>Possum looks like Pikachu
澳洲金负鼠形似'皮卡丘'
A rare brushtail possum has gone viral on social media, thanks to her uncanny resemblance to a popular Pokemon character. The baby orphan possum was recently brought into a Melbourne vet clinic and has since been nicknamed Pikachu for her similarity to the famous animated rodent-like creature. "We recently had a very special possum brought in to the clinic," Boronia Veterinary Clinic and Animal Hospital posted on its Facebook page. "The golden color occurs due to a mutation which causes a low level of the pigment melanin. They are so rare in the wild as although their bright color makes them look special to us, they also stand out to predators! Luckily for this baby brushtail, she's gone to carers to be raised and then will end up in a wildlife sanctuary." The photo of the adorable marsupial has since attracted more than 1,300 shares and sparked hundreds of comments on Facebook.
一只罕见的帚尾负鼠因与《精灵宝可梦》中的人气角色出奇相像而走红社交媒体。这只负鼠孤儿宝宝近日被送到墨尔本的一家宠物诊所，由于与类似啮齿类动物的动画角色"皮卡丘"十分相似，因而得到了"皮卡丘"的绰号。博洛尼亚兽医诊所和动物医院在其脸书页面上发帖称："我们诊所最近来了一只非常特别的负鼠，由于基因突变使她体内的黑色素水平较低，导致皮毛呈金色。金毛负鼠在野外实数罕见，虽然其鲜亮的毛色让我们觉得它们看起来很是特别，但它们也极易被猎食动物发现！幸运的是这只负鼠宝宝已被护理员收养，之后将被送到野生动物保护区生活"。自发布以来，这只可爱的有袋类动物的照片在脸书上已被转发逾1300次，获得数百条评论。

>Women destroying makeup
韩女性'逃脱束缚'不化妆
Many South Korean women are destroying cosmetics and cutting their hair short to fight back against unrealistic beauty ideals in what is being dubbed the "escape corset" movement. In posts across Instagram, Twitter and other social media platforms, women have been denouncing the use of cosmetics and a culture that pressures as many as one in three women to undergo some form of plastic surgery. Beauty regimens commonly require women to spend hours applying makeup each day – often involving waking up two hours before work to do so or carrying out lengthy skincare routines that involve 10 steps or more at the end of each day. The "escape corset" movement is the latest development in the Asian country's exploding feminist movement in the age of #MeToo, in a country that was ranked a poor 116 out of 144 countries on gender equality by the World Economic Forum. The women abandoning demanding cosmetic regimens call themselves "beauty resisters" and are part of a broader pushback against South Korea's highly patriarchal society which places a huge emphasis on a woman's appearance as being key to success in life.
韩国正掀起一场名为"逃脱束缚"的运动，许多韩国女性毁掉化妆品、剪短头发，以此抗议不切实际的美容标准。韩国女性在Ins和推特等社交媒体平台上发帖，反对使用化妆品，对迫使多达1/3的女性接受不同形式的整容手术的文化氛围进行抨击。在韩国，女性通常每天要花好几个小时化妆，在上班之前两小时起床化妆，睡觉前还要进行冗长的护肤程序，一般有10个以上的步骤。"逃脱束缚"是#MeToo时期韩国爆发的最新一次女权运动。根据世界经济论坛的排名，韩国的性别平等状况在144个国家中排名仅第116。放弃了耗时耗力的美容习惯的女性称自己为"美丽抵抗者"，这也是她们对高度男权的韩国社会的抵制行为的一部分。韩国社会一直强调女性的美丽外表是人生成功的关键。

>State funeral for Bush held
美国为老布什举行国葬
In laughter and tears, the US held a state funeral Wednesday for the 41st president George H.W. Bush, who has been widely mourned and praised as a good leader and a devoted person with a "gentle soul" and great sense of humor during his 94-year lifetime. President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump, four living former US presidents, together with dignitaries from across the country and foreign leaders attended the state funeral at the Washington National Cathedral. Delivering the final eulogy at the funeral emotionally, the 41st president's son, former president George W. Bush, said his late father was "a great and noble man. The best father a son or daughter could have." George H.W. Bush passed away on Friday at his home. Following the funeral service, Bush's remains will be flown back to Houston later on Wednesday to lie in repose at St. Martin's Episcopal Church before burial Thursday at his family plot behind the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum. He will be buried alongside his wife Barbara Bush who died seven months ago, and Robin Bush, the daughter the couple lost to leukemia in 1953 at the age of 3.
