>Britain suspends parliament
英女王已批准暫停議會
Queen Elizabeth II announced Wednesday she has given her consent to the request of Prime Minister Boris Johnson to suspend the British Parliament.
英國女王伊莉莎白二世28日宣布已同意首相鮑裡斯·詹森提出的暫停議會活動的請求。
The prime minister met with the Queen on Wednesday morning to request that she shuts down Parliament on Sept 9, just days after members return from their summer break, until Oct 14, just two weeks before the Brexit deadline on Oct 31.
詹森28日上午同女王見面，請求女王宣布議會從9月9日起休會，那時議員們剛結束暑假返崗沒幾天，而休會將一直持續至10月14日，那時距脫歐截止日期10月31日僅剩兩周。
The move appeared designed to limit the opportunity for Members of Parliament to press ahead with their plans to prevent Johnson from leaving the European Union on Oct 31 without a deal.
此舉的目的似乎是讓議員們不再有機會通過法案來阻止詹森在10月31日帶領英國以無協議的方式脫歐。

阿賈維在一份聲明中說："5個小時後，她把我叫進了一個房間，然後對我大喊大叫。她說，她發現我的好友列表上有人發布反對美國的政治觀點。"

此外，高端智慧型手機銷量將比其他類型手機銷量下滑更快，智慧型手機製造商正將旗艦手機的高端功能複製到低端手機上，從而吸引用戶更新換代。
