DJs at silent discos play loud music, but the songs are played through radio transmitters. These radio signals are then picked up by wireless headphones. One of the cool things about silent discos is that two or more DJs can be playing right next to each other and listeners can switch from channel to channel to find the music they like. This would be impossible with speakers because the different songs would come together in an unpleasant way.

無聲派對上的DJ把音樂放得很大聲，但歌曲卻是透過無線電發送器來播放出來。接著無線耳機會接收這些無線電訊號。無聲派對上最酷的一點就是兩個或兩個以上的DJ可以在彼此身旁播放音樂，而且聽的人也可以轉換一個又一個的頻道來找到他們喜歡的音樂。如果是用音響來播放的話根本就是不可能的，因為同時播放不同的音樂並不悅耳。

“The surest defense against Evil is extreme individualism, originality of thinking, whimsicality, even – if you will – eccentricity. That is, something that can’t be feigned, faked, imitated; something even a seasoned imposter couldn’t be happy with.”

– Joseph Brodsky, Poet

「對抗邪惡的最可靠防禦，是極端的個人主義、原創性思考、古怪，甚至可以說是反常。那是無法偽造、假裝及模仿的，即便經驗老到的冒充者也無法辦到。」– 約瑟夫·布羅茨基 (詩人)

Kawaiicooking is a trend that started in Japan with people cooking food with doll-sized cooking tools. In Japanese, kawaiimeans cute, but it also means small. Kawaiicooking involves cooking full meals with real ingredients, but on a tiny level. There is no way anyone could fill up on such tiny meals, but that is not the point. The point is to cook little meals just because it is fun.

「卡哇伊」料理是從日本開始的一個趨勢潮流，人們利用玩偶大小般的廚具料理食物。「 kawaii」在日文中的意思是「可愛的」，但它也指「小型的」。「卡哇伊」料理包含利用真實食材做一整道餐點，但是是小型的版本。雖然沒有人可以用這些小型食物來填飽肚子，但是這不是重點。做微型料理的重點是它十分有趣。

The Los Angeles Lakers that we know today have produced some of the finest athletes in basketball history. Starting from the NBA’s first superstar, George Mikan, all the way to the Lakers’ current superstar, Kobe Bryant, the Lakers have never been short on talent. It was not until the 1980s, however, that a Magic Johnson-led team really displayed what the Lakers could do on the basketball court.

我們現今所知的洛杉磯湖人隊已產出了一些籃球史上最優秀的運動員。一開始從NBA的第一位超級球星喬治•麥肯一直到湖人隊當今的超級球星科比•布萊恩，湖人隊從來都不缺有才華的運動員。但是，直到八○年代由魔術強森所率領的球隊才真正展現出湖人隊在籃球場上的能耐。
