上周四，世界观察研究学会一年

一度的“地球健康体检”报告出炉。2005年，地球的森林砍伐量创历史新高，这是该报告强调的众多环境问题征兆之一。 该驻华盛顿智囊机构在一份题为“地球生命征兆2007-2008”的报告中指出，从肉类消费量的不断增长到亚洲经济发展等各种全球性态势与气候变化这一显著问题都有关系。

“地球声明征兆2007-2008”项目的负责人埃里克•阿萨多利安说，“我认为气候变化是人类有史以来所面临的最严峻的挑战”。 在报告公布前，阿萨多利安在接受记者的电话采访时说，“我们可以看到气候变化中出现的众多趋势，比如，粮食生产受到洪涝灾害的影响；以及肉类生产，据统计，家禽饲养过程中所产生的温室气体占温室气体总排放量的20%”。

阿萨多利安说，这份报告的主题是，二氧化碳排放及其它生态灾

Washington-based

think tank's "Vital Signs 2007-2008" report points to global patterns ranging from rising meat

consumption to Asian economic growth it says are linked to the broader problem of climate change. "I think climate change is the most urgent challenge we have ever faced," said Erik Assadourian, director of the Vital Signs project.

"You see many trends in climate change, whether we are talking about grain production which is affected by droughts and flooding. Or meat

production as livestock production makes up about

20 percent of greenhouse gas emissions," he told

1

reporters in a telephone interview before the report's release.

Assadourian said the key message of the report was that unsustainable consumption patterns were responsible for climate change linked to carbon emissions and other ecological woes.

He said of the 44 trends tracked by the report, 28 were "pronouncedly bad" and only six were positive.

The trends range from the spread of avian flu to the rise of carbon emissions to the number of violent conflicts. The growing use of wind power is among the few trends seen as positive.

Some of the points highlighted in the report include: - Meat production hit a record 276 million metric tons (43 kilograms or 95 pounds per person) in 2006.

- Meat consumption is one of several factors driving rising soybean demand. Rapid expansion of soybean plantations in South America could displace 22 million hectares (54 million acres) of tropical forest and savanna in the next 20 years. - The rise in global seafood consumption comes as many fish species become scarcer. In 2004, people ate 156 million metric tons of seafood, the

equivalent of three times as much seafood per person than in 1950.

Other analysts and think tanks have focused on different trends they say mean less cause for

alarm. For example, they point out that while more wood is being removed from forests on a global scale, many parts of Europe and North America have experienced reforestation in recent decades.

难引起气候变化，“不可持续”的消费模式才是气候变化的罪魁祸首。

据他介绍，在报告中提到的44种与气候变化有关的趋势中，有28种“尤为不利”，仅有六种具有积极意义。

这些趋势包括禽流感的蔓延、二氧化碳排放量的增加、以及暴力冲突的增加等。风能使用的日益增多是仅有的几大积极趋势之一。

报告中的一些重点包括： --2006年，肉类生产量创2.76亿吨（人均43公斤/95磅）的最新记录。

--肉类消费量的增加是造成大豆需求不断增长的几大因素之一。在南美洲，大豆种植面积迅速扩大，这可能会导致未来20年热带森林和热带草原面积减少

2200万公顷（5400万英亩）。 --很多鱼类品种日益稀少，全球海鲜消费量增加。2004年，全球共消耗1.56亿吨海鲜产品，人均消费量相当于1950年的三倍。

也有分析人士和相关智囊机构在关注另外一些趋势，他们认为这些趋势可以降低“警报级别”。 例如，尽管全球森林砍伐量创新高，但欧洲和北美的很多地区近几十年来一直在进行再造林。

中国的富人们缺了些什么？

Nation's rich have poor reputation

Wealthy Chinese do not have a good reputation, a survey by China Youth Daily and Sina.com has found.

Daily and Sina.com has found.

about 70 percent of

3,990 interviewees

believe the well-off are immoral and not worthy of respect. Only 4 percent thought rich people are good, the survey said.

For the rich to become popular they need to do

three things, the survey suggested.

First, they need to have a sense of social responsibility. Second, they need to be self

disciplined, and third, they need to have a caring heart.

The number of people who make at least $50,000 a year increases by 15 percent a year and, according to the China Economic Times, the country now has 1.5 million rich people.

中国青年报和新浪网联合开展的一项调查发现，中国富人的社会形象较差。

该项于上周开展的民意调查显示，在3990名受访者中，有70%的人认为富人道德低下，不值得尊重。仅有4%的人对富人持正面印象。

调查表明，中国富人身上最缺乏的三大品质是社会责任感、自律精神和爱心。

据《中国经济时报》统计数据，我国年收入至少5万美元的富裕人口数量以每年15%的速度增长，目前已达150万人。 该调查发现，受访者对富人的发家方式最为质疑。

中国传媒大学的一名研究生说：“有些富人是通过受贿等不法手段来积聚财富的。”

即便如此，调查发现，一些合法致富、有社会责任感及有爱心的富豪还是深受人们尊敬的。 调查显示，约60%的人认为具备

in the first place.

"Some rich people are thought to have

accumulated their wealth through illegal means, such as bribery," said a post-graduate student at the Communication University of China. Even so, the survey found wealthy people who abide by the law, have a sense of social

responsibility and a caring heart, are respected. The poll showed about 60 percent thought these kinds of wealthy people were worthy of respect. The survey suggested many voters were much better disposed toward rich people from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Western economies - rather than the mainland.

Hong Kong property tycoon Li Ka-shing was most highly regarded, followed by Bill Gates, mainland property tycoon Wang Shi and basketball player Yao Ming.

"Rich people on the mainland invest too little in charity and gain too much," a student from Beijing Sports University said.

Yu Guoming, a professor at Renmin University of China, called on the heads of Chinese companies to think and invest in a long-term way. "Corporate social responsibility is not only about charity, it also connects the company with the government and the public." 点击查看更多双语新闻

这些品质的富人值得尊敬。 在投票调查中，港、澳、台地区及国外的富豪得到的票数远多于大陆富豪。

香港房地产大亨李嘉诚最受尊重，其次是比尔•盖茨，大陆房地产大亨王石和篮球巨星姚明。 北京体育大学的一名学生说：“中国大陆的富豪对慈善事业的贡献太少，得到的太多。” 中国人民大学的喻国民教授认为中国企业家们要有长远的眼光和战略投资意识。“企业的社会责任不是单纯的慈善，它还是联系企业、政府和公众的纽带。”

开学了 给孩子一个好睡眠

Kids and sleep: they need more

Now that school has started, many parents find themselves

struggling to shift their kids back to a working routine. As they shave off time Kids need more sleep

for TV and the Internet to make

way for schoolwork, parents may want to add extra for that other big contributor to success at school: sleep. Recent research on kids has connected the importance of sleep not only to cognition, but to behavior and mood as well.

Some researchers theorize that the REM, or rapid eye movement, phase of sleep is when the brain produces and consolidates neural networks for memory and cognition. It's a kind of "formatting of the brain," says Ralph Downey, an expert of sleep medicine at Loma Linda University and Children's Hospital in Southern California and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Before the age of 6, a typical child will require between 12 and 13 hours of sleep per night, says Judith Owens, associate professor of pediatrics at Brown University and a noted expert on childhood sleep disorders. At age 6, 10 to 11 hours are needed. While the amount of sleep necessary

drops once kids reach adolescence, Owens notes, "they still need at least nine hours under ideal

circumstances."

