US President Donald Trump on Thursday evening claimed that energy efficient light bulbs make him look orange, one in a series of bizarre claims about green energy and climate conservation in remarks to Republican House members in Baltimore.

12日晚,美国总统特朗普在巴尔的摩举行的众议院共和党人会议上发表讲话,控诉绿色能源和气候保护的几大"罪行",其中一项是:节能灯泡让他看起来"一脸橙色"。

"What's with the lightbulb?" Trump asked in his more than hour long remarks. He described energy efficient light bulbs as "many times more expensive than that old, incandescent bulb that worked very well" and "the lights no good." 在长达一个多小时的激昂陈词中,特朗普问道:"(节能)灯泡有什么用?" 他说,节能灯泡"比工作得很好的老式白炽灯贵很多倍",而且"灯光效果一点也不好"。

"The bulb that we're being forced to use, to me, most importantly, I always look orange," he said. "我们不得不使用的这种灯泡,对我来说,最成问题的,就是总让我看起来一脸橙色。"

Light bulbs have been a common target for the president who has used them as a symbol to criticize Obama-era energy and environmental restrictions. 灯泡问题一直都是特朗普攻击奥巴马时期制定的能源和环境限制政策的靶子。

The Trump administration lifted energy efficiency regulations earlier for several common types of light bulbs, which critics believe is the administration's assault on efforts to combat climate change and energy use. 早先,特朗普政府撤销了针对数种常用灯泡的节能规定,批评人士认为这是该政府在对抗气候变化和能源利用方面的倒行逆施。

An 18-carat solid gold toilet that was part of an art exhibit was stolen early on Saturday from the magnificent home in England where British wartime leader Winston Churchill was born.

伦敦西部的布莱尼姆宫里作为艺术展一部分展出的18k纯金马桶于14日凌晨被盗,该庄园是英国战时领袖温斯顿•丘吉尔的出生地。

The toilet, titled "America", was created in 2016 by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan. It was valued at roughly 1 million pounds. It had been installed only two days earlier at Blenheim Palace, west of London. 2016年,意大利艺术家莫瑞吉奥•卡特兰制作了这个名为"美国"的马桶,其价值约为100万英镑(约合人民币884.7万元)。这件展品两天前刚被安装在布莱尼姆宫里。

Police said the toilet was taken by thieves who used at least two vehicles. They believe the thieves left the spacious property around 4:50 am. 警方表示,多名盗贼用至少两辆汽车盗走该马桶,他们据信于4时50分许离开现场。

A 66-year-old man was arrested in the case, but he has not been identified or charged. Closed circuit TV footage is being studied in the investigation. 目前,该案中有一名66岁的男子被逮,但其身份尚未得到确认,此人也未受到起诉。警方在调查中正在仔细查看闭路电视片段。

Because it had been connected to the palace's plumbing system, police said the toilet's removal caused "significant damage and flooding" to the building, a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with valuable art and furniture.警方表示,由于马桶与宫殿的管道系统相连,马桶被拆除对该建筑造成了严重损坏,还出现了漏水的状况。布莱尼姆宫是联合国教科文组织认定的世界遗产,宫殿里到处都是珍贵的艺术品和家具。

Drone attacks on two Saudi Arabian oil production facilities on Saturday have halted around half of the supplies from the world's top exporter and raised global concerns over oil supplies.

全球最大石油出口国沙特阿拉伯的两处石油生产设施14日遭到无人机攻击,造成沙特约半数的石油供应中断,引发了全球对于石油供应的担忧。

A 10-drone attack, for which Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility, targeted Saudi state-owned oil company Aramco's facilities in Abqaiq and the Hijrat Khurais oilfield. 10架无人机袭击了沙特国有石油公司阿美位于布盖格的石油设施以及胡赖斯油田,也门胡塞反政府武装宣称对此次袭击负责。

The attacks resulted in "the temporary suspension of production operations," Saudi Energy Minister Abdulaziz bin Salman said Sunday in a statement. After Saturday's attacks, Saudi Arabia saw production cut by 5.7 million barrels a day.沙特能源大臣阿卜杜勒-阿齐兹•本•萨勒曼15日在声明中表示,袭击事件导致石油设施生产暂时中断。14日遭袭后,沙特石油日产量减少570万桶。
