Ep 1英语新闻丨清明不是只有雨,还有柳条和春风
In this episode of Qingming: Beyond the Drizzling Rain, we take a warm, thoughtful deep dive into one of China’s most layered traditions. Far more than a day for tomb sweeping, Qingming is revealed as a beautiful fusion of three ancient festivals: the agricultural wisdom of a Han Dynasty solar term, the quiet reverence of the Cold Food Festival’s fire‑changing ritual, and the joyful riverside gatherings of the Shangsi Festival.Through a lively, conversational journey, we explore how these threads wove together over centuries to create a holiday where remembrance and spring joy coexist — expressed in cold foods, willow branches, and the lovely phrase “sorrow without devastation.” We also look at modern echoes, from six‑day school spring breaks in provinces like Anhui and Jiangsu to the rise of Cyber Qingming, where AI voices and virtual reality offer new ways to honor those we’ve lost.What emerges is a simple, enduring truth: Qingming has never been frozen in time. It adapts, it breathes, and at its heart, it asks us to do one thing — to remember love in the season of renewal, and in doing so, to live well.Tune in if you’ve ever wondered why we sweep graves and fly kites on the same day, or if you’re looking for a gentle, hopeful conversation about memory, spring, and what truly lasts.

Ep 2英语新闻丨最高法:拐卖妇女儿童案件下降近八成
China's top court disclosed the details of four major cases related to the trafficking of women and children on Thursday, reaffirming its commitment to imposing severe penalties on offenders, even as the incidence of such crimes has decreased.最高人民法院4月2日公布了四起重大拐卖妇女儿童案件详情,重申对此类犯罪依法从严惩处的立场,尽管相关案件发生率已有所下降。According to the Supreme People's Court, from 2012 to 2025, the number of these criminal cases fell by nearly 78 percent, indicating that the country has effectively curbed such offenses.据最高人民法院数据,2012年至2025年间,全国拐卖妇女儿童刑事案件数量下降近78%,表明我国已有效遏制此类犯罪。The top court reiterated its strong stance on punishing these crimes harshly, highlighting the need for stricter penalties — particularly for ringleaders and those involved in serious crimes like child abduction, trafficking multiple victims, or forcing victims into prostitution.最高法重申依法严惩此类犯罪的坚定态度,强调要从严处罚,特别是对犯罪集团首要分子、重要成员以及参与拐卖多名儿童或强迫被拐卖者卖淫等严重罪行者。In cases with grave consequences, such as causing death or severe mental distress to victims or their families, the death penalty was applied without hesitation, the court emphasized.最高法指出,对于犯罪情节特别严重的案件,如造成被害人或其家庭死亡、精神严重创伤等后果的,坚决依法判处死刑。Data from 2021 to 2025 showed that the percentage of trafficking convictions resulting in sentences of 10 years or more was 10 percentage points higher than the rate for all criminal cases.2021年至2025年数据显示,拐卖妇女儿童案件中判处十年以上有期徒刑的比例,高出全部刑事案件相应比例十个百分点。One case disclosed and highlighted by the top court involved an individual surnamed Wang, who was sentenced to death for trafficking more than 10 children.最高法公布的一起典型案例中,一名王姓男子因拐卖十余名儿童被判处死刑。Wang began abducting and trafficking children in October 2001. He was initially sentenced to three years in prison in 2006 for kidnapping a child. After his release in July 2008, Wang resumed his criminal activities, leading to a 15-year sentence in December 2015 for trafficking three other children.王某于2001年10月开始拐卖儿童。2006年,他因拐骗一名儿童被判处有期徒刑三年。2008年7月刑满释放后,王某再次作案,于2015年12月因拐卖另外三名儿童被判处有期徒刑十五年。While he was serving his sentence, further investigations revealed that between October 2001 and May 2010, he was involved in the abduction and sale of 11 additional children under the age of 6 from various provinces, including Hunan, Hubei, and Sichuan, to Guangdong province. Wang profited approximately 199,000 yuan ($28,955) from these crimes.服刑期间,警方进一步侦查发现,2001年10月至2010年5月间,王某还曾从湖南、湖北、四川等地拐卖11名未满6周岁的儿童至广东省,非法获利约19.9万元人民币。Wang's actions had severe psychological and financial impacts on the victims' families, leading some to divorce or attempt suicide.王某的犯罪行为给被害儿童家庭造成严重精神打击和经济损失,部分家庭因此离异或有人试图自杀。Given the large number of children he abducted and trafficked, the particularly heinous nature of his crimes, his role as a ringleader, and his status as a repeat offender, he was finally sentenced to death and recently executed.鉴于王某拐卖儿童人数众多,犯罪情节特别恶劣,系犯罪首要分子,且属累犯,最终被判处死刑,近日已执行。The top court stated that capital punishment underscores the judiciary's firm stance against child traffickers and serves as a warning to those who might seek to profit from such criminal activities.最高法表示,死刑判决彰显了司法机关依法严惩拐卖儿童犯罪的坚定立场,也是对妄图以此牟利者的严厉警示。reiterate /riːˈɪtəreɪt/重申;反复说ringleader /ˈrɪŋˌliːdər/首要分子;主谋grave consequences /ɡreɪv ˈkɑːnsəkwensɪz/严重后果heinous /ˈheɪnəs/极其恶劣的;令人发指的

Ep 3英语新闻丨日本导弹举动引发关切
China has expressed "grave concern" over Japan's deployment of long-range missiles capable of striking what Tokyo calls "enemy bases".对于日本部署可打击其所谓"敌方基地"的远程导弹一事,中方表示"严重关切"。Japan announced on Tuesday the deployment of the long-range missiles in its Kumamoto and Shizuoka prefectures. Defense Minister Shinjiro Koizumi said Japan "faces the most severe and complex security environment in the postwar era" and must build up its ability to defend itself from outside the region.3月31日,日本在其熊本县和静冈县部署了远程导弹。日本防卫大臣小泉进次郎称,日本"正面临战后最严峻复杂的安全环境",须构筑防区外防卫能力。In response, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Wednesday that Japan's deployment of offensive weapons under the pretext of "defense" and "counterattack" far exceeds the scope of "self-defense" and "exclusive defense".对此,外交部发言人毛宁4月1日表示,日方打着“防卫”“反击”的幌子,部署进攻性武器,远远超出“自卫”和“专守防卫”范畴。This "seriously violates the provisions of documents with binding force of international law, such as the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Proclamation and the Japanese Instrument of Surrender, and this seriously violates Japan's Constitution and its existing domestic norms," Mao said.毛宁表示,此举"严重违背《开罗宣言》《波茨坦公告》《日本投降书》等具有国际法效力文件的规定,严重违背日本宪法和国内既有规范"。"This once again shows that Japan's far-right forces are pushing security policies toward offensiveness and expansionism," she added.毛宁还称,"这再次反映出日本右翼势力正在推动安保政策朝着进攻性、扩张性的方向转变。"The upgraded Type-12 land-to-ship missiles, developed and produced by Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, became operational at Camp Kengun in Kumamoto prefecture, The Associated Press reported.据美联社报道,由日本三菱重工研发和生产的升级版12式岸舰导弹已在熊本县健军驻地部署。The missiles have a range of about 1,000 kilometers, a significant extension from the 200 km range of the original, allowing it to reach China's mainland, according to the AP.据美联社报道,该导弹射程约1000公里,与原型200公里的射程相比有大幅提升,可覆盖中国大陆部分地区。Mao said Japan's "new militarism" is threatening peace and stability in the region. The international community should remain highly vigilant, she said.毛宁表示,日本的“新型军国主义”正在威胁地区和平稳定。国际社会应对此高度警惕。"I have also noticed that many Japanese organizations and citizens have clearly expressed their objection," she added.毛宁指出,"我们也注意到,很多日本团体和民众明确表达了反对意见。"Last month, a Japanese Self-Defense Forces officer illegally broke into the Chinese embassy in Tokyo with a knife.上月,一名日本自卫队官员持刀非法闯入中国驻日本使馆。"Instead of seriously reflecting on the lack of oversight and control over the Self-Defense Forces, the Japanese side is busy hyping up external threats and accelerating its military buildup. This trend is extremely dangerous," Mao said.毛宁表示,"日方不反躬自省自卫队失管失控问题,却忙着煽炒外部威胁、加速扩军备武,这一动向十分危险。""We solemnly urge the Japanese side to deeply reflect on its history of militarist aggression, live up to its commitments in the field of military security, and act with discretion.""我们严正敦促日方深刻反省军国主义侵略历史,在军事安全领域恪守承诺、慎重行事。"grave concern /ɡreɪv kənˈsɜːrn/严重关切deployment of offensive weapons /dɪˈplɔɪmənt əv əˈfensɪv ˈwepənz/部署进攻性武器pretext /ˈpriːtekst/借口Japan's far-right forces /dʒəˈpænz fɑːr raɪt ˈfɔːrsɪz/日本右翼势力solemnly /ˈsɑːləmli/郑重地,严正地

