Or does your family have other ways of showing respect to ancestors?)讓我們來聽聽其他小朋友他們家要怎麼度過清明節。(Let's hear how other children's families will spend Tomb-Sweeping Day.) Jasper：清明時節雨紛紛，路上行人欲斷魂…。(During the days around Tomb Sweeping Day, it rains non-stop. Those peoplewalking on the road are very sad.) Emma：Jasper，你在唸什麼啊？( What are you reading?) Jasper：清明節快到了，我忽然想起Bear老師教過的那首詩「清明」。(Tomb Sweeping Day is coming soon, and I suddenly remembered the poem "Qingming" taught by Teacher Bear.) Emma：喔~我記得那首詩…。(Oh~ I remember that poem….)我懂那種「欲斷魂」的感覺。(I know the feeling of "very sad ".) Jasper：怎麼了？(What's wrong?) Emma：我奶奶幾年前去世了。(My grandma passed away a few years ago.)每次我們去祭拜她的時候，都很傷心，尤其是爺爺。(Every time we go to pay our respects, we feel very sad, especially my grandpa.) Jasper：我懂，爸爸每年帶我們去掃墓的時候，心情也都很沉重。(I understand. Every year when my father takes us to visit the family grave, he feels very heavy-hearted.)不過我們總是一邊掃墓一邊聊起以前的事，就好像爺爺奶奶還跟我們在一起一樣。(But we always talk about the past while sweeping graves, and it’s as if our grandparents are still with us.) Emma：我們家不是去掃墓，我們把奶奶的骨灰放在靈骨塔裡。(Our family doesn’t visit a grave. We placed grandma’s ashes in the columbarium.)爺爺說，他希望將來我們把他的骨灰放在奶奶旁邊。(Grandpa said he hopes we will place his ashes next to grandma in the future.) Jasper：所以你沒掃過墓？(So you never visited a grave?) Emma：嗯~爸爸說，奶奶生前就交代了不要土葬，要火葬。(Well, Dad said that when grandma was alive, she told him she preferred cremation to burial.)一方面土地真的太貴了，一方面，她覺得放在靈骨塔裡比較方便家人祭拜。(For one thing, land is really too expensive, and she felt it was easier for family members to worship in the columbarium.) Jasper：我爸媽也這麼說，(My parents said the same thing.)他們還說不想被放在靈骨塔裡。(And they said they didn’t want to be placed in a columbarium.)所以我爸爸說要樹葬，媽媽說要花葬。他們都說要回歸大自然。(My father said he wanted to be buried under trees and my mother said she wanted to be buried under flowers. They both said they want to return to nature.) Emma：沒想到你父母這麼早就跟你談了這些。(I didn’t expect your parents to talk to you about this so early.) Jasper：嗯~爸爸總是說「人生無常」，(Well, Dad always said, “life is unpredictable”,)早一點把心願說出來比較好。(so it’s better to express your wishes as early as possible.)不過他們每次說這些的時候，我都覺得有點傷心、害怕。(But every time they talk about this, I feel a little sad and scared.) Emma：嗯~我懂，我很怕我愛的人離開我，我也覺得死亡很可怕。(Oh, I understand. I'm afraid that the people I love will leave me, and I also think death is scary.) Jasper：我爸媽總是安慰我不要怕，(My parents always comfort me and tell me not to be afraid.)他們說，就是因為生命總有結束的時候，所以才要把握活著的每一天。(They say that because life will end one day, we should value every moment of life.) Emma：我還是覺得現在想這些太早了，我不要聽。(I still think it’s too early to think about this, and I don’t want to hear it.) Robin：你不要聽什麼？(What don’t you want to hear?) Jasper：Robin，Emma說她不喜歡談死亡這個話題。(Emma’s saying she doesn't like to talk about death.) Robin：我也覺得這個話題對Emma太難了。(I also think this topic is too difficult for Emma.) Emma：為什麼？(Why？) Robin：因為你還是小朋友啊！(Because you are still a kid!) Emma：才不是，(It’s not like that.) 我只是害怕傷心的感覺。(I'm just afraid I’ll feel sad.)而且剛剛Jasper還說他父母死後要樹葬和花葬，聽起來很可怕。(And just now Jasper said that after his parents die, they will be buried under trees or flowers. It sounds very scary.) Robin：哇！你爸媽好酷啊！(Wow! Your parents are so cool!)你呢？你也要跟他們一樣嗎？(And you? Do you want to be like them?) Jasper：Robin！你不要這樣說，我會怕。(Don't say that, I am afraid.) Robin：怕什麼？(What are you afraid of?)你們知道嗎？我不要被埋著，我要海葬！(You know what? I don’t want to be buried, I want my ashes to be scattered in the ocean!)這樣死了以後也能環遊世界。(That way I can travel around the world after I die.) Emma：你不怕死嗎？(Aren't you afraid of death?) Robin：當然怕啊！(Of course I am.)可是我奶奶總是說怕也沒有用，(But my grandma always said that fear is not helpful)所以她鼓勵我好好地想一想要在這一輩子達成哪些目標，(so she encouraged me to think carefully about what goals I want to achieve in this life,)然後努力去完成，這樣要離開世界的那一天才不會後悔。(and then work hard to complete them, so that I won't have regrets when I leave this world.) Jasper：嗯！你奶奶說得很有道理。(What your grandma said makes sense.) Emma：嗯！我現在也比較不怕了。(I’m less afraid now.) Robin：太好了！那~~我們一起努力吧！(Great! Then~~ let’s work hard together!) 小朋友，今天的話題讓你害怕嗎？(Kids, does today’s topic scare you?)其實Bear老師也很怕死亡，(Actually, I am also afraid of dying.)不過，Bear老師現在更怕和心愛的人分開，更怕這輩子一事無成。(However, I am now more afraid of being separated from the one I love, and even more afraid of accomplishing nothing in this life.)但是沒有人能長生不老，我們能怎麼辦呢？(But we can’t live forever, so what can we do?) Bear老師建議你先把每一天都過得充實、快樂，並且珍惜你愛的人，好不好？(I suggest that you live each day to the fullest and be happy, and cherish the ones you love, okay?) 如果，你想鼓勵朋友把握每一天，用英文，你可以怎麼說呢？ “Seize the day！” 直接翻譯的意

An English Picture Book “Busy Spring: Nature Wakes Up”/英文繪本《忙碌的春天─萬物甦醒》 Story/故事：Sean Taylor and Alex Morse Illustrator/插畫家：Cinyee Chiu In the winter time, the garden felt quiet and gray. And it looked like it was sleeping. 冬天的花園給人一種安靜、灰暗的感覺。 而且看起來就像是在睡覺。 Then, one morning, Dad was wearing his sweater with a hole in it. That meant it was a good day for going outside to do gardening 然後，有一天早晨，爸爸穿著一件破了洞的毛衣。 這就代表著那天是去花園做園藝的好日子。 And it was! 確實如此！ I went. So did my little sister Jasmine. 我去了花園， 我的妹妹茉莉也一起去了。 The yard was bright, and birds were singing, hopping, and pecking. 院子裡光線明亮，鳥兒在歌唱、跳躍、啄食。 A big bee flew by in a hurry. Everything smelled like wet earth and sunshine. 一隻大蜜蜂匆匆飛過。一切聞起來像潮濕的泥土和陽光。 “It's warm!” said Jasmine. 「很溫暖！」 茉莉說。 Dad nodded. “It's spring.” 爸爸點點頭。 「春天到了。」 Dad told us he had digging to do, and we could carry things to the compost heap, then help plant carrots. 爸爸告訴我們他得做挖掘工作，我們可以把東西搬到堆肥上，然後幫忙種植胡蘿蔔。 He said, “Let's see where I left the fork.” 他說：「看看我把叉鏟放在哪裡了。」 “Let's see!” said Jasmine. 「我們來找找！」 茉莉說。 She splashed through a puddle. 她跳過一灘水濺起水花。 Birds flew up and continued chattering in the trees. 鳥兒飛了起來，繼續在樹上嘰嘰喳喳地叫著。 “The birds are all busy!” I said. 「鳥兒們都很忙！」 我說。 Dad told us, “Everything's busy. The plants are busy. The animals are busy. Spring's a busy time.” 爸爸告訴我們：「一切都很忙。 植物很忙。 動物們很忙。 春天是個忙碌的季節。」 Jasmine shouted, “Busy spring!” 茉莉大喊：「忙碌的春天！」 Dad brushed his hand through flowers as tall as Jasmine. 爸爸用手拂過和茉莉一樣高的花朵。 Bees and bugs and flies zoomed out. 蜜蜂、蟲子和蜉蝣迅速飛了出來。 He told us, “The spring sunlight is nature's alarm clock. Life's waking up. Plants are racing to get more light. Some grow high, and then the wind scatters pollen from their flowers. Some paint themselves brilliant colours, to attract insects.” 他告訴我們：「春天的陽光是大自然的鬧鐘。生命正在甦醒。 植物競爭著得到更多光線。 有些長得很高，然後風就把花粉從花上吹散。有些把自己塗成鮮豔的顏色，以吸引昆蟲。」 Jasmine put her face in some flowers. They made her sneeze! 茉莉把臉埋在一些花裡，讓她打了噴嚏！ “You're not a bumblebee!” I told her, laughing. 「你不是熊蜂！」 我笑著告訴她。 But she ran around going “bzzz…bzzz…bzzzzzz!” 但她卻跑來跑去，發出聲音「嗡嗡…嗡嗡…嗡嗡嗡！」 Jasmine buzzed around the pond. “There are tadpoles!” she shouted. 茉莉在池塘邊嗡嗡叫著。 「有蝌蚪！」 她喊道。 Dad said, “Did you know, tadpoles turn into butterflies?” 爸爸說：「你知道嗎？蝌蚪會變成蝴蝶。」 I told him, “They turn into FROGS!” 我告訴他：「他們變成青蛙！」 “Oh yes,” laughed Dad. 「哦，是的，」爸爸笑著說。 “That’s right! Frogs make too many babies to count. The fastest and luckiest tadpoles grow big and strong. And when they become frogs, you'll hear them croaking spring songs.” 「沒錯！ 青蛙生下多到數不清的寶寶。 最快、最幸運的蝌蚪長得又大又壯。當牠們變成青蛙時，你會聽到牠們呱呱地唱著春天之歌。」 “Can you jump like a frog?” I asked Jasmine. 「你能像青蛙一樣跳嗎？」 我問茉莉。 “No,” she said, “But I can fly like a FLUTTERBYE!” 「不能，」她說，「但我能像蝴蝶一樣飛！」 Jasmine fluttered away and fluttered back. 茉莉飛撲過去又飛撲回來。 Birds swooped, like they were playing too. One stopped on a branch. 鳥兒俯衝而下，就像在玩耍一樣。 其中一隻停在一根樹枝上。 I said, “She's eating a twig!” 我說：「她正在吃一根樹枝！」 “She's not eating it,” said Dad. 「她不是在吃樹枝，」爸爸說。 “There are lots of tasty caterpillars around for her to eat. She's collecting twigs to make a nest. And soon there'll be new born chicks up there.” 「周圍有很多美味的毛毛蟲供她吃。 她正在收集樹枝來築巢。 很快就會有新生的雛鳥在那裡。」 “Cheepy cheepy!” sang Jasmine. “ Cheep cheep cheep!” “啾咇 啾咇！” 茉莉唱著。 「啾啾啾！」 It didn't sound quite like the birds. But it sounded happy, like them. 聽起來不太像鳥兒的叫聲。 但聽起來很開心，就像牠們一樣。 We still hadn't found Dad's fork. It wasn't by the shed… but the hole where the fox lives was. And Jasmine peeped down. 我們還是沒有找到爸爸的叉鏟。 不是在棚子旁邊……不過我們發現了狐狸住的洞。 茉莉也往下偷看。 “Is the fox inside?” I asked. 「狐狸在裡面嗎？」 我問。 Dad nodded. “Yes. And she'll have fox cubs by now.” 爸爸點點頭。 「是的。 她現在已經有了狐狸寶寶了。」 “Little fox cubs!” Jasmine called. “Come and play!” 「狐狸寶寶！」 茉莉叫著。 「來玩啊！」 “They just want to be with their mum for now,” whispered Dad. “But they'll soon be playing games in the spring sunshine.” 「他們現在只想和媽媽在一起，」爸爸低聲說。 「但他們很快就會在春天的陽光下玩遊戲。」 “What games?” I asked. 「什麼遊戲？」 我問。 “Rolling and bouncing!” said Dad. “And chasing and pouncing!” Then he chased us, like we were foxes! 「滾來滾去，蹦蹦跳跳！」 爸爸說。 「還有追來追去，並且撲向對方！」然後他追我們，就像我們是狐狸一樣！ I ran behind the compost heap. “Dad!” I shouted. “HERE'S your fork!” 我跑到堆肥後面。 「爸爸！」 我大喊。 「你的叉鏟在這裡！」 Dad came to get it. 爸爸來拿叉鏟。 “Who lives in THERE?”, Jasmine asked. 「誰住在那兒？」茉莉問。 Dad rolled back a log with the fork. “Insects.” He said. 爸爸用叉鏟滾動了一根圓木。「昆蟲。」他說。 There were rushing ants and some woodlice. There were worms. And a shiny beetle. 有匆忙的螞蟻和一些潮蟲。 有蠕蟲。 還有一隻閃亮的甲蟲。 “Those are nature's recyclers,” Dad told us. “They're working hard, eating up all the dead things.” 「這些是大自然的回收者，」爸爸告訴我們。 「他們正在努力工作，吃掉所有死去的東西。」 I spotted a caterpillar next to the compost hea

Amy：Jasper，謝謝你陪我一起去探望Vivian奶奶。(Thank you for coming with me to visit Grandma Vivian.) Jasper：不客氣，我也很想去探望她。(You're welcome, I'd love to visit her too.) Amy：其實，我有點怕一個人去。(Actually, I'm a little afraid of going alone.)她家很昏暗，而且，有點亂。(Her house is very dark and a bit untidy.) Jasper：我知道。(I know.)我覺得那是因為Vivian奶奶還沒走出悲傷。(I think that's because Grandma Vivian hasn't gotten over her sadness yet.) Amy：一定很痛苦吧！(It must be painful!)唯一的家人走了，換作是我，一定不知道該怎麼辦。(The last of her family is gone. If it were me, I would not know what to do.) Jasper：我也是。(Me too.)孤單的感覺很可怕。(To be lonely is terrible.) Amy：我好希望她快點走出悲傷，再來我們學校當志工。(I really hope she can get over her grief quickly and come back to volunteer in our school.) Jasper：對啊！我也好想念她在圖書館給我們讀繪本的樣子。(Yes! I miss her reading picture books to us in the library.) Amy：到了到了。我們要開心點。(We are here. We need to cheer up a bit.) Jasper：嗯~~( Yes~~) Amy、Jasper：Vivian奶奶。(Grandma Vivian.)

Vivian奶奶：沒關係，我知道。(That’s okay, I know.)我也很喜歡我家現在的樣子。(I also like the way my house looks now.) Amy：是誰來幫你整理的？(Who came to help you organize it?) Vivian奶奶：這一切啊，都要從朋友送給我的一束花說起。(It all started with a bouquet of flowers given to me by a friend.)你看，就在那個花瓶裡。(See there in that vase.) Jasper：哇！好美，看了心情真好。(Wow! So beautiful, it’s really so cheerful to see.) Vivian奶奶：是啊！為了放那束花，我把多年前我先生送給我的花瓶找了出來。(Yes! I found the vase that my husband gave me many years ago to arrange the bouquet.) Amy：他很愛花嗎？(Did he love flowers?) Vivian奶奶：是啊，他總是買花送給我。(Yes, he always used to buy flowers for me.)他總是說擁有生活樂趣很重要。(He always said that it’s very important to have joie de vivre.) Jasper：所以你為了放那束花，把那張桌子清乾淨了？(So you cleaned that table to put that bouquet of flowers?) Vivian奶奶：是啊！不但把那張桌子清乾淨了，為了看清楚那束花，我還裝了新燈泡。 (Yes! I didn’t just clean the table, I also installed new light bulbs so I could see the flowers properly.) 看清楚以後，我發現我該打掃了屋子了。(Then, when I could see clearly, I realized it was time for me to clean the house.)

Do you plan to go to the festival to enjoy the lanterns?) 今天，Bear老師想給你們介紹一首大約一千年前跟情人、燈會有關的宋詞〈生查子──元夕〉，(Today, I would like to introduce to you a lyric from the Song Dynasty about 1,000 years ago, “Shēngzhāzǐ──Yuánxì”, which is about lovers and lantern festivals.) 作者是宋朝鼎鼎大名的文學家歐陽修。(The author is Ōuyáng Xiū, a very famous Song Dynasty poet and writer.) 〈生查子〉是曲調的名字 ("Shēngzhāzǐ " is the name of the tune.)。歐陽修為這首曲調寫了新的歌詞，並取名叫「元夕」。(Ōuyáng Xiū wrote new lyrics for this tune and named it "Yuánxì".) 從前的宋詞都配上了音樂，但是因為過了太久了，所以沒有人知道怎麼唱了，只留下美麗的文字讓我們欣賞。(In the past, Song Dynasty lyrics were set to music, but because so much time has passed, no one knows how to sing them anymore, leaving only beautiful words for us to appreciate.)不過，有些人為一些宋詞配上了新的音樂，所以，有的宋詞我們又能唱嘍。(However, some people wrote new music for some Song Dynasty lyrics, therefore, we can sing them again.) 「元夕」的意思就是「農曆年第一個月圓的夜晚」，("Yuánxì " means "the night of the first full moon of the lunar year",)也就是「農曆一月十五日的夜晚」，(that is, "the night of the 15th day of the first lunar month",)跟「元宵」是一樣的意思喔。(which has the same meaning as " Yuánxiāo".)所以農曆的一月十五日也叫「元宵節」。(Therefore, the 15th day of the first lunar month is also called "Yuánxiāo Festival".)至於為什麼也叫「燈節」，請聽聽第二十九集喔！(As for why it is also called “Lantern Festival”, please listen to the episode 29!) 現在，讓Bear老師來為你們讀這首詞：(Now, let me read this lyric for you:) 去年元夜時，花市燈如晝。月上柳梢頭，人約黃昏後。 今年元夜時，月與燈依舊。不見去年人，淚溼春衫袖。 現在讓Bear老師一句一句地給你們解釋：(Now let me explain it to you sentence by sentence :) 去年元夜時，花市燈如晝。 意思是：去年的元宵節，花市裡的燈會，亮得跟白天一樣。 At last year's Lantern Festival, the flower market was as bright as the daytime because of the lanterns. 月上柳梢頭，人約黃昏後。 意思是：我跟她約好了在黃昏以後，月亮爬到了柳樹枝頭上的時候見面。 I made an appointment with her to meet after dusk, when the moon climbed over the willow branches. 今年元夜時，月與燈依舊。 意思是：今年又到了元宵節的夜晚，月亮和花燈還是一樣美麗。 It’s the night of the Lantern Festival again this year, and the moon and lanterns are still as beautiful as last year. 不見去年人，淚溼春衫袖。 意思是：可是去年跟我在燈會見面的那個人已經不在了，讓我忍不住哭了起來，袖子因為擦眼淚都濕了。 But the person I met at the lantern festival last year is no longer there, and I cry uncontrollably. My sleeves are wet from wiping my tears. 這裡的「春衫」，意思不是「春天的衣服」，而是「年輕人穿的衣服」。(The "chūn shān" here doesn’t mean "spring clothes", but "clothes for young people".)這首詞寫的正是歐陽修年輕時候的回憶。(This lyric is about Ōuyáng Xiū's memories of when he was young.) 這首詞是歐陽修為了懷念他過世的妻子所寫的。(This lyric was written by Ōuyáng Xiū in memory of his deceased wife.)雖然是作者寫給妻子的，但這首詞卻讓Bear老師想起了童年時的回憶。(Although it was written to the author’s wife, it reminded me of my childhood memories.)小時候，Bear老師也會跟爺爺一起逛燈會，但是Bear老師的爺爺已經過世很多年了，因此，雖然現在每年的元宵節都依然有燈會，卻已經沒有爺爺陪我一起逛了。(When I was a child, I went to the lantern festival with my grandfather. However, my grandfather passed away many years ago. Therefore, although there are still lantern festivals every year, my grandfather no longer goes with me. ) 小朋友，你還小，所以大部分你愛的人都還在你的身邊，可是這並不是永遠的，因此，要珍惜與他們相處的每一刻。(Kids, you are still young, so most of the people you love are still with you, but this is not forever, so you must cherish every moment with them.) 請跟Bear老師再把這首詞念一次：(Please read this lyric with me again:) 去年元夜時，花市燈如晝。月上柳梢頭，人約黃昏後。 今年元夜時，月與燈依舊。不見去年人，淚溼春衫袖。 你記住了嗎(Do you remember it already)？如果還沒，別擔心(If not, don’t worry)。多念幾次，你就會記住了(You will remember it if you read it more)。 小朋友，如果你想說「這真是美好的回憶」，用英文，可以怎麼說呢？ “What a beautiful memory！” 意思是「多麼美好的回憶啊！」請跟Bear老師再說一次： “What a beautiful memory！” 今年的燈會，希望你能跟家人一起好好地欣賞，留下永恆的美好回憶。(I hope you can enjoy this year's lantern festival with your family and have lasting, beautiful memories.) 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

