Ep 1英语新闻|黄桃罐头卖断货!专家提醒:可能加重咳嗽
英语新闻|黄桃罐头卖断货!专家提醒:可能加重咳嗽With the changing epidemic situation, various tips and suggestions have appeared on social media. In the midst of all the comments, one voice was particularly loud: "It is suggested that canned yellow peaches be included in medical insurance". 随着疫情的变化,各种建议和康复指导开始出现在社交媒体上。在众多评论中,有一个声音特别响亮: “建议将黄桃罐头纳入医疗保险”。The canned yellow peach belongs to the "comfort foods" of a generation to some extent. "Comfort foods" is a saying that all countries have, or can be understood as "healing food", which is defined as "food that can provide nostalgic or emotional value". Experts remind us that, although canned yellow peaches are rich in nutrients, they cannot relieve the symptoms of the disease. Do not eat them when you have a cough, as it may aggravate symptoms.当然,黄桃罐头其实并无实际药效,只是一种“安慰食品” ,也就是一种为人们提供情感价值的食物。专家提醒,黄桃罐头虽然营养丰富,但无法缓解疾病症状。尤其是咳嗽时不要食用,还可能会加重症状。Canned yellow peaches are indeed a childhood memory for many. There is a northern "superstition" circulated on the internet a few years ago: regardless of the seriousness of the disease, it is helpful to eat a canned yellow peach. 黄桃罐头确实是很多人的童年回忆。在我国东北地区,很多人小时候总听说,“不管病得有多重,吃个黄桃罐头就好了”。几年前,黄桃罐头的“神奇功效”就已随着互联网广泛流传。In the 1970s and 1980s, canned peaches were a "valuable food" in the north. For ordinary families, they could only share and enjoy peaches when visiting relatives and friends, or during the Spring Festival. During these “special periods” of time, children were “sick” so they could receive a special can of peaches.在20世纪70年代和80年代,罐头在北方仍是很宝贵的食物。对于普通家庭来说,只有在走访亲戚朋友或者春节期间才舍得拿出。普通家庭的孩子只有在“特殊时期”才能吃到,比如生病的时候。When children were sick and unwilling to take very bitter medicines, parents would entice the child with a can of yellow peaches. As time went on, eating canned yellow peaches when sick had become a sweet memory and habit of generations.当孩子生病不愿意吃那些很苦的药时,父母就会拿出甜甜的黄桃罐头。随着时间的推移,生病就吃黄桃罐头成为了一代又一代人的甜蜜记忆和习惯。In addition, people of the older generation also have certain superstitions about peaches. The ancients believed that peach branches could exorcise evil spirits, and peaches represented "health and longevity". In addition, in the Chinese phonetic alphabet, "peach" has the same pronunciation as "escape". 此外,老一辈的人对“桃”这种水果也有一定的迷信。古人认为,桃枝可以驱邪,桃子也可以暗示“健康和长寿”。同时,在汉语拼音中,“桃”与“逃”的发音相同。编辑:朱迪齐实习生:张婉诗来源:中国日报 人民网 三联生活周刊aggravate英[ˈæɡrəveɪt];美[ˈæɡrəveɪt]v.加重superstition英[ˌsuːpəˈstɪʃn];美[ˌsuːpərˈstɪʃn]n.迷信exorcise英['eksɔ:saɪz];美['eksɔˌsaɪz]v.(用祈祷等)驱除(恶魔)

Steeped or boiled tea is served in homes, workplaces, tea houses, restaurants and temples, and used as an important medium for communication in socializing and ceremonies.正如文化和旅游部提交给联合国教科文组织的一份文件所述,茶在中国人的日常生活中无处不在。泡茶、煮茶常见于家庭、工作场所、茶馆、餐馆和寺庙,是社交和仪式中重要的交流媒介。Tea-related customs are not only found across the country, but also have influenced the rest of the world through the ancient Silk Road and trade routes.全国各地都有与茶有关的习俗,这些习俗也通过古丝绸之路和贸易路线影响了其他国家。China has 43 items on the intangible cultural heritage list, the highest among all countries.目前,我国共有43个项目列入联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录、名册,居世界第一。记者:曹德胜intangible英[ɪnˈtændʒəbl];美[ɪnˈtændʒəbl]adj.无形的,难以度量的ubiquitous英[juːˈbɪkwɪtəs];美[juːˈbɪkwɪtəs]adj.无所不在的cohesion英[kəʊˈhiːʒn];美[koʊˈhiːʒn]n.团结,凝聚力

Ep 1英语新闻|马斯克把办公室改造成“卧室”:方便员工加班
英语新闻|马斯克把办公室改造成“卧室”:方便员工加班Elon Musk's "extremely hardcore" vision for Twitter seems to have manifested itself in sad little conference room sleeping quarters at the company's recently depopulated headquarters.据福布斯12月5日报道,埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 将推特 (Twitter) 总部的部分办公室改造成了“卧室”。A photo of one converted bedroom showed bright orange carpeting, a wooden bedside table and what appears to be a queen bed, replete with a table lamp and two office armchairs just begging for social workplace collaboration.据悉,改装的卧室照片中可以看到一个明亮的橙色地毯、木质的床头柜和一张大号床,同时还配有一盏台灯和两把办公扶手椅。One source said that no announcement or context was provided to employees, and presumed that the beds are for remaining "hardcore" staffers to be able to stay overnight at the office. "It's not a good look," they said. "It's yet another unspoken sign of disrespect. There is no discussion. Just like, beds showed up."一位知情人士称,员工们没有收到任何关于这些改动的公告或消息。他还推测这些床位是为了能让留下的“硬核”员工可以在办公室过夜。但知情人士表示,这又是一个“不尊重人的表现”,没有任何讨论,床就已经出现了。It is unclear how many such bedroom pods exist, but the source, whose identity Forbes is withholding over the fear of reprisal, speculated that there were maybe "four to eight per floor," adding "they look comfortable."目前尚不清楚共有多少间办公室被改造成了卧室,但这位匿名的知情人士称,每层楼可能有四到八间卧室,并且它们看起来很舒服。Another source, who was similarly granted anonymity, added that several of the rooms were on a floor that was largely empty. They noted that there was trash in one room’s trash can, which made it seem like someone had stayed there. “People are already putting in late nights, so it makes sense to an extent,” the source said.另一位知情人士补充说,一些房间位于一个基本是空着的楼层上。但他们注意到其中一个房间有垃圾桶的使用痕迹,好像有人已经住过了。“人们已经在熬夜了,所以某种程度上这么做是有道理的。”该人士说。Hundreds of employees reportedly departed after Musk warned that Twitter would be shifting to an "extremely hardcore" work schedule that would require late nights at the office. Employees were required to "opt-in" to signal they agreed with the approach if they wanted to keep their jobs.据报道,在马斯克警告推特将转向“极其硬核”的工作时间并需要在办公室熬夜后,又有数百名员工离职。如果员工想保住工作,他们需要“选择加入”,以表示同意该做法。Twitter’s CEO did not respond to a request for comment, nor did its communications department, which appears to have been completely disbanded since Musk’s takeover.Twitter的首席执行官没有回应置评请求,其通信部门也没有回应,该部门似乎在马斯克接管后已完全解散。Hardcore 英[ˈhɑːdkɔː(r)];美[ˈhɑrdˌkor]Adj.硬核的Disband英[dɪsˈbænd];美[dɪsˈbænd]v. 解散anonymity 英[ˌænəˈnɪməti];美[ˌænəˈnɪməti]n. 匿名

His remains were cremated on Dec 5 in Beijing, followed by a grand memorial meeting the next day to mourn and pay respect to him.江泽民是我党我军我国各族人民公认的享有崇高威望的卓越领导人。江泽民同志的遗体5日在北京火化,次日举行了盛大的追悼会,向他表示哀悼和敬意。Entrusted by the CPC Central Committee, Cai Qi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and a member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, and Jiang's widow, Wang Yeping, and other relatives escorted Jiang's ashes for the ashes-scattering ritual. 受党中央委托,中共中央政治局常委、中央书记处书记蔡奇等领导同志和江泽民同志的夫人王冶坪等亲属护送骨灰撒放。Earlier in the morning, Jiang's ashes were carried by a hearse from Zhongnanhai, the central headquarters of the CPC and the State Council, where Jiang had worked as a Party and State leader, to Xijiao Airport in Beijing. Jiang's ashes were later flown by a special plane to Shanghai's Hongqiao International Airport, where his ashes were transferred by a hearse to the military vessel CNS Yangzhou at a military port.

Ep 1英语新闻|“每天八杯水”科学吗?最新研究结果可能颠覆认知
英语新闻|“每天八杯水”科学吗?最新研究结果可能颠覆认知A famous health tip says you'd better drink eight glasses of water (about two liters) a day. However, the results of a new study suggest that less is needed.11月25日,一项发表于国际学术期刊《科学》的研究,首次揭示了人类全生命周期需水量规律,也颠覆了以往许多人对饮水的认知:研究显示,每天8杯水的饮水建议可能超过大多数人真正的需水量。An international group led by scientists at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology (SIAT) in China found that the average daily water intake of a man in his twenties should be 1.5 to 1.8 liters, while it should be 1.3 to 1.4 liters for a female in the same age group.在该研究中,中国科学院深圳先进技术研究院医药所、深圳理工大学(筹)药学院科研团队联合近100个国际团队,对26个国家共计5604名受试者进行了研究,样本年龄覆盖8天大的婴儿到96岁的老人,推导出全球首个用于预测人体每天需水量的公式,首次揭示了人类全生命周期的需水量规律。水是生命之源,人体每天的水周转量(Water Turnover)即水的总交换量,包括了我们摄入的水分和流失的水分,在很大程度上反映了人们的需水量。研究发现,20至35岁男性每天的水周转量为4.2升,30~60岁女性每天的水周转量为3.3升,此后随着年龄的增长而下降,到了90多岁,都下降到2.5升左右。The researchers investigated 5,604 participants from the ages of 8 days to 96 years and from more than 20 countries, using isotope-tracking methods. They have found that a man aged 20 to 35 consumes 4.2 liters of water each day, while a woman aged 30 to 60 consumes 3.3 liters, with the water requirements dropping as he or she ages.值得注意的是,水的周转量并不等于饮用水的需水量,例如,一名20多岁的男性每天水周转量为4.2升,但并不需要饮用4.2升水,因为人体代谢和体表水交换可提供其中的15%,其余85%的需水量来自食物和饮水,食物和饮水各半,因此该年龄段男性每日平均饮水量为1.5至1.8升。Since the metabolism and water exchange on skin can provide 15 percent, while food and drinking contribute half each of the remaining 85 percent, people are thus suggested to drink less than 45 percent of the total dailyturnover, according to the researchers.相比之下,女性饮水量要小,因为女性的非脂肪成分低于男性,例如一位20多岁的女性,每日的饮水量可能为1.3至1.4升。论文共同第一作者张雪映表示,研究结果表明,每天喝8杯水(约2升)对大多数人来说可能太多了。"The majority of people perhaps don't have to drink 8 glasses of water a day," said Zhang Xueying, co-first author of the paper and an assistant research fellow at the SIAT.研究还发现,水周转率的个体差异较大,例如仅在成年人中,有些人每天的水周转率仅为身体水分的5%,而另一些人的水周转率则高达20%。不同年龄段、性别、国家的人的需水量是不同的。因此,一刀切的健康建议并不适合对个体进行精准化健康指导。The total water input and output varies according to multiple factors, including body size, physical activity, air temperature, humidity, and altitude, according to the study.另据分析发现,生活在炎热潮湿的环境和高海拔地区的人群,以及运动员、孕妇和哺乳期妇女和高体力运动水平的人群中,水的周转率更高。此外,在发展中国家和从事重体力劳动的人群中,也观察到较高的水周转率;日常体育活动也会增加水周转率。此外,该研究提到,水周转率被证明与很多生理健康指标相关,例如身体活动水平、体脂率等,并首次提出了水周转率可以作为一个反映人类的代谢健康的新生物标志物的理念,这对肥胖、糖尿病等各种代谢慢性疾病的研究提供了新思路。来源:央视新闻科学日报新华社来源:中国日报双语新闻intake英[ˈɪnteɪk];美[ˈɪnteɪk]n.摄入metabolism英[məˈtæbəlɪzəm];美[məˈtæbəlɪzəm]n.新陈代谢altitude英[ˈæltɪtjuːd];美[ˈæltɪtuːd]n.海拔

