【新聞News】在瓶子上行走的男人Man walks on bottles


內容Content

一個男人在星期四打破了不止一項,而是兩項世界紀錄。這位德國男子在六十個排成一直線的酒瓶上行走,打破了這項世界紀錄。
Not just one, but two world records were broken by one person on Thursday.
The German man broke the record for walking on upright bottles. There were 60 of them in a line. 

第二項記錄也同樣有趣。有人將飛鏢射出去,而這位德國男子就站在標靶前面。他在一分鐘內設法用徒手接住了十六個飛鏢。
The second record was just as interesting. Somebody was playing darts and the German was standing in front of the target. He caught the darts. He managed to catch 16 with his hands in one minute.

這位男子為他的成功感到非常高興,也鼓勵其他人來打破他的記錄。
The man was very happy with his success and encouraged others to beat his records.

 l  歌曲大意[gēqūdàyì]main idea:

(圖三)

     青峰是這麼說的<無與倫比的美麗〉是寫給張懸的歌,寫的是跟他的故事。歌詞引用了很多跟他一來一往的簡訊內容。他在青峰站上了海洋音樂祭的大舞台前告訴他,他的夏天過的很糟,希望能夠為他過一個很棒的夏天。
        在寫這首歌的時,想到開始建立深厚感情的那年夏天。那時候還沒有很熟,可是在往來的簡訊中,她知道我很不好,竟然馬上從士林趕來信義路找我,那時候我趁著酒意和悲傷,在大街上狂奔哭泣,就像自己是一個逃兵,想要逃離一切悲傷,只有她在後面緊緊追著我,為我擋去很多不必要的人。那年夏天,和那個晚上對我來說很重要,我永遠不會忘記她跟我在街上奔跑,喘息和哭泣的模樣。從那之後,夏天就變成了我們的密語,只有我們知道代表著什麼意義。
       
她對我而言像是一片草原,在她的陪伴和情感之上,才能舒服的被包容和安躺。我們都想為對方發光,為對方飛翔,即使不能像風箏般飛翔,我們也有彼此,不用苦苦追趕。這首歌是一首陪伴,希望的歌,不是悲傷的,雖然我用悲傷的方法去詮釋,但會這樣詮釋的原因是,我是被她安慰的一方,我是悲傷的,但是我知道有她在我可以盡情的悲傷,不用遮掩,有時候可以不遮掩哀傷反而是最幸福以及快樂的事,也不用怕自己落入更深沈的哀傷中,因為溫暖的光芒照在我身上,而草原的柔軟在我膝下。

        The snog was written about songwriter himself and his friend. At that time, he was really in a bad mood and she was the person who really cared about him and cried, and ran on the road with him. He said that he won’t feel relieved without her company. Although the song sounds grief, actually it is a song with hope. 

 l  歌手介紹[gē shǒuujièshào]the introduction of the singer:

