我很少在車上掉淚,很少。但是,上週的在休息站一次短暫的停泊,我哭了。
這是一趟從台南開往新竹的長途車程,在高速公路上我收聽著最近愛上的 Podcast 節目〈劉軒的 How to 人生學〉,我剛好聽到這集「EP35 | 如何把自己準備好,面對重要的那一刻」,主持人劉軒用厚實又帶磁性的聲音介紹了一段 American Got Talent 選秀節目的動人歌唱演出。
節目中介紹的這位參賽歌手,她的故事深深吸引了我,我已經等不及開到新竹再看這段原始影片。因此找了最近的清水休息站下去停泊,然後我在 YouTube 上搜尋到了這段影片。
影音圖文好讀 https://readingoutpost.com/nightbirde-its-ok/
.
她的名字叫 #Nightbirde
一位三十歲的女歌手 Jane Marczweski 踏上了舞台,她的外表顯得比平常人消瘦,剪了頭俐落的短髮,臉上充滿開朗的笑容,眼神中流露著一種從容的光彩。她向評審介紹了自己的名字:「當我唱歌的時候我叫『Nightbirde』」,她要為現場帶來一首自己的原創曲目「It’s OK」。
這首歌是在描述她過去一年充滿煎熬的生活。她已經好幾年沒有工作,因為她第三次被醫生診斷出癌症,而且只有 2% 的生存機率,就連她的先生也已經離她而去。上一次的診斷結果顯示,癌細胞散落在她的肺臟、肝臟和脊椎,情況似乎不太樂觀。
她搬到了加州接受治療,在她內心最脆弱、而且飽受煎熬的時候,她常常夢到一個畫面:在夜晚的窗外總是有一隻鳥在唱歌。她希望,自己能夠成為那隻在黑夜中歌唱的鳥兒,並且深信黎明中就會到來。這段故事就是她取名 Nightbirde 的由來。
評審聽完她的情況之後,皺起眉頭關心她的身體狀況,問了她:「所以妳…並不OK吧?」她微笑答道:「嗯…並不是每個方面都這樣。」
她很感謝評審讚美她充滿笑容、容光煥發的樣子,看不太出來是一位癌症病患,她堅定地說出這句充滿力量的話:「重要的是,每個人都知道,我比我碰到的那些『壞遭遇』還來得豐富的多(I am so much more than the bad things that happen to me.)」
接著,隨著旋律響起,她正式開始唱歌:「我在夏天的時候搬到加州,我換了一個新名字因為我認為這會改變我的想法……」
她的歌聲清脆響亮,臉上總是不忘微笑,在舞台自信、從容地唱著。我跟著歌曲的旋律擺動,聽著歌詞裡的故事,再想到她曾經的遭遇,心頭替她感到開心的同時,又充滿她跟病魔對抗的糾結。
我反覆播放這首歌,聽著她既勇敢堅強又充滿脆弱的自白,淚水已經沾濕了我的臉頰。「沒關係、沒關係、沒關係、沒關係,如果你感到迷失,有時候我們都有點迷失,但一切都會好的。(It’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok, it’s ok. If you’re lost, we’re all a little lost and it’s alright)」
歌曲結束後,評審紛紛表達對這首歌的喜歡,也不斷讚賞她如天使般的聲線,更難能可貴的是她表達出徹底的「真誠」(authenticity)。毒舌評審 Simon Cowell 這次不再批判,他溫柔地說出了他對 她的真誠感到共鳴,也對她的遭遇想表達些同情。
正當他欲言又止的時候,Nightbirde 用清澈的聲音在鏡頭外說了這句:「你不能等到生活不再艱難時,才選擇快樂。(You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy.)」
當下,這句話直接穿透了我的內心,也震撼了還在猶豫著要說什麼的 Simon。他如同被雷擊中一般,瞪大了雙眼,彷彿突然領悟了什麼似的。他回過神來,淡淡地說:「今年節目裡已經有很多很棒的歌手了」,他接著說:「所以,我不會給妳這個 Yes。」全場為之譁然,Nightbirde 抿起了雙唇。
在觀眾一陣喧嘩後,Simon 站起身:「所以我要給你一點別的東西。」他大手一揮按下了直通決賽的最高榮譽「黃金按鈕」 (Golen Buzzer),全場轟聲雷動,金色彩帶從天而降,在台上的 Nightbirde 激動地掩面跪地,這個不可置信的時刻,讓包含我在內的所有人都為之沸騰了。
#這是一個充滿脆弱的故事。我們不必假裝堅強,就像 Nightbirde 把自己的脆弱唱進歌曲一樣,她想把問題拋諸到腦後,但終究理解到「我以為我認識自己,但我猜自己只是撒了個謊」。她放下了別人的眼光,把自己的脆弱和無助展現出來,就算結果不如人意又如何?沒關係,一切都會 OK 的。
#這是一個充滿希望的故事。面對僅僅 2% 的逆境機率,卻不改她那喜歡歌唱的初心,整首歌更展現出她對生命「無比的堅韌」。就像在夜晚歌唱的鳥兒,即使天色漆黑不明,彷彿整個世界已被恐懼和艱難給覆蓋,仍然勇敢高歌唱出企盼黎明的希望。沒關係,一切都會 OK 的。
#這也是一個充滿選擇的故事。這外表看似清秀、俐落和陽光的她,背後卻有著這段坎坷的故事。但是,那些「壞的遭遇」並不代表全部的我們,我們可以選擇自己面對生命的態度,無論有多少艱難在前方等著我們,我們都可以選擇現在就樂觀以對,對吧?沒關係,一切都會 OK 的。
我相信,每個人都有自己要橫跨的沙漠,每個人都有自己要克服的難關,你覺得呢?
待眼淚乾了,我駛出休息站,即使腦中千頭萬緒,但總要前往下一段旅程。沒關係,一切都會 OK 的。

I was a stick of dynamite and it just was a matter of time, yeah

放鬆靈魂
過新年
Simply Falling
輕易的沉醉
There goes my heart again
這又再次觸動到我的內心
All of this time I thought we were pretending
在這些時間裡.我想我們都在偽裝著