It is also the first major multilateral diplomatic event co-chaired by China after the conclusion of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in October, he added.中国驻迪拜总领事李旭航在接受当地媒体采访时表示,中国-阿拉伯国家峰会是疫情以来中阿领导人首次面对面交流的机会。他补充说,更是继中共二十大成功举办后,由中方作为共同主办方之一的第一场重大多边外交活动。"The summit constitutes a major diplomatic action of the largest scale and highest protocols intended for the Arab world since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and will become a milestone in the history of China-Arab ties," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Wednesday.12月7日,外交部发言人毛宁表示:“习近平主席出席首届中国—阿拉伯国家峰会,是新中国成立以来中国面向阿拉伯世界规模最大、规格最高的外交行动,将成为中阿关系发展史上具有划时代意义的里程碑。”The two sides will map out a blueprint for future cooperation, and render each other firm support, promote common development and defend multilateralism, Mao said.毛宁表示,双方将共绘未来合作蓝图,坚定相互支持、促进共同发展、维护多边主义。In the first nine months of this year, bilateral trade was $319.3 billion, a year-on-year increase of 35 percent, according to a report issued by the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Friday.根据外交部发布的报告,2022年前三季度,中阿贸易额达3193亿美元,同比增长35%。In addition to constantly deepening collaboration on traditional energy, the two sides have also made breakthroughs in "high-end, cutting-edge technology domains", such as 5G telecommunication, nuclear power, aerospace and satellite technology, according to the report.《新时代的中阿合作报告》显示,除了不断深化传统能源合作外,中国同阿拉伯国家在5G通信、核能、航天卫星等高新领域合作取得突破。Yu Zirong, vice-president of the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, said economic and trade cooperation between China and Arab countries has witnessed remarkable achievements since the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum was founded in 2004, and the introduction of the Belt and Road Initiative in 2013.商务部国际贸易经济合作研究院副院长俞子荣表示,2004年中阿合作论坛成立以来,尤其是“一带一路”倡议以来,中阿经贸合作全面深入发展,取得显著成果。"The two sides should intensify efforts in advancing negotiation on a China-GCC free trade zone, further optimize the trade structure between them, tap into emerging areas for investment, and upgrade their collaboration on infrastructure," Yu said.“未来,中阿双方应大力推进中国-海合会自由贸易区谈判,进一步优化贸易结构,拓展新兴领域投资,促进基础设施合作转型升级。”俞子荣说。The Gulf Cooperation Council, which was founded in 1981, consists of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. China established relations with the grouping in 1981.海湾合作委员会成立于1981年,由巴林、科威特、阿曼、卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国组成。中国于1981年与该委员会建立了关系。In recent years, two-way cooperation on the economy, trade, finance, energy, technology and culture has rapidly increased.

Ep 1英语新闻|冬季“无痛”早起攻略!早起困难户请查收
英语新闻|冬季“无痛”早起攻略!早起困难户请查收~Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for your health, but the reality is thatit takes a lot of willpower to get out of bed early on a cold winter's day.Here are 5 Steps to take to become a morning person.人人都知道,早睡早起有益健康,但现实却是,早早离开温暖的被窝需要强大的意志力。这里是一份“无痛早起”攻略,五个步骤让你养成早起习惯。1. Seek out as much natural light as possible尽可能在充足的自然光下醒来The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light, says Jennifer Martin, president of the board of directors for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. That’s because light suppresses melatonin, a hormone that plays an important role in circadian rhythm. “The sun is the driver of our internal clock,” she says.美国睡眠医学学会董事会主席詹尼佛·马丁称,早起秘诀是将自己暴露在明亮的光线下。这是因为光抑制褪黑激素,褪黑激素在昼夜节律中起着重要作用。“太阳是我们生物钟的驱动力”。When you wake up, pop outside for a brisk walk around the block, or sit out back while you sip a cup of coffee. Martin also recommends rethinking the black-out curtains you might use to foster a very dark sleeping environment. If the brightness bothers you overnight, consider wearing an eye mask that you take off as you start to wake up.当你起床后,可以出来散散步,或者坐在外面喝杯咖啡。马丁不建议使用遮光窗帘营造漆黑的睡眠环境。如果夜间亮度困扰你,可以戴上眼罩,在醒来时摘下。2. Ease in gradually.循序渐进培养早起习惯There are two ways to approach your journey to early rising, Martin says. You could plunge straight into getting up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired during the transition but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks.马丁表示,有两种方法有助于早起。你可以强迫自己在固定时间起床,这种方法在过渡期间会让人感到疲倦,但几周内你会自然早睡。But for some people—like those who need to drive long distances—those first few days of exhaustion from switching to a new schedule aren’t safe. In that case, Martin recommends gradually easing into the early-bird life. “What I’ll suggest to people is to shift half an hour, wait a few days, shift another half an hour, wait a few days, and then shift another half an hour,” she says. “That’s a little easier for people to tolerate.”但对于一些人来说,刚开始改变生物钟引起的疲惫感是有安全隐患的,比如那些需要长距离驾驶的人。在这种情况下,马丁建议逐渐养成早起习惯。她说:“我建议先早起半小时,再等几天,再早起半小时,等上几天,然后再早起半个小时。这样更容易适应。”3. Be consistent—even on weekends.即使在周末也要坚持早起Becoming a morning person is a seven-day-a-week job. Decide what time you’re going to wake up every day, and stick to it, without exception.想要成为“早起的鸟儿”,一周七天都要坚持。确定你每天醒来的时间,并坚持到底,无一例外。4. Wind down in the evenings.晚上早睡A consistent bedtime isn’t as crucial as sticking to the same wake up time every day, but it’s still important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night—so you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule.保持稳定的就寝时间不像每天坚持固定时间起床那么重要,但确保充足的睡眠仍然非常必要。大多数人应该保证每晚至少7小时睡眠,所以当你改变生物钟时,还需要早睡。Starting at least an hour before you hit the sack, cut back on how much exposure to bright light you’re getting, Experts advise. Research indicates that being exposed to artificial light in the late evening suppresses your body’s ability to generate melatonin, which could interfere with both your ability to fall asleep and your sleep quality.专家建议,至少从睡觉前1小时开始,降低暴露在强光下的时间。研究表明,深夜暴露于人造光会抑制身体产生褪黑激素的能力,这会干扰入睡能力和睡眠质量。5. Plan something to look forward to.计划一些值得期待的事情To entice you out of bed, Martin suggests treating yourself to something special you can enjoy first thing. “Now is the time to go buy your favorite coffee or pick up some pastries to have when your alarm goes off at 5 a.m.,” she says. “You’re not dreading it if you think of that.”马丁建议,为了让自己更有动力起床,早餐可以享受特别的美食。她说:“现在是时候去买你最喜欢的咖啡,或者早上5点闹钟响起时,去买一些点心。如果你想到这一点,就不难起床了。”willpower英 [ˈwɪlpaʊə(r)] 美 [ˈwɪlpaʊər]n. 意志力melatonin英 [ˌmeləˈtəʊnɪn] 美 [ˌmeləˈtoʊnɪn]n. 褪黑激素circadian英 [sɜːˈkeɪdiən] 美 [sɜːrˈkeɪdiən]adj. 生理节奏的

It might now be too late.2-0的爆冷让凯文·德布劳内和这位2018年的半决赛选手面临小组赛出局的危险,这很可能是这支才华横溢的比利时球队的最后一届世界杯,但他们未能兑现承诺。现在可能为时已晚。De Bruyne didn't drive Belgium forward against Morocco, captain Eden Hazard was taken off after an hour, and goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was probably at fault for the opening goal.在对阵摩洛哥的比赛中,德布劳内没有带领比利时取得优势,队长阿扎尔在一个小时后被换下,开场被破门可能是门将库尔图瓦的过失。"We haven't seen the best Belgium yet," said Roberto Martinez, a Spaniard who has coached the team for six years. "We haven't been ourselves."“我们还没有看到最好的比利时队,”执教该队6年的西班牙人罗伯托·马丁内斯说。“我们没有发挥出自己的最好状态。Belgium could have become the second team behind defending champion France to advance to the last 16 if it beat Morocco. But it dropped from first to third in Group F and now plays against 2018 World Cup finalist Croatia trying to avoid its earliest elimination since 1998.如果击败摩洛哥,比利时本可以成为继卫冕冠军法国队之后第二支晋级16强的球队。但它从F组的第一名降至第三名,现在要对阵2018年世界杯决赛入围者克罗地亚,以避免遭遇自1998年以来最早被淘汰的局面。Morocco substitute Abdelhamid Sabiri gave his team the lead by whipping in a freekick from a tight angle on the left in the 73rd minute that got under the body of Courtois, who many people consider the best goalkeeper in the world.摩洛哥替补球员阿卜杜勒哈米德·萨比里在比赛进行到第73分钟时,从左路一个小角度开出一记任意球,打在了库尔图瓦(许多人认为其是世界上最好的门将)的身上,帮助球队取得了领先。Zakaria Aboukhlal guided a shot into the roof of the net off a pass from Hakim Ziyech in stoppage time to make it 2-0 as Belgium's defense, boasting more than 300 international appearances but anchored by two players in their mid-30s, was beaten by a speedy 22-year-old forward playing at his first World Cup.补时阶段,扎卡里亚·阿布克拉尔接哈基姆·济耶赫传球,一脚射门成功,将比分改写为2-0。比利时队曾参加过300多场国际比赛,但其防线由两名35岁左右的球员组成,最终被这名22岁、首次参加世界杯、速度极快的前锋击败。Morocco's players kneeled and pressed their heads to the ground in prayer, then leapt up in celebration. Pulling himself up from the ground, Courtois just shook his head.摩洛哥球员们跪在地上,埋着头祈祷,然后跳起来庆祝。库尔图瓦从地上爬起来,只是摇了摇头。The second big upset at the first World Cup in the Middle East involved another Arabic nation. Saudi Arabia defeated Argentina in the opening set of group games.第一届中东世界杯的第二个大冷门是另一个阿拉伯国家。沙特阿拉伯在小组赛的第一轮击败了阿根廷。Morocco, which was roared on by thunderous noise from its fans at Al Thumama Stadium, had started in Qatar with a promising 0-0 draw with Croatia.阿图玛玛体育场的摩洛哥球迷们爆发出雷鸣般的欢呼声。摩洛哥在卡塔尔世界杯中以0-0战平克罗地亚。"We are delighted with that after Croatia and Belgium," Morocco coach Walid Regragui said.“在与克罗地亚和比利时的对阵之后,我们很高兴,”摩洛哥教练雷格拉古伊表示。"That's absolutely outstanding for Morocco."“摩洛哥的表现绝对是杰出的。”Belgium, ranked No 2 in the world behind Brazil, had won its last seven group games at the World Cup before the upset, but that included a labored 1-0 win over Canada to open this year's tournament.比利时队排名世界第二,仅次于巴西。在被爆冷门之前,比利时队已经在世界杯小组赛中赢得了近七场比赛,其中包括以1比0险胜加拿大的那场世界杯开局赛。Even De Bruyne said in a media interview before the World Cup that Belgium's squad was likely too old to win now.就连德布劳内在世界杯前接受媒体采访时也表示,比利时队年纪太大了,因此很难取得胜利。"I don't think any comments will affect a result or a performance," Martinez said, dismissing the suggestion that De Bruyne's interview might have unsettled Belgium.马丁内斯表示:“我不认为任何评论会影响比赛的结果或表现。”他驳斥了德布劳内的采访可能会让比利时感到不安的说法。Morocco had to make a change right before kickoff when goalkeeper Yassine Bounou feltunwell but the North Africans were unaffected and clinched their first win at a World Cup since 1998 and only their third ever.因为门将亚辛·本努感觉不适,摩洛哥不得不在开球前做出改变,但他们并没有受到影响,他们赢得了自1998年以来的第一次世界杯胜利,也是他们在世界杯中的第三次胜利。Morocco moved to four points and Croatia is also on four points after beating Canada later Sunday. Belgium has three points and Canada has been eliminated.摩洛哥积4分,克罗地亚在周日晚些时候击败加拿大后也积4分。比利时积3分,加拿大被淘汰。Morocco has only ever been past the group stage once at a World Cup, in 1986. And things were in turmoil ahead of the tournament after former coach Vahid Halilhodzic was fired and Regragui was hired at the end of August, less than three months before the World Cup. Regragui had only three friendlies to make his mark on the team before facing Croatia at the World Cup.摩洛哥在世界杯中只有一次小组赛出线,是在1986年。今年8月底,距离世界杯开幕不到3个月,前主教练瓦希德·哈利霍季奇被解雇,雷格拉古伊被聘为主教练。在世界杯对阵克罗地亚之前,雷格拉古伊只执导了三场友谊赛。Ziyech shinesRegragui immediately recalled Ziyech, a Chelsea winger who was exiled from the team under Halilhodzic because of a rift between them. Ziyech curled in a disallowed freekick in the first half, set up the second goal, and was Morocco's best player against Belgium.雷格拉古伊立即召回了切尔西边锋齐耶赫,这名球员在哈利霍季奇的领队时期因双方矛盾而被逐出球队。上半场,齐耶赫任意球被判无效,助攻第二个进球,是摩洛哥对阵比利时的最佳球员。Lukaku returnsMartinez brought on forward Romelu Lukaku, the country's record scorer, as a substitute with less than 10 minutes to go in a desper

