    EP39【說】芋粿巧Some connections do not need memories. |我沒見過我爸爸的爸爸,但愛吃的食物居然一樣…

    Have you ever found out that you like the same food as someone in your family? 你有沒有曾經發現,你和家裡的某一個人喜歡吃一樣的食物? Maybe it is a food that you have eaten since you were a child. 也許那是一種你從小就很喜歡吃的食物。 For me, that food is taro rice cake, or what we call “Yù-guǒ-qiǎo” in Taiwan. 對我來說,那個食物就是芋粿巧,也就是我們台灣所說的芋粿巧。 Taro rice cake is a traditional food found in Taiwan and other areas where Minnan culture has developed. 芋粿巧是一種傳統食物,在台灣以及其他閩南文化發展的地區都可以找到。 It is mainly made from taro and rice, and is usually eaten after being steamed. 它主要以芋頭和米製的材料製作,通常蒸熟之後食用。 The taro gives it a special smell and a soft but slightly chewy texture. 芋頭讓它帶有特殊的香氣,也讓它吃起來柔軟又帶一點Q彈的口感。 Many people enjoy it as a traditional snack, but it can also be seen during traditional festivals and religious ceremonies. 很多人把它當成傳統點心,但它也常出現在傳統節慶與祭祀活動中。 Especially during the Ghost Festival, many Taiwanese people are particularly familiar with taro cakes. 尤其到了中元節,很多台灣人都會對芋粿巧感到特別熟悉。 Have you ever looked at the shape of a taro rice cake and wondered why it looks like that? 你有沒有注意過芋粿巧的形狀,想過它為什麼長成那個樣子? Its curved shape is often compared with a traditional divination block called a moon block, or jiaobei. 它彎曲的形狀常被拿來和傳統求神問卜時使用的筊杯相比。 芋粿巧形狀似「筊杯」,是民間信仰求神問卜儀式中的器具,因此經常出現在祭拜宗教儀禮。 The word “khiau” in Taiwanese can also describe something that is curved. 而「巧」這個音在台語裡,也有彎曲的意思。 This is one reason why the name and shape of this food are both interesting. 所以這個食物的名字和形狀,其實都很有意思。 It is not just a piece of food; it also carries some traditional culture. 它不只是一塊食物,也承載了一些傳統文化。 But there is another reason why taro rice cake is special to me. 但是,芋粿巧對我來說還有另外一個特別的原因。 I have always liked eating it. 我一直都很喜歡吃芋粿巧。 One day, my grandmother told me something that I had never known before. 有一天,我阿媽告訴我一件我以前從來不知道的事情。 She told me that my grandfather also loved taro rice cake. 她告訴我,我阿公也很喜歡吃芋粿巧。 I never had the chance to meet my grandfather.He passed away before I was born. 我從來沒有機會見過我的祖父。他在我出生以前就已經過世了。 So I never sat next to him and ate together. 所以我從來沒有坐在他身邊一起吃飯。 I have never heard him say that he likes to eat taro cakes. 我也從來沒有親耳聽過他說自己喜歡吃芋粿巧。 But many years later, I found out that we both loved the same food. 可是很多年之後,我卻發現,我們竟然都喜歡同一種食物。 That made me wonder if this could be connected to genetics. 這讓我開始想,這件事情會不會和遺傳有關? 總不可能是託夢吧.哈哈哈哈 I never got to meet my grandfather. 我從來沒有機會見過我的爸爸的爸爸。 But I found out that we both loved the same food. 但我後來發現,我們都喜歡同一種食物。 Maybe I will never know exactly why. 也許我永遠不會知道真正的原因。 But I think I am happy that I found this little connection. 但我想,我很開心自己找到了這個小小的連結。 Because sometimes, family is not only about the memories we share. 因為有時候,家人之間的連結,不只是我們共同擁有的回憶。 Sometimes, it is also about the little things that quietly stay with us. 有時候,它也存在於那些安靜留在我們身上的小事情裡。 Maybe my grandfather and I simply had similar taste. 也許我和阿公只是剛好有相似的口味。 Maybe our genes gave us some similar preferences. 也許我們的基因讓我們擁有一些相似的偏好。 Or maybe it is simply a beautiful coincidence. 又或者,這就只是一個很美好的巧合。 I do not know the exact answer. 我不知道真正的答案是什麼。 Because the interesting part is not whether a gene made me love taro rice cake. 因為真正有趣的地方,並不是某一個基因到底有沒有讓我喜歡芋粿巧。 The interesting part is that someone I never met seems to appear in my life through something so small. 真正有趣的是,一個我從來沒有見過的人,竟然會透過這麼微小的一件事情,出現在我的生命裡。 【今日單字】 gene 基因 Eye color is passed down through genes from parents.(眼睛的顏色是透過基因從父母遺傳下來的。) -- 真心聽學英文+中文+台語也可以 聽我亂聊講廢話暫時忘卻人生苦惱的也來   喜歡的話,記得訂閱、收聽、分享、留言~ 您的多多收聽及分享,會讓我更有動力陪你從外太空說到土地公~ #生活英文 #台語 #芋粿巧 #基因遺傳 #農曆七月祭祖 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

    EP37【說】七夕拜月老|如果月老是一份真實存在的職業,你願意應徵嗎?

