台灣又上報了. 以前上報大都因為政治醜聞, 只是這一次是個連我都會難過的新聞 (這樣說好像我平常是個什麼沒血沒淚的混蛋) . 所以這次的小小閱讀測驗, 請先為了這個悲劇所影響到的人默哀, 再看看能不能找出這篇文章想要說的四個重點:
Taiwan: A wedding day ended in tragedy when the groom died after having too much wine and beer. The 35-year-old, identified only as Wu, passed out at home after spending his reception attended by 100 guests at a top restaurant in Taipei. "Everyone was having a great time," said restaurant party organiser Linda Chien. "We don't know what happened after that." Wu was taken to hospital after his face turn black, according to a local newspaper. The groom died despite treatment, a hospital spokeswoman said.
解答:
重點一: METRO WORLD 的記者有點混. 新聞已經比人家晚了一天, 新郎的名字也公佈了, 什麼叫做 identified only as Wu....
重點二: Restaurant party organiser Linda Chien 真的和這件事一點關係都沒有.
重點三: 是當地的報紙說新郎的臉變黑了, 不是醫院的 spokeswoman.
重點四: 勸酒文化雖然並非中國人獨有, 在英國也聽過許多因為突然喝酒過量而死亡的例子, 還請大家小心. 喝酒過量, 有害健康.
