旁白台灣的垃圾車會播放音樂，民眾聽到音樂就拿著垃圾出門。這種「垃圾不落地」的做法，讓街上很少看到垃圾桶，卻能保持乾淨。

旁白有研究發現，在綠色植物多的地方工作，員工的壓力會比較低，請假的次數也比較少。因此，越來越多公司在辦公室裡擺放盆栽，甚至設計室內花園。

第 4 段　Psychologists say decisions are often swayed by the first number we hear. A shop that shows a high original price and then a discount makes shoppers feel it's a bargain, even if the sale price isn't cheap.

旁白心理學家指出，人在做決定時常常受到第一個聽到的數字影響。例如商店先標出很高的原價，再打折，消費者就會覺得很划算，即使打折後的價格並不便宜。

Psychologists say decisions are often swayed by the first number we hear. A shop that shows a high original price and then a discount makes shoppers feel it's a bargain, even if the sale price isn't cheap.

第 5 段　Taiwan's high-mountain tea gardens are mostly above a thousand metres, where large day–night temperature swings slow growth and make the aroma rich. But developing them can cause soil erosion on slopes and needs careful management.

旁白台灣的高山茶園大多在海拔一千公尺以上，那裡早晚溫差大，茶葉生長緩慢，所以香氣特別濃。不過，開發茶園也可能造成山坡地水土流失，需要好好管理。

第 8 段　Taiwan's typhoon season usually runs July to October. Typhoons cause damage but also bring lots of rain, an important source for reservoirs; a year with no typhoon can mean water shortages.

旁白台灣的颱風季通常從七月到十月。雖然颱風會帶來災害，但也帶來大量的雨水，是水庫重要的水源。如果一年都沒有颱風，反而可能缺水。

Taiwan's typhoon season usually runs July to October. Typhoons cause damage but also bring lots of rain, an important source for reservoirs; a year with no typhoon can mean water shortages.

第 9 段　Students, today's general-education class introduces Taiwan's Indigenous peoples. There are sixteen officially recognised peoples, each with its own language, dress and ceremonies — the Amis harvest festival, for example, usually in summer, when the community dances for days to thank ancestors and nature. Recently many villages have developed cultural tourism with craft and cooking experiences. Some members worry too much tourism will drain the ceremonies of meaning, so some villages close certain rites to outsiders.

旁白各位同學，今天的通識課要介紹的是台灣的原住民族。台灣目前有十六個官方認定的原住民族，每一族都有自己的語言、服飾和祭典。例如阿美族的豐年祭，通常在夏天舉行，族人會連續跳好幾天的舞，感謝祖先和大自然的照顧。近年來，很多部落開始發展文化觀光，讓遊客參與傳統的手工藝和料理體驗。不過，也有族人擔心，太多的觀光活動會讓祭典失去原本的意義，所以有些部落規定，部分儀式不對外開放。

第 10 段　A recent survey shows Taiwanese office workers spend over an hour a day commuting on average. Long commutes are tiring and cut time for family and rest. To improve matters, some firms offer flexible hours so staff avoid rush hour; others set up satellite offices in the suburbs so distant staff can work nearby. Experts say these measures raise staff satisfaction and reduce congestion and pollution — good for society as a whole.

旁白最近有一份調查顯示，台灣上班族平均每天花在通勤上的時間超過一小時。長時間通勤不只讓人疲倦，也減少了陪伴家人和休息的時間。為了改善這個問題，有些企業開始提供彈性上班時間，讓員工避開尖峰時段；也有企業在郊區設立衛星辦公室，讓住得遠的員工就近上班。專家認為，這些措施不但能提高員工的滿意度，也能減少交通擁擠和空氣污染，對整個社會都有好處。

第 11 段　Many know the experience: you know you should revise, yet you keep scrolling or tidying and won't start. Psychologists call it procrastination. Research finds procrastinators aren't necessarily lazy; often they fear failure or feel the task is too big to know where to begin. Experts suggest breaking a big task into small steps — read ten pages, then rest — and rewarding yourself for each small goal. This lowers psychological pressure and makes it easier to keep going.

旁白很多人都有這樣的經驗：明明知道要準備考試，卻一直滑手機、整理房間，就是不想開始讀書。心理學家把這種行為稱為「拖延」。研究發現，拖延的人不一定是懶惰，很多時候是因為害怕失敗，或是覺得任務太大，不知道從哪裡開始。專家建議，可以把大任務拆成很多小步驟，例如先讀十頁就休息，完成一個小目標就給自己一點獎勵。這樣能降低心理壓力，也比較容易持續下去。

第 12 段　Welcome to the National Palace Museum. Today's tour shows some of its most important pieces. First, the famous Jadeite Cabbage, carved from a single piece of jade that is both green and white: the craftsman cleverly made the white part the stalk and the green part the leaves. Next we visit the calligraphy and painting gallery. Because old works are light-sensitive, the lighting is dim and exhibits are rotated regularly to let them rest. Please don't use flash or touch the glass cases.