        蘇打綠(Sodagreen)是一個臺灣樂團,於2001年組成,並在2003年時確立了現在的六人陣容。除了阿龔為國立臺北藝術大學音樂研究所的學生外,其餘五名成員都曾就讀國立政治大學。2003年7月,蘇打綠在海洋音樂祭小舞臺演出,在此次活動中結識音樂製作人林暐哲,並成為林暐哲音樂社旗下藝人。2004年5月,蘇打綠於政大的School Rock活動時發行第一張單曲《空氣中的視聽與幻覺》,並開始活躍於華語流行樂壇。如今的蘇打綠雖然是一支簽約樂團,但由於製作人林暐哲對於音樂社採取獨立音樂的經營方式,使蘇打綠在保有獨立音樂風格的同時,亦能佔有歌壇獨特的位置,並成為第一個在台北小巨蛋開唱的獨立音樂藝人。
        2001年4月,蘇打綠由主唱吳青峰(青峰)、貝斯手謝馨儀(馨儀)和第一任吉他手新哥組成,鼓手史俊威(小威)是馨儀泳隊的學長,聽了青峰的demo決定加入。隨後由於報名金旋獎的關係,由鼓手小威覺得符合樂團音樂特質的「蘇打」(舒爽氣泡的清新感)和青峯所附加上的「綠」字決定了團名「蘇打綠」。003年同是政治大學學生的何景揚(阿福)、劉家凱(家凱)和台北藝術大學的鍵盤手兼中提琴手龔鈺祺(阿龔)加入蘇打綠,從此形成如今的陣容,同年7月期間由於團員都即將於政治大學畢業,故打算獨自舉辦「in summer」(印夏天)台灣西部小巡迴表演,於西門町、海洋音樂祭熱浪搖滾、台南烏托邦、高雄ATT秘密基地、台中老諾、台北大學博覽會等地表演,將此表演視為蘇打綠的解散演出。但是隨後的海洋音樂季表演卻讓蘇打綠走向一條完全不同的道路。
        2007年5月初至6月中,蘇打綠靠著《小宇宙》專輯及其中歌曲入圍第18屆金曲獎最佳年度歌曲(小情歌)、最佳國語專輯獎、最佳作曲人獎(小情歌)、最佳作詞人獎(小情歌)、最佳編曲人獎(蘇打綠-吳青峯、史俊威、謝馨儀、劉家凱、龔鈺祺、何景揚《小情歌》)、最佳專輯製作人獎(林暐哲)、最佳樂團獎7項大獎,其中兩項入圍更獲得最佳作曲人獎(吳青峰《小情歌》)及最佳樂團獎(蘇打綠《小宇宙》)。同年於8月11日在新加坡舉辦「今年夏天特別綠」演唱會。單曲〈小情歌〉被電影《六號出口》使用為主題曲,並入圍2007年金馬獎最佳原創電影歌曲,更於10月27日獲2007年新加坡金曲獎最佳樂團獎(蘇打綠《小宇宙》)。同年11月2日,蘇打綠發行第三張專輯《無與倫比的美麗》。
(圖四)
        2009年5月8日,蘇打綠發行了第五張專輯《春‧日光》,並開啟蘇打綠的大型跨國音樂計畫─韋瓦第計畫,蘇打綠將在兩年之內造訪四個國際城市──台東、倫敦、北京、柏林──在當地錄製以四季為主題的四張專輯。《夏/狂熱》專輯在2009年9月11日正式發行。其中因遇到團員兵役問題,韋瓦第音樂計畫延了四年,於2013年9月18日,推出第九張專輯《秋:故事》。該專輯在各地都獲得了不俗的銷售成績(於台灣的預購動作突破五白金預購量),登上台灣佳佳音樂、台灣5大音樂、香港HMV、大陸信諾榜等多個排行榜冠軍。
        Sodagreen (Chinese: 蘇打綠;stylized as sodagreen) is a Taiwanese indie band formed in 2001. Its lineup has been unchanged since 2003. Sodagreen emerged in the Taiwanese indie music scene after receiving the Grand Jury Award in the Hohaiyan Gongliau Rock Festival in 2004, after which it signed a contract with Willlin Music. The band is prominent for its main vocalist and songwriter Wu Tsing-Fong, who is prominent for his poetic lyrics, unique performing style and wide vocal range.       
        Sodagreen was named by Shih, then the band's leader, and Wu, the lead vocalist. The band was originally named Soda (蘇打), but Shih felt that the band needed a name with three Chinese characters. Wu, whose favourite colour was green, suggested adding the word green (綠) behind the name, thus the band's name. In March 2003, A-Fu and Jia-Kai, also from National Chengchi University, and A-Gong from Taipei National University of the Arts joined Sodagreen. The band's line-up has remained unchanged since. In July the same year, the band played at the Hohaiyan Gongliau Rock Festival's Hot Wave Rock section.
         In June 2007, Sodagreen were awarded the Best Band Award at the 18th Golden Melody Awards. Wu Tsing-Fong also received the highly-coveted Best Melody Award for the song "Little Love Song", which was also nominated for the award for the best lyrics. Little Universe itself was nominated for the award for the best album. In November, Sodagreen released their third album,Incomparable Beauty. Shortly after, they held their first concert at a major venue, the Absolutely Beautiful Concert, which was held at the Taipei Arena. They were the first indie band to hold a concert there. The concert holds the record for being the longest concert ever held at the venue, with Sodagreen playing for five hours, incurring a large fine for playing too late into the night.
       In 2009, Sodagreen began their Vivaldi Project, planning to record and release four concept albums based on the four seasons within two years. The band recorded Daylight of Spring in Taidungand released it in May. They then travelled to London to record Summer/Fever, releasing it in September. Late that year, the band performed a solo concert at the Taipei Arena for the second time, playing for two nights at the Daylight Fever Concert. However, their plans to record albums based on the next two seasons were cut short by keyboardist A-gong's call-up to the Taiwanese army to fulfil his national service. Shortly after ending the Walk Together World Tour in Shanghai on 3 August 2013, Sodagreen announced that Autumn: Stories, the third instalment in the band's Vivaldi Project, would be released on 18 September 2013. The release of the album in September was accompanied by a series of six live house performances in Beijing, with the tickets to these mini-concerts selling out within ten minutes of the opening of online booking services.
        Sodagreen is currently planning their last album in their Vivaldi Project. Like the previous three albums, the last one will be related to the winter and Sodagreen will choose Berlin to be the background of the albulm.

研究:母親的魚與汞攝取量與孩子過動症風險相關study : Mother’s fish, mercury intake tied to kids’ ADHD risk

◎國際新聞中心
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/9632588/Thousands-of-pregnant-women-at-risk-from-antidepressants-doctors-warn.html

內容Content
根據美國一項研究,兒童在年齡較長時罹患注意力不足過動症(ADHD)的風險,可能與母親懷胎時攝取多少魚類有關。
Children’s risk of developing attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) later in life may be tied to how much fish their mothers ate while pregnant, according to a U.S. study.  

研究人員在這份發表在「小兒及青少年醫學檔案」 的研究中發現,孕婦每週至少攝取兩份魚類,孩子日後出現某些ADHD症狀的風險可降低約60%。
Researchers writing in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine found that eating at least two servings of fish per week was linked to about a 60 percent lower risk of kids developing certain ADHD-like symptoms.

