There's not just one road to the destination, but many roads. You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.
通往目的地的路不止一條,有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步,然後再邁出下一步,幾年下來,將會成為巨大成就。

I didn’t meet my father until I was 6 years old. My parents had a comfortable, middle-class life in Shanghai, or as close as you could get under communism. But they always wanted to live overseas, and just before I was born, my dad came to Sydney to set things up. I don’t know why, but in the end, my mother and I didn’t join him until I was 6.
•a middle-class life 中產階級生活
•set things up 打點一切
•live overseas 往海外生活
•in the end 最後 (表達在經過一段時間或一連串事件之後的結果)
直到六歲前我都未曾見過父親。我的雙親在上海過著舒適的中產階級生活,或著說,在共產階級下所能得到的最接近的生活。他們一直響往海外生活,就在我出生前,我父親來到雪梨打點一切。但不知何故,直到六歲那年我與母親才終於與父親團聚。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Unfortunately, half a year after we arrived, he left us. That was a huge shock. Our transition had already been quite difficult, as we both didn't speak English. Also, as Shanghai was such a big bustling city, Sydney felt a bit like the countryside, especially on the weekends, as no shops were open back then!
•shock 令人震驚的事件(或經歷);驚愕,震驚 (come as a great shock 讓人倍感震驚)
•transition 轉變;過渡
•a bustling city 繁華都會
不幸的是,就在我跟母親抵達半年後,父親離開了我們。這是個巨大的打擊,因爲我們不會說英文,在適應過渡期本就已過得相當艱辛。此外,不同於上海的繁華都會,雪梨更像鄉下,尤其在週末,那時連商店都不開門。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
We were very much reliant on my dad, not only financially, but also as a conduit into the wider community. So to have that broken was quite distressing. I remember Mum crying a lot. As we had become socially isolated, we didn’t find out anything about Centrelink, so we survived on her savings for a while, and then got some help from her family back in China.
•be reliant on… 依賴...
•a conduit into 進入...的渠道
•distressing (adj.) 令人苦惱的,令人擔憂的
•become socially isolated 變得孤立於社會
•survive on her savings 僅靠的她積蓄過日子
我們相當依賴我父親,不僅是經濟,他也是我們進入更廣泛社區的渠道。因此,當局面被打破時令人相當痛苦,我還記得母親時常哭泣。由於我們孤立於社會,所以我們並不知道澳洲社會福利聯絡中心 (Centrelink)的任何資訊,僅靠母親的積蓄支撐了一段時間,然後從母親在中國的娘家得到一些幫助。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Eventually, Mum moved us down to Melbourne, where we were able to make some new networks and family friendships. But I was bullied a bit at school about things like my food and clothing! Whenever someone bullied me, I would defend myself, but because I didn’t have the language skills to explain to the teacher why, I got in trouble quite a bit. I ended up having to move school 3 times before I came to Balwyn Primary School, which was relatively multicultural.
•be able to 能夠
•make new networks 建立新的人脈,關係網
•be bullied 被霸凌
•language skills 語言能力
•get in trouble 惹上麻煩
•end up 最後處於;最後成爲;以…告終
•relatively 相對地
•multicultural 多元文化的
最後,母親帶著我搬遷到墨爾本,在那我們能夠建立起新的網絡與家庭情誼。然而。我在學校飽受霸凌,例如我的食物及衣物。每當有人霸凌我,我會自我防衛,但我的語言技巧不足以向老師解釋事發原因,因此常常陷入麻煩。後來我不得不再三轉學,直到就讀相對多元文化的博文小學(Balwyn Primary School)。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
After that, I did alright. Music featured very prominently in my life. I had started learning the violin from the age of 2.5 years old and even with all the troubles that were going on in my life, had somehow still kept up with it. As a result, I got a music scholarship to Trinity Grammar School. But even there I used to get into quite a lot of mischief, and would often skip school to go to the movies.
•do alight 過得不錯,做的不錯
•feature (v.) 以…為特色;給…以顯著的地位
•prominently 重要地;著名地;突出地,顯眼地
之後,我便過得不錯。音樂在我生活中佔有重要的一席之地,我從兩歲半開始學習小提琴,儘管生活中事事不如意,我依然堅持不輟。因此,我獲得三一文法學校( Trinity Grammar School)的音樂獎學金。但即使在那,我也常惡作劇、逃學看電影。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
By the end of year 11, I was told I would have to either repeat the year, or consider going to another school, which was quite humiliating for my mum. I decided to move school and surprisingly, I ended up doing quite well in year 12! As a result, I ended up getting into a double degree in Law and Music at Monash.
