SUN PROTECTION 啟動全年日晒防護 English by Pia Norris | Translated by Cora Wang

陽光帶來的紫外線是造成肌膚老化的主因，它們會破壞 肌膚彈性與膠原蛋白——維繫肌膚青春的重要成分。此 外，紫外線還會導致晒傷、黑斑、膚色色調不均，甚至 是皮膚癌等問題。數據顯示，百分之九十的肌膚老化現 象都是因為日常曝晒，而其中又有百分之九十的皮膚癌， 諸如黑色素瘤等肌膚疾病，皆起因於此。 雖然中波紫外線（UVB，導致皮膚晒傷的光線）在 夏季最為強烈，但是長波紫外線（UVA，導致皺紋、晒 黑的光線）則是全年未曾消失。因此，無分任何季節或 天候，全年做好防晒就更為關鍵，除了了解防晒的必要 性，知道如何在琳琅滿目的防晒商品中，挑選正確的品 項也極其重要。

T
he sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays may be the single biggest reason for premature aging. They damage the skin by destroying its collagen and elastin, which are needed to maintain a youthful complexion. They can also cause sunburn, dark spots, uneven skin tone, and skin cancer. In fact, 90 percent of the signs of aging are caused by daily sun exposure. About 90 percent of all skin cancers, including melanoma, are directly related to exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. While UVB rays (which cause sunburn) are strongest in summer, UVA rays (which cause wrinkles)

are constant throughout the year, so it is critical to protect your skin every day, year-round, regardless of season and weather. Aside from applying sunscreen, it is also essential to know how to choose the right one, which can be a challenge, given all the different options on the market.
選擇天然防晒 防晒產品主要分作兩種類型：化學性與物理性防晒。物 理性防晒即人們所熟知的「 天然 」或「 礦物型 」防晒。當 涉及使用安全性時，兩者間的關鍵差異如下： 所 謂 化 學 性 防 晒，其成分 為 有機 化合 物。近 來， 有些化學 性防晒產品中的常用成分，受到更加嚴格的 審查，例如，具有干擾 荷 爾 蒙分泌 潛 在 風 險 的氧 苯 酮
CHOOSE A NATURAL SUNSCREEN There are two kinds of sunscreens: chemical and physical (also known as “natural” or mineral sunscreens). There are some key differences between them, especially when it comes to safety. Chemical sunscreens are made of synthetic ingredients. Lately, some of the ingredients in chemical sunscreens have come under increased scrutiny. For example, oxybenzone has been shown to potentially disrupt hormones, and some of the other active ingredients have also been linked to possible hormone disruption and cancer. Synthetic sunscreens are also more likely to irritate your skin. Natural, mineral-based sunscreens, on the other hand, are non-toxic. They contain 100 percent active minerals, such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, making them safer and less likely to cause skin irritation than chemical sunscreens. Natural sunscreens also work differently than chemical sunscreens. They sit on top of the skin and create a barrier that reflects the UV rays away from the skin. Chemical sunscreens, on the other hand, don't block the UV rays. They absorb them, convert them
（Oxybenzone），還有其他化學有效成分也有此負面作 用，並具有致癌風險。此類防晒品也對肌膚較具刺激性。 天 然 礦 物 型 防 晒， 則 是 以 無 毒 的 礦 物 成 分 為 基 底， 含有 百分之百 有 效 礦 物 成 分， 像 是 氧化 鋅（Zinc oxide）以及二氧化鈦（Titanium dioxide）。這些成分 較為安定，提高產品安全性，相較於化學性防晒，也較 不會有刺激肌膚問題。該類防晒與化學性防晒的作用方 式不同，是透過附著在肌膚表層來打造屏障，使紫外線 遠離肌膚。 而化學性防晒，則不阻隔紫外線，它是以吸收的方 式，將之轉換成熱量後釋放出體外。不過，當這種化學 性防晒品吸收紫外線時，也會從肌膚為人體吸收進入血 液，被視作日常中的環境荷爾蒙，干擾人體激素正常分 泌，高齡女性族群更為關注此問題。 其他關於天然礦物型與化學性防晒的相異之處，還 包含其質地與表層效果。化學性防晒通常較為滑順，質 地輕盈，不易在肌膚上留有明顯痕跡；而天然礦物型防 晒，較難以融進肌膚，塗抹後較易留有白色膏狀感，出 現泛白問題。不過現在有許多品牌研發出的新產品，質 地滑順，有些還帶有光澤感，或可校正肌膚色調。除此 之外，天然礦物型防晒在塗抹之際，可即刻產生防護效 果，持效性勝於化學性防晒，反之，化學性防晒在塗抹 後，需等待 15~20 分鐘讓肌膚吸收才能產生防護力。

RETURNING TO TRADITION A Family’s Natural Farm in Arizona 生生流轉 承天地之澤 一場農場裡的生命課 English by Angela Feng | Chinese by Cora Wang Photography by Jennifer Schneider
Molovinsky’s children look after every single creature on the farm. Even though there are hundreds of animals, each life is so precious that they try their best to keep every one of them healthy and happy.

