Hello everybody, and welcome to a new episode of News Bites!
I'm Nancy Sun...
And I'm Paz Bueno.
In today's news:
Liuqiu Island's coral problem, a special racing dog returns, and rats train
to become heroes.
All that and more, coming up next.
________________________________
小琉球的珊瑚問題
Liuqiu Island's Coral Problem
Liuqiu Island (小琉球) is famous for its turtles, its beautiful beaches, and
its coral reefs.
Many local tourists (當地遊客) like to go to Liuqiu because it is a seaside
paradise (海岸天堂).
It has a protected coral area (珊瑚保護區).
And it has fun glass-bottomed boats (玻璃船) you can ride to discover (探索)
more about sea life.
But people who are trying to save the environment (環境) say there is a
problem in Liuqiu.
And that problem has to do with Liuqiu's corals.
這個問題跟小琉球的珊瑚有關。
Some scientists (科學家) have studied Taiwan's coral reefs for 12 years.
They say of all the reefs in Taiwan (台灣所有的珊瑚礁之中), the reefs around
Liuqiu Island are in the worst condition.
In 2020, when the weather was very hot, and there were no typhoons, Taiwan's
different coral reefs were badly damaged (受損).
The corals around Taiwan turned white, including the ones around Liuqiu
Island.
Some of the other corals that turned white, or were bleached (白化), seem to
be better now.
But the ones around Liuqiu Island are still in very bad shape (健康狀況差)
Climate change (氣候變遷) is not Liuqiu's only problem.
The island has too many tourists.
Liuqiu Island is also affected (受影響) by pollution (汙染) from Kaohsiung
and Pingtung.
Some scientists think it is too late to save all of the coral reefs of Liuqiu
Island.
But others say it might still be possible to save a few coral reefs.
Coral experts are asking the government to pass a law to protect the ocean by
2030.
That way, Liuqiu's corals may have a chance to survive (生存).

特別的賽犬成功返家
A Special Racing Dog Returns
Every year, people get together to join the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race
(艾迪塔羅德狗拉雪橇賽).
It's a special race that happens in Alaska.
Dog teams that join the Iditarod need to run for 1,609 kilometers.
The route goes through two mountain ranges (山脈), a frozen river, and next
to the Bering Sea (白令海).
The race is so long, teams of 12 and 14 dogs need up to 15 days to do the
whole race.
比賽路徑很長,12隻和14隻狗組成的雪橇隊需要15天才能跑完全程。
The Iditarod started as a way of testing the dogs to see how far and how fast
they could run.
But it has become a very competitive race.
It can be hard to race in the Iditarod.
It happens in early March, so teams have to travel through snow storms.
The wind chill (風寒) can even reach minus 73 degrees Celsius!
This year's Iditarod was especially sad, because one of the trainers lost his
dog Leon.
The dog disappeared from a checkpoint (中途點).
But Leon has been found safe!
He had travelled more than 240 kilometers from where he got lost, but he was
safe.
The people that found him also said Leon was skinny, but healthy
(瘦弱但仍然健康).
Leon's owner is a man from France.
He needed to go back to Alaska to pick up Leon.
Leon just needs to see a veterinarian (獸醫) to make sure he is okay before
he returns to France.
Maybe someone can write a book about Leon's story someday!

老鼠被訓練成救援英雄
How Rats Train to Become Heroes
Many people might not like rats very much.
But scientists think rats are very smart, and they might be able to help
earthquake victims (受害者) in the future.
Some rats are being trained in Scotland.
During the training, the rats are taught how to wear backpacks with a
microphone (麥克風) , video camera, and tracker (追蹤器).
The rats then go into rubble (瓦礫堆), where they are taught to look for
humans.
The trainers say the rats are very smart.
科學家說老鼠非常聰明。
It only took the rats two weeks to learn how to do this.
If this works, humans will have new partners to work with when earthquakes
happen.

So, in today's News Bites:
Liuqiu Island may be famous for its beaches.
But researchers say the island's coral reefs are badly damaged
Some scientists say the reefs can still be saved, but others say the reefs
are beyond repair.
________________________________
The Iditarod is a challenging dog race that happens in Alaska every year.
This year, one dog disappeared in the middle of the race.
But three months after the race finished, Leon the dog showed up, skinny but
healthy.