Ep 4英语新闻丨纽约市长:TikTok,我们回来了
纽约市长:TikTok,我们回来了New York City (NYC) has lifted its ban on TikTok for government-owned devices, allowing agencies to resume posting on the platform under new security protocols, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced on Tuesday via the app itself.纽约市长祖赫兰·马姆达尼3月31日通过TikTok社交媒体平台宣布,纽约市已解除对政府设备使用TikTok的禁令,允许各部门在新的安全协议下恢复在该平台发布内容。The original prohibition, established in 2023 by former Mayor Eric Adams, aligned with the federal government and many US states that restricted the app on government-owned devices due to concerns about its parent company, ByteDance. TikTok has previously dismissed these concerns as unfounded.该禁令由前市长埃里克·亚当斯于2023年设立,与联邦政府及美国多州一致,因担忧其母公司字节跳动而限制在政府设备上使用该应用。TikTok此前已驳斥这些担忧毫无根据。Under the new guidelines issued by NYC Cyber Command, agencies must use dedicated devices for TikTok that do not contain sensitive data.根据纽约市网络安全指挥部发布的新规,各部门必须使用不含敏感数据的专用设备登录TikTok。The city's cyber agency said the move is aimed at expanding communication with residents. "The Mamdani administration is committed to using every tool in our toolbox to communicate with New Yorkers," it said.该市网络部门表示,此举旨在扩大与市民的沟通渠道。"马姆达尼政府致力于利用一切可用工具与纽约市民保持沟通,"该部门称。The official NYC mayor TikTok account has begun posting new content. It had been dormant since the ban took effect.纽约市长官方TikTok账号已开始发布新内容。该账号自禁令实施以来一直处于停更状态。lift its ban /lɪft ɪts bæn/解除禁令 dismiss /dɪsˈmɪs/驳回;不予理会 dedicated devices /ˈdedɪkeɪtɪd dɪˈvaɪsɪz/专用设备 dormant /ˈdɔːmənt/休眠的;暂停活动的

Ep 5英语新闻丨3月我国制造业活动加快回升
Manufacturing rebounds, but smaller enterprises remain under pressure制造业有所回暖,但中小企业仍面临压力China's manufacturing activity returned to expansion territory in March, offering an early sign that policy support is beginning to feed through to the real economy as measures to boost demand and stabilize growth gain traction, experts said on Tuesday.3月,我国制造业活动重返扩张区间。专家3月31日表示,这为观察中国经济提供了一个早期信号,表明随着提振需求、稳定增长的措施逐步显效,政策支持正开始向实体经济传导。However, they cautioned that prolonged weakness among small and medium-sized enterprises highlights lingering structural pressures and underscores the challenge for policymakers in fostering a more broad-based recovery in the world's second-largest economy.不过专家也提醒,中小企业持续疲软凸显结构性压力依然存在,也表明政策制定者在推动我国作为世界第二大经济体实现更广泛复苏方面仍面临挑战。They also said that continued countercyclical policy support, faster rollout of major government investment projects and more targeted measures to ease financing burdens on small and medium-sized enterprises will be key to boosting orders, reviving production and underpinning a solid start to the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period.专家还表示,持续加强逆周期调节政策支持、加快重大政府投资项目落地、出台更有针对性的措施缓解中小企业融资压力,对于扩大订单、恢复生产、支撑"十五五"时期(2026-2030年)实现良好开局至关重要。Their comments came as China's official purchasing managers' index for the manufacturing sector stood at 50.4 in March, up from 49.0 in February and returning to expansion territory, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Tuesday. The subindex for production stood at 51.4 in March, up from 49.6 in February, while the gauge for new orders came in at 51.6, up 3 percentage points from the previous month, the NBS said.国家统计局3月31日发布的数据显示,3月份,我国制造业采购经理指数(PMI)为50.4%,比上月上升1.5个百分点,重返扩张区间。国家统计局表示,生产指数为51.4%,比上月上升1.8个百分点;新订单指数为51.6%,比上月上升3.0个百分点。Huo Lihui, an NBS statistician, attributed the rebound in manufacturing PMI to the faster resumption of work and production after the Spring Festival holiday, as well as increased market activity, with the production index and the new orders index both returning to expansion territory.国家统计局服务业调查中心首席统计师霍丽慧表示,制造业PMI回升主要是受春节后企业加快复工复产、市场活跃度提升等因素影响,生产指数和新订单指数均回到扩张区间。Wang Qing, chief macroeconomic analyst at Golden Credit Rating International, said sentiment in China's manufacturing sector improved in March, buoyed by optimism after the recently concluded two sessions, the annual gatherings of China's top legislative and political advisory bodies, which underscored that China's macro policies would remain more proactive and effective this year.东方金诚首席宏观分析师王青表示,近期闭幕的全国两会释放出今年宏观政策将更加积极有为的信号,受此鼓舞,3月份我国制造业景气水平有所改善。That policy tone was reinforced by the People's Bank of China on Tuesday. In a statement released after the first-quarter meeting of its monetary policy committee for 2026, the PBOC said it would continue to implement a moderately loose monetary policy, step up countercyclical and cross-cyclical adjustments, and improve coordination between monetary and fiscal policies to promote stable economic growth and a reasonable recovery in prices.中国人民银行3月31日进一步强化了这一政策基调。央行货币政策委员会2026年第一季度例会指出,将继续实施适度宽松的货币政策,加大逆周期与跨周期调节力度,加强货币财政政策协调配合,促进经济平稳增长和物价合理回升。Meanwhile, major manufacturing segments strengthened further and maintained a mild upward trend. High-tech manufacturing, for instance, posted a PMI reading of 52.1 in March, up 0.6 percentage point from February, and remained in expansion territory for the 14th consecutive month, the NBS reported.与此同时,重点制造业板块进一步增强,并保持温和上升势头。国家统计局数据显示,高技术制造业PMI为52.1%,比上月上升0.6个百分点,连续14个月处于扩张区间。Despite the overall expansion, small and medium-sized manufacturers remained under pressure, with activity still in contraction territory.尽管制造业总体扩张,但中小型制造企业仍面临压力,其相关活动仍处于收缩区间。According to the NBS, the subindex for medium-sized enterprises rose 1.5 percentage points to 49.0, while that for small enterprises climbed 4.5 percentage points to 49.3, but both remained below the 50-point threshold.国家统计局数据显示,中型企业PMI为49.0%,比上月上升1.5个百分点;小型企业PMI为49.3%,比上月上升4.5个百分点,但两者均仍低于50%的临界点。"Soaring raw material prices have dealt a heavier blow to small and medium-sized enterprises, which generally have weaker pricing power and thinner financial buffers," said Bai Wenxi, vice-chairman of the China Enterprise Capital Union.中国企业资本联盟副理事长柏文喜表示,原材料价格飙升对中小企业打击更大,中小企业议价能力普遍较弱,财务缓冲能力也较为薄弱。Huang Yiping, dean of Peking University's National School of Development, said China has policy room, on both monetary and fiscal fronts, to cope with the potential economic headwinds stemming from geopolitical uncertainties in the Middle East.北京大学国家发展研究院院长黄益平表示,面对中东地缘政治不确定性可能带来的经济逆风,中国在货币和财政两方面都有政策空间予以应对。Foreign companies also remain upbeat about the long-term prospects of China's manufacturing sector.外资企业也对中国制造业的长期前景保持乐观。Markus Kamieth, CEO of German chemical company BASF, said China has moved to the forefront of intelligent manufacturing and green transformation, driven by its scale, speed and innovation capacity.德国化工企业巴斯夫执行董事会主席凯礼表示,中国凭借其规模、速度和创新能力,已在智能制造和绿色转型领域走在前列。Philippe Delorme, president and CEO

