>Terror godfather next door
拉登生前隐居生活曝光
Details of the comfortable family life Osama bin Laden enjoyed have emerged. The BBC interviewed a 12-year-old boy who said he used to visit the building where bin Laden had died. "He had 2 wives, one spoke Arabic, and the other one spoke Urdu. They had 3 children, a girl and 2 boys. They gave me 2 rabbits," the boy said. Some other local children even regularly made a profit from the presence of the terrorist mastermind. "If a football went into bin Laden's compound the children would not be allowed to get it," said a local ice cream vendor. "They were given money instead; 100-150 rupees ($2-$3) per ball."

>Metal coffee beans invented
金属咖啡豆助饮品保温
The morning coffee is a ritual beloved by hundreds of millions of people around the world. Now a team of inventors has promised to improve this daily pleasure with metal beans that can keep your drink warm for up to 5 hours, the Daily Mail of London reported. The beans, called Coffee Joulies, cool down your beverage to a drinkable temperature 3 times faster than normal, and then maintain that temperature. They work by absorbing extra thermal energy in the drink when it's too hot, and then releasing that stored energy back into the drink to keep it at an optimum temperature as it begins to cool down.
据英国《每日邮报》报道，许多人喜欢每天清早喝一杯咖啡提神，现在一研发小组发明出一种"金属咖啡豆"，可以让咖啡最多保温5小时，延长品味咖啡的乐趣。这种金属咖啡豆名为Coffee Joulies，它能用比正常情况下快3倍的速度把饮品降到适宜饮用的温度，并保持这一温度。金属咖啡豆的工作原理是在饮品温度过高时吸收多余热量，并在饮品开始冷却时释放储存的热量。>A cat's-eye view of life

Ever wonder what the cat gets up to when you let it out? Well, now you know, thanks to the amazing Cooper - the feline photographer, the Daily Mail of London reported. Fitted with a timer-operated camera on his collar, Cooper takes a picture every 2 minutes capturing everything from a cat's eye view. On his exploits he catches other cats, his favorite hiding places, his human owners and even abstract sky shots all on his lens. Cooper's owner Michael Cross and his wife Deirdre, from Seattle, the US, decided to try out the cat camera last year.

奥巴马已死亡？就在基地组织最高头目本·拉登被击毙的消息刚刚传到英美各大媒体耳朵里时，英国广播公司和美国不止一家媒体都犯了一个非常"低级"的错误，将奥萨马·本·拉登(Osama bin Laden)的名字写成了"奥巴马"(Obama)，并宣布"奥巴马已死亡"，大摆乌龙。请看相关报道：In fact, FOX News reported that "Obama bin Laden" was dead. Freudian slip, or wishful thinking? It wasn't even the only one that they made.
事实上，福克斯新闻报道称"奥巴马·本·拉登"已死。是说溜了嘴？还是痴心妄想？他们可不止一次犯下这样的错误了。文中的Freudian slip本意是"弗洛伊德式口误"，就是指无心说出了心里话。根据弗洛伊德的理论，从口误中往往能看出人们内心的真实想法。而有时候你想说的是一回事，但是嘴上说出来的却是另一回事，这种情况一般被说成是a slip of the tongue(说溜了嘴)。福克斯新闻网几乎可以称得上是贴有共和党标签的保守派媒体。比如在之前的医疗改革争论中，《新闻周刊》(Newsweek)曾这样描述："美国现在分成了两派，奥巴马派(The Obama Party)和福克斯派(The FOX Party)"。因此，福克斯的这次口误就很容易被理解为下意识的失言。提到媒体的政治倾向，我们一般用left-leaning(左倾)或者right-leaning(右倾)来形容，而并不将媒体划归left wing(左翼)或者right wing(右翼)的阵营。Wishful thinking一般可以理解为"一厢情愿、痴心妄想、如意算盘"等意思。比如：Could this wishful thinking become a reality?(这个如意算盘能不能打得响？) 【Word Power】
