華華：昨天不是愚人節嗎？我弟弟不知道從哪裡弄來了一些作弄人的糖果，騙我說要請我吃吃看，結果不但把嘴都染黑了，還害我過敏，整個腫起來，晚上我去醫院拿了藥，今天還比昨天好一點了。

翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Hey? Huahua! What happened to your mouth?
Huahua: Don’t bring it up! It’s all because of my younger brother! It’s so infuriating!
Qingqing: What happened? It’s so swollen. Did you see a doctor?
Huahua: Wasn’t yesterday April Fools’ Day? My brother somehow got hold of some prank candies and tricked me into trying them, saying he wanted to treat me. As a result, not only did my mouth turn black, but it also caused an allergic reaction, swelling up. I went to the hospital last night and got some medicine. Today is a bit better than yesterday.
Qingqing: Oh! April Fools’ Day pranks are okay, but it’s not good if they go too far.
Huahua: The worst part is those who choose April Fools’ Day to confess their feelings. It’s unclear whether it’s true or false, and it’s super annoying.
Qingqing: Hahaha! Congratulations! Someone confessed to you! Even if it’s a prank, you should be happy.
Huahua: Come on! Do I really have no one interested in me? Remember that!

Historians are rethinking the way the Holocaust is being presented in museums as the world marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the last Nazi concentration camps this month. Shocking images of the mass killings of Jews were “used massively at the end of World War II to show the violence of the Nazis,” historian Tal Bruttmann, a specialist on the Holocaust, told AFP. But in doing so “we kind of lost sight of the fact that is not normal to show” such graphic scenes of mass murder, of people being humiliated and dehumanized, he said. Up to this
When people listen to music today, they typically use streaming services like YouTube or Spotify. However, traditional formats like vinyl records have regained popularity in recent times. Vinyl records are circular discs that store music in grooves on their surfaces and are played on a turntable. As the turntable’s needle runs along these grooves, it picks up vibrations and translates them into sound. The history of vinyl records dates back to the late 1800s, but material and technological challenges delayed mass production until the 1950s. Despite early versions having short playtimes and poor sound quality, vinyl records introduced a new era
