[Paris café / 巴黎咖啡店] Café Méricourt（中文請按「繼續閱讀」）

I had a light but hearty lunch at this bright and cute little café the other day, catching up with Linda @Yellow Sweets (Instagram @hinalys). The Green Eggs and Feta in pan is the green version of their famous Shakshuka, filled with soft spinach leaves and dressed with pine seeds and feta cheese. I chose the Congee Bowl as I did crave some Asian comfort food. And it surprisingly turned out to be what we both loved most that day. The tender spice of ginger and corianders have brought me home. The slice of lime gave a fresh boost. Although the pancakes did not really meet our expectations, but we did enjoy a good time there.

Spring in Paris always comes slow, but it's almost there, at least on our table ☘️🌿.

巴黎的春天時陰時晴、乍暖還寒。陽光有時只是溫柔的騙局，但巴黎人多半願甘心地領受。

我和好友Linda趁著陽光露臉的空檔，在Café Mericourt（Café Oberkampf的姐妹店）享用午餐。菜單上的每一樣其實都很吸引人，但我那天的胃特別想念熱熱的亞洲食物，所以挑了有蘑菇、青蔥和太陽蛋的熱粥。Congee在巴黎咖啡店是很chic的食物，但我只是想從連日的忙亂疲累中得到一些撫慰。本來沒有太多期待，但它意外地美妙，掌握得恰到好處的鹹味，搭配我熟悉的薑、青蔥與芫荽的香氣，雖然選用的是類似risotto的圓米，口感較為粗獷，但整體而言很細緻地傳達了亞洲風的溫柔細膩。

Linda選的Green Eggs and Feta是在平底鍋中放了柔軟的菠菜、洋蔥，再加上松子、feta cheese等提味，大概是因為灑了一些檸檬汁，有點清爽的酸味。盤中新鮮的香草與綠色調讓整個餐桌充滿了春天的氣息。

