考考你朋友有關聖誕節的趣聞知識，你答對了幾題?

祝同學聖誕節快樂🎄🎁🎅

★★★★★★★★★★★

1. Out of every 10 people, how many Americans celebrate Christmas?

美國人當中每十人有幾個慶祝聖誕節？

Answer: Nine in 10 Americans celebrate Christmas, according to a 2017 survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, and around 55% consider it a religious holiday, while 33% think of it as more of a cultural celebration.

皮尤研究中心於2017年進行的一項調查顯示，十分之九的美國人慶祝聖誕節；大約55％的人將其視為宗教節日，而33％的人則將其視為一種文化慶祝活動。

★★★★★★★★★★★

2. Has Christmas ever been illegal to celebrate?

慶祝聖誕節曾經是非法的嗎？

Yes. The Massachusetts-Bay Colony ordinance of 1659 made Christmas illegal to celebrate in that specific colony. The law was repealed in 1681. Christmas didn’t become a state holiday in Massachusetts until 1856, though.

沒錯。 1659年的馬薩諸塞州灣殖民地法令讓在那個殖民地慶祝聖誕節是非法的，該法律於1681年被廢止。聖誕節直到1856年才成為馬薩諸塞州的國定假日。

★★★★★★★★★★★

3. How did red and green become Christmas colors?

紅和綠是如何成為聖誕節代表色？

We mostly have holly and Coca-Cola to thank for the rise of red and green as Christmas colors. Holly, obviously, has bright red berries and dark green leaves. It was used long ago by the ancient Celts for winter solstice celebrations as a symbol of protection and good luck. Coca-Cola’s role in making the colors a widespread combo for the holiday began in 1931 with ads featuring Santa Claus in a red and white suit surrounded by a green background and accents.

拜冬青樹和可口可樂所賜，紅色和綠色逐漸成為聖誕節的顏色。顯然地，冬青有鮮豔的紅色漿果和深綠色的葉子；古代凱爾特人很早以前就用它作為冬至慶祝活動，冬青有保護和好運的象徵。可口可樂讓這兩個顏色成為聖誕節廣為人知的組成則始於1931年，廣告中聖誕老人穿著紅色和白色的西裝，周圍環繞著綠色背景和符號點綴。

★★★★★★★★★★★

4. True or false: "Jingle Bells" was written to be a Christmas song.

「鈴兒響叮噹」是為了聖誕節而寫的對嗎？

False! The song wasn’t intended to be attached to the holiday. Some historical reports say it was first performed at a Thanksgiving church service. In any case, the lyrics don’t mention any holiday at all.

錯！這首歌當初和這節日沒有關聯。有歷史報導說這首歌第一次是在感恩節教堂第一次被表演。總之，歌詞當中根本沒有提到任何節日。

★★★★★★★★★★★

5. How many Americans use artificial Christmas trees?

多少美國人會用人造聖誕樹？

A survey conducted by Nielsen for the American Christmas Tree Association found that nearly 94 million U.S. households will display a Christmas tree this year. Of those, 85 percent are artificial.

尼爾森為美國聖誕樹協會所做的一項調查發現，今年有將近9,400萬的美國家庭展示聖誕樹，其中85％是人造的。

★★★★★★★★★★★

6. How much do Americans spend on holiday shopping?

美國人在聖誕節會花多少錢買東西？

The National Retail Federation reports that Americans plan to spend an average of about $998 this year on holiday shopping. That’s down from last year’s average of around $1,048.

全美零售聯合會指出，美國人預計在這個聖誕節平均花費大約998美元消費，相較去年的平均值1,048美元有所下滑。

★★★★★★★★★★★

7. True or false: People no longer send out Christmas cards.

人們不再寄聖誕卡片了對嗎？

False! The rate of sending any greeting card has gone down over the years, but this year especially, people are sending holiday cards as a way to connect with others during the pandemic.

錯！這些年來發賀卡的速度不斷下降，但特別是在今年，為了在流行病期間與他人聯繫，人們會發送節日賀卡。

★★★★★★★★★★★

8. What's the most popular Christmas song of all time?

歷史上最受歡迎的聖誕節歌曲為何？

Answer: The most recorded Christmas song of all time is "Silent Night," according to Time, whereas "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby holds the Guinness World Record for the best-selling single.

