In the statement they released on Nov 4 after their meeting in Germany, the G7 foreign ministers claimed they "aimed for constructive cooperation with China, where possible".Yet, while acknowledging that global challenges such as peace and security, global health, the climate and biodiversity crises and the conservation of natural resources can only be tackled successfully through cooperation within the rules-based international order, they made clear that the G7 countries will continue to ignore their international commitments and legal obligations with regard to Taiwan and carry on trampling over the rules-based international order as they see fit.Once again they hyped up their unfounded allegations of human rights violations and abuses in Xinjiang and Xizang, and shed crocodile tears at the social turmoil they had fomented in Hong Kong, decrying the "erosion" of rights, freedoms and autonomy.They also claimed to be "seriously concerned about the situation in and around the East and South China Seas" and stressed "the importance of maintaining a free and open Indo-Pacific that is inclusive and based on the rule of law", expressing their strong opposition "to any moves that increase tensions and undermine regional stability and the rules-based international order".Which showed some chutzpah at least, since it is the G7 countries that have been ramping up the militarization of the waters and employing threats, coercion and intimidation to try and sow the seeds of division and change the peaceful status quo in the Asia-Pacific region.Although issued as a "joint statement", the wording makes it very clear who is the trouble-making ringleader of this gang of seven. No prizes for guessing it is the United States — the hypocritical values-based language gives the game away.Precipitated by their "boss" across the Atlantic to self-destruct their peaceful relations with Russia, their main natural gas supplier, one would have thought that the self-inflicted suffering would have prompted the European G7 members at least to reflect on where toeing Washington's line might lead. Yet it seems not.Some cannot understand even the clearest lessons, the other members of the gang are still enthusiastically following the US' lead. It seems the Cold War mentality is icily entombed within their cozy coterie.The world is transitioning from one era to another. The economic waxing of the East and the corresponding relative waning of the West mean the privileges enjoyed by the elite clique of the latter will have to be forgone. Not a pleasant thought to those used to getting what they want by means of extortion, blackmail and armed robbery.Rather than continuing to be accomplices to the US' weak-character strong-arm antics, the other G7 members should heed the advice of a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman and stop clinging to their outdated Cold War mentality and ideological prejudice, stop interfering in other countries' internal affairs, stop repeating lies and fallacies, and stop provoking regional conflicts. Instead, they should act law-abidingly and maturely and create favorable conditions for global cooperation.

Pittsburgh-based robotics and engineering startup recently unveiled Moonwalkers, a pair of battery-powered shoes that it claims can boost walk speeds by up to 250%.一家总部在美国匹兹堡的机器人与工程初创企业近日推出了一款名为“月球漫步者”的电池供电鞋，据称可以将步行速度提高250%之多。At first glance, Moonwalkers look like a pair of futuristic roller-skates, but there is actually a lot more to them than that. You’re actually meant to walk with them the way you would regular shoes or sneakers, letting the motorized wheels put a spring in your step. Powered by a state-of-the-art brushless DC motor, this ingenious contraption is actually a platform that can be attached to a wide variety of footwear to significantly increase your walking speed up to a reported 7mph/11kph. For comparison, humans’ average walking speed ranges from 2.5 to 4 mph. The sensation of walking with the world’s fastest shoes has been compared to that of walking on a ‘moving walkway’ in an airport.乍看之下，“月球漫步者”就像一双未来主义风格的旱冰鞋，但实际上鞋里大有乾坤。你穿着它可以像穿普通鞋子或跑鞋一样走路，让电动轮助你脚下生风。这款设计巧妙的鞋的动力源自最先进的无刷直流电动机，实际上就是一个可以附着于各种鞋类的平台，能够显著提升步行速度，据称可达每小时7英里（11千米）。相比之下，人类平均步行速度为每小时2.5到4英里（4到6千米）。穿着“世界最快鞋”行走的感觉与在机场移动走道上行走的感觉差不多。Designed by Shift Robotics, an offshoot of Carnegie Mellon University, Moonwalkers consist of a 300W brushless motor in each 4.2-lb (1.9-kg) shoe that powers eight polyurethane wheels. There is also an AI-powered gearbox that increases or decreases speed according to data regarding the wearer’s walk collected by a series of sensors. The shoes are also able to detect downhill movement to prevent accidents.“月球漫步者”由美国卡耐基梅隆大学下属的Shift Robotics公司设计，每双重量为1.9千克的鞋中包含一个300瓦的无刷电机，为8个聚氨酯轮子提供动力。鞋子当中还有一个人工智能变速箱，可以根据一系列传感器收集的穿着者步行数据来加快或减慢速度。这款鞋还能检测到下坡运动以防止事故。Photo: Shift Robotics“Moonwalkers are not skates. They’re shoes. The world’s fastest shoes actually,” Xunjie Zang, founder and CEO of Shift Robotics said. “You don’t skate in them. You walk. You don’t have to learn how to use them, the shoes learn from you.”Shift Robotics公司的创始人兼首席执行官臧迅杰（音译）称：“月球漫步者不是旱冰鞋，而是健步鞋，实际上它是全世界走路最快的健步鞋。你不是穿着它滑行，而是步行，你无须学习如何使用这种鞋，鞋子会学习你的走路方式。”But do the world’s fastest shoes work on uneven terrain, or things like stairs? We all know how tricky those are to mitigate in rollerskates. Well, apparently the designers took that into consideration and implemented a simple gesture that allows the wearer to lock the wheels so that they can walk up or down stairs as they would in regular footwear.但是，穿着这款世界最快鞋能否在不平坦的地形上行走或爬楼梯呢？我们都知道穿旱冰鞋走这种路有多难。不过，显然设计师已经考虑到了这一点，让穿着者用一个简单的动作就可以锁住轮子，这样他们就能像穿普通鞋一样上下楼梯了。Moonwalkers were recently unveiled as part of a Kickstarter campaign that has already reached almost double its crowdfunding goal of $90,000. The first batch is expected to ship in March of 2023, at a retail price of $1,399. That’s not cheap, but then again, this isn’t your average pair of shoes, it’s the world’s fastest pair of shoes.“月球漫步者”近期作为众筹网站Kickstarter的项目推出，目前已经筹到了目标资金9万美元的近两倍。第一批鞋子预期将在2023年3月发货，零售价为1399美元（约合人民币10189元）。这个价格不便宜，不过这可不是一双普通的鞋子，而是全世界最快的鞋子。英文来源：Oddity Central翻译&编辑：丹妮

China has again drawn global attention over the past week with a highlypacked diplomatic agenda involving four official visits by internationalleaders, an import expo that attracted enterprises from 127 countries andregions, and a global conference on wetland protection.在过去的一周里，中国紧凑的外交日程再次吸引了全球的关注，其中包括四场国际领导人的正式访问，一场吸引了127个国家和地区企业的进口博览会，以及一场全球湿地保护会议。Analysts said the timing of thevisits and the two grand events held by China, which took place less than twoweeks after the conclusion of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Partyof China, epitomized the strong desire of various nations to strengthen exchanges andcooperation with the country and to explore the opportunities offered by itsvast market.分析人士表示，此次四位外国领导人的访问以及在中国举办的两场盛大活动，都是在中共二十大闭幕不到两周后举行的，这体现了各国加强与中国的交流与合作、探索中国广阔市场的强烈愿望。"The string of high-levelmeetings is a testament to China's growing stature on the world stage, andincreasing willingness to engage with other countries on a wide range ofissues," said Andy Mok, a research fellow at the Center for China andGlobalization.中国与全球化研究中心研究员莫天安表示:“一系列高级别会议证明，中国在世界舞台上的地位日益上升，中国也越来越愿意与其他国家讨论各类问题。”President Xi Jinping, who is alsogeneral secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, hostedvisits by Nguyen Phu Trong, general secretary of the Communist Party of VietnamCentral Committee, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Tanzanian PresidentSamia Suluhu Hassan and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Oct 31 to Friday.从10月31日至11月4日，中共中央总书记习近平会见了越南共产党中央委员会总书记阮富仲,巴基斯坦总理夏巴兹·谢里夫,坦桑尼亚总统萨米娅·苏卢胡·哈桑和德国总理奥拉夫·朔尔茨。The president also deliveredspeeches via video link at the opening ceremony of the fifth ChinaInternational Import Expo on Friday and the 14th Meeting of the Conference ofthe Contracting Parties to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands on Saturday.习近平还以视频方式在11月4日的第五届中国国际进口博览会开幕式和11月5日的《湿地公约》第十四届缔约方大会上发表了演讲。It was Trong's first overseasvisit since he was reelected to the current position, and the first visit toChina by Sharif, Hassan and Scholz since taking office.这是阮富仲连任总理以来首次出访，也是谢里夫、哈桑和朔尔茨就任总理以来首次访华。During talks with the fourleaders, Xi explained the key outcomes from the 20th CPC National Congress,envisioned the growth of bilateral relations and promoted a host of importantcooperative projects.在同四国领导人的会谈中，习近平阐述了中国共产党第二十次全国代表大会的重要成果，展望了两国关系的发展，推动了一系列重要合作项目。Su Xiaohui, deputy director ofthe China Institute of International Studies' Department of American Studies,said one of the key messages from the talks is that China has remained true toits general direction of deepening cooperation with various nations andattaining win-win cooperation.中国国际问题研究院美国研究所副所长苏晓晖表示，这些会谈传递出的一个关键信息是，中国一直坚持深化与各国合作、实现合作共赢。Guo Yanjun, director of ChinaForeign Affairs University's Institute of Asian Studies, said in an interviewwith Xinhua News Agency that Vietnam and Pakistan are both key neighboringcountries of China, and the latest visits have charted the way forward in promoting bilateral relations and building a community witha shared future between both sides.外交学院亚洲研究所所长郭延军在接受新华社采访时表示，越南和巴基斯坦都是中国的重要邻国，最近的访问为促进双边关系和构建双方命运共同体指明了方向。Su, from China Institute ofInternational Studies, said the latest high-level exchange between China andTanzania is another example of the principles of sincerity, real results,affinity and good faith being upheld by Beijing, and spoke volumes about thelevel of importance China attaches to unity and cooperation with Africa.苏晓晖认为，此次中坦高层交流是真实亲诚理念的又一次生动演绎，充分体现了中国对非洲国家的重视与尊重。The whirlwind one-day visit by Scholz, who was accompanied by ateam of German industry executives, marked the first visit by a European and G7leader to China in almost three years.朔尔茨在德国行业高管团队的陪同下对中国进行了为期一天的旋风式访问，这是近三年来欧洲和七国集团领导人首次访问中国。In a social media post afterhis visit, Scholz highlighted reliability and trust as two values playingimportant roles in German and Chinese culture.朔尔茨访问回国后在社交媒体上强调，可靠和信任这两种价值观在中国和德国的文化中扮演着重要的角色。"At the same time, theyform the basis of diplomatic relations and political partnerships. It is a goodthing that we met in person and held talks," he wrote.“同时，它们也是外交关系和政治伙伴关系的基础。很高兴我们面对面进行了会谈，”他写道。Su said the fact that theGerman chancellor has taken the lead among European leaders in visiting Chinaand conducting face-to-face dialogues with Chinese leaders was a forcefulresponse to theories about decoupling and set a fine example for positive interactionwith China.苏晓晖表示，德国总理在欧洲国家领导人中率先访华，中德领导人面对面直接沟通对话，既有力回击了“脱钩”谬论，也为欧洲其他国家同中国良性互动作了示范。One of the major messages fromXi during the talks and his keynote speech at the CIIE was that China willcontinue to widen its opening-up and share opportunities with the world.习近平在这些会谈以及在进博会上的主旨演讲中传达的一个重要信息就是，中国将继续扩大对外开放，与各国共享机遇。Mok, from CCG, said the visitsby leaders from all over the world show that China is serious about itsresponsibility as "an increasingly important member of the globalcommunity, and demonstrate its confidence that its hard-won insights andexperience can contribute to a safer and more hopeful world".莫天安表示，各国领导人的访华表明，中国认真对待自己作为“国际社会中日益重要的一员”的责任，并表明它相信其