Hello everyone, and welcome to a new episode of News Bites!
I'm Paz Bueno…
And I'm Trevor Tortomasi.
In today's news:
A magazine ranks Taipei among world cities, wildfires in Europe, and an
eco-mermaid swimming to raise awareness of pollution.
Stay tuned for these stories and more, coming up next.
________________________________
台北: 全球最宜居住城市第十名
Taipei ranked tenth most livable city in world
Taipei was named the tenth best city in the world for quality of living
(生活品質) by Monocle, a lifestyle magazine from the U.K.
The magazine (雜誌) asked many people to answer questions and selected the
world's top 25 cities.
They asked about cost of living, retail, hospitality, culture and access to
green spaces.
他們問的問題包括生活成本、零售業、餐旅業、文化環境,以及能使用多少綠色空間。
In Asia, only Tokyo finished above Taipei, placing sixth.
The magazine says Taipei is a subtropical oasis teeming with stunning hiking
trails and walkable city streets.
該雜誌說,台北是一個亞熱帶綠洲,擁有迷人的步道和好走的城市街道。
It says Taipei is known for food stalls(小吃攤) that are open 24 hours a day.
It also says Taipei is very safe, and has convenient public transportation.
The article also praised (稱讚) Taiwan for having a great healthcare system
(醫療系統) and low living costs compared to other cities in the world.
The editors highlighted (強調) the many natural places in the city.
But the article also mentions some drawbacks (缺點).
It says people in Taipei need to cross the street more carefully.
And banks need an upgrade (升級) to make it easier for residents and
travelers to manage their money.
________________________________
極端高溫 導致西班牙和德國野火蔓延
Extreme heat causes wildfires in Spain and Germany
There have been wildfires (野火) burning in parts of Europe because of very
high temperatures (溫度).
In many cities in Spain and Germany, the temperatures have passed 38 degrees
Celsius (攝氏38度) for a few days now.
Scientists say climate change is making the weather hotter and hotter.
Spain's worst affected region, near the Portuguese border, the northwest
province of Zamora, was dealing with a very big fire.
西班牙受災最嚴重的地區,是靠近葡萄牙邊界的薩莫拉省,最近才撲滅非常大規模的火災。
More than 500 firefighters were fighting it.
There aren't that many people living in Zamora, but the fire spread to some
areas with homes, forcing (強迫) some people to leave and move to safer
places.
Lightning (閃電) started the fire in Zamora.
Fire has burned more than 61,000 acres, which is the size of about 39,000
football fields!
大火燒毀了超過61,000英畝的土地,大約是39,000個足球場的大小!
Winds and no rain have helped the fires.
As fires moved closer to populated areas (人口稠密地區), the authorities in
Spain have evacuated (撤離) 15 small villages.
Some animals have been evacuated as well.
Many other areas of Europe have also faced very hot temperatures over the
past few days.
In Germany, residents in villages southwest of the capital Berlin (柏林) were
told to move because of fires.
Those living in nearby areas evacuated to a nearby community center.