答：根據《時代》雜誌，有史以來錄製最多次的聖誕節歌曲是《寂靜的夜晚》，而Bing Crosby的《白色聖誕節》則維持吉尼斯世界紀錄的最高銷量。

★★★★★★★★★★★

9. Why do we hang Christmas stockings?

為什麼我們要掛聖誕襪？

Answer: The tradition came about thanks to a legend that states the generous Turkish bishop St. Nicholas helped a set of three poor sisters avoid a life of indentured servitude by paying for their dowries. For three nights, the bishop threw gold down their chimney, which landed in their stockings hung by their fireplace to dry. Now we carry on the tradition by hanging stockings to fill with gifts and small treats.

答：這個傳統來自於一個傳奇。故事說道，慷慨的土耳其主教聖尼古拉斯支付嫁妝幫助一組可憐的三個姐妹免除奴役。主教把煙囪裡的金子扔了下來共三晚，而金子掉入壁爐旁掛著的長襪中晾乾了。現在，我們透過掛襪子來放禮物和小點心來延續傳統。

★★★★★★★★★★★

10. True or false: There was once a real-life Santa Claus.

現實生活中曾有聖誕老人對嗎？

Answer: True! The Christian bishop Saint Nicholas was the inspiration behind the jolly man we all know and love. St. Nicholas, a generous, gift-gifting clergyman, lived in modern day Turkey and devoted his life to helping the poor, according to Biography.

答：沒錯！基督教主教聖尼古拉是我們大家都知道並且喜歡的歡樂男人（聖誕老人）背後的靈感來源。根據傳記，聖尼古拉斯是一位慷慨、會送禮的神職人員，住在現代土耳其，一生致力於幫助窮人。

★★★★★★★★★★★

Bonus Question: Can you still say Merry Christmas?

I will leave this question to you.

你還能再說「聖誕快樂」嗎？還是要講別的說法? 這問題的答案留給你好好思考。

[ 10年感情的道别 | Goodbye My 10 Years Relationship ]
10年真的不短，很遗憾无法一起走到最后。

求婚了，却早已错过应该发生的时间点。
面对瓶颈考验的爱情在挽救期中感性被理性打败了，写下句号。
我们分了。我们都很不舍，但确实分了。

很抱歉，令所有期待的家人朋友失望了。
这10年里她对我很好，无可挑剔；而我做不好的我全都承认，是我的理所当然及舒适心态导致了今天的所有，我诚心道歉。

对于一直关心我俩的亲朋好友，感恩过去所有的祝福，也谢谢这些年的见证。
对于曾煽动我们分手的朋友们，抱歉拖了那么久，往后不需煽动了。

我特别要感谢彼此的家人、爱我们的家人们。这些年让大家心中累计的担忧及不满实在不应该，让大家操心了，诚恳地鞠躬致歉。谢谢这些年的爱与包容，打从心里的感恩，谢谢。

在这里，至这位10年前为我化妆而邂逅的，10年来风雨不改以我为先的，让我在爱情里一夜长大的她 – Mey ，谢谢你一切付出、包容、体谅及信任，完整了我生活许多的缺失区块，也为我生命彩出了鲜艳的色彩。谢谢你总无条件地支持我每个决定，即使以世界为敌你还是站在我身旁。谢谢你无限的精神鼓励，让我即使在烂透的状态下也努力撑过去，因为我知道至少还有你这位铁粉的守候。万语千言在心中说不尽，我想你知道的。谢谢你，真心真心地谢谢你。正如我十年前为你写的歌 – “美丽意外“里的歌词，至今，我仍觉得遇见你是个美丽的意外，真的。

容我忍泪再次公开说, Mey Ng , 我爱你。

面对10年感情的结束，难过是肯定的。
即使平时爱笑的我们，也为这次的句号流了好多公升的泪。但我们答应彼此会带着所有开心的记忆把对方放在心中一个特别的位置。换了身份，没了昵称，不管未来缘分如何，我们都会是彼此继续珍惜的那位。

最后，公开这首十年前写给她的歌，也是十年后我重新录制十周年版本向她求婚的作品。MV里记录了过去十年的精选画面，婚没求得成，但我们都认为这首歌是纪念这10年的最初；10年的最终，最佳的礼物，也要谢谢歌曲的幕后团队 ： Keon Chia 佳旺 (金马旺) 的 编曲 / 制作 / 录音 /配唱 , Isabell Jia Jia 沁嘉 的 合音编写 / 合音 ， Haw Vee 文浩 的混音。他们是少数知道我求婚计划也期待着好消息的朋友。。。可惜让你们失望了，谢谢你们的一切付出与耐心，我都真心感激。