新学期开始了，很多家长正努力地把孩子拉回正轨。在让看电视和上网让位于家庭作业的同时，家长们可能还想为孩子的学习进步再添一大“砝码”——睡眠。近日一项有关儿童的研究发现，睡眠不仅和儿童的认知表现有重要关系，而且会影响他们的行为和情绪。

一些研究人员提出，大脑在快速动眼睡眠期会产生并巩固形成记忆和认知的神经元。洛玛•林达大学及南加州儿童医院的睡眠药物专家、美国睡眠药物学会发言人拉尔夫•唐尼说，这有点像大脑的一种“格式化”。布朗大学儿科学副教授、儿童睡眠问题知名专家朱迪思•欧文斯说，一个正常的孩子在六岁之前每天需要12至13个小时的睡眠。6岁的孩子每天需要10至11个小时的睡眠。他说，尽管孩子到了青春期后所需的睡眠时间开始减少，“但在理想状况下，他们仍需要至少九个小时的睡眠”。

孩子睡眠不足会怎样呢？孩子在睡眠不足时的反应往往不同于成年人（在缺觉情况下）感到的精力不足与困乏。肯塔基州路易斯维尔大学的儿童睡眠研究主任大卫•格扎尔说：“孩子在缺乏睡眠的情况下会变得很亢奋

他们可以在一个系列赛中打7场，一直坚持到紧张的最后一分钟。神奇的是，他们仍然有足够的精力去疯狂地庆祝胜利。

Kobe Bryant can grab a court-length pass, allow the final seconds to tick away, tuck the ball under his armpit and then sprint around the floor, leaving sneaker marks. Ron Artest can go bonkers, as he is often accused of doing, and everyone would consider it a normal reaction. Andrew Bynum can go from teammate to teammate, leaping high and giving chest-bumps. Didn't he have a damaged knee? Did. Not. Matter.

科比布莱恩特接得住跨越球场的长传；能够控制住比赛局势，让最后的几秒钟在他的手中一点一点地逝去；能够把球夹在腋窝下，在球场上左冲右突如入无人之境，只留下一串球鞋的印记。阿特斯特疯狂了，不过大家早已习以为常，觉得那是他的正常反应。拜纳姆高高跳起，和队友们一一撞胸庆祝。难道他的膝盖没有受伤？受伤了，只是，此刻，伤痛早已算不得什么。

"Caught up in the moment," as Kobe explained.

正如科比所说，“大家都沉醉在这一刻了。”

While it wasn't a masterpiece, it was, in the words of coach Phil Jackson, done-"It wasn't well done," he acknowledged. "But it was done."

虽然，此役并不能堪称经典，但这场战斗用禅师菲尔杰克逊的话来说，就是，都结束了-“打的并不是特别好，”他承认，“但，最终还是拿下来了。”

记者7日从高考考卷一些阅卷点获悉，今年考试院对阅卷老师的资格做出了严格要求，高校的阅卷老师必须是博士学历。虽然今年北京考生人数减少了20%，但是考试院要求各个阅卷点不减少阅卷老师数量以及阅卷的天数，以保证阅卷质量。

请看相关报道：

Beijing exam markersneed to hold doctorate--Staff charged with scoring China’s national College Entrance Exam (NCEE) should be teachers who hold a doctorate, the examination board announced after the first day of tests.

北京阅卷老师须有博士学位——考试院在高考第一天结束后宣称，负责评阅高考试卷的老师须有博士学位。

从上面的报道中，我们可以知道，“阅卷老师”就是exam marker。Marker的意思是“阅卷人，批作业的人”。以往阅卷老师可能会用marker pen（记号笔）来批改试卷，但北京今年高考数学卷将开始采取online scoring（网上阅卷）的方式。在平时的考试或测验中，我们的老师可能既是examination room（考场）中的supervisor（考官），又是exam marker。

由于National College Entrance Exam（高考）是决定考生前途的关键时刻，有的考生会因为压力过大而患上testophobia（考试恐惧症）。有的考生家长为了让孩子考上好大学，不惜在考前将就学地点迁到其他竞争较不激烈的地区，这种考生被称为NCEE migrant（高考移民）。

In World Cup football action on Sunday, five-time champion Brazil beat Ivory Coast 3-1 to clinch a berth in the knockout phase of the soccer extravaganza in South Africa。

在周日的世界杯比赛当中，五冠王巴西队以3-1击败科特迪瓦队，在本次足球盛事中，夺得了淘汰赛席位。

"The Samba Boys" from Brazil maintained their perfect record against African opponents in World Cup competition. The Brazilians have now won all six of their matches against African teams in the history of the tournament。

在世界杯的角逐中，桑巴军团在与非洲球队的对阵中，保持着很高的胜率。在世界杯历史上，巴西队与非洲球队狭路相逢共6次，巴西人完胜。

Striker Luis Fabiano had two goals for Brazil and was named Man of the Match. Midfielder Elano added the third in the 62nd minute。

巴西前锋法比亚诺本场梅开二度，被评为本场最佳。中场球员埃拉诺在第62分钟再为巴西打入一球。

Fabiano's first goal came in the 25th minute. It was a powerful right-footed shot fired into the top of the net. Fabiano's second goal, in the 50th minute, was one of the best so far in this month-long tournament. He beat two Ivorian defenders, then hit a left-footed shot past goalkeeper Boubacar Barry。

法比亚诺的第一粒进球是在第25分钟，右脚大力射门，命中球门上方。第二粒入球在第50分钟产生，为本次世界杯的最佳进球之一。法比亚诺晃过两名防守队员，面对门将，左脚推射命中。

In the match's closing minutes, scuffles broke out among the Brazilian and Ivorian players. Brazilian star Kaka, who set up two of his team's goals, was ejected with

two yellow cards. That means he will miss Brazil's last group match against Portugal on June 25.

比赛最后几分钟，双方展开混战。巴西球星卡卡在本场比赛中2次助攻球队破门，但终因吃到两张黄牌而被罚下。这意味着他将缺席6月25日巴西对阵葡萄牙的最后一场小组赛。

这是一个很多人预料之外的大比分，这是一个很多人预料之外的溃败。当朝鲜队与葡萄牙队比赛的比分定格在0比7这个血红的数字之上时，很多人甚至感到难以置信——短短的5天之前还让我们称赞不已的朝鲜队，就这样在开普敦的瓢泼大雨中彻底地迷失了方向！8年之前，德国队在日韩世界杯上8比0狂胜沙特队的“惨案 ”，8年后的今天，又一幕惨剧在南非上演，虽然交手的双方由德国队、沙特队变成了葡萄牙队和朝鲜队，不变的则是，被蹂躏的依然是亚洲足球！

CAPE TOWN, South Africa - Superior-looking Portugal sent DPR Korea packed with a comfortable 7-0 whitewash in their World Cup Group G match here on Monday.

DPR Korea became the second team eliminated from the 2010 World Cup finals, following Cameroon. And so far, it was the biggest win in the ongoing tournament in South Africa.

Portugal midfielder Raul Meireles opened the scoring in the 29th minute when he received a perfect throughball into the right channel and finished, first time, beyond the advancing keeper Ri Myong Guk.

After four minutes, a casual defending by Pak Chol Jin, who kicked the ball onto a teammate in the box, made the ball deflect straight to Meireles, but the goalscorer fired wide.

From 53rd to 60th minute, Portugal made a hat-trick. It was 2-0 as Simao finished a silky move. Meireles put a lovely pass into the path of forward Simao, who calmly sidefooted it under the keeper.

It was 3-0 as Hugo Almeida dashed into the box and scored with a close range header from Fabio Coentrao's perfect cross from the left.

It was 4-0 when Cristiano Ronaldo burst into space on the left and waited for the

run of Tiago, before setting him up to side foot home from the edge of the box.

The 81st to 89th minute saw another hat-trick for Portugal. It was 5-0 when a low cross fortuitously fell at the feet of the substitute Liedson, who scored from close range.

It was 6-0 when Ronaldo ended his drought. Fortunate goal after the ball bounced up off the keeper and rolled off the top of his head, before the Real Madrid man tapped in.

It was 7-0 when Tiago scored again from Coentrao's cross.

DPR Korea did not defend around their box all the time. Instead, they attacked and exerted pressure on their opponents.

On 15 minutes, Jong Tae Se received a throughball but couldn't quite stop the Jabulani from skidding off the surface. If he could have controlled that Portugal would have been trouble.