然而,吃較多魚伴隨而來的汞含量升高,也與出現過動、衝動及不專注等症狀的風險較高有關。
But elevated mercury levels, which can also come from eating more fish were tied to a higher risk of developing the symptoms, such as hyperactivity, impulsiveness and inattentiveness.

詞彙Vocabulary
年齡 [Niánlíng] : age
注意力不足過動症 [Zhùyì lì bùzúguò dòng zhèng] : attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder

        周杰倫(Jay Chou,1979年1月18日-)為臺灣著名創作歌手,兼具電視節目主持、演員、導演等身份。周杰倫於2000年發行首張同名音樂專輯《Jay》出道,隨即引起華語音樂重大注目,其融合多元的主題與素材,創造出多變的風格,尤以融合中西元素的嘻哈、節奏藍調、饒舌和中國風而受歡迎。高中就讀於淡江中學音樂科,主修鋼琴,副修大提琴,為將來的音樂發展打下了深厚的基礎。他曾表示少年時受到香港著名歌手張學友的唱片《吻別》的影響,從而喜歡並開始專注於流行音樂。由於他的音樂基礎紮實,令其在流行音樂創作方面如魚得水。1997年8月,他首次亮相螢光幕前,當時是為參加TVBS-G選秀節目《超級新人王》的高中同學擔任鋼琴伴奏。雖然同學最終並未獲獎,節目主持人吳宗憲卻對周杰倫的作曲技巧印象深刻,進而與其簽約。當時吳認為其樣貌不夠突出。而不足以走紅幕前,所以讓其專注於作曲、填詞。這一時期他創作出了不少膾炙人口的作品,阿爾發音樂唱片公司中,唯他與方文山的合作作品最受青睞,無形中兩人的合作形成了一種「定律」
                對於周杰倫而言,進入電影界是一個出乎意料的發展。2005年,周杰倫的第一個電影角色是在《頭文字D》中擔任男主角,正式進入電影界。這可以推出他的首部作品,並使他接觸到日本的觀眾 ;此後他還演了其他六部電影,客串了3部電影導演、一部影片和數十個MV。周杰倫曾經說過:「我因為音樂而生活」,涉足電影業是因為他覺得自己需要一個新的挑戰。2006年,周杰倫的第二部電影《滿城盡帶黃金甲》中他飾演二王子元杰,在電影中他試圖表現了中國的傳統美德——「孝」,也是他個性的縮影。這一部在國際上發行的電影讓北美觀眾首次看到周杰倫。2007年,周杰倫自導自演了他的第三部電影《不能說的·秘密》,電影裡大部分的歌曲也由周杰倫監製,在這部電影中他發揮了自己的鋼琴天分,愛上了一個穿越時空到現在的女孩。2011年,周杰倫在美國3D電影《青蜂俠》擔任青蜂俠助手「Kato」的角色,是他在好萊塢的處女作。此外他的第二張專輯《范特西》裡面的經典歌曲《雙截棍》被採用於青蜂俠電影的片尾曲,在全球放送。
        《天台》(英語:The Rooftop)是一部喜劇、動作、愛情、歌舞類型的電影,也是繼2007年《不能說的·秘密》後,構思整整6年後周杰倫第二部自導自演的電影。首度創新將傑式「歌武片」,突破傳統「歌舞片」的唱跳模式,更融合了武術動作,令人耳目一新。其中,「天台的月光」為其主題曲。中國大陸票房截至7月15日止,以6,700萬人民幣票房破《悲慘世界》紀錄。截止至7月25日,《天台》在中國大陸票房已突破1億元人民幣。

        Jay Chou (born 18 January 1979)is a Taiwanese musician, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and actor. In 1998 he was discovered in a talent contest where he displayed his piano and song-writing skills. Over the next two years, he was hired to compose for popular Mandarin singers. Although he was trained in classical music, Chou combines Chinese and Western music styles to produce songs that fuse R&B, rock and pop genres. He composes all his own songs, as well as songs for other singers.
         Chou debuted his acting career and made his film debut in Initial D (2005), for which he won Best Newcomer Actor in both the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Awards, and was nominated for Best Supporting Actor by Hong Kong Film Awards for his role in Curse of the Golden Flower (2006). He produced the theme song for the film Ocean Heaven (2010), starring Jet Li. His career now extends into directing and running his own record company JVR Music. As of 2010, Chou has sold more than 28 million albums worldwide.
          The Rooftop (Chinese: 天台) is a 2013 Taiwanese film. It is the second feature film directed by Taiwanese singer/actor Jay Chou. Similar to his first feature film, Secret, Jay played multiple roles in the production of the film, as the main lead, director, script-writer and music composer.The Rooftop is one of the many scripts that Jay Chou has written since the success of Secret in 2007. Most of the scripts are sequels to Secret. However, Jay Chou and his long-time friend Will Liu decided to work on The Rooftop as a challenge to produce the first Chinese mainstream musical-cum-martial arts film. They claimed that The Rooftop is a film that is difficult to be categorized, for it combined the elements of musical extravaganza and actions.
