时装周设计师聚焦中国
Presenting luxurious dresses at London Fashion Week, designers said they have a certain market in sight in China, Reuters reported. "We're all in a recession but China isn't, China is booming," designer Julien Macdonald said. "The new money is in China, every designer in the world wants to break into China." Harold Tillman, chairman of the British Fashion Council, said he was taking a group of designers to Hong Kong next month to show their products. "Next year I'm taking them to Beijing and Shanghai. So we are working on getting the audience," he said.
据路透社报道，在近日的伦敦时装周上，各路设计师在纷纷展示奢华服饰的同时表示，他们看好中国市场。设计师朱利安·麦克唐纳德表示:"现在，全球经济都不景气，只有中国经济仍在蒸蒸日上。新的挣钱机遇在中国，全球设计师都想打入中国市场。"英国时装协会主席哈罗德·提尔曼表示，下月他将带领一批设计师赴香港展示作品。提尔曼称:"明年，我还会带他们去北京和上海。我们正努力吸引观众的眼球。"Did You Know?

>Palestine seeks UN membership
巴勒斯坦提交入联申请
Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas Friday formally presented the application letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in a bid to seek UN recognition of Palestine as its 194th full member state, Xinhua reported. The UN Security Council will have consultations Monday afternoon on the application of Palestine for UN membership, said Nawaf Salam, Lebanese UN ambassador and Security Council president for September.
据新华社报道，巴勒斯坦民族权力机构主席阿巴斯23日向联合国秘书长潘基文当面递交了巴勒斯坦寻求成为联合国第194个会员国的申请。联合国安理会本月轮值主席、黎巴嫩常驻联合国代表萨拉姆说，安理会将于26日下午就此进行磋商。 >18 killed in Yemeni clashes
也门总统回国冲突再起
At least 18 people were killed and 35 wounded Friday in fierce clashes that rocked Yemen's capital Sanaa hours after President Ali Abdullah Saleh returned from Riyadh and called for a cease-fire between his troops and foes, Al-Sahwa.net, the news website of Yemen's main opposition party Al-Islah, reported.
据也门主要反对党Al-Islah新闻网站Al-Sahwa.net报道，也门总统萨利赫23日从利雅得返回也门并呼吁政府军与反对派武装分子停火，仅数小时后也门首都萨那就发生激烈冲突，造成至少18人死亡，35人受伤。>NBA cuts preseason games
NBA宣布取消季前赛事
Forty-three exhibition games were wiped from the NBA calendar Friday, the first significant fallout from a labor crisis that could soon threaten the regular season, The New York Times reported. The league canceled its first week of games, scheduled for Oct 9-15, and indefinitely postponed training camps, which were set to begin on Oct 3. This is the first time since 1998, and only the 2nd time in league history, that the league has lost games to a labor standoff. Regular-season games will be jeopardized if no deal is in place by the first week of October.
据《纽约时报》报道，由于劳资谈判尚未达成协议，NBA官方23日宣布取消43场季前赛，常规赛能否如期开战也悬而未决。同时，将于10月3日开始的训练营也被无限期推迟。NBA季前赛原定于10月9至15日进行，是下赛季的首周比赛。NBA因劳资纠纷取消比赛是1998年以来的头一回，即使在其历史上也仅有一次先例。季前赛被迫取消是NBA劳资纠纷的首个严重后果，如10月第一周双方仍无法达成协议，下赛季常规赛恐也将被砍。 【In Brief】

>ROK bank chief's suicide
韩储蓄行行长跳楼身亡
The president of Seoul's Jeil 2 Savings Bank, which was suspended on Sept 18, jumped to his death Friday in an apparent suicide, highlighting intense pressure on troubled junior lenders and regulators from enraged customers, Reuters reported. While the savings bank debacle has had little impact on the financial system of the country, it was a further blow to the political credibility of the conservative Lee Myung-bak government, which has come under fire for its perceived inability to stop record-high inflation and a growing wealth gap.
据路透社报道，韩国首尔第二储蓄银行行长23日跳楼自杀身亡。该行于18日被关停，此事凸显该银行18日关停后，困境中的小银行和监管者承受着来自愤怒储户的巨大压力。虽然该储蓄行关停事件对该国金融体系没太大影响，但却进一步打击了李明博政府的政治信誉。因无法遏制高通胀和不断扩大的贫富差距，李明博政府一直备受诟病。[事件回放]
Jeil 2 and its sister bank, the listed Jeil Savings Bank, were among 7 banks slapped with temporary suspensions by financial regulators on Sept 18.
韩国金融监管机构18日勒令第二储蓄银行及姊妹行第一储蓄银行等7家储蓄银行暂停营业。 【Kaleidoscope】
>3km wedding veil sets record
意新娘创最长婚纱纪录
An Italian bride named Elena De Angelis has broken the Guinness World Record for longest wedding dress by arriving at the church with a 3km long veil, the Daily Mail of London reported Friday. The dress is made from 6,000 meters of silk, and the veil stretches for miles. It would take Usain Bolt running at blistering world-record pace almost 5 minutes to run its full length.
据英国《每日邮报》23日报道，一位名叫伊琳娜·安琪罗斯的意大利新娘创造了最长婚纱的吉尼斯纪录。伊琳娜的梦幻婚纱由6000米丝绸制成，其头纱绵延3公里，就算是博尔特以世界纪录的速度从头飞奔到尾也需要5分钟。【Language Tips】

cutecat：在这个鱼龙混杂的社会，想要做到关键时候对需要帮助的人伸出援手，又不遭骗，对各种信息加以分析并做好应有的风险防范，例如邀请第三方加入等，恐怕才是上上之策。北京 1870***6901
吉斯：被恶人蒙蔽过一次，并不能成为第二次不再理会陌生人的理由。若面前有个急需帮助的人，我便一定会上前――若是个骗子，我最多损失了身外之物，何况若非骗子，我岂能救人一条人命？而且骗子最多骗走你的钱财，不要让他们连你内心的柔软都带走了！上海 1362***3174
囡人：记得九月份刚到上海火车站，被两个女人(一老一少)以差钱买火车票为由骗走20元，后来被我识破，当我把这事说给朋友听的时候，朋友都笑我笨。现在想想自己当时太天真，太单纯了，轻易相信陌生人的话，上当就不能全怪骗子了。
