caught fire. I mean, what would you do? Would you stay there to be burned, or would you jump off out of the window and see what happens? That's what we did. We jumped out of the house instead of the fire.
4. in the context of 在⋯⋯的情境中
5. concept 概念;觀念;思想
6. a grand plan 一個遠大的計畫
7. catch fire 著火
你們要知道,「逃跑」這兩字在北韓意味著什麼。我們天天挨餓,而飢餓在北韓意味著死亡。所以逃跑是我們唯一的選擇。我當時還不了解逃跑是什麼意思,但晚上我能看見中國那邊的燈光,我想著如果我能到有光的地方,也許就能找到一碗飯。我們沒有什麼遠大的計畫或地圖。我們完全不知道,接下來會發生什麼事。想像一下,你的公寓失火了,你會怎麼辦?你會坐以待斃,還是跳窗然後再看著辦?我們就是那樣。我們從大樓上跳了下來, 而不是等火燒上來。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
North Korea is unimaginable. It's very hard for me when people ask me what it feels like to live there. To be honest, I tell you: you can't even imagine it. The words in any language can't describe, because it's a totally different planet, as you cannot imagine your life on Mars right now. For example, the word "love" has only one meaning: love for the Dear Leader. There's no concept of romantic love in North Korea. And if you don't know the words, that means you don't understand the concept, and therefore, you don't even realize that concept is even a possibility.
8. unimaginable 無法想像
9. no concept of... 沒有⋯的概念
10. romantic love 浪漫愛
北韓是難以想像的。對我來說,要回答住在北韓是什麼感覺,非常困難。老實說,我可以告訴各位——你無從想像。沒有任何語言可以描述,因為那是個截然不同的星球,就像你現在無法想像自己在火星上的生活一樣。比如說,「愛」只有一個意思:愛偉大的領袖。在北韓沒有那種浪漫之愛的概念。如果你不知道某些詞彙,那就意味著你並不了解某些概念,因此你也不會意識到,那些概念可以是一種可能。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Let me give you another example. Growing up in North Korea, we truly believed that our Dear Leader is an almighty god who can even read my thoughts. I was even afraid to think in North Korea. We are told that he's starving for us, and he's working tirelessly for us, and my heart just broke for him. When I escaped to South Korea, people told me that he was actually a dictator, he had cars, many, many resorts, and he had an ultraluxurious life. And then I remember looking at a picture of him, realizing for the first time that he is the largest guy in the picture. And it hit me. Finally, I realized he wasn't starving. But I was never able to see that before, until someone told me that he was fat.
11. an almighty god 一個全能的神
12. tirelessly 不屈不撓地;堅忍地
13. a dictator 獨裁者
14. it hit me 突然想到、意識到 
15. resort 度假地(此處係指北韓獨裁者有很多度假別墅)
16. ultraluxurious 極其奢華的
17. have a…life 過著⋯⋯的生活
讓我再舉一個例子。在北韓長大,我們真心相信我們偉大的領袖是全能的神,他甚至能看穿我在想什麼。我在北韓甚至不敢思考。我們聽說他為我們挨餓、不眠不休地為我們工作,而我為此感到心痛。我逃到南韓後,有人跟我說他其實是獨裁者,他有很多車、很多很多渡假別墅,他的生活極為奢華。我記得自己看著一張有他的照片,第一次意識到他是照片裡體型最大的那個。這件事讓我大受打擊。那時我才終於了解,他沒有挨餓。但我以前總無法看清這些,直到有人跟我說他很胖,我才恍然大悟。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Really, someone had to teach me that he was fat. If you have never practiced critical thinking, then you simply see what you're told to see. The biggest question also people ask me is: "Why is there no revolution inside North Korea? Are we dumb? Why is there no revolution for 70 years of this oppression?" And I say: If you don't know you're a slave, if you don't know you're isolated or oppressed, how do you fight to be free? I mean, if you know you're isolated, that means you are not isolated. Not knowing is the true definition of isolation, and that's why I never knew I was isolated when I was in North Korea. I literally thought I was in the center of the universe.
18. critical thinking 批判性思考
19. revolution 革命
20. dumb 愚蠢的*
21. oppression 壓迫;壓制;欺壓
22. isolated and oppressed 與世隔絕的與被壓迫的
真的,要有人教我,他這樣叫做胖。如果你沒學過批判性思考,你看到的就只會是別人跟你說的。其他人對我提出的大哉問還有:「為何北韓沒有革命?我們傻嗎?為何歷經70年的壓迫,卻沒人發動革命?」我回答:「如果你不知道自己是奴隸,不知道自己被與世隔絕、壓迫,你要如何為自由而戰?我的意思是,如果你知道自己被與世隔絕,那就表示你並非真的與世隔絕。與世隔絕的真正定義是無知,所以我從不知道,在北韓的我與世隔絕。我真的以為我們是宇宙的中心。
*dumb: https://bit.ly/3fG5XOk
★★★★★★★★★★★★
So here is my idea worth spreading: a lot of people think humans inherently know what is right and wrong, the difference between justice and injustice, what we deserve and we don't deserve. I tell them: BS. Everything, everything must be taught, including compassion. If I see someone dying on the street right now, I will do anything to save that person. But when I was in North Korea, I saw people dying and dead on the streets. I felt nothing. Not because I'm a psychopath, but because I never learned the concept of compassion. Only, I felt compassion, empathy and sympathy in my heart after I learned the word "compassion" and the concept, and I feel them now.
23. inherently 與生俱來地
24. justice and injustice 正義與不義
25. psychopath 精神病患者
26. compassion, empathy and sympathy 憐憫、同理與同情*
我覺得值得分享的想法是:很多人以為,人類生來就能分辨是非對錯,懂得正義與邪惡的差別,我們值得被怎樣對待。我跟他們說:放屁。所有的事,所有的事都得經過教導,包含憐憫。如果我現在看見有人在路邊奄奄一息,我會不顧一切來救他。但我在北韓的時候,會眼睜睜看著有人橫死街頭,卻沒有任何感覺。並非因為我是心理病態,而是我從未學過憐憫的概念。只有在我的內心感受到憐憫、同理與同情,我才學會「憐憫」一詞與其概念,而如今我已能感受到這些。
*compassion: a strong feeling of sympathy and sadness for the suffering or bad luck of others and a wish to help them
empathy: the ability to share someone else's feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in that person's situation
sympathy: (an expression of) understanding and care for someone else's suffering
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Now I live in the United States as a free person.
現在我以自由人的身分住在美國。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
And recently, the leader of the free country, our President Trump, met with my former god. And he decided human rights is not important enough to include in his agendas, and he did not talk about it. And it scares me. We live in a world right now where a dictator can be praised for executing his uncle, for killing his half brother, killing thousands of North Koreans. And that was worthy of praise. And also it made me think: perhaps we all need to be taught something new about freedom now. Freedom is fragile. I don't want to alarm you, but it is. It only took three generations to make North Korea into George Orwell's "1984." It took only three generations. If we don't fight for human rights for the people who are oppressed right now who don't have a voice, as free people here, who will fight for us when we are not free? Machines? Animals? I don't know.
27. agenda 議程
28. be praised for 因⋯⋯獲得讚揚
29. execute (v.) 處決
30. worthy of sth 適合某物或具有某物的特徵
31. fragile 脆弱
最近,自由國度的領袖,我們的川普總統,和我以前的神會面。他認定,人權沒那麼重要,不需排進議程中,所以對此他隻字不提。這嚇壞我了。我們竟身在一個獨裁者處決伯父還能獲得讚揚的世界裡,他殺害同父異母的哥哥、殺害成千上萬的北韓人民,竟還能得到讚揚。這不禁使我開始思考,也許我們現在都要學習自由的新涵義。自由很脆弱。我不想嚇你,但事實如此。短短三個世代,就讓北韓淪為喬治.歐威爾筆下的《1984》。只花了三個世代。如果我們不為人權而戰,不為受壓迫、不為無法發聲的人而戰,當身為自由人的我們不自由時,誰還願意為我們而戰?機器嗎?動物嗎?我不知道。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I think it's wonderful that we care about climate change, animal rights, gender equality, all of these things. The fact that we care about animals' rights, that means that's how beautiful our heart is, that we care about someone who cannot speak for themselves. And North Koreans right now cannot speak for themselves. They don't have internet in the 21st century. We don't have electricity, and it is the darkest place on earth right now. Now I want to say something to my fellow North Koreans who are living in that darkness. They might not believe this, but I want to tell them that an alternative life is possible. Be free.
32. speak for oneself 為某人發聲
33. alternative life 另一種生活
我覺得我們能關心氣候變遷、動物權益、性別平等諸如此類之事,真的很美好。因為,我們關心動物權益,就代表了我們的心地有多善良,也代表我們關心無法為自己發聲的對象。北韓人民現在無法為自己發聲。身處21世紀的他們,沒有網路可用。我們沒有電,那裡是當今地球上最暗的地方。現在我想告訴那些生活在北韓黑暗中的同胞。也許他們不會相信我,但我想告訴他們,生命仍有其他可能——意即自由的生活。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
From my experience, literally anything is possible. I was bought, I was sold as a slave. But now I'm here, and that is why I believe in miracles. The one thing that I learned from history is that nothing is forever in this world. And that is why we have every reason to be hopeful. Thank you.
34. slave 奴隸
35. miracle 奇蹟
就我的經驗,真的什麼事都有可能發生。我被人買走,賣給別人當奴隸。但我現在在這裡,這也就是為什麼我相信奇蹟。我從歷史上學到的一件事,就是世上沒有什麼是永恆的。而這也是我們無論如何都能懷有希望的原因。謝謝大家。

