翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Huahua, may I borrow your computer for a bit?
Huahua: What’s wrong? What happened to yours?
Qingqing: I don’t know what’s going on. It keeps crashing suddenly. My laptop and phone are the same. It’s so annoying.
Huahua: Ah, it must be because of “Mercury retrograde.” It just started this year, and you’re already feeling the effects.
Qingqing: Mercury retrograde? You actually believe that?
Huahua: So many Taiwanese people believe in astrology. What’s the big deal?
Qingqing: I think all my devices are just getting old. It’s time to replace them. It has nothing to do with Mercury retrograde.
Huahua: Oh, and they say Mercury retrograde affects relationships, too. If you don’t believe it, I won’t say anything. I’m going to the restroom. Go ahead and use my computer.

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
Britain’s National Gallery announced on Sept. 9 that it will use a whopping ￡375m (US$510m) in donations to open a new wing that, for the first time, will include modern art. Founded in 1824, the gallery has amassed a centuries-spanning collection of Western paintings by artists from Leonardo da Vinci to J.M.W Turner and Vincent van Gogh — but almost nothing created after the year 1900. The modern era has been left to other galleries, including London’s Tate Modern. That will change when the gallery opens a new wing to be constructed on land beside its Trafalgar Square site that is currently
Firefighters might face an increased risk of developing “glioma,” a type of brain cancer, due to certain chemicals encountered on the job. A recent study analyzed glioma cases and found clear connections between the genetic patterns of affected firefighters and their exposure to these harmful substances. The study found that firefighters exhibited significantly higher levels of specific mutational signatures in their glioma cells compared to individuals in other occupations. These signatures — unique patterns of genetic changes in DNA — help scientists trace the source of mutations. Earlier research has associated these mutations with certain chemicals found in fire
