4 | Since 2006, the newspaper also makes “Book Video” for awarded writers, representing their works in word, music and image. | Nanomboka tamin'ny 2006, manomana “ampahan-tsary momba ny boky” ihany koa io gazety io ho an'ireo mpanoratra nahazo fankasitrahana, ka maneho ny asan'izy ireny amin'ny soratra, feo sy sary. |
5 | This year 11 writers are invited to participate in the clips, including novelists, activists, and essayists. | Tamin'ity taona ity dia mpanoratra 11 no nasaina handray anjara ao anatin-na ampahan-tsary, isan'izany ireo mpanoratra tantara foronina, ireo mafana fo (activists), ary ireo mpanoratra “andrana”. |
6 | There writers share their views and perspectives towards their works, and what they want to reflect upon through words. | Any Ireo mpanoratra ireo dia mizara ny fomba fijeriny sy ny vina momban'ny asa sorany, sy izay tiany ampitaina amin'ny alalan'ny sorany. |
7 | Although the videos are all in Chinese, hopefully they can still convey and reproduce the atmosphere in their works. | Na dia amin'ny teny sinoa daholo aza ireo ampahan-tsary ireo, antenaintsika fa ho afaka mandika sy mamerina ny tontolo voizina sy iainana ao anatin'ireo asa soratra ireo. |

13 | He says in the clip: | Miteny toy izao ny mpanoratra ato anatin'ny ampahan-tsary: |
14 | […] Our society should ask some deep questions: How much profit that banks can earn without being responsible for legacies and consequences? | […] Mila mametra-panontaniana lalina mihitsy ny fiaraha-monintsika: Hoatrinona ny tombony voaangon'ny Banky nefa sady tsy ho tompon'andraikitra amin'ny fiantraikany sy izay ho vokatr'izany akory? |
15 | What standard should be raised to help debtors get back to the society and start a new life, after shouldering their duty? | Inona no tokony hatao hanampiana an'ireo mibaby trosa mba hahita indray ny toerany teo amin'ny fiaraha-monina sy hanombohany fiainam-baovao? taorian'ny nandraisany ny andraikiny? |
16 | How should we urge the government to be accountable and place suitable regulations? | Ahoana no fomba hanaikàntsika ny governemanta mba ho tompon'andraikitra ary hametraka ny lalàna sahaza izany? |
17 | How can we define “financial justice” so that everyone can access financial resources to develop their business and life. | Ahoana no hamaritantsika ny “rariny ara-bola” mba ahafahan'ny olon-drehetra mahazo ny loharanom-bola hampivoarany ny asany sy ny fiainany. |

20 | Us is a book recording stories of several Filipino migrant workers. | Us dia boky mirakitra ny tantara-na mpiasa mpifindra monina Filipiana maro. |
21 | Taiwan has introduced lots of migrant workers from Southeast Asian countries, such as Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, since 1990. | Taiwan dia nampiditra mpiasa mpifindra monina maro avy amin'ny firenena any Asia Atsimo Atsinanana, toa an-dry Indonezia, Filipina, Tailandy sy Vietnama, nanomboka tamin'ny 1990. |
22 | In her own words in the clip: | Hoy ny fomba filàzany manokana ao anatin'ny ampahan-tsary: |
23 | […] If this book can have any effects to the society, I hope it would serve like a mirror to help us see each other. | […] Raha toa hisy fiantraikany eo amin'ny fiaraha-monina io boky io dia manantena aho fa ho fitaratra hanampy antsika hifampijery izy. |
24 | We have tried to protest, to perform songs and dances, and to hold press and public hearings. | Niezaka ny hanohitra isika, hihira sy handihy, ary ho henoin'ny vahoaka sy hisarika ny fampahalalana vaovao. |
25 | With all these ways, soft and hard, we are just trying to foster a conversation to the society. | Amin'ny alalan'ireny fomba rehetra ireny, na mora na sarotra, niezaka ny hifampiresaka amin'ny fiaraha-monina fotsiny isika. |
26 | […] I am always very aware of my readers when I write. | […] Mitandrin-tena foana aho manoloana ireo mpamaky rehefa manoratra. |
27 | I hope people can see. | Manantena aho fa tsikaritry ny olona izany. |
28 | I hope people can understand that these stories really happen in Taiwan. | Manantena aho fa azon'ny olona hoe tena zava-mitranga any Taiwan ireny tantara ireny. |
29 | Migrant workers are in our neighborhood, but many people pretend they do not exist. | Mpifanolo-bodirindrina aminay ireo mpiasa mpifindra monina, nefa maro no miteny fa tsy misy izy ireny. |
30 | The End of River | The End of River |
31 | As the first generation of Malaysian-Chinese writer in Taiwan, Li Yong-Ping (李永平) writes the novel with Borneo, Malaysia in mind, but lives in Taipei, Taiwan. | Amin'ny maha-taranaka voalohany amin'ny mpanoratra Maleziana-Sinoa any Taiwan, Li Yong-Ping (李永平) dia nanoratra ilay tantara miaraka amin'i Borneo sy Malezia ao an-tsainy ao, nefa mipetraka any Taipei, Taiwan. |
32 | He mentions: | Hoy izy milaza: |
33 | I am a novelist. | Mpanoratra tantara foronina aho. |
34 | Novelists should have the skill to combine two different spaces together. | Ny mpanoratra tantara dia tokony hanana ny fahaiza-manao hampivadiana tontolo roa samy hafa. |
35 | When I open the window in my study, I see Dan Shuei River in Taiwan, but I am writing the story about the river in Borneo. | Rehefa manokatra ny varavarankelin'ny biraoko aho dia mahita ny reniranon'i Dan Shuei eto Taiwan, nefa izaho manoratra tantara momba ny renirano any Borneo. |
36 | In a writer's mind, the two rivers and the two scenes will miraculously interact. | Ao anatin'ny saina mpanoratra, ireo renirano roa ireo sy ireo sehatra roa ireo dia mifandray amin'ny fomba mahagaga. |
37 | As it grows stronger, the two rivers merge together. | Noho izy ity mitombo fatratra, dia mitambatra ireo renirano roa ireo. |
38 | In the end, it is so difficult to distinguish which river I am writing about. | Farany dia sarotra be ny manavaka hoe momba ny reniranon'iza marina no tena soratako. |
39 | This is the most beautiful experience in writing, which is hard to be conveyed. | Izany no traikefa tsara indrindra amin'ny asa fanoratana, izay sarotra ampitaina tokoa. |
40 | I believe, however, sensitive readers will notice this very interesting situation. | Na izany aza, ireo mpamaky mora mihetsi-po dia hahamarika izay tranga mahazendana izay. |