•repeat the year 留級 ; 重唸一年
•humiliating 令人感到恥辱的,丟臉的
11年級結束時,我被告知要麽被留級,要麼考慮轉學,這對我母親來說相當丟人。我決定轉學,而令人驚訝的是,我在12年級的時候表現優異,最後錄取蒙納士大學法律與音樂雙學位。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
When I started, my first thought was that I didn’t belong because I had done so badly in school up to year 11 and everyone else seemed so smart. But I put my head down, got through it, and ended up getting a job in the legal department of a major manufacturing company, which was a different approach to what most law students do.
•do not belong 不屬於這
•put my head down 埋頭苦幹
•the legal department of ...的法律部門
•a different approach 不同途徑
•approach (思考問題的)方式,方法,態度
當我開始進入大學,最初的想法是我不屬於這,因為我在11年級前都表現不佳,而這裡的人似乎都聰明絕頂。但我埋頭苦幹,咬牙撐過,最後在一家大型製造公司的法律部門找到工作,這與多數法律系學生的途徑不同。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I really enjoyed it. It was hard work, but I learned a lot of foundational business, legal and corporate communication skills. After that I worked in corporate governance in RMIT, then started to moonlight as a lecturer in the Law Faculty. Eventually, they asked me if I wanted to do a PhD and I blindly said yes! I next worked at Swinburne University, and then was head-hunted to lead the corporate legal team at the Commercial Passenger Vehicles Commission.
•foundational 基礎的
•communication skills 溝通技巧
•corporate governance
•moonlight (v.) (尤指瞞著僱主)從事第二職業,兼職
•headhunt (v.) 物色(人才); 挖角
•legal team 法律團隊
我非常喜歡這份工作,這是份辛苦的工作,但我學習了很多基礎商業、法律以及公司溝通技巧。之後我在皇家墨爾本理工大學( RMIT)從事公司治理工作,並開始兼職擔任法律系講師。後來他們問我是否想要讀博士,我便盲目地答應了。接下來,我在斯威本大學(Swinburne University)工作,再被挖角到商用小客車委員會領導法律團隊。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I had a good life, but after a while, I realised I wanted a different kind of job. I could see my seniors were making a lot of money but that their family life was not that good. And looking at my own upbringing, I wanted to be the kind of father who could be present in my own kids’ lives. So I decided on dentistry. It would not only allow me to use the hand skills that I had developed from playing the violin, but also the analytical and reasoning skills that I'd developed in law. Plus it would be flexible, and offer me a stable income and the chance to meet different people every day!
•upbringing 教養
•decide on sth 決定某事或東西
•analytical and reasoning skills 分析和推理能力
•offer a stable income 提供穩定收入
我的生活很不錯,但一段時間後,我意識到自己想要一份不同的工作。我知道前輩們賺了很多錢,但他們的家庭生活並不美滿。看著自己的成長經歷,我想要成為可以在孩子生活中出席的父親,所以我決定改行當牙醫。這項職業能讓我使用從拉小提琴中發展出的手部技巧,也能運用我在法律中發展出的分析與推理技能。此外,這個職業相當靈活,能為我提供穩定收入,並有機會每天與不同的人見面。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
My now fiancée, who was my girlfriend at the time, was also applying for further study, and coincidentally we both got into university in South Australia, so we moved to Adelaide together a few years ago.
•fiancée 未婚妻
•at the time 當時
•apply for 申請
•further study 繼續教育,進修;進一步研究;深造
•coincidentally 碰巧地;巧合地
我的未婚妻,當時的女友,也申請繼續深造,巧的是我們都考上南澳大學(University of South Australia),所以幾年前一起搬到阿得雷德( Adelaide)。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
I was lucky to get a university job at Flinders University. Initially, I started out as a casual lecturer in the law school, but I’ve since transitioned into teaching health law and research, and I’m currently writing a few books on the intersection between law and medicine. And also, obviously, trying to finish my dentistry degree!
•start out as… 起初擔任...
•transition into… 轉變到...
