He played with skill, nerve and verve. Some of his passing shots were
so good they can be described properly only by recalling the noise made
by the Murray fan next to the press box every time they smacked the back
boards: "Oof". His problem was that he faced a man playing at the peak 巅峰期 the game has ever attained, the player who has legitimate claim to be the finest exponent of the craft
ever to pick up a racquet. As Federer took his seventh title here,
equalling Pete Sampras's record, it became clear this was the day the

节目造假: Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that one of the most-loved segments on Top Gear was an elaborate set-up. In one of the most popular episodes of the hit program, Clarkson test drives the three-wheeled Reliant Robin, rolling the seemingly unstable vehicle at every turn. But the former BBC presenter, who was axed from the show during a controversy last year, has now revealed that the Robin was not the goofy-looking 看上去怪怪的, 怪里怪气的 death trap (death trap place, building, or vehicle that is in such bad condition that it could be dangerous to people. ) the program made it out to be. "I'd asked the back-room boys to play around with the differential so that the poor little thing rolled over every time I turned the steering wheel," Clarkson told the Sunday Times. "Naturally, the health and safety department was very worried about this and insisted that the car be fitted with a small hammer that I could use, in case I was trapped after the roll, to break what was left of the glass". The back-room boys nailed the task and throughout the seven-minute test drive Clarkson rolls the Robin at least five times. And in spite of all the crashes the three-wheeled vehicle has won a place in the Top Gear's host's heart. "I like the Robin Reliant so much that when Richard Hammond, James May and Andy Wilman and I formed our new production company, I rushed out immediately and bought one as a company car," Clarkson said. "Interestingly, the other three did exactly the same. So now we have a fleet 车队 sitting in the executive car parking spaces at our offices." The Reliant Robin was a small three-wheeled car formerly manufactured by the Reliant Motor Company in Tamworth, England. Reliant three-wheelers enjoy a special place 有特殊地位, 有特殊位置 in British culture, often as the butt of jokes, such as when Patsy Stone dismissively refers to Edina Monsoon's isolation chamber ( An isolation tank 漂浮室, 隔离舱 is a lightless, soundproof tank inside which subjects float in salt water at skin temperature. They were first used by John C. Lilly in 1954 to test the effects of sensory deprivation. Such tanks are now also used for meditation and relaxation and in alternative medicine. The isolation tank was originally called the sensory deprivation tank. Other names for the isolation tank include flotation tank, float tank, John C. Lilly tank, REST tank, and sensory attenuation tank. ) as resembling one in the TV series Absolutely Fabulous. In the United Kingdom, the Robin is sometimes affectionately nicknamed the "Plastic Pig" because of its distinctive shape and fibreglass body shell. It is also often, and erroneously, referred to as the Robin Reliant. The Reliant Robin is staple material ( staple I. an important product, especially a food, that people eat or use regularly. The shops are running out of staples such as rice and cooking oil. a. a regular and important part or feature of something. staple of: The black dress was an enduring staple 常客 of Diana's wardrobe. II. a small piece of wire that you press through pieces of paper with a small object called a stapler so that the ends of the wire bend over and fasten the pieces of paper together. adj. used for describing the products, especially foods, that are the most basic and important for a particular place or group of people. Potatoes are a staple element 常见的基本的元素 of our diet.) for comedian Jasper Carrott. However, perhaps two of the best known Reliants in British comedy are actually Reliant Regal Supervans — the dirty yellow van owned by the Trotter brothers in Only Fools and Horses, and the light blue van that always ends up getting tipped over, crashed into, bumped out of its parking space etc. by a British Leyland Mini in Mr Bean.
金球奖上的事件: 1. "The reporter was asking a question but either filming or taking pictures off of his phone while talking to Jennifer Lawrence," he continued, adding, "everyone in the press room was laughing. It was light hearted 气氛轻松的." Jennifer Lawrence has been labelled "mean-spirited", "rude" and "pretentious" after berating a reporter for reading from his phone during a press conference. A video of the actress chastising ( chastise [tʃæˈstaɪz] I. mainly journalism to criticize someone. II. old-fashioned to punish someone by hitting them. ) the reporter backstage at Monday's Golden Globes gained traction online, with many suggesting she overstepped the line in her criticisms. During a press conference following Lawrence's win for Best Actress in a Comedy for her role in Joy, a reporter with a strong foreign accent began to question her about her Oscar hopes. Lawrence quickly interrupted him to scold him for reading the question off his phone, much to the amusement of the rest of the room. "You can't live your whole life behind your phone bro. You just can't do that, you gotta live in the now 活在当下," Lawrence said to the anonymous man, who is off camera in the clip. Seemingly confused, the reporter uttered, "what?" before laughing and apologising. When he continued on, Lawrence interrupted him again. "How do you see yourself for the Oscar night and how was working…" he began. "We're at the Golden Globes," Lawrence cut in 打断. "If you'd put your phone down you'd know that." While the journalist seemed unfazed 不当回事, 无所谓 by the incident, laughing it off and apologising, viewers online have described Lawrence's outburst as "cruel" and "rude". Others have brushed off the incident as part of Lawrence's trademark sarcasm. 2. What's trending: It was the most viral moment of this year's Golden Globes, and now Leonardo DiCaprio is attempting to explain his dramatic side-eye 翻白眼, 斜眼, 看不起, 鄙视 ( a sidelong glance expressing disapproval or contempt. "After we complained of being ignored she kept giving me the side-eye". ) in Lady Gaga's direction after her win. Watch the clip above from Entertainment Tonight to see Leo explaining how he reacted that way because he didn't know "what" was walking past him. Erm, don't you mean "who", Leo? This still doesn't explain the 41-year-old's visible display of laughter when the American Horror Story star was approaching the stage to collect her award for Best Actress in a Limited Series or TV Movie. Worst part is, you can actually pinpoint the moment the 29-year-old actress notices he is chuckling.
