Every few months when Jesstoni Garcia takes electric clippers to his head, he’s not just giving himself a haircut, he’s also harvesting art materials.

每隔數月，當傑斯托尼‧賈西亞拿電剪推自己的頭時，不僅在為自己理髮，也在收集藝術材料。

Using a thin brush and clear, sticky resin, the co-owner of a Manila hair salon sprinkles these strands and clippings on a blank canvas, taking two to five hours to arrange them into striking images of musicians and actors.

這名馬尼拉一家美髮沙龍的共同老闆，用細刷子和透明、富黏性的樹脂，把剪下來的髮絲刷在空白的畫布上，再花2至5小時調整成惹人注目的音樂家和演員肖像。

The 32-year-old’s main job as a seaman involves spending up to eight months a year on cruise ships, and lacking adequate art supplies like paint and sketchpads at sea, Garcia in 2021 turned to using his own hair to create images. He started with self-portraits and eventually moved on to depicting celebrities.（Reuters）

32歲的賈西亞本職是航海員，一年有多達8個月在遊輪上，航海期間欠缺顏料和畫板等藝術材料，所以在2021年轉而用自己的頭髮創作肖像。他從自畫像著手，逐漸開始描繪名人。（路透）

週五援助緩慢送進阿富汗偏遠地區在地震中受創的村莊，但在這場阿富汗數十年來死傷最嚴重的地震發生後3天，數千人仍然缺少糧食、避難處和飲水。

Wednesday’s 5.9-magnitude quake struck hardest in the rugged east along the border with Pakistan, as people slept, killing more than 1,000 and leaving thousands more homeless.

沿著巴基斯坦邊境的崎嶇東部，在週三發生的規模5.9地震中受創最嚴重，地震在大家睡覺時來襲，造成超過1000人死亡，數千人無家可歸。

The area was still being roiled by aftershocks that were sending frightened locals scurrying from whatever shelter they had sought in badly damaged dwellings.

該地區仍受餘震震動，讓擔心害怕的地方民眾，從他們在嚴重受損住宅中所能找到的任何避難之處，急急忙忙跑出來。

瑪莎‧史都華透露，她之所以結束與安東尼‧霍普金斯的戀情，在於她無法將這名男星與其最惡名昭彰的電影角色區分開來。

Appearing on "The Ellen Show" on Thursday, the 80-year-old lifestyle guru and TV personality said she had to break up with the Welsh Oscar-winner, 84, after recalling his chilling performance in the 1991 horror thriller "The Silence of the Lambs."

這位80歲的生活大師與電視名人週四在「愛倫秀」中說，她在想起這位84歲、得過奧斯卡金像獎的威爾斯男星，在1991年的恐怖驚悚片「沉默的羔羊」中令人毛骨悚然的演出後，不得不與他分手。

Stewart, who divorced her ex-husband Andrew Stewart in 1990 after almost three decades of marriage, previously spoke about her fleeting romance with Hopkins during a 2014 appearance on "The Meredith Vieira Show," saying they "went out to dinner" a couple of times but insisted "a girl should kiss and never tell."

史都華在1990年與結縭近30年的前夫安德魯‧史都華離婚，她此前在2014年上「梅莉蒂絲‧維埃拉秀」節目時，曾論及與霍普金斯的短暫戀情，表示兩人「出去吃過飯」幾次，但堅稱「女生戀愛可以談，但自曝私密情事就免了」。
