According to research, 90% ofadolescents have difficulty waking up in the morning. Other research showswhile more of us become morning people as we age, many adults struggle to wakeup, too.

根据研究，有90%的青少年早上起床困难。另有研究表明，尽管随着年龄增长有些人会起得变早，但还是有很多成年人起床时挣扎万分。

The body prepares to wake upin the hour or so before you awaken — your body temperature begins to rise, andblood pressure increases. Serotonin and cortisol flood the brain, and theneurons and activity start firing.

我们的身体准备起床时，或准备起床之时，你的体温和血压开始升高，血清素和皮质醇充斥大脑，神经元和神经活动开始活跃。

If using an alarm, which cango off during periods of deeper sleep, you might find that you wake up feeling groggy, especially if your bedtime and wake-uptimes vary day to day.

而如果闹钟在深度睡眠阶段响起，那你醒来可能会觉得昏沉沉的，特别是在作息不规律时，这种情况尤为严重。

Your circadian rhythmis your internal body clock, which is tuned to a 24-hour cycle, and researchsuggests those clocks can have natural preferences for day or night that showup in our DNA. Some people are predisposed to early wake-ups, whereas othersnaturally sleep later.

生理节律是你体内的生物钟，以24小时为周期。研究表明，生物钟对白天或夜晚有自然的偏好，这是在我们的DNA中体现出来的。有些人容易起得早，而另一些人则天生睡得晚。

A relaxing evening helps youfall asleep. Avoid stressors like email and tough talks with family members atleast an hour before bed. To get in the mood for slumber, you can stretch, takea warm shower or bath, or read a book in a low-lit room.

夜晚放松有助于入睡。至少在睡前一小时避免邮件、与家人严肃的谈话等会造成压力的活动。想要进入睡眠状态，你可以拉伸、洗个热水澡，或者在光线较暗的房间里看看书。

Yes, alcohol makes you feelsleepy. But it makes it harder to stay asleep and can make you feel groggy inthe morning, too. If you do hit the hooch, stick to one drink and have it withdinner, or at least 2 to 3 hours before bedtime.

酒精的确会让你昏昏欲睡。但它让你更难保持睡眠状态，还会让你在早上感到昏昏沉沉。如果你非要喝点酒，那就小酌一小杯，晚餐时喝，或者至少在睡觉前2到3小时喝。

If you wake up some days at 6am, others at 8 am, and still others at 11 am, you’re confusing your circadianrhythm. While some people plan to let themselves sleep as late as possible onweekends, that can actually be counterintuitive, throwing off your body clockeven more.

如果你有时在早上6点醒来，有时在8点醒来，有时在11点醒来，那就混乱了自己的生物钟。虽然有些人想在周末晚睡些，但实际上，这样做是有悖直觉的，甚至还会打乱生物钟。

How to wake up quickly in themorning?

早上如何快速清醒？

Studies show that exposure tobright, white light in the morning can increase alertness. Sunlight is great,simply open your bedroom curtains.

研究表明，早晨明亮的白光可以提高警觉性。阳光是很好的，拉开卧室的窗帘让明媚的阳光照进来。

Starting your day with adaily wake-up meditation can help set the stage for a successful day. Bycultivating your peace of mind before jumping into your day, you can putyourself in the best position to treat yourself and others with kindness.

让清晨的冥想开始新的一天。冥想可以帮助你为顺利的一天打下基础。在新一天工作开启之前，先培养平和的心态，这样你就能摆正善待自己和他人的最佳位置。

Jumping jacks or a brisk walkcan get your blood pumping and rev up your nervous system. You'll feel more alert in the moment  and hours later, too.

开合跳或快步走可以让促进血液循环，激活神经系统。你会在晨练的时候变得更加清醒，这一状态可以维持几个小时。

英语新闻︱判了！女子网购毒蛇被咬致死，他们都有责

Arecently released verdict found that the sellers, online platforms anddelivery companies involved in a case in which a woman died after buyingvenomous snakes online have been ordered to pay compensation.

近日，北京市海淀区人民法院公布了一份判决书。该案因一位来自陕西渭南的21岁女大学生杨某某，在转转平台先后两次购买银环蛇致死而起。涉案的卖家、平台和快递公司已被责令赔偿。

Thesix defendants were ordered to pay 336,900 yuan ($47,500) in total, as theirbehaviors had a causal relationship with the death of the victim, according tothe verdict, which was made in November 2021, but only published recently onthe website China Judgements Online.

