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 ....

某一天，當凱薩琳走進馬克的新家時，她問馬克說︰「你喜歡你的新公寓嗎？」
「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）

The asphalt was warm against his knees. Around him, dozens of people lay flat in the narrow street outside Jenn Lann Temple in Dajia. Some pressed their hands together in prayer.

Inside the main hall, people held incense sticks, bowed three times,

Visitors walking down the streets of London and other major English cities might notice a curious sight. Many of the old __1__ have some of their windows boarded up. What’s even stranger is that there doesn’t appear to be any consistent pattern as to which windows get covered. This architectural __2__ dates back over 300 years during a time when “coin clipping” was a common crime in England. Back then, silver coins had simple designs with __3__, unmarked edges. Without any pattern extending to the coins’ rims, it was difficult to tell if the edges had been __4__. This