N
owadays, people are a lot more conscious of what they are putting into their bodies. All-natural foods have rapidly grown in popularity, with many people seeking out organic produce and pasture-raised eggs or meat. However, most of us are unaware of what makes a product organic and the processes that go into all-natural farming. Diana Molovinsky, owner of Molovin Farm, has been practicing sustainable agriculture for a decade. Over years of trial and error, she has developed a sense of harmony with nature. Despite all of her experience and success, she is still constantly learning, adjusting, and finding new ways to balance her relationship with the land she farms.
「 今年，終於迎來我們農場的第一個秋天。」位於亞利桑 那州南錢德勒城內的全天然農場「Molovin Farm」的主 人Diana Molovinsky興奮地表示，「 我們會舉辦一場盛 大的秋日宴！」那些巨大而鮮豔多彩的南瓜，肥美豐碩 的瓜果，成群的雞與可愛的山羊，一群人踏在青青草原 上歡慶的景象，這幅可以想見的秋日美景，不再是幻想 情節。十年來，Molovinsky堅持不使用化肥與任何化學 藥劑，以有機、純天然的永續農耕方式經營農場，點滴 而漫長的積累，終於迎來首次的「 秋收 」時節。 一份使命 Molovinsky並非出身於農家，但是兒時家中的果園，在 母親悉心照料下結實累累的場景，至今仍是她心頭的美 好回憶。年幼的她也不知那隨手摘下的番茄、櫻桃為何 能夠如此生長，只覺得神奇，或許是那小小果園施下的
PLANTING THE FIRST SEEDS Unlike most farmers, Molovinsky wasn’t born into farming. Her mother had a passion for planting, and would grow flowers and cherry tomatoes in their garden. However, Molovinsky admitted with a chuckle, “I didn’t inherit my mother’s green thumb.” Her first real experience with farming came when she met her husband, Oren, who had grown up on a farm in Israel. His sister’s husband ran a farmers market in the Washington, D.C., area. “I loved the fresh produce. I loved that you could just go to one place and buy stuff from all the local farms,” she said. She was inspired and started to buy produce from local farmers and sell
魔法，讓她一步步地踏上創建自己農場的冒險之旅。 回想起創辦 Molovin Farm 的緣由，Molovinsky 感慨表示：「 我感覺到，我們離天然食材好遠，那些曾經 我們深深仰賴的一切。」如今我們餐盤上的食物，有多 少是真正的天然食材呢？在美國，民生日常所能購得的 食材，大多為企業農業掌控，一部 2008 年的紀錄片《美 味代價》（Food, Inc.）揭示了人們未曾注意的食品業真 相。生產者為了供應大量的市場需求以及壓低成本，因 此那些生產自惡劣環境下的農產品，最終都進了消費者 的肚子裡。由於關注此議題，Molovinsky 認為打造一座 能生產健康農作的農場，是她無須猶疑的使命。 2011 年，Molovinsky 一家從華盛頓特區搬回她的家 鄉——亞利桑那州，緊接著命運般地邂逅了一片 3.5 英畝 │37
NATURE’S GIFTS Fruit Picking in Hamilton Township, NJ 金風捎稼香 玉露沾鮮果 By Cora Wang
A
utumn’s gentle breeze carries the soft fragrance of Korean pears, golden pears, apples, and grapes over the hundreds of acres of farmland that is Evergreen Farm in Hamilton Township, New Jersey. Many of the farm’s loyal customers return each year to take in the beautiful scenery and go fruit picking. Some even travel hundreds of miles to visit. After the owner of Evergreen Farm, Mr. Chong Il Kim, immigrated to the United States in 1984, he felt nostalgic for Korean Singo pears with their delicious honey-like flavor. He started to plant the pears in the United States in 1985. Planting Koren species proved difficult. Because of the cold weather, the trees couldn’t survive. So the couple moved further south and started again. The lifespan of a fruit tree is 30 years, and it takes 6 years for a tree to produce fruit for harvest. When the year of their first harvest arrived, the orchard suffered from fire blight, causing huge losses. They had to build up their farm again. 42│
當金風吹拂，百畝農地已果香四溢，桃子、新高梨、 紅露蘋果、韓國紫葡萄等纍纍鮮果壓滿枝頭。這是新 澤西漢彌爾頓鎮上常青農場的年年盛景，許多老主顧 們驅車數百英里，只為再次造訪此地。 常青農場老闆金鐘一先生誠懇地說：「 吃到顧客 嘴裡的桃子都不簡單，每一顆都要經過農夫四次觸 摸，測量生熟後才決定採摘。水果、蔬菜絕對保證新 鮮和天然，採下後只需用清水洗去上面的灰塵就可食 用了。」他對自家農產品充滿信心，顧客亦領受這份 真心，讓農場每一年的採收季人潮絡繹不絕。 金鐘一自幼跟隨父親學習種植技術，1984年從 韓國移居美國，因懷念故鄉擁有蜜香的新高梨，下定 決心親自栽培，1985年創建了常青農場。然而，果 樹培育之路漫長，最初因為所在之處天氣過於寒冷而 失敗，因而遷移至較溫暖的南方。果樹雖有 30 年的 壽命，但須培植 6 年後才能收成，某次屆逢收成之 年，果實已長得豐美，整個果園卻又遭病蟲害，損失 巨大，金鐘一只得再次重來。 好事多磨，金鐘一花費 12 年的心血，讓韓國新 高梨終於在新澤西的常青農場開花結果。他說：「 雖 然頭兩次都失敗了，第三次從失敗中總結經驗，終於

