Watching Elephants Walk Free

Last fall, my daughter and I visited Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary, which is located in the mountains of Northern Thailand. Although our stay was short, it turned out to be the most memorable part of our holiday.
The sanctuary is set in a Karen hill tribe village that is made up of around 20 houses. Upon arrival, we went to the house where we would stay for the next two days and met our kind host family. Afterward, we headed to base to learn about the elephants that were in the sanctuary's care.
The eldest, Too Meh, had spent much of her life giving tourists rides with a heavy iron seat tied to her back. Her daughter, Mae Doom, and grandsons, Dodo and Gen Thong, had also spent years in chains doing hard labor to entertain tourists. It broke our hearts to hear their sad stories.
Early the next morning, we saw Too Meh and Mae Doom exploring the forest and Dodo playing by the river. Seeing them free was a heartwarming experience.

守護大象，探訪庇護園區

去年秋天，我和女兒造訪了位於泰國北部山區的大象庇護園地。雖然我們停留的時間很短暫，卻成了我們假期中最令人難忘的部分。
這個庇護園地設立在一個由大約二十棟房子組成的克倫山部落村莊裡。我們一抵達就前往接下來兩天將要住的房子，認識我們友善的寄宿家庭。隨後，我們前往基地去了解庇護園地內照顧的大象。
年紀最大的Too Meh大半輩子都背負沉重的鐵製座騎供遊客騎乘。牠的女兒Mae Doom、孫子Dodo和Gen Thong也有好幾年的時間拴著鏈條從事苦役來娛樂遊客。聽到牠們悲傷的故事讓我們很傷心。
隔天一大早，我們看到Too Meh和Mae Doom在逛森林，而Dodo在河邊玩耍。看到牠們自由的模樣是很感人的經驗。

There's no such thing as a free lunch.
天下沒有白吃的午餐。

這句話字面意思是「沒有免費午餐這樣的東西」，常用來說明任何事都必須付出成本或代價，亦即「天下沒有白吃的午餐；天下無不勞而獲的事」，亦可寫成 There's no free lunch.

其他類似的說法還有：

• Everything comes at a price.
每件事都是有代價的。
• You will have to pay the piper.
你必須支付費用；你必須承擔後果。（編註：字面意思是「付錢給吹笛手」，指聽完優美的演奏後，還是要掏腰包付錢的，引申指「支付費用、承擔後果」）
• You get what you pay for.
= You pay for quality. 一分錢一分貨。

A: Check out this photo editing app. It's completely free to use.
看看這個照片編輯應用程式。完全免費使用耶。
B: Oh, I know that one. To make it worth using, you need the extra features, which of course you have to pay for.
喔，我知道那一個。為了讓它值得使用，你需要額外的功能，當然這些你就得要付費。
A: I should have known it was too good to be true.
我早該知道這肯定有什麼陷阱。
B: Yeah, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
是啊，天下沒有白吃的午餐。

2020/10/20 (二)		If you want to see elephants in their natural environment, Kindred Spirit Elephant Sanctuary is the place to go. 如果你想在大象的自然環境中看到牠們，大象庇護園地是個可以去的地方。

2020/10/22 (四)		That ease, however, has also made it easier to commit a certain type of crime: copyright infringement. 然而，那樣的方便也變得更容易犯下某種罪：侵犯著作權。

2020/10/23 (五)		If you want to use a piece of work but aren't sure if it's under copyright or not, look for the copyright symbol or the phrase "all rights reserved." 如果你想使用一件作品，但不確定是否有著作權，就尋找版權符號或「版權所有」的用語。
