封面人物 蔡恩雨 音樂主播台 流行天團聯手古典巨星 ～～從BLACKPINK聽見帕格尼尼和李斯特～～ 流行樂壇每隔一陣子，就會出現致敬/引用古典音樂的例子，最近輪到了韓國女子天團BLACKPINK！今年推出的新專輯單曲〈Shut Down〉，強烈的節奏伴隨著小提琴高亢堅定的旋律，貫穿整首歌曲，非常洗腦之餘，你是不是也覺得似曾相識？配得上女子天團BLACKPINK的，當然也不是省油的燈，歌曲〈Shut Down〉的主旋律正是取材自古典名曲--帕格尼尼的第二號小提琴協奏曲--第三樂章！ 東洋動漫館 〈Daylight〉 ～～電視動畫《平凡職業造就世界最強》主題曲～～ 本次介紹的歌曲《Daylight》是電視動畫《平凡職業造就世界最強》第二季的的片頭主題曲。如果你也聽過本作第一季的主題曲《Flare》，不難發現這兩曲都是快歌（這在魔幻類的日本動漫歌曲相當常見），而且都是英文歌曲。然而筆者挑選《Daylight》作為本期的介紹曲目，除了它是今年才推出的新曲這個原因外，還有另一個理由，就是兩首歌的曲調相較起來，《Daylight》更富於旋律性得多。用容易明白的話說，一般強調快歌屬性的歌曲，有的旋律可能會更接近嘻哈歌曲般的唸誦性質，不然就是旋律性並不夠優美，沒有歌調的性質，並不是說寫歌的人比較不會寫旋律，而是因為這樣的歌曲強調的是它較節奏面向的特質，像《Flare》就是個很好的例子。而也有些快歌，聽起來會比較像抒情歌曲的加快版本，像《Daylight》就是。也就是說，如果將《Daylight》的旋律改編成較慢板的抒情曲，會有還不錯的效果，但相同的手法如果用在《Flare》身上，會比較彆扭，效果大概沒那麼好。 專題報導 作曲不用等靈感 ～～作曲手法解析 Part.1～～ 你還在坐等靈光乍現、天降靈感嗎？ 快試試這次馨嬅老師所提供的方法，保證文思泉湧，音樂繆思馬上就來找你囉！ ◎流行鋼琴雙月刊雜誌 ◎一網打盡港台日韓最in的哈燒金曲 ◎獨家推出忠於原味的鋼琴獨奏＋伴奏完整套譜 ◎揭露鍵盤編曲必殺技 ◎橫跨古典與流行，揉合東西方音樂元素

“A sweet, heart-squeezing story!” ― Jaleigh Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of The Mark of the DragonflyWhen seventh grade enemies research a missing set of jewels for a class project, they realize that the answers to the unsolved case might be much closer to home than they thought in this fun-filled mystery “as satisfying as hot soup on a cold day” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).If you told Sloane Osburn and Amelia Miller-Poe that they’d be hiding in their town cemetery from an evil mastermind, they would have been hard-pressed to believe you. If you also told them that person was intent on beating them to a cache of long-lost jewels using nothing more than a slingshot and wicked aim, they’d have been sure you got your facts wrong. Finally, if you told them they’d be doing all of this as friends…well, they would have been sure you needed medical attention.Whether through serendipity (really, really good luck) or zemblanity (really, really bad luck), someone tricked their

The first exhaustive English-language history and analysis of the Chinese opera genre, Kunqu. In Kunqu: A Classical Opera of Twenty-First-Century China, Joseph S. C. Lam offers a holistic and interdisciplinary view of Kunqu, a 600-year-old genre of Chinese opera that has been fashionably performed inside and outside of China.

我在1942 年出生於台灣台南縣新營鎮。沒上過所謂的幼稚園，我的小學、初中、高中在新營鎮及台南市兩地方度過。大學在台灣大學醫學院醫科就讀，畢業後的成長、進修及服務地方擴及太平洋東、西兩岸的台灣、美國、加拿大三個地方。我自己定位為醫學教育家(medical educator)，與文學、歷史的愛好者，及政治、社會的關心者。做為知識份子的要素，就是講真話，明是非。我終身奉為處世的準則，就是哈佛大學早期的校訓名言「VERITAS（拉丁文）」。我整理及寫作這本我的生命歷程，費時約達七年(2013-2019)之久，這期間剛讀到「黃伯超先生傳」（前衛出版社，2012.05）及「李遠哲傳」（圓神出版社，2016.11），前者（1926出生）是我敬仰的老師、台大醫學院院長、著名醫學教育家及生化學者，後者（1936出生）更是世界級自然科學研究的佼佼者，他在1986年榮獲諾貝爾化學獎，李教授更是一位令人尊敬的教育家，他每到一個大學，總是抱著「點亮每位學生」的心情，去從事研究與教學的工作。他們兩位寫作的章節及涵蓋的內容，影響本書頗大。我書中的「附錄」寫法的靈感及內容，很多是得自於黃伯超教授的大事年表。本書很多章節穿插描述在我生活年代，台灣的社會、政治變動及大學校園學生運動，李遠哲教授在他的傳記中，也帶進相當多的當年他在美國進修、服務期間的美國許多大學校園學運，特別是「反（越）戰」等議題，李遠哲教授的寫法也鼓舞了我，摻入這些社會與政治變遷、民主改革，及一些大家關心的學運等議題。特別是在李登輝總統主政期間，他完成了「寧靜革命」，將以前蔣介石黨國不分、威權獨裁的專制體制，轉變為民主法治的政府，功在台灣。這些活生生的史料與當年台灣社會、政治背景，豐富我這本平凡的生平記事。我這本生平記事主要是要獻給我太太簡靜香教授、家中孩子、後代家人、好朋友，及在我生命期間有緣認識相處的一些人參閱；另外一個大目的是，過去一些時候對於本人有不瞭解的少數人，做一個坦白誠實的解釋與告白。知識份子的責任就是求真理、辨是非，知無不言，縱使所言有令人不悅之處，也在所難免。撰寫自己生平回憶的目的無它，主要是謹供相關人士及有興趣者參考，並期待將它當作一本史料來看待就好。美國前總統雷根 (Ronald Reagan) 曾經說過一句充滿哲理的話：“I now begin the journey that will lead me in

This collection of essays critically evaluates the legal framework necessary for the use of autonomous ships in international waters. The work is divided into three parts:Part 1 evaluates how far national shipping regulation, and the public international law background that lies behind it, may need modification and updating to accommodate the use of autonomous ships on international voyages. Part 2 deals with private law and insurance issues such as collision and pollution liability, salvage, limitation of liability and allocation of risk between carrier and cargo interests. Part 3 analyses international convention regimes dealing with maritime safety and other matters, arguing for specific changes in the existing conventions such as SOLAS and MARPOL, which would provide the international framework that is necessary for putting autonomous ships into commercial use. The book also takes the view that amendment of international conventions is important in the case of liability issues, arg
