Aperformance art piece presented by YoannBourgeois, a French choreographer, went viral recently. The video shows him trying to climb a staircase but thenfalling down. Instead of falling on the ground, Bourgeois lands on a trampoline and then bouncesback onto the staircase, only to fall backagain. Bourgeois repeats the same action of falling and bouncing back multipletimes before he finally lands on the top of the staircase.

近日，法国舞蹈家、编舞家尤安尼·布尔热瓦（Yoann Bourgeois）完成的一段艺术表演在网络上爆火。视频展示了他试图爬上楼梯，但却不断摔倒的情景。不过，他没有摔到地上，而是落在了蹦床上，然后弹回楼梯上，之后又掉了下来。在最终登上楼梯顶部之前，布尔热瓦重复了多次相同的下落和反弹动作。

According to The Indian Express, a video of this performance wasfirst posted on TikTok by photographer Mathieu Stern who saw it live. Stern’svideo has since been reposted across many social mediaplatforms. On Twitter, a video of this performance art gathered over 25.7million views since it was posted on Oct 24.

据《印度快报》（The Indian Express）报道，这段视频最早由观看了现场表演的外国摄影师马修•斯特恩（Mathieu Stern）拍摄并发布于TikTok，之后被网友转发至多个社交媒体平台爆火。目前，该视频仅在推特上就已收获超2000万的播放量。

Bourgeois’s fluid and effortless movementsshown in the video have impressed people, who took to social media to theorizeabout the message of his performance. A popular theory about the performance isthat it indicates that the path to success is not straightforward and includesseveral ups and downs. Many people also argued that Bourgeois’s act of gettingup after each fall shows that one should not give up on their goal despitesetbacks.

布尔热瓦对身体的控制力令人惊叹，表演所传达的信息也引发全球网友热议。很多网友认为，这段表演是在表达通往成功的道路并不平坦，人生充满起起落落；也有不少网友认为，布尔热瓦每次摔倒后都爬起来的行为表明，一个人在遭遇挫折后不应放弃自己的目标。

“If you want to get thatliteral to his point, he technically is not returning to the same step eachtime he falls. Inmost cases, hereturns further back. The point is that you have to get back on the path tosuccess rather than just staying down on thetrampoline.” A viewer commented.

“

如果你想从他的动作中理解他想表达什么，从技术上讲，他并不是每次摔倒都回到同一高度。大多数情况下，他会弹回到更低的地方。所以重点是你必须回到向成功努力的道路上，而不是躺平在蹦床上。”一位视频观看者表示。

英语新闻｜赠台大熊猫团团病了，大陆专家已抵台两度前往动物园探视

Two panda experts from the Chinese mainland arrived in Taiwan on Tuesday after Taipei Zoo’s Tuan Tuan was suspected to have a malignant brain tumor. The experts visited the panda twice on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively, finding that the health condition of Tuan Tuan is better than expected, island media Chinatimes.com reported on Wednesday, citing the Taipei Zoo.
台北市立动物园大熊猫“团团”疑似罹患恶性脑瘤，11月1日，两位大陆专家抵台提供救助并已在11月1日和2日两度前往动物园探视，据台湾中时新闻网2日报道，大猫熊馆长陈玉燕透露，专家探视后发现“团团”病情比想象中乐观。


The 18-year-old male panda, named Tuan Tuan, is one of two giant pandas gifted by the mainland to Taiwan in 2008. Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan gave birth to "Yuan Zai" and "Yuan Bao", who are beloved by many of Taiwan’s residents. 
十八岁的大熊猫“团团”是大陆赠台大熊猫之一，2008年起在台北安家，并与另一只同期赠台的大熊猫“圆圆”先后产下“圆仔”和“圆宝”，受到众多台湾民众喜爱。


After symptoms of epilepsy were observed in August, Tuan Tuan was tested twice with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in September and October respectively. The test showed that the infected area was enlarged and the disease had rapidly worsened. Although the condition of Tuan Tuan has not been confirmed, it is highly likely that he has a malignant brain tumor. 
“团团”自2022年8月被观察到疑似癫痫的症状后，分别于9月和10月接受了两次核磁共振检查，发现病灶区域明显扩大，病情进展快速。虽然“团团”的病情尚未确认，但从检查结果看，极有可能是脑部患有恶性肿瘤。


