Because of the far-reaching availability of postal establishments and home delivery service in Taiwan, parcel post service has expanded significantly, particularly for mailing small items of clothes, food, gifts, tools, sample goods and drugs. | 對於小件物品如衣服、食品、禮物、工具、貨樣、藥品等最為合宜。每年收寄包裹的數字甚大。因此，郵政總局為適應社會各界需要，特別興建北部包裹機構處理中心，並且在全區各地郵局創辦封裝服務，以加強包裹郵遞速率。 |
Huang says, "War is tragic enough in itself, and I did not want to simply reduce people to tears. I wanted to convey hope, so I wrote 'Azaleas' as a joyful song about the beauty of a fresh March day." | 「但是，戰爭已經夠悲慘了，我不想讓人成天哭哭啼啼，我要帶給大家一個美好的希望，所以把『杜鵑花』寫成快樂的歌，淡淡的三月天，多美麗啊……」。 |
These include evening post offices in Taipei and Kaohsiung, packing and sealing services, prompt delivery, stamp collection centers, the establishment of a postal museum and the sponsorship of postage stamp exhibitions. | 目前，郵政當局為配合國內工商各業的發展，除了分別在台北及高雄兩地，設立夜間郵局各一所外，並且加強窗口服務，封裝服務，限時專送郵件，設立集郵中心，郵政博物館舉辦郵票展覽，並為公眾提供最佳的服務。 |
As early as the Han dynasty (206 B.C. - 220 A.D.), popular entertainment in China already included a wide variety of juggling, tumbling and magic acts. | 事實上、早在我國秦漢時期，每逢節慶，京師鬧市即有民間技藝團體的演出，內容豐富，所謂是「百戲雜陳」。 |
Such entertainment as dragon dances, lion dances, rope walking, walking on stilts, sword-swallowing, fire-spitting and braving a sharp sword with one's bare chest all had their origins in different periods of Chinese history. | 根據後漢張衡「兩京賦」的記載，漢朝的技藝有「曼衍」、「尋橦」、「跳丸」、「扛鼎」、「衝狹」、「燕濯」、「角觝」等等，也就是今天的舞龍舞獅，走索踩蹺、吞刀吐火，胸突銛鋒。 |
The upper class in British-ruled Hong Kong tended to gravitate toward the culture of Europe and America. Ordinary people, meanwhile, tended to listen to Cantonese operas. | 原本屬於英國殖民地的香港，上流社會只支持歐美文化，一般市民聽的則是廣東大戲。 |
"Forgetting" took the most time to compose, and is a piece that rivals "Azaleas" in its popularity. | 其中「遺忘」是黃友棣作品中，耗時最久的一首，受人注目的程度不亞於「杜鵑花」。 |
Wildfires are burning on the other shore, a bitter wind stirs the tree branches. All night I walk along the bank, only in order to forget. | 隔岸的野火在燒，冷風裡樹枝在搖；我終夜躑躅堤上，只為追尋遺忘。 |
But you are like a star in the sky, burning and consuming me all through the night. " | 但是你呀，卻似天上的星光，終夜繞著我，終夜繞著我，終夜繞著我，徜徉。」 |
Chung and Huang made their acquaintance in 1952, when Huang accepted an invitation to travel from Hong Kong to Taiwan for a concert. When he learned that Chung loved to sing, Huang asked if she would write a few lines of romantic verse that he could set to music, and thus augment his supply of working material. | 鍾梅音與黃友棣結識於民國 41 年，黃友棣應邀從香港來台灣舉辦音樂會，得知鍾梅音愛唱歌，黃友棣期望她寫一些抒情歌詞來譜曲，以充實教材。 |
Some say its gracefulness in breezes and its beauty against the background of blue skies or silver moon can cleanse one's soul and drive away worries. | 一年四季，寒暑交替，而枝不改，葉不落，蒼翠欲滴，風華絕代；既體態溫婉，又仙風道骨，無畏於寒霜，無懼於風雨；其拂雲篩月之情，足令人忘憂滌慮，其迎風帶露之趣，足堪卷楮寄興。 |
Chiaotou's Chiang Yao-hsien is a case in point. | 在橋頭，一路從青澀學生走到不惑之年的蔣耀賢，就是這樣一位靈魂人物。 |
Huang says this musical strategy was designed to reveal the true nature of the love described in the song. | 黃友棣說，這是用樂聲洩露真情的設計。 |
