Many men and women across China are marrying later in life, prompting provincial governments to adopt measures to reverse the trend, according to data released by civil affairs departments on Monday.

2月13日，据民政部门发布的数据显示，中国各地结婚年龄推迟，省政府积极采取措施扭转这一趋势。

In Jiangsu, a province with a population of over 85 million, a total of 412,286 couples were married in 2022, down 11.7 percent year-on-year. The figure has been declining for five consecutive years, according to the provincial civil affairs department.

在人口超过8500万的江苏省，2022年共有412286对夫妻结婚，同比下降11.7%。江苏省民政厅表示，近5年江苏省结婚登记量呈现逐年下降趋势。

Last year, the average age of people getting married in the province was 31.04 years, with the average ages for men and women 31.68 and 30.4, respectively.

去年，江苏省结婚年龄平均为31.04岁，其中男性31.68岁、女性30.4岁。

In Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, the average age of men registering their marriage was 31.7 in 2022, while for women it was 30.

2022年，浙江省杭州市的男性平均结婚年龄为31.7岁，女性为30岁。

Other cities that recorded late marriages among their residents last year include Guilin, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, and Sanmenxia, Henan province.

去年出现晚婚现象的城市还包括广西壮族自治区的桂林市，以及河南省的三门峡市。

According to the China Census Yearbook 2020, the average age of Chinese adults getting married for the first time rose to 28.67 that year. The average age of men getting married for the first time was 29.38 and for women 27.95. The figures were in stark contrast with 2010, when the average age for both men and women was 24.89.

根据《中国人口普查年鉴-2020》，2020年，中国人平均初婚年龄提高到了28.67岁，其中，男性平均初婚年龄为29.38岁，女性为27.95岁。而在2010年，中国人平均初婚年龄为24.89岁。

Late marriages have become a matter of concern amid China's declining fertility rate. In 2021, the average number of children women planned to have was 1.64, down from 1.76 in 2017, according to data from the third China Population and Development Forum held in Beijing recently.

随着中国生育率的下降，晚婚已成为一个令人担忧的问题。近日在北京举行的第三届中国人口与发展论坛数据显示，2021年，中国女性平均计划生育子女数为1.64人，低于2017年的1.76人。

The percentage of women who did not have children increased from 6.1 in 2015 to nearly 10 in 2020, according to the forum.

根据该论坛数据显示，无子女的女性比例从2015年的6.1上升到2020年近10的水平。

In 2010, the average age of men in China getting married for the first time was 25.75 and for women 24. 

2010年，中国男性平均初婚年龄为25.75岁，女性平均初婚年龄为24岁。

Yu Xiaoxin, director of the Jiangsu Civil Affairs Department's social affairs office, said that a range of factors — from better education to broader mindset and maturity — contributed to decisions to marry and have children late.

江苏省民政厅社会事务办公室主任Yu Xiaoxin表示，从更好的教育，更广阔的思维到更加成熟的思想，一系列因素都导致了晚婚晚育。

"China's population in the 25 to 30 age group is declining. That has also led to a decline in the number of marriages of young people being registered," she said.

她还表示“中国25至30岁年龄段人口的减少也导致了年轻人结婚登记数量的下降。”

Gender equality allows women to pursue the life they want, according to Yu. "Women today have higher expectations, and many of them are not willing to settle for anything (less than what they deserve). Conventional views, such as one must raise children so that one has someone during their old age, have changed."

她还认为，性别平等可以让女性追求自己想要的生活。“如今的女性有更高的期望，许多人不愿意满足于当下。养儿防老的传统观念已经改变了。”

All the above factors, together with the rising costs of marriage and childcare, have made it harder to increase the marriage rate, she said, adding that the department has rolled out measures to reverse the downward trend.

她说，所有这些因素，加上婚姻和育儿成本的上升共同导致结婚率难以提高，她还补充说，该部门已推出措施来扭转下降趋势。

In Jiangsu, more than 209,000 couples filed for divorce in the past 12 months, while over 116,000 couples completed the procedure and received their divorce certificates. The average age of people divorcing in Jiangsu is 38.4, with the average ages for men and women 39.28 and 37.52, respectively.

在江苏，在过去的12个月里，有超过20.9万对夫妇申请离婚，超过11.6万对夫妇完成了离婚手续并领取了离婚证。江苏平均离婚年龄为38.4岁，其中男女平均离婚年龄分别为39.28岁和37.52岁。

Wang Youqin, director of the marriage counseling office at the Jiangning district marriage registration service center in Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu, said the center has been counseling couples in need.

江苏省南京市江宁区婚姻登记服务中心婚姻咨询办公室主任Wang Youqin表示，该中心一直在为有需要的夫妇提供咨询。

"We can help them with problems related to marriage, divorce, family conflicts and parent-child relationship. Our employees, social workers, lawyers and professional counselors offer these services," Wang said.

