#天有眼: the eye of providence
————————-
天有眼 - 毛孟靜
中文的天有眼,一般跟 karma「業」劃上等號,指好人做好事會有好報,而壞人做壞事自然就有惡報。
英文也有類似的「天眼」,the eye of providence,指天道、天意、天命的眼睛;又叫 the all-seeing eye of God ,上帝無所不見的眼睛——這個講法,就更有源自基督教的宗教意味了。
西方的天有眼,不單止口述,且常常以圖案方式表達:一隻眼睛以光線或一道光包圍,it represents the eye of God watching over humanity,代表天主審視眾生。
*They may be doing and getting whatever they want, but the eye of providence is watching. 他們或可為所欲為,但相信天有眼。
說天有眼,而不說天有耳朵、鼻子或嘴巴,相信主要因為西方傳統有這句話:眼睛是靈魂之窗,The eyes are the window TO your soul。
好些西方文化中,雙目也就代表 the window OF the soul。網上有這樣的解說:This means that they immediately reflect our emotions, our fears, and our deepest emotive shades. 意思是眼睛會即時反映我們的情緒、恐懼及最深層次的感情。
"Look me in the eyes!"「看着我的眼睛!」這種四目交投的要求,是要透過對方雙眼來幫助判斷誠懇及坦白的程度。
古羅馬大儒 Cicero 西塞羅有這一名句:The face is a picture of the mind as the eyes are its interpreter. 一張臉,描繪一個人的思想,一雙眼,解釋了思想。
於是不論在哪一種語文,常常會包含仔細形容眼神的流露。眼前世紀疫情蔓延,人人都戴上口罩,看不到其他面部表情,就只剩下雙目,也許就更需要學習這方面的描述。例:
** That's an elderly man whose eyes often dance with mischief and amusement. 那是個雙眼常常跳動着調皮及饒有興味的老人。
** He watched them with eyes dispensing dark ambivalence. 他瞪着他們,露出陰沉曖昧的眼神。
** There was plenty of mirth in her eyes. 她的眼睛充滿笑意。
** There was nothing in his eyes except observational curiosity. 他眼裏除了因觀察而流露好奇的神色,什麼也沒有。

