Normally it should be flashing. 板球互骂风波: DAVID Warner has defended his "speak English" demand in a slanging match with Indian batsman Rohit Sharma but admits he was mistaken over the incident that sparked it. New Zealand cricket great Martin Crowe slammed Warner as "juvenile 幼稚的" after his latest unsavoury incident and said the punishment should be more severe. Watching from the luxury of my couch ( [in singular] A pleasure obtained only rarely: they actually had the luxury of 少见的, 难得的 a whole day together. ) and after hearing numerous accounts from respected cricket people, there is a growing concern that David Warner's thuggish 暴徒似的 ( behaving in a violent way) behaviour has gone too far. Soon one day it will lead to an incident that will sully the game for good. As Ian Chappell has said often recently, that soon enough someone will get king-hit on a cricket field. Warner may just be the one who gets pinned by someone in retaliation. And if it is him who gets hammered被暴揍, 被狂揍, 被狂殴, it will be overdue — if wrong. No one, let alone an umpire, who has enough on his plate in the international game, wants to have to reprimand or babysit a bunch of boorish ( rude and not caring about other people's feelings his boorish behaviour. ), childish adults during play for these ugly spats that are becoming commonplace 习以为常, 变成常有事. But they need to. Before things escalate the ICC needs to arm the officials with everything possible to stop the idiots who are ruining our enjoyment of the game. My concern in the immediate future will be that Warner will be in the centre of an ugly on-field fight during the upcoming World Cup. Crowe called for the introduction of yellow and red cards, so repeat offenders would receive lengthy bans. Warner can play, but he is the most juvenile cricketer I have seen on a cricket field. I don't care how good he is: if he continues to show all those watching that he doesn't care, he must be removed. The more he gets away with it, the more others will follow his pitiful actions. Already we see one or two of his team-mates enjoying being close to his hideous energy. "I was in the wrong ... I shouldn't have engaged him," Warner told Sky Sports Radio. "If people get on the wrong side of me(get on the right/wrong side of sb = get in wrong with sb to make someone pleased/annoyed with you: As a teenager, Clare was always getting on the wrong side of her mother. get up on the wrong side of the bed = get out of bed on the wrong side = wake up on the wrong side of bed = wake up on the wrong side of the bed (idiomatic) To feel irritable; to be in a bad mood; to have a bad day from the start, for no particular reason.

"Make no bones about it (make no bones about sth To speak frankly and directly. A form of this expression was used as early as the 15th century and meant "without difficulty." The reference is to the bones in stews or soup. Soup without bones would offer no difficulty, and accordingly, one would have no hesitation in swallowing soup with no bones.) - this is as bad as anything we've ever seen in government in Australia anywhere," he said. He described Mr Newman as a bully and that he "couldn't back the Premier to win a chook raffle( Chook raffle is the name given to the Australian tradition of "raffling off" chicken meat, often in clubs or pubs. The name derives from "chook", an Australian term for a chicken. Most often the chicken is prepared by a butcher, but live chickens are sometimes raffled. The chook raffle is a special case of a meat raffle, but is more often used as a fund-raising activity by an amateur club or organisation. Perhaps because of this association, the expression tends to be used disparagingly about someone who claims to have, or should have, superior organisational skills, that they "couldn't run a chook raffle". The term is also used to describe any random process. An example is selecting the winner of an election by drawing a name from a hat, said to be turning the process into a "chook raffle". )". "What's happened on the Darling Downs under this government is a disgrace耻辱," Jones said. "He's first best friends with the mining giants who are plundering this state(plunder I. loot. 打劫. 劫掠. 抢劫. to take valuable things from a place using force, sometimes causing a lot of damage. The city was plundered and burned during the war. II. to take or use something that belongs to someone else in order to give yourself an advantage.

"Our debt is worse than it was when Newman came into government - and our agricultural land 农业用地 is being squandered 挥霍, 浪费(if you squander something such as money, time, or an opportunity, you do not use it in a sensible way.) and he's done nothing about the debt he said he would address.

