翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Hey! Huahua, are you home yet? Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, and everyone is heading home for the Chinese New Year. The high-speed train must be crowded, right?
Huahua: Qingqing, I’m home. I couldn’t book a ticket, so I stood all the way. The high-speed train station was packed!
Qingqing: That sucks! But being able to get together with family, gather around a hot pot and spend New Year’s Eve together is well worth it!
Huahua: What about you? Have you arrived home? How do you plan to spend tomorrow night?
Qingqing: I can only go back tomorrow morning. After the New Year’s Eve dinner, I’ll play mahjong and stay up late with my family, waiting for my parents to give me my lucky money! Hahaha!
Huahua: What? Are you still getting red envelopes from your parents? You’re working now; you should be giving them instead!
Qingqing: I will give them! But I’m not married yet, so I’m still considered a child and can receive red envelopes! The amount doesn’t matter; it’s just for good luck! Wishing you prosperity and a happy New Year!
Huahua: All right, all right! Thanks for not saying, “Wishing you prosperity, give me a red envelope!” See you next year!

A Cameroon-flagged cargo vessel “Shunxin-39” was believed to have caused damage to an undersea cable of Taiwan telecoms operator Chunghwa Telecom on the morning of Jan. 3. It was suspected that the Chinese merchant ship, which was registered with the nationality of another country, deliberately cut off the cable by dragging the anchor over it. While the incident is still under investigation, China has a long history of using maritime tactics to sabotage Taiwan’s infrastructure. In February last year, two cables linking Taiwan to its outlying Matsu Islands were damaged within days of each other by a Chinese fishing
Have you ever dreamed of using an entire city as your training ground, effortlessly moving across walls, buildings, stairs, and obstacles? This is not just a fantasy from the movies. In cities around the world, a group of enthusiasts practice this seemingly impossible sport — “parkour.” The origins of parkour can be traced back to 20th-century France. A military officer named Georges-Hebert witnessed the incredible physical abilities of local residents in Africa, which inspired him to create the Methode Naturelle, or natural method.
