英语新闻︱Xi urges all-out rescue efforts

President Xi Jinping called on Monday for all-out efforts to rescue people affected by the magnitude 6.8 earthquake in Luding county in southwestern China's Sichuan province, and he emphasized that saving lives and minimizing casualties should be the primary task.

9月5日，四川甘孜藏族自治州泸定县发生6.8级地震，习近平主席呼吁要求把抢救生命作为首要任务，全力救援受灾群众。

Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks in an instruction shortly after the earthquake occurred.

地震发生后，中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平高度重视并作出重要指示。

The temblor jolted the county, which is in the Ganzi Xizang autonomous prefecture, at 12:52 pm on Monday.

北京时间9月5日12时52分，四川甘孜藏族自治州泸定县发生6.8级地震。

By press time, the disaster had killed at least 46 people — 29 in Ganzi and 17 in neighboring Ya'an — and 16 were missing. It also injured more than 50 and damaged water, electricity, transportation and telecommunication facilities in the region.

截至发稿时，地震已造成46人死亡（其中甘孜州29人、雅安市17人）、16人失联、50余人受伤，部分水、电、交通、通信等基础设施受损。

Xi underlined the need to strengthen earthquake monitoring work to guard against secondary disasters. Efforts should be made to resettle people hit by the earthquake to enable them to get away from danger, he added.

习近平强调，要加强震情监测，防范发生次生灾害，妥善做好受灾群众避险安置等工作。

While instructing the Ministry of Emergency Management to send a task force to Sichuan to help with the rescue operation, Xi also urged the People's Liberation Army and the People's Armed Police Force to cooperate with local governments in the rescue operation to use every means to ensure the safety of people's lives and property.

习近平作出批示，要求应急管理部等部门派工作组前往四川指导抗震救灾工作，解放军和武警部队需要积极配合地方开展工作，尽最大努力确保人民群众生命财产安全。

Also on Monday, Premier Li Keqiang urged efforts to assess the damage caused by the disaster, properly resettle quake-hit residents and repair infrastructure destroyed by the earthquake as soon as possible.

9月5日，中共中央政治局常委、国务院总理李克强作出批示，要求抓紧核实灾情，妥善安置受灾群众，尽快抢修受损的交通、通信等基础设施。

Sun Guangjun, a 72-year-old resident of Luding, said: "Although the epicenter was over 40 kilometers from the Luding county seat, my apartment on the second floor of an old residential building in the county seat shook from south to north for seven or eight seconds. The shaking was more severe than what I felt during the Wenchuan earthquake (on May 12, 2008)."

72岁的泸定县居民孙广军（音译）说：“我家住在泸定县的一栋老居民楼二楼，虽然距离震中有40多公里，但还是上下晃了7到8秒。这次的震感比汶川地震还要强。”

"Very soon, all my neighbors fled outdoors," said Sun, former chairman of the Luding county committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

中国人民政治协商会议泸定县委员会前主席孙广军说：“我的邻居都很迅速地跑到了户外。”

The National Commission for Disaster Reduction and the Ministry of Emergency Management activated a Level IV emergency response to the earthquake. Under China's four-tier emergency response system, Level I represents the most severe response.

国家减灾委、应急管理部启动国家Ⅳ级救灾应急响应。根据我国的四级应急响应分级标准，一级严重程度最高。

The ministry said in a news release that it had sent a team headed by Min Yiren, chief of the China Earthquake Administration, to guide disaster relief work in Luding.

应急管理部表示，已派出中国地震局局长闵宜仁带队的工作组赴现场指导做好抗震救灾工作。

Wang Xiangxi, minister of emergency management, arrived at the ministry's command center soon after the quake to coordinate disaster relief work, according to the release.

