英语新闻｜囤木柴、烧马粪、抢购炉子…… 欧洲“绝望”在升温Not far from Berlin’s Tempelhof airport, Peter Engelke isputting up a new security gate at his warehouse because of concerns aboutdesperate people pilfering his stock. The precious asset at risk is firewood.在距离柏林坦佩尔霍夫机场不远的地方，彼得·恩格尔克正在给自家仓库安装新的防盗门，因为担心有人走投无路来偷他的存货。这些有被盗风险的珍贵资产其实是木柴。Engelke’s actions reflect growing anxiety across Europe as thecontinent braces for energy shortfalls, and possibly blackouts, this winter. 从恩格尔克的举动可以看出，欧洲各地对今年冬天能源短缺和可能停电的担忧与日俱增。At a summit in Prague on Friday, European Union leaders fellshort of agreeing on a price cap for gas amid concerns that any such move couldthreaten supplies to the region. As much as 70% of European heating comes fromnatural gas and electricity, and with Russian deliveries drastically reduced,wood — already used by some 40 million people for heating — has become asought-after commodity.10月7日在布拉格举办的峰会上，欧盟领导人未能就天然气价格上限问题达成一致，因为担心类似举动可能影响对该地区的天然气供应。欧洲70%的供暖系统依靠天然气和电力，而由于俄罗斯对欧洲的天然气供应急剧下降，木材已经成为抢手货。已经有大约4000千万人靠木材取暖。Prices for wood pellets have nearly doubled to 600 euros a tonin France, and there are signs of panic buying of the world’s most basic fuel.Hungary even went so far as to ban exports of pellets, and Romania capped firewood prices for six months. Meanwhile, wood stoves can now take months todeliver.在法国，木屑棒作为最初级的燃料价格翻了一番，每吨接近600欧元，且存在抢购现象。匈牙利甚至禁止出口木屑棒，而罗马尼亚对木柴价格设置了半年的限制。此外，现在订购柴火炉要等几个月才能到货。Aside from concerns about shortages, the energy crisis isintensifying a surge in living expenses, with euro-zone inflation hittingdouble digits for the first time ever in September. Strapped households acrossthe region are increasingly faced with choosing between heating and otheressentials. 除了担心供应不足外，能源危机还在加剧生活成本的上涨，9月份欧元区通胀率首次达到两位数。越来越多捉襟见肘的欧洲家庭面临在供暖和其他生活必需品之间的取舍。“It’s back to the old days when people wouldn’t have the wholehouse heated,” said Nic Snell, managing director at British wholesale firewoodretailer Certainly Wood. “They’d sit around the fire and use the heat from thestove or open fire and go off to bed. There will be a lot more of that thiswinter.”英国木柴批发零售商Certainly Wood总经理尼克·斯纳尔说：“人们回到了没有全屋供暖的日子，需要靠近火坐着，靠炉子或篝火取暖然后再去睡觉。今年冬天这样的情况会更多。”The trend has meant a boom in demand for Gabriel Kakelugnar AB,a manufacturer of high-end tiled stoves costing an average of 86,000 Swedishkronor ($7,700). The stoves can keep a room warm for 24 hours because of itsintricate construction using different channels that hold and distribute theheat.对于Gabriel Kakelugnar AB来说，这一趋势意味着订单激增，该公司是一家高端瓷片炉具制造商，其炉具平均售价为86000瑞典克朗（约合人民币55000元）。由于炉子的结构复杂，使用不同的管道来保存和分散热量，因此可以使房间24小时保持温暖。“During the pandemic, people started to invest more in theirhomes. That has now of course escalated,” said Jesper Svensson, owner andmanaging director of the company. 该公司老板兼总经理杰斯珀·斯文森称，“疫情期间，人们开始增加对家的投资，现在当然更是如此了。”Orders have surged more than fourfold, and customers now have towait until March for delivery, compared with as little as four weeks a yearago.订单激增超四倍，现在顾客得等到明年3月份才能收到货，而相比之下，一年前等待的时间仅为1个月。For many Europeans, the key concern is doing whatever it takesto stay warm in the coming months. The worry has become ever more pressing asthe winter chill gets nearer, and the desperation for heat could create healthand environmental issues.对于许多欧洲人来说，他们最关心的是未来几个月如何取暖。随着寒冬临近，人们越来越担忧，而对供暖的迫切需求可能会引发健康和环境问题。“We are worried that people will just burn what they can gettheir hands on,” said Roger Sedin, head of the air quality unit at the SwedishEnvironmental Protection Agency, warning against poor ventilation and trying toburn wet firewood. “We can see very high pollution levels when you have peopleburning wood who don’t know how to do it correctly.”瑞典环境保护署空气质量部门负责人罗杰·塞丁警告：“我们担心人们会把他们能烧的东西都烧了。当人们不知道如何正确燃烧木材时，制造的污染会非常严重。”Particulate matter can end up deep in the lungs and cause heartattacks, strokes and asthma, he said, adding that the risk is particularlyacute in urban areas.他说，微粒物质最终会被吸入肺部，导致心脏病发作、中风和哮喘，城市地区居民面临的风险尤其严重。Inexperience is also evident in Germany, where the country’sassociation of chimney sweeps is dealing with a flood of requests to connectnew and old stoves, and customers are inquiring about burning horse dung andother obscure fuels.德国民众也十分缺乏相关经验，该国的烟囱清扫协会正在处理大量接通新旧炉子的请求，客户开始咨询有关燃烧马粪和其他不知名燃料的问题。There are also signs of hoarding. In France, Frederic Coirier,chief executive officer of Poujoulat SA, which makes chimney flues and produceswood fuels, said some clients have bought two tons of wood pellets, when lessthan one ton is normally enough to head a home for a year.还有迹象表明，有人在囤积木材。在法国，烟囱烟道和木材燃料生产商Poujoulat SA公司首席执行官弗雷德里克·科伊勒表示，一些客户已经购买了两吨木屑棒，而通常一个家庭一年需要的木屑棒不到一吨。“People are desperate for wood, and they are buying more thanusual,” said Trond Fjortoft, founder and CEO of Norwegian wood seller KortreistVed. “Usually it happens when it starts to get cold, ‘someone says, oh weshould order some wood.’ This year, that started in June.”挪威木材销售商Kortrist Ved创始人兼首席执行官特隆德·福约托夫特表示：“人们迫切需要木材，他们比平时采购更多。这种情况通常发生在天气开始变冷的时候，有人说，‘哦，我们应该订购一些木材’。而今年这种情况从6月就开始了。”编辑：董静英文来源：福布斯pilfer英[ˈpɪ

This representedan average annual growth rate of 6.1 percent after deducting pricefactors. And the per capita disposable income of Chinese residents was35,128 yuan, an increase of 18,618 yuan over 2012, representing an averageannual real growth rate of 6.6 percent and 0.5 percentage points faster thanthe average annual growth rate of per capita GDP in the same period.去年，中国人均GDP达到80976元（11329美元），比2012年增长69.7%。扣除价格因素，年均增长率为6.1%。居民人均可支配收入35128元，比2012年增加18618元，年均实际增速6.6%，快于同期人均国内生产总值年均增速0.5个百分点。In particular, nearly 100 million rural residents were lifted out of abject poverty over the past decade through a national poverty alleviationcampaign that was seamlessly docked with ongoing rural vitalization effortsaimed at narrowing the urban-rural development gap. The number of employedpeople in the country has remained stable at more than 740 million over thepast decade, with more than 11 million jobs created each year.十年间，国家脱贫攻坚战让近1亿农村人口摆脱了赤贫。为缩小城乡发展差距，乡村振兴战略持续推进，与脱贫攻坚无缝衔接。过去十年，全国就业人数稳定在7.4亿人以上，每年新增就业岗位1100多万个。At the same time, the country has accelerated the construction of itsmulti-level social security system, and built the world's largest socialsecurity system.

英语故事｜狗狗的嗅觉有多灵敏？能闻出你是否紧张Whether it’s a trickymaths problem or an unexpected bill, daily life is full of stressfulexperiences. Now researchers have found that humans produce a different odourwhen under pressure – and dogs can sniff it out.无论是棘手的数学题还是意想不到的账单，日常生活中总是有各种事让人压力山大。如今研究人员发现，人类在压力下会产生一种不同的体味，而狗狗可以嗅到这种味道。While previousstudies have suggested canines might pick up on human emotions, possiblythrough smell, questions remained over whether they could detect stress and ifthis could be done through scent.先前的研究表明，狗可以识别人类的情绪，可能是通过气味，但是对于狗狗能否通过气味识别人的精神压力还未有定论。"This study hasdefinitively proven that people, when they have a stress response, their odour profile changes,” said Clara Wilson, a PhD student at Queen’sUniversity Belfast, and first author of the research.该研究的第一作者、贝尔法斯特女王大学的博士生克拉拉·威尔逊说：“这项研究明确证实了人们在应对压力时体味会改变。”Wilson added thefindings could prove useful when training service dogs, such as those thatsupport people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).威尔逊说道，这一研究结果在训练服务犬尤其是协助创伤后应激障碍患者的狗狗时会很有用。Writing in thejournal Plos One, Wilson and colleagues report how they first constructed astand bearing three containers, each topped by a perforated lid.这份发表在《公共科学图书馆期刊》上的研究报告中写道，威尔逊和她的同事搭建起一个放着三个容器的台子，每个容器的盖子上都有孔。The researchersreport they were able to train four dogs to indicate the container holding aparticular breath and sweat sample, even when the line-up included unused gauze, samples from another person, or samples from the same persontaken at a different time of day.研究人员报告称，他们训练四只狗识别装有特殊气味和汗液样本的容器，其他容器中则盛放着没用过的纱布、另一个人的气味和汗液样本，或在不同时间段从同一个人身上采集的样本。Then the team turnedto breath and sweat samples collected from 36 people asked to count backwardsfrom 9,000 in units of 17. The participants reported feeling stressed by thetask and, for the 27 who carried it out in the laboratory, their blood pressureand heart rate rose.然后研究团队要求36个人从9000开始以17为单位倒数并从他们身上采集了气味和汗液样本。参与者报告称这个任务让他们感到紧张，其中在实验室执行任务的27人的血压和心率都有所上升。The dogs were taughtto pick out samples taken just after the task from a line-up that included twocontainers holding unused gauze.在任务结束后，研究人员让狗从三个容器中挑出装有样本的容器，另外两个容器装的是没用过的纱布。The researchers thentested whether the dogs could do the same when the line-up included not onlyunused gauze but samples taken from the same participant just before the task,when they were more relaxed. Each set of samples was shown to a single dog in20 trials.接着，研究人员又测试了这些狗能否在其他容器不止装有未用纱布的情况下还能挑出有目标样本的容器。研究人员在装有未用纱布的容器中放入了同一个参与者在执行任务前精神较为放松时被采集的样本，然后用每一组样本对每只狗进行了20次测试。The results revealthat the dogs chose the “stressed” sample in 675 out of the 720 trials.结果显示，狗狗们在720次测试中共有675次选择了“压力”样本。The team say while itwas unclear what chemicals the dogs were picking up on, the study shows humansproduce a different odour when stressed.研究团队表示，尽管尚不清楚这些狗嗅到了什么化学物质，但是研究表明，人类在情绪紧张时确实会产生不同的体味。编辑：丹妮英文来源：卫报perforated英['pɜ:fəreɪtɪd]；美[ˈpɚfəˌretɪd]adj. 穿孔的gauze英[gɔ:z]；美[ɡɔz]n. 纱布（包扎伤口用）odour英[ˈəʊdə(r)]；美[ˈoʊdər]n. 气味

To get in the mood for slumber, you can stretch, takea warm shower or bath, or read a book in a low-lit room.夜晚放松有助于入睡。至少在睡前一小时避免邮件、与家人严肃的谈话等会造成压力的活动。想要进入睡眠状态，你可以拉伸、洗个热水澡，或者在光线较暗的房间里看看书。Yes, alcohol makes you feelsleepy. But it makes it harder to stay asleep and can make you feel groggy inthe morning, too. If you do hit the hooch, stick to one drink and have it withdinner, or at least 2 to 3 hours before bedtime.酒精的确会让你昏昏欲睡。但它让你更难保持睡眠状态，还会让你在早上感到昏昏沉沉。如果你非要喝点酒，那就小酌一小杯，晚餐时喝，或者至少在睡觉前2到3小时喝。If you wake up some days at 6am, others at 8 am, and still others at 11 am, you’re confusing your circadianrhythm. While some people plan to let themselves sleep as late as possible onweekends, that can actually be counterintuitive, throwing off your body clockeven more.如果你有时在早上6点醒来，有时在8点醒来，有时在11点醒来，那就混乱了自己的生物钟。虽然有些人想在周末晚睡些，但实际上，这样做是有悖直觉的，甚至还会打乱生物钟。How to wake up quickly in themorning?早上如何快速清醒？Studies show that exposure tobright, white light in the morning can increase alertness. Sunlight is great,simply open your bedroom curtains.研究表明，早晨明亮的白光可以提高警觉性。阳光是很好的，拉开卧室的窗帘让明媚的阳光照进来。Starting your day with adaily wake-up meditation can help set the stage for a successful day.