Aperformance art piece presented by YoannBourgeois, a French choreographer, went viral recently. The video shows him trying to climb a staircase but thenfalling down. Instead of falling on the ground, Bourgeois lands on a trampoline and then bouncesback onto the staircase, only to fall backagain. Bourgeois repeats the same action of falling and bouncing back multipletimes before he finally lands on the top of the staircase.近日，法国舞蹈家、编舞家尤安尼·布尔热瓦（Yoann Bourgeois）完成的一段艺术表演在网络上爆火。视频展示了他试图爬上楼梯，但却不断摔倒的情景。不过，他没有摔到地上，而是落在了蹦床上，然后弹回楼梯上，之后又掉了下来。在最终登上楼梯顶部之前，布尔热瓦重复了多次相同的下落和反弹动作。According to The Indian Express, a video of this performance wasfirst posted on TikTok by photographer Mathieu Stern who saw it live. Stern’svideo has since been reposted across many social mediaplatforms. On Twitter, a video of this performance art gathered over 25.7million views since it was posted on Oct 24.据《印度快报》（The Indian Express）报道，这段视频最早由观看了现场表演的外国摄影师马修•斯特恩（Mathieu Stern）拍摄并发布于TikTok，之后被网友转发至多个社交媒体平台爆火。目前，该视频仅在推特上就已收获超2000万的播放量。Bourgeois’s fluid and effortless movementsshown in the video have impressed people, who took to social media to theorizeabout the message of his performance. A popular theory about the performance isthat it indicates that the path to success is not straightforward and includesseveral ups and downs. Many people also argued that Bourgeois’s act of gettingup after each fall shows that one should not give up on their goal despitesetbacks.布尔热瓦对身体的控制力令人惊叹，表演所传达的信息也引发全球网友热议。很多网友认为，这段表演是在表达通往成功的道路并不平坦，人生充满起起落落；也有不少网友认为，布尔热瓦每次摔倒后都爬起来的行为表明，一个人在遭遇挫折后不应放弃自己的目标。“If you want to get thatliteral to his point, he technically is not returning to the same step eachtime he falls. Inmost cases, hereturns further back. The point is that you have to get back on the path tosuccess rather than just staying down on thetrampoline.” A viewer commented.“如果你想从他的动作中理解他想表达什么，从技术上讲，他并不是每次摔倒都回到同一高度。大多数情况下，他会弹回到更低的地方。所以重点是你必须回到向成功努力的道路上，而不是躺平在蹦床上。”一位视频观看者表示。

英语新闻｜赠台大熊猫团团病了，大陆专家已抵台两度前往动物园探视Two panda experts from the Chinese mainland arrived in Taiwan on Tuesday after Taipei Zoo’s Tuan Tuan was suspected to have a malignant brain tumor. The experts visited the panda twice on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively, finding that the health condition of Tuan Tuan is better than expected, island media Chinatimes.com reported on Wednesday, citing the Taipei Zoo.台北市立动物园大熊猫“团团”疑似罹患恶性脑瘤，11月1日，两位大陆专家抵台提供救助并已在11月1日和2日两度前往动物园探视，据台湾中时新闻网2日报道，大猫熊馆长陈玉燕透露，专家探视后发现“团团”病情比想象中乐观。The 18-year-old male panda, named Tuan Tuan, is one of two giant pandas gifted by the mainland to Taiwan in 2008. Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan gave birth to "Yuan Zai" and "Yuan Bao", who are beloved by many of Taiwan’s residents. 十八岁的大熊猫“团团”是大陆赠台大熊猫之一，2008年起在台北安家，并与另一只同期赠台的大熊猫“圆圆”先后产下“圆仔”和“圆宝”，受到众多台湾民众喜爱。After symptoms of epilepsy were observed in August, Tuan Tuan was tested twice with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in September and October respectively. The test showed that the infected area was enlarged and the disease had rapidly worsened. Although the condition of Tuan Tuan has not been confirmed, it is highly likely that he has a malignant brain tumor. “团团”自2022年8月被观察到疑似癫痫的症状后，分别于9月和10月接受了两次核磁共振检查，发现病灶区域明显扩大，病情进展快速。虽然“团团”的病情尚未确认，但从检查结果看，极有可能是脑部患有恶性肿瘤。The health condition of Tuan Tuan aroused concerns on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. The Taipei Zoo said it has exchanged detailed information with the experts and has reached an agreement concerning the treatment. The experts have checked on the panda and will give feedback on whether or not it is the animal's brain that is causing weakness in its hind limbs, according to the report.“团团”的病情牵动着两岸民众的心。台北市立动物园表示，他们跟大陆专家讨论了一些医疗的细节，专家也很同意目前园方的做法，而至于是否为脑部的影响导致后肢无力，专家后续也会给一些回馈。There is no updated treatment plan yet, and the two experts will communicate with other mainland experts over the next few days. It is hoped that they can form opinions based on the observation of the panda's behavior, but it will take three to four days, according to a report from the Taipei Zoo.针对医疗的部分，园方表示，目前还没有更新的策略出现，两位专家这几天也会再跟大陆相关经验人士沟通。郑秋虹表示，希望两位专家能从“团团”行为上观察来给意见，但需要3至4天的观察。Taiwan's Council of Agriculture once said that Tuan Tuan could be sent back to the Chinese mainland, causing criticism from residents in Taiwan. Many netizens expressed their gratitude to the mainland experts for coming to Taiwan and hoped that Tuan Tuan's condition can be improved.台当局“农委会”曾称可以把“团团”送回大陆，引起台湾各界的批评。也有不少网友在网上留言，对大陆专家来台表示感谢，希望“团团”的病情能够改善。Tumor英  [ˈtjuːmə(r)]  美  [ˈtuːmər]n. 肿瘤Epilepsy英  [ˈepɪlepsi]  n. 癫痫Malignant 英  [məˈlɪɡnənt]  美  [məˈlɪɡnənt]Adj.恶性的

Have you ever wondered whypeople get shorter as they get older? Why do some people lose so much height asthey get older? How to prevent height loss? Let’s see what the experts say.你有没有想过，为什么人老了会变矮？为什么有些人老了以后身高缩水那么多？怎样才能预防身高缩水？来看看专家怎么说。Once you become an adult,you typically reach your full height. But your height can change with age, andit’s no myth — you shrink with time.人在成年之时，通常身高会达到顶点。但是你的身高会随着年龄而改变，年纪大了就会变矮，这并不是什么秘密。People usually lose abouta centimeter in height every 10 years after age 40, according to Medline Plus,and that pace of height loss speeds up after age 70. Overall, you can losebetween 1 to 3 inches in height as you age, per Medline Plus.医学网站Medline Plus称，在40岁后每过十年人的身高通常会缩水1厘米左右，70岁后身高缩水速度会加快。总体来看，人在年老后身高会缩水1到3英寸（2.5到7.6厘米）。While age-related heightloss is normal, there are times when it's a sign of an underlying healthcondition.尽管人老了变矮是正常现象，但是有时候也预示着潜在的健康问题。Why do you get shorter as you age?为什么人老了会变矮？On a macro level, you getshorter as you age due to changes in the bones, muscles and joints. “There area few different things going on here,” Dr. Angela Catic, a geriatrician andassociate professor in the Huffington Center on Aging at Baylor College ofMedicine, tells Yahoo Life. One, she says, is that the discs between thevertebrae in your spine lose fluid as you get older. “They become dehydratedand, with that, they lose height — and you lose a bit of height,” she says.从宏观层面来看，人在衰老时会因为骨骼、肌肉和关节的变化而变矮。美国贝勒医学院赫芬顿衰老研究中心的老年病学专家、副教授安吉拉·卡蒂克博士告诉雅虎生活频道：“有几种不同情况。”一种情况是，年纪大了以后，脊柱椎间盘所含的液体会减少。她指出：“脊柱椎间盘脱水后会变短，从而让你变矮。”Abdominal muscles alsotend to weaken over time, which can create a stooped posture, causing you toappear shorter, Catic says.卡蒂克说，另一种情况是，腹部肌肉随着时间流逝会衰弱，从而会导致驼背，让你看起来更矮。In women, menopause can speed up bone loss “due to theloss of the protective effects of estrogen on bones,” Dr. Arashdeep Litt, aninternal medicine physician with Spectrum Health, tells Yahoo Life. That, too,can cause you to get shorter.健康机构Spectrum Health的内科医生艾拉什迪普·利特博士告诉雅虎生活频道，女性绝经会加速骨质流失，因为“雌性激素对骨骼的保护作用减弱了”，这也会令其变矮。But height loss can alsobe due to osteoporosis, a bone disease that develops when bone mineral densityand bone mass decreases, or when the quality or structure of bone changes, Littsays. That can decrease your bone strength and increase your risk of fractures,according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).但是利特指出，变矮也可能是由骨质疏松导致的，骨质疏松指的是骨密度和骨量下降，或骨骼质量或结构发生改变。美国国立卫生研究院称，这会降低骨骼强度，增加骨折风险。How to tell the difference between normal height lossand signs of osteoporosis如何区分正常的身高缩水和骨质疏松症？So, how can you know what’sbehind your shrinking size? Your doctor will suspect osteoporosis if you havean overall height loss of 1.5 inches or more, Litt says. “This much height lossis a sign of osteoporosis and warrants a bone density test,” she says.那么，怎么知道是什么原因导致自己变矮的呢？利特说，如果你身高缩水总量超过1.5英寸（3.8厘米），你的医生就会怀疑你得了骨质疏松症。她指出：“身高缩水这么多是骨质疏松的迹象，需要进行骨密度测试。”The test can tell howstrong your bones are and will determine if you have osteoporosis, as well as your risk of fractures in thefuture.这种测试可以测出你的骨强度，并确定你是否有骨质疏松症，以及未来发生骨折的风险。How to prevent height loss如何预防身高缩水Again, some height loss isnormal. But Catic says you can lower your risk of height loss by doing thefollowing:年纪大了变矮一些是正常的。但是卡蒂克指出，你可以通过做以下几件事来降低身高缩水风险：Exercise regularly.定期锻炼Lift weights (this, alongwith regular exercise, stresses your bones and makes them stronger).举重（举重和定期锻炼都能强健骨骼）Eat a diet rich in calciumand vitamin D to support bone health.摄入有助于骨骼健康的富含钙和维生素D的膳食Avoid smoking, excessivealcohol use and excessive caffeine intake —all of which are risk factors for osteoporosis.避免吸烟、酗酒和过量摄入咖啡因，这些都是导致骨质疏松的风险因素英文来源：雅虎新闻翻译&编辑：丹妮Intake英[ˈɪnteɪk]；美[ˈɪnteɪk]n. 食物、饮料等的）摄取量，吸入量osteoporosis英[ˌɒstiəʊpəˈrəʊsɪs]；美[ˌɑːstioʊpəˈroʊsɪs]n.

