The Japan That Time Forgot 宛如童話世界的仙境 合掌村
| The Japan That Time Forgot 宛如童話世界的仙境 合掌村 英倫翻譯 圖文摘自http://www.appledaily.com.tw/appledaily/article/forum/20150121/36340794/TheJapanThatTimeForgot In the land that time forgot, the sleepy villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama have remained unchanged for centuries. Located in the Shogawa River valley of central Japan, these two locations were first settled in the 8th century by a religious order that combined different practices of Buddhism. Since then, both villages have kept their economies healthy with the steady production of buckwheat, millet, and mulberries. In 1995, UNESCO declared the two villages World Heritage Sites. Shirakawa-go and Gokayama are best known for their thatched houses that dot the landscape and give both villages their iconic images. The houses are built using a special architectural style known as the praying-hands construction, which gives the rooftops a pointed shape that looks like two hands joined together in prayer. This design makes the houses strong enough to hold up against the heavy winter snowfall. 在被時光所遺忘的這塊土地上，白川鄉與五箇山裡寂靜的村落許多世紀以來依然保持不變。坐落在日本中部的庄河河谷，這兩個地點最初是在第八世紀由一個結合不同佛教習俗的宗教修道會定居在此的。從此以後，這兩個村落都因為蕎麥、小米及桑葚的穩定產量而維持良好的經濟狀況。1995 年時，聯合國教科文組織宣布這兩個村落為世界遺產。 白川鄉與五箇山最為人所熟知的就是它們那些點綴風景的茅草屋，這也賦予了這兩個村落代表性的象徵。這些房子是以被稱為合掌建築的特殊建築風格所建造的，這種風格讓這些建築物的屋頂看起來像是雙手合十祈禱的尖頂型態。這個設計讓房子堅固到足以支撐厚重的冬季降雪而保持良好的狀態。 |

If so, a new contest called YouTube Space Lab is perfect for you. To enter, make a video explaining your experiment, including your topic, hypothesis, method, and expected results. Then upload it to YouTube so it can be reviewed by a panel of judges. Prizes are awarded to the winners of each of the three regions in the two age groups. Every one of them gets a laptop, a trip to Washington DC, and a zero-gravity flight. However, the most exciting prize of all is for the two global winners because their experiments will actually be conducted 400 kilometers above Earth at the International Space Station. Everything will be shown live on YouTube so that people all over the world can watch the experiments unfold right before their very eyes. 您是否曾有個科學實驗的好點子，但必須是在外太空進行的？如果有的話，那麼有個叫做 YouTube 太空實驗室的新比賽對您來說再適合不過了。想要參加這項比賽，您必須先錄製一段影片來解釋您的實驗，內容包含您的主題、假設、實驗方法，以及預期達到的結果。接著再把影片上傳至 YouTube，好讓評審團來檢視您的影片內容。 兩個不同年齡組別中各有三個分區，當中的優勝者都會獲頒多種獎品。每個贏家都可以得到一台筆電、一趟華盛頓特區之行，以及一場無重力模擬飛行的體驗。然而，兩位全球優勝者所贏得的才是最令人興奮的獎項，因為他們的實驗真的可以在離地表四百公里高的國際太空站中由太空人進行。所有過程都會同步於 YouTube 上播送，所以全世界的人都可以看著這些實驗在他們眼前逐步進行。 |

你製造的是能量字還是汙染字?
| 你製造的是能量字還是汙染字? 英倫翻譯 圖文摘自 http://blog.udn.com/corecorner/19481855 你相信語言是有力量的嗎？ 你相信我們此刻腦海中所想和嘴巴所說的單字、片語、句子，都有力量形塑下一刻的我們嗎？你相信，語言足以拯救一個國家、挽回一條生命、打破不公不義嗎？歷史上許多偉人都曾運用語言的力量來感動人心、啟發行動，甚至扭轉乾坤。知名的案例有邱吉爾的《This was their Finest Hour》，納粹大軍當前、節節進犯，歐陸幾近失守、僅剩英倫孤島力抗強敵，他鼓勵英國人為了全世界的自由奮戰到底，描繪出戰勝納粹後的畫面： The life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands（迎向天高地闊、陽光普照的高地），並在結語用the nest hour來期許所有英國人勇敢迎戰。最黑暗的時刻，他選擇用最美好的時光來定義，用語言點亮了恐懼籠罩的土地。 |