Nothing looks the same when your eyes are open
在你睜開的雙眼裡.沒有任何東西看起來相同
Now you're playing these games to keep my heartbeat spinning
現在.你讓我的心沉醉在你的遊戲中
You show me love, you show me love
你讓我看見愛
You show me everything my heart is capable of
你讓我知道我的心能夠辦到的所有事情
You reshape me like butterfly origami
你將我像紙蝴蝶般重塑
You have broken into my heart
你闖入了我的心
This time I feel the blues have departed
這次我感覺悲傷都已成過去
Nothing can keep me away from this feeling
沒有任何事能將我從這感覺中帶走
I know I am simply falling for you
我知道我輕易的就愛上了你
I'm taking time to envision where your heart is
我花了很多時間去想像你的心會在哪裡
And justify why you're gone for the moment
然後去解釋為何你有時會消失
I tumble sometimes, looking for sunshine
我有時會為了尋找陽光而摔倒
And you know this is right when you look into my eyes
而當你正視著我.你知道這是正確的
You show me love, you show me love
你讓我看見愛
You show me everything my heart is capable of
你讓我知道我的心能夠辦到的所有事情
And now I can't break away from this fire that we started
而現在我無法從我們所燃起的烈焰中擺脫
There my heart goes again
我又再次心動
In your arms I'm falling deeper
更加沉醉在你的臂膀裡
And there's nothing to break me away from this
沒有任何事能將我從這裡帶走

【#拜登就職演說全文】★中英版本★
資料來源:美國白宮新聞稿
This is America’s day. This is democracy’s day.
A day of history and hope. Of renewal and resolve.
Through a crucible for the ages America has been tested anew and America has risen to the challenge.
Today, we celebrate the triumph not of a candidate, but of a cause, the cause of democracy.
The will of the people has been heard and the will of the people has been heeded.
We have learned again that democracy is precious.
Democracy is fragile.
And at this hour, my friends, democracy has prevailed.
So now, on this hallowed ground where just days ago violence sought to shake this Capitol’s very foundation, we come together as one nation, under God, indivisible, to carry out the peaceful transfer of power as we have for more than two centuries.
We look ahead in our uniquely American way – restless, bold, optimistic – and set our sights on the nation we know we can be and we must be.
I thank my predecessors of both parties for their presence here.
I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
You know the resilience of our Constitution and the strength of our nation.
As does President Carter, who I spoke to last night but who cannot be with us today, but whom we salute for his lifetime of service.
I have just taken the sacred oath each of these patriots took — an oath first sworn by George Washington.
But the American story depends not on any one of us, not on some of us, but on all of us.
