你喜歡大自然和小動物嗎？知名繪本彼得兔（Peter Rabbit）的作者碧雅翠斯．波特就是一位非常喜歡大自 然和鄉村生活的人，而彼得兔的原型即是從她童年養的 寵物兔開始的！本期【藝文軼事】單元要介紹「彼得兔 的真實故事」（p. 14）。這裡再提供幾個跟兔子有關的英 文片語。 出自童話故事《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》的 down the rabbit hole 用來描述「陷入令人困惑的處境；對某事 入迷而難以自拔」，例如：Last night, I ended up going down a rabbit hole and spent hours reading about unsolved murders.（結果昨晚我難以自拔、花了數小時 閱讀未破案的謀殺案。） 另外一個片語 pull a rabbit out of a hat 字面上指從 帽子裡拉出一隻兔子，引申指「想出令人驚奇的想法； 使出奇招；做出令人驚訝之舉」，例如：I didn’t think you could do it, but you really pulled a rabbit out of a hat and came up with a great solution.（我本來以為你做 不到，但你確實出人意料提出了一個很棒的解決方法。）
我們的生活離不開音樂，本期【生活情境對話】單 元的「樂器大觀」（p. 44）要來學習樂器的英文。在此 介紹跟音樂相關的片語：be music to sb’s ears 用來表示 「……對某人是中聽的話」，例如：When Susan heard her daughter was going to get married, it was music to her ears.（蘇珊聽到女兒要結婚時，這對她而言是佳音。）， 另一個片語 change one’s tune 則用來表示「改變看法、 改變論調」，例如：Bruce said he’d treat us all to dinner, but when the bill arrived, he changed his tune.（布魯斯 說他要請我們大家吃晚餐，但帳單送來時，他卻改變主 意了。） 關於本期的內容，若你在學習過 程中有任何疑問或建議，歡迎來信到

Reading Skill Builder
無論是閱讀書報或網路文章，學會分辨事實與意見的差異才不會被牽著鼻子走喔！
Distinguishing Facts from Opinions 區分事實與意見 Nonfiction texts often contain a combination of facts and opinions. Facts are based in truth; they can be observed and proven. Opinions are personal beliefs, assumptions, or judgements that aren’t necessarily based in truth. Sometimes a fact and an opinion can be woven together in such a way as to lead the reader to accept an opinion for a fact, or vice versa. It’s important to be able to distinguish between facts and opinions so that we can remain autonomous, make sound judgements, and exercise the ability to think critically when reading. Identifying Facts When we think of facts, we tend to think in terms of data and numbers, such as dates or statistics. The factuality of such information is easy to verify: if the same information can be found in other sources, then it’s likely that the information is a fact. Spot Opinions To spot opinions, look for words and phrases that signal the writer’s values coloring the text. Absolute terms like best, worst, greatest, ugliest, everyone, no one, and the like should alert readers that an opinion is making an appearance. A statement such as: “Seat belts are the best way to prevent injuries in car accidents,” sounds true, but auto-safety experts might disagree. To help with identifying opinions, ask yourself whether a writer’s statement is always true and whether everyone would agree with the idea. Finally, there are statements that are somewhere in between fact and opinion. These statements are based on available evidence, but they haven’t been proven to be true. Such statements often integrate words and phrases like suggest, indicate, and based on, and they’re often used in scientific reporting. * 中文翻譯請參閱第 65 頁

In the 1700s, many average British folks didn’t have the sturdyu tea sets that richer people used. Their thinner cups often shatteredu 20
when boiling liquid was poured inside. Adding milk first helped cool the tea and thus prevented the cups from breaking.

Best friends Luca and Alberto have big plans for a grand adventure. Along with their friend Giulia, the duo1 is all set for an unforgettable 2 summer vacation in the Italian Riviera.

They’ll have to stay one step ahead of the locals, who have a history of hunting sea monsters, if they are to have any hope of preserving their perfect summer.