据悉，地震发生后，国务院抗震救灾指挥部副指挥长、应急管理部部长王祥喜第一时间赶到部指挥中心调度部署救灾工作。

Officials from the Ganzi prefectural government said at a news conference on Monday that damage to roads, communications facilities and homes was being checked. The prefecture sent 635 rescue personnel, including armed police officers, firefighters, medical workers, communication professionals and power technicians, to carry out rescue and relief work, they said.

9月5日下午，四川省甘孜州人民政府新闻办召开新闻发布会表示，道路、通讯、房屋等受损情况正在核查中。州级相关部门已派出武警、消防、医疗救治、通讯电力、交通保畅等救援力量635人开展抢险工作。

Five seconds after the earthquake, a real-time early warning system developed by the Institute of Care-Life in Chengdu, capital of Si­chuan, said that seismic waves would reach Kangding, the capital of Ganzi prefecture, seven seconds later, the city of Ya'an, adjacent to Luding, in 20 seconds, and Chengdu in 50 seconds.

成都高新减灾研究所开发的预警系统在泸定6.8级地震发生时第5秒发出预警，给康定市提前7秒预警，雅安市提前20秒预警，给成都市提前50秒预警。

Kangding is 53 km from the epicenter, while Ya'an is 99 km and Chengdu is 226 km away from it.

康定距震中53公里，雅安距震中99公里，成都距震中226公里。

In many parts of China, the real-time early warning system operates on TV sets and mobile phones, which people can use in case of an earthquake.

在我国大部分地区，实时预警系统可以通过电视和手机发出预警，以备地震发生时使用。

The system sends warnings seconds after an earthquake is detected and can help save lives because the warnings are transmitted via radio waves, which are able to travel at 300,000 kilometers per second, while seismic shock waves travel at only 3 to 6 km/s, according to Chen Huizhong, a senior researcher at the China Earthquake Administration's Institute of Geophysics.

中国地震局地球物理研究所研究员陈会忠介绍，地震预警系统探测到地震后，迅速发出警报，有助于减少伤亡。因为警报通过电波传输，速度可达30万公里/秒，而地震波的速度仅为3至6公里/秒。

Mountainous Sichuan is prone to earthquakes. The 2008 Wenchuan earthquake killed more than 69,000 people, with 17,923 others reported as missing.

四川千峰万仞，地震频发。2008年汶川地震共造成6.9万多人死亡，17923人失踪。

英语新闻︱神舟十四号乘组两名航天员成功出舱

Chinese astronauts on the Shenzhou XIV mission have started carrying out their first spacewalk, also known as an extravehicular activity, which is scheduled to finish early on Friday morning, according to the China Manned Space Agency.

据中国载人航天工程办公室消息，9月2日，神舟十四号航天员首次出舱活动取得圆满成功。

Mission commander Senior Colonel Chen Dong opened an extravehicular activity hatch on the Tiangong space station at 6:26 pm on Thursday Beijing time and then floated out of the station. He was followed by female crew member Senior Colonel Liu Yang, the agency said in a news release.

北京时间29月1日18时26分，航天员陈冬成功开启问天实验舱气闸舱出舱舱门。至19时09分，航天员陈冬、航天员刘洋成功出舱。

It was the first spacewalk ever conducted by Chen and Liu, both of whom are on their second space journey.

这是航天员陈冬、刘洋首次执行出舱活动任务，第二次执行太空任务。

The other team member－Senior Colonel Cai Xuzhe－stayed inside the station to support their operations, the release said.

其间，航天员蔡旭哲在核心舱内配合支持两名出舱航天员开展舱外操作。

Chen and Liu were tasked with using a robotic arm to install new instruments outside Tiangong, adjusting the panoramic camera and other operations. The two were scheduled to stay outside for around seven hours, according to the agency.

据中国载人航天工程办公室消息，两名出舱航天员的任务是在小机械臂的支持下，进行问天实验舱扩展泵组安装、问天实验舱全景相机抬升等作业，计划出舱活动时长约为7个小时。

It was the first time that astronauts have used the Wentian space lab's airlock cabin to make preparations for and then carry out a spacewalk.

