Rihanna: A Star with a Beautiful Soul 蕾哈娜:人美心更美的流行天后 One of the hottest singers today is Rihanna, who, at 32, has achieved more than most stars her age. So far, she has sold over 60 million albums and won nine Grammy awards. Besides her work in music, she has also built a successful business and used her money to help others. Rihanna was born Robyn Rihanna Fenty in Barbados. She had a troubled family life and turned to singing as an escape. At 16, she was discovered by a music producer and moved to America. Soon she released her first album, Music of the Sun, which sold close to two million copies. This was followed by more hit albums and songs, including “Umbrella,” “Diamond,” and “Stay.” In 2017, Rihanna created Fenty Beauty, the first beauty brand to offer 40 different shades of foundation. As a black woman, she had noticed a lack of foundations for darker-skinned women. She therefore created a brand for every skin tone under the sun. “I wanted everyone to feel included,” Rihanna said, and people love the results. 三十二歲的蕾哈娜是當今最火紅的歌手之一,她的成就遠超過同齡的大多數明星。到目前為止,她已賣出超過六千萬張專輯,並獲得九座葛萊美獎。除了音樂工作外,她也建立一項成功的事業,並用她的錢來幫助別人。 蕾哈娜出生在巴貝多,本名為蘿蘋.蕾哈娜.芬蒂。她的家庭生活問題很多,於是開始唱歌作為逃避的方式。十六歲時,她被一名音樂製作人發掘並搬到了美國。不久,她發行了第一張專輯《太陽之歌》,這張專輯賣了將近兩百萬張。接下來有更多張暢銷專輯和熱門歌曲,包括〈小雨傘〉、〈璀鑽〉和〈留下〉。 二○一七年,蕾哈娜創立了Fenty Beauty,這是第一個提供四十種不同色調的粉底的美容品牌。身為黑人女性,她注意到缺乏適合深色皮膚女性用的粉底。因此,她創造了一個適合世界上每一種膚色的品牌。蕾哈娜說:「我想要每個人都感覺受到包容」,而大家都喜歡此結果。 With millions of fans across the world, Rihanna has put her influence to good use. In 2012, she started the Clara Lionel Foundation to support educational programs around the world and to help pay school fees for youth from poor countries. Through the foundation, Rihanna also built a cancer treatment center in Barbados and set up projects to help developing areas better prepare for natural disasters. In 2017, she received an award from Harvard University that recognized her for all the work she had done to help people. This year, Rihanna’s foundation has given away US$5 million for coronavirus relief efforts. The money has gone towards supporting food banks in poor places and buying equipment that doctors and nurses needed to treat coronavirus patients. The foundation also worked with Jay-Z’s foundation to provide US$2 million to support the children of health and emergency workers. Even with all that she has achieved, Rihanna is just getting started. Whether in the area of music, business, or charity, she continues to win the world’s love and respect. 在世界各地擁有數百萬名粉絲的蕾哈娜善用她的影響力。二○一二年,她成立了克萊拉萊納基金會來支持世界各地的教育計畫,協助支付貧窮國家年輕人的學費。透過該基金會,蕾哈娜也在巴貝多設立一個癌症治療中心,並籌劃專案計畫協助開發中地區為自然災害做更周全的準備。二○一七年,她獲得了哈佛大學頒發的一個獎項,表彰她為助人所做的所有努力。 今年,蕾哈娜的基金會捐贈了五百萬美元給新冠病毒的救援工作。這筆錢用來資助貧窮地區的食物銀行,以及購買醫生和護理師需要的設備來治療新冠病毒的患者。該基金會也與Jay-Z的基金會合作,提供兩百萬美元來資助保健和急救人員的子女。 即使完成了這麼多事,蕾哈娜才剛要開始。無論是在音樂、商業還是慈善領域,她都持續贏得世人的愛與尊重。 4 Live關鍵時事新聞 9 焦點話題 10 大師名作選 The Yellow Paint 〈黃色油漆〉 本篇為蘇格蘭作家羅伯特.路易斯.史蒂文森(Robert Louis Stevenson)的短篇故事,描述一名醫生宣稱他的黃色油漆可使人免於危險和災難,許多人因此慕名去塗漆,結果…… 14 暖心故事 Helping Hands during the COVID-19 Pandemic 面對新冠疫情 溫暖在人間 新冠肺炎爆發後僅僅數週便傳遍世界各地,影響旅遊、民生經濟及各項運動賽事等,醫護人員更是站在對抗疫情的最前線,首當其衝。在這個艱難的時期,許多人伸出援手將溫暖散播人間。 18 克漏字 A Disappearing Act for Plastics 消除塑膠新招——把它吃光光 一次性使用的塑膠造成大量的垃圾,一間名為Notpla的公司開發出使用後會自然分解的塑膠包材替代品,希望能成為永久解決塑膠危機的良方。 20 旅遊好去處 Exploring the Mountains of Taiwan 走訪台灣山林古道 在一個語言不通的地方騎著機車旅行十天會有什麼奇遇呢?作者以親身經歷帶大家看看台灣山林間的意外驚喜! 24 生活情境對話 Shopping for Fruit 購買水果 • 英語聽力測驗 28 焦點人物 Rihanna: A Star with a Beautiful Soul 蕾哈娜:人美心更美的流行天后 獲得九座葛來美獎的蕾哈娜,除了在音樂方面打出亮眼的成績,在商業和慈善領域也有一番成就,一起來認識這位眾人公認時尚、性感又善良的流行樂天后吧! 32 肢體語言 The History of Hand Gestures 常見手勢的由來 人們透過語言來溝通,但有時也可透過手勢來交流,本文就要介紹三種最常使用手勢的由來! 37 翻譯練習 Translation Practice 40 語言文化 As Graceful as a Swan?

