| 'Wrecked' ship goes around the globe |
“半條船”游歷世界 |
| 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. |
這艘看似很糟糕的船，無論哪個船長看了都覺得它會沉沒，不過這只是假象，這艘船只是看起來像即將傾覆的“失事船只”。這艘名為“愛-愛”的船是法國設計師朱利恩·貝爾蒂埃發明的，（怪異的設計）吸引人們忍不住多看幾眼。這艘看起來像要沉沒的怪船無論航行到哪里，都十分引人注目。曾經還有警察和海岸警衛隊前去救援。但事實上這是艘正常運轉的、安全的船，貝爾蒂埃稱，他已經乘這艘船游歷世界了。 |
| Learning French drives Depp "nuts" |
法語令強尼·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. |
據英國路透社報道，強尼·戴普一直視法國為精神家園，而且他有一位來自巴黎的演員兼歌手的伴侶凡妮莎·帕拉迪絲的幫助，可是他卻和之前的很多人有同感，就是高盧語言的微妙使他們有些受挫。下周，他與奧斯卡影后安吉麗娜·朱莉主演的動作愛情喜劇電影《游客》將舉行首映活動，在接受路透社采訪時被問到“法語學習進展如何”，他笑著用帶有美國口音的法語答道，“還好嗎？我不知道哎。法語對我來說一直都很難，詞形變位，還有法語里的陰性陽性。簡直把我逼瘋了。” |

| 'Super-super size' of knickers |
超大號女式內褲熱銷 |
| 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 |
肯尼迪刺客棺材拍賣 |
| 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，洛杉磯一家拍賣行宣布要拍賣刺殺前總統約翰·F·肯尼迪的李·哈維·奧斯瓦爾德簡陋的松木棺材，他的尸體在里面已經放了差不多20年。拍賣將于12月16日舉行，起價一千美元。據悉，此前有陰謀論稱，入葬的并不是奧斯瓦爾德本人，而是一個和他很像的俄國間諜。后來，奧斯瓦爾德的遺孀瑪瑞娜和其兄羅伯特之間就是否挖掘尸體產生糾紛。1981年10月，奧斯瓦爾德的棺材被挖出來，瑪瑞娜的訴求得以滿足。而醫學鑒定證明，里面高度腐爛的尸體正是奧斯瓦爾德。據悉，他的遺體之后被放進了一個新棺材里，埋葬到了位于德克薩斯州沃斯堡市的香濃玫瑰山紀念公園。
