Too many unhappy endings

1.亞利桑那志工獎

We start today”s show in the United States, where Tzu Chi”s very own Dr. Ruth Tam Lim, who is the TIMA coordinator in Phoenix, Arizona, was recently given the title of ”Woman of the Year”, by the City of Mesa, which is a suburb of Phoenix. Let”s find out more about the story of this remarkable woman.

首先來到美國 林陳薇薇醫師，是亞利桑那州鳳凰城，人醫會醫師，林醫師最近獲頒美沙市 年度市民獎，讓我們一起來認識這位傑出的女性。

2.美醫療新家
Staying in the United States, Tzu Chi volunteers in the city of Fresno, celebrated the establishment of the first Tzu Chi medical center in central California. The new location is the 5th Tzu Chi medical center in the United States. For over 11 years, Fresno volunteers have been organizing free mobile clinics, but now, with a permanent location, they hope to provide better services to those in need.

也是在美國，佛瑞斯諾慈濟志工慶祝中加州，第一個醫療定點正式啟用，這是慈濟在美國第五個醫療定點，慈濟志工十一年來，巡迴各地，為他們提供義診服務，現在有了固定的地點，希望為需要的人，提共更好的醫療服務。

《 靜思語 》
Only by treating others with kindness can one lead a happy and peaceful life.

對人和睦才能歡喜、自在地過日子。

3.360助產士(一)

Only a generation ago in Taiwan, midwives played a vital role in areas that lacked access to proper healthcare. Riding out on their bicycles, they helped expectant mothers give birth, at any time, day or night. In today”s double feature on Taiwan”s sunset trades, we look back at the heyday of midwifery, on the island.

台灣產婆，在過去設備不足的窮鄉僻壤，扮演非常重要的角色，他們騎著腳踏車，不分晝夜到家接生，今天台灣真情臉譜帶您一塊，回顧台灣沒落的行業-助產士。

4.360助產士(二)

One woman who is a living history of midwifery in Taiwan is 92-year-old Li Quan, who spent over half a century working as a midwife. She says she assisted nearly 17,000 births. After retiring, she became a Tzu Chi volunteer, and still goes wherever and whenever she is needed.

九十二歲的李勸是台灣高齡的產婆，超過半世紀的助產士生涯，曾經親手迎接了一萬七千多個新生命，退休之後他投入慈濟當志工，那裡需要，就往哪裡去，為人服務。

《 衲履足跡 》談法入心 On Taking Dharma to Heart

The Master said we should remember her daily teachings, and keep the dharma close to our hearts.

Tzu Chi is widely accepted everywhere, because every volunteer knows how to conduct themselves properly and follow Tzu Chi”s precepts.

要將平日所聽聞之法，點點滴滴存入心中，莫使漏失；慈濟形象能在國際間廣受讚歎，即因人人謹記法理而能以「愛」自我管理、以「戒」自我約束。

5.尊重生命總論

Taiwan has the third highest rate of suicides in Asia. 3-4,000 people die by taking their own lives every year. Suicide is never a solution to life”s problems, as the loved ones left behind are invariably scarred for life.

台灣是全亞洲，自殺率排行第三的國家，每年都有三千到四千人自殺，但是自殺可不是解決任何問題的方法，更何況留下來是給親人，一輩子無法抹滅的痛。

6.尊重生命陳真誼
Staying on the subject of suicide, we meet vegetarian store owner Chen Zhenyi from Taichung. Having been through two failed marriages, the former nightclub worker tried to commit suicide, on two occasions. It was her mother who finally made her realize how precious life is. Let”s find out how.

接下來的報導，我們來認識在台中市經營素食小吃店的陳真誼，過去兩段失敗的婚姻，曾經是個酒店小姐，生活的辛苦，讓她兩度想要輕生，是媽媽讓她了解生命的寶貴，一起來聽聽她的故事。

7.百變禽流感(一)

In March, a series of outbreaks, of the previously unseen H5N2 avian flu virus, erupted in chicken farms in Taiwan. Currently, the authorities are tracking over 100 farms to ensure the virus does not spread. Perhaps you may be wondering, what all the fuss is about, and why every new outbreak of bird flu, has the government, and disease control experts, worried. Starting from today, we will explore these questions, and more, in a new series of reports on ”The many faces of Avian Influenza.”

三月份台灣一連爆發，H5N2禽流感疫情，一路從彰化、南投蔓延到台南，目前政府仔細觀察與追蹤，全台上百家養雞場，避免高病原性病毒再擴大，或許我們的觀眾會很好奇，為何每當傳出禽流感疫情，都讓政府防疫專家戒慎以對，我們將在百變禽流感系列的專題中，從不同面向帶您深入了解禽流感。

8.張鈺鳳環保
We”ll try to catch up with avian flu tomorrow. But back to today, and 71-year-old Ms. Zhang Yufeng, from Changhua, Taiwan, who has been a dedicated environmental volunteer for over a decade. Although her children would like her to spend more time at home, she says she”s committed to the cause.

明天還會帶大家看相關禽流感的報導，接著，在台灣彰化，七十一歲的張鈺鳳，已經做環保十多年了，雖然子女希望她能在家享清福，阿嬤則選擇做志工。

Tzu Chi volunteers in the Guandu area of Taipei, have been promoting Jing Si aphorisms, around their community, and encouraging residents to attend local events, such as tea ceremonies and book clubs. We”ll leave you with these images. Thank you for watching Da Ai Headlines. Goodbye.