She purchased the snakes from ShaoZijiu on June 20 and July 1, 2018, through trading platform Zhuanzhuan. Shaoasked others to send the snakes to Yang later via mail.据悉，杨某某购买了两条银环蛇。银环蛇是一种毒蛇，被列入了《国家保护的有益的或者有重要经济、科学研究价值的陆生野生动物名录》。杨某某于2018年6月20日和7月1日通过交易平台“转转”从邵某某处购买了银环蛇。邵某某随后通过快递将银环蛇寄送给杨某某。OnJuly 9, 2018, Yang was bitten by a snake on her left hand. Although she wassent to a hospital for treatment, she died a week later. Yang's parentsbelieved that their daughter's death was closely related to the sellers, onlineplatforms and delivery companies involved in the trade.2018年7月9日，杨某某左手被蛇咬伤。尽管被送医治疗，但一周后还是去世了。杨某某的父母认为，卖家、平台和快递公司对女儿的死亡负有不可推卸的责任。Yangwas informed by Shao of the risks of rearing the snakes but she insisted on buying them. Shewas bitten after she didn't use proper protection as instructed while feedingthe snakes. She also didn't seek professional treatment promptly after beingbitten nor did she truthfully tell the doctor she was bitten by a many-bandedkrait, causing a delay in treatment.邵某某曾告知养蛇的风险，但杨某某坚持购入。杨某某喂蛇时没有按照指示，未使用适当的保护措施，因此被咬伤。被咬后，杨某某并未立即寻求专业治疗，也没有如实告诉医生自己被一条银环蛇咬伤，耽误了治疗。Therefore,Yang should take the main responsibility, and the six defendants bear secondaryresponsibility, according to the verdict.因此，判决书显示，杨某某应承担主要责任，六名被告承担次要责任。Thesellers sold the snakes online publicly and the trading platform failed tonotice and stop such illegal behavior, it said.交易平台并未注意并制止在网上公开售卖蛇类这一违法行为。TheWildlife Protection Law stipulates that online trading platforms are prohibited fromproviding trading services for the sale of wild animals and their products. ThePostal Law prohibits the delivery of any live animal in the mail, and the twodelivery companies did not check the packages as required, it said.我国《野生动物保护法》明确规定，禁止网络平台为违法出售购买野生动物提供交易服务；《邮政法实施细则》规定，禁止寄递或者在邮件内夹带各种活的动物。两家快递公司也并未按照要求检视快递包裹。"Thiscase once again warns that online shopping participants, whether they purchase,sell or transport goods, must comply with the law and regulations," saidLiu Kongsheng, a lawyer with Shandong Chenze lawyer firm.山东辰泽律师事务所律师柳孔圣表示：“本案再次警示网络购物参与者，无论采购还是出售、运输货物，一定要依法依规。”记者：杨泽坤 编辑：陈月华verdict英[ˈvɜːdɪkt]；美[ˈvɜːrdɪkt]n. （陪审团的）裁决; 裁定; （经过试验、检验或体验发表的）决定; 意见rear英[rɪə(r)]；美[rɪr]vt.饲养;养育;抚养vt.&vi. 抬起n.后部，背面，背后;臀部;（舰队或军队的）后方，后尾，殿后部队;〈英口〉厕所vi.直立;高耸adj.后面的，后部的stipulate英[ˈstɪpjuleɪt]；美[ˈstɪpjuleɪt]vt.（尤指在协议或建议中）规定，约定，讲明（条件等）vi.规定，明确要求

英语新闻︱欧洲多国调查北溪天然气管道泄漏事件European nations are launching investigations into the cause of the leaks in the Nord Stream pipelines that link Russia and Germany through the Baltic Sea — already suspected by Scandinavian leaders tobe acts of sabotage.欧洲各国正对“北溪”管道泄漏的原因展开调查，“北溪”经由波罗的海海底，连接俄罗斯和德国。北欧多国高官怀疑管道泄漏是蓄意破坏。Germany's geological research center GFZ said that a seismograph on the Danish island of Bornholm, near wherethe leaks occurred, recorded spikes twice on Monday, the day when the NordStream 1 and 2 gas pipelines witnessed sharp falls in pressure.德国地质研究中心表示，丹麦博恩霍尔姆岛的地震仪显示，26日在“北溪-1”和“北溪-2”天然气管道压力骤减的时候，分别有两个时间点测试仪出现了峰值。The leaks reported are in Danish and Swedish maritime economic zones, not the nations' territorial waters.据丹麦和瑞典官方通报，“北溪-1”管道有两处泄漏点，位于丹麦博恩霍尔姆岛东北方向，分属于丹麦和瑞典海上专属经济区。Aerial photos by the Danish military show bubbling gas, with the areas in question ranging from 200 to 1,000 meters in diameter.丹麦军方发布的航拍画面显示，管道泄漏区域的水面上有大量气泡，泄漏区域面积直径在200米到1000米不等。Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that the authorities assessed that there have been "deliberate actions. It is not an accident".丹麦首相梅特·弗雷泽里克森表示，根据丹麦相关机构的综合评估，“北溪”天然气管道泄漏并非“事故”而是“蓄意破坏”。Outgoing Swedish PrimeMinister Magdalena Andersson said: "We have Swedish information and we have also been in touch with Denmark, and based on this, we have concluded that this is likely a deliberate act, that is, it is likely an act ofsabotage."即将离任的瑞典首相玛格达莱娜·安德松说：“我们得到了瑞典方面的信息，也一直与丹麦方面保持联系。基于这些信息，我们可以得出结论，此次泄漏可能是一起蓄意破坏行为。”Neither leader pointed fingers at any possible culprits.两位首相并未指出究竟是谁酿成此祸。Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia was "extremely concerned" by the reports ofdamage and that no option, including sabotage, could be ruled out at themoment.克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫表示，俄方对此“尤为关切”，不排除事故是破坏活动所致。"Obviously, there is adestruction of the pipeline. And what the reason is, there is no option that can be ruled out until the results of the investigation emerge," Peskovsaid.佩斯科夫说：“很明显管道遭到了损坏。至于原因，在调查结果出现之前，不能排除任何可能的选项。”Both the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines were built to deliver natural gas from Russia to Europe. While Russian gas giant Gazprom halted supplies via Nord Stream 1 early this monthfor technical maintenance, Nord Stream 2, a new project, never started operations. Germany halted its involvement in the project following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, but the pipeline is filled with gas to prepare for possible use.“北溪-1”和“北溪-2”天然气管道负责将天然气从俄罗斯输送到欧洲。虽然天然气巨头俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司在本月早些时候暂停了“北溪-1”的供气，以进行技术维护，但新项目“北溪-2”并未开始运营。俄乌冲突后，德国叫停了“北溪-2”项目。目前“北溪-2”天然气管道已完成供气准备，可随时投入运营。European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Tuesday called for authorities to "investigate the incidents, get full clarity on events and why".27日，欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩呼吁要“调查这些事件，弄清所有细节和原因”。European Commission spokesman Eric Mamer said: "We believe we do not have the elements in order to determine what is the reason for the leak."欧盟委员会发言人埃里克·马默表示：“我们还没有掌握相关的信息，无法确定泄漏的原因。”US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday that the initial reports indicated an attack or someother kind of sabotage, but "we haven't confirmed that yet".美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯27日表示，泄漏事件的初步调查报告显示，这可能是一次袭击或某种破坏的结果，但“我们还没有证实”。Yan Qin, an analyst at Refinitiv, said that the incident removed any possibility of gas flows resuming in Nord Stream 1 later this year or next year, adding that it was highly unlikely that Germany would agree to put Nord Stream 2 into operation.路孚特分析师秦炎表示，此次泄漏使得“北溪-1”管道不可能在今年晚些时候或明年恢复天然气供应。此外，德国不大可能同意让“北溪-2”天然气管道投入运营。"With zero supplies via Nord Stream now a factum, it will be challenging for Western Europe to fill gas storage next year, implying a prolonged period of gas shortages and elevated gas prices for Europeans," she told China Daily on Wednesday.秦炎28日接受本报采访时表示，北溪停止供应已成事实，将影响明年西欧的天然气供给，欧洲天然气短缺将持续较长时间，天然气价格也会保持在高位。记者：陈卫华Agencies contributed to thisstory.leak英[liːk]；美[liːk]vi.漏出;透露;（指消息，秘密等）泄密;漏电，漏水vt.使泄露;<非正式>擅自公开n.泄漏，漏洞;裂缝;漏出物;（俚语）撒尿sabotage英[ˈsæbətɑ:ʒ]；美[ˈsæbəˌtɑʒ]v.蓄意破坏;怠工;对…采取破坏行动，捣乱n.破坏活动culprit英[ˈkʌlprɪt]；美[ˈkʌlprɪt]n.犯人，罪犯;肇事者，被告人elevate英[ˈelɪveɪt]；美[ˈelɪveɪt]v.提拔，提升;提高;举起

英语新闻︱地震幸存者甘宇本周或将出院In a miracle of survival, a man was injured in an earthquake and lived alone for 17 days in the wild, subsisting on fruit as he struggled with a broken leg and fractured ribs.甘宇被困山林17天，因地震而脚部受伤、肋骨骨折的他靠吃野果维持生命，这是一个奇迹。Now, he may be discharged from a hospital this week after days of treatment in the intensive care ward.据悉，在ICU接受几天治疗后，甘宇本周将康复出院。Gan Yu, a 28-year-old hydropower station employee in Luding county, Sichuan province, was missing after the magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck the county on Sept 5. During his ordeal, he lost about 20 kilograms, but he is expected to soon be fully recovered.28岁的甘宇是四川省泸定县水电站工作人员，在9月5日发生6.8级地震后失联。被困17天的甘宇瘦了近40斤，经过治疗，他的情况日渐好转。Gan was found alive on Sept 21, and was taken to Sichuan University's West China Hospital.9月21日，甘宇获救，并被转运至四川大学华西医院。Reclining on a hospital bed and wearing eyeglasses, Gan seems to think clearly, and smiles and speaks softly to visitors. Were it not for the bandages on his body, one would hardly imagine he had just survived a harrowing trauma.斜躺在病床上的甘宇戴着一副新配的眼镜，面对媒体的提问应答流畅、思路清晰、笑容温和、语调平缓。如果不是身上四处包扎的伤口，你很难想象他刚刚在没有任何食物补给和物资保障的情况下，野外生存了17天。After the earthquake, Gan and 41-year-old co-worker Luo Yong had cleared away rubble in the Wandong Hydropower Station to save another worker. They also pulled open the floodgates in time to avert a disaster that could have washed away farmland and houses.地震发生当天，甘宇和41岁的同事罗永在废墟中救出了另一名工友。他们还放弃逃生，及时开闸泄洪，防止村庄农田被淹。But things got worse for Gan: He lost his eyeglasses and couldn't see well.然而甘宇的眼镜却弄丢了，看不清道。Guided by Luo, he walked 20 or 30 kilometers from the station. But he became too weak to go farther and decided to stay where he was and wait for Luo to return with rescuers. Luo was found on Sept 8,but rescuers were unable to find Gan.在罗永的帮助下，他们从水电站走了二三十公里。但是甘宇太过虚弱，体力已经耗尽，于是决定呆在原地，等待罗永带着救援人员回来。罗永于9月8日获救，但救援人员无法找到甘宇。Gan feared that Luo had died, so he determined to head back to the station to wait for help.甘宇害怕罗永已经遇难，就决定回水电站等待救援。Without his glasses, he fell down and got up many times. He did not know the time, as he had also lost his cellphone and didn't have a watch. When darkness fell, he lay down on the ground and slept fitfully.由于视线模糊，甘宇多次摔倒。由于手机丢失了，也没有手表，他已经没有了时间概念。夜幕降临之后，他就躺在地上断断续续地睡一会儿。"I didn't walk at night and stayed under the trees. My leg had been hurt by a falling stone, and I could only walk slowly during the daytime," Gan said.甘宇表示，晚上他就呆在树下，由于腿被落石砸伤，只能在白天慢慢地走。For the first few days, he was able to find a stream to drink water. Later, he could only collect rainwater from moss. He ate wild kiwi fruit in the woods.甘宇回忆，开始几天，沿途有溪流，有水可以喝，路上还能捡到一些野生猕猴桃。后来只能喝苔藓水。When the wild fruit and moss were no longer available, he dug up roots and drank his own urine to survive. Many times, Gan said, he could clearly hear the sound of a helicopter.在找不到野果和苔藓的情况下，他就挖树根、喝尿液来生存。甘宇说，很多次，他都能清晰地听到直升机的声音。He described his desperate thoughts: "I can't give up. My family is waiting for me and people must be looking for me, I want to live. Mother's voice, childhood companions, Grandmother's smiling facekept flashing through my mind. When I was about to despair, I talked to the grass and trees," Gan said.他回忆起了身陷绝境时的想法：“我不能放弃，家人还在等我，外面肯定有人在找我，我要活下去。”母亲的声音，儿时的同伴，奶奶的笑脸……在他脑海中不断闪现。快要绝望的时候，他就和身边的草木说话。His salvation came on Sept 21, when Ni Taigao, a 58-year-oldethnic Yi villager in Shimian county, heard his calls for help on a mountain slope.9月21日，石棉县58岁的彝族村民倪太高在山坡上听到了甘宇的呼救声。他获救了。He had lost 20 kilograms in the ordeal but was in stable condition. A preliminary examination found multiple soft tissuecontusions, rib and leg fractures and a serious infection contracted by staying in the wild for nine rainy days.在这17天里，甘宇瘦了20公斤，情况稳定。经初步检查，甘宇全身多处软组织挫伤、肋骨骨折、左下肢腓骨骨折，伴有严重感染。As his condition improved, he was transferred from the ICU to a general ward on Sunday and could be discharged this week,according to his mother, Chen Weishu.其母陈为淑表示，病情好转后，甘宇于25日从ICU转入创伤医学中心进一步治疗，或将于本周出院。记者：黄志凌subsist英[səbˈsɪst]；美[səbˈsɪst]vt.（靠很少的钱或食物）维持生活，生存下去discharge英[dɪsˈtʃɑːdʒ, ˈdɪstʃɑːdʒ]；美[dɪsˈtʃɑːrdʒ, ˈdɪstʃɑːrdʒ]v.允许…离开，解雇; 释放; 排出; 履行; 清偿（债务）; 开枪n.排出物;获准离开，免职，出院，退伍;履行，清偿ordeal英[ɔːˈdiːl]；美[ɔːrˈdiːl]n.严峻的考验;苦难的经验;折磨;神判法salvation英[sælˈveɪʃn]；美[sælˈveɪʃn]n.拯救，救助;救星，救世主;解救办法，救济措施;救济品

