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."

无兄弟，不足球：克罗地亚门将的世界杯梦
本届世界杯黑马克罗地亚队这周杀进了决赛，将于周日与法国争夺大力神杯。而克罗地亚队最动人的故事无疑属于门将苏巴西奇和他“带在”身上的挚友库斯蒂奇。自从库斯蒂奇十年前英年早逝后，苏巴西奇就将印有好友照片的衣服穿在身上，并带他踏上每一场比赛的征程，以此纪念他的兄弟队友。即使是在击败俄罗斯队后，兴奋的苏巴西奇也因为兄弟不能在场而动容。
早在16强阶段，苏巴西奇就因为在点球大战中扑出3个点球而成为克罗地亚的英雄。而这场弥足珍贵的胜利也使得克罗地亚时隔20年后再度进入世界杯8强。
即便如此，苏巴西奇却从来没有忘记自己的老朋友库斯蒂奇。在击败丹麦队后，苏巴西奇没有独享荣誉，而是脱下球衣，向全世界展示和自己一起来到世界杯的库斯蒂奇。在2008年，库斯蒂奇在一场比赛中撞在了场边的水泥墙上，几天后因医治无效而去世。虽然无法亲自踏上世界杯的赛场，库斯蒂奇在苏巴西奇的帮助下终于圆了自己的世界杯梦。
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.
马上学：On everyone’s lips是个固定搭配，表示“广为谈论的”、“议论纷纷的”。
爱情裂痕？A妹如何回应未婚夫的争议玩笑？

A妹去年在英国曼彻斯特的演唱会曾遭遇恐袭， 22人丧生。而其未婚夫皮特•戴维森却开了不合时宜的玩笑。
皮特因《周六夜现场》脱口秀而出名，他在恐怖袭击后曾开玩笑称A妹一定明白了自己有多出名，因为连“小甜甜”布兰妮的演唱会都没有被恐袭过。出了这样的事儿，有粉丝表示，不理解A妹为什么仍和皮特在一起。近期，A妹公开对这件事做出了回应，称自己完全没有觉得这个笑话好笑。
有粉丝直接提出：“我尊重A妹的选择也真心希望她幸福，但是这样的玩笑对包括A妹在内的很多人都造成了伤害。依我看，这笑话完全不好笑，反而非常无礼。”
随后，A妹也在推特上回复表示，这件事确实让自己的内心感到很复杂。自己当然觉得这个玩笑并不好笑。但皮特一向都是用自己的幽默给大家带来积极的感受，他从来没有恶意。
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.
马上学：Malicious 指“恶意的，恶毒的”，近义词有spiteful, venomous等。
