【國外新聞】泰王任命「貝東塔」出任總理，成該國史上最年輕總理 (Thailand’s king endorses Paetongtarn Shinawatra as prime minister)
- Thaksin returned to Thailand almost a year ago after 15 years of self-exile, and while he was right away sentenced for abuse of power and corruption from his rule back then, he was released on parole just half a year later after spending that time in hospital instead of a prison cell.
他信在自我放逐 15 年後於近一年前回到泰國，雖然他因濫用權力和當年統治期間的腐敗行為而立即被判刑，但僅過了半年，他信就被假釋出獄，這段時間他不是在牢房而是在醫院度過的。

獵奇的創作人生兩難！杭特·S·湯普森道出瘋狂藝術家的宿命？ (The Terrible Paradox of Being a Creative Person - Hunter S. Thompson)
- This sort of violent, abusive, and misogynistic behavior was not a rare case in the world of late 1960s America. To get a better sense of the world Thompson was living in, in a TV interview he and a Hells Angels member did with CBC, the audience laughed as the Hells Angels member made jokes about the other member beating his wife and dog, while Thompson was essentially made a mockery of for caring and stepping in. Though, at this time, racism, sexism, violence, hatred, and corruption were the norm, they were rubbing up against an expanding moral consciousness carried out by countercultural movements like the 60s hippie movement. There were growing efforts, hopes, and promises of greater peace, acceptance, and societal function.
在 20 世紀 60 年代末的美國，這種暴力、虐待和厭惡女性的行為並不罕見。為了更好地瞭解湯普森所處的世界，在他和一名地獄天使成員接受加拿大廣播公司（CBC）的一次電視採訪中，當地獄天使成員開玩笑說另一名成員毆打他的妻子和狗時，觀眾們鬨堂大笑，而湯普森卻因為關心和介入而受到嘲弄。儘管此時種族主義、性別歧視、暴力、仇恨和腐敗已成為常態，但它們卻與 60 年代嬉皮士運動等反文化運動所倡導的不斷擴大的道德意識相沖突。人們對更大的和平、接納和社會功能做出了越來越多的努力、希望和承諾。
- Witnessing political corruption, police brutality, needless war, and the failure of countercultural movements to meaningfully enact social change, Thompson felt the conditions of things were, in his words, Christ it's bad. Underneath the prosperity of Americanism was an underbelly of violence, greed, corruption, excess, and an emptiness that was bloating.
湯普森目睹了政治腐敗、警察暴行、無謂的戰爭，以及反文化運動未能有意義地實現社會變革，他覺得，用他的話說，"基督已經壞了"。在美國式繁榮的背後，是暴力、貪婪、腐敗、過度和膨脹的空虛。
