翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Huahua, you’ve been coughing several times since you came in. Are you okay?
Huahua: While I was waiting for the bus this morning, someone was smoking right next to me. It smelled really bad and made me feel uncomfortable.
Qingqing: Have some hot water—it might make you feel better.
Huahua: People who smoke enjoy it themselves, but they don’t care that others have to breathe in secondhand smoke. It’s so selfish.
Qingqing: Actually, bus stops are non-smoking areas. You should have told him directly.
Huahua: Luckily, the bus came quickly, so he had to put the cigarette out before getting on.
Qingqing: I really wish all smokers in the world could quit, so we’d never have to smell that awful smoke again.
Huahua: That wish is perfect for today — June 3, “No Smoking Day.” I hope everyone can have clean lungs and a healthy body.

Alan Turing, celebrated as the “father of computer science,” was a brilliant mathematician and scientist. Born in London in 1912, Turing showed exceptional talent in mathematics and science from a young age. At 16, he understood Albert Einstein’s work without difficulty. This intelligence carried him through studies at Cambridge University and later at Princeton University in the US, where he further explored complex mathematical theories. In 1936, Turing introduced the concept of the Turing machine, a theoretical device for solving mathematical problems. He described it as having an infinite tape on which symbols could be read, interpreted, and modified. With simple
Denmark’s state-run postal service, PostNord, announced that it would cease letter deliveries at the end of 2025 due to the impact of digitalization. As 95% of its residents now use the Digital Post service, Denmark has seen a 90% decline in letter volumes since 2000, from 1.4 billion to 110 million last year. On top of that, the Postal Act of 2024 removes the government’s obligation to provide universal mail service and puts an end to postal exemptions from value-added tax, raising the cost of a single letter to 29 Danish krone (US$4.20). As a result, PostNord is switching
