德国大选

German Election



Angela Merkel won a fourth term as chancellor in elections on Sunday, even as her victory was dimmed by the entry of a far-right party into Parliament for the first time in more than 60 years, according to preliminary results.

当地时间9月24日,初步结果显示,安吉拉·默克尔赢得大选,第四次出任总理一职。与此同时,极右翼政党60多年来再次进入议会,给默克尔连任蒙上一层阴影。


Ms. Merkel’s conservative bloc won some 32.9 percent of the vote, sharply down from 41.5 percent in 2013, the early results showed.

早期调查结果显示,默克尔保守派政党得票率为32.9%,与2013年的41.5%相比大幅滑落。


The center-left Social Democrats slumped to 20.8 percent, a new postwar low, down from 25.7 percent four years ago.

左倾社会民主党(社民党)得票率从四年前的25.7%下跌至20.8%,创二战以来最低纪录。


The Social Democrats, Ms. Merkel’s coalition partners for the last four years, announced Sunday evening that the party would go into opposition, hoping to rebuild their political profile.

在过去四年中,社民党一直是默克尔政党的盟友,但社民党在24日晚宣布他们将成为反对党,希望重塑其政治姿态。


An alternative coalition for Merkel would be a three-way tie-up with the liberal Free Democrats (FDP) and the Ecologist Greens. That is a combination as yet untested at national level and known as the “Jamaica” option because the three parties’ colors are those of the black-gold-green Jamaica national flag.

默克尔可选择与自由民主党和生态绿党组成三党联盟,但这种国家层面的联盟方式之前从未在德国出现过。这种联盟方式被称为“牙买加”联盟,因为三个政党党旗的颜色分别为牙买加国旗的黑色、黄色和绿色。

英拉获刑

Yingluck trial verdict



Thailand’s supreme court has found the former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra guilty of negligence and sentenced her to five years in prison, a verdict delivered in absentia a month after she fled the country.

泰国最高法院认定前总理英拉·西那瓦犯有渎职罪,被判五年有期徒刑。英拉缺席审判,此前一个月,她已逃离泰国。


Yingluck, whose elected government was overthrown in 2014 by the army generals who still control the kingdom, had denied allegations relating to a mishandled and costly rice subsidy scheme.

英拉否认有关非法操纵巨额大米补贴计划的所有指控。她所领导的政府在2014年被现执政军队的将领推翻。


On August 25, her lawyer cited an ear problem as the reason for her no-show. However, the court rejected the excuse and delayed the verdict, later issuing an arrest warrant. The junta chief, Prayuth Chan-ocha, ordered border checks to be increased.

8月25日,律师称英拉耳朵不适,因此无法出庭,但法庭驳回了这一理由,将宣判推迟(至9月27日),随即发出拘捕令。陆军总司令帕拉育已命令加强边境检查。


Yingluck’s exact whereabouts are unknown, although Puea Thai party sources said she fled to Cambodia and flew via Singapore to Dubai.

尽管为泰党(英拉所属政党)党员称,英拉先飞往柬埔寨,后到达新加坡,最后飞往迪拜,但目前英拉的具体行踪仍然不明。

WeChat changes splash page



WeChat announced that it will be rolling out a new image of Earth for its splash page between Sept. 25 and 28. This is the first-ever change that the company has made to its launch screen in its six-year history.

微信官方宣布,9月25日-28日期间,启动页面将采用新的地球图片。这是微信6年来首次更换启动页面。


Since the app’s inception in 2011, WeChat’s splash page has featured an image of Earth called Blue Marble taken from outer space in 1972 by NASA. The new image is captured by Chinese weather satellite Feng Yun-4A.

“蓝色弹珠”的画面正对着非洲大陆,而“风云四号”拍摄的画面则正对着中国。这一改变是为了庆祝中国第二代气象卫星“风云四号”取得重大技术突破。

关于选用“蓝色弹珠”的原因,微信团队透露称:“非洲大陆是人类文明的起源地。因为人类的出现,才有了沟通的存在和意义。”
