Rabbit people are known for their sensitivity and introspection, and it’s believed that rabbits make ideal diplomats due to their levelheaded approach to situations. Because they like nothing better than wallowing in culture, you can often find rabbit people at the theater or the opera. They also make great academics due to their love of all things intellectual. Sometimes rabbit people tend to be too risk-averse, causing them to miss out on some good opportunities.
屬兔的人天生敏感、容易自省。面對事情時能冷靜處理,因此被公認為具備理想的外交官特質。他們最喜歡浸濡於文化饗宴中,所以常可在戲院或歌劇院見到他們的身影。熱愛各種知識,因此學業表現也相當優異。肖兔者有時太過保守不愛冒險,因而錯失了一些不錯的機會。
FOR 2009:
Money: Trust your instincts and avoid risk this year, and you should manage to maintain the status quo.
Love: The year of the ox brings quarrels for married rabbit people, while a separation could be on the cards for those in new relationships.
Health: There could be trouble ahead in 2009
so take extra care on all health matters.
二OO九年的運勢:
財運:相信你的直覺。避免風險性的投資,
如此你的財務應能維持現狀。
愛情運:已婚的兔子容易和另一半
發生爭執,才發展新關係者可能
面臨分手的情況。
健康運:病痛可能上身,
要特別注意健康。
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
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
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
