Title:Chinese star Yang Mi and HK actor Hawick Lau announce divorce, will raise their daughter together
中国明星杨幂和香港演员刘恺威宣布离婚，将一起抚养他们的女儿
语言点：
Hawick Lau 刘恺威，这是他的英文名，跟中文名谐音。
Announce 公开宣布，之前很多的一个词叫“官宣”就是用official announcement。
Raise sb. 抚养某人。Raise本来是指“举起”“抬起”，比如raise the lamp 把灯举高；还有“提高”“增加”之意=increase，比如raise the price 提高价格；raise作“抚养”之意的英文解释是：to look after your children and help them grow 抚养，养育。
After nearly five years of marriage, Chinese actress Yang Mi and Hong Kong actor Hawick Lau have issued a joint-statement announcing their divorce.
经过近五年的婚姻，中国女演员杨幂和香港演员刘恺威已发表联合声明，宣布离婚。
语言点：
Actress 女演员；actor男演员
Issue 发布
A joint-statement 联合声明，statement的动词是state. 补充：joint-effort 一起努力。
Divorce 离婚，这里是作名词；divorce也可以作动词，用法是divorce sb. 比如：He divorced his wife last year. 他去年与妻子离婚了。
The statement, which was released by Chinese entertainment and media company Jiaxing Media on Saturday evening (Dec 22), said that both parties signed the divorce papers earlier this year and have separated amicably.
中国娱乐媒体公司嘉行传媒于周六晚（12月22日）发布的声明说，双方今年早些时候签署了离婚文件，并已友好分开。
语言点：
Be released by...由...发布/宣布；所以到目前为止，我们就有几个词来表示“发布”：announce/ issue/ release
Media company 媒体公司
Both parties 双方；party也可以表示“党”。
Sign the divorce papers 千离婚协议/文件。
Separate amicably 和平分开/友好分开。Amicable是形容词，友好的，和睦的。比如，Their relationship hasn’t always been amicable. 他们的关系不是一直都很和睦。
The divorce was a decision made by both Yang, 32, and Lau, 44, after a discussion "conducted with mutual respect".
在“相互尊重”的讨论之后，离婚是由32岁的杨和44岁的刘某做出的决定。
语言点：
A decision made by....这里的made是作decision的后置定语，相当于一个定语从句，省略了that/which was,所以这句话完整来说是：a decision that/which was made by...
Discussion conducted with...也是同样的道理= discussion(that/which was)conducted with...
Mutual respect 相互尊重；mutual benefit共同利益；互惠互利。
Said the statement: "Although the two may no longer be living together as husband and wife, they will act as family members from now on to care for and raise their child."
声明说：“虽然两人可能不再是夫妻共同生活，但从现在起，他们将作为家庭成员照顾和抚养孩子。”
语言点：
Said the statement是倒装句，正常语序为the statement said...
No longer 不再
From now on 从现在开始
Care for 照顾=look after=take care of
"As friends, they also sincerely wish each other the best for the future."
“作为朋友，他们也真心希望对方在未来一切都好。”

Rumours of Yang and Lau's divorce had surfaced in recent years but the couple always denied the rumours.
杨和刘离婚的谣言近年来浮出水面，但这对夫妇总是否认谣言。
语言点：
Rumour = rumor 前面是英式；后面是美式。谣言。

Barely= almost not几乎不；比如： She was barely aware of his presence. 她几乎没有注意到他的存在。
Confirm 确认;证实

Promising 有前途的

后记：
离婚不可怕，最怕孩子受伤害，但是不健康的婚姻，勉强过日子，假装秀恩爱，孩子依然不幸福。
有的时候，放手，可能会带来短暂的痛苦；但只有经历过痛彻心扉，方只珍惜的意义，在未来，你才能拥有海阔天空，拥抱真正的幸福。
希望在未来，杨幂和刘恺威都能找到彼此心中的归宿，希望小糯米也能健康快乐成长。
2018年年末，读者朋友们，你们也一定要幸福！
