Puppet on a string
懸絲木偶

This isn't just any puppet. Most puppets are small, but this is the biggest puppet in the world. It is almost three meters tall and weighs 125kg.

There are lots of different kinds of puppets. Lots of strings are attached to this puppet, and people move it by pulling on the strings. There is another kind of puppet that you put over your hand and control by moving your fingers.

You need to be very skilled to control a puppet well. Some people have a special skill that lets them talk without moving their mouth. When one of these people controls a puppet, that person talks without moving his or her mouth. That way, it looks like the puppet is talking, and not the person controling it.

You can call a person a puppet too. A puppet is a person who is controlled by someone else, just as a puppet is controlled by the person pulling the strings.　 (Taipei Times)

這不只是木偶而已。大多數的木偶都是小型的，不過這個木偶是全世界最大的木偶，高約三公尺，重達一百二十五公斤。

有許多各式各樣的木偶。這個木偶身上繫上了許多條線，人們可以拉動這些線來讓木偶移動。還有另外一種木偶，你可以把它套在手上，藉由移動手指來操控。

你需要技巧高超才能好好操縱木偶。有些人有特別的技能，不必動嘴就可以說話。當這樣的人操縱木偶時，他沒有動嘴就可以說話。這樣一來，看起來就好像是木偶自己在說話，而非受人操縱。

你也可以稱某人為「puppet」（傀儡），意指這個人受到他人控制，就如木偶被拉扯線條的人控制一樣。
