【摘要2022-11-02.三.自由】◎管淑平
To bid farewell to Queen Elizabeth II,
Sarah Fowles came to Buckingham Palace with not just flowers but a teddy bear
too: Paddington in his red hat and his blue duffel coat.
為了向女王伊莉莎白二世告別，莎拉‧佛勒斯不僅帶著鮮花，也帶了一隻熊玩偶到白金漢宮：戴紅帽、穿藍風衣的柏靈頓熊。
The beloved children’s book character is
omnipresent among the thousands of bouquets outside the palace, thanks largely
to a video of the queen drinking tea with the bear for her Platinum Jubilee.
由於在女王白金禧慶典中一段她與這隻熊共進下午茶的影片，這個受人喜愛的童書角色，在王宮外的數千致哀花束中無所不在。
So numerous have they become that the
Royal Parks － which oversees Green Park where
tributes from the palace are being taken －
on Monday asked visitors not to bring any more soft toys.
數量多到讓接受王宮送來追悼花束的綠園管理單位御苑局，週一要求訪客不要再帶任何的絨毛玩偶來。
"Paddington is a British
institution," said Fowles, who said she hoped to leave her Paddington toy
in front of the gates of Buckingham Palace despite the crowds there. (AFP)
「柏靈頓熊是英國的一個著名人物」，佛勒斯說；她說儘管白金漢宮門外已經有很多，她希望把她的柏靈頓熊留在那裡。（法新社）

Why We Work Well at Cafés
為什麼在咖啡廳工作更有效率？
【摘要2022-11-02.三.壹蘋】
When you have work to do, would you rather
work at home, in an office, or at a café？
For many, the answer would be a café. There is no doubt that the caffeine in
coffee can provide some energy to help us work. But on top of that, a lot of
people just seem to work more efficiently in cafés. So, it' s no surprise that
cafés are often full of people working hard on their laptops.
當你有工作要做時，你會更想在家、辦公室、還是咖啡廳工作呢？對很多人來說，答案會是咖啡廳。咖啡內所含的咖啡因無疑可以提供能量以幫助我們工作。但除此之外，很多人在咖啡廳內似乎工作得更有效率。因此，咖啡廳內時常滿是用筆記型電腦認真工作的人也就一點也不足為奇了。
生活必備字詞：
there is no doubt + that 子句 毫無疑問.

efficiently adv. 有效率地
be full of. . . 充滿. . .
