Bennett had many friends in city government and was known for getting jobs for his friends through the back door. He accused the government of privatizing the health service through the back door. A body politic is a metaphor in which a nation is considered to be a corporate entity, being likened to a human body. The word "politic" in this phrase is a postpositive adjective; so it is "a body of a politic nature" rather than "a politic of a bodily nature". A body politic comprises all the people in a particular country considered as a single group. The analogy is typically continued by reference to the top of government as the head of state, but may be extended to other anatomical parts, as in political readings of the Aesop's fable, "The Belly and the Members". The metaphor developed in Renaissance times, as the medical knowledge based upon the classical work of Galen was being challenged by new thinkers such as William Harvey. Analogies were made between the supposed causes of disease and disorder and their equivalents in the political field which were considered to be plagues or infections which might be remedied by purges and nostrums. analogy [əˈnælədʒi] a comparison between two situations, processes etc that is intended to show that the two are similar.

There's nothing quite like a cute, happy eight-month-old to melt the heart of the most ardent Republican and add another dimension to 增加浓墨重彩的一笔 this nation's renewed love of royalty. And the feeling is mutual. "I was well-prepared: The affection my grandmother the Queen has for this nation is infectious," Prince William said, to much cheer inside the Sydney Opera House.

Seeing the energy and diversity of this beautiful city, and understanding just how much Australia is the home of innovation, opportunity and possibility. Dad even joked he suspected Prince George's first word might be "bilby, only because 'koala' is harder to say"." The huge crowd erupted into applause when the Ioyal couple arrived at the Opera House. He praised Australia's compassion for its neighbours who routinely suffer from nature's brute force, and commended our ability to withstand and rebuild from our own weather disasters. After a reception in the Concert Hall the couple spent time chatting with the very people who he lauded in his speech: Innovators and those young Aussies who clutched opportunity in their hands and never let go. The reception was attended by about 400 community leaders, including artists, volunteers and sportsmen. Hero paceman Glenn McGrath was on hand to( on hand immediately available Ms. Sharp will be on hand to answer questions later about the film. The two cosmonauts have seven hours of oxygen on hand, but the job should take only four hours. ), as he used to do with the new ball, fire the first rocket at the guests. How about those Ashes, Will? "I couldn't let that one slip, it was actually Prince William that brought it up first," McGrath said. McGrath presented the couple with a tiny baggy green cap for a certain bub, "His Royal Highness Prince George" inscribed on the back. Outside, they were surrounded. More than 5000 admirers crammed the forecourt, waved flags, blew kisses and held their phones aloft高举着手机(high up in the air). The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were generous with their time, meeting the lucky few pressed hard up against the barriers, posing for the obligatory selfie before being whisked away on a police launch, destination Admiralty House. Earlier, Kate looked at ease greeting dignitaries at Sydney Airport as she and William stepped off a Royal Australian Airforce plane to shake the waiting hands of Prime Minister Tony Abbott, Governor-General Peter Cosgrove and NSW Governor Marie Bashir. The biggest thrill of the short tarmac ceremony was experienced by south coast woman Joscelyn Sweeney, 22, who presented the Duchess with flowers and a famous Australian children's book for Prince George — Snugglepot and Cuddlepie. Test fast bowling great McGrath was among the guests and he spent about 15 minutes chatting to Catherine and William. "They were very warm, very friendly and they made it very easy," he told AAP.

The whole affair has been whitewashed.) in Australia earlier this year was among the topics of conversation. "I couldn't let that one slip - it was actually Prince William that brought it up first," McGrath added. "He said he enjoys the Ashes over everything else but he's a little disappointed about how it went just recently." Catherine, wearing a short-sleeved, form-fitting合体的, buttercup yellow dress, rubbed a little boy's knee as he sat in his wheelchair and spoke briefly to the duchess. Prince William also chatted animatedly with a number of wellwishers at the Opera House. The event was marred slightly by the absence of former NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell, who was meant to co-host the reception but resigned on Wednesday morning over his involvement in a corruption inquiry. There was also a small protest over indigenous land rights outside the Opera House with its protagonists threatening to burn the Australian flag. Chloe Skaffe, 19, was still shaking after meeting the Duchess. "I can't even talk properly, she came over and I gave her my flowers and she said 'oh thank you, thank you, I like your top - we're matching', I just couldn't believe it," Ms Skaffe told AAP. "I quickly asked for a selfie but she said she had to run but I managed to sneak one in anyway. "I've been here since 8am but it was so worth it."
