During the summer, most children get lots of chances to go outside and play. Sunny weather is the best, but even on cloudy days playing outside can be fun. But there is one thing that can ruin a wonderful day of playing outside: rain.
Rain is bad when it keeps you from leaving your house to play. But it's even worse when you are outside and it begins to rain suddenly. If you don't have a rain hat, a rain coat or an umbrella, what can you do?
The woman in this picture got caught in a rain storm, but she thought of a way to keep her hair dry. But what about the rest of her body? It looks like she probably got very wet.
Using a plastic bag as a hat was very creative. It's a little dangerous, though, because putting plastic bags on your head is not a good idea. Can you think of other things that you could make into a rain hat if you were caught out in the rain? What about a newspaper? There are many things that might work. You would probably look a little silly, like the woman in this picture, but at least your head would stay dry!

多數孩童在夏天都有許多機會到外頭玩耍,陽光普照是最好不過了,就連陰天出遊都能充滿樂趣,不過有一件事會破壞美好的出遊日︰雨。
雨若讓你不能出門玩耍就很糟糕,但你若在外頭,天空卻突然開始下起雨來更糟糕。如果你沒有雨帽、雨衣或雨傘該怎麼辦?
照片中的婦女遇上的暴風雨,不過她想到了一個讓頭髮保持乾爽的方法,只是身體其他部位怎麼辦?看來她已被淋成落湯雞。
用塑膠袋當帽子是很有創意,不過有點危險,因為把塑膠袋套在頭上不是一個好主意。若在外頭碰到下雨,你能想到以其他物品充當雨帽嗎?用報紙呢?許多物品都能派上用場,你可能會看起來像照片中的婦女傻里傻氣的,但至少你能保持頭部乾爽。(翻譯︰鄭湘儀)

Let’s explore another delicacy primarily known to Tainan locals: floating milkfish in thick soup. Despite its peculiar name, this dish is another Tainan specialty that showcases the popularity of milkfish, which is made into fish paste and served in thick soup. Unlike the version with tutuo fish, which also adds other ingredients to its thick soup, the floating milkfish version primarily features the “floating fish” itself in its thick soup, ensuring that the fish paste remains the star of the dish. 讓我們來探索另一道台南人熟悉的美食:浮水魚羹。這道菜名奇特的美食,再再展現了台南虱目魚料理的多樣。浮水魚羹是用虱目魚漿做成的羹品,雖然和𩵚魠魚羹一樣是羹湯,但不像𩵚魠魚羹會在湯中加入其他食材,而是讓虱目魚漿成為這道料理的主角。 peculiar (adj.) 獨特的;古怪的 The belly of a milkfish is considered the most
