📝酈英傑處長給台灣人民的道別信
「隨著我擔任美國在台協會處長的日子即將畫下句點，我也即將離開台灣，我想藉這個機會和大家分享，這一番歷練對我來說的意義是什麼。當我說擔任AIT處長其實是我這輩子的榮幸，也讓我得以實現長期職業生涯中的抱負與理想，這麼說一點也不為過。
我19歲時第一次離開家鄉，就是來台灣。對年輕的我來說，從那時起，台灣就成了交流與理解、探索與冒險的同義詞。台灣不僅有著讓人眼花撩亂的異鄉風情，也代表著意想不到的嶄新機會。我在這裡嘗試新奇的食物，像是水餃和臭豆腐，並且學習如何在擠滿單車和機車的大街小巷穿梭自如。一方面，我努力用我粗淺的中文，讓別人聽懂我說的話；但同時我也發現，無論走到哪裡，迎接我的都是滿滿的親切友善與熱情好客。
因此，在成為美國外交官後，能夠以台灣作為我派駐海外的第一站，真是再適合不過了。畢竟，是台灣首先點燃了我對亞洲、尤其是台灣的畢生興趣，也激發了我對跨文化理解和共享目標——也就是外交工作——的終身熱忱。此後，我也曾派駐其他地點，多數是在大中華區域，但我的台灣經歷與回憶始終常存我心。最終我能以美國駐台最高層級外交官的身分回來這裡，可說是我多年職涯的高峰。顯然，我這一生注定與台灣有著深刻的連結，或者也叫作「緣分」吧，才會讓我一次又一次不斷地回到台灣。
常有人問我，為什麼我這麼喜歡台灣。我總覺得：「答案不是很明顯嗎？」不過如果一定要我從個人與專業的角度，解釋我對台灣的喜愛與敬佩之情，我通常會提到以下幾個領域：
首先，台灣兼具活力與穩定、進步與延承、還有創新與傳統。每次回到這裡，我都對台灣社會在各個方面日新月異的進步感到驚艷不已。台灣的民主更臻成熟，經濟益加蓬勃，環境保護更受關注，藝術文化發展也生生不息。
台灣在許多最先進的科技產業上持續為全球創新樹立標竿，但與此同時，台灣的社會穩定和文化傳承依舊令人欽羨佩服。儘管生活充裕且形象良好，台灣人民卻依然謙虛樸實、平易近人。在台灣，最古老的傳統薪火相傳、歷久彌新。文化和歷史古蹟受到妥善的修復與保護；年輕人也可以學習代代相傳的書法技巧，接著再把作品秀在Instagram上。
再者，對美國來說，台灣正是共享利益與共享價值交集的典範。美台夥伴關係的重點在於確保科技發展能夠嘉惠、而非傷害我們雙方的經濟，科技突破則應被用於鞏固、而不是破壞我們的原則。美台之間自由、多元、平等及透明等共享價值，時時激勵我們努力在世界各地打造民主社會的韌性。而我們也持續尋求新的方式，為解決全球問題做出貢獻，這麼做不僅是因為能夠造福我們自己的人民，也是因為我們相信，身為21世紀敦親睦鄰的好夥伴，就是該這麼做。
最後，每當我想到台灣、以及整體美台關係，我總會想到希望、光明和成長。美台的情誼在過去40年來不斷拓展與茁壯。我相信每任處長都會同意，他們離開台灣時的美台夥伴關係，比起他們剛上任時都更上一層樓。同樣的，當我向AIT告別的那一天，我的心中將充滿肯定與成就感，因為我知道，美台夥伴關係比以往都更加深刻和強健，我也對自己能為美台關係今天亮眼的進展小有貢獻，而深感驕傲。
但是，比起這些事情，我想我更難忘的是台灣在我生命中所留下的深刻印記。我永遠會記得我在台灣度過的第一個聖誕節，還有第一個農曆新年。我永遠會記得台灣朋友的真摯與溫暖、教會同伴堅定的信仰、炎炎夏日來一碗芒果冰的沁涼、資源回收車沿街播放《給愛麗絲》的回音，還有巷弄中撲鼻而來的茉莉花香，這些都會是我畢生珍藏的美好回憶之一。我也會記得好友間的餐聚、充滿歡笑和故事的夜晚、以及一路以來我受到過的無數的善意與關懷。我更會永遠記得，是各位台灣朋友們，你們以各種不同的方式，讓我和我家人的生命更加地豐盛美好。對此，我要衷心地謝謝大家。
雖然我將離開台灣，但台灣不會離開我。」

📝A Farewell Letter from AIT Director W. Brent Christensen
"As my time as AIT Director draws to a close and I prepare to leave Taiwan, I want to take this opportunity to tell you what this experience has meant to me. It is not an exaggeration to say that this has been the honor of my life and the fulfillment of a career-long aspiration.