英语新闻｜台北故宫2年摔碎3件文物，两岸网友都怒了Chinese Nationalist Party Legislator Charles Chen claimed that staff at theNational Palace Museum in Taipei dropped and broke two ceramic items, while related information was concealed. Confirming that three items in its archive had been damaged, the TaipeiPalace Museum said they did not intentionally conceal it and theinvestigation is ongoing.10月28日，中国国民党籍民意代表陈以信称，台北故宫博物院工作人员损坏了两件瓷器文物，相关信息遭隐瞒。院方同日证实，确有三件文物破损，但称绝无隐瞒意图，相关调查正在进行。In a statement, the museum wrote that on Feb 3, 2021and April 7, 2022, while staff members were organizing artifacts, theydiscovered upon opening packages that a Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) "yellowteacup with two green dragons" and a Qing Dynasty (1636–1911) "yellowteacup with dragon pattern" were damaged. Additionally, on May 19, 2022,due to staff mishandling, a Qing Dynasty "blue-and-white floralplate" fell and broke.台北故宫博物院28日下午在社交媒体刊出声明称，器物处瓷器科人员整理文物时，2021年2月3日、2022年4月7日打开文物包裹后发现“明弘治款 娇黄绿彩双龙小碗”（左上）“清康熙款 暗龙白里小黄瓷碗”（下）破损；2022年5月19日整理文物时，由于人员在作业过程中疏忽，致“清乾隆 青花花卉盘”（右上）掉落破损。The negligence leading to the damage of artifacts at the museum wasimmediately condemned by a large number of netizens. People on both sides of the Straits have not only greatly deplored thedamage of the cultural relics, but also have doubts over the attitude, abilityand motivation of the incumbent management of the Taipei Palace Museumregarding the protection of nearly 700,000 cultural relics housed there. 网络上有关台北故宫博物院文物破损的帖文随即遭到大批网友谴责。两岸人民不仅对文物受到的破坏深感痛心，而且对台北故宫博物院现任管理人员保护近70万件文物的态度、能力和动机表示怀疑。Regarding the damaged artifacts,the museum wrote that the Ming dynasty “yellow teacup with two green dragons”is being repaired. The Qing dynasty “yellow teacup with dragon pattern” isawaiting repairs, while the Qing dynasty “blue-and-white floral plate” will berepaired after penalties are issued.台北故宫博物院28日表示，破损瓷器目前第一件“明弘治款 娇黄绿彩双龙小碗”正在修复中，第二件“清康熙款 暗龙白里小黄瓷碗”待修复人员处理，第三件“清乾隆 青花花卉盘”待惩处程序完成，责任厘清后才会进入修复程序。Many people are wondering if the public hadn'texposed the incident, would it have been covered up by the Taipei Palace Museumforever? In places in the museum where the public has not paid attention to,are there more valuable artifacts that have been damaged but coveredup?  不少人关心，如果公众没有曝光文物受损情况，台北故宫博物院会永远掩盖事实吗？在博物馆中公众没有注意到的地方，是否有更多的珍贵文物被损坏，但隐瞒了情况?The museum's curator Wu Mi-cha said the threebroken artifacts were not insured, so the liability for compensation is stillto be confirmed. He also claimed that the three broken artifacts had never beenput on display and only the three artifacts were damaged in his term ofoffice.台北故宫博物院院长吴密察28日表示，被损坏的文物因未买保险，赔偿责任还待确认，并称“在我的任期内，只有这唯三的文物毁损，而这三件文物也未曾对外展出过。”Three artifacts were damaged in only two years, many people doubt thereasons behind. Global Times commented that it'sknown to all that the collections in the Taipei Palace Museum areextraordinary. They are cultural treasures belonging to the entire Chinesenation as well as testimony and inheritance of China's long history andsplendid culture. They are of more special and richer historical, culturaland ethnic value as they went through China's war of resistance againstJapanese aggression and the Chinese civil war and have become the cultural linkand historical bonds that cannot be cut off between the Taiwan island and theChinese mainland. 两年内三件文物被损坏，不少网友疑惑，到底是因为什么才导致这样的事情发生？环球时报评论称，台北故宫博物院的藏品非同一般，它是属于全体中华民族的文化瑰宝，是中国悠久历史和灿烂文化的见证与传承，更因为经历了抗战时期的颠沛流离、内战的分离苦痛，从而承载着更特殊、更丰富的历史文化和民族意义，成为两岸切不断的文化血脉和历史纽带。However, the current management staff of the TaipeiPalace Museum have spent more efforts in downplaying and avoiding these aspectsthan they have invested in the protection and management of the preciouscultural relics. Taking the precious cultural relics of the TaipeiNational Palace Museum as political resources, the political manipulations erodedthe due respect to the relics and damaged the professional ability in theprotection and management of cultural relics, which led to the damage happened oneafter another.然而，如今的台北故宫博物院管理层在淡化、回避这些方面花费的心思，要大于他们在文物保护和管理方面投入的精力。一系列政治性的操弄将台北故宫的珍贵文物当成利用的政治资源，消磨和损害了台北故宫在文物保护和管理上的专业能力和敬畏之心，这才导致珍贵文物破损的事情接连发生。ceramic英[səˈræmɪk]  美[səˈræmɪk]adj. 陶瓷的relics英[ˈrelɪks]  美[ˈrelɪks]n. 遗迹curator英[kjʊəˈreɪtə(r)]  美[ˈkjʊreɪtər]n. （博物馆）馆长

