福特澳洲停产, 工厂将关闭- Ford Australia to shut (to close) from 2016, 1200 workers lose jobs. Ford asked to pitch in (pitch in (and help) (with something) 参与进来 Fig. to join in and help someone with something. Would you please pitch in and help with the party? Come on! Pitch in!) to ease closure pain: The decision has just been announced, but the writing was on the wall for 再清楚不过了 Ford's Australian manufacturing arm as far back as 2009. Ford Australia's president has told journalists car making is simply not viable ( 可生存的, 可生长的. 可发展的 (of seeds, eggs, etc.) capable of normal growth and development. ) in this country, forcing the vehicle giant to close manufacturing from 2016. Another $10 million will be provided to help car-part suppliers to diversify and win business opportunities in new markets. The plant makes the venerable six-cylinder engine that has been around since the first Falcon rolled off the Ford production line in 1960 but, like grandfather's axe, bears little resemblance to the original. Nevertheless, Ford said it would close the plant and begin importing the company's "Duratec" engine, a more fuel efficient V6, for use in Falcons and Territory wagons from 2010 because the existing straight-six engine would not be able to meet impending即将颁布的, 即将实施的 Euro 5 emissions standards排放标准. In the same month, Ford Australia announced plans to begin building its strong-selling 卖势强劲的 Ford Focus small car alongside the Falcon and Territory at Broadmeadows by 2010, boosting the plant's workload against sliding sales of the bigger Fords. The move was seen as a way to even up economies of scale to make Ford's Australian operation more competitive on a world scale. Oddly, the first clue that Ford was planning to walk away from local manufacturing came in November 2008 when Ford announced it was keeping its Geelong engine plant open. The all-new FG Falcon had been introduced six months earlier but had failed to arrest ( arrest I. To stop; check: a brake that automatically arrests motion; arrested the growth of the tumor. II. To seize and hold under the authority of law. III. To capture and hold briefly (the attention, for example); engage. IV. To undergo cardiac arrest: The patient arrested en route 心脏停止跳动 to the hospital. ) the sales decline. Abandoning the Duratec V6 was a sign that Ford had lost faith in the Falcon. Falcon sales have been in free-fall直线下降 for years. Sales of the Falcon ute have seen a similar drop. Ford executives denied for a long time that any firm decision 下定决心 had been made ( resolve verb. to make a firm decision to do something. ) on the future of the Falcon and the Territory, but the Focus decision almost five years ago sealed Ford Australia's fate. Nothing has stemmed the tide止住颓势. Not the introduction of cheap-to-run LPG-only Falcons, not the EcoBoost four-cylinder engine that almost matches the power of the big six and thrashes it in fuel efficiency, not the 2.7-litre Land Rover-sourced diesel engine available in the Territory. You can blame the removal of tariffs, or the strong Australian dollar, or Ford's failure to explore export opportunities as Holden and Toyota have done, for Ford's decision. But it comes down to economies of scale. Australia's car market is too small and now is too fragmented to support indigenous本土生产的 cars that fewer and fewer Australians want to buy.
Gel bracelets, or jelly bracelets塑料手环(wristband)(Livestrong wristbands popularized gel bracelets for charity purposes. This humorous example is used to raise awareness about the 2010 Tonight Show conflict.), are an inexpensive type of wristband. They come in a variety of colors, and several can be worn on each arm. They have been popular in waves throughout the Western world and elsewhere since the 1980s. One style of these wristbands, known as "awareness bracelets", carry debossed messages ( deboss To press a design into a metal surface. ) demonstrating the wearer's support of a cause or charitable organization. During a resurgence再度流行 in popularity in 2003, gel bracelets became the subject of a widespread urban legend linking them to a supposed sex game explaining their popularity among young teenagers: they were subsequently dubbed "sex bracelets". According to rumors, people who wore the jewelry implied they were willing to engage in various acts with whoever pulled them from their wrists; the acts ranged from hugging and kissing to sexual intercourse, and were determined by the bracelet's color. In October 2003, the rumors were prominent enough in Alachua Elementary School in Gainesville, Florida that the principal banned the bracelets to avert disruption and inappropriate comments about them. They were subsequently banned in other schools around Florida and elsewhere. The effectors of these early bans did not insinuate that the rumors were true; however, some later media reports suggested that they may have been, generating something of a moral panic造成道德恐慌. The supposed meanings of the colours of the bands were reported in the British press in 2005. A very similar set of stories surfaced (or re-surfaced) in the British media in 2009, in which the bracelets were allegedly nicknamed shag bands. In March 2010, a 13-year-old girl in Brazil was raped by three teenage boys after one of them snatched the bracelet she was wearing. The police stated that the crime was motivated by the use of sex bracelets. Different versions associate different colors with sex acts (similar to the handkerchief code). For example, purple might be associated with kissing, red with lapdancing, and black with intercourse. Some versions said the involved action occurs at parties held for the purpose, making them similar to contemporary rumors of "rainbow parties", a gathering at which groups of girls wearing varying shades of lipstick supposedly take turns fellating their classmates, leaving an array of colors on their penises.

