每日口說挑戰為何哥倫比亞接收了一百萬名委內瑞拉人？ (Why Colombia has taken in 1 million Venezuelans)

Venezuelans....姆，有點難唸


[筆記]
More than a million Venezuelans have moved to Colombia in recent years. And in an era of record setting migration, when borders seem to be getting thicker, harder to cross, Colombia is doing something that you don't see very often. It's opening its doors and it's letting people in.

近幾年，超過百萬名委內瑞拉人已經搬離至哥倫比亞，在這個移民潮創紀錄的時期，當邊境人潮越來越多，越難跨越時，哥倫比亞卻在做反常的舉動，它在打開國門，讓人們進來。

More than a million Venezuelans have moved INTO Colombia in recent years. And in an era of record setting migration, when borders seem to be getting thicker, harder to cross, Colombia is doing something that you don't see very often. It's opening its doors and it's letting people in.

May my bed isn’t warm enough to draw me back on my Monday morning.

（手機筆記，平常從公車打到捷運下車，今天打到進去咖啡廳，打完再上班setting out my blue Monday⋯）

Venezuela is rich in oil reserves.委內瑞拉富含石油儲量。

As one of the wealthiest countries in Latin America, but now the country is undergoing a hyperinflation（正遭受惡性通貨膨脹）.

*Annualized inflation in Venezuela is running more than 1000000 percent.

According to the news report,prices (物價）in Venezuela have been doubling every 26 days on average(平均上). And this has let many people in this country unable to afford basic items like food and medicine.

Even for those who have money, they are also struggling with shortages of all sorts of supplies（就算有錢的人也是為了生活用品短缺而掙扎） because almost all the stores and supermarkets were closed for good(店家和市場為了他們好而關閉). Not to mention the crime rate is climbing (更不用提犯罪率增加）and the their stress everyday. This is literally chaotic(這可說是混亂的).

Most of the basic supplies they needed were relied on imports from abroad. Once the oil price goes down, they cannot produce nor have money (他們不但不能生產也沒有錢）for those supplies to support themselves.

Many of the Venezuelans are fleeing （逃離）from their home and many countries are closing their borders in the era of record setting migration（在這移民創紀錄的時代）. Columbia is trying their best not to turn anyone away(哥倫比亞盡力不驅逐任何人）.

This is an end of an era.這是ㄧ個時代的結束。

Winnie sets a record for the most viewed video (影片創最多人觀看記錄）on VoiceTube.

Animal migration動物遷徙
*Millions of red crabs migrate across Christmas Island every year.(今天看到的影片，小紅蟹好可愛）

Many North Korean who fled across the border, spent years living underground(秘密的） in China.

*Defect缺點；動詞有叛逃之意

North Korean defector.脫北者

近幾年已經有超過百萬名委內瑞拉人搬到哥倫比亞了，而儘管在一個移民數量創新高的時代裡，各國國境的高牆似乎越變越厚、越來越難跨越，但歌倫比亞卻罕見地反其道而行，敞開其國門，讓他國人民移入。
【心得】國國有本難念的經。國家的經濟弱，國力就弱，只希望所有執政者如果真心愛護自己的國家，就好好拼經濟，不要浪費人民的錢，迫使人民得離開家園另謀生路。

我是覺得聽起來很像have moved in to Colombia啦…

* 念「委內瑞拉人」比念"Venezuelans"好念...（被踢飛）

Day 198

偷懶了2天
三天二夜郵輪之旅結束
謝謝VT大家的生日祝福
還收到了一張溫暖的「生日卡」
今天一樣來分享好聽的歌曲

Air Supply 的經典之一
歌詞內容是男人發現自己
給不了女人想要的，於是選擇離開
不再浪費女人的青春
至少還能在結束時
在對方心中留下一個美好的回憶⋯⋯

其實還蠻不認同這種作法¯\_(ツ)_/¯

《好歌分享》Goodbye

I don't want to let you down
我不想讓你失望
I don't want to lead you on
不想帶領你走
I don't want to hold you back
我不想挽回你
From where you might belong
從你歸屬的地方
You would never ask me why
你從來不問我原因
My heart is so disguised
我的內心充滿矯飾
I just can't live a lie anymore
我不能再活在謊言中
I would rather hurt myself
我寧願傷害自己
than to ever make you cry
也不願讓你哭泣
There's nothing left to say
除了再見
but goodbye
還能說什麼