英语新闻｜通胀率再创新高，欧盟经济前景惨淡Inflation in the 19-member eurozone hit a record 10.7 percent in October, dampening the economic growth prospects amongnations that serve as the engine room of the European Union.10月，欧元区19个成员国的通货膨胀率达到10.7%，再创历史新高，削弱了作为欧盟引擎的多个国家的经济增长前景。The figure is higher than the 9.9 percent recorded in September, accordingto a preliminary report on Monday by Eurostat, the EU’s statistics agency.欧盟统计局（Eurostat）10月31日公布的初步数据显示，欧元区国家10月份的通货膨胀率较9月份（9.9%）上涨了0.8个百分点。Eurostat attributed the main components of the grim report to energyprices, which jumped 41.9 percent from the previous year, following a 40.7percent rise in September. Food, alcohol and tobacco rose 13.1 percent whilenon-energy industrial goods increased 6 percent and services moved up 4.4percent.总体来看，能源价格上涨仍旧是导致通胀率再创纪录的最主要原因。数据显示，继9月同比上涨 40.7% 之后，10月欧元区的能源价格同比上涨 41.9%。此外，食品和烟酒价格上涨13.1%，非能源类工业产品价格上涨6.0%，服务价格上涨4.4%。The three Baltic states are among those nations hardest hit, with inflationremaining above 20 percent, topped by Estonia with a jump of 22.4 percent.波罗的海国家（爱沙尼亚、立陶宛和拉脱维亚）仍是受能源市场波动最严重的国家，通货膨胀率均保持在20% 以上，其中爱沙尼亚以22.4%高居欧元区国家之首。In Belgium, the annual inflation rate rose to 12.27 percent in October, thehighest since June 1975, and many economists see no signs of an easing untilthe start of next year.比利时10月份的年通胀率升至 12.27%，为自1975年 6月以来的最高水平，许多经济学家认为直到明年年初通胀才有放缓的迹象。Eurostat on Monday also announced its estimates of GDP growth. The agencyexpects expansion of just 0.2 percent in both the eurozone and the 27-member EUin the third quarter of this year from the previous quarter.10月31日，欧盟统计局还公布了对 GDP增长的估计。该机构预计，今年第三季度欧元区和欧盟 27个成员国的经济增长率仅比上一季度增长 0.2%。Extended slowdown经济增长持续放缓The report was released just days after the European Central Bank, whosetarget is to keep inflation under 2 percent, hiked interest rates by 0.75percentage point last Thursday. The ECB also promised further rises andforecast an extended economic slowdown in the eurozone.       10月27日，欧洲中央银行宣布将欧元区三大关键利率均上调75个基点，预计未来将进一步加息，以确保通胀率及时恢复到2%的中期通胀目标。“Inflation remains far too high and will stay above the target for anextended period,” the bank said in a statement.目前欧元区通胀率仍然过高，并将在较长时间内保持在目标值之上。“In recent months, soaring energy and food prices, supply bottlenecks and the post-pandemic recovery indemand have led to a broadening of price pressures and an increase ininflation.”近几个月来，能源和食品价格飙升、供应瓶颈以及新冠疫情后的需求复苏导致欧元区价格压力扩大和通货膨胀加剧。ECB President Christine Lagarde warned that eurozone economic activitylikely “slowed significantly in the third quarter of the year and we expect afurther weakening in the remainder of this year and beginning of next year”.欧洲央行行长拉加德表示，欧元区陷入衰退的可能性加剧。欧元区经济活动可能“在今年第三季度显着放缓，预计今年剩余时间和明年年初将进一步走弱”。Many experts expect the eurozone — which comprises nations that use theeuro — to go into recession over the winter. An ECB survey last week showedthat participants forecast growth to be negative between the third quarter ofthis year and the first quarter of next year.许多专家预计，欧元区（使用欧元的国家）将在冬季陷入衰退。欧洲央行上周的一项调查显示，成员国今年第三季度到明年第一季度之间的经济预期增长将是负数。In its latest World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund estimatesthat the eurozone will grow by 3.1 percent in 2022 but only 0.5 percent in2023, when major economies Germany and Italy are expected to post negativegrowth.国际货币基金组织（IMF）在其最新的展望中估计，欧元区GDP在2022年将增长3.1%，但在2023年仅增长0.5%，主要经济体德国和意大利预计将出现负增长。“There are first signs of stagflation to be seen,” ECB Governing Council member Olli Rehn, who also heads the Bank ofFinland, told Finnish media on Monday. Europe experienced its last bout ofstagflation, a prolonged period of slow growth and high inflation, in the1970s.“存在滞胀的初步迹象，”欧洲央行管理委员会成员、芬兰央行行长奥利雷恩周一对芬兰媒体表示。欧洲在1970年代经历了上一次滞胀，即长期缓慢增长和高通胀。“Inflation still rising due to the fact that monetary policy is actuallystill expansionary (real estate is very negative) and recession hasn’t hit ashard yet,” Vania Stavrakeva, an assistant professor of economics at the LondonSchool of Economics, said in a tweet on Monday.伦敦经济学院经济学助理教授瓦尼亚·斯塔夫拉克瓦（Vania Stavrakeva）在周一的推文中表示：“由于货币政策实际上仍然是扩张性的（实际利率非常不乐观），而且经济衰退还没有那么严重，因此通货膨胀仍在上升。”Also on Monday, Robin Brooks, chief economist at the Institute ofInternational Finance, said in a tweet: “The ECB is a central bank where thehawks don‘t act like hawks and the doves aren’t doves.”同样在周一，国际金融研究所首席经济学家罗宾·布鲁克斯在推文中表示：“欧洲央行是一个鹰派不像鹰派，鸽派也不是鸽派的央行。”He said the doves are not pushing back harder against rate hikes becausethey know they need ECB support for their bond markets, so they better notcomplain too loudly.    他表示，鸽派并没有更加强烈地反对加息，因为他们知道他们需要欧洲央行对其债券市场的支持，所以他们最好不要大声抱怨。记者：陈卫华Stagflation 英[stæɡˈfleɪʃn]；美[stæɡˈfleɪʃn]n. 滞胀（高通胀与低就业率或经济低迷并存）Dampen英[ˈdæmpən]；美[ˈdæmpən]v. 抑制，控制，减弱Bottleneck 英[ˈbɒtlnek]；美[ˈbɑːtlnek]n. 瓶颈，阻碍，障碍

A Long March-5BY4 carrier rocket blasted off from a launchpad at the Wenchang spaceport inSouth China's Hainan province on Monday carrying a second lab module for China'sspace station. When in place, the Mengtian lab module will complete the space station's basic T-shapedstructure, which means that the space station will be able to perform all itsdesignated functions.周一，一枚长征五号B遥四运载火箭从海南文昌航天发射场点火发射，此火箭运载着中国空间站的第二个实验舱——梦天实验舱。梦天实验舱会使中国空间站形成“T”字构型，这意味着空间站将能够执行所有指定的功能。Mengtian is the second labmodule for the space station. The first is the Wentian module which is alreadydocked with the Tianhe core module.梦天实验舱是中国空间站的第二个实验舱。第一个是已经与天和核心舱完成对接的问天实验舱。While Wentian is to be usedfor biological and space life science projects, such as observing the growth ofmultiple kinds of plants, animals and microbes in space, Mengtian will be usedfor in-orbit experiments dedicated to physics and material sciences and willfocus on micro-gravity experiments.“问天”将用于生物和太空生命科学项目研究，如观察多种植物、动物和微生物在太空中的生长；“梦天”则将用于物理和材料科学的在轨实验，尤其是微重力实验。As well as being a lab module,Mengtian will also act as a backup for the core module when it is undergoing maintenance. And with Mengtian inplace, the space station will be able to host more astronauts. There are threeastronauts on board the space station at the moment. When Shenzhou XV arriveswith a change of crew, scheduled for early December, there will be six Chineseastronauts living on the space station for a time until the return of the ShenzhouXIV mission crew members.除了作为实验舱，“梦天”还将在核心舱进行维护时充当备用舱。有了“梦天”，空间站将能够容纳更多的宇航员。目前空间站中有三名宇航员。当12月初神舟十五号抵达时，宇航员将会在太空交接，届时六名中国宇航员将在空间站上共同生活一段时间，直到神舟十四号宇航员返回地球。China's space station will bethe only one in space in 2024, if an agreement can't be reached on extendingthe life of the International Space Station. The ISS was due to bedecommissioned in 2031, but that might not be feasible since it requires thecooperation of the United States and the European Union with Russia.如果各国不能就延长国际空间站寿命达成协议，中国空间站将成为2024年唯一仍在太空的空间站。国际空间站原定于2031年退役，但由于需要美国和欧盟与俄罗斯的合作，这可能无法实现。That the ISS is even stilloperational at this point is a testament to its design and engineering. Likethe ISS, China's space station will have to withstand tremendous stresses andstrain. While the power, environmental control and life support, and communicationssystems are all repairable or replaceable in orbit, the operational lifetime ofthe spacecraft is limited by the integrity of the primary structure. This hasto bear the strain of repeated vehicle dockings and undockings, and the stresseffects of daily temperature swings of about 278 degrees Celsius in eitherdirection.国际空间站目前仍在运行，这证明了它的设计和建造之精密。和国际空间站一样，中国空间站也会面临巨大的压力。虽然电力、环境控制和生命支持以及通信，在轨道上都是可修复或可更换的，但航天器的技术寿命受到主要结构的限制。它必须反复承受对接和分离的压力，以及因每天大约278摄氏度左右温度上下波动所带来的压力影响。Mengtian means "dreamingof heaven" in Chinese. And China's space station will not only carry thenation's dream of exploring space, but also that of humankind as a whole whenthe ISS meets its fiery fate.“梦天”在汉语中的意思是“梦见天空”。中国的空间站不仅承载着中国探索太空的梦想，也将在国际空间站退役后承载整个人类的梦想。China views learning moreabout the vast cosmos as a common dream of humankind, and researchers fromother countries already have access to China's orbiting laboratory. China hasselected nine initial international experiments for the space station through acollaborative project with the United Nations, and more are to follow. It isalso anticipated that the space station will host astronauts of variousnationalities during its lifetime as China is encouraging international spaceexchanges and cooperation to help protect the Earth, improve people'swell-being and serve human progress.中国将更多地了解浩瀚的宇宙视为人类的共同梦想，其他国家的研究人员也已可以进入中国的轨道实验室。中国通过与联合国的合作项目，选择在空间站初步进行九项国际实验，后续还将进行更多实验。此外，因中国鼓励国际空间交流与合作，以保护地球、改善人民福祉并为人类进步服务，预计空间站在役期间将接待各国宇航员。module英[ˈmɒdjuːl]；美[ˈmɑːdʒuːl]n. （宇宙飞船上各个独立的）舱backup英[ˈbækʌp]；美[ˈbækʌp]n. 备份fiery英[ˈfaɪəri]；美[ˈfaɪəri]adj. 火热的，激烈的

The State Council, China's Cabinet,rolled out a major regulation on Tuesday to promote the country's 111 millionself-employed businesses, which industry experts said will greatly boostconfidence and resilience among private smaller businesses over the long term.国务院日前发布《促进个体工商户发展条例》，惠及1.11亿户个体工商户，业内专家称从长远来看该条例将大大增强个体工商户的信心和韧性。According to the regulation that willtake effect on next Tuesday, greater supportive policies, including ontaxation, finance, employment, digital development and intellectual propertyprotection, will be provided to self-employed households.拟从11月1日起施行的这一条例指出，将为个体工商户提供包括财税、金融、就业、数字化发展和知识产权保护在内的全方位支持政策。The regulation also emphasizes therole of self-employed households in driving the market and economy, andstressed that China will unswervingly encourage, support and guide the development of suchbusinesses.条例还指出了个体工商户对于推动市场和经济的重要作用，并强调国家将坚定不移地鼓励、支持和引导个体经济发展。"The new regulation has moredetailed and targeted supportive policies, which is of significance inpromoting the development of self-employed households," said Li Zhiqi,vice-chairman of the Beijing Federation of Industry and Commerce.北京市工商联副主席李志起认为，条例中细节上有许多精心设计，体现出对个体工商户的精准支持，对于促进个体工商户的发展具有重大意义。For instance, the regulationencourages financial institutions to offer financial products and servicestargeting self-employed households, as well as larger scale coverage of loans,which will help relieve financing difficulties among these individualhouseholds, Li said.李志起指出，举例而言，条例鼓励金融机构提供适合个体工商户发展特点的金融产品和服务，扩大个体工商户贷款规模和覆盖面，这将有助于缓解个体工商户融资难。"Such efforts will offer timelysupport, as self-employed households, which rely on their own means to surviveand develop in niche markets, are relatively weak in resisting external risks,especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic," he added.李志起称，由于个体工商户往往是以“一己之力”在缝隙市场中求生存和发展，其实力有限、抗风险能力较弱，尤其是在疫情反复影响下需要及时给予帮扶。The latest data from the StateAdministration for Market Regulation showed that more than 111 millionself-employed households were registered nationwide as of the end of September,accounting for two-thirds of the country's total number of market players. Theyalso were responsible for about 300 million jobs.国家市场监督管理总局的最新数据显示，截至9月底，全国登记在册的个体工商户超1.11亿户，占市场主体总量的2/3，带动就业近3亿人。A survey provided by the administrationshowed that since the beginning of this year, nearly 80 percent of individualhouseholds brought in an average monthly operating income of less than 10,000yuan ($1,389), which can only support basic living standards.据国家市场监督管理总局的一项调查，今年以来，近80%的个体工商户平均月营业收入不足1万元，仅能维持基本生活。Over the past few years, thegovernment has launched a package of policies to support the development ofself-employed households. The SAMR rolled out two specialized platforms toimprove services for such groups.过去几年来，政府已经出台了一揽子政策来支持个体工商户发展。国家市场监督管理总局还为个体工商户推出了两个专业服务平台。编辑：丹妮英文来源：中国日报resilience英[rɪˈzɪliəns]；美[rɪˈzɪliəns]n. 快速恢复的能力unswervingly英[ˌʌn'swɜ:vɪŋlɪ]；美[ˌʌn'swɜvɪŋlɪ]adv. 坚持不懈地external英[ɪkˈstɜːnl]；美[ɪkˈstɜːrnl]adj. 外部的

