Sleeping with someone else’s spouse several times means you are party to adultery. A fine must be paid for each individual criminal act, which means the number of times that act is committed makes a difference.
A man surnamed Luo in Miaoli County was caught sleeping with the wife of a friend he regularly played cards with surnamed Chan. After a lawsuit was filed against Luo, Chan’s wife admitted having sex with Luo 30 times. The judge said that the exact time and location could only be established for seven of those encounters. Luo was sentenced to three months in jail for each sexual encounter, which was eventually commuted to seven months or a fine of NT$1,000 per day. Luo managed to get off easy and evaded criminal charges for the other 23 alleged sexual encounters.
According to the judge’s investigation, Luo became acquainted with Chan’s wife in February last year using the messaging platform WeChat — known as weixin, or micro-message in Chinese. He was aware that she was the wife of his card-playing buddy Chan. Two months later the two struck up an extramarital affair. They eventually copulated at motels in Greater Taichung’s Fongyuan District and hotels and guesthouses in Hsinchu City.

On July 23 last year Chan discovered on WeChat that his wife and Luo were staying in the same room at a guesthouse in Hsinchu City. Chan told the police, who eventually caught them in bed committing adultery. He filed adultery charges against his wife and against Luo as the other party in the adultery. Chan’s wife later admitted that she had sex with Luo 30 times. Chan decided to be lenient, forgave his wife and dropped the criminal charges against her. The public prosecutor decided not to prosecute Chan’s wife either, while Luo was charged as an adultery suspect.
Luo initially claimed that he was unaware that she was someone’s wife. During the judge’s investigation, however, he found that on the afternoon of April 10 last year, after Chan had discovered that his wife was using WeChat to contact Luo, the latter called Chan to tell him that he would never do anything to entice a married woman, so obviously Luo was well aware that they were married. Furthermore, Chan’s wife accused Luo of threatening her, saying during police questioning that he would make her break up with her husband, which also shows that he knew she was married to Chan.

與他人配偶上床幾次,都算相姦,但因一罪一罰,次數的多寡還是有差。
苗栗縣羅姓男子與詹姓牌友的妻子上床被抓姦,吃上官司,詹妻坦承與羅嘿咻過三十次,但法官卻認定僅其中七次有具體時間、地點才算數,各判刑三月,應執行有期徒刑七月,如易科罰金,以一千元折算一日,羅男免掉二十三次的刑責,撿到了便宜。
法官調查,去年二月間,羅男透過微信(WeChat)交友軟體結識詹妻,明知她是詹姓牌友的妻子,兩個月後竟與詹妻發生婚外情,先後在台中豐原的汽車旅館與新竹市的飯店、賓館發生性行為。
去年七月二十三日,詹男透過徵信社發現妻子與羅男在新竹市的賓館同房,報警捉姦在床,控告妻子通姦、羅男相姦。詹妻承認與羅男上床過三十次,詹男坦白從寬,選擇原諒,撤回對她的告訴,獲檢方不起訴,羅男則被依相姦罪嫌起訴。
羅男一度辯稱,不知詹妻是有夫之婦,但法官調查發現,去年四月十日下午,詹男發現妻子用微信跟羅男聯絡後,當時羅男還打電話告訴他不會做出誘拐良家婦女的事,顯然很明確知道他們是夫妻關係。此外,詹妻曾指控羅男恐嚇,羅男在警詢時曾供稱「我也會讓她跟她老公分開」,可見知道詹妻是人家的老婆。

South Korea’s famous kimchi is falling victim to climate change, with scientists, farmers and manufacturers saying the quality and quantity of the napa cabbage that is pickled to make the ubiquitous dish is suffering due to rising temperatures. Napa cabbage thrives in cooler climates, and is usually planted in mountainous regions where temperatures during the key growing summer season once rarely rose above 25 degrees Celsius. Studies show that warmer weather brought about by climate change is now threatening these crops, so much so that South Korea might not be able to grow napa cabbage one day due to the intensifying heat. “We
It’s widely recognized that there are far more right-handed people than left-handed people in the world. Being right-handed simply means preferring to use one’s right hand for tasks that involve only one hand, such as writing and eating. But have you ever wondered about the possible reasons behind the global dominance of the right hand over the left? As with many complex biological questions, multiple factors appear to be at play. First, one reason seems to be genetics. __1__ Therefore, the global dominance of right-handedness is something that has been passed down through many generations of humans. Next,
On blazing hot summer days, fresh ingredients and cool refreshments straight from a refrigerator feel like nothing short of a miracle. However, chilled foods didn’t begin with modern refrigerators. In fact, the origin of refrigeration precedes the invention of this now-indispensable appliance by centuries. Initially, the quest for refrigeration was motivated more by the desire to cool beverages than to preserve food. The ancient Greeks and Romans, for instance, used snow stored in insulated pits to chill wine. Around the fourth century BC, the Persians made a significant stride in refrigeration techniques when they devised the yakhchal. Fashioned from

Historically, items that require physical manipulation have been designed for right-handed use. For example, tools like scissors and musical instruments are often constructed with right-handers in mind, making it difficult for left-handers to use them. __4__ While these factors offer some explanation, they remain speculative. The precise reasons for the global prevalence of right-handed people continue to be debated. Nevertheless, left-handedness will remain a phenomenon of great curiosity among scientists and researchers for many years to come. 最後,文化影響也在人們偏好哪一隻手上扮演一角。歷史上,需要用到肢體操作的物品都被設計來供右手使用。舉例來說,像是剪刀、樂器等工具常常就是考慮到右撇子而打造的,造成左撇子難以使用這些工具。因此,許多天生就是左撇子的人可能就必須透過學習使用右手來適應。 雖然這些因素都提供了一些解釋,但它們仍是推測而已。全球右撇子如此普及,確切的原因仍持續被爭論著。不過,在未來的許多年裡,左撇子依然會是科學家和研究人員相當好奇的一個現象。 What Did You Learn?
