The threat of emerging infectious diseases to global health and the economy, trade, and tourism has never abated. Pandemics can spread rapidly around the world because of the ease of international transportation. Among the most salient examples are the Spanish flu of 1918, the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak of 2003, and the H1N1 influenza of 2009. Intermittently, serious regional epidemics, such as Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) in 2012, Ebola in West Africa in 2014, and the Zika virus in Central and South America in 2016, have also reared their heads.
1. the threat of ⋯⋯的威脅
2. emerging infectious disease 新興傳染病
3. abate (v.) 減少;消除
4. salient examples 顯著的例子
5. regional epidemics 地區流行疫情;地區性流行病
6. rear their heads(令人不悅之事)發生;出現
新興傳染病對全球人類健康及經貿旅遊的威脅從未間斷過,舉凡1918年西班牙流感、2003年嚴重急性呼吸道症候群(SARS)、2009年H1N1新型流感等爆發的全球大流行,抑或2012年中東呼吸症候群冠狀病毒感染症(MERS)、2014年西非伊波拉出血熱、2016年中南美洲茲卡病毒感染症等導致的區域大流行,皆因國際航空運輸而加速散播到全球各地,造成全球衛生安全不可避免的傷害。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Today, a novel form of pneumonia that first emerged in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019 and has since been classified as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused a global pandemic. As of April 20, 2020, World Health Organization data showed that 2.24 million people had been confirmed as having the disease, with 152,551 deaths in 211 countries/areas/territories. Taiwan has not been spared.

8. be classified as 被分類為⋯⋯
9. a global pandemic 全球大流行
10. be confirmed as 被確認為⋯⋯
11. be spared 不被傷害;被赦免
更有甚者,2019年底從中國武漢傳出的不明原因肺炎,現已在全球各地爆發大流行,截至WHO在2020年4月8日的統計數據,全球已有1,353,361名確診病例、79,235名死亡,影響範圍擴及211個國家/區域/地區,臺灣亦無從倖免。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
As of April 20, Taiwan had tested a total of 55,476 persons showing 422 confirmed cases of COVID-19, of which 55 were indigenous, 343 imported, and 24 are Navy members currently serving in the fleet. Taiwan has reported just six deaths; 203 people have been released from the hospital after testing negative. Despite its proximity to China, Taiwan ranked 123rd among 183 countries in terms of confirmed cases per million people. This has shown that Taiwan’s aggressive efforts to control the epidemic are working.
12. as of 截至⋯⋯
13. confirmed cases 確診病例
14. indigenous 本土的
15. proximity to 鄰近
16. in terms of 就⋯⋯而言

截至4月20日止,我國已累計檢驗55,476例,共發現422起確診病例,其中本土55例、境外移入343例以及敦睦遠訓支隊24例。我國目前6例死亡;經三次採檢均為陰性的出院者203例。我國在地理位置上雖鄰近中國,然每百萬人口確診數在國際間排名約第123名,顯示臺灣防疫工作成效顯著。
★★★★★★★★★★★★
A crisis anywhere readily becomes a problem everywhere. Global health security requires the efforts of every person to ensure an optimal response to public health threats and challenges. Taiwan, though not a member of WHO, cannot stand alone and must be included in the fight against such threats and challenges. Taiwan has fulfilled its responsibilities as a global citizen and abided by the International Health Regulations 2005 (IHR 2005) in notifying the WHO of confirmed COVID-19 cases.

疾病無國界,星星之火足以燎原,地方疫情控制不好即可能造成全球大流行。因此,維護全球衛生安全亟需全體人類共同努力,確保最佳量能因應公共衛生威脅與挑戰。我國雖非WHO會員,但無法獨善其身、置身於全球衛生安全之外,故秉持世界公民之責,恪守國際衛生條例2005(IHR 2005)規範,主動向WHO通報確診病例,
★★★★★★★★★★★★
Moreover, Taiwan has communicated with other countries such as Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, the United States, Canada, Italy, France, Switzerland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and the Netherlands, as well as the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, to share information on confirmed cases, travel and contact histories of patients, and border control measures. Taiwan has uploaded the genetic sequence of COVID-19 to the Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data (GISAID). Taiwan has worked with global partners to respond to the threat of COVID-19 to ensure that global health is not imperiled by a lack of communication and transparency.