Wang Youqin说：“我们可以帮助他们解决与婚姻、离婚、家庭冲突和亲子关系有关的问题。我们的员工、社工、律师和专业顾问都提供这些服务。”

In Jiangsu, 40 percent of marriage registration centers provide online counseling. The service will be extended to people across the province by the end of this year, Yu said.

在江苏，40%的婚姻登记中心提供在线咨询服务。Yu Xiaoxin说，到今年年底，这项服务将推广到全省各地。

"About 30 percent people who had filed for divorce chose to give their marriage a second chance," she added.

她补充说:“大约30%的离婚人士选择给他们的婚姻第二次机会。”

China will launch two crews to work on its Tiangong space station this year, according to the China Manned Space Agency.

据中国载人航天局表示，两组航天员将于2023年前往天宫空间站.

The agency published schedules for the Shenzhou XVI and XVII mission crews on Wednesday, saying that the Shenzhou XVI team will leave for the Tiangong station in May while their counterparts in the Shenzhou XVII mission will fly to the massive orbiting outpost in October.

2月15日，中国载人航天局公布了神舟十六号和神舟十七号任务人员的时间表，称神舟十六号任务人员将于5月前往天宫站，而神舟十七号任务人员将于10月飞往巨大的轨道前哨站。

Both crews will consist of three astronauts and will be launched into space by Long March 2F carrier rockets from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China. They are scheduled to work at the Tiangong station for six months, where they will conduct spacewalks, scientific and technological tasks, and educational lectures, according to the agency.

两组成员都分别由三名宇航员组成，将由长征2F运载火箭在中国西北部的酒泉卫星发射中心发射升空。据中国载人航天局表示，他们计划在天宫空间站工作6个月，其中包括太空行走、科技任务和教育讲座。

In addition, the Tianzhou 6 robotic cargo spaceship will dock with Tiangong in May to transport necessities for the crew, as well as space suits, experimental payloads, spare parts and fuel.

此外，今年5月，天舟六号机器人货运飞船将与天宫对接，为航天员运送消耗物资、维修备件、推进剂和应用任务载荷样品。

Pang Zhihao, an expert on space exploration technology and a renowned writer on human spaceflight, said that starting from the Shenzhou XV mission, Chinese astronauts will spend more time on scientific experiments and technological tests, which are the main tasks for Tiangong.

空间探测技术专家、著名载人航天作家庞之浩表示，从神舟十五号任务开始，中国航天员将花更多时间完成天宫的主要任务，其中包括科学实验和技术测试。

"The government has made it clear that the space station is a 'national space-based laboratory' dedicated to science and technology. Compared with their predecessors who were mainly tasked with building and testing the station, astronauts in the coming flights will focus on science and technology work," said Pang, who was a researcher at the China Academy of Space Technology.

中国空间技术研究院研究员庞之浩说：“政府明确表示，空间站是一个致力于科学技术的‘国家天基实验室’。与他们之前主要负责的建造和测试空间站相比，未来飞行中的宇航员将专注于科学技术工作，”

Nine joint science projects from 17 other nations have been selected to be carried out aboard Tiangong, and the first ones are expected to be conducted by the crew of the Shenzhou XV or XVI missions.

来自其他17个国家的9个联合科学项目已被选中在天宫上执行，首批项目预计将由神舟十五或十六号任务的机组人员执行。

"The composition of future flight crews will also be different from the current all-military pilot teams. There will be scientists who have been selected as members of China's third generation of astronauts, and they are undergoing extensive training," Pang said.

庞之浩补充说：“未来机组人员的组成也将不同于目前的全军事飞行员团队。将有科学家被选为中国第三代宇航员，他们正在接受广泛的训练，”。

According to the manned space agency, the 18 new astronauts — 17 men and one woman — are in three groups: seven spacecraft pilots, seven spaceflight engineers and four payload specialists. They are training at the Astronaut Center of China in Beijing, and program officials said that some of them will make their debut flight this year.

根据载人航天局表示，18名新宇航员由17名男性和1名女性组成。他们将分为三组，分别是7名航天器飞行员，7名航天工程师以及4名有效载荷专家。他们正在北京的中国航天员中心进行训练，项目官员表示，今年将是其中一些人的首次飞行。

In another development, the agency on Wednesday invited the public to submit logos for the Shenzhou XVI, Shenzhou XVII and Tianzhou 6 missions.

2月15日，国家航天局公开征集神舟十六号、神舟十七号和天舟六号任务标识。

The Tiangong station now consists of the Tianhe core module, the Wentian and Mengtian science labs, the Shenzhou XV crew spacecraft and the Tianzhou 5 cargo ship.