The Italian WorldCup-winning coach was at the helm for the start of China's Qatar World Cupqualifying campaign but resigned after a disappointing defeat to Syria inNovember 2019.作为前埃弗顿中场和国家队明星球员,李铁在2020年1月从马塞洛·里皮手中接过了中国队的帅印。这位意大利世界杯冠军教练曾在中国的卡塔尔世界杯预选赛开始时掌舵,但在2019年11月中国队输于叙利亚后辞职。Li enjoyed some initial success as the team secured a place in the finalphase of Asian zone qualifying in June 2021. However, Team Chinamanaged just one win in that final phase, against Vietnam in October 2021, amonth before Li's final game in charge — a draw against Australia.2021年6月,李铁在亚洲区预选赛的最后阶段取得了一些初步的成功。然而,中国队在最后阶段只取得了一场胜利(战胜越南队),那是在2021年10月,也就是李铁执教的最后一场比赛(中国队和澳大利亚队平局)之前的一个月。Those disappointing results and his sparing use of the squad'snaturalized stars sparked heavy criticism from fans. And the coach's emotionaloutburst after the game against Australia, when he branded his detractors"mental", only served to give his critics more ammunition.这些令人失望的结果和他对归化球星的谨慎使用引发了球迷的强烈批评。在对阵澳大利亚的比赛后,李铁情绪激动,怒批那些诋毁他的人 “没有脑子”,而这只会给他的批评者更多的弹药。Li was engulfed in more controversy when he erased the logo of TeamChina's sponsor from pictures he posted on Weibo in November 2021. He was also accusedof using his position to plug several other products in the same post. All ofthese incidents culminated in his resignation as Team China head coach.2021年11月,李铁在微博上发布照片,照片中的国足赞助商标志却被去掉了,这引发了更多争议。他还被指控利用自己的职位在同一帖子中插入其他几款产品,所有这些事件最终导致他辞去中国队主教练的职务。As a member of the only Chinese squad to play at a World Cup, in 2002,there had been high hopes for Li when he was installed in the job, with fansalso valuing his experience as a player at English top-flight club Evertonacross four seasons.作为唯一一支参加过世界杯的中国队成员,李铁是国足冲击2002年世界杯成功的功臣,当时人们对他寄予厚望,球迷们也很看重他在英格兰顶级俱乐部埃弗顿效力四个赛季的经历。However, all those expectations have evaporated now.然而,所有这些期望现在都烟消云散了。"Li Tie is an iconic name for Chinese soccer, and fans are veryfamiliar with him. During his playing days, he was the iron midfielder of thenational team and he shone at the 2002 World Cup," read the Chinanews.comcommentary.根据中国新闻网评论,“李铁的名字,对于中国男足来说,再熟悉不过。球员生涯

英语新闻|New‘Avatar’film gets Chinese releaseThirteen years after James Cameron’s sci-fi epic Avatarsparked the growth of the giant 3D-screen era in the Chinese movie market, itslong-awaited sequelThe Way of Water is set to greet audienceson the mainland on Dec 16.22日,迪士尼与20世纪影业宣布詹姆斯·卡梅隆执导的科幻动作大片《阿凡达:水之道》(简称《阿凡达2》)确定将于12月16日在国内同步北美上映。According to data on Chinese movie ticketing platform Maoyan, more than 600,000 netizens have added the movie in their“want to watch”lists after the release date was announced, causing the film to rise to the top of the soon-to-be released films on the platform.据中国电影票务平台猫眼数据显示,上映日期公布后,已有超过60万网友将这部电影添加到“想看”名单中,使该片上升至即将上映电影期待程度的榜首。“The release of the film will lift up the Chinese film market, providing a‘timely rainfall’for cinemas suffering from the drought caused by the pandemic,”Beijing-based film critic Shi Wenxue told the Global Times on Wednesday.“这部电影的上映将提振中国电影市场,为因大流行而遭受干旱的电影院提供‘及时雨’,”北京影评人史文雪周三对《环球时报》表示。“I have been ready to buy tickets and return to the cinema. I hope the pandemic situation is eased at that time so that cinemas can open,”one Sina Weibo user commented.“我已经准备好买票回到电影院了。希望到时候疫情能缓和,电影院才能开门。”一位新浪微博用户评论道。The Way of Water tells the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure.据悉,《阿凡达2》片长超3小时,为2009年电影《阿凡达》的续集,虽然两集的上映年份前后相隔了13年,但时间点则设定在首部的5年后,主要讲述不同种族的亲情在社会中发挥的作用,聚焦萨利一家的故事、他们面临的麻烦、他们为了保护彼此而做的努力、他们为了存活而战斗,以及他们所承受的悲剧。As a lot of the scenes took place underwater, Cameron and his teamtailored a motion-capture system specialized for underwatercinematography. Moreover, the crew prepared a gigantic 900,000-gallon water tank that could simulate currents and waves in a raging ocean.卡梅隆打造了一套专为水下拍摄准备的动作捕捉系统,还原海底潜泳的真实场景。剧组还特别准备了一个容纳90万加仑海水的巨大水箱,以最大程度模拟洋流。Director James Cameron has not placed a price tag on The Way of Water, but estimates suggest it is in excess of $250 million. The writer and director told GQ magazine that the sequel budget is so high, that the film will need to become the third or fourth-highest grossing film in history to break even.据业界预估,该片的拍摄制作费用可能高达2.5亿美元。卡梅隆也在日前接受《GQ》杂志采访时,毫不讳言称《阿凡达2》是“史上最糟糕的商业案例”。他表示,《阿凡达2》的票房收入必须要达到史上的第三高或者第四高,才能保证至少不会亏本。如果《阿凡达2》的票房不甚理想,他可能会放弃制作已经构思好的接下来几部。Long-awaited英[ˌlɒŋ əˈweɪtɪd];美[ˌlɔːŋ əˈweɪtɪd]adj.等待(或期待)已久的tailor英[ˈteɪlə(r)];美[ˈteɪlər]v.专门制作;订做cinematography英[ˌsɪnəməˈtɒɡrəfi];美[ˌsɪnəməˈtɑːɡrəfi]n.电影摄制艺术;电影制作方法

