Spanish town vote pets Same Rights as Humans
西班牙一小鎮(zhèn)通過公投賦予寵物“人權”
Animal lovers recently celebrated the news that a landmark[有重大意義的] step has been taken by the residents[居民] of a small Spanish town, recognising cats and dogs as “non-human residents.”
It may only have a population of 330 residents, but the town of Trigueros del Valle voted unanimously[一致地] to define dogs and cats as “non-human residents”, giving them rights similar to men and women. Under the new act[法案], the town has banned “any action that causes the mutilation[殘害] or death of a non-human resident.”
The mayor said: “Dogs and cats have been living among us for over 1,000 years. The mayor must represent not just the human residents but must also be here for the others.”
西班牙一個約三百三十人的小鎮(zhèn)日前通過公投賦予了貓、狗等寵物跟人類同樣的權益,并將其列為“非人類居民”,讓它們成為該鎮(zhèn)“鎮(zhèn)民”。該法案共13條條文,包括“所有居民生而平等,并擁有相同的權益”、“居民不管是否為人類,都應被尊重”、“嚴禁任何導致非人類居民傷殘或死亡的行為”、“不得為人類一己之悅利用非人類居民”等。在新法案的指導下,該鎮(zhèn)已經(jīng)禁止任何導致“非人類居民”傷殘或死亡的活動。而在西班牙風行的斗牛運動和其他流血性運動也將被有效禁止。這確實是人類文明的一大進步。但是我想知道,如果一位狗鎮(zhèn)民咬了另一位貓鎮(zhèn)民,是不是那條狗就要被拉去坐牢?畢竟貓鎮(zhèn)民的人身權利受到了侵犯不是?
Meet Americas Youngest Mayor—3-Year-Old James Tufts
三歲男童成全美最年輕鎮(zhèn)長
A three-year-old James Tufts has become Americas youngest mayor following a successful campaign on Sunday.
Adorable James Tufts followed in his sixyear-old brother Roberts footsteps, who served two terms in the ceremonial[儀式的,正式的] position in Dorset, Minnesota, aged four. James spent election day chatting with voters and wooed[爭取] the tiny town of 22 residents with the promise of ice cream if he won.
The boys mum Emma, a food service director, said: “We are proud of the hard work they both have put into being and becoming mayor. The discipline[行為準則] they have when all they want to do is be kids and people are asking
你三歲的時候在干嘛?反正三歲的我就是個熊孩子,成天傻樂瘋玩。但有一個名叫詹姆斯·塔夫茨的三歲小男孩當上了美國明尼蘇達州多賽特鎮(zhèn)的鎮(zhèn)長!比起來,我們的三歲簡直弱爆了好不好。不過人家是有家族傳統(tǒng)的,上兩任鎮(zhèn)長是詹姆斯六歲的哥哥。不過這個小鎮(zhèn)只有22個居民,選鎮(zhèn)長靠抽簽,付一美元就能參選。哥哥當年靠抓鬮當選,而詹姆斯則承諾,如果贏了就請大家吃冰淇淋(媽媽是食品供應商),然后就當選了。仔細想想,22個居民,起碼有四票(20%)已經(jīng)在他家了,剩下的估計都是親戚,當選是理所當然的事,更何況有人拒絕得了冰淇淋的誘惑嗎?至于鎮(zhèn)長的職責嘛,就是好好長大,有人索要簽名時停下手頭的工作給對方簽名。被萌到!腦補一下總統(tǒng)候選人對選民說:“我請你們吃冰淇淋,你們選我當總統(tǒng)好不好?”畫面太美好了,我好想看一看。

為省托運費,英一歌手套上19件衣物登機致中暑虛脫
A member of a boyband who wanted to avoid an excess luggage[超重行李] fee passed out[失去知覺] on board an easy Jet flight, after wearing all his clothes so he didnt have to pay a £45 sub-charge.
James McElvar thought he was having a heart attack when he lost consciousness[意識] at 37,000 feet flying from London to Glasgow. Little did he know hed passed out from heat exhaustion[中暑虛脫]—having dressed himself in six T-shirts, four jumpers[針織套衫], three pairs of jeans, two pairs of jogging bottoms[慢跑褲], a pair of jackets and two hats.
“I felt it was my only option[選擇] to put on everything,” James told MailOnline. He started undressing as the plane was taking off, but his body temperature had already soared[猛增] to dangerous levels.
是這樣的,有一個boyband(注意,是boyband哦)成員坐飛機時,因為行李超重需要多付45英鎊(約434人民幣),小哥不樂意了,一不做二不休索性把衣物都套身上了。六件T恤、四件套頭衫、兩件夾克、三條牛仔褲、兩條慢跑褲和兩頂帽子上身的小哥表示滋味太酸爽了,是生命不能承受的厚度和熱度。然后這個小帥哥就在飛機上中暑暈倒了,一下飛機就被緊急送醫(yī)。新聞出來后,網(wǎng)友的評論異常精彩:“他長成這個樣子干什么都是對的!”“又帥又會過日子,我很欣賞這樣的小伙子?!薄暗览砦叶级?,可為啥他穿那么多還那么瘦?”“穿這么多還比我瘦,別攔我,我想靜靜”“45磅……換算成人民幣……嗯!換我我也這么干,呵呵?!薄鞍滋觳欢沟暮?,窮人的世界你不懂,我們?yōu)榱硕嗍∫稽c錢就是這么拼!”如果我遇到同樣的情況估計也會這么干,沒辦法,窮人就是這么倔強。不過我會先干了一瓶藿香正氣液。
