章瑩穎綁架案
Illinois kidnap case  

  University of Illinois police are asking the public's help to find a visiting scholar from China who has been missing from the Urbana-Champaign campus since Friday.

  伊利諾伊大學(xué)警方正向公眾尋求幫助,尋找一名就讀于厄巴納-香檳分校的中國訪問學(xué)者,該學(xué)生于6月9日失蹤。

  The FBI is investigating the disappearance of Yingying Zhang as a kidnapping.

  美國聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局正在將章瑩穎失蹤作為綁架案調(diào)查。

  Christensen, 28, was arrested on Friday in connection with Zhang's disappearance. He did not speak during a hearing at a federal courthouse in Urbana city, the U.S. state of Illinois. If convicted of the federal kidnapping charge, Christensen faces up to life in prison.

  克里斯滕森現(xiàn)年28歲,因涉嫌章瑩穎失蹤案于6月30日被警方逮捕。在伊利諾伊州厄巴納市聯(lián)邦法院的聆訊中,克里斯滕森一言未發(fā)。如果克里斯滕森被判綁架罪成立,則有可能面臨終身監(jiān)禁。

  A prosecutor described Christensen's alleged comments in which he spoke about what makes an "ideal victim" at his second court hearing Wednesday. Prosecutors also told the court that Christensen was recorded allegedly describing how Zhang "fought and resisted" during her abduction.

  在7月5日對克里斯滕森的第二次法庭聆訊中,公訴人提到克里斯滕森曾發(fā)表過有關(guān)“理想受害人”特質(zhì)的言論,并向法庭表明有錄音顯示章瑩穎在被綁架期間進(jìn)行了反抗。

  Christensen is being held without bond after the June kidnapping.

英國提前大選
UK snap/early general election  

  UK Prime Minister Theresa May has called a snap general election for 8 June, taking the country by surprise.

  英國首相特蕾莎·梅宣布6月8日進(jìn)行提前大選,全國一片嘩然。

  The previous election was in 2015, so another was not due until 2020.

  英國上次大選于2015年舉行,下次大選原定2020年舉行。

  May is on Wednesday met Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace to officially inform her of the dissolution of Parliament. Under the British law, the Parliament must be dissolved at least 25 working days before a general election.

  5月3日,梅相在白金漢宮覲見了女王伊麗莎白二世,正式告知她解散議會。根據(jù)英國法律,議會必須在距大選開始前至少25個(gè)工作日解散。

  The U.K. general election ended Friday in a "hung parliament," where no single party holds a majority. With 646 seats out of 650 declared, May's Conservative Party has won 315 seats, making it impossible for the ruling party to keep its majority in parliament.

  6月9日,英國大選結(jié)束,無任何黨派獲得多數(shù)席位,英國出現(xiàn)“懸浮議會”。650個(gè)議席中有646個(gè)已公布結(jié)果,其中梅相的保守黨贏得315個(gè)席位,該執(zhí)政黨并未獲得議會的多數(shù)席位。

  Following the result, May has confirmed she is seeking a coalition with the Democratic Unionist Party.

柯潔大戰(zhàn)AlphaGo
Ke Jie against AlphaGo  

  In the first of several games being held in China this week, a revamped AlphaGo defeated Ke Jie, a Chinese grandmaster who currently ranks as the game's number one player.

  本周,一系列圍棋比賽在中國舉行。第一場人機(jī)大戰(zhàn)中,升級后的AlphaGo擊敗中國圍棋大師柯潔,而柯潔是當(dāng)前世界圍棋冠軍。

  AlphaGo has again defeated Ke Jie in their second and third games. Besides demonstrating the software's mastery over the abstract and intuitive board game, the contest reveals how the machine-learning techniques that underpin AlphaGo are developing.

  隨后,AlphaGo在第二場及第三場比賽中再次擊敗柯潔。這場比賽不僅展示了計(jì)算機(jī)軟件在這一抽象、直覺性棋盤游戲方面的高超技藝,也顯示了支撐AlphaGo的機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)技術(shù)的不斷進(jìn)步。

  "Huge respect to Ke Jie for pushing AlphaGo to its limits," said Demis Hassabis, cofounder and CEO of DeepMind. "I see AlphaGo as a tool for Go players and the Go community to explore the truth of Go, and to find out more."

