屏東開賣小狗冰淇淋 Ice-Cream Puppies Land in Pingtung
To most of us, dogs are cute, fluffy pets. We could never imagine eating one.
Well, would you eat one if it was made of ice-cream?
There is a small business in Taiwan that makes ice-cream desserts that look like puppies.
They are very realistic.
它們看起來很像真的小狗。
J.C.co. makes desserts that look like other animals, including a koi carp (鯉魚), but their puppy ice-cream made them famous.
Pictures of it made the news around the world in 2018.
2018年，J.C.co的小狗冰淇淋登上了全球新聞。
J.C.co started with a restaurant in Kaohsiung.
Because of their popularity (大流行), they then opened a branch in Cambodia (柬埔寨).
Now the business' three members have headed back to where they came from.
They opened a store in Pingtung County.
J.C.co Art Kitchen opened this year during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
One of the business owners said they wanted to give back to their home county, Pingtung, and increase its visibility (提升能見度).
Their specialty ice-cream puppies come in three flavors: an Earl Grey Labrador, an Italian Chocolate Pug, and a Peanut Shar Pei.
Woof! Woof! I mean… yum! Yum!
J.C.co.說他們想回饋屏東鄉親，並且提升屏東的能見度。 他們小狗冰淇淋有三種口味: 伯爵奶茶拉不拉多犬、義大利巧克力巴哥犬、還有花生沙皮狗。
土耳其愛旅遊的小狗狗 Boji the Travelling Turkish Dog
Speaking of dogs… one has become a bit of an internet celebrity in Turkey.
His name is Boji, and he is a street dog. That means he doesn't have an owner and lives on the street. 波基是一隻流浪犬，沒有主人，到處為家。
Although we're sure lots of people take care of him.
He lives in Turkey's capital Istanbul and likes to travel around a lot.
And people take pictures of his travels and post them on the internet.
There is even an Instagram account dedicated to Boji which has over 50 thousand followers!
Boji is a big dog with floppy brown ears and golden fur.
He has been spotted on buses, ferries and trains all around the city. 這隻有棕色耳朵金色毛皮的大狗，搭過伊斯坦堡的公車，渡輪和火車。
And he loves to get pets from people when they say hello.
Local authorities have fitted Boji with a microchip so that as he moves around Istanbul they can keep an eye on him.
That means they can "watch" him and know where he goes.
官員為了追蹤Boji的足跡，在牠身上安裝了晶片，好知道牠的下落。
They have found that Boji loves to take the city's metro (捷運) and passes through over 29 metro stations each day.
He will often travel over 30 kilometers per day!
A public transport worker called Aylin said it is like Boji knows where to go and always has a purpose (目的).
He waits for passengers to get off a train before he gets on, and sits on a seat while he's travelling, just like a person.
Aylin said Boji reminds people in Istanbul they can still enjoy the city, even while they rush about during their busy days.
Boji提醒大家儘管生活繁忙，仍然可以享受大城市的環境。
德雷克又破告示牌紀錄 Drake Makes Billboard History
A big name singer has broken yet another musical record.
Drake had nine new tracks at once (同時) in the top ten of the Billboard chart.
He is the first artist ever to have that many songs in the first ten spots.
Those tracks were all from his new album, Certified Lover Boy.
德雷克又破了告示牌紀錄，他在十大單曲排行榜同時占住其中九個名次。
Drake did manage to take over the entire top ten on the Rolling Stone chart.
With his new album release, Drake has also tied a record (平紀錄) set by Ariana Grande.
They both have five new songs go to the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
He is also now one of just four acts who had number ones appear in both the album and singles charts at the same time.
德雷克也跟亞莉安娜·格蘭德平紀錄，兩位都有五首新歌佔住排行榜第一名。
