Have you ever seen a mechanic working on a car in his shop? Maybe your dad or another relative likes to work on his car. Now a Japanese company is going a step further. You can build their car yourself.
Japanese company Mitsuoka Motor will sell a kit-car they call the K4, a stylish and cute car with a 50cc engine. The car comes in five different colors.
The K4 can go up to 50km an hour, so you need a license to drive it.
To build the car you need to assemble over 500 different parts with some special tools that come with the car.
If you work fast, you can put the car together in 40 hours, but it will probably take at least three or four days.
If you want to build this car, you will have to pay Mitsuoka 756,000 yen (NT$210,000). But to car lovers, it might be worth it.

你曾經看過黑手在自己的店裡修車嗎?也許你的父親或其他親戚喜歡在自己的車子敲敲打打。但現在一家日本公司更進一步,讓你能自己拼裝他們出產的車。
日本光岡汽車將販售一台叫K4的組裝車,它時髦、可愛,且配有50cc的引擎。K4一共有五種顏色。
K4最高時速可達五十公里,所以你需要有駕照才能駕駛。
要組裝這台車,你需要用隨車附贈的特殊工具,才能拼起超過五百個零組件。
如果你速度夠快,四十個小時內就能組裝完畢,但至少會耗上三到四天。
你如果想組裝這種車輛,必須付光岡汽車七十五萬六千日幣(新台幣二十一萬元),不過對車迷來說,卻是樁划算的買賣。

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
The practice of freezing embryos as part of in vitro fertilization (IVF) was thrown into chaos in Alabama this year, when the state supreme court ruled that such embryos should be considered children, exposing clinics to wrongful death claims in the event they are destroyed in the thawing process. In 2021, more than 80 percent of US IVF procedures involved the transfer of frozen embryos, according to a recent report by the US Department of Health and Human Services. HOW IS EMBRYO FREEZING USED IN IVF? IVF uses high doses of hormones to stimulate ovaries to produce as many eggs as possible. Once
A situation puzzle is a game in which one person describes a scenario and asks the players to explain it. The situation is deliberately lacking in details, but the players may acquire more information by asking questions — however, these can only be answered with “yes” or “no.” A player wins by describing the approximate events that led up to the situation. To do so, they must use a blend of logical and lateral thinking. A famous example of this is sometimes known as “Turtle Soup.” Here’s the riddle: “A man in a restaurant orders turtle soup, tastes it