  “我十分敬佩柯潔,他推動著AlphaGo不斷突破極限,”DeepMind公司聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人兼CEO戴密斯·哈薩比斯表示,“我把AlphaGo看作棋手和圍棋界的工具,從而探尋圍棋的真諦,并探索其他可能?!?br />

  The Belt and Road Forum concluded in Beijing on Monday, with delegates from around the world pledging to revive the Silk Road. Xi also announced Beijing's second Belt and Road forum to be held in 2019.

  5月15日,“一帶一路”論壇在北京落幕,各國代表承諾復(fù)興絲綢之路。中國國家主席習(xí)近平同時(shí)宣布,第二屆中國“一帶一路”論壇將于2019年舉行。

  The forum started with President Xi Jinping announcing massive investment plans, and wrapped up with major deals signed among the 1500 delegates from over 130 countries, all looking to boost trade and connectivity.

  習(xí)近平主席在論壇開始時(shí)宣布了大規(guī)模投資計(jì)劃;來自130多個(gè)國家的1500名代表在論壇上簽署多項(xiàng)重大協(xié)議,期望加強(qiáng)貿(mào)易和溝通,為論壇畫上圓滿句號。

  President Xi Jinping put the focus on inclusiveness and free trade. The Belt and Road Initiative "does not exclude or target any party," Xi told the summit where he spoke of the myriad challenges the world faces: sluggish trade and investment, wobbling economic globalization, increasingly uneven development, impact from the massive flow of refugees and migrants, as well as wars, conflicts and terrorism.

  本屆論壇,習(xí)近平主席聚焦于包容和自由貿(mào)易。習(xí)近平在峰會上表示,“一帶一路”倡議“不排除、也不針對任何一方”,并提到世界面臨重重挑戰(zhàn):貿(mào)易投資疲軟、經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化岌岌可危、發(fā)展日益不平衡、難民移民涌入影響巨大,更有戰(zhàn)爭、沖突和恐怖主義。

  By any standard, the forum is the most prestigious international gathering China has ever launched and one of the highest-level assemblies in the world.

國產(chǎn)大飛機(jī)
domestically built large passenger jet

  China's first domestically built large passenger jet C919 successfully took off for its maiden flight at 2:00 p.m. on Friday from Shanghai Pudong International Airport. C919, with 158 seats and a standard range of 4,075 kilometers, is expected to compete with the updated Airbus 320 and Boeing's new generation 737.

  5月5日下午兩點(diǎn),中國首架國產(chǎn)大型客機(jī)C919在上海浦東國際機(jī)場首飛成功。預(yù)計(jì)該款158座、標(biāo)準(zhǔn)航程4075公里的客機(jī)將與新款空客320和新一代波音737展開競爭。

  The Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) will seek airworthiness certificates from the Civil Aviation Administration of China and foreign aviation safety regulators before making its first deliveries.

  中國商用飛機(jī)有限公司將在交付首批產(chǎn)品前向中國民航局和國外航空安全監(jiān)管部門申請適航證。

  Also, to pave way for C919 to enter foreign markets, the airworthiness certification of the jet will be a part of bilateral air safety agreement talks between China and the EU.

  此外,適航審定也將作為中歐雙邊航空安全協(xié)議磋商的一部分,為C919進(jìn)入國外市場奠定基礎(chǔ)。

  China has invested heavily in commercial passenger jet manufacturing. In 2007, plans to develop a domestic large passenger jet were approved by the State Council. In November 2015, the first C919 jet rolled off the assembly line.

  中國在制造商用客機(jī)方面投入了巨資。2007年,國務(wù)院通過了研發(fā)國產(chǎn)大型客機(jī)的計(jì)劃。2015年11月,首架C919飛機(jī)總裝下線。

法國總統(tǒng)大選
French presidential election  

  Emmanuel Macron, a youthful former investment banker, handily won France's presidential election on Sunday, defeating the staunch nationalist Marine Le Pen after voters firmly rejected her far-right message and backed his call for centrist change.

  5月7日,年輕的前投資銀行家埃曼努爾·馬克龍輕松擊敗民族主義擁護(hù)者瑪麗娜·勒龐,贏得法國總統(tǒng)選舉。選民堅(jiān)決抵制勒龐的極右翼思潮,力挺馬克龍倡議的中間派改革。

  Mr. Macron's victory offered significant relief to the European Union, which Ms. Le Pen had threatened to leave. His platform to loosen labor rules, make France more competitive globally and deepen ties with the European Union is also likely to reassure a global financial market that was jittery at the prospect of a Le Pen victory.

