(Today is another rainy day. I went to the office in the morning, then visited a traditional medicine doctor in the afternoon. After the acupuncture treatment, I went to the Department of Gynecology at Hengchun Tourism Hospital. A few months ago, I had symptoms of bleeding, and the doctor performed a blood test and an internal examination. The doctor said everything is fine. Thank God.

為什麼用 internal examination取代 internal diagnosis? 在你的句子裡，醫生是做了內診檢查（examination），然後做出診斷（diagnosis），所以應該用 internal examination。

raining day 跟 rainy day 有什麼不同? Rainy 是形容詞，表示「下雨的」 → Rainy day = 一個下雨的日子（正確用法） 例如：It’s a rainy day today. Raining 是動詞進行式，表示「正在下雨」 → 我們會說 It is raining.，但不會說 raining day，因為 raining 不是形容詞，不能直接修飾 day.  換句話說： 形容天氣的時候，要用 rainy day 說「正在下雨」的時候，用 It is raining.)

The coming Saturday has a big election about Taiwan legislator recall.  I am really worried about it.  Because it relates Taiwan's future development.  The China government is trying to control Taiwan by KMT and TPP legislators.  They made several propose laws to extend legislators power and close to CCP. 

(This coming Saturday, there will be a major election concerning the recall of a Taiwanese legislator. I am really worried about it because it relates to Taiwan's future development. The Chinese government is trying to influence Taiwan through KMT and TPP legislators. They have proposed several laws aimed at expanding legislative power and aligning more closely with the CCP.)

Unfortunately, some Taiwanese still don't believe the CCP will attack Taiwan.  Even CCP occupied Taiwan, it will not change their daily life.  No war is the best selection, Taiwan don't need to protect and fight back. 

(Unfortunately, some Taiwanese still don't believe that the CCP will attack Taiwan. They even think that if the CCP occupies Taiwan, it won’t affect their daily lives. They believe avoiding war is the best choice — that Taiwan doesn’t need to defend itself or fight back.

another version: Unfortunately, some Taiwanese still refuse to believe that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) poses a genuine threat to Taiwan. They assume that even if the CCP were to occupy Taiwan, their daily lives would remain unchanged. This mindset leads them to believe that avoiding conflict at any cost is the best option — that Taiwan need not protect itself or resist aggression. However, such thinking underestimates both the CCP’s ambitions and the consequences of losing freedom and sovereignty.)

I pray for God wish the election success.  

(I pray for a successful election, by God's blessing.)

In order to make my life to keep away meaningless app and video.  I am going to make a 30 days project.  30 days is a proper period, I think.  If it is work, I will keep going to try different project.

The goal of this project: Improving English

( ChatGPT edit: In order to keep my life away from meaningless apps and videos, I’m going to start a 30-day project. I think 30 days is a reasonable period. If it works, I’ll continue trying different projects.

Goal of this project: Improve my English.)

Today is Saturday. I planed to go to work but typhoon close to this area.  The weather is pretty bad today.  My house is leaking again.  It is quite frustrated because I fixed it several times.  And the leaking problem is still there.  Anyway I will try again.  I believe I can find the leaking points.

(Today is Saturday. I was planning to go to work, but a typhoon is approaching. The weather is really bad. My house is leaking again. It’s pretty frustrating — I’ve fixed it several times, but the leak keeps coming back. Anyway, I’ll give it another try. I believe I can figure out where the leaks are.）

備註:
1.用 was planning（過去進行式）強調的是：「當時正在考慮/打算」的狀態， 而這個計劃後來被打斷（因為颱風）。 英文裡，當你想表達「原本打算要…但沒發生」時，過去進行式會更貼切。
2.「事情」或「情況」本身不會 感到 frustrated， 所以不能說 It is frustrated.

About the lunch, I cooked stir-fried water lily and tomato sauce shrimps.  The soup is lotus root with mushroom meatball.  About the mushroom meatball,  I was disappointed and the price is a little bit high which compared with other brand.    

(For lunch, I made stir-fried water lily and shrimp in tomato sauce. I also cooked lotus root soup with mushroom meatballs. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed with the meatballs — they didn’t taste as good as I expected, and they were more expensive than other brands.)
