An Arctic Fox's Amazing Journey
Hey, what's up, everyone?
Oh, excuse me just a moment. I'm just going to have a glass of water. ……
Ahhh! Hmmm… my ice cubes are almost gone. 冰塊幾乎沒了...
Ice melts when it's warm, right? And when ice melts, it turns into water.
冰融化了變成水 對不對?
And you know where there's lots of ice... 你們知道哪裡都是冰嗎? The North and
South Poles! 北極跟南極!
But did you know, the ice, just like in my glass of water, is melting?...
That's right, 那邊的冰正在融化了.
This has an effect on some animals too.
Like, did you hear the story about the young arctic fox?

America! 3,500 kilometers!
That's a long way! 從挪威到加拿大! Wow! 真的是好遠喔!

The little fox walked on ice and crossed frozen seas to get there!
牠走在結冰的海上! Brr!
I hope she had some nice warm clothes... maybe a hat... 希望牠有記得穿外套,
戴帽子... Wait, do foxes wear hats? Ha! Of course not.
They have their own thick, natural fur coat to keep them nice and warm.
狐狸當然不會戴帽子拉! 牠的毛夠溫暖. Good job, little fox!
But why did the little fox leave home? And why did the fox go so far away?
Scientists think it's because the fox's home is changing. It's melting, just
like my ice cubes.. And It's melting because the earth is warming up… and
that's a bad thing… it means animals are losing their homes 地球暖化
有些動物的家不見了.
But there is something we can do... We can help by saving energy! So when
you're not watching TV, turn it off! Leaving the room? Hit that light switch!
And when you throw away trash, please remember to recycle! 記得要省電.

921 Earthquake
Narrator: 地震! Hurry up, take cover! ………Phew … is everyone all right?
Thank goodness everyone is all right. 我最不喜歡地震了。 And that was a big
one!
But it still wasn't as big as the 921 Earthquake.
Have you heard of the 九二一大地震? The 921 Earthquake was one of the biggest
earthquakes to ever hit Taiwan.
That earthquake happened on September 21, 1999.
That means it happened exactly twenty years ago. 剛好20年前發生
It was a magnitude 7.3 earthquake, which means it was a very, very strong
earthquake!
It was was so strong that it knocked down power lines in Taiwan,
然後全台灣就大停電! There was a blackout!
The blackout lasted a long time. There was no electricity for days.
我們過了好多天都沒有電,都停電了During the day people could not turn on their
fans or air conditioners, so everyone was very sweaty under the hot sun.
晚上沒有電,白天也沒辦法開電扇或冷氣,大家都熱得汗流浹背!
And at night, there was no electricity for lights, so everything was very
dark.
Sadly, more than two-thousand people were also killed in the earthquake.
And thousands of buildings were damaged.
…….Uh oh, aftershock!........
Everyone still ok? That was just an aftershock. That is when the ground
shakes again after an earthquake.
Hopefully there won't be any more aftershocks. 拜託不要再來餘震了!
Anyway, the 921 Earthquake was a terrible thing to happen, but experts are
studying how we can be ready for other earthquakes in the
future.未來如果我們能預測地震的話, 我們就可以先準備了
And hopefully, we will be!
Vocabulary
