US-Cuba flights return 美國(guó)-古巴恢復(fù)商業(yè)通航

Male cosmetic surgery surge 男性整容數(shù)量劇增

文字稿

The United States and Cuba have signed a deal restoring commercial flights between the countries for the first time in more than 50 years. The agreement in Havana means there could be more than 100 flights a day within months. But it is still at the moment technically illegal for American citizens to visit Cuba as tourists. 

五十多年來(lái)美國(guó)和古巴首次同意恢復(fù)兩國(guó)之間的商業(yè)航班。這次在哈瓦那簽署的協(xié)議意味著在幾個(gè)月之內(nèi)，就將有一百多次航班每天往返于兩國(guó)之間。不過(guò)，目前從技術(shù)層面來(lái)說(shuō)，美國(guó)公民訪問(wèn)古巴仍屬非法。

A record number of people had cosmetic surgery in the UK last year – more than 50,000 people went under the knife. This, according to data released by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. It also shows that for the first time the number of men opting for procedures went up by a greater percentage than the number of women.   

去年英國(guó)打破歷史紀(jì)錄，有五萬(wàn)多人接受了整容手術(shù)治療。英國(guó)美容整形外科醫(yī)生協(xié)會(huì)公布的數(shù)據(jù)還顯示，有比以往更多的男性選擇整容手術(shù)，上升比例首次超過(guò)了女性的上升比例。
