The British actor Alan Rickman has died of cancer at the age of 69. In movies, he won fame for his role as Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series and before that in films such as Truly Madly Deeply, Love Actually, Die Hard, Sense and Sensibility and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Rickman also won praise for his work on stage, in productions such as Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Private Lives and Cleopatra. There is something to remind us of his inimitable voice and comic timing. Taste of some of Alan Rickman’s work. Well, the American comedian, actor and writer Ruby Wax knew and worked with Alan Rickman for decades.

Many many years ago, maybe 30, I saw him in Edinburgh and I’d never seen anything like that. And so I was determined. I spent the rest of my life wooing him so he would be my closest friend. And then we lived together. He wasn’t my boyfriend. And no one ever had charisma like Alan.

So I knew ultimately he had to be famous because there’s been anything like it. And then he was a great comedian. I don’t know if people knew but I would sometimes give him lines and he could deliver far greater than any comedian I’d ever seen. But great actors really can do comedy, but I have never met anybody that could do it like him. Ruby Wax on Alan Rickman who’s died at the age of 69.

A person chief in Russia is accused of taking organized theft to a new high or perhaps a new low. If found guilty, Alexander Protopopov may end up in one of the jails he once oversaw.

Russian investigators believed that Alexander Protopopov committed highway robbery. Quite literally, they’ve accused him of stealing a road.

The road in question was 31 miles long when it was there in a remote part of northern Russia. Protopopov allegedly organized and oversaw the dismantling of the road and the 7000 reinforced concrete slabs of which it consisted. He then supposedly spent a year selling off the state property for personal profit. Mr. Protopopov is used to life behind bars though not as inmate. He is acting deputy chief of the Russian prison service. Investigators suspect he had accomplices .Under investigation too are a regional prison service official and a businessman. If Alexander Protopopov is found guilty of using his official position to misappropriate state property and to snitch those slabs, that could well be the end of the road.

英国演员艾伦·里克曼因癌症去世，终年69岁。因在《哈利波特》中饰演西弗勒斯·斯内普一角而名声大噪。此前还曾出演电影《一屋一鬼一情人》、《真爱至上》、《虎胆龙威》、《理智与情感》和《罗宾汉：盗贼王子》等。艾伦·里克曼在舞台上的表现也深受欢迎，作品有《危险关系》、《私生活》和《克莉奥帕特拉》等。来听一段音频，再次感受一下他独特的嗓音和抖包袱的节奏。欣赏完艾伦·里克曼的这些作品，我们来听一下曾和他一起工作几十年的美国喜剧演员兼作家茹比·韦克斯怎么说。

很多年以前，大概30年前，我在爱丁堡见到了他，从没见过像他一样的人，所以我做了一个决定。我用余生去追求他，让他成为我最亲密的朋友。然后我们就住在了一起，当然他不是我的男朋友。从来没有一个人像他一样有魅力。

所以我就知道，他最后肯定会出名的，因为他是世间绝无仅有。后来他就成了非常棒的喜剧演员。不晓得其他人知不知道，我有时候会给他一些台词，他演绎得比我见过的所有喜剧演员都好得多。好演员固然会演喜剧，但我从来没见过像他一样做得好的。以上就是茹比·韦克斯对69岁去世的艾伦·里克曼的评价。

俄罗斯一官员被指控创造了团伙盗窃的新高，或者也可以说是新低。如果认定有罪，亚历山大·普罗托波波夫可能会住进自己以前负责管理的一所监狱。

俄罗斯调查者认为亚历山大·普罗托波波夫犯了公路盗窃罪。确切地说，他们指控此人偷走了一条公路。

这条公路总长31英里，位于俄罗斯北部一偏远区域。据称，普罗托波波夫负责组织这条公路的拆除工作，同时监管组成这条公路的7000块钢筋棍凝土板。他可能花了一年时间为一己私利卖掉了这些国有财产。普罗托波波夫对铁窗里的生活非常熟悉，但并不是作为犯人才熟悉。他是俄罗斯监狱系统的代理副官。调查人员怀疑他有同伙。同时接受调查的还有地方监狱系统的一名官员和一个商人。如果亚历山大·普罗托波波夫滥用职权盗取国有财产、偷走混凝土板的罪名成立，那么他也就走到了穷途末路。