"生態美人魚"游泳對抗塑膠污染
'Eco-Mermaid' Swims to Fight Plastic Pollution
"Eco-mermaid" Merle Liivand broke her own record for swimming with a single
fin (美人魚鰭).
She swam the distance of a full marathon in the waters of Biscayne Bay,
Florida.
她在佛羅里達州比斯坎灣的水域,游了整場馬拉松的距離。
She even picked up trash as she went.
Ms. Liivand was born in Estonia (愛沙尼亞).
When she was a kid, she had lung problems (肺部問題), so she started swimming
to get stronger.
Ms. Liivand moved to Florida, where she continued swimming in the ocean.
In one training session, she nearly swallowed some plastic that was floating
in the sea.
在一次訓練中,她差一點就吞下一些漂浮在海中的塑膠。
That experience made her think of all the sea animals who face pollution
(污染) every day.
She wanted to work to make people know more of plastic pollution.
She began swimming with a special single swimming fin attached to her feet.
她開始穿著特殊的美人魚鰭游泳。
This rubbery "monofin" allows her to swim by kicking both of her legs
together, like a mermaid.
這種特殊的魚鰭讓她可以像美人魚一樣,用雙腳一起踢水來游泳。
Ms. Liivand set the world record (創下世界紀錄) for swimming with a monofin
in 2019, when she swam 10 kilometers (10公里) off the coast of California
(加州).
Last year, she set a new Guinness World Record (金氏世界紀錄) by swimming 30
kilometers, again in Florida.
Ms. Liivand says she knew she could go farther (可以游得更遠).
So for the last year, Ms. Liivand has been getting up at 4 in the morning
every day, putting on her monofin, and going swimming.
On May 7th, Ms. Liivand broke the record once more, this time swimming the
length of a full marathon (游完全程馬拉松的距離).
It took her 11 hours and 54 seconds to swim 42.2 kilometers.
The water was rough (波浪很大), and she ran into a few problems, but she
didn't stop.
Along the way, Ms. Liivand picked up all the trash she found and put it in
the kayak.
By the end of her marathon, the kayak held three bags full of trash.

Hi there, and welcome to a new episode of News Bites!
I'm Nancy Sun...
And I'm Trevor Tortomasi.
In today's news:
Stinky trees, floating cities, and BTS on break.
All that and more, coming up next.
________________________________
路樹使高雄瀰漫臭味
Skunk Trees Cause a Stink in Kaohsiung
We all know not to bother skunks (臭鼬).
If they are scared or angry, skunks can spray out something very smelly!
But did you know that skunk trees can also make a terrible smell?
Skunk trees (掌葉蘋婆) are tall, with long, pointy leaves.
They grow next to many roads in Kaohsiung.
In the fall and winter, skunk trees grow bright red fruits.
And in the summer...
They get smelly!
During early summer, skunk trees grow reddish flowers.
These flowers smell bad!
In fact, the scientific name for the skunk tree is Stericulia foetida.
The first word "Stericulia" is for the Roman god of bad smells and manure.
The second word "foetida" is from the Latin word for "stink".
And the stinky flowers of the skunk tree can be a big problem, if people live
close by.
The Kaohsiung City government got many reports from people this month.
These people said there was a terrible smell.
Some said it smelled like pig feces (豬糞).
Others said it smelled like a dirty sewer (臭水溝).
City workers went to find out where the smell came from.
And they figured out that the stink came from flowering skunk trees.
高雄市環保局發現臭味來源應該是行道樹掌葉蘋婆。
The city says this smell is natural, and not dangerous.
And the city says there are other trees in Taiwan that also smell bad when
they grow flowers.
Some of these are blackboard trees, fukugi trees, and Formosan nato trees.
其他常見花期會產生異味的行道樹還有黑板樹、福木、和大葉山欖。

馬爾地夫建漂浮城市
Maldives Builds a Floating City
You've heard a lot about climate change.
One of the biggest dangers from climate change, is that sea levels will rise.
If sea levels get too high, some small island countries could disappear.
The lowest country in the world is Maldives.
It is made up of many small islands.
Most of the land in Maldives is about just 1 meter above seawater.
馬爾地夫是島國,土地平均海拔不到1公尺,是地球上地勢最低的國家。
Rising sea levels is a big threat (威脅) to Maldives.
So it has come up with an idea.
It is building a floating city.
20,000 people could live in this city.
It is shaped like coral (珊瑚形狀的), with houses, restaurants, shops and
schools.
And people will not drive cars on big roads.
Instead, everyone will get around the floating city by boat, in canals (水道).
Or they can walk, ride a bike, or use electric vehicles on small streets.
Experts think floating cities may help Maldives deal with higher sea levels.
A floating city would not disappear underwater.
Instead, it would rise with the sea.
All the houses would be attached to the seabed, so they will not float away.
Experts have made sure they do this in a way that will not hurt sea life.
And manmade coral banks will be put on the bottom of all these houses.
These will be good places for coral to grow naturally.
And when coral grows there, it will be a good place for fish and other sea
animals to live.
城市的底部將會養殖珊瑚礁,盡量不傷害大自然。
People can start moving in to the floating city in 2024.
And the whole city will be finished by 2027.