The couple’s 12 years of labor came to fruition when they finally harvested the plump and flavorful Singo pears at Evergreen Farm. “Although we failed two times, we encapsulated these experiences in our third try and we nailed it. Our farm is the first and the only one [in the United Sates] that has grown Singo pears successfully,” he said. Korean Singo pears are the signature crop at Evergreen Farm. They are known as the sweetest pear in the world. When they are ripe, the skins turn a light yellow, and the f lesh is white and translucent. The fruit is tasty and juicy. Hong Lo, a Korean variety of apple, is ripe for harvest in late August, while Fuji apples become available in late October. The apples grown at Evergreen Farm are crisp and sweet. After they’ve been chilled, they become even more flavorful. Evergreen does not wax their apples to extend their shelf life, so people can eat the peel without worry. Fall is also harvest season for Evergreen’s grapes. The Korean rose-scented, dark-purple grapes contain more vitamins and minerals—selenium, iron, calcium, and zinc, for example—than common varieties. They are a highly nutritious fruit, good for easing fatigue. Peaches are another of the farm’s best-sellers. When they are perfectly ripe, their fragrance will make your mouth water, and their ripe flesh won’t disappoint your taste buds. Mr. Kim is a man of faith, so he refuses to plant any genetically modified crops. He believes that what the Creator bestowed upon human beings should be used in its original way instead of modifying it. That’s why the food from Evergreen Farm is pure and natural. Mr. Kim also actively gives back to his community. He holds an event for the Jungyangjeol festival on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month to show respect and care for the elders in the community. He cherishes traditional culture and believes that sharing is a source of happiness. Web: Evergreenfarm.us Tel: 609 -259 - 0029 Address: 1023 Yardville Allentown Rd., Hamilton Township, NJ 08620

WHERE CAN WE FIND GOOD FENG SHUI? 風水寶地何處尋——淺談建築設計中的風水問題 Chinese by Simon Zhang | Translated by Sarah Matheson

