蜘蛛俠退出漫威宇宙！粉絲都要炸了！
A dispute between Walt Disney Co and Sony Corp threatens to end their co-production of Spider-Man films, according to people familiar with the situation, putting the future of one of Marvel's most beloved characters up in the air.
據知情人士透露，華特-迪士尼公司和索尼公司之間的一場糾紛可能會導致他們合拍的《蜘蛛俠》電影停拍，漫威最受喜愛的角色之一（小蜘蛛：飾演者湯姆·荷蘭弟）的未來，將被置於懸而未決的境地。
Sony holds the film rights to the popular Marvel character, even though Disney acquired Marvel Studios for US$4 billion in 2009.
儘管迪士尼在2009年以40億美元收購了漫威影業，但索尼仍然擁有這個人氣漫威角色的電影版權。
Disney has been requesting a 50% share of profits in the films going forward. Sony wanted to keep the current arrangement, in which Disney gets a 5% share of box-office revenue, according to the Deadline website, which reported earlier on the dispute.
迪士尼一直要求在該系列未來的電影中獲得50%的利潤。據Deadline網站早些時候的報導，索尼則希望保留目前的安排，即迪士尼獲得5%的票房收入。
「We are disappointed, but respect Disney’s decision,」 Sony said in an emailed statement. 「Kevin is terrific and we are grateful for his help and guidance and appreciate the path he has helped put us on, which we will continue.」
「我們很失望，但尊重迪士尼的決定，」索尼在一份電子郵件聲明中表示。「凱文很棒，我們感謝他的幫助和指導，感謝他幫助我們走上的道路，我們會繼續走下去。」

世紀渣男？具惠善安宰賢離婚糾紛
Actress Gu Hye Sun posted an announcement on her Instagram that may have shocked many of her fans, as well as fans of the reality show Newlywed Diary, which she filmed with her husband, Ahn Jae Hyun.
女演員具惠善在自己的Instagram上發布了一個公告，這可能讓她的許多粉絲，以及讓來自她和丈夫安宰賢拍攝的真人秀《新婚日記》的粉絲們感到震驚。
On August 18, the actress wrote that her marriage with Ahn had lost its spark, that her husband had experienced a change of heart and wanted a divorce. However, she said that she wanted to stay married. She also said that her husband's representatives would soon be releasing reports that are untrue, but did not say what the reports would be. The post was unexpected, as there had previously been no rumors to suggest a rift.
在8月18日，這位女演員寫道，她和安宰賢的婚姻已經失去了火花，她的丈夫經歷了一次心理轉變變得想要離婚。但是她說自己想繼續婚姻。她還說，她丈夫的經紀人（公司）很快就會發布虛假消息，但沒有說會出現的報告的具體內容。這篇文章出乎意料，因為之前沒有任何謠言表明（他們之間）有分歧。
下面是具惠善後續放出的聊天截圖：
Gu and Ahn, who met on the set of the vampire drama Blood, began dating in 2015 and married the following year. Together, they took part in the reality show Newlywed Diary, which explored their newly married life. On the program they often discussed their varying perspectives but always seemed to reconcile any differences.
在吸血鬼劇集《血Blood》中結識的具惠善和安宰賢，從2015年開始約會，次年結婚。他們一起參加了真人秀《新婚日記》，探討了他們的新婚生活。在這個節目裡，他們經常討論各自不同的觀點，但似乎總能調和任何分歧。

丹麥人要買下美國？川普差點急得跳牆
After rebuffing Donald J. Trump’s hypothetical proposal to purchase Greenland, the government of Denmark has announced that it would be interested in buying the United States instead.
在粗暴回絕了川普購買格陵蘭的建議後，丹麥政府宣布，他們其實對買下美國很感興趣。
「As we have stated, Greenland is not for sale,」 a spokesperson for the Danish government said on Friday. 「We have noted, however, that during the Trump regime pretty much everything in the United States, including its government, has most definitely been for sale.」
「正如我們所陳述的，格陵蘭不是賣品。」丹麥政府發言人16日說，「我們注意到，在川普執政下，美國幾乎所有東西，包括它的政府，都在可出售之列。」
「Denmark would be interested in purchasing the United States in its entirety, with the exception of its government,」 the spokesperson added.
「丹麥對買下整個美國很感興趣，當然，這不包括它的政府。」丹麥發言人補充說。

漢堡王新出「人造肉」漢堡，你想吃嗎？
Burger King will start selling its meatless Impossible Whopper in its more than 7,000 locations across the US starting on August 8th. The fake meat patty, which costs only a dollar more than the beef version, is supplied by Impossible Foods.
從8月8日起，漢堡王將開始在美國7000多家分店銷售其不可思議皇堡（Impossible Whopper）。這種人造肉漢堡的價格只比牛肉漢堡高一美元，是由人造事物製作的。
It first rolled out in April in St. Louis restaurants which is the version of the popular plant-based-but-beefy Impossible Burger. The Impossible Whopper contains 15 percent less fat and 90 percent less cholesterol than the standard Whopper.
它於四月份在聖路易斯的餐館首次推出。這是一種用植物製成但是吃起來像牛肉的被叫做不可思議皇堡的漢堡，很受歡迎。它比標準漢堡含脂肪少15%，膽固醇少90%。
Even still, Burger King claims customers can’t tell the difference, especially because the burger is designed to 「bleed,」 just like a meat patty.
儘管如此，漢堡王還是聲稱顧客無法分辨兩者的區別，特別是因為漢堡王設計了「流血」（血紅素），就像（真正的）肉餅一樣。
動物肌肉中含有豐富的血紅素，這是肉類嘗起來美味的原因。而這種蛋白質普遍蘊含在動植物中，因此使用植物中的血紅素，也能讓素肉吃起來和真肉一樣。而且這種紅色液體，能讓一塊素肉餅看起來就像是流血的新鮮牛肉。
This occurs because of a compound called heme, which is found in plants and meat.
正是因為一種叫做血紅素的化合物，它們存在於植物和肉類中。

「地球之肺」嚴重受創，亞馬遜大火已持續三周！
The Amazon rainforest is burning at a record rate. Earlier this month, Brazil declared a state of emergency over the rising number of fires in the region. So far this year, almost 73,000 fires have been detected by Brazil's space research center, INPE. That marks an 83% increase from 2018 and the highest number on record since 2013, according to Reuters.
亞馬遜雨林正在以創紀錄的速度燃燒。本月早些時候，巴西宣布該地區火災數量不斷增加，進入緊急狀態。到目前為止，巴西的空間研究中心在今年已經探測到近73000起火災。據路透社報導，這標誌著自2018年以來增長了83%，是自2013年以來的最高記錄。
What caused the fire?
While the Amazon rainforest is typically wet and humid, July and August -- the onset of the dry season -- are the region's driest months, with "activity" peaking by early September and stopping by mid-November, according to NASA.
是什麼引起了火災？
雖然亞馬遜雨林通常是很潮溼的，但據美國國家航空航天局稱，七月和八月——旱季的開始——是該地區最乾燥的月份，隨著的「（火災）活動」在9月初達到高峰，11月中旬停止。
Fire is often used to clear out the land for farming or ranching. For that reason, a vast majority of the fires can be attributed to humans, Christian Poirier, program director of the nonprofit Amazon Watch, told CNN.
大火通常被用來清除耕地或牧場。非營利性亞馬遜觀察組織（Amazon Watch）的項目負責人克裡斯蒂安•波瑞爾（Christian Porier）告訴CNN，由於這個原因，絕大多數的火災都可以歸因於人類。
