文譯
曾有一段時期所有人都是神。然而，他們常將他們的神性視為理所當然，甚至濫用它。眾神統領梵天看到此情況，決定拿走他們的神性並把它藏在永遠找不到的地方。
梵天召開一場眾神會議來幫助他決定藏神性的地方。眾神們建議將神性藏在大地深處，或把它拿到最高的山頂。但是梵天相信人類會挖掘到地底、爬遍每座山，最終找到神性，所以認為兩者都不可行。所以，眾神們放棄了。
梵天想了許久，最後決定把人類的神性藏在他們自身中，因為人類永遠不會想到要在那裡找神性。從那時候開始，人類一直翻山越嶺、挖掘、攀爬、探索，尋找那已存在於自身的事物。

Generally there are two ways to name typhoons: the number-based convention and the list-based convention. Following the number-based convention, typhoons are coded with ___31___ types of numbers such as a 4-digit or a 6-digit code. For example, the 14th typhoon in 2003 can be labeled either as Typhoon 0314 or Typhoon 200314. The ___32___ of this convention, however, is that a number is hard to remember. The list-based convention, on the other hand, is based on the list of typhoon names compiled in advance by a committee, and is more widely used.
At the very beginning, only ___33___ names were used because at that time typhoons were named after girlfriends or wives of the experts on the committee. In 1979, however, male names were also included because women protested against the original naming ___34___ for reasons of gender equality.
In Asia, Western names were used until 2000 when the committee decided to use Asian names to ___35___ Asians’ awareness of typhoons. The names were chosen from a name pool ___36___ of 140 names, 10 each from the 14 members of the committee. Each country has its unique naming preferences. Korea and Japan ___37___ animal names and China likes names of gods such as Longwang (dragon king) and Fengshen (god of the wind).
After the 140 names are all used in order, they will be ___38___. But the names can be changed. If a member country suffers great damage from a certain typhoon, it can ___39___ that the name of the typhoon be deleted from the list at the annual committee meeting. For example, the names of Nabi by South Korea, and Longwang by China were ___40___ with other names in 2007. The deletion of both names was due to the severe damage caused by the typhoons bearing the names.
(A) request (B) favor (C) disadvantage (D) composed (E) recycled
(F) practice (G) replaced (H) raise (I) various (J) female

一般有兩種方式為颱風命名：一個慣例是依據數字，另一個慣例是依據表單。依據數字的慣例，颱風以不同形式的數字進行編碼，例如四位數或六位數的編碼。例如，2003年第十四個颱風可以標作颱風0314或颱風200314號。然而，這個慣例的缺點是數字難以記得。就另一方面而言，依據表單的慣例是以委員會事先編輯的颱風名字表單為依據，較廣受使用。
在一開始，因為當時颱風是以委員會專家的女友或妻子來命名，颱風的名字都是女子名。然而，在1979年，女性以性別平等的理由抗議原本的命名慣例，故颱風的名字也包括男子名字。
在亞洲，西洋的名字一直被用到2000年委員會決定使用亞洲名字來提升亞洲人對颱風的意識。這些名字選自由一百四十個名字組成的姓名堆，委員會十四位成員各選十個名字。每個國家都有它獨特的命名偏好。韓國與日本偏好動物名，而中國喜歡神名，例如龍王與風神。
在這一百四十個名字都按順序使用後，他們將會再被循環使用。但名字是可改變的。如果一個會員國在某個颱風中蒙受重大損失，它可以在年度委員會議中請求把該颱風名從表單刪除。例如，南韓命名的娜比、中國命名的龍王在2007年以別的名字取代。這兩個名字遭刪除即因為該名字的颱風造成嚴重的損失。
(A)要求 (B)偏好 (C)缺點 (D)構成 (E)回收
(F)習慣，慣例 (G)取代 (H)提升 (I)各種的 (J)女性的

The kilt is a skirt traditionally worn by Scottish men. It is a tailored garment that is wrapped around the wearer’s body at the waist starting from one side, around the front and back and across the front again to the opposite side. The overlapping layers in front are called “aprons.” Usually, the kilt covers the body from the waist down to just above the knees. A properly made kilt should not be so loose that the wearer can easily twist the kilt around the body, nor should it be so tight that it causes bulging of the fabric where it is buckled. Underwear may be worn as one prefers.
One of the most distinctive features of the kilt is the pattern of squares, or sett, it exhibits. The association of particular patterns with individual families can be traced back hundreds of years. Then in the Victorian era (19th century), weaving companies began to systematically record and formalize the system of setts for commercial purposes. Today there are also setts for States and Provinces, schools and universities, and general patterns that anybody can wear.
The kilt can be worn with accessories. On the front apron, there is often a kilt pin, topped with a small decorative family symbol. A small knife can be worn with the kilt too. It typically comes in a very wide variety, from fairly plain to quite elaborate silver- and jewel-ornamented designs. The kilt can also be worn with a sporran, which is the Gaelic word for pouch or purse.