爱情其实只有你和我，但考虑到彼此有太多共同朋友，为了避免揣测还是决定做个交代。谢谢大家这十年的祝福。当你看到这贴文时我俩的脸书感情状态应该已经更新。

是很意外，连我俩都为这样的今天感到意外，如果是注定意外，至少让它是个 [美丽意外]，好吗？

爱要及时，记得好好珍惜依然在你身边的那位，衷心祝福大家。
缘起缘灭感恩一切，合十。

10 years, regret that we couldn’t make it till the end.

I proposed, but had missed the right timing to do it right.
After went through the consideration period, rational beat sentimental, it ended.
Yes, we broke up. It’s really hard to accept, but yes, we broke up.

Truly regret to all friends and families’ members who had expectation on us. For the past 10 years, she’s perfect. For all the wrong which I made, I’ll take all the blame. I’m truly sorry, for the relationship which I care so much.

To all friends who care about both of us throughout these 10 years, thanks for witnessing us.
To those who didn’t expect good ending, sorry for the long waiting.

I would like to specially thank both of our family’s members. I can understand all the worries and dissatisfactions throughout the years. Really shouldn’t allow those to happen. I Sincerely apologize. Sorry.

Hereby, I would like to thank her, the girl I crushed into when she did make up for me 10 years ago, the girl who always put me as priority for the past 10 years, the girl who used 10 years’ time to grew me up in the world of love – Mey , Thank you for everything, you completed a lot of my missing part in life and had brighten up my days with different colours. Thanks for always standing by my side although when the world disagree on me. Thanks for your bottomless mental support which let me went through lots of down time as I always know there’ll at least be a super fans forever, it’s you. As of now, I still feel like knowing you is 1 of the most beautiful accident in life, and you able to calmed me down whenever and wherever you were around. It’s more than words, I’m sure you knew it, thank you so much, sincerely.

Allow me to hold my tears and say this 1 more time openly, Mey, I love you, as always.

10 years long run coming to an end, for sure it’s really hurt and sad.
But we’ll promise to bring along all happy memories and place each other at a special point in our heart. You will always be a person that I care about.

Lastly, sharing out the song I wrote for her 10 years ago, and it’s being re-produced again into a 10th year anniversary version for my proposal purpose. The MV are made by all key moments we been through together. Although my proposal failed, but we do think it’s a best way to conclude and remember those 10 years, from the beginning to the end. Thanks to the song production team : Keon Chia (Golden Horse Award Winner 2020) for Music Arrangement, Produce, Recording, Vocal Guide. Thanks to Isabell Jia Jia for the background Vocal & Background Vocal Arrangement. Thanks to Haw Vee for the Mixing. They were the few who knew my proposal plan and awaiting the good news …. However, sorry to let you all down. Thanks to all the effort, it’s my honor to have you guys in this important journey and I deeply appreciate it in heart.

Love actually is just you & me, but we decided to explain about this to avoid any assumptions as we got too many mutual friends. Thanks to all lovely wishes for the past 10 years. When you see this post, I believe our relationship status on FB had changed.

Yes it’s really an accident to our relationship, even to ourselves. If it’s meant to be an accident, at least let it be a “Beautiful Accident”.

Always express your LOVE before too late and appreciate he/her who still together with you. Best wishes to everyone.

With Love, Sorry and Thanks.

【天青色等煙雨，而我在等你】(English writing below)