On “We the People” who seek a more perfect Union.
This is a great nation and we are a good people.
Over the centuries through storm and strife, in peace and in war, we have come so far. But we still have far to go.
We will press forward with speed and urgency, for we have much to do in this winter of peril and possibility.
Much to repair.
Much to restore.
Much to heal.
Much to build.
And much to gain.
Few periods in our nation’s history have been more challenging or difficult than the one we’re in now.
A once-in-a-century virus silently stalks the country.
It’s taken as many lives in one year as America lost in all of World War II.
Millions of jobs have been lost.
Hundreds of thousands of businesses closed.
A cry for racial justice some 400 years in the making moves us. The dream of justice for all will be deferred no longer.
A cry for survival comes from the planet itself. A cry that can’t be any more desperate or any more clear.
And now, a rise in political extremism, white supremacy, domestic terrorism that we must confront and we will defeat.
To overcome these challenges – to restore the soul and to secure the future of America – requires more than words.
It requires that most elusive of things in a democracy:
Unity.
Unity.
In another January in Washington, on New Year’s Day 1863, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
When he put pen to paper, the President said, “If my name ever goes down into history it will be for this act and my whole soul is in it.”
My whole soul is in it.
Today, on this January day, my whole soul is in this:
Bringing America together.
Uniting our people.
And uniting our nation.
I ask every American to join me in this cause.
Uniting to fight the common foes we face:
Anger, resentment, hatred.
Extremism, lawlessness, violence.
Disease, joblessness, hopelessness.
With unity we can do great things. Important things.
We can right wrongs.
We can put people to work in good jobs.
We can teach our children in safe schools.
We can overcome this deadly virus.
We can reward work, rebuild the middle class, and make health care
secure for all.
We can deliver racial justice.
We can make America, once again, the leading force for good in the world.
I know speaking of unity can sound to some like a foolish fantasy.
I know the forces that divide us are deep and they are real.
But I also know they are not new.
Our history has been a constant struggle between the American ideal that we are all created equal and the harsh, ugly reality that racism, nativism, fear, and demonization have long torn us apart.
The battle is perennial.
Victory is never assured.
Through the Civil War, the Great Depression, World War, 9/11, through struggle, sacrifice, and setbacks, our “better angels” have always prevailed.
In each of these moments, enough of us came together to carry all of us forward.
And, we can do so now.
History, faith, and reason show the way, the way of unity.
We can see each other not as adversaries but as neighbors.
We can treat each other with dignity and respect.
We can join forces, stop the shouting, and lower the temperature.
For without unity, there is no peace, only bitterness and fury.
No progress, only exhausting outrage.
No nation, only a state of chaos.
This is our historic moment of crisis and challenge, and unity is the path forward.
And, we must meet this moment as the United States of America.
If we do that, I guarantee you, we will not fail.
We have never, ever, ever failed in America when we have acted together.
And so today, at this time and in this place, let us start afresh.
All of us.
Let us listen to one another.
Hear one another.
See one another.
Show respect to one another.
Politics need not be a raging fire destroying everything in its path.
Every disagreement doesn’t have to be a cause for total war.
And, we must reject a culture in which facts themselves are manipulated and even manufactured.
My fellow Americans, we have to be different than this.
America has to be better than this.
And, I believe America is better than this.
Just look around.
Here we stand, in the shadow of a Capitol dome that was completed amid the Civil War, when the Union itself hung in the balance.
Yet we endured and we prevailed.
Here we stand looking out to the great Mall where Dr. King spoke of his dream.
Here we stand, where 108 years ago at another inaugural, thousands of protestors tried to block brave women from marching for the right to vote.
Today, we mark the swearing-in of the first woman in American history elected to national office – Vice President Kamala Harris.
Don’t tell me things can’t change.
Here we stand across the Potomac from Arlington National Cemetery, where heroes who gave the last full measure of devotion rest in eternal peace.
And here we stand, just days after a riotous mob thought they could use violence to silence the will of the people, to stop the work of our democracy, and to drive us from this sacred ground.
That did not happen.
It will never happen.
Not today.
Not tomorrow.
Not ever.
To all those who supported our campaign I am humbled by the faith you have placed in us.
To all those who did not support us, let me say this: Hear me out as we move forward. Take a measure of me and my heart.
And if you still disagree, so be it.
That’s democracy. That’s America. The right to dissent peaceably, within the guardrails of our Republic, is perhaps our nation’s greatest strength.
