Tim explores how the world's been discussing the issue of China's electric vehicle dominance. How fair is the reporting, and what does the data tell us about how effective the EU's tariffs will be? The EU move seems less driven by ideology, while the US tariffs seem designed to send a specific signal, one that doesn't have much to do with preventing catastrophic climate change, or even protecting industry.Timothy Pope has been a journalist for more than 15 years, and has spent the last decade in China's financial capital, Shanghai.

NEWS ON 01/17CHINESE PREMIER LI QIANG TALKS ECONOMY AND AI AT DAVOS 2024李强在达沃斯世界经济论坛发表特别致辞-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦------------CHINESE PREMIER LI QIANG TALKS ECONOMY AND AI AT DAVOS 2024李强在达沃斯世界经济论坛发表特别致辞Hi - I'm Tim Pope. This is China Buzzwords. Continuing our look at the 2024 World Economic Forum in Davos - which attracts the rich and powerful from around the world.嗨，我是蒂姆·波普。这里是中国流行语。继续和我们一起关注2024年达沃斯世界经济论坛，该论坛吸引了来自世界各地的有钱有势的人。China's Premier Li Qiang is there this year leading a pretty big delegation. He's the most high profile Chinese leader to visit the WEF since President Xi Jinping went in 2017. And a lot of people are keen to talk to and hear from Li Qiang this year because China's economic recovery is on the ropes, and also because China is seen as key to helping facilitate an end to the current major conflicts.中国总理李强今年率领了庞大的代表团出席了会议。今年，很多人都渴望与李强交谈并听取他的意见，因为中国的经济复苏面临挑战，也因为中国被视为帮助结束当前重大冲突的关键。In his speech to the forum today, Li touched on the Chinese economy, saying GDP growth for 2023 is expected to be 5.2 percent -- a little above the government's target. And he got a little poetic.在今天的论坛演讲中，李强谈到了中国经济，他说2023年的国内生产总值增长率预计为5.2%，略高于政府的目标。他有些诗意。Li Qiang, Chinese Premier 中国总理李强A European friend once told me that to appreciate the grandeur of the Alps, one must broaden their perspective and look into the distance. Similarly, understanding the Chinese economy requires a panoramic view and in-depth observation. Only by opening up a comprehensive perspective can one achieve objectivity, comprehend the entirety and the overall picture, and truly understand the current state and long-term trends of the Chinese economy.阿尔卑斯山群峰巍峨，连绵不绝。有欧洲朋友告诉我，想要领略阿尔卑斯山雄浑壮阔之美，一定要把视野放宽、把目光投远一些。看待中国经济也同样如此，只有打开视野的纵深，进行全景式观察，才能做到客观和全面，看到整体和全貌，真正了解中国经济的当下之形与长远之势。China's also going to be key to determining global attitudes to AI governance. Making sure AI is a force for good. Li said the technology should not be used to contain countries; and that it's important to make sure it's being used ethically. 中国也将成为决定全球对人工智能治理态度的关键。确保人工智能是一股向善的力量。李强说，这项技术不应该被用来遏制国家；确保它被合乎道德地使用是很重要的。Li Qiang, Chinese Premier 中国总理李强The World AI Conference has set up two expert committees, one is focusing on the strategic planning, and the other is for AI ethics, which means that on the one hand, it is important to focus on development, and on the other hand, it is important to focus on governance, and it is necessary to use it well, but also to manage it well.世界人工智能大会还成立了两个专家委员会，一个是战略规划专家委员会，另外一个就是人工智能伦理专家委员会，也就是说一边抓发展，另外一边就是要抓治理，既要用好它，更要管好它。And Li issued an open invitation to the Davos participants to come to Shanghai's World AI Conference in July, to see how China does things.李强还向达沃斯论坛的与会者发出公开邀请，邀请他们参加7月在上海举行的世界人工智能大会，看看中国在做些什么。And the stakes for getting AI governance right are high. The International Monetary Fund released a report on Tuesday - timed to coincide with Davos. It concludes that 40 percent of jobs around the world will be impacted by AI ... in some cases jobs will change, but some jobs will be entirely replaced. Emerging markets low-income economies meanwhile, will struggle to reap the benefits of the new technology, potentially widening the global equality gap.人工智能治理的正确性事关重大。国际货币基金组织周二发布了一份报告，时间恰逢达沃斯。它得出的结论是，全球40%的工作岗位将受到人工智能的影响。在某些情况下，工作岗位会发生变化，但有些工作岗位会被完全取代。与此同时，新兴市场作为低收入经济体，将难以从新技术中获益，这可能会扩大全球平等差距。We'll be continuing our coverage of the World Economic Forum for the rest of the week. My colleagues in Davos have got some great interviews and perspectives on the ground in snowy Switzerland - so make sure you check those out too. See you next time.本周，我们将继续报道世界经济论坛。参与达沃斯的同事们在白雪皑皑的瑞士也有很棒的采访和观点，请一定要看看。下次见。#热词加油站Buzzword 流行语Delegation 代表团Ethic 伦理Coverage 报道订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大师访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

NEWS ON 01/15DAVOS: China's Premier to deliver aspecial address as world leaders and big business seek to rebuild trust破解时代之问 引领发展之路——习近平主席在达沃斯论坛的演讲和致辞深刻启迪世界-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------DAVOS: China's Premier to deliver aspecial address as world leaders and big business seek to rebuild trust破解时代之问 引领发展之路——习近平主席在达沃斯论坛的演讲和致辞深刻启迪世界Hi andwelcome to another China Buzzwords - I'm Timothy Pope.嗨，欢迎收看China Buzzwords，我是Timothy PopeThe 54thWorld Economic Forum is getting under way in the luxurious Swiss ski resort ofDavos. And we're going to bring you a couple of videos this week examining thisannual event.第 54 届世界经济论坛正在瑞士滑雪胜地达沃斯举行。本周，我们将为您带来几段视频，探讨这一年度盛事。The themeof this year's WEF is 'Rebuilding Trust'. It's an interesting theme since manyof those attending are the ones whose trust rating among ordinary people hasplunged so sharply in recent years. Trust in leaders who have presided overslowing global growth. Trust in billionaires perceived as exploiting andexpanding global inequality. Trust that both these groups can work together tomake the future better for everyone.今年世界经济论坛的主题是 "重建信任"。这是个有趣的主题，因为许多与会者都是近年来在民众中信任度急剧下降的人，那些导致全球经济增长放缓的领导人的信任，被认为利用和扩大全球不平等的亿万富翁的信任。相信他们能够携手合作，为每个人创造更美好的未来。Buildingthat kind of trust is a tall order.建立这种信任是一项艰巨的任务。Securingeconomic growth has always been one of the WEF's aims, but it says it'slaunching a campaign to balance growth with social and environmental prioritiestoo. One of the forum's recent studies of 107 global economies found that mostof them are not growing in socially inclusive or environmentally sustainableways. It's also identified misinformation and disinformation【虚假信息】as the most severe global risk in the shortterm as it's been the most significant factor in the erosion of public trust.确保经济增长一直是世界经济论坛的目标之一，不过该论坛也表示，它正在发起一场运动，以平衡经济增长与社会和环境优先事项之间的关系。世界经济论坛最近对全球107个经济体进行的一项研究发现，大多数经济体并没有以社会包容或环境可持续的方式实现增长。该论坛还将错误信息和虚假信息确定为短期内最严重的全球风险，因为这是导致公众信任度下降的最重要因素。The WEF-- the people at the top of global society -- seems to be acknowledging thatthey need to rebuild the public's trust that they're still a force willing andcapable of making the world a better place.世界经济论坛--全球社会的顶尖人士--似乎承认，他们需要重建公众对他们的信任，相信他们仍然是愿意并有能力让世界变得更美好的力量。Anotherthing that's going to be up for plenty of discussion is economic and monetarypolicy. Financial markets remain completely obsessed with interest rates, andwhen major central banks like the US Fed and the ECB might start to bring themdown. Many consider this a key step towards shifting back to global growth.另一个将引起广泛讨论的问题是经济和货币政策。金融市场仍然完全沉迷于利率，以及美国联邦储备委员会和欧洲央行等主要央行何时可能开始降低利率，许多人认为这是转向全球增长的关键一步。Therewill also be sideline meetings trying to deal with issues ranging from the conflicts in Gazaand Ukraine. With high-level delegations【代表团】 from China, the United States, Ukraine, Israel and several MiddleEastern countries, discussions on these wars are going to loom large over thewhole forum.此外，还将举行会外会议，试图解决加沙和乌克兰冲突等问题。来自中国、美国、乌克兰、以色列和几个中东国家的高级代表团将出席会议，有关这些战争的讨论将成为整个论坛的重中之重。But noteverything that happens at Davos is high-minded and idealistic. There are fancydinners and lavish【奢华的】parties that most people can't getinto. And a lot of people are there to make money and do deals. Either fortheir company or their country. Government representatives want to attractinvestment, businesses want opportunities to grow and boost their profits; andwe will see many deals inked this week.但是，达沃斯论坛上并非都是高谈阔论和理想主义。这里有大多数人进不去的豪华晚宴和奢华派对。很多人在那里是为了赚钱和做交易。要么是为了自己的公司，要么是为了自己的国家。政府代表希望吸引投资，企业希望获得增长和提高利润的机会；因此，本周我们将看到许多交易签约。Staytuned as the World Economic Forum continues this week. We'll break down andexplain it for you here, and do check out coverage by other SMG Internationalreporters who are in Davos for the conference - they're going to have somegreat stories and interviews for you too.世界经济论坛本周将继续举行，敬请关注。我们将在这里为您进行分析和解释，同时请关注在达沃斯参加会议的其他SMG国际记者的报道--他们也将为您提供精彩的报道和采访。#热词加油站disinformation /ˌdɪs.ɪn.fəˈmeɪ.ʃən/【虚假信息】delegations /ˌdel.ɪˈɡeɪ.ʃən/【代表团】lavish /ˈlæv.ɪʃ/【奢华的】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

NEWS ON 01/10BYD BECOMES TOP SELLING EV MAKER, TAKING TESLA'S CROWN比亚迪夺得全球新能源车销冠-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------BYD BECOMES TOP SELLING EV MAKER, TAKING TESLA'S CROWN比亚迪夺得全球新能源车销冠BYD has claimed the title of World's Best-Selling EV maker in a hard-fought battle with Tesla.比亚迪在与特斯拉的激烈竞争中夺得了全球最畅销电动汽车制造商的称号。Now that 2023 results are in for both companies we can see just how fierce a race it was. Both companies beat analyst estimates for the numbers of EVs they sold in the final three months of last year, and both benefitted from cutting prices on their vehicles in a bid to grab market share.如今，两家公司2023年的业绩已经出炉，我们可以看到这场竞争有多么激烈。去年最后三个月，两家公司的电动汽车销量都超过了分析师的预期，而且两家公司都通过降低汽车价格来抢占市场份额。Let's look at the numbers first. BYD sold a little over 3 million vehicles last year -- mostly in China. More than half were pure electric, and the rest were plug-in hybrid EVs. That puts annual sales up by 62 percent compared to 2022.我们先来看看数据。比亚迪去年的汽车销量略高于300万辆，主要集中在中国。其中一半以上为纯电动汽车，其余为插电式混合动力电动汽车。与2022年相比，年销量增长了62%。Tesla sold 1.8 million vehicles -- falling just short of CEO Elon Musk's target of 2 million, but still beating analyst estimates.特斯拉售出了180万辆汽车--略低于首席执行官埃隆-马斯克的200万辆目标，但仍超过了分析师的预期。And in the most recent quarter? ... Tesla delivered 484,507 pure EVs between October and December, while BYD sold 526,409. 最近一个季度呢？…特斯拉在10月至12月间交付了484,507辆纯电动汽车，而比亚迪则售出了526,409辆。So how did BYD overtake Tesla before the year-end finish line?那么，比亚迪是如何在年底前超越特斯拉的呢？Partly it's the price war which has been going on in the EV sector -- particularly here in China -- for the last 12 months. Tesla started it last January by slashing【大量削减】prices on several models and every other automaker followed suit.部分原因是过去12个月电动车行业，尤其在中国的价格战。去年1月，特斯拉率先对多款车型降价，其他汽车制造商纷纷效仿。But it quickly became obvious that Tesla wasn't going to win that price war. Even with generous discounts, its cars are just more expensive. Each model is a premium product. And while BYD has high-end models of its own, it also has cheaper ones. And with most of the world dealing with high interest rates, a cheaper car, which requires a smaller loan from the bank, can look at lot more attractive. And some analysts have said that tax credits in the US may have pushed some Tesla-buyers to get their cars in 2023 instead of 2024.但很快，特斯拉显然无法赢得这场价格战。即使有丰厚的折扣，特斯拉汽车的价格还是更贵。每款车型都是高端产品。比亚迪虽然也有自己的高端车型，但它有更便宜的车型。在全球大多数国家都面临高利率的情况下，一辆需要向银行申请较少贷款的廉价汽车看起来更有吸引力。一些分析师表示，美国的税收减免政策可能促使一些特斯拉买家在2023年而非2024年购买汽车。BYD is also just a generally better recognised brand these days. Tesla might still be a by-word for pure electric cars, but all over the world, more and more BYDs are popping up on the roads. For big chunks of last year BYD models were the best-selling EVs in Thailand, Israel, New Zealand and Singapore. During a trip back to Australia recently, I was shocked when my family started discussing the brand over Christmas dinner.比亚迪如今也是知名度普遍较高的品牌。特斯拉可能仍然是纯电动汽车的代名词，但在世界各地，越来越多的比亚迪汽车出现在道路上。去年，在泰国、以色列、新西兰和新加坡，比亚迪的大部分车型都是最畅销的电动汽车。最近一次回澳大利亚，当我的家人在圣诞节晚餐上讨论这个品牌时，我感到非常震惊。That aside, BYD's position on top of the EV market right now is still due to sales here in China. Roughly 90 percent of its cars are made and sold here where its market share jumped from 21 to 27 percent this year. According to the China Passenger Car Association, Tesla's market share in China is 12 percent.撇开这一点不谈，比亚迪目前在电动车市场上的领先地位仍然要归功于中国国内的销量。比亚迪约90%的汽车都在中国生产和销售，今年的市场份额从21%跃升至27%。根据中国汽车协会的数据，特斯拉在中国的市场份额为12%。The two also have very different sales strategies. BYD is quite traditional: selling through dealerships【经销公司】. In fact BYD has said it's going to be paying out a total of 2 billion yuan in bonuses to Chinese dealerships this year for meeting their sales targets.两者的销售策略也大相径庭。比亚迪非常传统：通过经销商销售。比亚迪已经表示，今年将向完成销售目标的中国经销商支付总计20亿元人民币的奖金。Tesla does things differently. If you want to buy one, you can only buy it from Tesla. And their staff seem to do a much better job of selling the product. According to data from China Merchants Bank, in China, Tesla sells more than twice as many cars per store as BYD does. BYD just has considerably more stores.特斯拉则不同。如果你想买特斯拉，只能从专卖店购买。而且他们的员工似乎在销售产品方面做得更好。根据招商银行的数据，在中国，特斯拉每家店的汽车销量是比亚迪的两倍多。比亚迪只是拥有更多的门店。BYD's China-centered dominance【主导地位】could start to shift once the company gets planned European factories up and running. There's also the risk the EU could raise the currently low tariffs on imported Chinese EVs. 一旦比亚迪计划在欧洲建厂并投入运营，该公司以中国为中心的主导地位可能会开始转变。欧盟也有可能提高目前对进口中国电动车的低关税。But the electric vehicle industry is still a growing one -- one in which both BYD and Tesla have left traditional automakers far behind......但电动汽车行业仍在不断发展壮大，比亚迪和特斯拉已经把传统汽车制造商远远甩在了后面......Oh.. and in case you're wondering, there's one number that Tesla didn't give us yet... sales numbers for its new Cybertruck. The design of this truck might politely be described as "unique" ... so the silence on those sales numbers probably tells us all we need to know.哦......如果你想知道，其实特斯拉还有一个数据没有告诉我们......那就是其新型车Cybertruck 的销售数据。这款卡车的设计可以不客气地形容为 "独一无二"......而对于销售数据的沉默可能已经告诉了我们一切。#热词加油站 slash /slæʃ/【大量削减】dealerships /ˈdiː.lə.ʃɪp/【经销公司】dominance /ˈdɒm.ɪ.nəns/【主导地位】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Chinese Mainland markets continued to trade lower asinvestors wait for sentiment to recover. But even the better looking data wesaw this week for China's services sector wasn't enough to get things moving.The Shanghai Composite Index was down 0.9 percent on Friday and theShenzhen Component was off more than 1 percent.新年的第一个交易周并不太好。中国大陆股市继续走低，投资者等待市场情绪回升。但即使我们本周看到的中国服务业的数据看起来更好，也不足以推动事态发展。上周五，上证综指下跌0.9%，深证成分股跌幅超过1%。The vast bulk of sectors were downtoday led by losses for tech, healthcare and industrials; while financialstocks just about broke even. 今天绝大多数板块下跌，科技、医疗保健和工业板块领跌；而金融股几乎实现盈亏平衡。Investors are also still waiting to see anyserious payoff from the launch of the new CSI A50 index on Tuesday. This is asmaller, more select index of blue chip stocks than the CSI 300, but it's alsofar more diverse in terms of the kinds of sectors it covers. And whilethere's been strong early interest from funds looking to set up ETFs trackingthe A50, that's going to take a while to translate into gains, and the index isending its maiden week down more than 3 percent.投资者仍在等待周二推出的新中证A50指数带来的任何重大回报。与沪深300相比，这是一个规模更小、更具选择性的蓝筹股指数，但它所涵盖的行业种类也要多样化得多。尽管希望建立跟踪A50的ETF的基金早期有强烈的兴趣，但这需要一段时间才能转化为收益，该指数在首周结束时下跌了3%以上。There was a bit of gloom on other regionalmarkets today now that investors feel sharp and quick US Fed rate cuts are lesslikely. That obsession with when rate cuts will begin also makes the release ofUS jobs data tonight a big event for the markets. But on the whole, fewertraders now think there'll be cuts by March, and that dented growth stocksaround the region. The Hang Seng was 0.7 percent lower at the close.今天，其他地区市场出现了一些悲观情绪，因为投资者认为美联储大幅快速降息的可能性较小。对何时开始降息的痴迷也使今晚美国就业数据的发布成为市场的一件大事。但总的来说，现在认为到3月会减产的交易员越来越少，这削弱了该地区的增长股。恒生指数收盘时下跌0.7%。Alibaba, Lenovo, chip maker SMIC ... alltraded down in Hong Kong. Energy stocks provided a little relief as oil pricesclimbed, with CNOOC and PetroChina among the leading gainers.阿里巴巴、联想、芯片制造商中芯国际。。。香港股市全部下跌。随着油价攀升，能源股略有缓解，中海油和中石油涨幅居前。Japan provided a bit of a contrast today asthe Nikkei 225 rose a quarter of one percent. That was due almost entirely to aweaker yen boosting exporter stocks. As usual that means gains forJapanese automakers - Toyota rose 2.5 percent, but there were gains for banksand brokerages as well.今天，日本日经225指数上涨了四分之一，形成了鲜明对比。这几乎完全是由于日元走弱提振了出口股。和往常一样，这意味着日本汽车制造商的涨幅——丰田上涨了2.5%，但银行和券商也有所上涨。So at the end of the first week of 2024,the new year still feels much like the old one.因此，在2024年的第一周结束时，新的一年感觉仍然很像旧的一年。#热词加油站Index 指数Sector 部门Diverse 多种多样的Exporter 出口商订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大师访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

CHINA’S NEW STOCK INDEX CAUSES ETF EXCITEMENT中国新股指数引发ETF热议-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦------------CHINA’S NEW STOCK INDEX CAUSES ETF EXCITEMENT中国新股指数引发ETF热议The Shanghai Composite Index was one of the few Asian markets to inch higher today as a general sense of gloom persists among equity investors. It managed to climb a bit less than a fifth of one percent, while the Shenzhen Component declined three quarters of a percent. Investors are still waiting for signs of a solid economic recovery, according to market watchers.由于股票投资者普遍感到悲观，上海综合指数是今天为数不多的小幅上涨的亚洲市场之一。它设法攀升了不到1%的五分之一，而深圳板块下跌了四分之三。市场观察人士表示，投资者仍在等待经济稳步复苏的迹象。One thing getting a lot of interest was the new index launched yesterday for Chinese A-shares -- the CSI A50 Index. This tracks some of the most well-known companies on the mainland markets, but unlike the CSI 300, doesn't include so many from traditional industries. It's being billed as better representing the modern Chinese economy, and the sectors the government wants to focus on. We have some expected big names on the index including China's most expensive stock - the liquor maker Kweichow Moutai. There's also the electric vehicle battery maker CATL, security system maker Hikvision, Ping'An Insurance, and the drug maker Wuxi Apptec. 有一件事引起了很多人的兴趣，那就是昨天为中国a股推出的新指数——中证A50指数。这追踪了大陆市场上一些最知名的公司，但与沪深300不同的是，它不包括那么多传统行业的公司。它被宣传为更能代表现代中国经济，以及政府希望关注的行业。我们预计该指数上会有一些大人物，包括中国最昂贵的股票——白酒制造商贵州茅台。还有电动汽车电池制造商CATL、安全系统制造商海康威视、平安保险和药品制造商无锡药明康德。According to the regulators, they've received applications from at least seven mutual funds wanting to create ETFs tracking the A50 in the first 24 hours after its launch.... the A50 itself closed today a little lower however.据监管机构称，他们已经收到了至少七家共同基金的申请，希望在A50推出后的前24小时内创建跟踪其的ETF… 然而，A50今天收盘时略有下跌。Automaker BYD -- also on the A50 by the way -- edged higher after being confirmed as the top selling maker of pure electric vehicles in the world - knocking Tesla off its pedestal. BYD shares rose a third of one percent, and financial journal Yicai has reported the company is planning big cash bonuses to Chinese car dealerships for hitting sales targets... bonuses that are expected to total 2 billion yuan.汽车制造商比亚迪（BYD）——顺便说一句，也在A50上——在被确认为世界上最畅销的纯电动汽车制造商后小幅走高，将特斯拉（Tesla）推下了巅峰。比亚迪股价上涨了三分之一，金融杂志《第一财经》报道称，该公司正计划向达到销售目标的中国汽车经销商发放巨额现金奖金。。。奖金总额预计为20亿元。More broadly, Asian stock markets were pretty grim on Wednesday as hopes faded of deep and early cuts to interest rates by the US Federal Reserve. The markets are waiting on both the latest Fed minutes and US jobs data. But that prompted a slide in tech stocks, which left the Hang Seng 0.9 percent lower. PC maker Lenovo was down 4.5 percent.更广泛地说，亚洲股市周三相当严峻，因为对美联储提前大幅降息的希望消退。市场正在等待美联储最新会议纪要和美国就业数据。但这促使科技股下跌，导致恒生指数下跌0.9%。个人电脑制造商联想股价下跌4.5%。But there was some reprieve for Chinese video game stocks after reported personnel changes at the Chinese gaming regulator. New proposed rules designed to reduce spending on video games had sent the sector into a bit of a spin, but gaming giant Tencent rose 1.3 percent while rival Netease was up almost 1 percent.但在中国游戏监管机构公布人事变动后，中国电子游戏股出现了一些喘息之机。旨在减少电子游戏支出的新规则使该行业出现了一些混乱，但游戏巨头腾讯上涨了1.3%，而竞争对手网易上涨了近1%。The tech-inspired market slide today was felt heavily in South Korea too, where the KOSPI 200 shed 2.6 percent -- the biggest fall for that index since late October. Shares in Samsung Electronic were down 3.3 percent.韩国股市今天也感受到了科技股的暴跌，韩国综合股价指数200下跌2.6%，这是该指数自10月下旬以来的最大跌幅。三星电子股价下跌3.3%。Japanese markets will be back from their new year holiday tomorrow.日本股市明天将结束新年假期。#热词加油站ComponentVehicleSlideElectronic订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大师访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

The Shanghai Composite below 3,000 points, and the Shenzhen Component below 10 thousand. These are levels the markets have been fighting to maintain in the second half of the year, when China’s post-covid economic recovery started showing signs of being a long, drawn out process. The CSI 300, which tracks China’s blue chip stocks, was one of the worst performing global indexes this year, shedding【去除】11.4 percent over the course of 2023.沪深两市的主要指数在年底都低于市场关键价。沪综指低于3000点，深成指低于万点。今年下半年，市场一直在努力维持这些水平，当时中国的后伏特经济复苏开始显现出漫长、拖沓的迹象。追踪中国蓝筹股的沪深 300 指数是今年全球表现最差的指数之一，在 2023 年期间下跌了 11.4%。International investors have been hesitant to buy Chinese A-shares, with net buying on the stock connect links totalling only around 44 billion yuan -- or 6.2 billion US dollars. Sounds like a lot, but it’s the smallest annual inflow since 2015, dented【削弱】by heavy selling in the second half of the year.国际投资者一直对购买中国A股犹豫不决，股票联通净买入总额只有约440亿元人民币，约合62亿美元。听起来很多，但这是自2015年以来最小的年度流入量，今年下半年的大量抛售削弱了这一流入量。But that’s not to say there have been no winners among the traditional sectors and the new. Chinese oil giant PetroChina has seen the benefits as turmoil【混乱】in Ukraine and the Middle East pushed crude prices higher. Its stock ends 2023 up more than 40 percent.但这并不是说传统行业和新兴行业中没有赢家。随着乌克兰和中东地区的动荡局势推动原油价格走高，中国石油行业巨头“中石油”也从中获益。该公司股票在 2023 年底的涨幅超过 40%。It’s also been a year of tech tension between China and the United States, as Washington has sought to restrict China’s access to high end semiconductors -- particularly those that can be used to develop and train AI. That will leave Chinese chip makers to fill the void, and their stocks have been rising. Shares in China's biggest chip producer - SMIC - are up almost 30 percent this year.今年也是中美科技关系紧张的一年，因为华盛顿方试图限制中国获得高端半导体，特别是那些可用于开发和训练人工智能的半导体。这使得中国芯片制造商填补空白，而它们的股票一路高涨。中国最大的芯片生产商“中芯国际”的股票今年上涨了近30%。Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was the world’s worst performing stock index this year, and finished the last trading day flat. It’s followed a similar trajectory【轨道】to the Chinese Mainland markets, and it’s big-name tech listings have suffered due to persistently high inflation and interest rates around the world. Tech stocks and other so-called ‘growth stocks’ tend to be far more interest rate sensitive than traditional sectors ... and if you like low interest rates, this hasn’t been your year.香港恒生指数是今年全球表现最差的股指，在最后一个交易日以持平收盘。恒生指数的走势与中国内地市场类似，由于全球通胀和利率居高不下，恒生指数中的大牌科技股也受到了影响。科技股和其他所谓的“成长股”对利率的敏感度往往远高于传统行业……如果你喜欢低利率，今年就不适合你。If you were tracking the Nikkei 225 it definitely was your year. The Japanese markets put on a stellar performance in 2023 with the Nikkei 225 gaining 28.2 percent - its best year in a decade. We saw the index repeatedly hit 33 year highs, as Japan’s long-running problem of low inflation seemed to finally be conquered, and speculation rose about an end to the BOJ’s ultra-loose monetary policy. Japanese markets were also helped along by a fairly weak yen. Many Japanese listed firms make a fair amount of money outside of the country, and need to repatriate【把（资金）调回本国】 that income. If the yen is low, those yen-denominated profits look even better. And there were even some high-profile statements of confidence in Japanese business - most notably Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway moving to increase its stake in Japanese firms.如果你追踪的是日经225指数，那么今年绝对是你的好年份。2023 年，日本市场表现抢眼，日经 225 指数上涨了28.2%，是十年来涨幅最大的一年。随着日本长期存在的低通胀问题似乎终于得到解决，以及对日本央行结束超宽松货币政策的猜测升温，日经 225 指数屡创 33 年新高。日元相对疲软也对日本市场有所帮助。许多日本上市公司在国外赚取了相当多的钱，需要将这些收入汇回国内。如果日元走低，这些以日元计价的利润就会更好。甚至还出现了一些对日本企业充满信心的高调表态，其中最引人注目的是沃伦·巴菲特（Warren Buffet）的伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司（Berkshire Hathaway）开始增持日本公司的股份。So it’s been a year with some very clear winners and losers. And Chinese and Hong Kong markets are certainly ripe for a rebound in 2024.因此，这一年的赢家和输家都非常明显。2024 年，中国和香港市场反弹的时机无疑已经成熟。#热词加油站scheme/skiːm/【方案、布局】illuminate/ɪˈluːmɪneɪt/【照亮】shed/ʃed/【去除】dent/dent/【削弱】turmoil/ˈtɜːmɔɪl/【混乱】trajectory/trəˈdʒektəri/【轨道】repatriate/ˌriːˈpætrieɪt/【把（资金）调回本国】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

The Shanghai Composite opened higher, but soon lost its early energy and spent most of the day in negative territory, but managed to close 0.14 percent higher. The Shenzhen Component was up 0.38 percent and the ChiNext board closed one-third of a percent higher.今天，中国内地股市开局良好。上证综指高开，但很快就失去了早盘的活力，全天大部分时间处于下跌，不过收盘时还是上涨了0.14%。深成指上涨0.38%，创业板收盘上涨0.3%。Online gaming shares extended losses from Friday as China's new rules to curb spending on video games dented sentiment despite regulators' latest efforts to soothe investor concerns. The weak sentiment towards the sector persisted despite a statement fromregulators【监管者】on Saturday that they would make improvements to the proposed rules after "earnestly studying" public views on them. China's CSI Anime Comic Game Index slumped 4.9%, extending a 10% tumble【暴跌】from the previous session.

Our reporters havespoken to 5 economists from leading financial institutions to get their take onthe conference and the signals it's sent. In today's interview, our reporterZhang Shixuan spoke to Wang Dan, the Chief Economist at Hang Seng Bank China.最近结束的中央经济工作会议也提到，中国经济正在复苏，2023年高质量发展扎实推进。我们的记者采访了来自5家领头金融机构的经济学家，谈一谈他们对会议所传达的信号的解读。在今天的采访中，本报记者张诗旋采访了恒生银行（中国）首席经济学家王丹。What signal have you received from the justconcluded Central Economic Work Conference? Is stimulus going to be effectivein getting back the country's economic momentum?刚刚结束的中央经济工作会议，你收到了什么信号？刺激计划能有效地恢复国家的经济势头吗？The previous meetings, including the politburo meeting has sent out a signal that the government will implement biggerstimulus in 2024 than the past two years. This is quite necessary for many ofthe domestic producers. They're trying to find new markets, not just domesticmarkets, but also overseas market. Their production capacity has exceeded whatChinese mainland market can absorb. So there is a need to find new projects,new market to basically use up their production capacity.包括政治局会议在内的前几次会议发出了一个信号，即政府将在2024年实施比过去两年更大的刺激措施。这对许多国内生产商来说是非常必要的。他们正在努力寻找新市场，不仅是国内市场，还有海外市场。他们的生产能力已经超过了中国大陆市场的消化能力。所以有必要找到新的项目，新的市场来消化他们的产能。How important is this year's CentralEconomic Work Conference, given the headwinds faced by the Chineseeconomy at the moment?考虑到目前中国经济面临的不利因素，今年的中央经济工作会议有多重要？We're looking to the new GDP target in theCentral Work Economic Conference. It will be quite essential for businesscommunity to make their plan for the next year. Because this year, theinvestment mood is quite tamed. But next year, many people expect a turnaround.The biggest problem for Chinese economy is still a lack of confidence. It's notjust for consumers, but also investors. And that means for the GDP target in2024, it has to be a little bit more ambitious than just based on fundamentals.So we're expecting more government-led projects, especially in the new energyindustry, supply chain and water projects in central and western China, cityrenovation projects. So a lot of the fiscal expansion has to take place. Andfor domestic consumers, they're expecting faster income growth and that dependson the job market security. In order to achieve that, we also need thegovernment to take a more relaxed stance in both monetary policy and fiscalpolicy. So the Central Economic Work Conference is the foundation for business communityand also it can significantly improve the market sentiment.我们关注中央工作经济工作会议提出新的GDP目标。对于商界来说，制定明年的计划是非常重要的。因为今年，投资情绪相当温和。但明年，许多人预计情况会好转。中国经济面临的最大问题仍然是缺乏信心。这不仅适用于消费者，也适用于投资者。这意味着，对于2024年的GDP目标来说，它必须比仅仅基于基本面的目标更雄心勃勃。因此，我们预计会有更多政府主导的项目，特别是在中国中西部的新能源产业、供应链和水利项目、城市改造项目方面。所以必须进行大量的财政扩张。对于国内消费者来说，他们预计收入增长会更快，这取决于就业市场的安全性。为了实现这一目标，我们还需要政府在货币政策和财政政策方面采取更加宽松的立场。因此，中央经济工作会议是企业界的基础，也可以显著改善市场情绪。How do you view the economic situation thisyear in China? 你如何看待今年中国的经济形势？2023 is indeed a year of deep adjustment.And we have seen this real turnaround for consumer market because last year thebase was too low. So just by a natural rebounding consumer market, we have seena 7% to 8% of growth in retail market for most Chinese cities. And when we lookat the GDP growth for different sectors, it is quite uplifting. But there is agap between the macro data and micro perception. The main reason for that isthis year's growth was still mostly driven by government projects and that ismostly turned into stock building, capital formation as well as manufacturinginvestment. Those things don't necessarily turn into people's income and that'swhy on the micro level, a lot of individuals feel that their wage hasn't grownas fast as before. I would say this year the official target will be metwithout a doubt on the 5% GDP target. There's no doubt we can achieve that. Butin the months to come, there has to be more targeted measures trying to improvethe quality of life and that includes income growth as well as job security.2023年确实是深度调整的一年。我们已经看到了消费市场的真正转变，因为去年的基数太低了。因此，仅凭消费市场的自然反弹，我们就可以看到中国大多数城市的零售市场增长了7%至8%。当我们看到其它产业的GDP增长时，这是非常令人振奋的。但宏观数据和微观感知之间存在差距。主要原因是今年的增长仍然主要由政府项目推动，而这些项目大多转化为建设存量、资本形成和制造业投资。这些东西不一定会转化为人们的收入，这就是为什么在微观层面上，很多人觉得他们的工资没有以前增长得那么快。我想说，今年的官方设定的5%的GDP目标毫无疑问将实现。但在未来几个月里，必须采取更有针对性的措施，努力提高生活质量，其中包括收入增长和工作保障。#热词加油站Politburo  [ˈpɒlɪtbjʊərəʊ]  政治局Adjustment  [əˈdʒʌstmənt]  调整Fundamental  [ˌfʌndəˈmentl]  基本的Headwind  [ˈhedwɪnd]  逆风订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大师访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Our reporter Timothy Pope spoke to Zhou Hao, Chief Economist of Guotai Juan International, to find out his take on the country's economic growth and what we can expect next year.人们高度期待中国经济在2024年继续复苏。本台记者Timothy Pope采访了国泰君安国际的首席经济学家周浩，分享对中国明年经济增长的看法以及我们能期待哪些。Zhou Hao, thanks for making the time to talk to us today. 周浩，感谢你今天抽空接受我们的采访。Hi. 你好。How important is the Central Economic Work Conference this year, given the headwinds【逆风】that are currently facing the Chinese economy?鉴于中国经济目前面临的不利因素，今年的中央经济工作会议有多重要？Well, I think it's very clear that the market has been expecting a kind of very big stimulus package from China for long. And also, in the meantime, we have seen that the property market has been slowing down. Overall speaking, the economy has been somehow a bit kind of battling or even kind of struggling with this kind of headwinds. The Central Economic Work Conference is definitely one of the most important policy meetings in China, and it will set the policy agenda and terms for next year. From this kind of perspective, the market definitely wants to know more and gets more insights about the policy framework for the coming year.我认为很明显的一点是市场长期以来一直在期待中国出台非常大的经济刺激计划。同时，我们也看到房地产市场已经放缓。总体而言，经济在某种程度上一直在与这种不利因素作斗争。中央经济工作会议无疑是中国最重要的政策会议之一，它将确定明年的政策议程和条款。从这个角度来看，市场肯定希望对来年的政策框架有更多的了解和认识。There have been some pretty clear signals that the Chinese government is not gonna turn on the fiscal【财政】fire hose next year and really pump money into the economy. But might we see some more targeted measures, perhaps special bonds, for example, similar to those that we saw issued back in 2020?已经有一些非常明确的信号表明，中国政府明年不会打开财政“水龙头”，真正地向经济注入资金。但是，我们是否会看到一些更有针对性的措施，比如2020年发行的特别国债？We have to acknowledge that the overall policy stimulus will be still kind of targeted, or even moderated in the next few quarters. But the targeted policy also means that the sectors that will be supported by the physical policy will get more kind of support or boost from the policy and also all kind of get more kind of attention from the investors.我们必须承认，未来几个季度的整体政策刺激仍将是有针对性和适度的。但有针对性的政策也意味着，受实体政策支持的行业将从政策中获得更多的支持或推动，同时也会得到投资者更多的关注。So I think for China, there are two different kinds of perspectives when we look at the policy support for next year. One is that the government will continue to provide support to boost the potential or kind of productivity. And in the meantime, the government will provide support to improve the people's livelihood【生计】.因此，对中国而言，明年的政策支持有两种不同的角度。一是政府将继续提供支持，以提高生产潜力或生产率。与此同时，政府还将为改善民生提供支持。What do you expect from the Chinese economy in 2024? What's your outlook?您对2024年中国经济有何预期？前景如何？Overall speaking, if you look at the growth projection for 2024, basically we're looking around like 5%. This is there's no little doubt that China was to deliver a decent growth for next year. But on the other hand, first half of the year, we're still have to be kind of patient to see the economic momentum sentiment【情绪】and also the confidence to gradually build up. I think the hope will be that the overall economic kind of a growth will be consolidated in the first half of next year. And for the second half of next year, overall speaking, the risk will be can somehow contained, especially in both the property sector and also the local government debt related staff. And basically, that will pave ways for good kind of returns in both the bond market as well as the stock market for next year. And first half of the year, we're looking at so called the risk management. And for the second half of the year, I think there will be kind of a good returns or decent returns from a specific sector as well.总的来说，关于2024年的增长预测，我们的基本预期是5%左右。毫无疑问，中国明年会有不错的增长。但另一方面，明年上半年，我们仍需耐心等待经济势头和信心的逐步增强。我认为，整体经济增长的希望能在明年上半年得到巩固。明年下半年，总体而言，风险将在某种程度上得到控制，尤其是在房地产行业和地方政府债务相关方面。基本上，这将为明年债券市场和股票市场的良好回报铺平道路。明年上半年，我们将关注所谓的风险管理。至于下半年，我认为某些行业也会有不错的回报。So there's going to be a lot to watch in 2024. Thanks for sharing your insights, Zhouhao.所以，2024年将有很多事情值得关注。感谢您分享的见解，周浩。Thank you very much.非常感谢。#热词加油站 headwinds /ˈhedwɪnd/【逆风】fiscal /ˈfɪskl/【财政】livelihood /ˈlaɪvlihʊd/【生计】sentiment /ˈsentɪmənt/【情绪】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

NEWS ON 12/191. CHINA CAN SURMOUNT THECURRENT ECONOMIC CHALLENGES中国经济内外部可控-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-------------CHINA CAN SURMOUNT THECURRENT ECONOMIC CHALLENGES中国经济内外部可控After a bumpy 2023, there are high expectations for China's economic recovery in 2024. In the wake of the agenda-setting Central Economic Work Conference, our reporter Timothy Pope sat down with Bruce Pang, Chief Economist at the global real estate services company JLL Greater China, to get his take on how the country's challenges can be met.中国经济经历了持续承压的2023后，人们对2024年中国经济复苏寄予厚望。在定基调的中央经济工作会议之后，我们的记者Timothy Pope与全球知名房地产咨询机构仲量联行大中华区首席经济学家庞溟交谈，了解中国如何应对挑战。How important is this year's Central Economic Work Conference in really setting the tone for 2024?今年的中央经济工作会议在为2024年定下基调方面有多重要？Yes, in term of the external environment, actually a recent data shows the potential risk of slowdown in global economy as well as in many macro economies. The softening external demand actually isn't completely favorable has posed challenges for China's growth momentum and is worthy to be addressed and responded to in the top-level meeting. And domestic wise, the market expected some progress policies to complement and bear fruits, which have not yet been effectively translated into near term growth due to the constrained policy transmission and business confidence. 是的，就外部环境而言，实际上最近的数据显示了全球经济以及许多宏观经济体放缓的潜在风险。外部需求的疲软实际上并不完全有利，这对中国的增长势头构成了挑战，值得在高层会议上加以解决和回应。就国内而言，市场预计一些鼓励政策将相辅相成并取得成果，但由于政策传导和商业信心受到限制，这些政策尚未在短期内有效转化为增长。And economy’s indeed facing some structural issues together with local governments’ debt risk, distress in the housing market, etc. So a fairly supportive measures have proven mostly beneficial, raising some pressures on authorities to roll out more stimulus. My opinion is that work conference reaffirms the importance and lays a concrete foundations of stabilizing the expectations and setting up confidence.经济确实面临着一些结构性问题，以及地方政府的债务风险、房地产市场的困境等。因此，政府主导刺激措施大多数被证明是有益的，市场期待政府能推出更多刺激措施。我的看法是，工作会议重申了这一重要性，并为稳定预期和奠定信心奠定了基础。You talked about effective transmission of policy. How much new policy and how much new stimulus is the economy going to need?你谈到了政策的有效传递。中国经济需要多少新政策和新刺激？First, there will be supportive measures at all front and pragmatic strategies to revive recovery and to reengine grows for China together with solid progress in high quality development. The second step, the policymakers pledge to boost domestic demands and store the business confidence to take steps to reorient the economy towards household consumptions and market oriented allocation of resources. And the third one is that the central governments not only recognize the achievement and momentum of China's economy, also identify some specific issues and a few factors and challenges to tackle.首先，政府需要在各个方面采取支持措施，制定务实战略，重振复苏，同时在高质量发展方面取得坚实进展。第二步，政策制定者承诺提高国内需求，并储备商业信心，以采取措施将经济动力转向家庭消费和市场导向的资源配置。第三，中央政府不仅认识到中国经济的成就和势头，还确定了一些具体方面以及一些需要解决的因素和挑战。The property sector is obviously a major area of concern and has been for a while. What can be done there both to promote the sector as a whole, but also just to bring home buyers back to the market. Is this an issue of confidence, one of affordability or is it a combination of factors?房地产行业显然是人们关注的一个主要领域，而且已经有一段时间了。对于房地产领域可以做些什么，既能促进整个行业的发展，又能让购房者重返市场。这是信心问题、负担能力问题还是多种因素的结合？I think the top priority would be to break to potential virtuous cycle in and downward cycle. And some argue that ensuring the delivery of residential buildings is one of top priorities but I don't agree because it's not only priority. The language of housing for the central economical conference was a little change from previous statements. So the key would be to better implementations, executions of existing policies for the property sector to break the potential virtuous cycle, not introducing the new remedies.我认为当务之急是促进房地产业良性循环。一些人认为，确保住宅楼的交付是首要任务之一，但我不同意，因为这不是唯一的优先事项。中央经济会议的住房措辞与之前的声明略有不同。因此，关键是更好地实施和执行房地产行业的现有政策，以促进良性循环，而不是引入新的补救措施。And what's your outlook for the Chinese economy in 2024? 你对2024年中国经济的展望是什么？There will be two major growth drivers for 2024. First will be making good use of policy room. And second will be a synergy between consumption and investment as mentioned by the Work Conference so that there will be better collaborations and strong synergy across different policies include physical monetary size, technology, industrial policies, etc. Among others, the strengthen innovations and coordinations policy tools could also be seen which are positive stabilize expectation sentiment to promote to transition of growth model and structural adjustments. And demand, especially as a domestic demand is the key. So consumption and investments two wings of China's growth. And I think the virtuous cycle, the positive effect from both investments and consumptions, could also be a very important catalyst to further boost China's growth and development next year.2024年将有两大增长动力。首先是充分利用政策空间。第二，正如工作会议所提到的，消费和投资之间的协同作用，从而使不同政策（包括实物货币规模、技术、产业政策等）之间有更好的合作和强大的协同作用，强化创新与协调政策工具对稳定预期情绪，促进增长模式转型和结构调整也有积极作用。而需求，尤其是国内需求是关键。因此，消费和投资是中国经济增长的两翼。我认为，这种良性循环，即投资和消费的积极影响，也可能是明年进一步推动中国增长和发展的一个非常重要的催化剂。Fascinating insights!

One of them is a new term in Chinese we call it “xianlihoupo”, which literally means we fix it and then break it. How do you interpret these new terms?中央经济工作会议有几个亮点。其中有个新词是“先立后破”，字面意思是先打破旧有的固定模式，才能创造出新的。您如何理解这些新词？Hong Hao chief economist of GROW Investment Group洪灏 思睿集团首席经济学家It is a new term. Normally in Chinese we say we break it first and then fix it, right? So we break the existing model first and then we'll fix it and re-jig it. This time around, we're talking about steady the shift first and then develop. So I think stability is the key. I think the management is trying to keep a stable, steady domestic environment for the economic re-engineering processing.这是一个新词。在中文里，我们通常说先破后立，对吧？先打破现有的模式，再重新调整它。这次，我们说的是先稳后变，再发展。所以稳定是关键。管理层正在努力为国内经济再造过程保持一个稳定、平稳的环境。Zhang Shixuan Reporter张诗旋 记者How important is this year’s Central Economic Work Conference? Have you seen any progress made from the conference?您认为今年的中央经济工作会议有多重要？会议取得了哪些进展？Hong Hao chief economist of GROW Investment Group洪灏 思睿集团首席经济学家This year, we’ve seen new messages coming out of this meeting. For example, we're gonna use a new technology development to develop new types of productivity and to propel【推进】 economic growth going forward. And back then, I think last year, for example, we're emphasizing on boosting domestic demand to help the economy to recover. But I think going forward, that is still important because that is also being discussed in the conferences as well. But the role of technologically development is becoming increasingly more important. And I think it's the first time that we're putting science and technology development in the center of economic growth model going forward.我们从今年这次会议中看到了新的信息。比如说，我们要利用新技术来发展新型生产力，推动经济向前发展。而去年，比如说，我们强调要促进内需，帮助经济复苏。在未来，这一点仍然很重要，因为会议上也讨论了这个问题。不过技术发展的作用正变得越来越重要。我认为这是我们第一次把科技发展放在未来经济增长模式的中心位置。Zhang Shixuan Reporter张诗旋 记者What do you think is the dominant trend for the overall economic growth in China this year? 您认为今年中国整体经济增长的主要趋势是什么？Hong Hao chief economist of GROW Investment Group洪灏 思睿集团首席经济学家The Chinese economy is going into a new phase, is trying to switch away from growth model that is driven by property investment growth and going into a high tech manufacturing driven growth. Property sector is important, but it shouldn't be one and only sector that matters to the Chinese economy. And also in a new environment where rivalry【竞争】between countries assign the heating up in terms of who gets to take the lead or even dominate the tech sector. That is probably the crucial success, the crucial battle that China has to (face).中国经济正进入一个新阶段，试图从以房地产投资增长为驱动力的增长模式转向以高科技制造业为驱动力的增长模式。房地产业固然重要，但它不应是中国经济的唯一支柱产业。同时，在新的环境下，国家之间的竞争日趋白热化，谁能在科技领域占据领先甚至是主导地位，这可能是中国必须（面对）的成功关键和关键挑战。Obviously this year, we've seen some initial attempts and end results already. The GDP coming from the property sector in terms of percentage has decreased substantially. But at the same time, investment in other areas and also some new and emerging industries are developing substantially faster than the traditional industries. I would say that this year people are starting see and feel the change of the development model. I'm just hoping that going forward, more and more people come around to this camp and see property as part of the necessary that the consumer discretionary【自由决定的】sector that is helping consumption while the investment that used to be set assign invested in the property center and it will be being used to develop the high tech sector in the manufacturing sector of the Chinese economy.今年我们已经明显看到了一些初步尝试和结果。房地产行业的GDP占比大幅下降。但与此同时，其他领域的投资以及一些新兴产业的发展速度大大快于传统产业。今年人们开始看到并感受到发展模式的变化。希望在未来，越来越多的人能够加入，把房地产看成是帮助消费的可支配消费领域的必要组成部分，而过去分配给房地产中心的投资，将被用来发展中国经济制造业中的高科技领域。Zhang Shixuan Reporter张诗旋 记者Well, this trend, which you refer to as a restructuring process continue in the year to come? Will be able to see some effects from the change?您所说的这种重组趋势在来年是否会继续？这种变化是否会产生某些影响？Hong Hao chief economist of GROW Investment Group洪灏 思睿集团首席经济学家As time goes by, you're seeing the embryo of the new development structure clearer and clearer, while the old development model is sort of receding into the background. Nothing that is probably more likely that we're gonna see an experience in the next couple of years. And China is developing a very substantial comparative advantage relative to the other nations, for example, the EV sectors. I think China now is the largest EV exporter of the world, etc. So things are gradually changing. It's an emerging process that we need to manage well. But obviously we're feeling more and more palpable【明显的】. The change is coming our way. 随着时间的推移，你会看到新发展结构的雏形越来越清晰，而旧的发展模式则逐渐隐退。在未来几年里，我们更有可能看到这样的情况。与其他国家相比，中国正在形成非常大的优势，例如在电动汽车领域。中国现在是世界上最大的电动汽车出口国，等等。因此，情况正在逐渐发生变化。这是一个新兴的过程，我们需要好好把握。我们的感觉越来越明显，变化正在向我们走来。Now we're at about 300% to GDP-debt leverage ratio and that has to be change. I think this year we're probably gonna see for example, restructuring of local government debt, also more assistance for real estate developers who may have short term cash flow problems. There are many things to do but one has to keep in mind that solving the real estate challenge and also solving the local government bond issues, it's a long term issue. We probably took more than a decade to get to where we're now, and probably take at least a couple of years to clean it up.现在，我们的债务杠杆率约为国内生产总值的300%，这必须改变。今年我们可能会看到地方政府债务的重组，以及对可能有短期现金流问题的房地产开发商的更多援助。要做的事情有很多，但我们必须牢记，解决房地产挑战和解决地方政府债券问题是一个长期问题。我们花了十多年的时间才走到今天这一步，可能至少还需要几年的时间来收拾残局。#热词加油站propel /prəˈpel/【推进】rivalry /ˈraɪvlri/【竞争】discretionary /dɪˈskreʃənəri/【自由决定的】palpable /ˈpælpəbl/【明显的】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

NEWS ON 12/15FITCHRATINGSRAISEDCHINA 2023 GROWTHFORECASTTO 5.3%惠誉上调2023年中国经济增速预期至5.3%----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------FITCHRATINGSRAISEDCHINA 2023 GROWTHFORECASTTO 5.3%惠誉上调2023年中国经济增速预期至5.3%Fitch Ratings last Friday raised its 2023 economic growth forecast for China by 0.5 percentage points to 5.3%. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan spoke to Jeremy Zook, Director of Asia-Pacific Sovereign Ratings at Fitch Ratings to learnmore about his take on economic health in China.国际知名评级公司惠誉上周五将2023年中国经济增长预测上调0.5个百分点至5.3%。本台记者张诗旋采访了惠誉评级亚太区主权评级董事杰瑞米·祖克（Jeremy Zook），了解他对中国经济状况的看法。Zhang Shixuan, reporter张诗旋 本台记者The Central Economic Work Conference has assessed this year’s achievements and set a tone for economic development for next year. Which statements from the conference may have a big impact on growth in 2024?中央经济工作会议总结了今年的成就，为明年的经济发展奠定了基调。会议的哪些声明可能会对2024年的经济增长产生重大影响？Jeremy Zook, Director of Asia-Pacific Sovereign Ratings, Fitch Ratings杰瑞米·祖克 惠誉评级亚太区主权评级董事The statement from the conference about using progress to promote stability, we think implies that some of these efforts that the government has made so far this year will be stepped up into next year. So, on the monetary policy side, we think that this kind of signals that there will be a bit more in the way of modest monetary policy easing. But I think the more interesting takeaway is on the fiscal【财政的】side, where the discussion of proactive【积极主动的】fiscal policy being intensified. But I think in terms of the overall message, it’s still not one of a large degree of stimulus. It’s more about keeping growth stable and by sort of managing some of the downside risks in the economy rather than giving a major boost to the growth outlook.我们认为，会议关于“以进促稳”的声明意味着，政府今年迄今所做的一些努力将在明年得到加强。因此，在货币政策方面，我们认为这是一种信号，表明将有更多适度宽松的货币政策。但我认为更有趣的是财政方面，关于积极财政政策的讨论正在加强。但我认为，就总体信息而言，这仍然不是一个大规模的刺激政策。它更多地是为了保持经济增长的稳定，并通过管理经济中的一些下行风险，而不是对经济增长前景进行大幅提振。Zhang Shixuan, reporter张诗旋 本台记者What’s your take on the economic situation this year in China?您如何看待今年中国的经济形势？Jeremy Zook, Director of Asia-Pacific Sovereign Ratings, Fitch Ratings杰瑞米·祖克 惠誉评级亚太区主权评级董事In terms of our outlook for this year, we actually just revised【修改】up on Friday our growth forecast for 2023 from 4.8% to 5.3%. So, I think, what is influencing this upward revision and growth is that the third quarter came out a bit more stable and a bit stronger than what we had and anticipated.关于今年的展望，实际上我们刚刚在周五将2023年的增长预测从4.8%上调至5.3%。因此，我认为，影响此次上调和增长的原因是，第三季度的情况比我们的预期更稳定、更强劲一些。In comparison, though, China’s economy is still growing at a relatively strong pace compared to the rest of the world, but emerging markets this year have come under a bit of pressure as well, and advanced economies have also seen quite a lot of economic challenges given higher interest and rising interest rates.相比之下，中国经济的增长速度与世界其他国家相比仍然相对强劲，但新兴市场今年也面临着一些压力，而发达经济体由于较高且不断上升的利率，也面临着不少经济挑战。It’s very clear that the government wants to move the driver of growth away from the property sector to what it views as a more sustainable model, relying on new manufacturing sector, such as electric vehicles, batteries, renewable energy, as well as more reliance on consumption growth rather than in investment.很明显，政府希望把经济增长的驱动力从房地产行业转移到它认为更可持续的模式上，依靠新的制造业，如电动汽车、电池、可再生能源，以及更多地依靠消费拉动经济增长而不是投资。Zhang Shixuan, reporter张诗旋 本台记者You mentioned that a country is now shifting its driving force for economic growth from property sector while also battling other headwinds【逆风】. Do you think now is the right time to make the transition? And what happens if we don’t do it?您提到，中国目前正在将经济增长的驱动力从房地产行业转向其他行业，同时也在与其他不利因素作斗争。您认为现在是转型的合适时机吗？如果不转型会发生什么？Jeremy Zook, Director of Asia-Pacific Sovereign Ratings, Fitch Ratings杰瑞米·祖克 惠誉评级亚太区主权评级董事This is certainly a policy priority. And we did see quite a lot of imbalances built up in the property sector. There were questions about how sort of sustainable and desirable such credit driven growth where for the Chinese economy. So certainly, reducing the risk coming from property itself, it does help to promote stability. But the question is managing this transition between the property sector driven growth and this new growth model. How does the government sort of manage that? And I think that’s the challenge that we’re facing, that China is facing right now.这当然是政策重点。我们确实看到房地产行业出现了很多失衡现象。有人质疑这种信贷驱动的增长对中国经济的可持续性和可取性。因此，降低来自房地产本身的风险，确实有助于促进稳定。但问题是如何管理房地产行业驱动的增长与这种新增长模式之间的过渡。政府该如何管理？我认为这是我们面临的挑战，也是中国目前面临的挑战。We do think that a lot of the trends that we saw in 2023 will continue. So we see a bit more downside in the property sector, especially in the first half of the year. On the external demand front, we do see a bit of recovery in exports for next year, although we think it will be only a very gradual recovery because growth in advanced economies and the global growth just is a bit weaker in our forecast going into 2024. And this is where the degree of policy support will come into play, we do think and underlying our forecasts is an assumption that the government will utilize again, monetary policy and more significantly fiscal policy to help support more stable growth next year.我们确实认为，在 2023 年看到的许多趋势将继续下去。因此，我们认为房地产行业的下行空间会更大一些，尤其是在明年上半年。在外部需求方面，我们认为明年的出口会有所复苏，尽管我们认为这只是一个非常平缓的复苏，因为在我们的预测中，发达经济体和全球经济增长在2024年会略显疲软。这就是政策支持的作用所在，我们确实认为，我们预测的基础是政府将再次利用货币政策和更重要的财政政策来帮助支持明年更稳定的增长。#热词加油站fiscal/ˈfɪsk(ə)l/【财政的】proactive/ˌprəʊˈæktɪv/【积极主动的】revise/rɪˈvaɪz/【修改】headwind/ˈhedwɪnd/【逆风】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

NEWS ON 12/151.     CHINESE ECONOMY REBOUNDS IN NOVEMBER中国经济11月出现反弹-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-------------CHINESE ECONOMY REBOUNDS IN NOVEMBER中国经济11月出现反弹The recently-concluded Central Economic Work Conference also noted that China's economy has achieved a recovery, with solid progress made in high-quality development in 2023. Our reporters have spoken to 5 economists from leading financial institutions to get their take on the conference and the signals it's sent. In today's interview, our reporter Zhang Shixuan spoke to Wang Dan, the Chief Economist at Hang Seng Bank China.最近结束的中央经济工作会议也提到，中国经济正在复苏，2023年高质量发展扎实推进。我们的记者采访了来自5家领头金融机构的经济学家，谈一谈他们对会议所传达的信号的解读。在今天的采访中，本台记者张诗旋采访了恒生银行（中国）首席经济学家王丹。What signal have you received from the just concluded Central Economic Work Conference? Is stimulus going to be effective in getting back the country's economic momentum?刚刚结束的中央经济工作会议，你收到了什么信号？刺激计划能有效地恢复国家的经济势头吗？The previous meetings, including the politburo meeting has sent out a signal that the government will implement bigger stimulus in 2024 than the past two years. This is quite necessary for many of the domestic producers. They're trying to find new markets, not just domestic markets, but also overseas market. Their production capacity has exceeded what Chinese mainland market can absorb. So there is a need to find new projects, new market to basically use up their production capacity.包括政治局会议在内的前几次会议发出了一个信号，即政府将在2024年实施比过去两年更大的刺激措施。这对许多国内生产商来说是非常必要的。他们正在努力寻找新市场，不仅是国内市场，还有海外市场。他们的生产能力已经超过了中国大陆市场的消化能力。所以有必要找到新的项目，新的市场来消化他们的产能。How important is this year's Central Economic Work Conference, given the headwinds faced by the Chinese economy at the moment?考虑到目前中国经济面临的不利因素，今年的中央经济工作会议有多重要？We're looking to the new GDP target in the Central Work Economic Conference. It will be quite essential for business community to make their plan for the next year. Because this year, the investment mood is quite tamed. But next year, many people expect a turnaround. The biggest problem for Chinese economy is still a lack of confidence. It's not just for consumers, but also investors. And that means for the GDP target in 2024, it has to be a little bit more ambitious than just based on fundamentals. So we're expecting more government-led projects, especially in the new energy industry, supply chain and water projects in central and western China, city renovation projects. So a lot of the fiscal expansion has to take place. And for domestic consumers, they're expecting faster income growth and that depends on the job market security. In order to achieve that, we also need the government to take a more relaxed stance in both monetary policy and fiscal policy. So the Central Economic Work Conference is the foundation for business community and also it can significantly improve the market sentiment.我们关注中央工作经济工作会议提出新的GDP目标。对于商界来说，制定明年的计划是非常重要的。因为今年，投资情绪相当温和。但明年，许多人预计情况会好转。中国经济面临的最大问题仍然是缺乏信心。这不仅适用于消费者，也适用于投资者。这意味着，对于2024年的GDP目标来说，它必须比仅仅基于基本面的目标更雄心勃勃。因此，我们预计会有更多政府主导的项目，特别是在中国中西部的新能源产业、供应链和水利项目、城市改造项目方面。所以必须进行大量的财政扩张。对于国内消费者来说，他们预计收入增长会更快，这取决于就业市场的安全性。为了实现这一目标，我们还需要政府在货币政策和财政政策方面采取更加宽松的立场。因此，中央经济工作会议是企业界的基础，也可以显著改善市场情绪。How do you view the economic situation this year in China? 你如何看待今年中国的经济形势？2023 is indeed a year of deep adjustment. And we have seen this real turnaround for consumer market because last year the base was too low. So just by a natural rebounding consumer market, we have seen a 7% to 8% of growth in retail market for most Chinese cities. And when we look at the GDP growth for different sectors, it is quite uplifting. But there is a gap between the macro data and micro perception. The main reason for that is this year's growth was still mostly driven by government projects and that is mostly turned into stock building, capital formation as well as manufacturing investment. Those things don't necessarily turn into people's income and that's why on the micro level, a lot of individuals feel that their wage hasn't grown as fast as before. I would say this year the official target will be met without a doubt on the 5% GDP target. There's no doubt we can achieve that. But in the months to come, there has to be more targeted measures trying to improve the quality of life and that includes income growth as well as job security.2023年确实是深度调整的一年。我们已经看到了消费市场的真正转变，因为去年的基数太低了。因此，仅凭消费市场的自然反弹，我们就可以看到中国大多数城市的零售市场增长了7%至8%。当我们看到其它产业的GDP增长时，这是非常令人振奋的。但宏观数据和微观感知之间存在差距。主要原因是今年的增长仍然主要由政府项目推动，而这些项目大多转化为建设存量、资本形成和制造业投资。这些东西不一定会转化为人们的收入，这就是为什么在微观层面上，很多人觉得他们的工资没有以前增长得那么快。我想说，今年的官方设定的5%的GDP目标毫无疑问将实现。但在未来几个月里，必须采取更有针对性的措施，努力提高生活质量，其中包括收入增长和工作保障。#热词加油站Politburo  [ˈpɒlɪtbjʊərəʊ]  政治局Adjustment  [əˈdʒʌstmənt]  调整Fundamental  [ˌfʌndəˈmentl]  基本的Headwind  [ˈhedwɪnd]  逆风订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大师访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

NEWS ON 12/111. INVESTORS SHRUG OFF SLUGGISH INFLATION DATA投资者摆脱低迷的通胀数据2. SHANGHAI MUSEUM PRESENTS DA VINCI ALONGSIDE CHINESE ARTISTS OF SAME ERA18幅达·芬奇及文艺复兴时代作品抵达上海博物馆-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1. INVESTORS SHRUG OFF SLUGGISH INFLATION DATA投资者摆脱低迷的通胀数据Chinese A-shares rebounded this afternoon, shrugging off weaker economic data published at the weekend. Here's Timothy Pope with a look at the day's trading action.A股今天（12/11）下午出现反弹，摆脱了周末公布的疲软经济数据的影响。记者Timothy Pope带来对今天市场交易情况的分析。Chinese Mainland markets started the day sharply lower as investors reacted to the Saturday's sluggish【行动迟缓的】consumer and producer inflation numbers. But with the CPI falling at the fastest pace in three years, and both measures of inflation coming under increasing pressure, it does boost the case for some form of stimulus measures to come out of the Chinese Government's Central Economic Work Conference. That agenda-setting meeting is expected to be held this week. The Shanghai Composite gained sharply after the lunch time trading break to close 0.7 percent higher. The Shenzhen Component ended the day 0.8 percent higher.投资者对周六消费者和生产者低迷的通胀数据作出了反应，中国内地市场开盘大幅走低。但是，随着消费者物价指数以三年来最快的速度下降，这两项通胀指标都面临着越来越大的压力，有助于中国政府在中央经济工作会议上出台的刺激措施，该会议将于本周召开。上证综指在午间休市后大幅上涨，收盘上涨0.7%。深成指收盘上涨0.8%。Real Estate stocks didn't really participate in the late rally【回升】, and remained the biggest drag on the mainland markets. A sub-index tracking them ended 1.5 percent lower. 房地产股并未真正参与尾盘的反弹，仍然是拖累内地市场的最大因素。房地产股的分指数收盘下跌1.5%。Zhengzhou Coal Mining led gains among energy stocks -- rising 5.7 percent after announcing a 300 to 600 million yuan share buyback plan over the next 12 months. 郑煤机在能源股中涨幅居前——在宣布未来12个月3-6亿元的股票回购计划后，上涨了 5.7%。Hong Kong's markets traded lower all day as consumer and tech shares dragged down the Hang Seng. The main index was off 0.8 percent while the Tech Index was 0.4 percent lower.由于消费股和科技股拖累了恒生指数，香港股市全天走低。恒生指数下跌0.8%，科技股指数下跌0.4%。JD.com was one of the day's biggest decliners, shedding 6.3 percent alongside other tech names including Baidu and Meituan.京东是今天跌幅最大的股票之一，下跌了 6.3%，百度和美团等其他科技股也都下降。Li Ning was the biggest loser on the Hang Seng though, slumping 14.3 percent to a more than 3 and a half year low. Those falls could be related to the company's decision to buy a new Hong Kong headquarters building. The 22-storey commercial and retail building in Hong Kong's North Point is going to cost Li Ning more than 280 million US dollars. 李宁是恒生指数的最大输家，暴跌14.3%，创逾三年半新低。下跌可能与该公司决定购买一座新的香港总部大楼有关。这座位于香港北角的22层商业零售大楼将花费李宁超过2.8亿美元。And in Japan the Nikkei 225 rebounded off Friday's one month low, rising 1.5 percent. The Japanese yen had been at a four month high against the US dollar, which prompted a sell-off of stocks in Tokyo late last week. Today there was a correction【回调】in the yen, slipping back to more than 145.6 per dollar, which was good news for much of the country's export oriented stocks. Nissan added 2.5 percent while Nintendo rose 1.4 percent.在日本市场，日经225指数从上周五的月低点反弹，上涨了1.5%。日元对美元汇率曾创下四个月来的新高，这促使东京股市在上周末出现抛售。今天，日元汇率出现回调，回落到1 美元兑145.6日元以上，这对该国大部分出口导向型股票来说是个好消息。日产汽车上涨了2.5%，任天堂上涨了1.4%。2. SHANGHAI MUSEUM PRESENTS DA VINCI ALONGSIDE CHINESE ARTISTS OF SAME ERA18幅达·芬奇及文艺复兴时代作品抵达上海博物馆Shanghai Museum reopened yesterday after being closed two months for renovations. The "Who is Leonardo da Vinci?" exhibition has quickly attracted attention as it's based on a dialogue between Renaissance masters, led by da Vinci, and Chinese artists from the 15th and 16th centuries. Sun Siqi has more.上海博物馆在闭馆整修两个月后于昨天重新开放。“对话达•芬奇——文艺复兴与东方美学艺术特展”以达-芬奇为首的文艺复兴大师与15、16世纪中国艺术家之间的对话为主题，迅速引起了人们的关注。记者孙思奇带来更多报道。Da Vinci's painting "La Scapigliata", or "The Lady with Disheveled Hair" from the collection of the National Gallery of Parma is unquestionably the exhibition's highlight. The gallery only loans it outside of Italy once every five years. A 2019 exhibition at the Louvre Museum in Paris was the last time it was outside of Italy.帕尔马国家美术馆收藏的达-芬奇画作《La Scapigliata》，即《头发飘逸的女子》，无疑是本次展览的亮点。帕尔马国家美术馆每五年才将这幅画借出意大利一次。2019年在巴黎卢浮宫博物馆举办的展览是它最后一次走出意大利。"La Scapigliata" is an unfinished oil painting with umber and white lead pigments【颜料】 on a small poplar wood panel. It is the outline of a young woman, face gently angled downward, disheveled hair flowing behind her with half-closed eyes and ambiguous smile. It's frequently compared to the Mona Lisa.《头发飘逸的女子》是一幅未完成的油画作品，用黄褐色和铅白颜料在橡木板上所绘。其描绘了一位头发飘逸的年轻女性，双目低垂，轻轻颔首，脸上带着一抹若有似无的微笑。这幅画经常被拿来与《蒙娜丽莎》相比较。Italian art historians found a frame for this masterpiece since it didn't originally have a frame to protect it. 意大利艺术史学家为这幅杰作找到了一个画框，因为它原本没有画框保护。Chu Xin, Deputy Director Exhibition Department, SH Museum上海博物馆展览部副主任 褚馨“The frame and the painting were delivered to us separately in two boxes. The frame contains several settings to make sure that the painting can be kept at a perfect temperature and humidity【湿度】. We'll also record the data and send it to the Italian gallery every two weeks to keep them updated. It's the first time for us to exhibit a painting in such a traditional yet professional way. We've learned a lot from the Italian side in terms of how to protect a masterpiece. ”“这个画框是单独和这幅油画一起运过来，运过来之后是分两个箱子画框有多种设置，以确保画作能保持在最佳的温度和湿度下。我们还将记录数据，每两周发送给意大利画廊一次，以便随时更新。这是我们第一次以如此传统而专业的方式展出画作。在如何保护杰作方面，我们从意大利方面学到了很多。”Francesco D'Arelli Exhibition Curato意大利驻沪总领事馆官员、意方策展人 达仁利“This exhibition could be the starting point of a different approach of the cultural dialogue and so Shanghai Museum is a very excellent museum in the eastern China. Shanghai museum could be the door, the window for this new approach in displaying what are the treasures of our both civilizations. ”“上海博物馆是华东地区非常出色的博物馆。上海博物馆可以成为展示我们两种文明瑰宝的新途径的大门和窗口。”The exhibition features 18 treasured Renaissance artworks from Italy, as well as 18 ancient Chinese paintings from Shanghai Museum's collection. Also on display are pieces by other Renaissance masters including two sketches by Michelangelo, and paintings by pupils of da Vinci.展览展出了18件来自意大利的文艺复兴时期珍贵艺术品，以及上海博物馆收藏的18件中国古代绘画作品。此外，还展出了文艺复兴时期其他艺术大师的作品，包括米开朗基罗的两幅素描和达-芬奇学生的画作。Shanghai Museum has selected 18 paintings from its collection of Chinese art as part of an artistic dialogue with the Renaissance masters. The most famous one is arguably Tang Yin's "Lady With Fan in the Autumn Breeze". Also known as Tang Bohu, Tang Yin of the Ming Dynasty is a household name in China, and this painting is regarded as one of his most famous even though it has been 25 years since it was last on public display at the museum.上海博物馆从其中国艺术藏品中精选了18幅画作，作为与文艺复兴大师进行艺术对话的一部分。其中最有名的是唐寅的《秋风纨扇图》。在明代时期，唐寅又名唐伯虎，在中国家喻户晓。这幅画是他最著名的作品之一，它上次在博物馆公开展出已是25年前。Chu Xin, Deputy Director Exhibition Department, SH Museum上海博物馆展览部副主任 褚馨“Our exhibit designer used an arch and traditional Chinese window to break the boundaries between different topics. For example, while visitors are gazing upon da Vinci's painting, they will also be able to see the works of Chinese artists through a window. I think it is quite interesting and full of artistic value, giving people time and space to stop and think. ”“这次设计师用了这个西式的这个拱门和中式的这个花窗与园林的花窗，通过这样的一种布景和这样的一种打破这个空间和空间之间的隔断。比如，参观者在欣赏达芬奇画作的同时，还能透过窗户看到中国艺术家的作品。我认为这非常有趣，充满了艺术价值，让人们有时间和空间停下来思考。”The exhibition includes 11 pages from the Codex Atlanticus, a set of drawings and texts, that are being shown in China for the first time. The manuscript covers a wide range of subjects, including studies and sketches of paintings, mechanics, mathematics, astronomy as well as inventions such as the parachute【降落伞】, war machines and hydraulic pumps.此次展览还包括首次在中国展出的《大西洋古抄本》中的11页手稿，这是一套图画和文字手稿。手稿内容广泛，包括绘画、机械、数学、天文学以及降落伞、战争机器和液压泵等发明的研究和草图。#热词加油站sluggish /ˈslʌɡɪʃ/【行动迟缓的】rally /ˈræli/【回升】correction /kəˈrekʃn/【回调】pigments /ˈpɪɡmənt/【颜料】humidity /hjuːˈmɪdəti/【湿度】parachute /ˈpærəʃuːt/【降落伞】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

NEWS ON 12/081.CENTRAL GOVERNMENT ISSUES NEW GUIDELINES FOR FTZ国务院印发总体方案推进上海自贸试验区高水平制度型开放2.SHANGHAI FORECAST SHOWING RAIN FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY出行记得带伞！上海天气预报显示将迎来降雨----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1.CENTRAL GOVERNMENT ISSUES NEW GUIDELINES FOR FTZ国务院印发总体方案推进上海自贸试验区高水平制度型开放China’s State Council has issued new guidelines to expand the Shanghai Free Trade Zone into a demonstration area for what it calls “institutional【制度的】opening-up”. Sun Siqi tells us more about what it means.国务院印发了推动上海自由贸易试验区打造“制度性开放”示范区的新方案。本台记者孙思奇为我们详细介绍这一战略举措的意义。Officials said during the past ten years, the Shanghai Free Trade Zone has accumulated abundant experience for deeper opening-up. Among the 302 regulatory innovations that developed across all of the FTZs in China, 145 came from Shanghai. And in the future, the central government envisions【预想】 a more systemic opening-up for the Shanghai FTZ.官方表示，过去十年，上海自贸区为深化对外开放积累了丰富经验。国家层面复制推广的302项自贸试验区改革试点经验中，源自上海自贸区的有145项。未来，中央政府计划对上海自贸区进行更系统的开放。Hua Yuan, Vice Mayor of Shanghai华源上海市人民政府副市长“这次《总体方案》在自贸试验区制度创新成效的基础上，对‘边境’管理制度改革和‘边境后’管理制度改革都提出了更高标准。比如在货物贸易方面，我们将围绕提高国际贸易效率、降低国际贸易成本的目标，不断提高贸易便利化和贸易数字化水平。”“On the basis of what we achieved at the FTZ, the guidelines have specified stronger reforms in regulations on border control. For example, in cross-border trade, regulations will be changed to increase trade efficiency, lower trade costs and digitalize Customs procedures related to cross-border trade.” Another highlight is a push to increase openness in the financial sector. The guidelines are expected to assist Shanghai in putting regulations in place that are similar to those in the world’s most open markets.方案的另一个亮点是推动金融业的进一步开放。该方案有望使上海自贸区全面对接国际高标准经贸规则。Zhu Min, Director of Shanghai Commission of Commerce朱民上海市商务委员会主任“拓宽数字金融服务在国际经贸往来中的应用场景，主要是加强前沿技术在电子支付、跨境资产管理等领域的具体运用。通过优化跨国公司跨境资金、集中运营管理政策，提升自由贸易账户系统功能，进一步优化上海总部经济跨境投融资服务水平。”“Digital financial services will have wider applications in international economic exchanges, in areas including electronic payment and cross-border asset management. We’ll optimize policies that govern cross-border capital of multi-national corporations, and elevate the ability for corporate headquarters to invest and finance across the border.”Once the guidelines have been implemented【执行】, officials say they believe Shanghai will begin to attract more foreign financial institutions.官方表示，一旦方案得以实施，相信上海将开始吸引更多的外国金融机构。2.SHANGHAI FORECAST SHOWING RAIN FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY出行记得带伞！上海天气预报显示将迎来降雨It was warm and sunny in Shanghai today with daytime highs reaching 21 degrees at the Xujiahui Meteorological【气象学的】Station.今天（12/08）上海天气晴暖，徐家汇气象站白天最高气温达到21摄氏度。The western suburbs were even warmer today, with a station in Qingpu registering a high 23.6 degrees in the early afternoon.

NEWS ON 12/081.CHINA, SINGAPORE PLAN RECIPROCAL 30-DAY VISA-FREE ENTRY中国和新加坡计划互惠30天无签证入境2.SCIENTISTS TAKE RESEARCH TO A DEEPER LEVEL科学家将研究提升到更深层次3. A-SHARES REMAIN MIRED BELOW KEY LEVELSA股仍深陷关键水平以下的泥潭-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-------------1.CHINA, SINGAPORE PLAN RECIPROCAL 30-DAY VISA-FREE ENTRY中国和新加坡计划互惠30天无签证入境Deputy Prime of Singapore Minister Lawrence Wong said China and Singapore will work out the implementation details of the 30-day mutual visa exemption agreement early next year. Wong made the announcement at the 19th meeting of the China-Singapore Joint Council for Bilateral Cooperation in Tianjin today. Since the second half of this year, countries including Thailand, Sri Lanka and Malaysia granted visa-free travel for Chinese citizens. China granted visa-free entry for travelers holding ordinary passports of France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia starting this month. 新加坡副总理黄循财表示，中新两国将于明年初制定为期30天的互免签证协议的实施细节。黄循财是今天在天津举行的中新双边合作联合理事会第十九次会议上宣布这一消息的。今年下半年以来，泰国、斯里兰卡、马来西亚等国给予中国公民免签证旅行。从本月开始，中国对持有法国、德国、意大利、荷兰、西班牙和马来西亚普通护照的游客实行免签证入境。2.SCIENTISTS TAKE RESEARCH TO A DEEPER LEVEL科学家将研究提升到更深层次Experiments are ready to commence at the world's deepest and largest underground laboratory in Sichuan Province after construction and installation wrapped up today. Sun Siqi takes a look at the new facility that may prove essential to frontier research in dark matter and other space particles. 在今天施工和安装结束后，位于四川省的世界上最深、最大的地下实验室准备开始实验。记者孙思奇带我们来看这个可能对暗物质和其他太空粒子的前沿研究至关重要的新设备。The lab space is 2,400 meters underground. At that depth, the flux of cosmic radiation, which exists everywhere in the universe, is only one hundred-millionth the level of what it is on the earth's surface. 实验室位于地下2400米处。在那个深度，宇宙中无处不在的宇宙辐射通量只有地球表面的一亿分之一。This ultra-low-radiation environment is essential for scientists attempting to detect and study dark matter. 这种超低辐射环境对试图探测和研究暗物质的科学家来说至关重要。10 research teams from a slew of universities including Tsinghua and Shanghai Jiao Tong have already moved in. 来自清华大学和上海交通大学等多所大学的10个研究团队已经进驻。Li Yuanjing, Deputy Chief Director of Construction of Jinping Underground Lab Facility李元景，锦屏地下实验室建设副总指挥The facility provides excellent conditions for experiments on the study of dark matter, the measurement of neutrinos and research in nuclear astrophysics. In addition, it can also help researchers that study Deep Earth physics. This could become a world-class multi-disciplinary research center. 该设施为暗物质研究、中微子测量和核天体物理学研究的实验提供了良好的条件。此外，它还可以帮助研究地球深处物理的研究人员。这将成为世界级的多学科研究中心。The first phase of the project opened in 2010, multiple achievements in dark matter research were made by Chinese scientist working in the underground lab. Phase 2, which officially opened today, is part of China's 14th Five-Year Plan, and is almost 80 times the size of the phase 1, providing researchers with more than enough lab space to take their experiments to the next level.该项目的第一阶段于2010年启动，在地下实验室工作的中国科学家在暗物质研究方面取得了多项成就。第二阶段于今天正式启动，是中国“十四五”规划的一部分，几乎是第一阶段的80倍，为研究人员提供了足够的实验室空间，将他们的实验提升到一个新的水平。3. A-SHARES REMAIN MIRED BELOW KEY LEVELSA股仍深陷关键水平以下的泥潭Chinese mainland investors today shrugged off news of another Moody's credit outlook cut, this time for the country's banks. Timothy Pope has a rundown of the trading action.中国内地投资者今天对穆迪再次下调信贷前景的消息不屑一顾，这次下调的是中国的银行。记者Timothy Pope简要介绍了交易行为。China's A-share market remained tepid today despite the news of November's export growth. The figures were a big turn-around from October and beat most estimates, but didn't prompt a turn-around for the stock markets. The Shanghai Composite closed less than a tenth of one percent lower, seemingly stuck below the key 3000 point level. Likewise the Shenzhen Component remains below its psychologically important 10 thousand point mark.尽管有11月出口增长的消息，中国A股市场今天仍然不温不火。这些数据与10月份相比有了很大的转变，超出了大多数人的预期，但并没有促使股市出现转变。上证综合指数收盘下跌不到0.1%，似乎一直徘徊在关键的3000点以下。同样，深圳板块仍低于其心理上重要的1万点大关。The Chinese Ministry of Finance's announcement late yesterday of draft rules that would allow the huge National Social Security Fund more leeway in its stock market investments, and be allowed to invest in stock futures, should have given a boost to sentiment. The pension fund has more than 400 billion US dollars worth of assets under management, and the changes would allow it to allocate as much as 40 percent of that to stocks. But these are still just proposals open to market feedback until early January.中国财政部昨天晚些时候宣布的规则草案将允许庞大的国家社会保障基金在股市投资中有更多的回旋余地，并允许投资股票期货，这本应提振市场情绪。该养老基金管理着价值4000多亿美元的资产，这些变化将使其能够将其中40%的资产分配给股票。但在1月初之前，这些仍只是向市场反馈的建议。And ratings agency Moody's either cut the outlook for, or put downgrade warnings on, more Chinese state-owned companies - including banks and insurers - late yesterday. But mainland investors didn't seem too concerned. ICBC, Agricultural Bank of China and Bank of China all rose, as did many insurance firms.评级机构穆迪昨日晚些时候下调了包括银行和保险公司在内的更多中国国有企业的前景，或对其发出降级警告。但大陆投资者似乎并不太担心。中国工商银行、中国农业银行和中国银行都上涨了，许多保险公司也上涨了。Several of the most well known Chinese companies, which are listed in Hong Kong, had their outlooks changed to negative by Moody's yesterday. That dragged the Hang Seng 0.7 percent lower.穆迪昨日将在香港上市的几家最知名的中国公司的前景改为负面。这拖累恒生指数下跌0.7%。Alibaba was one of the firms which had its outlook downgraded to negative. Its shares sank to a 13 month low this morning once investors got a chance to react to the news, but recovered some of that ground during the session and ended 0.6 percent lower. It was a similar story for Tencent, China Mobile, CNOOC, and Dongfeng Motor.阿里巴巴是前景被下调为负面的公司之一。一旦投资者有机会对这一消息做出反应，其股价今天上午跌至13个月低点，但在交易日收复了部分失地，收盘下跌0.6%。腾讯、中国移动、中海油和东风汽车的情况也类似。EV maker NIO managed to lock in another session of gains though after reports that the firm is considering spinning off its battery business. NIO has been talking a lot lately about cutting costs, trying to bring more manufacturing in-house and improving efficiency in order to get the company making a profit. Its stock added 2.1 percent.电动汽车制造商蔚来设法锁定了另一个交易日的涨幅，尽管此前有报道称该公司正在考虑剥离其电池业务。蔚来最近一直在谈论削减成本，试图引入更多的内部制造，提高效率，以使公司盈利。其股价上涨2.1%。Tokyo's Nikkei 225 retreated in the shadow of upcoming US jobs data. The markets will be watching that data for clues as to when the US Federal Reserve will start cutting interest rates. According to market watchers, there just weren't many excuses for investors to buy, especially after a poor session on Wall Street overnight and the Nikkei shed 1.8 percent.在即将公布的美国就业数据的阴影下，日经225指数下跌。市场将关注这些数据，以寻找美联储何时开始降息的线索。据市场观察人士称，投资者没有太多理由购买，尤其是在华尔街隔夜表现不佳，日经指数下跌1.8%之后。Energy companies took the biggest hit after crude oil prices sank to six month lows. They rebounded off that a little bit today, but it was too late for refiner Eneos' shares, which lost 2.3 percent, and extractor Inpex, which shed almost 3 percent.在原油价格跌至六个月低点后，能源公司受到的打击最大。他们今天略有反弹，但炼油商Eneos的股价下跌2.3%，采掘商Inpex的股价下跌近3%，为时已晚。#热词加油站Deputy [ˈdepjuti] 副手Shrug [ʃrʌɡ] 耸肩Radiation [ˌreɪdiˈeɪʃn] 辐射Leeway [ˈliːweɪ] 自由活动的空间订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大师访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

WORLD'S FIRST 4TH-GENERATION NUCLEAR POWER PLANT BEGINS OPERATION IN CHINA全球首座第四代核电站商运投产The Shidaowan high-temperature, gas-cooled nuclear power plant, officially went into commercial operation in Rongcheng County, Shandong Province today.山东荣成的华能石岛湾高温气冷堆核电站于今日（12/06）正式投入商业运行。The facility is considered to be the world's first fourth generation nuclear power plant. The technology behind it was developed domestically by the China Hua'neng Group, Tsinghua University and China National Nuclear Corporation. The power plant has an installed capacity of 200,000 kilowatts. After passing a 168-hour stable operation test, the project was officially put into commercial operation to continuously deliver clean and stable power to the grid【网格】. 该核电站被认为是世界上第一座第四代核电站，由中国华能集团、清华大学和中国核工业集团公司共同开发。电站装机容量为20万千瓦。在通过168小时稳定运行测试后，该项目正式投入商业运营，持续向电网输送清洁稳定的电力。3. GOLD PRICE REACHES NEW HIGH, AFFECTED BY US ECONOMIC SENTIMENT美国经济数据糟糕 黄金价格屡创新高Prices of gold futures set new record this Monday at exchanges around the world, driving retail gold prices to a new highs as well.

In November, the price was again on the upswing, and this week it reached a new high of 627 yuan per gram. Many customers who had planned to buy large quantities of gold jewelry have changed their minds. 店内记录显示，自9月初以来，黄金价格一直在每克600元以上。进入11月，金价再次上扬，本周更是创下了每克627元的新高。许多原本计划大量购买黄金首饰的顾客改变了主意。上海市民“I'm planning to buy only 50 to 60 grams. The price has risen to more than 600 yuan per gram, it's too high.”“准备买五六十克的吧 现在600多（元一克）了 太厉害了”Experts say that gold prices may rise further on a possible slowdown in the US economy as well as anticipated US rate cuts early next year, which could pave the way for an upward trend in gold prices and gold-related equities. Spot gold crossed 2,100 dollars per ounce to hit a record high in early Asian trade on Monday, and stood above 2,000 dollars per ounce today. 专家称，由于美国经济可能放缓，以及预计明年初美国降息，金价可能会进一步上涨，这可能会为金价和黄金相关股票的上涨趋势铺平道路。周一亚洲市场早盘，现货黄金突破每盎司2100美元，创下历史新高，今天又突破每盎司2000美元。Liu Shiyao, Researcher ZJTF Futures Research Institute刘诗瑶紫金天风期货研究所贵金属研究员“Monday's sharp rise was also a continuation of last week's negative view about the U.S. market.

Zhang Shixuan has the story.中国成立了一个国家级研发中心，旨在完善氢燃料电池——不仅用于汽车，还用于各行各业。记者张诗旋带来报道。Hydrogen is a clean fuel that can be extracted from water, and when consumed to generate power, water is the only biproduct. No fossil fuels, no pollution. It is regarded as one of the cleanest energy options, with potential for use even in aviation and shipping. But a couple of issues have so far slowed the widespread adoption of hydrogen power. The first is cost.氢气是一种清洁燃料，可以从水中提取，消耗氢气发电时，水是唯一的副产品。没有化石燃料，没有污染。它被认为是最清洁的能源之一，甚至有可能用于航空和航运。但迄今为止，有几个问题阻碍了氢能的广泛应用。首先是成本问题。Lu Bingbing, General Manager  Shanghai Hydrogen Propulsion Technology卢兵兵 上海捷氢科技总经理“The cost for hydrogen fuel cells have been lowered from 20,000 yuan per kilowatt in 2015, to 3,500 yuan now. And the usage cost across the fuel cells' entire lifecycle is still higher than that in fossil fuel and pure electric ones. We should work on both hardware and the cost for hydrogen itself, including the production and transportation of hydrogen. When the cost for hydrogen reaches 25 yuan per kilograms, and the cost for fuel cells reaches 1,000 yuan per kilowatt, it can will be ready for large-scale commercial applications.”“从2015年16年的2万块钱每千瓦，现在已经到了基本上3500块钱每千瓦这个水平。当然我们燃料电池现在全生命周期的使用成本还是比燃油，或者比纯电的要贵一些。我们应该在硬件和氢本身的成本上下功夫，包括氢的生产和运输。当氢气成本达到每公斤 25 元，燃料电池成本达到每千瓦 1000 元时，就可以进行大规模商业应用了。”Lu says, to lower the costs, the industry should work on the key materials in battery stacks. And that will be one of the main tasks for the national level R&D center. 13 companies, institutions and research institutes signed agreements to join the center.卢兵兵说，为了降低成本，产业界应该在电池组的关键材料上下功夫。这将是国家级研发中心的主要任务之一。13家公司、机构和研究机构签署了加入该中心的协议。Sun Shigang, Academician Chinese Academy of Sciences孙世刚 中国科学院院士“The hydrogen fuel cells nowadays require platinum【铂】 as a catalyst. This is a limited resource - 90% of it comes from South Africa. Only 0.4% is found in China. So, it's important for us to develop a new generation of catalysts【催化剂】. China is required to reach its carbon emissions peak and carbon neutrality in a shorter time compared with developed nations. So, we need big changes in our in energy structure. We have to accelerate our development of new technologies and businesses.”“现在的氢燃料电池需要铂作为催化剂。铂是一种有限的资源，其中90%来自南非。只有 0.4%产自中国。因此，开发新一代催化剂对我们来说非常重要。与发达国家相比，中国需要在更短的时间内达到碳排放峰值，实现碳中和。因此，我们需要对能源结构进行重大变革。我们必须加快新技术和新业务的发展。”In 2021, China announced the first batch of demonstration cities for hydrogen powered vehicle development. Cities in the Yangtze River Delta Region including Shanghai, Suzhou, Nantong and Jiaxing were on the list. Shanghai's Jiading District, where the R&D center was announced, has been in the field for more than 2 decades. It created the first fuel cell industry park in China, gathering more than 80 hydrogen energy firms. In 2021, its revenue already topped more than 10 billion yuan.2021年，中国公布了首批氢动力汽车发展示范城市名单。包括上海、苏州、南通和嘉兴在内的长三角地区城市榜上有名。宣布成立研发中心的上海嘉定在这一领域已有20多年的历史。它创建了中国首个燃料电池产业园，聚集了80多家氢能企业。2021年，其营业收入已超过100亿元。#热词加油站pediatric /ˌpi:dɪ'ætrɪk/【小儿科的】nucleic /njuːˈkleɪɪk/【核酸】 antibiotics /ˌæntɪbaɪˈɒtɪks/【抗生素】catalysts /ˈkætəlɪsts/【催化剂】platinum /ˈplætɪnəm/【铂】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

The new energy products are gradually becoming a major segment of the country's exports. Lei Shuran has more.随着世界大多数国家越来越多地向绿色能源转型，以减少气候变化的影响，许多中国公司凭借政府的支持和我国庞大的制造能力，已成为全球无碳能源领域的市场领导者。新能源产品正逐渐成为中国出口的主要部分。记者雷舒然带来更多报道。China's new energy sector, driven by strong global demand and enhanced product competitiveness, is propelling the country's exports. That includes electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries, and solar cells. Latest customs data shows that in the first three quarters of the year, China's outbound shipment value of the three products rocketed by more than 40-percent, to nearly 800-billion yuan. That accounts for 4.5-percent of the country's total exports during the period. JinkoSolar, a major solar module provider, exemplifies this trend, with over 80-percent of its business now derived from exports.  The company says its global module shipments exceeded 150 giga-watts by the end of the first quarter, making it the world's first solar module provider to achieve that level.在全球需求强劲和产品竞争力增强的推动下，中国的新能源产业正在推动中国的出口。其中包括电动汽车、锂离子电池和太阳能电池。海关最新数据显示，今年前三季度，中国这三种产品的出境货运价值猛增40%以上，达到近8000亿元人民币，这占同期中国出口总额的 4.5%。晶科能源是太阳能组件的主要供应商，也是这一趋势的典型代表，目前其业务的80% 以上来自出口。该公司表示，截至第一季度末，其全球组件出货量已超过1.5亿瓦，成为全球首家达到这一水平的太阳能组件供应商。Qian Jing, Vice President JinkoSolar钱晶 晶科能源副总裁“The main reasons behind that include the strong demand driven by the carbon neutrality【中立】 goals of most countries, they have adopted increasingly regulations of limits. Secondly, in supply side, the increasing competitiveness of our products in terms of technology performance and costs, we are far beyond our foreign competitors in these fields. It's manufacturing excellence which can transimitted the latest and advanced technology from laboratories to the mass productuion lines at the lowest costs.”“这背后的主要原因包括，大多数国家在碳中和目标的驱动下需求旺盛，它们采取了越来越多的限制法规。其次，在供应方面，我们的产品在技术性能和成本方面的竞争力不断增强，在这些领域我们远远超越了国外竞争对手。这就是卓越的制造能力，它能以最低的成本将最新的先进技术从实验室转移到大规模生产线上。”The rising demand for solar panels also benefits upstream companies, such as a silicon【硅】 maker in Suzhou, experiencing increased demand for its products due to the popularity of Chinese solar panel products globally over the past few years.太阳能电池板需求的增长也使上游企业受益，例如苏州的一家硅料生产商，由于过去几年中国太阳能电池板产品在全球受到欢迎，对其产品的需求有所增加。Song Hao, Assistant Vice President (Securities) GCL Technology Holdings宋昊 协鑫科技控股有限公司助理副总裁“All of our clients now have export businesses. So, the growing overseas demand for their products is also encouraging us to increase our production. In the next few years, we expect the demand to grow by 10 to 20 percent annually. To us, that means there will be a yearly demand of over 200,000 tonnes of polysilicon.”“我们所有的客户现在都有出口业务。因此，海外市场对其产品日益增长的需求也促使我们提高产量。未来几年，我们预计每年的需求量将增长10%到20%。对我们来说，这意味着每年多晶硅的需求量将超过200,000吨。”Despite the sector's success, experts caution that future market share might be influenced by external factors, urging sustained efforts to continue export momentum. 尽管该部门取得了成功，但专家们提醒说，未来的市场份额可能会受到外部因素的影响，因此他们将继续努力，保持出口势头。Cheng Xin, Partner Bain & Company成鑫 贝恩公司合伙人“In some of the European markets, there is a big inventory of China products in the warehouse, which may take months to absorb. So, this give a very strong signal to all the Chinese players that they need to seriously consider the differentiation versus the other competitors given this significant oversupply situation and before they make extra investment decision. Some of the countries have push out local production encouragement. So, all of these signals, are pushing Chinese company to seriously consider a more sustainable global footprint to support the long term growth.”“在欧洲市场，仓库里有大量的中国产品库存，可能需要几个月的时间才能消化。这向所有中国企业发出了一个非常强烈的信号，即在严重供过于求的情况下，他们需要认真考虑与其他竞争对手的差异化，然后再做出额外的投资决定。一些国家已经开始鼓励本地生产。因此，这些所有的信号都在促使中国企业认真考虑更可持续的全球布局，以支持长期增长。”According to Natixis, a French corporate and investment bank, China has nearly monopolized【垄断】 global solar cell exports, accounting for 80-percent of the total last year, while also holding significant shares in lithium-ion battery and electric vehicle exports.法国外贸银行，即一家法国企业与投资银行的数据显示，中国几乎垄断了全球太阳能电池出口，去年占全球出口总量的80%，同时在锂离子电池和电动汽车出口方面也占有相当大的份额。#热词加油站mandatory /ˈmændətəri/【强制性的】symptoms /ˈsɪmptəm/【症状】neutrality /njuːˈtræləti/【中立】monopolized /məˈnɒpəlaɪzd/【垄断】silicon /ˈsɪlɪkən/【硅】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Many companies active in the sector gathered in Shanghai at the weekend for the Global Data Ecosystem Conference. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan was there to find out what kind of data is being bought and sold, and whether the data trade in China is secure.去年，中国的数据交易量占全球总量的13.4%。本周末，许多活跃在数据交易领域的公司齐聚上海，参加全球数据生态系统大会。记者张诗旋在现场了解了数据买卖的种类，以及中国的数据交易是否安全。Where we go; What we buy; Who we are⋯ To someone, we're data.我们去哪里；我们买什么；我们是谁......对某些人来说，我们就是数据。“We need data. Data is the oil in the 21st century. ”“我们需要数据。数据就是21世纪的石油。”If it's regarded as critical as crude - it's going to be valuable, and serve as a foundation for a wide variety of businesses. Just as oil needs to be refined; data needs to be collected, sifted【筛选】 and analysed for it to be worth something. And in a country like China - with 1.4 billion people - there's a mountain of data out there. Let's start with a look at the nation's vast road transport network.如果数据像石油一样重要，那么它就很有价值，并成为各种业务的基础。就像石油需要提炼一样，数据也需要经过收集、筛选和分析才能发挥价值。而在中国这样一个拥有14亿人口的国家，数据堆积如山。我们先来看看中国庞大的公路运输网。Xu Saihua, Chairman & CEO /// Shanghai Jinron Digits Technology徐赛花 上海金润联汇数字科技有限公司董事长兼首席执行官“When a car passes by an ETC on the expressway, there's the information on the plate, the owner, the mileage, the time, the direction and the traffic fee.”“当一辆车过了ETC上高速，这辆车的车牌，车主，行驶的行程里程数，经过时间，行驶方向以及通行费的信息都有了。”ETC, or Electronic Toll Collection forms an online system which allows nonstop passage of freight vehicles. As of the end of 2019, there already nearly 200 million cars equipped with an ETC device. But who would want data from road toll gates?ETC即电子收费系统，是一种允许货运车辆不停车通行的线上系统。截至2019年底，已有近2亿辆汽车安装了ETC。但谁会想要公路收费站的数据呢？Xu Saihua, Chairman & CEO /// Shanghai Jinron Digits Technology徐赛花 上海金润联汇数字科技有限公司董事长兼首席执行官“In the past, traditional financial institutions were hesitant to enter the road cargo transport industry. They think it's of high risks. There were internet platforms offering loans with annual interest rate as high as more than 30%. Now, we some banks are cooperating with us. They can get logistics operation information, and get data support after loan issuance【发行】. They are providing a less than 5% interest rate.”“以前传统金融机构根本就不敢进入货运行业，因为觉得这个风险高。现在我们合作的几家银行开始能够获得比如说这些物流的经营信息，及时地跟踪，他还贷中、贷后还能够有一些数据提供。他们的企业资金成本都在5%以内。”There have also been data products that can help insurance companies decide a reasonable price for different vehicles' insurance. These were first listed on the Shanghai Data Exchange last year.此外，还有一些数据产品可以帮助保险公司决定不同车辆保险的合理价格。去年，这些产品首次在上海数据交易所上市。Zhang Shixuan Reporter张诗旋 记者“The annual trading volume of data products at the Shanghai Data Exchange exceeded 100 million yuan last year, and this year's on-exchange trading volume is expected to exceed 1 billion yuan. But where is all this growth coming from?”“去年，上海数据交易所的数据产品年交易额超过1亿元，今年的场内交易额预计将超过10亿元。不过，这些增长从何而来？”Tang Qifeng, General Manager /// Shanghai Data Exchange汤奇峰 上海数据交易所总经理“China goes through unique ways quite different with the other countries typically quite different with the US and Europe. In the US you can find a lot of things is organized by a commercial company. But in China we take the data product like a data asset, so a lot of the market function should play by like us. They have the asset, they can use the asset using different roles. In the history, you use the cash to invest a company, but in this area, you can use your data asset to invest a company. Also data asset is very interesting since it goes to the securities areas. ”“中国采取了与其他国家，通常是与美国和欧洲迥然不同的独特方式。在美国，你会发现很多事情都是由商业公司组织的。但在中国，我们将数据产品视为数据资产，因此很多市场功能都应像我们一样发挥作用。他们拥有资产，他们可以用不同的角色来使用资产。在过去，你用现金投资一家公司，但在这个领域，你可以用你的数据资产来投资一家公司。数据资产也非常有趣，因为它涉及证券领域。”Whenever data collection is mentioned, the questions of privacy and security are raised. It's a subject the industry is vocal about.每当提到数据收集，隐私和安全问题就会被提出来。这也是业界热议的话题。Zhao Xingxing, Vice President /// Shanghai Jinron Digits Technology赵星星 上海金润联汇数字科技有限公司副总裁“All the data products are not allowed for cache【缓存】. Banks send a requirement to the API connector, and enter a firewall to access the intranet【内联网】, where the database gives the bank a credit score. And the score will get to the bank after crossing another firewall.”“所有的数据产品是不允许它进行缓存的。银行会发送一个请求，这个请求通过数据API接口的形式，然后要通过一个互联网跟内网的防火墙进去之后，我在我的结果库里面进行搜寻到这个人所对应的信用分数，这个地方我们又要跨一层防火墙，把这个结果返回给银行。”Jinron Digits Technology says its data products have been accessed more than 20 million times this year, and each instance is recorded to guard against illegal use. At this weekend's Global Data Ecosystem Conference in Shanghai, security and data sovereignty【主权】 were high on the agenda.上海金润联汇数字科技有限公司表示，其数据产品今年已被访问超过2000万次，每次访问都会被记录下来，以防止非法使用。本周末于上海举行的全球数据生态系统大会上，安全和数据主权被列为重要议题。Lars B?umann, China Ambassador /// International Data Spaces AssociationLars Bäumann IDSA国际数据空间协会驻中国大使“The concept of data sovereignty means that you can decide what you share, how long you share, and also what not to share, and also to say what is allowed to do with my data and what is not allowed. And I feel that also China is very interested in that because people are afraid to put their data on some data platform and then the data stays there forever. There is really fast progress. It's really China speed like we say in Germany.”“数据主权的概念意味着，你可以决定分享什么、分享多久、不分享什么，也可以决定允许用我的数据做什么、不允许做什么。我觉得中国对此也非常感兴趣，因为人们害怕把自己的数据放到某个数据平台上，然后数据就永远留在那里了。进步真的很快。就像我们在德国说的那样，这真的是中国速度。”These data experts want more effort to be made to encourage institutions and companies to share their data.这些数据专家希望做出更多努力，鼓励机构和公司共享数据。Piero Scaruffi, Dean and founder of Silicon Valley Institute of Artificial Intelligence, USA皮埃罗·斯加鲁菲 美国硅谷人工智能研究院院长、创始人“It would be nice to have an international institution, part of the United Nations or not, that talks to governments and finds out which data are not sensitive, which data we should be sharing.”“如果能有一个国际机构，无论是不是联合国的一部分，能与各国政府对话，找出哪些数据不敏感，哪些数据我们应该共享，那该多好。”A trading chain was formed between 7 provincial level data exchanges in China on Saturday, when Shanghai also announced the first batch of data product brands, covering finance, manufacturing, transport, sports and technology.上周六，中国7家省级数据交易所之间形成了交易链条，同时上海也公布了首批数据产品品牌，涵盖金融、制造、交通、体育和科技等领域。#热词加油站sift /sɪft/【筛选】issuance /ˈɪʃu(ː)əns/【发行】intranet /ˈɪntrənet/【内联网】cache /kæʃ/【缓存】sovereignty /ˈsɒvrənti/【主权】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

NEWS ON 11/241.EXPERTS IN CHINA STUDIES GATHER IN SHANGHAI TO DISCUSS CHINA'S PAST & PRESENT世界中国学大会·上海论坛在沪举办2.THE GREAT COMET MUSICAL WILL MAKE ITS ASIAN DEBUT IN SHANGHAI NEXT YEAR亚洲首演！百老汇沉浸式音乐剧《大彗星》明年降临上海----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1.EXPERTS IN CHINA STUDIES GATHER IN SHANGHAI TO DISCUSS CHINA'S PAST & PRESENT世界中国学大会·上海论坛在沪举办Around 400 scholars from home and abroad shared their interpretation of China’s past and present at the World Conference on China Studies Shanghai Forum today. Reporter Zhang Hong takes a look.在今天（11/24）举行的世界中国学大会·上海论坛上，400余位海内外知名专家学者分享了他们对中国过去和现在的解读。本台记者张泓带来详细报道。Three scholars were given the Distinguished Contribution to China Studies award at today’s opening ceremony. Canadian historian Timothy Brook was one of them. In addition to serving as the general editor of Harvard University Press “History of Imperial China”, he has published extensively on China in the world with a major focus on the Ming dynasty.在今天的开幕式上，三位学者被授予“中国学贡献奖”。加拿大历史学家卜正民（Timothy Brook）是其中之一。除了担任哈佛大学出版社《哈佛中国史》丛书的总编辑，他还在世界范围内发表了大量关于中国的著作，其中以明朝为主要研究对象。Timothy Brook, Professor Emeritus of Dept. of History, University of British Columbia卜正民 加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚大学历史学荣休教授“I think the importance of getting foreigners to understand Chinese history is to make Chinese history not appear to be something that is far away and strange and different. Whether this has an impact on how we understand each other today, I think it does because if you can reduce the ignorance Chinese have of the world and the world has of China, then you reduce the animosity【敌意】 that can arise between people outside China and Chinese people.”“我认为，让外国人了解中国历史的重要性在于让中国历史不再显得遥远、陌生和与众不同。我认为这会对我们今天如何相互理解产生影响，因为如果能减少中国人对世界和世界对中国的无知，那么就能减少中国以外的人和中国人之间可能产生的敌意。”Academic Zhang Weiwei talked about modern Chinese civilization.学者张维为以“中华文明的现代性”为题发表了主旨演讲。Zhang Weiwei, Distinguished Professor & Dean of China Institute, Fudan University张维为 复旦大学特聘教授、中国研究院院长“It’s the combination of tradition and modernity that makes China rise and China civilization tick. This concept of ‘minben zhuyi’, people’s livelihood first, is very traditional, very Confucius. It’s contained in the ‘Shangshu’, which was 2,500 years ago. We look at China performing today. China has eradicated【根除】 extreme poverty. China has equated world’s largest middle class, 400 million. All these have to do with the government’s policy focusing on people’s livelihood first.”“正是传统与现代的结合，让中国崛起，让中华文明熠熠生辉。民本主义的理念非常传统，非常孔子。它载于 2500 年前的《尚书》。我们看看今天中国的表现。中国消除了极端贫困。中国拥有世界上最大的 4 亿中等收入群体。这一切都与政府民生优先的政策有关。”Rachel Murphy, a professor from the University of Oxford, has been looking at labor migration in China since the late 1990s.牛津大学教授雷切尔·墨菲（Rachel Murphy）自 20 世纪 90 年代末以来一直在研究中国的农民工话题。Rachel Murphy, Professorn of Chinese Development & Society, University of Oxford雷切尔·墨菲 英国牛津大学中国发展与社会研究教授“There’s many aspects of social change and transformation in China that echoes or resonates with experiences in other countries. But then there’s also unique aspects of the Chinese context that affect how this plays out and how this affects people. And that is part of the value of Chinese studies and area studies, because the emphasis is on context, on multifaceted【多层面的】 context, on looking at the society, the culture, the politics, the demography altogether in order to understand what’s going on.”“中国社会变革和转型的许多方面都与其他国家的经验相呼应或产生共鸣。但中国的国情也有其独特之处，影响着这一切的发生，影响着中国人民。这也是中国研究和地区研究的价值所在，因为研究的重点在于背景，在于多方面的背景，在于从社会、文化、政治、人口学等多方面来理解正在发生的事情。”Professor Murphy also noted that in the past, Chinese studies was very dominated by western scholarship, but now she sees more scholars from different parts of the world who are contributing to the English language global dialogue about what China is, how China is changing the world and how the world is changing China.墨菲教授还指出，过去的中国研究主要由西方学者主导，但现在她看到更多来自世界不同地区的学者在用英语开展全球对话，探讨中国是什么、中国如何改变世界以及世界如何改变中国。2.THE GREAT COMET MUSICAL WILL MAKE ITS ASIAN DEBUT IN SHANGHAI NEXT YEAR亚洲首演！百老汇沉浸式音乐剧《大彗星》明年降临上海The Broadway musical “Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812” will make its Asian debut at the New Bund 31 Performing Arts Center in Pudong on January 13th.

So, there’s classical and Jazz and rock, hip hop, pop, so any kind of possible music that you can imagine made it into the score and that’s what makes it so interesting.”“还有一点也是这部作品的基石，那就是这部作品融合了多种不同的音乐风格。其中有古典音乐、爵士乐、摇滚乐、嘻哈音乐、流行音乐，你能想象到的任何一种音乐都被融入到了乐谱中，这也是（这部作品）如此有趣的原因。”Award-winning South Korean stage designer Pilyoung Oh had 400 seats removed from the theater’s front row, and added four ring-shape audience pools to the stage, turning it into a more immersive space for audiences to watch the Russian court dances.屡获殊荣的韩国舞台设计师吴弼泳（Pilyoung Oh）从剧院前排移走了400个座位，并在舞台上增设了四个环形观众池座，使观众沉浸式观看俄罗斯宫廷舞蹈。Zhou Xiaowei, Co-director of Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812周笑微《大彗星》中方导演“It’s an immersive show performed in a grand theater, which allows the audience to get very close, just like how we’re talking with each other right now. In some segments, performers even invite spectators to join them on stage.”“它其实是沉浸式和大剧场呈现的综合体，这在全世界也是首例这是非常近距离的体验，近到差不多咱们俩之间的距离，甚至有些桥段演员会拉观众们来加入舞会、狂欢，参与到其中。”Unlike other introduced musical productions, “Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812” is not a copy-paste version from Broadway. It’s an updated, localized version that contains many fresh elements.与其他引进的音乐剧不同，《娜塔莎、皮埃尔和 1812 年的大彗星》不是百老汇版本的复制粘贴。它是一个更新的本地化版本，包含了许多新鲜元素。Zhang Xiaoding, General Manager of Shanghai Grand Theater张笑丁上海大剧院总经理“This time it’s us, the Chinese side, that lead the whole production and the Broadway team offered us a lot of help. We’ve spent nearly 20 years to learn and explore, including introducing a lot of original western shows and created a Chinese version. And now, I believe it’s time for us deliver our achievement to the public.”“这次是完全是以我们为主导的，而且百老汇的这样一个团队也是给了我们一个非常大的一个支撑，除了音乐和唱词没有变之外，其他的我们都做了升级版。我们觉得是时候我们来做一个创新融合的作品的时候，那这个过程其实我们用了20多年的时间，那这20多年我们用引进剧目和中文版剧目，包括原创剧目都在是一个学习和探索的过程，现在是要交一份答卷，给大家呈现一个剧目的成果的时候。”The musical “Natasha, Pierre and The Great Comet of 1812” made its off-Broadway debut in 2012, and hit the Broadway stage in 2016.

He was born in Beijing in 1894, but he moved to Shanghai in 1932, and lived here for about two decades. Mei's first visit to Shanghai was for a performance in 1913. He recalled his days in Shanghai as being greatly influential to his career.梅兰芳是中国现代戏剧最著名的京剧大师之一。他于1894年出生于北京，1932年移居上海，并在此生活了约二十年。梅兰芳第一次来上海是1913年的一次演出。他回忆说，在上海的日子对他的艺术生涯影响很大。Ding Jiarong, Associate Researcher Shanghai History Museum丁佳荣 上海市历史博物馆助理研究员“This is a model of a new type of stage at that time. It's different from the traditional opera stage as it is circular. There's an area in the center that can rotate. We also have a playbill here. You can see they put on Peking Operas adapted from La Traviata. Mei Lanfang wrote in his retrospect that he was inspired by the new stage and the operas, so he made revisions to the Peking Opera stage when he returned to Beijing.”“这个模型就是当时新舞台的样子，它除了有弧形的台唇之外，最大的特点是舞台上是可以旋转的。这里有一张戏单，是20世纪《茶花女》改编的京剧。梅兰芳先生在他的《舞台生活40年》里面，他受了新舞台的戏曲的启发，回到北京以后，对京剧的舞台进行了一些革新。”191 exhibits related to Mei's life are on display at the Shanghai History Museum. One of them is an almost-8-meter-long scroll that contains a stage prop that was painted by Mei.上海历史博物馆展出了191件与梅兰芳生平有关的展品。其中有一幅近8米的长卷，内有梅兰芳绘制的舞台道具。观众“Mei Lanfang put on a revised Peking Opera version of "A Dream of the Red Mansions" after returning from Shanghai. This is the surface of a folding fan that was used as a prop. Mei painted the peony【牡丹】. The fan was torn as the plot went on. Mei's friend Xu Boming put the two pieces together onto a scroll【纸卷】and asked calligrapher Wu Changshuo, who is also a fan of Mei, to write a title for it.”“从上海回来后，梅兰芳上演了一出经过改编的京剧《红楼梦》。这是用作道具的折扇的扇面。梅兰芳画的是牡丹。随着剧情的发展，折扇被撕坏了。梅兰芳的朋友许伯明将两片扇面拼接成一幅手卷，并请书法家吴昌朔先生为其题写书名，因为吴昌朔先生也是一个大梅党。”Mei was among the first to bring Peking Opera abroad, and for the first time, a video of an overseas performance is on display.梅兰芳是最早将京剧带出国门的人之一，这是首次展出海外演出的视频。Zhou Qunhua, Director Shanghai History Museum周群华 上海市历史博物馆馆长“Mei Lanfang visited the Soviet Union in 1935 and later, went on to the United States, where he introduced this traditional Chinese art to overseas audiences. We are very happy to present this footage【镜头】 to the public after 88 years. While foreign audiences couldn't understand Chinese, I believe they still got a taste of the charm of this art form. ”“梅先生曾于1935年访问苏联，后续去美国出访，向海外观众介绍了中国传统艺术。我们很高兴能在 88 年后向公众展示这段视频。虽然外国观众听不懂中文，但我相信他们还是领略到了这种艺术形式的魅力。”The exhibition will run through February 25th.         展览将持续到2月25日。2.CHINESE INVESTORS AWAIT FRESH STIMULUS MEASURES中国投资者期待新的财政刺激措施The Chinese mainland markets retreated today. Investors appear to be hanging on for more signs of concrete stimulus from the Chinese Government. But we're not likely to see much on that front until after the Central Economic Work Conference meeting next month in Beijing. The Shanghai Composite Index declined 0.8 percent today while the Shenzhen Component was down 1.4 percent.今天，中国大陆股市出现回落。投资者似乎在等待中国政府出台更多具体财政刺激措施的迹象。不过，要等到下个月在北京召开中央经济工作会议之后，才可能看到这方面的迹象。上证综指今天下跌了0.8%，深证成指下跌了1.4%。New energy stocks were among those under the most pressure. Blue chip solar stock LONGi Green Energy was down more than 2 percent. And in Shenzhen, China's EV battery maker stocks were in retreat as well, with CATL slipping 2 percent and Eve Energy off 2.5 percent.新能源股是压力最大的股票之一。太阳能蓝筹股隆基绿能跌幅超2%。在深圳，中国电动汽车电池生产商的股票也出现回落，宁德时代下跌2%，亿纬锂能下跌2.5%。Real estate stocks also pulled back after yesterday's gains, with investors locking in quick profits. There were also falls for materials, industrials and consumer shares.房地产股在昨日上涨后也有所回落，投资者锁定快速获利。材料股、工业股和消费股也都出现下跌。Around the region, sentiment remained weak in Hong Kong with the Hang Seng ending flat, despite some strong performances based on results. Healthcare, industrials and financials stocks offset those gains.尽管有一些基于业绩的强劲表现，香港股市依然处于疲弱状态，恒生指数收盘持平。医疗保健、工业和金融股抵消了涨幅。Baidu though was up 4.5 percent -- hitting a 5 week high this afternoon - as third quarter revenue beat estimates, rising 6 perceent to 34.5 billion yuan -- or 4.7 billion US dollars. Baidu also said it has a sufficient stockpile【囤聚的物资】 of AI chips to support app and service development for now, and US restrictions on exporting chips to China will have little impact on the company in the short term. But CEO Robin Li says the restrictions will eventually lead to a consolidation among Chinese large language model AIs, of which he says there are currently more than 230.百度第三季度营收超出预期，达到345亿元人民币（约合47亿美元），同比增长6%，今天下午创下5周新高，上涨4.5%。百度还表示，公司目前有足够的人工智能芯片储备来支持应用和服务的开发，美国对中国出口芯片的限制在短期内对公司影响不大。但首席执行官李彦宏说，这些限制最终将导致中国大型语言模型人工智能的整合，他说目前中国有230多家人工智能公司。Short video app Kuaishou also reported results last night and its stock added 2.9 percent today. The latest quarterly results showed Kuaishou turned a more than 2 billion yuan net profit, compared to a 2.7 billion yuan loss during the same period last year.短视频应用快手也于昨晚公布了财报，其股价今天上涨了2.9%。最新季度财报显示，快手实现了超过20亿元的净利润，而去年同期则亏损了27亿元。And over in Japan the Nikkei 225 rebounded after two sessions of declines, adding 0.3 percent. It's still not back to its 33 year high, but today got some support from a dip in the Japanese yen which took pressure off exporter stocks and saw some investors buy back into companies like automakers and Japanese shipping stocks. Nippon Yusen added 1.3 percent, while on the auto front Mazda added 1.4 percent.在日本，日经225在连续两个交易日下跌后出现反弹，上涨了0.3%。虽然日经225仍未回到33年来的高点，但今天得到了日元下跌的一些支撑，日元下跌减轻了出口股的压力，一些投资者重新买入汽车制造商和日本航运股。日本邮船上涨了1.3%，马自达汽车上涨了1.4%。#热词加油站scroll /skrəʊl/【纸卷】peony /ˈpiːəni/【牡丹】footage /ˈfʊtɪdʒ/【镜头】stockpile /ˈstɒkpaɪl/【囤聚的物资】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Our reporter Zhang Shixuan talked to 2 foreign industrial giants and finds out more about their green solutions.上海市政府发布了一项计划，即到 2025年，上海将拥有150家绿色制造示范企业。记者张诗旋采访了两家外国工业巨头，了解它们的绿色转型方案。The 13 buildings at this factory in Shanghai's Minhang District bring a combined rooftop area of almost 46,000 square meters. They provide a natural advantage for green transformation for the pump manufacturer housed here, to install photovoltaic【光伏的】 panels. The first phase of the installation project was completed in September - more than 7,000 photovoltaic panels have been installed, all from a local supplier. They were put into use last week.位于上海闵行区的这家工厂拥有13栋建筑，屋顶面积总计近46,000平方米。为这家水泵制造商提供了绿色转型的天然优势，即安装光伏电池板。安装项目的第一阶段已于9月完成，共安装了7000多块光伏板，全部由当地供应商提供。它们已于上周投入使用。Stephan Timmermann, Chairman of the Executive Board KSB GroupStephan Timmermann 凯士比集团首席执行官“We are absolute specialists for pumps, for valves and of course for service. We are no specialist for green technology solar panels. And here in China, the partner who helped us to build the solar panales on the roof here in our Shanghai plant, he's just an expert. And we benefit from this expertise in a win-win situation. And I must say the job that was done is absolutely amazing.”“我们绝对是泵、阀门、服务领域的专家。我们不是绿色技术太阳能电池板方面的专家。而在中国，帮助我们在上海工厂的屋顶上建造太阳能电池板的合作伙伴是一位专家，我们从他的专业知识中获益，实现了双赢。他们所做的工作绝对令人惊叹。”By 2025, the company estimates the solar panels will be responsible for 50% of the electricity consumption at the factory. KSB is not alone. foreign pharmaceutical companies are also stepping up their green transformation. With its production lines running non-stop throughout the year, pharmaceutical【制药的】 giant Boehringer Ingelheim now has a zero carbon certificate from the Shanghai Government for its factory in Shanghai's Zhangjiang Science City. Much of the factory's air conditioning system has now been upgraded. The company has introduced new equipment like heat pumps and heat pipes to recycle the heat, as well as a new carbon emission management system.该公司预计，到 2025 年，太阳能电池板的用电量将占工厂用电量的 50%。 不仅是凯士比，国外制药公司也在加紧绿色转型。制药巨头勃林格殷格翰位于上海张江科学城的工厂全年不间断生产，现已获得上海市政府颁发的零碳证书。工厂的大部分空调系统现已升级。该公司引进了热泵和热管等新设备来回收热量，并采用了新的碳排放管理系统。Yin Xuelin, General Manager Boehringer Ingelheim Shanghai Pharmaceuticals殷雪林 勃林格殷格翰总经理“Our heat pipes have the highest investment return rate. We got our costs back in just a few months. For those with slower investment returns like photovoltaic panels, we made our investment back in 6 or 7 years, but they can be used for more than 20 years, which means that after we get our costs back we can be operating at no cost but only saving money for more than ten years.”“我们的三维热管是投资回报率是最高的，大概几个月就收回成本了。像投资回报率比较低的，比如说光伏、屋顶光伏，那我们基本上也是6-7年可以收回我们的投资，它的寿命至少在20年以上。也就是说我6-7年收回投资以后，我后面的十几年其实它就是没有成本在运营，只会给我产生效益。”As of 2021 the factory had already saved 31 million yuan in energy costs, more than 4 times the money spent on its upgrades.   截至 2021 年，该工厂已节约能源成本3100万元，是升级改造费用的4倍多。2.HENRI MATISSE EXHIBITION COMES TO SHANGHAI近300件马蒂斯真迹来沪展出Matisse by Matisse, an exhibition of French modern art master Henri Matisse is now on display at the UCCA Edge gallery in Shanghai, bringing together more than 280 works by Matisse, along with other objects he collected. Reporter Zhang Yue spoke to the exhibition's curator【馆长】 to learn more...法国现代艺术大师亨利·马蒂斯的作品展“马蒂斯的马蒂斯”正在上海UCCA Edge画廊展出，展览汇集了马蒂斯的280多件作品以及他收藏的其他物品。记者张乐采访了此次展览的策展人，带来更多信息。The 11 part exhibit invites visitors to explore how Matisse began as an artist, how he invented Fauvism, and the inspiration he gained from his voyage to Tahiti in the 1930s. All of the exhibits, including the oil paintings, sculptures, and prints, were brought by the Matisse Museum in Le Cateau, the museum is in the artist's hometown in Northern France, and houses one of the world's largest collections of Matisse's works, alongside the Matisse Museum in Nice and the Baltimore Museum of Art in the Unites States. 展览共分11个部分，参观者可以探索马蒂斯如何开始成为一名艺术家、他如何发明野兽派以及他在20世纪30年代塔希提岛之旅中获得的灵感。包括油画、雕塑和版画在内的所有展品均由勒卡托·康布雷齐的马蒂斯美术馆带来，该博物馆位于艺术家的故乡法国北部，是世界上收藏马蒂斯作品最多的博物馆之一，与尼斯马蒂斯博物馆和美国巴尔的摩艺术博物馆齐名。Sophie Le Flamanc, deputy director of Musée Matisse in Le Cateau, said 'Collioure, Sun Street' is one of her favorites.马蒂斯美术馆副馆长 Sophie Le Flamanc 说，《科利乌尔，太阳街》是她最喜欢的作品之一。Sophie Le Flamanc, Deputy Director Musée MatisseSophie Le Flamanc马蒂斯美术馆副馆长“It was the first discovery of the sunlight because Matisse was born in the north of France, and the weather is not very fine. When the first time he went to the south of France in summer, it was a discovery with the color with the light and it changes completely his way of painting, his technique of painting.”“这是第一次发现阳光，因为马蒂斯出生在法国北部，那里的天气不是很好。当他第一次在夏天去法国南部时，他发现了阳光下的色彩，这彻底改变了他的绘画方式和技巧。”Born into a textile family that had been in the business for over 300 years, Matisse studied law in Paris and after gaining his qualification he became a court administrator in his hometown. In 1889, he took to painting while recuperating【康复】from appendicitis.马蒂斯出生于一个有300多年历史的纺织世家，他曾在巴黎学习法律，获得资格后成为家乡的一名法院行政官。1889年，他在阑尾炎休养期间开始画画。Philip Tinari, Director UCCA Center for Contemporary Art田霏宇 尤伦斯当代艺术中心馆长“He's just constantly experimenting, trying new things and finding and he was always in bad health. He had multiple health problems who's in a wheelchair and he's still making these paper cuts when he's well into his 80s.”“他不断尝试新的东西和新的发现，而且他的身体一直不好。他有多种健康问题，现在坐在轮椅上，80多岁了还在做这些剪纸作品。”Matisse's paper cut-outs, were part of work in the later years of his artistic career, is another highlight. This exhibition is the first time that this collection has left the museum and been shipped abroad from France. Before coming to Shanghai, the exhibition was very well received in Beijing earlier this year. 马蒂斯的剪纸作品是其艺术生涯晚期作品的一部分，也是另一大亮点。此次展览是这些藏品首次离开博物馆，从法国运往国外。在来上海之前，该展览于今年早些时候在北京举办，反响强烈。观众“We're just so excited because Matisse is such an important artist, but for so many reasons, he's never really had a comprehensive show in China before and certainly in shanghai. And yet 100 years ago there were modern artists in shanghai discussing the work of Matisse. So he has this very long history in this city even compared with Beijing.”“我们感到非常兴奋，因为马蒂斯是一位如此重要的艺术家，但由于种种原因，他从未在中国举办过真正意义上的全面展览，当然也从未在上海举办过。然而100年前，上海就有现代艺术家在讨论马蒂斯的作品。因此，与北京相比，他在这座城市的历史更加悠久。”The influence of Matisse on China's modern art is also a big highlight. Through works and archival materials by artists including Liu Haisu and Guan Liang, visitors will be able to trace how Matisse's influence spread to China, and its effect on artists in China between the 1920s and 1940s. 马蒂斯对中国现代艺术的影响也是一大亮点。通过刘海粟和关良等艺术家的作品和档案资料，参观者可以追溯马蒂斯的影响如何传播到中国，以及马蒂斯在20世纪20年代至40年代对中国艺术家的影响。The exhibition will run to February 18th next year.展览将持续到明年2月18日。#热词加油站photovoltaic /ˌfəʊtəʊvɒlˈteɪɪk/【光伏的】pharmaceutical /ˌfɑːməˈsuːtɪkl/【制药的】curator /kjʊəˈreɪtə(r) /【馆长】recuperating /rɪˈkuːpəreɪt/【康复】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

The Shanghai Composite and Shenzhen Component each advanced a little less than half of one percent. 今天，中国内地股市上涨。央行决定维持基准利率不变，符合市场预期。上证指数和深证成指分别上涨了不到半个百分点。The rates move saw major banking stocks advancing cautiously.

