翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Huahua, do you know the fairy tale The Wizard of Oz?
Huahua: Of course. It’s a very famous American literary work. It’s not only a storybook but also often adapted into movies and stage plays.
Qingqing: Yes, but have you ever seen a Chinese version of the performance?
Huahua: No, I haven’t. It’s hard to imagine Dorothy and the Scarecrow speaking Chinese.
Qingqing: You can see it this week at the Taichung National Theater. Are you interested in going with me?
Huahua: Sure. The Taichung National Theater is a cultural landmark in Taichung, and I haven’t visited it yet. It would be a great opportunity to check it out.
Qingqing: Let me quickly check if tickets are still available. If they are, I’ll book them right away.
Huahua: No problem, thank you.

Most people enjoy the simple pleasure of creating bubbles using soap and water or a handy bubble gun, but have you ever wondered why these bubbles come out in such a uniform, spherical form? The answer delves into the fascinating realm of physics and the special behaviors of liquids. Soap bubbles are formed when air molecules become trapped inside a thin layer of soapy water, giving them a shimmering appearance. As a liquid, the soapy film takes up the smallest possible surface area—water molecules naturally do this to achieve the most stable state. And guess what shape has the least surface
A: Taiwanese athletes won two gold and five bronze medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, including shooter Lee Meng-yuan, who has now become the World’s No. 1. B: Badminton duo Lee Yang and Wang Chi-lin and boxer Lin Yu-ting won golds this time. A: But Taiwan lagged far behind neighboring Japan and South Korea, which won 20 and 13 golds, respectively.

Continued from yesterday (延續自昨日) https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang When water molecules stick together, this also creates surface tension. This surface tension acts like a stretchy skin that resists outside forces. Meanwhile, the air molecules inside the bubble are pushing outwards trying to escape, but the surface tension pushes back with an equal and opposite force. It’s like a tug-of-war, but perfectly balanced, and this balance of forces is what keeps the bubble together. Bubbles are also easy to burst because their existence all hinges on the thin film. A collision with the ground or a wall can rupture this delicate membrane. Likewise, too much air pushed
