許多照片藉由捕捉某種情緒或利用拍下某時期獨一無二的圖像而引人注目，因為照片定義出了時代。其中最著名的歷史照片是在硫磺島上士兵們舉起美國國旗，和拳擊手穆罕默德·阿里站在拳擊台上被他擊敗的對手前。

====The Kiss Seen around the world====
 +
 +
The subjects of the photo were complete strangers. Many people have claimed to be the sailor and nurse whose faces are obscured by the angle of the camera.
 +
 +
A week after being taken, the photo was published in Life magazine. Another photograph of the same kiss, taken by another photographer, was issued in the New York Times, but it was a tighter angle and failed to show the familiar Times Square buildings in the background. Eisenstaedt maintained copyrights for his photo and limited how it could be made. The other image of the kiss is in the public domain because it was produced by a federal government employee on official duty. Last September, the woman believed to be the heroine photographed in the historic photo died at the age of 92.
 +
 +
照片中的主角是兩個完全陌生的人。很多人都聲稱他們是照片上因為相機角度而看不清楚的水手和護士。
 +
 +
拍攝完一周後，這張照片發表在生活雜誌上。另一個一樣是親吻的照片，由另一位攝影師拍攝，在紐約時報發行，但這是一個更加緊密的角度，沒有拍到熟悉的時代廣場建築。Eisenstaedt維護他的照片版權和限制它如何被使用。另一張親吻的照片屬於公共領域，因為它是由聯邦政府在出勤的員工拍下的。去年九月，被認為是歷史照片的女主角在92歲時死亡。

A revolutionary new technology was implemented in 1997 that uses tempered, or hardened Czech glass to create nail files. The superior structure makes the glass optimal for sanding down nails and dead skin without causing damage. There are many benefits to using glass to file your nails compared to other materials. For example, the glass stays more sterile because the surface of the file doesn't absorb germs, and the granular surface of the glass doesn't wear down like metal nail files. Thanks to the miracle of the special glass, which has a rich past, glass nail files reign supreme.

====Japanese Tourists Feel at Home in Taiwan====
 +
Before World War ∥ ended, the Empire of Japan ruled Taiwan for five decades. Maybe that's why Japanese tourists feel at home traveling to their neighboring island to the south. The Japanese left behind a mixed legacy, which involved both the genocide of the indigenous people on the island and the building of important infrastructure.
 +
 +
This history doesn't stop most Taiwanese locals from welcoming tourists from Japan with open arms.
 +
 +
在第二次世界大戰結束之前，日本帝國統治了台灣五十年。說不定這就是為什麼日本遊客覺得到他們南方鄰近島嶼旅遊很自在。日本留下了遺產，這涉及島上原住民的種族滅絕和建設重要的基礎設施。
 +
 +
這個歷史並沒有阻止大多數台灣當地人張開雙臂去歡迎來自日本的遊客。

====The Scoop of the Century====
 +
 +
Journalists are meant to report the news, but sometimes 噁the story of their lives is also worthy of making the headlines. One example is Clare  Hollingworth, who was born in 1911. She would go on to become a legendary figure in journalism during a century noted for unparalleled change.
 +
 +
Hollingworth's father took his young daughter to visit major historical battlefields as a child, so her interest in war began at an early age. She started work as a secretary for the new League of Nations and was later sent to Poland by a British refugee organization. While working there, she assisted in sending several thousand refugee to safety in the United Kingdom. Hollingworth then returned to Britain herself and was hired by The Daily Telegraph, a UK newspaper. When she was sent to Poland to report on worsening situations in Europe, she spotted hundreds of tanks near the Polish border and realized that Hitler was preparing an attack.
 +
 +
記者的目的是要播報新聞，但有時他們的故事也值得登上頭條。其中一個例子是Clare  Hollingworth，她出生於1911，她以前所未有的改變在一世紀中，接著變成新聞界傳奇的人物。
 +
 +
Hollingworth的爸爸在她小時候，就帶她去看歷史的主要戰場，所以她從小就對戰爭產生興趣。她開始工作在國際聯盟當秘書，後來被英國難民組織派到波蘭。在那工作時，她幫助幾千民難民安全到英國。Hollingworth也回到英國，並被英國報社《每日電報》雇用。當她到波蘭報導歐洲惡化的情形，她發現波蘭邊界附近有數百輛坦克，意識到了希特勒正準備進攻。

