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.

“OK.” You say it dozens of times a day without giving it a second thought. It slips effortlessly into text messages, office meetings and casual chats alike. Yet behind this surprisingly simple expression lies one of the most entertaining origin stories in the history of language. The story begins in 1839, when a craze for creative abbreviations had swept through New England’s educated classes. Editors at the Boston Morning Post led the trend, though nearly all their inventions faded within months. One, however, proved far more enduring. On March 23, editor Charles Gordon Greene coined “OK” as a humorous abbreviation for
NASA’s new flagship astronomical observatory was launched into space from Florida on Aug. 10 on a mission to probe some of the biggest mysteries in astrophysics and cosmology. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, a roughly US$4 billion project, was carried aloft from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket through blue skies just after sunrise, embarking on a potentially decade-long observation mission.