Ep 1英语新闻丨国际足联主席痛批西方“虚伪”
英语新闻丨West’s hypocrisy can’t take shine off World CupFIFA President Gianni Infantino was spot on when he slammed Western countries of “hypocrisy” for trying to give “moral lessons” to other nations.国际足联主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺(Gianni Infantino)猛烈抨击西方国家“虚伪”,试图给其他国家上“道德课”。A Swiss Italian, Infantino said on Saturday that “for what we Europeans have been doing around the world in the last 3,000 years, we should be apologizing for the next 3,000 years before starting to give moral lessons to people”.拥有瑞士和意大利双重国籍的因凡蒂诺周六表示,“对于过去3000年来我们欧洲人在世界各地所做的事情,我们应该为接下来的3000年道歉,然后再开始给人们上道德课”。He was responding to the criticism by Western media about human rights in Qatar, host of the 2022 World Cup, such as the treatment of migrant workers and the LGBT community.他正在回应西方媒体对2022年世界杯东道主卡塔尔有关人权的批评,例如移民工人和LGBT 群体的待遇。FIFA warned several European teams that their captains would face yellow cards if they wear the OneLove armbands in a bid to raise LGBT awareness during the matches.国际足联警告几支欧洲球队,如果他们的队长在比赛中佩戴OneLove臂章,以提高LGBT意识,将面临黄牌警告。French President Emmanuel Macron pointed out last week that sport should not be politicized, referring to his plan to go to Qatar if the French national team, the defending champion, reaches the semifinals.法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙上周指出,体育不应被政治化,他指出如果卫冕冠军法国国家队进入半决赛,他将前往卡塔尔。However, France politicized sport when it called for Russia to be banned from the World Cup qualifying games days after the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in February.然而,在2月俄乌冲突爆发几天后,法国呼吁禁止俄罗斯参加世界杯预选赛,从而将体育政治化。When the International Olympic Committee then urged that Russia be banned from participating in international sports events, many international sports federations quickly followed suit. But IOC President Thomas Bach said last month that Russian athletes could be allowed back to compete at Olympic Games as long as they don’t support the war in Ukraine.当国际奥委会随后敦促禁止俄罗斯参加国际体育赛事时,许多国际体育联合会迅速效仿。但国际奥委会主席托马斯·巴赫上个月表示,只要俄罗斯运动员不支持乌克兰战争,他们就可以获准重返奥运会。Punishing athletes for the actions of their governments will do nothing to help end the conflict. On the contrary, sports have the magic power of bringing different people together. Engaging more Russian athletes could contribute to finding a solution to the conflict.因政府的行为而惩罚运动员无助于结束冲突。相反,体育具有将不同的人聚集在一起的魔力,让更多的俄罗斯运动员参与进来可能有助于找到解决冲突的办法。The fact that people all over the world, regardless of their political and religious beliefs, are enjoying watching World Cup shows that sports transcend politics. People cheer teams and players they support and others for their good performances.世界各地的人们,无论其政治和宗教信仰如何,都乐于观看世界杯,这一事实表明体育超越了政治,人们会为他们支持的球队和球员以及其他人的出色表现欢呼。People have the right to express their concerns about human rights issues, but they have to pick the right time and right place, and those are not a sports event.人们有权表达对人权问题的关注,但他们必须选择合适的时间和合适的地点,而体育赛事不是合适的时机。Certain sports such as snooker, golf and tennis even require spectators to remain silent. No one wants a soccer match to be spoiled by protesters shouting slogans.斯诺克、高尔夫和网球等某些运动甚至要求观众保持沉默,同样地,没有人希望足球比赛被高喊口号的抗议者破坏。When the World Cup kicked off on Sunday, BBC chose not to broadcast the opening ceremony and instead spent the time talking about human rights abuses in Qatar.That reflects the hypocrisy Infantino pointed out.周日世界杯开幕时,BBC选择不转播开幕式,而是花时间谈论卡塔尔侵犯人权的问题,这反映了Infantino所指的虚伪。The BBC did not boycott the opening ceremony of the London Olympics in 2012, which took place a month after Julian Assange was forced to seek asylum in Ecuador’s embassy in London due to extradition concerns, or the opening ceremony of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics in Utah in 2002, which was held months after the US invasion of Afghanistan.BBC没有抵制2012年伦敦奥运会开幕式,该开幕式发生在朱利安·阿桑奇因引渡问题被迫在厄瓜多尔驻伦敦大使馆寻求庇护一个月后,也没有抵制2002年在美国犹他州举办的盐湖城冬季奥运会开幕式,而这发生在美国入侵阿富汗几个月后。In its 2021 report, the Amnesty International cited human concerns in France from racial profiling to migrants’ rights. The Human Rights Watch cited in its report the US human rights violations from racial injustice and the world’s highest criminal incarceration rates to women’s health rights and the rights of non-citizens.在其2021年的报告中,国际特赦组织列举了对法国从种族定性到移民权利问题上的担忧。人权观察在其报告中列举了美国从种族不公正和世界上最高的刑事监禁率到妇女健康权和非公民权利的侵犯人权行为。Since they spent so much time nitpicking the alcohol ban during the World Cup matches, there will be plenty for Western media to point their fingers at these Olympic Games. But we all know they won’t.由于他们在世界杯比赛期间花了大量时间挑剔禁酒令,因此西方媒体将有很多矛头可以指向这些奥运会,但我们都知道他们不会。Nitpick 英[ˈnɪtpɪk];美[ˈnɪtˌpɪk]v. 挑剔;吹毛求疵extradition英[ˌekstrəˈdɪʃn];美[ˌekstrəˈdɪʃn]n. 引渡armband英[ˈɑːmbænd];美[ˈɑːrmbænd]n. 臂章boycott英[ˈbɔɪkɒt];美[ˈbɔɪkɑːt]v. 抵制,拒绝参加

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner hadbeen used sparingly by the former Ajax boss in the Premier League.曼联主教练埃里克·滕·哈格是过去九年来老特拉福德的第五位永久主帅,他在执教的最初几个月一直围绕罗纳尔多在球队中的位置展开争论。这位五次金球奖得主被这位前阿贾克斯主帅在英超联赛中谨慎使用。Ronaldo reacted with an explosive interview on TalkTV last week in whichhe said he felt "betrayed "by the club and had no respect for TenHag.罗纳尔多在上周接受TalkTV的爆炸性采访时表示,他感觉被曼联“背叛”了,并称他不尊重主教练滕·哈格。The Portugal captain, who is currently competing in his fifth World Cup,also took aim at the Glazers, claiming they "don't care about theclub".罗纳尔多这位葡萄牙队长目前正在参加他的第五届世界杯,他也抨击格雷泽家族“不在乎俱乐部”。"Cristiano Ronaldo is to leave Manchester United by mutualagreement, with immediate effect," United said in an earlier statement.曼联官方发布公告称:“克里斯蒂亚诺·罗纳尔多将在双方同意的情况下离开曼联,立即生效。”"The club thanks him for his immense contribution across two spellsat Old Trafford, scoring 145 goals in 346 appearances, and wishes him and his familywell for the future."“俱乐部感谢他在老特拉福德的两个赛季中做出的巨大贡献,在346场比赛中攻入145球,并祝他和他的家人未来一切顺利。”The Glazers bought the club for 790 million pounds ($939 million) in2005 in a highly leveraged deal which has been criticized for loading debt ontothe club.格雷泽家族在2005年以7.9亿英镑(9.3907 亿美元)的高杠杆交易收购了该俱乐部,该交易一直被批评为俱乐部增加债务。United has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 2012, whenthe Glazers sold 10 percent of their holding via the listing and have sold moreshares since.自2012年以来曼联在纽约证券交易所上市,当时格雷泽家族通过上市出售了10%的股份,此后又出售了更多股份。The Raine Group is acting as financial adviser and Latham &WatkinsLLP is the legal adviser to Manchester United.雷恩集团担任曼联的财务顾问,Latham& Watkins LLP 担任曼联的法律顾问。Rothschild and Co. is acting as financial adviser to the Glazer family shareholders.罗斯柴尔德公司担任格雷泽家族股东的财务顾问。Among the fan protests against the Glazers was one in May 2021 thatforced the postponement of a home match against Liverpool, one of the club'sbiggest rivals.

The past week has seen an average daily increase of22,200(mispronounced)infections.国家疾控局官员胡翔介绍,自11月1日以来,全国已经累计报告了25.3万例感染者,近一周平均每天报告2.22万例。"Some provinces are facing the most severe and complicated epidemic situation in three years, and densely populated cities like Guangzhouand Chongqing are having a particularly difficult time reining in the virus'spread," she said at a news briefing.“有的省份面临三年来最严峻复杂的局面;人口密集城市如广州、重庆成为疫情防控的重点地区,防控难度加剧。”胡翔在国务院联防联控机制发布会上说。Hu said that the rapid and stealthy transmission of the Omicron variant, coupled with its spread infactories, schools and catering businesses where people tend to gather, has ledto a shortage of resources in epidemiological investigation, quarantine andcommunity management.胡翔说,奥密克戎变异株的隐匿传播和传播力强,像工厂、医院、学校、餐饮、娱乐场所等人员密集场所疫情的多点位加速传播,容易造成流调溯源、隔离管控、社区防控等防控力量的不足和资源紧张。"Detecting and controlling new cases and close contacts, andidentifying at-risk areas promptly and precisely are the key to gaining theupper hand over the disease's spread," she said.胡翔说,“及时发现管控社会面的感染者和密切接触者,及时精确划定并公布风险区,都是抢占疫情防控先机的关键。”Hu added that the health authority has sent 15 working groups to guidelocal governments in stamping out outbreaks and implementing 20 measuresannounced recently to make COVID control work more precise and scientific.胡翔补充说,国家卫生健康委、国家疾控局已经派出15个工作组,督促指导地方将二十条优化措施落实到位,让地方疫情防控工作更加精准科学。"Strengthened efforts will be devoted to cracking down on imposingadditional and unnecessary COVID-19 restrictions, especially practices such aslocking down campuses and factories recklessly, cutting off roads withoutauthorization, sealing off communities for prolonged periods or suspendinghospital services," she said.“加大层层加码问题整治力度,特别是严禁封校停课,停工停产,未经批准阻断交通,随封控长时间不解封,随意停诊等各类行为。”胡翔说。Guo Yanhong, director of the National Health Commission's healthemergency response bureau, said some people have complained about poorconditions at makeshift hospitals — stadiums or exhibition halls converted tomedical facilities to receive asymptomatic or mild COVID-19 cases.国家卫生健康委医疗应急司司长郭燕红表示,有人反映,一些方舱医院是由会展中心、体育场馆改造而成,用来收治无症状感染者或轻症感染者,但这些医院条件较差。"We have required local authorities to step up preparedness,including training medical workers, ensuring normal function of water supplies,electricity, restrooms, showers and ventilation, and stocking sufficient bedsand medical materials," she said.The mainland reported 2,145 local confirmed cases and 25,754 local asymptomaticcases on Monday. There are currently 110 severe COVID-19 cases. “我们要求各地做好方舱医院相应的准备工作,备好医护力量,做好培训,要保证水、电、厕所、淋浴、通风等基础的硬件条件,还要储备好床位单元、医用物资和一些必要的医疗设备。”郭燕红说。11月21日,我国新增2145例本土确诊病例和25754例本土无症状病例。目前有110例重症病例。Guo said that despite the low rate of serious cases, it is stillimperative to increase intensive care capacity across the country.郭燕红表示,尽管重症率较低,但仍有必要提高全国的重症监护能力。"COVID-19 still poses great threats to the elderly and those withunderlying illnesses," she said. "As a country with a population of1.4 billion and many vulnerable groups, we must enhance intensive care capacityand multidisciplinary treatment capabilities."“新冠肺炎仍然对老年人和潜在疾病患者构成巨大威胁。”郭燕红说,“我国是一个拥有14亿人口的大国,容易发生重症的脆弱人群。因此,加强重症力量的储备,特别是多学科综合能力的提升,是非常必要的。”malpractice英 [ˌmælˈpræktɪs] 美 [ˌmælˈpræktɪs]n.渎职complicated英 [ˈkɒmplɪkeɪtɪd] 美 [ˈkɑːmplɪkeɪtɪdadj.复杂的stealthy英 [ˈstelθi] 美 [ˈstelθi]adj.隐蔽的