Both come from Latin: 'devote' comes from the word meaning 'a vow', and 'dedicate', which has changed very little, comes from the word meaning 'to proclaim', 'consecrate' or 'devote'. Both words have a religious background, and both mean to have great love, affection or enthusiasm for something. We might identify some differences in the use of each word today, however... 'Devoted' has remained far closer to its original meaning - we still use it to talk about someone's commitment to a particular activity or object. It's particularly used to talk about someone's love for their family - "He's a devoted father" OR "She was devoted to her grandchildren." We can use it, perhaps less frequently, to talk about other areas of life: "Years of devoted research finally produced results," for example, or... "The teachers were devoted to their students.". The central meaning is that effort and concentration are involved in the object of the devotion. And it's worth noting that the noun 'devotions' might also mean religious activities like praying, for example. 'Dedicated' has become more flexible over time... We're less likely to use it to talk about love for one's family or in a religious context - it's a more general word. If you are dedicated to something, you believe that it's right and worthwhile and you give a lot of time and effort to it. It's especially useful to talk about someone's attitude to their job - "A dedicated worker" is very committed, for example. But 'dedicated' could also be used to describe someone who believes very strongly in the importance of an ideal... 'A dedicated vegetarian' believes very strongly that people should not eat animals. 'Dedicated' can be used in another way though: A song on the radio might be dedicated to a particular person - you can call some radio stations and they'll play songs which you request for your friends or family. 'A dedication' is a statement which says who a book has been written for or who a song has been sung for. To sum up then, both words have similar origins and meanings, but we're more likely to use 'devoted' to talk about family or loved ones, and 'dedicated' to talk about work or other interests. commit I. to consign for preservation: to commit ideas to writing.

However, when her son Bobby confides 吐露 to his older brother that he may be gay, life changes for the entire family after Mary learns about his secret. Bobby's father and siblings slowly come to terms with his homosexuality, but Mary believes that God can "cure" him. She takes him to a psychiatrist and persuades Bobby to pray harder and seek solace 寻求安慰 in Church activities in hopes of changing him. Desperate for his mother's approval 急需妈妈的肯定, 妈妈的同意, Bobby does what is asked of him, but through it all, the Church's disapproval of homosexuality and his mother's attempts to suppress his growing behaviors in public causes him to grow increasingly withdrawn and depressed. Stricken with guilt, Bobby moves away with his cousin, hoping that some day, his mother will accept him. He moves to Portland, giving up on his hopes of defeating homosexuality. He finds a boyfriend, David (Scott Bailey), at a gay bar. However, Mary makes it clear that she still does not want her son to continue as he is. Despite meeting David's parents, who assure them that things will change, Bobby continues thinking of his mother's words, and also sees David with another man. Finally, Bobby's subsequent depression and self-loathing 过度自责 intensifies as he blames himself for not being the "perfect" son, and one night, he free falls 坠落 off a freeway bridge into the path of an oncoming eighteen-wheeler truck, which kills him instantly. The family receives the horrible news the following day, and is devastated. Faced with their tragedy, Mary begins to question herself and her Church's interpretation of the Scripture. Through her long and emotional journey, Mary slowly reaches out to the gay community and discovers unexpected support from a very unlikely source. She becomes acquainted with a local gay reverend, who convinces her to attend a meeting of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). It is there that she realizes that she knew Bobby was different from conception and that his true value was in his heart. She becomes an advocate for gay rights and eventually gives a speech in a town council meeting in support of a local "gay day". She urges people to think before they say, voice, or support homophobia because "a child is listening". The measure is rejected, but she and her family travel to San Francisco with fellow PFLAG members and walk in a gay pride parade, during which she sees another young man just like Bobby observing the parade. She walks over and hugs him, finally coming to terms with her son's death and vowing to work hard for the rights of gays and lesbians. True story of Mary Griffith, gay rights crusader, whose teenage son committed suicide due to her religious intolerance.