天宫空间站目前由“天和”核心舱、“问天” 实验舱、“梦天”实验舱、神舟十五载人飞船和“天舟”五号货运飞船组成。

英语新闻丨重庆今年将为18万名初二女生免费接种HPV疫苗

Chongqing will offer free vaccinations against human papillomavirus to 180,000 female second-year junior high school students this year, as more Chinese cities join efforts to combat cervical cancer.

中国城市逐步加入了防治宫颈癌的行列，重庆今年将为18万名初二女生免费接种人乳头瘤病毒疫苗。

China has backed the global strategy of accelerating the elimination of cervical cancer, which was initiated by the World Health Organization in November 2020, according to the National Health Commission.

国家卫生健康委员会表示，中国积极响应世界卫生组织于2020年11月提出的“加速消除宫颈癌全球战略”。

The strategy stipulates getting 90 percent of girls under 15 in 194 countries vaccinated with HPV vaccines by 2030, and set a target of eliminating cervical cancer through vaccination, screening and treatment.

这一战略宣告，全球194个国家将携手在2030年实现90%的女孩在15岁前完成HPV疫苗接种的目标。

Cervical cancer, which can be caused by HPV, is one of the most common and fatal cancers affecting women all over the world. It caused more than 60,000 deaths in China alone in 2020, and the number of new cervical cancer patients surpassed 110,000 that year, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

宫颈癌由人乳头状瘤病毒引起，是影响全世界女性最常见和最致命的癌症之一。根据国际癌症研究机构的数据，仅2020年一年，中国就有6万多人因为宫颈癌去世，当年新增的宫颈癌患者人数超过了11万人。

Getting fully vaccinated is regarded as the most effective way to protect women from the disease, and the primary target of HPV vaccination in China is girls aged 13 to 15, the National Health Commission said.

国家卫生健康委员会表示，全面接种HPV疫苗是保护女性免受疾病侵害最有效的方法，中国HPV疫苗接种的主要目标是13至15岁的女孩。

According to the municipal government's work plan, Chongqing is offering a standard subsidy of up to 600 yuan ($88) per person, about the cost of the doses. It also provides the same subsidy for girls who prefer to use other types of HPV vaccines, which might be more expensive.

根据重庆市政府的工作计划，重庆将提供每人最高600元(88美元)的标准补贴，约等于疫苗成本。同时还为愿意使用其他可能价格更贵的HPV疫苗的女生提供相同的补贴。

"I learned about HPV and its harmfulness from a school lecture as well as my parents, and I feel happy that a free vaccine is coming soon," said Zhao Lanxun, a second-grade student from Chongqing Bashu Secondary School.

重庆巴蜀中学二年级学生赵兰勋说：“我从学校的讲座和父母那里了解到了HPV及其危害，很高兴能见证免费疫苗的问世。”

So far, Liangjiang New Area and Yubei district in the city have launched the program.

目前，重庆市两江新区、渝北区已启动接种疫苗的项目。

Since Feb 11, many parts of Xi'an, Shaanxi province, have also launched a free HPV vaccination program for junior high school girls aged 13, according to local media.

据当地媒体报道，自2月11日起，陕西西安多地也启动了面向13岁初中女生的免费HPV疫苗接种计划。

According to a notice issued by the local health commission and the bureau of education, Xi'an is offering all types of HPV vaccines for the group on a voluntary basis.

根据当地卫健委和教育局发布的通知，西安市在接种群体自愿的基础上提供所有类型的HPV疫苗。

In September, Xi'an became the country's first city to administer a 9-valent HPV vaccine to females aged 9 to 45, said Liu Li, an official from a health service center in the city's Xincheng district. Earlier, use of 9-valent vaccines was limited to females aged 16 to 26.

9月，西安市成为全国首个为9至45岁女性接种九价HPV疫苗的城市，西安市新城区一家卫生服务中心的官员刘丽说道。此前九价疫苗仅限于16至26岁的女性。

Liu said there is a huge demand for the 9-valent HPV vaccine among girls. "Now they have a wider range of choices."

刘丽说，女生对九价HPV疫苗的需求量很大。“现在他们的选择更多样。”

To date, several districts including Xincheng, Beilin, Lianhu, Chang'an and Xixian New Area in the city have rolled out vaccination programs.

到目前为止，包括新城、北林、莲湖、长安和西咸新区在内的几个区已经开展了疫苗接种计划。

Some regions in the country have made early progress by launching free trial programs targeting junior high school students. In August 2020, Juungar Banner in Ordos, Inner Mongolia autonomous region, became China's first area to offer free HPV vaccinations for female students aged 13 to 18. Many other areas have followed suit since.

