死灰復燃的地平論
In elementary school, students learn that the planet is round. Over the centuries, lots of scientific data have proven this. However, a small portion of the population still doesn’t embrace this idea. They believe that the earth is flat like a pancake. Belief in a flat earth was common in ancient times when people also thought the earth never moved. As science progressed, people began exploring and mapping the world’s oceans, and eventually these myths were proven false.
學生在上小學時會學到地球是圓的。幾世紀下來，許多科學證據也證明了這點。然而世界上仍有少部分人群不接納這樣的想法。他們相信地球的形狀平坦如煎餅。地平說在古代是一件很普遍的想法，當時的人也認為地球永遠不動。隨著科學的進步，人們開始探索全球的海洋並為其繪製地圖，而最終這些迷思也被證明不實。