eng shui tends to be an important issue for Chinese people when considering interior design or the construction of buildings. The ancient discipline has been passed down for thousands of years and is inherently part of Chinese culture. Although some people today have doubts about the efficacy of feng shui, many still consider it vitally important. It was widely rumored that Hong Kong business magnate Li Ka-shing placed importance on feng shui when deciding on the layout of his office buildings and private residences. When former U.S. President Donald Trump converted the Gulf and Western 62│
華人在進行室內裝修、房屋建設等活動時，風水往往是 個繞不開的話題。這一流傳了數千年的古老學科，儘管 在當代社會面臨很多人的質疑，仍然具有強大的生命力。 有一些廣為流傳的名人、名樓的風水故事，也為當代社會 風水概念的活力增添了有趣的註解。 坊間流傳，華人巨富李嘉 誠 的辦公樓和 私宅布局 即涵蓋許多風水的考量。又如紐約著名的川普國際酒店 （Trump International Hotel and Tower），據說是接受 了風水師的建議，在大樓前擺放了一個巨大的金屬地球， 用來緩和車流帶來的負面能量，風水裡叫煞氣，同時把大 樓的入口改了方向。筆者也曾遇到一位客戶，請筆者設計 房子的後花園，一上來就直言，根據風水師的建議，水池 假山必須放在院子的西北角。
Building in New York City into the Trump International Hotel and Tower in the early 1990s, a huge silver globe was placed in front of the building to alleviate the negative energy from the traffic flowing by. In feng shui, undesirable elements are called “sha qi,” or life-draining energy.
當然，也有很多人認為，風水就是沒有根據的過氣玄 學。持不同觀點的人，有時候會在一個共同的項目上相 遇，這就產生了衝突。比如，修建一棟房屋，男主人和 女主人一個相信風水，一個不相信，在房屋的規劃布局 上可能就會有分歧；幾位合夥人裝修一套辦公室，有的 相信風水，有些則不，就可能在空間規劃上產生矛盾。下