Crude prices extended their run of gains and PetroChina added almost 1 percent, Sinopec was up as well.在媒体报道欧佩克+正在考虑进一步削减供应以维持油价之后，石油股也有所上涨。原油价格延续涨势，中国石油上涨近1%，中国石化也有所上涨。There was also a general boost to sentiment from investor perceptions of tensions easing following the meeting between the Chinese and US presidents last week.

Earlier today there was a net inflow of funds via the stock connect links after several weeks of net outflows.上周中美元首会晤后，投资者都认为紧张局势有所缓解，这也普遍提振了市场情绪。这可能有助于扭转外国投资进入中国股市的趋势。在连续几周的资金净流出之后，今天早些时候通过股票联通的资金出现了净流入。Markets in Hong Kong also rose, benefitting from the general change in sentiment.香港股市也因受到影响而上涨。The Hang Seng was up 1.9 percent.恒生指数上涨了1.9%。It was announced today that two new companies will be added to the Hang Seng in the next couple of weeks.

Both have shown strong performance so far this year - particularly Li Auto, which is up 105 percent.今日有消息称，未来几周内将有两家新公司加入港股。一家是药企药明康德，另一家是电动汽车企业理想汽车。这两只股票都因预计将于12月4日加入而上涨。迄今为止，这两只股票都表现强劲，尤其是理想汽车，涨幅高达105%。Shares in property developer Sunac jumped 5.9 percent as the company's 9 billion US dollar offshore debt restructuring formally got underway. The company won approval from a Hong Kong court for the plan back in August, and it will see debts swapped intoconvertible【可转换的】bonds backed by its Hong Kong listed shares. This is a good sign for the Chinese property sector as Sunac is one of the few distressed developers to strike a working deal with offshore creditors.房地产开发商融创的股价大涨5.9%，因为该公司90亿美元的海外债务重组正式启动。该公司早在8月份就获得了香港法院对该计划的批准，债务将被转换成由香港上市股票支持的可转换债券。这对中国房地产行业来说是一个好兆头，因为融创是少数几家与海外债权人达成工作协议的受困开发商之一。In Japan, the Nikkei 225 hit a fresh 33 year high in early trade today before reversing course and closing lower.

Last night, Air China became the first domestic carrier【载体】to operate a direct flight from Beijing to San Francisco since the two countries announced a flight increase effective November 9th. Sun Siqi has more. 自今年年初以来，中美之间的直航航班数量一直在攀升。昨晚，中国国际航空公司成为自两国宣布自11月9日起增加航班以来首家开通北京至旧金山直飞航班的国内航空公司。记者孙思奇带来报道。The Air China flight departed from Beijing with more than 200 passengers. 国航航班从北京起飞，载有200多名乘客。The flight increase followed previous agreements to increase passenger flights. The total number of round-trip flights per week has climbed from 18 in January to 24 in May and then to 48 in October. As of November 9th, the weekly flight number cap has been increased to 70. 在此之前，国航已就增加客运航班达成了协议。每周往返航班总数从1月份的18个增加到5月份的24个，10月份又增加到48个。截至11月9日，每周航班数量上限已增至70 个。And ticket prices have decreased -- a round-trip ticket from Shanghai to Los Angeles has dropped from up to 15,000 yuan in January to 7,000 yuan or less. 机票价格也有所下降--从上海到洛杉矶的往返机票已从1月份的高15,000元降7,000元或更低。Qin Ling Aviation Correspondent秦岭 航空领域资深评论员“Before the pandemic, total flights between China and the United States was about 300 per week. So there's still significant room for more. ”“在2019年就是疫情之前，中美之间每周的航班量其实是最多的时候达到每周300班，那么现在其实即使恢复到70班这么一个数据，其实需求的这个差距还是很大的。”At the same time, flights to other countries have also been increasing. The Civil Aviation Administration said in the upcoming winter-spring season, 116 carriers have received approval to operate 13,000 weekly flights to 65 countries, which is roughly 70 percent of the total in the same period in 2019. 与此同时，飞往其他国家的航班也在不断增加。民航局表示，在即将到来的冬春航季，116家航空公司已获准每周运营1.3万个航班，飞往65个国家，约占2019年同期总数的70%。Between October 16th and 22nd, more than 3,800 international passenger flights were carried out, which is more than 50 percent of the pre-pandemic level. Flight numbers to 22 countries including the United Kingdom, Italy and the UAE have approached or even exceeded pre-pandemic levels. 10月16日至22日期间，共执行了3800多个国际客运航班，超过疫情前水平的50%。飞往英国、意大利和阿联酋等22个国家的航班数量已接近甚至超过疫情发生前的水平。2. ELECTRIC eVTOL AIRCRAFT COMPLETE CHINA TEST FLIGHTS中国首个倾旋旋翼电动飞机实现首飞An electric vertical take-off and landing air-craft, or e-VTOL inde'pendently developed by a Chinese start-up has just completed its first round of flight tests. As Lei Shuran reports, it is China's first tilt-rotor elec'tric passenger air-plane.电动垂直起降飞机，或称e-VTOL，由中国一家初创企业独立研发，刚刚完成了第一轮飞行测试。据记者雷舒然报道，这是中国第一架倾转旋翼电动飞机。Its rotors begin turning, and the little plane is off the ground in seconds - no runway needed.  It can operate from just about anywhere.As the first domestic company to make a breakthrough in tilt-rotor technology for eVTOLs, TCab's E20 electric aircraft weighs about 2.4 tons and is more like a bus shuttling【往返运送】between destinations. 它的旋翼开始转动，小飞机在几秒钟内离开地面——不需要跑道。它几乎可以在任何地方操作。作为国内第一家在eVTOL 倾斜旋翼技术上取得突破的企业，TCab的E20电动飞机重约2.4吨，更像是一辆穿梭于目的地之间的公共汽车。YON WUI NG, Founder & CEO /// Shanghai TCab Technology黄雍威 上海时的科技有限公司创始人&首席执行官“If you think about ride sharing business, we can see that for 20 km or below, is mainly using taxi. However, for something between 20 and 50 km as we see the city expands, we are gonna be requiring different ways for transportation. In China, we are gonna be hitting maybe 10 million size of population, almost 20 or 30 cities is going to be hitting this population. ”“如果你考虑拼车业务，我们可以看到，对于20公里或以下，主要是使用出租车。然而，在20到50公里的范围内，随着城市的扩张，我们将需要不同的交通方式。在中国，我们将达到1000万的人口规模，大约有20到30个城市将达到这个人口规模。”The TCab E20 can carry a pilot and up to four passengers, has a payload of 450 kilograms, a cruising speed of 260 kilometers per hour and a top speed of 320. That's five times faster than a taxi, and of course it won't have to stop for the lights. In the future, it could address the demand for short-distance air travel within and between cities.TCab E20可搭载一名飞行员和最多四名乘客，有效载荷为450公斤，巡航速度为每小时260公里，最高时速为320公里。这比出租车快五倍，当然，它不必因为红灯而停下来。未来，它可以满足城市内部和城市之间短途航空旅行的需求。TCab Technology is not the only Chinese firm in the field, despite the higher security and performance requirements of carrying human passengers. Another startup Vertaxi has also just completed the first test flight of its two-ton eVTOL. The model will be unveiled to the public at the upcoming CIIE in Shanghai.尽管搭载人类乘客的安全性和性能要求更高，但TCab科技并不是该领域唯一的中国公司。另一家初创企业上海御风未来航空科技有限公司也刚刚完成了其两吨eVTOL的首次试飞。该模型将在上海举行的中国国际进口博览会上向公众展示。The technology is applicable to more than just a taxi service, and has attracted international interest. Just last month, AutoFlight released its world's first firefighting eVTOL. With more than 95 percent of its components made domestically, a stable supply chain has been an important part of the company's success. 这项技术不仅适用于出租车服务，还引起了国际社会的兴趣。就在上个月，AutoFlight发布了世界上第一个消防eVTOL。该公司95%以上的零部件都是在国内制造的，稳定的供应链是该公司成功的重要组成部分。Xie Jia, Senior Vice President /// Autoflight Aviation Technology谢嘉 上海峰飞航空科技有限公司高级副总裁“The Yangtze Delta area, actually this capacity for the supply chain has been really helpful. And then because we have lots of small components that we can easily get access from the other companies surrounding in this area. Now because the border is open, so we have many plans to go out and visit them. We are targeting Eastern Europe, West Europe and then also US market as well. We're going to have a large existence in the US market.”“在长三角地区，这种供应链能力真的很有帮助。然后因为我们有很多小部件我们可以很容易地从这个地区的其他公司获得。现在因为边境是开放的，所以我们有很多计划去拜访他们。我们的目标是东欧、西欧以及美国市场。我们将在美国市场占有很大的份额。”On October 10th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and four other departments jointly released an outline for the development of China's green aviation【航空】 manufacturing, putting forward a clear timetable. By 2025, there will be electric airplanes in commercial use, there will be eVTOL trial flights, and a feasibility study into hydrogen【氢】 powered airplanes will be completed. That's got some investors excited. 10月10日，工业和信息化部等四部门联合发布了《中国绿色航空制造发展纲要》，提出了明确的时间表。到2025年，将有商业用途的电动飞机，将进行eVTOL试飞，并完成氢动力飞机的可行性研究。这让一些投资者感到兴奋。Warren Zhou, Senior Investment Manager /// Decent Capital周华林 德迅投资投资总监“We believe there is bigger market in China since we have bigger population. So we think eVTOL will have great opportunity in China in the next 5 to 10 years, there will be 8 or 10 thousand eVTOL in the market. ”“我们相信中国有更大的市场，因为我们有更多的人口。所以我们认为未来5到10年eVTOL在中国会有很大的机会，市场上会有8到1万辆eVTOL。”Also last month the world's first eVTOL route was launched between city of Shenzhen and Zhuhai. It takes 30 minutes for a round-trip, with a total flight distance of more than 80 kilometers. Countries such as France, Japan and the US have also joined the trend, with vertiports and flight route networks under construction.同样在上个月，世界上第一条eVTOL航线在深圳和珠海之间开通。往返需要30分钟，总飞行距离超过80公里。法国、日本和美国等国家也加入了这一趋势，正在建设垂直机场和航线网络。#热词加油站 carrier /ˈkæriə(r) /【载体】hydrogen /ˈhaɪdrədʒən/【氢】 shuttling /ˈʃʌtlɪŋ/【往返运送】aviation /ˌeɪviˈeɪʃn/【航空】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Their boat had been adrift for nearly nine hours after running out of fuel and electricity.破冰船上的人员听到巴布亚新几内亚附近海域一艘渔船发出的求救信号后前往救援。船上四人是来自巴布亚新几内亚的渔民。他们的渔船在燃料和电力耗尽后漂流了近九个小时。Xiao Zhimin Captain of Xuelong 2肖志民 "雪龙2"号船长“Both their high-frequency telecommunication and automatic identification systems were not functioning. So, the boat seemingly lost power. Rescuing people is a legal obligation. We must rescue them.”“因为他现在高频也不能用 AIS自动识别系统也找不到 所以他们现在应该是没电的状态 救援这是法定义务 我们救是必须救的”The expedition team aboard Xuelong 2 offered the fishermen food and diesel fuel, charged their batteries, and contacted the China Maritime Search and Rescue Center, Papua New Guinea Maritime Rescue Coordination Center and the families of the crew members. As there were no local rescue ships available, the team decided to lift the boat aboard the icebreaker and take it to designated waters. After 33 hours, the stranded fishing boat and its crew were brought to a rendezvous【会合】 point safely and handed over to a waiting local vessel on Saturday.

NEWS ON 11/101ST MADE-IN-CHINA CRUISE SHIP PROVES COMMERCIAL SUCCESS首艘国产大型邮轮“爱达·魔都号”双十一受热捧-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------Early this month, China's shipbuilding industry marked a new milestone - the delivery of first domestically-built large cruise ship. And if this year's Double Eleven shopping festial is anything to go by, the vessel is set to be a commercial success. As Zhang Shixuan reports, a special livestream was held to sell cruise tickets, and it yielded one quite surprising result.本月初，中国造船业迎来了一个新的里程碑——首艘国产大型邮轮交付。要和今年双十一关联起来的话，那就是这艘邮轮取得了商业上的成功。据记者张诗旋的报道，为销售邮轮船票，企业举行了一场特别的现场直播，并取得了令人惊喜的结果。Nearly 3,000 rooms were handed over to the crew in batchesMore than 70 kitchens of different functions.And more than 50 refrigerated【使冷却】units.To spread our culture, and bring our achievements out.将近三千间房间向船员开放超70几间不同功能的厨房和50几个大小的冷库把我们的文化和成就带出去In less than 2 months, this ship will begin its first commercial journey, which means it will become a home away from home for its first batch of passengers, a place where they can relax, eat and be entertained. All inside this large vessel!在不到两个月的时间里，这艘邮轮将开始其首次商业航行，这意味着它将成为首批乘客的居所，一个可以放松、用餐和娱乐的地方。一切都在这艘邮轮里！There are almost 10 dining places, where passengers can enjoy a buffet, western cuisine and some special Chinese-style food - like hot pot!这里有将近10个餐饮场所，乘客可以在这里享用自助餐、西餐和一些特色中餐——比如火锅！People can even play Mahjong here.人们甚至可以在这里打麻将。Chen Jianwei, General Manager Assistant  Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, CSSC陈剑威 大型邮轮项目建造总监、外高桥造船总经理助理兼邮轮项目部部长“It's entertainment favored by Chinese people. For example, the theater on the ship is cooperating with Mahua Fun Age, tailored to Chinese people's interests.”“这些是中国人喜欢的娱乐方式。比如，邮轮的剧场与开心麻花合作，针对中国人的兴趣爱好量身定制。"The trimmings【装饰材料】on board the ship will certainly be familiar to locals, but this vessel's interior designer believes it'll be popular with people, even if they aren't familiar with traditional Chinese culture and style.邮轮上的装饰肯定是当地人所熟悉的，但这艘邮轮的室内设计师认为，即使不熟悉中国传统文化和风格的人也会喜欢。Jari Mikeal Kauttonen, Cruise Ship Interior Decoration Specialist SH Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, CSSCJari Mikeal Kauttonen 外高桥造船的邮轮内装专家“European and US people, basically, the old ships is a little bit like same. We don't have hot pot in the European ships. So, it's small things they are anxious to see - what is the cabin, how it looks like, the design, everything, because people have different opinions about the Chinese. They're so old then and historical country that everything look like.”“欧美的老式轮船有点像。欧洲邮轮上没有火锅。所以，他们急于看到的都是一些小东西——船舱是什么样的、外观、设计等等，因为人们对中国人有不同的看法。它是看起来是如此古老和历史悠久的国家。”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 本台记者China's first domestically built large cruise ship. Let's put it right here...... Where it's easy to see.中国首艘国产大型邮轮。把它放在这里...... 容易看到的地方。For the past decade, China has been a world leader in the shipbuilding industry. But cruise ships, are extremely complicated, so they weren't part of the original development of the industry in China. The segment is dominated by the western world. China has recently taken its first steps into building cruise ships, and it certainly won't be the last. It's a crystallization【结晶】 of the cooperation between companies from home and abroad - a process of learning and adapting.近十年来，中国造船业一直处于世界领先地位。但邮轮极为复杂，因此并不属于中国造船业最初的发展范畴。这一领域一直由西方国家主导。中国最近迈出了建造邮轮的第一步，当然这也不会是最后一步。这是国内外企业合作的结晶，是一个学习和适应的过程。Jari Mikeal Kauttonen, Cruise Ship Interior Decoration Specialist SH Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, CSSCJari Mikeal Kauttonen 外高桥造船的邮轮内装专家“It has been amazing - the process, the different way how they work. And they have learned how we work in the Europe. It's like mixing the cultures together. For example we had a little bit steel issues in the beginning, and how fast they fix those - it was amazing see that, because in Finland, it's totally different.”“他们的工作过程和工作方式都令人惊叹。他们学到了我们在欧洲的工作方式。这就像把两种文化融合在一起。例如，一开始我们遇到了一些钢铁方面的问题，而他们解决这些问题的速度之快令人惊叹，与在芬兰是完全不同的。”Wu Xiaoyuan, Production Director Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, CSSC吴晓源 大型邮轮项目界面总监、外高桥造船生产总监兼邮轮内装部部长“At the beginning of the project, we contacted almost all Chinese suppliers for luxury Ro-Ro passenger ships and Ro-Pax ships, gathering together to build this cruise ship with us. Chinese suppliers have been participating in all areas' construction. We have 30 to 40 local suppliers joining the ship's secondary project, management and construction. Major first-tier suppliers are from overseas - who directly signed contracts with us. By cooperating with these first-tier suppliers, local companies can more easily improve their project management capabilities. For the cruise ship's interior decorations, all things require project management - the 40,000-square-meter work area, the 40,000-square-meter cabin and the 10,000-square-meter kitchens and refrigerated areas.”“项目伊始，我们就联系了几乎所有的中国豪华客船和载人渡轮供应商，聚集在一起与我们共同建造这艘邮轮。中国供应商参与了所有领域的建造。我们有30到40家本地供应商参与了邮轮的二级项目、管理和建造。主要的一级供应商来自海外——他们直接与我们签订合同。通过与这些一级供应商合作，本地公司可以更容易地提高项目管理能力。对于邮轮的内部装饰——4万平方米的工作区、4万平方米的船舱以及1万平方米的厨房和冷藏区。”If the mega booking made during this year's Double Eleven Shopping Festival is anything to go by, the new vessel will be a commercial success. A single 20-million-yuan order was secured at a livestream on October 24th, booking the entire ship for a 5-day cruise.如果今年“双十一”购物节期间的超大型预订情况属实，那么这艘新邮轮将取得商业上的成功。在10月24日的现场直播中，一单就获得了2000万元的订单，预订了整艘邮轮为期 5天的航行。Gu Pengcheng, Board Secretary CSSC Cruise Technology Development顾鹏程 中船邮轮董事会秘书、战略管理部主任“It is very exciting to see the results from the sales parts. It's warmly welcomed by our Chinese customers, Chinese guests. They're excited about the first Chinese-built cruise. And we have decided that Adora Magic City is going to sail from Shanghai Jan. 1st next year. We're going to start from Shanghai for the 5-night journeys to South Korea and Japan. But it's within our radar that we're going to set those long itineraries【行程】that are going to go through the Maritime Silk Road - itineries to cover different countries. Recently we worked with Taobao and we participated in the Double Eleven event, which is a great success for us. Over 10 million viewers participated.”“看到销售部取得的成果，我感到非常兴奋。它受到了中国客户和中国客人的热烈欢迎。他们对第一艘中国制造的邮轮感到非常兴奋。我们已经决定，“爱达·魔都号”将于明年1月1日从上海启航。我们将从上海出发，进行为期5晚的韩国和日本之旅。不过，我们也在考虑制定穿越海上丝绸之路的长航线——覆盖不同国家的航线。最近，我们与淘宝合作，参加了双十一活动。超过1000万观众参与了活动。”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 本台记者“A new sector creates a new ecosystem of industrial supply chains, which in turn leads to more job opportunites and contriutes to the countries' overall economic growth. In Europe - one of the most developed cruise shipbuilding markets - almost quarter of jobs come from the suppliers in the manufacturing sector. But another question remains, Is anyone willing to buy a Large Cruise Ship built in China?”“新行业创造了新的工业供应链生态系统，反过来又带来了更多的就业机会，促进了国家的整体经济增长。在欧洲——最发达的邮轮制造市场之一——近四分之一的工作机会来自制造业的供应商。但另一个问题依然存在，是否有人愿意购买中国制造的大型邮轮？”Jari Mikeal Kauttonen, Cruise Ship Interior Decoration Specialist  SH Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, CSSCJari Mikeal Kauttonen 外高桥造船的邮轮内装专家“The global, you know, Caribbean, everybody from USA have been seen that one. Now they are heading in a Mediterranean Europe cruise soon. They want to come to Asia, China, Japan, whatever we have over here. Coastline of the China - how long is that one? How many ports? You have beautiful places, ancient history. So people want to come over here. If you keep doing these cruise ships, it will be like 5 or 10 years maybe when you get a little bit bigger market. If you can get it cheaper over here, if you can get it faster over here, they will come over here. In the future, (Chinese shipbuilders will become) one of the priorities.”“每个美国人都见过的皇家加勒比海游轮，现在，他们很快就要去欧洲地中海巡游了。他们想来亚洲、中国、日本。中国的海岸线有多长？有多少港口？中国有美丽的景点，古老的历史。所以人们想来这里。如果你们继续运营邮轮，也许5年或10年后，市场会更大。如果能在这里买到更便宜的邮轮，买到更快的邮轮，他们就会来这里。未来，（中国造船企业将成为）他们优先考虑的对象之一。”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 本台记者“Cheaper, faster and more advanced... The shipbuilders here seem well prepared. The second cruise ship is already under construction at the shipyard in Shanghai.”“更便宜、更快速、更先进... 这里的造船厂似乎早有准备。第二艘油轮已经在上海造船厂开工建造。”Chen Jianwei, General Manager Assistant Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, CSSC 陈剑威 大型邮轮项目建造总监、外高桥造船总经理助理兼邮轮项目部部长“For the first cruise ship, we have taken in some of the technology from abroad. And we also learned about some of their problems. So, when building the first ship, we have made many adjustments and modifications. For the second cruise ship, we can enhance efficiency by 20%. The second vessel has an added segment, and is 17 meters larger than the first. ”“对于第一艘邮轮，我们吸收了国外的一些技术。我们也了解了他们的一些问题。因此，在建造第一艘邮轮时，我们做了很多调整和修改。对于第二艘邮轮，我们可以提高20%效率。第二艘邮轮增加了一个舱段，比第一艘大17米。”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 本台记者“Chinese ship builders have proved they are more than capable of building a large cruise ship. Current projections show that value of the cruise economy could be valued at 500 billion yuan by 2035. Are you ready to set sail?”“事实证明，中国的造船企业完全有能力建造大型邮轮。目前的预测显示，到2035年，邮轮经济的产值将达到5000亿元。您准备好启航了吗？”#热词加油站refrigerated /rɪˈfrɪdʒəreɪtɪd/【使冷却】trimmings /ˈtrɪmɪŋ/【装饰材料】crystallization /ˌkrɪstəlaɪ'zeɪʃn/【结晶】itineraries /aɪˈtɪnərəriz/【行程】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

The statistics bureau attributed the decrease to an ample supply of food thanks to good weather and falling consumer demand after the combined Mid-Autumn and National Day holiday.官方数据显示，衡量通货膨胀的主要指标——全国居民消费价格指数继9月份持平后，10月份同比下降了0.2%，这是今年以来的第二次下降。国家统计局将CPI下降归因于天气晴好农产品供应充足、中秋国庆长假后消费需求回落等因素。Meanwhile, China's producer price index, which gauges【衡量】factory-gate prices, dropped 2.6 percent from a year ago last month, following a fall of 2.5 percent in the previous month. The statistics bureau said the international prices of crude oil and nonferrous metal fluctuated while last year’s high comparison base contributed to the wider PPI decline.与此同时，衡量出厂价格的工业生产者价格指数（PPI）继上月下降2.5%之后，又比去年同期下降了2.6%。国家统计局称，国际原油、有色金属价格波动及上年同期对比基数走高等因素是PPI降幅扩大的原因。2.MULTI-NATIONALS SPEAK HIGHLY OF CHINA'S DEVELOPMENT进博会：参展跨国企业盛赞中国发展It's been six years since the first China International Import Expo was held in Shanghai.

German optical tech developer ZEISS, also attending its 6th CIIE, has been sharing successful case studies for localisation and innovation.绿色发展几乎是今年整个进博会都在讨论的话题——因为中国一直是开发新的绿色解决方案的理想之地。德国光学技术开发商蔡司也参加了第六届进博会，并分享了本土化和创新的成功案例。Maximilian Foerst, President & CEO of ZEISS Greater China马克西米利安·福斯特蔡司大中华区总裁兼首席执行官“China is the largest single market for the CarlZeiss group. And we clearly see a bright future in China. China is growing with a lot of the markets of tomorrow. We're talking about sustainability. If you look in sustainable power and energy, China is leading globally. If you look in new energy vehicles, China is leading globally. China is really becoming an innovation hub in industrial terms and also in research and development. So here we are entering a lot of cooperation with Chinese companies. Some of them are our customers where we are developing new applications for them, and even going globalism.

Also, more than 250 Australian companies are attending this year's CIIE, presenting products from seafood and beef to wine and iron ore. 两国交往也与对外贸易有关。自《中澳自由贸易协定》于2015年生效以来，两国之间的货物和服务贸易额激增。此外，250多家澳大利亚公司将参加今年的中国国际进口博览会，展示从海鲜和牛肉到葡萄酒和铁矿石等产品。Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister of Australia安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯 澳大利亚总理“China is our largest trading partner and will remain so for the foreseeable future, even as we like all countries seek to diversify our trade. Since the free trade agreement came into force, Australian exports to China have more than doubled, while Chinese exports to Australia have increased by almost 80 percent, benefiting consumers and businesses in both countries.”“中国是我们最大的贸易伙伴，在可预见的未来仍将如此。尽管我们和所有国家一样，都在努力实现贸易多元化。自《自由贸易协定生效》以来，澳大利亚对中国的出口增长了一倍多，而中国对澳大利亚的出口增长了近80%，两国的消费者和企业都从中受益。”During the visit, the two countries have also discussed cooperating on dealing with climate change and other challenges including those in the agricultural and art sectors. 在访问期间，两国还讨论了合作应对气候变化和其他挑战的问题，包括农业和艺术领域的挑战。3. CIIE: A GO-TO PLACE FOR NEW ZEALAND EXPORTERS进博会为新西兰出口商提供重要平台At the 6th China International Import Expo, some New Zealand companies are showing from their specialities here, and building on their previous expo achievements. Zhang Shixuan reports. 在第六届中国国际进口博览会上，一些新西兰公司展示了自己的特色产品，并在上届进博会取得的成绩基础上再接再厉。记者张诗旋带来报道。Well known cute and gentle nature, alpacas are loved by many people. And while you might expect to see them in the highlands of South America, you can also find them grazing on Shanghai's Chongming Island. Opened just this year, it's the first urban alpaca-themed ranch in China - a cooperation between a Chinese alpaca keeper from the Inner Mongolia and a New Zealand firm羊驼天性温顺可爱，深受人们喜爱。虽然您可能会在南美洲的高原上看到它们，但在上海崇明岛，也能看到它们吃草的身影。这是中国首个以羊驼为主题的城市牧场，由来自内蒙古的中国羊驼饲养者和新西兰的一家公司合作建成。Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 记者“Look how cute the alpaca toy is! I'm at the consumer goods pavilion at the CIIE. This booth is all about alpaca fibre【纤维】 products - from the New Zealand partner of that alpaca farm in Shanghai's Chongming District.”“看，多可爱的羊驼玩具！我在中国国际进口博览会的消费品展馆。这个展台展示的都是羊驼纤维产品——来自上海崇明区羊驼农场的新西兰合作伙伴。”Duvets, blankets, and coats... All made with alpaca wool from New Zealand.羽绒被、毛毯和大衣…全部采用新西兰羊驼毛制成。Eric Geng, Executive Director , Pacific Alpacas Hometex Group耿聪 太平洋羊驼家纺集团（新西兰）“During these two years, we have set up a number of offline stores either in Shanghai and Shandong province and also Hainan Province. And also we have some cooperation with the local distributors in China market.”“这两年，我们在上海、山东和海南省建立了多家线下门店。此外，我们还与中国市场的当地经销商开展了一些合作。”And they are not just simply importing the alpaca wool. They are accelerating the pace of local manufacturing.他们不仅进口羊驼毛。它们正在加快本地制造的步伐。Dmitri Prokopenko, Operation Director, Pacific Alpacas德米特里·波普科 新西兰太平洋羊驼集团品牌联合创始人、品牌运营总监“Before it was a hundred percent New Zealand production right now we bring in part of production to China so it's probably like 30 to 70% comparison. And we wish to bring more fiber and produce in China because we can speed up and scale it way bigger here in China. Definitely China production, it's top one in the world. You cannot scale so much in New Zealand. The amount of people in New Zealand is very limited. So it's more professional. Everything happening way faster here than in New Zealand. ”“以前，我们百分之百在新西兰生产，现在，我们将部分产品引入中国，因此，与新西兰相比，中国占30% 至70%。我们希望在中国生产更多的纤维，因为我们可以在中国加快生产速度，扩大生产规模。中国的产量绝对是世界第一。在新西兰，你不可能扩大这么大的规模。新西兰的人口数量非常有限。所以这里更专业。这里的一切都比新西兰快得多。”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 记者The company's business seems pretty diverse now. But things weren't like this 2 years ago, when the tourism industry in New Zealand suffered from the pandemic. Attending the CIIE has been a turning point - entering into the China market. 现在，公司的业务非常多样化。但两年前的情况并非如此，当时新西兰的旅游业受到了疫情影响。参加中国国际进口博览会是一个转折点——进入中国市场。Eric Geng, Executive Director , Pacific Alpacas Hometex Group耿聪 太平洋羊驼家纺集团（新西兰）“It's very over our expectation because at the first year when we join CIIE, we only have 9 square meters in here. But during three days, we sold out all our products in just 3 days. And this year we have independent store, which is 36 square meters in CIIE this year. New Zealand is a very small country and it's also export oriented market. But for China is a big consumer market. So we see this is a huge potential opportunity for the New Zealand company who want to enter China market, who want to explore more consumers in the China market.”“这超出了我们的预期，因为第一年参加进博会时，我们在这里只有9平方米。但在三天时间里，我们的产品就销售一空。今年，我们在进博会有一家独立店，面积有36平方米。新西兰是一个很小的国家，也是一个出口导向型市场。但中国是一个很大的消费市场。因此，我们认为这对于想进入中国市场、想在中国市场开拓更多消费者的新西兰公司来说，是一个巨大的潜在机会。”In just 3 years, half of the company's business already comes from China. And it aims to increase that to 70 percent after this year's CIIE. Embracing the achievements from the import expo and highlighting the importance of the China market, the company has brought several paintings, illustrating the friendship between China and New Zealand to this year's expo. 在短短三年时间里，该公司已有一半的业务来自中国。该公司的目标是在今年的进博会后将这一比例提高到70%。为了迎接进博会的成果，突出中国市场的重要性，该公司在今年的博览会上带来了几幅展现中新友谊的画作。Some more well known New Zealand companies have been regular participants at the event, where Dairy giant Fonterra will bring 2 brand new products to China at this year's expo.一些知名的新西兰公司也经常参加本次进博会，其中乳制品巨头恒天然集团将在本届博览会上为中国带来两款全新产品。Teh-han Chow, Chief Executive Officer, Greater China , Fonterra周德汉 恒天然大中华区首席执行官“we can see that consumer sales have grown in the market, generally speaking, nearly 7%. Obviously, we have benefited from a lot from the free trade agreement that China and New Zealand signed many years ago and we will see many of our products become duty free come January one of 2024. So I think that the more trade agreements and the more economic cooperation that we can see amongst nations will benefit all of us in terms of being able to bring new products to consumers that they need and that they want.”“我们可以看到，市场上的消费者销售额普遍增长了近7%。显然，我们从中国和新西兰多年前签署的《自由贸易协定》中获益良多，我们将看到我们的许多产品在2024年1月1日成为免税产品。因此，我认为，贸易协定越多，国家之间的经济合作越多，我们就越能为消费者带来他们需要和想要的新产品，这对所有人都有好处。”Since 2014, Fonterra has opened application centres in China including Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Shenzhen, as part of its localization strategy.自2014年以来，恒天然在中国上海、北京、广州、成都和深圳等地开设了应用中心，这是其本地化战略的一部分。China has become the largest export market and source of imports for New Zealand, with bilateral trade volume reaching 25 billion US dollars in 2022. This year, China and New Zealand have agreed to scale up bilateral【双方的】 trade and bolster cooperation in e-commerce, trade in services, the green economy and establish a dialogue mechanism for new energy vehicles. 中国已成为新西兰最大的出口市场和进口来源国，2022年双边贸易额将达到250亿美元。今年，中新双方同意扩大双边贸易规模，加强在电子商务、服务贸易、绿色经济等领域的合作，并建立新能源汽车对话机制。#热词加油站puberty /ˈpjuːbəti/【青春期】precocious /prɪˈkəʊʃəs/【早熟的】hormone /ˈhɔːməʊn/【激素】Pharmaceutical /ˌfɑːməˈsuːtɪkl/【制药的】fibre /ˈfaɪbə(r) /【纤维】bilateral /ˌbaɪˈlætərəl/【双方的】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

But this year's Shanghai pavilion will add international purchase section. 在国家会展中心的中央广场，上海馆已准备就绪，将再次开放90个本地品牌，包括化妆品、瓷器和中药等老字号。中央广场通常留给中国各省区的展馆，当地企业在此展示自己的特色产品。但今年的上海馆将增加“国际采购”展区。The floor and wall covers around the booths had been removed at the automobile section, though the car covers are still there, including on this "Mission X" model by Porsche. Almost all major automakers brought their new electric models. Most of them feature smart driving capabilities. 在汽车展区，展台周围的地板和墙壁上的遮盖物已经被拆除，但汽车的遮盖物还在，包括保时捷Mission X概念车。几乎所有汽车制造商都带来了自己的新型电动车型。其中大部分都具有智能驾驶功能。Zhang Shipeng, Public Affairs Director, Mobis张世鹏 摩比斯公共事务总监“It's our 4th CIIE. We're showing a collection of our latest technologies, including our Mixed Reality display system. Our components will be in future driverless vehicles. ”“我们第四次参加进博会，它主要集成了摩比斯今年开发的主要的新技术，混合现实显示系统，这些新技术主要用于搭载在无人驾驶的车辆上”Lego, which hasn't missed a single CIIE, is going to be greeting visitors with a gigantic 110,000-block heart. 乐高集团从未缺席过任何一届进博会，今年它将用一颗11万块乐高颗粒拼出的“玩乐之心”迎接参观者。Luo Yue, 3D Model Designer，LEGO Group Jiaxing Factory罗悦 乐高集团嘉兴工厂3D模型设计师“This was created by 18 block builders from China and Czech Republic.

The trade group decided to host a "University Startup World Cup" final at their booth during this year's Import Expo. A Swiss air-purifier company will showcase its new air purifier that was updated from a product that it has presented at last CIIE. 在创新孵化专区部，北欧创新中心有50家公司。与首次参加中国进博会时的不足10家相比，有了显著提高。该行业组织决定在今年的进口博览会期间在其展位上举办“大学生创业世界杯”决赛。一家瑞士空气净化器公司将展示其在上届中国国际进口博览会上推出的新款空气净化器。Last but not the least, a variety of fruit finally arrived at the site right before the expo opens to ensure freshness. Benin's sugarloaf pineapple that just received import approval in September will make its first appearance in China at the CIIE.最后，各种水果在进博会开幕前运抵现场，以确保新鲜。今年9月刚刚获得进口许可的贝宁鲜食菠萝将在中国国际进口博览会上首次亮相。2.EXHIBITION PROVIDES A GLIMPSE OF MUSICIAN HE LUTING'S LIFE “纪念贺绿汀120周年诞辰特展”系列活动在沪揭幕An exhibition commemorating the 120th Anniversary of the acclaimed musician He Luting opened today at Shanghai Library's Pudong branch, offering a glimpse into the life of the respected composer and educator.

Born in Hunan Province, He started composing music for Chinese movies in the 1930s. 在俄罗斯作曲家亚历山大·特切列普宁主办并担任评委的比赛中，贺绿汀凭借这首歌曲一举夺魁，成为第一位蜚声国际的中国作曲家。贺绿汀出生于湖南，20 世纪30年代开始为中国电影作曲。Cai Yuan, Student, SH Conservatory of Music蔡元 上海音乐学院学生 “My classmates and I just went to visit He's hometown in summer. As a student vocalist, his spirit of pursuing music and art until his death is an inspiration.”“我们在学校组织的暑期实践中，我们去了韶东的故居，我就是非常有感触的是乘风破浪的精神，不懈的坚持努力。”A concert was also held by teachers and students from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music to commemorate【纪念】He, who was appointed director of the university in 1949, he kept the post until his retirement in 1984. The main concert hall at the university, the oldest of its kind in China, is named after him.上海音乐学院的师生们还举办了一场音乐会，纪念1949年被任命为上海音乐学院院长的贺绿汀。上海音乐学院的主音乐厅是中国最古老的音乐厅，以他的名字命名。Changyong, President，SH Conservatory of Music廖昌永 上海音乐学院 院长“Art and music are not only for professionals, but for the public and all of society. This is why music composition has to be easy to understand, as it is going to arouse people's emotions more easily. This is why we have opened our campus to the public last year, so that people can walk into the university to feel the charm of music. ”“我们的音乐创作，音乐表演不只是给专业观众看的，其实我们的音乐作品是服务于社会，让大家都能听得懂，激发起大家的共同情感。所以在我们去年上海音乐学院对外开放，校园开放其实也是本着这样一个理念，让人们走进大学，感受音乐的魅力。”The exhibition's name "Truth", comes from the Chinese 'Bao Zhen' 抱真, the alias that He gave to himself, representing a spirit of chasing truth his whole life. He's best-known work includes "Song of the Four Seasons" and "The Wandering Songstress," both composed for the 1937 movie "Street Angel" and sung by Zhou Xuan.展览的名称“真理”来自中文“包真”，包真是贺绿汀给自己起的别名，代表了他一生追求真理的精神。他最著名的作品包括《四季歌》和《天涯歌女》，这两首歌都是为 1937 年的电影《马路天使》而作，由周璇演唱。3. LOCAL IMPORTERS BENEFITED FROM CIIE本地进口商受益于中国进博会The 6th China International Import Expo is just 2 days away. While international companies and brands have been obvious beneficiaries from the expo, some local importers have also been making some gains. Zhang Shixuan has more.还有两天，第六届中国国际进口博览会就要开幕了。在国际企业和品牌成为博览会明显受益者的同时，一些本土进口商也有所收获。记者张诗旋带来更多报道。A foreign trade business specialist for 3 decades, Pan Qi had her professional career dominated by textile exports until 6 years ago. But since the 1st China International Import Expo held in Shanghai in 2018, things have changed—from an export to an import business.潘琦是一名从事了30年外贸业务的专家，6年前，她的职业生涯一直以纺织品出口为主。但自2018年首届中国国际进口博览会在上海举办以来，情况发生了变化——从出口业务变成了进口业务。Pan Qi, Marketing Manager, Orient Enterprise 潘琦 东方伟业有限公司市场部经理“As domestic costs increase, the profit for traditional general trading has become lower. So a large batch of foreign trade business staff had to adapt. And the CIIE is a good opportunity for us to shift from export to import.”“国内的成本高了以后，我们一般的传统贸易可能会利润空间越来越小，我们大家一大批老的外贸业务员，我们要转型，那进博会就是我们一个很好的一个转型的契机，我们就从出口做进口了。”Her imports have been expanding from just food at the 1st CIIE, to toys, healthcare products and medical equipment, she's even bringing in children's football training services this year - an expansion from general trading to service trading. The countriesshe trades with have expanded from Japan to also include European countries.她的进口产品从第一届进博会上的食品扩展到玩具、保健产品和医疗设备，今年（进博会）她甚至引进了儿童足球训练服务——从一般贸易扩展到服务贸易。与她有贸易往来的国家也从日本扩展到了欧洲国家。Pan Qi, Marketing Manager，Orient Enterprise潘琦 东方伟业有限公司市场部经理“Many foreign companies have been interested in the China market for some time. But they didn't have an entry point. Now more customers have been reaching out to us, sometimes we even have too many to deal with.”“很多外国的客户，他们对我们中国的市场很有兴趣，但是他们就是抓不到这一个切入点。到现在就是我们越来越大，然后我们就是没有时间去招待这些客人。”This year, Pan's overseas client numbers are 5 times that of last year. The import volume has doubled or trippled compared to 6 years ago. Foreign companies are now more willing to cooperate with local importers.今年，潘琦的海外客户数量是去年的5倍。与6年前相比，进口量翻了两三倍。现在，外国公司更愿意与本地进口商合作。Shang Chen, CEO , Anti-Aging Group尚忱 中国总代安璟汇集团执行总裁“Importers are reliable and have good reputations in the local market. So that makes it easier for us to reach out to the local families and the market. We also want to cooperate with Orient International to enter into China's elderly care sector.”“进口商是可靠的，并且是有知誉度的。这样的话更容易去深入我们的家庭和我们的市场。我们也特别愿意跟东方国际去联手进入更多的康养行业，中国的养老行业。”Some companies are also taking advantage of the expo to import high-end medical equipment, and then, work to localize it. At past expos, Fosun Pharma have been exhibiting a surgery robot from the United States. This year the company has made it possible for the robot to be manufactured in China.一些公司还利用世博会进口高端医疗设备，将其本土化。复星医药在往届世博会上展出了一款来自美国的手术机器人。今年，该公司实现了该机器人在中国的生产。Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 记者“It's been 6 years since the first CIIE was held in Shanghai. Numerous exhibits have turned into products for sale. And it's not just industrial equipment; retail goods from the show have become more common in China. Some of them have become exceedingly【非常】popular on e-commerce sites.”“进博会在上海举办至今已有6年。众多展品已成为销售产品。不仅是工业设备，展会上的零售商品在中国也越来越常见。其中一些产品在电子商务网站上非常受欢迎”Mandy Zhang, Busienss Manager, Pinduoduo张曼迪 拼多多业务经理“As an e-commerce platform starting from agriculture business, Pinduoduo has reached almost 900 million consumers with the imported agriculture products from the CIIE, such as cherries from Chili, red shrimp from Argentina, Steak from Australia, and Salmon from Norway. This year's first batch of cherries from Chili just went on pre-sale on the Pinduoduo app. Sales have risen more than 80% from a year ago.”“作为以农业起家的电商平台，拼多多也通过进博会加速全球优质进口农产品与近9亿消费者的直连，像智利车厘子、纽仕兰乳制品、阿根廷红虾、澳大利亚牛排、挪威三文鱼等等。最近今年首批智利车厘子在拼多多首发预售，销量同比增长超80%。”For this year's CIIE, Pinduoduo also plans to host special livestreams, to sell goods from countries that participate in the Belt and Road initiative and from companies attending the import expo.在今年的进博会上，拼多多还计划举办特别直播，销售来自“一带一路”倡议参与国和进口博览会参展企业的商品。#热词加油站 pavilion /pəˈvɪliən/【看台】incubation /ˌɪŋkjuˈbeɪʃn/【孵化】sponsored /ˈspɒnsə(r) /【赞助】commemorate /kəˈmeməreɪt/【纪念】exceedingly /ɪkˈsiːdɪŋli/【非常】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

The away team broke the deadlock in the 63rd minute as Shim Seo-Yoen headed home from a free kick. 15 minutes later, Wang Shanshan's header leveled for China after a precise cross from Yan Jinjin. China almost scored a winner in the 85th minute, but Yan's one-on-one shot in the penalty area went just wide.韩国队在上半场补时阶段打出一脚极具威胁的射门，池笑然在反击中接到凯西·费尔的传球射门，击中立柱弹出。客场作战的韩国队在比赛第63分钟打破僵局，沈藇妍利用任意球机会头球破门。15分钟后，闫锦锦精准传中，王珊珊头球为中国队扳平比分。第85分钟，闫锦锦单刀机会将球射偏，中国女足错失反超比分良机。Shui Qingxia, Head Coach Chinese National Women's Football Team水庆霞中国国家女子足球队主教练“其实从内心来讲，我也是蛮难过的，也比较心疼这些姑娘，我们有很多差距，尤其青训方面，但是我觉得如果说我们清醒认识到我们的差距和很多的不足，真的静下心来去处理一些细节上面的东西，我想今后的中国女足还会往正确的方向去走。”“I feel sorry that we didn't win the match. I want to thank my players for trying their best. We wanted to improve our match, but it didn't work out. We have to learn from all the losses and find the right path in the future.”Australia, the DPRK and Japan qualified as group winners, while Uzbekistan also advanced to the final stage of Asian qualifiers.

But as one company at CIIE is proving, it doesn't have to be. This piece of glass ceramic【陶瓷制品】is tough and resistant to extreme temperatures. It’s a crucial component in the new Mozi telescrope opened in China’s Qinghai province in September-- the largest of its kind in the Northern Hemisphere. German high-tech developer SCHOTT will for the first time bring its astronomy materials, including its glass ceramics to the import expo.我们都认为玻璃易碎。但正如进博会的一家公司证明那样，玻璃并不一定如此。这块玻璃陶瓷坚固耐用，可以抵御极端温度。它是今年 9 月在中国青海省启用的墨子巡天望远镜的关键基材，该望远镜是目前北半球最大的同类望远镜。德国高科技开发商肖特集团将在此届进博会上首次展出包括玻璃陶瓷在内的天文特种材料。Salvatore Ruggiero, Vice President of Marketing & Communication, SCHOTT AG萨尔瓦多·罗杰，肖特集团全球市场营销和传播副总裁“Astronomy is a mega trend. And as we know, also in China, they are coming up with a lot of projects in astronomy areas. So, we want to show our products and our applications to the audience. We did a lot of investments in the last five years. For example, 170 million euro we invested here in China in different areas. But now we will not stop with this investment in China and we will invest a lot in China also for this astronomy application.”“天文学是一个大趋势。我们知道，中国也在天文学领域开展了很多项目。因此，我们希望向观众展示我们的产品和应用。过去五年，我们进行了大量投资。例如，我们在中国不同领域投资了 1.7 亿欧元。但现在，我们不会停止在中国的投资，我们还将为天文学应用在中国投入大量资金。”The company’s material is now also used on the world’s largest optical【光学的】telescope currently under construction, the Extremely Large Telescope. It allows the telescope to receive 100 million times more light than the human eye. Technology and pharmaceutical companies aren’t just here to show off their latest products though, they're also looking to cooperate with local firms.该公司的材料还被使用在目前世界上最大的光学望远镜欧洲极大望远镜ELT（在建）上，作使ELT能够比人眼接收多一亿倍的光。科技和制药公司不仅仅是为了在进博会展示他们的最新产品，他们还希望与当地企业进行合作。Jean-Christophe Pointeau, President of Pfizer China彭振科辉瑞全球生物制药商业集团中国区总裁“China is already the second largest healthcare market in the world. It's not only an investment but is also collaborating with the local pharmaceutical industry, innovative product best in class or first in class in specialty care in unmet medical need such as together we could launch not only in China for China, but to bridge all these innovative products which are discovered in China for the rest of the world. We decided with the Hangzhou city to develop a Pfizer Innovation Center where we will take the best of the health care which is the best of Hangzhou with IT digital together to develop health care digital solution.”“中国已经是世界第二大医疗保健市场。这不仅是一项投资，还是与当地制药行业合作的举措，致力于在特殊医疗领域提供最佳或首创的创新产品，满足医疗领域未被满足的需求。我们不仅可以在中国推出这些产品，还可以架起连接中国研发的创新产品与全球其他地方的桥梁。我们决定与杭州市合作开发一个辉瑞创新中心，在这里，我们将把杭州最好的医疗保健与IT数字化结合起来，共同开发医疗保健数字化解决方案。”Pfizer is attending the import expo for the 4th year in a row. Pointeau said he has witnessed the rapid growth in the healthcare sector in China, especially an acceleration of administration. That has made it possible for pharmaceutical companies to launch a new drug in China at the same time as the US or Europe.辉瑞集团已连续四年参加进口博览会。彭振科说，他见证了中国医疗保健行业的快速发展，尤其是行政管理的加速。这使得制药公司可以在中国与美国或欧洲同时推出新药。3.CHINA CALLS FOR END TO HOSTILITIES IN ISRAEL-HAMAS CONFLICT“破坏容易重建难”中方呼吁巴以冲突方停止一切敌对行动China’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Zhang Jun yesterday said the situation in Palestine and Israel is at the top of the Security Council’s agenda this month, and it’s imperative【紧急的】to promote a ceasefire and halt the fighting. Lei Shuran has more.中国常驻联合国代表张军昨天（11/01）表示，巴以局势是本月安理会议程上最重要的工作。巴勒斯坦和以色列局势是安理会本月的首要议题，当务之急是推动停火止战。本台记者雷舒然带来详细报道。Speaking to reporters at U.N.

That is, what have you done and how well did you do it? If things are not done well, how were the loans approved? There are financial loopholes in the debt issuance process which should be plugged as soon as possible using the screening process, so as to strengthen the financial system and supervision.”From 2014 to September 2023, China saw its outstanding yuan-denominated loans issued to the real economy shoot up from a little over 81 trillion yuan to more than 230 trillion yuan. The average annual debt growth was 10 percent, generally in line with nominal GDP growth, according to data from the People’s Bank of China.       从2014年到2023年9月，中国发放给实体经济的人民币贷款从81万亿元增加到了230多万亿元。根据中国人民银行的数据，平均年债务增长率为10%，与名义国内生产总值（GDP）增长相符。2.SMG PROMOTES SHANGHAI CULTURE IN KOBE, JAPAN魔都新发现·日本校园行走进神户Representatives from SMG News Center are now in Japan for a series activities to introduce some Shanghai and Chinese culture to local university students.

The students participating in the event are all majoring in Chinese literature. They all speak Mandarin fluently, many expressed their desire to continue their studies in Shanghai, or possibly working in tourism, as a guide for Japanese tourists in Shanghai.神户市外国语大学创办于1946年，是日本唯一的公立外国语大学。参加活动的学生全都来自中文系，能说一口流利的汉语。许多人表示希望前往上海留学深造，或者从事旅游工作，带日本游客去上海看看。Student学生“Previously I only knew that economic development was quite fast in Shanghai, and Shanghai was home to many Japanese people.

In a little over 10 years, 21 FTZs have been established in the country. Sun Siqi brings us a report from the Ministry of Commerce today on what's next. 习近平主席强调，要推动建设更多自贸试验区，进一步改善中国的市场准入，推动全产业链条现代化。过去十年来，我国已建立起21个自贸试验区。本台记者孙思奇带来报道，介绍新征程上商务部将如何开展自贸区的建设工作。The central government outlined【概述】 a set of measures in June to further open up FTZs in regions including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong, with faster customs clearance and greater freedom to do business. 今年六月，国务院印发了一系列措施，进一步推进北京、上海和广东等地区的自贸区制度型开放，加快通关速度，扩大贸易自由度。Ministry officials said since then 13 trial policies have been introduced. Businesses and their employees are already benefiting from these policies that extend the length of stay for foreign business experts, executives 【高管】and their family members. 商务部有关负责人表示，自上述政策实施以来，已有13项试点措施落地实施。这些措施延长了外资企业专家、高管及其配偶停居留期限，有关企业、个人已可以享受到实实在在的政策红利。A greater range of overseas professional certifications are now recognized. Air cargo clears customs in as little as 6 hours, while regular freight is given clearance in as little as 48 hours. 更多国际高标准经贸规则已得到对接。空运快运货物正常情况下在抵达后6小时内放行，对已抵达并提交通关所需全部信息的普通货物，尽可能在48小时内放行。At the same time, more trial policies are being worked out. 与此同时，更多的试点政策正在制订中。Sheng Qiuping, Vice Minister of Ministry of Commerce盛秋平 商务部副部长“对于备受关注的重点行业再制造产品进口试点，已经提出了试点方案和产品目录。商务部正会同有关部门加紧研究，将按要求在6个月内作出决定。对于暂时入境修理货物免关税、跨境购买境外金融服务等试点措施也正在加快制订。配套管理办法、细则、指引等，将尽快对外发布。”“We've already made a plan and list of products for a trial where businesses in several keymanufacturing sectors are allowed to import re-manufactured products. The Ministry of Commerce is now working with multiple government departments to be ready to launch the policy in 6 months. ”Another trial will be introduced to scrap【放弃】 customs duty on goods that need to temporarily enter the border for repair and allow cross-border purchases of overseas financial services. Officials said some of the policies will gradually be introduced in other FTZs, where stress tests will commence on how these policies work. In the first half of this year, the countrys 21 FTZs attracted about 18 percent of all foreign investment and a similar figure for imports and exports despite accounting for less than 0.4 percent of the country's area.此外还将试行暂时入境修理货物免关税、跨境购买境外金融服务等措施。相关负责人表示，具备条件的试点措施将会推广到其他自贸试验区，在更大范围内开展压力测试。今年上半年，21家自贸试验区以不到0.4%的国土面积，贡献了占全国18%的外商投资和几乎等额占比的进出口。2.RAILWAY STATIONS PLAN FOR MASSEXODUS DURING HOLIDAY PERIOD放假倒计时！双节期间火车站迎来大量出行旅客Special operations will be in place on the country's rail network between today and October 8th. Extra trains will be added to schedules and more employees will be on duty to keep things running smoothly during rush periods. 190 million people nationwide are expected to travel by train during the period as it includes the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays.

Sun Siqi has more.从今日（09/27）起至10月8日，全国铁路网将采取系列特别措施。铁路部门将增开列车，并在高峰期安排更多员工值班，以保证铁路系统平稳运行。中秋国庆双节假期期间，全国铁路预计发放旅客 1.9亿人次。今天起，铁路上海站三大站候车室将通宵开放。本台记者孙思奇将带来更多报道。In the departure area of Hongqiao Railway Station, a screen showed that nearly all tickets from Shanghai have been sold out between today and Friday, forcing some travelers to reschedule their trip. 虹桥火车站出发区的屏幕上显示：从今天到周五，从上海出发的车票几乎全部售罄。一些旅客不得不重新安排他们的出行计划。Traveler旅客”本来想在这儿玩一天再回去的，然后买不到28号的票，只能买27号的了。”“I planned to stay another day, but I couldn't get a ticket for tomorrow. So I'm leaving today.”Shanghai railway authorities said a total of 485,000 travelers departed from the three stations. That was with an additional 25 trains on the schedule. Most of them were destined for northwestern parts of the country, or north of Jiangsu Province. 上海铁路部门称，上海三大站预计发送旅客48.5万人次。其中包括新增的25趟列车。客流方向主要集中在我国西北地区或江苏省北部。Zhang Jianlin, Hongqiao Railway Station张建霖铁路虹桥站值班站长“我们根据整个国庆期间旅客出行需求，会进一步地采取列车的加挂、动车组的重联、以及增开临客的措施，进一步根据旅客需求加大运力。”“We will add more trains or carriages to expand capacity according to demand during the holiday.”Authorities said departures and arrivals in Shanghai will reach about 7 million during the holidays.

That would take 24 or 25 hours, but the direct flight cuts ten or twelve hours off that.”Liu notes that due to the travel frenzy during the upcoming long holidays, the first few flights during the National Day Holiday are almost sold out. The visit will be a new experience for many.刘亚楠指出，由于即将到来的长假旅游热潮，国庆假期的前几趟航班已经几乎售罄。对许多人来说，这次旅程将会是一次全新的体验。Chen Chao陈超“结合航线新开，打算办理签证后前往土耳其，还没去过。”“With the launch of the new route, I'm planning to get a visa to go to Turkey. I've never been there before.”Liu Yanan, GM Assistant, Network Transport Capacity of Commercial Committee, China Eastern Airlines刘亚楠东航商务委网络运力部总经理助理“在上海出发的时间我们安排在了凌晨1点左右，这样的话，国内包括周围日韩、东南亚国家的旅客可以通过浦东航班接上海到土耳其出发这一段。到达土耳其之后，是当地时间8:30，伊斯坦布尔作为国际性枢纽，方便接从土耳其到欧洲、非洲这些国家的旅客的后一段航班。”“The regular flights depart from Shanghai at around 1 am. So tourists from Japan, the Republic of Korea and Southeast Asian countries can first fly to Pudong, and then get on to the flight to Turkey. The flight arrives in Turkey at 8:30 am local time. As an international hub, Istanbul is also offers transfers to other destinations in Europe and Africa.”This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative【倡议】, and the new route is a fruit of China Eastern's service to the BRI nations.  The airline has upgraded its in-flight facilities as part of the new route's service.  今年是共建“一带一路”倡议提出十周年，而新航线的开通是东航服务“一带一路”沿线国家的硕果。作为新航线服务的一部分，东航对机上设施也进行了升级。Yan Jun, Deputy General Manager  of Customer Committee, China Eastern Airlines严峻东航客户委副总经理“104架双通道航班全部实现了空地互联，去年升级了离地即连，全程在线.““Our 104 double-aisle flights have installed wi-fi connections. Last year, we have upgraded our wi-fi services to make it possible to connect immediately after the plane takes off, and it remains connected for the entire trip.”During the past decade, China Eastern has carried more than 55 million passengers to almost 30 countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, and flights on the route have now recovered to around 70 percent of the level they had hit in 2019. 过去十年间，东航已为“一带一路”沿线近30个国家运送了超过5500万名旅客，目前沿线的航班量已恢复到2019年的70%左右。#热词加油站outline/ˈaʊtlaɪn/【概述】executives/ɪɡˈzekjətɪv/【高管】 scrap/skræp/【放弃】initiative/ɪˈnɪʃətɪv/【倡议】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

SHANGHAI CHIPS AWAY AT THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE MARKET上海抢占新能源汽车发展高地Last year China accounted for more than half of the new Electric Vehicles sold worldwide. EVs made up approximately 25% of China's new car sales in 2022 as well. And as the vehicles get smarter, the market has an increasing demand for the computer chips that run them. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan talked to 2 companies in the industry and finds out the massive scale of the demand and how it is being met.    去年，中国的电动汽车销量占全球新车销量的一半以上。2022年，电动汽车也将占中国新车销量的25%左右。随着汽车越来越智能，市场对运行汽车的计算机芯片的需求也越来越大。本报记者张诗旋采访了两家业内公司，了解了这一需求的巨大规模以及如何满足这一需求。An ordinary modern car may be able to connect with Bluetooth, detect blind spots for the driver, automatically adjust seats and display videos - all at once, and all functions run by tiny semiconductor chips - the average car these days has hundreds of them. SmartSens Technology has been developing automotive image sensor chips since 2020. So far, it has launched 11 automotive-grade Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor or CMOS image sensors.一辆普通的现代汽车可以同时实现蓝牙连接、为驾驶员检测盲点、自动调节座椅和显示视频等功能，而所有这些功能都由微小的半导体芯片运行——现在的普通汽车拥有数百个这样的芯片。SmartSens Technology公司从2020年开始研发汽车图像传感器芯片。迄今为止，该公司已推出11款汽车级互补金属氧化物半导体或 CMOS 图像传感器。Zhang Peiling, Chief Marketing Officer SmartSens Technology章佩玲 思特威首席市场官“Intelligent driving functions have been advancing steadily, so there are more cameras needed on a car to provide clearer image information. Demand has increased for sensor chips for cameras and laser【激光】radars, processors, computing platforms such as GPUs as well as control units. We are continuing to focus on application scenarios for automotive viewing, sensing and in-cabin monitoring.”“目前，智能驾驶功能逐步向更高级别发展，推动单车搭载的摄像头数量逐渐增长。带动汽车市场对芯片和处理器的需求提升，比如像摄像头、激光雷达等各类型传感器芯片、处理器、GPU等计算平台和控制单元等等。思特威将继续聚焦车载影像类、感知类与舱内三大应用场景的发展”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 记者“It is estimated that this year, global NEV production will grow by 30%. That has brought an increased demand for the semiconductors that drive these electric systems on wheels. Given the chip shortage that interrupted car manufacturing in the past 3 years, companies have been paying close attention to strengthening local supply chains to get prepared for the growing demand. And there are some new opportunities in the market as well. ”“据估计，今年全球新能源汽车的产量将增长30%。这就增加了对驱动这些车轮上的电动系统的半导体的需求。过去三年，芯片短缺曾一度中断了汽车制造，因此各公司一直在密切关注如何加强本地供应链，为满足日益增长的需求做好准备。同时，市场上也出现了一些新的机遇。”Damien Tuleu, Head of Display Solutions Merck Electronics达米安·图勒乌 默克显示科技显示解决方案负责人“Automotive industry obviously is booming in China, EV especially. And with EV comes into a new era in terms of using display to become much more transformative in experiencing with the drivers. We see display becoming much more critical. We are definitely looking for partnering with our customers to get much more particularly in trend into automotive opportunities.”“中国的汽车行业显然正在蓬勃发展，电动汽车尤其如此。随着电动汽车进入一个新时代，显示屏在与驾驶者的互动体验方面将发生更大的变化。我们认为显示屏变得更加重要。我们肯定会寻求与我们的客户合作，以获得更多进入汽车行业的机会。”Shanghai has been a big promoter of automobile chip development. The city now has 8 auto makers and more than 600 auto part manufacturers, laying a good foundation for joint advances between automobile companies and chip makers. SAIC Motor has just set up a 6-billion-yuan investment fund, just for chip development.上海一直在大力推动汽车芯片的发展。上海目前有8家汽车制造商和600多家汽车零部件制造商，为汽车公司和芯片制造商的共同进步奠定了良好的基础。上汽集团刚刚设立了一个 60亿元的投资基金，专门用于芯片开发。#热词加油站 laser /ˈleɪzə(r) /【激光】backstroke /ˈbækstrəʊk/【仰泳】medley /ˈmedli/【混合泳】cessation /seˈseɪʃn/【停止】slander /ˈslɑːndə(r) /【诽谤】equitable /ˈekwɪtəb/【公平的】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

As the world grapples with geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties, the fifth Bund Summit is addressing issues in global macro policies, the evolution of international supply chains and artificial intelligence. Zhang Shixuan explains.2023外滩金融峰会今天在上海开幕，全球财经大咖齐聚一堂，探讨经济复苏和增长之路。在全球努力应对地缘政治紧张局势和经济不确定性之际，第五届外滩峰会将探讨全球宏观政策、国际供应链演变和人工智能等问题。记者张诗旋带来更多报道。The first plenary【完全的】session today focused on the future of globalization. In the roundtable discussion, the experts focused on global monetary policies, which have been seeing aggresive moves by major foreign central banks to curb inflation.  This Wednesday, the US Federal Reserve left its key interest rate unchanged for the second time in its last three meetings while suggesting further increases could be coming.  Experts today said markets are now suggesting a higher neutural rate of interest, or R-star.今天的第一次全体会议重点讨论了全球化的未来。在圆桌讨论中，专家们重点讨论了全球货币政策，外国央行一直在采取积极举措抑制通胀。本周三，美国联邦储备委员会在过去三次会议中第二次维持主要利率不变，同时暗示可能会进一步加息。专家们今天表示，市场现在暗示着更高的中性利率。Nathan Sheets, Global Chief Economist, Citi内森·希茨 花旗集团全球首席经济学家 “I think I see a higher cyclical R-star. I don't know if it's as high as 4, but I can easily get my head around 3 or something a little bit higher, which is compared to the Fed docs, they're writing down 2 and a half. I see 50, 75 basis points pretty easy to justify. We have seen in the economy, it's ongoing, very robust pent-up demand for services and that spending has been relatively insensitive to policy price and many other economic parameters【参数】. And given that momentum in the economy, arguably, it has taken, it may continue to take somewhat more restraint for monetary policy to be able to bring things back into balance.”“我看到了更高的中性利率。我不知道它是否高达4，但我可以轻易理解为3左右或更高一点，比起美联储的政策——他们定为2.5。在我看来, 50、75个基点是很容易做到的。在经济中，对服务业的压抑需求非常强劲，而且这种支出对政策价格和许多其他经济参数相对不敏感。可以说，鉴于这种经济势头，货币政策可能需要继续采取更多的限制措施，才能使经济恢复平衡。”Other experts warned of some upward pressure on the neutral rate brought about by debt increases.其他专家警告债务增加会给中性利率带来一定的上升压力。Jason Furman, Former Chairman, Council of Economic Advisers of the White House贾森·弗曼 白宫经济顾问委员会前主席“Now we have a lot more debt than we had four years ago. That debt puts upward pressure on the neutral rate. If you forced me to pick a number, I would pick a number like 75 basis points, which is above what the Fed says. If you would force me four years ago, I would effect a number probably 25 basis points, which was below what the Fed was saying at the time. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was even higher than that. And it's something where you need to watch closely in the next few years.”现在，我们的债务比四年前多了很多。这些债务给中性利率带来了上升压力。如果你非要我选择一个数字，我会选择 75个基点，这个数字高于美联储所说的数字。如果你迫使我让我在四年前选择一个数字，我会选可能是 25个基点，这个数字低于美联储当时所说的数字。但如果比这更高，我也不会感到惊讶。这也是未来几年需要密切关注的问题。Consumer inflation in the US has dropped from a year-over-year peak of 9.1% in June 2022 to 3.7% last month, yet is still well above the Fed's 2% target, and Fed officials have signaled that they may well raise rates once more this year. This week the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England both decided to hold their interest rates steady for now.  At the plenary session today, Wang Yiming from the Monetary Policy Committee at the People's Bank of China noted that for the past three years, China has been holding its interest rates relatively steady, focusing on maintaining a consistent monetary policy.美国消费通胀率已从2022年6月的同比峰值9.1%降至上个月的3.7%，但仍远高于美联储 2%的目标，美联储官员已表示今年很可能再次加息。本周，日本央行和英国央行均决定暂时维持利率稳定。在今天的全体会议上，我国央行货币政策委员会的王一鸣指出，过去三年来，中国一直保持相对稳定的利率，重点是要保持货币政策的连贯性。3.

That increased demand is being seen here as well in personal consumption of gold, driven by the younger generation, with a surge in their appetite for the precious metal. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan has found out that their demand is increasing whether they shop in the brick and mortar shops, or on the e-commerce sites.中国的黄金价格上周创下了新纪录，央行在今年前六个月增加了387吨黄金库存。这种需求的增长也体现在个人黄金消费上，年轻一代对贵金属的需求激增。本台记者张诗旋发现，无论是实体店，还是线上网购，他们对黄金的需求都在增加。Gold——The idea of it is often tied to a stereotype of old-fashioned wealth, but now its being turned into niche designs appealing to a wide range of younger purchasers. This store in Shanghai's Yuyuan Garden has found more than half of its clients are now young people - though heritage gold jewelry - gold products integrating traditional Chinese styles with modern designs - is turning out to be a major attraction.黄金——人们对它的概念往往与老式财富的刻板印象联系在一起，但现在，黄金正被转化为吸引众多年轻买家的小众设计。位于上海豫园的这家商店发现，现在一半以上的顾客都是年轻人——尽管是传统黄金首饰--融合了中国传统风格和现代设计的黄金产品——正成为一大亮点。“Heritage gold jewelry is unique. I like the craftsmanship【技艺】. It's now hard to find craftsman. I want to buy it to pay the respects to the crafts.”“我觉得古法会比较别致，老法，我也很喜欢那种工艺，现在很难找到师傅会那种工艺，所以会觉得买了也尊重工艺。”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 记者“This year has shown a strong demand for gold, both for jewelry and for investment. The World Gold Council reports that China's domestic gold jewelry demand increased by 17% year-on-year to 328 metric tons in the first six months. Many of the purchases came from the younger generation. Some buy the jewelry【珠宝】for daily wear. And some for weddings.”今年，无论是首饰还是投资，黄金需求都十分强劲。世界黄金协会报告称，上半年中国国内黄金首饰需求同比增长17%，达到328公吨。许多购买者来自年轻一代，他们购买首饰是为了日常佩戴，还有一些是为了结婚。Chen Mengyi, Regional Manager, Shanghai Yuyuan Garden Area, Laomiao陈梦逸 老庙上海豫园区区域经理 “Compared with what it was in the past, the per customer transaction has been rising significantly. For wedding scenarios, we have launched a new series catering to the diversified, fashionable and customized demand from Generation Z. The series has broken traditional wearing assumptions. It fits for the grand occasion of a wedding, while is also suitable for daily wear. ”“根据以往来比的话，现在客单价显著上升。根据婚礼场景，现在“Z世代”多元化时尚个性化需求，这个系列打破了传统的佩戴局限，不光满足于婚嫁当时的隆重场合，也可以融入日常的生活佩戴。”Online shoppers have proved increasingly keen on gold investments. Data from e-commerce site Pinduoduo show that during the Qixi Festival, China's Valentine's Day, which fell on August 22nd this year, people born between 1995 and 2000 put in more orders than women over 45, who in the past were the primary consumers of gold.  Male consumers aged between 18 and 25 accounted for the fastest growth in gold purchasing on the platform.事实证明，网上购物者越来越热衷于黄金投资。拼多多的数据显示，在今年8月22日中国情人节 "七夕节 "期间，1995年至2000年出生的人比45岁以上的女性下了更多的订单，而45岁以上的女性过去是黄金的主要消费者。18至25岁的男性消费者在该平台上的黄金购买量增长最快。Cao Jing, PR Director, Pinduoduo曹静 拼多多公共事务部总监 “Gold beads, gold bars, and pure gold have become hot search words for young people on Pinduoduo. Their gold purchasing objectives have shifted from pleasing themselves to investment. Many of the young people say they want good value for their money when buying gifts, but that a sense of formal significance is also important. And of course gold holds its value.”“现在金豆子、金条、足金已经成为了年轻人在拼多多平台上购买的搜索热词，悦己性消费逐渐转向为扫货式、投资式消费，我们接触到的很多年轻人也表示在购买礼品的时候性价比要有，也要有，购买黄金可以保值。”Gold prices have remained high this year, standing at around 600 yuan per gram today. To stimulate gold consumption, the e-commerce site has been offering promotional subsidies and group purchasing, and also making available cheaper prices to those who win a chance to buy limited-offer products.  今年以来，黄金价格一直居高不下，目前为每600元左右。为了刺激黄金消费，该线上平台一直在提供促销补贴和团购，还为赢得购买限量产品机会的人提供更便宜的价格。3. PICASSO PAINTING, EINSTEIN MANUSCRIPTS UP FOR AUCTION爱因斯坦手稿 毕加索原作现身上海佳士得十年秋拍Works by Pablo Picasso, Yayoi Kusama and Yoshitomo Nara are now at Christie's gallery as the auction house's Shanghai branch celebrates its 10th anniversary. Also, for the first time, the house is auctioning 'manu-scripts on the Chinese mainland -- this time, a set by 'Albert Einstein. Reporter Sun Siqi takes us there.在佳士得上海分部庆祝成立十周年之际，巴勃罗·毕加索、草间弥生和奈良美智的作品现身佳士得秋拍。此外，佳士得拍卖行还首次在中国大陆拍卖"手稿"—这次是阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦的一套手稿。记者孙思奇带我们了解详情。The exhibition opens with Picasso's oil-pastel-on-paper that's understood to be a self-portrait of the 20th century master as he entered his final years. The richly colored man is reminiscent of Spain's Golden Age, which is likely Picasso's self reflection as he looked back upon his prime years. 展览以毕加索的纸上油彩作品拉开帷幕，据了解，这是这位20世纪艺术大师步入晚年时的自画像。这个色彩丰富的人让人联想到西班牙的黄金时代，这很可能是毕加索在回顾他的黄金岁月时的自我反思。Also gaze into this enigmatic piece by Zao WouKi. An artist educated in China but matured in France, he used techniques that straddled【横跨】 both worlds, and his works are now arguably the most expensive in the world by an Asian painter.此外，您还可以欣赏赵无极的这件神秘的作品。赵无极在中国接受教育，在法国成长，他使用的技法横跨两个世界，他的作品现在可以说是世界上最昂贵的亚洲画家的作品。Yi Ziwei, Specialist, Christie's 20th/21st Century Art易紫薇 佳士得二十及二十一世纪艺术部专家“At the top of the work, you'll notice the oil was diluted【稀释】, creating an impression of Chinese water color painting. The middle of the work is packed with wide brush strokes with oil. It's a combination of Eastern and Western techniques.”“在作品的顶部，你会发现油彩被稀释了，给人一种中国水彩画的感觉。作品的中间部分则是用油彩描绘的宽笔触。这是东西方技法的结合。”The exhibition is ripe with the works of Yoshitomo Nara and Yayoi Kusama, two well-established modern artists. But a collector may find it refreshing that half of the collection are pieces created by younger artists in the 30-to-45 age bracket. With bright colors and eerie eyes, they paint their observation of chaos in the urban environment. 展览中不乏奈良美智和草间弥生这两位久负盛名的现代艺术家的作品。不过，让藏家耳目一新的是，其中一半藏品是30至45岁年轻艺术家的作品。他们用鲜艳的色彩和阴森的目光，描绘出他们对城市环境混乱的观察。Across 10 years, the value of purchases has doubled by collectors on the mainland. Collectors in their 30s and 40s make up half of all Chinese buyers and account for a third of sales value.10年间，大陆收藏家的购买价值翻了一番。三四十岁的收藏者占中国买家总数的一半，占销售额的三分之一。Francis Belin, President, Christie's Asia Pacific庞智锋 佳士得亚太区总裁“There's a perception that Millennial buyers would go for contemporary art. This is not what our numbers show. We see in the past few years very strong pickup amongst Millennial buyers for classic art, which I think is really interesting.”“有人认为，千禧一代的买家会选择当代艺术。但我们的数据显示并非如此。在过去几年中，我们发现千禧一代买家对古典艺术的购买力非常强劲，我认为这一点非常有趣。”With cautious optimism, Christie's brought manuscripts, a category new to Chinese collectors. It's a rare chance to read manuscripts by Albert Einstein as he explained the Theory of Relativity in German.本着谨慎乐观的态度，佳士得拍卖行带来了手稿这一中国藏家的新门类。这是一次难得的机会，可以阅读爱因斯坦用德语解释相对论时的手稿。Georgina Hilton, Head of Classic Art, Christie's Asia Pacific乔治亚·希尔顿 佳士得亚太区西方古典艺术部主管“So that could be a manuscript by Einstein, or it could be a manuscript by Issac Newton, or even, we can look at musical manuscripts【手稿】, like Mozart. That interest really stems back to the fact that our Chinese collectors are interested in things that teach them about humanity, about the past, about the future. ”“这可能是爱因斯坦的手稿，也可能是牛顿的手稿，甚至是音乐手稿，比如莫扎特的手稿。这种兴趣实际上源于这样一个事实，即我们的中国藏家对那些能让他们了解人类、了解过去、了解未来的东西感兴趣。”The exhibition will run from tomorrow until Saturday at Christie's gallery on the Bund. The auction takes place on Saturday evening.展览将从明天持续到周六，地点在外滩佳士得画廊。拍卖会将于周六晚上举行。#热词加油站 manuscripts /ˈmænjʊskrɪpts/【手稿】diluted /daɪˈluːt/【稀释】straddled /ˈstrædl/【横跨】jewelry /ˈdʒuːəlri/【珠宝】craftsmanship /ˈkrɑːftsmənʃɪp/【技艺】 订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

The area includes old villages and tea forests where farmers still follow growing practices that began in the 10th century. Now Ai Bei tells us more about what's special about the area...联合国教科文组织世界遗产委员会昨天中国“普洱景迈山古茶林文化景观”列入《世界遗产名录》。该地区包括古老的村落和茶林，那里的农民仍然沿用始于公元10世纪的种植方法。现在由爱新觉罗贝向我们详细介绍该地区的独特之处。The "Cultural Landscape of Old Tea Forests of Jingmai Mountain in Pu'er was added to UNESCO's list during its 45th session in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The tea plantations and its surrounding villages present an ancient model of tea growing developed 1,000 years ago by the Blang and Dai ethnic groups.在沙特阿拉伯利雅得召开的联合国教科文组织第45届世界遗产大会通过决议，将中国“普洱景迈山古茶林文化景观”列入《世界遗产名录》。普洱茶种植园及其周边村寨展示了 1000 年前由布朗族和傣族发展起来的古老茶叶种植模式。The indigenous communities in Yunnan's Lancang Lahu hù Autonomous County developed a mode of growing known as "understory cultivation", where growers plant tea shrubs under a forest canopy. Fallen foliage from the forest fertilizes【施肥】the soil for tea trees. The jungle's rich biodiversity offers natural pest control, and the forest helps regulate the amount of moisture essential to tea growth.云南澜沧拉祜族自治县的原住民发展了一种被称为“林下茶”的种植技术，种植者在林冠下种植茶叶灌木。森林中的落叶为茶树提供肥沃的土壤。丛林中丰富的生物多样性提供了天然的害虫控制，森林也有助于调节茶叶生长所需的水分。The site consists of 5 tea groves, 9 plantation villages and 3 protective forests. Locals still use the old ways to plant and harvest tea.“普洱景迈山古茶林文化景观”由5片古茶林，9个布朗族、傣族村寨以及3片分隔防护林共同构成。当地人至今仍然使用古老的方式种植和采摘茶叶。Though tea is one of the world's oldest beverages【饮料】, this is the world's first heritage site related to tea growing. Preparations to apply to become a World Heritage Site started in 2010. The application was submitted in 2021.虽然茶叶是世界上最古老的饮料之一，但这却是世界上第一个与茶叶种植相关的遗产地。世界遗产申报项目的准备工作始于2010 年，于 2021 年提交。 Li Qun, Director, China's National Cultural Heritage Administration李群 国家文物局局长“The Cultural Landscape of Old Tea Forests of Jingmai Mountain in Pu'er fills the gap in the theme of tea in the World Heritage List. It demonstrates the long history and outstanding achievements of Chinese tea culture, and highlights China's leading position in the birth, planting, trade and dissemination【传播】of tea drinking worldwide.”“普洱景迈山古茶林文化景观填补了《世界遗产名录》中茶主题项目的空白，生动展现了中国茶文化的悠久历史和杰出成就，彰显了中国在世界茶叶的起源、种植、贸易，以及茶文化领域传播的主导地位。”It's the country's 57th World Heritage Site, joining the Great Wall, the Forbidden Palace and Mogao Caves. UNESCO defines the site as a "cultural landscape", meaning a landscape designed and created intentionally by people.它是第 57 处中国世界遗产，与长城、故宫和莫高窟齐名。联合国教科文组织将该遗址定义为“文化景观”，即由人类有意设计和创造的景观。Chen Yaohua, Director, Peking University World Heritage Research Center陈耀华 北京大学世界遗产研究中心主任Jingmai Mountain is a tea culture landscape. It is a relatively secluded landscape unit, with very specific soil, climate and moisture【水分】levels. In this area, both the tea and its culture are preserved.景迈山是一个茶文化景观，有很多特定的自然因素，比如土壤条件、气候条件。另外它的水分条件。所以这些都是它特定的自然条件。在这个地方，茶还有文化传统能够被保留下来。3.

We'd hope to go off really aggressively set the tone at the start of our season to build on into the coming months.”比赛的赛道真是令人惊叹，很明显，我现在有点累了。我还需要一段时间来适应，但在这座美丽的城市里比赛，真是一次难忘的经历。我们希望能在赛季开始时就积极地为比赛定下基调，并在接下来的几个月里继续努力。Toby Lassened, Student, Oxford Brookes University Boat Club托比·拉塞德 牛津布鲁克斯大学划船俱乐部学生“It's a very tough race, especially with the corners and everything. It's very bouncy. It's good that they've got one minute gaps between each crew otherwise it would just be complete carnage【大屠杀】and it will be very horrible.

So thank you very much for letting us be here and hopefully we can come again.”“这是一场非常艰苦的比赛，尤其是在弯道和其他地方。好在每个车组之间都有一分钟的间隔，否则比赛将是一场大屠杀，非常可怕。但是，由于主办方做得非常好，所有的一切都准备就绪，让所有的媒体和周围的一切都令人惊叹，这实在是太神奇了。非常感谢你们让我们来到这里，希望我们还能再来。”The Australian national team, Team Jiangsu, and Oxford Brookes University Boat Club topped the women's 4.2-kilometer race.

We trained in a center in Shanghai and we could see there the facilities are amazing so I'm not surprised that it's growing and it's getting better and faster.”“在她们第一排出去观光之前，我对她们说，'天哪，我要是带着相机就好了'。我们在上海的场地接受过训练，那里的设施非常棒，所以我对它发展地越来越好、越来越快并不感到惊讶。”The event also included club and university groups events, as well as individual races, attracting huge crowds along Suzhou Creek.本次活动还包括俱乐部和大学团体赛以及个人赛，吸引了苏州河沿岸的大量人群。#热词加油站 fertilizes /ˈfɜːtəlaɪz/【施肥】beverages /ˈbevərɪdʒ/【饮料】dissemination /dɪˌsemɪˈneɪʃn/【传播】moisture /ˈmɔɪstʃə(r) /【水分】 carnage /ˈkɑːnɪdʒ/【大屠杀】sabotage /ˈsæbətɑːʒ/【破坏】 martyrs /ˈmɑːtəz/【烈士】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

The Pinghe School rowing team only had a few members five years ago, but now there are over a hundred.江大欢教练，曾是赛艇专业选手，每周五下午都会带领他的赛艇队到浦东申迪城市赛艇中心训练。五年前，平和学校的赛艇队只有几名队员，但现在已经发展到一百多人。Jiang Dahuan, Head Coach of Pinghe School Rowing Team江大欢平和学校赛艇队主教练“（我们还在）其他时间（安排）队员们在学校划船机上完成核心力量和专项训练等内容。家长在一开始接触的时候会觉得不安全的，但是我们都会让学生们做一次体验日，让家长和学生们都过去感受。”“We also do core strength and specialized training on rowing machines most of the time. Parents felt unsafe at first, but we let the students have an experience day on the river before advanced training began to allow parents and students to feel it.”Beginners start in a four-person boat, and as they improve, they gradually transition【转变】to a two-person and then a single-person boat.初学者会从四人双桨学起，随着他们的进步，逐渐过渡到双人双桨，最终到单人双桨。Huang Xinran, Student of Shanghai Pinghe School黄欣然（音译）平和学校学生“It is really very different when you’re on the river. It doesn’t feel so safe like you only have a really thin boat and you don’t know if you’re going to tip over, but when you train for a long time, you are more confident about it.”“当你身处河上时感觉真的很不一样。坐在单薄的船上，感觉不太安全，你不知道是否会翻船。但是经过长时间的训练，你就会更有有信心了。”The team has won multiple awards in national youth competitions. One of the team members said that rowing helps her be a better person, even though training is harder than she expected.该赛艇队在全国青少年比赛中斩获了各种奖项。其中一名队员说，尽管训练比她想象的要艰苦，但赛艇运动帮助她成为一个更好的人。Xing Yixin, Student of Shanghai Pinghe School邢怡欣（音译）上海平和学校学生“Since we always need to like persevere【锲而不舍】, even when we get overly exhausted, and I also learned to challenge my limitations, trying to achieve the goals that I never expected that I could have accomplished. And most importantly, I learn to cooperate with my teammates, trust my friends, and these are all the important keys to success.”“因为即使在超常疲惫的情况下，我们也需要坚持不懈，我学会了挑战自己的极限，努力实现我从未想过自己可以完成的目标。最重要的是，我学会了与队友合作，信任我的朋友，这些都是成功的重要关键。”Zhou Zhi, Student of Shanghai Pinghe School周至（音译）上海平和学校学生“Rowing really needs you to pay 100% attentions in it because you need to get to how to roll the boat, how to cooperate with your teammates and to know which kind of right strokes you are going to roll.”“划船真的需要你百分之百地专注，因为你需要学会如何掌握划船的技巧，如何与队友合作，以及判断应该使用哪种正确的划桨动作。”The Shanghai High School International Division Rowing team is also among the five schools participating the four-person double sculls performance race. Every weekend, the team trains at the Oriental Land water training base in Qingpu. One teammate from the Australian National Rowing Team offered some encouragement to the younger participants.上海高级中学国际部划船队也是参加四人双桨表演赛的五所学校之一。每个周末，该队在青浦的东方乐园水上训练基地进行训练。来自澳大利亚国家赛艇队的一名队友为这些年轻的参与者提供了一些鼓励。Fraser Miscamble, Australian National Rowing Team弗雷泽·米斯坎布尔澳大利亚国家赛艇队“It’s a great sport combines being cooperate, cooperating with each other and working together as well as the strength into the net to be able to make the boat goes fast as possible.”“这是一项很好的的运动，它结合了相互合作、团队协作，以及整合力量以使船尽可能快地前进。”The organizing committee said the results for these middle school students is not the first priority, the focus is more on teaching the youngsters how to work together as a team.组委会表示，对于这些中学生来说，比赛结果并不是最重要的，重点更多地放在教导年轻人如何团队合作。3.MARKET LIBERALIZATION BRINGS IMPROVEMENT IN HOUSING SALES HERE“认房不认贷”政策提振上海房地产市场Shanghai’s housing and finance regulators jointly announced at the beginning of the month that people who themselves or their family members do not currently own residential properties in the city would be treated as first-time home buyers - regardless of properties they may own elsewhere - and so would be able to enjoy more favourable mortgage【抵押贷款】 terms. This has brought an immediate boost to the local property market, and our reporter Zhang Shixuan talked to real estate agencies and property developers here to find out more about how their business is improving.本月初，上海的住房和金融监管部门共同宣布，居民家庭申请贷款购买商品住房时，家庭成员在上海市名下无成套住房的，不论是否已利用贷款购买过住房，银行业金融机构均按首套住房执行住房信贷政策。这立即给上海的房地产市场带来了提振。本台记者张诗旋采访了上海的房地产中介和开发商，了解他们的业务是否得到改善。Real estate agencies were among the quickest to notice the effects of the new policy, because they’re busier this month. This agency in Shanghai’s Pudong New Area has been receiving 50% more customers than it had been before. That all came from the positive signals released by the new home purchase policy which took effect at the beginning of the month in the city. According to the new regulations, regardless of their previous home mortgage history, as long as members of families, including borrowers, spouses【配偶】and minor children applying for housing loans do not own an apartment in this city, they should be treated as first-time home buyers for the purpose of their mortgage application.房地产中介是最快注意到新政策影响的行业之一，因为他们这个月的业务更加繁忙。上海浦东新区的这家中介公司的客户数量比之前增加了50%。这一切都是源于上海市本月初生效的新购房政策释放出的积极信号。根据新的规定，不论他们以前的住房抵押贷款历史如何，只要家庭成员，包括借款人、配偶和未成年子女在申请住房贷款时在该市没有成套住房，他们应被视为首次购房者获得抵押贷款。Herry Li, Shop Manager of Shanghai Centaline Property Consultants李先生上海中原地产顾问公司店长“9月1号的认房不认贷之前，应该有接近7年政策的，在上海来讲，既认房又认贷。比如讲在外地有个贷款记录，在上海在买房的话，它是属于二套房的话，最低的首付也要达到50%，普遍在内环或中环，大部分这个地段来说的话，首付都要接近70%，这对于一般的购房者他这个压力是非常大。”“Before the new policy released on September 1st, the previous policy had been in effect for almost 7 years. In Shanghai, previously, only people who didn’t have a residential property and didn’t have a mortgage loan record could be treated as first-home buyers. For example, previously, those who had a mortgage loan record outside Shanghai, if they wanted to buy a house in Shanghai, it’s considered a second home, and they would face a minimum down payment 50% of the home price. And that proportion could approach 70% in the downtown area. This meant huge pressure for home buyers.”The new policy brought a huge reduction in down payments, Li says, as first home buyers are required to pay only 35% of the total home price as a down payment. He adds that there have also been more people willing to sell their homes this month.李先生表示，新政策大大降低了首付比例，因为首次购房者只需支付总房价的 35% 作为首付。他还说，本月愿意卖房的人也多了起来。Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋本台记者In the first 10 days since the new policy took effect, Shanghai’s commercial housing sales ranked top among first-tier cities. Second-hand home sales led the growth. Data from Zhuge shows that, sales of second-hand homes in Shanghai last week saw a month-on-month rise of more than 18%. And pre-sold new residential properties are also climbing.新政实施后的前 10 天，上海商品房销售量在一线城市中名列前茅。其中，二手房销量涨幅居首。来自诸葛找房的数据显示，上周上海二手房销量环比涨幅超过18%。而新建商品住宅的预售量也在攀升。This residential compound in Shanghai’s Pudong New Area finished its 5-day sales subscription on September 7th, right after the new policy took effect. The 147 apartments here received bids from more than 600 potential buyers, 20 or 30% more than had been expected by the property developer.位于上海浦东新区的这个住宅小区在新政策生效后，于9月 7 日结束了为期 5 天的销售认购。这里的 147 套公寓收到了 600 多位潜在买家的竞标，比房地产开发商的预期多出 20% 至 30%。Yuan Kun, Marketing Manager of CSCEC DongFu Shanghai袁昆中建东孚上海市场部经理“尤其是一些改善型的客户，之前他们的购房的预算，可能说比如说他的预算是在800到1000万左右，这样一个认房不认贷的这样的一个政策出来之后，他们把自己的意向房源的总价段，整个的额度是做了一个提升，比如说它可以把整个的一些目标的房源放到了这个1200万左右，这一点还是对客户还是有较大的一个影响的，可能直接会反馈在一些这种这个客户对于项目的一个热情。”“Especially for some clients that are looking for a new home to improve their living conditions, their budget has grown. For example, if previously, their budget was 8 to 10 million yuan, since the new policy was launched, their target prices have risen to around 12 million yuan. The clients are more excited about new housing projects.”To better meet housing demand and promote development of the property sector, China’s financial authorities has just eased mortgage policies. According to an official statement by the government, existing mortgages for first-home purchases will be lowered. And beginning Sept 25, banks and borrowers will also be encouraged to negotiate a rate change or a swap for a new loan.为了更好地满足住房需求，促进房地产业的发展，国家金融监督管理总局放宽了房贷政策。根据政府的官方声明，现有的首套住房贷款将下调。自 9 月 25 日起，还将鼓励银行和借款人协商调整利率或互换新贷款。#热词加油站counterfeit/ˈkaʊntəfɪt/【伪造的】regatta/rɪˈɡætə/【划船比赛】creek/kriːk/【小溪】transition /trænˈzɪʃ(ə)n/【转变】persevere/ˌpɜːsəˈvɪə(r)/【锲而不舍】mortgage /ˈmɔːɡɪdʒ/【抵押贷款】spouse/spaʊs/【配偶】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

NEWS ON 09/141.MINISTRY OF COMMERCE CRITICIZES EU’S ANTI-SUBSIDY PROBE INTO CHINESE NEVS商务部回应欧盟宣布即将对中国电动汽车发起反补贴调查2.SHANGHAI RISES 0.11 PERCENT, BUT SHENZHEN RETREATS 0.57%上证综指微涨 0.11%，深圳成指跌0.57%3.INDONESIAN PRESIDENT TAKES RIDE ON JAKARTA-BANDUNG HIGH-SPEED RAILWAY印尼总统首乘雅万高铁列车：时速350公里时仍感觉很舒适----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1.MINISTRY OF COMMERCE CRITICIZES EU’S ANTI-SUBSIDY PROBE INTO CHINESE NEVS商务部回应欧盟宣布即将对中国电动汽车发起反补贴调查China has expressed serious concerns and strong dissatisfaction with the European Union’s decision to launch an anti-subsidy【补贴】 probe【调查】into Chinese electric vehicles, the Ministry of Commerce said today.商务部今日（09/14）回应称，中方对欧盟对中国电动汽车发起的反补贴调查表示高度关切和强烈不满。The ministry said the measures proposed by the European Union are a blatant【公然的】act of protectionism in the name of fair competition, which will severely disrupt and distort the global automotive supply chain. European automotive companies have invested and operated in China for many years, with the Chinese market becoming the largest overseas market for numerous EU-based car manufacturers. The ministry added that China will follow subsequent EU moves and protect the legitimate rights of Chinese companies.商务部发言人称，欧盟拟采取的调查措施是以“公平竞争”为名行保护自身产业之实，是赤裸裸的保护主义行为，将严重扰乱和扭曲全球汽车产业链供应链。欧盟汽车企业在中国投资经营多年，中国市场已成为众多欧盟车企最大的海外市场。中方将密切关注欧方保护主义倾向和后续行动，坚定维护中国企业的合法权益。2.SHANGHAI RISES 0.11 PERCENT, BUT SHENZHEN RETREATS 0.57%上证综指微涨 0.11%，深圳成指跌0.57%The markets were mixed today, but Shanghai did manage to rise just a bit. Timothy Pope has this report.今日（09/14）市场波动，但上证指数勉强上涨。本台记者 Timothy Pope 带来详细报道。The Chinese mainland markets were still fairly directionless today. The Shanghai Composite Index rose fractionally, but the Shenzhen Component fell more than half of one percent. Trade remains slow, as it’s been all week. Today of course the big story was the news that the European Commission is launching a probe into the Chinese Government’s electric vehicle subsidies. This announcement has been blasted by the Chinese Commerce Ministry as protectionist.今日中国内地市场仍相对无明确走向。上证指数微幅上涨，但深圳成指下跌超过0.5%。同本周一直以来的情况，交易依然缓慢。当然，今日重磅新闻是欧洲委员会将对对中国电动汽车发起反补贴调查。中国商务部对该调查进行了的抨击，称其为贸易保护主义行为。Many Chinese automaker stocks were unaffected by the news, but BYD - the country’s biggest EV producer - was down by 3 percent, as it has more European exposure than many of its peers. ChangAn Auto was down 1.7 percent. But EV maker Seres, which partners with Huawei, was up 10 percent, so there was by no means an even effect across the sector.多数中国汽车制造商的股票受到这一消息的影响不大，但中国最大的电动汽车生产商比亚迪（BYD）下跌了3%，因为其与欧洲的关联高于同行。长安汽车下跌了1.7%。但与华为合作的电动汽车制造商赛力斯汽车（Seres）上涨了10%，因此这一行业并没有受到均等影响。More broadly we saw energy companies continuing to rise alongside global fuel prices, while real estate and consumer stocks continued their declines.总体而言，能源公司继续随着全球燃油价格上涨而上涨，而房地产和消费类股票继续下跌。Asian markets were focused on the latest US inflation data which leaves room for the Fed to keep rates stable at its meeting next week. The 0.6 percent jump in the CPI in August was largely due to a surge in gas prices, with the Core CPI rise only 0.3 percent.亚洲市场密切关注着美国最新的通货膨胀数据，该数据为下周美联储维持利率稳定留下了空间。8月CPI上涨了0.6%，主要是由于天然气价格激增，核心CPI仅上涨了0.3%。That was enough to drag Hong Kong’s markets back into positive territory today -- although not by much. The Hang Seng added 0.2 percent.这足以使香港的市场今天重新进入了收涨，尽管增幅不大。恒生指数上涨了0.2%。Oil stocks were leading, but the other major notable was smartphone maker Xiaomi which was up by 2.7 percent. It’s settled a patent licencing dispute with Huawei, with the two tech companies agreeing to a deal which would cover technology including 5G.石油股领涨，但另一个重要的亮点是智能手机制造商小米，涨幅为2.7%。它已解决了与华为的专利许可争端，两家科技公司达成了一项涵盖5G等技术的协议。Tokyo’s markets responded even more robustly to the US CPI. The Nikkei 225 was up 1.4 percent to close back about 33 thousand points.东京市场对美国CPI的反应更为强烈。日经225指数上涨了1.4%，收于约33,000点。Optimism that US inflation and rates might be on the way down combined with hopes that Japanese inflation and rates might start going the other way, with a key BOJ meeting coming up next week too. All sectors were up in Tokyo today but there were big gains for a lot of the blue chips. Those included chip stocks like Tokyo Electron and Uniqlo owner Fast Retailing.市场对美国通货膨胀和利率可能走低感到乐观，同时希望日本的通货膨胀和利率可能开始朝相反的方向发展，尤其是考虑到下周即将召开的关键日本银行（BOJ）会议。今天，东京市场各个行业都表现良好，但许多蓝筹股取得了大幅增长。其中包括像东京电子和优衣库的母公司迅销集团（Fast Retailing）这样的芯片股。3.INDONESIAN PRESIDENT TAKES RIDE ON JAKARTA-BANDUNG HIGH-SPEED RAILWAY印尼总统首乘雅万高铁列车：时速350公里时仍感觉很舒适Indonesian President Joko Widodo took a ride on the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway on Wednesday, the railway is a landmark Belt and Road Initiative project. Lei Shuran has more.印尼总统佐科·维多多（Joko Widodo）于周三乘坐雅加达-万隆高铁，这是“一带一路”倡议的标志性工程。本台记者雷舒然带来详细报道。Widodo examined the construction progress at Halim Station in the capital Jakarta and took the train to the Padalarang Station in West Java.维多多在雅加达的哈利姆车站检查了工程进展，并搭乘列车前往西爪哇的帕达拉朗车站。The Indonesian president described the ride experience as smooth and comfortable. He hoped that the Indonesian people will use public transportation more frequently in order to reduce road traffic congestion【拥塞】 between Jakarta and Bandung.印尼总统表示乘坐体验非常顺畅和舒适。他希望印尼民众能够更多使用公共交通工具，乘坐雅万高铁，以缓解雅加达到万隆之间的交通压力。Joko Widodo Indonesian President佐科印尼总统“I’ve made four inspections to this project and this is the first time I’ve taken a ride. It’s comfortable. Even when the speed reached 350 kilometers per hour, I didn’t feel bumpy, either standing or sitting. This is an advancement of civilization.”“我来雅万高铁视察过四次，这是我第一次乘坐列车。高铁非常舒服，在时速达到350公里时，我没感觉到任何的颠簸，无论是站着还是坐着。这就是文明的进步。”The Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway connects Indonesia’s capital Jakarta and West Java’s provincial capital Bandung. With a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour, the railway spanning 142.3 kilometers will cut the journey between the two cities from over three hours to around 40 minutes.雅加达-万隆高铁连接了印尼首都雅加达和西爪哇省会万隆。设计时速达到350公里，全长142.3公里的高铁将把两座城市之间的旅行时间从原来的三个多小时缩短到约40分钟。It is the first overseas high-speed railway project that fully uses Chinese railway systems, technology, and industrial components. The railway is expected to begin trial operations in October.这是首个完全使用中国铁路系统、技术和工业组件的海外高铁项目。高铁预计将在十月开始试运营。#热词加油站subsidy/ˈsʌbsədi/【补贴】probe/prəʊb/【调查】blatant/ˈbleɪt(ə)nt/【公然的】congestion/kənˈdʒestʃən/【拥塞】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

NEWS ON 09/13Australian Business Very Excited, Injecting Energy Into Relations澳大利亚企业积极回应总理年内访华-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------Australian Prime MinisterAnthony Albanese has accepted an invitation to visit China later this year. He will be the first Australian leader to go to Beijing in seven years. And our reporter Timothy Pope sat down with the Chair of the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai Heidi Dugan, to discuss the business community’s hopes for the visit.澳大利亚总理阿尔巴尼斯称今年晚些时候访华。他将成为七年来首位访华的澳大利亚领导人。本台记者Timothy Pope与澳大利亚商会-上海的主席杜海蒂（Heidi Dugan）进行了会谈，探讨了商界对此次访华的期待。Tim:Heidi Dugan, welcome to the programme. Thanks for braving the weather to be with us. 杜海蒂，欢迎您，感谢您冒着风雨来参加本次访谈。Heidi:Thank you for having me. 感谢邀请我。Tim:First of all, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is upcoming visit to China as of course, diplomatically significant and it does show that relations between China and Australia have improved significantly. What is the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai hoping will come out of this visit? 首先，澳大利亚总理阿尔巴尼斯即将访华，这必然具有重要的外交意义，也表明中澳关系有了显著改善。澳大利亚商会-上海希望这次访华取得什么成果？Heidi:The whole thing is, is that we've had relations for 50 years now. So, like all relationships, they go up and down and I think this is just a really good sign that everyone's moving in the same direction. So, everyone from AustCham Shanghai is super excited about having a move here and that there is that sort of development of relationship and conversation. And I think that that whole concept of a thing 50 years and that there is the anniversary is a well thought up, you know, idea that now is the time to reinject sort of, you know, some energy into that relationship and to, you know, hope that it flourishes【繁荣】for another 50 years. 中澳建交已经有50年了。如同所有的关系一样，它时好时坏，我认为（访华）是一个非常好的迹象，表明所有人都在朝着同一个方向前进。因此，澳大利亚商会-上海的每个人都非常高兴能在这里开展活动，也非常高兴有好的关系发展和交流。我认为，“50周年纪念”这个概念的提出是经过深思熟虑的，现在正是时候为这种关系重新注入些活力，希望它能再蓬勃发展50年。Tim:As far as bilateral【双方的】trade goes there have been a number of sticking points, which has actually been overcome recently, of course, tariffs on several goods, including coal and barley imports from Australia to China. But some sticking points do still remain. Are you confident that those issues can be sorted out, and the business can go back to normal? 就双边贸易而言，存在着一些问题，在最近已经得到了解决，就是对产品征收关税，包括从澳大利亚进口到中国的煤炭和大麦。但有些问题依然存在。您对于解决这些问题，中澳贸易恢复正常是否有信心？Heidi:Well, first of all, we talked about the tariffs that have already passed. I mean, everyone's very excited and it just shows that again, we're moving in the right direction. Will the lobster and wine tariffs be lifted? I think that's the whole point in these conversations, it's finding an even ground where it benefits both countries, you know where supplying but then there's the consumer here that loves it and wants it. So, I think when there's a win situation, it will always end up moving in the right direction. 首先，我们谈到了关税已经通过。大家都非常兴奋，因为这再次表明我们正朝着正确的方向前进。龙虾和葡萄酒的关税是否会取消？我认为这就是交谈的关键所在——正在找一个对两国都有利的平衡点。因此，我认为当有一个双赢的局面，那最终总会朝着正确的方向发展。Tim:Education is of course another major Australian Export. And we have seen that you were also the represent, most of the major Australian universities here. There has been a bit of a rebound in Chinese student numbers returning to Australia. But are the Australian educational institutions back on the ground here in China, trying to sell the idea of an Australian education?教育，当然是澳大利亚的另一个主要出口源。我们看到，你们也是澳大利亚大多数主要大学在这里的代表。中国学生回到澳大利亚的人数有所回升。但是，澳大利亚教育机构是否回到中国，在努力输出澳大利亚的教育理念？Heidi:None of the universities left. They were here completely supporting like, for instance, the University of Sydney, they've got offices in Suzhou, and they were inviting all the students to come down to their office, to be able to continue their studies. For us, AustCham Shanghai, we really made sure that for the alumni【校友】, everyone that was trying to graduate that we can do graduation events for them, so you know that that has really just continued through the process. Will we push harder? Will we invite welcome the Chinese to come to Australia? Of course. It's such a beautiful relationship when we have students coming to Australia. They learn there, then they come back to China, and it again just strengthens the relationship between two countries. 没有大学离开过。例如，悉尼大学在苏州设有办事处，他们邀请所有学生到他们的办事处继续学习。对于澳大利亚商会-上海来说，我们真的确保了校友的学习，为每一个想要毕业的学生举办毕业活动，所以，整个过程一直都在继续。我们会加大力度吗？我们会欢迎中国人来澳大利亚吗？当然会。当我们将学生带到澳大利亚时，关系发展会变深厚。他们在那里学习，然后回到中国，这将又一次加强两国关系。Tim:And more broadly on foreign investment China's cabinet the State Council has issued its opinions on foreign investment and increasing it and has addressed issues, including competition, tax incentives, and research and development. Are these a confidence booster for Australian companies who do business here in China? 在更广泛的外商投资问题上，中国国务院发布了关于优化外商投资环境和加大外商投资力度的意见，并解决了包括竞争、税收优惠和研发在内的问题。对于在中国开展业务的澳大利亚企业来说，这些是否会增强信心？Heidi:Absolutely. I think for the Australians, the Australian businesses that are here, it's always encouraging to hear that the Chinese government is trying to find ways to support not only business but also life here. On the second level, I think it's really important for organisations like AustCham Shanghai to take that message back home, and to share that with Australian businesses who are thinking about coming into China. So, at the two different levels, I think it's important and it's really about how we get those messages out to the people here and also to the people back home. 当然。我认为对于在这里的澳大利亚人和澳大利亚企业而言，听到中国政府正在想方设法支持他们在这里的工作和生活，肯定是欢欣鼓舞的。其次，我认为像澳大利亚商会-上海这样的企业，将这一消息带回国，并与那些考虑进入中国的澳大利亚企业分享，也是非常重要的。因此，在这两个不同的层面上，我认为如何将这些信息传达给这里的人们以及家乡的人们都非常重要。Tim:Heidi Dugan, thank you so much for joining us. 杜海蒂，感谢参与这次会谈。Heidi:Thank you谢谢。#热词加油站flourish  /ˈflʌrɪʃ /【繁荣】bilateral  /ˌbaɪˈlætərəl /【双方的】alumni  /əˈlʌmnaɪ /【校友】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Our reporter Zhang Shixuan was there for the celebration and to learn more about the ship and its significance.今日（09/12），中国首艘国产大型邮轮“爱达·魔都号”第二次也是最后一次试航圆满完成，顺利靠泊上海码头。本台记者张诗旋在现场参加了庆祝活动，并进一步了解了这艘邮轮及本次试航意义。All of the more than 1,300 engineers and crew aboard were excited to return to Shanghai after the 6 days of sea trials that stretched 1,630 nautical miles. They completed 88 major trials on things like ship maneuverability【流动性】, automation tests, and safety and comfort, as well as checks on emission figures. All met the required standards and the ship has gotten final approvals from the shipowner and the maritime【海事的】classification society.经过6天共1630海里的试航，船上的1300多名工程师和船员在返回上海时都很兴奋。共完成试验项目88个，全面验证了船舶操纵性能、自动化水平、航行安全舒适性，以及排放数据检查。各项性能指标符合标准，全部通过船东和船级社的确认。Niklas Peterstam, Captain, Adora Magic City尼克拉斯·彼得斯坦 "爱达·魔都号"船长I'm the captain on board I will be the captain, so I have just been a more or less been a guest on board, make sure that every test has been done. The is beautiful, but the very successful second sea trial. The ship is doing what its supposed to do and even a little bit more. We managed all the test, the high speed test and all the endurance tests and it's a beautiful vessel.我将是船长，我目前只是邮轮上的客人，确保邮轮的各项试航任务都已完成。这艘邮轮很漂亮，第二次试航非常成功。这艘邮轮在做它该做的事情，甚至超额完成。我们完成了所有的测试、高速测试和耐力测试，这是一艘优秀的邮轮。These were the last sea trials required for the ship before it can begin sailing commercially.   这是该邮轮开始商业航行前所需的最后一次试航。Wei Shengsheng, Deputy Section Chief, Cruise Ship Project Dept, Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, CSSC韦胜圣 中国船舶外高桥造船邮轮项目部副部长 大型邮轮项目建造副经理“In the first trial, we completed tests of the ship's performance.  The second one just now primarily finished off all the navigation【导航】performance tests before the delivery. Now, we can say this ship is fully ready for sailing. After arrival at the port today, it will enter the dry dock again on September 13th, and will take its final inclination test on September 14th.”“我们在上一次试航是把船舶性能做完，通过这次试航，基本上把交船前的航行试验全部完成了，我们距离最终交船又迈进了一步，从现在来讲，我们这个船已经具备航行性能。我们今天靠码头以后，我们会在13号会再次进入到坞内，14号我们会进行最终的倾斜实验。”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 记者“The completion of both of its sea trials means, China's first domestically made large cruise ship is now pretty close to its delivery, which is scheduled in November, a much anticipated milestone in the country's shipbuilding industry. What experience or lessons is it passing on for the industry to learn from? And how will those help?”“中国首艘国产大型邮轮完成了两次试航，意味着该邮轮离交付日期越来越近，预计将于 11 月交付，这是中国造船业备受期待的一个里程碑。它有哪些经验或教训值得业界借鉴？这些有怎样的帮助？”Yi Guowei, Director of Cruise Ship Office，Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, CSSC易国伟 中国船舶外高桥造船邮轮办公室主任、大型邮轮项目副经理“This ship has 24 million components, and had close to 600,000 planning targets. So after working on this first ship, we now have formed an engineering organization model for cruise ship building, including team building, tech solutions and industrial solutions. The second cruise ship will be much larger than the first one. We are very confident that when building the second cruise ship, we can reduce the error rate by 70 to 80%, and also reduce waste. It's our goal to enhance the efficiency by 25%.”“我们这条船有2400万个零件，接近底层有60万个计划节点，所以这样经过首座船的摸索以后，我们基本形成了这条船的工程组织的模式，团队、技术方案、工艺方案。二号船比一号船要大不少，我们非常有信心将我们之前的摸索中犯的错误进行一个极大的降低，这我们肯定要降低70%-80%的错误率，要降低各种各样的浪费。从效率的提升上来讲，我们相信25%以上是我们的目标。”Wei says ship building - especially for something as complicated as cruise liner construction - requires coordinated research and development across supply chain. The large team at the Shanghai-based shipbuilder has now solved many of these problems, and is ready for its next big task.韦胜圣说，造船—尤其是像邮轮这样复杂的建造—需要整个供应链的协调研发。这家总部位于上海的造船公司的庞大团队现已解决了其中的许多问题，并已准备好执行下一个重大任务。3. 9-11 MEMORIAL CEREMONIES, HELD ACROSS THE UNITED STATES美国各地举行“911”事件周年纪念活动On the 22nd anniversary yesterday of the September-11th attacks, multiple ceremonies in the United States commemorated【纪念】the nearly 3,000 lives lost on that day. Sun Siqi has the story.昨天，是美国"9·11"恐怖袭击事件22周年纪念日。当天，美国各地举行纪念活动，缅怀此次袭击中的近 3000 名遇难者。记者孙思奇带来报道。Bells rang and a moment of silence was held at Ground Zero in New York at 8:46 am, when the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center's North Tower. 上午8点46分，悼念的钟声在纽约世贸中心双子塔遗址响起。At a ceremony at the September-11th Memorial, relatives read the names of the 2,977 victims to thousands who had gathered, including Vice President Kamala Harris.在“911”事件纪念馆举行的仪式上，遇难者亲属代表向包括副总统卡马拉-哈里斯在内的数千名集会者依次宣读了所有2977名遇难者的姓名。“The median age of all the names I read was 37. These were people in the prime of their lives. They had a lot to live for, they simply went to work one day and never returned.”“我读到的遇难者的平均年龄才37岁，他们还风华正茂，还有很多的期许。他们只是正常去上班，却再也没有回来。”In addition to the death toll on 9-11, the World Trade Center attack exposed hundreds of thousands of people to toxic air and debris. Hundreds have since died from post-9/11 related illnesses. The New York City Fire Department added 43 new names to the memorial wall just last week. 除了"911 "事件造成的死亡人数外，世贸中心袭击事件还使数十万人暴露在有毒空气和碎片中。此后，又有数百人死于与 "9-11 "事件有关的疾病。就在上周，又有43名纽约消防员的名字被烙印在遗址公园的这面纪念墙上。Ceremonies were also held in Washington and Pennsylvania as solemn tributes unfolded around the United States. 华盛顿和宾夕法尼亚州也举行了仪式，美国各地展开了庄严的悼念活动。On September 11th, 2001, 2 hijacked planes flew into the World Trade Center's Twin Towers, one was flown into the Pentagon, and the fourth crashed into an open field in Pennsylvania. 2001年9月11号，恐怖分子劫持了民航客机，两架撞毁世贸中心双子塔，一架撞毁五角大楼一角，第四架在宾夕法尼亚州坠毁。The attacks prompted then-US-President George W. Bush to launch a "global war on terror" that included a military assault【攻击】on Afghanistan. This started a 20-year U.S. military presence in the country until the Biden administration's chaotic withdrawal in 2021.袭击事件促使时任美国总统乔治·沃克·布什发动了 "全球反恐战争"，其中包括对阿富汗的军事进攻。美军在阿富汗长达20年，直到2021年拜登执政的美军撤离告终。#热词加油站 propellant /prəˈpelənt/【推进剂】maneuverability /məˌnuːvərəˈbɪlɪti/【流动性】maritime /ˈmærɪtaɪm/【海事的】navigation /ˌnævɪˈɡeɪʃn/【导航】commemorated /kəˈmeməreɪt/【纪念】assault /əˈsɔːlt/【攻击】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

RMB RISES AS PBOC PLEDGES DECISIVE ACTION TO PREVENT OVERSHOOTING央行发声稳汇率 人民币在岸离岸汇率强势上涨The renminbi rebounded strongly against the US dollar today after the country's central bank emphasized its readiness to act decisively to forestall any exchange rate overshooting【突破】. Lei Shuran has the details.在央行强调坚决防范汇率超调之后，人民币兑美元汇率今天强劲反弹。记者雷舒然带来详细报道。The People's Bank of China said today in a statement following a meeting of the foreign exchange market self-discipline mechanism held by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, that there is a "solid foundation" for the renminbi exchange rate to remain generally stable as the country's economic momentum is gathering steam, with the consumer price index bottoming out and resuming growth on a yearly basis last month. The onshore renminbi jumped on the statement and hit 7.29 as of 5 pm, strengthening by more than 700 basis points compared with Friday's close. The PBOC emphasized in the statement that financial authorities won't hesitate to correct one-sided, procyclical behavior in the foreign exchange market and will deal firmly with any attempts to disrupt market order. 中国人民银行就日前召开的外汇市场自律机制会议发表声明，随着上月居民消费价格指数触底反弹并恢复环比增长，中国经济发展势头正在加快，人民币汇率保持总体稳定的"基础坚实"。声明发布后，在岸人民币汇率跳涨，截至下午5点触及7.29，与上周五收盘价相比升值超过700个基点。中国人民银行在声明中强调，金融管理当局将毫不犹豫地纠正外汇市场的片面、顺周期行为，并将坚决打击任何扰乱市场秩序的企图。Yang Yudong, Chief Editor, Yicai杨宇东 第一财经总编辑“When China's macro-economic fundamentals begin to stabilize, overall expectations begin to be stable, and people's expectations of the foreign exchange market begin to be optimistic, the RMB exchange rate will move relatively more smoothly. The long-term stability of the RMB is closely related to the domestic policy of stabilizing the economy and expectations.”“当中国的宏观经济基本面开始趋于稳定，总体的预期开始平稳，大家对外汇市场的预期开始乐观的时候，人民币的走势就会相对平稳一点。人民币的长期稳定还是跟国内经济的稳经济稳预期的政策密切相关。”Adding to signs that China's economic prospects are improving with demand recovering, the country's increment in aggregate【总数的】social financing - the total amount of financing to the real economy - came in at 3.12 trillion yuan in August, up by 631.6 billion yuan year-on-year, according to official data. At noon today the Central Bank released a raft of new positive data including the fact that new Renminbi loans in August came to 1.36 trillion yuan, a sharp increase from July.官方数据显示，随着需求的复苏，中国经济前景正在改善，8月份中国社会融资总量（即实体经济融资总额）为3.12万亿元，同比多增6316亿元。今天中午，央行公布了一系列新的积极数据，其中包括8月份新增人民币贷款1.36万亿元，比7月份大幅增加。Yang Yudong, Chief Editor, Yicai杨宇东 第一财经总编辑“The credit figure achieved positive growth on both a yearly and monthly basis. While this increase may not seem like much, it was realized from a base of historical peaks over the same period, so it helps to improve market expectations.”“首先体现在信贷的环比同比均是多增。虽然这个增幅看起来不多，但是在历史同期峰值基数上实现的，所以是有利于改善市场的预期。”Yang pointed out that, in general, the scale of social financing reflects the condition of the economy as a whole, and the sensitivity of the RMB exchange rate to the scale of social financing has also risen significantly over the past few years, and the correlation between the two is getting stronger.杨宇东认为，一般来说，社会融资规模反映了整个经济的状况，人民币汇率对社会融资规模的敏感度在过去几年也明显上升，两者之间的相关性越来越强。3. CHINA'S AUGUST ANNUAL CONSUMER PRICES UP, PRODUCER INDEX EASES8月CPI同比由降转涨 PPI降幅收窄Data from the National Bureau of Statistics show China's consumer inflation【通货膨胀】 returned to positive territory in August, while the factory-gate price decline moderated.国家统计局的数据显示，8月份中国居民消费价格指数重回正值，而全国工业生产者出厂价格指数降幅收窄。Official data released over the weekend showed the consumer price index, a main gauge of inflation, rose 0.1 percent year-on-year in August, re-bounding from a 0.3 percent decline in July. The CPI went up 0.3 percent in August from the previous month. The National Bureau of Statistics attributed the CPI rise to the continued improvement in China's consumer market. The producer price index, which measures costs for goods at the factory gate, fell 3 percent last month from a year ago, but the year-on-year decrease narrowed 1.4 percentage points from that recorded in July.周末公布的官方数据显示，衡量通货膨胀的主要指标--居民消费价格指数8月同比上涨了 0.1%，相比7月份下降的0.3%有所反弹。8月的CPI 环比上涨 0.3%。国家统计局将CPI上涨归因于中国消费市场的持续改善。全国工业生产者出厂价格指数，8月比去年同期下降3%，但同比降幅比7月收窄1.4个百分点。#热词加油站 phenotype /ˈfiːnətaɪp/【表型】biomedical /ˌbaɪəʊˈmedɪkl/【生物医学的】overshooting /ˌəʊvəˈʃuːtɪŋ/【突破】aggregate /ˈæɡrɪɡət/【总数的】inflation /ɪnˈfleɪʃn/【通货膨胀】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Guangdong Province upgraded its flood control emergency response to its second highest level, and the China Meteorological Administration maintained a yellow warning for intense rainfall today. Here's Wang Yin with the latest.受季风影响，台风“海葵”增强，珠江三角洲多个市、县从昨天（09/07）开始遭受暴雨到特大暴雨袭击。广东省将防汛应急响应提升至二级，中央气象局今天继续发布强降雨黄色预警。由王吟带来最新报道。All right, Chen Xuan.好的，陈璇。More than 11,000 people in the southern suburbs of the city of Meizhou in eastern Guangdong were relocated. 200 people in an outlying town were trapped at home, as flood water levels exceeded 2 meters in some areas.广东东部梅州南郊的 11,000 多人被转移。但由于部分地区洪水水位超过2米，外围城镇的 200人被困家中。Severe rain triggered mud-slides in close to 400 highway and provincial road segments.暴雨引发近400处高速公路和省内公路现泥石流。Also in eastern Guangdong, low-lying towns surrounding the city of Jieyang were significantly flooded. 207 people were rescued or relocated. 同样在广东东部，揭阳市周边的低洼乡镇严重受淹。207人获救和被转移。In the city of Guangzhou, the provincial capital, multiple road segments were severely flooded. One Metro Line 3 station in the southern suburbs was closed, and schools were closed in multiple districts. More than 2,500 people were relocated across the city as of this morning. For the first time in 2 years, Guangzhou issued a city-wide red warning for heavy rainfall. 在省会广州市，多个路段严重受淹。南郊的地铁三号线停运，多个区的学校停课。截至今天上午（09/08），全市已有2500多人被转移。这是广州两年来首次发布全市暴雨红色预警。Shenzhen also issued a red warning in multiple districts. 7 districts recorded extreme amounts of accumulated rain. Water cascaded【倾泻】into a few subway stations. Some downtown subway segments were closed, and all schools and kindergartens were shut down today. 深圳的多个区也发布了暴雨红色预警。其中7个区累计雨量已达大暴雨。地铁站积水严重，市中心部分地铁线路停运，今日（09/08）全市学校和幼儿园停课。The province's flood control headquarters say risks are very high across Guangdong for mountain torrents, river floods and mud-slides. 54 intercity【城际的】or regular-speed trains were suspended, though high-speed trains are still in operation. 广东省防汛防旱防风总指挥部称，广东省发生山洪和地质灾害风险很高。城际54趟列车停运，高铁暂未受影响。In Hong Kong, the registered hourly rainfall at 11pm yesterday broke a nearly 140 year-old record, leading the city to issue its highest warning for severe rain.香港昨天中午11点（09/07）录得一小时降雨量打破了近140年来的记录，导致香港发出了最高级别的黑色暴雨警告。As of 2pm today, 110 people were reported as injured, 4 of them are in severe condition. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange was closed for the whole trading day today. 截至今天下午2点（09/08），共有 110 人受伤，其中 4 人伤势严重。香港证券交易所今天（09/08）全日停市。Meteorologists say "Haikui" didn't create this impact alone—the storm system was enhanced with south-western monsoon and a weak cold front from the East China Sea. Together, they created massive, growing convective【对流的】clouds that dropped an extraordinary amount of rain­—in roughly the same way "Doksuri" poured over northern China just over a month ago. 气象员称，"海葵"并非单独造成这种影响的——台风在移动过程中，与西南季风和来自东海的弱冷锋共同形成了巨大的、不断增长的对流云团，触发了强降雨——这与一个多月前台风“杜苏芮”在中国北部降雨的方式大致相同。Voice of Hu Xiao, Meteorologist, China Meteorological Administration胡啸中国天气网首席气象分析师“"Haikui" was a mere tropical storm when it made landfall, but it was replenished by inflow from the monsoon when it was traveling west. There was an abundance of water vapor, which condensed into massive rainfall when it came in contact with cold front from the north.”“台风“海葵”在上岸之后是一个相对较弱的热带风暴，但是它逐渐西行的过程当中有了充足的偏南偏西南的这种季风的支持，再加上北侧会有冷空气的参与，所以就会制造非常明显的降雨。”2. 2023 SHANGHAI TOURISM FESTIVAL TO OPEN NEXT SATURDAY上海旅游节：70家景点门票半价文旅优惠活动多The 34th Shanghai Tourism Festival will open next Saturday with various attractions in the city offering half-price admission during the event.

ARTS AND CRAFTS MASTER RESTORES, FURTHER DEVELOPS FALANGCAI WARES宫廷珐琅彩传承人王辉作品展在上海中心珐琅厅开幕Dozens of new falangcai wares by master Wang Hui are on display in the Baoku Culture Center at Shanghai Tower. Fanglacai refers to overglazed enamel porcelain produced at the workshops of the Forbidden City. Reporter Zhang Hong spoke with master Wang to learn about how he replicated the ancient falangcai wares, and further developed a new material for an even better aesthetic【美的】.王辉大师的数十件珐琅彩新作在在上海中心珐琅厅正式开幕。珐琅彩是指紫禁城作坊生产的釉上彩瓷器。记者张泓采访了王辉大师，了解他如何复制古代的粉彩器皿，并进一步开发新材料使其更美。Falangcai are porcelain wares that were painted in the imperial workshops in Beijing during the Qing Dynasty with enamels introduced from the West. They were made exclusively for the imperial court and royal family. 珐琅彩是清代宫廷从西方引进的珐琅彩瓷器。这些瓷器专为宫廷和皇室而作。Xu Taosheng, Deputy Director, Jingdezhen China Ceramics Museum徐桃生中国陶瓷博物馆副馆长“White porcelain produced in Jingdezhen were transported to the imperial workshop and royal craftsman painted them withenamel【瓷器】. The production of Falangcai didn't last for a long time as the enamels were imported and very precious. Also the technique is difficult to master. The technique was lost after the Qianlong reign, but following the reforms of the early eighties, craftsmen were able to attempt a revival of the traditional techniques.”“从景德镇烧好瓷胎以后运往御用作坊，御用工匠在瓷器上绘制珐琅彩。珐琅料都是从国外进口，比较珍贵和稀少。到了乾隆后期，因为珐琅料、工艺的原因，一直失传。随着时代的进步，改革开放以后，很多工匠才恢复了珐琅彩传统的瓷胎画法。”It is estimated that there are only around 400 surviving pieces of falangcai around the world. Master Wang Hui from Tianjin brought his replicas of ancient falangcai wares. He is also showcasing a new material he developed called "bingci", or "Ice porcelain". The material allows enamel patterns to be even more vivid.据估计，全世界现存的法郎彩仅有 400 件左右。来自天津的王辉大师带来了他的古珐琅彩复制品。他还展示了自己研发的一种名为"冰瓷"的新材料。这种材料使珐琅彩图案更加生动。Wang Hui, Tianjin Arts and Crafts Master王辉，天津市工艺美术大师“My team members and I have been working on the new material for 7 years. Its major component is Aluminum Oxide. It was originally used in aviation materials. It needs to be heated at 1850 degrees, much higher than ordinary porcelain. It's also much harder. It's much transparent. But coloring it a more complicated process. The paint needs to be fired 7 to 9 times to be vivid.”“我和我的团队研发这个冰瓷是三氧化二铝为主要的成分，到现在研发7年，这个东西原来是用于航空材料的。他的烧制温度已经达到了1850度，烧制温度和硬度远远超过古代的陶瓷，透光度比较高。工艺要求比原来还要难度大，在冰瓷上要色彩，普通陶瓷上做一遍，我们可能要7到9遍烧制才能达到更好的效果。”Wang called the material "porcelain 2.0" as he regards it as a further development of the traditional technique. Wang said its jade-like texture makes it possible for more contemporary applications like watches and bracelets【手镯】.王辉大师将这种材料称为"瓷器 2.0"，因为他认为这是对传统技术的进一步发展。他说，这种材料具有玉石般的质感，因此可以有更现代的用途，比如手表和手镯。#热词加油站cascade /kæˈskeɪd/【倾泻】intercity /ˌɪntəˈsɪti/【城际的】convective /kənˈvɛktɪv/【对流的】coupon /ˈkuːpɒn/【优惠券】aesthetic /iːsˈθetɪk/【美的】enamel /ɪˈnæml/【瓷器】bracelets /ˈbreɪslɪts/【手镯】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Politicizing economic and trade issues and overstretching the concept of national security, Li added, will seriously affect bilateral relations and mutual trust, as well as undermine the interests of companies and people of the two countries, which would have a disastrous impact on the global economy. Li noted the two sides should strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation, reduce friction【摩擦】 and confrontation【对抗】, and jointly promote economic recovery and cope with global challenges.李强表示，健康稳定的中美关系有利于两国和世界，强调中美贸易关系是互利共赢的。李克强补充说，将经贸问题政治化，过度扩大国家安全概念，将严重影响双边关系和互信，损害两国企业和人民的利益，对全球经济造成灾难性影响。李克强指出，双方应加强互利合作，减少摩擦和对抗，共同促进经济复苏，应对全球性挑战。 Raimondo said the Biden administration has no intention of containing China's development, does not seek to decouple from China, is willing to maintain communication and normal economic relations, and is willing to promote the steady development of bilateral relations. 雷蒙多表示，拜登政府无意遏制中国发展，不寻求与中国脱钩，愿保持沟通和正常经济关系，愿推动双边关系稳步发展。 2.CHINESE PRODUCTION LIGHTS UP THE WORLD DISPLAY MARKET中国制造点亮全球显示器市场After a revenue spike in 2021 spurred by pandemic-fed demand and rising prices, industrial output in the display industry began to return to earth in 2022. Data from consulting firm Shangpu Group showed that last year, the global display market saw its output value drop more than 20%. Will the year 2023 be the time for it to recover? And what role will China play in that?  Our reporter Zhang Shixuan visited Display Innovation China, an industry fair held in Shanghai to find out the answers. 在经历了2021年新冠疫情刺激下的需求和价格上涨带来的收益高峰后，2022年显示器行业的工业产值回落。咨询公司尚普集团的数据显示，去年全球显示器市场产值下降超过20%。2023年会是显示器复苏元年吗？中国又将在其中扮演怎样的角色？本台记者张诗旋参观了在上海举办的国际显示技术及应用创新展，寻找答案。Liquid crystal, organic light-emitting diodes widely known as OLED and photoresists ... These are now among the most trendy concepts in the display materials industry. Though the market has had its ups and downs in the past 2 years and the competition has been very tough, major developers are constantly coming up with new applicationss as you can see at this show - TV panels, AR and VR displays, and even automobiles.液晶、有机发光二极管（俗称"OLED"）、光刻胶......这些都是目前显示材料行业最时髦的概念。尽管过去两年市场起起伏伏，竞争非常激烈，但正如您在本次展会上看到的那样，主要开发商正在不断推出新的应用——电视面板、AR和VR显示屏，甚至是汽车领域。Damien Tuleu, Head of Display Solutions of Merck Electronics达米安·图勒 默克电子公司显示解决方案主管“Right now we are more or less kind of in a cycle where we have seen defeated downturn for the last past two years after the booming of post-COVID requirements, but we expect definitely that cycle, I hope to end by end of this year. What we have seen so far in the market that we have seen definitely a slightly rebound in TV panels, where our customers and the customer for our customers has been rebuilding inventory, which has created some demand in TV partners. What we're hearing right now from the industry is that 2023, we called it as a kind of transition year and we expect 2024 to be defective as a year where we see more recovery in demand and moving forward.”“目前，我们基本正处于一个周期中，在经历了疫情后需求的繁荣之后，过去两年我们已经见证了下滑。，但我们预计这个周期肯定会结束，我希望能在今年年底结束。在市场上，我们已经明显看到电视面板出现了轻微的反弹，我们的客户和我们客户的客户一直在重建库存，这在电视合作伙伴方面创造了一些需求。从行业现在传来的信息是，2023年被视为一个过渡年，我们预计2024年将成为一个复苏需求更强劲的年份，然后向前推进。”Though the global display market witnessed a shrinking in production output last year, data from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that in 2022 China accounted for 36% of the market share in the global new display industry. Industrial output of display panels in the country accounted for almost half of the world's total. 尽管去年全球显示器市场的产量出现了萎缩，但中国工信部的数据显示，2022年中国在全球新型显示器行业中占据了36%的市场份额。中国的显示面板工业产量几乎占到全球总量的一半。Damien Tuleu, Head of Display Solutions of Merck Electronics达米安·图勒乌 默克显示科技显示解决方案负责人“China is definitely upfront in terms of display manufacturing. And what we are seeing right now is there is definitely a huge focus on gaming, looking at two main factors for gaming. One is response time to be as fast as possible. And second aspect is contrast ratio.”“在显示屏制造方面，中国无疑处于领先地位。我们现在看到的是，中国对游戏领域的关注度非常高，游戏有两个主要因素。一个是响应时间要尽可能快。第二个方面是对比度比率。”The series of innovations in new materials are all about catching up with the market demand here.这一系列新材料的创新都是为了迎合市场需求。“我们是面板厂，我们公司在福建省莆田市。我们就是要找制造成本可以更优化的材料，希望能够达到我们的要求，达到客户质量的要求，成本又能更多控制。”“I’m from a panel manufacturer from the Fujian City of Putian. We want to find a material that can meet the quality requirements set by our clients, and can save costs.”When orders pile up, sufficient production capacity will be another point of competition. Last September, Merck's first OLED materials production site in China began operation in Shanghai's Pudong New Area, with an investment of 9.8 million euros. Its Electronics Technology Center in China has also been completed and began operation in Shanghai, which cost the company another 30 million euros.当订单堆积如山时，充足的产能将成为另一个竞争点。去年9月，默克在中国的首个OLED材料生产基地在上海浦东新区投产，投资额达980万欧元。此外，默克在中国的电子技术中心也已在上海建成并投入运营，该中心耗资3000万欧元。Yu Sui, Managing Director of Merck Electronics China隋郁默克显示科技（中国）总经理“We had a manufacturing site in Jingqiao for the liquid crystal manufacturing and also we have a site in Suzhou for the display photoresist manufacture. So all those product already achieved fully localization. And of course, even the innovation we also have R&D centers, so for new liquid crystals, for a lot of customers in China, several customers already here in this center this time, those material we innovate together with them, we work with them and to develop new mixtures to enable their new devices, new advanced displays.”"我们在金桥有一个液晶生产基地，在苏州也有一个显示器光刻胶生产基地。因此，所有这些产品都已经实现了完全本地化。当然，即使是创新，我们也有研发中心，所以对于新的液晶，对于中国的很多客户，这次已经有几家客户来到了这个中心，我们与他们一起创新这些材料，与他们一起开发新的混合物，以实现他们的新设备、新的先进显示器。"Official data shows that last year China produced and delivered 160 million square meters of display pandels, accounting for almost 70% of the global total, an increase of 5 percentage points from a year ago.官方数据显示，去年中国生产和交付了1.6亿平方米的显示器面板，占全球总量的近70%，比一年前增加了5个百分点。3.UKRAINE SAYS TWO KILLED, THREE INJURED IN EARLY MORNING ROCKET ATTACK ON KYIV乌克兰首都基辅遭火箭弹袭击两死三伤The mayor【市长】 of Kyiv said that the city was attacked in the early hours of this morning.

