>Mum fills bath with chocolate
圣诞惊喜:浴缸变热巧湖

This Christmas, a Mum-of-two hilariously pranked her kids by filling up her entire bath with hot chocolate and marshmallows - and blamed it on the Elf on the Shelf.
今年圣诞节，澳大利亚一位妈妈为了逗她的两个孩子开心，将整个浴缸倒满热巧克力和棉花糖，还谎称这是《书架上的小精灵》施的魔法。

现年33岁的梅根·德扬在脸书页面上看到这个主意后，花5英镑买了热巧克力粉并将之倒入浴缸，还在热巧克力上撒了50块棉花糖，让小精灵们在上面划船。

梅根说："我女儿早上5点醒来，看到小精灵们在划船兴奋不已，之后把我和她四岁的弟弟叫起来，就为告诉我们她的发现。看到孩子们的兴奋样儿，让我觉得这么做绝对是值得的。"

>Qatar plans desert campsites
卡塔尔将建球迷帐篷村

Qatar's World Cup bosses have asked Glastonbury Festival chiefs to help plan huge desert campsites for thousands of football fans.
卡塔尔世界杯组织方已邀请格拉斯顿伯里音乐节的负责人帮忙打造可供数千名球迷住宿的大型沙漠露营地。

The tiny Gulf state expects a total of 1.6 million people to visit during the month long 2022 World Cup tournament, with up to 160,000 needing a bed on the busiest days.
为期一个月的2022年世界杯期间，预计总共将有160万人到访这个海湾小国，在客流量高峰阶段，将有多达16万人需要住宿。

But only 70,000 hotel rooms will be available in the capital Doha.

Two cruise ships will be docked in the port to provide temporary floating accommodation for around 40,000 during the tournament.
世界杯赛事期间，将会有两艘游轮停靠港口，为约4万人提供临时的水上住宿。

And now gigantic tented villages housing thousands more are in the pipeline.

卡塔尔官员透露，他们已联系格拉斯顿伯里音乐节的负责人寻求建议，该音乐节在英国的萨默塞特郡沃西农场为13.5万名音乐迷提供服务。

It is hoped the World Cup campsites, on the outskirts of the city, will have licensed bars and restaurants, entertainment and washing facilities. Fans will choose from a range of tents, from the very basic through to luxury "glamping", complete with plumbed-in toilets.
人们希望位于城郊的世界杯帐篷村里有具备经营执照的酒吧和餐厅、娱乐和洗浴设施，还有各种帐篷供球迷选择，有最基本款的，也有配备了抽水马桶的豪华帐篷。

>Boeing CEO steps down
波音CEO辞职新帅上任

Boeing's Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg has resigned from his position and current chairman David Calhoun was named by the board of directors as his successor, the US aircraft manufacturer said on Monday. Boeing said Calhoun would take over as the new chief executive and president as of Jan 13, 2020, and he will remain a member of the board.
美国飞机制造商波音公司23日宣布，其首席执行官丹尼斯·米伦伯格已辞职，董事会已任命现任董事长大卫·卡尔霍恩为首席执行官兼总裁，该任命自2020年1月13日起生效。波音称，卡尔霍恩将继续担任董事会成员。

It also said board member Lawrence Kellner will become non-executive chairman of the board effective immediately.
此外，董事会成员劳伦斯·凯尔纳将立即担任董事会非执行主席。

"A change in leadership was necessary to restore confidence in the company moving forward as it works to repair relationships with regulators, customers, and all other stakeholders," the company said. Boeing's commercially best seller 737 MAX has been grounded globally in March 2019 in the wake of the two deadly air crashes.
波音表示，公司"正在努力修复与监管机构、客户和所有其他利益相关者之间的关系，必须更换领导层才能恢复公众对公司的信任。" 因为发生两起严重空难，波音公司最畅销的机型737MAX今年3月起全球停飞。

The US Federal Aviation Administration said earlier this month that it would not re-certify the aircraft for resumed service until 2020, which crushed Boeing's hope of getting the plane cleared for flight before the end of this year.
本月早些时候，美国联邦航空管理局宣布，波音737MAX的复飞流程要到2020年才能完成。这意味着，波音737MAX在今年年底前重新投入运营的希望落空。