The health condition of Tuan Tuan aroused concerns on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. The Taipei Zoo said it has exchanged detailed information with the experts and has reached an agreement concerning the treatment. The experts have checked on the panda and will give feedback on whether or not it is the animal's brain that is causing weakness in its hind limbs, according to the report.
“团团”的病情牵动着两岸民众的心。台北市立动物园表示，他们跟大陆专家讨论了一些医疗的细节，专家也很同意目前园方的做法，而至于是否为脑部的影响导致后肢无力，专家后续也会给一些回馈。


There is no updated treatment plan yet, and the two experts will communicate with other mainland experts over the next few days. It is hoped that they can form opinions based on the observation of the panda's behavior, but it will take three to four days, according to a report from the Taipei Zoo.
针对医疗的部分，园方表示，目前还没有更新的策略出现，两位专家这几天也会再跟大陆相关经验人士沟通。郑秋虹表示，希望两位专家能从“团团”行为上观察来给意见，但需要3至4天的观察。


Taiwan's Council of Agriculture once said that Tuan Tuan could be sent back to the Chinese mainland, causing criticism from residents in Taiwan. Many netizens expressed their gratitude to the mainland experts for coming to Taiwan and hoped that Tuan Tuan's condition can be improved.
台当局“农委会”曾称可以把“团团”送回大陆，引起台湾各界的批评。也有不少网友在网上留言，对大陆专家来台表示感谢，希望“团团”的病情能够改善。

Have you ever wondered whypeople get shorter as they get older? Why do some people lose so much height asthey get older? How to prevent height loss? Let’s see what the experts say.

你有没有想过，为什么人老了会变矮？为什么有些人老了以后身高缩水那么多？怎样才能预防身高缩水？来看看专家怎么说。

Once you become an adult,you typically reach your full height. But your height can change with age, andit’s no myth — you shrink with time.

人在成年之时，通常身高会达到顶点。但是你的身高会随着年龄而改变，年纪大了就会变矮，这并不是什么秘密。

People usually lose abouta centimeter in height every 10 years after age 40, according to Medline Plus,and that pace of height loss speeds up after age 70. Overall, you can losebetween 1 to 3 inches in height as you age, per Medline Plus.

医学网站Medline Plus称，在40岁后每过十年人的身高通常会缩水1厘米左右，70岁后身高缩水速度会加快。总体来看，人在年老后身高会缩水1到3英寸（2.5到7.6厘米）。

While age-related heightloss is normal, there are times when it's a sign of an underlying healthcondition.

尽管人老了变矮是正常现象，但是有时候也预示着潜在的健康问题。

Why do you get shorter as you age?

为什么人老了会变矮？

On a macro level, you getshorter as you age due to changes in the bones, muscles and joints. “There area few different things going on here,” Dr. Angela Catic, a geriatrician andassociate professor in the Huffington Center on Aging at Baylor College ofMedicine, tells Yahoo Life. One, she says, is that the discs between thevertebrae in your spine lose fluid as you get older. “They become dehydratedand, with that, they lose height — and you lose a bit of height,” she says.

从宏观层面来看，人在衰老时会因为骨骼、肌肉和关节的变化而变矮。美国贝勒医学院赫芬顿衰老研究中心的老年病学专家、副教授安吉拉·卡蒂克博士告诉雅虎生活频道：“有几种不同情况。”一种情况是，年纪大了以后，脊柱椎间盘所含的液体会减少。她指出：“脊柱椎间盘脱水后会变短，从而让你变矮。”

Abdominal muscles alsotend to weaken over time, which can create a stooped posture, causing you toappear shorter, Catic says.

卡蒂克说，另一种情况是，腹部肌肉随着时间流逝会衰弱，从而会导致驼背，让你看起来更矮。

In women, menopause can speed up bone loss “due to theloss of the protective effects of estrogen on bones,” Dr. Arashdeep Litt, aninternal medicine physician with Spectrum Health, tells Yahoo Life. That, too,can cause you to get shorter.