我很幸運的在福林德斯大學(Flinders University)找到工作,起初我在法學院擔任臨時講師,但我後來轉換到醫事法教學及研究。目前我正撰寫幾本關於法律與醫學相接的書籍,並努力完成我的牙醫學位。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Mum eventually retrained as a Chinese high school teacher, and she’s still teaching to this day. Like most first generation migrants, she struggled quite a lot, and invested heavily in my success. After we’re married, my fiancée and I are planning to have children, and I’m sure they will have it much easier than I did.
•retrain 重新培養;再培訓;再訓練
•to this day 至今
•first generation migrants 第一代移民
•struggle a lot 掙扎奮鬥許久
•have it much easier 過的比較輕鬆
我的母親最終重新接受培訓,成為一名中文高中老師並執教至今。如同大多數第一代移民,她掙扎奮鬥許久,並為我的成功投資甚多。我與未婚妻打算婚後生孩子,我確信孩子會過的比我輕鬆得多。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Still, a lot of the failures that I’ve had in my life have really informed a lot of my successes. Looking back, I wouldn't really want to change that to have a smoother life.
•inform [正式] 影響某人的態度或意見
https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/inform
•have a smoother life 有一個更順遂的人生
我的生活中的種種失敗確實為我的成功提供借鑑。回首過去,我不會想要改變那些坎坷經歷去擁有一個更順遂的人生。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Over the years, I've learned that perseverance is very important. I hope that through telling my story, I can be an example to others who might be in a similar position as I was: to show that there's not just one road to the destination, but many roads. You just need to take the little step that’s right in front of you, and then the next one, and a few years down the track, they will seem like massive achievements.
•over the years 多年來
•perseverance 不屈不撓,堅持不懈
•be an example 成為榜樣
•be in a similar position 處於相似的處境
•down the road/line/track 將來(的路)
多年來,我學到堅持不懈是至關重要的。我希望透過講述自己的故事,能成為其他可能與我有相似處境的人的榜樣:向他們展示通往目的地的路不止一條,有很多路可走。你只需要邁出眼前這一小步,然後再邁出下一步,幾年下來,將會成為巨大成就。

《#籠罩下的巨大哀愁 》A Dark Cloud of Sorrow Looms Over
A place where millions of people live alone together— the city.
During the busy and constant labor all day and night, we have fewer opportunities to talk to ourselves. The sudden epidemic has opened a door to calm our hearts and let us rethink our relationship with the world.
In the 1970s, urbanism rises in Taiwan, bidding farewell to the landscape of an agricultural society. In addition to skyscrapers, the meaning of the city also produces a certain kind of violent acceleration on our bodies. Before we could face all kinds of unpleasant questions, we quickly escape with the acceleration.
The city seems to be bustling and lively, but in fact it’s a series of stranger encounters unexpectedly. Trying to accompany each other is reduced to their
own mumbling with obscure social distance. They trying to escape from restlessness and distress for a short time; rising the conflict between governance practice and the sense of freedom. The closed, lonely cycle of labor faintly affects the changes of modern cities, and so on.
The people who live here are trying to learn how to coexist with it.
In A Dark Cloud of Sorrow Looms Over, we invite eight artists. The age difference between them is about 20 years old. We are trying to figure out in this big era,how people among different age groups to re-understand and break through the urban conditions of survival and change.
幾百萬人一起孤獨生活的地方-------都市。
沒日沒夜的繁忙,不斷勞動的過程中我們少了與自己對話的機會,突如其來的疫情,像開啟了一扇靜心的大門,反思我們與世界之間的關係。
1970年代台灣興起都市主義,揮別過往的農業景觀,其意義除了建築摩天高樓外,不外乎產生某種劇烈加速度於我們的身體,各種不適的提問還未面對,就隨著加速度快步的逃逸。
城市貌似繁華熱鬧卻只是意外地與一切陌異、他者的肉身遭逢;試圖相伴卻淪為各自的喃喃自語、不成文的特殊社交距離;嘗試短暫逃離不安及困頓的慾望;興起的治理實踐與自由意識的衝突;在封閉與寂寥的循環勞動,隱隱牽動著現代化城市的變遷等......
