First Grammy Award for Poetry
Today is World Poetry Day! It's a great day to read your favorite poetry.
今天是世界詩歌日!
What is poetry? It's a special way of speaking. It is like a song, but you
don't need to sing it. You can just say it. That's why poetry is kind of like
music.
詩歌是一種特別的說話方式。它像一首歌,但你不用唱,只要念就好了。
In the USA, there's a big award for music. It's called a Grammy. Every year,
the people who make the best music get a Grammy.
美國有一個音樂大獎,叫做葛萊美獎。每一年,創作最佳音樂的人都會獲得一座葛萊美獎。
So, can poetry get a Grammy Award? For a long time, it could not. Many people
said poetry was not music.
詩歌可以得葛萊美獎嗎?以前不行,因為很多人說詩歌不算是音樂。
But this year, it's different. Now there is a Grammy Award for poetry. The
winner was a poet named J. Ivy.
但是今年不一樣了,葛萊美頒發了詩歌獎,今年的贏家名叫 J. Ivy。
J. Ivy felt proud when he won the award. He thanked his high school English
teacher, and then he told a story.
J. Ivy 覺得很自豪。 他謝謝他的高中英語老師,還說了一個故事。
When J. Ivy was in high school, he was shy. Still, the teacher saw he was
talented. She told him to write a poem and read it to his class.
J. Ivy
高中的時候很害羞,但是老師仍然看出他的才華,請他寫一首詩,朗讀給全班聽。
At first, he was nervous. But when he read his poem, everyone loved it. That
was years ago. Now, his poetry has won a Grammy!
他原本很緊張,但大家都很喜歡他的詩。現在他的作品獲得了葛萊美獎。
J. Ivy has shown everyone that poetry is music.

高雄學童新發明 榮獲創新發明金牌
Kaohsiung Elementary Students' Win Gold for Innovative Invention
When drivers on the road hear this sound, what should they do?
The answer is…move out of the way (讓開)!
But sometimes it can be hard for drivers to know what direction (方向) an
ambulance (救 護 車) is coming from.
That's why a group of talented young inventors (發明家) from Aiguo Elementary
School in Kaohsiung City created a "Vehicle Position Warning System"
(車輛方位警示系統) to make roads safer for ambulances.
This amazing invention (發明) won the gold medal (奪金牌) in the 2023
International Exhibition for Young Inventors Taiwan Contest!
This group of fifth-grade students, including Xie Rutin, Zhang Fangyu, and
Shi Yuntong, worked together under the guidance of their teachers
(在老師的指導下).
They designed a system that uses special technology called RFID, which helps
to show the direction of an ambulance at intersections.
他們設計了一個使用 RFID 技術的系統,可以顯示救護車在路口的行進方向。
This lets drivers and pedestrians (行人) to quickly and safely yield (讓路)
to the ambulance.
And it helps to prevent accidents (有助於防止事故發生).
The school's principal says the invention was inspired by the students' daily
observations and their concerns for the safety of ambulances on the road.
校長說這項發明的靈感來自於學生的日常觀察,以及他們對路上救護車安全的擔憂。
He praised (稱讚) the students for their thoughtful and innovative ideas.

工人掉進攪拌器 巧克力工廠被罰款
Chocolate Factory Fined Over After Workers Fall Into Mixing Container
A chocolate factory in the US state of Pennsylvania (美國賓夕法尼亞州) got
into big trouble in June 2022.
Two workers fell into a big container (容器) of chocolate!
These workers were hired to clean the containers, but they didn't get the
right safety training (安全訓練).
Thankfully, it wasn't full of chocolate when the two workers fell in.
But there was still enough that they got stuck inside the container.
但是仍然有足夠的巧克力讓他們卡在容器裡。
The rescuers had to cut open a hole at the bottom of the container to free
the workers.
One worker was hurt, and had to be taken to the hospital by helicopter
(直升機).
Now, a safety organization called the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, or OSHA, is saying the accident was "serious."
現在,職業安全與健康管理局表示這起事故【很嚴重】。
After almost a year of investigating the incident, OSHA decided to fine
(罰款) Mars Wrigley, the company that owns the factory.
They had to pay a fine of more than $14,500 US dollars because of the
accident.

豪華郵輪鐵達尼號 前所未見影片公諸於世
Never-Before-Seen Footage of Titanic Released
Everyone's heard of the Titanic, right?
It was a big and fancy cruise liner (又大又豪華的郵輪), and people at the
time called it the safest ship in the world.
But while the Titanic was making its first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean
(大西洋) in 1912, it hit a big iceberg (大冰山).
The iceberg made a huge hole in the side of the ship and water started
pouring in (湧入).
The ship sank and…it became a tragedy that shocked the world.
船沉了... 成了震驚世界的悲劇。
Around 1,500 people lost their lives (喪生).
Scientists have been studying the Titanic for many years.
And now, they are going to share 80 minutes of never-before-seen (前所未見的)
video of the Titanic!
The video was recorded in 1986 by a group from the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution and a French ocean exploration team.
這段影片是 1986 年由伍茲霍爾海洋研究所的一個小組和一個法國海洋勘探隊拍攝的。
They found the Titanic in 1985, deep in the ocean, 3.6 kilometers down. (3.6
公里深).
The video was taken by a team of three divers (潛水員).
And it's being shared to celebrate the 25th anniversary (25 週年) of the
famous movie "Titanic."
