今天看到猴硐礦業文史工作室的毛振飛談礦工工作的歷史，非常受感動。希望有空的人上網站去看看。生長在南部的我，對於基隆附近像金山、萬里、瑞芳等地並不熟悉，今年五月曾經與太太兩度開車到哪裏去走，看海山相遇的美景，心曠神怡，那知那地方深埋地底下的礦坑，埋藏的有那麽多的心酸故事。我們也經過猴硐，只覺得這個地名很特別。如果知道那裏有文史工作室，那真的應該進去看看。小時知道南部人稱一天為“一日”，而聽説北部人一日是“兩工”。近年來台灣普遍不再使用”日“，而代以”工“，南北都以”一工“作爲”一日“。殊不知幾十年前，一個人一天常常是要做”兩工“，這樣才能賺夠錢來養家糊口，也就是要做16小時。特別是像礦工，那種辛勞非常難以想象。
吳清友先生很喜歡講的一個故事，關於他收藏的一隻兔子。那是前輩雕塑家陳夏雨的作品，吳先生一看就買了下來，然後和老先生聊起那隻兔子帶有一份神秘的吸引力。陳夏雨就告訴他這隻兔子創作的過程。他家裡養兔子，有一天不知道為什麼，兔子被放到桌上的一個竹米篩上。傳統的米篩底下是圓弧形的，沒辦法平放，兔子感覺到腳下如此不安，當然很驚慌。兔子先是跑來跑去，而牠愈跑米篩就動得愈厲害。過了好一段時間，兔子慢慢定下來，不跑了，然後牠換了幾個位置，也換了幾種姿勢，找到能讓自己安安靜靜待著的地方，陳夏雨就捕捉了兔子那時候的神態，雕成了藝術品。
這個故事最能彰顯吳先生的精神。他最在意的，是如何透過空間的影響，讓人安靜下來。並不是逃避躲開，什麼都不管、什麼事都不做，而是像那隻兔子般，認知了自己處在動盪的情況中，卻能找出一個空間、一個角落，在那裡覺得自己可以自在，可以安定心情。
有一段時間吳先生常常坐在誠品敦南店二樓咖啡廳裡，一定是選擇背靠著窗的座位，這樣他可以看見從樓梯或電梯上上下下進出書店的人。那是他最享受的時刻，他看到不一樣的人、各式各樣的人從外面走進他自己打造的書店裡，書店在他們身上產生的效果。簡而言之，不管什麼樣的人，不管原先是什麼狀態，進來之後都會比之前變得多自在一些、多安穩一些。是的，他在享受自己所創造的。
吳清友為什麼要開書店？和他相識那麼多年，我想我可以有把握的說他其實並不是一個熱清、飢渴的讀者，他愛書勝過於他愛讀書。這非但無礙於他開書店，反而使他成為一個更成功的書店經營者。他想開書店，因為他覺得、他確知書的神奇作用，書可以讓人安靜下來，尤其是被書包圍，在有很多書的空間裡，人就吵鬧不起來，人就不會那麼浮躁了。
安靜下來才能讀書，而一家擺滿書的書店讓人覺得自己總該能找到想讀的書吧！大部分開書店的人，都是像我這種愛讀書的人，書店對他們來說是服務書的管道，是為了要將書賣出去。然而容我誠實地說，認識吳先生愈久我愈了解他的心態是倒過來的，不是書店服務書，而是書服務書店，必須有書，有很多書，才能製造出書店的氣氛效果，才能讓人自在、讓人安心。
吳先生常說他坐在二樓咖啡廳看什麼？看翹課的學生進到書店、看推娃娃車的媽媽進書店、看外面下雨了躲雨的人進書店．．．他們沒有別的地方可以去，一個免費、舒服，最重要，不歧視他們的地方可以去。
書店是公平的。應該說書店的空間、書店所提供的自在安穩是公平的，對買十本書、買一本書、甚至不買書的人都一視同仁。至少這是吳先生的理念，也是他創造書店的目的。他很慷慨將打造出來的空間提供給所有的人，他忍不住想要在現場親眼目睹書店的效果，看到一個一個的人進到誠品，身體中有一部份的素質被叫喚出來，就像那隻將自己的舒服、自在追求在角落裡叫喚出來的兔子一樣。
