OIL SPILL A DISASTER FOR GULF

墨西哥灣油汙造成生態浩劫 (我會翻成：墨西哥灣的漏油災害事件)



When an oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico,it left over 200,000 gallons of oil leaking into the water every day.

ENTERING THE AGE OF ZETTABYTES

數位資訊爆炸 ZB時代將至 (我會翻成：邁入ZB的時代)



With every new Facebook status, test message, or photo posted online, you are adding to the world digital content.

Each small information exchange adds up,

and it is believed that this year the world will have more than one zettabyte of information.

That is equal to a million million gigabytes.

There seems to be no end in sight for this rapid growth.



隨著每一次的臉書狀態、文字訊息或圖片上傳，你都正在增加全球的數位內容

每項小小的訊息轉換都會被累積加總，相信今年全球的資訊量會超過1ZB

而那等於1兆GB！

目前這種迅速的成長並無停止的跡象





BABIES HAVE MORALS

嬰兒也有善惡道德觀念



Contrary to popular belief, babies may not be blank alstes.

Through experiments on children as young as six months old,

scientists at Yale University have shown that very young children have a sense of right and wrong.

They can judge the actions of others,respond to nice and mean behavior, and have some sense of justice.



跟大眾認知相反的，嬰兒可能並非是一張白紙

根據耶魯大學的科學家透過對最小六個月的孩子們所做的實驗，顯示很年幼的孩子有是非觀念

他們可以判斷別人的行為，對他人的善行和惡行做出反應，並擁有某些正義感


=============================================================

新增的這個分類：每日英語教室

並非是要給各位上課，也不是要炫耀自己英文能力有多好

而是希望藉由這種方式，讓自己養成每天都唸英文的好習慣，而且不但有唸，還有寫出來

如果有興趣的朋友也可以拿來讀一讀

雖然我是很想寫出音標，但這部分恐怕有些困難(我自己在雜誌上是寫滿滿的啦.....XD)

此外，每段文章後面我都會寫上中文翻譯，但怕影響到各位的閱讀，所以我都反白了

當然啦，我是期許自己可以一直這樣寫下去

未來或許會做些調整，但之後的事情就以後再說吧

在此也順便問一下，有沒有誰是英文達人....？這樣以後我好找人來問啊.......