作為演員，布朗習慣很多時間花在化妝椅上。但令 她驚訝的是，沒有一個化妝品品牌為像她這樣的人打造 產品。因此，在二○一九年，她推出了 Florence by Mills，為一系列專為 Z 世代打造、以零殘忍為榮的美妝 產品。此外，她決定將部分收益捐給一家癌症慈善機構， 以紀念她的朋友奧莉薇亞．希望．洛魯索，她在二○一七 年因癌症過世。
我們想到事實時，經常是想到資料和數字方面，像是 日期或統計資料。這類訊息的真實性很容易查證：如果在 其他來源也可以找到同樣的資訊，那麼這項訊息就很可能 是事實。 看出觀點 要找出觀點，就尋找顯示作者影響文本價值觀的字 詞。確切的詞語像是 best （最好的）、worst （最糟的）、 greatest （最偉大的）、ugliest （最醜的）、everyone （每 個人）、no one （沒有人）等，應該就是在提醒讀者觀點出 現了。像「安全帶是避免在車禍中受傷最好的方法」這個說 法聽起來是真的，但汽車安全專家可能不同意。為了幫助辨 識觀點，你要問問自己作者的陳述是否都是對的，以及是否 每個人都會同意這個看法。 最後，有些陳述介於事實和觀點之間。這些說法是根據 可獲得的證據，但還沒有被證實是正確的。這類的說法常帶 有像 suggest（暗示、表明）、indicate（暗示）以及 based on（根據）等字詞，且常被用在科學報導中。

The Real-Life Tale of Peter Rabbit 彼得兔的真實故事 近一百二十年來，《小兔彼得的故事》一直帶給世界各 地的孩童歡樂。英國作家兼插畫家碧雅翠斯．波特根據童 年的寵物兔而有了這個角色，並利用她在藝術學校習得的 技能來創造這個不朽的角色。但這只是故事的一部分。 這隻叛逆的兔子首次出現在一封給 一名生病男孩的信中，男孩是波特一個 朋友的兒子。為了讓男孩打起精神，波 特寫了有關四隻小兔子的短篇故事，甚 至在信中還包含了漂亮的插圖。男孩非 常喜歡故事和插圖，結果波特最後受到 啟發而試圖將它們出書。

一九○一年，碧雅翠斯．波特自行出版了首刷的《小兔 彼得的故事》。波特確保這些書價格合理，且夠小而適合孩 子手掌大小。此舉大獲成功，她很快就賣光最初的兩百五十 本。出版商嗅到龐大商機，不久就簽約要出版她的書。孩子 們對這些以獨特水彩繪製的插圖以及彼得充滿好奇心的天性 產生共鳴。到了一九○二年年底，這本書已賣了兩萬本。

Matera, European Capital of Culture 馬泰拉——歐洲文化之都 馬泰拉是旅人曾希望去遊覽最不尋常的地方之一。這 座城市擁有數百個洞穴，就位在義大利南部一個俯瞰陡峭 河谷的山坡上。到那裡，你會發現自己在洞穴裡吃飯、在 洞穴裡睡覺，甚至在洞穴裡游泳和洗澡——而且你不會是 第一個這麼做的人！

近來，馬泰拉是過長週末的理想地方，但因為不准車 子通行，所以你應該要做好走很多路的準備！ 馬泰拉最吸引人之處是可追溯至古代的石教堂—— 有超過一百五十座。十三世紀的馬泰拉主教座堂主要特色 是玫瑰窗、五十二公尺高的鐘樓，以及十四世紀《最後審 判》的壁畫。其他必看的包括直接建在巨大岩石中的聖瑪 麗亞伊德里斯教堂，以及最近修復的石窟教堂聖彼得巴里 薩諾教堂，這是馬泰拉市最大的石窟教堂。 另一個著名的景點是地下蓄水池。事實上你可以搭船 穿越這座直接在岩石上雕刻出來的大型蓄水池。由於堅固 的石柱和十五公尺的高度，它看起來就像是一座地下的主 座教堂。 馬泰拉也是當代雕塑美術館的所在地，這是一間舉世 聞名的藝術博物館，以現代的雕塑品在古老如宮殿般的洞 穴建築中展示而聞名。當然，沒有住現代化的石窟飯店， 就不算到過那裡。其中一些飯店甚至還有自己的地下溫 泉。確實，去馬泰拉遊玩是一次難忘的經歷！