====The Scoop of the Century====
 +
 +
After only three days on her new job as a correspondent, she submitted a news story about the upcoming attack that later earned the nickname "the scoop of the century." Germany attacked Poland three days later, starting World ∥.
 +
 +
Hollingworth continued to report during the war from Europe and Egypt. Afterwards, she spent time to Algeria, where the locals were rebelling against French colonial rule. This was followed by posts in India, Vietnam, China, and other places. While in Lebanon during 1963, she discovered that the infamous double agent Kim Philby, a man wanted by the British government, had fled to Russia.
 +
 +
From 1973 to her death in January of 2017 at the age of 105, Hollingworth made her home in Hong Kong. Though she was only 160 cm tall, Hollingworth was nonetheless a true giant among journalists.
 +
 +
通訊記者這個工作才上任三天，她就交了一篇關於即將來到的戰爭，就被封為《世紀獨家新聞》。在三天後，德國襲擊了波蘭，開始了第二次世界大戰。
 +
 +
Hollingworth繼續報導歐洲和埃及之間的戰爭。之後，她花時間去阿爾及利亞，他們當地居民反抗法國的殖民統治。後來派到印度、越南、中國和其他地方。當她1963年到黎巴嫩，發現惡名昭彰的雙重間諜Kim Philby，英國政府通輯的一位男士，他要逃亡到俄羅斯。

====The Japanese Fox Village====
 +
 +
In East Asian and European folklore, foxes have long been considered intelligent cunning, and mischievous creature. In some culture, they are seen as clever, magical beings with the power to transform into humans. Japanese culture is particularly fond of fox, as can be seen in their literature, video games and even food. For example, inarizushi, or rice balls wrapped in fried tofu skin, is a nod to Shinto fox god in Inari. Part of their appeal is that the small, wild canines with perky ears, bushy talls, and adorable faces are beloved but difficult to approach.
 +
 +
In Japan, there are many ways to get close to exotic animals in controlled environments. Owl cafe, an island of bunnies, islands filled with cats, and cat cafes across the archipelago are some examples. Of tourist attractions centered around animals.
 +
 +
在東亞和歐洲的民間傳說裡，狐狸長時間被認為是聰明、奸詐和調皮的生物。在一些文化中，他們被看做聰明有魔法的生物，有轉化成人的力量。日本的文化特別喜歡狐狸，從它們的文學、電動甚至是食物。舉例來說，稻禾壽司，用炸豆腐皮包裹著飯糰，是向神道狐狸神致敬。他們部分的吸引力是他們是小的野生犬有著挺拔的耳朵，毛茸茸的尾巴，和可愛的臉，雖然被喜愛但很難以親近。
 +
 +
在日本，它們用很多方式去接近在受控制環境中的奇特的動物。橫跨群島的貓頭鷹咖啡廳，兔子島，充滿貓的島和貓咖啡廳都是一些例子。這些以動物為主的觀光景點。

====The Japanese Fox Village====
 +
If you would rather get up close and personal with foxes in the wild, there is a place located in the the mountains of Miyagi prefecture
 +
where you can do just that.
 +
 +
The Zao Fox Village is a free-range fox zoo with 18,000 square feet of forest for six different species of foxes. The sanctuary was founded in 1990 as a haven for foxes that were saved from being killed for their fur. Now, over 100 wild foxes call the village home. All of the different colored foxes playing together in one place is truly a sight to see .However, these foxes are not domesticated, so following the rules to exercise caution is necessary. With plenty of space to roam around and protection from the fur trade, this fox oasis is  the perfect opportunity to back in the cuteness of these lovable creatures.
 +
 +
假如你寧願和野生狐狸近距離接觸，有個坐落於宮城縣的山裡，那裡可以讓你近距離接觸。
 +
 +
藏王狐狸村是個自由放養的狐狸動物園，在18,000平方英尺的森林裡有六種不同品種的狐狸。這個庇護所創建於1990年，是狐狸的避風港，能保護他們不會因為皮毛而遭到殺害。現在，超過100隻狐狸當那個村為家。全部不同顏色的狐狸在一個地方玩在一起是真的可以看見的景象。然而，這些狐狸沒有被馴養，所以要小心謹慎的遵守這些規則。有足夠的空間散步和保護不受到皮毛貿易，這個狐狸綠洲是能讓人沉醉在可愛的生物的絕佳機會。