COMMON PRINCIPLES OF FENG SHUI When it comes to renovations or building a new house, referencing some general feng shui principles can be helpful, since the same concepts tend to apply to good architectural design: for example, designing a home so that it faces a body of water and has its back to a mountain. When a house is built on relatively higher terrain facing water with mountains behind it, it will have open space in the front. This is also optimal from the perspective of environmental design. Looking out over a wide, open space with good ventilation benefits residents' physical and mental health. Houses positioned according to these basic principles will naturally hold their value, and even appreciate in value. Take a smaller space as another example. In designing apartments with a small floor space, an architect might put the entrances of the kitchen and bathroom opposite each other. In feng shui, this is deemed “as incompatible as fire and water” because the kitchen represents fire, and the bathroom represents water. When these two are positioned opposite each other, it will cause conflict, affecting the health of residents and disrupting harmony within the family. This concept is also easily understood in professional design: The kitchen is an essential place for making food and closely connected to the family’s health. On the other hand, bathrooms are for cleansing and are full of bacteria. If these two entrances connect to each other, it would be difficult to stop the air from moving between them, and the bacteria from the bathroom might enter the kitchen. So situations like this should be avoided, both from the perspective of feng shui and from the perspective of architectural design.
專業角度探討空間設計與風水的關聯，並對此提出一些 個人見解，盼能對風水問題有所疑惑的讀者，有所助益。 常見風水原則 裝修房屋或是建設新房時，也不妨考慮參照些一般的風 水原則。為什麼呢？因為一般的風水原則，和普通的設 計原則，若從用戶的心理和身體健康角度考量，往往是 並行不悖的。比如，人們耳熟能詳的房屋方位原則：背山 面水。有山又有水的地方，必然是山高水低。水體所在之 處，往往是空間更開敞，光線更充足，通風更好的。那麼 房屋背面靠山，面對著水，就是建在較高的地勢上，面對 著開敞的空間。這個方位從建築環境科學的角度分析， 也是極佳的。視野開闊，通風良好，對生理健康和心理健 康都是有益的，何況水體本身還兼具觀賞和趣味性。如此 位置的房屋，必然在房產保值和升值上更占優勢。 再舉一個小的空間範圍為例。在面積稍小的公寓平 面設計中，有時候設計師會不小心把廚房和衛生間的門 口設計成對位，這在風水上叫做「 水火不容」，因為廚房 是火，衛生間是水，二者對位就會造成衝突，影響住戶的 健康和家庭關係。這個從設計專業上也是很容易理解的： 廚房是食物重地，與人的健康關係密切；而衛生間是清 潔之地，多有細菌。二者門口相對，難免空氣互通，衛生 間裡的細菌跑到廚房裡，沒有誰喜歡這樣。因此這種做 法在風水上和在設計專業裡，都應當竭力避免。 切合實際 考量中西差異 當然，一些 風 水 原 則 也不需 生硬 的 套用，給自己 造 成 精神負擔。筆者曾遇過一位業主，擔心自己的公寓犯了 「 橫梁壓頂 」的風水忌諱，因為她的公寓的天花板是暴 露的井字梁結構。其實這種擔心就是多餘的了。因為傳 統意義上的中國建築的「 橫梁 」，是古代坡屋頂木樑柱 結構裡的主要結構構件。一個大的空間內往往只有一根 橫梁，位於正中，與房屋的面寬方向一致，尺寸都比較 大。這樣的建 築構件下，放 上一張 床，躺在床上，信與 不信風水的人都會產生巨大的心理壓力。而這位業主家
PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS: EAST AND WEST Of course, we needn’t strictly adhere to all of the principles of feng shui and unnecessarily burden ourselves. Because of exposed beams in her ceiling, one of my clients worried that her apartment had a
的「 梁 」，乃是英文的beam一詞翻譯而來，與傳統中國 意義上的「 橫梁 」並非是一回事。Beam一詞，在一些語 境中，反倒翻譯為「 柱 」，比如手電筒射出的光，英文叫 light beam，翻譯為「 光柱 」。因此，捕風捉影式的聽 到一些風水原則，生硬的套在自己身上，會給自己帶來不 必要的心理壓力。 │63
problem that is considered taboo in feng shui: “heng liang ya ding” (“horizontal beams pressing from above”). But the Chinese term refers to the beams used in traditional Chinese architecture, which were the main structural component in ancient sloping roofs. A large room usually only had one beam in the center, which was quite large and ran the width of the house. If a bed was placed under this kind of beam, whether the person believed in feng shui or not, the huge beam would cause significant mental pressure. In my client’s case, the beam in her apartment was a common roof beam, not the type used in traditional Chinese architecture.
福德相依 風生水起 那麼是不是真的像傳說中的那樣，有了好的風水，自己 的命運就會改變，升官發財接踵而至呢？其實未必。民 間有種說法：一命二運三風水，四積陰德五讀書。 臺灣 易經專家、名設計師蔡竺欣表示，這五大要素實際上是 輪迴的，形成一個閉環。「 很多人認為，找一個好的風 水是『 因』，因為有了這個好風水，所以有了好的人生際 遇這個 『 果 』。事實上，我認為是『 倒因為果 』。」他 說，人要能得到一個好的風水，其實是個果而不是因， 因為人要想找 到 好風水，必 須有那個 福 分。福 分 怎 麼 積的？通過積陰德、讀書修養——這些自己能夠控制的 因，只有做到了這個「 因」，才容易找到一個好的風水， 這是「 果 」。新加坡風水師林雨生也說，人要正，要是 做壞事的話，風水也幫不了。「 我曾經講，大不過因果。
FENG SHUI AND BLESSINGS Chinese people have a saying: “Fate first, luck second, feng shui third, accumulating virtue fourth, studying fifth.” Tsai Chu-Hsin, a well-known Taiwanese architect and I Ching (The Book of Changes) specialist, said: “A lot of people believe good feng shui is the ‘cause,’ and because they have good feng shui, they have good luck in life as a ‘result.’ In reality, I believe that people have reversed the relationship between the cause and the result.” Mr. Tsai believes that finding good feng shui is the result, not the cause because people who seek good feng shui must have the good fortune to obtain it. But how do we accumulate the blessing of good fortune? We do so through doing good deeds and cultivating our character. These are factors that we have control over. Wesley Lim, a famous feng shui specialist in Singapore, says that people should be righteous; if people do bad deeds, no matter how fabulous the feng shui is, it won’t help. So rather than being fixated on finding good feng shui, we could give attention to improving our character, trying our best to follow the Dao of nature, and meriting Heaven’s blessings. These are purer and more reasonable ways to pursue good feng shui. We would be wise to align ourselves with Mencius’s philosophy: “Turn inward and examine yourself when you encounter difficulties in life.” The ultimate factor behind having good luck comes from oneself.

就是如果他沒有這個因果去承擔這個好處的話，他的局 會破的。」正如《道德經》所言： 「 天道無親，常與善人。」 與其挖空心思，追求完美風水，不妨花時間想辦法提高 自己的道德修養，努力順應天道，求得上天佑護，這會 比單純的追求風水合理得多。 所以，華人朋友如果家裡有建築活動，家裡一位 信風水的要找風水師看看， 另一位不信風水的也不用攔 著。或是您本來不相信風水，裝修房屋的時候不太放心， 看看一般的風水原則，也不用不好意思。正如蔡竺欣先 生所說， 風水是果，不是因。孟子曰：「 行有不得，反 求諸己。」為自己帶來真正好運氣的終極良方，還在於您 自身。 本文內容不完全代表本刊立場、觀點。