Ep 6英语新闻丨日本自卫队官员培训引中方质疑
The officer training provided by Japan's Self-Defense Forces deserves scrutiny and serious reflection, after a knife-wielding officer recently broke into the Chinese embassy in Japan, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said in Beijing on Tuesday.针对日本自卫队官员近日持刀闯入中国驻日本使馆一事,中国外交部发言人毛宁3月31日在例行记者会上表示,日本自卫队向后备干部提供何种培训,这一问题值得关注、调查和深思。At a daily news conference in Beijing, a reporter mentioned media reports saying that Kodai Murata, the SDF officer, had been handed over to prosecutors by the Japanese police recently.在当天举行的外交部例行记者会上,有记者提到,据报道,持刀闯入中国驻日本大使馆的自卫队官员已被日本警方送检。In response, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said that the incident reveals "the deep-rooted influence and grave hazards of Japan's right-wing ideology and distorted views of history".对此,毛宁回应称,此次事件暴露出日本右翼思想和扭曲历史观流毒之深、为害之大。On March 24, Murata broke into the Chinese embassy in Tokyo and threatened to kill Chinese diplomats in "the name of god".3月24日,村田晃大持刀闯入中国驻日本大使馆,并扬言"以神之名"杀害中国外交官。Mao noted that the officer's parents said he showed no radical tendencies when growing up and receiving education in his hometown, and that they had no idea at all why he had acted in this way in the incident at the embassy.毛宁指出,非法闯入中国使馆的自卫队官员的父母称他在家乡成长学习期间并没有极端表现,完全不知道他为什么要这么做。"But at the SDF, he received nine months of training for reserve officers. So the question is, during those nine months, what kind of views was he indoctrinated by the SDF and what kind of training did he receive? These questions deserve more attention, probe and deep pondering," Mao said.毛宁表示:"此人在自卫队接受9个月的后备干部培训课程,在这一过程中,自卫队到底向他灌输了什么思想,进行了什么教育?值得关注、调查和深思。"According to media reports, the National Defense Academy of Japan has an annual "tradition" of paying group visits to the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, which enshrines 14 Class-A war criminals.据报道,日本防卫大学每年有集体参拜靖国神社的“惯例”。而靖国神社供奉着14名甲级战犯。Umio Otsuka, a retired senior officer of Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force, was appointed chief priest of the Yasukuni Shrine in 2024.2024年,日本前海上自卫队高官大塚海夫就任靖国神社宫司。"This marks the first time a retired SDF admiral has assumed the highest position at the Yasukuni Shrine," Mao said.毛宁指出,这是首次由退役自卫队将领出任靖国神社最高职位。"The SDF has, over the years, invited radical far-rightist personnel who harbor hatred toward China to participate in teaching, and their textbooks are filled with content distorting and whitewashing Japan's history of aggression during World War II," she added.她表示,自卫队长期邀请极端仇华的极右翼分子参与教学,培训教材中充斥着歪曲美化二战侵略历史的内容。The spokeswoman said, "The international community needs to stay on high alert against the rightward turn of the SDF and the trend of remilitarization in Japan."毛宁强调:"日本自卫队右倾化、日本“再军事化”值得国际社会高度警惕。""China once again urges Japan to thoroughly investigate the incident and take effective measures to address the root causes and prevent such incidents from happening again," she added."中方再次敦促日方彻查事件,从根本上杜绝此类事件再次发生。"knife-wielding /ˈnaɪfˌwiːldɪŋ/持刀的be handed over to prosecutors /biːˈhændɪd ˈəʊvər tuː ˈprɒsɪkjuːtəz/被移交检方grave hazards /ɡreɪv ˈhæzədz/严重危害indoctrinate /ɪnˈdɒktrɪneɪt/灌输(思想)deep pondering /diːpˈpɒndərɪŋ/深思enshrine /ɪnˈʃraɪn/供奉;铭记admiral /ˈædmərəl/海军上将;将官far-rightist personnel /ˌfɑːˈraɪtɪst ˌpɜːsəˈnel/极右翼人员

