>Possum looks like Pikachu
澳洲金負(fù)鼠形似'皮卡丘'
A rare brushtail possum has gone viral on social media, thanks to her uncanny resemblance to a popular Pokemon character. The baby orphan possum was recently brought into a Melbourne vet clinic and has since been nicknamed Pikachu for her similarity to the famous animated rodent-like creature. "We recently had a very special possum brought in to the clinic," Boronia Veterinary Clinic and Animal Hospital posted on its Facebook page. "The golden color occurs due to a mutation which causes a low level of the pigment melanin. They are so rare in the wild as although their bright color makes them look special to us, they also stand out to predators! Luckily for this baby brushtail, she's gone to carers to be raised and then will end up in a wildlife sanctuary." The photo of the adorable marsupial has since attracted more than 1,300 shares and sparked hundreds of comments on Facebook.

>Women destroying makeup
韓女性'逃脫束縛'不化妝
Many South Korean women are destroying cosmetics and cutting their hair short to fight back against unrealistic beauty ideals in what is being dubbed the "escape corset" movement. In posts across Instagram, Twitter and other social media platforms, women have been denouncing the use of cosmetics and a culture that pressures as many as one in three women to undergo some form of plastic surgery. Beauty regimens commonly require women to spend hours applying makeup each day – often involving waking up two hours before work to do so or carrying out lengthy skincare routines that involve 10 steps or more at the end of each day. The "escape corset" movement is the latest development in the Asian country's exploding feminist movement in the age of #MeToo, in a country that was ranked a poor 116 out of 144 countries on gender equality by the World Economic Forum. The women abandoning demanding cosmetic regimens call themselves "beauty resisters" and are part of a broader pushback against South Korea's highly patriarchal society which places a huge emphasis on a woman's appearance as being key to success in life.
韓國(guó)正掀起一場(chǎng)名為"逃脫束縛"的運(yùn)動(dòng)，許多韓國(guó)女性毀掉化妝品、剪短頭發(fā)，以此抗議不切實(shí)際的美容標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。韓國(guó)女性在Ins和推特等社交媒體平臺(tái)上發(fā)帖，反對(duì)使用化妝品，對(duì)迫使多達(dá)1/3的女性接受不同形式的整容手術(shù)的文化氛圍進(jìn)行抨擊。在韓國(guó)，女性通常每天要花好幾個(gè)小時(shí)化妝，在上班之前兩小時(shí)起床化妝，睡覺(jué)前還要進(jìn)行冗長(zhǎng)的護(hù)膚程序，一般有10個(gè)以上的步驟。"逃脫束縛"是#MeToo時(shí)期韓國(guó)爆發(fā)的最新一次女權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)。根據(jù)世界經(jīng)濟(jì)論壇的排名，韓國(guó)的性別平等狀況在144個(gè)國(guó)家中排名僅第116。放棄了耗時(shí)耗力的美容習(xí)慣的女性稱自己為"美麗抵抗者"，這也是她們對(duì)高度男權(quán)的韓國(guó)社會(huì)的抵制行為的一部分。韓國(guó)社會(huì)一直強(qiáng)調(diào)女性的美麗外表是人生成功的關(guān)鍵。

In laughter and tears, the US held a state funeral Wednesday for the 41st president George H.W. Bush, who has been widely mourned and praised as a good leader and a devoted person with a "gentle soul" and great sense of humor during his 94-year lifetime. President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump, four living former US presidents, together with dignitaries from across the country and foreign leaders attended the state funeral at the Washington National Cathedral. Delivering the final eulogy at the funeral emotionally, the 41st president's son, former president George W. Bush, said his late father was "a great and noble man. The best father a son or daughter could have." George H.W. Bush passed away on Friday at his home. Following the funeral service, Bush's remains will be flown back to Houston later on Wednesday to lie in repose at St. Martin's Episcopal Church before burial Thursday at his family plot behind the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum. He will be buried alongside his wife Barbara Bush who died seven months ago, and Robin Bush, the daughter the couple lost to leukemia in 1953 at the age of 3.
