1. 南投災情綜合 & 台中地震災情 Quake rattles Central Taiwan

We kick off today`s program in Taiwan, at 10:03 in the morning of Wednesday, March 27th, an earthquake of 6.1 magnitude struck Nantou(南投) County`s Renai(仁愛) Township, and the tremor was felt by many cities and townships around the island. To date, the death of a 72-year-old woman has been confirmed in Nantou, who was killed by a collapsed wall close to home. Some 80 injuries have also been reported and several buildings island-wide were damaged.

3月27號早上大約十點多，台灣中部發生強烈地震，台中市有五級的震度，而南投仁愛鄉發生規模6.1的強震，而全台各地都感受到這個地震，南投有一位七十二歲的婦人被倒塌的圍牆壓死，約80多人受傷，有許多建築物毀損情形也不少。


2. 希望學校抗震 Quake shakes hearts

The sudden tremor which shook Central Taiwan on the morning of March 27th, rattled the hearts of students and teachers in schools around the island. Security cameras captured teachers of Heping(和平) Elementary School, leading their students to seek cover on their sports field, while the school reconstructed by Tzu Chi`s Project Hope in the aftermath of the 9/21 Earthquake - the Taiping(太平) Junior High School, withstood the quake with the structure remaining undamaged.

在中台灣，3月27號早上的地震來的太突然，嚇壞了這裡的學生和老師，台中市和平國小的監視器拍下地震瞬間，老師帶著學生先跑到空曠的操場避難，而九二一大地震時，由慈濟希望工程協助重建的太平國中都很平安，而建築主體結構沒有受損。


3. 菲火災發放併 Fires in two cities

Also on disasters but moving to the Philippines, two fires broke out in the cities of Manila and Ma-la-bon, leaving some 300 households without roofs over their heads. After a quick disaster assessment, Tzu Chi volunteers quickly arrived to hand out daily necessities, bringing both aid supplies and emotional support to the victims.

也是災情的報導，但在菲律賓馬尼拉市和馬拉本市接連都發生大火，造成近三百戶家庭無家可歸，慈濟志工在勘災後為他們送來生活用品，希望安撫他們的身心靈。


4. 蘇慈濟園區啟用 & 蘇啟用反應 An affair to remember

In Jiangsu(江蘇) Province, China, the Tzu Chi Suzhou Health Promotion Center, has been on a trial run beginning September of last year. Since then, the medical institute, aimed at raising awareness on the importance of health prevention, has won the support of many local residents and government officials. In conjunction with the Tzu Chi Suzhou Grounds, which is the first Tzu Chi chapter grounds to be established in the nation, the two held a grand opening ceremony on March 27th.

在中國的江蘇慈濟健康促進中心，其實從去年九月就開始試營運了，也藉此提升民眾健康預防的重要性，此舉也受到官員高度的認同，健康中心也與蘇州慈濟志業園區一起，同時也在3月27日舉辦啟用典禮。


5. 蘇州園區特色 Features of Suzhou Tzu Chi Grounds

Following the opening ceremony on March 27th, the Suzhou(蘇州) Tzu Chi Grounds and Health Promotion Center has officially opened to the public. In our report on Suzhou(蘇州) yesterday, we learned of Tzu Chi`s 20 years of charity work in the country. In today`s report, we go back 900 years ago, where during the Song(宋) Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan, (范仲淹)a renowned politician and literary figure, set up a charitable service here to serve the poor and needy.

3月27號在蘇州慈濟志業園區以及健康促進中心正式啟用，二十多年前，慈濟開始在大陸幫助有需要的民眾，而在900年前，中國北宋時期，范仲淹就創辦義莊義學，幫助窮困的人民。


6.貴州助學訪老 Visiting a nursing home

Staying in China, Guangdong(廣東) Tzu Chi volunteers and their scholarship recipients recently visited a local nursing home in Luodian(羅甸) County, Guizhou(貴州) Province. During the event, volunteers not only prepared sing-along songs, but also danced the day away with the senior residents.

中國廣東慈濟志工和助學生前往貴州羅甸的一間敬老院關懷長輩，活動上志工準備歌曲合唱也與老人們 一起共舞。


7. 新澤西制服發放 Handing out uniforms to students

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in the United States last October, Tzu Chi volunteers carried out a series of immediate and mid-to-long term relief work to help the disaster victims. In Atlantic City, New Jersey, many children from the Texas Avenue School, have lost their school uniforms after the flooding, and could not afford to purchase new ones. Upon learning of the situation, Tzu Chi volunteers soon arrived to hand out new uniforms to these youngsters.

在去年的桑迪風災後，慈濟志工持續關懷災民，位在新澤西的大西洋城，德克薩斯街小學的學生，因為家裡淹水，制服沒了而且無法負擔添購的費用，當慈濟志工得知這樣的狀況便送了新制服給學生。


8. 父母恩倒數準備 The crew behind the musical

Back to Taiwan, as the musical adaptation of the Sutra of Profound Gratitude to Parents, is set to happen this weekend in Hualien, a crew of volunteers and staff members are working tirelessly to ensure the smooth running of the event. Although these behind-the-scenes volunteers may not get the glory of those on-stage, but they are none-the-less just as important.

在台灣，父母恩重難報經演繹這週末要在花蓮上演，一群志工與工作人員加緊趕工為了演出順利，雖然他們都是幕後人員，可是都是不可缺的角色。


9. 慈青關懷 Tzu Chings giving to the needy

While students in Tzu Chi`s Education Mission in Hualien are practicing for their musical, Tzu Chings from the Yuan Ze(元智) University in Taoyuan(桃園), invited students to join them on a trip to a special home. And their counterparts from the National Penghu(澎湖) University of Science and Technology, visited their local nursing home to care for the senior residents there.

花蓮教育志業的學生，在努力練習手語的同時，桃園元智大學的慈青邀請學生到教養院做關懷，而在澎湖科技大學，慈青則前往老人院探訪居住在這裡的長者。