暴漏, 走光, 露光: 1. A wardrobe malfunction(意外走光, 多指在公共事件或表演场合上的) is a euphemism ( 隐晦的说法, 隐晦的说辞. 隐晦的用词. euphemism ['ju:fi,mizəm] The act or an example of substituting a mild, indirect, or vague term for one considered harsh, blunt, or offensive. an inoffensive word or phrase substituted for one considered offensive or hurtful, esp one concerned with religion, sex, death, or excreta. Examples of euphemisms are sleep with for have sexual intercourse with; departed for dead; relieve oneself for urinate. euphemistic: substituting a mild term for a harsher or distasteful one; "'peepee' is a common euphemistic term". metaphoric: expressing one thing in terms normally denoting another; "a metaphorical expression"; "metaphoric language". A metaphor ['mɛtəfə -ˌfɔ:] 隐喻 is a figure of speech that describes a subject by asserting that it is, on some point of comparison, the same as another otherwise unrelated object. Metaphor is a type of analogy and is closely related to other rhetorical figures of speech that achieve their effects via association, comparison or resemblance including allegory, hyperbole, and simile. In simpler terms, a metaphor compares two objects or things without using the words "like" or "as", as in as in "a sea of troubles" or "All the world's a stage". ) for accidental exposure of intimate parts私密部位. It is different from indecent exposure or flashing, as the latter ones imply a deliberate exposure. There has been a long history of such incidents, though the term itself was coined in the mid-2000s and has become one of the most common fashion faux pas. In everyday context it often happens as a nipple slip露奶, 露乳 to women and is relatively common, but wardrobe malfunction suggests a public event or performance, particularly when there are allegations that it was deliberately staged for publicity reasons. In DJing for Dummies, John Steventon describes a range of wardrobe malfunctions from a revelation of butt cleavage股沟 to visible panty lines内裤边. In some US cities, low hanging pants低腰裤 and whale tail flashing丁字裤露出 (thong exposed over the top of pants or skirts) are considered wardrobe malfunctions and are a school dress code issue. Bikinis also present celebrity wardrobe malfunction opportunities to the paparazzi in the form of wedgies or bikini-top malfunctions(A wedgie occurs when a person's underwear or other garments are wedged between the buttocks. While a wedgie can be created naturally, the term is usually associated with a prank or as a form of bullying. When a person is on the receiving end of a wedgie, his or her underwear is forcibly pulled up by a second person. Wedgies are commonly featured in popular works, either as a form of low comedy 下流玩笑, 低级玩笑 or as a behaviour representative of bullying. In such works, briefs are usually the type of underpants that are worn by the victim.). 2. Indecent exposure 不当裸露 is the deliberate exposure in public or in view of the general public by a person of a portion or portions of his or her body, in circumstances where the exposure is contrary to local moral 当地道德 or other standards of appropriate behavior恰当行为标准. Social and community attitudes to the exposing of various body parts and laws covering what is referred to as indecent exposure vary significantly in different countries. It ranges from prohibition of exposure of genital areas, buttocks and female breasts. In some conservative countries the exposure of any part of the female body is considered indecent. Not all countries have indecent exposure laws. 3. Voyeurism窥阴癖( voyeur n. I. A person who derives sexual gratification from observing the naked bodies or sexual acts of others, especially from a secret vantage point. II. An obsessive observer of sordid or sensational subjects.) is the sexual interest in or practice of spying on people engaged in intimate behaviors, such as undressing, sexual activity, or other actions usually considered to be of a private nature. 