日本多彩面条似霓虹灯

The Japanese are well known for their love of colorful food, which in the past has included black and bright red burgers, and deep blue curry. But a neon sign-like version of Japanese noodles is believed to be a first.

日本人对于五颜六色的食品的热爱是出了名的，以前曾有过红黑汉堡和深蓝咖喱等，但犹如霓虹灯般五颜六色的日本面条，据信还是首次出现。

The udon noodles were given a special treatment by a Japanese scientist who has declined to say exactly what it was that he did to get the electrifying effect. But it appears to involve coloring the noodles with a special dye, and then shining what appears to be ultraviolet light onto them in order to produce the special effect.

这款乌冬面由日本一位科学家进行了特殊改良，但他拒绝透露自己究竟是如何打造出这种带电效果的。不过他似乎是运用了一种特殊的染料为面条上色，接着将其置于紫外线下照射，使其产生特殊的视觉效果。

Many online users want to know what they tasted like after they were posted online by Japanese Twitter user Reraku, a self-proclaimed “bad scientist”.

自称“不良科学家”的日本推特用户Reraku将该面条的照片发到网上后，不少网友表示很想知道面条口感究竟如何。

虎鲸叼海豚划出优美弧线

This is really an amazing moment that a porpoise managed to escape after being targeted by a killer whale. In the pictures, a killer whale leaps into the air all of a sudden to catch a porpoise, curving above the sea level gracefully.

一只海豚被一头虎鲸盯上后成功逃脱，这真是惊心动魄的一刻。照片中，一头虎鲸为了捕捉海豚，突然纵身跃起，在海平面上划了一道优美的弧线。

The spectacular images were taken by Dale Johnson, from America. Dale was on honeymoon in a little town. “It was an incredible experience to witness and photograph,” said Johnson. “It caught everyone in our boat but luckily I had my camera at the ready and was able to fire off a series of shots to capture the moment.”

这些壮观的画面是由来自美国的戴尔·约翰逊拍摄的，那时他正在一个小镇上度蜜月。戴尔说：“见到并拍下这一幕是一次不可思议的经历。它吸引了我们船上的每一个人，但很幸运，我的相机准备好了，所以才能通过一系列的镜头拍下这一刻。”

“It's probably a normal event for these killer whales but something rarely seen by most people so it was really special to catch it on film,” he added.

戴尔又补充道：“这对虎鲸来说也许很寻常，但却是我们绝大多数人见不到的画面，所以用相机拍下来真的很特别。”