Another great effort for DPR Korea appeared in the 18th minute when skipper Hong Yong Jo surprised Eduardo with an early shot from the right side of the box. The rebound was headed just over.

But in the second half, they collapsed.

In their first group matches, Portugal tied Cote d'Ivoire 0-0, and DPR Korea lost to Brazil 2-1.

Brazil beat Cote d'Ivoire 3-1 last night to book a berth in last 16 with two wins and three- goal advantage.

3世界杯看点：梅西能否成为马拉多纳第二？

发布: 2010-6-28 10:46 作者: 新浪 来源: 新浪 查看: 54次【字体：变小 变大】 TAG: 世界杯 体育新闻 英语新闻 梅西 马拉多纳

两人出奇地相似，一位是球员，梅西；而另一位则是他的教头，马拉多纳。这二位，均可称得上是光芒四射、才华艳世的人物。他们不仅在建功立业上，看上去像，就连他们在本届世界杯上同生死，共命运的境况，也出奇地像。说他们共生死，就是挑战他们的对手比比皆是，个个虎视眈眈；说他们共命运，就是他们必须化腐朽为神奇，将绝世的才华，喷涌而出。

The similarities are uncanny and both the player, Messi, and his manager, Maradona, deserve plaudits of the highest order. Not for looking like the finished article, but in the risk and reward from this game. Risk in playing so many attacking players, and sending out a warning. Reward in the soaring confidence it will have created。

Messi had a superb game, top level in every aspect, apart from failing to score. One of my fears was that a bad opening game could see the camp riven with arguments. But this was an impressive win, with Messi as band leader。

Maradona played 4-3-3, which allowed Messi greater freedom and caused confusion for Nigeria because they were unable to track him or man-mark him. From the managerial perspective, I take my hat off to Diego for having the courage to begin in such fashion。

With three up front — Messi, Carlos Tévez and Gonzalo Higuaín - and such an attacking player in Angel Di Maria on the left of midfield, Maradona has sent out a message. Let's see how many other managers have the courage to start with three up front?

Messi was difficult to mark, deliberately showing how dangerous he was from the start by taking on four defenders inside four minutes, cunningly dragging players who followed him out of position. And because Diego played only one defensive midfielder, Messi tracked back and defended, even showing his brilliance in tackling and winning the ball back。

The possession for Argentina's midfield was huge; very, very positive in principle for an opening game in a tournament like this, where you want momentum to build。

There will be tougher fixtures, of course, but Argentina can be much better than this because there are clearly things to build on. The passing and interplay in midfield and up front was a delight. And in the centre of it all, pulling the strings, the Jabulani glued to his left foot, Messi the wonderboy, still only 22.

He'll strain every sinew at this World Cup. And this was only a stretch. He plays so easily, just like Maradona. I saw Maradona in him in the way he suddenly sees spaces others cannot see, and as Diego did with an opportunity, he seizes it, goes at you, and you are a dead man。

There was one 50-yard run which ended in a corner, all left-sided, which was Diego in mirror-image. It won't have been lost on the old master, either。

Nigeria surprised me. They were naive; their formation played to Argentina's strengths. No answers, no clear plan. They were never in the game. Were they defending deep? Putting pressure on? It should have been a special game for them. I thought they would be more forward-thinking. It was like a warm-up game for Argentina, who finished like it was a training session. If I'm harsh, it was Argentina v Vincent Enyeama. If not for the Nigeria goalkeeper, Messi would have had a hat-trick。

Goals will come for Messi at this World Cup. It will happen. He has scored four hat-tricks and 47 goals for Barcelona this season, but is less prolific for Argentina. Yet he takes pressure unbelievably well. Messi played in a comfort blanket and had

乔布斯遗作 苹果将推出全功能电视

The end of remote controls? Apple's TV 'to be voice controlled'

It might spell the end of fiddling

around for remote controls in between

the sofa cushions.

The upcoming big Apple TV will use

iPhone's Siri 'personal assistant' as

its main control method - and will use

touch control as a back up.

Leaks from Apple's manufacturing

chain say that Apple has been working

on prototype sets since September -

according to a design blueprint laid

down by late CEO Steve Jobs. His

'eureka' moment was realising that

Siri's voice control could be used to

'talk' to the set.

The quote 'I finally cracked it,' in

the recent biography by Walter

Isaacson was misquoted in recent

reports, reports the New York Times.

Jobs was referring to the realisation

that the television should be

voice-controlled - using the

natural-language algorithms of Siri

so that people talk to the set as they

would to someone sitting next to them

on the sofa.

Mr Jobs, who died earlier this month,

told author Walter Isaacson: 'It will

have the simplest user interface you

could imagine.'

Grads rise to challenge of life in the military

大学生热血从军记

走出校园，随即踏上工作岗位，这似乎已经是大学生的思维定势(thinking set)。然而，近来越来越多的人却开始选择从军这条道路，他们都有哪些不一样的经历呢？

You spend the first three months on strenuous training, confined within a campsite.

刚开始，你会被关在一处营地里进行三个月的艰苦训练。

You have to run five kilometers every morning, carrying a heavy rucksack and rifle. You mustn’t stop doing push-ups in the snow until your sweat melts the snow beneath your face.

每天早晨，你必须背着重重的帆布背包和步枪跑完5公里。你还必须要在雪地里连续不断地做俯卧撑，直到脸上的汗水滴下来将地上的雪融化。

Then you may be sent to any part of the country as a sentinel and be expected to stick to your post for the rest of your two-year military service. 接下来，你有可能会被派到全国任何一个地方去当哨兵，并会在两年的军旅生涯中一直坚守着这个岗位。

College students are expected to prefer safe and relatively comfortable office work to military life. However, an increasing number of college students have been attracted to a career in the military in recent years. 比起军队生活而言，大学生们本应该更喜欢安全且相对舒适的办公室工作。然而近年来，越来越多的大学生却开始对参军产生兴趣。

According to the China Education Daily, the army enrolled nearly 130,000 servicemen from college students and fresh grads in 2009. The number is 60 times bigger than that in 2001. It has been boosted by a series of preferential policies in terms of finance and employment.

《中国教育报》数据显示，2009年军队从在校大学生和应届毕业生中共招收了13万名军人。这一数字与2001年相比要高出60倍。而正是一系列待遇和就业方面的优待政策推动了这一数字的增加。

Nationwide enlistment this year will start on November 1. Tens of thousands of college students and grads have applied.

今年，全国征兵已于11月1号开始。已有数以万计的在校大学生及毕业生报名参军。

With pampering parents and a recovering job market, many of these

soldiers-to-be of the post-90s are not going for the preferential policies. They are looking for friendship and a physical and mental challenge. 就业市场已逐渐复苏，因此许多备受父母呵护的90后准士兵们并非冲着优待政策而来。他们只为寻求友情，同时经历身体与精神上的挑战。

Zhang Yang, 20, a sophomore at Shenyang University, will be excited when he sees war films showing soldiers’ heroic actions and their comradeship. 20岁的张阳(音译)是沈阳大学大二学生，每当看到彰显战士英勇之举和战友情深的战争片，他就会兴奋不已。

“To be honest, we people of the post 90s tend to be self-centered and hot-tempered because many of us are the spoiled only child in our

families,” said Zhang. He has found it difficult to make close friends on campus.

张阳说：“坦白讲，我们90后往往会以自我为中心，脾气也很臭。这是因为我们很多人都是备受家人溺爱的独生子女。”他发现在校园里很难结交挚友。 “It may be easier for me to find a buddy at the campsite where my comrades-in-arms and I will share tough training together.”

“在营地里可能会更容易结交到好兄弟，在那里战友们将和将一起接受艰苦训练。”

Zhang is prepared for exhausting military exercises. But the biggest challenge may come from adapting to the strict discipline and hierarchy. 张阳已经准备好迎接疲惫的军事训练了。但最大的挑战可能在于如何去适应严格的纪律和上下级制度。

Yu Bi’er, 24, joined the army in 2009 as a fresh college grad. She is now a member of the naval art ensemble in Guangzhou.