旁白歡迎來到故宮博物院。今天的導覽會帶大家看幾件最重要的收藏。首先是有名的「翠玉白菜」，它是用一塊同時有綠色和白色的玉雕刻而成的，工匠巧妙地利用玉的顏色，把白色的部分做成菜梗，綠色的部分做成菜葉。接下來我們會參觀書畫展覽室。因為古代的書畫很怕光，所以展覽室裡的燈光比較暗，展品也會定期更換，讓它們有時間休息。參觀時請不要使用閃光燈，也請不要碰觸玻璃櫃。

第 13 段　I'm a coffee farmer and have grown coffee in Gukeng, Yunlin, for fifteen years. Many don't know Taiwan can grow good coffee. Gukeng's altitude and climate suit it, but plantations are small and labour costly, so it's much dearer than imports. At first I feared it wouldn't sell; then I opened the farm to visitors and taught them to pick and roast beans. Having done it themselves, many appreciate the work behind a cup and are keener to support local coffee.

旁白我是一個咖啡農，在雲林古坑種咖啡已經十五年了。很多人不知道，台灣也能種出好咖啡。古坑的海拔和氣候很適合咖啡生長，但是種植面積小，人工成本又高，所以價格比進口的咖啡貴很多。剛開始我很擔心賣不出去，後來我開放咖啡園讓遊客參觀，教他們怎麼採咖啡豆、怎麼烘豆。很多人親手做過以後，就能體會一杯咖啡背後的辛苦，也更願意支持本地的咖啡。

男您是一位手語老師，為什麼會想到開設給聽人的手語課？

You're a sign-language teacher. Why start classes for hearing people?

女我發現很多聽障朋友在醫院、銀行辦事的時候，常常因為溝通不良而受到委屈。如果有更多聽人會一點手語，生活就會方便很多。

I found deaf friends often suffered from poor communication at hospitals and banks. If more hearing people knew a little sign language, life would be much easier.

男來上課的都是哪些人？

Who comes to your classes?

女什麼人都有，有護理師、警察、店員，也有家裡有聽障孩子的父母。最小的學生才八歲，是想跟同班的聽障同學做朋友。

All sorts: nurses, police officers, shop staff, and parents of deaf children. The youngest is eight — she wanted to befriend a deaf classmate.

男學手語難嗎？

Is sign language hard to learn?

女跟學任何語言一樣，需要時間。不過手語很重視表情和動作，很多學生說，學了手語以後，自己說話的時候也變得更有表情了。

Like any language it takes time. But sign language relies heavily on expression and movement — many students say that since learning it they're more expressive when they speak too.

女您在台北經營一家二手家具店，為什麼選擇這個行業？

You run a second-hand furniture shop in Taipei. Why this trade?

男我以前在搬家公司工作，常常看到很多人搬家時把還很好的家具丟掉，覺得非常可惜。所以我就開始把這些家具收回來，整理、修理以後再賣出去。

I used to work for a removals firm and often saw people throw away perfectly good furniture when moving — such a waste. So I began taking it back, tidying and repairing it, and selling it on.

女客人主要是哪些人？

Who are your main customers?

男很多是剛出社會的年輕人，他們預算有限，又不想買太便宜、很快就壞的家具。也有人特別喜歡老家具的味道，專門來找有年代感的東西。

Many are young people just starting work, on tight budgets but not wanting cheap furniture that breaks quickly. Others love the feel of old pieces and come specially for vintage items.

女經營上最大的困難是什麼？

What is the hardest part of the business?

男是空間。家具很占位置，倉庫的租金又貴。現在我們開始在網路上先放照片，客人確定要買，我們才從倉庫送過去，減少店裡要放的東西。

Space. Furniture takes up room and warehouse rent is high. Now we post photos online first and deliver from the warehouse once a customer decides, so the shop needs to hold less.

男您在偏鄉當醫生已經二十年了，偏鄉的醫療最缺少什麼？

You've been a rural doctor for twenty years. What does rural healthcare lack most?

女最缺的是人。年輕醫生大多想留在大城市，願意來偏鄉的很少。有時候整個鄉只有一位醫生，生病的老人要坐兩個小時的車才能到大醫院。

People, most of all. Young doctors mostly want to stay in cities; few will come to rural areas. Sometimes a whole township has one doctor, and sick elderly people must ride two hours to a big hospital.

男那您們怎麼解決？

How do you cope?

女我們開始用遠距醫療，在診所透過視訊讓大醫院的專科醫生幫忙看病。另外，我們也培訓村裡的年輕人當照護員，定期去老人家裡量血壓、提醒吃藥。

We've started telemedicine, letting specialists at big hospitals see patients by video from our clinic. We also train young villagers as carers who visit the elderly regularly to check blood pressure and remind them to take medicine.

男您覺得這些方法有效嗎？

Do these methods work?

女很有幫助，但是不能完全取代醫生。我最希望的，是有更多年輕醫生願意來偏鄉看看，親身感受這裡的需要。

They help a lot, but can't fully replace doctors. What I most hope is that more young doctors will come and see rural areas and feel the need here for themselves.
