While he was on the panel at a Toronto International Film Festival press conference on Saturday, Hardy was faced with a somewhat clumsily-worded question by LGBT website Daily Extra about his sexual orientation and, despite the ham-fisted ( ham-fisted = ham-handed 笨手笨脚的, 笨拙的, 大手大脚的, 拙手笨脚的, 缺乏技巧的 clumsy; bungling. not careful or gentle enough.

You can watch the cringeworthy exchange for yourself in the video below. If you suffer from the affliction of embarrassment empathy, I would advise a pillow to hide behind for safety. So, let this be a lesson to you guys. If you ever want to ask someone personal questions about their sex life, maybe don't do it in front of a huge group of people where you could get seriously, publicly burned. Skip to 9:45 to watch Tom Hardy shut down the sexist question, which seems too stupid to be true. The Toronto Star's Peter Howell explains that he can feel "outgunned by estrogen 女性荷尔蒙 ( outgun I. [usually passive] to have more guns and other weapons than someone who you are fighting. II. to defeat someone in a game or competition. )" with his wife, daughter, sisters and mother and asks, "As you were reading the script, did you ever think, 'Why are all these women in here?

Eerily silent manatee herd sneaks up behind paddleboarders: Two stand-up paddleboarders were recently enjoying a day out on Florida's Weeki Wachee River when they were joined by some rarely seen guests: a pod of manatees that quietly drifted under their boards and through the pristine water. Stand-up paddleboarding company SUP Weeki shared footage of the stunning encounter to its Facebook page, where it's been viewed more than 4.7 million times. 打不死的小强面对媒体: The deputy leader had a long day yesterday facing questions on her role in the "coup", which saw the removal of Mr Abbott; much of the scrutiny Ms Bishop was placed under centred around 围绕着 how far ahead of time 多久之前, 多提前 she knew Mr Turnbull planned to challenge.

"I provide the information when I think it's at a point that the prime minister must know." "No, but it's about the challenge," Waleed Aly retorts. "If Malcolm Turnbull said he was gonna challenge and he told you that, don't you get straight on the phone to Tony Abbott if you support him loyally and tell him that?". 4. presumptive 想当然的, 武断的, 妄下结论的, 无端下结论的 [pri'zʌmptiv] based on presumption or probability.

"It is the calm before the storm 暴风雨前的平静 before Friday morning's FOMC [Federal Open Markets Committee] meeting," Mr Haddad said. Bristish-based Capital Economics, one of the foremost bears on ( bear on sth 有关系, 有关联, 有影响 to be connected or related to something. to be connected with something or to influence it. Do you have any information bearing on his disappearance? I don't see how that information bears on this case. ) the Australian economy, still expects the Aussie to decline as far as US60¢, as weak commodity prices continue to dent mining investment. Other sectors of the economy would be insufficiently robust 经济稳健, 没有强大到, 不够强健到 to compensate for 弥补 this ongoing downturn, chief Australia and New Zealand economist Paul Dales said. "The weaker exchange rates are cushioning the blow from the plunge in export prices, but they won't outweigh 并没有压过, 并没有盖过 the drag on overall 整体的 gross domestic product growth," he wrote on Wednesday. Across the ditch 沟渠, 渠沟 (This idiom means on the other side of the Tasman Sea, used to refer to Australia or New Zealand depending on the speaker's location.) on Wednesday, the New Zealand dollar enjoyed a strong rally 回升 on dairy prices. Mr Haddad said he expected the Australian dollar to trade sideways ( Trading sideways 市场观望, 态势不明, 前途不明, 市场走向不明朗 is when prices of stocks or other investments stays within the same trading range over any period of time. That means it doesn't make higher highs, or a breakout above the previous highest price. This would indicate a bull market. It also doesn't doesn't make lower lows, or a price below the previous level of support. That indicates a correction or even a bear market, when prices pursue a downward trend. Trading sideways is when the stock market is flat, not setting any direction. When a sideways market usually means prices are getting ready to continue forward in the same direction they had been trading in. That's why it's also known as consolidation, and it's a normal part of trading action. Traders are uncertain as to which direction the market could make next, and so are consolidating gains by being cautious. They wait for the market to reverse course风向转变. The longer they wait, and there is no definite change, the more confident they become. ) until the outcome of the Federal Reserve decided at its meeting whether to lift interest rates for the first time since 2006. "The caveat to that though is if we have some significant pullbacks in Chinese stocks again, but the major focus 主要焦点集中在 is on the US," he said. Cash rate put on hold: Wild ride for the Australian dollar after Fed decision: The Aussie jumped sharply on the announcement at 4am AEST, reaching a high of 72.76 US cents before falling steadily to dip back below US 72 cents. Wall Street stocks also rallied on the announcement - jumping over 1 per cent - but investors soon got jittery as the market struggled to interpret the Fed's decision. The rate decision did not sit well with some market participants. Tom Porcelli, chief US economist at RBC Capital, said the Fed will always face some hurdles to raising rates, but that failure to do so means it is letting other economies lead the way. 9. Can you make a left 左转 up 前边 at Hill road (onto Hill road)? I have heard "bear left" if a road split at a Y-shaped intersection, or "make a half left turn" if there were several roads at one intersection, but not "make a left curve". "Keep left at the curve/split", "bear left 撇一下 at the curve/split", "take the curve/split to the left, or even "veer left at the curve/split". If the intersecting road is at an approximate 90 degree it's referred to as "turn left", "take a left ",or "make a left". if there is a Y shaped fork - you can say, 'Take the left fork' or 'Take the right fork', as well as 'Bear left' and 'Bear right'. If there is a fork, but one of them is marked on the road as the main road, you can say 'Keep on the main road on the left/right', or 'Filter right/left' (to the secondary road). If the road curves and there isn't another way to take and you want to give a warning, you could just say 'Follow the curve沿着弯道走'. Another example is when you are told to do a "hard right turn" meaning to turn (the wheel) on the 1st right intersection or junction having there a 2nd or third roads/streets on the right. And please note if someone says to you to go "straight by that road跟着路走, 沿着路走, 顺势走" it would be nicer if you follow the curves and not go "straight ahead".

