    >Large-scale cluster of ancient tombs discovered
    广西发现7万平米大型古墓群



    Archaeologists recently discovered a large-scale cluster of ancient tombs dating back to the Six Dynasties period to the Sui and Tang Dynasties (222-907) in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. Covering an area of 70,000 square meters, the cluster of some 200 tombs is located in Dashugen Village, Fucheng Township of Beihai City.
    考古工作者在广西壮族自治区北海市银海区福成镇古城村委大树根村发现7万平方米古墓葬群,初步调查勘探大树根古墓群约有200座古墓,专家推测该墓葬群的年代约在六朝至隋唐时期。


    The most prominent feature of the cluster is that most tomb chambers were constructed with stone pieces, but some tombs were made of brick and stone.
    据介绍,该墓葬群最突出的特征是墓室普遍采用一种俗称”砂轮片”的石片构筑,也有部分墓葬以砖石合构。


    Relics including pottery with diversified patterns, ironware and bricks with inscriptions were excavated from the tombs.
    墓地采集遗物有陶器、瓷器、铁器等类。此外还发现少量”窅亭”铭文砖。


    Experts said that these archaeological discoveries are of great research value.
    专家称该墓葬群具有较高的研究价值。

    >Autoimmune diseases spread
    全球自身免疫性疾病病例激增



    Autoimmune diseases range from type 1 diabetes to rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and multiple sclerosis.
    自身免疫性疾病包括1型糖尿病、类风湿性关节炎、炎性肠病和多发性硬化症。


    In each case, the immune system gets its wires crossed and turns on healthy tissue instead of infectious agents.
    上述每种疾病都会使免疫系统出现错乱,攻击自身健康组织而非病原体。


    In the UK alone, at least 4 million people have developed such conditions, with some individuals suffering more than one.
    仅在英国,就有至少400万人患上这类疾病,有些人出现不止一种病症。


    Internationally, it is now estimated that cases of autoimmune diseases are rising by 3% to 9% a year.
    据估计,目前全球自身免疫性疾病病例每年增长为3%至9%。


    Most scientists believe environmental factors play a key role in this rise.
    大多数科学家认为环境因素在其中发挥重要影响。


    Fast-food diets lack certain important ingredients, such as fiber, and evidence suggests this alteration affects a person’s microbiome – the collection of micro-organisms that we have in our gut and which play a key role in controlling various bodily functions.
    快餐饮食缺乏某些重要营养成分,如膳食纤维,有证据表明这种饮食改变会影响人体内的微生物群(肠道微生物群),它们对调节身体各方面功能起着关键作用。


    These changes in our microbiomes are then triggering autoimmune diseases, of which more than 100 types have now been discovered.
    微生物群的这些变化便会引发自身免疫性疾病,目前已经发现了100多种该类型疾病。

  • 更多中国企业力求创新|More Chinese firms strive to spur innovation

    更多中国企业力求创新|More Chinese firms strive to spur innovation

    The innovative vitality of Chinese businesses was further stimulated last year, as a growing number of domestic market entities registered invention patents, a senior intellectual property regulator said.

    一位高级知识产权官员表示,2021年,随着注册发明专利的企业数量增加,国内市场主体创新活力得到进一步激发。

    Hu Wenhui, deputy commissioner of the China National Intellectual Property Administration, said at a news conference hosted by the State Council Information Office on Wednesday that around 298,000 Chinese enterprises held valid invention patents by the end of last year, 52,000 more than in 2020.

    在12日举行的国新办新闻发布会上,中国国家知识产权局副局长胡文辉表示,截至2021年底,我国国内拥有有效发明专利的企业达到29.8万家,比2020年增加5.2万家。

    He added that Chinese companies held more than 1.9 million valid invention patents, up 22.6 percent year-on-year.

    胡文辉表示,国内企业拥有有效发明专利190.8万件,同比增长22.6%。

    Among them, more than 63 percent were technology-related, "which means our domestic innovation and creative abilities are becoming much stronger", he added.

    其中,高新技术企业拥有的有效发明专利占国内企业总量的63.6%,“这体现出我国市场主体创新创造能力不断增强”。

    Hu added that the number of such patents increased rapidly in three major fields-information technology management, computer technology and medical technology.

    胡文辉表示,信息技术管理方法、计算机技术和医疗技术成为我国国内发明专利有效量增长最快的3个领域。

    Kang Lixia, a lawyer specializing in handling IPR disputes from Beijing Conzen Law Firm, said that the growing number of patents in high-tech industries reflected policy moves to support business transformation, promote industrial upgrading and better meet public demand.

    北京从真律师事务所专门代理知识产权纠纷案的康丽霞律师表示,高新技术产业的专利数量不断增长反映了政策正往支持企业转型,促进产业升级,更好地满足公众需求的方向转变。

    "China has provided a series of preferential policies in recent years to encourage domestic enterprises to innovate technologies and improve their ability in terms of self-development, which has led many companies to expand their business to high-tech areas, such as the digital economy, new energy and healthcare," she said.