Close relatives, suchas a spouse or children, will be eligible to join the applicant.尽管西班牙尚未通过相关法规，部分细则也有待敲定，但预计这种签证（本质上是居住许可证）最初有效期为一年，随后可以依据申请者情况续签至最多五年，配偶和子女等近亲也可以一同申请。Applicantsmust be from outside the European Economic Area and be able to demonstrate that they have been working remotelyfor at least a year. They must have a contract of employment or, if freelance,show that they have been regularly employed by a company outside Spain.申请者必须来自欧洲经济区以外国家，并能证明自己已远程办公至少一年。他们必须持有雇佣合同，如果是自由职业者，则必须证明自己常受雇于某个西班牙以外的企业或机构。They mustalso demonstrate that they will earn enough to be self-sufficient and that theyhave an address in Spain.另外，申请者必须证明自己的收入可以自给自足，并在西班牙有住所。For the firstfour years they will be taxed at 15%, rather than the standard 25% base rate.拿到“数字游民签证”者在西班牙居住的前四年里可以享受15%的优惠税率，而当地标准税率为25%。Spain joins15 other European countries that offer some version of a digital nomad visa.Each country has its own set of conditions.目前已经有15个欧洲国家推出类似的“数字游民签证”，各国有自己的申请条件。In Croatia,for example, applicants must be earning at least €2,300 a month, in Estonia €3,500, in Iceland €7,100 and in Portugal only €700. It’s thought that Spain will set a minimummonthly income of about €2,000.比如，克罗地亚要求申请者月收入不低于2300欧元，爱沙尼亚要求不低于3500欧元，冰岛要求达到7100欧元，葡萄牙的最低门槛则只有700欧元。据估计，西班牙将把申请者最低月收入门槛设定在2000欧元左右。Greeceintroduced a digital nomad law in October 2021, offering residency of one to three years. Applicantsmust have a monthly income of €3,500.希腊于2021年10月出台了数字游民法，向数字游民提供一至三年的居住权。申请者月收入必须达到3500欧元。Somecountries demand that you have cash in the bank – €5,500 in the case of the CzechRepublic – as well as income. Some may alsoinsist on private health insurance.有些国家除了收入限制外，还要求你在银行里有存款，比如捷克共和国要求银行存款达到5500欧元。另外一些国家还要求申请者拥有私人医疗保险。Madrid,Valencia and Barcelona are already popular among the EU’s digital nomads, with the latterproving a favoured destination for startups as the city aspires to become atechnology hub and less dependent on tourism.西班牙的马德里、巴伦西亚和巴塞罗那原本就是欧盟的数字游民热门聚居地，事实证明，巴塞罗那还是很受初创企业欢迎的目的地，该市立志要成为技术中心，减少对旅游业的依赖。Excellent 4Gcover almost everywhere in Spain is tempting some nomads to set themselves upin rural areas where rents are very low. Internet speed is among the fastest inEurope and, at 148Mbps, almost double the UK speed of 75Mbps.西班牙几乎覆盖各个角落的优质4G网络吸引着一些数字游民在租金很低的乡村地区落脚。西班牙的网速是欧洲最快的，达到148兆比特每秒，是英国网速（75兆比特每秒）的近两倍。However, forresidents of cities such as Madrid and Barcelona, one negative effect is thatnomads push up rents as people working remotely for US or UK companies cancommand much higher salaries and pay higher rents than locals.但是，对于马德里和巴塞罗那等城市的居民而言，数字游民涌入的一个负面影响是会推高当地房租，因为远程为英美公司工作的人能领到远超当地人的薪水，能支付得起的租金也高得多。According toa report published this year, in Spain the average monthly salary is €1,751, 20% less than the EU averageof €2,194.根据今年发布的一份报告，西班牙的月均工资水平为1751欧元，比欧盟平均水平（2194欧元）低20%。nomad英[ˈnəʊmæd] 美[ˈnoʊmæd]n. 游牧民；流浪者derive英[dɪˈraɪv] 美[dɪˈraɪv]v.（使）起源于，来自renewable英[rɪˈnjuːəbl] 美[rɪˈnuːəbl]adj. 可继续的，可续订的demonstrate英[ˈdemənstreɪt] 美[ˈdemənstreɪt]v. 证明；说明residency英[ˈrezɪdənsi] 美[ˈrɛzɪdənsi, -ˌdɛn-]n. 住所

英语故事︱为减少食物浪费 日本酒店研制出“无边面包”AJapanese company recently released a white crust milk bread that it hopes will curb the practiceof removing the crust when making sandwiches.一家日本公司最近推出了一款白边牛奶面包，希望以此遏制在制作三明治时去掉面包边的行为。Didyou know that the vast majority of milk bread sandwiches made daily in Japanhave their crusts removed? While crusted sandwiches do exist, the generalperception is that the fluffy, white part of Japanese shokupan milk bread istastier than the brown crust. This perception dates back to a time long agowhen the crust was harder to chew through, but things are definitely a lotdifferent today. The crust is nice and soft, but people still seem to prefercrusted sandwiches. That results in a lot of food waste, but one company hopesto change that with an innovative white crust shokupan bread.你可知道，日本每天制作的牛奶面包三明治绝大多数都会去掉面包边？尽管也存在带面包边的三明治，但是大众普遍认为日式牛奶吐司松软的白色部分比棕色面包边更好吃。这一观念要追溯到很久以前，那时候面包边很硬，但现在情况大不相同了。如今的面包边细腻柔软，但是人们似乎还是更喜欢去掉面包边的三明治。结果就导致大量食物浪费，于是一家公司希望能通过新创的白边日式牛奶吐司来改变这一现状。TokyoChef Sugimoto and his team at the Imperial Hotel Co., Ltd. spent six monthsdeveloping an innovative type of bread that they claim eliminates the need toget rid of the crust. People have been coming up with all sorts of ways torecycle bread crusts in order to curb food waste, but Sugimoto’s idea was tocreate a crust that didn’t have to be discarded in the first place.东京主厨杉本和他在帝国酒店的团队花了6个月时间研制出一款新式面包，据称能免除去边的需要。一直以来人们想出各种办法来回收面包边以遏制食物浪费，但是杉本的想法是制作出一款原本就不必丢弃的面包边。AlthoughImperial Hotel did not fully disclose the secret behind its new white crust bread, itdid mention that it is baked slowly at a lower temperature than regularshokupan bread, which results in a white color all through the bread and a moremoist texture.尽管帝国酒店没有完全公开这款新白边面包的秘方，但是提到了这款面包要文火慢烤，比常规的日式牛奶吐司烘烤温度更低，这样面包才能通体白色，质地更润。Foundedin 1890 by Japanese aristocracy,Imperial Hotel used to serve crustless milk bread sandwiches to its customers,but starting on October 1st of this year, they will be switching to this newwhite crust bread, thus decreasing its food waste considerably.由日本贵族创立于1890年的帝国酒店过去供应给顾客的都是去边牛奶面包三明治，但是从今年10月1日起，帝国酒店将改为供应这种新式白边面包，从而大幅减少食物浪费。Thewhite crust bread will be served in the Imperial Hotel’s restaurants and atbanquets, but people will also be able to purchase it from GargantuaDelicatessen, a luxury bakery that has been operating since 1971.这款白边面包将在帝国酒店的餐厅里和宴会上供应，但是人们也可以从该酒店的高档面包房GargantuaDelicatessen购买，这家面包房从1971年营业至今。英文来源：OddityCentral翻译&编辑：丹妮crust英[krʌst]；美[krʌst]n.面包皮;（馅饼）酥皮;硬层;地壳discard英[dɪˈskɑːd, ˈdɪskɑːd]；美[dɪˈskɑːrd, ˈdɪskɑːrd]v.丢弃，抛弃n.被抛弃的人/物disclose英[dɪsˈkləʊz]；美[dɪsˈkloʊz]v.揭露，泄露;使公开aristocracy英[ˌærɪˈstɒkrəsi]；美[ˌærɪˈstɑkrəsi]n.贵族（阶层）

Women with diverse ethnicand regional backgrounds are honored for their outstanding contributions to theUnited States in the fields like battling for voting rights, civil rights, abolition and government.该系列硬币的正面为美国国父兼第一任总统乔治·华盛顿的头像，硬币背面是一名杰出美国女性。被表彰的女性需在选举权、民权、废奴、政府、人文、科学、太空、艺术等领域中对美国作出卓越贡献，并来自不同的种族和地域背景。       Anna May Wong was born Wong Liu-Tsong in1905 in Los Angeles to second-generation Chinese-American parents. Wongalways had an obsession with movies and often spent her time and money as a childseeing films in nickelodeon theaters. As early as the age ofnine, Wong began asking filmmakers for roles, and by age 11 she had come upwith her stage name: Anna May Wong.1905年1月3日，黄柳霜出生在洛杉矶唐人街一户开洗衣店的贫穷家庭。她从小就对电影很感兴趣，甚至会攒钱逃课溜进片场观摩。年仅9岁的她开始向制片人投递简历，11岁那年，她给自己取了艺名：Anna MayWong。       Anna MayWong is considered by many to be the first Chinese-American Hollywood moviestar. Shestarred in dozens of productions, with some of the more famous ones being ShanghaiExpress (1932), Bits of Life (1921), and The Toll of theSea (1922), which was one of the very first films made in color.此后，黄柳霜成为好莱坞第一位华裔电影明星，主演过几十部电影，包括1932年的《上海快车》、1921年的《人生》和1922年的《海逝》。其中，《海逝》是最早的彩色电影之一。      She was a figure of exoticfashion around the world, feted by high society in London, Berlin andelsewhere. In1934, the Mayfair Mannequin Society of New York voted her the "world'sbest dressed woman"; in 1938 Look magazine named her the "world'smost beautiful Chinese girl." 此外，她也是异国时尚界的宠儿，深受伦敦、柏林等地上流社会的追捧。1934年，黄柳霜被纽约模特组织 Mayfair Mannequin Society 誉为“全球衣品最佳女性”。1938年，美国《展望》杂志称其为“全球最美华裔女孩”。       Throughouther 40-year career, Anna May Wong battled racism in Hollywood. The limited leading roles, the rigidcasting and the huge pay gap between her and other white co-stars were allexamples of the inequities of the industry at the time.放眼40年的职业生涯，黄柳霜始终在与好莱坞的种族主义作斗争。有限的主角、刻板的选角，以及她与白人演员之间巨大的片酬差距，都体现出当时影视行业的不平等。       In The Toll of the Sea, sheplayed a character named Lotus Flower who falls in love with an American manonly to be abandoned by him. At the end of the film, Lotus Flower takes her ownlife. The term "lotus flower" would go on to representthe stereotype of a disposable female Asian love interest. Anotherstereotype, "the dragon lady," the kind of very barbarousand villainous kind of seductress, also stemmed from one of Wong's most prominent roles, 1931's Daughter of theDragon.在电影《海逝》中，黄柳霜饰演的角色名叫莲花，爱上了一个美国男人，却被他抛弃，最终含恨自戕。“莲花”因而代指一种刻板印象：亚洲女性恋爱时常常遭遇始乱终弃。而另一个刻板印象，“龙女（the dragon lady）”，也源于黄柳霜最著名的角色之一，出自1931年的《龙的女儿》，往往象征着野蛮而邪恶的引诱者。       Wong wasalso vocal about her frustrations with Hollywood, and she worked against the limitations. "I was so tired of the parts Ihad to play," she said in an interview with Film Weekly. "Whyis it that the screen Chinese is nearly always the villain of the piece, and socruel a villain — murderous, treacherous, a snake in the grass. We are not likethat."黄柳霜直言不讳地表达了她对好莱坞的不满，也一直在努力突破限制。她在接受《电影周刊》采访时表示，“我厌倦了那些千篇一律的角色。为什么银幕上的华人几乎总是反派，而且是如此残忍的反派——滥杀无辜、背信弃义、阴险狡诈，我们不是那样的人。”       She broke through the barriers ofpolitics, race and gender, and became a remarkable international star amid theanti-Chinese trend and skepticism, leaving a unique oriental phantom in theshinning golden age of film history. In the 1930s, she returned to China andsupported anti-Japanese war by selling off her jewelry.她突破政治、种族和性别的藩篱，在排华风潮及质疑声中成为引人瞩目的国际明星，在群星闪耀的影史黄金时代留下一道别致的东方魅影。上世纪三十年代，她还毅然回到中国，变卖自己的珠宝家当，支持抗战。Six decades after her death, Wong'slegacy lives on in film and fashion: her iconic looks revived 1920s modernstyles, and her patriotic love as well as anti-racism lives on today.黄柳霜去世六十年后，她的遗产仍在影坛与时尚界广为流传：她的标志性造型使20世纪20年代的摩登风格再度流行，而她不忘祖国、反抗种族主义的精神也被世人传诵至今。abolition英[ˌæb

But inthe future, companies may need to build supporting facilities in variouscountries to do that, which will greatly increase their operating costs andrisks," Huang said.黄乐平说：“过去总部在中国，企业可能可以通过在海外复制一个大的‘总部’来实现‘全球化’，在数据可以互联互通的地方提供服务；未来，一些企业或许需要像抖音一样在各国本地建设配套的算法团队，以使用该国数据。此举会大大增加企业的运营成本和风险。”记者：程钰revenue英[ˈrevənjuː]；美[ˈrevənuː]n.税收;财政收入;收益momentum英[məˈmentəm]；美[moʊˈmentəm]n.[物]动量; 势头; 动力; 要素，契机promising英[ˈprɒmɪsɪŋ]；美[ˈprɑːmɪsɪŋ]adj. 有希望的;有前途的

