【摘要2020.4.14.蘋果】

You don’t even need to be a police officer to solve mysteries. Anyone can do it if they are willing to follow some steps. The first step is to take note of details right from the start. When you are investigating, keep track of everything.

If you are at a crime scene, examine everything carefully. After you have some evidence and facts, you can create a timeline. Also, remember to follow every lead. Finally, if things get tough, don’t give up.

你甚至不需要當警官也能解決謎團。任何人如果願意依循一些步驟都能做得到。第一個步驟就是，從最一開始就仔細注意細節。在調查時，你要追蹤注意一切事物。

若你身處犯罪現場，請仔細端詳所有東西。有了一些證據及事實後，你就能建立一條時間軸。此外，記得追查每條線索更多學習內容。最後，如果情況變得很艱困，也請不要放棄。

Malaysia supermarket creates grocery shopping guide for clueless husbands

馬來西亞超市推出專屬無頭緒丈夫的商品購物指南

【摘要2020.4.14.自由】◎黃靖媗

Malaysia’s movement control order（MCO）states that only the "head of the household" should be allowed to leave the house to purchase necessities, and although it didn’t state whether the person should be male or female, the husbands probably took it upon themselves to accomplish "mission grocery shopping".

馬來西亞的行動管制令（MCO）指出，只有「一家之主」被允許出門採購必需品，雖然管制令並未明說這個人應該是男性還是女性，但是丈夫們較有可能承擔這項「買東西任務」。

In hilarious posts shared by Malaysians Cheanu Chew and Muzaffar Rahman on Facebook, they observed many men looking clueless in supermarket aisles while glued to their phones. These "remote shoppers", as Chew called them, were presumably receiving instructions from their wives to ensure that they got the grocery list right.

馬來西亞人Cheanu Chew與Muzaffar Rahman在「臉書」發布的一則滑稽貼文中指出，他們觀察到許多看起來毫無頭緒的男性，在超市走廊上黏著手機不放。被Chew稱為「遙控購物者」的人們，想必正在接收妻子的指示，確保他們買對採購清單上的物品。

Now, supermarket chain Tesco in Malaysia has come to the rescue, with an ingenious hack to put all their troubles to rest. The shopping guide "for husbands" provides pictures of basic ingredients with captions, and also breaks it down to the nitty-gritty.

現在，馬來西亞的連鎖超市Tesco投入救援，巧妙地解決他們的麻煩。「給丈夫」的商品指南提供基本商品的圖片與名稱，並將其細分。