    康丽霞律师表示,“近年来,中国出台了一系列优惠政策,鼓励国内企业创新科技,提升自主研发能力,这使得很多企业将其商业版图扩大到高新技术领域,比如数字经济,新能源和医疗。”

    "For example, since the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world, online medical care services and products have been more needed among the public. As a result, many firms, including those previously focusing on manufacturing, have begun transforming and paying greater efforts to study healthcare-related technologies to meet this demand."

    “例如,自从新冠病毒席卷全球,线上医疗产品和服务成为热门。为了满足这一需求,包括一些之前专注于制造业的企业在内,很多企业已经开始转型,加大对医疗技术研究的投入。” 

    She said that the improved policies and growing public demand have both contributed to the rapid growth of high-tech enterprises in China. "The more such businesses we have, the greater the number of valid invention patents we can see," she said.

    康丽霞律师表示,政策的完善和公众需求的增加共同促进了中国高新技术企业的快速发展,“这样的企业越多,有效发明专利的数量就越多。”

    "The concept that 'invention means creativity' is key to continuously stimulating our domestic market vitality," she added.

    康丽霞律师表示,“‘发明即创新’这一理念是持续激发国内市场活力的关键”

    Meanwhile, China has also seen a rising number of patent and trademark applications made by foreign businesses.

    与此同时,外国企业在华专利和商标申请数量也呈增长趋势。

    According to the administration, China granted about 110,000 invention patents to foreign applicants last year, a 23 percent increase on 2020, and it also agreed 194,000 trademarks registered by foreign entities, up 5.2 percent year-on-year.

    据统计,2021年,国外申请人在华发明专利授权11万件,同比增长23.0%;商标注册19.4万件,同比增长5.2%。

    "The rising figures indicated that foreign enterprises are more confident in the country's IPR protection and its business environment," Hu said.

    胡文辉表示,国外在华知识产权数量保持较快增长,表明外国企业对中国知识产权保护和营商环境的信心进一步增强。

    In 2021, invention patents that Chinese regulators granted to United States applicants rose 32.1 percent year-on-year, and trademarks registered by US applicants in China surged by 17.3 percent year-on-year, according to the administration.

    据统计,2021年,美国在华发明专利授权、商标注册同比分别增长32.1%和17.3%。

    It added that it has accelerated its review of COVID-19-related patent applications, offering a quick channel for those related to vaccine development and epidemic control.

    此外,有关部门还加快了新冠病毒相关专利申请的审理速度,为疫苗研发和疫情控制相关的专利开通了快速通道。

    社评:坚持防控保民生,迎战奥密克戎|Omicron rings alarm

    Anyang, a city with a population of 5 million in Henan province, was locked down on Monday. It is the third city to hit the pause button in China over the past month, highlighting the challenge the country still faces in its fight against the novel coronavirus.

    拥有500万居民的河南省安阳市已经于10日起进入封锁状态。安阳是在过去一个月里第三个按下暂停键的城市,这意味着中国在抗击新冠疫情上仍面临重大挑战。

    There were 110 locally transmitted infections reported in the Chinese mainland on Monday, among which 87 were in Henan, 13 in Shaanxi province and 10 in Tianjin. As of Tuesday noon, Tianjin has reported a total of 97 cases since last weekend.

    1月10日0至24时,31个省(自治区、直辖市)和新疆生产建设兵团报告新增本土病例110例(其中河南87例,陕西13例,天津10例)。截至11日12时,在过去一周内,天津市共报告新冠肺炎病毒感染者97例。

    It is not only the numbers themselves that have prompted the local authorities to make the decisions to lock down these cities but more importantly they have been spurred to do so by the potential of the virus to inflict damage on public health, social stability and the economy should the infections spread.

    当地政府决定封城考虑的不仅仅是感染人数本身,更重要的是一旦感染扩大,新冠病毒可能会给公众健康、社会稳定和经济发展造成巨大损失。

    Arguably the only major country to have adopted a zero-tolerance approach in its fight against the virus, China has always acted quickly so it can seize the initiative — which many countries have surrendered long ago. Thanks to its perseverance and inputs into its zero-case strategy, particularly the over 80 percent vaccinationrate, the last death caused by the virus on the mainland dates back to January last year.

    很多国家早已向新冠病毒投降,但中国作为唯一一个采用“清零”政策对抗新冠肺炎疫情的大国,一直凭借反应快速掌控着主动权。正是由于对“清零”政策的坚持和付出,尤其是疫苗接种率超过80%,从去年1月至今,大陆还未有死亡病例出现。

    As such, although the number of infections are low, the lockdowns are not unreasonable. Particularly since the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games will soon open and the Lunar New Year holiday is just three weeks away and this is a peak travel period.

