這是彭老師在花蓮的家。來華70載，名下沒有房子。她說：「心在哪裡，家就在哪裡。」

看不見的比看得見的更重要

This was Doris’ home in Hualien in the 1950s. In her 70 years in Taiwan, she never owned her own home. She said, “Home is where your heart is.”

What lives in your heart is far more important than any possession you might own.

彭老師問孩子：「這裡有一長，一短的兩根蠟燭。你們覺得哪根代表你們？哪根代表我？」
孩子開心的回答：「當然長的那根是您，短的那根是我們啊！」
彭老師：「不是喔！短的那根是我，因為我已將燃燒殆盡；長的那根是你們，才剛開始點燃，所以要好好學習，讓你的人生發光發亮。」

即或是最小的燭光，仍能照亮最深的黑暗！

Doris once asked a group of kids: “Here are two candles, one long, and one short. Which candle represents you? The kids confidently replied: “Of course, you are the long candle, we are the short one.” Doris answered: “No. The short candle is me. I have lived a long life; I have burned up much of my candle. The long candle is you. You are young and have just started burning your candle. Diligently learn, and let your light shine for years to come.”

Even the smallest candle can illuminate the darkest night.

提問：「談談您最難忘的耶誕節。」
彭老師：「耶誕前夕，我的哥哥從二次世界大戰戰場平安回家，這份驚喜，至今難忘！」

平安夜，真平安！分享您難忘的耶誕節好嗎？

Doris was asked in an interview what was her most memorable Christmas.
She shared: “One year, my brothers came home safely from the battlefields of World War II. The joy of seeing my brothers and having our family reunited made that an unforgettable Christmas.”

Silent night, peaceful night. What is your most memorable Christmas?

「不要叫我現在停止！我仍繼續使命中！」彭蒙惠

95歲的彭老師到現在仍不放棄，你呢？

Don’t stop me now! I’m on a mission!- Doris Brougham

95 year-old Doris keeps on going and doesn’t give up. What about you?

彭老師很愛玩樂，你猜猜她不會以下哪項樂器？ 可複選。

Doris loves music and plays many musical instruments.
Guess which instrument she DOESN’T play.

畫畫不是彭蒙惠老師的專長。當公益團體向她索畫義賣時，為了幫助人，義不容辭努力學習畫畫。她臨摹的小貓咪可愛嗎？

Drawing is not something Doris excels in. When a charity asked if she could draw for their fundraising auction, Doris agreed because she wanted to help them, and diligently practiced drawing a cat.

美麗的彭蒙惠老師不乏追求者。她渴望愛情，渴望擁有自己的家庭。當求婚者期望能返美生活時，她決定放手，繼續留在所愛的這片土地，奉獻一生。

抉擇，真的不容易！

Doris, beautiful and vivacious, had many suitors. She desired love, marriage and having a family of her own. She got quite a few marriage proposals, but she declined them all. Each time, her suitor would ask Doris to return to America with him and build a life together there. She chose to let go, and continue to stay in the land she loved, Taiwan.

Making decisions can be so hard at times.

您知道彭老師曾在國立藝專 (現為國立台灣藝術大學) 音樂系教過銅管樂嗎？「臺灣法國號之父」莊思遠教授就是她的學生之一，莊教授提供這張珍貴舊照。莊教授說：「彭老師以前就很可愛！我記得她心中常有很特別的創意，無論唱詩班，樂隊表演的動作、隊形轉換、上電視等都有獨特的想法，平常她也很關心我們的生活、音樂學習、英文會話，還幫我們買譜、買樂器、教我們最先進的吹樂器方法、並給我們很好的實習環境，能在她領導的樂隊中演奏真的很過癮，很享受又樂在其中，她對待我們可說是無微不至，我們真的很榮幸能成為她的學生，回想起來心中就會有滿滿的感激與無限對她的祝福～～祝她身體健康、魅力永在～😄。」

Did you know that Doris taught brass instruments in the National College of Arts’ (now National Taiwan University of Arts) Music Department? Professor Zhuang Siyuan, the "Father of the French Horn in Taiwan", was one of her students. Professor Zhuang provided this rare photo. Professor Zhuang said: "Doris has always been different. She often had creative ideas, whether it was the movement or formation changes for choir and band performances, or going on TV. She cared about our daily lives, music learning, and English conversation. She helped us buy music scores and musical instruments, taught us the most advanced methods for playing wind instruments, and gave us a good internship environment. It was very enjoyable to play in the band she led; I really enjoyed those times. She took very good care of us. We are really honored to be her students. When I think about those times, my heart overflows with gratitude. I wish her good health and may she always keep her charm 😄."

彭老師擁有一顆好奇心，喜歡親自操作來學習新的事物，這樣的特質，使她豐富了『空中英語教室』系列雜誌的內容。
這張貼圖是她自己製作的，您喜歡哪張？

Doris is innately curious, and likes to learn new things by trying them herself. This characteristic has enriched the content of Studio Classroom. A fan taught Doris to create her own cartoon avatar. Which photo do you like?

彭老師視毛小孩如家人。她一生未婚，卻說自己比一般人幸運能擁有「空中英語教室」大家庭。孤獨卻不孤單！

Doris loves her pets and treats them as family. She has never been married, but says she feels incredibly blessed to be part of the Studio Classroom family. She is alone but not lonely.

彭老師的時尚品味不受年齡限制。在創新的浪頭上，帶領「空中英語教室」求新求變！

Doris’ fashion sense is not affected by age. In fashion, as in leading Studio Classroom, she doesn’t like doing things the same way. She embraces innovation.

「離別」總讓人惆悵，但對21歲的彭蒙惠老師來說卻是新的啟程！因為她知道自己的方向，即或將面對烽火連天的戰場，仍勇敢面對挑戰。因為這是她的抉擇！

Saying goodbye is always hard, but for 21 year-old Doris, it was hello to a new beginning. Because she knew the direction she was taking in life, even when she was going to a land at war, she bravely set sail.

中間那位是10歲的彭蒙惠老師。兒時的她非常喜歡唱兒歌，一生也受其影響。
有首歌《Joy》歌詞大意：
J = Jesus first
O = Others second
Y = Yourself last
她說：「次序不對就不是真喜樂。」原來這是她喜樂的秘訣！

The girl in the middle was Teacher Doris when she was 10 years old. As a child, she loved to sing songs, and these songs greatly influenced her all her life. One of her favorite songs was: JOY.
J= Jesus first
O= Others second
Y= Yourself last
Doris said: “When the sequence is wrong, there is no joy.” This is the secret to her joy.
