Mel Gibson's divorce nearly finalized

 　　BEIJING, June 29 (Xinhuanet) -- Actor Mel Gibson and his longtime wife, Robyn, have nearly finalized² their divorce, media reports said Wednesday.

　　Robyn’s attorney Laura Wasser told a judge the pair have resolved all their issues and are doing some "final polishes" on the paperwork.

　　Details of the settlement were not released.

　　A Los Angeles Superior Court judge is expected to finalize¹ the divorce in August, Wasser said.

　　Robyn Gibson filed for divorce in 2009 after 28 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable³ differences. The pair began separation days after Gibson's notorious 2006 arrest for drunk driving when he launched an anti-Semitic tirade⁴.（本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑）
