病毒掃美國

Hi, 羅先生 and Hakka Senbai,

三個月前,武漢肺炎就開使,嘛儕想到會變到今時今日這種情況;至少,看得出來,美國總統川普無想到,在第一時間,低估這種病毒(COVID-19)个嚴重性;故所以,「肺炎」疫情橫掃新大陸美國,掃到「面目全非」? 請點開下頭網站看看逐州个疫情,就了解各州傳染个病情。

病毒掃美國
打擊紐約最恐怖
紐約已經變鬼城

大華府首長
昨哺日下令封鎖(Lockdown)
違法者罰款五千 或坐牢ㄧ年

依照專家看
這種病毒盡會傳(也纏)
可能硬纏到秋冬

有兜專家講
想要防疫情變壞
一定愛下令封國(National lock down)

Whether President Trump will listen and take action or not, it’s everyone’s guess. Let’s pray and hope that we will be more united and get through this together.

Are you and the family doing okay in Taiwan? Just care and worry! Take care, will you?

到目前為止,看到臺灣當局處理一級棒,盡多國家打算效仿仰般做,對無?可惜,這個WHO單位,到今還係拍中國个「馬屁」,打死還係講「屁話」。看著這兜人个嘴面,斯「悲哀」兩個字」可以形容。

天祐 美國!

蒼鷺迎春過蜜月

Hi, Thomas , 羅先生 and Hakka Senbai,

中國肺炎疫
侵入美國當嚴重
染患人數飆最高(多)

政府下命令
Stay home and stop gathering (Social Distancing),
Let’s save lives together.

過濾性病毒
存在地球八千年
(搶)撩人類爭生存

病毒亂社會
家家戶戶受影響
日常生活大變動

借這好機會
戶外接觸大自然(試摸樹葉皮、試聽流水聲、試鼻花草香、試聽鳥唱歌、試看鳥飛翔)
希望「明日會變好」(註:1985 臺灣流行歌?)

華府迎春天
蒼鷺築巢渡蜜月
一夜春宵值千金

Let me share two photos of 「蒼鷺窩 」taken today with you. There are about 40 nests in 6 clusters or batches high on the trees(60 ft high) in the woods near Columbia, Maryland, USA. About 3 more weeks, chicks will be hatched and their cute, funny heads will stick out
from the nests. 

天祐 美利堅眾國!

中國肺炎燒

Hi, 羅先生 and All,

It looks like this pandemic of Chinese virus which President Trump chooses to call it will test the unity of American people and bipartisanship of the American Congress.  See the attached article below to witness the change of name.


中國肺炎燒
燒到美國五十州
全國入緊急狀態

病毒繼續燒
燒到華府白宮肚
川普總統滿面紅

肺炎燒地球
燒著美國股票跌
全球經濟一片亂
(Note: He looked  a bit tired at the last White House briefing after day and night’s grill from this pandemic mess.)

自家救自家
白宮送出好仙丹(Stimulus Package)
國會爭吵毋敢擔
(Note: It needs 60 votes to pass this 1 trillion package. 47 vs 47 is the first voting result.)

God Bless the United State of America!

2020 華府櫻花季

Hi, 羅先生and friends,

Just share a few photos taken at Tidal Basin yesterday with you. It’s very obvious that the crowd for Cherry Blossom is dwindling because of the outbreak of Chinese Coronavirus this year. President Donald Trump already declared National State of Emergency.  Most of museums, National Parks, National Zoo are closed to the public. DC government ordered all restaurants to close for 2 or more weeks on a voluntary basis (?).

一年過一年
華府櫻花又開咧
迎接春天介來臨

今年櫻花季
受中國肺炎衝撞
華府一半變空城(Note: 川普公開講 (Coronavirus comes from China)

潮汐湖頂行
人潮不如老頭擺
來去遊客少當多

景色依然在
湖水櫻花摻雕像(雕塑=landmark, statue?)
映出三百年歷史(美國个民主)(Note: From George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, FDR to MLK, Jr.)

To end this, May I share #1  羅斯福總統’s brainy quote with you all to get 
inspiration to boost Taiwan Hakka before it’s too late?

“We have always held to the Hope, the Belief, the Conviction that there is better life, a better world beyond the horizon.”

食到老 學到老

Hi, 羅先生,

承蒙您!從「客語詞庫」肚,查著三個例子:【躙力】、【躙命】、【躙死】,對冇?客家聲音 Nang, 來自中文拼音 Lin(蹂躙)確實冇想到。

難怪老人言(Old Proverb)
Never too old to learn! (食到老 學到老)
We  learn new thing day after day. (日夜學兜新知識)

搶救客母語
文字語詞有恁多
值得大家認到老(認=「學」&「教」)

記得先生講過,認真做自己的功課,共下下田作個「字彙拾穗者」,臺灣客家母語、文化,早慢一定會傳承世代。I sincerely hope that Grace would make commitment to write more H3LPs. To me, her Hakka proficiency in speaking and writing is superb and much better than Big Ben’s. As far as I remembered,  she came out to top every student at HAC’s 「海外客語教師研習班」at 臺師大10 years ago. With her charisma, I would like to see her inviting all previous 「世界臺灣客家同鄉會會長」,all previous 「北美臺灣客家會會長、理事們」and all 「臺灣客家諮詢委員」certified by HAC to join in writing a few H3LPs and then we can rise together to make Taiwan Hakka great and 「世代傳承客家文化」.

