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. 

五十多年來美國和古巴首次同意恢復兩國之間的商業(yè)航班。這次在哈瓦那簽署的協(xié)議意味著在幾個月之內(nèi)，就將有一百多次航班每天往返于兩國之間。不過，目前從技術(shù)層面來說，美國公民訪問古巴仍屬非法。

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.   

去年英國打破歷史紀錄，有五萬多人接受了整容手術(shù)治療。英國美容整形外科醫(yī)生協(xié)會公布的數(shù)據(jù)還顯示，有比以往更多的男性選擇整容手術(shù)，上升比例首次超過了女性的上升比例。