NEWS ON 08/241.JAPAN STARTS RELEASING FUKUSHIMAWASTEWATER INTO OCEAN日本福岛第一核电站正式启动核污染水排海2. CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTRY ISSUES STATEMENT ON RADIOACTIVE WATER RELEASE外交部：日本强推核污染水排海，不正当、不合理、不必要3. BRICS’ DEVELOPMENT BANK STUDIES LOCAL CURRENCY AND GREEN LOANS金砖国家新开发银行持续扩大“朋友圈”----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1.JAPAN STARTS RELEASING FUKUSHIMAWASTEWATER INTO OCEAN日本福岛第一核电站正式启动核污染水排海Japan started releasing treated radioactive wastewater from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean this afternoon, while hundreds of Japanese gathered in central Tokyo to protest the plan. Now,Wang Yin tells us more details.今天（08/24）下午，日本正式开始从福岛第一核电站向太平洋排放经过处理的放射性废水，数百位日本民众聚集在东京市中心抗议这一计划。王吟带来详细报道。All right, Chen Xuan.好的，陈璇。According to Tokyo Electric Power Company, a staff member turned on a sea-water pump at around 1pm local time, marking the beginning of the controversial ocean discharge. The treated radioactive wastewater has been diluted【稀释】as planned before being discharged via an underwater tunnel 1 kilometer from the plant. About 1.34 million tons of nuclear-contaminated water are now stored in about 1,000 tanks at the plant. As scheduled, in 2023, about 31,200 tons of the wastewater will be discharged in four batches, about 7,800 tons each time. TEPCO said it would take up to 30 years or even longer for the contaminated water to be released into the ocean.东京电力公司称，当地时间下午1点左右，一名工作人员打开了海水泵，标志着备受争议的核污水海洋排放计划开始实施。经过处理的放射性废水已按计划稀释，然后通过距离核电站1公里的海底隧道排放。目前，约有134万吨核污染水储存在核电站的约1000个储水罐中。按照计划，2023年将分四批排放约31,200吨废水，每次约7,800吨。东京电力公司表示，这些受污染的水需要长达30年甚至更长的时间才能被全部排放到海洋中。Hit by a magnitude-9.0 earthquake and an ensuing tsunami in March 2011, the Fukushima plant suffered core meltdowns that released radiation, resulting in a level-7 nuclear accident, the highest on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale. The plant has been generating a massive amount of water tainted with radioactive substances from cooling the nuclear fuel in the reactor buildings. The operator built over 1,000 steel tanks on site with a capacity of about 1.37 million cubic meters to store the water.2011年3月，一场9.0级地震和随之而来的海啸袭击了福岛核电站，导致核电站核芯熔毁并释放出辐射，造成了国际核与辐射事件分级表中最高级别的7级核事故。该核电站在冷却反应堆厂房内的核燃料时产生了大量含有放射性物质的水。运营商在现场建造了1,000多个钢罐，容量约为137万立方米，用于储存这些废水。Jim Smith, Professor of Environmental Science, Portsmouth University吉姆·史密斯，朴茨茅斯大学环境科学教授“One is that having water in the tanks isn't the safest option because there could be a typhoon or another earthquake which would cause a leak in the tank. You see that it's full of these wastewater tanks and it's preventing them from getting on with, what to me is the more important problem, of decommissioning the damaged reactors at Fukushima themselves.”“（核污水排海）其中一个原因是，将水储存在水箱中并不是最安全的选择，因为台风或地震都可能导致水箱泄漏。在我看来，更重要的问题是福岛受损反应堆的停用。”The Japanese government has proposed evaluating different methods including discharging into the ocean, burying underground, releasing by steam, and others. The treated water discharge cost the least, but experts warn such a discharge【排放】 without thorough scientific testing could bring incalculable damage to the human body and to the whole ecosystem in the future.日本政府建议对各种污水处理方法进行评估，包括向海洋排放、埋入地下、通过蒸汽排放等。经过处理的水排放处理的成本最低，但专家警告说，在没有经过全面科学测试的情况下进行这种排放，将来可能会对人体和整个生态系统造成不可估量的损害。Goto Masashi, Engineer & Former Nuclear Power Plant Designer后藤政志，工程师兼前核电站设计师“Radioactive materials have various destruction paths in the human body. For example, cesium can affect the thyroid gland and strontium can invade bone. Even a small amount can cause huge damage to human organs.”“放射性物质在人体内有不同的破坏途径，例如，铯可以影响甲状腺，锶可以侵入骨骼，即使是少量的放射性物质，也会对人体器官造成巨大的损害。”Experts said if the water is poured into the ocean, pollution in the Pacific Ocean will trigger a reduction in seafood consumption, tourism in coastal areas, as well as impact global fishery, food and logistics industries.专家说，如果这些水排入海洋，太平洋的污染将导致海鲜消费减少、沿海地区旅游业减少，并影响全球渔业、食品业和物流业。Hundreds of Japanese from all across the country gathered in front of TEPCO’s headquarters in central Tokyo this morning, demanding the Japanese government and TEPCO stop the ocean release. South Korean police today arrested at least 14 college students who stormed a building housing the Japanese embassy in Seoul to protest Tokyo’s release of the treated radioactive water.今天（08/24）上午，来自日本各地的数百名日本民众聚集在东京市中心的东京电力公司总部前，要求日本政府和东京电力公司停止向海洋排放核废水。韩国警方今天逮捕了至少14名大学生，他们冲进日本驻首尔大使馆所在的大楼，对东京释放经过处理的放射性水进行抗议。2.CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTRY ISSUES STATEMENT ON RADIOACTIVE WATER RELEASE中国外交部就日本核污水排海发表声明Also today, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said China has made serious demarches to Japan and asked it to stop this wrongdoing. Zhang Hong tells us more.  同样在今天（08/24），外交部发言人表示，中方已向日方提出严正交涉，要求日方停止这一错误行为。记者张泓为我们带来更多报道。The spokesperson said in the statement that the disposal of the treated radioactive water from the Fukushima DaiichiNuclear Power Plant is a major safety issue. Its impact goes beyond Japan’s borders, and the issue is by no means a private matter for Japan. To start the discharge is an extremely selfish and irresponsible act in disregard of the global public interest.外交部发言人在声明中表示，处理福岛第一核电站处理过的放射性水是一个重大的安全问题。它的影响超出了日本的国界，这个问题绝不是日本的私事。公然排放核废水是无视全球公共利益的极端自私和不负责任的行为。Wang Wenbin, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson汪文斌中国外交部发言人“我们敦促日方立即撤销错误决定，本着对海洋环境、人类健康负责任的态度，切实地尊重科学，以妥善的负责任的方式来处置核污染水。中方等利益攸关方多次指出，如果核污染水是安全的，就没有必要排海，如果不安全，就更不应该排海。日方强推核污染水排海，不正当、不合理、不必要，是极其自私极端不负责任的行为。”“China strongly urges Japan to change its decision and dispose【处置】 of the radioactive water in a scientific and safe manner, consent【同意】to strict supervision, and earnestly protect the marine environment and people’s health. China and other stakeholders have pointed out on multiple occasions that if the Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water is truly safe, Japan wouldn’t have to dump it into the sea - and certainly shouldn’t if it’s not. It is unjustified, unreasonable, and unnecessary for Japan to continue with the ocean discharge plan.”The General Administration of Customs said in a statement that as of today it had banned imports of all aquatic products originating in Japan to prevent risks from its discharge of treated radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean. The Chinese mainland is Japan’s largest market for fisheries exports.海关总署在一份声明中表示，从今天起，禁止进口原产于日本的所有水产品，以防止日本向太平洋排放经过处理的放射性水所带来的风险。中国大陆是日本最大的水产品出口市场。3. BRICS’ DEVELOPMENT BANK STUDIES LOCAL CURRENCY AND GREEN LOANS金砖国家新开发银行持续扩大“朋友圈”The 15th BRICS Summit concluded today in Johannesburg, South Africa - the first to be held by the leaders face-to-face in 3 years. Chinese President Xi Jinping said yesterday at the summit that the BRICS is an important force in shaping the international landscape. The member countries contribute more than a quarter of global GDP and have more than 40% of the world's population. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan spoke live to the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the BRICS's New Development Bank, who is at the the summit this week, and finds out the latest developments.  金砖国家领导人第十五次会晤今天（08/24）在南非约翰内斯堡闭幕，这是金砖国家领导人三年来首次面对面会晤。中国国家主席习近平昨天在峰会上表示，金砖国家是塑造国际格局的重要力量。金砖成员国贡献了全球四分之一以上的国内生产总值，拥有世界40%以上的人口。本台记者张诗旋现场采访了本周参加峰会的金砖国家新开发银行副行长兼首席财务官，了解最新信息。Today, 6 countries - Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates - were admitted as new BRICS members. The expanding interest of developing countries in joining the BRICS brings with it new opportunities for the New Development Bank, the multilateral development bank established by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa with the purpose of mobilizing resources for infrastructure and sustainable development projects in emerging markets and developing countries.今天，阿根廷、埃及、埃塞俄比亚、伊朗、沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国6个国家被接纳为金砖国家新成员。发展中国家对加入金砖国家的兴趣不断扩大，为新开发银行带来了新的机遇。新开发银行是由巴西、俄罗斯、印度、中国和南非成立的多边开发银行，旨在为新兴市场和发展中国家的基础设施和可持续发展项目筹集资金。Leslie Maasdorp, Vice President & CFO of New Development Bank莱斯利·马斯多普新开发银行副行长兼首席财务官“The bank is very excited about the strong momentum of interest in BRICS because that will also lead to more and more countries wanting to join the New Development Bank. When countries join, they subscribe for shares, which means that they bring in fresh capital into the bank. I was with the president of China Development Bank a few days ago, and all of the national development banks in our different member countries want to make sure that we function more as a system, not just as individual institutions. You’re going to see in future much closer collaboration between the national development banks, like China Development Bank in China, BND in Brazil, Development Bank of Southern Africa, for example, and all the others working much more closely to see if we can finance bigger projects together. A fewweeks ago,we have dialogue with the policymakers in India, with the regulators, with the Ministry of External and Economic Affairs. I anticipate that we're likely going to be doing an issuance in the rupee in India before the end of this calendar year. At this stage, our plan is to register a 2.5-billion-rand equivalent program in India.”“新开发银行对金砖国家的强劲发展势头感到非常激动，因为这也将使得越来越多的国家希望加入新开发银行。当（新的）国家加入时，他们会认购股份，这意味着他们会为银行带来新的资本。几天前，我与中国国家开发银行行长在一起，我们不同成员国的所有国家开发银行都希望我们作为一个体系，而不仅仅是单个机构来运作。今后，国家开发银行之间的合作将更加密切，比如中国的国家开发银行、巴西的国家开发银行、南部非洲开发银行，以及其他所有国家开发银行之间的合作将更加密切，看看我们能否共同为更大的项目提供资金。我们与印度的政策制定者、监管机构、外交和经济事务部进行了对话。我预计，在今年年底之前，我们很可能会在印度发行卢比债券。现阶段，我们的计划是在印度注册一个25亿兰特等值的项目。”Makingissuesin local currencies is now a primary focus for the bank. Last Tuesday, the New Development Bank successfully issued its debut ZAR bond in the South African bond market, making it the highest rated issuer to join this market since 2015. Maasdorp says the bank saw very strong interest in the bond in South Africa and is very pleased with the outcome.目前，以当地货币发放债券已成为该银行的首要任务。上周二，新开发银行在南非债券市场成功发行了首笔南非兰特债券，成为自2015年以来加入该市场的评级最高的发行商。马斯多普表示，新开发银行看到了南非市场对该债券的浓厚兴趣，也对结果非常满意。Leslie Maasdorp, Vice President & CFO of New Development Bank莱斯利·马斯多普新开发银行副行长兼首席财务官“We had 2.5 billion rand of orders, meaning institutions expressing an interest. And we only raised 1.5 billion rand. The investors in our bond are mainly institutional investors, meaning asset managers. They are very large asset managers in South Africa. Most of them participated in this bond auction. We also had very strong interest from the bank Treasuries, meaning the large domestic commercial banks here in South Africa. We signed 2 days ago a project for the Lesotho Island’s Water Project, which is essentially a water resource infrastructure project. That project is denominated in rand. That will be one of the first projects that will be a beneficiary from this 1.5 billion that we have just raised. We intend to become a regular issuer in the South African market. So, we will be doing future issuances to finance infrastructure projects here in South Africa that are denominated in local currency.”“我们有25亿兰特的订单，这意味着有机构表示有兴趣。而我们只筹集了15亿兰特。我们债券的投资者主要是机构投资者，也就是资产管理公司。他们都是南非非常大的资产管理公司。他们中的大多数都参加了这次债券拍卖。银行国债（即南非国内的大型商业银行）也对我们有很浓厚的兴趣。两天前，我们签署了一个莱索托岛水利项目，该项目本质上是一个水资源基础设施项目。该项目以兰特计价。这将是我们刚刚筹集到的15亿兰特的首批受益项目之一。我们打算成为南非市场的常规发行商。因此，我们今后将在南非发行以当地货币计价的基础设施项目融资债券。”Maasdorp says the bank aims to have 40% of its annual lending volume devoted to green projects. He says the demand for financing green infrastructure is large,such as renewable energy, battery storage, electric vehicles and energy efficiency projects. The bank is now also exploring the potential of issuing what are called blue bonds, focusing on water conservancy and the economy of the oceans.  马斯多普说，该银行的目标是将每年40%的贷款额度用于绿色项目。他说，绿色基础设施（如可再生能源、电池存储、电动汽车和能效项目）的融资需求很大，但该领域仍存在巨大的融资缺口。该银行目前还在探索发行所谓蓝色债券的可能性，重点关注水利和海洋经济。       #热词加油站diluted/daɪˈluːt/【稀释】discharge /dɪsˈtʃɑːdʒ/【排放】dispose /dɪˈspoʊz/【处置】consent/kənˈsent/【同意】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

The first import of re-manufactured machines has now been given the green light in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone. Zhang Shixuan explains how the new system saves time and money for everybody.  再制造是指将以前出售、租赁、使用过的或破旧的产品变成质量等同于或优于以前产品的新产品的过程，这种再制造设备正变得越来越受欢迎。目前，上海自贸区已为首批进口再制造设备开了绿灯。本台记者张诗旋为我们解释这种全新体系将如何节省时间和资金。An engine that has been working for 7 years... awaiting replacement or repair. Usually, there are 2 choices - buy a new one, or send it to the factory for repair and wait for weeks or even months. But there is another way - change it for a refurbished【翻新重装】 and updated machine, re-manufactured based on used equipment. When the user orders that as a replacement, they can receive it quickly and at less cost. The old machine will then be recycled by the manufacturer and turned into a re-manufactured one that will enter the cycle later. So, there won't be a time gap caused by repair, the replacement will be better than a repaired machine, and it’s cheaper than buying a completely new one. This is all getting so popular now that domestic offering cannot satisfy all current local needs.一台已连续使用了7年的发动机，亟待更换或维修。这时通常有两种选择——购买一台新的，或者送到工厂维修，等待数周甚至数月。但也有另一种方法，那就是换一台翻新的、升级的机器，只不过该设备由二手设备改造而成。当用户订购这种机器作为替代品时，他们可以以较低的成本快速收到机器。然后，旧机器将由制造商回收，变成再制造的机器，而后再投入使用。这样，就不会出现因维修而造成的时间差，更换的机器也会比维修过的机器更好，而且比购买一台全新的机器更便宜。现在再制造产品十分流行，国内供给已无法满足当前市场需求。Guo Li, Head of Parts & Logistics of Volvo Construction Equipment Investment (China)郭力（音译）沃尔沃建筑设备投资（中国）有限公司零部件与物流部负责人“我们之前在国内再制造的是一些小吨位的建筑设备相关的配件，包括发动机、液压泵之类，但是还没有这种大型的大吨位的特殊设备的发动机，有很多客户，想对老旧设备进行升级，但是又不满足于普通的大修的效果。另一方面有些客户他受到工期的影响，那么他无法承担大修的时间损耗，所以说他们就很希望能够进行发动机的是发动机总成的置换，但是我们之前缺乏一款很有性价比的一个产品。”“In China, we mainly re-manufacture smaller machines, including engines and hydraulic pumps. We don't re-manufacture larger engines for special equipment, but many of our clients have been looking for upgrades for their old machines. They are not satisfied with ordinary repairs, and some are restricted by product delivery time requirements. They cannot afford the time for repair. So they want a complete replacement but a new one is costly.”The company has now made the first re-manufactured goods import order in China - a large engine for articulated trucks from Europe. It is expected to arrive in China next month.目前，该公司已在中国签订了第一份再制造货物进口订单——来自欧洲的铰接式卡车用大型发动机。预计下个月将运抵中国。Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋，本台记者For years, China has been hesitant to allow the import of re-manufactured goods, out of concern the imports might turn out to be nothing more than foreign waste, and doing nothing but harming the environment. But now, it’s no longer a firm NO. The government has been trying new policies, and updating trade regulations. The complete re-manufacturing engine that allows for imports this year marks a new beginning and a milestone, that is expected to bring a market share expansion to the foreign industrial giant and also more favorably priced products to local buyers.多年来，中国一直对允许进口再制造产品犹豫不决，因为担心进口的再制造产品可能只是洋垃圾，只会对环境造成危害。但现在，这不再是一个坚定的“不”字。政府一直在尝试新政策，更新贸易法规。今年允许进口的完整再制造发动机标志着一个新的开端和里程碑，预计将为外国工业巨头带来更大的市场份额，也将为本地买家带来价格更优惠的产品。Guo Li, Head of Parts & Logistics of Volvo Construction Equipment Investment (China)“此次进口的装载铰接式卡车的发动机，生产成本只有50%，我们的能耗只有60%，同时我们70%的物料可以循环再利用，而我们会减少80%的污染排放。进口再制造产品进入中国之后，不仅能够快速地填补市场空白，未来随着销售额以及市场份额的不断扩展，我们的生产成本会进一步降低，竞争优势会不断提升。在这个基础上，未来我们可能做到产品返销国外。”“Compared to a new product of the same kind, the re-manufactured engine imported this time represents a cost savings of 50 percent and will result in a 60 percent reduction in energy consumption. The amount of materials used is 70 less, and emissions of air pollutants is 80 percent lower. The imports of the re-manufactured engine will fill in the market gap here. In the future, with the expansion of our sales revenue and market share, our production cost will be lower, and we will have more competitive advantages. We expect we can export our products overseas later.”In general, the buyer will only spend 60% of the cost of a brand-new product to get the re-manufactured one. The change was possible by expanded opening-up measures for China’s free trade zones and free ports that the State Council released in June. Encouraging the piloting of re-manufactured imports was listed in the first provision of those measures. Prior to the release of the series of new policies, used road equipment and engines were defined as old mechanical and electrical equipment and were banned from being imported into China. Once that changed, Shanghai was the first to try out the new setup.一般来说，再制造产品的价格仅为同款新产品价格的60%。这一变化得益于国务院6月发布的中国自由贸易区和自由港扩大开放措施。在这些措施中，鼓励再制造产品进口试点被列为第一条。在这一系列新政策发布之前，二手公路设备和发动机被定义为旧机电设备，禁止进口。新政策一经出台，上海便率先试行。Yang Jianwen, Researcher of China Center for Int'l Economic Exchanges Shanghai Sub-center杨建文中国国际经济交流中心上海分中心研究员“近年来再制造产业发展比较快、比较成熟，在全球制造业发展过程中间，大家形成一个共识，是一个比较成熟的一个做法。我们在对接当前的高标准的国际经贸准则的时候，这个是一个节点。再制造产品它本身具有经济性、适用性。而其中工程机械领域特别受到市场的欢迎，因为它的一个技术程度，它的经济发展的要求的强度都比较高。”“In recent years the re-manufacturing sector has been developing rapidly. In global terms it's generally agreed that are manufacturing is now relatively mature. This is an important point in international trading regulations. Re-manufactured products are economical and useful.  The engineering machinery is especially welcomed by the market, because itcan fulfill higher requirements for technological and economic levels.”Yang says that since the Free Trade Zone is now in the first trial of the new arrangement, it will help the regulator further improve and refine its policies, so as to make the re-manufactured goods trade better fit development requirement from manufacturing industry, and also correlate with international trading rules. According to Fortune Business Insight, the global automotive re-manufacturing market is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of almost 10% between 2023 and 2030.杨建文表示，自贸区先行先试，有助于监管部门进一步完善和细化政策，使再制造产品贸易更好地适应制造业发展要求，并与国际贸易规则相衔接。根据《财富》商业洞察的预测，2023年至2030年，全球汽车再制造市场的年复合增长率将接近10%。3.CHINA URGES JAPAN TO NOT RELEASENUCLEAR-CONTAMINATED WATER INTO SEA中国敦促日方不得擅自启动核污染水排海Despite public concerns and raging opposition from both home and abroad, the operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant has decided to start releasing nuclear-contaminated wastewater into the ocean at 1 pm tomorrow. Lei Shuran has more.不顾公众的担忧和国内外的强烈反对，福岛第一核电站运营方已决定于明天（08/24）下午1点（北京时间中午12点）开始向海洋排放受核污染的废水。本台记者雷舒然带来详细报道。The water will initially be released in smaller portions and with extra checks, with the first discharge totaling 7,800 cubic meters over about 17 days starting Thursday.日本首先将对核污染废水进行分批排放，并进行检查与检测。从本周四开始，在大约17天的时间里，首次排海废水量约7800吨。Tokyo Electric Power Company aims to release 31,200 tonnes of the treated water by the end of March 2024, which would empty only 10 tanks at the site. The pace will pick up later.东京电力公司的目标是在2024年3月底之前排出31200吨经过处理的水，这将仅清空其10个储水罐。以后将加快步伐。The plan, approved two years ago by the Japanese government, has faced criticism at home and abroad.日本政府两年前批准的这一计划在国内外都遭到了批评。Fujihara Toshikazu, Environmental Researcher藤原寿和日本环境研究员“In the past 10 years, the numbers of cancer and heart disease patients have been obviously higher than the levels before the nuclear accident, and there have been many people suffering diseased directly caused by the nuclear accident, including thyroid cancer. Even if there is no immediate impact of the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean, but if a few years later, the cases of diseases like leukemia increase, if this really happens, the government may also deny the causal link.”“过去十年里，癌症和心脏病患者的数量明显高于核事故发生前的水平，而且有很多人患有甲状腺癌等由核事故直接引起的疾病。即使核污染水排放到海洋中不会立刻产生影响，但几年后，即便白血病等疾病的病例有所增加，政府也可能否认其中的因果关系。”Tokyo locals said they remained concerned a day before the government released treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea.东京当地居民表示，在政府将福岛核电站处理过的放射性水排放入海的前一天，他们仍然感到担忧。Satoshi Matsuda, Employee at Pharmaceutical Company日本民众制药公司员工“I have some concerns regarding the Fukushima water release. If the government is really going to do it, I would like them to show more evidence that it won't have an effect on the environment.”“我对福岛核污染水排海有些担忧，如果政府真的要这么做，我希望他们能拿出来更多的证据，证明核污染水排海不会对环境产生影响。”Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Sun Weidong on Tuesday summoned【召见】Japanese Ambassador to China Hideo Tarumi to lodge solemn representations over the Japanese government’s decision to start releasing nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean from Thursday. Sun said the Japanese government’s act amounts to blatantly【公然地】transferring the risk of nuclear contamination to neighboring countries including China and the rest of the international community. Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson said it’s unjustified, unreasonable and unnecessary for Japan to push through the ocean discharge plan.中国外交部副部长孙卫东周二召见日本驻华大使垂秀夫，就日本政府决定从周四开始向海洋排放核污染水一事提出严正交涉。孙卫东说，日本政府的行为等同于公然将核污染风险转嫁给包括中国在内的邻国和国际社会其他成员。中国外交部发言人表示，日本推行海洋排放计划是没有道理、不合理和不必要的。Wang Wenbin,Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson汪文斌中国外交部发言人“日方迄未解决国际社会关于核污染水净化装置的长期可靠性、核污染水数据的真实准确性、排海监测安排的有效性等重大关切。中方等利益攸关方也多次指出，如果核污染水是安全的，就没有必要排海，如果不安全，就更不应该排海。”“Japan has yet to address major international concerns such as the long-term reliability of the purification facility, the authenticity and accuracy of the nuclear-contaminated water data, and the effectiveness of the monitoring arrangement. China and other stakeholders have pointed out on multiple occasions that if the Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water is truly safe, Japan wouldn't have to dump it into the sea, and certainly shouldn't if it's not.”The International Atomic Energy Agency in a final report in July concluded that the release, if conducted as designed, will cause negligible impact on the environment and human health.国际原子能机构在7月份的最后报告中得出结论，如果按照设计进行排放，对环境和人类健康的影响可以忽略不计。#热词加油站multilateralism/ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm/【多边主义】hemisphere/ˈhemɪsfɪə(r)/【（球的）一半】refurbish/ˌriːˈfɜːbɪʃ/【翻新重装】summon/ˈsʌmən/【召见】blatantly/ˈbleɪtəntli/【公然地】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

We can finally travel abroad.”“I'm from Ukraine.. It's gonna be first time. I'm expecting very good level.”“我来自乌克兰。这是我第一次在中国坐邮轮。我有很高的期待。”Luo Tong, Deputy General ManagerZhejiang Everbrightstar International Travel骆彤 浙江光大星辰国际旅行社副总经理“现在都是组团来的，一次3到4个家庭或7到8个年轻人。在此之前，邮轮旅游以中老年人为主，但经过3年的发展，年轻人逐渐成为新市场的主力军。许多人都是和朋友一起来的。”“People are now coming in groups - 3 to 4 families or 7 to 8 young people at a time. Before this cruise line travel was dominated by middle aged and elderly people, but now after these 3 years young people are defining a new market. A lot of them come with their friends.”The ship carries more than 600 passengers, heading to Nagasaki in Japan. Majority of them are group tour travelers. Luo says while previously young people took up around 15% of the entirecruise group tour, the one departed fron Shanghai today has40% of the group membersyoung people. The travel agency is nothing but excited about the resumption of group tours to 78 countries that was announced by the government earlier this month.这艘邮轮载有600多名乘客，正驶往日本长崎。大多数乘客都是跟团游。骆彤表示，以前年轻人约占邮轮团队游的15%，而今天从上海出发的邮轮上40%都是年轻人。政府本月初宣布恢复78个出境团队游的国家和地区，旅行社对此感到非常兴奋。Luo Tong, Deputy General ManagerZhejiang Everbrightstar International Travel骆彤 浙江光大星辰国际旅行社副总经理“邮轮旅游曾经占我们整个公司业务的20%左右，高峰期每年有8万到9万名游客。自8月10日恢复赴日韩出境团队游以来，前来咨询的人突然多了起来。我们的合作伙伴甚至向我们寻求帮助。”“Cruise travel used to take up around 20% of our entire company's business, 80,000 to 90,000 tourists a year at peak time. Since August 10th, when group tours to Japan and South Korea were resumed, all of sudden more people have come to ask about them. Our partners are even reaching out to us forpfuture plans.”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 记者Since Shanghai became a cruise line home port, the city has managed to take up more than half of the industry's market share in China. It is now the only city in Chinathat can offer the whole industrial chain covering cruise ship R&D and manufacturing, operation and port services. Official data released this morning shows that, since the resumption of cruise line sailing, ticket sales revenue【收入】 has topped more than 300 million yuan.自上海成为邮轮母港以来，该市已成功占据中国邮轮业一半以上的市场份额。目前，上海是全国唯一能够提供邮轮研发制造、运营和港口服务全产业链的城市。今天（08/18）上午发布的官方数据显示，自今年邮轮航线恢复以来，门票销售收入已突破3亿元。Ma Yingjie, Deputy DirectorPujiang Immigration Inspection Station,Shanghai General Station of Immigration Inspection马英杰 浦江边检站边防检查处副处长“文化和旅游部公布的恢复出境团队游第三批名单包括日本和韩国。这对邮轮行业来说是个好消息，预计邮轮和游客数量肯定会增长。我们一直在优化工作、改进程序。”“The third batch of resumed group tour destinations list released by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism includes Japan and South Korea. That was good news for the cruise line industry. We expect ship and tourist numbers will definitely grow. We have been optimizing【优化】 our work, and improving our procedures.”Shanghai's Wusongkou International Cruise Liner Port aims to become a major destination for international cruise ships, targeting 300 ship visits and 2.7 million visitors annually by 2025. The Shanghai government announced this morning that the resumption of cruise line sailing has created more than 4,000 jobs already, and that the number is expected to reach around 20,000 by next year.  上海吴淞口国际邮轮港旨在成为国际邮轮的主要目的地，目标是到2025年，每年接待300艘邮轮和270万游客。上海市政府今天（08/18）上午宣布，邮轮复航已经创造了4000多个就业岗位，这一数字预计到明年将达到2万个左右。3. DIDI TOLD TO STOP UNFAIR PRICING PRACTICES交通部约谈滴滴：停止非法定价行为Multiple city government departments, including the Road Transportation Bureau and the police, summoned more than 20 ride-hailing apps earlier this week over illicit pricing practices. Authorities said they aim to put a stop to such practices for a better market environment and protect the rights of drivers. Sun Siqi takes a look at what came out of that meeting.本周早些时候，包括道路交通局和警方在内的多个市政府部门就非法定价行为传唤了20多家叫车软件，并制止此类行为，以营造更好的市场环境，保护司机权益。记者孙思奇带来详细报道。Authorities say car-hailing industry leader Didi has about 80,000 vehicles on the road per day, but less than half are properly licensed. Out of 140,000 monthly active vehicles, a little over 50,000 had a business license.有关部门表示，滴滴作为网约车行业的领头羊，每天在道路上行驶的车辆约8万辆，但只有不到一半取得了合法牌照。在每月14万辆活跃车辆中，仅有5万余辆有营业执照。Didi has a schedule to remove unqualified drivers, but officials say it's falling behind.滴滴计划淘汰不合规的司机，但有关部门反映进度缓慢。Didi's Shanghai Representative滴滴上海代表“我们的计划是在8月至9月间淘汰2.5万辆不合格车辆。”“Our plan is to dismiss 25,000 unqualified vehicles between August and September.”“现在已经是8月中旬了，你们只淘汰了4000辆，能在9月底前完成目标吗？”“It's already mid-August, and you've only dismissed 4,000. Can you meet your goal by the end of September?”At least 80 percent of the vehicles on the car-hailing apps must be licensed by the end of the year, according to a city regulation.根据市政府的规定，到今年年底，网约车软件上至少要有80%的车辆取得牌照。Wu Xuecheng, Passenger Transport OfficeShanghai Road Transportation Bureau吴学成 上海市道路运输管理局客运处“每天约有200万人次出行，包括出租打车。根据道路拥堵情况和司机收入水平，我们计算出网约车总数约10万辆。”“Around 2 million rides are taken a day, including taxi and car-hail rides. Based on road congestion and proper driver income levels, we calculate the total number of cars at around 100,000.”Authorities say they are mostly concerned about fair pricing practices. For example, in Didi's "Discount Fast Ride" category, fares are cheaper and sometimes offered at a flat rate, which is more attractive to customers. But the drivers receive a smaller cut of the fare.有关部门表示，他们主要关注的是公平定价行为。例如，在滴滴的“打折快车”类别中，车费更便宜，有时还提供统一价格，这对乘客更具吸引力，但司机从中获得的分成较少。Earlier this month, Didi opened an option for a driver to take only Discount rides.  本月早些时候，滴滴为司机提供了只接单“打折快车”的选项。Didi's Shanghai Representative滴滴上海代表“You make less for each ride, but you get more customers.”“每次赚得更少，但会拥有更多的顾客。”Authorities said this steers drivers towards taking discount rides, which could eventually hurt them.有关部门表示，这将引导司机更多选择接单“打折快车”，而这最终可能会损害他们的利益。“价格战可能引发许多其他问题，包括延长司机的工作时间，这是不安全的。”“A price war could trigger many other problems, including longer working hours for drivers, which is unsafe.”Officials have also spoken to other car-hailing apps and set a schedule to remove unlicensed drivers from each one, saying that they will be checking on the progress. The Shanghai Transportation Commission said penalties【处罚】 will ensue if the company is still registering unqualified vehicles or drivers.官方还与其他网约车软件进行了沟通，并制定了时间表，将无证司机逐一清除，并检查进展情况。上海市交通委员会表示，如果公司仍在注册不合格的车辆或司机，将对其进行处罚。#热词加油站ample/ˈæmp(ə)l/【充裕的】revenue/ˈrevənuː/【收入】optimize/ˈɑːptɪmaɪz/【优化】penalty/ˈpenəlti/【处罚】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

NEWS ON 08/171.DOCTORS ON WHAT TO KNOW ABOUTEG.5 CORONAVIRUS VARIANT国内发现新冠新毒株EG.5！会引发新一轮流行吗？2.FLIGHT BOOKINGS SURGE FOR UPCOMING HOLIDAYS假期将至，航班预订量激增3.PIG KIDNEY TRANSPLANTED INTOHUMAN FUNCTIONS FOR OVER A MONTH异种移植取得重大进展：猪肾在人体内正常工作超一个月----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦----------------- 1.DOCTORS ON WHAT TO KNOW ABOUTEG.5 CORONAVIRUS VARIANT国内发现新冠新毒株EG.5！会引发新一轮流行吗？A new variant of the coronavirus called EG.5 has been circulating in dozens of countries. In China, the Foshan Center for Disease Control in Guangdong Province reported the variant is starting to become prevalent. Here's Chen Xuan with a look at its characteristics and risk levels.一种名为EG.5的新冠病毒变异株已在数十个国家流行。中国广东省佛山市疾病控制中心报告该变异株出现蔓延态势。陈璇为您介绍它的特点和风险等级。Foshan’s CDC reported yesterday the city now has EG.5 outbreaks, but added the risks to public health are manageable.佛山市疾控中心昨日（08/16）报告称，EG.5变异株在佛山市流行毒株中逐渐占据优势，但其对公众健康的风险是可控的。EG.5 is a recent variant closely related to the XBB variants that have been circulating for months. It was first reported in February.EG.5是最近出现的一种变异株，于今年二月份被首次报道，与已流行数月的XBB变种密切相关。Global case data show symptoms are the same as other variants with coughs, fever, fatigue and loss of taste or smell.全球病例数据显示，其症状与其他变种相同，包括咳嗽、发烧、疲劳、味觉或嗅觉丧失。Virologists say the strain isn't more dangerous than previous ones, though it contains one mutation that is known to evade some of the immunity one gains after an infection or vaccination. This might have contributed to its faster circulation speed.病毒学家说，该病毒并没有比以前的更危险，但它含有一种变异，众所周知，这种变异可以逃避感染或接种疫苗后形成的免疫力。这可能是导致其传播速度加快的原因之一。The World Health Organization last week upgraded the variant’s tracking status from “variant under monitoring” to “variant of interest”.世界卫生组织上周将该变异株的跟踪状态从“监视下的变异株”升级为“需要留意的变异株”。Worldwide, the percentage of EG.5 infections has grown from 7.6 percent at the end of June to 17.5 percent at the end of July. But doctors say people shouldn’t worry too much.全球范围内，EG.5感染率从6月底的7.6%增长到7月底的17.5%。但医生表示不必过于担心。Ling Yun, Deputy Directorof Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center凌云（音译），上海市公共卫生临床中心副主任“The WHO upgrades a variant when it shows more advanced transmissibility and reaches a certain percentage among total cases. This just tells us we should be watching out for it. This doesn't mean another wave of the pandemic has come.”“世卫组织会在变异株显示出更高的传播性并在病例总数中达到一定比例时将其升级。这只是告诉我们应该注意它，并不意味着另一波大流行已经来临。”Here in Shanghai, multiple hospitals have reported a 10 percent increase in coronavirus cases, but the numbers are still low compared to the first COVID wave in December 2022, and the second one in May.在上海，多家医院报告新冠病毒病例增加了10%，但与2022年12月的第一波感染和5月的第二波感染相比，病例数仍相对较少。Doctors say whether EG.5 results in a bigger wave of infections depends on immunity levels. Given the May wave, they estimate the strain will not result in a significant rise in case counts.医生表明，EG.5是否会导致又一波感染取决于免疫水平。鉴于5月份的感染潮，他们估计该病毒不会导致病例数大幅上升。But they do advise people who have never been infected or those with underlying health conditions to get vaccinated.但他们建议从未感染过的人或有基础疾病的人接种疫苗。Ling Yun, Deputy DirectorofShanghai Public Health Clinical Center凌云，上海市公共卫生临床中心副主任“One always gets lighter symptoms and a shorter duration of illness the second or third time they get infected. Those who were never infected or with underlying conditions could opt for the quadrivalent vaccines. They offer better defense against current strains. Get a full course of the vaccine if you can.”“人在第二次或第三次感染时，症状会减轻，病程也会缩短。从未感染过或有基础疾病的人可以选择接种四价疫苗。它们能更好地抵御当前的毒株。如果可以的话，尽量做到全程接种。”Doctors add that once infected, high-risk groups should try to take antiviral drugs as early as possible. They say when taken promptly, these drugs greatly reduce the risks of developing severe symptoms or experiencing lasting residual symptoms.医生补充说，一旦感染，高危人群应尽量尽早服用抗病毒药物。用药及时可大大降低出现重症或持久性后遗症的风险。2.FLIGHT BOOKINGS SURGE FOR UPCOMING HOLIDAYS假期将至，航班预订量激增Airfares are soaring for flights in late September and early October as many people in Shanghai are planning a trip during this year's combined Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays. Zhang Yue brings us more.今年中秋节和国庆节双节长假期间，许多上海人都计划出游，9月底和10月初的机票价格也随之飙升。本台记者张乐为我们带来更多信息。Demand has risen for plane tickets to popular tourist destinations such as Japan and South Korea during the National Day holiday and prices have jumped accordingly. The price of a one-way ticket from Shanghai to Tokyo on September 29th reached 5,000 yuan, more than 30% higher compared to the summer travel season. A flight from Shanghai to Bangkok during the National Day holiday can cost up to 10 times more than on a regular day.国庆长假期间，前往日本和韩国等热门旅游目的地的机票需求上升，价格也相应飙升。9月29日从上海飞往东京的单程机票价格达到5000元，比暑期旅游旺季高出30%以上。国庆长假期间从上海飞往曼谷的机票价格也达到了平日的10倍。Zhang Wu'an, Spokesperson of Spring Airlines张武安春秋航空发言人“与2019年疫情发生前相比，出行人数增加了48%。黄金周期间，上海-东京-大阪航线机票已售出80%。9月26日以后的航班，机票价格也在快速上涨”“There has been a 48% increase in travelers compared to before the pandemic in 2019. 80% of tickets have already been sold for the Shanghai - Tokyo - Osaka route during the Golden Week. For flights after September 26th, ticket prices have been rising rapidly.”Although airfares have soared, many still want to travel as the combination of the holidays means 10 straight days off, rather than the usual 3 days for the Mid-Autumn Festival and 7 for National Day.虽然机票价格飙升，但许多人仍然想去旅行，因为假期合并意味着连休 10天，而不是往年的中秋节3天、国庆节7天。Visitors旅客“I went to New Zealand during the May Day holiday and want to go again, but the ticket prices have increased too much. Definitely doubled.”“五一假期我去了新西兰，还想再去一次，但机票价格涨得太多了。肯定翻倍了。”Visitors旅客“I am going to Chengdu and some cities in northern China.”“我要去成都和一些北方城市。”Airlines are adjusting their schedules to meet demand.航空公司正在调整班次，以满足需求。Lou Wenjie, Ground Service Dept. of Southern Airlines Shanghai Branch娄文杰南方航空上海分公司地面服务部“Since August 15th, we have opened a direct flight from Guangzhou to Kashgar, which is the longest domestic route. For international routes, sales of tickets from Shanghai to Osaka and other destinations have continued to be strong. As ticket sales increase, we will adjust the flight schedule and aircraft types in response to changes in passenger flow.”“从8月15日开始，我们开通了广州直飞喀什的航线，该航线为最长的国内航线。国际航线方面，上海至大阪等地的机票销售持续火爆。随着机票销售量的增加，我们将根据客流变化及时调整航班时刻和机型。”As of August 15th, plane ticket sales for the National Day holiday have exceeded 350,000, an increase of nearly 19% compared to a week ago.截至8月15日，国庆假期机票销售量已突破35万张，与一周前相比增长近19%。3.PIG KIDNEY TRANSPLANTED INTOHUMAN FUNCTIONS FOR OVER A MONTH异种移植取得重大进展：猪肾在人体内正常工作超一个月Surgeons in New York transplanted a pig’s kidney into a brain-dead man, and for over a month it has been functioning normally, the transplant is a critical step toward an operation the team hopes to eventually try in patients with actual brain function. Sun Siqi has more.纽约一名外科医生将一只猪的肾脏移植到一名脑死亡的男子体内，一个多月来，猪肾一直在正常工作，这次移植是该团队希望最终在有实际脑功能的病人身上尝试异种移植手术的关键一步。本台记者孙思奇带来详细报道。The transplant recipient was 57-year-old man who fell into a coma in July due to a tumor in his brain, and has been kept alive on a ventilator. His family decided to donate his body for the transplant experiment. Doctors said during the operation in July, after replacing the deceased man's own kidneys with a single kidney from a genetically modified pig, they watched it immediately start producing urine. The pig’s kidney has been functioning normally inside a human body for 32 days.接受移植的是一名57岁的男子，今年7月因脑部肿瘤陷入昏迷，一直靠呼吸机维持生命。他的家人决定捐献他的遗体用于移植实验。医生说，在7月份的手术中，他们用转基因猪的一个肾脏替换了死者自己的肾脏后，看到该猪肾脏立即开始产生尿液。这只猪的肾脏在人体内已正常工作了32天。Dr. Robert Montgomery, NYU Langone Health罗伯特·蒙哥马利博士纽约大学朗格尼健康中心“You take the clamps off and the human blood comes into the pig kidney, turns this beautiful pink color, and then a couple of minutes later, urine starts squirting out of the ureter. It's crazy.”“取下夹子，人类的血液进入猪肾脏，肾脏变成美丽的粉红色，几分钟后，尿液开始从输尿管喷出。这太神奇了。”The experiment marks the longest a pig kidney has functioned in a human, albeit a clinically deceased one. It's the latest in a string of experiments renewing hope that animal-to-human transplants might finally be inching toward reality. The process has suffered decades of failure as people’s immune systems instantly attacked the foreign tissue. Researchers are set to track the kidney’s performance for a second month. Currently. more than 100,000 people are on the list to receive an organ transplant in the United States and thousands die each year as they wait.这项实验中猪肾脏在人体内工作的时间为迄今最长，尽管移植受体是一位临床死亡病例。该实验为该领域一系列实验中最新一次，让人们重新燃起对动物器官移植到人体的希望。由于人的免疫系统会立即攻击外来组织，该研究几十年来历经失败。研究人员将对肾脏的状况进行第二个月的跟踪。目前，美国有超过10 万患者在等待接受器官移植，每年有数千人在等待中死亡。#热词加油站订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

Only 20 out of 70 large and medium-sized cities saw month-on-month increases in new home prices, down from 31 in June. Yesterday, China's central bank cut interest rates on two lending facilities that can affect home purchase loans as well as developers' financing, and some analysts are now predicting that the bank's one-year loan prime rate is also expected to drop this month, which could have an even bigger impact on the market. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan checks out the demand for new home buying and the home delivery situation for presold homes in Shanghai.今天（08/16）公布的官方数据显示，7月份中国房价环比上涨的城市较少。在70个大中城市中，新房价格环比上涨的城市只有20个，低于6月份的31个。昨天（08/15），中国央行下调了两项可能影响购房贷款和开发商融资的贷款工具利率，部分分析师预测，中国央行的一年期贷款市场报价利率预计也将在本月下调，这可能对市场产生更大的影响。记者张诗旋对上海新房购买需求及预售住宅交付情况进行了探访。By the end of next year, the 3 residential buildings and 21 villas here will becompletedat Shanghai's Zhangjiang Science City. Though sales are not open yet, the reception center is already seeing 30 to 50 groups of clients a day during weekends. Even those from outside Shanghai are welcome just so they meet the local tax requirements.  到明年年底，上海张江科学城的3栋住宅楼和21栋别墅将交付出售。虽然楼盘尚未开售，但在周末，接待中心每天接待的客户已经多达30至50组。符合上海税收要求的非上海户口居民也可以购买。“我跟我老婆也是外地人，然后社保满5年。然后想着攒点首付，看看房子。今年刚结婚，觉得这边看个小户型的，就700万出头的。”“My wife and I are from outside Shanghai. But we've been paying local social insurance【社保】for 5 years, and so we want to save some money and buy a new home. We just got married this year. We're looking for a small apartment, for around 7 million yuan.”“主要是那个社保年限满的，然后也刚结婚，所以想在上海买一套房子。我们工作都在浦东，所以想在浦东买一个。”“We have met the requirement for social insurance payments. And we just got married, so we want to buy a new home in Shanghai. We both work in Pudong, so we want an apartment here.”The company has 14 residential property projects under development, more than half of them intended for families looking to upgrade from homes they now own.  上海中建东孚公司在上海有14个住宅物业项目正在开发中，其中一半以上是为有改善性住房需求的家庭设计的。Wei Wei, Assistant General ManagerCSCEC Dongfu Shanghai魏伟 上海中建东孚总经理助理“以我们张江的项目为例，我们从5月底接待中心开放以来，累计接待了客户1600组，市场关注度较高，大部分的客户来自浦东新区，以三口之家为主，购房主要用于自住和改善需求。”“Take this project in Zhangjiang for example. Since we opened our reception center at the end of May we've welcomed more than 1,600 groups. People have been paying a lot of attention to it. Most of them are from the Pudong New Area, families of three. Most are buying for themselves and to trade up from where they're living now.”The company has been speeding up its delivery times. This June, its project in Shanghai's Kangqiao area made delivery to home buyers 3 months ahead of schedule. It was also the first housing development in the city to makesimultaneous【同时】 delivery of both apartments and their property ownership certificates too, a big saving on paperwork time for everyone. That efficiency has a lot to do with the faster financing that is now available.该公司一直在加快房屋交付时间。今年6月，其在上海康桥地区的项目提前3个月向购房者交付。这也是该市第一个同时交付房屋及房产证的房地产开发项目，节省了大量的文书时间。交付效率的提高与目前更快的融资速度有很大关系。Wei Wei, Assistant General ManagerCSCEC Dongfu Shanghai魏伟 上海中建东孚总经理助理“往年项目贷款有1.5个月到2个月的周期，我们近期曹路和惠南两个项目的正在办理开发贷，现在压缩为在一个月内可以办理完成。我们目前在各个总包和专业分包的付款方面，都是按照合同的约定给予了即时支付，我们按照上海市的约定也每个月对农民工资的专用账户进行支付。”“In the past, our project loans usually required an application process that took one and a half to 2 months. But recently, 2 of our projects in Caolu and Huinan applied for development loans, and they only took a month. We've been paying all our contractors on time according to the agreements. We are also paying workers' salaries to their accounts according to the requirements of the Shanghai government.”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 记者It's been a year since the Chinese government highlighted the need for timely deliveries of presold homes to their owners. During the past year, financial institutions have been told to help developers with that by extending or adjusting loan repayments. Developers' loans maturing before Dec 31, 2024 have been extended for another year. And this year, as the country'sresidential propertymarketis undergoing some massive【巨大的】changes,suchfinancial support is critical to helping the market hang on until, hopefully, demand for home buying recovers.一年前，中国政府强调预售住房交付给业主的及时性。在过去的一年里，金融机构通过延长或调整贷款还款帮助开发商解决这一问题。2024年12月31日前到期的开发商贷款将再延长一年。今年，全国房地产市场正经历着巨大变化，直到购房需求有望恢复前，此类金融支持对于稳定市场至关重要。Yan Yuejin , Research DirectorE-house China R&D Institute严跃进 易居研究院研究总监“今年上半年，尤其是二季度房屋销售端的市场数据可能表现并不是很好。下半年一系列的政策，包括一线城市的纷纷表态，使得我们整个房地产市场的预期是逐渐转好的，一些房企的销售端的数据也有望进一步改善，这些资金状况的改善对我们保交楼来讲还是有帮助的。整个金融机构如果看到销售端的数据转好，那么他会愿意提供更多的资金。”“In the first half of the year, especially the second quarter, housing sales data didn't perform well.  But in the second half of the year, with the series of new policies, we expect the market will gradually turn better.

The main task for students is studying. There are different opinions on whether to include students who are looking for jobs before graduation into the labor force survey. With the improvement of the education level, young people spend more time studying in colleges and universities. Therefore, further research needs to be done to define the age range for young people in the labor force survey.”Fu also said starting this month, the surveyed urban unemployment rate of young people will no longer be released to the public, adding the statistical work needs to be updated due to the development of the economy. He added the survey on labor force statistics also needs to be optimized.付凌晖表示，从本月开始，全国城镇调查失业率将不再向公众发布，由于经济的发展，统计工作需要更新，劳动力统计调查也需要优化。3.CHINA CUTS KEY POLICY RATES TO SUPPORT COMMERCIAL, POLICY BANKS政策利率再度下行货币政策加力逆周期调节China's central bank today cut the interest rates it charges for both its medium-term lending facility,its standing lending facility, which provide different forms of financing to commercial banks. Lei Shuran explains the day's financial events.  央行今天（08/15）下调了中期贷款便利和常备贷款便利的利率。常备贷款便利为商业银行提供不同形式的融资。记者雷舒然带来详细报道。The People's Bank of China today injected 401 billion yuan into the market through the one-year MLF facility at an interest rate of 2.5 percent, down from its previous 2.65 percent. It was the second such move in three months. The MLF tool helps commercial and policy banks maintain liquidity by allowing them to borrow from the central bank using securities as collateral.中国人民银行今天（08/15）通过一年期MLF贷款向市场注入4010亿人民币，利率为2.5%，低于之前的2.65%。这是三个月来的央行第二次注资。MLF工具允许商业银行和政策性银行使用证券作为抵押品从中央银行借款，从而保持资金流动性。Qin Tai, Chief Macro AnalystHuajin Securities秦泰 华金证券首席宏观分析师、研究所所长助理“对于长端利率小幅调整，多次、少量的调整方式，更利好于投资周期比较长的基建投资，以及制造业投资这些项目，去形成更多有效投资的实物工作量。所以我们是认为现在的政策导向，很明显是两个不同的方向，对于制造业和基建投资，以促进为主，那么对于房地产市场的信心，以稳定为主。”“Regarding the small adjustments to the long-end interest rate, implementing them in small amounts but over multiple times will be more conducive to the longer investment cycle of infrastructure investment and manufacturing investment projects, allowing them to more effectively invest to support their production. We believe the current policyorientation【方向】has two objectives: promoting investment in manufacturing and infrastructure, while stabilizing confidence in the real estate market.”The bank today also announced 10-basis-point cuts to the overnight, seven-day and one-month interest rates for its standing lending facility, which also supports banks with needs of different terms. Analysts believe the moves could be opening the door to a potential cut in China's lending benchmark loan prime rate, which is scheduled to be revealed in the bank's monthly announcement next week. In June, both the one-year and five-year LPRs were cut by 10 basis points, with the five-year rate falling to 4.2 percent.        央行今天（08/15）还宣布，将其常备贷款工具的隔夜、7天期和1月期利率下调10个基点，为有不同期限需求的银行提供支持。专业人士认为，这些举措可能为中国下调基准贷款优惠利率打开大门，该利率计划在下周的月度公告中公布。6月，1年期和5年期利率均下调10个基点，五年期利率降至4.2%。#热词加油站scheme/skiːm/【计划】swathe/sweɪð/【大片区域】desertification/dɪˌzɜːrtɪfɪˈkeɪʃ(ə)n/【荒漠化】orientation/ˌɔːriənˈteɪʃ(ə)n/【方向】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

Chen Xuan tells us more details.明天（08/15）是我国首个“全国生态日”，最高人民法院今天（08/14）发布了涉及非法占用林地等森林资源民事纠纷的司法解释，以促进环境保护。陈璇为我们带来详细解读。The interpretation takes effect tomorrow.

If one or more plants of a first-level protected wild plant, or 1 cubic meter or more of standing timber【木材】 of a first-level protected wild plant is harmed, it constitutes the crime of damaging nationally protected plants. The same crime applies if two or more plants of a second-level protected wild plant or 2 cubic meters or more of standing timber of a second-level protected wild plant are damaged.解释也明确了危害国家重点保护植物罪的定罪量刑标准。危害国家一级保护野生植物一株以上或者立木蓄积一立方米以上，或者危害国家二级保护野生植物二株以上或者立木蓄积二立方米以上的，即构成危害国家重点保护植物罪。According to the Supreme People’s Court, between 2018 and 2022, courts across the nation sentenced more than 80,000 people involved in 60,000 criminal cases related to damaging forest resources.据最高人民法院统计，2018年至2022年，全国法院共判处破坏森林资源刑事案件6万余件，涉案人员8万余人。With better judicial protection of forest resources, the country’s forest coverage and forest stock volume have increased in the past few years. Since 2000, about 25 percent of the world’s newly added green space comes from China.随着森林保护的司法保护力度加大，过去几年，全国森林覆盖率和森林蓄积量不断增加。自2000年以来，全球新增绿地中约有25%来自中国。As a result, the average concentration of PM2.5 in major cities has declined nearly 60 percent in the past 10 years. The number of heavy polluted days reduced significantly, making China become the country with the fastest improvement speed in global air quality.因此，近10年来，主要城市PM2.5平均浓度下降了近60%。重污染天数大幅减少，使中国成为全球空气质量改善速度最快的国家。2.RELIEF WORK CONTINUES INHEILONGJIANG, JILIN AND HEBEI华北东北：齐心协力恢复受灾地区生产生活秩序As flood waters have receded, reconstruction has begun in the provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Hebei.

Zhang Yue has more.外交部今天（08/10）表示，中方强烈谴责并坚决反对美方一意孤行地限制在华投资。美国总统拜登昨天（08/09）签署了一项行政命令，阻止美国对华高科技投资。记者张乐带来更多报道。Designating【指定】China as a "country of concern", the order aims to limit U.S. investments in three categories of national security technologies: semiconductors and microelectronics,quantum【量子】information technologies and some artificial intelligence systems, according to the US Treasury Department. The order is expected to go into effect following a 45-day comment period.美国财政部称，该命令将中国指定为“受关注国家”，旨在禁止或限制美国在三个领域对中国实体的投资，包括半导体和微电子、量子信息技术、部分人工智能系统。该措施预计将在45天的评估期后生效。A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said that restricting US investments in China, with national security concerns as a front, is a clear act of overstretching the concept of security and politicizing business engagement. The spokesperson said that is deglobalization and a move to phase China out.美方打着国家安全的幌子，限制美国企业对华投资，大搞泛安全化、泛政治化。美方此举的实质是搞逆全球化和去中国化。The spokesperson added President Biden has made a commitment to not "decouple" from China, urging his administration to follow through on that commitment. In addition, the spokesperson said the United States needs to stop politicizing, instrumentalizing, and weaponizing technology and trade issues, adding that China will monitor developments closely and safeguard its rights.  中方敦促美方切实履行拜登总统无意对华“脱钩”、无意阻挠中国经济发展的承诺，停止将经贸科技问题政治化、工具化、武器化，立即撤销错误决定。中方将密切关注有关动向，坚决维护自身权益。The Ministry of Commerce also said the move was a complete departure from the principles of a market economy and fair competition that the United States has long claimed to champion.中国商务部表示，此举完全背离了美国长期以来宣称捍卫的市场经济和公平竞争原则。2.TRAVELERS NOW HAVE MORE OPTIONS FOR TRIPS ABROAD中国公民出境跟团游国家和地区已由60个扩展至138个TheMinistry of Culture and Tourism announced today thatthey had increasedthe list of countries and regions available for outbound【出境的】 grouptours from 60 to 138.

At the same time, China's insurance companies have received a large number of claims from flood-hit areas, and Zhang Shixuan explains how the modernized firms are helping support relief work.  台风“杜苏芮”带来的强降雨袭击中国华北地区后，政府加强对洪涝灾区的救援和赈灾工作。与此同时，中国的保险公司也收到了大量来自洪水灾区的理赔申请。记者张诗旋带大家了解现代化的保险公司是如何帮助支持救济工作的。In recent days flooding in North China has stranded residents, washed away bridges and highways, and forced tens of thousands of people out of their homes. China's insurance firms have received a flood of claims from people and companies affected by the flooding and the geological disasters it has triggered. The National Financial Regulatory Administration says that as of 10 am Tuesday, insurance companies in Hebei, Beijing, Heilongjianag, Jilin, and Tianjin have received 117,600 claims, mainly related to automobiles, company property, and agriculture.  Fortunately, the insurance companies were ready.  最近几天，华北地区的洪水导致居民被困，桥梁和高速公路被冲毁，数万人被迫离开家园。中国的保险公司收到了大量来自受洪水及其引发的地质灾害影响的居民和公司的理赔申请。国家金融监督管理局表示，截至周二上午10点，河北、北京、黑龙江、吉林和天津的保险公司已收到11.76万份理赔，主要涉及汽车、公司财产和农业。所幸，对此，保险公司已做好准备。Li Chao, General Manager AssistantChina Pacific Property Insurance Company李超 中国太平洋财产保险公司总经理助理“以往我们其实对于巨灾的一些理赔还是比较复杂的，我们是通过技术手段，通过跟气象部门的合作，我们去研究这些畜牧养殖，包括农林与我们实际的这些自然灾害之间的关系，同时设定一个触发条件，一旦触发之后就自动启动理赔，同时有一个整体的赔付基准，根据灾害的情况直接进行赔付。”“Previously, the insurance claims processes for huge catastrophes were complicated. Now with tech support and cooperation with meteorology departments, we have been studying the relationship between the breeding and agricultural sectors and natural disasters. We have set up trigger conditions which, once triggered, will automatically initiate claims.”For agricultural businesses, the company now offers what is called parametric insurance - policies with premiums set according to the magnitude of an event, rather than by the amount of losses actually incurred. That makes payouts faster, and more flexible. The insurance companies are also introducing technologies to alert clients to the need for risk prevention, and alerting them before huge potential losses take place.该公司现在为农业企业提供所谓的参数保险——保费根据事件的严重程度，而不是实际发生的损失金额来确定。这使得赔付更快、更灵活。保险公司也在引进技术，提醒客户防范风险，并在发生巨大的潜在损失前对客户发出预警。Li Chao, General Manager AssistantChina Pacific Property Insurance Company李超 中国太平洋财产保险公司总经理助理“我们的地理空间技术包括结合我们历史赔付的情况、属地的风险状况标的信息。比如这次这个杜苏芮，我们其实一共锁定了63978个客户，那么提前已经向客户发送了如何来进行抗灾的这种模式，紧接着又锁定了大概有3740个重点客户，是我们属地的工程师亲自到现场。我们可以提供一个相对远期一点的预报，比如说1到10天的一个可视化的一个预报，大概2小时有个临前的一个预报，这样的话就更精准，帮助客户在临前进行相关的防损。”“We combine our geospatial technology with information on the history of our claims and risk situations in different regions. For Doksuri this time, we sent instructions on disaster preparation to 63,978 clients. And we sent our engineers to support 3,740 key clients. We can also offer a visual forecast 1 to 10 days ahead, and a 2-hour short-term forecast, to help clients avoid risks.”The company also utilizes internet of things devices at clients' warehouses, so as to send alerts when the water level exceeds a safety limit. Foreign insurance firms have also been launching similar products. Swiss-Re this year launched parametric insurance coverage for typhoons in China.该公司还利用客户仓库中的物联网设备，在水位超过安全限值时发出警报。外国保险公司也在推出类似产品。瑞士再保险公司今年在中国推出了针对台风的参数保险。Jeffrey Pan, CEO Greater ChinaSwiss Re Corporate SolutionsJeffrey Pan 瑞士再保险集团大中华区首席执行官“We have issued a few policies to large corporates and we are in talk with some small and medium sized enterprises in China, and also in talk with certain some government into in order to promote this business in China. From the recent trend we see the corporates and the government in the coastal area, in the east coast areas more interested with those. I thinkprobably because they are more exposed to natural catastrophe events and most concentrating the assets in the development area.”“我们已经针对大型企业出台了一些政策，我们正在与中国的一些中小企业洽谈，也在与某些政府部门洽谈，以便在中国推广这项业务。从最近的趋势来看，沿海地区和东部沿海地区的企业和政府对这些更感兴趣，可能是因为他们更容易受到自然灾害的影响，而且大部分资产都集中在开发区。”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 记者According to Swiss Re's latest report, natural disasters last year brought global economic losses of 275 billion US dollars, of which insurance covered 45%, or 125 billion dollars.Much of that is attributed to climate change, economic distortion, and inflation, putting more pressure on risk pricing. The report predicts that higher premiums and tighter terms and conditions will likely continue. Experts say, however, that China's catastrophe insurance is still at a lower coverage level compared with the global markets, and so there is still room for growth.据瑞士再保险公司的最新报告，去年自然灾害给全球造成2750亿美元的经济损失，其中保险损失占45%，即1250亿美元。这主要与气候变化、经济扭曲和通货膨胀有关，这些因素给风险定价带来了更大压力。报告预测，保费上涨和条款收紧的势头可能会持续下去。然而，专家表示，与全球市场相比，中国的巨灾保险覆盖水平仍然较低，因此仍有增长空间。Edward Zhou, Senior PartnerMingya Insurance BrokersEdward Zhou 明亚保险经纪公司高级合伙人“基本上大部分的保险公司还是可以去做那个财产一切险的，但是可能像个别的，像这种台风指数等一些比较具体一个风险的一个产品可能是还并不是非常多。就是在海外应该相对比较会比中国更加普遍一些，因为国外的这块的一个保险的一个发展，还是相对于中国是比较发展时间会更长，他们的一个产品也会更加丰富。”“The majority of insurance companies are offering property all risks coverage, but not many companies are offering detailed products like typhoonparametric【参数的】 insurance. Such products are more common overseas, where development time has been longer and so there are more diversified products.”China’s National Financial Regulatory Administration has instructed insurance companies to offer efficient services through accurate predictions, solid preparations, smooth communication, simple procedures, faster payment. And specialized services are necessary.国家金融监督管理局要求保险公司着力做到预判要准、准备要实、沟通要顺、程序要简、赔付要快、服务要专，高效开展保险服务工作。#热词加油站designate/ˈdezɪɡneɪt/【指定】quantum/ˈkwɑːntəm/【量子】outbound/ˈaʊtbaʊnd/【出境的】parametric/ˌpærəˈmetrɪk/【参数的】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

At least 6 people were injured. The powerful storm continued to move north-ward today. Stephen Rancourt has more.昨天（08/08）夜间，台风“卡努”席卷了日本鹿儿岛县的奄美地区，给九州多地带去疾风骤雨，当地至少6人受伤。今日（08/09），“卡努”再度升级为超强台风，并继续北上。本台记者StephenRancourt带来详细报道。The wind and rain continued to intensify this morning, Kagoshima registered winds speeds of up to 150 kilometers per hour.今晨风雨强度加剧，鹿儿岛的风速达到了每小时150公里。Khanun changed its course and began tracking towards the southern Japan last week. It killed at least 2 people and injured over 100 in Okinawa Prefecture on its first pass through the southern Japanese islands, and cut power to hundreds of thousands of homes. More than 500 flights in southern Japan were canceled, and some Shinkansen bullet train services were also suspended. The Japanese government has suggested that more than 60,000 families in the southern part of the country should be relocated.上周，“卡努”改变了其路径，开始向日本南部移动。在首次经过日本南部诸岛时，造成冲绳县至少2人死亡，100多人受伤，数十万户家庭断电。日本南部地区取消了500多架次航班，部分新干线列车暂停运行。日本政府建议南部地区超60,000户家庭进行转移安置。Japan marked the 78th anniversary of the atomic bombing of its western city of Nagasaki today. This year’s memorial ceremony was significantly scaled down due to the approaching tropical storm. The ceremony was moved indoors for the first time since 1963.今天，日本举行了原子弹轰炸其西部城市长崎78周年和平祈念仪式。由于台风逼近，今年的纪念仪式规模大幅缩小。自1963年以来，纪念仪式首次移至室内举行。Japan’s Meteorological Agency said that another tropical storm, tropical storm Lan, the year’s seventh, has formed and is on track for the country’s main island of Honshu next week.  日本气象厅表示，今年第7号台风“兰恩”已经形成，并将于下周登陆日本本州本岛。As Khanun tracks north, South Korea is also under the storm’s influence. As of 11 am today, Jeju Airport has canceled 144 flights. And for sea routes, all ships in Jeju Island have suspended services, and all ports have been closed. The country has launched a 24-hour emergency response to deal with the oncoming storm.随着“卡努”向北移动，韩国也受到了台风的影响。截至今天上午11点，济州机场已经取消航班144架次。在海上航线方面，济州岛的所有船只已暂停运营，所有港口均已关闭。韩国已启动24小时应急响应，以应对即将到来的台风。2.CHINA'S JULY ANNUAL CONSUMER PRICES DOWN 0.3%, PRODUCER INDEX EASES2023年7月份居民消费价格指数同比下降0.3%China’s consumer prices fell in July for the first time since February 2021, official data showed today, while factory gate prices continued to decline but at a slower pace.据今日官方数据，中国的居民消费价格指数（CPI）自2021年2月以来首次下降，同时工业生产者价格指数持续下降，但降幅收窄。According to data from the statistics bureau, China’s consumer price index, a main gauge【标准】of inflation【通货膨胀】, dropped 0.3 percent year-on-year in July after a flat reading in June. Food prices dipped【下降】 1.7 percent in July compared with a year ago, down from a 2.3 percent rise last month. The statistics bureau said the drop in the CPI was due to a high comparison base in the previous year, but that it is likely to rise gradually with a gradual economic recovery. Also released today, China’s producer price index was down 4.4 percent from a year earlier in July after the 5.4 percent annual contraction seen in June.根据国家统计局的数据，中国的居民消费价格指数CPI（通胀的主要衡量标准），在6月份保持平稳的基础上，7月同比下降了0.3％。与去年同期相比，7月份食品价格下降了1.7％，低于上个月2.3％的涨幅。统计局表示，CPI下降是由于前一年对比基数较高，但随着经济逐渐复苏，CPI可能会逐渐上升。同样在今天发布的数据中，中国的工业生产者价格指数在7月同比下降了4.4％，而6月份则同比下降了5.4％。3.CHINA'S REAL CONSUMER LENDING RATES FALL TO AS LOW AS 3%低至3%！银行低息消费贷来袭The China Securites Journal is reporting that several large state-owned banks and joint-stock banks have cut real lending rates without any preferential conditions to as low as 3.5 to 4 percent. The rate of a consumer loan product offered by China Merchants Bank has fallen to 3.4 percent. But that can fall even further at Shanghai Pudong Development Bank which is issuing coupons via its official Wechat account, allowing borrowers to take advantage of a 3 percent loan rate. Yicai Global reports that smaller banks as well as many regional lenders have been offering similar discount promotions, including Bank of Suzhou, Beijing Rural Commercial Bank, and Guiyang Rural Commercial Bank.据《中国证券报》报道，一些大型国有银行和股份制银行已将实际贷款利率下调至3.5%-4%，而无需任何优惠条件。招商银行的一款消费贷款产品利率已降至3.4%。而上海浦东发展银行甚至通过其官方微信账号发放优惠券，使借款人可以享受3%的贷款利率。据《第一财经全球》报道，许多小型银行以及许多区域性贷款机构一直在提供类似的利率折扣，包括苏州银行、北京农村商业银行和贵阳农村商业银行。Commercial banks set their primary lending rates based on the central bank's Loan Prime Rate, which is currently 3.55 percent for one-year corporate and household loans and 4.2 percent for those of more than five years.商业银行的主要贷款利率是根据央行的贷款市场报价利率确定的，目前一年期企业和家庭贷款的贷款市场报价利率为3.55%，五年期贷款市场报价利率为4.2%。#热词加油站gauge/ɡeɪdʒ/【标准】inflation/ɪnˈfleɪʃ(ə)n/【通货膨胀】dipped/dɪp/【下降】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

FM: CHINA, RUSSIA WILL MAINTAIN CLOSE STRATEGIC COORDINATION中俄外长强调两国之间的战略合作----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1.WORK TEAMS GRADUALLY RESTORE POWER, REPAIR ROADS IN HEILONGJIANG黑龙江：多部门抢修恢复道路通信电力85 tributaries【支流】 of the Songhuajiang River have water levels above their respective flood warning thresholds, while 12 reservoirs have dangerous water levels in Heilongjiang Province. Clean-up work continues in Hebei and Beijing. Sun Siqi takes a look.松花江85条支流超过各自的洪水警戒水位，黑龙江省12座水库出现危险水位。河北和北京的清理工作仍在继续。本台记者孙思奇带来报道。A red flood alert was removed in the Lalin River in Wuchang City of Heilongjiang as teams continued to repair roads, as well as restore power and communications. 16 of 26 damaged ten-thousand-volt power lines had been repaired, but the other 10 are inaccessible due to floodwaters. Repairs had begun on numerous damaged roads.黑龙江五常市拉林河解除了红色洪水警报，抢险队继续抢修道路，恢复电力和通讯。在26条受损的万伏电线中，16条已经修复，但另外10条因洪水而无法使用。多条受损道路的修复工作已经开始。Hao Lishan, Deputy Director of Wuchang Road Development Center             郝立山五常市公路事业发展中心副主任                             “截至目前（五常市）得有155条受损路段，344处水毁阻断点，动用机械设备达到120多台。”“155 roads are damaged, and 344 are partially blocked. We have more than 120 machines running at these sites.”  With communications down, China Mobile crews were using drones to provide service to emergency workers, eachensuring internet access to 200 people within a 2-kilometer radius.在通信中断的情况下，中国移动工作人员使用无人机为紧急救援人员提供服务，每台无人机可确保方圆2公里内200人的互联网接入。In Zhuozhou City, Hebei Province, emergency workers opened a 100-meter gap in one dam as water levels dropped below those in the city. Water levels were declining about 20 centimeters every 6 hours.在河北省涿州市，当水库水位下降到城市水位以下时，抢险人员在一座大坝上打开了一个100米的缺口。水位每6小时下降约20厘米。In Beijing, power and communications were being restored in suburban districts.在北京，郊区的电力和通信正在恢复。At Beicheying Village in Fangshan District, tap water was restored to about one third of the homes. It will likely take another week before all households in the village have running tap water. Across the district, about half of the flooded villages were still without tap water. 54 trucks were running daily to bring water to these homes. Water treatment companies were on site to purify ground water for people to use.在北京市房山区北车营村，大约三分之一的家庭已经恢复了自来水供应。预计在接下来的一周内，该村的所有家庭都将恢复自来水供应。在房山区内，大约一半的受灾村庄仍然没有自来水。每天有54辆卡车运送水源到这些家庭。自来水净化公司也在现场为人们净化地下水供村民使用。2．PROCESSING TRADE TO PROCESS STRONGER AND BETTER PRODUCTS加工贸易：加工更强更优质的产品An important part of China’s imports and exports is something called the “processing trade,” and our reporter Zhang Shixuan explains just what that’s all about.  中国进出口的一个重要组成部分是“加工贸易”，本台记者张诗旋为我们解释其中的内涵。For the past almost four years, this ship has grown from an agreement to a 135,500-metric-ton Vista-class vessel that can carry thousands of people. This is China’s first domestically built large cruise ship, which completed its first sea trial just last month. It's a giant, and it contains as many as 25 million components and parts - five times that of a C919 aircraft - and much of it is imported. Once the sea trials are done, the ship will be delivered at the end of the year. The project’s extensive demand for imported components and its ultimate export destination makes it a perfect example of the processing trade.在过去近四年时间里，这艘邮轮从一份协议发展成为一艘可搭载数千人的135,500吨级Vista级邮轮。这是中国第一艘国产大型邮轮，上个月刚刚完成首次海上试航。它是一艘巨型船只，包含多达2500万个零部件，是C919飞机的零部件数量的五倍，其中大部分零件是进口的。所有海试结束后，该船将于今年年底交付。该项目对进口零部件的大量需求及其最终出口目的地，使其成为加工贸易的完美典范。Li Fang, Deputy Director of Engineering Management Dept., CSSC Cruise Technology Development李芳，中船邮轮技术发展有限公司工程管理部副主任“整船是大概有3000个Purchase Order设备采购单的物资要进行进口，这个订单仅仅是船东供应品。他还有大量的这个是船厂来采购的订单厂。整个在进口的过程中，海关是对我们有一些是进行保税，有一些先是进口装船安装之后，将来船厂在整船出口交付的时候进行部分退税，按照不同的品类进行退税。”"The whole ship required 3,000 purchase orders for equipment that needed to be imported. And that’s just the figure for the shipowner supplies. There were also a large number of orders booked by the shipbuilder. When importing some parts, the Customs offered us bonded services, and for others, we will receive tax refunds on some categories after the ship is formally delivered and exported.”The processing trade involves a domestic firm initially obtaining raw materials or intermediate【居中的】inputs from abroad and, after local processing, exporting the value-added end goods. Customs duties on the imported materials are exempted if the company can prove that the imports are consumed in the production of goods for export. But for such a large high-end manufacturing product, the Shanghai Customs had to create some special services.  加工贸易是指国内企业最初从国外获得原材料或中间投入品，在当地加工后出口增值的最终产品。如果企业能够证明进口材料用于生产出口商品，则可以免征进口材料的关税。但对于如此大型的高端制造产品，上海海关不得不设立一些特殊服务。Li Fang, Deputy Director of Engineering Management Dept., CSSC Cruise Technology Development李芳，中船邮轮技术发展有限公司工程管理部副主任“比如说船用的大型的船用发电机组，还有全回转的推进器、脱硫塔、造水机，对于这些重点设备他是重点监管，但是整船我们有很大批量的这个进口物资，他允许我们根据我们实际的建造进度自主的进行核单。”“For key equipment like large marine generator sets, azimuth propulsion, scrubbers, and water generators, customs supervised very closely. But for the large number of other imported materials, the customs allowed us to vouch for ourselves based on our construction progress.”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋本台记者China’s processing trade volume has risen more than 500 times during the past 40 years. While it once took up half of the country’s foreign trade volume, that proportion has dropped to less than 20% now, as more general trade has grown significantly. But it doesn’t mean the processing trade is any less important now. On the contrary, it still plays a vital role in industrial upgrades and in stabilizing industrial chains, and now also serves a wider range of industries.过去40年间，中国的加工贸易额增长了500多倍。加工贸易曾占中国对外贸易的半壁江山，但随着一般贸易的大幅增长，这一比例已降至不足20%。但这并不意味着加工贸易的重要性有所下降。恰恰相反，加工贸易在产业升级和稳定产业链方面仍然发挥着重要作用，而且现在还服务于更广泛的行业。Yu Jiehua, Deputy Director of Post Clearance Audit Division, Shanghai Customs District of the PRC于杰华，中华人民共和国上海海关稽查处副处长“上海地区，这个加工贸易进出口产品结构当中呢，产业链相对较长，附加值较高的高新技术产品占据了主体，在进出口加工贸易的进出口总值占比是70%左右，加工贸易增值率也达到了78.2%。”“In Shanghai, the processing trade products have relatively longer industrial chains. with high value-added and high-tech products taking the prime spot, accounting for around 70% of the overall processing trade volume. The value rate of the processing trade has now reached 78.2%.”It’s not just growing, it’s changing. The processing trade has now pretty much shifted from labor-intensive products with low added value, to high value-added and high-tech manufacturing. In the first half of the year, Shanghai processing trade volume outside the Customs Special Supervision Zone topped more than 190 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of more than 6%. Customs has been improving clearance services for the imports. Originally, it tracked imports based on individual agreements, with each agreement corresponding to a single customs category. Now the services are capable of tracking an entire company and even a group’s trading activity as a whole.加工贸易不仅在增长，更在变化。目前，加工贸易已基本从低附加值的劳动密集型产品向高附加值、高技术含量的制造业转变。今年上半年，上海海关特殊监管区域外加工贸易额超过1900亿元，同比增长超过6%。海关不断改进进口清关服务。最初，海关根据单个协议跟踪进口，每个协议对应一个海关类别。现在，这些服务能够跟踪整个公司甚至整个集团的贸易活动。Yu Jiehua, Deputy Director of Post Clearance Audit Division, Shanghai Customs District of the PRC于杰华，中华人民共和国上海海关稽查处副处长“比如说像中船集团，他下面有很多船厂。那么这个我们就可以以集团为单元进行监管，那么不同的集团内不同的企业之间的料件就可以自由的调拨。我们推出的这个集团保税政策，不仅仅是汇集了江南长兴、外高桥造船等龙头企业，我们还将那个中船集团旗下的这些众多的分布在长三角区域的这些船厂一并纳入形成产业集群化的监管。”                                                  “For example, the China State Shipbuilding Corporation has many shipyards. We offer a one-stop supervision taking the group as a unit, so that the different companies owned by the group can distribute their materials as they need. Not just leading companies like Jiangnan and Waigaoqiao, we have included all the group's shipyards in the Yangtze River Delta Region to offer an industrial cluster supervision.”Yu says she expects future quality upgrades of the processing trade to include cruise ship and large aircraft manufacturing, advanced packaging and testing of integrated circuits, as well as AI and medical equipment.  于杰华表示，预计未来加工贸易的质量升级将包括游轮和大型飞机制造、集成电路的先进封装和测试，以及人工智能和医疗设备等领域。3.FM: CHINA, RUSSIA WILL MAINTAIN CLOSE STRATEGIC COORDINATION中俄外长强调两国之间的战略合作Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held a phone conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov yesterday. Wang noted that since Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Russia in March this year, the strategic coordination and pragmatic cooperation between the two countries have made headway. Bilateral trade volume has reached a new high and cooperation in the energy sector has been carried out steadily.中国外交部长王毅昨天（08/07）与俄罗斯外交部长谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫通电话。王毅指出，自今年3月中国国家主席习近平访问俄罗斯以来，两国战略协作与务实合作取得了长足进展。双边贸易额再创新高，能源领域合作稳步推进。Wang said it has been proven that China and Russia are trustworthy and reliable friends and partners, saying that at present, the priority for both sides is to continue to implement the consensus reached by the two heads of state, and to promote the high-level development of the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era.

Here's Chen Xuan takes a look at how bad things have gotten.由于台风“杜苏芮”残余上周给中国东北黑龙江省带来了强降雨，该省昨晚（08/06）发布了山洪黄色预警。12条主要河流仍处于危险水位，26座水库已超过洪水预警阈值。主播陈璇带来详细受灾情况。The city of Wuchang near Harbin is under severe risk of flooding. 43,000 people have been relocated as a precaution.哈尔滨附近的五常市极有可能发生严重洪灾。为做好预防，4.3万人已被转移。The city of Shangzhi, near Harbin, recorded its heaviest rainfall in 66 years. 17 villages reported different levels of flooding, but most of the water has since receded. Emergency workers are pumping out the rest and disinfecting the areas that were under water. 83 bridges and roads were damaged in more 200 places.哈尔滨附近的尚志市记录到66年来的最强降雨。17个村庄出现了不同程度的洪水，但大部分洪水已经退去。抢险人员正在抽干积水，并对积水区域进行消毒。83座桥梁和200多处道路受损。Yu ChangzhiShangzhi Road Development Center于长志 尚志市公路事业发展中心养护股股长“采用人歇机不歇24小时全力抢修受损道路，派出10个排查小组对全市受损道路进行调查，排查安全隐患。目前已打通6条道路，其他受损道路正在抢修当中。”“Our machines are running 24 hours a day. 10 teams are repairing roads across the city. So far, 6 roads have been restored. All others are still being repaired.”Heilongjiang is China's largest place of origin for crops. Multiple regions have suffered severe damage. The province's agricultural departments are working to find ways to reduce the losses.  黑龙江是中国最大的农作物产地。多个地区遭受严重损失，该省农业部门正尽最大努力减少损失。And in Jilin's hardest hit city of Shulan , 14 people died. Emergency teams are still searching for one other missing person. Water levels in its major rivers are now receding. Close to 120 kilometers of damaged roads have been restored, and the power is back on in 14,000 households.在吉林受灾最严重的舒兰市，已有14人遇难。救援队仍在寻找另一名失联人员。目前，主要河流的水位正在下降。近120公里的受损道路已经恢复，1.4万户家庭恢复供电。As upstream reservoirs discharge water, downstream villages along Lalin river are starting to relocate people before the swell arrives.随着上游水库放水，拉林河沿岸的下游村庄开始在洪水到来前搬迁。At the same time, storm system Khanun, which made a U-turn away from the east China coast last week, is swerving again, this time towards the Korean Peninsula, and Jilin Province. Heavy rainfall is once again on the forecast for Jilin, the weather service estimates the rain will begin falling again in 3 days time.与此同时，上周从我国东部沿海调头而去的风暴系统“卡努”再次转向朝鲜半岛和吉林省。根据预报，吉林可能再次出现强降雨天气，气象部门预计降雨将于3日后重启。Heilongjiang officials have asked subsidiary government bodies to carry out relocation protocols and prepare supplies and flood prevention equipment ahead of time.黑龙江官员已要求下级政府机构执行搬迁计划，并提前准备物资和防汛设备。In Beijing and Hebei, road and power restoration efforts are still underway in most of the heavy-hit areas. The floodwaters have receded in Zhuozhou, and power has been restored at 75 residential compounds.在北京和河北，大部分重灾区的道路和电力恢复工作仍在进行。涿州洪水已退，75个居民区恢复供电。As of yesterday morning, insurance companies have received close to 190,000 claims worth more than 6.2 billion yuan.

For injuries, there are no longer any restrictions on which hospitals you can go to, and medications you can be given. For agricultural losses, our staff will make assessments on site and pay for the damage as early as possible.”3.THE STAR 100 - A NEW MARKET INDEX FOR THE SMALLER STARS OF THE STAR科创板指数体系再添新成员，上证科创100指数正式上线The Shanghai Stock Exchange and the China Securities Index Company have just announced the release of their new SSE STAR 100 Index, based on a selection of 100 securities from the STAR Market with medium market capitalization and good liquidity.  Zhang Shixuan tells us more.  上海证券交易所和中证指数有限公司正式发布上证科创板100指数（以下简称“科创100指数”）。科创100指数从科创板中选取市值中等且流动性较好的100只证券作为指数样本。记者张诗旋带来更多报道。Different from the STAR 50 index, which reflects the performance of securities with large market capitalizations, the STAR 100 index includes more listed firms from a wider variety of industries.  The median daily market value of the STAR 100 Index samples over the past year was 15.3 billion yuan, and 74 percent of them have a market value of below 20 billion yuan. That's a very big difference from the STAR 50 Index samples which had a median market value of 42.4 billion yuan over the past 12 months. As of noon on its first day, the STAR 100 index had dropped some 1%.与反映大市值证券表现的科创50指数不同，科创100指数包含更多不同行业的上市公司。 过去一年，科创100指数样本的日市值中位数为153亿元，其中74%的市值低于200亿元。 这与过去一年市值中位数为424亿元的科创50指数样本相比，差距巨大。截至首日中午，科创100指数下跌约1%。Jimmy Zhu, Chief StrategistFullerton ResearchJimmy Zhu 富勒顿研究首席策略师“On the valuation basis, the STAR 100 index, those stocks are more attractive, because their current profit revenue are still low compared with the STAR 50. But on the potential side, we see that upside is pretty visible, because on the average basis, their profit margins are much higher compared with average on the STAR board.”“在估值基础上，科创100指数中的股票更具吸引力，因为它们目前的利润收入与科创50指数相比仍然较低。但在潜力方面，我们看到了相当明显的上升空间，因为从平均水平来看，它们的利润率要比科创板的平均水平高很多。”More than half of the constituents【成分】 of the STAR 100 Index are from industries like bio-medicine, high-end equipment, and new materials. Both their R&D intensity and revenue growth rate were higher than the STAR Market's average.在科创100指数的成分股中，有一半以上来自生物医药、高端设备和新材料等行业。它们的研发强度和收入增长率都高于科创市场的平均水平。Jimmy Zhu, Chief StrategistFullerton ResearchJimmy Zhu 富勒顿研究首席策略师“For investors who are looking out of the semiconductor industry, which is heavily weighted in STAR 50, the STAR 100 gives more asset to choose. And they don't have much correlation. Sometimes, fund managers don't want to put money in one basket. This provides opportunity for them to diversify their portfolio. And on the macro basis, the officials are trying to provide more funding platform for the private sectors, so this is another area for companies in the private sector can raise their fund from.”“对于那些关注半导体行业（较大程度依赖科创50指数）的投资者来说，科创100指数提供了更多的资产选择。它们没有太多的相关性。有时，基金经理不想把钱放在一个篮子里。这为他们提供了分散投资的机会。从宏观上讲，政府正试图为私营部门提供更多的融资平台，因此这也是私营部门公司可以融资的一个新领域。”As of last Friday, there were 550 listed companies on the STAR Market, with a total market value of almost 6.5 trillion yuan. Experts say that with more tech firms joining the board, the launch of additional indexes is critically important.截至上周五（08/04），科创市场共有550家上市公司，总市值近6.5万亿元。专家表示，随着越来越多的科技企业加入科创板，增发指数的推出至关重要。Shao Yu, Chief EconomistOrient Securities邵宇 东方证券首席经济学家“全球包括美国这样一科技股，它那些龙头的股票也就是编制进入指数里的股票，表现得非常强劲。被动的投资，特别是指数型投资现在构成了整个投资的绝大部分，这样对投资人来说就比较简单，指数包括指数类的ETF发行，它的量非常大，最终也活跃了整个市场。”“In the global markets, considering something like US tech stocks, the leading stocks that are index constituents have been performing really strongly. Passive investment, especially index investment has made up the majority of the investments.  It's become easy for investors to just buy an index related product. The launch of products related to indexes such as ETFs is usually large in volume, which winds up raising the value of the entire market.”As of today more than ten STAR Market indices have been released, and products tracking these indices in domestic and overseas markets have reached a value of over 120 billion yuan. The STAR 50 Index alone has attracted over 76 billion yuan of incremental【增量的】funds into the STAR Market since 2022, ranking it first among domestic broad-based indices.截至目前，已经发布了十多个科创市场指数，国内外市场跟踪这些指数的产品价值超1200亿元。自2022年以来，仅科创50指数就为科创市场吸引了超760亿元人民币的增量资金，在国内基础指数中排名第一。#热词加油站subsidiary/səbˈsɪdieri/【附属的】reservoir/ˈrezəvwɑː(r)/【水库】constituent/kənˈstɪtʃʊənt/【成分】incremental/ɪnkrəˈməntl/【增量的】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

Zhang Yue has more.北京今天（08/04）发布暴雨、雷电和大风预警，房山、昌平等郊区的抢险救灾工作仍在继续。记者张乐带来更多报道。It was still raining heavily in areas of Beijing, making mudslides【泥石流】 and road collapses more likely. Hundreds of rescue workers from Beijing's fire brigade waded into five dangerous villages in Changping District yesterday, bringing food and daily necessities to trapped people.北京部分地区仍在大雨中，泥石流和道路坍塌的可能性增大。昨天（08/03），北京消防支队的数百名救援人员涉水进入昌平区的五个危险村庄，为被困人员送去食物和生活必需品。Resident居民“（家里）四个人，有两个老人，九十的、七十多的，行动也不太方便，走不了，我们也没法走。”“I have two old people in my home, one aged over 90, and the other over 70. They can't walk, so we can't leave.”134 people in Changping have already been relocated to safer places. As of 4 pm today, 76 trains had been canceled. Most of them were departing for Handan, Chengdu, and Nanning. Railway authorities said repairs were underway on the routes affected by the rainstorm.昌平已有134人被转移到安全地带。截至今天（08/04）下午4点，76趟列车停运。其中大部分开往邯郸、成都和南宁。铁路部门表示，受暴雨影响的线路正在抢修。In Tianjin, 29 villages and some farmland along the Yongding River were flooded.

Water levels are expected to decrease in two days.在天津，永定河沿岸的29个村庄和农田被淹。所有3.3万村民已被转移到安全地带。水位预计将在两天内下降。2.CHINA'S MARKET CONTINUES TO DRAW IN HIGH-TECH FOREIGN INVESTMENT中国吸引外资磁力不减The China Council for the Promotion of International Trade last week reported nearly 70 percent of surveyed foreign-funded companies here are optimistic about the outlook for the Chinese market over the next five years. The primary reasons they cited for investing in China include "large market size", "multiple preferential【优惠的】 policies" and "complete industrial and supply chains". Our reporter Zhang Shixuan talked to one of the firms to see just what they think.中国国际贸易促进委员会上周报告称，近70%的受访外资企业对未来五年的中国市场前景持乐观态度。这些外资企业在中国投资的主要原因包括“市场规模大”“优惠政策多”以及“产业链和供应链完整”。记者张诗旋采访了其中一家企业，进行深入了解。With a total floor space of more than 3,400 square meters, this is the first digitalized comprehensive innovation center that Becton and Dickinson Company has built in China.  The US based medical technology giant opened the innovation center in Hangzhou half a month ago. It's equipped with a professional digital marketing platform, laboratories, and a customer experience center, as well as training and incubation spaces - a testimony【证明】 of the company's confidence in the China market.这座BD公司在中国建立的首个数字化综合创新中心总建筑面积超过3400平方米。 这家美国医疗设备生产和销售巨头半个月前在杭州开设创新中心，配备了专业的数字营销平台、实验室、客户体验中心以及培训和孵化空间——这充分体现了该公司对中国市场的信心。Tom Polen, Chairman, CEO and President BD汤姆·波伦BD公司董事长、首席执行官兼总裁“We think about tapping into the best opportunities of the world. We actually just launched one of the first products that we've developed in China that we've launched in the US and other markets. It's for treating people with liver disease. We have other products in the pipeline【研发生产系统】 that will continue to be used here in China but also be sold internationally.”“我们考虑利用世界上最好的机会。事实上，我们刚刚推出了在中国开发的首批产品之一，并已在美国和其他市场推出。该产品用于治疗肝病。我们还有其他产品正在研发中，这些产品将持续在中国投入使用，也会在国际上进行销售。”Tom Polen, the CEO of the company, came from US last month to announce the opening of the center.  BD公司首席执行官汤姆·波伦上个月专程从美国赶来，宣布该创新中心的开业。James DengBD Greater China Region General Manager邓建民BD公司大中华区总经理“We believe we need to have a presence in Zhejiang in addition to Shanghai where we have 6 legal entity and also Jiangsu we have three plants. We will continue to introduce over 20 new products to China every year. And we are announcing our third manufacturing plan in Jiangsu province. And every year we are planned to introduce one or two product lines into our existing manufacturing plant.”“我们相信，除了在上海的 6家法人企业和在江苏的 3家工厂外，我们还需要在浙江开展业务。我们将继续每年向中国推出20多种新产品。我们即将在江苏省开展第三个生产计划。每年，我们都计划在现有的制造厂引进一到两条生产线。”And the company is not developing just on its own, but is also looking to work with local firms.该公司不仅独立发展，还在寻求与当地公司的合作。Tom Polen, Chairman, CEO and President BD汤姆·波伦BD公司董事长、首席执行官兼总裁“We certainly see tremendous opportunities for informatics and software and AI to improve healthcare around the world. And so that's an area that we've been focused on. Robotics and automation is another area. I've certainly seen an explosion of new innovative companies here in China.That’s very evident.And our dialogues with those companies has gone up over the last several years as we've built those capabilities, soyes,I do expect those will continue and we've had some partnerships that will probably be announced in the future.”“我们看到了信息科学、软件和人工智能改善全球医疗保健方面的巨大机遇，这是我们一直关注的一个领域。机器人和自动化是另一个领域。我确实看到了中国创新型公司的爆炸式增长。这是很显著的。过去几年，随着我们公司能力的提升，我们与这些公司的对话不断加强，我希望这些对话和合作能继续下去。我们可能会在未来宣布一些已经建立的合作伙伴关系。”One of the world's largest medical technology and equipment developers, BD is far from the only multinational company that has been paying close attention to the China market.作为全球最大的医疗技术和医疗设备公司之一，BD并不是唯一一家密切关注中国市场的跨国公司。Junyi Zhang, PartnerOliver Wyman张君毅 奥纬咨询董事合伙人“All the global CEOs want to go to China. They've planned for it for quite a long time. So, they first come to understand the current situation, how the China economic recovery, and they think the China market is still a very active economy power, so they want to use China as their future development angles. Compared to other regions, China has the most advanced manufacturing power compared to the rest of the world, and this is not an market for consuming, but also for manufacturing. China owned the entire value chain. This is very unique.”“全球所有的首席执行官都想去中国，他们已经计划了很长时间。所以他们首先来了解中国经济复苏的现状，他们认为中国市场仍然拥有非常活跃的经济力量，想把中国作为未来发展的方向。与其他地区相比，中国拥有全球最先进的制造能力，这不仅是一个消费市场，也是一个制造市场。中国拥有整个价值链，这是非常独特的。”The Ministry of Commerce says its data shows foreign direct investment in China's high-tech industry grew almost 8 percent year-on-year in the first half of 2023, while that of high-tech manufacturing soared 28.8 percent year-on-year in the same period.  At the same time, China saw newly established foreign-invested enterprises here reach 24,000, a year-on-year increase of almost 36 percent.商务部数据显示，2023年上半年，中国高科技产业的外商直接投资同比增长近8%，而同期高科技制造业的外商直接投资同比飙升28.8%。与此同时，中国新设立的外商投资企业达2.4万家，同比增长近36%。3.CHINA TO CUT SECURITIES SETTLEMENT RESERVES BY 3 PERCENTAGE POINTS证券业迎“降准”3个点China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation announced yesterday that it will lower the minimum settlement reserve ratio for the securities sector, a move which is expected to release over 30 billion yuan worth of funds back to the brokers. Lei Shuran has the details.中国证券登记结算公司昨日（08/03）宣布，将下调证券行业最低结算备付金率，此举预计将释放超300亿元的资金返还券商。记者雷舒然带来详细报道。The state-owned company said in its announcement that starting from October the settlement reserve ratio for the securities sector will be cut to 13 percent from the current 16 percent.该国有公司在声明中表示，从10月开始，证券行业的结算备付金率将从目前的16%下调至13%。Chen Li, Chief EconomistChuancai Securities陈雳川 财证券首席经济学家“调降结算备付金比例可以释放，一部分券商、银行等结算参与人的流动性，相当于给股票市场实施了一次‘定向降准’，将进一步提高市场资金使用效率，降低市场成本。不少会员证券公司会在资金使用效率方面大幅提升，也会对整个资金的管理水平进一步细化和优化，最终流入市场，起到活跃资本市场的重要目的。”“Reducing the proportion of settlement reserves can raise the liquidity of some of the brokerage firms, banks and other settlement participants, which is equivalent to a 'reserve ratio cut targeted at the stock market', and which will further improve the efficiency of the use of market funds and reduce market costs. This initiative will enable member securities companies to significantly improve the efficiency of their use of funds, and also further refine and optimize the management of funds. These funds will ultimately flow into the market, and play a role of activating capital markets.”Securities settlement reserves are funds placed by brokers in their company accounts to settle securities and non-trading transactions, and they play an important role in guaranteeing the completion of settlements and preventing risks. The CSDC slashed the ratio in 2019 and last year by 2 points each time to cumulatively lower the figure to 16 percent from the original 20 percent. The first adjustment released 11 billion yuan in funds, while the second returned 20 billion to the brokers.  证券结算备付金是券商存放在公司账户中用于证券交易和非交易结算的资金，在保证结算完成和防范风险方面发挥着重要作用。中国结算在2019年和2022年分别将这一比例下调2个百分点，累计从原来的20%降至16%。第一次调整释放资金110亿元，第二次返还给券商资金200亿元。#热词加油站mudslide/ˈmʌdslaɪd/【泥石流】preferential/ˌprefəˈrenʃ(ə)l/【优惠的】testimony/ˈtestɪmoʊni/【证明】pipeline/ˈpaɪplaɪn/【研发生产系统】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

If we don’t discharge this floodwater, both Xiong’an New Area and the city of Tianjin will be under significant pressure.”  More than 100,000 rescue workers in over 4,700 teams have been activated in Hebei. The area around Yongji永济Park was heavily flooded, andthe entrance to a school was completely submerged, and the entire area is still without water, power or gas.河北已有超过100,000名救援人员组成4,700多个救援队伍投入抗洪救援工作。永济公园周围地区受灾严重，一所学校的入口完全被淹没，整个地区仍处于断水、断电、断气状态。Feng Qingdong, Zhangjiakou Red Cross Emergency Rescue Team冯庆东河北省张家口市红十字应急救援队副队长“里边的暗流比较多，对于冲锋舟的操作困难性很大，潜在的危险比较多一点。现在水位陆续都在往下降，从昨天到现在，从岸边往后都退了150米左右，接下来就是把灾区里面没有转移的继续都转移完毕。”“There’re strong undercurrents in some of the flooded areas, and it’d be dangerous for us to approach.

He was arrested and charged with killing the cab driver.今年6月13日，潜逃21年之久的嫌疑人余某被捕。2002年2月，杨某在出租车内遇害。警方推测有两名凶手，但受限于当时技术条件，警方未能找到嫌疑人。今年5月，警方得知嫌疑人50岁男子余某位于广东江门，随后成功将其抓获并以谋杀出租车司机对余某提起诉讼。Lu Qing, Major Crime Team Leader of Huangpu Criminal Police陆庆上海市公安局黄浦分局刑侦支队重案队队长“该名男子与我们当时的案件当中走访（掌握）的人员同名同姓，我们将其列为重要犯罪嫌疑人。经生物痕迹比对，该犯罪嫌疑人就是我们（案件）的犯罪嫌疑人。”“The man has the same name as our suspected murderer when we were investigating the case back then.

We solved 14 long-pending murder cases. 11 of them occurred over 20 years ago and 1 case couldn’t be solved for more than 30 years.”In late April, Shanghai police received a call from a company’s accountants saying that they had been defrauded【欺骗】 of several million yuan by someone pretending to be their boss. Police found that they had opened an email with a virus, which allowed a hacker to control their computers.今年4月下旬，上海警方接到一家公司会计的电话，称有人冒充其公司老板诈骗了数百万元。警方发现他们打开了一封带有病毒的电子邮件，黑客由此控制了他们的电脑。Xu Haitao, Deputy Chiefof Cyber Security, Pudong Police徐海涛 上海市公安局浦东分局网安支队副支队长“（黑客）是把被害人登在她办公电脑上的微信，包括截取了她老板或财务总监的头像，获取这个头像以后，他用自己的微信替换成老板的微信，然后再实施诈骗。”“The hacker took screenshots of the profile photos of their boss’ and chief financial officer’s WeChat accounts and forged【伪造】a WeChat account to pretend to be their boss.”Police analyzed the virus and arrested Mr. Zhang on May 10th. Another 29 fraud suspects were arrested in multiple cities nationwide after police looked into his list of contacts.警方对病毒进行了分析，并于5月10日逮捕了男子张某。警方调查了他的联系人名单后，又在全国多个城市逮捕了其它29名诈骗嫌疑人。3.THAILAND’S PHEU THAI PARTY BREAKSAWAY FROM MOVE FORWARD胜选却难上台泰国远进党被排除出组阁联盟The political party that won the most seats in Thailand’s general election in May is out of the coalition to form the next government. The announcement comes amid strong opposition from conservative lawmakers over its proposed reform of laws surrounding Thailand’s monarchy. Sun Siqi has more.在五月份的泰国大选中获得最多席位的远进党被排除出下届政府组阁联盟。此举是因为该政党提议对涉及泰国王室的法律进行改革，遭到了保守派议员的强烈反对。本台记者孙思奇带来报道。Thailand’s election-winning Move Forward Party is no longer part of an eight-party alliance that was formed after a May general election in an attempt to form the country’s next government.在泰国大选中胜出的远进党已被排除出五月全国大选后组成的八党联盟，该联盟旨在组建下一届政府。Move Forward emerged as the largest party in the May polls, followed by Pheu Thai.

This has upset some protesters who gathered in front of party headquarters on Wednesday, saying that they were disappointed by the decision.为泰党表示将提名一位房地产大亨作为总理候选人。一些对此不满的抗议者在本周三聚集在为泰党总部前，表达了对这一决定的失望。Jiraporn Butsapakit, Protester抗议者“I’m boiling. I never imagined they would break their promises.”“我很愤怒，我从没想过他们（为泰党）会违背承诺。”Also, a parliamentary vote to select Thailand’s new prime minister on Friday was delayed again, after a court put off a decision in a case involving the progressive party that won May’s election, adding to growing uncertainty about when a new government will take office.此外，周五选举泰国新总理的议会投票再次被推迟，因为法院推迟了对一宗涉及赢得五月大选的进步党的案件的裁决，这增加了新政府何时就职的不确定性。#热词加油站earmark/ˈɪəmɑːk/【划拨（款项）】reservoir/ˈrezəvwɑː(r)/【水库】downpour/ˈdaʊnpɔː(r)/【倾盆大雨】defraud/dɪˈfrɔːd/【欺骗】forge/fɔːdʒ/【伪造】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

President Xi Jinping today ordered a search and rescue for the missing and those trapped in flooded areas. And here’s Chen Xuan with a look at just how bad things got in the region.台风“杜苏芮”残余环流带来的极端强降雨引发山洪，已致北京11人遇难13人失联，河北9人遇难6人失踪。习近平总书记对防汛救灾工作作出重要指示，要求各地要全力搜救失联、被困人员。记者陈璇为我们带来受灾情况详细报道。The extreme precipitation began Saturday night and has lasted more than 70 hours in Beijing, with an average of morethan260 millimeters of rain across all districts. 44,000people are dealing withflood damage to their homes, and nearly 130,000 people were relocated【迁移】.这场极端降水从周六（07/29）晚上开始，在北京已经持续70多个小时，各区平均降雨量超过260毫米。4.4万户家庭遭受洪灾损失，近13万人被紧急迁移。The torrential rain warning in Beijing has been downgraded to yellow, though in Mentougou the  warning is still orange.北京市暴雨预警已降级为黄色，但门头沟区的暴雨预警仍为橙色。More weather warnings were issued on strong winds, thunderstorms, and hail in parts of Beijing and Hebei, along with a torrential【猛烈的】 rain alert across Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei.北京和河北部分地区还发布了强风、雷暴和冰雹天气预警，同时北京、天津、河北地区发布了暴雨警报。The suburban district of Mentougou  in western Beijing was hit hardest, with an average of more than 471 millimeters of rain, with some parts reaching a record 723 millimeters, exceeding all previous records for rainfall in Beijing, since the flood of July, 2012.北京西部郊区门头沟受灾最为严重，平均降雨量超过471毫米，部分地区达到创纪录的723毫米，超过了自2012年7月洪灾以来北京的所有降雨记录。Though the flood waters have receded, underground garages are still soaked in water. Most of the district is without tap water. Parts of the district is without power, and communications are still out in 5 towns.虽然洪水已经退去，但地下车库仍浸泡在水中。大部分地区没有自来水，部分地区停电，5个镇的通讯仍然中断。This morning, 4 helicopters set out to airdrop food and supplies to stranded people.今天（08/01）上午，4架直升机出发向被困民众空投食物和物资。The situation was similar in the southwestern district of Fangshan. Flood waters were up to 1.5 meters deep in 3 low-lying residential compounds. 60,000 households are still withoutwater andpower.西南部的房山区情况类似。3个低洼居民区的洪水深度达1.5米。6万户家庭仍没有水电供应。Chen BingxuanBeijing Road & Bridge Maintenance Group陈炳轩 北京养护集团公路工程第七工程处工程一段副段长“汛情发生之后，从良乡到河北镇的三条道路全部遭到破坏了，公路路基桥梁基本上都冲毁了，现在河北镇基本上跟外边是一个隔绝的状态，主要目的就是抢通良乡到河北镇的一条生命线。”“All of the 3 roads to Hebei Town were heavily damaged, including the roads' foundation and the bridges. So now the town is cut off. We're trying to fix one of the roads as fast as we can, so essential supplies can be sent in.”Supplies will continue to be flown in by air until the road is restored.道路恢复之前，将继续空运物资。At the same time, 3 trains were stranded in Mentougou. 1,800 passengers on board the K396 and Z180 trains have since been transferred to safety.

The storm was consistently replenished along its path north, which condensed into severe rainfall as the system crossed the Taihang Mountain range.气象专家称，由于西太平洋高气压下的偏东风向中国中部地区输送了大量水汽，因此“杜苏芮”这个强低压系统带来了异常降雨。风暴在北上途中不断补充水汽，并在穿越太行山脉时凝结成强降雨。3.FEEL LIKE AN EXPLORING ADVENTURE?