健康机构Spectrum Health的内科医生艾拉什迪普·利特博士告诉雅虎生活频道，女性绝经会加速骨质流失，因为“雌性激素对骨骼的保护作用减弱了”，这也会令其变矮。

But height loss can alsobe due to osteoporosis, a bone disease that develops when bone mineral densityand bone mass decreases, or when the quality or structure of bone changes, Littsays. That can decrease your bone strength and increase your risk of fractures,according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

但是利特指出，变矮也可能是由骨质疏松导致的，骨质疏松指的是骨密度和骨量下降，或骨骼质量或结构发生改变。美国国立卫生研究院称，这会降低骨骼强度，增加骨折风险。

How to tell the difference between normal height lossand signs of osteoporosis

如何区分正常的身高缩水和骨质疏松症？

So, how can you know what’sbehind your shrinking size? Your doctor will suspect osteoporosis if you havean overall height loss of 1.5 inches or more, Litt says. “This much height lossis a sign of osteoporosis and warrants a bone density test,” she says.

那么，怎么知道是什么原因导致自己变矮的呢？利特说，如果你身高缩水总量超过1.5英寸（3.8厘米），你的医生就会怀疑你得了骨质疏松症。她指出：“身高缩水这么多是骨质疏松的迹象，需要进行骨密度测试。”

The test can tell howstrong your bones are and will determine if you have osteoporosis, as well as your risk of fractures in thefuture.

这种测试可以测出你的骨强度，并确定你是否有骨质疏松症，以及未来发生骨折的风险。

How to prevent height loss

如何预防身高缩水

Again, some height loss isnormal. But Catic says you can lower your risk of height loss by doing thefollowing:

年纪大了变矮一些是正常的。但是卡蒂克指出，你可以通过做以下几件事来降低身高缩水风险：

Exercise regularly.

定期锻炼

Lift weights (this, alongwith regular exercise, stresses your bones and makes them stronger).

举重（举重和定期锻炼都能强健骨骼）

Eat a diet rich in calciumand vitamin D to support bone health.

摄入有助于骨骼健康的富含钙和维生素D的膳食

Avoid smoking, excessivealcohol use and excessive caffeine intake —all of which are risk factors for osteoporosis.

避免吸烟、酗酒和过量摄入咖啡因，这些都是导致骨质疏松的风险因素

英语新闻｜台北故宫2年摔碎3件文物，两岸网友都怒了

Chinese Nationalist Party Legislator Charles Chen claimed that staff at theNational Palace Museum in Taipei dropped and broke two ceramic items, while related information was concealed. Confirming that three items in its archive had been damaged, the TaipeiPalace Museum said they did not intentionally conceal it and theinvestigation is ongoing.

10月28日，中国国民党籍民意代表陈以信称，台北故宫博物院工作人员损坏了两件瓷器文物，相关信息遭隐瞒。院方同日证实，确有三件文物破损，但称绝无隐瞒意图，相关调查正在进行。

In a statement, the museum wrote that on Feb 3, 2021and April 7, 2022, while staff members were organizing artifacts, theydiscovered upon opening packages that a Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) "yellowteacup with two green dragons" and a Qing Dynasty (1636–1911) "yellowteacup with dragon pattern" were damaged. Additionally, on May 19, 2022,due to staff mishandling, a Qing Dynasty "blue-and-white floralplate" fell and broke.

台北故宫博物院28日下午在社交媒体刊出声明称，器物处瓷器科人员整理文物时，2021年2月3日、2022年4月7日打开文物包裹后发现“明弘治款 娇黄绿彩双龙小碗”（左上）“清康熙款 暗龙白里小黄瓷碗”（下）破损；2022年5月19日整理文物时，由于人员在作业过程中疏忽，致“清乾隆 青花花卉盘”（右上）掉落破损。

The negligence leading to the damage of artifacts at the museum wasimmediately condemned by a large number of netizens. People on both sides of the Straits have not only greatly deplored thedamage of the cultural relics, but also have doubts over the attitude, abilityand motivation of the incumbent management of the Taipei Palace Museumregarding the protection of nearly 700,000 cultural relics housed there. 