24岁的俞碧儿(音译)2009年大学刚毕业时就选择了参军。现在，她是广州海军艺术团的一员。

Yu has a strict timetable for her mealtimes, showers and time spent watching TV. There is little time left for herself. She needs to ask for the squad leader’s permission when she wants to go to the washroom. 俞碧儿对于吃饭，洗澡和看电视的有一套严格的时间表。留给自己的时间也是少之又少。就连去洗手间，她都需要事先征得班长的同意。

Like many new recruits enlisted from college students and graduates, Yu had a squad leader who was much younger than her. The leader had joined the army much earlier after graduating from high school.

和许多新入伍的大学生或毕业生一样，俞碧儿有一个年龄比自己小很多的班长。这位班长自打高中毕业后就入伍了。

“We have to act in unquestioning obedience to the orders of our superior. We say yes whatever the order is,” said Yu. The leader gave an order, and off Yu went to fetch water for her.

“我们必须无条件服从上级的命令，无论是什么命令我们都要表示服从。”俞碧儿说。班长一声令下，俞碧儿就得去给她打水。

The rules may seem inhuman, but they are not unreasonable. Great discipline is required in war and in disaster relief.

这些规章制度可能显得不够人性化，但它们并非毫无道理。战争和救灾行动中都要求有严格的纪律。

Zhao Feng (not his real name), 24, took part in a mine disaster relief when he served the army in Leshan, Sichuan.

24岁的赵峰（化名)在四川乐山军队服役期间曾参加过一次矿难的救援行动。 Zhao was struck dumb when he carried corpses for the first time. But he managed to carry out the clean-up because, without thinking, he did what his commander ordered.

那是他第一次搬运尸体，赵峰被吓呆了。但他还是圆满地完成了清理工作，因为他要毫不犹豫地听从指挥官的命令。

According to Zhao, life in military campsites is not monotonous. Besides training, soldiers can enjoy movies and perform onstage in speaking contests.

赵峰表示，军营生活并不单调。在训练之余，士兵们还可以看电影，参加演讲比赛上台表演。

“But I have lost contact with the outside world in the past two years,” Zhao admits. He is not allowed to use a cell phone, let alone the Internet. The only TV program available is Xinwen Lianbo, China Central Television’s daily news broadcast at 7 pm.

“但在过去的两年里，我与外界失去了联系。”赵峰承认。使用手机是不允许的，更不用说上网了。唯一能看到的电视节目就是中央电视台每晚7点都会播放的《新闻联播》。

Zhao Yang, 25, had the same problem when he finished his two-year military service in Shanxi and returned to Beijing last year. But he was confident about job-hunting and soon got a job in a securities agency.

25岁的赵阳(音译)去年结束了驻山西的两年军旅生涯，他返回北京后也遇到了同样的问题。但他对找工作很有信心，并很快就在一家证券公司找到了工作。

面对欧洲监管阻力，优步态度强硬

Uber Executive Talks Tough on Europe

来源：纽约时报 2015-07-22

LONDON — In its continuing regulatory standoff with European policy makers, Uber, the ride-booking company, is not backing down. 伦敦——叫车公司优步(Uber)与欧洲政策制定者之间的对峙一直持续，现在它也不会退让。

That was the message on Monday from Mark MacGann, Uber’s head of European policy, who stressed that the company would continue to take legal action against countries that tried to ban some of its services. 周一，优步欧洲政策负责人马克·麦克甘恩(Mark MacGann)对外界传达了以上的态度。他强调，该公司会继续通过法律途径，与试图禁止该公司部分服务的国家对抗。

“If governments take decisions that we believe are contrary to European law, then of course we will have to decide what to do next,” Mr. MacGann told reporters on Monday when asked about future legal action. “Regulation in some countries was written decades ago before we all carried smartphones in our pockets.” “如果我们认为政府的决定违反了欧洲法律，那我们当然必须要想，下一步该怎么做，”麦克甘恩周一在被问及未来的司法行动时，对记者这样说。“有些国家的法规是几十年前制定的，那时我们兜里都还没有装着智能手机。” Mr. MacGann’s comments came days after a case about UberPop, the company’s low-cost ride-booking service, was referred to Europe’s highest court, the European Court of Justice. The pending legal case could clear up much of the legal uncertainty surrounding Uber’s business in the region. 麦克甘恩发表此番言论几天前，涉及该公司的低价叫车服务UberPop的一宗诉讼被提交至欧洲的最高法院欧洲法院(European Court of Justice)。这场正在审理的诉讼，或许能扫除在欧洲地区困扰优步业务的一些不确定的法律因素。

The legal case, which the judges will not rule on for at least 18 months, could provide a pan-European ruling on whether UberPop is legal across the 28-member European Union — a decision that could potentially overrule several national and citywide bans of the service. It was referred to the European Court of Justice last week by a Spanish judge. 虽然至少在未来的18个月内，法官都不会对这起诉讼做出判决，但它可能会为28个欧盟成员国里UberPop是否合法，提供一个涵盖整个欧洲的裁决——这个裁决有可能推翻几个国家和城市对于该服务的禁令。该案是上周由一个西班牙法官提交到欧洲法院的。

Uber, which allows drivers to connect with potential passengers through a smartphone

application, has been facing a number of regulatory hurdles across the European Union. 优步使驾驶员与潜在客户可以通过智能手机应用互相联系，该公司在许多欧盟国家都面临一些监管方面的障碍。

In late June, French taxi drivers held violent protests in many cities against the rise of UberPop. The company later agreed to shut down the service temporarily. 今年6月底，法国出租车司机针对UberPop的兴起，在许多城市发起了暴力抗议。优步公司后来同意暂停该项服务。

Other European cities and national governments, in the Netherlands, Germany and Spain, among other countries, have banned some of Uber’s offerings, saying they represent unfair competition for taxi drivers. 欧洲其他城市和国家的政府，如荷兰、德国、西班牙等一些国家，禁止了优步的一些服务，认为优步对出租车司机构成了不公平的竞争。 Many global policy makers also have taken a negative view on Uber, which is now valued at more than $40 billion. Most recently, New York officials have proposed capping the

number of cars that the likes of Uber can have on the road, in a bid to reduce traffic congestion. 世界上许多政策制定者，也对当前估值400亿美元的优步持负面看法。最近，纽约政府提出，对于允许上路的优步车数量设置上限，以减轻交通拥堵状况。

In addition to waiting for a decision from Europe’s top court, Uber has filed legal cases against France, Germany and Spain over bans on its low-cost service. It also has asked the European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, to weigh in on whether

national governments have the right to ban the company’s offerings. 除了等待欧洲法院的裁决，优步还就法国、德国、西班牙政府对其低价服务颁布的禁令发起了诉讼。该公司也要求欧盟行政机构欧盟委员会(European Commission)，就成员国政府是否有权禁止其业务发表意见。

And Mr. MacGann told reporters on Monday that the company would consider further legal action against governments that tried to clamp down on Uber’s services. 麦克甘恩周一告诉记者，对于试图打压优步业务的政府，公司会考虑进一步采取法律行动。

“There are outdated rules used across Europe to squash competition,” Mr. MacGann said. “Uber completely supports regulation. But rules need to be based on what’s good for users and drivers, not existing taxi companies.” “在欧洲各地，官方使用过时的规定压制竞争，”麦克甘恩说。“优步完全支持监管，但监管规则需要建立在让消费者和司机受益的基础上，而非现有的出租车公司。”

Top" and "Bright Eyes" and later served as US ambassador to Ghana and Czechoslovakia.

Temple Black died of natural causes Monday at her home in Woodside, Calif., her publicist confirmed to NBC News early Tuesday.

"She was surrounded by her family and caregivers," a statement released by her family said. "We salute her for a life of remarkable achievements as an actor, as a diplomat, and... our beloved mother, grandmother [and] great-grandmother."