Going Deep with David Rees 生活點子王
| Going Deep with David Rees 生活點子王 英倫翻譯 圖文摘自http://www.appledaily.com.tw/appledaily/article/forum/20150110/36319388/GoingDeepwithDavidRees Have you ever wondered what the best way to tie a shoe is or how to dig a perfect hole? You may think you already know how to do these tasks, but there is always a way to do something better. National Geographic Channel’s (NGC) Going Deep with David Rees explores these simple questions and comes up with some surprising answers. The show follows cartoonist and humorist, David Rees, to find out the very best way to do anything. In one episode, Rees wants to make the world’s tastiest ice cubes, but to do that he first needs the world’s cleanest and purest water. Rees and his team visit a water purification laboratory in search of the purest water. Surprisingly, Rees finds out that drinking such clean water is quite unhealthy for the human body. As it turns out, having the best is not always so great. 你曾好奇想知道什麼是繫鞋帶的最好方式或如何挖出一個最令人滿意的洞嗎？你或許自認為已經知道如何做這些事，但總有能把事情做得更好的方法。國家地理頻道的《生活點子王》探討了這些簡單的問題並提出一些令人意想不到的答案。 節目跟著身兼漫畫家和幽默作家大衛•李斯去找出做任何事情的最佳方法。其中有一集，李斯想做出世上最可口的冰塊，但為了達成目的，他首先需要世上最乾淨和最純淨的水。李斯和他的團隊造訪一個水質淨化實驗室以尋找最純淨的水。出人意外地，李斯發現喝如此純淨的水對人體很不健康。結果，擁有最好的未必是好事。 |

| The Art and Skill of Making Paper Models 紙玩藝 百變紙模型 英倫翻譯 圖文摘自http://www.appledaily.com.tw/appledaily/article/forum/20150114/36325859/TheArtandSkillofMakingPaperModels The idea of turning a simple piece of paper into a three-dimensional form of art has long attracted people. For centuries, creative individuals have folded and shaped paper into complicated figures. In Japan, for example, this activity is known as origami. Thicker paper and cardboard are used to create stronger, even more impressive models. These paper models, also known as card models, were commonly found in magazines in the early 1900s. Buyers of the magazines could cut out the various shapes, fold them, and glue them together. Moreover, the Internet has led to a renewed interest in them. The designs can be easily achieved by downloading them for free from websites, and then they can be printed on thick paper. 把單純一張紙轉變成 3D 藝術形式的構想長久以來一直吸引著人們。數百年以來，創意十足的人們將紙張摺疊並雕塑成複雜的造型。例如，在日本這種活動稱為摺紙藝術。厚的紙張和硬紙板被用來製作更堅固的、甚至更令人印象深刻的模型。這些紙模型也被稱作卡片模型，在二十世紀初期它普遍出現在雜誌上。購買雜誌的人可以剪下各式各樣的形狀，摺疊後，並黏貼起來。此外，網路使大眾對它產生全新的興趣。只要從免費的網站上下載，這些設計作品就能輕易取得，然後用厚的紙把它們列印下來。 |