====London to Taipei:Double-decker Buses Are Great!====
 +
 +
Is there anything more iconic than the red double-decker buses of London? The first double-deckers appeared on the streets of London in the early 1900s, but they were actually manufactured in Germany.Today, modern double-decker are in use in many countries. However, nowhere are they more of a national symbol than in UK. In London, they are also the most common type of bus used for general transportation. In addition to preserving tradition, one reason double-deckers are used more than extra-long buses in the UK is that they are easier to drive on narrow streets and offer more seating capacity for passengers. The AEC Roadmaster bus had been used in London since its introduction in 1956.
 +
Nevertheless, this model is now no longer on the streets because of the difficulty these buses had in accommodate disabled passengers, and it has since been replaced by newer models.
 +
 +
有人任何東西比倫敦的紅色雙層巴士還更具代表性的嗎？第一個雙層巴士出現在20世紀初的倫敦街上，但是實際上是德國製造。現今，現代雙層巴士使用在很多國家。然而，他們是英國的國家象徵，沒有其他國家能比。在倫敦，它們也是一般交通運輸中最常見的公車類型。除了保留傳統外，雙層巴士在英國使用多於加長型巴士的一個理由是它可以更輕鬆開在狹窄的街道，和提供乘客更多座位和空間。ACE路霸公車從1956年引進就一直在倫敦使用。雖然，現在在街頭已經看不到這種車了，因為這些巴士難載身障乘客，而被新的車取代了。

In addition to getting passengers from point A to point B, double-decker buses are also operated for sightseeing tours. In tourist hot spots such as Hollywood, Las Vegas, Berlin, Singapore, and Hong Kong,these distinctive vehicles, typically without a roof, are a hit with tourists. In January 2017, double-deckers finally made their way to Taipei. Tourists and locals alike can ride them to view such landmarks as Taipei 101, the Nation Palace Museum, Taipei Expo Park, and several other spots. The price of the ticket allows passengers to get on and off the buses as many times as they wish as long as it is within a specified timeframe. Options include a night ticket,a day ticket, a one-day ticket, as well as a two-day ticket. What are you waiting for? Go ride a double-decker bus through Taipei and see the sights of city like you never have before.

====Singapore Buses Use Improper English on Signs====
 +
 +
In the multicultural hub of Singapore, English is one of the country's four official languages. The dialect that locals use is commonly called Singlish, which is a unique Singaporean spin on the English language. Like many other places, people in Singapore incorporate slang and improper grammar into their spoken language. The city is embracing Singlish by printing bus signs using what some would call broken English. Signs on the three-door Tower Transit buses are experimenting with the use of Singlish in the public sphere. A few examples of text printed on the signs include:"Sorry, wait a while can?", "Singapore now got 3-door bus!", "Here cannot go in!", "Here can charge phone!" and "Sorry, exit the other side can?"
 +
 +
在新加坡這多元文化的中心，英語是四個官方語言中的其中一個。當地人通常使用的方言叫新加坡式英語，這個語言是新加坡人的一種獨特的英文表達方式。像是很多其他的地方，新加坡人把俚語和不當的問法納入他們口語。這個城市欣然接受新加坡式英語，印出一些人稱破英語的巴士標誌。三門塔式巴士上的標誌正在公共場合嘗試使用新加坡式英語。標誌上印的幾個例子包括：「對不起，稍等一下可以嗎？」，「新加坡現在有三門巴士！」，「這裡不能進入！」，「這裡可以充手機？」「對不起，可以在另一邊下車嗎？」

====Singapore Buses Use Improper English on Signs====
 +
While it adds local flavor to the experience of taking public transportation, and some people like the quirkiness of the signs, it can be confusing for visitors. According to the bus company, the use of signlish is meant to make people pay closer attention to the signage, which highlights the new USB ports and staircases. The signs are also printed with the correct English written underneath to avoid confusion.
 +
 +
Mr. Rey Serrano, a 34-year-old design engineer, told The Straits Times, "Tourists who do not know Singlish might misunderstand the sign and leave with a bad impression of Singaporeans' standard of English." Although some people might get the wrong idea, the signs will only be left up there for six months to see how it works out.
 +
 +
雖然這讓乘坐公共交通工具的經驗增加了地方風味，且有些人也喜歡這些標誌的奇特，但會使觀光客感到困惑。根據巴士公司表示，新加波式英語的使用是為了要讓人們更加關注標誌，它最突出的地方是有新的USB插口和樓梯。標誌下方還印著正確的英文書寫以避免混淆。
 +
 +
Rey Serrano先生34歲，是一位設計工程師，告訴海峽時報：「不知道新加坡式英語的遊客可能會誤解這個標誌，並對新加坡人的英語水平留下不好的印象離開。」雖然有些人可能會有誤解，但這些標誌只會留在巴士六個月，看看它是如何運作的。