    同样地,尽管感染人数很少,决定封城仍然是合理的。特别是考虑到2022年北京冬奥会即将开幕,并且三周后的春节假期又将带来出行高峰。

    Notably, the cases in Tianjin and Anyang are the highly infectious Omicron variant of the virus, and according to the Tianjin epidemic prevention and control department, the variant might have been transmitting in the port city with a population of 14 million for at least two weeks before it was identified last weekend, with the origin of the infections remaining unknown. That the cases in Anyang can be traced back to Tianjin means the cross-region transmission of the Omicron variant is already a reality. Neighboring Beijing and Hebei provinces must be on the highest alert.

    值得注意的是,天津和河南安阳的感染病例属于高传染性的奥密克戎变异株。根据天津市疫情防控部门通告,这起疫情在被发现前,有可能已经在这个有1400万人口的港口城市传播了至少两周。此外,安阳的病例可以追溯到天津,这意味着奥密克戎变异株的跨区域传播已经成为现实。邻近的北京和河北省必须处于最高警戒状态。

    A national transport hub in Central China, Henan has every reason to take strict measures to cut the transmission chains of the virus in its jurisdiction as is being done in the provincial capital Zhengzhou and neighboring Xuchang. Without such efforts, Henan could easily become a steppingstone for the virus to extend its transmission chains nationwide, which would undo what the country has achieved over the past two years.

    作为中部地区的交通枢纽,河南完全有理由在其管辖范围内采取严格措施,切断病毒的传播链,就像其省会郑州及相邻的许昌所做的那样。如果没有这些疫情防控措施,河南很容易成为病毒传播链向全国延长的关键一环, 这将使得中国在过去两年中所取得的抗疫成就付诸东流。

    The tranquility of people's lives in the rest of the country is partly attributable to those bravely fighting on the front line in the affected regions. But the battle against the virus is a people's war, and people are either already engaged in the fight in some capacity or in reserve.

    全国其他地区人民生活的平静和安宁有一部分要归功于奋战在抗疫一线的工作人员。但与病毒的斗争是一场人民的战争。人们要么已经以某种身份参与战斗,要么正准备参与战斗。

    The whole country must raise its vigilance again and overcome any sluggishness or complacency, as now is another critical phase in the seesaw battle with the virus that treats all encounters as its first.

    目前正处于抗疫拉锯战的又一个关键阶段,全国上下要像初次面对疫情一样,提高警惕,克服任何懈怠或自满情绪。

    河南同时迎战德尔塔和奥密克戎,一学校发现9名阳性病例|Henan is battling both the Delta and Omicron variants, 9 positive cases reported in a school

    Genome sequencing by the Henan Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention found two locally transmitted cases of COVID-19 in Anyang were the highly transmissible Omicronvariant, Anyang Daily reported on Monday.

    据安阳日报10日报道,经河南省疾控中心实验室病毒基因测序显示,安阳市2例本土病例感染病毒均为高传染性的奥密克戎变异株。

    The coronavirus is from the same transmission chain as the current outbreak in Tianjin's Jinnan district, the center said.

    据疾控中心消息,安阳市病例与天津市津南区现有本地疫情属同一传播链。

    Tangyin county of Anyang city in Henan province reported nine new locally transmitted cases of COVID-19, all of which were found in Yucai School, officials said at a news conference on Monday afternoon.

    10日下午的新闻发布会通报了河南省安阳市汤阴县发现了9例新增本土传播病例,均在育才学校。

     


    "After Anyang reported the first two cases of the recent outbreak on Sunday, among them a school student, the county immediately launched nucleic acid testing in the school on Sunday," Yang Jian, deputy director of the county's Publicity Department said. "Nine of them tested positive and were diagnosed as confirmed cases on Monday after experts' consultation."

    安阳县委宣传部副部长杨健介绍说:“1月9日,在安阳市发现最初两例病例中一人为学生后,汤阴县立即对育才学校进行了全员核酸检测,发现该学校9名人员核酸检测阳性,1月9日,经复核和专家研判,确诊为新冠肺炎病例。”

    All the infected people have been shifted to the Anyang Fifth People's Hospital for quarantining and treatment. Over 430 of their close contacts in the county have also been traced.

    所有感染者已经被转移到安阳市第五人民医院进行隔离治疗,并已排查出430多名密接者。

    To prevent further spread of the virus in the school, 4,040 people attached to the school are being kept under medical observation at three places.

    为了防止疫情在育才学校进一步扩散,汤阴县将育才学校封控管理的4040人,闭环转运至三个集中医学观察点。

    According to the county's epidemic prevention and control headquarters, the county completed the first round of nucleic acid testing covering 388,396 local residents on Sunday and has now launched the second round of tests.

    据汤阴县疫情防控指挥部通报,全县已经于10日完成了第一轮核酸检测,共采集样本388396个,目前已经启动第二轮全员核酸检测。

    The headquarters didn't mention the source of the nine new cases and said the result of the first round of tests would be published as soon as they get it.

