1.北慈46展

Tzu Chi”s 46th anniversary exhibition is currently taking place in Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital. This year”s theme, like last year, is ”repentance”. Volunteers seized the opportunity to raise awareness about conservation, and gave the public a few tips, on how to save water and electricity.

慈濟46周年慶靜態展，在台北慈濟醫院正式開展，今年的布展主題，延續去年大懺悔的主軸，除了介紹慈濟的各項志業，志工還特地在展場中，推廣環保理念，並教民眾如何省水省電。


2.人護陳宜君

Still in Taipei Tzu Chi General Hospital, next up, we meet nurse Chen Yijun, who not only loves her job, but treats it as a part of her life. She has been through leukemia, and says, her illness taught her, to better understand her patients” needs. Now fully recovered, during her time off, she still goes around the hospital wards, to encourage her patients.

鏡頭繼續看台灣，台北慈濟醫院護理師陳宜君，不只熱愛她的工作，更將工作當作生活的一部分，曾經罹患白血病的宜君，更懂得病人的需要，現在完全康復了，而在工作之餘，她也會到病房分享自己的故事，帶給大家無限的希望。


3.瑞芳長者往診

In northern Taiwan, members of Tzu Chi”s International Medical Association, or TIMA, regularly visit a nursing home, in Ruifang, to check on the residents. Most of the seniors suffered strokes, at some point in their lives, and have mobility problems. TIMA doctors and volunteers are teaching them how to rehabilitate themselves, so they may, one day, be able to walk again.

北區慈濟人醫會每個月定期，前往偏遠的瑞芳區的，老人長期照護中心舉行義診，長者多數是中風、行動不便，而醫療人員與志工也教導他們，如何照顧自己，能夠再次行走。


4.癌症幹細胞

Staying on the topic of medicine, we have news of a possible breakthrough in cancer research, as doctors at Taipei Veterans Hospital have discovered that the antioxidant ”resveratrol”, which is commonly found in grapes and nuts, could help control cancer stem cells.

繼續來看醫療議題，治療癌症技術有重大突破，台北榮總發現從葡萄、核果等食物中，萃取出來的物質「白藜蘆醇」，能有效抑制癌病幹細胞。


《 靜思語 》

If we pursue our profession with a sense of mission, we will find both joy and meaning in life.

用志願的精神從事專業工作，就會很愉快也很有價值。


5.升起天際線(1)

Elevators were widely introduced to the world, after the industrial revolution, in the 19th century. In Taiwan, the elevator, or lift, wasn”t seen until around 80 years ago. In the first of a new series, on the elevator, we take you to Tainan, to see one of the earliest models in Taiwan.

電梯，在19世紀工業革命後問世，在台灣卻直到約80年前才出現。新的專題中，升起天際線，帶您前往台南，看看台灣最早電梯。


6.百萬綠行動(三)

We”ll find out more about how elevators changed the way we live tomorrow. But back to today, and for our next report, we travel to Hualien, to meet organic farmer, Mr. Wu Shuiyun吳水雲. As well as using no chemical fertilizers or pesticides, Mr. Wu also avoids machinery. He says working by hand helps him keep his costs low, and yet, he still comes up with yields, that are 80 percent, or even on a par, with most commercial farms.

明天再繼續看，電梯如何改變人的生活型態。回到今天，接下來的報導，鏡頭來花蓮，帶您認識從事有機務農的吳水雲，他用完全無毒的方式來進行種植，也不用機械，他說用雙手種田降低成本，產量跟一般農場還差不了多少。


7.石牌珍愛地球

Sunday, April 22nd, was Earth Day. To mark the occasion in Taipei, 100 Tzu Chi volunteers from the Shipai area did their part, by spreading the message of conversation, in the city”s metro, markets and parks.

四月二十二日星期日是世界地球日，台北石牌區近百位慈濟志工，深入捷運站、市場、公園等，向民眾宣導珍愛地球宣言。


《 衲履足跡 》談愛

在人與人之間，一定要種好因、結好緣，否則僅有少數人發大心、立大願，欲行菩薩道，也難有力量做天下事，而之所以彼此立願，皆因不忍眾生受苦的愛。

We must form good affinities  with others, and plant good seeds : otherwise we will not be able to insire people to walk the bodhisattive path.

We will also lack the power to cange the world. But if we are unwilling to see suffering, we can all vow to make a difference.


8.360手工西裝

In today”s look at Taiwan”s fading trades, we meet master tailor, Mr. Xu Jindi, who still makes suits the same way as his grandfather did. Although his business has suffered, against competition from off-the-rack suits, Mr. Xu says, there is still a market for tailor-made quality.

台灣真情臉譜中，帶您認識西裝師傅許金地，他沿用祖父的手藝做西服，1980年代是台灣手工西裝的全盛時期，雖然手工西服的生意，比現成西服來的蕭條，不過許先生說，手工西服的好質感還是有市場。


9.補漆有愛

From handmade suits, to do-it-yourself car maintenance: When it comes to minor body work, dents, scratches and chips, car-wash owner Chen Hongsheng(陳汯聖), from Taichung in central Taiwan, has some tips, on how to touch up your car, in an easy way, which won”t cost you a fortune.

從手工西服到DIY車漆的修補技術，不管是起車表面的凹陷、刮痕或是掉漆，來自台中的洗車店老闆陳汯聖，要教您如何用小小的錢，修補汽車外觀上的小問題。
