父亲节

Father's Day

Father's Day falls on Sunday, June 18, 2017 in the UK, as well as a host of other countries around the world.

在英国和全球很多国家，2017年父亲节是在6月18日这一天。

The idea originated in the USA and has been officially celebrated there on the third Sunday in June since 1966. The exact origins of what we now know as Father’s Day are disputed, though we do know the movement for a day which celebrated fatherhood began roughly 100 years ago.

父亲节的想法起源于美国，1966年起将日期正式确立为6月的第三个星期日。不过，我们现在熟知的父亲节的确切起源仍存在争议，尽管选一天为父亲过节的方式始于大约100年前。

In China, Father’s Day used to be celebrated on 8 August as the Chinese for eight is “ba”, while a colloquial word for father is “ba-ba” – so the eighth day of the eighth month sounds similar to “daddy”.

在中国，人们过去常常在8月8日庆祝父亲节。因为汉语中8的发音是“ba”，父亲的口语发音是“ba-ba”，所以8月8日听起来像“爸爸”。

The day has since been moved to the third Sunday of June, in line with the UK and US.

后来，这个节日改成了6月的第三个星期日，与英国和美国为同一天。

Vocabulary:

fall on  降临，落到，指向

a host of  许多，一大群，大量

originate  发生于，起源于

fatherhood  父亲的身份，夫权，父性

roughly  粗糙地，概略地，大致

colloquial  白话的，通俗的，口语的

in line with  符合，与…一致

国足战平叙利亚

China’s draw against Syria

China's hopes of qualifying for next year's World Cup Finals hang by the thinnest of threads after an injury-time goal from Saleh saw Syria hold Marcello Lippi's team to a 2-2 draw on Tuesday evening.

6月13日晚间，萨利赫在伤停补时阶段射门得分，至此马尔切洛•里皮率领的中国队与叙利亚队战成2:2平局，中国队晋级明年世界杯总决赛的希望变得十分渺茫。

Second-half goals from Gao Lin and Wu Xi looked set to give China the win after Mahmoud Al Mawas had put the Syrians in front in the 12th minute when he scored from the penalty spot.

（上半场）第12分钟，马瓦斯点球破门助叙利亚领先。下半场郜林和吴曦射门得分，为中国队赢得比赛带来希望。

But Al Saleh's injury-time free-kick saw the points shared and leaves the Chinese six points behind third-placed Uzbekistan with two games remaining, with the two nations set to meet in August.

但萨利赫在伤停补时阶段凭借任意球将比分扳平，使得中国队比排在第三位的乌兹别克斯坦队落后6分。中国队还剩最后两场比赛，并将于8月对战乌兹别克斯坦队。

临近空间太阳能无人机

near-space solar drone

China's Caihong (CH), or Rainbow, solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the country's first near-space solar drone, has successfully conducted a 15-hour flight at an altitude of 20 km.

中国首个临近空间太阳能无人机“彩虹”成功在20000米高空完成了15小时的飞行。

The CH UAV, with a wingspan of 45 meters equipped with solar panels, boasts a high cost efficiency as it does not require refuelling during long-term missions. Also, the solar-powered feature allows the UAV to generate no air pollution, making it environmentally-friendly.

彩虹无人机翼展可达45米，装有太阳能电池板，执行长期任务时无须补充燃料，因此成本效率极高。此外，太阳能功能实现了无人机对空气的零污染，十分环保。

With the success of the CH UAV flight, China has become the third country to master near-space solar drone technology following the United States and the United Kingdom.

彩虹无人机成功试飞标志着中国成为继英美之后第三个掌握临近空间太阳能无人机技术的国家。

According to the project plan, the CH UAV will perform as a "quasi-satellite" in the future, being able to supplant some functions of telecommunication satellites in providing data relay services.

按照项目计划，未来彩虹无人机将扮演“准卫星”角色，在数据中继方面替代部分通信卫星功能。

It is also expected to be used as "an airborne mobile Wi-Fi hub" to provide convenient mobile telecommunication and Internet access for remote areas and islands, saving the huge construction and maintenance costs of traditional communication means.