Born in Santa Monica, Calif., in April 1928, Temple Black was enrolled in dance school at the age of three. After a number of bit parts she stole the show with her rendition of “Baby Take a Bow” in her first feature film, "Stand Up and Cheer."

Audiences around the world flocked to see her in films such as "Curly Top," "The Little Colonel" and "The Littlest Rebel." Licensed merchandise including dolls, dishes, and clothing also capitalized on her wholesome image.

Temple Black was the top box-office draw for four years in a row between 1935 and 1938. She won a special Academy Award in early 1935 for her "outstanding contribution to screen entertainment" in the previous year.

At the height of her fame, Temple Black earned praise from President Franklin D. Roosevelt who called her "Little Miss Miracle" for raising the public's morale during times of economic hardship, even going so far as to say that, "as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right."

She even had a drink named after her, an appropriately sweet and innocent cocktail of ginger ale and grenadine, topped with a maraschino cherry.

However, the star's popularity waned in her late teens. She married Charles Black in 1950, a marriage that lasted until his death in 2005 at age 86.

Temple Black went on to sit on the boards of corporations and organizations including the Walt Disney Company, Del Monte and the National Wildlife Federation. She unsuccessfully ran for Congress as a Republican in 1967. She was appointed as America’s ambassador to Ghana in 1974.

在大萧条最严重的时期崭露头角，成名影片作品有《海蒂》、《小卷毛》、《亮眼睛》，后来担任美国驻加纳和捷克斯洛伐克大使。

邓波儿周一在加利福尼亚州伍德赛德的家中自然死亡，她的公关周二早间与美国全国广播公司确认了这一事实。 邓波儿的家人发布的一则公告中说道：“她是在家人和护理人员的环绕中去世的，作为一名演员、一位外交官和我们亲爱的母亲、祖母和曾祖母，她这一生取得了非凡的成就，我们向她致敬。”

秀兰·邓波儿1928年四月出生于加利福尼亚州的圣塔莫尼卡市，三岁就进入舞蹈学校学习。

在演了几个小角色后，她在她的第一部故事片《起立欢呼》中饰演《宝贝答谢》片段，在其中大放异彩。

全世界的观众都蜂拥到电影院观看她的电影，如《小卷毛》、《小上校》和《小叛逆》。许多特许商品，包括布娃娃、餐盘、衣服，都利用邓波儿健康的形象而大卖特卖。 1935年至1938年间，邓波儿一连四年稳居最高票房宝座。1935年初她因为上一年“对电影娱乐事业做出的突出贡献”获得了奥斯卡特别金像奖。

在她声名如日中天之时，邓波儿还受到了罗斯福总统的表

In 1988, Temple Black became the first person to achieve the rank of honorary Foreign Service officer of the United States and a year later she took up the post of ambassador to Czechoslovakia, where she served until 1992.

In 1999, the American Film Institute ranking of the top 50 screen legends ranked Temple at No. 18 among the 25 actresses.

"I have one piece of advice for those of you who want to receive the lifetime achievement award. Start early," she quipped in 2006 as she was honored by the Screen Actors Guild.

Temple Black is survived by children Linda Susan, Charlie Jr. and Lori, along with granddaughter Teresa and two great-granddaughters Lily and Emma.

彰。罗斯福总统叫她“奇迹小姐”，因为她在经济困难时期振奋了大众的精神，甚至说道“只要我们的国家有秀兰·邓波儿，我们就会好起来的”。

还有一种饮料是用秀兰·邓波儿的名字命名的，这是一种清甜的鸡尾酒，为姜汁汽水和石榴汁的混合饮料，顶层是一颗马拉斯奇诺樱桃。 不过，这位明星在十五岁以后就没有那么红了。

邓波儿在20世纪50年代嫁给了查尔斯·布莱克，这段婚姻一直持续到2005年查尔斯86岁去世。

邓波儿后来成为多家公司和机构的董事，包括迪斯尼公司、食品企业德尔蒙特公司和美国野生动物联盟。她曾在1967年作为共和党人参与国会议员竞选，不过失败了。1974年她被任命为美国驻加纳大使。

1988年，邓波儿成为首个获得美国荣誉外交官头衔的人，一年之后，她开始担任美国驻捷克斯洛伐克大使一职，一直到1992年。

1999年，美国电影学会评选出的50大银幕传奇人物榜单的25位女演员中，邓波儿排在第18位。

2006年，当她获得美国演员工会奖时，她俏皮地说道：“对于那些想获得终生成就奖的人，我有一条建议：出名要趁

早。”

邓波儿先于她的孩子琳达·苏珊、小查理和劳瑞、孙女特蕾莎和两个重孙女莉莉和艾玛离世。

史蒂芬·霍金：这世上根本没有黑洞

Wait, so my life may not have disappeared down a black hole after all?

There is a chance for it to emerge and bloom like the career of David Hasselhoff?

It's charming when a phrase enters the language and we think we all know what it means. In the case of "black hole," we think of an infinity of black

查看译文

等等，你刚才是说，我不会被黑洞所吞噬？ 你还说，那黑洞有可能，会在出现之后就不断扩大，蓬勃发展，就像当年大卫·哈塞尔霍夫（David Hasselhoff）的演艺事业以飞速迅猛壮大一般？

说来这也是一件有意思的事：每当一个新词诞生，我们都以为自己很清楚它的意思。拿“黑洞”举例，每当有人提到这个词，我们就会立刻想到一个无穷大的黑色虚无，将滑落进去的一切吞噬。

但现在，史蒂芬·霍金（Stephen Hawking）在他刚刚发表的一篇名为《黑洞的信息存储与

nothingness that swallows everything that slips into it.

But now, in a new paper called "Information Preservation and Weather Forecasting for Black Holes," Stephen Hawking has cast the cat among the black, holey pigeons and caused a scattering of incomprehension. His precise words were: "The absence of event horizons mean that there are no black holes -- in the sense of regimes from which light can't escape to infinity."

It seems clear. There are no forever and ever holes of blackness. There is always the chance that light might emerge.

Hawking continued, however: "There are however apparent horizons which persist for a period of time. This suggests that black holes should be redefined as metastable bound states of the gravitational field."

So there are black holes. It's just that we should redefine them a touch. So what's this apparent horizon?

Well, it's "a surface along which light rays attempting to rush away from the black hole's core will be suspended." But if they're suspended, they will never emerge, stuck in solitary confinement like the Man in the Iron Mask. The result is surely still the same. Once something disappears into a black hole, it's done for.

At times of existential stress like these, I turn to Nature magazinefor help. It suggests that, at least in theory (and,

气象预报》（Information Preservation and Weather Forecasting for Black Holes）的论文中，宣称黑洞并不存在——此语一出，石破天惊，立即掀起一片质疑与不解。 不妨让我们来看看他的原话：“事件视界的缺失意味着‘黑洞’——一种能使光永远无法逃离的物理环境——其实并不存在。”

听上去，这话已经说的很清楚了。这世上从来没有什么黑洞，因为光总有可能逃逸出来。 但霍金继续说道：“不过，可见视界仍然是存在的，并且可以持续存在一段时间。而这就意味着，传统的黑洞概念可以被重新定义为拥有亚稳定边界的引力场。”

所以说还是有黑洞的了？只是，我们需要稍稍修改一下之前给它下的定义。那么，到底什么是霍金所说的“可见视界”呢？

嗯，它的定义是这样的：可见视界是“一种表面，当试图逃出黑洞内核的光线处在它的附近时，光线便会处于悬停状态”。

但是，一旦光线处于悬停状态，他们也将如同影片《铁面人》（The Man in the Iron Mask（1998））中的“铁面犯人”一般，被囚禁在密不透风的牢笼里，永远无法逃脱。这样来看，光线的结局必然也将和传统黑洞理论所得出的结论一样——任何东西，一旦消失在黑洞中，那里便将是它永远的归宿。

想到这里，一阵无力感涌上心头，于是，我转而试着去搜寻科学杂志《自然》（Nature）上对黑洞的解释。而那上面则说，至少在理论上（是的，我们不得不承认，所有这些假说都还停留在理论层面），黑洞是有可能在某种特定的情况下消失的。 不过，这杂志上刊载的来自加拿大埃德蒙顿大学的物理学家唐·佩奇（Don Page）的一席话又让人倍感沮丧，他说，一些极小的微粒仍旧存在从黑洞里逃逸的可能。 噢，准备好欢呼了吗？

别急，他还没说完呢。这之后他又说，即使是这些微粒成功逃逸，“那将比想着把一本已被你烧成灰烬的书恢复成原样的尝试还糟”。 哈，这感觉我倒是似曾相识呢！ （译者 风语河岸柳 编辑 丹妮）

Martian rock found in Sahara contains more water 2013.1

Scientists are abuzz about a coal-colored rock from Mars that landed in the Sahara desert.