天祐 臺灣客家!

細人時 芭樂細又硬

Hi, 羅先生 and Friends,

Very good and excited to see you back. How have you been? Did Chinese Coronavirus hit our Hakka towns yet? The way I see the trend and pattern of spread this far, this disease will certainly hang around here and there for a long while. Agree?

記得老頭擺
庄下芭樂裝布袋
市場常透有人賣

想起細人時
食个芭樂細又硬
食多痾屎有好Ngan

I check Hakka dictionary for the word, Ngan but can’t seem to find it. Please help, anyone? Thank you.

等臺灣芭樂



Hi, 羅先生 and Hakka Senbai,

May I share two photos taken on Taiwan Guava at 99 Ranch Market owned by Taiwanese today? They are well packed to protect from Taiwanese/Chinese bad habit, 三挑四撿. It says, “Fresh from Taiwan, Hand Selected, Produce of Taiwan, PLU #4299” on each
small plastic bag.

等臺灣芭樂
一等再等兩個月
總算等到來華府

聽老朋友講
九九超市正入貨 
臺美人相報爭買

一磅$4.99
到底便宜也算貴
不過貨色贏洋貨(=local guava?)

華府戴恁久
首次食臺灣芭樂
真香、又脆、堵好甜

希望臺灣芭樂,打入美國傳統超級市場(Super Market),將”Taiwan Produce”登堂入室到美國家庭。臺灣芭樂加油,臺灣農委會加油,臺灣芭樂農民們加油!

天祐 臺灣!

台灣幸得蔡總統

Dear all,

Coronavirus slows down the Life pace.
Parties, group gatherings, shows & conferences... many activities are cutting down or postponed.  
Probably we have more time for H3LP?

38婦女節
女性領袖很出色
台灣幸得蔡總統

女權平等後
教育機會出頭天
耐心細節理頭緖

武漢肺炎疫
台灣出現新契機
種種作為展實力

大數據分析
最新科技的應用
專業判斷作決策

殖民400年
多元文化加科技
協力闖出一片天


台灣客家人
莫想中原講全球
協力建設台灣國

開放客委會
定期視訊談議題
邀請後生來參與

雲端打嘴鼓- 武漢肺炎

武漢冠病毒
中國人愛食野味
再次分世界麻煩
(上擺係SARS )

中世紀時節
黑死病傳到歐洲(鼠疫)
又係中國傳出去

武漢新肺炎
全世界十萬著到(已經係pandemic)
三千四百儕死忒(台灣正 45 例,一死)

台灣防疫佳
從sars學到教訓
病患少各國安腦

病毒會突變
幾時減輕冇人知
東京奧運添變數

台灣人團結
全國一心抗病毒
台灣意識空前高

客家文化圈
促客家文藝復興

全球連線眉目成


復興客文藝
人頭不如精交英多
中國客家慢慢來


母語係冇忒
文藝復興毋使講
事在人為愛拚勢


客人優點多
缺點乜當多難纏
自私硬殼難交流


自家不覺醒
萬事難起頭可惜
覺醒認同愛加強

三月初四 顛三倒四

Hi, 羅先生 and Hakka Senbai,

上億客家人
大部戴佇秋海棠
少數零星全世界

全球客家會
零零星星上百個
大數來自嗯臺灣

部分客家人
移民戴日本、巴西
偏偏供奉「崇正會」

民間客委會
仰般團結客家人
愛「天時、地利、人和」

借這三月初四,試看客家人性格,尋找「民間客委會」个可能性;參加各種客家會,毋知大家注意到,鄉親有以下个習慣:「推三阻四」、「說三到四」、「挑三撿四」、「拘三搭四」、「顛三倒四」、「欺三瞞四」,最後,一個「好客」(註:客委會好用這兩個字)个客家人,變成「不三不四」。其實,這兜性格,好好壞壞,幾十年來,就將臺灣變到:「冇聽客家話,客家人緊來緊少,客家文化、客家族群早慢會冇忒。」,對冇?照按人看,成立「民間客委會」,敢有可能完成?

Anyway, Big Ben will keep your thought and words in mind and reach out more folks to have their feedbacks.

民間客委會

全球客人雖上億
發揮力量愛團結
團結愛講究

團結方法論
使用母語最理想
一舉數得又簡便

民間客委會
連繫全球客家會
相輔相成展志願                                       

Hope Ben  and Thomas  could accomplished this mission!

期待那時出頭天

How emotional too see 羅先生‘s H3LP back after your long absence in 「推廣客家三行詩」!How wonderful to witness the recitation of 「臺灣 你介身份」by 阿龍哥 in the YouTube !With and without your permission, Big Ben would like to sneak in first to express
his immediate feelings on the subject in the following H3LP.

客人毋覺醒
毋講母語冇尊嚴
家祠再旺有仰般 (再靚外人嫌)

傳客家文化
毋係比祠堂大細(靚醜)
愛比大聲講客話

承客家族群
愛向原民會學習
設「語言研究發展基金會」

臺灣客家人
做人奴才四百年(奴才=長年?)
期待那時出頭天

Welcome back, 羅先生!You are very needed in this circle of H3LP.  阿龍哥, please extend BB’s congratulations to your lovely wife, Josephine and her team on 「LA’s 二二八心靈日/音樂紀念會」‘s accomplishment.