The Japanese title means “give you a gift of gratitude”.)不過，臺灣的出版社給這本繪本取了一個新的中文名字「有你多麼幸福」。(However, the Taiwanese publisher gave it a new Chinese name – “Having you around makes me so happy”.)因為Bear老師的日文還不夠好，所以Bear老師讀的是中文譯本，然後，Bear老師再把這個故事翻譯成英文給你們聽。(My Japanese is not good enough, so I will read the Chinese translation, and then translate the story into English for you.)現在，我們來聽聽這個故事嘍！(Now, let’s hear the story!) 日文繪本《有你多麼幸福》/ a Japanese picture book “Having you around makes me so happy” 作者：宮野聰子 / Author：みやのさとこ 中文翻譯：游珮芸 / Chinese translator You Pei-yun 森林的角落有一個大洞穴，大熊和小松鼠相親相愛的在那裡生活。 In the corner of the forest is a big cave, where two dear friends, big bear and little squirrel, live together. 每天早上小松鼠一起床，就開始打掃、洗衣服，然後做早餐。 Every morning when little squirrel gets up, he starts cleaning, washing clothes, and making breakfast. 大熊伸了個懶腰慢吞吞的以床後，就悠閒地在院子裡散步，然後為青菜和花朵澆水。 Big bear gets out of bed slowly, stretches, and takes a walk in the garden, where he waters the vegetables and flowers. 小松鼠也好喜歡慢吞吞的大熊，大熊也好喜歡充滿活力的小松鼠。 Little squirrel likes the big slow bear so much, and big bear also likes the energetic little squirrel very much. 有一天，小松鼠看著大熊，心裡想著……因為有大熊的細心照料，庭院裡才有這麼多美麗的花朵和好吃的青菜。 One day, as the little squirrel was watching the big bear, and thought to himself: it’s because of big bear’s care that we have so many beautiful flowers and delicious vegetables in the garden. 大熊也看著小松鼠，心裡想著……因為有小松鼠勤奮的清洗，家裡才有太陽味道的床單和柔軟蓬鬆的毛巾。 The big bear also looked at the squirrel, and thought: because of little squirrel’s careful cleaning, the house has sheets that smell of sunshine and soft fluffy towels. 溫暖的午後，兩個好朋友一起出門散步。 One warm afternoon, the two good friends went out for a walk together. 「大熊，我找到好多你喜歡的蘑菇喔！」 "Big Bear, I found a lot of those mushrooms you like!" 「這邊也有很多小松鼠喜歡的草莓呢！」 “Over here there are also a lot of little squirrel’s favourite strawberries!” 小松鼠一邊想著大熊，一邊摘蘑菇。 「大熊會不會很開心呢？」 Little squirrel picked mushrooms while thinking about big bear. "I wonder if big bear will be very happy?" 大熊也一邊想著小松鼠，一邊摘草莓。「小松鼠一定會很高興吧！」 Big bear also picked strawberries while thinking about little squirrel. "Little squirrel will definitely be very happy!" 摘完蘑菇和草莓後，他們來到小河邊清洗。 After picking mushrooms and strawberries, they went to the river to wash. 「水好冰啊！」小松鼠說。 "The water is so cold!" said the little squirrel. 「不要緊吧？我們到草原上曬太陽。」大熊說。 "Are you alright? – let's go to sunbathe on the grass," Big Bear said. 「哇！大熊的肚子暖呼呼的！」 "Wow! Big bear's belly is so warm!" 「怎麼樣？是不是暖和了呢？」 “How’s that? You feel warmer now?” 「嗯，好溫暖，謝謝。」 “Oh, it’s so warm. Thank you.” 小松鼠為了感謝大熊，做了一頂花冠送給他。 To thank the big bear, little squirrel made a flower crown and gave it to him. 「呵呵，有點癢癢的。」 “Haha, it tickles” 「好看嗎？大熊，你喜歡嗎？」 “Does it look good? Do you like it?” 「嗯，很喜歡，謝謝。」 “Oh, I like it very much, thank you” 回到家後，他們一起準備晚餐。 When they got home, they prepared dinner together. 今天的餐點是磨菇煎蛋和草莓果醬麵包。 Today’s meal is mushroom omelette, and bread with strawberry jam. 吃晚餐時，大熊對小松鼠說：「小松鼠，謝謝你為我做的一切。」 During dinner, big bear said to little squirrel, "Thank you for everything you have done for me, little squirrel." 小松鼠睜大眼睛問：「怎麼了？為什麼忽然這麼說？」 Surprised, little squirrel asked, "What's wrong? Why did you say that?" 「我一直在想，乾淨的房間、有太陽味道的床單、好吃的早餐，還有花冠……全都讓我覺得好幸福喔！("I keep thinking that the clean room, the sheets that smell like the sun, the delicious breakfast, and the flower crowns… it all makes me feel so content!)『謝謝』一定是在感到幸福的時候才會說的話吧！("Thank you" must be the thing people want to say only when they feel content.”)」 聽到大熊這麼說，小松鼠也說(Hearing big bear say this, the little squirrel replied:)：「我也一樣！(Me too!)因為有大熊，庭院裡才會有美麗的花朵和好吃的青菜；(Because of big bear, there are beautiful flowers and delicious vegetables in the garden;)餐桌上才會有整齊的碗盤和杯子。(there are neat bowls, plates and cups on the table.)而且你還溫暖了我的手！(And you keep my hands warm!)我很喜歡你為我做的一切，謝謝你為我做的所有事！(I love all the things you do for me, thank you for everything!)」 到了該睡覺的時間。 It’s time to sleep. 小松鼠一邊打哈欠，一邊說：(The little squirrel yawned and said,)「哇！像這樣跟你一起睡覺，是我最幸福的時候唷！(Wow! Sleeping with you like this is the happiest time for me!)大熊，今天也是，謝謝你所做的一切。(Big Bear, today I feel the same, thank you for everything you did.)晚安…(Good night…)」 小松鼠睡著了，發出呼嚕呼嚕的鼻息聲。大熊輕聲的說：(The little squirrel fell asleep and snored. Big Bear said softly:)「晚安。(Good night.)看著你睡著的臉龐，是我最幸福時候。(To see your face while you sleep is the happiest time for me.)謝謝你，一直在我身邊。(Thank you for always being by my side.)」 那天晚上，小松鼠和大熊都沉浸在幸福的感覺裡睡著了。 So that night, big bear and little squirrel fell asleep full of co

本故事靈感來自於戰火下的兩個真實故事： (1)一位父親為了讓孩子能在戰火中正常生活，每當遠方的轟炸聲響起時，就帶著孩子唱歌，苦中作樂，讓孩子能夠堅強地活下去。 (2)記者詢問戰火中的一個小男孩有何希望，他卻反問記者：「我還能活著嗎？」 Bear老師小提醒： (1) 由於涉及戰爭這個殘酷的議題，期盼父母能與孩子一同聆聽，在必要時為其解釋、給予安慰。 (2) 戰爭雙方的百姓都是無辜的，本創作無意控訴任何一方，因此選擇了阿拉伯世界與西方世界的兩個名字Amal 與Olivia作為主角，分別意寓「希望」與「和平」，期盼兩個不同的世界能走向希望與和平。 🎧每個月15號、30號晚上8:00更新。 📜如果需要PDF文字檔或想知道更多關於每集的英語小知識，請追蹤： 🅸🅶：bear.bilingual 𝓕𝓑：Bear老師的中英雙語故事 (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085483186691) 🎁贊助連結：https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/f2cb33e1-02d1-4fce-9e8e-68b636579fd0 🧸如果家長您手頭方便也願意贊助，Bear老師感謝您的支持。 本集背景音樂：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRkIL13jVXU&t=5303s 背景音樂： 聖誕音樂：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NCcqmYCyoQ&list=PLTfzb4h-uy5wgUTZHzY0QQ9M5E9YjZ6Y3 幻想即興：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmeTrL4lBd0 命運交響曲：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFifaY_eZU0 新世界交響曲：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOofzffyDSA Hello, This is Teacher Bear，我是Bear老師。小朋友，聖誕節又快到了，你打算怎麼慶祝呢？(Christmas is coming soon, how will you celebrate?)你期待聖誕老公公會送來什麼禮物呢？(What gifts do you hope Santa Claus will bring?)你覺得世界上的小朋友都有機會收到禮物嗎？(Do you think all children everywhere have the chance to receive gifts?)讓我們來聽聽Amal和Olivia這兩位小朋友的故事。(Let's listen to the story of two children, Amal and Olivia.)

(但這不是獾媽媽，而是……一隻狼！他大搖大擺地走過去，舔了舔嘴唇。) The wolf(狼)： “Look what we have here!(看看這裡有什麼！) A squirrel for starters(松鼠當前菜), a badger and an owl for the main course,(主菜是獾和貓頭鷹，), and a mouse for pudding!(飯後甜點是老鼠！)” Mouse(阿鼠)：“I am not a pudding! (我才不是飯後甜點！)And you can’t eat my friends!(還有你不能吃我的朋友！)” The wolf(狼)：“Says who?(誰說的？)” Mouse(老鼠)： “Me!(我！)” Squirrel(松鼠)： “And me!(還有我！)” Owl(貓頭鷹： “And me!(還有我！)” “And me!(還有我！)” shouted Mummy Badger.(獾媽媽喊。) The wolf took one look at her angry eyes and scarpered.(狼一看獾媽媽憤怒的眼神，就驚慌地跑走了。) Mummy Badger hugged Little Badger tight.(獾媽媽緊緊地抱住了小獾。) Mummy Badger (獾媽媽)：“Thank you all for bring her home!(謝謝你們大家帶她回家！)” Squirrel(松鼠)：“It was Mouse’s idea.(是阿鼠的主意。) ” Mummy Badger(獾媽媽)：“Well, thank you, Mr. ── wait a minute, Aren’t you the grumpy mouse who lives in the oak tree?(嗯，謝謝你，這位先生您……等一下，你不是那隻住在橡樹裡的脾氣很暴躁的老鼠嗎？)” Mouse (阿鼠)：“For the last time, I am not grumpy……at least, not anymore!(最後一次，我的脾氣不暴躁……至少……以後不暴躁了。)” And for the first time in a long time, Mouse smiled.(阿鼠笑了，他好久沒笑了。) “Because now I have friends,(因為現在我有朋友了，) and friends, well, that’s just what I need!(而朋友們，正是我需要的！)” 小朋友，現在你是不是放心了呢？(Do you feel reassured now?)你覺得阿鼠是一個好朋友嗎？(Do you think Mouse is a good friend?)你願意接受一個脾氣暴躁的朋友嗎？(Could you accept a grumpy friend?)如果朋友的脾氣暴躁，你要怎麼幫助他呢？(If your friend is grumpy, what can you do to help?)你覺得松鼠跟貓頭鷹的貼心，對阿鼠有幫助嗎？(When Owl and Squirrel were kind to Mouse, do you think it helped?) 而你，是一個脾氣暴躁的人嗎？(And how about you? Are you a grumpy sort of person?)脾氣暴躁的時候，可能對別人造成傷害，讓朋友離你更遠。(When you’re in a bad mood, you might hurt others and drive your friends away.)因此，一定要想辦法找出脾氣暴躁的原因，並且改正，這樣才不會讓身邊的人感到不舒服喔。(In that case you need to find the reason why you’re grumpy, and fix it, so your companions can feel comfortable around you.) 還有，如果某天你因為沒控制好暴躁的脾氣而傷害了朋友，用英文，你可以怎麼表達歉意呢？ “I lost my temper, I was wrong.” 意思是「我沒控制好脾氣，我錯了。」請跟Bear老師再說一次： “I lost my temper, I was wrong.” 小朋友，希望你不但能控制好脾氣，也能幫助脾氣暴躁的朋友。(I hope you can control your temper, and also help your grumpy friends.) 我們下次見嘍！(See you next time!) -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

He’d woken up to find that the door to his oak tree was blocked by a big furry bottom! (阿鼠的心情特別暴躁，因為他醒來時發現他的橡樹門被一個毛茸茸的大屁股擋住了！) “That’s just what I need(好像我需要這個一樣)!” he grumbled, climbing out of the window to see what was going on.(他嘀咕著，爬出窗外看看發生了什麼事。) Then, splash, a drop of water landed on Mouse’s nose.(然後，撲通一聲，一滴水滴到了阿鼠的鼻子上。) Mouse sighed (阿鼠嘆氣)：“Rain! That’s just what I need!(唉~~是雨水啊！好像我需要這個一樣！)” But it wasn’t a raindrop. It was a teardrop, from a very sad little badger. (但這不是雨滴。 那是一滴眼淚，來自一隻非常悲傷的小獾。) Little Badger wailed(小獾嚎啕大哭)： “Where is my mummy?(我媽媽在哪裡？)” Squeaked mouse(阿鼠吱吱叫)： “I don’t know! But I’ll help you to find her if you stop that racket!(我不知道，不過如果你別吵，我會幫你找到她。)” Little Badger stopped crying. Then, with a sniffle, she took Mouse’s paw and off they went. They hadn’t gone far when a butterfly fluttered past.(小獾不哭了。然後，她吸了吸鼻子，抓住阿鼠的爪子就走了。他們還沒走多遠，一隻蝴蝶翩翩飛了過去。) Little Badger(小獾)：“Pretty!(好漂亮！)” Squealed Little Badger, galloping after it. (小獾尖叫著，追著蝴蝶跑。) Squeaked Mouse(阿鼠吱吱叫)： “Stop!(站住)” But when Little Badger did, Mouse was completely lost. (但當小獾停下來時，阿鼠完全迷路了。) Mouse groaned(阿鼠呻吟著)： “That’s just what I need! (好像我需要這個一樣！)” “Hello,(你好，)” said a squirrel-y voice.(松鼠說) “Aren’t you that grumpy mouse who lives in the old oak?(啊你不就是住在老橡樹裡的那隻脾氣暴躁的老鼠嗎？)” Mouse said grumpily(老鼠生氣地說)： “I am not grumpy!(我的脾氣不暴躁！)I am trying to get this little badger back to her mum.( 我正在努力把這隻小獾帶回她媽媽身邊。)” Squirrel said(松鼠說)：“How kind!(你人真好！) My friend will know where the Badgers live, come on!(我的朋友知道獾他們住在哪裡，來吧！) ” “Hello, Squirrel,(你好啊松鼠，)” hooted Owl.(貓頭鷹叫著) “What a dear little badger!(好可愛的小獾啊！) Oh, and you’ve brought lunch.(你還帶了午餐來。)” Mouse spluttered(阿鼠氣急敗壞地說)： “I am not lunch!(我才不是你的午餐！)” Owl nodded(貓頭鷹點頭)： “Indeed,(確實，) You’re that grumpy mouse.(你是那隻脾氣暴躁的老鼠。) I don’t eat grumpy mice, they’re far too sour.(我不吃脾氣暴躁的老鼠，吃起來太酸了。) ” Squirrel said(松鼠說)： “Actually, he’s trying to get Little Badger home to her mum!(其實，他正努力要把小獾帶回媽媽身邊呢！)” Owl smiled(貓頭鷹微笑)： “Then follow me,(那跟我來吧，) The forest is a dangerous place after dark so we’d better get going!(天黑後森林很危險，所以我們最好加快腳步！)” Everyone follow Owl deeper into the forest then, splosh, a drop of water landed on Mouse’s nose. ) (大家跟著貓頭鷹深入了森林裡，撲通一聲，一滴水滴到了阿鼠的鼻子上。) Mouse grumbled(阿鼠嘀咕著)：“Oh! Please don’t start crying again!(喔！拜託別再哭了！) ”But it wasn’t a teardrop, it was a raindrop! (但這不是淚滴，而是雨滴！) “That’s just what I need!(好像我需要這個一樣！)” Mouse huffed as it started to pour.(當雨水開始傾瀉而下時，阿鼠氣呼呼地說。) Said Owl(貓頭鷹說)：“We must keep little Badger dry, soggy badgers catch colds. (別讓小獾淋濕了，要不然會感冒。)” Mouse gasped(阿鼠喘著氣說)：“Oh crumbs! Anyone got an umbrella?(天啊！誰有雨傘？)” “You’re welcome to shelter under my tummy,” said a big brown bear. (歡迎到我的肚肚下面躲雨，一隻大棕熊說。) “But what is the grumpy mouse doing out here with Little Badger? (可是那隻脾氣暴躁的老鼠和小獾在這裡做什麼呢？) ” Squirrel said quickly(松鼠很快地說)：“He’s trying to get her home.(他正試著送小獾回家喔。)” Bear smiled(棕熊笑了)：“What a kind friend!(好善良的朋友啊！)” Mouse blushed. He’s never been called a friend before. (阿鼠臉紅了。他從來沒被人稱為朋友。) When the rain stopped, Bear pointed them in the right direction. (雨停了，棕熊給他們指明了正確的方向。) “And you’d better hurry, it’s getting late!(你們最好快一點，越來越晚了！)” 小朋友，夜晚的森林是非常危險的(The forest at night is very dangerous)，你覺得他們能找到獾媽媽嗎(Do you think they can find Mummy Badger)？讓我們為他們祈禱(Let’s pray for them)，希望在下一集的故事當中聽到好消息(and hope we can hear good news in the next episode)。 還有，你聽到阿鼠說“That’s just what I need!”，這句話如果直接翻譯意思是「這就是我需要的。」不過，當阿鼠脾氣暴躁地說這句話時，其實是一句反話喔，真正的意思是「我不需要這個」。因此，你在說這句英文時，要注意口氣。比如說(For example)，你正需要一枝筆，同學就借你一枝筆，這時你的口氣應該是 “That’s just what I need!”。可是，相反的，如果你寫功課寫著寫著，筆卻壞了，也沒有人能借給你一枝筆，害你不能完成功課，這時，你的口氣就是 “That’s just what I need!”，諷刺地說就是「好像我需要這個一樣」，其實就是「不需要」的意思。這樣，你懂了嗎？Do you get it? 請用開心的口氣跟Bear老師再說一次： “That’s just what I need!” 請用諷刺的口氣再說一次： “That’s just what I need!” 小朋友，請等待下一集喔(Please wait for the next episode)！ 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