——————————————————————
兩千三百萬人在獨木舟上
——為什麼歐洲應該關切台灣的未來
反對黨公布2020總統候選人名單的那一天,我在台北和知識圈的朋友們午餐。那悲觀的,用問句來表達自己的悲觀,譬如,「你覺得台灣還有多少年?」那樂觀的,用黑色幽默來表達樂觀,譬如,「感謝老天。香港讓他們太忙了,沒時間管台灣。」
跟德國一樣,台灣對中國大陸和香港的貿易順差,在2018年是831億美元。百分之四十一的對外貿易針對中國,中國大陸市場對台灣的重要不言而喻。然而,隨著近年來台灣海峽兩岸的關係緊張,反對黨(國民黨) 憂慮市場的優勢無法持續,而執政黨(民進黨) 則選擇強化選民對北京的不信任來抵制中國的影響力。執政黨最近提出的國安新法可能將任何被認定為為中國宣傳者入罪。
和歐洲一樣,台灣人對中國的感受也是複雜的。 當中國代表的是活躍的經濟機會時,很多台灣人就容易所謂「親中」,當中國代表的是壓迫和可能的入侵時,很多台灣人就是所謂的「反中」。問題是,中國兩者兼備。後果就是,台灣內部的分歧遠遠超過了僅只是政治和經濟的層面。
如果你知道台灣是如何一路走來的,你會覺得它今天變成一個民主社會真是一個不得了的成就。沒有革命,一黨獨裁四十年的國民黨,不管你說它是自願還是被迫,放下了政權,分享權力。沒有流血,昔日牢裡的政治犯變成今日的立法者和政治領袖。1987年解嚴以後,政權的交替基本上公平而有序地進行了三十年。
台灣安靜地進行了三十年的民主,時間幾乎和它的國際孤立一樣長。美國不承認台灣的國家地位,但是,就如同當年對於德國,美國也扮演了安全守護者的角色。令人不安的是,在美國宣布要把軍售台灣常態化的同時,中國也宣布,它在台灣海峽及其領空,要把軍艦和戰機的演習常態化。
所以台灣民主的威脅其實是雙重的。比較明顯的是中國的威脅,這個威脅,往往超出台灣本身的控制能力。一個不那麼明顯的威脅,卻是內部自製的。台灣的政治人物和政黨熱切拿這個威脅做為政治資本,刺激集體恐懼來強化部落式的愛國主義。這種操作的成功,對台灣的民主制度和機構本身,是個真實的危險。
國際上那些純粹為了攻擊中國而故意把台灣捧在手心讚美的人,其實讓我坐立不安。一代又一代的台灣人為民主付出了代價,很大的代價,而得到今天的成果。這個成果,太珍貴了,不可以變成別人或別國為了自己的利益而拿來玩弄的籌碼或棋子。
德國的歷史是特殊的。德國的人民親身目睹了,如果不戒慎恐懼地去維護,一個開放合理的社會制度是如何容易地瓦解,一夜之間可以被獨裁取代。經歷了二戰,又擺脫了共產黨的歷史爭取到自由,德國可能比很多其他國家更容易理解台灣人的困境和追求。道德勇氣的來源往往是歷史的痛苦。身為歐盟的重要成員,德國有責任為世界的和平做出最大的努力,發揮最大的影響力。
但是,歐洲憑什麼一定要關心台灣呢?
