*【聯邦探員對波特蘭發動軍事鎮壓】
身穿迷彩服和戰術裝備的聯邦探員在波特蘭街頭,釋放催淚瓦斯,並造成示威者受傷。號稱平息持續性騷亂和保護政府財產,卻激怒了當地領導,波特蘭市市長泰德•惠勒說:“這是對我們民主的攻擊。” 連續50天抗議的波特蘭衝突,反映了執法部門歧見不斷增加,川普總統威脅佛洛伊德被員警殺害事件的處理,讓這一場種族爭議難以平息。

*【聯邦探員在波特蘭的行為合法嗎】
國土安全部成立了“快速部署小組”。這些人員由海關和邊境保護局,運輸安全管理局,海岸警衛隊以及移民和海關執法局的人員組成,負責保護聯邦財產。但錄影畫面顯示,聯邦特工在抗議者身上使用催淚瓦斯,將人們從街上拉走,這引發了民眾對國土安全官員,嚴厲打擊公民的法律權威質疑。國土安全部(Department of Homeland Security)可以引用保護財產的聯邦法規,來為逮捕俄勒岡州波特蘭市抗議者辯護,但他們是否延長了這項法律將取決於法官裁決。

古巴版勇者鬥惡龍
Cuban Dragon Quest
請原諒我用詼諧的語調來講述一個英雄的傳奇。 如不是這樣,這文章會顯得太批判且爭議。這個故事是有關於古巴英雄Che Guevara。Che Guevara 古巴式西文發音接近「謝•給巴喇」。謝一輩子多數的時間都在扮演鬥惡龍的勇者。那麼我們就姑且稱呼他為「勇者謝」吧!
Forgive me for describing a hero’s legend in a comic style. If it is done otherwise, this article would appear too critical as well as controversial. The story begins with a dragon slayer whose name was Che Guevara. Most of his life was spent on trying to slay an evil dragon. So, let’s tentatively call him Che the Dragon Slayer.
勇者謝本名叫Ernesto Guevara。結過兩次婚。第一任妻子生了一個女兒,第二任生了4個孩子。他曾有個美夢想要生一個棒球隊的孩子。後來甚至希望要一個足球隊。
Che the Dragon Slayer’s actual name is Ernesto Guevara, who was married twice with one daughter from the first marriage and four children from the second. He once had a dream of wanting to have a baseball team of kids and a football team for later.
謝出生於阿根廷的一個富裕的家庭。還未成為勇者的謝在醫學院畢業後與友人花了九個月騎摩托車遊歷在各個拉丁美洲國家之中(可參考電影摩托車日記)。這個時期拉丁美洲許多國家活在惡龍的威脅陰影之下。就像最後成為佛祖的那位看遍了人世苦難的印度王子一樣,謝的革命思維在遊歷期間因為見到了許許多多不公不不義而逐漸成熟。
Che was born into a well-to-do Argentinian family. After graduating from medical school and before taking on his dragon slayer title, Che spent nine months touring countries in Latin America with his friend (please refer to the excellent movie The Motorcycle Diaries). Latin America during that time was under the looming shadow from an evil dragon. Like the Indian prince who became Buddha after witnessing all the worldly suffering, Che’s idea to start a revolution to free Latin America became fully developed while he saw many injustices during his trip.
旅程結束後的隔年,謝就加入了革命的行列成為一位真正的勇者,發誓讓中南美洲免於惡龍的威脅。坊間相傳他在墨西哥時三訪卡斯楚,想要加入古巴革命軍。但前前兩次都被拒絕了,第三次他透過卡斯楚的一位阿根廷好朋友跟卡斯楚推薦。第三次卡斯楚終於說:好吧,謝(Che )你來吧。從此他在秘密行動中開始使用謝這個化名。甚至在給本國人使用的3 CUP上放上了自己勇者謝(Che)的簽名和肖像。
In the year following the end of his journey, Che joined the ranks of the revolution and became a genuine dragon slayer, swearing to free Latin America from the threats of the evil dragon. According to one of Che the Dragon Slayer’s stories among Cubans, he visited Fidel Castro in Mexico three times, each time intending to join the Cuban revolution force. He was turned down the first two times. The third time, Che the Dragon Slayer had a good Argentinian friend of Fidel Castro recommend that Che be allowed to join the force. Finally, Fidel Castro nodded his approval, and said “Che, come and join us!”. Ever since that moment, this dragon slayer adopted the name Che for all his covert operations. He even allowed the name Che and his portrait to be used on the three-dollar CUP bill used by the locals.
前往Santa Clara路上,座落著勇者謝的衣冠塚紀念館。紀念館建築上方豎立了一尊著軍裝的勇者謝雕像。其中值得注意的是他的左手打著石膏。石膏的由來是他在這附近打游擊戰時,為了翻過一道高牆而摔斷了左手臂。因此立在這裡的雕像如實表現勇者鬥惡龍的狀況。在給外國人用的3 CUC的鈔票上的雕像就是這個Che的雕像。
On the way to Santa Clara sits the Che Guevara Mausoleum. A bronze statue of Che the Dragon Slayer in his military uniform was erected on top of the building. When looking carefully, you will notice that the left arm of the statue is in a cast. The story goes that Che the Dragon Slayer was in a battle in this area and broke his left arm when he tried to flip over a wall. Therefore, the statue with the cast reflects truthfully how he fought against the dragon. You can also find an image of this statue printed on the 3-CUC bill that foreigners use.
勇者謝在打贏了古巴革命戰爭之後,以為已經戰勝Boss級的惡龍,接受了古巴央行總裁的職位。他一家人移民到古巴,準備要生出一整個棒球隊的孩子。然而勇者謝不經意轉身一看,卻發現那惡龍卻在其他國家荼毒肆虐。然後,他再次穿上盔甲去非洲剛果幫助當地人打游擊戰。他說必須離開他的家人,但古巴革命會替他照顧他的家人。後來1967年勇者謝在玻利維亞打游擊戰被俘虜然後殺害。而古巴和卡斯楚確實替他照顧他的家人。
After Che the Dragon Slayer won the Revolutionary War, he thought the evil dragon had been slayed. He then accepted the position as the president of the National Central Bank. His family immigrated to Cuba, and he was set to pursue his dream of having a baseball team of kids. However, Che looked around the world and realized that the dragon was making people in other countries suffer. He decided to put on his armor once again to help the people in the Congo fight the dragon. He told the Cuban people that he had to leave and asked that Cuba look after his family for him. And, Fidel Castro and Cuba looked after his family indeed.
在玻利維亞,一些勇者謝招募的人員被惡龍的情報局給收買而一直洩漏他的行蹤,加上惡龍情報局收買當地的其他游擊隊來追殺他,他終於和其他游擊隊員共39人被惡龍的爪牙捕獲。下令殺他的人事後後悔說到他並沒有因為殺了勇者而變成英雄,反而臭了自己的名聲。一位在場的玻利維亞人在臨終之前透露了勇者謝被殺害埋屍的地點。一位比利時研究人員和古巴研究人員合力找到了當時已經變成機場的地址,花了約一個月時間終於挖到了39具遺骸。遺骸以英雄規格被迎接回古巴,由卡斯楚親自迎接。其場面令全國動容。
Che the Dragon Slayer was murdered while leading a guerrilla war in Bolivia.
In Bolivia, some comrades recruited by Che the Dragon Slayer were bought out by the evil dragon’s intelligence service and leaked his whereabouts. Plus, some guerrilla groups were also hired by the evil dragon to hunt him down. He and 38 other guerrilla members were captured. The officer who gave the order to execute Che the Dragon Slayer regretted his actions and mentioned later that he became notorious for executing the dragon slayer. One person present when Che and 38 members were executed revealed on his death bed the location of Che the Dragon Slayer’s burial ground. A Belgian researcher worked together with Cuban researchers and found the burial site at what had become an airport. They spent approximately one month unearthing the remains of the 39 bodies. The remains were then shipped back to Cuba and received with the nation’s highest honors by Fidel Castro. It was a heartfelt scene for the entire nation.
總而言之,這一路過關斬將的勇者謝,有著無比堅定的信念及行動力。如果勇者謝的思想可以被視為一種信仰,那麼他就是信仰中的救世主了。可惜與小說裡的結局不同的是,勇者在半途中倒下,也沒有電玩中的三條命可以回魂。然而在他倒下時所發出的巨響,卻震撼了全世界。 勇者謝身前的一張照片(在3 CUP紙鈔上)被義大利來的記者從古巴的資料庫中給取走,在歐洲媒體刊出並在世界各地造成一股旋風。各地許多嬉皮響應並認同勇者謝想要讓美洲和非洲免於惡龍控制的的革命志向。勇者謝著名的照片於是在世界各地成為了正義與勇氣的象徵。~完結~
All in all, Che the Dragon Slayer, who crossed many hurdles, had an extremely strong faith and success in carrying out his ideals. If his ideology were a religion, he would then be considered its Savior. Unfortunately, unlike happy endings in some novels, the dragon slayer bit the dust along the way. And, he didn’t have three lives either like some of the dragon-slaying video games. However, the enormous sound made by his body falling on the ground shocked the world. The photo portrait of Che Guevara on the three-CUP bill was copied by an Italian journalist and then published in some European media, which created a whirlwind across the world. Over the years following Che the Dragon Slayer’s death, many people have answered Che’s call to free Africa and Latin America from the evil dragon. Che the Dragon Slayer’s famous photo has become a symbolic icon of courage and justice.