(recording of the Century : Claudio Arrau) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUdoxvigIl8 Hello, this is teacher Bear. 我是Bear老師。小朋友，當你感到傷心時，你能怎麼辦呢(What can you do when you feel sad)？讓我們來聽聽這位小朋友的經驗(Let's listen to this kid's experience)。 An English Picture Book “When I’m Feeling Sad”/英文繪本《當我感到傷心時》 Author：Trace Moroney(作者：崔西 摩洛妮) When I’m feeling sad I feel like someone has taken all the colours away……and everything is grey and gloomy and droopy. 當我感到傷心時，我覺得有人把顏色都帶走了，什麼都是灰色的，又陰沉又垂頭喪氣。 When I’m feeling sad I feel like I could cry…and cry…and cry soooo much that I make a flood! 當我感到傷心時，我覺得我只能一直哭，一直哭，哭得淚水氾濫成災。 I want to crawl into bed and pull the covers over my head…and stay there until the sadness goes away. 我想爬到床上用被子蓋住頭，就這樣一直在被窩裡待著直到傷心遠離。 Some things make me really sad…like when I hear Mum and Dad arguing, or when I am sick and my body doesn’t work properly…or when someone, or something, I love dies. 有些事真的讓我傷心，就像當我聽到父母吵架時，或當我的身體因為生病而不能正常活動時，或我所愛的死去時。 It’s okay to let yourself feel sad…but it could help to talk to someone about it. Sharing your feelings can sometimes make you feel better. 如果你覺得傷心，就傷心吧，沒關係的。不過，如果你能跟別人談一談，或把你的感覺說出來，有時候會有幫助的。 When I’m feeling sad, I try to be kind and gentle to myself. I like to soak in a big bubble bath, or listen to my favourite music. 當我感到傷心時，我試著對自己更好更溫柔。我喜歡洗個泡泡浴，或聽聽我最愛的音樂 Sometimes, just being with friends and family makes me feel better…even if I don’t want to talk. 有的時候，只是跟家人或朋友待在一起，即使我一句話都不想說，也能讓心情好些。 But the nicest feeling of all is when a kind person gives me a hug and says “Everything is going to be okay.” 但最好的感覺就是有一個體貼的人抱著我跟我說：「一切都會好起來的。」 小朋友，其實最近Bear老師非常傷心，因為我心愛的狗狗過世了(I’m actually very sad recently because my beloved dog passed away)，我的心好痛好痛(My heart hurts so much)。不過我知道時間是最好的藥，我相信一切都會好起來的(But I know time is the best medicine and I believe everything is going to be okay)。. 如果你想安慰我或其他傷心的朋友，用英文，你可以說： “Everything is going to be okay.” 意思是「一切都會好起來的」。請你再用英文為我說一次，好嗎？ “Everything is going to be okay.” 小朋友，我知道一切都會好起來的(I know “Everything is going to be okay.”)。也希望你學會怎麼面對悲傷(I also hope you learn how to face sadness)。 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

I also introduced him in Episode 11)。 現在讓我們來聽聽這首詩： Now let's listen to this poem: 花間一壺酒，獨酌無相親。 舉杯邀明月，對影成三人。 什麼意思呢？ What does it mean? 花間一壺酒 意思是： 我在花叢間品嚐著一壺酒。 I am savoring a jug of wine amidst the flowers. 獨酌無相親 意思是： 可是只有我一個人自己喝著酒，身邊一個親友都沒有。 But it’s only me here, drinking by myself, with no friends or family around. 舉杯邀明月 意思是： 我舉起了杯子，邀請月亮跟我一起喝酒。 I raise my cup, inviting the moon to join me for a drink. 對影成三人 意思是： 因為我邀請了月亮，所以現在我、月亮和我的影子，我們三個人一起喝酒。 Because I invited the moon, now it's me, the moon, with my shadow cast by the moonlight, the three of us drinking together. 小朋友，你曾經有過孤單的感覺嗎(Have you ever felt lonely before)？其實，世間萬物都能是你的朋友，就看你能不能運用想像力來為自己創造快樂與豐富的生活(Actually, everything in the world can be your friend; it depends on whether you can use your imagination to create a happy and fulfilling life for yourself)。 現在，我們來複習這首詩(Now, let's review this poem)。 花間一壺酒，獨酌無相親。 舉杯邀明月，對影成三人。 你記住了嗎(Do you remember it already)？如果還沒，別擔心(If not, don’t worry)。多念幾次，你就會記住了(You will remember it if you read it more)。 小朋友，如果有一天你真的必須表達寂寞的感覺，那麼，用英文，可以怎麼說呢？ “I feel very lonely.” 意思是「我很寂寞」。 請跟Bear老師再說一次。 “I feel very lonely.” 小朋友，寂寞的時候，希望Bear老師的故事能陪伴你，幫助你思考，並走出寂寞的感覺(When you feel lonely, I hope my stories can accompany you, help you reflect, and alleviate the sense of loneliness)。 如果你還想聽聽更多有關中秋節的故事或唐詩，可以回頭找找第10、11、12集喔(If you'd like to hear more stories or Tang poems related to the Moon Festival, you can go back and look for episodes 10, 11, and 12)。 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

He was very clever from a young age, but because he was unusually short, he was often teased by others)。可是晏嬰並不在意，並且非常努力，長大以後，成為了齊國的大臣(However, Yan Ying was not self-conscious about it and worked very hard. As he grew older, he became a government minister in the kingdom of Qi)。 有一年，齊王派晏嬰出使強大的楚國(One year, the king of Qi sent Yan Ying as an envoy to the powerful kingdom of Chu)。可是晏嬰到了楚國，前來迎接他的楚國官員卻故意不開大門，只開了一扇最小的邊門(However, when Yan Ying arrived in Chu, the Chu officials who came to welcome him deliberately didn't open the main gate; they only opened a small side gate)。晏嬰知道這是楚國官員故意羞辱他，卻一點也不生氣，反而心平氣和地說(Yan Ying knew that this was a deliberate insult by the Chu officials, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he calmly said)：「只有到狗國去才會鑽小小的狗洞，楚國認為自己是狗國嗎(Only in a dog's country would one go through a tiny dog door. Does Chu consider itself a dog's country)？如果不是，那麼，我就該走大門才對(If not, then I should enter through the main gate)。」楚國的官員聽了，只好打開大門讓他進去(The Chu officials had no choice but to open the main gate for him)。 楚王見到晏嬰後，裝出很驚訝的樣子說(When the King of Chu saw Yan Ying, he pretended to be very surprised and said)：「難道齊國都沒人才了嗎(Does Qi have no talent left)？怎麼派你這樣一個矮子來呢(Why would they send such a short person like you)？」晏嬰笑了笑，很從容的回答(Yan Ying smiled calmly and replied)：「大王，您錯了，我們齊國各種人才都有(Your Majesty, you misunderstand. In Qi, we have talented people of all kinds)。上等人才出使上等國家，次等人才出使次等國家。而我是齊國的下等人才，所以我們大王就派我來這兒了(The top talents are sent to the top countries, and the lower-ranked talents are sent to lower-ranked countries. I, being one of the lesser talents of Qi, have been sent here by our king)。」楚王原來是想要羞辱晏嬰的，沒想到卻自取其辱(The King of Chu had originally wanted to humiliate Yan Ying but ended up humiliating himself)。 過了不久有個官員押解了一個犯人到大殿上來向楚王報告(Not long after that, an official escorted a prisoner into the royal court and reported to the King of Chu)：「大王，這個齊國人在我們楚國幹了許多壞事，現在總算把他逮到了(Your Majesty, this person from the kingdom of Qi has done many bad things in our land, and we have finally captured him)。」楚王聽了，又故意裝出非常驚訝的樣子對晏嬰說(Upon hearing this, the King of Chu once again pretended to be very surprised and said to Yan Ying)：「難道你們齊國人都這麼差嗎(Are all the people from Qi so bad)？」晏嬰不慌不忙地回答(Yan Ying, with calm composure, replied)：「大王，您可知道，橘子本來是南方的水果，又大又甜又好吃(Your Majesty, do you know that mandarins are originally a fruit from the south? They are big, sweet, and delicious there )。可是，如果把它移植到北方，就變得又酸又苦又難吃，這就是環境造成的(However, if you transplant them to the north, they become sour, bitter, and hard to eat. This is all due to the environment)。這個人我認得，他在我們齊國規規矩矩的，怎麼到了楚國就變壞了呢(I know this person, and he behaved properly in Qi. How did he turn bad after coming to Chu)？可見你們楚國的環境有問題啊(It seems there might be some issues with the environment here in Chu)！」楚王聽了以後，又生氣又丟臉。從此，他再也不敢瞧不起晏嬰了(Upon hearing this, the King of Chu became both angry and embarrassed. From then on, he dared not look down on Yan Ying anymore)。 小朋友，你是不是覺得晏嬰非常機智也非常有自信呢(Do you think Yan Ying is very clever and confident)？中文有一個成語叫「不卑不亢」，意思就是「不自卑，也不自大(In Chinese, there is an idiom called '不卑不亢,' which means 'neither inferior nor arrogant)」。其實，每個人都有優缺點，沒有人是完美的(In fact, everyone has strengths and weaknesses, and no one is perfect)。我們都應該以不卑不亢的態度，努力發揮自己的才華，同時也欣賞他人的優點(We should all maintain a ' neither inferior nor arrogant ' attitude, striving to showcase our talents while appreciating the strengths of others)。 小朋友，如果你想向晏嬰學習，用英文，可以怎麼說呢？ “I will learn from him.” 意思是「我會向他學習的」。請跟Bear老師再說一次： “I will learn from him.” 小朋友，希望你能向晏嬰學習(I hope you can learn from Yan Ying)。將來，若看到地位比你高，或比你厲害的人，千萬不必自卑(In the future, if you encounter people who are in a higher position or more skilled than you, you should never feel inferior)。而若看到不如你的人，也千萬不可驕傲自大喔(And when you encounter those who may not be as capable as you, it's important not to become arrogant)。 我們下次見嘍！ See you next time. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Do you want to hear it)？ Emma：嗯~~我要聽(Sure, I’d like to hear it)。 Amy：大概兩千多年前，中國東南部有一個強大的楚國，在楚國西北方的魏國為了討好楚王，就送給楚王一個美女當妃子(About two thousand years ago, there was a powerful region of south-east China called the Chu kingdom. In order to please the King of Chu, the Wei kingdom in the northwest sent the King of Chu a beautiful wife)。大家都叫她「魏美人」，因為她是魏國來的美麗女人(We call her “Wei Meiren”. In Chinese it menas “a beautiful woman from Wei.”)。 Emma：那楚王一定很開心(So the King of Chu must have been very happy)。 Amy：對，楚王非常開心，常常跟魏美人在一起(Yes, the King of Chu was very happy and spent a lot of time with Wei Meiren)。可是，楚國的王后卻不高興了，並且非常忌妒魏美人(However, the Queen of Chu was unhappy and very jealous)。於是，她派人在宮裡散佈謠言說「魏美人雖然很美，可惜鼻子有一點歪」(So she sent people to spread rumors around the palace, saying, "Although Wei Meiren is very beautiful, her nose is a little crooked)。 Emma：王后好壞(That Queen was so bad)。不過，魏美人的鼻子真的有一點歪嗎(So, was Wei Meiren‘s nose really a little crooked)？ Amy：魏美人的鼻歪不歪並不重要，因為楚王是真的喜歡她(That wasn’t the point, because the King of Chu really liked her)。可惜的是，魏美人居然真的相信了謠言，並且非常擔心(It’s a pity that Wei Meiren took notice of the rumours and was very worried)。後來，只要見到楚王就開始遮掩她的鼻子，因為她怕楚王嫌棄她的鼻子而不喜歡她了(After that, whenever she saw the King, she started covering her nose because she was afraid the King would dislike her because of her nose)。 Emma：結果呢(So what then)？ Amy：結果，楚王誤會魏美人是嫌棄自己的體臭才遮的鼻子，一氣之下，就派人把魏美人的鼻子給割下來了(It turned out that the King got the wrong idea. He thought Wei Meiren was covering her nose because of his body odour. In a fit of anger, he ordered her nose cut off)。 Emma：天啊！好可怕！她中了王后的計了(Oh my – how awful. She fell into the Queen’s trap)。 Amy：對，你還記得嗎(Right. Do you remember )？Bear老師說過「有的時候人比鬼還可怕」(Miss Bear said that sometimes people are more scary than ghosts)。 Emma：如果魏美人能夠有自信，不管別人說什麼就好了(If Wei Meiren had had enough confidence, she wouldn’t have cared what others said)。 Amy：沒錯！你有沒有想過，或許是因為同學忌妒你功課好，所以故意嘲笑你(Exactly! Did you ever think that maybe your classmates are just jealous of your good grades, and that’s why they laugh at you)。如果你因為在意而傷心難過，然後影響了念書的心情，那麼，受害的就只有你自己(If you brood about it and it affects your mood when you’re studying, you’re the only one who suffers)。 Emma：謝謝你告訴我這個故事，現在，我知道應該怎麼做了(Thanks for telling me the story, now I know how to handle it)。 Amy：嗯~~走(Hey, come on)，我帶你去看烏龜，你就知道牠們有多可愛了(I’ll take you to see turtles, you will see how cute they are)。 Emma：嗯~我要看我要看(Oh, I want to see, I want to see)，走吧走吧( Let’s go)！ 小朋友，如果你是Emma，你會怎麼做呢(If you were Emma, what would you do)？還是，你也正在說別人的壞話呢(Or are you gossiping about others)？Bear老師希望你能夠專注於自己喜歡的事情，不要 在乎那些惡意的批評(I hope you can focus on things you enjoy and ignore the haters)。同時，Bear老師更希望你不要成為霸凌的加害者(And … I hope you won’t become someone who bullies others)。 如果，你聽到關於你的惡意的批評，希望你可以瀟灑地說 “I don’t care！” 意思是「我不在乎」。請跟Bear老師再說一次： “I don’t care！” 小朋友，希望你能夠判斷哪些意見對你才是重要的，哪些批評對你根本不重要(I hope you can learn to judge which opinions are valid and which don’t matter at all)。還有，最重要的是，千萬不要成為霸凌者喔(And most importantly, don’t become a bully)。 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

At nightfall, this village was haunted by ghosts – which is to say, the door might suddenly open, or the candle may flicker on and off, or the trees in the yard might suddenly fall)。每次遇到這樣的情況，那戶人家就必須準備一頓好吃的來拜拜，安撫那些鬼(Whenever this happened, the family of the house had to prepare a tasty meal for the ghosts to appease them)。 可是，有一個人，名叫胡田生，他一點都不怕，所以啊，常常在晚上出門閒晃，就是想看看鬼到底長什麼樣子(However, there was one man, called Hu TianSheng, who was not afraid at all. He often went outside for a stroll, just to see what the ghosts looked like)。有一天，他半夜從朋友家離開後獨自走路回家，忽然，他看到一個面色蒼白的人飄過來，越來越近，越來越近(One day, he was leaving a friend’s house in the middle of the night, and started walking home alone. Suddenly, he saw a pale figure, floating closer and closer)。胡田生心想：「我該不會是碰到鬼了吧()？」(Hu TianSheng thought to himself: “Surely, this must be a ghost!”)就在這時，那個鬼忽然先開口了：「你這個大膽的人，居然敢一個人走夜路，看我怎麼嚇你！」(and at that moment, the ghost suddenly spoke. “Such a brave man you are - you dare to walk the streets alone? Let’s see how I can scare you!”) 胡田生忽然靈機一動地說(But an idea occurred to Hu TianSheng, and he replied)：「老大哥您誤會啦，我也是鬼啊！(Big brother, you misunderstand – I am also a ghost!)」 那個鬼半信半疑地說(The ghost said, doubtfully)：「真的嗎？那…你為什麼看起來這麼像人呢(Is that so? Then … why do you look so human)？」 胡田生回答(Hu TianSheng replied)：「唉~~那是因為我剛死不久啊！是個新鬼。(it was only recently that I died. I am a new ghost!)」 那個鬼說(The ghost said)：「哎呀！難怪你走路的樣子這麼笨重(Aha! No wonder you walk in that clumsy way)。來來來，你跟著我這個老鬼吧！我教你怎麼去找吃的(Come along, you follow this old ghost, and I’ll teach you how to find food)。」 於是，胡田生跟在老鬼後面，邊走邊聊了一會兒(So Hu TianSheng followed along behind the old ghost, chatting as they walked)。 胡田生：「大哥，謝謝您跟我說了這麼多經驗(Brother, thank you for relating to me your experience)。不過，我很好奇的是，我們鬼，到底怕什麼啊(But I am very curious: what are we ghosts afraid of)？」 老鬼：「對了，我忘了告訴你，千萬別讓人在你身上吐口水啊(Ah yes, I forgot to tell you: you must never, ever let anyone spit on you)！要不然，你會馬上化作一陣煙，然後永遠消失，再也沒有機會投胎啦(Otherwise, you will disappear in a puff of smoke and never be seen again, even losing your chance to be reincarnated)！」 胡田生一聽，立刻朝老鬼身上吐了一大口口水(Upon hearing this, Hu TianSheng immediately spat a big mouthful at the old ghost)。「啊~~~~( Aaaah)！」就這樣，老鬼一聲慘叫，化作一陣煙，消失得無影無蹤了(just like that, the old ghost screamed, and with a puff of smoke, disappeared without trace)。 小朋友，聽了這個故事以後，你有什麼想法呢(What are your thoughts when you hear this story)？你覺得鬼很可怕嗎(Do you think ghosts are scary)？你是否曾聽過一句話說「有的時候，人比鬼還可怕」，這句話是什麼意思呢(Have you heard the saying: “sometimes, people are more scary than ghosts”? What does the saying mean)？ 其實，Bear老師也不清楚世界上到底有沒有鬼(I’m not so sure if there are any ghosts in the world)，可是，Bear老師很清楚的是世界上有很多壞人(but I am certain that there are lots of bad people)。他們做的事比鬼還要可怕多了，而且，你常常看不出來他們是壞人，直到你被他們害了才知道(What they do is much scarier than ghosts, and you can’t always tell that they’re bad people – you won’t know until you’re harmed by them)。因此，我們真正該害怕的或許並不是鬼，而是那些可惡的人(So perhaps what we should really be afraid of is not ghosts, but those terrible people)。你同意嗎(Would you agree)？ 小朋友，如果聽了這個故事以後，你覺得一點都不怕鬼，用英文，可以怎麼說呢？ “I am not afraid of ghosts.” 或是 “I am not scared of ghosts. ” 意思是「我不怕鬼」。請跟Bear老師再說一次： “I am not afraid of ghosts.” 或是 “I am not scared of ghosts. ” 小朋友，Bear老師希望你能夠勇敢，同時，也學會保護自己喔(I hope that you can be brave, and at the same time, learn to protect yourself)。如果你還想聽跟鬼月有關的故事，歡迎你去聽聽第八集和第九集喔(If you still want to hear stories about Ghost Month, you are welcome to listen to episode eight and nine )。 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

