高雄：港都風華　遊艇當家Kaohsiung's Maritime Story across the Ages
JAN. 15,2025 / Analytical Editors

  For tourists looking for a scenic way to spend an afternoon in Kaohsiung, heading to the British Consular Residence of Takao is the perfect choice. Its elevated position allows one to take in the bustling Kaohsiung Harbor to the east and the dazzling sunset over Sizihwan Bay to the west. This elegant red-brick building also serves as a portal to the city's rich history. Interestingly, for 70 years, many people mistakenly identified this residence as the actual consulate.
  對於想在高雄找個風景優美之處度過午後時光的遊客來說，前往打狗英國領事官邸是絕佳之選。官邸所在位置地勢較高，所以向東可以飽覽熙熙攘攘的高雄港，向西則可以欣賞西子灣絢麗的日落。這棟雅致的紅磚建築也是了解高雄市豐富歷史的門戶。有趣的是，許多人曾誤以為這棟官邸是真正的領事館，而這個誤會持續了七十年之久。

A term that captures this idea is “duck syndrome.” It refers to individuals who seem to manage life effortlessly in public but, beneath the surface, they are working hard to keep everything together.
你曾經假裝完美嗎？
  我們很難判斷我們的朋友或家人是否正在經歷心理健康問題。尤其是當他們看起來過著快樂又成功的生活時。然而，表象可能會誤導人。表面上看起來平靜放鬆的人，可能正因內心的挑戰而掙扎。一個能夠描述這種概念的術語是「鴨子綜合症」。它指的是那些在公開場合看似能輕鬆應對生活，但實際上卻努力維持一切的人。

• on the outside   表面上