The first time I left my hometown at age 19, it was to come to Taiwan. From that early age, Taiwan became synonymous for me with the ideas of exchange and understanding, exploration and adventure. Taiwan represented both disorienting foreignness and unexpected opportunity, as I tried new food – like shuijiaos and qiu doufu – and learned to navigate my way through streets crowded with bicycles and scooters. And struggled to make myself understood with my rudimentary Mandarin. But all the while discovering the kindness and generosity that welcomed me wherever I went.
It felt appropriate for me to serve my first tour as a U.S. diplomat in the place that first sparked in me a lifelong interest in Asia – and in Taiwan in particular – and in cross-cultural understanding and shared purpose, or in other words, diplomacy. After that, my career took me to other places, but mostly still in the China region. But the memories of my experiences in Taiwan stayed with me. And finally having the opportunity to serve as the top U.S. diplomat to Taiwan was the culmination of all the years that came before. It is clear that I have a lifelong connection to Taiwan, or “yuanfen,” that has led me to return again and again.
People often ask me why I have such a fondness for Taiwan. “Isn’t it obvious?!” I always think. But when forced to explain my affection for and professional fascination with Taiwan, I usually come back to a few themes.
First, dynamism and constancy; progress and preservation; innovation and tradition. Every time I return to Taiwan, I am immediately struck by the many ways Taiwan has advanced as a society. Taiwan’s democracy grows more mature, its economy more prosperous, its environment more cared-for, and its arts and culture more vibrant.
Taiwan’s industry continues to set the benchmark for global innovation in some of the most sophisticated technologies, but at the same time, Taiwan society is remarkable for its stability and cultural continuity. Taiwan’s people, despite their relative wealth and stature, continue to be modest and unassuming. Taiwan’s most ancient traditions are alive and well. Cultural and historic sites are restored and preserved. Young people may learn calligraphy techniques handed down for generations, but then share their work on Instagram.
Second, for the United States, Taiwan exemplifies the intersection of shared interests and shared values. Our partnership is about making sure our economies are beneficiaries rather than casualties of technological development and ensuring that technological development advances rather than undermines our principles. Our shared values of freedom, diversity, equality, and transparency inspire our efforts to build the resilience of democracies around the world. And we continue to find new ways to contribute to global problem solving, both because it benefits our own peoples and because we share the belief that this is what it means to be a good neighbor in the 21st century.
Finally, I associate Taiwan – and the broader U.S.-Taiwan relationship – with hope, promise, and growth. This friendship has expanded and flourished over the past 40 years; I believe every person who has done this job walked away knowing they left this partnership better than they found it. I will similarly leave AIT with a sense of accomplishment and success, knowing that the U.S.-Taiwan partnership is deeper and stronger than ever, and feeling immensely proud of my small role in getting us there.
But more than any of these things, I will remember the ways that Taiwan has touched me personally. I will always remember my first Christmas in Taiwan – and my first Chinese New Year. I will remember the warmth of Taiwan friendship, the faith of my fellow church members, the taste of a mango bing on a hot summer day, the echo of “Fur Elise” from the recycling truck, the fragrance of jasmine blossoms in village alleyways – these are just some of the memories I will treasure. I will remember the long dinners with dear friends, full of laughter and stories. And I will remember their many kindnesses. I will remember all the ways big and small that you, the people of Taiwan, touched my life and the lives of my family. And for that, I thank you.
I may be leaving Taiwan, but Taiwan will never leave me. "
-- AIT Director William Brent Christensen

ทำไมไม่ถอยรถยุโรปสักคัน?
น้องที่สนิทกันถามขึ้นมาขณะดื่ม
เมื่อประมาณปีก่อน
...Continue ReadingWhy not back up a European car?
Close sister asked me while drinking
About a year ago
I smile for you...
What are you smiling at? I'm serious. (he asked)
I can drive comfortably.
Easy to pay installment.
I smile again
Then I think about a friend's brother.
5 years ago
His name is brother Dom.
He is human.
So bad. Cuddle Dec cuddle
Brother Dom used to be an employee.
Earn ten thousand per month.
So poor. Haha. Kiss when I talk at that time.
2-300,000 Per month
I told you that I like Benz. It's not.
Why don't you just pay for 6-70,000 months?
My money is left. (I said)
He smiles at me....
Hey, seriously.
You can drive now. (I repeat it)
He smiles at me again....
Until He did my hair. I feel like me.
Being extravagant
So I said.....
No, brother!
Is life for use, brother?
If you make money, you won't use it.
It's a pity to die.
He laughed....
Ready to say....
Yes! Unfortunately, it's a shame.
He's tall enough for me
He put my left arm on my shoulder
Ready to point right hand
Go to the building building....