One can get easy access to a recommended walking routine on social media apps - Xiaohongshu alone has more than 500,000 notes related to Citywalk.城市漫步不是一个新的概念，它源于伦敦，但这个旅游方式近期在中国风靡起来。人们可以在社交媒体上轻松找到推荐的漫步路线。单单在小红书就已经有超过50万关于城市漫步的笔记。Shanghai Resident上海市民“因为没有事情干，周末想出来放松，舒服也不累。买了衣服，性价比高。”“We had nothing to do during the weekend, so we decided to come out and relax. I just bought clothes and it was very reasonable.”Shanghai Resident上海市民“每周都有这个习惯，之前在国外留学，我感觉（上海）会更繁华一些，这些小的店铺会多一些。”“I've been taking the walk every week. I just finished my study abroad and came back. Shanghai's downtown streets are more bustling, with more small shops.”Visitor from Guangxi广西游客“我们来旅游的，从广西来。Citywalk，就是在城市走走就好了，更加向往这种轻松的城市生活，工作压力太大了。”“We're on tour from Guangxi, and I just want aCitywalk. I have been looking for a relaxed urban lifestyle, to ease the pressure of my work.”Visitor from Zhejiang浙江游客“因为觉得上海的文化很好，就来了。没有路线，我们主打一个随性，明天回去，昨天晚上来的。”“I just like Shanghai's culture, so I came. We don't have a fixed routine, we just wanted a casual tour. We came last night and we will leave tomorrow. ”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 记者The downtown streets of Shanghai, lined with lush trees and buildings with retro styles that tell of the city's history, have long been an attraction for visitors. But now, street wandering has a proper name - Citywalk. There have been some changes.上海市中心的街头，梧桐绿荫和传统建筑诉说着这个城市的历史。这些事物一直以来都对游客有着巨大吸引力，而如今逛街拥有了一个专属的名号——城市漫步。一些随之而来的变化正在悄然发生。While the old architecture has been here for a century, much of it now contains flourishing new businesses, appealing to the increasing number of people who have been coming out and spending more time along the streets.这些传统建筑，已经在街边矗立了一个世纪，但这些建筑里现在有很多新的商业体，吸引着越来越多外出并在街边停留更长时间的人们。Within just a few steps, you can run into a new shop - fashion stores, exhibition halls, restaurants or cafes,often with long lines in front.  每走几步，你就能发现一家新的店——时尚买手店、展厅、餐厅或咖啡店，而且店门前经常排着长队。You can tell from the bricks here that this is a really old building - more than 70 years old. But walking inside, you are surrounded with the most modern style - clothes from niche designer brands, stylish accessories,and aromatherapy supplies. 我们可以从这些砖头看出，这是一幢很老的建筑，已经70多年了。但是走到建筑内部，你会被最摩登现代的风格环绕——设计师品牌的服装，有设计感的首饰和香薰用品。This fashion store opened 3 years ago, together with a beverage【饮料】 shop next door.这家时尚买手店3年前和隔壁的饮品店一起开业。When I stopped by, both were full of visitors, some turning out to be shoppers at both. The owner says the two usually get 2,500 visitors on an average day, bringing in a combined annual revenue of 40 million yuan at peak times.我经过的时候看到两家店都是满客状态，一些客人在两家店都有消费。创始人说这两家店平均一天能够接待2500名顾客，在高峰期年营收能达到4000万元。Ma Junyi, General ManagerShanghai SC Brand Management马君怡上海乐它科技有限公司 总经理“我们现在大店有两家已经开业，马上在本月月底，在淮海路上还有一家要开，有一个1000平米的大店，都是在Citywalk的路线上面。今年4月份开始，旅游恢复，还有很多外籍人士也过来消费，客单价也有提高。今年快闪比较多，会集中在奢侈品。”“We have opened 2 large stores. And at the end of this month, we will open another 1,000-square-meter store on Huaihai Road. All of them are alongCitywalk routes. Since this April, with the recovery of tourism, more foreigners have come. The per customer transaction has also increased. This year, many luxury brands have reached out to us to open popup stores at our place.”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 记者Generally avoiding famous scenic spots and shopping centers, an aimless walk can sometimes take people to places where they can meet the hospitable locals, who may have been running small businesses along the streets for a very long time and who can tell a few tales about the city.城市漫步的路线基本避开著名的景点和购物中心，在漫无目的城市漫步的过程中，有时能遇到一些好客的当地人。他们有些已经在城市街头开店很久了，有的还能讲一些关于这个城市的小故事。Liu Renhe is one of the best-known. People call him Old Mike, and he's been running a street-side cafe for 15 years. Six years ago, he moved to this location, which is now a hot Citywalk destination.刘仁和就是其中比较有名的一位，人们称呼他“老麦”。他已经在上海街头经营咖啡店15年了。6年前，他搬到了这个地方，这里已经成为了一个热门的城市漫步目的地。Liu Renhe, Owner The Cottage Cafe & Bar刘仁和 咖啡店店主“The composition of the clients seems changed quite a lot, from artists, designers and filmmakers, musicians, painters, into normal tourist - old and young, especially when this holiday season. They used to go to the Bund, Nanjing Road East. However, they learn from this internet, they moved to this west part of the town. And then they think this is a more typical Shanghai. There are old buildings, old streets.”“顾客群体发生了很大变化，从一开始的艺术家、设计师、电影制作人、音乐家、画家变成了各个年龄段的普通游客。特别是在像现在这样的假期，他们之前会去外滩、南京东路，但现在，他们从网上看到了介绍，他们来到城市的西面，现在他们认为这是一个更典型的上海，这里有传统建筑和老的街区。”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 记者There are also books about the culture of other countries and cities. Borrow one, geta coffee, and you can start another round of city exploration.这里还有关于其它国家和城市的文化的书籍。借阅一本，点一杯咖啡，你就可以开始另一场城市探索。All the places I walked by were ticket-free. But the zero-cost tours have been driving up consumption, making Citywalk a new magnet for businesses. In a new survey by a data researcher owned by Yicai, 82% of the respondents namedCitywalk as their ideal way of getting around town and enjoying it too!所有我走过的地方都是不需要门票的，但是这些看起来零成本的旅行也在推动消费，让城市漫步成为对商铺的一大吸引力。第一财经进行的一项新调查显示，82%的受访者将城市漫步列为他们最理想的城市出游方式，远超其他旅游方式。#热词加油站relocate/ˌriːˈloʊkeɪt/【疏散】torrential/təˈrenʃ(ə)l/【猛烈的】meteorologist/ˌmiːtiəˈrɑːlədʒɪst/【气象专家】beverage/ˈbevərɪdʒ/【饮料】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

NEWS ON 07/311.NDRC REPEATS CALLS FOR POLICIES AIMED AT BOOSTING CONSUMPTION国家发改委发布恢复和扩大消费20条措施2.2 PEOPLE KILLED IN RAINSTORMS IN BEIJING北京暴雨致2人遇难3.SHANGHAI BOOSTS AI POWER FOR SMALL & MEDIUM BUSINESSES上海发放“AI算力券”助力中小微企业发展----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1.NDRC REPEATS CALLS FOR POLICIES AIMED AT BOOSTING CONSUMPTION国家发改委发布恢复和扩大消费20条措施China's top economic planner today re-iterated calls for local governments to step up measures aimed at boosting consumption amid efforts to sustain an economic recovery.  国家发改委今天（07/31）再次呼吁地方政府采取措施恢复和扩大消费，维持经济复苏。The National Development and Reform Commission announced 20 new measures in its notice today, covering a wide range of items and services. They included new energy vehicles, home appliances【家用电器】, electronics, catering, and cultural and tourism sectors, especially as those in rural areas. It also pledged to support family demands for housing and improved living conditions. The measures asked local governments to loosen any remaining restrictions on auto purchasing and to promote NEV usage, as well as rolling out trade-ins and the recycling of used home appliances. The measures followed NDRC statements at a meeting yesterday on China's economic performance in the first half of this year. Data show that China's gross domestic product grew 5.5 percent year-on-year to 59.3 trillion yuan in H1, and that of the country's 31 provinces, autonomous regions and cities, 13 reported GDP growth exceeding 6 percent during the period.   国家发改委在《关于恢复和扩大消费的措施》中发布 20 条新措施，涉及项目和服务范围广泛，其中包括新能源汽车、家电、电子、餐饮、文旅等行业，尤其是农村地区的此类行业。措施还承诺支持刚性和改善性住房需求，要求各地区不得新增汽车限购措施，扩大新能源汽车消费，并深入开展家电以旧换新，加强废旧家电回收。国家发改委昨天（07/30）在通报上半年发展改革形势的时候表示，上半年中国国内生产总值同比增长5.5%，达59.3万亿元。在全国31个省区市中，13个省区市GDP增速超6%。2.2 PEOPLE KILLED IN RAINSTORMS IN BEIJING北京暴雨致2人遇难Thousands of people were forced to evacuate their homes in Beijing as the remnants【残余部分】 of Typhoon Doksuri dumped record rainfall on the city and grounded flights today. Two people were reported dead in Mentougou District, one of the hardest-hit areas. Lei Shuran has more.今天（07/31），受台风“杜苏芮”残余环流北上影响，北京市出现创纪录的降雨量，导致航班停飞，数千人紧急撤离。在受灾最为严重的门头沟区，已经通报有2人死亡。记者雷舒然带来更多报道。The suburban districts of Mentougou and Fangshan were hit with flooding and mudslides due to the heavy rain. Some cars were washed away in a mountainous area of Mentougou. About 5,000 residents were relocated before the storm arrived, but two bodies were found during rescue work today.本次强降雨，位于北京市郊的门头沟和房山区受灾最为严重，发生塌方和小规模山洪灾情，门头沟多山地区的一些汽车也被冲走。在这场暴雨之前，门头沟区紧急转移群众5000人左右。但不幸的是，在今天（07/31）上午的抢险巡查时，当地工作人员在河道中发现2人，已经失去生命体征。Many roads in central Beijing were flooded as the Yongding River, the capital's biggest, burst its banks.作为北京市境内最大的河流，永定河今天水位暴涨，洪水倾泻而下。北京市中心的许多道路被洪水淹没。Niu SenUrban Sanitation Worker牛森 北京环卫集团通州分公司城市清扫二中心 工作人员“我们在这次强降雨期间，提前启动了防汛的预案，在雨前利用人工，把所有的雨篦子全部清理了一遍，确保雨水可以顺利排出。”“We launched a flood prevention emergency response. For example, our workers cleaned all the sewer grates before the storm to ensure  rainwater would drain properly.”Tourist attractions were closed across the capital and many companies told their employees to stay home. By noon, 40 flights had been canceled at Beijing Capital International Airport. Weather forecasters said the rain will taper off starting tomorrow.首都各地的旅游景点都关闭了，许多公司通知员工居家办公。截至中午，北京首都国际机场已有40个航班取消。根据天气预报，雨势从明天（08/01）开始将逐渐减弱。3.SHANGHAI BOOSTS AI POWER FOR SMALL & MEDIUM BUSINESSES上海发放“AI算力券”助力中小微企业发展China's top industry regulator says the government will step up its push to support the development of small and medium-sized companies that typically specialize in niche sectors such as electronics, software, new materials, and new energy. Many of them are closely connected to AI. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan finds out how Shanghai has been helping out the SMEs.工信部表示，政府将加大力度支持电子、软件、新材料和新能源等细分领域中小型企业的发展，这些企业大多与人工智能密切相关。记者张诗旋为您揭秘上海如何助力中小型企业发展。In the process of industrial digitalization, cabinets like this one are a frequent sight in China's manufacturing industries, helping collect production data. The ultimate aim is to optimize the production output through analyzing the data they collect. And that's what large generative language models are coming for - to make quicker decisions automatically. This Shanghai-based industrial data service provider has been in the market for 7 years now, but it was only since this April that it started to develop large language processing models. Within just 3 months, it has already signed contracts with more than 50 companies.在工业数字化进程中，像这样的机柜在中国制造业中屡见不鲜。这些机柜帮助收集生产数据，分析收集到的数据，最终实现优化生产产量的目标。而这正是大型生成语言模型的目的——自动做出更快的决策。这家总部位于上海的工业数据服务供应商进入市场已有7年时间，但直到今年4月，才开始开发大型语言处理模型。在短短3个月内，这家供应商已与50多家公司签订了合同。Wang Xufei, Product DirectorZyllion Data王旭飞 中云数据产品总监“我们主要服务新能源汽车、集成电路、生物医药和航空航天这些企业。最初，我们只是帮助客户收集数据，在辅助用户做决策的过程中通过人力去进行。目前我们有模型的辅助，把这些信息更汇聚，并能给出一定的建议和意见。”“We mainly serve companies in new energy vehicles, integrated circuits, biopharma, aviation【航空】, and aerospace industries. Originally, we just helped our clients collect data. But when helping them make decisions, we had to rely on human beings. Now, with support from the AI model, we can easily gather information, and give suggestions at the same time.”And all these achievements wouldn't be possible without computing power from these Graphics Processing Unit servers at this data center in Shanghai's Lingang Special Area. The 100,000-square-meter area has more than 1,000 of them - the key to AI computing service. 80% of the users are small and medium sized companies, like Zyllion Data.而所有这些成就的取得，都离不开上海临港特区数据中心的图形处理单元服务器的计算能力。这座占地10万平方米的数据中心拥有1000多台图形处理单元服务器，是人工智能计算服务的关键所在。这里80%都是像中云数据这样的中小型企业。Zheng Hongfei, Marketing DirectorYovole郑鸿飞 上海有孚网络股份有限公司市场总监“现在大概已经有大几十家的临港企业，在我们这里有做过一些关于算力需求方面的交流，甚至一些合作。在我们产品的交付层面上，真正已经交付的可能10家左右。”“Dozens of companies in Lingang have reached out to us to seek cooperation in computing power.  We're already delivering our products to around 10 companies.”The surging【激增】 inquiries this company is receiving are undoubtedly a result of the SMEs' emerging tech development. But an invisible driver behind their increasing volume has been preferential policies from the local government - a series of coupons for using computing services that help the companies save costs.这家公司收到的咨询量激增，无疑是中小企业新兴技术发展的结果。但在其业务量不断增长的背后，还有一个无形的推动力，那就是当地政府的优惠政策——“AI算力券”帮助企业节约了大量成本。Wang Xufei, Product DirectorZyllion Data王旭飞 中云数据产品总监“科创券，目前我们已经申领了，如果最后完成的话应该是补贴到50%。”“We have already applied for science and innovation coupons. And if we get the coupons, we can have a 50% discount.”Zheng Hongfei, Marketing DirectorYovole郑鸿飞 上海有孚网络股份有限公司市场总监“对于中小的创业型企业来说，这是一个非常大的力度了。比如原来用5台机器的，那现在因为优惠可能会用8台、10台机器。产品可能原来开发需要一个月，现在只需两周就能完成，这大大加快了企业的发展。”“For small and medium sized startups, this is already a huge discount. For example, previously a company would book 5 of our servers, but now with the discount, it can book 8 or 10 servers. So their products which before would take a month for R&D will require just 2 weeks to complete the R&D process. That has accelerated the companies' development.”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 记者According to the Shanghai Commission of Economy and Informatization, Shanghai is home to almost 3.3 million business entities, more than 93 percent of which are private companies or registered by individuals. The city's SMEs with annual revenues of more than 20 million yuan achieved an industrial output of 2 trillion yuan last year, accounting for almost half of the city's total. Vigorous as their businesses are, their demand for government support is pretty diverse. And so, Shanghai's newly released supportive policies for SMEs have been divided into 6 categories, covering finance, services and tech facilitation.根据上海市经济和信息化委员会的数据，上海拥有近330万家企业实体，其中93%以上为私营企业或个人注册。去年，全市年营业收入在2000万元以上的中小企业实现了2万亿元的工业产值，占全市工业产值的近一半。企业蓬勃发展，但对政府扶持的需求却相当多样化。因此，上海最新出台的中小企业扶持政策分为六大类，涵盖金融、服务、科技促进等方面。The plan includes provisions to distribute "AI algorithms coupons" to SMEs making use of the city's resources to innovate on core algorithms and model development by refunding up to 20 percent of the contract value. The Lingang Area has been well prepared and quick to respond to the plan.  其中包括，对利用城市资源进行核心算法创新和模型开发的中小企业，发放“AI算力券”，最高返还合同金额的20%。临港新片区对该政策准备充分、响应迅速。Ni Xiaojie, Deputy Director Data Department, Lingang Special Area Management Committee倪晓杰 临港新片区管委会数据部副主任“目前，临港新片区已经有八个算力中心，80%以上都是智能计算的布局。在AI for science等重点行业，包括智能网联汽车、智慧城市以及国际数据港的建设，我们正探索计算算法的更多应用。”“So far, the Lingang Special Area has 8 computing centers. More than 80% of the computing power is dedicated to intelligent computing. In areas emphasizing AI for science, including intelligent connected vehicles, smart city and global data harbor construction, we are now exploring more applications of the large models and data.”Just last month, the area established an industrial alliance for intelligent algorithms, gathering companies in the whole industrial chain, including tech developers and computing power providers. According to a newly released action plan, the area is expected toachieve a scale of its computing power industry topping 10 billion yuan by 2025.       就在上个月，临港新片区成立了智能算法产业联盟，聚集了包括技术开发商、算力供应商在内的全产业链企业。根据最新发布的行动计划，预计到2025年，临港新片区将实现算力产业规模突破100亿元。#热词加油站appliance/əˈplaɪəns/【家用电器】remnant/ˈremnənt/【残余部分】aviation/ˌeɪviˈeɪʃn/【航空】surging/ˈsɜːrdʒɪŋ/【激增】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

More than 124,000 people in Fujian had been relocated as of 2pm. Zhang Hong has the story.今天（07/28）上午9点55分，台风“杜苏芮”在福建省泉州市晋江沿海登陆，风速高达每小时180公里。截至下午2点，福建省超12.4万人被转移。记者张泓带来详细报道。Highways in Xiamen, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou were all closed as the typhoon hammered Dongshi Town in Jinjiang City leaving flooded streets and downed trees in its wake.台风袭击了晋江市东石镇，街道被淹，树木倒伏。厦门、漳州和泉州的高速公路全部关闭。Over 262 hectares of crops were damaged, causing over 52 million yuan in losses.超262公顷农作物受损，造成的经济损失超5200万元。Here in Shanghai, peripheral of the storm brought rainfall last night till early this morning and will continue to bring showers to the city tomorrow. In coastal areas of Jinshan District, neighborhood committees have made preparation in case of flooding.昨晚到今天（07/28）凌晨，台风风暴外围给上海带来了降雨，明天将持续阵雨。金山区沿海地区，居委会已做好防汛准备。Cao Haijuan, DirectorLinchaosancun Neighborhood Committee曹海娟 金山区临潮三村居委会主任“提醒他们及时疏通清理阳台排水管，以免积水。”“We reminded residents to unclog the drainage pipes on their balconies【阳台】 in case of heavy rainfall.”In the subdistrict of Shihua, the Weiling Road underpass has poor drainage and flooded during last Friday's intense rainfall, up to 60 centimeters of rain collected in the tunnel. Police say they are monitoring the tunnel closely, and if accumulated rainwater exceeds 25 centimeters, the tunnel will be closed. The Shanghai Meteorological Bureau said as the Doksuri tracks farther north its intensity【强度】 decreases, as well as its impact on Shanghai.石化街道卫零路的地下通道排水不畅，在上周五的强降雨中被淹，隧道内积水高达60厘米。警方表示，他们正密切监控隧道，如果积水超过25厘米，将关闭隧道。上海气象局表示，随着“杜苏芮”向北移动，其强度会减弱，对上海的影响也将随之减弱。Although Doksuri’s impact on Shanghai is light, another storm spun up in the last 48 hours, it received its name and number this morning when it intensified to tropical storm status.虽然“杜苏芮”对上海影响较小，但在过去的48小时内又出现了另一场台风风暴。今天（07/28）上午，该风暴增强为热带风暴，并获得了名称和编号。Wu Rui, Chief Service OfficerShanghai Meteorological Bureau邬锐 上海市气象局首席服务官“现在从各家的预报的路径来看，第六号台风‘卡努’（热带风暴）正向华东沿海靠近，但未来因为副热带高压的变化，包括它跟其他天气系统的一些互相作用，可能还存在一定的不确定性，我们也在加强监测当中。”“The forecasted route by various agencies show the No.6 tropical cyclone "Khanun" is headed for the east coast of China. But due to the change of subtropical high pressure and other factors, uncertainties still remain. We're continuing to monitor the situation.”Shanghai managed to thread the needle in terms of Doksuri's outer rain bands for most of today, but showers are expected tonight and tomorrow.今天（07/28）大部分时段，上海都躲过了“杜苏芮”外围雨带的影响，但预计今晚和明天会有阵雨。3.WORLD E-SPORTS - IS CHINA ITS NATURAL HOME?杭州亚运会，将和电子竞技擦出怎样的火花？With the E-sports industry gaining in global reputation, the idea of putting together a global E-Sports community is a major focus at this year's annual World E-Sports in Shanghai. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan has been looking into the development of the e-sports industry and finds China has several important advantages in the market.随着电子竞技产业在全球范围内声名鹊起，打造全球电子竞技社区的理念成为今年在上海举行的全球电竞大会的一大焦点。记者张诗旋带领大家一起对电子竞技产业的发展一探究竟，并了解中国电竞市场的几大优势。At this afternoon's forum, major game producer Riot Games announced that the second international event of the 2024 VALORANT Champions Tour will be held in the Chinese city of Shanghai. Valorant is a game new to the Chinese mainland - launched just this July on the mainland - so setting the tournament in Shanghai is really testimony to the rapid development of e-sports in China and to the outstanding performance of Chinese teams.在今天（07/28）下午的论坛上，大型游戏制作公司“拳头游戏”宣布，2024年《无畏契约（瓦罗兰特）》冠军巡回赛第二届国际赛事将在中国上海举办。《无畏契约（瓦罗兰特）》是今年7月刚刚在中国大陆推出的一款新游戏。将赛事设在上海举行，也证明了中国电子竞技的快速发展和中国战队的优异成绩。Phil So, VP, Esports Management Riot GamesPhil So 拳头游戏电竞业务副总裁“Shanghai is really the roots of e-sports for us and for the whole industry. So for us to bring it to Shanghai is a very logical and sensible choice. Shanghai government supports us a lot in bringing this event. Bringing it to Shanghai was a no-brainer for us. Definitely the teams and the players in China have proven themselves across multiple titles and especially at league of legends at the global stage. So we have high expectations and we definitely think they can deliver at the biggest stages for e-sports.”“上海对我们和整个电竞行业来说都是真正的根基。因此，我们将赛事设在上海是一个非常合理和明智的选择。上海市政府大力支持我们举办这项赛事，把它带到上海是理所当然的。毫无疑问，中国的战队和选手已经在多个赛事中证明了自己，尤其是在英雄联盟的全球舞台上。我们对他们寄予厚望，相信他们一定能在电子竞技的最大舞台上再创佳绩。”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 记者Shanghai has hosted multiple international events such as the 2020 League of Legends World Championship. Now that E-sports has been gaining in global reputation, becoming a medal sport at the upcoming Asian Games in Hangzhou, companies in the field are closely watching future development here - the standardization of the industry, and also how it can reach out to more potential users.上海曾举办过多项国际赛事，如2020年英雄联盟世界锦标赛。如今，电子竞技已在全球声名鹊起，并成为即将到来的杭州亚运会的正式比赛项目。该领域的公司正密切关注电竞行业在上海的未来发展——行业的标准化，以及如何触达更多潜在用户。Dr. Xiao Hong, CEO of Perfect World also spoke to this afternoon's meeting, sharing his ideas about how to chart China's blueprint for the global development ofe-sports.完美世界首席执行官萧泓博士也在今天（07/28）下午的会议上进行了发言，就如何规划中国电子竞技的全球发展蓝图分享了他的看法。Dr. Robert H. Xiao, CEO Perfect World萧泓 完美世界首席执行官“把大家放到一个亚洲游戏平台上，必须有一套标准化的流程，包括装备、组织、团队发展、协作、管理等整个过程。这套标准化的流程将有助于电子竞技在未来的一段时间内成为整个行业的标准化。在亚洲比赛舞台上，有很多传统体育爱好者将有机会真正地关注电竞。我们应该能够吸引更多新的观众和电竞参与者。就像刀塔一样，我们应该从传统体育方面学到很多东西，学习如何组织大型赛事，如何管理亚洲范围内的细节，这是一种多学科的传统体育。”“To put everybody into an Asian game platform, there has to be a standardized processes in terms of equipment, in terms of how to organize them, in terms of the team development, how to collaborate, how to manage the whole sports process. So this standardization process will help the e-sports in the later time in the future would be a standardized, the whole industry. On the stage of Asian game, there are a lot of traditional sports lovers would have opportunity to really look at the e-sports. And we should be able to attract a lot more new viewers and new e-sports participation. Like us, for Dota, we should be able to learn a lot from the traditional sports part, learning how to organize a huge event, how to manage details in terms of Asian wide, a multi disciplinary【纪律】 kind of traditional sports.”Experts say the inclusion of e-sports in the Asian Games is a promising sign of the industry's significance here, though of course there is always room for future development.专家表示，电子竞技被纳入亚运会是一个充满希望的信号，表明了这一行业的重要性，未来仍有较大发展空间。Wang Yong, Deputy Secretary-General  Shanghai E-sports Association王勇 上海市电子竞技运动协会副秘书长“我们可以很明显的看到中国在电竞产业发展中最重要的一个优势是人群优势，那就是我们拥有巨大的用户，我们有巨大的人群。我们无论是硬件的建设、网络的配置，以及整个城市配套的发展都具有很明显的优势。在整个项目的研发方面，同时在整个环境方面，很重要的一点就是电竞在其他城市的发展过程中，已经和高校的教育，和整个社会的发展，乃至和传统体育的融合更为紧密，我们在这一点上还有很长的路要走。”“We can clearly see that in the development of China's e-sports, one of the most important advantages is people. We have huge number of users. And also, we have obvious advantages in hardware, networks and city infrastructure construction. But in terms of project R&D and the whole environment, compared with some cities in other countries, we have a long way to go in creating close connections with college education and ties with traditional sports.”A fresh report released yesterday in Shanghai showed that in the first half of the year, China's e-sports industry saw sales revenue of almost 65 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.2%. And that figure didn't include revenue from e-sports livestreams, club operations and tournaments. The upcoming Asian Games is expected to give the industry another good win.昨天（07/27）上海发布的一份最新报告显示，今年上半年，中国电子竞技产业实现营收近650亿元，同比增长1.2%。而且这一数字还不包括电子竞技直播、俱乐部运营和赛事收入。即将到来的亚运会有望让电子竞技产业再创佳绩。#热词加油站spectacular/spekˈtækjələr/【壮观的】balcony/ˈbælkəni/【阳台】intensity/ɪnˈtensəti/【强度】disciplinary/ˈdɪsəpləneri/【纪律】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

NEWS ON 07/121.FALLEN HEROES REMEMBERED缅怀英雄！抗美援朝战争胜利70周年纪念日2.FAST TRAINING OF NEW REPAIR STAFF NEEDED TO SUPPORT NEV SECTOR GROWTH买车容易修车难，新能源汽车维修人员缺口大3.A NEW EXHIBITION SPACE FOR ANCIENT ARTIFACTS青铜神树“喜迁新居”！三星堆博物馆新馆试运营----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1.FALLEN HEROES REMEMBERED缅怀英雄！抗美援朝战争胜利70周年纪念日Today marks the 70th anniversary of the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Commemorative【纪念的】events have been held around the country. Sun Siqi has the story.7月27日是抗美援朝战争胜利70周年纪念日，全国各地举办了一系列纪念活动。本台记者孙思奇带来详细报道。A commemoration ceremony was held this morning at the Chinese People's Volunteer Army Martyrs'【烈士】Cemetery【墓地】in Shenyang. Veterans【退伍军人】, families of heroes who died in the war, and representatives of the community laid flowers at the monument. The cemetery was built in 1951 and is the final resting place for 123 martyrs from the Chinese People's Volunteer Army.今天（07/27）上午，沈阳抗美援朝烈士陵园举行了纪念活动。抗战老兵、英烈家属和社会各界代表向纪念碑献花。沈阳烈士陵园始建于1951年，是123名中国人民志愿军烈士的安息之地。The remains of another 913 fallen soldiers were laid to rest here after being recovered in SouthKorea between 2014 and 2022. Some of their children came today.另有913名阵亡将士的遗骸，于2014年至2022年期间在韩国找到后，安葬于此。一些烈士子女今天也来到了这里。Zheng Li,Daughter of Zheng Xihe, Fallen CPV Soldier郑莉中国人民志愿军烈士郑希和的女儿“我们这一次来就告诉父亲，抗美援朝战争已经胜利70周年了，我们今天来祭奠，这些所有的烈士们，我们才过后面的和平幸福的生活，是永远不能忘记的。”"We're here to tell our father that the war was won. We are here to remember the heroes. Without them, we wouldn't be able to live in the peace that ensued.”In Shanghai at the Memorial Site of the 4th National Congress of the CPC, the son of a veteran couple read a poem about the heroes.在上海中共四大会址纪念馆，一对老兵夫妇的儿子朗诵了一首诗歌缅怀英烈。Wang Nianchao, Storyteller上海革命故事讲述团团长 王念朝“我的父母亲也是跨过鸭绿江和英烈们一起在朝鲜战场上浴血奋战。虽然70年过去了，但是我们的后人不能忘记。”“My parents were among those who crossed Yalu River.They fought and bled side-by-side. It's been 70 years, but we mustn't forget.”An exhibition at the memorial site opened today after curators【策展人】 spent months collecting documents and items from the war. One of the highlights is a photo album with picturesof General Su Yu and Premier Zhou Enlai visiting the DPRK for negotiations about the withdrawal of armies.纪念馆的特展于今日揭幕。策展人们花了几个月时间收集战争中的文件和物品。展览的一大亮点是一本相册，里面有粟裕将军和周恩来总理访问朝鲜进行撤军谈判的照片。2.FAST TRAINING OF NEW REPAIR STAFF NEEDED TO SUPPORT NEV SECTOR GROWTH买车容易修车难，新能源汽车维修人员缺口大Riding the waves of the green transition, China's new energy vehicle sector has turbocharged growth and entered the fast lane. But the rapid shift to NEVs has created a stark issue when it comes to auto repairs and maintenance - a shortage of NEV mechanics. Lei Shuran has more.乘着绿色转型的东风，中国新能源汽车行业加速发展，驶入快车道。但是，在向新能源汽车快速转型的过程中，汽车维修和保养方面出现了一个严峻的问题——新能源汽车技工短缺。本台记者雷舒然为您带来详细报道。With the number of new energy vehicles on the roads skyrocketing【猛涨】in recent years, millions of drivers in China are soon going to need a lot more auto mechanics and backup staff who can fix their new batteries-on-wheels, as well as all the technical supports for them. As of now there just aren't enough to go around. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology reports China is likely to need at least one million more NEV repairmen and technicians by 2025. By that time, NEV owners will need five times more NEV mechanics than the country will have. Many auto repair shops including this one in Shanghai have already been running into the problem.随着近年来道路上新能源汽车数量的激增，中国数以百万计的驾驶员很快将需要更多的汽车修理工和后备人员来修理他们的新车载电池，并为他们提供各种技术支持。目前，这些人员还远远不够。据工业和信息化部报告，到2025年，中国可能需要至少100万名新能源汽车修理工和技术人员。届时，新能源汽车车主所需的汽车维修人员将是届时全国维修人员总数的五倍。包括上海这家汽车修理厂在内的许多汽车修理厂已经遇到了这个问题。Gong Guanxiong, Owner of Gavin’s Garage龚冠雄加文的车库主理人“目前是有一个增长趋势，尤其是20年以后，更多电动车产品投入市场以后，那么这个增长趋势还是蛮明显的。然后我们这边增长的话，大概是每年以20%的这么一个数量来在增长。主要是一些动力部分的话，电车它的驱动单元和驱动控制模块是完全不同的，那么相比原来的燃油车，它会对维修人员的要求是有一些对电操作这些具体的要求，且目前整个市场来看的话，是肯定是缺少的这么一个人才的这么一个市场。”"More NEV models have come into the market since 2020, and since then we've had an annual growth of around 20 percent in the number of repair orders. It's quite different from repairing a gasoline-powered vehicle. NEVs have different drive units and systems, and mechanics need to have specific knowledge and skills to manage those things. There's definitely a talent shortage in the market now.”And it's not just about learning new skills. Gong says the work requires mechanics to have specialized equipment and tools to work on some NEV batteries and systems, different from usual low-voltage auto electronics.这不仅仅是学习新技能的问题。龚关雄说，这项工作要求修理师使用专门的设备和工具处理与通常的低压汽车电子设备不同的新能源电池和系统。Gong Guanxiong, Owner of Gavin’s Garage龚冠雄加文车库主理人“目前软件的话，燃油车主要还是以这个OBD的这么一个标准，就是我们所谓的on board diagnostic这么一个系统，那么新的像特斯拉新能源车的话，类似于特斯拉这种，那么以特斯拉为例，它的一个整个系统就是完全不同的，那么可能需要我们新的这些额外的特殊工具、特殊软件去进行一些诊断。”"For example, when repairing a gasoline-powered car, we have a system called on-board diagnostics that provides vehicle self-diagnosis and reporting capabilities. But when fixing a Tesla, we need specific tools or computer systems to figure out what’s wrong with it as it's totally different from its gasoline-powered predecessors.”To keep NEV owners from facing long waits to have their cars serviced, experts are warning that more attention needs to be paid to improving current auto repair training.专家警告说，为了避免新能源汽车车主长时间等待汽车维修，需要更加重视改善目前的汽车维修培训。Zhang Junyi, Head of Automotive & Industrial Goods, Greater China of Oliver Wyman张君毅奥纬咨询大中华区汽车与工业品业务主管“When doing the education in the big universities, you need collaboration further with the industry players, for example OEM suppliers, because only them have the in-time technology, and also knowing where to go and how to go. You need to have on-track tech textbooks and teachers and course to reflect the current technology growth. And you need to have more and more vocational technician school to support this growth.”“在大专院校开展教育时，需要进一步与行业参与者合作，如原始设备制造商供应商，因为只有他们才掌握及时的技术，也知道未来的发展趋势以及如何发展。需要有与时俱进的技术教科书、教师和课程，以反映当前的技术发展。需要有越来越多的职业技术学校来支持培养更多维修师。”According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, auto production in China reached ten million units in the first five months of the year, up 11 percent from 2022 with NEV production having gone up 45 percent year-on-year to three million units. The problem now is how to maintain this fast-growing NEV fleet on the road. Zhang said, it will take the schools working together with industry - and fast.根据中国汽车工业协会的数据，今年前五个月中国汽车产量达到1000万辆，比2022年增长11%，其中新能源汽车产量同比增长45%，达到300万辆。现在的问题是，如何维持这支快速增长的新能源汽车车队继续上路行驶。张君毅说，这需要学校与汽车产业共同努力，加快步调。3.A NEW EXHIBITION SPACE FOR ANCIENT ARTIFACTS青铜神树“喜迁新居”！三星堆博物馆新馆试运营The new building of the Sanxingdui Museum in Southwest China's Sichuan Province began trial operations today. The all of the first 600 artifacts unearthed from the Sanxingdui ruins are on display in the new space. Zhang Hong tells us more.位于中国四川省西南部的三星堆博物馆新馆今天（07/27）开始试运行。三星堆遗址首批出土的600件文物全部在新馆展出。记者张泓带来详细报道。The construction of the Sanxingdui Museum's new 1.4-billion-yuan building was completed in 16 months. It has two floors and covers an area of 54,400 square meters, five times larger than the old exhibition venue, and the largest museum displaying artifacts in southwestern China.三星堆博物馆新馆耗资14亿元、历经16个月建设完成。新馆共两层，占地面积5.44万平方米，是原展馆的5倍，是目前西南地区建成的最大的遗址类博物馆单体建筑。Yu Jian, Vice Curator of Sanxingdui Museum余健四川广汉三星堆博物馆副馆长“新馆我们整个展陈面积，可能比我们现在（新馆开放前）展陈的面积多两到三倍，文物的数量也是多了两到三倍的文物数量。”“The new building offers an exhibition area that is two to three times larger than we had before. We can showcase two to three times as many relics as before.”A total of more than 1,500 pieces of exhibits, including pottery, bronze, jade, and gold will be on display in the new building. More than 300 of the artifacts on display were recently excavated【挖掘】from sacrificial pits No. 3 to No. 8. Among the highlights are a nearly 4-meter-high bronze tree, golden masks, and bronze figurines, all dating back to approximately 3,000 yearsago. Wooden supports were used to secure the bronze tree when it was moved into the exhibition hall.新馆将展出包括陶器、青铜器、玉石器和金器在内各类文物共1500余件（套），其中包括300余件三星堆遗址3号至8号祭祀坑新出土的文物。展览中最引人注目的是一棵近4米高的青铜神树、黄金面具和青铜立人像，所有这些文物都可以追溯到大约3000年前。在将青铜神树移入展厅时，使用了木条来固定保护树干和树枝，防止文物破损。Guo Hanzhong, Deputy Director of Relics Preservation, Sanxingdui Museum郭汉中三星堆博物馆文物保管部副部长“现在上面绑了多少个节啊，无数个无数个，加固牢实就对了。人都离远点，别碰着了。”"We tied up a lot of junctions of these wood pieces to ensure it's stable. And we made sure it wouldn't be damaged by passers-by.”During the trial operation, admission will remain at 72 yuan, with students getting in half price. Located in Guanghan city, the Sanxingdui Ruins are believed to be the remnants of the ancient Shu Kingdom which was at its height around 3,000 years ago.试运行期间暂执行原票价，普通票72元，学生票半价36元。三星堆遗址位于广汉市，据说是距今约3000年前古蜀王国鼎盛时期的遗迹。#热词加油站commemorative/kəˈmemərətɪv/【纪念的】martyr/ˈmɑːtə(r)/【烈士】cemetery/ˈsemətri/【墓地】veteran/ˈvetərən/【退伍军人】curator/kjʊəˈreɪtə(r)/【策展人】skyrocket/ˈskaɪrɒkɪt/【猛涨】excavate/ekskəveɪt/【挖掘】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

More than 323-billion-yuan worth of imported goods have been purchased there.目前已有近20万种产品入驻位于青浦区的固定贸易服务展厅，进口商品交易总值超过3230亿元。2.WITH EXPANDING AI APPLICATIONS, WHO’S IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT?人工智能蓬勃发展：由谁掌握方向盘？A raft of Chinese tech giants launched their own AI models at the beginning of the year, and now new applications are being developed, creating new demands for qualified professionals. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan visited a tech firm and a university in Shanghai to see where they are all coming from.  今年年初，一大批中国科技巨头推出了自己的人工智能模型，如今新的应用程序正在开发中，对高素质专业人才提出了新的要求。本报记者张诗旋走访了上海一家科技公司和一所高校，了解当前技术发展状况。With just a few voice instructions the car can quickly respond to a driver’s request or question. More appropriately speaking, it’s the new cabin system that is handling the responses. The idea of smart cabin systems has been around for a while, but with support from Sense Time’s new AI model sets, new applications are now possible. It’s all keeping engineers and product directors busy. Liu Hao is one of them.只需几个语音指令，汽车就能迅速响应驾驶员的请求或问题。更准确地说，是新的车舱系统在处理这些回应。智能车舱系统的概念已经存在了一段时间，但在商汤科技的新人工智能模型集的支持下，将诞生更多的新应用程序。这一切都让工程师和产品总监们忙得不可开交。刘浩就是其中之一。Liu Hao, Innovation Product Manager of Intelligent Cabin, SenseAuto刘浩（音译）商汤绝影智能车舱创新产品经理“之前在车舱主要做一些深度学习图像感知类的产品工作，随着大模型的发展，然后加入了创新部门之后，主要是研究最前沿的大模型的产品和技术，把它应用到车舱内，打造一些全新的产品。”“I had been mainly working on products related to deep learning and image recognition. But now, with the development of big AI models, I’ve joined the innovation department. I now work on new applications of the big model technologies in vehicle cabins.”The product innovation department Liu now works in, is a brand-new segment【部分】of the company, established just at the beginning of the year as the company was finishing off its planning for its big AI models.刘浩现在所在的产品创新部是公司的一个新部门，于今年年初成立，当时公司刚刚完成人工智能大模型的规划。Shao Changxu, Senior Director, Product Innovation of Intelligent Cabin, SenseAuto邵昌旭（音译），商汤绝影智能座舱产品创新高级总监“我们要了解一些前沿科技的内容，了解最前沿的大模型的进展、技术，分析调研用户需求，把技术和需求联系在一起，我们工作包括了前期需求分析、技术导入、产品方案设计、前期项目落地都是由创新团队去主导的。”“We have to learn more about the advanced big model development, and also analyze users’ demands, so as to connect technology with the actual demands. The product innovation department is now responsible for demand analysis, tech introduction, product and solution design as well as early-stage project implementation【实施】.”Shao says that while the first members of the department’s team were selected from within the company, he’s now looking for more staff from outside.邵昌旭说，虽然该部门的第一批成员是从公司内部选拔的，但现在正在寻找更多的外部人才。Shao Changxu, Senior Director, Product Innovation Intelligent Cabin, SenseAuto“随着大模型的涌现，收到来自车厂非常多的需求。旅游规划、儿童陪伴、教育这些场景在大模型发布之前几乎很难做到的，但是目前成为现实。这个架构从端侧升级到云端一体的方案，其实对于整个的产品、设计、开发以及质量验收测试都提出了非常高的需求，各行各业都有一些跨界的人才需求。”“With the emergence of the large AI model, we have received a huge number of demands from car makers. Functions such as travel route planning, and children’s services weren’t possible without the big models. But now the structure has been upgraded from just the user end to a combination of that with the cloud. We now have higher requirements for product design, R&D and quality control. We need people from different industries.”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋本台记者While the concept of big AI models has only recently come under the public spotlight, only just recently, the academic world has been preparing for it for quite a while now. The beyond-expectation job offers for the graduates are proof of the hot demand for qualified professionals in the field.虽然大型人工智能模型的概念最近才成为公众关注的焦点，但学术界已经为此准备了很长时间。毕业生们超乎预期的就业率证明了该领域对高素质专业人才的热切需求。Prof. Zhao Hai, Dept. of Computer Science & Engineeringof Shanghai Jiao Tong University赵海上海交通大学计算机科学与工程系教授“博士生有曾经收到过offer年薪达到200万。硕士生呢一般是去就是我们常说的大型的IT公司，他们的自然语言处理方向的部门的招生是还是非常的积极的，实际上本质上是供不应求的问题。我们有特别优秀的硕士毕业生能拿到80万的起薪的年薪。”“One of my doctoral graduates once got an offer with an annual salary of 2 million yuan. Master’s graduates usually go to large IT companies, which are very active in enrolling new people in departments related to natural language processing. There’s not enough talent to fill the demand.  Some of my top master’s graduates are getting jobs with an annual income of more than 800,000 yuan.”Zhao has been teaching students at Shanghai Jiao Tong University specifically in the natural language processing field - the key knowledge required for big AI models - for more than a decade now. And he says the big job offers have been coming in for at least the last seven years.十多年来，赵海教授一直在上海交通大学教授自然语言处理课程——这是大型人工智能模型所需的核心知识。他说，至少在过去的七年里，该行业的就业机会还是比较不错的。Prof. Zhao Hai, Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering Shanghai Jiao Tong University“从3月份开始到7月份，每天平均一天都会有一封邮件要要求来读博士。现在有ChatGPT，所以比如说今年的这些课的话，我就补了一章就是大语言模型。”“From March to July, on average I’ve been getting one email application to study for a PhD every day. After the launch of ChatGPT, I added another chapter into my lessons, on the big language model.”Zhao has just written a textbook specifically on natural language processing, which has included the most recent trendy concept-large language models involving ChatGPT. A college graduate employment data report released by Liepin says that the demand for doctoral graduates in the field has more than quadrupled from a year ago.       赵教授刚刚撰写了一本专门讲解自然语言处理的教科书，其中包括了最近流行的概念——涉及ChatGPT的大型语言模型。猎豹网发布的一份高校毕业生就业数据报告显示，该领域对博士毕业生的需求比一年前增加了四倍以上。3.EUROPE’S EXTREME SUMMER: HEAT WAVES AND WILDFIRES欧洲“高烧”难退 多国山火肆虐Europe is battling the effects of severely high temperatures; June of 2023 was the hottest month since meteorologists began monitoring and recording temperatures 174 years ago. Stephen Rancourt has more.欧洲正在同高温带来的严重影响作斗争。2023年6月是气象学家自174年前开始监测和记录气温以来最热的月份。本台记者Stephen Rancourt带来更多报道。Italy has put 16 cities on red alert because of the high temperatures. These include Palermo and Catania on the island of Sicily.

Sun Siqi takes a look.随着更多的企业落户和公共设施投入使用，嘉定、临港、青浦、松江、奉贤五个上海新城建设已进入全面发力、功能提升的关键阶段。记者孙思奇带您一探究竟。In Jiading, where an automotive industry cluster already exists, an engineering center for car chips opened last month as a home base for the R&D and certification services for companies that manufacture semiconductors【半导体】 for automakers. By 2035, Jiading officials hope to complete what they call a world-class innovation center for chips for smart cars.  在已经形成汽车产业集群的嘉定，一家汽车芯片工程中心于上月挂牌。工程中心将建设汽车芯片研发平台，为服务于汽车制造商的半导体制造商提供全方位测试认证服务。到2035年，嘉定争取基本建成全球智能汽车芯片创新中心。Dong Yemin, GMShanghai Automotive Chip Engineering Center董业民 上海汽车芯片工程中心有限公司总经理“作为一家综合服务提供商，我们提供认证和制定标准，为汽车制造商服务，帮助他们在开发新车型的过程中缩短时间节点。”“We're a comprehensive service provider. We certify, we draw standards. We serve automakers and help them save time in the process of developing new models.”Down south in Lingang, leading lithium-ion battery maker CATL just opened an R&D center for 600 employees.在临港南部，业内领先的锂离子电池制造商“宁德时代”刚刚开设了一个可容纳600名员工的研发中心。Jing Yuan, Deputy Director of DevelopmentLingang New Area Administration井源 临港新片区管委会发改处副处长“这家企业的入驻能够提升整个区域的自主研发的水平，有效形成智能新能源产业的生态圈。”“This firm elevates R&D capabilities in Lingang. It creates a strong supply chain for new energy vehicles.”In Qingpu, the Shanghai United Assets and Equity Exchange has opened a branch office to trade assets, shares, and management rights in both the public and private sectors.在青浦，上海联合产权交易所开设了一家分支机构，从事公有私有资产、股权和管理权的交易。Wu Lieyi, GMShanghai United Assets & Equity Exchange吴烈忆 上海联合产权交易所上海交易总部总经理“我们也整合了平台外部的合作资源，尤其是我们央国企的资源，为青浦的整体的产业导入去做助力。”“We've put together resources from our partners including at central and regional state-owned enterprises so businesses that are moving in can easily find what they need.”In Fengxian, a new boarding school affiliated with Donghua University will open in September. The Shanghai government's vision is for each new town to function as a mini city.在奉贤，东华大学附属的一所新寄宿学校将于9月开学。上海政府的愿景是让每座新城都能发挥微型城市的功能。2.NEW SHANGHAI STREET MARKETS BOOST THE NIGHTLIFE AND THE ECONOMY上海街头市场点亮城市夜经济For lovers of night-life, the city of Shanghai has provided several new hang-out destinations this summer.Five districts in the downtown area have been running street fairs exclusively on weekends. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan visited one in Pudong to check things out.今年夏天，上海为夜生活爱好者提供了几个新的好去处。市中心的5个区举办了周末限定街头集市。记者张诗旋来到位于浦东的一家街市一探究竟。As the weekend night falls, this 230-meter-long road turns into a neon-lit pedestrian street - an exclusive summer weekend night market. Barbecue, fruit, drinks, accessories【配饰】 and makeup... The market has them all.随着周末夜幕降临，这条长达230米的马路变成了霓虹闪烁的步行街——夏日周末夜市的专场。烧烤、水果、饮料、配饰、化妆品…… 这里应有尽有。Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 记者“One of the most interesting things about walking in cities like Shanghai these days is that you can often run into surprises, day or night. This street, for example, during a weekday daytime, it can be full of commuters【通勤者】 and vehicles. But now, on a weekend evening, it's turned into a street bazaar. The charm of this is that you can always see new changes at the same place from time to time.”“如今，在上海这样的城市行走，最有趣的事情之一就是，无论白天还是晚上，你都能经常遇到惊喜。比如这条街，平日里可能挤满了上班族和车辆，但现在，在周末的傍晚，它变成了街头集市。这样的魅力在于总能在同一个地方看到新的变化。”Local Visitor当地游客“边走边逛，也许能逛到喜欢的东西，转角的惊喜也是蛮喜欢的。”“I enjoy a casual walk. I can run into my favourite things - I like the unexpected surprises.” US Visitor美国游客“Just trying to explore the city while we're here for the summer, and so it looks like there's always something festive going on and we thought we'd check out the little street fair here. We're from美国. And the Chinese food in America is nothing like the authentic Chinese food here.”“我们趁着夏天来探索这座城市，这里看起来总是有一些节日气氛，我们想看看这里的小街市。我们来自美国。美国的中餐和这里正宗的中餐完全不一样。”US Visitor美国游客“I've been loving the Chinese food. It's been amazing. I love little markets like this, walking around at night. It's too hot during the day to walk around so much, so it's nice to walk around at night and just explore and see what's going on.”“我一直很喜欢中国菜。太好吃了。我喜欢这样的小市场，喜欢在夜里散步。白天太热了，走不了多少路，所以晚上逛逛很好，可以探索一下，看看发生了什么。”Located in Shanghai's Lujiazui Financial City, the number of shoppers is attracting different businesses from both home and abroad.位于上海陆家嘴金融城的集市吸引了来自国内外的不同企业。Satoru Fujita SIDEKICK Brand Developer, Shiseido CompanySatoru Fujita 资生堂公司SIDEKICK品牌开发人员“This kind of night market not happening in Japan so much. It's very awesome. I decided to come here from Tokyo. Especially when we sell the skincare product that was a department store, or a supermarket, or that kind of closed space, but this kind of area is really open. So that everyone feel the change their mind, no standard way.”“这种夜市在日本并不多见。我觉得非常棒。我决定从东京来到这里。特别是销售护肤品时，以前都是在百货商店、超市或类似的封闭的空间里，但这种区域是真正开放的，每个人都能感受到自己的想法在改变，没有标准的方式。”Yu Chengzhe, Popup Store Supervisor LOTUS Shanghai于承哲 上海乐天Popup主管“在商超里，局限性会比较多，但现在在外场就更加灵活，或者宣传的热闹氛围会更加强烈。成单率会比商场里稍微要高一点。”“There are limitations when selling our products in a supermarket, but now, with the outdoor market, it's more flexible, with better an atmosphere. The purchase rate is better than that in a supermarket.”The 5-week long weekend night market is the first of its kind in Shanghai's Pudong New Area - a new attempt to boost the city's nighttime economy. It's already proved a magnet for businesses, gathering more than 100 companies anxious to appeal to the crowds it draws.  这个为期5周的周末夜市是上海浦东新区的首个此类夜市，这是推动上海夜间经济发展的一项新尝试。事实证明，夜市吸引了众多商家，聚集了100多家急于吸引人气的公司。3.GIANT PANDA YUAN MENG BIDS "ADIEU" TO PARIS旅法大熊猫“圆梦”启程回国，民众前来告别Yuan Meng, a 6-year-old male giant panda born in France, left Beauval Zoo in Paris this morning. He will be flown to the Chengdu Research Base for Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan province. Sun Siqi has more.今天（07/25）上午，出生于法国的6岁雄性大熊猫“圆梦”离开法国博瓦勒动物园，并将于当天返回中国成都大熊猫繁育研究基地。记者孙思奇带来更多报道。Many visitors went to Beauval Zoo to bid farewell【送别】 to Yuan Meng yesterday and took pictures.昨天（07/24），众多游客前往博瓦勒动物园送别“圆梦”并拍照留念。Visitor游客“We saw him for the last time today. He'll leave tomorrow. He'll be in a cage, so we won't see him.” “今天（07/24）是我们和它的最后一次见面了，明天我们就要和它告别了，它会待在卡车的笼子里，我们看不到它。”The 6 year-old male is the first Giant Panda to be born in France, his parents Yuan Zai and Huan Huan were sent to France in 2012. Yuan Meng was born around 5 years later on August 4, 2017.6岁雄性大熊猫“圆梦”是首只出生在法国的大熊猫，它的父母是2012年从成都大熊猫繁育研究基地到法国的“圆仔”和“欢欢”。5年后的2017年8月4日，“圆梦”在法国博瓦勒野生动物园出生。Brigitte Macron, the first lady of France, is the patron of Sino-French panda cooperation. During the naming ceremony, she expressed her gratitude for China's willingness to entrust the precious animals to France.法国第一夫人布丽吉特·马克龙是中法熊猫合作的赞助商。在命名仪式上，她对中国愿意将珍贵的熊猫托付给法国表示感谢。 Brigitte MacronFirst Lady of France布丽吉特·马克龙 法国总统夫人“‘圆梦’和它的父母成为了我们两国之间的纽带，它们是两国人民对话卓有成效的象征。”“Yuan Meng and his parents have helped strengthen ties between the two countries and this kind of cooperation is an effective form of people-to-people exchanges.”On May 17, she visited the zoo to bid farewell to Yuan Meng and took the opportunity to emphasize the importance of protecting endangered species.5月17日，布丽吉特专程来到动物园与“圆梦”告别，并借此机会强调了保护濒危物种的重要性。In 2012, the Chinese Association of Zoological Gardens and Beauval Zoo launched a 10-year international giant panda cooperation and research project, opening a new chapter in Sino-French giant panda cooperation. The agreement was later extended to 2027.2012年，中国动物园协会与博瓦勒动物园开启为期10年的中法大熊猫繁育合作计划，揭开了中法大熊猫合作的新篇章。该计划后来被延长至2027年。#热词加油站semiconductor/ˈsemikəndʌktər/【半导体】accessory/əkˈsesəri/【配饰】commuter/kəˈmjuːtər/【通勤者】farewell/ˌferˈwel/【送别】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

The Chinese Basketball Association confirmed the news this morning, after Anderson, known as "Li Kaier" in Chinese, landed in Shanghai to finalize the naturalization process. Li met Yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, and announced on social media that he would join Team China for the FIBA World Cup this August. Born in New York, Li has played for the San Antonio Spurs, Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timbervolves. In 2018, Li and his mother visited Shenzhen to learn more about his family roots.中国篮球协会今天（07/24）上午发文确认，于美国出生的篮球运动员凯尔·安德森已获得中国国籍，将身披中国队球衣出战世界大赛。“李凯尔”是凯尔·安德森的中文名字，此前他已抵达上海办理入籍相关手续。今天上午，李凯尔与中国篮球协会主席姚明会面，并在个人社交媒体发布视频，透露自己将代表中国男篮出战今年8月的世界杯。李凯尔出生于纽约，先后效力过圣安东尼奥马刺队、孟菲斯灰熊队和明尼苏达森林狼队。2018年，李凯尔和母亲来到深圳，开启寻亲祭祖之旅。2.A NIGHT AT THE SHANGHAI BOTANICAL GARDEN在植物园夜访虫虫是一种怎样的体验？Night tours at museums, zoos and parks have become quite popular since the summer vacation started. One of the most difficult night tours to book a spot-for is at the Shanghai Botanical Garden. Reporter Zhang Hong joined one-of the tours to see what makes their night tours so popular.自暑假以来，夜游博物馆、动物园和公园变得相当受欢迎。其中，上海植物园是最难预约的夜游目的地之一。记者张宏来到上海植物园，带领大家感受夜游的独特魅力。Zhang Hong, Reporter张宏 记者As the sun goes down, the bugs come out at Shanghai Botanical Garden, as many insects that call the garden home, work the night shift. I'm a little bit nervous because, when I think about insects on summer nights, annoying flies and biting mosquitoes are what come to mind.But hopefully, I'll get to see some nicer insects, or maybe even some small animals tonight.太阳落山后，许多生活在植物园里的昆虫就出来上夜班了。我有点紧张，因为一提到夏夜的昆虫，脑海中浮现的便是烦人的苍蝇和叮人的蚊子。希望今晚能看到一些漂亮的昆虫和小动物。Bi Yuke, Senior EngineerShanghai Botanical Garden毕玉科 上海植物园高级工程师“我们来一起探究一下蜘蛛网。小朋友知道蜘蛛网是干什么用的吗？捕猎。蜘蛛要织网的时候，会先找到几个支撑点吐出结构线。再纵向吐一些经线，然后再密密麻麻地吐上这一圈一圈的纬线。我们看它的结构线上，我的手被黏住了吗？显然没有。我们来到他的经线上，手被黏住了吗？也没有。我们看一下它的纬线，手被黏住了，可见只有纬线上面有粘液。”“Let's explore a spider web. Do you know what the web used for? Hunting. When a spider starts spinning a web, it will first find a few support points, and produce some silk as the scaffold. It then spins the radial spokes and later the intricate【错综复杂的】spirals. Take a look at its scaffold. Is my finger stuck? Obviously not. Now the spokes. Is my finger stuck? No. Let's take a look at the spiral filaments【细丝】. My finger is stuck, so you see it's only the spiral filaments that are sticky.”“小朋友发现了一个像小手掌差不多大小的蜘蛛，非常恐怖，它的名字叫做白额高脚蛛，它素有蟑螂杀手的美称。如果你们家里发现了白额高脚蛛，不要轻易用手去拍它，蜘蛛还是有一定低毒性的。但也不用害怕，它轻易不会去攻击我们人类，反而会消灭小蟑螂。”“One of the kids found a spider almost the size of his palm. It's very scary. It is called pantropical huntsman spider, also known as the cockroach killer. If you find such a spider in your house, don't smash it with your hand. The spider is of low toxicity. There is no need to be afraid, it will not attack for no reason. It's preferred prey is small cockroaches.”Unlike observing animals in a zoo, where each species is in some type of enclosure and you know where they are. In a botanical garden, you can't really predict which insects you'll encounter, and where it will happen. This makes the tour more unpredictable but also a bit more thrilling.在动物园里，动物都被关在围栏里，游客可以知道它们的位置。而在植物园里，游客不知道将会遇到哪些昆虫，也不知道将在哪里遇到。这使得参观过程更神秘，但也更惊险刺激。“飞的是什么？蝴蝶还是蛾子？在夜晚出来活动的是蛾子，蝴蝶是睡觉的。这个蛾子，在休憩的时候翅膀是怎么样的？是展开的。白天观察一下蝴蝶停在哪个地方，它的翅膀是什么样的？一般是立起来的。”“What is that flying creature? Is it a butterfly or a moth? Moths are nocturnal while butterflies sleep at night. What's are their wings doing when they rest? They are spread out. If you take a look at a butterfly during daytime when it's resting somewhere. Their wings are usually pointing up.”“为什么蛾子总是在树洞里面飞来飞去？我们这棵树非常可怜，它因为遭受了病虫害，流出了很多汁液。这些汁液对于昆虫来说，就是它的食物。”“Why is the moth flying around the tree hole? This tree suffers from pests and its tree sap is dripping, which is food for insects.”“双叉犀金龟，你猜猜它是男孩子还是女孩子？雄性独角仙有用于攻击和防卫的大大的角，而雌性独角仙就没有这样的结构了。”“This is allormyrina dichotoma (Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle). Guess. Is it a male or female? The male beetles have a large horn for attack and defense, while the females do not.”6th Grade Student六年级学生“锹甲、犀金龟，比较喜欢这种。甲虫类的比较酷、比较帅一点，打斗也很好玩。你带的那个管子能给我们看看吗？我放了几个蝉蜕。”“I love insects like stag beetles and rhinoceros beetles【甲虫】. The beetles are cool and it's interesting to watch them fight. Can I see the tube you brought? I collected some cicada slough.”Parent家长“我们18年的时候开始关注这个，一直抢，没抢到。今年是第一次抢到。家里专门有一个房间，养了各种锹甲，各种各样的虫子。”“We've been following this program since 2018 but we couldn't get a spot. This is the first time we managed to get  a spot. There's a room in our apartment for my son to raise bugs like stag beetles.”Wu Hong, Deputy ChiefShanghai Botanical Garden吴鸿 上海植物园副园长“This project, we have been operating for 15 years. Shanghai Botanical Garden is the first garden to do this thing in China. We will teach them the scientific way to do observation, just like a real research.”“这个项目已经开展了15年。上海植物园是中国首个开展这一项目的植物园。我们会教孩子们科学的观察方法，就像真正的研究一样。”Although the tour is designed mainly for children agedbetween6and 12, I'm also having fun, and learned a lot. I hope they'll put togethera program for adults soon. 虽然夜游项目主要是为6到12岁的孩子设计的，但我也玩得很开心，学到了很多东西。希望能尽快推出一些适合成人的夜游项目。3.MORE INTERNATIONAL DELEGATIONS ARRIVE AT CHENGDU UNIVERSIADE VILLAGE境外代表团陆续抵达全方位体验成都大运村生活64 overseas delegations arrived today.

Astronauts Jing Haipeng and Zhu Yangzhu accomplished all set tasks. Zhang Yue has more.中国载人航天工程办公室表示，神舟十六号航天员昨晚（07/20）完成了本次任务的首次太空行走。航天员景海鹏和朱杨柱完成了所有既定任务。记者张乐带来更多报道。Jing completed his first ever spacewalk while on his fourth trip in space. Zhu became the China Manned Space Program's first flight engineer to take part in extravehicular【舱外的】 activities.景海鹏在第四次太空之旅中完成了首次太空行走。朱杨柱成为中国载人航天工程首位出舱活动的航天飞行工程师。Jing opened the hatch of the airlock cabin at 1:45 pm after receiving the order from the Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center. Jing and Zhu returned safely to the Wentian lab module at 9:40 pm.

As of the end of May, more than 10,000 mutual funds have been released in the mainland. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan talked to 2 of the foreign firms and finds out more about the attractions here.中国是亚洲最大的公募基金市场，规模近28万亿元人民币，对外资金融机构具有巨大的吸引力。截至5月底，中国大陆公募基金数量达到1万多只。记者张诗旋采访了其中两家外资金融机构，深度挖掘中国市场对外资金融机构的吸引力。Foreign financial institutions have long had a presence in the Chinese mainland's financial world, but the market in public mutual funds is a new one for the overseas firms.  Having been in the mainland market for almost 30 years, UK-headquartered Schroders is the latest to have established a wholly foreign-owned public fund management company here.  外资金融机构长期以来一直在中国大陆金融界占有一席之地，但公募基金市场对海外公司来说却是一个新市场。总部位于英国的施罗德公司进入中国内地市场已有近30年，是最新在内地成立外商独资公募基金管理公司的企业之一。Elaine Zhang, General Manager Schroder Fund Management (China) Company Limited张兰施罗德基金管理（中国）有限公司总经理“We have observed many opportunities for excess returns in the Chinese stock market, namely the alpha investments that the asset management industry refers to. From a global asset management perspective, China has become a highly attractive market, considering its high overall savings rate and the low pension savings rate per capita together with the demographic【人口】 trends as well as pension and wealth management demands.”“我们在中国股市中发现了许多获得超额回报的机会，也就是资产管理行业所说的阿尔法投资。从全球资产管理的角度来看，考虑到中国较高的总体储蓄率和较低的人均养老金储蓄率，以及人口趋势、养老金和财富管理需求，中国已成为一个极具吸引力的市场。”Zhang ShixuanReporter张诗旋 记者China scrapped foreign ownership caps in its mutual fund industry in 2020, and since then, has been speeding up its approval.The regulators have now welcomed 4 foreign asset managers to open new fully-owned retail fund businesses. With theirnewmutual fund licenses, some havealreadymade successful launches of their public products.中国在2020年取消了公募基金行业的外资持股比例限制，此后，中国一直在加快审批。中国监管机构已迎接4家外国资产管理公司在中国开设全新的全资零售基金业务。凭借共同基金牌照，部分公司已成功发行其公募共同基金产品。US asset manager Neuberger Berman last November celebrated the opening of its retail fund business in China.  So far it has already released 2 public mutual fund products.去年11月，美国资产管理公司路博迈基金庆祝其在中国开设零售基金业务。截至目前，该公司已发行两款公募共同基金产品。William Hui, Deputy CEO Neuberger Berman Fund Management (China)副首席执行官 纽伯格·伯曼基金管理公司（中国）“The successful launches not only allow us to start building our track records with a decent size, but also it's our first entry to the main distributors within China. For example, our first fund had more than 20,000 investors, which the number is quite surprising to our shareholders. They really have public mutual funds having that many investors in the first year. But versus the population size and wealth size of China is still very tiny. So that's why we do think this market has great potential, even larger potential than the US market from our perspective.”“基金的成功发行不仅让我们开始建立规模可观的跟踪记录，同时这也是我们首次进入中国的主要分销商市场。例如，我们的第一只基金有超2万名投资者，这个数字让我们的股东感到非常惊讶——真的有公募共同基金在第一年就有这么多投资者。但与中国的人口和财富规模相比，这个数字仍然很小。因此，我们认为这个市场潜力巨大，甚至比美国市场的潜力还要大。”Neuberger Berman was the second foreign asset manager after BlackRock to run a wholly-owned public fund company on the Chinese mainland.

NEWS ON 07/201. XI MEETS KISSINER, SAYS CHINA READY TOIMPROVE TIES WITH U.S.习近平会见基辛格：中美完全可以相互成就、共同繁荣2. KEY SMALL COMPANIES SUPPORT RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF CHINA AUTO INDUSTRY骨干小企业支撑中国汽车工业快速发展3. SHANGHAI MENTAL HEALTH CENTER OFFERS TOURS上海精神卫生中心开放参观服务----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦----------------- 1.XI MEETS KISSINER, SAYS CHINA READY TOIMPROVE TIES WITH U.S.习近平会见基辛格：中美完全可以相互成就、共同繁荣President Xi Jinping today met former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing. Song Wenjing has more.7月20日，国家主席习近平在北京钓鱼台国宾馆会见美国前国务卿基辛格。记者宋雯静带来详细报道。Xi said 52 years ago, at a crucial turning point in China-U.S. relations, Chairman Mao Zedong, Premier Zhou Enlai, President Richard Nixon and Kissinger made the right choice to seek cooperation between China and the United States, beginning the process to normalize bilateral relations. This not only benefited the two countries, but also changed the world. Xi said that China will never forget old friends, nor Kissinger’s historic contribution to promoting the development of China-U.S. relations and enhancing friendship between the Chinese and American people.习近平指出，52年前，中美两国处在一个关键转折点，毛泽东主席、周恩来总理同尼克松总统和基辛格国务卿以卓越的战略眼光，作出中美合作的正确抉择，开启了中美关系正常化进程，既造福了两国，也改变了世界。习近平称，我们不会忘记老朋友，不会忘记基辛格先生为推动中美关系发展、增进中美两国人民友谊作出的历史性贡献。Xi stressed the world is undergoing【经历】 great shifts unseen in a century, adding that China and the United States are once again standing at the crossroads and need to make a choice. He said looking to the future, China and the United States have every reason to complement each other’s success and achieve common prosperity, and the key is to follow the principles of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation. Xi added that on this basis, China is ready to discuss with the United States the correct way for the two countries to get along and promote the steady development of bilateral ties. Xi expressed the hope that Kissinger and other people of vision in the United States would continue to play a constructive role in bringing China-U.S. relations back on the right track.习近平强调，当前世界正在经历百年未有之大变局，中美两国又一次处于何去何从的十字路口，需要双方再一次作出选择。展望未来，中美完全可以相互成就、共同繁荣，关键是遵循相互尊重、和平共处、合作共赢三项原则。在此基础上，中方愿同美方探讨两国正确相处之道，推动中美关系稳步向前。希望基辛格先生和美国有识之士继续为推动中美关系重回正确轨道发挥建设性作用。Kissinger said the relationship between the two countries is crucial to world peace and the progress of society. In the current situation, it is important to abide by the principles set out in the Shanghai Communiqué and understand the utmost importance of the one-China principle. He said efforts should be made to advance US-China relations in a positive direction.基辛格表示，美中关系对于美中两国和世界的和平繁荣至关重要。当前形势下，应该遵守“上海公报”确定的原则，要理解一个中国原则对于中国的极端重要性，他表示要努力推动美中关系朝着积极方向发展。2.KEY SMALL COMPANIES SUPPORT RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF CHINA AUTO INDUSTRY骨干小企业支撑中国汽车工业快速发展In the first quarter of the year, China for the first time became the world’s largest automobile exporter. While the car makers themselves usually get all the credit for this, a large number of small- and medium-sized suppliers are crucial elements for the industry as well. Our reporter Zhang Shixuan visited two of them in Shanghai and found out about the key role they are playing.今年第一季度，中国首次成为世界最大汽车出口国。虽然汽车制造商本身功不可没，但大量中小型供应商也是该行业的中流砥柱。本报记者张诗旋在上海走访了其中两家供应商，了解了它们对汽车工业的重要性。The shift from gasoline and all human-controlled automobiles to electric and intelligent vehicles is making cars into computers on wheels - a trend forcing the auto industry to embrace new software and adopt new systems to test it. Liu Chunxiao’s company has been offering automated testing and verification solutions for R&D software in vehicle control for 6 years. With some 30 employees in Shanghai, the company’s revenue has been growing 30% every year.从汽油车、人控向电动车、智能的转变，汽车俨然成了“车轮上的计算机”——这一趋势使汽车行业必须拥抱新兴软件，采用新系统对其进行测试。刘春晓的公司为车辆控制研发软件提供自动化测试和验证解决方案已有6年时间。公司在上海拥有约30名员工，收益额以每年30%的幅度稳步增长。Liu Chunxiao, General Manager of BTC Software Technology (Shanghai)刘春晓 贝腾软件科技(上海)有限公司总经理“The scale of automobile software has been rising rapidly, which has brought an explosive increase in our testing cases. It would be impossible for a person to handle it all just by themselves, so we plan to introduce AI tools like ChatGPT into the engineering outline of our entire demands, to allow computers to understand demands expressed in natural language, and then generate test cases. This will help better test various domain controllers and autonomous driving software.”“现在整个汽车软件的市场规模正在快速扩张，我们的测试用例也呈现出爆炸式的增长。然而这些测试用例完全通过人工去编制的话，几乎是不可能的。我们也打算把像ChatGPT这种AI的手段融入到我们的整个需求的工程理解中，让计算机理解我们自然语言的需求，从而基于自然语言需求自动生成测试用例，可以更好的测试诸如各种域控制器，自动驾驶相关的软件。”BTC is just one of the companies located in the Shanghai Intelligent Automobile Software Park, which opened last September in Jiading District - an area that gathers a large number of auto makers, and auto parts suppliers. Thanks to the density of auto companies on the ground here, BTC has already picked up some big clients like SAIC Volkswagen. Other firms in the area are working on chip for future technologies. This company in Shanghai’s Pudong New Area has been working on microprocessors for auto makers for one and a half years, aiming to reduce their cost by 50 or 60 percent.上海智能汽车软件园于去年9月在嘉定区开园，聚集了众多汽车制造商和汽车零部件供应商，贝腾软件科技公司只是其中之一。得益于这里密集的汽车企业，贝腾软件科技公司已经赢得了一些大客户，如上汽大众。 该地区的其他公司正致力于研发芯片为未来技术服务。 这家位于上海浦东新区的公司为汽车制造商研发微处理器已有一年半时间，目标是将成本降低50%或60%。Zhang Hongyu, Founder & CEO of Chiplet张宏宇，芯砺智能创始人兼首席执行官“Basically, the idea of chiplets is to divide a large silicon into multiple smaller chiplets. The larger silicon has lots of problem in controlling the cost, because when the areas increase, the yield rate drops a lot. For example, when the silicon area is close to 800-millimeter square, the yield rate is below or around 20%. That’s why the silicon is so expensive. If we reduce the area down to maybe like 200-millimeter square unit, then the yield weight will increase to 50 or 60%.”“从根本上说，芯片组的概念就是把一个大硅片分成多个小芯片。大硅片在控制成本方面存在很多问题，因为当面积增大时，良品率就会大大降低。例如，当硅片面积接近800毫米见方时，良品率就会低于或接近20%。这就是硅如此昂贵的原因。如果我们把面积缩小到200毫米见方的单位，那么良品率就会提高到50%或60%。”Zhang says the company plans to begin commercializing its technology shortly, and is now meeting with potential clients. According to a government guideline on the development of SMEs during the 14th Five-Year Plan, China aims to have 1 million innovative small and medium-sized enterprises by 2025.张宏宇说，公司计划在短期内将其技术商业化，目前正在与潜在客户会面。根据政府“十四五 ”期间中小企业发展的指导方针，中国的目标是到2025年拥有100万家创新型中小企业。3.SHANGHAI MENTAL HEALTH CENTER OFFERS TOURS上海精神卫生中心开放参观服务Parents and children are now able to walk into Shanghai Mental Health Center to learn more about psychology and mental health from doctors, as tours are available at a cognitive center at the hospital’s Minhang Branch. Zhang Yue talked to some students and their parents and finds out what they learned.上海市精神卫生中心闵行分院的认知中心开放了参观服务，现在家长和孩子们可以走进该中心，向医生了解更多有关心理学和心理健康的知识。记者张乐采访了一些学生及其家长，并听他们分享所学。Students were surprised to find this black mouse struggled to escape from the water tank, even though it can swim. However, the third time the mouse was put into the water, it swam calmly and found a way to escape. The test studies the learning process and memory ability of animals.学生们惊奇地发现，即便黑老鼠会游泳，但被放在水箱里还是会挣扎着逃脱。然而，第三次将这只老鼠放入水中时，它却平静地游了起来，并找到了逃生的方法。这项测试研究了动物的学习过程和记忆能力。Shen Yanru, Student学生“老鼠游泳的话，其实它和人们的好猎奇心理是很相同的，它们就是在抵达安全的时候又会忍不住去好奇外面的世界是怎么样的。”I find this experiment so similar to the curiosity of human beings. I can see the little mouse is trying to find another way to escape even though it is safe already.By wearing these VR goggles, students are able to enter a virtual world with obstacles around them.戴上VR眼镜，学生们就能进入一个周围有障碍物的虚拟世界。VolunteerShanghai Mental Health Center志愿者“People are able to get close to balls in different colors. This has been used widely in study and research, and it is also helping patients overcome phobias【恐惧】, including acrophobia【恐高症】.”“VR体验的一个屋子，小朋友可以体验就是去靠近一些黑色球，然后他们可以看见不一样的颜色，这个就是可以用于很多科研和实验，比如说包括像恐惧症啊恐高啊之类的。Students also understand why teachers keep asking them to review their homework regularly, as the Ebbinghaus curve of forgetting states that 74% of memory will be forgotten in one day. Students learned that anxiety is a complex emotion consisting of fear, pain, anger, and guilt. For most teenagers, a certain incident triggers anxiety.学生们还明白了为什么老师一直要求他们定期复习功课，因为根据艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线，74%的记忆会在一天内消失。学生们了解到，焦虑是一种复杂的情绪，由恐惧、痛苦、愤怒和内疚组成。对于大多数青少年来说，焦虑通常是由某件小事引起的。Zhang Shengying, Parent张胜英家长“现在因为小孩面临了小升初，所以也面临了一个青春期的一个阶段，所以作为家长，其实我以前是属于比较有控制的这样的母亲，那么我现在也是想来通过这样的活动学习一下，如何可以把孩子的天性就是让他自己说了算，我的人生我做主。”“My kid is going to middle school next semester, which is an emotionally sensitive period for most students. I have a strong desire for control, but now I realized it is vital for us to listen to children about what they want to do.”Yu Qimin, Parent于启敏家长“我们想让小朋友也了解一下，其实有些有些事情的话并不是说所有的压力都是不能释放的，可以通过各种途径去释放。”“I want to tell my daughter that pressure can be relieved efficiently in different ways.”Zhang Yue, Reporter张乐记者Mental health hospitals used to make people nervous or even scared when talking about them. Let alone walking into one on a tour. However, things have changed, as more people are now willing to know more about psychology and mental health. The Shanghai Mental Health Center said that this cognitive center aims to make brain science and related topics part of regular discourse【谈话】 among people.过去，一提起精神病院，人们就会感到紧张甚至恐惧。更不用说走进医院参观了。然而，现在不一样了，越来越多的人愿意了解更多的心理学和心理健康知识。上海市精神卫生中心表示，该认知中心旨在让脑科学及相关话题成为一个普遍话题。Jiang Ping, Researcher of Shanghai Mental Health Center蒋平上海精神卫生中心“希望让他们看到脑科学并不深奥，并不神秘，它同我们的生活息息相关，它会有很多好看、好玩、有趣、新奇的切入点，可以让各个年龄段的小朋友以此亲近脑科学对脑科学感兴趣，那么日后有可能走进脑科学。”“We hope people learn that brain science is not mysterious, but very close to our daily life. It can be studied through some interesting experiments. Maybe they will become a brain scientist one day.”The Shanghai Mental Health Center said its summer study program is fully booked. But those interested in getting a tour are welcome to contact the center for more information.上海精神卫生中心表示，暑期学习项目已全部被预订。但仍欢迎有兴趣的人士联系中心，了解更多信息。#热词加油站undergo/ˌʌndəˈɡəʊ/【经历】phobia/ˈfəʊbiə/【恐惧】acrophobia/ˌækrəˈfəʊbɪə/【恐高症】discourse/ˈdɪskɔːs/【谈话】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

Today's high hit 37 degrees Celsius. Sun Siqi tells us more about how people across the city are managing the heat.今天（07/14）上午9点30分，上海再次发布高温橙色预警，这是自三伏天以来连续第四天发布高温橙色预警。今天最高气温达到37摄氏度。关于上海市民如何应对高温天气，记者孙思奇带来更多报道。In Waigaoqiao, two cargo ships came into port at Haitong Wharf in the afternoon. Stevedores needed to finish loading and unloading 3,000 cars in 24 hours Between the blazing hot sunshine during the day, and the stifling【沉闷的】 humidity at night, they had to rotate on and off shift every hour in order to get the job done safely and on time.在外高桥，下午有两艘货轮驶入海通码头。工人们需要在24小时内完成3000辆汽车的装卸工作。白天烈日当空，夜晚潮湿闷热，为了安全准时地完成工作，装卸工人必须每小时轮班一次。Tang HaiboHaitong Wharf唐海波 码头运营部调度科当班经理“我们会采取工间休息，提前到一个小时一次，并及时发放防暑降温用品。”“Stevedores will take a rest every hour of work, and receive heatstroke prevention supplies and cold drinks.”At Hongqiao Railway Station, the ground temperature was nearly 54 degrees in the afternoon. Police officers were guiding travelers out of the station's P10 parking lot. They were soaked in sweat from the heat and humidity.虹桥火车站下午的地面温度接近54度。由于高温和潮湿，正在引导旅客离开P10停车场的警察完全被汗水浸透。Xu LuyiMinhang Traffic Police徐陆弈 闵行交警一大队民警“我们每天安排人员在这里值勤，一般从上午十点到晚上十一二点，等到大部分地铁或者高铁停运后，我们才会撤岗。”“We've arranged police officers to patrol here every day from 10 am to 12am. They will leave their post when most of the trains finish operation.”At the construction site of S3 highway in Fengxian District, workers in long sleeves and special rubber shoes were working in the high temperatures. As asphalt requires high temperatures to fully mix with sand, summer is the best season for construction.奉贤区S3高速公路施工现场，穿着长袖和特制胶鞋的工人顶着高温工作。由于沥青需要在高温下才能与沙子充分混合，因此夏季是施工的最佳季节。Zhang QiankaiFengxian Construction Development Group张钱凯 奉贤建设发展集团市政公路工程公司机施分公司副经理“沥青配制时，温度一般在175℃以上。我们碾压及摊铺作业的温度，一般在110℃到160℃之间，我们的作业环境通常达到六十度以上。”“When the asphalt is prepared, it is usually over 175 degrees. And the temperature for paving on the ground is between 110 and 160 degrees. So usually we work in conditions in excess of 60 degrees.”To ensure seniors have a safe summer, Shanghai No.1 Nursing Home has installed air conditioners in every rooms and keeping them at 26 degrees. They are also offering snacks like mung bean soup, watermelon and barley tea in the afternoon. The clinic at the nursing home have also made sure to have enough antidiarrheal drugs and IV fluids for their residents.为确保老人安全度夏，上海市第一疗养院在每个房间都安装了空调，并将温度控制在26度左右。他们还在下午提供绿豆汤、西瓜和大麦茶等消暑食品。疗养院的门诊部还为入住者准备了足够的止泻药和静脉注射液。2.2023 SHANGHAI BOOK FAIROPENS NEXT MONTH2023上海书展将于8月16日启幕This year's book fair has eight display areas.

Previously, we've delved into the potential of the market by exploring three shows that hit stages in May. Now, the last in our series covers the plays "Thunderstorm" and "Blossoms". Here's Lei Shuran with the details.渴望感受表演艺术魅力的观众重返观众席，上海剧院、音乐厅和舞厅再次热闹起来。此前，为深入研究市场潜力，我们已经对5月上映的三场演出进行了探讨。现在，系列节目的最后一期将介绍话剧《雷雨》和《繁花》。记者雷舒然带来更多报道。A major sought-after production following its 2022 debut, the Shanghai-dialect version of the classic play "Thunderstorm" hit the stage in the city in May.继2022年首演之后，沪语话剧《雷雨》于今年5月在上海上演，场场爆满、一票难求。The show is choreographed by the Baoshan Shanghai Opera Troupe, which translated "Thunderstorm" into Shanghainese. The play follows the complex relationships between the members of the Zhou and Lu families. It quickly became a "groundbreaker" in the field of realist stage plays, which remain a favorite among people who grew up in the 1950s and 1960s.这部由宝山沪剧团用上海方言演绎的经典作品，讲述了周氏家族和鲁氏家族之间的复杂关系。作为现实主义舞台剧的“开山之作”，沪语话剧《雷雨》在1950至1960年代出生的人心中依然有不可撼动的地位。Hua Wen, Director, Baoshan Shanghai Opera Troupe华雯 宝山沪剧团团长“《雷雨》和我们以前的沪剧完全不同。比如音乐，我们搞的是电声音乐，完全按照电影制作来做的，这样就从年轻人的角度，更好地展现了这部剧背后的隐藏意义。舞美设计的核心概念是一个鸟笼，其实在周朴园这样的一个周公馆里面，他就像一个笼子一样的拴住了那些人性上的一些东西，这个概念就很好。”“ ‘Thunderstorm’ is nothing like our previous Huju operas. For example, this time, we used electronic music in the background. What we've done for the music is very much like what is done in films. It'll be more approachable to young people and better portray【描绘】 the hidden meanings behind the drama. Concerning the stage design, the core concept is a "bird cage", which totally adheres to what we want to express through the show. What happened in the Zhou family is like being locked up in a cage, preventing them from showing the best side of their humanity.”Rao Mingyu, FreshmanShanghai Theater Academy 饶茗钰 上戏大一学生 观众“因为我们是学表演的，所以情节都很熟悉。听我们的老师说沪语版会在情节，包括具体的细节上有一些改编，就想来看一看。”“I'm quite familiar with the plot since I majored in acting. As for the Shanghai-dialect version, my professor said that there'll be some changes, so I wanted to come and see it in person.”Gu Yunpei, High School Student顾韵培 高中生 观众“本身自己是上海人，对保护方言比较感兴趣。因为是学生，在课本上也有这部剧的摘录，所以就过来了。”“I'm Shanghainese and quite interested in protecting our local dialect. Since I've studied "Thunderstorm" in school, I want to take a close look at the show.”Director Hua anticipates that plays in different dialects will flourish, thus she offers some suggestions to those in the industry.华雯表示她期待“方言剧”也可在舞台上占有一席之地，为此她提出了一些自己的建议和想法。Hua Wen, Director, Baoshan Shanghai Opera Troupe华雯 宝山沪剧团团长“我觉得所有的业内人士应该冷静下来，去思考我们怎么做才能让这个时代和社会具有自己的价值，对用户更有意义。如果我们能做到这一点，无论未来发生什么，我们都不会担心被市场淘汰。”“I feel that all of our industry insiders need to calm down and consider what we can do to be more valuable in the market and more meaningful to audiences. If we can do that, then whatever happens in the future, we won't be anxious about being swept out of the market.”Use of the local dialect helps vividly depict the customs, mannerisms and lives of Shanghai people. The stage show "Blossoms" has taken this same approach.方言的注入有助于更准确生动地描绘一个地域的生活风俗和人文故事。除话剧《雷雨》外，另一部沪语舞台剧《繁花》也采用了方言。The play revolves【围绕】 around a group of ordinary people in the 1970s and into the 1990s. It depicts the era's seismic social changes, while portraying Shanghai as a dynamic and glamorous city.该剧围绕着一群生活在上世纪七十至九十年代在上海打拼的小人物展开，叙述了上海在时代转型大背景下的城市变迁，而沪语的演绎则为舞台上呈现上海这座城市的魅力增添了别样的韵味。The play was a hit when it debuted in 2018, with more than 95 percent of tickets selling out. It returns this year at Shanghai Majestic Theater from August 23rd to September 10th, making it the first time for this play to be staged two seasons in a row.《繁花》在2018年首演时大获成功，首轮演出上座率超95%。今年，该剧将于8月23日至9月10日重返上海美琪大戏院的舞台。同时，这也将是该剧首次两季连演。Ma Junfeng, Director, Play "Blossoms"马俊丰 舞台剧《繁花》导演“这就像看戏曲折子戏一样，观众第一天看他演关公，第二天看他演岳云这种非常不同的审美情况和审美形态。这种挑战对我们来说也很有趣，因为我们不想把它变成一个纯商业的东西，我们希望在舞台艺术方面，给观众传达一种互动，希望观众能够在这个当中不只是一种看剧的快乐，也是一种跟剧组成员间的这种非常密切的追随。这样受众会越来越熟悉这些沪语演员和沪语的情感表达，它里面包含了许多属于上海这座城市的迷人文化信息。”“It's like watching a Chinese opera scene as you'll see one actor play different roles on different days. This kind of challenge is also very interesting to us, because we hope "Blossoms" doesn't become a commercial play. We want spectators to have more interactions with our cast members. They'll have fun and get something rewarding. I believe as time goes by, more and more people will get to know Shanghai and Shanghainese performers. The dialect contains so much rich information about how charming Shanghai is.”Shi An, Lead Actor, Play "Blossoms"是安 饰演沪生“对我而言，克服的难点是上海话。虽然上海是我的家乡，但我很少说上海话，所以说得不太流利。不过我觉得还挺开心的，因为这个剧的所有同事，都在用上海话和我们交流，强化我们方言的表达能力。”“For me, the challenge is speaking Shanghainese. Although Shanghai is my hometown, I seldom speak Shanghainese and that makes me not so fluent. But I'm quite happy to be part of the cast, because all my colleagues are speaking Shanghainese every day, which has improved my speaking ability.”A public hungry for the performing arts has streamed back to theaters, concerts and dance shows, revitalizing an industry that was down on its knees.眼下，公众对文化娱乐的需求正在不断增加，人们纷纷涌向剧院，看剧，听音乐会和观看各类演出，上海的演艺市场重新焕发了生机。The start of the new program comes as performing arts are experiencing a strong rebound around the country. In the first quarter of the year, revenue from commercial performances doubled from a year earlier to nearly 5 billion yuan.各类演出类项目也纷至沓来，2023年第一季度，全国营业性演出收入比去年翻了一番，票房收入约50亿元。Ma Chencheng, President of SMG Live马晨骋 上海文广演艺集团总裁“中国的整个演艺行业，尤其是在上海这样一个地方，仍将更多地关注与海外地区的跨文化交流。上海既能够吸纳来自于全世界的优秀作品，同样也会产出更多的优质原创作品走向全世界。所以我觉得就是‘走进来’和‘走出去’，在这条路上，之后会越走越好、越走越大。”“I think the future of the performing arts industry in China, especially in Shanghai, is still focused more on intercultural communications with overseas communities. Shanghai can attract a lot of world-class productions, but we've also got a number of original performances that can be introduced to the outside world. I believe the "in" and "out" way will definitely make our performing arts market better.”The year's calendar of performances extends all to the grass-roots level. Theaters and cultural venues in the Show Life performance zone based in Huangpu District will present over 10,000 performances.今年上海的演出市场也将一直延伸覆盖到社会各个基层。位于黄浦区的“演艺大世界”集聚众多专业剧场和演艺新空间，将为观众带来1万多场精彩纷呈的演出。The Center for China Shanghai International Arts Festival also announced that more than 60 percent of the programs will be from overseas and they will be staged from October 15th to November 15th during this year's festival.中国上海国际艺术节中心也于近日宣布，本届艺术节将于10月15日至11月15日举办，其中境外演艺项目占比近六成。With more international and domestic performers making a return to the city's performing arts scene, the buzz is surely back in show biz.随着越来越多的国内外演艺艺术家重返申城剧场，上海演艺市场定将持续升温，活力迸发。#热词加油站consecutive /kənˈsekjətɪv/【连续的】stifling/ˈstaɪflɪŋ/【沉闷的】portray/pɔːrˈtreɪ/【描绘】revolve/rɪˈvɑːlv/【围绕】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

Sun Siqi tells us how this finding is critical to understanding the human brain.7月12日，一支由中国科学家领衔的国际科研联合团队在国际知名生物学术期刊Cell（《细胞》）上发表了一篇关于猕猴大脑皮层空间分布图谱的论文。本台记者孙思奇带来详细报道，介绍这一发现对于了解人类大脑的重要性。Observe this complicated spatial map of a crab-eating macaque’s cerebral cortex. The scientists conducted RNA sequencing on 143 cortical regions of the primate, and obtained an atlas of 264 cell types in the brain and then mapped their distribution across the entire cortex.请观察这张复杂的猕猴大脑皮层空间分布图谱。科学家对该猕猴大脑的的143个皮层区域进行了RNA测序，将猕猴大脑皮层中的单细胞分成264种类型，然后将其在大脑皮层上的分布情况绘制成图谱。These cell types have distinct functions that scientists didn’t understand until this study.这些细胞类型具有不同的功能，在此项研究前，科学家们对这些细胞类型的功能尚缺乏一定了解。Li Chengyu, ResearcherofInstitute of Neuroscience, Chinese Academy of Sciences李澄宇中国科学院脑科学与智能技术卓越创新中心研究组组长、研究员“猴脑大概是人的拳头这么大，这么大一个组织，（我们需要）去把它每个细胞，它是谁，它在什么位置搞清楚。”“The macaque brain is the size of a human fist. We had to study every single cell in it, where they are and the genetic identity of each one.”The analysis of the entire brain was done at single-cell resolution, a highly challenging task due to their heterogeneity and large brain size. During the process, a chip developed in China proved to be quintessential.对猕猴大脑进行单细胞分析是一项极具挑战的任务，因为大脑体积庞大且脑细胞具有异质性且。一款由中国自主研发的芯片在单细胞分析过程中发挥了至关重要的作用。Shen Zhiming, Deputy ResearcherofInstitute of Neuroscience, Chinese Academy of Sciences沈志明中国科学院脑科学与智能技术卓越创新中心平台主任、副研究员“它的精度非常高，可以到0.5微米。（猴脑切片）贴上去之后（芯片可）捕获RNA捕获之后测序，测序完了就能获得基因的整体空间分布图。”“This chip reads down to 0.5 micrometers. Stick a thin slice of brain tissue on to the chip, and it captures the RNA and completes the sequencing. Once that's done, you get a map for the genetic distribution of this one slice.”With this technology the team collected millions of genetic sequences from 161 slices across the left hemisphere of 3 macaque brains.利用这项技术，团队从来自3只猕猴的161片左脑半球切片中收集了数百万个基因序列。Li Chengyu, ResearcherofInstitute of Neuroscience, Chinese Academy of Sciences李澄宇中国科学院脑科学与智能技术卓越创新中心研究组组长、研究员“深入挖掘这些数据集，我们发现了比较兴奋性的神经元和抑制性神经元，以及非神经元在空间上有非常强的特异性分布。”“We will now examine the data. What we've discovered is that excitatory and inhibitory neurons and non-neuronal cells, respectively, are very closely distributed.”Scientists hope this research will help them reveal functions of the brain at cellular levels, and go on to discover important target molecules and cellular mechanisms that can lead to the development of important brain disease medications for humans.科学家希望这项研究能够帮助从细胞层面上揭示大脑的功能，并进一步发现脑疾病机制与靶点研发，从而推动重要脑疾病药物的研发。2.DONGTAN BIRD RESERVE READY TO FLY AFTER RENOVATIONS暑假可冲！崇明东滩重启开放Dongtan Bird Reserve on Chongming Island has reopened to the public after being closed 10 months forrenovations【翻新】.

The ship is the largest and best-preserved wooden shipwreck discovered in China to date. Reporter Zhang Hong takes a look.为纪念明天（07/11）的“中国航海日”，上海历史博物馆举办了一场新展览，展示“长江口二号”古船的发现和打捞过程中运用的技术。“长江口二号”是迄今为止中国发现的最大、保存最完好的木制沉船。记者张泓带您一探究竟。Known as Yangtze River Estuary No.2, the century-and-a-half-old ship was lifted from the bottom of the Yangtze River last November. Archaeologists are carrying out research and preservation work on the ship at the old Shanghai Shipyard in Yangpu District. Elements of what they’ve discovered are now on display at the Shanghai History Museum.“长江口二号”这艘有150年历史的古船于去年11月从长江中打捞而出，现保存于杨浦滨江的上海船厂船坞。考古学家在那里开展研究、保护工作。部分出水文物正在上海历史博物馆展出。Zhang Hong, Reporter张泓 记者“考古学家认为这艘船可能是一艘清朝时期航行在华东地区的商船。他们在沉船周围发现了相当多的景德镇瓷器。在这个‘水槽’里，你可以拿着盘子‘舀’出一些船上曾装载的货物。”“Archaeologists believe that the ship was a merchant vessel that sailed the waters of Eastern China during the Qing Dynasty. They found quite a lot of Jingdezhen pottery around the wreck site. Here at this ‘sink’, you can take a plate and ‘scoop up’ some goods that the ship was carrying.”95 objects from the ship, including structural components and pottery, are shown to the public for the first time.包括船体构件及瓷器在内的95件出水自古船的展品均为首次公开展出。One of the findings archaeologists made while working on the ship was a vase filled with little cups, so they made this little challengeherefor visitors. The idea is to arrange the cups in order to get as many into the vase as possible.考古学家在船上发现了一个装满小杯子的花瓶，所以他们在这里为观众设置了这个小挑战。观众要将杯子摆放整齐，尽可能把更多杯子装入花瓶。Zhai Yang, Deputy DirectorSH Cultural Heritage Conservation & Research Center翟杨上海市文物保护研究中心副主任“嫁妆瓶里放着50件团龙纹的小碗，小碗因为是被尘封在嫁妆瓶里面，所以还保持了150年之前刚刚出炉的那种新鲜度。更重要的是，我们是在碗和碗之间防碰撞的稻壳里面做了DNA的检测。我们发现这些碗是在江西地区装载的然后从上海出海。”“Inside this dowry vase, there are 50 small bowls with dragon patterns. As the little bowls were sealed inside the vase, they appear as new as they were 150 years ago. More importantly, we did a DNA test on the crop husk inside the vase, which was for protecting the bowls from breaking. We found that these bowls were packed in Jiangxi and they were headed overseas from Shanghai.”Zhai Yang, Deputy DirectorSH Cultural Heritage Conservation & Research Center翟杨上海市文物保护研究中心副主任“为应对长江口这个最大浑浊带恶劣的水域，我们在国内率先开展了智能化水下考古工作，这是我们用的其中一个无人艇。这个无人艇上面搭载了合成孔径声呐，可以对泥面以下的影像做三维探测。这也是我们首次展示智能水下考古技术和装备。”“Because of the harsh currents of the estuarine turbidity zone, we used smart technologies in the underwater archaeological work. This is one of the unmanned vessels we used. It is equipped with sonar, which is able to capture three-dimensional images of an object under the mud. This is the first time that we’ve displayed some of our newest underwater archaeology technology and equipment.”Zhou Qunhua, CuratorShanghai History Museum周群华上海市历史博物馆馆长“上海位于这个中国南北海岸线的中点，也是长江的龙头，所以这座城市的命运跟中国的航运业有紧密的关系。‘长江口二号’是海上丝绸之路、上海海洋考古学和城市命运的一个重要见证物。一般观众在考古展中，看的都是文物本身和文物背后的故事，这是我们传统的概念。这个展览三分之二的体量用来介绍科技。因为这是暑假，我们需要将中国的考古事业让更多观众、尤其是年轻人了解，让学生对考古有兴趣。”“Shanghai is at the midpoint of China's north-south coastline and where the estuary of the Yangtze River is located. The city has always been closely related to China's shipping industry. The ‘Yangtze River Estuary No. 2’ is an important monument of the Maritime【海上的】Silk Road, Shanghai's maritime archaeology development and the story of the city. At an archaeological exhibition, visitors are usually presented with artifacts and the stories behind them, which is the traditional way an exhibition is curated. Here, two-thirds of the exhibition venue is dedicated to introducing archaeological technologies. Because students are on summer vacation now, we wanted to introduce some of the advances that have been made in Chinese archaeology to a wider audience, and especially the young people, to get them interested in archaeology.”#热词加油站disastrous/dɪˈzæstrəs/【灾难性的】logistics/ləˈdʒɪstɪks/【物流】salvage/ˈsælvɪdʒ/【打捞】maritime/ˈmærɪtaɪm/【海上的】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

It's not just a game. Children can also learn about the history of the pyramid on the tour, which is much more interesting than studying on books.”Titled "Horizon of Khufu", the exhibition is the first of its kind in the world that was created through detailed  surveying, scanning, and modelingofGreat Pyramid.

It has attracted more than 18,000 visitors since its opening on May 12.该展览名为“消失的法老”，是世界上首个通过对大金字塔进行详细勘测、扫描和建模而制作的展览。上海站是其在法国以外的第一站。自5月12日开放以来，已经吸引了1.8万多名游客。Ethan Tang, North Asia GM ofMCC International Co.唐祎程 博新元宇宙创始人兼首席执行官“它是一个大空间沉浸式探索技术，观众可以身临其境走入胡夫金字塔。他们可以在里面自由行走、组队、相互交流。它高度还原了我们去线下文旅景点体验的特点，很多以前我们去不到的地方，通过新技术可以更好的展现给大家。我们看重上海年轻人对于沉浸式文旅消费的高追求，也非常高兴能够把亚洲首展放在上海。”“The project is highly reminiscent of when we traveled scenic spots, which allows us to walk freely and talk with others. With the advanced technologies, we can guide visitors to places that they cannot approach. We choose Shanghai as our first stop in Asia, as young people here have a higher demand for immersive entertainment experiences.”Domestic online video service provider iQIYI also see the potential of virtual reality. It spent around three years creating a virtual reality project based on its original drama "Luoyang". Different elements like theaters, VR, and sensory-simulation techniques are combined. Cars, carriages and other props are built into the backdrop of Luoyang, one of China's four great ancient capitals during the Sui and Tang dynasties.国内在线视频服务提供商爱奇艺也看到了虚拟现实的潜力。爱奇艺花了约3年时间打造了以原创电视剧《洛阳》为基础的虚拟现实项目。该项目融合了剧场、VR、感官模拟技术等不同元素。洛阳是中国隋唐时期四大古都之一，汽车、马车和其他道具都以洛阳为背景。Xu Yuxuan, Directorof Public Affairs Department, iQIYI徐宇轩 爱奇艺公共事务部上海事务总监“这个洛阳IP主要是马伯庸的写的一款小说，2021年我们把它改造成影视IP。VR项目是我们的最新项目，其他项目还包括电影和纪录片。我们线下这个600平的空间扫描到线上，通过3D立体的搭建建模，形成了一个虚拟的世界。”“The Luoyang IP was created based on a novel written by Chinese writer Ma Boyong, and we adapted the story in 2021. The VR project is our latest addition to our projects, which also includes films and documentaries. We scan the 600-squaremeter space and make it into a virtual world through 3D modeling.”Shanghai has just released a blueprint for the development of virtual tourism, with the industry scale to surpass 50 billion yuan by 2025. Museums, art galleries, and shopping centers are encouraged to apply technologies likevirtual,augmented ormixed reality systems as well as holographic projection to create immersive experiences for visitors.上海刚刚发布了虚拟旅游发展蓝图，力争到2025年产业规模突破500亿元，并鼓励博物馆、艺术馆和购物中心应用虚拟现实、增强现实和混合现实系统以及全息投影等技术，为游客创造身临其境的体验。Wu Fangyi, Deputy Director ofJing'an Culture & Tourism Bureau吴芳艺 静安区文旅局副局长“我们已经出台政策，鼓励企业在电影、电子竞技和旅游业中加入元宇宙技术，甚至区块链技术。我们给予最高的300万的产业资金的支持。对于一些平台型的企业，比如说打造一个元宇宙世界观，最高可以给到1000万的产业政策支持。”“We have rolled out policies to encourage companies to add metaverse tech, even blockchain technology in their films, e-sports, and tourism industry. Projects that use these technologies can receive an award of up to three million yuan, while application developers can receive up to 10 million yuan.”Shanghai is the first city in China to draft a long-term blueprint for the development of virtual reality applications. It announced in January to boost the industry with an output of 350 billion yuan in 2025.上海是中国首个起草虚拟现实应用发展长期蓝图的城市。上海在1月份宣布将在2025年推动该产业实现3500亿元的产值。2.MANY AREAS OF CHINA CONTINUE TO DEAL WITH FLOODS AND DROUGHT中国多地持续遭受洪旱灾害Chongqing and the surrounding area has been hit with record breaking rainfall during this year's flood season.Two people are missing in Wanzhou District since the floods began, and 17 people have been injured.

NEWS ON 07/061.VIRTUAL WORLD COMES TO LIFE AT WAIC世界人工智能大会：虚拟世界走向现实2.AI CONFERENCE TRADES INTELLIGENTIDEAS FOR INTELLIGENT SYSTEM人工“智”造 ：AI理念赋能智能系统3.COMMERCE MINISTRY SAYS EXPORT CONTROLS DO NOT TARGET ANY COUNTRY商务部：出口管制不针对任何国家----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1.VIRTUAL WORLD COMES TO LIFE AT WAIC世界人工智能大会：虚拟世界走向现实The World AI Conference 2023 opened today with more than 500 exhibitors showcasing their latest technologies and services at venues in Pudong, Xuhui and Minhang. Reporter Zhang Yue visited one of the sideline venues in Zhangjiang this morning to tell us about the highlights.2023年世界人工智能大会今日（7月6日）开幕，500多家参展商在浦东、徐汇和闵行三大分会场展出了各自最新的技术和服务。今天上午本台记者张乐参观了浦东张江分会场并向我们报道了展会上的一些亮点。Switching one backdrop to another might be easier for a news anchor【新闻节目主持人】or a reporter like myself when covering various events. This virtual stage studio system provides hundreds of 3D virtual backdrops, and special effects that can be changed in less than one minute. The system is being used for fashion shows, livestreams, press conferences, and corporate recruitment events.虚拟舞台让新闻主播或像我一样的记者在报道不同事件时可以更方便地切换背景。这个虚拟舞台系统提供了数百种3D虚拟背景和特效，而且切换时间还不到一分钟。该系统可用于时装秀、直播、新闻发布会和企业招聘等场景。Li Yinghua, Exhibitor李英华展商“比如说在电商直播场景，也能够更好的让用户停留在直播间，让大服饰类目的所有的商品展示能变得更有趣味性，可以有效的让你的直播账号你的投流效率变得更好，这只是非常简单的一个应用场景的介绍。那另外一个方面呢就是从大家日常的生活直播场景到企业级的传播，到广电影视类的这种需求，我们从软件做了大量的场景的适配，大家可以从提前为大家预设的这些几百套的场景库里面找到自己可以拖拽像用个人使用的那些非常方便的软件一样快速上手，然后把自己的个性化的内容输出出来。”“Livestreaming scenes can now be more creative, which will make product presentation so much fun and attract more viewers. It’s also very easy to learn and use, just like most smartphone video editing apps.”People are also able to take a virtual tour to space as an astronaut, or be a firefighter operating a scaling ladder and putting out a huge blaze【大火】.人们还可通过虚拟太空旅行体验一下做宇航员的感受，还可通过虚拟场景成为一名消防员，并操作云梯参与一场大火扑救。Shen Pengyan, Exhibitor沈朋雁展商“比如说我们有一块内容是操作一个云梯，一个云梯的话大概是要几百万，那很多其实消防队员他们其实是没有机会去真实的去操作的，那么我们在VR的世界里面可以1:1的还原这个云梯的整个的一个操作的一个模式。像消防、军事、线下娱乐，还包括像无人机培训啊这些领域都有，然后我们这款产品今年下半今年下半年的话会会实现一个量产。”“A scaling ladder costs up to a million yuan, and firefighters don't usually have the opportunities to exercise by using a real one in everyday training. However, our system provides an immersive scenario just like the real one. Mass production of the product will begin this year.“Zhang Yue, Reporter张乐本台记者This vest I'm wearing helps me move in different directions in the virtual world. I feel much less dizzy using this compared to VR goggles. The vest also vibrates. For instance, I can feel it when I was hit by a meteorite in space, making for a more immersive and fun experience.我现在穿着的这个背心可以帮助我在虚拟世界中向不同方向移动。与VR眼镜相比，这件背心能够减轻体验者的眩晕感。而且这件背心还会震动。比如，当我在太空中被陨石击中时，我可以感受到震动，增加了整个体验过程的沉浸性和趣味性。Compared to a two-dimensional map navigator, finding places via your smartphone may become easier. This company has helped Zhangjiang Science City create a holographic model.与二维地图导航相比，智能手机导航有了人工智能技术的加持会表现更佳。该公司已协助张江科学城创建了一个全息模型。Shi Zhiru, Exhibitor石志儒展商传统的导航都是二维，在二维基础上从a点到b点，但是比如说我真的是在途经的路上，我能看到什么有趣的事情，看到什么样的风景，其实在我们传统的这些导航里头，对于我们最终的用户来说，或者是我们的老百姓来说，其实都没有直观的印象的，所以说呢我们这一次在张江科学城，然后将我们张江科学城的中区进行了一个1:1的自助孪生的这么一个复刻，然后构建了一个自助孪生的一个服务性的一个基础的系统Digital twin technology helps you have a clear idea of what coffee shops or restaurants are on your way from a subway station to your office. It helps to virtually present real-world objects and environment. This will be very convenient for people working in an industrial park like Zhangjiang Science City.Visitor from the Philippines菲律宾参观者“Right now this AI technology is really very revolutionizing, including the twin cities program, and the avatar, the online avatar. I think that's something that would really change the way we work.”“现在这种人工智能技术真的非常具有革命性，包括城市自助孪生，线上虚拟人物。我认为人工智能将真正改变我们的工作方式。”At the conference's Xuhui venue, entrepreneurs, professors, and scholars in the AI industry were invited to share their views on how our future will be shaped by artificial intelligence, and how the technology can be better adopted in the finance, video game, and movie sectors. Xuhui District is now home to more than 760 AI companies including Montage Technology, Yitu, and Transwarp. The district said the sector generated 17.7 billion yuan in revenue in the first three months this year, a 23.5 percent increase compared to the same period in 2022.在徐汇分场，人工智能行业的企业家、专家和学者受邀分享了他们对人工智能将如何塑造我们未来，以及如何更好地将人工智能应用于金融、视频游戏和电影行业的看法。徐汇区目前拥有超过760家人工智能企业，其中包括澜起科技、依图科技和星环科技。徐汇区表示，该区人工智能行业今年前三个月营收额达177亿元，同比增长23.5%。2.AI CONFERENCE TRADES INTELLIGENTIDEAS FOR INTELLIGENT SYSTEM人工“智”造 ：AI理念赋能智能系统Staying with the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, our reporter Zhang Shixuan spoke to several companies to find out how the latest large AI models can be applied to industrial manufacturing, medical care and container transport.持续关注世界人工智能大会的同时，本台记者张诗旋还采访了几家企业，以了解最新的大型人工智能模型如何应用于工业制造、医疗保健和集装箱运输领域。Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋本台记者Artificial Intelligence is now a big topic of discussion in all kinds of businesses.  Of course there are always significant concepts that really are ahead of the pack, and that may include this year’s hottest topic, large AI models.  A raft of Chinese tech giants announced launches of their own models in the first half of the year, but are some of them really just attempts to cash in on a popular topic, to get some good publicity?  Or are they serious attempts to dig into some real world problems?  Today at the World AI conference in Shanghai we’re going to try to find out some answers.人工智能现已成为各行业讨论的热门话题。在这其中总会提出一些超前的重要概念，其中就可能包括今年最热门的大型人工智能模型。今年上半年，许多中国科技巨头都宣布推出自己的大型人工智能模型，但巨头们此举是单纯地蹭热度宣传自己的企业还是真的在尝试解决行业存在的现实问题？今天我们将在世界人工智能大会上寻找答案。The word“AI model” is everywhere in the exhibition hall.  SenseTime was one of the tech giants that launched big AI model sets this year and it has already turned models into real applications in energy and industrial manufacturing. What makes the new models a turning point is the additional capabilities that they can empower in the industrial world. And that’s what creates new possibilities for tech applications.展馆中，“人工智能模型”一词随处可见。商汤科技是一家于今年推出了大型人工智能模型的科技巨头，该企业目前已经将该模型应用于能源和工业制造领域。新模型之所以新在于它们可以为工业赋能，为技术应用创造了无限可能。Wang Guizhu, General Manager of Digital Energy, SenseTime王贵珠商汤科技数字能源总经理“产线和产线之间以及这条产线来料的不同，都会使得算法发生效果的过程当中会产生一定差异。比如说货检漏检的数据的体现上，那这些其实是会对AI的落地的这个技术的效果产生挑战的，过去这个问题没有太好的办法，我们很多时候是要靠把研究员再派到现场，再去做二次的适配和调试和训练，现在的话这个效率能够使得我们能少量的研究员加上底层的技术支撑，很好的提高这部分的效率。”“The differences between different production lines and the source materials can create new gaps in the results generated by previous AI algorithm, as in product inspections. But in the past, we didn't have many good solutions to this problem, so we had to dispatch researchers to the site, and conduct secondary adaptions, debugging and training. Now, with the new basis of technology, we'll only need a very small number of researchers, a big improvement in efficiency.”Applications like these have already proven their effectiveness in lithium battery production, helping save 60 to 80% of costs, and doubling or even tripling a researcher’s efficiency.人工智能的应用使锂电池的生产成本降低了60%-80%，这证明了人工智能的应用是有效的，而且研究人员的效率也提高到了原来的二倍甚至三倍。Wang adds that, another benefit of the large models is how they can connect recognition and decision, instead of having to make different individual settings based on differentscenarios【场景】. That has already been applied to the electrical grid sector and to medical care.王贵珠还补充说，大型模型的另一个好处是它们可以做到识别和决策的无缝衔接，无需根据不同场景调整设置。该技术目前已应用于电力行业和医疗保健领域。Wang Danyu, Senior Manager of Global Market Dvlp, AI Healthcare, SenseTime王丹宇商汤科技智慧医疗业务拓展经理“比如说全身上下不同的器官，不同的部位不同的疾病，包括它的这个数据模态也是非常多样的，包括CT、磁共振和医学文本，那么过去要训练这个医疗AI的模型，要针对具体的任务来单独的进行训练，要进行数据的标注，所以他的工作量是非常大的。那么现在自从大模型发布了之后，我们发布了医学的基础模型群，包括了语言的大模型，也包括了不同医学影像的大模型。”“For different organs and different diseases, the data models can be very different, in both CT and magnetic resonance tests. In the past, we had to train different AI models based on each individual task, and annotate data seperately, which required a huge work load. But now, with our new large models, we have launched basic model sets for medical use, including a language model, and a medical screening model.”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋本台记者The popularity of large AI models began with ChatGPT, which offers a natural language processing model that can be targeted on and offered to individual users.  But is GPT’s popularity just a bubble?  The increase in the number of visits to the program had been slowing since February, and last month for the first time actually fell, by almost ten percent.  If its popularity is declining, what is the future of the large AI model?大型人工智能模型的普及始于ChatGPT。ChatGPT提供了一个智能的个性化自然语言处理模型。但是，GPT会不会是昙花一现呢？自今年2月以来，该程序的访问次数增速一直在放缓，上个月出现首次下降，下降幅度接近10%。如果其受欢迎程度下降，那么大型人工智能模型的前景又会如何？Wang Guizhu, General Manager of Digital Energy, SenseTime王贵珠商汤科技数字能源总经理“大模型的技术会越来越倾向于多模态，只是在目前这个阶段呢在这个NLP这个赛道上是相对比较成熟，而且也呈现了这样的井喷，但是其他的维度是一个逐渐落地的过程。那么从实际场景的需要来讲，它也是希望一个多模态的呈现的。因为你搭建这样的模型是一回事，模型的智能化程度是要靠不断的场景打磨，本质上是一个场景打磨算法，软件定义硬件的一个过程。”“The large model technologies will be more focused on multi-mode use. But now, natural language processing seems relatively mature in this field, and is growing exponentially【以指数方式】.  But regarding the demand from real applications, multi-mode is the future, because the intelligence of a model is continously developed through scenario applications.”It’s not just AI developers who have been digging into the applications of the large models. This Shanghai-based autonomous truck maker has also come up with a new 24-hour logistics service run by its self-developed large model, called Terminal GPT. Thanks to the new big AI model, the service is able to integrate into one analysis -- the vehicles, the people, the distances and the energy requirements in ports and factories - it all makes container transport safer.不仅仅是人工智能的开发人员在深入研究大型模型的应用，这家总部位于上海的自动驾驶卡车制造商最近新推出了一项24小时物流服务，该服务正是由其自主研发的大型模型Terminal GPT支持运行。在大型人工智能模型的支持下，该服务能够将车辆、人员、运输距离和港口、厂区的能源需求等信息整合到一起进行分析，从而使集装箱运输更加安全。Chen Yi, Brand PR Manager of Westwell陈怡（未找到中文名音译）品牌公关经理“集装箱物流场景里面其实是非常复杂的，因为它会涉及到非常多的机械设备、车辆以及非常多的任务调度，那在这种情况下，我们的Terminal GPT相当于一个拥有20年操作经验的一位老师傅，比如说可以推荐各种关键性能的智能操作，可以辅助我们的运营人员做出最优的决策，进而可以提升生产作业的效率。Terminal GPT可以跟我们的车队管理系统进行连接，可以对于我们生产作业场景里面的车队实现更好的车队级的任务分发和最优路径的选择。”“Container transport is very complicated, involving mechanical equipment, vehicles and many task assignments. Our TerminalGPT acts just like an operator with twenty years of experience, and helps operators make the best decisions so as to enhance efficiency.  The model can also be linked with our truck fleet management system, and make the best dispatch assignments and other routine choices.”It's not hard to see that the new large AI models have given the original AI systems and technologies the capability of making both decisions and predictions - abilities especially needed by industrial scenarios.And that is a basic characteristic of AGI -- artificial general intelligence.不难看出，新型大型人工智能模型赋予了原来的人工智能系统和技术以决策和预测能力，这正是工业场景所需要的。这也是通用人工智能的鲜明特点。3.COMMERCE MINISTRY SAYS EXPORT CONTROLS DO NOT TARGET ANY COUNTRY商务部：出口管制不针对任何国家The Ministry of Commerce said today that export controls on gallium and germanium are not targeted at any specific country, and the implementation of such actions conforms to internationally recognized practices. Song Wenjing has the story.商务部发言人表示，对镓和锗实施出口管制措施不针对任何特定国家，这是国际通行做法。宋文静带来详细报道。Trade restrictions on the two metals used in computer chips and solar panels were announced on Monday. Companies in China now need to apply for a license to export the metals. The commerce ministry spokesperson said this conforms to internationally recognized practices.本周一，中国政府决定对用于计算机芯片和太阳能电池板生产的两种金属采取出口管制措施。中国企业若想出口以上两种金属需申请出口许可证。商务部发言人表示，这是国际通行做法。Shu Jueting, SpokespersonofMinistry of Commerce束珏婷商务部新闻发言人“出口管制不是禁止出口，符合相关规定的将予以许可。中国政府实施出口管制，不针对任何特定国家。在发布公告前，中方已经通过中美、中欧出口管制对话渠道进行了预先通报。”“Export restrictions are not a complete ban on exports, and items that comply with regulations will be granted permits. China does not target any specific country with the restrictions. Before the announcement of the restrictions, China had notified the European Union and the United States through export control dialogue channels.”The commerce ministry has yet to receive an application to export either metal. Also at the briefing, the spokesperson expressed concerns about the further suppression of Chinese semiconductor companies by the United States.目前商务部尚未收到企业对两种金属的出口申请文件。发布会上，发言人表示恐怕美国将会进一步打压中国半导体企业。Shu Jueting, SpokespersonMinistry of Commerce束珏婷商务部新闻发言人“中国是世界上最大的半导体市场，芯片销售规模约占全球的1/3美方的做法不仅损害中国企业正当权益，也将损害众多国家和地区的利益，阻碍全球科技交流和经贸合作，最终将反噬自身。”“China is the biggest market for semiconductors around the world, accounting for around a third of global chip sales. The US government's consideration of export controls on artificial intelligence chips is detrimental to Chinese companies' interests and hinders global economic and trade exchanges and cooperation. Such actions would eventually harm the interests of the United States.”The spokesperson also said the Chinese government will continue to pay close attention to developments related to the release of contaminated water from the inoperable Fukushima nuclear power plant. China will carefully assess any possible effects to protect Chinese consumers.发言人还表示，中国政府将继续密切关注福岛核电站核污水排海问题的进展。中国将全面综合评估该方案可能产生的影响，以维护中国消费者的权益。#热词加油站anchor/ˈæŋkə(r)/【新闻节目主持人】blaze/bleɪz/【大火】scenario/səˈnɑːriəʊ/【场景】exponentially/ekspə'nenʃəlɪ/【以指数方式】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

We will improve the investment in China consistently, not only our production capacity, but also in realizing research results. This was our original intention for investing in China.”German optics manufacturer Zeiss has rented a building that is still under construction across from its Chinaheadquarters in Waigaoqiao. The company said it rented the land in advance, and will use it for research and development, as well as service management. The industry park where the company is located is now home to 160 companies including those from the United States and Japan.德国光学制造商蔡司在其中国总部外高桥租赁了一栋尚未竣工的建筑物。该公司表示，他们提前租赁了这块土地，计划将其用于研发和服务管理。该公司所在的工业园区现已有来自美国、日本等国的160家企业。In the first five months of this year, another 2,000 foreign-invested companies set up in Shanghai. The actual utilized foreign investment volume exceeded 11.1 billion US dollars in the period, up 17 percent compared to the same period last year. Foreign companies in Shanghai contribute one third of tax revenue and two thirds of total foreign trade.今年前五个月，上海又新设2000家外资企业。前五个月实际使用外资金额超过111亿美元，比去年同期增长了17％。在沪外资企业贡献了上海市三分之一的税收收入和三分之二的外贸总额。2.WORLD AI CONFERENCE BEGINS TOMORROW探营世界人工智能大会：多项人工智能新成果首发The World Artificial Intelligence Conferen ceconvenestomorrow, this year’s event will bring together more than 30 domestic and overseas developers. Sun Siqi takes a look.2023世界人工智能大会将于7月6日开幕，今年的会展将汇集30多个国内外开发团队。本台记者孙思奇带来详细报道。This AI model analyzes a basketball player’s moves in real time: The cameras capture the players’ performance, and the algorithms work out the stats.这台人工智能模型可以实时分析篮球运动员的动作：摄像头捕捉球员的表现，算法计算出统计数据。Wang Zhaohui, Intelligent Sports Director of SenseTime王照辉 商汤科技智慧体育项目总监“包括每个人的技术统计，比如投篮命中率、跑动速度、跑动距离，都可以做展示。现在用的解析其实是靠大模型的算力，远程来支持这套系统的。”“At the end of the game, it generates a montage for your performance. On the side, there's their stats like scoring Percentage, distance covered, and speed. The analysis is remotely connected to our computational power center backstage.”At the booths, you’d find scores of AI models that generate text or graphic designs, and behind all of these models are the firms that develop the algorithms for the systems.在展台上，你会发现大量能够生成文本或图形设计的人工智能模型，而这些模型背后是开发系统算法的公司。Ming Qingyong, Senior Engineer of Enflame明庆勇燧原科技产品高级主管工程师“比如说，我们针对上万张、或者几千万张、几亿张图片，我们通过软件站以及硬件基础可以训练出这些图片的规律，可以得到它的一些特征出来，这个特征就被提炼成为模型。”“Our AI trainer studies up to hundreds of millions of photos. It studies their commonalities【共性】, and that becomes the basis of a model.”And the drones are getting stronger and smarter- this logistics drone plans its route with AI, and can fly safely in minus 20 to 50 degrees, at night or in moderate rain or snow. A real example of a possible future for urban logistics.无人机正变得更加强大和智能——这种物流无人机使用人工智能规划路线，可以在零下20到50摄氏度的恶劣环境中安全飞行，无论是夜间还是在中等雨雪天气。这是未来城市物流可能性的一大实例。Chen Tianjian, Drone System Engineer of Meituan陈天健 美团无人机系统架构师“‘肌肉’方面，它的配送半径从3.7公升级到了5公里。在‘大脑’方面，它首次具备了全像的感知能力，可以让无人机分辨周围的障碍物，进行非常智能的避障操作。”“Its operational radius has grown from 3.7 to 5 kilometers. In terms of its brain, the drone has obtained full vision for the first time. It's much more intelligent and is better at avoiding obstacles.”Getting lost in the metaverse?

Our reporter Zhang Shixuan checks out what they're all doing here.根据国际机器人联合会发布的《2022年世界机器人报告》，中国在工业机器人方面的大规模投资已使中国在全球机器人密度排名中名列前茅，并首次超过美国，这标志着中国工业自动化水平显著提高。记者张诗旋带来现场报道。Construction sites in the past have always been full of workers, busy in all kinds of weather and sometimes exposed to safety risks. But on some construction sites in China now, you can find these machines helping out.  This plastering robot is applying a thin layer of mortar over the wall surface all by itself.  In 8 hours it can complete work on 460 square meters, a job that previously would have been assigned to ten workers.  Robots like this are changing the entire industry.  过去，建筑工地上都是忙碌的建筑工人，无论什么天气都要进行作业，有时还面临着安全隐患。但如今，有些建筑工地已经开始使用机器人协助作业。这台抹灰机器人正独自为墙面涂抹薄灰浆，8小时便可以完成460平方米作业，相当于10个工人的效率。这样的机器人正在改变整个建筑行业。Lin Wenbiao, ManagerScience & Quality Dept., China Construction Eighth Engineering Division Shanghai林文彪 中建八局上海公司科技质量部经理“从2019年开始一直到去年为止，我们整个行业的从业人员实际上每年都以70万到100万的这么一个数量在下降，但是施工企业的数量在增加，从11万到去年年底已经超过14万了。”“From 2019 to last year, the number of employees in our industry has dropped by from 700,000 to 1 million every year. But the number of construction companies has been rising, from 110,000 to 140,000 at the end of last year.”These robots have now finished work on 500,000 square meters of walls on Shanghai construction sites.  They were all developed by the construction group itself, at its in-house engineeringinstitute.  这些抹灰机器人已在上海各大工地累计完成50万平方米的抹灰作业。它们都是由建筑集团内部的工程部门自主研发的。Yin Guanghua, PrincipalIntelligent Construction, Engineering Research Institute, China Construction Eighth Engineering尹光华 中国建筑第八工程局有限公司工程研究所智能建筑部“建造机器人，它在自己作业的同时，也在创造环境。这意味着它们必须不断更新以适应新环境，对算法及其适应性提出了更高的要求。我们需要实现人与机器之间的顺畅协作。”“Robots that work on construction sites are creating a new environment while they work, which means they have to be continuously updated to the new environment. That puts more requirements on algorithms【算法】 and their adaptation.  We need to work out smooth cooperation between humans and machines.”Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋 记者Shanghai's current robot density, a key gauge measuring the adoption of automation in manufacturing, is now already more than twice the global average. Not satisfied with that, the city aims to raise the density by another 100 robots per 10,000 persons in the following years, an increase of almost 40% from now. Where will all the new robots come from? And where will they go?作为衡量制造业自动化程度的关键指标，上海目前的工业机器人使用密度是世界机器人密度平均水平的两倍之多。未来几年，上海计划将工业机器人使用密度将提升100台/万人，相较于当前水平提高40%。新机器人将由哪些机构研发制造？又将被用于哪些行业?Tim Deng, Head of General IndustryABB Robotics China邓奇 ABB机器人中国区通用工业业务单元负责人“第一个是太阳能。三年前，我们在这方面几乎没有任何参考，近几年来，我们的增长率都是两倍、三倍甚至更多。这个市场是非常巨大的。虽然目前看起来有点产能过剩，但我们相信从长远来看，将持续扩大海外市场。它在太阳能和电动汽车电池方面都有很多应用，如装配螺丝驱动和材料处理。”“The first is solar. Three years ago, we had almost no reference in this field, and in recent years, our growth rates have all doubled and tripled or even more. This market is very huge, and although there seems to be a bit of overcapacity at present, we believe it will continue to grow in the long term, including expanding overseas market. There are lots of applications both in solar and EV batteries, such as assembly screw【螺丝】driving and material handling.”The Swiss robotics giant opened a mega factory in Shanghai last December with an investment of 150 million US dollars. As one of the company's largest robotics factory worldwide, the new facility will further energize robotics growth.去年12月，瑞士机器人头部企业ABB机器人斥资1.5亿美元在上海开办了一座大型工厂。作为该公司全球最大的机器人工厂之一，新工厂将进一步推动机器人技术的发展。Tim Deng, Head of General IndustryABB Robotics China邓奇 ABB机器人中国区通用工业业务单元负责人“我们的生产速度提升了200%。我们将在新的和现有的行业中开启灵活自动化的新可能性，比如电子、物流、医疗保健、新能源汽车、电子商务、制药、餐饮和服务机器人。”“We have faster production, with speed improved by 200%.  We will unlock new possibilities for flexible automation in new and existing sectors; electronics, logistics, healthcare, New Energy Vehicles, e-commerce, pharmaceuticals, restaurants and service robotics.”Last year, the annual output of industrial robots in Shanghai accounted for one-fifth of China's total. By 2025, Shanghai is shooting to build 10 industry-leading robot brands and 100 demonstration application scenarios, with the scale of its robot-related industry reaching 100 billion yuan.去年，上海的工业机器人年产量占全国总产量的五分之一。到2025年，上海力争打造出10个行业领先的机器人品牌和100个示范应用场景，机器人关联产业规模将达1000亿元。2.2-YEAR-OLD BOY DISCHARGEDAFTER LIVER TRANSPLANT首例亲体肝移植手术完成，2岁幼童重获新生A 2-year-old boy was discharged from the hospital this morning after a liver transplant at Children's Hospital of Fudan University. It was the hospital's first living donor liver transplant after obtaining approval last year. Reporter Zhang Hong has the story.今天上午，一名2岁男孩在复旦大学附属儿科医院接受肝移植手术后出院。这是该院自去年获得“儿科移植医学”资质后开展的首例亲体肝移植手术。记者张泓带来详细报道。2-year-old Jiajia from Yunnan suffers from biliary atresia and had an operation at Children's Hospital of Fudan University a few months after he was born. This year, he showed signs of liver failure and his parents brought him back to Shanghai. On June 14th, the boy was given a liver transplant. His mother donated a portion of her liver. The process took 6 and a half hours with the two surgeries taking place simultaneously【同时地】.2岁的佳佳来自云南，患有胆道闭锁，出生几个月后在复旦大学附属儿科医院接受了手术。今年，佳佳出现了严重的肝衰竭症状，父母带他带再次来到上海。6月14日，孩子接受了肝移植手术，佳佳母亲是本次手术的供体。两台手术同时进行，整个过程耗时约6.5小时。Jiajia's Mother佳佳母亲“当时我们两个人都去匹配了，但是他爸爸的脂肪肝比较严重。医生讲我的肝比较健康，从我的肝脏中取走了260多克，大概就是1/5左右。”“My husband and I were checked for a match, but he has a fatty liver, so I became the donor. The doctors harvested 260 grams of my liver, which is about one-fifth of the total.”Dong Kuiran, Vice Party SecretaryChildren's Hospital of Fudan University董岿然 复旦大学附属儿科医院党委副书记“由于腹部粘连，手术相当困难，我们需要保持肝脏的结构，并将血管与捐赠者的肝脏相连。我们和华山医院的团队一起合作，手术很成功。”“The surgery was quite difficult due to abdominal adhesions and we needed to maintain the liver's structure and connect the blood vessels with that of the donor's liver. We worked with doctors from Huashan Hospital and the surgery turned out successful.”The hospital obtained approval for pediatric transplants last August, which enables better care of children.去年8月，复旦大学附属儿科医院获得了“儿科移植医学”资质，从而可以为患儿提供更好的治疗。Wang Yi, PresidentChildren's Hospital of Fudan University王艺 复旦大学附属儿科医院院长“如果你没有独立资质的话，那就是要先在成人的医院里做父母或亲体器官的取出，然后再转到我们医院将供体器官移植到儿童体内。但现在可以直接在我们医院进行移植手术，这样质量更高，安全性更能保障。”“Without the qualification, we needed to harvest the organ and transplant it to the young patient in a general hospital for adults. After the surgery, the child would be transferred to our hospital for care. Now we can carry out transplants in our hospital, where children can be given better care by multiple departments.”Children's Hospital of Fudan University is the only pediatric【儿科】hospital in Shanghai that has obtained approval for heart, liver and kidney transplants, according to Dr. Wang. So far, more than 20 kidney transplants have been done at the hospital. The hospital said each year, they have around 60 patients who need a kidney transplant and over 200 who need a liver transplant.据王医生介绍，复旦大学附属儿科医院是上海首个且唯一具备心、肝、肾移植资质的儿童专科医院，截至目前该院已完成20多例肾脏移植手术。该院表示，每年约有60名患儿需要进行肾脏移植，200多名患儿需要肝脏移植。3.IAEA CHIEF VISITS JAPAN TO DELIVER RESULTS OF SAFETY REVIEWIAEA总干事就核污水排海访日并发布评估报告IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi started a four-day visit to Japan today. He met Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and delivered the IAEA's final assessment report of the government's discharge plan. The China Embassy in Japan today said the International Atomic Energy Agency's report does not constitute an approval of the plan. Lei Shuran has the story.国际原子能机构总干事拉斐尔·格罗西今天（07/04）开始对日本进行为期四天的访问。他会见了日本首相岸田文雄，并发布了国际原子能机构关于福岛第一核电站核污染水排海计划的最终评估报告。中国驻日本大使馆今天强调，国际原子能机构相关评估报告不能成为日本核污水排海“通行证”。记者雷舒然带来详细报道。IAEA chief Rafael Grossi met with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo this afternoon to deliver the results of the agency's safety review of Japan's ocean discharge plan. Grossi said the report sums up the IAEA's work over the past two years. All of the IAEA's interim evaluations have been positive and the final report is expected to say that the water sampling, testing and monitoring plans involved in the release are adequate and conform to international requirements.国际原子能机构总干事拉斐尔·格罗西今天（07/04）下午在东京会见了日本首相岸田文雄，并发布了该机构关于福岛第一核电站核污水排海计划的安全审查结果。格罗西表示，这份报告总结了国际原子能机构过去两年的工作。目前所有中期评估结果都是正面的。预计最终报告将称，“与排放配套的水采样、测试和监测计划是完善的，符合国际安全标准”。Rafael Grossi, Director GeneralInternational Atomic Energy Agency拉斐尔·格罗西国际原子能机构总干事“The decision about the option, of course, again, I should repeat, is one that is to be made by Japan. We made an evaluation, we compare with other options and we were able to confirm that this (water dispersion) is one that exists that has proven track record and it's being used, as we speak.”“当然，我要再重复一遍，最终是否会实行排海计划的决定将由日本作出。我们也进行了评估，并将该方案同其他方案进行了比较，我们能够确认这是一种实际存在且有相关记录的方案，而且此时此刻，该方案就正在被使用。”Grossi will visit the Fukushima plant tomorrow. Members of the local fishing industry in the area remain opposed to the release of the contaminated water from the region's tsunami-crippled nuclear power plant.格罗西明天（07/05）将访问福岛核电站。该地区周边渔民仍反对福岛第一核电站核污染水排海计划。Kazuo HasegawaLocal Fishermen福岛县周边渔民“I'm completely against it. They're definitely going to do it. I'm really angry about it, but I have to obey the country's decision.”“我强烈反对核污染水排海，但政府执意这么做。我很气愤，但无力改变政府的决定。”At a press conference in Tokyo today, the Chinese Ambassador in Japan said that the IAEA report cannot prove the legitimacy, and legality of Japan's ocean discharge plan, nor can it absolve Japan of its moral responsibility and obligations under international law.今天，中国驻日本大使在东京举行的新闻发布会上表示，国际原子能机构的报告证明不了日方排海的正当性与合法性，免除不了日方应承担的道义责任和国际法义务。Wu JianghaoChinese Ambassador to Japan吴江浩 中国驻日本大使“从职能授权来说，IAEA是促进安全可靠、和平利用核能的国际机构，它不是评估核污染水对海洋环境和生物健康长远影响的合适机构，并且从一开始，日方就限制了IAEA工作组的授权，不接受评估其他处置方案。”“The IAEA is an international organization that promotes the safe, reliable, and peaceful use of nuclear technology. It is not an appropriate organization to assess the long-term impact of nuclear contaminated water on the marine environment and biological health. It should be noted that Japan has limited the authorization of the IAEA working group, and refused to accept the assessment of alternative disposal methods.”Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said today that China urges Japan to stop the ocean discharge plan and study other options, deal with wastewater disposal in a science-based, safe and transparent way, and subject itself to rigorous international oversight.中国外交部发言人毛宁今天（07/04）表示，中方敦促日方停止强行推动排海计划，切实以科学、安全、透明的方式处置核污染水，并接受严格的国际监督。#热词加油站algorithm/ˈælɡərɪðəm/【算法】 screw/skruː/【螺丝】 simultaneously/ˌsaɪm(ə)lˈteɪniəsli/【同时地】pediatric/ˌpiːdiˈætrɪk/【儿科】 订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

Sun Siqi takes a peek.今年的世界人工智能大会将于本周四在上海开幕，各家公司将借此机会展现正在推进的虚拟人物技术。本台记者孙思奇带大家先睹为快。An avatar generator turned heads last year, as a spherical scanner with 27 cameras captures details of a person and creates an AI actor. An avatar in the metaverse is a user's identity. Over the year, its creator collected information for thousands of AI avatars. This year, engineers are taking it to a new level. Type in descriptions like age, gender and facial or physical features, and an artificial image of a person is generated in an instant.去年，一项虚拟人物生成装置引起了轰动，该球形扫描器配备了27个摄像头，可以捕捉人各种的细节，并生成一个人工智能角色。在元宇宙中，虚拟人物是用户的身份代表。在过去的一年里，该装置创造者为成千上万个人工智能虚拟人物收集了海量信息。今年，工程师们实现了技术衍进，用户只需要输入年龄、性别、面部或身体特征的描述，就可以立即生成对应的“数字人”形象。Zhang Qixuan, CTO of  Deemos张启煊 影眸科技首席技术官CTO“这套系统主要接洽的是游戏玩家或游戏的制作团队，比如你有个方阵，方阵里有100个 不同的士兵，在此之前，可能每个都需要艺术家去精细化手调，有这样的系统后，你只要给100个随机种子，就能生成100个长相不同，但都符合士兵人设背景的形象。”"This is mainly for game makers. Let's say there are 100 soldiers in a battle formation. You'd need artists to draw and fine tune every one of them. But with our system, just give us 100 randomized descriptions, and you'll have 100 soldiers that look completely different.”These images won't look as good as ones captured through scanning, but they're extremely cost-efficient.这些图像的精细度可能不如通过扫描获得的图像，但它们非常具有成本效益。And check out this avatar. It translates what it hears into sign language. This could work as an interpreter for people with hearing disabilities.请看这个虚拟人物。它可以将听到的内容翻译成手语。对于听障人来士说相当于配备了一个贴身手语翻译。Zhang Zhaohua, CEO of DGene张朝华 叠境数字科技（上海）有限公司首席执行官CEO“帮他们解决正常的跟社会沟通的问题，那这仅仅是第一步，第二步可以让他们在这上面学习各种各样的知识，能够让他们真正去融入社会。”"Helping them communicate is just step one. We hope eventually, they'll be able to access all types of information, which helps them really become part of this world.”Last year, the firm created a holographic model of Zhangjiang Science City to give an immersive experience of visiting the tech district.去年，这家公司构建了一个张江科学城的全息线上孪生城市，为人们提供了参观该科技区的沉浸式体验。The World AI Conference 2023 will convene from July 6th to 8th at venues in Pudong, Xuhui, and Minhang. Pudong is now home to Asia's largest computational power center, which provides the infrastructure for future metaverse and autonomous vehicle developments.2023世界人工智能大会将于7月6日至7月8日在浦东、徐汇和闵行等地举行。浦东目前拥有亚洲最大的算力中心，为未来元宇宙和自动驾驶车辆的发展提供了基础设施。2.DATA TECH FIRMS DEVELOP QUICKLYIN NEW SPECIALTY FIELDS科创企业深耕数据要素细分赛道China has been putting a lot of efforts into building basic data systems to put data resources to better use. That includes establishing data exchanges and guidelines of twenty key measures to regulate and support them. Local firms in the industry see increasing business opportunities in the developments as Lei Shuran reports.为更好利用数据资源，中国大力建设基础数据系统，包括成立数据交易所并出台“数据二十条”以监管、支持数据交易市场。业内公司的发展商机与日俱增。记者雷舒然带来详细报道。Clinical trials are an important part of the drug development process that affects cost, speed, and quality. As one of the first firms in China to bring specialty data management to the process, ClinPlus has introduced Site Management Organization for hospitals and developers.  The idea is to coordinate【协调】procedures among sponsors, testing sites, and researchers.临床试验是药物研发过程中重要的成本环节、限速环节和质量环节。作为中国首批将专业数据管理引入这一过程的公司之一，普蕊斯（ClinPlus）为医院和开发商提供临床试验现场管理组织服务和产品，主要目的是为了协调赞助商、测试地点和研究人员之间的程序。Yang Hongwei, Founder&CEO ofSMO ClinPlus Co., Ltd.杨宏伟 普蕊斯股份有限公司创始人兼首席执行官“它是整个产业链里头，最终就是能够接触到患者、接触到医生、接触到申办者的这么一个多方体，所以的话它可能就是真正的去解决了临床实验是做出来的，不是这种监察出来的这么一个概念。比如说这个病人来一次随访，他会做很多很多的这种检查项，会做很多很多工作，那么SMO的CRC在这个医院里头，他也会把这个项目进行解构，进行一个项目管理，尽可能的去把这个法规容许的这种工作的这种东西，把它定义下来，然后让医生回归做医生最擅长的医学判断工作。”“SMO is a multi-party system in the industry chain that deals with patients, physicians, and sponsors, and its significance is to address how clinical trials are done rather than just monitored. For example, if a patient comes for a follow-up visit, many tests will be done and there will be a lot of follow-up work. Our Clinical Research Coordinator at the hospital will deconstruct the items and project manage them, taking charge of the work as much as the regulations allow, allowing physicians to focus on the area of medical judgment in which they excel.”Based on its standardized project management system, ClinPlus has implemented【实施】over 2,500 international and domestic SMO projects as of March 31st, helping some 110 new drugs gain market approval. In addition to data application, data storage, copying and safety have also been areas of key interest in the sector in recent years. Founded in 2011, Information2 Software specializes in data replication products and technologies, and has overcome a number of technical difficulties with the help of the local government. It went public on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's STAR Market in January.  基于标准化的项目管理体系，截至3月31日，普蕊斯已经实施了2500多个国内外SMO项目，帮助110多个新药获得市场批准。除了数据应用之外，数据存储、复制和安全也是近年来该行业关注的重点领域。普蕊斯成立于2011年，专门从事数据复制产品和技术，并在当地政府的帮助下克服了一些技术难题。该公司于今年1月在上海证券交易所科创板上市。Hu Junqing, Chairman & CEO ofShanghai Information2 Software Inc.胡俊卿 上海信息软件有限公司董事长兼首席执行官“数据不仅仅是一个结果，它已经变成了一个源头。数据元素已经成为一种生产资料，一种生产要素。我们这企业并不大，但区政府能够非常准确的理解它的重要性，这就是很大的支持。比如说我们这所处的黄浦区，纳税规模到几十亿的企业比比皆是，我们的企业相对来说很小，但区政府已经看到了我们，针对性的对我们这样的企业提出一系列的帮助和政策，这就是对企业高质量发展的一个一个最大的一个支持。”“Data is not just a result, it has really become a source. Data elements have become a means of production, a factor of production. We are not a big enterprise here, but the district government was able to understand the importance of our business, and that was a great support. For example, in Huangpu District, where we are located, there are many big companies with an annual tax scale of several billion yuan. We're relatively small, but the district government noticed us and provided a series of assistance and policies to firms like ours, which were of great support for high-quality development.”A White Paper on Big Data published by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology points out that in China, suppliers and demanders of data have been expanding from the financial and Internet industries to other sectors, including transportation, medical treatment, government, and meteorology【气象学】.        中国信息通信研究院发布的《大数据白皮书》指出，在中国，数据的供应者和需求者已经从金融和互联网行业扩展到交通、医疗、政府、气象等其他领域。3.QU DONGYU RE-ELECTED ASDIRECTOR-GENERAL OF U.N.F.A.O.屈冬玉高票连任联合国粮农组织总干事Qu Dongyu was re-elected as director-general of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization on Sunday, at the ongoing 43rd session of the FAO Conference in Rome.