A yearlong analysis revealed it’s quite different from other Martian meteorites.

一块从火星坠落到撒哈拉沙漠的“黑美人”陨石引起科学家们的热议。长达一年的分析显示，和其它火星石相比，这块陨石与众不同。

Not only is it older than most, the baseball-size meteorite also contains more water. Researchers performed a battery of tests on the meteorite, and based on its chemical signature, confirmed that it was blasted to Earth from Mars.

莱索托矿区发现世界最大钻石Lesotho mine yields one of world's largest diamonds [ 2008-09-22 14:38 ]

Miners in the southern African kingdom of Lesotho have found one of the world's largest diamonds, a near-flawless

white gem weighing nearly

500 carats, mining group Gem Diamonds said on Sunday.

The diamond was discovered in the Letseng Mine on September 8, the company said in a statement. It has been analyzed by experts in Antwerp and found to weigh 478 carats, with very few inclusions and of outstanding color and clarity.

"It has the potential to yield one of the largest flawless D color round polished diamonds in history," the company said.

Letseng is one of the most productive mines in history -- four of the world's 20 largest rough diamonds have been found at the mine, including the three largest found this century.

Before it is cut into gems it is hard to value the diamond, but a spokesman for Gem Diamonds said a similar weight stone with lesser-quality color and clarity had recently sold for $12 million (around 5.5 million pounds).

"Preliminary examination of this remarkable diamond indicates that it will yield a record breaking polished stone of the very best color and clarity," Clifford Elphick, the chief executive of Gem Diamonds, said in a statement.

The minister for natural resources in Lesotho praised the productivity of the mine, one of the

highest in the world at more than 3,000 meters

（英国）杰姆钻石公司于上周日称，日前他们在非洲南部的莱索托王国发现了一颗世界上最大的钻石。这颗白钻近乎无暇，重近500克拉。

杰姆钻石公司在一份声明中称，这颗钻石于本月8日在莱索托的莱特森矿发现。经（比利时）安特卫普的专家们鉴定，这颗钻石重达478克拉，含极少杂质，色泽和纯净度都极佳。

据该公司介绍：“它有望被打造成历史上最大的、无暇D级色泽圆形抛光钻石之一。”

莱特森矿是历史上产量最高的钻石矿之一。目前全球20颗最大的原钻中有四颗产自这里，其中有三颗发现于本世纪。 钻石在切割前很难估价，但据杰姆钻石公司的一位发言人介绍，一颗类似重量、色泽和纯净度稍逊的钻石最近以1200万美元（550万英镑）的价格售出。 公司首席执行官克里福德•艾尔菲克在一份声明中说：“初步鉴定结果表明，这颗钻石抛光后，其色泽和纯净度有望达到破纪录的等级。”

莱特森矿海拔3000多米（1万英尺），是世界上地势最高的钻石矿之一。莱索托自然资源大臣高度评价了它的生产能力。 蒙莫尼亚内•莫莱莱基在一份声明中说：“莱特森矿再次证明了其出产非凡钻石的能力，并巩固了莱索托钻石出产大国的地位。”

(10,000 feet).

"Once again Letseng has proved its ability to produce extraordinary diamonds and continues to place Lesotho at the forefront of diamond producing countries," Monyane Moleleki said in a statement. The world's largest diamond is the Cullinan,

discovered in South Africa in 1905. It weighed more than 3,100 carats before it was cut into more than one hundred separate gems, many of which are part of the British crown jewels.

目前全球最大的钻石是1905年在南非发现的一颗名为“Cullinan”的原钻。这颗原钻重量超过3100克拉，之后被切割成100多颗小钻，其中很多被用在了英国女王的王冠上。

研究：开车时发短信比酒后驾车更危险Texting drivers more dangerous than drunks: study [ 2008-09-22 09:31 ]

Sending text messages from your mobile phone while driving is more dangerous than climbing behind the wheel under the

influence of drink or drugs, a study by Britain's Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) has found. The reaction times of people texting as they drove fell by 35 percent, while those who had consumed the legal limit of alcohol, or taken cannabis, fell by 21 percent and 12 percent respectively, according to the study.

The study, which was commissioned by motoring group RAC Foundation, also found that the ability to stay in lanes or maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front was worse than drivers under the influence of cannabis.

"This research demonstrates how dangerous it is to drive and text," TRL Senior Human Factors Researcher Nick Reed said in a statement.

He said drivers who texted were distracted by

英国交通研究实验室（TRL）日前开展的一项研究发现，开车时发短信比酒后或服药后开车更危险。

研究显示，开车时发短信的人反应能力会下降35%，而少量饮酒后驾车或者服用过大麻的人则分别下降21%和12%。 此外，该项受“英国皇家飞行俱乐部（RAC）基金会驾驶组”委托开展的研究发现，开车时发短信的人控制车道和保持安全车距的能力比服用了大麻的司机差。 “交通研究实验室人为因素组”资深研究员尼克•里德在一份声明中说：“这项研究表明，开车时发短信有多么危险。”

他说，如果你在开车时发短信，就必须从方向盘上腾出一只手来去拿手机查看信息，还要想着如何回复，这都会分散你的注意力。

里德在接受采访时说：“这几个因素会影响司机的反应速度和对

taking their hand off the wheel to use their phone, by trying to read small text on the phone display and by thinking about how to write their message. "This combination of factors resulted in the impairments to reaction time and vehicle control that place the driver at a greater risk than having consumed alcohol to the legal limit for driving," Reed told reporters.

One conclusion researchers made about why texting is so dangerous is the length of time it takes to compose a message while driving.

车的控制能力，由此产生的风险比少量饮酒后开车还要大。” 为什么开车时发短信如此危险呢？研究人员得出的结论是，问题就出在编写短信的那段时间。 交通实验室称，开车时编写一条短信需要63秒的时间，而车在63秒内可在市区行驶半英里，在高速公路上则可行驶一英里以上。

“英国皇家飞行俱乐部基金会”开

The TRL said that composing a text message

behind the wheel took 63 seconds, in which time a car travels half a mile within town centre speed limits and over a mile within motorway speed limits. Nearly half of all 18-24 year-olds admitted to texting as they drove, a separate survey by the RAC Foundation discovered.

The TRL study selected 17 people from the 18-24 year-old age group to take part in a simulated road test, in which they were asked to read, write, and ignore texts on a variety of roads.

"The participants in this study were almost

unanimous in their view that drink-driving was the most dangerous action on the road," RAC Director Stephen Glaister said.

展的另一项调查显示，在18岁至24岁的受访者中，近一半的人承认自己在开车时发过短信。 交通研究试验室从这一年龄段的受访者中挑选了17人参加一个模拟驾驶测试，要求他们在不同的路况下查看、编写或不看短信。

英国皇家飞行俱乐部主管斯蒂芬•格莱斯特说：“受访者几乎一致认为酒后驾车最危险。 而研究结果清楚地表明，开车时发短信的人比酒后驾车的人反应要迟钝得多。”

格莱斯特在声明中说：“酒后驾车

He said the research clearly showed that a motorist

who is texting is significantly more impaired than a motorist at the legal limit for alcohol.

