運動精神是重要的價值,在奪牌之外,更值得追尋!
我相當不認同那種「拿了名次才是台灣之光」的文化。在那種文化下,不擇手段贏得比賽才是主流。
我在國外有次在男女混合沙灘排球賽中,為了拿到冠軍,搶著幫女生接球,事後那兩位外國女生很不高興,認為這不合乎運動家精神(Sportsmanship) (註)。
我們有些自以為很好、很合理的事情,其實在國外人眼中不見得是什麼光彩的事情。
運動的本身,或許需要許多的算計,但運動家精神,是不需要那麼多的算計的,而是尊敬對手、自我覺知在作用。運動和運動家,一字之差,恐怕真能理解的人不多吧?
是的,我贏得球賽,我證明我是那次賽事中最強的,但那又如何?我只證明我擅長那項運動,但若不懂運動家精神,不僅對手,連隊友都不欣賞。
我沒說外國人比較好,但運動的重點是交流學習,最好以平常心看待。以上所講的國外親身經歷,只是舉個例子說明自己當初的無知。
我這篇的主旨,只是在講過度重視獎勵,往往讓我們忽略了運動家精神;並不是說得了名次、拿了獎金的人,就沒有運動家精神。
(註)Sportsmanship,我翻譯為運動家精神,維基百科給這個名詞的定義如下:Sportsmanship is an aspiration or ethos that a sport or activity will be enjoyed for its own sake, with proper consideration for fairness, ethics, respect, and a sense of fellowship with one's competitors. (中文版的維基百科的翻譯不佳,閱讀時請注意。)

~~Prof. Earl Jackson
英文導讀中譯:
《傷歌行》是鍾文音島嶼三部曲之三,以非凡的論點有了輝煌的成就。但是也許不稱為“三部曲”,而是以「三聯作」來看待更好,特別對鍾文音的英語界新讀者 - 因為每一部雖是相關的,但每一部也都是獨立的。
Decayed Land is the third novel in Chung Wenyin’s Island Trilogy, and an extraordinary conclusion to a magnificent achievement. But rather than calling the work a “trilogy” perhaps it is better to think of it as a triptych – especially for the sake of English readers new to Chung’s work. Although they are related, each novel can stand on its own.

《WhatsApp and its USD0.99》
by Roy Kwong Translated by Selina Kinyee Chau
The WhatsApp software developer has informed its users to the app to be payable, triggering a fight between iPhone users and android users because iPhone users only pay USD0.99 once to enjoy life-long service but android users need to pay the same price every year.
Android users complain, “Why iPhone users only need to pay once but we need to pay every year?” iPhone users retort, “You didn’t say anything when we were being charged at the beginning. And now you are complaining.” So the two parties are stuck at whether the charge is unfair to Android users.
After the Two Ticks and Last seen on (Please refer to the previous article of the same writer), the WhatsApp started a fight again because of this USD0.99 issue. From between lovers to friends, now it has even extended to the whole user group of the two giant software developers. It should be named the Most Evil App of the Century.
The inconsistency of charging is of course WhatsApp’s fault. However, for those who can afford a smart phone that cost thousands dollars will be able to afford USD0.99 which is only the price of a can of coke, won’t they?
Some student users may complain, “I don’t have a credit card, I’m not able to pay at the App Store, WhatsApp are not considerate of us.” It is reasonable for users under 18 to complain if they don’t have a credit card. But if the charge is a disaster of WhatsApp, isn’t it just time for people to show their kindness? Friends who have a credit card can rescue others at this time, “I have a credit card. Let me pay it for you.”
Friends without a credit card will appreciate what you have done for them, although it is WhatsApp’s fault of the forbiddance of sending messages before the expiry date, reactivating the function for your friends by buying them a can of coke is meaningful, isn’t it? The USD0.99 of WhatsApp has created a chance to show your care to your friends, how nice as a social networking app!
Recall those days when we were still texting, it was actually not financial friendly at all. For the sake of keeping in touch with our friends, we were compelled to use the same service provider as theirs even its service was the worst in the world and we had to survived three times every day from losing connection just because to keep the text messages free of charge.
Still, the Two Ticks and Last seen on functions have created a lot of problem. But the invention of WhatsApp allows us to send messages for free, save us from paying for every text messages. It deserves to be granted a credit. And the simplified process by just clicking a few buttons to send pictures, videos and audios when we could only do so via email in the past. What’s more, WhatsApp had actually stated in the Terms and Conditions that charge may be applied after the first year.
So there have been so many complaints about WhatsApp being unfairness and has been given the name “a broken app” when it announced to charge? No one ever said something like that before the charging. After the charge applied, negative comments has swept over the Internet. Some suggested to use another communication app, Line, which is free of charge, and WhatsApp has become the public enemy. Despite the inconsistent charge, what’s wrong for WhatsApp to charge for using the app?