    指挥部并没有说明9名新增病例的感染源头,并提到第一轮核酸检测结果会在结果出具后进行公告。

  • 听了一场太空授课,外籍记者半夜跑去打卡了!

    For centuries, the cosmos has fascinated mankind.

    数个世纪以来人类深深着迷于宇宙的魅力

    And today, with missions such as the Shenzhou XIII, we are still captivated.

    如今随着神州十三号等航天任务的实现,我们对外太空的探索更加着迷

    China's astronomical history stretches back over 3000 years, but its modern space program began in the 1970s when China became the fifth country to launch a satellite into orbit.

    中国的天文史可以追溯至3000多年前 但其现代太空计划始于20世纪70年代 当时中国成为世界上第五个自行研制和发射人造卫星的国家

    Rocket ahead three decades to the Shenzhou space missions, which saw China become the third country to send a man into space.

    飞速发展三十年后神舟系列飞行任务使中国成为第三个将人类送入太空的国家

    The most recent Shenzhou mission includes installing additional equipment to China's Tiangong space station, experiments in space medicine, streaming educational lectures and features China's first female spacewalker.

    最近发射的神舟十三号不仅为中国的天宫空间站安装额外设备实施航天医学实验 进行太空直播授课 还完成了中国女性首次舱外太空行走

    You can channel your inner astronaut at the local planetarium, of which China has over 70 open to the public, featuring immersive multimedia hands-on activities and artifacts.

    目前中国有超过70个天文馆向公众开放 你可以在这里实现内心的宇航员梦

    馆内有沉浸式多媒体展览互动活动 以及珍贵样本

    While planetariums are relatively modern institutions, observatories have been around for thousands of years.

    虽然天文馆属于较为现代的机构但天文台已经有数千年的历史了

    And Beijing is home to one of the oldest pre-telescopic observatories in the world.

    而在望远镜发明之前北京则有着现存最古老的天文台之一

    Built in 1442, the Beijing Ancient Observatory served as a national observatory for the Ming and Qing dynasties.

    北京古观象台建于公元1442年 曾是明清两代的国家天文台

    As travel between China and the West developed, so too the collaborations between Chinese and Western astronomers.

    随着中西方之间的往来日益密切中国和西方天文学家之间的合作也得到了进一步发展

    Astronomy plays a very important role in traditional Chinese culture.

    因为天文学在中国的传统文化里边是占据非常重要的作用

    Chinese emperors were revered as"Tianzi”, literally the Son of Heaven,

    像我们的皇帝他被称为天子

    therefore, astronomy denotes political dominance.

    所以说天文学象征着一个政治统治的含义

    As time went by, the lunar calendar in ancient China might become inaccurate and thus needed to be revised.

    然后因为我们当时行用的历法行用久了它可能就会不准确 就会进行修改

    Back then, western astronomy has entered an advanced stage of development.

    然后西方的天文学刚好也是基本上发展到了一个比较发达的阶段

    As a result, an integration occurred between Western and Chinese astronomy.

    这样刚好来跟我们中国的天文学发生了一个融合

    The most precious heritage that ancient Chinese astronomy has left to our contemporary astronomers and the world

    中国古代天文学留给我们现在天文学家留给世界最宝贵的遗产

    isits 2,000 years of uninterrupted record of astronomical observations,

    就是中国连续2000年不断的天文观测的一个记录

    which is of great significance to current astronomical research.

    对我们现在天文的一些研究有非常重要的意义

    For example, it was recorded that "the Betelgeuse was yellow,"

    比如说“参左肩是黄色”

    meaning Betelgeuse observed in the past was yellow.

    就是说在那个时代观测参宿四是黄色的

    But now if we look at it, we’ll find that Betelgeuse, orαOrionis, is a red star.

    然后但是我们现代人如果看它参宿四是猎户座α 它是一颗红色的星

    This indicates that the star actually has evolved during the past 2,000 years.

    这是说明了就是2000年期间 这颗恒星它其实是发生了演化

    Indeed, the records of the color change of stars serve as an essential reference for our astronomers today to study the evolution of celestial bodies.

    关于恒星颜色变化的记载对我们现在天文学家研究天体演化其实是提供了非常重要的参考的

    If you're inspired by these ancient astronomers like I am, you will want to go out and do some stargazing of your own.

    如果你也和我一样深受这些古天文学家的启发 那不如走出户外 亲自体验观星的乐趣吧

    And as luck would have it, there is a meteor shower this week.

    碰巧的是这周(12月13日)就有一场流星雨

    I'm going back to the studio to meet with an expert for some top tips.

    我现在就回工作室向一位专家请教拍摄流星雨的诀窍

    We'll talk about how you can actually capture that.

    我们今天就来讲讲如何抓拍流星

    Yes. Yes.

    没错我正需要

    So the main thing you can use is any DSLR camera.

    首先你可以使用任何一款单反相机

    Okay.

