中文 HSK 7–9（台灣版） 聽力練習 第 2 回

第 1 段　Temple performance troupes — lion dances, the Eight Generals, 'electronic Third Prince' dancers — are common at temple fairs. Members were mostly temple devotees, but professional teams have emerged, some invited to perform abroad. Some troupes, though, have a rowdy, brawling image, and some parents don't want their children involved; others now work with schools to teach the troupes as traditional art and change public perceptions.

旁白台灣的「宮廟陣頭」是廟會活動中常見的表演，包括舞獅、八家將和電音三太子等。過去陣頭成員多半是廟方信徒，近年來則出現了專業團隊，有的甚至受邀到國外演出。不過，部分陣頭給人吵鬧、打架的負面印象，讓一些家長不希望孩子參加。也有團隊開始和學校合作，把陣頭當作傳統藝術教學，希望改變社會的看法。

第 2 段　The weather bureau reports Taiwan's average annual temperature over the past decade is about one degree higher than thirty years ago. It seems small but is enough to affect ecology and farming: lowland plants are appearing higher up the mountains, and crops needing cold to flower and fruit, such as plums and peaches, have lower yields. Experts urge cutting carbon emissions and also preparing agriculture early with heat-tolerant varieties.

旁白氣象局統計，台灣近十年的年平均氣溫比三十年前高了大約一度。看起來只是一點點，卻足以影響生態和農業。例如，原本只生長在低海拔的植物，開始在更高的山上出現；一些需要低溫才能開花結果的作物，像是梅子和桃子，產量也受到影響。專家呼籲，除了減少碳排放之外，農業也要提早因應，研究更能適應高溫的品種。

女林老師，您在國小推動「閱讀晨光」已經十年了，可以介紹一下這個活動嗎？

Ms Lin, you've run 'Morning Reading' at a primary school for ten years. Could you describe it?

男每天早上第一節課前的二十分鐘，全校師生一起安靜地看書，不考試、不寫心得，只要享受閱讀就好。一開始很多孩子坐不住，現在大家都很期待這段時間。

For twenty minutes before first lesson every morning, the whole school reads quietly — no tests, no reports, just enjoying reading. At first many children couldn't sit still; now everyone looks forward to it.

女您覺得這個活動對孩子最大的影響是什麼？

What do you think its biggest effect on children is?

男最明顯的是專注力。以前上課常常有人講話，現在孩子比較能靜下心來聽。另外，借書的人數也比以前多了三倍。

Most obviously, concentration: there used to be chatter in class, now children can settle and listen. Also, library borrowing has tripled.

女有沒有遇到困難？

Have there been difficulties?

男有些家長擔心這樣會占用上課時間。我們就邀請家長來學校一起看書，親身體驗之後，大部分家長都支持了。

Some parents worried it would eat into lesson time. We invited them to read with us at school; after experiencing it, most were supportive.

男吳小姐，您是台灣少數的女性廚師主廚，當初為什麼會走進廚房？

Ms Wu, you're one of Taiwan's few female head chefs. Why did you go into the kitchen?

女我外婆在台中開了五十年的小吃店，我從小就在店裡幫忙。大學我讀的是會計，畢業後在銀行上班，可是總覺得少了什麼。二十八歲那年，我辭職去法國學了兩年的廚藝。

My grandmother ran a snack shop in Taichung for fifty years, and I helped there as a child. I studied accounting at university and worked at a bank, but always felt something was missing. At twenty-eight I quit and spent two years training as a chef in France.

男您的料理有什麼特色？

What is special about your cooking?

女我用法國的技法，做台灣的味道。例如把外婆的滷肉做成法式的燉菜，用的是台灣本地的豬肉和醬油。我希望讓外國客人吃到台灣的家常味。

I use French techniques for Taiwanese flavours — turning Grandma's braised pork into a French-style stew with local pork and soy sauce. I want foreign guests to taste Taiwanese home cooking.

男身為女性主廚，有沒有遇到不公平的對待？

As a woman chef, have you faced unfair treatment?

女剛開始，有些廚師不太願意聽我的指示。我沒有跟他們爭吵，而是用每一道菜證明自己。現在我的廚房裡有一半是女性廚師。

At first some cooks were reluctant to take my orders. I didn't argue; I proved myself with every dish. Now half the cooks in my kitchen are women.

