畫面稍暗, 開始聲音尚清楚, 但後來, 聲音漸小, 且電扇聲(自然風?)愈來愈大

Picture was a little dark but the sound was clear at the beginning. Later, the sound faded and the noise of the fan (natural wind?) was louder.

Si apen Milimoang wants to talk about issues regarding women on the island. The person who wants to talk about the problems facing women on the island is the woman si apen Milimoang. (it is already red [meaning that they can start to record])

口述者入鏡話女人:

The speaker enters the frame and talks about women:

以前還我們繫女人

[譯:以前,我們女性,從小一直到現在, 家裡如果有了五個孩子全是女的,夫婦即孩子們的父母親仍不滿足(不是很快樂)]

In the past, us women, from when we were young up until now, if we had five children in the family and they were all female, the couple or the parents of the children would still be unsatisfied (not very happy).

動綴-去處格動綴-像那樣繫深山已經助

mimin a vazay no mehakay an,

全是繫工作屬格男的助

[譯:為什麼會這樣?因為以前, 他們對女生仍沒有什麼那個,老人對男生比較那個; 因為以前,我們島上的習俗是,男生才是他們真正的依靠,當時的想法是,因為男人要埋葬死人,要入深山裡工作(意指入叢林埋屍)]

Why is that? Because in the past, they were not that much like that to women, while older people were more that to men. Because in the past, the custom on the island was that men were the people they could count on, and the thinking at the time was, because men were the ones to bury the dead, they needed to go deep into the mountains to work. (meaning burying the bodies in the forest)

5. iká-doa na am,

[譯:第三個就是,男人要養一家人,耕作,捕魚,因此以前的人對男孩特別的重視]

The third is, men needed to raise their family, farm, catch fish, and therefore they used to put more emphasis on men.

[譯:現在有的, 以前哪有? 以前沒有米; 我們野銀村(窮困)與其它村子無法比較, 因為野銀村人無田地]

What we have now we didn’t have before. We did not have rice in the past; we at Jivalino (poor) cannot be compared with other villages because villagers in Jivalino don’t have fields.

ori ika-pe-péleh pa no kma sang a wakay,

那樣使得-疊-很少還屬格像那樣繫地瓜

[譯:即使有大平原,但以前, 老人家都比較懶惰,而且沒有鐵棒(耕作工具);以前食物匱乏, 沒有工具, 因此種的地瓜很少]

Even though we had large prairies, but in the past, the old people were lazy, and didn’t have iron rods (agricultural tools).There was very little food, and not tools, and therefore very few sweet potatoes were planted.

Every time we sat around eating, my mother would say this: “Hey, you, when you are sitting, have good posture.” “Oh, is that so,” I said. At the time I felt like I could accept that.

[譯:你是女生,坐的時候要兩腳併攏,你肚子要收起來像戴皮帶一樣,不可以吃太多,因為你是女孩,不能跟男生,或你弟弟他們一樣的吃相]

You are a female, so you must sit with your legs shut, your stomach tucked in like you have a belt on. You must not eat too much, because you are a female, and cannot be like a male, or eat as much as your little brothers.

15. ta o mehakay iya am,

因主格男性這助

That’s how it should be. In the future, can you do what men do? Will you bury the dead? Will you dig in the mountains to cultivate the land? If someone bullies you, can you outfight a man? Will you build boats? Will you build houses? Those are all jobs for men, so do not think yourself higher than your brothers.

[譯:那麼我該取什麼樣的食物呢?小小的,像是水份過多不太好的那種,才是我可以吃的食物。每當我們吃完飯的時候,我說:我吃飽了,謝謝爸爸,謝謝媽媽。實際上我根本吃不飽,所以我很瘦,好像只剩皮包骨一樣]

Then what food was I supposed to pick out? The smallest that had too much water and were not that tasty were the ones that I was allowed to eat. Every time we finished eating, I would say: I’m finished, thank you father, thank you mother. Actually I could not eat enough to be full, so I was very skinny, and looked like I only had skin over my bones.