"No responsible motorist would drink and drive," Glaister said in the statement. "We need to ensure that text devotees understand that texting is one of the most hazardous things that can be done while in charge of a motor car."

是不负责任的表现。所以我们要让爱发短信的人意识到，发短信是他们开车时最危险的行为之一。”

福布斯》美国富豪榜： 盖茨归来Bill Gates king of US rich list again: Forbes

[ 2008-09-19 15:28 ]

Microsoft founder Bill Gates has recovered his spot at the top of the US money heap, displacing investor Warren Buffett as America's richest person, Forbes

magazine's latest list reveals.

With 57 billion dollars net worth Gates again leads the list of 400 richest individuals in the world's wealthiest country.

He displaced Buffett who briefly held the position this year but who has seen his Berkshire Hathaway investment group's shares slip 15 percent since February and is now worth 50 billion.

According to Forbes, whose list was published late Wednesday, the golden 400 have 1.3 billion dollars net worth or more. However, their combined net worth rose only 30 billion dollars, or two percent, to 1.57 trillion dollars.

Forbes said that rising oil and dizzy art prices fuelled the entry of 31 new members into the ultra-rich club and the return of eight previous members.

A notable arrival was Mark Zuckerberg, 24, founder of the social networking site Facebook. Forbes estimates his worth at 1.5 billion dollars.

Newcomers ranged from fertilizer tycoon Alexander Rovt to Patron tequila founder John Paul DeJoria and Norman Braman, the car dealer and art collector.

Meanwhile, turmoil on the stock and housing markets saw 33 others drop off the list, including the former head of the troubled insurance giant AIG, Maurice Greenberg, and a former head of the online

《福布斯》杂志日前发布最新美国富豪榜，微软集团创始人比尔•盖茨取代“股神”沃伦·巴菲特，重夺首富桂冠。

在这份全球最富国家的“400大富豪榜”上，盖茨以570亿美元的净资产荣登榜首。

今年早些时候，首富交椅一度为巴菲特占据，不过他所持有的波克夏•哈萨威公司的股票的价值自今年2月以来跌了15%，目前仅值500亿美元。

据《福布斯》介绍，今年上榜的400位富豪净资产至少达13亿美元。然而，今年400位富豪的总资产达1.57万亿美元，较之去年仅增300亿美元，增幅仅为2%。《福布斯》于本周三晚些时候发布了该榜。

《福布斯》称，油价上涨和工艺品价格的走高让31位新富首次跻身该榜，曾经上榜的八位富豪也趁势回归。

其中Facebook社交网站创始人、24岁的马克•扎克伯格成为榜上最大的亮点，他的身价约达15亿美元。

其他上榜的新富包括“化肥”大亨亚历山大•罗夫特、Patron龙舌兰酒业集团创始人约翰•保尔•德约里尔和汽车经销商兼艺术收藏家诺曼•布拉曼。

同时，股市的动荡和房地产市场的不景气让33位富豪跌出榜单，其中包括濒临破产的保险业巨头AIG（美国国际集团）前总裁莫里斯•格林伯格和在线拍卖网

auction site eBay, Margaret Whitman. Biggest gainers were led by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg who took eighth place with 20 billion dollars worth after a transaction put a new value on his Bloomberg media and financial data network.

The biggest loser was casino tycoon Sheldon Adelson, whose fortune fell 13 billion dollars over 12 months -- the equivalent to 1.5 million dollars an hour -- although he still has 15 billion dollars and occupies 15th place.

About two thirds of the list are self-made billionaires and just over 10 percent are women, led by

television star Oprah Winfrey whose fortune rose 200 million dollars to 2.7 billion dollars.

而最大的赢家当属排行第八、资产达200亿美元的纽约市市长迈克尔•布卢姆伯格，此前他做的一笔交易（从美林公司回购彭博股票）使他的彭博财经传媒集团资产大增。

最大的输家则是赌博业大亨谢尔登•阿德尔森，他的个人净资产在过去一年中暴跌130亿美元（相当于1小时150万美元），不过他还是以150亿美元的身价名列排行榜第15位。 榜上约三分之二的富豪靠白手起家，此外，女富豪所占比例超过10%，其中脱口秀“名嘴”奥普拉•温芙瑞的个人财富从2亿美元增至27亿美元，成为榜上最富的女性。

关于UFO的双语新闻篇十：几则热点双语新闻

几则热点双语新闻.txt不相信永远,不拥有期待,不需要诺言当你不能再拥有的时候，唯一可以做的，就是令自己不要忘记。王子之所以能口奂酉星目垂美人是因为王子用心了 我能口奂酉星什么 为什么有才华的穷人这么多

I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than 100,000 a year.

我常常吃惊，为什么有才华的人却只有微薄的收入。前几天我听人说，只有不到5％的美国人年收入在10万美元以上。

A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors, dentists and chiropractors struggle financially. All this time, I thought that when they graduated, the dollars would pour in. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, "They are one skill away from great wealth." What this phrase means is that most people need only to learn and master one more skill and their income would jump exponentially.

一位精通药品贸易的商务顾问曾经告诉我，有许多医生、牙医和按摩师生活拮据。以前我总以为他们一毕业，财源便会滚滚而来。这位商务顾问告诉了我一句话：“离发大财，他们还差一项技能。”这句话的意思是说，大部分人还需多学习并掌握一项技能，他们的收入才能呈指数倍增长。

I have mentioned before that financial intelligence is a synergy of accounting, investing, marketing and law. Combine those four technical skills and making money with money is easier. When it comes to money, the only skill most people know is to work hard.

以前我提到过，财商是会计、投资、市场营销和法律方面的能力综合。将上述四种专业技能结合起来，以钱生钱就会更容易。说到钱，大部分人所知的唯一技能就是拼命工作。

When I graduated from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in 1969, my educated dad was happy. Standard Oil of California had hired me for its oil-tanker fleet. I had a great career ahead of me, yet I resigned after six months with the company and joined the Marine Corps to learn how to fly. My educated dad was devastated. Rich dad congratulated me.

1969年，我从美国海运学院毕业了。我那有学识的爸爸十分高兴，因为加州标准石油公司录用我为它的油轮队工作。尽管我的未来前程远大，但我还是在6个月后辞职离开了这家公司，加入海军陆战队去学习飞行。对此我那有学识的爸爸非常伤心，而富爸爸则祝贺我做出的决定。

Job security meant everything to my educated dad. Learning meant everything to my rich dad. Educated dad thought I went to school to learn to be a ship's officer. Rich dad knew that I went to school to study international trade. So as a student, I made cargo runs, navigating large freighters, oil tankers and passenger ships to the Far

East and the South Pacific. While most of my classmates, including Mike, were partying at their fraternity houses, I was studying trade, people and cultures in Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Korea and the Philippines. I also was partying, but it was not in any frat house. I grew up rapidly.

对于有学识的爸爸来说，稳定的工作就是一切。而对于富爸爸来说，学习才是一切。有学识的爸爸以为我上学是为了做一名船长，而富爸爸明白我上学是为了学习国际贸易。因此，在做学生时，我跑过货运、为前往远东及南太平洋的大型货轮、油轮和客轮导航。当我的大部分同班同学，包括迈克，在他们的联谊会会堂举办晚会的时候，我正在日本、泰国、新加坡、中国香港、越南、韩国和菲律宾学习贸易、人际关系和文化。我也参加晚会，但不去任何联谊会，我迅速地成熟起来了。

There is an old cliché that goes, "Job is an acronym for 'Just Over Broke.'" And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers "live within their means." They work and they pay the bills.

常言道，“工作（job）就是‘比破产强一点’的缩写”。然而不幸的是，这句话确实适用于千百万人，因为学校没有把财商看作是一种才智，大部分工人都“量入为出”：干活挣钱，支付账单。

Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn. Look down the road at what skills they want to acquire before choosing a specific profession and before getting trapped in the "Rat Race". Once people are trapped in the lifelong process of bill paying, they become like those little hamsters running around in those little metal wheels.Their little furry legs are spinning furiously, the wheel is turning furiously, but come tomorrow morning, they'll still be in the same cage: great job.