    好的

    The main thing you just have to do is set the shutter speed of the camera to just, take the longer exposure.

    关键要把相机的快门速度调慢以获得较长时间的曝光

    The next thing is, you need a fast lens.

    此外你还需要一个大光圈镜头

    You're trying to capture light from the universe.

    因为你想要从太空中捕捉光线

    So it's dark.

    而外太空较为黯淡

    So you need that aperture to be as big as possible to capture as much light.

    所以你需要尽可能大的光圈来尽可能多地吸收光线

    Set up a tripod and position your shot and take photos.

    搭好三脚架镜头对准 然后就可以拍照了

    Okay, thank you so much for joining us today.

    懂了非常感谢你今天来我们的节目

    Yes, absolutely.

    没问题

    Alright, let's go and take some photos, everybody.

    好啦各位我们一起去拍些照吧

    So we're just outside the city center.

    我们现在来到了郊外

    It's about two in the morning and we are here to see the Geminid meteor shower.

    现在是凌晨两点左右我们此行要看的是双子座流星雨

    And just walking up here, we've seen three or four shooting stars already.

    刚才一路走上来我们已经看到了三四颗流星

    So I'm really excited to set up and see if we can get any good photos of the meteors tonight.

    我现在好兴奋相机已经架好 看看今晚能否捕捉到流星划过

    We saw several shooting stars and some of them were so bright.

    我们刚才看到了几颗流星有些特别亮

    It was so cool.

    真是太赞了

    And hopefully, we got at least one of them on camera.

    希望我们的相机至少拍到了其中一颗

    I hope this video inspires you to go out, do a little space exploration of your own.

    希望看完本期视频的你也能出去走走开始属于你的太空探索

    Thanks for joining me.

    感谢收看本期节目

    Until next time.

    我们下期再见啦

  • 天津:抓紧开展全员筛查,全力筑牢疫情防控网

    天津:抓紧开展全员筛查,全力筑牢疫情防控网丨Tianjin starts mass testing amid outbreak

    据天津当地卫生部门表示,天津于上周日启动大规模核酸筛查,此前该市检测出40例新冠肺炎阳性病例。

    Tianjin launched mass COVID-19 testing on Sunday as 40 people tested positive for the virus over the weekend, local health officials said.

    周六上午,一名10岁的学生和一名29岁的校外辅导中心员工是最早被确认的两例病例。天津市疾病预防控制中心称,上述两例确诊患者基因测序为具有高度传染性的奥密克戎变异株。

    The first two cases, a 10-year-old student and a 29-year-old employee at an after-school tutoring center, were identified on Saturday morning. Genome sequencing showed that they have contracted the highly transmissible Omicron variant, according to the city's disease control leading task force.

    相关部门追踪了上述病例的密切接触者,并对该市高危地区进行了核酸检测。截至周日晚9点,另有38人检测呈阳性,其中包括一些中小学生及其家人。

    Close contacts of the cases were traced and nucleic acid testing was launched for high-risk areas in the city. By 9 pm on Sunday, 38 other people tested positive, including some primary and middle school students and their family members.

    天津市疾病预防控制中心副主任张颖在周六的新闻发布会上表示,该市本轮疫情病毒至少已传播三代人。张颖称,“有可能在这个社区里面的传播已经持续了一段时间,有可能会出现其他的阳性感染者。”

    Zhang Ying, deputy director of the city's disease control and prevention center, said at a news briefing on Saturday that the virus had spread in Tianjin through three contacts. "Transmission in communities has likely existed for some time and more positive cases might emerge," Zhang said.

    张颖表示,新一轮感染的源头仍然在调查之中。

    The source of the new cluster is still being investigated, she said.

    去年,天津是中国大陆第一个报告奥密克戎变异株的城市。12月13日该市政府官员表示,12月9日从波兰抵达的一名乘客检测出奥密克戎阳性。

    Last year, Tianjin was the first city on the Chinese mainland to report an Omicron case. On Dec 13, city officials said a passenger who arrived from Poland on Dec 9 had tested positive for the new strain.

     


    然而,疾控中心工作人员说,没有足够的证据证明天津新一轮感染与之前检测出的奥密克戎病例有关。

    However, health officials said that there is not enough evidence to support the theory that the new cluster is linked to the previous Omicron case.

    作为防控措施的一部分,天津市于周日上午开始对全市范围内1400万居民进行核酸筛查。官方称,大规模检测将于周一完成。据悉,未在规定时间内参加检测的居民健康码将变成橙色,这表示他们的健康状况可疑。

    As part of control measures, Tianjin began citywide testing of its 14 million residents on Sunday morning. The mass testing is due to be completed on Monday, officials said. The health codes of residents who fail to take the test on time will turn orange-signifying their health status is suspicious, they said.

    周日晚,天津市政府还发布了一项关于收紧出津旅游的新规定。

    The Tianjin municipal government also issued a regulation on Sunday night to tighten travel out of the city.

