4月26日上午，中国第二艘航空母舰下水。这是首艘由中国自主研制和建造的航母，于当天上午9时在中国船舶重工集团公司大连造船厂举行的下水仪式上移出船坞。
It came after the Liaoning, a refitted Soviet Union-made carrier put into commission in the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy in 2012. China began building its second carrier in November 2013, with dock construction starting in March 2015.
在此之前，由苏联航母改造而成的“辽宁号”已于2012年在中国海军服役。第二艘航母于2013年11月开工，2015年3月开始坞内建造。
The main body of the carrier has been completed, with equipment of major systems including propulsion and electricity installed. Putting the carrier into water marks significant progress in China's efforts to design and build a domestic aircraft carrier.
目前，航母主船体已完成建造，动力、电力等主要系统设备安装到位。出坞下水标志着我国自主设计建造航空母舰取得了重大进展。
After the launch, the new carrier will undergo equipment debugging, outfitting and mooring trials.
下水之后，将对该航母进行设备调试、舾装施工和系泊试验。

法国大选
French presidential election
In France’s most consequential election in recent history, voters on Sunday chose Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen to go to a runoff on 7 May to determine the next president.
4月23日，在法国近期历史上影响最大的选举中，选民投票决定马克龙和勒庞进入5月7日最终竞选，以确定下届总统。
The result upended traditional French politics: it is the first time in six decades that neither of France's main left-wing or right-wing parties has had a candidate in the second round.
选举结果颠覆了法国传统政坛：六十年来，首次出现了法国主流左右翼政党候选人未进入第二轮选举。
At 39, Mr Macron could become the youngest president France has ever had - and the first president in the Fifth Republic who does not belong to a major party.
年仅39岁的马克龙有望成为史上最年轻的法国总统，以及法兰西第五共和国首位非主流党派总统。
Mr Macron was current President Francois Hollande's economy minister but quit to create his own party, En Marche, which pushes a liberal, pro-EU agenda.
马克龙曾是现任总统弗朗索瓦·奥朗德的经济部长，后来辞职创建自己的政党“前进党”，推行自由、亲欧政策。
Macron remains the frontrunner, and the markets moved to reflect that. The euro jumped against the dollar to its highest level since November as investors bet that the chances of Le Pen winning power were fading.
马克龙领跑大选，市场也随之做出反应。投资者预计勒庞获胜的可能性逐渐减小，欧元兑美元汇率创11月以来新高。
Vocabulary:
consequential 影响重大的，间接的，结果的，重要的，随之发生的
runoff 决赛
upend 倒立，颠倒
left-wing party 左翼政党
the Fifth Republic 法兰西第五共和国（即现法国）
push a ... agenda 推行……政策
frontrunner 领跑者，领先候选人
euro against dollar 欧元兑美元

China’s hit anti-corruption TV drama In the Name of People was recently leaked online ahead of its licensed release.
近日，中国热播反腐电视剧《人民的名义》在授权播出前遭网络泄露。
The 55-episode anti-graft TV drama, adapted from a namesake novel by Chinese writer Zhou Meisen, have earned both good ratings and rave reviews nationwide since it premiered on Hunan Satellite TV in late March. Meanwhile, it is also available on online TV provider PPTV.
这部55集反腐剧由周梅森的同名小说改编，自三月底在湖南卫视首播以来收视率颇高，全国范围内好评如潮。该剧在网络电视供应商PPTV同步播出。
However, the sensational TV drama has quickly fallen prey to online piracy. The full series was leaked online in mid-April when the hit TV drama was less than halfway aired via licensed channels. People can pay as little as RMB 8.8 to view the full series through WeChat, Weibo and Baidu Cloud.
然而，这部引起轰动的电视剧很快成为了网络盗版的牺牲品。四月中旬，完整剧集在网上泄露，而在获得许可的播放渠道上，播放进度还不足一半。人们只需支付8.8元就可以通过微信、微博、百度云盘获取完整剧集。
The leaked episodes were said to be the sample version submitted for approval to country’s top media watchdog, but the origin of the leak has not been identified.
据称，泄露的剧集是送审样片，但泄露的源头尚不明确。

生蚝危机
oyster crisis
Danish people would never expect that the oyster crisis confronting their country may turn into a food-lovers' bonanza in China. The European country's dilemma may be the last thing Chinese people would ever understand as they see the abundance of seafood as a treat, rather than a problem.
丹麦人打死也不会想到，丹麦所面临的生蚝危机在中国吃货看来却是天上掉馅饼的好事。也许对于中国人来说，这个欧洲国家所面临的窘境是他们最难以理解的事情，因为他们觉得，这些大量繁殖的海鲜简直就是个盛筵，而不应该成为一个问题。
The Danish Embassy published a story on Monday evening on its official Sina Weibo account, China's twitter-like social network, about the problems for their country caused by an invasion of the exotic oysters. Chinese internet users enthusiastically responded with much discussion about ways to address the issue on Weibo, then WeChat, another popular social media network.
4月24日晚，丹麦驻华大使馆官方账号在类似中国版推特的社交网络“新浪微博”上，发布了一则关于丹麦受外来生蚝入侵困扰的消息。一时间在微博上引起中国网友的热烈反响，大家纷纷为解决这个问题建言献策，随之，在大众社交网络“微信”上也引发网友热烈讨论。
The embassy makes a small joke in the post to invite Chinese people to eat oysters in Denmark which triggered heated debate. Apparently, when it comes to eating, Chinese people are very serious and they already started to make plans for their oyster journey.
大使馆在博文中开了个小玩笑，请中国人去丹麦吃生蚝，由此引发了热烈讨论。显然，一说到吃，中国人就特别认真，他们已经开始为生蚝之行做起了计划。

turn into 变成，进入
bonanza 鸿运，财运，好运，幸事
