TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Acclaimed(受人赞扬的)Taiwanese singer A-mei awarded(授与)
Tuesday ten indigenous(原民的) students with scholarships(奖学金) to cover
tuition fees(学费) for the upcoming(即将到来的) school year and further(进一步地)
committed(承诺) at providing(提供) for talented(有才能的) indigenous
students who are otherwise deprived(贫困的;被剥夺的) due to poverty(贫穷).
In addition, the Mandopop(华语流行乐) star — a colloquial(口语的) abbreviation
(缩写) for artists(艺术工作者) singing “Mandarin(华语的) popular music” —
donated(捐赠) NT$500,000 to Christian(基督徒的) relief(救济) organization(组织)
World Vision Taiwan, for a new scholarship fund(基金), titled(命名) the
Dream Fulfillment Scholarship Project(圆梦奖学金计画).
The scholarship winners were selected(挑选) from among 40,000 of World Vision's
sponsored(赞助的) children in Taiwan based on their discovered talents or
exceptional(卓越的) academic(学术) performance(表现).
“Everyone has a dream,” said A-mei during the inaugural(开始的;就任的)
press conference(记者会).
“Many children have talents that are recognized(被赏识) by their teachers,
or they have exceptional grades. Unfortunately(不幸地), those talents are
so often wasted(浪费) simply(只是) because the children lack(缺乏) the
resources(资源) to keep on nurturing(滋养;使学习更多) them,” she added(补充说明).
Now, with the help of the Dream Fulfillment Scholarship Project, these
children are awarded a chance(机会) to become specialized(专业的) in their
talents and to have their dreams come true(实现), she pointed out(指出).
A-mei is also known as(以..而知名) Chang Hui-mei and her aboriginal(原住民的)
name Gulilai Amit (A-mit). Born into the Puyuma tribe(部落) and a family with
nine siblings(兄弟姊妹) in a remote(偏远的) village in Taiwan, she
encountered(遇见;邂逅) many of the same challenges(挑战) that the awardees
(受奖者) face(面对;遇到) every day.
Her hard work and magnetic(有磁性的;有吸引力的) personality(特质) allowed(允许)
her to rise(出人头地) above these humble(卑微的) beginnings and to the top of
the Mandopop charts in 1996. For the next ten years it has been a full(完整的)
schedule of star-studded(充满巨星风采的) concerts and TV appearances(出现)
making her the undisputed(无庸置疑的) queen of Taiwan's music scene.
Despite(尽管) this celebrity(名人) status(社会地位), A-mei has never been
ashamed of(以...为耻) her roots(根本) or her upbringing(教养), appearing(出现)
in numerous(无数的) TV programs(节目) showing her return to her native(原住民的)
village and the life of Taiwan's aboriginal people. “Whenever I
participate in(参加) charity events(慈善活动), I always wonder(想...) if(是否)
there is a most direct(直接的) and targeted(指标的) way of helping indigenous
children. This idea and dream had already originated(起源) several years ago,”
she remarked(评论;表示). “I will begin to do everything within my power,”
A-mei went on(继续说道). “We will start slow, and perhaps in the future we can
do something that is more, and greater — this will be a continuous(连续的)
process(过程).”
Ever since(自此之後) she came into contact(和...有接触) with World Vision
after the 9/21 earthquake in 1999, A-mei has been inspired(受启发) by the love
and passion she sees within the organization. She has since participated in
various(很多的) activities(活动) sponsored by World Vision, such as becoming
the spokesperson(发言人;代言人) of the 16th 30-Hour Famine(饥饿)_ and making
a trip to visit refugees(难民) living in the dangerous(危险的) conditions(条件)
of Sudan.

受人赞扬的台湾歌手阿妹星期二时给予十位原住民学童奖学金,让他们能够支付下学
年的学费,她并进一步承诺会为这些有能力但却因贫穷而贫乏的学童提供奖学金。此外,
这位华语巨星-一种对於演唱华语流行音乐的艺术工作者的口语简称(指Mandopop)-为了
成立一个新的奖学金基金[圆梦奖学金计画]捐赠了五十万元给基督救济组织-台湾区世
界展望会。这些受奖的学生因为被发现的才能或卓越的学术表现,而被
从四万名受世界展望会的台湾孩童中选出来。
在计画成立记者会上,阿妹说:[每个人都有一个梦想。]
她补充说明说: [很多孩子有着被老师赏识的才能,或是有卓越的成绩。 但不幸地, 这些
才能却只是因为他们缺乏资源来学习更多东西而被浪费掉了。]
她指出: [现在,有了圆梦奖学金计画的帮助,这些孩童有机会可以在他们有天份的领域
变的更专业,并且使他们的梦想实现。]
阿妹也以张惠妹或是她原住民的名字 古历来˙阿密特而闻名,生在台湾偏远村庄的普攸玛
部落里,一个有着九个兄弟姊妹的家庭中,她也遇到很多同样这些受奖学童每天会遇到的
难题挑战.
她的努力和有吸引力的特质使她从卑微的出身中出人头地,并成为1996年华语界的闪亮巨
星。在接下来的十年中 无数场展现她巨星风采的演唱会还有在电视节目上的出现使她
成为台湾音乐界中无庸置疑的天后
出现在拍摄阿妹回到原民部落回归原民生活的各大节目中,尽管阿妹身为名人,却从来都
不以她的根本和教养(育)为耻。她说: [每当我参加慈善活动时,我总是在想,是不是有
更直接且指标性可以用来帮助原民孩童的方法. 这个想法和梦想好几年前就已经在构想了.]
阿妹继续说到: [我们会慢慢的开始做,也许在将来我们可以做更多也更棒的事。这是一
个长时间的累积过程.]
阿妹在1999年的921大地震受到她在组织内所见的爱与热情启发後,她就开始和世界展望
会有所接触。从那之後,阿妹就一直参加很多世界展望会赞助的活动,像是成为第十六届
饥饿三十的代言人,并前往探访住在苏丹危险恶劣环境的难民们。