Yet hear me clearly: Disagreement must not lead to disunion.
And I pledge this to you: I will be a President for all Americans.
I will fight as hard for those who did not support me as for those who did.
Many centuries ago, Saint Augustine, a saint of my church, wrote that a people was a multitude defined by the common objects of their love.
What are the common objects we love that define us as Americans?
I think I know.
Opportunity.
Security.
Liberty.
Dignity.
Respect.
Honor.
And, yes, the truth.
Recent weeks and months have taught us a painful lesson.
There is truth and there are lies.
Lies told for power and for profit.
And each of us has a duty and responsibility, as citizens, as Americans, and especially as leaders – leaders who have pledged to honor our Constitution and protect our nation — to defend the truth and to defeat the lies.
I understand that many Americans view the future with some fear and trepidation.
I understand they worry about their jobs, about taking care of their families, about what comes next.
I get it.
But the answer is not to turn inward, to retreat into competing factions, distrusting those who don’t look like you do, or worship the way you do, or don’t get their news from the same sources you do.
We must end this uncivil war that pits red against blue, rural versus urban, conservative versus liberal.
We can do this if we open our souls instead of hardening our hearts.
If we show a little tolerance and humility.
If we’re willing to stand in the other person’s shoes just for a moment.
Because here is the thing about life: There is no accounting for what fate will deal you.
There are some days when we need a hand.
There are other days when we’re called on to lend one.
That is how we must be with one another.
And, if we are this way, our country will be stronger, more prosperous, more ready for the future.
My fellow Americans, in the work ahead of us, we will need each other.
We will need all our strength to persevere through this dark winter.
We are entering what may well be the toughest and deadliest period of the virus.
We must set aside the politics and finally face this pandemic as one nation.
I promise you this: as the Bible says weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning.
We will get through this, together
The world is watching today.
So here is my message to those beyond our borders: America has been tested and we have come out stronger for it.
We will repair our alliances and engage with the world once again.
Not to meet yesterday’s challenges, but today’s and tomorrow’s.
We will lead not merely by the example of our power but by the power of our example.
We will be a strong and trusted partner for peace, progress, and security.
We have been through so much in this nation.
And, in my first act as President, I would like to ask you to join me in a moment of silent prayer to remember all those we lost this past year to the pandemic.
To those 400,000 fellow Americans – mothers and fathers, husbands and wives, sons and daughters, friends, neighbors, and co-workers.
We will honor them by becoming the people and nation we know we can and should be.
Let us say a silent prayer for those who lost their lives, for those they left behind, and for our country.
Amen.
This is a time of testing.
We face an attack on democracy and on truth.
A raging virus.
Growing inequity.
The sting of systemic racism.
A climate in crisis.
America’s role in the world.
Any one of these would be enough to challenge us in profound ways.
But the fact is we face them all at once, presenting this nation with the gravest of responsibilities.
Now we must step up.
All of us.
It is a time for boldness, for there is so much to do.
And, this is certain.
We will be judged, you and I, for how we resolve the cascading crises of our era.
Will we rise to the occasion?
Will we master this rare and difficult hour?
Will we meet our obligations and pass along a new and better world for our children?
I believe we must and I believe we will.
And when we do, we will write the next chapter in the American story.
It’s a story that might sound something like a song that means a lot to me.
It’s called “American Anthem” and there is one verse stands out for me:
“The work and prayers
of centuries have brought us to this day
What shall be our legacy?
What will our children say?…
Let me know in my heart
When my days are through
America
America
I gave my best to you.”
Let us add our own work and prayers to the unfolding story of our nation.
If we do this then when our days are through our children and our children’s children will say of us they gave their best.
They did their duty.
They healed a broken land.
My fellow Americans, I close today where I began, with a sacred oath.
Before God and all of you I give you my word.
I will always level with you.
I will defend the Constitution.
I will defend our democracy.
I will defend America.
I will give my all in your service thinking not of power, but of possibilities.
Not of personal interest, but of the public good.
And together, we shall write an American story of hope, not fear.
Of unity, not division.
Of light, not darkness.
An American story of decency and dignity.
Of love and of healing.
Of greatness and of goodness.
May this be the story that guides us.
The story that inspires us.
The story that tells ages yet to come that we answered the call of history.
We met the moment.
That democracy and hope, truth and justice, did not die on our watch but thrived.
That our America secured liberty at home and stood once again as a beacon to the world.
