事情其實很簡單,是吧?……我一開始也是這麼以為的。


當店小妹把我的「肉絲湯餃」端來的時候,我差一點沒把隱形眼鏡給瞪到碗裡頭去。

Large wind farms might also interfere with the flight patterns of migratory birds in certain areas, and they have killed large birds of prey (especially hawks, falcons, and eagles) that prefer to hunt along the same ridge lines that are ideal for wind turbines.

The killing of birds of prey by wind turbines has pitted environmentalists who champion wildlife protection against environmentalists who promote renewable wind energy.