It's been a true pleasure to visit your beautiful country. It's my first time to Shanghai and from what I've seen,it’s very beautiful.谢谢来到风景宜人的中国令人心旷神怡这是我第一次来上海所到之处都十分美丽H:You've spent a very full and busy day. You went to Baoshan, the Folk Art Museum, and also you had a business promotion fair in New Zealand Central. On both occasions we saw the performance of your unique Maori art troupes. If I pronounce them correctly, it's Te Whanau a Apanui. They impressed everybody. So have you got some feedback from your Chinese customers, I mean, Chinese potential travelers? How did they like this way of promotion?你们今日的行程忙碌而充实 一早去了宝山国际民间艺术博览馆又在新西兰中心开展了商业合作会在这两处我们都欣赏了新西兰特有的叫作Te Whanau a Apanui 的毛利艺术团表演众人皆为之震撼你们是否已经收到了对新西兰旅游感兴趣的中国游客的反馈？他们对这样的推介活动评价如何？G:First, can I note a special thanks to your people? The way you have cared for Te Waharoa, the carved entranceway, really as a Maori and as a visiting group from New Zealand, truly special to see that you care for a treasure from our land. And what you saw today with Te Kapa Haka group Te Whanau a Apanui was an expression of culture, which is unique to New Zealand. While we bring them to this ancient culture of yours, we have a lot of similarities. And I think when the group performs, it connects with Chinese people, it connects with Chinese values, and it also puts on a great show.首先我想特别感谢你们对木雕“门户”Te Waharoa的保护 作为来自新西兰访问团的毛利人看到你们细心保护我们的宝藏由衷地感到惊喜今天看到的毛利艺术家表演是新西兰独特的文化展现我国古老文化的同时我也看到中国和新西兰有许多相似之处我想艺术家们的表演连结了中国人民和中国文化表演本身也很精彩H:Your main task for your visit here in China, especially this time in Shanghai, is to promote your tourism. And China being the second largest overseas travel market for your country, it's extremely important. How important is it now, after the 3 years of pandemic?新西兰代表团此行来华包括来沪的主要任务是推广新西兰旅游中国作为新西兰海外旅游的第二大市场发挥着极其重要的作用三年疫情过去后现在情况如何？G:The first thing I'll say is for any visitor from China who comes to New Zealand, they've clearly made a choice to come to some way special. We know we are a long way away fromChina. We know that in order to get to New Zealand, you actually make a very conscious decision to travel a great distance. And we don't take that for granted. We know too, though that those visitors are important to our economy, to make sure that we can get tourism back up on its feet and contributing significantly to our economy is a clear drive for this trip, but also a clear priority for this government. And that's an important opportunity for us in New Zealand to rebuild our tourism sector, where we look towards a values base, which is aboutManaakitanga, which is caring for people,Kaitiakitanga, caring for our environment, andWhanaungatanga, connecting people to people.首先我想说每个来新西兰旅游的中国人都做出了非常特别的旅行决定众所周知新西兰距离中国非常遥远你们来新西兰旅游需要深思熟虑才会远道而来我们都清楚我们也知道游客对我们的经济非常重要此次来访目的很清楚不仅是重振我国旅游业刺激经济增长也是本届政府的一项优先级很高的任务因为这对新西兰来说是一个重要的机会来重振旅游业我们看重的是以人为本以环境为本以及民心相通H:The younger generation, or to be more specific, generations “Z”, those are born after the arrival of the new millennium is becoming a major force of the traveling people. Previously we check out Lonely Planet. Now they get information from social media or Youtube or live-streaming. So are there any new strategies tailored for this group of our target consumer?Z时代年轻人 也就是千禧年后出生的群体正在成为现在外出旅游的主力过去我们主要查询《孤独星球》现在他们会从社交媒体网络视频和网络直播上查询信息新西兰旅游局是否为这一特定人群制定了新政策呢？G:Obviously, as part of our trip, the Prime Minister played a significant part in announcing an exciting opportunity that allows Tourism of New Zealand to partner with local social media giant, to spread the message of how beautiful our country is, and how keen we are to see visitors from China. We connect through multiple channels, social media, as you've already mentioned. But what I will reiterate those we can't go past many of the tried-and-true ways of actually connecting with people. And the way we do that is to make sure that those who do come to New Zealand, they are our biggest advertisement. What we've tried to do is we recover from the pandemic is actually have an offering throughout New Zealand. So we want to share the entire country with visitors. And that's the opportunity to capture that free independent traveler, and also to allow them to contribute to local economies, which is really significant for our economy overall in New Zealand. So what we're trying to do is make sure that we spread the message of how beautiful our country is.我们此行一项重要部分就是宣布一个令人振奋的消息新西兰旅游部与中国当地的社交媒体网红合作来宣传新西兰的美景以及我们对中国游客的欢迎我们开通了多种渠道和社交媒体但我想重申我们也不能忽视许多已被验证的可靠的方式我们非常确定那些真正来过新西兰的人们才是我们最大的宣传使者我们尝试在全国上下提供更多服务以期从疫情之后重振经济我们希望整个国家都能迎来游客这也是获取自由行游客的机会让旅游为当地经济做贡献这是整个国家经济恢复的重要手段因此我们长期致力于宣传本国的美丽风光H:In order to attract more Chinese customers, do you have in plan some of the preferential policies to stimulate their business to help them grow better?为了吸引更多中国游客你们是否制定了一些优惠政策来刺激当地经济？G:That's a really good question. And the first thing we say is that tourism operators recognize how important the Chinese market is. Many of them will have bilingual signage, and bilingual offerings so that people can connect with them. Now we've got opportunities in different parts of the country, to support destination management plans, which allow specific focus on operators, and who they might be and how we might be able to support them. There's a huge step from where we were 10 years ago. By the end of the year, we expect our visit to numbers from China to increase significantly, anyway from 700,000 to 850,000 visitors by the end of this year. But we won't stop there. We want to make sure that we can share our offering with as many people as possible. And we expect that next year those numbers will increase significantly. But can I reiterate a very important point? We are trying to promote regenerative tourism where visitors who come to New Zealand actually leave more than they take. And that's identifying that we want to be a low emissions offering. We want to make sure that people look after and respect our environment, in order to keep it in pristine condition for our kids and our grandkids.这个问题很棒首先我们的旅游部门非常清楚中国市场的重要性各地设立了许多双语标识双语服务来更好地服务游客现在我们在全国各地都在强化目的地的管理特别是接待运营方团队的组建以及提供他们所需要的支持与10年前相比 我们又迈出了一大步 到今年年底 我们预计中国游客将迅速增长 从70万人增长至85万人 但我们不会止步于此 我们希望为更多人提供服务 我们希望到明年 旅游人数数据增长更多 我还想重申重要的一点 我们想宣传可再生的旅游这样的概念 也就是说 前来游客可以为新西兰也带来更多 希望我们的服务是低能耗的 希望游客能尊重我们的环境 为子子孙孙保护这样美丽的环境H:Thank you minister, for sharing your insights with us.非常感谢您的分享部长先生G:Thank you very much. And I look forward to seeing you, when you come to visit us in New Zealand.也非常感谢你们我希望下次与你相见是你们来到新西兰旅行之时

Hipkins made the remarks in Shanghai today on the last stop of his official visit to China. Reporter Zhang Hong followed his delegation and brings us more.6月29日，新西兰总理克里斯·希普金斯在访华行程最后一站上海发表讲话称，本次访华的目的是与中国“重新建立联系”，明确表示新西兰欢迎双方的商贸和旅游往来。记者张泓跟随代表团带来了详细报道。Hipkins was welcomed by a lion dance as he visited Shanghai Baoshan International Folk Arts Exposition【展览会】after landing early in the morning. The museum features “Te Waharoa”, a large statue carved from 3,500-year-old kauri wood. It was gifted by New Zealand to China in 2010 at the time of the World Expo and symbolizes the ongoing cultural and business connections between the two countries. 希普金斯于早上抵达上海，前往上海宝山国际民间艺术博览馆进行参观，受到了舞狮表演的热烈欢迎。博览馆特地展示了“Te Waharoa”，这是一座用3500年历史的贝壳杉雕刻的巨型木雕。新西兰在2010年世博会期间将这座木雕赠予中国，以此象征两国持续的文化和商务联结。Chris Hipkins, New Zealand Prime Minister克里斯·希普金斯新西兰总理“New Zealand is home to a large number of Chinese migrants. Some have called Aotearoa New Zealand home since the 19th century. If the Chinese Kiwis now make up 5% of New Zealand’s population, connections of family and friends spread across the Pacific, just as they do for the 1,000 or so Kiwis who are living here in Shanghai. New Zealand is also pleased to again be able to welcome Chinese students and tourists to Aotearoa. This week has been all about reconnection here in China.”“新西兰是许多中国移民的家园。自19世纪以来，许多华人已将‘长白云之乡’新西兰称作自己的家。如今，华裔新西兰人占据了新西兰总人口的5％，他们与家人和朋友的联系跨越太平洋，就像居住在上海的1000多名新西兰人一样。新西兰也很高兴再次能够欢迎中国学生和游客的到来。在中国的这一周，一切都是关于中新两国重建连接。”Charlie Rahiri, Director Maori Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade查理·拉希里新西兰外交与贸易部毛利事务部主任“Maori already have an established relationship from China. Some tribes in New Zealand believe that this is where we came from before we started our great migration around the Pacific and then eventually to Aotearoa New Zealand. So I think if we revert back to those deep links through culture, through connection, then commerce will come.”“毛利人早就与中国建立了牢固的关系。新西兰的一些部落认为其从中国起源，沿着太平洋进行伟大迁徙并最终到达新西兰。因此，我认为如果我们通过文化和交流恢复这些深刻的纽带连结，商业往来也会随之而来。”The Prime Minister and his trade mission went on to New Zealand Central at Xintiandi, where a ceremony was held for the launch of a partnership between Tourism New Zealand and Xiaohongshu, an app often compared to Instagram or Pinterest. 希普金斯和其贸易代表团前往了位于新天地的新西兰中心，举行了启动新西兰旅游局和小红书合作伙伴关系的仪式。小红书是一个经常被比作Instagram或Pinterest的应用程序。He took a selfie with participants at the event and sent a post on Tourism New Zealand’s Xiaohongshu account, inviting people to travel to New Zealand.希普金斯与活动参与者自拍，并在新西兰旅游局的官方小红书账号上发帖，邀请人们前往新西兰旅行。Chris Hipkins, New Zealand Prime Minister克里斯·希普金斯新西兰总理“Since our borders reopened, we worked to drive New Zealand economic recovery by reconnecting with the world, and sharing one simple message: New Zealand is open for business.”“自从我们的边境重新开放以来，我们一直致力于通过与世界重新建立联系来推动新西兰经济复苏。我们要向世界传达的信息简单明确：新西兰开放商业贸易之门。”Hipkins added New Zealand received 890,000 visitors during its summer time roughly from last December to this February. That was two-thirds of the number of visitors that they would have received before the pandemic. An average of 400,000 Chinese tourists traveled to New Zealand each year in the past. 希普金斯补充说，新西兰在去年12月至今年2月的夏季期间接待了89万名游客，这相当于疫情前新西兰接待游客数量的三分之二。过去，每年平均有40万名中国游客前往新西兰旅游。Hipkins is on an official visit to China that wraps up tomorrow. He attended the 14th Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as the Summer Davos Forum, in Tianjin. It is his first visit to China since becoming prime minister and the first visit by a New Zealand prime minister to China since 2019.希普金斯的访华之旅将于6月30日结束。之前他参加了在天津举行的第14届新领军者年会，即夏季达沃斯论坛。这是希普金斯担任新西兰总理后的首次访华，也是自2019年以来新西兰总理对中国的首次访问。2.CHINESE SCIENTISTS DETECT EVIDENCEOF NANOHERTZGRAVITATIONAL WAVES世界级发现！中国天眼“看见”纳赫兹引力波踪影Chinese scientists say they have found key evidence of the existence of nanohertz gravitational waves with the 500-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, which is also known as FAST. This opens an important window into studying supermassive black holes and the evolution of galaxies. 中国科学家表示，他们利用直径500米的球面口径望远镜（FAST）探测到纳赫兹引力波的关键证据。这项发现为研究超大质量黑洞和星系演化提供了重要窗口。Gravitational waves are generated when massive space objects accelerate and disturb surrounding space-time. At extremely low frequency, they give off very weak signals and have wavelengths of up to several light years, and observing them has been challenging. Scientists have been using pulsars【脉冲星】to detect the waves, because their rotation is extremely stable. They use their signal to study how space is affected by gravitational waves. With the FAST telescope, researchers observed 57 millisecond pulsars for 41 months. Detecting gravitational waves will help understand the origins of the structure of the universe and the growth of supermassive black holes.当庞大的天体加速运动并扰动周围时空时，会产生引力波。在极低频率下，引力波发出的信号非常微弱，波长可长达数光年，因此探测引力波十分具有挑战性。科学家一直在利用脉冲星来探测引力波，因为脉冲星的自转非常稳定。他们利用脉冲星的信号来研究引力波对空间的影响。借助FAST望远镜，研究人员观测了57颗毫秒脉冲星长达41个月。探测引力波将有助于理解宇宙结构的起源和超大质量黑洞的增长。3.VISA APPOINTMENTS BACKLOGGEDAS DEMAND SOARS FOR TRIPS ABROAD一签难求？出境旅行需求激增，签证预约积压严重As multiple countries loosened or scrapped【放弃】 COVID-19 travel restrictions since the start of this year, hordes of Chinese travelers are looking to go abroad again. And the lines for travel visas are long. Sun Siqi reports.自今年年初以来，多个国家放宽或取消了新冠旅行限制，大批中国游客希望出境旅行，而签证办理处大排长龙。记者孙思齐带来详细报道。A long line formed outside VFS Global’s office well before it opened this morning.It’sa third-party firm that signs contracts with multiple governments to provide visa processing services. Some traveling to Germany had made their appointment months ago.6月29日早上，VFS Global还没开始营业，但办公室外面已排起了长队，这家第三方公司与多个国家合作，提供签证办理服务。一些计划前往德国的旅客数月前就进行了签证预约。Citizen市民“我是四月份就预约的。非常难约，蹲在网站上去抢。”“I booked an appointment in April. It was very hard. You have to wait on the website for an opening.”And now, the next earliest appointment is September 20th for Germany. Italy has no more available spots. The wait time for a B1/B2 visa to the United States is more than 4 months. 现在，德国签证的最早预约时间已排到9月20日。意大利已没有可预约名额。前往美国的B1/B2签证等待时间超过4个月。The situation is similar at travel agencies. On Trip.com, the earliest departure date for Germany if one requires their visa service is December 20th. The earliest for Italy is December 8th. Though some agencies offer priority service, most can’t guarantee a departure until the end of August.提供签证服务的旅行社的情况也类似。在携程上，如果需要携程提供签证服务，前往德国的最早出发日期是12月20日，前往意大利的最早出发日期是12月8日。虽然有些旅行社提供加急服务，但大多数旅行社无法保证在8月底之前出发。Voice of Travel Agency Representative某旅行社工作人员“现在申根最起码也要到10月11月，没有办法加急，我们申根全都下了。”“For Schengen states, you’d have to wait until October or November at the earliest. We can't prioritize that.”Trip.com says because of visa unavailability, most of their clients are now traveling to closer destinations like Japan, Thailand, and Singapore. This summer, the agency has handled more visa applications than the same period in 2019. 携程称，由于没有签证，大多数客户现在选择前往日本、泰国和新加坡等距离更近的目的地旅行。今年夏季，该旅行社处理的签证申请数量超过了2019年同期。Wang Yiming, PR Director of Trip.com Group携程公关总监汪怡明“长短线的出境需求订单量也是比2019年增长了近一倍左右。”“The number of orders for both long and short trips has almost doubled that of 2019.”But some of the spots seemed to have been purchased by scalpers【黄牛】, who are charging multiple times the original fee. Some are willing to pay.但是一些名额被黄牛买走了，他们的收费为原始费用的数倍。但仍有一些人为此掏腰包。Citizen市民“意大利是去找黄牛帮我们约了北京的号。7月底大概两三千吧，原来好像一千多，他只是帮你抢个号。有的甚至要去云南，这太远了。”“I found a scalper for Italy, they told us to go to Beijing to apply. I paid 2,000, 3,000-something to travel at the end of July. The real fee should be just over 1,000. For some countries, you'd have to go to Yunnan to get a spot.”VFS Global issued a reminder today, asking people to plan ahead of time.VFS Global今天（06/29）发布了一项提醒，建议人们提前计划行程。#热词加油站exposition/ˌekspəˈzɪʃ(ə)n/【展览会】pulsar/ˈpʌlsɑː(r)/【脉冲星】scrapped/skræp/【放弃】scalper/ˈskælpə(r)/【黄牛】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

The design is inspired by the Chinese folktale “The Butterfly Lovers”. This gymnasiumcomplex will be used for the basketball matches in September.杭州奥体中心最引人瞩目的场馆当属“化蝶”双馆——游泳馆和我目前所在的体育馆。该馆设计灵感来自中国民间传说《梁祝》。九月份的亚运会篮球比赛将在该馆进行。The venue can accommodate 18,000 spectators【观众】, and one of the basketball courts can transform into an hockey rink within 6 to 8 hours, so that the venue can host hockey, curling, figure skating, and other ice sports in the future.该馆可容纳18,000名观众，其中一个篮球场6-8小时即可被转换成冰球场，因此，亚运会后这里还可用于举办冰球、冰壶、花样滑冰等冰上运动。The aquatic arena is the second largest aquatic center in China, after the Water Cube in Beijing.

This year’s keyword is “standardization” as experts discuss uniform standards in hospitals and communities. Doctors are also calling for eliminating misunderstandings and discriminatory treatment of epilepsy patients. Reporter Zhang Hong takes a look.  六月二十八日是国际癫痫关爱日，该日由中国抗癫痫协会于2007年提议设立。今年的主题是“癫痫的规范化诊疗”，专家们将讨论从院内到社区癫痫的规范化诊疗，并呼吁消除对癫痫患者的误解和歧视。记者张泓带来详细报道。Epilepsy is a chronic【慢性的】 noncommunicable disease of the brain that affects people of all ages. It is characterized by recurrent【复发的】 seizures. According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 70% of people living with epilepsy could live seizure-free if properly diagnosed and treated.癫痫是一种脑部慢性非传染性疾病，可发于各个年龄段。该病的特点是反复发作。根据世界卫生组织的数据，如果能够得到准确诊断和妥善治疗，高达70%的癫痫患者可实现零发作。At least 9 million people in China have epilepsy. About two-thirds of them haven't been properly treated, and 60 percent reportedly have had the disease since childhood. Doctor Wang Yi, who specializes in pediatric epilepsy, says children may be able to grow up and live just like others if treated early enough.目前我国约有900多万癫痫患者，其中约三分之二的患者没有接受到正规的抗癫痫治疗。据报道，60%的患者在儿童时期起病。专攻小儿癫痫的王艺医生表示，如果尽早接受治疗，患儿有可能像其他孩子一样健康成长并过上正常的生活。Wang Yi, President of Children's Hospital of Fudan University王艺复旦大学附属儿科医院院长“一旦我们早期的干预，早诊早治最终他们可能根本不影响他们的学习、生活、成长，所以其实这个关键的是窗口期还是非常重要的。儿童的发作的表现会非常非常的丰富和复杂，所以其实家长是搞不清楚，就是说他到底是癫痫发作还是非癫痫的发作。我们可以用互联网可以进行一些在线的咨询、视频，包括它的一些临床检验的报告的解读，其实是可以在网上做到的。所以这样的话它的就可以在很快的时间里面可以给病人家长一个比较比较明确的这样的一个诊断和鉴别。小孩子他在用药在治疗的时候，他的自我的体验其实有的时候他是很难表达的，啊他到底有什么不舒服，然后他用了这个药以后，他是不是吃到这个量了，其实应该有一些相关的办法来去进行管理。”“Seizures can vary from child to child. It's difficult for parents to tell whether a seizure signifies epilepsy. Now we can help the parents, especially those from remote areas, to diagnose epilepsy through online consultations. We can also access their hospital test results. Another thing is that, some very young children are not able to tell us how they feel after taking medicines, so we're now working on ways to monitor whether the dosage【剂量】 is correct.”Dr. Wang said community health service centers should play a larger role in treating those with epilepsy.王医生表示，社区卫生服务中心应该在癫痫患者的治疗中发挥更大的作用。Wang Yi, President of Children's Hospital of Fudan University王艺复旦大学附属儿科医院院长“其实他每一次跑到三级医院，这样是不利于他的一个疾病的整体的一个管理的。他开这些药，它是一个长期的一个处方，长期的一个方案，所以这些方案能够让社区医生跟我们的专科医生进行联动，来进行系统化的管理，它会更直接更便捷，而且更贴近这个我们的百姓的这样的一个服务模式，所以我觉得这个可能是我们接下来去推动的一个重点。”“It's troublesome for a patient to travel a long distance to top-level hospitals and it’s not helpful for health management. Since they have long-term prescriptions【药方】, we can keep in touch with doctors at community hospitals and it will be more convenient for patients to get medicines there. Cooperation with doctors at community clinics is an important task for us.”Professor Luo Li, a specialist in hospital management, says it’s also important to raise public awareness about the disease.医院管理专家罗力教授表示，提高公众对癫痫的认识也非常重要。Luo Li, Vice President of Hospital Mgt. Institute, Fudan University复旦大学医院管理研究所副所长罗力“我们首先要做的一个工作是对社会公众和老百姓进行这样一个科普的一个教育。另外一方面让他掌握基本的一些救治知识，比方说用影像的方式。我们还要创造出一种氛围，啊这个在一些特殊的情况下面旁边老百姓伸出援手，我们要采取一些公益性的一些活动，一些基金会的奖励，一些社会当中的一种赞扬，还有就是我们一些公共政策的支持来鼓励这样一种救助的一个行为。”“We need to educate the public about the disease so that they won’t feel frightened or discriminate against these patients. And we need to show videos to people on how to do basic first-aid treatment. Moreover, we should create an atmosphere that encourages people to offer a helping hand. For example, we can organize volunteer events, offer praise and awards with money from foundations. We also need policies to encourage such deeds.”Shanghai Theater Academy worked with Huashan Hospital Epilepsy Center and put together a stage show dedicated to eliminating fear, misunderstanding and discrimination that have surrounded epilepsy. The show premiered earlier this month at the academy. Selected short clips are available online.上海戏剧学院与华山医院癫痫中心合作，共同推出了一场致力于消除对癫痫的恐惧、误解和歧视的舞台剧。该剧于本月初在戏剧学院首次上演，部分精选片段可以在网络上观看。3.SMOKE FROM CANADIAN WILDFIRES CROSSES THE ATLANTIC OCEAN加拿大山火：烟雾漂洋过海抵达欧洲西部Drifting smoke from the ongoing wildfires across Canada is creating curtains of haze and raising air quality concerns throughout the parts of the central and eastern United States. Smoke from the wildfires in Canada has also made its way to Western Europe. Stephen Rancourt has more.加拿大持续不断的山火产生的烟雾正在蔓延，形成了雾霾层，引发美国中东部部分地区对空气质量的担忧。山火产生的烟雾不断扩散，已漂洋过海蔓延到了西欧地区。本台记者Stephen Rancourt带来详细报道。A NASA satellite image taken on Monday shows smoke from Canada’s wildfires approaching Spain and Portugal. According to climate agencies, the higher altitude smoke doesn’t pose the same health risks in Europe as it does closer to the source of the fires. The lower-lying smoke in North America has been triggering hazardous air quality alerts in the U.S. and Canada since the beginning of June.根据美国国家航空航天局（NASA）周一拍摄的卫星图像显示，加拿大山火的烟雾正朝西班牙和葡萄牙方向蔓延。相关气候监测机构表示，相较于离火灾源较近的地区，欧洲地区的高空烟雾对人类健康的威胁相对较小。而自六月初以来，北美的低空烟雾一直在触发美国和加拿大的危险空气质量警报。The area enveloped by the smoke has expanded from the East Coast to the Midwest of the United States. In Chicago, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency categorized the air as “unhealthy” and urged young people, older adults and residents with health issues to consider spending more time indoors.受烟雾影响的地区已经从美国东海岸扩散到中西部。在芝加哥，美国环境保护署将空气质量列为“不健康”等级，并呼吁年轻人、老年人和有健康问题的居民尽量在室内活动。Chicago Resident芝加哥市民“This is bad. I mean, I run a hundred miles a week, so this is going to be dangerous today.”“空气非常差，我每周会跑大约160公里，但今天这样的空气质量，跑步很危险。”According to the Canadian Inter-agency Forest Fire Center, this year’s wildfire season is the worst on record, 76,000 square kilometers of brush and forest are burning in 450 active fires across the country, over half of them are now spiraling out of control.根据加拿大跨部门森林防火中心（The Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Center）的数据，今年的山火季已成为有史以来最严重的一次。在全国范围内，有450起正在燃烧的山火，76,000平方公里的灌木和森林被烧毁，其中超过一半的火灾处于失控状态。#热词加油站venue/ˈvenjuː/【场地】amenity/əˈmiːnəti/【设施】spectator/spekˈteɪtə(r)/【观众】epilepsy/ˈepɪlepsi/【癫痫】chronic/ˈkrɒnɪk/【慢性的】recurrent/rɪˈkʌrənt/【复发的】dosage/ˈdəʊsɪdʒ/【剂量】prescription/prɪˈskrɪpʃn/【药方】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

She now works at a rehab【康复中心】 center where people are treated in a home-like environment. Sun Siqi finds-out how.昔日的吸毒者变成了戒毒指导师，并分享自己的康复故事。目前,顾瑛在一个康复驿站工作，那里的患者在家庭般的环境中接受治疗。记者孙思琪报道。“Everybody out of bed, fold your clothes, and come help with the food.”“大家起床了，赶紧叠你们的衣服，来帮忙弄菜。”20 years ago, Gu Ying was in a similar situation to the people she now helps. She was addicted to heroin and spent the money her mother gave her on the drug.20年前，顾瑛的处境与她现在帮助的人类似。她吸食海洛因成瘾，把母亲给她的钱都花在了毒品上。Gu YingRehabilitation Therapist顾瑛 上海阳光戒毒中心戒毒指导师“那个时候（2000年）认识了我的第一个男朋友，然后他跟我说这个（海洛因）是香烟，是可以止痛的，可以帮助睡眠的。我那个时候就觉得好玩就吸了几口，没想到我是一口成瘾，把以前给妈妈的积蓄全部掏空。”“I met my first boyfriend in 2000, he told me heroin is like a cigarette, it kills pain and helps you sleep. I tried it, and got addicted.”Her family sent her to a rehab center, where she met therapist Qin Hongming, who changed her life.她的家人把她送到康复中心，在那里她遇到了改变了她一生的的治疗师秦鸿明。Gu YingRehabilitation Therapist顾瑛 上海阳光戒毒中心戒毒指导师“（秦老师带来的）那个人是戒了一年。我说我想问你，你觉得你一年戒掉了吗？然后那个男的回答我说，我只要稳定一年，就会有第二年，有第二年就有第三年，然后这句话一直在鞭策我。”“At the time, Qin was treating another guy for drug addiction. He'd been there for a year. I asked that guy, do you think just one year is enough for you? He said, if I can stay out of addiction for one year, I can do it for 2 years, 3 years. That encouraged me a lot.”After leaving his job as a police academy teacher, therapist Qin started Sunshine Drug Relapse Prevention Center. He wanted to explore ways to treat addiction in a family-like environment.在辞去警校教师的工作后，治疗师秦鸿明创办了上海阳光戒毒中心。他希望探索一套家庭戒毒指导模式。Qin Hongming, FounderSunshine Drug Relapse Prevention Center秦鸿明 上海阳光戒毒中心创始人“围绕他的生理心理存在的所有的问题制定一整套的指导方案，这里面有中西药物的干预，有心理上的干预，有家庭的指导，家庭成员怎么来一步步去做。”“The patient has psychological problems, and we need to help with that. Along with medications, we help through counseling, we engage their family members, we teach them how to help them.”Qin's treatment methods proved more effective than other methodologies【方法】 at the time. As a patient improves, Qin guides them to establish a new circle of friends. This is how Gu recovered. She chose to become a therapist and work at the rehab center. She found telling her own rehab story extremely helpful in treatment.事实证明，秦鸿明的治疗方法比当时的其他方法更有效。随着病人病情的好转，秦鸿明引导他们建立新的朋友圈。顾瑛就是这样康复的。之后,她选择成为一名治疗师，在康复中心工作。她发现讲述自己的康复故事对治疗非常有帮助。In 2021, she branched out on her own, renting a house in the suburbs and turning it into a new facility. Two young adults are here now. 19-year-old Mr. Wang has had trouble managing anxiety while cutting back on drug use.2021年，顾瑛在之前经验的基础上在上海郊区租了一栋房子作为康复驿站。现在驿站有两个年轻人。19岁的小王在戒毒的过程中还是难以控制焦虑情绪。WangDrug addict小王（化名） 戒毒人员“脾气暴躁，抑郁焦虑，有时候抑郁到一定的程度会想自杀。顾老师当时跟我说的是不单只是戒毒，还是要改变你认知的，所以我就过来。”“I felt angry, depressed and suicidal. Ms. Gu told me that what I'm doing isn't just cutting, it's changing how I see myself.”Gu YingRehabilitation Therapist顾瑛 上海阳光戒毒中心戒毒指导师“因为他们是新型毒品（受害者），比如说一般都是他们认知问题很严重，大家住在一起就会自己照见自己，然后他会想到原来碰这个东西会变成这样，我不能再碰了。”“Some of them have self-awareness problems. When we live together, they start to see themselves through the eyes of others, and they realize they've become what they've become because of drugs. They see they must sever the links to the drug.”Some patients left their hometown and old friends to be here, which is essential to ending their addiction. Gu helps them with skills so they can rebuild their life.  一些病人离开家乡、告别朋友来到这里，这对他们戒掉毒瘾至关重要。顾瑛帮助他们掌握技能，以便他们能够重建自己的生活。Gu YingRehabilitation Therapist顾瑛 上海阳光戒毒中心戒毒指导师“每个人都不会动手，说句难听话最好躺着，有人最好帮他什么都送到他面前来，但是个个回去以后变了，父母都说变了一个人，从来没想到他会变成这样的人。”“When they arrived, none of them seemed to want to do any work. They'd rather have everything brought to them. By the time they leave though, even their family members notice how they've changed.”Gu's facility has helped dozens of addicts over 2 years. Some have attended drug-prevention info sessions in universities. In the future, her center may be linked up with job centers so former patients can find employment. Gu's biggest wish is to help those who have seen their lives overturned by drugs recover and rebound.两年来，顾瑛的驿站已经成功帮助了几十名吸毒者戒毒。一些人还参加了大学的毒品预防信息会。在未来，她的中心可能会与就业中心合作，以便患者在戒毒后能找到工作。顾瑛最大的愿望是看到那些深受毒品困扰的人生活回到正轨。2.NINE SENTENCED TO PRISON SALEOF PIRATED LARP GAME SCRIPTS首例盗版“剧本杀”侵犯著作权案公开宣判A group of nine were sentenced to prison yesterday for producing and selling pirated copies of live action role-playing game scripts.

1.FRENCH COMPANIES GROW IN CHINA TO AID CARBON NEUTRALITY GOALS法国企业助力中国碳中和目标2.SUBURBAN DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL ACTIVITIES龙舟竞渡正端午长三角龙舟邀请赛在金山举行 3.RESCUERS ARE IN AN ALL-NIGHT RACE TO SAVE MISSING SUBMERSIBLE CREW彻夜搜救！持续关注失联泰坦号----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1.FRENCH COMPANIES GROW IN CHINA TO AID CARBON NEUTRALITY GOALS法国企业助力中国碳中和目标With France the next stop on Chinese Premier Li Qiang's European trip, he will soon be attending the Summit for a New Global Financing Pact initiated by French President Emmnuel Macron. He will also be working on strengthening cooperation and exchanges with France in a variety of fields including low-carbon development. French companies here are helping China work towards its climate goals of reaching peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality before 2060. Lei Shuran has more.中国国务院总理李强即将抵达法国，开启欧洲之行的下一站。李强将参加法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙发起的新全球融资契约峰会，还将致力于加强与法国在包括绿色低碳发展在内的各个领域的合作与交流。在此期间，法国企业助力中国实现气候目标，即在2030年之前实现碳达峰，在2060年之前实现碳中和。记者雷舒然带来详细报道。China’s ambitious carbon reduction goals have created new business opportunities for French firms. Gas equipment supplier Air Liquide has participated in and completed the construction of more than 70 hydrogen refueling stations in China. It was also part of the clean energy guarantee for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games, providing hydrogen refueling equipment and technology for the 4 hydrogen refueling stations serving the Games.中国宏大的减排目标为法国企业创造了新的商机。法国气体设备供应商液化空气集团（Air Liquide）已在中国参与建设了70多个氢气加注站。该公司还参与了2022年北京冬奥会的清洁能源保障工作，为冬奥会提供了4个氢气加注站及加氢设备和技术。Yan Jinping, COO ofAir Liquide (China) Holding阎金平液化空气（中国）投资有限公司首席运营官“中国是最大的消费市场，也是液化空气集团的第三大市场，近年来，液化空气集团一直积极采购可再生电力，以帮助我们在中国的工厂脱碳。例如，2022年预计采购低碳电力1200GWh，比2020年增长约120%。未来三年，我们将在中国各地的工厂安装屋顶光伏板，旨在每年减排CO2 5000多吨。”“China is the world’s biggest consumer market. And it is the third largest market for Air Liquide. In recent years, we have been actively sourcing renewable electricity to help decarbonize【脱碳】 our plants in China. in 2023 we expect to source 1,200 gigawatt hours of low-carbon electricity, an increase of approximately 120 percent over 2020. Over the next three years, we will install rooftop photovoltaic panels at our plants across China, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions by more than 5,000 tons per year.”Expansion of French green investment in China has also come to the construction sector. Saint-Gobain, a manufacturer of sustainable construction materials, has been doing business in China for 38 years, and this month announced the inauguration【开创】of a new plaster plant in Yuzhou, Henan Province to expand its business from the country's coastal areas to more central provinces.法国在中国的绿色投资还扩大到了建筑领域。可持续建筑材料制造商圣戈班在中国经营已有38年。本月该集团宣布在河南省禹州市开设一家新的石膏生产厂，将业务从中国沿海地区扩展到更多的中部省份。Ludovic Weber, CEOofSaint-Gobain Asia-Pacific韦博立圣戈班亚太区首席执行官“We have a lot of confidence in China and a lot of projects are happening. Today, as we speak, we have six new lines or new plants ongoing. Buildings represent 40% of the CO2 emission in the world. It's massive. And it's impossible to reach carbon neutrality if we don't reach carbon neutral building. And this is exactly the business of Saint Gobain. And it's perfectly aligned with the corporation between France and China in the area of carbon neutrality.”“我们对中国充满信心，有很多项目正在进行中。今天此刻，我们就有六条新生产线和新厂区正式开工建设。建筑物在全球二氧化碳排放中占比40%。这是个不小的比例。如果我们不能实现建筑物的碳中和，就不可能实现碳中和目标。而这正是圣戈班的业务所在，与法国和中国在碳中和领域的合作完全契合。”France was China’s fourth largest trading partner in the EU in 2022, with total trade value of 72,740 million euros, accounting for 8.5 percent of the China-EU trade volume. During French President Emmnuel Macron's visit to China in April, the two sides signed nearly 40 intergovernmental agreements and business contracts in a wide range of areas including aviation, science and technology, education and agriculture. China and France will celebrate the 60th anniversary of their diplomatic ties next year.2022年，法国是中国在欧盟的第四大贸易伙伴，双边贸易总额达到727.4亿欧元，占中欧贸易总量的8.5%。在法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙今年4月对中国进行访问期间，双方签署了近40项政府间协议和商业合同，涵盖了航空、科技、教育、农业等多个领域。明年，中法将庆祝两国建交60周年。2.SUBURBAN DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL ACTIVITIES龙舟竞渡正端午长三角龙舟邀请赛在金山举行 The 2023 Yangtze River Delta Dragon Boat Invitational took place today in Jinshan District to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.6月22日，2023年长江三角洲龙舟邀请赛在金山区举行，以庆祝端午节。30 teams from Shanghai’s Jinshan District and neighboring provinces of Zhejiang and Jiangsu competed.

More than 3,600 primary and middle school students participated in a variety of festive activities, including dragon boat races, lion dances and kite-flying competitions.来自上海金山区以及浙江和江苏两省共30支队伍参加了比赛。其中一支队伍为上海国际友人龙舟队，由来自德国、新加坡和马来西亚，在上海生活和工作的外籍人士组成。此外，今天上午在青浦区东方绿舟还举行了一场学生全能赛。3600多名中小学生参加了各种节庆活动，包括龙舟比赛、舞狮和放风筝比赛等。3.RESCUERS ARE IN AN ALL-NIGHT RACE TO SAVE MISSING SUBMERSIBLE CREW彻夜搜救！持续关注失联泰坦号A massive search and rescue effort for a missing submersible near the wreck of the Titanic is now in a critical stage, with just hours before its oxygen supply aboard the vessel is expected to run out. Stephen Rancourt has more.对在“泰坦尼克”号沉船附近失踪的“泰坦”号潜水器的大规模搜救行动目前正处于关键阶段，预计不出几个小时，船上的氧气供应将耗尽。本台记者Stephen Rancourt的报道。（注：美国海岸警卫队22日表示，搭载5人前“泰坦尼克”号邮轮残骸考察的“泰坦”号深潜器已经被确认水下解体，全部乘员遇难。）Rescuers searching for the Titan submersible on Wednesday concentrated their efforts on a remote area of the North Atlantic where undersea noises have been detected, though officials cautioned the sounds may not have originated from the Titan. Organizers of the multinational response -- which includes American and Canadian military planes, coast guard ships and remote operated vehicles-- are focusing their efforts in the North Atlantic close to where the noises were detected by sonar.周三，搜救人员将搜寻泰坦号潜水器的重点集中在北大西洋的一个偏远地区，那里探测到了“水下噪音”，尽管官方提醒称这些声音可能并非来自泰坦号。跨国搜救行动的组织者，其中包括美国和加拿大的军用飞机、海岸警卫队舰艇和远程操作器械等正集中力量在北大西洋的探测区域搜救，搜救区域曾通过声纳探测到了水下噪音。Jamie Frederick,Response Coordinator for Rescue Effort弗雷德里克   救援行动响应协调员“This is an incredibly complex search operation requiring both surface and sub-surface elements, we also have to factor in the ever-changing weather conditions, currents and sea states that expand the search area every hour. The good news is what I can tell you is we’re searching in the area where the noises were detected and we’ll continue to do so.”“这是一项极其复杂的搜救行动，需要水上和水下的配合，还需要考虑到不断变化的天气、洋流和海况，这导致搜救区域不断扩大。但我们仍在搜索探测到水下噪音的区域，并将持续在该区域搜救。”A French robot that can dive to 6,000 meters has been dispatched【派遣】 to help locate the tourist submersible. Teams from the United States, Canada and France have searched more than 25,900 square kilometers of open sea by air, an area roughly the size of Lebanon, or the state of Massachusetts.一台能够潜至6000米深的法国深海水下机器人已被派遣协助寻找失踪的潜水器。来自美国、加拿大和法国的搜救团队已经通过空中搜寻的方式搜索了25900多平方公里的海域，这个面积大约相当于黎巴嫩或马萨诸塞州的大小。Jeffrey Karson, Marine Geologist卡森   海洋地质学家“There are many pieces of the stern, the bow of the Titanic and all sorts of pieces that fell off during that wreck. That’s one of the problems in trying to find the submersible on the sea floor. probably only one ROV can be used at a time because of the danger of entangling the long cables that are attached to them.”“‘泰坦尼克’号的船尾和船头有很多碎片，沉船过程中各种碎片脱落，这是试图在海底找到潜水器的阻碍之一。而且每次可能只能派遣一个遥控潜水器，因为连接在潜水器上面的长电缆有缠绕的危险。”In 2018, OceanGate Expeditions’ former director of marine operations David Lochridge alleged in a lawsuit that he had been fired after raising concerns about the company's "experimental and untested design" of the craft.早在2018年，海洋之门集团（OceanGate Expeditions）的前海洋营运总监洛奇里奇（David Lochridge）曾在诉讼中声称，他因对公司的“实验性和未经测试的设计”提出担忧而被解雇。Will Kohnen, Chairman ofU.S. Marine Technology Society's Committee克宁   美国海洋技术协会载人潜水器委员会主席“There are only 10 vehicles in the whole world that can go 4,000 meters or deeper and all of them are certified - except the Titan. So, it is an outlier. It was not certified, so it had no oversight during design, fabrication and testing.”“全球只有十艘潜水器可以下潜到4000米甚至更深，除了‘泰坦’号 其他都经过了认证。‘泰坦’是一个例外，它没有经过认证，就意味着在设计、制造和测试过程中无人监督。”The 6.7-meter-long submersible began its descent on Sunday.  It set off with 96 hours of air, according to the company, which would mean the oxygen could run out by Thursday morning.这艘长达6.7米的潜水器于上周日开始下潜。根据公司的说法，它携带的氧气仅能维持96小时，这意味着氧气会在周四早上用尽。#热词加油站decarbonize/ˌdiːˈkɑːbənaɪz/【脱碳】inauguration/ɪˌnɔːɡjəˈreɪʃn/【开创】dispatched/dɪˈspætʃ/【派遣】entangle/ɪnˈtæŋɡ(ə)l/【缠住】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

Shanghai railway authorities said about 500,000 people will leave the city today. They expect even more to leave tomorrow. An extra 108 bullet trains have been scheduled today and tomorrow to popular destinations like Zhengzhou, Hangzhou and Nanchang.今天（6月21日）上海的火车站和高速公路就已经非常繁忙，因为许多人提前开启了端午假期。上海铁路部门表示，今日将有约50万人离沪，预计明天离沪人数会更多。今明两日共增开108趟动车前往郑州、杭州和南昌等热门目的地。Yang Junhua, Manager on Duty of Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station杨骏华铁路虹桥站值班站长“车站是适时地增开了67趟不同方向的临客，主要的方向集中在江西、中原、沪宁、沪杭、安徽以及苏北方向。”“The station added 67 passenger trains in different directions, mainly to Jiangxi, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Anhui.”During the festival, more than 4.2 million vehicles will use expressways in Shanghai, a 22% increase over the same period in 2019.端午期间，高速公路网车流规模将达420万辆次，比2019年同期增加了22%。The China Tourism Academy estimated more than 100 million people in the country will travel during the Dragon Boat Festival, surpassing【超过】 the level of 2019. The three-day festival is expected to see many opt【选择】for short getaways. The average price of hotel rooms and domestic flights on many travel agency websites are lower than that of the May Day holiday.中国旅游研究院估计，端午节期间全国将有超1亿人出行，超过了2019年的水平。为期三天的端午小长假将以短途旅游为主。许多旅行网站上酒店和国内航班的均价均低于五一假期。Xiong Jie, China Eastern Airlines熊杰东航地面服务部虹桥旅客服务中心高级经理“今年端午节的客流量较往年来说已经增加了3.6倍,预定票量已经达到了94万左右。关于一些热门的航线主要有北京、西安、青岛、兰州、武汉等等热门航线，主要是家庭旅客是居多的。”“During this holiday, passengers are expected to increase 3.6 times compared to previous years.

Rescuers have been racing against the clock as the under-sea vessel【船舰】could run-out of oxygen as early as tomorrow morning. Stephen Rancourt has more.加拿大军用侦察机在寻找于北大西洋海域失踪的潜水器“泰坦号”时发现了水下声音。失联潜水器的氧气将于明早即将耗尽，搜救人员正在与时间赛跑。本台记者Stephen Rancourt带来详细报道。In underwater disasters, submariners unable to communicate with the surface will resort to banging on their vessel's hull in an effort to be detected by sonar. However, no official has publicly suggested that's the case, and noises underwater can come from a variety of sources.在水下灾难中，无法与水面通信的船员将通过敲击潜水器的船体来试图被声纳探测到。然而，目前尚未有任何官员公开表示水下噪音为船员敲击船体声音，水下噪音可能有多种来源。Questions remain about how teams would reach the Titan, which could be as deep as 12,500 feet below the surface near the wreck of the Titanic.与此同时，关于如何接近失联的“泰坦号”潜水器仍存在疑问，该潜水器可能位于距深达海面以下约 12,500 英尺（3,800 米）的泰坦尼克号残骸附近。Newly uncovered allegations【指控】 also suggest there had been significant warnings made about the submersible’s safety during its development.此外，一些最新公开的说法表明，该潜水器在研发过程中曾被曝存在严重安全问题。The crew aboard the Titan are Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate, the company leading the expedition【考察】, Rush is said to be piloting the submersible. His passengers include a British adventurer, a Pakistani billionaire and his son, and a Deep-Sea dive specialist and Titanic expert from France.搭乘泰坦号的船员包括海洋之门（OceanGate）公司的首席执行官斯托克顿·拉什（Stockton Rush），据报道拉什任该潜水器的驾驶员。他的乘客包括一位英国冒险家、一位巴基斯坦亿万富翁及其儿子，以及一位来自法国的深海潜水专家和泰坦尼克号专家。Seven vessels from the US Coast Guard, the US Navy, the Canadian Coast Guard and OceanGate Expeditions are continuing to scour the North Atlantic.目前，美国海岸警卫队、美国海军、加拿大海岸警卫队和海洋之门公司的七艘船只仍在北大西洋进行搜寻。Captain Jamie Frederick, Response Coordinator for Rescue Efforts弗雷德里克救援行动响应协调员“Today, the vessel Deep Energy, 194-meter pipelay vessel arrived on scene with underwater ROV capability. They have rendezvoused with the vessel Polar Prince and commenced an ROV dive That operation is currently ongoing.”“今天，一艘194米长的铺管船已抵达救援现场，它具有遥控无人潜水器功能。目前该船已与‘极地王子’号汇合，开始部署潜水探测。该行动仍在进行中。”The Canadian military said it provided a patrol aircraft and two surface ships, including one that specializes in dive medicine. It also dropped sonar buoys to listen for any sounds from the Titan.据加拿大军方表示，他们派遣了一架巡逻机和两艘水面舰艇参与搜救行动，其中包括一艘专门用于潜水医疗的舰艇。他们还投放了声纳浮标，以侦听来自泰坦号的任何声音。Mike Reiss, a writer and producer for the Simpsons, detailed his time as a passenger aboard Titan, which he called a “Zen-like” experience.《辛普森一家》的编剧和制片人迈克·里斯详细描述了他作为泰坦号潜水器的乘客的经历，他称之为一种“宁静至极”体验。Mike Reiss,Producer for the Simpsons Sitcom迈克·里斯《辛普森一家》制片人“One end is the porthole, and the porthole is only the size of the window on a small washing machine. That's your only place you gonna see it. So that was it. It was five of us in that space for 10 hours.”“墙面的一侧还有个舷窗，只有洗衣机上的窗口那么大，你只能透过那看到外面，就这样。我们五个人就在那里面坐了十个小时。”The submersible had a 96-hour oxygen supply when it put to sea around 6 a.m. Sunday, according to David Concannon, an adviser to OceanGate Expeditions, which oversaw the mission. That means the oxygen supply could run out as early as Thursday morning.“海洋之门”公司顾问戴维·康坎农（David Concannon）表示，“泰坦”号潜水器在周日上午6点出海时携带的的氧气供应仅可持续96小时，这就意味着该潜水器的氧气将在北京时间6月22日晚间耗尽。The expedition was OceanGate’s third annual voyage to chronicle the deterioration of Titanic, which struck an iceberg and sank in 1912, killing all but about 700 of the roughly 2,200 passengers and crew.这次探险是海洋之门公司的第三次年度航行，旨在记录泰坦尼克号的腐蚀情况。泰坦尼克号在1912年撞上冰山后沉没，2200名乘客和船员中，只有大约700人幸存。The lost tourist submersible went missing for over two hours on expedition last year, with a journalist who was on board saying that there’s no backup, there’s no escape pod, it's get to the surface or die.这艘潜水器在去年的考察中也曾失踪超过两个小时，一名当时在潜水器中的记者称，舱内没有备用设备，也没有逃生舱，要么回到水面，要么就会丧生。#热词加油站turbulent/ˈtɜːbjələnt/【动乱的】vigorously /ˈvɪɡərəsli/【有力地】surpass/səˈpɑːs/【超过】opt/ɒpt/【选择】vessel /ˈves(ə)l/【船舰】allegation/ˌæləˈɡeɪʃn/【指控】expedition/ˌekspəˈdɪʃ(ə)n/【考察】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

NEWS ON 06/201.SMPC STANDING COMMITTEE PASSESWILDLIFE PROTECTION REGULATIONS上海市人大常委会会议表决通过野生动物保护条例2.CENTRAL BANK CUTS KEY LOAN RATESIN DRIVE TO SUPPORT ECONOMY央行年内首次下调LPR利率 进一步提振实体经济资金需求3.SUBMARINE EXPLORING TITANIC WRECK MISSING, RESCUE EFFORT UNDER WAY一艘泰坦尼克号旅游潜艇失踪，救援行动正在进行中----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1.SMPC STANDING COMMITTEE PASSESWILDLIFE PROTECTION REGULATIONS上海市人大常委会会议表决通过野生动物保护条例The Standing Committee of Shanghai Municipal People's Congress adopted regulations on wildlife protection in Shanghai. The document stipulates that a patrol【巡逻】 mechanism be established and includes detailed rules for the restoration and management of natural habitats. Zhang Hong tells us more.  上海市人大常委会表决通过《上海市野生动物保护条例》。该文件规定建立巡逻机制，并包括恢复和管理自然栖息地的详细规则。记者张泓带来更多报道。Strengthening patrols of natural habitats during migration peaks is one of the highlights of the newly passed regulations. Earlier this year, a black-throated loon was found dead in Century Park, Pudong. It had an oil stain from its neck to its stomach. The bird usually lives in Siberia and only passes through Shanghai in winter. The news triggered discussions on how to protect migratory birds.在迁徙高峰期间加强对自然栖息地的巡逻是此次立法的一大亮点。此前，在上海市浦东新区世纪公园内，一只颈部到腹部沾染大片油污的黑喉潜鸟被发现死亡。这种鸟通常生活在西伯利亚，只在冬季经过上海。这一消息引发了关于如何保护候鸟的讨论。Yan Rui, Legislative Affairs Commission,SMPC Standing Committee阎锐 上海市人大常委会法工委主任 “本市处于候鸟迁徙通道的重要中转点。经研究，我们决定在条例草案第29条增加相关内容，规定野生动物保护主管部门和其它有关部门应当在候鸟迁徙高峰期，加强对候鸟迁徙停歇地和越冬地等重要区域的巡护。”“Shanghai is an important stop for migratory birds. After completing some research, we decided to add content to Article 29 of the draft regulations. The new wording stipulates【规定】that wildlife protection departments should strengthen patrols at stopover sites and wintering grounds during migration peaks.”Another highlight is that a special chapter has been included for the protection of wildlife and their habitats. Shanghai has 22 habitats for wildlife. The new regulations detailed the restoration, preservation and management of these habitats. The document also set up rules for the rescue and care of wildlife.此次立法的另一个亮点是专门设立了保护野生动物及其栖息地的章节。上海有22个野生动物栖息地。新条例详细规定了这些栖息地的恢复、保护和管理。该文件还制定了救助和保护野生动物的规则。Gu Xiaojun, Deputy Director ofShanghai Landscaping & City Appearance Administrative Bureau顾晓君 市绿化和市容管理局副局长“比如说松江区叶谢镇一直在努力保护中华水鹿。条例出台以后，从法治层面上进行了很好的保障。”“For example, Yexie Town in Songjiang District has been making efforts to protect Chinese water deer. The new regulations provide a better legislative【立法的】 basis for the protection.”The regulations will come into effect in October.该条例将于10月起实施。2.CENTRAL BANK CUTS KEY LOAN RATESIN DRIVE TO SUPPORT ECONOMY央行年内首次下调LPR利率 进一步提振实体经济资金需求Benchmark lending rates were lowered today with both the one-year and five-year rates moving down 10 basis points, marking their first decrease in 10 months. The lower Loan Prime Rates together with new equity financing policies that have taken effect recently are expected to provide improved stimulus to the real estate market. Lei Shuran has more.基准贷款利率今日（06/20）下调，一年期和五年期贷利率均下调10个基点，这是10个月来的首次下调。贷款市场报价利率（LPR）的降低，加上最近生效的股权融资新政策，预计将为房地产市场提供刺激。记者雷淑然带来报道。The People's Bank of China today cut the one-year LPR to 3.55 percent and the over five-year LPR down to 4.2 percent. The 10 basis-point reductions means mortgage borrowers will be able to apply for a loan with lower costs. For example, someone applying for a 3 million yuan loan for a second-hand home in Shanghai will see the interest rate dropping to 5.25%, meaning a reduction of over 40,000 yuan in overall interest payments. To ensure that customers can take advantage of the mortgage rate reductions, many banks temporarily suspended loan releases today, and will resume them tomorrow at the new rates. Industry analysts say the cuts were needed.中国人民银行今天（06/20）将一年期LPR降至3.55%，五年期以上LPR降至4.2%。下调10个基点意味着抵押贷款借款人将能够以更低的成本申请贷款。例如，在上海申请300万元贷款购买二手房，利率将降至5.25%，这意味着总利息将减少4万多元。为了确保客户能够享受到抵押贷款利率下调的利好，许多银行今天（06/20）暂停发放贷款，并将在明天（06/21）以新的利率恢复发放。业内分析人士表示，这些削减措施是必要的。Du Haomin, Sinolink Securities Company, Real Estate Industry Analyst杜浩民 国金证券房地产行业分析师“我们看到其实1到5月份以来，数据并不是那么理想，稳住销售实际上也是稳住企业的发展。”“Performance was not ideal beginning in January and extending into May, especially on the sales side. Stabilizing sales is the key to stabilizing the development of the industry.”At the end of last year, China's top securities regulator began allowing property companies to resume refinancing and mergers and acquisitions after a 12-year suspension. As of mid-June the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges have approved six real estate companies' refinancing plans, aiming to raise a total of more than 40 billion yuan. Market analysts say together with today's LPR cut, these measures should help ensure stable development of the real estate market.去年年底，中国最高证券监管机构允许房地产公司在暂停12年后恢复再融资和并购。截至6月中旬，上海和深圳证券交易所已经批准了六家房地产公司的再融资计划，旨在筹集总额超过400亿元的资金。市场分析人员表示，加上今天（06/20）的降准，这些措施将有助于确保房地产市场的稳定发展。Du Haomin, Sinolink Securities Company, Real Estate Industry Analyst杜浩民 国金证券房地产行业分析师“一个是供给端，一个是需求端。供给端是为了帮助企业去获得一个更好的资金发展支持，企业发展最终需要通过的是销售端，所以两端共同助力才能助力房地产业的发展。”“Supportive measures from both the supply and the demand sides can help companies ensure better financial support for their development. If there is a significant growth on the sales end, that then will be the ultimate solution for the growth of the companies.”After seeing a rebound in the first quarter, the property market slowed further in May. The latest government figures showed a fall in sales by floor area of 0.9 percent year-on-year in the first five months, more than double the 0.4 percent figure for the first four months. That was the first time this year that the pace of decline had increased.  在经历第一季度的反弹后，房地产市场在5月份进一步放缓。最新的政府数据显示，前五个月房屋销售面积同比下降0.9%，比前四个月的0.4%高出一倍多。这是今年以来首次出现下降速度加快的情况。3.SUBMARINE EXPLORING TITANIC WRECK MISSING, RESCUE EFFORT UNDER WAY一艘泰坦尼克号旅游潜艇失踪，救援行动正在进行中A small sub-marine operated by a private company that runs tour to the wreckage of the Titanic has gone missing off the coast of eastern Canada. The US Coast Guard and Canadian defense ministry are searching for the small craft. Stephen Rancourt has more.一艘由私营公司运营的参观"泰坦尼克号”水下残骸的小型潜水艇在加拿大东部海岸失踪。美国海岸警卫队和加拿大国防部正在全力搜寻。记者Stephen Rancourt带来更多报道。OceanGate Expeditions said in a statement on Monday that it was "mobilizing all options" to rescue those aboard the underwater vessel, which typically has five people on board.海洋之门勘探公司周一在一份声明中表示，它正在“动用一切手段”营救船上人员。这艘船可容纳5人。British billionaire Hamish Harding is among the passengers, according to a social media post from a relative.英国亿万富翁哈米什·哈丁的一位亲属在社交媒体上发帖称，哈米什·哈丁是这艘潜水器乘客之一。The US Coast Guard said on Twitter that a boat on the surface, the Polar Prince, lost contact with the submersible about an hour and 45 minutes after it began diving toward the wreckage site on Sunday morning.美国海岸警卫队在推特上表示，这艘潜艇在周日早上开始向泰坦尼克号残骸地点潜水大约一小时四十五分钟后，与水面上的船“极地王子号”失去了联系。US and Canadian authorities have launched a search-and-rescue operation, including aerial and surface searches, according to statements from the US Coast Guard and Canada's defense ministry.根据美国海岸警卫队和加拿大国防部的声明，美国和加拿大当局已经展开搜救行动，包括空中和水面搜索。Rear Admiral John Mauger,United States Coast Guard约翰·毛格 美国海岸警卫队海军少将“It is a remote area and it is a challenge to conduct a search in that remote area. But we are deploying all available assets to make sure that we can locate the craft and rescue the people on board.”“这是一处偏远海域，在这个区域搜救是个挑战。我们正在部署一切可用资源，确保找到潜水器、营救乘客。”The expeditions, which cost 250,000 U.S. dollars per person, start in St. John's, Newfoundland, before heading out approximately 640 kilometers into the Atlantic to the wreckage site. In order to visit the wreck, passengers climb inside Titan, a five-person submarine【潜水艇】, which takes two hours to descend the approximately 3,800 meters to the Titanic.该探险活动向每名乘客收取25万美元，从纽芬兰的圣约翰斯出发，前往大约640公里外的大西洋泰坦尼克号残骸现场。为了参观沉船，乘客们爬进这艘名为“泰坦”的五人潜水艇，需要两个小时才能下降到约3800米深的海底观赏泰坦尼克号残骸。The British passenger ship famously sank in 1912 on its maiden voyage after hitting an iceberg, killing more than 1,500 people.泰坦尼克号是一艘英国豪华客轮，在1912年的首航中撞上冰山沉没，造成1500多人死亡。#热词加油站patrol/pəˈtroʊl/【巡逻】stipulate/ˈstɪpjuleɪt/【规定】legislative/ˈledʒɪsleɪtɪv/【立法的】submarine/ˌsʌbməˈriːn/【潜水艇】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

He said he hopes Blinken's visit will lead to more positive contributions to stabilizing China-US relations.习近平强调，相互尊重和信任是国与国应有的相处之道，希望布林肯通过这次访问，能为稳定中美关系做出积极贡献。Earlier today, Wang Yi, director of the Office of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the CPC Central Committee, also spoke with Blinken.此前，中央外事工作委员会办公室主任王毅也同布林肯举行了会晤。Wang said Blinken's trip comes at a critical juncture of China-US relations and a choice needs to be made between dialogue and confrontation【对抗】. Wang called on the two sides to work together to reverse the downward spiral of bilateral relations.王毅表示，布林肯访华正值中美关系紧张的关键节点，现在必须就友好合作还是冲突、对话还是继续对抗作出选择。并呼吁双方共同努力，扭转双边关系的螺旋式下滑。He reiterated that China will never follow the beaten track of big powers in seeking hegemony, urging the United States not to misjudge China with a trajectory taken by the traditional Western powers. He said this is the key to whether the US government's policy towards China can truly return to a rational approach. Wang also asked the United States to stop hyping up China's threat, lift illegal unilateral sanctions against China, stop its suppression【打压】 of its scientific and technological development, and refrain from interfering in China's internal affairs.王毅强调，中国不会走国强必霸的道路，敦促美方不要用西方传统大国走过的轨迹来误判中国。他表示，这是美方对华政策能否真正回归理性的关键。王毅还要求美方停止炒作“中国威胁论”，取消对华非法单边制裁，放弃对中国科技发展的打压，不得肆意干涉中国的内政。Blinken said the United States is committed to returning to the agenda set by the two heads of state at their meeting in Bali last year, and looks forward to strengthening communication with China, managing differences responsibly and cooperating in areas of mutual interest.布林肯介绍了美方看法，表示美方致力于重回两国元首巴厘岛会晤确定的议程，期待同中方加强沟通，负责任管控分歧，在双方有共同利益的领域开展合作。Yesterday, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Qin Gang held talks with Blinken.

During this year's Peace Arts and Culture Week, a new version of the documentary, created with the help of an artificial intelligence will make its premiere.“老爵士乐队”在和平饭店的中庭演奏着20世纪40年代的音乐。这些资深音乐家的平均年龄为82岁，是世界上最年长的在职爵士乐队。他们在德国导演乌利·高尔克的纪录片《上海老爵士》中亮相。今年“和平文化艺术周”期间，在人工智能帮助下制作的新版纪录片将进行首映。George Wee, General ManagerFairmont Peace Hotel和平饭店总经理“Absolutely, music and art, it can form a bridge. so If you then invite technology and artificial Intelligence into it, I think the younger generation will be comfortable and they will embrace it. The older generation would say oh that's cool. I didn't know. It can be done like this. So this year is really special and for us we thought we should jump on this opportunity to make this famous hotel, the peace hotel which is almost 100 years old, to make it relevant to to new younger audiences as well.”“当然，音乐和艺术可以形成一座桥梁。如果把技术和人工智能引入其中，我想年轻一代会很喜欢并乐于接受它们。老一辈可能会认为，‘这太酷了’‘我不知道’‘还可以这样做’等等。今年真的很特别，我们应该抓住这个机会，让这家有着近百年历史的著名和平酒店与新的年轻观众联系起来。”One of the paintings by Chinese artist Bei Jiaxiang was also regenerated by an artificial intelligence. After decades of experience in Australia, Bei Jiaxiang's art is still deeply rooted in the regional culture of Shanghai.

I hope the unique soul of the city of Shanghai can collide【碰撞】 in my paintings. I think Shanghai kept some of its style and features from the 1980s while growing.”Built in 1929, the Fairmont Peace Hotel was acclaimed as the "Number One Mansion in the Far East". The hotel plans to provide more activities related to arts and AI during the festival, in cooperation with the Tongji University College of Design and Innovation.费尔蒙和平饭店建于1929年，被誉为“远东第一楼”。酒店计划在艺术节期间与同济大学设计与创新学院合作，推出更多与艺术和人工智能有关的活动。#热词加油站confrontation/ˌkɑːnfrənˈteɪʃn/【对抗】suppression/səˈpreʃ(ə)n/【打压】renovation/ˌrenəˈveɪʃ(ə)n/【翻新】collide/kəˈlaɪd/【碰撞】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟～

MACAU HIGH-TECH EXPO LOOKS BEYOND THE GREATER BAY AREA大湾区雄起！澳门举办国际科技创新博览会As an emerging center of the global economy, the Asia-Pacific region is now hosting an international tech event that displays its most cutting-edge technologies to the outside world, hoping to attract more investment and partnerships from the international market. The first Beyond Expo is now being held in the Macau Special Administrative Region, and Zhang Shixuan has been finding out how companies from the mainland and Macao are doing at their new showcase event.作为正在崛起的全球经济新中心，亚太地区正在举办一场国际科技盛会，向外界展示其最尖端的技术，希望吸引更多的国际市场投资和合作。第一届BEYOND国际科技创新博览会正在中国澳门特别行政区举行，来自内地和澳门的企业表现如何，请听记者张诗璇从现场带回的报道。Following your every tiny gesture, the robot can imitate your every move, thanks to the complete software development kit from tech giant SenseTime. Robots like this one are now the focus of teaching projects in some schools, where students can learn to program them. By bringing its increasingly mature【成熟的】AI education system to the Beyond Expo in Macao, the company has signed deals with the University of Macao and a local middle school to help them better develop the AI profession in the region. But it has ambitions beyond just that. 科技巨头——商汤科技研发了一套完整的软件开发工具包，使得这款机器人可以跟踪你的每一个微小手势，模仿你的每一个动作。这样的机器人是不少学校关注的对象，一些教学项目中会引进机器人来帮助学生们学习编程。商汤科技在BEYOND国际科技创新博览会展出了其日益成熟的人工智能教育系统，并与澳门大学以及当地一所中学成功签署了合作协议，以帮助提升该区域的人工智能专业发展。但它的雄心远不止于此。Shang Hailong / General Manager, SenseTime Hong Kong  In 2019, there were around 30 million people traveling to Macao. This is a very good opportunity for SenseTime. Because we provide a lot of AI features like the Metaverse【元宇宙】 features to help the tourists to enhance their experience in Macao.2018 年，到澳门旅游的人数大约有3000万。这对商汤来说是一个非常好的机会。因为我们提供了很多人工智能功能，比如“元宇宙”，帮助游客提升他们在澳门的体验。The firm unveiled its new Macau subsidiary on the first day of the expo, when it also signed an agreement with the Nam Kwong Company to promote the construction of a smart city. The expo is proving to be a vital one especially for companies based in the Greater Bay Area.在展会的第一天，该公司宣布在澳门开设新子公司，同时它还与南光公司签署了一项协议，以促进智慧城市的建设。BEYOND国际科技创新博览会的重要性不言而喻，尤其是对总部设在大湾区的企业而言。The market here is so promising that some companies have come all the way from the Yangzte River Delta Region to attend the expo. Shanghai-based chip【芯片】giant Corigine is showcasing its smart network interface card product. The system can help cloud service providers enhance efficiency while dealing with large amounts of information.看好当地市场，一些公司从长三角地区远道而来参加展会。上海芯片巨头——芯启源展示了其智能网络接口卡产品。该系统可以帮助云服务提供商在处理大量信息的同时提高效率。Qiu YeminSales / Director, CorigineWe like to merge and combine these things together for the innovation to the next level. 我们希望可以通过这样一种聚合效应，把创新提升到一个新的水平。Zhang Shixuan / ICS ReporterIndeed, the Greater Bay Area【大湾区】has a very vibrant innovative economy, with more than 40,000 national-level high tech enterprises and universities in the world’s top 100 bracket. They have strong tech innovation capabilities and so, helping them realize their new ideas in tech industries is a huge opportunity. Stronger connections with the Greater Bay Area could provide big advantages for everyone.大湾区的创新经济活力十足，4万多家国家级高新技术企业和大学进入世界百强。他们拥有强大的技术创新能力，因此，帮助他们在科技行业实现新想法是一个巨大的机会。加强与大湾区的联系，可以为每个人提供巨大的优势。2. RARE CHANCE TO GAZE UPON IRANIAN MINIATURE PAINTINGS庆祝中伊建交50周年！波斯珍品细密画千里奔“沪”About 100 Persian miniature paintings【波斯细密画】will be showcased to the public at Shanghai Art Collection Museum in Changning District beginning tomorrow. The pieces belong to different museums in Iran and are being exhibited in Shanghai as part of celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral relations between China and Iran. Reporter Zhang Hong takes a peak.12月4日起，约100幅波斯细密画将在长宁区上海市艺术品博物馆向公众展出。作为纪念中伊建交50周年的庆祝活动，本次展览汇集了伊朗多家博物馆的一众珍品。Persian miniatures usually refer to small paintings on paper, but over time artists started using boxes. It is a courtly art with exquisite colors and meticulous attention to detail. The style reached its apex【顶点】from the 13th to 16th centuries and was mainly a form of illustration. One of the examples is the illustrations in Shahnameh, or "The Book of Kings", an epic poem written by Ferdowsi. One of the exhibition’s co-organizers says artists started to depict the scenes in the book as the book itself was very important.波斯细密画通常是指在纸上的小幅画作，但随着时间的推移，艺术家们开始使用盒子进行创作。波斯细密画是一种宫廷艺术，色彩精美，细节精湛。 这种艺术风格在 13 至 16 世纪达到鼎盛，当时多是以插图的形式。 比如《列王纪》中的插图就是波斯细密画。《列王纪》由波斯诗圣菲尔多西所作。Organizers say this is the first exhibition of Iranian miniatures in China. And they think it’s a good way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of relations between the countries.主办方称，这是波斯细密画首次在中国展出， 也是庆祝两国建交50周年的献礼。 Hossein Bordbar / Bordbar CollectionWe work on this concept of miniatures over a year ago. It takes about 3 months to choose the work and about 2 months for us to bring it to China. We’re sure that people in China love different kinds of art. And when we see how connected we were in old and ancient time together. We have a room to think what we should do today better than what has happened in the past.一年多以前，我们就有了展出的想法。我们花了约3个月的时间选择作品，并历时2个月把这些珍品带到中国。 我们坚信中国人喜爱不同种类的艺术。 当我们意识到其中的联系，才能够比过去做得更好。The exhibition is free and will run until February 27th.此次展览免费向公众开放，持续至2月27日。3.CNN Comments on Beijing’s “Covid-free Olympic Bubble”“防新冠，北京有结界！ ”CNN评北京冬奥防疫措施The countdown to the 2022 Winter Olympics has begun. But how are the preparations coming along? On November 3rd, CNN reported on the status of Beijing's 2022 Olympic Games in an article called “More than 1 million people apply to enter Beijing's Covid-free Olympic bubble”.2022年冬奥会开始倒计时。但是准备工作进行得怎么样了?11月3日，美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)在一篇题为《超过100万人申请进入北京“零冠结界”》的文章中，对北京2022年奥运会的状况进行了报道。The article stated that more than 1 million people have applied for unpaid volunteer positions at the Beijing Games, and indicated that the flood of applicants reflects the excitement sweeping【席卷】across China. 文章称，已经有超过100万人申请了北京奥运会的志愿者岗位。文章还指出，大量的申请反映了席卷中国的兴奋情绪。The article then mentioned how 80,000 people initially signed up to volunteer for the Tokyo Olympic Games earlier this year, and how at least 10,000 had quit before mid-June, mostly over Covid concerns. As athletes gathered in the Japanese capital from July to August, daily new cases spiked and Tokyo was placed under a state of emergency.文章随后提到，今年早些时候，有8万人报名参加了东京奥运会，到6月中旬，至少有1万人因为对新冠肺炎的担忧而退出了。从7月到8月，随着运动员聚集在日本首都，每天的新病例激增，东京处于紧急状态。Unlike the delay in the vaccine rollout in Japan, China rolled out its inoculation program with remarkable speed and efficiency. According to the country's National Health Commission, by November 2nd more than 2.2 billion doses had been administered on the Chinese Mainland. Olympics organizers will hold the Games in what's been billed as a "Covid-safe bubble" around Beijing, intended to separate athletes and participants from local residents.与日本推迟接种疫苗不同，中国以惊人的速度和效率推出了接种计划。根据中国国家卫生健康委员会的数据，截至11月2日，中国大陆已经使用了超过22亿剂疫苗。组织者将在拥有“零冠结界”之称的北京周边地区举办奥运会，目的是将运动员和参与者与当地居民隔离开来。Having witnessed the steady progress in the preparations for Beijing Winter Olympic Games, many people overseas are looking forward to the event.  在目睹了北京冬奥会筹备工作的稳步进展后，许多海外人士都在期待这项赛事。#热词加油站mature【成熟的】[məˈtʃʊə(r); məˈtjʊə(r)]Metaverse【元宇宙】 [ˈmetəvɜːs]chip【芯片】[tʃɪp]apex【顶点】[ˈeɪpeks]sweeping【席卷】[ˈswiːpɪŋ] the Greater Bay Area【大湾区】Persian miniature paintings【波斯细密画】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Some said they wanted to find out more details.从今日开始（12月1日），上海市学生事务中心开始接收来自毕业生们的落户申请。同时，有同学表示自己还想了解更多相关的具体信息。Ms. WangFresh Master Degree Graduate of Shanghai University王同学 上海大学应届硕士毕业生I want to know whether I will be eligible【有资格的】for a hukou if I quit the job I started after graduation and take another job at a different company in one of the five new cities.就想知道如果一家公司，我在毕业之后找了一家公司，但是我辞职了，然后我在12月份入职一家五个新城的公司，能不能符合落户条件。Ms. Li said she wanted to find a job in one of the five new cities because of the policy.无独有偶，因为新政落地，李同学也打算将求职企业所在地转向"五大新城"区域。Ms. LiFresh Master Degree Graduate of Shanghai University李同学 上海大学应届硕士毕业生I was not eligible for permanent residence in Shanghai, so I wasn’t thinking about applying at all. But now with the new policy, I want to find a job here.本来我们是不满足条件落户的，也没想着去落户，突然这个政策出来了，觉得可以试一下，看看如果那边有合适工作的话，就可以趁这个政策，申请一下。In June, the government issued basic requirements for these graduates applying for a Shanghai hukou. One of them stipulates【规定】that the company the graduate works for should have registered capital of at least 1 million yuan.今年六月份，政府颁布了应届毕业生在上海落户的基本条件，其中有一条规定，应届毕业生工作的企业注册资金额度需要超过一百万元。Ms. YuanFresh Master Degree Graduates of Shanghai Normal University袁同学 上海师范大学应届硕士毕业生I work for a small law firm with only a few employees. It doesn’t have registered capital of 1 million yuan. I don’t know if the previous requirements will still be applied to the new rules.我们是一个律师事务所，只有几个人，其实根本就不用注册资金的。这里规定100万，没有那么多的硬性支出，所以这个就不太符合。我也不太清楚，是因为没有出新的政策还是沿用之前的。Applications should be submitted to the Shanghai Center for Student Affairs by the end of this month. The policy was introduced to attract high-quality individuals to the five new cities in Jiading, Qingpu, Songjiang and Fengxian, as well as Nanhui of Pudong New Area. In the past, students from elsewhere on the mainland who wished to settle in the city needed to accumulate 72 credit points. They were awarded based on factors such as education and chosen industry.应届毕业生的落户申请必须于本月底之前提交至上海市学生事务中心。落户新政的实施将对嘉定、青浦、松江、奉贤、以及南汇等五大新城提高对高端人才的吸引力提供帮助。在这之前，非上海户籍的学生想要落户上海，必须要积72分，而这72分的获取则取决于个人的教育背景以及毕业后所选择的职业方向等。2. DISABLED SPECTATORS INVITED TO SYMPHONY CONCERT被音乐拥抱 两百多位残障人士被邀请进入交响乐厅More than 200 disabled people were invited to attend a concert last night as guests of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and Xuhui District Disabled Person’s Federation.在上海交响乐团和徐汇残联的共同邀请下，200多位残疾人来到了上交音乐厅观赏音乐。71-year-old Mr. Shi went to a concert for the first time in his life with the help of volunteers.对于71岁的施老伯来说，得益于志愿者们的帮助，他第一次来到了音乐厅现场观看音乐会。Mr. Shi施老伯I have trouble walking, but they had people to help me. It was the first time I enjoyed a performance at a concert hall.市民解决我们的困难，我们最大的困难就是行走不方便，都照顾到了，面面俱到了。The volunteer team, which was set up by the orchestra in November, helped Shi and the others with their health code, real-name authentication and tickets. The symphony hall was designed with disabled groups in mind as it features gentle slopes【坡】, elevators and areas set aside for wheelchairs.上交志愿者团队于今年十一月份首次组建。在这次特别为残障人士举办的音乐会上，他们在很多方面都为残障人士提供了帮助，如健康码的打开展示，实名认证的进行以及票件的获取等。同时，为了方便残障人士在室内的移动，交响乐厅还专门进行了改造，加装了缓坡，电梯以及轮椅放置区等无障碍设施。Zhou PingPresident, Shanghai Symphony Orchestra周平 上海交响乐团团长We haven’t made such big use of the accessibility facilities like today since the symphony hall opened in 2014. This event helped us evaluate our services, and learn what spectators experience here. As a cultural metropolis, Shanghai should provide more services for special groups to enjoy cultural events.我们在新厅建完以后还没有这么大规模使用过（无障碍设施），不管是设施还是服务意识，包括观众的意识都应该有一次这样的检验。同时我们也是想说上海这样的文化大都市，应该让更多人共同来分享这样的文化设施。The intermission was extended from 15 to 20 minutes last night out of consideration for the disabled spectators. The event was also used to mark the International Day of Disabled Persons, which falls on Friday. There were about 600,000 disabled people in the city at the end of 2020.在昨晚（11月30日）的演出中，因考虑到残障人士们的需要，幕间休息被延长至20分钟，同时，此项演出还纪念了周五的国际残疾人日。截至2020年底，全上海共有残障人士达60万人。3. WORLD’S FIRST BIOLOGICAL ROBOTS CAN NOW REPRODUCE全球首个活体机器人，会自我繁衍了！The U.S. scientists who created the world’s first computer-designed biological robots said yesterday that the life forms, known as "xenobots" can now reproduce【繁殖】.昨天（11月30日），创造了世界上第一个由计算机设计的活体机器人的美国科学家们表示，这种被称为 "异种机器人 "的生命形态现在可以进行自我复制。Formed from the stem cells of the African clawed frog, xenobots are less than one millimeter wide. The tiny robots were first unveiled last year after experiments showed that they could move, work together in groups and heal themselves.这些异形机器人们于去年正式亮相，它们脱胎于非洲爪蛙的干细胞，直径不足1毫米，具有移动、合作、以及自我修复的能力。BongardResearcher, Professor, Department of Computer Science, University of Vermont邦加德 项目研究员、美国佛蒙特大学机器人学教授The cells in the pile will adhere and stick to one another. And over about five days, if the pile is big enough, it will also sprout these small hairs, these small cilia, and the pile itself will start moving. And that’s a quote unquote "child Xenobot".成堆的干细胞会相互吸附粘连，大约五天后，如果细胞堆足够大，它们会和母体一样长出纤毛“脚”，变成异形机器人“宝宝”。The scientists that developed them at the US University of Vermont, Tufts University and Harvard University said they have discovered an entirely new form of biological reproduction different from any animal or plant.来自美国佛蒙特大学、塔夫茨大学和哈佛大学的研究人员们表示，他们已经发现了一种全新的，异于任何一种动物或植物的繁殖方式。BongardResearcher, Professor, Department of Computer Science, University of Vermont邦加德 项目研究员、美国佛蒙特大学机器人学教授They can get into places that more traditional robots couldn’t get into. They’re biodegradable. They’re genetically unmodified and they are also biocompatible. So it may be in the long term, we’re able to create biobots from human cells.异种机器人可进入传统机器人无法进入的地方，它们是生物可降解的，（繁殖后）在基因上没有突变，具有生物相容性。因此从长远看，我们可以从人类细胞中造出活体机器人。To make the xenobots, scientists scraped stem cells from frog embryos and left them to incubate【孵化】. They found the sphere-shaped xenobots made from around 3,000 cells could replicate but it happened rarely. With the help of artificial intelligence, scientists tested billions of body shapes to make the xenobots more effective at this type of replication. The supercomputer came up with a C-shape that resembled Pac-Man, from the 1980s video game. They found it was able to find tiny stem cells in a petri dish, gather hundreds of them inside its mouth, after a few days the bundle of cells became new xenobots. In the future, uses for xenobots could include collecting microplastics in the oceans, inspecting root systems for plants and trees and regenerative medicine.为了制造异型机器人，科学家们从爪蛙胚胎中刮出干细胞，并让它们进行孵化。他们发现这些球状异型机器人大约由3000个细胞组成，并能够进行自我复制，尽管这种情况很少发生。在人工智能的帮助下，科学家们为这种异形机器人测试了数十亿种形态，以求使异型机器人在自我复制中做到效率最大化。最终，超级计算机发现了一种类似于80年代视频游戏中的"吃豆人 "的C字形态。这样形态的细胞能够在培养皿中寻找微小的干细胞，并将数百个干细胞聚集在它的嘴里，几天后，这些细胞束就将成为新的异型机器人。在未来，异型机器人有希望在收集海洋中的微塑料，检查植物和树木的根部系统，以及再生医学等领域发挥作用。#热词加油站eligible [ˈelɪdʒəb(ə)l]【有资格的】stipulate [ˈstɪpjəˌleɪt]【规定】slope [sloʊp]【坡】reproduce [ˌriprəˈdus]【繁殖】incubate [ˈɪŋkjəˌbeɪt]【孵化】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

YOUNG PEOPLE SEE BENEFITS IN REGISTERING A WILL打破“死亡”话题禁忌，年轻人参与遗嘱确立Writing a will has long been taboo【禁忌】 in public discourse 【话语】 as it reminds people of death. But now, more people are seeing it as a guarantee for the future. Zhang Hong tells us about people going to the China Will Registration Center in Shanghai.“遗嘱确立”由于让人联想到“死亡”，一直以来是公众话题的禁忌。但如今，越来越多的人意识到“立遗嘱”是对未来的一个保障。请听记者带来关于遗嘱确立人的详细报道。Mr. Gong and his wife, who live in Chongming, have a son and a daughter. The couple want to leave their apartment to their daughter.生活在上海崇明区的龚先生和妻子有一儿一女，两人决定把自己的一套公寓留给女儿。Mr. GongShanghai Resident龚先生上海市民After I bought another apartment for my son, I told him that I would leave this apartment to his sister. My son doesn’t know that I am here to write a will. I think that registering a will helps prevent possible conflicts.给我儿子买了另一套房子的时候，我就说了崇明的这一套房子给女儿。我来立遗嘱，我儿子是不知道的。立遗嘱本身就是为了防止他们姐弟两个以后有分歧。A China Will Registration Center employee reaffirmed Mr. Gong’s reasoning.中华遗嘱库的一名工作人员肯定了龚先生的想法。Huang Haibo, Director of SH BranchChina Will Registration Center黄海波中华遗嘱库上海分库主任A will is needed to ensure the proper assignment of properties. We cannot rely merely on humanity when it comes to benefits.（人）都是需要一份遗嘱去保证家里的财产的，因为我们不能在利益面前去考验人性。Huang suggested that Mr. Gong also include a letter so his son understands the will when he sees it.黄海波建议龚先生再附一封信，这样儿子将来看到遗嘱的时候能明白父亲的用意。Mr. GongShanghai Resident龚先生上海市民I hope you and your sister can join hands for a better future. I hope your families will always be nice to each other.希望你们姐弟俩要团结友爱，共同前进，更希望你们两人能够世代友好。Young people are also seen at the center. 38-year-old Zhu Li is one of them. Although she and her husband are healthy and have a stable life, she wants her best friend to be the guardian【监护人】 of her 7-year-old son in case anything happens to them.在遗嘱中心，也能看到一些年轻身影。38岁的朱莉就是其中一员。尽管朱莉和其丈夫身体康健，生活稳定，但倘若发生意外，她希望自己的好朋友可以成为7岁儿子的监护人。Friend of Zhu Li朱莉的闺蜜It represents her trust in me.

Lei Shuran has more.受新冠病毒奥密克戎变异毒株的影响，日本将于11月30日起暂停所有国家和地区的外国人入境。The decision means Japan will restore border controls that it lifted earlier this month for short-term business visits, foreign students and workers. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida urged people to continue wearing masks and other basic pandemic control measures until further details of the new omicron variant are known.这意味着日本于本月8号刚刚放宽的针对外籍商务人员、留学生、务工人员等的入境政策将被叫停，国境管控将重新实施。日本首相岸田文雄呼吁人们戴好口罩，做好防疫举措，等待有关新型变异毒株的信息发布。Fumio KishidaPrime Minister of Japan岸田文雄日本首相To avoid the worst case scenario and emergency anti-virus measures, we will ban the entry of foreigners from all around the world beginning at midnight on November 30th.为了避免最坏的情况，我们将采取紧急防疫措施。从11月30日0点起，我们将禁止全世界的外国人入境。Japan has already suspended the exemption for people who have recently been to any of nine African countries, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Kishida said a person who has arrived in Japan from Namibia has tested positive for coronavirus, however, it will take four to five days to identify the variant. According to the health ministry, the man arrived at Narita airport from Namibia on Sunday. The Omicron variant was first reported to the World Health Organization by South Africa last week. So far, several European countries as well as countries and regions including Australia, Canada, Israel and China’s Hong Kong have confirmed Omicron infections. The WHO has listed Omicron as a "variant of concern," this variant contains a large number of mutations【变异】, and the organization warns that it may be highly transmissible and pose an increased risk of reinfection to people who have previously been infected by the coronavirus.日本已出台限制措施，拒绝接纳最近去过博茨瓦纳、斯威士兰、莱索托、马拉维、莫桑比克、纳米比亚、南非、赞比亚和津巴布韦等九个非洲国家中任何一个国家的入境者。岸田表示一名来自纳米比亚的入境人员其新冠病毒检测结果呈阳性，但仍需要4到5天的时间来确认其是否感染奥密克戎毒株。卫生部称，该男子于周日从纳米比亚抵达成田机场。上周，南非首次向世界卫生组织报告了奥密克戎变种。目前，欧洲多个国家以及澳大利亚、加拿大、以色列和中国香港等国家和地区均已出现该病毒变种的确诊病例。奥密克戎已被世卫组织列为“需要关注”的变异毒株。该变种经历多重变异，世卫组织警告其具有高度传染性，对之前感染过冠状病毒的人造成二次感染的风险也相应增加。#热词加油站capacity [kəˈpæsəti]【容量】taboo [təˈbuː] 【禁忌】discourse [ˈdɪskɔːrs] 【话语】guardian [ˈɡɑːrdiən]【(尤指双亲已故孩子的)监护人】mutation [mjuːˈteɪʃn]【(生物物种的)变异】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

NEWS ON 11/261.YEAR-END LINEUP OF MUSICALS BEGINS WITH "ROMEO AND JULIETTE"玻璃渣里找糖吃！阿云嘎领衔中国版《罗密欧与朱丽叶》岁末开场2.GOVERNOR OF OKINAWA REJECTS U.S. BASE RELOCATION PLAN日本：冲绳知事亮"王牌" 拒批美军搬迁地加固地基申请3.WIDE-BODY PASSENGER AIRCRAFT LANDS IN ANTARCTICA FOR THE FIRST TIME空客宽体客机首次降落南极________请为我们点亮右下角的爱心哦________1. YEAR-END LINEUP OF MUSICALS BEGINS WITH "ROMEO AND JULIETTE"玻璃渣里找糖吃！阿云嘎领衔中国版《罗密欧与朱丽叶》岁末开场The Chinese adaptation of the French musical "Romeo and Juliette" debuted tonight at SAIC Shanghai Culture Square, starting a winter menu of hit shows. Zhang Yue has more.作为“2021年末演出季”的开幕大戏，法国音乐剧《罗密欧与朱丽叶》的中国版日前在上海文化广场举行首演。25 performances of Shakespeare’s classic tale of love will be staged through December 19th featuring music and lyrics by Gerard Presgurvic. The song "Les Rois du Monde" has proven one of the most popular since the original "Romeo and Juliette" premiered in Paris in 2001. Since then, it has been translated into more than 10 languages around the world. Four different casts will stage the Chinese adaptation. Popular singer Ayanga plays Romeo.25场演出将持续至12月19日。这出莎翁经典爱情剧目由杰拉德·普雷斯古维包揽词曲创作，自2001年原版《罗密欧与朱丽叶》在巴黎首演以来，《世界之王》一直是最受欢迎的曲目之一，被翻译成10多种语言，在全世界广为流传。此次的中国版“罗密欧”与“朱丽叶”由4组演员共同演绎，其中包括著名音乐剧演员阿云嘎。Ayanga / Chinese Singer阿云嘎 中国版罗密欧扮演者“Since our director Carl is also the choreographer, I’ve learned a lot of body language from him, like how to loosen my body, and how to be more relaxed and romantic on stage. I’ve been enjoying the whole process, and I think Romeo is a simple and impulsive teenager. He’s not that complicated, so I’ll just be all in, and do my best. ”这次和卡尔导演，我觉得因为他是编舞出身的，所以整个的这个舞台它其实有很多身体语言的东西很多，这个是给予我这次角色里，甚至给我本身都有很大的帮助。非常带有浪漫主义色彩，松弛的一种身体语言，非常需要在这个戏里，它不是一个拙劲。我整个过程很享受，现在心态我非常放松，这个人物是一个非常冲动的少年，我觉得他的旅程很简单，爱恨非常明了，所以这个人物并不复杂，所以我演的很酣畅，投入进入就好。Red and blue lighting provide a stark contrast and represent the Montagues and Capulets, the two families that oppose Romeo and Juliette’s love affair. The striking juxtaposition of color symbolizes the tension in the story. Carl Portal, director and choreographer of the original musical, was invited to Shanghai this year to help with the production and he added various Chinese elements. 舞台上的红蓝灯光形成了鲜明对比，分别代表罗密欧与朱丽叶身后，互为仇敌的两个家族，蒙太古家族和凯普莱特家族，强烈的色彩对比更是对故事的张力的体现。此次本土化制作邀请到法语原版主创捷哈·皮斯葛维克与卡尔·波塔尔(Carl Portal)亲自操刀，并在创造过程中融入了中国元素。Carl Portal / Director  卡尔·波塔尔 导演“I’ve been amazed since I found that almost all the cast members here can sing, dance and back flip. So, I added more back flips in this version. And also, although we have some karate in the French version, I wanted the cast to fully present the essence of karate here since it echoes Asian culture. So that’s some of the differences from the original musical.”我发现我们中国舞者非常厉害，个个都能跳能唱能后空翻，所以在这次的中文版里也加了很多高难度后空翻的动作，法语原版里没有多，另外就是其实在"权利"这首歌里有用到空手道这个元素，但因为空手道对于亚洲文化会更加接近，所以在这版里我就要求把空手道这个部分原汁原味的展现出来，那这个部分也是和法语原版有区别的。Culture Square’s theater manager said it took the team over a year to translate and revise the French lyrics into Chinese, adding he found there was much in common between French and Chinese culture.文化广场的剧场经理表示，整个团队花费了近一年的时间翻译和改写法文歌词。在这一过程中，他发现中法文化之间有许多共同之处。Fei Yuanhong / Theater Manager of SAIC Shanghai Culture Square费元洪 上汽上海文化广场副总经理 “French and Chinese literature are both very romantic, and full of impressionism. Since the original lyrics of "Romeo and Juliette" are very poetic, they are a great fit here since China has a very long and deep history of writing and appreciating poetry. I believe audiences will not be disappointed. ”因为法语音乐剧和中国都共有那种非常写意的，浪漫的，大线条的审美，那这种审美中法之间有很多共通，我们也会发现我们和法国文化亲近感比较强，那么这些是个基础，那"罗密欧与朱丽叶"整个是诗歌性的歌词，那么中国又是个诗歌大国，所以这当中有很多艺术化处理的空间，然后让这些歌词呈现的非常美，就是它这种旋律是中国人特别能接受的，跟英美的气质还是非常不同，我们中国呢肯定要走一个中国自己的特色， 但是各国呢都有可借鉴的东西。Culture Square’s winter lineup also includes the musicals "Fan Letter" and "Into the White Night"; along with the plays "The Dream of the Red Chamber" and "The Yellow Storm."上汽上海文化广场推出的“2021年末演出季”剧单还包括音乐剧《粉丝来信》、《白夜行》、《红楼梦》以及《四世同堂》等。2. GOVERNOR OF OKINAWA REJECTS U.S. BASE RELOCATION PLAN日本：冲绳知事亮"王牌" 拒批美军搬迁地加固地基申请In a decision that is likely to lead to a legal battle, the governor of the Japanese prefecture of Okinawa said yesterday that he will not approve the central government's revised plan for moving a US military airbase to reclaimed land.围绕驻日美军基地搬迁事宜，日本冲绳县政府昨天向中央政府亮出抗争"王牌"。知事玉城丹尼 表示，出于安全考虑，不会批准日本防卫省提交的加固搬迁目的地地基的申请。日本中央政府可能就此提起诉讼。�The plan to relocate the airbase from a central urban area in Okinawa to the rural northern coast of Henoko originated in an agreement reached between the Japanese and US governments in 1996. More than 70 percent of voters in the prefecture rejected the relocation plan in a 2019 referendum, with many of them hoping for the base to be moved outside of Okinawa. The central government maintains its view that relocation is the only solution, citing the need to ensure the Japan-US alliance.日美两国1996年商定，将冲绳县内的美军普天间基地，搬至该县 名护市边野古地区。长期以来，驻冲绳美军军人犯罪、军机坠毁、高空坠物和噪音骚扰等事件频发，2019年冲绳县举行的公投中，超过七成的民众反对基地搬迁计划，要求关闭基地或将其迁至县外。但日本中央政府多次强调，要想确保日美同盟不受损，普天间基地在冲绳县内搬迁是"唯一解决办法"。3. WIDE-BODY PASSENGER AIRCRAFT LANDS IN ANTARCTICA FOR THE FIRST TIME空客宽体客机首次降落南极An Airbus A340 plane took off from Cape Town, South Africa and landed in Antarctica after 5 hours of flight. It is the first time that a wide-body passenger aircraft has landed on the icy continent. 一架空客A340客机近日成功降落南极，这也是人类历史上首架在南极大陆上落地的大型宽体客机。这架A340客机从南非开普敦起飞，经过5个多小时的飞行后，抵达南极。�The ice runway can be extremely difficult to navigate. Special grooves have to be carved along the runway to give the plane a better grip while braking. Another hazard is the glare that bounces off the ice. Despite the difficulties, the flight crew managed to successfully land the jet. The plane then returned to South Africa after three hours in Antarctica.由于南极冰原上没有能实现大型客机降落的标准机场，此次飞行计划的策划方在南极的冰原上，开凿并改造出了一条用冰雪制成的跑道。除了临时跑道有些简陋外，缺少标志物的白茫茫冰原也为落地增加了难度。但最终，飞行团队还是完成了这一挑战，并在落地南极3小时后，驾驶A340客机返航。

So financial product sales firms should provide risk evaluation ability for their products with professional analysts. And its video sites’ responsibility to supervise the video uploaders, and the derivative products they’ve talked about.从年轻人的特点来说，对投资产品更多带着增值的目的，对风险考虑少，所以做销售推广的平台应该自身对产品有风险评估能力，要有专业分析人员。视频网站要对推广视频的人员要有审查，这是平台的责任，平台有责任对推广视频的和理财产品有关的人，以及未来由此带来的投资衍生品、收益等有义务做监管。A total of 1,432 funds were established in 2020, raising an unprecedented total of 3.2 trillion yuan.

We have also noticed that some separatists have claimed to regret not being included on the list. There is no hurry. There will be a time when they will really regret it.可以明确的是，"台独"顽固分子清单上绝不止这3个人。我们也注意到，近期有个别"台独"分子跳得挺高，甚至声称对未被列入"台独"顽固分子清单感到"遗憾"。别着急，有他们真正遗憾的时候。Beijing has fined Taiwan-based Far Eastern Group for a series of violations of laws and regulations ranging from environmental protection to product quality.近期，有关执法部门发现台湾远东集团在当地投资时存在一系列违法违规行为，他们依照国家有关法律法规和程序，对涉事企业进行了处罚。Zhu FenglianSpokesman, Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council朱凤莲 国台办发言人Fines and taxes of about 474 million yuan have been imposed【强制实行】.

BIDEN HAILS “LARGEST EVER” RELEASE FROM OIL RESERVE白宫宣布释放5000万桶战略石油储备U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday ordered 50 million barrels【桶】 of oil released from America’s strategic reserves to help bring down energy costs in co-ordination with other nations, including India, the United Kingdom and Japan.为了抑制疯涨的油价，美国总统拜登周二宣布，将从战略石油储备中释放5000万桶石油，并同时寻求与印度、英国、日本等国合作。The US government will begin to move barrels into the market in mid-to-late December. Gasoline usually lags behind changes in oil prices, and administration officials suggested this is one of several steps toward ultimately bringing down costs. The U.S. Department of Energy will make the oil available from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in two ways; 32 million barrels will be released in the next few months and will return to the reserve in the years ahead. Another 18 million barrels will be part of a sale of oil that Congress authorized.美国政府最早将于12月中下旬开始将5000万桶石油投放市场，但由于汽油通常滞后于石油价格的变化，因此，有关部门认为这只是实现油价降低过程中的一小步措施。美国能源部将以两种方式释放战略石油储备：在5000万桶石油中，3200万桶属于短期交换，待油价平稳后，约定于2022年至2024年归还战略石油储备，而另外1800万桶则将直接销售。Joe BidenPresident, the United States of America拜登 美国总统It will take time, but before long you should see the price of gas drop where you fill up your tank.这一措施将改变现状，这需要时间，但用不了多久，你们就会看到加油站的油价下降。Shortly after the U.S. announcement, India said it would release 5 million barrels from its strategic reserves. And the British government confirmed it will release up to 1.5 million barrels from its stockpile. Japan and South Korea are also participating. Investors were anticipating the moves could bring a combined total of around 70 million barrels of oil onto global markets.就在美国宣布释放石油储备后不久，印度政府宣布他们也将从其战略储备释放500万桶石油。同时，英国政府证实将从其库存中释放150万桶石油。而日本，韩国等国也表示将参与到释放石油储备中。投资者预测，多国联合释放的石油储备规模共计可达6500万至7000万桶。According to the American Automobile Association, gasoline prices are at about 3.40 US dollars a gallon, 60% higher than a year ago. And high gas prices are chipping away at consumer budgets just as the busy holiday travel season is underway.美国汽车协会的数据显示，目前，全美平均汽油价格超过每加仑3.4美元，这一数字比一年前高出了60%。随着美国旅游季的到来，持续攀升的油价使美国消费者叫苦不迭。American citizens美国民众I haven’t been driving a lot recently, but I am making a long trip down south for the holidays, so not looking forward to paying a lot for the gas to fill my tank.我最近已经不常开车了，但节假日我要开长途去南方，希望不要花费太多钱来加油。Oil prices had dropped in the days ahead of the announced withdrawals. But during Tuesday morning trading, prices shot up nearly 2% instead of continuing their fall.不久前，石油的价格曾下降过一段时间，但在周二开市时，石油价格突然上升了百分之二。Americans used an average of 20.7 million barrels a day during September, according to the federal Energy Information Administration. That means that the release nearly equals about two-and-a-half days of additional supply.根据美国能源情报署的数据，在整个九月份，美国民众平均每天使用2070万桶石油，也就是说，这次石油的释放量仅仅只能满足美国民众两天半的需求。#热词加油站optimize [ˈɑptɪˌmaɪz]【使最优化】implementation [ˌɪmpləmənˈteɪʃ(ə)n]【执行】impose [ɪmˈpoʊz]【强制实行】secessionist [sɪˈsef(ə)nɪst]【分离主义者】barrel [ˈberəl]【桶】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

The United Nations climate change conference recently concluded with negotiators agreeing on a new global pact. Our host, Aixinjueluo Bei, spoke earlier to Professor Rodrigo Zeidan from NYU Shanghai and learned about the influence of climate change on our lives, as well as emerging business opportunities.

Like!中国节 – 小雪今天是小雪，or Minor Snow, indicates that it could snow at any time now as temperatures drop around the country.From this solar term onwards, a northeasterly wind will blow more frequently. The weather is cold, but not too cold. Therefore, many people forget to wear hats and scarves. This makes them more vulnerable to catching a cold. Just remember to put some more clothes on.When we talk about dispelling cold and keeping warm, eating in accordance with the weather to warm your body is always a wise option. The aroma of baked glutinous rice cakes 糍粑 easily evokes fond memories for people from southern China. The cakes are round to celebrate a family reunion and pray for a bountiful harvest and prosperous year.  Remember, 糍粑 is best served warm in winter. Meanwhile, in some northern regions of China, people tend to eat boiled mutton 涮羊肉, as it warms and strengthens the body.Minor Snow is the best time to start making preserved pork and preserved vegetables. Thanks to the cold weather, preserved food can be stored a long time.Have you ever heard the cute expression 猫冬？It’s not depicting what cats are doing during winter. In fact, 猫冬 comes from a northern dialect, as 猫 means to hide 躲藏，and 猫冬 indicates passing the winter at home. As long as you’ve got enough food preserved for the cold weather, 猫冬 will bring you endless fun.  According to an old Chinese saying, 小雪雪满天，来年必丰年,（字幕：If the sky is full of snow during Minor Snow, next year will be a harvest year." ）we can easily tell that snow really matters to many. In northern regions of China, people enjoy making snowmen in the winter.Though it is not so common to see snowmen in southern regions, I believe people here have heard of an animated film called 雪孩子 The Snow Kid, created by 上海美术电影厂Shanghai Animation Film Studio in 1980. 雪孩子 has become one of the figures, along with other classic animated characters like Monkey King, Nezha and the Calabash brothers, in an animated short promoting the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, bringing back childhood memories for many. This short film encourages people to participate in winter sports.小雪至，冬始俏，莫负好时光。

NEWS ON 11/171. CHINA WILL ALLOW VACCINE-MIXING FOR BOOSTER SHOTS混合加强针来了！中国将新冠疫苗加强针“混打”提上议程2. CONSTRUCTION BEGINS ON LEGOLAND IN SHANGHAI正式开工！上海乐高乐园落户金山3. MICHELLE WU SWORN IN AS BOSTON'S FIRST WOMAN AND ASIAN MAYOR吴弭宣誓成为波士顿首位华裔女市长-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1. CHINA WILL ALLOW VACCINE-MIXING FOR BOOSTER SHOTS混合加强针来了！中国将新冠疫苗加强针“混打”提上议程China has administered more than 2.4 billion doses of coronavirus vaccines. Work is now being done to determine a combination of vaccines to allow for mixing and matching with booster shots.全国新冠疫苗接种数量已经超过24亿剂次，目前，科研人员正在针对疫苗组合注射进行研究，以便推出不同技术路线的加强免疫组合。The inactivated coronavirus booster shot increases the level of anti-bodies in a person’s system and is effective against coronavirus variants. Based on studies through August 2nd, individuals should receive the same type of vaccine when getting a booster shot. For example, if your first two doses were different inactivated vaccine brands, the booster shot needs to be the same brand as the second jab. Both Sinovac and Sinopharm produce inactivated vaccines. CanSino produces an adenovirus one-dose vaccine. National Health Commission official Zheng Zhongwei says all booster shots will raise the level of antibodies in a person’s system. He also says mixing and matching vaccines is safe.在注射灭活疫苗第三剂加强免疫后，人体内不仅抗体水平大幅提高，对各种变异株的防控能力也更加强大。基于8月2号时的研究结果，我国现阶段采用与原接种相同的疫苗进行加强针的注射。例如，如果你在注射前两针疫苗时接种了不同的灭活疫苗，当进行加强针的注射时，疫苗需要与第二针所注射的疫苗相同。现在，北京科兴与国药集团都在进行灭活疫苗的研制生产工作，而康希诺则专攻于腺病毒疫苗的生产。国家卫健委官员郑忠伟指出，所有加强针的注射都将提高人体内抗体的水平。并且他表示，不同技术路线的疫苗注射在安全性方面是有保障的。Zheng ZhongweiHead of China's coronavirus vaccine development task force郑忠伟 国务院联防联控机制科研攻关组疫苗研发专班工作组组长 Using the same type of booster shot as the original is safer. While a mix-and-match booster shot increases levels of neutralizing antibodies even more, the chance of an adverse reaction is higher. But still, the adverse【负面的】reaction can be tolerated.同技术路线的加强，相对来讲就是说安全（性）更好，那么不同技术路线那么接种以后，那么他的抗体水平会有更多的提高，可能他的一些就是这个异常反应、这个不良反应相对会高一点，但是这个不良反应他是能承受的。Zheng says an optimal combination will be introduced soon based on clinical【临床的】studies and discussions.郑忠伟还提到说，下一步他们将结合临床研究结果，组织专家论证，推出最优加强免疫组合。2.

A high-profile meeting of the Communist Party of China has adopted a landmark resolution on the major achievements and historical experience of the CPC’s 100 years. The resolution was reviewed and adopted at the sixth plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, held in Beijing from Monday to Thursday. Today, we have Muhammad Zamir Assadi, Special Correspondent of the Independent Pakistan News Agency, to share his view on the future development of China.-----------------INTERVIEW-----------------Q: What’s your understanding of China’s pursuit of “common prosperity”? Muhammad Zamir Assadi:During my journalism work in China, I have visited various provinces and regions of the 2nd largest economy of the world. I also got the opportunity to visit some of the counties who eradicated the absolute poverty following the guidelines of the central governments.I strongly believe that the eradication of extreme poverty in China in line with the United Nations (UN) 2030 agenda has served as inspiration to societies grappling with deprivation and inequality.Phenomenal success in poverty alleviation is a reflection of Chinese people's aspiration for a better life coupled with their indomitable will to overcome all bottlenecks along their path to greatness.Q: What’s your take on the outlook on China’s economy? Muhammad Zamir Assadi:Communiqué of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China is a reflection of China’s peaceful development under the leadership of Communist Party of China.The high quality development of China’s economy shows the will and commitment of China’s system that every effort will be put into action to maintain the long term and sustainable economy.The international community is witness to the strength of economic growth of China as it has not only benefited to the local businesses and people but also benefited to the international economies as well.The strength and quality of Chinese economy is emerging as a strong toll and engine for the global economic system and it is also the need of the time to put more efforts for global economic recovery facing the ravaging impacts of COVID19.The performance of Chinese economy since the implementation of reforms and opening up policies have got the strong base and solid momentum that is energizing the international economic activities of developing and develop countries.Q: What do you think are the key drivers for China to reach carbon neutrality before 2060?Muhammad Zamir Assadi:In my opinion, China's 14th Five-Year Plan, for the period 2021–25, presents a real opportunity for China to link its long-term climate goals with its short-to medium-term social and economic development plans.China's recent commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2060 has set a clear direction for its economy, but requires ratcheting up ambition on its near-term climate policy. China has also committed to greening its major multi-country infrastructure and development project, the Belt and Road Initiative.

U.S. SCIENTISTS REVERSE PARALYSIS IN MICE瘫痪有望被治愈？美国新型药物令瘫痪实验鼠恢复行走Scientists in the United States recently said that they are a step closer to reversing paralysis【瘫痪】 in humans after they successfully administered a new injectable therapy in mice. Lei Shuran has more.近日美国研究人员成功地在小鼠身上实验了新型注射疗法，宣称他们向攻克修复脊髓损伤的难关，迈进一步。In lab tests, the team from Northwestern University administered a single injection to tissues surrounding the spinal cords of paralyzed mice. Just four weeks later, the animals regained the ability to walk. They described an injection of "dancing molecules" to reverse paralysis and repair tissue after severe spinal cord injuries. The secret behind the new breakthrough therapeutic is influencing the motion of molecules, so they can more easily engage with constantly moving cellular【细胞的】 receptors【受体】. Injected as a liquid directly into the spine, the therapy immediately gels into a complex network of nanofibers【纳米纤维】 that mimic【模拟】 the extracellular matrix of the spinal cord.在实验室中，西北大学的研究团队对瘫痪小鼠脊髓周围的组织注射了一次药物。仅仅四周后，这些小鼠就恢复了行走能力。他们表示注射的"让分子跳舞"的新型药物可以逆转瘫痪并修复严重脊髓损伤后的组织。这种新的突破性疗法背后的秘密便是影响分子的运动，从而使药物更容易地与不断运动的细胞受体结合。药物以液体形式注入脊椎后，便会立即凝结成一个纳米纤维网络，模拟脊髓的细胞外基质。Samuel StuppMaterials Science, Chemistry & Medicine, Northwestern University斯图普，美国西北大学材料科学、化学及医学董事会教授So here are tiny fibers trying to have encounters with those receptors. Well, if they moved more, then they have a much better chance of making contact with the receptors. One way to think about this is that if the molecules are ’dancing’ around or leaping out of the fibers, the probability that they will meet up with the receptors is increased.我们发现细胞膜上的受体移动得很快，细胞膜本身也在移动，这些微小的纤维试图与受体相接触。可以这么想，如果分子在纤维附近跳跃，那么与受体接触的可能性就会增加。Published in the journal ’Science’, the team claims they now want to push for human trials. Nearly 300,000 people are currently living with a spinal cord injury in the United States, according to the US National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center.该团队已在《科学》杂志上发表研究报告，表示现在希望申请进行人体试验。根据美国国家脊髓损伤统计中心的数据，美国目前有近30万人患有脊髓损伤。#热词加油站landmark [ˈlændmɑːrk]【里程碑，地标】draft [dræft]【草稿，讨论稿】paralysis [pəˈræləsɪs]【瘫痪】cellular [ˈseljələr]【细胞的】receptor [rɪˈseptər]【受体】nanofiber [nænɔː'fɪbər]【纳米纤维】mimic [ˈmɪmɪk]【模拟】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

And during the 15th five-year plan period from 2026 to 2030, we will begin phasing out our coal consumption. We also announced that China will no longer be building new coal-fired projects abroad.我们已经提出了在"十四五"期间，也就是2021年到2025年，我们要严格控制煤炭消费总量的增长。"十五五"期间，煤炭的消费总量要逐步下降，而且在海外要停止建设煤电项目。As the world’s largest developing country, China is striving to meet a grand goal: to reach a peak in its carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. This ambitious target means China will attempt to complete the world’s most dramatic reduction in carbon emissions, and plans realize carbon neutrality faster than any other country.作为世界上最大的发展中国家，中国正在努力实现一个宏伟目标：2030年前二氧化碳排放达到峰值，2060年前实现碳中和。这一宏伟目标意味着，中国将努力完成世界上最大幅度的碳减排并且计划比其他任何国家都要快地实现碳中和。2.

A man left the vehicle, took out a gun, demanded property, shot the student in the chest, then got back into the vehicle and fled.当地时间周二（11月9日）下午 2 点左右，24岁的受害人正走在人行道上，一辆深色车辆突然在他旁边停靠，一名男子持枪从车里出来向受害人索要财物，然后突然向其胸部连开数枪，并驱车逃离。Local Resident当地居民“You don’t just shoot someone in the chest? for what? phone?"哪有随便朝别人胸口开枪的？为了什么呀？抢一部手机吗？The victim was taken to the UChicago Hospital where he was pronounced dead.案发后，受害者被送往芝加哥大学医院，但最终因伤重不治身亡。UChicago Graduate芝加哥大学毕业生“Because we thought there was a little bit safer, relatively speaking, compared to the other areas, around the Hyde Park so just to hear about this incident, yeah, definitely scared me.” 说实话我们本以为和美国其他地方相比，这个地区会相对安全一点，但这起事件真的吓到我了。A statement issued by UChicago President confirmed that a recent graduate of the university was shot and killed off-campus in the course of a robbery. The statement also said the university is working with the Chicago Police Department to gather more facts about the case.

JAPAN’S KISHIDA RE-ELECTED PM AFTER STRONG GENERAL ELECTION WIN岸田文雄当选日本第101任首相-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1. HEALTHCARE FIRMS ENVISION FUTURE CANCER, HEART TREATMENTS亮相进博，癌症治疗有了“新武器”As the CIIE wrapped up, pharmaceutical【制药的】and medical device makers have shown new products that may reach hospitals and research institutions in the near future. 11月10日，进博会圆满落幕。此次进博会上，制药和医疗设备制造商向人们展示了可能在不久之后进入医院和研究机构的新产品。PerkinElmer’s new device is used in the RD processes for medications. It tests more than 30,000 samples in 24 hours, a 400 percent jump in efficiency. Regular testing of the efficacy of a medication or vaccine on a cell requires coating, marking and signal reading. Together, they account for at least 24 hours of work on one sample. Using new marking and reading solutions, the company’s new technique shortens the work to just 2 hours. 珀金埃尔默发明的新设备可以被用于药物的研发中，它能够在24小时内进行超过三万次的样本检验，效率相较前代产品提高了四倍。对于一般的测试而言，在活体细胞上进行药品或是疫苗效力的检测需要进行涂层，标记以及信号阅读几步，总共可能需要至少24小时才能完成对一份样品的检测。但是在运用新型的标记和阅读技术后，该设备已经能够将检测所需时间缩短到接近2小时。This can be used in the assessment of effectiveness and safety of vaccines and the selection of anti-viral drugs. We’d like to work with biomedical companies and vaccine developers in China.该设备可以用来检测疫苗效力及安全性，也可以参与到抗病毒药物的挑选工作上。我们希望能与中国的生物医学和疫苗研发公司进行合作。So you think you have a strong heart? US-based Edwards Lifesciences’ real-time monitor shows your blood pressure, hydration and heart’s pumping motion. You could be surprised by the readings. 你有没有一个强壮的心脏呢？由美国的爱德华兹生命科学公司研发发明的检测仪可以让你实时了解自己的血压，水分量，以及心脏搏动的具体数据。看到这些数据，你可能会大吃一惊。Wow! 145/97? That blood pressure belongs to a monster. Alright, a little warning sign right here: this number that you see here 4.8 measures the amount of blood that your heart pumps out every minute. The good range should be within 2 and 4, mine is 4.8. That means I’m using an excessive【过多的】amount of oxygen.哇塞！145/97？这血压已经不属于正常人了吧。好吧，这里有一个小小的警告标志：你在这里看到的数字与你心脏每分钟泵出的血液量相关。一般来说，该数值如果能保持在2-4之间是非常不错的，而我的是4.8，也就是说我正在消耗过多的氧气。After immediate hydration and a squatting game, one sees perilous changes to blood pressure and oxygen levels.在进行补水和剧烈的蹲起运动后，我们会发现人的血压和含氧量会向一个比较危险的程度变化。All the numbers are going to the heavens ...各项数据都高出了天际…To help patients with heart valve regurgitation, which afflicts more than 7 million people in China, Edwards’ new minimally invasive technology repairs the valve through a tube inserted through the veins and avoids open-heart surgery that can be traumatic on older patients.在中国，有超过七百万人患有心瓣膜回流的疾病，而为了帮助这些患者，爱德华兹发明了一种微创手术，他们可以通过一根插入静脉的导管来修复瓣膜，从而避免了开胸手术，减少了对高龄患者的身体损伤。We are actually the partner of a clinical trial. We partner with top-tier centers in China such as Fuwai, Zhejiang No.2 and Anzhen (all hospitals). So we expect in the next 3-5 years it’ll be ready to serve the Chinese population.我们现在正与阜外，浙医二院，以及安贞医院等中国顶尖的医疗机构在一项临床试验中进行合作，我们预计它将在接下来的三到五年中投入使用，为中国的民众服务。Onto the cancer section, radiotherapy device maker Accuray’s synchronized technology aligns【使一致】radiation with the movement of your chest and abdomen when you breathe. This way, even patients whose cancer has spread can get treated.而在癌症领域，放疗设备制造商艾柯雷的同步技术使得辐射的释放与人们呼吸时胸部和腹部的运动一致，以此来帮助癌症已经扩散的病人进行治疗。In the old method, as a patient breathes and the position of the target organ changes, a radiotherapist will have to expand the range of the radiation. For larger tumors, where there’re key vessels or organs around, this method will cause serious damage. Some patients with multiple tumors can’t be treated at all. This new technology gives hope to a wider range of patients in the later stages of cancer.在过去，因为病人的呼吸会导致病灶位置的变化，所以放疗师在进行治疗时必须要扩大放射范围，而对于较大的肿瘤来说，当周围有重要脏器时，这样的方法将会对其造成严重的损害。一些患有多肿瘤的病人甚至根本无法得到治疗。而这项新型技术的引入则给更多已经进入晚期的癌症患者带来了希望。And its new 360-degree CyberKnife offers a likely alternative to surgery, where early-stage tumors can be treated with its precision radiation emissions, where tumor tissues are killed within the body with no need for incisions. Exhibitors say many of their products shown at past CIIEs are already helping patients at China’s leading hospitals, and they’re here again to show what they can do to help you live long and prosper.同时，艾柯雷公司发明的360度射波刀则给癌症手术提供了一种可能的替代方案，早期的肿瘤可以通过由它精确发射的辐射进行治疗，无需开刀，肿瘤组织就将在体内被直接杀死。参展商说道，他们在进博会上展出的很多产品已经投入使用，正在中国的医院内帮助治疗病人，而他们现在再次在这里，向大众展示他们如何可以帮助人们长寿。The fourth China International Import Expo came to an end today. At a news briefing this afternoon, officials said 70.7 billion US dollars in deals were signed at this year’s trade fair, down 2.6% compared to last year. The dip was attributed to the pandemic. No accidents or coronavirus infections occurred during the CIIE. More than 150,000 square meters of exhibition space has already been reserved for next year’s CIIE.第四届中国国际进口博览会今天落下帷幕。在今天下午举行的闭幕通气会上，相关负责人透露，本届进博会，各方合作意向热度不减。受疫情等因素影响，按一年计，本届进博会的意向成交金额为707.2亿美元，较上届略降2.6%。在严峻复杂的疫情防控形势下，本届进博会实现了疫情防控零感染、零发生、零事故。此外，第五届进博会的招展工作已经启动。截至目前，企业预定展览面积超过15万平方米，进度快于去年同期。2. SHANGHAI UNVEILS 3-YEAR PLAN TO DIGITALIZE EDUCATION教育数字化！上海教委发布三年转型实施方案The Shanghai Education Commission today released a three-year plan to digitalize classrooms and improve the quality of education.上海市教委发布《上海市教育数字化转型实施方案（2021-2023）》，为在未来进行教室数字化以及教育水平的提升，描绘出一幅美好蓝图。10 application scenarios will be promoted including the teaching process, campus management, and teacher evaluation systems.

Today’s vote was a formality given the dominance in parliament of the party and its junior coalition partner, the Liberal Democratic Party won 261 out of 465 seats in the powerful lower house chamber.在10月4日当选日本首相后，岸田文雄在为期三天的国会会议前率内阁政府全体辞职，并于下午组建了第二次岸田内阁。在10月底进行的日本众议院选举中，自民党获得了465个议员席位中的261个，而在于其它政党结成执政联盟后，他们在下议院压倒性的优势使得本次首相的选举变成了例行公事。Hiroyuki HosodaSpeaker, House of Representatives, Japan细田博之日本众议院议长Fumio Kishida has been appointed as Prime Minister by the Diet members.众议院任命岸田文雄担任日本首相。Kishida is expected to appoint former education minister, Yoshimasa Hayashi, as his foreign minister. Most of the current Cabinet members will remain unchanged as it was just formed last month when Kishida first took the office. Toshimitsu Motegi, who served as foreign minister since 2019, became the LDP’s secretary general in early October replacing Akira Amari. Following the special session, the LDP is looking to convene【召集】an extraordinary Diet session later this year to pass a supplementary budget to alleviate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. He is also looking to secure salary increases for care workers, nurses and nursery school staff.岸田预计将委任前文科相林芳正担任外交大臣，而大部分内阁成员将保持一个月前岸田第一次组阁时的职位不做变动。茂木敏充自2019年以来一直任日本外务相的职务，今年10月初，他代替甘利明开始在自民党中担任干事长。在特别会议后，自民党预计将在今年晚些时候召开一次国会特别会议，以通过扩大预算的提案，借此来缓解由新冠疫情造成的巨大影响，并且，他同时还希望能够通过提案来确保护理人员、护士和幼儿园工作人员的工资增长。#热词加油站authentication [ɔˌθentɪˈkeɪʃ(ə)n]【认证】pharmaceutical  [ˌfɑrməˈsutɪk(ə)l]【制药的】excessive [ɪkˈsesɪv]【过多的】aligns  [əˈlaɪn]【使一致】convene [kənˈvin]【召集】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Like!中国节 --- 立冬大家好，今天是立冬，Start of Winter.  The original meaning of the Chinese character 冬 is 终, the end.It indicates that we’re about to welcome the final season of a year.There is a saying 立冬补冬，补嘴空, which means it’s essential to eat nourishing food to keep up our health in winter. For instance, chicken, duck, beef, mutton and fish are usually stewed with some herbs to make it easier for the body to absorb the nutrients. Though it might surprise you, another type of food is also a great option, 饺子，dumplings, which are rich in nutrition.Well, you might think that eating dumplings is quite common, but the custom has something to do with Dr. Zhang Zhongjing. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was about 1,800 years ago, Zhang saved many from a typhoid epidemic and their ears from being frostbitten around the Start of Winter. Zhang cooked mutton, hot peppers and herbs to dispel cold and increase body heat. He also wrapped these ingredients into a dough skin and made them into an ear shape, which later became known as “dumplings”.  Today, there is still a saying 立冬不端饺子碗，冻掉耳朵没人管. Now, it’s less than 100 days from the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games.Athletes from all over the world will be competing in snowboarding, curling, speed skating, alpine skiing and many more events.Though we cannot participate in the games, we can do winter sports to stay fit, 冬泳 winter swimming. 立冬一日，水冷三分。Water temperatures drop rapidly after start of winter. Winter swimming is a test of mental will, and winter swimming enthusiasts believe it’s a good way to improve circulation.Here in Shanghai, if you are willing to try it the Jiading Winter Swimming Club can help. A lot of veteran winter swimmers will share their tips. And…remember to warm up afterwards and have a warm drink. Stay active, stay healthy.立冬至，愿你冬日不寒，日日温暖。

MICROSOFT TO EXPAND ITS METAVERSE STRATEGY微软“宣战”Meta，元宇宙哪家强？-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1. 4th CIIE KICKS OFF IN SHANGHAI第四届进博会开幕啦！President Xi Jinping has just delivered a keynote【(书、演说等的)要旨，主题】speech via video at the opening ceremony of the 4th China International Import Expo and the Hongqiao International Economic Forum. Xi said policies to further open the economy announced at the last CIIE have mostly been implemented, noting the country has overcome the impact of the pandemic and made important contributions to keeping the global supply chain intact. He said this year marks the 20th anniversary of China’s accession to the World Trade Organization, and it has fulfilled the commitments it made. China’s overall tariff level has dropped to 7.4 percent from 15.3 percent in 2001, lower than the 9.8 percent the country promised when entering the WTO. He said the country will not change its resolve 【决心】to open wider at a high standard and share opportunities with the rest of the world. The president also said China will further shorten negative list for foreign investment, expand opening up of service sectors like telecommunications and medical care, conduct stress tests for high-standard reforms in its pilot free trade zones, and deeply engage in cooperation to create a low-carbon and digital economy.习近平主席于11月4日晚以视频方式在第四节中国国际进口博览会暨虹桥国际经济论坛开幕式上发表了主旨演讲。习近平主席说道自己在第三届进博会上宣布的扩大开放措施已经基本落实，中国克服疫情影响，为维持全球供应链的稳定作出了巨大贡献。习近平主席表示，“今年是中国加入世界贸易组织20周年”，这20年来中国全面履行入世承诺。中国关税总水平由15.3%降至7.4%，低于9.8%的入世承诺。习主席称中国扩大高水平开放的决心不会变，同世界分享发展机遇的决心不会变。习主席还承诺中国将进一步缩减外资准入负面清单，有序扩大电信、医疗等服务领域的开放，在自由贸易试验区做好高水平开放压力测试。此外，中国还将深度参与绿色低碳、数字经济等国际合作。2. OLYMPIC SPEED SKATING OVAL FEATURES COOL TECH冬奥会场馆全面完工--“冰丝带”，“酷”科技Construction has been completed of all Winter Olympic sports venues and support infrastructure in the Beijing and Yanqing competition zones. Zhang Yue tells us more about the National Speed Skating Oval, also known as the "Ice Ribbon".目前北京及延庆赛区的场馆和配套基础设施已全面完工。让我们走进有"冰丝带"之称的国家速滑馆一探究竟吧。The National Speed Skating Oval can hold about 12,000 spectators. It has a high-tech curved curtain wall made of 3,360 curved pieces of glass to create a ribbon shape that resembles speed skaters in motion【运动】.国家速滑馆可容纳观众12000人。国家速滑馆的外立面是一张由3360块曲面玻璃单元拼装而成的高科技“天幕”，寓意选手在冰面上滑行如同丝带一样轻盈。Zheng FangNational Speed Skating Oval郑方 国家速滑馆公司设计总负责人The steel cables built on the roof of the "Ice Ribbon" weigh only 27 kilograms per square meter. That equates to about one-fourth of the weight of the roof of a normal sports arena. "冰丝带"实际建造里面使用的钢索，大概屋顶上每一平方米只有27公斤左右。这个和我们常规体育馆的钢结构屋顶比起来差不多是四分之一左右。It’s also the world’s first Winter Olympic venue to use carbon dioxide transcritical direct cooling technology to make ice. The technology maintains the temperature of the ice within 0.5 degrees. The 12,000-square-meter ice surface is divided into different areas, which can be used for ice hockey, speed skating, figure skating and curling at the same time. 国家速滑馆也是全球首个采用二氧化碳跨临界直冷制冰的冬奥速度滑冰场馆。该科技使得冰表面温差不超过0.5℃。近12000平方米冰面被分为若干区域，可同时开展冰球、速度滑冰、花样滑冰、冰壶等冰上运动。Ma Jin, DesignerNational Speed Skating Oval马进 国家速滑馆公司制冰系统设计负责人It has 20 percent higher refrigeration efficiency compared to a normal arena. Another advantage is that we can use waste heat to dehumidify the venue.我们这个能效和传统的技术相比，可以提升20%。还有一个很大的好处，我们可以把制冷产生的废热，用于我们场馆的除湿。The temperature of ice surface will be -7 degrees Celsius, but the seating area for spectators will be about 16 degrees. 在赛场内为了维持冰面，它的温度大概在-7℃，而我所在的观众区温度则保持在16℃左右。3. MICROSOFT TO EXPAND ITS METAVERSE STRATEGY微软“宣战”Meta，元宇宙哪家强？Microsoft appears to be jumping on the ‘metaverse’ bandwagon【风靡的活动】. The software giant is all set to present its own take on the current trend by launching ’Mesh for Teams’ next year, allowing people to take the form of customized avatars in a virtual work environment.Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said the strategy enables people to create their own digital avatar and collaborate in a virtual environment by simply strapping on any virtual reality headset. Users can create different types of virtual environments, such as campuses, offices, and conference rooms, and meet with other digital avatars.

