Thanks from a Bin
垃圾桶会说“谢谢你”
A bin that says “thank you” or “mmm, tasty” when you throw in rubbish. In Germany, a land that loves hi-tech gadgets, it was only a matter of time before the solar-powered, talking trash can come along.
在德国柏林街头，人们将发现扔垃圾会是一种乐趣，因为当你把垃圾扔到垃圾桶里时，垃圾桶会跟你说“谢谢”“嗯，味道好极了”之类的话。这是一种使用太阳能的高科技产品。
Paris Invents New Love Messages
情书公告牌
Declarations of undying devotion will flash across Paris’s mu－nicipal bulletin boards every 20 seconds next month as the French capi－tal invents a new way to say “I love you” on Valen－tine’s Day.Bertrand De－lanoe, the left-wing mayor known for his innovative city festivals, said the elec－tronic boards would carry the best short love letterson February 14—Valen－tine’s Day—and through－out that weekend, adding that they would “help Parisians tell each other ‘I love you’”.
法国首都巴黎发明了一种在情人节这天说“我爱你”的新方法。下个月中巴黎市各处的市政公告牌上每20秒就会有表达不渝爱情的宣言闪过。以喜欢组织新奇的城市节庆活动著称的左翼巴黎市长伯特兰·迪拉诺说，这些电子公告牌将会在2月14日情人节这天以及此后的周末刊载最动人的简短情书，并宣称它们会“鼓励巴黎人对彼此说‘我爱你’”。
Customs About
Drunken Cows
醉牛风俗
In Norway, after the wedding ceremony, when the bride, bridegroom and the guests got home, a cow with horns beautifully decorated with birch branches is waiting for them. According to the ancient tradition in Nor－way, the bride will carry a keg of beer for the wed－ding to the cow.
If the cow likes the beer and gets drunk, it promises a bright future. Everything will go smoothly and they will have many children as well. Later, when all the guests get drunk, they will dance together with the cow.
挪威新人举行婚礼后，新郎、新娘和客人回到家里，一头角上挂满桦树枝的母牛已在院子里恭候他们了。按照挪威古老的传统，新娘得给母牛端去一小桶专门为结婚酿的啤酒。
要是母牛爱喝啤酒，很快就会喝醉，四条腿开始不听使唤，这就表示新娘会事事顺遂，家庭人丁兴旺。一旦看见母牛走路东倒西歪，客人们马上落座，等他们一个个也有了醉意之后，就围着母牛跳起舞来，母牛于是更加来劲儿，也同大伙一起“舞”起来。
A Bear Drunkard
熊酒鬼
In the Washugan Plain in Russia lives a family of bear drunkards: Mother, son and daughter.
The guard in the for－est had seen the drunken and funny bears three times. They staggered, growled at each other, rushed forward and stum－bled. Later he rea- lized the bears had eaten too many fermentedberries.
One winter night, the bears intruded into a brewery called Arshei’s. They broke everything and made a mess. When they left, the female bear held two bottles of beer with her forelegs and the two young bears each rolled a bottle. The folks were worried about their arrival the next spring, so they strenghthened their fences and walls.
俄罗斯瓦休甘平原，栖息着一家熊瞎子酒徒———熊妈妈、熊儿子和熊女儿。
守林人叶戈尔·马尔采夫曾三次见过这娘儿仨醉醺醺的可笑样子。它们一个个都打着趔趄，像唱歌一样扯着嗓子吼个不停，在树林里不顾一切地朝前冲，还时不时被绊倒。后来守林人弄明白了，原来熊瞎子是吃了大量发酵的云莓，所以都有了醉意。
在冬季的一天夜里，熊瞎子还闯进村里远近闻名的酿酒匠阿尔谢尼家的板棚，打碎了所有的家什，地板也被糟蹋得一塌糊涂。母熊离开院子的时候是用前腿抱着两瓶酒直立走的，小熊崽则每人前面滚着一只酒瓶。乡亲们担心来年春天熊瞎子冬眠醒来后又到村里找酒喝，于是家家着手加固了板棚和院墙。

内罗毕:当肯尼亚政府去年推出义务小学教育后,一位84岁的肯尼亚老爷爷开始上小学识字,本周二肯尼亚几家日报报道了此事。他的同学平均年龄是7岁,他的30个孙子中有两个也在同一所学校,但所在年级比他高。