Ep 1英语新闻|展望高质量发展
英语新闻|展望高质量发展China isexpected to speed up synergetic efforts toboost domestic demand and strengthen its supply system, as a key step tobolster the country's high-quality development against lingering headwinds athome and abroad, experts said.专家表示,中国有望加快促进内需和加强供应体系的协同努力,这是推动我国高质量发展、抵御国内外挥之不去的逆风的关键一步。Macroeconomic adjustments should be stepped up to firmly expand domesticdemand and stabilize short-term economic growth, while making sure theseefforts are combined with supply-side structural reform to improve the qualityand sustainability of growth, they said.要加强宏观经济调整,坚定扩大内需,稳定短期经济增长,同时要与供给侧结构性改革相结合,提高增长质量和可持续性。Their comments came after the leadership of the Communist Party of Chinaand the central government highlighted the necessity to pursue high-qualitydevelopment by integrating the efforts to boost domestic demand with those to optimize the supply system.在中国共产党和中央政府领导强调通过将扩大内需与优化供给体系相结合来追求高质量发展的必要性之后,他们发表了评论。In a report delivered at the openingsession of the 20th National Congress of the CPC, Xi Jinping, general secretaryof the CPC Central Committee, stressed the need to integrate the implementationof the strategy to expand domestic demand with efforts to deepen supply-sidestructural reform.中共中央委员会总书记习近平在党的第二十次全国代表大会开幕式上所作的报告中强调,要把实施扩大内需战略同深化供给侧结构性改革结合起来。Experts said the proposal has outlinedthe path for China to ensure stable economic growth and lift the quality ofdevelopment in the coming five years, with a focus on expanding demand in areasthat are in line with high-quality development goals and matching the demandwith a better-structured supply system.专家表示,该方案规划了确保未来五年中国稳定经济增长和提高发展质量的路径,重点是在符合高质量发展目标的领域扩大需求,并使需求与结构更好的供应体系相匹配。Cheng Shi, chief economist at ICBCInternational, said this integration has become necessary for boosting domesticdemand because the principal contradiction facing Chinese society hastransformed into one between unbalanced and inadequate development and thepeople's ever-growing need for a better life.工银国际首席经济学家程实表示,这种融合对于扩大内需是必要的,因为中国社会面临的主要矛盾已经转变为人民日益增长的美好生活需要和不平衡不充分的发展之间的矛盾。"When there is a mismatch betweenthe supply structure and the consumption structure, the effectiveness oftraditional policies to expand domestic demand will decline."“当供给结构和消费结构不匹配时,传统的扩大内需政策的有效性就会下降。”“Instead, integrating expanding demandwith supply-side reform can help strike a new balance where demand drivessupply while supply creates demand,” said Cheng, who expects that an enhancedsupply-demand relationship could help maintain China's annual potentialeconomic growth at 4.8 to 5.5 percent through 2025.“相反,将扩大需求与供给侧改革结合起来,可以实现新的平衡,即需求驱动供应,供应创造需求。”他预计,供需关系的加强有助于在2025年之前将中国的年潜在经济增长率维持在4.8%至5.5%。Efforts should be made to facilitate theexpansion of rural consumption and the upgrade of urban residents' consumptiondemand while furthering industrial restructuring to better meet that demand, hesaid.程实表示,要努力扩大农村消费,促进城镇居民消费需求升级,同时进一步推进产业结构调整以更好地满足这一需求。Experts said the efforts to enhance theinteraction between demand and supply can drive the country's pursuit of thenew development paradigm — in whichthe domestic market is the mainstay and the domestic and international marketsreinforce each other — to strengthen its development resilience amid a morevolatile external environment.专家表示,加强供需互动的努力可以推动国家追求新的发展模式,即国内市场为主体,国内和国际市场相互促进,以增强其在更不稳定的外部环境中的发展韧性。Vice-Premier Liu He said in a recentarticle that the integration of expanding domestic demand and deepeningsupply-side structural reform is a long-term plan to boost developmentalautonomy, and he cited shrinking international demand and the unstable globalsupply.国务院副总理刘鹤在最近的一篇文章中表示,扩大内需和深化供给侧结构性改革相结合是增强发展自主权的长期计划,他还提到了国际需求萎缩和全球供应不稳定。Calling for efforts to align the demandand supply-side efforts with the requirements of high-quality development, Liusaid macroeconomic adjustments should be strengthened to maintain stable andsustained economic growth, which plays an "important fundamentalrole" in the country's modernization drive. 他呼吁努力使需求侧和供给侧努力与高质量发展的要求保持一致,他说,宏观经济调整应该加强,以保持稳定和持续的经济增长,这在国家现代化建设中起着“重要的基础作用”。Due to deglobalization waves and slowingglobal growth, which has started to decelerate China's exports, the countryshould step up macroeconomic adjustments to boost domestic demand for growthstabilization, said Luo Zhiheng, chief economist at Yuekai Securities.粤开证券首席经济学家罗志恒表示,由于去全球化浪潮和全球增长放缓减缓了中国的出口,中国应该加快宏观经济调整,以促进国内需求稳定增长。While China's GDP growth rebounded to3.9 percent year-on-year in the third quarter, economic activity faced renewedpressures in October as COVID-19 cases increased, retail sales shrank from ayear ago and real estate development investment dropped at a larger rate, theNational Bureau of Statistics said.国家统计局表示,虽然中国第三季度国内生产总值增速同比回升至3.9%,但随着新冠肺炎病例增加、零售销售同比萎缩、房地产开发投资降幅加大,10月份经济活动面临新的压力。Luo said it is sensible to reduceinterest rates and the cash that banks must hold as reserves in due course toboost consumption and investment and ramp up support for infrastructureconstruction.罗志恒表示适当降低利率和银行必须作为准备金持有的现金,以促进消费和投资,并加大对基础设施建设的支

Ep 1英语新闻丨Trip charts global governance path
Two multilateral meetings, close to 20 bilateral talks and a sit-down with United States President Joe Biden — President Xi Jinping's six-day trip to Southeast Asia has charted the way for global governance, expanded China's global partnerships and steadied ties between the world's two largest economies.Xi traveled to Bali, Indonesia, from Monday to Thursday for the G20 Summit before attending the 29th APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Bangkok and visiting Thailand — the first time he has attended the events in person in three years. Xi returned to China on Saturday evening.The back-to-back meetings held by Asian countries took place amid spillover from the Ukraine crisis, which fueled global financial, energy and food crises, with some countries advocating division, confrontation and decoupling.The world is again standing at a crossroads, and Asia has embraced a crucial moment in promoting global governance, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said after the conclusion of Xi's trip.Wang, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said Xi's proposals at the G20 Summit indicated that he has always kept the interests of developing nations in mind and maintained the outlook in his diplomatic activities that true development can only be attained with the common development of all countries. At the summit, Xi said Beijing supports the African Union in joining the G20.China's support for multilateralism and its contribution to G20 cooperation is also evidenced in the fact that the 15 projects and proposals put forward by Beijing were included in the list of projects for pragmatic cooperation at the summit.Bernard Dewit, chairman of the Brussels-based Belgian-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, said Xi's proposals at the APEC meetings were not only inspiring for the Asia-Pacific region but also for other countries around the world, especially in Europe."At a moment when the COP 27 is closing, President Xi insists that his country will push further for green and low-carbon development .Every government in the world should approve of his words when he says protecting the ecological environment and tackling environmental changes is the common challenge facing all humanity."Raymund Chao, chairman for the Asia-Pacific region and China of professional services provider PwC, said Xi's written speech delivered to the APEC CEO Summit has boosted the confidence of business leaders in the Asia-Pacific region in responding to risks and turning crises into opportunities."The president's proposal to make global development more inclusive, beneficial to all and more resilient is a reminder to everyone for joint development and cooperation. It will be of major significance for the early recovery and steady growth of the global economy," he said.Vasily Kashin, director of the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs at HSE University in Russia, said he thoroughly agreed with Xi's call to stay committed to openness and inclusiveness and bring prosperity for all in the Asia-Pacific region.Kashin said such a proposal is very important as it is aimed at realizing the mutual development of the region, not interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, avoiding trade protectionism, and complying with ecological and environmental protection standards."China is building a cooperative pattern of openness, which will boost the joint development of all countries in the region," he said.In the past week, Xi also had a host of face-to-face meetings with global leaders on the sidelines of the events, including a high-profile meeting with President Biden on Monday.Both Xi and Biden emphasized the global implications of China-US relations, underscored the importance of establishing guiding principles for bilateral ties and agreed to push the relations back to a steady track.On Saturday, Xi held a brief exchange with US Vice-President Kamala Harris in Bangkok and he expressed hope that both sides would reduce miscalculations and misjudgments and jointly push for bilateral ties to return to the track of healthy and stable development.Harris said that the presidential meeting was a success, that the US doesn't seek confrontation or conflict with China and that both countries need to develop cooperation on global issues and maintain smooth channels for communication.The meeting between Xi and Biden was followed by talks between China's central bank governor Yi Gang and Janet Yellen, secretary of the Treasury of the US, as well as a meeting between Chinese Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao and US Trade Representative Katherine Dai.Foreign Minister Wang said the meeting charted the direction for China-US relations — preventing them from getting off course or out of control and finding the right way for the two nations to get along.Xu Liping, director of the Center of Southeast Asian Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said the meeting between the presidents of China

Ep 1英语新闻|President Xi urges Asia-Pacific integration
President Xi Jinping said on Thursday that the Asia-Pacific region is no one's backyard and should not become an arena for big power contests, and he called for advancing regional economic integration and building an Asia-Pacific community with a shared future.Xi made the remarks in a written speech at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation CEO Summit in Bangkok, Thailand. He arrived in the Thai capital on Thursday to attend the 29th APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting, which will be held on Friday and Saturday, and to visit Thailand.In the speech, Xi analyzed the regional situation amid changes in the international environment, saying that the overlapping effects of intensifying geopolitical tensions and the evolution of the economic landscape have had an impact on the development environment and cooperation architecture of the Asia-Pacific region.The Cold-War mindset, hegemonism, unilateralism and protectionism are rising, and moves to distort international norms, disconnect economic exchanges, instigate regional conflict and thwart development cooperation are often seen, Xi said. All of these have posed a grave threat to Asia-Pacific peace and development, he added.Xi underlined the need to follow a path of peaceful development, saying that bloc confrontation solves no problems, and prejudice brings disasters.It is because the Asia-Pacific region was freed from the shadow of the Cold War that the regional economies, particularly small and medium-sized ones, can enter the expressway toward modernization, Xi said. "No attempt to wage a new Cold War will ever be allowed by the people or by our times," he added.Xi called for upholding openness and inclusiveness and said that openness leads to progress, while exclusiveness surely results in backwardness. Undermining the long-lasting industrial and supply chains in the Asia-Pacific region will lead regional economic cooperation to a dead end, he said.As regional economies face difficulties related to disrupted supply chains, strained food and energy supplies and mounting inflationary pressure, Xi emphasized the need to strengthen solidarity and enhance mutual support and assistance to enable the Asia-Pacific to be a leader in boosting global economic recovery.In order to bolster the foundation for peaceful development, Xi called on countries to abide by the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, pursue the vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, and jointly reject the Cold War mentality and bloc confrontation."We need to build an Asia-Pacific security architecture to create conditions for ensuring economic development and durable peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific," he said.Xi called for forging a new partnership of unity and equality in the Asia-Pacific region — a partnership that will be balanced and inclusive."We need to deepen cooperation within the APEC framework, advance the building of a free trade area of the Asia-Pacific, ... achieve better alignment among the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership and the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement, and build an open Asia-Pacific economy," he said.Xi urged the promotion of higher-standard connectivity. "Unilateralism and protectionism should be rejected by all; any attempt to politicize and weaponize economic and trade relations should also be rejected by all," he said.Xi also reiterated China's commitment to peaceful development, saying that to follow the path of peaceful development is a strategic choice made by China in the fundamental interests of the Chinese people."We will strive to safeguard world peace and development as we pursue our own development, and we will make a greater contribution to world peace and development through our own development," Xi said.China stands ready to provide more resources for global development cooperation and work with all other parties to build a global community of development, Xi said.Raymund Chao, chairman for the Asia-Pacific region and China of professional services provider PwC, said Xi's proposal for advancing more inclusive and resilient global development with benefits shared for all is greatly important and positive in promoting world economic recovery, stability and growth.Ukrist Pathmanand, director of the Mekong Research Center of the Institute of Asian Studies at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University, said Xi's idea for greater Asia-Pacific regional economic integration is important, as the region needs a quick socioeconomic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.He said that Xi's speech aligns with Thailand's Bio-Circular-Green national strategy, and he noted that the BCG economic model is an overarching theme of this year's APEC meeting.记者:曹德胜杨涵对本文亦有贡献