全国部分地区已率先推出针对初中生的试用项目，并取得了初步进展。2020年8月，内蒙古自治区鄂尔多斯市准噶尔旗成为全国首个为13-18岁女学生免费接种HPV疫苗的地区，此后，其他地区纷纷效仿。

The central authorities on Monday unveiled the closely watched "No 1 central document" for this year, which pledged to advance the national strategy of rural vitalization and accelerate modernization in rural regions, according to Xinhua News Agency.

As the first policy statement released each year by the central authorities, the document — issued by the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council — is seen as an indicator of policy priorities.

Work on agriculture and rural areas has been high on the agenda of the "No 1 central document" for 20 consecutive years since 2004.

A summary of the document published by Xinhua said the CPC Central Committee had agreed that work related to agriculture, rural villages and farmers will be the most important of the Party's key tasks.

The "most arduous tasks" in building China into a modern socialist country are also those associated with rural areas, it said.

Such work has utmost importance and cannot risk any mistakes given that the world today is experiencing changes unseen in a century, and China has entered a period when strategic opportunities exist alongside risks and challenges, and there are a greater number of uncertainties and unpredictable factors.

The report to the 20th CPC National Congress in October reiterated the Party's goal of turning the nation into a fully modernized socialist country by 2050. The way to reaching that goal is also made clear — through the Chinese path to modernization.

While speaking at the annual Central Rural Work Conference in December, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, said the socialist modernization won't be complete without agricultural and rural modernization.

This year's "No 1 central document" has nine sections, whose topics include food production, rural infrastructure development and boosting rural industry.

It called for efforts to safeguard national food security and to prevent farmers that had been lifted from poverty from falling back.

The guideline also called on local authorities to advance rural development, construction and governance, and speed up building China into a global agricultural powerhouse and make the Chinese countryside a more harmonious and beautiful place to live and work in.

The chatbot ChatGPT, developed by American company OpenAI, has taken the world by storm in the past few months. This new research, however, has not been welcomed in education as expected. Faced with the threat of ChatGPT, the education community in many countries began to take measures.

美国OpenAI公司研发的聊天机器人ChatGPT，在过去的几个月席卷全球。然而，这项新研究并没有在教育领域受到预想中的欢迎。面对来势汹汹的ChatGPT，多国教育界开始采取措施。

New York City's Department of Education announced a ban on the wildly popular chatbot ChatGPT — which some have warned could inspire more student cheating — from its schools’ devices and networks.

在美国，纽约市教育部1月初宣布禁止学生在其学校的设备和网络上使用ChatGPT，以预防学生作弊的行为。

The education department blocked access to the program, citing “negative impacts on student learning, and concerns regarding the safety and accuracy of content,” a spokesperson said. The move from the nation’s largest school system could have ripple effects as districts and schools across the country grapple with how to respond to the arrival of the dynamic new technology.

一位发言人表示，教育部以 “对学生学习的负面影响，以及对内容安全性和准确性的担忧” 为由，禁止了该技术的使用。而纽约的 “禁令”,可能会在美国其他州产生连锁反应。

In addition, Sciences Po in Europe, a number of Canadian universities, and several Australian states are developing policies on student use of ChatGPT.

除此之外，欧洲的巴黎政治学院（Sciences Po）多所加拿大大学，以及澳大利亚的多个州都正在制定有关学生使用ChatGPT的政策。

Acting vice-provost and associate vice-president at UBC Vancouver, Simon Bates, said that all AI tools come with both potential benefits and real challenges, adding that the university is in the process of developing a newsletter and FAQ as part of its educative approach to academic integrity.

卑诗大学温哥华分校代理副教务长兼副校长西蒙·贝茨（Simon Bates）在一份声明中说：“人工智能工具既有潜在的好处，也有真正的挑战；它有可能帮助学习，但也可能会让学生找AI代做作业。”。该大学正在拟一份简报和常见问题解答，为学生提供学术诚信方面的教育指导。

In order to find out what the public thinks about using ChatGPT in schools, online course provider Study.com surveyed more than 100 educators and more than 1,000 students over the age of 18.

为了解大众对在学校使用ChatGPT的看法，在线课程提供商Study.com调查了100多名教育工作者和1000多名18岁以上的学生。

The results showed that 72% of college professors who are aware of ChatGPT, are concerned about its impact on cheating. Over a third (34%) of all educators believe that ChatGPT should be banned in schools and universities. 66% support students having access to it.

调查结果显示：72%了解ChatGPT的大学教授担心它会引发作弊行为。超过三分之一（34%）的教育工作者认为学校和大学应该禁止ChatGPT。而66%的人支持学生使用ChatGPT。

Surprisingly, 72% of college students believe that ChatGPT should be banned from their college's network.

