Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was bitten by an emu-like bird that he tried to feed while in quarantine at the presidential palace here, a media report said.

一家媒體報導，巴西總統雅伊爾．波索納洛被一隻像是鴯鶓的鳥類咬了，當時他在總統官邸度過隔離期，並試圖餵食（牠）。

On Monday, Bolsonaro complained of his "horrible" isolation, saying he "can’t stand this routine of staying at home". Later that day, he took a stroll around the Palacio da Alvorada in Brasilia and decided to feed the birds.

週一，波索納洛抱怨他「糟糕的」隔離生活，聲稱他「無法忍受一直待在家裡」。當天稍晚，他在位於巴西利亞的總統官邸晨曦宮散步，並決定餵食幾隻鳥。

One of the flightless birds, called a rhea, "pecked" at the President. The rhea is distantly related to ostriches and emu.

其中一隻不能飛、被稱作鶆䴈的鳥，「啄」了這位總統。鶆䴈與鴕鳥、鴯鶓有很遠的關聯。

"Interacting with the animals has been one of Bolsonaro’s distractions," the newspaper reported, publishing a sequence of photos showing the president wearing a mask as he fed the flock of birds and then sharply withdrawing his hand.

「與動物互動已經是波索納洛的消遣活動之一」，刊出一系列照片，公開戴著口罩的波索納洛總統餵食一群鳥，之後快速地抽回手的畫面的報紙媒體指出。

The Wonderful World of Chocolate

糖衣包裝的巧克力王國

【摘要2020.7.21.蘋果】

Chocolate may seem to be a fun and tasty treat, but its industry has a lesser-known dark side. Child labor is used in the production of cocoa, and this is a severe issue that needs to be addressed. Most of the child workers are teenage boys.

They usually spend their days doing hard manual labor, like chopping down cocoa trees with large knives. At night, they sleep in huts in the woods. Many of them don’t attend school and are unable to see their families.

巧克力也許看似有趣又好吃的美味點心, 但巧克力產業有著一個較不為人知的黑暗面。兒童勞工被用於可可粉的生產過程中, 而這是一個需要解決的嚴重議題。大多數的童工都是青少年男孩。

他們白天通常得做粗重的體力活，像是用大型刀具砍伐可可樹。到了夜晚，他們就睡在樹林裡的簡陋小屋裡。他們許多人都沒有上學，而且無法見到家人。
