世界語(Esperanto)創始人柴門霍夫150週年



世界語(Esperanto)是最為廣泛使用的人工語言。波蘭眼科醫生柴門霍夫(Łazarz Ludwik Zamenhof)在對其進行了十年的創作工作後於1887年創立了這個語言的基礎。世界語的命名來自於Doktoro Esperanto(希望者醫師),這是柴門霍夫第一次出版《第一本書》(Unua Libro)時所使用的筆名。世界語的定位是國際輔助語言,不是用來代替世界上已經存在的語言。柴門霍夫的目標是創立一種簡單易學而靈活的語言,一種普世的第二語言,用來促進世界和平及國際了解。現在一些世界語者仍然抱著這樣的期望,但大多數的人只是想用它來與外國人打交道以及了解其它的國家和文化。今天,以世界語為母語的人士約1000人。能流利使用的人估計十萬到兩百萬人。

相對於其它的民族語言,世界語已經被證明是一種簡單易學的第二外語(特別是對於那些諸如英語、法語等具有許多不規則現象的語言或不是表音語言的語言來說)。也有證據表明在學習其他的第二外語之前(特別是印歐語系的語言)學習世界語有助於其他第二外語的學習,因為在學習了一門外語後再學習另一門外語會比剛學第一門外語時簡單,而對於語法簡單的輔助語的學習將有助於減少「第一外語」的學習障礙。在一個研究中,一組高中學生用一年時間學習世界語,然後用三年時間學習法語。結果是這組學生的法語掌握程度要好於沒有學習世界語而在四年間都學習法語的一組。[來源請求]

通過華盛頓大學的Sidney S. Culbert博士的研究,有1,600,000使用世界語的人達到了相當的水平。[來源請求]這個數字只限於那些「專業精通」的世界語者人群中(擁有實際的除了問候和簡單的片語的以外的會話能力)。這個研究並不是針對世界語的,而是對世界上大多數的語言所進行的研究。這個數字也被Almanac World Book of Facts和Ethnologue所引用。假設這個數字是正確的,這就意味著世界人口中的大約0.03%人使用著這種語言,迄今仍遠沒有達到柴門霍夫的使它成為世界通用語的目標。人類學家也宣稱世界上有大約200-2000的世界語第一語者,據稱貨幣投機家喬治·索羅斯也是世界語母語使用者。[來源請求]

在2002年的5月3日,維基百科的世界語版本曾成為維基百科中的第四大語言版本。2005年8月為止,它是第十五大的語言版本。(皆以條目數量計算)

1964年的Angoroj是第一部使用世界語拍攝的電影。1965年,由威廉·夏特納主演的Incubus是唯一一部知名的完全使用世界語的長片。

Mariah Carey - I Want To Know What Love Is



I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me

Let's talk about love
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside
I want you to show me, and I'm feeling so much love
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide
I know you can show me, yeah

Wes Carr - You



Got guitars I have never played
Every Elvis album ever made
Got the cars that I should learn to drive
could have a house that would blow your mind

You can take what I got cause I don’t got nothing
worth havin I if I aint got you
You can take what you want cause I don’t want nothing
I’m nothing, if I don’t have you
Yeah

I’ve been to places all around the world
I’ve seen the faces of so many girls
never thought I would fall in love
and with the songs I write I’m not enough

You can have what I got cause I don’t got nothing worth havin
if I ain’t got you
You can take what you want cause I don’t want nothing
I’m nothing if I don’t have you

I could say but I’m nothing if I don’t have you
You can have what I got cause I don’t got nothing worth havin
if I ain’t got you

Just send me away
Don’t need my sorrow
If I’m broke, I’ll borrow
Just send me a smile
as long as your here by my side

Take what you want baby
Ain’t got nothing aint got nothing but you now
Take what you want baby
Ain’t got nothing, I ain’t got nothing

You can take what I got cause I don’t got nothing worth having
if I ain’t got you
You can take what you want
Cause I don’t want nothin
I’m nothin if I don’t have you