Now, Angela Merkel, who was, obviously, at many of the events that took place on this day, said that it was a solemn event that took place. She said, on the one hand, of course, the fall of the wall is something that continues to be celebrated in Germany, and of course, in other places in Europe as well, but it also comes with the fact that at this point in time, the values that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and to the unity in Europe need to be defended more than ever before. Here’s what Angela Merkel had to say. ANGELA MERKEL, CHANCELLOR OF GERMANY (VIA INTERPRETER) … but the values that Europe is based on: freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, respect for human rights—these are definitely not to be taken for granted, and they have to be lived and defended again and again. Europe must continue to stand for democracy, freedom, human rights and tolerance in the future, and this is more topical than ever in times of profound technical and global changes. FRED PLEITGEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT But of course, even that solemn mood did not stop many people from coming out here and just simply celebrating the fact that Europe is free, that Berlin and, of course, Germany are both united. As you can see, right here, at the East Side Gallery, which is the single longest strip11 of what was the Berlin Wall that continues to stand today and where, as you can see, many artists have painted pictures on what used to be the wall, folks came out and, obviously, took snapshots themselves. Many of them also posing [posed] with our own CNN Trabant—the iconic communist car that so symbolized East Germany and [was] really a way of life in East Germany. Now, all of this, for many people, of course, is a tourist attraction. The wall, the old cars—those are now tourist attractions, but nevertheless, a lot of the folks that come out here, obviously, [are] also very much educated about the fact that the Berlin Wall, in its days, was an instrument of repression, a place where many people were killed trying to get into freedom. But then, also, when the wall came down, when people managed to breach the wall itself, [it] became a symbol of freedom because it was the people of Germany—the people of Europe—that tore the wall down 30 years ago. Fred Pleitgen, CNN, Berlin. CNN特派員 弗瑞德.普雷根 成千上萬人現身德國首都柏林這裡,慶祝柏林圍牆倒塌三十週年──當然了,這是導致共產黨(編按:指歐洲共產主義)在一九八九年走向終點的關鍵事件之一。 安格拉.梅克爾顯然出席了多場在這天舉辦的活動,她表示這是發生過的一起莊嚴事件。她說一方面,柏林圍牆的倒塌在德國當然是一件持續在慶祝的事,在歐洲其他地方自然也是如此,不過伴隨而來的事實是,當初致使柏林圍牆倒下和歐洲團結一心的價值,在此時比以往更須加以捍衛。 以下是安格拉.梅克爾的發言。 德國總理 安格拉.梅克爾(經由口譯) ……但是歐洲的價值是建立在自由、民主、平等、法治與尊重人權之上的──這些絕對不能被視為理所當然,而且必須一再地加以實踐與捍衛。 未來,歐洲必須繼續為民主、自由、人權與包容挺身而出,而正值科技與全球變化如此巨大的時代,這件事比以往更加受到關注。 CNN特派員 弗瑞德.普雷根 但是當然,即便那般肅穆的心情也阻擋不了許多人來到此地純粹只是為了讚頌歐洲是自由的,以及柏林和德國都是統一團結的。 如各位所見,就在東邊畫廊,也就是今日依然矗立,最長的一段柏林圍牆遺跡,各位可以看到,很多藝術家在這面從前的柏林圍牆上作畫,顯然可見,大伙都來到這裡隨手拍照。 當中有許多人也擺好姿勢和本台的特拉邦車合影,這是一輛象徵著東德,實際上也是一種東德生活方式的典型共產黨時代車。 對許多人而言,這全部當然就是一個觀光景點。圍牆、古董車──那些東西現在是觀光景點,但是很多來到這邊的人也都非常清楚柏林圍牆在那個年代是一個迫害的工具,許多人因為設法獲得自由而在這裡遭到殺害。但是當這面牆倒下,當人們成功打破這道圍牆時,它也就成了一個自由的象徵,因為三十年前正是德國人民,也就是歐洲人民將這道圍牆拆毀的。 本台記者弗瑞德.普雷根,在柏林的報導。 政治 A Symbol of Freedom 柏林圍牆倒塌30週年 歐洲社會仍盼團結 Germans Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall 去年適逢作為二戰後德國分裂和冷戰象徵的柏林圍牆倒塌30年,許多民眾前來圍牆遺址拍照留念,但歐洲日益加深的政經分歧也讓人擔心隱形的高牆是否依然矗立。 