在生病之後，吳先生的生命模式清楚地轉成了to be，而誠品書店就是定義他是什麼的創造。在誠品書店之前有誠建公司，誠品書店之後也有誠品生活，都是吳清友創辦經營的，然而誠建、誠生都無法代表吳清友，取消了誠品書店就不是吳清友了。
誠品信義店熄燈，我倒是沒有太多感傷。人亡政息，信義店是吳清友的誠品書店，南西店、裕隆城當然要轉變為吳旻潔的誠品書店。我比較在意的，是吳先生這份to be而非to have的生命選擇應該刺激、啟發更多年輕人，讓他們有自己世代的創造，去慷慨分享。

ON THE MOVE
Autobiography Of Oliver Sacks
Location : Annecy, France
“我們都是我們的成長、我們的文化、我們的時代的產物”
「在英國，一個人一開口就被分類（工人階級、中產階級、上層階級，等等）；一個人不能與不同階級的人混在一起，一個人不自在——這種制度，如果隱含的，儘管如此，它仍然像印度的種姓制度一樣嚴格、不可逾越”
「人類是傑出的說故事的生物。我們將世界組織成一系列故事。那麼，如果一個人無法理解故事或推測人類意圖，他如何能理解他混亂的環境呢？在所有人類英雄事蹟的編年史中，我當人們因生活的不幸而失去了我們共同天性的基本屬性時，他們努力尋找和實施補償，沒有什麼主題比這種補償更令人崇高了。”
“他死在家裡的圖書館裡，周圍都是他喜愛的書。”
「現在一定要旅行——如果你有時間的話。但是要以正確的方式旅行，就像我旅行的方式一樣。我總是在閱讀和思考一個地方的歷史和地理。我從這些方面來看待它的人民，將其置於時間和空間的社會框架。以草原為例，如果你不了解自耕農的傳奇故事、不同時期法律和宗教的影響、經濟問題、溝通困難，那麼你去這些地方就是浪費時間，以及連續礦物發現的影響。”
「我再也沒有服用過安非他命——儘管有時對它們有強烈的渴望（癮君子或酗酒者的大腦會終生改變；回歸的可能性、誘惑永遠不會消失）。”
「患者是真實的、常常充滿熱情的人，他們面臨著真正的問題，有時甚至是痛苦的選擇。這不僅僅是診斷和治療的問題；可能會出現更嚴重的問題——關於生活品質以及生活是否健康的問題。在某些情況下甚至值得生活。”
奧利佛‧薩克斯 (Oliver Sacks) 是一位著名的神經學家和作家，他深入研究人類思維的複雜性，將科學見解與富有同情心的故事敘述相結合，以闡明神經系統疾病的複雜性。

At 27, the poet Rainier Maria Rilke struck up a correspondence with a 19-year-old military cadet named Franz Xaver Kappus, and the letters he wrote were later compiled into the book “Letters to a Young Poet.” In them, Rilke advises Kappus: “Ask yourself, in your night’s quietest moment, Do I have to write? Dig deep down into yourself for the answer.” But, until recently, these letters were one-sided. In 2017, the German scholar Erich Unglaub discovered Kappus’s letters in the Rilke family archive.

