   Chinese fraudsters are doing a roaring trade in fake sick notes designed to help football fans skip work during this month’s World Cup.


  最近一些中国造假者的生意不错--他们兜售伪造的病假条,让球迷们在看完世界杯比赛之后不用上班。
  The 11-hour time difference between China and host nation Brazil means that only early risers will be able to follow the action here, with many games kicking off at 3am local time.
  由于中国和巴西11个小时的时差,很多比赛在北京时间凌晨3点开始,球迷们必须起的很早才能看球。
  Unwilling 1 to miss the pre-dawn matches, football-mad Chinese are reportedly turned to an underground network of counterfeiters, splashing out up to 300 yuan (?28.50) for doctor’s notes allowing them to miss work after a long morning in the pub.
  一些狂热的中国球迷为了不错过这些凌晨进行的比赛,花费多达300元从造假者的地下网络购买病假条,以免在酒吧熬夜看球后还要上班。
  “White collar soccer fans looking to score a day off to watch the upcoming World Cup in Brazil can get an assist with fake online doctor’s notes,” the state-run Global Times said in a recent story about how Taobao, China’s answer to eBay, was awash with the fabricated documents.
  “白领球迷们靠网上购买的假病假条来请假看世界杯”,官方媒体《环球时报》最近报道了淘宝网(中国版易趣)上充斥着这种假文件。
  For 100 yuan The Telegraph acquired a sick note. The apparently 2 legitimate 3 note and accompanying medical record purport 4 to be from the respiratory department at Shanghai’s Ruijin Hospital, one of the city’s best.
  《电讯报》记者花100元买了一张病假条。这份假条看起来很合法,附带的病历上写着是由上海最好的医院之一瑞金医院的呼吸科开出。
  A Ruijin Hospital official said: “We have heard of the sick note before but never seen one.” Employers were welcome to bring suspect paperwork to the hospital for investigation 5, the official added.
  瑞金医院的工作人员说:“我们之前听说过假病假条,但从未见过。” 他还表示欢迎雇主们来医院对可疑的假条做鉴定。
  Not all buyers were impressed with their purchases.
  不是每个假病假条的买家都给了好评。
  “A fake. My company discovered and now I’ve been sacked,” one vented 6, in a furious online review. “Liars! Absolutely not to be trusted!”
  一名愤怒的买家留言说:“骗人的。公司发现了,我被开除了。骗子!根本不能信!”
  美国女大学生毕业典礼当众哺乳引争议
  A photograph of a young mother breastfeeding at her recent graduation ceremony has provoked a storm of online debate.
  一张年轻妈妈在毕业典礼当众给孩子喂奶的照片在网上引发了巨大争议。
  Despite getting pregnant in her last year at college, Karlesha Thurman, 25, stayed in school and completed her accounting 7 degree.
  25岁的莉莎·瑟曼在大学最后一年怀孕了,但她还坚持在学校上课并完成了自己的会计学学位。
  At her graduation from Long Beach State University in California last month, she brought along her three-month-old daughter Aaliyah.
  上个月她在加州州立大学长滩分校的毕业典礼上,带来了自己3个月大的女儿阿莉娅。
  After the ceremony, Karlesha was proudly showing off her daughter to friends when Aaliyah became hungry.
  毕业典礼后,莉莎骄傲地给朋友们炫耀自己的女儿,然后小宝贝阿莉娅饿了。
  Still dressed in her cap and gown, Karlesha decided 8 to feed her baby and a friend, who thought it cool, asked if they could take a picture.
  莉莎当时还穿着学士服、戴着学士帽,但她仍然决定马上给孩子喂奶。有一位朋友认为这样很酷,还问能不能拍照片。
  A couple of days ago she posted the photo on the Facebook page, Black Women Do Breastfeed, to support a woman who wrote of getting dirty looks while nursing in public.
  莉莎几天前在“黑人女性母乳喂养” Facebook主页上传了自己的照片,此举是为了支持一位女子写作关注公众场合母乳喂奶的不雅行为问题。
  ‘I did it to show it’s natural, it’s normal, there’s nothing wrong with it,’ Karlesha told Today.
  “我这样做是为了表明母乳喂奶是很自然、很正常的,一点问题都没有。” 莉莎告诉《今日报》记者。
  'It’s not disgusting, it’s not a bad thing, it’s not a negative thing. It’s the best thing for my daughter. More people should do it,' she added.
  她还补充道,“这不是坏事,也不消极,没什么可恶心的。这是给我女儿最好的东西,应该有更多的人像我这样做。”
  Though Karlesha has since deleted her photo, the Facebook group decided to share the photo as part of their efforts to try and normalize breast-feeding in public.
  尽管莉莎后来删除了这张照片,但Facebook小组决定继续分享这一照片,以继续支持公众场合母乳喂奶的普及。
  As the photo spread, the Facebook page - and Karlesha - received a lot of support. 'Congratulations to the mom for graduating & putting your baby 1st,' Michelle Spruill wrote on the group’s Facebook page.
  照片发布后被大量转发,这一Facebook主页和莉莎得到了很多支持。“祝贺妈妈毕业,为宝宝点赞!”网友米歇尔在该Facebook主页上评论道。
  As well as support, the photo also drew some negative comments as well. Some people though it was inappropriate and that she should have covered up.
  除了支持之外,这张照片也得到了一些负面评论。有些人认为照片尺度太大不合适,她应该遮掩一下。
  Karlesha, however, has no regrets. ‘I was proud of the fact that not only did I graduate but that I got to share the moment with the one person who is the most important to me and that is my daughter,’ she told Today.
  然而莉莎却一点也不后悔,“我骄傲,不仅因为我毕业了,还因为我和最重要的人、我的女儿共同分享了这一时刻。”她告诉《今日报》记者。
