翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Huahua, do you know the fairy tale The Wizard of Oz?
Huahua: Of course. It’s a very famous American literary work. It’s not only a storybook but also often adapted into movies and stage plays.
Qingqing: Yes, but have you ever seen a Chinese version of the performance?
Huahua: No, I haven’t. It’s hard to imagine Dorothy and the Scarecrow speaking Chinese.
Qingqing: You can see it this week at the Taichung National Theater. Are you interested in going with me?
Huahua: Sure. The Taichung National Theater is a cultural landmark in Taichung, and I haven’t visited it yet. It would be a great opportunity to check it out.
Qingqing: Let me quickly check if tickets are still available. If they are, I’ll book them right away.
Huahua: No problem, thank you.

Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in the depths of the Pacific Ocean: oxygen production without the involvement of living organisms. Four kilometers below the surface where sunlight cannot reach, researchers have found metallic lumps generating what they term “dark oxygen.” This form of oxygen is produced through a process independent of photosynthesis. Unlike the traditional photosynthesis process, where organisms use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create energy and oxygen, the newly discovered phenomenon operates in complete darkness. The accidental finding occurred during a study of metal-rich lumps in an abyssal plain between Hawaii and Mexico. These lumps, known as

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