这是我国航天员首次从问天实验舱气闸舱出舱实施舱外活动。

Crew members of previous flights used the airlock cabin on the Tianhe core module to support spacewalks.

此前，我国航天员都是从天和核心舱的节点舱出舱。

With the new cabin, the one on Tianhe has become the backup support facility for future spacewalks.

问天实验舱投入使用之后，天和核心舱便成为后备保障设施。

Zhang Qiao, head designer of Wentian's overall structure at the China Academy of Space Technology, said the new cabin's inner space is bigger than that of the Tianhe module, and its hatch is wider, and these make it easier for astronauts to prepare themselves and carry out spacewalks.

中国空间技术研究院问天实验舱总体系统主任设计师张峤表示，问天实验舱内部空间比天和核心舱更大，出舱口更宽，便于航天员作出舱准备和出舱活动。

The spacewalk also marks the first time that a new type of tether line and a new external lighting system have been used on the Chinese space station.

此次出舱还标志着中国空间站首次使用了新型可伸缩安全系绳和新型舱外照明系统。

Pang Zhihao, a renowned observer of China's manned spaceflights, said astronauts would verify whether the new airlock cabin works well to support spacewalks.

中国空间技术研究院研究员庞之浩表示，航天员将验证问天实验舱气闸舱是否能很好地支持出舱活动。

"It must be more comfortable and convenient for astronauts to use the new cabin for their spacewalk because the section was specifically designed to support extravehicular activities," he said.

庞之浩说：“对于航天员来说，使用问天实验舱进行出舱活动一定会更加舒适方便，因为问天实验舱是专门为舱外活动而设计的。”

"As soon as the astronauts opened the hatch, they must have seen the beautiful scenes of the mother planet, as the hatch is always directed toward the Earth," Pang said.

庞之浩说：“航天员打开舱门便能看到地球的美景，因为舱门朝着地球。”

Pang, who was a senior researcher at the China Academy of Space Technology, said the spacewalk was also intended to demonstrate the capabilities of the robotic arm on the Wentian lab.

庞之浩指出，本次出舱还意在展示问天实验舱小机械臂的工作能力。

Chen and his teammates had spent 88 days in orbit as of Thursday and have conducted a series of tasks such as arranging cargo, testing equipment and conducting scientific experiments, the space agency said.

据中国载人航天工程办公室消息，截至9月1日，神舟十四号航天员乘组已在轨工作生活88天，先后完成了货运飞船物资转移、问天舱平台在轨测试、科学实验机柜解锁与测试等工作。

The crew arrived at Tiangong on the evening of June 5, several hours after their spacecraft was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the northwestern Gobi Desert.

6月5日，搭载神舟十四号载人飞船的长征二号F遥十四运载火箭，在酒泉卫星发射中心点火发射。当晚，航天员便抵达了天宫空间站。

They are scheduled to stay at the station, orbiting 400 kilometers above Earth, for six months to monitor the planned assembly of the colossal outpost.

按照计划，航天员将开展为期6个月的在轨驻留，开展空间站平台维护与照料等工作。

Shenzhou XIV is the sixth spacecraft to visit Tiangong and the third crewed ship to transport astronauts to the station.

神舟十四号是第六艘访问天宫站的飞船,也是第三艘运送宇航员到轨道前哨的载人飞船。

Currently, Tiangong consists of the Tianhe core module, the Tianzhou 4 cargo ship, the Shenzhou XIV spacecraft and the Wentian space lab, which was launched in late July.

目前，天宫空间站由天和核心舱、天舟四号货运飞船、神舟十四号载人飞船和问天实验舱组成。

Mission planners said Tiangong's second lab component, Mengtian, will be lifted by a Long March 5B carrier rocket from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan province in October.