I think I’ve recovered now)。 Emma：我知道你很怕打針(I know you’re afraid of injections)，醫生給你打針了嗎(did the doctor give you an injection)？ Amy：沒有，不過她給我吃了一些藥，讓我舒服一點(No … just some medicine to make me feel better)。 Emma：這次感冒，你有那些症狀，嚴重嗎(Did you have any serious symptoms with this cold)？ Amy：我有一點發燒(I had a slight fever)、流鼻水(runny nose)、咳嗽(cough)、頭痛(headache)、肌肉痛(some muscle pain)，不太嚴重，可是很不舒服(Nothing too serious, but very uncomfortable)。 Emma：我懂，生病的時候真難受(I know. It’s hard when you’re sick)。去年我得到了流行感冒，不但跟你有一樣的症狀，還一直吐，一直拉肚子(I got the flu last year. Not just the same symptoms as you; vomiting and diarrhea too)。 Amy：我記得，那個時候我擔心死了(I remember. I was so worried for you when that happened)。 Emma：謝謝你這麼關心我(Thanks for caring about me so much)。 我們都要更小心注意自己的健康(We all need to pay attention to our health)。 Amy：嗯。對了，醫生還告訴我流行感冒病毒無所不在，而且有很多不一樣的類型(I remember the doctor was telling me the flu virus is everywhere, and there are several different types)。所以最好的辦法就是增加自己的抵抗力(So it’s really best to improve your immune system)。 Emma：我奶奶說打流行感冒疫苗有用(My grandma said that it’s worth getting the flu vaccine)，可是我媽媽有不一樣的看法(but my mother thinks differently)。 Amy：我爸爸也說打疫苗這件事很複雜(My father says vaccination is a very complicated issue)，應該根據自己的狀況決定，我們也應該尊重每個人的選擇(He says it’s something for everyone to decide according to their own situation, and we should respect everyone’s personal choice)。 Emma：可是Mary阿姨說每個人都一定得打疫苗(But Aunt Mary says everyone should be vaccinated)，所以他們全家每年都打流感疫苗(so her whole family gets the flu vaccine every year)。 Amy：我爸爸說民主社會，每個人的想法都值得尊重(My father says that in a democratic society, everyone’s views should be treated with respect)，所以Mary阿姨一定也有她的道理(I’m sure Aunt Mary has her reasons)，下次我們去找她聊天，聽聽她的看法(Next time we go to chat with her, we’ll ask about her opinion)。 Emma：嗯，我喜歡去她家，每次都有好吃的(I like going to her house, she always has nice things to eat!)，她總是說營養很重要(She’s always saying nutrition is important)。 Amy：喔~~這才是你的目的(So you’re only thinking about that)。 Emma：才不是(That’s not true)！ 小朋友，以前你感冒的時候，有哪些症狀呢(When you had a cold, what symptoms did you have)？是不是也跟Amy一樣(The same as Amy)？而現在，你是不是也替Amy開心呢(Now, Do you feel happy for Amy)？ 你知道「我康復了！」用英文怎麼說嗎？ “I recovered！” 請跟Bear老師再說一次： “I recovered！” 小朋友，你在生活中做了哪些事情來維持你的身體健康呢(What are you doing with your lifestyle to improve your health)？請分享給朋友，並請繼續保持喔(Share tips with your friends, and keep it up)。 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

小朋友、大朋友久等了，這次Bear老師在錄製上遇到一些困難。本來想假裝並利用軟體來改變聲線，製造出「父親」的聲音，但是聽起來非常不自然，反覆錄了幾次都作罷。後來，想找男性英語母語者來錄製，但是中文部分卻不自然了，於是又試了不同的剪輯辦法。還有譯文的部分，本來Bear老師把原文翻譯成適合小朋友閱讀的版本，但是，感覺失了些許深度與美感。總之，幾經折騰與掙扎，最後Bear老師決定以「朗誦文章」的方式來表現，把重點放在優美的文句上，期待與小朋友、大朋友一同欣賞。此外，父親節快到了。Bear老師在此藉本集節目預祝各位爸爸們「父親節快樂！」 📃如果需要PDF文字檔或想知道更多關於每集的英語小知識，請追蹤： 🅸🅶：bear.bilingual 𝓕𝓑：Bear老師的中英雙語故事 (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085483186691) 💝贊助連結：https://pay.soundon.fm/podcasts/f2cb33e1-02d1-4fce-9e8e-68b636579fd0 🧸如果家長您手頭方便，也願意，Bear老師感謝您的贊助。 Hello, this is teacher Bear，我是Bear老師。 小朋友，你知道麥克阿瑟將軍是誰嗎(Do you know who General McArthur was)？他是美國人，在第二次世界大戰中扮演了非常重要的角色(He was an American who played a very important role in World War II)。今天Bear老師要給你們介紹一篇他為兒子寫下的祈禱文(Today, I want to introduce to you a prayer that he wrote for his son)，現在，就讓Bear老師來念給你聽(Now, let me read it for you.) A Father's Prayer/為子祈禱文 Translator：Wú Xīzhēn/翻譯：吳奚真 Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid; one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory. 主啊，請陶冶我的兒子，使他成為一個堅強的人，能夠知道自己什麼時候是軟弱的；使他成為一個勇敢的人，能夠在畏懼的時候認清自己，謀求補救；使他在誠實的失敗之中，能夠自豪而不屈，在獲得成功之際，能夠謙遜而溫和。 Build me a son whose wishbone will not be where his backbone should be; a son who will know Thee and that to know himself is the foundation stone of knowledge. 請陶冶我的兒子，使他不要以願望代替實際作為；使他能夠認識主---並且曉得自知乃是知識的基石。 Lead him, I pray, not in the path of ease and comfort, but under the stress and spur of difficulties and challenge. Here let him learn to stand up in the storm; here let him learn compassion for those who fail. 我祈求你，不要引導他走上安逸舒適的道路，而要讓他遭受困難與挑戰的磨鍊和策勵。讓他藉此學習在風暴之中挺立起來，讓他藉此學習對失敗的人加以同情。 Build me a son whose heart will be clean, whose goal will be high; a son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men; one who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past. 請陶冶我的兒子，使他的心地純潔，目標高超;在企圖駕馭他人之前，先能駕馭自己；對未來善加籌畫，但是永不忘記過去。 And after all these things are his, add, I pray, enough of a sense of humor, so that he may always be serious, yet never take himself too seriously. Give him humility, so that he may always remember the simplicity of greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength. 在他把以上諸點都已做到之後，還請賜給他充分的幽默感，使他可以永遠保持嚴肅的態度，但絕不自視非凡，過於拘執。請賜給他謙遜，使他可以永遠記住真實偉大的樸實無華，真實智慧的虛懷若谷，和真實力量的溫和蘊藉。 Then I, his father, will dare to whisper, "I have not lived in vain." 然後，作為他的父親的我，才敢低聲說道：「我已不虛此生！」 小朋友，Bear老師知道這篇祈禱文對你來說可能有一點困難(The language of this prayer may be a little difficult for you)，但是，Bear老師希望你先欣賞這些優美的文字(but I hope that you will appreciate the beauty of the words first)，然後，Bear老師知道你一定有辦法去理解(and later you will find a way to understand the more difficult parts)。比如說，你可以問問師長，跟朋友討論，或查查字典(For example, you can ask your parents or teachers, discuss it with friends, or look it up in a dictionary)。 當你遇到困難時，你會害怕嗎？Bear老師希望你能勇敢面對困難，這時，你可以說： “I will be brave.” 意思是「我會勇敢的」。請跟Bear老師再說一次： “I will be brave.” 小朋友，Bear老師希望你能藉由這篇祈禱文思考思考你想成為怎麼樣的人(I hope you can use this prayer to reflect on who you want to be)。還有你知道父母曾經為你祈禱過什麼嗎(Do you know what your parents once prayed for you?)？你可以問問他們喔(You can ask them)。你呢？你想為父母祈禱什麼呢(And you, what prayer would you say for your parents)？八月八號父親節快到了，你可以把你的祈禱文寫下來給父親看看喔(Father’s day is coming on August the 8th, you can write your prayer down and share it with your father.) 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Could Flora be at Dog Bone Park)？讓我們繼續跟著保哥與樂樂一起尋找走失的狗狗小花(Let’s pick up on Bao and LeLe’s story, and try to find the lost dog Flora)。 樂樂：「我好擔心小花會被車子撞(I’m so worried that Flora will be hit by a car)，怎麼辦(what should I do)？(哭了起來) 」 保哥：「你先別太悲觀(Don’t expect the worst)。別哭了，我們快去狗骨頭公園看看吧(Come on, don’t cry, we’ll go to Dog Bone park)！」 樂樂：「嗯~~我平常都會帶小花到那裡去跟朋友玩耍、奔跑(I usually take Flora there to play and run around with her friends)，我覺得她一定在那裡(I feel sure she’s there)。」 保哥與樂樂準備穿越小巷前往狗骨頭公園，樂樂小跑步，想快速地繞過小巷裡暫停的一輛汽車。 Bao and LeLe set off through the little street towards Dog Bone Park, and LeLe darted quickly around a parked car 。 保哥：「小心(Be careful)！」 樂樂：「啊！嚇死我了(so scary)！我又差一點被撞到了(I almost got hit again)！」 幸好保哥又及時拉住樂樂，她才沒被剛好經過的摩托車撞上。 Luckily, Bao had grabbed LeLe in time, so she wasn’t hit by the passing scooter. 保哥：「你剛才那樣做是很危險的(Doing that was really dangerous)。巷子裡的空間狹小，要是行人突然出現在路上，車輛可能會因為不容易閃避而迎頭撞上(This alleyway is so small. If you run out into the road like that, oncoming cars could hit you because there’s no way for them to avoid you)，所以一定要先確認有沒有來車，才能繼續行走喔(Check whether there’s an approaching car before stepping out)。」 樂樂：「是！我記住了！謝謝(Sure! I’ll remember! Thank you)。」 過了不久，保哥和樂樂終於安全抵達了狗骨頭公園。樂樂著急地往公園裡看啊看。 Shortly, Bao and LeLe arrived at Dog Bone Park safely. LeLe looked anxiously around the park. 保哥：「你看到小花了嗎(Did you see Flora?)？」 樂樂：「嗯~~啊！我看到了，她在那裡(There, I see her)。小花！小花(Flora! Flora)！」 保哥：「我們過去找她吧(Let’s go to get her back)！」 樂樂：「不過她好像很緊張，好像不認得我了(But she seems nervous … like she doesn’t recognize me)。」 保哥：「別擔心，跟著我一步一步做(Don’t worry, just follow what I do)。」 為了不讓小花感到威脅，保哥帶著樂樂慢慢地靠近小花。 To make sure Flora didn’t feel threatened, Bao brought LeLe slowly towards Flora. 保哥：「眼睛不要直視小花(Don’t stare directly at Flora)，眼神要溫柔一點喔(and be gentle)。」 樂樂：「小花(Flora)！」 保哥：「噓~~小聲一點(not so loud)，還有，不要馬上摸小花的頭(And don’t touch her head right now)，你看她打哈欠的樣子，代表她有點緊張，再慢一點(You see how she is yawning? It means she’s a little nervous, so slow down a little)。」 樂樂：「小花~小花(Flora~ Flora)。」 保哥跟樂樂走到小花身邊輕輕蹲下，緩緩伸出手讓小花聞聞味道。 Bao and LeLe walked over to Flora and squatted down gently, then slowly stretched out their hands to let Flora sniff. 小花認出了樂樂，開心地撲向了樂樂的懷抱！ Flora recognized LeLe and happily jumped into her arms! 樂樂：「小花！小花(Flora! Flora)！」 保哥趁著這個時候幫小花繫上牽繩，然後把牽繩交到樂樂的手上。 Bao took the chance to help attach Flora’s leash, and then handed the leash to LeLe. 保哥：「不管小花多乖，愛她就要好好地繫好牽繩，並且讓她靠路邊走，這才是真正保護她的方法(However well-behaved she is, you need to make sure Flora is properly on her leash, and walk between her and the road. That’s the best way to protect her)。」 樂樂：「謝謝你一路陪伴並適時提醒我(Thank you for coming with me all this way and reminding me of things at the right time)，我以後一定會牽好牽繩(I will definitely keep hold of the leash in future)。」 保哥：「如果下雨天遛狗，也一定要記得穿亮色雨衣(If you’re walking your dog in the rain, you can wear a bright-coloured raincoat)，或把亮色的雨傘拿高一點，別擋住視線喔(or hold a bright-coloured umbrella higher – don’t block your view)。」 樂樂：「我一定會注意(For sure, I’ll pay attention)。」 保哥：「還有，遛狗的時候也要觀察地面的溫度，記得帶著水，並且避免太熱的時候出門喔(And do check the pavement temperature on a hot day – bring water, and avoid going out at all when it’s really hot)。」 樂樂：「我知道(I know)，而且，要記得撿狗大便，保持環境清潔(And we have to remember to keep the environment clean by scooping up our dog’s poop)。」 保哥：「沒錯！這樣才是好主人(Right! That’s a good pet owner)。」 就這樣，在保哥的幫助下，樂樂和小花萬無一失地度過了美好的一天。 And so, with Bao’s help, LeLe and Flora had a nice day together without a single mishap. 小朋友，你是不是很替樂樂與小花開心呢？這句話用英文可以怎麼說呢？ “I am so happy for you.” 意思是「我好替你們開心啊！」請跟Bear老師再說一次： “I am so happy for you.” 小朋友，生活中充滿了危機(sometimes in life things go badly wrong)，所以不管做什麼活動，除了小心以外，你也要做好萬全的準備(so whatever you’re doing, take care, and be fully prepared)。 小朋友，你喜歡這個故事嗎？現在，Bear老師想問你們一個問題，請在Bear老師的IG或臉書上留言寫下答案，前五位小朋友能獲得富邦產險準備的小禮物喔。不過，只限台灣地區，住在國外的小朋友真的不好意思喔~~ 請問，樂樂和保哥是在哪裡找到小花的呢？快去Bear老師的臉書或IG的本集貼文下方留言吧，記得寫英文喔！ 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

She is usually obedient, so I didn't use the leash)。結果忽然有一聲好大的喇叭聲，小花就被嚇得跑走了(Suddenly there was a loud horn, and Flora was scared and ran away)。」 保哥：「狗狗很容易被突發的聲音或事件驚嚇到而四處亂跑(Dogs can get easily frightened and run off if they’re startled by a loud noise or something like that)，所以沒有好好地使用牽繩對小狗來說是非常危險的事情(It’s quite dangerous for dogs not to use the leash properly)。」 樂樂：「我知道了(I know now)。可是現在怎麼辦(But what should I do now)？」 保哥：「現在最重要的就是趕快找回小花(The most important thing now is to find Flora as soon as possible)。不過我們也得趕快去準備小花的相片和協尋單(But we also have to prepare Flora’s photos and a missing notice as soon as possible)，提供給大家小花的基本資訊(and provide everyone with Flora‘s basic information)，像(such as)品種(breed)、性別(gender)、顏色(color)、特徵(characteristics)、晶片號碼(chip number)、走失日期、地點(When and where she disappeared)…什麼的(and so on)，對了，還有你家的連絡資訊(and also your home's contact information)，這樣能幫助我們更快地找到她(which will help us find her sooner)。」 樂樂：「嗯，謝謝保哥(Thank you, Bao)。」 保哥：「你放心(Don't worry)，有保哥在，保你萬無一失(I am here to protect you from everything)。」 保哥跟樂樂以最快的速度把協尋單印製好了以後，決定回到當初小花走失的水果店尋找線索，並且把協尋單發給附近的店家幫忙張貼(Bao and Lele printed the missing notices as soon as possible, and then they decided to go back to the fruit shop where Flora ran away to find clues. They gave the missing notices to nearby stores to help post them)。 保哥：「小心(Be careful!)！」 樂樂：「啊！嚇死我了(That was so scary)！」 保哥和樂樂站在十字路口準備過馬路時，因為樂樂站得太靠近馬路，差點就被正在轉彎的公車撞上(When Bao and Lele were standing at the intersection and were about to cross the road, because Lele was standing too close to the road, she was almost hit by a turning bus)，好險保哥及時把樂樂往後拉(Fortunately, Bao pulled Lele back in time)。 保哥：「在等待過馬路時，要記得站在人行道內側(When waiting to cross the road, remember to stand on the inside of the sidewalk)，並且與馬路保持至少三大步的距離，這樣才不會被轉彎的車輛撞到(and keep at least three big steps away from the road, so as not to be hit by turning vehicles)。」 樂樂：「我以為司機先生會注意到我(I thought the driver would notice me)。」 保哥：「車子越大，轉彎的時候輪子就會越靠近路邊，而且司機也更不容易看到車子後方的人(The bigger the car, the closer the wheels will be to the side of the road when turning, and it will be harder for the driver to see the people behind the vehicle)，所以非常危險，一定要保持距離(so it can be very dangerous and you must keep your distance)。」 樂樂：「喔~~我懂了(I got it)，謝謝，我下次一定會注意的(Thank you, I will definitely pay attention next time)。」 樂樂與保哥終於抵達了水果店(Lele and Bao finally arrived at the fruit shop)。樂樂回想起水果店的老闆常拿出客人不喜歡的醜蘋果送給小花吃，所以小花一定很喜歡老闆，說不定會跑來找老闆(Lele remembered that the shopkeeper at the fruit shop often gave Flora ugly apples that customers didn't want, so Flora liked the shopkeeper very much. Maybe she would run to find him)。 樂樂把協尋單拿給老闆看(Lele showed the notice to the shopkeeper)。 樂樂：「老闆，請問你看到小花了嗎(Sir, did you see Flora)？她的身上有一個米奇圖案的斑紋(She has a Mickey Mouse pattern on her body)。」 老闆：「等一下，我看看相片(Wait, let me look at the photo)…….我想想喔(Let me think)……，啊！我認得這個米奇圖案(I recognize this Mickey Mouse pattern)，這隻狗剛剛往那個方向跑走了(This dog just ran over in that direction)。」 樂樂：「往那個方向的話……有可能是小花最喜歡的『狗骨頭公園』(If it is that direction… it may be Flora‘s favorite "Dog Bone Park")。」 保哥：「老闆，你能幫我們張貼這張協尋單嗎(Sir, could you help us post this notice)？」 老闆：「沒問題(No problem)！希望你們快點找回心愛的狗狗(I hope you can find your beloved dog soon)。」 樂樂：「保哥，車子好多，好危險喔(Bao, there are so many cars, it's so dangerous)，我好擔心小花被車子撞了(I'm so worried that Flora might be hit by a car)，怎麼辦(what should I do)？ 」 小朋友，你聽過「馬路如虎口」這句話嗎(Have you heard the phrase "the road is like a tiger's mouth")？馬路非常危險(The road is very dangerous)，樂樂差一點被公車撞到(Lele was almost hit by a bus)，而且也因為她沒給小花繫好牽繩，現在擔心得不得了(and because she didn't leash Flora properly, she is very worried now)。你覺得在保哥的幫助下，樂樂能安然無恙地找到小花嗎(Do you think that with the help of Bao, Lele can find Flora safe and sound)？請等待下一集喔(Please wait for the next episode)。 還有，如果你要提醒別人小心，用英文，你可以怎麼說呢？ “Be careful！” 意思是「小心！」，請跟Bear老師再說一次： “Be careful！” 小朋友，讓我們祈禱樂樂與保哥平安順利地找到小花(Let’s pray that Lele and Bao can find Flora safe and sound)。 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

