[NY Times] Taiwan’s Gay Pride Parade Draws Thousands, as Votes on Same-Sex Marriage Near

Taiwan’s Gay Pride Parade Draws Thousands, as Votes on Same-Sex Marriage Near (New York Times)

By Chris Horton

TAIPEI, Taiwan — A year ago, participants in Taipei’s annual gay pride parade — the biggest event of its kind in East Asia — had a lot to celebrate.

Taiwan’s constitutional court had given the government until May 2019 to legalize same-sex marriage, ruling that the civil code’s definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman was unconstitutional. If the government didn’t meet the deadline, the court said, same-sex marriage would simply become legal automatically.

寫作好幫手 Describing Words & Ludwig

1. Describing words: http://describingwords.io/
只要在搜尋列打上名詞，這網站就會提供常用的形容詞(再點Sort by Frequency)，寫作沒靈感時可以用用看。
我建議是點 Sort by Usage Frequency，比較安全
如果是 Sort by Uniqueness，我覺得太特殊了XD

department VS mall VS outlet mall

[以下節錄自 Advanced Broadcast 107/9/4]
1. Department store (百貨公司) is one store. They may be in the mall.

2. A mall (商場) is just a collection of many different department stores.

3. An outlet mall (暢貨中心)usually means that the stores that you go to there, are cheaper, like you won't spend that much money at those stores. Maybe the same store you go to in the regular mall, but it's uh, maybe the prices are lower. That sort of thing.

(So you mentioned that much of this E-DA business stuff was located kind of outside of downtown Kaohsiung. That's often where you find out the malls, because the cost of the real estate for the mall is much lower, and so costs overall can be lower. So people often feel outlet malls are a great place to get good deals when you're shopping.)