You can take what I got cause I dont got nothing worth having
if I aint got you
You can take what you want cause I don’t want nothin
I’m nothin if I don’t have you

Take what you want
Ain’t got nothing, ain’t got nothing you baby
You can take what you want
I’m nothin
I’m nothin if I don’t have you

Wes Carr - Feels Like Woah



Wa oh oh oh oh oh woah
Wa oh oh oh oh oh waaa-oh
(repeat)

I was just out of school an' she was twenty-two
It was only one night an' no-one ever knew
Never saw her again, but that was alright
It was just for a while, but it felt like

Wa oh oh oh oh oh woah
Wa oh oh oh oh oh waaa-oh

Took the money she saved and bought an old car
Threw her back on the seat and drove into the stars
All she wanted to do was see the sun rise
When it lit up the sky, you know she felt like

Wa oh oh oh oh oh woah
Wa oh oh oh oh oh waaa-oh
(repeat)

Stand up, hold on, let go, shout out
Don't barf, free fall, begin right now
Get lost, get loud, wake up, break out
Don't stop 'till it feels like

Wa oh oh oh oh oh woah
Wa oh oh oh oh oh waaa-oh
(repeat)

He was only a kid when he joined up
They told him, "Son, be a man," and that's not what he was
They put gun in his hand and told him who to fight
When he got back home, you know it felt like

Wa oh oh oh oh oh woah
Wa oh oh oh oh oh waaa-oh
(repeat)

Stand up, hold on, let go, shout out,
Don't barf, free fall, begin right now,
Get lost, get loud, wake up, break out,
Don't stop 'till it feels like

Wa oh oh oh oh oh woah yeaaah
Wa oh oh oh oh oh waaa-oh
Don't stop 'till it feels like
Wa oh oh oh oh oh woah
Wa oh oh oh oh oh waaa-oh

Yeah stand up, hold on, let go, shout out
Don't barf, free fall, begin right now
Get lost, get loud, wake up, break out
Don't stop 'till it feels like

Wes Carr - Love Is An Animal



When this night has only two faces
I'm the monster she's my prey
Could pick her up and take her to places
Could show her what love is today

And the walls have ears but they don't have eyes
So you do not have to dress in disguise
And the doors have mouths but they do not listen
They seem to bite you when you're not welcome

CHORUS

You know love is an animal
You know love is an animal

And you're all just insatiable
You know love is an animal

When this night has only two footsteps
She's a killer I'm her prey
So forever there'll be two footsteps
Here i am just walking away

In this light there's only one shadow
In the dark i make my way
So forever there'll be one shadow
I've gone in deeper it's too late

Boys Like Girls - Love Drunk


(hey! hey! hey! hey!)
Top down in the summer sun
The day we met was like a hit and run
And I still taste it on my tongue (taste it on my tongue)
The sky was burning up like fireworks
You made me want you oh so bad it hurt
But girl, in case you haven't heard.

I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hung over
I love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night; now it's just a bar fight
So don’t call me crazy; say hello to goodbye (okay!)

Just one sip (okay!) would make me sick
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hung over
I love you forever, but now it's over

(hey! hey! hey! hey! hey! hey! hey! hey!)
Hot sweat and blurry eyes
We're spinning on a roller coaster ride; the world stuck in black and white
You drove me crazy every time we touched, now im so broken that i can't get up
Oh girl, you make me such a lush

I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hung over
I love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night; now it's just a bar fight
So don’t call me crazy; Say hello to goodbye (okay!)

Just one sip (okay!) would make me sick
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hung over
I love you forever, but now it's over

All the time I wasted on you; All the bullshit you put me through
I'm checking into rehab cause everything that we had didn't mean a thing to you.

