【摘要2020.2.1.蘋果】

In the war to end all wars, also known as World War I, two young soldiers, Schofield and Blake, are given a very dangerous mission. They must go behind enemy lines and get a message to 1,600 soldiers. These soldiers are 24 hours away from marching into a trap, but they don’t know it.

If Schofield and Blake don’t make it in time, the troops will face certain death. Starring Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, and others, 1917 tries to show viewers what it feels like to be in trouble in the middle of an unsafe battlefield.

假如史科菲德及布萊克沒有及時趕到，這支部隊將必死無疑。《1917》由柯林•佛斯、班奈狄克•康柏拜區等人主演，電影中試圖向觀眾營造出身處危險的戰場裡所遭遇到的麻煩氛圍。

An Italian restaurant in Australia has made a 103 meter Margherita pizza to raise funds for firefighters battling bushfires.

澳洲一家義大利餐廳製作了一個103公尺長的瑪格麗特披薩，為與林火奮戰中的消防員們募款。

The pizza was rolled out in rectangular, meter-long pieces of dough, pieced together and covered with tomato sauce and mozzarella, before being baked using a conveyor oven.

使用輸送帶烘爐去烤以前，這個披薩攤成長方形，由多片以公尺計的麵團湊成，鋪上番茄醬和莫札瑞拉起司。

It was then liberally seasoned with basil leaves, oregano and olive oil.

接著大方地以羅勒葉、奧勒岡草、橄欖油調味。

The effort took about four hours, according to Pellegrini’s restaurant, and yielded 4,000 slices.

根據佩萊格里尼餐廳，整起工程花了大概4小時，共產出4000片。

The proceeds went to the New South Wales Rural Fire service.

收益流向新南威爾斯州農村消防局。

A video of the pizza being made has gone viral on social media with lots of users marveling at its size.

製作披薩的影片在社群媒體瘋傳，大批使用者對其尺寸讚嘆不已。