Ep 7英语新闻丨演出市场持续升温
Concertgoers support sectors far beyond ticket sales, thanks to spillover effects大型活动带动效应显著,撬动周边消费潜力A growing number of Chinese localities are rolling out targeted policies designed to transform large-scale concerts and cultural events into fresh economic engines, as these events have emerged as catalysts that generate ripple effects across hospitality, dining, transportation and retail sectors, analysts said.分析人士指出,我国越来越多的地方政府正出台针对性政策,将大型演唱会和文化活动转化为新的经济增长引擎。这些活动已成为催化剂,对住宿、餐饮、交通和零售等行业产生连锁带动效应。The recently released outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) has identified the expansion of culture, sports and tourism consumption as a key priority, calling for optimized approval processes for commercial performances and sporting events — a signal that China's multibillion yuan concert economy is entering a new phase of quality-driven growth.日前发布的"十五五"规划(2026-2030年)纲要已将扩大文化、体育和旅游消费列为重点任务,提出优化营业性演出和体育赛事的审批流程。这标志着,中国价值数百亿元的演唱会经济正迈入以质量驱动增长的新阶段。Fans from other cities traveling for a show might spend on flights, hotels, meals, souvenirs and even extend their trips to explore local attractions, said Jiang Zhao, associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation.商务部国际贸易经济合作研究院副研究员江昭表示,跨城观演的粉丝可能会在机票、酒店、餐饮、纪念品上消费,甚至延长行程游览当地景点。"What begins as a single transaction becomes a cascade of economic activity," Jiang said.他指出:"最初的一笔交易演变为一连串的经济活动。"According to a report released in January by the China Association of Performing Arts, large-scale performances generate an average multiplier effect of 1:6.85 for other forms of consumption.据中国演出行业协会1月发布的报告,大型演出对其他消费的平均拉动效应达到1:6.85。This multiplier effect means that for every 1 yuan ($0.14) spent on a concert ticket, nearly 7 yuan of additional consumption is generated in surrounding spending scenarios.这意味着,每花费1元(约0.14美元)购买演唱会门票,就能在周边消费场景中带动近7元的额外支出。In 2025 alone, major commercial events with audiences exceeding 5,000 people drove more than 220 billion yuan in ancillary spending — including on transportation, accommodation, dining, tourism and retail — beyond direct ticket revenue, as noted by the report.报告显示,仅2025年一年,单场观众超过5000人的大型商业演出活动,在门票直接收入之外,带动了超过2200亿元的周边消费,涵盖交通、住宿、餐饮、旅游和零售等领域。In Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, when pop superstar Jay Chou took the stage for three nights there last April, he did more than entertain tens of thousands of fans.去年4月,流行巨星周杰伦在广西南宁连开三场演唱会,不仅为数万名粉丝带来欢乐,更产生了显著的经济效益。The concerts attracted 141,800 ticketed attendees and about 28,000 fans who gathered outside the concert venue to revel in the atmosphere. Notably, 85 percent of attendees traveled from outside Nanning, said Nanning Weining Group, a State-owned enterprise that manages the city's cultural and tourism assets.据管理该市文旅资产的国企南宁威宁集团介绍,这三场演唱会共吸引了14.18万名购票观众,以及约2.8万名在场外聚集感受气氛的粉丝。其中,85%的观众来自南宁市外。The three concerts generated 1.26 billion yuan in citywide consumer spending. The figure offered a vivid illustration of how major cultural events produce ripple effects across hotels, restaurants, retail and transportation — far outstripping ticket sales alone.三场演唱会期间,全市消费者总支出达12.6亿元。这一数字生动地说明了大型文化活动对酒店、餐饮、零售和交通产生的连锁效应——其影响远超门票收入本身。China's live performance market reached 96.9 billion yuan in 2025 and is projected to surpass 100 billion yuan this year, said consultancy iiMedia Research.咨询机构艾媒咨询表示,2025年中国演出市场规模达到969亿元,预计今年将突破1000亿元。Generation Z has emerged as the driving force behind China's surging concert economy, with nearly 60 percent of young consumers willing to pay for emotional value — a trend that is reshaping consumption patterns, said Tian Lihui, dean of the institute of financial development at Nankai University.南开大学金融发展研究院院长田利辉指出,Z世代已成为中国火爆演唱会经济背后的驱动力,近60%的年轻消费者愿意为情绪价值买单——这一趋势正在重塑消费模式。Cities are increasingly structuring their policies to capture these spillovers. Zhejiang province, for example, has introduced tiered rewards this year for large-scale performances based on cumulative ticket sales, revenue scale, and — crucially — the percentage of attendees traveling from outside the province.各城市正纷纷制定政策,力图抓住这些溢出效应。例如,浙江省今年针对大型演出推出了分级奖补措施,依据累计售票额、收入规模以及——至关重要的——省外观众占比进行奖励。Events that choose Zhejiang as their sole China stop, or launch their national tours in the province, may qualify for even higher support tiers.若演出选择浙江作为全国唯一站,或在浙江启动全国巡演,还可获得更高等级的支持。Guangdong province has taken steps beyond the event itself. Under new measures, the province encourages the integration of performance tickets with broader tourism experiences. A single ticket could now offer discounted or free entry to scenic areas, museums and cultural sites, while also unlocking savings at hotels, restaurants and retail outlets.广东省则采取了超越演出本身的措施。根据新规,该省鼓励演出门票与更广泛的旅游体验相结合。一张门票现在可以附带景区、博物馆和文化场所的折扣或免费入场,同时还能在酒店、餐厅和零售店享受优惠。China's concert economy is rapidly emerging as a prime investment destination, with strong momentum in physical consumption drawing sustained capital deployment into the sector. Listed companies are accelerating their entry, providin

Ep 8英语新闻丨Xi urges whole society to plant trees

That's why, along with learning international styles, we are also exploring our own traditional cultures to incorporate into street dance."“若一切标准化,便失去了魅力。因此,我们在学习国际流行风格的同时,也正在探索将中国传统文化元素融入街舞。”Other young Chinese dancers also delivered notable performances at Juste Debout 2026.本届Juste Debout赛事中,还有多位中国青少年舞者表现亮眼。According to Beijing Youth Daily, Liu Yangjunmiao reached the top eight in the junior category, and Zhang Xinlan and Zhang Chuyi advanced to the top eight in the adult popping division, becoming the only Asian duo to achieve that status.据《北京青年报》报道,刘杨峻淼跻身少儿组八强;张昕澜与张楚壹晋级成人组机械舞八强,成为该组别唯一晋级八强的亚洲组合。breakdancer /ˈbreɪkdænsər/霹雳舞者relentless /rɪˈlentləs/坚持不懈的self-disciplined /ˌselfˈdɪsəplɪnd/自律的

Jilin province was the latest to announce such reforms on March 17.旨在减轻学生负担,扩大普通高中教育资源。吉林省于3月17日成为最新宣布改革的省份。Biology and geography will no longer count toward the total zhongkao score from next year, according to a statement from the provincial education department.根据吉林省教育厅发布的通知,从明年起,生物学、地理将不再计入中考总分。The subjects will instead be assessed through open-book exams, with results presented in letter grades rather than numerical scores.而是改为开卷考试,成绩以等级形式呈现,不再采用具体分数。Similar reforms are underway nationwide.与此同时,全国多地也在推进类似改革。Huangshan in Anhui province will exclude biology and geography from zhongkao scores starting in 2027, instead requiring passing grades for admission to elite high schools.安徽黄山市明确,从2027年起,生物、地理科目不计入中考总分,但报考省级示范性普通高中的考生,相关科目需达到规定等级要求。Ji'an in Jiangxi province will introduce computer-based testing for the two subjects, with results presented as grades A through D serving as reference only.江西吉安则将这两科改为计算机考试,成绩按A、B、C、D等级呈现,仅供录取参考。Xiangtan in Hunan province has reduced scored subjects to eight with a 655-point cap, eliminating biology and geography while expanding open-book exams and admission quotas for underprivileged schools.湖南湘潭市则将中考计分科目精简为8科,总分设为655分,同时扩大开卷考试范围,并增加指标生招生名额。Gao Hang, vice-dean of the School of Education at Renmin University of China, said the model of reducing exam subjects is gaining recognition, and more regions are considering such reforms.中国人民大学教育学院副院长高杭指出,减少计分科目的改革方向已逐渐成为共识,越来越多地区正考虑跟进。The reforms typically involve three elements: converting some subjects from "exams" to "assessments", shifting from closed-book to open-book exams, and replacing numerical scores with letter grades.此类改革通常包含三方面内容:部分科目从"考试"变为"考查",从闭卷考试变为开卷考试,以及将分数制改为等级制。"These measures help reduce academic burden and school teaching pressure, and they alleviate the anxiety of 'point-by-point competition'. In the past, a single point could separate hundreds of students in ranking. Now, the obsession with scores might diminish," Gao said.高杭表示,这些措施有助于减轻学生的学业负担和学校的教学压力,缓解"分分计较"带来的焦虑感。"过去一分之差可能拉开几百名的差距,现在对分数的过度追求有望缓解。"The reforms come as the 2022 edition of the compulsory education curriculum plan introduced new requirements, including making labor education and information technology independent subjects, and strengthening modules such as artificial intelligence, national security education and rule of law education, he added.他还提到,2022年版义务教育课程方案和课程标准对改革提出了新要求,包括将劳动教育、信息科技等列为独立学科,并加强了人工智能、国家安全、法治教育等内容。Reducing the number of scored subjects, Gao said, helps create space for students to engage with new curriculum requirements without adding to exam pressure. It also serves as a "command baton" to shift the focus from score-oriented education to holistic development.减少计分科目有助于为学生腾出空间,在不增加考试压力的前提下落实新课程要求,同时也发挥"指挥棒"作用,引导教育从"唯分数"向全面发展转变。During this year's two sessions, Liu Xiya, a national lawmaker and head of the Chongqing Xiejiawan Education Group, called for further integration of curriculum subjects, noting that in some regions, primary school students study as many as 11 subjects per week, and middle school students more than 15. "Too many subjects, too finely divided, lead to excessive burden," she said.在今年全国两会上,全国人大代表、重庆谢家湾教育集团总校长刘希娅建议进一步整合课程科目。她指出,部分地区小学生每周要学11门课,初中生则超过15门,科目过多、过细,加重了学生负担。Gao acknowledged that shifting away from a deeply entrenched culture of score-chasing will take time.高杭坦言,改变"唯分数"的积习仍需时间。"Standardized testing still has value, especially in ensuring fairness. The challenge is to balance that with the goal of fostering well-rounded development. What we're doing now is correcting the direction, but returning to the desired state will take time," he said."标准化考试仍有其价值,尤其是在保障公平性方面。关键是如何平衡公平与促进学生全面发展的目标。当前我们正在校正方向,但要回归理想状态,仍需要一个过程。"Alongside the reduction in exam subjects, multiple regions are expanding general high school capacity and increasing admission quotas.在减少计分科目的同时,多地也在扩大普通高中学位供给。Xiangtan's reform plan explicitly abolishes the previous vocational-general ratio limit, aiming to gradually increase the proportion of students entering general high schools.湘潭市的改革方案明确取消了之前的"职普比"限制,提出逐步提高普通高中录取比例。Fear of entering secondary vocational schools has been a source of anxiety and intense competition among students and parents, as many still view them as inferior to general high schools.长期以来,家长和学生普遍对进入中职学校存有焦虑,认为职业教育低于普通高中。Jilin province has also committed to expanding general high school enrollment and abolishing the vocational-general ratio limit, ensuring students' right to choose.吉林省也明确将扩大普通高中招生规模,取消"职普比"限制,保障学生自主选择权。In January, Shengsi county in Zhoushan, Zhejiang province, drew national att