据悉，我国空间站第2个实验舱段梦天实验舱将于今年10月在海南文昌航天发射中心由长征五号B遥四运载火箭运载升空。

After Mengtian is connected with Tiangong, the station will be a T-shaped structure. The entire station is expected to work in orbit for 15 years.

梦天实验舱与天宫空间站对接后，空间站将形成“T”字构型。整个空间站预计将在轨运营15年。

英语新闻︱九价HPV疫苗接种年龄放宽

China's top drug regulator has expanded the use of an imported vaccine against nine strains of the cancer-causing human papillomavirus to girls as young as nine and adults up to age 45.

近日，九价人乳头瘤病毒疫苗（酿酒酵母），也称九价HPV疫苗，获得中国国家药品监督管理局批准，适用接种人群拓展至9-45岁适龄女性。

While hailing the decision as part of China's endeavor to accelerate elimination of cervical cancer, experts said that given the tight supply of the 9-valent vaccine and increasing evidence of the efficacy of homegrown vaccines, it is wise to receive any approved HPV vaccines available.

专家称赞此举彰显了中国加速消除宫颈癌的决心。鉴于九价HPV疫苗一针难求，且国产HPV疫苗也能有效预防宫颈癌，因而接种任一获批HPV疫苗都是明智之举。

The National Medical Products Administration first granted authorization to Gardasil 9, a 9-valent HPV vaccine created by global pharmaceutical giant Merck, for use in females aged 16 to 26 in 2018. On Tuesday, the administration said that its use is now broadened to females aged 9 through 45.

2018年，药企默沙东研发的九价HPV疫苗“佳达修9”首次获批用于16岁至26岁的女性。8月30日，国家药品监督管理局宣布该疫苗适用接种人群拓展至9岁至45岁的适龄女性。

Currently, three imported HPV vaccines and two domestic vaccines have been approved for use on the mainland. Gardasil 9 is the only one that can shield nine strains of HPV, while the others offer protection against either two or four strains.

目前我国已有五款HPV疫苗获批注册，包含了三款进口HPV疫苗和两款国产疫苗。“佳达修9”是唯一能够预防九种HPV病毒类型的疫苗，而其他疫苗则可以抵御两种或四种HPV病毒类型。

Qiao Youlin, a professor at the School of Population Medicine and Public Health at the Peking Union Medical College, said that HPV vaccines work best among teenage girls and those who have not had a sexual encounter, but sexually active women can still benefit from getting vaccinated.

中国医学科学院北京协和医学院群医学及公共卫生学院乔友林教授指出，青少年女孩接种HPV疫苗，容易激发更好的免疫反应，未发生性行为的女性接种HPV疫苗将获得最佳预防效果。

"Expanding the age group eligible for the 9-valent vaccine will offer more options for Chinese females of different ages to prevent HPV infection and protect their health, and advance China's action to accelerate the elimination of cervical cancer," he said in a news release published by Merck on Tuesday.

8月30日，乔友林教授在默沙东公众号发布的文章中表示：“九价HPV疫苗获批扩龄更是令我们倍感振奋，其将为我国不同年龄层的女性预防HPV感染和降低相关疾病风险带来更多守护健康的选择，并进一步推动我国加快消除宫颈癌的步伐。”

In China, nearly 110,000 women were diagnosed with cervical cancer last year, and 59,000 had died of the disease, said Zhao Fanghui, a professor at the National Cancer Center and Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences' Cancer Hospital, citing data from the Global Cancer Observatory, a cancer data platform associated with the World Health Organization.

国家癌症中心、中国医学科学院肿瘤医院的赵方辉教授援引世界卫生组织国际癌症研究机构的数据称，2020年我国宫颈癌新发病例约11万，死亡病例约5.9万。

"Official data also show that the incidence of cervical cancer in China is rising and the average age of patients is getting younger, which is highly concerning," she said.

