Hopes from Daredevil scaffolders 搭棚留下的盼望 | 「三個一」活動

in #cn7 years ago (edited)

一眾 cn 區用家多次舉辦活動,致力提攜 Steemit cn 社區新人,實在令人感動,這次有賴 @dapeng 舉辦「三個一」活動,接近滿月的我也抒發一下近來感受。

How authentic is Hong Kong's bamboo scaffolding pop-up bar? ) from CNN and learn more about bamboo scaffolding in Hong Kong.Hi, English reader. This post is a article engaging in a contest held by @depeng .This article is regarding my feeling on bamboo scaffolding. I'm so sorry that this article is not comprehensively translated. Please check the article(

首先,為大家帶來一幅香港獨有的景象——搭棚。搭棚是一種傳統的建築技術,簡而言之就是用竹棚築成臨時平台,主要用以維修樓宇工程,不過另外亦有以竹搭成戲棚作節慶之用。搭棚技術緣於中國古代,儘管搭棚節儉方便,不過隨着時代發展,世界各地都改以其他更先進的金屬棚架,甚至香港近年都逐漸轉用金屬棚,湊巧早前看到對面樓宇正在搭棚,彷彿看見年代的嘆息。

Let's see the bamboo scaffolding in action. Bamboo scaffolding is an ancient technique which Hong Kong is still using, even though its usage is reducing. The opposite building of my office was scaffolding bamboo; please see the photo at last and see the result.

看到搭棚師傅們齊心合力,將竹由地面吊上高處,再在竹棚上繼續往上搭棚。這種工夫不但叫人驚嘆,更叫人提心吊膽,即使明白師傅們經驗豐富,而且有着安全措施,理應安全無虞,不過設身置地,幻想一下自己處於高棚,恐怕未敢四處張望,遑論繼續細心搭建,師傅們實在叫人心服。

而搭棚,更令我想起這些無名英雄為香港繁榮進步所帶來的貢獻。

Bamboo scaffolding remembered me what those unnamed heroes are doing for Hong Kong.

現在我們處於繁華都市,燈火昌明,一切似乎來得理所當然,不過在繁華背後,香港如何由當初一個小小的漁港發展至今,卻是有賴一眾無名英雄

至今,香港人或許過於安逸,竟然渴望颱風為大家帶來假期;每當風暴來臨之際,總會聽聞不少棚架被風吹倒,消防、救護四出拯救市民,試問有多少人懂得為他們擔憂呢?每當香港發生工業意外之時,始會有人關注勞工保障,然而在紙醉金迷的世界中,大家又能留下多少記憶呢?

We are living in the modern society and seldom think about the workers. Hong Kong is so safe that some Hongkongers even wish the typhoon comes for a single holiday, whereas forget the enormous effort in which the workers have put.

興許,在未來,香港再也不會看見竹棚,搭棚業自六十年代伴隨香港興起,將來卻會隨着科技發展而流逝。歲月流轉,竹棚難有立錐之地,留下的唯有盼望。

In the future, we may not see any more scaffolding in Hong Kong. Bamboo scaffolding have raised with Hong Kong and will fallen with the rise of Hong Kong.

文末,為大家帶來唐朝杜牧的《金谷園》和搭棚完成後的情況:

繁華事散逐香塵,流水無情草自春。
日幕東風怨啼鳥,落花猶似墜樓人。

Here is a poetry of Du Mu. Du Mu was feeling sad due to the decay of the park.

搭棚業繁華將逝,縱使香港發展蓬勃,竹棚卻是難逃無常,只留下一聲嘆息;留下來的我們也只能盼望未來。
大家還記得上一次是何時學會感謝辛勞工作的人們嗎?

What the bamboo scaffolding leave will be a sigh, and we, which are left behind, should keep the hopes.

這個景象讓我想起了兩個場面:一個是蜘蛛俠,一個是麥兜的搶包山。

反正我是不敢了……