Ep 15英语新闻丨"词元"激增预示新机遇
The artificial intelligence surge is rapidly reshaping China's digital economy. On Tuesday, a senior official in charge of data security pointed to an explosion in "tokens" as both a barometer of growth and a new export frontier.人工智能的迅猛发展正在重塑中国的数字经济。3月24日,国家数据局局长刘烈宏在国新办发布会上指出,“词元”(Token)的爆发式增长既是衡量行业发展的晴雨表,也正成为新的出口前沿领域。Liu Liehong, head of the National Data Administration, said that daily consumption of tokens — tiny data units used by AI models — had surpassed 140 trillion as of March, a more than 1,000-fold increase from the 100 billion recorded at the beginning of 2024 and over 40 percent higher than the 100 trillion recorded at the end of last year.刘烈宏表示,截至今年3月,全国日均词元调用量已超过140万亿,较2024年初的1000亿增长逾千倍,较去年底的100万亿增长超过40%。词元是人工智能模型所使用的微型数据单元。"The surge signals that China's AI industry is expanding quickly and evolving from basic chat functions to more sophisticated systems capable of decision-making and task execution," Liu said.刘烈宏指出:“这一激增表明,中国人工智能产业正快速扩张,从基础对话功能向具备决策与任务执行能力的复杂系统演进。”Liu made the remarks on Tuesday at a news conference held by the State Council Information Office to announce the 9th Digital China Summit, which will take place from April 29 to 30 in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian province.3月24日,刘烈宏在国务院新闻办公室举行的发布会上作出上述表述。此次发布会宣布,第九届数字中国建设峰会将于4月29日至30日在福建省福州市举办。Nearly 400 leading companies, including China Southern Power Grid and Alibaba Group, will introduce their latest technologies and products at the event. The summit will showcase nearly 100 exemplary cases of data element integration across agriculture, industrial manufacturing, healthcare, culture and tourism, with over 65 percent of the exhibits making their debut.包括南方电网、阿里巴巴集团在内的近400家领军企业将在峰会期间展示最新技术和产品。峰会将集中展示近百个数据要素融合典型应用案例,涵盖农业、工业制造、医疗、文旅等领域,其中超65%的展品为首次亮相。At the news conference, Liu announced that the government's next step for developing data elements will be to establish a unified national system for registering data property rights and roll out policies to build an integrated national data market and promote data infrastructure development. He emphasized that "token exports", a term gaining traction in the industry, are a visible marker of this shift for China.在发布会上,刘烈宏介绍了国家数据要素发展的下一步举措:将建立全国统一的数据产权登记体系,出台建设全国一体化数据市场的政策文件,推动数据基础设施建设。他强调,业界热议的“词元出海”正是中国这一转型的显性标志。At the heart of the trend lies a new economic logic. China is converting electricity into AI computing power and selling it globally in the form of tokens. The tokens measure how AI models read and generate the amount of text. The AI models are powered by China's computing power, and behind this computing power is China's massive reserves of electricity.这一趋势的核心在于新的商业逻辑。中国正将电力转化为人工智能算力,并以“词元”的形式销往全球。词元用于衡量人工智能模型读取和生成文本的数量,这些模型由中国算力驱动,而算力背后则是中国庞大的电力储备。While raw electricity exported from China fetches about 0.5 yuan ($0.07) per kilowatt-hour, industry estimates suggest that converting that same energy into AI processing services can increase its value by up to 22 times.中国出口的电力原煤每千瓦时约0.5元,而业内估算显示,将同等能源转化为人工智能处理服务后,其价值可提升至22倍。A new value chain is rapidly taking shape around token generation, distribution and billing, offering one of the clearest pathways yet for AI monetization.围绕词元的调用、分发与结算,一条新的价值链正在快速成形,为人工智能商业化提供了迄今为止最清晰的路径之一。Wang Peng, a researcher at the Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, said: "This pathway lowers the entry barrier for global users. Competitively priced tokens allow small businesses, independent developers and users in emerging markets to access AI tools that were once out of reach."北京市社会科学院研究员王鹏表示:“这种路径降低了全球用户的使用门槛。具有竞争力的词元定价,让中小企业、独立开发者以及新兴市场用户能够获得曾经难以企及的人工智能工具。”Notably, China's western regions provide abundant low-cost renewable energy. The country has also built a vertically integrated supply chain spanning ultra-high-voltage transmission equipment, liquid-cooled data centers and server assembly — a combination that few rivals can match.值得注意的是,中国西部地区拥有丰富的低成本可再生能源。中国还构建了涵盖特高压输电设备、液冷数据中心、服务器组装的垂直整合供应链,这种组合优势少有竞争对手能及。Shi Yuxia, a senior engineer at the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, said: "The cost advantage of Chinese tokens over foreign competitors is not just down to electricity prices. It is a combination of energy cost advantages, improved AI capabilities and supply chain dominance."中国信息通信研究院高级工程师石雨霞表示:“中国词元相较海外竞争对手的成本优势不仅在于电价,更是能源成本优势、人工智能能力提升与供应链主导地位的综合体现。”barometer /bəˈrɒmɪtə(r)/晴雨表sophisticated /səˈfɪstɪkeɪtɪd/复杂的;精密的data property rights /ˈdeɪtə ˈprɒpəti raɪts/数据产权token exports /ˈtəʊkən ˈekspɔːts/词元出海reserves of electricity /rɪˈzɜːvz əv ɪˌlekˈtrɪsəti/电力储备

