Ebola Puts the World on Edge 伊波拉疫情引發世人關注
| Ebola Puts the World on Edge 伊波拉疫情引發世人關注 英倫翻譯 圖文摘自http://www.appledaily.com.tw/appledaily/article/forum/20150104/36307215/EbolaPutstheWorldonEdge The growing Ebola epidemic has world governments in a state of panic and people everywhere on edge. In March of 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that the latest outbreak of Ebola had been traced back to a two-year old child in Guinea, who died in December of 2013. Since then, the virus has spread to the neighboring nations of Liberia and Sierra Leone, and there have even been a few reported cases in the United States and Spain. As of October 2014, there were more than 10,000 reported cases of Ebola and nearly 5,000 deaths. The WHO, however, believes the actual numbers are much higher. 持續擴大的伊波拉傳染病已使世界各國政府陷入恐慌，並使各地的人們緊張不安。2014 年三月，世界衛生組織公布伊波拉病毒最近一次的爆發要追溯到一個在 2013 年十二月過世的兩歲幾內亞孩童身上。此後，這個病毒已擴散到賴比瑞亞和獅子山的鄰國，而且甚至在美國和西班牙都有一些通報案例出現。2014 年十月時，有一萬多件感染伊波拉病毒的通報案例且將近有五千人死亡。然而，世界衛生組織認為實際數字遠高於此。 |

The Art and Skill of Making Paper Models FUN紙玩藝 ── 百變紙模型
| The Art and Skill of Making Paper Models FUN紙玩藝 ── 百變紙模型 英倫翻譯 圖文摘自http://www.appledaily.com.tw/appledaily/article/forum/20150115/36328472/TheArtandSkillofMakingPaperModels Paper modeling is sometimes referred to as cardboard or paper engineering. If you have ever seen a young child playing with a pop-up book, then you have seen an example of paper engineering. It requires clever designs that allow previously flat pages to change into three-dimensional images. Pop-up books are examples of a kind of publication called moveable books. It is interesting to note that, while moveable books are thought of as being just for kids today, they were originally created for adults. In addition to pop-up books, there are several other kinds of moveable books, including transformations, which use vertical tabs that readers pull to change the scenes. Some books have pages with rotating parts known as volvelles. 紙模型有時候被稱為硬紙板或紙雕塑工程。如果你曾看過小朋友在玩立體書，那你就看過紙雕塑工程的一個例子。立體書需要巧妙的設計使原先平坦的紙張轉變成 3D 形像。立體書屬於可被稱之為可動書的一種出版物。值得注意的有趣地方是，雖然今日可動書是給小孩看的，但是它原先是為成人製作的。 除了立體書之外，還有許多其他種類的可動書，包括讀者拉動垂直拉片來變換場景的變形技法。有些書的書頁設計有可以旋轉的部份，即所謂的轉盤設計。 |

Hayao miyazaki Peaceful masterpieces 龍貓 ·小魔女 ·天空之城 —— 那些年，陪我們一起長大的宮崎駿
| Hayao miyazaki Peaceful masterpieces 龍貓 ·小魔女 ·天空之城 —— 那些年，陪我們一起長大的宮崎駿 英倫翻譯 圖文摘自 http://www.appledaily.com.tw/appledaily/article/forum/20150101/36302387/HayaomiyazakiPeacefulmasterpieces Hayao Miyazaki was born in Tokyo during World War II. His father owned a business, which built airplane parts. When Miyazaki was only three years old, his family was forced to live in an air-raid shelter. The smell of burning buildings, the sound of exploding bombs, and the sight of warplanes flying overhead, all had a great effect on the young boy. As Miyazaki was growing up, he started to draw pictures of his early memories. Before too long, he was attracted to illustrated stories in boy's magazines and manga comics. While he studied the details of the pictures carefully, he read and reread the stories over and over again. This is how Miyazaki learned his storytelling skills. Miyazaki finished school and became an artist in an animation studio. His amazing talent was first noticed while working on Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon . 宮崎駿在第二次世界大戰期間出生於東京。他父親擁有一家事業，專門製造飛機零件。宮崎駿僅三歲時，他們全家被迫住在防空洞裡。大樓燃燒著的氣味、炸彈轟炸的聲音、戰機在頭上飛行的景象等全都對年幼時的宮崎駿有著深遠的影響。長大後宮崎駿開始著手畫下他的兒時回憶。不久，他受到少年雜誌和漫畫的插畫故事所吸引。當他仔細研究圖畫的細節時，他會一再的讀那些故事。宮崎駿就是這樣學習他說故事的技巧。宮崎駿完成學業後成為了一位動畫工作室的畫師。他優異的才華首次在製作《格列佛的宇宙旅行》中嶄露頭角。 |