英语新闻︱云南一小学500多学生“零近视”：每天3小时运动、10个半小时睡眠Three hours of outdoorplay and no mobile phones, electronic pads or long hours of screen staring－that's the secret to zero myopia at a primary school in SouthwestChina's Yunnan province.三小时的户外活动，没有手机、电子平板，不长时间盯着屏幕——这就是云南省一所小学实现学生零近视的秘诀。Having no nearsightedstudents is considered to be a remarkable achievement in China. The prevalenceof myopia for primary school students stands at 35.6 percent nationwide, andthe rate rises to nearly 81 percent for senior high school students, accordingto official data released last year.一所学校如果没有近视学生，这在中国就是一项了不起的成就。据去年发布的官方数据显示，全国小学生的近视率为35.6%，高中生则近81%。As Wantang PrimarySchool, which is in Yunnan's lush green mountains, came into the spotlight, parents, educators and eyespecialists began discussing whether its experiences can be replicatednationwide to counter the rising level of myopia across China.随着大山深处的湾塘小学成为人们关注的焦点，家长、教育工作者和眼科专家都开始讨论在全国范围内复制湾塘小学经验的可能性，以应对中国学生日益上升的近视率。Yang Chenhao, head ofthe ophthalmology department at theChildren's Hospital of Fudan University, said that while the school is a uniquecase, some of its measures are highly worth learning, such as keeping childrenaway from mobile phones and getting them outdoors more often.复旦大学儿童医院眼科主任杨晨皓表示，虽然这所学校是一个特别的案例，但它的一些措施非常值得学习——比如让孩子远离手机，更多地出门运动。"The greatestchallenge would be to shift mindsets of educators and parents amid intenseacademic competition these days," he said. "I think it is importantto spread the awareness that academic grades should not be the sole focus.Instead, physical, mental and eye health of children should beprioritized."杨晨皓补充道:“在如今巨大的学习压力下，转变老师和家长的思维方式是很大的挑战。家长和老师们不能只看重学习成绩，更该关注儿童的身体、心理和视力健康。”Yang Qingyi, a facultymember at the school, which has 536 students, said that all children arerequired to go outside during class breaks. "Even for quiet kids, weencourage them to take a walk outside," he said.这所学校有536名学生。该校教职工杨清义表示，课间休息时，所有孩子都被要求到户外活动。“即使是安静、不爱动的孩子，我们也鼓励他们到户外散散步，”他说。The boarding school inthe remote countryside in the Honghe Hani and Yi autonomous prefecturemakes the best of its basic infrastructure and resources to instill a passionfor sports and exercise among its students, such as tying cleaning cloths intoa large knot to practice throwing or doing stair jumps.这所寄宿学校位于红河哈尼族彝族自治州的偏远山村。湾塘小学充分利用各类基础设施，培养学生对运动的热情，比如说清洁布就可以用来扎成结练习投掷或跳楼梯。When the three sportsteachers are occupied, school administrators and teachers of other subjectsalso double as trainers to teach basketball and table tennis.当三位体育老师有事的时候，学校管理人员和其他学科的老师也会兼任教练，教学生篮球和乒乓球。"If there is onepiece of advice that we can share on achieving zero myopia, I would say largeamounts of outdoor activities," said Sun Fubiao, the primary school'sprincipal.校长孙付标说:“如果要我们分享一条实现零近视的建议，那就是多进行户外活动。”Sun said that a numberof his students' parents are migrant workers living in other areas, so theschool has installed six public phones on campus while forbidding use ofpersonal cellphones or other electronic devices.孙校长说，很多学生的父母在外地打工，所以学校在校园里安装了6部公用电话，但禁止学生使用手机或其他电子设备。"Inteacher-parent WeChat groups, we frequently remind parents to pay attention tokids' eye health when they are at home for weekends or vacations," headded.他补充说:“在老师和家长的微信群里，我们经常提醒家长，在孩子周末和假期在家时要注意他们的用眼健康。”Sun said that duringhis seven years at the school, he has never encountered any student withnearsightedness. However, Sun himself and five other staff members at theschool wear glasses due to myopia.孙校长说，在这所学校的7年里，他从未见过任何一名学生近视。不过，孙校长和其他五名教职工因为近视都戴着眼镜。"I always findwearing eyeglasses a nuisance. Its very hot here in Honghe and I sweat profusely, causing the eyeglasses to slip offmy nose," he said. "I do not want to see the next generationhave to go through all the hassle, so it's natural for us to attachsignificance to protecting eyesight."孙校长说：“我总是觉得戴眼镜很麻烦。红河这里非常热，而且我很容易出汗，眼镜经常从鼻子上滑下来。我不想看到下一代像我这样，所以我们很重视保护孩子们的视力。”Nationwide, theattention on optical health has also been growing. A number of measures, suchas reining in the number of new online games, rolling out regular eyeexaminations, and prohibiting giving homework to first- and second-graders,have been implemented in recent years.在全国范围内，人们也越来越关注视力健康。近年来，政府已经实施了一系列措施保护学生的视力，如限制新网络游戏的数量、开展定期眼科检查、禁止给一二年级学生布置家庭作业等。Zhou Xue, the motherof a 9-year-old boy in Jiangsu province, said that at least seven of the 46children in her son's class wear glasses. "Anxiety about vision health isvery real these days. We parents often discuss which brand of eye-protectiondesk lamp or eyedrops is best, or which hospital's ophthalmologist is the mostreliable."江苏一名9岁男孩的母亲周雪表示，她儿子所在班级的46个孩子中，至少有7人戴眼镜。“现在家长真的很担心孩子们的视力，我们经常讨论什么牌子的护眼台灯和眼药水最好，哪家医院的眼科医生最可靠。”At school, her son isinvolved in a variety of outdoor activities, such as running, jumping rope anddoing pushups.在学校里，她的儿子会参加各种户外活动，比如跑步、跳绳和做俯卧撑。Thanks to strictsupervision from the local education bureau, Zhou said she believed no schoolwould dare to sacrifice outdoor activities for extra academic work nowadays."But as his mother, I do not want to see him lag behin

Instead, tickets for one Disney World park range from $109to $159 per day, according to the study.研究显示，1971年迪士尼魔法王国的单张门票价格为3.5美元。根据通货膨胀进行调整后，票价相当于现在的25.6美元。然而，研究表明现在奥兰多迪士尼世界的一张单日门票的价格在109美元到159美元之间。Nearly50% of respondents reported postponing a trip due to the price hikes.近50%的受访者报告称自己由于门票价格上涨而推迟了迪士尼乐园之旅。Allin, Disney World veterans can expect to pay 35.7% more for their next tripcompared to their last one, Time2play found.Time2play网站发现，迪士尼乐园常客下一次乐园之旅将比上一次总计多支付35.7%的票钱。Achart posted to social media last year by a researcher at SJ DataVisualizations, a UK-based firm, shows that prices for Disney World have risenby at least 3,871% since 1971, with prices rising at a more drastic ratein the early 1980s compared to its first decade.去年英国公司SJData Visualizations的一名研究员上传到社交媒体的图表显示，奥兰多迪士尼世界的票价自1971年以来已经上涨了至少3871%，相比第一个十年，上世纪80年代初上涨幅度更猛。Familiesspoke out about the prices earlier this year as traveling picked back upfollowing coronavirus lockdowns, and they expressed shock at the price hikes.One dad of two estimated he would be on the hook for a $4,000 to $5,000 bill,even with one of his kids qualifying for free admission.今年早些时候，随着疫情封锁结束后出游人数回升，美国家庭表达了对于迪士尼乐园票价上涨的震惊。一位两个孩子的父亲估算，即使他有一个小孩可以免费入园，他们一家人还是要花费4000到5000美元才能去乐园玩一次。"Iunderstand inflation and all of those things. I understand costincreases," Kentucky father Matt Day told the Washington Post earlier thisyear on the high prices. "I always had the impression that Disney was afamily vacation destination, and that impression is why I was surprised to seehow expensive it truly was — and how out of reach it is for most Americanfamilies."这位来自肯塔基州的父亲马特·戴今年早些时候就迪士尼乐园的高票价对《华盛顿邮报》说：“我明白通货膨胀和所有这一切。我理解票价为什么要上涨。在我的印象中，迪士尼乐园一直是全家人去度假的好地方，正是这一印象让我对高票价感到震惊——多数美国家庭根本负担不起。”"It’sreally unprecedented," said Len Testa, president of theme-parktrip-planning site Touring Plans told the Washington Post earlier this year."We haven’t seen this sort of anger about price hikes in — we can’tremember the last time something like this caused this much anger from Disneyfans."主题乐园旅游规划网站TouringPlans的总裁伦恩·特斯塔今年早些时候告诉《华盛顿邮报》：“这是史无前例的。我们从未见过人们对票价上涨这么气愤，也不记得迪士尼粉丝过去曾因为这种事这么恼火。”英文来源：福克斯商业网翻译&编辑：丹妮hike英[haɪk]；美[haɪk]vt.提高（价格等）;拉起;使…高涨vi.徒步旅行;上升n.徒步旅行;远足;提高，涨价;<口>（数量、价格等）增加，上升whopping英[ˈwɒpɪŋ]；美[ˈwɑpɪŋ]adj.巨大的，庞大的v.打(whop的现在分词); 抽出;打败;征服drastic英[ˈdræstɪk]；美[ˈdræstɪk]adj. 极端的;严厉的;急剧的

英语新闻∣110克酸奶卖19元！“雪糕刺客”之后，又来了“酸奶土匪”……AfterChina has seen a price hike in ice creams over recent years, which areplayfully nicknamed "ice cream assassins" by Chinesenetizens, here comes fancy yogurt that may also "stab" yourwallet. Wrapped in delicate and colorful packaging, yogurt in China has alsoskyrocketed in price, from 4 to 6 yuan, to around 10 to 20.近年来，中国雪糕的价格一路飙升，中国网民戏称其为“雪糕刺客”。但现如今，各种五颜六色、包装精美的酸奶也可能会“刺穿”你的钱包，价格从你记忆中的4到6块，飙升到十几块。Youwould end up being "stabbed unawares" by "ice cream assassins"by their prices because they seemingly look and taste the same despite thehigher costs. But these "superior" yogurts justify their costsand never hide their prices. Netizens hence mocked these new yogurts as "bandits".相比起雪糕刺客对价格的遮遮掩掩，最后伤人于无形，酸奶却是大大方方，明码标价，童叟无欺，被网友笑称是“土匪”。In just a few years, inaddition to some traditional brands like Mengniu, Yili, Sanyuan andbrightdairy, new comers of yogurt such as Kashi, Jianai, Lechun, Beihaimuchang,and oarmilk are emerging. How popular are these yogurt? There are more than3.32 million notes when searching yogurt on the Xiaohongshu, a well-likedsocial media platform in China. Most of those notes are about the evaluation ofvarious new types of yogurt, followed by the various yogurt-making tutorials.短短几年，除蒙牛、伊利、三元、光明等传统品牌的酸奶外，卡士、简爱、乐纯、北海牧场、吾岛等酸奶新势力也渐渐崭露头角。这些酸奶有多红呢？在小红书上搜索酸奶，有超过332万笔记，以测评各种新式酸奶居多，紧跟其后的是用户分享酸奶碗的各种做法。Why does yogurt become themarket "upstart"?是什么原因令酸奶成为市场“新贵”呢？For one thing, high-end yogurtoften requires only the simplest ingredients.首先，高端的酸奶往往只需最简单的配料。Elementslike "sugar free", "low fat", "highprotein" and "low carb" are often seen on the packagesof yogurt sold in China market. These elements contribute to a price rise. Ayogurt under the brand He Run, which claims to be “zero fat, zero sugar and highprotein”,costs 13.3 yuan for 100g.Meanwhile, ingredients like probiotics, caffeineand sodium hyaluronate are added to yogurt to answer customers’ demands in health and beauty.These are also factors that have impacts on pricing.近年来，“零糖零脂”、“低糖低脂”、“高蛋白”、“低碳水”这些顺应消费者追求健康需求的元素成为酸奶包装上最常见的介绍，也成为加价砝码：如100克和润0脂0糖高蛋白希腊酸奶售价13.3元，110克的新希望致轻0蔗糖酸奶19.6元。另外，如益生菌、咖啡因和透明质酸钠等成分，也纷纷“入驻”酸奶。功能做了加法，价格也做了加法。Inaddition, various new flavors and additional snacks, like dried fruit and crunchy oatflakes that are sold with yogurt, bring up the price as well. 层出不穷的新口味、酸奶额外搭配配料包等操作也刺激着酸奶价格的上涨。Yogurtthat sold in Blueglass, a brand dubbed the "Hermes of yogurt", ispriced at 25 to 45 yuan. A rising number of similar brands emerged in Beijing,Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen — all first-tier cities inChina. They sell yogurt in a way more or less like selling milk tea – with toppings like oatflakes, assorted fruits and jelly. Prices range from 15 to 30 yuan.被誉为“酸奶中的爱马仕”的Blueglass品牌，一杯酸奶售价在25-45元不等。在北上广深这些一线城市里，大量相对小型的现制酸奶品牌也正出现在街头巷尾。它们用制作茶饮的方式去卖酸奶，商家会添加紫米、燕麦、水果颗粒等小料，定价多在15-30元区间。assassin英[əˈsæsɪn] 美[əˈsæsn]n. 暗杀者，刺客bandit英[ˈbændɪt] 美[ˈbændɪt]n. 土匪，强盗probiotic英[ˌprəʊbaɪ'ɒtɪk] 美[ˌproʊbaɪ'ɑtɪk]n. 益生菌crunchy英[ˈkrʌntʃi] 美[ˈkrʌntʃi]adj. 发嘎吱嘎吱声的，易碎的assort英[ə'sɔ:t] 美[ə'sɔt]vi. 相配；相称

