Ox people are thoughtful and reflective. You will often find them thinking over a problem before acting decisively. They like nothing better than to isolate themselves with a book to reflect on events. They are natural leaders with a propensity for high achievement. Just like real oxen, ox people are capable of bouts of aggression if they are pushed too far, so don’t cross them.
屬牛的人體貼又深思熟慮。他們通常要三思過後才會採取行動。他們最喜歡一個人沉浸書海想事情。他們天生就是做大事的料。就像牛一樣,肖牛者若被逼急了,牛脾氣可是會發作的,所以最好不要惹火他們。
FOR 2009:
Money: Don’t expect great things in 2009. If you get an investment opportunity, make sure you think it over very carefully. Remember, if something looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Love: A spell of loneliness looms, so take steps to cement your relationships while they’re still strong.
Health: Stay away from stressful activities if you want to stay healthy.
二OO九年的運勢:
財運:期望不要太高。碰到投資機會時,一定要非常謹慎地反覆思量。記住,若機會看起來好到太不真實,可能就要小心。
愛情運:今年情路孤獨,所以趁戀情堅定時採取措施,好好鞏固兩人關係吧。
健康運:高壓的事務可能會讓你的健康亮起紅燈。 » Continued on next page... / 接下頁...
The strongest earthquake to hit Taiwan in 25 years killed at least 16 people and damaged dozens of buildings, but the destruction was largely contained thanks to decades of preparedness work. Taiwan sits on the “Ring of Fire,” an arc of intense seismic activity along the Pacific Rim, and — much like neighboring Japan — has a long history of catastrophic quakes. How does April 3 compare with other recent quakes? The April 3 earthquake, which measured 7.4 on the moment magnitude scale, was felt across Taiwan. It was the most severe since a 7.6 magnitude quake in 1999 killed
A: Artificial intelligence technology has been causing controversy lately: a student was caught cheating with AI to win the grand prize in an art contest. B: That’s so absurd. Does this mean that AI paints better than humans? A: Maybe. Luckily, the student was later disqualified. B: And more absurdly, it’s becoming more and more popular to use AI technology to “resurrect” people. A: Yeah, some netizens even posted videos featuring the late singer CoCo Lee, who was “resurrected” by them with AI software. A: 人工智慧的爭議不斷,有學生違規使用AI參加美術展,甚至贏得首獎。 B: 真誇張,這是不是代表AI比人類還強大? A: 或許吧,幸好得獎資格被取消。 B: 還有更誇張的︰讓死者重現的「AI復活」技術越來越熱門。 A: 對啊,還有網友製作已故歌后李玟「復活」的影片呢! (By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times/台北時報張聖恩)
Around the time of the Dragon Boat Festival in June, the streets of Taiwan are filled with the delightful aroma of zongzi, a traditional snack made of sticky rice wrapped in leaves. The leaves are folded into a cone and then filled with sticky rice and other ingredients such as braised pork belly, peanuts and salted duck egg yolks. The filled leaves are then tightly tied with kitchen twine and ready for cooking. 每到六月端午時節,街頭巷尾就會飄出粽子的香氣。粽子是將糯米包進粽葉的傳統美食,先將粽葉折成圓錐狀塞入糯米,以及紅燒肉、花生、鹹鴨蛋黃等配料,用棉線綁緊後即可烹煮。 Dragon Boat Festival (n. phr.) 端午節 aroma
It’s another school day with the same ritual. You wake up to your smartphone’s alarm, scroll through messages during your commute, and listen to your favorite playlist with your wireless earbuds between classes. These devices, integrated smoothly into your daily routine, certainly make life more convenient. However, where do these devices end up after you replace them? In fact, the issue of electronic waste is a growing global concern. According to the United Nations, in 2019 alone, we generated an astonishing 53.6 million tons of e-waste—an average of 7.3kg per person. Projections hint at the figure soaring to 110