英语新闻｜马斯克抱个“水槽”走进推特总部，是什么意思？Elon Musk has completed his $44 billion deal to buyTwitter, a source familiar with the deal told CNN, putting the world’s richestman in charge of one of the world’s most influential social media platforms.据美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）援引消息人士称，埃隆·马斯克已完成了440亿美元收购Twitter的交易，让这位世界首富掌管着世界上最具影响力的社交媒体平台之一。Musk fired CEO Parag Agrawal and two otherexecutives, according to two people familiar with the decision. Twitterdeclined to comment.据报道，两名匿名知情人士透露，推特首席执行官Parag Agrawal、首席财务官Ned Segal已被马斯克解雇。Twitter拒绝置评。Elon Musk walked into the headquarters and changed hisprofile descriptor on the platform he now owns to “Chief Twit.” 据外媒报道，埃隆·马斯克当地时间26日走进了推特公司的旧金山总部，他还将自己在推特账号的公开自我介绍改为“推特老板”（ChiefTwit）。Elon Musk posted the video of him walking into Twitter's headquarters onWednesday carrying a kitchen sink, and tweeted the message “Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in!”26日，马斯克在推特上公布了一段自己抱着一个洗手水槽进入推特总部的视频，并配文“走进推特总部。好好想想这件事（let that sink in）”。"Let that sink in" is an idiom used immediatelyafter a statement to urge that it be properly considered so that it can befully understood and appreciated.Let that sink in通常用在提议之后，意思是确保其得到充分考量和完全领会。"Sink," as a verb, means to fall or descend. The process bywhich an idea is slowly accepted and understood, is just like an object sinksslowly into water.“Sink”作为动词，是下沉的意思，想法被慢慢接受和理解的过程就像物体在水中慢慢下沉。Metaphorically, it’s referring to a buoyant object that sinks in water. It may take a while before the objectsinks, but it will ultimately sink in the water. When the expression “letthat sink in” is used, it’s like asking someone to let the information “sinkin” or give it some time for the information to “be contemplated”.这句话比喻漂浮的物体沉入水中。物体下沉可能需要一段时间，但最终完全浸入水中。“let that sink in”就像要求某人让信息“融入”，或者给一些时间“思考”。While his tweet garnered plenty of attention on social media, ElonMusk's takeover, along with the removal of several seniorexecutives, raised concerns about the future of social media and the society itaffects.虽然这一推文在社交媒体上赚足了眼球，但马斯克的收购，以及多名高管被开除，让人们不禁对社交媒体未来以及受其影响的整个社会感到担忧。Musk has said he plans to rethink Twitter’s contentmoderation policies in service of a more maximalist approach to “freespeech.” The billionaire has also said he disagrees with Twitter’s practice ofpermanent bans for those who repeatedly violate its rules, raising thepossibility that a number of previously banned users could reemerge on theplatform.据CNN报道，马斯克还表示要重新考虑推特的内容审核机制，以支持一种更加高纲领的“言论自由”方式。这位亿万富翁还表示，他不同意推特对那些屡次违反规则的用户实施永久性封禁的做法，这增加了那些以前被封禁的用户重返推特的可能性。buoyant英[ˈbɔɪənt]  美[ˈbɔɪənt]adj.有浮力的takeover英[ˈteɪkəʊvə(r)]  美[ˈteɪkoʊvər]n.收购maximalist 英[ˈmæksɪməlɪst]  美[ˈmæksɪməlɪst]n.最高纲领主义者

He urged the whole Party to stay firm in the right political direction, resolutely adhere to the theories, principles and strategies of the Party, resolutely implement the policies and decisions of the CPC Central Committee and continue to advance the great cause opened up by the older generation of revolutionaries.习近平指出，坚定正确的政治方向是延安精神的精髓。全党同志要坚持正确政治方向，坚决贯彻党的基本理论、基本路线、基本方略，坚决落实党中央决策部署，把老一辈革命家开创的伟大事业继续推向前进。It was in Yan’an that the Party made“serving the people wholeheartedly” its fundamental purpose and incorporated it into the Party Constitution, Xi said.习近平指出，延安时期，党提出全心全意为人民服务的根本宗旨并写入党章。The whole Party should fulfill the CPC’s fundamental purpose and maintain close bonds with the people, uphold the people-centered development philosophy, make real efforts to promote common prosperity and enable more achievements of the nation’s modernization drive to benefit all the people in a much fairer manner, he said.习近平强调，全党同志要站稳人民立场，践行党的宗旨，贯彻党的群众路线，保持党同人民群众的血肉联系，自觉把以人民为中心的发展思想贯穿到各项工作之中，扎实推进共同富裕，让现代化建设成果更多更公平惠及全体人民。Xi called for carrying on the traditionof self-reliance and hard work, being courageous to advance self-reform, andfirmly exercising rigorous governance over the Party in order to ensure that the CPC will always be the strong leadership core of socialism with Chinesecharacteristics.习近平强调，全党同志要大力弘扬自力更生、艰苦奋斗精神，勇于推进党的自我革命，坚定不移推进全面从严治党始终保持党的先进性和纯洁性，确保党始终成为中国特色社会主义事业的坚强领导核心。He also urged the entire Party to carry forward the spirit of struggle and resolutely overcome difficulties and challenges.习近平强调，全党同志要发扬斗争精神、提高斗争本领，坚决战胜前进道路上的各种困难和挑战。记者：曹德胜    Shrine        英 [ʃraɪn] ；美 [ʃraɪn]       n. 圣地；具有重要意义的地方       Cradle        英 [ˈkreɪd(ə)l] ；美 [ˈkreɪd(ə)l]       n. 摇篮；策源地，发源地       Emancipate        英 [ɪˈmænsɪpeɪt]；美 [ɪˈmænsɪpeɪt]       v. 解放；使不受（法律、政治或社会的）束缚

英语新闻｜达尔文《物种起源》手稿将被拍卖An "extremely rare" manuscript signed by English naturalist Charles Darwin is expected to fetch up to $790,000 at a Sotheby's auction next month.一份由英国博物学家达尔文签名的“极为罕见”的手稿，预计将在下个月苏富比拍卖会上拍得79万美元。The document contains a passage from the famous 1859 work On the Origin of Species, in which Darwin put forth his theory of evolution by natural selection.该手稿包含1859年《物种起源》中的一段，达尔文在这部巨著中提出了生物进化的自然选择学说。The document was once thought to be a discarded page from an earlier manuscript of the work. But experts now understand the manuscript was written in 1865 and sent to Hermann Kindt, the editor of the Autographic Mirror who had requested a signed writing sample from Darwin.这份文稿曾经被认为是《物种起源》早期手稿中被丢弃的一页。但专家们现在了解到，这份手稿写于1865年，《自动镜像》编辑赫尔曼·金特要求他提供一份签名的样本，因此达尔文写后寄给金特。"While some of Darwin's notes and manuscript leaves have survived over the last hundred or more years, he was known to obsessively revise his publications, often discarding pages from working drafts and treating them as scrap paper, making any autograph manuscript extremely rare," Sotheby's said in a statement.苏富比在一份声明中说：“尽管达尔文的一些笔记和手稿已经保存了一百多年，但众所周知，他痴迷于修改自己的出版物，经常丢弃工作草稿的纸张，把它们当成废纸，这使得达尔文亲笔签名的手稿极为罕见。”On the Origin of Species was voted the most influential academic book of all time in a public poll held during Academic Book Week in 2015, beating out other seminal works including The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, The Republic by Plato, and the complete works of William Shakespeare.2015年的“学术图书周”的公开投票中，《物种起源》被评为有史以来最具影响力的学术著作，击败了卡尔·马克思和弗里德里希·恩格斯的《共产党宣言》、柏拉图的《理想国》和威廉·莎士比亚全集。The book offers Darwin's revolutionary idea that species evolve incrementally over generations via the process of natural selection.在书中达尔文表达了自己革命性的观点，即物种通过自然选择的过程代代相继地进化。"I have now recapitulated the chief facts and considerations which have thoroughly convinced me that species have been modified, during a long course of descent, by the preservation or the natural selection of many successive slight favorable variations," the document reads.“我现在重述了主要事实和考虑，这些事实和考虑让我彻底相信，在漫长的进化过程中，通过许多连续的轻微有利变异的保存或自然选择，物种已经被改变，”该文件写道。Darwin backed up his theory with evidence collected during his 1831-1836 voyage on the HMS Beagle, during which he observed and collected specimens from a number of species. One major observation occurred on the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador. Darwin noted that the finches on the island were similar to finches on the mainland, however, the availability of different foods in each area had led to discrepancies in beak anatomy.        1831至1836年，达尔文在小猎犬号上航行时观察并收集了一些物种的标本，他用这些收集的证据支持他的理论。达尔文的重大发现产生于厄瓜多尔海岸外的加拉帕戈斯群岛。他指出，群岛上的地雀与大陆的地雀相似，但每个地区可获得的食物种类不同，导致喙的解剖结构产生差异。"I cannot believe that a false theory would explain, as it seems to me that the theory of natural selection does explain, the several large classes of facts above specified," the excerpt adds. "It is no valid objection that science as yet throws no light on the far higher problem of the essence or origin of life."“我不相信一个错误的理论会做出这样解释，正如我认为自然选择理论确实解释了上述几大类事实一样，”手稿片段显示，“科学还没有对更高层次的关于生命本质或起源的问题进行阐释，这不是有效的反对意见。”The manuscript will be placed on display at Sotheby's in New York between Nov 30 and Dec 8, and online bids will be accepted between Nov 25 and Dec 8. The auction house estimates that the document will fetch between $600,000 and $790,000.手稿将于11月30日至12月8日在纽约苏富比展出，11月25日至12月8日期间将接受网上竞价。拍卖行估计，这份文件的售价在60万美元到79万美元之间。The auction, which is titled Age of Wonder, will also include a first edition of On the Origin of Species and a copy of On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties, which is a scientific paper written by Darwin and Welsh naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace.这次拍卖会名为名为“奇迹时代”，还将包括第一版《物种起源》以及“物种形成品种的趋势”的复制品，后者是达尔文和威尔士博物学家阿尔弗雷德·拉塞尔·华莱士所写的一篇科学论文。incrementally英[ˌɪŋkrəˈmentəli]  美[ˌɪŋkrəˈmentəli]adv.递增地recapitulate 英[ˌriːkəˈpɪtʃuleɪt]  美[ˌriːkəˈpɪtʃuleɪt]v. 概括fetch英[fetʃ]  美[fetʃ]v.售得，卖得