Have we become too comfortable enjoying free lunch without notice?
I still remember how hard I tried to save to buy a CD home and listened to it again and again when I was a kid. I had never been tired of it because it wasn’t easy. When there was a movie I liked, I saved hard to go to the cinema for it. If I didn’t have enough money, I bought the VCD when it was released. But VCDs were only available for movies not for TV shows. I had to start sitting in front of the TV before the show I liked started so that I wouldn’t miss any parts. And recorders became my good friend too. I really cherished the only-180-minute memory of every tape.
After I grew up, thanks to the advanced technology becomes able to store everything, the TV, computer, CD player, VCD player, game station and recorders, into ONE smart phone, only without the air conditioner. Want to listen to a song? Go to Youtube; want a movie? PPS, internet TV! A TV show? There are also apps you can watch live TV or play back. Want some games? From Angry Bird to Candy Crush, there are thousands of choices waiting for you.
However, The advance of technology has devalue our attitude towards making efforts. Because everything has become easy to get nowadays.
Have you noticed the songs nowadays are not as good as those in the past? That could be the problem of quality itself but more likely, it is because we have too many options. Now we just need to click a few buttons, thousands of search results will come out and we can listen to them right after. We are spoiled to be greedy unconditionally. We didn’t realize how long we hadn’t paid for a CD until the news of HMV’s bankruptcy spread out.
In the past we had to sit still and paid 100% attention to the movie to enjoy it, now we can just watch it from a few-inch-wide screen on a train. But the price is we keep being interrupted by the surrounding noise and people. When the character is saying something moving, we would just realize we’ve missed the stop and have to rush to get off. It may be free to watch a movie like this but I prefer paying to buy a ticket to go to the cinema.
We don’t need to worry about missing the best part of a TV show because our friends always share them on Facebook. We don’t need to watch every scene but you know what is going on in every story. But why is there still something missing? It turns out that we only keep the concentrated part of everything while the every well panned detail has been wasted. We don’t spend time building a connection with the characters in the story. However, if we don’t even spend time watching the the TV show by ourself, how can we feel the same way as the characters do, like we did in the past?
You don’t feel the pain losing something if you have never made any effort. It is just like we keep those old comics that we spent all our pocket money on even they are old and worn , but we are able to uninstall an app on our phone without a thought. Well, just take a couple seconds to download and we will own it again anytime.
While we are expecting making no effort, we are also destroying creativity. Creators lack of motivation. Creativity is worth nothing nowadays. People will search for replacement when one creativity starts to charge. This is not just about the USD0.99 of WhatsApp, it’s about our value on Give and Take.
Technology has changed our life, but we should never let it change our values.
We avoid Giving. But giving is vital for us to learn to cherish. Sometimes we get back more by giving than not giving, not just about money but also about love. Think about it, if we get what we want easily without paying any effort, comparing with that you devote yourself to a relationship while the other devotes to the relationship as much as you. Then none of you will give up on the relationship easily.
If you think WhatsApp is good, it deserves the USD0.99. Although I am still annoyed by the evil functions such as the Two Ticks and Last Seen on. WeChat is free but you have to pay your liberty of speech for it. One user once tried to send the name of Southern Weekly in Chinese, the system reminded him that “The message has involved sensitive words, please try again after making modification.” What’s wrong with the name of Southern Weekly? The even more ridiculous thing is, while I am writing this article, I get the news that WeChat now has tightened up the regulation that users have to use their real name, phone number when posting on the public forum and are even required to upload the photo of them with their ID card, like you have committed some serious crime.
To avoid paying USD0.99, you need to escape to somewhere that and be monitored. One day if you really encounter some sensitive issue, you will realize not paying actually pays more than paying. I believe most of readers are willing to pay for this USD0.99. We hope WhatsApp will open up more channels for payments.
Don’t let the wheels of Time make us forget the value of giving.

