Not eggactly what Mark had in mind 馬克心不在焉
When she walked into Mark's new place one day, Kathleen asked Mark, “How do you like the new apartment?”
“It's great. I have a big kitchen and room for another couch,” Mark replied as he washed his dishes. “Plus the green walls are soothing.”
“Yeah, it makes a nice atmosphere,” Kathleen said. “So what do you want to do today?”
“Well, to tell you the truth, I was thinking we could take a short trip to the traditional market to buy some food,” Mark told Kathleen as he dried his hands. “What do you think?”
“Let's go!” Kathleen was already halfway out the door.
As they walked through the market, Kathleen and Mark saw all kinds of wonderful food: giant carrots, tender corn, white onions and spicy peppers. “I love shopping here!” Mark exclaimed. “The food is cheap and fresh.”
“I enjoy it too,” Kathleen said as she examined some ginger.
When they got to the farmer selling chickens and eggs, Mark examined them. “How much for the eggs?” he asked as he picked out the best ones.
Before the boss could answer, Mark knocked the box of eggs onto the floor, breaking some and making the rest roll around ....

「棒極了！我有大廚房，也有多放一張沙發的空間，」馬克一邊洗碗一邊回答說︰「此外，綠色的牆面很舒服。」
「是啊，它讓氣氛更好了，」凱薩琳說︰「你今天想做什麼？」
「老實說，我想我們可以就近到傳統市場買些食物，」馬克一邊把手擦乾，一邊對凱薩琳說︰「你覺得呢？」
凱薩琳已經快走出門外了︰「我們走吧！」
馬克和凱薩琳逛市場時，看到了各種琳瑯滿目的美味食物︰大紅蘿蔔、軟玉米、白洋蔥與辛辣椒。「我好愛在這裡購物！」馬克大叫︰「食物又便宜又新鮮。」
凱薩琳一邊檢視著生薑，一邊說︰「我也喜歡。」
當他們走到賣雞與雞蛋的農人時，馬克檢視了一下，挑選了最漂亮的幾顆雞蛋說︰「這些雞蛋怎麼賣？」
老闆還沒來得及回答，馬克就把整盒雞蛋打翻到地上，有些蛋破了，有些則在地上滾動‥‥‥ （翻譯︰賴美君）
Computex, Asia’s biggest electronics conference, kicked off Monday in Taipei, and as in years past drew industry chieftains from Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang and Qualcomm Inc.’s Cristiano Amon to Young Liu of Foxconn, which makes the bulk of the world’s iPhones and Nvidia servers. But while last year’s event was a celebration of the post-ChatGPT AI boom, executives this time are likely grappling with the uncertainty of the Trump administration’s effort to reshape the global trade order — disrupting a decades-old model for tech manufacturing. This year’s exhibition will of course feature the hardware required to bring artificial intelligence to life.
For many people, allergies are an all-too-familiar annoyance. The constant sneezing, itching, and watery eyes are just a few clear signs of allergies, which is a surprisingly common condition affecting millions worldwide. But what exactly triggers these reactions, and how can we cope with them? Allergies arise from a misunderstanding between our immune system and seemingly harmless substances. Under normal circumstances, the immune system acts as our body’s personal bodyguard, diligently identifying and eliminating threats like viruses and bacteria. However, in individuals with allergies, the immune system mistakenly identifies certain substances, called allergens, as invaders. This triggers a reaction, leading to
