Manga artist falls for fake Mark Ruffalo, loses $500,000

漫畫家被假的馬克‧魯法洛迷倒，損失50萬美元

【摘要2022.12.9.五.自由】◎張沛元

The latest work from veteran manga artist Chikae Ide follows her common theme of romance and relationships, but “Poison Love” is quite different than her previous pieces.

（日本）資深漫畫家井出智香惠的最新力作，秉持其一貫的羅曼史與男女關係的主題，但（這部名為）「毒戀」（的漫畫）與其以往的作品大不相同。

First of all, it is based on a true story about a lovestruck woman in an international romance who gets swindled out of 75 million yen ($523,200).

首先，該作品是改編自真實故事，描述一名在跨國戀中被愛情沖昏頭的女子，被人騙走7500萬日幣（52萬3200美元）。

And secondly, the protagonists are Ide herself and a man she believed was Mark Ruffalo, the Hollywood actor who plays the Bruce Banner-Hulk character in the “Avengers” films.

其次，故事主人翁是井出本人，以及與一名她原以為是好萊塢男星馬克‧魯法洛的男子。魯法洛曾在「復仇者聯盟」系列電影中，扮演本名布鲁斯‧班纳的（漫威英雄）浩克。

Ide, 74, says she hopes her latest work, a confession of sorts, will help others avoid being scammed in online international romances.

74歲的井出說，希望她的最新力作或說告白，能協助其他人避免陷入國際網戀騙局。

The Old City of Dubrovnik

君臨城下：杜布羅夫尼克古城

【摘要2022.12.9.五.壹蘋】

In 1979, Dubrovnik became a UNESCO World Heritage site because of its historical importance. In recent years, Dubrovnik began receiving lots of attention for a completely different reason. It was selected by the creators of HBO s Game of Thrones as a place to film many important scenes. In the series, Dubrovnik represented King s Landing, the center of power in Westeros. Since the port city was already surrounded by walls, the show s producers didn t need to make any changes or use special effects to improve the scenery.

1979 年，杜布羅夫尼克因其歷史重要性成為聯合國教科文組織世界遺產。近幾年，杜布羅夫克由於一個迥異的原因獲得大量關注。它被 HBO《權力遊戲》的製片方選為許多重要場景的拍攝地。在這影集中，杜布羅夫尼克代表了維斯特洛的權力中心──君臨城。由於這個港口城市已經被城牆環繞起來了，節目製片不需做任何變動或使用特效去優化場景。