====England's Eton College====
 +
 +
Eton College is one of the most distinguished and interesting learning institutions in the United Kingdom. Probably the most famous school of its kind in the world, Eton enrolls around 1,300 male boarding students, aged 13 to 18. Eton College is not a College in the conventional sense of the word, but rather a boy's senior high school.
 +
 +
Eton is renowned for its quality education, state-of-the-art learning facilities, and a wide range of extracurricular activities. Students enjoy a low pupil-teacher ratio, and each student has his own private study room and tutor. The school has a high success rate for students being accepted into leading universities in the UK like Oxford and Cambridge.The prestigious institution has been educating high achievers since its founding in 1440 by King Herry VI as a school for underprivileged boys.
 +
 +
伊頓公學是英國最卓越和有趣的學習機構之一，也許是世界上同類型的學校中最有名的。伊頓公學約有1300名13至18歲的寄宿男學生註冊就讀。伊頓公學不是字面意思上的學院，而是一所男子高中。
 +
 +
伊頓以優質的教育、最先進的學習設施與各式各樣的課外活動而聞名。學生和老師的比率低，每個學生都有自己的私人書房和導師。伊頓學校被英國牛津大學和劍橋大學錄取的成功率很高。這個有名望的學校從1440年由King Herry六世成立以來，為貧困男孩設的學校，教育出了高成就者。

====England's Eton College====
 +
 +
Eton boasts 20 British prime ministers among its alumni. Little wonder, since it is traditionally referred to as "the chief nurse of England's statesmen."
 +
 +
As one would expect,it is not easy to enroll in Eton College. Of course, successful applicants must demonstrate proficiency in the standard examination subjects. In addition, their intelligence and creativity are tested in some unique ways. One question asked applicants to imagine they were Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth and to make up a diary entry they think she would write expressing her feelings after receiving her husband's letter. There was also a quiz in which they had to successfully figure out word meanings in a made-up language. Perhaps most difficult was the essay assignment requiring the applicants to explain why the killing of violent protesters by police, a current news story, was both moral and the only available option.
 +
 +
伊頓在以有20位當過英國首相的校友為傲。難怪，因為傳統上它被稱為「英格蘭政治家的主要保母」。
 +
 +
正如人們預料，要進伊頓公學讀書並不容易。當然，成功的申請者必須展現在標准考試科目的專精。此外，他們的智慧和創造力會以一些獨特的方式來測試。有一個問題讓申請者想像他們是莎士比亞的麥克白夫人，並寫下他們認為她會在收到丈夫的信後怎麼來表達自己感受的日記。還有一個測驗，他們要成功地想出一種編造的語言來表達字的意思。也許最困難的是散文測驗，要求申請人解釋為什麼在最近的一個新聞故事，警察殺害暴力抗議者是道德的且也是唯一可行的選擇。

The culture of Eton College places great emphasis on their students'extracurricular, non-academic life. There are numerous clubs, called societies, that focus on such things as economics, polices, business, finance, and investment banking. There is an aviation society for airplane hobbyists a visionary society that's all about futurology, and a society about American politics and issues, to name a few. If there is not already a society for a students particular interest, he is encouraged to start one. A teacher represents each society, but these clubs are managed by their members. Every week, the student groups host up to 20 speaking events. Speakers are often Nobel Prize winners and typically world-class experts. A hallmark of Eton's student culture is that they are given the freedom and independence to pursue individual interests in a nurturing environment where students develop a high degree of self-confidence and responsibility.
 +
 +
伊頓公學非常重視學生的課外、非學術的生活。那有許多稱為協會的社團，專注在如經濟、政治、商業、金融和投資銀行等事情。具少數幾個為例，有個航空協會給熱愛飛機的人；一個有遠見協會那裏都是關於未來學；和一個協會是關於美國政治和問題。如果有學生還沒有特別有興趣的協會，他會被鼓勵自己創一個。每個協會都有老師代表，但這些社團是由他們的成員來管理。每個禮拜，學生小組會主辦多達20個演講活動。演講者通常是諾貝爾獎得主和世界級的專家。伊頓公學學生的文化特徵是，他們在能發展出高度自信和責任感的培育環境裡，它們被賦予去追求個人興趣的自由和獨立。

====The Cat Raised as a Dog====
 +

There is a common saying,"They fight like cats and dogs." Perhaps this phrase come about because these two animals have different characteristics. Cats are distant and take some time to become friendly, while dogs are known for their ability to socialize with other animals. Therefore, the story of Rosie the cat may come as a surprise to many people.

As a kitten, Rosie was not in the best of health. Fortunately, a trio of Californian sisters rescued her. The sisters realized that medicine could only do so much, and this situation needed a mother's touch. The sisters' family has three Siberian Huskies, one of which took on the task of raising the kitten as her own. Thought the dog had never been a mother before, she quickly adapted to her new role.