你知道最近英國男士最新時尚穿著是什麼嗎?
最近要去英國的人,如果你是男生,別忘了買這件西裝背心,而如果是女生,幫你身邊的男性友人買這件英國最夯的西裝背心吧。
睽違28年,英國隊終於打進世界盃足球賽四強賽,除了讓原本不期不待的英國人瞬間唯之瘋狂之外,場上另一股風潮也瞬間襲擊英國街頭。
來自英國隊總教練Gareth Southgate帶領英國足球隊闖進世界盃四強,不只在他的領導有方,他的穿著更成了一種新的時尚風潮。
我們都知道英國是一個非常重視穿西裝的國家,甚至對於如何穿西裝都是一種身分象徵。
今年,Gareth Southgate總教練有別於別人,沒有穿西裝外套而以一件"緊身"西裝背心搭配藍色襯衫的西裝造型,在球場上成為一種特有Icon。
昨天星期三是英國隊很重要的一役,對於克羅埃西亞要搶奪世足賽最後一張冠軍門票,在英國甚至發起了"Waistcoat Wednesday",在星期三這天上班穿上西裝背心來支持英國隊。
而英國隊服裝造型贊助商Mark & Spencer更是一度造成這件西裝背心被搶空,只剩下XXL與XXXL尺寸。
"Navy Tailored Fit Wool Waistcoat" 在服裝贊助商官網請認好,是Navy顏色,Wool羊毛材質,最重要是Fit緊身款的西裝背心,才是英國隊總教練身上穿的這件喔~
雖然,昨晚英國隊在最後延長賽輸給了克羅埃西亞,必須跟比利時爭奪第三名獎盃。
不管如何,這場比賽也帶給英國人一個穿著新風潮,贊助商M&S更是直接在官網首頁放上這間西裝背心的連結,重新補貨讓你一鍵直達下訂買好。 :D
