Charity Shop Finds Mystery Card
Today is Valentine's Day! A day for love. Some people love chocolate, they
want to eat it all the time! Some people love their pets… but they don't
want to eat them!
愛有很多種,有人愛巧克力,有人愛寵物。
Some people love helping others. A great way to do that is to donate. That
means giving your stuff away for free.
還有人愛幫助別人。這些人會去捐東西。
Charity shops are where you can donate your stuff. They sell it, and use the
money to help good causes.
你可以把東西捐給慈善商店。他們會把東西賣掉,用賺來的錢幫助其他人。
In the UK, someone donated an old bag full of stuff to a charity shop. They
found a mystery Valentine's Day card!
在英國,有一個人捐了滿滿一袋東西給慈善商店,結果他們找到一個神秘的情人節卡片!
In the card was a beautiful poem, and a photo of a woman and her three
children. The end of the poem says: "From the person that loves you more than
anything else in the world". Awwww!
卡片上面有一首詩,還有一個媽媽跟三個小孩的一張照片。詩的結尾寫說:「愛你勝過一切的人敬上」。
The card was written for the woman in the photo, but no-one knows who she is!
這張卡是給照片裡面的媽媽的,但沒有人認識他。
The photo is black and white, so they know the card must be very old. It will
be hard to find the woman, or her family. But it will make her so happy to
see the card again!
因為照片是黑白的,所以一定是很久以前的,要找到人應該很難,但如果她真的收到了,一定會很開心!
The things we do for love…

Well hello there! You're listening to News Bites!
I'm Trevor Torto...
And I'm Paz Bueno.
Whoah, how is your English so good?
Okay, let's look at today's stories:
A dog wins the lottery, an asteroid misses Earth, and people find a needle in
a haystack.
More on that, coming up next!

狗來富! 中獎百萬樂透
Taiwan Dog Helps Win $1 million NT Lottery
What sound does a dog make?
Well, if you speak English, you might think your dog says, "Bark!" or "Ruff!"
And if you speak Spanish (西班牙文), you might think dogs say, "Guau! Guau!"
And if you're a Chinese speaker, your dog could be saying, "Wang! Wang!"
【汪!汪!】
So for one Taiwanese couple (情侶), that was the right word, at the right
time...
This couple was walking by a lottery shop, when they heard a dog barking.
當這對情侶路過彩券行時,突然聽到一隻狗在汪汪叫。
They said the dog's 【汪】 sounded just like 【旺】, like in the word
【興旺】, which means "prosperity" and "good fortune".
So, they decided to buy a lottery ticket (大樂透)...
And they won 1,000,000 NT (一百萬台幣)!
That's some really good 【興旺】!
*cow moo*
Okay, it might be time to mooooove on to the next story...

小行星幾乎撞到地球
Asteroid Almost Hits Earth
Hey, remember dinosaurs?
Me neither (我也不記得)... because they've been gone for millions of years!
恐龍好幾千萬年前就消失了!
And that's because a giant asteroid (巨大的小行星) hit Earth.
It was about 10 kilometers wide (寬度十公里)!
Pretty scary, huh?
Well, another one almost hit us again!
On January 27th, at around 8:30 AM, an asteroid flew just 3,000 kilometers
from Earth (離地球只有三千公里), and then back out into space.
That's closer than some satellites!
這種距離,比一些人造衛星更接近地球!
Luckily, the asteroid was only about five meters wide.
還好這個小行星,寬度只有五公尺。
But an asteroid this size, coming this close to Earth, is still pretty rare.
不過這種尺寸的小行星..這麼接近地球,其實很罕見。
And the scary thing is, scientists only found this asteroid a few days before
it came close.
Space is big and dark, and it's difficult to find these tiny space rocks.
The smallest ones are okay, because if they come close, they burn up (燒掉)
before they hit the ground.
And we don't have to worry about the biggest asteroids, like the one that hit
the dinosaurs...
Because thanks to lots of math (數學計算), we know they aren't going to hit
us (讓我們知道它們不會撞上地球).
But what about the medium ones?
Well, we'll have to keep watching... and doing our math homework!

輻射小物失蹤記
Tiny Radioactive Object Goes Missing
Have you ever heard the words, "looking for a needle in a haystack"
(在乾草堆裡面找一根針)?
In Chinese, you might say 【大海撈針】。
It means you're looking for something REALLY tiny and difficult to find
(又小又難找), like a needle (針), inside something REALLY big, like a
haystack (乾草堆).
Well, today's "needle" is a small metal object (一小塊金屬的東西)...
And today's haystack is... 1,400 kilometers of road in Australia
(澳洲一條長一千四百公里的公路)!
A few weeks ago, a truck (卡車) was driving along this long road in Western
Australia with a tiny object called "Caesium-137" (銫-137元素), which is very
radioactive (很強的放射性).
If something is radioactive, that means it's very dangerous, because anyone
who gets close to it will get very sick.
放射性的東西很危險,人如果太靠近,會對身體有害。
But, when this truck finally got to the end of the long road...
This tiny radioactive object was gone!
People said it must have fallen off the truck, onto the road...
And they were very worried that people driving over it could get sick, too.
So they drove up and down, back and forth, along one thousand kilometers of
road, over and over again...
Looking for this tiny thing, even smaller than a coin (比硬幣還更小).
And finally, after six days, they found it, right by the side of the road.
搜索人員整整找了六天,沿著一千多公里的路開過來開過去,終於找到了這個小東西。
People say we're really lucky to have found this needle in such a giant
haystack.
But we should really be more careful with our needles!

Luckily, this one was only about five meters wide, but scientists say we

A tiny radioactive object fell off of a truck onto a long road in Australia.
Radioactive objects are very dangerous, so they wanted to find it before it
made anyone sick.
And after six days of searching, they finally found it!