Ep 1英语新闻丨Xi, Widodo vow to take ties to new level
President Xi Jinping and Indonesian President Joko Widodo pledged on Wednesday to foster a new pattern of high-level cooperation, as both leaders reached key consensuses on the building of a bilateral community with a shared future during a meeting on Wednesday.The meeting between Xi and Widodo on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Bali was their second sit-down within four months. The Indonesian leader made his fifth trip to China in July, becoming the first foreign head of state to visit Beijing since the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.Before the meeting, the two leaders witnessed via video link the trial run of the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway, a landmark project of the Belt and Road Initiative that is expected to start operations in June and create 30,000 jobs for local people.Beijing stands ready to continue furthering the alignment of the BRI with Indonesia's Global Maritime Fulcrum strategy and enabling the completion and operations at an early date of the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway, the first high-speed railway in Southeast Asia, Xi said.Both sides should continue to move forward with the development of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Corridor and the "Two Countries, Twin Parks "project to bring bilateral cooperation to a new level, Xi said.The cooperation between the two nations has yielded tangible achievements that not only have benefited the two peoples but also have had a positive influence at the regional and global levels.Xi vowed continued support to Indonesia in developing a regional production center for vaccines as well as related joint research and development.China will welcome the imports of more quality products from Indonesia and will encourage more Chinese businesses to take part in the building of major infrastructure projects in the nation, including the country's new capital and the green industrial park in the province of North Kalimantan, Xi said.The two sides should expand cooperation on the digital economy and green development, he added.The president also called on the two nations, both major developing countries and emerging markets, to uphold true multilateralism and focus on key sectors including poverty alleviation, food security and development financing to build landmark projects of the Global Development Initiative.Both sides should contribute to stronger, green and healthy global development and promote global governance that is more just and equitable, Xi said.He expressed support for Indonesia's holding of the rotating chairmanship of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations next year, saying that the two countries should focus on development and cooperation, promote the building of a peaceful, safe and secure, prosperous, beautiful and amicable home, and forge an even closer China-ASEAN community with a shared future.Widodo began the talks by calling Xi "my big brother" and again congratulated Xi on his reelection as general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.Indonesia appreciates the bilateral cooperation on the research, development and production of COVID-19 vaccines, and stands ready to step up cooperation in healthcare, he said.Widodo expressed hope that the two nations can deepen strategic and pragmatic cooperation and jointly build a bilateral community with a shared future, adding that Indonesia stands ready to proactively promote friendship and cooperation between ASEAN and China.Witnessed by Xi and Widodo, the two sides signed cooperation documents including an action plan to bolster the bilateral comprehensive strategic partnership (2022-26) as well as plans on Belt and Road cooperation, industrial vocational training, the digital economy and expansion of bilateral economic and trade cooperation.China has been the largest trading partner of Indonesia for nine consecutive years and the largest destination of Indonesian exports for six consecutive years.Trade between the two nations surged 30.2 percent year-on-year in the first nine months of this year, reaching 721.1 billion yuan ($101.7 billion), according to the General Administration of Customs. Bilateral trade rose to $124.4 billion in 2021, increasing nearly 60 percent year-on-year.记者:徐伟

Ep 1英语新闻|Xi stresses need for inclusive growth
President Xi Jinping emphasized on Tuesday the need to make global development more inclusive, beneficial to all and more resilient, as he called on Group of 20 members to lead by example in promoting common development and jointly improving the well-being of mankind.In a speech delivered at the first session of the 17th G20 Summit in Bali, Indonesia, Xi underlined food and energy security as the most pressing challenges in global development, calling upon nations to resolutely oppose attempts to politicize food and energy issues or use them as tools or weapons."We meet at a time of momentous changes unseen in a century, changes that are consequential to the world, to our times, and to history," Xi told a roomful of global leaders from economies that represent over 80 percent of global GDP, 75 percent of international trade and 60 percent of the world's population.Xi noted challenges including the lingering COVID-19 pandemic, the tense geopolitical environment and severely inadequate global governance, saying that the food and energy crises have compounded each other."All countries should replace division with unity, confrontation with cooperation, and exclusion with inclusiveness," he said.He emphasized that drawing ideological lines or promoting group politics and bloc confrontation will only divide the world, and hinder global development and human progress."No one should engage in beggar-thy-neighbor practices, building 'a small yard with high fences', or creating closed and exclusive clubs," the president said.He called upon developed nations to provide more public goods and all major countries to do their best for the cause of global development.Xi announced that Beijing will increase its commitments to the China-UN Peace and Development Fund, and the nation will make a list of items for practical cooperation, set up an open-ended pool of projects under the Global Development Initiative, and draw up a road map for the initiative's implementation."We need to build a global partnership for economic recovery, prioritize development and put the people at the center, always keep in mind the difficulties faced by developing countries, and accommodate their concerns," he said.He expressed China's support for letting the African Union join the G20.As part of the effort to continue deepening global cooperation on fighting the pandemic, Xi highlighted the need to raise the accessibility to and affordability of vaccines, medicines and diagnostic and treatment methods in developing countries to better facilitate economic recovery.Xi underlined that the root cause of the ongoing food and energy crises does not lie in production or demand, but in disruptions to supply chains and international cooperation.He pointed out that the way out of the crises is for all countries to enhance cooperation on market supervision and regulation, build partnerships on commodities, develop an open, stable and sustainable commodities market, and work together to unclog supply chains and stabilize market prices.Unilateral sanctions must be removed and restrictions on relevant scientific and technological cooperation must be lifted to solve the issues, he added.Indonesian President Joko Widodo, the chair of the summit, emphasized the need to immediately take steps to ensure sufficient availability of fertilizer at an affordable price, warning that high food prices could worsen, leading to a food supply crisis.He also underlined the responsibility of the G20 leaders not only to their own people but also for all the world's people. "We should not divide the world into parts. We must not allow the world to fall into another Cold War," Widodo said.IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva highlighted the need to remove trade barriers for food and fertilizers to counter the suffering of hundreds of millions of people."We must not allow protectionism to take root, and the world to drift into separate blocs," she said, adding that the organization's calculations indicate that a world divided would lose at least 1.5 percent of GDP annually.Lili Yan Ing, lead adviser at the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia, a think tank in Jakarta, said the commitments of President Xi and China, one of the world's largest economies and political powers, are crucial to ensuring global political and economic stability.China's commitments are particularly important because the nation has the resources, institutions and human capital to solve pressing issues, she said.记者:徐伟politicize英 [pəˈlɪtɪsaɪz] 美 [pəˈlɪtɪsaɪz]v. 使政治化consequential英 [ˌkɒnsɪˈkwenʃ(ə)l] 美 [ˌkɑːnsɪˈkwenʃ(ə)l]adj. 重要的affordability 英 [əˌfɔːdəˈbɪləti] 美 [əˌfɔːrdəˈbɪləti]n.可购性,负担能力

英语新闻|“逆向旅游”受年轻人青睐 前景看好Going againstthe tide of flocking to well-known yet generally jam-packed touristdestinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend tospend their leisure time at lesser-known resorts to seek unique, relaxed holidayexperiences.在中国,越来越多的度假者倾向于把闲暇时间花在不太知名的度假胜地,以寻求独特、轻松的度假体验,这与人们在度假时蜂拥前往知名但普遍拥挤的旅游目的地的潮流相反。"Reversetourism" has emerged as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China.“逆向旅游”已成为中国年轻度假者中流行的一种新趋势。"Man moves1 meter every 10 minutes on Huangshan Mountain" became a trending topic onsocial media during this year's National Day holiday in October, a time whenwell-known tourist attractions such as Huangshan generally operate at fullcapacity.在今年十一国庆假期,“黄山旅游者每10分钟移动1米”成为社交媒体上的热门话题,而在这段时间,黄山等知名旅游景点通常都是人满为患。The newsreminded some of a social media post in August about a comfortable stay in anupscale hotel in the lesser-known northeastern border city of Hegang at only318 yuan per night.这条新闻让一些人想起了今年8月社交媒体上的一篇帖子,内容是在不太知名的东北边境城市鹤岗的一家高档酒店舒适地住宿,每晚只需318元。During theweeklong public holiday, which ended on Oct 7, large numbers of vacationers,especially young professionals who long to escape hectic city life,shunned popular holiday destinations in order to get off the beaten track andenjoy some peace and quiet.在十一假期期间,大量度假者,尤其是渴望逃离繁忙城市生活的年轻职场人士,为了不走寻常路,享受一些闲适与宁静,而避开了热门度假目的地。According todata from online travel agency Qunar, as cited by Beijing Daily, the number ofrooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30percent year-on-year.《北京日报》报道称,据在线旅游机构去哪儿网的数据,十一假期期间,在游客较少的城市,酒店预订的房间数量同比增长了30%。Bookings forfour — and five-star hotels in less-traveled places including Linxia in Gansuprovince, Shizuishan in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, and Haibei inQinghai province all increased at least 10-fold compared with the same periodof 2021.在游客较少的地区,包括甘肃临夏、宁夏回族自治区石嘴山和青海海北,四星级和五星级酒店十一假期期间的预订量都比2021年同期增长了至少10倍。In Shandongprovince, for instance, some lesser-known scenic spots posted double-digitgrowth during the holiday. Baimaiquan Park in the provincial capital of Jinanreceived 52,100 visits in the seven days, up 15.78 percent year-over-year.例如,山东省一些不太知名的景点在假期期间游客数量出现了两位数的增长。省会济南的百脉泉公园在十一假期内接待了5.21万名游客,同比增长15.78%。Some youngprofessionals who normally have little time for themselves simply had astaycation in a hotel to make the much-awaited hiatus more relaxing.一些年轻的职场人士通常很少有自己的时间,他们干脆在酒店里宅度假,让这段期待已久的假期更放松。Besides crowds,some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips topopular destinations, which often entail pricey tickets, mealsand hotel stays.除了拥挤的人群之外,一些度假者选择人迹罕至的地方,是为了节省前往热门目的地的旅行费用,因为前往热门目的地的机票、餐饮和酒店住宿往往都很昂贵。"Tourismused to be about sightseeing. Now it is about experiences," Dai Bin,president of the China Tourism Academy, told Beijing Daily.中国旅游研究院的院长戴斌告诉《北京日报》说:“旅游业过去是观光,现在是体验。”He said populartourist spots are always packed and often raise their prices during holidays.As people become more mature travelers, they are increasingly reluctant tofollow the herd. Some of them are simply looking to take a rest somewhere quietfor a couple of days, which is a good way to vacation, he noted.他说,热门旅游景点总是客满,而且经常在假期提价。随着人们成为更成熟的旅行者,他们越来越不愿意随大流。他指出,有些人只是想找个安静的地方休息几天,这是一个很好的度假方式。In addition,lesser-known attractions are not as "commercial" and "standardized"as developed ones and are able to offer more authentic experiences and naturalencounters, according to social media posts. And unlike popular destinations,some underexplored places with little online exposure can offer more surprises.此外,据社交媒体帖子称,不太知名的景点不像发达景点那样“商业化”和“标准化”,能够提供更真实的经历和自然体验。与热门目的地不同的是,一些未被开发、很少在网上曝光的地方可以带来更多惊喜。COVID-19 isanother key factor fueling reverse tourism. As precautionary measures continue,traveling has an unpredictable quality. A traveler has no way of knowing whatlies ahead before departure, be it a perfect holiday or one interrupted by asudden outbreak. Travelers have thus become more cautious and tend to chooselocal attractions or places with fewer tourists.新冠肺炎疫情是推动逆向旅游的另一个关键因素。随着预防措施的继续,旅行具有不可预测性。旅行者在出发前无法知道前方会发生什么,是完美的假期,还是会被突发疫情打断。因此,旅行者变得更加谨慎,倾向于选择当地景点或游客较少的地方。"The riseof reverse tourism is not a bad thing," said an opinion piece in ZhengzhouDaily. It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings morepossibilities to the tourism market, the article explains.“逆向旅游的兴起并不是一件坏事,”《郑州日报》的一篇评论文章写道。文章解释说,这意味着度假者现在有了更多的选择,给旅游市场带来了更多的可能性。Moreimportantly, it noted, the trend is set to force popular destinations toimprove themselves instead of resting on their laurels.报道指出,更重要的是,这一趋势将迫使热门旅游目的地改善自身,而不是躺在过去的光环上。Jiang Han, asenior researcher at the Beijing-based public policy think tank Pangoal, saidthat reverse tourism will become one of the future directions for the marketand is an opportunity for growth comparable to the camping economy.位于北京的公共政策研究机构盘古智库的高级研究员江瀚说,逆向旅游将成为未来旅游市场的趋势之一,其发展机会可以与露营经济相媲美。To give a realboost to the tourism market, Jiang suggested that more efforts be made to tapthe potential of underrated, lesser-known destinations.江瀚建议,为了真正促进旅游市场的发展,要更加努力地

