wherever she goes. Sometimes they get into some very sticky situations.
見見老鼠凱薩琳和大象馬克。凱薩琳非常勇敢又喜歡冒險，但馬克的個性十分害羞，對許多事情都感到害怕。不過，朋友都喜歡黏在一塊兒，所以凱薩琳走到哪兒，馬克就會跟到哪兒。有時候，他們也會碰上非常棘手的情況...
The long way round 漫漫長路
“Phew, its hot,” Kathleen sighed.
“Well, at least it isn’t raining!” Mark said cheerfully. He was really enjoying their holiday in Pakistan. “What shall we go see next?”
“Maybe we should head over to the Shah Faisal Masjid mosque,” Kathleen suggested. “It’s supposed to be one of the biggest in the world.”
“Cool! We can check out the huge silver globe statue on the way,” Mark said.
Kathleen and Mark set off toward the statue, admiring the greenery along the way. As they turned a corner they saw crowds lining the street.
“Oooh, what’s going on here?” Kathleen asked.
“Way too many people, that’s what,” Mark replied grumpily. “Come on, let’s cut across that park, or we’ll never get to see any of the sights.”
Mark and Kathleen were soon enjoying the peaceful park. “That’s more like it,” Mark said. “The problem with big crowds is that you never know if they’re going to be happy or angry. It’s best to stay well out of the way.”
“I suppose you’re right,” Kathleen replied, ”but I wonder what they were all waiting to see.”
Just then there was a loud commotion behind them. Kathleen and Mark spun round. A big mass of scary looking men wearing blue tracksuits was heading right for them. And right in the middle of them was a torch!
“Get out of the way! Move! Move you stupid elephant!” they roared ...

凱薩琳嘆息著說：「唉，天氣好熱喔。」
馬克開心地說：「唔，至少沒有下雨啊！」他相當沉浸在他們的巴基斯坦之旅。「我們接下來要去看什麼呢？」
凱薩琳建議說：「也可以去參觀費瑟國王清真寺，那算是全世界最大的清真寺耶。」
馬克說：「酷！我們還可以順路去看那個巨大的銀球雕塑。」
凱薩琳和馬克朝著雕塑出發，他們一路欣賞路旁的綠色植物；轉過一個彎後，他們看到一大群人在街上排隊。
凱薩琳問：「哇，這裡發生了什麼事啊？」
馬克不耐煩地回答：「就是人太多了。走吧，我們穿過那個公園吧，否則我們就什麼景點都看不到了。」
不一會兒，馬克和凱薩琳便徜徉在寧靜的公園。馬克說：「這才像樣嘛；一大群人聚在一起的問題在於，你不會知道他們是歡欣或憤怒的一群人，所以最好離他們遠一點。」
「我想你說得對，」凱薩琳回答：「但是我很好奇他們在等什麼。」
就在此時，他們背後傳來一陣騷動聲，凱薩琳和馬克轉過身來，看到一大群穿著成套藍色運動服、目露兇光的男子正朝著他們跑來，而他們正中間有一支火把！
他們大喊：「閃開！讓路！你這隻愚蠢的大象快滾！」(翻譯：袁星塵)
Historians are rethinking the way the Holocaust is being presented in museums as the world marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the last Nazi concentration camps this month. Shocking images of the mass killings of Jews were “used massively at the end of World War II to show the violence of the Nazis,” historian Tal Bruttmann, a specialist on the Holocaust, told AFP. But in doing so “we kind of lost sight of the fact that is not normal to show” such graphic scenes of mass murder, of people being humiliated and dehumanized, he said. Up to this
A ‘Dutch angle’ is a classic camera technique that has been used in filmmaking since the 1920s, when it was introduced to Hollywood by German Expressionists. Why is it called the Dutch angle if it’s actually German? In fact, it has no __1__ to the Netherlands. The term “Dutch” is widely believed to be a misinterpretation of “Deutsch,” which means German in the German language. In any event, the name stuck, and the Dutch angle remains a popular cinematic tool to this day. This technique involves tilting the camera on its x-axis, skewing the shot to create a sense of
When people listen to music today, they typically use streaming services like YouTube or Spotify. However, traditional formats like vinyl records have regained popularity in recent times. Vinyl records are circular discs that store music in grooves on their surfaces and are played on a turntable. As the turntable’s needle runs along these grooves, it picks up vibrations and translates them into sound. The history of vinyl records dates back to the late 1800s, but material and technological challenges delayed mass production until the 1950s. Despite early versions having short playtimes and poor sound quality, vinyl records introduced a new era
