翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: That looks nice! Let’s go with that!
Huahua: You’ve been at it for quite a while. What are you busy with?
Qingqing: My cousins graduated, and they both did very well. One of my cousins is in graduate school, and the other is in university. They both happen to be graduates of my alma mater. Many family members went to their graduation ceremonies, so I’m making a video with the photos from that day to share with everyone.
Huahua: Wow! You’re all alumni! Congratulations to them! But what are their plans after graduation?
Qingqing: My cousin found a job in the Hsinchu Science Park, and my uncle is very happy. The other cousin applied to a university in the United States for further studies, planning to study abroad. Although my aunt is reluctant to let her go, she is also supportive of her going out and exploring.
Huahua: Sounds great, unlike some people who end up unemployed after graduation, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
Qingqing: If they can’t find a suitable job right away, they can always learn a new skill. After all, being young means having plenty of opportunities.
Huahua: Exactly! Nowadays, people like to have multiple skills, right? The more skills you have, the more paths you have for development. With skills and perseverance, they are sure to find a good job.

Rarely does Nature present such a striking contradiction as the one found in Lencois Maranhenses National Park. Located along Brazil’s northeastern coast, the park unveils breathtaking scenery, where rippling sands meet crystal-clear lagoons. Under the sun’s golden glow, the waters glitter in shades of turquoise and emerald. So surreal is this spectacle that visitors might wonder if they’re gazing at a digitally modified photo rather than a living landscape. Were it not for the unique geographical and climatic conditions, such a marvel would not exist. Unlike typical deserts, Lencois Maranhenses receives a substantial amount of rainfall, particularly during the rainy season

An automated human washing machine was one of the highlights at the Osaka Kansai Expo, giving visitors a glimpse into the future of personal hygiene technology. As part of the event, 1,000 randomly selected visitors were given the chance to try out this cleansing system. The machine operates as a capsule-like chamber where warm water filled with microscopic bubbles gently washes away dirt. The 15-minute process also includes a drying phase, removing the need for users to dry themselves manually. Equipped with advanced sensors, the device monitors the user’s biological data, such as their pulse, to adjust water temperature and other settings