誰有看 This Is Us 這部影集?
若你從第一集邊看邊哭到最後一集,
不意外,因為我幾乎就是這樣看完的,哈哈!
因為裡面講的東西影響我太大了,
最近想要開始重頭再看一次,
順便分享一些裡面很棒的台詞,
我選擇從第一季第一集開始,所以,
若怕我破梗的同學,那乾脆就跟我一起從第一集開始看吧!
這句話是幫 Rebecca 和 Jack 接生的醫生 Dr. K 說的:
I like to think that one day you'll be an old man like me talkin' a young man's ear off explainin' to him how you took the sourest lemon that life has to offer and turned it into something resembling lemonade. If you can do that, then maybe you will still be taking three babies home from this hospital, just maybe not the way you planned.
-Dr. K
talk (one's) ear(s) off - to talk to someone endlessly; to bore someone with too much talk.
這個片語很好玩喔,拼湊字面上的意思的話,有種一個人對某人講話,講到對方耳朵掉下來 (off) 的感覺,可以想像嗎?
所以可以延伸記它的意思就是某人一直喋喋不休的講啊講的、說得沒完沒了那種感覺。
來!我們來簡單造個句子吧!
注意喔,造句的時候不用想太難,把基本人物放進去、放對就好了,而且重點是最好是找跟自己生活相關聯的。
例如:
Hey, you have to stop! You've talked my ear off!
(欸你不要再講了啦,你講到我有煩了 / 我都在放空了。)

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;

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。
