When something is very beautiful, or has a special and interesting design, people sometimes say that it “looks good enough to eat.” The phrase can be used to talk about actual food, but it is now often used to describe things that are not supposed to be eaten, such as people. For example, adults might see a little girl in a really cute princess costume and say, “You are so pretty in that outfit; you look good enough to eat!”
Valentyn Shtefano, a baker in the Ukraine, has taken this saying to a new level. This is a picture of Shtefano with his bride, Viktoriya. She is wearing a very special wedding dress, which he baked for her out of flour, sugar, eggs and caramel. The dress is made out of 1,500 cream puffs and took the baker about two months to complete. It looks good enough to eat -- and the best part is, you really could eat it! (Emily Shih, Staff Writer)
某樣東西很漂亮、或設計特殊有趣時，有時人們可以稱之為「looks good enough to eat」。這個片語可以用來講述真的食物，不過現在通常被用來描述像人這類不能吃的東西。例如，大人看到小女孩穿上可愛的公主裝時，可以說︰「你穿那件衣服好漂亮，秀色可餐！」

烏克蘭的麵包師傅瓦倫汀．席方諾賦予這個諺語新的意義。這張照片是他與自己的新娘子維多莉亞的照片。她穿著獨樹一幟的結婚禮服，是席方諾用麵粉、糖、雞蛋與焦糖所烤出來的。這件禮服是由一千五百個奶油泡芙製成，讓這位麵包師傅花了約兩個月才完成。它看起很美，讓人很想吃一口，最棒的是，你真的可以吃！

A: Hard rock band Guns N’ Roses is touring Taiwan tomorrow. What about pop diva Lady Gaga? B: Unfortunately, Singapore has once again exclusively secured Gaga’s concerts in Asia, just like Taylor Swift’s exclusive Asian shows last year. A: The Singaporean government reportedly paid up to US$2.2 million to secure Swift’s shows. B: And the shows did boost its economy and tourism. A: But I’m angry about this approach, so I’m not going to Gaga’s shows this time. A: 硬式搖滾天團槍與玫瑰明天即將來台，流行天后女神卡卡呢？ B: 真可惜，新加坡再度取得卡卡亞洲巡演的獨家主辦權，就像去年泰勒絲的亞洲獨家演出一樣。 A: 據報導新加坡政府付出高達220萬美元，取得泰勒絲的亞洲獨家主辦權。 B: 而她的秀也的確提振了該國的經濟和旅遊業。 A: 但我對此還是很不爽，所以不去新加坡看卡卡了！ （By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times／台北時報張迪）
A: Hard rock band Guns N’ Roses and pop diva Lady Gaga are finally touring Asia again. B: Are they also coming to Taiwan? A: The band will stage a show at the Taoyuan Sunlight Arena on Saturday.

A: Let’s go celebrate the 40th anniversary of its release. A: 硬式搖滾天團槍與玫瑰、女神卡卡終於再度展開亞洲巡演了。 B: 他們也會來台巡演嗎？ A: 槍與玫瑰本週六即將在桃園陽光劇場開唱唷。 B: 哇這將是該團第三次來台演出，我超愛他們1992年強力情歌《November Rain》，全長近9分鐘還曾是告示牌排行榜最長神曲。 A: 那我們一起去慶祝該團出道40週年吧！ （By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times／台北時報張迪）
Every May 1, Hawaii comes alive with Lei Day, a festival celebrating the rich culture and spirit of the islands. Initiated in 1927 by the poet Don Blanding, Lei Day began as a tribute to the Hawaiian custom of making and wearing leis. The idea was quickly adopted and officially recognized as a holiday in 1929, and leis have since become a symbol of local pride and cultural preservation. In Hawaiian culture, leis are more than decorative garlands made from flowers, shells or feathers. For Hawaiians, giving a lei is as natural as saying “aloha.” It shows love and
