| 'Wrecked' ship goes around the globe |
“半条船”游历世界 |
| This sorry-looking boat is enough to give any captain a sinking feeling, but ironically this apparent wreck was actually designed to look as though it's heading for a watery grave. The boat, dubbed LoveLove, is the brainchild of French designer Julien Berthier and it has certainly attracted stares and second looks. The bizarre ship, which looks as though it is constantly sinking, sticks out like a sore thumb wherever Berthier takes it, and he has even had police and coastguards sailing to the rescue. But it's completely functional and perfectly safe, Berthier says, and he's traveled the globe aboard LoveLove. |
这艘看似很糟糕的船，无论哪个船长看了都觉得它会沉没，不过这只是假象，这艘船只是看起来像即将倾覆的“失事船只”。这艘名为“爱-爱”的船是法国设计师朱利恩·贝尔蒂埃发明的，（怪异的设计）吸引人们忍不住多看几眼。这艘看起来像要沉没的怪船无论航行到哪里，都十分引人注目。曾经还有警察和海岸警卫队前去救援。但事实上这是艘正常运转的、安全的船，贝尔蒂埃称，他已经乘这艘船游历世界了。 |
| Learning French drives Depp "nuts" |
法语令强尼·戴普抓狂 |
| Johnny Depp may consider France his spiritual home and have Parisian actress and singer Vanessa Paradis as his companion to help, but like so many before him, the subtleties of the Gallic tongue are proving a little frustrating, Reuters reported. Speaking to Reuters ahead of next week's premiere of action-filled, romantic comedy "The Tourist," in which he stars with Oscar winner Angelina Jolie, Depp smiles when asked how his French is coming along. "Good? I don't know. It's difficult still, the conjugation ... the masculine and feminine thing," he said in French with a hint of an American accent. "It drives me nuts", he added. |
据英国路透社报道，强尼·戴普一直视法国为精神家园，而且他有一位来自巴黎的演员兼歌手的伴侣凡妮莎·帕拉迪丝的帮助，可是他却和之前的很多人有同感，就是高卢语言的微妙使他们有些受挫。下周，他与奥斯卡影后安吉丽娜·朱莉主演的动作爱情喜剧电影《游客》将举行首映活动，在接受路透社采访时被问到“法语学习进展如何”，他笑着用带有美国口音的法语答道，“还好吗？我不知道哎。法语对我来说一直都很难，词形变位，还有法语里的阴性阳性。简直把我逼疯了。” |

| 'Super-super size' of knickers |
超大号女式内裤热销 |
| A company that makes the world's biggest panties has been forced to make even larger underwear for women who have 105-inch waistlines, the Daily Mail reports. The Big Bloomers Company was set up by mother and daughter Dianne and Laura Mannering earlier this year making underwear up to XXXXXXXXL for 490-pound women. But they were inundated with calls from obese women around the world claiming they are too small. So the pair have developed their latest range of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL to fit 630-pound women who have a 8.75-foot waistline. Women from New Zealand, France and Australia have already been clamoring for the items, which have been flying off the shelves since going on sale last week. |

| For sale: JFK shooter's coffin |
肯尼迪刺客棺材拍卖 |
| A Los Angeles auction house said Tuesday that it would sell the simple pine coffin in which the suspected assassin of President John F. Kennedy was buried for almost 20 years, Reuters reports. Bidding will start at US$1,000, and it will go on the block on Dec. 16. The coffin was unearthed in October 1981 after a legal dispute between Oswald's widow, Marina, and his brother, Robert. Marina successfully sought an exhumation to test a conspiracy theory that a lookalike Russian agent had been buried in her husband's place. A medical exam showed the badly decomposed body was indeed Oswald's, and he was returned to Shannon Rose Hill Memorial Park in Fort Worth, Texas, in a new casket. |
路透社消息，周二，洛杉矶一家拍卖行宣布要拍卖刺杀前总统约翰·F·肯尼迪的李·哈维·奥斯瓦尔德简陋的松木棺材，他的尸体在里面已经放了差不多20年。拍卖将于12月16日举行，起价一千美元。据悉，此前有阴谋论称，入葬的并不是奥斯瓦尔德本人，而是一个和他很像的俄国间谍。后来，奥斯瓦尔德的遗孀玛瑞娜和其兄罗伯特之间就是否挖掘尸体产生纠纷。1981年10月，奥斯瓦尔德的棺材被挖出来，玛瑞娜的诉求得以满足。而医学鉴定证明，里面高度腐烂的尸体正是奥斯瓦尔德。据悉，他的遗体之后被放进了一个新棺材里，埋葬到了位于德克萨斯州沃斯堡市的香浓玫瑰山纪念公园。
