Everyday Bravery: Pins That Warm the Heart  給人勇氣的暖心小胸針
Bravery pins are giving a deeper meaning to what you pin on your shirt.
勇氣胸針賦予你別在襯衫時一個更深層的意義。



   Pins are a fun way to add personal style to your clothes. Most pins use funny sentences or cute art to catch people's attention. Artist Emily McDowell's "Everyday Bravery" pins are a bit different.
  Her pins come in simple colors like red, blue, green, and purple, and only have a few words. Although the messages are short, they are very powerful. They help people celebrate both the big and small victories in life. Some popular pins include "Drank Enough Water" and "Took My Own Advice." McDowell's favorite says "Someone Didn't Like Me and It Was OK." In total, there are 24 pins to date. McDowell designed this collection because she thinks people don't give themselves enough credit for the good things they do in life. McDowell says, "Things like surviving grief or changing your thinking take a lot of work, and I think it's cool to acknowledge it."
  So far, the pins have been a big hit. McDowell enjoys when people post pictures of themselves wearing the pins and tell their own stories. The pins' popularity shows that although our lives might be different, we all share similar experiences.


 

  胸針是在你的衣服上增添個人風格的有趣方式。大部分的胸針用有趣的句子或可愛的藝術來吸引人注意。藝術家艾蜜莉•麥克道爾的「每日勇氣」胸針卻有點不一樣。
  她的胸針有幾種簡單顏色,像是紅色、藍色、綠色和紫色,而且上面只有幾個字。雖然這些訊息很短,但是它們很有影響力。它們能幫人慶祝人生中大大小小的勝利。有些受歡迎的胸針包括「喝了足夠的水」和「接受我自己的建言」。麥克道爾最愛的胸針上寫的是「有人不喜歡我也沒關係」。總計,至今有二十四款胸針。麥克道爾設計這一批胸針是因為,她覺得人們沒有給自己在生命中做過的好事充分的讚美。麥克道爾說:「像走出悲傷或是改變你的想法都很花工夫,所以我覺得承認它是很酷的一件事情。」
  到目前為止,這些胸針已變得十分熱門。人們張貼他們別著這些胸針並訴說自己故事的照片時,麥克道爾會很開心。這些胸針的受歡迎程度顯示雖然我們的人生可能不同,但是我們都共享相似的經驗。

名詞 date 的相關用法
本文 "In total, there are 24 pins to date." 中的片語 to date 表「至今」。由名詞 date 衍生出來的形容詞有 up to date(後面接名詞時要用 up-to-date),表「跟上最新潮流的;包含最新資訊的;現代的」;其相反字則為 out of date(後面接名詞時要用 out-of-date),表「老舊的;過時的;過期失效的」。例:

This movie is the director's best work to date.
(這部電影是該導演至今最好的作品。)

Paul is very fashionable and is always up to date with the latest trends.
(保羅非常時髦,而且總會追上最新潮流。)

(喇叭褲已經過時好久了。)