【胡適談聖經翻譯】
胡適是個無神論者，但他也是當時中國第二大的《聖經》收藏家。1937年3月17日在北平美華聖經會大樓舉行《聖經》展覽會，展出不同語言、方言、年代、版本的《聖經》，並由胡適演講「《聖經》與文學之關係」。胡適當天的演講從《聖經》翻譯出發，除略述《聖經》翻譯源流之外，更提出了對未來《聖經》翻譯的展望。
1937年3月18日《華北日報》對此事有詳細的報導（因為報導版面過長，所以附圖版面有經過調整）：
由利瑪竇迄今三百年來，《聖經》展覽此尚為第一次，允足稱貴，蓋僅就收藏興趣一點言之，對此「天下奇書」之搜羅展覽，已足令人心快。惟「聖經與文學」一題，周作人先生曾於十四年前《小說日報》上著論發揮，既詳且盡，可以參看。今日祇略言其宗教經典之繙譯，對於中國之文學影響及本人對於《聖經》之數點希望而已。
在我國歷史上大規模之從事繙譯外國文字，約有二次：二次且皆為受宗教信仰之啟發。一為第一至第十世紀之九百年來繙譯佛家書籍之努力，成書二千種，現仍為人諷誦者尚有《華嚴經》、《法華經》、《維摩詰》等二十餘種。其影響於中國文學者則（一）介紹國人創作上之新材料，新形式。（二）引起創作家之想像力，擴大文學描寫之範圍。此皆中國文學篇所缺乏者。第二次則為近世紀來之西洋書籍之大批繙譯，而此中最足稱述者為「《聖經》」之繙譯。其故亦有二。（一）因繙譯《聖經》者之具有宗教的虔誠嚴肅態度，忠實於繙譯，及《聖經》本身之優美故譯本成為一種「直譯的模範作品」（Model literal translation）簡明可愛，由以官話譯本中「〈福音〉」（Gospels）及「〈舊約〉」（Old Testment）中〈詩篇〉等部，堪稱為優美之文學作品，影響於中國創作家及譯著家者甚多。（二）則為中文聖經之於中國方言方面的供献。中國方言甚多，初無有文字之形式記載，有方言《聖經》之譒譯後，乃給中國多種方言以文學上之價值，對於研究語言學、語音學、民俗學上，有莫大之裨益。
三點希望:
惟中文之譒譯聖經，尚有為能如吾人希望之極者，簡言之有三，亦即余對《聖經》譒譯之希望：（一）譯語尚未能完全近代化。蓋近年中國語言，變化甚速，而《聖經》譯語尚多守舊者，故仍須繼續新譯，以合時代。（二）宗教的守舊拘謹精神，致《聖經》尚未採用新式標點、排列、形式，以更發揮其文學的趣味。─Moulton之「《近代讀本的聖經》」則清新可喜─如〈雜歌〉、〈詩篇〉、〈箴言〉、〈約伯記〉，皆最美之文學，而未能以新形式體裁表達之。（三）將《聖經》作為文學看，注重「科學的《聖經》學」，提倡收藏、批評、校刊、訓詁，諸工作，並編著用作參考之辭典類書，以備閱者之方便檢閱。果能如此，則影響中國文學喚起更多讀者，必更廣大也云云。
Israel’s Military Says 15 Soldiers Have Been Killed in Gaza in 72 Hours
The deaths are a heavy blow for a country long averse to military casualties. Fighting appeared to intensify despite growing calls for a cease-fire.
In Campus Protests Over Gaza, Echoes of Outcry Over Vietnam
The war in Vietnam ignited a protest movement that helped define a generation. Is the war between Israel and Hamas doing the same thing?
Robert M. Solow 1924~2023, Groundbreaking Economist and Nobelist, Dies at 99.
In Campus Protests Over Gaza, Echoes of Outcry Over Vietnam
The war in Vietnam ignited a protest movement that helped define a generation. Is the war between Israel and Hamas doing the same thing?
Robert M. Solow 1924~2023, Groundbreaking Economist and Nobelist, Dies at 99.So what did explain growth? Entrepreneurs? Geography? Legal institutions? Something else?
he singled out technological progress (the ability of society to translate inputs of capital and labor into outputs of goods and services)
“I discovered to my great surprise that the main source of growth was not capital investment but technological change,”
Specifically, he estimated that technical progress accounted for a surprising 80 percent of 20th-century American growth. He later pointed to Silicon Valley as a validation of his theory.
Beyond the impact of his own research, Professor Solow helped launch the careers of a stunning number of future superstar economists, including four Nobel laureates: Peter Diamond, Joseph E. Stiglitz, William D. Nordhaus and George A. Akerlof. “My pride and joy,” Professor Solow said.
“All his former students idolize him — all, with no exceptions.”
“I was given the office next to Paul Samuelson’s,” he recounted in the publication Les Prix Nobel. “Thus began what is now almost 40 years of almost daily conversations about economics, politics, our children, cabbages and kings.”
The Solow growth model, propounded in his book “A Contribution to the Theory of Economic Growth,” in 1956, and its empirical follow-up, “Technical Change and the Aggregate Production Function,” published in 1957, made his reputation while he was in his early 30s and led in due course to the Clark Medal and the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.
he reveals a fundamental difficulty with the role of philosopher-king. It is too damn hard.
the living conditions of low-wage workers were better in Europe because of a more generous social-safety net there, along with rules that provided workers with greater bargaining power.
Robert M. Solow, Groundbreaking Economist and Nobelist, Dies at 99
His elegant work established that the main determinant of economic growth was technology, not growing capital and labor.
O Holy Night
O holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary soul rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine
Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name