One of my friends told me "Man, you got swag!" what does is really mean? So I dressed up for this special occasion that my boys are going to, then when one of my friends saw me he said "Man, you got swag!" I was just wondering what it really means. looking fly: cool, being awesome. You are looking fly today son... "She's so fly" means that she's cool, sexy, etc. It's a term from the 90's. It's a slang term that means she is really "cool" and "attractive". Basically, the guy likes the girl and thinks she is a very fun person to be around. Ever heard phrases such as "She's too fly by half..." "There's no flies on him..." ? In this kind of idiomatic discourse the use of "fly/flies" denotes cunning/ cleverness, having inside knowledge of something, being privy to information nobody else has. I think, even though we have no context, that "You're so fly..." means the woman is cunning, perhaps knows or does something clandestine, something not at all innocent something very knowing. A Becky Sharp type, "nobodies fool". 10. entail involve (something) as a necessary or inevitable part or consequence. if a situation or action entails a particular thing, it involves having or doing that thing.

Composed of flour, water, salt, boric acid, and mineral oil, the product was first manufactured in Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S., as a wallpaper cleaner in the 1930s. When a classroom of children began using the wallpaper cleaner as a modeling compound, the product was reworked and marketed 宣传 to Cincinnati schools in the mid-1950s. Play-Doh was demonstrated at an educational convention in 1956 and prominent department stores opened retail accounts. Advertisements promoting Play-Doh on influential children's television shows in 1957 furthered the product's sales. Since its launch on the toy market in the mid-1950s, Play-Doh has generated a considerable amount of ancillary merchandise such as The Fun Factory. In 2003, the Toy Industry Associationnamed Play-Doh in its "Century of Toys List". You got to do what you got to do 有所为有所不为 One has to do whatever it is that one feels obliged to do.

