5月15日上午，国家航天局确认，搭载中国首辆火星车的着陆器成功着陆火星。

Tianwen-1, consisting of an orbiter, a lander and a rover, was launched from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on the coast of southern China's island province of Hainan on July 23, 2020. It was the first step in China's planetary exploration of the solar system, with the aim of completing orbiting, landing and roving on the red planet in one mission.

天问一号探测器由一台环绕器、一台着陆器和一辆火星车组成，于2020年7月23日从海南文昌发射场发射。这是中国探索太阳系行星的第一步，旨在通过一次任务实现火星环绕、着陆和巡视。

The rover Zhurong will take a further seven to eight days to detect the surrounding environment and conduct self checks before moving down from the lander to the Martian surface

火星车“祝融”号将用七到八天时间探测周边环境，并进行自我检查，然后从着陆器降落到火星表面。

Two photos and two videos captured by China's Mars probe Tianwen-1 during and after the country's first landing on the red planet were released by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) on Wednesday.

Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas have agreed to a cease-fire, they announced in separate statements on Thursday afternoon, pausing their worst clash since 2014.

以色列与巴勒斯坦武装组织“哈马斯”达成停火协定。5月20日下午，双方发表声明，结束自2014年以来爆发的最大规模冲突。

Israel responded with airstrikes on Gaza, the territory ruled by Hamas, that killed dozens of civilians ― including more than 60 children ― and destroyed critical infrastructure, such as medical facilities.

A New York state civil investigation into former US President Donald Trump’s business dealings has now expanded to include a criminal investigation, the state’s attorney general confirmed Tuesday. It has focused on whether the Trump Organization engaged in tax and insurance fraud, among other crimes.

美国纽约州司法部长18日晚发声明称，已将对特朗普集团的业务调查从民事调查转为刑事调查。调查的重点是特朗普集团是否涉及税务和保险欺诈。

"We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civil in nature," Fabien Levy, a spokesperson for New York Attorney General Letitia James’s office said in a statement. "We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA. We have no additional comment at this time."

纽约州司法部长利蒂希娅·詹姆斯的办公室发言人法比安·利维在声明中称，“我们已经通知特朗普集团，我们对该组织的调查不再是纯粹的民事性质。我们正在与曼哈顿地区检察官一起，以刑事罪名积极调查特朗普集团。我们目前没有其他评论。”

In a 900-word accusatory statement Wednesday, Trump lambasted James personally as being out to get him from the beginning and cast her investigation as part of the continuum of the "witch hunt" against him.

特朗普对此发表了一篇长约900字的控诉声明，抨击詹姆斯在对他有所了解之前，就已经发起了起诉行动。他认为此调查是詹姆斯对其持续的“政治迫害”的一部分。
