>Heat at the top of the world
北極圈遭32度熱浪襲擊
The Arctic Circle - the realm of polar bears and dwindling sea ice at the top of the world - hit 32 degrees Celsius, last week. A photo of what appears to be Scandinavian folks taking a dip in a river while reindeer - the cold-adapted, antlered, herbivores - cooled off in the water beside them is perhaps the best example of just how hot it is in parts of the Arctic Circle right now. Andrew Derocher, a professor at the University of Alberta who studies polar bears, said climate change is shrinking the ice polar bears usually hunt on, making them spend more time on land closer to humans.
上周，北極圈達(dá)到了32攝氏度的高溫。這里位于地球最北端，是北極熊的棲息地，海上浮冰在不斷融化。在一張貌似有斯堪的那維亞人在河中游泳的照片里，馴鹿這種適應(yīng)寒冷的食草動物也下水降溫，這或許是目前北極圈罕見高溫的最佳例證。阿爾伯塔大學(xué)研究北極熊的教授安德魯?德羅謝爾說，氣候變化正使北極熊捕獵區(qū)的冰面面積縮小，使得它們花更多的時間在離人類更近的陸地上游蕩。

>Swedish crown jewels stolen
竊賊盜走瑞典皇室王冠
Thieves snatched some of Sweden's crown jewels before escaping in a speedboat as part of a Hollywood-style heist in broad daylight. Police used helicopters to chase the culprits, but no arrests have been made. Two crowns and an orb - one belonging to King Karl IX, the other to Queen Kristina - were snatched from locked glass boxes in the Strangnas Cathedral, which is located west of Stockholm. Swedish Police said in a statement they've deployed helicopters and boats to search for the pair, who sped off in a motorboat into the vast system of lakes west of Stockholm.
近日，竊賊搶走瑞典部分皇冠珠寶，然后像好萊塢搶劫大片一樣乘坐快艇在光天化日之下逃之夭夭。警方利用直升機(jī)追捕罪犯，但卻一無所獲。瑞典國王卡爾九世和王后克里斯汀娜的兩頂王冠和一個寶球被從位于斯德哥爾摩西部的斯特蘭奈斯教堂中上鎖的玻璃箱中盜走。瑞典警方在聲明中稱，竊賊乘坐摩托艇逃向斯德哥爾摩西部的河流交織的廣闊水域，警方已部署直升機(jī)和船只追捕這兩名竊賊。

>France bans street abuse
法立法打擊街頭性騷擾
French lawmakers passed a law, imposing fines for instances of sexual harassment on the street. The law instituted a fine of up to $815 for gender-based harassment on streets and public transportation after a viral video showed 22-year-old girl being attacked by a man after she told him to "shut up" when he harassed her as she passed by. The law outlaws sexual or sexist comments and degrading, intimidating or hostile behavior. The law also extended the deadline for underage victims of rape to file complaints to 30 years after they turn 18 and stated sex between an adult and a person of 15 or under can only be considered rape if the younger party was judged not competent to give consent. It is expected to take effect in September.
法國國會議員近日通過一項法案，對街頭性騷擾行為處以罰款。此前流傳甚廣的一段視頻顯示，一名22歲女孩經(jīng)過一男子身邊時被其性騷擾，女孩要求他"閉嘴"后遭到該男子的襲擊。法案規(guī)定，在街道或者公共交通上的性騷擾行為最高可罰款815美元。法案將性騷擾及性別歧視言論以及羞辱、恐嚇或者敵視行為歸為違法行為。法案還將未成年強(qiáng)奸受害者在成年后提交訴訟的期限延長至30年，并規(guī)定若年輕一方被認(rèn)為無同意能力，成年人和15歲及以下兒童間的性行為只能被認(rèn)定為強(qiáng)奸。該法案將于9月起實(shí)施。