Ep 1英语新闻丨Xi, Biden try to put ties back on track
President Xi Jinping and United States President Joe Biden agreed on Monday to take concrete steps to put bilateral ties back on the track of stable development, as the two sides reached consensus on key issues such as climate change, trade, public health, agriculture and food security.The two leaders had a meeting of about three hours on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Bali, their first sit-down since Biden took office in January 2021.Both nations pledged to enable their diplomatic teams to maintain strategic communications and frequent consultations as well as dialogue and coordination on macroeconomic policies, economy and trade, according to a summary of the meeting.They both highlighted the significance of people-to-people exchanges between China and the US, pledging to expand the exchanges in personnel in various areas.In his opening remarks, Xi highlighted the joint responsibility he and Biden had in anchoring the future direction of bilateral relations and placing ties on the right track."I look forward to working with you, Mr President, to bring China-US relations back to the track of healthy and stable growth to the benefit of our two countries and the world as a whole," Xi said.He pointed out that the current state of China-US relations is not in the fundamental interests of the two countries and their people, and is not what the international community expects.China-US relations should not be a zero-sum game where one side outcompetes or thrives at the expense of the other, and the success of both nations should be seen as opportunities, instead of challenges, for each other, Xi said.The world is big enough to accommodate the respective development and common prosperity of both nations, he added.He called upon the two sides to put each other's domestic and foreign policies, as well as strategic intentions, in the right perspective, saying that bilateral interactions should be defined by dialogue and win-win cooperation, not confrontation and zero-sum competition.China has never sought to reshape the current international order, or to interfere in the internal affairs of the US, and China has no intention of challenging or displacing the US, Xi said.The two sides should respect each other, coexist in peace, pursue win-win cooperation, and work together to ensure that China-US relations move forward on the right course without losing direction or speed, or still less having a collision, Xi added.Xi gave a full account of the origin of the Taiwan question and China's principled position.He stressed that the Taiwan question is at the very core of China's core interests, the bedrock of the political foundation of China-US relations, and the first red line that must not be crossed in China-US relations. Resolving the Taiwan question is a matter for the Chinese people and China's internal affair.It is the common aspiration of the Chinese people and nation to realize national reunification and safeguard territorial integrity, Xi said.Anyone who seeks to split Taiwan from China will be violating the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation, and the Chinese people will absolutely not let that happen, said the president.Beijing hopes to see, and has been all along committed to, peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits. However, cross-Straits peace and stability and "Taiwan independence" are as irreconcilable as water and fire, Xi said.The president expressed hope that Washington will match its words with action and abide by the one-China policy and the three joint communiques, and the US side will act on its assurances with real effect.Xi also explained to Biden China's whole-process people's democracy, saying that China has Chinese-style democracy just as the US has American-style democracy, and both fit their respective national conditions.He said the so-called "democracy versus authoritarianism" narrative is not the defining feature of today's world, and does not represent the trend of the times.The president highlighted the vital importance of the two nations to recognize and respect differences in their paths and systems if they are to get along.Neither side should try to remold the other in one's own image, or seek to change or even subvert the other's system, he said.Even though the two sides have different histories, cultures, social systems and development paths, such differences should not become an obstacle to growing bilateral relations, he said.The Chinese nation has the proud tradition of standing up for itself, and suppression and containment will only strengthen the will and boost the morale of the Chinese people, Xi said.He stressed that starting a trade or technology war, building walls and barriers, and pushing for decoupling and severing supply chains all run counter to the principles of a market economy and undermine international trade rules.Such attempts serve no one's interests, Xi said.He reiterated Beijing's opposition to politicizing and weaponizing economic and t

The National Health Commission announced the latest fine-tuning of the country's pandemic control measureson Friday. While there is no change to the "dynamic clearing" policy,the most recent adjustments are clearly meant to apply that policy in a mannerthat maintains its effectiveness while allowing economic and social activitiesto proceed as smoothly as possible.11月11日,国家卫健委发布了对疫情防控措施的最新优化调整。虽然"动态清零"政策没有改变,但最近的调整显然意在坚持"动态清零"的同时保证经济和社会活动顺利进行。Among the 20 measures the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of theState Council announced on Friday, are adjusting risk areas into high and lowcategories, shorter quarantines for inbound travelers and the "closecontacts" of those infected, lifting restrictions on "secondarycontacts", and removal of the "circuit breaker" mechanism for incominginternational flights. There are also clear requirements for the guarantee ofservices to people in home-isolation and quarantine. The measures represent awell-balanced move to ease the disruptions to people's lives and further openup the country to inbound travel.国务院联防联控机制11月11日宣布的20项措施包括:将风险区调整为高、低两类,对入境旅客和感染者的“密切接触者”实行短期隔离,取消对“次密接”的限制,取消对入境国际航班的“熔断”机制。此外,对居家隔离人员的服务保障也提出明确要求。这些措施是一种平衡的举措,旨在缓解疫情对人民生活的干扰,进一步开放中国入境旅游。As long as the discourse about pandemic containment protocol proceeds onthe track of reason and science, updating the policy in accordance with thechanging pandemic situation is the correct approach. At a news conference onSaturday, National Health Commission officials promised to continue fine-tuningthe pandemic response going forward.只要对疫情防控条例的论述是理性和科学的,根据疫情形势变化对政策进行更新就是正确的选择。在11月12日的新闻发布会上,卫健委官员承诺,将继续对疫情防控措施进行优化调整。The Chinese model of pandemic containment, featuring early detection andearly intervention, has proven efficient and contributed greatly to thecountry's achievements in the initial stage. But as the virus has mutated andmore variants have emerged that are able to spread at a faster pace, findingways to make quicker targeted interventions to shorten and break transmissionchains has become the focus so as to keep the disruptions to people's lives andeconomic operations to a minimum.中国的疫情防控模式具有早期发现和早期干预的特点,并被证明有效,为国家在疫情防控初期取得的成绩做出了巨大贡献。但随着病毒的变异和更多传播速度更快的新冠变体的出现,应该寻找更快更精准的干预措施以缩短和打破传播链,以将疫情对人民生活和经济运行的干扰降至最低。The latest measures show that with the benefit of experience, localgovernments are expected to be on the alert for any emergence of the virus andto respond in a timely manner so that they do not need to adopt a belated and widespread one-size-fits-all approach to try and contain theoutbreak.最新措施表明,地方政府将根据防疫经验,对病毒的出现保持高度警惕,并及时作出反应,不再需要在事后采取普遍"一刀切"的管控办法。By making early, rapid responses to any outbreaks, local governments canminimize the impact of the prevention and control measures on economicoperations and the disruptions to people's lives. The latest adjustments makethe prevention and control work more standardized and agile, and mean that if everyone fulfills their duties and responsibilitiesall will be able to reap the benefits.通过对疫情及时、快速的响应,地方政府能减少防控措施对经济运行和人民生活造成的影响。最新的政策调整,能使防控工作更加规范、灵活。这意味着如果人人都尽到疫情防控责任,所有人都会受益。fine-tuning英 [ˌfaɪn ˈtjuːnɪŋ] 美 [ˌfaɪn ˈtuːnɪŋ]n.微调belated英 [bɪˈleɪtɪd] 美 [bɪˈleɪtɪd]adj.迟来的agile英 [ˈædʒaɪl] 美 [ˈædʒ(ə)l]adj.灵活的

Ep 1英语新闻|Upcoming SE Asia visits fuel expectations on China's role
President Xi Jinping's upcoming trip to Southeast Asia for multilateral summits and bilateral talks has fueled expectations that China will play more important roles in improving global governance and offering solutions to key issues including climate change and food and energy security.Xi will attend the 17th G20 Summit in Bali, Indonesia, from Monday to Thursday, before attending the 29th APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in Bangkok and visiting Thailand from Thursday to Saturday, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry.The trip will also include a host of bilateral meetings, including talks scheduled with French President Emmanuel Macron and US President Joe Biden.Xu Liping, director of the Center of Southeast Asian Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said one of the priorities during Xi's trip to Bali and Bangkok could be laying out China's solutions and Chinese wisdom regarding some of the most pressing global issues."China has emerged as a stabilizing force for the global economic recovery, and the nation should offer more confidence to the world in the context of a potential economic crisis," he said.The trip will be monumental in China's diplomacy as it marks the first foreign visit by the nation's top leader since the 20th CPC National Congress, which mapped out the nation's development for the coming five years and beyond."It will be an occasion for the Chinese leader to put forward new plans and propositions in the nation's diplomacy and, through positive engagement with leaders of other countries, advocate the building of a community with a shared future for mankind," he said.The presidents of China and the US will have their first sit-down since the beginning of the pandemic, and since Biden took office in January 2021.US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said at a press briefing on Thursday that Xi and Biden's meeting will be "an in-depth and substantive opportunity to better understand one another's priorities and intentions, to address differences and to identify areas where we can work together".Oriana Skylar Mastro, a research fellow at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University, said the Biden administration would like to discuss issues like climate change and to create some basis for cooperation between China and the US."The hope is that this will stop the downward spiral in relations," she said.Xu said the international community has high expectations for this meeting given the importance of Beijing and Washington managing their differences, jointly responding to global challenges and upholding global peace and stability.He added that communication between the two heads-of-state plays an important role in navigating and managing Sino-US ties.Talking about China's constructive role in the G20 and APEC, Xu said it is becoming increasingly prominent.One of the three priorities for this year's G20 Summit is digital transformation, an issue that was first proposed during the G20 Hangzhou Summit in 2016, he said.Spillover from the Ukraine crisis and the global food and energy crises points to the need for heightened solidarity among nations, and China has set an example in upholding open regionalism and multilateralism, as well as peace and win-win cooperation, Xu said.China and a host of G20 countries have devoted financial commitments of over $1.4 billion toward the establishment of a Pandemic Fund, which will offer financing to strengthen prevention, preparedness and response capabilities in low- and middle-income countries.Muhadi Sugiono, a research fellow on international relations at Gadjah Mada University in Indonesia, told Xinhua News Agency that he looks forward to China continuing to play its role as a responsible major country, promoting various nations in focusing on common interests at the G20 Summit, coming up with aid policies for developing countries and spurring global economic recovery.Xi's visit is also expected to give further impetus to China's ties with Indonesia and Thailand, including cooperation on the Belt and Road Initiative and the green economy.A test run of the Jakarta-Bandung High-Speed Railway, one of the landmark projects for the BRI, will be held during the G20 Summit, according to Indonesian authorities.Xu, from CASS, said there is immense potential for Beijing and Jakarta to bolster cooperation over infrastructure development and the green and digital economy."There is also much room for the integration between the China-Laos Railway and China-Thailand railway to boost connectivity in the region," he said.记者:徐伟spiral英 [ˈspaɪrəl] 美 [ˈspaɪrəl]n.螺旋形spillover英 [ˈspɪləʊvə(r)] 美 [ˈspɪloʊvər]n.溢出connectivity 英 [kəˌnekˈtɪvəti] 美 [kəˌnekˈtɪvəti]n.连通性

