華華：你這是什麼問題？台灣人最愛去日本旅遊了，一有假期，大家就都往日本擠，我怎麼可能沒去過？

清清：那你坐沒坐過新幹線？
Qīngqing: Nà nǐ zuò méi zuòguò Xīngànxiàn?
華華：我去日本都是自由行，新幹線是最重要的交通工具，買一張JR Pass，就能到處趴趴走了。

清清：日本新幹線是全球高鐵的鼻祖，又叫做「子彈列車」，你看現在的高鐵車頭，像不像子彈？也表現出它的速度就像子彈飛，很有意思。
Qīngqing: Rìběn Xīngànxiàn shì quánqiú gāotiě de bízǔ, yòu jiàozuò “zǐdàn lièchē”, nǐ kàn xiànzài de gāotiě chētóu, xiàng búxiàng zǐdàn? Yě biǎoxiàn chū tā de sùdù jiù xiàng zǐdàn fēi, hěn yǒuyìsi.
華華：真的欸！聽你這麼一說，馬上就來看看下個月還有沒有機票，請好假，就可以去賞楓了！謝謝提醒啊！

翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Huahua, have you ever been to Japan?
Huahua: What kind of question is that? Japanese travel is a favorite among Taiwanese. Whenever there’s a holiday, everyone rushes to Japan. How could I not have been?
Qingqing: Then, have you ever ridden the Shinkansen?
Huahua: I always travel independently when I go to Japan. The Shinkansen is the most important mode of transportation. Just get a JR Pass, and you can go anywhere.
Qingqing: Did you know that the Shinkansen has been in operation for 60 years as of this October, which is now?
Huahua: Really? I thought high-speed rail was a relatively new mode of transportation. I didn’t realize it’s been around for six decades in Japan.
Qingqing: The Shinkansen in Japan is the pioneer of high-speed rail worldwide, also known as the “bullet train.” Doesn’t the front of the current high-speed trains look like a bullet? It reflects its speed, which is as fast as a bullet—quite interesting.
Huahua: You’re right! Now that you mention it, I’ll check if there are any flights next month. I’ll take some leave and go see the autumn leaves! Thanks for the reminder!

Bilingual Story is a fictionalized account. 雙語故事部分內容純屬虛構。 Just yesterday, the boy had helped hang the lucky red couplets. Tonight, as firecrackers signaled the New Year, he lay in bed burning with a surging fever. The herbalist checked the boy’s pulse and went still. “The only cure is in the county town across the mountains,” he said. “But the snow is deep, and the shops are shuttered until the Fourth Day.” The boy’s father looked at the window. “I will go.” “The roads are impassable for a cart,” the herbalist warned. “And too far for a man on foot.” The concerned neighbor
Many animals spend the winter in a deep, low-energy state known as “hibernation.” When food becomes scarce and cold conditions drain body heat, bats, hedgehogs, and some ground squirrels retreat to safe shelters. Their bodies slow down to save energy: heart rates drop, breathing becomes shallow, and body temperature falls. Plenty of preparation goes into hibernation. Shorter days and falling temperatures provoke these animals to eat more and store fat, which sustains the brain and other organs. Inside the body, hormones guide this seasonal change, triggering specific behavior and switching the system to energy-saving mode. Hibernation is not the only winter survival