中国人吃什么容易过敏？最新研究：海鲜、芒果和……Chineseresearchers concluded a new study which shows that Chinese adults and childrenare more likely to be allergic to seafood, and less likely to be allergic to peanuts compared to people in theUnited States and Europe.8月26日，中国疾控中心英文周报发布了一系列关于中国不同人群食物过敏的研究论文，其中一项研究得出结论：中国人更容易海鲜过敏，欧美人更容易花生过敏。The study highlights an allergysurvey conducted in Jiangxi Province in 2020, which distributed 21,273 foodallergy screening questionnaires and involved 11,935 adults and 8,856children.该研究重点介绍了2020年在我国江西省所做的过敏性调查，该调查共发放21273份食物过敏筛查问卷，涉及11935名成人和8856名儿童。 According to the study, shrimp,mangos and shellfish are the top three common food allergens in China's Jiangxiprovince, followed by eggs, fish, beef, milk and mutton.结果显示，江西人民的常见过敏原食物从高到低排序依次为虾、芒果、贝类、鸡蛋、鱼、牛肉、牛奶和羊肉，以动物源食物为主，与欧洲以花生、大豆为主有差异。 This difference means thatdifferent cultures, diets, industrialisation and biological factors can allinfluence the allergy patterns of local people.这一差异意味着不同地区的文化、饮食、工业化程度以及生物因素都会影响当地人民的过敏模式。Chen Hongbing, a professor atNanchang University who was involved in the study, said the results were inline with reality and consistent with previousresearch.南昌大学教授陈红兵参与了此项研究，他表示研究成果符合生活实际，与以往的研究结果一致。 "For instance, in a previousstudy on self-reported food allergies among children, seafood topped the list,followed by fish, eggs, fruits and milk," he said.陈教授称：“比如，以往的研究统计了儿童自我报告的食物过敏现象，发现常见的过敏源由高到低排序为：海鲜、鱼、蛋、水果和牛奶。”Chen saidmore epidemiological research is needed to address these discrepancies and to determine if various dietaryhabits across China result in varied food sensitivity.不过，他也表示，我们还需要更多流行病学研究来解释研究结果间的差异，同时判断中国各地的不同饮食习惯是否导致了食物过敏模式。 In a separate study also publishedin China CDC Weekly last week, researchers found that the prevalence of food allergies in the populationwas 8 percent from 2009 to 2018, up from 5 percent from 1999 to 2008,"indicating that the prevalence of food allergies in China is on therise".还有一篇着重分析总结了2000年至2021年关于中国人食物过敏的24项研究成果。相关研究成果显示， 2009年至2018年，食物过敏的流行率为8%，高于1999-2008年（5%），这表明中国食物过敏的流行率正在上升。Luo Xiaoqun, a doctor at FudanUniversity's Huashan Hospital, said during an interview with media outletYXJ.org.cn that the increasing rate of food allergies is a phenomenon observedworldwide, driven by changes in lifestyles, eating habits, as well as growinghealth awareness and diagnostic ability.复旦大学华山医院一名医生接受《医学界》采访时表示，食物过敏率上升是一个全球性现象，这是由生活方式、饮食习惯的改变，以及人们健康意识的提高和医学诊断能力的进步所导致的。 So how do you avoid food allergies?那么，如何避免食物过敏呢？Breastfeed your baby. Breastfeeding may reduce the risk of allergy and islinked to other health benefits.尽量母乳喂养。母乳喂养可以减少过敏的风险，且对健康有益。An allergy test can determine whether your body has an allergic reaction toa known substance.怀疑有过敏症状，及时到医院进行过敏原测试。Avoid your allergens and take your medicines as prescribed.避免接触过敏原，出现症状时及时吃药遏制。allergic英[əˈlɜːdʒɪk] 美[əˈlɜːrdʒɪk]adj. 过敏的；反感的consistent英[kənˈsɪstənt] 美[kənˈsɪstənt]adj. 一致的；连贯的discrepancy英[dɪsˈkrepənsi] 美[dɪsˈkrepənsi]n. 差异，不一致prevalence英['prevələns] 美[ˈprɛvələns]n. 流行；盛行；普遍diagnostic英[ˌdaɪəgˈnɒstɪk] 美[ˌdaɪəgˈnɑstɪk]adj. 诊断的

But I also know my body's capacities and limits, and its message to me lately has been clear," said the legend, who has not played since Wimbledon last year.“我努力恢复到最佳竞技状态，但我同样知道自己的身体能力和极限，它给我传达的信息非常明确。”费德勒自去年温网之后就再也没有参加过任何一场比赛。"I am 41 years old.

Tennis has treated me more generously than I ever would have dreamt," he added.费德勒写道：“我已经41岁了。过去24年，我打了超过1500场比赛。网球给予了我太多，超乎了我的想象。”Federer, widely regarded as one of the greatest tennis players of all time, made his professional debut in 1998 at 16 years old, before winning his first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon in 2003.1998年，16岁的费德勒完成了他的职业生涯首秀。2003年，费德勒在温网赢得个人首个大满贯冠军奖杯。人们将他视作历史上最伟大的网球运动员之一。In 2009, he took his 15th Grand Slam title at Wimbledon, surpassing his idol Pete Sampras to become the most decorated major title winner until 2022.

The kids, the grandparents, the babysitter,maybe your favorite aunt or uncle. That’s it.孩子、祖父母、保姆，也许还有你最亲的姑姑或叔叔。要送礼的人就这么多。You can blame inflation for families knockingfriends, co-workers and extended families off your holiday gift lists thisyear.今年美国家庭只能把朋友、同事和亲戚从节日送礼名单上移除，要怪就怪通货膨胀。Persistent inflation – consumer pricesincreased by 8.5% in July over last year – has reshaped how Americans are budgeting foreveryday necessities and occasional indulgences. Prices are up for everythingfrom groceries to clothing, shoes, stationery items and more.持续的通胀——7月消费者价格同比上涨8.5%——已经改变了美国人花费在日常必需品和偶尔放纵上的预算。从食品杂货到服装、鞋、文具等各种商品的价格都上涨了。It’s also forced many households to tap intotheir savings or rack up more credit card debt just to keep up with the highercost of living. Over the past year, credit card debt has jumped by $100billion, or 13%, the biggest percentage increase in more than 20 years.通胀导致的生活成本上升还迫使许多家庭为了维持生活而动用存款或欠下更多信用卡债务。过去一年来，美国的信用卡债务增加了1000亿美元，涨幅高达13%，创下20多年来的最大涨幅。What does all this mean for the upcoming 2022holiday shopping season? Less. A lot less.所有这些对即将到来的2022节日购物季意味着什么呢？意味着人们会减少开支，而且是大减。It’ll be a stark contrast from last year’s robust holidayperformance, according to a new forecast from consulting firm Deloitte.咨询公司德勤的最新预测显示，今年的节日销售业绩将与去年形成强烈反差。It expects retail sales for the key year-endgift-buying months of November, December and January to increase 4% to 6%. Thiscompares with a robust 15.1% increase for the same time frame last year.德勤预期年末送礼季（11月、12月和1月）的零售额将比其他月份增长4%到6%。相比之下，去年同期的增长幅度高达15.1%。The projected sharp pullback from last year“reflects the slowdown in the economy,” Daniel Bachman, Deloitte’s US economicforecaster, said in a report. “Retail sales are likely to be further affectedby declining demand for durable consumer goods, which had been the centerpieceof pandemic spending.”德勤的美国经济预测师丹尼尔·巴赫曼在一份报告中称，相比去年零售额大减“反映出经济正在减速。零售业的销售额可能还会进一步受到耐用消费品需求下降的影响，而耐用消费品一直是疫情支出的核心。”The 15% growth in holiday shopping last seasonwas also largely due to the “uncommon circumstances surrounding thepandemic", namely the shift to spending on “things rather than experienceand the extra cash provided by the stimulus checks,” said Andrew Forman,associate professor of marketing, at Hofstra University’s Frank G. Zarb Schoolof Business.霍夫斯特拉大学弗兰克扎布商学院的营销学副教授安德鲁·福曼指出，去年节日购物季15%的增幅很大程度上也是由于“和疫情有关的特殊情况”，人们转而购买“物品而非经历”，同时还因为人们在经济刺激计划中获得了额外的现金。"This year’s shopping season is likely tobe challenging for retailers,” he said.他说：“今年的购物季对于零售商而言将会不好过。”Among the gifting categories that are stillexpected to do well this year are clothing, toys and gift cards. Spending inrestaurants, entertainment and travel should also perk up, said Rod Sides, vice chair with Deloitte and head of its USretail and distribution practice.德勤副董事长兼美国零售批发业务负责人罗德·赛兹表示，今年仍将吃香的礼物类别是服装、玩具和礼品卡，餐厅、娱乐和旅游消费应该也会增加。"Overall, there will still be sales growthbut it won’t be as dramatic as last year,” said Sides. “If there are fewer giftpurchases by consumers, expect to see even more holiday promotions than ever.”赛兹说：“总体来看，销售额会增长，但不会像去年的增幅那么大。如果消费者购买的礼物减少了，那么节日的促销活动可能会比以往更多。”Inflation won’t be the Grinch that completelystole Christmas, according to Neil Saunders, retail analyst and managingdirector at GlobalData Retail.咨询机构GlobalDataRetail的零售业分析师兼常务董事尼尔·桑德斯表示，通胀不会完全“偷走”圣诞节。"Gifting will remain an important part ofthe holidays, but consumers will be much more frugal and practical in their gift spending. That meanscutting back on gifting to non-family members such as colleagues or friends, sogifting circles will shrink,” he said.他指出：“送礼仍会是节日的一个重要部分，但是消费者在送礼支出上会节俭务实得多。这意味着削减送给同事或朋友等非家庭成员的礼物，也就是说，送礼圈子将会缩小。”If consumers are planning fewer gifts, theywill likely try to make them more meaningful, said Saunders.桑德斯说，如果消费者计划送出的礼物变少，那么他们会努力让礼物更有意义。"They will be keen to ensure they arethings that are wanted rather than fripperies that are a bit of a waste ofmoney. Practical gifts will be in, including the gifting of cash and gift cardsso that recipients can choose exactly what they want,” he said.他说：“他们会确保礼物是对方想要的，而不是瞎花钱的华而不实的东西。包括现金和礼品卡在内的实用礼物将会成为首选，这样收礼者就可以选择自己真正想要的东西。”One area where there won’t be much of acutback? Gifts for kids. Said Saunders, “Parents are always keen to pull outall the stops to ensure children have a great holiday.”不太会缩水的礼物是哪一块呢？那就是给孩子的礼物。桑德斯说：“父母们总是愿意倾尽全力，让孩子们度过一个快乐的节日。”英文来源：美国有线电视新闻网翻译&编辑：丹妮budget英[ˈbʌdʒɪt]；美[ˈbʌdʒɪt]v. 谨慎花钱;把…编入预算; 为…做出安排n. 预算;政府年度预算adj. 低价的stark英[stɑːk]；美[stɑːrk]adj. 完全的;荒凉的;光秃秃的;僵硬的;毫无修饰的adv. 一丝不挂，赤裸;完全;明显地;质朴地;突出地perk up英[pɜ:kʌp]；美[pəkʌp]v.（使）活跃;（重新）活跃起来;使更有趣;（使）增值frugal英[ˈfruːɡl]；美[ˈfruːɡl]adj.节省的，节俭的;朴素的;花钱少的;约

英语新闻∣研究：走路可预防痴呆症，步速比步数更重要Walking 3,800 to 9,800 steps a day may lower the risk of dementia in middle-aged and older adults, a new study suggests. Walking at a pace of 112 steps per minute for 30 minutes a day was the most effective, reducing dementia risk by 62 per cent, the study showed. People who want to reduce their risk ofdementia should focus on walking speed rather than distance, researchers believe.一项最新研究表明，每天步行3800到9800步可能会降低中老年人患痴呆症的风险。研究显示，每天以每分钟112步的速度行走30分钟效果是最好的，可将痴呆风险降低62%。研究人员认为，想要降低患痴呆症风险的人更应关注走路的速度，而不是走路的距离。Want to reduce your risk for dementia? Slap on a step counter and starttallying your steps -- you'll need between 3,800 and 9,800 each day to reduce your risk of mental decline, according to a new study.想降低患痴呆症的风险吗？一项新研究表明，每天走3800至9800步可降低智力退化的风险。People between the ages of 40 and 79 who took 9,826 steps per day were 50% less likely to develop dementia within seven years, the study found. Furthermore, people who walked with "purpose" -- at a pace over 40 steps a minute -- were able to cut their risk of dementia by 57% with just 6,315 steps a day.研究发现，40岁至79岁之间每天走9826步的人在七年内患痴呆症的可能性降低50%。此外，那些以每分钟超过40步的速度走路锻炼的人每天只走6315步就能将患痴呆症的风险降低57%。"It is abrisk walking activity, like a power walk," said study coauthor Borja del Pozo Cruz, an adjunct associate professor at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense, Denmark, and senior researcher in health sciences for the University of Cadiz in Spain.研究报告合著者、丹麦欧登塞南丹麦大学副教授、西班牙加的斯大学健康科学高级研究员博贾·德尔·波索·克鲁兹称：“这是一种轻快的健走锻炼。”Even people who walked approximately 3,800 steps a day at any speed cut their risk of dementia by 25%, the study found.研究发现，每天以任意速度行走约3800步的人患痴呆症的风险也会降低25%。"That would be enough, at first, forsedentary individuals," said del Pozo Cruz in an email.克鲁兹在一封邮件中称：“对于久坐不动的人来说，这就足够了。”"In fact, it is a message that doctors could use to motivate very sedentary older adults -- 4k steps is verydoable by many, even those that are less fit or do not feel very motivated," he added. "Perhaps, more active and fitter individuals should aim for 10k, where we see maximum effects."“事实上，医生可以以此激励久坐不动的老年人。4000步对于许多人来说都是可以做到的，即使是身体不好或缺乏动力的人。也许，更积极、更健康的人应该以10000步为目标，这样效果最好。”But there was a even more interesting result buried in the study, according to an editorial entitled "Is 112 the New 10,000?" published Tuesday in JAMA Neurology.9月6日发表在《美国医学会神经学杂志》上的一篇评论文章称，研究中还隐藏着一个更有趣的发现。文章题目为《步速112和日行一万步的效果一样吗？》The largest reduction in dementia risk -- 62% -- was achieved by people who walked at a very brisk pace of 112 steps per minute for 30 minutes a day, the study found. Prior research has labeled 100 steps a minute (2.7 miles per hour) as a "brisk" or moderate level of intensity.研究显示，那些每天以每分钟112步的速度行走30分钟的人痴呆风险降低最多，达62%。此前的研究将每分钟100步的步速定义为“轻松”或中等强度的锻炼。The editorial argued that individuals looking to reduce their risk of dementia focus on their walking pace over their walked distance.这篇评论认为，想降低痴呆风险的人应该注重步速而非步数。"We do agree this is a very interesting finding," said del Pozo Cruz via email. "Our take is that intensity of stepping matters! Over and above volume. Technology could be use to track not only number of steps but also pace and so these types of metrics can also be incorporated in commercial watches. More research is needed on this."克鲁兹在邮件中称：“这是一个非常有趣的发现。我们认为步速比步数更重要。不仅应该对步数进行监测，还可以开发监测步速的技术，将此应用到运动手表产品上。这方面需要更多的研究。”dementia英[dɪˈmenʃə]美[dɪˈmenʃə]n. [医]痴呆tally英[ˈtæli]美[ˈtæli]vt. 测量，计数brisk英[brɪsk]美[brɪsk]adj. 轻快的sedentary英[ˈsedntri]美[ˈsednteri]adj. 坐着的；（指人）不爱活动的doable英[ˈdu:əbl]美[ˈduəbəl]adj. 可做的，可行的

