華華：你說的帕運，是不是殘障奧運啊？
Huáhua: Nǐ shuō de Pàyùn, shì búshì Cánzhàng Àoyùn a?
清清：是的，我個人覺得，那些運動員身體雖然都有不方便的地方，但運動精神和能力都值得我們敬佩學習，所以比較喜歡用翻譯帕拉林匹克的名字，來叫它帕運。

Qingqing: The Olympics just concluded, and now the Paralympics are about to start. It’s a great time for sports fans!
Huahua: When you say the Paralympics, do you mean the games for athletes with disabilities?
Qingqing: Yes, I personally feel that although these athletes have physical limitations, their sportsmanship and abilities are truly admirable and something we can all learn from. That’s why I prefer to call it the Paralympics.
Huahua: I agree. Every time I see those athletes striving to earn honor for their country and themselves, I am deeply moved. I don’t think I could do that.
Qingqing: This time round, the Paralympics will include 22 sports, with athletes from 185 countries participating. It’s going to be quite exciting!
Huahua: When is the opening ceremony?
Qingqing: It will be at 1:30am Taiwan time on Aug. 29, held at the Place de la Concorde in Paris. This is the first time in Paralympic history that the opening ceremony will be held in an outdoor venue.
Huahua: I wouldn’t miss this for the world. I’ll get ready with fried chicken and bubble tea. Staying up late to watch the broadcast is going to be a real treat!

Historians are rethinking the way the Holocaust is being presented in museums as the world marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the last Nazi concentration camps this month. Shocking images of the mass killings of Jews were “used massively at the end of World War II to show the violence of the Nazis,” historian Tal Bruttmann, a specialist on the Holocaust, told AFP. But in doing so “we kind of lost sight of the fact that is not normal to show” such graphic scenes of mass murder, of people being humiliated and dehumanized, he said. Up to this
When people listen to music today, they typically use streaming services like YouTube or Spotify. However, traditional formats like vinyl records have regained popularity in recent times. Vinyl records are circular discs that store music in grooves on their surfaces and are played on a turntable. As the turntable’s needle runs along these grooves, it picks up vibrations and translates them into sound. The history of vinyl records dates back to the late 1800s, but material and technological challenges delayed mass production until the 1950s. Despite early versions having short playtimes and poor sound quality, vinyl records introduced a new era