生存於此的人們,正試圖學習如何與它共存。
「籠罩下的巨大哀愁」一展邀請八位藝術家,之間年紀落差20來歲,我們試圖整出一個大時代下不同年齡層中,面對生存與變動的都市景況是如何重新理解及突破。

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
PM12:00を過ぎたら街を出よう
頼りない声で あなたが言う
どこに行くの? どこかへ行こう
どこがいいの? どこかな…
レンズの壊れた双眼鏡
曇って見えない明日と今日
何か見えた? 何も見えない
何を見てた? 何かな…
いま ざわめく街を背に森を走るよ
どんなに不安でも 後ろは振り返らない
もし「帰りたいよ」なんて弱音吐いたら
眠りの森に私を置き去りにしてもいい
偽物の地図に失くした自信
また狂い始めた方位磁針
町が見えた? もうすぐそこに
森を抜けた? まだかな
いま 喧噪に追われるように森を走るよ
どんなに痛くても この手はもう離さない
もし「帰りたいよ」なんて弱気吐くなら
眠りの森に私を置き去りにしてほしい
置き去りに…
置き去りに
いま 灯りに怯えるように森を走るよ
擦り切れた両足でイバラの道駆けてく
もし「帰りたいな」そんな弱気吐くなら
眠りの森であなたを永遠に眠らせる
終わらせる… 忘れてもいい…
中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
過了午夜十二點之後,就離開這座城市吧
用不怎麼有自信的聲音,你這麼說
要去哪裡呢?去某個地方吧
去哪裡好呢?去哪裡呢……
透鏡壞掉了的望遠鏡
已經模糊的看不清楚明天與今日
你看見什麼了嗎?什麼都看不見
你在看什麼?是什麼呢……
現在將蠢蠢欲動的城市拋在背後,在森林間奔走
無論有多少不安,也絕對不會回首
若是我忍不住喊出「想要回去」的喪氣話
就把我留在這座沈睡的森林裡也沒有關係
因為假的地圖而開始失去自信
指南針也開始失去了作用
「看見城市了嗎?」就在不遠的地方
現在已經穿越了森林,怎麼還沒看到呢?
如今像是要被這份喧囂吞噬一樣的在森林裡奔走
無論疼痛有多難熬,這雙手絕對不會放開你
要是我忍不住脫口「好想要回去」的喪氣話
請將我留在這座沈睡的森林
棄我而去、留下我走吧
把我留在這裡——
現在像是畏懼著光芒一樣的奔走於森林裡
用這傷痕累累的雙腳跑在充滿荊棘的路途
若是要說出「好想回去」這種喪氣話
那就讓你永遠沈睡在這座熟睡的森林裡
結束這一切,就這樣淡忘吧
英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
“When the clock passes 12 PM, let’s leave this city,”
You say with a quiver in your voice.
Where shall we go? Let’s just go somewhere.
What sounds good? I wonder…
These binoculars, with their lenses shattered,
Can’t see beyond the clouds covering the future and present.
What did you see? I can’t see a thing.
What were you looking at? I wonder…
We’ll run through this forest with the bustling city at our backs,
But no matter how uneasy we feel, we won’t look back.
If at some point I grow weak and say, “I want to go home”,
You can go ahead and leave me behind in this forest of sleep.
We lost our faith in the false map we were following,
And our compass’ needle went haywire once again.
We can see the city… it’s just over yonder.
We’ve made it outside the forest. Are we almost there…?
We’ll run through this forest as if chased by an illusion,
And no matter how great the pain, we won’t let go of each others’ hands.
If at some point I grow weak and say, “I want to go home”,
Please leave me behind in this forest of sleep.
We’ll run through this forest as if we fear the light,
Kicking through thorns on the roadside with our worn down feet.
If at some point you grow weak and say, “I want to go home”,
I’ll put you to eternal rest in this forest of sleep.
I’ll put an end to it all, so let it all slip away.

In part 2 of our adventure vlog backpacking the length of Vietnam, me and Seb travelled Ha Long Bay, taking in the beautiful natural landscapes that make Vietnam a must travel destination.
Starting with a boat tour around Ha Long Bay we travelled through caves, went canoeing and even got to ice skate. In this travel vlog of Vietnam we really explored the local side seeing the bustling markets and motorbiking through local Vietnam villages to the beautiful travel destination of Vietnam known as Ninh Binh.
This is part 2 of our motorbiking Vietnam adventure, check out part 1 where we began this crazy backpacking journey across Vietnam:
