訪問日期:105.01.26 英文記錄:翊慈/中文記錄:瑞文

Jimi Moe is the founder of SPRING SCREAM, an annual music festival held in Kenting in April each year for people who love music to show their great passion for music. Ever since its first establishment in 1995, it has become a time for music lovers to express, show themselves and exchange their experience in music composing. Because of Jimi’s great passion for music, he made efforts in promoting this music festival. Thanks to Jimi Moe, some singers’ talent in music is seen and they thus release their first albums.

Jimi is 168 centimeters tall and is from Seattle. Seattle is famous for its beautiful and UFO-like building called Space Needle. It was build when the World Fair was held in Seattle in 1962. He has been in Taiwan for 25 years. The reason why he came to Taiwan was to study Chinese. As for his impression on people in Yilan, Jimi said they are friendly, nice and hard-working. What’s more, Yilan is clean, quiet and natural. He is now a teacher teaching English, guitar and computer, and is a snowboarding teacher as well. He went to Hokkaido of Japan to teach snowboarding and just got back to Taiwan the day before the interview. His favorite food in Taiwan is stinky tofu though many foreigners don’t like it, it is still Jimi’s favorite. He has great interest in learning new things; for example, he is now learning calligraphy, so his hand-writing is very beautiful. He is really a foreign who blends in life in Yilan well.

這次的受訪者是曾經在TEDxTaipei演講過的Jimi Moe(牟齊民)――春天吶喊的創辦人,已經來台灣二十五年的Jimi熱情地跟在場的每個同學說:「Welcome to Taiwan!」他說他來台灣已經很久了,比在場的每個訪問者都久。

Jimi來自美國西雅圖――產咖啡、飛機、科技產品的地方。喜歡音樂的Jimi有很多個身分:游泳老師、滑雪老師、英文老師、電腦老師、吉他老師,前一天才剛從日本回來,因為他去北海道教滑雪。比起游泳,他更喜歡浮潛,他喜歡在海裡浮潛。他說台灣是個美麗的國家,七年前他搬來羅東住。宜蘭山很多,離海很近,他覺得宜蘭是個乾淨、安靜、自然的好地方。

Jimi最喜歡的台灣小吃是臭豆腐,不過他更常吃越南菜。問Jimi去過哪些國家,他說這問題很難回答。Jimi在現場數了起來,兩隻手的手指頭都不夠用了。足跡遍及歐、亞、美、非、大洋洲,應該有二、三十個國家吧!Jimi看起來很年輕,他喜歡學習新事物,他現在還在學書法呢!

儘管很會說中文,Jimi在訪問過程仍希望我們用英文提問,負責訪問的同學問完後,他要在場的每一個人都試著開口用英文問他問題,誰也躲不掉。等全部都問完後,換他問每一個人問題,我們等於上了一堂英文課。他說他是英文老師,要讓大家盡量練習說英語,寒假還可以上英文課,收穫真不少。
