What comes to mind when you think of a “mermaid”? For some, it may simply be a mythical creature, but being a professional mermaid is a real and fascinating career. This unique job not only involves creativity but also demands dedication and skill. Professional mermaids amaze audiences with breathtaking underwater performances. Whether they are gracefully swimming alongside marine creatures or educating spectators about manatee ecology, their movements evoke a sense of magic and wonder. But their work doesn’t stop there. Many mermaids engage directly with visitors, taking memorable photos or guiding them through unique experiences, such as “mermaid for
A preliminary finding into last month’s Air India plane crash has suggested the aircraft’s fuel control switches were turned off, starving the engines of fuel and causing a loss of engine thrust shortly after takeoff. The report, issued by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau on Saturday last week, also found that one pilot was heard on the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) asking the other why he cut off the fuel in the flight’s final moment.

Dos & Don’ts — 想想看，這句話英語該怎麼說？ 1. 所有學生都沒答對。 ˇ None of the students are/is right. χ All the students are not right. 註︰“All... not...” 並非全部否定，例如：All that glitters is not gold.（並非金光閃閃就是金子。）中文裡的「都不」、「都沒有」，在英語中習慣用 none of...（指兩個以上時）。None 視上下文可為單數或複數，若用單數是把「所有學生」當作一個群體。 None of them attended the meeting. （他們都沒有出席會議。） None of the boys were/was interested in this game. （孩子們對這遊戲都不感興趣。） 若是要用 All 的話，則補語要用具否定意義的詞，如 wrong 或 absent。 例如： All the answers are wrong. All students were absent. 2. 大家都爬不上來。 ˇ No one could climb up. χ Everyone could not climb up. 註︰在有 every 的句中的否定語氣也和 all 一樣，只是部分的否定，意謂「非人人……」；若not 放在 every 之前，也是一樣。例如： Not everyone can do this.（這不是人人都能做的。） 中文「大家都不…」、「大家都沒有…」、「任何＋名詞＋都不…」，在英語往往用 no one、nobody 或 no ＋名詞來表達。例如： No one can help him. （大家都無法幫助他。） No country has the right to interfere in the internal