"I wouldn't call him an ally," she said. "He's actually had a go at both sides of politics. What he was saying today is essentially that you can't trust Campbell Newman and that's what people are telling me across the state." He said the LNP remained committed to adding 1,100 extra police across Queensland by March next year and that motorcycle gangs remained a primary target. "We want to eject criminal motorcycle gangs from this state, that's always been the objective, to shut down their business model," he said. "It's a very tough call to try and do that, but we're going to give it our very best shot and certainly we're succeeded like in other state." 4.

Body snatching is the secret disinterment of corpses from graveyards. A common purpose of body snatching, especially in the 19th century, was to sell the corpses for dissection or anatomy lectures in medical schools. Those who practised body snatching were often called "resurrectionists" or "resurrection-men". A related act is grave robbery 盗墓者, uncovering a tomb or crypt to steal artifacts or personal effects rather than corpses. graverobbing : The practice of illegally removing corpses from graves, originally to supply cadavers for medical study. ). It is not "morally right" that Sydney siege victims will profit from the tragedy by selling their stories to the media, former Victorian Premier Jeff Kennett says, describing the payments as "plain grubby" ( grubby I. dirty and needing to be washed. He wore torn jeans and a grubby shirt. II. 不道德的. 道德低下的. dishonest and morally bad. ). However a victims advocate says the decision of hostages to publicise their ordeal, and receive payment, is a personal one and should be respected. Mr Kennett said huge sums of money were spent ending the siege, and the hostages owed their lives to "the brave acts of others". "Many first responders put their lives at risk(put their lives on the line). Two innocent hostages lost their lives. I do not think it is morally right that the media pay, and [that] any of those who were saved should profit from the attack," he said. News Corp has reported that siege survivor Marcia Mikhael has been signed by Channel Seven for $400,000, while John O'Brien will be paid $100,000. However, Fairfax Media understands the real amounts are substantially lower少得多, 低得多. A lawyer for Ms Mikhael declined to comment on Mr Kennett's remarks, or the reported figure. Meanwhile, Nine is rumoured to have signed four Lindt cafe workers – Fiona Ma, Harriette Denny, Joel Herat and Jarrod Morton Hoffman – for a combined $1 million, though Fairfax Media understands this figure may not be accurate.

Although the word is sometimes used loosely to characterise anyone who is mean with their money, if such behaviour is not accompanied by taking delight in what is saved, it is not properly miserly.

