⊕"挽面"的英文怎麼說?

"挽面"的英文怎麼說?

答案: "Threading"!

今天中午經過一家美容美髮沙龍時, 先看到圖片,
然後馬上會意是提供"挽面(threading)"的服務.

先前在VallyFair的走道上, 也看到有人在挽面.
當時很驚訝, 因為生意好像滿好的! 可是那時沒看到
它的英文單字, 今天中午一連看到兩家都是
有Threading的服務.

不知是現在灣區這裡很流行挽面, 還是是以前就有的服務?
記得以前好像沒注意到過.

我也是在台北士林住時, 看到菜市場附近好多阿姨,
就著一張小板凳及一個像小桌板的板子,
上面放著修面修指甲的傢伙, 就忙得很起勁, 因為
幾乎每一攤都有人, 每一攤都在做挽面的生意!

不知為什麼, 看到這種景象, 常讓我很感動, 是
想到民國50年代那時候的台灣嗎? ......可是那時自己也
還沒出生啊? 總覺得路邊小板凳上, 坐著臉塗得白白的,
被挽面的人, 以及雙手及嘴巴咬著細線忙著做挽面的
阿姨阿婆們, 那樣的景象, 似乎讓時間停格,
讓我像看到了早期, 民風樸素的年代,
街頭巷尾親切的阿姨大嬸們, 忙裡尋得一段自在的
時光, 為自己的門面關照關照,
像是犒賞自己的認真工作一般,
一種欣喜與得意的氛圍.

想到大阿姨, 我那既謙卑又一輩子努力, 為自己也為家人的
好長輩. 我們一起去日本玩, 坐渡輪時, 大家都在興奮的看海景,
只有阿姨自己默默站在甲板上, 念著大悲咒.

小時候, 讓大阿姨帶了一陣子, 還記得在大阿姨家東玩西玩, 後來
玩鐵鎚敲到大拇指, 阿姨很忙, 以前還看過她用石板及石錘洗衣服,
現在想想, 以前的長輩們都好可敬喔! 一天只有24小時, 但他們認份
辛勤, 一天做的事, 可能是我一個星期或兩個星期才做完的.
(不過, 我也在不斷進化中, 所以, I am continuing expending myself to be
more. 這是我很開心的地方, Yappi! 我也可以做很多很多很多的事呢!)

那是物質生活簡單, 吃苦若飴, 苦中卻能做樂, 且心靈豐足的年代.

大阿姨, 雖然我曾向您說過謝謝的話語, 但我知還不夠.
才四.五歲的我, 正是讓大人忙碌的年紀, 您也很忙碌,
自己一個人要照顧一大群小孩, 但您卻還願意幫媽媽帶我,
餵我吃早餐, 幫我穿襪子, 穿衣服, 帶我走很遠的路去上小學.

直到我長大結婚生孩子, 您還是不辭老遠要表哥載雞來給我
坐月子.

我工作賺錢, 還沒給過您幾次新年的紅包, 您就離開人世了.
雖然您的形體已不在, 但我相信您的精神仍在, 仍在關心著
您愛的家人.

現在我在想您, 我相信您感受得到. 阿姨, 謝謝您曾經照顧我,
感謝您的關心與照顧, 感謝您對我的祝福, 謝謝您.

獻上我的祝福給大阿姨, 祝福您的心靈與精神進化到更高層次.
平安與祥和與您同在.

謝謝您. 祝福您. 我愛您!
