I went to see the documentary film “We Have a Dream.”

The film portrays children with disabilities from countries around the world and their efforts.
One line that particularly stayed with me was, “Disability is not inability.”
我去看了纪录片《We Have a Dream》。

这部纪录片展现了世界各国残障儿童努力奋斗的身影。
其中有一句话让我印象特别深刻：“Disability is not inability.”（有残障不代表没有能力。）
The dress shirt shop I have been going to for nearly 20 years is going to close.
The owner has grown older and is no longer able to continue working. I am truly saddened that the shop will be closing.
Every dress shirt I wear was made for me at this shop. No matter how particular my requests were,
the owner always accepted them without complaint and made the perfect shirts for me.
I have worn the shirts made for me there for more than ten years, having them repaired many times along the way.
I recently went to the shop in person to say goodbye. When it was time to leave, I almost found myself in tears.
It seems that shops in Japan that still make dress shirts by hand have all but disappeared.
我光顾了近20年的那家衬衫店，要关店了。
店主年事已高，已经无法再继续工作。想到这家店就这样结束了，我真的感到非常难过。
我每天穿的衬衫，全部都是在这家店定做的。
无论我提出多少挑剔的要求，店主总是什么也不说地一一接受，为我做出最完美的衬衫。
这些衬衫，我一边反复修补，一边穿了十多年。
前些天，我特意去了店里，当面向店主告别。离开的时候，我差点流下眼泪。
如今在日本，似乎已经很难再找到手工制作衬衫的店了。
I attended a symposium on medical care for foreign patients.
I cannot say that I know much about healthcare systems overseas, but I felt a little disappointed that discussions like this still seem particularly necessary in Japan.
Surprisingly, around 200 people attended the event. Most of them were not healthcare professionals, but foreign residents living in Japan, and they came from countries all over the world.
Apparently, two of the main concerns foreign residents have when visiting hospitals in Japan are:
I had assumed that language barriers and medical expenses would be their biggest concerns, so this made me reflect deeply on my own assumptions.
我参加了一场关于外国人就医问题的研讨会。
虽然我并不了解海外各国的医疗情况，但想到这样的议题似乎在日本尤其需要被讨论，还是让我感到有些遗憾。
令人惊讶的是，当天现场大约有200人参加。而且大多数人并不是医疗从业者，而是居住在日本的外国人，他们来自世界各地。
据说，外国人在日本去医院时比较困扰的主要是：
我原本一直以为，他们最担心的应该是语言问题和医疗费用。听到这些之后，我也认真反思了自己原有的想法。
I went to see the musical starring Sarah Brightman.

The theater was completely full. Not only was Sarah’s singing breathtaking, but the stage design and the performances of the rest of the cast were also outstanding.

我去观看了由 Sarah Brightman 主演的音乐剧。

当天剧场座无虚席。不仅莎拉·布莱曼的歌声令人惊艳，舞台布景和其他演员的表演也同样精彩。

I watched a documentary about Robin Lim, a midwife working in Bali, Indonesia.
Robin Lim is often called the “Mother Teresa of modern times.”
For more than 30 years, she has provided gentle childbirth care free of charge, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Watching her story made me wonder: how can someone transform anger into love, just as she does?
我去观看了一部关于 Robin Lim 的纪录片。她是在印度尼西亚巴厘岛工作的助产士。
Robin Lim 被誉为“现代的特蕾莎修女”。
三十多年来，她坚持全年无休、全天24小时免费提供温柔的分娩服务。
（很遗憾，目前没有中文官方网站。）
看完这部纪录片后，我不禁思考，怎样才能像她一样，把愤怒转化为爱呢？