Shiny Dishes, Peaceful Mind 洗碗也能沈澱心靈
這裡的洞穴已經有住人超過一萬兩千年，這使馬泰拉 成為世界上第三古老的城市。幾千年以來，人們又加入教 堂、儲藏室、動物的畜欄，以及類似房子的前門和供水系 統。他們在較古老的洞穴上方建造街道，並在中世紀時到 達山頂。
我們當中有許多人認為洗碗是一件苦差事，能越快完 成越好的事。但最近一項研究顯示洗碗可以是練習正念的 簡單方法。正念是讓自己專注於當下的練習，而它實際上 能改善你的心境。
到了十七世紀，馬泰拉已陷入了極度貧窮。義大利人 對當地的情況感到非常震驚。最後，在一九五○年代，馬 泰拉的居民被遷到更好的家園，讓洞穴幾千年來第一次空 無一人。
在這項研究中，研究人員發現專注洗碗的人增加百分 之二十五受到激勵的感覺，並且降低百分之二十七的緊張 程度。練習正念也被證明可以減輕壓力、改善睡眠品質和 降低憂鬱症的風險。
一九八○年代努力要將這些洞穴重建成一個旅遊勝地， 而此舉成功了。馬泰拉古老的石窟石屋（義大利文 Sassi 意 思是「石頭」）區在一九九三年被聯合國教科文組織列為世 界遺產地。二○一九年，該城成為歐洲文化之都。
要在洗碗時體驗這些正念的正面效果，就別讓分散注 意力的想法控制你的大腦。當你注意到大腦開始分心時， 就專注在洗碗的感官體驗上——肥皂的氣味、水溫等等。

試著全神貫注在這個工作上。這可能意味著你得偶爾提醒 自己正在洗碗。
羅瑞： 這比看起來還難。不過我寧可現在多練習。明天 壓力會更大。
正念對洗碗以外的工作也有用，像是摺衣服或掃地。 透過練習正念，做家務的惱人感可能被一種更大的幸福感 取代。而且在這個過程中你會得到更乾淨的房子！

The Labors of Hercules
海克力斯的試煉

海克力斯用他的神力與機智一個接一個地完成任務。他 抓了一隻巨大的野豬、殺死幾隻食人鳥、並且只需一天就把 一位國王的畜欄清洗乾淨，畜欄裡有成千上萬隻牲畜。他將 兩條河改道經過畜欄來完成此事。 然而，尤瑞瑟斯對海克力斯的工作成果不滿意，於是派 給海克力斯任務要他把守護冥界大門的三頭犬帶來。為了完 成此事，海克力斯去找冥界之神黑帝斯，黑帝斯在一個條件 下借他三頭犬：海克力斯不得用任何武器來馴服那隻野獸。 海克力斯用他的力量將那隻狗搏倒在地、將牠制伏。當尤瑞 瑟斯看到宙斯之子扛來那隻可怕的生物，他立刻解除了海克 力斯的服役，海克力斯終於完成了他的試煉。

The History of Common Fabric Patterns 常見布料花紋的歷史 有些時尚風格年年都在變；有些 幾世紀以來都持續受歡迎。我們每天所見 最普遍的一些織品圖案背後的歷史是什麼呢？ 動物印花 從虎斑到豹紋，動物皮毛的圖案在歷史上都一直有 被穿戴。古埃及的藝術展現出穿著豹紋禮服的婦女。在非 洲，祖魯王室傳統上會穿著豹紋作為社會地位高的象徵。 豹紋進入西方時尚時，它以兩種非常不同的方式為人 所接受。時裝設計師克里斯汀．迪奧在一九四七年的時裝 秀上首次展出了豹紋，象徵豹紋進入了高端時尚界。但在 電影裡，豹紋常用來顯示穿著者是低下階級。今天，豹紋 可以傳達財富、品味差或獨立自主。 條紋 從歷史上看，橫條紋讓人聯想到那些不容於社會的 人。歐洲法律要求犯人穿條紋服裝；清楚的寬紋讓這些人 更容易被辨認出來。到了十八世紀，條紋已變得普遍，儘 管它們仍是叛逆者和想要發表大膽聲明者的「制服」。而細 條紋（細的直條紋）自從問世以來已成為男性時尚不可或缺 的元素。