【文章中譯】
蘇格蘭裙是蘇格蘭男人所穿的傳統裙子。它是一件量身訂做的裙子，從腰部的一邊開始，繞過前身往背後去，再回到前面圍到腰部的另一邊。在前方的重疊層被稱為「圍裙」。通常蘇格蘭裙覆蓋身體的部分是從腰部以下到膝蓋以上。一件作工良好的蘇格蘭裙不應太寬鬆以至於穿著它的人可以在身上輕易地移動它，也不應太緊以至於造成鈕扣處的布料凸起。內褲則可以依個人喜好穿著。
蘇格蘭裙最特殊的特徵之一是它展現的正方形圖案，也就是方格花紋。每一家族與其獨特的花紋搭配可追溯至數百年前。在維多利亞時代（十九世紀），紡織公司基於商業考量開始有系統記錄和使格子花紋的系統正式化。今日的格子花紋，也有些代表州與省、學校與大學，有些則是任何人都可以穿的普通圖案。
蘇格蘭裙可以搭配配件。在前面圍裙的部分，通常有一個蘇格蘭裙的別針，所以用一個小的裝飾家徽蓋住。小刀也可以搭配蘇格蘭裙。它可以是很多樣性的，從樸素簡單的樣式到相當高雅的銀製和珠寶裝飾的設計均可見。蘇格蘭裙也可以搭配sporran（毛皮袋），也就是蓋爾語皮包或錢包的意思。

Wesla Whitfield, a famous jazz singer, has a unique style and life story, so I decided to see one of her performances and interview her for my column.
I went to a nightclub in New York and watched the stage lights go up. After the band played an introduction, Wesla Whitfield wheeled herself onstage in a wheelchair. As she sang, Whitfield’s voice was so powerful and soulful that everyone in the room forgot the wheelchair was even there.
At 57, Whitfield is small and pretty, witty and humble, persistent and philosophical. Raised in California, Whitfield began performing in public at age 18, when she took a job as a singing waitress at a pizza parlor. After studying classical music in college, she moved to San Francisco and went on to sing with the San Francisco Opera Chorus.
Walking home from rehearsal at age 29, she was caught in the midst of a random shooting that left her paralyzed from the waist down. I asked how she dealt with the realization that she’d never walk again, and she confessed that initially she didn’t want to face it. After a year of depression she tried to kill herself. She was then admitted to a hospital for treatment, where she was able to recover.
Whitfield said she came to understand that the only thing she had lost in this misfortunate event was the ability to walk. She still possessed her most valuable asset—her mind. Pointing to her head, she said, “Everything important is in here. The only real disability in life is losing your mind.” When I asked if she was angry about what she had lost, she admitted to being frustrated occasionally, “especially when everybody’s dancing, because I love to dance. But when that happens I just remove myself so I can focus instead on what I can do.”

Wesla Whitfield是一位有名的爵士樂歌手，有獨特的風格和生活故事，所以我決定去看她其中的一場表演，也為我的專欄做訪談。
我去了一間位於紐約的酒館，看著舞臺燈亮起。在樂團做了開場之後，Wesla Whitfield坐在輪椅上把自己推上了舞臺。當她唱歌時，Whitfield充滿爆發力和熱情的聲音使得在場的每一個人為之動容，幾乎忘記了輪椅的存在。
年已五十七歲，Whitfield嬌小美麗、詼諧又謙虛，堅毅且達觀。Whitfield在加州長大，她十八歲時就開始在公開場合演出，當時她接了一份在披薩店駐唱服務的工作。她在大學修完古典音樂之後，搬到了舊金山，開始和舊金山歌劇合唱團合作。
當她二十九歲時，在她排練完走回家的途中，遭遇亂槍掃射，導致腰部以下癱瘓。我問她如何處理永遠都無法走路的現實，她坦白說一開始她根本不想去面對。之後一年她陷入憂鬱的日子，試圖自殺。她被准許進入醫院接受治療，一個她踏上復原之路的地方。
Whitfield說她了解到在這場不幸中她唯一失去的是走路的能力。她仍然擁有她最珍貴的資產—她的心。她指著自己的頭部說：「所有重要的東西都在這，生命中唯一真正的殘缺是失去心志。」當我問她是否因為喪失而感到憤怒，她承認偶爾會感到挫折，「尤其是當大家在跳舞時，因為我愛跳舞。但是當這種情況發生時，我會轉移自我使我能專注於那些我能做的事。」

