UN general assembly calls on Security Council to admit Palestine as member

联合国大会通过决议，建议安理会重审巴勒斯坦入联申请

The UN General Assembly has enhanced Palestine's rights within the organisation and urged it be accepted as a member following heated debate. Palestine has had non-member observer state status since 2012, which allows some rights short of a full member. Membership can only be decided upon by the UN Security Council. Friday's vote can be seen as a gesture of support for the Palestinians by the full UN body, despite strident Israeli opposition.

经过激烈的辩论，联合国大会授予了巴勒斯坦在联合国内更多的权利，并敦促接纳巴勒斯坦为联合国会员国。

自2012年以来，巴勒斯坦一直享有非会员观察员国地位，拥有比正式会员少一些的权利。

只有联合国安理会才能决定巴勒斯坦的会员国资格。

尽管以色列强烈反对，但周五的投票可以被视为联合国全体成员对巴勒斯坦的支持。

Sphynx has lowest life expectancy of domestic cat breeds, research finds

斯芬克斯猫预期寿命排名垫底，缅因、伯曼猫最长寿

They may sound ancient but you should avoid a sphynx cat if you want a pet to grow old with, research suggests. Experts have revealed how many years on average domestic cats in the UK have left to live based on their current age. The results suggest burmese and birman cats have the highest life expectancy, with kittens in their first year of life expected to live for another 14.4 years. Unsurprisingly, the figures for remaining life expectancy decline as cats get older.

斯芬克斯猫听起来可能很古老，但研究表明，如果你想养一只宠物然后和它一起变老，就应该避免养斯芬克斯猫。

专家们透露了根据目前年龄，英国家猫平均还能活多少年。

结果表明，缅甸猫和伯曼猫的预期寿命最高，出生一年内的小猫预计还能再活14.4年。不出所料，随着猫咪年龄的增长，剩余预期寿命的数字也在下降。