英语新闻︱英国将迎来首位印度裔首相 The United Kingdom's former finance minister Rishi Sunak has won the race to replace Prime Minister Liz Truss on Monday.周一，英国前财政部长里希·苏纳克赢得了接任利兹·特拉斯总理之位的竞争。Sunak triumphed after fellow leadership hopeful Penny Mordaunt withdrew after failing to secure the backing of the 100 Conservative Party members of Parliament she needed to remain in the race. It was a benchmark she had to pass by 2 pm on Monday if she was to remain a contender.由于保守党领袖佩妮·莫道特因未能获得继续竞选所需的100名保守党议员的支持而退出选举，苏纳克成功当选。如果佩妮希望继续参选，她必须在周一下午2点前拿到这些选票。After being declared winner of the leadership battle, Sunak was set to address lawmakers in Parliament later on Monday for the first time as national leader.赢得领导权之争后，苏纳克定于周一晚些时候将以国家领导人的身份在议会发表讲话。Earlier, Sunak got a boost when former prime minister Boris Johnson withdrew from the battle, saying it was "simply not the right time "for him to seek reelection and urging his backers to get behind Sunak.早些时候，前首相鲍里斯·约翰逊退出竞选，他称现在不是寻求连任的“正确时机”，并敦促他的支持者拥护苏纳克。The Guardian newspaper said several high-profile Johnson supporters did just that, with former home secretary Priti Patel and Cabinet ministers James Cleverly and Nadhim Zahawi, throwing their weight behind Sunak, who went head-to-head with Truss in the previous leadership battle just weeks ago.《卫报》称，约翰逊的几位高调支持者就是这么做的。几周前，当苏纳克在领导权之争中与特拉斯正面交锋时，前内政大臣普里蒂·帕特尔和内阁部长詹姆斯·克莱弗利和纳迪姆·扎哈维都是苏纳克的支持者。Back then, despite Sunak being popular among lawmakers from the ruling Conservative Party, rank-and-file members ultimately chose Truss.虽然当时苏纳克在执政党保守党议员中很受欢迎，但普通议员最终还是选择了特拉斯。After 44 disastrous days in charge, Truss announced her resignation last week.在44天灾难般的执政之后，特拉斯于上周宣布辞职。Jeremy Hunt, who replaced controversial chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng days before Truss' resignation, wrote in the Daily Telegraph newspaper that the UK needs financial stability now, above all else.杰里米·亨特在特拉斯辞职前几天接替了备受争议的财政大臣夸西·科沃滕，他在《每日电讯报》上撰文道，英国现在最需要的是金融稳定。"To restore stability and confidence, we need a leader who can be trusted to make difficult choices," he wrote.

英语知识｜懒得去健身？朋友可以助你一臂之力！Research has found that working out with a friend is easier to stick to than working out alone, because it encourages each other and provides a constant boost from the encouragement of friends.研究发现，和朋友一起健身比自己一个人去健身更容易坚持下来，因为结伴健身可以互相督促，还可以从朋友的鼓励中获得源源不断的动力。Social interaction could be key to kick-starting a fitness regime, US research suggests.美国研究表明，社交对于快速启动你的健身计划十分关键。After analysing data, including from the US Military Academy, scientists at Kean University recommended social activities that boosted interactions between less- and more-active people.在分析了包括西点军校在内的多个机构的数据后，美国肯恩大学的科学家指出，社交活动可以增进不太活跃和比较活跃的人之间的互动。When the less active interacted with those who exercised regularly, they felt encouraged, the researchers found.研究人员发现，不太活跃的人和那些定期锻炼的人交流后会受到鼓舞。But those who were less social ended up exercising less.但是那些不太参加社交活动的人往往都不怎么锻炼。Regular exercise has already been cited as something that improves mental health significantly, with many finding group activity helpful.定期锻炼被认为能显著改善心理健康，而且很多人都认为集体活动有助于坚持锻炼。There are many ways to combine socialising and exercising, such as: walking with friends, playing five-a-side, taking a fitness class.有很多方式都能将社交和锻炼相结合，比如：和朋友一起散步，踢五人制足球，上健身课。Exercising with a friend requires commitment and accountability, Andre Bates, of Barry’s Bootcamp, which holds group exercise classes across the UK, says.健身房Barry's Bootcamp的安德烈·贝茨说，和朋友一起锻炼需要决心和责任心。该健身房在英国各地开办集体健身课程。“It’s very easy not to go and exercise when you're relying on yourself - but with a friend, you can use each other for motivation to make sure you stick at what you set out to do,” he says.他说：“如果你是独自健身，你爱去不去都行，但是和朋友一起的话，你们可以彼此互为动力，确保将计划坚持到底。”“You can make friends in a group exercise environment - and then if you’re not there for your usual 06:00 class on a Monday or Tuesday, they might ask, ‘Where are you?’ so there's that little bit of guilt that makes sure you’re there next time.”“你可以在集体健身环境中交友，如果你哪天（比如周一或周二）没有像往常一样去上6点的健身课，你的朋友可能会问你去哪了？这种小小的负罪感会让你下次一定去健身。”Andre says: “Rather than looking at someone as competition, look at them as a benchmark of what you want to be and don’t be afraid to ask them about it and see how they got there.安德烈说：“不要把健身同伴看成竞争对手，而要把他们看成你的奋斗目标，别害羞，问问他们是怎么做到的。”“We’re all pushing for the same purpose, whether it’s mental improvement, physical improvement, fitness or performance - everyone is here to improve.”“我们健身的目的都是一样的，无论是改善身心健康、增强体质还是提升表现，每个人来这里都是为了让自己变得更好。”Kai Hunter, 25, who lives in Cardiff, started exercising regularly six months ago - after finding motivation from his group of friends.住在加的夫的25岁的卡伊·亨特6个月前从他的那群朋友那里获得动力之后就开始定期锻炼。“Because I work from home, I didn't really get out much - so I started to put on weight and wanted to do something about it as it was affecting my confidence quite a lot,” he tells BBC News.他告诉BBC新闻网说：“因为我在家办公，基本没怎么出门，于是就变胖了，对此我想做点什么，因为现在的身材很影响我的自信心。”“I asked a few people in my social circle who were into fitness already how they had got into it - and asked for workout routines.”“我问了自己社交圈里喜欢健身的几个人是怎么坚持下来的，以及他们的日常锻炼内容。”Kai also gained a lot of motivation sharing progress with friends in a group chat.卡伊还通过和朋友在群聊里分享进展获得了很多动力。“All the people around me were always supporting me,” he says. “It was good to have that around me and to feel the results myself.”他说：“我周围的所有人都一直支持我，我自己也能体会到健身成效，这种感觉很好。”英文来源：BBC翻译&编辑：丹妮Accountability 英[əˌkaʊntəˈbɪləti]；美[əˌkaʊntəˈbɪləti]n. 责任心Benchmark 英[ˈbentʃmɑːk]；美 [ˈbentʃmɑːrk]n. 基准Kick-start英[ˈkɪk stɑːt]；美[ˈkɪk stɑːrt]v.促使…开始；使（项目）尽快启动

FDI in the Chinese mainland, in terms of actual use, grew 16.4 percent year-on-year to 892.7 billion yuan ($123.5 billion) in the first eight months of this year, according to the Ministry of Commerce.这种观点与近期的数据一致，中国吸引外国直接投资的势头强劲。商务部9月19日发布的数据显示，今年1至8月，全国实际使用外资金额8927.4亿元人民币，同比增长16.4%。Wu Dongming, CEO of DHL Express China, said that amid challenges and pressures, China's economic stability is the biggest contribution to the world economy and global supply chains.DHL快递中国区（即中外运-敦豪国际航空快件有限公司）首席执行官吴东明表示表示，在挑战和压力之下，中国经济的稳定是对世界经济和全球供应链的最大贡献。"Looking forward, China's focus on sustainable development will greatly benefit international trade," Wu said, adding that the company tested its first pilot hydrogen fuel cell truck in Shanghai last month, as part of the German logistics firm's broader push to experiment with the latest green technology and boost investment in the country.“展望未来，中国为可持续发展所做的努力将大大有利于国际贸易，”吴东明补充说，DHL快递上个月在上海测试了其首辆氢燃料电池货运卡车，这是这家德国物流公司为试验最新的绿色技术，并增加在中国的投资所做的努力之一。China's high-quality development agenda and its growing innovation prowess are also boosting business leaders' confidence, as these promise big potential for future growth.中国的高质量发展征程及其不断增强的创新能力也提升了商界领袖的信心，因为这些都预示着巨大的增长潜力。China has moved up to 11th place in the 2022 Global Innovation Index from 34th a decade ago, and remains the only middle-income economy in the top 30, according to the latest ranking published by the World Intellectual Property Organization in late September.世界知识产权组织9月下旬发布的最新排名显示，中国在全球创新指数中的排名由2012年的第34位上升到2022年的第11位，仍然是前30名中唯一一个中等收入经济体。Wang Lei, global executive vice-president of British pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, said he was encouraged by the report's emphasis that innovation will remain at the heart of China's modernization drive.英国制药公司阿斯利康全球执行副总裁王磊表示，二十大报告强调，创新仍将是中国现代化建设的核心，这令人感到鼓舞。"China's innovation-driven development strategy will create more opportunities for us, as the country has become a very important part

