時光飛逝，轉眼新的一年又到來，今年你是怎麼慶 祝新年的呢？世界上許多地方慶祝新年的方式都跟食物 有關，本期的【節慶文化】單元「新年快樂，從暖胃開 始！」（p. 10）要帶你來瞧瞧西班牙、義大利、荷蘭和日 本人在新年時會吃什麼食物來送舊迎新。 許多國家跨年活動的重頭戲就是精彩的煙火表演， 但你知道煙火是怎麼從鞭炮一路演變到今天的模樣嗎？在 「璀璨煙火知多少」（p. 46）中，我們要從起源、發展、 節慶、環保等不同面向來探討煙火。在翻開本單元前，先 告訴你 fireworks 這個字除了指「煙火（常用複數形）； 煙火表演」外，還可指「怒氣爆發、情緒激動」，例如： There were a few fireworks, but the debate was mostly civil. （這場辯論有一些激烈的爭辯，但大部分都很客氣。） 說到煙火，這次就來介紹幾個跟 fire 有關且可以直 接中英文對譯的用語。第一個是「火上加油」，英文說法 可直譯為 add fuel to the fire，在英式英文中也可以說 add fuel to the flames，兩者都是指「讓狀況更加惡化、變得更 糟」。例如：The media have added fuel to the fire, and the public is extremely angry. （媒體火上加油，而民眾極為憤 怒。）第二個「玩火」，英文就是 play with fire，除了字面
意思，還可指「冒險做蠢事；從事危險行為；鋌而走險」 。 比如說：You’re playing with fire if you lie to your wife.（如 果你對太太說謊，你就是在玩火自焚。） 「搧火」可以讓火燃燒得更強烈，這時英文為 fan a fire，但若是說 fan the fires （英式英語中用 fan the flames）呢？這火豈不是燒得更烈了嗎？沒錯，這就是指 「搧風點火、火上加油、蠱惑人心」，與 add fuel to the fire 意思相近，不過 fan the fires 較常用於讓對方更憤怒、 行為更火爆等情緒方面的情況。還有一個也不怎麼好的用 語 fight fire with fire，字面義為「以火攻火」，其實就是 「以牙還牙；以其人之道還治其人之身」的意思。 雖然這次我們介紹了幾個帶點負面意思的用語，但 其實只是要讓大家瞭解對於人類有共同體驗的事物，即使 在不同語言中也會有相似的說法。關於本期的內容，若 你在學習過程中有任何疑問或建議， 歡迎使用手機掃描 QR code，立即填寫回函： 歡迎來信到 live_editor@liveabc.com， 或掃描右方 QR code 填寫回函問卷，祝 你學習愉快！ 《Live 互動英語》編輯部敬上

Visualizing text is when we create pictures in our minds based on what we read. This skill can help students better understand the text they are reading by encouraging stronger engagement with the words to create mental images. Visualizing text can provide a richer reading
experience, and it can help readers recall the information they have read for longer periods of time. To practice this skill, look for phrases that contain descriptive language or strong verbs. These passages lend themselves to creating vivid images. * 中文翻譯請參閱第 71 頁

餅乾驚喜
你真是太貼心了！你真的讓我非常開心！ That’s so thoughtful of you! You’ve really made my day! be Adj. of sb 用來描述某人具有的特質，而形容「人很友善、人很 好」還可以這麼說：

樂於助人的同事
這對我來說意義重大。 It really meant a lot to me. mean 在此表示「（某事）對……意義重大、很重要」，相反地，表示「無關 緊要」就可以說 sth means nothing to sb。