That is what we owe our forebearers, one another, and generations to follow.
So, with purpose and resolve we turn to the tasks of our time.
Sustained by faith.
Driven by conviction.
And, devoted to one another and to this country we love with all our hearts.
May God bless America and may God protect our troops.
Thank you, America.

這是美國的一天,這是民主的一天,是歷史和希望的一天,是更新與決心的一天。美國幾個世代經過熔爐的考驗之後,如今再次遭到試煉,而且已再次奮起應付挑戰。今天,我們慶祝的不是一位候選人的勝利,而是一個奮鬥目標的勝利,是為民主的奮鬥。人民的意志被聽見了,人民的意志得到了關注。
我們再次學到,民主是珍貴的,民主是脆弱的,而在此刻,朋友們,民主已然勝利。短短幾天之前,還有暴力試圖撼動國會的根基,但今天我們齊聚這個莊嚴的所在,以一個在上帝之下不可分裂的國家,展開權力的和平轉移,一如我國200多年的傳統。
我們要用美國特有的方式,也就是不停歇、勇敢、樂觀的方式展望未來。放眼我們可以成為、也必須成為的國家。我謝謝今天蒞臨的兩黨前任總統,我衷心感謝,你們知道我國憲法的韌性,以及我們國家的力量。卡特總統(Jimmy Carter)也是,我昨晚與他通了電話,但他不克前來。我們為他畢生的奉獻向他致敬。
我剛才跟這幾位愛國者一樣鄭重宣誓,一篇最初由華盛頓宣讀的誓詞。然而,美國故事靠的不是我們任何一個人,或一部分人,而是我們全體。它靠的是「我們人民」,在尋求一個更好的合眾國的人民。這是個偉大的國家,我們是一群良善的人。
經歷過去幾個世紀的風雨和衝突、和平與戰爭,我們走過很長一段路,但前方還有很長一段路要走。我們將快速緊急前行,因為在這個危險與機會的冬天,我們有很多事要做。有很多需要修補、需要恢復、需要癒合。有許多需要建設,也可以有很多收穫。
在我國歷史上,很少人或很少時刻面臨著比我們目前更大的挑戰或困難。百年一見、無聲無息蔓延整個國家的病毒,在一年之內奪走的人命,跟美國在第二次世界大戰犧牲的總人數一樣多。數百萬工作機會流失,成千上萬企業關門。
400年來的種族正義的呼聲感動著我們,全民同享公義的夢想將不再拖後。地球生存的呼聲再急迫不過,也再清楚不過。如今政治極端主義、白人至上主義和本土恐怖主義的興起,讓我們有必要起來面對並將它們擊倒。
克服這些挑戰、恢復美國靈魂和鞏固未來需要的不只是話語,而是民主當中最難以捉摸的部分,那就是團結一心,團結一心。
另一個一月天,在1863年開年之時,林肯總統簽署解放奴隸宣言。讓我引述他在下筆時所說的話:「如果我留名青史,將會是因為這份宣言,以及我投注其中的全心全意。」
今天,同樣在一月裡,我全心全意投注於此:團結全體國人,團結整個國家。我請求所有美國人加入,和我一起努力,團結對抗我們共同的敵人:怨氣、不滿、仇恨、極端主義、目無法紀的行為、暴力、疾病、失業和無助。
團結一心,我們能夠成就偉大事業、重要的事情。我們可以糾正錯誤,可以讓民眾找到好的工作,可以在安全的校園教導孩子,可以克服這個致命的病毒。我們可以讓工作獲得報酬,重建中產階級,可以提供全民健保,可以兌現種族正義,讓美國再次成為世界主要的良善力量。
我明白,這個時候談論團結聽起來像愚昧的天方夜譚,我知道分裂我們的力量又深又真切,但我也知道這些力量不是現在才出現。美國向來在人人平等這個理想,和國家長期被種族主義、本土主義、恐懼和妖魔化分化的醜陋現實之間掙扎。這個征戰從未止息,勝利並無保證。
從南北戰爭、大蕭條、世界大戰到911恐攻,儘管歷經奮鬥、犧牲和挫折,良善的天使向來都會勝利。每當遇到這種時刻,我們都會有足夠的人團結一心,讓全國一起向前,我們現在也可以這麼做。
