Gemini雙子座

Gemini

雙子座

【摘要2020.6.10.蘋果】

Gemini, the Latin word for twins, is represented by the twin brothers Castor and Pollux, who according to some myths are the sons of Zeus. Those born under the sign of Gemini are said to possess a dual nature, and because of this, they are able to see life from different perspectives. This makes Geminians the most adaptable of all the 12 star signs. They are also known to be very social and clever.

Gemini 在拉丁文中意指雙胞胎，由孿生兄弟卡斯托爾和波魯克斯所代表，根據某些傳說他們是宙斯的兒子。雙子座的人通常擁有雙重性格，也因為如此，雙子座能從不同角度看待人生。這樣的特質使雙子座在十二星座中適應力最強。雙子座也是出了名的善於交際又聰明慧黠。

Virus sends Holocaust survivors behind doors, back in time

病毒讓猶太大屠殺倖存者重回過去在家避難的時光

【摘要2020.6.10.自由】◎管淑平

For Olga Weiss, the order to stay at home is about much more than simply locking her door to the coronavirus. It has awakened fears from decades ago when she and her parents hid inside for two years from Nazis hunting down Jews in Belgium.

對歐嘉．魏斯來說，居家禁足令不僅事關閉門防範新型冠狀病毒，更喚起她數十年前與父母在比利時躲在家裡長達2年，躲避納粹搜捕猶太人的恐懼。

"It is almost an echo of when we were young, when we were children, the same feeling of not knowing what will happen next," said Weiss, 83. "We aren’t thinking about the virus; we are thinking of what happened to us" back then.

現年83歲的魏斯說，「幾乎是重演我們年幼時不知道接下來會怎麼樣的感覺」，「我們想的不是病毒，而是當年我們經歷的一切。」

據信全球目前有接近40萬名猶太大屠殺倖存者還在世，對許多年長的猶太人來說，這場冠狀病毒大流行，重新挖出他們自孩童那段黑暗時期後，就不曾感受過的害怕、不確定和無助感。（美聯社）