  勒龐曾威脅要退出歐盟,因此,馬克龍的當(dāng)選對于歐盟來說如釋重負(fù)。此前,全球金融市場一度因勒龐可能獲勝而動蕩不安,而馬克龍?zhí)岢龅姆艑拕趧臃ㄒ?guī)、提升法國全球競爭力、加強(qiáng)與歐盟的聯(lián)系等政策也確保了國際市場趨于穩(wěn)定。

  But the election results showed that many people chose not to vote for either candidate, signaling skepticism about his project. And Mr. Macron quickly made clear that he understood the magnitude of the task before him after an often angry campaign. "It is my responsibility to hear and protect the most fragile," he said.

  但選舉結(jié)果顯示,許多人選擇放棄投票,表示對馬克龍的計(jì)劃仍心存疑慮。馬克龍隨即表明,經(jīng)歷了一場充斥著憤怒的競選活動后,他理解了自己所面臨的任務(wù)是多么艱巨。他說道:“聆聽并保護(hù)最弱勢的群體是我的責(zé)任?!?br />

handily  輕易地,靈巧地
staunch  忠實(shí)的,堅(jiān)定的(擁護(hù)或支持)

platform  施政綱領(lǐng);平臺;站臺

韓國總統(tǒng)大選
South Korean presidential election  

  South Korean liberal politician Moon Jae In has won the country's presidential election on Tuesday, ending a decade of conservative rule and potentially reshaping the country's policy toward North Korea.

  5月9日,韓國自由派政治家文在寅贏得總統(tǒng)大選,結(jié)束了保守派的10年執(zhí)政史,有望重塑韓國對朝政策。

  As a student in the 1970s, Moon was arrested and imprisoned for protesting Park's father Park Chung Hee. He went on to become human-rights lawyer, served as chief of staff for former liberal president Roh Moo Hyun, and narrowly lost his own election to Park in the 2012.

  上世紀(jì)70年代,學(xué)生時(shí)期的文在寅因反對樸槿惠的父親樸正熙而被捕入獄。后來,文在寅成了一名人權(quán)律師,任前自由派總統(tǒng)盧武鉉的秘書室長,在2012年大選中以微弱差距敗給樸槿惠。

  In light of the scandal with the former president, Moon was seen as a clean candidate who would end corruption and revitalize South Korea's sluggish economy. Moon's plan to fight corruption centered on reining in what South Koreans called chaebol, family-controlled corporations suspected of forging shady deals with the government.

  鑒于前任總統(tǒng)的丑聞,文在寅被視為一名清廉的候選人,他將致力于根治腐敗,重振韓國的低迷經(jīng)濟(jì)。文在寅的反腐計(jì)劃以管控所謂的韓國財(cái)閥為中心,韓國財(cái)閥指涉嫌與政府進(jìn)行不正當(dāng)交易的家族企業(yè)。

  Rising unemployment among the country's youth was also major issue. Moon pledged to put forth a stimulus plan that would create more than 800,000 public positions.

  持續(xù)攀升的青年失業(yè)率也是韓國的一大問題,文在寅承諾推出經(jīng)濟(jì)刺激計(jì)劃,新增80多萬個(gè)公共崗位。

國產(chǎn)航母
domestically built aircraft carrier  

  China launched its second aircraft carrier Wednesday morning. The new carrier, the first developed and built by China, was transferred from a dry dock into water at a launch ceremony starting at about 9 a.m. in the Dalian shipyard of the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation.

  4月26日上午,中國第二艘航空母艦下水。這是首艘由中國自主研制和建造的航母,于當(dāng)天上午9時(shí)在中國船舶重工集團(tuán)公司大連造船廠舉行的下水儀式上移出船塢。

  It came after the Liaoning, a refitted Soviet Union-made carrier put into commission in the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy in 2012. China began building its second carrier in November 2013, with dock construction starting in March 2015.

  在此之前,由蘇聯(lián)航母改造而成的“遼寧號”已于2012年在中國海軍服役。第二艘航母于2013年11月開工,2015年3月開始塢內(nèi)建造。

  The main body of the carrier has been completed, with equipment of major systems including propulsion and electricity installed. Putting the carrier into water marks significant progress in China's efforts to design and build a domestic aircraft carrier.

  目前,航母主船體已完成建造,動力、電力等主要系統(tǒng)設(shè)備安裝到位。出塢下水標(biāo)志著我國自主設(shè)計(jì)建造航空母艦取得了重大進(jìn)展。

  After the launch, the new carrier will undergo equipment debugging, outfitting and mooring trials.

