A tourist swimming in a river in Australia has had a shock after a crocodile leapt onto him, slapping him in the face in the process.
The reptile had been sunning itself on a rock in a national park in the Northern Territory but then seemed to want to cool off.
The animal launched itself directly at Swedish tourist Felix Andersson, hitting him in the face before landing in the water.

Andersson and his friend Ulrik Bergsland quickly swam away laughing and were not hurt in the incident.
In fact the pair were so unfazed they carried on swimming in the lagoon.

一名泳客在澳洲一條河裡游泳時飽受驚嚇,因為一尾鱷魚不但撲向他,過程中還賞了他一耳光。
這尾爬蟲類動物原本在澳洲北部的一座國家公園的一塊大石頭上做日光浴,但稍後看似想清涼一下。
這尾動物直接撲向瑞典遊客菲力克斯.安德森,落水前打了他的臉。
安德森與友人烏爾瑞克.伯格史蘭德邊笑邊趕快游開,而且沒有在此事中受傷。
事實上,這兩人並不以為意,還繼續在此一潟湖裡游泳。

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
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
Continued from yesterday(延續自昨日) https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang As with many aspects of Japanese culture, there is etiquette to follow when you enjoy noodles. To fully experience noodles like a local on your next visit to Japan, consider these simple guidelines. First, be careful where you put your chopsticks. Don’t leave them sticking up in the broth or set them at the side of the bowl. When you have finished eating or if you’re taking a break, place them on the chopstick rest next to the bowl. Also, it is impolite to wave chopsticks around or bring them above mouth-level. Second, don’t take too