歷史、信仰和理性指向一條明路,一條團結之路。我們可以不把彼此當成敵人,而是鄰居。我們可以尊嚴和尊重彼此相待,可以同心協力,停止叫囂,讓溫度冷卻。因為沒有團結就沒有和平,只會留下苦毒與憤怒;不會有進步,只會有讓人厭倦的離譜言行;不會有國家,只會有混亂狀態。
這是我們危機和挑戰的歷史性一刻,而團結是前進的道路,我們必須以合眾國的姿態來面對這一刻,若能做到,我向諸位保證我們不會失敗。當我們團結起來,我們從來就不曾失敗,因此在這一天,在此時此刻,就在這裡,讓我們重新來過,全體一起來。讓我們開始再次彼此聆聽,讓對方說,相互探望,對彼表達尊重。
政治不必像這一團熊熊之火,燒毀一切,歧見不必成為全面戰爭的理由。我們必須摒棄操弄甚至捏造事實的文化,同胞們,我們不能這樣,美國必須不只是這個樣子,而且我相信美國不至淪落至此。
看看四周,我們站在國會大廈圓頂之下,這是南北戰爭時期完成的,當時美國的前途還在未定之天,但我們挺過來了,我們勝利了。我們現在站在此,看著偉大的國家廣場,金恩博士(Martin Luther King Jr.)曾對廣場上的群眾訴說他的夢想。也是在這裡,108年前的另一場就職典禮,數以千計的抗議人士試圖阻撓一群勇敢的婦女遊行爭取投票權。
今天我們見證副總統賀錦麗創造美國歷史,成為第一位擔任國家領導人的女性,別告訴我事情無法改變。
我們站在這裡,隔著波多馬克河(Potomac River)遠眺阿靈頓國家公墓(Arlington National Cemetery),也就是為國捐軀的英雄長眠之地。我們站在這裡,不過幾天前,暴動的群眾以為他們可用暴力箝制民眾的意志,阻撓民主運作,把我們驅逐出這塊聖地。但事情未如他們所願,今天不會,明天也不會,永遠都不會。
每位支持我們參選的民眾,我因你們給予我們的信心感到謙卑。對於沒有支持我們的人,讓我對你們說:未來請聽我說的話,評量我和我的心。如果你們還是不同意,也罷。這就是民主。這就是美國。以平和的方式在我們國家的規範之內表達異議的權利,可能是我國最大的優勢。
但請聽清楚:不同意見絕對不能變成不團結。而且我向各位保證,我要當全體國人的總統。不論你支持我或不支持我,我都將同樣為你們而努力。
好幾個世紀之前,我所屬教會的聖者聖奧古斯丁(Saint Augustine)曾經寫道,人民是個群體,由他們共同喜愛的東西所定義。身為美國人,我們共同喜愛而且能定義我們的東西是什麼?我想我們都知道:機會、安定、自由、尊嚴、尊重、榮譽,是的,還有真相。
最近的幾個星期、幾個月給了我們痛苦的教訓:有真相,也有謊言,為了權力和利益而說的謊言。我們每個人做為公民,做為美國人,特別是身為領導者的人,曾經承諾要遵守憲法、保護我們的國家的領導者,有職責、有責任要捍衛真相、打敗謊言。
我瞭解有許多同胞以害怕、惶恐的心情看待未來。我瞭解他們擔心工作問題。我瞭解他們像我父親那樣,夜裡躺在床上盯著天花板,想著得要有醫療保險、有貸款要付、想著他們的家庭,想著接下來會如何。我跟各位保證,我瞭解。但答案不是退縮,不是進入到彼此競爭的派系,不信任看起來跟你不一樣的人,跟你有不同信仰的人,或者新聞來源不同於你的人。
我們必須結束這場「無禮的戰爭」,它讓紅藍對立、鄉村與都市的民眾對立、保守派與自由派對立。我們可以做到,如果我們敞開心胸,而不是讓我們的心變硬,如果我們展現一些包容和謙虛,如果我們願意為別人設想,就像我母親說的:只要一下子就好,為別人設想。
因為人生就是這樣,你無法預知命運。有些時候,你會需要別人伸出援手,還有些時候,人家會請你伸出援手。就是要這樣,這就是我們為彼此做的事。如果我們這麼做,我們的國家就會更強大、更繁榮,更能為未來做好準備,而且我們還是可以有不同意見。
同胞們,我們在推動未來的工作時,會需要彼此。我們要集舉國之力,才能度過這個黑暗的冬天。我們可能在進入疫情最嚴重、最致命的階段。我們必須把政治擺在一邊,要終於能夠舉國對抗這個大流行,用舉國之力。我向各位保證,就如聖經所說:「一宿雖有哭泣,早晨便必歡呼。」我們將可一起度過,一起!