网络上有关台北故宫博物院文物破损的帖文随即遭到大批网友谴责。两岸人民不仅对文物受到的破坏深感痛心，而且对台北故宫博物院现任管理人员保护近70万件文物的态度、能力和动机表示怀疑。

Regarding the damaged artifacts,the museum wrote that the Ming dynasty “yellow teacup with two green dragons”is being repaired. The Qing dynasty “yellow teacup with dragon pattern” isawaiting repairs, while the Qing dynasty “blue-and-white floral plate” will berepaired after penalties are issued.

台北故宫博物院28日表示，破损瓷器目前第一件“明弘治款 娇黄绿彩双龙小碗”正在修复中，第二件“清康熙款 暗龙白里小黄瓷碗”待修复人员处理，第三件“清乾隆 青花花卉盘”待惩处程序完成，责任厘清后才会进入修复程序。

Many people are wondering if the public hadn'texposed the incident, would it have been covered up by the Taipei Palace Museumforever? In places in the museum where the public has not paid attention to,are there more valuable artifacts that have been damaged but coveredup?  

不少人关心，如果公众没有曝光文物受损情况，台北故宫博物院会永远掩盖事实吗？在博物馆中公众没有注意到的地方，是否有更多的珍贵文物被损坏，但隐瞒了情况?

The museum's curator Wu Mi-cha said the threebroken artifacts were not insured, so the liability for compensation is stillto be confirmed. He also claimed that the three broken artifacts had never beenput on display and only the three artifacts were damaged in his term ofoffice.

台北故宫博物院院长吴密察28日表示，被损坏的文物因未买保险，赔偿责任还待确认，并称“在我的任期内，只有这唯三的文物毁损，而这三件文物也未曾对外展出过。”

Three artifacts were damaged in only two years, many people doubt thereasons behind. Global Times commented that it'sknown to all that the collections in the Taipei Palace Museum areextraordinary. They are cultural treasures belonging to the entire Chinesenation as well as testimony and inheritance of China's long history andsplendid culture. They are of more special and richer historical, culturaland ethnic value as they went through China's war of resistance againstJapanese aggression and the Chinese civil war and have become the cultural linkand historical bonds that cannot be cut off between the Taiwan island and theChinese mainland. 

两年内三件文物被损坏，不少网友疑惑，到底是因为什么才导致这样的事情发生？环球时报评论称，台北故宫博物院的藏品非同一般，它是属于全体中华民族的文化瑰宝，是中国悠久历史和灿烂文化的见证与传承，更因为经历了抗战时期的颠沛流离、内战的分离苦痛，从而承载着更特殊、更丰富的历史文化和民族意义，成为两岸切不断的文化血脉和历史纽带。

However, the current management staff of the TaipeiPalace Museum have spent more efforts in downplaying and avoiding these aspectsthan they have invested in the protection and management of the preciouscultural relics. Taking the precious cultural relics of the TaipeiNational Palace Museum as political resources, the political manipulations erodedthe due respect to the relics and damaged the professional ability in theprotection and management of cultural relics, which led to the damage happened oneafter another.

然而，如今的台北故宫博物院管理层在淡化、回避这些方面花费的心思，要大于他们在文物保护和管理方面投入的精力。一系列政治性的操弄将台北故宫的珍贵文物当成利用的政治资源，消磨和损害了台北故宫在文物保护和管理上的专业能力和敬畏之心，这才导致珍贵文物破损的事情接连发生。

英语新闻｜通胀率再创新高，欧盟经济前景惨淡

Inflation in the 19-member eurozone hit a record 10.7 percent in October, dampening the economic growth prospects amongnations that serve as the engine room of the European Union.

10月，欧元区19个成员国的通货膨胀率达到10.7%，再创历史新高，削弱了作为欧盟引擎的多个国家的经济增长前景。

The figure is higher than the 9.9 percent recorded in September, accordingto a preliminary report on Monday by Eurostat, the EU’s statistics agency.

欧盟统计局（Eurostat）10月31日公布的初步数据显示，欧元区国家10月份的通货膨胀率较9月份（9.9%）上涨了0.8个百分点。

Eurostat attributed the main components of the grim report to energyprices, which jumped 41.9 percent from the previous year, following a 40.7percent rise in September. Food, alcohol and tobacco rose 13.1 percent whilenon-energy industrial goods increased 6 percent and services moved up 4.4percent.

