| Cirque du Soleil：A Circus Like No Other 獨一無二的視覺饗宴－太陽劇團 英倫翻譯 圖文摘自http://www.appledaily.com.tw/ Cirque du Soleil, which in English means Circus of the Sun, is a show unlike any other. While most circuses feature animals, there are none to be found in Cirque du Soleil. The Cirque also does not have a ring in which the acts take place. Instead, these highly creative shows present acrobats performing fantastic stunts along with powerful,dramatic music. There are numerous Cirque du Soleil shows based on various themes. One show, named Love, is built around the music of The Beatles, for example. Another Cirque show features Michael Jackson's hits as well as his looks from different stages of his career. Cirque du Soleil 在英文裡的意思為太陽的馬戲表演，是一種與眾不同的表演。雖然大部分的馬戲表演都是以動物為主要特色，但是在太陽劇團裡連一隻動物都看不到。這個劇團也沒有表演節目的環狀場地。這些極具創意的表演呈現給觀眾的反而是雜技演員伴隨強而有力且戲劇效果十足的音樂來表演驚人的特技。太陽劇團有許多表演是以各種不同的主題為依據的。比如說，一場名為「愛」的表演就是以披頭四的音樂為基礎打造的。另外一場太陽劇團的表演是以麥可•傑克森的暢銷歌曲以及他生涯不同階段的造型為主要特色。 |

Morgan’s WONDERLAND 身心障礙人士的天堂 摩根仙境樂園
英倫翻譯 圖文摘自http://www.appledaily.com.tw/ There are theme parks for everyone—those who love fast rides, animals, and even Harry Potter. Now, there is a theme park geared especially to people with special needs called Morgan’s Wonderland. Gordon Hartman opened this one-of-a-kind amusement park in San Antonio, Texas in the spring of 2010. His inspiration for creating the 25-acre park was his daughter, Morgan, who suffers from a condition in which her brain functions with a severe delay. Hartman hated to see Morgan being left out of activities that other children enjoyed. He used his own money and generous donations to create rides and activities specifically designed for those with special needs. A few of the 25 attractions include a water park, music garden, and pirate’s island. 不論您喜歡的是快速刺激的遊樂設施，又或是各類動物，甚至是哈利波特，世上都有各種主題樂園適合每一個人。如今則出現一座專門設計給有特殊需求的人士盡情遊玩的主題樂園，它就叫作摩根仙境樂園。高登•哈特曼在 2010 年的春天，於德州聖安東尼奧市開辦了這個獨一無二的遊樂園。他之所以打造這座佔地二十五英畝的樂園，靈感是來自於他的女兒摩根，因為她遭受一種腦部運作嚴重遲緩的疾病所苦。 在看到摩根無法加入其他孩童、進行他們喜歡的遊戲之時，哈特曼感到心疼不已。於是他便自掏腰包，再加上其他人慷慨解囊的捐款，為那些有特殊需求的人量身打造許多遊樂設施和遊戲。園內有二十五個景點設施，其中一些包括親水公園、音樂花園以及海盜之島。 |