Ep 1英语新闻|马斯克:可以骂我一整天,但要交8美元
Twitter'snew boss, Elon Musk, responded on Friday to criticism over a new policy thatrequires Twitter users to pay $8 a month for bluetick verification, saying,"Trash me all day,but it'll cost $8."11月5日,推特的新老板埃隆·马斯克针对推特用户需每月支付8美元获得蓝V认证的新政策,用“可以骂我一整天,但要交8美元”这句话回应了批评与争议。As part of changes after a $44bn takeover of thesocial media site, Mr Musk said it was "essential to defeat spam/scam". He added that paid users would havepriority in replies and searches, and half as many advertisements.作为对推特440亿美元收购后变革的一部分,马斯克表示这是 “打败垃圾邮件/诈骗的关键”。他还补充说,这些付费用户将在回复和搜索功能上拥有优先权,广告数量也将减少一半。The sought-after blue tick was previously only availableto high-profile or influential individuals and organizations - who were askedto prove their identity. It has been used as a sign that a profile isauthentic, and is a key tool to help users identify reliable information on theplatform.据悉,蓝V认证通常提供给知名人士或有影响力的个人和组织,用来证明他们的身份。它已经被用作为标志,表明个人资料是真实的。"Powerto the people! Blue for $8/month," the billionaire said on Twitter,criticizing the old method of blue tick verification as a "lords andpeasants system".马斯克在推特上说,“权力属于人民!蓝V认证8美元/月”,批评旧的蓝V认证是“贵族平民制度”。But the move is notsupported by everyone. Earlier, The US technology media The Verge predicted onOctober 31 that Musk's first big move may be to charge all Twitter blue tick verification users about $20 per month. 但此举并没有得到所有人的支持。此前,美国科技媒体The Verge10月31日就预测称,马斯克的第一个大动作可能是对所有推特蓝V认证用户收取每月约20美元的费用。Stephen King, awell-known American author, said "they (Twitter) should pay me" afterthe news broke. He also said that if the policy was true, he would leaveTwitter.美国知名作家斯蒂芬·金在消息传出后表示,“推特应该给我付钱”。他还称,如果这个政策是真实的,他将离开推特。However, Musk responded: "We need to pay the billssomehow! Twitter cannot rely entirely on advertisers. How about $8?"马斯克也对此回应称,“我们需要以某种方式支付账单!推特不能完全依赖广告商,8美金怎么样?”Althoughthe charging policy did not satisfy everyone, Musk reiterated his position in the face of people’s dissatisfaction.尽管此次的收费政策并没有让所有人表示满意,但面对外界的不满,马斯克依旧在推文中重申自己的立场。Twitter on Saturday updated its app in Apple's App Storeto begin charging $8 for sought-after blue check verification marks. In an update to iOSdevices, users who pay $7.99 a month will be able to receive a blue verification mark next to their username.据路透社报道,推特更新了其在苹果应用商店的应用程序,开始对蓝V认证标记收取8美元/月的费用。在对苹果iOS设备的更新中,推特表示,每月支付7.99美元的用户,可以在他们的用户名旁边收到蓝色的认证标记。For now, the new service is only available in the United States, Canada,Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. But Musk has tweeted that "As soon as we confirm it's workingwell in the initial set of countries and we havethe translation work done, it will roll out worldwide."目前,这一新服务仅供美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰和英国用户使用。但马斯克已在推特上表示,“一旦我们确认新服务在首批试行国家运作良好,并完成相关翻译工作,这项服务就会在全球推广。”编辑:焦洁 张婉诗英文来源:BBC 观察者网 路透社verification英[ˌverɪfɪˈkeɪʃn];美[ˌverɪfɪˈkeɪʃn]n. 证实spam英[spæm];美[spæm]n. 垃圾邮件reiterate英[riˈɪtəreɪt];美[riˈɪtəreɪt]v. 重申

A hand moves the nozzle back and forth as dirt and grime are methodically washed away. Then, the detailer uses a scrub brush attached to a power drill to attack the dirt stuck in the mat's groves. Recently, videos of carpet washinghave become popular on social media with people looking to relieve stress.清洁工将一条充满污垢的地毯反复用高压水枪冲洗,加泡沫清洁剂后用螺旋机和毛刷深度清理,一块脏到发黑的地毯干净如新。洗地毯成为目前社交媒体上大热的解压视频。The magic of these videos may have something to do with sound. This kind of calm, low-volume audio-visual experience can trigger a pleasurable response called an autonomous sensory meridian response, or ASMR. 这些解压视频的魔力或许与其音效有关。这样的视听体验会触发一种愉悦感,在医学领域被称作“自发性知觉经络反应”,简称ASMR。ASMR focuses on eardrum stimulation and amplifies subtle sounds to make the user feel an "intracranial orgasm." But the factors that trigger AMSR are different for different people. Some people report that their ASMR is sparked by soft sounds like whispers or oscillating fans. Others prefer the sounds and sights associated with cleaning, like running faucets or rotating brush bristles. ASMR专注于耳膜刺激,放大细微的声音让用户感受“颅内高潮”。但对于不同的人来说,触发AMSR的因子各不相同。一些人报告称柔和的声音会激发自己的ASMR,例如低声耳语或者摆动的风扇,而有的人更偏爱与清洁相关的视听内容,例如水流不停的水龙头,或者旋转的毛刷。Different people have different feelings about ASMR. Many describe the response as a tingling feeling that begins in their scalp, neck or shoulder. ASMR can help a person relax, and people have reported that it calms them before sleep. 不同人对于ASMR的感受也不尽相同,许多人描述自己从头皮到颈肩部阵阵酥麻。ASMR可以帮助人们放松下来,也有人表示睡前聆听ASMR能平复情绪。A 2018 study published in Plos One showed that about 81% of people feel ASMR, and the average age at which they first become aware of this sensation is around 15 years old. Most of them reported using ASMR videos to trigger feelings of pleasure.2018年发表在《公共科学图书馆·综合》上的一项研究表明,约81%的人能感受到ASMR,他们首次意识到这一能力的平均年龄约为15岁。他们中的大多数人表示,会用ASMR视频来触发愉悦感。For those who don’t feel ASMR effects, the study found there were still benefits. ASMR content lowered participants' heart rates and they reported feeling more relaxed.研究发现,那些无法感受到ASMR的人仍能因此受益。ASMR内容会降低其心率,他们也向研究者表示,自己观看后会放松心情。"So, it's possible that even if you don’t get the ASMR tingling response, you might still get emotional benefits from ASMR content," says Giulia Lara Poerio, the study's lead author and a psychologist at the University of Essex in England. 研究的主要作者、英格兰埃塞克斯大学心理学家朱莉娅·拉拉·波里奥表示,“即使你无法获得ASMR那种酥麻的感觉,你仍有可能通过 ASMR 内容收获有益的情绪价值。”People who experienced ASMR had higher scores for neuroticism and openness to experience. They also had lower levels of conscientiousness, extraversion and agreeableness. 能够感受到ASMR的人具有几种共同的性格特质:他们对于体验的神经质和开放性程度方面得分更高,而其责任心、外向性和随和性水平则偏低。The researchers confirmed that people who experienced ASMR had higher levels of neuroticism. The participants also reported higher levels of anxiety, which they felt was soothed by ASMR content. The scientists concluded that ASMR has the potential of becoming a medical treatment.后续研究也发现,能感受到ASMR的人神经质程度更高,也具有更高的焦虑感,ASMR内容恰好能缓解这种焦虑。科学家由此得出结论,ASMR有潜力作为一种医学治疗手段。来源:北京青年报扬子晚报红星新闻Discover Magazinefaucet英[ˈfɔːsɪt];美[ˈfɔːsɪt]n.水龙头tingle英[ˈtɪŋɡl];美[ˈtɪŋɡl]v.使…感到刺痛scalp英[skælp];美[skælp]n.头皮

In doing so, these countries deem cyberspace to be a new realm in which the law of the jungle should prevail.世界正经历巨大变化,而一些国家正竭尽全力借此进行投机,以制造分裂、猜疑和冲突为代价,达成自己的狭隘目的。这些国家把网络空间当作丛林法则主导的又一个领域。China, on the other hand, regards cyberspace as a realm for international cooperation and the internet as a means to advance the well-being of humankind. Thus it advocates that countries work together to tap the potential of the technology to the fullest.相反,中国将网络空间视为国际合作领域,将互联网视为促进人类福祉的手段。因此,中国主张各国共同努力,充分挖掘技术潜力。To facilitate this, China held the first World Internet Conference in Wuzhen in 2014. It has since become an annual event.为此,中国于2014年在乌镇召开了第一届世界互联网大会。此后,世界互联网大会成为一年一度的大会。In the congratulatory letter he sent the opening of this year's three-day event, President Xi Jinping pointed out that in the face of the opportunities and challenges brought by digitalization, the international community should step up dialogue and exchanges, deepen practical cooperation, and work together to make cyberspace more vibrant, fairer and more equitable, more open and inclusive, safer and more stable.在习近平总书记致今年大会的贺信中指出,面对数字化带来的机遇和挑战,国际社会应加强对话交流、深化务实合作,携手构建更加公平合理、开放包容、安全稳定、富有生机活力的网络空间。That is why China set up the WIC International Organization in July. Headquartered in Beijing it aims to deepen international exchanges and cooperation to promote the building of a community with a shared future in cyberspace.这就是中国在7月成立世界互联网大会国际组织的原因。国际组织总部位于北京,旨在深化国际交流与合作,推动构建网络空间命运共同体。Those efforts should be supported by all countries that want cyberspace and information technology to serve the common interests of the world rather than the narrow ambitions of a few, so that the internet can contribute to the progress of human civilization, instead of accelerating its demise.所有希望网络空间和信息技术服务于世界共同利益而不是少数国家狭隘野心的国家应当支持这些努力,使互联网能够为人类文明的进步作出贡献,而非加速人类文明的灭亡。As Xi stressed, China is ready to work with other countries to embark on a global digital development path featuring shared digital resources, a vibrant digital economy, precise and efficient digital governance, thriving digital culture, strong digital security and mutually beneficial digital cooperation.正如习近平强调,中国愿同世界各国一道,携手走出一条数字资源共建共享、数字经济活力迸发、数字治理精准高效、数字文化繁荣发展、数字安全保障有力、数字合作互利共赢的全球数字发展道路。It has taken heavy costs — with the two world wars being cases in point — for humankind to come up with the current United Nations-centered multilateral world order and a series of norms governing international relations. We mustn't follow the same old disastrous road and repeat the same blunders in cyberspace.人类付出了沉重的代价——两次世界大战就是例子——才提出了当前以联合国为中心的多边世界秩序和一系列国际关系准则。我们不应重走灾难性的老路,在网络空间重复同样的错误。With the WIC, China has set the stage for all countries to come together with goodwill to draft the rules of behavior in cyberspace so it can be to the benefit of all.通过召开世界互联网大会,中国为各国共同以和平善意起草网络空间行为准则奠定了基础,从而造福于所有人民。Embark英 [ɪmˈbɑːk] 美 [ɪmˈbɑːrk]v. 开始Multilateral英 [ˌmʌltiˈlætərəl] 美 [ˌmʌltiˈlætərəl]adj. 多边的Blunder 英 [ˈblʌndə(r)] 美 [ˈblʌndər]v.犯愚蠢的错误
