倒数第二次恋爱

A |     Canberra, Oct 11 (UNI) Two Australian men have been charged with bribing Sri Lankan officials to secure infrastructure contracts worth millions of dollars.
Australian police arrested the pair last month after a decade-long investigation spanning several countries, BBC reported.
The men, aged 67 and 71, worked for a company which has been accused of misconduct in South Asian countries, it said.
They are yet to respond to the charges and will face court.
The Australian Federal Police (AFP) say the men arranged bribes of more than A$304,000 ($190,000) to government officials between 2009 and 2016.
The bribes were allegedly made in the pursuit of two Sri Lankan projects -- which police did not name -- worth A$14m.
The charges follow an investigation into SMEC International Pty Ltd, an Australian-based engineering firm, which involved authorities from the US, Canada, India and elsewhere, the BBC reported.
More arrests and charges are possible, the AFP said.
"Corruption undermines fair competition and can have disastrous consequences for developing economies, global anti-poverty and development efforts," Detective Supt Helen Schneider said.
Originally known as the Snowy Mountains Engineering Corp, SMEC was formed in 1949 to build an iconic Australian infrastructure project. It has since grown to employ 5,400 staff in many countries.
In 2017, the World Bank temporarily barred SMEC and four subsidiaries in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka from bidding for any of its contracts, the report said.
The World Bank said it had discovered evidence linking the company to suspected "inappropriate payments" in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
At the time, a spokesperson for SMEC said the allegations did not relate to any Australian projects, and that the company would continue to strengthen its corporate integrity compliance programmes.
Protests erupted in Sri Lanka this year over corruption allegations and the country's worst economic crisis in history, it said.

B |     在石家庄，有三家不起眼的小店，坚持着一件让人看不懂的事——免费请陌生人吃饭，进门管饱，无限续餐。有人说他们作秀，有人说他们另有所图。质疑声不断，可他们也没停，一请就是好几年。一家不限量的爱心素食面馆石家庄市新华区一家不起眼的小店，店内没有醒目的价目展板，只简单标注素面十元一碗，管饱不限量。店内小黑板写着：残疾人免费，65岁以上老人、环卫工人半价。墙上还不定时张贴“今日免费”，半价和免费餐同样不限量。袁英莲做这件事，已近七年。

C | 说起免费缘由，面馆老板袁英莲解释，当年给父亲端一碗面，还没端到桌上，父亲倒地，再也没起来。开这家店，是为了弥补父亲没吃上最后一碗面的遗憾。而提供免费餐，是因为自己曾受过太多帮助，如今想把这份温暖再传递给更多有需要的人。面馆常年亏损，袁英莲靠自己的刺绣生意往里贴钱，每月最多贴六七千元。但善意也包围着她：有人无偿送木耳，有人常年捐陈醋，常来的食客把自家种的菜往店里送。店里帮忙的多是义工，有个小伙子每天凌晨3点半起床擀面，坚持了许久，就为“让这家店开得久一点”。一家“如遇困难，免费吃面”的小馆“如果你在石家庄遇到困难，来小店说‘来一份腌肉面’，吃完直接走，不必客气。”庄北灵寿腌肉面馆墙上，这张海报挂了近7年。老板高志江“因为自己淋过雨，也想为别人撑把伞”。最困难时，他手里只剩两块五，要熬三天。2014年开店，2019年启动“免费吃面”。有人问怕不怕恶意蹭饭？他坦然道：“但行好事，莫问前程。一碗面没什么大不了的。”如今，4家直营店、4家加盟店、17家学员店都在做“免费吃面”的公益活动。

D | 一家送出28万份早餐的早餐店每天凌晨四点，石家庄市长安区众爱餐厅灯火通明。志愿者削土豆、熬米粥，红色马甲穿梭在热气中。这家公益餐厅从2021年6月开始，专为环卫工人、快递小哥、独居老人提供免费早餐，全年无休。五年来，餐厅从1家发展到2家，累计送出超过28万份免费早餐。发起人贾军亮说：“只要有需要，推门进来就能吃顿热饭。”坚持靠的是“众爱”——参与志愿服务的人数从最初的10人增长到9000余人。环卫工人吃完早餐，常自发拿起扫帚帮忙收拾。发起人吕晓燕感慨：“爱从来都是双向奔赴的，我们温暖了他们，他们也温暖着我们。”这三家店的故事都不惊天动地，却让人与人之间的暖意被更多人看见。袁英莲用十年念想守一家小店，高志江把曾经经历的苦化作“说一声就能免费吃”的承诺；众爱餐厅用五年多的坚持，送出着“有人惦记”的温暖。他们为什么坚持？答案很简单：不是作秀，是心疼；不是另有所图，是见不得别人“受伤”。

E | 没有豪言壮语，只有日复一日、年复一年。而这样的故事不只发生在石家庄。北京、天津、上海、成都、银川……越来越多的餐馆加入了“爱心餐”的行列。从乡村的爱心食堂，到街角的免费早餐铺，善意从来不是一座城市的独白，而是一场没有终点的接力。一份免费餐或许微不足道，但足以让一个疲惫的人相信，这人间值得。总监制：王丽平策 划：张 霰 耿 佳文 案：耿 佳 许艳艳拍 摄：姚 杰 郭晶璇 康紫祎 宋霈雯制 作：郭晶璇。
