??Hermione 2020.10.21 14:39 (London) ThankYOUKey WorkersYou are True Heroes (if you don't know about key workers, check two links at the end of this article.) 在你眼里，自己是一座孤島嗎？不妨開始書寫，你筆下的文字，能通到我這里，也能通到世界各地，甚至還能穿越時空。 Do you see yourselfas a lone island? Why not start writing?The words you write, pave the way to my place,connect to other corners, and even do time travels. 這篇推送是受到Luna的啟發(fā)寫的（想了解她更多們可以看她曾經(jīng)參與的#EachforEqual挑戰(zhàn): Luna與科學的故事 #EachforEqual 【In English and Chinese 英中雙語）。 This post is inspired my dear friend Luna (if you want to know more about her, here is her story: Luna與科學的故事 #EachforEqual 【In English and Chinese 英中雙語】). 她今天給我和Andi發(fā)了一個很長的消息，問我們是否愿意寫一下自己在2020年的一個感受，是否感到孤獨？有什么希望和期待？有什么自己在疫情前沒有注意到、逐漸意識到原來這件事對自己很重要？我覺得這么好、這么有意義的事情，當然要讓更多或許也會感興趣的人知道，所以寫了這篇推送，倡議一下。 這件事之所以好，也和做這件事的人有關。她是一個有一顆金子般赤誠的心的人，而且她的筆觸也很優(yōu)美簡潔。所以你寫的文字會被認真地閱讀，也會觸發(fā)她新的思考。等她寫好了，我也會和她商量，希望能夠翻譯成中文，讓更多人可以看見、讀到。 這件事之所以有意義，是因為這些問題都是叩擊靈魂的問題，會讓步履不停的人，稍稍停下來想一想，我到底有什么樣的感受？我未來又希望過上怎樣的生活？參與這次寫作，你有機會觸發(fā)更多思考與真誠的對話。 下面是她傳遞的訊息： 我想寫一些和封鎖有關的文字，聚焦于孤獨感，來紀念這段艱難的時光，同時也想發(fā)現(xiàn)一些我們可以從中學到的經(jīng)驗教訓。如果你有一些時間，能寫一小段關于今年孤獨感（有沒有/如何）影響了你，就太好了。 我有想到一些相關的問題供你參考，但你可以寫完全不同的內(nèi)容：
2020年對你來說意味著什么？
你有和你愛的人好好相處嗎？
你有沒有感到孤獨？你會怎么描述這種感覺？
如果你今年感到了孤獨，你找到了什么解決方案或方法去避免它嗎？
如果你在2020年之前就已經(jīng)覺得孤獨了，今年有什么不同嗎？
看情況新冠疫情會延續(xù)到2021年，你希望看到什么？又有哪些恐懼？
你有沒有注意到之前一直被你忽視的、其實對你很重要的事情？
當我們不再需要疏遠/孤立自己的時候，你最期待什么？
Luna sent me and Andi a long message this afternoon, asking if we would like to write something as she plans to write something. This is a good event as the person who initiate it has a golden heart and writes in an elegant simple way. So what you write down will be read carefully and may bring new thoughts to her. I will ask for her authorisation to translate her work. The event is meaningful to you as her thought-provoking questions will help you slow down and take a break. If you take this challenge, you get a chance to talk to yourself in an intimate way: what's on the earth are you feeling? What future do you want to live? Participating in this would produce and evoke more thoughts and conversations. Here is her original message: I’d like to write something about the experience of lockdown, with a focus on the feeling of loneliness, to commemorate how difficult it has been but also to discover the lessons we have learnt. If you have some time, it would be great if you can write a short piece about if/how loneliness has affected you this year. I have some questions to think about below, but you can write something completely different if you like. - What has 2020 meant to you?- Have you been able to spend time with the people you love? - Have you felt lonely? How would you describe that feeling? - If you have felt lonely this year, have you found solutions or ways to avoid it?- If you felt lonely before 2020, what makes this year different? - What are your hopes and fears as the pandemic continues into 2021? - Have you noticed something important in your life that you hadn’t paid attention to before?- What are you looking forward to the most when we no longer need to distance/isolate ourselves? 我就不具體分享我寫的文字了，不希望這篇推送太長。我想傳遞的訊息是： 我在這，愿意和你聊聊你的孤獨感。 如果你想選擇英文寫作，很好，你可以發(fā)給我看，也可以直接發(fā)給Luna。你寫好了可以私信問我她的郵箱。 如果你不想寫，但有話想說。無論你是選擇任何一個/幾個問題，還是你有問題，都可以和我約時間或者在微信上和我聊聊，也可以發(fā)給我的郵箱geowrite4u@gmail.com。我也很期待你寫信給我，因為這是我最喜歡的一種方式。當然你也可以選擇畫一幅畫、剪一個視頻。 總之交流的方式你來定，你要是不想寫字，那我來和你進行錄音的對話，我整理成文字，你看過之后，覺得可以，授權我翻譯成英文發(fā)給Luna。你可以選擇用真名還是化名或者匿名，你會看到翻譯稿和你的原話。在我發(fā)給她之前，你都可以隨時決定撤回你的同意。 雖然Luna和我都不是在做學術研究，只是在收集真人真事、真實感受，為自己的創(chuàng)作增添靈感，但要你覺得舒服，愿意分享，不舒服你隨時可以撤。 如果你英語不錯，想直接和Luna聯(lián)系，分享你與孤獨感的故事，當然可以繞過我，私信告訴我，我把她的郵箱發(fā)給你。 沒有時間限制，但如果是和我約時間語音聊一聊，而不是寫文字的話，建議還是和我提前約一個時間比較合適，也比較方便我們安排時間來共同完成協(xié)同寫作/創(chuàng)作。 I won't share my draft thoughts here as I hope this post in a readable length. The take-home message I want to deliver is: I am here, willing to talk with you about your loneliness. If you want to write in English, perfect, you can send to Luna by yourself, and I am happy to read if you want me to read before you send to her. I will tell you her email when you finish your wrting. If you do not want to write, but you have something want to say and would like to talk with me. Good, I write this to let you know that you are welcomed to talk with me through Wechat, or sending emails to this GEO email (geowrite4u@gmail.com) I set for readers. Feel free to be creative about what you want to express, you can write a letter, create a drawing or even make a video. If you have any doubts or futher thoughts, drop me a message. I will see if I can answer or comment. 現(xiàn)在我要結束我這篇推送了，用一句昨天想到后覺得會心一擊的話：Now I am going to end this post with a sentence came to me yesterday: 用心做的每件事都功不唐捐，會讓我們更靠近自己想看到和生活的那個世界。Every little thing you did with your heart will pave your way to the world you would love to see and live in. *key workers 從事關鍵工作的人1.https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-maintaining-educational-provision2.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/0/key-essential-workers-uk/
