烏克蘭總統獲選為2022年度風雲人物
Ukrainian President Honored as Person of the Year 2022
One of the names I'm sure you've heard of this year is Volodymyr Zelensky
(澤倫斯基).
Ukraine's President has been named 2022 Person of the Year by the US TIME
magazine (2022年度風雲人物).
He won the title, along with "The Spirit (精神) of Ukraine."
On February 24th, Russia launched a military occupation (軍事佔領) of Ukraine.
Zelensky stayed in the capital Kyiv in the face of Russia's invasion (侵略).
His response to the Russian invasion has made him a household name
(家喻戶曉的人).
He delivers daily speeches and his audience (觀眾) has grown around the
world.
TIME magazine's cover shows the ex-comedian wearing his iconic green fatigues
(迷彩服).
The article also shows pictures of Ukrainian people representing (扮演) the
Spirit of Ukraine.

保育工作正在助長賽普勒斯的烏龜數量
Conservation work helping Turtle population in Cyprus
Turtle populations are making a comeback (再創高峰) in Cyprus.
That's all thanks to conservation efforts by volunteers (志工).
The Republic of Cyprus is an island country in the Mediterranean Sea (地中海).
Military and civilian volunteers there have been working hard to protect the
environment.
They supervise nesting beaches (棲地) and look out for turtle tracks
(烏龜行蹤) every day in the summer.
Volunteers also report about human activities along the beach.
Things like camping and lighting bonfires at the beach can be damaging (危害)
to turtles.
So far, their hard work has paid off (他們的付出有了回報).
The number of turtles on beaches on Cyprus has been increasing.
They say some 172 green and loggerhead turtle nests were identified.
The volunteers are making sure the turtles have a safe place to lay eggs.
That way they can continue to live and thrive.