出乎意料的是，在是否禁用ChatGPT这一问题上，学生们的观点却相对一致：72%的大学生认为应该在学校网络中禁止ChatGPT。

 China said on Monday that high-altitude balloons from the United States had flown over its airspace more than 10 times since the beginning of last year without permission from Chinese authorities.

2月13日，中国当局表示，去年以来，美方高空气球10余次非法飞越中国领空。

"It is not an uncommon thing for US balloons to illegally enter other countries' airspace," Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said, noting that China has dealt with the US balloons in a responsible and professional way.

外交部发言人汪文斌说：“美方气球非法进入别国的领空，并不是什么稀罕事。”他指出，中国在处理美方气球一事上一直本着负责任和专业的态度。

Wang made the remarks at a regular news briefing in Beijing as Washington continued dramatizing the accidental entry of a Chinese civilian airship into its airspace.

在华盛顿继续夸大中国民用飞艇意外进入其领空之际，汪文斌在北京的例行新闻发布会上发表了上述言论。

In one of the latest moves after the US military shot down the Chinese airship earlier this month, the US Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security said on Friday that it has blacklisted six Chinese entities that it said were linked to Beijing's aerospace programs, including those involving airships and balloons.

在本月初美方击落中国飞艇后的最新举措之一中显示，2月10日，美国商务部工业和安全局已将六家中国实体列入黑名单，称其与北京包括涉及飞艇和气球在内的航空航天项目有关。

Wang said: "We strongly deplore and oppose this. China will take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard the legitimate and lawful rights and interests of Chinese companies and organizations."

汪文斌指出：“我们对此表示强烈谴责和反对。中方将采取一切必要措施，坚决维护中国企业和组织的正当合法权益。”

He added that Washington is using the illegal unilateral sanctions against Chinese institutions to play up the situation.

他补充道，华盛顿在利用对中国机构的非法单边制裁来渲染局势。

China urges the US to appropriately handle accidents caused by force majeure in a calm, professional and restrained manner, Wang said, noting that the two sides are maintaining necessary communication.

中方敦促美方通过冷静、专业、克制的方式，妥善处理这次因不可抗力导致的意外情况，并双方保持着必要沟通。

The spokesman reiterated Beijing's firm opposition to Washington's overreaction by using force to deal with the Chinese airship, saying that it is the US that has been abusing its technological advantages to conduct large-scale, indiscriminate surveillance and theft of secrets across the world, including against its allies.

发言人重申，北京坚决反对华盛顿对中国飞艇使用武力的过度反应，并表示，正是美国滥用其技术优势，在世界各地包括其盟友在内进行大规模、不分青红皂白的监视和窃密。

Given such infringements on other countries' sovereignty and interests, which also violate international law and basic norms governing international relations, Wang said no country has a better claim to the titles of spy state and surveillance state than the US.

鉴于这一侵犯他国主权和利益的行为同样违反了国际法和国际关系基本准则，美国当之无愧成为了间谍国和监视国。

He also mentioned Washington's frequent close-in surveillance around China, which seriously threatens China's national security and undermines regional peace and stability.

他还提到，华盛顿频繁对中国周边进行抵近监视，严重威胁中国国家安全，破坏地区和平稳定。

"The US side should check on its own behavior, instead of smearing others and instigating confrontation," Wang said.

汪文斌表示：“美方应该检讨自己的行为，而不是抹黑别人、挑起对抗。”

According to the South China Sea Strategic Situation Probing Initiative, a Beijing-based think tank, US reconnaissance aircraft flew 657 missions to the South China Sea last year and 64 such flights in January this year.

根据总部位于北京的“南海战略态势感知计划”智库数据，美国侦察机去年在南海执行了657次任务，今年1月执行了64次。

In the early morning of Feb 6, Li Nan, a tour guide from China Tourism Group, was busy helping tourists check in their baggage at Beijing Capital International Airport for a long-awaited trip to Singapore.

2月6日凌晨，中国旅游集团的导游李楠在北京首都国际机场忙着帮游客办理行李托运，准备开始期待已久的新加坡之旅。

The 15 travelers made up the first Singapore-bound tour group departing from Beijing since the country resumed outbound group travel on Monday. Outbound group tour services have been suspended in China over the past three years due to COVID-19.

自2月6日中国恢复出境游以来，这15名游客组成了首个从北京出发的新加坡旅游团。受疫情影响，过去三年中国出境游团队暂停了服务。

"I am really excited today," Li said, adding that it marks a rebound and a new beginning of the domestic tourism industry.

李楠说“我今天真的很兴奋，”并表示这还标志着国内旅游业的恢复和一个新的开始。

Besides Singapore, travel agencies are permitted to organize group tours to 19 other countries and regions including Thailand, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Russia and New Zealand.

