1991年時，我在澳洲維多利亞州（Victoria)的一個鄉下小鎮認識一位叫貝佐•安德魯•羅賓遜(Basil Andrew Robinson)的退休物理治療師。羅賓遜吿訴我他在離開學校後曾在墨爾本大學唸過體育。 在二次世界大戰之後他完成體育與物理治療的學業。羅賓遜指出他從墨爾本大學與維多利亞物理 治療註冊局所接受的優良教育，保證他們這些維多利亞州的畢業生在全球都受歡迎。為了證明所 言不假，他以他自己曾為聯合國（United Nations)設立的物理治療教育課程提供二十年以上的諮詢 做為例子。在接下來的十年間，經由對談與資料蒐集，我了解到這一位治療師除其家人以外鮮為 人知的生命傳奇。本篇文章將描述這位貝佐•羅賓遜的部分人生，尤其著重在與臺灣有關的部分。

physical education at the University of Melbourne. Following the Second World War he completed physical education and physiotherapy. Robinson indicated that the excellent education he received through the University and the Victorian Registration Board ensured that Victorian graduates were welcomed worldwide. As evidence of this recognition he indicated he had spent over 20 years consulting to the United Nations (UN) establishing physiotherapy programs. With conversations and materials gathered over the next decade I learned about a physiotherapist who had led an extraordinary life, yet very few people outside his family know his story. This paper describes part of Basil Robinson’s life with a particular emphasis on Taiwan.
