華華：是嗎？怎麼說？
Huáhua: Shìma? Zěnme shuō?
清清：北部相對來說比較冷，氣溫可能會下降到十度左右，甚至更低，所以厚一點的衣服是必需的。南部通常都在二十度以上，穿件薄外套就夠了

清清：不是，還有北部的冬天愛下雨，尤其是在山區，南部的冬季比較乾燥。

翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Sigh! The winter in northern Taiwan is really different from the south!
Huahua: Is it? How so?
Qingqing: The north is relatively colder. The temperature can drop to around 10 degrees Celsius or even lower, so wearing thicker clothing is necessary. The south usually stays above 20 degrees, and a light jacket is enough.
Huahua: Is the temperature the only difference?
Qingqing: No, on top of that, it tends to rain in the winter in the north, especially in the mountainous areas, while the southern winter is comparatively dry.
Huahua: I see. I didn’t realize that Taiwan, despite being small, has such distinct weather in the north and south!
Qingqing: That’s right. So, I suggest you try living in both regions to experience the different feelings!
Huahua: I’ll consider that when I change jobs next time!

Known as “digital nomads,” these individuals are transforming the city’s environment and sparking debates around urban growth and the welfare of local communities. By definition, digital nomads are professionals who exploit advanced technology to facilitate remote work while embracing a nomadic lifestyle — all without disrupting their careers.

It’s likely that you may know someone who has had their appendix removed, or at least you’ve heard of the operation. An appendectomy is typically performed when the appendix, a small pouch next to the intestines, becomes inflamed or infected, leading to severe pain and potential complications if left untreated. Fortunately, the procedure is very safe today, and patients can go on to live normal lives without their appendix. Yet, it still begs the question of how humans can continue living without an organ. The human body is full of various parts that scientists still don’t completely understand, and