2021年11月2日，北京市海淀区法院宣判此案。而一审判决书近日才在中国裁判文书网公布。根据判决书，由于被告与受害人损害后果之间均存在事实上的因果关系，六名被告被责令赔偿33.69万元。

Thepublic's attention has again been drawn to the subject of purchasing live orwild animals online, after two internet influencers were recently arrested foreating a shark — which was under State protection — that they had bought on theinternet.

近日，两名网红博主因食用在网上购买的国家保护动物鲨鱼而被捕，线上购买野生动物这一问题再次进入公众视野。

Thevictim, surnamed Yang, bought two many-banded kraits, a venomous snake includedin the list of terrestrial wildlife that is beneficial or of great economic andscientific value under State protection. She purchased the snakes from ShaoZijiu on June 20 and July 1, 2018, through trading platform Zhuanzhuan. Shaoasked others to send the snakes to Yang later via mail.

据悉，杨某某购买了两条银环蛇。银环蛇是一种毒蛇，被列入了《国家保护的有益的或者有重要经济、科学研究价值的陆生野生动物名录》。杨某某于2018年6月20日和7月1日通过交易平台“转转”从邵某某处购买了银环蛇。邵某某随后通过快递将银环蛇寄送给杨某某。

OnJuly 9, 2018, Yang was bitten by a snake on her left hand. Although she wassent to a hospital for treatment, she died a week later. Yang's parentsbelieved that their daughter's death was closely related to the sellers, onlineplatforms and delivery companies involved in the trade.

2018年7月9日，杨某某左手被蛇咬伤。尽管被送医治疗，但一周后还是去世了。杨某某的父母认为，卖家、平台和快递公司对女儿的死亡负有不可推卸的责任。

Yangwas informed by Shao of the risks of rearing the snakes but she insisted on buying them. Shewas bitten after she didn't use proper protection as instructed while feedingthe snakes. She also didn't seek professional treatment promptly after beingbitten nor did she truthfully tell the doctor she was bitten by a many-bandedkrait, causing a delay in treatment.

邵某某曾告知养蛇的风险，但杨某某坚持购入。杨某某喂蛇时没有按照指示，未使用适当的保护措施，因此被咬伤。被咬后，杨某某并未立即寻求专业治疗，也没有如实告诉医生自己被一条银环蛇咬伤，耽误了治疗。

Therefore,Yang should take the main responsibility, and the six defendants bear secondaryresponsibility, according to the verdict.

因此，判决书显示，杨某某应承担主要责任，六名被告承担次要责任。

Thesellers sold the snakes online publicly and the trading platform failed tonotice and stop such illegal behavior, it said.

交易平台并未注意并制止在网上公开售卖蛇类这一违法行为。

TheWildlife Protection Law stipulates that online trading platforms are prohibited fromproviding trading services for the sale of wild animals and their products. ThePostal Law prohibits the delivery of any live animal in the mail, and the twodelivery companies did not check the packages as required, it said.

我国《野生动物保护法》明确规定，禁止网络平台为违法出售购买野生动物提供交易服务；《邮政法实施细则》规定，禁止寄递或者在邮件内夹带各种活的动物。两家快递公司也并未按照要求检视快递包裹。

"Thiscase once again warns that online shopping participants, whether they purchase,sell or transport goods, must comply with the law and regulations," saidLiu Kongsheng, a lawyer with Shandong Chenze lawyer firm.

山东辰泽律师事务所律师柳孔圣表示：“本案再次警示网络购物参与者，无论采购还是出售、运输货物，一定要依法依规。”

英语新闻︱欧洲多国调查北溪天然气管道泄漏事件

European nations are launching investigations into the cause of the leaks in the Nord Stream pipelines that link Russia and Germany through the Baltic Sea — already suspected by Scandinavian leaders tobe acts of sabotage.

欧洲各国正对“北溪”管道泄漏的原因展开调查，“北溪”经由波罗的海海底，连接俄罗斯和德国。北欧多国高官怀疑管道泄漏是蓄意破坏。

Germany's geological research center GFZ said that a seismograph on the Danish island of Bornholm, near wherethe leaks occurred, recorded spikes twice on Monday, the day when the NordStream 1 and 2 gas pipelines witnessed sharp falls in pressure.

德国地质研究中心表示，丹麦博恩霍尔姆岛的地震仪显示，26日在“北溪-1”和“北溪-2”天然气管道压力骤减的时候，分别有两个时间点测试仪出现了峰值。

The leaks reported are in Danish and Swedish maritime economic zones, not the nations' territorial waters.

据丹麦和瑞典官方通报，“北溪-1”管道有两处泄漏点，位于丹麦博恩霍尔姆岛东北方向，分属于丹麦和瑞典海上专属经济区。

Aerial photos by the Danish military show bubbling gas, with the areas in question ranging from 200 to 1,000 meters in diameter.