有個常見的話，「他們大吵一架(像貓狗一樣吵)。」或許這個用語的出現，是因為這兩種動物有著不同的特點。貓不親近人，要花些時間才會變友善，狗有和其他動物社交的能力這是眾所周知的事。因此，Rosie 的故事可能會讓你出乎意料。

當Rosie還是一隻小貓，Rosie沒有在的最佳狀態。幸運地，在加州的三姊妹救了牠。三姊妹意識到藥物的幫助有限，這個情況需要一個媽媽的接觸。三姊妹的家庭有三隻西伯利亞哈士奇，有一隻承擔了把這隻小貓當自己的來養的任務。雖然這隻狗從來沒有當過媽媽，但她很快地就適應了自己的新角色。

In many ways, Rosie now acts like a dog. She likes to play in water, she travels with a pack, and she even enjoys eating dog food. While the family has other cats, she prefer to spend time with her canine cohorts. There is a psychological theory called imprinting that may account for this odd behavior. People and animals learn how to behave from their caretakers. When a caretaker does certain gestures or action, the one being taken care of will often mimic the same action. This is why young children will have the same language and accents as their parents. For Rosie, all that matters is that she went from being homeless to becoming a member of a large and loving pack where she can belong, no matter what species she happens to be.

在許多方面，Rosie 現在的行為就跟狗一樣。牠喜歡在水裡玩，旅行時成群，牠甚至很享受吃狗的食物。當她家裡有其他的貓，他比較喜歡花時間和狗狗同伴在一起。有一個心理學理論叫銘印現象，可以說明這個奇怪的行為。人們和動物會從他們的看護人上學習如何表現行為。當一個看護人做某些手勢或行動，被看護的人通常會模仿著一樣的動作，這就是為什麼小孩和他們的父母會說出一樣的語言和口音。對Rosie來說，最重要的是，他從無家可歸到能成為一個龐大又有愛的動物群裡的一員，無論她是什麼物種。

The Kiss Seen around the world

Many photographs stand out as images that define an era by capturing a certain mood or using imagery that is unique to the time period it was taken. Among the most recognizable historical photographs are the shots of soldiers raising the American flag at Lwo Jima, and the boxer Muhammad Ali standing over his defeated opponent in the boxing ring.

One photograph that is also recognized the world over features a navy sailor kissing a nurse in Times Square in New York City on August 14, 1945. It was the day that the United States declared victory over Japan in World ||,known as V-J Day. The photographer, Alfred Eisenstaedt, snapped the photo when he noticed the sailor running around kissing strangers. When the sailor grabbed the nurse, Eisenstawdt was ready to take their photograph, effectively capturing the excitement and optimism in the air of the post-war period.

許多照片藉由捕捉某種情緒或利用拍下某時期獨一無二的圖像而引人注目，因為照片定義出了時代。其中最著名的歷史照片是在硫磺島上士兵們舉起美國國旗，和拳擊手穆罕默德·阿里站在拳擊台上被他擊敗的對手前。

一張也被世界聞名的照片，在1945年8月14日的紐約市時代廣場，海軍水手親吻一名護士的照片。那是美國在第二次世界大戰宣布對日本爭勝利的那一天，稱為 V-J日。攝影師Alfred Eisenstaedt當他注意到水手在親吻陌生人時，拍攝的照片。當水手抓住護士時，Eisenstawdt已準備拍照，確實地捕捉了戰後時期的興奮和樂觀。

The Kiss Seen around the world

The subjects of the photo were complete strangers. Many people have claimed to be the sailor and nurse whose faces are obscured by the angle of the camera.

A week after being taken, the photo was published in Life magazine. Another photograph of the same kiss, taken by another photographer, was issued in the New York Times, but it was a tighter angle and failed to show the familiar Times Square buildings in the background. Eisenstaedt maintained copyrights for his photo and limited how it could be made. The other image of the kiss is in the public domain because it was produced by a federal government employee on official duty. Last September, the woman believed to be the heroine photographed in the historic photo died at the age of 92.

照片中的主角是兩個完全陌生的人。很多人都聲稱他們是照片上因為相機角度而看不清楚的水手和護士。

拍攝完一周後，這張照片發表在生活雜誌上。另一個一樣是親吻的照片，由另一位攝影師拍攝，在紐約時報發行，但這是一個更加緊密的角度，沒有拍到熟悉的時代廣場建築。Eisenstaedt維護他的照片版權和限制它如何被使用。另一張親吻的照片屬於公共領域，因為它是由聯邦政府在出勤的員工拍下的。去年九月，被認為是歷史照片的女主角在92歲時死亡。

Czech Glass Nail Files＆The Benefits of Bohemian Glass

Just in case it does break, unlike regular glass, the pieces are not razor sharp and are safer to clean up. This sought-after glassware comes in a range of styles, from chandeliers from chandeliers for French royalty to jewelry that is as precious as diamonds.