除新加坡外，旅行社还获准组织赴泰国、阿联酋、埃及、俄罗斯和新西兰等19个国家和地区的团体旅游。

Also starting on Monday, cross-border travel between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong and Macao was fully resumed.

同样从2月6日开始，中国大陆与香港和澳门之间的跨境旅行全面恢复。

Dai Bin, head of the China Tourism Academy, said China's outbound tourism market is expected to see a sustained recovery this year thanks to the optimized COVID-19 protocol.

中国旅游研究院院长戴斌表示，得益于疫情优化政策，今年中国出境游市场有望持续复苏。

According to data from online travel agency Ctrip.com, the realtime search volume for outbound tour products on its platform surged five times when the new policy was announced on Jan 20.

根据在线旅行社携程网的数据，自1月20日新政策宣布以来，其平台出境游产品的实时搜索量激增了5倍。

Travel portal Tuniu said the number of bookings made from Feb 6 to 12 for overseas trips is estimated to double that of last week.

旅游门户网站途牛表示，2月6日至12日的海外旅行预订量预计可达上周的两倍。

Many domestic airlines including Spring Airlines and China Southern Airlines also reported a high occupancy rate in international flights and plan to add more flights to meet the growing demands for outbound travel.

包括春秋航空和中国南方航空在内的许多国内航空公司也报告说，国际航班的上坐率很高，为了满足日益增长的出境游需求，将计划增加更多航班。

China had remained the largest outbound tourism market worldwide for several years before the pandemic hit. In 2019, Chinese tourists made 155 million overseas trips, with consumption abroad worth $133.8 billion.

疫情前的几年里，中国一直是全球最大的出境游市场。2019年，中国游客出境旅游1.55亿人次，境外消费1338亿美元。

Paul Pruangkarn, chief of staff at the Pacific Asia Travel Association, said Chinese tourists are an essential part of global tourism.

亚太旅游协会会长Paul Pruangkarn表示，中国游客是全球旅游业的重要组成部分。

The resumption of China's outbound travel is injecting strong impetus into tourism in the Asia-Pacific region and into the recovery of the global economy, he said.

他说，中国出境游的恢复为亚太地区旅游业和全球经济复苏注入了强劲动力。

Destination countries such as Thailand, Singapore and Cambodia have extended warm hospitality to first arrivals from China.

泰国、新加坡和柬埔寨等目的地国家热情接待了第一批来自中国的游客。

"We are extremely delighted to receive these first tour groups today, and look forward to more Chinese tourists coming back to Thailand," Yuthasak Supasorn, governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, said at a welcoming ceremony held in Bangkok on Monday.

2月6日，泰国旅游局局长Yuthasak Supasor在曼谷举行的欢迎仪式上说:“我们非常高兴今天接待了第一批旅游团，期待更多的中国游客来到泰国。”

TAT predicted that Thailand will receive 7 million tourists from China this year, roughly 63 percent of the pre-epidemic level in 2019.

泰国国家旅游局预测，今年泰国将接待700万中国游客，约为2019年疫情前的63%。

However, outbound tourism is still at the preliminary stage of recovery, said Sun Guizhen, secretary-general of the China Association of Travel Services, adding that major constraints include the limited number of international flights, high costs and inadequate hoteliers.

然而，中国旅行社协会秘书长孙桂珍表示，出境旅游仍处于恢复的初步阶段，主要制约因素包括国际航班数量有限、成本高、和酒店经营者不足。

Industry insiders said that it requires the joint efforts of regulators, business entities, employees and tourists to achieve a full recovery. Some travel service providers therefore are re-collecting resources and conducting training to remedy the industrial chain.

业内人士表示，要实现全面复苏，需要监管部门、企业、员工和游客的共同努力。因此，一些旅游服务提供商为了修复产业链，正在重新收集资源并开展培训。

So far, Ctrip.com has launched nearly 1,200 outbound tour packages. Tuniu offered 400 overseas trip products on its platform, most of which are for small-scale tour groups.

截至目前，携程网已经推出了近1200个出境旅游套餐。途牛在其平台上提供了400种海外游产品，其中大多数是针对小规模旅游团的。

The outbound travel market is set to see a more apparent boom during this year's May Day holiday, experts predicted.

Wu Yibing became the first Chinese mainland player to lift an ATP Tour trophy after winning the Dallas Open title on Sunday.

2月12日，吴易昺在赢得达拉斯公开赛冠军后，成为中国大陆首位举起ATP巡回赛奖杯的选手。

The 23-year-old endured 44 aces from host player John Isner and saved four championship points to achieve a history-making 6-7 (4), 7-6 (3), 7-6 (12) victory in two hours and 59 minutes.