总体来看，能源价格上涨仍旧是导致通胀率再创纪录的最主要原因。数据显示，继9月同比上涨 40.7% 之后，10月欧元区的能源价格同比上涨 41.9%。此外，食品和烟酒价格上涨13.1%，非能源类工业产品价格上涨6.0%，服务价格上涨4.4%。

The three Baltic states are among those nations hardest hit, with inflationremaining above 20 percent, topped by Estonia with a jump of 22.4 percent.

波罗的海国家（爱沙尼亚、立陶宛和拉脱维亚）仍是受能源市场波动最严重的国家，通货膨胀率均保持在20% 以上，其中爱沙尼亚以22.4%高居欧元区国家之首。

In Belgium, the annual inflation rate rose to 12.27 percent in October, thehighest since June 1975, and many economists see no signs of an easing untilthe start of next year.

比利时10月份的年通胀率升至 12.27%，为自1975年 6月以来的最高水平，许多经济学家认为直到明年年初通胀才有放缓的迹象。

Eurostat on Monday also announced its estimates of GDP growth. The agencyexpects expansion of just 0.2 percent in both the eurozone and the 27-member EUin the third quarter of this year from the previous quarter.

10月31日，欧盟统计局还公布了对 GDP增长的估计。该机构预计，今年第三季度欧元区和欧盟 27个成员国的经济增长率仅比上一季度增长 0.2%。

Extended slowdown

经济增长持续放缓

The report was released just days after the European Central Bank, whosetarget is to keep inflation under 2 percent, hiked interest rates by 0.75percentage point last Thursday. The ECB also promised further rises andforecast an extended economic slowdown in the eurozone.

       10月27日，欧洲中央银行宣布将欧元区三大关键利率均上调75个基点，预计未来将进一步加息，以确保通胀率及时恢复到2%的中期通胀目标。

“Inflation remains far too high and will stay above the target for anextended period,” the bank said in a statement.

目前欧元区通胀率仍然过高，并将在较长时间内保持在目标值之上。

“In recent months, soaring energy and food prices, supply bottlenecks and the post-pandemic recovery indemand have led to a broadening of price pressures and an increase ininflation.”

近几个月来，能源和食品价格飙升、供应瓶颈以及新冠疫情后的需求复苏导致欧元区价格压力扩大和通货膨胀加剧。

ECB President Christine Lagarde warned that eurozone economic activitylikely “slowed significantly in the third quarter of the year and we expect afurther weakening in the remainder of this year and beginning of next year”.

欧洲央行行长拉加德表示，欧元区陷入衰退的可能性加剧。欧元区经济活动可能“在今年第三季度显着放缓，预计今年剩余时间和明年年初将进一步走弱”。

Many experts expect the eurozone — which comprises nations that use theeuro — to go into recession over the winter. An ECB survey last week showedthat participants forecast growth to be negative between the third quarter ofthis year and the first quarter of next year.

许多专家预计，欧元区（使用欧元的国家）将在冬季陷入衰退。欧洲央行上周的一项调查显示，成员国今年第三季度到明年第一季度之间的经济预期增长将是负数。

In its latest World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund estimatesthat the eurozone will grow by 3.1 percent in 2022 but only 0.5 percent in2023, when major economies Germany and Italy are expected to post negativegrowth.

国际货币基金组织（IMF）在其最新的展望中估计，欧元区GDP在2022年将增长3.1%，但在2023年仅增长0.5%，主要经济体德国和意大利预计将出现负增长。

“There are first signs of stagflation to be seen,” ECB Governing Council member Olli Rehn, who also heads the Bank ofFinland, told Finnish media on Monday. Europe experienced its last bout ofstagflation, a prolonged period of slow growth and high inflation, in the1970s.

“存在滞胀的初步迹象，”欧洲央行管理委员会成员、芬兰央行行长奥利雷恩周一对芬兰媒体表示。欧洲在1970年代经历了上一次滞胀，即长期缓慢增长和高通胀。

“Inflation still rising due to the fact that monetary policy is actuallystill expansionary (real estate is very negative) and recession hasn’t hit ashard yet,” Vania Stavrakeva, an assistant professor of economics at the LondonSchool of Economics, said in a tweet on Monday.