I only had skin on my bones, because I could not eat enough, just like…. We didn’t have that many dishes, even when we had large (many) dishes. When they gave me a larger piece of crab, “Your meal, here, take it!” “Hey, why are you eating that one (the large one)? Why don’t you give it to your grandmother?

If I was given the larger shell, after I ate it, “Hey, how can you eat the large shell? How can you not give it away (to the older people)? Ah, you are so glutonous. Are you really that glutonous?” At the time I felt embarrassed.

My mother often told me, “Child, you must marry him, because if you marry him you will have enough to eat, unlike our family where we don’t have enough because we don’t have any land. Your father had many brothers, so the amount of land each person got was limited.

接下來由周定頌牧師講話, 及鏡頭掃攝屋內牆上的掛圖, 以下不記音

Next was pastor Ding-Song Zhou speaking, and the picture sweeps the different pictures on the wall. It was not recorded.

曾:manngo, ko nipanci a, ya manoyong ori?

周:ori o vazay da, he, icicirawat da no he tao nokakoa, he, mataid do karan ya, to

* 接下來的另一單元, 鏡頭仍掃攝屋內牆上的掛圖,

Next is another chapter, and the picture is still sweeping the pictures on the wall.

[1] Kanen so spa, 直譯是”吃人家嘴裡嚼碎過的食物”或”父母的孩子”, 吃人家嘴裡嚼碎過的食物的人是”孩子”,將食物嚼碎後再餵小孩的人是”父母”

Kanen so spa is defined as “eating someone’s chewed food” or “parent’s child”, the person eating someone’s chewed food is “a child”, and the person who chews the food to feed the children is the “parents.”

[2] Mo koimo 是當不直接叫人名字時的喊人叫法, 對小孩子或尚無孩子的人,都可以用此喊人,如同”喂”的意思,是比較不尊重他人的叫法。

Mo koimo is used when you don’t want to call a name directly, reserved for young children or people without children, and is equivalent to “hey”. It is a more impolite term of address.

[3] 指用竹叉刺取大的地瓜或芋頭。

Picking up a big yam or taro with a bamboo fork.

[4] “Na kong, ma kong” 中的na是ina的簡寫, ma是ama的簡寫。

The na and ma in “Na kong, ma kong” are shortened forms of ina and ama respectively.

[5] Pinma tao 是pinanoma a tao的簡寫, 直譯為“先走的人,先死的人”的意思, 通常是指”已故的,自己的父親或母親”

Pinma tao is the short form of pinanoma a tao, and means “the person who left first, who died first”, and often indicates “deceased, own father or mother.”

[6] Katenngan a tao是知名的人,有名望的人。

Katenngan a tao is a well known person, a person who has made a name for himself.

[7] Ni kehakay, ni kavakes,除了作一般的男性或女性朋友外, 也可以作”親家”的意。

Ni kehakay, ni kavakes, other than meaning male or female friend, can mean “parents-in-law.”

[8] 曾喜悅婚後尚未生子前的名字。

Xi-Yue Zeng’s name before having children.

[9] 野銀村及其村子附近很缺水, 早期他們是到較遠的深山裡用細管子引水到村莊外圍供村人使用,因此村人常常為了用水而互相推擠。

Jivalino and the other villages often had water shortages. In the earliest days they would go into the deepest mountains and use narrow pipes to draw the water to the outskirts of the town for the villagers to use, and so villagers often pushed each other around to get water.

[10] Mapaned so tokon 直譯為”使山下沉”, 比喻開闢新田之意, 即剷掉山土使成為平地,做成芋田。

Mapaned so tokon means “allowing the mountains to sag”, indicating the opening of new fields and carving away the mountain so that it was flat for taro fields.

[11] Odong是一種植物, 白色的根莖可以吃;另一個同音異義的odong是麵粉。

Odong is a plant with a white stem that is edible. Another word with the same pronunciation but a different meaning with odong is flour.

[12] cilad就是為了使鮮魚變成乾魚, 將魚剖開後,在魚肉內面及背面切割數刀並往外翻,而切割外翻的部份就叫cilad.
