1 Carrot Held Man’s Missing Wedding Ring

萝卜带着戒指“破土而出”

An 82-year-old man from Germany found his lost wedding ring wrapped[包裹]around a growing carrot after losing it in his garden three years ago, according to German news outlet[电视台]WDR, Nov. 10th, 2016.

The man said his wife told him the ring would reappear[重新出现]after it fell into the dirt[泥土]while he was gardening shortly after[在……不久后]they celebrated their 50thwedding anniversary[周年纪念].

Six months after his wife’s death, the ring surfaced[显现].

After fnding the ring around the middle of the carrot, the man said that sometimes “you reap[收获]what you sow[播种].”

浅由有话说：世上还有比这更蹊跷幸运的事吗？三年前丢的戒指竟还能失而复得？什么？它竟然还附在新鲜的萝卜上，让萝卜带着它“破土而出”了？！别人是“种瓜得瓜，种豆得豆”，而这位老爷爷种个萝卜还能把丢失的戒指给“种”回来，也真真是神奇又幸运的事儿！值得一提的是，老爷爷的妻子曾告诉他，戒指掉进土里的话，它总有一天会再次出现的。而就在老婆婆去世后不久，戒指真的重新出现了！不知道这是否冥冥中就早已注定了呢？

2 Australian Faced Fine for Using Drone to Deliver Sausage

用无人机运送香肠被罚了？

Authorities[当局]in Australia were investigating[调查]a video of a man using a drone[无人机]to deliver[运送]a sausage[香肠].

The video featured[特写]the drone fying to a local hardware store[五金店]to pick up a sausage, which it was later delivered to a man in a hot tub[浴盆].

The drone pilot, Tim, said the video was “just a bit of fun.”

Authorities said, “We want to see people have fun with their drones. But if you don’t respect the rules, then you just put people at risk[处于危险中]and there are fnes[罚款]for doing that.”

浅由有话说：这又是怎么回事呢？一个视频竟然惊动了澳大利亚民航安全局？！噢，原来是有个小伙子利用无人机运送香肠。他觉得这样很好玩，殊不知玩着玩着就“过头”了。他操控的无人机早就超过规定的驾驶范围，还经过了人多的地方，这就违反当地民用无人机的使用规则了，最后还得面临处罚。幸好这次违规操作并无造成什么人员伤害，但还是给大家好好上了一课！虽说科技产品新鲜又有趣，但好玩归好玩，一定要注意守法、注意安全哦！

3 Animal Fight Night: Home-wrecking Penguin

属于企鹅的“搏击夜”

Romance[浪漫]. Jealousy[嫉妒]. Violence. Heartbreak.

It’s easy to see why “Home-wrecking[家庭破灭]Penguin[企鹅],” a short video clip[片段]posted on Nov. 3rd, has internet users around the world talking about it. The clip features a penguin returning to his nest[巢]to fnd that another male penguin is already living with his mate[配偶]. A vicious[凶猛的]battle follows.

The video’s narration[旁白]is almost as brutal[残忍的]as the fght itself. You really have to watch for yourself, but it does include the cruel[残忍的]line[台词], “She has no time for losers.”

Anyway, Twitter[推特]users couldn’t get enough of the penguin drama[戏剧性事件].

浅由有话说：最近有一段关于两只企鹅打架的视频在社交网站推特上走红。从这段视频中可以看到，一只企鹅回家后发现自己的配偶正与另一只企鹅栖身在一起。它怒不可遏，为了这个家，为了它的配偶，它努力争取着主权地位，向对方宣战。看这阵势，它们不到分出胜负是绝不罢休的，定要拼个“你死我活、头破血流”！这实在是太凶残了，我也不知道说什么好了。

4 Woman Won $43 Million Prize—But All She Got Was Meat

中了43 00万奖金就只得到了一顿肉？

An unemployed[失业的]mother of four said she was suing[控告]Resorts World Casino[名胜世界赌场]in Queens[皇后区], New York City, after a slot machine[老虎机]showed she won $43 million―but all she got was a steak dinner.

“I feel like they did me real dirty[卑劣手段],” Katrina Bookman said.

In August, Bookman thought she had won a life-changing[改变一生的]jackpot[头奖]when a message on the monitor[显示屏]said, “Printing Cash Ticket $43, 949, 672.76.” She took a selfie with her glowing[容光焕发的]face next to the words.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Bookman said. “My body went numb[失去知觉的].”

That’s when the stunning[令人震惊的]reversal[反转]of fortune began, as casino personnel[工作人员]and security[安保]asked her to leave and return the next day for the decision regarding[与……有关]her jackpot.

When Bookman returned, they told her that she had won nothing because the machine malfunctioned[出故障]. So instead, she was offered a steak dinner. She declined[拒绝].

“The machine takes your money when you lose. It ought to pay money when you win,” her attorney[代理律师], Alan Ripka, told

the station.

浅由有话说：话说有一位妇女在老虎机上赢了4300万奖金，就在她看到自己中奖后，身体都不由得颤抖了。缓了一会儿后，她准备去兑奖，可工作人员让她第二天再来。谁知当她第二天开开心心地要兑换大奖的时候，工作人员却告诉她，她的中奖信息无效。原因竟是老虎机出故障了，不能作数，但他们能给她免费提供一顿牛排大餐作为补偿。什么？机器出故障了？这不是耍人吗！这让人如何接受？为什么输的时候没出故障，赢的时候却说它出故障了？真希望她能打败无良商家，赢回自己应得的！

5 Squirrel Went on Angry Rampage

愤怒的松鼠！

A squirrel[松鼠]went wild[发狂]in a Florida senior center[老年中心]on Nov. 3rdinjuring three people, which led to an unusual 911 call.

“We had a squirrel that entered our building, and it’s in our activity room,” the caller said in an audio posted online. “It’s jumping on people and biting them and scratching[抓]them. We need help.”

It’s not clear how the squirrel got into the place.

The creature began its attack[攻击]on people outside. It latched[缠着]onto one person, then was thrown into the facility[设备], where it continued its rampage[横冲直撞], the news reported.

Several voices could be heard in the background as the caller tried to ask for help.

“It’s still in there and people are bleeding,” she said. Another person in the background then said the squirrel had been tossed out[扔出去].

But no one knows what happened to the squirrel.

浅由有话说：我一直觉得松鼠长得小小的，软软糯糯的，看着十分可爱，根本不会有丝毫攻击力。可最近出了一条新闻，里头那小松鼠简直像是“开了挂”似的！新闻报道说有一只松鼠溜进了老年中心，追着人们又抓又咬的，到处肆意破坏，最后他们不得不报警求助。这顿时让我对松鼠这个物种有了新的认识，原来它也会有这般愤怒的一面！虽然不知道它受了什么刺激，“杀伤力”如此之大，但这也提醒了我们，平时可别随便去招惹小动物。如果遇到小动物发狂了，要保护好自己，尽量离它们远远的。
