Whatever floats your boat 随心所欲
今日小常识
It took less than three hours for the Titanic to sink after it hit an iceberg in 1912. More than 1,500 people died in the accident. For many, this event marks the passing of the Edwardian era of opulence (the first decade of the 20th century).
1912年泰坦尼克号撞上冰山后不到3小时就沉没了。1500多人在该事故中丧生。对许多人来说, 这个事件标志着繁荣的爱德华时代的消失(20世纪的前10年)。