Dream Big: Jeff Bezos’s Road to Space 夢想遠大：傑夫．貝佐斯的太空之路 亞馬遜是世界上最大的公司之一，但很少有人對創辦 人傑夫．貝佐斯知之甚詳。今天，他是世上最富有的人之 一，而他是經過努力才獲得成功的。 貝佐斯的母親在兒子出生時還在念高中，因而常帶著 他去上夜校。在年輕時，貝佐斯曾花時間幫忙家裡牧場的
事務。由於祖父的關係（他曾在政府科學機構工作），他在 那裡迷上了科學、工程學以及太空旅行。 貝佐斯在母親鼓勵下在學校用功讀書，他畢業於普林 斯頓大學，獲得了工程學以及電腦科學的學位。雖然他獲 得好幾間知名科技公司的工作機會，但他選擇了一個提供 較高薪水、財務方面的職位。他知道他需要很多錢才能實 現上太空的人生夢想。 一九九四年，貝佐斯在快速成長的網路產業中看到了 一個機會。他不顧一切、辭掉成功的財務工作，然後開了 一間名為「亞馬遜」的網路書店。
Integrated Question 解答 1.

Big Ben Is Back!
大笨鐘回來了！
如果你正計畫要去倫敦旅行，別錯過去看大笨鐘的機 會。這座世界上最著名的鐘因整修而消聲五年後準備好要 再次鳴響了。這裡有一些有趣的事實，來為你的參觀做好 準備。 為什麼它稱為「大笨鐘」？ 人們通常用 Big Ben 來指整座鐘樓，但「大笨鐘」 其實是該鐘之中最大的鐘的暱稱，正式名稱為「大鐘」 （Great Bell）。這個暱稱可能來自班傑明．豪爾爵士，他 協助興建了與鐘樓相連的國會大廈。 它是何時建造的？
地方。最後一次使用是在一八八○年，當時一名英國大臣 拒絕手按《聖經》發誓效忠維多利亞女王。 運氣好的話，這資訊會讓你的第一次大笨鐘之旅更有 趣。希望那會是畢生難忘的旅程！

Just the Fax: The History and Modern Use of the Fax Machine 傳真機的發展簡史
大笨鐘於一八五九年完工並成為世界上最大也最可靠 的四面鳴鐘。從那時起，它歷經了六位君主的統治。它甚 至在第二次世界大戰期間的炸彈攻擊中倖存下來。
想像一下，你需要盡快將一份重要文件發送到遠方。 你會怎麼做？你可能會使用電子郵件或智慧型手機的應用 程式。然而，對許多人來說，那個問題的答案是傳真機。
大笨鐘有多大？
亞歷山大•貝恩於一八四三年發明了傳真機，比第一支 電話問世的時間早了三十多年。貝恩的發明建立在早幾 年就已上市的電報技術上。到了一八八○年，傳真機就 能傳送圖像。這讓警察得以發送通緝犯的照片和讓報社 能印刷最新事件的照片。沒多久，人們就可以輕鬆地從 遠方（有時甚至遠從海洋的另一邊）提供他們的簽名。發 送傳真需要一些時間，但仍遠少於透過郵件寄送文件所 花費的時間。
四個鐘面的每一面大約是七公尺寬，時針長二 點七公尺且分針長四點三公尺。大鐘重達驚人的一萬 三千七百六十公斤，而敲擊它的鎚子重達兩百公斤。
Reading Comprehension 解答 1. C
2. B
Jan 14 誰讓大笨鐘運作順暢？ 大笨鐘的守護人及其團隊確保鐘要精準，他們藉由每 週替大笨鐘上三次發條來做到。如果鐘面上的指針剛好跑 快了，他們就會移除鐘擺上的一枚一便士硬幣，鐘擺會來 回擺動來控制指針的移動。如果指針慢了，那麼就在鐘擺 上加上一枚一便士硬幣。
一九六四年時，現代傳真機被廣泛使用，其技術在幾 十年間不斷改進。在一九八○年代和一九九○年代，它們 被認為是發送訊息最快且最安全的方式。

