From China Post 翻譯: Sinclair (雖然在下翻譯的不盡完美，但翻譯也是需要一點時間，請勿任意轉載，謝謝^^想順便學英文的大大可以看英文版的，我也提供了全文翻譯) TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Acclaimed(受人讚揚的)Taiwanese singer A-mei awarded(授與) Tuesday ten indigenous(原民的) students with scholarships(獎學金) to cover tuition fees(學費) for the upcoming(即將到來的) school year and further(進一步地) committed(承諾) at providing(提供) for talented(有才能的) indigenous students who are otherwise deprived(貧困的；被剝奪的) due to poverty(貧窮). In addition, the Mandopop(華語流行樂) star — a colloquial(口語的) abbreviation (縮寫) for artists(藝術工作者) singing “Mandarin(華語的) popular music” — donated(捐贈) NT$500,000 to Christian(基督徒的) relief(救濟) organization(組織) World Vision Taiwan, for a new scholarship fund(基金), titled(命名) the Dream Fulfillment Scholarship Project(圓夢獎學金計畫). The scholarship winners were selected(挑選) from among 40,000 of World Vision's sponsored(贊助的) children in Taiwan based on their discovered talents or exceptional(卓越的) academic(學術) performance(表現). “Everyone has a dream,” said A-mei during the inaugural(開始的；就任的) press conference(記者會). “Many children have talents that are recognized(被賞識) by their teachers, or they have exceptional grades. Unfortunately(不幸地), those talents are so often wasted(浪費) simply(只是) because the children lack(缺乏) the resources(資源) to keep on nurturing(滋養；使學習更多) them,” she added(補充說明). Now, with the help of the Dream Fulfillment Scholarship Project, these children are awarded a chance(機會) to become specialized(專業的) in their talents and to have their dreams come true(實現), she pointed out(指出). A-mei is also known as(以..而知名) Chang Hui-mei and her aboriginal(原住民的) name Gulilai Amit (A-mit). Born into the Puyuma tribe(部落) and a family with nine siblings(兄弟姊妹) in a remote(偏遠的) village in Taiwan, she encountered(遇見；邂逅) many of the same challenges(挑戰) that the awardees (受獎者) face(面對；遇到) every day. Her hard work and magnetic(有磁性的；有吸引力的) personality(特質) allowed(允許) her to rise(出人頭地) above these humble(卑微的) beginnings and to the top of the Mandopop charts in 1996. For the next ten years it has been a full(完整的) schedule of star-studded(充滿巨星風采的) concerts and TV appearances(出現) making her the undisputed(無庸置疑的) queen of Taiwan's music scene. Despite(儘管) this celebrity(名人) status(社會地位), A-mei has never been ashamed of(以...為恥) her roots(根本) or her upbringing(教養), appearing(出現) in numerous(無數的) TV programs(節目) showing her return to her native(原住民的) village and the life of Taiwan's aboriginal people. “Whenever I participate in(參加) charity events(慈善活動), I always wonder(想...) if(是否) there is a most direct(直接的) and targeted(指標的) way of helping indigenous children. This idea and dream had already originated(起源) several years ago,” she remarked(評論；表示). “I will begin to do everything within my power,” A-mei went on(繼續說道). “We will start slow, and perhaps in the future we can do something that is more, and greater — this will be a continuous(連續的) process(過程).” Ever since(自此之後) she came into contact(和...有接觸) with World Vision after the 9/21 earthquake in 1999, A-mei has been inspired(受啟發) by the love and passion she sees within the organization. She has since participated in various(很多的) activities(活動) sponsored by World Vision, such as becoming the spokesperson(發言人；代言人) of the 16th 30-Hour Famine(飢餓)_ and making a trip to visit refugees(難民) living in the dangerous(危險的) conditions(條件) of Sudan. (翻譯) 受人讚揚的台灣歌手阿妹星期二時給予十位原住民學童獎學金，讓他們能夠支付下學年的學費，她並進一步承諾會為這些有能力但卻因貧窮而貧乏的學童提供獎學金。此外，這位華語巨星-一種對於演唱華語流行音樂的藝術工作者的口語簡稱(指Mandopop)-為了成立一個新的獎學金基金[圓夢獎學金計畫]捐贈了五十萬元給基督救濟組織-台灣區世界展望會。這些受獎的學生因為被發現的才能或卓越的學術表現，而被從四萬名受世界展望會的台灣孩童中選出來。在計畫成立記者會上，阿妹說:[每個人都有一個夢想。] 她補充說明說: [很多孩子有著被老師賞識的才能，或是有卓越的成績。但不幸地, 這些才能卻只是因為他們缺乏資源來學習更多東西而被浪費掉了。] 她指出: [現在，有了圓夢獎學金計畫的幫助，這些孩童有機會可以在他們有天份的領域變的更專業，並且使他們的夢想實現。] 阿妹也以張惠妹或是她原住民的名字古歷來˙阿密特而聞名，生在台灣偏遠村莊的普攸瑪部落裡，一個有著九個兄弟姊妹的家庭中，她也遇到很多同樣這些受獎學童每天會遇到的難題挑戰. 她的努力和有吸引力的特質使她從卑微的出身中出人頭地，並成為1996年華語界的閃亮巨星。在接下來的十年中無數場展現她巨星風采的演唱會還有在電視節目上的出現使她成為台灣音樂界中無庸置疑的天后出現在拍攝阿妹回到原民部落回歸原民生活的各大節目中，儘管阿妹身為名人，卻從來都不以她的根本和教養(育)為恥。她說: [每當我參加慈善活動時,我總是在想,是不是有更直接且指標性可以用來幫助原民孩童的方法. 這個想法和夢想好幾年前就已經在構想了.] 阿妹繼續說到: [我們會慢慢的開始做，也許在將來我們可以做更多也更棒的事。這是一個長時間的累積過程.] 阿妹在1999年的921大地震受到她在組織內所見的愛與熱情啟發後，她就開始和世界展望會有所接觸。從那之後，阿妹就一直參加很多世界展望會贊助的活動，像是成為第十六屆飢餓三十的代言人，並前往探訪住在蘇丹危險惡劣環境的難民們。 -------------------------------------------- 今年上班時看到學生買了China Post 同事就跟我說有阿妹我就馬上跑去買了想說打上來跟大家分享花了快一小時終於打完了整個快累翻有些要翻的很中文的話感覺會跟英文差很多有錯還歡迎指教^^ 看太多台灣品質差的娛樂新聞偶爾要看看這些有意義一點的新聞~ 阿妹真棒讓我對她這麼死心踏地不是沒有原因的XD -- 長大是一段不斷過濾夢想的旅程 http://www.wretch.cc/blog/qleaves727 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 218.164.98.56