I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hung over
I love you forever, but now I'm sober

I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hung over
I love you forever, forever is over
We used to kiss all night; now it's just a bar fight
So don’t call me crazy; Say hello to goodbye (okay!)
Just one sip (okay!) would make me sick
I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hung over
I love you forever, but now it's over
(na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na)

Now it's over
Still taste it on my tongue
Now it's over

Keane - Everybody's Changing


You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

You're gone from here
And soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

Adam Lambert - Time For Miracles


It’s late at night and I can’t sleep
Missing you just runs too deep
Oh I can’t be thinking of your smile
Every kiss you can’t forget
This aching heart ain’t broken yet
Oh God I wish I could make you see
Cause I know this flame isn’t dying
So nothing can stop me from trying

Baby you know that
Maybe it’s time for miracles
Cause I ain’t giving up on love
You know that
Maybe it’s time for miracles
Cause I ain’t giving up on love
No I ain’t giving up on us

I just want to be with you
Cuz living is so hard to do
When all I know is trapped inside your eyes
The future I cannot forget
This aching heart ain’t broken yet
Oh God I wish I could make you see
Cuz I know this flame isn’t dying
So nothing can stop me from trying

Baby you know that
Maybe it’s time for miracles
Cuz I ain’t giving up on love
You know that
Maybe it’s time for miracles
Cause I ain’t giving up on love
No I ain’t giving up on us
Baby can you feel it(feel it)
You know I can hear it(hear it)
So can you feel it feel it….
You know it’s time….
Baby you know that
Maybe it’s time for miracles
Cuz I ain’t giving up on love
You know that
Maybe it’s time for miracles
Cuz I ain’t giving up on love
You know I ain’t giving up on us
You know I ain’t giving up on
Oh I ain’t giving up on us

Michael Buble - Just Haven't Met You Yet


I'm Not Surprised
Not Everything Lasts
I've Broken My Heart So Many Times,
I Stop Keeping Track.
Talk Myself In
I Talk Myself Out
I Get All Worked Up
And Then I Let Myself Down.

I Tried So Very Hard Not To Loose It
I Came Up With A Million Excuses
I Thought I Thought Of Every Possibility

And I Know Someday That It'll All Turn Out
You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid That I'll Get So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

Mmmmm ....

I Might Have To Wait
I'll Never Give Up
I Guess It's Half Timing
And The Other Half's Luck
Wherever You Are
Whenever It's Right
You Come Out Of Nowhere And Into My Life

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Baby Your Love Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Possibility

Mmmmm ......

And Somehow I Know That It Will All Turn Out
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid I'll Get So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

They Say All's Fair
And In Love And War
But I Won't Need To Fight It
We'll Get It Right
And We'll Be United

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Being In Your Life Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Single Possibility

Mmmm .....

And Someday I Know It'll All Turn Out
And I'll Work To Work It Out
Promise You Kid I'll Give More Than I Get
Than I Get Than I Get Than I Get

Oh You Know It'll All Turn Out
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid To Give So Much More Than I Get
Yeah I Just Haven't Met You Yet

2009.09.23 CHALLENGE

I met the biggest CHALLENGE of my life today. Before today, I was so nervous! I couldn't sleep and eat. Otherwise, I had a nightmare! I need a psychologic counselor. There were ninety people in the class. It's so many! My heart beat 200 times per minute! I couldn't image they are just woods. I prepared 20 minutes for introducing this program, but I just spent 10 minutes. Did I speak so quickly? I couldn't say anything more. Every second just like an hour, how slow! Go! Go! Go! Janet!

今天面臨了我人生當中的一大挑戰,實習課!前幾天就一直很緊張、很慌張,睡不著覺、吃不下飯、做惡夢啦!我需要心靈治療師。修課人數90人,也太多了吧!不緊張也難,心跳200!完全沒辦法把他們當作是木頭,原本準備好的草稿是20分鐘,我卻只花了10分鐘就講完了,我講話有這麼快嗎???有這麼快嗎?我辭窮了,完全擠不出話來,每分鐘就像一小時這麼久,度日如年呀!Go! Go! Go! Janet!

2009.09.03 Doraemon

Happy Birthday! Doraemon! 但是我還是習慣叫他小叮噹!


中文版官網:哆啦 A 夢

今天也是中元節,又是忙碌的一天。
Today is Ghost Festival, still a busy day.

