A walk in the park 公園漫遊記
“I love England!” Kathleen declared. “Everything is so fresh and beautiful.”
Mark and Kathleen were strolling through Windsor Great Park.
“It is a lovely park,” Mark said.
“And so big! Over 20km2! Look at all these amazing trees!” Kathleen shouted. Just then they turned a corner and found themselves at the top of a slope covered with flowerbeds full of pink flowers.
“Wow! They must have taken ages to plant!” Mark said.
Mark and Kathleen stopped to take a photo under a towering totem pole.
“I wonder how that got here?” Kathleen wondered.
The pair continued on their way. They passed a beautiful waterfall and took some more photos. They soon came across a ruined temple.
“Look Mark! A Greek temple!”
“What on earth is that doing here?” Mark asked.
“It must have been brought over from Greece,” Kathleen replied. “It’s amazing. I really want to get a closer look. We can take a great photo in the middle. Let’s climb over those railings.”
“I don’t think that’s such a great idea,” Mark said, but it was too late. Kathleen had slipped through the railings...

「我愛英國!」凱薩琳大聲宣告:「一切都這麼新鮮、美好。」
馬克和凱薩琳在溫莎大公園漫步。
馬克說:「這是個漂亮的公園。」
凱薩琳叫嚷:「而且好大唷!超過二十平方公里耶!看看這些樹多美啊!」接著,他們轉過個彎,發現自己站在一個斜坡頂端,放眼望去盡是一片粉紅色的花海。
馬克說:「哇!種植這些植物一定很花時間!」
馬克和凱薩琳停下腳步,在一根高聳的圖騰柱下合影留念。
凱薩琳不禁納悶:「不知道那怎麼是怎麼運過來的?」
然後兩人又繼續往前走,他們經過一個壯觀的瀑布時又拍了一些照片;不久他們便來到一個神殿的廢墟。
「馬克,你看!一個希臘式神殿!」
馬克問:「這為什麼會出現在這裡?」
「這一定是從希臘弄過來的,」凱薩琳回答:「好不可思議喔,我真的很想走近一點去看,我們可以在中間拍一張很棒的照片,我們攀過那些柵欄吧!」
馬克說:「我覺得這樣不太好耶。」但是為時已晚,凱薩琳已經翻過柵欄溜進去了...

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

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
