不要只是靜默-德國宗教領袖Martin Niemoller馬丁尼莫拉

之前就聽過這段話，很有感覺，但是忘了出處，
今天剛好又看到，就查了出來，與大家分享！

二次大戰後，德國新教徒馬丁尼莫拉 (Martin Niemoller)，這樣懺悔﹕「起初他們（納粹黨）追殺共產主義者時，由於我不是共產主義者，我不說話﹔接著他們追殺猶太人時，我不是猶太人，也不說話﹔後來他們追殺天主教徒時，我不是天主教徒，我也不說話。最後，他們朝我而來，卻再也沒有人可以站起來為我說話了。」

- Martin Niemoller 是二次大戰前德國的宗教領袖，
因反對希特勒的猶太政策和對德國教會的控制，
後來被希特勒親自下令送進集中營。

原文（1976年版）
德文版
Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten,
habe ich geschwiegen;
ich war ja kein Kommunist.

Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten,
habe ich geschwiegen;
ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat.

Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten,
habe ich nicht protestiert;
ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter.

Als sie die Juden holten,
habe ich geschwiegen;
ich war ja kein Jude.

Als sie mich holten,
gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte.

英文版
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

Mussina Announces Retirement

Mussina Announces Retirement from New York Times's news



Mike Mussina 宣佈要退休了，
在2008球季獲得生涯第一次20勝之後，
一個完美的Ending，
多少大明星在棒球場上打到不能再打，根本可以說是慘淡的狀況下，
不得不退休！
當然，這是一種選擇方式，沒有好壞，
只是退場的身影不是那麼完美，
然而，
Mike Mussina再完成生涯的第一次也是最後一次的單季20勝之後，
選擇在最高點退休，這當中的勇氣與猶豫、矛盾，
我想其實是糾結在他的內心的。
然而，我不得不佩服Mike Mussina的決定，
在最高點急流勇退，優雅的走出MLB的舞台，
可以說是Mussina最好的劇本，
非常符合Mussina的個性，不是嗎？

18 seasons, 270-153(Wins-Loses), 3.68 E.R.A, 2,813 Strikeouts, 23 Shutouts,
6 One-hitters games, 1 20-Win Seasons.

至於Mussina能否進入Hall of Fame? 現在還未得知，
畢竟在紀錄上還是有些疑問，
並未拿到鐵票300 Wins，但是未來又怎麼知道呢？




Mussina, thank you for the effort you did on Beseball,
bring us some much touch moments.
Thank you, may you have a wonderful day.

[English Study] KTV in America

Many people in Taiwan enjoying going out for a night of singing at a KTV. Though this activity is popular in Taiwan, it is not popular in the United States, except for places with large Asian communities.

When most Americans hear the word KTV, thy automatically think of karaoke. When karaoke machines first came to America, they were put in crowed bars, forcing singers to "entertain" every one in the room with their singing. Many people were embarrassed when they sang, and others in the bar often made fun of the people singing. Not surprisingly, karaoke never really caught on in the United States.

KTVs in Taiwan have private rooms, so customers can sing to their heart's content without feeling self-conscious. And in America, dancing or talking with freinds in a bar while listening to songs is still more popular than singing along with them.

[English Study] Calm Down Before E-mailing

We all lose our tempers every now and again. Usually an apology will mend any hurt feelings, but, in this age of instant communication, getting angry can have some long lasting and damaging consquences.

Friendships have been lost and feelings hurt due to an angry e-mail or text message. Because e-mail and text messaging are so quick and convenient, people tend to send anry messages without thinking carefully, or knowing all the facts. Often, they are later embarrassed to read that they have written.

So, the next time you are upset, do not immediately fire off an angry response. Wait an hour before you send any e-mail or text messages. By then, you will have probably cooled down and be able to decide if you really want to send such an angry message.

[English Study] It's OK to Cry

You may have heard that old phrase,"Boys don't cry." In the past, some people believed that males should never show their sadness. Today, however, may doctors believe that crying is perfectly normal and that is should even be encouraged.

Recent scientific studies have shown that tears actually help to rid the boy of toxins. Crying has also been shown to release pain-relieving chemicals from the brain. Today, many therapists and psychologists believe that crying is a healthy outlet for strong emotions, especially sadness.They say that it is unhealthy to keep these feelings bottled up inside.

So, the next time you are sad, go ahead and shed some tears; you will feel better after a good cry. You may even feel healthier, too.

[English Study] Can Money Buy Happiness?

You've probably heard the song, (Money) Can't Buy Me Love, but do you think that money can buy happiness?

A recent study has shown that money can change your outlook on life. Researchers at the University of Warwick, in England, studied the effects of unexpected money on more than 9,000 families. The study concluded that winning as little as ￡1,000 (NT$62,000) caused people to become happier about their lives. However, they also found out that gaining any amount less than ￡1 million(NT$62 million) did not have an lasting effect on people's happiness.