China's top internet regulator announced on Saturday a new initiative to standardize the labeling of short video content, aiming to curb the spread of misleading information and maintain a healthy online environment.国家互联网信息办公室3月21日发布新规,要求规范短视频内容标注,遏制虚假信息传播,维护清朗网络空间。The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) stated that inconsistent labeling standards across various platforms have allowed fictionalized narratives, staged marketing and AI-generated content to go unlabeled, misleading the public and disrupting social order.中央网信办指出,由于各平台标注标准不一,导致虚构剧情、摆拍营销、AI生成等内容未作标注,严重误导公众认知,扰乱社会秩序。Under the proposed guidelines, platforms must standardize mandatory tag categories and make labeling a compulsory step in the publishing process. Beyond new uploads, the regulator will also require platforms to retroactively tag existing content to ensure universal compliance.根据中央网信办的部署,各平台须规范强制标注类别,并将标注设定为发布流程中的强制环节。除新增内容外,平台还需对存量内容进行回溯标注,确保全面合规。Six major platforms — Douyin, Kuaishou, Tencent, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili and Weibo — have begun retrospective action, removing more than 37,000 misleading or staged videos and penalizing over 3,400 accounts. Approximately 600,000 videos have been updated with appropriate labels, while the platforms have also optimized their interfaces to ensure ease of use for creators.抖音、快手、腾讯、小红书、哔哩哔哩、微博等六家重点平台已开展存量标注工作,累计清理虚假或摆拍内容3.7万余条,处罚账号3400余个,补充标注短视频60余万条,并同步优化发布界面,方便用户进行标注。The CAC stated that it will soon be issuing a clear timeline for the implementation of the requirements nationwide, while the regulator warned that it will conduct inspections to gather evidence and will strictly penalize and publicly expose accounts or platforms that fail to comply with the new labeling standards.下一步,中央网信办将明确具体工作要求和工作进度安排,在全国范围内统一部署推进规范短视频内容标注工作,并同步开展巡查取证,严惩未按要求进行标注的账号和主体责任落实不力的网站平台,公开进行曝光。curb /kɜːrb/遏制staged marketing /steɪdʒd ˈmɑːrkɪtɪŋ/摆拍营销retroactively /ˌretroʊˈæktɪvli/追溯地;有追溯效力地

Relocated residents praise life in city as schools, public services continue to grow搬迁居民点赞新生活公共服务配套持续完善For Zhu Fuqiang, an employee of China Huaneng Group and an avid runner, the appeal of life in the Xiong'an New Area is measured in kilometers of well-maintained tracks and easy access to green space.对于中国华能集团员工、酷爱跑步的朱富强而言,雄安新区的吸引力在于这里四通八达的健身步道和触手可及的绿色空间。"The sports facilities here are excellent, and there are so many green spaces," said Zhu, who often runs in the Central Green Valley Park near his office.他常在办公室附近的中央绿谷公园跑步:"这里的体育设施很棒,绿化空间非常多。"The simple pleasure is part of a larger life change. Zhu moved to Xiong'an from Beijing last autumn, when the central State-owned enterprise relocated its headquarters and more than 1,000 employees to the new area.这种简单的惬意是其生活变迁的缩影。去年秋天,当这家中央企业将总部及千余名员工迁至雄安时,朱富强随同从北京来到新区。On Monday, Zhu became one of the company employees who got the chance to speak with President Xi Jinping during his inspection tour to Xiong'an.3月23日,朱富强作为企业员工代表,在习近平总书记考察雄安期间与总书记面对面交流。"I was thrilled and deeply inspired to listen to the president's remarks up close, and Xi's encouragement to take pride in being part of Xiong'an resonates deeply with me," said Zhu, whose wife and younger son have also settled in Xiong'an. He said he was satisfied with life here and ready to better integrate into Xiong'an's development."能够近距离聆听总书记讲话,我倍感振奋、深受鼓舞。总书记勉励大家以参与雄安建设为荣,这话说到了我心坎里,"如今,他的妻子和小儿子也已在雄安定居,朱富强表示,他对这里的生活很满意,已准备好更深度融入雄安发展。As a "millennium plan" and a project with national significance, the Xiong'an New Area, about 100 kilometers southwest of Beijing, has been designed to relieve Beijing of functions that are nonessential to its role as the nation's capital, and to boost the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.作为"千年大计"、国家大事,位于北京西南约100公里处的雄安新区,被赋予疏解北京非首都功能、推动京津冀协同发展的使命。Since China announced plans to establish the Xiong'an New Area in April 2017, it has evolved from a blueprint into a vibrant city. Xi's trip on Monday marked his fourth inspection tour of Xiong'an in nine years.自2017年4月国家宣布设立雄安新区以来,这座新城已从蓝图蜕变为活力之城。此次是习近平总书记九年来第四次考察雄安。Shen Yan, head of Beijing Jiaotong University's Xiong'an campus construction office, was also present during Xi's address to representatives from relocated organizations at Huaneng.北京交通大学雄安校区建设办公室主任沈岩,当天也在华能集团现场聆听了总书记对疏解单位代表的讲话。President Xi's speech reinforced the university's view of the relocation as a historic opportunity, he said.他表示,总书记的讲话让校方更加坚定了搬迁是历史性机遇的信念。To mark a new chapter, the university will celebrate the 130th anniversary of its founding at the Xiong'an campus in September, inviting alumni to see the site's progress firsthand, Shen added.沈岩透露,为开启新篇章,学校将于九月在雄安校区举办建校130周年庆典,邀请校友实地感受建设进展。The university's relocation follows a clear timeline: About 1,000 students will begin studies at the new campus by March next year, with an additional 5,000 joining by September 2027. The large-scale move will conclude by September 2028, eventually accommodating nearly 20,000 faculty members and students.该校搬迁时间表清晰:明年3月首批约千名学生入驻,2027年9月再增5000人,2028年9月完成大规模搬迁,最终校区师生规模将达近2万人。"Building our new campus is building Xiong'an," Shen said. "It is a commitment to the future.""建设新校区就是建设雄安,这是我们对未来的承诺。"沈岩表示。To date, eight central SOE headquarters have either fully relocated or are accelerating the construction of their offices in Xiong'an, and more than 4,000 Beijing-based companies have established a presence in the new area.目前,已有8家央企总部全面或加速推进在雄安建设,超4000家北京来源企业在新区扎根。In addition, four Beijing universities have broken ground for their Xiong'an campuses, and two hospitals are building new branches here.此外,4所北京高校雄安校区已破土动工,2所医院正建设新院区。This influx is physically transforming the skyline, with more than 5,300 buildings now standing where fields once lay.随着疏解加速,昔日的田野间已矗立起5300余栋建筑,城市天际线日新月异。While chairing a symposium on Monday afternoon on further advancing the high-quality construction and development of the new area, Xi acknowledged that important progress has been achieved, and he emphasized the need to firmly uphold Xiong'an's positioning as the major recipient of Beijing's noncapital functions.当天下午,习近平总书记主持召开深入推进雄安新区高质量建设和发展座谈会,肯定新区建设已取得重要阶段性成果,并要求牢牢把握雄安新区作为北京非首都功能疏解集中承载地的定位。To step up efforts to improve public services and safeguard and enhance the well-being of local residents, Xiong'an has put into operation 105 schools and kindergartens, 80 elderly care service facilities and 43 community activity centers.为提升公共服务水平、持续增进民生福祉,雄安新区已开办学校及幼儿园105所、养老服务机构80家、社区活动中心43处。The Xiong'an campus of Beijing No 4 High School opened in August 2023, and its student enrollment has grown from an initial 49 to nearly 400. Huang Chun, principal of the campus, accompanied Xi during his visit to the campus on Monday.北京四中雄安校区于2023年8月投用,在校生从最初的49人增至近400人。校长黄春23日陪同总书记考察校园。Huang said the president showed great care for the students, asking in detail about their lives and studies.