[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。

★★★★★★★★★★★★
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。

聽說最近兇兇的,#但我非常感謝所有的朋友 都不打擾不介入、也盡量用不斷後路的方式在表態聲援。有發現 #大支校長刪IG合照了嗎?校長的格局視野與實力,本來就不用跟沒品的人同框啊。^皿^
.
粉絲們,我們一起維持環境的整齊、建造一個讓藝術家能安心發表創作的安全網。台灣很自由,但 #言論自由不是用在攻擊藝術家或對方的粉絲身上。如果您看到「OO的粉絲都OO」(標籤化污名化)、「OO的身體就是OOO」(body shaming,it's not working!)、「聽OO的女生就是OOO啦」(slut shaming, it's not working!)、「處男或處女怎麼會聽或做R&B/這感覺就小處男性幻想」(Virginity Shaming,it's not working, EITHER! 抽到鬼牌真是恭喜你! )此時,歡迎你複製茱力的話,反過來問酸民:「今天,#當你從沒有坐飛機或坐火車的經驗、單純想被載一下去體驗時,會有人花費一整天時間在針對你嘲笑你侮辱你嗎?就算沒有搭火車搭飛機的經驗選擇先「自己走」,#何錯之有?#藝術本來就是藝術家的避風港,也是粉絲體驗七情六欲、四面八方的日常百態。❤人家有什麼樣的經驗、私生活、關垃圾ID屁事?)
.
#再用oo娘來罵人的人,我會請你出來用3000字憑著邏輯論述出處和參考資料辯論,#答不出來就變笑話囉。性別平權的2020耶,還用這種字欺負我們家天王喔?教壞孩子大小,缺了這個自覺,就不要出來當公眾人物。#會用娘來罵人的就是厭女沙豬(不分性別性傾向,例如陳o華),#小心女生等你18歲之後送你傳票當生日禮物!知錯就改,that's all. 🎁
.
stu sis請問您帳號檢舉了嘛?公眾人物要有作為和責任和止血能力,學點公關操作吧,您平常這麼慈善,有沒有很多熱心網友幫你?就如同你熱心幫台灣音樂那樣?我們聯手來場人性實驗吧。
.
此外,用 #OO娘 來戲謔藝術家的ID快刪文吧,人家天王不在意我茱力很在意啊,在意到我會一直嘴酸民,請您用3000字告訴我您當時使用娘是褒是貶?邏輯依據論述與出處在哪?????娘如果是髒字,你們初二回「娘家」,那是什麼樣的家?3講不出來就改講「他魔鬼終結者der」也一樣是TMD,不是顯得更聰明些,天網般躺著看到處都是妳的那對雙眼RRR。陰道如果臭那你們為什麼整天想鑽進去,你們又是從哪個產道出聲的呢?回答我嘛,啊不是很會講?Nothing PERSONAL. ^U^ 講話先經過大腦好嘛?做音樂也是。我們是對下一代甚至對東亞整個粉絲群都有責任與形象的。
還有北七酸民們,知道自己隨時可能活在一個被告的狀態嗎?知道 #心理健康權 這個東西嗎?基、本、人、權喔。憑什麼覺得自己可以用一句屁話弄髒大家的視線?以為自己誰?
.
請稍微小心,我們都要盡量避免,茱力不是在站在一個制高點說話,#跟真正用心創作的藝術家相比,#我只是一個他們腿邊的粉絲或貓,想打蟑螂或警告有老鼠而已。茱力也會提醒「自己」不要變成蟑螂或老鼠,我們都是選擇在這裡一起努力der,真der,真der。>/////////////////<
.
仇敵的伎倆早被我們識破,我們只要輕輕一個截圖去吉去嘴,做成笑話就可以了,不用正面衝突,#記得台灣是個「民主法治」的多元國家,#也是東亞平權燈塔❤看看韓國歌手為什麼黑料爆不完、明星自殺率高,而台灣這邊都沒事呢?
.
因為台灣R&B與嘻哈圈有 #溫暖懂事、#主動、#體貼又上進的你們喔!!❤ (hug)
.
面對網路罷凌、或無法控制後果的自家人罵自己人本以為是情趣但太過火(反而給外面酸民食人魚餡料)之際,我們都不會「今天公祭明天忘記」。

我們與世界互動的方式可根據自己內心的「free will/自由意志」連動,祝福那些不聽勸的ID都業力引爆,或剛好被我們看到。也祝福真正用心耕耘這塊領域的你,今年$錢數不完~鼠輩都退散,真的要遇到鼠的話就遇到可愛的……#哈姆太郎。

翻唱王菲的經典歌曲。回家過年的時候就想起這首歌~覺得歌詞好有意思。一邊自己錄影+錄音有點難度~還在學習 [妹妹們也偶爾被我托進來幫忙:D 謝啦]
Lyrics and translation obtained from: http://chinesemusicblog.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=
还没好好的感受 雪花绽放的气候
I still haven't had a good experience. In a climate of blooming snowflakes,*
我们一起颤抖 会更明白 什麽是温柔
Shivering together, we'll learn what tenderness is.
还没跟你牵著手 走过荒芜的沙丘
I'm still not holding your hand, walking across barren dunes.
可能从此以后 学会珍惜 天长和地久
Maybe from now on, we can learn to cherish eternity.
Chorus:
有时候 有时候 我会相信一切有尽头
There are times, there are times when I can believe there's an end to it all,
相聚离开 都有时候 没有什麽会永垂不朽
We meet, we part, everything has a time, there's nothing immortal,
可是我有时候 宁愿选择留恋不放手
But I have times when I'd rather choose to never depart,
等到风景都看透 也许你会陪我看细水长流
To wait until I've seen all of the scenery. Maybe you'll accompany me in persevering.
还没为你把红豆 熬成缠绵的伤口
I still haven't boiled red beans into the wound of sentiment for you
然后一起分享 会更明白 相思的哀愁
And then shared it with you so we can understand the sadness of lovesickness.
还没好好地感受 醒著亲吻的温柔
I still haven't fully experienced the tenderness of an awakening kiss.
可能在我左右 你才追求 孤独的自由
Maybe you only search for the liberty of loneliness around me.
* "雪花" is literally "snow flower," but means "snowflake" in Chinese. That's why the snowflakes are blooming
