An Iowa couple who won a $202 million Powerball jackpot in September is donating $3 million to their son’s high school for a new football stadium - but the gift comes with a catch.

一對在去年9月中了威力球頭彩2.02億美元獎金的愛荷華州夫妻，捐出300萬美元給兒子就讀的高中蓋一座新的美式足球場——但此一餽贈另有隱情。

The stadium visitor’s locker room must be painted pink.

這座體育場的客隊更衣室，必須漆成粉紅色。

The Bondurant-Farrar school district accepted the $3 million donation from Brian and Mary Lohse on Monday, The Des Moines Register reported.

（愛州首府）第蒙紀錄報報導，邦杜蘭特－法勒學區週一接受布萊恩與瑪莉‧羅西300萬美元捐款。

The couple from the Des Moines suburb of Bondurant requested only that the new stadium be completed before the fall 2014 football season - their oldest son’s senior year - and that the visiting team’s locker room be painted pink.

Apple Inc’s iPhone is losing some of its lustre among Asia’s well-heeled consumers in Singapore and Hong Kong, a victim of changing mobile habits and its own runaway success.

蘋果公司的iPhone在新加坡和香港富裕顧客群中的受寵程度下降，因手機用戶喜好發生變化，且受制於先前的大獲成功。

Driven by a combination of iPhone fatigue, a desire to be different and a plethora of competing devices, users are turning to other brands, notably those from Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, eating into Apple’s market share.

對iPhone感到疲乏、渴望與眾不同，再加上可選擇的手機琳琅滿目，用戶紛紛改買其他品牌的手機，尤其是三星手機，侵蝕了蘋果的市占率。

In Singapore, Apple’s products were so dominant in 2010 that more devices here ran its iOS operating system per capita than anywhere else in the world.

在新加坡，2010年時蘋果產品獨領風騷，使用蘋果iOS作業系統的裝置數人均比例，比全球任何一個國家都高。

But StatCounter , which measures traffic collected across a network of 3 million websites, calculates that Apple’s share of mobile devices in Singapore - iPad and iPhone - declined sharply last year. From a peak of 72 percent in January 2012, its share fell to 50 percent this month, while Android devices now account for 43 percent of the market, up from 20 percent in the same month last year.

不過， StatCounter根據300萬個網站的網頁瀏覽量分析，計算出蘋果iPad和iPhone在新加坡行動裝置的市占率去年大幅下降，本月從2012年1月高峰期的72％降至50％，目前使用安卓系統的裝置占43％，高於上年同期的20％。

In Hong Kong, devices running Apple’s iOS now account for about 30 percent of the total, down from about 45 percent a year ago. Android accounts for nearly two-thirds.（Reuters）

Russians mock Kremlin decision on Depardieu passport

俄羅斯人嘲笑克宮決定發給德巴狄厄護照

◎俞智敏

Russians reacted with amusement, disbelief and a heavy dose of irony to the news that the Kremlin has granted citizenship to French actor Gerard Depardieu to solve his tax woes.

俄羅斯民眾聽說克里姆林宮已給予法國影星傑哈德巴狄厄俄國公民資格，以解決其稅務窘境的消息後，紛紛報以好笑、不可置信及連串冷嘲熱諷的反應。

In a letter broadcast on Russian television, the former Oscar nominee declared his love for President Vladimir Putin and called Russia a "great democracy."

在一封由俄羅斯電視台轉播的公開信中，這位曾獲奧斯卡獎提名的演員宣稱他熱愛俄羅斯總統普廷，並稱俄羅斯為「偉大的民主國家。」

"He is impressed by our democracy -- he has completely lost his marbles," wrote one Facebook user, Vladimir Sokolov.

「他被我們的民主制度所感動—他已經完全頭殼壞去了，」一名臉書用戶索可洛夫寫道。

Far-left politician Eduard Limonov suggested Depardieu could reprise his famous film role of French revolutionary Georges Danton and risk detention by riot police at a regular unsanctioned rally against Putin.

A hospital in Germany is being sued for medical malpractice after surgeons allegedly left more than a dozen medical odds and ends inside a cancer patient’s body during a 2009 operation.

德國一家醫院的外科醫師據稱在2009年一場手術中，將十幾件醫療雜物留在一名癌症患者體內，醫院因此被控告醫療疏失。

The man, identified by the Daily Mail as 74-year-old Dirk Schroeder, had undergone a "routine surgery" for prostate cancer. The operation was believed to have gone well and Schroeder was told that he had at least "another six years" to live.

這名被「每日郵報」指認為74歲、名為德克．施若德的男子，因攝護腺癌接受一場「普通手術」。據信手術順利，而且施若德被告知他至少還可再活6年。

However, post-surgery, Schroeder discovered that his wounds had healed badly. According to his family, his pain was so intense that he often could not sit.

然而，施若德術後發現他的傷口癒合狀況不好。據他家人說，他常痛到不能坐。

When surgeons operated on Schroeder again, they were stunned to find 16 pieces of medical equipment in the man’s body. This included "a needle, a six-inch roll of bandage, a six-inch long compress, several swabs and a fragment of surgical mask," writes the Daily Mail.

醫師再度為施若德開刀時，在這名男子體內發現16件醫療物品，令他們感到震驚。這些物品包括「一支針、一捲6吋繃帶、一塊6吋長的敷布、數支棉棒以及手術口罩的碎片」，每日郵報寫道。

Incredibly, Schroeder survived this traumatic incident -- but the septuagenarian died last year due to complications that arose from his cancer.

Outspoken US Senator John McCain raised eyebrows online Monday when he compared Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to a monkey that the Islamic republic recently launched into space.

一向敢言的美國參議員麥肯，週一把伊朗總統阿瑪迪尼賈比為伊朗最近送上太空的猴子，讓眾人震驚。

"So Ahmadinejad wants to be first Iranian in space - wasn’t he just there last week?" said a message on McCain’s official Twitter feed, followed by the headline and link to a recent story："Iran launches monkey into space."

麥肯的官方推特發言表示：「所以阿瑪迪尼賈想成為首位上太空的伊朗人，可是他不是上週才去過嗎？」文後附上一則新聞的標題和連結：「伊朗發射猴子上太空。」

The comments by the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, a strong advocate for tougher sanctions on Tehran for its nuclear program, followed Ahmadinejad’s claim earlier Monday that he is ready "to be the first man in space" under Iran’s ambitious program which aims to send a human being into orbit by 2020.

麥肯是2008年總統大選的共和黨候選人，也強烈主張對德黑蘭當局的核計畫施加更嚴苛的制裁。麥肯此番發言之前，阿瑪迪尼賈在週一稍早聲稱，他準備好成為伊朗野心勃勃計畫中「第一位進入太空的人」，伊朗的目標是2020年將人類送入太空軌道。

The slur by McCain, the senator with by far the most Twitter followers, with nearly 1.8 million, elicited swift condemnation on Twitter.

麥肯是推特追蹤人數最多的參議員，有近180萬人，在他說出這番侮辱的話後，立刻在推特上引起眾人撻伐。

"Wow, way to elevate political discourse," tweeted @heyitsurban to McCain. Another user, @manolo_loop, wrote："@SenJohnMcCain is racism funny?"
