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.

The deep waters off the coast of California are home to a bizarre creature: the flapjack octopus. This creature, known for its pancake-like appearance, spreads itself thin on the seabed as a clever survival strategy, making it difficult for predators to spot and capture it. With its unique, umbrella-shaped body formed by webbed arms, the flapjack octopus moves through the water in a graceful manner. It propels itself forward by rhythmically moving its body and contracting its webbed arms. Its pair of ear-like fins, which move independently yet with remarkable coordination, also help it explore the deep-sea environment. These
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Many people may be familiar with flapjack octopuses thanks to Pearl, a charming character from the Pixar film Finding Nemo. However, her portrayal presents several scientific inaccuracies. In reality, flapjack octopuses are deep-sea creatures, which are unsuitable for the brightly lit shallow reef environment depicted in the film. Their primary defense mechanism relies on their reddish coloration, which would be ineffective in the well-lit shallows. Pearl’s famous line, “You guys made me ink,” is another fictional detail that is not consistent with the observed actions of real flapjack octopuses. As common as it is in many other octopus
