翻譯 Translation
Xiaoshi: Mark, have you heard of Feng Shui?
Mark: Yes, I have. It’s something Taiwanese pay attention to when buying a house, right?
Xiaoshi: Yes, Taiwanese believe that the living environment can affect a person’s personality and health.
Mark: I heard from other Taiwanese friends that living near a
hospital makes it easy to get sick, is that true?
Xiaoshi: Yes, that’s right. Also, there should be sufficient lighting in the living room at home. If a room is too dark, it may affect your luck.
Mark: I agree with that. If sunlight can’t come into the living room, it can affect one’s mood.
Xiaoshi: Some people also say that you shouldn’t place knives or swords at home because they are considered weapons.
Mark: Wow! It seems like there are many things to pay attention to in Feng Shui.
Xiaoshi: Yes, you’re right. If I get the chance, I would like to study it thoroughly.

The US-Israeli war on Iran, launched on Feb. 28, has set the Middle East alight, threatening millions of people’s lives and livelihoods as the violence spreads in widening arc stretching from central Asia to the edge of Europe. The joint operation, named “Epic Fury” by the US and “Roaring Lion” by Israel, has been sold as a high-impact show of intimidating power, but its impact so far beyond the chaos and bloodshed is unclear. What is certain is that predictions that this type of war would destabilize the region have indeed rapidly materialized. What is the background to this war? For decades, the
When purchasing sunglasses, many people prioritize fashion or comfort. However, experts warn that eye safety should be the foremost concern. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can lead to serious eye problems, including cataracts, macular degeneration, and even a painful condition called photokeratitis, or “sunburn of the eye.” Because of these risks, selecting sunglasses with proper UV protection is essential. One common misconception is that darker lenses automatically block more UV rays. In fact, lens color and darkness have little to do with UV protection. A pair of stylish, dark sunglasses without the appropriate coating can be dangerous because
The English Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2017, is renowned for its landscapes, literary legacy and traditional farming. Yet, its esteemed status now sits at the center of a debate: is the designation protecting the region—or harming it?

He argues that the label reinforces unsustainable farming, particularly the dominance of sheep grazing, which prevents ecological restoration and harms biodiversity. The famous Herdwick sheep, while culturally significant, contribute to overgrazing, soil erosion, and the prevention of forest recovery. Schofield clarifies that