China's top economic planner announced on Monday that it is taking temporary control measures on domestic gasoline and diesel prices to shield the economy and consumers from a recent abnormal spike in international crude oil prices.国家发展和改革委员会3月23日宣布,为保障经济和消费者免受近期国际原油价格异常飙升的冲击,将对国内汽油、柴油价格采取临时调控措施。Starting at midnight on Monday, the retail prices of gasoline and diesel will see a moderated increase of 1,160 yuan ($163) and 1,115 yuan per metric ton, respectively, according to the National Development and Reform Commission.根据国家发展改革委发布的通知,自3月23日24时起,国内汽油、柴油零售价将适度上调,每吨分别上涨1160元和1115元。Under the country's existing pricing mechanism, the sharp rise in global oil prices—driven by escalating geopolitical conflicts, would have triggered a much steeper hike of 2,205 yuan per ton for gasoline and 2,120 yuan per ton for diesel.根据现行价格机制计算,受地缘政治冲突加剧影响,国际油价持续飙升,原本汽、柴油价格每吨分别应上调2205元和2120元。The NDRC stated that this temporary intervention, executed within the framework of the current pricing mechanism, is designed to mitigate the impact of extreme global market fluctuations. The move aims to ease the financial burden on downstream users, ensure the smooth operation of the macroeconomy, and safeguard people's basic livelihoods.国家发改委表示,此次在现行价格机制框架内实施的临时调控措施,旨在有效减缓国际油价异常上涨带来的冲击,减轻下游用户负担,保障经济平稳运行和社会民生。To maintain market stability, the commission has directed major oil production and sales enterprises to optimize their operations, coordinate transport, and guarantee an adequate market supply of refined oil.国家发展改革委将指导成品油生产销售企业全力做好成品油生产组织调运,保障市场供应。Furthermore, the NDRC pledged to work closely with relevant departments to intensify market supervision.

The suspect, surnamed Xie, was confirmed to be the woman known as "Meiyi", a central figure in the case.广州市公安局表示,此次抓捕标志着张维平等系列拐卖儿童案取得重大突破。嫌疑人姓谢,经确认即为该案核心人物"梅姨"。During questioning, Xie confessed to trafficking children, police said. She has been detained, and the case remains under investigation.警方称,审讯期间谢某供认了拐卖儿童的犯罪事实。目前谢某已被刑事拘留,案件正在进一步侦办中。The case dates back to between September 2003 and December 2005, when several children were abducted in locations including Zengcheng in Guangzhou and Boluo in Huizhou, both in Guangdong.该案可追溯至2003年9月至2005年12月期间,当时在广州市增城区、惠州市博罗县等地发生多起儿童被拐案件。After the crimes were reported, the Ministry of Public Security and the Guangdong provincial public security department listed the case as a major supervised investigation. A joint task force comprising provincial, municipal and district police was established.案件上报后,公安部和广东省公安厅将该系列案列为挂牌督办案件,并成立由省、市、区三级警方组成的专案组。In 2016, police arrested Zhang Weiping and four other suspects. Zhang admitted to abducting and trafficking children and told investigators the children had been sold through "Meiyi".2016年,警方抓获张维平等5名犯罪嫌疑人。张维平供认了拐卖儿童的罪行,并交代被拐儿童均通过"梅姨"联系贩卖。In June 2017, Guangzhou police released the first composite sketch of "Meiyi" and offered a reward for information.2017年6月,广州警方首次公布"梅姨"模拟画像,并悬赏征集线索。In December 2018, the Guangzhou Intermediate People's Court sentenced Zhang Weiping and Zhou Rongping to death for child trafficking, deprived them of political rights for life, and ordered the confiscation of all personal property.2018年12月,广州市中级人民法院以拐卖儿童罪判处张维平、周容平死刑,剥夺政治权利终身,并处没收个人全部财产。In December 2021, the Guangdong Higher People's Court upheld the death sentences on appeal. Two other defendants were sentenced to life imprisonment, and one received a 10-year prison term.2021年12月,广东省高级人民法院二审维持死刑判决。另有两名被告人被判处无期徒刑,一名被告人被判处有期徒刑十年。Under Article 240 of China's Criminal Law, trafficking women and children refers to acts committed for the purpose of sale, including abduction, kidnapping, purchase, sale, transport, or transfer of women or children. The crime is punishable by fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years and a fine, while especially serious cases may carry the death penalty along with confiscation of property.根据我国刑法第二百四十条规定,拐卖妇女、儿童罪是指以出卖为目的,有拐骗、绑架、收买、贩卖、接送、中转妇女、儿童的行为之一的犯罪行为。该罪可处五年以上有期徒刑并处罚金,情节特别严重者可处死刑并处没收财产。As part of efforts to reunite separated families, the task force worked with victims' families and other groups to continue searching for the missing children. Between 2019 and 2024, all of the trafficked children in the case were found and reunited with their families.为帮助失散家庭团聚,专案组与受害人家属及其他组织合作,持续开展被拐儿童查找工作。2019年至2024年间,该案中被拐儿童已全部找回并与家人团聚。In April 2023, Zhang and other principal offenders were executed. However, because the true identity of "Meiyi" remained unknown, the woman at the center of the case had not been brought to justice.2023年4月,张维平等主犯被执行死刑。但由于"梅姨"真实身份一直未能查明,该案核心人物始终未归案。Police said investigators continued to revisit locations, follow up on leads, publish sketches and solicit tips from the public over the years. In 2025, the task force identified a woman surnamed Xie whose features closely matched those associated with "Meiyi". Further verification confirmed her identity.警方表示,多年来侦查人员持续开展走访调查、线索追查、画像发布和线索征集工作。2025年,专案组发现一名谢姓女子与"梅姨"特征高度吻合,经进一步核实确认其身份。The case drew national attention, in part, because of the long search by the parents. The arrest of Xie marks a significant development in a case that has haunted many families for years, underscoring the long and difficult road parents have taken in their search for justice and reunion.该案备受全国关注,部分原因在于被拐儿童家长长达多年的寻子历程。谢某的落网标志着这起令众多家庭牵挂多年的案件取得重大进展,也见证了家长们在寻求正义与团圆道路上的漫长艰辛。One of the victims, Shen Cong, was abducted from a rental home in Zengcheng, Guangzhou, in January 2005 and trafficked to Zijin county in Heyuan, Guangdong. He was found in March 2020. Shen's father, Shen Junliang, said he was deeply moved upon learning of Xie's arrest.其中一名被拐儿童申聪于2005年1月在广州增城出租屋内被拐走,后被贩卖至广东河源紫金县,于2020年3月被找到。申聪父亲申军良得知谢某落网的消息后表示深受触动。"When I heard the news, my heart was pounding," he said, adding that he had spent years pursuing clues related to "Meiyi"."听到这个消息时,我的心快跳出来了。"申军良说,他多年来一直在追查"梅姨"的相关线索。Another parent, Zhong Dingyou, whose son Zhong Bin was also among the victims, said the news brought mixed emotions after two decades of searching.另一名被拐儿童钟彬的父亲钟丁酉表示,在寻子二十载后得知这一消息,心中百感交集。"I felt excited and relieved, but at the same time, I could not fully feel happy," he said.

