拉伍．卡斯楚在一場重要演說中，把大部分時間都花在痛批古巴人民的各種不良行為，從貪污、偷竊到在公共場所小便，以及在城市裡養豬引起惡臭等無所不包。

Speaking before legislators at one of parliament’s twice-annual sessions, the Cuban president railed against decaying morals, a deteriorating sense of civic responsibility and vanishing values like honor, decency and decorum. Castro aired a laundry list of complaints about illegal activities that he said do the country harm： unauthorized home construction, illicit logging and slaughter of livestock and the acceptance of bribes, to name a few.

在國會每年兩次的議程開始前對國會議員發表演說時，這位古巴總統批評國民道德淪喪，公德心下降，榮譽、規矩和莊重等價值日漸消失。卡斯楚還舉出一長串他認為有損國家發展的不法行為清單：非法興建民宅、盜伐山林、非法屠宰牲畜及接受賄賂等，這還只是其中一小部分而已。

He also fulminated against baser examples of "social indiscipline"： shouting and swearing in the streets, public drinking and drunk driving, dumping trash on the roadside and even people who relieve themselves in parks.

他同時也嚴厲斥責某些「社會失序」的不良範例，如在街頭喊叫或罵人，公然飲酒和酒後駕車，在路邊亂倒垃圾，甚至在公園裡小便等。

At times, the 82-year-old’s speech sounded like a generational broadside against disrespectful youth who do as they please, a diatribe that could have crossed the lips of many a grandfather. （AP）

有時這位高齡82歲的總統演說聽起來像是長輩在痛批我行我素、目無尊長的年輕人，就像許多阿公在罵自家小輩時一樣。（美聯社）

透過架設在單車上的GoPro運動攝影機，沙爾迪亞捕捉他與有一雙亮黃雙眸的棕黑虎斑母貓MJ的畫面。儘管有點被喇叭聲與巴士嚇到，牠（貓）看似對單車之旅怡然自得，甚至在主人踩踏板時用鼻緊挨主人。
