Welcome to Da Ai Headlines. I”m Leeway Tsai. Thank you for joining us.

●Coming up in today”s show, Thailand”s Tzu Chi aid distributions for last year”s flood victims come to end, after reaching out to nearly 2,000 households.

●The onset of colorectal cancer has no obvious symptoms, making it hard to pick up on the disease. But now there is a new screening method for early detection.

●And, if you are in Taiwan, every time you shop at convenience stores, you can make a donation by telling the cashier to keep the change-- for an organization of your choice.

歡迎收看大愛英語新聞，我是蔡力薇，感恩收看。
●今天的提要，泰國慈濟為去年，受水患之苦的2千戶災民，舉辦物資發放，已經接近尾聲。

●大腸直腸癌病患，早期症狀不明顯，難以發現，不過現在有新的檢查方法了。

1.泰國發放圓滿

We kick off the show in Thailand, a country that has survived its worst flooding in half a century. Now, more than six months after the disaster, Tzu Chi”s efforts on behalf of the disaster victims continues unabated. Since mid-January, nearly 600 volunteers carried out distributions in 26 towns and villages throughout the central provinces of Nakhon Pathom and Ayutthaya, helping close to 2,000 households or 3,300 people recover.

節目一開始，我們來看泰國，半世紀最嚴重的水患已經過去，超過半年的時間，慈濟人的愛與關懷卻沒有停止，從從今年元月中，慈濟開始展開發放工作，將近600位志工，持續一個月的時間，在中部的大城府和佛統府等，26個鄉鎮社區，發放了約兩千戶家庭的物資，援助約3300人。

2.泰國迎新委

Staying in Thailand, to get ready for a new year of charity work, Tzu Chi volunteers organized a two-day seminar, and took advantage of the chance to welcome some new blood into the organization.

也是泰國的報導，舉辦兩天的志工精進研習，希望能有更多人加入慈濟大家庭，一同推動慈善工作。

3.政大師生訪馬

Taiwan National Chengchi政治 University”s Department of Religious Studies is planning to establish a center dedicated to religious research. As part of their preparatory work, professors and students flew to Malaysia-- a country with diverse cultures and faiths-- for field research. The group of delegates also visited Tzu Chi”s Jing Si Hall and dialysis center in Penang to understand how the Buddhist NGO promotes its work overseas.

台灣政治大學宗教研究所，預計成立一個宗教研究中心，他們前往馬來西亞進行考察及收集資料，主要原因是馬來西亞，為種族多元文化與宗教背景，政大師生們也特地到慈濟馬來西亞分會，了解慈濟志業如何在海外推展。

4.慈大訪印校
Social work students from Taiwan”s Tzu Chi University recently went to Indonesia on an educational tour. On Valentines” Day, they arrived in Cengkareng, in West Jakarta, to meet students from the local Tzu Chi School. Through a fun art lesson, the students - despite their age and language differences - connected with one another, marking another memorable episode in this overseas trip for the future social workers.

台灣慈濟大學社工系學生，前往印尼參訪，情人節當天，來到位於西雅加達金卡蓮的慈濟中小學，透過一堂美勞課，雖然語言、年紀不同，兩地的學生找到共鳴，慈大同學也對這次拜訪，留下愉快的回憶。

5.廈門居家關懷
Moving to Xiamen, China, Tzu Chi care recipients all have different stories: some have been involved in car accidents and can no longer work, while others have suffered mental breakdowns from too much pressure. Regardless of the difficulties that they face, the one thing that unites them is their courage to walk on, and their faith that they can turn to Tzu Chi in times of need.

鏡頭來到廈門，慈濟關懷戶都有自己的故事，有的因為車禍意外無法工作；有的則是壓力過大，造成精神失常。雖然生活很辛苦， 但是他們的共同點就是一份韌性，以及對慈濟的信念，相信只要有需要，慈濟就會伸出援手。

《 靜思語 》
Truth is a road worth following.