丹麦军方发布的航拍画面显示，管道泄漏区域的水面上有大量气泡，泄漏区域面积直径在200米到1000米不等。

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that the authorities assessed that there have been "deliberate actions. It is not an accident".

丹麦首相梅特·弗雷泽里克森表示，根据丹麦相关机构的综合评估，“北溪”天然气管道泄漏并非“事故”而是“蓄意破坏”。

Outgoing Swedish PrimeMinister Magdalena Andersson said: "We have Swedish information and we have also been in touch with Denmark, and based on this, we have concluded that this is likely a deliberate act, that is, it is likely an act ofsabotage."

即将离任的瑞典首相玛格达莱娜·安德松说：“我们得到了瑞典方面的信息，也一直与丹麦方面保持联系。基于这些信息，我们可以得出结论，此次泄漏可能是一起蓄意破坏行为。”

Neither leader pointed fingers at any possible culprits.

两位首相并未指出究竟是谁酿成此祸。

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia was "extremely concerned" by the reports ofdamage and that no option, including sabotage, could be ruled out at themoment.

克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫表示，俄方对此“尤为关切”，不排除事故是破坏活动所致。

"Obviously, there is adestruction of the pipeline. And what the reason is, there is no option that can be ruled out until the results of the investigation emerge," Peskovsaid.

佩斯科夫说：“很明显管道遭到了损坏。至于原因，在调查结果出现之前，不能排除任何可能的选项。”

Both the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines were built to deliver natural gas from Russia to Europe. While Russian gas giant Gazprom halted supplies via Nord Stream 1 early this monthfor technical maintenance, Nord Stream 2, a new project, never started operations. Germany halted its involvement in the project following the Russia-Ukraine conflict, but the pipeline is filled with gas to prepare for possible use.

“北溪-1”和“北溪-2”天然气管道负责将天然气从俄罗斯输送到欧洲。虽然天然气巨头俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司在本月早些时候暂停了“北溪-1”的供气，以进行技术维护，但新项目“北溪-2”并未开始运营。俄乌冲突后，德国叫停了“北溪-2”项目。目前“北溪-2”天然气管道已完成供气准备，可随时投入运营。

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Tuesday called for authorities to "investigate the incidents, get full clarity on events and why".

27日，欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩呼吁要“调查这些事件，弄清所有细节和原因”。

European Commission spokesman Eric Mamer said: "We believe we do not have the elements in order to determine what is the reason for the leak."

欧盟委员会发言人埃里克·马默表示：“我们还没有掌握相关的信息，无法确定泄漏的原因。”

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Tuesday that the initial reports indicated an attack or someother kind of sabotage, but "we haven't confirmed that yet".

美国国务卿安东尼·布林肯27日表示，泄漏事件的初步调查报告显示，这可能是一次袭击或某种破坏的结果，但“我们还没有证实”。

Yan Qin, an analyst at Refinitiv, said that the incident removed any possibility of gas flows resuming in Nord Stream 1 later this year or next year, adding that it was highly unlikely that Germany would agree to put Nord Stream 2 into operation.

路孚特分析师秦炎表示，此次泄漏使得“北溪-1”管道不可能在今年晚些时候或明年恢复天然气供应。此外，德国不大可能同意让“北溪-2”天然气管道投入运营。

"With zero supplies via Nord Stream now a factum, it will be challenging for Western Europe to fill gas storage next year, implying a prolonged period of gas shortages and elevated gas prices for Europeans," she told China Daily on Wednesday.

秦炎28日接受本报采访时表示，北溪停止供应已成事实，将影响明年西欧的天然气供给，欧洲天然气短缺将持续较长时间，天然气价格也会保持在高位。

英语新闻︱地震幸存者甘宇本周或将出院

In a miracle of survival, a man was injured in an earthquake and lived alone for 17 days in the wild, subsisting on fruit as he struggled with a broken leg and fractured ribs.

甘宇被困山林17天，因地震而脚部受伤、肋骨骨折的他靠吃野果维持生命，这是一个奇迹。

Now, he may be discharged from a hospital this week after days of treatment in the intensive care ward.

据悉，在ICU接受几天治疗后，甘宇本周将康复出院。

Gan Yu, a 28-year-old hydropower station employee in Luding county, Sichuan province, was missing after the magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck the county on Sept 5. During his ordeal, he lost about 20 kilograms, but he is expected to soon be fully recovered.