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
迷いの森にあるほんとう 探しに行く月のひかり
羊歯を踏んで足を濡らして ひたりほとり夏の小道
よく笑って泣いて見つめあって おそるおそる恋に堕ちた
ふたり歩き出した違う方へ 呼び合う声だけもどかしく
find me in the wonderland
そろそろ手を汚して 自分の欲しいものを 追いかけてみる
みつあみをほどいて 同じ星を齧る ふたりになる
寂しがって夜になって まだ明るい夢のほとり
食べかけで残した心だって ここから始まるうたになる
世界は君のものさ、どこへ行こうか、貴方は笑う
踏み外してみようか、後ろめたさが私を誘う
find me in the wonderland
どうしたって 生まれ変わるほどの 強い意志が必要だわ
慎重ないのちだった 私だけじゃ道は見つからない
星を数え繋ぎ合わせ まだ知らない夏の星座
見つめあって泣いて朝になって ここから始まる物語
もう一人じゃないのよ、夢のようでしょ、私は歌う
寂しさはひるがえり旗の元へと二人は集う
何も思い通りにならないことが始まったから
踏み外してみようか、目隠し鬼の手の鳴る方へ
in your wonderland
あなたが迷う場所に あかりを灯すために
花束一つ抱いて りりしく笑いましょう
もう一人じゃないのよ、とても怖いね、幸せなんて
寂しさはひるがえり旗の元へと二人は集う
世界は君のものさ、手が届いてあなたがいて
踏み外してみようか、愛するひとが私を誘う
find me in the wonderland
in your wonderland
綺麗な吐息になって
あなたの歌をうたって
中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
皎潔的月光為我照亮此行、於迷幻之森捕獵真心
踩踏著草蕨、潤濕了雙足,行於令人陶醉的夏日小徑岸邊
曾互相歡笑、哭泣、注視彼此,才使得我們惶恐地墜入愛戀
卻漸漸步入相異路途,竟連呼喊之聲都令人無比焦躁
請步入仙境尋覓迷失的我吧
雙手漸漸開始沾染污穢,試著放縱自身索求慾望
解開扎起的髮辮,成為共食星斗的戀人,相濡以沫
寂寞的心、鋪張的夜色,仍遊走於璀璨的夢的畔邊
早已被啃咬殘缺的心,將自此幻化為歌謠
「你已擁有了全世界,我們要去哪呢?」你莞爾而笑
「要不試著背離正道呢?」罪惡感正如此略誘著我
請步入仙境尋覓孤單的我吧
尚須一份不論如何都欲潰爛重生的強烈意志
曾嚴謹拘束的生命,卻僅自身無法尋見方向
細數繁星、相相連繫,嘗試探尋尚不知悉的夏季星座
彼此相視而泣直至天明,兩人的故事自此展開
「我已不再孤身一人,就彷彿夢一般對吧?」我唱著
寂寥的心隨風飄揚,使彼此相遇於同面旗下
乃因不如己意才使得兩人的生命交織展開
不妨背離正道、作個矇眼鬼循向掌鳴之處
步向有你所處的仙境
僅為了在你迷失之地,綻亮一絲光芒
我將為此獻上花束,兩人一同凜然而笑吧
「我已不再孤身一人,但這份幸福仍會讓人感到恐懼吧?」
寂寥的心隨風飄揚,使彼此相遇於同面旗下
「你已擁有了全世界。」向著觸手可及的你說著
「要不試著背離正道呢?」心愛之人如此略誘著我
請步入仙境尋覓重生的我吧
在那僅有兩人的仙境
化作絢麗的吐息
唱著屬於你的歌謠
英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
Within a forest of delusion, I search for truth
The light of the moon illuminating my hunt
I step over ferns, my feet becoming wet
The water puddling on the edge of a summer path
Having shared laughter, tears, and gazes between us
Warily, cautiously, I fell in love
Along the separate paths the two of us walked
Is vexingly, only the sound of our voices calling to each other
Find me in the wonderland
Before long, my hands grow dirty
As I chase after that which my self desirеs
My braid becoming undone
We bitе down into the same star, and become a pair
A lonesome, solitary night arrives
The shore of dreams still brightly lit
A heart is left half-eaten and tossed aside
From here forth begins a transformation into song
This world is your plaything, and wherever I go
You are there, laughing
Should I try and step off the path, the unease shall beckon to me
Find me in the wonderland
Even if I must be reborn anew
I cannot go on without a strong, unshakeable will
My life has been a cautious, prudent one
And thus, only I am unable to find a path
Counting the stars, connecting them together
Into an as-yet-unknown summer constellation
Gazing at each other, I cry, and morning comes
From here forth begins a story
I'm no longer on my own, aren't I? Isn't this like a dream? I sing
Desolation flutters in the wind, and we meet at the base of its flag
Since nothing is beginning to go as I had expected
I shall try and step off the path, to the source of the hunter's clap
In your wonderland
For the sake of kindling a light in the place you wander, lost
You held a bouquet in your arms, chivalrously, let's have a laugh
I'm no longer on my own
It is incredibly frightening, about happiness
Desolation flutters in the wind, and we meet at the base of its flag
This world belongs to you, I reach out my hand and you are there
As I step off of the path, my beloved beckons to me
Find me in the wonderland
In your wonderland
Becoming a beautiful breath
Singing a song about you