伦敦经济学院经济学助理教授瓦尼亚·斯塔夫拉克瓦（Vania Stavrakeva）在周一的推文中表示：“由于货币政策实际上仍然是扩张性的（实际利率非常不乐观），而且经济衰退还没有那么严重，因此通货膨胀仍在上升。”

Also on Monday, Robin Brooks, chief economist at the Institute ofInternational Finance, said in a tweet: “The ECB is a central bank where thehawks don‘t act like hawks and the doves aren’t doves.”

同样在周一，国际金融研究所首席经济学家罗宾·布鲁克斯在推文中表示：“欧洲央行是一个鹰派不像鹰派，鸽派也不是鸽派的央行。”

He said the doves are not pushing back harder against rate hikes becausethey know they need ECB support for their bond markets, so they better notcomplain too loudly.
    他表示，鸽派并没有更加强烈地反对加息，因为他们知道他们需要欧洲央行对其债券市场的支持，所以他们最好不要大声抱怨。

A Long March-5BY4 carrier rocket blasted off from a launchpad at the Wenchang spaceport inSouth China's Hainan province on Monday carrying a second lab module for China'sspace station. When in place, the Mengtian lab module will complete the space station's basic T-shapedstructure, which means that the space station will be able to perform all itsdesignated functions.

周一，一枚长征五号B遥四运载火箭从海南文昌航天发射场点火发射，此火箭运载着中国空间站的第二个实验舱——梦天实验舱。梦天实验舱会使中国空间站形成“T”字构型，这意味着空间站将能够执行所有指定的功能。

Mengtian is the second labmodule for the space station. The first is the Wentian module which is alreadydocked with the Tianhe core module.

梦天实验舱是中国空间站的第二个实验舱。第一个是已经与天和核心舱完成对接的问天实验舱。

While Wentian is to be usedfor biological and space life science projects, such as observing the growth ofmultiple kinds of plants, animals and microbes in space, Mengtian will be usedfor in-orbit experiments dedicated to physics and material sciences and willfocus on micro-gravity experiments.

“问天”将用于生物和太空生命科学项目研究，如观察多种植物、动物和微生物在太空中的生长；“梦天”则将用于物理和材料科学的在轨实验，尤其是微重力实验。

As well as being a lab module,Mengtian will also act as a backup for the core module when it is undergoing maintenance. And with Mengtian inplace, the space station will be able to host more astronauts. There are threeastronauts on board the space station at the moment. When Shenzhou XV arriveswith a change of crew, scheduled for early December, there will be six Chineseastronauts living on the space station for a time until the return of the ShenzhouXIV mission crew members.

除了作为实验舱，“梦天”还将在核心舱进行维护时充当备用舱。有了“梦天”，空间站将能够容纳更多的宇航员。目前空间站中有三名宇航员。当12月初神舟十五号抵达时，宇航员将会在太空交接，届时六名中国宇航员将在空间站上共同生活一段时间，直到神舟十四号宇航员返回地球。

China's space station will bethe only one in space in 2024, if an agreement can't be reached on extendingthe life of the International Space Station. The ISS was due to bedecommissioned in 2031, but that might not be feasible since it requires thecooperation of the United States and the European Union with Russia.

如果各国不能就延长国际空间站寿命达成协议，中国空间站将成为2024年唯一仍在太空的空间站。国际空间站原定于2031年退役，但由于需要美国和欧盟与俄罗斯的合作，这可能无法实现。

That the ISS is even stilloperational at this point is a testament to its design and engineering. Likethe ISS, China's space station will have to withstand tremendous stresses andstrain. While the power, environmental control and life support, and communicationssystems are all repairable or replaceable in orbit, the operational lifetime ofthe spacecraft is limited by the integrity of the primary structure. This hasto bear the strain of repeated vehicle dockings and undockings, and the stresseffects of daily temperature swings of about 278 degrees Celsius in eitherdirection.

国际空间站目前仍在运行，这证明了它的设计和建造之精密。和国际空间站一样，中国空间站也会面临巨大的压力。虽然电力、环境控制和生命支持以及通信，在轨道上都是可修复或可更换的，但航天器的技术寿命受到主要结构的限制。它必须反复承受对接和分离的压力，以及因每天大约278摄氏度左右温度上下波动所带来的压力影响。

Mengtian means "dreamingof heaven" in Chinese. And China's space station will not only carry thenation's dream of exploring space, but also that of humankind as a whole whenthe ISS meets its fiery fate.

