The Singer and the Selfie

空中飛「機」

【摘要2022.5.25..蘋果】

Last night, Kelly went to her favorite singer’s concert. With thousands of people there, Kelly stood in the section right in front of the stage. As the concert began, the singer appeared on stage with a spotlight shining on him. Just a stone’s throw from the stage, Kelly was extremely excited to see her idol in person. During the performance, Kelly filmed the singer with her phone while dancing to the music. As the music got louder, Kelly got caught up in the moment.

昨晚,凱莉去了她最喜愛的歌手的演唱會。那邊有數以千計的人,凱莉站在舞臺正前方的區域。演唱會開始時,歌手出現在舞臺上,聚光燈打在他身上。距離舞臺僅咫尺之遙,凱莉非常興奮可以親自見到她的偶像。在表演途中,凱莉一邊拿著手機錄歌手,一邊隨著音樂起舞。隨著音樂越來越大聲,凱莉沉浸於當下。

生活必備字詞:

a stone’s throw from... 距離……咫尺之遙

Pope says June meeting with Russian Orthodox Patriarch is off

(教宗說六月與俄羅斯東正教牧首的會面取消了)

【摘要2022.5.25..自由】管淑平

Plans for Pope Francis to meet in June with Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill, who has backed Russia’s war in Ukraine, have been suspended, the pope has told an Argentine newspaper.

天主教教宗方濟各告訴阿根廷一家報紙,他六月與俄羅斯東正教牧首基里爾會面的計畫已經暫停;基里爾支持俄羅斯在烏克蘭的戰爭。

A Vatican source said on Friday that it had been at an advanced stage, with even the location for the meeting chosen.

一名梵蒂岡消息人士週五說,這項計畫已經到了後期階段,甚至選好了會面地點。

Francis told La Nacion in an interview that he regretted that the plan had to be "suspended" because Vatican diplomats advised that such a meeting "could lend itself to much confusion at this moment".

方濟各在訪問中向「國家報」說,他很遺憾這項計畫必須「暫停」,因為教廷外交官員建議,這類會面在「這種時候可能造成許多困擾」。

The 85-year-old Francis has several times implicitly criticised Russia and President Vladimir Putin over the war, using terms such as unjustified aggression and invasion. (Reuters)

85歲的方濟各曾經為這場戰爭,數次含蓄地批評俄羅斯和俄國總統普廷,使用諸如不公義的侵略、入侵等字眼。(路透)
