用法学习: 1. turn the corner 扭转局势 If a situation turns the corner, it starts to improve after a difficult period: After nine months of poor sales we've finally turned the corner. Here's a stat that illustrates how Qantas International has turned the corner – for the month of October 2015, the number of passengers Qantas carried on its international operations to and from Australia grew by over five per cent, according to latest government data. The composition of the October traffic figures too show the changing face of the Qantas International operation, which for many years had struggled with unprofitability before posting an underlying profit of $297 million for the 2014/15 financial year. But those falls were more than offset by growth directly or indirectly related to the airline's alliance with Dubai-based Emirates. 2. chargeback 退款, 追回退款 [ˈtʃɑ:dʒbak] I. a demand by a credit-card provider for a retailer to make good the loss on a fraudulent or disputed transaction.

电影: The Tourist: An English woman, Elise Clifton-Ward (Angelina Jolie), is being followed by French Police who are working with Scotland Yard under the direction of Inspector John Acheson (Paul Bettany). Acheson has spent years hunting Alexander Pearce, a lover of Elise, who owes £744 million in back taxes, and is believed to have received plastic surgery to alter his appearance 改头换面, 改变容貌. At a Parisian cafe, Elise receives written instructions from Pearce: Board the train to Venice; pick out a man; let the police believe that he is Pearce. Elise burns the note, evades the police and boards the train. On the train, Elise selects Frank Tupelo (Johnny Depp), who is apparently an American mathematics teacher from a community college in Wisconsin. She spends much time with him, seeming to start a romance. Meanwhile, the police have managed to salvage the ashes of her burned note and assembled them to extract information regarding her rendezvous ( I. a meeting arranged for a particular time and place, especially secretly. a. the place where people have agreed to meet. II. a restaurant, bar, or other place where a particular group of people frequently meets, ), as well as her ruse 计谋, 手段(a plan or trick used for hiding your true intentions.). Aware of her location, but not of the ruse, an informer from the police station communicates to Reginald Shaw (Steven Berkoff), the mobster from whom Pearce stole $2.3 billion, that Pearce is traveling with Elise on the train to Venice. Shaw immediately proceeds to Venice. Elise invites Frank to stay with her at her suite in the Hotel Danieli in Venice. Pearce leaves further instructions for Elise to attend a ball. Elise abandons 丢下 Frank, who is then chased by Shaw's men. While trying to escape from them, Frank is detained by the Italian police, ostensibly 名义上, 表面上, 看起来是 for his own safety( ostensible used for saying that although someone pretends to have one reason for something, there is in fact another reason. He was ostensibly on vacation, actually he was on a diplomatic mission. Melissa went to her room, ostensibly to do her homework. ostentatious I. intended to impress people or attract their admiration, in a way that you think is extreme and unnecessary. an ostentatious display of wealth. II. always trying to impress people with how rich, important, skillful, etc. you are. Although extremely wealthy, he was never ostentatious. ), only to have a corrupt inspector turn him over to Shaw's men in exchange for the bounty that has been placed on Pearce's head. Elise rescues Frank just before he is handed over 交出去, leading Shaw's men on an extended boat chase and finally escaping. She leaves Frank at the airport with his passport and money, urging him to go home for his own safety. Elise is revealed to be an undercover Scotland Yard agent who was under suspension for her suspected sympathies with Pearce. She agrees to participate in a sting operation. At the ball, as Elise tries to spot Pearce in the crowd, an envelope is placed on the table in front of her, but the man (Rufus Sewell) disappears into the crowd 消失于人群中. She tries to follow him through the crowd, but is stopped by Frank. Frank claims to be in love with Elise and invites her to dance with him. After the police surprise Frank, Elise reads the note. She leaves suddenly in her boat to be tailed by Shaw. Both parties are followed by the police. Frank is held handcuffed. When Elise arrives at the destination, Shaw takes her prisoner 囚禁, 抓住, threatening to harm her unless she reveals the location of the stolen money. The police monitor the situation inside the rendezvous room through audio and video links. Despite Elise's peril, Acheson repeatedly turns down police requests to intervene with their snipers. While the police are occupied 忙于 in monitoring the situation, Frank escapes from the police boat and confronts Shaw, claiming to be Pearce and offering to open the safe if Elise is allowed to leave safely. Shaw is skeptical and makes a counter offer that Frank should open the safe if he does not want to see Elise tortured by his men. Chief Inspector Jones (Timothy Dalton) arrives at the police stake-out, overrides Acheson, and orders the snipers to fire, killing Shaw and his men. To Elise's obvious pleasure, Jones lifts her suspension and terminates her employment. Acheson, receiving a message that Pearce has been found near their position, rushes to find the police have detained an Englishman. The man, Lawrence Mason, says he is a tourist following written instructions received via his mobile phone, for which he has been receiving payments. Elise tells Frank that she loves him, but she also loves Pearce. Frank then suggests a "solution" to this dilemma; to Elise's surprise, he opens the safe by entering the correct code, thus revealing that he is really Alexander Pearce. When the police open the safe they find only one cheque: It is for £744 million. Acheson prepares to chase after Pearce, but Jones overrides him, reasoning that with the taxes now paid in full, Pearce's only crime is that he stole money from a now-dead gangster. Jones orders the case to be closed, much to Acheson's frustration. Frank (Alexander) and Elise sail away together.