真理就是人生可行之路。

6.血液驗腸癌
In Taiwan, due to diet changes, which includes more refined and processed food, colorectal cancer is on the rise. As symptoms are not obvious till later stages, patients” survival rate has been low. Now, there is a new simpler and quicker screening method, that can help detect the disease early on.
在台灣，因為飲食習慣的改變，導致大腸直腸癌的病患逐年增加，由於早期症狀不明顯，治療存活率病不高，不過現在有種新方法，能更簡單更快的篩檢大腸直腸癌。

7.胃癌暈眩
In Taiwan”s Taichung, a middle aged man didn”t pay much attention to his constant dizziness, until he passed out and was sent to the Taichung Tzu Chi Hospital, where doctors discovered a tumor in his stomach. Doctors say, due to unhealthy eating, gastrointestinal tumors are on the rise in Taiwan, so it is advised that people should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, and go easy on seasoning to stay healthy.

在台灣台中一位中年男性，沒有理會常常發生的就會頭暈，結果有一次昏倒送到，台中慈濟醫院檢查後，才知道原來是胃部長了腫瘤，醫師說，近年來罹患胃癌的人數增加，部分原因是因為國人飲食習慣改變，因此呼籲大家要多吃蔬果、清淡飲食。

8.肝炎最新治療

There are about 600,000 people in Taiwan who have hepatitis C which is deadlier than hepatitis B, as the disease progresses much faster leading to cirrhosis and liver cancer. Though there is no vaccine for the viral disease, it is easier to treat than hepatitis B, and is completely curable. Now a new treatment can enhance the effectiveness of the traditional method by up to 30 percent.

在台灣C型肝炎的病患，大約有六十萬人，C肝比B肝更致命，因為病程發展快速，容易演變成肝硬化、肝癌，目前C肝仍然沒有疫苗，不過C肝比B肝容易治療，也能完全治癒，如今新的療程更能提升，傳統療法療效達到三成。

《 衲履足跡 》談大醫王 On Doctors
Rich or poor, when we are in pain or struck by illness, we all need a doctor, who we hope will have the heart of the Buddha and the compassion of a bodhisattva.

When we choose to become a doctor, our compassion should be inspired, and we should be determined to stick to our mission of saving lives.

無分貧富，身有病痛皆苦，唯仰賴醫療解救病苦，期待醫師能有佛心、菩薩情操；選擇當醫師，要先啟發慈悲心，篤定搶救生命的人生方向與使命。

9.日本感恩會

Japanese Tzu Chi volunteers recently held a blessing ceremony, in which those who suffered at the hands of the tsunami nearly a year ago, were invited to attend. Participants thanked Tzu Chi for its help, and many promised to help out at Tzu Chi events in the future.

日本東京慈濟人舉辦祈福感恩會，志工特地邀請，許多去年遭受東北地震的災民前來參加，這些民眾除了感恩慈濟人，不分國界、宗教的幫助外，更發願也要加入慈濟助人的行列。

10.新方法捐愛心

Convenience stores in Taiwan have long worked with charity organizations, by keeping donation boxes on the shop counter. Now, a new fundraising campaign for children in need has come into being. Next time when you visit a convenience store, you can ask the sales attendant to take the change from your purchase and donate it to your preferred organization. The amount of your contribution will be stated on your receipt.

在台灣，超商與社福團體長期合作，在櫃檯設立捐款箱，現在為了幫助貧困兒童，有新的募款活動，下次當您去超商買東西，可以請服務人員，將零錢變成捐款，捐給你所選擇的慈善機構，收據上也將會標示明示。

11.電子讀書會
Tzu Chi”s study groups across Taiwan have slowly evolved from reading books to reading e-books, as a way to save trees. Members use Tzu Chi”s own e-reader to peruse books, make notes, and highlight and bookmark important sections. Many new users are surprised to find that the electronic gadget also comes with a unique feature that makes it possible to multitask while reading. Let”s find out more.

台灣的慈濟讀書會，為了積極推動環保無紙化，從讀書演變成讀電子書，使用慈濟電子書，不但能作筆記，還能記重點、加書籤，很多使用者很開心的發現，電子書有一項功能，讓您可以一邊做事，一邊讀書，一起來看看。

Finally today, Tzu Chi volunteers in the Philippines are also working to minimize the impact on the planet, by giving environmental talks at a local high school. They explained to the teachers and students the importance of recycling plastic bottles, that could be used to make clothes and blankets. We”ll leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.

最後，菲律賓慈濟志工，前往基里諾高中宣導環保，要降低地球的傷害，全校師生透過志工的解說，才知道寶特瓶能製成毛毯的妙用，一起來看看，感恩收看，再會。