The experts concluded that, for people to be happy, a good marriage and good health were actually more important than money.

They also discovered that women were usually happier than men, and that thirty-to-forty-year-olds were the least likely to be happy.

[English Study] How to Reply Greetings

There are many different greetings in English, from formal to informal. Fortunately, you do not have to memorize many different replies to each greeting. The simplest way to reply to a greeting, in fact, is just to repeat the same greeting back to the speaker.

For example, if someone greets you with, "Good morning," just answer "Good morning" back to that person. Repeating most questions back is an easy-and polite-way to reply. If someone says, "How are you?" it is fine to reply back "How are you?" though you should add a "Fine" or "Good" beforehand.

Of course, the person asking "How are you?" or "How have you been?" does not want a lengthy reply about how are you doing or how have you been, unless you are close friends. Instead, that person is just using a common greeting to say hello.

[English Study] The Etiquette of Introductions

Introductions are important, and there are different rules for different situations. Generally speaking, when making introductions, try to say the most important person's name first. For instance, you should say, "Mr. President, pleas allow me to introduce Jon Smith."

In social situations, introductions are usually made according to age, then gender, and then social status. To introduce your friend Sally to someone older, you would say, "Mr. Jones, this is my friend Sally." However, to introduce Sally to someone of the same age, you would say, "Sally, let me introduce you to Ken."

In business situations, it is polite to make introductions to the client first; for example, "Mr. Brown, please let me introduce you to our marketing manager, Deb Jones. Deb, this is Mr. Brown, our client at ABC Technology."

[English Study] To Shake or Not to Shake?

In the United States and many Western Countries, it is considered polite for people to shake hands when they meet. In the past, men mostly shook hands, but today it is common for both men and women to do this.

Therefore, if you are introducing yourself to a visitor from a Western country, you should smile and extend your right hand. Take the other person'sright hand firmly in yours, adn move your hand up and down slowly. Maintain eye contact and continue the handshake from about two to three seconds. Do not squeeze too tightly or shake your hand too vigorously. The handshake should finish as you finish introducing yourself.

If you are uncomfortable shaking hands with another person, you can nod your head or bow slightly when you introduce yourself.

Also, most people in the West do not give out thier busienss cards the first time they introduce themselves. Instead, a handshake is considered moer polite when first introuducing yourself; business cards are usually exchanged later.

上帝公平嗎？

昨天成人主人學上課的時候，
同學問了一問題，
為何大衛用計害死烏利亞這忠心的僕人呢？
請參考下列經文撒母耳記下11 Samuel
而大衛他自己反倒保存了性命呢？
為何好人(烏利亞)不得善終呢？
而大衛於認罪之後，保全了性命，依舊做王？

對於這個問題，我想到了兩件事，
第一、普世的想法會對這件事感到不平，因為好人不得善終，但是我認為
對於基督徒而言，"死亡"真的就是盡頭嗎？
基督信仰強調，我們若認罪能夠獲得永恆的生命，但是若是死亡就是盡頭的話，那永恆的生命哪呢？
"死亡"只是永恆生命當中的一個階段而已。
因此當死亡不再成為我們一個判斷的標準時，那烏利亞的死亡，似乎不再不公平了。
烏利亞死亡後去哪裡呢？是不是去到天堂，享受永恆的生命呢？
善有善終，這句話是否成為我們所應該相信的判斷依據呢？
生命無常，常有意外與疾病的發生，那麼，好人就不會遇到意外(例如車禍)而失去生命嗎？
那這也是不公平嗎？
生命的公平不公平是我們能掌控的嗎？難道我們覺得不公平，事情就會有所不同嗎？
聖經中記載了這件讓我們覺得醜陋的事情，難道這樣會讓我們更加容易的相信聖經嗎？
還是會讓我們產生了更多的疑問呢？更加的懷疑嗎？
但是，聖經就是這樣真真實實的記載下來，而不是用美好的例子，漂亮的言語來讓我們相信。
也讓我們能夠在生活中印證這些事情，讓我們知道聖經是真實的。

第二、大衛對於這件所犯的錯誤，在後頭認罪了，但是大衛仍舊作王，保有生命，這樣對嗎？
其實，大衛所犯的錯誤，上帝是有給予懲罰的，而不是讓他完完全全的沒事，
撒母耳記下12:10你既藐視我、娶了赫人烏利亞的妻為妻、所以刀劍必永不離開你的家
12:11耶和華如此說、我必從你家中興起禍患攻擊你．我必在你眼前、把你的妃嬪賜給別
人、他在日光之下就與他們同寢。
上帝在大衛的身上有不同的計畫，若是我們用我們的想法去覺得上帝是不公平的，是不信實的，
是否我們將我們自己高過於神呢
