我跟你說過我不欣賞英文老師，因為我覺得他程度不夠。我們這一班有一半人都到美國去做過交換學生，我也在美國讀過一年，所以我們的英文水準比一般沒去留學的德國學生要高很多，而他好像完全不理會這種差異，還是照他一貫的方法教學，就是要我們聽寫，或者讓我們讀一堆無聊的文章。 | Translation - English
If you recall, I don’t like my English teacher because I don’t think he’s qualified for his job. You see, over half of the students in my class had gone to the U.S. as exchange students, and that includes myself, having studied there for a year. So you can imagine our English is a lot better than the German students who haven’t studied abroad. This English teacher of ours, however, seems to have turned a blind eye to that difference. He still teaches in his usual way, that is, to make us do transcriptions, or to read some really meaningless stuff. |
English to Chinese: Hints and Tips for Helping Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders

Many of us take for granted the significant number of skills involved in just eating lunch. However, eating is a behavior that involves many different behaviors. It also involves the olfactory, tactile, temperature, and taste senses. In addition, eating includes the sensation of being filled or hungry, the social component of mealtimes, and emotions as well.
School cafeterias are challenging places for children with autism spectrum disorders. Cafeterias typically are noisy, have a lot people, and have many smells. Eating is time-limited. Lunch breaks are usually intensively social times and are often the times of the day when general school behaviors are at their worst. | Translation - Chinese
單是吃午餐就需要相當多的技巧，不過很多人都沒有認真想過，因為那是再自然不過的事情。其實進食牽涉到許多其他行為，還有嗅覺、觸覺、溫度、味覺。此外，飽足或飢餓的知覺、用餐時段的社交成分、以及情緒，都是進食行為的一部分。
自閉症兒童都會覺得，學校食堂是個充滿考驗的地方。這些食堂一般都吵鬧、人多，而且充斥很多不同的味道；進食時間也有限制。午餐時間通常是密集的社交時間，學童也往往在這些時候表現出最差劣的學校行為。 |
