Aussie blood donor retires

澳81歲捐血人光榮'退休'

81-year-old Australian blood donor, James Harrison, has retired after saving the lives of more than 2.4 million babies by donating his blood over the past 60 years.?

哈里森的血漿中含有一種極為稀有的抗體，這種抗體可用于制造預(yù)防新生兒溶血癥的藥物。

這種名為anti-D的藥物適用于自身血型為RhD陰性、與腹中胎兒RhD陽(yáng)性血型相斥的孕婦。由于已超過澳大利亞捐獻(xiàn)血漿的法定年齡，哈里森進(jìn)行了他的第1173次，也是最后一次獻(xiàn)血。

He holds the Guinness World Record for the number of donations made, and the Australian Red Cross Blood Service said: "His kindness leaves a remarkable legacy."?

目前哈里森是世界獻(xiàn)血次數(shù)最多的吉尼斯紀(jì)錄保持者。澳大利亞紅十字會(huì)表示，哈里森的善心是一筆意義非凡的遺產(chǎn)。

Woman builds houseboat

女子花百萬建'水上豪宅'

An advertising executive who struggled to get on the property ladder is now living in her dream home after building a houseboat. Karen Boswell, 35, designed the ￡182,000, 21 meters long vessel, called Maybe Tomorrow, which took four months to create from scratch.?

一位為擁有屬于自己的房產(chǎn)而苦苦掙扎的廣告經(jīng)理建造了一艘船屋，如今她住上了自己夢(mèng)寐以求的"房子"。35歲的凱倫·博斯韋爾歷時(shí)4個(gè)月設(shè)計(jì)并裝修了一艘名為"也許明天"的船，該船價(jià)值18.2萬英鎊、長(zhǎng)約21米。

Boswell said despite earning a six figure salary in her job, she couldn't afford her own home even though she saved for years for a deposit.?

博斯韋爾稱，盡管她能通過工作賺到6位數(shù)的薪水，也存了好幾年錢，但卻仍買不起屬于自己的房子。

Her friend then gave her the idea of living in a houseboat, and she realized she could create her very own home for a fraction of the budget.?

后來朋友為她出了一個(gè)住在船屋上的主意，于是她意識(shí)到只需買房預(yù)算的一小部分，就可以建造自己的家了。

The boat, which includes a king sized bed, a bathroom with a double shower, concrete kitchen counter-tops and full height ceilings, is moored in a private marina in the Grand Union Canal, in north west London.?

這艘船內(nèi)有一張?zhí)卮筇?hào)的床，一間帶雙淋浴設(shè)備的衛(wèi)生間，水泥廚房臺(tái)面和挑高的天花板。目前船被停在倫敦西北部大運(yùn)河上的一個(gè)私人碼頭。

And because she has designed the boat with such a high spec, it is already worth ￡30,000 more than she paid for.

由于博斯韋爾設(shè)計(jì)了如此高規(guī)格的船，其價(jià)格已比博斯韋爾當(dāng)初買時(shí)高出3萬英鎊。