The superior structure makes the glass optimal for sanding down nails and dead skin without causing damage. There are many benefits to using glass to file your nails compared to other materials. For example, the glass stays more sterile because the surface of the file doesn't absorb germs, and the granular surface of the glass doesn't wear down like metal nail files. Thanks to the miracle of the special glass, which has a rich past, glass nail files reign supreme.

Japanese Tourists Feel at Home in Taiwan

Before World War ∥ ended, the Empire of Japan ruled Taiwan for five decades. Maybe that's why Japanese tourists feel at home traveling to their neighboring island to the south. The Japanese left behind a mixed legacy, which involved both the genocide of the indigenous people on the island and the building of important infrastructure.

This history doesn't stop most Taiwanese locals from welcoming tourists from Japan with open arms.

在第二次世界大戰結束之前，日本帝國統治了台灣五十年。說不定這就是為什麼日本遊客覺得到他們南方鄰近島嶼旅遊很自在。日本留下了遺產，這涉及島上原住民的種族滅絕和建設重要的基礎設施。

這個歷史並沒有阻止大多數台灣當地人張開雙臂去歡迎來自日本的遊客。

Plans To Start Diving Tours of Titanic Shipwreck

Beginning in 2018, the most infamous shipwreck of all time will be open to tourists again. Blue Marble Private, a luxury travel company based in London, is planning dives to see what remains of the Titanic. They are urging people to come see it now because a study from 2016 found that bacteria are corroding the wreckage, and over the next 15 to 20 years, the Titanic could be gone. It will cost an estimated US＄105,129 for each person who wants to see the Titanic, and the first scheduled dive is already booked solid.

The Scoop of the Century

Journalists are meant to report the news, but sometimes 噁the story of their lives is also worthy of making the headlines. One example is Clare Hollingworth, who was born in 1911. She would go on to become a legendary figure in journalism during a century noted for unparalleled change.

Hollingworth's father took his young daughter to visit major historical battlefields as a child, so her interest in war began at an early age. She started work as a secretary for the new League of Nations and was later sent to Poland by a British refugee organization. While working there, she assisted in sending several thousand refugee to safety in the United Kingdom. Hollingworth then returned to Britain herself and was hired by The Daily Telegraph, a UK newspaper. When she was sent to Poland to report on worsening situations in Europe, she spotted hundreds of tanks near the Polish border and realized that Hitler was preparing an attack.

記者的目的是要播報新聞，但有時他們的故事也值得登上頭條。其中一個例子是Clare Hollingworth，她出生於1911，她以前所未有的改變在一世紀中，接著變成新聞界傳奇的人物。

Hollingworth的爸爸在她小時候，就帶她去看歷史的主要戰場，所以她從小就對戰爭產生興趣。她開始工作在國際聯盟當秘書，後來被英國難民組織派到波蘭。在那工作時，她幫助幾千民難民安全到英國。Hollingworth也回到英國，並被英國報社《每日電報》雇用。當她到波蘭報導歐洲惡化的情形，她發現波蘭邊界附近有數百輛坦克，意識到了希特勒正準備進攻。

The Scoop of the Century

After only three days on her new job as a correspondent, she submitted a news story about the upcoming attack that later earned the nickname "the scoop of the century." Germany attacked Poland three days later, starting World ∥.

Hollingworth continued to report during the war from Europe and Egypt. Afterwards, she spent time to Algeria, where the locals were rebelling against French colonial rule. This was followed by posts in India, Vietnam, China, and other places. While in Lebanon during 1963, she discovered that the infamous double agent Kim Philby, a man wanted by the British government, had fled to Russia.

From 1973 to her death in January of 2017 at the age of 105, Hollingworth made her home in Hong Kong. Though she was only 160 cm tall, Hollingworth was nonetheless a true giant among journalists.

通訊記者這個工作才上任三天，她就交了一篇關於即將來到的戰爭，就被封為《世紀獨家新聞》。在三天後，德國襲擊了波蘭，開始了第二次世界大戰。

Hollingworth繼續報導歐洲和埃及之間的戰爭。之後，她花時間去阿爾及利亞，他們當地居民反抗法國的殖民統治。後來派到印度、越南、中國和其他地方。當她1963年到黎巴嫩，發現惡名昭彰的雙重間諜Kim Philby，英國政府通輯的一位男士，他要逃亡到俄羅斯。

他1973年到2017年一月死時，105歲逝世，她住在香港，雖然她只有160公分高，但她在記者界仍然是一個巨人。

In some culture, they are seen as clever, magical beings with the power to transform into humans. Japanese culture is particularly fond of fox, as can be seen in their literature, video games and even food. For example, inarizushi, or rice balls wrapped in fried tofu skin, is a nod to Shinto fox god in Inari. Part of their appeal is that the small, wild canines with perky ears, bushy talls, and adorable faces are beloved but difficult to approach.

