Sarah Sanders booted out
白宫发言人遭遇'逐客令'


White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Saturday she was booted from a Virginia restaurant because she works for President Donald Trump, becoming the latest administration official to experience a brusque reception in a public setting. 
白宫新闻秘书萨拉•桑德斯23日称,自己在弗吉尼亚州一间餐厅用餐时,被餐厅老板要求离开,理由是她为特朗普总统效力。这是最新一起特朗普政府官员在公开场合受辱的事件。

Sanders tweeted that she was told by the owner of the Red Hen in Lexington, Virginia, she had to "leave because I work for @POTUS and I politely left." "I always do my best to treat people, including those I disagree with, respectfully and will continue to do so," Sanders said in the tweet, which generated 22,000 replies in about an hour. 
桑德斯在推特发文说,弗吉尼亚列克星敦的红母鸡餐厅的老板亲自让她离开,因为她为特朗普工作,于是她礼貌地离开了。桑德斯表示,一直以来她都尽己所能善待他人,其中包括与自己持不同看法的人,并且将来仍将继续如此。推文发出约一个小时后就收到2.2万条留言。


The confrontation comes at a particularly tense time in American politics, with protests growing over the Trump administration's zero-tolerance border policy that has separated children from parents.

这次冲突发生的时间正值美国政坛紧张氛围加剧,对于导致骨肉分离的特朗普政府零容忍边境政策的抗议声日益加大。

UK faces beer shortage
英CO2不足或致啤酒短缺


Pubs in Britain could run dry as the country is hit by the worst shortage of carbon dioxide in decades. World Cup festivities and summer barbecues are set to be hindered. The shortages are understood to have been caused by a longer than usual break in production of ammonia. 

英国遭遇数十年来最严重的二氧化碳短缺,酒吧面临啤酒和碳酸饮料供应不足,世界杯庆祝活动和夏季烧烤季将受到影响。据悉,由于氨气生产歇业较以往时间变长,导致了二氧化碳短缺。

Trade journal Gas World said the UK was hit particularly hard as only one major CO2 plant was operating earlier this week and imports from the continent had been affected by shut-downs in Benelux and France. The shortage appeared likely to continue for the remainder of June at least.
英国业界刊物《气体世界》指出,英国受危机的影响最大,本周早些时候仅有一家主要的二氧化碳工厂仍在运营,而且由于比荷卢和法国的工厂歇业,进口也受到影响。这种情况可能至少会持续到六月底。

Clock wakes you up with aromas
神奇闹钟用香味叫醒你


Nobody likes the sound of an alarm clock in the morning. At the moment, there is really no good way to be woken from a comforting slumber, but one company wants to change that - by waking you up with your favorite smells. 
没有人喜欢早晨的闹钟铃声。目前,要想从睡眠中舒适地醒来确实没什么好办法,但有一个公司希望改变这一点——用你喜欢的气味来叫醒你。

The company offers more than 10 scents to get you out of bed, including freshly brewed coffee, warm cookies, squeezed orange juice or the seaside. The alarm works by first activating the selected scent. Then, one minute later, a pattern of lights is triggered on its face. 
这家公司提供超过10种不同的气味叫醒你,包括新鲜煮好的咖啡、暖烘烘的饼干和鲜榨橙汁,甚至还有海滩香味。闹钟的运行方式是首先激活所选的气味。然后,一分钟后,它的表盘会触发一种特定的灯光效果。

Finally, after one more minute, a gentle melody begins - just in case the wafting smell hasn't already woken you up. Each individual smell capsule offers 30 wake-up calls, and you can easily change capsules to switch morning aromas from day to day.
最后,再过一分钟,一段轻柔的旋律开始了——这只是以防飘出的气味还没有把你叫醒。每个气味胶囊能提供30次叫醒,并且你可以轻易地更换胶囊以改变每日早晨的香味。

De Beers to sell lab stones
钻石巨头发售人造钻石


The world's largest diamond miner is doing the unthinkable: Selling stones produced in a laboratory. De Beers launched a new jewelry brand that features synthetic diamonds, a major reversal for a company that implored consumers to stick with "real" stones. 
世界最大钻石开采商正在做一件令人难以想象的事情:出售实验室中制造出来的钻石。戴比尔斯近日发布一个新的珠宝品牌,主打人造钻石。这家公司此前一直恳求消费者坚持购买"真正的"钻石,如今,他们的经营战略出现重大改变。


The brand, called Lightbox, will offer synthetic diamonds at a fraction of the price it charges for stones pulled out of the earth. De Beers framed the move as a response to consumer demands. 

这一名为"灯箱"的珠宝品牌将提供人造钻石,其价格仅为天然开采出的钻石的一个零头。戴比尔斯称此举是为了满足消费者的需求。


The new synthetic diamonds will come in pink, blue and white, and stones will contain a tiny Lightbox logo. De Beers said the logo won't be visible to the naked eye, but it will make the stones easily identifiable as lab-grown.

这些新型人造钻石的颜色有粉色、蓝色和白色,钻石上带有微小的"灯箱"品牌标识。戴比尔斯表示,这一标识肉眼无法看到,但让人造钻石很容易被区分开来。
