疫情期間，許多國家的課程改成網路授課，或用直播、或用預錄的方式，考驗老師對科技的熟悉程度。台灣教育部則推動「安心就學」方案，讓無法返校就學的學生，可以利用實時授課或線上課程修課。有讀者詢問，「安心就學」的英語應該怎麼說、怎麼翻譯比較適合。是Study at Ease Project好，還是Project of Reassured Study比較合適？
我認為「安心就學」方案，可譯為：Stay Home Stay Safe Study Program。「就學」一詞就是study，言簡意賅；而「安心」，則不必試著直翻，而是將此專案的內涵翻譯出來較為恰當，也就是──待在家、安全地學習。此外，六個字中有四個字是S開頭，押頭韻(alliteration)，唸起來比較鏗鏘有力。相關用語也可以在國外見到，比如加拿大有針對偏遠地區原住民有類似的「在家就學」方案(Stay at Home Learning Program)。

至於program和project，中文一般都譯為「計畫」，但有何不同？我們可以在網路上找到以下解釋：project一般是指為達成一項目標的單一的行動／努力過程，而program則是由一系列projects所組成。
A project represents a single, focused endeavor. A program is a collection of projects – together all the projects form a connected package of work. The different projects complement each other to assist the program in achieving its overall objectives.
(“What is a Program in Project Management?,” Wrike)
所以，可以視program為project的上位詞，是更複雜的計畫和方案。安心就學包含很多種措施，每個學校也有各自施行的指導細則，可以將每個學校所實施的方案視為單一的project，而教育部統籌的計畫，是這些projects的集合，是以稱之為program。

In most cities, food waste is often regarded as one of the most troublesome types of waste: it has a high moisture content, spoils easily and produces strong odors. If not handled properly, it can cause serious sanitation and environmental problems. From the perspective of the circular economy, however, food waste is not “useless leftovers,” but rather an organic resource that has yet to be effectively utilized. The core principle of the circular economy is to break away from the linear model of “production–consumption–disposal,” allowing resources to circulate repeatedly within a system and extending their useful life. Food waste occupies a

In June, headlines shocked the art world when a visitor damaged a 17th-century painting at the Uffizi Galleries in Florence, Italy, while posing for a photograph. This was not an isolated event. Recently, similar disasters have been reported worldwide, from a child damaging a Mark Rothko painting to a tourist breaking an exhibit by pretending to sit on it. Such incidents highlight why museum etiquette is increasingly crucial. First, we must recognize that art and historical objects are fragile. Once damaged, they may never regain their original condition. Many common actions, though harmless at first glance, can have grave consequences. For