I see the things others have and want to have them all to myself. 當我感到忌妒時，我覺得自己像一隻巨大的、綠色的、憤怒的怪獸，一看到別人的東西就想占為己有。 When I’m feeling jealous, I feel like Mum and Dad love my little brother more than they love me. 當我感到忌妒的時候，我覺得爸爸和媽媽更愛弟弟。 Feeling jealous can sometimes make me do silly things to try and get someone to notice me. 有的時候，忌妒的感覺讓我想故意做一些傻事來得到別人的關注。 Some things just make me so jealous…like when someone has a new toy that I want…or when someone beats me in a running race…or when someone is getting more attention than I am. 有些事情讓我真的很忌妒，像是朋友有我想要的新玩具，賽跑時他跑贏了我，以及他得到比我更多的關注。 Feeling jealous makes me think about all the things that I don’t have and the things that I am not very good at. 忌妒的感覺讓我想起那些我沒有的東西，讓我想到那些我做不好的事。 This doesn’t make me feel very good, so……… 這種感覺一點也不好受，所以………… When I’m feeling jealous, I try to remember to appreciate the things I do have…and the things that I am good at… 當我感到忌妒時，我試著記得去感謝我所擁有的以及我所擅長的, like my favorite toys, 像是我最愛的玩具, and being good at skating, 我很會溜冰, and knowing that I am a really kind and caring friend. 知道自己是一個善良又有愛心的朋友。 Talking about why I’m feeling jealous makes me realise that my friends and family love me for just being me. 跟別人談談忌妒的感覺讓我明白：我的家人和朋友們愛我，是因為我就是我。 Jealousy is when it seems like others have a lot more or can do a lot more than I can. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t…and sometimes those some people may be jealous of me. 忌妒的時候好像別人擁有的比較多或能比我做得更多。但是，有的時候他們比我好，有的時候他們並不比我好。有的時候他們可能也忌妒我呢。 小朋友，你同意毛毛兔的看法嗎(Do you agree with this furry rabbit)？有些事物Bear老師真的好想得到可是卻得不到(There are things I really want but can’t get)，有的時候我也會傷心、生氣、忌妒(Sometimes I also feel sad, angry, and jealous)，怎麼辦呢(What should I do)？那個時候，我就會好好地想想自己的優點(At that time, I would think carefully about my own advantages)，想想自己能做什麼，然後盡力去做自己能做的事(I would think about what I can do, and then try my best to achieve it)，也因為我常常很專心地做自己能做的事，慢慢地就忘了忌妒的感覺了(And because I often focus on doing what I can do, I can slowly forget about feeling jealous)。 但是，如果，有一天，你真的需要讓別人知道你忌妒的感覺，用英文你可以怎麼說呢？ “I am jealous.” 意思是「我覺得忌妒」，請跟Bear老師再說一次 “I am jealous.” 小朋友，答應Bear老師，覺得忌妒的時候，看看自己所擁有的，想想自己的優點，並且去做自己能做的事喔(Promise me, when you feel jealous, look at what you have, think about your own advantages, and do what you can do)。 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Scamp: “Your sweater! No wonder you are cold. Your sweater is almost gone(你的毛衣！難怪你會冷。 你的毛衣都快沒了).” Beany: “My sweater snagged on your door hook. It must have unraveled(我的毛衣被你門上的勾子勾到了，一定是脫線了).” Scamp: “Then we are not lost(那我們沒有迷路)! We can follow the sweater yarn back to my door(我們可以順著毛線回到我家門口).” They started back through the woods, gathering up the unraveled yarn as they went(他們開始穿過樹林往回走，邊走邊收集散開的毛線). After a while, they saw a thin stream of smoke. It was coming from Scamp’s chimney(過了一會兒，他們看到了從皮皮家的煙囪飄散出來的細細的煙). Beany: “If you had not thought of following the yarn, we would never have found our way back(如果你沒想到跟著毛線走，我們就永遠找不到回家的路了).” Scamp: “If you had not snagged your sweater on my door, we would still be lost(如果你的毛衣沒被我家門上的勾子勾住，我們一定還在迷路). But here we are right at my doorway(可是我們現在到家門口了).” Beany: “We are back at your doorstep, but we have not found your nuts(我們到你家了，可是，我們沒找到你的堅果).” Scamp: “My doorstep! Now I remember! How convenient(我家門口！我現在想起來了！多方便啊)!” Beany: “What are you talking about(你在說什麼)?” Scamp: “My nuts(我的堅果). The square marked NUTS on the map is my doorstep(地圖上標有「堅果」的正方形就是我家門口). I buried my nuts under my doorstep so that they would be easy to find(我把我的堅果埋在我家門口，這樣很容易找到).” Beany: “Yes, it is the perfect place. It is only one step from your house(這真是個完美的地方，離你家只有一步的距離).” Scamp pulled up the stone step, and Beany began to dig(皮皮拉起石板，豆豆開始挖掘). The shovel thudded against something hard(鏟子碰到了堅硬的東西). They pulled up a chest filled with Scamp’s shiny nuts and carried it inside(他們拉出一個裝滿了皮皮的閃亮堅果的箱子，並且把它抬了進去). Soon the two friends sat by the fire cracking nuts and laughing and talking until late night(很快地，這兩個朋友就坐在火爐旁，邊吃堅果邊聊天，直到深夜). At last Beany said good-bye and hurried home through the snow(最後豆豆說了聲再見，然後穿過雪地匆匆地回到家). When he finally got into bed, he thought he had never been so ready for a long winter’s nap(當他終於上床睡覺時，他覺得自己從來沒有像現在這樣準備好要進入一個漫長的冬眠). 小朋友，你是不是終於放心了呢(Are you relieved)？皮皮實在是太健忘了(Scamp is really forgetful)，你知道嗎？在現實生活中，松鼠真的是非常健忘的動物喔(Do you know that in real life squirrels really are very forgetful animals?)。還有，豆豆出門的時候被勾子勾到了他的毛衣，當時他覺得有點倒楣(Also, Beany’s sweater snagged on the door when he was going out. He felt a little unlucky at that time)，沒想到卻因為這樣而幫助他們找到了回家的路(but he didn't expect it would help them find their way home)。你還記得第16集「塞翁失馬，焉知非福」的故事嗎(Do you still remember the story of episode sixteen "It's a blessing in disguise")？倒楣的事不都總是會帶來倒楣的結果(Unlucky things don't always lead to unlucky results)。我們不能控制發生的事，但是我們能做的就是不要隨便放棄，並且積極地找出解決問題的辦法(We can't control what happens, but what we can do is not give up easily and actively find solutions)。 小朋友，豆豆與皮皮是不是非常幸運呢？如果你也覺得自己很幸運，用英文可以怎麼說呢？ “I am so lucky！” 意思是「我好幸運啊！」請跟Bear老師再說一次： “I am so lucky！” 小朋友，希望你喜歡這個故事，也希望你能有一個像豆豆或皮皮這樣能幫助你、陪伴你的朋友(I hope you like this story, and I hope you can have a friend like Beany or Scamp who can help and accompany you)。 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Scamp: “We must find a tree with bright red leaves(我們必須找到一棵葉子鮮紅的樹). I drew the tree here to mark the spot(我畫這棵樹就是為了標記那個地方).” Beany: “Scamp, the fall leaves are gone(皮皮，秋天的樹葉都不見了). All the trees look the same in the snow(所有的樹在雪中看起來都一樣)! ” Scamp: “Well, I think the tree is over this way(我想那棵樹就在這個方向).” Scamp was heading for a dark part of the woods(皮皮朝著樹林中的陰暗處走去). They trudged through the snow for a long time(他們在雪地裡辛苦地走了很長時間). All the trees were bare leaves(所有的樹都光禿禿的), and Beany was thinking more and more of his warm bed(豆豆越來越想念他溫暖的床). Scamp: “We will have to forget about the tree(我們得忘了那棵樹). We will go to the next place on the map. The field of wildflowers(我們去地圖上的下一個有很多野花的地方吧). It should be simple to find the place where the wildflowers grow(找到長滿野花的地方應該很簡單). ” Beany: “In the snow(在雪中?)? Wildflowers don’t grow in the snow(野花不會在雪地裡生長).” Scamp: “I did not think of that when I drew the map(我畫地圖的時候沒有想到這一點). But if we go this way we will come to the place where the wildflowers used to be(但是，如果我們沿著這條路走，我們就會找到曾經開過野花的地方).” Beany: “I think it is the other way(我覺得是另一條路).” Scamp: “Oh, no, I am sure it is this way(哦！不，我確定是這條路。).” So they started off again, going deeper and deeper into the woods. They walked and walked and walked. (於是他們又出發了，向樹林裡越走越深。 他們走啊走啊走啊。) Beany: “It is useless to look for wildflowers that they are not here(如果沒有花了，再找也沒用). What is the next place on the map(地圖上的下一個地方是什麼)?” Scamp: “The river(是河流). All we have to do is find the place where we like to fish(我們只要找到我們喜歡釣魚的地方就好了).” Beany: “The river is frozen(河水結冰了)! There are no fishing places now(現在沒有釣魚的地方).” But Scamp was not listening(但是皮皮根本沒在聽). He was already pushing farther into the woods(他一直往樹林深處走去). Beany followed after Scamp, but his feet ached and he was cold(豆豆跟在皮皮後面，但他的腳又痛又冷). He thought of his warm bed and soft quilt(他想起了他溫暖的床和柔軟的被子). The snow began to fall again(雪又開始下了). The woods were dark and gloomy. The river was not in sight(樹林裡陰沉沉的，根本看不見河流) . Up ahead, Scamp suddenly came to a stop. Beany hurried to his side(忽然皮皮在前方停了下來，豆豆趕緊走到了他身邊). Beany: “What’s wrong now(現在怎麼了)?” Scamp: “I think we are lost. I don’t think we will ever find my nuts(我想我們迷路了，我們永遠找不到我的堅果了)!” Beany: “Nuts? What about finding our way home(堅果？我覺得我們現在應該先找到回家的路才對)? The snow has covered our tracks. We are lost and I am freezing(我們的腳印都被雪蓋住了，我們迷路了，我凍僵了).” 小朋友，你是不是也替他們擔心呢( Are you also worried about them)？他們應該怎麼辦呢(What should they do)？他們能不能平安地回家呢(Can they get home safely)？請等待下一集喔(Please wait for the next episode)！ 還有，你知道迷路的英文怎麼說嗎？ “I am lost.” 意思是「我迷路了」。請跟Bear老師再說一次： “I am lost.” 小朋友，在樹林裡迷路了，是非常危險的事情(Getting lost in the woods is very dangerous)。所以，如果你也要去樹林裡或山裡享受大自然，一定要做好萬全的準備喔( So, if you want to enjoy nature in the woods or mountains, be sure to be fully prepared!) 我們下次繼續聽「豆豆與皮皮」的故事喔(Let's continue to listen to the story of " Beany and Scamp " next time)！ 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

He put extra blankets on his bed and plumped his pillow(他在床上多鋪了一些毯子，拍了拍枕頭). Then he went to say good-bye to his friend, Scamp Squirrel(然後他去和他的松鼠朋友皮皮道別). As Beany came to Scamp’s doorstep and reached up to ring the bell, the door suddenly flew open(當豆豆來到皮皮家門口，伸手去按門鈴時，門突然開了). Scamp rushed out, bumped into Beany, and fell back through the doorway(皮皮衝了出來，撞到了豆豆，然後從門口跌回了屋子裡去). Scamp : “Beany! I was just going out to look for you, and here you are right on my doorstep(豆豆！我正要出去找你，你就出現在我家門口了). Come in come in! I have big plans for us today(進來進來！我今天給我們訂了很大的計劃。). ” Beany was squeezing inside(豆豆擠進了屋子裡). Beany : “But, Scamp, it is time for me to go to bed for the winter(但是，皮皮，我該上床冬眠了).” Scamp : “I will miss you, especially today, I thought we could go together(我會想你的，尤其是今天，我以為我們可以一起去的).” Beany : “Go where(去哪裡)?” Scamp : “ Hunting for nuts(去找我的堅果啊). It’s time for me to find the nuts I buried this fall(是時候去找我今年秋天埋下的堅果了). I will not have any food for the winter without nuts(如果沒有那些堅果，今年冬天我就沒有食物了).” Beany : “I cannot leave you without food(我不能讓你沒有食物). But….but how long will it take to find your nuts? Last year…(但是……但是找到你的堅果需要多久呢？去年…)” Scamp : “Forget last year. This year we will find my nuts in no time(別想去年了。今年我們很快就會找到我的堅果了).” Beany : “Oh, I am glad you remember where you hid them(我很高興你還記得你把它們藏在哪裡). ” Scamp : “But I don’t remember(但我不記得了).” Beany : “How are we going to find them(那我們要怎麼找)?” Scamp : “Just look(你看！). Have you ever seen anything as clever as this(你看過這麼聰明的東西嗎)?” cried Scamp, pulling a crumpled piece of paper from his coat pocket(皮皮大聲地說，並且從他的外套口袋裡掏出一張皺巴巴的紙). Beany : “Well, I’m not sure. What is it(嗯，我不確定那是什麼)?” Scamp : “A map(一張地圖). This fall I put all my nuts in one place, so it would not take so long to find them all(今年秋天我把所有的堅果都放在同一個地方，所以很快就能找到它們). Then I drew a map to lead me to them(然後我畫了一張地圖帶著我找到它們). All we have to do is follow the map. We will be like pirates looking for buried treasure(我們只要跟著地圖走。我們就像海盜一樣尋找被埋起來的寶藏).” Beany : “It doesn’t look exactly like a pirate’s map(它看起來不像海盜的地圖). Why is the paper all purple(為什麼這張紙都是紫色的)?” Scamp : “Because I spilled a bottle of blueberry juice on it(因為我把一瓶藍莓汁灑在上面了).” Beany : “I think the juice blurred the lines(藍莓汁把你畫的線都弄模糊了).” Scamp: “Oh, you are right. I will put in more lines to tidy it up(哦，你說得沒錯。我來多畫一點線條把它弄得更清楚).” He scribbled over the purple spots(他在紫色的斑點上畫呀畫). “Now, as you can easily see(現在就容易看得清楚了), we start right here and follow the lines until we come to the end, here(我們從這裡開始，沿著路線一直走到盡頭，就是這裡). That is where we will find my nuts(我們將在這裡找到我的堅果).” Scamp was pointing to a square with the word Nuts written inside(皮皮指著一個正方形，正方形裡面寫著「堅果」). Beany : “What does the squire mean(這個正方形代表什麼)?” Scamp: “I wish I could remember, but then we would not need the map(我真希望我記得，可是那我們就不需要地圖了). We will find out what it means when we get there(反正到了那裡就會知道這個正方形代表什麼了). Those nuts are hidden in a very clever place this year, and it is all right on the map(那些堅果今年藏在一個很聰明的地方，就在地圖上).” Beany tried to keep from yawning(豆豆努力忍著不打哈欠). He had a feeling that it would be a long time before he went to bed(他感覺到要過一段很長時間以後他才能去睡覺). Scamp: “I will carry the map, and you can carry the shovel(我拿地圖，你拿鏟子).” He trotted out the door into the frosty woods(皮皮小跑出了門，進入了結霜的樹林裡), while Beany got the shovel out of the hall closet(而豆豆則從壁櫥裡拿出鏟子). AS Beany was squeezing through Scamps little door, he bumped his head, snagged his sweater, and dropped the shovel on his foot(當豆豆擠出了皮皮家的小門時，他撞到了頭，勾到了他的毛衣，還把鏟子掉在了他的腳上). Scamp: “Come on! You will never find anything just standing there(快來啊！你一直站在那裡我們怎麼找啊)!” Beany hurried after Scamp, but not without thinking that they were off to a very bad start(豆豆急忙追上皮皮，但是也不能不擔心這個倒楣的開始). 小朋友，你是不是很想知道他們在樹林裡發生了什麼事呢(You really want to know what happened to them in the woods, right?)？請等待下一集喔(Please wait for the next episode)。 還有，如果你睡覺的時間到了，你要怎麼用英文說呢？ “It is time for me to go to bed.” 意思是「是時候去睡覺了」 請跟Bear老師再說一次： “It is time for me to go to bed.” 小朋友，你睡覺的時間到了嗎(Is it time for you to go to bed)？ 我們下次繼續聽「豆豆與皮皮」的故事喔(Let's continue to listen to the story of " Beany and Scamp " next time)！ 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Money can buy a bouquet, Cannot buy my happy tears, If you never surprise me. Money can buy many books, Cannot buy wisdom, If we read without hearts. Money can buy a piano, Cannot buy my painstaking practice, If no melody touches me. Money can buy the internet, Cannot buy connection, If we have no words to say. Money can buy the whole world, Cannot buy your understanding, If you don’t want to waste your time on me. 現在，Bear老師翻譯給你聽(Now, I will translate it for you)： 金錢的價值 錢買得到冰淇淋(ice cream)，卻買不到我甜蜜的微笑，如果沒有人與我分享。 錢買得到一束花(a bouquet)，卻買不到我快樂的眼淚，如果你從來不給我驚喜。 錢買得到很多書(many books)，卻買不到智慧，如果我們沒有用心去讀。 錢買得到一架鋼琴(a piano)，卻買不到我辛苦的練習，如果沒有旋律感動我。 錢買得到網路(the internet)，卻買不到人與人的連結，如果我們無話可說。 錢買得到整個世界(the whole world)，卻買不到你懂我的心，如果你不想為我浪費時間。 小朋友，你同意Bear老師的看法嗎(Do you agree with me)？你覺得錢買得到什麼？買不到什麼呢(What do you think money can buy or cannot buy)？你也可以試試看把你的想法寫下來喔(You can also try to write down your thoughts)。還有，對你來說，什麼是「無價之寶」呢(Also, what is a "priceless treasure" to you)？「無價之寶」的意思就是用錢也買不到的非常珍貴的東西("Priceless treasure" means something very precious that cannot be bought with money.) 母親節快到了(Mother's day is coming)，如果，你想讓媽媽知道，在你心裡，她有多麼珍貴，用英文，你可以怎麼說呢？ “You are priceless to me.” 意思是「對我來說，你是無價的。」 請跟Bear老師再說一次： “You are priceless to me.” 小朋友，還有什麼人或事物對你來說是無價的呢(Is there anyone or anything that is priceless to you)？請好好地珍惜你生命中的無價之寶喔(Please cherish the priceless treasure in your life)。 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Is this a golden egg)？一定是上天知道我太辛苦了，所以派了這隻鵝來幫我(God must have known that I was working too hard, so he sent this goose to help me)。」農夫趕緊把鵝抱回家去，給了牠最好的食物與生活環境(The farmer quickly took the goose home and gave it the best food and living environment)。神奇的是，那隻鵝真的每天下一顆金蛋(Miraculously, the goose really laid a golden egg every day)，而農夫也靠著賣金蛋，終於能過上吃飽喝足的生活了(and the farmer was finally able to live a life full of food and drink by selling the golden eggs)。 有一天，農夫心想(One day, the farmer thought)：「雖然我現在的日子過得不錯，但是，我的房子不夠大、不夠好(Although I am living a good life now, my house is not big enough and not good enough)，這隻鵝每天才下一顆金蛋，那我要等到什麼時候才能買大房子啊(This goose only lays one golden egg every day, so when will I be able to buy a big house)？如果能一次把鵝肚子裡的金蛋全部拿出來，然後 都拿去賣掉，就能馬上買一間大房子(If I can take all the golden eggs out of the goose’s belly at once, and then sell them all, I can buy a big house immediately)，剩下的錢還能拿去做生意(and use the remaining money to start a business)。這樣多好啊(How great it will be)！」農夫越想越心動(The more the farmer thought about it, the more he wanted to do it)。農夫說：「鵝啊~對不起啊~但是我現在就要更多錢 (goose~ I'm sorry~ but I want more money now) 。」然後，他居然真的把鵝給宰了(then he actually killed the goose)。沒想到，鵝的肚子裡，一顆金蛋都沒有(Unexpectedly, there was not a single golden egg in the belly of the goose)。失去了鵝的農夫，既後悔又心痛，只能回到以前辛苦工作並且窮苦的生活(The farmer lost his goose, regretted and heartbroken, and could only return to his hard-working and poor life.)，這個時候，他才明白，每天都有一顆金蛋的生活真的好幸福啊(At that moment, he realized that the life of having a golden egg every day is really happy)！ 小朋友，有個成語叫「一夜致富」，意思就是很快就能變得非常有錢(there is an idiom, "to get rich overnight", which means to become very rich very quickly)。你相信真的有人能一夜致富嗎(Do you believe that someone can get rich overnight)？如果今天有人告訴你他有一夜致富的辦法，你會相信他嗎(If someone told you today how to get rich overnight, would you believe him)？如果有一份工作，雖然會傷害他人，但是卻能一夜致富，你也願意做嗎(If there was a job that would hurt others but make you rich overnight, would you be willing to do it)？小朋友，你一定要好好地思考這些問題，並且想想這個農夫的故事(you must think about these issues carefully, and think about the story of this farmer)。想要更多錢並沒有錯(There is nothing wrong with wanting more money)，但是一定要心安理得、腳踏實地，而且還要有智慧(but you must have a conscience, be realistic, and be wise)，你覺得呢(what do you think)？ 如果你的朋友很貪心，你想勸他「別貪心」， 用英文可以怎麼說呢？ “Don’t be greedy.” 請跟Bear老師再說一次， “Don’t be greedy.” 小朋友，如果你希望將來能擁有財富，那麼你就得好好地培養自己的能力，並且思考幸福的定義與金錢的價值(If you want to have wealth in the future, then you have to cultivate your abilities well, and think about the definition of happiness and the value of money)。 我們下次見嘍(see you next time)。 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

