Bikini-clad tourists beware. The Caribbean island of Grenada says it has begun enforcing a law banning bathing suits away from the beach. The law also prohibits saggy pants that reveal the underwear.
Police commissioner James Clarkson says people who are found wearing swimming costumes away from the beach are usually just ordered to cover up. But the law also allows for a US$270 (NT$8,990) fine or six months in jail.
At least a few locals have refused to pay the fines.

Clarkson said that cruise ships usually tell passengers what they are allowed to wear on the beach, but “from time to time, there are one or two who don’t follow the rules.”
He said a few months ago police ordered several tourists wearing swimwear at a fort to return to their cruise ship and put on some clothes.

穿著比基尼的遊客注意了!加勒比海島國格瑞那達已開始實施一項新法:海灘外禁止穿著清涼泳裝。這項新法也禁止會露出內褲的垮褲。
警察局長詹姆士.克拉森說,警方通常只是要求在海灘外穿著泳衣的民眾把衣服穿上。但這項新法上路後,違法民眾還會被處以兩百七十美元(新台幣八千九百九十元)的罰鍰或拘役六個月。
至少已有幾名當地民眾拒絕繳納罰金。
克拉森說,遊輪業者通常會告知乘客沙灘上的穿著規定,但「三不五時總會出現一、兩個不遵守規定的人」。

The Lord returned home after a long day of hunting, a deer on his horse and a bow on his back. His apprentice had stayed behind, feeling unwell. He rode slowly through the forest, closed his eyes, and felt the warm sunlight on his face. He opened his eyes to a full moon rising. Time to make offerings and pray for peace, good weather, a bountiful harvest. And a child with his beloved wife. He smiled. As he approached, the house was quiet. Too quiet. He dismounted in the empty courtyard. “Feng Meng?” he called. Silence. He went to his apprentice’s
Strawberries are one of the fruits that signal the start of winter. Although “berry” is included in the name, a strawberry isn’t actually a berry in the __1__ sense of the word. True berries, such as blueberries and cranberries, have seeds inside the fleshy part of the fruits. If you look at a strawberry, you’ll see what seem to be seeds on the outside of the fruit. This __2__ makes strawberries fall into a category known as an aggregate fruit. It’s easy to see where the __3__ comes from. In everyday language, almost any small, juicy, edible fruit is called
Straws are one of the most basic tools that humans have been using for thousands of years to help quench our thirst. They are so common that people rarely think of how they work. Most assume that straws work by pulling liquid through them into the mouth. However, the science behind straws is a little more complicated. To understand how straws function, you have to first grasp the concept of air pressure, or atmospheric pressure. Air pressure is the force exerted by the weight of the air surrounding us, though we can neither see nor feel it. It presses
You can’t help but notice the woman’s blonde hair, blue eyes, and bizarre outfit. She’s in a white dress that reaches below the knee and a Prussian blue jacket highlighted by a brooch on a ribbon at the collar. Together with her leather boots and the brown suitcase in hand, her overall look gives her an air of mystery. This distinctive appearance isn’t merely for style; it’s her way of embracing cosplay. Combining the words “costume” and “play,” cosplay is an art form in which participants dress up as specific characters, usually at anime conventions. It not only involves