    广大市民群众非必要不离津,确需离津的,自9日24时起,须持有48小时内核酸检测阴性证明。天津市还将严格管控进京通道。

    People are advised to not leave the city unless it is extremely necessary. Travelers who have to leave the city would have to show their health codes and negative nucleic acid test results no older than 48 hours. The city will also strengthen management of travelers to Beijing to ensure they are healthy.

    周日,天津市委书记李鸿忠在会上表示,天津要坚决筑牢首都疫情防控“护城河”,以最快速度、最小代价控制疫情扩散。

    Li Hongzhong, Party secretary of Tianjin, said at a meeting on Sunday that the city, as a traditional guardian of Beijing, must shoulder the responsibility of protecting the capital from the virus's assault and quickly and efficiently curb its spread.

    北京市疾病预防控制中心周日晚间表示,建议京津通勤人员居家办公。非必要,不鼓励城际旅行。

    The Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention said on Sunday evening that people who commute between Beijing and Tianjin should work from home. Intercity trips are also discouraged unless for essential reasons.

    在全国范围内,陕西西安的疫情防控工作已见成效。国家卫生健康委员会工作人员贺青华在周六的新闻发布会上表示,河南关联疫情波及河南、浙江以及上海,疫情处于初期。

    Nationwide, the outbreak in Xi'an, Shaanxi province, is gradually being brought under control. Infection clusters in Henan and Zhejiang provinces, as well as Shanghai, are connected and at an early stage, He Qinghua, an official at the National Health Commission, said at a news briefing on Saturday.

  • 立完新年flag,如何高效达成目标?请收下这份攻略!

    立完新年flag,如何高效达成目标?请收下这份攻略|5 Science-based Strategies for Nailing Your New Year's Resolutions

     

    1.Make a cue-based plan

    做一份详细的计划

    Just as cues tell Broadway stars when to step onto the stage, research has shown that adding a cue to your plan helps you remember when to act. Be sure to detail when and where you'll follow through.

    正如出场提示告诉百老汇明星何时登台一样,研究表明,在你的计划中加入信息提示,能帮助你记住何时行动。一定要详细说明你将在何时何地做什么。

     


    If your New Year's resolution is to meditate five days each week, a plan like "I'll meditate on weekdays" would be too vague. But a cue-based plan like "I'll meditate at the office on weekdays during my lunch break" would fit the bill.

    如果你的新年计划是每周冥想五天,那么像“我将在工作日冥想”这样的计划就太模糊了。但是,“我将在工作日的午休时间在办公室冥想”这样有信息提示的计划就很合适。

    Plotting when and where you'll execute on your New Year's resolution jogs your memory when it's opportune and generates guilt if you flake out. Detailed planning can also help you anticipate and dodge obstacles -- so if you plan to meditate during lunch, you'll be sure to decline a proffered lunch meeting.

    提前想好你会在何时何地执行计划,这样做能在适当的时候让你想起自己的计划,如果你没有按照计划去做,就会产生内疚感。详细的计划也可以帮助你预测和避免阻碍——如果你计划在午餐时冥想,你一定会拒绝别人提出的午餐会议。

    2.Consider a penalty clause

    设置惩罚条款

    This may sound sinister, but ensuring you'll face some penalty if you don't achieve your New Year's resolution can work wonders.

    这听起来可能有点狠,但如果完不成新年计划会让你受到一些惩罚的话,这可以创造奇迹。

    One easy way to do this is by telling a few people about your goal so you'll feel ashamed if they check back later and find out you haven't followed through.

    一个简单的方法是把你的目标告诉一些人,这样,如果他们后来发现你没有坚持下去,你会感到羞愧。

     


    A steeper penalty than shame, however, is putting cold hard cash on the table, and there is excellent evidence that self-imposed cash penalties motivate success. You can make a bet with a friend that you'll stick to your New Year's resolution. The logic for why this works is simple. Incentives change our decisions, and penalties are even more motivating than rewards.

    而比羞愧感更有效的是金钱惩罚。有证据表明,自我施加的金钱惩罚可以激励成功。你可以和朋友打赌,赌你会坚持新年计划。这样做的逻辑很简单。激励措施会改变我们的决定,而惩罚甚至比奖励让我们更有动力。

    3.Make it fun

    找些乐趣

    Most of us strive for efficiency when it comes to achieving our goals. If you want to get fit, you figure a punishing workout will be just the thing to produce rapid progress. If you want to ace a class, you assume long, distraction-free study sessions are key. But research has shown that focusing on efficiency can leave you high and dry because you'll neglect an even more important part of the equation: whether you enjoy the act of goal pursuit.