我看著客人眼淚
滴滴答答的打在桌面上
筆記本
濕了
本子上的字
糊了

她的心酸
猶如洪泉遇到崩裂的堤壩
一波一浪的破牆而出

一個被愛情辜負的女子
看了真是心疼

我不由自覺的
想到了自己

你懂我的
像我這樣剛烈的女子
爲了愛情
我絕不退縮
祇是一個勇字
又豈能成事呢

童年
過得心驚膽顫
家裡常吵得
雞犬不寧

爸爸沒想要
把我生下
媽媽常說
要把我趕出去

我很努力讀書
我很努力做個乖孩子
我覺得我做得很好
人小小本事很大
但這些終究無法
讓我在美滿的家庭長大

多少個夜晚裡
我被媽媽打得
想奪門而出
永不再見
可是想到誰來照顧她
我又忍下來

我很恨
為何我命運不如人

第一次談戀愛時
我是多麼多麼的雀躍
內心裡的煙花
不斷地爆開
我終於等到了
不再是
沒人要的孩子了

我終於
值得有人愛了

初戀的絢麗
卻也如七彩美麗的煙花
一聲巨響後
就消失在漆黑的夜裡

他常常在我面前
提到他如何深愛著
他中學時的校花
她是如此的美好

有一次
這校花來我們的學校
他得知後
破課室的門而出
沒見到她
他哭了一整個星期

心中的不安
讓我常常與他吵架
三年零八個月裡
我不是一個好女友
服滿兵役後
他喜歡上大學迎新會
的一位混血兒

後來
我和一位校友打了幾次桌球
某夜
他在ICQ向我索吻
對他的印象
就一落千丈了
（你以為老娘在賤賣嗎？）
不久一位朋友告訴我
他約會的對象
不只我一個

我有一位
很好很好的朋友
我在新加坡時
他常陪我
深夜打桌球到清晨
聊佛法聊人生
一起上佛學班
一起學國標舞
從未有一個人
如此瞭解我的心
如此照顧著我

但無所不談的當兒
他也不斷告訴
這麼多年來
他如何愛念著
一個女孩
對她始終無法忘懷

我又輸給
活在記憶中的人了

我這一份單戀
長達兩年
很磨人很磨人很磨人
差一點走不出來

第二次談戀愛
他常在我面前提起
一個他追了半年追不到的女孩
他說
有一天一定要去問她
為什麼不選擇他

在家裡的毒打
並沒有隨著我成人
而停止

後來拜師學藝
卻因爲品德不良
被師父一句
「你不是我要找的人。」
斷然吃了閉門羹

那天我哭得痛徹心扉
覺得自己
好像是
個沒人要的孩子

方文山因爲
八百年前
宋徽宗皇帝御批的這句
「雨過天青雲破處」
而在周傑倫《青花瓷》裡
寫了『天青色等煙雨，而我在等你』

他說
愛情里最無力的無奈
就是「等待」
天青色得等待
不知何時會降的雨
雨停
積雲散去
朗朗晴空中
天青色才能顯現
如同我
只能被动而安静的
等待着
不知何时才会出现的妳。

慢慢的
我開始認為
我這輩子等不到了
月老應該沒幫我
綁上紅線

學佛多年後
忽然恍然大悟
一個道理
没有东西是必须拥有的
沒有它
也不代表自己的不足

愛情
是一個填不滿的慾望
所以愛情劇長紅

在2015年2月21日年初三，根本上師蓮生活佛在台灣中天綜合電視台的訪談中說：https://youtu.be/EPDxwSt6a5I （時間12:08）

「師尊本身的愛是這樣的。我既然愛她，就是要她幸福，不是要佔有她，這種愛不是佔有，其實愛不是佔有。如果愛是佔有的話，那就是屬於慾望。如果愛不是佔有，我是祝福她，雖然我愛她，她不愛我，她愛別人，我就祝福她。如果愛別人會比較幸福，我就祝福她。這種愛就不是佔有的愛。如果是佔有的愛，一定會產生痛苦。」

原來我真正在等的
是自己
自己的智慧開了
心變闊達時
才不會讓他人決定
自己幾時可以幸福
可以幸福多久
命運在我手中
怎麼走本來就是我說了算

我輕輕的拿起桌上的紙巾，遞給女客人。她一把鼻涕，一把眼淚的向我道謝。

借了師父慣用的笑話，我柔聲細語的說：「別哭，新加坡缺水，要哭要到蓄水池哭，這樣我們可以少看馬來西亞的臉色做人。」

她破涕而笑。

我再說：「我看了妳的八字，現在又看到妳真人，勸你跟我講話老實一點，要不然我幫不到妳。妳明明一直做人家的小三，還敢跟我哭沒有男人要和妳結婚？妳不也偷偷拿了他不少錢嗎？我看妳明明就是一張愛錢的臉。」

奉勸各位大俠，在我面前，若要用眼淚爲武器，請三思，因爲虛偽的，我必定拆你面具。

..........................

I looked at the teardrops of my client, pitter patter onto the table top. My client's notebook got wet. The words got muddled.

All the pains in her heart were like the angry river crushing through a broken dam, tearing down the walls as the tears flowed.