Cooking Up a Storm 舌尖藝術家 全球主廚熱潮
| Cooking Up a Storm 舌尖藝術家 全球主廚熱潮 英倫翻譯 圖文摘自http://www.appledaily.com.tw/appledaily/article/forum/20150107/36312930/CookingUpaStorm In restaurant kitchens around the world, chefs bring food creations to life. First, let's talk about the difference between a chef and a cook. A chef is a person who is in charge of an entire restaurant kitchen. The people working under the chef are called cooks. Becoming a chef is not as easy as knowing the basics of food preparation. If you really take cooking seriously, a few years at culinary school are required. Many cooks serve under master chefs for years before becoming chefs themselves. For example, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay of Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, and MasterChef fame started out as a regular chef in a hotel in England. 在世界各地餐廳的廚房裡，主廚們鮮活呈現了一道道的創意料理。首先，就來談談主廚和廚師的不同之處。主廚掌管了整間餐廳的廚房。而在主廚底下工作的人就是廚師。要成為一位主廚，不是只有知道準備食物的基本原則那麼簡單而已。如果你真的想好好學習料理的話，就需要在烹飪學校學習數年的時間。有許多廚師在成為主廚之前，都曾在頂尖大廚的底下工作過多年。舉例來說，名廚戈登•拉姆齊在因《地獄廚房》、《廚房噩夢》還有《廚神當道》而成名之前，一開始也只是英格蘭一家飯店裡的一個普通主廚。 |

| The Moomin Boom 來自歡樂谷的好夥伴 ── 嚕嚕米旋風 英倫翻譯 圖文摘自http://www.appledaily.com.tw/appledaily/article/forum/20150113/36324379/TheMoominBoom The Moomins are a family of hippo-like creatures that feature in books by Finnish author and illustrator Tove Jansson. They are a family of fairy-tale creatures made up of Moominpappa, Moominmamma, and Moomintroll, often called just the Moomins. They have a series of adventures together and with other characters over the course of nine books, comic strips, cartoons, and a full-length movie. The books are classics of children's literature in Finland, and the comic strip was always popular. The thing that really made Moomin's popularity increase, however, was a 104-episode animated series that ran in Japan in the early 1990s. The cute animation of the strange Moomins' world started the Moomin boom. 嚕嚕米一家人是外觀上像河馬的動物，是芬蘭作家及插畫家.貝•楊笙書中的主要人物。嚕嚕米一家人是童話故事裡的動物，是由嚕嚕米爸爸、嚕嚕米媽媽，還有嚕嚕米所組成的，常被簡稱為嚕嚕米家族。他們一家人和其他人物在九部故事書、連環漫畫、電視卡通，還有一般電影當中一起來經歷一連串的冒險。 這套故事書在芬蘭是經典的兒童文學，而嚕嚕米的連環漫畫在過去也相當受歡迎。然而，真正提升嚕嚕米知名度的，卻是 1990 年代初期在日本播出的一百○四集的嚕嚕米系列動畫。這部關於嚕嚕米異想世界的可愛動畫開啟了嚕嚕米熱潮。 |

The Ocean's Blue Tears 遺世珍珠~夢幻藍眼淚
| The Ocean's Blue Tears 遺世珍珠~夢幻藍眼淚 英倫翻譯 圖文摘自http://www.appledaily.com.tw/appledaily/article/forum/20150106/36310837/TheOcean'sBlueTears There's nothing quite like laying eyes on the blue sea. Seeing the clear, colorful water is a magical experience that is almost beyond words. There are places in the world where the water is not just blue, it is actually glowing. What can make the sea glow bright blue? It is not the forces of magic at work, but plankton, which are small sea creatures. Certain species of plankton have evolved a special defense. Whenever a predator gets too close, they glow. The predator becomes confused or is even scared away. In places like the Maldives, Puerto Rico, and San Diego, California, plankton gather near the shore at night. People watch from the shore, or even set out on kayaks to take in the wonderful sight. As the sunlight fades, the plankton begin to put on their amazing show. 沒有比親眼見到藍色的海更棒的了。一覽那清澈、繽紛的海水是一種難以用任何言語來形容的迷人體驗。世界上有些地方的海水不只是藍，甚至還會發光。 究竟是什麼使海水發出亮藍色的光呢？並不是魔法使然，而是海中的小型生物 —— 浮游生物。某些浮游生物物種已演化出一種特別的防禦機制。每當一有掠食者逼太近時，牠們就會發光。掠食者便會感到困惑或甚至被嚇跑。在馬爾地夫、波多黎各和加州的聖地牙哥等地，晚上時浮游生物會匯集在海岸附近。人們從岸邊觀看或甚至搭輕艇出海欣賞這般奇景。當暮光漸暗時，浮游生物便開始上演牠們的奇幻秀。 |
