翻譯 Translation
Xiaoshi: Mark, have you heard of Feng Shui?
Mark: Yes, I have. It’s something Taiwanese pay attention to when buying a house, right?
Xiaoshi: Yes, Taiwanese believe that the living environment can affect a person’s personality and health.
Mark: I heard from other Taiwanese friends that living near a
hospital makes it easy to get sick, is that true?
Xiaoshi: Yes, that’s right. Also, there should be sufficient lighting in the living room at home. If a room is too dark, it may affect your luck.
Mark: I agree with that. If sunlight can’t come into the living room, it can affect one’s mood.
Xiaoshi: Some people also say that you shouldn’t place knives or swords at home because they are considered weapons.
Mark: Wow! It seems like there are many things to pay attention to in Feng Shui.
Xiaoshi: Yes, you’re right. If I get the chance, I would like to study it thoroughly.

The Dutch introduced the Indian mango (Mangifera indica) to Taiwan in the 17th century. It is a green-skinned mango with thick fibers that get stuck in the teeth, but it boasts a rich aroma and a unique taste. In 1954, Taiwan’s Council of Agriculture introduced several mango cultivars from Florida, USA, including the Irwin, Haden, and Keitt varieties. After seven years of testing and domestication, the Irwin variety was chosen for promotion. Years later, the sample saplings started to bear fruit. These mangoes were large, with thin, vibrant red peels and golden pulp. The Irwin mangoes were mouth-wateringly sweet and
As the priest Antonius Hambroek stood in the dim chamber of Fort Zeelandia, his eldest daughter clung to him, her voice trembling. “Father, don’t go. They’ll kill you, and what will become of Mother and my sisters?” Outside, the sounds of Koxinga’s relentless canon siege boomed through the fortress. The defenders were on the brink of collapse. Starvation gnawed at their resolve, and the air carried the acrid stench of spent gunpowder and rotting flesh. Dutch reinforcements from Batavia had failed to arrive, leaving the garrison isolated and hopeless. Hambroek’s face was calm, though sorrow weighed heavily on his

As we bundle up in thick coats to stay warm during the winter, there is a population that has already adapted to extremely low temperatures. These people live in the remote city of Yakutsk, the coldest city on Earth. Yakutsk is situated in the heart of Siberia, which is the capital of the Sakha Republic in Russia. This historic mining city began to flourish in the 19th century following the discovery of gold deposits. Given its construction on permafrost, the average temperature in the city remains below 0°C for over half the year, with winter temperatures dropping to an astonishing -50°C.
