没听过，对他不感兴趣，不过好像很多人挺喜欢他的演讲的。

……
THE PRESIDENT: That’s enough. Put down the mic.
Q Mr. President, are you worried about indictments coming down in this investigation?
Q Mr. President —
THE PRESIDENT: I’ll tell you what: CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN.
Go ahead.
Q I think that’s unfair.
THE PRESIDENT: You’re a very rude person. The way you treat Sarah Huckabee is horrible. And the way you treat other people are horrible. You shouldn’t treat people that way.

Remembrance Day, also known as Poppy day
阵亡将士纪念日，亦称为罂粟花日
                罂粟花日的出处，有诗为证。（网上有译文）

"In Flanders Fields" （在法兰德斯战场）
    by Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae.（作者）

In Flanders fields the poppies blow（佛兰德斯，罂粟盛开）
    Between the crosses, row on row,
  That mark our place; and in the sky
  The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
  Loved and were loved, and now we lie
      In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
  The torch; be yours to hold it high.
  If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
      In Flanders fields.

Its references to the red poppies that grew over the graves of fallen soldiers resulted in the remembrance poppy becoming one of the world's most recognized memorial symbols for soldiers who have died in conflict.
诗中提到阵亡将士的坟间长满了鲜红的罂粟花，此后罂粟花便被作为纪念阵亡将士的象征。

是日英语学习：图书馆的通知
Get in the libraries good books!
归来吧，好书。
Ku-ring-gai libraries are offering a fine amnesty between 1 and 14 December for tardy borrowers who return their items during the two week period.
库灵盖属下图书馆大赦。老赖们可在这两周内归还迟迟未还的借书。
No questions will be asked ...... and library staff are hoping their gesture of goodwill will be matched with a haul of forgotten books and other items.
迟还不问缘由，只愿善意到头来终有报，好书归架。
Items can also be returned via the after hours chutes for borrowers unable to attend the library during opening hours.
遇图书馆关门时间归还物品的，可利用还书槽（悄悄）归还。
Those who take advantage of the fine amnesty are also being encouraged to bring in a donated hamper gift of food or toys to the library for the Mayor’s Christmas Appeal.
对图书馆举措心存感恩者，可响应市长号召，为区内有需要人士捐助圣诞食品或玩具。

悔没早看到这大赦信息。
上二月借了本书，到期前几天就想着去还，后来上网发现可续借，但鬼使神差，半途有事，没完成操作，就忘了。过了归期几天才又发现书还躺在那里。
赶紧的。到了图书馆，认错，领罚。二大元。
如早看到这个通知。 不论怎么说，一切应按规矩办。

Sausage sizzle 啫啫香肠摊上事了

Sausage before onion or onion before sausage? It’s one of the key decisions Australians will not be making this weekend after Bunnings told all groups staffing the stores’ barbecues to put the onions on first.
香肠与洋葱，孰先孰后?从这个周末始，邦宁通告属下所有BBQ店员：洋葱优先。此日起，澳洲人民BBQ时便要作出抉择。

At the ASEAN summit 在东盟峰会上
an unidentified reporter wanted to know the Prime Minister’s opinion on an issue which has divided the nation — where we should place the onions inside a Bunnings sausage sanga.
一位身份尚未确认的记者就一个导致国民互掐的问题请澳洲总理的发表高见：邦宁热狗中的洋葱座次在哪？
“Whether the onions are on top or underneath or on top, I’ll always be buying sausages on bread whether it’s at the football, whether it’s at Bunnings or anywhere I can assist to those great charitable causes,” he said.
总理：洋葱能上能下。不论在球场，在邦宁，及在所有能为崇高的慈善事业略尽微力的地方，我都买热狗。

昨天看到鸭妈妈领着小鸭子们过繁忙的车道，司机们被迫刹车停下来，目送一家老小慢慢过去。奇葩的是，过去之后没有一分钟，鸭妈妈又领着小鸭子们往回返，交通再次中断。