How a heartbroken father who lost his son to synthetic drugs infiltrated (渗透, 渗入, 打入, 卧底 go undercover. ) the Chinese dealers who import the devastating product into Australia - and found out ALL the tricks they use to get the pills through customs 澳洲父亲卧底中国发掘出制毒贩毒过程: A father's trip to China has taken him into the dangerous world of synthetic drug dealers, as he attempts uncover 揭开, 揭露, 揭发 the truth about the potentially fatal substances being imported into Australia. Perth man Rod Bridge travelled to the Chinese city of Hefei to investigate exactly what drug lords were selling into Australia and how they shipped them. Mr Bridge's campaign around the awareness of the effects of synthetic drugs - which are hard to identify and mimic drugs such as cocaine and ecstasy - began when his son Preston, aged 16, died in 2013 he after took two pills of an imitation LSD. He threw himself off a balcony, believing he could fly. What he found shocked him. In an undercover mission with 60 Minutes Australia, he and the show's producer secretly recorded their interactions with dealers, as they had prices, quantities, compounds and shipping techniques explained to them. The only thing the sellers did not have an answer for was how the drugs affected users, and how much should be used. At one point, a dealer told him he could buy 200 kilograms of a particular substance, another, 100kg. Other suppliers revealed they had no idea of what might happen if someone took the drugs they were selling. During the covert operation, suppliers showed Mr Bridges how they got their products into Australia. One packaged kilogram bags of drugs into fish tank water filters. Another used sealed bags that looked to be vacuum packed 真空包装. Both dealers and Mr Edwards were certain 确定的说 sniffer dogs 闻味狗, 辨气味的狗, 警犬 could not identify the smell of the synthetic substances - because they didn't smell like normal drugs. One dealer was so confident of their success, they guaranteed a seven-day delivery, or they would either replace the product for free, or for a split 50/50 payment. Toward the end of one meeting, a dealer appeared to be getting suspicious, and two men undercover made a hasty retreat 紧急撤退. The program revealed the synthetic drugs are made using 'research chemicals' and turned into white powder, crystals or capsules. No research on the effects the drugs have on humans is carried out before they are offered for sale. Scientists who tested the synthetic drugs for the program were stunned at how lethal the doses were. Safe Work Laboratories chief scientist Tyren Edwards told the show one of the drugs, 245i-NBOMe, was 60 times more potent ( I. 有冲击力的. 强力的. powerful, or effective. a potent mixture of charm and authority. Images from the war are still potent today. II. 药效强的. 高效的. 强力的. 酒有劲的. if a drug, medicine, or chemical is potent, it has a strong effect. The local wine is pretty potent. a potent painkiller. III. if a man is potent, he has the physical ability to have sex. ) than normal LSD. 'He said that one hit is equivalent to just six grains of salt, six grains is one hit,' Mr Bridges said. 'And we find out that even the suppliers have no idea at all of the dosage you should take, they can't and don't have any idea what would be considered safe and reliable. 'I really think this is a worse drug problem than "ice".' 60 Minutes reporter Liz Hayes said they were told of the extreme hallucinogenic 幻觉, 致幻 effect which was different for each chemical compound. 'In some cases demonic(demonic = demoniac [dɪˈməunɪæk] connected with demons, or like a demon.), a totally different being, people stripping clothes off because they over-heat(over-heat I. 过热. to become too hot, or to make something too hot, sometimes causing damage. The engine started to overheat. II. economics a country's economy overheats when it grows too fast, causing prices to rise in an uncontrolled way.) and in one case somebody chewed the face of another person and another ate road-kill 被压死的鸟(an animal or bird that has been killed by a vehicle and is lying in the road.). 'They have such an impact that one guy just kept running into tree.' In an interview with Justice Minister Michael Keenan, Hayes challenged him over how the drugs were detected at the Australian border. He said detection using sniffer dogs depended on what sort of chemical it was. He did not want to go further into detail for fear of 担心会, 害怕会 revealing border control operations. Their danger is in their availability 危险在于 - usually they are much cheaper and very easily obtained on the internet, Hayes says. 'They call them research chemicals but they all know what they are dabbling in ( dabble in something 尝试 to be involved in something in a casual manner. She dabbled in local politics for a while. I want to dabble in something new for a while. dabble in v. To do some activity occasionally, superficially, or without ambition: I've dabbled in painting, but I'm not very good. dabble I.

II.

Australia has a blanket ban on 一揽子的, 一体的, 整体的 all synthetic drugs. Border Force officers now have the power to seize synthetic drugs, no matter their chemical structure. The new laws, introduced by the Government earlier this month, close a loophole which allowed criminals to deliberately avoid prosecution by tweaking the chemical structure of an illicit drug to ensure it could be imported. However, unlike illicit substances, these synthetic products are not easily detected and are found with ease on-line. 'They [teenagers] get a hit for just a few dollars, go to a party and they could be all out of luck - you can't even experiment safely 安全的实验一下, the suppliers can't tell you how powerful they are until you take it,' adds Hayes. 'Rod Bridge is a grief-stricken but very determined feather, to lose a child in this manner he doesn't want to feel it was all for nothing.'
