- Alex, did you celebrate Lantern Festival in Taiwan?
- Yes, I did. Some years my family went to Pingxi and watched thousands of lanterns rise into thesky.
- That's a yearly event. I'd like to see it. It sounds amazing.
- It's beautiful, but I worry about the environment.
- True, because all those lanterns come back down to earth and become litter.
——阿莱克斯，你们台湾人庆祝元宵节吗？
——庆祝呀。有几年我们一人去平溪，看数以千计的天灯飞上天。
——这是一年一度的活动。我想去看看。听起来很棒。
——场景非常美，但是我很担心环境。
——没错，因为那些灯会回到地面，变成垃圾。
