中美全面经济对话
Sino-US comprehensive economic dialogue
The first round of economic talks between China and the US kicked off on Wednesday in Washington, DC with the expectation that an extension from a 100-day to a one-year cooperation plan will help smooth trade frictions. The 100-day action plan was initiated after Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump met at Mar-a-Largo in Florida in April, signing agreements on agriculture products, energy and banking and financial services.
中美首轮经济对话于7月19日在华盛顿举行,以期将经济合作百日计划发展成为一年计划,缓和贸易摩擦。今年4月两国元首在佛罗里达海湖庄园进行了会晤,之后提出百日行动计划,签署了涉及农产品、能源和银行金融服务等方面的协议。
Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang co-chaired the first round of the Comprehensive Economic Dialogue (CED) with US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.
首轮全面经济对话由国务院副总理汪洋与美国财政部长史蒂芬·姆努钦、商务部长威尔伯·罗斯共同主持。

汪洋表示,双方决定建立中美全面经济对话等4个高级别对话机制,启动中美经济合作百日计划,这给两国工商界吃了“定心丸”。

More important, the intensive engagement over the 100 days is said to have helped the respective economic teams build trust.

租购同权
equal rights for tenants
The government of Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong Province, will offer rental tenants the same rights as housing owners to educational access, tax rebates and monetary support, a move that experts said will improve the rental market as well as curb surging home prices.
中国南部广东省省会广州市政府宣布实行租购同权,承租人将享有入学、税收优惠和资金扶持等同等权益。专家认为,此举将促进住房租赁市场的发展,并遏制房价高涨。
In China, home ownership is linked to school registration rights as the location of a student's home determines which school they can attend, but that is only the case for the children of homeowners rather than tenants.
在中国,房产权与入学权紧密相关,学生的居住地决定其可以进入哪所学校就读,但这只是对于业主的子女而言,租客并不享有这种权利。
Under the new regulation, tenants who hold a local hukou (household registration) or a skilled worker certificate or fulfill the same qualifications in a point-based ranking system could enroll their children in elementary and middle schools near their rented housing, said a statement posted on the government's website on Monday.
7月17日,广州市政府网站上的一则通知显示,实行新政策后,持有本市户口(住户人口登记)或人才绿卡或符合积分入学安排条件的承租人,其子女可在居住地附近的小学和中学就读。
However, as education resources in first-tier cities are quite limited, rent levels of housing around good schools are likely to surge and market speculation will emerge. Thus, relevant rules to regulate the sector should be further discussed and rolled out.
然而,由于一线城市教育资源有限,重点学校周围的房租可能会暴涨,从而出现市场投机行为。因此,需要进一步研究并出台住房租赁市场的相关规定。
Vocabulary:
tenant 承租人,房客;佃户

天使粒子
Angel Particle
▲华裔物理学家张首晟
Physicists believe they have discovered a particle that is both matter and anti-matter, an idea that was first theorised 80 years ago.
物理学家认为,他们已经发现了一种既是物质又是反物质的粒子,这一设想曾于80年前提出。
When the Big Bang created the universe out of nothing, scientists believe the explosion created equal amounts of matter and anti-matter. And, if they were ever to meet, they would annihilate each other – returning to ‘nothing’ apart from a burst of energy.
当宇宙大爆炸从无到有创造出宇宙时,科学家认为爆炸同时创造了等量的物质和反物质。如果它们相遇,就会相互湮灭,释放出能量后化为乌有。
However, in 1937 an Italian theoretical physicist, Ettore Majorana, predicted the existence of a strange class of particles called fermions that were their own anti-particles.
然而,1937年,意大利理论物理学家Ettore Majorana预言了一种神奇粒子的存在,这种粒子被称为费米子,它们本身就是自己的反粒子。
And now, in an article in the prestigious journal Science, researchers report they have found the first evidence of just such an object, which they dubbed the “Angel Particle”.
如今,在久负盛名的《科学》杂志的一篇文章中,研究人员报告称发现了上述物质存在的首个证据,他们称之为“天使粒子”。
Professor Shoucheng Zhang, a Standford University physicist who proposed how an experiment to find the particle could be carried out, said: “Our team predicted exactly where to find the Majorana fermion and what to look for as its ‘smoking gun’ experimental signature.
斯坦福大学的物理学家张首晟教授提出了如何发现该粒子的实验,他表示:“我们团队精准预言了在哪里能够找到Majorana费米子,继而指出哪些实验信号能够作为确凿的证据。”
Professor Tom Devereaux, also of Stanford University, said: “This research will be a landmark in the field.”
同为斯坦福大学教授的汤姆·德弗罗表示:“这项研究将成为该领域的里程碑。”
Vocabulary:
particle 颗粒;质点
theorise 建立理论;使理论化
the Big Bang 宇宙大爆炸
annihilate 湮灭;湮没;歼灭,战胜;废止
fermion 费米子
Angel Particle 天使粒子
smoking gun 确凿的证据