The ministry urged the U.S. to stop using the "national security" concept to crack down on Chinese companies without factualjustification【正当理由】, adding that China will continue to take all necessary measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.针对美方以国家安全为由，撤销中国电信国际电信服务牌照事项，工信部今天发表声明，表示坚决反对。声明指出，中国电信美洲子公司已在美运营近20年，一直谨遵美国法律法规及监管要求。此次美方在未列出我企业具体违法事实的情况下，仅凭主观揣测和怀疑就吊销其在美国国际电信服务牌照，不符合美国市场化国家的形象，也损害了包括美国用户在内的全球消费者的正当权益。中方敦促美方撤回这一决定，以公正、无歧视的态度对待中国电信企业，停止将国家安全概念泛化、将经济问题政治化的错误做法，同时，中方也将继续采取必要措施，保护中国企业在海外的合法权益。2. SHANGHAI SCIENTISTS HONORED FOR NEW MATERIALS, DROUGHT-RESISTANT RICE新材料，抗旱稻，上海在“三大奖”实现“金花齐放”！Among the three award categories, 4 science projects in Shanghai took home first prizes, including one involving new porous【多孔的】 materials and another a rice strain that requires only half the water.在2020年度国家科学技术奖中，上海在国家自然科学奖、技术发明奖和科技进步奖"三大奖"上，牵头获得 4个一等奖，在包括新型多孔材料以及需水量减半的抗旱稻种植等项目上取得重大成果。In the Natural Science Award category, a Fudan University chemistry professor took home a first prize for creating a new method for synthesizing ordered mesoporous carbon materials. Conventional【常规的】 syntheses can only produce randomly porous materials with little control over the distribution and size of the pores. The new material has pores sized between 2 and 50 nanometers, and has a wide range of applications as catalysts or as advanced electronic materials.复旦大学赵东元院士主持完成的《有序介孔高分子和碳材料的创制和应用》摘得国家自然科学一等奖。他们解决了传统上只能合成随机大小的多孔材料的问题，成功将多孔材料的孔径固定在2-50纳米之间，使得这样的多孔材料在未来有成为催化剂或者是尖端电子材料的潜力。Zhao DongyuanAcademician, Chinese Academy of SciencesProfessor, Department of Chemistry – Fudan University赵东元 中国科学院院士 复旦大学化学系教授This project allows us to make all kinds of materials like plastic and rubber porous. These materials can henceforth become permeable.从这个项目出发，我把高分子塑料，包括橡胶，我都可以用这个方法来打成孔，这样的话，原来我们塑料都是不透气，以后我都可以做成透气的塑料。Shanghai’s agricultural scientist Luo Lijun took home a first prize for developing drought-resistant rice that can grow as a dry crop. Regular rice paddies often generate a significant amount of methane gas, which contributes to climate change. The dry rice strain reduces that considerably.上海农科专家罗利军团队主持的《水稻遗传资源的创制保护和研究利用项目》获得国家科学技术奖一等奖。他们在抗旱稻种植的发展方面发挥了重要作用，抗旱稻的推广解决了传统水稻在生长过程中经常产生大量的甲烷气体的问题，为减缓全球气候变暖做出了贡献。Luo Lijunchief scientist, SAGC罗利军 上海市农业生物基因中心 首席科学家The drought-resistant rice strain reduces water use by more than 50 percent and methane emission by 90 percent.我们种节水抗旱稻，可以节水50%以上，这是第一个好处，甲烷排放量减少90%。United Imaging’s 3-tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging device took home first prize in the Technological Invention category. These machines have doubled the signal strength of regular scanners and provide extremely clear images. The invention allowed China to break the monopoly of overseas manufacturers.而今年的国家科技进步奖一等奖则是颁发给了上海联影医疗科技股份有限公司，他们通过多年的多学科团队联合攻关，研制出了首台国产3.0T磁共振整机产品，较其他同类产品而言，该设备提高了一倍的信号强度，能够提供更加清晰的图像。该产品的发明，有力地改变了我国高端影像核心技术缺乏的被动局面，重构了高端医疗设备国际产业格局。Liu Xin,Deputy director, Institute of Biomedicine and Biotechnology, Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences刘新 中科院深圳先进技术研究院医工所副所长Our resolution is 10 times higher than before, and the overall scan time is 5 times faster.从传统技术到最新技术，意味着我们的空间分辨率要提高10倍，采集速度要提高5倍。Among this year’s honorees, 48 projects were led or jointly developed by Shanghai scientists, that is representing 17.5 percent of the total. They have worked with scientists from 26 other cities. Half of them are in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui. Shanghai’s science commission says this shows the city’s capacity to collaborate with institutions from the Yangtze Delta Region.今年的国家科学技术奖中，上海的科学家们牵头或合作完成共48项，获奖数量占到全国的17.5%，其中他们与来自其它26个城市的科学家进行了合作，半数来自于江苏，浙江和安徽地区，充分展示上海与长三角地区合作科技创新策源的硬实力。3.

The DEPA was signed by Chile, New Zealand and Singapore in June last year, and aims at facilitating economic engagement and trade in the digital realm. 中国商务部今日（11月1日）表示，中国已正式申请加入《数字经济伙伴关系协定》。该协议由智利、新西兰和新加坡于去年6月签署，旨在促进数字领域的经济参与和贸易。The Ministry of Commerce said minister Wang Wentao submitted the application today, stating it is in accordance with the country’s efforts to further deepen reform and expand high-level liberalization. It will also help China strengthen cooperation with other DEPA members in the digital economic sector, as well as promoting innovation and sustainable【可持续的】 development.商务部部长王文涛于今日（11月1日）正式提交申请，商务部表示，申请加入协定符合中国进一步深化国内改革和扩大高水平对外开放的方向，有助于中国在新发展格局下与各成员加强数字经济领域合作、促进创新和可持续发展。2. NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS WEIGH IN AT WORLD LAUREATES FORUM顶尖科学家论坛开幕，诺奖得主齐聚上海More than 130 Nobel Prize laureates【获奖者】 from around the world and winners of top science honors including the Turing Award attended the opening ceremony of the 4th World Laureates Forum in Lingang this morning. Reporter Sun Siqi was there.今日（11月1日）上午，第四届世界顶尖科学家论坛在中国（上海）自由贸易试验区临港新片区开幕，来自世界各地的130多位诺贝尔奖获得者和图灵奖等世界顶尖科学奖项获得者出席了开幕仪式。The president of the 10th National Committee of the China Association for Science and Technology maintains that artificial intelligence will spearhead societal change, much like the roles steam engines and computers played in past tech revolutions. For that to happen he contends that scientists and infrastructure【基础设施】 developers need to increasingly think across disciplines. 中国科学技术协会主席万钢认为，人工智能将引领社会变革，像过去的蒸汽机和计算机那样驱动新一轮技术革命。要推动人工智能技术发展水平不断进步，科研人员和基础设施开发人员需要更多地尝试跨学科思考。2013 Nobel Prize laureate Michael Levitt and 1986 Turing Award winner John Hopcroft agreed that greater support needs to be given to researchers in basic science. 2013年诺贝尔奖获得者迈克尔·莱维特和1986年图灵奖获得者约翰·霍普克罗夫特一致认为，需要给予基础科学研究人员更多的支持。John Hopcroft1986 Turing Award Winner约翰·霍普克罗夫特，1986年图灵奖获得者Basic research has led to major advances. The reason for this is that researchers in basic research look in all kinds of different directions. Occasionally, a basic researcher stumbles upon a new direction that leads to a new subfield, and possibly creates a new industry and millions of jobs.基础研究引领重大科学发现。这是因为参与基础研究的科研人员会从各个不同的角度看待问题。有时，一位基础研究人员会偶然发现一个新的研究方向，由此形成一个新的研究子领域，并可能创造一个新的行业和数百万个就业机会。Organizers also unveiled the World Laureates Association prize. Scientists at the panel discussion noted that while researchers from around the world work well in fields like reducing carbon and the COVID-19 pandemic, it is still difficult for them to cooperate in areas where nations have competition. Thus, the goal for the forum is to call for greater willingness to share and find more efficient ways for that to happen.论坛主办方还宣布创设“世界顶尖科学家协会奖”。参加论坛的科学家们指出，尽管来自世界各地的科学研究人员在控制碳排放和新冠疫情防控等领域都取得了很大进展，但他们仍然难以在各国相互竞争的科研领域开展合作。因此，论坛的目标便是呼吁更广泛的分享合作，并为此找到更有效的实现方式。Sun SiqiICS Reporter孙思奇，ICS记者For tomorrow and the day after, the scientists are going to be breaking apart into smaller groups, where they talk about issues in their specific fields, including physics and quantum computing. They’ll also be touching upon some general issues that require coordinated efforts from the world’s scientists, including cutting carbon and developing new medications.明后两天（11月2、3日），参加论坛的科学家们将分组讨论各自研究领域的问题，包括物理学和量子计算。他们还将探讨一些需要全世界科学家合作解决的共同难题，包括减少碳排放以及开发新药品。3.

In Shanghai, reporter Sun Siqi checks out a "Bear-Paw" cafe that serves as a good example of how people with disabilities can work and contribute to society.我国有850万残障人士，大约占总人口数的7%。在上海的 “熊爪咖啡”店里，残障人士充分诠释了他们是如何工作并回馈社会的。我台记者孙思奇前去一探究竟。Customer No. S7022. Honeycomb macchiato, Please.S7022号，蜂巢玛奇朵来喽。With a flower petal decorating the rim【边沿】, a cup of coffee was handed from a hole by a furry bear claw. Cafe Hinichijou, which means "extraordinary" in Japanese, has drawn hordes of customers since opening last December. Its popularity is not just down to its creative serving style that is a magnet for those seeking selfies to post on social media, but also the cafe’s goal of providing jobs for the disabled.一只毛茸茸的熊爪从小洞里递了一杯咖啡出来，杯边还装点着一片花瓣。Hinichijou在日语里面表示“非凡”，熊爪咖啡（Hinichijou Café）自去年12月开业以来吸引了大量顾客。它的走红不仅仅是因为其独特的服务方式吸引了前来拍照“打卡”的顾客，更重要的是，这是一家为残障人士提供工作机会的咖啡店。Behind the store’s gray facade is a group of baristas with hearing and speaking disabilities including Chen Yingying, who won the coffee brewing contest at the 2019 National Professional Competition for People with Disabilities.在咖啡店灰色外墙内是一群患有听说障碍的咖啡师们。其中一位--陈莹莹，在2019年获得了全国残疾人职业技能大赛咖啡冲调项目的冠军。Chen Yingying, BaristaHinichijou Café陈莹莹 咖啡师The biggest challenge for me is frothing milk, which is usually done by listening to the sound of the froth.

I will encourage more disabled people like me to work hard, be grateful and live a wonderful life.慢慢有自信融入社会了，现在的生活才是想要的生活。以后要帮助更多的人能努力拼搏，学会感恩，活出自己的人生精彩。This is not the first cafe to hire people with disabilities. More "silent" cafes have sprung up in the city including Starbucks, where they employ people with a hearing or speech impairment. To help more disabled people find a job, the Shanghai Disabled Persons’ Federation has rolled out several training programs that include making handicrafts, baking, computer maintenance and other skills. An average of 15,000 people apply each year.熊爪咖啡并非雇佣残障人士的首家咖啡店。还有更多的“无声”咖啡店在上海这座城市里涌现--星巴克咖啡也雇佣患有听说障碍的咖啡师。为了帮助残疾人士找到合适的工作，上海残联推出了手工艺、烘培、计算机维护及其他技巧培训项目班。平均每年大约有1.5万人申请。Chen DongyuanVice Director of Education& Employment, SH Disabled Persons’ Federation陈栋渊 上海市残联教育就业处副处长We will also provide career guidance and follow-up services for the disabled to help them better adapt to their jobs. We will give professional instructions to employers and support startup projects like "Bear-Paw Cafe" to help the disabled in their job search.下一步除了职业培训外，我们还会有职业介绍、职业指导及后续岗位跟踪。目的是为了帮助残疾人更好地适应岗位，并实现稳定就业。除此之外，我们还会为相关单位进行用工指导。我们也会跟相关部门一起支持像熊掌咖啡这样的残疾人创新创业项目。Last year, 380,000 disabled people in the country found new jobs, bringing the total number of employed disabled to 8.62 million. According to the country’s 14th Five-year Plan, an additional 2 million disabled people are expected to receive vocational training by 2025.去年大约有38万残障人士找到了新工作，我国受雇残障人士已达到862万。据我国第14个五年计划，在2025年前，额外的200万残障人士有望获得职业培训。3.ISRAELI COMMITTEE APPROVES NEW SETTLEMENT IN WEST BANK欲扩西岸定居点？巴以冲突再升温An Israeli governmental body approved more than 3,000 housing units for Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday.

They are located in the West Bank, a territory that Israel has controlled since the war of 1967. The Palestinians wish to build their future state on these lands.巴勒斯坦方面认为定居点住房问题是阻碍和平的主要障碍，国际社会的大多数成员也视以色列此举为非法行为。住房项目分布于约旦河西岸，该地区自1967年来一直被以色列占领。巴勒斯坦人希望将未来的巴勒斯坦国建设在这片土地上。Sabri Saidam, Deputy Secretary GeneralThe Fatah Central Committee萨布里·赛达姆 巴勒斯坦民族解放运动中央委员会副秘书长This is nothing but a declaration of war. It’s clear that Israel is intending, intentionally, to damage the will and the wish of the Palestinian people and their aspiration.这无疑是在宣战。很明显，以色列正蓄意摧毁巴勒斯坦人民的意志和愿望。This is the largest number of new homes to be approved since the inauguration of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s government in June. Bennett, the leader of the pro-settler Yamina party, leads a cross-partisan coalition government that includes parties that object to the expansion of the settlements.该项目是自以色列总理纳夫塔利·本内特六月份新组建政府以来批准过的最大数量的住房项目。本内特为右翼党派亚米纳的领导人，该党支持犹太人定居点建设。本内特目前领导着一个多党派联盟政府，其中包含反对定居点扩建的党派。#热词加油站acute [əˈkjuːt]【（疾病）急性的】expat 同 expatriate [ˌeksˈpeɪtriət]【移居外国的】rim [rɪm]【边沿】go-ahead [ˈɡoʊ əhed] 【许可】obstacle [ˈɑːbstəkl]【阻碍】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Sun Siqi has the details.首发“上海号”中欧班列已于今日（10月26日）顺利抵达德国最大港口城市汉堡。该直达货运班列于上月底从上海驶离。At 9am local time, the Shanghai Express, loaded with 50 containers of cargo, entered the Hamburg Bulverde freight station. As the largest port in Germany, Hamburg is also one of the largest terminals for China-Europe trade; nearly one-third of the containers are either going to or coming from China. Hamburg has also been one of Shanghai’s sister cities for 35 years.当地上午9点，满载着50个集装箱的中欧班列“上海号”抵达汉堡布尔弗德货运站。作为德国最大的港口城市，汉堡也是中欧贸易之间最大的终点站之一，近三分之一的集装箱贸易来往于中国。汉堡和上海是缔结了35年友好关系的姊妹城市。The cheaper and safer China-Euro freight trains are very popular as the pandemic has led to high prices for air and sea transport.由于疫情期间海运、空运价格飙升，更为低廉、安全的中欧火车货运方式广受欢迎。Michael WesthagenmannDeputy Mayor of Hamburg迈克尔·韦斯塔格曼 汉堡副市长We learned how important it is to have a shorter and faster mode of transport between China and Germany during the pandemic. I hope that the scope of train operations will be expanded in the next few years.我们在疫情中体会到中德之间更短、更快的运输方式有多么重要。我希望在接下来的几年，列车运营范围还能够扩大。Before the opening of the 4th China International Import Expo, a train from Hamburg arrived in Shanghai carrying exhibits from Germany. 在第四届中国国际进口博览会即将召开之际，搭载着部分展品的一列货车从汉堡驶来，已于日前抵达上海。Wang Wei, Deputy Consul GeneralChinese Consulate General in Hamburg王玮 中国驻汉堡副总领事I think Germany is aware that China aims to demonstrate its firm determination to maintain economic globalization and trade liberalization through the expo, and I believe that this will help Hamburg to participate in the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative.我觉得德国也意识到了，中国其实通过进博会、通过其他很多措施，实际是在展现我们维持经济全球化和贸易自由化的坚定决心。相信这（班列开通）有助于汉堡更全面、更深入地参与我们共建"一带一路"。There will be one trip per week this year, and more trains will be added in the future. It is expected that 500 China-Euro freight trains will depart【离开；起程】 from Shanghai annually. 该班列目前每周开行一次，之后将逐步增加开行频次，预计将来每年达到500次发车量。3.SHANGHAI TO HOST SHIPPING FORUM2021北外滩国际航运论坛将在沪开幕The 20-21 North Bund Forum will take place from November 3rd to 5th and is being organized by the Shanghai government and the Ministry of Transportation.

China is now the second largest financial contributor to both the United Nations and US peacekeeping operations. It has been among the first countries to meet the UN Millennium Development Goals, and has taken the lead in implementing【贯彻，落实】 the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. China has acted in the spirit of the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and made major contributions to human rights progress in China and the international human rights cause.习近平表示，新中国恢复在联合国合法席位以来的50年，中国人民始终维护联合国权威和地位，同联合国合作日益深化，已经成为第二大联合国会费国、第二大维和摊款国。中国率先实现联合国千年发展目标，带头落实2030年可持续发展议程。中国始终遵循联合国宪章和《世界人权宣言》精神，为中国人权进步和国际人权事业作出了重大贡献。Xi pointed out that changes unseen in a century are accelerating, and the push for peace, development and progress has continued to grow.

HIGH VALUED ART PIECES TO BE INTRODUCED AT THIS YEAR'S CIIE进博会设立新展区，世界艺术珍品走进上海The fourth China International Import Expo will open a new section for cultural artifacts. The first shipment arrived today and underwent comprehensive security checks. Lei Shuran has more.第四届中国国际进口博览会将为文物艺术品设立新的展区。首批展品今日（10月25日）抵沪，并完成了全面的入境安全查验。One of the highlights of the exhibits is "Beatrice Hastings" a painting by well-known Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani. Created in 1915, the painting worth over 100 million yuan is considered as the most expensive painting in the cultural artifact section of this year’s import expo.展品中的一大亮点便是意大利著名艺术家莫迪利安尼的人物肖像画《门前的阿特丽斯·哈斯丁》。这幅画创作于1915年，价值超过1亿元，被认为是本届进博会参展价值最高的文物类展品。Zhuang Jun, Asian Contemporary Art Dept.Christie’s庄俊，佳士得亚洲现代艺术拍卖主管The painting has been displayed more than a dozen times in several art museums around the world and also has been published several times. Since collections of Modigliani’s paintings are very limited, we feel very lucky to bring one of his pieces to the expo.这张作品也是在全世界各大美术馆展览了十多次，出版几十次。这一两年上拍的莫迪利安尼并不多，因为实在量太少，所以这次我们能把这幅作品带到中国上海进博会，非常幸运。Apart from Modigliani’s painting, Christie’s will also showcase other pieces from artists Zhang Daqian, Camille Pissarro, and Francesco Guardi.除了莫迪利安尼的画作外，佳士得还带来了张大千、毕沙罗和瓜尔迪的作品。In order to promote the importation of cultural artifacts through the CIIE, Shanghai Customs has implemented preferential【优惠的】 tax policies for up to 5 items. The import procedure has also been modified; previously, overseas cultural items and artwork could only stay in the country for up to 6 months, they then needed to exit, re-apply and re-enter the country. The new regulations maintain the 6-month rule, but allow exhibitors to apply for multiple extensions after each 6-month period expires.为了通过进博会促进文物艺术品进口，上海海关允许每个展商享受5件以内税收优惠政策，并免征进口关税、进口环节增值税和消费税。原本境外文物艺术品在进境6个月后，必须出境后再重新申请办理入境。新的规定保留了文物艺术品6个月的进境有效期，但每6个月有效期期满后，可以多次延期。Li JingSH Administration of Cultural Heritage李晶，上海市文物局文物保护管理处副处长The CIIE offers a great opportunity for buyers and exhibitors to have more high-valued international trade exchange.进博会这个平台确实为我们上海打造国际重要艺术品交易中心，有一个比较好的提升。So far, a total of 20 organizations from 11 countries and regions have applied to exhibit 178 pieces at the expo, representing a total value of approximately 1.1 billion yuan.目前，共有来自11个国家和地区的境外机构确认参加第四届进博会，申报展品178件，总货值约11亿元。3.

1. NATIONAL PARKS PROJECT ENTERS CONSTRUCTION PHASEThe country’s first five national parks have been selected, according to officials from the National Forestry and Grassland Administration and Research Institute for National Parks. Song Wenjing has more.The five national parks are: Three-River-Source National Park, Giant Panda National Park, Northeast China Tiger and Leopard National Park, Hainan Tropical Forests National Park, and Wuyishan National Park. With a protected land area of 230,000 square kilometers, the parks are home to nearly 30 percent of key terrestrial wildlife species found in the country. Authorities said the project has moved from pilot to construction phase.Li Chunliang, Deputy DirectorNational Forestry and Grassland AdministrationWe have achieved basic protection of key ecological areas, which covers their ecosystems and natural landscapes, as well as cultural heritage in the area. This offers protection to the country’s most important flagship species.实现了重要生态区域的整体保护，涵盖了所在区域典型自然生态系统，以及珍贵的自然景观和文化遗产，保护了最具影响力的旗舰物种。Authorities said establishing the national parks is just the beginning, and the next step is to manage them well. More natural education and science popularization bases will be built for people to go camping and hiking.Tang Xiaoping, PresidentResearch Institute for National ParksThe national parks will set reasonable limits on daily visitor capacity and require a reservation. Most of the parks are public welfare projects, which will likely be free. For business projects, we will calculate the cost and charge less money.国家公园里将根据环境容量，合理确定每年或者每天访客承载的数量，建立门票预约制度。原则上公益性项目可能都是免费的，经营性项目实行特许经营，根据每个项目特点核算成本 少收费。Tang said the next step is to adopt targeted ecological protection and restoration measures in order to solve specific problems within each national park.2. DEMAND RISES FOR FLU SHOTSDemand has increased for flu shots, which doctors say significantly reduce the risk of infection and serious complications. But clinic operators say there is nothing to worry about as there are enough shots for those who want one. Song Wenjing once again.At the health service center in Yuyuan sub-district in Huangpu District, Mr. Zheng took his 5-year-old grandson to get a flu shot after the weather turned cooler.Mr. ZhengI asked for leave today just get a flu vaccine since the temperature cooled down.今天特地请假出来打的，天气冷了，预防预防。Mrs. ZhangIt’s getting colder. I think it’s necessary to get a flu shot to boost my immunity.最近天气突然降温，环境温度都变得很低。大家抵抗力免疫力都会下降，所以来打个疫苗，增强一下自身抵抗力。Doctors said the influenza virus spreads fast via droplets and human contact. Flu symptoms include fever, pain, fatigue and respiratory tract infection and noted that the flu is very different to a common cold.Xie Qing, DirectorInfectious Disease Department, Ruijin HospitalIf you show symptoms all over the body like fatigue, muscle soreness and bad appetite, it is more likely to be influenza. People aged 60 and above, children between 6 months and 12 years old, and people with chronic diseases are good candidates for a flu shot.如果有全身症状，就是全身乏力，肌肉酸痛，甚至胃口不好。那我们一定可能还是考虑是一个流感。感染的高风险人群就是一个易感人群，包括超过60岁以上的老年人，还有是年纪轻的、6个月到12岁以下的儿童，还有就是原来有一些慢性基础疾病的人。Dr. Xie said the best treatment time is 48 hours. People with the flu should go to hospital for treatment as soon as possible. According to the World Health Organization, about 5 to 10 percent of adults and 20 to 30 percent of children are infected with seasonal flu every year.3.CIIE VOLUNTEERS ATTEND OATH-TAKING CEREMONYMore than 4,700 people attended an oath-taking ceremony today ahead of being volunteers during the China International Import Expo next month. Some of them were at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai, while others watched online. Zhang Hong tells us more.4,746 CIIE volunteers from 40 universities in Shanghai will begin their official CIIE duties in 15 days. 81% of them are under the age of 21. 30% of them have also worked as pandemic control volunteers. Chen Yang, a freshman at Tongji University, worked as a volunteer to help with pandemic control efforts in Hubei and Xinjiang.Chen Yang, StudentTongji UniversityI also submitted my application letter to join the CPC, while signing up as a CIIE volunteer.

Some companies said the benefits can be seen after participating in past expos. Zhang Yue has more.Xu Wenyong’s global trade company has been at three straight events. Xu said the Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee that it introduced at previous fairs has been popular. Reputed to be one of the best-tasting coffees in the world, Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is rare in the market due to strict growing conditions, industry regulations, and small annual harvests.Xu Wenyong, GMShanghai Wallenford Blue Gobal Trade Co.Jamaica has great confidence in the Chinese market via the CIIE, and our company is happy to offer more coffee to China. Before the first CIIE three years ago, we imported 1,000 to 2,000 kilograms, but now it can reach 4,000 kilograms.通过进博会，牙买加对中国市场的信心进一步增强了，更愿意把更多的出口的份额，分到我们中国市场。进博会以前可能一年的进口量应该是1到2吨，现在可以到2到4吨的样子。Items made of alpaca fur from Peru also found its way to the Chinese market. At this shopping mall on Huaihai Road, stuffed toys and other products made of alpaca fur attracted many people. The company had a booth at the first CIIE and over the past few years it has set up stores in cities such as Beijing, Chengdu, and Shanghai.Ma YuxiaFounder of WarmpacaThis year we are going to display more accessories, and lanthern carpet that is handmade by craftsmen in Peru. Our products are becoming more mature with better quality through CIIE participation. We are also gradually building our customer base.今年我们带来了更多的羊驼毛的配饰产品，另外我们还带来了秘鲁当地工人精心手工拼接的皮毯，我们的产品也更成熟了，质量更好了，我们的客户基础也有了，所以肯定会借助进博会的东风。我们的事业会越来越好的。The Shanghai government said the fair also helps attract more foreign funded projects to the city.Zhang Guohua, Deputy DirectorShanghai Commission of CommerceWe are confident in saying that the CIIE will improve Shanghai’s image, economy, and quality of life.我们期待第四届进博会对于我们上海的经济升级、老百姓生活水平的提高、包括城市软实力的提高，都带来更大的溢出带动效应。The city’s foreign trade was valued last year at 1.2 trillion US dollars, 3.6% of the world’s total, according to the Shanghai Commission of Commerce.5.WUZHEN OLD TOWN CARNIVAL BRINGS THEATRICAL EXTRAVAGANZAFor theatre lovers, the theatre feast at Wuzhen Theatre Festival would probably give you a decidophobia, as all of Wuzhen is a huge stage for all kinds of theatre troupes to show their talents. The Old Town Carnival there is unmissable as the bright and lively mood of the performers will cheer up everyone that follows their steps. Just follow Stephen and me to check out more theatrical highlights in Wuzhen.Wang YinICS ReporterHey, come on, Stephen. It's your first time at the Wuzhen Theatre Festival, right？Stephen RancourtICS ReporterYes. It's not my first time in Wuzhen, but the first time at the Wuzhen Theatre Festival.Wang YinICS ReporterOkay. Everything is so crazy here, but it's not just about the theatre. We've got more to offer at the Old Town Carnival.Stephen RancourtICS ReporterYes, that's right. I was told that there's all kinds of performances just tucked away everywhere.If you're walking down the streets, there's puppet shows, dance shows, interactive type of performances where people can join in with the crew. It's bound to be interesting.Wang YinICS ReporterGood, very detailed. Your job is just to be relaxed, be open to everything here. Let's go?Stephen RancourtICS ReporterAlright, I'll do my best.Wang YinICS ReporterOkay, let's go!The Wuzhen Old Town Carnival is just like a grand immersive theater, attracting visitors to join in on the fun. All of Wuzhen is a stage, and you can experience a variety of different street performances here anytime during the festival. Be sure to check the official schedules to find your favorite shows. Let's wander around for a bit and see what we can do. Be ready… You could be invited to dance at any moment.Wang YinICS ReporterIt's cute!I had to drag Stephen into dancing by force! Don't be shy, just dance like nobody is watching! And…all of a sudden, you can jump into a large crowd.Wang YinICS ReporterOh no. it's too far away.Performers in outlandish costumes walk through narrow, flagstone-paved lanes on stilts.Wang YinICS ReporterYou know, its' very hard as they have to use their knees as lower legs.Everybody is invited to roam the alleys of this 1300-year-old town, and they can feel a huge sense of contrast between the environment and performances. Physical plays are very popular at the carnival. Without any spoken words, artists are working on more possibilities to express their emotions and ideas to the public.Li JingtaoDirector of Performance "SI"Wuzhen is quite open to theatre groups like us. Here, we can focus on only our play. For me, traditional play is pretty much like a movie, as it tells stories to audience in a direct way. Physical theatre is like a novel, leaving blank space for audience. When the blank space meets the audience's own experiences, they might feel touched. We want to tell our story in an implicit way. Each role's facial expression mask represents each one's personality.Performer of "SI"The role I play is a gentleman, who is a leader of a team in our play.Switch off your cell phones, relax and lose yourself. Don't try to look for an answer or an ending to the performance, what really matters is being open and leaving some time for it to sink in. There're also some traditional cultural elements in the old town carnival, these lively puppets really caught our attention. The performance earned huge applause from the spectators. That made me and Stephen also want to give it a shot.Wang YinICS ReporterWe're gonna try this, try to control the puppets.SUBTITLEPlease show us how to control the puppet.Okay.These two strings in the front are for legs.Moving them can control both puppet legs.So it is with yours.Where are the strings?Here they are.You can move the left and then the right leg.Wang YinICS ReporterShe moves.Stephen RancourtICS ReporterA very very complicated monkey puppet.It's probably got two dozen strings hanging off it.In this puppet, they've made it quite lifelike. It's quite something.Hong JindiaoArt Director of Litchi Youth TroupeTraditional puppets have 16 strings, which is basic. With 16 strings, we can do some basic movements on the stage like doing gestures and pondering. But our puppets with more strings can do varied movements. This puppet head is a traditional one, with eyes and mouth fixed on the face. But an innovative puppet head has mobilizable eyes and mouth.Here in Wuzhen, the audience is also part of the show. So how do the visitors here feel about the carnival vibe?VisitorEverything is lively here. In recent years, we see more and more types of avantgarde theatre appear in China. Both of us came back from abroad last year, and now we see quite a lot of surprises.VisitorI walked along the streets and then came across the carnival here. I really want to interact with the performers. The energy here is really nice.Wang YinICS ReporterHey Stephen, as a surprise, I DIYed on postcard of us dancing for you.Stephen RancourtICS ReporterOkay, great. It's my fondest memory of being here. What's this squegging line here?Wang YinICS ReporterThat's my voice, voice message.Stephen RancourtICS ReporterSo if they scan that QR, they can hear that voice message.Wang YinICS ReporterDefinitely.Stephen RancourtICS ReporterI'll put a short little message. There you go.Wang YinICS ReporterLet me see. Good times in Wuzhen!

GETTING TO KNOW THE CHINESE CALENDARLike!中国节 | 举个栗子！霜降必吃美食大家好，今天是霜降。Frost’s Descent marks the transition from autumn to winter. 霜降，是秋天的最后一个节气，也意味着冬天的开始。This is a wonderful time to enjoy maple leaves as they turn yellow, orange or red. Nearly all the tourist websites list the best sites to see maple leaves during this time. 霜降是赏枫的好时节，此时的枫叶经霜打之后染上了黄色、橙色和红色，美不胜收。几乎各大旅游网站都会发布最佳赏枫地的榜单。In ancient times Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu wrote about mountainous scenery: I stopped the coach as charmed by the maple woods; Frosted autumn leaves outshine February flowers in redness. 唐代诗人杜牧曾写诗描绘山间秋色，“停车坐爱枫林晚，霜叶红于二月花” 。If you think there isn’t anywhere in Shanghai to enjoy the beauty of red maple leaves, think again！In Langxia Town of Jinshan District, Maple Island covers an area of 200,000 square meters and is an ideal maple-viewing spot. Qiuxia Garden in Shanghai’s Jiading District was built in the Ming Dynasty and is one of 5 famous classical gardens in the city. In autumn, the leaves of its maple trees turn red, attracting visitors to take photos. 如果你认为上海没有什么地方可以观赏枫林尽染的美景，那你就错了！金山区廊下镇占地20万平方米的枫叶岛就是个赏枫的好去处。位于上海市嘉定区的明代园林秋霞圃，是上海五大古典园林之一。每当秋霞圃里的枫叶转红时，许许多多的游客都会来此拍照。During Frost’s Descent, the day and night temperature gap widen to more than 10 degrees Celsius. Just remember to stay warm, and pay attention to weather changes, because…魔都的天气，你懂的！霜降节气，昼夜温差加大，有时甚至会在10摄氏度以上。大家记得要做好保暖工作，注意气候变化，因为……魔都的天气，你懂的！The transition between seasons means you have to carefully look after your health. A saying goes like “补冬不如补霜降”，so here is a great suggestion. 季节交替时，养生很重要。正如民间谚语说的，“补冬不如补霜降”。Chestnuts during Frost's Descent are considered beneficial to one's health. Chestnuts have a warm nature and sweet flavor, and are good for nourishing the spleen and stomach, invigorating the circulation of blood and relieving coughs, according to traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. 霜降进补宜吃栗子。中医认为，栗子性温味甘，能滋养脾胃、活血止咳。Though chestnuts are not a Shanghai specialty, people here do love them. There are many shops and stands selling sugar-roasted chestnuts at this time of year. The chestnuts in Shanghai are the smaller variety with thin shells, making peeling them with the fingers quite easy. 栗子不是上海特产，但上海人却有栗子情结。这个时节，上海许多店铺都会卖起糖炒栗子。上海的栗子个头较小且皮薄，可以用手轻轻松松剥开。Chestnut cake was in fact created in Shanghai. An authentic chestnut cake should contain only chestnut paste with no flour at all. At the same time, there is a signature dish of Shanghai cuisine, braised pork with chestnuts. All of these are absolutely yummy, but don’t be greedy and overdo it. 栗子蛋糕可以说是一种老上海味道。正宗的栗子蛋糕没有一点面粉，全部由栗子泥堆成。上海还有一道招牌菜——栗子红烧肉。虽然栗子做的美食十分诱人，但不要贪嘴多吃哦。寒霜轻轻降，冬阳徐徐近。愿霜降安康，无忧无愁。

The experimental procedure【手术】 is providing hope that transplants like this could be a major step in solving the shortage of organs available for transplant. Sun Siqi tells us more.美国医生成功将猪的肾脏移植到人体。此台实验手术的成功有望解决器官供体不足的难题。The operation was done last month at New York University’s Langone Health, one of the country’s top academic medical centers. The pig’s genes were altered so that it no longer contained a molecule known to cause immediate rejection by the human body. The patient was brain-dead and had signs of kidney problems. Her family agreed to the experiment before she was scheduled to be taken off life support. For over two days, the kidney was attached to her blood vessels. It was kept outside her body so that researchers could observe it. 美国最为顶尖的学术医学研究院之一——纽约大学兰贡医疗中心上月实施了该手术。这颗肾脏来自一头实施过基因改造的猪，因此其器官组织内不再含有引发排质现象的物质。接受该台手术的患者为脑死亡病人，其身体出现了肾衰竭迹象。其家人同意在对病人停止生命支持前，进行肾脏移植实验。自术后两天来，为方便医生观察，猪肾一直与患者的大腿血管相连。Robert Montgomery Director of Transplant Institute, NYU Langone Health蒙哥马力纽约大学兰贡医疗中心外科医生First of all, it made, you know, lots of urine, like the amount of urine that you would expect from a human kidney being transplanted into someone. For the 54 hours that we conducted the study, the kidney function perfectly. 首先，猪肾产生大量尿液。排尿水平与移植的人类肾脏相当。在54小时的试验过程里，该肾脏运作相当正常。The organ did what a kidney is supposed to do. It filtered waste, produced urine and didn’t trigger【触发】rejection.猪肾有着人的肾脏一样的功能——过滤废物，产生尿液，并没有触发任何排异反应。Robert Montgomery Director of Transplant Institute, NYU Langone Health蒙哥马力纽约大学兰贡医疗中心外科医生The idea is we would need to identify individuals who have a really low likelihood of being offered a human kidney and have a poor prognosis on dialysis. And where even two years or a year of a functioning kidney would be an important thing. 我们的想法是来帮助那些不太可能获得人类肾脏的人，以及透析效果不佳的人。哪怕是拥有一两年能运作的[猪的]肾脏，对这些人来说也是弥足珍贵的。Nearly 107,000 people are currently waiting for organ transplants and more than 90,000 are waiting for a kidney in the US. It can take three to five years for patients to receive a kidney transplant. The scientists involved in this experiment say trials with pig kidneys on critically-ill humans could happen within two years. 目，约10.7万美国病患等待器官移植，其中超9万人等待肾脏移植。为了匹配肾脏，患者可能要等待3-5年。参与此次实验的科学家们表示，有望在两年内实现对肾衰竭晚期患者的猪肾移植手术。#热词加油站shattered [ˈʃætərd] 【粉粹的】power outage [ˈpaʊər aʊtɪdʒ]【停电；断电事故】undergo [ˌʌndərˈɡoʊ]【经历；经受】procedure [prəˈsiːdʒər]【手术】trigger [ˈtrɪɡər]【触发】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Zhang Yue has more.第四届中国进口博览会进入15天倒计时。这项国际盛事吸引了全球各地的公司纷纷在上海落地，以提高企业在中国市场的影响力，部分公司表示进博会的溢出效应已逐渐显现。Xu Wenyong’s global trade company has been at three straight events. Xu said the Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee that it introduced at previous fairs has been popular. Reputed to be one of the best-tasting coffees in the world, Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is rare in the market due to strict growing conditions, industry regulations, and small annual harvests.徐文勇的国际贸易公司已经参加了三届进博会。徐表示，之前自己带去参展的牙买加蓝山咖啡正在国内市场逐渐走俏。牙买加蓝山咖啡是世界上口味最佳的咖啡之一，但是由于种植条件严苛，以及受到行业规范和产量的限制，正宗的牙买加蓝山咖啡在市场上极为少见。Xu Wenyong, General ManagerShanghai Wolunfen International Trade Co.,Ltd.徐文勇 上海沃伦芬国际贸易公司总经理Jamaica has great confidence in the Chinese market via the CIIE, and our company is happy to offer more coffee to China. Before the first CIIE three years ago, we imported 1,000 to 2,000 kilograms, but now it can reach 4,000 kilograms.通过进博会，牙买加对中国市场的信心，进一步增强了。更愿意把更多的出口的份额，分到我们中国市场。进博会以前可能一年的进口量，应该是1到2吨，现在可以到2到4吨的样子。Items made of alpaca fur from Peru also found its way to the Chinese market. At this shopping mall on Huaihai Road, stuffed toys and other products made of alpaca fur attracted many people. The company had a booth at the first CIIE and over the past few years it has set up stores in cities such as Beijing, Chengdu, and Shanghai.同样小众的秘鲁羊驼毛制品也通过进博会找到了打开中国市场的钥匙。位于上海淮海路的这家商场，上个月迎来了一个新品牌入驻，里面销售的，全是用羊驼毛手工制作的各类玩偶和摆件。创立该品牌的公司曾经参加过首届进博会，而在之后几年中，它先后成功在北京、成都、上海等地开出了自己的线下门店。Ma Yuxia, founderWarmpaca马玉霞 秘鲁Warmpaca品牌创始人This year we are going to display more accessories【配件】, and lantern carpet that is handmade by craftsmen in Peru. Our products are becoming more mature with better quality through CIIE participation. We are also gradually building our customer base. 今年我们带来了更多的，羊驼毛的配饰产品。另外我们还带来了，秘鲁当地工人精心手工拼接的皮毯。我们的产品也更成熟了，质量更好了，我们的客户基础也有了，所以肯定会借助进博会的东风，我们的事业会越来越好。The Shanghai government said the fair also helps attract more foreign funded projects to the city. 上海市政府表示，进博会的成功举办也为推动更多外资项目在上海的落地实施起到了关键性作用。Zhang Guohua, Deputy DirectorShanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce张国华 上海市商务委副主任We are confident in saying that the CIIE will improve Shanghai’s image, economy, and the quality of life.我们期待第四届进博会在不到20天里面即将举办，对于我们上海的经济升级，老百姓生活水平的提高，包括城市软实力的提高，都带来更大的溢出带动效应。The city’s foreign trade was valued last year at 1.2 trillion US dollars, 3.6% of the world’s total, according to the Shanghai Commission of Commerce. 根据上海市商务委的数据，去年，上海口岸进出口贸易额达1.2万亿美元，占到了全球的3.6%比例份额。3.

Lei Shuran tells us more. 北京时间10月19日，在雅典帕纳辛奈科斯体育场举行的火种交接仪式中，奥运圣火正式转交至2022年北京冬奥会代表团手中，踏上飞往北京的旅程！Three torchbearers 【火炬手】 from China and Greece took part in the handover ceremony. Former Chinese aerial skier Li Nina ran a lap with the torch before passing it to the Greek Olympic Ski Champion Paraskevi Ladopoulou, who lit the flame. 来自中国和希腊两国的三位火炬手参与了交接仪式。中国前滑雪运动员李妮娜接过火炬, 绕场地奔跑一圈后，将火炬传递给希腊女滑雪运动员帕拉斯凯维·拉多普卢，后者随后点燃圣火。Vice president of the IOC and Beijing 2022 Olympics Yu Zaiqing promised a simple, safe and excellent Olympic Games in his address to the ceremony.国际奥委会副主席、北京冬奥组委副主席于再清在采集仪式上发表致辞，保证冬奥会的顺利举行，做到简约、安全、精彩。Yu Zaiqing, Vice PresidentInternational Olympic Committee于再清，国际奥委会副主席As you may recall, it was right here 13 years ago on March 30, 2008 that the Olympic flame was handed over to Beijing for the first time. Thanks to the support of the people of the world, China delivered an extraordinary summer Olympics. In a short while, the Olympic flame will be passed on to Beijing for the second time. As a symbol of the Olympic spirit, the Olympic flame will travel to the Great Wall and across other parts of China, bringing with it the light of peace and friendship.2008年3月30日，我们在这里接过北京奥运会的火种，距今已经过去13年了。北京与全世界人民一道举办了一届无与伦比的奥运会。此刻我们又接过北京冬奥会的火种，承载着奥林匹克精神的火种将再次在长城内外展示传递，在中国大地上绽放和平和友谊的光芒。Hellenic Olympic Committee President Spyros Capralos then passed the sacred flame to Yu Zaiqing at the handover ceremony.希腊奥委会主席卡普拉洛斯在交接仪式上将圣火传递给于再清。Spyros Capralos, PresidentHellenic Olympic Committee卡普拉洛斯希腊奥委会主席For Beijing to host both Summer and Winter Olympic Games, it’s an Olympic record.

BACKSTAGE WITH WORLD HIP-HOP CHAMPIONS燃！幕后一瞥：世界冠军教你跳街舞The "Street dance of China" is ongoing at Youku.com with the competition quickly eliminating pretenders to leave only the top dancers, many of them veterans at the world street dance championships. Reporter Sun Siqi brought us some of their backstage secrets to those dazzling dance steps.《这!就是街舞4》正在优酷热播。各路舞者同台竞技，逐鹿群雄，劣汰优胜。记者孙思奇为我们带来幕后的精彩报道。Sun Siqi, ICS Reporter孙思奇, ICS记者“Today we’re going inside this top-secret backstage area, and we’re meeting the grande maitre of street dance, Rochka from France.今天我们要来到神秘的幕后一探究竟。让我们和来自法国的街舞大神Rochka聊一聊。It’s like plunging into hip-hop Emerald City with hyper intense colors and music from the underworld. “Oooh, evidently this is where they do the battle and tear each other apart on stage.”跟随来自地底世界炫目的色彩、激情的音乐，我好像是一头扎进了嘻哈音乐的翡翠之城。哇哦，这一定就是他们斗舞争霸的地方了。Out of the haze, and onto the street ...走出迷雾，走向街头。Sun Siqi, ICS Reporter孙思奇, ICS记者This is it, this is about to be the baddest moment of my professional career. Bonjour, Rochka, Comment allez vous? Teach me the easiest move.没跑了，这一定是我职业生涯中最酷炫的一瞬间。“嗨，Rochka. 你好吗?来教我几个简单的舞步吧。”Rochka, Dancer from FranceRochka，法国舞者I would say, let’s start with the crisscross. Basically, strong on your feet, and you’re going to jump and cross. Come back ...And watch your attitude ...You need to look cool, take it easy, and be ready, exactly, yeah.“嗯…我们从crisscross舞步学起好了。动作基本上是这样，站稳，跳起来，双脚交叉，再回来…注意你的姿势。”“你要摆出一副酷酷的样子，放轻松，准备好。对，就是这样。”Sun Siqi, ICS Reporter孙思奇, ICS记者Now lights out, and put it to the test ... Given my level of physicality, my moves looked less like Hip-Hop, more like Hopscotch.灯灭。挑战开始。鉴于我的肢体协调能力，我的舞步看起来一点也不“嘻哈”，更像是小孩子在玩跳房子游戏。But after today, one understands that street dance can be as friendly to a beginner as any other dance. With Breaking entering the Olympics starting at the 2024 Paris Games, the image of street dancing is slowly shifting in China from a subculture to a sport that takes an equal amount of skill and precision【精确性】 as diving and gymnastics, and a form of art that transcends【超越】 barriers, like music.经过今天的一番体验，我了解到街舞和其他舞种一样，初学者上手都很容易。随着霹雳舞在2024年举办的法国巴黎奥运会中正式成为一项体育赛事，街舞在中国的印象也在慢慢变化。原来处于“亚文化”地位的街舞转变成了一项和跳水、体操一样讲求技巧、精准性的运动。街舞，像音乐一样，超越界限，成为了一项艺术。Rochka, Dancer from FranceRochka，法国舞者The real sense for me of the hip-hop culture is to communicate with someone who don’t speak your language but who don’t share the same opinion as you. I would say that was the way to share with people and reunite people, a way to talk without fighting, without screaming, without arguments.嘻哈文化对我而言意味着和说着不同语言、有着不同思想的人进行交流。我认为这是人与人之间的分享、交融，嘻哈文化是一种没有打斗、没有吼叫和争吵的对话方式。Li Chunlin, Dancer& ChoreographerLi Chunlin，舞者&编舞者I learned Popping when I started dancing, I had a teacher. It’s not like now, where everybody knows it. Back then, dancers faced a bit of criticism, people thought street dance was for the bad kids. But now, people understand it as a positive dynamic form of dance that builds confidence. And now one contestant, Yang Kai, has just been named coach for Sichuan’s provincial Breaking team.我是学机械舞（popping）入门跳舞的，有个老师教我。那时不像现在，现在人人都知道街舞。那会儿，学跳舞的总是要面对一些质疑，人们总觉得跳街舞的都是坏小孩。如今，越来越多的人知道街舞是种充满活力的舞蹈形式，还有助于建立自信。Yang Kai作为参赛选手，已经被选定为四川霹雳舞省队的教练了。Yang Kai DancerYang Kai，舞者The dancers started training two months ago, and they’re on eating and practice schedules just like athletes. All of a sudden, they went from street to professional sportsmanship. With Breaking becoming an Olympic event, dancers can achieve the same physical extremities like any other sports.舞者们已经训练了两个月了，他们有着和运动员一样的饮食和训练安排。突然之间，他们摇身一变，从街头走向了职业运动员的道路。随着霹雳舞被确立为一项奥运赛事，舞者们和其他运动项目的竞技健儿一样，不断挑战自我，突破生理极限。This season of "Street dance of China" encourages creative renditions【演绎】 of street dances that aren’t just a pile of techniques. Check out MT Pop’s routine inspired by extra-terrestrial【地球外的】 monsters, and Ma Xiaolong’s pieces based on Chinese chess and the guqin.《街舞4》鼓励参赛选手推陈出新，创意演绎。来看看MT Pop从外星生物上启发而来舞步吧，还有Ma Xiaolong基于中国象棋、古琴创作的作品。Ma Xiaolong Dancer&ChoreographerMa Xiaolong，舞者&编舞者In my mind, Chinese-style street dance is not simply dancing to a Chinese song or wearing Chinese costumes. The routine needs to be based on street dance techniques, like isolation, slow-mo, body control. And it needs to grab the essence that is in Chinese culture and aesthetics, and not just have the look of it.在我看来，中国风的街舞不仅仅是伴着中国风的歌曲或者是穿着古代服饰跳舞。舞步要生根于基本的街舞技巧，比如“分离”，“慢动作”，“身体控制”。此外，它需要抓住中国文化和中国美学的精髓，而不是仅仅有个表象。Like gymnastic floor routines and artistic swimming, who knows, maybe one day, you’ll see street-dance pieces inspired by "Journey to the West" or "Mulan" at the Olympics.正如体操动作和水上芭蕾一样，也许在将来的某天，你会在奥运会上看到以《西游记》和《花木兰》为灵感来源的街舞作品。3.CHINA’S AMBASSDOR TO U.S. ADDRESSES GENERATION Z中国驻美大使：我也属于“Z世代”！The "Generation Z" China-US Youth Dialogue hosted by the China Public Diplomacy Association was held in Malipo County, Yunnan Province yesterday.

During the meeting, US official Joe Cobb also shared his story with China. During a visit to Yunnan in 2018, he had developed a plan in which some US teachers gave English lessons to the local students in Yunnan.秦希望中美两国青年都能为中美和世界的美好未来贡献力量。与会期间，美方官员代表乔•科布也分享了他和中国结下的缘分。2018年科布造访中国云南，期间他创立了一个项目，邀请美国老师给当地学生教授英语课。Joe Cobb, City Council MemberVirginia City of Roanoke, US.乔•科布美国弗吉尼亚州罗阿诺克市议员“It is my belief that even in difficult times globally, our people through our abiding belief and friendship, can overcome any obstacle【障碍】 as a way of growing our relationships with one another.”我相信，即使在全球困难时期，只要中美民众秉持对彼此友谊的坚定信念，就能克服任何障碍，发展友好关系。During the two-hour dialogue, youth representatives from China and the US including popular vloggers and entrepreneurs also shared their opinions on various topics such as the emerging industries in China and the US as well as sports and cultural exchanges.在长达两个小时的会谈中，来自中美双方的青少年代表、网红博主、企业家等分别发表了他们对新兴产业、运动和文化交流等众多领域的观点。#热词加油站torchbearer  ['tɔːtʃ,beərə] n. 【火炬手】precision [prɪˈsɪʒn] n. 【精度】transcend  [trænˈsend] v. 【超出，超越】rendition  [renˈdɪʃn] n. 【演绎】extra-terrestrial [ˈekstrə təˈrestriəl]  adj. 【地球外的】obstacle  [ˈɒbstəkl] n. 【障碍】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Once again, Zhang Yue has more.全国乘用车市场信息联席会数据显示，9月新能源乘用车零售销量达33.4万辆，同比增长超200%。The association said sales of new energy vehicles are expected to hit 3 million units this year. Tesla China said it delivered around 56,000 units in September, the most since it started production at its Shanghai manufacturing plant two years ago. 该协会表示，今年新能源汽车的销量有望达到300万辆。特斯拉（中国）数据显示，9月交付量为5.6万辆，创其在上海建厂以来交付量新高。INTERVIEW:Ji Yuhan, Sales Manager, Tesla季雨涵，特斯拉门店销售主管Our order volume is booked until the end of the year.

Our reporter Huang Yuanqing arrived on site early to get us a sneak peek【偷看，窥视】  at what this year’s festival has to offer. 众多演员、导演、观众及游客来到浙江乌镇，体验为期10 天的乌镇戏剧节，一起交流想法、分享灵感、欣赏戏剧。今年乌镇戏剧节有哪些惊喜？来随ICS记者先睹为快。Huang YuanqingReporterI’m now at the Wuzhen Grand Theater. It’s 10:30 in the morning, and I’m going to introduce some of my picks from this year’s performances before the crowds arrive. 现在是早上10:30，我在乌镇大剧院，我要在观众进场前向大家推荐几部我的心仪之作。Alright, to start with, the first play I’m recommending is this one, "Ago" by famous director Stan Lai. It’s a six-and-a-half-hour production, featuring five acts and a cast of over 200 roles, the play took Lai 10 years to write. I’ve watched part of it in Shanghai when it premiered at the Theater Above and it’s amazing!首先，我推荐大家看的第一部戏是著名导演赖声川的《曾经如是》。《曾经如是》长达六个半小时，包括五幕和 200 多个角色，赖导花费了10 年心血打磨剧本。我曾在上海上剧场观看部分情节，总之就是太棒了！Next up... is this modern Chinese play called "Sunrise" directed and performed by renowned 【著名的】dancer Jin Xing金星, who will challenge herself by playing two roles in this show. It is an adaptation of a play by the late Chinese playwright Cao Yu. I don’t know how you guys feel, but I am truly looking forward to it.下一步由著名舞蹈家金星导演并参演的现代中国戏剧《日出》。金星将在该剧中分饰两角，颇具挑战性。此剧改编于已故中国剧作家曹禺的同名话剧。我不知道你们怎么看，但我期待已久。OK, next, this one. Of course, you cannot miss this one, a remake of the French classic "The Red and the Black" by director Meng Jinghui. It’s also the opening performance of this year’s Festival which will be performed here tonight. OK, so those were some of my picks but there’s plenty more for you to choose from at this year’s Wuzhen festival.当然还不能错过由孟京辉戏剧工作室翻拍的法国经典片《红与黑》。它也将作为今年戏剧节的开幕表演，在乌镇大剧院上演。以上只是我的推荐，本次戏剧节还有其他优秀作品供戏剧爱好者选择。This year, hundreds of artistic groups and organizations from across China will display all kinds of theatrical performances that people can experience for free, almost every corner of this ancient water village will have something to offer.今年，来自全国各地的数百个艺术团体和组织将带来各种多样化文艺演出，游客可以免费观赏。在水乡乌镇，几乎每一个角落都有惊喜等待着人们去发掘。After a round of performances this afternoon, all the carnival groups have come all the way to courtyard in front of the Wuzhen Grand Theater, where the performers will give people a little taste of what they have in store for them. It’ll be like a big party. 经过下午的一轮表演，所有的表演队伍汇集于乌镇大剧院前的庭院，演员将在那里为观众带来一场豪华的视觉盛宴。So for those who want to enjoy the festival in person during the weekend, my advise is that please come as early as possible if you want to find a parking spot. And prepare for the weather, because Wuzhen is a lot cooler than Shanghai, and we are expecting showers over the weekend, so pack an umbrella and dress warm. 如有周末乘车游玩计划，请选择尽早出行。同时，留意天气情况，乌镇比上海要凉爽不少。本周末预报有阵雨，所以记得带好雨具，注意添衣。3. UK,US FACING LABOR SHORTAGES英国“猪满为患”？外籍“屠夫”临时签证派发中Britain announced it would offer six-month emergency visas to 800 foreign butchers yesterday to avoid a massive pig cull, after local farmers complained that many workers from abattoirs and meat processors had left the pork sector fighting for survival. Sun Siqi has more.英国屠夫和肉类加工人员为了生计，纷纷选择离开生猪加工行业，这令当地农民怨声连连。由于积压的待宰生猪过多，英国政府于10月14日宣布，将发放800份应急签证，从境外招募屠夫。Britain’s National Pig Association said a combination of Brexit and Covid-19 has sparked an exodus【（大批人同时）离开】of east European workers, leaving some 120,000 pigs in barns and fields across the country waiting to be slaughtered. The country’s Environment Secretary said the temporary visas for 800 foreign butchers would address the problem.英国国家养猪协会表示，"脱欧"以及新冠疫情导致英国流失大量来自东欧的工人。目前，全英积压的待宰生猪多达约12万头。英国环境部长表示，为应对该问题，将向境外招募屠夫发放800份应急签证。INTERVIEW:George Eustice, UK Environment Minister尤斯蒂斯，英国环境、食品与乡村事务大臣Well, what we’re going to do is allow butchers in abattoirs 【屠宰场】 and meat processors dealing with pigs to be able to come in on a temporary basis under the seasonal workers scheme for up to six months.我们要做的是，允许屠夫和肉类加工人员能够根据季节性用工计划，临时来到英国屠宰场工作，最长时间为6个月。The lack of butchers is just one of a number of areas where Britain is facing acute labor shortages. Last month, the British government announced its plans to issue temporary visas for 5,000 foreign truck drivers and 5,500 poultry workers. The ports in the US are also dealing with labor shortages. US President Joe Biden has announced that two of the country’s busiest ports--- that is the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach would expand a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week operation to unload an estimated 500,000 containers on cargo ships.缺少屠夫只是英国面临的劳动力缺口之一。上个月，英国政府宣布计划为 5000 名外国卡车司机和 5500名肉禽工人签发临时签证。同样缺人的，还有美国港口业。美国总统拜登日前下令，要求美国最大的两个港口洛杉矶港和长滩港实行一周7天、每天24小时的不间断工作制，以缓解港口货物拥堵。INTERVIEW:Gene Seroka, Executive Director, The Port of Los Angeles吉恩·沙洛卡 洛杉矶港执行主管So we’re moving as fast as possible. Retail goods that have to go through the omni channel distribution network to get to our doorstep or our store shelves. We’re only four and a half weeks away from Black Friday.我们正尽可能地加快清关速度，确保零售业商品尽快通过全渠道经销网络，抵达消费者的家门口或商店货架，毕竟我们距离今年的"黑五"采购季只剩四周半了。The two ports account for approximately 40 percent of the shipping containers entering the US. It was reported that there were 62 ships berthed at the two ports with another 81 waiting to dock and unload. 这两个港口约占进入美国的海运集装箱的40%。据悉，目前有62艘船舶停靠在这两个港口，另有81艘等待靠岸卸货。#热词加油站soared [sɔːr]【上涨；猛增】exodus [ˈeksədəs]【（大批人同时）离开】abattoirs [ˈæbətwɑːr] 【屠宰场】renowned [rɪˈnaʊnd]【著名的】peek [piːk]【偷看，窥视】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

1.CHINA TO SEND ANOTHER 3 ASTRONAUTS TO SPACE今晚！神舟十三号新“太空三人组”将启程，工期加倍2."TIME BANK" PROVING TO BE VIABLE SOLUTION IN ELDERLY CARE把时间存进“银行”，陪你慢慢变老3.STAR TREK’S SHATNER BECOMES WORLD’S OLDEST SPACE TRAVELER“星际迷航”舰长，90高龄勇闯太空-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1.CHINA TO SEND ANOTHER 3 ASTRONAUTS TO SPACE今晚！神舟十三号新“太空三人组”将启程，工期加倍Another three astronauts will board Shenzhou-13 and blast off into space at 12:23am on Saturday. The spaceship will dock with the country’s space station, where the trio will stay in orbit for six months. 神舟十三号载人飞船将搭载新“太空出差三人组”，于本周六（16日）0时23分发射。飞船将前往中国空间站，三名航天员将在轨驻留6个月。Shenzhou-13 will be propelled【驱动】into space on a Long March-2F carrier rocket. After entering orbit, it will dock【对接】 with the space station. The astronauts will be there for six months in what will be the longest space mission ever for Chinese astronauts. 此次任务，由长征二号F遥十三火箭搭载神舟十三号载人飞船，进行发射。神舟十三号飞船入轨后，将与空间站交会对接。三位航天员将在太空停留半年时间，刷新我国载人航天的最长飞行时间记录。INTERVIEW：Lin Xiqiang, Deputy Director, China Manned Space Agency林西强，中国载人航天工程办公室副主任The space station and its equipment are functioning well ahead of the arrival of the Shenzhou-13 crew members. The crew is in good condition, and all pre-launch preparations are in order.目前，天和核心舱与天舟二号、天舟三号组合体状态和各项设备工作正常，具备交会对接与航天进驻条件。执行神舟十三号飞行任务的航天员飞行乘组状态良好，发射前各项准备工作已基本就绪。The three astronauts selected for the mission are Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu. In 2008, Zhai became the first Chinese astronaut to do a spacewalk. Ye is the first Chinese astronaut to complete a survival training session organized by the European Space Agency and will go to space for the first time. Wang gave a lecture from space during a 2013 mission and will become the first female astronaut on the Tiangong space station.翟志刚、王亚平、叶光富三名航天员将执行神舟十三号载人飞行任务。2008年，翟志刚出色完成我国历史上第一次太空行走。叶光富是首位完成欧洲航天局组织的国际洞穴训练的中国航天员。2013年，王亚平曾成功进行了中国首次太空授课。她也将是天宫空间站迎来的首位女航天员。INTERVIEW:Wang Yaping, Senior Colonel, PLA Astronaut Division王亚平，大校，中国人民解放军航天员大队After giving a lecture during the Shenzhou-10 mission, many students wrote letters to me asking me when I would return to space and give another lecture. I’m happy to announce that eight years later, I’ve realized my dream to return to space.从神舟十号开通授课之后，有很多同学也给我写信问到这个问题：什么时候能够再次飞上太空，给大家再讲一课？那么今天我非常高兴地告诉大家，经过8年的不懈努力，亚平老师终于再次追梦成功。A send-off ceremony will start around 9:30pm tomorrow. Their mission will include two or three spacewalks, installing important devices for mechanical arms, along with a variety of experiments.出征仪式将于今晚（15日）9点半左右举行。此次任务中，航天员将进行2-3次出舱活动，开展机械臂空间站组装建造关键技术试验，以及一系列空间科学实验与技术试验。2."TIME BANK" PROVING TO BE VIABLE SOLUTION IN ELDERLY CARE把时间存进“银行”，陪你慢慢变老Shanghai is one of the country’s first adopters of the "Time Bank" concept, an initiative【方案】 to look after elderly people. It allows volunteers to receive the same amount of time they provide in service to others when they themselves are old enough to need care.上海是中国首批采用“时间银行”概念的城市之一，旨在照顾老年人。志愿者用心用情志愿服务，把这些精力存入“时间银行”，今后可能用还回自己的身上。87 year-old Ma Xiajing lives alone in Changning District as her son and daughter live far away. However, Ma is not lonely as her caretaker, 67-year-old Ding Peili, visits regularly, chatting with her and helping her with some easy chores.87岁的马霞静独自一人住在长宁区，和儿女离得很远。但马霞静并不孤单，她67岁的看护丁培丽经常来看她、和她聊天、帮她做一些简单的家务。INTERVIEW:Ma Xiajing, Resident, 87 Year-old马霞静，居民，87岁She helps me order fruits and vegetables online, and also picks up packages for me. I live on the 11th floor, and I have trouble walking. I am very touched, because I feel like she is one of the family.我不会用手机啊，志愿者过来会教我手机下单买菜，有时候帮我拿快递什么的，很感动的，他们都是义务劳动。INTERVIEW:Ding Peili, Community Volunteer, 67 Year-old丁培丽，志愿者老人，67岁 I am happy to help them before I become too old to look after myself. I have accumulated over 10 coins now, and it’s comforting to know that I can use them if needed in the future. 我很高兴能在我变老之前帮助他们。我已经有10个积分了，一想到我将来能用到这些积分，我觉得很欣慰。Here’s how the process works. The civil affairs bureau posts requests for volunteers on Wechat. It could be anything from helping take care of someone, or accompanying a cancer survivor on a hospital visit. Care providers earn "time coins" for their work. One hour of service equals 1 time coin. Time coins can be saved and used in the future. A China Development Research Foundation report found that people aged over 65 will make up 14 percent of the country’s population by 2022. Another report stated that from 2018 to 2019, over one tenth of this population was unable to do basic tasks including dress, eat and bathe on their own. Some experts say the time bank not only responds to the challenge of an aging population, but also promotes the development of volunteer services. “时间银行”的运行机制是什么样的呢？民政局会在微信上发布志愿者招募信息。志愿活动包括帮助照顾某位老年人，或陪同癌症康复后的病人去医院检查等。护理人员可以从他们的工作中赚取“时间积分”。一小时的服务等于一个时间积分。时间积分可以保存并在未来使用。中国发展研究基金会的报告指出：截至2022年，65岁以上的人口将占中国人口的14%。另一份报告显示，2018到2019年间，超过十分之一的65岁以上人口行动无法自理，他们无法自己穿衣服、吃饭和洗澡。一些专家表示，时间银行既能缓解人口老龄化困局，有能推进志愿服务发展。INTERVIEW:Shi, Zhongchao, Senior Service Center, Changning Civil Affairs Bureau施忠超，长宁区民政局，养老服务发展中心 More than 39% of the population in our district are those aged over 60. I am talking about 224,000 elderly people. We hope the "Time Bank" Project can encourage more people to share their time and love to seniors, not only those "young seniors" aged around 60, but also younger generations as well. 我们现在长宁，2020年底，登记老人数量为22.4万， 占总人数 39.1%，可以说是高度老龄化，压力还是非常大的。时间银行可以说是一定程度缓解了我们社区养老服务的压力。有助于激励并且规范社会成员为有需求的老人提供服务，不光是60到64这么些老人，而甚至是一些年轻人。So far, more than 820 volunteers in Changning have joined the project. They have served more than 2,500 elderly people above the age of 80. Two volunteers have earned more than 100 time coins, which means 4 days of care when they are old enough to need it. Citywide, four other districts including Hongkou and Yangpu are also implementing the project. The concept was introduced to China in the 1990s after it was created by a professor at Yale University. However, it didn’t take off due to a lack of volunteers, good management and clear rules. 到目前为止，长宁市已有820多名志愿者加入了该项目。他们已经为2500多名80岁以上的老人提供志愿服务。两名志愿者已经获得了100多个时间积分，这意味着他们将来也能享受到4天的志愿服务。虹口、杨浦等其他四个区也在实施“时间银行”项目。这个概念由一位耶鲁大学教授提出，于20世纪90年代引入中国。然而，由于志愿者短缺、管理制度不明确，“时间银行”没有取得显著的成果。INTERVIEW：Xu Yangping, Manager, Changning Time Bank Project徐杨萍，时间银行项目负责人，上海喜雅爱心社区服务中心At the beginning, some of the seniors didn’t initially want the intervention of a stranger, not to mention being checked on every day. Now they are familiar with the idea of volunteers and are willing to discuss their conditions without much prompting. 一开始，一些老年人并不希望陌生人介入，更不要说每天都被检查。现在他们熟悉了志愿者的概念，愿意在没有太多提示的情况下讨论他们的情况。INTERVIEW：Lu Xiaowen, Researcher, Institute of Sociology, SH Academy of Social Sciences陆晓文，社会学所，上海社科院Around 80% of elderly people hope to spend their old age at home or near home, as they feel isolated and uncomfortable in nursing homes. This is why public facilities, community healthcare centers, family doctors and more need to be improved.研究员老人到了一定岁数，进入到养老机构，不光是养老的需要，还有比如说社交需要、自我表现的需要。社会上的需求和个人的价值是我们需要考虑的。还有护理人员的技术能力素质也需要提高，很多养老机构的人员不是专业训练出来的。 老人对于养老的愿望百分之八十是希望居家、就近养老，那社区、社区医院、家附近的公共设施、家庭医生这种服务要更加成为一个系统为老人服务，如何做好基层配套设施，是一个更大的工程。Lu said the needs of the elderly pose a critical challenge as they will have a lasting impact on economic and social development. Shanghai, Nanjing and Beijing have already started new test runs of the Time Bank concept. Men aged 60 to 70, and women aged 50 to 70 are available to register as a volunteer to serve those aged above 80. 陆晓文说，老年人的需求是一个重大挑战，因为他们将对经济和社会发展产生持久的影响。上海、南京和北京已经开始试行“时间银行”新模式。60至70岁的男性及50至70岁的女性均可登记成为义工，为80岁以上的老人服务。3.STAR TREK’S SHATNER BECOMES WORLD’S OLDEST SPACE TRAVELER“星际迷航”舰长，90高龄勇闯太空The second sub-orbital【轨道的】tourism flight of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ company - Blue Origin blasted off yesterday, carrying a four-person crew. "Star Trek" actor William Shatner was on-board, at the age of 90. Shatner is the oldest person to ever travel to space. 10月14日， “蓝色起源”公司经营的航天器发射进入太空，进行第二次亚轨道飞行。本次有四名乘客搭乘该太空飞船飞往太空，其中包括90岁高龄的演员威廉·夏特纳，他曾在《星际迷航》中扮演柯克舰长。他是目前为止最年长的“太空旅人”。The New Shepard rocket took off from Blue Origin’s West Texas launch center at around 10:49am local time after a brief delay. The "Star Trek" actor and three passengers hurtled to an altitude of 107 kilometers over the West Texas desert in the fully automated capsule, then safely parachuted【跳伞】back to Earth. The flight lasted just over 10 minutes including about three minutes of weightlessness. Speaking about his voyage into space after landing safely back on Earth, Shatner summarized the trip as "unbelievable."“新谢泼德”号火箭发射曾因天气原因短暂推迟，最终于当地时间上午10点49分从蓝色起源的西德克萨斯州发射中心起飞。“柯克舰长”和其他三名乘客乘坐全自动太空舱在西德克萨斯沙漠上空飞到107公里的高度后跳伞，安全返回地球。这次飞行只持续了10多分钟，其中包括大约3分钟的失重状态。直到安全返回地球后，夏特纳仍然觉得“难以置信”。INTERVIEW:William Shatner, Actor威廉·夏特纳，演员And you look down, there’s the blue down there and the black up there and there is Mother Earth, comfort.

Like！中国节 – 重阳节大家好，今天是重阳节，Chongyang Festival. It’s also called the Double Ninth Festival because it falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. The festival dates back more than 2,000 years.  In fact, there are many names for this festival, such as Chrysanthemum Festival 菊花节，Height Ascending Festival 登高节, and Seniors’ Day 敬老节. These names are all related to its traditions. For example, showing respect to seniors，climbing mountains，eating Chongyang cakes，drinking chrysanthemum wine and enjoying chrysanthemum flowers.  The custom of ascending a height 登高 originated when ancient people worshipped  mountains. Here in the city, some take part in vertical marathon events on this day in Shanghai’s skyscrapers like Oriental Pearl TV Tower or Jinmao Tower. If you would like to enjoy some natural scenery, 天马山Tianma Mountain in the southeast section of Sheshan Mountain in Shanghai’s Songjiang District is the place to be. It has the distinction of being the city’s largest and highest peak of 佘山. In folklore, nine is the largest number and represents longevity, which is the blessing of people for the health and longevity of the elderly. In 1989, the Chinese government decided to mark Seniors’ Day on the Double Ninth Festival, calling on everyone to respect, love and help the elderly. According to the 7th national population census data, about 4.05 million people aged over 65  now livｅ in Shanghai, accounting for 16.3 percent of the total population. There are some very practical services and facilities for elderly people in Shanghai. For residents over 65 years old, Shanghai’s senior citizen card 敬老卡 ensures free or discounted admission to scenic spots and cinemas. Restaurants, as well as cultural and entertainment venues are expected to offer perks to seniors too. Community canteens 社区食堂 catering to senior residents serve a variety of tasty dishes. Actually, many communities are now working to offer senior healthcare check-ups, lectures to teach them how to use cell phones,　along with a variety of classes. I’m pretty sure that even more services will be created to take even better care of our senior citizens. 九九重阳至，愿您健康久久，平安久久。

UK'S BIOBANK LOOKS TO SAFEGUARD BIODIVERSITY21世纪“诺亚方舟”？英国建立“物种银行”保护生物多样性-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1.CHINA TO LIBERALIZE COAL-FIRED POWER PRICING TO STABILIZE SUPPLIES重磅！国家发改委：有序放开全部燃煤发电电量上网电价China is to fully liberalize pricing for electricity generated by coal-fired power plants, the National Development and Reform Commission told a news briefing today. All industrial and commercial users will now have to buy directly from the market or via agents over the power grid, in contrast to just 44 percent who are required to do so now. The moves are to ensure sufficient power supplies amid recent large-scale shortages.国家发展和改革委员会今天在新闻发布会上表示，中国将全面、有序放开全部燃煤发电电量上网电价。推动工商业用户都进入市场，直接从市场购电，或通过电网企业代理购买。目前，大约44%的工商业用电量已通过参与市场形成用电价格。此次改革举措的目的在于为了抑制不合理的电力消费、改善电力供求状况。The state planner told a news briefing that 100 percent of electricity generated from coal-fired power plants will now be priced via market trading, up from just 70 percent nationwide now. And the float range of the market price for electricity will be expanded to 20 percent from the current ceiling of 10 and floor of 15 percent from the benchmark【基准】 price. Electricity prices for high energy-consuming industries will not be subject to any controls at all.国家发改委表示，目前，我国燃煤发电已有近七成电量通过参与市场形成上网电价。接下来将有序推动所有燃煤发电电量进入电力市场。电力市场价格浮动范围由现行基准价格的10%上限和15%下限扩大到上下浮动均不超过20%。高耗能企业市场交易电价不受上浮20%限制。Wan Jingsong, Director, Pricing Department National Development and Reform Commission万劲松国家发改委价格司司长The market transaction price of energy-intensive enterprises is not subject to the 20 percent rise. That is to curb unreasonable power consumption while encouraging these enterprises to improve energy efficiency and promote upgrading of the industrial structure. 高耗能企业的市场交易价格不受20%的涨幅影响。既要抑制不合理的用电量，又要鼓励企业提高能源利用效率，促进产业结构升级。Officials also said that the market-based reform of the industry would help to stabilize power supplies, giving power plants more incentives【动力】 to generate power.政府相关人员还表示，以市场为基础的电力行业改革将有助于稳定电力供应，给发电厂更多的动力来发电。2.VIDEO OF DANCING SENIORS GOES VIRAL又燃又治愈！魔都网红养老院上新啦~A music video titled "Dancers in Wheelchairs" went viral on the Internet.

UK'S BIOBANK LOOKS TO SAFEGUARD BIODIVERSITY21世纪“诺亚方舟”？英国建立“物种银行”保护生物多样性A recent report from the United Nations showed one-eighth of the Earth’s flora and fauna are threatened with extinction. To tackle the situation, scientists in the UK have established a bio-bank network to help preserve biodiversity.联合国最新的一份报告显示，随着气候变化以及人类的过度狩猎、过度捕捞，地球上约八分之一的动植物正面临灭绝威胁。为了延续生物多样性，英国科学家们经过数年努力，逐步建立起了保存动植物基因的"物种银行"。At the National Museums Collection Center in Edinburgh, Scotland, workers were taking a biological sample from this deceased【死去的】 red squirrel. The samples are stored at minus 80 degrees Celsius to preserve them and ensure they are viable for use for decades to come.位于爱丁堡的/苏格兰国家博物馆采集中心内，工作人员正在从一只死去的红松鼠身上采集生物样本。将样本分装在多个试管内，然后封存在零下80度左右的冰柜中。这样的条件下，样本活性能保持至少数十年。Gill Murray DicksonBiobank Researcher/National Museums Collections CenterIn conservation, sample collection is increasingly more difficult, and this is both because of restrictions in access to the animals, but also how rare the animals are themselves. 样本收集越来越困难。一方面是因为要接触这些动物有很多限制，另一方面是因为某些动物本身就非常稀少。Conservationists across Scotland say they have already banked over 8,000 samples, covering more than 1,000 species. This includes the critically-endangered Sumatran rhino and the Scottish wildcat, of which there are less than 100 specimens left in the wild.苏格兰的环保人士表示，他们已经储存了超过8000份样本，涵盖了1000多个物种。这其中包括濒临灭绝的苏门答腊犀牛和苏格兰野猫，它们在野外的个体数量，均不足一百。As climate change is causing widespread extinction in plants, the Kew Millennium Seed Bank in the UK has established the world’s largest plant conservation program, where seeds from over 20 percent of the Earth’s plants are stored. As part of the world’s environmental protection efforts, the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties will commence in Glasgow, Scotland at the end of the month. All countries are expected to back a statement that will recommit them to achieve net zero emissions【排放】by 2050.由于气候变化正在导致植物广泛灭绝，英国基尤千年种子银行建立了世界上最大的植物保护项目，在这里储存了地球上超过20%的植物种子。为保护地球生态环境，第26届联合国气候变化大会将于本月底在苏格兰的格拉斯哥举行，大会希望所有与会国家都能支持、并承诺于2050年实现净零排放。#热词加油站benchmark [ˈbentʃmɑːrk] 【基准】incentive [ɪnˈsentɪv] 【动力】deceased [dɪˈsiːst]【死去的】emission [ɪˈmɪʃn]【排放】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

PLANT-BASED MILK INCREASINGLY POPULAR IN CHINA'S BEVERAGE MARKETTake alook through the coffee shops in Shanghai, and you'll often find something new- plant-based milk. The increasing popularity of the high-protein health drinkis impossible to ignore, but there could still be a long way to go forcompanies in the market. Ying Junyi has more.There'sa new and unusual way to lighten your coffee now - with milk made from plants.In many cafes, oat milk, one of the most popular products, is taking over anincreasing share from ordinary cow's milk to become coffee's best mate. Andwith so many coffee drinkers in China these days, there are plenty of domesticand international plant milk brands in the market. The price is higher thanthat for what the cows provide, but consumers don't seem worried about theextra cost.INTERVIEW:Ittastes better than cow's milk.口感也会好一点，会和普通牛奶有区别。Many ofmy friends prefer coffee with oat milk.挺多的吧，就周边朋友喝咖啡点燕麦的。I wascurious. I order it now because it's trendy.新奇，我点这个也是觉得是一种跟上现在的流行时尚吧。Andthere are niche brands with plenty of niche products. In addition to oat milk,you'll also come across soy-based, coconut-based, and even pea-based milk. Thenewest entry in the plant-based milk competition is potato milk, which alreadyhas its boosters on the internet.INTERVIEW:HyungWoo Kim, Internet PersonalityConsumerswill choose potato milk with curiosity. Making a milk by potatoes? It's a greatidea, and you can make a variety of flavored drinks with potato milk. As theSwedish oat milk brand "Oatley" is being popular in this world and iswelcomed in China, I think potato milk has plenty of potential as well.It lookslike a market in the early stages of development and with a large potentialhere -- a survey by medical research firm Somur shows over 90 percent ofChinese have trouble to some degree with digesting the sugars in animal milk.Adding to that is the increasing demand for healthier food options these days.INTERVIEW:Joy Yin,Senior Food & Drink Analyst, Mintel65percent of our respondants have increased their frequency of healthy eatingcompared to before the Covid-19 outbreak. And 44 percent of our respondantsthink that healthy diet should include both animal and plant protein. On theother hand, we also observed consumers are considering plant-based drinks to bemore natural than milk and dairy beverages.Inforeign markets like the UK and the US, sales of plant-based milk are recordingdouble digit growth every year. Projections from Research and Markets show thatthe global plant-based milk market will be worth 22 billion dollars in 2024.Perhaps China too, will soon be putting the cows out to pasture.5.

One month ago, I talked about 白露 White dew. And today, I have another solar term for you: 寒露 Cold Dew. At this time, temperatures are usually lower than during White Dew in most areas of the country. There is a saying 白露身不露，寒露脚不露, which means you should pay special attention to keeping your feet warm in order to prevent yourself from catching a cold. However, climate change may make it feel much different during 寒露 than it was hundreds or thousands of years ago. For me, red is the most suitable autumn color. Two red fruits are now in, pomegranates 石榴 and persimmons 柿子. Pomegranates 石榴 have been cherished centuries due to their exquisite beauty and health benefits. The beauty of a pomegranate was depicted by famous painter, calligrapher and seal carver 吴昌硕, one of the most prominent artists in Chinese contemporary art. If you’ve been to 陆家嘴, you may have noticed a traditional house that stands out among all the skyscrapers. This is Wu Changshuo Memorial Hall. Wu wrote poems and painted Pudong’s countryside scenery, including blooming peonies and snow-capped crops. As for persimmons 柿子, there is this saying 立秋核桃白露梨，寒露柿子红了皮。It means persimmons will become ripe during 寒露. In China, a persimmon is a symbol of good luck. Since 柿 has a similar pronunciation as 事，people often say 柿柿如意 to express their best wishes.  Renowned painter 齐白石，particularly known for his depictions of shrimp and fish, had a special fascination for persimmons and his paintings tried to convey auspicious meanings. Using heavy ink, bright colors, and vigorous strokes, he created fresh and lively works that expressed his love of nature and life. Since hairy crab season is approaching. It reminded me of a saying that persimmons and hairy crabs cannot be eaten at the same time. It seems like everybody says so, but I’m not sure of the reason behind it. If you think you know why, please leave a comment with the explanation. As different regions in China take on a look of late autumn, Cold Dew is also a great time for hiking. We’ve got some pretty good hiking trails in Shanghai. For example, Sheshan Forest Park on the southwestern outskirts is a pleasant getaway from the hustle and bustle of Shanghai. There’s also a 6-kilometer trail around Dishui Lake. The trail is popular among hikers, joggers and bird watchers. 寒露至，秋渐浓，天寒露重，望君珍重。

Reporter Zhang Hong explains why."My Country, My Parents," the star-studded anthology, is one of movies that has received a lot of attention. The film pays homage to the past generations who have contributed to China's revolution and development, and features four stories that were filmed by different directors. It is also the last part of a trilogy for the "National Day Holiday Series", following "My People My Homeland" and "My People My Country" which were released over the past two years.The part I'm in charge of required me to create sets of Shanghai in 1978. It's very challenging because the city has changed dramatically.

This new one is really touching. The tears kept coming when I saw the parents trying their best to give their children a better life. And then the theater was filled with laughter for the last two parts of the movie.我因为看过前两部，所以这次来看这部。父辈们很不容易，为了我们现在的生活很不容易。特别地感动，不停地在掉眼泪。后面两个故事是由喜剧导演负责的，所以笑点就更多一些。Another much-anticipated drama is the historical epic "The Battle at Lake Changjin" that tells the story of the Chinese People's Volunteers soldiers fighting bravely in freezing temperatures in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.I learned about this war from reading but now with this movie, it feels so real. It reminds us that wars are cruel. We should cherish our life today as it is hard-earned.�以前只是书本上知道这个战争，通过这个画面就特别真实，战争很残酷，让我们知道我们现在的和平是先烈用鲜血换来的，我们就更应该珍惜现在的生活。There are also animated films, including "Dear Tutu: Operation T-Rex" and "Goldbeak", offering a nice choice for families with young children.

Theoretically, given enoughcarbon dioxide, the annual production capacity of starch in a one cubic meter bio-reactorwould equal the annual yield of starch harvested from a one-third hectare ofcorn. The structure of the synthetic starch proved to be the same as that ofnatural starch.实验室初步测试显示，人工合成淀粉的效率约为传统农业生产淀粉的8.5倍。在充足能量供给的条件下，理论上1立方米大小的生物反应器年产淀粉量，相当于我国5亩玉米地的年产淀粉量。核磁共振等检测发现，人工合成淀粉与天然淀粉分子的结构组成一致。INTERVIEW:Chu Xiaoying, Director of Global Collaboration &Partner Publishing for “Science”初晓英，《科学》杂志国际及学术出版合作总监It is a breakthrough in artificial starch, andalso a global first to synthesize starch from carbon dioxide. It’s a groundbreaking【开创性的】 discovery in biosynthesis and bio-manufacturing. It also provides a newpath for agricultural production and industrial bio-manufacturing and makes agreat contribution.它是人工合成淀粉这个领域的一个重大突破，也是从国际上来说第一次（在实验室）从二氧化碳合成了淀粉的整个的过程，对农业生产、对工业的生物制造实际上提供了一个新的途径，对这个领域有非常重大的推进意义。The research team said although the newapproach is still in the laboratory stage, it could be of great significanceonce applied in the real world. The team said it could help ease food shortagesand avoid the negative environmental impact of using pesticides【农药】 and fertilizers【化肥】.科研团队介绍，人工合成淀粉仍处在实验阶段，若未来实现工业化生产，将改善粮食短缺问题，避免农药、化肥等对环境的负面影响。2.    CULTURE SQUARE CELEBRATES 10TH ANNIVERSARY拾穗而歌！上汽·上海文化广场十周年生日快乐SAIC ShanghaiCulture Square has announced its line-up of upcoming performances and plans toproduce original musicals in celebration of its 10th anniversary.

Electric vehicles are pretty good. The Chinese Government certainly thinks so - it's been on a drive to push their rollout and sale for years now to cut down on pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The government's focus on the EV industry has prompted thousands of companies to move in on the sector to try and grab a slice of the profits they seem sure will come their way. Meanwhile, some experts have pointed out that there are too many startups in the sector and the government supports the idea of mergers and acquisitions.

The city hopes to create an inclusive and human-centered digital life. Sun Siqi checks out a smart canteen for the elderly along with other ambitions.自上海提出到2035年建立全球数字化之都以来，越来越多的服务已经实现了数字化。该市致力于打造包容和以人为本的生活方式。In a community canteen for the elderly in Minhang District, a set of smart facilities【设施】 has just been added to better cater to customers. It took only a few seconds at the checkout, with the price of each dish shown on the screen when a senior places his tray on the machine. And of more importance is the increase in menu variety.上海市闵行区的老年社区近日新增加了一套智能设施，以便更好地满足顾客的需要。老人仅需要将托盘放到结算区，单价和总金额就会在大屏上显示出来，整个结算过程只需要几秒钟。同时，菜品的种类也有所增加。INTERVIEW:Resident市民We used to have limited choices. Now, we have more choices and can order whatever we want. It's much more convenient and it saves time.（原来的）老年食堂它配什么我们吃什么，这个呢，可以随意的点，方便的点，老年人省时省力。The secret lies in the smart system that tracks sales. A small chip【芯片】 was added to the bottom of each plate, which stores the information of the dishes. With the system, canteen managers will know which are the best sellers and replace dishes that don't sell well.This is just one of 100 such canteens the city plans to build, which will feature unmanned operations and perhaps even robot chefs. With the use of an algorithm【算法】 and artificial intelligence, similar smart systems and high-tech facilities will be adopted in the community to boost its governance and help ensure a convenient and secure living environment for residents.这背后的秘诀其实是一套智能系统。每个盘子下面都安装了小芯片，用来储存盘子的信息。通过该系统，工作人员可以及时掌握菜品的销售情况，并及时更换销售量不高的菜品。这只是上海市计划建造的100个此类食堂中的一个，这些食堂的一大特色便是无人操作，甚至是使用机器人厨师。通过使用算法和人工智能，社区将采用类似的智能系统和高科技设施来，以加强，并帮助确保为居民提供方便和安全的生活环境。INTERVIEW:XueZelin, Deputy Researcher of Politics & Public Admin., Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences 薛泽林，上海社会科学院政治与公共管理研究所副研究员Our digitalization efforts such as AI canteens and smart elderly care have solved many problems. But in terms of providing high-quality public services and resources, we still have much room for improvement. We need to expand investment in services before residents can benefit from digitalization measures.我们的数字化转型，如AI食堂、智慧养老，其实是解决了很多问题。但在高质量的公共服务、城市资源供给方面，不管是上海还是全国，都体现出一定的不足。我们要增加优质公共服务的投入，在这个基础之上再通过数字化更好地汇集资源为老百姓服务。The digitalization trend is driving the city's endeavor to build itself into a smart city of global influence, with at least 50 scenarios to be digitalized by the end of 2035. For instance, the city plans to build over 50,000 charging poles for electric vehicles and realize digitalization in 90 percent of schools and over 1,000 hotels.在数字化的推动下，上海正努力建设成具有全球影响力的智能城市，到2035年底，至少有50个场景将实现数字化。例如，上海计划建设5万多个电动汽车充电桩，并在90%的学校和1000多家酒店实现数字化。INTERVIEW:XueZelin, Deputy Researcher of Politics & Public Admin., Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences薛泽林，上海社会科学院政治与公共管理研究所副研究员I believe public venues such as museums and art galleries will be upgraded after the establishment of a smart and digital city. Services like elderly care, education and medical care still need to be improved.相信未来我们的数字驱动双驱城市、虚拟城市、数字孪生城市建立起来之后，我们的公共服务如美术馆、博物馆可以实现极大的扩容。但是需要人与人之间服务的，比如说养老、教育、医疗等问题，我们还需要继续加强。And an average of 120,000 forms and applications for various documents are submitted to the Shanghai government each day. About 50 percent of those are submitted through the government's website.上海政府平均每天都会收到12万份各种文件和申请，其中大约50%是通过政府网站提交的。2.CHINA OPPOSES TAIWAN’S ACCESSION TO OFFICIAL AGREEMENT, ORGANIZATION 台湾申请加入CPTPP？外交部：坚决反对Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian today said that China firmly opposes the Taiwan region's accession【加入】 to any official agreement or organization and any form of official exchanges between the region with other countries. Zhao made the remarks after the island said it had applied to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership.台湾表示已申请加入《跨太平洋伙伴关系全面进步协定》，中国外交部发言人赵立坚今天（9.24日）表示，中国坚决反对台湾地区加入任何官方协议或组织，坚决反对该地区与其他国家进行任何形式的官方往来。Press ConferenceZhao Lijian, China’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson赵立坚，中国外交部发言人There is only one China in the world, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory【领土】. This fact is recognized by the international community and a basic norm of international relations. China firmly opposes the Taiwan region's accession to any official agreement or organization and any form of official exchanges between the region with other countries.世界上只有一个中国，台湾地区是中国不可分割的一部分。一个中国原则是公认的国际关系准则和国际社会普遍共识。我们坚决反对任何国家与台湾进行官方往来，坚决反对台湾地区加入任何官方性质的协议和组织。3.WANDERING WALRUS SPOTTED IN ICELAND离开爱尔兰消失逾三周，北极海象冰岛再现身Marine experts say Wally, the Arctic walrus【海象】, has been spotted in Iceland and is believed to be heading home to the Arctic after a tour of the British coastline.海洋专家称北极海象沃利在冰岛现身，并坚信它在游览英国海岸线后将会回到北极。Wally was originally spotted lounging on rocks in Valentia Island back in March, before being seen off the coast of England, as well as several European countries including France and Spain over the course of several months. Wally hadn't been seen for three weeks when marine experts spotted him in Iceland on Sunday. They recognized him by the scars【伤痕】 on both of his front flippers. It is believed that Wally's adventure may be linked to climate change. Experts say more and more of these Arctic species may be forced to be wanderers as they are displaced from their natural habitats.人们第一次发现沃利是在今年三月份，当时它正趴在瓦伦西亚岛的岩石上休息。随后在接下来的几个月里，英格兰海岸以及包括法国，西班牙在内的几个欧洲国家，都陆续发现了沃利的身影。周日，当海洋专家在冰岛发现沃利时，它已经三个星期没有露面了。专家从它两个前脚蹼上的伤疤认出了它，并表示沃利的冒险之旅可能与气候变化有关。专家表示，越来越多的北极物种可能会因为栖息地环境变化被迫流浪。#热词加油站digitalization, n.

The latest data show that the population of the white-headed langur has increased in recent years, with reaching around 1,300. Sun Siqi has the story.白头叶猴是我国一级重点保护野生动物，也是我国特有的灵长类物种之一。最新数据显示，近年来，我国白头叶猴野外种群得到稳步恢复增长，目前已达到1300只左右。The animal is known for its long tail and tuft【撮】 of yellowish white hair on its head that makes it look like it’s wearing a pointed hat. They dwell【居住】 in the karst hills in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and tree leaves are their primary source of food. Driven to the brink of extinction due to excessive hunting and habitat loss, there were fewer than 300 white-headed langurs in China before 1980.In order to protect this endangered【濒危的】 species, China set up a nature reserve for the white-headed langur in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The reserve is the first ecological corridor【走廊】 for primates, and is expected to restore connectivity between habitats by facilitating the migration【迁徙】 of monkey populations more safely. 白头叶猴有长长的尾巴，其最特殊、也最萌的是成年猴子头部高耸着一撮直立的白毛，就像带了一顶白色瓜皮小帽。白头叶猴常年栖息在广西壮族自治区喀斯特石山地区，以树叶为食。1980年以前，由于过度捕猎及栖息地的破坏，白头叶猴濒临灭绝，在中国仅有不到300只。为了对白头叶猴种群进行抢救性保护，广西壮族自治区建立起成为我国首个灵长类动物生态廊道——白头叶猴生态廊道，联通过去碎片化的栖息地，帮助猴群安全迁徙。INTERVIEWNong Dengpan, Deputy DirectorGuangxi Chongzuo National Nature Reserve Management Center农登攀 广西崇左白头叶猴国家级自然保护区管理中心副主任The population has been growing well. The number of white-headed langurs was 362 in 40 groups when the reserve was established. By the end of 2020 there were 136 groups of 1,239 monkeys.在保护区建立之初的时候，白头叶猴的数量是40群共362只。到现在，我们在2020年底的时候，是136群共1239只，数量得到了很大的发展。Currently, more than 90 percent of the 1,300 langurs live in four isolated areas of the Guangxi Chongzuo National Nature Reserve.  目前在我国1300只左右的白头叶猴种群中，90%以上分布在广西崇左白头叶猴国家级自然保护区。3.BIDEN, JOHNSON SEEK DEEPER COOPERATION潜艇风波持续发酵，美英会见再商合作Australia’s decision to break off a multi-billion-US-dollar submarine contract with France signed in 2016, and turn to the United States and Britain for nuclear-powered alternatives【替代品】 has sparked【引发】 an outcry【强烈抗议】 from the European continent.

大家好，今天是中秋节，the Mid-Autumn Festival. For thousands of years it has been celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. It is the second most important festival in China after the Spring Festival. And you may not know that it’s also celebrated in other Asian countries like Vietnam, Singapore, and Japan. 中秋节 is a grand time for family reunions. The roundness of the moon 月圆 represents reunion 团圆 to Chinese people. Appreciating the moon is also a tradition as the moon is at its biggest and brightest at this time. So, I’m looking forward to pics of the moon appearing in my Moments. Be ready to get my Likes！Have you had a mooncake today？As the signature snack of the Mid-Autumn Festival, mooncake 月饼 conveys auspicious meanings going back 3,000 years. Mooncake competitions have sprouted up across the land. Those with special fillings like crayfish and Luosifen or shaped like lovely animals and flowers have become popular among Gen Z. Have you ever noticed the goddess portrait on mooncake boxes? This is 嫦娥，the Chinese goddess of the moon. 嫦 and 娥 both indicate pretty woman. According to a myth 嫦娥奔月, there used to be 10 suns in the sky, so it was extremely hot all the time. Archer Hou Yi shot down 9 of the 10 suns in the sky. The Queen Mother Goddess of Western Heaven 西王母 gave him an immortality pill as a reward. Hou Yi handed it over to his wife Chang’e. However, someone wanted to steal the pill. Somehow, Chang’e hastily grabbed it and gulped it down. Then she became immortal and her body began to float upwards, directly to the Palace on the Moon. Afterwards, the legend goes that whenever the moon is full on Mid-Autumn Festival, Chang’e can be seen on the Moon. Since the myth 嫦娥奔月 is so popular among Chinese, the country’s lunar exploration mission is known as the Chang’e Project 嫦娥工程. Starting back in 2004, a series of robotic missions have been designed and launched to develop a deeper understanding of the lunar surface and eventually establish a lunar research station.Two days after 中秋节，  秋分，or the Autumn Equinox arrives. On the Autumn Equinox Day, day and night are of equal length. By the way, autumn is the golden season to exercise. Still, we’ve got a friendly reminder.

On Wednesday, the three countries announced an Indo-Pacific diplomatic, security and defense cooperation pact【公约】, under which the US and the UK will export "highly sensitive" nuclear submarine technology to Australia. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said that the countries' move gravely undermines regional peace and stability, intensifies the arms race, and harms the international non-proliferation efforts.中国今天（9.16日）就美国、英国和澳大利亚之间的核潜艇合作协议发表评论，称这是对地区和平与稳定的严重威胁。周三，三国宣布了一项印太外交、安全和防务合作协议，根据该协议，美国和英国将向澳大利亚出口“高度敏感”的核潜艇技术。中国外交部发言人赵立坚表示，这些国家的举动严重破坏了地区和平与稳定，加剧了军备竞赛，损害了国际防止核扩散努力。Press Conference:Zhao Lijian, China's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson赵立坚，中国外交部发言人The United States' and United Kingdom's action of exporting highly sensitive nuclear submarine technology once again proves that they are using nuclear exports as a tool for geopolitical games and adapts double standards. This is a highly irresponsible act. Australia is a non-nuclear weapon holding signatory to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as well as a signatory to the South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone Treaty. Importing nuclear submarine technology that has strategic and military values gives reasons for the international community, including its surrounding countries, to question its commitment to maintain the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.美英向澳大利亚出口高度敏感的核潜艇技术，再次证明他们将核出口作为地缘政治博弈的工具，采取"双重标准"，这是极其不负责任的行径。澳大利亚作为《不扩散核武器条约》的无核武器缔约国和《南太平洋无核武器区条约》的缔约国，引进具有战略军事价值的核潜艇技术，包括周边国家在内的国际社会有理由质疑澳方恪守核不扩散承诺的诚意。#热词加油站cargo, n.

The transmission chain is spreading through a primary school and a shoe factory in Putian’s rural areas, where pandemic control protocols are weaker.在上周五之后的三天之内，国家卫健委工作组专家称，福建本轮疫情严峻复杂，原因是首个病例发现过晚。目前疫情已经在防控能力相对薄弱的莆田农村地区传播开来，并形成了小学和鞋厂两个集中传播点。Du Zhaohui, Panelist in FujianNational Health Commission杜兆辉，国家卫健委赴福建工作组专家At the onset of the cluster, we need to strengthen pandemic control in communities. We need to prevent spreading at street level. When people are getting swabbed【用拭子擦拭，核酸检测】 at test sites, they need to be well separated so they don’t infect each other during the process.疫情初期我们更重要的是，加强这个社区管控措施的严格落地。那么对于路上还有一些人员流动的情况，我们也是要提醒，有序地做好居民引导，尤其是到核酸采样点的过程中，避免人群的聚集，避免人员之间相互交互。Doctors and nurses were sent to Putian from across the province to support testing, medical treatment and epidemic logical investigation efforts.全国各地的医护人员纷纷被派往莆田，以支援当地的检测、医疗和流行病学调查工作。3.

They expect to be able to mass produce new vaccines when a major mutation occurs that enables the virus to evade【规避】 the protection of all current vaccines.专家表示，尽管我国灭活疫苗对德尔塔变异株仍然有效，但新冠病毒仍在不断出现新的变异，我们仍需做到有备无患。这样，即使将来病毒发生严重变异，完全逃脱现有疫苗的预防作用，我们也能够迅速规模化生产新的疫苗。Also, construction started on the first Chinese coronavirus vaccine production facility【设施，场所】 in Europe yesterday in Serbia.

NEWSON 9/101.ARCHEOLOGISTS UNVEIL MAJOR FINDINGS FROM SANXINGDUI RUINS三星堆千年宝藏“开盲盒”时间到！2.SHANGHAI EXPO SITE TO BECOME WORLD-CLASS ACTIVITIES ZONE打造文化演艺超级地标，浦东世博地区十四五规划发布3.OLYMPIC PANDEMIC PROTOCOLS FOR BEIJING WILL BE SIMILAR TO TOKYO国际奥委会：北京冬奥会将执行与东京奥运会相同防疫原则-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1.ARCHEOLOGISTS UNVEIL MAJOR FINDINGS FROM SANXINGDUI RUINS三星堆千年宝藏“开盲盒”时间到！Archaeologists【考古学家】 today released their major findings at six newly found sacrificial pits at the Sanxingdui Ruins site in Sichuan Province. 四川省文物考古研究院今日（9日）发布三星堆遗址新发现6个祭祀坑的重大考古成果。More than 500 cultural relics were discovered, mainly from pits 3, 6, 7 and 8. The excavation【发掘】 process has entered the final stage at Pit 3, where a gold mask has already been unearthed. It’s the first intact mask to be unearthed as previous ones were all fragments. Archeologists said it was likely attached to a bronze head. 三星堆又上新了500多件文物，主要来自于3号坑、6号坑、7号坑和8号坑。3号坑的发掘工作目前已进入收尾阶段，并首次出土了一件完整金面具，此前发掘的金面具均为残件。专家推断，该面具可能是附着在青铜头像脸上的。An intact jade cong with sacred tree pattern was also unearthed from Pit 3, which will allow archeologists a chance to study the meaning and symbolism of the sacred tree in ancient society. 3号坑还出土了一件刻着通天神树的玉琮，为今人研究古蜀社会中神树的意义、象征等问题提供了重要依据。At Pit 6, a jade blade was found. Jade blades are believed to have been used in ritual ceremonies so they were usually not sharp. But the newly found blade is an exception. 在6号坑内，则发现了一把玉刀。特别的是，玉器在古代一般是礼器，并不锋利，但这把玉刀却是开了刃的。INTERVIEW:Li Haichao, Professor，Sichuan University黎海超 四川大学教授We found a very exquisite jade blade in a wooden box from Pit 6. It’s a really nice piece in terms of its material and craftsmanship【工艺】. Jadeware is usually found together, so we’re expecting to find more pieces nearby.我们在6号坑木箱的箱底，发现了一件非常精美的玉刀，这个是非常非常漂亮的，无论从材质，从工艺，从哪个角度来讲，都是三星堆玉器的一个精品。这种非常好的东西，我们按照一种习惯上，按照这种逻辑来推测的话，它往往不是单独出现的，所以不排除下面有更多的玉器或者其他的器物出土。They also found something made of wood in Pit 6. It’s 190 centimeters long and 20 centimeters wide. Wrapped in mud, it weighs 500 kilograms. The excavation team says they had to cut it out of its wooden box to lift it out of the ground, a process that took three days. 6号坑内，还有一件神秘的残木器重见天日。这件木器长约190厘米，宽度仅有20厘米，连同附着的泥土，重达半吨。考古人员不得已对它实施了切割手术，整整耗时三天才将这件木器成功提取出土。INTERVIEW:Xu Yandong，Excavation Team Member许延东 三星堆遗址祭祀区考古工作队成员Cutting it with a regular chain saw would have damaged it, so we used a wire saw. It takes longer, but damage is minimized. But I still feel sorry that we had to cut it. 硬性切割伤害比较大，所以咱们采用的一种方式就是用绳锯以柔克刚的方式，慢慢慢慢把它进行断开，最小损失状态，保证它的完整性。说老实话我都心疼。A large number of items made of ivory were unearthed from pits 7 and 8. They were also difficult to excavate.整个7号、8号祭祀坑则铺满了象牙遗存，同样提取难度极大。INTERVIEW:Zhang Baorui，Excavation Team MemberIt’s like opening a blind box. You never know what’s under the ivory artifacts. I hope I can tell others that I discovered them under ivory pieces when these findings become exhibits in a museum one day.就跟开盲盒一样，永远不知道象牙下面有啥，就希望以后进博物馆的时候能给随行的同伴们说一下，这个器物是当初我掏象牙的时候，在象牙下面亲手发现的。Archeologists have already found nearly 10,000 artifacts at the Sanxingdui Ruins since March.自今年3月三星堆发掘重新启动以来，已出土文物近万件。2.SHANGHAI EXPO SITE TO BECOME WORLD-CLASS ACTIVITIES ZONE 打造文化演艺超级地标，浦东世博地区十四五规划发布Shanghai government officials said today that the former World Expo site in Pudong will become a world-class activities zone where top shows are staged and regional headquarters are based.

Zhang Hong tells us more. 最新数据显示，8月份上海二手房成交量环比下降24%，交易价格也首次出现明显下行，环比下降8%。行业分析师表示密集调控之下，上海二手房市场正在明显降温，量价均已跌至2019年的月均水平。A local real-estateagent【中介，代理人】said she’s observed a plunge in buyers checking out second-hand homes and transaction【交易】volume over the past two months. 一家房产中介表示，过去两个月整个门店的带看和成交数据都出现明显下跌。INTERVIEWReal Estate Agent房产中介The number of home-seekers remains the same, but few are purchasing at the moment. Most of them are staying on the sidelines due to a higher down payment percentage and uncertainty in the market.买房的客户数量还是那么多，但是因为一是首付比例的影响，二也是市场多变，大部分会持一个观望的状态，现在下手的会比较少。Plus property owners are not willing to lower their asking price.另一边，房东也并不愿意轻易下调售价。INTERVIEWReal Estate Agent房产中介The list price verified【核验】by authorities does not meet the owner’s expectation, so they’re not willing to sell the property. 很多房东的心理价位和（通过核验的）价位不是匹配的，所以就不愿意卖。According to a report by real estate agency Lianjia, 18,000 properties were traded last month, down 24% compared to July and a year-on-year dive of 40%, the largest decrease this year. 根据链家的行业分析报告显示，8月份二手房成交量为18000套，环比和同比分别下降24%和40%，为今年最大跌幅。INTERVIEWYang Yunlei, Senior Real Estate Analyst杨雨蕾，行业资深分析师Home-seekers are expecting flat or even lower prices in the future, so they are not in a hurry to make a purchase. According to the latest government policies, banks are now approving mortgage【按揭】loans based on the lowest price from either the contract price, the price assessed by the bank, or the verified price from the real estate transaction center. So home-seekers are forced to slash【削减】their budget. The second-hand housing market will stabilize by the end of the year.购房者预期未来的价格会比较稳定，或者出现稳中下行的情况，就不会急着去交易。第二个"三价就低"作为贷款标准，这个其实直接影响了购房者的支付能力，使得购房者被动地下调购房预算，预期到今年年底整体市场会比较平稳。The Shanghai Housing Administration Bureau issued several measures earlier this year to cool the overheated【过热的】market. They include the verification of the list price of second-hand homes, lower mortgage loans approved by banks and a longer waiting period before lending. 日前上海房地产交易中心采取了一系列措施为二手房市场降温，包括推出“挂牌核验”机制，降低贷款金额，及延长房贷放款周期。2.    SU BINGTIAN BECOMES AMBASSADOR OF 46TH WORLDSKILLS COMPETITION“飞人”苏炳添再获新身份——上海第46届世界技能大赛推广大使Chinese sprinter Su Bingtian, who made history by qualifying for the men’s 100-meter final at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, was named as ambassador【大使】for the 46th WorldSkills Competition, which will be held in Shanghai next year.

The clock tower that houses Big Ben was renamed the Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to mark the 60th year of her reign. During work on the 96-meter-tall Elizabeth Tower, restorers discovered that the clock hands were originally painted blue rather than black.自2017年以来，这座拥有177年历史的塔楼一直被脚手架包裹着。修复人员为4面钟盘重新上釉，铸铁部分重新油漆，精细石雕部分则进行清洁与修缮。为纪念现任英国女王伊丽莎白登基60年，大本钟所在的钟楼于2012年更名为伊丽莎白塔。在修复这座96米高的伊丽莎白塔时，修复人员发现钟上的“原装”指针是蓝色而不是黑色。INTERVIEW:Ian Westworth, Clock Mechanic韦斯特沃斯 钟表机械师“Working on this clock would be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

PORT OF SHANGHAI BREAKS MONTHLY HANDLING VOLUME RECORD港口人无惧台风疫情，上海港连创历史纪录Shanghai Port broke records in both monthly and daily handling volumes in August despite the impact of sporadic【零星的，偶尔的】 COVID-19 cases and Typhoon Infa. Sun Siqi takes a look at how it keeps improving.疫情防控要求高，天气情况却不好。8月份，在这样的客观条件下，上海港仍创下了集装箱吞吐量和单昼夜吞吐量两个历史新高，一起去看看港口人在光鲜成绩单背后的努力。Typhoon Infa swamped Shanghai in July, forcing the Port of Shanghai to shut down for 3 days and leading to a ship backlog【积压】 of more than 150. But Shanghai International Port Group, which manages the port, quickly churned threw the backlog after organizing ships to unload at quieter docks. Expanded container unit depot areas and extra cranes【桥吊】 led to a volume of more than 4.3 million container units in August, including a single-day record of 158,000 containers on August 19th.7月，台风"烟花"来袭，上海港"停摆"三天，150多条集装箱船舶亟待靠泊。管理该港口的上港集团通过上下联动，片区互助的方式，快速消减积压船舶。港区堆场增配扩容计划以及新一轮码头桥吊使得8月份单月的集装箱吞吐量超过了430万标准箱，在8月19日当天还创下了15.8万标准箱的单昼夜吞吐量新纪录。Yang Yanbin, Deputy GMSIPG Production Department杨焱滨，上港集团生产业务部副总经理Capacity has improved due to the five new cranes we installed this year at our Shangdong dock in Yangshan.得益于去年我们尚东集装箱码头有5台新的岸桥，今年正式投入了生产，对生产能力有了一个大的提升。SIPG also bolstered【加强】 efficiency with a station at the Port of Taicang, where goods can be merged. Thus, docking time is reduced when ships are in Shanghai.上港集团还在太仓港设立了服务中心，进出口货物可在那里实现集装箱合并，有效减少了支线驳船在上海港各码头的等泊时间。Yang Yanbin, Deputy GMSIPG Production Department杨焱滨，上港集团生产业务部副总经理This way, resources are mobilized at these ports, and costs are reduced for barge companies.一是能释放我们上海港这些集装箱码头岸线的资源，另外对驳船公司来说，它也可以及时调整它的运营的路线，那么节省一定的成本。Paperless declaration procedures for empty containers cuts the time it takes to clear Customs by up to two days. This, in turn, makes for extra room in the depot so more goods can be readied for shipping.上海港全面推行空箱无纸化申报，将进出口空箱整体通关时间缩短了1到2天，有效加快空箱周转速度，减轻空箱堆存压力。3.

大家好，今天是白露，White Dew, the third solar term in autumn.白露是秋季的第三个节气。An old saying goes like“白露秋风夜，一夜凉一夜.”After sunset①, temperatures decrease rapidly. At night, water vapor② in the air turns into small water-drops that settle on flowers, grass and trees. When morning comes, sunshine makes them look crystal clear.有这样一句农谚, “白露秋风夜，一夜凉一夜”。日落之后，气温迅速下降。夜晚，水汽凝结成露珠，附着在花草树木上。在早晨阳光的照耀下，露珠晶莹剔透、洁白无瑕。Osmanthus flowers start to bloom③ as White Dew arrives, and you'll notice a fresh scent if you happen to be close enough. The city of Guilin, one of the best-known tourist destinations in China, was named after the plant. For Chinese people, osmanthus flowers carry the meaning of true love, faithfulness, good fortune and prosperity④. For example, we say “Zhe Gui”, which literally means to pluck⑤ a branch of an osmanthus tree. In the past, it means to pass an imperial examination, but now it means to win a championship.白露时节桂花开。恰巧走近盛开的桂花树，才能闻到怡人的桂花香。桂林，中国最著名的旅游城市之一，就因桂花而得名。对中国人来说，桂花象征永伴佳人、有忠贞之意，也寓意着吉祥如意、收获满满。例如，“折桂”的字面意思就是摘取桂树的枝条。古时，以折桂比喻科举及第；而今，则以折桂形容比赛夺冠。According to a Chinese myth, in front of the Palace in the Moon, there is a huge osmanthus tree. Under the tree branches there is a mortal named Wu Gang who is wielding an ax chopping it. Wu stayed on the moon and was punished to cut down the sweet osmanthus tree. However, the magic tree had the ability to grow again, thus Wu spent the rest of his life cutting down the tree without resting.中国神话故事《吴刚伐桂》中，月亮上的广寒宫前，有一棵高大的桂树。桂树下，有一个人每天伐树不止。这个被发配到月亮上砍树的人名叫吴刚。但桂树随砍即合，吴刚伐桂便永无休止。During the White Dew period, grapes⑥become widely available for sale. Grapes are good for your health in autumn. Here in the city, Malu grapes are popular among locals. The Malu Grape Theme Park in Jiading District is where visitors can not only taste grapes of top quality, but also visit vineyards and pick their own.正所谓“白露下葡萄”。白露时节，葡萄大量上市。秋天吃葡萄，对身体好处颇多。在上海，高人气品种当属马陆葡萄。在嘉定区马陆葡萄主题公园，游客不仅可以品尝到优质的葡萄，还可以参观葡萄园，亲手采摘葡萄。In some parts of Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province, it's traditional to make White Dew wine or sweet rice wine during this period. People serve guests this sweet rice wine to show their hospitality⑦. Also known as “Jiuniang”, it can be used to make a typical dessert Mini Rice Balls with Sweet Rice Wine. But attention please! Since “Jiuniang” contains alcohol, after eating Mini Rice Balls with Sweet Rice Wine, you'd better not drive.在苏浙一带，有自酿白露米酒的习俗。每年白露一到，家家酿酒，用以待客。这种米酒也叫“酒酿”，可以用来制作一道传统甜品酒酿小圆子。不过要注意的是，酒酿里含有酒精成分，吃了酒酿小圆子，可别开车了。白露时节，秋深露重，遥祝秋安！

The vote came hours ahead of the US deadline for withdrawing its remaining military personnel out of Afghanistan.昨天（30日），联合国安理会通过了一项关于阿富汗问题的决议草案，其中13票赞成，0票反对，中国和俄罗斯弃权。投票发生在美国撤军结束前的几个小时。The resolution reaffirms【重申】the importance of combating terrorism in Afghanistan and calls for the international community to provide humanitarian assistance【人道主义援助】. Geng Shuang, China’s deputy permanent representative to the UN, said during the meeting that the recent chaos in Afghanistan is directly related to the hasty and disorderly withdrawal of foreign soldiers, adding that the governments of those countries should learn from these lessons and respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Afghanistan.决议重申了在阿富汗打击恐怖主义的重要性，同时呼吁国际社会向阿富汗提供人道主义援助。中国常驻联合国副代表耿爽在会上表示，外国仓促撤军很可能给各类踞阿恐怖组织卷土重来提供可乘之机。有关国家应该吸取教训，切实尊重阿富汗主权、独立和领土完整。SPEAKER:Geng ShuangChina’s Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN耿爽 中国常驻联合国副代表“I hope relevant countries realize that withdrawal is not the end of responsibility, but the beginning of reflection and correction. Those countries should be responsible for what they’ve done in the past 20 years. They have left behind a huge catastrophe in Afghanistan and shifted the blame and responsibility to Afghanistan’s neighboring countries and the Security Council.”希望有关国家能够认识到，撤出不是责任的结束，而是反思和纠错的开始。有关国家应该为过去20年的所作所为负责，不能在阿制造巨大灾难后一走了之，却把责任推给阿邻国和安理会。Geng emphasized that China has always attached importance to Afghanistan’s fight against terrorism and hoped all parties concerned can strengthen coordination and jointly prevent new terrorist attacks. In Afghanistan, thousands of people were looking to flee the country to start a new life in other countries. At the refugee camp near the Polish-Belarusian border, 30 Afghans refused to be sent back after being caught by Polish police.耿爽强调，中方一贯重视阿富汗打击恐怖主义问题，希望有关各方能够加强协调、共同防范新的恐怖袭击。近日，成千上万的阿富汗难民逃离至其他国家。在波兰与白俄罗斯边境附近的难民营，30名阿富汗人在被波兰警方逮捕后拒绝遣返。INTERVIEW:Afghan Refugee阿富汗撤离人员“We come from a country where there is a war. Why did nobody help us here? Why are we not allowed into Europe? If you are not ready to help us here, then let us go to another country.

CHINESE STUDENTS GO ABROAD WITH HOPE AND APPREHENSION疫情之下：留学之路道阻且长Chinese students with the intention of studying abroad have finally accepted that the pandemic is just a reality they have to deal with as taking another gap year or doing online courses simply is not the way to go. Reporter Sun Siqi brings us the story of one student about to embark on a journey to an American university, the first time she’ll be on campus as the coronavirus case count swells.当广大中国留学生意识到继续休学一年或是接受网课并非良策时，他们不得不选择直面新冠肺炎疫情带来的挑战。在其与ICS记者孙思奇的交流中，我们将共同见证全球新冠肺炎疫情背景下，留美学生Hannah的求学与求索。After wrapping up her internship【实习】 at a Shanghai news outlet, Hannah Jiang, a sophmore【二年级生】 at Northwestern University, is at her home in Suzhou to prepare for the new school year in the suburbs of Chicago. Having spent her first year at the university’s journalism school online and paying more than 56,000 US dollars in tuition, her odyssey to the United States is finally about to begin. After coronavirus cases had been brought down to less than 100,000 a week in June and July, infections have spiked to one million a week.随着上海的新闻实习告一段落，西北大学大二学生蒋至菡回到苏州家中，为新学年的芝加哥郊区生活做准备。完成一年的线上学习，并支付56,000多美元学费后，她的美国之行终将启程。新冠确诊每周新增保持在10万例以下的6月、7月一去不返，目前美国感染率已飙升至每周100万例。Sun Siqi, ICS Reporter孙思奇，记者Going to the US at this point, what are your biggest worries?此刻只身前往美国读书，你最担心什么？Hannah Jiang, Sophomore at Northwestern Univerisity蒋至菡，西北大学大二学生First of all, definitely the coronavirus, I don’t know how it’s really going to play out in the next couple of months, we’ve seen an uptick【小幅增加】 in cases in the US. But I don’t think they will change my decision to go abroad at this point. It’s just weighing online classes have another year versus the health ... Everyone around me, they’re also going back, that really pushes me to feel like, I don’t want to be left out, I don’t want to be the only one in China and be on the big screen.首先，当然是新冠疫情。最近美国疫情有所加重，但未来几个月疫情会如何发展，我无法预料。以上这些并不会影响我的决定。我只需要在继续上网课和个人健康间判断孰轻孰重，做个抉择。我的同学和伙伴们都陆续回到校园，他们的行动也牵动着我——我不想落后于人，不想独自一人留在中国，不想守着电脑屏幕上网课。Fortunately, her parents take comfort knowing Jiang’s been vaccinated and she’s studied abroad in the past.幸运的是，蒋至菡已完成新冠疫苗接种，并曾出国留学，这为她的父母上了“双重保险”。Dong Lei，Hannah Jiang’s MotherI can’t say I can be totally relaxed, I still worry. I can only ask her to protect herself. I’d say our future for a long time is living with the virus, and everybody just has to learn to take care of themselves.很放心肯定不可能的，其实我还是挺担心。我只能让她保护好自己。未来很长一段时间内，新冠疫情都不会消失，每个人都需要懂得如何防护。ICS:If one day, you’re in the US, and then you were to call home, and tell your parents that you got sick, what would you think they will tell you or do?如果有一天你打电话给家里，说你生病了。你觉得你父母会怎么说？怎么做？Jiang:I do think they’ll be worried, definitely, but I don’t think there’s anything they can do.他们肯定会担心我，但我也知道他们会无能为力。ICS:It’s basically your parents trusting that you would be independent and take care of yourself on this adventure.意思是，你父母相信你可以独当一面，并照顾好自己。Jiang:Exactly, yes.没错。Still, the level of unease many parents experience is palpable. At Pudong airport, long snaking lines of departing students form around the check-in counters. Some have two or three family members bidding them farewell, as many are going to a foreign country for the first time. In a photo circulating on the Internet, a man who appears to be a father is crouching on the floor as he seems to be checking on his child from underneath the departure partition.不难想象，还有许多家长忧心忡忡。在浦东机场，离境学生在登机柜台前排起长龙。有些人身侧站着两三亲友为其送行，因为他们大多是第一次离开祖国。在互联网上流传的一张照片中，一名男子蹲在地上，透过离境隔板望向孩子，他应该是孩子的父亲。Some universities in the United States, like Johns Hopkins, require students to get a USFDA approved vaccine upon arrival, and be tested for coronavirus once a week. Unvaccinated students will be tested twice a week.包括约翰霍普金斯大学在内的部分美国学校，要求抵美前注射经美国食品药品监督管理局（USFDA）批准的疫苗，并每周进行一次核酸检测。如学生未进行疫苗接种，则核酸检测每周两次。Most parents are still worried, though many of them already have a rough idea how their child will be treated should they get infected. Almost every school has set up protocols【协议】that are linked with the state’s hospitals should a student get infected. When you’re at school, protect yourself and engage actively in both your studies and social life. There’s no need to be hiding the whole time.大多数家长还是放心不下，尽管有些人已经对孩子感染新冠后的治疗有了大致设想。几乎每所学校都制定了相关协议，一旦有学生感染新冠，就会与州立医院联系。在学校时，学生要保护好自己，也要积极参加学习和社会活动，没必要畏手畏脚。The United States has issued more than 85,000 visas to Chinese students since May. Education consultancies suggest students take the vaccines as required by their schools as soon as possible, wear masks, report immediately to the school’s health center and get tested if symptoms arise, and also check with the school on medical insurance that covers a coronavirus infection. As the pandemic shows no signs of abating, those choosing to study abroad fly with both expectation and trepidation【忧虑】.自5月以来，美国已向中国学生发放超过85,000份签证。留学机构建议学生尽快按照学校要求接种疫苗、佩戴口罩，如果出现感染症状，立即向学校保健中心报告并接受检测，同时向学校了解承保新冠病毒感染的医疗保险。新冠疫情目前并无减弱迹象，毅然选择出国的留学生们怀揣着期望与不安，飞越云层，到达大洋彼岸。3.

We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay.这是艰难的一天，我们不会原谅，我们不会忘记，我们会追捕你们，让你们付出代价。Biden had pledged to get every American who wished to leave out of Afghanistan. As of Thursday, the State Department estimated there were as many as 1,000 Americans in Afghanistan who may want help getting out.此前，拜登表示，将撤离所有想离开阿富汗的美国人。截至8月26日，美国国务院预测仍有一千余名美国公民滞留阿富汗，需要撤离。However, according to a new poll by U.S. media, Biden’s approval ratings have fallen to their lowest point in his seven-month presidency, amid the rise in COVID-19 cases and the chaotic military withdrawal from Afghanistan. The poll, conducted from Aug 14 to 17, found 49 percent of respondents approve of Biden’s job performance, sliding below 50 percent for the first time.但美国媒体的最新民调显示，在新冠肺炎疫情反弹和阿富汗混乱撤军的双重压力下，拜登的支持率突破其7个月执政期以来的历史新低。这项于8月14日至17日进行的民调显示，仅有49%的美国受访者对拜登的工作表现表示认可。这也是自拜登就任总统以来,其工作表现民调支持率首次低于50%。#热词加油站kindergarten【幼儿园】inoculation【接种】internship【实习】sophmore【二年级生】uptick【小幅增加】protocol【协议】trepidation【忧虑】condemn【谴责】carnage【杀戮】avenge【复仇】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”

Lei Shuran has more.8月26日晚，阿富汗首都喀布尔机场外发生两起自杀式炸弹袭击，造成至少103人死亡，其中包括13名美军士兵，另有至少105人受伤。“伊斯兰国”宣布对爆炸事件负责。8月27日，中方对喀布尔机场附近发生爆炸造成重大人员伤亡感到震惊，并予以强烈谴责。According to the Pentagon, one blast occurred near the airport’s Abbey Gate and the other close to the nearby Baron Hotel. Two U.S. officials said at least one of the explosions appeared to be a suicide bombing.美国国防部消息称，两起爆炸分别发生在喀布尔机场阿贝门附近及其不远处的男爵酒店周围。两名美国官员表示，其中一起爆炸或为自杀式炸弹袭击。INTERVIEW:Unidentified Eyewitness to Explosion目击者The explosion was really powerful. Half were hurled into the water, others on the ground outside.爆炸的威力真的很大，一半的人被甩进水里，另一半人倒在地面上。The Islamic State group’s affiliate in Afghanistan has claimed responsibility for the attack outside the Kabul airport. The IS branch, known as The Islamic State-Khorasan Province named after the ancient name of the region, said that it had targeted American troops and their Afghan allies.极端组织"伊斯兰国"阿富汗分支已宣称对发生在喀布尔机场附近的袭击事件负责。“伊斯兰国”分支机构“呼罗珊省”（ISIS-K）表示，自杀式炸弹袭击者的目标是美国军队及其阿富汗盟友。Taliban Official, Abdul Qahar Balkhi巴尔希阿富汗塔利班官员And as soon as the airport situation is figured out, and foreign forces leave, we will not have such attacks anymore.一旦机场局势得到解决，外国军队撤离，阿富汗就不会再发生这样的袭击。IS also said the bomber managed to get past Taliban security checkpoints to come within 5 meters of a gathering of U.S. soldiers, translators and collaborators before detonating his explosives. US President Joe Biden later vowed to complete the evacuation of American citizens and others from Afghanistan. He also promised to avenge【复仇】 the deaths.极端组织发布的声明中称，袭击者当时设法越过塔利班的安全检查站，到达了距美国士兵、翻译及合作者聚集处约5米范围内，然后引爆了炸药。美国总统拜登后来承诺将继续完成美国公民和其他人从阿富汗的撤离计划，并为死者报仇。U.S. President, Joe Biden拜登，美国总统Been a tough day. We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay.这是艰难的一天，我们不会原谅，我们不会忘记，我们会追捕你们，让你们付出代价。Biden had pledged to get every American who wished to leave out of Afghanistan.