英语知识｜遗传因素只影响身高的40%Parents worried that they may pass on their short stature to their children can rest easy as a new study reveals nurture is more important than nature when it comes to a person’s height.担心自己的矮个子会遗传给孩子的父母可以放宽心了，因为新研究发现，对一个人的身高而言，营养比遗传更重要。A landmark piece of research has found that more than 12,000 genes are responsible for determining how tall a person becomes, but this hereditary aspect is just 40 percent of the picture.一项具有里程碑意义的研究发现，影响一个人身高的基因超过1.2万个，然而在决定身高上，遗传因素只占40%。The other 60 percent is caused by nurture-based traits like environment, upbringing and quality of life.另外60%取决于环境、养育和生活质量等后天特性。Analysis of more than 5.4 million people discovered the culpable chunks of DNA involved in height determination and found them to live in parts of the genome which are responsible for skeletal growth.这项研究在分析了逾540万人的资料后发现，决定身高的DNA片段存在于与骨骼生长有关的部分基因组中。"Our study identified 12,111 genetic markers – or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) – associated with height in more than five million individuals from participating studies,” study author Dr Eirini Marouli, associate professor in computational biology at Queen Mary University of London, told The Telegraph.该研究的作者、伦敦玛丽女王大学计算生物学副教授艾利尼·马柔里博士告诉《每日电讯报》：“我们的研究在500多万参与者中识别出了12111个与身高有关的基因标记（单核苷酸多态性）。”"These explain 40 percent of height variation in individuals of European ancestries and between 10-20 percent in non-European populations.”“这些基因标记解释了欧洲血统者身高差异的40%以及非欧洲血统者身高差异的10-20%。”But she added that genetics and its “complex manifestation” are just one part of the explanation.但是她也指出，基因与其“复杂表现”只能解释其中一部分。"Additional aspects could potentially include: advancement in healthcare, nutrition, lifestyle and environmental factors,” Dr Marouli said.马柔里博士称：“其他可能影响身高的方面包括：医疗进步、营养、生活方式和环境因素。”The study, published in Nature, also predicted how tall a person would become based on their genes alone and was found to be more accurate than the current method which estimates a child’s length by the height of their parents.这项发表在《自然》上的研究还单独根据基因预测了一个人的身高，并发现这一预测结果比根据父母身高预测孩子身高的现有方法更为准确。"Traditionally we use family history to predict a child’s height, but this isn’t a perfect method,” Dr Marouli explained.马柔里博士解释道：“传统上我们用家族史来预测孩子的身高，但这个方法并不理想。”"For example, it’s not very accurate in predicting height differences such as those amongst siblings.“例如，用这种方法来预测兄弟姐妹的身高差异就不是很准确。”"Using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), or markers of changes in our DNA, could have the potential to give a more accurate prediction.“通过观测单核苷酸多态性或基因标记的变化则可能会给出更准确的预测结果。”"This more accurate height prediction could be useful in healthcare. For example, if a child does not reach their predicted height, it could indicate that there might be an underlying condition that might be affecting growth, for example, related to hormonal deficiencies.“提高身高预测的准确性对于医疗保健很有用。举例而言，如果一个孩子没有达到预期身高，则可能意味着存在影响长高的潜在条件，比如激素缺乏。”"When we combined all the identified genetic variants together into our best polygenic score along with the parental height average that led to an accuracy of more than 54 percent.“如果我们把识别出的所有基因变量与最佳的多基因评分相结合，再综合考虑父母的平均身高，对孩子身高的预测准确度则可以提高到54%以上。”"Thus, having a prediction based on genetic changes could potentially provide more accuracy.”“因此，根据基因变量来做出的身高预测可能会更准确。”编辑：丹妮英文来源：每日电讯报hereditary英[həˈredɪtri]；美[həˈredɪteri]adj. 遗传的manifestation英[ˌmænɪfeˈsteɪʃn]；美[ˌmænɪfeˈsteɪʃn]n. 显示，表示deficiency英[dɪˈfɪʃnsi]；美[dɪˈfɪʃnsi]n. 缺乏

Xi Jinping has called on all Chinese people to stay united as "a piece of hard steel" under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and pull together in steering the nation toward its great rejuvenation.He made the remarks in a group discussion on Monday with delegates from the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region attending the 20th CPC National Congress. Xi, a member of the Guangxi delegation, was elected in April by unanimous vote at the region's Party congress.The delegates were discussing the report delivered by Xi on behalf of the 19th CPC Central Committee at the opening session of the congress on Sunday.During a lively discussion, in which five delegates from Guangxi shared their views on the report, Xi stressed that the report has charted the way forward for the cause of the Party and the State, and it serves as a political declaration and program of action for the CPC, the world's largest Marxist ruling party, to unite and lead the nation in upholding and furthering socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.The five delegates expressed unanimous endorsement of the report and agreed that, from a commanding height in considering both China's national rejuvenation and the drastic changes in the world unseen in a century, it scientifically lays out goals, tasks and major policies for developing the cause of the Party and the country in the next five years or an even longer period, putting forward a series of new approaches, strategies and measures.Xi highlighted the need to firmly bear in mind the mission of seeking national rejuvenation through a Chinese path to modernization.The past five years and the past decade have been truly momentous and extraordinary, with the CPC and the nation securing a host of breakthrough developments and landmark results after overcoming various challenges and obstacles, he said.This has fully vindicated the policies and work plans laid out by the CPC Central Committee and proved that socialism with Chinese characteristics is a path that suits China's reality, reflects the will of the Chinese people and is in keeping with the trends of times, he added.The path is not only correct and practicable but also promises stability and good prospects, he said.Xi called on CPC members to firm up their confidence in history, exhibit greater historical initiative, and perform their duties well for history and the people on the road ahead.He called for Party members to gain a faithful command of the key principles laid out in the report — putting the people first, maintaining self-confidence and self-reliance, upholding fundamental principles and breaking new ground, adopting a problem-oriented approach, applying systems thinking and maintaining a global vision.In his report on Sunday, Xi used a special chapter to map out a Chinese path to modernization, which he said is more characterized by features that are unique to the Chinese context.He said in the report that China has entered a period of development in which strategic opportunities, risks and challenges are concurrent and uncertainties and unforeseen factors are rising.He told the delegates on Monday that Chinese modernization is rooted in China and is suited to the country's realities.China should always base its national development objectives on its own strengths and gain a firm grasp over the future of its development and progress, he said.Xi mentioned the decadelong efforts led by the CPC Central Committee in exercising strict governance over the Party and launching an unprecedented fight against corruption, a campaign that saw 553 high-ranking officials being investigated.The CPC must make constant efforts in furthering its self-reform to ensure that the Party will never change its nature, its conviction, or its character and forever serve as the strong core of leadership in building socialism with Chinese characteristics, he said.Only unity can lead to victory, and working hard is the only pathway to success, Xi said, adding that the most important task right now is to work hard to ensure the solid implementation of major decisions and plans made during the 20th CPC National Congress.记者：徐伟autonomous英[ɔːˈtɒnəməs]；美[ɔːˈtɑːnəməs]adj. 自治的momentous英[məˈmentəs]；美[moʊˈmentəs]adj. 重大的implementation英[ˌɪmplɪmen'teɪʃn]；美[ˌɪmplɪmənˈteʃən]n. （新政策的）实施

The Communist Party of China has vowed to comprehensively advance national rejuvenation through a Chinese path to modernization, a central task the Party laid out for the next five years and beyond at the 20th CPC National Congress, which opened in Beijing on Sunday.While delivering a report at the opening session of the congress on behalf of the 19th CPC Central Committee, Xi Jinping stressed the need to coordinate development and security, and he highlighted safeguarding national security and social stability in the course of promoting sustained growth."From this day forward, the central task of the CPC will be to lead the Chinese people of all ethnic groups in a concerted effort to realize the Second Centenary Goal of building China into a great modern socialist country in all respects and to advance the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on all fronts through a Chinese path to modernization," Xi said.He said that the next five years will be crucial for getting the efforts to build a modern socialist country in all respects off to a good start.In a two-step development strategy, the CPC aims to basically realize socialist modernization by 2035, and then build China into a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious and beautiful by the middle of this century.Xi said that China aims to lead the world in composite national strength and international influence by the middle of this century. He set out the major principles in the nation's endeavor to build a modern socialist China in all respects."On the journey ahead, we must firmly adhere to the major principles of upholding and strengthening the Party's overall leadership, following the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, applying a people-centered development philosophy, remaining committed to deepening reform and opening-up, as well as carrying forward our fighting spirit," he said.Xi mentioned in the report a wide range of areas in which China will strive for further progress, including high-quality economic growth, balanced development, ecological conservation, people's well-being, strengthening the Party, law-based governance, high-level opening-up, independent technological innovation and diplomatic efforts to promote world peace and development.On the Taiwan question, which is considered as China's core interest, Xi reiterated striving for China's complete reunification in a peaceful way, but said "we will never promise to renounce the use of force". Resolving the Taiwan question and realizing China's complete reunification is, for the Party, a historic mission and an unshakable commitment, he said.In analyzing the environment for the country's development, Xi said that China has entered a period of development in which strategic opportunities, risks and challenges are concurrent and uncertainties and unforeseen factors are rising.Warning of various unpredictable dangerous events ("black swans") and foreseeable but unaddressed dangers ("gray rhinos") that may occur at any time, he urged Party members to be more mindful of potential dangers, be prepared to deal with worst-case scenarios, and be ready to "withstand high winds, choppy waters, and even dangerous storms".He urged the whole Party to meet obstacles and difficulties head on, ensure both development and security, and prepare well to surmount difficulties and challenges on the road ahead.The Party will take coordinated steps to ensure external and internal security, homeland and public security, traditional and nontraditional security, as well as its own security and common security with others, he said.Speaking of China's development in the new era since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, Xi said that the past decade marked three major events of profound historical significance for the cause of the Party and the people."We embraced the centenary of the Communist Party of China; we ushered in a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics; and we eradicated absolute poverty and finished building a moderately prosperous society in all respects," he said.China has seen a historic rise in its economic strength in the past decade. Its GDP has grown from 54 trillion yuan ($7.5 trillion) in 2012 to 114 trillion yuan in 2021, and the 2021 figure accounts for 18.5 percent of the world economy, up 7.2 percentage points from 2012, Xi said.The country continues to be the world's second-largest economy, ranks first in the world in terms of grain output, and its manufacturing sector is the largest in the world, as are its foreign exchange reserves, he said.Xi also talked about China's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including its pursuing of the dynamic zero-COVID policy. He said that "we have protected the people's health and safety to the greatest extent possible and made tremendously encouraging achievements in both epidemic response and economic and social development"."As we fully affirm the remarkable achieveme