    在完成目标的过程中,大多数人都力求高效。如果你的目标是锻炼身体,你会认为高强度的锻炼将能让你快速取得成效。如果你想学好一门功课,你会认为长时间、不被打扰的学习很重要。但研究表明,专注于效率会让你被困在原地,因为你会忽略更重要的事:你是否享受追求目标的过程。

    If it's not fun to exercise or study, you're unlikely to keep at it. But if you get pleasure from your workouts or study sessions, research has found you'll persist longer. And in the end, that's what often matters most to achieving a New Year's resolution.

    如果锻炼或学习没有乐趣,就不太可能坚持下去。但研究发现如果你从锻炼或学习中获得乐趣,就会坚持得更久。而最终,这往往是实现新年计划最重要的因素。

    One way to make pursuing a goal that normally feels like a chore more fun is to combine it with a guilty pleasure. Consider only letting yourself watch your favorite TV show at the gym so you'll start looking forward to workouts. Or only letting yourself drink a mocha latte during study sessions so there is a hook to get you to the library.

    想要把追求一个辛苦的目标变得更有趣,方法就是把它与有罪恶感的快乐结合起来。如果只允许自己在健身房看最喜欢的电视节目,你就会开始期待锻炼了。或者只让自己在学习期间喝摩卡拿铁,这样就有了去图书馆的动力。

    4.Allow for emergencies

    允许紧急情况

    If you deviate at all from your New Year's resolution, your instinct may be to declare yourself a failure and throw in the towel. Researchers call this the "what the hell effect." Here's what it looks like: You planned to get to bed early every night but couldn't resist staying up late one Friday to watch an extra episode of "Succession." After that, your early-to-bed plans went out the window because "what the hell," you'd already failed.

    如果你完全违背了自己的新年计划,你可能本能地认输并放弃。研究人员称之为“去他的效应”。就比如,你计划每晚早睡,但忍不住在某个星期五熬夜多看一集《继承之战》,此后你的早睡计划泡汤了,因为“去他的”,反正你已经失败了。

    Happily, there is a way to dodge this fate. By setting tough goals (like a 10 pm bedtime every night) but giving yourself one or two get-out-of-jail-free cards each week, you can get better results than by setting either tough or easy goals without wiggle room, research has revealed.

    幸运的是,有一种方法可以避免这种宿命。研究表明,设定困难的目标(比如每晚10点入睡),但每周给自己一两张豁免卡,就可以比设定没有回旋余地的或难或易的目标获得更好的结果。

    5.Get a little help from your friends

    借助朋友的帮助

    Spending time around high achievers can boost your own performance. If your New Year's resolution is to run a marathon or write a book, you'd be wise to start hanging around friends who've made it to the finish line (literally or figuratively) and can show you how it's done. You'll pick up a bit just by spending time together because you'll be inclined to conform to their patterns of behavior.

    花时间和高成就者在一起可以提高你自己的表现。如果你的新年愿望是跑一场马拉松或写一本书,那么明智的做法是开始与那些已经实现这一目标、可以告诉你如何做到的朋友们在一起。仅仅是和他们相处,你就会有收获,因为你会倾向于模仿他们的行为模式。

    Strangely enough, there is evidence that coaching friends with shared goals can improve your success rate, too. When you're on the hook to give someone else tips on how to achieve, it boosts your self-confidence. It also forces you to be introspective about what works in ways you might not otherwise.

    奇怪的是,有证据表明,指导有共同目标的朋友也能提高你的成功率。当你想给别人一些如何实现目标的建议时,这会增强你的自信。这样也会迫使你反省自己的方法是否对路。

  • CPC leadership must be upheld

    Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, presided over the daylong meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and gave a speech.

    The top Party leadership heard a series of work reports from leading Party members' groups of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the State Council, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, as well as from the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee.


    The meeting's participants reaffirmed that the Party's leadership in all areas and all aspects, especially the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, must be upheld in order for the Party, with more than 95 million members, and for the country with a population of more than 1.4 billion, to be well managed, according to a statement released after the meeting.


    The underlying reason for the historic transformations and achievements that the Party and the State have secured since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012 is that the country unswervingly upholds the Party's leadership and the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, they said.


    The CPC Central Committee's hearing of the work reports each year has played an exemplary role in upholding the committee's authority and its centralized and unified leadership, and such a practice should be sustained, the statement said.


    The meeting's participants commended the work of the leading Party members' groups of the top legislature, State Council, top political advisory body, top court and top procuratorate, as well as the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, in the past year and acknowledged their contributions to making a good start in implementing the country's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25), as well as creating a sound environment for the celebration of the Party's centenary last year, the statement said.


    New and greater progress has been made in all aspects of their work, it added.


    The meeting's participants urged the State bodies to remain vigilant about the risks and challenges on the way ahead, enhance their governance capacity, shoulder their responsibilities and assume their duty with solid efforts.


    They also noted that this year marks a milestone toward the country's modernization in all aspects and achieving the second of the "Two Centenary Goals"-to turn China into a modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious by the time the People's Republic of China celebrates its centenary in 2049. They further noted that this year will witness the 20th National Congress of the CPC.