Forks trace their origins back to the ancient Greeks. Forks at that time were fairly large with two tines that aided in the carving of meat in the kitchen. The tines prevented meat from twisting or moving during carving and allowed food to slide off more easily than it would with a knife.
By the 7th century A.D., royal courts of the Middle East began to use forks at the table for dining. From the 10th through the 13th centuries, forks were fairly common among the wealthy in Byzantium. In the 11th century, a Byzantine wife brought forks to Italy; however, they were not widely adopted there until the 16th century. Then in 1533, forks were brought from Italy to France. The French were also slow to accept forks, for using them was thought to be awkward.
In 1608, forks were brought to England by Thomas Coryate, who saw them during his travels in Italy. The English first ridiculed forks as being unnecessary. “Why should a person need a fork when God had given him hands?” they asked. Slowly, however, forks came to be adopted by the wealthy as a symbol of their social status. They were prized possessions made of expensive materials intended to impress guests. By the mid 1600s, eating with forks was considered fashionable among the wealthy British.
Early table forks were modeled after kitchen forks, but small pieces of food often fell through the two tines or slipped off easily. In late 17th century France, larger forks with four curved tines were developed. The additional tines made diners less likely to drop food, and the curved tines served as a scoop so people did not have to constantly switch to a spoon while eating. By the early 19th century, four-tined forks had also been developed in Germany and England and slowly began to spread to America.

叉子的起源可追溯至古希臘時期。在那時候叉子是相當大的，有著兩隻叉齒，在廚房裡用來幫助切開肉。叉齒避免肉在割開時翻滾或移動，同時也讓人們在用刀子切開食物時更簡單。
到了西元七世紀的時候，中東的皇室開始在餐桌上用叉子進食。在西元十到十三世紀間，叉子的使用在拜占庭富豪間相當普遍。在十一世紀時，一位拜占庭人的妻子帶叉子到義大利，然而，一直到十六世紀前它們並沒有被廣泛應用。然後到了一五三三年，叉子從義大利被帶到了法國。法國人對叉子的適應同樣也很緩慢，因為使用它們是被視為古怪的。
在1608年，叉子被Thomas Coryate帶到了英國，他在義大利旅行間看到叉子。一開始英國人嘲笑叉子是不必要的。「當神已經給人雙手，為什麼他還需要叉子？」他們這樣問。然而，慢慢地，叉子被富豪們接受且視為他們社會階級象徵。它們是用昂貴材料製成的高級物品，意圖使客人們印象深刻。到了十六世紀中期，拿叉子用餐在英國富豪中被視為是時尚。
早期餐桌上的叉子是以廚房裡的叉子為模型，但小塊的食物常會從兩根叉齒中輕易掉落或滑掉。在法國十七世紀晚期，更大支有四支叉齒的叉子被發展出來。多出的叉齒讓用餐者不易掉落食物，而且彎曲的叉齒被製成勺狀，所以人們在用餐時不用頻頻更換湯匙。到了十九世紀早期，四支叉齒的叉子同樣被推展到德國和英國，也慢慢地開始傳到美國。

Animals are a favorite subject of many photographers. Cats, dogs, and other pets top the list, followed by zoo animals. However, because it’s hard to get them to sit still and “perform on command,” some professional photographers refuse to photograph pets.
One way to get an appealing portrait of a cat or dog is to hold a biscuit or treat above the camera. The animal’s longing look toward the food will be captured by the camera, but the treat won’t appear in the picture because it’s out of the camera’s range. When you show the picture to your friends afterwards, they’ll be impressed by your pet’s loving expression.
If you are using fast film, you can take some good, quick shots of a pet by simply snapping a picture right after calling its name. You’ll get a different expression from your pet using this technique. Depending on your pet’s mood, the picture will capture an interested, curious expression or possibly a look of annoyance, especially if you’ve awakened it from a nap.
Taking pictures of zoo animals requires a little more patience. After all, you can’t wake up a lion! You may have to wait for a while until the animal does something interesting or moves into a position for you to get a good shot. When photographing zoo animals, don’t get too close to the cages, and never tap on the glass or throw things between the bars of a cage. Concentrate on shooting some good pictures, and always respect the animals you are photographing.

動物是許多攝影家的喜愛題材。貓、狗和其他寵物居冠，而後是動物園的動物。然而，因為很難去使牠們坐著不動並「按照命令表演」，一些專業攝影家拒絕拍攝寵物。
要得到貓或狗的好肖像，方法之一是拿著一個餅乾或放在照相機之上引誘。相機會捕捉到動物渴望地看著食物的畫面，但是食物超出相機可拍攝的範圍，故不會出現在照片中。當你將照片展示給你的朋友們之後，他們會對你的寵物可愛的表情感到印象深刻。
如果你使用快速連拍的功能，你可以簡單地在呼喚寵物的名字後按下快門就可以幫它捕捉到一些瞬間的好畫面。使用這種技巧會拍攝到你的寵物不同的表情。隨寵物的心情不同，照片將會捕捉到一個有趣且好奇的表情，或可能是一副惱怒的樣子，尤其是如果你把牠們從小睡中叫醒時。
拍攝動物園動物的照片需要更多耐心。畢竟，你不能把獅子叫醒！你可能必須等待一陣子直到動物做出一些有趣的事或移動到你可以讓你拍出好畫面的位置。拍攝動物園動物時，不要太靠近鐵籠，也絕不要敲打玻璃或是從鐵籠欄杆間丟擲東西。專注於拍攝出一些好照片，也永遠都要尊重你正在拍攝的動物。
