二十国集团峰会
G20 summit
The annual summit of the Group of Twenty (G20), a gathering of the world’s largest economies, has evolved into a major forum for discussing the most pressing global issues. One of the group’s most impressive achievements was its robust response to the 2008 global financial crisis.
一年一度的二十国集团(G20)峰会汇聚了世界各大经济体,已发展成为讨论全球热点问题的重要论坛。G20所取得的最突出成就,就是对2008年全球金融危机所做出的有力应对。
In 2017, the rotating G20 presidency belongs to Germany, which will host the two-day leaders’ summit in Hamburg starting July 7. In addition to Trump and Putin, high-profile leaders in attendance are expected to include German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and newly elected French President Emmanuel Macron.
2017年,G20轮值主席国德国将从7月7日开始,在汉堡召开为期两天的领导人峰会。除了特朗普和普京,即将出席峰会的重要领导人还有德国总理默克尔、中国国家主席习近平以及新当选的法国总统马克龙。
The G20 initially focused largely on economic policy, but it has expanded its ambit in recent years. Ahead of Hamburg, Merkel stressed the theme of a “networked world,” and the German government laid out a broad agenda.
最初G20主要关注经济政策,近几年议题范围有所扩大。汉堡峰会前夕,默克尔强调了“塑造联动世界”的主题,德国政府发布了广泛议程。
Topping the list is financial regulation, and in particular addressing what Germany calls “harmful tax competition” between countries—the widespread use by companies and individuals of low-tax countries as tax shelters, as was dramatized by the 2016 Panama Papers leaks. The G20 is also pursuing policies, including information-sharing initiatives, to combat corruption and money laundering.
首要议程是金融监管,特别是应对德国指出的国家之间的“有害税收竞争”——低税收国家的企业和个人普遍采用这种做法作为避税手段,2016年泄露的巴拿马文件对此作出了详细说明。G20还会寻求制定信息共享举措等方面的政策,以打击腐败和洗钱行为。
Merkel has made ties with Africa a focus of the summit. Her government has presented a “Compact With Africa” initiative that would involve G20 nations bringing private investment, job growth, and new businesses to African states that have committed to economic reforms.
默克尔将与非洲的联系作为此次峰会的一个重点议题,德国政府提出“非洲契约”倡议,希望G20各国为致力于经济改革的非洲国家贡献私人投资、就业增长和新型商业。

summit 顶点,高级会议,峰会

七七事变80周年
80th anniversary of the “July 7 Incident”
Friday marks the 80th anniversary of the "July 7 Incident" that triggered Japan's full-scale invasion of China in 1937, compelling the Chinese people over the next eight years to fight back while enduring tremendous suffering and sacrifice.
今年7月7日是“七七事变”80周年纪念日。1937年的“七七事变”标志着中国全面抗日战争的爆发,接下来的8年时间里中国人民予以顽强抗争,但也经受了巨大的苦难与牺牲。
Such remembrance should not merely be a bitter recollection of a past tragedy, but also galvanize us to guard against ongoing revisionist sentiments among Japan's right-wing, who also commemorate the incident but with a shameful twist: one that whitewashes the perpetrators' war crimes.
这种纪念活动不应只停留在对过去悲剧的痛苦追忆,同时也提醒我们要警惕日本右翼势力一直奉行的修正主义,虽然他们也在纪念“七七事变”,但却是以一种歪曲事实的可耻方式,掩饰恶人犯下的战争罪行。
The Marco Polo Bridge Incident, in which the Japanese army absurdly demanded to search for what they claimed was a missing soldier in the town of Wanping near Beijing, sparked Japan's full scale invasion of China, impacting the trajectory of modern Chinese history.
日军声称一名士兵失踪,提出进入北京附近的宛平城进行搜索的荒诞要求,制造“卢沟桥事变”,借此发动了全面侵华战争,影响了中国近代史的发展历程。

remembrance 回想;缅怀
galvanize 刺激,激励
revisionist 修正主义者
whitewash n. 白色涂料 v. 掩饰,粉饰