相反，我劝告年轻人在寻找工作时要看看能从中学到什么，而不是只看能挣到多少。在选择某种特定职业之前或是陷入 “老鼠赛跑（激烈的竞争）”之前，要好好掂量自己到底需要获得什么技能。一旦人们为支付账单而整天疲于奔命，就和那些在小铁轮里不停奔跑转圈的小老鼠一样了。老鼠的小毛腿跑得飞快，小铁轮也转得飞快，可到了第二天早上，他们发现自己依然困在同一个老鼠笼里，那就是：重要的工作。

When I ask the classes I teach, "How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?", almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, "So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald's makes more money than you?" The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems.

当我在自己教授的班级上问到“你们当中有多少人做的汉堡包能比麦当劳更好”时，几乎所有的学生都举起了手。我接着问，“如果你们当中大部分人都能做出比麦当劳更好的汉堡包，那为什么麦当劳比你们更能赚钱？” 答案是显而易见的：麦当劳拥有一套出色的运营体系。

The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. All too often, they're poor or struggle financially or earn less than they are capable of, not because of what they know but because of what they do not know. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

许多才华横溢的人之所以贫穷的原因，就是因为他们只是专心于做更好的汉堡包，而对运营体系几乎一无所知。世界上到处都是有才华的穷人。在很多情况下，他们之所以贫穷、生活拮据或者收入与其能力不相符，不是因为他们已知的东西而是因为他们未知的东西。他们只将注意力集中在提高和完善做汉堡包的技术上，却不注意提高有关汉堡包的销售和送货技能。

中国富二代：扶不起的阿斗？

据《今日美国》报道，袁庆鹏（音译）表示, 那些在经济改革中发迹的富人们变得忧心忡忡，他们担心自家从小娇生惯养的儿女无法守住家业。

According to USA Today, Yuan Qingpeng said the Chinese who have become rich under the economic reform movement in China are worried. They're worried their spoiled kids won't know how to hang on to the loot.

这些白手起家的先行者们改变了中国曾经一度走下坡路的商业。谈到这些开拓者的子女们，袁庆鹏说：“他们吃苦耐劳的精神以及实践能力远不如上辈。”

"Their ability to endure hardship and put things into practice is less than the first generation," Yuan says of the children of the rags-to-riches pioneers who have transformed China's once-moribund business landscape.

而他在北京开设管理研究院的目的正是基于此。

That's where his Beijing Business Management Scientific Research Institute comes in.

作为“富二代”培训机构之一，该机构旨在以授课的形式训练这些超级富豪的继承者。

The institute is among several that offer training courses to groom heirs of the super-rich, known here as the "wealthy second generation," in the ways of their class.

1月份，在富裕的广东省开展了一项企业家调查。结果显示，62%的人担心自己孩子无力接手家业。

A January survey of entrepreneurs in wealthy Guangdong Province revealed 62 percent most worried about their heirs' ability to take over.

这种忧虑恰恰给予某些机构提供了商机，于是包括袁庆鹏在内的一些人士纷纷开办针对“富二代”的培训项目。

Cashing in on such fears, entrepreneurs such as Yuan are expanding programs to train the twentysomethings abbreviated here as "Rich2G."

开设该课程的机构包括像北大、清华这样的知名院校，以及一些私人咨询公司。

Courses are offered by prestigious universities such as Peking and Tsinghua, and private consultancies.

中国的贫富差距不断加大，这使得富家子弟的“形象问题”备受关注。近来一些关于培训“富二代”的报道同样招致中国媒体的口诛笔伐。去年媒体曾曝光过一些“富二代”酒后飙车致使路人死亡的事件。

China's rich kids have an image problem in a nation riven by a growing gap between rich and poor. Recent reports on the training of wealthy heirs have excited plenty of critical comments in Chinese media, which last year highlighted the cases of some Rich2G whose love of the fast lane caused deaths by drunken driving in expensive cars.

《中国新贵》一书的作者大卫?古德曼说：“尽管人们喜欢从电视、书本上获知名人、富人的生活方式，但他们鄙视这些有钱人。”他表示，“富二代”培训课程的火暴也显示出商人们“渴望得到尊敬、渴望人们认可其社会地位”的心态。

"While people like reading or watching TV about the lives of the rich and famous, they look down on people who have made money," says David Goodman, the author of The New Rich in China. The boom in training courses shows that entrepreneurs "are desperate for respectability, desperate ... for people to recognize their social status," he says.

某商学院国际贸易专业讲师布里顿·纽曼说，西方有“一代创业、二代兴业、三代败业”这样的说法，他表示：“而在中国，到了第二代家业就已经难保了。”

In the West, there's a saying that the first generation builds the business, the second makes it a success, and the third wrecks it, says Briton Alex Newman, a lecturer in international business at a business school. "In China, it's happening in the second generation," Newman says.

但纽曼也表示“富二代”中尚有不少成功范例。他说：“他们非常好学，为家族事业努力打拼。也有调查显示，不少“富二代”并不愿接手家族生意，而选择自己创业。”

But there are also plenty of success stories, he says. "Many of them are very studious, working hard for their family business," Newman says. "Surveys indicate many are reluctant to take over, preferring to start their own companies," something Newman

advocates.

身为“富二代”至少还有一点可以聊以自慰：大多数年轻女性更愿意嫁给有钱人的后代。

The male Rich2Gers enjoy at least one consolation: A majority of women prefer to marry a wealthy heir.

美媒：中国人被电视相亲节目征服

自湖南卫视推出了婚恋交友真实秀节目《我们约会吧》(Take Me Out)，江苏卫视《非诚勿扰》开播收视飘红，多家卫视相继播出相亲或者交友类节目，一轮“相亲热”席卷荧屏。相亲节目的火爆，也让它成为了近期各大媒体关注的焦点。对中国的这种热潮，就连这类节目原产地美国的媒体《今日美国》也感到惊奇。

回想毛主席年代的艰苦岁月里，中国还只是个自行车王国。那时年轻男士通常会问意中人一个简单的问题：“你愿意让我骑自行车载你出去吗？”而这种求爱方式却很奏效。但现如今，北京模特马诺所追寻的却是高级轿车和豪华约会。

The young man had a simple question: "Would you often come riding with me on my bike?" It's the kind of line that worked for many suitors in China, the kingdom of bicycles, during its austere decades under Chairman Mao. But Ma Nuo, a Beijing model, seeks loftier transport and wealthier dates.

在国内收视最高的电视综艺节目中，她微笑着在数百万电视观众的注视下给对方一个让人无语的回答：就算约会出了问题，“我宁愿坐在宝马里哭”。像马诺这样22岁的“物质女孩”使《非诚勿扰》及其竞争对手《我们约会吧》一跃成为中国最著名的电视节目。

Even if a date went bad, "I'd rather cry in a BMW" was her giggling, withering rejection, watched by millions on China's top-rated TV entertainment show. Material girls such as Ma, 22, have rocketed If You Are the One and its rival dating show, Take Me Out, to the summit of Chinese television fame.

自1月份开播以来，两档节目成功引发了人们对中国年轻一代拜金主义的激烈讨论。然而，宣传期间却爆出一系列丑闻，先是有人爆料某些选手是托儿，后又有人在网上发布某选手的不雅照，而该选手声称自己是被逼的。 The programs, which both first aired in January, have generated discussion about money worship among China's younger generation. Publicity-generating scandals include allegations of fake contestants and nude photos, posted online, of one contestant, who says she was coerced.

百合网首席执行官田范江说，这类节目受欢迎很容易解释。田说：“中国有1.8亿单身者，他们自己和他们的父母都为婚姻问题担心。”

The shows' popularity is easy to explain, says Tian Fanjiang, CEO of baihe.com, a matchmaking website. "There are 180 million single people in China," Tian says. "They