“梦天”在汉语中的意思是“梦见天空”。中国的空间站不仅承载着中国探索太空的梦想，也将在国际空间站退役后承载整个人类的梦想。

China views learning moreabout the vast cosmos as a common dream of humankind, and researchers fromother countries already have access to China's orbiting laboratory. China hasselected nine initial international experiments for the space station through acollaborative project with the United Nations, and more are to follow. It isalso anticipated that the space station will host astronauts of variousnationalities during its lifetime as China is encouraging international spaceexchanges and cooperation to help protect the Earth, improve people'swell-being and serve human progress.

中国将更多地了解浩瀚的宇宙视为人类的共同梦想，其他国家的研究人员也已可以进入中国的轨道实验室。中国通过与联合国的合作项目，选择在空间站初步进行九项国际实验，后续还将进行更多实验。此外，因中国鼓励国际空间交流与合作，以保护地球、改善人民福祉并为人类进步服务，预计空间站在役期间将接待各国宇航员。

The State Council, China's Cabinet,rolled out a major regulation on Tuesday to promote the country's 111 millionself-employed businesses, which industry experts said will greatly boostconfidence and resilience among private smaller businesses over the long term.

国务院日前发布《促进个体工商户发展条例》，惠及1.11亿户个体工商户，业内专家称从长远来看该条例将大大增强个体工商户的信心和韧性。

According to the regulation that willtake effect on next Tuesday, greater supportive policies, including ontaxation, finance, employment, digital development and intellectual propertyprotection, will be provided to self-employed households.

拟从11月1日起施行的这一条例指出，将为个体工商户提供包括财税、金融、就业、数字化发展和知识产权保护在内的全方位支持政策。

The regulation also emphasizes therole of self-employed households in driving the market and economy, andstressed that China will unswervingly encourage, support and guide the development of suchbusinesses.

条例还指出了个体工商户对于推动市场和经济的重要作用，并强调国家将坚定不移地鼓励、支持和引导个体经济发展。

"The new regulation has moredetailed and targeted supportive policies, which is of significance inpromoting the development of self-employed households," said Li Zhiqi,vice-chairman of the Beijing Federation of Industry and Commerce.

北京市工商联副主席李志起认为，条例中细节上有许多精心设计，体现出对个体工商户的精准支持，对于促进个体工商户的发展具有重大意义。

For instance, the regulationencourages financial institutions to offer financial products and servicestargeting self-employed households, as well as larger scale coverage of loans,which will help relieve financing difficulties among these individualhouseholds, Li said.

李志起指出，举例而言，条例鼓励金融机构提供适合个体工商户发展特点的金融产品和服务，扩大个体工商户贷款规模和覆盖面，这将有助于缓解个体工商户融资难。

"Such efforts will offer timelysupport, as self-employed households, which rely on their own means to surviveand develop in niche markets, are relatively weak in resisting external risks,especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic," he added.

李志起称，由于个体工商户往往是以“一己之力”在缝隙市场中求生存和发展，其实力有限、抗风险能力较弱，尤其是在疫情反复影响下需要及时给予帮扶。

The latest data from the StateAdministration for Market Regulation showed that more than 111 millionself-employed households were registered nationwide as of the end of September,accounting for two-thirds of the country's total number of market players. Theyalso were responsible for about 300 million jobs.

国家市场监督管理总局的最新数据显示，截至9月底，全国登记在册的个体工商户超1.11亿户，占市场主体总量的2/3，带动就业近3亿人。

A survey provided by the administrationshowed that since the beginning of this year, nearly 80 percent of individualhouseholds brought in an average monthly operating income of less than 10,000yuan ($1,389), which can only support basic living standards.

据国家市场监督管理总局的一项调查，今年以来，近80%的个体工商户平均月营业收入不足1万元，仅能维持基本生活。

Over the past few years, thegovernment has launched a package of policies to support the development ofself-employed households. The SAMR rolled out two specialized platforms toimprove services for such groups.

过去几年来，政府已经出台了一揽子政策来支持个体工商户发展。国家市场监督管理总局还为个体工商户推出了两个专业服务平台。
