情態副詞

基礎被動語態

Food, flags, and festivals, which are often talked about in schools,

學校常提到的飲食、國旗和節慶

are the visible parts that we rightly celebrate.

However, only when we look deeper, under the water,

只有我們看得夠深 能看到水下的部分

are we able to focus on the common values that connect us.

In what seems to be an increasingly troubled world,

儘管身處於這個 看似越來越混亂的世界

where social and political systems are being stretched,

conflict within and between countries is at times heightened,

this desire for peace grows ever stronger.

但人們追求和平的渴望更加強烈

Sometimes we see this common value emerging above the surface

有時，我們會看到 不同文化的共同價值浮出水面

and becoming visible. For example, it is part of everyday language used

逐漸為人所知 例如我們會用日常語言

when people greet one another and welcome the new day.

In many parts of the Arab world and parts of south Asia,

在阿拉伯世界與南亞的許多地區

the greeting of "as-salamu alaykum" can be translated to "peace be with you."

問候語「阿撒拉瓦哩庫」(as-salamu alaykum)可譯為「祝你平安」

The same is true as you walk through markets or into schools

相同的，當你早晨走過市場 或走進學校

each morning in India, or Nepal, or Bhutan,

where greetings of "namaste," which has not only a strong message of peace

說「那摩斯戴」(namaste) 不只是強有力的問安訊息—

- "the spirit in me greets the spirit in you" -

but also its physical gesture, the palms brought together slowly at the heart,

更用手勢，慢慢雙手合十 到胸口位置

來榮耀我們的心 每個人最特別的位置

In Myanmar, greetings of "mingalarbar" are met by bowing monks

在緬甸，僧侶互相鞠躬，說 「明格拉吧」(mingalarbar) 打招

as they internalize a message where others add blessing

是在內化一個訊息：眾人祈福、

to enhance the auspiciousness of the moment,

or by giggling children as they scurry off to school.

跑去上學的孩子也笑著互相祝福

After many hours of hiking through the mountains of Lesotho,

在賴索托山區經過好多個小時步行

surrounded by the tranquility and rugged terrain,

you are likely to meet a herdboy who has slept the night

你可能會碰到在圓茅舍睡醒的牧童

in a vacant rondoval and bellows out greetings of "lumela"

中氣十足的喊：「魯美拉」 (lumela)、

or "khotso", which means "peace be with you."

或是「酷的說」 (Khotso) 意思都是「祝你平安」

If you took a moment to research further the meanings behind "shalom,"

如果你花點時間研究希伯來文 「色蘭」(shalom) 背後的涵義

you would find that they too have deeply-seated connections to peace.

你會發現這些詞 都與「平安」關連甚深

made to welcome, greet, and say hello, and in this overuse,

只用來歡迎、問候和打招呼 因此在過度使用下

have likely lost the focus that was originally intended

when put into practice hundreds or thousands of years ago.

In highlighting this simple evidence of ingrained behavior,

我們指出了這些固有行為的 簡單的證據

we can create the necessary shift in thinking

我們也可以創造必要的思維轉變

needed to incorporate flexibility and open-mindedness

in us all when looking at the globalization of the world.