The poll, conducted from Aug 14 to 17, found 49 percent of respondents approve of Biden’s job performance, sliding below 50 percent for the first time.但美国媒体的最新民调显示，在新冠肺炎疫情反弹和阿富汗混乱撤军的双重压力下，拜登的支持率突破其7个月执政期以来的历史新低。这项于8月14日至17日进行的民调显示，仅有49%的美国受访者对拜登的工作表现表示认可。这也是自拜登就任总统以来,其工作表现民调支持率首次低于50%。#热词加油站kindergarten【幼儿园】inoculation【接种】internship【实习】sophmore【二年级生】uptick【小幅增加】protocol【协议】trepidation【忧虑】condemn【谴责】carnage【杀戮】avenge【复仇】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”

Although the rate of operations resumption is lower than last year, and many technological products have been blocked, these results show we are capable of overcoming these difficulties.首先是门槛由去年的（单企业总营收）73亿元提高到84亿元。第二"上海百强"营收增长将近5%，资产增长将近10%。克服了全年开工率比往年都低，很多技术产品受到阻遏的情况下，我们克服了这些困难才能取得。所以确实是来之不易。Oriental Pearl Group, which is owned by Shanghai Media Group, ranked No. 89 on the list.上海广播电视台、上海文化广播影视集团有限公司旗下的上海东方明珠股份有限公司名列榜单第89位。2.CHINA’S MARINE ECOLOGY SHOWING SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT自然资源部：海洋生态保护修复持续增强The country’s environment officials said this morning during a press conference that the overall quality of China’s coastal waters has improved significantly. Zhang Yue has more.中国生态环境部相关负责人在今天（8.26日）召开的例行发布会上介绍，中国沿海水域总体水质已得到显著提高。The country’s marine ecology has improved substantially in recent years as the proportion of clean water in coastal waters nationwide last year was 82.3 percent, up by 9.3 percent. Since the Bohai Sea went under comprehensive environmental governance, the overall ecological quality of the sea has improved. Surface water quality in China is divided into five classes, with Class I being the best.近年来，中国的海洋生态有了很大的改善。去年沿海水域清洁水的比例为82.3%，增长了9.3%。渤海实施综合治理以来，海洋整体生态质量有所提高。中国地表水质分为五类，其中Ⅰ类水质最好。INTERVIEW:Zhang Zhifeng, China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment张志锋 生态环境部海洋生态环境司 副司长So far, 8891 hectares of coastal wetlands【沼泽地】 along the Bohai Sea coastline have been restored and we’ve focused on marine ecological protection for 37.5 percent of the offshore area around the Bohai Sea.攻坚战期间，环渤海三省一市共完成滨海湿地修复8891公顷，整治修复岸线132公里，37.5%的渤海近岸海域划入海洋生态保护红线区，海洋生态保护修复持续增强。China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment also conducts daily investigations in medium and high-risk regions to accelerate the transfer of medical wastes as part of a comprehensive【全面的】 plan for the management of the COVID-19 pandemic.中国省级生态环境部也在中高风险地区进行日常调查，以加速医疗废物的转移，作为COVID-19大流行管理综合计划的一部分。INTERVIEW:Liu Youbin, Spokesperson, China’s Ministry of Ecology and Environment  刘友宾 生态环境部新闻发言人As of August 24, daily capacity for medical waste disposal in medium to high-risk regions stood at 669 tons, 830 tons less than the peak time on August 11. Major hospitals have been successful in treating their daily waste.医疗废物处置方面，截至8月24日，处置量为669.26吨，较8月11日高峰时处置量减少830.59吨。全国中高风险地区医疗废物处置平稳有序，涉疫医疗废物均得到安全收运处置，做到日产日清。Regulations on Medical Waste Management state that in cases of leakage and possible spreading of harmful microorganisms, temporary storage time for medical waste within a medical and health institution should not exceed 48 hours.《医疗废物管理条例》规定，在发生泄漏和有害微生物可能扩散的情况下，医疗废物在医疗卫生机构内的临时储存时间不得超过48小时。3.CUSTOMS SHORTEN CHIP INSPECTIONS FOR MANUFACTURERS上海海关试点查验新模式，助力芯片企业“随到随产”The customs inspection【检查】 procedure for integrated circuits has been speeded up on a trial basis. With global shipments slowing as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the shorter clearance time helps manufacturers reliant on imported chips. Sun Siqi has the story.上海海关对集成电路的查验流程改革，可节省两天流转时间。新冠病毒大流行导致全球出货放缓，更短的清关时间有助于制造商使用进口芯片。Customs inspectors were changing and air blasted to enter a dust-free room, where boxes of integrated circuits are opened and inspected. The chips were imported by a company that makes LCD screens for passenger vehicles. They need to be kept free of particles before being installed into the screens. Customs doesn’t have this type of facility, thus, the vacuum【真空】 packed chips were previously escorted to the factory and then inspected there by customs officers. This took time and could result in hefty compensation payments should a client order not be delivered on time.穿上无尘服、带上防静电帽，穿过风淋门，走进企业的洁净室，为了查验这一片片"娇贵"的芯片，海关关员全副"武装"、避免灰尘入侵。这种集成电路是由一家为乘用车生产液晶显示屏的公司进口的。在将芯片安装到滤网中之前，需要确保芯片没有颗粒。海关没有这种设施，因此，真空包装芯片需要提前送到工厂，然后由海关官员在那里进行检查。这需要时间，如果客户订单不能按时交付，可能会导致巨额赔偿。INTERVIEW:Yin Tingting, Shanghai Logistics Director, Tianma Microelectronics殷婷婷 天马微电子股份有限公司上海区域物流部总监Customs needs two to three days to arrange the escort, and that extends our production cycle and lowers delivery capacity.流转需要2-3个工作日，会拉长我们整体的清关周期，造成我们生产周期拉长，（产品）交付能力会下降。But now, customs officers are going to the factory after the outer containers of the chips were inspected at the port.现在海关在口岸实行外包装查验后，企业提货至工厂洁净室，再由海关赴企业洁净室进行拆箱查验。INTERVIEW:Zhao Yichun, Freight Inspection Division, Shanghai Pudong Customs  赵一春 上海浦东海关物控查检处副处长This way, the shipment is inspected the minute the company receives it.企业可以第一时间提货，同时我们可以在货物到达企业的同时，我们可以进行相关的查验。The new procedure is about 2 days quicker. Eight tech firms in Pudong are part of the trial. It will eventually be expanded to more companies.新程序大约可以节省2天的时间，在浦东新区，目前已有8家高新技术企业纳入首批试点，计划将进行进一步推广。#热词加油站headquarter【总部】revenue【收益】wetlands【沼泽地】comprehensive【全面的】inspection【检查】vacuum【真空】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

It made me feel like I was back in the Han Dynasty when I was dressed in Hanfu. 很有意思，穿上汉服就能感受古代的意境。China’s imperial examination system dates back to the Sui Dynasty over 2,000 years ago. The exam was held annually as a way to recruit talent for the government. The system had lasted for over 1,000 years before it was finally abolished【废除】in 1905, as part of the Qing Dynasty’s attempts at modernization.科举是中国古代通过考试选拔官吏的制度，创始于2000多年前的隋朝，经过1000多年的兴衰起落，最终因清政府推动现代化发展而废除于1905年。INTERVIEWYang Xuezhi, Curator杨学智，策展人This exhibition highlights the importance of education and encourages young people to study hard by telling the inspiring stories of ancient scholars who strived for years to earn recognition from the emperor’s court.举办这个以古代科举制度为主题的展览，为的就是突出教育的重要性，希望用古代人的寒窗苦读和学子们考取功名的励志故事激励现代年轻人多读书。The exhibition runs until December 19th and costs 78 to 138 yuan per person.

The Organizing Committee of Tokyo Olympic Games responded today that the part of the medal that came off was not the gold plating【镀层】, but a coating【覆盖层】applied to the surface of the medal. The Tokyo medals were a new experiment for the Olympic Games, as they were made from metal extracted from electronic devices donated by people in Japan.朱雪莹表示，自己看到金牌上缺了一小块，以为是污渍，擦不掉就用手抠了一下，没想到掉了更大块。针对各方疑问，东京奥组委今天（25日）回应称，剥落的部分是奖牌表面的保护膜，并不是镀金层。本届东京奥运会的奖牌，为了特别展现环保和节约，都是取材于废弃电子设备，是奥运会的一次新尝试。#热词加油站coating【覆盖层】 plating【镀层】trampoline【蹦床】 abolish【废除】 compartment【隔间】 plaque【匾牌】 calligraphy【书法】 arithmetic【算术】imperial examination【科举】immersive【沉浸的】 crude oil【原油】shale oil 【页岩油】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Like！中国节---处暑大家好，今天是处暑, The End of Heat.处暑 means 出暑，out of heat，which refers to the official goodbye to summer heat.After the End of Heat, the temperature gap between day and night widens, making people more susceptible to common colds and influenza. Here in Shanghai, the day-and-night temperature gap ranges between 8 and 15 degrees Celsius, so please pay attention to it and choose the right clothes.Signature plants for 处暑 period include 昙花, the night-blooming cereus, or moon flower. It usually blooms during the 处暑 period because of the warm days and cool nights. The white and fragrant flowers blossom at night and wilt before morning.昙花 has long been a symbol of yearning for a beautiful life. If you are a gardener, take a photo when your moon flower opens and post it on your Moments. It will make you the focus of social media. 昙花 is beautiful for sure, and it is also a medicine. You can either steep the petals in your tea or stew it in your soup. TCM practitioners say it’s good for the respiratory system.During the End of Heat period, one folk tradition calls for eating duck, which is a cooling food under TCM. The most renowned one is 北京烤鸭 Peking Roast Duck. This dish is known worldwide for its shiny color, crispy skin and tender meat. Pickled duck from Nanjing 南京盐水鸭, Cantonese-style roast duck 广东烧鸭and ginger duck from Quanzhou 泉州姜母鸭 are other delicacies you can reward yourself with during this period. For people here in the city, 上海酱鸭，stewed duck in soy sauce is a favorite. It’s a typical Shanghai dish with a thick red oily sauce. According to TCM, duck meat is good for the skin. Hmm, sounds like a good excuse for me to devour some duck meat during the dry autumn.处暑到，酷暑消，愿你神清气爽，秋日无愁。

Song Wenjing has more.国家统计局表示，7月份国民经济继续稳定恢复。但由于国内疫情多点散发，部分地区受到自然灾害，外部不确定性加大，工业和零售增长速度有所放缓。China’s value-added industrial output, an important economic indicator, went up 6.4 percent year on year in July as production demand continued to recover. The figure was down by 1.9 percentage points than that of June, and higher than that of the same period in 2019 and 2020.7月份，随着生产需求持续复苏，作为重要经济指标的全国规模以上工业增加值同比增长6.4%，比6月份回落1.9个百分点，高于2019年、2020年同期增速。In terms of consumption, the consumer price index last month rose 1 percent year-on-year, down from 1.1 percent in June. The bureau said with an increasingly complex and severe external environment, the economic recovery will be unstable and uneven【不均衡的】, but economic growth was in line with expectations.在消费方面，上个月的全国居民消费价格指数同比上涨1.0%，比起6月份的1.1%有所回落。统计局表示，在外部环境更趋复杂严峻的背景下，经济恢复仍然不稳固、不均衡，但经济增长水平符合预期。Fu Linghui, SpokespersonNational Bureau of Statistics付凌晖，国家统计局新闻发言人In the first half of this year, the economy grew by an average of 5.3 percent in two years, 0.3 percentage points faster than in the first quarter, which indicates that the economy as a whole has maintained a recovery trend.今年上半年，经济两年平均增长5.3%，比一季度加快了0.3个百分点，说明经济总体保持恢复态势。Fu said commodity【（大宗）商品】 prices remain an issue, adding that they are expected to remain relatively expensive due to the overall recovery of the global economy, increased market demand, and a tight supply from major raw material producers.付凌晖表示，大宗商品价格仍将是一个问题。他补充说，由于全球经济整体复苏，市场需求增加以及主要原材料生产国供给偏紧，国际大宗商品价格高位运行还会持续一段时间。The country’s housing market continued to be stable in July, with increases in home prices in 70 major cities slowing down. New home prices in four first-tier cities—Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou—rose 0.4 percent month-on-month, 0.3 percentage points slower compared to June.

Remember, you should be wearing a mask even if you have been fully vaccinated.对普通公众来说，除了在商场等密闭场所需要戴口罩外，当处于人员密集的露天广场、剧场和公园等室外场所时，也需要佩戴口罩。提醒一下，接种新冠疫苗以后，仍需坚持佩戴口罩。There’s a difference between a disposable medical mask and a "surgical" mask. The latter has to meet higher standards in its level of protection against droplets. Look for the words "waike" or "surgical" on the packaging when you’re purchasing the latter.一次性使用医用口罩和医用外科口罩有所区别。医用外科口罩对飞沫的防护力度更大。购买时，认准“外科”字样。The new guidelines also specify three professional groups, personnel involved with imported goods, those in hospitals and clinics and those working in areas with frequent interpersonal exchanges, like police officers or delivery workers. The third group is now asked to wear at least a surgical mask during their shifts.新版戴口罩指引中，重点职业人群主要涉及境外输入和污染传播高风险岗位、医疗机构工作人员和公共场所服务人员比如警察、快递员等三类人群。公共场所服务人员现要求工作期间全程佩戴医用外科口罩或更高防护级别口罩。If you’re going to a hospital or use any form of public transportation that goes out of town, you should be wearing a surgical mask or higher. Replace the mask after you leave. Remember, whatever kind of mask you wear, you have to discard it and replace it after a total of eight hours of wear.到医院就诊时，或在跨地区公共交通工具上，佩戴医用外科口罩或更高防护级别口罩。离开以上环境后，及时更换口罩。无论使用哪种口罩，每个口罩累计佩戴时间不超过8小时。The guidelines add that you should hang masks in a clean, dry and ventilated【通风的】 area, and keep a spare on hand. In case of breathing difficulties, take the mask off in a well-ventilated place.需重复使用的口罩在不使用时宜悬挂于清洁、干燥、通风处。外出要携带备用口罩。戴口罩期间如出现憋闷、气短等不适，应立即前往空旷通风处摘除口罩。3.AFGHAN PRESIDENT LEAVES COUNTRY, TALIBAN CONTROLS CAPITAL KABUL阿富汗局势重大变化：塔利班控制首都，前总统逃亡国外！Afghan President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani left the country last night as Taliban forces entered the capital city of Kabul and took control of the presidential palace.

HEALTH COMMISSION:CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAKS CAN BE CONTAINED疫情总体可控，少年仍需接种！国务院联防联控机制最新回应The National Health Commission said today that there are currently 156 medium and high-risk areas on the Chinese mainland, adding local COVID-19 cases have risen for 19 consecutive days. The commission also said the outbreaks can be contained【控制】. Zhang Yue has more.8月13日下午，国务院联防联控机制召开新闻发布会。国家卫健委介绍，截至13日，全国共有中高风险地区156个，本土确诊病例连续19天上升。我国面临短时间内多源多点发生疫情的复杂局面，但疫情风险总体可控。The commission said several clusters recently had emerged. As of 12 am today, more than 1,280 locally transmitted cases had been reported in 48 cities across 18 provincial-level regions. Among those cities, 36 have reported no new cases for more than five consecutive days.国家卫健委表示，近期我国多地相继出现聚集性疫情。截至8月12日24时，全国已有18个省48个市发生本土疫情，累计报告病例超1280例。不过这48个城市中，已有36个城市超过5天没有新增感染者报告。INTERVIEW:He Qinghua, Inspector, National Health Commission贺青华，国家卫生健康委疾控局一级巡视员Outside of Yangzhou, Wuhan, and Zhangjiajie, the other cities only have sporadic new cases now. Based on this situation, the recent outbreaks are controllable, and the possibility of a large-scale national outbreak is quite small.除了扬州、武汉、张家界市以外，其他的地市仅仅只是零星的病例报告。所以从这个情况看，全国的疫情风险总体可控，全国层面发生大规模的疫情风险是比较小的。The commission also noted that more than 60 million doses or coronavirus vaccines had been administered to minors aged between 12 and 17. Although Shanghai will begin vaccinating 15 to 17 year olds tomorrow, some places like Beijing, Hubei and Sichuan have already begun inoculating【接种】 youngsters. The commission said parents shouldn’t over worry about side effects【副作用】 since fewer teenagers experience them compared to adults.12-17岁人群接种新冠疫苗总剂次数超过6000万剂。8月14日，上海启动15至17岁青少年新冠疫苗接种，目前北京、湖北、四川等地均已陆续开展青少年接种工作。国家卫健委还指出，家长们无需过度担心青少年接种新冠疫苗会产生不良反应，其发生率并不高于成人。INTERVIEW:Wang Huaqing, Chief Expert, China CDC王华庆，中国疾控中心免疫规划首席专家Parents need to relax when taking their children to get inoculated and they need to tell their children not to be nervous. This will reduce psychogenic reactions.在接种疫苗的过程中，我们的家长和监护人陪着儿童去接种疫苗时，自己要放松，同时也要想办法不让孩子紧张，这样就可以大大减少心因性反应。The commission also said more than 777 million people on the mainland had been fully vaccinated as of yesterday, accounting for more than half of the population. It added that over 1.83 billion doses of coronavirus vaccines had been administered.会上还透露，截至8月12日，超7.7亿人完成全程接种，已超过全国一半人口。全国累计报告接种新冠疫苗18亿3245万剂次。2. AFTER-SCHOOL TUTORING SERVICES EXPAND RANGE OF CLASSES“双减”落地，课外班拓展真·兴趣课程The Ministry of Education recently introduced a set of guidelines to clamp down on【严格限制】 excessive homework being assigned and off-campus tutoring for students in grades 1 through 9. The guidelines also cover improving the quality of education and after-class services in schools. Zhang Yue tells us what some parents and students in Shanghai think about the changes.近日，教育部出台《关于进一步减轻义务教育阶段学生作业负担和校外培训负担的意见》，并从提高课堂教学质量、提升课后服务等方面明确了具体要求。那么，目前上海如何应对“双减”政策？来看记者的调查。At an off-campus tutoring center, parents are waiting to pick up their children. Some parents said they have already signed their child up for extra classes next month.一家培训机构门前，家长们正等着接孩子下课，不少人已为孩子报名了开学后的培训班。INTERVIEW:Student学生My teacher at the center said class will be as usual from Monday to Friday next month after the new semester starts. There will be no class on weekends.老师说（开学以后）周一到周五还是会有的，星期六星期天就没有了。Since the guidelines were released, off-campus training centers including Xueersi and New Oriental said they have already canceled classes featuring curriculum subjects that were scheduled on weekends. The guidelines also said off-campus training centers are not permitted to offer classes taught by foreign personnel who reside overseas. Under the new rules, training centers stopped selling online courses and shifted to other options.“双减”政策一经出台，学而思、新东方等培训机构便取消了安排在周末的学科类课程。由于《意见》规定“严禁聘请在境外的外籍人员开展培训活动”，不少机构暂停网络授课业务，另寻出路。INTERVIEW:EF Youth English Employee上海英孚青少年英语工作人员We had overseas teachers teaching classes both online and offline. Now we canceled our online classes and have foreign teachers based here who teach classes.我们也有一批境外的老师，只不过我们原来小学组是线上线下相结合，现在只招线下课，线上课不做了。Since June this year, many off-campus training centers have expanded their range of subjects to cover art, PE, and science. Experts say the new guidelines require supporting measures so they can be implemented easily, and parents also need to adjust their expectations regarding homework and help their children.今年6月开始，不少校外培训机构拓展其教学科目，开设美术、体育、科学等兴趣课程。专家表示，为保证《意见》顺利施行，有关部门需强化配套治理，家长们也应理性确定孩子成长预期，努力形成减负共识。INTERVIEW:Xiong Bingqi, Vice President, 21stCentury Education Research Institute熊丙奇，21世纪教育研究院院长If parents are more anxious than before, these off-campus training centers will likely move underground. Then the goal of reducing the burden on students will not be realized.如果家长对于这个培训需求没有疏导的话，那可能还会导致一个问题，那就是培训机构从以前的公开合法转向家庭、转向地下，这样的话既没有减轻学生的负担，也没有减轻家长的焦虑。Many said they are trying to balance their studying.许多家长、学生表示，他们正在积极配合“双减”政策。INTERVIEW:Student学生If you have self discipline and can learn independently, it doesn’t matter whether you go to after school tutoring or not. You need to make the best use of the time at school.有自学能力，有没有（培训班）都是一回事。所以（学校里）这点时间还是要抓住，很宝贵。INTERVIEW:Parent家长I think children should be given more opportunities to learn other things, including taking part in activities like chess and swimming.参加参加围棋、游泳、都行，我觉得小朋友应该全面一点。The Ministry of Education has pledged to adopt a strict approval and supervision【监管】 system of off-campus tutoring programs featuring curriculum subjects such as math and physics.教育部表示，将进一步建立健全审批、监管制度，对面向义务教育阶段学生的学科类校外培训机构严加管理。3.

The Double Seventh Festival isn’t a shopping festival like Double 5 or Double 11, it’s actually one of China’s traditional festivals，七夕节. It falls on the 7th day of the 7th Chinese lunar month. The festival is about the same age as the Great Wall of China, meaning it dates back 2,000 years. On May 20th, 2006, it was added to the National Intangible Cultural Heritage list by the State Council of China.七夕节, also known as Chinese Valentine's Day, is rooted in the legend about a cowherd 牛郎, a human being, and weaving girl 织女, a fairy. They fell in love at first sight and married. 牛郎 didn’t know that 织女 was a fairy and the seventh daughter of the Queen of heaven 王母娘娘. When the Queen of Heaven found out that 织女 had married to a mere mortal, she was furious and sent celestial soldiers to bring 织女 back. She removed her hairpin and created a huge river, known as the Milky Way, to separate the couple. However, their love was so strong and moved all the magpies, which formed a bridge over the river, and later they were allowed to meet each other once a year on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month.A famous Chinese poem 鹊桥仙 was written based on this legend. It says 两情若是久长时，又岂在朝朝暮暮，If love between both sides can last for aye，why need they stay together night and day? Renowned poet William Shakespeare in his Sonnet 116 said Love alters not with brief hours and weeks, but bears it out even to the edge of doom. It seems that love has long been an eternal theme for poets regardless of time or place.Here in Shanghai, we’ve got so many places that are full of love. 甜爱 Road is one of them, as its name indicates Sweet Love. Lovers would head to 甜爱 Road to take photos to record some sweet moments. The Blind Date Corner 相亲角 in People’s Park is also a place of love. Parents of single adults flock to the park in search of a spouse for their son or daughter. Take a stroll along the Bund in the daytime and you can explore the Lover’s Wall that measures 1700 meters long. It was a flood control wall and became a popular hangout for dating couples in the 1970s and 1980s. Thousands of young lovers used to come here on dates. Now the place is decorated with flowers and plants to add a more romantic vibe.In fact, no matter how you spend Valentine’s Day, what really matters is whom you spend it with. 愿天下有情人终成眷属！

The massive fire, which began on August 3, is the most severe of the hundreds of fires Greece has been enduring throughout the past week, destroying pristine【原始状态的】pine forests as well as homes and businesses and forcing the evacuation of hundreds of people by sea. Greece has been hit by its worst heat wave in three decades, which sent temperatures up to 45 degrees Celsius and turned its prized pine forests into tinderboxes【火药桶】.埃维亚岛邻近希腊大陆，岛上森林、水湾遍布。如今，烟雾和火山灰遮住了太阳，将天空染成橙色。希腊在过去一周中经历了数百场大火，而这场始于8月3日的大火无疑是其中最严重的一场。原始松树林、房屋、厂房被摧毁，数百人被迫从海上撤离。希腊遭受了30年来最强热浪的侵袭，气温高达45摄氏度，珍贵的松树林成了一点就燃的火药桶。INTERVIEW:Mina, Resident米娜 当地居民“Terrible.

During the last two weeks, fires also have burned tens of thousands of hectares of forest in Turkey’s Mediterranean and Aegean provinces, killing eight people and forcing thousands to flee to safety. In neighboring Italy, Venice’s St. Mark’s Square flooded twice over the weekend, which is unusual and out of season in the month of August.

National Stadium renovations【翻新，改造】 will be completed by October.今年早些时候，在北京市区、延庆区和临近省河北的张家口市举办冰上和雪上项目的所有12个比赛场馆都通过了一系列测试。包括主媒体中心和奥运村在内的9个非竞赛场馆项目中有8个已经完工。国家体育场的改造工作也将于10月完成。2. PUDONG INTRODUCES REFORMS FOR BIOPHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY改革之城再出新政，全新机制助力生物医药行业发展Pudong New Area, as a "pioneer of socialist modernization", is reforming the biopharmaceutical industry by introducing a joint supervision【监管】 system in Zhangjiang Science City. It will help new drugs reach the market quicker than ever before. Yuan Chenyue has more.作为“社会主义现代化建设引领区”的浦东新区，正在向张江科学城引入联合监管机制，对生物医药行业进行改革。这将让新药比以往更快地进入市场。Fruquintinib, China’s first independently developed drug for the treatment of metastatic colon cancer, went on the market in 2019. It was produced by a drug maker in Zhangjiang. Although the company had no production line, it completed commercial production quickly due to a new policy.呋喹替尼是中国第一种独立研发的治疗转移性结直肠癌的药物，于2019年上市。它是由张江的一家制药厂生产的。尽管该公司并没有生产线，但由于新的政策，它很快实现了商业化生产。Su Weiguo, Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals苏慰国，上海和黄医药首席科技官The new policy helped us reduce much early investment, and we didn’t need to spend money building a factory in the developing phase. We were able to outsource the production to others, but we are still responsible for the quality.新的政策帮助我们免除了很多早期的投资，我们不再需要在产品研发阶段就投入大量的资金去建厂。我们可以外包给任何人帮我们做生产，但是产品质量是我们负责。The company has 10 drugs in development. The company often needs special items such as microorganisms【微生物】 or blood, which require complicated customs approval procedures. Some items are required of overseas examination.该公司现有10种药物正在研发，时常需要一些特殊物品，例如微生物或血液样本，它们的入境需要通过复杂的审批程序，有些还要经过海外检测。Cui Yiling, Shanghai Hutchison Pharmaceuticals崔昳皊，上海和黄医药资深副总裁The reagent is special. We need small amounts, but we need it often. Reducing the clearance time can improve our efficiency.试剂很有特殊性，用量小，频率高，对时间性有要求。只有加快了进关的速度才会让整个研发过程变得更加顺畅、更加及时。To solve the problem, Pudong introduced a joint supervision system for biopharmaceuticals. A white list will be created that key RD companies can apply to join. A joint supervision platform will then be established for various authorities on risk control. Companies can apply for special items according to their needs. After receiving a customs clearance certificate, construction and transportation committees will supervise the transportation process. When the items arrive in the lab, 24-hour surveillance【监控】 cameras will be on and link with the health commission.为了解决这个问题，浦东推出了生物医药产业联合监管机制，将建立生物医药企业（研发机构）进口研发用物品“白名单”制度，各主要研发公司可以申请加入“白名单”。届时将为各风险防控部门建立联合监管平台，生物医药公司可根据需要申请入境研发用特殊物品。在收到清关证书后，建设和交通委员会将监督物品的运输过程。当这些物品到达实验室后，卫生健康委员会通过24小时监控摄像头进行实时监控。3. ASIAN ELEPHANTS APPROACH NATURAL HABITAT“离家出走”17个月，云南象群终于返乡The herd of 14 wild Asian elephants that has been roaming around south-west China’s Yunnan Province is approaching their natural habitat. Sun Siqi has more.一直在中国西南的云南省游荡的由14头野生亚洲象组成的北移象群，目前已经接近其自然栖息地。At about 8 p.m. Sunday, the herd crossed the Yuanjian River bridge with a little encouragement. According to the headquarters in charge of monitoring their migration, the herd could have not crossed the Yuanjiang River without using the road bridge as the water level is too high during the rainy season. More efforts will be made to ensure the security of the herd on their way back.周日（8日）晚8点左右，象群在人工引导下通过了元江桥。据负责监测它们迁移的现场指挥部称，由于雨季水位过高，如果不利用国道元江桥，象群不可能渡过元江。指挥部将继续科学引导，全力保障象群安全，帮助其尽快回归原栖息地。Shen Qingzhong, EngineerNatural Reserve’s Management Office沈庆仲，西双版纳国家级自然保护区管护局高级工程师Right now, it might have been an obstacle【障碍】 for them to cross the river. But now that they made it across the bridge, they’re much closer to their habitat.（元江）对它来说可能是一个天然障碍。现在它过去以后，离它的栖息地就更近了。It took the herd 3 minutes to cross the river since some of the younger elephants have grown during their journey. It has been around 17 months since the herd bid farewell to their natural habitat in a nature reserve in Yunnan’s Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture【地方行政区】.象群用了3分钟便过了河，其中的一些小象在先前的旅途中已经长大了。现在，距离象群告别它们在云南西双版纳傣族自治州自然保护区里的自然栖息地，已经过去了17个月。Shen Qingzhong, EngineerNatural Reserve’s Management Office沈庆仲，西双版纳国家级自然保护区管护局高级工程师Concerning how fast can they cross the bridge, apart from the food, it also has a lot to do with the younger elephants, and whether they can keep up with the speed of the rest of the herd.象群的迁移速度事实上除了跟食物有关系外，还跟小象能不能坚持下来很有关系。The elephants attracted nationwide attention after they left the reserve in Yunnan province last year and walked more than 500 kilometers north. They reached the outskirts Kunming, the provincial capital, in early June, before turning back towards the south. Local authorities have deployed personnel and drones to monitor the elephants, evacuated roads for them so that they could pass safely and used food to distract them from populated areas. The Yunnan provincial government said it will continue to help the elephant herd return to their natural habitat as soon as possible.这些大象去年离开云南省的自然保护区，向北走了500多公里，引起了全国的关注。它们于6月初到达省会昆明市郊，然后南返。相关部门已部署人员和无人机监测大象并疏散道路，以便它们能够安全通行，并利用食物使它们避开人口密集区。云南省政府表示，将继续帮助象群尽快返回其自然栖息地。#热词加油站renovation【翻新，改造】supervision【监督，监管】microorganism【微生物】surveillance【监控】obstacle【障碍】Prefecture【地方治安区，行政区】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

The patient had not traveled to a medium or high-risk area or had any known contact history with COVID-19 patients, asymptomatic carriers, close contacts or imported frozen food in the past two weeks. 同时，已排查到在沪的68517名筛查对象，核酸检测结果均为阴性。根据市疾控中心的流行病学调查和基因测序，该病例在发病前14天没有接触过外省市相关病例、无症状感染者和密切接触者，发病前14天内没有国内中高风险地区旅居史，也没有进口冷链物流接触史。INTERVIEWWu Huanyu, Deputy DirectorShanghai CDC吴寰宇，上海市疾控中心副主任The man put himself at high-risk as he unzipped his protective clothing in a contaminated【污染的】environment between July 22nd and 23rd.

But we found it is unrelated to other active clusters in China. 病例在7月22-23日中曾有在污染环境中解开防护服等高风险行为。病例发病时间符合新冠肺炎发病的潜伏期特征。基因测序结果显示，该病例感染的新冠病毒属于德尔塔变异株。经比对，与近期国内多地本土病例基因组无关联。With concerns mounting about whether vaccines are still effective against the variant, Dr. Zhang Wenhong said the best strategy is still to wear a mask, wash your hands frequently and get vaccinated.对于国产疫苗面对变异毒株的效力问题，张文宏表示，一是要坚决贯彻疫苗接种的策略，二是要加强个人卫生。INTERVIEWZhang Wenhong, Head PanelistShanghai COVID-19 Treatment Team张文宏，上海市新冠肺炎临床救治专家组组长Compared to other strains there’re more cases where the Delta variant broke through the vaccine’s protection. However, one has to admit that the vaccine greatly reduces the rate of severe illness or death. If the World Health Organization acknowledges that the mutant strain completely evades【逃避】the vaccines, researchers will start developing new vaccines against it. 但是大家无一例外可以看到，疫苗对于德尔塔毒株引起的重症化和死亡是出现急剧下降的，也就是说现在的疫苗对于德尔塔毒株的保护作用是毋庸置疑的。如果一旦世卫组织确认病毒变异已经完全逃避了疫苗对它的作用，也请大家放心，针对病毒的疫苗也会随之被研发出来。Dr. Zhang still called for the public to reduce gatherings, protect themselves, go to the hospital as soon as they have a fever or cough, and never try to hold out with home medications. 张文宏同时表示，减缓社会流动对阻断病毒的二次传播有巨大作用。而一旦出现发热、咳嗽等症状，请佩戴医用口罩及时前往发热门诊就诊。2.

She thanked International Olympic Committee for living up to the Olympic values and showing that sport is for all.尽管没有进入最后一轮，哈伯德还是微笑着比了个心，然后结束了此次奥运征程。她表示，体育运动属于所有人，国际奥林匹克委员会没有辜负奥林匹克价值观。INTERVIEW:Laurel HubbardNew Zealand Weight-lifter哈伯德 新西兰举重运动员“I’m just so grateful that I’ve had the opportunity to come here and be me. I don’t think it should be historic. I think that, as we move into a sort of new and more understanding world, people are starting to realize that people like me are just people.”我很感谢有这个机会可以参赛，可以做我自己。我不认为这应该是历史性的时刻，我觉得当我们进入一个全新且更加包容的世界，人们会开始意识到，像我这样的也只是一个人。Hubbard was born male and competed in weightlifting at junior level. She transitioned eight years ago, resumed weightlifting and became eligible for the Games under a 2015 IOC consensus allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s events. There have been fierce disputes on the issue. Some have argued that relatively little research has been conducted on transgender athletes, making it hard to gauge the extent of physical advantages that could remain after transitioning. In other news,the IOC decided to launch an investigation to clarify the facts around the case of Krystsina Tsimanouskaya, the Belarusian athlete who was granted sanctuary in Poland after she feared for her safety when her team’s officials tried to force her to fly home.哈伯德曾是男性，是一名初级举重运动员。八年前，她完成了性别转变。2015年，国际奥委会达成共识，允许变性运动员参加女子项目。这一举动在当时的国际舆论上引发巨大争议。一些人认为，对变性运动员的研究相对较少，因此很难衡量变性后身体所占的优势。此外，国际奥委会决定展开调查，以弄清有关白俄罗斯奥运选手齐马努斯卡娅拒绝回国一事。这位白俄罗斯运动员因担心自己的安全拒绝登机，波兰方面当天向齐马努斯卡娅发放了签证。此前，白俄罗斯奥运代表团试图将其强行遣送回国。2.OODLES OF NOODLES AT AI COMMUNITY CANTEEN帮你照顾好爸爸妈妈的胃~上海首家AI社区智能食堂来了！The city’s first AI community canteen is now officially open to the public at Hongqiao Community in Changning District.

Seniors can pay with their senior card. Our recipes are also designed for the elderly, including those with diabetes and high blood pressure.”在整个过程中，不需要办卡、注册会员，不需要使用手机，老年人在这里消费，只需要拿菜，最后视觉识别结算，刷老年卡就可以。针对老年人，我们还做了一些菜品上的设计，比如很多菜会做得比较软糯，有糖尿病、高血压的，我们也会在食谱上进行一些考虑。The AI system also monitors the supply and demand of each dish and will command the robots to prepare more if certain dishes are popular. The canteen has seen more than 200 people each day since opening on a trial basis last month.

Checkpoints are in place at the main roads in and out of downtown and at highways into other provinces.将继续严格实施重点小区的封闭管理，主城区进出通道严格管控、与外省市接壤道路设置卡点等措施。In Hubei Province, Wuhan reported seven cases today.

Cleaning crews for domestic and international flights are not separated. The first infection happened on July 10th, but was not reported until July 20th. With more than 600 flights in and out of Lukou per day, it means tens of thousands of travelers were potentially exposed to infection over 10 days. Health experts say maintenance staff at airports should be divided by risk level. Those in high-risk groups should not have contact with others. They should be prohibited from leaving their work and living area except when being transported in a special vehicle. They should also be tested for the virus more often.本轮疫情以及今年早些时候的另外两轮疫情的源头都是入境航班，工作人员指出南京禄口机场在疫情防控方面存在漏洞。负责国内和国际航班的保洁人员没有区分开。第一次感染发生在7月10日，但直到7月20日才报告。每天进出禄口机场的航班超过600架次，这意味着在10天内有成千上万的旅客可能受到感染。卫生专家表示，机场的工作人员应该按工作风险等级区分开来。高风险工作人群不应与其他群体接触，除非乘坐专用车辆，应禁止离开工作和生活区域，并应更频繁地接受核酸检测。Beijing reported a new case today as a close contact of an infection discovered last Thursday.

I feel grateful.审核完成到放款，三个工作日我的赔款已经到我的账户了。坦白来说“沪惠保”对我的帮助就是如果没有这个保险，我们可能不会去用这个药，因为对普通家庭来说这笔开销其实很大的，所以我还是很感谢政府和保险公司的。The Huhuibao plan costs 115 yuan per year.

Imagine that you didn't have to work today! You've worked Monday to Thursday, got everything done and now you have THREE DAYS FREE! Sounds amazing right? Well, pretty much everyone in the Nordic country of Iceland gets to do just that. Long before the pandemic the country started an experiment that shifted one percent of the population to a four-day working week. This week we wanted to look at this -- this holy grail of work life balance -- and see if people think it would work here in China.Host: Timothy Pope / Zhang Shixuan 

NEWS ON 07/301.NANJING COVID-19 CLUSTER SPREADS南京疫情传播链再延长！全国打响防疫阻击战2.CHINA CLAIMS 2 GOLD MEDALS IN THE POOL“霏”常精彩！中国游泳队再摘两金3.NEW CHINESE AMBASSADOR TO U.S. DELIVERS REMARKS UPON ARRIVAL抵美履新！秦刚任中国驻美国大使-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1.NANJING COVID-19 CLUSTER SPREADS南京疫情传播链再延长！全国打响防疫阻击战The National Health Commission reported 24 new local COVID-19 cases on the mainland, 20 of them in Jiangsu Province, 3 in Sichuan, and 1 in Beijing. Two asymptomatic【无症状的】 carriers were reported -- one each in Hunan and Sichuan. And earlier today, one case was confirmed in Zhangjiajie in Hunan Province. Here’s Chen Xuan with a look at the developing clusters that originated in Nanjing.国家卫健委的消息，截至7月28日，内地报告新增新冠肺炎本土确诊病例24例，其中江苏20例，四川3例，北京1例。报告新增本土无症状感染者2例，分别来自湖南和四川。29日下午，张家界发现1例本土确诊病例。Among Jiangsu’s 20 cases, 18 were in Nanjing, and the other 2 were in Yangzhou. Nanjing now has 171 confirmed cases and two asymptomatic carriers since the cluster emerged on July 20th. The entire Lukou community in Jiangning District is now high-risk. Another six residential compounds were lifted to medium-risk【中风险地区】. Multiple community clusters have sprouted.江苏昨天新增的20例本土确诊病例中，南京市有18例，扬州市2例。自7月20日至7月29日，南京市已累计报告本土确诊病例171例及无症状感染者2例。根据相关防控规定，自29日起，南京市江宁区禄口街道全域调整为高风险地区，同时新增6个中风险地区。目前，多地出现散发疫情。Interview:Yang Dasuo, Deputy Director, Nanjing Health Commision杨大锁，南京市卫健委副主任In this picture, you’ll see where 155 patients live --most of them are in or around Lukou. The second picture shows the venues the patients have frequented -- most of them are in Jiangning District and downtown.大家可以看我带来的两张图，一张图是155个病例现住址街道的分布，大家可以看到基本上这些病例还是分布在禄口街道附近。还有一张图是病例的轨迹和现住址的图，主要是在江宁和主城区两块。As the third round of tests began on the city’s entire population, swab samples【样本】 are tested at different concentrations according to the area’s risk level: 10 swabs taken from a low-risk area are mixed into one tube to speed up the process. Five samples from a medium-risk area are mixed into one. And samples taken in a high-risk area are tested individually.目前，南京已经开展第三轮核酸检测，按照风险地区等级实行差异化采样检测——南京正在分区、分时段开展的第3轮全市全员核酸检测，将按照风险地区等级，实行差异化采样检测。高风险地区实行单检、中风险地区1:5混检、低风险地区1:10混检。Clusters that have sprouted outside Nanjing are all related to Zhangjiajie.多地出现无南京旅居史的感染者，而这些感染者都曾去往湖南张家界。The chain of transmission【传播】 likely originated in Nanjing, then to the tourist city in Hunan Province after three infected people in Dalian had a two-hour layover at Nanjing’s Lukou Airport on July 17th before traveling to Zhangjiajie.传播链的源头可能在南京，然后经来自大连的3名无症状感染者传播至湖南省，这3名旅客曾在南京禄口机场停留2小时，转机到达张家界。Sichuan Province reported three cases and one a symptomatic carrier yesterday -- two patients had traveled to Zhangjiajie, one carrier worked at Chengdu’s Tianfu Airport and was on the same flight with a family of three from Chengdu that were confirmed infected on Tuesday.7月28日，四川省上报3例确诊病例和1例无症状感染者——2例病例曾前往张家界，另一例病例在成都天府机场工作，曾与27日确诊的成都一家三口乘坐同一航班。In Hunan, the city of Ningxiang had an asymptomatic carrier yesterday. The man was traveling to Changde city in that province, and had been on the same tour boat as the family from Chengdu.湖南宁乡也于28日上报一例无症状感染者，该病患曾前往湖南常德，并与成都一家同乘一船。In Beijing, two confirmed patients emerged between yesterday and noon today, a couple that had recently traveled to Zhangjiajie.7月28日0时至7月29日12时，北京新增2例京外疫情关联新冠肺炎确诊病例，病例为夫妻关系，均为湖南张家界返京人员。Interview:Pang Xinghuo, Deputy Director, Beijing CDC庞星火，北京市疾控中心副主任All districts and departments have taken control measures from contact tracing to lockdowns. Genetic sequencing tests and epidemiological【流行病学的】 investigations【调查】 are underway. We’ve found 654 contacts and put them in quarantine. We’re still locating more contacts.目前，各相关区和部门已经采取密接追踪、封闭管控等疫情防控措施，相关流行病学调查基因测序及管控工作正有序展开。初步判断上述确诊病例密切接触者654人，已落实集中隔离医学观察措施，其他密接人员正在进一步核实中。The two patients live in suburban Changping district -- their compound and nine others nearby have been locked down. Residents from the same compound and workplace as the couple are asked not to leave Beijing unless necessary, and will need to present a green health code and a negative test result in the past 48 hours to do so.确诊病例现居北京市昌平区，目前病例所在小区及周边9个小区已实施封控管理。小区居民及这对夫妻的同事非必要情况下不能离京，如须离京则需出示绿色健康码和48小时内的阴性核酸检测结果。Here in Shanghai, city authorities are tightening controls on people who arrived from a medium to high-risk area. All such individuals should report to their residential committee or hotel within 12 hours of arrival.上海市防控办发布最新疫情防控有关要求，进一步加强对国内疫情中高风险地区来沪返沪人员健康管理的具体措施。所有来自或途经国内疫情中高风险地区的来沪返沪人员均需在到达12小时内上报居住地或酒店。People arriving from a high-risk area will undergo 14 days of quarantine【隔离】 and two tests. Those from a medium-risk area need to observe at-home isolation and two tests. Residents are advised not to go to a medium or high-risk area or abroad unless necessary.对来自高风险地区的访沪者实施14天集中隔离健康观察，和2次新冠病毒核酸检测。同时提醒广大市民，非必要不前往国内疫情中高风险地区，非必要不出境。Now doctors say the most effective protection is still getting vaccinated【接种】. Wearing a mask in public, washing your hands frequently and avoiding large gatherings are also good ways to reduce the risk of infection. Shanghai has no new local cases as of 7 am today -- all individuals in Shanghai related to a case have been tested negative.目前最有效的防疫措施依然是接种疫苗。在公共场所配戴口罩、勤洗手、避免聚众等也能有效降低感染危险。截至29日7时，上海市未出现本地确诊病例，所有密切接触者的核酸检测结果均为阴性。Interview:Zhang Wenhong, Director, Dept. of Infectious Diseases, Huashan Hospital张文宏，复旦大学附属华山医院感染科主任What we see here is a spreading model where the virus was introduced by flight and then quickly begins to spread in multiple cities. This has happened in multiple provinces within the past week. You might not have known the speed of this model in past clusters in China.从模式上来讲，就呈现一个通过航空线路的传播，迅速地向各地进行传播的模式，几乎集中在一个星期内分布到全国多个省市，以前这种快速地通过航空模式可能大家没有这么切实地感觉到。Infectious disease expert Zhang Wenhong adds that there’re not yet many cases with unknown source. This shows we have not yet entered a stage of widespread community infection. He says if more cases unrelated to Lukou Airport emerge in Nanjing, authorities may need to take tougher action.张文宏表示，在南京本地，南京其他区域并未出现较多的没有源头的社区病例，说明疫情还处于大范围社区弥散前阶段。如果南京出现较多与禄口机场无直接相关的病例，则标志着疫情规模会扩大，可能需要采取更为果断的措施。Zhang said the latest data from Chile showed China’s inactivated vaccines are close to 66 percent effective against an infection, 87.5 percent effective in preventing hospitalization and more than 90 percent effective at preventing ICU admissions. He says this demonstrates relatively high efficiency in preventing a severe coronavirus infection and even death.张文宏透露，根据智利最新发布的数据，中国灭活疫苗对预防新冠感染的有效性约为66%，预防患者的住院率保护力为87.5% ，预防ICU入住率的保护力高于90%，这表明中国灭活疫苗对新冠的重症化、住院甚至是死亡的预防具有较高的有效率。2.CHINA CLAIMS 2 GOLD MEDALS IN THE POOL“霏”常精彩！中国游泳队再摘两金China claimed two gold medals in swimming --- one in the women’s 200-meter butterfly and the other in women’s 4x200 meter freestyle relay【接力】. The country’s athletes have now won 14 gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics. 7月29日，中国游泳队在女子200米蝶泳和女子4x200米自由泳接力项目连获两金。截至当日12时，中国队已在本次东京奥运会赢得14枚金牌。China’s Zhang Yufei had a convincing victory in women’s 200 meter butterfly to win her first gold at the Tokyo Olympics. Zhang led from the beginning, winning with a time of two minutes and 3.86 seconds, slicing 0.2 seconds off the Olympic record set by compatriot Jiao Liuyang at London 2012.在女子200米自由泳项目中，中国选手张雨霏不负众望，取得个人首金。决赛开始，张雨霏没有给对手任何机会，一直遥遥领先，最终以2分03秒86的成绩夺冠，并打破焦刘洋保持的奥运会纪录，提升0.2秒。Later in the day, China broke the world record in the women’s 4x200 meter freestyle relay. Team China clocked 7 minutes and 40.33 seconds, 1.17 seconds faster than the previous record held by the Australians. Yang Junxuan set an early lead for China and Tang Muhan recovered the advantage though Australian challenger Emma McKeon caught up in the middle.随后，张雨霏和队友杨浚瑄、汤慕涵、李冰洁投入女子4*200米自由泳接力决赛。中国队惊艳四座，以7分40秒33的成绩摘得金牌，比前世界纪录保持者澳大利亚队快1.17秒。杨浚瑄为中国队早早确立了领先优势，尽管澳大利亚挑战者Emma McKeon在中间追赶，汤慕涵还是追回了优势。Zhang Yufei, fresh from her 200-meter butterfly gold just an hour earlier, maintained a 0.43 second advantage over second-place Australia before Li Bingjie jumped into the water. Li fended off the challenge from her American rival【竞争对手】 to win the gold for China.张雨霏虽一个小时前刚进行完200米蝶泳决赛，但仍能以0.43秒领先澳大利亚第二棒选手，并将优势传递李冰洁。李冰洁不畏来自美国选手的压力，为中国赢回金牌。Interview:Li Bingjie, Chinese Swimmer李冰洁，中国游泳队队员I want to challenge myself and show no fear for strong rivals when I saw them competing by my side.看到旁边都是强敌，我也想体现出自己那种不畏强敌、迎难而上的精神。Interview:Zhang Yufei, Chinese Swimmer张雨霏，中国游泳队队员The 200-meter freestyle is not my major training event. In the last 50 meters, I felt a strong power rising from the bottom of my heart, which pushed me to go all out to beat my rivals.我不是200自（游泳）主项，结果游到最后50米，就那种中国力量从心底燃起来，就不服输！我一定要跟你拼了！This is Zhang’s third medal in Tokyo after taking a silver in the 100-meter butterfly competition earlier this week. Li Bingjie has now won two medals, with the first a bronze in women’s 400-meter freestyle.继本周女子100米摘银后，张雨霏收获了她在东京奥运会的第三枚奖牌。李冰洁也收获了女子400米自由泳铜牌后的第二枚奖牌。3.NEW CHINESE AMBASSADOR TO U.S. DELIVERS REMARKS UPON ARRIVAL抵美履新！秦刚任中国驻美国大使Upon his arrival, China’s new Ambassador【大使】 to the United States, Qin Gang said that he believes the door of China-U.S. relations, which is already open, cannot be closed. 中国新任驻美国大使秦刚于7月28日抵达美国履新。当晚，他在华盛顿向中美媒体发表讲话时强调，中美关系的大门已经打开，就不会关上。Qin said fifty years ago, Dr. Henry Kissinger made a secret visit to China and opened the door to the normalization【正常化】 of China-U.S. relations during the Cold War. And now, China and the United States are entering a new round of mutual exploration and understanding, and are trying to find a way to get along with each other in the new era.秦刚表示，50年前，正值冷战时期，中美相互隔绝，富有远见的基辛格博士，不得不取道他途，秘密访华。当前，中美正在进入新一轮相互发现、认知和调试中，寻求新时代彼此相处之道。Interview:Qin Gang, Chinese Ambassador to the U.S.秦刚，中国驻美国大使Fifty years later today, as the 11th Chinese Ambassador to the United States, I can travel most openly and fly directly to this country. How the world has changed with the passage of time. I believe that the door of China-US relations, which is already open, cannot and should not be closed. This is the trend of the world, the call of the times, and the will of the people.50年后的今天，作为第11任中国驻美大使，我可以公开踏上正途，直抵美国。时过境迁，令人感慨。我相信，中美关系的大门已经打开，就不会关上。这是时代潮流，大势所趋，民心所向。The ambassador said he will follow through on the spirit of the phone call between the two presidents on the eve of the Chinese New Year, and seek to build bridges of communication and cooperation with all sectors of the United States.

Suqian City has reported two cases, both have moderate symptoms. Nanjing officials said most of the new cases were found through testing of key contact groups. Lukou Community, where the airport is, has started a fourth round of nucleic acid testing. 截至今日（28日）24点，此轮疫情南京市已累计报告无症状感染者2例、本土确诊病例153例，其中轻型81例、普通型68例、重型4例；宿迁市累计报告本土确诊病例2例，均为普通型。据南京相关负责人介绍，大部分新增病例为密集排查、重点人群筛查发现。目前，南京禄口机场所在的禄口街道已全面启动第四轮全员核酸检测。INTERVIEWYang Dasuo, Deputy DirectorNanjing Health Commission杨大锁南京市卫健委副主任We found most of the new cases were from the airport or surrounding areas. We have also discovered multiple community clusters passing around. 流调发现，近期新增病例主要还是集中在机场及周边地区，而且在报告的病例中已发现有多起聚集性疫情。Nanjing’s health commission asked people to avoid gatherings and protect themselves. More than 2,300 pharmacies in the city were asked to stop selling antibiotics【抗生素】, fever, and cough medications. The city now has four high-risk and 42 medium-risk areas. Gulou District suspended【暂停】the operation of public venues including 11 cinemas, 54 internet cafes and 43 sports venues. Tutoring and summer day care services have also been suspended. Supermarkets and farmer’s markets will stay open with limits on the number of people allowed in at one time, and similar measures were put in place in Qinhuai District and Jiangbei New Area earlier this week. Doctors say the cluster is the Delta variant -- a mutant strain that spreads faster and generates higher viral loads in a patient. People had milder symptoms at the onset of infection, leading to delays in hospitalization. 南京现有高风险地区4个，中风险地区42个。南京市卫健委特别提醒市民：务必不扎堆不聚集，做好个人防护。全市2300多家零售药店已暂停向市民销售（含网络销售）退热、止咳、抗病毒和抗生素等“四类药品”。鼓楼区已暂停11家电影院、54家网吧及43家体育场所营业，同时暂停培训机构（含托管）线下服务。农贸（集贸）市场、批发市场、商场超市等重点场所要落实限流等管控措施。早前，秦淮区及江北新区也已采取类似疫情防控措施。专家指出，引起此次疫情的是"德尔塔"变异株，传播速度更快，病毒载量更高，但因感染初期症状更轻，导致了就医不及时。INTERVIEWQiu Haibo, Jiangsu Team PanelistState Council Joint Prevention & Control Mechanism邱海波国务院联防联控机制综合组江苏工作组医疗救治组专家A smaller percentage of people had fever at the onset of infection with the Delta variant. Some had minor muscle soreness【酸痛】, fatigue or loss of smell. Others had no symptoms at all. Based on that, we ask people to get checked if they have a sore throat, fatigue, minor digestive tract symptoms or loss of smell or taste.这次德尔塔株感染以后发烧的比例更低了，尤其早期，发烧的病人更低了。他的症状可能就仅仅表现为乏力或者表现为嗅觉障碍，或者表现为轻度的肌肉酸痛，所以还有相对一部分病人是没有症状的。轻微的咽痛，轻微的乏力，或者出现了比如说一些轻微的胃肠道症状的时候，当然还包括一些比如说嗅觉障碍、味觉障碍的时候，我们应该去发热门诊或者是去看医生。Outside Nanjing, the cluster has infected 170 people in nine cities from five provinces. The city of Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province found a positive individual last night through tests on people who had just arrived from Nanjing. All downtown entertainment venues, education businesses and spas have been closed. Three carriers in Dalian, Liaoning Province and another one diagnosed on a different day in the city were found to have been to the same theater on July 22nd in the city of Zhangjiajie in Hunan Province. Zhangjiajie has categorized everyone who was at the theater that night as high-risk contacts. In Sichuan, three new local cases emerged in Chengdu -- a family of three who had traveled to Hunan within the past 10 days. They returned to Chengdu on Sunday. Each one is now in a stable condition at a hospital.除南京外，禄口机场疫情传播链条已蔓延至5省9地（11地，截至28日晚），感染病例数达170人。27日晚，一名南京抵扬人员在扬州友好医院就诊时新冠病毒核酸检测结果呈阳性，主城区娱乐场所、培训机构、洗浴中心等一律暂停开放。27日，大连再增1例本地确诊病例，该病例曾与大连26日通报的3例无症状感染者，同于7月22日晚在张家界观看魅力湘西剧场演出。经评估，7月22号晚第一场魅力湘西所有观众，均属于高风险人群。成都新增3例本土病例，为一家三口，曾在湖南旅游一周，于周日返回成都。目前三人均已接受隔离治疗，病情稳定。2. IMF SEES 6% GROWTH, WARNS OF UNEVEN GLOBAL RECOVERY喜忧参半——IMF预测全球经济复苏步伐日益分化The International Monetary Fund announced yesterday that it was maintaining its global economic growth forecast【预测】of 6 percent for this year, but warned of an increasingly uneven recovery around the world as the gap between rich and poor countries widens amid the pandemic. 国际货币基金组织昨天（27日）发布《世界经济展望报告》更新内容，将2021年全球经济增长预期维持在6%不变，但警告称，疫情面前全球经济复苏步伐正日益分化。The IMF puts China’s 20-21 growth at 8.4 percent, up 0.3 percentage points from its January forecast. Its projection for China’s economic expansion for 2022 remains unchanged at 5.6 percent. The fund said in its report that while the global economy is apparently on firmer ground, recovery would come across as divergent【分化的，不同的】amid high uncertainty caused by the pandemic. In China, effective containment measures, a forceful public investment response, and central bank liquidity【流动性】have led to a strong recovery.国际货币基金组织预计2021年中国经济将增长8.4%，较1月份预测值上调0.3个百分点，并将2022年中国经济增长预测维持在5.6%不变。报告提到，虽然全球经济正在稳步复苏，但全球经济增长前景仍然具有高度不确定性，经济体间的差距继续拉大。得益于有效的疫情防控措施、强有力的公共政策应对以及央行的流动性支持，中国率先复苏、增长强劲。3. YANG QIAN’S HAIR CLIPS ARE SELLING OUT IN YIWU新晋“带货王”！杨倩同款发卡成今夏新爆款China’s women’s three-on-three basketball team won a bronze medal tonight at the Tokyo Olympic games, defeating France 16 to 14.

He urged the United States to change this highly misguided mindset and dangerous policy. The vice foreign minister noted that the U.S. side’s so-called "rules-based international order" is designed to benefit itself at others’ expense, hold other countries back and introduce "the law of the jungle". This is an effort by the United States and a few other Western countries to frame their own rules as international rules and impose them on other countries.谢峰在会谈中指出，中美关系目前陷入僵局，面临严重困难，根本原因就是美国一些人把中国当作“假想敌”，他敦促美国改变极其错误的对华认知和极其危险的对华政策。谢锋表示，美方抛弃国际社会广泛接受的国际法和国际秩序，破坏自己曾经参与构建的国际体系，另起炉灶抛出所谓“基于规则的国际秩序”，无非是想耍赖，想篡改规则限制别人、谋利自己，是想施行弱肉强食、以大欺小的“丛林法则”。INTERVIEWXie Feng, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister谢锋，中国外交部副部长We also expressed strong dissatisfaction with the U.S. regarding its wrong words and actions on issues such as COVID-19 origin tracing, Taiwan, Xinjiang, Hong Kong and the South China Sea.

One is of U.S. policies and allegations concerning China that Beijing says need correcting, and the other is a list of key cases concerning Chinese officials and people in the United States. In the first list, China has urged the U.S. to unconditionally remove visa restrictions on members of the Communist Party of China and their families, sanctions on Chinese leaders, officials and government agencies as well as visa restrictions on Chinese students. China has also urged the U.S. to stop suppressing Chinese enterprises, stop harassing Chinese students, stop suppressing Confucius Institutes, revoking【撤销】the designation of Chinese media outlets as "foreign agents" or "foreign missions," and to withdraw its extradition【引渡】request for Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou. In the second list, China has expressed concerns over cases about Washington’s rejection of some Chinese students’ visa applications, the unfair treatment of Chinese citizens in the U.S. as well as growing hatred against Asians and growing anti-China sentiments. It urges Washington to respect and protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens and institutions in America.谢锋表示，中方向美方提出了两份清单，一份是要求美方纠正其错误对华政策和言行的清单，一份是中方关切的重点个案清单。在纠错清单里，中方敦促美方无条件撤销对中共党员及家属的签证限制，撤销对中方领导人、官员、政府部门的制裁，取消对中国留学生的签证限制，停止打压中国企业，停止滋扰中国留学生，停止打压孔子学院，撤销将中国媒体登记为“外国代理人”或“外国使团”，撤销对孟晚舟的引渡等等。在中方关切的重点个案清单里，中方主要就中国部分留学生赴美签证遭拒，中国公民在美遭受不公正待遇，美不法分子滋扰、冲撞我驻美使领馆，美国国内仇亚、反华情绪滋长，中国公民遭暴力袭击等个案向美方表达严重关切，要求美方尽快解决，切实尊重、保护中国公民和机构在美的合法权益。#热词加油站recede【后退】downgrade【降级】dike【堤】reinforce【加固】rectify【修正】suppression【打压】stalemate【僵局】revoke【撤销】extradition【引渡】【比赛名称】butterfly【蝶泳】men’s 10-meter synchronized platform【男子双人10米台】freestyle【自由泳】skeet shooting【双向飞碟】artistic gymnastics【体操】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Other new high-tech like AI and AR is also coming into high demand for supporting international sports competitions, and the Chinese tech giants are doing pretty well at that, too.期待已久的东京奥运会于今日（23日）开幕。在严格的防疫措施下，东京奥运会是历史上首次观众席接近“空场”的奥运赛事，但国际奥委会和奥林匹克广播服务公司希望通过引入多项创新科技，辅助裁判打分，并为在家收看奥运赛事的观众提供全新的体验。东京奥运会采用云上转播技术，实现首次“云上奥运”，由中国的阿里巴巴提供云上支持。此外，人工智能和增强现实等多项新技术也亮相赛场，其中不乏中国科技公司的身影。Without wearing any sensors on your body, this screen can show just where you are and just what you’re doing, by recognizing the joints in your arms and legs. It’s even able to guess where joints like ankles are even if they’re covered up.即便你的身上没有任何传感器，这个屏幕可以通过识别你的胳膊和腿上的关节来展示你身处何地、在做什么。即便像脚踝这样的关节被遮盖住了，屏幕依旧可以识别它的位置。Zhang Shixuan, Reporter张诗旋，记者Just standing here, the system can detect my smallest movements, and you can see how it works with graphic arts. But actually the technology can be widely applied to international sports competitions as well, to help understand and analyze athletes’ gestures【手势】 and performance details.仅仅是站在这里，这个系统就能检测到我最为微小的动作。你也可以看到这一技术如何与平面艺术相结合。这项技术也可以广泛应用于国际体育比赛，帮助理解和分析运动员的姿势和比赛细节。Liao Hu, Senior Project ManagerSenseTime廖虎，商汤科技高级项目经理Our system can capture the sports action of every angle and every moment, for real time shot cutting in broadcast. And it can create a collection of the most exciting moments in a very short period of time. For example, if you want a collection of one of the athlete’s’ highlights, the AI technology can assemble it with just a one click. That was one of its earliest applications to sports.系统可以捕捉到每一个角度、每一个时刻的精彩，这样的话，可以完成实时镜头切换、转播、观赛，不放过每一个精彩的瞬间。可以在很短时间内，机器AI自动生成这些精彩集锦。AI更多的可以从大数据里面找到特征点，比如球场里面的一个运动员集锦，通过AI一键生成，去抓住特征、高光时刻、进球时刻，这是在体育比赛中最早的应用。Developed by Chinese tech giant SenseTime for streaming sports broadcasts, this is just one of the applications of the SenseMars system. Based on 3D rendering, real time navigation inputs and fast map-building technology, the system can also help visitors navigate as they walk around unfamiliar locations. It’s already being used in some scenic spots across China, such as the West Lake area in Hangzhou. Next year, it will be used at the Winter Olympics in Beijing, helping both fans and athletes find their way around the massive area.这只是中国科技巨头商汤科技研发的SenseMARS火星混合增强现实平台的一个应用场景。基于高精度三维数字化地图构建技术的导航导览功能，让观者更具身临其境的体验和参与感。近年来,商汤科技积极拓展多场景落地，“AR游西湖”就是一次成功的实践。明年，该平台还将助力北京冬奥会，为观众和运动员提供导航导览服务。The system has already been tried out at Beijing’s National Aquatics Center, widely known as the Water Cube. The Beijing Winter Olympics will also be using an additional AI system, Xiaoice, as an aid to the judges.商汤科技还携手国家游泳中心（水立方）打造了一款“水立方AR蓝海行动”。2022年北京冬奥会，小冰AI评分系统将作为助理裁判，辅助评判运动员表现。2.CITY DEPARTMENTS BRACE FOR INCOMING STORM迎战台风“烟花”，上海准备好了！And across Shanghai, city departments are bracing for the storm ... police, landscape and urban maintenance workers are unclogging drainage systems and calling ships in to port as suburban farmers are harvesting crops before In-fa destroys them.在上海，市政部门正在为台风的到来进行翻遍。警察和市容环卫工人正在疏通排水系统，并召集船只进港，而郊区的农民则正赶在“烟花”到来前抢收庄稼。As In-fa continues to approach the east coast, launched in June is getting its first test: In downtown Jing’an alone, 54 monitors send back accumulated rainfall data and trigger flood alerts.

Sun Siqi has more.本周一，意大利两家实验室研究人员发表论文称，在对2019年采集的血液样本进行检测后发现，样本中存在通常会在新冠病毒感染后所观察到的抗体。中国外交部发言人赵立坚表示，这也再次说明新冠病毒溯源问题的复杂性。Spokesperson Zhao Lijian said for a period of time, there have been more and more reports in the international community on indications of coronavirus in multiple places around the world in the second half of 2019. This demonstrates that source tracing for the novel coronavirus is a complex scientific problem, and that cooperation【合作】 from the world’s scientists based on a global perspective is needed.赵立坚强调，一段时间以来，国际社会上出现了越来越多的，关于2019年下半年全球多点多地出现新冠病例的报道。这也再次说明，新冠病毒溯源是一个复杂的科学问题，应基于全球视野，由全球科学家合作开展。Zhao also demanded the US show transparency【透明】 and conduct a thorough investigation【调查】 into its Fort Detrick lab in Maryland over the origins of COVID-19.他还表示美方应展现透明，切实采取措施彻底调查德特里克堡生物实验室，彻底调查疫情源头。INTERVIEW:Zhao Lijian, Spokesperson, Chinese Foreign Ministry赵立坚，中国外交部发言人The June issue of "Vanity Fair" reported that US State Department staffers were warned against investigating the origin of coronavirus because it would open a can of worms. As a matter of fact, the US has remained silent in face of the international community’s concern over its Fort Detrick lab and more than 200 of its biological labs overseas.今年6月《名利场》披露美国政府内部警告不要对新冠病毒的起源进行内部调查，否则可能打开装满蛆虫的罐子。事实上，对于国际社会针对美德特里克堡生物实验室以及美海外200多个生物实验室的严重关切，美方始终三缄其口。美方不给出合理解释，质疑就不会结束。Zhao also said that the doubt will not end if the US does not provide a reasonable explanation as to why US government staffers stopped investigating the virus’ origins.赵立坚强调，若美方不就其新冠溯源问题给出合理解释，质疑就不会结束。#热词加油站strand【滞留】temporary【临时的】fire brigade【消防队】logistics【后勤】patrol【巡逻】evacuate【疏散】cooperation【合作】transparency【透明】investigation【调查】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”

The claim that the SARS-CoV-2 leaked from a Wuhan lab goes against science, a senior official of the National Health Commission (NHC) said Thursday.Zeng Yixin, vice director of the NHC, said he was surprised to hear that some people have claimed the SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).The claim is disrespectful to common sense, and goes against science, Zeng told a press conference on the coronavirus origin-tracing work, which is held by China's State Council Information Office.Yuan Zhiming, director of the National Biosafety Laboratory at the WIV, said that his lab, which studies class four pathogens and boasts the highest biosafety rating, has not had any incidents of leakage since it was put into operation in 2018.Zeng added that some claims, such as so-called infection of three WIV staff, or the gain-of-function experiment on the novel coronavirus by the lab, are just rumors that have already been quashed.He noted that it is widely accepted by genetic engineers that the artificial modification of a virus will definitely leave traces. Novel coronavirus has no such trace, which totally rules out the theory that it was man-made.Up to now, none of the WIV staff members have been infected by the novel coronavirus, the lab has not carried out the gain-of-function experiment on the pathogen, and there is no so-called artificial novel coronavirus in the WIV, he reiterated.World Health Organization (WHO) experts said after visiting the WIV that it was "extremely unlikely" that the virus spread from a lab leak, Zeng added.

A Blue Alert for strong winds has started: watch out for level five to eight strong gale in 24 hours and torrential rain for the weekend – if you have to go out, make sure you leave home with your phone fully charged, and stay safe.  Try to void these places:  a. Flooded road segments, especially if you see a whirlpool because that means there might be a sink hole underneath that you could fall into. b. High-voltage power transmission towers c. Try not to stay at a low point for a long time, like an underpath, under a bridge and underground garage.  And I do know for a fact that most outdoor group activities this weekend like markets have been cancelled.  At home, be sure to secure your windows and balcony doors, protect your potted plants. Both you and your plants should be couch potatoes at home.

At the same time, a series of smaller storm systems keep churning vapor towards Zhengzhou. Together, they created the extreme weather condition that is breaking records. The rain will continue for the next three days in Henan. Stay safe from geological disasters induced by the storm and keep away from mountainous areas.首先是有一个稳定的大气环流形势；二是有一个充足的水汽条件，特别是在太行山和伏牛山的第一影响之下，也是出现了明显的符合抬升作用，第四则是列车效应，那么有非常多的中小尺度的对流系统在源源不断地如列车一般向郑州地区输送，导致郑州出现了历史同期罕见的强降雨。未来的天气趋势显示，今后三天在河南地区还会出现降雨天气，还要谨防雨水的不利影响，而在郑州地区明天到后天则会雨势减弱为小雨或中雨天气，请大家远离山区的危险地带，注意安全。Across the country, the Ministry of Transportation said 29 segments on 26 highways that pass through Henan Province were closed. 303 flights departing from Zhengzhou were canceled.

The three-child policy and its support measures are expected to prevent the fertility rate from declining further.未来一段时期，我国将持续面临人口长期均衡发展的压力。实施三孩生育政策及配套支持措施，目的就是防止出生人口进一步下滑。 Taking care of pre-schoolers is often a concern for parents.

Efforts will be made to ensure all students in need have access to such services.截至今年5月底，全国共有10.2万所义务教育学校开展了课后服务，有6500万学生参加了课后服务，确保今年秋季开学以后，实现学校全覆盖。我们的课后服务是自愿选择，只要你愿意留在学校参加课后服务，我们学校应该提供这样的条件和支持。Lyu said after school services will be provided every school day for no less than two hours, depending on the local daily work hours. Also, officials said how many children an individual has will also no longer be used as a reference when he or she registers for a household account, enrolls in school, or applies for a job.

SHANGHAI’S GDP EXCEEDS 2 TRLN YUAN IN THE 1STHALF-YEARUP! 2021年上半年上海GDP报告出炉Shanghai’s gross domestic product reached 2.01 trillion yuan in the first half of 2021, with all economic sectors on the rise. Lei Shuran has more.在2021年的上半年，上海的国内生产总值达到了2.01万亿元,各行各业的数据都在上涨。In the first 6 months of the year, Shanghai’s GDP increased by 12.7 percent over the same period last year. Other major economic indicators【指标】 showed continued improvements across the board, with added industrial value increasing by 20 percent and sending the sector’s total value to over 1.8 trillion yuan. 32 out of 35 industrial sectors achieved growth in the first half, according to figures released today by the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Statistics.今年上半年，上海国内生产总值比去年同期增长了12.7%。其他主要经济指标全面向好，工业增加值增长20%，超过1.8万亿元。根据上海市统计局今天发布的数据，在35个工业行业中，有32个在上半年实现了增长。The city’s consumption continues to increase as well, with wholesale and retail trade sales exceeding 900 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 30.3 percent.全市消费持续增长，批发零售总额突破9000亿元，同比增长30.3%。INTERVIEW:Zhuang Longde, Deputy Director, Shanghai Survey Team of NBS庄龙德，国家统计局上海调查总队副总队长The supply of major foods such as fresh vegetables and pork is sufficient【足够的】, and the prices of foods have been steadily declining. In the first half of this year, food prices fell by 0.2 percent year-on-year, compared to a 9.3 percent rise in the first half of last year. It is expected that CPI prices will remain stable overall in the second half. At present, the domestic supply of live pigs has basically recovered, and the price of pork is generally declining. In terms of industrial consumer goods, the rise in international bulk commodity prices will have a certain impact on the price of some industrial consumer goods, but the supply of industrial consumer goods is generally sufficient, and there is no basis for sharp price increases.从老百姓关心的食品价格看，鲜菜、猪肉等主要食品供应充足，食品类价格稳中有降。上半年，我市食品类价格同比下降0.2%，而去年上半年上涨9.3%。从后期走势看，预计下半年CPI价格将总体保持平稳。目前国内生猪供给已基本恢复，猪肉价格总体趋于下降。从工业消费品看，国际大宗商品价格的上涨会对部分工业消费品价格产品一定影响，但工业消费品市场供应总体比较重组，价格不存在大幅上涨的基础。The city’s total import and export of goods in the first half was about 1.88 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19 percent. The growth rate of imports was higher than that of exports.

The rain will continue for the next three days in Henan. Stay safe from geological disasters induced by the storm and keep away from mountainous areas.首先是有一个稳定的大气环流形势；二是有一个充足的水汽条件，特别是在太行山和伏牛山的第一影响之下，也是出现了明显的符合抬升作用，第四则是列车效应，那么有非常多的中小尺度的对流系统在源源不断地如列车一般向郑州地区输送，导致郑州出现了历史同期罕见的强降雨。未来的天气趋势显示，今后三天在河南地区还会出现降雨天气，还要谨防雨水的不利影响，而在郑州地区明天到后天则会雨势减弱为小雨或中雨天气，请大家远离山区的危险地带，注意安全。Across the country, the Ministry of Transportation said 29 segments on 26 highways that pass through Henan Province were closed. 303 flights departing from Zhengzhou were canceled.

Also, officials said how many children an individual has will also no longer be used as a reference when he or she registers for a household account, enrolls in school, or applies for a job.

#赞赞中国节大暑 Great HeatStart of Summer, Grain Buds, Grain in Ear, Summer Solstice, Minor Heat… all of these days have come and gone. This leaves us at Great Heat or 大暑- the last solar term for summer. It usually coincides with the "三伏天” or the "dog days of summer", the hottest days of the year.In China, Turpan is a tourist destination that is known as "fire land”. In the well-known Chinese novel "Journey to the West西游记," the Monkey King knocked over a kiln in heaven. The embers fell to earth and lit a mountain on fire,a blaze that lasted hundreds of years. This Flaming Mountain火焰山 was in the heart of Turpan. Although this is pure fiction,the ground temperature in Turpan can reach 80 degrees Celsius!In the summertime, we may lose our appetite. Foods cooling or neutral in nature and hydrating foods can bring relief from the heat. But my suggestion is lamb soup“喝暑羊”. It’s common in China even though you may take for granted that lamb is best in winter. But it is very nutritious to help us recover energy caused by the “Great Heat”.Here in Shanghai, you can find delicious mutton or lamb in Qibao ancient town in Minhang District. And during "三伏天”  or the "dog days of summer", foodies are eating lamb for breakfast as early as 4:30 am. As for me, I prefer staying in bed.But just in case, here are two yummy options for you. One is Qibao braised lamb 七宝红烧羊肉. It is said to been a favorite of Empress Dowager Cixi. The other one is Qibao boiled mutton, 七宝白切羊肉. It represents the best original flavor of mutton. You can always see tourists lining up for these dishes.大暑到，雷声高，细雨阵阵润心潮。愿你大暑心舒畅，大暑快乐！

This 30-day period is known to bring the year’s hottest weather, so reporter Sun Siqi tagged along with a French student studying TCM to experience hands-on learning.随着“三伏天”的开始，中医医院正在为那些在冬季会加剧的慢性病准备着夏季治疗。在这30天内，一年中最热的天气即将到来，因此记者Sun Siqi跟随一名学西中医的法国学生一起前去体验学习。Sun Siqi, ICS reporter孙思奇，ICS记者Bonjour, Thomas.你好，Thomas。Thomas Marie, second-year student,Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese MedicineThomas Marie, 上海中医药大学，二年级生Bonjour.你好。Sun Siqi, ICS reporter孙思奇，ICS记者Are you ready for the lesson on summer treatment for winter illness?你准备好开始“冬病夏治”的课程了吗？Thomas Marie，second-year student,Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese MedicineThomas Marie, 上海中医药大学，二年级生Yes, of course, let’s get on to it.  是的，当然了。让我们开始吧。Sun Siqi，ICS reporter孙思奇，ICS记者Alright.好的。Step one, the pulse and tongue diagnosis. I arrived with phlegm and chronic pharyngitis, or a throat infection. Thomas Marie, a second-year undergrad at Shanghai University of TCM, puts what he learned to use.第一步，脉诊和舌诊。我感觉自己有痰，可能是慢性咽炎，或是喉咙感染。上海中医药大学二年级学生Thomas Marie，在我这个病例上学以致用了。Thomas Marie，second-year student,Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese MedicineThomas Marie, 上海中医药大学，二年级生On your tongue, we can see that it’s slightly red, you have red dots on your tongue, which is usually too much fire in the body. But what’s most important is the coating – the coating of your tongue reveals there’s actually some kind of dampness. If the coating was more yellow, it would have a tendency to be damp heat. But here, white means it turns more towards damp cold.我们可以看到你的舌头有点发红，上面有红点，这通常是因为体内有太多火气。但是最重要的是舌苔——它反映了你体内湿气的情况。如果舌苔黄，则可能湿热。但在这里舌苔发白意味着可能是寒湿。The pulse, or mai, is read based on its strength and shape as the pulse passes through. A slippery【滑的】 pulse indicates dampness, a wiry one signals stress. Another 26 pulse characteristics have been recorded in TCM texts.脉搏，或者脉，把脉是要观察脉搏的形象与动态。滑脉表示有湿气，细脉表示有压力。包括这两种在内，中医文献主要记载有28种脉象。Sun Siqi，ICS reporter孙思奇，ICS记者Today, the diagnosis is that it is both weak and slippery, what does that mean?今天的诊断结果是脉搏又弱又滑，这意味着什么？Thomas Marie，second-year student,Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese MedicineThomas Marie, 上海中医药大学，二年级生It goes along with what your tongue is showing. The slippery pulse indicates dampness in the body. The weak is like diminution of either qi or blood. And the fact is that the dampness tends to block the qi, so that’s why your pulse becomes weak and slippery at the same time.它与你的舌头所显示的状况是一致的。滑脉表明体内有湿气。弱脉像是气血不足。实际上湿气会导致阳气阻滞，所以这就是为什么你的脉搏同时又弱又滑。Based on his diagnosis, a paste with herbs including perilla【紫苏】, cinnamon【桂皮】 and tatarian aster【紫菀】 is prescribed. The deeply fragrant paste is placed on the dazhui and feishu nerve points, then heated up. The summer treatment department is packed with regular patients who come for winter illness remedies.根据他的诊断，他开了一种含有紫苏、桂皮和紫菀等药材的药膏。这种药膏挺香的，可以敷在大椎、肺俞穴上，然后加热。夏季治疗部门挤满了前来治疗冬季疾病的常客。Zhu Qiaoyun，Patient患者I’ve had asthma since I was small. Every time I catch a cold, I feel like I can’t breathe. The first summer I came, there was improvement. This is the fourth summer I’ve done it now.我从小就有哮喘，每次感冒就会觉得好像喘不过气一样。在我来的第一个夏天，情况就有所改善了。现在这是我来的第四个夏天了。Wang Zhenwei，deputy director,Respiratory department, Yueyang Hospital王振伟, 岳阳中西医结合医院, 呼吸科，副主任医师In the respiratory department, patients with chronic coughs, bronchitis and obstructive pulmonary disease benefit from the summer treatment. People with recurring frost bite, arthritis and other conditions that worsen when it is wet and cold can also improve. In any case, a doctor will have to diagnose which organ your damp cold is trapped in.在呼吸科，慢性咳嗽、支气管炎和阻塞性肺病患者受益于夏季治疗。受反复性冻伤、关节炎和其在他湿冷天气下病情恶化的顽疾患者，病情也可以得到改善。不论如何，医生一定要诊断出是哪个器官出现寒湿现象。Thomas Marie，second-year student,Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese MedicineThomas Marie, 上海中医药大学，二年级生So here’s the paste treatment. You could also have moxibustion treatment. The moxibustion treatment would be all along the du meridian【经脉】 and the other meridian just next to it.这是膏药疗法。你也可以尝试艾灸疗法。艾灸疗法会沿着督脉和其他邻近的经脉来进行。Sun Siqi，ICS reporter孙思奇，ICS记者Is it the idea that you’re using summer’s heat to drive out the coldness and dampness that can get worse in winter?其中的原理是不是利用夏季的热气来驱散冬季可能会恶化的寒气和湿气？Thomas Marie，second-year student,Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese MedicineThomas Marie, 上海中医药大学，二年级生The main point is that summer is the point where yang is at its peak. So it’s the best moment to improve the yang of your body because you know your yang wouldn’t be specially attacked and get down.关键在于夏季是阳气最盛的时期。因为你知道的，此时你的阳气不会受损而减弱，所以这是增强你身体中阳气的最佳时机。Sun Siqi，ICS reporter孙思奇，ICS记者It was a really relaxing 20 minutes, and the idea is that you do the treatment every other day during the 30-day period with the year’s worst heat.这是非常放松的20分钟。通常医生会推荐，在一年中最热的30天里，每隔一天做一次治疗。To make the most of summer treatments, stay clear of icy drinks, stay away from overly air-conditioned rooms, and avoid taking cold showers and exercise regularly.为了充分发挥夏季治疗的效果，要远离冰镇饮料、远离空调过强的房间，还要避免洗冷水澡，并定期锻炼。3.2020 TOKYO OLYMPICS IS UNDER PREPARATION直面新冠疫情挑战，东京奥运大幕即将拉开！Preparations are underway as the 2020 Tokyo Olympics are set to open next week.

CHINA’S NATIONAL CARBON MARKET TO START TRADING IN JULY明码标价！碳排放权交易市场7月上线China’s national carbon emissions【排放】 trading market will commence trading this month. Carbon trading is the process of buying and selling permits to emit carbon dioxide or other green-house gases. Designated emitters will be given the right to release a certain amount of green-house gases.中国碳排放权交易市场将于今年7月启动上线交易。碳排放权交易，实际上是把二氧化碳等温室气体的排放权当作商品来进行买卖，买家将获权释放一定数量的温室气体。At the end of each cycle, emitters that exceed their limit will have to buy un-used permits to offset the extra emissions. Now Chen Xuan tells us more. Thank you, Bei.在每个周期结束时，碳排量超标者需购买购买未使用的排放许可证以抵消额外的排放量。Initial trading will be among the power companies, and the carbon emissions of these companies is estimated to exceed 4 billion tons of carbon dioxide. This means the country’s carbon trading market will become the largest in the world.目前第一个履约周期的预分配额已下发至能源企业，首批纳入的企业碳排放量预计超过40亿吨，我国也将成为全球规模最大的碳排放权交易市场。Interview：Yu Xiang, Research Institute for Eco-civilization, CASS禹湘，气候变化经济学研究室副室主任，中国社会科学院生态文明研究所Under the scheme, companies are assigned quotas for carbon emissions based on their output and industry-specific factors, and can sell excess emission allowances to those in need of more pollution quotas. In effect, the system would incentivize reducing pollution.对企业来说它应该多了一项可以管理的资产，如果它的配额不够的话，它可以通过碳交易来进行相关配额的购买。如果他的配额有所盈余，可以在碳市场进行出售。Regarding pricing, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment said it is very important as the carbon trading market will use price signals to guide the optimal【最佳的】 allocation of carbon-emission reduction resources, thereby reducing the emission reduction costs of the whole society.生态环境部表示碳价十分重要，因为碳交易市场是通过价格信号来引导碳减排资源的优化配置，从而降低整个社会的减排成本。Interview：Zhao Yingmin, Vice Minister, Ministry of Ecology and Environment赵英民生态环境部副部长As the national carbon market has not yet started, it is hard to say what the carbon price will be. However, judging from the operation of the pilot projects across the country, the weighted average carbon price in the past two years has been around 40 yuan per ton.目前，全国碳市场还没有启动，所以还不好说碳价是多少。但从过几年全国7个地方试点运行情况看，近两年加权平均碳价约在40到50元人民币之间。Zhao said the ministry is now considering designing policies such as improving allowance【限额】 allocation【分配方法】 methods and introducing offsetting mechanisms to guide market expectations toward forming a reasonable carbon price.赵英民称，在全国碳市场相关的制度设计中，生态环境部考虑通过改进配额分配方法、引入抵消机制等政策措施来引导市场预期，从而形成合理碳价。Now China’s carbon market started with local pilot projects. In October 2011, local pilot projects for carbon emissions trading were launched in 7 provincial-level regions, including Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai, coveringabout 3,000 companies in the industries of power, steel and cement. As of June this year, those regions traded 480 million tons of greenhouse gases, with turnover of 11.4 billion yuan.中国的碳市场建设从地方试点起步，2011年10月在北京、天津、上海等7省市启动了碳排放权交易地方试点工作，覆盖了电力、钢铁、水泥等行业近3000家重点排放单位。到今年6月，试点省市碳市场累计配额成交量4.8亿吨二氧化碳当量，成交额约114亿元。According to Shanghai’s 14th Five-year Plan, the city will attain carbon dioxide emissions peak before 2025, which is 5 years ahead of the country. 上海“十四五规划”提出，上海力争2025年实现碳排放总量达峰，比中国2030年实现碳达峰的目标早5年。2. 18 FITNESS CLUBS FOR SENIORS ARE UP AND RUNNING“银发族”新归宿上海首批长者运动健康之家揭牌A total of 18 recreation clubs for seniors have recently been opened in the city, allowing seniors to enjoy quality elderly care services in their neighborhoods.

Police arrested twosuspects【嫌疑人】in the case that inspired the 2015 film "Lost and Love" starring Andy Lau. Now Chen Xuan has the story. 2015年曾引起广泛关注的电影《失孤》中的被拐儿童原型郭新振已被找到，犯罪嫌疑人已被警方抓获，离散多年的家庭终于团聚。51-year-old Guo Gangtang has been searching for his son since he was 27. Here’s a look as they are reunited at long last. In 1997, Guo’s then two-year-old son Guo Xinzhen was abducted by a woman in Liaocheng Shandong Province. Since then the father has ridden a motorbike across the country with a flag showing his son’s photo and physical traits seeking clues to his son’s whereabouts【下落】. As his search continued he learned about other lost children and informed police officers. They said this information helped them intify more than 100 missing children who had been separated from their family for years. "Lost and Love" starring Andy Lau, who played Guo, recorded a message for the family.1997年，山东聊城郭刚堂（男，现年51岁）夫妇时年2岁半的儿子郭新振，在家门口玩耍时被一陌生女子抱走，下落不明。事情发生后，郭刚堂在摩托车上插上印有儿子照片及相貌特征的旗子，翻越中国骑行了40多万公里，四处打听儿子的下落。在这期间，他了解到许多走失孩子的信息，并积极联系公安机关，帮助100多名走失儿童回到了父母的怀抱。电影《失孤》的主演刘德华在听说这一事情后也为郭刚堂一家送上了视频祝福。INTERVIEWAndy Lau, Actor刘德华，演员，电影《失孤》主演I’d like to say to Mr. Guo that I admire your persistence【坚持】. I’d like to pay tribute to the decades-long work from the police. I’d like to call on everyone to support anti-child trafficking【贩卖】efforts, and I hope more broken families will be reunited. 首先我透过这个镜头要跟郭大哥说，我佩服你的坚持，也还要向公安机关多年的努力致敬。在此呼吁所有的朋友跟我一起支持反拐工作，盼望更多的离散家庭实现团圆。Police in Liaocheng opened a case file days after Guo Xinzhen went missing. His parents’ DNA was entered in the national child abduction tracking system. In January, the Public Security Bureau launched its "Reunion" campaign against child trafficking, sparking officers to re-examine older cases. Officers made a breakthrough【突破】in June, when they believed they had found Guo Xinzhen. A DNA test confirmed his identity. They also identified and located two suspects: 56-year-old Mr. Hu from Henan Province who is in jail in Shanxi for another case, and his then girlfriend, Ms. Tang, who is from Shandong and now 45 years old. 1997年接警后，聊城公安机关成立专案组，并将郭刚堂夫妇DNA信息录入“打拐DNA系统”，但一直没有发现郭新振的下落。今年1月，公安机关展开了查找被拐失踪儿童的专项行动——团圆行动，全力侦破拐卖儿童积案。6月，公安部将该案列为挂牌督办案件，运用最新比对查找手段，成功在河南发现疑似郭新振的线索。根据公安部工作指令，河南刑侦部门立即采集一名本地居民的血样，检验DNA信息并录入“打拐DNA系统”，成功与山东聊城郭刚堂夫妇比中，确认该河南居民即郭刚堂夫妇失踪24年的孩子郭新振。随即，山东聊城公安机关也抓获了当年拐卖郭新振的2名犯罪嫌疑人，呼某（现年56岁，因其他案件在山西入狱）和唐某（现年45岁，案件发生时为呼某女朋友）。INTERVIEWLI Min, Director of Criminal InvestigationShandong Province Dept. of Public Security李民，山东省公安厅，刑侦局局长Hu and Tang were dating in September 1997. They decided to abduct a child while they were traveling in Shandong. On September 21st, 1997, Tang went out and abducted Guo Xinzhen, who was playing near his home. She took him to Hu, who was waiting at an intercity bus station. They then took a bus to Henan and sold Guo. The case is still being investigated. 9月21日，两人窜至山东聊城，呼某在汽车站附近等候，唐某外出寻找作案目标，将在家门口独自玩耍的郭新振抱走，随后与呼某一起乘长途车返回河南，由呼某将郭新振贩卖。目前，案件正在进一步侦办中。Since the Public Security Bureau launched "Reunion", more than 2,600 missing children were identified. 147 old cases were cracked, 372 suspects were taken into custody【拘留】, and more than 1,200 families were reunited. The Public Security Bureau said more than 3,000 free blood sampling sites have been established across the country. Close to 10,000 people have given samples【样本】. The bureau added that this has thus far led to 306 families being reunited. Under the country’s criminal law, individuals who abduct and traffic a child or a woman face a prison term of 5 to 10 years and a fine. Longer prison terms apply when an individual traffics more than 3 children, heads an abduction ring, and cases involve coercion【胁迫】and violence. Individuals found guilty of buying a trafficked person can be sentenced to a maximum of three years in jail. 据介绍，公安部部署开展“团圆”行动以来，在破积案、抓嫌犯、查找失踪被拐儿童等工作取得显著成效。截至目前，已找回历年失踪被拐儿童2609名；侦破拐卖儿童积案147起，抓获拐卖犯罪嫌疑人372名，各地已组织认亲1200余场。同时，全国已建立起3000多个“团圆”行动免费采血点地址，已有近万人主动到公安机关接受免费采血，目前已帮助306个家庭实现了团圆。根据《中华人民共和国刑法》，拐卖妇女、儿童的，处5年以上10年以下有期徒刑，并处罚金。情节特别严重的，如拐卖妇女、儿童3人以上的，拐卖妇女、儿童集团的首要分子的，以出卖为目的，使用暴力、胁迫或者麻醉方法绑架妇女、儿童的，将从重处罚，另外收买被拐卖儿童将面临最高三年有期徒刑的处罚。2.        VIRTUAL IDOLS WITH REAL FANS“公主殿下”生快！虚拟歌姬洛天依生日会，粉丝现场应援Hundreds of fans waved glow sticks and yelled the name of the girl on stage – virtual【虚拟的】singer at a concert celebrating her 9th birthday at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Pudong yesterday.

The songs she sang were allcomposed【编写】by users. This made her attractive to tens of millions of fans. In the future, we will introduce more ways for fans to communicate with each other and compose better works for her.因为洛天依是个虚拟歌手，和普通艺人不一样，最大的不同在于有很多创作者为她写歌。她能唱出你为她写的歌，所以粉丝粘性很高，粉丝量是千万级的。未来我们会为音乐创作者提供聚集的平台，让他们为洛天依创作出更好的作品。Apart from entertainment, Luo has also served as a brand ambassador【大师】for Pizza Hut and cosmetics manufacturer Pechoin. Other female virtual idols include Bilibili creation Yousa and Tencent’s Xing Tong.

Stargazers can explore the galaxy and learn the key concepts that lay the foundation for modern astronomy. Reporter Sun Siqi travels at light-speed for a tour of the venue in Lingang.上海天文馆正面向社会公众进行开馆前的压力测试。天文爱好者们可以在这里尽情探索宇宙，了解现代天文学的核心概念。ICS记者孙思奇也以“光速”前往位于临港的上海天文馆，进行了提前探营。It’s out of this world! That’s right, aspiring【有抱负的】 young astronomers may just find a slice of heaven here. The first exhibit is the Foucault Pendulum, an 1851 experiment that demonstrated the rotation【转动】of Earth. Then move on to learn about gravity on different planets, and the stars closest to Earth.这简直是太棒了！没错，这里是年轻“追星人”梦寐以求的地方。刚步入天文馆大厅，映入眼帘的便是傅科摆。这是法国物理学家傅科在1851年所做的一次摆动实验。它证明了我们所在的地球沿着逆时针方向转动，且自西向东自转。接着，我们可以看到不同行星上的重力差异，以及离地球最近的恒星。(recorded)This is how much an apple normally weighs on Earth, and as you can see on Mercury, it weighs almost nothing, and on Jupiter, it is heavier than a brick.这是一个苹果在地球上的重量。如果把这个苹果放到水星上，它的自重几乎可以忽略不计；而如果把它放到木星上，它甚至比一块砖还要重。(recorded)A relatively to-scale model of the stars’ relative positions to the Sun -- our closest neighbor: Proxima Centauri, which is 4.2 light-years away from the Sun, and these are all the stars that are visible to the naked eye.这是一个展示了恒星与太阳相对位置的等比模型。可以看到，离我们最近的恒星是比邻星，它与太阳之间有4.2光年的距离。其余的这些恒星也都是肉眼可见的。The museum also covers basic astronomy concepts like blue and red shift, the habitable【适合居住的】zone for planets in any star system. This leads one to begin pondering【沉思】the massive scale of the universe with 13.8 billion years of history.天文馆内也介绍了一些蓝移与红移、恒星系统中行星的可居住带等基本概念。这不禁让人开始沉思有着138亿年历史的浩瀚宇宙。Going beyond the solar system, you have the Kuiper Belt, you have the Oort Cloud, and then you have the Milky Way Galaxy, and then you have a whole neighborhood of neighboring galaxies that is called the Local Group, which is 10 million light years in diameter【直径】. Before you leave that, you have not even left the block as far as the universe is concerned.在太阳系外侧，依次为柯伊伯带、奥尔特云、银河系以及一整个本星系群。其中，本星系群是包括地球所处之银河系在内的一群星系，它的直径为1000万光年。而这还不是宇宙的全部。If you were to scale down the history of the universe into one year, the Sun was not created until August, the Earth-Moon System was shaped around September, and life explosion happened on Earth around December.如果将宇宙那138亿年的历史压缩为1年，那么太阳是在8月诞生的，地月系大约是在9月形成的，而地球的起源——宇宙大爆炸——大约发生在12月。Construction of the museum took four years. The spiral structure, reminiscent【使回忆起】 of the Guggenheim Museum in New York, proved to be a great challenge for engineers.上海天文馆的建设历时四年，其螺旋状的结构对建筑师来说巨大的挑战。这种造型也让人不禁想起纽约的古根海姆博物馆。INTERVIEW:Li Yaming, Chief Engineer, Institute of Shanghai Architectural Design & Research Company李亚明，上海建筑设计研究院总工程师The shape of the internal space is highly irregular, we used concrete, steel, aluminum alloys and complicated mechanical support structures to turn it into reality.天文馆的内部空间十分不规则。我们利用混凝土、钢铁、铝合金和复杂的机械支撑结构实现了这种设计。On top of the spiral is a life-size model of Tianhe, the core module of China’s space station, get a few photos doing what astronauts do in the same places as in space. Also discover iron and stony meteorites and their crystal structure under the microscope, and experience the distortion of gravity ... The museum attracted a fair number of parents even during the trial opening.抬头望天，螺旋结构的顶部是天和号核心舱1:1仿真模型，你可以近距离感受宇航员的太空生活。显微镜下，你可以观察石铁陨石的晶体结构。你还可以体验重力的扭曲…即便还在压力测试期，上海天文馆还是吸引了许多家长携子女一起前来参观。INTERVIEW:Visitor游客My daughter already knows Jupiter, Mars and Neptune. I’d also like to show her videos of rockets launching.我的女儿已经认识水星、火星和海王星了。我带她来看火箭发射的视频。INTERVIEW:Visitor游客My daughter is interested in natural science. Depending on her interest, we may want to encourage her studies in science.我的女儿对自然科学非常感兴趣。因此，我们也希望能够鼓励她往自己的兴趣发展。 Eventually, stop by the "Interstellar" corridor to pass through a projection of stardust, where particles are blown over as you walk past. With that, museum designers try to convey what astronomers reveal with their science: that each of us is made of elements from this universe, and finally return into the cosmos like a flicker of dust. All trial period tickets have been booked. The museum officially opens on July 18th with tickets costing 30 yuan each.最终，我们止步于“星际穿越”。穿过这条长廊时，身影在磁场中随之起舞，可以看到，上海天文馆的设计师试图以各种形式向我们转达天文学家探索到的科学真理：我们每一个人都是由宇宙中的元素构成的，并最终像闪烁的尘埃一样回归宇宙。目前，压力测试期间的门票皆已售空。上海天文馆将与于7月18日正式向公众开放，门票30元/人。2.SHANGHAI DISNEY RESORT WILL RAISE TICKET PRICES全面涨价！上海迪士尼乐园门票调价Shanghai Disney Resort announced today that it’s increasing ticket prices beginning on January 9th, 2022.7月9日，上海迪士尼度假区发布消息称，自2022年1月9日起，上海迪士尼度假区将调整上海迪士尼乐园的门票价格。The price for "Regular" admission will increase to 435 yuan.

Sun Siqi tells us why such discoveries are important. 在世界人工智能大会腾讯论坛上，国家天文台与腾讯联合启动“探星计划”，致力于利用AI技术找到脉冲星线索，辅助快速射电暴和近密双星系统中脉冲星搜索。 The program dubbed【把…称为】 "Stellar Exploration Plan" will use Tencent’s YouTu Lab and the computational power of Tencent Cloud. The combination of cloud and AI technologies can help process the massive troves of data received by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope, or FAST, which is also the world’s largest single-dish and most sensitive radio telescope. Visual AI analysis would then provide clues to locating pulsars.“探星计划”将基于优图实验室计算机视觉技术、腾讯云领先的计算及存储能力，帮助中国天眼FAST（500米口径球面射电望远镜）处理每天接收到的庞大数据。FAST是世界上最大的单口径射电望远镜,也是目前世界上灵敏度最高的望远镜。INTERVIEW:Li Di, Researcher of the Radio Division of NAOC, Chief Scientist of FAST李菂，中国科学院国家天文台研究员、FAST首席科学家We need cutting edge computers and algorithms to comb through our data and process everything. 我们产生大量的数据，所以需要用比较前沿的、先进的，也就是高效率的计算方法、人工智能的方法和深度学习的方法。INTERVIEW:Huang Feiyue, Deputy General Manager of YouTu Lab黄飞跃，腾讯优图实验室副总经理Our AI model does a preliminary screening of the images and greatly increases the efficiency and accuracy of finding a new pulsar.用我们的AI模型能够进行一个初筛，把这个搜寻的效率大大的提高，另外一方面我们大幅的提升了寻找脉冲星的一个准确率。The FAST telescope captures about 30 million photos a week. It would take an astronomer a year to scan these photos, but with AI, it will take as little as three days. The observatory【天文台】 said it has found five new pulsars in space during the first month of its collaboration with Tencent. Discovering these neutron stars is essential to astrophysics【天体物理学】 research, and helping scientists detect gravitational waves.FAST在1周内产生的数据大约相当于3000万张信号图，如果以人工肉眼处理，按照1张/秒速度，需要用一年的时间才能处理。如果通过AI预筛选，只需要3天时间就可以完成。中国科学院国家天文台表示，在与腾讯合作的第一个月里，天文台在太空中发现了五颗新的脉冲星。这对天体物理学研究至关重要，并有助于科学家探测引力波。#热词加油站aspiring【有抱负的】rotation【转动】habitable【适合居住的】pondering【沉思】diameter【直径】reminiscent【使回忆起】annual【一年的】dubbed【把…称为】observatory【天文台】astrophysics【天体物理学】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

TIBETANS PRESENT MUSIC FROM THE CLOUDSA group of Tibetan musicians from Qinghai Province held a concert at ShangYinOpera House using instruments mostly unknown outside the remote plateau. Reporter Sun Siqi went backstage to learn about the instruments dating back more than 2,000 years, and what can be done to promote the music from the clouds.7月3日晚，果洛州民族歌舞团与上海音乐学院交响乐团、音教系女声合唱团同台，在上音歌剧院共同完成“手牵手·心连心——《从黄河到长江》主题音乐会”。乐团表演时，除了钢琴外，组合里还有很多大家没见过甚至没听过的乐器。记者孙思琦在后台了解到，其中不少乐器动辄两千多年历史，被列为非遗乐器。Hear the ethereal music from Tibetan vocalists and musicians ...The eagle bone flute and ox horn fiddle have been heard among herders for thousands of years in the grasslands more than 4,000 meters above sea level at Golog Prefecture in Qinghai Province, about 2,600 kilometers from Shanghai.聆听着来自藏族歌手及乐手的天籁之音……从东海之滨到雪域高原，上海与青海横跨2600公里。远在海拔4000多米的草原上，鹰骨笛和牛角琴的琴声已经流传千年了。INTERVIEW:The instrument is more than 2,700 years old, that is even earlier than Gesar’s time. We play it at holidays. You play it in the fall, when animals are breeding, and the cows, horses and sheep come and listen.这种乐器已有2700多年的历史，比格萨尔更为悠久。我们不只在节日庆典拉琴，每逢秋天，我一人放牧时，我也会对着牛羊马拉琴。There’re very few who can play it now. Master Shide is one of them. It is an intangible【无形的】cultural heritage. The fiddle is made with local horsetail, lamb skin and ox horn.遗憾的是，如今会拉玛曲牛角琴的人，只剩两三个，异常稀少。牛角做鼓身，羊皮做鼓面，马尾做琴弦，果洛州当地最常见的三种牲畜的元素，都在这件非遗乐器里得到体现。The dragon head fiddle is a more commonplace【常见的】instrument among locals in Golog.在果洛当地，牛角琴是一种十分常见的乐器。INTERVIEW:Almost everybody knows how to play it where I’m from. We gather at holidays. We sing and play.在我的家乡，几乎每一个人都知道如何演奏这种乐器。每逢佳节，我们会聚集在一起弹琴唱歌。The band members all hail from Golog. Tang Shengsheng of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music went to the prefecture last year as part of the conservatory’s support program and helped them compose songs combining their instruments with piano.乐团成员皆来自果洛。上海音乐学院教师汤声声是上海音乐学院文化支援果洛藏族自治州项目的成员之一。去年，她亲临果洛，将民族乐器与钢琴相结合，帮助乐团谱曲。INTERVIEW:We found a massive number of local instruments and styles with great potential. Nature inspires Tibetan musicians, and their music has great tempo and rhythm. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with them.

And modern musicians should work to discover it, create and re-create music with it.中国的民族音乐本质上是世界音乐的一部分，并且可以“走出去”。现代音乐家应该努力去发掘它，从而进行音乐的创造与再创造。The Tibetan musicians say they feel emboldened by the trip and hope to go international one day. The band will tour to Xining in Qinghai this month and to Beijing in September.西藏乐手表示，通过此次音乐之旅，他们备受鼓舞。他们希望能够走出高原，走向世界。该乐团计划本月在青海西宁进行公演，9月在北京进行公演。3.

The U.S. needs to correct its mistakes, stop the baseless suppression of international students, and create a good environment for communication and cooperation between the two nations.美方有关签证限制措施延续了特朗普政府时期的遗毒。这也与美方自我标榜的开放自由等理念完全背道而驰，与开展国际人才交流的时代潮流背道而驰，与中美两国人民开展友好交流的共同愿望背道而驰，是开历史倒车。中方敦促美方纠正错误，重新审议有关中国留学生赴美留学签证申请，停止利用各种借口对中国留学生无端限制和打压，保护他们的正当合法权益，为中美人文交流与教育合作营造良好氛围。#热词加油站materialize【实现】resign【屈从】algorithm【算法】intangible【无形的】commonplace【常见的】delve into【探索】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

#赞赞中国节小暑 Minor Heat 大家好，今天是小暑。Minor heat is the 11th solar term of the year, and it signifies the hottest period is coming but the extreme heat has yet to arrive. There is this saying 小暑不算热，大暑三伏天. It’s time to prepare our body for the coming heat. According to TCM diet therapy, bitter foods help clear heat from the body, absorb dampness, and stimulate appetite. 小暑吃苦胜似进补Gourds, apricot seeds, gingko, and tea leaves are bitter. But if you prefer something sweet, lotus-nut sweet soup 莲子羹 or sweet mung bean soup 绿豆汤 will also relieve the summer heat. Many families plan a holiday during the summer. One of the country’s most-renowned resorts is Chengde Imperial Mountain Resort in Hebei Province. It’s eight times larger than the Palace Museum, also known as the Forbidden City. Once an imperial retreat for emperors like Kangxi and Qianlong during the Qing Dynasty, the resort features expansive gardens and is open to the public. Back in the city, trees provide natural sun umbrellas. Shanghai has over 260 signature tree-lined streets. Flanked with French parasol trees, Huaihai Road is highly recommended, but my favorite is Wukang Road for a weekend stroll and a relaxing stop at a cafe. 薰风愠解引新凉，小暑神清夏日长。小暑到，愿您心静自然凉。

But the momentum has been returning, and investors there so far have been warming up to the Chinese tech companies once again. Ying Junyi has more.在过去的一段时间里，中国科技公司赴美上市的趋势有所放缓，但是近期这种势头再次回升。可以看到，不少投资者重拾对这些科技公司的热情。请听应俊一带来的报道。Chinese technology companies are flocking【蜂拥】to the US for IPOs once again. More than 30 Chinese tech companies raised more than 10 billion dollars on Wall Street in the first half of the year, and another 30 or more are expected in the next six months.中国科技公司再次掀起赴美上市热。截止到2021年上半年，共计有超过30家中国科技公司在美上市，其市值共计达100亿美元。预计今年下半年另有30多家中国科技公司还将赴美上市。INTERVIEW:Theodore Shou, Chief Investment Officer, Skybound Capital寿祺，首席投资官，时机资本Many of these companies received early funding in the early stages from US dollars investors or from the US dollars private equity funds. These private equity funds are seeking an exit, and that exit would be better expressed if these companies go public in the US.其中许多企业曾接受来自投资者或私募基金的美元早期投资。这些私募基金正在寻找出场机会，如果这些公司公开上市，那么这些机会将会更好兑现。The boom of Chinese tech IPOs in the US is driven by a desire to tap【利用】 the deep pools of liquidity available there. Shou says many Chinese tech firms have managed to secure relatively elevated valuations in the US market. The IPO regulations there are also resulting in the current cluster of floatations on the US exchanges.中国科技公司希望能够利用美国市场的强流动性，而这也激发了中国科技企业赴美上市的热潮。寿祺表示，许多赴美上市的中国科技公司都获得了相对较高的估值。此外，中国有关部门的上市监管也是激发该热潮的另一个因素。INTERVIEW:Theodore Shou, Chief Investment Officer, Skybound Capital寿祺，首席投资官，时机资本Obviously, many of them are relying on their 2020 annual reports to be included in theirprospectus. And they have a grace period of roughly nine months meaning they need to submit the IPO within nine months otherwise they would have to prepare the semi-annual report in order to supplement the prospectus.显然，在这些公司中，有不少公司都将其2020年年报纳入了招股说明书。它们有约9个月的宽限期，这意味着他们需要在9个月内提交IPO，否则它们就必须额外准备半年度报告以补充招股说明书。As for the onshore market, the registration-based IPO reform has also pushed up the number of IPOs by 70 percent and the amount of money they raised increased by nearly 60 percent. And the revised Securities Law better protects investors’ rights.就在岸市场而言，股票发行注册制改革使IPO数量增加了70%，其市值也增长了近60%。同时，修订后的《证券法》更好地保护了投资者的权益。INTERVIEW:Ryan Tang, Senior Partner, AllBright Law Offices汤奕隽，高级合伙人，锦天城律师事务所上海总部Regulators are paying more attention to IPO applications and requiring stricter information disclosure. They are also spot-checking【抽查】 some of the IPO candidates. The revised Securities Law has an increased emphasis on protecting the interests of small and individual investors.监管部门开始对整个申报流程开始越来越严格，对文件的要求和信息披露会审查的更仔细，还有些会到现场抽查访谈。这些都是新的证券法修改后的体现。新的证券法更趋向于保护型投资者和个体投资者的权益。The number and scrutiny of listing hearings in China have increased, and the new law levies tougher penalties for any market violations.中国上市审核听证会的数量和审查力度都有所增加。根据修订后的《证券法》，任何市场违规行为都将面临更为严厉的处罚。#热词加油站recruiting【招收】dome【穹顶】mimic【模仿】planetarium 【天文馆】constellation【星座】celestial bodies’【天体】comprehend【理解】distort【扭曲】trickle【细流】flock【蜂拥】tap【利用】spot-check【抽查】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

NEWSON 07/051.COMPOSER DEDICATES HIS MUSIC TO EVERYONE七一勋章获得者吕其明：将音乐献给每一个人2.CHINA HAS PROVIDED 480 MLN VACCINES TO 100 COUNTRIESTOP1！中国已向国际社会供应4.8亿余剂新冠疫苗3. IAEA INVITES CHINA TO JOIN FUKUSHIMA TECHNICAL TEAM不得擅自排污！中国专家获邀参加福岛污水处置工作组-----------------记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1.    COMPOSER DEDICATES HIS MUSIC TO EVERYONE七一勋章获得者吕其明：将音乐献给每一个人Local composer Lv Qiming was awarded the July 1 Medal, the highest honor within the CPC. The 91-year-old has composed many classic symphonic pieces including "Ode【颂歌】to the Red Flag". He says his music is for everyone and that life is what has inspired him over the decades. Zhang Yue tells us more about Lv’s life. 上海作曲家吕其明为中国共产党党内最高荣誉"七一勋章"的获得者。这位91岁的作曲家创作了《红旗颂》等诸多经典交响乐曲。他表示，他的音乐作品是献给每个人的，而他所经历的一切也成为了他过去几十年的灵感来源。更多有关吕其明的生平介绍，请听张乐分享。Born in 1930, Lv joined the New Fourth Army at the age of 10 with his father. When he was 15, he became a CPC member. In 1949, Lv joined the Shanghai Film Studio to work on film soundtracks.1930年出生的吕其明，10岁那年跟随父亲参加新四军，15岁加入中国共产党。1949年，有着艺术特长的他，随解放军进上海，转业至上海电影制片厂，干起了为电影作曲的工作。INTERVIEW:Lv Qiming, Composer, July 1 Medal Recipient吕其明，作曲家、“七一勋章”获得者I used to play violin, er’hu and the bamboo flute. It was so hard to write music for such a big symphony orchestra after joining the film studio. I couldn’t sleep at that time as I was always thinking about how to compose【作曲】.作为一个文工团员，我过去拉过小提琴，拉过二胡，吹过笛子。这些叫什么？叫"小米加步枪" 。但是进了电影厂，面对的是一个大的交响乐队。你怎么写？确实是难呐！非常难呐！真是日夜不能睡啊！Before turning 30, Lv had already created popular film songs like "Playing My Beloved Pipa" and "Who doesn’t Say My Hometome is Good". But he still spent seven years studying at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music while working on the side. In 1965, he was commissioned to create a symphony for the 6th Shanghai Spring Music Festival less than 3 months before it opened. Within 7 days he submitted his first version of "Ode to the Red Flag".在30岁不到之时，吕其明已经写出了《弹起我心爱的土琵琶》《谁不说俺家乡好》等脍炙人口的电影插曲，但是工作之余他仍在上海音乐学院攻读了七年。1965年2月，第六届“上海之春”组委会指定“少壮派”吕其明赶写一个主旋律交响乐，主题就是红旗颂。此时，距离5月开幕只剩不到三个月。吕其明日夜奋战，用七天时间完成了第一版《红旗颂》，在第六届“上海之春”上首演。INTERVIEW:Lv Qiming, Composer, July 1 Medal Recipient吕其明，作曲家、“七一勋章”获得者I used elements from the national anthem to create the lead for the symphony. As for the rest, I drew on my personal experiences and emotions, such as how I felt when I passed Tian’anmen Square in Beijing with the crowds, and the feeling of how China was becoming stronger and stronger.

Ep 5: Who are eligible to join the CPC?Q: I’m a foreigner. Am I eligible to join the CPC?If someone is a child of a Chinese-and-foreign mixed family,if someone has got the permanent residency in China, is he/she eligible to join the CPC?Throughout the history of the CPC, there have been party members from other countries, including Vietnam, Japan, India, Austria, Poland, the UK, the US, and the Soviet Union. For example, Lebanese-American Shafick George Hatem arrived in Yan'an with the Red Army in 1937 and joined the CPC that year.A revision to the constitution that was adopted by the 8th National Congress of the CPC in 1956, clearly put forward that a party member must be at least 18 years of age, and a citizen of the People’s Republic of China. Israel Epstein from Poland worked as a foreign correspondent in China during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. In 1957, Epstein was granted Chinese citizenship and he joined the CPC in 1964.Q：As a foreigner who has been living in China for a long time, can I give advice to the party? Can my voice be heard? As the CPC is the ruling party of China, people can put forward their suggestions to party organizations and government organizations through local and state levels. A number of cities have information hotlines available. In some Shanghai’s expat communities, a community-to-government channel has been established to pass on advice and suggestions from foreign residents.

"The Song of New China" is a 9-minute documentary about China's national anthem, "March of the Volunteers". Kristina Grigoryan from Turkmenistan, a master’s student at Shanghai Vancouver Film School, spent three weeks on it. She said she learned much more about China, especially Shanghai, through her research and production. We have Kristina with us, to share the back scene stories.For the full video:https://youtu.be/1qA8LWejJis

Ep 4: What's the basic unit of the CPC?Q: What is “Dangzhibu” or Party branches?Party branches are a part of the CPC’s primary organization. They are usually formed in enterprises, rural areas, government organs, schools, research institutes, communities, social organizations, companies of the People’s Liberation Army, and other basic units.Q: What’s the minimum number of members required to form a Party branch?According to the Constitution of the CPC, at least three CPC members are needed to form a Party branch. And if there are more than seven members in a branch, they can form a primary Party committee.Q：What is a Party branch’s primary function?The primary function of a Party branch includes organizing its members to study essential knowledge concerning the Party, as well as general, scientific, legal and professional knowledge. It also regulates, supervises and serves the party members to complete the work in the unit. A branch has the responsibility to check and approve the applications of those looking to join the CPC. It also coordinates all stake holders in the unit and protects the legal rights and benefits of the general public.Q：Is a Party branch a must for foreign companies in China?It is not necessary for foreign-invested enterprises to have Party branches. The first foreign organization to set up a Party branch in Shanghai was the US-based chemical and pharmaceuticals giant DuPont, in 1990.

Ep 3: Is the CPC the only political party in China?Q: Is the CPC the only political party in China?No. There are eight other political parties. Most of them came into being and were developed during the 1940s, and the earliest one was the Zhi Gong Party in 1925. The CPC connects itself with the eight parties through the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, or CPPCC. It is an important platform in which non-CPC members work together in state affairs.Q：In China, do you have to be a CPC member in order to have a better opportunity for self-development?Not necessary. Many outside the party have been fulfilling themselves and making contributions. Some examples include the late agronomist Yuan Longping, known for developing the first hybrid rice varieties in the 1970s…and world renowned former basketball player Yao Ming, who chairs the Chinese Basketball Association.Q: Can a non-CPC member be promoted to a high position in government sectors?Among the legislative bodies and government bodies through all levels in China, there have been quite a number of leaders who are not CPC members.Wan Gang, a member of the Zhigong Party, was the former minister of science and technology from 2007 to 2018. In 2007, Chen Zhu was named head of the Ministry of Health, when he had no party affiliations. Huang Runqiu, member of the Jiusan Society, was appointed Minister of Ecology and Environment in 2020.The Civil Service Law of China lists seven basic conditions for being a civil servant and none of them include CPC membership.For more videos about the CPC: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRwC8UAicR9mfX14nThgITkfo8HGjHsgv

Ep 2: What’s the corner stone of the CPC?Q: At its inception, what are the beliefs that have motivated people to join CPC?Since Marxism was first publicly formulated in the 1840s, it has spread to many parts of the world. The classical publication “The Communist Manifesto” by German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels was introduced to Japan in the late 19th and early 20th century, and subsequently brought from Japan to China.At the time of the Communist Party of China’s First Congress, the official member count was just over 50. They were motivated by their shared values and their wish to save the country.  “The Communist Manifesto” had a significant impact on proletarian revolutions around the world, including the new democratic revolution and socialist construction in China. “The Manifesto” was one of the cornerstones of the Party’s foundation.Q：How was it then introduced to China?In 1920, 29-year-old translator and scholar Chen Wangdao, who had studied in Japan, translated the “The Communist Manifesto” from a Japanese language edition into Chinese. Chen completed the translation in a woodshed in Zhejiang Province, and it was published that same year, one year before the CPC was founded in 1921.Q：How was the first Chinese version of “The Communist Manifesto” printed?Shanghai was then the most advanced city in China regarding printing and publishing. The first 1,000 copies of Chen’s translation were printed by a publishing house in downtown Shanghai in August, 1920. It quickly sold out and they hurriedly printed another 1,000 copies, Chen Wangdao’s Chinese language version of the Manifesto was later reprinted across China.The Manifesto has been translated into over 200 languages, with more than 1,000 editions. It is believed to be one of the most circulated pieces of literature on social politics, humanities and social sciences in the world.

The application must be accepted at a general membership meeting held by the Party branch the applicant is seeking to join. The Party branch will discuss whether the applicant is qualified. Once approved by the Party branch, the application will then go to the next higher Party organization. If approved, full membership will be granted after a one-year probationary period.

Compared with traditional rice, blood sugar levels in test subjects remained stable⑥ after eating two bowls of the new rice.经过20多年的研究,上海农业科学院特种稻研究团队培育出了“优糖稻”大米。研究团队成功定位了控制抗性淀粉合成的基因，所培育出的“优糖稻”相比普通大米，升糖指数更低。在华东医院进行的一项临床试验中，“优糖稻”显示出了控制糖尿病患者餐后血糖的功效。受试者在吃了两碗“优糖稻”米饭后血糖水平仍保持平稳。朴钟泽上海市农科院作物育种栽培研究所研究员The new functional rice variety is the first of its kind around the globe in terms of its gene patent. It’s very hard to find the plant with such characteristics⑦ among hundreds of thousands of plants. We spent a very long time on the research.这是世界上第一个获得基因专利的功能性新品种水稻。在几十万株植株中很难找到具有这些特性的植株。我们花了很长时间做这项研究。The newly designed rice is sewn and harvested⑧ in a similar manner to that of regular rice. A 600,000-square-meter production base for Youtangdao was established in ZhuqiaoTown in Pudong. The base is expected to be expanded 100 times its current size size within 5 years.除了掌握好育秧关、保持好种性纯度，新品种水稻的其他栽培措施和一般水稻一样。目前，在浦东祝桥镇建立了60万平方米的优糖稻生产基地。预计在5年内，基地规模将扩大100倍。①type n. 品种②diabetes n. 糖尿病③splice v. 拼接④resistant a. 抵抗的⑤starch n. 淀粉⑥stable a. 稳定的⑦characteristic n. 特性⑧harvest v. 收割3. Pistoletto’s “Poor Art” pieces on display“贫穷艺术”大师皮斯特莱托上海个展 在《第三天堂》中找寻“生命的公式”The 88-year-old Pistoletto became a critical① figure in Italy’s Arte Povera Movement, which translates as "Poor Art". Artists used items like rags, cardboard and twigs to challenge the world of commercialism, which adherents③ of the movement believed had even invaded the art world.88岁的皮斯特莱托是意大利“贫穷艺术”运动中的代表人物。“贫穷艺术”运动的支持者们认为，商业主义已经侵入了艺术界。于是，艺术家们选择用破布、纸板和树枝等物品来挑战商业主义的世界。Sun Siqi, Reporter记者 孙思奇In these pieces, Pistoletto used one of his favorite materials, and that is a mirror. And this came from the artist’s perception④ that a mirror reflects everything except itself.在这些作品中，皮斯特莱托使用了他最喜欢的装置之一——镜子。这些作品都来自于艺术家的一种感知——镜子反映的是除了自己以外的一切。Gao Shan, Project ManagerShanghai Minsheng Art MuseumThe moment you walk into the mirror installations, you see yourself and how you change. When Pistoletto grew as an artist, he tried to minimize his subjective intervention⑤ during the creative process. That is to say, he hopes you experience the same thing he did when standing in front of one of his pieces.当你走进这些镜子的那一刻，你看到了你自己以及你是如何改变的。当皮斯特莱托作为一名艺术家时，他试图在创作过程中尽量减少主观干预。当你观看他的作品时，他希望你能有同样的体验。Such is true when you see your own reflection with this cardboard and mirror piece "Grande Pozzo", or "Great Well". His "Third Paradise" is a modified infinity⑥ sign with which the artist tries to represent harmony between the natural world with one that is industrial and artificial.Through that he ruminates⑦ on whether humanity is born or buried as we multiply, like in his mirrors.在“Grande Pozzo”和“Great Well”瓦楞纸和镜子碎片中，你能真实的看到自己的倒影。作品“第三天堂”是一个全新的无限符号，皮斯特莱托试图用它来表现自然主宰的世界、现代社会创造的人工世界以及这两者终将达成平衡共生的理想世界。在创作中，他反复思考人类的繁衍带来的是诞生还是灭亡，就像镜子里的世界一样。Pistoletto has shown the same symbol in different materials at the Louvre in Paris, museums in Europe and Asia and public spaces like Machu Picchu.皮斯特莱托曾在巴黎卢浮宫、欧洲和亚洲的博物馆以及马丘比丘等地用不同的材料展示过同样的符号。Gao Shan, Project ManagerShanghai Minsheng Art Museum"Third Paradise" introduced the natural world and artificial world as two diodes⑧. However, you see an extension of that notion in the Trinamic Code installation. The artist means to say that any elements that are juxtaposed can be triggered⑨ at a given time and space to generate a third state.《第三天堂》将自然世界和人工世界比作为两个二极管。然而，您可以在Trinamic Code安装中看到该想法一个延申。艺术家想表达的是，任何并列的元素都可以在既定的时间和空间被触发，从而产生第三种状态。Visitor游客My favorite piece is the "Cubic Meter of Infinity". Glass multiplies the dimensions⑩ that it can present. I feel dark energy through most of the pieces in this hall, with a contrast between the black vinyl and mirror surface.我最喜欢的作品是“Cubic Meter of Infinity”。玻璃可以放大呈现出的尺寸。这里的大部分作品都让我感受到一种黑暗的能量，黑色的乙烯基和镜面形成反差。The exhibition runs until the end of September with tickets costing 60 yuan at Minsheng Art Museum.该展览于上海民生美术馆展览至9月底，门票60元。①critical a. 批判性的②twig n. 细枝、嫩枝③adherent n. 支持者、拥护者④perception n. 感知⑤intervention n. 介入、干预⑥infinity n. 无穷大⑦ruminate v. 沉思⑧diode n. 二极管⑨trigger v. 触发⑩dimension n. 尺寸

That equates④ to an area of 3 square kilometers with a population of 50,000 to 100,000 people. Shanghai is the first city in the country to release⑤ such a target. “上海2035”总体规划在全国率先提出打造“15分钟社区生活圈”，就是以家为中心，步行15分钟的可达范围内，要建成较为完善的养老、医疗、教育、商业、交通、文体等基本公共服务设施，形成安全、友好、舒适的社会基本生活平台。按照规划导则，生活圈一般范围在3平方公里左右，常住人口约5-10万人。Now more than 180 amenity improvement projects have been completed at communities including Xinhua Road neighborhood in Changning and Caoyang Xincun neighborhood in Putuo in the past two years. 目前，上海全市已完成180余个项目落地，长宁区新华路街道、普陀区曹杨新村等一批社区整体成效显著。Wang WeirenDeputy⑥ Secretary General of Shanghai Government王为人 上海政府副秘书长Starting in 2019, 15 communities were selected in a trial to improve their amenities.

