My comment:
(a) The interpreter married a guy named Abbas, an Arabic surname, which
literally means "stern, austere." Abbas was the name of an uncle (died 652)
of the Prophet Muhammad, the ancestor of the Abbasid dynasty.

Yes, she can be called a 外F女. But who cares?

(b) The last sentence of the report means a Bermuda worker called to inquire
price of Wii, in order to buy for Uighurs.