28岁的甘宇是四川省泸定县水电站工作人员，在9月5日发生6.8级地震后失联。被困17天的甘宇瘦了近40斤，经过治疗，他的情况日渐好转。

Gan was found alive on Sept 21, and was taken to Sichuan University's West China Hospital.

9月21日，甘宇获救，并被转运至四川大学华西医院。

Reclining on a hospital bed and wearing eyeglasses, Gan seems to think clearly, and smiles and speaks softly to visitors. Were it not for the bandages on his body, one would hardly imagine he had just survived a harrowing trauma.

斜躺在病床上的甘宇戴着一副新配的眼镜，面对媒体的提问应答流畅、思路清晰、笑容温和、语调平缓。如果不是身上四处包扎的伤口，你很难想象他刚刚在没有任何食物补给和物资保障的情况下，野外生存了17天。

After the earthquake, Gan and 41-year-old co-worker Luo Yong had cleared away rubble in the Wandong Hydropower Station to save another worker. They also pulled open the floodgates in time to avert a disaster that could have washed away farmland and houses.

地震发生当天，甘宇和41岁的同事罗永在废墟中救出了另一名工友。他们还放弃逃生，及时开闸泄洪，防止村庄农田被淹。

But things got worse for Gan: He lost his eyeglasses and couldn't see well.

然而甘宇的眼镜却弄丢了，看不清道。

Guided by Luo, he walked 20 or 30 kilometers from the station. But he became too weak to go farther and decided to stay where he was and wait for Luo to return with rescuers. Luo was found on Sept 8,but rescuers were unable to find Gan.

在罗永的帮助下，他们从水电站走了二三十公里。但是甘宇太过虚弱，体力已经耗尽，于是决定呆在原地，等待罗永带着救援人员回来。罗永于9月8日获救，但救援人员无法找到甘宇。

Gan feared that Luo had died, so he determined to head back to the station to wait for help.

甘宇害怕罗永已经遇难，就决定回水电站等待救援。

Without his glasses, he fell down and got up many times. He did not know the time, as he had also lost his cellphone and didn't have a watch. When darkness fell, he lay down on the ground and slept fitfully.

由于视线模糊，甘宇多次摔倒。由于手机丢失了，也没有手表，他已经没有了时间概念。夜幕降临之后，他就躺在地上断断续续地睡一会儿。

"I didn't walk at night and stayed under the trees. My leg had been hurt by a falling stone, and I could only walk slowly during the daytime," Gan said.

甘宇表示，晚上他就呆在树下，由于腿被落石砸伤，只能在白天慢慢地走。

For the first few days, he was able to find a stream to drink water. Later, he could only collect rainwater from moss. He ate wild kiwi fruit in the woods.

甘宇回忆，开始几天，沿途有溪流，有水可以喝，路上还能捡到一些野生猕猴桃。后来只能喝苔藓水。

When the wild fruit and moss were no longer available, he dug up roots and drank his own urine to survive. Many times, Gan said, he could clearly hear the sound of a helicopter.

在找不到野果和苔藓的情况下，他就挖树根、喝尿液来生存。甘宇说，很多次，他都能清晰地听到直升机的声音。

He described his desperate thoughts: "I can't give up. My family is waiting for me and people must be looking for me, I want to live. Mother's voice, childhood companions, Grandmother's smiling facekept flashing through my mind. When I was about to despair, I talked to the grass and trees," Gan said.

他回忆起了身陷绝境时的想法：“我不能放弃，家人还在等我，外面肯定有人在找我，我要活下去。”母亲的声音，儿时的同伴，奶奶的笑脸……在他脑海中不断闪现。快要绝望的时候，他就和身边的草木说话。

His salvation came on Sept 21, when Ni Taigao, a 58-year-oldethnic Yi villager in Shimian county, heard his calls for help on a mountain slope.

9月21日，石棉县58岁的彝族村民倪太高在山坡上听到了甘宇的呼救声。他获救了。

He had lost 20 kilograms in the ordeal but was in stable condition. A preliminary examination found multiple soft tissuecontusions, rib and leg fractures and a serious infection contracted by staying in the wild for nine rainy days.

在这17天里，甘宇瘦了20公斤，情况稳定。经初步检查，甘宇全身多处软组织挫伤、肋骨骨折、左下肢腓骨骨折，伴有严重感染。

As his condition improved, he was transferred from the ICU to a general ward on Sunday and could be discharged this week,according to his mother, Chen Weishu.

其母陈为淑表示，病情好转后，甘宇于25日从ICU转入创伤医学中心进一步治疗，或将于本周出院。

英语新闻∣西班牙拟推出“数字游民签证”最长可居住五年

Spain plansto issue “digital nomad” visas giving non-EU citizens thechance to work in the sun and enjoy a lower cost of living with tax breaksthrown in for good measure.

