華華：怎麼了？什麼事好難決定？
Huáhua: Zěnmele? Shénme shì hǎo nán juédìng?
清清：我在網上找到了一本我想看的書，有實體的書本，也有電子書，不知道該買哪種好。
Qīngqing: Wǒ zài wǎngshàng zhǎodàole yì běn wǒ xiǎng kàn de shū, yǒu shítǐ de shūběn, yěyǒu diànzǐ shū, bù zhīdào gāi mǎi něi zhǒng hǎo.
華華：當然是實體書啊！看書就是要一邊翻頁，一邊聞著書的味道，才有「書香」的感覺。
Huáhua: Dāngrán shì shítǐ shū a! Kàn shū jiùshì yào yìbiān fān yè, yìbiān wénzhù shū de wèidào, cái yǒu “shūxiāng” de gǎnjué.
清清：可是我住的地方那麼小，實體書買多了，我都快沒吃飯睡覺的地方了！
Qīngqing: Kěshì wǒ zhù de dìfāng nàme xiǎo, shítǐ shū mǎi duōle, wǒ dōu kuài méi chīfàn shuìjiào de dìfāng le!
華華：說的也是，那你只好買電子書了，剛好電子書也比較便宜，可以省錢。
Huáhua: Shuō de yěshì, nà nǐ zhǐhǎo mǎi diànzǐ shū le, gānghǎo diànzǐ shū yě bǐjiào piányí, kěyǐ shěng qián.
清清：電子書還有一個好處，只要有手機或平板電腦這些東西，想看就打開檔案，等於帶著一個圖書館到處走。
Qīngqing: Diànzǐ shū háiyǒu yí ge hǎochù, zhǐyào yǒu shǒujī huò píngbǎn diànnǎo zhèixiē dōngxi, xiǎng kàn jiù dǎkāi dǎng’àn, děngyú dàizhe yí ge túshūguǎn dàochù zǒu.
華華：話是不錯，但我總覺得還是要拿著實體書才真正有閱讀感，不過考慮空間問題，電子書比較適合你，就買了吧！
Huáhua: Huà shì búcuò, dàn wǒ zǒng juéde háishì yào názhe shítǐ shū cái zhēnzhèng yǒu yuèdú gǎn, búguò kǎolǜ kōngjiān wèntí, diànzǐ shū bǐjiào shìhé nǐ, jiù mǎile ba!
翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Sigh! It’s so hard to decide! What should I do?
Huahua: What’s going on? What’s so hard to decide?
Qingqing: I found a book online that I want to read. It’s available in both physical and e-book formats, and I can’t decide which one to buy.
Huahua: Of course, it’s the physical book! When reading, you have to flip the pages and smell the scent of the book to really enjoy that book fragrance.
Qingqing: But my place is so small. If I buy too many physical books, I won’t even have room to eat or sleep!
Huahua: That’s true. Well, I guess you’ll have to buy the e-book. Plus, e-books are usually cheaper, so you can save money.
Qingqing: Another good thing about e-books is that as long as you have a phone or tablet, you can open the file anytime you want. It’s like carrying a library everywhere.
Huahua: That’s a good point, but I still feel that holding a physical book gives you the true reading experience. However, considering space, an e-book is more suitable for you. Just go ahead and buy it!

There are no objective tools for diagnosing autism, such as blood tests or brain scans. Instead, diagnoses are made based on observations and interviews. The term “spectrum” reflects the wide range of possible manifestations. Some people with ASD might have good conversation skills, while others might
Every February, the small town of Ptuj in Slovenia comes alive with the vibrant celebration of its famous carnival. This festival, with its deep historical roots, is a cherished tradition where local residents come together to ward off the winter cold and embrace the arrival of spring. Participants dress up in furry costumes, transforming into kurenti, mythical monsters believed to drive away evil spirits and bring good fortune for the new year. Although the exact origins of the Ptuj carnival remain a mystery, it is firmly rooted in ancient Slavic and Illyrian cultures. The modern form of the carnival