餐後的鬆餅因為醬汁的甜度與水果的酸不太協調、再加上我們沒有非常喜歡搭配的ricotta cheese，所以較為遜色，不過我們仍然度過一段很愉快的用餐時光。

Café Mericourt在地鐵九號線St. Ambroise站附近安靜的小巷中。據說週末也是人潮洶湧，但平日還是能享受片刻寧靜。

[時事英文] 言論自由與冠狀病毒
　
在自由的社會中，每位公民都能依照個人的自由意志來行使權利。言論自由讓每位公民都能監督政府，要求政府改變不公不義的法規與政策。
　
In a free society, all citizens must be able to pursue their own paths, set their own goals, and think for themselves. The freedom of speech safeguards these rights as it enables us to challenge and change government regulations and laws we find oppressive and unjust.
　
歷史表明，在缺乏監督機制的情況下，政府的絕對權力將導致絕對的腐化。即便有些言論不合我們的心意，但禁止人們發聲不僅限制了言論自由，也剝奪了人們聽取他人意見的權利。禁止言論，並不能禁絕思想。唯有透過對話與協商，才能達成共識，而使社會進步。
　
History has shown that without the corrective mechanism of free speech, governments would consolidate their powers without regard for the rights and freedom of those whom they ought to serve. To deny people of free speech is a double wrong, because doing so would also deprive people of the right to listen, even though some speech would undoubtedly make us feel uncomfortable. Banning certain speech would not result in the elimination of ideas. It is through engagement and negotiation that we can reach consensus and progress as a society.
　
每個人都應享有批評政府的權利，而無需擔心遭受迫害。這也是當今公民得以贏得諸多權利的原因。言論自由是值得全體人類努力爭取的基本人權。
　
All people ought to have the right to criticize their government without fear of persecution, because it is how we have won the rights we have today. The freedom of speech is a fundamental human right and it’s worth fighting to protect.
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
《紐約時報》報導：
　
Trevor Noah, the host of “The Daily Show,” has won praise on the Chinese internet for his searing criticism of the Trump administration’s mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic. So has Jerry Kowal, an American who makes Chinese-language videos chronicling the dire situation in New York.
　
1. win praise 贏得讚賞
2. searing criticism 猛烈抨擊
3. mishandle (v.) 對⋯⋯處理不當
4. chronicle 記錄
5. a dire situation 可怕的情況
　
因為猛烈抨擊川普政府對新冠病毒疫情的應對不當，《每日秀》主持人特雷弗・諾亞（編按：中國網民給他取了一個暱稱叫崔娃）在中國的網路上備受讚賞。受到追捧的還有郭傑瑞，作為美國人，他製作的中文影片記錄了紐約的可怕情形。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
China’s response to the virus has its own sharp-eyed critics at home, and they have found a vastly different reception. One resident of the virus-struck city of Wuhan who writes under the name Fang Fang documented despair, misery and everyday life in an online diary, and has endured withering attacks on social media. Three citizen journalists who posted videos from Wuhan in the first weeks of the outbreak disappeared and are widely believed to be in government custody.
　
6. response to 回應
7. sharp-eyed 眼尖的；目光敏銳的
8. a vastly different reception 截然不同的對待
9. virus-struck 病毒侵襲
10. document (v.) 記錄
11. endure attacks 忍受攻擊
12. withering 令人難堪的；嚴厲的
13. be in government custody 被政府監禁（或拘留）
　
中國對疫情的應對在國內也引發了尖銳的批評，但這些批評者卻遭到了截然不同的對待。在病毒肆虐的武漢，一位筆名方方的居民用網路日記記錄了人們的絕望、痛苦和日常生活，結果她在社群媒體上遭到了猛烈的攻擊。在疫情暴發的前幾週，三位在武漢發布影片的公民記者失蹤了，人們普遍認為政府把他們抓走了。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
The pandemic unfolded dramatically differently in China from the way it has in the rest of the world — at least, if one believes state-run Chinese media. Chinese news outlets used words like “purgatory” and “apocalypse” to describe the tragic hospital scenes in Italy and Spain. They have run photos of British and American medical workers wearing garbage bags as protective gear. A lot of the same miseries happened in China, but those reports were called “rumors” and censored.
　
14. pandemic 全球性流行病
15. unfold 展開；顯露
16. state-run 國營；國有
17. news outlet 新聞出處
18. purgatory 煉獄
19. apocalypse 末日（天啟）
　
在中國，這場大流行的展現方式與世界其他地方截然不同——至少，如果你相信中國官方媒體的話。中國的新聞媒體用「煉獄」和「末日」這樣的詞來描述義大利和西班牙醫院裡的悲慘情形。它們還登載了英國和美國的醫務人員把垃圾袋當防護服的照片。中國也有很多類似的悲劇，但那些報導被稱為「謠言」而遭到刪除。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
The death of Li Wenliang, the whistle-blowing doctor in Wuhan, on Feb. 6 galvanized many Chinese people into demanding freedom of speech. Online sentiment became much more skeptical, and many young people openly challenged the party’s message.
　
20. a whistleblower 吹哨者
21. galvanize somebody into… 激起；使震驚
22. freedom of speech 言論自由
23. online sentiment 網路輿情
24. skeptical 存疑的；持懷疑態度的
25. openly challenge 公開挑戰（或質疑）
　
２月６日，武漢吹哨醫生李文亮的去世激起了許多中國人對言論自由的要求。網路上的懷疑情緒更多，許多年輕人公開質疑黨的訊息。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
Then the United States and other countries bungled their own responses, and China’s propaganda machine saw an opportunity. Using the West’s transparency and free flow of information, state media outlets chronicled how badly others have managed the crisis. Their message: Those countries should copy China’s model. For good measure, the propaganda machine revved up its attacks on anybody who dared to question the government’s handling of the pandemic. For many people in China, the push is working. Wielding a mix of lies and partial truths, some young people are waging online attacks against individuals and countries that contradict their belief in China’s superior response.
　
26. bungle 弄糟；（笨手笨腳地）把……搞砸
27. propaganda machine 宣傳機器
28. see an opportunity 看見機會
29. manage a crisis
30. transparency 透明度
31. free flow of information 資訊的自由流動
32. chronicle (v.) 記錄
33. rev up sb/sth（使）活躍；（使）積極
34. dare to question 敢於質疑
　
後來，當美國和其它國家搞砸了各自的疫情應對時，中國的宣傳機器看到了機會。中國官媒利用西方媒體的透明度和資訊的自由流動，記錄了其它國家在應對危機時的糟糕表現。他們的訊息是：這些國家應該效仿中國模式。此外，宣傳機器還加大力度，攻擊那些敢質疑中國政府處理疫情方式的人。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
Many of the same people praising Mr. Noah have been slinging arrows and rocks at Fang Fang, whose real name is Wang Fang, for telling the truth about China. Her diary was moderate and personal, and a place where many of us turned for comfort during the darkest hours of China’s epidemic. But after Harper Collins announced plans to publish it in English, tens of thousands of online users descended on her Weibo account, saying she was a traitor for supporting the enemy’s narrative.
　
35. sling arrows and rocks 口誅筆伐
36. tell the truth about 說了關於⋯⋯的實話
37. moderate 溫和的
38. turn to comfort 尋求慰藉
39. the darkest hours 最黑暗的時刻
40. descend on 突襲；向⋯⋯湧來
41. a traitor 叛徒；賣國賊
　
在這些讚美諾亞的人中，有很多卻對真名為汪芳的方方口誅筆伐，就因為她說了關於中國的實話。她的日記是溫和而私人的，在中國疫情蔓延最黑暗的時刻，我們中的許多人都在這裡尋求安慰。但在哈珀柯林斯出版社宣布計劃出版該日記的英文版後，成千上萬的網民攻擊了方方的微博帳號，說她在支持敵人的敘事，是個賣國賊。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
The online backlash has been so severe, Fang Fang wrote on Weibo, that it reminds her of the Cultural Revolution, the decade of political violence and chaos that she saw as a child. The only comfort, she wrote, is that “this type of Cultural Revolution is only conducted in cyberspace.”
　
42. online backlash 網路上的強烈反對
43. the Cultural Revolution 文化大革命
44. remind sb of sth 使⋯⋯想起⋯⋯
45. political violence and chaos 政治暴力與混亂
　
方方在微博上寫道，這種網路叫罵是如此嚴重，令她回想起兒時目睹文化大革命的政治暴力和混亂的十年。唯一的寬慰是「這種文革只在網路空間進行著」，她寫道。
　
★★★★★★★★★★★★
　
May everyone in the world have the freedom to criticize their governments without fear. May we, no matter what our opinions are, speak out to safeguard human rights.
　
願世人都能享有言論自由，批評政府時無須擔驚受怕。即便意見相左，都能為捍衛人權而奮鬥。