第 5 段　More and more Taiwanese choose 'green burial' for relatives: no headstone or grave, but ashes buried under trees, scattered in gardens or at sea. It has spread partly because urban land is limited and traditional cemeteries are hard to find, and partly because attitudes have changed — many feel returning to nature is the best end to life. The share choosing it has risen from two per cent ten years ago to about fifteen per cent now. But obstacles remain: some elders feel that without a grave there's nowhere to worship and descendants will have nowhere to remember them. So some counties have memorial walls in green-burial areas where names can be carved, and there are online remembrance platforms for family far away.

旁白近年來，越來越多台灣人選擇以「綠葬」的方式處理親人的後事。所謂綠葬，是指不立墓碑、不建墳墓，而是把骨灰埋在樹下、撒在花園，或灑入大海。這種做法的興起，一方面是因為都市土地有限，傳統墓地越來越難找；另一方面，也反映了人們觀念的改變：許多人認為，回歸自然才是生命最好的結束。根據統計，選擇綠葬的比例已經從十年前的百分之二，上升到現在的百分之十五左右。不過，綠葬在推廣上仍面臨一些阻礙。部分長輩認為沒有墳墓就無法祭拜，擔心子孫將來無處追思。為此，有些縣市在綠葬區設置了紀念牆，讓家屬可以刻上親人的名字，也有線上追思平台，讓遠在外地的家人也能表達思念。

第 6 段　Students, today's talk is 'Sleep and Learning'. Many stay up late before exams thinking they'll remember more. But brain research shows sleep is a key stage in forming memories: new information learned by day is organised by the brain during deep sleep and moved from short- to long-term memory. Without enough sleep the process is interrupted, and however much you read, you can't recall it in the exam. In one experiment, two groups learned the same words; one slept normally, the other stayed up all night; the next day the sleepers remembered nearly forty per cent more words. So rather than staying up, start early, read a little every day, and keep seven to eight hours' sleep. Also avoid your phone in the hour before bed: blue light from the screen disrupts sleep.

旁白各位同學，今天的講座主題是「睡眠與學習」。很多學生在考試前習慣熬夜讀書，以為這樣可以多記一點內容。但腦科學研究發現，睡眠其實是記憶形成的關鍵階段。白天學到的新資訊，會在我們熟睡的時候被大腦整理，從短期記憶轉換成長期記憶。如果睡眠不足，這個過程就會被打斷，就算讀了很多，考試時也想不起來。研究人員曾經做過一個實驗，讓兩組學生學習同樣的單字，一組正常睡覺，另一組整晚不睡，結果第二天的測驗中，有睡覺的那一組記住的單字多了將近四成。因此，與其熬夜讀書，不如提早開始準備，每天固定讀一點，並且保持七到八個小時的睡眠。另外，睡前一小時最好不要使用手機，因為螢幕的藍光會影響入睡。

第 7 段　Today I want to share Taiwan's experience of 'community building'. From the 1990s the government encouraged residents to identify their community's problems and find solutions together, rather than waiting for the government. Take Taomi in Nantou: badly damaged in the 1999 earthquake, with many houses collapsed and young people leaving. With experts' help, residents found the area rich in frogs and dragonflies and decided to develop eco-tourism; they trained as eco-interpreters and turned old houses into guesthouses. Over a decade or so Taomi went from a declining farming village to the well-known 'Frog Village', drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors a year. The example shows that community building depends not on big construction budgets but on residents' participation and identification with their home.

旁白今天想跟大家分享的是台灣的「社區營造」經驗。90年代以後，政府開始鼓勵居民自己發現社區的問題，並且共同找出解決的辦法，而不是凡事都等政府來做。以南投的桃米社區為例，這裡在1999年的大地震中受到嚴重破壞，許多房子倒塌，年輕人也紛紛離開。後來，在專家的協助下，居民發現社區裡有豐富的青蛙和蜻蜓，於是決定發展生態旅遊。他們接受培訓，成為生態解說員，並把舊房子改成民宿。十幾年下來，桃米從一個沒落的農村，變成了知名的「青蛙村」，每年吸引數十萬名遊客。這個例子說明，社區營造的關鍵不在於大筆的建設經費，而在於居民的參與和對家鄉的認同。