To see a lady being let down by love was indeed heart-breaking.

I couldn't help but thought of myself.

You know me. An unyielding character like mine will not shrink like a coward in the name of love. Alas, there are things in life that can't be accomplished solely with courage.

My childhood was filled with a lot of fear. There were often quarrels at home.

My dad didn't want me to be born. My mum often said she wanted to chase me out of the house.

I studied very hard. I did my utmost to be an obedient kid, and I thought I did very well as young child but I was already very capable. However, all these were not enough for me to grow up in a complete family.

So many nights, I got beaten up so badly by my mum that I wanted to just break out of the door and never to see her again. But the mere thought of nobody looking after her pulled me back.

I hated so much. Why wasn't my destiny comparable to other people?

When I first fell in love, I was so elated. The fireworks in my heart exploded non-stop. I finally found someone. I was no longer that child which nobody wanted. I was finally worthy of someone's love.

The splendour of first love, however, was as temporal as the rainbow-coloured fireworks. After a loud explosion, it vanished into the darkness of night.

He would often tell me in my face, how much he pined for and loved his secondary school crush, apparently the prettiest and most perfect girl in school.

Once, this campus belle came to our school. When he got wind of the news, he dashed out of the classroom. Failing to see her, he cried for one whole week.

My insecurity caused me to quarrel with him often. In those 3 years and 8 months, I wasn't a great girlfriend. After his NS, he got together with a girl of mixed blood at his university's Orientation camp.

I played pool with a uni mate a few times. One night over ICQ, he teased me for a kiss. My impression of him dropped like hot cakes. Did I look like I was lelong-ing myself? Later, a girl pal told me that he was dating several girls at the same time.

I had a very good friend. Whenever I was in Singapore, he would accompany me to play pool till wee hours. We talked about Dharma, life, and we attended Buddhism and ballroom dancing classes together. I had never met a person who understood me and took care of me so well.

But among our endless conversations of everything and anything, he always told me how he still loved a girl from his school. He couldn't forget her.

Again, I lost to someone who lived in the memory of the guy I liked.

This one-sided love of mine burned for two years. It was very, very, very excruciating. I almost didn't make it out alive.

In my second relationship, the boyfriend would always tell me about a pretty girl whom he pursued for half a year, but failed to win her heart. He told me firmly that if he had the chance, he wanted to ask her why she did not choose him.

The abusive beating at home did not stop even after I grew up.

Later on, when I wanted to become Shifu's disciple, he turned me down flat because he didn't think I had good morals and values. He was blunt, "You are not the person I am looking for."

That night, I cried painfully hard. Suddenly, I felt like I was the kid from my childhood whom nobody wanted.

800 years ago, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty wrote in an imperial decree "雨過天青雲破處". It was this that inspired Vincent Fang (方文山) to write the lyrics 『天青色等煙雨，而我在等你』in Jay Chou's song 青花瓷 (Blue and white porcelain).

Vincent Fang said, the most powerless kind of helplessness in love was waiting.

The sky green colour had to wait for the rain, which it had no idea when it would arrive. After the rain stopped, the thick clouds dissipated, in the clear skies, the sky green colour would then be able to appear. This was just like how he could only passively and quietly wait, for his lady whom he had no idea when she would appear.

Gradually, I started thinking that in this lifetime, I would not be able to wait for that person to appear. Perhaps Yue Lao (the elderly celestial under the moon) did not tie the red string on me.

After many years of learning the Dharma, one day, I suddenly came to the realisation that nothing is a must to own.

Secular love is a black hole of desires. That is why romantic shows are evergreen.

On 21 February 2015, the 3rd day of the Lunar New Year, my Root Guru Living Buddha Lian-Sheng spoke in an interview with the Taiwan CTI Television Inc.: https://youtu.be/EPDxwSt6a5I （timestamp 12:08）

"My personal take on love is this. Since I love her, I will want her to be blissful, and not to possess her. Such love isn't possession. Actually love isn't possession. If love is possession, that belongs to desire. If love isn't desire, I will wish her well. Although I love her, she doesn't love me, but loves another person, so I will give her my best wishes. If loving another person brings her more happiness, I will wish her well. Such love isn't possessive love. If it is possessive love, there will surely be pain."

