本週《英語咖啡館》迎回了闊別已久的詩敏老師，這集節目從她失去心愛寵物的經歷談起，聊到一個驚人的數據：台灣寵物的數量已超過了小孩的數量！

而恰好的是，本集的歌曲同樣是寫給孩子的—我們先前介紹過的爵士鋼琴大師 Bill Evans 寫給姪女的《Waltz for Debby》爵士經典。這首只有80秒的短曲居然被翻唱超過300次！John老師和詩敏老師也沉浸在歌詞裡那個充滿玩具和想像力的童年世界，還有大人們看著孩子長大時那種又甜又苦的複雜心情 🥲

This week, English Cafe welcomes back the long-absent Shimin. The episode begins with her experience of losing a beloved pet and transitions to a surprising statistic: the number of pets in Taiwan has now exceeded the number of human children!

Coincidentally, this episode's featured song is also written for a child—the jazz classic "Waltz for Debby" by jazz piano master Bill Evans, which we've introduced before, written for his niece. This short piece, only 80 seconds long, has been covered more than 300 times! Shimin and I immerse ourselves in the lyrics' childhood world full of toys and imagination, as well as the bittersweet, complex emotions adults feel watching children grow up 🥲
