Thousands of Muslims in several parts of the world protested against France and its president, Emmanuel Macron, who has defended the publishing of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Effigies were burned in Afghanistan and Bangladesh; crowds in Pakistan tried to march on the French embassy. Killings in Paris and Nice, condemned by Mr Macron as Islamist terrorist attacks, increased the tension.

effigy:名人,圣人或神的雕像,塑像
march:齐步走,行进
condemn:谴责

An earthquake of magnitude 7.0 **struck off the west coast of Turkey, causing buildings to collapse in the province of Izmir. The quake was felt across the Aegean Sea in Greece and as far away as Istanbul. At least 14 people died, though a country that lost 17,000 lives to a quake in 1999 may have feared worse.
magnitude:巨大的
struck off:打掉

America broke its single-day record for new covid-19 cases on Thursday. It reported 88,521 cases, a rise of 9,540 on the previous day. The number of hospitalisations has risen sharply, putting health systems in some places under pressure. “Our hospitals cannot keep up with Utah’s infection rate,” tweeted Gary Herbert, the governor of the state.

hospitalisation:住院治疗

The euro zone’s GDP grew by 12.7%, seasonally adjusted, in the three months between July and September. The bounce followed an 11.8% drop in the previous quarter. The recovery is likely to be temporary, as measures to control a second wave of covid-19 are imposed across the continent.

seasonally adjusted:季节性修正
bounce:反弹

不应把国家/政体概念抽象成母亲,期待对方能给予母亲般的关怀,如关切个体的不被牺牲;这样终究是会失望的。它是利维坦,是万人运做的机器,它只站在简单多数的利益去行事,站在自我稳定的利益去行事。
想清楚这一点,我所关怀的,我所付出的,都应是为了我希望帮助的和关照的个体,而不是虚无的意识概念。

因为新闻播,想起来今天看到的英文新闻

@serum123 这类不会允许出现的,风险太高。没人会在意一个个人的(非自己的)成果,对上面的任务能交差了事,不会带来麻烦,有事能推锅就好了。其他和自己又有什么关系。所以看到了心里清楚就好了。

@tiaozi 场面上的东西看看就得,把自己每天充实起来,快乐一点点对自己来说更重要 :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

Maple rush: Canada’s economy

Canada’s official statistics agency is expected to report strong GDP growth for August today—perhaps as much as 0.8%, month-on-month. The economy rebounded strongly in the summer; around three-quarters of the jobs lost in the steep covid-19 recession were replaced, compared with just 56% in America. Thanks to the reopening of schools and childcare facilities, labour-force participation rates in Canada have risen by six percentage points among people aged 25-54 since April. But that pace will not last, as another spike in covid-19 infections buffets the country. New cases average about 2,500 daily; cumulative deaths recently exceeded 10,000. Restrictions are back on bars, gyms, indoor gatherings and home visits in many places. Given that, it is no surprise that the Bank of Canada is forecasting bad news. The central bank predicts that GDP will grow by just 0.2% in the fourth quarter and shrink by 5.7% in 2020 overall.

month-on-month:环比增长
rebound:反弹,回弹
recession:经济衰退
spike:尖物
buffet:对……打来打去,将……推来搡去
cumulative:累计的
exceed:超过

@apatite 😂 不要这样,我在大喊大叫边缘挣扎

犹豫现在走还是晚点时候走,工作其实还有可以作的,但已经不想动了……可想想周一可能出现的乱麻,我要不要整理下再走

刚听到罗永浩直播边吃边暗暗的开车,开始觉得我没看过罗永浩的直播也是正确的。

三星在国内代言找的大张伟……那个视频画面……我有点承受不起😂 脑阔疼

@apatite 试过一次,好像不太成功。回头再试试去

晚上《青春记录》,白天《女王的棋局》真的都好好看!
