Portugal and Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is at the center of a sordid battle between sorcerers, with one trying to ruin him on behalf of a spurned lover and another to save him, according to reports in Portuguese newspapers.
“A rich foreign woman who was betrayed” has paid a Spaniard nicknamed Pepe to ensure Ronaldo gets his just deserts, Correio da Manha daily said.
Ronaldo, who is often photographed with a beautiful young woman on his arm, is currently carrying an ankle injury, and the sorcerer Pepe is claiming credit for it.
Pepe was pictured holding a black wax doll and a photo of the Real Madrid forward with his name scrawled across it.
The sorcerer has refused to identify the scorned woman he claims has already paid him 15,000 euros, Correio da Manha said.
“She paid me to end Cristiano Ronaldo’s career and I’m doing that,” Pepe was quoted as saying.
“It’s a job, I have nothing against him personally, but I’ll see it through,” he added.
The daily 24 Horas, which carried the same story, said another “fetisher” called Fernando Nogueira, known as the “sorcerer Fafe” was contacted by “someone very close” to Ronaldo “to counter the black magic of this so-called Spanish sorcerer.”
Fafe, while casting doubt on the powers of his rival, told the paper he had “burnt candles next to a photo of Ronaldo to put an end to what is being done, if it is true.”

葡萄牙報紙報導，葡萄牙國家隊暨西班牙皇家馬德里隊球星克里斯提諾．羅納度，正夾在兩名巫師的齷齪角力中，其中一人受雇於被他甩掉的前女友，試圖要毀掉他，另一人則要救他。
葡萄牙日報《早晨郵報》報導，「遭小羅納度背叛的一名外籍富家女」，僱用了一名綽號「沛佩」的西班牙巫師，要讓他受到應有的懲罰。
經常被拍到摟著年輕美女的小羅納度目前腳踝受傷，巫師沛佩宣稱這是他的巫術所致。
沛佩被拍到手拿一個黑色的蠟像娃娃和一張小羅納度的照片，照片上潦草地寫著這名皇馬隊前鋒的名字。
《早晨郵報》報導，這名巫師拒絕透露他雇主的姓名，他表示已經收到一萬五千歐元的委託費。
報導中引述沛佩的話說：「她付錢請我終結小羅納度的足球生涯，而我正著手進行。」
他補充說：「這是我的工作，我個人對他毫無敵意，但我會完成這項工作。」
也報導同一則新聞的《二十四小時報》指出，小羅納度的「密友」請了一名本名費南度．諾蓋亞、綽號「法菲巫師」的「魔法師」，來「對抗那位聲稱是西班牙巫師的妖術」。
法菲對他對手的法術抱持懷疑態度，他接受該報採訪時表示，他已「在一張小羅納度的照片旁放了點燃的蠟燭，藉此幫他解除咒語，如果真有此事的話」。
小羅納度表示，他希望腳踝的傷勢儘快復原。（法新社╱翻譯：袁星塵)
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the depths of the Pacific Ocean: oxygen production without the involvement of living organisms. Four kilometers below the surface where sunlight cannot reach, researchers have found metallic lumps generating what they term “dark oxygen.” This form of oxygen is produced through a process independent of photosynthesis. Unlike the traditional photosynthesis process, where organisms use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create energy and oxygen, the newly discovered phenomenon operates in complete darkness. The accidental finding occurred during a study of metal-rich lumps in an abyssal plain between Hawaii and Mexico. These lumps, known as
A: What were the highest-grossing films globally last year? B: “Inside Out 2” was the highest, followed by “Deadpool & Wolverine,” “Despicable Me 4,” “Dune: Part 2” and “Moana 2.” A: “Inside Out 2” was also the highest-grossing film in Taiwan. B: It grossed nearly US$1.7 billion worldwide, or NT$55 billion, becoming the best-selling animated film of all time. A: I can’t believe I missed the movie last year. A: 去年全球最賣座的電影有哪些？ B: 冠軍是《腦筋急轉彎2》，其後是《死侍與金鋼狼》、《神偷奶爸4》、《沙丘：第2部》、《海洋奇緣2》。 A: 《腦2》也是去年台灣票房冠軍耶。 B: 這部鉅片狂賣近17億美元，約550億台幣，成為全球影史最賣座動畫電影！ A: 真不敢相信我錯過了這部強片。 （By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times／台北時報張聖恩）
A: In addition to “Inside Out 2” at the top, what were the other highest-grossing films domestically last year? B: “Gatao: Like Father, Like Son” was the only Taiwanese movie among the top 10 blockbusters, which included five animated films. A: I’m surprised that the Taiwanese hit “The Pig, the Snake and the Pigeon” wasn’t on the chart. B: But it grossed over 500 million Chinese yuan in China, which is nearly NT$2.5 billion. The figure was five times higher than that of the best-selling film in Taiwan. A: Its success shows that Taiwanese movies should go international. A:
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Using a device to isolate a section of the seafloor, the researchers aimed to measure oxygen levels in the enclosed water. Normally, oxygen rates would decrease as marine organisms consume it, but the result was contrary to expectations. The unexpected outcome prompted the team to further investigate the phenomenon. Researchers found the lumps emitted an electric charge similar to that of a AA battery. This charge is believed to trigger a process that splits seawater into hydrogen and oxygen, accounting for the increase. Traditional perspectives propose that oxygen production began around three billion years ago through photosynthesis by ancient