英语新闻︱Xi eyes common growth in visits to Central AsiaNeighborly friendship, connectivity and common development stand out as key phrases used in both of President Xi Jinping's signed articles published by leading media outlets in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan on Tuesday.9月13日，国家主席习近平在乌兹别克斯坦、哈萨克斯坦主要媒体发表署名文章，强调了睦邻友好、互联互通、互利共赢这几个关键词。The two articles were published prior to Xi's Central Asia tour from Wednesday to Friday.文章发表于习近平主席此次中亚之行前夕。Xi will attend the 22nd meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Council of Heads of State in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, and make state visits to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.习近平将出席在乌兹别克斯坦撒马尔罕举行的上海合作组织成员国元首理事会第二十二次会议，并对哈萨克斯坦共和国和乌兹别克斯坦共和国进行国事访问。This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and both Central Asian nations.今年是中哈、中乌建交30周年。In his article for Kazakh media, Xi recalled the past 30 years by pointing to the major strides made in bilateral ties, remarkable results in pragmatic cooperation, extensive infrastructure links built between the two countries, and their flourishing friendship.在哈萨克斯坦媒体上发表的文章中，习近平回顾了过去的30年，指出中哈关系阔步向前，中哈合作成就斐然，中哈联通畅达四方，以及两国友好深入人心。"We are friends to trust and partners to count on for each other, and our peoples always stand shoulder to shoulder with each other," Xi wrote.习近平写道：“两国是彼此信赖的朋友和相互倚重的伙伴，两国人民永远肩并肩站在一起。”He envisioned the two nations' further teamwork in bilateral and international contexts to boost growth, common security and global governance.习近平希望，两国持续发展睦邻友好，不断深化互利合作，坚定捍卫共同安全，全面加强国际协作。China would like to partner with Kazakhstan to remain pioneers in Belt and Road cooperation and cultivate new sources of growth such as artificial intelligence, big data, digital finance, e-commerce and green energy, he wrote.习近平强调，中方愿同哈方一道，继续做共建“一带一路”的先行者，培育人工智能、大数据、数字金融、电子商务、绿色能源等领域新增长点。In his article for Uzbek media, Xi said the two nations are "good friends sharing close affinity", "good partners pursuing common development", a "good example of dialogue between civilizations" and "good brothers supporting each other in times of need".在乌兹别克斯坦媒体上发表的文章中，习近平提到，中乌是“彼此交心的好朋友”、“共同发展的好伙伴”、“文明对话的好榜样”、“相互帮扶的好兄弟”。Bilateral trade exceeded $8 billion last year and "is on course to reach the $10 billion goal set for 2022", Xi wrote. 习近平指出，2021年中乌双边贸易额超过80亿美元，“正朝着全年100亿美元的目标稳步迈进”。"The two countries have rendered mutual support on issues concerning each other's core interests, supported each other's implementation of development strategies, drawn upon each other's experience of reform and opening-up, and injected positive energy into regional development," he wrote.习近平还表示，两国“在涉及彼此核心利益问题上相互支持，在推进各自发展战略方面相互助力，在扩大改革开放方面互学互鉴，为地区发展不断注入正能量”。The Central Asia trip is "China's most important head-of-state diplomatic event ahead of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China", Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Tuesday.外交部发言人毛宁13日表示，中亚之行是“在中国共产党二十大召开前夕开展的一次最重要的元首外交活动”。Mao noted that both Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are friendly neighbors and comprehensive strategic partners of China, and they are key countries on the routes of the Belt and Road.毛宁指出，哈萨克斯坦、乌兹别克斯坦都是中国的友好近邻和全面战略伙伴，也是“一带一路”重要的沿线国家。The state visits will introduce new blueprints, goals and impetus for China's bilateral ties with the two countries, showing that China's bilateral ties with the two countries are entering a new phase of development, she added.毛宁表示，此次国事访问将为中哈、中乌关系发展擘画新蓝图、指明新目标、注入新动力，标志着中哈、中乌关系进入新的发展阶段。In both of his articles, Xi highlighted the fact that next year marks the 10th anniversary of his putting forward the Silk Road Economic Belt initiative — a key component of the landmark Belt and Road Initiative — in Kazakhstan in 2013.在这两篇署名文章中，习近平强调，明年是他2013年在哈萨克斯坦访问时提出建设“丝绸之路经济带”倡议10周年。The BRI "has become a platform for international cooperation that is open, inclusive and mutually beneficial, promotes win-win cooperation and is a global public good widely welcomed by the international community", he noted.习近平指出，共建“一带一路”已成为“开放包容、互利互惠、合作共赢的国际合作平台，是国际社会普遍欢迎的全球公共产品”。He called for joint efforts to further put into action the Global Development Initiative — which he proposed last year and which has gained support from over 100 countries — so as to give impetus to world economic recovery.习近平呼吁各方共同努力，推动全球发展倡议落地走实，为助推世界经济复苏作出贡献。自中方提出该倡议以来，迄今已有100多国表示支持。In his article published in Uzbekistan, Xi also spoke highly of Uzbekistan's role as chairman of the SCO Samarkand Summit this year.在乌兹别克斯坦媒体上发表的文章中，习近平还高度评价了乌兹别克斯坦担任上海合作组织轮值主席国以来作出的贡献。He expressed his confidence that, with the joint efforts of all sides, the Samarkand Summit will produce "fruitful outcomes" and make a greater contribution to building an even closer SCO community with a shared future and to regional peace, stability, development and prosperity.习近平表示，相信在各方共同努力下，撒马尔罕峰会一定会取得丰硕成果，为构建更加紧密的上海合作组织命运共同体，促进地区和平稳定、发展繁荣作出更大贡献。At the SCO summit, Xi will exchange views with other attending leaders on "all-around cooperation within the SCO framework as well as major internati

英语故事︱防秃要趁早这3种方法可预防早期雄激素性脱发Dr. Susan Massick, a clinical associate professor of dermatology at the Ohio State University, said she frequently saw patients for hair loss and young men were especially concerned about prevention. The most important thing to keep as much hair as possible, she said, is to catch hair loss early.俄亥俄州立大学皮肤病学临床副教授苏珊·马西克博士称，她发现脱发患者，尤其是年轻男性特别注重预防脱发。她表示，尽可能多地留住头发的关键是早发现早预防。Massick told Insider a balanced diet and topical minoxidil were two methods she'd recommend to patients to help treat hair loss and male-pattern baldness.马西克告诉内幕网，她建议通过平衡饮食和局部使用米诺地尔两种方法治疗脱发和男性秃头。Massick said that while hair loss could come from stress and an autoimmune disease called alopecia areata, the majority of her patients had androgenic alopecia, or male-pattern baldness. According to Cleveland Clinic, an estimated 25% of men will notice hair loss before age 21, and 70% will experience hair loss as they age.马西克称，脱发的原因可能是压力和一种称为斑秃的自身免疫性疾病，但她的大多数患者都患有男性秃头，也称雄激素性脱发。据克利夫兰医学中心估计，25%的男性在21岁之前会出现脱发，70%的男性会随着年龄增长而脱发。Male-pattern baldness is caused by the hormone dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, Massick said, which shrinks hair follicles, causing hair to grow thinner and fall out more easily.马西克说，雄激素性脱发是由激素二氢睾酮引起的。二氢睾酮会导致毛囊收缩，头发变细，更容易脱落。A balanced diet rich in protein and iron can help keep your hair healthy and strong, Massick said. Foods like chicken, eggs, greek yogurt, and beef contain high amounts of protein, which is most of what makes up hair follicles. Protein also contains iron, which helps the body bring oxygen to cells associated with hair growth, according to Healthline.马西克说，富含蛋白质和铁的均衡饮食有助于保持头发健康强壮。鸡肉、鸡蛋、希腊酸奶和牛肉等食物含有大量蛋白质，这是构成毛囊的主要成分。据健康线网站报道，蛋白质含有铁元素，铁可以促进身体为与毛发生长相关的细胞提供氧气。Dr. Debra Jaliman, a dermatologist who is an assistant professor at the Dermatology Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, previously told Insider that when the body doesn't get enough protein, the protein that is consumed is allocated toward essential body functions, which doesn't include hair growth.西奈山伊坎医学院皮肤病学助理教授、皮肤病医生德布拉·贾利曼博士告诉内幕网，当身体摄入蛋白质不足时，蛋白质消耗用于维持身体的基本功能，而不包括头发生长。Massick said to avoid putting tension on your hair whenever possible; hair styles like perms, extensions, and hair straightening can put stress on your hair that can make it more likely to fall out.马西克称，要尽可能让头发放松，烫发、接发和直发等美发造型都会给头发带来压力，使其更容易脱落。Massick says shampoos that advertise hair growth usually aren't worth your money because they don't stay in your hair long enough to penetrate to your follicles. She said shampoos meant to treat conditions like dandruff and eczema, which can cause hair loss, can be effective at treating those conditions but not hair loss itself.马西克表示，生发洗发水通常不值得购买，因为产品在头发中停留的时间不够长，无法穿透毛囊。针对头皮屑和湿疹等可能导致脱发的疾病的洗发水可以有效治疗这些疾病，但对治疗脱发没什么效果。Minoxidil is an over-the-counter medication that Massick said had been shown to help prevent hair loss and, in some cases, regain lost hair. While it's unclear exactly how minoxidil works, it's thought to enlarge hair follicles and increase the body's hair-growth phase, according to Healthline.马西克介绍，米诺地尔是一种已经证明有助于防止脱发的非处方药，在某些情况下可以让头发再生。据健康线网站报道，目前尚不清楚米诺地尔的作用原理，但它可以扩大毛囊，增加身体的毛发生长期。来源：Insider编辑：董静dermatology英[ˌdɜ:məˈtɒlədʒi]；美[ˌdɜrməˈtɑlədʒi]n. 皮肤病（学）;皮肤科topical英[ˈtɒpɪkl]；美[ˈtɑpɪkl]adj.有关时事的，时下关注的;局部的;题目的，论题的baldness英[bɔ:ldnəs]；美[bɔldnəs]n. 光秃，枯燥，率直;无芒性;秃发;秃病

英语新闻∣习近平主席即将出席上海合作组织成员国元首理事会第二十二次会议President Xi Jinping's upcoming Central Asia trip will give a major boost to China's bonds with its neighbors there, catalyze two-way,pragmatic cooperation and promote the unity and efficacy of the 21-year-old Shanghai Cooperation Organization, observers said.观察人士表示，习近平主席即将进行的中亚之行将极大地促进中国与中亚邻国的关系，促进双向务实合作，加强已有21年历史的上海合作组织成员国的团结，提升上海合作组织的效能。From Wednesday to Friday, Xi will attend the 22nd meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Council of Heads of State in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, and make state visits to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying announced on Monday.9月12日，外交部新闻发言人华春莹表示，9月14日至16日，国家主席习近平将出席在撒马尔罕举行的上海合作组织成员国元首理事会第二十二次会议，并应哈萨克斯坦共和国总统托卡耶夫、乌兹别克斯坦共和国总统米尔济约耶夫邀请对两国进行国事访问。The Central Asia tour will be Xi's first trip abroad in more than two years, and the timing of the visits to the two destinations bears profound significance, experts said.专家表示，中亚之行将是习近平主席两年多来首次出访，而选择在这个时机出访两国具有深远意义。Both Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are celebrating their 30th anniversary this year of building diplomatic relations with China, and their presidents visited China in February to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Winter Games and met with Xi.今年，哈萨克斯坦和乌兹别克斯坦都庆祝了与中国建交30周年，两国总统在今年2月访问中国，参加北京冬季奥运会开幕式，并与习近平主席会面。Kazakhstan is the birthplace of the landmark Belt and Road Initiative, as it was there that Xi first proposed the Silk Road Economic Belt initiative—a key component of the BRI—during his first state visit to the country as president in 2013.哈萨克斯坦是“一带一路”首倡之地。2013年，习近平主席首次访问哈萨克斯坦时提出了共建“丝绸之路经济带”的倡议。As of July 4, 149 countries and 32 international organizations have signed cooperative documents with China on jointly building the Belt and Road.截至7月4日，已有149个国家、32个国际组织同中国签署共建“一带一路”合作文件。As Kazakhstan is on the first stop of the BRI's westward routes from China, "China-Kazakhstan relations have yielded fruitful outcomes in areas such as connectivity, production capacity, economy, trade and culture", said Chinese Ambassador to Kazakhstan Zhang Xiao.中国驻哈萨克斯坦大使张霄表示，哈萨克斯坦是“一带一路”的西出首站，“中哈两国在共建‘一带一路’框架内成功开展互联互通、产能、经贸、人文等领域合作，取得实打实、沉甸甸的丰硕成果。”Annual bilateral trade reached $25.25 billion last year, nearly 70 times the amount in 1992, the year in which the two countries established diplomatic ties, making the country "avanguard and exemplary zone in co-building the Belt and Road", Zhang told China National Radio recently.近日，张霄在接受中央人民广播电台采访时表示，2021年中哈贸易额达到252.5亿美元，1992年中哈两国建交之初贸易额的近70倍，“哈萨克斯坦已成为共建‘一带一路’的重要先行区和示范区。” The two countries' trade volume reached $17.69 billion in the first seven months of the year, according to China's General Administration of Customs.根据中国海关总署的数据，今年前7个月，中哈贸易额达到176.9亿美元。Meanwhile, China is working closely with Uzbekistan to boost thesynergy between the BRI and the Development Strategy for New Uzbekistan, the country's flagship vision for growth.与此同时，中方正与乌方密切合作，加快“新乌兹别克斯坦”战略和“一带一路”倡议对接合作。Both countries are working toward the goal of reaching $10 billion in annual bilateral trade, according to Chinese Ambassador to Uzbekistan Jiang Yan.中国驻乌兹别克斯坦大使姜岩说，两国正在朝着年双边贸易额100亿美元的目标努力。The trade volume between the two nations was $5.53 billion in the first seven months of 2022, according to Customs data.海关数据显示，2022年前7个月，中乌贸易额为55.3亿美元。Su Xiaohui, deputy director of the China Institute of International Studies' Department of American Studies, said the trip "will further build on the great relationships between the top leaders and chart the course for more highlights of bilateral collaboration in the years to come".中国国际问题研究院国际战略研究所副所长苏晓晖表示，此次访问“将进一步巩固两国最高领导人之间的良好关系，并为未来几年双边合作的更多亮点制定路线图”。"Also, the trip is expected to see China and the rest of the SCO member statesgear up in tackling the unprecedented economic and political challenges from the outside world, given thespillover effects of the global economic downturn, geopolitical conflicts and the COVID-19 pandemic," Su said.此外，考虑到全球经济低迷、地缘政治冲突和新冠肺炎疫情的溢出效应，预计此次访问将促使中国和上海合作组织其他成员国加紧应对来自外部世界的前所未有的经济和政治挑战。Samarkand, an Uzbek city known for its great cultural heritage, will host the SCO Summit on Thursday and Friday.上海合作组织峰会将于9月14日至16日在乌兹别克斯坦名城撒马尔罕举行。This year marks the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Charter of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the 15th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty on Long-Term Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation.今年是《上海合作组织宪章》签署20周年和《上海合作组织成员国长期睦邻友好合作条约》签署15周年。The organization has eight member states, four observer states and six dialogue partners, and around 10 countries have voiced their hope to join the group or upgrade their status within the group.目前有8个成员国、4个观察员国和6个对话伙伴，和其他10个国家表示希望加入上海合作组织或提高其在上海合作组织中的地位。"Instability and uncertainties are increasingly evident now", given the significant global changes unseen in a century, the COVID-19 pandemic and the resurfacing of a Cold War mentality in the world, Ambassador Jiang said recently in an interview with Chinese media.近日，姜岩大使在接受媒体采访时表示：“当前，国际形势面临百年未有之大变局，冠肺炎疫情全球大流行，冷战思维抬头，不稳定性和不确定性日益