这位23岁的球员在2小时59分钟的比赛中，顶住了东道主John Isner的44个Aces球，并保住了4个冠军积分，最终以6-7(4)、7-6(3)、7-6(12)的比分取得了历史性的胜利。

"It's a long match, three tiebreaks. It's very special that I can make it today, and hopefully there is more to come," Wu told reporters.

吴易昺告诉记者：“比赛非常艰苦，三盘全部打到抢七。我今天能做到这一点非常难得，希望以后还能有更多机会。”

Isner, standing at 2.08m, held championship point on Wu's serve at 6-5, 30/40 in the second set, but Wu kept his cool to recover from that and secured his win through three tiebreaks.

第二局，身高2.08米的Isner在吴易昺6-5、30/40的发球局拿下冠军点，吴易昺仍然沉着冷静，最终通过3个抢七锁定胜局。

After forcing Isner to push a forehand long in the third-set tiebreak, Wu lay on the ground to celebrate his historic victory.

在第三盘抢七中迫使Isner打出正手长传后，吴易昺躺在地上庆祝自己历史性的胜利。

Wu finished with 41 winners, including seven aces, also winning all 13 points he played at the net.

吴易昺最终拿下41个制胜球，其中包括7个Ace球，并赢得了他在网前的全部13分。

"It's like he plays every point the same, so definitely no nerves," said Isner about Wu's performance. "He gets a ball to hit, he hits it, and on this court it's hard to hit him a shot he is uncomfortable with. He is an unbelievable ball striker and a very good talent."

Isner评价吴易昺的表现时说：“他对待每一个球都很娴熟，丝毫不会紧张” “他得到一个球，然后击中，在这个球场上，很难遇到他难以驾驭的球。他是一个优秀的前锋，也是一个非常有天赋的球员。”

Wu had already reached the milestone on Saturday by becoming the first Chinese mainland player to enter an ATP Tour final in the Open Era. He stunned world No. 8 and top seed Taylor Fritz of the United States in the semifinal for his first Top 10 victory.

2月11日，吴易昺成为了第一位进入ATP巡回赛公开赛决赛的中国大陆选手，这是他人生的重要节点。半决赛中，他击败了世界排名第八、头号种子美国选手Taylor Fritz，获得了他的第一次前十胜利。

The fast-rising Chinese star will rise to a career-high world No 58 on ATP rankings.

这位快速崛起的中国球星将在ATP世界排名中升至职业生涯新高的第58位。

Wu had notched six tour-level wins prior to this week, while riding on a fairy-tale campaign in Dallas by defeating Michael Mmoh, third-seeded Denis Shapovalov, Adrian Mannarino, Fritz and Isner en route to the crown.

在2月12日之前，吴易昺已经赢得了六场巡回赛级别的胜利，在达拉斯击败了Michael Mmoh，三号种子选手Denis Shapovalov，Adrian Mannarino，Fritz和Isner en，一路走向冠军。

"The most important thing is that I give more hope to the next generation. They are going to have even higher goals or standards, not just breaking Top 100 or winning the ATP 250," Wu commented.

吴易昺说道：“最重要的是，我给了年轻一代更多的希望。他们会有更高的标准，更大的目标，而不仅仅是突破前100名或赢得ATP 250，”。

The Shenzhou XV mission crew, who are now inside the Tiangong space station, are scheduled to carry out their first spacewalk soon, according to the China Manned Space Agency.

据中国载人航天工程办公室消息，神舟十五号航天员乘组将于近日择机执行第一次出舱活动。

The agency said in a brief news release on Wednesday afternoon the Shenzhou XV astronauts — mission commander Major General Fei Junlong, Senior Colonel Deng Qingming and Senior Colonel Zhang Lu — had lived inside the station for 70 days as of Wednesday and were in a good mood.

中国载人航天工程办公室在2月8日下午的新闻发布会上说，截至2月8日，神舟十五号宇航员——任务指挥官费俊龙少将、邓清明大校和张陆大校——已在空间站内生活了70天，状态良好。

"The Tiangong space station is in stable condition. All necessary elements for extravehicular activity have been in place. The 'dream-chasing' crew are about to make their first spacewalk," the release said.

新闻称，“天宫空间站目前状况稳定。舱外活动的所有必要要素都已就位。‘圆梦乘组’即将首次漫步太空。”

Sources close to the Tiangong program said two astronauts in the crew are expected to install and fine-tune equipment outside the massive station, adding this will be challenging because this will be the first time for them to fly out of a spacecraft.

天宫计划相关的消息人士称，机组中的两名宇航员预计将在大型空间站外安装和微调设备，具有一定挑战性，因为这将是他们第一次飞出航天器。

Fei's team arrived at the station on Nov 30. They are scheduled to stay until May, when they will be relieved by the crew of Shenzhou XVI.

