華華：你說的帕運，是不是殘障奧運啊？
Huáhua: Nǐ shuō de Pàyùn, shì búshì Cánzhàng Àoyùn a?
清清：是的，我個人覺得，那些運動員身體雖然都有不方便的地方，但運動精神和能力都值得我們敬佩學習，所以比較喜歡用翻譯帕拉林匹克的名字，來叫它帕運。

Qingqing: The Olympics just concluded, and now the Paralympics are about to start. It’s a great time for sports fans!
Huahua: When you say the Paralympics, do you mean the games for athletes with disabilities?
Qingqing: Yes, I personally feel that although these athletes have physical limitations, their sportsmanship and abilities are truly admirable and something we can all learn from. That’s why I prefer to call it the Paralympics.
Huahua: I agree. Every time I see those athletes striving to earn honor for their country and themselves, I am deeply moved. I don’t think I could do that.
Qingqing: This time round, the Paralympics will include 22 sports, with athletes from 185 countries participating. It’s going to be quite exciting!
Huahua: When is the opening ceremony?
Qingqing: It will be at 1:30am Taiwan time on Aug. 29, held at the Place de la Concorde in Paris. This is the first time in Paralympic history that the opening ceremony will be held in an outdoor venue.
Huahua: I wouldn’t miss this for the world. I’ll get ready with fried chicken and bubble tea. Staying up late to watch the broadcast is going to be a real treat!

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.