电影: Love Actually is a 2003 British Christmas-themed romantic comedy film written and directed by Richard Curtis. The screenplay delves into different aspects of love as shown through ten separate stories involving a wide variety of individuals, many of whom are shown to be interlinked as their tales progress. Set primarily in London, the story begins five weeks before Christmas and is played out in a weekly countdown until the holiday, followed by an epilogue尾声, 后记 (an extra part added at the end of a novel, long poem, or other piece of writing.) that takes place one month later. The film begins with a voiceover from David (Hugh Grant) commenting that whenever he gets gloomy with the state of the world he thinks about the arrivals terminal at Heathrow Airport, and the pure uncomplicated love felt as friends and families welcome their arriving loved ones. David's voiceover also relates that all the messages left by the people who died on the 9/11 planes were messages of love and not hate. The film then tells the 'love stories' of many people: With the help of his longtime manager Joe (Gregor Fisher), aging rock and roll legend Billy Mack (Bill Nighy) records a Christmas variation of The Troggs' classic hit "Love Is All Around". Although he thinks the record is terrible, Mack promotes the release in the hope it will become the Christmas number one single. The song does go to number one; after briefly celebrating his victory at a party hosted by Sir Elton John, Billy recognises that Joe needs affection and suggests that he and Joe celebrate Christmas by getting drunk and watching porn. Juliet (Keira Knightley) and Peter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) are wed in a lovely ceremony orchestrated and videotaped by Mark (Andrew Lincoln), Peter's best friend and best man. One day Juliet arrives unexpectedly at Mark's apartment and watches his video, discovering that the footage is entirely of her. This confuses Juliet, who thought Mark didn't like her: He never talked to her, avoided her, and was generally distant and uncomfortable around her. He blurts out that he acts that way那样做 for 'self-preservation自我保护, 自我救赎'(the wish to stay alive and to protect yourself from things that might hurt you.), and she finally realises that he's always been head over heels for her, but has kept it to himself out of respect for her and Peter's relationship. At Christmas Mark takes a moment to truly confess his unrequited love for Juliet (silently, using Dylan-esque word cards), which Juliet acknowledges by giving him a kiss. After this, Mark decides to set aside 放下, 放在一旁 his infatuation and move on. Writer Jamie (Colin Firth) prepares to attend the wedding of Juliet and Peter while his girlfriend (Sienna Guillory) misses the ceremony to sleep with his brother. Crushed崩溃, 伤心不已 by this, Jamie withdraws to his French cottage where he meets Portuguese housekeeper Aurélia (Lúcia Moniz) who speaks only her native tongue. When Jamie returns to England he realises he is in love with Aurélia and begins learning Portuguese. When he returns to France to find her, he proposes and she says, "Yes", as she has been learning English. Harry (Alan Rickman) is the managing director of a design agency; Mia (Heike Makatsch) is his new secretary. For Christmas he buys her an expensive necklace from jewellery salesman Rufus (Rowan Atkinson), who elaborately wraps精心包裹 while Harry becomes increasingly nervous with the fear of detection. Meanwhile, Harry's wife Karen (Emma Thompson) is busy dealing with their children, Daisy (Lulu Popplewell) and Bernard (William Wadham), who are appearing in the school Nativity play. Karen discovers the necklace in Harry's coat pocket and initially assumes it is a gift for her; she later confronts Harry over the necklace and he admits his foolishness愚蠢. Karen's brother, David (Hugh Grant), is the recently elected Prime Minister. Natalie (Martine McCutcheon) is a new junior member of the household staff at 10 Downing Street and serves his tea and biscuits. Something seems to click between them. David walks in to find the U.S. President (Billy Bob Thornton) sexually harassing Natalie, which inspires him to take a stand against the bullying President's policies. Finding that his relationship with Natalie has become strained关系变得紧张起来, David has her moved to another job, but later comes across a Christmas card from Natalie ending with a declaration of her love for him. After a door to door search of her street, Mia tells him Natalie lives next door, he discovers she is going with family to the local school for the nativity play (the