The vloggers③ were fascinated by the panoramic④ view of the Huangpu River. Lee John Barrett, a vlogger who now lives in Shenzhen with 278,000 subscribers⑤ on Youtube, said he loved the contrast⑥ between old and new in Shanghai.上午，外籍博主们首先登上了位于北外滩的浦西最高楼——白玉兰广场的顶楼停机坪，浦江两岸的盛景尽收眼底。常驻深圳的视频博主Lee John Barrett在Youtube上有27.8万粉丝，他表示很喜欢上海新旧交织的独特气质。Lee John Barrett, Vlogger from the UKLee John Barrett 英国博主Shanghai has a very very iconic skyline⑦, you know, the view from the Bund, across the modern sort of areas of the city is great. And then the view from the other side of the Bund on the old... But here it’s just terrific. Absolutely incredible.上海有一个非常非常标志性的天际线，从外滩望出去，一眼便能感受到这座城市的现代化，感觉非常棒。再看外滩这边的老建筑群…这里视角非常棒，太难以置信了。In the afternoon, the group visited the Memorial of the First National Congress of the CPC. Luke Johnston, who is now studying at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and posts videos on Youtube and Bilibili, was very enthusiastic to learn more about Chinese history. He was impressed that many of the delegates⑧ were young when they attended the congress in 1921.下午，一行人参观了中国共产党第一次全国代表大会纪念馆。Luke Johnston目前在上海交通大学学习，平时会在Youtube和哔哩哔哩上发布视频，他非常想了解更多中国的历史。打卡一大会址，让他印象最深刻的是，在1921年中国共产党的第一次全国代表大会上，有很多青年代表参会。Luke Johnston, Vlogger from the UKLuke Johnston 英国博主I initially thought it would be very senior figures maybe from Beijing, but really you had representatives from all over China. But also you had people from different ages. You had someone, I saw, was born in 1902. So he would be 19 at the time. They all came together to have their own idea of communism⑨ to help China move forward, which I thought was great.我最初以为参会人员会是来自北京的重要人物，但实际上有很多来自全国各地的、不同年龄的代表。我看到其中一个人是1902年出生，参会时只有19岁。他们用自己坚定的共产主义信念推动中国前进，非常让人钦佩。Another destination was Pathe Villa in Xuhui District. Built in 1921, the three-story brick-and-wood building once housed the studio of Pathe Records, where China’s national anthem⑩ was recorded. Alessandro Martini liked the architecture. He has 128,000 followers on Bilibili.另一个打卡点是位于徐汇区的百代小红楼。这座三层砖木建筑建于1921年，曾经是百代唱片公司的录音室，也是最早录制中国国歌的地方。Alessandro Martini很喜欢这幢建筑，他是拥有12.8万名粉丝的哔哩哔哩UP主。Alessandro Martini, Vlogger from ItalyAlessandro Martini 意大利博主Young people, especially young expats like me, may prefer going to western-style places or the places where we can enjoy food from our home country. So I haven’t visited many historical or cultural sites. I know the trip includes a lot of such places so I’m quite interested in it.在我看来，很多年轻人，尤其是像我这样在国外生活的年轻人，可能更喜欢去西式的地方，或者是能吃到自己国家食物的地方。所以我起式没有去过很多历史和文化景点。我知道这次“打卡中国”之旅会包括很多这样的地方，所以我很感兴趣。In the next few days, vloggers from the UK, Italy, Croatia, Mexico, Spain, Venezuela as well as other countries and regions will visit Suzhou, Huangshan and Hangzhou to explore their various achievements and how the Yangtze Delta is being integrated.在接下来的几天里，来自英国、意大利、克罗地亚、墨西哥、西班牙、委内瑞拉等国家和地区的博主们将继续打卡苏州、黄山、杭州等地，去感受这些地方的多样化发展，以及长三角地区是怎样成为一个整体的。①expat n. 旅居海外的人②Yangtze River Delta 长江三角洲③vlogger n. 博主④panoramic a. 全景的⑤subscriber n. 订阅者⑥contrast n. 差异、对比⑦skyline n. 以天空为背景映出的轮廓⑧delegate n. 代表⑨communism n. 共产主义⑩national anthem 国歌

But there are vast differences in the pace of progress in different parts of the world. Zhang Hong tells us more.全球接种新冠疫苗人数已超25亿，但不同地区的疫苗接种进度存在显著差异。Data shows that China and the US have administered the highest number of doses. Most of the other countries among the top 10 are mostly high-income countries in the Middle East, Europe and North America. In Africa, less than 10 doses per 100 people is the norm. South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa said Africa only had about 40 million doses of vaccines, which is not even enough for 2% of total population of the continent. The U.S. laid out a plan to share 55 million COVID-19 vaccines globally earlier but there have been delays in sharing the vaccines.数据显示，中国和美国的疫苗接种数量最多。每100人所拥有的疫苗数量排名前十位的国家，多数为中东、欧洲和北美地区的高收入国家。在非洲，每100人中，仅有不到10人能够分配到疫苗。南非总统西里尔·拉马福萨（Cyril Ramaphosa）表示，非洲目前分到的疫苗大约只有4000万剂，覆盖面不足非洲人口的2%。此前，美国曾计划向全球分发5500万支新冠疫苗，但在交付过程中出现了延误。Psaki, White House Spokesperson珍·普萨基 美国白宫新闻发言人“This is a Herculean logistical challenge and we’ve seen that as we’ve begun to implement. Teams need to ensure that there are proper temperature storage, prevent breakage and ensure the vaccine immediately clears customs.”我们在物流运输上面临巨大挑战。（延迟交付）是因为物流团队要确保疫苗有合适的储存温度，要防止它们破损还要保证它们能及时清关。Many poorer countries are relying on deliveries from COVAX, a WHO scheme that is trying to ensure everyone in the world has access to vaccines. The plan is to deliver 2 billion doses by the end of the year.许多欠发达国家将获取疫苗的希望寄托于“新冠疫苗实施计划”(COVAX)。该计划由世界卫生组织主导，旨在保证世界上所有人都能接种新冠疫苗。该计划的目标是在2021年年底前提供20亿剂疫苗。订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Like！中国节 夏至大家好！今天是夏至！In the 7th century B.C., Chinese measured the shadow of the Sun with a template called 土圭. They used it to determine the day with the shortest shadow, which became the summer solstice, the day with the longest period of sunlight in the northern hemisphere. An old Chinese saying goes: 冬至饺子夏至面. It’s a tradition to eat noodles on this day, as around the time of 夏至 is when wheat ripens. China is famous for its variety of noodles like Sichuan’s dandanmian, Wuhan’s hot-dry noodles, Beijing’s noodle with fried soybean paste, Shanxi’s knife-cut noodles and Lanzhou’s hand-pulled noodles.You can eat waxberries and lychees during 夏至 as they are now in season. And it’s said that lychees were Yang Guifei’s favorite fruit. In order to please her, the emperor had fresh lychees, which were grown thousands of kilometers from the capital, delivered by the imperial courier's fast horses. The riders would take shifts day and night in a Pony Express-like manner, to reach the palace as quickly as possible. Both waxberries and lychees expire quickly, so don’t miss out on these fruits while they are still available.夏至已至，愿一切美好如夏而至。夏至快乐！

The docking ring has three locks that will stretch out.There are three matching devices on the passive docking structure. They willwork like door locks. When the two spacecraft meet, the locks will be activatedon the docking ring. Then the two parts are locked together.装在载人飞船上的叫主动对接机构，对接环主动伸出去，然后在主动对接机构上配套的有三把捕获锁，在被动对接机构上配套有三个卡板器。这个就像咱们的门栓和门锁一样，两个飞行器对接环接触上之后，捕获锁就把两套对接机构锁住了。The three astronautsentered the Tianhe core module at 6:48 pm and will stay in space for aboutthree months. They will begin assembling the space station, go on spacewalksand perform maintenance tasks on the space station.组合体飞行期间，3名航天员将进驻天和核心舱，完成为期3个月的在轨驻留，开展机械臂操作、太空出舱等活动，验证航天员长期在轨驻留、再生生保等一系列关键技术。2.SHANGHAI SCIENTISTS CONTRIBUTE TOSHENZHOU-12 MISSIONScientists from theShanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology have worked for more than threemonths, contributing to the launch of Shenzhou-12. They helped develop thedocking system, as well as power and communications subsystems. Song Wenjinghas more.上海航天技术研究院的科研工作者们奋战三个多月，为飞船的成功发射保驾护航。本次飞行任务中，从对接机构、飞船电源分系统，到测控通信子系统等，上海航天科研团队都进行了一系列的设计优化。Since the Shenzhouseries of missions began, spacecraft have docked to Tianhe a total of 10 times,including 5 times with astronauts aboard. The Shenzhou-12 spacecraft weighs 8tons and is docking with the 30-ton Tianhe. Shanghai scientists installed controllabledampers to ensure the two connect without damaging one another.神舟载人飞船自执行任务以来，已顺利开展10次对接动作，其中包括5次载人对接。而此次神舟十二号载人飞行任务中，八吨的神舟载人飞船要与三十多吨的天和核心舱组合体进行对接。上海航天对接机构研制团队提出首次在载人飞船对接机构上安装可控阻尼器，确保对接不对舱体造成损伤。INTERVIEWEE:Yang Huaxing,Designer of Manned Spacecraft System杨华星中国航天科技集团八院载人航天工程载人飞船分总体主任设计师With the controllabledamper, the Shenzhou-12 will dock smoothly with Tianhe, it won’t be likecrashing into a wall.有了可控阻尼之后，我们对接机构在小吨位对大吨位的时候，它就不会出现比如说撞上去很硬的一种感觉，而是一个会有缓冲的过程。According to themission, the three astronauts will stay in space for three months. Scientistssay the space station will have an adequate supply of power.按照任务计划，此次航天员将在太空之家驻留三个月。科研人员表示，空间站能够提供可靠的能源供给。INTERVIEWEE:Zhong Danhua,Designer Designer of Manned Spacecraft System钟丹华中国航天科技集团八院载人航天工程神舟飞船电源分系统主任设计师The space station will generate 950 to 1,400 wattsof electricity.目前是两种对接方式。镜像对接可以提供1400瓦的对接工况的发电能力，轴向工况可以提供950瓦的发电能力，电源分系统通过接收外面的供电，可以保证在全遮挡工况下能够持续地、正常地、安全地工作。For space-to-earthcommunications, the Shenzhou-12 has a new voice link channel. Previously,communications between spacecraft and the station had to be relayed【转发；转播】 through the control center on earth. Now astronauts will be tocommunicate with one another directly while in different parts of thespacecraft or on the space station.天地通讯方面，神舟十二号飞船增加了全新的空空话音链路通道，可以实现载人飞船与空间站之间的高质量双向通话。之前，通话需要通过地面的控制中心进行中转，而现在宇航员无需在各个舱之间穿梭，能够直接进行信息传递。3.SH POLICECONTINUE THE CRACK DOWN ON CYBER FRAUDNever downloaduncertified payment APPs! The Shanghai police are reminding residents to abide by【坚持；遵守】 this principle under any circumstances, as they have cracked down twogroups of suspects who defrauded【诈骗】people by conning them into downloading and usingpayment APPs. Lei Shuran has more.“不要下载来路不明的APP！”警方提示，在任何情况下，都必须谨记这条原则，小心诈骗。近日，上海警方连续破获了两个利用“暗雷”手段（诱骗被害人下载使用含有木马病毒的支付APP）实施诈骗的团伙。In March, cybersecurity officers in Shanghai located a group of suspects who posted escortservices on their social media accounts, mostly on WeChat moments. It turnedout that they were actually committing cyber fraud. Anyone who requests theservice has to set up an APP for payment. Victims were told they needed to setup the APP and check into a hotel room before services would be rendered. Theywere also instructed to pay first on the APP which would hold the funds behindpassword encryption【加密】 until after the service is delivered.今年三月，上海网安总队民警发现了一个在社交媒体平台（大多为微信朋友圈）中发布“三陪”信息的嫌疑人团伙。通过侦察，民警发现这个团伙正在进行网络诈骗，一旦有人前来咨询服务，就会要求他们安装APP进行支付。犯罪分子要求受害人安装好软件后先去旅馆开房，然后让他们准备好支付口令红包，并告诉他们只要不透露密码，红包就不会被领取，等到服务完成后，再当面进行交出口令。INTERVIEWEE:Zhang Lin,Cyber Security Officer, Shanghai Public Security Bereau张琳上海市公安局网安总队三支队中队长Most victims let theirguard down after learning the payment is made after the service is provided,even though they had already wired【给…电汇】 the money.这种犯罪是以表诚意付定金的形式，所以往往被害人这时候是放松警惕的。As a matter of fact,the APP intercepts【拦截】 the passcode once the payment is made, victimsended up waiting in hotels room without knowing their money had already beentransferred. In addition, the APP also hacks into a victim’s phone contacts.Suspects pressured victims into not calling the police, by threatening tonotify their contacts about their attempt to hire escorts.实际上，由于已经安装了这个来路不明的APP，受害者在发好口令红包的同时，口令就会被截取，犯罪团伙直接领走了红包内的钱款，开了房的受害者就此人财两空，而且由于通讯录泄露，往往还会被要挟而不敢报警。INTERVIEWEE:Su, Suspect苏某犯罪嫌疑人There was never such anescort service for any of those victims. We just tricked them into paying.领掉红包之后其实是没有这个服务的，他们就被骗了。Also in April, anothergroup of 9 suspects were caught in Shanghai, Heilongjiang and Guangdong. Theywere found to have committed cyber fraud with similar means involving over 400thousand yuan. This group published download information of an on demandpornographic video APP. On the APP page, it reads, one yuan for one clip only.When victims make the payment, the APP changes the amount without prompting theuser. Victims only learned of this well after the payment is complete, when itis impossible to get the money back.4月15日，专案组在上海奉贤、黑龙江、广东等地同步收网，抓获9名以相似手法实施诈骗的犯罪嫌疑人，初步查证，涉案金额40多万元。这套暗雷代码被制作成一款色情视频点播APP。被害人安装后，页面显示，仅需1-2元就能点播视频。然而这个支付界面也是伪造的，实际发送给支付平台的支付金额往往在几百至千元不等，被害人只有在支付成功之后才能看见真实的支付信息，但此时钱款已经无法追回。INTERVIEWEE:Zhang Lin,Cyber Security Officer, Shanghai Public Security Bereau张琳上海市公安局网安总队三支队中队长Victims see a fakepage. The APP intercepts users’ payment password. Then the system changes theamount into 999 or 1,000 yuan. Before the payment is complete, victims have noidea how much they paid.这个页面是虚假的，等于他获得了你的密码，你的支付请求也在他的代码里，1块他改成了999元或者1000块，无法察觉到你是损失了多少钱的。Some fraudsters arealso taking advantage of the user payment interception function to create otherAPPs to commit fraud on other much larger target groups, such as onlineshoppers. Police are reminding residents not to download APPs via weblinks, QRcodes or text messages that they do not recognize.基于暗雷代码，犯罪分子还开发出各类变种APP，目标诈骗范围有所扩大，如使用在线购物的消费者群体。警方提示，切记不能通过网页链接、二维码或短信下载来路不明的应用软件。#热词加油站liftoff【发射；升空】relay【转发；转播】abide by【坚持；遵守】defraud【诈骗】encryption【加密】wire【给…电汇】intercept【拦截】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

大家好！今天是端午节！(端 beginning 五five 花字补充) It's one of four major Chinese festivals, along with the Spring Festival, the Qingming Festival, the Mid-autumn Festival.Duanwu is more commonly known as the Dragon Boat Festival, mainly due to the fast, fun and sometimes furious races. Follow the drumbeat to a village near Foshan, Guangdong Province, where skilled paddlers maneuver their dragon boasts along narrow waterways.

The next flight was 3 to 4 hours later, which could have potentially caused damage to the organ. The airline delayed the flight for him.由于获取捐献肝脏的手术时间延长，导致朱医生无法按照预定时间赶到机场。如果换乘后续航班，需要再等上三四个小时，器官保存的潜在风险更大。本着"生命至上"的原则，航空公司决定尽全力保障。NAT WITH SUBTITLESAre you taking Flight 5220?Let’s go.【实况 3500 是不是5220？走走走，给我】Dr. Zhu and his companion were led to the boarding gate after checking-in quickly.以最快的速度办好登机手续后，工作人员带着两位乘客在出发大厅一路飞奔。NAT WITH SUBTITLESWe’ve just got on the cart.- Excuse me.【实况 3753 刚刚上电瓶车，请让一下】At the same time, cabin crew had prepared their boarding.与此同时，机舱里，机组和乘务组也做好了准备。PHONE INTERVIEWMU5220乘务长 毛袁珍“他一上来，我们就和地面做好交接，就保障这个航班运行的关门了。”As soon as the doctor boarded the plane, we contacted ground staff and closed the cabin door.  NAT WITH SUBTITLESWe’ll close the door now.【实况 4146 好，关门了】Although the cabin door was closed 11 minutes later, the flight arrived at Pudong International Airport before its scheduled arrival time.

The man, while gripping Macron’s arm, slapped the president right across the face. Security guards quickly intervened, tackling the man and pulling the president away. The man who slapped Macron and another man who filmed the video were detained. Both of them live in the region. Macron described the incident as an "isolated act".视频画面显示，当时马克龙正走到围栏边，想与民众互动。一名长发男子左手拉住马克龙右手猛抽他的脸颊。现场安保人员一拥而上，将男子摁倒在地，并将马克龙带离。警方随后 将掌掴 马克龙的男子，和现场另一名进行拍摄的男子逮捕，初步调查显示，两人都是德龙省本地人。马克龙表示，这是一起“孤立事件”。Emmanuel Macron，French President马克龙 法国总统“Some people express anger, sometimes disarray ... that’s legitimate anger, and we will continue to respond.

Macron’s approval rating in public has been plummeting, especially after the Yellow Vests movement in 2018 and his failure on pension reform in 2019. Macron’s six-week political tour aims to meet with the public as France’s presidential election less than a year away. 法国前总统奥朗德、议员梅朗雄、玛丽娜·勒庞等政坛名人当天也纷纷发声，谴责暴力行为。马克龙的支持率步步走低，特别是在2018年的"黄背心"运动，以及2019年强推养老金改革失败之后。有分析认为，马克龙此次为期6周的全国视察正是为明年4月的大选“探路”。订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

I'm reporter Sun Siqi and here's a look at the details.上周末，31国驻华使节来到上海，实地考察了上海经济社会巨大成就。各国大使们纷纷为上海近几十年来的快速发展“点赞”。The trip began in Pudong, the poster child【典范】 of China’s development, where the area known for its muddy swamps was transformed into the country’s financial center.In Zhangjiang Science City, the ambassadors were impressed with robots and prosthetic implants.参观之旅的首站是浦东，从阡陌农田到金融中心，浦东开发开放是中国改革开放和社会主义现代化建设最生动的实践写照。在张江科学城，各种机器人以及假肢技术也给大使们留下了深刻的印象。INTERVIEWEE:Milia Jabbour,Ambassador of Lebanon （黎巴嫩共和国驻华大使）“Whatever we see in China is impressive -- what we saw from slums, how Pudong was before and howit was transformed, it is really impressive. We cannot see this elsewhere in the world.”“我们在中国看到的一切都是令人惊叹的，就比如浦东发展的巨大变化。我在世界任何一个地方都不曾看过这样的发展。”INTERVIEWEE:Antonio SerifoEmbalo, Ambassador of Guinea-Bissau （几内亚比绍共和国驻华大使）“I’ve never beento Shanghai.

The compound also has a community service center offering medical services like blood pressure tests, massages and other TCM treatments. Machines help residents pay their utilities bills. The ambassadors were impressed with how tech breakthroughs make life better for the public.接着，大使们来到了长宁区的一处老居民区。这里之前没有电梯，基础设施也非常老化。百分之四十的居民都在六十岁以上。居民们一致决定出资加装电梯。此外，社区服务中心还为居民提供医疗卫生服务，包括量血压、按摩以及中医诊疗。居民还能在机器上自助办理物业费缴纳等。大使们对此赞叹不已。INTERVIEWEE:Luis SchmidtMontes, Ambassador of Chile （智利共和国驻华大使）“Not only the elevator, you know the Communist Party during the last 40 years, eradicated poverty, more than 100 millions of person -- all these demonstrations reflect the preoccupation【思虑；全神贯注】 about the government for the people.”“其实不仅仅是电梯，中国共产党在过去四十年里致力于消除贫困，帮助上亿人脱贫——这一切都表明了中国共产党始终将人民群众利益放在首位。The tour ended at Yangpu District’s riverside promenade【滨海大道】, an area once known as Shanghai’s rust belt due to all the factories. Ambassadors were impressed with the idea and its beauty.行程的最后，大使们来到了杨浦滨江，曾经工厂密布的老工业区一度被称为上海的“铁锈地带”。而今，滨江的建设理念与美丽的风景令大使们印象深刻。INTERVIEWEE:Felix PlasenciaGonzalez, Ambassador of Venezuela （委内瑞拉玻利瓦尔共和国驻华大使）“Fantastic, it’s good for the people living here, it’s amazing for those coming to visit.

However, the house was too small for large-scale exhibitions.

So for us, the initial development cost isrelatively small. In the future we will design personalized interfaces for the Harmony system, so that the Harmony user experience will be better.”互联网应用开发者因为本身它其实从应用商场里面，是能够把我们以前在安卓市场上架的应用程序下载下来，同时也能很顺畅地在鸿蒙系统上进行运行。所以对我们来说，前期的开发成本就比较少了，后续就是针对鸿蒙系统做一些个性化的交互操作，让鸿蒙的用户体验会更好一些。In addition to being applied to a single device, the HarmonyOS can also build a "super terminal" through cross-device interaction, allowing consumers to control multiple devices assimply as operating just one.除了应用于单个设备之外，HarmonyOS（鸿蒙）系统还可以通过跨设备交互构建一个“超级终端”。消费者操控多个设备像操作一台设备一样简单。SPEAKER:Yu Chengdong, Huawei Executive Director余承东 华为常务董事、消费者业务首席执行官“There is a lot of variation in terms ofhow much memory and how much processing power is required by different hardware【硬件】. But HarmonyOS adapts to different hardware and devices.”不同硬件，有的内存非常小，有的内存非常大，有的处理能力要求很高，有的处理能力弱，但是需要长续航等等。用一套HarmonyOS（鸿蒙）系统来解决了不同硬件不同设备的能力。Android and Apple together account for morethan 99 percent of the operating system market. Experts said the emergence ofHarmonyOS is likely to break their dominance【支配】.Huawei said that it has cooperated with thousands of hardware and app developers,along with service providers to build HarmonyOS.安卓和苹果系统在操作系统市场中所占份额超过99%。专家表示，HarmonyOS（鸿蒙）系统的出现可能会打破安卓和苹果系统的支配地位。为打造鸿蒙系统，华为与数千家硬件、应用开发公司以及服务商进行了合作。3.S.KOREANS PROTEST JAPAN’S PLAN TO DUMPPADIOACTIVE WATERAs World Oceans Day approaches, South Koreans yesterday protested against Japan’s decision to dump radioactive wastewater from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean. Demonstrations took place outside the Japanese embassy and many other places across the country.随着世界海洋日的临近，昨日，韩国人针对日本将福岛第一核电站放射性废水倾倒太平洋的决定进行了抗议。日本大使馆外以及全国多地都发生了示威游行。In Seoul, several civic groups held a rallyprotesting Japan’s decision, calling on Tokyo to scrap the plan. South Korea hasopposed to the release of what it calls "contaminated water" as thetreatment doesn’t remove tritium, a relative of hydrogen that emits weak radiation. Japan has said the treated water poses no safety concerns.首尔民间团体举行示威，抗议日本排放核废水的决定，并呼吁取消这一计划。由于日本的核废水处理方法无法去除氚（氢的一种同位素），氚仍能发出微弱的辐射，因此韩国对排放核废水表示反对。日本政府则表示，处理后的水不会存在安全问题。The protesters also wrote to the Japanese ambassador to South Korea to ask him offer a better solution to protect the Pacific Ocean. Apart from Seoul, there are more than 60 environmental protection organizations and civic groups across South Korea have taken part in rallies against Japan’s decision. Fishery workers and people inthe Gyeongsangnam-do Province held a rally yesterday using over 100 fishingboats to display a large banner【横幅】with thewords "Protect the Pacific" in large letters.抗议者还写信至日本驻韩国大使，要求提供更好的解决方案，以保护太平洋的生态环境。除首尔外，韩国各地还有60多个环保组织和民间团体参加了反对日本核废水排放的示威活动。昨天，庆尚南道的渔民及民众也举行了集会，共出动100多艘渔船，在海面上排列成“保护海洋”的字样。Japan announced its plan in April to discharge the tritium-laced water from the Fukushima nuclear plant. The plan calls for more than 1.25 million tons stored in tanks, to be released into the ocean inabout two years.日本政府在4月份宣布了福岛核电站含氚废水入海计划。日本将超过125万吨核废水储存在水箱中，在约两年时间内陆续将其排放至海洋中。#热词加油站renovate【翻新】Marxism【马克思主义】tablet【平板电脑】hardware【硬件】dominance【支配】banner【横幅】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

NEWSON 06/011.CHILDCARE,EDUCATION COSTS ON THE TABLE AS CHINA 3RD CHILD POLICY想生不敢生？一起期待“三孩政策”配套支持措施的完善吧！2.1680 MISSING CHILDREN FOUND IN MAJOR PUBLIC SECURITY OPERATION1680个孩子回家了，这是1680个家庭的“团圆”！3.WHONOW LISTING COVID-19 VARIANTS WITH GREEK LETTERS避免污名化，世卫组织改用希腊字母为变异病毒命名！-----------------喜欢我们的小伙伴请记得点亮右下角的爱心哦-----------------1.CHILDCARE,EDUCATION COSTS ON THE TABLE AS CHINA 3RD CHILD POLICYAfter yesterday’s announcement that couples will be able to have three children, the NationalHealth Commission answered a slew of questions today.今天，国家卫生健康委员会就昨天宣布的三孩政策答记者问。Health authorities said after second-child policies were introduced in 2013, the proportion of the population under the age of 14 has increased. But across the board, the number of new-borns is declining and health authorities listed three factors.国家卫生健康委员会有关负责人表示，自2013年出台二胎政策以来，0-14岁少儿人口占比有所提高。但总体而言，新生儿数量仍在下降。国家卫健委有关负责人提出了以下三个原因。First, the number of women between the ages of 20 and 34 decreased by an annual average of 3.4 million between 2015 and2020. Second, the number of couples getting married has dropped for seven straight years -- down from 13 million couples in 2013 to 8 million last year, a 40 percent plunge. Third, couples are less willing to have children. Married couples born in the 1990s on average are willing to have 1.66 babies, 10percent lower than a couple born in the 1980s. The main reasons couples are less willing to have children are: the expenses, the difficulty of finding someone to care for the children, and women under pressure to balance work and family. Demographics【人口统计】experts say a third-child policy is essential for improving the population structure in the long run as it will increase the labor pool and reduce the effects of an aging population.首先，2015-2020年，20-34岁生育旺盛期妇女规模年均减少340万人。此外，全国结婚登记人数连续7年下降，从2013年的约1300万对下降至2020年的约800万对，减少40%。第三，群众生育意愿降低。我国“90后”平均打算生育子女数仅为1.66个，比“80后”低10%。夫妻生育意愿较低的主要原因是：经济负担重、婴幼儿无人照料和女性难以平衡家庭与工作的关系。人口专家表示，从长远来看，三孩政策将增加劳动力供给，减少人口老龄化带来的影响，对于改善人口结构至关重要。INTERVIEW:Zhai Zhenwu, Secretary General, China Population Association翟振武，中国人口学会会长The birthrate has decreased the past couple of years, and the number of newborns will continue to slide. I am confident the policy will contribute to bringing the birthrate to a moderate level.在最近一两年，我们的生育率还在持续下降，出生人数也还会下降。我觉得处在这个背景下，一定会在实现适度生育水平这个方面，能够有所贡献。A slew of questions also followed about how to minimize obstacles to have children. China announced it will take lowering child-care and education costs into consideration, and will try to provide fairer and more high-quality schools for everyone.随之而来的一系列问题是，如何最大限度地进行全面配套支持。对此，国家表示将考虑降低幼儿保育和教育成本，并努力为每个孩子提供更加公平、优质的学校教育。INTERVIEW:Zhang Benbo, Director of Social Policy,National Development & Reform Commission张本波，国家发展改革委，社会发展所社会政策室主任In the 14th Five-Year Plan, we plan to build integrated community centers in 150 cities that offer up to 500,000openings for affordable nursery care.在十四五规划也提出一个建设项目，就是在150个城市，通过发展普惠的综合中心和社区中心，提供50万个普惠托位。Policymakers also say they will improve maternity leave【产假】, increase financial support on housing and taxation, and protect women in the workplace who have children.国家将完善产假制度，增加住房和税收方面的财政支持，并保护有孩子的职业女性的权益。2.1680 MISSING CHILDREN FOUND IN MAJOR PUBLIC SECURITY OPERATIONThe Ministry of Public Security said public security forces had found 1,680 missing children since the launch of a special operation to track and find missing and abducted【被诱拐的】children in January. Among the cases, the longest unsolved case was 54 years.公安部表示，自今年1月开展查找被拐失踪儿童的专项行动以来，全国公安机关共找回失踪儿童1680名。其中，案件时间跨度最长达54年。Police across the country also cracked 85long-pending cases, arrested 223 suspects【嫌疑犯】in abduction and human trafficking【贩卖人口】, and organized more than 400 family reunions. The operation, dubbed"Reunion", started in January. The goal was to solve the backlog of child abduction and trafficking cases, arrest suspects and find the missing children. The ministry directly supervised major cases, deployed a number of criminal technology and intelligence research experts, pooled all resources and used the country’s DNA system to identify the children.全国公安机关共侦破拐卖儿童积案85起，抓获拐卖犯罪嫌疑人223名，组织认亲400余场。“团圆”行动始于今年1月，以侦破拐卖儿童积案、抓捕犯罪嫌疑人、查找失踪被拐儿童为主要目标。此次，公安部督办一批重大拐卖儿童积案，依托“全国打拐DNA系统”，并从全国抽调一批刑事技术、情报研判专家，集中力量和各种资源手段查找失踪被拐儿童。3.WHONOW LISTING COVID-19 VARIANTS WITH GREEK LETTERSThe World Health Organization announced yesterday that COVID-19 variants【变种】previously labeled with their scientific names have been given new names using the Greek alphabet.世界卫生组织昨天宣布，将改用希腊字母命名变异新冠病毒。The WHO said the new system will make it easier for people to refer to these strains in public discussions, and also prevent stigmatization and discrimination. The B.1.1.7 strain that was first detected in the UK will now be called the "Alpha variant".世卫组织表示，改用希腊字母命名不仅为了去污名化，也为了简化变种病毒名称。例如，英国首先发现的B.1.1.7变异毒株，被命名为Alpha（阿尔法）。The WHO said the new labels will be used to refer to the strains and will not completely replace the scientific names.世卫组织强调，新命名体系将用于指代菌株，不会取代病毒原有的科学名称。#热词加油站Demographics【人口统计】maternity leave【产假】abduct【诱拐】suspect【嫌疑犯】human trafficking【贩卖人口】variant【变种】 订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Everyone riding an e-bike is required to wear a helmet under regulations that came into force this month.许多家长或监护人接孩子放学时，往往会忘记要多带一个头盔。为保障学生安全，上海宝山区现约有100所小学提供电动自行车头盔共享服务。根据上海市本月起施行的规定，驾驶电动自行车时，驾驶人和乘坐人员必须佩戴安全头盔。 At about 3 o’clock this afternoon, most of the parents waiting at the gate of Baoshan Foreign Languages School were riding e-bikes. Some forgot a helmet for their child. School employees allowed these students to borrow a helmet, which needs to be returned tomorrow.下午3点左右，已有不少家长等候在宝山外国语学校门口。大多数家长骑着电动车，部分家长却忘了给孩子带头盔。因此，学校为学生提供了共享头盔服务，且学生需在第二天将其归还。 INTERVIEW:PARENTS 家长Sometimes I may forget to bring a helmet when I’m in a hurry.

China’s permanent representative to the UN Office at Geneva said the Chinese delegation firmly supported the WHA’s decision.昨日，世界卫生大会（世卫组织的最高权力机构）再拒将涉台提案纳入议程。中国常驻联合国日内瓦办事处代表表示，中国代表团坚决支持世界卫生组织的决定。 Noting that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China, Chen Xu the country’s permanent representative to the UN Office at Geneva, said UNGA Resolution 2758 and WHA Resolution 25.1 provided the legal basis for the WHO to abide by the one-China principle【一个中国原则】, and recognized Taiwan as part of China. Chen said, the Taiwan proposal is in violation of the principles of the UN Charter, runs against the WHO’s Constitution and the WHA’s Rules of Procedure, and is illegal.中国常驻联合国日内瓦办事处代表陈旭大使在发言中表示，台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分。涉台提案违反《联合国宪章》宗旨和原则，违反联合国大会第2758号决议和世卫大会25.1号决议所确认的一个中国原则，违反世卫组织《组织法》和世卫大会《议事规则》，是非法、无效的。 According to Chen, the central government has made appropriate arrangements for Taiwan region’s participation in global health affairs under the one-China principle. Since the coronavirus pandemic began, health experts in the Taiwan region have participated in 16 WHO technical activities, Chen noted. The WHO secretariat briefed health experts in the Taiwan region several times on the pandemic. He said the so-called "international epidemic prevention gap" does not exist, nor do experts from the Taiwan region lack channels to share medical information and experiences with others.陈旭表示，在一个中国原则的前提下，中国中央政府对台湾地区参与全球卫生事务作出了妥善安排。疫情发生以来，中国中央政府批准台湾地区卫生专家参加世卫组织技术活动16次，数次接受世卫组织秘书处疫情信息通报。陈旭表示，根本不存在所谓“国际防疫体系缺口”，也不缺少台卫生专家对外介绍岛内疫情防控做法的渠道和平台。 Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said yesterday by the time the WHA opened, more than 150 countries had voiced their support for its decision. More than 80 WHO members had sent letters to the WHO to express their commitment to the one-China principle and opposition to Taiwan’s participation in the WHA. China also urged countries to stop politicizing health issues and refrain from interfering in China’s internal affairs through the Taiwan issue. Zhao said this will only hurt their own interests, adding that these acts are doomed to fail.中国外交部发言人赵立坚表示，本届大会开幕前，已有150多个国家通过外交渠道，表示支持中方决定。80多个国家专门致函世卫组织，表明坚持一个中国原则，反对台湾参加世卫大会。中方敦促个别国家，停止将卫生问题政治化，停止借台湾问题干涉中国内政，否则只会搬起石头砸自己的脚，注定以失败告终。 #热词加油站automate【自动化】facial recognition technology【人脸识别技术】QR code【二维码】discern【识别】susceptible【易受影响的】human trafficking【贩卖人口】coronary heart disease【冠心病】guardian【监护人】disinfect【消毒】one-China principle【一个中国原则】 订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

NEWS ON 05/201.XI, PUTIN WITNESS OPENING OF NUCLEAR ENERGY PROJECTS硬“核”开工！中俄合作再添“核”动力！2.CRYPTO IS ON THE ROPES AGAIN, BUT AN EXPERT TAKES THE LONG VIEW比特币历史性暴跌，“凛冬将至”的预兆？3.HAPPY LOVERS’ DAY - AND SOME GOOD ADVICE TOO恋爱怎么谈？情感大V助你一臂之力！ -----------------喜欢我们的小伙伴请记得点亮右下角的爱心哦----------------- 1.XI, PUTIN WITNESS OPENING OF NUCLEAR ENERGY PROJECTSPresident Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin yesterday hailed, via video link, nuclear energy cooperation between the two countries. A groundbreaking【开创性的】ceremony was held to mark the first day of construction of power units No. 7 and 8, which include reactors, generators【发电机】and containment vessels, at Tianwan(田湾) Nuclear Power Plant in Jiangsu Province, and power units No. 3 and 4, which include reactors, generators and containment vessels, at the Xudapu(徐大堡) Nuclear Power Plant in Liaoning Province. Song Wenjing has more.昨日，习近平主席在北京通过视频连线，同俄罗斯总统普京共同见证两国核能合作项目——田湾核电站和徐大堡核电站开工仪式。开工仪式热烈祝贺位于江苏省的田湾核电站7号、8号机组（包括反应堆、发电机和安全壳）以及位于辽宁省的徐大堡核电站3号、4号机组（包括反应堆、发电机和安全壳）正式开工。 Xi reiterated【重申】China’s close attention to long-standing energy cooperation with Russia. Stressing that bilateral【双边的】cooperation on nuclear energy is part of their strategic partnership, Xi said he hopes both countries will build on this and identify other sectors for cooperation. He made three main points. First, he highlighted the importance of safety and security during construction, urging workers to always put safety first, while striving to set an example for global nuclear cooperation. Second, innovation needs to be a driving force in such cooperation, said Xi, calling for greater integration【结合】of technology. Third, Xi said China and Russia should remain committed to strategic coordination and work to promote international energy governance. Putin said cooperation on the peaceful use of nuclear energy marks a significant step in the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries. He added the project will inject new vitality into Russia-China relations, but also help achieve carbon neutrality.习近平强调，能源合作一直是两国务实合作中分量最重、成果最多、范围最广的领域，核能是其战略性优先合作方向，一系列重大项目相继建成投产。习近平提出三点希望。第一，坚持安全第一，树立全球核能合作典范。第二，坚持创新驱动，深化核能科技合作内涵。第三，坚持战略协作，推动全球能源治理体系协调发展。俄罗斯总统普京表示，和平利用核能合作是俄中新时代全面战略协作伙伴关系的重要组成部分。这一核能合作项目，不仅将为俄中关系进一步发展注入新的活力，也将助力实现碳达峰、碳中和目标。 "Start" announced by two presidents习近平下达指令“开工！”普京下达指令“启动！” Once completed, the four units are expected to effectively help China meets is target to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.此次开工的4台核电机组建成之后，将有效帮助中国实现减少二氧化碳排放的目标。 2.CRYPTO IS ON THE ROPES AGAIN, BUT AN EXPERT TAKES THE LONG VIEWNow it was another bruising session for crypto-currencies【加密货币】as margin calls started to add to the bad news for Bitcoin and Ether. Bitcoin had lost nearly one percent at one point today and a short time ago was trading at 39,885.27 US dollars. A lot of crypto investors had been using borrowed money for extra leverage and the huge falls of the last few days have triggered forced sales of billions of dollars worth of those positions, pushing the price down even further. The People’s Bank of China added to some of the selling Tuesday when it reminded Chinese banks that crypto assets like Bitcoin aren’t legal currency in China and financial firms shouldn’t be helping people trade in it.加密货币又迎来了一个痛苦的交易日。无力追加保证金的投资者只能眼睁睁看着自己被强平，进一步加剧了比特币和以太币的踩踏式下跌。今日，比特币一度下跌近1%，不久前的交易价格为39885.27美元。许多加密货币投资者一直通过借钱来增加杠杆，而过去几天的巨幅下挫直接造成数十亿美元计的杠杆仓位被强平，从而进一步压低了价格。周二，中国人民银行提醒中国各银行，比特币等加密资产在中国不属于法定货币，金融机构不为虚拟货币交易提供服务。这一公告也加剧了比特币抛售。 SPEAKER:Bobby Lee, Founder & CEO, Ballet鲍比·李，创始人和首席执行官，加密钱包BalletBitcoin today, until it becomes less volatile【不稳定的】, it is not suitable for day to day payments. It is not suitable to pay for a taxi ride. You might have enough bitcoin and think you can go to the airport, and by the time you get to the airport if Bitcoin falls by 20% you don’t have enough to pay for the ride. That would be terrible. Same with supermarket shopping or even online commerce.如今的比特币不适合作为日常支付手段，除非它能够变得稳定起来。用于支付出租车车费是不合适的。假设你有足够的比特币，但当你到达机场时，比特币下跌了20%，你就没有足够的钱来支付车费了，这很有问题。超市购物或者网上购物也是一样的情况。 The other huge factor in Bitcoin’s recent rise and fall has been Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s flip-flop on whether he’d allow the world’s biggest crypto asset to be used to buy his cars. First he said it would, and now he’s decided that bitcoin mining is bad for the environment because it uses too much electricity.比特币近期起伏较大的另一个重要因素是，特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克，关于是否允许使用比特币这一世界第一大加密货币来购买特斯拉汽车的态度一再转变。一开始他表示认同，现在他又认为比特币挖矿消耗太多电力，会对环境造成危害。 SPEAKER:Bobby Lee, Founder & CEO, Ballet鲍比·李，创始人和首席执行官，加密钱包BalletElon Musk has a large megaphone so when he speaks a lot of people listen - a lot of people are his fans, his followers. So you know, I guess our industry benefitted from him embracing crypto in January and February, the market rallied and now he’s sort of changed his mind again and the market corrects a bit. But I’m not worried because bitcoin’s success will not depend on Elon.埃隆·马斯克的影响力很大，所以当他说话的时候，很多人都会听——很多人是他的粉丝以及追随者。所以，我猜想今年1月和2月的时候，整个行业受益于他对加密货币的认可态度，上升显著；而现在他又改变了主意，因此市场回调。但我并不担心，因为比特币的成功与否并不取决于埃隆·马斯克。  3.HAPPY LOVERS’ DAY - AND SOME GOOD ADVICE TOOToday is known as Lovers’ Day in China, since "May 20th" can sound a little like the phrase "I love you" in Chinese. It’s a happy day for happy couples, and in addition to traditional celebrations, they can now take a look at other people’s love stories, online - and maybe get some good advice too. Ying Junyi has more.由于“520”发音与汉语中的“我爱你”相似，因此5月20日在中国也被视为情人节。对于情侣来说，今天是一个美好的日子。除了传统的庆祝活动，还可以在网上围观别人的爱情故事——也许还能收获一些不错的情感建议。 In the digital era we’ve all gotten used to the idea that key opinion leaders【意见领袖】can have a great deal of influence among their followers. But now people are beginning to share their love stories and experiences online, and social media platforms are beginning to be new guides for people looking for ways to get along better with their significant other.在数字化时代，各平台大V在粉丝中往往拥有的巨大影响力，对此，人们早已见怪不怪。但现在人们开始在网上分享自己的爱情故事和经历，社交媒体平台也开始成为情侣间寻求更好相处方式的新途径。 INTERVIEW:Citizens 市民How to be together, how to find a good partner, I always watch those things.怎么相处啊，应该找什么样的人啊。不只是好的，一些毒鸡汤也会不停去看。 I’m curious about the stories, and want to learn from them. And the ones online or on TV are pretty interesting.就是想知道些同龄人的故事啊，而且网上啦电视上他们都比较有趣，取取经什么的。 They’re something fresh. I don’t watch them, but my wife does. Fresh young couple aren’t like us, they’re happy to talk about things online.我觉得应该来说是新鲜感吧。我不看这些，但我太太看这些，像新的年轻人他们都喜欢在网上嘛，不一定是在线下，想知道就是他们的观念。 Hong Chenyao has more than 65 thousand followers listening to her stories on Weibo. She and her husband Mr. Liu have been updating their social platforms with their daily interactions for a long time now. Much of their content is relationship tips, with more and more people are now asking them for advice. The couple say they’ve benefitted from that themselves.洪女士在微博上有超过6.5万名粉丝收听她的情感故事。很长一段时间以来，她和丈夫刘先生一直将他们的互动日常发布在社交平台上。他们大部分内容是恋爱技巧类的，所以现在越来越多的年轻人会来向他们寻求帮助，他们觉得自己也从中受益不少。 INTERVIEW:Hong Chenyao & Liu, VloggerHandling relationship problems is not like working or something else that has fixed models. We have been together for a long time, and our followers want to learn something about that. So we decided to share our stories.情感类的内容，它不像工作或者其它东西有固定的模式，大家可能有疑问或者比较好奇我觉得 然后我们在一起很久了有很多经历和想法，就很自然而然的分享出来了。 At first, she made videos on her own. When I started to help her, I found we have more time together, so it’s good for our relationship too.以前视频主要还是她个人做，后来我渐渐也参与其中，平时日常互动的时间变多了，对于我们感情我觉得这也是非常直接的正面影响。 And their stories are helping out not just couples, but also singles who are struggling to be in a relationship. The experts say there’s a need for that.他们的故事不仅帮助了许多情侣，也帮助了那些在恋爱中苦苦挣扎的单身人士。专家表示，现在人们确实会有大量咨询情感问题的需求。 INTERVIEW:Dr. Paul Wang, Founder, Dr. Paul Wellness GroupNowadays a lot of people are scared to going to marriage as the divorce rate is quite high. A lot of people, when they immersed into these characters, they are trying out to see if how a relationship will look like or how to resolve conflicts, how do they work together, how do they have their daily life being showcased. In the current generation, people do have a lot of need in terms of being understanding and connecting with people.现在很多人害怕结婚，因为离婚率很高。当人们沉浸在恋爱关系中时，会试图了解一段关系是什么样的，或者如何解决矛盾，如何协力合作，又如何展示自己的日常生活。现代社会中，人们确实会在与他人的理解和沟通方面有很多需求。 And with people attracted to the KOL couples, some brand marketing strategies are starting to take them into account as well. Hong Chenyao has already managed to commercialize their account by partnering with cosmetics makers and home appliance【（家用）电器】providers - good advice, and good business as well. Happy May 20th!随着情侣大V获得越来越多的关注，一些品牌营销也开始向他们伸出橄榄枝。洪女士已经通过与化妆品制造商和家电供应商的合作，成功实现了账号商业化——这是一个很好的建议，也是一笔不错的生意。“520”快乐！ #热词加油站groundbreaking【开创性的】generator【发电机】reiterate【重申】bilateral【双边的】integration【结合】crypto-currencies【加密货币】volatile【不稳定的】key opinion leader【意见领袖】appliance【（家用）电器】订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~

Wang added that China welcomes negotiators from the two countries to hold direct talks in China.

Many of the animals were in poor health when they were rescued. INTERVIEW：Chen Yunlian, Chengdu Home of Love Animal Rescue Center陈运莲，成都"爱之家"负责人“You can imagine the cruelty when these little ones were kept in a closed space with no water, food or proper air circulation.”你想那么幼小的生命，加上头天还禁食禁水，加上这个车还是全封闭的，没有空气流通，肯定是受不了，肯定是非常悲惨的。 The center said it had taken the animals following health checkups that were arranged by local animal disease control authorities. The healthy ones will be available to adopt. On Tuesday, ZTO apologized for collecting live animals from e-retailers, which it said breached rules. It added that an employee overseeing safety affairs in the province had been suspended with salary deducted. Chengdu’s post bureau said they will investigate the matter. Some companies sell a series of toys in blind boxes. Each box comes with a toy, but the buyer doesn’t know which one until opening it. In most cases, each series contains one rare toy, so many customers enjoy trying to collect a whole set. Now "pet blind boxes" are being offering on e-commerce platforms like Taobao and Pinduoduo. Buyers receive a pet of unknown breed and appearance that can cost anywhere from 10 to thousands of Yuan. They are required to sign a waiver "no return, no exchange". INTERVIEW：Citizen市民“I can’t understand such behavior. It has no guarantee, and animals die easily.”我是无法接受的，没有保障吧，生命很容易就死了，那种盲盒。 In most cases, the puppies and kittens haven’t been vaccinated and can potentially spread disease. They endure difficult conditions as some are transported across provincial borders, leading some to suffocate or die of dehydration. It’s illegal for courier companies to transport live animals. Companies or individuals must complete the necessary quarantine, vaccination and registration certificates before shipping a live animal. 订阅我们，打卡每日精选英语新闻！不定期投放“精品大咖访谈”喜欢生肉贴的小伙伴，可以常来逛逛哟~更多视频内容，欢迎订阅我们的油管频道↓↓↓

CHINA PLANTS 36 MILLION HECTARES OF FOREST世界地球日：保护森林我们在行动！Today marks the 52nd Earth Day. According to the United Nations, the world lost an average of 4.7 million hectares 【公顷】 of forested land a year in the past decade. But Asia was the region that realized the biggest net gain at an average of 1.2 million hectares a year, most of which was contributed by China. Here’s Chen Xuan with the details.今天是第五十二个世界地球日。联合国数据显示，过去十年中，林地以每年470万公顷的速度流失。然而，亚洲的林地面积每年净增120万公顷，其中大部分来自于我国植树造林工程。请听陈璇带来的报道。In the past five years, China planted 36 million hectares of forest. The country’s total forested area is now 220 million hectares, including 80 million of planted forests. The forest coverage rate has reached 23 percent, with forest stock volume exceeding 17.5 billion cubic meters. Both numbers have increased in the past 30 years. Biodiversity is also being preserved. Managers of the country’s largest mangrove forest【红树林】 in Guangxi Province say they have spotted【发现】 more endangered bird species, including the critically endangered spoon-billed sandpiper.在过去五年中，我国共种植3600万公顷森林，总林地面积达到2.2亿公顷，包括8000万种植林面积。过去的三十年间，森林覆盖率和蓄积量均不断上升：覆盖率达到23%，蓄积量超过175亿立方米。生物多样性保护也在稳步进行。广西省拥有面积最大的红树林保护区，工作人员表示，他们已经发现了更多的濒危鸟群，包括极度濒危物种勺嘴鹬。Interviewee: Tang Shangbo, Guangxi Beilunhe Estuary National Nature Reserve受访者：唐上波 广西北仑河口国家级自然保护区工作人员“I observed seven spoon-billed sandpipers 【鹬鸟】this year, the most ever.

It was 76 percent last year. The number of aquatic birds increases by about 50,000 annually.”“2007年的时候，整个青海湖的植被覆盖率是65%，2020年我们已经达到了76%。而且整个水鸟的种群数呈增长趋势，每年平均增长5万只左右。”The Ministry of Natural Resources【自然资源部】 has set goals to preserve biodiversity in key areas like the estuaries of the Yellow River, Yangtze River, tropical forests and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This year also marks the fifth anniversary of the Paris Accord signing. China has set a goal of having carbon dioxide emissions peak by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality 【中和；中立】 by 2060. It is estimated that carbon emissions per capita will reach 8 tons by 2030. It was more than 10 tons when major Western nations hit their emissions peak.自然资源部提出保护重点地区生物多样性，例如黄河河口、热带雨林和青藏高原地区。此外，今年也是《巴黎协定》签订五周年，中国的目标是在2030年达到碳排放顶峰，2060年实现碳中和。据估计，2030年我国人均碳排放量将达到8吨，而主要西方国家碳排放峰值则超过10吨。 2. TESLA TO HAND IN DRIVING DATA AFTER BUYER’S PROTEST AT AUTO SHOW特斯拉公开“安阳刹车事故”前1分钟数据 Electric vehicle maker Tesla agreed yesterday to provide regulators with pre-accident driving data after a spiraling media backlash【抵制；反响】 due to its mishandling of a buyer’s protest at the Shanghai Auto Show.

HUGE ICEBERG IN SOUTH ATLANTIC ALL BUT DISAPPEARED再见了，网红冰山A-68One of the world’s largest icebergs【冰山】to ever break off an Antarctic Ice shelf,has all but disappeared after floating for 3 years in the South Atlantic. LeiShuran has more.世界最大冰山之一从南极冰架上脱落，在南大西洋上漂浮了3年之后最终解体。以下是雷树兰的报道。The huge iceberg, formerlylabeled A-68 had been moving north since it calved from Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf in 2017. Scientistswere initially concerned about risks to wildlife if the nearly 6,000 squaremeter iceberg ran aground near the island of South Georgia, but the oncemassive iceberg has melted and broken up into fragments【碎片】. The last major fragment measures justover 20 square kilometers. Researchers are now concerned about the impact offreshwater from the melting ice on animals and marine life【海洋生物】.这座巨大冰山代号A-68，自2017年从南极洲的拉森C冰架上脱离后一直在向北移动。最初科学家担心，如果这座近6000平方米的冰山在南乔治亚岛附近搁浅，会给野生动物带来危险，但这座曾经蔚为壮观的冰山现已融化并分裂成碎片。A-68最后一块碎块的长度仅略超20平方公里。而研究人员现在更关心的是冰融化产生的淡水对动物和海洋生物的影响。Professor GeraintTarling, British Antarctic Survey塔林，英国南极考察生态学家Just having aphysical obstacle like this in the waters around South Georgia, could present alot of problems for things like penguins and seals. When they’re trying to get out to their feedinggrounds, particularly at this time of year.（A68冰山）将会在南乔治亚岛附近水域中形成一道物理障碍，给当地的企鹅、海豹等生物造成困扰，阻碍它们前往育雏地进行育雏。South Georgia ishome to colonies of tens of thousands of penguins and 6 million fur seals,which could be threatened by the broken-up iceberg during their breedingseason【繁殖期】. The waters near the island are also oneof the world’s largest protected marine areas and are home more marine speciesthan the Galapagos Islands in the eastern Pacific Ocean.南乔治亚岛是数万只企鹅和600万只海豹的栖息地，而冰山碎裂可能会对它们的繁殖期产生影响。该岛附近海域也是世界上最大的海洋保护区之一，甚至比东太平洋的加拉帕戈斯群岛拥有更丰富的海洋物种。2. JAPAN TO LIMITROCKFISH SHIPMENTS FROM FUKUSHIMA超标！福岛黑鲉鱼禁止上市！The Japanesegovernment restricted shipments of black rockfish from Fukushima yesterday,after high levels of a radioactive substance【放射性物质】 was found in a sample. It is the firstsuch action taken by the government for fish caught near Fukushima in 14 months.Sun Siqi has more.因黑鲉鱼样本被检测出放射性物质超标，日本政府昨日宣布禁止福岛海域的黑鲉鱼上市。这是日本政府14个月来首次对福岛附近捕获的鱼类采取此项禁止措施。以下是孙思奇的报道。Japaneseauthorities say that tests run on a Black Rockfish sample last week showed 270becquerels of radioactive cesium per kilogram, more than 2 and-a-half times thecountry’s limit of 100 becquerels per kilogram infood. In fact, local fishermen found Rockfish with cesium levels over theacceptable limit in early February, but the government failed to impose anyrestrictions.This has again aroused local residents’ concerns over the dumpingof nuclear wastewater. They also criticized an animated video【动画片】 featuring radioactive tritium as mascot【吉祥物】. The video was removed from the Ministryfor Reconstruction’s website only one day after they were uploaded. MinsterKatsuei Hirasawa apologized for promoting the video.日本政府表示，在上周对黑鲉鱼样本进行的检测中发现，每公斤黑鲉鱼含有270贝克勒尔的放射性铯。此前，日本规定每公斤食品中放射性物质不得超过100贝克勒尔，而黑鲉鱼样本的放射性物质已超标2.5倍。事实上，当地渔民在2月初已发现了铯含量超标的黑鲉鱼，但当时政府没有实施任何举措。此次样本放射性物质超标再次引起了当地居民对倾倒核废水的担忧。民众还批评了以放射性氚为吉祥物的动画视频。该段视频在日本复兴厅官网上发布一天后最终下架。此后，日本复兴大臣平泽胜荣为氚吉祥物视频道歉。Katsuei Hirasawa,Japanese Reconstruction Minister平泽胜荣，日本复兴大臣I apologize tothose who are not happy about this, especially the victims in FukushimaPrefecture.对因此而感到不快的人，特别是福岛县受灾的民众表示歉意，真的非常抱歉。Despite protestsat home and abroad, the Japanese government is still planning to dump thewastewater. Starting next month, the Tokyo Electric Power Company will submit aplan detailing improved methods of handling nuclear materials to the NuclearRegulation Authority.尽管国内外抗议不断，但日本政府仍计划倾倒核废水。下个月，东京电力公司将向日本原子能管制委员会提交一份改进方案，以详细说明处理核废水的计划。3.

Our reporter Sun Siqi navigates the massive National Exhibition andConvention Center and brings us the details.阔别一年，上海车展再次回归。今年的上新的车款大多致力于提供舒适、轻松的驾驶体验和自动驾驶功能。记者孙思奇在国家会展中心，为我们带来现场报道。At this auto show, carmakers are introducing what they call a"sensorial【感觉的】 drivingexperience" -- basically, making driving not a pain on busy city roads.And here we have Cadillac’s new electric model LYRIQ, with enhanced SuperCruise function that is capable of doing lane change【变道】 for you even on busy city highways.在本届车展上，许多品牌提出“感官交互型驾驶体验”的概念，让城市道路驾驶不再烦心。凯迪拉克发布了最新款纯电车型LYRIQ，巡航系统升级，即使在城市拥挤的高架路上也能实现变道。The feature works on some expressways【高速公路】 like the middle and outer ring roads and most highwaysleaving the city. The automaker is mapping more roads, and the data can be downloadedto your car’s computer system.凯迪拉克的超级巡航驾驶系统适用于中环、外环高架路和大部分出城高速。更多路段导航也在规划之中，能够从车辆系统中直接下载道路数据信息。Interviewee: Felix Weller, Vice President of Cadillac受访者：菲利克·韦勒凯迪拉克中国区副总裁“So already now, we have around 300,000 kilometers worth of road mappingin China available, mostly of those are obviously in tier-one【一线的】cities, so Shanghai is pretty well coveredalready. Going forward with future generations of Super Cruise, we’ll then alsobe able to cover about 95 percent of all driving scenarios【方案；情景】that will include basicallydoor-to-door autonomous driving.”“截止至目前，我们的系统已经覆盖了国内30万公里的道路，大部分都集中在一线城市，上海的覆盖率比较高。随着SuperCruise超级巡航系统不断迭代升级，将来能够应对百分之九十五的驾驶情景，基本实现自动驾驶。”Onto sportscars.接下来再来看看跑车。After launching the EVs and E-hybrids, Porsche felt now is the time tobring some of the classic models in limited edition to the China market -- thisBoxster 25 is retailing at just under one million yuan right here, the amountis limited to 1,250 vehicles worldwide.保时捷在发布了纯电动与混合动力车型后，也瞄准时机，推出了经典车型的中国限量款。例如这次展出的Boxster 25周年纪念版，全球限量1,250台，制造商建议零售价不到一百万元。The resilience【弹性】of China’s marketafter the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed Porsche to also launch a 20thanniversary 911, which they are limiting to just 20 cars in China. A new 718Spyder model has been added to its permanent lineup【阵容；队伍】.疫情之下，中国汽车的市场弹性，促使保时捷发布了911Turbo S中国20周年纪念版，国内仅售20台。此外，718Spyder车型也正式发布。Interviewee: Jens Puttfarcken, President & CEO of Porsche China受访者：Jens Puttfarcken 保时捷中国区总裁兼首席执行官“As long as the pandemic is going on, Chinese population willconcentrate their consumption in China.

Japan has announced that it will release 1.25 million tons of treated wastewater contaminated by the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean. What influences will the nuclear waste water bring after it was discharged into the ocean? Is the "treated wastewater" as safe as the government claimed？Will Japan’s dump affect our lives? ICS NEWS Anchor, Chen Xuan spoke to Li Ji, oceanographer from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, to find out the potential impact on the environment and lives.

Welcome to MONEY TALKS! I’m Timothy Pope/ ICSNEWS ANCHOR.欢迎收听《财道》我是Timothy Pope/ICS主播。When people mention traditional Chineseclothing, the first thing that probably comes to mind is the Hanfu–the traditionalcostume clothing that has been a fad for Chinese young people. So what aboutthose who might want a bit of tradition in your daily dress? Well now that'savailable too, as Zhang Shixuan reports.说起中国传统服饰，最先想到的或许是汉服。近十年来，年轻人中掀起了“汉服热”，不过，汉服只有在特定的场合才适合穿着。但如果想要把传统元素融入日常搭配中，该怎么办呢？“新中式”服装来了！请听记者张诗璇报道。An apparel【服装】renaissance【文艺复兴】 hasbeen taking shape, with a growing army of the young looking to the past fortheir sartorial【衣着的】choices. They are actually willing to pay more for clothes featuringclassic fashion, but they are also looking for something that they can wear fortheir normal workdays.在国风服饰复兴的当下，越来越多的年轻人在穿衣选择上也想要“复古”一把，愿意花更高的价格购买传统元素的时装。同时，他们也希望能有一些适合工作场合的传统服装。Interviewee: Consumer of Chinese-styleclothes受访者：传统服饰消费者“I started getting interested intraditional clothes 10 years ago, and I like how Chinese culture has embraced internationaldesigns. I like clothes that cater Chinese tastes, I once spent 20,000 yuan onone outfit【整套服装】.”“我十年前开始喜欢传统服饰，喜欢中国文化的兼容并包。我希望衣服能够适合中国人的特点，我花过最多的一套有两万块。”“If I were 20 years old I would weartraditional clothes all day. But now, now I'm in my 30s, and I have to dressfor the occasion. So I hope that there will be some improvements on thetraditional models.”“如果我还是20多岁的小伙子，我会大胆穿，但现在30多岁了，还是要分场合来看。所以如果传统服饰能进行一定改良的话，我很愿意接受。”“I will buy them if they fit my style, andI like them. The best would based on Chinese elements and have some details ofwestern styles. I could pay several hundreds, or even more than 10,000 onsomething like that. I think it's great to wear Chinese-style clothes forimportant occasions.”“如果要是符合我的衣着风格和喜好，我就会买。最好是底色有中国元素，细节上学习西方的设计理念。花几百几千甚至上万我都可以。重要场合穿中式衣服确实很好。”So not surprising that a new brandspecifically targeting these young customers made its debut【首秀】at theongoing Shanghai Fashion Week.

JAPAN TO RELEASETREATED FUKUSHIMA WASTEWATER INTO SEACHINA URGESJAPAN TO ADDRESS NUCLEAR WASTEWATER CONCERNSNEWS ON 04/14Welcome to thisedition of ShanghaiLive, I’m He Jian, I’m Aixinjueluo Bei/ICS Anchor.欢迎收听今天的《直播上海》，我是何健，我是爱新觉罗·贝/ICS主播。Japan announcedtoday it will release more than 1 million tons of treated radioactive【放射性的】 water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant into thePacific Ocean in two years, an option fiercely opposed by the area’s residents.Here’s Sun Siqi with the story.日本今天宣布，将在两年内把福岛核电站失事后的100多万吨放射性废水排入太平洋，这一决定遭到当地居民强烈反对。以下是孙思奇带来的报道。Yoshihide Suga,Japanese Prime MinisterWe judged thatreleasing the treated water into the sea is possible, and came to an agreementon the basic measures.我们判断排放入海为可行方法，并将以此为基本方针。Tokyo ElectricPower Company plans to filter【过滤】 the water toremove isotopes, leaving only tritium, a radioactive isotope hydrogen that isdifficult to separate from water. The company will then dilute【稀释】 the liquid until tritium levels fall below regulatorylimits before pumping it into the ocean. Groups of protesters gathered outsidethe Prime Minister’s residence in Tokyo.东京电力公司计划过滤掉水中的其他同位素，只留下氚——一种很难从水中分离出来的放射性氢同位素。随后，该公司将稀释这些液体，直至氚含量符合监管标准，再将其排入海洋。成群结队的抗议者聚集在官邸外。It’s notpossible. There’ll be radioactive material however much you try to dilute it.How can you just throw radioactive water into the sea?稀释不了，没那个可能。不管怎么稀释，都会有辐射物质残留，怎么能把有辐射物质残存的废水排入大海呢？Our oppositionto this will not change just because the government made its decision. 我们反对排放入海的态度是不会放弃的，不会因为政府决定了，我们就放弃。SouthKorea summoned【召见】 Japan’s ambassador to Seoul to protestthe plan.Koo Yoon-cheol, S.Korea’s Office of Government Policy CoordinationThe decisionwill not only cause danger to the safety and maritime【海的】 environment of neighboring countries, it was alsomade unilaterally【单方面的】 without sufficient consultation withour country, which is Japan’s closest neighbor.这一行为给周边国家安全，和海洋环境带来威胁，这也是日方在没有与地理位置临近的韩国进行充分磋商和寻求理解的情况下，单方面做出的决定。The accumulating【堆积】 wastewater has been stored in tanks at the Fukushimaplant since 2011, when a massive earthquake damaged its reactors and coolingwater became contaminated【污染的】. The annualstorage costs are about 800 million US dollars and space is running out.Japanese authorities had considered other options, including building moretanks or evaporating the water. They considered pumping it into the ocean themost "realistic" option.自2011年大地震以来，福岛核电站反应堆遭到破坏，冷却水受到污染，这些废水一直被储存在福岛核电站的水箱中。水箱每年产生约8亿美元的存储成本，同时也面临水箱空间不足的问题。日本当局也考虑了其他处置方式，包括建造更多的水箱或将水蒸发。他们认为把核废水排入海洋是最“现实”的选择。China’s ForeignMinistry called Japan’s decision to release water from the Fukushima nuclearplant extremely irresponsible and urged Tokyo to respond to its concerns. ZhangNingben has the story.中国外交部表示，日本决定排放福岛核电站核废水的行为是极其不负责任的，并敦促日本有关方面对各方关切作出应有回应。Foreign Ministryspokesperson Zhao Lijian said the release will seriously damage internationalpublic health and the interests of people in neighboring countries.外交部发言人表示，核废水排海将严重损害国际公共健康安全和周边国家人民切身利益。Japan shouldre-evaluate its handling of wastewater, and refrain from wantonly dischargingit before reaching a consensus【一致】 with allstakeholders and the International Atomic Energy Agency.日本应重新审视福岛核电站核废水处置问题，在同各利益攸关国家和国际原子能机构充分协商并达成一致之前，不得擅自启动排海。China also urgedthe United States to address Japan’s decision based on facts when commenting onthe Biden administration’s recently declared stance【立场】 that Japan’s decision has been "transparent,"and "appears to have adopted an approach in accordance with globallyaccepted nuclear safety standards."Zhao Lijian,Spokesperson Ministry of Foreign Affairs of ChinaInternationalauthorities and experts have clearly pointed out that the discharge of tritiumcontaminated wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the oceanwill affect the marine environment and the public health of neighboringcountries. The existing treated wastewater contains other radio-nuclides andneeds to be further purified and treated. China hopes the US will evaluate thefacts. ZhangNingben, Shanghai Live.国际权威机构和专家明确指出，福岛核电站含氚废水排入海洋，将对周边国家海洋环境和公众健康造成影响。同时，现有经过处理的废水中，仍含有其他放射性核素，需进一步净化处理。美方向来重视环境问题，希望美方在真正的环境问题上，对事不对人，不要让这个重视被打上引号。记者张宁犇，直播上海。#热词加油站radioactive[ˌreɪdiəʊˈæktɪv]【放射性的】filter[ˈfɪltə(r)]【过滤】dilute[daɪˈluːt]【稀释】summoned[ˈsʌmən]【召见】maritime[ˈmærɪtaɪm]【海的】unilaterally【单方面的】accumulating[əˈkjuːmjəleɪt]【堆积】contaminated[kənˈtæmɪneɪtɪd]【污染的】consensus[kənˈsensəs]【一致】stance[stæns]【立场】

04/06 SHLIVE | Rising fees of shared power bank 电量告急，共享充电宝却“用不起”？ Welcome to this edition of Shanghai Live, I’m Wang Yin/ ICS Anchor.欢迎收听《直播上海》，我是王吟/ ICS主播。 What do you do if you’re outside and need to charge your phone? Look for a power bank【移动电源】, of course, one of the little cabinets that let anyone plug in - for a fee. And that’s the problem. The fees have been going up faster than you can say direct current ... and the resistance is increasing. Lei Shuran takes a closer look.如果在外面想要充电，怎么办？当然是找一个人人都能用的充电宝——不过，得花钱。那么问题来了：共享充电宝的租金正在不断上涨，也引起了怨声连连。请听记者雷舒然带来的报道。 Rental fees for the most common charger brands are now up to as much as 6 yuan per hour, compared to no more than 2 yuan last year. And the upper limit for long-time rentals has also sparked up, costing users much more when they borrow a charger and fail to return it on time. The surges【激增】are powering【推动】plenty of complaints.现在，国内最大的共享充电运营商租赁价格达到了每小时6元，而去年的价格不超过2元。如果借出后没有及时归还，这笔“长期租赁”的费用上限还会更高。租金上涨也引起了大家的诸多抱怨。 Interviewee: Power Bank User受访者：共享充电宝消费者“I borrowed a charger for 2 to 3 hours, and when I returned it I was charged 12 yuan. Before, it was only 1 yuan and now 12.”“我借了两三个小时，还的时候发现要收12块，但之前只要1块钱。” “I once spent 99 yuan for one rental. The hub from which I borrowed it was fully filled when I got there, so I couldn’t return mine.”“我最高一笔花了99块，因为当时没有还成，我借了之后就立马被塞满了。” Ninty percent of the domestic market is now occupied by just four power bank sharing providers. One of them has just debuted on the US Nasdaq market, opening at 10 US dollars per share and then jumping as much as 18 percent higher. That is Energy Monster, backed by Alibaba. The company’s IPO【Initial Public Offering 首次公开募股】filing says its net profit【净利润】 dropped from 8.24% in 2019 to 2.68% in 2020, however. It says that’s the result of a surge in distribution costs, which went up by more than 55% in 2020. And that, plus a collapse in usage last year, explains the price increases this year by all the power bank companies.现在，国内百分之九十的共享充电市场由四家运营商分摊。其中，背靠阿里的“怪兽充电”刚刚以10美元每股宣布在美国纳斯达克上市，市场份额飞速上升了18%。而怪兽充电首次公开募股文件显示，其2020年净利润从2019年的8.24%下降至2.68%。由于2020年的推广成本增加了55%，再加上去年的使用人数骤减，所有移动充电运营商都上调了价格。 Interviewee: Jiedian Power Bank Marketing Officer受访者：街电共享充电宝 市场部工作人员“We paid one year’s entry fee to shopping malls, but then came the pandemic and revenue【营收】 didn’t meet our expectations. So when going back this year we’ve raised our prices to make our money back.”“我们向商场付了一年的入驻费，后来受到疫情影响，营收没有达到预期。后来我们考虑到回收成本的问题，就把价格上调了。” Consulting firm Frost and Sullivan says that in the next 5 years, the compound annual growth rate of the power bank sharing business could reach over 20 percent. But the company says that depends on improving management and aligning【调整，校准】 industry standards ... and on the willingness of the customers to keep plugging in.沙利文咨询公司称，在未来五年，如果共享充电行业能够加强管理、调整产业标准，并且消费者有继续使用移动充电宝的意愿，那么整个产业的复合年增长率将会达到20%。 #热词加油站power bank【移动电源】surges【激增】power【推动】IPO【Initial Public Offering 首次公开募股】net profit【净利润】revenue【营收】align【调整，校准】

The blockage【堵塞】is estimated to have cost global tradealmost 10 billion US dollars aday, as the canal handles nearly 12 percent of theworld's trade. Companies inShanghai are also suffering from the results andtrying to figure out how todeal with them. Ying Junyi has more.苏伊士运河封锁近一周后，搁浅巨轮终于摆正，航道恢复畅通。由于苏伊士运河处理全球12%的国际贸易运输，这次封锁预计每天造成全球贸易近100亿美元的损失。一些上海企业也受到了影响，正在尽力寻求应对方法。Have you checked the status【状况】of the one that left for Genoa this morning?I've asked the shippingcompany, but haven't got a reply yet.早上那个船，你帮我查过没有啊，到热那亚的？我已经去问船公司了，还没有回复。First thing in the morning, foreign tradehandler Yuanyuan is busy contactingfreight forwarding agents. He was responsiblefor a shipment ofchemical materials from Shanghai to Genoa, Italy, but due tothe canal blockage, hecouldn't get an update on its status.一大早，外贸业务经理苑苑的第一件事就是忙着联系货运代理。他负责从上海到意大利热那亚的化工材料运输，但由于运河堵塞，他无法获取船运的最新情况。Yuan Yuan/ Export Business Manager苑苑 外贸业务经理The cargo left Shanghai on March 10. Itshould have passed through the canal. If not, it must have been stuck there.这个货是3月10日发出的，这个时间应该已经经过那里了。如果是没有经过的话，那就可能真的是堵在那边了。Due to the delays in shipments, manypurchasing agents have canceled theirorders.由于船运延误，许多采购商纷纷取消了订单。Yuan Yuan/ Export Business Manager苑苑外贸业务经理If they place an order no shipping companycould deal with it if the ship needs topass through Suez canal.现在他们如果给我们下订单的话，也没有船公司肯接。现在船公司也是处在停滞状态，如果是要走苏伊士运河这条航线的话。Chinese importers have also been affected,especially those waiting for thedelivery of fresh products.中国进口商也受到影响，尤其是那些等待生鲜食品交付的进口商。Chai Chenyun/ Export Business Manager柴琛赟外贸业务经理Good just aren't arriving in time. What weneed to do is to follow up andcoordinate【协调】withthe foreign suppliers to see if we can re-route the ships.后续肯定会有一些“空窗期”，就是有一段时间，可能货物没办法及时到港。我们能做的就是及时去了解它，及时跟国外的供应商沟通，看后续是不是货物就不走那条航线，改运其它的航线。Experts say the Suez blockage has led tocontainer shortages, port congestion【堵塞】andcapacity constraints. That all means a rise in shipping costs for theforeigntrade industry is inevitable.专家表示，苏伊士运河堵塞导致集装箱短缺、港口拥堵和运力受限。而这些都意味着——外贸行业运输成本的上升是难以避免的。Song Yu/ Deputy General Manager,Shanghai Foreign Trade, Orient International宋玉东方国际集团上海市对外贸易有限公司副总经理If the ship is waiting at the Suez canal,there will be increased charter costs. If theships are re-routed around theCape of Good Hope, there will be an increase inthe cost of fuel and a delay indeliveries. The costs in time are also inevitable. Wehave been trying to hedge【避免】our risks for the payments and contract performanceterms.如果是等在苏伊士运河，等待它疏浚的情况的话，每一天都会产生一个租船的成本。如果是统行好望角，航运过程当中的燃料成本，包括时间成本，也是无法避免的。但是除了交通成本增加之外，其它方面的影响我觉得还是可控的。比如合同方面，应该是不会有太大风险，包括付款方面。我们的一些金融工具也考虑到这种情况，这个风险是完全可以覆盖的。The giant container ship is now on its way,but it could take another ten days toclear the backlog at Suez, and even longerto straighten out the missed deliveriesand the payments involved with them.这艘搁浅巨轮现已恢复至正常航道。而未来，还需要大约10天甚至更长时间来完成积压货物的清理工作以及滞后的交货和付款工作。 #热词加油站Suez Canal【苏伊士运河】container [kənˈteɪnə(r)]【集装箱】blockage [ˈblɒkɪdʒ]【堵塞】status [ˈsteɪtəs]【状况】coordinate [kəʊˈɔːdɪneɪt]【协调】congestion [kənˈdʒestʃən]【堵塞】hedge [hedʒ]【避免】

03/26 MoneyTalks | Pokemon’s Long-lastingPopularity 这是全世界最赚钱的IP！Welcome to MoneyTalks, I’m WangLihuan/ ICSAnchor.欢迎收听今天的《直播上海》，我是王黎欢/ICS主播。Have you caught them all yet? Pikachu andhis pals from the Japanese video game series Pokemon, have just celebratedtheir 25th birthday. The virtual buddies are a global phenomenon, and the brandis now the world's most valuable media franchise. Ying Junyi has more.你捕获到所有的宝可梦了吗？皮卡丘和其余《宝可梦》中的精灵小伙伴们刚刚庆祝了他们的25岁生日。虚拟宠物是一个全球性的浪潮，而如今，宝可梦已成为世界上最具价值的IP。It'sprobably not much of an exaggeration to say that almost everyone on the planetknows what Pokemon is. According to researcherStatista, people have spent an estimated 100 billion dollars on the Japanese franchise【一个品牌的各种衍生商品和服务的总称】 since its debut【首次亮相】 in 1996-- making it the most lucrative【获利多的】 mediafranchise in the world. If you're counting in terms of money spent, Pokemon ismore popular than Hello Kitty, Winnie the Pooh, Star Wars, and even MickeyMouse. 毫不夸张地说，每一个人都知道宝可梦。统计机构Statista称，自1996年日本的宝可梦系列游戏首次亮相以来，人们已经在宝可梦上花费了约1000亿美元，这也使得宝可梦成为了世界上最吸金的IP。如果以消费者花费作为计算标准，宝可梦的受欢迎程度甚至超过Hello Kitty、小熊维尼、米老鼠和《星球大战》。How did Pokemon become such a big andrecognizable brand? Well, the diversity and design of the little creatures ishardly an accident. Experts say they're the reason Pokemon has become sopopular with people around the world.宝可梦是如何成为影响如此浩大的知名IP的呢？这些极具多样性和设计感的小精灵的出现绝非偶然。专家表示，这些小精灵是宝可梦这一IP在世界各地如此受欢迎的原因。Wang Chongchang, Research Manager//iResearch受访者：王先生，调研经理//iResearchPeople at different age groups and withdifferent cultural backgrounds, can all accept the Pokemon games and storylines. Its character designs also appeal to many different people's perceptions【见解】ofwhat is cute. There are plenty of high-quality games like Pokemon, but they allhave strong geographic or cultural elements which means they do not havePokemon's universal appeal.  受众的年龄段、文化地域对于宝可梦来说都没有很大的限制，各地的人们都能接受宝可梦的故事情节以及玩法，特别是它的角色设计，能兼顾各个群体的审美。其实和宝可梦同时代也诞生了很多优秀的游戏，比如恶魔城。但这些游戏都有比较强的地域特色或者时代特色，所以在走向世界这方面，这些限制都不助于他们像宝可梦这样强势。Like other top-grossing media franchises,Pokemon has made its money on merchandising【销售】,license deals and retail sales. Socks, stationary【文具】,shoes -- you can find Pikachu on everything. For a while there was even aPokemon airline, run by All Nippon Airways.与其他吸金的IP一样，宝可梦也通过销售、授权和零售来赚钱。袜子，文具，鞋子——皮卡丘总能出现在所有物品上。此前，全日空航空公司甚至推出了一架宝可梦涂装飞机。Interviewee: Wang Liangji, PTCG Player受访者：王先生宝可梦玩家A lot of the money Pokemon has made comesfrom its trading card game. PTCG is now one of the most popular trading cardgames in the world. A 1999 US first edition of the set recently sold for some400 thousand dollars at auction. Long-time player Wang Liangji attributesPTCG's success to its character design as well as to the Pokemon Company'smarketing strategy.宝可梦的集换式卡牌游戏成为公司的“吸金王”产品，也是现在世界上最流行的卡牌游戏之一。1999年第一版的全套卡牌以40万美元的价格拍卖。老玩家王先生认为，宝可梦卡牌游戏的成功之处在于其角色设定和公司的市场战略。“I've attended official PTCG competitionsin Japan, and unlike other trading card competitions, you see many parents andtheir children playing the game together. In the past few years, the game hasbeen targeting【面向】the middle-aged as consumers, encouraging them to communicate withtheir kids via PTCG. And it worked.”“我也去国外参加过官方的比赛。不像其他TCG比赛，宝可梦TCG会有很多家长带着小孩一起来参加，因为前两年的广告就是发展中年玩家群体，让家长通过这个游戏和孩子进行沟通，反响非常好。”Interviewee: Wu Huaigu, Director OuqisheBoard Game Studio受访者：吴先生桌游社老板ThePokemon Company is also entering the Chinese market now. Its video games aswell as the card game have all launched official Chinese versions, which willallow Chinese Pokemon fans to attend all the global Pokemon games. “宝可梦公司也正在开发中国市场。掌机和卡牌游戏均发布了官方中文版本，让国内的玩家们也能参与到国际上的游戏交流之中。”That might be true. Pokemon Shanghai wasestablished last July, and has now announced a partnership with Tencent toco-develop an official Pokemon mobile game. Pokemon has just announced plans tolaunch three new Pokemon video games, all with official Chinese versions.  You just never know where they'll turn up next.  宝可梦上海分公司于去年七月成立，刚刚与腾讯官宣合作，共同研发正版授权手游。宝可梦也公布了三款新游戏的开发计划，均有官方中文版本。或许未来，宝可梦还会拓展其他领域，给我们带来惊喜。 #热词加油站franchise[ˈfræntʃaɪz]【一个品牌的各种衍生商品和服务的总称】debut [ˈdeɪbjuː]【首次亮相】lucrative [ˈluːkrətɪv]【获利多的】perception [pəˈsepʃn]【见解】merchandise [ˈmɜːtʃəndaɪz]【销售】stationary [ˈsteɪʃənri]【文具】target [ˈtɑːɡɪt]【面向】

Essentially, they buy the film from producers for a lump sum【一次性支付】, and then keep all the box office receipts for themselves. The alternative【可供选择的事物】 is for distributors to pay a small fee up front and then split the box office receipts with the film's production company. Hi, Mom’s producers sold their rights in the film for 1.5 billion Yuan, which would leave the distributors with a very tidy share of those box office receipts. It all comes down to the fact that movie finance in China is becoming more conservative these days.在保底发行中，发行方支付一笔固定数额，获得电影的放映权。一种是发行方从制作方处以全额支付买下电影，并将获得保底票房之外的全部超额收益。另一种方式是发行方支付较少的数额，在保底票房的基础上，高出的票房由制作方和发行方按一定比例分账。《你好，李焕英》的制作方将发行权以15亿元卖出，这意味着发行方将会拿到数额不菲的票房收入。归根结底，近年来，国内的电影金融业更加趋于保守。 Interviewee: Max Yang, Film Producer受访者：杨先生 电影制作人Generally, the industry has been less busy or has been cooling off compared to early years. And people spend less money in making a movie. So I'm talking about budget cut. A couple of years ago people kind of feel natural about a movie, easily passing 1 billion benchmark【基准】in about a week or so. But now, some movies will even having problems passing 100 million. So people are not that taking things for granted. And I think people understand the reality better.“总体来说，电影业相比往年的热度有所减退，对于电影制作的投资也在减少，所以我要说的是预算缩减的问题。几年前，大家都觉得一部电影在一周内达到十亿的基准票房是很正常、很简单的。但现在，许多电影想要超过一亿都有难度，所以人们不再那么想当然了。我想，大家对现实情况也看得更清楚了。” Yang says this trend will help the film production industry consolidate the position of core players, and so maintain healthy growth. Just Monday, Huanxi Media Group said it has acquired exclusive China distribution rights to the sports drama film for a minimum guarantee of around 600 million Yuan. The producers’ costs in making the film were 300 million, which leaves them with a profit - and Huanxi with the hope the film will do much better than its 600 million-yuan bet.杨先生认为，这样的趋势能够巩固主要电影从业者的地位，确保整个产业良性发展。就在周一，欢喜传媒集团宣布获得一部体育传记类电影的国内发行权，保底发行费用为六亿。这部电影的制作成本为三亿元，也能给制作方带来一定利润，而欢喜集团方面表示，希望这部电影能够超过预期的六亿票房。 #热词加油站bitter-sweet comedy【悲喜剧】consecutive【连续的】distributors【发行方】affiliates【附属；分会】lump sum【一次性支付】

NEWS ON 3/15Strongest sandstorm in decade ENGULFS NORTHERN IN CHINAMany regions in northern China including Beijing experienced a sand-storm today. According to the National Meteorological Center【国家气象中心】, the sand-storm is the strongest and most wide-spread storm in nearly a decade. Meteorologists say the sand-storm originated from southern part of Mongolia, where at least six people were killed over the weekend. Sun Siqi has the story.今日，包括北京在内的北方多地出现沙尘天气。根据国家气象中心，本次沙尘天气是近十年来最强、范围最广的一次。气象学家称，本次沙尘暴自蒙古国南部而来，上周末已造成蒙古国内至少六人死亡。Interviewee: Li Liang, Weather Analyst of China Meteorological Administration受访者：李靓中国天气网气象分析师“The storm originated in southern Mongolia. The area is under unusually high temperatures, that leads to deserts thawing【融化】earlier. As strong winds pass over these deserts at the border of China and Mongolia, they churn up【搅动】 the sand and dust, and send it south.”“此次的沙尘源地主要是蒙古国的南部。由于近期蒙古的气温是异常偏高的，因此沙源地在不断解冻。大风经过中蒙边界的沙源地时吹起了沙尘，向下游输送。”The cloud of dust arrived at northwestern Hebei Province last night before moving toward Beijing. The sandstorm swept across Beijing this morning, turning the sky yellow. At 10 am, average concentration of hazardous airborne【空气中的】particles【颗粒】 PM10 exceeded 5,000 micrograms per cubic meter, with some areas registering more than 9,000. Air quality levels read "hazardous".沙尘风暴于昨夜先到达河北省西北部，并向北京移动。今天早晨，沙尘席卷了北京，天空也变成了黄色。上午十点，有害的可吸入颗粒物PM10平均浓度超过了每立方米5000微克，一些地区更是达到了9000微克每立方米，空气质量指数“爆表”。Interviewee: A Beijing Citizen受访者：北京市民“It smells like soil in the air, my eyes hurt.”就是那种沙土的味道，眼睛会有点不舒服。Visibility【能见度】 was lower than 1,000 meters in most parts of Beijing during the day.

NEWS ON ）03/11Scientists Discover Workings of Double-Layer Immune Response In Plant科学家重要新发现：植物双层免疫系统可协同御敌Welcome to this edition of ShanghaiLive, I'm Chen Xuan / ICS Anchor.欢迎收听今天的《直播上海》，我是陈璇 / ICS 主播  Scientists from a Shanghai institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences today published a study in the leading journal "Nature", revealing how plants defend against diseases with two layers of immune 【免疫】responses, and how the two mechanisms 【机制】 enhance each other. The findings can shed light upon【揭示】 cultivating stronger crops in the future. Here's Sun Siqi with the details.《自然》（Nature）发表了中国科学院上海研究所研究员辛秀芳团队的研究论文，该研究揭示了植物两大免疫系统在功能上协作及交互作用的机制，研究结果为未来培育强力作物提供了新的视角。请听记者孙思琦带来的报道。Like the game Plants vs. Zombies, inside a plant its cells are silently fending off 【抵御】attacks from bacteria【细菌】 and fungus【真菌】.就像在游戏《植物大战僵尸》里那样，植物细胞也静静地抵抗着细菌和真菌。It's been known that most plants have two layers of defense known as PTI and ETI. When bacteria attack, PTI first comes into action after the plant recognizes the pathogen's 【病原体】 molecular 【分子】 pattern. ETI is later triggered by the plant's receptor proteins that read the toxic proteins the pathogen generates. The two responses were previously thought to act independently.我们知道，大多数植物拥有两层免疫系统：PTI和ETI。细菌来袭时，植物识别到病原体的分子模式， PTI随即发生反应。接着，植物的受体蛋白读取由病原体产生的毒性蛋白，并触发ETI反应。在先前的研究中，这两种反应均被认为是独立进行的。 Professor Xin Xiufang and her team discovered that in an arabidopsis【拟南芥】 plant, a genus 【属】 that includes cabbage and mustard, layer one is able to strengthen the action of layer two, which then increases the level of signaling components that trigger layer one. In other words, they're dependent on each other to achieve the strongest defense.辛秀芳教授课题组发现在拟南芥属植物（如卷心菜和芥菜）中，第一层免疫（PTI）能够强化第二层免疫（ETI）的免疫作用，而ETI也能够上调PTI中一些重要的信号成分转录与蛋白水平。也就是说，二者相互依存，共同构成了最强防御。 Interviewee: Professor Xin Xiufang, Chinese Academy of Sciences Shanghai Branch辛秀芳 教授 / 中国科学院上海研究所“PTI comes into action first, but it can be inhibited 【抑制】 by toxic proteins from the bacteria. Then the second layer, the ETI, is triggered when plant cells recognize the toxic proteins. In our research, we found that as PTI activity peaks and wanes【衰退】, ETI kicks in 【进入】 and pushes PTI back to its peak. The two layers act like in a circle, enhancing each other.”“PTI最先反应，但可能会被细菌中的毒性蛋白阻止。而第二道防御，即ETI在植物细胞识别到毒性蛋白时开始反应。我们的研究发现，在PTI免疫进程中，ETI也会加入其中，并在PTI免疫效果减退时为它助力。两道防御形成了一个循环，彼此相互增强。” Further research is required to determine whether the same mechanism exists in other plant species. If verified, scientists may be able to develop crop strains 【菌株；种】 that are more resistant to diseases.为了确定在其他种类的植物中是否也存在同样的机制，需要进行更深入的研究。如果能够确认这种机制是广泛存在的，科学家们便有可能培育出更具抗病性的植物。 Most existing disease-resistant crops were developed by enhancing their ETI. Now, scientists may have more strategies to increase plant resistance -- there're more genes that we can target to enhance both PTI and ETI levels.目前的大多数抗病性作物是通过提高ETI水平培育出来的。而现在，由于获得了更多用以提高PTI和ETI水平的目标基因组，科学家们也有更多办法来提升植物抗病性。 This can be achieved through either cross-breeding 【杂交】 or genetic engineering【基因工程】. The findings may contribute to food supply safety as climate change has been shown to lead to wider dispersal 【分散】of some plant sickening pathogens.通过杂交或基因工程，能够获得更多植物基因组数据。天气变化会扩散植物病原体的传播，而本研究的结果有利于食物供应安全。 #热词加油站shed light upon【揭示】fend off 【抵御】bacteria【细菌】fungus【真菌】inhibited 【抑制】 kicks in 【进入，破门而入】wanes【衰退】dispersal 【分散】genetic engineering【基因工程】cross-breeding 【杂交】

Reporter Zhang Hong takes a look.最近，英国科学周刊《自然》刊登了来自复旦大学研究团队最新研究成果——他们研发出了一种可以作为显示屏的纺织品。请听记者张弘带来的报道。 In author Liu Cixin's "Three Body Problem", people in 2211 wear clothes that glow with patterns and colors changing according to their mood. This futuristic clothing is becoming possible with "large-area display textiles" developed by a research team from Fudan University. It all began with an illuminating【发光的】thread.科幻作家刘慈欣在著作”三体”中提出:到 2211年，人们所穿着的衣服将会随着心情的变化而呈现不同的图案和颜色。2021年，来自复旦大学的研究团队所开发的“大面积显示纺织品”使这种充满未来感的服饰成为可能。而这一切都是从一条发光的细线开始的。 Interview：Shi Xiang, Primary Author / Doctoral Student, Fudan University施翔 论文第一作者 复旦大学高分子科学系博士研究生It's a conductive 【导电的】thread with a smooth electroluminescent 【电致发光的】 coating. It looks and feels like regular yarn. It's firm. As you can see, it can still illuminate steadily after being sewn onto thick leather. It is also machine washable.它其实是一根导电的线，外面负载了一些发光材料。它与我们普通纺织用的线非常相似，它耐洗涤，也很牢固，编制在这么一个很厚的皮革上面它也是可以很稳定地发光的。 Brightness between EL units deviates by less than 8% and remains stable even when bent, stretched or pressed, which means the image on the textile remains clear.电质发光单元之间的亮度偏差小于8%，即使弯曲、拉伸或按压也保持稳定，这意味着织物上的图像能够保持清晰。 Interview：Peng Huisheng, Corresponding Author / Macromolecular Science Dept., Fudan University彭慧胜 论文通讯作者 复旦大学高分子科学系教授We can now produce a textile that is over 10-meters long. It is machine washable and can work for 1,000 to 2,000 hours.我们织物目前可以做到十几米长。我们可以放到洗衣机里去洗，反复弯折，都没有问题，且可以稳定工作一两千个小时。 This method of weaving can be used to include other electronic functions such as a keyboard and power supply【电源】into the textile, thus allowing the team to build a "multifunctional integrated 【综合的】textile system" for various applications, including checking and replying to messages, and navigation when you're riding a bike and you cannot hold your phone. Professor Peng said he believes display textiles will be an integral part of smart garments【衣服】 in the future.这种编织方法可以将键盘和电源等其他电子功能融入到纺织品中，从而使团队能够为各种应用构建一个“多功能集成纺织品系统”；包括当你骑自行车不能握着手机时，可以通过智能织物查看、回复信息以及使用导航功能。彭教授说，他相信显示纺织品将成为未来智能服装不可或缺的一部分。 Interview：Peng Huisheng, Corresponding Author / Macromolecular Science Dept., Fudan University彭慧胜 论文通讯作者 复旦大学高分子科学系教授Almost all electronic products need a screen, so do smart garments. It would be difficult for people to use without a screen. Our textile can serve as a screen on a smart garment. We can put sensors into a smart garment that can measure various body indexes and send the information to your doctor. In the future, it may save us the trouble of going to the hospital for a check-up.做任何的电子产品都离不开屏幕显示，智能织物做好了很多功能就都有了，没有显示就很难真的用起来，所以它是必不可少的。我们可以做传感，把体内的指标采集出来，把你的健康情况传输到医生那里。我们提出一个梦想，把医院带回家。 Some people said they would love to try it if available.有些人说，如果有机会的话，他们很乐意尝试一下这款智能织物。 Interview：CitizenWe need to take out our phone from our pocket to check information and sometimes it's inconvenient. But with this textile display, you can easily check your messages on your sleeve 【袖子】and it's much lighter than a phone.现在大家都有手机，你需要看消息还需拿出来，有时候挺麻烦的，但是有这种柔性织物的话就很方便，也不会有什么负担，就贴在你身上，很方便。 Interview：CitizenIt seems really cool to display words and pictures on your clothes. They would definitely make an awesome daily outfit.在衣服上显示一些你想展示的东西，我觉得挺酷的，而且你还可以个性化搭配这些衣服。 A member of the research team said they've already received interest from various companies for products ranging from voice box covers and automotive【汽车的】 interiors to home decorations and high-end【高档的】 couture【时装】clothing.该研究小组的一名成员表示，已经有多家公司对他们的可穿戴电子织物表现出了兴趣，而这些公司的产品包括音箱盖、汽车内饰、家居装饰和高端时装等。#热词加油站Textile [ˈtekstaɪl]【纺织品】Illuminating illuminating【发光的】Conductive [kənˈdʌktɪv]【导电的】electroluminescent 【电致发光的】power supply【电源】integrated [ˈɪntɪɡreɪtɪd]【综合的】garment [ˈɡɑːmənt]【衣服】sleeve [sliːv]【袖子】automotive [ˌɔːtəˈməʊtɪv]【汽车的】high-end [ˌhaɪ ˈend]【高档的】couture [kuˈtjʊə(r)]【时装】

NEWS ON 3/10Welcome to this edition of ShanghaiLive,I'm He Jian.欢迎收听今天的《直播上海》我是何健 / ICS主播At the ongoing national legislative session, the vice governor of Minhang District, lawmaker【人大代表】Liu Yan, is making another suggestion after years of persistence on the improvements for children with autism【孤独症】. Reporter Sun Siqi takes a look at what she is proposing this year.In a southwestern suburb of Shanghai, children with autism are learning at Qibao Experimental Primary School. They’re not separated from other children and many have made friends who help and take care of them. A boy with autism told us he likes his friends and teachers, and they are good to him. In Shanghai, children with mild to moderate autism are able to go to a regular school, and this has helped their development.在上海西南郊区的七宝实验小学，孤独症儿童正在学习。他们没有和其他孩子分开，许多人还与帮助和照顾他们的同学结成好朋友。一个患有孤独症的男孩告诉我们，他喜欢他的朋友和老师，他们对他很好。在上海，轻度到中度孤独症的儿童可以去正规学校上学，这有助于他们的成长发展。Wang Jin, PrincipalQibao Experimental Primary School王瑾 / 上海市七宝实验小学校长You can see that when autistic kids came in at first grade, they had weak communication skills and could barely control or take care of themselves. But by grades three and four, there's a noticeable difference. They follow a teacher's instructions, talk to classmates and express their like for others.你可以看到，当孤独症儿童在一年级时，他们的沟通能力很弱，几乎不能控制或照顾自己。但是到了三四年级，情况就有明显的不同了。他们会听从老师的指示，与同学交谈，并表达自己对他人的喜爱。 Liu Yan, LawmakerVice Governor of Minhang District GovernmentEarly intervention【早期干预】 is crucial for children with autism. At the moment, the most effective treatment is social interaction【社交互动】 to help them approach the world.早期干预对孤独症儿童至关重要。目前，最有效的治疗方法是通过社会互动来帮助他们接近这个世界。 In 2018, lawmaker Liu Yan submitted a suggestion for more children with autism to be enrolled in regular schools. Back then, fewer than 20 percent of them across the country sat in the same classroom as regular kids. As the situation improves, difficulties exist like hiring medical professionals to instruct teachers. Plus, additional facilities can cost a school hundreds of thousands of yuan a year.2018年，刘艳提交了关于让让更多孤独症儿童进入普通学校就读的议案。当时，全国只有不到20%的孤独症儿童能拥有和普通孩子一起上学的机会。近年情况不断改善，但一些困难也逐渐浮现出来，比如教师需要治疗师的专业指导。此外，添置各种额外设施也是一大笔费用。 Chen Jin, Special Education OfficialMinhang District Education BureauWe also need more teachers with a background in special education【特殊教育】. We've been trying to train such teachers with the help of East China Normal University and the city, but we still need help.我们还需要更多有特殊教育背景的教师。在华东师范大学和市里的帮助下，我们一直在努力培养这样的教师，但我们仍然需要更多的帮助。 Liu notes thee problems in her draft suggestion, but she’s also mulling【长时期思考】over another question: where will these students go after nine years of mandatory education. She found that 60 percent of such children end up at home again after middle school, relying on their parents for the rest of their lives.这些问题，刘艳在她的议案中都关注到了。但她还在不断思考另一个问题: 完成九年义务教育后，这些孩子的去处在哪里? 她发现，有六成孩子在中学毕业后只能回家，依靠父母度过余生。 Liu Yan, LawmakerVice Governor of Minhang District Government For children who still can't take care of themselves there needs to be separate daycare facilities. At the moment, they are not accepted by either orphanages【孤儿院】, nursing homes or mental health facilities. For those who can take care for themselves and work, there needs to be vocational schools【职业中等专业学校】 or even vocational colleges【职业高等专业院校】to admit them. There needs to be government-level action on this.对于那些仍然不能照顾自己的孩子，需要有单独的日托机构。目前，孤儿院、疗养院或精神卫生机构都不愿意接受他们。对于那些既能照顾自己又能工作的人，就需要中等职业教育学校甚至高等职业学院来接纳他们，政府需要对此采取相应的行动。 Many families with an autistic child have one parent taking care of them full time. The burden【负担】only increases as the child ages. Liu maintains that sorting out where-to-go will greatly relieve the stress on such families. And for the kids, it will prevent them from becoming overly isolated once again.在孤独症家庭，父母其中一人全职照顾孩子的情况并不少见。患儿家长的负担随着孩子年龄的增长而加重。刘艳坚持认为，解决孩子们的去向问题将大大减轻这些家庭的压力。对孩子们来说，这也将防止他们再次被边缘化。 #热词加油站lawmaker [ˈlɔːmeɪkə(r)] n. 人大代表autism [ˈɔːtɪzəm] n. 孤独症mull [mʌl]] v. 长时期思考special education特殊教育burden [ˈbɜːdn] n. 负担

Watching short videos for entertainment or study has become common in China, especially during the thriving online economy brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak. But making a good short video is a complicated skill in itself, and Zhang Shixuan has been investigating and talking to some of people who are making a business of it.Making a good short video requires knowledge of the subject, as well as training in video creation and editing. That's what the Shanghai-based short video studio, Ahead Four, boasts【拥有（引以为傲）】, with its more than 10 short video producers.

Welcome to this edition of ShanghaiLive, I'm Aixinjueluo Bei.欢迎收听《直播上海》，我是爱新觉罗·贝 / ICS AnchorA community in Pudong is installing elevators in its old residential buildings after agreeing to pay a monthly fee【月供】instead of making a lump sum payment【一次性付款】, thus overcoming a major obstacle that is all too common around the city. 日前，浦东某社区的老住宅楼里安装了电梯，不同的是，这次工程采用的是每月分期付费的方式，这一模式解决了加装电梯最大的痛点——一次性出资难。 Workers started to install elevators in two buildings at Weifang No. 9 Village in Pudong this morning. The community was built in the 1980s. Seniors living there have long wanted an elevator.

I live on the 4th floor and will pay only 180 yuan each month. It's totally affordable.住6楼的每月交250元。我住在4楼，每月只付180元。这完全是负担得起的。 杨福成 / 潍坊新村街道People hesitated when one large sum was required for installation, but residents are more willing to pay for it when it's spread out【分散的】over time.使老百姓从一次出大钱，变成分散出小钱，这样老百姓更出得起，而且愿意出。 The community's managers have signed a 15-year insurance policy that covers the life cycle【使用寿命】of the elevators. The insurance fee is included in the monthly payment and also covers a daily maintenance【日常维护】.该小区的管理者已经签署了一份15年的保险，涵盖了电梯的整个使用生命周期。保险费和电梯的日常的维护费用都包含在居民的月供中。Gan Yuli, Deputy GMChina Pacific Insurance SH BranchThe residents will only need to think about the monthly payment and won't have a big burden to worry about.居民只需要考虑月供，就不会有太大负担。 Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy will monitor the elevators in real time【实时地】. Residents can report malfunctions【故障】.

EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENT LEVELUP FOR PROPERTY AGENTS IN CHINAWelcome to MoneyTalks, I'm Wang Lihuan / ICS Anchor.欢迎收听《财道》，我是王黎欢 / ICS主播In Shanghai now more than 60 percent of property agents hold at least a bachelor's degree, some of them even with overseas educational backgrounds. It turns out they need the education to deal with increasingly sophisticated buyers. Chen Tong takes a closer look.在上海，超过60%的房地产经纪人至少拥有学士学位，其中一些人甚至有海外教育背景。事实证明，受过良好教育的房产经纪人，更有能为服务成熟买家。请听记者陈彤发回的报道。 Zhang Haoran specializes in【专门从事】 selling apartments to foreigners...and that's when his educational background comes to the fore. Zhang received his master degree in IT from a college in the UK, but then decided to become a property agent【房地产经纪人】 in Shanghai.Zhang Haoran负责对接外籍客户，教育背景的优势在此时凸显出来。他毕业于英国的一所大学，并取得了计算机专业硕士学位。但后来他决定回到上海做一名房地产经纪人。Zhang Haoran, Property Agent Shanghai LianjiaAlthough my major is not perfectly or precisely matched with this industry. The logical thinking and the way of solving the problem do help me get used to my career now.虽然我的专业与这个行业不是完全对口的，但它的逻辑思维和解决问题的方式的确让帮助我适应了现在的职业。The company says it started to raise the academic threshold【学历门槛】 for its sales staff in 2015. Nationwide, some 47 percent of its agents now hold a bachelor's degree, nearly ten percentage points more than in 2015. And in large cities like Beijing and Shanghai where buyers are more are more sophisticated, most agents are required to have a bachelor's degree.房产经纪公司表示，销售人员的学历门槛从2015年起提高。在全国范围内，公司旗下约47%的房产经纪人拥有学士学位，比2015年高出近10个百分点。在北京和上海这样的大城市，买家更多也更成熟，大多数经纪人都被要求拥有学士学位。Lan Xin, HR General Manager Shanghai Lianjia过去经纪人定位为房产销售，我们希望将来是属于顾问型经纪人。目前我们的全国教育体系非常专业对口的相对还是少的，我们更加看重今天来了之后学习能力是否强。In the past, we considered property agents to be property sellers, but we hope they can become professional consultants【顾问】 in the future. There are not many majors relevant to this in our educational system, so we look for agents with a real ability to learn.And of course in a mega city like Shanghai, there is plenty of room for sales staff with a wide variety of backgrounds. Chen Tao graduated with a degree in art, and perhaps surprisingly, he became a property agent last year. Chen lives in Shanghai's downtown districts【市中心区】, however, surrounded by all types of classic buildings and villas【别墅】. That makes him very professional when it comes to introducing apartments with interesting histories.当然，在上海这样的大城市，有足够的市场空间容纳各种背景的销售人员。陈涛毕业时取得了艺术学位，但令人惊讶的是，他去年成为了一名房地产经纪人。他住在上海的市中心，周边围绕着各种经典建筑和别墅，这让他在销售那些有历史背景的房产时，更加游刃有余。Chen Tao, Property Agent Ming Ming Real Estate历史的话有些著名的比如保护建筑介绍的这些都是了解的，这肯定也是要介绍的老房子里面的故事本来也是卖点之一。I know about the famous buildings and their history. I introduce them to my clients because the stories behind the old buildings are a good selling point【卖点】.Le Lijun, Senior Consultant Ming Ming Real Estate我们从事这个中介行业里面有博士生、研究生，大学生非常常见的。如果他刚刚从业，会有专业的老师带他看一些老房子，走一些知名的马路，了解房子跟房子里面的故事，包括每条马路的知名建筑和老洋房。Our academic requirement is at least junior college level, but we also have PhD students, and graduate and undergraduate college students. We have teachers introduce the history of the buildings to new agents.A survey from property search engine Ke.com shows nearly 50 percent of property agents spent an hour a day studying property-related information last year, and 27 percent of them spent one and a half hours. It says 73,000 property agents in China hold bachelor's degrees or above, with 6,000 of them having graduated from universities ranked by the Ministry of Education 【教育部】 as among the country's best.房地产搜索引擎Ke.com的一项调查显示，去年有近50%的房地产经纪人每天花一小时研究房地产相关信息，27%的人每天花一个半小时。报告称，中国有7.3万房地产经纪人拥有本科及以上学位，其中6000人毕业于国内教育部排名最好的大学。  #热词加油站specializes in专门从事property agent房地产经纪人academic threshold学历门槛consultant [kənˈsʌltənt] 顾问downtown districts市中心区villa [ˈvɪlə] 别墅selling point卖点the Ministry of Education教育部

I decided to buy glutinous rice balls earlier, because there will be too many people on the day of the Lantern Festival.游客：一个是鲜肉汤团，一个是黑洋酥汤团。元宵节人太多了，我们不如现在早一点（买）嘛，都一样的呀。To attract more customers, the store has prepared durian flavored rice balls for those who want to try something new. The limited new flavor rice balls are covered with pumpkin flour, which has attracted many younger customers. The store said sales of glutinous rice balls has doubled compared to 2019.为了吸引更多的顾客，特别是那些爱尝新的客人，店家还特别准备了榴莲味的汤团。限量发售的新口味汤团，皮子里掺入了南瓜，吸引了不少年轻顾客。该店表示，与2019年相比，汤团的销量翻了一番。 Xu Zhengliu, ManagerNingbo Rice BallWe sold around 70,000 to 80,000 rice balls a day this week, and we estimated that we'll sell more than 100,000 rice balls two days before and after the Lantern Festival.宁波汤团店经理徐正留：这两天每天也有7、8万（只），元宵节前后两天我们预计销售要超过十万只。To welcome the festival, many craft stores at Yuyuan Garden started to sell lanterns made in different shapes, and the rabbit ones made of paper are the most popular.为了迎接元宵节，豫园里的许多工艺品商店推出了各式各样的彩灯，其中纸做的兔子灯最受欢迎。 Interview: customerI want to buy this to remember my childhood. My kid can also play with it.顾客：怀念一下我们小时候的童年。买给自己的孩子，然后自己正好也可以玩一下。To reduce large gatherings, people visiting Yuyuan Garden from February 25th to March 1st are required to enter in staggered time periods, they must make a reservation and present their ID cards to gain access. Emergency plans will be conducted to limit crowds if necessary.为了避免人群过于密集，在2月25日至3月1日期间参观豫园的游客需错峰入园，提前预约并出示身份证才能进入。如有需要，还将采取紧急措施来限流。

Welcome to Money Talks，I’m Bai Xuxu / ICS News Anchor HOT ONLINE VIDEOS - NOT JUST FOR FUN Want to learn new skills? Instead of googling or signing up for offline courses, an increasing number of young Chinese are now choosing to watch short videos online. These new short videos are not just something trendy - they're transforming how people here engage with information and knowledge. Zhang Shixuan has more.想学习新技能吗? 如今，越来越多的中国年轻人选择通过观看网络短视频的方式来学习，而不仅仅是网络搜索或报名参加线下课程。这些新兴的短视频不只是流行资讯而已，它们正在改变人们获取信息和知识的方式。请听来自记者张诗旋的报道 26-year-old postgraduate student Su Haotian started up【创立】 his own video account last June, when video platform Bilibili launched a new channel especially for knowledge-sharing content. Su primarily uploads information about popular internet applications once every 2 weeks, and he now has more than 1.2 million followers on the platform.26岁的研究生苏浩天于去年6月开通了自己的视频账号，当时视频平台“哔哩哔哩”推出了一个专门分享知识内容的新频道。苏浩天账号的主要内容是当下流行的互联网应用相关资讯，每两周上传一次。到现在他的账号已经聚集了120多万粉丝。 Su Haotian, Video Uploader2月份疫情暴发，全部远程在线学习，在家学习天天对着电脑，对着视频网站觉得这是一个很好的形式，4个月上课学习制作视频。做了一个微信全民软件，那次开始粉丝量播放量数据质的飞跃，涨了40万粉丝。Last February when the outbreak started, I was learning online through videos, and I thought this was a pretty good idea. So, I spent 4 months learning how to make them.  My breakthrough came when I made a video about WeChat, and my follower numbers shot up by around 400,000. After just six months on Bilibili, Su was named the platform's outstanding newcomer for 2020. He's got plenty of company. Last year, 100 million users watched knowledge-sharing videos on Bilibili.落户“哔哩哔哩”仅仅6个月后，苏浩天就被评为2020年“哔哩哔哩”新人奖up主。而他的故事并不是个例——要知道，仅2020年，就有1亿用户在“哔哩哔哩”上观看了知识分享类视频。 Interview：user 用户采访半年前开始看的，bilibili首页推送，不会主动关注，刷到就看，一个星期一两次。科普，科技、法制I started to watch knowledge videos half a year ago when I saw the promotional link on the home page. I usually watch once or twice a week. I like technology and law. Interview：user 用户采访看了一年多了，就电脑上看，每天都看，10分钟以内的视频都可以I've been watching the educational videos for more than a year. I watch every day, things around ten minutes long. Interview：user 用户采访每天都会看，看了好几年了，15年开始的，这两年科普类视频越来越多了，喜欢长一点，20-30分钟I've been watching every day since 2015. There's been more educational videos during the past 2 years, and I like the longer ones, 20 or 30 minutes.  Zhang Shixuan, Reporter 记者/张诗璇Every day in August last year there were 21 million people watching 45-minute educational videos on Bilibili. That was almost a 1.5-fold【1.5倍】 jump from last January. The market is so promising it's no wonder that many other Internet companies are also taking a hard look at it.去年8月，每天有2100万人在“哔哩哔哩”在线观看长达45分钟的教育类视频。这几乎是去年1月份的1.5倍。这个市场有前景，难怪许多其他互联网公司也纷纷盯上了这块蛋糕。 Last December, Baidu-backed Haokan Video announced an investment of 1 billion yuan to promote knowledge sharing content. Just last month Netease announced it would also spend a billion yuan to start offering video services. Bytedance-owned Xigua Video announced an investment of 2-billion-yuan last October, also to support video creators.去年12月，百度旗下“好看”视频宣布投资10亿元重点补贴泛知识类创作者。就在上个月，网易宣布将斥资10亿元开始提供视频服务。字节跳动旗下的“西瓜”视频去年10月宣布投资20亿元，同样用于支持视频创作者。 Some mature video up-loaders have been figuring out business models to maintain sustained long-term growth. Having been creating knowledge sharing content on various video platforms for 4 years, Shanghai-based DXCHANNEL now has some 267,000 followers on Bilibili, and began commercializing its offerings with different brands and video platforms just last year. The company is now making four million yuan a year.一些比较成熟的视频创作者一直在寻找保持长期持续增长的商业模式。4年来，DXCHANNEL一直在各种视频平台上创作知识分享内容，坐标上海的DXCHANNEL目前在“哔哩哔哩”上拥有约26.7万名粉丝，并于去年开始与不同品牌和视频平台合作，开始商业化内容的尝试。这家公司目前年收益400万元。 Lucia Shen, Executive Producer /// DXCHANNELWe really start the commercialization in our third year.

Zhang Shixuan finds out how new players are hoping to corner ashare of the business for themselves.短视频app抖音带着自己全新的移动支付服务，入局中国庞大的数字支付市场，希望进入已经被支付宝和微信支付两大巨头所主导的领域。移动支付行业的“新人”如何让自己在市场中占有一席之地？ICS记者张诗璇带来报道。 Douyin's new payment service allows users to link cards from 10 banks totip livestreaming【网络直播】 hosts,purchase paid content, and also buy stuff from the app's e-commerce offers.Douyin previously used only WeChat Pay and Alipay, but now its payments areprocessed by Ulpay(Union Life Pay), a Hubei-based firm that Douyin'sowner Bytedance【字节跳动】 reportedlyapplied to buy in 2018. Now that Douyin can boast 600 million daily activeusers, experts say the timing was right to launch its own payment servicebecause it will help cement【巩固】 theloyalty of its user base.新的抖音支付服务目前支持十家银行卡的绑定，用户可以通过抖音支付给直播的主播打赏、购买付费内容，还可以在抖音电商中购买商品。抖音此前只使用微信支付和支付宝，但现在其支付可由总部位于湖北的武汉合众易宝科技有限公司提供服务。据报道，抖音母公司字节跳动于2018年申请收购该公司。如今，抖音拥有6亿的日活跃用户，专家表示，这正是推出自己的支付服务的绝佳时机，因为这将有助于巩固其用户基础的忠诚度。 According to a report by Hua Chuang Securities, China's mobile payment marketwas expected to have surpassed【超越】 600trillion yuan in 2020 and will continue to enjoy high-speed growth. And Douyinis far from the only company trying to move into digital payments. Bilibili hasjust registered its own payment domainname【域名】. Pinduoduo has justacquired its payment trademark【商标】, andin-app payments are already available for Meituan and Didi. All the newentrants could be well positioned to take advantage of the government's crackdown【打击】 on monopoly【垄断】 practicesin the country's internet finance sector.根据华创证券的一份报告，截止至2020年，中国移动支付市场规模预计超过600万亿元，并将继续高速增长。抖音并不是唯一一家试图进入数字支付领域的公司。哔哩哔哩刚刚完成了自己的支付域名备案。拼多多刚刚注册了其支付商标。美团和滴滴已经在app内上线自己的数字钱包。中国政府对互联网金融领域垄断行为的打击，或许是新入场的移动支付企业的绝佳契机。#热词加油站digital payments market 数字支付市场dominate /ˈdɑːmɪneɪt/  v. 控制；支配；在…中占主要地位livestream /ˈlaɪvstriːm/ v. 网络直播cement /sɪˈment/ v. 巩固domain name 域名trademark /ˈtreɪdmɑːrk/ n. 商标monopoly /məˈnɑːpəli/ n. 垄断；垄断者；专卖权#关于cement的冷知识“cement”作为名词，表示“水泥”，例如：cement concrete 水泥混凝土cement paste 水泥浆cement floor 水泥地面“cement”作为动词，可以表示“把…粘合”，常常被引申为表示“巩固、加强”。例：共同的目标可以让一个群体更团结。Collective goals can help cement solidarity.和同义词“consolidate”、“enhance”、“make sth. stronger”相比，cement更富有画面感~cement后常接表示“关系”的名词，比如: relationship, bond, friendship, tie, connection等等。cement的这种用法也是《经济学人》中的常客哦~ 你学会了吗？

It listsexercise for weight loss as the top trend.《2021年中国健身趋势》收集了健身行业业内人士的3368份在线问卷，“减重运动”名列榜首。The most recent government statistics【数据】 published on December 23rd, show that over 50 percent of the adultpopulation are overweight【超重的】 or obese.12月23日公布的最新政府统计数据显示，中国超过50%的成年人超重或肥胖。Almost 20 percent of children andteenagers are classified as【被列为】 overweight orobese. Experts say rising awareness【意识】 about thehealth problems obesity causes is the main reason more people want to loseweight. The pandemic has also demonstrated【证明】 theimportance of being healthy and having a strong immune system【免疫系统】.近20%的儿童和青少年也属于超重或肥胖之列。专家表示，越来越多的人想要减肥，主要是对肥胖引起的健康问题的关注度不断提升。这次疫情也证明了保持健康和拥有强大免疫系统的重要性。中国健身趋势调查课题组代表 黎涌明With people's physical space limited whilebeing quarantined【隔离】 at home, weight gain hasbeen an issue, so that in turn has promoted the idea of weight loss. So losingweight through a healthy diet【健康饮食】,and aerobic exercise【有氧运动】 are expected to be thetop trends this year.由于被隔离在家中，活动空间有限，体重增加成了一个问题，这反过来又促进了人们减肥的想法。因此，通过健康饮食和有氧运动减肥有望成为今年的流行趋势。#热词加油站obese /oʊˈbiːs/ adj. 肥胖的，过胖的calorie /ˈkæləri/ n. 卡路里（热量单位）fitness trend 健身趋势questionnaire /ˌkwestʃəˈner/ n. 问卷；调查表immune system /ɪˈmjuːn ˈsɪstəm/ 免疫系统aerobic exercise /eˈroʊbɪk ˈeksərsaɪz/ 有氧运动#关于Aerobic Exercise的冷知识Q: 在家能做哪些有氧运动呢？At-home aerobicsRunning/jogging 跑步/慢跑Walking 走路Dancing 舞蹈Rope Jumping 跳绳Q: 去健身房能做哪些有氧运动呢？Aerobic gym exercisesStair stepper 踏步机Swimming 游泳Elliptical machine 椭圆机Aerobic class 有氧健身班Cardio dance class 有氧舞蹈课Indoor cycling 室内自行车Cardio kickboxing 有氧拳击操Q: 有氧运动和无氧运动有什么差别？先从英语开始学起~有氧运动叫AerobicExercise，那么无氧运动叫什么呢？无氧运动叫Anaerobic Exercise，注意这个否定前缀an。有氧运动，顾名思义“有氧气”，需要大量呼吸空气，它对心、肺是很好的锻炼，可以增强肺活量和心脏功能。而无氧运动的最大特征是：运动时氧气的摄取量非常低。由于速度过快及爆发力过猛，人体内的糖分来不及经过氧气分解，而不得不依靠“无氧供能”。通过无氧运动可以提高机体的肌肉力量、爆发力、增加肌肉体积，提高运动速度。

CHINESE LIQUOR LIGHTS UP BUYERS AND INVESTORS, GETS A LEGAL NAME获消费者和投资者青睐——“中国白酒”终于有姓名NEWS ON 01/20Welcome to Money Talks, I'm Timothy Pope. 欢迎收听《财道》，我是Timothy Pope/ ICS财经主持人. Chinese media have discovered that the country's famous strong liquors -- baijiu -- have finally gotten an official name from the customs administration. They're now legally “baijiu", a direct reading of the Chinese. For some time now the brands have been lighting up both the retail and the capital markets, and Chen Tong takes a spirited look at both.中国媒体发现，中国海关商品名录中已将中国著名烈酒——白酒的对应英文名正式更改为“Baijiu”，即白酒的汉语拼音。近来，中国白酒在零售和资本市场的表现都十分亮眼，请记者陈童带来详细报道。If you've ever had it, you'll never forget it. Born in China's Sichuan and Guizhou provinces and with an alcohol content of more than 30 percent, China's own spirits go straight to your head.一口难忘———诞生于四川和贵州，酒精含量超过30％的中国白酒，非常上头！ Chen Tong, Reporter陈童，《财道》记者In the past, China's customs administration has always called the Chinese baijiu “Chinese distilled【蒸馏的】 spirits". But starting this year, Chinese baijiu have finally had their name officially recognized as Chinese baijiu. One of the important reasons behind the change is baijiu's increasing popularity with the public.过去，在中国海关商品名录中，中国白酒的英文名称被翻译为 “Chinese distilled spirits"， 也就是“中国蒸馏酒”。但从今年开始，中国白酒的对应英文名将统一为“Chinese Baijiu”。更名背后的重要原因之一在于白酒的知名度越来越高。 With the Spring Festival fast approaching, sales of baijiu have been surging【激增】in this shop -- tripling the sales at other times of the year. Baijiu prices have also been rising steadily too. The wholesale price of one bottle of the premium【高档】brand Kweichou Moutai is now more than 3,000 yuan, hundreds more than it was just last year.随着春节的临近，白酒在这家商店的销售额持续激增，是一年中其它时间的三倍。白酒价格也一直稳步上涨。一瓶特级贵州茅台酒的批发价现在已经超过3000元，比去年上涨了数百元。 The strong liquor is turning in not only strong sales to consumers, but also strong equity 【股票】performance for investors. Despite a bit of profit-taking【获利抛售】recently, the share price of Kweichou Moutai rose more than 70 percent last year, while that of Wuliangye jumped by more than 120 percent.劲道十足的白酒不仅带动了消费者的强劲消费，对投资者来说，白酒股的表现也十分抢眼。除了近来出现部分获利抛售的现象之外，去年贵州茅台的股价上涨了70％以上，五粮液的股价上涨幅度也超过了120％。 And the capital markets seem to think that the more baijiu they have, the happier they will be.

NEWS ON 12/24Chen Xuan / News Anchor：Welcome to this edition of ShanghaiLive, I'm Chen Xuan.中午好！欢迎收听《直播上海》我是陈璇 / ICS新闻主播 The Swiss Federal Tribunal（瑞士联邦最高法院）has overturned （推翻） the Court of Arbitration for Sport's（CAS 国际体育仲裁法庭）ruling on Chinese swimmer Sun Yang, who had been banned（禁赛）for eight years for doping violations.(违反反兴奋剂条例)中国游泳运动员孙杨被CAS国际体育仲裁法庭裁定违反反兴奋剂条例，并禁赛8年。近日，瑞士联邦最高法院推翻了这一裁决。The CAS found the three-time Olympics champion, 29-year-old Sun Yang guilty in February of refusing to cooperate with sample collectors during a visit to his home in Hangzhou, Zhejiang in September, 2018. Sun then turned to the Swiss Federal Tribunal for appeal.今年2月，国际体育仲裁法庭对29岁的三届奥运金牌得主孙杨做出过错裁定。起因是2018年9月，孙杨在取样人员造访其杭州住所进行赛外反兴奋剂检查时拒检。孙杨随后向瑞士联邦最高法院提出上诉。The main question of the Swiss Federal Tribunal, concerns the Chairman of the 3 judge panel over the CAS hearing（听证会）, 62-year-old former Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini, who, according to Sun's lawyers, has posted several allegedly racist comments on social media. This has led the Swiss Federal Tribunal to believe that it is possible Frattini did not run（举行） the hearing fairly or impartially. The CAS was then asked to reopen the case.（重新审理此案）瑞士联邦最高法院撤销CAS裁决的主要原因是三人仲裁团的主席，现年62岁的意大利前外交部长——弗兰科·弗拉蒂尼，被孙杨的律师发现曾多次在社交媒体上发表过针对中国人的种族歧视言论。这使得瑞士联邦最高法院质疑弗拉蒂尼在“孙杨事件”上的公正性。随后，国际体育仲裁法庭被要求重新审理此案。 In a public hearing held by the CAS in November 2019, Sun said the Doping Control Officer（兴奋剂检查官） and her assistants lacked sufficient authorization and credentials. One lawyer said the overturning of the Swiss tribunal has gained some precious time for Sun to possibly compete at Olympics.在2019年11月国际体育仲裁法庭举行的公开听证会上，孙杨表示兴奋剂检查官及其助手缺乏足够的资质证明。一位律师说，瑞士最高院的翻案，为孙杨赢得了参加奥运会的宝贵时间。If the results of the hearing come after the Tokyo games, and the results of the second hearing also find Sun guilty of doping,  Sun's scores at Tokyo Olympics will be invalidated（使无效）, and he'd be stripped of（被剥夺）any medals he would have won.如果第二次听证会的结果在东京奥运会之后公布，且仍然维持原判，那么孙杨在东京奥运会上的成绩将作废，所获奖牌将被剥夺。

CAFE WITH HEARING IMPAIRED BARISTAS PROVES POPULARNEWS ON 12/03Welcome to this edition of ShanghaiLive, I'm He Jian.A coffee shop in downtown Xuhui District has quickly gained fame after opening only a few days ago. Its baristas【咖啡师】have a hearing impairment【障碍】, so the founder has devised an unique way to serve beverages【饮料】. Song Wenjing has the story.欢迎收听《直播上海》，我是何健 / ICS新闻主播 位于徐汇区的这家咖啡店，没开几天便名声大噪。这里的咖啡师是一位听障人士，而店家的服务方式可以说是非常特别了。来听记者宋雯婧带来的报道。At this cafe on Yongkang Road in Xuhui District, customers can't see the baristas inside. A fluffy toy bear paw reaches out of the wall to serve them. After a customer takes the coffee, the bear paw shakes their hand and even gives them a rose. Some are now calling it “Bear Paw Cafe”.在徐汇区永康路上的这家咖啡店里，是看不到咖啡师的。光秃秃的墙上只有一个小洞，一只毛茸茸的“熊爪”从洞里伸出来，将一杯杯咖啡送到客人手中，顺便再和客人握个“爪”，有时还送朵玫瑰花。人送外号：“熊爪咖啡” 。Customer/顾客A fluffy paw gives me a coffee in winter. It' s very warm. 有一个毛茸茸的小爪爪，递一杯咖啡给你，你就会感觉很温暖。The founder of the cafe wants her baristas to be able to work without people watching, freeing them of judgment. She says from the start she wanted to hire people with hearing loss【听力障碍】.店主人希望给咖啡师一个没有异样的目光和指指点点的环境去工作。开这家小店的初心，就是想要为听障人士提供工作机会。Wang Haiqing / Founder of Hinichijou Cafe王海青 / 非日常咖啡创始人 I asked the Shanghai Disabled Person's Federation【上海市残联】 if any special training was required for someone with a hearing impairment. The officials told me that people with hearing loss can make very good coffee. They offered me eight people to interview.

你的爱豆被豁免了吗S.KOREA PASSES LAW TO ALLOW K-POP STARS TO POSTPONE MILITARY SERVICENEWS ON 12/02South Korea's parliament passed a bill [法案] yesterday that will allow a pop star who was recommended by the country's minister of culture, sports and tourism to postpone[推迟] his military service until the age 30. Chen Xuan tells us some details.爱新觉罗·贝 / ICS新闻主播：韩国国会12月1日在全体会议上审议通过《兵役法》修订案。根据该法案，包括“韩流”男子演艺团体成员在内“大众文化艺术领域优秀人员”在获得文化体育观光部长官推荐后，允许推迟到30岁再服兵役。下面由陈璇为大家带来详细报道。�Chen Xuan: All right, Bei. 陈璇 / ICS新闻主播：好的，贝。�South Korea requires all able-bodied[体格健全的] South Korean men aged between 18 and 28 to serve in the military for about two years. But the country allows eligible [符合条件的] students to defer their duties up to the age of 28 and has granted exemptions[法律上准许豁免] for high-profile classical musicians and athletes who won Olympic medals or a gold at the Asian Games. Such as the Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min. 在韩国，18岁到28岁的适龄健康韩国籍男子都必须到部队服役两年左右。但凡事都有例外——符合一定条件的学生，可推迟服役至28岁，而一些国宝级的音乐家还有奥林匹克奖牌或亚运会金牌得主，则不在强制服役之列。比如效力于英超托特纳姆热刺足球俱乐部的韩国知名足球运动员——孙兴慜就被免除了兵役。So far no K-pop star has ever received an exemptions. For example, South Korean Actor Hyun Bin enlisted in the army in 2011, receiving training with other normal soldiers. Last year, boy band Big Bang's G-Dragon was discharged from the army.不过，目前还没有哪位韩流明星获此殊荣。举个轰动一时的�：被称为韩国“四大公共财产”之一的顶流——玄彬就在2011年入伍，当了一名普通士兵。而乐队男团 Big Bang成员权志龙也在去年正式退伍。However, some pop stars could miss out on their golden years of their career while serving.但对一些明星来说，入伍就意味着错过演艺生涯的黄金时间。�Many argued that the amendment [修订案] to the Military Service Act was designed to provide exceptions for K-pop megastars [巨星] who improve the country's cultural status and boost the economy. 那么，通过这份修订案，是为了给韩流明星们打开方便之门吗？毕竟他们提升了国家文化地位，刺激了经济发展。这也是《兵役法》修订案的主要争议之所在。A poll released last month by local news showed 53% of respondents supported special treatment for BTS, while 47% opposed it. Supporters say entertainment icons and internationally recognized athletes can improve South Korea's image, while opponents say the achievements of K-pop stars can't put on a par with [相提并论] Olympic medal winners.韩国某新闻媒体上个月所做的民意调查显示，大约有53%的受访者支持“男团”推迟入伍，47%的受访者表示反对。支持者认为娱乐明星和拥有国际知名度的运动员都可以提升韩国国家形象，而反对者则认为韩流明星的成就和奥运奖牌获得者无法相提并论。

OLD SUMMER PALACE RELIC RETURNED AFTER 160 YEARS.NEWS ON 12/1A bronze horse head looted(掠夺) from the Old Summer Palace(圆明园) in Beijing was returned today after 160 years.160年前被人从北京圆明园掠走的马首铜像，在今天终于被归还。It was the first time a major cultural relic(文物) from the Old Summer Palace was returned to its original location after being taken overseas. The horse head was designed by Italian artist Guiseppe Castiglione and blends East and West elements.它成为第一件回归圆明园的流失海外的重要文物。马首铜像由意大利艺术家郎世宁（原名朱塞佩·伽斯底里奥内）设计，融合了东西方元素。Late Macao billionaire(亿万富翁) Stanley Ho bought the bronze horse head and agreed to donate(捐赠) it to the National Cultural Heritage Administration(国家文物局) before his death.澳门亿万富翁何鸿燊先生在生前买下了这尊马首铜像，并在去世前将它捐赠给了国家文物局。Twelve animal head sculptures once formed a zodiac(生肖) water clock in the Old Summer Palace. The originals were stolen from the royal garden by Anglo-French allied forces(英法联军) during the Second Opium War(第二次鸦片战争) between 1856 and 1860.圆明园的十二个兽首铜像曾经是十二生肖兽首喷泉水力钟。在1856年至1860年的第二次鸦片战争期间，英法联军入侵，并将它们从皇家园林中掠走。

make your own emojis！搜索“上海外语频道”公众号看英语新闻 一起磨耳朵！带中英译文MOBILE PHONE EMOJIS - NOT JUST FUN,BUT A WAY OF MAKING MONEY TOO Emojis gifts and social media stickers are now an indispensable part of our daily lives and crucial to the way we communicate. But where do they actually come from and why do people bother to make them? Well, it turns out they can be a good way of making money for their creators, as Ying Junyi reports.The emojis and mobile stickers that we like are constantly changing - people get tired of the old ones, and look for ways to pick up on the latest buzzwords. That means the designers need to upgrade their work from time to time - even Tencent last week came up with six new ones for its official emoji set. Another favorite set, Zhushasha, has been downloaded over 50 million times, and its designer Lalala says she has to keep a close ear out for new buzzwords that users will like. Coming up with a new emoji is not a quick or a casual matter, however. Lalala, Independent DesignerWe are often inspired by popular buzzwords when designing stickers, but we have to select the phrases we are going to use carefully. Many of them will only be popular for a short time, while designing a sticker set can take a long time. We usually launch three to four sets a year.But once a sticker series like Zhu Shasha receives high public recognition, it can become a brand in itself, allowing the designer to make some serious money from it.Lalala, Independent DesignerWe make money mainly from donations from sticker users, from sales of derivatives and partnerships with other brands. We mainly focus on selling derivatives as it's a more stable income source.Big brands can take advantage of the popularity of stickers by partnering with famous designers, and some even launch their own sets. Both Pepsi and Starbucks have introduced their own sticker sets on WeChat, and experts say that's an excellent way for brands to stay in touch with their consumers.Jason Yu, Managing Director// Kantar WorldpanelToday, consumers are a bit tired of the direct hardcore marketing message, so I think those soft marketing vehicles are really effective sometimes to make consumers love the brand. We do see those stickers or emojis are very popular ways to engage those customers and it really shows that those brands care about those consumers and would like to talk in their language.As of the end of last year, WeChat had nearly 1.2 billion monthly active users. That's big potential exposure for a brand, so the big advertisers are likely to stick with it.