After a while, he found a piece of delicious meat on the ground)，他心裡想(he thought)：「真是太幸運了(I’m so lucky)，我要回家好好地享受(I want to go home and enjoy it)。」於是他趕緊把那塊肉叼了起來，跑啊跑，想快點跑回家(So he quickly picked up the meat and started running, wanting to get home quickly)。終於要過河了，只要過了河，就到家了(He reached the river - he just had to cross the river, and he would be home)。於是他小心翼翼地走上了河上的小橋，當走到橋中間時，不經意地往河裡看了一下(So he cautiously walked up the small bridge over the river; when he got to the middle of the bridge, he happened to looked down into the river)，結果他看到有一條狗在水裡，嘴裡也咬著一塊好大的肉(and he saw a dog in the water with a big piece of meat in its mouth)。忽然，他有了一個想法(Suddenly, he had an idea)：「那塊肉好像比我的這一塊大一點(That piece of meat seems to be bigger than mine)，如果我對那隻狗大叫，說不定他會怕得丟下肉跑走(If I bark at that dog, maybe it will be afraid and drop the meat and run away)，這樣我就有兩塊肉了(so I will have two pieces of meat)！」 他越想越興奮(The more he thought about it, the more excited he became)，於是，他張開嘴大聲地吼(so he opened his mouth and barked loudly)：「汪、汪……(Woof, woof…) ！」結果，他一張開嘴，肉便從他的嘴裡掉了下去，「噗通」一聲，便沉到水裡不見了(Of course, when he opened his mouth, the meat fell from his mouth, and with a "plop" it sank into the water and disappeared)。這時他才發現，原來那隻狗是自己在水中的倒影(At that moment, he realized that the other dog was his own reflection in the water)。他傷心地哭了起來(He cried sadly)：「早知道我就不要那麼貪心了，好餓啊( If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t be so greedy. I'm starving )。」可是，一切都來不及了(But it was too late)。 小朋友，你是不是也替這隻狗感到可惜呢(Do you feel sorry for this dog)？其實，想要更多，想要更好，都是很正常的(In fact, it is normal to want more and better)，人類也因為想要過更富足、更享受的生活，所以有了更多更好的發明(Human beings have more and better inventions because we want to live a richer and more enjoyable life)。只要是靠自己的力量，並且不傷害他人，那麼，人人都有權利追求自己想要的生活(Everyone has the right to pursue the life they want as long as they rely on their own strength and do not harm others)。如果這隻狗能夠先回家填飽肚子，以後餓了，再靠自己的力量出去找更多食物，而不是搶別人的東西，那麼他就不會有這樣的下場了(If the dog could go home to fill his stomach first, and then go out to find more food on his own when he was hungry, instead of grabbing other people's things, then he would not end up like this)。 有一句話說(there is a saying)：「知足常樂(To be content is to be happy.)。」意思是，如果你知道自己擁有的已經足夠了，那麼，你就會常常感到快樂(It means that if you know that what you have is enough, then you will always be happy)。我們應該感激並且珍惜目前所擁有的一切(We should be grateful and cherish what we have now)。但是，如果你思考過後，發現真的需要更多，也記得千萬不可以傷害他人(However, if you think about it and find that you really need more, remember that you must not hurt others)。用誠實並且善良的方法所得到果實，才是最甜美的喔(The fruit you get in an honest and kind way is the sweetest)。 小朋友，你知道「知足常樂」的英文怎麼說嗎？ “To be content is to be happy.” 意思是，「知足就會快樂。」請跟Bear老師再說一次： “To be content is to be happy.” 小朋友，祝福你知足常樂(Wish you can be content and happy)，並且發展更好的能力去得到你需要的一切喔(and develop a better ability to get everything you need)！ 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

小朋友、大朋友久等了，謝謝大家耐心等候。如果需要完整逐字稿PDF文字檔或想知道更多關於每集的英語小知識，請追蹤Bear老師的FB「Bear老師的中英雙語故事」或 IG「bear.bilingual」。 Hello，this is teacher Bear。我是Bear老師。 小朋友，你聽過「酸葡萄心理」嗎(Have you heard of "sour grapes")？還有一句話說「吃不到葡萄說葡萄酸」(There is a saying, "That’s just sour grapes.")。這到底是什麼意思呢？讓Bear老師來說給你聽(What does this mean? Let me tell you)。 在一個很熱的夏天，有一隻正在四處尋找食物的狐狸(In a very hot summer, there was a fox who was looking for food everywhere)，牠努力找啊找，終於在不遠處發現了一棵葡萄樹(He searched hard and finally found a grapevine not far away)。當狐狸走近這棵葡萄樹，看到樹上結滿了一串串葡萄(When the fox approached the vine and saw the bunches of grapes)，狐狸心想(the fox thought)：「哇！這葡萄看起來實在香甜可口！(Wow! These grapes look really sweet and delicious!)」狐狸看著葡萄，忍不住一直流口水(The fox looked at the grapes and his mouth couldn't help watering)。狐狸努力地往上跳，往上跳，不停地將前爪伸直，卻連葡萄的邊邊都碰不到(The fox tried to jump up, and reached with his front paws, but he couldn't even get close to the grapes)。狐狸心想(the fox thought)：「這棵葡萄樹太高了…怎麼辦呢(This vine is too tall… what should I do)？好吧！我再多試幾次(all right! I will try again)！一定要吃到那美味的葡萄(I must eat those delicious grapes)！」狐狸繼續一直跳啊，跳啊(The fox kept jumping and jumping)。時間慢慢地過去了，樹上的鳥兒看見狐狸努力想吃葡萄卻吃不到的樣子，都忍不住笑了起來(Time passed, and the birds on the tree couldn't help laughing when they saw the fox trying hard to eat the grapes but couldn't)。狐狸覺得好丟臉啊，因此，牠假裝不在乎地說(The fox felt so ashamed, so he pretended not to care and said)：「哼！這葡萄一定還沒熟，肯定很酸(Huh! These grapes must be unripe, they must be very sour)！我才不吃呢(I won't eat them)。」就這樣，狐狸只好餓著肚子離開了(Eventually, the fox left hungry)。 小朋友，如果你是那隻狐狸，你會怎麼做呢(If you were the fox, what would you do)？其實，如果狐狸願意勇敢地請求鳥兒的幫助，或許，牠就能吃到美味的葡萄(In fact, if the fox was willing to bravely ask the birds for help, maybe he could eat delicious grapes)，而且，說不定其實鳥兒也很樂意幫助牠喔(and maybe the birds were also willing to help)。當我們的能力不夠時，常把別人的反應看得太嚴重而覺得丟臉(When we are not capable enough, we often take other people's reactions too seriously and feel ashamed)，但其實這樣反而限制了自己的發展，也可能會失去很好的機會(but in fact, this limits our own development and we may miss good opportunities)。狐狸有狐狸的長處，鳥兒有鳥兒的長處(The fox has strengths, and the birds also have their own strengths)。這次，如果狐狸能請求鳥兒的幫助，將來，說不定鳥兒也有需要狐狸幫助的時候(In this situation, if the fox asked the bird for help, maybe the bird would also need the fox's help in the future)。所以，如果有一天碰到自己能力不足的情況，記得要勇敢地請求幫助(So, if one day you encounter a situation where you are not capable enough, remember to ask for help bravely)；而看到別人能力不足的時候，你可以主動問問對方需不需要幫忙(and when you see that others are not capable enough, you can take the initiative to ask the other party if they need help)，並且記得千萬別取笑他人喔(and remember not to make fun of others)。 小朋友，如果有一天你需要幫助，你可以怎麼用英文請求別人的幫助呢？ “Could you help me？” 意思是：你能幫助我嗎？請跟Bear老師再說一次： “Could you help me？” 如果你看到需要幫助的人，你想問問他需不需要幫助，用英文怎麼說呢？ “Do you need help?” 意思是：你需要幫助嗎？請跟Bear老師再說一次： “Do you need help?” 小朋友，希望你碰到困難時，能勇於求助(I hope you will have the courage to ask for help when you encounter difficulties)，千萬不要有「酸葡萄心理」喔(and don't have that "sour grapes" feeling)。 我們下次見嘍(see you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

小朋友、大朋友久等了。不過你們知道Bear老師不會忘記的，謝謝大家耐心等候。如果需要完整逐字稿PDF文字檔或想知道更多關於每集的英語小知識，請追蹤Bear老師的FB「Bear老師的中英雙語故事」或 IG「bear.bilingual」。 背景音樂：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjE-l1PoEnQ Hello, this is teacher Bear. 我是Bear老師。小朋友，你已經聽過Bear老師的故事了嗎？你喜歡那些故事嗎？英文聽不懂怎麼辦呢？別擔心(Don’t worry)，學新的語言本來就需要時間。你啊~多聽幾次，慢慢地，有一天，你一定自然就懂了。試試看喔！加油(You can do it)！ 過幾天4月5號是清明節(In a few days, April 5th is Tomb Sweeping Day)，「Tomb Sweeping Day」的意思是「打掃墳墓的日子」。在清明節的時候，很多華人會去掃墓、祭祖(During Tomb Sweeping Day, many Chinese will go to visit the graves of their ancestors to pay respects)，你家也一樣嗎(Is it the same in your family)？今天Bear老師就來給你們介紹一首跟清明節有關的唐詩〈清明〉(Today I will introduce to you a Tang Dynasty poem "Qīngmíng" related to Tomb Sweeping Day)。 寫這首詩的詩人叫杜牧(The poet who wrote this poem is called Dù Mù)。 現在就讓我們來聽聽這首詩(Now let's listen to this poem)： 〈清明〉清明時節雨紛紛，路上行人欲斷魂。借問酒家何處有，牧童遙指杏花村。 什麼意思呢(What does it mean)？ 清明時節雨紛紛 意思是：清明節前後的那些日子裡，雨下個不停(During the days around Tomb Sweeping Day, it rains non-stop )。小朋友，清明節那幾天你觀察一下，是不是真的下雨(Around Tomb Sweeping Day, please observe whether it’s really raining)。 路上行人欲斷魂 意思是：在路上走的那些行人都非常地悲傷(Those pedestrians** **walking on the road are very sad)。為什麼悲傷呢(Why they are so sad)？因為他們去掃墓的時候，想起了過世的親人(Because when they went to sweep the tomb, they thought of their relatives who are gone)。 借問酒家何處有 意思是：我想問哪裡有賣酒的地方(I want to ask : where is the wine-seller?)。其實啊，杜牧很喜歡喝酒(Actually, Dù Mù liked to drink very much)。不過在古代，這是很平常的習慣(But in ancient times, this was a very common habit)，而且杜牧是成年人，小朋友不可以學喔(And Dù Mù is an adult, so you kids please don’t learn it)。 牧童遙指杏花村 意思是：放牧牛、羊的孩子告訴我，杏花村那兒賣酒(The child who is grazing cattle and sheep points into the distance, and tell me that Apricot Blossom Village sells wine)。杏花是一種在春天開的花，杏花村就是開滿了杏花的村子(Apricot blossom is a kind of flower that blooms in spring, and Apricot Blossom Village is a village full of apricot blossoms)。 小朋友，掃墓的時候，你是不是看到很多人因為思念親人而傷心難過呢(When you visit the grave, do you notice many people are sad because they miss their loved ones)？可是，不管我們再傷心，過世的親人也不可能再活過來(However, no matter how sad we are, it is impossible for our deceased relatives to come back to life)，這個時候應該怎麼辦呢(What should we do at this time)？你看，詩人杜牧建議我們一個好辦法( See, the poet Dù Mù suggested a good way for us)，那就是去找找能讓自己快樂的事物(that is to find things that can make us happy)，比如說，詩人杜牧就決定在這麼傷心的時候，去找一個地方，好好地享受美酒(For example, the poet Dù Mù decided to find a place to enjoy good wine when he was so sad)。 還有，你覺得真的有像杏花村這樣的一座村子嗎(Also, do you think there really was a village like Apricot Blossom Village)？還是詩人杜牧想像的一個像春天一樣，充滿新生命的地方呢(Or was it a place full of new life, like springtime, as imagined by the poet Dù Mù)？詩人杜牧覺得清明節雖然是一個傷心的日子(The poet Dù Mù felt that although Tomb Sweeping Day was a sad day)，可是他不願意一直活在傷心當中，而是去找生命的樂趣與新希望(he didn’t want to live in sadness all the time, but sought the joy and new hope in life)。小朋友，你同意他的做法嗎(Do you agree with him)？ 現在，讓我們來複習這首詩(Now, let's review this poem)。 〈清明〉 清明時節雨紛紛，路上行人欲斷魂。借問酒家何處有，牧童遙指杏花村。 你記住了嗎(Do you remember it already)？如果還沒，別擔心(If not, don’t worry)。多念幾次，你就會記住了(You will remember it if you read it more)。 小朋友，如果有一天你的朋友失去了親人，你想表達你的同情(sympathy)，用英文，可以怎麼說呢？ “I’m sorry for your loss.” 意思是「對於你的失去，我很遺憾」。 請跟Bear老師再說一次。 “I’m sorry for your loss.” 小朋友，希望你去掃墓的時候，不要太難過(I hope you won’t feel too sad when you go to visit and sweep the grave)，想想快樂的事(try to think about happy things)，相信過世的親人在天上看到你開心，他們也會開心喔(I believe that when your deceased relatives see you happy, they will be happy in heaven too)。 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

抱歉讓小朋友、大朋友久等了。Bear老師最近因學校突發事件而特別忙碌，加上身體微恙，所以遲了一些。謝謝大家耐心等候。如果需要PDF文字檔或想知道更多關於每集的英語小知識，請追蹤Bear老師的FB「Bear老師的中英雙語故事」或 IG「bear.bilingual」。 背景音樂：https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcaiM3fYpGw Hello, this is Teacher Bear, 我是Bear老師。 小朋友，你知道嗎？在2000多年以前的中國，有一個哲學家叫莊子(In China more than 2,000 years ago, there was a philosopher named Zhuāngzǐ)，他常常用小故事來告訴人們一些道理(He often used short stories to describe some principle)。Bear老師今天就來跟你們說其中的一個故事(Today I am going to tell you one of the stories)。 從前有一個國家叫魯國，有一天，皇宮附近飛來了一隻鳥(A long time ago, there was a country called Lu. One day, a bird flew near the king’s palace)。魯王從來沒見過這種鳥，以為是神鳥，就派人把牠抓了起來，並且把牠養在了廟裡(King Lu had never seen this kind of bird before. He thought it was a divine bird, so he sent someone to catch it and keep it in the temple)，魯王覺得這樣就沒有人能傷害那隻鳥了(King Lu thought that in this way no one could harm the bird)。此外，魯王還要求樂師每天演奏音樂給牠聽，讓廚師做最好的菜給牠吃(King Lu also required musicians to play music for it every day, and asked the chef to cook the best dishes for it to eat)。魯王說：「給牠最好的(Give it the best)。」可是因為這隻鳥失去了自由，很不快樂(But because the bird had lost its freedom, it was very unhappy)。而且，人類的音樂對牠來說只是奇怪的噪音，再加上，人類的食物根本不適合牠( Human music was just a strange noise to it, and human food was not suitable for it at all)，結果那隻鳥嚇得精神失常，也吃不下東西，最後，只活了三天就死了(The bird was so scared that it became insane and couldn't eat. In the end, it only survived for three days)。 小朋友，聽了這個故事以後，你覺得莊子想要告訴我們什麼呢(After hearing this story, what do you think Zhuāngzǐ wanted to tell us)？你是不是覺得很奇怪，魯王明明給了那隻鳥最好的照顧，為什麼那隻鳥還是死了呢(Do you find it strange that the king already gave the bird the best care, and yet the bird still died)？那是因為魯王用自己的方式養鳥，而不是用適合鳥的方式來養鳥，最後造成了這個悲傷的結果(That's because King Lu raised the bird in his own way, not in a way suitable for the bird, which finally caused this sad result)。就好像，你覺得巧克力很好吃，所以你想給小狗、小貓吃(It’s like this: you think chocolate is delicious, so you want to give it to a dog or a cat)，可是你知道嗎？巧克力對小狗、小貓來說卻是毒藥，他們吃了是會中毒的(But did you know? Chocolate is poison for dogs and cats, and they will be poisoned if they eat it)。 我們常常主觀地認為自己喜歡的事，別人也一定會喜歡(We often subjectively think that what we like will be liked by others)，結果卻常常不如我們預期(but the result is often not as good as we expected)。Bear老師覺得最好的方式就是尊重別人的想法，多多了解他人的需求(I think that the best way is to respect other people's ideas and learn more about their needs)，這樣能幫助你做出更好的決定(which can help you make better decisions)。 小朋友，你是不是想說：「父母或老師常用我不喜歡的方式對我。」(Do you want to say: "Parents or teachers often treat me in a way that I don't like.”) Bear老師覺得你先別難過或生氣 (I think that you don’t need to be sad or angry)，因為，師長的出發點是善意的，師長想用他們覺得最好的方式對你(Because the parents or teachers’ starting point is kind, and they want to use the best way they know for you)，只是他們可能不夠瞭解你，所以造成了反效果(But they might not know you well enough, so it has the opposite effect)。這個時候，你應該怎麼辦呢(Then what should you do)？Bear老師覺得你可以試試看把你的感覺說出來，好好地跟師長溝通(I think that you can try to express your feelings and communicate with your parents and teachers properly)。如果還是沒有用，你也可以試著問問其他長輩的意見，或者多跟同學、朋友聊聊(If it still doesn't work, you can also try to ask other elders for their opinions, or talk to your classmates and friends more)，相信你一定能找到最好的辦法(I believe you will be able to find the best way)。 小朋友，如果你想婉轉地拒絕別人的善意，並且讓他知道這不是你需要的，用英文，你可以怎麼說呢？ “Thank you very much, but it’s not what I need.” 意思是，「非常謝謝你，可是這不是我需要的。」 請跟Bear老師再說一次： “Thank you very much, but it’s not what I need.” 小朋友，希望你能夠學會尊重他人，也希望當你覺得不受到尊重時，能夠有勇氣跟別人溝通(I hope you can learn to respect others, and I hope you can have the courage to communicate with others when you feel disrespected)。Bear老師知道學會這些並不容易，但是，相信慢慢地，你一定能做到( I know that it is not easy to learn these things, but I believe that you will be able to do it little by little)。 小朋友，你喜歡莊子的故事嗎？像「EP.22井底之蛙」、「EP.23夏蟲不可語冰」都是莊子說過的故事喔，Bear老師以後再說別的給你們聽。 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