Ep 24英语新闻丨质疑对伊开战,刚刚辞职的美反恐高官被曝遭FBI调查
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating former counterterrorism official Joe Kent, who resigned in protest over the Iran war, US media reported Wednesday.美国媒体周三报道,联邦调查局正在调查前反恐官员乔·肯特,此人因抗议对伊朗开战而辞职。The bureau's investigation was underway before Kent resigned Tuesday as director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said News Nation, citing a source.据News Nation援引消息人士称,在肯特周二辞去国家反恐中心主任职务之前,联邦调查局就已经在展开调查。"Joe Kent is under FBI investigation for allegedly leaking classified information, three sources tell me. I'm told the investigation pre-dates his departure," Shelby Talcott, White House correspondent for news website Semafor, wrote in a post on X.新闻网站Semafor驻白宫记者谢尔比·塔尔科特在X平台上发帖称:“三位消息人士告诉我,乔·肯特因涉嫌泄露机密信息而接受联邦调查局的调查。我被告知,这项调查在他离职之前就开始了。”Tuesday, Kent announced on X that he has decided to resign from his position as he "cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war with Iran."周二,肯特在X平台上宣布,他决定辞去职务,因为他“无法凭良心支持正在进行的对伊战争”。"Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby," he wrote in the post.他在帖子中写道:“伊朗并未对我们的国家构成迫在眉睫的威胁,而且很明显,我们发动这场战争是因为以色列及其强大的美国游说集团施加的压力。”Kent noted that early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined President Donald Trump's America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran.肯特指出,在本届政府执政初期,以色列高级官员和美国有影响力的媒体成员发动了一场虚假信息宣传,完全破坏了总统唐纳德·特朗普的“美国优先”方针,并煽动战争情绪,以鼓动对伊朗开战。Analysts say the resignation of a top US counterterrorism official signals mounting pressure on the Trump administration over the Iran war, amid intensifying criticism from Democratic lawmakers, business leaders, and even segments of his own support base.分析人士表示,一名美国高级反恐官员的辞职,标志着特朗普政府在伊朗战争问题上面临的压力越来越大,来自民主党议员、商界领袖、甚至部分特朗普自身支持基础的批评也日益激烈。Recent polls show that a significant portion of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) supporters continue to back Trump's military actions against Iran. Meanwhile, several key MAGA opinion leaders have publicly voiced their opposition, including Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon.最近的民意调查显示,相当一部分“让美国再次伟大”的支持者仍然支持特朗普对伊朗的军事行动。与此同时,几位关键的“让美国再次伟大”意见领袖已公开表示反对,其中包括特朗普的前首席策略师史蒂夫·班农。resignation /ˌrezɪɡˈneɪʃən/ n. 辞职classified /ˈklæsɪfaɪd/ adj. 机密的misinformation /ˌmɪsɪnfərˈmeɪʃən/ n. 虚假信息lobby /ˈlɒbi/ n. 游说集团

Ep 25英语新闻丨放松身心的“色彩漫步”风靡社交媒体
A new trend of young people battling stress by rediscovering beauty in their surroundings is sweeping through Chinese social media, amassing millions of views on platforms such as Dou yin and Xiao hong shu.通过在周边环境中重新发现美来缓解压力,这一新趋势正在中国社交媒体上流行开来,在抖音和小红书等平台上积累了数百万浏览量。Color Walk, as it is called, involves participants selecting a specific color theme before heading out and then documenting everything that matches the chosen shade during a leisurely stroll through a neighborhood, or even during daily commuting.Color Walk(色彩漫步)指的是参与者先选定一个颜色主题,然后在街区悠闲散步甚至日常通勤时,记录下与该颜色相关的一切。Yang Zheng, 29, who works in the publishing industry in Qingdao, Shandong province, said the idea of Color Walk had thrilling resonance when she first came across it on Dou yin. "Whether one is experiencing cultural settings or passing through natural scenery, it's a great thing to share," she said.29岁的杨铮在山东省青岛市从事出版行业。她说,当她在抖音上第一次看到Color Walk的想法时,产生了强烈的共鸣。"无论是在文化氛围中还是在自然风光中,分享都是一件很棒的事情,"她说。A week ago, Yang started a Color-Walk sharing group on WeChat, which has since attracted about 45 members, mostly from Generation Z. Every evening, the group decides on a "Color of the Day" and members share photos matching the theme.一周前,杨铮在微信上成立了一个色彩漫步分享群,吸引了约45名成员,其中大多数是Z世代。每天晚上,群里决定一个"今日颜色",成员们分享与主题相符的照片。The activity is aimed at helping people rediscover amusement in their otherwise monotonous lives, she said, adding that it also helps participants unwind and relieve stress.她说,这项活动旨在帮助人们在原本单调的生活中重新发现乐趣,并补充说,这也有助于参与者放松身心,缓解压力。Yang cited her own example. A few days ago, when she got carsick on her way home from work, she remembered the day's Color Walk theme and started looking for matches in the passing scenery outside the window.杨铮以自己为例。几天前,她在下班回家的路上晕车,她想起了当天的色彩漫步主题,开始在窗外的风景中寻找相匹配的颜色。"Quite unexpectedly, it slowly relieved my motion sickness. In addition, I also happened to notice things that I had barely noticed before," she said."出乎意料的是,它慢慢地缓解了我的晕车。此外,我也注意到了以前几乎没有注意到的东西,"她说。Hu, a 19-year-old university student in Lu'an, Anhui province, was drawn to Color Walk as a natural extension of his love for documenting life.胡先生是安徽省六安市的一名19岁大学生,他被色彩漫步吸引,因为这满足了他对记录生活的热爱。"It lets me record my days in a more interesting way," he said, adding that the activity's core appeal lies in its ability to arouse people's love for life. "We usually overlook many small details in our everyday life, like say a fire hydrant, which becomes more visible during a Color Walk themed 'red'. It makes our ordinary feel a little extraordinary."他说:"这让我以一种更有趣的方式记录我的生活。"他补充说,这项活动的核心吸引力在于它能唤起人们对生活的热爱。"我们通常忽略了日常生活中的许多小细节,比如消防栓,在以'红色'为主题的色彩漫步中,消防栓变得更加显眼。它让我们的平凡感觉有点不平凡。"Xu Gaoyang, a psychotherapist at Beijing Anding Hospital of Capital Medical University, said the activity is a practical application of a psychological technique known as "grounding", which has two objectives — actively diverting attention and setting a small, controllable goal.首都医科大学附属北京安定医院心理治疗师徐高阳表示,这项活动是一种被称为"接地气"的心理技术的实际应用,它有两个目标——积极转移注意力和设定一个可控的小目标。"Think of our mood as an airplane. When it hits turbulence, 'grounding' helps it land steadily. By fixing our attention on something in the external environment — in this case, a color — we can quickly anchor ourselves in the present moment, leading to a sense of stability and calm," he said.他说:"把我们的情绪想象成一架飞机。当它遇到湍流时,'接地气'帮助它平稳着陆。通过将注意力集中在外部环境的某个东西上——比如一种颜色——我们可以迅速让自己扎根于当下,从而产生稳定和冷静的感觉。"Physiological effects生理效应Xu noted that different colors can have varied physiological effects. Cooler tones, such as blue and green, tend to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, slowing heart rate and promoting relaxation. Warmer colors, such as red and orange, can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, boosting energy and alertness.徐高阳指出,不同的颜色会产生不同的生理效应。较冷的色调,如蓝色和绿色,往往会激活副交感神经系统,减缓心率,促进放松。较暖的颜色,如红色和橙色,可以刺激交感神经系统,增加能量和警觉性。Choosing a theme color and engaging with one's surroundings provides a sense of control and self-care that is often more significant than the color itself, he said.他说,选择一个主题色并与周围环境互动会带来一种控制感和自我关怀,这往往比颜色本身更重要。According to Xu, young people today experience a kind of "purpose fatigue", as they are inundated by achievement-oriented goals, career pressures and societal expectations. As a result, they are creating activities that seem purposeful, but at the same time are not very demanding and allow them the opportunity to relax, he added.徐高阳称,如今的年轻人经历着一种"目标疲劳",因为他们被以成就为导向的目标、职业压力和社会期望所淹没。他补充说,因此,他们正在创造一些看似有目的,但同时又要求不高,让他们有机会放松的活动。Wang Wenda, director of psychological health education at Xinhua College of Ningxia University, said these small goals and actions activate the brain's drive, and the sense of achievement from completing minor tasks helps alleviate feelings of powerlessness while enhancing self-efficacy.宁夏大学新华学院大学生心理健康教育教研室主任王文达表示,这些小目标和行动激活了大脑的动力,完成小任务带来的成就感有助于减轻无力感,同时提高自我效能感。The popularity of Color Walk reflects a broader shift among young people, as it is a low-cost, easily accessible and achievable positive experience, Wang said.王文达说,色彩漫步的流行反映了年轻人的一个更广泛的转变,因为它是一种低