赵方辉说：“官方数据显示，我国宫颈癌呈现发病率上升、发病年轻化的趋势，这是非常令人担忧的。”

Eliminating the disease would require consolidated efforts in boosting the vaccination rate, especially among those aged under 15, as well as promoting early screening and treatment. Due to limited supplies and low awareness, China is now lagging far behind some leading countries in terms of immunization coverage, according to Zhao.

赵方辉表示，消除宫颈癌还需加强努力，提高疫苗接种率，尤其是15岁以下人群的接种率，促进癌症筛查和早诊早治。由于HPV疫苗供应有限，公众认知不高，中国目前的疫苗覆盖率仍处于较低水平。

However, the rising number of highly effective domestic vaccines available on the market is expected to ramp up the efforts.

不过，具有高保护效力的国产HPV疫苗数量逐年增加，为中国宫颈癌防治事业增添了新动力。

Six homegrown 9-valent HPV vaccines have entered the third stage of clinical trials, according to information shared by Dong Shaozhong, a researcher at Walvax Biotechnology, during a forum held during the weekend. Doses that protect against even more strains are also under research.

沃森生物研究员董少忠表示，6种国产九价HPV疫苗已经进入Ⅲ期临床试验阶段，预防更多HPV病毒类型的疫苗也在研发中。

Even though the highly-coveted 9-valent vaccine is not easily available at present, Zhao said unvaccinated groups should not hesitate to receive a dose that protects against two strains.

赵方辉表示，九价HPV疫苗一针难求，适龄女性不必盲目等待高价次疫苗，可尽早接种二价HPV疫苗。

A new study published in the journal The Lancet Infectious Disease on Friday shows that Cecolin, the first domestic vaccine that protects against two HPV strains, is 100 percent effective in protecting against genital lesions－a precancerous condition－and 97.3 percent effective against persistent infection.

8月26日，《柳叶刀-感染病学》发表的一项新研究表明，国产HPV疫苗馨可宁可有效预防HPV16型和18型病毒类型，对HPV16型和/或18型感染相关的病变终点的保护率为100.0%，对HPV16型和/或18型持续性感染（6月以上）的保护率为97.3%。

Zhao, who is involved in the study, said the data shows that the domestic vaccine's efficacy is on par with its international alternatives.

参与此项研究的赵方辉教授表示，数据显示，国产疫苗与进口疫苗的疗效不相上下。

Moreover, the two types of HPV that the vaccine is capable of protecting against cause about 84.5 percent of cervical squamous cancer cases－the most common form of cervical cancer－in China, higher than the global average of 70 percent.

馨可宁能够预防约84.5%的宫颈癌鳞癌病例，宫颈癌鳞癌是我国宫颈癌当中最为常见的类型，发病率高于全球平均水平七成。

"The follow-up study that tracks more than 7,300 women for about 5.5 years adds evidence to the long-term protection provided by the domestic vaccine," she said. "It can also inform the formulation of public health policies and boost public confidence in and acceptance of domestic vaccines," she said.

赵方辉介绍说：“研究团队对7300多名志愿者进行了为期5年半的随访，为国产疫苗的高保护率提供了数据支撑”赵方辉说道：“研究结果为公共卫生政策的制定提供了必要信息，还有利于提高公众对国产疫苗的信心与接受度。”

While the latest authorization for Gardasil 9 means that more well-off groups can access the vaccine, Zhao suggested the general public not hesitate to receive available vaccines as soon as possible.

虽然“佳达修9”接种年龄放宽意味着更多富人能够打上疫苗，但赵方辉建议公众不必执着高价数疫苗，及早接种疫苗。

英语新闻∣生育罢工：韩国再创世界最低生育率

South Korea has again recorded the world's lowest fertility rate with the numbersinkingto a new low.

韩国出生人口再创新低，又一次创下世界最低生育率纪录。

The rate in the country first dropped lower than one child per woman in 2018.

2018年韩国生育率首次降到平均每名女性生育孩子数量不到一个的水平。

But on Wednesday, figures released by the government showed the figure had dropped to 0.81 - down from 0.84 the previous year, and a sixthconsecutivedecline.