Then I realised, the one that I had been waiting all along for is myself. Waiting for my wisdom to develop, waiting for my heart to be more open, so that I would not place my happiness in the hands of another person, and let the person decide for me when I should be happy, for how long I can stay happy...

My destiny is in my hands. How it pans out is up to me to say.

I gently picked up a serviette from the table and passed it to my lady client. In a mush of mucus and tears, she thanked me.

Borrowing an old joke from Shifu, I gently told her, "Don't cry. Singapore lacks water. If you want to cry, you should cry at a nearby reservoir. This way, we don't have to see the colours of Malaysia in order to get more water."

She broke into a smile among her tears.

I continued, "After looking at your Bazi, and now that I have seen you in person, I advise you to be more honest with me, or else I will not be able to help you. You have all along been a mistress to other men, and you dare to come crying to me that no man wanted to marry you? Didn't you also stole some money from them? The way I see you, you obviously have a money grubber face."

My advice to all swordsmen: If you wish to use your tears as a weapon in front of me, think thrice. Because if you are a hypocrite, I will definitely rip your mask apart.

在感情的世界裡，是痛苦看清真相幸運，還是活在美好謊言之下更幸福？
深陷在你的騙局之中，就像溺水一樣，
在你給我希望之餘，又再次將我浸入失望的黑洞裡，載浮載沉。

字裡行間裡來回運用氣音、哼唱的旋律以及Collection chord編制的響亮吉他彈奏，
明確的鼓聲卻帶有著些許的哀傷，
在平靜與波瀾之中道出充滿謊言的感情，即使不捨也不得不結束。

或許你和我都參雜著些許謊言：
不管是掩蓋事實的你，
還是不想拆穿這一切早該落幕的自己。

LYRICS

Huh, Huh

我們總活在不同頻率之上
以為等待就是解答 等不到你下個休假

直到鏡頭裡有了她
終於了解 所有冷漠不是錯覺

And I know what to do, 總擅長退出
我不會鬧 我不會哭
最後依然祝你們幸福

But why u tryna pull me back into ur life
Why u mind, why u mind
When u can hurt me like I’m nothing to lose

So don’t tell me u will miss me when I leave
Don’t make me believe we’re still meant to be
I’m drowning
In your lies

別讓我相信你的藉口
I’m drowning
Drowning in memories

Huh, Huh

不需要糾纏的對白
下了決心 這是最後

無法釋懷的背叛
總好過 愛的妥協 卻不敢離開

And I know what to do, 總擅長退出
我不會鬧 我不會哭
最後依然祝你們幸福

But why u tryna pull me back into ur life
Why u mind, why u mind
When u can hurt me like I’m nothing to lose

So don’t tell me u will miss me when I leave
Don’t make me believe we’re still meant to be
I’m drowning
In your lies

別讓我相信你會難過
I’m drowning
Drowning in memories

Oh I see, Oh I see,
maybe this is how things should be
不得不 離開你

We’ve ended our last scene
With some blessed lies and good wishes
What a symphony….
用謊言愛你

There's no way out of an angry crowd without stepping on some toes
在憤怒的人群中若不狠心踩上別人的腳 根本難以逃出
They'll scream your name till the lights go out then they feed you to the wolves
他們會咆哮著你的名字 等到夜色降臨就將你拿去喂狼
It's hard to say who you'll be when they let those big red curtains close
當他們將那血色巨幕落下 你便前途末路
You know this
你知道這結局
Cause you told me so
因為這就是你親口告訴我的


I bet you forgot
但你肯定忘了
Black heels in the summertime
你在夏天穿著黑色高靴
Dad's bad cooking though you'd be polite
就算父親做飯手藝糟糕 你也會禮貌吃下
Honey now you got a look that I can't recognize
親愛的 如今的你我已不敢相認
Pulled me aside
你把我拉到一邊
And you said
對我說

To know me
想要瞭解我
Is to hate me
就得恨我
Is to hate what I've become
恨我現在的樣子
It's to watch me
就得看著我
As I'm falling
從梯子的最高處
From that ladder's last rung
跌落
It's to feel it
就得去感受我
Like a secret
彷佛感受一個秘密
You can't keep in
一個你守不住的秘密
I'm not the way I was
我已不是從前的我
I'm not the way I was
我已不是從前的我