各位,我跟我在參眾兩院的同事們都瞭解,世人正在觀看,他們今天在看著我們,因此這是我要對國外傳達的訊息:美國受到試煉,而我們因此更為茁壯。我們將修補我們與盟國的關係,再次與世界往來,不是為了面對昨天的挑戰,而是今天和明天的挑戰。我們將不是藉著我們力量的典範來領導,而是憑藉我們典範的力量。我們將會是和平、進步與安定堅強而且可信賴的夥伴。
各位都知道,我們國家經歷了許多事情。我做為總統要做的第一件事,是要請你們跟我一起,為過去一年因疫情喪生的人們默禱,紀念那40萬個同胞,母親、父親、丈夫、妻子、兒子、女兒、朋友、鄰居和同事們。我們要成為我們自知可以成為、而且應該成為的人民和國家,以此榮耀他們。因此我請大家,一起為離世和失去親友的人們,還有我們的國家默禱,……阿們。
各位,這是試煉的時刻。我們面對對民主與真相的攻擊、正在肆虐的病毒、嚴重的不公、系統性的種族歧視、陷入危機的氣候,還有美國在全球的角色問題。其中任何一點都足以對我們構成嚴重的挑戰。但事實是,我們在同時面對這一切,這讓美國挑起我們最重大的責任之一。我們將受到試煉,我們能迎接挑戰嗎?這是大膽的時候,因為有好多事情要做。
而我向各位保證,這點是肯定的:你我將被評判,標準是我們如何解決這個時代一一發生的危機。我們將迎接挑戰。我們能否戰勝這個罕見而艱難的時刻?我們能否履行我們的義務,把一個新的、更好的世界傳給我們的下一代?我相信我們必須那麼做,而且我相信你們也這麼認為。我相信我們會,而且當我們做到,我們將寫下美國歷史偉大的新章節。美國的故事。
這個故事可能像一首對我來說深具意義的歌曲,它叫「美國頌」(American Anthem),它有一段歌詞至少對我來說很特別,它是這樣說的:「數百年的努力與祈禱讓我們來到今天,我們有什麼能傳承下去?我們的子孫會怎麼說?當我的日子結束,讓我內心知曉,美國,美國,我已為你付出最大努力。」
讓我們把我們自己的努力和祈禱,加到我們偉大的國家仍在發展的故事之中。如果我們做到,那麼當我們的日子結束,我們的子孫和他們的子孫會說:「他們付出了最大的努力,他們盡了他們的責任,他們修補了破碎的國家。」
同胞們,我的結語要跟開頭一樣,有個神聖的誓言。在上帝和各位面前,我向你們保證。我將始終開誠布公,我將捍衛憲法,我將捍衛我們的民主。我將捍衛美國,全心全力奉獻為你們服務,心中想的不是權力,而是可能性,不是私利,而是公眾的利益。我們將一起寫下美國希望的故事,而非恐懼的故事,是團結而非分歧,是光明而非黑暗。是禮貌與尊嚴、愛與療癒、偉大與善良的故事。
希望這是引導我們的故事、啟發我們的故事,是能告訴未來的世世代代我們回應歷史的召喚並且回應了時代挑戰的故事。民主與希望、真相與公義沒有在我們的時代衰亡,而是生生不息,美國固守了國內的自由,並且再次成為世界的明燈。這是我們對先人、對彼此和對未來世世代代的責任。
因此,我們要有目標、有決心,把注意力轉向這個時代的任務,靠信心來維持,靠信念來驅使,為彼此和我們全心熱愛的國家而奉獻。願上帝保佑美國,保守我們的三軍。謝謝美國!

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
AM02:00の誘う風に
少し 遠く ここまで来た
嫌いな街灯りさえ 紅く 淡く にじんでいた
あの時 君が言った言葉は まだ胸で そうrefrain
繰り返しては 眠れない夜を巡る
君を思うほどに いつも残るの ただ不安が
私はまだここにいる
そばにいたいって言えずに 眠れずに
君を思うほどに どうして逃げたくなるの?
私を見て きっと君なら そう 笑うよね?
笑うよね…
You don’t know really how I feel.