美聯(lián)航事件
United Airlines incident  

  In the disturbing scene filmed by United Airlines passengers on April 9th on an overbooked flight, an Asian doctor who refused to be bumped from a plane screamed as a security officer wrestled him out of his seat and dragged him down the aisle by his arms.

  4月9日,美聯(lián)航乘客拍攝到一架超售航班上令人不安的一幕:安保人員毆打一名拒絕放棄座位的亞裔醫(yī)生,他高聲尖叫,被安保人員拽離座位,沿過道拖行。

  For United and its CEO, Mr. Munoz, the videos have turned into a PR crisis. United drew quick criticism and threat of boycott for its initial response to the incident, with many people calling it tone deaf after Mr. Munoz only apologized for having to "re-accommodate these customers".

  這些視頻已經(jīng)演變成美聯(lián)航及其總裁穆諾茲的公關(guān)危機(jī)。起初穆諾茲僅對“重新安置”乘客一事表示歉意,此舉迅速招致公眾對美聯(lián)航的批評和抵制威脅,很多人認(rèn)為這種回應(yīng)“不痛不癢”。

  David Dao, the doctor who was seen being dragged off a United Airlines jet this month, has reached a settlement with the airline for an undisclosed amount, his lawyers said on Thursday.

  被拽下飛機(jī)的乘客名為陶大衛(wèi),是一名醫(yī)生。4月27日,陶大衛(wèi)的律師稱,陶大衛(wèi)已與美聯(lián)航達(dá)成和解協(xié)議,但賠償金額并未對外公開。

  Later on, United announced several steps to prevent such episodes from recurring. The airline said it would create a new check-in process that would allow passengers to volunteer to give up their seats for compensation, and increased the limit of that compensation to $10,000 from $1,350.

  隨后不久,美聯(lián)航宣布將采取措施,防止類似事件再次發(fā)生。美聯(lián)航表示將設(shè)置新型登機(jī)程序,讓乘客自愿放棄座位,并將補(bǔ)償金額從1350美元(約合人民幣9200元)提高到1萬美元(約合人民幣68000元)。

《人民的名義》
In the Name of the People  

  In the Name of The People, which cost some 120 million yuan to produce, features well-known actors like Lu Yi and Zhang Fengyi. The show is the first drama series to feature high-level government corruption as a central theme since 2004.

  《人民的名義》制作耗資1.2億元,由著名演員陸毅、張豐毅等出演。這部劇是自2004年起首部以高層政府官員腐敗為核心主題的電視劇。

  The message is to convey that China is “a country of the people, all power belongs to the people,” the narrator says in the show's previews.

  這部劇想要傳達(dá)的信息正如預(yù)告片中所說:“我們是人民當(dāng)家作主的國家,一切權(quán)力屬于人民?!?br />
  And there's more to come, since In the Name of People is just the first of five anti-graft dramas the Procuratorate's broadcast department has been producing.

  還會有更多這類電視劇亮相,因?yàn)椤度嗣竦拿x》只是最高人民檢察院影視中心出品的5部反貪劇之一。

  The term "main theme" is often used to refer to productions, including films and television series, that feature overarching themes with government policies. The production and broadcasting of In the Name of The People on prime-time screens, therefore, reflects Beijing's growing confidence that it is able to win the battle against corruption.

  包括影視劇在內(nèi),以政府政策為貫穿始終主題的作品常被稱作“主旋律”。由此可見,《人民的名義》得以制作并在黃金時(shí)段播出,反映了中國對贏得反腐斗爭的信心在不斷增強(qiáng)。

Vocabulary:

于歡案(貸方被害案)
loan shark killing case  

  The moneylending case in which a man in Liaocheng, eastern China, killed a thug who insulted his mother has attracted nationwide attention--so much that the Supreme People's Procuratorate has decided to investigate.

  在中國東部城市聊城發(fā)生的一起借貸案中,一男子殺死侮辱其母親的一名暴徒,此事引起全國關(guān)注,最高人民檢察院決定進(jìn)行審查。

  The Shandong Provincial High People's Court on Friday overturned the life imprisonment sentence imposed by a lower court in February, ruling that when defendant Yu Huan attacked four men with a knife in April 2016, he was "stopping an unlawful attack." But, the court said, Yu did not face an "urgent or serious" situation, and therefore his self-defense was "obviously over the necessary limit."

