 "Vanity" is a very interesting vocabulary. The first time I noticed this word was in a house renovation TV show (probably the Property Brothers). People in America love this kind of double vanities so much that they keep mentioning this word. But when I looked up "洗手台" ( the Chinese word of vanity) on the internet, the results were "washbasin, sink, hand basin…" None of them were what I had heard on the TV program. And they are also not vanities! Then I looked up the English word "vanity", and the Google Translator says it is "pride, arrogant and extravagant". None of them relate to the bathrooms! Finally I found a suitable explanation in the fifth description on the dictionary : a dressing table. It can refer to a dressing table without basins (but with a mirror) or one that settled in a bathroom like the picture.

【 Taipei Times 】  OPTIMISTIC GOAL: The Ministry of Education plans to choose four schools that would be models for the policy, which some university presidents said would pose challenges 計畫願景：教育部預計挑選四所大學作為示範學校，但部分校長認為這個目標過於艱鉅。   By Rachel Lin, Wu Po-hsuan and William Hetherington / Staff reporters, with staff writer   為了用英文授課增加外師比例和國際學生，這對於台灣的全球定位真的會有幫助嗎？ 歐洲國家很多人英文流利，但是他們的語言本來就有相似性。 日本和韓國英文程度也不見得很好，雖然他們的確為此苦惱，但卻仍能在世界中佔據要角。 台灣想要轉型成雙語國家，推行全英語教育，還是必須先問問這麼做的目的究竟何在？