暗网
the Deep Web
The so-called Surface Web, which all of us use routinely, consists of data that search engines can find and then offer up in response to your queries. The Deep Web consists of data that you won't locate with a simple Google search.
所谓明网,即我们日常使用的网络,其中的数据能被搜索引擎抓取,然后将我们所提交问题的答案呈现出来。而暗网的数据,仅用谷歌是无法找到的。
No one really knows how big the Deep Web really is, but it is hundreds (or perhaps even thousands) of times bigger that the Surface Web. This data isn't necessarily hidden on purpose. It's just hard for current search engine technology to find and make sense of it.
没有人知道暗网究竟有多大,但暗网的规模可能是明网的上百倍甚至上千倍。暗网的数据并非都是蓄意隐藏,只是目前搜索引擎的技术很难找到并读懂这些数据。
For example, there are private websites that require login passwords before you can access the contents, and internal pages with no external links, which are used for site maintenance purposes.
比如,有些私人网站需要登录密码才可访问内容,有些用于网站维护的内部页面并没有外部链接。
The Deep Web is private, anonymous and powerful. Researchers at the University of Luxembourg found that in the Deep Web, although sites trading in illegal activities and adult content are very popular (which usually gets most of the headlines), so too are those concerned with human rights and freedom of information.
暗网具有隐私性、匿名性以及强大的力量。卢森堡大学的研究人员发现,虽然暗网中有许多从事非法活动和成人内容交易的网站(这些通常是媒体报道最多的内容),但关于人权和信息自由的网站也不在少数。

the Surface Web 明网,表层网络
the Deep Web 暗网
query 疑问;提出疑问
make sense of 理解,解释
login password 登录密码
access 访问;接近;进入

共享床铺
shared sleep capsule/cabine
One month after installing napping pods in office buildings in 18 cities across the country, Beijing-based Xiangshui Space has temporarily shut down its business because it has not yet acquired the necessary licenses from local fire departments.
一个月前,总部位于北京的“享睡空间”在全国18个城市设立了午睡舱,而现在,享睡空间由于未从当地消防部门获得必要的许可而暂停营业。
Xiangshui Space aims to offer relaxation stations for office workers in some of China’s most crowded cities. Customers enter a glass enclosure and scan a QR code to unlock one of the refrigerator-sized capsules. Disposable blankets, sheets, and wet wipes are available in a basket next to the pods.
享睡空间旨在为中国拥挤不堪的大城市的上班族提供休息站。使用者进入一个玻璃空间,通过扫描二维码便可解锁一个冰箱大小的休息舱。休息舱旁边的篮子里有一次性毯子、一次性被单和湿纸巾供客人取用。
To be a legally run business, Xiangshui Space has to meet a slew of industry standards. For example, the shared bunk has to ensure that the customer will not be exposed to infectious diseases.
享睡空间需达到众多行业标准才可合法经营,例如必须保证共享的床铺不会让客人染上传染病。
Following in the tracks of bikes, battery packs and umbrellas, napping pods are the latest player to enter China’s burgeoning sharing economy. But some experts say shared capsules just incorporated some new technologies like Alipay and the concept is essentially just a variation on the conventional hotel.
继共享单车、电池和雨伞之后,午睡舱成为中国大热的共享经济新玩家。但也有专家认为,共享床铺只是运用了一些诸如支付宝的新科技,这种概念实质上只不过是传统旅馆的一个变种。

pod 舱;豆荚
relaxation station 休息站
enclosure 封闭空间;围场;附件
capsule 太空舱;胶囊
