歐巴馬當選演說

中英對照版

OBAMA: Hello, Chicago.

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.

We are, and always will be, the United States of America.

It's the answer that led those who've been told for so long by so many to be cynical and fearful and doubtful about what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.

It's been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this date in this election at this defining moment change has come to America.

A little bit earlier this evening, I received an extraordinarily gracious call from Senator McCain.

Senator McCain fought long and hard in this campaign. And he's fought even longer and harder for the country that he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine. We are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader.

I congratulate him; I congratulate Governor Palin for all that they've achieved. And I look forward to working with them to renew this nation's promise in the months ahead.

I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart, and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton ... and rode with on the train home to Delaware, the vice president-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.

And I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last 16 years ... the rock of our family, the love of my life, the nation's next first lady ... Michelle Obama.

Sasha and Malia ... I love you both more than you can imagine. And you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us ...to the new White House.

And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure.

To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I am grateful to them.

And to my campaign manager, David Plouffe ... the unsung hero of this campaign, who built the best - the best political campaign, I think, in the history of the United States of America.

To my chief strategist David Axelrod ... who's been a partner with me every step of the way.

To the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics ... you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you've sacrificed to get it done. But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you. It belongs to you.

I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn't start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington. It began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston. It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give $5 and $10 and $20 to the cause.

It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation's apathy ... who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep.

It drew strength from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on doors of perfect strangers, and from the millions of Americans who volunteered and organized and proved that more than two centuries later a government of the people, by the people, and for the people has not perished from the Earth.

This is your victory.

And I know you didn't do this just to win an election. And I know you didn't do it for me.

You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime - two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century.

Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us.

There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after the children fall asleep and wonder how they'll make the mortgage or pay their doctors' bills or save enough for their child's college education.

There's new energy to harness, new jobs to be created, new schools to build, and threats to meet, alliances to repair. The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term. But, America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.

I promise you, we as a people will get there.

AUDIENCE: Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can!

OBAMA: There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won't agree with every decision or policy I make as president. And we know the government can't solve every problem.

But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.

What began 21 months ago in the depths of winter cannot end on this autumn night.

This victory alone is not the change we seek. It is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were.

It can't happen without you, without a new spirit of service, a new spirit of sacrifice.

So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility, where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.

Let us remember that, if this financial crisis taught us anything, it's that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers.

In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.

Let's remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House, a party founded on the values of self-reliance and individual liberty and national unity.

Those are values that we all share. And while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress.

As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, we are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.

And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn, I may not have won your vote tonight, but I hear your voices. I need your help. And I will be your president, too.

And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces, to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of the world, our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand.

To those - to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security: We support you. And to all those who have wondered if America's beacon still burns as bright: Tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.

That's the true genius of America: that America can change. Our union can be perfected. What we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.

This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight's about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing: Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.

She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn't vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.

And tonight, I think about all that she's seen throughout her century in America - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can't, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.

At a time when women's voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.

When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.

AUDIENCE: Yes we can.

OBAMA: When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.


OBAMA: She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that We Shall Overcome. Yes we can.

OBAMA: A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.

And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change.

Yes we can.

OBAMA: America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves - if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?

This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.

This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.

Thank you. God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America.

選擇

回頭一看, 很多前輩的歷練與說過的話
真的需要重新溫習一下

最近開始上"劈雞歪萬"的社區課程
與其說到處晃晃, 還不如說是到處去認識不同世界的人

某個老前輩說過一句話:"外面的世界其實很大, 很不錯, 只是你們被這個大傘保護住後, 變得沒有這個勇氣出去看看"
外面的世界真的很大, 說不見得比較好, 是自己安慰自己的話
就像一個沒有到世界各處自助旅行過的人
其實沒有資格說自己在這個地方是最好的

認識了好多科, 好多人
除了不問書本上的東西, 其他什麼都問
問了越多, 才發現
雖然我跨出了這一大步, 現在才只在飛機上而已, 還沒到達目的地
回頭一看, 之前祖國對待國民的情況, 用"苛刻"兩個字來形容
一點都不為過

世界真的很大, 也很有趣
一但限制了自己的發展與眼界, 不好意思, 過了40歲, 45歲, 就定型了

有個學長說, 他目前的選擇有近10個
當時聽歸聽, 卻沒有多深的感觸
但當你可以有第二個選擇, 又出了第三個選擇
之後又出現了第四個選擇
我慢慢的能夠體會到, 這不是炫耀
這是一種驕傲與榮耀

簡哥上報

清晨起床看看報紙, 喝喝咖啡
看見中國時報有半身假人
很好奇的看一下在搞什麼東西
結果發現簡哥上報了
之前知道簡哥有篇OHCA journal
但卻沒仔細去看完這整篇內容
原來被部分翻成中文放到報上了

我好奇的是
照片裡的那個人是簡哥嗎...

Case_001_什麼診斷?