鐘響可以傳多遠？
Jan 18
在過去倫敦較沒那麼發達時，大笨鐘宏亮的鐘響遠在 十五公里外都可以聽到。今天，聲波沒有傳那麼遠，因為 它們被倫敦市內外的許多建築物阻擋了。
你可能認為電子郵件會讓傳真機成為歷史，但你錯 了。每年發送的傳真數量只有不斷在增加。一個解釋是對 於手寫的文件，傳真機還是更容易使用。但它們持續使用 的真正原因與安全有關。
鐘塔裡有什麼？ 在鐘塔裡有一間牢房，過去是曾關押頑劣政府官員的
電子郵件很方便，但可能會被駭客入侵。這對處理機密 資料的政府、醫院和其他機構來說尤其危險。使用傳真機可 以讓資訊直接從一個地方傳到另一個地方，而無需儲存在電 腦裡。然後可以存放在比較難遭竊的實體地點。 如今，還有一些可經由網路來收發傳真文件的電腦程 式，通常是免費的。這個過程比較沒那麼安全，但傳真文 件和三十年前一樣快速和可靠。 傳真機技術在整個十九、二十世紀突飛猛進，至今仍 持續發展。傳真機萬歲！

In Celebration of Fireworks 璀璨煙火知多少 對世界各地的人們來說，「煙火」這個單詞喚起充滿亮 光、喧鬧聲與慶祝活動的快樂回憶。所以就為了好玩，這 裡有些許關於煙火的歷史以及一些有趣的事實！ 從爆竹到煙火 鞭炮是在十世紀的中國發明的。它們是用捲紙製成 的，裡面含有火藥和引信。鞭炮產生的巨大聲響是用來驅 逐邪靈，而人們在慶祝生日和婚禮時也常會聽到。 中國士兵很快就想出一個把鞭炮綁在箭上來向敵人發 射炸彈的法子。後來，這些煙火就變成火箭，可以不須借 助箭就能向敵人發射。同樣的技術也用在今天的許多煙火 表演中。 與義大利的關聯 煙火在十三世紀時傳到了歐洲，然後在義大利發揚光 大。義大利人是真正的煙火設計大師。他們是最早製作出 讓煙火綻放出創意形狀的人，將金屬粉末加入煙火中來創 造出更多種顏色的也是義大利人。

Jan 25 來慶祝吧！
巴黎有適合每個人的東西。喜愛藝術的人會為三大 博物館著迷不已，其涵蓋了人類大部分的歷史。羅浮宮主 要收藏古代的珍品，而奧賽博物館主要展出十九世紀的作 品，龐畢度中心則是展出當代的作品。
今天，煙火是慶祝活動的象徵。英國人在篝火節時會點 燃它們，美國人則在國慶日使用。臺灣以蜂炮節聞名，在這 個世界上最瘋狂的慶典之一中，有數百萬發沖天炮布滿了天 空。當然，世界各地的人都會燃放煙火來迎接新年！
這個城市本身也是一件藝術品，從紀念碑林立的街 道到美麗的花園。首次造訪的人必看的景點是巴黎凱旋門 ──一座五十公尺高、興建來紀念法國陣亡戰士的拱門。 從那裡，沿著香榭麗舍大道行走，欣賞沿途許多很棒的咖 啡簡餐店和精品店。不久，你就會抵達杜樂麗花園——巴 黎最美麗的公園之一。
破紀錄的煙火
當然，你在那裡時會想品嚐所有的美食。早上吃個可 頌麵包來為這天揭開序幕，而午餐可用法式長棍麵包、一 些起司和冷盤來為自己做個三明治。晚餐的話，就去一間 浪漫的小酒館。

海馬是一種在溫暖和涼爽的海域中都可見到蹤影的小型 魚類。其大小從跟花生一樣小到跟網球鞋一樣大都有。海馬 有許多顏色，有些甚至能夠變色來與居住的環境配合。 海馬藉由把空氣抽入或抽出體內像氣球一樣的器官而 可以游向四面八方和在水中垂直移動。即使有這個器官， 海馬是魚類中游泳速度最慢的。牠們向前推進的唯一方法 是利用背上的小鰭。通常，海馬會用尾巴緊抓住漂浮的植 物來加速行程！
馬克： 非常謝謝你！你幫了大忙。