4. Exhibitionism暴漏癖, 暴漏狂 is the act of exposing in a public or semi-public context those parts of one's body that are not normally exposed – for example, the genitals or buttocks. The practice may arise from a desire or compulsion to expose themselves in such a manner to groups of friends or acquaintances, or to strangers for their amusement or sexual satisfaction or to shock the bystander. Various types of behavior are classified as exhibitionism, including: Anasyrma: the lifting of the skirt when not wearing underwear, to expose genitals. Flashing: chiefly the momentary display of bare female breasts by a woman with an up-and-down lifting of the shirt and/or bra. It can also involve the exposure of a man's or woman's genitalia. Martymachlia: a paraphilia which involves sexual attraction to having others watch the execution of a sexual act. Mooning: the display of bare buttocks by pulling down of trousers and underwear. There tends to be a gendered double standard in this case: with males, the act is most often done for the sake of humour, disparagement[di'spæridʒ], or mockery, as opposed to sexual excitement, whereas with females, the reverse tends to be true, and sexual arousal (or at least sexual attention) of those mooned is the intent意图, 目的. Streaking裸奔, 裸跑: the act of running nude through a public place. The intent is not usually sexual but for shock value, including when done by a female. Candaulism: when a person exposes his or her partner in a sexually explicit manner. Reflectoporn 反射裸照, 反光裸照: the act of stripping and taking a photograph using an object with a reflective surface as a mirror, then posting the image on the Internet in a public forum. Examples include "images of naked men and women reflected in kettles, TVs, toasters and even knives and forks". The instance generally credited with starting the trend involved a man selling a kettle on an Australian auction site featuring a photograph where his naked body is clearly visible; other instances followed, and the specific term "reflectoporn" was coined by Chris Stevens of Internet Magazine. Telephone scatologia - Some researchers have claimed that this is a variant of exhibitionism, even though it has no in-person physical component. Non-threatening exhibitionism may be physically expressed in two basic ways. The first, colloquially referred to as flashing, involves the exposure of a person's "private parts" to another person or group of people in a situation where these would not normally be exposed, such as in a social gathering or in a public place. The act of flashing, particularly when done by females involving the breasts but also when involving her vulva阴户 and also her buttocks, may be at least partially sexual in intention, i.e. to prompt the sexual arousal of those being flashed, in turn giving the flasher an ego boost信心暴增, 自我满足. However, flashing may also simply be intended to attract the non-aroused "attention" of another or others, or for shock value. An example of the latter is a male who displays his buttocks to someone else, an act which unlike a female who displays her buttocks is not typically taken by the viewer(s) as a sexually-provocative 性挑衅的 act. In fact, it is usually interpreted by the viewer as mildly or even severely insulting侮辱人的. Non-threatening exhibitionism can also be expressed in the context of a like-minded group who share the desire to expose themselves to each other. That type of exhibitionism has a wide variety of subtypes, including everything from nudist clubs or naturist resorts to small groups of friends or acquaintances sharing a hot tub without wearing bathing suits, or skinny-dipping together. The second class of exhibitionism, done threateningly or at least with aggressive intent, is referred to as indecent exposure, even though the physical act itself may also, somewhat confusingly, be referred to as "flashing"; however, even if the term "flashing" is used, the surrounding descriptive context gives a point of reference as to which of the two classes of exhibitionism is being described. A classic exemplary circumstance, meant to showcase the aggressive intent to "violate" another person's peace of mind侵害另一个人的平静 as compared to the other exhibitionism type, involves a male in a trench coat, naked underneath, who enters a dark movie theatre or is sitting in one of the seating rows near to a woman, and standing, proceeds to open his trench coat and display his nakedness (and possibly an already-existing erection) to the unwilling, possibly disgusted, and possibly frightened woman. For the person performing the act, the point of such indecent exposure and similar indecent exposure is that rather than the unwilling viewer's repulsion and/or shock causing a loss of sexual excitement in the flasher, the shock and repulsion 厌恶, 反感 actually increases the flasher's sexual excitement. While this example may or may not have actually occurred in practice, the story, often related in Western culture in particular, is meant to show that a person who does these or similar acts usually has some sort of psychological warping 心理变态, 心理扭曲 of his or her sexuality( warp v.