科技 A Girl-Actic Achievement 首次全女性太空漫步 寫下航太新里程碑 First All-Female Space Walk Completed at International Space Station 美國太空總署兩名女性太空人進行艙外活動,完成充放電組件更換作業,全程歷時7個多小時,同時也創下首次完全由女性太空人進行的太空漫步。 商業 King of the Air 英國航空見證商用飛行百年演進 Looking Back at 100 Years of Commercial Aviation 荷蘭航空、哥倫比亞航空和英國航空都在2019年慶祝啟航100週年。本文帶各位回顧商用飛行百年來的重要里程碑。 社會 Going Zero 阿姆斯特丹推動十年計畫 打造零碳排城市 Amsterdam Aims to Cut Emissions to Zero by 2030 荷蘭首都阿姆斯特丹展開對抗空污十年計畫,階段性減少汽、柴油車進入市區,目標在2030年成為零碳排城市。 科技 Cyber Theft 打卡、標籤洩個資 小心駭客找上門 Demonstrating How Easy It Is to Steal Your ID over the Phone 資安專家警告,人們放上社交網站上的任何資訊,都可能遭有心人士利用,成為竊取個資,甚至偽造身分的工具,不可不慎! 商業 Land of Innovation CNN 獨家參訪三星研發中心 創新科技搶先看 CNN Gets Exclusive Access to Samsung’s R&D Labs 科技巨擘三星電子近年除了繼續持續開發智慧型手機,也將更多資源投入創新計畫。CNN獨家進入門禁森嚴的三星研發實驗室一窺究竟。 體育 Strike One! 全民瘋棒球 熱血沸騰的日本野球文化 Feeling the Vibe in a Japanese Baseball Game 棒球將在2020年東京奧運中回歸奧運殿堂。CNN體育特派員搶先到東京親身觀賞日職比賽,感受熱力十足的日本野球文化。 環境 Soy Story 看天吃飯!氣候變遷下的糧食危機 Climate Change’s Impact on Food Production 人類活動所產生的大量二氧化碳,理論上有助於作物生長,實際上卻會減少作物中的營養素。氣候變遷下的糧食危機,成為二十一世紀人類必然面對的一大課題。 旅遊 The Closest Shave 土耳其浴、男士理髮 到伊斯坦堡來場脫胎換骨之旅!

This first-ever Surgeon General's Report on bone health and osteoporosis illustrates the large burden that bone disease places on our Nation and its citizens. Like other chronic diseases that disproportionately affect the elderly, the prevalence of bone disease and fractures is projected to increase markedly as the population ages. If these predictions come true, bone disease and fractures will have a tremendous negative impact on the future well-being of Americans. But as this report makes clear, they need not come true: by working together we can change the picture of aging in America. Osteoporosis, fractures, and other chronic diseases no longer should be thought of as an inevitable part of growing old. By focusing on prevention and lifestyle changes, including physical activity and nutrition, as well as early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, Americans can avoid much of the damaging impact of bone disease and other chronic diseases. This Surgeon General's Report brings together for the first time the scientific evidence related to the prevention, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of bone disease. More importantly, it provides a framework for moving forward. The report will be another effective tool in educating Americans about how they can promote bone health throughout their lives. This first-ever Surgeon General's Report on bone health and osteoporosis provides much needed information on bone health, an often overlooked aspect of physical health. This report follows in the tradition of previous Surgeon Generals' reports by identifying the relevant scientific data, rigorously evaluating and summarizing the evidence, and determining conclusions.

Written by a team of contributors drawn from the Legal Service of the European Commission and from academia, the Commentary offers expert guidance to practitioners and academics seeking fast access to the Treaties, secondary law, and current practice. The Commentary follows a set structure, offering a short overview of the Article, the Article text itself, a key references list including essential case law and legislation, followed by a structured commentary on the Article.
