Things I Learned This Week

  • 拍黃瓜 是一道經典的中式涼拌菜,以其清爽、開胃、脆口的特點深受喜愛。製作時,先用「刀背」或「擀麵棍」將黃瓜拍裂,再切段、撒鹽出水,最後拌入蒜末、醋、醬油、香油、糖及辣椒油等調味料,使其入味。
  • Siddhārtha Gautama(梵文),又稱釋迦摩尼、佛陀,是古印度的精神導師,也是佛教的創始者。他原為一位王子,生活富足。然而,在目睹人生的生老病死後,他對世俗榮華產生厭倦,決心尋找超越痛苦的真理。他出家修行,最初極端苦行,後體悟到極端與放縱皆非正道,遂採取「中道」修行。佛陀四處弘法,教導「四聖諦」與「八正道」,指出人類可藉由修行達至「涅槃(Nirvana)」。釋迦牟尼的思想深深影響亞洲文明,成為世界三大宗教之一的核心人物。
  • 涅槃 ㄋㄧㄝˋ ㄆㄢˊ(Nirvana),意為「熄滅」、「寂滅」,指斷除一切煩惱、痛苦的終極解脫境界,也是修行者的最高理想。
  • A supernova 超新星 is a luminous stellar explosion marking the death of a star, releasing more energy in seconds than the Sun emits in its entire lifetime. These explosions are crucial for element creation, cosmic recycling, and serve as standard candles for measuring vast cosmic distances.
  • 急驚風遇著慢郎中」:比喻兩者之間因速度不匹配而產生的無奈或衝突。「急驚風」原指一種急性的兒童疾病(俗稱驚風或驚厥),而「慢郎中」則是指動作緩慢的醫生。
