翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Huahua, I’ll be leaving work early today to visit a friend who is in the hospital.
Huahua: What happened to him? Why is she hospitalized?
Qingqing: She got into a motorcycle accident and broke his leg. After she was sent to the hospital, the doctors quickly scheduled her for surgery.
Huahua: That sounds so painful. Was the surgery successful? She’ll need a good recovery period.
Qingqing: It was very successful, but the doctor said it will take at least three to six months for her to fully recover.
Huahua: Don’t forget to bring six apples for her. That way, we can wish her peace and smooth recovery.
Qingqing: I was actually thinking of bringing pears. She likes eating pears.
Huahua: Yeah, don’t do that. The word “pear” sounds like “parting” in Chinese — it’s bad luck. Also, don’t say goodbye to her. Just wish her a speedy recovery.

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