In Japan, there are many ways to get close to exotic animals in controlled environments. Owl cafe, an island of bunnies, islands filled with cats, and cat cafes across the archipelago are some examples. Of tourist attractions centered around animals.

London to Taipei:Double-decker Buses Are Great!

Is there anything more iconic than the red double-decker buses of London? The first double-deckers appeared on the streets of London in the early 1900s, but they were actually manufactured in Germany.Today, modern double-decker are in use in many countries. However, nowhere are they more of a national symbol than in UK. In London, they are also the most common type of bus used for general transportation. In addition to preserving tradition, one reason double-deckers are used more than extra-long buses in the UK is that they are easier to drive on narrow streets and offer more seating capacity for passengers. The AEC Roadmaster bus had been used in London since its introduction in 1956. Nevertheless, this model is now no longer on the streets because of the difficulty these buses had in accommodate disabled passengers, and it has since been replaced by newer models.

有人任何東西比倫敦的紅色雙層巴士還更具代表性的嗎？第一個雙層巴士出現在20世紀初的倫敦街上，但是實際上是德國製造。現今，現代雙層巴士使用在很多國家。然而，他們是英國的國家象徵，沒有其他國家能比。在倫敦，它們也是一般交通運輸中最常見的公車類型。除了保留傳統外，雙層巴士在英國使用多於加長型巴士的一個理由是它可以更輕鬆開在狹窄的街道，和提供乘客更多座位和空間。ACE路霸公車從1956年引進就一直在倫敦使用。雖然，現在在街頭已經看不到這種車了，因為這些巴士難載身障乘客，而被新的車取代了。

Singapore Buses Use Improper English on Signs

In the multicultural hub of Singapore, English is one of the country's four official languages. The dialect that locals use is commonly called Singlish, which is a unique Singaporean spin on the English language. Like many other places, people in Singapore incorporate slang and improper grammar into their spoken language. The city is embracing Singlish by printing bus signs using what some would call broken English. Signs on the three-door Tower Transit buses are experimenting with the use of Singlish in the public sphere. A few examples of text printed on the signs include:"Sorry, wait a while can?", "Singapore now got 3-door bus!", "Here cannot go in!", "Here can charge phone!" and "Sorry, exit the other side can?"

在新加坡這多元文化的中心，英語是四個官方語言中的其中一個。當地人通常使用的方言叫新加坡式英語，這個語言是新加坡人的一種獨特的英文表達方式。像是很多其他的地方，新加坡人把俚語和不當的問法納入他們口語。這個城市欣然接受新加坡式英語，印出一些人稱破英語的巴士標誌。三門塔式巴士上的標誌正在公共場合嘗試使用新加坡式英語。標誌上印的幾個例子包括：「對不起，稍等一下可以嗎？」，「新加坡現在有三門巴士！」，「這裡不能進入！」，「這裡可以充手機？」「對不起，可以在另一邊下車嗎？」

Singapore Buses Use Improper English on Signs

While it adds local flavor to the experience of taking public transportation, and some people like the quirkiness of the signs, it can be confusing for visitors. According to the bus company, the use of signlish is meant to make people pay closer attention to the signage, which highlights the new USB ports and staircases. The signs are also printed with the correct English written underneath to avoid confusion.

Mr. Rey Serrano, a 34-year-old design engineer, told The Straits Times, "Tourists who do not know Singlish might misunderstand the sign and leave with a bad impression of Singaporeans' standard of English." Although some people might get the wrong idea, the signs will only be left up there for six months to see how it works out.

雖然這讓乘坐公共交通工具的經驗增加了地方風味，且有些人也喜歡這些標誌的奇特，但會使觀光客感到困惑。根據巴士公司表示，新加波式英語的使用是為了要讓人們更加關注標誌，它最突出的地方是有新的USB插口和樓梯。標誌下方還印著正確的英文書寫以避免混淆。

Rey Serrano先生34歲，是一位設計工程師，告訴海峽時報：「不知道新加坡式英語的遊客可能會誤解這個標誌，並對新加坡人的英語水平留下不好的印象離開。」雖然有些人可能會有誤解，但這些標誌只會留在巴士六個月，看看它是如何運作的。

England's Eton College

Eton College is one of the most distinguished and interesting learning institutions in the United Kingdom. Probably the most famous school of its kind in the world, Eton enrolls around 1,300 male boarding students, aged 13 to 18. Eton College is not a College in the conventional sense of the word, but rather a boy's senior high school.