BTS宣布單飛不解散
BTS Takes a Break
BTS is one of the most famous music groups in the world.
Some of their hit songs are "Butter" and "Dynamite".
But the k-pop band says they are now taking a break.
BTS members say they want to take some time to do solo projects.
BTS團員們希望可以用這段時間來各自沈澱、各自發展事業。
The group did not say how long this break would be.
But the seven members say they want to use this time to grow.
Band member RM also told fans on social media, that "this is never the end".
In fact, 28-year-old J-Hope is getting ready to release a solo album
(個人專輯.).
Suga says he will use the time to take lots of classes.
He wants to take dance, vocal, English, Japanese, guitar, keyboard, and
pilates classes.
And Jungkook has recorded a song with American singer Charlie Puth.
Charlie posted a short video on TikTok about the song.
The new single "Left and Right" might come out this month.

Hello everybody, and welcome to a new episode of News Bites!
I'm Paz Bueno…
And I'm Clifford Chu.
In today's news:
Blackpink is coming to Taiwan next year, Brad Pitt forgets peoples' faces,
and koalas are quickly disappearing.
Stay tuned for these stories and more, coming up next.
________________________________
韓國女子團體 Blackpink 即將來高雄演出
K-Pop Group "Blackpink" to Perform in Kaohsiung next March on World Tour
South Korean girl group Blackpink is coming to southern Taiwan-Kaohsiung, in
March, 2023.
The concert (演唱會) is part of their "Born Pink World Tour" (世界巡迴演)
that begins in Seoul on October 15th this year.
The group was formed in 2016 by YG Entertainment, a South Korean
entertainment agency (娛樂機構).
They had their first single album, "Square One", with two popular songs in
2016, and have become famous (有名) since then.
They have set the record for the best-selling album (最高銷售的紀錄) by a
Korean girl group, and was the first to sell more than one million copies.
Blackpink's Kaohsiung concert will be their second appearance (出現/現身) in
Taiwan, after their last performance in Taipei in 2019.
It looks like a very busy year for them, so let's wish them the best of luck!
________________________________
布萊德彼特有臉盲症
Brad Pitt says he suffers from Facial Blindness
Hollywood heartthrob Brad Pitt has revealed he suffers from facial blindness.
好萊屋萬人迷布萊德彼特透露他有臉盲症。
What is facial blindness?
It is a neurological disorder (精神疾病) that causes people to find it
difficult to recognize people's faces.
In more serious cases, sufferers can draw a blank when seeing the face of a
family member or even one's own face.
這是一種精神疾病,會讓人無法認出親友或甚至自己的臉。
The condition is called prosopagnosia (面容失認症).
It is a little-known ailment (病症) that afflicts (折磨) about 1 in 40 people.
It often triggers anxiety (觸發焦慮), as people feel embarrassed in social
situations when they struggle to remember who people are.
Sufferers tend to (傾向) avoid situations in which they will meet people, and
as a result become withdrawn (鬱悶).
58-year-old Brad Pitt says he has not been officially diagnosed with
prosopagnosia.
He first spoke about it in 2013.
He said nobody believed him when he could not recall their name.
He worried that people thought he was being aloof (冷漠), inaccessible
(難以親近的), and self-absorbed (自私的)".
He said, "People hate me because they think I'm disrespecting them."
He said he has used many ways to get around (解決) his lack of recall
(無法記憶).
He asked acquaintances (熟人) where he met them before, but said that made
the situation worse.
He hopes speaking about facial blindness will raise awareness of it.
他希望可以藉由他的表達,讓大家可以更認識這個疾病。
________________________________
無尾熊將要瀕臨絕種
Koala put on Endangered Species List
Many people think koalas are the cutest animals in the world.
Do you think so, too?
Animal lovers will be saddened to hear that this lovable marsupial (有袋動物)
has been moved to the endangered species list (瀕危物種的名單).
The Australian Koala Foundation estimates there are somewhere between 43,000
to 100,000 koalas left in the wild.
澳洲無尾熊基金會估計出,在野外的無尾熊大約剩下四萬三千至十萬的數量。
Their numbers have been dwindling rapidly (快速減少) due to the disease, loss
of habitat (棲息地), bushfires (森林大火), being hit by cars, and other
threats.
Stuart Blanch of the World Wildlife Fund in Australia said, "Koalas have gone
from non-listing, to vulnerable, to endangered, within a decade."
澳洲世界野生動物基金會的Stuart
Blanch表示,無尾熊從沒有到上榜到瀕臨絕種動物的名單只有短短的十年內。
That is a shockingly fast decline.
這是一個非常迅速的變化。
He added that koalas are in danger of "sliding towards extinction (絕種)",
unless there are "stronger laws... to protect their forest homes".
Australia's Environment Minister (澳洲環境理事長) Sussan Ley said there have
been "many pressures on the koala", and that it's "vulnerable (容易受傷的) to
climate change (氣候變化) and to disease (疾病).
She said the 2019-2020 bushfires, which killed at least 6,400 of the animals,
were "a tipping point" (引爆點).