UK Turns to Birth Control to Contain Gray Squirrels 英國灰松鼠節育大作戰 英國政府支持一項用口服避孕藥來控制灰松鼠數量的 計畫。這個想法目標在解決這些看似無害生物所造成的嚴 重環境問題。 灰松鼠在一八七六年從北美引入英國。牠們散布全 國各地、剝咬幼齡樹的樹皮而開始對森林造成危害。灰松 鼠對樹木的破壞已對政府對抗氣候變遷的努力產生負面影 響，包括開闢新的森林。此外，透過傳播有害的疾病和爭 奪食物，灰松鼠也幾乎快讓紅松鼠（英國唯一本土種的松 鼠）滅絕。 根據一個政府機關的說法，避孕法可以減少多達九成 的灰松鼠。避孕藥將透過放置在特殊餵食站的榛果醬餌裡 來投藥。不出所料，為松鼠節育的想法一直有所爭議。然 而，相較於另一個選擇：殺死入侵者，這是比較人道的解 決方法。
格紋最早來自蘇格蘭，這種格紋在那裡被稱為格子 呢。格子呢是蘇格蘭文化的象徵，已存在至少三千年了。 格子呢的某些顏色和花紋具有區域性的意義，而十八世紀 蘇格蘭叛軍所穿的引以為傲的特有服裝則是以格子呢布料 製成。最後，蘇格蘭人以新移民的身分帶著他們的格子呢 到了美國。這些移民中有許多人在戶外從事伐木工作。因 此，戶外工作不久就讓人聯想到格紋。到了一九七○年 代，格紋已成為一種受歡迎的圖案，現在幾乎在每個人的 衣櫥裡都可以找到。 圓點花紋 在中世紀，在布料上產出均勻分布的點幾乎是不可 能的。此外，布滿點的布料有大小不一的點會讓人想到皮 膚病。十九世紀中葉，縫紉機一能夠可靠地製作出整齊畫 一的圓點花紋，這種圖案就流行了起來。圓點花紋在西方 以外有較正面的聯想，為非洲服裝習俗及傳統佛教和印度 教設計圖樣的主要特色。如今，常見的圓點花紋與每樣東 西，從普普藝術到米妮鼠都有關聯。 買衣服不一定無聊。既然你知道了這些常見布料圖案 的起源，那麼它甚至可能具有教育意義！

停格動畫的藝術
Luca 《路卡的夏天》
你可能聽過一個叫做《天竺鼠車車》的日本電視節目。 這個節目是以可愛的天竺鼠車車進入各式各樣瘋狂的情境 作為主要特色。除了迷人的角色之外，人們也喜愛這個節 目奇特的動畫風格（稱為「停格動畫」），而這項技法有著 悠久且有趣的歷史。
路卡和阿爾貝托兩位摯友計劃要展開一次偉大的冒 險。和他們的朋友朱莉雅一起，這雙人組準備要在義大利 利古里亞海岸區度過一個難忘的暑假。只有一個問題：路 卡和阿爾貝托背地裡是來自海底世界的海怪，且一旦打濕 就會變回他們自然的形態。隨 著這兩位男孩了解友誼的真義 並發現真實自我，他們必須竭 盡所能努力隱藏自己的秘密。 如果他們希望保留完美的夏 天，他們得比擁有狩獵海怪歷 史的當地人領先一步。這個邁 向成年的故事是皮克斯（製作 《靈魂急轉彎》和《玩具總動 員》等熱門影片的動畫工作室） 的最新電影作品。
在停格動畫影片中，角色是用模型、木偶或玩具來展 現。動畫師將它們擺成想要的安置方式、拍照、微調每個物 體的安置方式、再拍照，然後重複這個過程。當所有這些照 片依序擺好時，物體看起來就像在移動。最早使用這個技法 是在一八九八年一部名叫《矮胖子馬戲團》的短片中。 在早期的好萊塢，影片導演開始混合停格動畫與真 人實境來創造出（在當時）令人驚豔的特效。舉例來說， 一九二五年的奇幻電影《失落的世界》就主打駭人的停格動 畫恐龍在追逐真人演員。確實，那些革命性技法的幕後策 劃者——動畫師威利斯．歐布萊恩——接著將創造出可能 是世界上最有名的停格動畫怪獸：一九三三年《金剛》片中 的大猩猩。
Integrated Question 解答 B JUN 30 到了一九九○年代，停格動畫被用在所有事物中，包 括電影、電視廣告及音樂錄影帶。像瑞士的黏土動畫系列 《企鵝家族》這樣的節目就以其討喜的角色與風格來迷倒 觀眾。然後突然間，一切都改變了。電腦生成的特效開始 真正流行起來。導演們熱切想要探索這項尖端科技的可能 性，很快就把停格動畫一腳踢開。雖然九○年代有好幾部 傑出的停格動畫電影上映（例如《聖誕夜驚魂》），但皮克 斯的 3-D 動畫賣座片《玩具總動員》才是定義那十年的動 畫電影。 有超過十年的時間，停格動畫大多退流行了。然而

While laptops are getting cheaper, too, they’re still pretty pricey at around $700. For this reason, I think tablets are where our company should be putting its focus.