  6月23日,山東省高級人民法院撤銷了地方法院在2月份做出的無期徒刑判決,認(rèn)定被告人于歡在2016年4月用刀捅刺四人是為了“制止正在進(jìn)行的不法侵害”,但法院也認(rèn)為,于歡面臨的處境并不“緊迫和嚴(yán)重”,因此其防衛(wèi)行為明顯超過必要限度。

  The court sentenced Yu Huan to five years in prison on the charge of intentional injury caused by excessive force in defense.

  法院認(rèn)定于歡的行為屬于防衛(wèi)過當(dāng)導(dǎo)致的故意傷害,因此以故意傷害罪判處于歡有期徒刑五年。

抵制“樂天”
boycott against Lotte  


  On Tuesday, Lotte, one of South Korea's leading entertainment groups, agreed to provide a piece of land that the government in Seoul wants to use for the deployment of an American-made missile system known as THAAD. China strongly opposes the deployment of THAAD and had warned Lotte that its collaboration would have consequences.

  韓國主要娛樂集團(tuán)“樂天”于周二(2月28日)同意為首爾政府提供所需用地,用于部署美國研發(fā)的“薩德”反導(dǎo)彈系統(tǒng)。中國強(qiáng)烈反對部署“薩德”,并警告樂天此舉將會產(chǎn)生嚴(yán)重后果。

  Shortly after Lotte announced its decision to turn over the land, its Chinese website, Lotte.cn, suddenly became unavailable. Lotte said in a statement that its website had been the victim of a virus planted by hackers. The same day, Chinese e-commerce site JD.com removed the Lotte shopping site from its platform.

  樂天宣布移交土地后不久,其中國網(wǎng)站Lotte.cn突然無法訪問。樂天在一份聲明中稱其網(wǎng)站因黑客植入病毒而癱瘓。同日,中國電商京東在其平臺上取消了樂天的購物頁面。

  Construction of a huge Lotte shopping and entertainment complex in the northern Chinese city of Shenyang had already been halted. Fire-safety regulations have been given as the explanation.

  沈陽一處在建樂天購物娛樂綜合體項(xiàng)目停工,給出的解釋是違反消防安全管理規(guī)定。

  While retaliation by the Chinese government is hard to prove, the state-run Xinhua news agency warned in an opinion piece that "the decision could turn into a nightmare for Lotte, which depends heavily on Chinese tourists to South Korea for revenue from duty-free stores."

  雖然來自中國政府的制裁尚未得到證實(shí),但新華社在一篇評論文章中指出,樂天免稅店的收入主要來自于中國赴韓游客,這一決定或許會成為樂天噩夢的開始。

特朗普就職
Trump's inauguration  

  After more than a year of campaigning, 26 primary and general election debates, and countless press conferences, attack ads, victory speeches, public apologies, and early morning Twitter rants, Donald Trump's inauguration is here.

  歷經(jīng)一年的競選活動,26場初選和普選辯論,不計(jì)其數(shù)的新聞發(fā)布會、言論攻擊、勝選演說、公開致歉和大清早的推特罵戰(zhàn),唐納德·特朗普終于要就職了。

  On Friday, January 20, Trump will officially be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States.

  周五(1月20日),特朗普將正式宣誓就職第45任美國總統(tǒng)。

  Event planners are estimating that 900,000 people will attend Trump's swearing-in ceremony and the ensuing parade - about half the turnout of President Barack Obama's record-holding 2008 inauguration ceremony. There's also a growing boycott among congressional Democrats; more than 50 lawmakers have said they will not attend Friday's ceremonies.

  據(jù)就職儀式的策劃師估計(jì),將有90萬人參加特朗普就職儀式和接下來的狂歡--約為2008年紀(jì)錄保持者巴拉克·奧巴馬總統(tǒng)就職儀式人數(shù)的一半。拒絕參加就職儀式的民主黨國會議員人數(shù)也在增加;有50多位立法委員表示將拒絕參加周五的儀式。

  Donald Trump has promised that his inauguration will "very, very special, very beautiful." By one measure, the event will definitely be as "bigly" as Mr. Trump envisions, given his inaugural committee has raised a record $90 million in private donations to help cover the tab.

  唐納德·特朗普承諾他的就職儀式將會“非常,非常特別,非常美麗?!睋?jù)悉,這個(gè)盛會將會像特朗普所期望的那么宏大,總統(tǒng)就職委員會籌集到9000萬美元(約合人民幣6億元)個(gè)人捐款,用于負(fù)擔(dān)費(fèi)用。