然而8月24日韩国政府发布的数据表明，这一数据已经从一年前的0.84降到了0.81，连续第六年下降。

In comparison, the average rate across the world's most advanced economies is 1.6 children.

相比之下，世界最发达经济体的平均生育率为每名女性生育1.6个孩子。

Countries need at least two children per couple - a 2.1 rate - to keep their population at the same size, without migration.

一个国家中每对夫妇需要生育至少2个孩子（2.1的生育率）才能在没有移民的情况下维持原有的人口规模。

Fertility rates have "declined markedly" in the past six decades says the OECD - Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

经济合作与发展组织称，过去60年来生育率已“显著下降”。

But the trend has been particularlypronouncedin South Korea, where family sizes have reduced in the span of a few generations. At the start of the 1970s women had four children on average.

但是这一趋势在韩国尤为明显，韩国的家庭规模在过去几代不断缩小。上世纪70年代初，平均每名韩国女性生育4个小孩。

A declining population can put a country under immense strain. Apart from increased pressure on public spending as demand for healthcare systems and pensions rise, a declining youth population also leads to labour shortages that impact the economy.

人口减少会让一个国家承受重压。随着人们对医疗系统和养老金的需求增大，公共支出面临的压力与日俱增，除此之外，青年人口减少还会导致劳动力短缺，从而对经济产生影响。

In 2020 there was widespread alarm in South Korea when it recorded more deaths than births for the first time.

2020年韩国登记的死亡人数首次超过出生人数，引发普遍的恐慌情绪。

In recent years, economic pressures and career factors have been keyconsiderationsfor people deciding on children, experts say.

专家指出，近年来经济压力和事业方面的考虑一直是人们决定是否要小孩的关键因素。

For the 2021 figures, experts cited higher living costs, a spike in house prices and the impact of the Covid pandemic as factors discouraging them from having children.

专家称，从2021年的数据来看，生活成本上涨、房价飙升和疫情影响都是阻碍人们生育的因素。

A crisis is brewing. If South Korea's population continues to shrink, there won't be enough people to grow its economy, look after its aging population, andconscriptinto its army.

一场危机正在酝酿当中。如果韩国人口继续缩水，将不会有足够的人口来发展经济、照顾老龄化人口和征兵入伍。

Politicians have known for years this is coming but have been unable to fix it. They have thrown billions of dollars at trying to convince people to have children and are still scratching their heads as to why this hasn't worked.

多年以前，韩国政界人士就意识到这场危机即将来临，但是却一直无能为力。他们投入了数十亿美元试图鼓励人们去生孩子，但是却没有奏效，他们也感到很费解。

Money of course is a factor. Raising children in South Korea is expensive, and many young people are sinking under astronomical housing costs. But this is also about opportunity.

缺钱肯定是影响生育的因素之一。在韩国养孩子很烧钱，许多年轻人都因高昂的房价而压力山大。但是人们选择不生育也和工作机遇有关。

Women in South Korea are highly educated, yet far from equal in the workplace. The country has the highest gender pay gap of any rich country. Most of the housework and childcare in South Korea still falls to women and it is common for women to stop work after having children or for their careers tostagnate.

韩国女性普遍受过高等教育，但是在职场上的地位却远远不能和男性相提并论。韩国的性别收入差距在富国中是最大的。在韩国，家务和育儿重担都落在女性肩上，女性在生完孩子后不再工作或事业陷入停滞的情况很常见。

Essentially, many women here are still forced to choose between having a career and having a family. Increasingly they are deciding they don't want to sacrifice their careers.

基本上，许多韩国女性仍被迫在事业和家庭之间做选择。越来越多女性决定不牺牲自己的事业。

As one woman put it to me: "we are on a baby-making strike".

就像一位韩国女性说的那样：“我们正在生育罢工。”