same one in which his niece and nephew are appearing). He drives her family to the play, and the two watch the show from backstage, their budding relationship exposed when a curtain is raised on them kissing at the end of the pageant's big finale. Daniel (Liam Neeson), Karen's friend, and his stepson Sam (Thomas Sangster) fend for themselves as they mourn the loss of their wife and mother, Joanna. Sam has fallen for American classmate, also named Joanna (Olivia Olson), and, after discussion with his stepfather, decides to learn the drums so that he can accompany her in the big finale for their school's Christmas pageant (the same one that Natalie's nephew and Karen and Harry's children are in). After Sam feels that he missed his chance to make an impression on her, Daniel convinces Sam that he must go catch Joanna, who is returning to the US, at the airport that night and show her how he feels, lest he regret it for his whole life. Sam runs away from the airport security and says hi to Joanna, who then kisses him on the cheek. Meanwhile, Daniel, who previously mentioned admiring supermodel Claudia Schiffer, meets Carol, played by Schiffer, the parent of another of Sam's school mates. Sarah (Laura Linney) first appears at Juliet and Peter's wedding, sitting next to her friend Jamie. She works at Harry's graphic design company and has been in love for years with the company's creative director, Karl (Rodrigo Santoro). A tryst /trist/ between Karl and Sarah is interrupted by phone calls from her brother, Michael, (who has undisclosed 未说明的, 未披露的 mental problems) from the care home he lives in. This effectively ends their relationship. On Christmas Eve, she visits her brother at the institution where he lives, wrapping a scarf around him as he hugs her. After several blunders attempting to woo various English women, including Nancy (Julia Davis), the caterer at Juliet and Peter's wedding, as well as Mia, Colin Frissell (Kris Marshall) informs his friend Tony (Abdul Salis) he plans to go to America and find love there, convinced that his Britishness will be an asset to him in a foreign country. Landing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Colin meets Stacey (Ivana Miličević), Jeannie (January Jones), and Carol-Anne (Elisha Cuthbert), three stunningly attractive women who fall for his Basildon accent and invite him to stay at their home, where they are joined by roommate Harriet (Shannon Elizabeth). John (Martin Freeman) and Judy (Joanna Page) meet as body doubles for the sex scenes in a film where Tony is a production assistant. John tells Judy that "it is nice to have someone [he] can just chat to." While the two are perfectly comfortable being naked and simulating sex on-set, they are shy and tentative off-set(I. not definite, or not certain. a tentative agreement/deal. II. not confident. a tentative look/smile.); they carefully pursue a relationship, and see the play (same one as David & Natalie, Harry & Karen, Daniel & Sam, et al.) at the local school together with John's brother. Rufus, played by Rowan Atkinson, is the jewellery salesman whose obsessive attention to gift-wrapping nearly gets Harry caught by Karen buying Mia's necklace. Also, it is his distraction of staff at the airport which allows Sam to sneak through to see Joanna. In the director and cast commentary, it is revealed that Rufus was originally supposed to be a Christmas angel; however, this was dropped from the final script. Epilogue: In the epilogue set one month later, the relationships of the characters have continued to evolve. Billy arrives with a gorgeous groupie in tow to be greeted by Joe and indicating that his comeback has remained successful. Juliet, Peter, and Mark come to meet Jamie and his new bride Aurelia, showing both that they have married. Karen and the kids greet a returning Harry confirming that they have remained together. Sam greets Joanna who has returned with her mother from the US as Daniel looks on, joined by his new girlfriend Carol and her son. John and Judy run into Tony, who is there to meet Colin on his return from the US; they are shown to be just married and off to their honeymoon. Colin returns with the gorgeous Harriet, and Harriet's sister Carla (Denise Richards) who hugs and kisses Tony in greeting. Natalie is seen welcoming David back in front of press cameras, indicating that their relationship is now public. These scenes dissolve into live-footage of actual arrivals at Heathrow Airport, which divide the screen and eventually form a heart as The Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" plays on.