User "dennis michael" said it was surprising that Mr Kennett had "no compassion [for the] victims of trauma. Real eye opener". One user who goes by the name "george" told Mr Kennett that he agreed with him in principle, but "not everyone is as financially comfortable as you are". However others on Twitter backed Mr Kennett's views. Patrick Lyttleton said the payments to hostages were "disrespectful to the deceased", adding "their reward is surviving". Ramsay Yamak noted that emergency services workers involved in the siege "will only take home their yearly wage". But he said the hostages were likely to receive compensation and the payments were "ghoulish". "Ghoulish by the media, ghoulish by those who are either demanding or accepting payment. They have their lives. Yes, they have been through a traumatic circumstance, but some of them actually may be alive because of the actions of [fellow hostage and victim] Tori Johnson. Some of them may be alive because of the act of our police men and women," Mr Kennett said. "I think it is inappropriate, I think it is insensitive, I think it is wrong that the money was offered, I think it is wrong that the money is accepted." "For some of these hostages, giving the interview will be a cathartic ( [kəˈθɑ:(r)tɪk] 发泄的. 泄愤的. 消气的. allowing you to express strong feelings that have been affecting you so that they do not upset you any longer. catharsis [kəˈθɑ:(r)sɪs] the process of expressing strong feelings that have been affecting you so that they do not upset you any longer. ) process for them." Mr Brown said while he appreciated Mr Kennett's point, "he has never been a hostage; he cannot get inside their mind".
与警察打交道: 1. "The driver of the Holden approached the man's car and spoke to him, claiming he was a police officer, and showing him what is believed to be a fake police badge. "He asked the driver to undertake a roadside breath test. "The man impersonating 打扮成, 装作, 扮作 a police officer( pose as a police officer, dress up as a police officer, imposter 假扮的人. ) left the scene, taking the man's driver's licence, after telling the driver it had been suspended." About two hours later, a woman driving with two passengers was pulled over at Cecil Hills. "The woman noticed a white Ford sedan with a blue light flashing on the top of the car behind her," the statement said. "Believing it was a police vehicle, the woman pulled over to the side of the road, as did the unmarked 没有标记的 vehicle. 2. Impersonating a police officer is sometimes committed in order to assert police-like authority in order to commit a crime. Posing as a police officer enables the offender to legitimize the appearance of an illegal act, such as: burglary, making a traffic stop, or detaining. Dressing up as a police officer in costume (i.e. for Halloween), or pretending to be a police officer for the purpose of play or a harmless prank toward an acquaintance is generally not considered a crime, provided that those involved recognize the imposter is not a real police officer, and the imposter is not trying to deceive 欺骗 those involved into thinking he/she is. The following impersonations class as the offence: Verbal identification: The imposter announces to the unsuspecting victim that they are a police officer or other law enforcement agent. Fake Badge or Warrant card: The imposter, though not in any special clothes, displays a police-like badge or identification card(警察证, 警官证. police id badge, identification card, identity card) to the victim. Sometimes a real police officer will not even be able to differentiate between the real and fake badge, as some duplicates are very similar to a real badge, if not identical to one. Fake uniform: The imposter wears a uniform that looks very much like that of a police officer. Fake vehicle: The imposter places police lights 警灯 (these can be either permanently mounted onto the car or temporary lights magnetically attached to the cartop车顶), decals(a transfer for putting a picture onto a surface. A decal ([ˈdiːkæl]) or transfer is a plastic, cloth, paper or ceramic substrate that has printed on it a pattern or image that can be moved to another surface upon contact, usually with the aid of heat or water. The technique was invented by Simon François Ravenet, an engraver from France who later moved to England and perfected the process he called "décalquer" (which means to copy by tracing); it became widespread during the decal craze of the late 19th century.), siren, or other equipment on a personal vehicle to disguise it as a police car and enable the offender to pass through red traffic lights, bypass traffic other non-emergency traffic would have to wait for, make traffic stops, or even arrests. Much of the equipment described above is available for purchase by the general public, thereby enabling imposters to obtain the necessary materials to commit such a crime. While the equipment will not bear the name of a specific law enforcement agency, the unsuspecting victim may not notice the difference. Fake authority, in which the officer attempts to extort money from the victim, claiming it is a fine, or can be paid on the spot to avoid further legal consequences负法律后果. Remember, that if you really doubt the identity of someone trying to pull you over, you should proceed to a well-lit光线好的, busy place such as a gas station, fast food place or convenience store before stopping your car. Even better, go to police headquarters or a local sub-station, if you know where one is. While doing so, turn on your four way flashers to notify the officer that you are aware he or she is attempting to stop you. 3. Check if they have badges. They may be faked, but better safe than sorry. Ask for identification; police carry identification cards clearly identifying them and their agency which are harder to fake than badges. See if they are in a police uniform. If the officer is not, then request that an identified officer (with a marked police car and full uniform) proceed to the traffic stop. An identity document (also called a piece of identification or ID, or colloquially as one's 'papers') is any document which may be used to verify aspects of a person's personal identity. If issued in the form of a small, mostly standard-sized card, it is usually called