网恋为什么流行？研究：看不见对方，更容易产生好感Falling in love sight unseen,often through the written word, has been happening for centuries. The Web hasonly made it easier.历史上从来不乏“见字如面”的爱情，而互联网的出现，让“见不到面的恋爱”更加容易。What makes these digitalrelationships successful? According to a study, one of the key draws ofInternet relationships of all kinds is the ability to find people who like thesame stuff that you do.网恋为何越来越普遍？一项研究表明，网恋的魅力在于，人们更容易找到与自己兴趣相投的对象。Love can beblind literally. One of the most famous studies is "Deviance In The Dark," in whichinteractions between students were observed in both pitch-dark and well-lit rooms.人们都说爱情是“盲目”的，有时看不见对方，反而容易产生好感。一项著名的实验叫做“黑暗中的偏差”，实验者将受试者安排在明、暗两个房间，分别观察他们的社交活动。Those who met in the dark room,on the whole, were much more open and intimate with their fellow participantsthan those who met face-to-face under the fluorescents. In short: When you getrid of all the stress attached to face-to-face meetings, people feel more freeto be themselves and get to know each other.比起光亮下的面谈，在黑暗环境中，受试者更能敞开心扉，与同伴互动。换言之，在减轻面对面的压力以后，人们更愿意做回自己，也更愿意了解他人。Diana Dorell, an intuitive dating coach, explained that"without real-life contact, you run the risk of developing strongfeelings for the idea of someone, not the person themselves."恋爱心理指导戴安娜·多雷尔声称，如果没在现实生活中见过面，你爱的很可能只是那个人的人设，而非本身。According to Joshua Klapow, aclinical psychologist, "While using video to connect with someonedefinitely offers more intimacy than texting, emailing, or writing, not beingable to touch or smell someone limits your sense of the other person."临床心理学家约书亚·卡拉普表示，虽然视频通话比短信、邮件和写信更进一步，但如果没有触觉和嗅觉的辅助，还是会大大降低恋爱的参与感。Besides, the Web is full of tricksters. One study found that81% of online daters admitted to lying about their weight, height, age or acombination of the three on their profiles. The Web allows users to presenttheir best selves to the public, and sometimes those selves are exaggerated.网恋的另一弊端在于，骗子比比皆是。一项研究表明，81%的网恋者会编造自己的体重、身高或年龄。在虚拟的网络世界里，人们可以随意自吹自擂，只为展现出“最好的一面”。Her is an American science-fiction romantic drama film.It follows Theodore Twombly, a man who develops a relationship withSamantha, an artificially intelligent virtual assistant personified through a female voice. 《她》是一部美国科幻爱情片，作家西奥多在结束了一段令他心碎的爱情长跑之后，爱上了电脑操作系统里的女声，而这个叫“萨曼莎”的姑娘不仅有着略微沙哑的性感嗓音，而且风趣幽默、善解人意，让孤独的男主泥足深陷。Theodore panics when Samanthabriefly goes offline. When she finally responds to him, she confirms thatshe is talking with thousands of people, and that she has fallen in love withhundreds of them. Theodore is very upset at the idea, but Samantha insists itonly makes her love for Theodore stronger.直到某天，萨曼莎无缘无故从电脑上消失了，西奥多这才得知，萨曼莎总共有8316位人类交互对象，并与其中的641位产生了爱情，而西奥多仅仅是其中之一。尽管如此，萨曼莎依然坚持自己是深爱着西奥多的，她的爱并没有因此而不同。人类无法接受的“海王”行为，在AI眼中却变得无可厚非。Meeting online is a great way toget to know someone and even to connect on a deeper level. But until you holdsomeone's face in your hands, and gaze into that special person’s eyes, and see what he or sheis really like in the flesh, you won't know without a doubt that it’s real love.总而言之，人们当然可以通过网络相识、相知甚至相恋，但只有真正见到对方，捧住对方脸颊，看进对方眼底的那一刻，你才能够确信，这个人就是你的此生挚爱。Deviance英[ˈdiːvɪəns] 美[ˈdiviəns]n. 偏常，异常，异常行为pitch-dark英[ˈpɪtʃˈdɑ:k] 美[ˈpɪtʃˈdɑrk]adj. 漆黑的intuitive英[ɪnˈtjuːɪtɪv] 美[ɪnˈtuːɪtɪv]adj. 直觉的personified英[pəˈsɒnɪfaɪ] 美[pərˈsɑnɪfaɪ]vt. 人格化，拟人化gaze英[ɡeɪz] 美[ɡeɪz]vi. 凝视，注视

英语新闻︱一个时代的结束：英国女王伊丽莎白二世去世The end of any life is a time to look back andreflect on the historic events it has witnessed — and rarely can that be somore than in the case of Queen Elizabeth II, whose life encompassed severaltransformations of the world stage.生命终结之后，人们便会不禁回顾反思这个生命一生所经所历。英国女王伊丽莎白二世的经历就像一本历史书，见证了世界舞台上的数次变革。The 96-year-old, whose death at Balmoral inScotland was announced by Buckingham Palace shortly after 6 pm on Thursday(Sept 8 2022), was born before the advent of talking pictures, and lived to seethe era of virtual reality and AI.白金汉宫8日宣布，伊丽莎白二世在巴尔莫勒尔堡去世，终年96岁。女王出生在有声电影之前，见证了虚拟现实和人工智能时代的到来。She arrived in a world where her grandfatherKing George V was the Emperor of India, and left it with Britain still findingits feet on the world stage following its exit from the European Union.1926年，女王出生，彼时印度还在伊丽莎白的祖父乔治五世的统治下。2022年，女王逝世，此时脱欧后的英国仍在寻寻觅觅，探索在世界舞台上站稳脚跟的方法。Her life encompassed the rise of fascism andthe fall of the Berlin Wall, World War II, the conquest of space, the global financialcrisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.女王的一生亲历了法西斯主义的兴起、柏林墙的倒塌、第二次世界大战、人类进入太空、全球金融危机、新冠肺炎疫情、俄乌冲突。Not only did she live to be the oldest monarch— only two of her predecessors had lived past the age of 80 — but she alsobecame the longest-serving monarch in the history of the United Kingdom, afigure of seemingly immovable permanence and dependability on the world stage,while leaders of so many countries came and went.伊丽莎白二世是英国最长寿、在位时间最长的君主，此前仅有维多利亚和乔治三世超过了80岁。在这个不断变化的世界里，政权迭代更替，但唯有女王一直屹立不倒。The woman she surpassed as the longest reigningmonarch was her great-grandmother, Queen Victoria, whose era was known as theVictorian age. Similarly, the 70 years, seven months and two days of her reignbecame the modern Elizabethan age.伊丽莎白二世超越她的曾曾祖母维多利亚女王，成为英国在位时间最长的君主。维多利亚女王在位时期被称为维多利亚时代，而伊丽莎白二世在位的70年7个月零2天则铸就了第二个伊丽莎白时代。Born on April 21, 1926, Elizabeth AlexandraMary Windsor was the first child of Albert, Duke of York, and his wife,formerly Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. The young Elizabeth and sister Margaret,four years her junior, enjoyed a comfortable, happy and close family childhood,but all their lives were transformed in December 1936.伊丽莎白·亚历山德拉·玛丽·温莎出生于1926年4月21日，是乔治六世和伊丽莎白·鲍斯-莱昂的长女。童年时代，伊丽莎白与父母、妹妹玛格丽特公主一起过着舒适隐逸的生活，1936年12月，一切都发生了改变。Following a dispute over his wish to marryAmerican divorcee Wallis Simpson, the Queen's uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicatedthe throne before he was even crowned, and out of the blue, her shy, stammeringfather was thrust into the spotlight as the country's next king, a role he hadnever expected to take — and with him, into that spotlight, he took his wifeand two daughters.1936年，伊丽莎白的伯父爱德华八世坚持同离婚两次的辛普森夫人结婚而被迫逊位。伊丽莎白的父亲生来腼腆，自幼患有口吃，却出乎意料地被推到了聚光灯下，成为了下一任国王。The story of the Queen's father, known as KingGeorge VI, and his struggle to adapt to his new role in life is told in thefilm The King's Speech. His 16 years on the throne, from 1936 to 1952, took inone of the most turbulent periods in modern British history, including WorldWar II, the fragmentation of the Empire, and the construction of a new Britain.电影《国王的演讲》讲述了女王的父亲，即乔治六世国王，如何努力适应国王这一新角色的故事。乔治六世在位的16年（1936年到1952年），是英国现代史上最为动荡的时期之一，历经了第二次世界大战、大英帝国解体和英联邦的建设。In 1952, when the young Princess Elizabeth —who in 1947 had married her third cousin, Prince Philip — was on a trip toKenya, the news came through of the death of her father, aged just 56. At theage of 25, Princess Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth II, and a new era hadbegun, one that has only ended now, 70 years later.1947年，伊丽莎白与远房表亲菲利普王子结为夫妻。1952年，伊丽莎白在肯尼亚收到了父亲英王乔治六世去世的噩耗。25岁的伊丽莎白加冕登基，成为了英国女王，一个新的时代就此展开。The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, a titleher husband was given on their wedding day, had four children; Charles, Anne,Andrew and Edward. They, in turn, produced eight grandchildren and 12great-grandchildren, the most recent addition being Andrew's grand-daughter,Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, born in September 2021, and as those aroundthem struggled, the royal couple's marriage remained a rock of solidity untilthe Duke's death on Apr 9, 2021, aged 99.女王与其丈夫爱丁堡公爵、菲利普亲王育有三子一女，长子查尔斯、次子安德鲁、三子爱德华、女儿安妮公主，还有8个孙辈和12个曾孙辈。皇室最小的成员是安德鲁的孙女西耶娜·伊丽莎白·马佩利·莫齐，出生于2021年9月。女王与菲利普亲王一直相濡以沫、风雨同舟，2021年4月9日，菲利普亲王去世，享年99岁。In contrast, of her children's marriages, onlyEdward's has survived, with the high-profile separation of Charles and hiswife, Diana, Princess of Wales, in 1992 being the darkest moment of what theQueen called an 'annus horribilis', which also saw Anne divorced and Andrewseparate from his wife, before the year ended with a serious fire at WindsorCastle.然而，女王的子女中，只有三子爱德华的婚姻没有以离婚告终。1992年被女王称为“多灾之年”，这一年，安妮公主离婚、安德鲁王子与妻子分居、温莎城堡失火。更有查尔斯和戴安娜王妃高调分居，女王将这称之为至暗时刻。Events of 1997 took an even darker turn,however, when the fallout of the shock death of Diana in a car crash in Pariscaused the biggest crisis for the royal family since the abdication.1997年，事情发生了更为黑暗的转折，戴安娜王妃在法国巴黎因车祸丧生，给王室带来了自1936年爱德华八世退位以来最大的危机。As the nation reeled and saw spontaneousdisplays of mass public emotion, unlike anything nor

