Elephants to be moved to Africa wild
圈养大象将被送归非洲野外
An entire group of elephants from a British zoo will be released into the wild in Africa. This action is praised as “the world first”.
来自英国动物园的一整群大象将被释放到非洲的野外。这一举措被誉为“世界第一”。
The 13 elephants live at an animal park in Kent, southern England, and will be flown more than 7,000 kilometers to Africa, according to a press release from an animal conservation charity.
根据动物保护慈善机构的一份新闻稿，这13头大象现在生活在英格兰南部肯特郡的一个动物公园，它们将被空运到距离7,000 多公里的非洲。
None of the animals have ever lived in the wild. It will be a big challenge for them and for the researchers who have been preparing them for a new environment.
这些大象都没有在野外生活过。对于他们以及一直在为它们适应新环境做准备的研究人员来说，这将是一个巨大的挑战。
It will be the first time that a group of elephants is "rewilded" in the world, organizers say. The charity said that it hopes the project will discourage the global trade in elephants and encourage the return of animals to the wild where possible, adding that no elephants belong to human beings.
组织者说，这将是世界上第一次“野化”一群大象。组织者表示，希望该项目能够打击大象的全球贸易，鼓励将动物尽可能放归野外，并补充说没有大象属于人类。

英媒：泽连斯基称“并未说过先发制人打击俄罗斯，是翻译错了”
英国广播公司(BBC)官网10月7日报道：乌克兰总统泽连斯基说，俄罗斯官员已经开始为可能使用核武器“做社会上的准备”，但他续说，他”不确信俄罗斯已准备好使用核武器”(but added he does not believe Russia is ready to use them)。
在接受BBC采访时，泽连斯基否认曾敦促对俄罗斯进行打击，表示早些时候的一句话被误译了。他说：“你必须使用预防性踢法”，他指的是“制裁”而不是“打击”("You must use preventive kicks," he said, referring to sanctions, "not attacks")。
泽连斯基在基辅的总统办公室用英语说：“他们开始为社会做准备。这很危险。他们还没有准备好去做、去使用它(指核弹—译者注)，但他们开始沟通，他们不知道是要不要使用它。我认为，即便是讨论它也是危险的”(Speaking in English at the president's office in Kyiv, President Zelensky said: "They begin to prepare their society. That's very dangerous. They are not ready to do it, to use it. But they begin to communicate. They don't know whether they'll use or not use it. I think it's dangerous to even speak about it.")。
然后，他又用乌克兰语并通过一名翻译说道：“我们看到的是，俄罗斯掌权者也喜欢活着，因此，我认为使用核武器的风险并不像一些专家所说的那样明确，因为他们明白，使用核武后就没有回头路，不仅是他们国家的历史，而且是他们自己的人格”。
报道说，泽连斯基坚持否认在周四的一次网上呼吁对俄罗斯发动先发制人打击，称他“使用的乌克兰语被误解了”。
报道说，克里姆林宫发言人佩斯科夫谴责泽连斯基的言论为“呼吁发动另一场世界大战”，而俄罗斯外交部长拉夫罗夫则表示，这表明了俄罗斯在乌克兰开展行动的正确性。
泽连斯基说：“经翻译之后，他们(俄罗斯人)就按自己的方式操做了，这对他们是多么有用，并开始向其他方向重新翻译”。
他表示，现在需要采取行动，因为俄罗斯的威胁是“对整个地球的威胁”。他声称，莫斯科“已经迈出了一步”，占领了扎波罗热核电站，这是欧洲最大的核电站，普京总统正试图将其变为俄罗斯的财产。他说，尽管乌克兰工作人员仍在工厂工作，但大约有500名俄罗斯士兵驻扎在那里。他说：“世界可以紧急制止俄罗斯占领者的行动”，“在这种情况下，世界可以实施一揽子制裁方案，并尽一切努力使他们离开核电站”。
报道说，在西方提供的尖端武器的支持下，乌军在东部和南部取得了重大进展，甚至在克里姆林宫声称的、现在“属于俄罗斯的地区”，也夺回了一些城镇和村庄。泽连斯基表示，俄军正在进行“全力战斗”(Russian forces were putting up a "good enough fight")，但乌克兰也收到了武器，“尽管我不会说我们现在有足够的武器，但士兵们被激励着向前推进”。
他还说：“普京害怕的一切，不是核打击，而是他的社会，害怕他的人民。因为现在只有这些人才能取代他，夺走他的权力，让给别人”。当被问及“普京总统能否在乌克兰最终赢得战争中幸存下来”时，他说：“我不在乎”(“Everything Putin is afraid of, and it's not the nuclear hit, he is afraid of his community," he said. He's afraid of his people. Because only those people are capable of replacing him nowadays. Take away his power. Give it to someone else." Asked whether President Putin could survive in an eventual Ukrainian win in the war, he said: "I don't care.")。

