Where is Kim Jong-un?
金正恩在哪裡？
【摘要2020.6.21.自由】◎茅毅
One of the biggest questions regarding the
current impasse on the Korean Peninsula is the silence of North Korean leader
Kim Jong-un, in contrast to his sister Kim Yo-jong.
關於朝鮮半島當前僵局的最大疑問之一，就是北韓領袖金正恩的默不作聲，與其胞妹金與正形成對比。
Kim Jong-un has been completely missing in
the key statements from Pyongyang in recent weeks regarding South Korea. His
private jet was seen flying east toward Hamhung, South Hamgyong Province, on
Wednesday, according to Flightradar24, a Swedish website. Some speculate he
went there for a visit to a test site of SLBMs.
金正恩已從平壤近幾週來關於南韓的重要聲明中完全神隱。根據瑞典網站「24小時飛行雷達」，其專機被發現週三向東飛往（北韓）咸鏡南道咸興（市）。部分人士臆測，他去當地視察一個潛射彈道飛彈的試射場。
One speculation is that by not attacking
Moon personally, Kim Jong-un is leaving the door open for further dialogue with
the South Korean leader. Rep. Thae Yong-ho of the main opposition United Future
Party pointed out that "there was no third person between the North Korean
military and Kim Jong-un, but now there is Kim Yo-jong." Her emergence
indicates a new leadership structure in North Korea.
一個臆測是，藉由不針對（南韓總統）文在寅個人進行攻訐，金正恩仍能敞開和這位南韓領袖進一步對話的大門。（南韓）主要在野黨「未來統合黨」國會議員太永浩則指出，「過去在北韓軍方與金正恩間，沒有第三人，但如今有金與正」。她的嶄露頭角，顯示北韓出現一個新的領導結構。

Aqueduct of Segovia
鬼斧神工：塞哥維亞水道橋
【摘要2020.6.21.蘋果】
The Aqueduct of Segovia in Spain is one of
the best preserved Roman aqueducts in Europe. Dated to sometime around 100CE,
the structure, made of solid granite blocks, is a reminder of the skill
possessed by Roman architects nearly 2,000 years ago.
The aqueduct, which delivered water to the
old settlement, is now a symbol of Segovia and is part of the city’s official
emblem. Today, there are 75 single arches and 44 double arches remaining, with
the tallest reaching over 28 meters into the air. The Aqueduct of Segovia is a
great site to snap photos and appreciate Europe’s amazing history.
西班牙的塞哥維亞水道橋是歐洲保存最完整的羅馬時代水道橋之一。這座由實心花崗岩塊打造的建築可追溯至公元
100 年左右，提醒世人約兩千年前羅馬建築師的不凡技術。
這座用來將水輸送到古老拓居地的水道橋，如今已成為塞哥維亞的象徵，也出現在該市的官方城徽當中。時至今日，水道橋還剩下七十五個單拱門和四十四個雙拱門矗立著，而最高的拱門更超過二十八公尺。塞哥維亞水道橋是個拍照的好地點，也是體會歐洲精彩歷史的好去處。
