A bluefin tuna was sold for 36.04 million yen -- around $273,000 -- at the first auction of the year at Tokyo's Toyosu fish market.

The price of the 212-kilogram fish was more than double that of the most expensive fish at last year's New Year's auction: a 211-kilogram fish that sold for 16.88 million yen -- at that time worth $145,000.

Both fish were caught off the coast of the town of Oma in Aomori prefecture.

This year's auction began at 5:10 a.m. on January 5, and around 230 tuna were sold in just 15 minutes.

Seafood wholesaler Yamayuki bought this year's most expensive fish for the sushi restaurant Ginza Onodera. The tuna was served to the restaurant's customers later that same day.

This is the third year in a row that Yamayuki has bought the most expensive tuna. However, prices had fallen in recent years as the restaurant industry suffered during the coronavirus pandemic.

Yamayuki's president Yukitaka Yamaguchi told The Yomiuri Shimbun that the increased price this year "is good news that symbolizes the gradual recovery from the pandemic."

This year's top price was the sixth highest since records began being kept in 1999.

The highest price recorded was at the New Year's auction in 2019 -- just after Tokyo's fish market moved from Tsukiji to Toyosu. At that auction, a 278-kilogram fish was sold for 333.6 million yen -- at that time $3 million -- to Kiyomura Corp., whose owner, Kiyoshi Kimura, runs the Sushi Zanmai restaurant chain.

#16  Short story /  Tanabata / storytelling // N5 Level

Tý phải lòng một anh chàng nha sĩ trẻ, đẹp trai. Thế nên cô thường lấy lý do đi nhổ răng để lén lút đến gặp anh ta. Một hôm, chàng nha sĩ buồn rầu nói:
- Anh nghĩ chúng ta nên dừng lại thôi, chắc chồng em có thể đã bắt đầu nghi ngờ rồi.
Tý ngạc nhiên:
- Làm gì có chuyện đó, chúng ta đã hẹn hò được một năm nay rồi mà chồng em có nói gì đâu.
Chàng nha sĩ khẽ lắc đầu:
- Nhưng em còn có một cái răng thôi, lần sau biết lấy lý do gì để đến gặp anh nữa chứ?

为什么电影院的座椅是红色的？
        当我们有时间想放松一下，就会带着家人来到电影院看一场电影。你是否发现一个问题，电影院的座椅大都是红色的，按理说为了观影效果好，不应该用这么鲜艳的颜色会分散人的注意力。那么电影院的座椅为什么要弄成红色的呢？
        其实弄成红色恰恰是为了观影效果。光线亮的时候，人的眼睛对黄色最敏感，所以黄灯、校车、交通警示牌都用黄色的。光线暗的时候，人的眼睛对绿色最敏感，反而对刺眼的红色不那么敏感。不同颜色与我们眼睛的灵敏度有很大的关系。随着光线变暗，相对其他颜色红色会显得更暗，它是第一个消失在我们视线之中的颜色。
        所以当电影院的影片开场前，所有的灯光关闭后，我们瞬间就看不到红色座椅了，这样就可以更专注地看电影。