首先,如果沒有台灣模式,全世界大概就都得接受一種說法,就是,儒家文化和民主制度是無法相容的,而所謂「中國模式」就是唯一邏輯、不可避免的現代中國。台灣的存在證明了一件事:未必如此。
第二,台灣本身的努力值得世界的尊敬。沒錯,如果中國是一艘航空母艦,那麼台灣只不過是一葉孤零零的獨木舟。可是在這個獨木舟上有兩千三百萬人正在追求一種有自由、有尊嚴的生活方式。如果台灣是歐盟的一個成員,就人口論,台灣就是二十八個成員國(英國脫歐後二十七國)中第七大國,比波蘭稍小,但比荷蘭和比利時大。以經濟購買力來看,台灣更是名列全球第二十二。所以,歐洲可以想像剝奪波蘭人或者荷蘭人對生活方式和政治體制的選擇權利嗎?
23 Million People on a Canoe
—Why Europe should care about Taiwan’s future
Lung Yingtai
On the day when the opposition party announced its presidential candidate for the 2020 election, I was sitting at a lunch table in Taipei listening to my intellectual friends uttering their concerns about the future of Taiwan. The pessimists phrased their pessimism in the form of questions such as “How many years do you think Taiwan has left?” The optimists expressed their optimism with dark humour, “Thank God they will be too busy with Hong Kong and the US for a while.”
Like Germany, Taiwan operates a trade surplus with mainland China and Hong Kong, amounting to $83.1 billion in 2018. With 41% of Taiwan’s exports going to China, Taipei’s economy depends on trade with the mainland. However, given the increasing tension across the Taiwan Strait, the opposition Kuomintang (KMT) in particular has been worrying whether Taiwan will be able to sustain these figures. The ruling Democratic Progressive Party, on the other hand, is capitalizing on voters’ intense distrust of Beijing, stepping up measures to “contain” China’s influence. Taipei recently drafted a national security law that would make it a punishable offense to spread “political propaganda” for China.
As in Europe, Taiwanese feel highly ambivalent about mainland China: When China signifies economic opportunities, most Taiwanese are 23 Million People on a Canoe Why Europe should care about Taiwan’s future “pro-China”; when China represents oppression and potential invasion, most Taiwanese are “anti-China”. The problem is that China resembles both. The result is a deep division among Taiwanese extending far beyond the political and economic spheres.
Given the circumstances under which Taiwan emerged and evolved, its evolution into an authentic democracy represents an extraordinary achievement. It was without a revolution that the KMT, which had ruled Taiwan for more than 40 years, put an end to martial law and, whether convinced or compelled to act, opened the country’s political system to sharing power. Without bloodshed, dissidents who had once sat in jails became legislators and political leaders. Since the lifting of martial law 1987, power has changed hands fairly and orderly, following the results of each election.
Taiwan has been a quiet democracy for more than thirty years, nearly as long as the four decades during which it has been isolated by the international community. The US does not formally recognize Taiwan but, as with Germany, acts as the country’s security guarantor. While Washington has indicated that arms sales to Taiwan will become more of a routine, China has devised a routine of its own by holding long-range combat drills and ordering its fighter jets to cross the maritime line.
However, the threat to Taiwanese democracy is twofold. The obvious one comes from China, and to a large extent lies beyond Taipei’s control. The less obvious threat is home-made, as the looming China threat tempts domestic politicians to mobilize the population’s collective fear to foment a tribal nationalism. Their success would pose a real danger to Taiwan’s democratic institutions.
Those who applaud Taiwanese democracy for the sole purpose of criticizing China make me nervous. Generations of Taiwanese fought and ultimately achieved a democracy – it is simply too precious for other people’s agendas, internal or external.
Germany has a unique history: its people have experienced first-hand how easily democratic institutions may fall apart when not meticulously guarded. Having received democracy as a gift following World War II and struggled to regain their freedom from Communist rule, Germans are in a unique position to understand both the predicament as well as the aspirations of the Taiwanese. Moral courage often comes from past sufferings. As a leading EU member state, Germany has a responsibility to maximize its own efforts as well as to influence others’ efforts for world peace.
