这家电商巨头的工程师正在默默测试可以辨识手部的扫描仪用来结账,打算几个月后在旗下的全食连锁超市推出。

英议会否决大选后休会
British lawmakers on Monday night voted to reject Prime Minister Boris Johnson's second bid for a snap general election again.

这是70多年来,英国政府首次不顾多方反对叫停议会。
"This government will press on with negotiating a deal, while preparing to leave without one," Johnson said after the result of the vote on an early election. "I will go to that crucial summit on Oct 17 and no matter how many devices this parliament invents to tie my hands, I will strive to get an agreement in the national interest...This government will not delay Brexit any further."
约翰逊在提前大选动议的表决结果出炉后表示:"本届政府将推进脱欧协议的谈判,同时也为无协议脱欧做准备。我将参加10月17日举行的欧盟峰会,无论议会想出多少办法束缚我的手脚,我都会力争达成一项符合国家利益的协议……本届政府不会再推迟脱欧。"
The Queen has granted royal assent to the law which requires the prime minister to seek a Brexit extension, preventing a no-deal withdrawal.
一项要求首相寻求推迟脱欧从而避免无协议脱欧的法案近日已获女王批准并成为法律。