预计彩虹无人机还可用作“空中移动WiFi基站”，为偏远地区和海岛提供便捷的移动通信和互联网接入服务，节省了传统通信方式巨大的建设和维护成本。

The UAV will also be capable of forestry and agricultural surveying as well as early warning and real-time monitoring of disasters. In earthquake, flood or forest fire situations where telecommunications are cut off, such vehicles may provide services to maintain communication with the affected areas.

该无人机还能进行森林资源与农业普查、灾难早期预警与实时监测等。在地震、洪水或森林火灾导致通信中断的情况下，这种无人机可以提供相应服务，保持受灾地区与外界的联络。

Vocabulary:

unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)  无人驾驶飞行器（无人机）

altitude  高度；海拔

wingspan  翼展

solar panels  太阳能电池板

cost efficiency  成本效率

quasi-satellite  准卫星

supplant  代替

硬X射线调制望远镜

Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope

China launched its first X-ray space telescope to observe black holes, pulsars and gamma-ray bursts, via a Long March-4B carrier rocket from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 11 a.m. Thursday.

6月15日上午11时，中国在酒泉卫星发射中心用长征四号乙运载火箭将其首个X射线太空望远镜发射升空，用于观测黑洞和脉冲星，以及监测伽马射线暴。

The 2.5-tonne Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT), dubbed Insight, was sent into an orbit of 550 kilometers above the earth to help scientists better understand the evolution of black holes, and the strong magnetic fields and the interiors of pulsars.

该硬X射线调制望远镜名为“慧眼”，重2.5吨，被送入550公里近地轨道，将帮助科学家更好地了解黑洞的演化与脉冲星的强大磁场及其内部情况。

Through the telescope, scientists will also study how to use pulsars for spacecraft navigation, and search for gamma-ray bursts corresponding to gravitational waves.

通过该望远镜，科学家还将研究如何利用脉冲星进行航天器自主导航，以及寻找与引力波相应的伽马射线暴。

The result of the wisdom and efforts of several generations of Chinese scientists, Insight is expected to push forward the development of space astronomy and improve space X-ray detection technology in China.

“慧眼”是几代中国科学家智慧与汗水的结晶，将推动中国空间天文学的发展，提高中国的太空X射线探测技术。

Vocabulary:

世界无肉日

World Meet-Free Day

Monday June 12, 2017 is World Meat-Free Day, which celebrates an initiative that hopes to get everyone to adopt a vegetarian diet for just 24 hours. The aim is to promote healthier diets, living sustainably, and cutting our carbon footprint.

2017年6月12日（星期一）是世界无肉日，这一节日倡议所有人吃一天素食，旨在推广健康饮食、可持续生活方式和减少碳足迹。

According to the organisers of World Meat Free Day, by 2050 the global population is set to increase to over 9 billion people, and if we continue with our current diets then meat production is set to reach 200 million tonnes, a figure which simply cannot be reached.

据世界无肉日组织方，到2050年，全球人口将增至90多亿，如果我们保持现在的饮食习惯，那么肉产品将达到2亿公吨，而这个产量根本无法实现。

Producing meat takes quite a lot of energy. You have to provide either feed to the animals or let them graze on open pastures. Either way, you need to grow that food, as well as water the land and keep the cattle from getting parched—all of which generates carbon dioxide emissions.

生产肉类产品需耗费大量能源，必须给动物喂食或让动物在露天牧场吃草。无论以何种方式，都需要种植动物的饲料，还需要给土地浇水，并防止牲畜缺水——这些都会产生二氧化碳排放。

Giving up meat can also help save water. Giving up meat for one day saves the equivalent of nine people’s daily water usage. Simply put, we need to make changes to our dietary choices in order to be better equipped for the future.

放弃肉食也有助于节约水资源，一天不吃肉节约的水相当于九个人的每日用水量。简单来说，我们需要改变饮食习惯以更好地面对未来。

Vocabulary:

initiative  倡议；主动性

carbon footprint  碳足迹

feed  饲料；喂养

graze  吃草；擦伤

pasture  草场，牧场

cattle  牛；牲畜

carbon dioxide  二氧化碳

parched  干渴的；干透的

the equivalent of  相当于，等价的

dietary choice  饮食习惯