30 y/o male
CC: severe nausea, vomiting, palpitation, tremor, severe SOB, chest tightness for 1 day, heat intolerance, profuse diaphoresis,warm, moist skin

PHx: Thyrotoxicosis under Tx(R: Inderal, Serrapeptase, Methimazole). No DM Hx.
FHx: IDDM(His younger brother)

如果假設有這一個病患
Q1: 你的懷疑診斷是...?
Q2: 你會懷疑是DKA嗎?

接下來一些檢驗數值(因只聽轉述的, 只知道重點, 請反白)
PH=7.15左右
Acetone(++)
Glucose: 190(未治療前測的, 但打完不到一罐D5S)

Q1: 你的懷疑診斷是...?
Q2: 你會懷疑是DKA嗎?
Q3: 還是你擔心的跟我擔心的一樣, mortality rate 20%的那個鬼東西?

秋天的果實

等了許久, 終於到手了
其中某個單元, 有10張照片出自於Frank的相簿
某個角落的一張, 是Snow, Zoe, Chris的背影
很喜歡這樣的感覺, 這種被肯定的感覺

現在每天一樣很忙
每天都在前進, 都在學習
那種幹到爆的感覺也完全消失
不再自覺像原地打轉的陀螺

雖然薪水少了很多
但之前蓄積的能量, 在現在開花結果
希望現在蓄積的能量, 5年後也能有甜美的果實

泥棒偷鐵棒

[泥棒] 是日語中小偷的意思
但是這次家裡被偷的, 不是泥棒, 是鐵棒

高雄的家是透天厝, 想當然, 一定有必備的鐵捲門及小拉門
幾天前的中午, 晨泳後都有睡午覺習慣的老爸媽
發現....ㄟ....怎麼感覺門前怪怪的
好像什麼東西少了

老爸第一個就說"是誰把"大家恭喜"四個大字撕下了?"
老媽看了感覺不太對, 原來是整支金屬棒被幹走了(如上圖示)
景氣真的不是很好, e04~
而且同一天內被幹走2戶

幾天之後逮到了泥棒, 但找不到鐵棒
警察逮到泥棒後, 到藏贓物地點問他
"這些柱子是怎麼來的?"

"我不知道, 是朋友給我的"

好吧, 我做決定了
等明年準備入厝的克里斯和時尚廟公
我各送ㄧ支鐵柱給你們~

瘸人教育

以前上國小時
總是被要求要五育均衡德.智.體.群.美.
要有德, 要有痣....不....是要有智
體群美: 體力要好, 要找一整群的美眉...

上了大學
似乎是上什麼倫理還是公民課吧
下課後跟講師"很大聲的討論"

講師說:"你們什麼都要學深入, 要什麼都懂"
我說:"懂一項, 然後只有你最強, 其他的有需要再學"
然後討論到面紅耳赤

至今, 我的想法沒有變過
只是面對現在要實行的瘸人教育
目的在彌補及預防"類沙士"的再度發生嗎?
專精的次專教育有什麼不好?
非得要外科醫師搞的像到刀的內科醫師?
內科醫師搞得像大學教授?

不論再怎麼訓練, 下次送死的
都依然會是住院醫師,
只是這一次, 全部科別的住院醫師Mortality rate大都一樣
這就是瘸人教育的最大目的

目前瘸人教育只施行在住院醫師身上
其實最重要的, 是施行在資深主治醫師身上才對
上行而下效
只是如果沒有看見事情的源頭與關鍵
永遠只會是張開腿幫老闆賺錢的勞工

美好的假日

三十三年後轉了一圈, 又回到了原點
菩薩還在原點
"世界是由分子構成的, 分子是由原子構成的"
理論也沒有改變

但是在我的心裏
原點是這樣的美
這樣的浪漫
這樣的自然....

放鬆心情

宇宙開拓史主題曲─放鬆心情 (心をゆらして)

やっと気づいてくれたのですか
昨日おとして　しまったものを
それが何だか　わかりませんが
とっても大事なものだと　あわてて
追いかけても　手をのばしても
「昨日は遠くて　届きはしません」

心をゆらして　心をゆらして
さがせばいいのに
心をゆらして　心をゆらして

みつけてください
心をゆらして　心をゆらして
昨日へ帰って
心をゆらして　心をゆらして
あしたも　のぞいて

心をゆらして　心をゆらして
さがせばいいのに
心をゆらして　心をゆらして

みつけてください
心をゆらして　心をゆらして
昨日へ帰って
心をゆらして　心をゆらして
あしたも　のぞいて

我終於發現
昨日所失去的一切
雖然還無法完全體會
可是對我卻非常重要
加緊腳步追趕　伸長手臂追尋
「但是昨日已遠去　如今已隨風飄逝」

放鬆心情　放鬆心情
追憶也是甜美的
放鬆心情　放鬆心情
請別輕言放棄

放鬆心情　放鬆心情
回到昨日去
放鬆心情　放鬆心情
明日正在等著你

放鬆心情　放鬆心情
追憶也是甜美的
放鬆心情　放鬆心情
請別輕言放棄

放鬆心情　放鬆心情
回到昨日去
放鬆心情　放鬆心情
明日正在等著你

======================================
很多時候
其實沒有那麼堅強
偶而沒那麼堅強, 也是好事
