Ichiro Suzuki Makes History 鈴木一朗締造新紀錄
Seattle Mariners’ Ichiro Suzuki made baseball history twice in September. He reached 2,000 hits in his 1,402nd major league1 game, second-fastest only to Al Simmons. Suzuki set another record just a week later by making his 200th safe hit for the ninth season in a row. This beats the previous2 record, which had been held by Willie Keeler since 1901. For both record-breaking3 hits, fans stood up and cheered. Even at thirty-five years of age, Suzuki shows no sign of slowing down his success. Baseball fans and players alike4 expect to see Ichiro Suzuki set new batting records for years to come. 西雅圖水手隊的鈴木一朗在九月時兩次締造棒球歷史 紀錄。他在第 1402 場大聯盟比賽中擊出第兩千支安打， 達成速度僅次於阿爾．西蒙斯。僅僅一週後，鈴木創下另 一項紀錄，打出連續九季以來第兩百支安打。這打破了從 1901 年以來由威利．基勒保持的先前紀錄。在兩次破紀 錄的安打時，球迷都起立喝采。即使現年已三十五歲，鈴 木的成功仍沒有絲毫減緩的跡象。棒球球迷和球員都同樣 期待看到鈴木一朗在未來再創打擊新紀錄。

Pig’s Blood Cake Named Weirdest1 Food 豬血糕為全球怪食物榜首 VirtualTourist.com, a travel Web site, has published2 a list of the world’s ten most unusual foods, and Taiwan’s pig’s blood cake took first place. The list was compiled3 from information given by the Web site’s members and editors. Other foods to make the list were live octopus,4 which is eaten in South Korea, and smelly durian5 fruit. Insects were also on the menu. Cooked or raw Ugandan grasshoppers6 and high-protein Australian grubs7 may make a little pig’s blood seem normal. This list of food clearly shows that taste varies greatly around the world.

Men Lie More
調查顯示男性較常說謊
A poll1 carried out by Fox Entertainment found that men lie almost twice as much as women. Men were more likely to lie about drinking, while women admitted2 more often to lying about shopping. The number one lie for both men and women was, “Nothing’s wrong; I’m fine.” Of course, this poll assumes3 that people always tell the truth about how much they lie. 福斯娛樂公司所進行的一項民意調查顯示男性說謊次數 幾乎是女性的兩倍。男性較常對飲酒問題說謊，而女性則 承認較常為購物而說謊。男女雙方都最常說的頭號謊言是： 「沒問題；我很好。」當然，這項民意調查假設人們對於自 己多常說謊這件事總是誠實以告。

Ultrathin1 Notebooks Fill Niche2 超薄筆電填補客群空缺 Computer makers are releasing “ultrathin” notebooks to fill the gap3 between netbooks4 and standard laptops. The ultrathins will be smaller than normal-sized laptops— under one inch thick and less than five pounds—but will have full-size screens and keyboards.5 While their battery6 life will be longer than standard laptops, the ultrathins won’t have as many features. Ultrathins are ideal for people who want an inexpensive, light computer that can do more than a netbook.

Udaipur, India
（印度．烏代浦爾）
What a surprise! It wasn’t even on the list last year, but this city has so much to offer. Udaipur is known as the “Venice of the East.” Sitting in the desert are lakes surrounded by graceful palaces. One, the pure1 white Lake Palace, rises proudly out of 05
the center of a lake. The water reflectsu the buildings’ walls and makes the whole city seem magical. Udaipur remains2 unspoiled3 by tourism.4 In town, you will discover beautiful traditional5 houses and temples. The peaceful countryside is also worth a visit. The romantic atmosphereu in Udaipur attracts both travelers and lovers. Many of
10
the palaces have been turned into expensive hotels. Not surprisingly, Udaipur is now a favorite wedding and honeymoon destination. It has also quickly become a Hollywood favorite for filming Indian scenes. As this list shows, people are turning away from many of the classic big cities. Now they are looking
15
to more exoticu places for fresh experiences. When †
you step off the beaten path, you don’t know what amazing things you will discover. * 中文翻譯請參閱第 69 頁
