Earlier this month a 60-year-old man claimed to have seen two great white sharks off the island where the movie Jaws was filmed. Investigators said he lied, and the man was charged with disorderly conduct.
Edgartown Police Chief Paul Condlin said Michael Lopenzo warned people to get out of the water at a beach on Martha’s Vineyard. Lopenzo claimed he had seen two seven-meter long sharks while he was working on a fishing boat.
Officials closed the beach, but Condlin said investigators later determined Lopenzo was lying.

When asked by detectives whose boat he was working on, Lopenzo gave the name of a nonexistent boat and owner.
A second beach was closed on the island after lifeguards said they might have seen a great white shark.
The beaches were reopened a day later.
In 1974, Steven Spielberg chose Martha’s Vineyard for filming the movie Jaws. The film shows a series of deadly great white attacks.
Shark attacks are very rare in waters off New England, but great whites have occasionally been seen in the region. (STAFF WRITER, WITH AP)
本月稍早,一位六十歲的男子宣稱他在電影《大白鯊》拍攝的小島海域看見兩尾大白鯊。調查員表示這名男子撒謊,並以妨礙治安的罪名起訴他。
埃德加鎮的警長保羅.康德林說,麥克.羅潘佐在馬莎葡萄園島的一處海灘提醒民眾趕緊上岸;羅潘佐聲稱他駕船出海捕魚時,親眼看到兩尾七公尺長的鯊魚。
警方於是封鎖該海灘,但康德林表示,調查員稍後就判定是羅潘佐說謊。
當警方探員詢問羅潘佐當時是在誰的船上捕魚時,他給了捏造的船名和船東姓名。
後來有救生員表示他們好像看到一尾大白鯊後,警方又封鎖了島上第二座海灘。
這兩處海灘都在一天後重新開放。
一九七四年,史帝芬.史匹柏選擇在馬莎葡萄園島拍攝電影《大白鯊》,電影中描述一連串大白鯊致命攻擊事件。
美國新英格蘭地區外海鮮少發生鯊魚攻擊事件,但該區偶爾會有大白鯊出沒。

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
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
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