Eton is renowned for its quality education, state-of-the-art learning facilities, and a wide range of extracurricular activities. Students enjoy a low pupil-teacher ratio, and each student has his own private study room and tutor. The school has a high success rate for students being accepted into leading universities in the UK like Oxford and Cambridge.The prestigious institution has been educating high achievers since its founding in 1440 by King Herry VI as a school for underprivileged boys.

伊頓公學是英國最卓越和有趣的學習機構之一，也許是世界上同類型的學校中最有名的。伊頓公學約有1300名13至18歲的寄宿男學生註冊就讀。伊頓公學不是字面意思上的學院，而是一所男子高中。

伊頓以優質的教育、最先進的學習設施與各式各樣的課外活動而聞名。學生和老師的比率低，每個學生都有自己的私人書房和導師。伊頓學校被英國牛津大學和劍橋大學錄取的成功率很高。這個有名望的學校從1440年由King Herry六世成立以來，為貧困男孩設的學校，教育出了高成就者。

England's Eton College

Eton boasts 20 British prime ministers among its alumni. Little wonder, since it is traditionally referred to as "the chief nurse of England's statesmen."

As one would expect,it is not easy to enroll in Eton College. Of course, successful applicants must demonstrate proficiency in the standard examination subjects. In addition, their intelligence and creativity are tested in some unique ways. One question asked applicants to imagine they were Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth and to make up a diary entry they think she would write expressing her feelings after receiving her husband's letter. There was also a quiz in which they had to successfully figure out word meanings in a made-up language. Perhaps most difficult was the essay assignment requiring the applicants to explain why the killing of violent protesters by police, a current news story, was both moral and the only available option.

伊頓在以有20位當過英國首相的校友為傲。難怪，因為傳統上它被稱為「英格蘭政治家的主要保母」。

正如人們預料，要進伊頓公學讀書並不容易。當然，成功的申請者必須展現在標准考試科目的專精。此外，他們的智慧和創造力會以一些獨特的方式來測試。有一個問題讓申請者想像他們是莎士比亞的麥克白夫人，並寫下他們認為她會在收到丈夫的信後怎麼來表達自己感受的日記。還有一個測驗，他們要成功地想出一種編造的語言來表達字的意思。也許最困難的是散文測驗，要求申請人解釋為什麼在最近的一個新聞故事，警察殺害暴力抗議者是道德的且也是唯一可行的選擇。

第十九週:01/01-01/05

The culture of Eton College places great emphasis on their students'extracurricular, non-academic life. There are numerous clubs, called societies, that focus on such things as economics, polices, business, finance, and investment banking. There is an aviation society for airplane hobbyists a visionary society that's all about futurology, and a society about American politics and issues, to name a few. If there is not already a society for a students particular interest, he is encouraged to start one. A teacher represents each society, but these clubs are managed by their members. Every week, the student groups host up to 20 speaking events. Speakers are often Nobel Prize winners and typically world-class experts. A hallmark of Eton's student culture is that they are given the freedom and independence to pursue individual interests in a nurturing environment where students develop a high degree of self-confidence and responsibility.

伊頓公學非常重視學生的課外、非學術的生活。那有許多稱為協會的社團，專注在如經濟、政治、商業、金融和投資銀行等事情。具少數幾個為例，有個航空協會給熱愛飛機的人；一個有遠見協會那裏都是關於未來學；和一個協會是關於美國政治和問題。如果有學生還沒有特別有興趣的協會，他會被鼓勵自己創一個。每個協會都有老師代表，但這些社團是由他們的成員來管理。每個禮拜，學生小組會主辦多達20個演講活動。演講者通常是諾貝爾獎得主和世界級的專家。伊頓公學學生的文化特徵是，他們在能發展出高度自信和責任感的培育環境裡，它們被賦予去追求個人興趣的自由和獨立。

在許多方面，Rosie 現在的行為就跟狗一樣。牠喜歡在水裡玩，旅行時成群，牠甚至很享受吃狗的食物。當她家裡有其他的貓，他比較喜歡花時間和狗狗同伴在一起。有一個心理學理論叫銘印現象，可以說明這個奇怪的行為。人們和動物會從他們的看護人上學習如何表現行為。當一個看護人做某些手勢或行動，被看護的人通常會模仿著一樣的動作，這就是為什麼小孩和他們的父母會說出一樣的語言和口音。對Rosie來說，最重要的是，他從無家可歸到能成為一個龐大又有愛的動物群裡的一員，無論她是什麼物種。