    For many people, Qixi Festival is also a good time to visit Yue Lao and pray for love. 對很多人來說,七夕也是去拜月老、祈求好姻緣的時候。 In traditional Chinese culture, Yue Lao is believed to be the god who brings people together. 在傳統文化裡,月老被認為是掌管姻緣、牽起人與人之間緣分的神明。 The red thread is often used as a symbol of the connection between two people. 紅線則常常被用來象徵兩個人之間的緣分與連結。 When people visit Yue Lao, they usually hope to meet someone they can love and share their lives with. 人們去拜月老時,通常都希望遇到一個可以相愛、一起生活的人。 They hope to find a good relationship and live happily ever after. 他們希望找到一段好的感情,最後能夠終成眷屬。 Of course, I also hope everyone who visits Yue Lao this year can find their special someone. 當然,我也希望今年去拜月老的每一個人,都能找到自己的有情人。 But this year, I suddenly had a strange idea. 但是今年,我突然想到一個很奇怪的問題。 What if Yue Lao were a real job? 如果月老是一份真實存在的工作呢? Would you want to apply for this job? 你會想要應徵這份工作嗎? Imagine that Yue Lao works actually in a modern company. 想像一下,月老現在真的在一間現代公司上班。 His job might be much harder than we imagine. 他的工作可能比我們想像中還要辛苦。 He may have to help people find suitable partners every day. 他可能每天都要幫很多人尋找適合的對象。 He may also have to manage thousands or even millions of red threads. 他可能還要管理成千上萬,甚至數不清的紅線。 If Yue Lao really worked in a modern company, I think he would also need a customer service department. 如果月老真的在現代公司工作,我想他應該還需要一個客服部門。 People might call and ask, “Can I check the progress of my relationship?” 人們可能會打電話問:「請問可以查詢一下我的姻緣進度嗎?」 Someone might say, “I visited Yue Lao last year, but I still have no good news.” 有人可能會說:「我去年就來拜月老了,但是到現在還是沒有好消息。」 Another person might ask, “Why did my friend find someone so quickly?” 另外一個人可能會問:「為什麼我的朋友這麼快就遇到對象了?」 Someone might even ask, “Can I change partners?” 甚至有人可能會問:「這個對象可以換一個嗎?」 I think Yue Lao 's customer service department would be extremely busy. 我想月老的客服部門應該會非常忙。 I suddenly feel a little sorry for Yue Lao. 我突然覺得月老好像有一點可憐。 We always want to know why our wishes haven’t come true yet. 我們總是想知道,為什麼自己的願望到現在還沒有實現。 We hope to meet the right person soon. 我們希望可以趕快遇到對的人。 But what if Yue Lao has already worked incredibly hard? 可是,如果月老其實已經非常努力工作了呢? Perhaps we only see the result and forget the progress. 也許我們只看到了結果,卻忘記了進步(這裡有小口誤)。 When we pray to Yue Lao, we often hope to meet someone who understands us. 我們拜月老的時候,常常希望遇到一個懂我們的人。 We hope to meet someone who respects and cares about us. 我們希望遇到一個尊重我們、在乎我們的人。 But maybe we should also ask ourselves a question. 但是,也許我們也可以問自己一個問題。 Are we also willing to become that kind of person? 我們自己是不是也願意成為那樣的人? We may want a good relationship, but we should also learn how to build a good relationship. 我們可能都想要一段好的感情,但我們也要學習如何建立一段好的關係。 We shouldn't always demand that others understand us while being unwilling to understand others. 我們不應該總是要求別人理解自己,卻不願意理解別人。 Maybe the good connection that Yue Lao gives us needs our own warmth to make it happen. 也許月老幫我們牽來的好緣分,也需要我們自己的溫暖,才能真正開始。 So, this Qixi Festival, I will still visit Yue Lao. 所以,今年七夕,我還是會繼續去拜月老。 Of course, I hope that one day I can meet my Mr.Right. 當然,我還是希望有一天可以遇到自己的有情人。 I hope we can understand and cherish each other, and stay together. 我希望我們可以互相理解、互相珍惜,最後一起走下去。 I will not give up just because the answer has not appeared yet. 我不會因為答案還沒有出現,就輕易放棄。 After all, maybe Yue Lao is just very busy. 畢竟,也許月老真的只是太忙了。 Because if all the Yue Laos suddenly went on strike, we might be the ones who suffer. 因為如果所有的月老突然集體罷工,最後吃虧的好像還是我們。 Through this imaginary job called Yue Lao, we can learn to see the people who are working hard around us every day. 透過月老這份虛構的工作,我們也能重新看見,那些每天在我們身邊努力工作的人。 Maybe a little more patience can make someone’s day better. 也許多一點耐心,就能讓某一個人的一天變得更好。 Maybe a little kindness can create a new connection. 也許多一點善意,就能創造一段新的緣分。 And maybe that is where a good relationship really begins. 而也許,一段好的關係,就是從這裡開始的。 -- 【今日單字】 make allowance for體諒、顧及 Please make allowance for her lack of experience.(請原諒她缺乏經驗。) -- 真心聽學英文+中文+台語也可以 聽我亂聊講廢話暫時忘卻人生苦惱的也來   喜歡的話,記得訂閱、收聽、分享、留言~ 您的多多收聽及分享,會讓我更有動力陪你從外太空說到土地公~ #生活英文 #台語 #拜月老 #七夕 #紅線牽姻緣 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