Did you see that building?
Is that 100 Storey Building? (I ask)
Fuck over 10 me (he said a funny accent)
I smile (because I'm kidding)
You said he was addicted to wallpaper first.
Or did he put the pillar first?
I answer. It's a pillar!
What if you're gonna build your own house?
You will hire the mechanic to post the pole first.
Or hire someone to get addicted to wallpaper first?
Are you crazy?
No pole, no brick.
NO WALL CYMBALS
The house is not finished yet. the cement is not dry.
Will be addicted to wallpaper
How can it be? (I'm annoying)
He laughed out
And say...
Well... that's it!
How can you miss wallpaper?
When the structure of my building is not finished yet. (I smile)
What about you?
Getting addicted to wallpaper
On Air? (he asked me)
I swallow saliva
Words of words are plain.
Deep stabbing
That was back then.
I earn a hundred thousand per month.
There are 200,000 joint in some months.
I dare say...
I'm a happy early 20 s teenager
But after the sentence brother Dom said
I thought in my heart.
" what is my structure?"
I look at my car
I bought a few hundred thousand layout.
I decorated it for
It's a powerful and beautiful car for millions.
I'm out of fine
Because If anyone plays these cars will know
Unless it's with the mechanic than with us
There will be more things to do.
Ten thousand per month.
Every month
I look at the extravagant stuff I have.
I have all that people should have.
But I started to find the fact that...
My life has no structure at all
I don't have a pillar.
No bricks, no roof.
There are only plywood in the outdoors
And I keep spending money buying wallpaper
So beautiful.
I spent money on wallpaper
On Plywood with no roof
I think it's beautiful
Yes it's beautiful people appreciate it
And the more people appreciate
Oh, my God.
I'm getting more addicted to wallpaper
Make people know that my life is beautiful
But one day
The sky is not heart.
Really. No.
It's been over a year!
Year 54 flood
And Tsunami in Japan
I can't sell the car for 8 months.
Income is not in for 8 months.
That Day Wallpaper Stuck on plywood
Starting to get rained on
Starting to show the mess
Not recording that is strong frame
Starting to break down
Only debris left on the floor
Everything on the air is empty
No one can see
I can earn 3 million.
IN THE FIRST 2 years at work
But I only have 6 hundred thousand left.
But I have to live and watch family
For Another 8 months
I'm starting to think 2 years before that
I'm a student. I get money.
Going to study but 1,300 per week
I didn't show off anyone.
I can live.
I started separating some truth
In life out
I'm starting to realize
I'm starting to think about brother Dom's word.
Actually, actually.
I don't build any foundation
I keep getting addicted to wallpaper
Top, no sun!
There are only beauty.
But no stability at all
When there is wind or rain
Everything is ready to break down
When this incident passes
I'm lucky that I don't owe anything.
But there's almost nothing left
I remember. I have a few thousand left.
I used to earn millions.
This is a big life lesson
After crisis, I cut my mind to sell that car.
Before that, I was thinking
I love the car.
And I will get out of Europe as I want.
But the incident with brother Dom's words.
It makes me see the world.
"all goals"
"I still want the same"
"what I want, I have to take it in this life"
" but every time I would think...."
"structure must come first"
" I don't want it anymore. I don't have a pillar life
" but well decorated
Sofa is good
Good TV. Good carpet.
Wallpaper is good
But no roof "
" no
"take the frame first"
"if the structure is done"
"I don't mind decorating"
"it is considered to give happiness in life"
"that day, I will use the most. I don't mind"
I'm holding on to this.
Even later I come back
Earn the same income a year later
And more than before now
I didn't buy a European car.
As I thought at first
"I'm not starving for no reason"
" but I know what I'm patient for?"
"I knew how to be stuck in wall outdoors"
And I know what's most important right now
I always like to walk or drive
Go as there are various construction.
Because it makes me understand life
When I see a building built
The faster the building is built.
I can barely see any beauty
Apart from wood frame, steel and cement
It's sloppy and not pretty for a while.
Nothing to look at
Until it's full-sized high.
Until the day when the iron brace things.
Taken off from the building.
When the building can live on its own
After that, it started to have beautiful colors.
There are windows. Doors.
There is a decoration.
"and followed by wallpaper"
" and follow along.
The happiness of residents "
Brothers and sisters.
" don't you want it? (sister asked)
"I fell off what I thought"
" Let's look at what's in front of you
It's a sister "
Sister opened a picture of one of my favorite cars.
Then send that wallpaper picture
Enter my line "
Monthly Payment for a little hundred thousand.
I'm chilling.
Do you want it? Let's go to see. (that's sister)
I think bad, teacher...
Before Answering.....
Come on.....
When is our building done
Of course....
That day...
"we're going to order wallpaper"
