倫敦地鐵系統人滿為患。自2007年以來，地鐵客流量增加了30%；如今，乘客每天搭乘地鐵出行400萬人次。擁塞情況也在擴散——非尖峰時段的出行人數幾乎翻了一番。這種變化模式暗示著倫敦人生活和工作方式的改變。地鐵系統也開始進行調整以適應這一趨勢。 http://econ.st/1JDPVQH

With cities across the nation heaving in the biggest protests in decades, President Dilma Rousseff said she would try to address some grievances.
On a recent morning, Dr. Xu held forth from an armchair on his
adventures as an Einsteinian democrat, jabbing the air, waving his arms
and laughing often. Albert Einstein stared down sternly from above a
file cabinet.
“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds,” the inscription read.
Clad in a blue shirt, slippers and thick glasses, Dr. Xu got up from his easy chair to stand beneath the poster. “Those are some of his best words,” he said.
最近某天的上午，許良英坐在扶手椅上，講述起他作為愛因斯坦式的民主人士的冒險經歷，他用手指點着，雙臂在空中揮舞，不時發出爽朗大笑。在對面的文件柜上擺着阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦肖像，正神情嚴肅地向下俯視。
“偉大的心靈總是遭遇來自平庸者的強烈反對，”題詞這樣寫道。
許良英身着藍色襯衣，穿着拖鞋，戴着厚厚的眼鏡，他從自己舒適的扶手椅上站起來，走到這幅肖像的下面，說道，“這是他最好的一句名言。”
Golf enthusiasts have gathered in Farmingdale, NY, for this year's US Open. Reigning champion Tiger Woods is looking for a repeat of his last appearance in a US Open at Bethpage State Park. It was in 2002, the first time a publicly owned and operated golf course was chosen to host the US Open, and the event drew record-breaking crowds. Woods — the only golfer to score under par — won the tournament. Today, round two tees off on the park's Black Course, considered one of the most difficult golf courses in America. The first winner of a US Open (in 1895) was 21-year-old Horace Rawlins; he took home $150 in prize money. This year's winner will receive $1.5 million.
