翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: My brother just messaged me saying he’s going to Dajia Riverside Park in Taipei this weekend to attend the S2O Taiwan Songkran Music Festival. He and his friends bought their tickets a while ago but didn’t tell me. How despicable of him!
Huahua: He managed to get tickets? That event is super popular among young people. It’s impressive he got them.
Qingqing: I’m still young too! This event, which combines Thailand’s Songkran festival with a major music party, is definitely worth attending.
Huahua: Your brother wasn’t very considerate not inviting you. But you can’t entirely blame him if you didn’t keep an eye on the event yourself.
Qingqing: True. There are a lot of international stars performing this year, from the US, Europe, South Korea, and even Taiwan. The atmosphere will be incredible.
Huahua: Just wait until your brother comes back and brags about it. Don’t be too jealous. It’s your fault for not paying attention.
Qingqing: I won’t stoop to his level. Besides, I don’t want to get all wet. I just hope he doesn’t catch a cold. Hmph.
Huahua: You’re unbelievable! So stubborn. Alright, calm down. Let’s go get something to eat.

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. This training method cleverly combined climbing, running, and swimming with artificial barriers to mimic nature. Later, David Belle
Street lights are often taken for granted until a power outage plunges the world into darkness. When that happens, the value of these lighting installations becomes evident as the world turns into a more dangerous place for pedestrians and motorists alike. The Chinese could claim to be the first to have constructed a crude type of street light. Around 500 BC, residents of Beijing employed a type of street lamp that used hollow bamboo pipes and natural gas vents to create burning torches. Later, ancient Romans adopted lamps fueled by vegetable oil, which relied on slaves to light and
