翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: That looks nice! Let’s go with that!
Huahua: You’ve been at it for quite a while. What are you busy with?
Qingqing: My cousins graduated, and they both did very well. One of my cousins is in graduate school, and the other is in university. They both happen to be graduates of my alma mater. Many family members went to their graduation ceremonies, so I’m making a video with the photos from that day to share with everyone.
Huahua: Wow! You’re all alumni! Congratulations to them! But what are their plans after graduation?
Qingqing: My cousin found a job in the Hsinchu Science Park, and my uncle is very happy. The other cousin applied to a university in the United States for further studies, planning to study abroad. Although my aunt is reluctant to let her go, she is also supportive of her going out and exploring.
Huahua: Sounds great, unlike some people who end up unemployed after graduation, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.
Qingqing: If they can’t find a suitable job right away, they can always learn a new skill. After all, being young means having plenty of opportunities.
Huahua: Exactly! Nowadays, people like to have multiple skills, right? The more skills you have, the more paths you have for development. With skills and perseverance, they are sure to find a good job.

Photographer Franziska Stuenkel likes to take spontaneous urban shots, so she needs a nimble camera that is ready to go when inspiration strikes: her German-made Leica M11. “I have to be very quick and discreet,” said the Berlin-based artist who captures reflections of people walking past windows, their contours merging with the shapes behind the glass. Stuenkel’s compact Leica is the perfect camera for the job, the 51-year-old told AFP.