费俊龙等航天员乘组于11月30日进驻空间站。按照计划，他们将停留到5月份，届时神舟16号将接替他们的工作。

Shenzhou XV marks Fei's return to space after a 17-year wait. The 57-year-old veteran was part of the Shenzhou VI flight in October 2005.

神舟十五号标志着费飞龙在等待17年后重返太空。这位57岁的元老在2005年10月是神舟六号飞行的一员。

This marks the first space journey for both Deng, 56, and Zhang, 46. Deng is the last serving member of China's first group of astronauts to take part in a spaceflight while Zhang had been the only one in the second generation without spaceflight experience before the mission.

这次任务对56岁的邓清明和46岁的张陆而言都是第一次太空之旅。邓清明是中国第一批宇航员中最后一位参加太空飞行的现役成员，而张陆是第二代宇航员中唯一一位在执行任务前没有太空飞行经验的航天员。

The Shenzhou XV crew are tasked with staying in orbit for six months to carry out a number of assignments, such as conducting spacewalks to mount equipment outside the station, installing and testing scientific cabinets and conducting scientific experiments and technological demonstrations, mission officials have said.

特派员说道，神舟十五号机组人员的任务是在轨道上停留六个月，执行多项任务，如进行太空行走，在空间站外安装设备，安装和测试科学机柜，进行科学实验和技术演示。

As one of the largest ever space-based assets, the Tiangong station now consists of the Tianhe core module, the Wentian and Mengtian science capsules, the Shenzhou XV spacecraft and the Tianzhou 5 cargo ship.

作为有史以来最大的太空资产之一，天宫站现由天河核心舱、问天和梦天实验舱、神舟十五号飞船和天舟五号货运飞船组成。

It has an overall weight of nearly 100 metric tons and is expected to operate in orbit for about 10 years and will be open to foreign astronauts in the near future.

它的总重量接近100公吨，预计将在轨道上运行约10年，并将在不久的将来向外国宇航员开放。

The mobilization of the civilian teams came as China increased its aid to quake-devastated Turkiye and neighboring Syria. The death toll in the two nations had reached more than 11,000 as of Wednesday, according to The Associated Press.

民间救援队伍的动员正值中国增加对地震灾区土耳其和邻国叙利亚的援助之际。据美联社报道，截至周三，这两个国家的死亡人数已超过1.1万人。

A magnitude-7.8 earthquake caused devastation in Turkiye and neighboring Syria at 4:17 am local time on Monday, and was followed by a magnitude-7.5 quake at 1:24 pm, along with hundreds of aftershocks.

当地时间2月6日凌晨4点17分，土耳其和邻国叙利亚发生7.8级地震，随后下午1点24分又发生7.5级地震，并发生数百次余震。

China will provide Syria 30 million yuan ($4.4 million) in emergency aid, including $2 million in cash, the China International Development Cooperation Agency said on Wednesday. The agency announced on Tuesday it will send a first tranche of 40 million yuan in emergency aid to Turkiye.

Forty-one members of the team departed from Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong province, shortly after midnight, and another 98 members left from Wuhan, capital of Hubei province, at noon, according to a media release from the organization.

据蓝天救援队发布的媒体消息，41名队员于午夜后不久从广东省省会广州出发，另有98名成员中午从湖北省省会武汉出发。

The rescue workers who departed from Wuhan are from at least nine provincial-level regions, including Anhui, Jiangxi and Yunnan provinces as well as the Tibet autonomous region, said Su Qin, a team member from Hefei, capital of Anhui.

来自安徽省会合肥的救援队员苏琴说，从武汉出发的救援人员来自至少9个省级地区，包括安徽、江西、云南以及西藏自治区。

"We got in touch with Chinese chambers of commerce in Turkiye and local emergency management authorities," Su said, adding that they would meet them in Turkiye to discuss what help was needed.

“我们已经和土耳其的中国商会以及当地应急管理部门取得了联系，”苏琴说道，他们会在土耳其会面，讨论需要哪些帮助。

爱德基金会也向土耳其派出了一支约60人的救援队。这一总部位于江苏的非政府组织表示，救援队将提供援助并派出人员支持灾后救援，比如分发衣服和食物，帮助改善卫生条件。

According to the Ministry of Emergency Management, the chartered flight for China's 82-member official rescue team, with 20 metric tons of disaster relief materials and equipment onboard, arrived at Adana in southern Turkiye at 4:30 am local time on Wednesday.

据应急管理部消息，由82人组成的中国官方救援队包机于当地时间2月8日凌晨4:30抵达土耳其南部的阿达纳，飞机上载有20吨救灾物资和设备。

With certification from the UN as an international heavy urban search and rescue team, the Chinese team consists of high-quality, well-equipped personnel, said Wang Mo, the team's deputy head. "The team can carry out search and rescue operations simultaneously in two locations," he said.