But why should the world care about the future of Taiwan? First of all, save the Taiwan model, the world might have to accept the claim that democracy and Confucianism are incompatible, and that a communist China presents the only logical and inevitable path to modernity. Secondly, Taiwan deserves respect on its own merits. True, if China were an aircraft carrier, Taiwan would be a lone canoe. But standing on this canoe are 23 million people aspiring for a life with liberty and dignity. If it were an EU member, Taiwan would be the 7th largest of the Union’s 28 member-states (27 after Brexit), smaller than Poland but larger than the Netherlands or Belgium, with a developed economy ranking 22nd in the world by purchasing power parity. Do we really want to return to a world in which it is imaginable that countries such as Poland or the Netherlands should be deprived of their autonomy to determine their own way of life and political system?

【尼可拉斯效應】轉念的巨大力量,帶起無限善的循環~
#甚至可以說是奇蹟
#也譯作尼古拉斯效應
一般人,如果是自己的小孩,無故被歹徒搶殺死亡,做父母的,肯定會憤恨一輩子!也可能是內疚自責,永遠走不出悲痛的陰影。
但是,這對父母,卻做了很不一樣的選擇,他們選擇為腦死的孩子捐出器官!
而這捐贈器官的地方,並不是他們自己的國家,而是在旅途中發生不幸的地方(意大利),一個本來他們永遠也不會想要再來的悲傷之地!受贈者不僅僅和他們是非親非故,而是說著不同的語言的外國人!
他們這樣的轉念與大愛,真的就是「化悲憤為力量」,而這股神奇的力量更是排山倒海而來,引起了超級巨大的效應,不只巨大而且深遠,稱為
#尼可拉斯效應,而尼可拉斯Nicholas就是這位小男孩的名字!
小男孩的捐贈不僅僅救了五位生命垂危的人(四位少年),還讓兩位失明的大人重見光明!幫助了七個家庭!
可是這份「化悲憤為力量」的效應,遠不只如此!他們不只原諒了意大利這個國家,還幫助了他們的國民,這份愛,讓意大利人很感動!
#發生了這些不可思議的事:
1.意大利在接下來的十年,器官捐贈人數翻了三倍!世界上沒有任何國家達到這種成長率!
2.意大利全國的廣場和街道(50個)、公園和兒童遊樂場(27座)、學校(27所)、橋樑腳踏車道、紀念碑和橋樑等(16座)紛紛以尼可拉斯的名字命名(Nicholas Green)
#總計超過120個!(見地圖的地標)
3.一位接受肝臟移植的少女,生下的小男嬰,也取名尼可拉斯!父母覺得尼可拉斯是以另一種形式在這世界上延續著生命!往後意大利人以尼可拉斯為孩子命名的,更是不計其數!意大利文的尼可拉斯拼法是Nicolas,但是,他們取的卻是這位小英雄名字的美式拼法Nicholas.
4.父母接受世界各地的媒體採訪(包括大愛台),他們寫的文章還登上美國醫學期刊JAMA. 1995;273(22):1732 ,並寫成書The Nicholas Effect(中文翻譯「 尼古拉斯的禮物」),還被拍成電視電影"Nicholas' Gift”。
5.世界移植冬運會裡,還有尼可拉斯杯的競賽項目
6.尼可拉斯的故事,也鼓舞了許許多多的人,讓他們的人生轉向更正面、更積極的面向,同時樂於行善,他們也紛紛寫信給尼克拉斯的父母告訴他們,尼可拉斯如何的影響及改變他們。
7.目前有一個以尼可拉斯命名的基金會
#接受無法改變的悲劇結果_昇華對親人的愛,轉念而化為大愛,讓愛在更多的人身上延續。
而「尼可拉斯效應」廣義來說,就是「從悲劇中浮現出來的所有美好事物」’Everything good that emerged from the tragedy’
我知道器官捐贈的力量很大,但是從來都不知道,原來可以這麼巨大!
歡迎分享~
後記:感謝有網友分享和尼可拉斯的父親合照。
