You probably know how much fun it is to go to a park on a sunny day and play frisbee with your friends. But did you know that there are lots of people who are professional frisbee players?
There are a few different kinds of frisbee games. The most popular is called ultimate frisbee. In this game, there are two teams. The people on each team throw the frisbee to the other people on their team until they reach the end of the field. The players on the other team try to catch the frisbee to stop their opponents from moving down the field.
Another game is frisbee golf. Instead of having holes like regular golf, frisbee golf has baskets. Players try to toss the frisbees in the baskets, and whoever can do it in the fewest throws wins. (Marc Langer, staff writer)

你大概知道天氣好時到公園與朋友玩飛盤有多好玩,不過你知道有很多人是職業飛盤玩家嗎?
有好幾種飛盤比賽。最風行的一種叫做「飛盤爭奪賽」,由兩支隊伍相互競賽。同隊的選手要把飛盤拋給同隊對友,直到抵達球場終點。另一隊隊員要試著接住飛盤,阻止對手繼續前進。
另一種競賽是「飛盤高爾夫」,不似標準高爾夫有球洞,飛盤高爾夫有籃子。選手要努力將飛盤拋入籃中,最快將飛盤拋入籃中者就是贏家。 (翻譯:賴美君)
Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice. Japanese people have enjoyed noodles for over 1,000 years. The first noodles came from China and were introduced around 800 CE. As time passed, noodles in Japan not only became widespread but also developed some unique Japanese characteristics. The three most popular types of noodles in Japan are ramen, soba, and udon. Ramen, typically made from wheat flour, is usually thin and firm. The dough is kneaded and left to
On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once
Drive-through (or drive-thru) restaurants provide people with the immense convenience of being able to purchase and pick up meals without needing to leave their vehicles. These restaurants have been around for decades, and their success has spawned a number of equally handy services. The drive-through concept originated with the drive-in restaurant, the first of which was established in the US in 1921. Patrons would order and eat the food that was delivered to their cars by workers called “carhops.” Ten years later, a drive-through service was introduced, but it was not until 1947 that the first exclusively drive-through restaurant opened its