英语新闻｜神舟十四号乘组首次太空授课Chinese astronauts conducted an open science lectureon Wednesday afternoon from the orbiting Tiangong space station for studentsaround the globe.10月12日下午，中国航天员在中国空间站为全球学生带来了一场科普公开课。At the beginning of the educational activity, livestreamed worldwide byChina Media Group, the astronauts of the Shenzhou XIV mission — Senior ColonelChen Dong, Senior Colonel Liu Yang and Senior Colonel Cai Xuzhe — showed theaudience the sleeping and living quarters and scientific apparatus inside theWentian lab module, which became part of the Tiangong station in July.中央广播电视总台面向全球对“天宫课堂”进行现场直播。课堂开始时，神舟十四号飞行乘组航天员陈冬、刘洋、蔡旭哲向观众们展示了问天实验舱内的睡眠区、生活区和科学仪器。问天实验舱于今年七月对接成为中国站“天宫”的组成部分。The astronauts then carried out some experiments to show unique physicalphenomena in microgravity inside the space station and explained thesephenomena. They also demonstrated sampling procedures on stalks of rice andthale cress, a small flowering plant of the mustard family, that grow inside ascientific cabinet.航天员们随后进行了一些实验，展示并解释了空间站内部微重力下独特的物理现象。航天员还介绍了在中国空间站开展的水稻和拟南芥种植研究情况，展示了手套箱剪株操作。During the 50-minute lecture, the crew members also answered questionsfrom students that ranged from how to become an astronaut to what kinds ofplants will be brought to space in future spaceflights.在约50分钟的授课中，宇航员们还回答了学生们提出的问题。例如，如何成为一名宇航员？未来哪种植物将被带上航天之旅？As many as dozens of millions of primary and middle school students acrossChina watched the televised event hosted by the China Manned Space Agency, theMinistry of Education and other government departments.全国各地数以千万计的中小学生观看了由中国载人航天局、教育部和其他政府部门主办的电视直播授课活动。Nearly 400 invited students in Beijing, Heze, Shandong province,Zhengzhou, Henan province, and Dali, Yunnan province, were present at"ground class venues", according to the space agency.据国家航天局介绍，来自北京、山东菏泽、河南郑州和云南大理的近400名受邀学生参加了“地面分课堂”。The activity marked the third lecture of the Tiangong Class series,China's first extraterrestrial lecture series that aims to popularize spacescience. It was also the first time that the Shenzhou XIV mission crew gave alecture.“天宫课堂”是中国的首个太空讲座系列，旨在普及空间科学。本次授课是“天宫课堂”的第三课，也是神舟十四号乘组首次太空授课。Chen Zheng, an associate professor at Beijing Jiaotong University's Schoolof Science who helped plan the Tiangong Class lectures, said physical experimentsare most suitable for space-based science lectures because they are safer andeasier to be done inside the spacecraft and the differences between thoseconducted in space and on Earth can be clearly and conveniently observed bystudents.北京交通大学物理科学与工程学院副教授陈征帮助策划了“天宫课堂”，他表示，物理实验最适合在太空科普课堂中进行，因为物理实验更安全，更容易在宇宙飞船内进行，而且学生可以清楚、方便地观察到在太空和地球上进行实验的区别。"By contrast, chemical or biological experiments are more prone tosafety concerns and usually need more time. Besides, they are usually more sophisticated,"he said.“相比之下，化学或生物实验更容易有安全隐患，通常需要更多时间也更为复杂。”他说。Gou Lijun, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences' NationalAstronomical Observatories and one of the Tiangong Class planners, explainedthat the major objective of the lectures was to show the audience the physicallaws in space and their differences from those on Earth.中国科学院国家天文台研究员、“天宫课堂”的策划者之一苟利军解释道，授课的主要目的是向观众展示太空中的物理定律，及其与地球物理定律的区别。

英语知识｜研究：吃超加工食品会导致认知能力下降Eating ultraprocessed foods for more than 20% of your dailycalorie intake every day could set you on the road to cognitive decline, a newstudy revealed.一项新研究发现，如果每日摄入的卡路里中超加工食品占比超过20%，就会导致你的认知能力下降。We all know eating ultraprocessed foods that make our liveseasier -- such as prepackaged soups, sauces, frozen pizza and ready-to-eatmeals -- isn't good for our health. Nor is gobbling up allthe pleasure foods that we love so much: hot dogs, sausages, burgers, frenchfries, sodas, cookies, cakes, candies, doughnuts and ice cream, to name just afew.我们都知道吃方便的超加工食品对身体没好处，比如即食汤、调味酱、冷冻披萨和熟食。那些我们很爱吃的带来快感的食品也不利于健康，比如热狗、香肠、汉堡、炸薯条、汽水、曲奇饼、蛋糕、糖果、甜甜圈、冰淇淋，这里就不一一列举了。Studies have found they can raise our risk of obesity, heart andcirculation problems, diabetes and cancer. They may even shorten our lives.研究发现，吃超加工食品会提高患肥胖、心脏和血液循环问题、糖尿病和癌症的风险，甚至可能缩短我们的寿命。Now, a new study has revealed eating more ultraprocessed foodsmay contribute to overall cognitive decline, including the areas of the braininvolved in executive functioning -- the ability to process information andmake decisions.如今，一项新研究揭示，吃更多超加工食品可能会导致认知能力全面下降，包括对负责执行功能（处理信息和做决定）的大脑区域造成负面影响。In fact, men and women who ate the most ultraprocessed foods hada 28% faster rate of global cognitive decline and a 25% faster rate ofexecutive function decline compared with people who ate the least amount ofoverly processed food, the study found.事实上，摄入最多超加工食品的男性和女性整体认知能力和执行功能的下降速度比摄入最少超加工食品的人分别快28%和25%。"While in need of further study and replication, the newresults are quite compelling and emphasize the critical role for propernutrition in preserving and promoting brain health and reducing risk for braindiseases as we get older," said Rudy Tanzi, professor of neurology atHarvard Medical School and director of the genetics and aging research unit atMassachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He was not involved in the study.没有参与该研究的哈佛医学院神经学教授、位于波士顿的麻省总医院遗传学和衰老研究中心主任鲁迪·坦齐称：“尽管还需要进一步研究和再试验，但是新研究结果相当有说服力，并且强调了适当的营养对于保持和增进大脑健康以及降低大脑老化疾病风险的关键作用。”Tanzi, who has written about ultraprocessed foods in his book"The Healing Self: A Revolutionary New Plan to Supercharge Your Immunityand Stay Well for Life," said the key problem with ultraprocessed foods isthat "they are usually very high in sugar, salt and fat, all of whichpromote systemic inflammation, perhaps the most major threat tohealthy aging in the body and brain.坦齐曾在他的著作《自我修复：快速增强免疫力和保持终身健康的革命性新计划》中写过超加工食品，并指出超加工食品的关键问题在于“它们通常糖、盐和脂肪含量都很高，所有这些都会加剧全身炎症，也许对于身体和大脑的健康老化是最大的威胁。”"Meanwhile, since they are convenient as a quick meal, theyalso replace eating food that is high in plant fiber that is important formaintaining the health and balance of the trillions of bacteria in your gutmicrobiome," he added, "which is particularly important for brainhealth and reducing risk of age-related brain diseases like Alzheimer'sdisease."他补充道：“与此同时，因为超加工食品都是很方便的快餐，所以取代了富含植物纤维的食物，后者对于保持肠道菌群中数万亿细菌的健康和平衡很重要，而这对于保持大脑健康和降低患阿尔茨海默症等与年龄相关的脑部疾病的风险尤为重要。”The study, presented on August 1 at the 2022 Alzheimer'sAssociation International Conference in San Diego, followed over 10,000Brazilians for up to 10 years. Just over half of the study participants werewomen, white or college educated, while the average age was 51.8月1日在圣地亚哥举行的2022老年痴呆症协会国际会议上展示的这一研究在十年间跟踪调查了1万多名巴西人。刚过半数的研究参与者为女性，这些女性是白人或接受过大学教育，平均年龄为51岁。Cognitive testing, which included immediate and delayed wordrecall, word recognition and verbal fluency were performed at the beginning andend of the study, and participants were asked about their diet.该研究在开头和结尾开展了认知测试，包括即时和延时词语回忆、词语识别和口头表达流利度，并询问了参与者的饮食习惯。"In Brazil, ultraprocessed foods make up 25% to 30% oftotal calorie intake. We have McDonald's, Burger King and we eat a lot ofchocolate and white bread. It's not very different, unfortunately, from manyother Western countries," said coauthor Dr. Claudia Suemoto, an assistantprofessor in the division of geriatrics at the University of So Paulo MedicalSchool.该研究的合著者、圣保罗大学医学院老年病学系助理教授克劳迪娅·末元博士称：“超加工食品在巴西人摄入的卡路里总量中占了25%到30%。在巴西，人们吃麦当劳、汉堡王的快餐，还吃很多巧克力和白面包。不幸的是，许多其他西方国家的饮食也大同小异。”"Fifty-eight percent of the calories consumed by UnitedStates citizens, 56.8% of the calories consumed by British citizens, and 48% ofthe calories consumed by Canadians come from ultraprocessed foods," Suemotosaid.末元教授指出：“超加工食品在美国人、英国人和加拿大人摄入的卡路里总量中分别占据了58%、56.8%和48%。”Ultraprocessed foods are defined as "industrialformulations of food substances (oils, fats, sugars, starch, and proteinisolates) that contain little or no whole foods and typically include flavorings,colorings, emulsifiers, and other chemical additives," according to thestudy.该研究对超加工食品的定义是“食物成分（油、脂肪、糖、淀粉、分离蛋白）的工业配方，其中几乎不含全天然食物，通常包括调味料、色素、乳化剂和其他化学添加剂”。"People who consumed more than 20% of daily calories fromprocessed foods had a 28% faster decline in global cognition and a 25% fasterdecline in executive functioning compared to people who ate less than20%," said study coauthor Natalia Gonalves, a researcher in the departmentof pathology at the University of So Paulo Medical

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