Were you freed within, did you leave your skin?
你的內心自由嗎 你的靈魂是否離開過軀體
Are you tethered in your doubt?
還是說被你的疑惑絆住了腳
Have you breathed it in till it's medicine that you cannot live without
你是不是依賴於藥物 如今已經戒不掉
'Cause you came back home a fuckin' alien and we're stuck here on the ground
因為你回家的時候面色差得像個外星人 我們一同癱倒在地上
Call your mom back, kid, before the high comes down
孩子 在藥勁過去之前快打電話讓媽媽回來吧

Cause you forgot
因為你忘記了
Black heels in the summertime
夏天你穿著黑色高筒靴
Dirt road smoking on a Friday night
在週五的夜晚走在骯髒的路上抽著煙
Honey now you got a look that I can't recognize
現在你的樣子讓我不敢相認
You pulled me aside and you said
你把我拉到一邊對我說

To know me
想要瞭解我
Is to hate me
就得恨我
Is to hate what I've become
恨我現在的樣子
It's to watch me
就得看著我
As I'm falling
從梯子的最高處
From that ladder's last rung
跌落
It's to feel it
就得感受我
Like a secret
彷佛感受一個秘密
You can't keep in
一個你守不住的秘密
I'm not the way I was
我已不是曾經的我
I'm not the way I was
我已不是曾經的我
But to feel it
你得去感受
To see it
去看
The look in all their eyes
那些人的眼神
Is to breathe in
去吸入
To be in
去處於
The good grace of that God Light
那聖光的無限賜福中
To have it in your hands
用雙手承接
The one thing you wanted all your life
你畢生渴望的東西
"It's all mine"
全是我的了

But there's a hole I can't fill
但我心裡依然有一個無法填補的缺口
There's a curse I can't break
有一個無法打破的詛咒
And I gave my soul to it
我把我的靈魂都獻給了它
And it can't be reclaimed
卻只是有去無回
I was younger then
那時我還年輕
I was younger then
那時我還年輕
I was young
我還年輕

To know me
想瞭解我
Is to hate me
就得恨我
Is to hate what I've become
恨我現在的樣子
It's to watch me
就得看著我
As I'm falling
從梯子的最高處
From that ladder's last rung
跌落
It's to feel it
就得感受我
Like a secret
彷佛一個秘密
You can't keep in
一個你守不住的秘密
I'm not the way I was
我已不是從前的我
I'm not the way I was
我已不是從前的我
But to feel it
得去感受
To see it
去看
The look in all their eyes
他們那些人的眼神
Is to breathe in
去吸入
To be in
去處於
The good grace of that Godlight
聖光的無限賜福之中
It's to have it in your hands
雙手去承接
The one thing you wanted all your life
你畢生渴望的那個東西
"It's all mine"
都是我的了

And to feel it
去感受
To see it
去看
The look in all your eyes
你的眼神
Is to breathe in
去吸入
To be in
去處於
The good grace of this Godlight
聖光的無限賜福之中
It's to have it
用你的雙手
In your hands
去承接
The one thing I wanted my life
你畢生渴望的東西
It's all mine
都是我的了

Bad Digestion, a four-song EP from Taiwanese hip-hop innovator/songwriter Leo Wang, is a snapshot of life in Taiwan -- or anywhere, for that matter -- in 2021.

Let's start with a familiar everyday scene: you're sitting at a table, chopsticks in one hand, phone in the other. You're shoveling down food with one hand, swiping through emotion and drama with the other.

All this grease and gripe, day in, day out, will eventually get to you. This idea inspired the reggae-driven title track, on which Leo sings: "It's emotion, it's hunger, it's fate, all pulling on me / All these mundane things in the world -- I just want to break free."

Time for a digestif, then. The Taiwanese don't agree on everything, but they agree a meal is always good with white rice, or "Baifun." This cut is Leo's ode to Taiwan's great uniter, and his backing band feeds us a generous serving, dripping with funk.

When the world's hard to swallow, one can medicate, but one can also meditate, as Leo does on the last two songs. The space jazz-rock-infused "Experienced That" reminds us of our cosmic selves, as we are constantly pushed and pulled between positive and negative forces. "Mirror" closes the EP with a morsel of common wisdom worth remembering: when we look at other people, what we actually see is a reflection of ourselves.

Bad Digestion is a release from KAO!INC., and was produced by Jerry Li, who also contributes on electric guitar, and features Adriano Moreira on drums, Eugene Yu (UG) on bass, Tseng-Yi Tseng on keyboard, and Minyen Hsieh on saxophones.