You don’t know really what I feel.
I miss you, really.
You don’t know really how I feel.
You don’t know really what I feel.
AM02:00の誘う風に
少し 遠く ここまで来た
降り注ぐ優しい雨 碧く 甘く 包んでいた
会えない 夜のこんな 気持ちを 濡らしていく そう let it rain
傘もささずに 眠れない夜を巡る
君を思うほどに いつも残るの ただ不安が
私はまだ願っている
こんな夜のコト 言えずに 眠れずに
君を思うことが どうして悲しくなるの?
また明日 きっといつものように会えるよね?
会えるよね…
君を思うほどに いつも 残るの ただ不安が
私はまだここにいる
そばにいたいって言えずに AM02:00
君を思うほどに どうして逃げたくなるの
私を見て きっと君ならそう 笑うよね?
笑うよね…
You don’t know really how I feel.
You don’t know really what I feel.
I miss you, really.
You don’t know really how I feel.
You don’t know really what I feel.
I miss you, really.
中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
凌晨兩點,因為風的慫恿
我來到了這個稍微遙遠一點的地方
到了這裡,就連那惹人厭街燈橙紅,也已經在淚水中模糊
那時你所說的話語,至今都還在我的胸口盪漾,不斷重複
徘徊在這遲遲無法入睡的夜晚
越是思念你,就會殘存越多的不安
我還在這裡徘徊
無法脫口我想在你的身邊而遲遲無法入眠
為何越是愛戀你,就越是想要逃離這一切呢?
若是你看見了這樣的我,你肯定會嘲笑我的吧?
肯定會吧?
你根本不知道我是怎麼看待這份思念
你也不知道,我到底作何感受
我真的好想你
你根本不知道我是怎麼看待這份思念
你也不知道,我到底作何感受
凌晨兩點,在風的慫恿下
我來到了這稍微遙遠的地方
眼淚溫柔飄落,漸漸的使我沉浸在這片寂靜與安逸中
無法見到你的,這種夜晚的心情,漸漸淋濕,是的,就淋上一場雨吧
也不必撐傘了,就這麼在無法入睡的夜晚中徘徊
越是思念,就會殘存越多的不安
我依舊盼望
無法訴說如此夜晚的掙扎而遲遲無法入眠
到底是為什麼,越是愛戀你就越是悲傷呢?
明天,肯定也可以一如往常的看見你吧?
可以嗎?
越是愛戀,就有越多的不安
我還逃離不了
無法脫口自己想要待在你的身邊,就在凌晨兩點的這時候——
究竟是為什麼,越是思念你就越是讓我想要逃離這一切呢?
看見如此掙扎的我,你肯定會嘲笑的吧?
肯定會吧?
你根本不知道我是怎麼看待這份思念
你也不知道,我到底作何感受
我真的好想你
你根本不知道我的心情
你也根本不知道,我到底有多喜歡你
我真的好愛你
英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
I came here, a bit of a distance away,
On the inviting breeze of 02:00 AM
Even the city lights I dislike
Blurred crimson and pale
The words you said that day
Are still my heart; yes, they are a refrain
It’s a cycle of sleepless nights as I repeat them, over and over
When I think of you, anxiety is the only thing that remains
I am still here
Unable to say that I want to be by your side, unable to sleep,
When I think of you, why do I want to run away?
If you saw me like this you’d laugh, right?
I’m sure you’d laugh…
You don’t know how I really I feel.
You don’t know how I really I feel.
I miss you, really.
I came here, a bit of a distance away,
On the inviting breeze of 02:00 AM
The kind, pouring rain
Warmly, sweetly enveloped me
These kinds of feelings on nights we’re not together
Are dampened; yes, let it rain
It’s a cycle of sleepless nights and I can’t even open an umbrella
When I think of you, anxiety is the only thing that remains
I am still hoping
Unable to talk about these kind of nights, unable to sleep,
Why has the act of thinking of you become sad?
Tomorrow, we’ll see each other as we always do, won’t we?
I’m sure we will…
When I think of you, anxiety is the only thing that remains
I am still here
Unable to say that I want to be by your side, at 02:00 AM
When I think of you, why do I want to run away
If you saw me like this you’d laugh, right?
I’m sure you’d laugh…
You don’t know how I really I feel.
You don’t know how I really I feel.
I miss you, really.
You don’t know how I really I feel.
You don’t know how I really I feel.
I miss you, really.
