Garden Grows Vegetables under the Sea
Gardens are great! They are places people grow vegetables. They can be on the ground and on people's roofs. They can even be on balconies. 蔬菜可以種在地上,陽台或是屋頂上。
But, did you know there is also a garden under the sea? 連海底也可以種蔬菜。
It's called Nemo's Garden. It's under the ocean near Italy. 尼莫的菜園在義大利附近的海中。
How do you grow vegetables under the sea? That's a good question. People put the plants inside balls. They call these balls "pods." Inside the pods are vegetables, like lettuce, tomatoes, peas, and mushrooms. 把蔬菜的種子放進圓球狀的容器裡面,可以種生菜,番茄,豌豆,還有蘑菇。
The pods are tied to the bottom of the sea with chains. They are about eight meters under the ocean. People say the vegetables grow faster underwater and taste better, too. 圓球用鐵鍊固定在海底,距離海面大約八公尺。
There are not many pods right now. Nemo's garden is an experiment. People want to see if growing vegetables underwater is a good idea. 這個菜園是一個實驗,人們想知道是不是個好主意。
Growing vegetables under the sea is a lot of work. People need to wear scuba equipment. I hope the Nemo's Garden experiment works well. Maybe it can help us grow lots of vegetables in the future. That would be great!

Woman Makes Art from Trash
Do you like art? Today, I'm going to tell you about a very interesting artist. She makes art from trash. You know what trash is, right? You could call it junk, or garbage. It's something you just throw away. 美國有一個很有趣的藝術家,她利用垃圾做藝術品。
Stephanie Hongo lives in America. She makes beautiful art with things people don't want anymore. She turns the trash into animals. She uses ping pong balls for eyes. She uses plastic forks to make feathers for owls. And she used the leg of a Barbie doll for the horn of a unicorn. Is a unicorn an animal? Well, maybe.
她把別人不要的東西挑出來,做成動物的樣子。像是乒乓球當作眼睛,塑膠叉子變成貓頭鷹身上的羽毛,芭比娃娃的腿變成了獨角獸頭上的角。
Stephanie started using trash to make art after she quit her job. She didn't have enough money to buy art supplies. So, she used junk. It sounds dirty to use garbage. But Stephanie only uses clean trash. She gets the trash from her family and friends. Sometimes, people on Facebook give her junk, too. 這位藝術家在離職之後沒錢買藝術作品的材料,於是想到利用垃圾。聽起來有點不衛生,不過她只用乾淨的,從親朋好友那裏收集來的垃圾。有時候臉書上的好友也會把不要的東西給她。