歡迎大家跟Bear老師一起學英文，也多了解中華文化。由於Bear老師還有學校教職，比較忙碌，因此每7~10天才更新一次喔！如果需要PDF文字檔或想知道更多關於每集的英語小知識，請追蹤Bear老師的FB「Bear老師的中英雙語故事」或 IG「bear.bilingual」。 Hello, this is teacher Bear，我是Bear老師。 小朋友，你知道什麼是「誤會」嗎(Do you know what "misunderstanding" is)？你誤會過別人，或是被別人誤會過嗎(Have you misunderstood others, or been misunderstood by others)？如果發生了誤會，你覺得最好應該怎麼辦呢(If a misunderstanding occurs, what do you think is the best way to handle it)？最近小兔子婷婷也誤會了她的新朋友，害自己好傷心啊(Recently, the little rabbit Tingting misunderstood her new friend, making herself very sad)。如果你是她，你會怎麼做呢(What would you do if you were her)？ 現在我們聽聽那天到底發生了什麼事(Now let's listen to what happened that day)： 那一天，天氣真好，小兔子婷婷在草原上跳著跳著，在不遠處，她看到了她上個月才認識的新朋友土撥鼠波波(One day, the weather was really nice, and the little rabbit Tingting was jumping on the grass. Not far away, she saw her new friend Bobo the groundhog that she met only last month)。 婷婷：波波，你好(Hello, Bobo)！你在那裡做什麼啊(What are you doing there)？ 但奇怪的是，波波完全沒有反應(the strange thing is that Bobo didn't respond at all)，於是婷婷往波波那兒跳了過去，但就在同時，波波卻往另一個方向跑走了(so Tingting jumped over to Bobo, but at the same time, Bobo ran away in the other direction)，婷婷加快腳步追了上去，一不注意，卻掉進了一個很深的洞裡，跳不出來了(Tingting jumped faster to catch up. Suddenly, she fell into a deep hole and couldn't jump out)。婷婷很害怕，她想大聲叫波波回來救她，可是，她也想 (Tingting was scared, she really wanted to call Bobo to come back and save her, but she also thought)：「這一定是波波的惡作劇(This must be a prank by Bobo)，他一定不喜歡我，所以故意挖了這個洞讓我掉進來 (he must not like me, so he dug this hole on purpose to make me fall in)，難怪他不但不理我，還跑走了(no wonder he ignored me and ran away)。(哭起來)怎麼辦(What should I do)？為什麼他不喜歡我(Why doesn’t he like me)？為什麼他要害我(Why does he want to hurt me)？(越哭越大聲)」忽然，婷婷聽到了小象康康的聲音(Suddenly, Ting Ting heard the voice of the Little Elephant Kangkang)。 康康：婷婷，原來是你在哭啊(Tingting, so it’s you crying there!)，你怎麼掉到獵人的陷阱裡了(how did you fall into the hunter's trap)？ 康康伸長了鼻子，把婷婷拉了出來(Kangkang stretched out her nose and pulled Tingting out)。 康康：別哭了(Don't cry)，現在你安全了(you are safe now)。 婷婷：(哭)是波波害我的(Bobo hurt me)！ 康康：波波？應該不是(Bobo? I don’t think so)，這是獵人的陷阱(this is a hunter's trap)。 婷婷：一定是他，一定是他(It must be him, it must be him)！(繼續哭) 康康：如果你不相信，我建議你明天好好地找他談一談(If you don't believe me, I suggest you have a good talk with him tomorrow)。 隔天，婷婷在池塘邊碰到了波波(The next day, Tingting met Bobo by the pond)，她很想鼓起勇氣去打招呼，但是想到波波的惡作劇，她轉頭就想跑走(She really wanted to muster up the courage to say hello, but thinking of Bobo's prank, she turned her head and wanted to run away)，忽然波波叫住了她(but suddenly Bobo called and stopped her)。 波波：婷婷，你怎麼剛來就要走(Tingting, why are you leaving right after you arrived)？你要去哪裡(where are you going)？ 婷婷：哼！我知道你要害我，所以，我不敢靠近你(Huh! I know you want to hurt me, so I don’t dare to be close to you)。 波波：我為什麼要害你(Why would I want to hurt you)？ 婷婷：那昨天我叫你，你為什麼不理我？還跑走了(I called you yesterday. Why did you ignore me and run away)？你害我掉進你挖的洞裡(Then I fell into the hole you dug)。 波波：真的嗎(Really)？我沒聽到啊(I didn't hear you)！而且昨天我也沒有挖洞啊(And I didn't dig a hole yesterday)！ 婷婷：那你為什麼跑走(Then why did you run away)？ 波波：因為我聽到附近有聲音(Because I heard a sound nearby)，我以為是獵人來了，所以要趕快跑啊(I thought it was a hunter coming, so I had to run quickly)！ 婷婷：喔~~我誤會你了(Oh~~ I misunderstood you)。對不起(Sorry)。 波波：沒關係(It doesn't matter)，你一定是掉進獵人的洞裡了(You must have fallen into the hunter's hole)。你還好嗎？有沒有受傷(Are you alright? Are you injured)？ 婷婷：幸好康康經過救了我(Fortunately, Kangkang passed by and saved me)。放心，我沒事了(Don't worry, I'm fine)。 波波：下次不要自己胡思亂想了(Try not to think like that next time)，有問題隨時問我喔(If you need to talk to me about anything, just ask)。 婷婷：嗯，一定(Sure)。 小朋友，在你的生活中，有沒有發生過類似的情況呢(Has anything like this happened in your life)？如果你是婷婷，是不是也會誤會波波呢(If you were Tingting, would you also misunderstand Bobo)？我們常常會因為不夠了解，或沒有自信，所以胡思亂想，誤會了對方(We often make bad assumptions and misunderstand each other because we don't understand enough or have no self-confidence)。小朋友，你覺得避免誤會最好的辦法是什麼呢(what do you think is the best way to avoid misunderstanding)？Bear老師覺得可以好好地找對方談一談(I feel that you can have a good talk with that person)。如果你好好地找對方談了以後，結果還是讓你失望，這個時候，你再決定應該怎麼做。(If you have a good talk with that person and the result still disappoints you, then you’ll need to decide what to do about that)。 如果，你要跟對方說明「這真的是一個誤會，請聽我解釋。」，用英文，你可以怎麼說呢？ “This is really a misunderstanding, please let me explain.” 意思是「這真的是一個誤會，請聽我解釋。」，請跟Bear老師再說一次喔： “This is really a misunderstanding, please let me explain.” 小朋友，避免誤會或解決誤會還有很多辦法(There are many ways to avoid or resolve misunderstandings)，Bear老師希望你能多跟長輩談一談，相信你一定會有收穫的(Hope you can talk to your elders more. I believe you will learn something for sure)。 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Jasper：喔~~所以如果我一直假裝我的成績很好，偷偷改分數，我的成績就會真的變好嗎(So if I keep pretending my grades are good, and secretly change the score, will my grades really get better)？ Amy：當然不可以欺騙(Of course you can't cheat)！這句話的意思是你應該先相信你自己做得到，然後努力試著去做，最後就會變成真的(This saying means that you should first believe that you can do it, and then try hard to do it, and finally it will become true)。 Jasper：可是我怕我做不到(But I'm afraid I can't make it)。 Amy：所以你得先假裝(So you have to fake it first)。 我知道你很害怕，可是你得先假裝你自己不害怕，最後你就真的不怕了(I know you're scared, but you have to pretend you're not scared first, and then you won’t be)。 Jasper：可是如果最後成績還是不好呢？我怕自己是真的很笨(But what if the final result is still not good? I'm afraid I'm really stupid)。 Amy：那你可以試試看別的事啊(Then you can try something else)！誰說成績是最重要的，我看你打籃球打得很好啊(Who said grades are the most important thing, I see you play basketball very well)！我爸爸說打籃球的時候腦子裡要想著策略，那些球員一定也很聰明(My dad said when you play basketball you need a strategy in your head, so those players must be very smart too)。 Jasper：謝謝你，我一定會試試看(Thanks, I’ll definitely try)。 Amy：不客氣，我會為你加油(You're welcome, I will cheer for you)。 Jasper：你知道我還有什麼夢想嗎(Do you know what else I dream of)？ Amy：說來聽聽吧(Tell me)！ Jasper：我想像超人一樣在天上飛(I want to fly in the sky like Superman)，從今天起，我要fake it till I make it. Amy：欸~~夢想實不實際也很重要喔(It's important to have dreams that are practical)！你永遠不可能像超人一樣飛(You'll never be able to fly like Superman)。 Jasper：畢馬龍效應(Pygmalion Effect)！Fake it till you make it. 現在我覺得沒有不可能的事(Now I feel like nothing is impossible)！ Amy：好吧(All right~~~)~~~ 小朋友，我們一起說： “Fake it till you make it.” 請跟 Bear老師再說一次： “Fake it till you make it.” 「Fake it」就是「假裝」，「make it」就是「做到」。「Fake it till you make it.」意思就是先假裝你能做到，然後一直努力，最後你就真的能做到。但是記得喔，這裡的「假裝」並不是「要你去騙人」，而是「先相信你自己會做到」。還有，重點是「Make it」，所以「努力去做」才是最重要的喔。 Fake it till you make it. Believe in yourself. 相信你自己，You can do it. 加油！ 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Or do you have other ideas)？請多思考思考(Please think about it)，多跟別人談談喔(and talk to others)。 小朋友，如果有人為你犧牲自己的利益，你能怎麼用英文謝謝他呢？你可以說： “Thank you for the sacrifice you made for me.” 請跟Bear老師再說一次喔： “Thank you for the sacrifice you made for me.” 小朋友，你大概還沒有情人(You probably don't have a lover yet)，但是你一定非常祝福情人們都能幸福快樂地在一起，對不對(but you must wish all lovers to be together happily, right)？Bear老師祝福你現在努力充實自己，將來才能有智慧找到最適合你的情人喔(I hope you can work hard to enrich yourself now, so that you will have the wisdom to find the most suitable lover for you in the future)。 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Although he doubted what the fairy said, he still told everyone to hurry up and prepare lanterns and fireworks)。 農曆一月十五號，月圓之夜到了，家家戶戶掛起了燈籠，放起了煙火(On the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, the night of the full moon came, every household hung up lanterns and set off fireworks)。這時(At this time)，火神正好路過(Vulcan happened to pass by)，在天上看到那座村子紅通通的，還噴出火花，心想(he saw the village from the sky, it looked red and was sending up sparks, and he thought )：「這座村子怎麼自己燒起來啦(How did the village set itself on fire)？哼！活該(They had it coming)。」於是就不再想報仇的事了(So Vulcan stopped thinking about revenge)。 就這樣，村民們平安地活了下來(In this way, the villagers survived safely)。為了紀念這個特 別的日子(To commemorate this special day)，後來到了每年的農曆一月十五日，家家戶戶就掛燈籠、 放煙火(the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year, every family hangs lanterns and sets off fireworks)。最後(Eventually)，就變成了賞花燈和煙火秀(this became a festival of enjoying beautiful lanterns and fireworks shows)。所以，當我們慶祝元宵節的時候，也別忘了提醒自己感謝那些原諒我 們，以及善良幫助我們的人喔(When we celebrate the Chinese Lantern Festival, it is a reminder to ourselves to thank those who forgive us and those who kindly help us)。小朋友，也希望你思考思考，報 仇真的是好辦法嗎(I also hope you will think about this, is revenge really a good way)？試著多跟別人討 論討論喔(Try to discuss with others)。 小朋友，如果你想邀請朋友一起去賞花燈，看煙火，用英文，你可以怎麼說呢？ “Let's enjoy the beautiful lanterns and the fireworks together！” 意思是「讓我們一起去賞花燈、賞煙火。」 “lantern”是「燈籠」的意思，因為「元宵節」也叫「燈節」，所以英文我們說“Chinese Lantern Festival”，意思是「華人的燈節」。 「讓我們一起去賞花燈、賞煙火。」這個句子請跟Bear老師再用英文說一次喔。 “Let's enjoy the beautiful lanterns and the fireworks together！” 小朋友，祝你元宵節快樂(I wish you a happy Chinese Lantern Festival)！ 我們下次見嘍(see you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

My older brother’s animal is Rabbit, so he is twelve years old)。 Jasper：為什麼屬兔的孩子今年十二歲(Why is a child born in the Year of the Rabbit twelve years old)？ Amy：因為十二生肖就是每十二年循環一次啊(Because the Chinese zodiac cycles every twelve years)。 Robin：Amy，那你屬什麼( Amy, what is your Chinese zodiac animal )？ Amy：我屬馬(My Chinese zodiac animal is Horse)。 Robin：所以你今年九歲(So you are nine years old)。 Emma：哇！你算得好快啊(Wow! You calculate so fast)！ Amy：：其實你只要知道十二生肖的順序，就能很快算出年紀喔(Actually, as long as you know the order of the Chinese zodiac, you can quickly calculate someone’s age)。 Jasper：十二生肖的順序是什麼啊(What is the order of the Chinese zodiac)？ Robin：就是「鼠、牛、虎、兔、龍、蛇、馬、羊、猴、雞、狗、豬」(It means "Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig")。我屬龍，我今年十一歲(My Chinese zodiac animal is Dragon and I am eleven years old)。 Jasper：我屬蛇(My Chinese zodiac animal is Snake)。 Robin：所以你今年十歲(So you are ten years old this year)。 Jasper：沒錯(That’s right)。 Emma：我屬羊(My Chinese zodiac animal is Goat)。 Robin：所以你今年八歲(So you are eight years old this year)。 Emma：是的(Yes)。 Amy：我媽媽屬龍(My mom’s Chinese zodiac animal is Dragon)，所以明年她四十八歲，今年她四十七歲(so next year she will be forty-eight, and this year she is forty-seven)。 Jasper：喔~~我懂了(Oh~~I see)，所以屬兔的人今年可能是十二歲、二十四歲、三十六歲、四十八歲、六十歲，或七十二歲(so people whose Chinese zodiac animal is Rabbit may be twelve, twenty-four, thirty-six, forty-eight, sixty or seventy-two years old this year)。 Emma：哇！你的數學真好(Wow! Your math is really good)。 Jasper：哪裡哪裡(It's nothing)，你現在才念二年級，剛學乘法不久(You are only in the second grade now, and you have just learned multiplication not long ago)。以後你也會很厲害(Your multiplication will be great in the future too)。 Amy：你們覺得生肖跟個性有關係嗎(Do you think the Chinese zodiac has anything to do with personality)？ Robin：我覺得沒有(I don't think so)，因為我妹妹也屬羊，可是她的個性跟Emma的很不一樣(because my younger sister’s Chinese zodiac animal is also Goat, but her personality is very different from Emma's)。 Jasper：我聽媽媽說，生肖跟運氣有關係(I heard from my mother that the Chinese zodiac has something to do with luck)，比如說，今年屬兔的人「犯太歲」，所以要特別小心(For example, people whose Chinese zodiac is Rabbit "offend the God of Tai Sui" this year, so they should be very careful)。 Amy：對，所以今年我媽媽去廟裡幫我哥哥「安太歲」(Yes, so this year my mother went to the temple to help my older brother "pacify the God of Tai Sui")。 Emma：犯太歲(To offend the God of Tai Sui)？安太歲(To pacify the God of Tai Sui)？那是什麼(What’s that)？ Jasper：其實我也不太懂(Actually, I don't quite understand either)。 Robin：在中華文化中，「十二生肖」有很多學問，我們慢慢學(In Chinese culture, there is a lot of knowledge about the "Chinese zodiac", let’s learn little by little)。 Amy：嗯~~我們一起慢慢學 (Let's learn together little by little)。可是也不可以太迷信(But don't be too superstitious)。 Jasper：沒錯(That’s right)！ 小朋友，你屬什麼呢(What is your Chinese zodiac animal)？你還記得怎麼用英文來說十二生肖的動物嗎？鼠(Rat)、牛(Ox)、虎(Tiger)、兔(Rabbit)、龍(Dragon)、蛇(Snake)、馬(Horse)、羊(Goat)、猴(Monkey)、雞(Rooster)、狗(Dog)、豬(Pig) 我們用英文再說一次喔！ Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig 小朋友，你知道你的家人屬什麼嗎(Do you know what are your families’ Chinese zodiac animals )？快去問問他們吧(Go to ask them)！我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Everyone called it the "Nian Monster")。在每年農曆12月30號除夕的晚上，牠會從海裡爬出來找東西吃(Every year on the night of New Year's Eve, on December thirtieth in the lunar calendar, it would crawl out of the sea to find something to eat)，只要看到什麼活著的東西，都會吃下肚子裡去(It would eat anything alive it saw )。 這一天，農曆12月30號又到了，一大早，大家忙著往山裡面跑，就是希望年獸來的時候不要被牠吃了(December thirtieth of the lunar calendar came again. Early in the morning, everyone was busy running into the mountains, hoping that they wouldn’t be eaten by the Monster)。 可是，王家的老太太不願意離開(However, the old lady of the Wang family was unwilling to leave)。因為去年她的兒子被年獸吃了(Because her son was eaten by the Monster last year)，她說：「我要替兒子報仇(I will avenge my son’s death)。 時間越來越晚，年獸就快要醒過來了(It was getting later and later, the Monster was about to wake up)。王太太在家裡等著準備好好地和年獸打一架(Mrs. Wang was waiting at home, preparing for a fight with the Monster)，忽然「叩叩叩」，一陣敲門聲響起(Suddenly , there was a knock on the door)。王太太走過去開了門，看到是一位冷得發抖的老先生(Mrs. Wang went to open the door and saw an old man shivering with cold)，老先生說：「這位太太，我又冷又餓，能不能請你給我一點吃的東西啊(Madam, I am cold and starving. Could you please give me something to eat)？」王太太馬上請這位老先生進屋子裡坐下，還給他做了一頓飯菜 (Mrs. Wang immediately invited the old man in to have a seat, and cooked a meal for him )。吃飽的老先生開心地謝謝王太太，並且問她(After he was full, the old man thanked Mrs. Wang happily, and said)：「這位太太啊！這裡怎麼只有你一個人啊？其他人呢(Madam! Why are you alone here? Where are the others)？」王太太把自己的情況說給了老先生聽，沒想到老先生聽了以後哈哈大笑(Mrs. Wang told the old man about her situation, unexpectedly, the old man laughed loudly when he heard this )，他說：「年獸有什麼可怕的(Why do we need to be scared of the Monster)？我教你一個辦法(I'll teach you a method)，你去找一些竹子還有紅色的紙來(Go find some pieces of bamboo and red papers)。」王太太雖然不相信他，可是，還是把竹子跟紅紙拿來了(Although Mrs. Wang didn't believe him, she still brought the bamboo and red papers)。只見老先生把紅色的紙貼在門上，並且告訴王太太，年獸來的時候，馬上燒竹子(The old man pasted red papers on the door, and he told Mrs. Wang that when the Monster came, she must burn the bamboo immediately)。 到了半夜(In the middle of the night)，年獸一步一步慢慢地爬到陸地上來了(Step by step, the Monster slowly crawled onto the land)！一家一家地找東西吃(House by house, it went looking for something to eat)，餓得不得了的年獸發現什麼東西都沒有了，氣得不得了(The starving monster got very angry when it found nothing to eat)。沒過多久，年獸來到了王太太家門口(Before long, the Monster came to the door of Mrs. Wang's house)，王太太馬上燒起了竹子，竹子被燒得霹靂啪啦響(Mrs. Wang immediately burned the bamboo, which made a crackling noise)。年獸痛得大叫(The Monster screamed in pain)：「那個紅色的東西是什麼啊？看得我的眼睛好疼啊(What is that red thing? It hurts my eyes)！這是什麼聲音啊？我的耳朵快受不了啦(What is this noise? My ears can't take it anymore)！」年獸的眼睛和耳朵越來越痛(The Monster’s eyes and ears hurt more and more)，牠越來越害怕(it became more and more scared)，就這樣，很快地逃回了海裡，再也不敢出來吃人了(And then, it quickly fled back into the sea, and never dared to come out to eat people again)。 王太太開心地正想謝謝老先生，老先生卻已經不見了(Mrs. Wang happily wanted to thank the old man, but the old man had disappeared)。第二天，大家都下山，看到王太太一點事都沒有，驚訝地問王太太昨天晚上的情況(The next day, everyone came down from the mountains and went home. Seeing that Mrs. Wang was fine, they were surprised and asked Mrs. Wang what happened last night)。聽了王太太的故事以後，大家都說那位老先生一定是個神仙，他是來幫助大家的(After hearing Mrs. Wang’s story, everyone said that the old man must be an angel, and he was here to help everyone)。從那天起，每到農曆新年，大家就在門上貼紅紙、燒竹子(From that day, every Chinese New Year, everyone pasted red papers on the door and burned bamboo)，漸漸地，就變成了貼春聯、放鞭炮(in time, this became the pasting of Spring Festival couplets and setting off firecrackers)。 小朋友，現在你只需要好好地享受農曆新年，不必再擔心年獸了。還有，今年是兔年，你知道怎麼用英文祝福別人「兔年行大運」嗎？ “Wish you good luck in the year of the rabbit.” 請跟Bear老師再說一次。 “Wish you good luck in the year of the rabbit.” 小朋友，祝你兔年行大運(Wish you good luck in the year of the rabbit)！ 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