西班牙计划发放“数字游民签证”，让非欧盟公民有机会在阳光普照的西班牙办公，并享受税收减免带来的低成本生活。

The visaswill be offered to people who work remotely for enterprises outside Spain andwho derive a maximum of20% of their income from Spanish firms.

这一签证将向为西班牙境外企业远程工作的人提供，前提是他们从西班牙企业获得的收入不超过他们收入的20%。

As the lawhas yet to be passed there are still some details to be hammered out but it isexpected that the visa – essentiallya residency permit – will beinitially valid for one year, renewable for up tofive years depending on the applicant’s circumstances. Close relatives, suchas a spouse or children, will be eligible to join the applicant.

尽管西班牙尚未通过相关法规，部分细则也有待敲定，但预计这种签证（本质上是居住许可证）最初有效期为一年，随后可以依据申请者情况续签至最多五年，配偶和子女等近亲也可以一同申请。

Applicantsmust be from outside the European Economic Area and be able to demonstrate that they have been working remotelyfor at least a year. They must have a contract of employment or, if freelance,show that they have been regularly employed by a company outside Spain.

申请者必须来自欧洲经济区以外国家，并能证明自己已远程办公至少一年。他们必须持有雇佣合同，如果是自由职业者，则必须证明自己常受雇于某个西班牙以外的企业或机构。

They mustalso demonstrate that they will earn enough to be self-sufficient and that theyhave an address in Spain.

另外，申请者必须证明自己的收入可以自给自足，并在西班牙有住所。

For the firstfour years they will be taxed at 15%, rather than the standard 25% base rate.

拿到“数字游民签证”者在西班牙居住的前四年里可以享受15%的优惠税率，而当地标准税率为25%。

Spain joins15 other European countries that offer some version of a digital nomad visa.Each country has its own set of conditions.

目前已经有15个欧洲国家推出类似的“数字游民签证”，各国有自己的申请条件。

In Croatia,for example, applicants must be earning at least €2,300 a month, in Estonia €3,500, in Iceland €7,100 and in Portugal only €700. It’s thought that Spain will set a minimummonthly income of about €2,000.

比如，克罗地亚要求申请者月收入不低于2300欧元，爱沙尼亚要求不低于3500欧元，冰岛要求达到7100欧元，葡萄牙的最低门槛则只有700欧元。据估计，西班牙将把申请者最低月收入门槛设定在2000欧元左右。

Greeceintroduced a digital nomad law in October 2021, offering residency of one to three years. Applicantsmust have a monthly income of €3,500.

希腊于2021年10月出台了数字游民法，向数字游民提供一至三年的居住权。申请者月收入必须达到3500欧元。

Somecountries demand that you have cash in the bank – €5,500 in the case of the CzechRepublic – as well as income. Some may alsoinsist on private health insurance.

有些国家除了收入限制外，还要求你在银行里有存款，比如捷克共和国要求银行存款达到5500欧元。另外一些国家还要求申请者拥有私人医疗保险。

Madrid,Valencia and Barcelona are already popular among the EU’s digital nomads, with the latterproving a favoured destination for startups as the city aspires to become atechnology hub and less dependent on tourism.

西班牙的马德里、巴伦西亚和巴塞罗那原本就是欧盟的数字游民热门聚居地，事实证明，巴塞罗那还是很受初创企业欢迎的目的地，该市立志要成为技术中心，减少对旅游业的依赖。

Excellent 4Gcover almost everywhere in Spain is tempting some nomads to set themselves upin rural areas where rents are very low. Internet speed is among the fastest inEurope and, at 148Mbps, almost double the UK speed of 75Mbps.

西班牙几乎覆盖各个角落的优质4G网络吸引着一些数字游民在租金很低的乡村地区落脚。西班牙的网速是欧洲最快的，达到148兆比特每秒，是英国网速（75兆比特每秒）的近两倍。

However, forresidents of cities such as Madrid and Barcelona, one negative effect is thatnomads push up rents as people working remotely for US or UK companies cancommand much higher salaries and pay higher rents than locals.

但是，对于马德里和巴塞罗那等城市的居民而言，数字游民涌入的一个负面影响是会推高当地房租，因为远程为英美公司工作的人能领到远超当地人的薪水，能支付得起的租金也高得多。

According toa report published this year, in Spain the average monthly salary is €1,751, 20% less than the EU averageof €2,194.

根据今年发布的一份报告，西班牙的月均工资水平为1751欧元，比欧盟平均水平（2194欧元）低20%。
