At least six people were taken to hospital after the last of this year’s eight-day bull runs in the northern Spanish city of Pamplona earlier this month.
The victims were injured while falling and tripping over. There were no reports of injuries from bull horns.
In the Saint Fermin bull runs, six fighting bulls are let loose on the winding streets of the old city center.

Hundreds of men known as mozos run alongside the bulls, armed with nothing but folded newspapers. The animals make a 825m dash for the bullring, where they are killed in an evening bullfight.
Hundreds of people were injured in this year’s bull runs. The event is organized annually in honor of San Fermin, the patron saint of the city.
The bull runs have claimed 14 lives since 1924. The most recent victim was killed in 2003.

本月稍早，今年為期八天的奔牛節活動在西班牙北部城市潘普洛納展開，在最後一天的活動中，至少有六位民眾受傷送醫。
這些受害民眾都是被絆倒或跌跤時受傷；據報今年沒有人被牛角刺傷。
今年度的聖佛明奔牛節中，六頭鬥牛被釋放在這座舊城市中心的蜿蜒小路上狂奔。
數百名被稱作「侍者」的男子在牛群旁狂奔，他們手上只拿著捲起的報紙。這些鬥牛朝著八百二十五公尺遠的鬥牛場狂奔而去，鬥牛場傍晚有鬥牛表演，這些鬥牛會在那裡被處死。
今年的奔牛節有數百名民眾受傷。這個每年都會舉辦的活動是為了紀念這個城市的守護聖徒聖佛明。
自一九二四年以來，奔牛節活動已經奪走十四條人命，最近一次有人員喪生是在二ＯＯ三年。

South Korea’s famous kimchi is falling victim to climate change, with scientists, farmers and manufacturers saying the quality and quantity of the napa cabbage that is pickled to make the ubiquitous dish is suffering due to rising temperatures. Napa cabbage thrives in cooler climates, and is usually planted in mountainous regions where temperatures during the key growing summer season once rarely rose above 25 degrees Celsius. Studies show that warmer weather brought about by climate change is now threatening these crops, so much so that South Korea might not be able to grow napa cabbage one day due to the intensifying heat. “We
It’s widely recognized that there are far more right-handed people than left-handed people in the world. Being right-handed simply means preferring to use one’s right hand for tasks that involve only one hand, such as writing and eating. But have you ever wondered about the possible reasons behind the global dominance of the right hand over the left? As with many complex biological questions, multiple factors appear to be at play. First, one reason seems to be genetics. __1__ Therefore, the global dominance of right-handedness is something that has been passed down through many generations of humans. Next,
A: What’s even more horrible is that the five suspects who purposely supplied ketamine to actor Matthew Perry were all his “friends.” B: Who exactly are the five suspects? A: They include Matthew’s two doctors, a broker, a drug dealer, and even his live-in assistant. B: Those scumbags should go to jail. A: Yeah, one of the doctors may be sentenced to up to 120 years in prison. A: 更可怕的是，提供男星馬修派瑞「K他命」的5人全是他的「朋友」。 B: 嫌犯是誰啊？ A: 其中包括他的2位醫生、1位仲介、1位毒販、甚至他的同居助理！ B: 那些人渣真該去坐牢。 A: 對啊，其中1位醫生可能面臨120年徒刑。 （By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times／台北時報張聖恩）
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Finally, cultural influence also plays a role in which hand people prefer. Historically, items that require physical manipulation have been designed for right-handed use. For example, tools like scissors and musical instruments are often constructed with right-handers in mind, making it difficult for left-handers to use them. __4__ While these factors offer some explanation, they remain speculative. The precise reasons for the global prevalence of right-handed people continue to be debated. Nevertheless, left-handedness will remain a phenomenon of great curiosity among scientists and researchers for many years to come. 最後，文化影響也在人們偏好哪一隻手上扮演一角。歷史上，需要用到肢體操作的物品都被設計來供右手使用。舉例來說，像是剪刀、樂器等工具常常就是考慮到右撇子而打造的，造成左撇子難以使用這些工具。因此，許多天生就是左撇子的人可能就必須透過學習使用右手來適應。 雖然這些因素都提供了一些解釋，但它們仍是推測而已。全球右撇子如此普及，確切的原因仍持續被爭論著。不過，在未來的許多年裡，左撇子依然會是科學家和研究人員相當好奇的一個現象。 What Did You Learn?
