【#英国宣布30年来最大规模军事投资计划#[话筒]】British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced Thursday the country's largest military investment in 30 years -- an extra 16.5 billion pounds (about 21.9 billion U.S. dollars) in defense spending over the next four years. In his speech to the House of Commons (lower house of the British Parliament), Johnson said Britain needs to "upgrade capabilities across the board" to end "the era of retreat" by transforming its armed forces. 英国首相约翰逊19日宣布，英国政府将在未来4年内对国防部追加总共165亿英镑（约合218亿美元）的军费投入，主要用于太空、人工智能等领域。英国政府在声明中说，这是30年来英国政府最大规模的军事投资计划。

对酒

—李白
蒲萄酒，金叵罗，
Wine of the grapes,Goblets of gold-
吴姬十五细马驮。
And a pretty maid of Wu
She comes on pony-back;she is fifteen
青黛画眉红锦靴，
Blue-painted eyebrows,Shoes of pink brocade
道字不正娇唱歌。
Inarticulate speec-But she sings bewitchingly well
玳瑁筵中怀里醉，
So,feasting at the table,Inlaid with tortoise shell,she gets drunk in my lap
芙蓉帐底奈君何。
Ah,child,what caresses
Behind lily-embroidered curtains
