Over last weekend, fans couldn't contain their excitement when news broke that Justin Bieber had proposed to Hailey Baldwin while they were vacationing in the Bahamas. While many were ecstatic that Bieber put a ring on it, others were quick to comment on their seemingly whirlwind romance.
A source confirmed to ET that Bieber popped the question at a resort in the Bahamas. "[They] are very excited about their future," the source said. "Justin decided to propose to Hailey in front of a group of people in the Bahamas but had been planning to ask her for a couple weeks now."
"The ring is gorgeous and Hailey is over the moon with joy," the source added. "The two can't stop telling their friends and family how excited they are for their journey together."
馬上學：Whirlwind意思為“旋風式的，一連串的”，如：a whirlwind romance (一場旋風式的戀愛)， a whirlwind tour of France (走馬觀花式的法國之旅)。
無兄弟，不足球：克羅地亞門將的世界盃夢
本屆世界盃黑馬克羅地亞隊這周殺進了決賽，將於週日與法國爭奪大力神杯。而克羅地亞隊最動人的故事無疑屬於門將蘇巴西奇和他“帶在”身上的摯友庫斯蒂奇。自從庫斯蒂奇十年前英年早逝後，蘇巴西奇就將印有好友照片的衣服穿在身上，並帶他踏上每一場比賽的征程，以此紀念他的兄弟隊友。即使是在擊敗俄羅斯隊後，興奮的蘇巴西奇也因為兄弟不能在場而動容。
早在16強階段，蘇巴西奇就因為在點球大戰中撲出3個點球而成為克羅地亞的英雄。而這場彌足珍貴的勝利也使得克羅地亞時隔20年後再度進入世界盃8強。
即便如此，蘇巴西奇卻從來沒有忘記自己的老朋友庫斯蒂奇。在擊敗丹麥隊後，蘇巴西奇沒有獨享榮譽，而是脫下球衣，向全世界展示和自己一起來到世界盃的庫斯蒂奇。在2008年，庫斯蒂奇在一場比賽中撞在了場邊的水泥牆上，幾天後因醫治無效而去世。雖然無法親自踏上世界盃的賽場，庫斯蒂奇在蘇巴西奇的幫助下終於圓了自己的世界盃夢。
Croatia goalkeeper Danijel Subasic has worn a shirt with the picture of former teammate Hrvoje Custic under his jersey for years, his way of honoring a close friend who died a decade ago. Even talking about Custic during a time of pride and enjoyment, like Croatia being in the World Cup quarterfinals, makes Subasic emotional as he broke down in tears on Tuesday when asked about his friend.
Subasic's name is on everyone's lips back home in Croatia after his performance in the round of 16 win over Denmark, making three saves in the penalty shootout. That effort helped put Croatia into the quarterfinals for the first time since 1998.
Yet Custic is always on Subasic's mind and under his jersey. While Subasic was getting praise after the Denmark performance, he was dedicating it to Custic, who died in 2008 after being injured during a game falling into a concrete wall near the sideline of a field. Custic died a few days after being injured.
Subasic has honored his friend since, and he's also earned the respect of his teammates.
馬上學：On everyone’s lips是個固定搭配，表示“廣為談論的”、“議論紛紛的”。
愛情裂痕？A妹如何回應未婚夫的爭議玩笑？
（圖片來源：news.sky.com）
A妹去年在英國曼徹斯特的演唱會曾遭遇恐襲， 22人喪生。而其未婚夫皮特•戴維森卻開了不合時宜的玩笑。
皮特因《週六夜現場》脫口秀而出名，他在恐怖襲擊後曾開玩笑稱A妹一定明白了自己有多出名，因為連“小甜甜”布蘭妮的演唱會都沒有被恐襲過。出了這樣的事兒，有粉絲表示，不理解A妹為什麼仍和皮特在一起。近期，A妹公開對這件事做出了回應，稱自己完全沒有覺得這個笑話好笑。
有粉絲直接提出：“我尊重A妹的選擇也真心希望她幸福，但是這樣的玩笑對包括A妹在內的很多人都造成了傷害。依我看，這笑話完全不好笑，反而非常無禮。”
隨後，A妹也在推特上回復表示，這件事確實讓自己的內心感到很複雜。自己當然覺得這個玩笑並不好笑。但皮特一向都是用自己的幽默給大家帶來積極的感受，他從來沒有惡意。
Ariana Grande has responded to criticism of her fiancé’s joke about the Manchester Arena attack, admitting she "didn't find it funny". The singer was reacting to a fan who questioned her decision to stay with Pete Davidson after reports of the joke emerged.
The 24-year-old comedian, best known for his sketches on Saturday Night Live, is alleged to have said that Grande must realize how famous she is because "Britney Spears didn't have a terror attack at her concert". Twenty-two people were killed by Salman Abedi after he detonated an explosive device in the foyer of Manchester Arena shortly after Grande's concert on 22 May last year.
Questioning Ariana’s engagement with Pete, a fan tweeted: "I respect Ariana and I want her to be happy and everything, but she was just broken after the Manchester bombing, so I don't know why she is still with Pete, like yeah he made that joke a while ago, but like it's not funny, it's just rude. This is my opinion."
As Ariana said on twitter, this has been very tough and conflicting on her heart since she of course did not find the joke funny. Moreover, the pop singer concluded that Pete used comedy to help others feel better about the world and his intention was never malicious, but this was still unfortunate.
馬上學：Malicious 指“惡意的，惡毒的”，近義詞有spiteful, venomous等。
