Chinese authorities have launched an anti-graft campaign in the medical field, with the objective of fostering an atmosphere of honesty and integrity in this sector across the country.

近日，中国医疗领域发起了一场反腐行动，以期在全国范围内营造诚实公正的医药市场环境。

Jointly initiated by the National Health Commission (NHC) and nine other departments in July, the year-long campaign aims to rectify prominent malpractices such as using power to seek rent, accepting kickbacks and bribery, according to the NHC.

据国家卫生健康委员会消息，今年7月，国家卫健委会同9个部门共同启动了为期一年的反腐运动，旨在整治行业重点领域的不正之风，如利用权力寻租、大肆收受回扣、行贿受贿等。

The anti-corruption drive will focus on individuals working in key positions in the medical sector, who have violated relevant rules and laws, the NHC said.

国家卫健委表示，反腐工作将聚焦违反相关法规和法律的医疗领域关键岗位。

The death toll in the Maui wildfires is now 110, Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said at a Wednesday news conference where officials faced often heated questions about the county’s actions as wildfire swept across the island last week, sending people scrambling for safety.

美国夏威夷州长乔希·格林在16日的新闻发布会上表示，毛伊岛火灾已致110人死亡。上周，毛伊岛大火席卷整个岛屿，迫使人们痛苦逃生。不少民众在新闻发布会上愤怒质疑政府官员。

With so many deaths and many more people unaccounted for, the governor has commissioned the state attorney general to investigate the response. But survivors, some of who were forced to seek refuge in the ocean, have demanded answers for issues like why no warning sirens sounded.

由于伤亡惨重以及多人下落不明，州长已下令州检察长就灾情应对展开审查。但一些被迫跳海求生的幸存者，要求政府回答诸多质疑，包括为什么城市的预警系统没有在第一时间响起。

Hawaii has one the largest siren warning systems in the world, but the 80 alarms on Maui, stayed silent. Maui Emergency Management Agency Administrator Herman Andaya told reporters Wednesday afternoon he has no regrets about not using sirens as the fires started spreading wildly August 8 and that doing so wouldn’t have affected the death toll.

夏威夷州拥有号称世界上最大的户外警报系统，但毛伊县的80个预警系统均未发出警报。毛伊岛紧急事务管理局局长赫尔曼·安达亚在16日的发布会上称，他对野火席卷该岛时警报器未能启动“并不后悔”，还称即使拉响警报也救不了所有人。

Andaya said the sirens are primarily used to warn when a tsunami is approaching the area and if they had sounded, many residents would’ve gone to the mountainside, where the fire was at its worst.

赫尔曼表示，警报声通常是为海啸预警而保留的。如果那天晚上拉响警报器，我们担心人们会跑到山上去，如果是这样的话，他们就会进入火海中。

An employee at the British Museum has been dismissed—and the Metropolitan Police has launched an investigation—after a number of items from the museum’s collection were found to be”missing, stolen or damaged,” the museum said in a statement Wednesday.

当地时间8月16日，大英博物馆发表声明称，在发现博物馆部分藏品被盗“失踪、被盗或遭到损坏”后，该馆的一名员工已被解雇，伦敦警察厅已展开调查。

The majority of the items were “small pieces kept in a storeroom”. “They include gold jewelry and gems of semi-precious stones and glass dating from the 15th century BC to the 19th century AD,” the museum said, adding none of the items had recently been on public display, and were kept mostly for academic and research purposes.

大多数物品是“储存在库房里的小件藏品”。“包括从公元前15世纪到公元19世纪的黄金珠宝、半宝石和玻璃宝石，”博物馆方面表示，这些物品主要用于学术和研究，近期均未面向公众展出。

Hartwig Fischer, the British Museum’s director, said the incident is “highly unusual.” “The Museum apologizes for what has happened,” Fischer said. “We have already tightened our security arrangements and we are working alongside outside experts to complete a definitive account of what is missing, damaged and stolen.”

大英博物馆馆长哈特维格·费舍尔表示这一事件“极不寻常”。“博物馆为此事道歉，”费舍尔说，“我们已经加强了安保措施，正与外部专家一起检查清点具体丢失、被盗和遭到损坏的藏品。”
