‘A blessing came my way’: EXO's Chen confirms he is getting married to ‘pregnant’ fiancée
Metro
EXO star Chen has announced he is getting married – and his fiancée is reportedly pregnant.
The 27-year-old confirmed the happy news with a handwritten letter after SM Entertainment told fans that Chen had met a ‘non-celebrity’ that he had fallen in love with.
The agency's statement read: "Chen has met someone precious to him and will be getting married. The bride is a non-celebrity, and the wedding will be held privately with only their families in attendance."
"To respect their families' opinions, the wedding and everything related to it will be held privately, so we ask fans and reporters for their kind understanding."
"Chen will continue to work hard as an artist. We ask you to send Chen lots of blessings and messages of celebration."
And the Love Shot singer shared an adorable letter in which he told fans that he found a ‘blessing’ in the girl he wants to ‘spend the rest of my life with’.
手写信英文译文：
‘Hello, this is Chen. I am writing this because I have something to tell our fans. I don't know how to start this, and I'm very nervous. Although these words are not enough, I'm writing this letter because I want to honestly tell our fans, who gave us so much love, first.
‘I have a girlfriend I want to spend the rest of my life with. I was worried and concerned about the situations that would arise as a result of this decision, but I had been discussing with the agency and our members because I wanted to announce the news at least a little bit earlier so I wouldn't surprise you with the sudden news.
‘Then, a blessing came my way. I am also taken aback, as I cannot do what I had planned with the agency and members, but this blessing has given me more strength.
‘I couldn't lose any more time thinking about when or how I should announce this, so I mustered up my courage.

Windows 7 official ends this week: what you need to do
Slashgear
Nothing lasts forever, whether good or bad. By Tuesday, one of Microsoft's less controversial Windows releases will finally be put to rest, for better or worse. Windows 7 support for everyone who didn’t buy an extended support package (only available to enterprise customers) will officially end on Tuesday, January 14. And, of course, that means that anyone who wants to continue getting important security fixes and remain on the Windows platform will have to move to Windows 10 sooner rather than later.
release
表示“发行物”，英文解释为“A new release is a new CD, DVD, or movie that has just become available for people to buy or see.”举个🌰：
Of the new releases that are out there now, which do you think are really good?
现在外面新的发行物中，你觉得哪些真正好呢？
package
1）作名词，表示“软件包”，英文解释为“a set of related programs for a particulartype of task, sold and used as a single unit”举个🌰：
The system came with a database software package.
本系统配有数据库软件包。
2）作动词，表示“包装（产品）”，英文解释为“When a product is packaged, it is putinto containers to be sold.”举个🌰：
The beans are then ground and packaged for sale as ground coffee.
咖啡豆接着被磨碎、包装，以研磨咖啡销售。
3）作动词，表示“（为使某物吸引人而）包装”，英文解释为“If something is packaged in aparticular way, it is presented or advertised in that way in order to make itseem attractive or interesting.”举个🌰：
A city is like any product, it has to be packaged properly to be attractive to the consumer.
一座城市就像任何产品一样，需要适当地加以包装来吸引消费者。
You can still keep using your Windows 7 computer, naturally, as that will continue working up to the end of time. You just won't be getting any updates containing fixes to bugs or even important security patches, which practically means all Windows 7 computers starting Wednesday will be left exposed to all new potential exploits.
patch
表示“（用来完善已有程序的）程序补丁”，英文解释为“a small computer program that can be added to an existing program in order to make the existing program work as it should”举个🌰：
I downloaded a patch from their website.
我从他们的网站上下载了一个程序补丁。
You have three paths moving forward and if you’re a business that absolutely needs to remain on Windows 7 for as long as possible, there’s an option to buy your way through extended support. It’s expensive, of course, and you pay per device per year. And it won't last long either, just until you're made enough preparations to finally make the jump in 2023.
Not everyone fancies moving up to Windows 10 but the risk of an unprotected Windows outweighs that. Fortunately, there's still a way to get Windows 10 for free but you do have to work a bit for it. You'll need to go to Microsoft's Downloads page, get the Windows 10 installer, and create an installation media to upgrade your PC to Windows 10.
outweigh
1）表示“（在重要性或意义上）超过”，英文解释为“If one thing outweighs another, the first thing is of greater importance, benefit, or significance than the second thing.”举个🌰：
The advantages of this deal largely outweigh the disadvantages.
这笔交易的利远大于弊。
2）表示“比（某人）重”，英文解释为“If you outweigh someone, you are heavier than them.”举个🌰：
He outweighed her by about 20 kilograms.
他比她重约20千克。
Some, however, may have been frightened off Windows 10 with all the news of problematic updates or have a passionate hatred for the direction that Microsoft has taken the operating system. Windows 7's retirement might be an opportunity for such users to venture outside of the Windows world and try out macOS or, if they're really adventurous enough, even Linux.
frighten...off
1）表示“把…吓走（或吓跑）”，英文解释为“to make a person or an animal go away by making them feel afraid”举个🌰：
He threatened the intruders with a gun and frightened them off.
他用枪威胁闯入者，把他们吓跑了。
2）表示“把…吓得不敢（做某事）”，英文解释为“to make sb afraid or nervous so that they no longer want to do sth”举个🌰：
The high prices have frightened off many customers.
高价使许多顾客却步。

People are afraid to venture out for fear of sniper attacks.
人们不敢冒险外出，害怕狙击手的袭击。

He enjoyed little success when he ventured into business.
他在冒险涉足生意时很少成功。
3）表示“试探地提出（问题或观点）”，英文解释为“If you venture a question or statement, you say it in an uncertain way because you are afraid it might be stupid or wrong.”举个🌰：
He ventured that plants draw part of their nourishment from the air.
他试探着提出了植物从空气中吸取它们的部分养分的观点。