an identity card (IC or ID card). Countries which do not have formal identity documents may require identity verification 身份核实, 身份验证 using informal documents. In the absence of a formal identity document, driving licences may be accepted in many countries for identity verification. Some countries do not accept driving licences for identification, often because in those countries they do not expire as documents and can be old or easily forged. Most countries accept passports as a form of identification. Italy: All Italian citizens are entitled to request an identity card which would be issued by the municipality in which they live. The card lasts ten years and is a valid document to leave the country when travelling to another EU country. However, if public-security officers are not convinced of the claimed identity, such as may be the case for a verbally provided identity claim, they may keep the claimant in custody until his/her identity is ascertained确认, 核实; such an arrest is limited to the time necessary for identification and has no legal consequence. All foreigners in Italy are required by law to have an ID with them at all times. Citizens of EU member countries must be always ready to display an identity document that is legally government-issued in their country. Non-EU residents must have their passport with customs entrance stamp入境签章 or a residence permit issued by Italian authorities; while all the resident/immigrant aliens must have a residence permit (otherwise they are illegal and face deportation), foreigners from certain non-EU countries staying in Italy for a limited amount of time (typically for tourism) may be only required to have their passport with proper customs stamp. Additionally permanently resident foreigners can ask to be issued an Italian ID card by the local authorities of their city/town of residence. 4. 网友或对或错的回答: If your able to identify the people as Police officers (Ie, a uniform, marked car), they don't have to show you their ID. If they are plain clothed detectives, or under cover police, then yes, you need formal verification of who they are. I would guess their badge number警号 would have been sufficient identification. I believe this issue may subtly vary from state to state. But almost certainly in every state a police office MUST when asked by you give you their Name, Rank, Identification Number and the Police Station they are attached to. There is no requirement that they show you a formal ID badge as far as I'm aware. Additionally, you can ask for these details in writing from the Police Officer. Everyone should make a point of knowing their rights when dealing with a Police Officer. 5. A private citizen can arrest you (citizen's arrest) if: You are committing an offence; You have committed an offence. A police officer should also tell you his/her name and place of duty任职地点, 供职地点. After arrest, a police officer may handcuff you if for example you attempt to escape or the police officer thinks that you may escape. What happens if I resist arrest 拒捕, 抗拒逮捕? Even if you don't think that you are guilty of an offence or should be arrested it is wise to submit to the arrest. If you are charged with an offence you will have a chance at court to explain your case. Even if you are innocent, the police may arrest you if they have reasonable grounds to suspect that you have committed an offence. It is an offence to resist arrest. If you use violence you may be charged with assaulting police. When you are taken to a police station you will be given a document which sets out your rights. In general you have a right to silence. However in some circumstances you do have to give police some information and in some circumstances exercising your right to silence may be used against you in court. Do I have to take part in an identification parade (An identification parade 认人, 辨识, 分辨 is where the police put you in a line-up of people. They ask a witness to look at the line-up to see if they can pick you out as the person who committed the offence. You do not have to be in an identification parade. The witness could make a mistake and pick you when you did not commit the offence. Get legal advice.)? No, but the police may ask witnesses whether they can identify you from photographs. What is bail? If the police charge you with an offence they will need to decide whether to release you on bail or to keep you in custody关押. After the police decide whether or not to release you on bail they are required to allow you to contact a lawyer. If the police refuse to grant you bail they are required to take you to court as soon as practicable so that you may make an application for bail to the court. They can also ask you to shake your hair and open your mouth. Police can only perform a strip search裸搜, 躶体搜查, 搜身(frisk 搜身( stop-and-search = stop-and-frisk 警察的搜身行为. sus law: A

They must provide you with as much privacy as possible. As far as is practicable, the search must be carried out by a police officer of the same gender as the person being searched. In the case of a strip search it should be, as far as practicable, in a private area, out of sight of people of the opposite gender to you, out of sight of other people not involved in the search. A strip search must not involve a search of a person's body cavities or an examination of the body by touch. A police officer may detain you if you are an intoxicated person (who is seriously affected by alcohol or drugs) in a public place and found to be: behaving in a disorderly manner; or, behaving in a manner likely to cause injury to yourself, another person or damage to property; or, are in need of physical protection because you are intoxicated. 6. If the police lawfully require you to provide photographic identification they also have the power to ask you to remove any face covering to allow the police officer to see your face. They must ask for your permission first and conduct the viewing in a way that provides reasonable privacy as quickly as possible. If you do not remove your face covering without special justification没有特殊原因 you may be committing an offence. It is not compulsory to carry the card itself, as the authorities only have the right to ask for the identity of a person, not for a specific document.