＃疫情英文

This is a highly requested recipe and we’re excited that we can finally dish it out to you. Roland got this recipe from our uncle who is a retired zichar chef. It took him a few tries and a few consultations with his cousin who is still a zichar chef, to get this right. Hopefully you can make this recipe on your first try. Roland's cousin suggested that we use Thai yam because its texture is the best for yam ring so if possible, get Thai yam.

中文版视频 https://youtu.be/Gkr35uYtg3Q

According to Hungrygowhere, yam ring is a uniquely Singapore dish, which was first created as a vegetarian dish. Today yam ring or sometimes referred to as yam basket, has become a zichar staple. You can read more about the origin of yam ring here: https://www.hungrygowhere.com/gallery/the-history-behind-singapore-s-original-food-*gid-09a13101/fda80200

If you don't want to make the yam ring, you can also just cook the seafood and chicken stir fry as it is and it'll be a perfect meal too.

See the ingredient list below for your easy reference.

Ingredients:
Serves 4 - 5 pax

For yam ring
---------
300g Thai yam
1 teaspoon five spice powder (https://amzn.to/36oryqu or make it yourself https://youtu.be/4N39Ib8lIsQ)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
A few dashes of white pepper (https://amzn.to/2zqCvMa0
60g wheat starch (the one we used: Sunflower Wheat Starch - Tim Sum Flour https://fairprice.com.sg/product/sunflower-tim-sum-flour-wheat-starch-500g-147430)

90ml (slightly more than 1/3 cup) hot water
30g lard (can be replaced with margarine, butter or vegetable shortening)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder (https://amzn.to/2ZqpSvr)

Note: If you don't know how to get lard, just buy a piece of pork fat from your butcher and follow this video: https://youtu.be/PHlRSf6VpQo. The oil that comes out from the pork fat is lard - just let it cool down and then store it in the fridge and it will solidify. Use the crispy lard in your dishes by sprinkling some over. Super yummy!

2 cloves garlic
20g sliced carrots
125ml (1/2 cup) water