英语新闻∣科学家发明蟑螂机器人可用于搜索和救援任务While it may sound like something that has crawled out of your nightmares, cyborg cockroaches have arrived as friends rather than foes.虽然蟑螂机器人听起来很恐怖，但是它其实是人类的朋友而非敌人。Scientists in Japan have designed a new remote-controlled insect, equipped with a battery 'backpack' that is powered by solar panels.日本科学家设计了一款新型遥控蟑螂机器人，它配备了由太阳能电池板供电的电池“背包”。Thecockroach, which is part insect and part machine, is intended to enterhazardous areas, monitor the environment or undertake search and rescue missions without needing to be recharged.这种蟑螂机器人是蟑螂和机器人的混合体，无需充电，用于进入危险区域，监测环境或执行搜救援任务。The researchers from the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research had to install some components into a tiny pack to allow for all the roach's natural movements.来自RIKEN Cluster的研究人员进行了开创性的研究，他们必须将一些组件安装到一个小背包中，以便让蟑螂自由行动。Lead author Kenjiro Fukuda said: 'The body-mounted ultrathin organic solar cell module achieves a power output of 17.2 mW, which is more than 50 times larger than the power output of current state-of-the art energy harvesting devices on living insects.'研究报告的主要作者福田健次郎称：“安装在蟑螂机器人身体上的超薄有机太阳能电池模块的输出功率为17.2兆瓦，比目前最先进的昆虫能量收集装置的输出功率高出50多倍。”Famously able to survive a nuclear war, cockroaches have been the inspiration for a number of technologies in recent years.众所周知，蟑螂能够在核战争中幸存下来，近年来，它一直是许多技术的灵感来源。Different teams of scientists have designed remote-controlled robo-bugs that canscale walls, carry objects and find humans during search-and-rescue missions.一些科学家团队设计了可遥控的昆虫机器人，它们可以在搜救援任务中穿墙、携带物体和寻找人类。The cockroaches are still alive, but wires attached to their two 'cerci' - sensory organs on the end of their abdomens - send electrical impulses that cause the insect to move right or left.蟑螂机器人是有生命的，但连接在蟑螂腹部末端的两个感觉器官“尾蚴”上的电线发出电脉冲，控制它左右移动。A battery is necessary for the sending and receiving of these electrical signals, which needs to be charged up.发送和接收这些电流信号需要电池，而电池需要充电。While it's possible to build docking stations for recharging the battery, the need to return and recharge could disrupt time-sensitive missions.虽然可以建造充电站为电池充电，但返回充电可能会使时间紧迫的任务中断。The RIKEN team wanted to create a more practical version that did not need to return to a docking station when it ran out of power.RIKEN团队希望打造一个更实用的蟑螂机器人，在电源耗尽时不需要返回充电站。Therefore, they designed an on-board solar cell that could continuously ensure that the cockroach stays charged while it works.因此，他们设计了一种太阳能电池，可以持续确保蟑螂在工作时保持充电。However, cockroaches have a limited surface area available for all the components necessary to move its legs and keep it powered.然而，蟑螂的大小限制了它可以携带的腿部遥控组件的大小。The solution, published in npj Flexible Electronics, was to design a special 'backpack' that could neatly carry both the wireless leg-control module and rechargeable lithium polymer battery.于是研究人员设计了一种特殊的背包，以便于蟑螂携带遥控模块和可充电锂聚合物电池。这一研究成果发表在《npj-柔性电子》上。This was attached to the top of the insect on itsthorax, and was 3D printed to fit perfectly to the curved surface of the Madagascar cockroach or Gromphadorhina portentosa.研究人员将背包固定在蟑螂的胸腹上部，并运用3D打印技术使其完美贴合马达加斯加蟑螂的身体。It allowed for this electronic device to be stably mounted on the insect for over a month, while leaving space elsewhere on the body to implant the solar panel.这种电子设备可以固定在蟑螂身上一个多月，同时还留出空间给蟑螂植入太阳能电池板。The 0.004 mm thick organic solar cell module was mounted on the dorsal side of the roach's abdomen.0.004毫米厚的有机太阳能电池模块安装在蟑螂腹部的背侧。Cockroach英[ˈkɒkrəʊtʃ]美[ˈkɑkroʊtʃ]n. [昆]蟑螂Hazardous英[ˈhæzədəs]美[ˈhæzərdəs]adj. 冒险的; 有危险的; 碰运气的scale英[skeɪl]美[skeɪl]v. 攀登；改变…的大小Thorax英[ˈθɔ:ræks] 美[ˈθɔrˌæks,ˈθor-]n.（昆虫的）胸部

今年中秋十五的月亮终于十五圆啦The Mid-Autumn Festival is fast approaching! September’s fullMoon reaches its peak at 17:59 on September 10. Weather permitting,people can enjoy the glowing fullMoon from nightfall on and express their longing for their hometown and loved ones.这个9月，即将迎来中秋节。今年的中秋月是‘十五的月亮十五圆’，最圆时刻出现在9月10日17时59分。届时只要天气晴好，从傍晚开始，人们就可以欣赏这轮‘分外明’的中秋满月，尽情寄托思念故乡、思念亲人之情。Mid-Autumn Festival traditionally falls on the 15th day of the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, which is in September or early October on the Gregorian calendar. This year, the festival falls on September 10, coinciding with Teachers’ Day. The four major traditional Chinese festivals include the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Spring Festival, the Qingming Festival, and the Dragon Boat Festival. Since ancient times, there have been customs such as appreciating the moon, offering sacrifices to the moon, and eating moon cakes.农历八月十五是中秋节，这个节日一般出现在公历的9月7日到10月6日之间，今年中秋节在9月10日，恰逢教师节。中秋节与春节、清明节、端午节并称中国四大传统节日。中秋节自古便有赏月、祭月、吃月饼等民间习俗，流传至今。As the saying goes, “Moon of the fifteenth gets round on the sixteenth”, that is, most full moons occur on the 16th day of the lunar calendar. This year, however, the fullMoon will occur on the 15th day of the lunar calendar, at 17:59 on September 10.俗话说“十五的月亮十六圆”，就是说出现在农历十六的满月居多。不过，今年八月十五中秋节的月亮却是十五圆，具体满月的时间是9月10日17时59分。According to Wang Kechao,a staff memberofPurple Mountain Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences, theMoon is the closest celestial body toEarth. The different shapes of theMoon seen fromEarth are called “lunar phases”: it can be a thin crescent moon, or it can be a full moon hanging high in the sky…中科院紫金山天文台科普主管王科超介绍，月球是距离地球最近的天体，从地球上看月球在不同日期呈现的不同相貌即为“月相”：有时是细窄的月牙，有时是一轮满月当空高挂……“The traditional Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar based on the monthly cycles of the Moon’s phases,” Wang said.On the first day of the lunar month, theMoon passes betweenEarth and theSun,making it unable to be observed on Earth. TheMoon on this day is calledthe newMoonwhich marks the beginning of a lunar cycle. The interval from the new Moon to the next is a lunar month.“在我国传统历法中，月份即依据月相而制定。”王科超说，月球和太阳黄经相同的那一刻为“朔”，朔所在当日是朔日，也就是农历初一，这一天在地球上用肉眼看不到月亮，朔是月相变化周期的起点。从一个朔到下一个朔之间的间隔就是农历的一个月。When will thefull Moonappear? The fullMoon does not always occur on the 15th lunar month, but more often on the 16th, rarely on the 17th, and occasionally on the 14th, Wang said.From 2021, the fullMoon will emergeon the Mid-Autumn Festival for three consecutive years.月儿到底何时圆？王科超表示，满月并不一定刚好出现在农历十五，更多的是出现于农历十六，少数时候也会出现于农历十七，偶尔亦会出现于农历十四。从2021年开始，连续三年的中秋都会是“十五的月亮十五圆”。来源：新华社央视网

英语新闻∣恶性通胀导致生活质量骤降英国掀起罢工潮With inflation at a 40-year high and the cost of living soaring, Britons from all walks of life are taking to the streets to demand a pay rise. Railroad workers, postal workers, engineers, journalists, lawyers all joined the strikers.面对创下40年新高的通胀水平和飞涨的生活成本，英国各行各业的人忍无可忍，纷纷走上街头要求涨薪。铁路工人、邮政人员、工程师、记者、律师都陆续加入了罢工者的行列。  Workers in the United Kingdom have had enough of falling living standards.英国的工人们已经受够了不断下降的生活标准。Rail workers, journalists, lawyers, andpostalworkers have gone on strike in recent weeks to demand higher pay as inflation soars to its highest level in decades.随着通胀飙升至几十年来最高水平，过去几周，铁路工人、记者、律师、邮政人员都已经罢工要求涨薪。At least 155,000 workers are currently on strike, including staff at the country’s postal service, and engineers and call center workers for telecom provider BT (BTGOF). Two rail unions on Wednesday announced further strike action by 14,000 of their members later this month.目前至少有15.5万名工人参加了罢工，包括英国邮政人员、工程师和英国电信客服。8月31日两家铁路工会宣布1.4万名会员将于本月晚些时候罢工。More strikes could be on the way this fall, threateningunprecedenteddisruption across a range of industries. Teachers, doctors and nurses are set to vote on strike action in the coming weeks. Unite and Unison—the country’s biggest unions with 2.7 million members in total—are calling for others to join them in synchronized action.今年秋天还将有更多罢工发生，可能导致一系列行业出现前所未有的混乱。教师、医生和护士将在未来几周就罢工行动进行投票。会员总人数达到270万的英国两大工会组织Unite和Unison正在呼吁更多会员加入进来，采取一致行动。It is one of the most significant waves of industrial unrest the United Kingdom has seen since the“winter of discontent”in the late 1970s whenrampantinflation pushed workers to stage mass walkouts. About 7.9 million working days were lost between November 1978 and February 1979, according to the Office for National Statistics.这是英国自上世纪70年代末的“不满之冬”以来最严重的罢工潮之一，当时同样是恶性通胀迫使工人实行大规模罢工。英国国家统计局的数据显示，1978年11月至1979年2月期间，英国损失了约790万个工作日。Soaring prices and years of stagnant wages are the backdrop to this year’s disputes. Consumer price inflation hit a 40-year high of 10.1% in July. Forecasters at Citigroup said last week that inflation could shoot past 18% at the start of next year, and Goldman Sachs thinks it could even hit 22% if gas prices don’t fall soon.今年罢工潮的背后是飞涨的物价和多年不涨的工资。英国7月份的通胀水平达到了10.1%，创下了40年新高。据花旗集团的专家上周预测，明年年初通胀率可能会突破18%。高盛集团认为，如果油价不在短期内回落，通胀率甚至可能高达22%。Workers are already feeling the strain. Average real wages, which account for inflation, fell by 3% between April and June, compared with the same period last year. That was the biggest hit to spending power in more than 20 years. Real wages barely increased in the decade to 2020.工人们已经感受到了生活的重压。反映通胀水平的平均实际工资在4月至6月间同比下降了3%。这是二十多年来对购买力的最大打击。在2020年之前的十年里，实际工资几乎就没涨过。And average household energy bills—which have already risen 54% this year—are set to increase by another 80% to £3,549 ($4,124) in October. According to estimates by Auxilione, a research firm, average bills could hit £7,700 ($8,949) next April—equivalent to a £642 ($746) monthly bill.今年英国家庭平均能源支出已经上涨了54%，而且10月份还将再上涨80%，达到3549英镑（约合人民币28220元）。据调研公司Auxilione估计，到明年4月，英国家庭平均能源支出将达到7700英镑，相当于每个月支出642英镑。The United Kingdom has“never seen [this] level of disruption across all sectors,”Chiara Benassi, an associate professor in comparative employment relations at King’s College London, told CNN Business.伦敦国王学院比较雇佣关系学副教授奇亚拉·贝纳西告诉美国有线电视新闻网商业频道，英国“从未出现过这种程度的各行各业混乱局面”。In recent months, the cost-of-living crisis has acted as a“trigger”for widespreadgrievancesthat have been building up over a long period of time, she said.她指出，近几个月来，生活成本危机成了长时间积累起来的广大民怨的一根“导火索”。"These strikes affect not only [what] we would say [are] manual occupations or low-skilled jobs that more evidently would struggle with the cost-of-living crisis, but also highly-skilled jobs like junior doctors, British Telecom engineers, barristers, academics, teachers,”Benassi said.贝纳西说：“这些罢工不仅影响到了我们所谓的体力劳动或低技能职业（从事这些职业的人显然更易陷入生活成本危机），也影响到了实习医生、英国电信的工程师、律师、学者和教师等高技能职业。”UK unemployment was 3.8% between April and June this year, ONS data shows. That’s its lowest level in more than 50 years. There was also one unemployed person for every jobvacancy—a record low.英国国家统计局的数据显示，今年4月至6月英国失业率为3.8%，是50多年来的最低水平。岗位空缺和失业者的比例为1：1，这也是历史低值。"It means that many workers are in work and they are in a good position to ask for [a pay] increase. They cannot be easily replaced [at a macro level],”said Manuela Galetto, associate professor of employment relations at the University of Warwick’s Business School.华威大学商学院雇佣关系学副教授曼纽拉·加莱托说：“这意味着许多工人都有工作，他们处于要求加薪的有利位置，（从宏观层面上看）不会轻易被替代。”postal英[ˈpəʊstl]美[ˈpoʊstl]adj. 邮政的unprecedented英[ʌnˈpresɪdentɪd]美[ʌnˈpresɪdentɪd]adj. 前所未有的，无前例的rampant英[ˈræmpənt]美[ˈræmpənt]adj. 蔓延的；猖獗的grievance英[ˈɡriːvəns]美[ˈɡriːvəns]n. 不满；苦衷；委屈vacancy英[ˈveɪkənsi]美[ˈveɪkənsi]n. 空缺；空虚

英语新闻∣揭晓：最消耗热量的8种减肥运动方式Running"Running is one of the best calorie burners out there,”certifiedpersonal trainer Daniel Saltos says. An average person can burn anywhere from 500 to 1000 in one hour of running.“Speed, pace, and endurance are all factors that can impact this range. But running uses every muscle group in the body, allowing you to burn more calories."跑步。专业私人教练丹尼尔·萨尔托斯说：“跑步是最消耗热量的运动之一。”普通人跑步1小时可以燃烧500到1000卡路里。萨尔托斯指出：“速度、节奏和耐力都是影响热量消耗的因素。但是跑步会用到全身的各组肌肉群，让你消耗更多热量。”SwimmingSwimming is a low-impact workout that also targets multiple muscle groups.“In just 30 minutes of swimming, an average person can burn 200 to 300 calories,”Saltos says. Swimming also improvescardiovascularhealth, builds endurance, and increases strength—all great reasons to want tohopin the water.游泳。游泳是一种低强度的锻炼方式，同样也会用到多组肌肉群。萨尔托斯说：“普通人游泳30分钟就能燃烧200到300卡路里。”游泳还能改善心血管健康，增强耐力和力量，这些都是促使你去游泳的好理由。CyclingThere’s nothing like a nice evening bike ride when the weather’s nice, and it’s actually a great workout for you as well. A long, steady bike ride can burn up to 500 to 700 calories in an hour, Saltos says.骑车。在天气晴好的夜晚骑车出行再惬意不过了，而且也是一种很好的锻炼方式。萨尔托斯说，匀速骑车长达1小时可以消耗500到700卡路里。High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)If you want intensity, HIIT exercises provide exactly that. These workouts involve working hard in intervals, then resting.