Hi there, and welcome to a new episode of News Bites!

In today's news:
The importance of cybersecurity, the dangers of extreme climate, and clashes
between orcas and boats.
All that and more, coming up next.
________________________________
網絡安全的重要性
Cybersecurity and the Future of Online Security
We all know that the internet is a useful tool (工具).
We can find almost anything we need online.
But can we trust everything on the world wide web?
Nowadays, information about anything can easily be found online at any time.
But this also comes with a level of risk (風險).
In the past few years, the government has reported more and more cyberattacks
(網路攻擊).
A cyberattack is when someone uses computers to get into other computer
systems, usually to do harm (造成傷害).
Cyberattacks can be very dangerous, because machines and computer systems are
a big part of our everyday lives.
So cybersecurity (網絡安全) is now very important.
The government has set a goal of training 350 cybersecurity experts by 2024.
And most companies have cybersecurity experts working for them.
This means there is a big demand for people who know about cybersecurity.
Is cybersecurity something you want to learn more about, or even build your
future career around?
________________________________
極端氣候助傳染病擴大蔓延
Climate Change Helps Infectious Diseases Spread
Do you think that extreme climate affects diseases?
你覺得極端氣候對疾病有影響嗎?
Floods, heat waves, and drought are becoming more and more common (普遍) in
recent years.
They are happening all over the world.
And they are also getting more severe (劇烈).
All this extreme weather makes the impact of diseases even worse (更糟糕).
Infectious diseases like malaria and cholera are already dangerous for people.
像瘧疾和霍亂這種感染性疾病對人們來說已經非常危險了。
And things are worse when they happen in places facing extreme weather.
Experts say more than half of infectious diseases have been made worse
because of extreme climate.
For example, heavy downpours (傾盆大雨) cause flooding.
That flooding leads to more disease-carrying mosquitoes and rats.
And these mosquitoes and rats spread diseases to more people.
But overall, scientists say a lot more research needs to be done, to
understand how extreme climate affects disease.
________________________________
西班牙虎鯨襲擊帆船
Orcas Clash with Boats in Spain
Spain is facing some problems caused by orcas (虎鯨).
Starting in the summer of 2020, orcas, also called killer whales, have been
bothering boats along the coasts of Spain and Portugal.
船隻被虎鯨襲擊的事件在西班牙和葡萄牙鄰近海邊越來越多。
Experts are still trying to understand why.
In mild (溫和的) cases, orcas simply get close to boats.
But in serious cases, orcas interfere (干擾) with the boats.
The most serious case involved an orca pod (一群虎鯨).
An orca pod is like an orca family.
They are usually mothers, daughters, sisters, cousins and their children.
The leader of a pod is usually an older female (母虎鯨).
And one orca pod attacked (攻擊) a sailboat.
There were 5 people onboard the boat.
The damaged boat started to sink (沈船).
Luckily, the navy (海軍) came and saved the 5 people on the boat.
But experts say some of these are not exactly attacks.
The experts say the orcas are just checking unfamiliar (陌生的) things around
their home.
And the experts point out that orcas are social creatures (群體動物).
For now, the scientists are asking people to stay as far away from orcas as
they can.
And they say more research is needed to understand how to protect both people
and the orcas.
