There are two reasons people usually wear glasses. The first is that they need them to see better, either for reading things that are close or seeing things that are far away. The second reason is that they need glasses to protect their eyes from the sun. Which reason do you think this man is wearing glasses for?

Probably neither. This man's glasses are very different from normal glasses. As you can see, this man can make fire shoot out of his glasses. Sure, it looks really cool in this picture, and there probably aren't many people who can make fire come from their glasses, but can you think of a reason why wearing these glasses could be dangerous?

People's eyes are very sensitive, so you might not want to have fire so close to them. Also, if you were not very careful, you could easily burn someone else.

人們戴眼鏡通常有兩個原因。第一個原因是他們需要看得更清楚,不管是閱讀眼前之物還是看清楚遠方的東西。第二個原因是,他們需要眼鏡來保護雙眼遮陽。你認為這個人戴眼鏡的原因是什麼呢?

也許兩樣都不是。這個人的眼鏡與一般眼鏡大不相同。如你看見的,這個人可以讓眼鏡射出火苗。當然,照片中看起來酷極了,大概沒有很多人可以用眼鏡射出火焰。不過,你可以想出戴這種眼鏡為什麼很危險的理由嗎?

人的眼睛相當敏感,所以你大概不希望火焰如此靠近眼睛吧。此外,假如不小心,你可能會灼傷他人。
