A Taiwanese documentary, titled Phil’s Journey, chronicles the experiences of a man from New Zealand who searched for his missing son in Taiwan and officially opened in theaters across Taiwan recently.
Phil Tchernegovski took to find his son, who disappeared during a solo backpacking trip in the Alishan area, on six trips to Taiwan between 1998 and 2002. He developed an affinity for Taiwan and its people during that time even though his son was never found.
In the beginning, Tchernegovski questioned the director’s motivation for making the documentary. The director told Tchernegovski that he would document the kindness of the Taiwanese people, and he immediately agreed.
台灣紀錄片《費爾的旅程》記錄了一名來自紐西蘭的父親，在台灣尋找失踪兒子的經歷，並於近日在台灣各地影院正式上映。
費爾於 1998 年至 2002 年間，六度前往台灣，尋找在阿里山地區獨自旅行時失踪的兒子。在那段時間裡，他對台灣產生了濃厚的興趣，也與台灣人民建立深厚的連結，儘管他始終沒有找到他的兒子。
一開始，費爾質疑導演製作這部紀錄片的動機，不太願意加入拍攝。但導演告訴費爾，他想要記錄的是台灣人民的善意，讓費爾立刻同意拍攝。
本文出現兩個與「記錄」有關的單字，document與chronicle
Document除了當名詞作圍「文件」之外，動詞意指「詳細記錄」，例句：
His interest in cars has been well documented by the media. 他對汽車的興趣在媒體的報道中都有詳細的記載。
Chronicle也是記錄，但有照時序、記載大事的意思，例句：
The book chronicles the writer’s coming to terms with his illness. 這本書記述了作者慢慢學會忍受自己病痛的前後過程。