孩子凭着整理出来的30个阅读公式，这次考试直接以112考进了班里前三，头一次没有因为英语偏科往下拉低分。
孩子认真地说：“英语真不难，用阅读技巧分析题型，提分比我狂背一个学期的单词快多了！”
·
岳阳的刘冰妈妈说：我家孩子在英语提分上真是走了弯路。自从初二成绩降下来后，我天天盯着孩子背单词，但努力了也不见有效果，孩子反而越学越累，学习积极性也不如以前了。为了让孩子平时在学习上多用心，答应考好就奖励更多零花钱，但孩子光嘴上答应，行动一点儿没有。
·
于是我按邻居学霸妈妈的推荐，让孩子也开始学《英语阅读打卡》，每天15分钟，在句子情境中阅读和拓展词汇量。阅读打卡的过程中，既有对词汇本身的学习，也兼顾到了学科背景和标化考试对词汇基础方面的需要。把一个词学成一句话之后，孩子再去做阅读和完型，甚至写作和听力时，就能一秒反应出词汇的准确意思。英语自然而然的就提升到了110！
·
最后，分享一个词汇成串记忆的小妙招——词根通用法：
pose这个词，意思为“摆姿势”，它作为词根的意思是“put”摆放的意思。因此我们知道“oppose, propose, dispose, expose, impose, compose”等都和“put”摆放相关，这样记忆这些单词就变得容易多了。
如果知道act=to do，to drive“做、干、驱动”那么记忆act，action，actor，actress, active ,activity, activate, actual, exact, reactor，interact，transaction等就非常简单了。

11-07-
Acid attacks are on the rise in the UK. This could be because people can easily buy an acid unlike a large knife or a gun. It is legal to keep acid andpenaltiesfor an acid attack can be lighter, as well. This is also very serious in India, where young girls are attacked with acid.
Acid burns are extremely painful and leave thevictimscarred for life. One video on the Internet shows what to do if youwitnessan acid attack. It is very important to act quickly to water down the acid. Get as much as 60 liters of water. Avoid dirty water, which can spread infection.
Remove all jewelry and clothing that had contact with the acid and keep washing the victim for up to 45 minutes until the burning sensation stops. Do not apply any kind of cream to the affected area and get the victim to a hospital burns unit.
Difficult words:penalty(a punishment for doing something illegal),victim(a person who is attacked),witness(a person who sees a crime).
美媒：拜登说“把痛苦转化为行动”，然而枪击案幸存者则说“我们听到的只是祈祷”
美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)官网5月24日报道：对德克萨斯州学校枪击案，拜登总统星期二晚上在白宫发表动情的讲话(in emotional remarks)，他说：“我曾希望当我成为总统时，我不会再这样做了”(“I had hoped when I became President I would not have to do this again.”)。
拜登说：“有很多我们还不知道。有很多我们的确了解。那些再也见不到孩子的父母，永远不会再有孩子跳到床上拥抱他们了，原来的父母永远都不会再一样了，失去一个孩子就像你的灵魂被撕裂了一样”。拜登之前曾以非常私人的方式讲述过他所经历的家庭悲剧。
在谈到枪支管制立法问题时，拜登恳求立法者“将这种痛苦转化为行动”。他列举了自康涅狄格州纽敦桑迪胡克小学大屠杀以来的一些大规模枪击事件，当时拜登还是副总统。
他说：“我已经厌倦了。我们必须采取行动。不要告诉我我们不能对这场大屠杀产生影响”，他问道：“我们为什么一直会让这种事情发生？”("I am sick and tired of it. We have to act. And don't tell me we can't have an impact on this carnage," the President said, asking: “Why do we keep letting this happen?"）。
拜登说：“看在上帝的份上，我们的脊梁骨有勇气与游说团体打交道并挺身而出吗？”
在CNN另一篇报导中，佛罗里达州帕克兰市马乔里·道格拉斯高中枪击案的幸存者卡梅伦·卡斯基(Cameron Kasky)，则批评拜登对周二德克萨斯州乌瓦尔德一所小学枪击案的反应。
卡斯基在接受美国CNN采访时表示：“我听到很多人在谈论乔·拜登的个人生活，以及他所遭受的可怕的个人损失，这显然让他成为一位富有同情心的领导人。但是，乔·拜登的个人生活与以下事实有什么关系：目前有一种产品(指枪)正由共和党参议员和国会议员们，以及民主党人乔·曼钦先生向美国人推销，而这些被卖给美国人并被植入美国叙事中的东西，就好像代表着自由似的”。
他续说，尽管他赞赏拜登所表现出的同情心，但他的讲话令主张枪支安全的美国人感到失望。
“乔·拜登走到那里，都会谈到失去一名家庭成员是多么可怕……还说，发生大规模暴力很糟糕。他认为这很糟糕，这很好。但我可以告诉你，枪支管制组织者，全国各地相信枪支安全、那些深信有枪就有安全的人，都在等着听到‘行政命令’这个词，而实际上，我们却听到的只是’想法和祈祷’的话”，卡斯基补充道。
他还说，大规模枪击事件在美国已经司空见惯。“每天都会有一起新的事件发生。这还是在好的一天，如果在坏日子里，会有很多”。他还道：“学生们不久又会回到学校，但他们的生活、童年和青少年成长期，都会完全被这场悲剧所影响。从我对帕克兰和所有其他恐怖枪击案的观察来看，这会永久改变人的一生”。
报道的原标题是《Biden's speech was "essentially, thoughts and prayers," Parkland shooting survivor says》(帕克兰枪击案幸存者说，拜登的演讲“基本上是想法和祈祷”)。