"Full praise to the department and the officers who have identified these people, who are completely without legitimate cause to be here," Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said of Allen's ejection. Speaking with Sky News, Mr Dutton described Allen's seminars as "pretty repugnant 让人作呕的(extremely unpleasant or offensive)", and said the pick-up artist and his ilk ( [ɪlk] of its/that/their ilk 那一类人 of its/that/their particular type or kind. A proposal of that ilk seems reasonable to me. The show is by no means the worst of its ilk.) "don't meet our character tests". Accounts of Allen's exploits with women he met on the internet would seem to bear out ( to show that something is true or that someone is telling the truth. Scientific evidence bears out the claim that stress and disease are linked. I always said – and Rick will bear me out – that this wouldn't work. ) Mr Dutton's assessment, with several women telling Jezebel Allen touched them inappropriately, then bombarded them with racist and misogynistic insults after they refused to sleep with him. Several women have said Allen's sexual aggression is matched only by his emotional immaturity. Allen, who left on Sunday, had an appearance at one venue cancelled after Vibe Hotels discovered that RSD had booked the event under a pseudonym, according to the ABC. A US man who had come to Australia to hold seminars on how to "pick up" women has had his visa cancelled on character grounds. This follows an online petition, amassing [əˈmæs] ( amass 征集, 聚敛, 收集 to collect a lot of something such as money or information over a period of time.

Video footage posted online shows Mr Allen joking about his "rape van" and using foul and abusive language towards women. His biography states his "particular area of expertise is scoring threesomes". Real Social Dynamics has previously been associated with advocating violence against women in order to seduce them. He currently hosts seminars on "how to suck girls into your sex-worthy reality" and "how to destroy her 'bitch shield 防卫'". The ABC understands that Mr Allen, an employee of the US-based Real Social Dynamics (RSD), left of his own accord 自动离开, 主动离开 on Sunday and his visa was subsequently revoked. "The department has already moved very quickly to tidy this situation up," he said. His tactics, which include choking women and pulling them into his crotch, were criticised online as misogynistic and abusive. AFL裸照风波: Marquee ( marquee [mɑ:(r)ˈki] adj. 王牌的. most important. n.

The magazine claims Swan sent sexually charged 充满色情意味的 messages and full-frontal nude images to at least one woman via his Instagram account, danes84. The selfies and videos appear to contravene ( [ˌkɑntrəˈvin] to do something that is not allowed by a rule, law, or agreement. ) the AFL's social media policy, which bans players from "accessing, downloading or transmitting… any sexually explicit material". "We are still in the process of finding out what happened and there will be some update from us today [Monday]," he said. The Magpies said on Monday they would not take any action against the players as the sexting had been consensual and they had not breached any respect and responsibility policies. The players were said to be embarrassed when the club told them the pictures were in the public domain. Collingwood president Eddie McGuire told radio station Triple M that the players had been "completely stooged ( stooge I. someone who is used by someone else to do a difficult or unpleasant job. One who knowingly allows herself or himself to be used for another's profit; a dupe.