The Ghost Festival (simplified Chinese: 中元节; traditional Chinese: 中元節; pinyin: zhōngyuánjié, alternatively simplified Chinese: 鬼节; traditional Chinese: 鬼節; pinyin: guǐjié) is a traditional Chinese festival and holiday, which is celebrated by Chinese in many countries. In the Chinese calendar (a lunisolar calendar), the Ghost Festival is on the 14th night of the seventh lunar month.

In Chinese tradition, the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar is called Ghost Day and the seventh month in general is regarded as the Ghost Month (鬼月), in which ghosts and spirits, including those of the deceased ancestors, come out from the lower realm. During the Qingming Festival the living descendants pay homage to their ancestors and on Ghost Day, the deceased visit the living.

On the fifteenth day the three realms of Heaven, Hell and the realm of the living are open and both Taoists and Buddhists would perform rituals to transmute and absolve the sufferings of the deceased. Intrinsic to the Ghost Month is ancestor worship, where traditionally the filial piety of descendants extends to their ancestors even after their deaths. Activities during the month would include preparing ritualistic food offerings, burning incense, and burning joss paper, a papier-mache form of material items such as clothes, gold and other fine goods for the visiting spirits of the ancestors. Elaborate meals would be served with empty seats for each of the deceased in the family treating the deceased as if they are still living. Ancestor worship is what distinguishes Qingming Festival from Ghost Festival because the latter includes paying respects to all deceased, including the same and younger generations, while the former only includes older generations. Other festivities may include, buying and releasing miniature paper boats and lanterns on water, which signifies giving directions to the lost ghosts and spirits of the ancestors and other deities.

2009.09.01

這兩天當同學的導遊,搭了好多次台中市的公車,我對台中市真的很不熟很不熟,只知道台中港路直直走直直就可以回到家,左右兩邊的支線,我都不熟啦!真的很不熟!公車站牌什麼的,我不熟啦!就說我很討厭搭公車,路途遙遠~我要騎機車!!!我真的是一個很不在地的在地人。

I be a tour guide for my classmates two days. We took a bus many times in Taichung City. I'm really really not familiar with Taichung City. I just know that go stright the Taichung Port Rd., and I can go home. I'm really not familiar with two side of Taichung Port Rd. and bus stops! Long long way to home~ I hate to take a bus! I want to ride a motorbike!!!

距上次到
國立自然科學博物館,已經有十年之久,以前國小戶外教學活動到科博館,只要看到恐龍就無法掩飾興奮的心情。再次拜訪科博館的感覺真的很不一樣,會比較仔細的看看說明板上的文字、玩玩小遊戲,科博展的特展還滿多的,花一整天都看不完,科博館跟以前相較真的豐富很多。下次再去,反正門票很便宜~

The last time I went to
National Museum of Natural Science is ten years ago. When I was young. I cannot hide exciting mood when I saw dinosaurs. To visit NMNS again is really different, read information of the exhitition very carefully and play some little games. NMNS is more abundant in exhibitions than before. I'll visit NMNS soon. Anyway the ticket is cheap.

今天到國小同學家開的米店買米,叫了他的名字,
Janet:你不記得我了嗎?
甲同學:你是Janet呀!我還記得,到現在一直都沒什麼變啊,就一樣黑黑的啊!(台語)
Janet:什麼!一樣黑黑的!(OS:從8歲到23歲都沒變!?一樣黑黑的...就只有黑黑的印象最深刻嗎...)

I bought rice from the store of my elementary school classmate. I called his name. Don't you remember me, I said.He said, you are Janet, I remember you! You never change, and you still have dark skin! What!? I still have dark skin? (OS:From 8 years old till 23 years old??? Never change? Do you only remember dark skin about me?)

Today is Chinese Valentine's Day. I don't want to go out. Because the shine of couples is too bright! Give me a pair of sunglasses! Two years ago... Actually, I don't want to go out at Valentine's Day. But I still took MRT to Tapei Main Station, because I needed to go to cram school. A lot of couples surrounded me, I couldn't breath... Give me a pair of sunglasses!!!