My eyes are very very small, Sometimes when I am troubled, Even just two tracks of tears, They can’t hold back. 這兩個英文版本聽起來，你喜歡哪一個呢？翻譯有很多學問，Bear老師很難在短短的時間裡跟小朋友解釋清楚。如果你現在不能知道差別，也沒關係，先用耳朵、用心去感受，相信將來的某一天，你回想起來，就會有更清楚的感覺了。 小朋友，你覺得這首詩美不美呢(Do you think this poem is beautiful?)？是不是很有想像力(Isn't it very imaginative)？他談的不是眼睛實際的大小，而是他的眼界與感情(He was not talking about the actual size of the eyes, but about his vision and feelings)。其實一個人的眼睛小，還是大，並不重要(Actually, it doesn't matter whether a person's eyes are small or big)，美醜是很主觀的(Beauty and ugliness are very subjective)，Bear老師覺得有自己的特色才是最重要的(I think the most important is to have your own characteristics)。更重要的是，你的眼界大不大(And more importantly, whether you have vision or not)。如果你是井底之蛙，或是夏蟲，你的知識太少，就沒辦法有更好的發展或幫助別人(If you are a frog in a well, or a summer insect, your knowledge of the world is too little, and you will not be able to develop yourself or help others)。 小朋友，如果你要誇獎別人很有想像力，你知道用英文怎麼說嗎？ “You are so imaginative！”意思是「你真有想像力！」 請跟Bear老師再說一次 “You are so imaginative！” 小朋友，想像力很重要喔(Imagination is very important)！比如說(For example)，如果以後你當翻譯人員，有的句子的意思不能直接翻譯，這個時候你就需要想像力(if you are a translator in the future, the meaning of some sentences cannot be directly translated, and you need imagination at this time)。還有，想像力也能幫助你面對許多困難，或者發明許多新東西(Also, imagination can help you face many difficulties or invent many new things)。總而言之(Anyway)，多看書、多學習能訓練你的想像力喔(reading more and learning more can train your imagination)，加油(You can do it)！ 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

I must go to see your show in the future)。 Robin：當然，如果有表演，我一定邀請你們(Sure, if there is a performance, I will definitely invite you)。 Jasper：我們拭目以待(We'll see)。Emma，你呢(Emma, what about you)？ Emma：我計畫今年開始學畫畫，我對畫畫真的很有興趣(I plan to learn painting this year, I am really interested in painting)。 Jasper：祝妳以後跟畢卡索一樣有名(Hope you’ll be as famous as Picasso in the future)。 Emma：謝謝。你呢？你有什麼新計畫(Thank you. What about you? What new plans do you have)？ Jasper：我覺得英文好難喔，有的時候很想放棄(I feel English is so difficult, sometimes I want to give up)。可是我知道學新的語言很重要，所以應該多練習(But I know it's important to learn a new language, so I should practice more)。希望我的英文能更上一層樓(I hope I can take my English to the next level)。 Emma：別放棄(Don't give up)，要有自信，相信你自己(be confident, believe in yourself)，加油(You can do it)！ Jasper：謝謝你(Thank you)。Amy，你呢？你還沒說(Amy, what about you? You haven't said it yet)。 Amy：我有好多計畫，不確定應該先做哪一個(I have so many plans and I'm not sure which one to do first)。我也想學電腦、也想學做蛋糕、也想學彈吉他(I also want to learn computers, bake cakes, and play the guitar)，可是時間不夠，而且媽媽的錢也不夠(but I don’t have enough time and my mother doesn’t have enough money)，怎麼辦(What should I do)？ Robin：沒關係(It doesn't matter)，現在網路上有很多學習資源和教學影片，有空的時候可以自己學(There are many learning resources and teaching videos on the Internet. You can learn by yourself when you have time)。 Amy：可是我媽媽不讓我上網，她擔心我在網路上被騙(But my mum doesn't let me use the Internet. She is worried that I will be cheated.)。 Emma：我爸爸也這麼說(My dad said the same thing)，他說網路上有很多不好的東西(he said there are a lot of bad things on the Internet)。 Jasper：我記得Bear老師說過「要學會跟長輩溝通」(I remember Teacher Bear said :" You need to learn to communicate with elders.")，你可以試試看跟媽媽談一談喔(you can try to talk to your mother)。 Amy：好的，我會試試(OK, I'll try)。從網路也能學會很多東西，我要證明給媽媽看(I can also learn a lot from the Internet, and I want to prove it to my mum)。 Robin：祝你成功(Wish you success)！新的一年，我們一起加油(In the new year, we can do it together)！ 大家：加油(we can do it)！ 小朋友，你知道怎們用英文祝福別人成功嗎？你可以說： “Wish you success！” 請跟Bear老師再說一次： “Wish you success！” 小朋友，你有什麼新計畫(What are your new plans)？Bear老師祝你新的一年能學會更多新東西(I wish you can learn more new things in the new year)。祝你成功(Wish you success)，加油(You can do it)！新年快樂(Happy New Year)！ 我們下次見嘍(See you next time)！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

What is winter)？」 松鼠：「你不知道冬天(You don't know winter)？！就是天氣很冷，有的時候還會下雪的季節啊(It's a very cold season and sometimes it snows)。」 蟬：「冷(Cold)？雪(Snow)？那是什麼(What is that)？」 松鼠：「『冷』是一種感覺('Cold' is a feeling)，『雪』是一種白白的，像冰一樣的東西('Snow' is a white thing like ice)。」 蟬：「冰(Ice)？『冰』是什麼(What is 'ice')？」 松鼠：「天啊(My goodness)！你在跟我開玩笑嗎(Are you kidding me)？別浪費我的時間(Don't waste my time)，我忙著為冬天準備食物，沒時間理你了(I’m busy preparing food for winter, I don't have time to talk to you)。再見(Bye~~)！」 蟬：「別走啊(Don't go)！請你別生氣(Please don't be angry)，我是真的不知道啊(I really don't know)！」 小朋友，中文有一句話說「夏蟲不可語冰」，意思就是「如果你跟只活在夏天的昆蟲談到冰，他們不能理解你在說什麼，因為他們從來沒有看過冰。」請跟Bear老師再說一次這個中文句子「夏蟲不可語冰」。 所以，松鼠真的誤會蟬了(Therefore, the squirrel really misunderstood the cicada)，蟬沒有開玩笑，他是真的不知道冬天的一切( the cicada was not kidding, he really didn't know anything about winter)，因為他的生命太短，根本沒有機會看到冬天(Because his life was too short, and he had no chance to see winter at all)。 小朋友，如果以後你碰到不能溝通的人，你需要有多一點耐心來讓他明白你的想法(if you meet someone in the future who you can’t communicate with, you need to be more patient to let him understand your thoughts)，因為，他可能真的沒有過跟你一樣的經驗(because he may really have never had the same experience as you)，就像井底之蛙一樣，需要別人的幫助(just like the frog who lives in a well，he needs help.)。不過，如果你很忙，有更重要的事情得做，那麼，你就只好離開去做你的事(However, if you are busy and have more important things to do, then you have to leave and do your work)，但是記得，不需要生他的氣喔，因為「夏蟲不可語冰」(But remember, you don’t need to be angry with him, because " You can’t speak of ice to insects that live only one summer.")，那不是他的錯(That's not his fault)，而是他不像你這麼幸運能有豐富的經驗(You may have a lot of experience, but he's not as lucky as you)。 小朋友，一年裡有四個季節(four seasons)，你知道用英文怎麼說嗎？ 春天spring 夏天summer 秋天autumn 冬天winter 請跟Bear老師再說一次： spring summer autumn winter 小朋友，如果你不想當夏蟲或井底之蛙(If you don't want to be a summer insect or a frog living in a well)，記得多學習喔(remember to learn more)！ 我們下次見嘍！See you next time! -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Come down and play!)我家超棒的，什麼都有(My home is wonderful and has everything)。」而小鳥們總是告訴小青蛙：「外面的世界才美呢(The world outside is so beautiful)！你要不要出來看看啊 (Would you like to come out and have a look) ？」不過，小青蛙總是不相信(However, the little frog never believed it)。 有一天，有一隻布穀鳥飛到井邊休息(One day, a cuckoo flew to the well to rest)，小青蛙又開始向布穀鳥炫耀自己的家了：「我家真的好棒！應有盡有(My home is really great, it has everything)，你們為什麼都不相信我呢(why don't you believe me)？」沒想到布穀鳥說：「我帶你去看看外面的世界好嗎(May I take you to see the outside world)？比你家有趣多了(There are more interesting things than your home)。」小青蛙半信半疑地回答：「真的嗎(Really)？好吧(Okay)。」於是，布穀鳥用爪子抓起了小青蛙飛了起來(So, the cuckoo picked up the little frog with its claws and flew up )。 小青蛙：「哇！我的天啊！這是哪裡 (Wow! My goodness! Where is this) ？」 布穀鳥：「這就是井外的世界啊 (This is the world outside the well) ！」 小青蛙：「那個高高的是什麼 (What's that tall one) ？」 布穀鳥：「那是山 (That's a mountain) 。」 小青蛙：「那些彩色的東西是什麼 (What are those colorful things) ？」 布穀鳥：「那些是花 (Those are flowers) 。」 小青蛙：「你看你看(Look, look)，那個有好多水，比我家還大的地方，是什麼？(What is that place with a lot of water bigger than my home?)」 布穀鳥：「那是有很多蓮花的大池塘(That's a big pond with many lotus flowers)。你要自己下去看看嗎(Do you want to go down and see for yourself)？」 小青蛙：「我要我要(I do, I do)！」 小青蛙跳到了大池塘裡，盡情地游泳(The little frog jumped into the big pond, swam as much as he wanted)，然後，跳上草地，享受微風(and then jumped onto the grass to enjoy the breeze)。 布穀鳥：「你看，我說得沒錯吧(Look, didn’t I tell you so)？」 小青蛙：「謝謝你帶我出來開開眼界(Thank you for bringing me out to open my eyes)。」 布穀鳥：「不客氣(You're welcome)。等你玩夠了，我再帶你回家(I'll take you home after you have had enough fun)。」 小青蛙：「不，我不回去了(No, I won't go back)，我要好好地看看這個世界(I want to take a good look at this world)。」 小朋友，你想當井底之蛙，還是想多看看這個世界呢(Do you want to be a frog in a well, or do you want to see more of this world)？旅行(to travel)、看書(to read books)、聽播客(to listen to podcasts)還是多跟有經驗的人聊聊(to chat with experienced people)，都能打開你的眼界(to open your eyes)，並且學習更多知識(to learn more knowledge)。有一句話說「知識就是力量(knowledge is power)」，有了知識，你就能有更多力量做更多的事，也能更上一層樓(With knowledge, you can have more power to do more things and take your abilities to the next level)。就像這隻小青蛙，本來他什麼都不知道(Just like this little frog, he didn't know anything at first)，後來他知道了更多知識，於是，他決定改變自己的生活(but later he learned more knowledge, so he decided to change his life)。 小朋友，還記得知識就是力量的英文怎麼說嗎？ “Knowledge is power.” 請跟Bear老師再說一次： “Knowledge is power.” 小朋友，如果你能學習更多知識，你就更有力量改善自己跟別人的生活(If you can learn more, you will have more power to improve your life and the lives of others)。比如說(For example)，如果你有修理汽車的知識，你就能開一家修車廠幫別人解決車子的問題(if you have the knowledge to fix cars, you can open a car repair shop to help others solve car problems)。所以「知識就是力量(knowledge is power)」，一定別放棄學習喔(Don't give up learning)。 現在，你有了英文知識，你想利用這個知識來做什麼呢(Now that you have knowledge of English, what do you want to use this knowledge for)？請想想這個問題喔(Please think about this question)。 我們下次見嘍！ See you next time! -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Or is the sunset more beautiful)？Bear老師我特別喜歡黃昏的風景(I especially like the scenery at dusk)，還記得Bear老師說過的「牛郎與織女」的故事嗎(Do you still remember the story of “Niúláng and Zhīnǚ”)？因為有織女，所以我們才能欣賞到美麗的餘暉和雲彩(Because of Zhīnǚ , we can enjoy the beautiful afterglow and clouds)。 在唐朝，有一個詩人李商隱也特別欣賞黃昏的美(In the Tang Dynasty, there was a poet, Lǐ Shāngyǐn, who especially appreciated the beauty of the dusk)，還寫了一首詩〈登樂遊原〉(and wrote a poem " Dēng Lèyóu yuán")。讓Bear老師來說給你聽(Let me tell you)。 向晚意不適，驅車登古原。夕陽無限好，只是近黃昏。 什麼意思呢(What does that mean)？ 向晚意不適 意思是：傍晚的時候，心情不好。 (At the dusk, I was in a bad mood.) 驅車登古原 意思是： 所以我駕著馬車來到了郊區的小山丘「樂遊原」，想要散散心。 (So I drove a horse-drawn carriage to the small hill " Lèyóu yuán " in the suburbs, wanting to relax.) 夕陽無限好 意思是： 你看，那夕陽多麼美好啊！ (Look, how beautiful the sunset is!) 只是近黃昏 意思是： 可惜的是，雖然夕陽非常地美麗，卻很快就要結束了。 (What a pity, although the sunset is very beautiful, it will be over soon.) 小朋友，你是不是也覺得黃昏美麗的風景特別短暫呢(Do you also think that the beautiful scenery at dusk is especially short)？你是不是也覺得快樂的時光很短呢(Do you also feel that the happy time is very short)？人總是這樣的(People are always like this)，覺得辛苦的時間很長(we feel that the hard times are very long)，玩樂的時光很短(and the fun times are very short)。而當快樂的時光結束的時候，你是不是覺得好可惜呢(And when the happy time is over, do you feel that’s a pity)？ 要是你覺得「好可惜啊」，你知道用英文怎麼說嗎？ “What a pity!” 我們再說一次喔： “What a pity!” 現在，我們來複習這首詩(Now, let's review this poem)。 向晚意不適，驅車登古原。 夕陽無限好，只是近黃昏。 你記住了嗎(Do you remember it already)？如果還沒，別擔心(If not, don’t worry)。多念幾次，你就會記住了(You will remember it if you read it more)。 小朋友，即使每天都有美麗的黃昏，可是你注意過嗎(Even if there is beautiful dusk every day, but have you noticed it?)？這位詩人李商隱他注意到了(This poet Lǐ Shāngyǐn noticed)，那是因為他的人生很辛苦(that’s because his life was very hard)，所以他特別珍惜生活中的美好(so he especially cherished the beauty in life very much)。 小朋友，你生活中一定也有很多小小的幸福(There must be many small happiness in your life)，比如說一碗熱熱的湯(such as a bowl of hot soup)、一張舒舒服服的床(a comfortable bed)、一個溫暖的擁抱(a warm hug)，你注意過嗎(have you noticed)？請你一定要珍惜喔(Please cherish it)。你還小，未來還很長(You are still young, the future is still very long)，但是，時光飛快(but time flies,)，如果你不珍惜，幸福轉眼間就飛走了(If you don’t cherish it, happiness will fly away in a very short time.)。 也希望Bear老師的故事帶給你幸福的感覺(I also hope my stories can bring you happiness)，請你把這份幸福分享給更多人喔(Please share this happiness with more people)。 我們下次見嘍！ See you next time! -- Hosting provided by SoundOn

Then I'll dress up as Iron Man)！Amy，那你要裝扮成什麼呢(Amy, what are you going to dress up as)？ Amy：我要裝扮成女巫(I'm going to dress up as a witch)。還要騎著一枝掃把，拿著一個南瓜燈(And I’ll ride a broom and hold a jack-o-lantern)。 Emma：那我這隻貓咪也要坐在你的掃把上(Well, then I, as a cat, will sit on your broom too)。我們一起騎(Let's ride together)！ Amy說：好啊！喔~對了(Okay! Oh, by the way)，媽媽說派對以後，她要帶我們去鄰居家要糖果吃(my mom said that after the party, she will take us to the neighbors’ houses to ask for candy)。 Jasper：到時候我們要一起說：『不給糖，就搗蛋。』(Then we're going to say: “Trick-or-treat!")。 Peter：我還聽過一個順口溜(I heard a jingle)：“Trick or treat, smell my feet. Give me something good to eat. If you don’t. I don’t care. I’ll pull down your underwear.” Robin：我知道我知道(I know I know)，意思就是(it means)：不給糖，就搗蛋，聞聞我的臭腳丫。快給我些好吃的，如果你不給，我也不在乎，拉下你的內褲來。 Emma：你們很調皮(You are so naughty)！ Robin：萬聖節開一下玩笑嘛(It’s Halloween, I’m just kidding)，請不要介意(Please don’t mind)。 Peter：請不要介意(Please don’t mind)。 Emma：好吧(Alright)！ Amy：我好期待萬聖夜的變裝派對(I'm so looking forward to the Halloween costume party)。晚上7:00我在家裡等你們來喔(I'll be waiting for you at home at seven o'clock in the evening)！ 大家：好的，到時候見(Okay, see you then!)！ 小朋友，你要怎麼過萬聖夜呢(How are you going to spend Halloween)？你要裝扮成什麼呢(What are you going to dress up as)？ 你知道「不給糖，就搗蛋」的英文怎麼說嗎？ “Trick or treat.” 意思是：你要選擇「惡作劇(trick)」還是「招待我們(treat)」？ 請跟Bear老師再說一次： “Trick or treat.” 小朋友！萬聖夜快樂！ Happy Halloween！ 我們下次見嘍！ See you next time！ -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