  • 从河南卫视到《风起洛阳》,洛阳大概是2021年最火的城市了

    For most Chinese tourists, the mere mention of Luoyang in Central China's Henan province immediately brings to mind the famous Longmen Grottoes. However, the historic city, which dates back more than 5,000 years, has recently gained widespread attention for another reason — its starring role in a popular online series.

    河南洛阳有着5000多年的历史。提起这座古城,人们首先想到的是著名景点龙门石窟。不过,最近因为一部网络热播剧,洛阳再次引起了人们的关注。



    ▲ 图源:豆瓣


    Starring actors Huang Xuan, Wang Yibo and actress Song Qian in the lead roles, Luoyang — a 39-episode historical mystery series currently running on the streaming site iQiyi — has racked up millions of clicks domestically, and is also drawing a wider viewership overseas in Thailand, South Korea and Singapore.

    历史悬疑剧《风起洛阳》由黄轩、王一博和宋茜领衔主演,共39集,目前正在爱奇艺视频上热播。该剧在国内获得了数百万的点击率,在泰国、韩国和新加坡等海外地区也吸引了诸多观众。


    Adapted from writer Ma Boyong's novel of the same title, the fictional story, set in ancient China, follows the mystery-solving exploits of an unlikely trio of "detectives" — a grassroots avenger struggling with his traumatic past; a rich, yet geeky, heir from a prestigious craftsman's family; and an ambitious female guard leader who's also a distant relative of the top ruler.

    《风起洛阳》改编自马伯庸的小说《洛阳》。这个故事以时值盛世的“神都”洛阳为背景,讲述了出身苦寒的高秉烛、官宦子弟百里弘毅和世家女子武思月三人因为各自的原因结成“神都小分队”,查明悬案的过程。



    ▲ 图源:豆瓣


    It starts with the murder of a whistleblower and his young daughter, which unleashes a chain of mysterious incidents. The trio are forced to join forces to hunt down criminals and stop a horrible conspiracy that will threaten the security of the entire country.

    该剧由告密者父女被杀引出一连串神秘事件。“神都小分队”三人误打误撞联合起来追捕罪犯,并携手阻止一个威胁到整个国家安全的惊天大阴谋。


    The tale's overall aesthetic, from the ancient city's bustling streets to the costumes, is mostly inspired by the cultural height of the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Luoyang is considered by some critics to follow a similar formula to that of the 2019 smash hit, The Longest Day in Chang'an, also adapted from a popular Tang Dynasty-inspired novel penned by Ma.

    从古城的繁华街道到人物的服化道,该剧整体的美学设计主要是受到盛唐时期文化的启发。一些评论认为,《风起洛阳》与2019年热播的《长安十二时辰》有异曲同工之处,后者也改编自马伯庸的原著小说。

    As a prolific author, Ma is known for his talent in interweaving a profound knowledge of history with suspense stories filled with plot twists. With around 20 movies and TV series adapted from his novels, Ma has become one of the most sought-after novelists in the entertainment industry.

    作为一个多产的作家,马伯庸擅长将其对中国历史的深刻见解穿插在跌宕起伏的悬疑故事当中(如《古董局中局》和《两京十五日》)。目前为止,约有20部电影和电视剧改编自他的小说,部分还在筹备和制作当中。马伯庸因此成为最受影视界欢迎的作家之一。


    Responding to curious fans about how he has maintained a stable output of quality work, Ma reveals that his solution to solving a shortage of inspiration is "to stop writing and get outside to play and have fun".

    粉丝们很好奇他如何保持稳定高产的作品输出,他透露说,灵感不足的时候,他就“停止写作,到外面去玩,去享受乐趣”。


    "I will go jogging, play video games, or merely wander the streets. Personally, I believe that inspiration is like a kitten. If you try to catch it, it flees. If you ignore it and do something else, it may return and rub against your leg," says Ma.

    “我会跑步、打游戏,或者就在街上闲逛。我个人认为,灵感就像一只小猫,如果你试图抓住它,它就会逃走;如果你忽视它,转头去做其他的事情,它就可能会回来,在你腿上蹭来蹭去。”马伯庸说。


    Speaking about his inspiration to create Luoyang, Ma says he has been interested in the historic city — which served as the capital for more than 10 ruling dynasties — for a long time.

    谈到他创作《洛阳》的灵感,马伯庸说很长一段时间以来,他对十三朝古都洛阳这座历史悠久的城市深感兴趣。

    "For all those who are yearning to dive into Chinese history, it's impossible to avoid researching this historic city. There was not a sudden moment that lured me to start writing, but a yearslong accumulation of love and passion for the city of Luoyang finally pushed me to put pen to paper," Ma says.

    “对于所有渴望潜心研究中国历史的人来说,洛阳这座历史名城是绕不过去的。我写《洛阳》这部小说并不是出于一时兴起,而是我对洛阳这座城市经年累月的热爱,促使我提笔写作。”马伯庸说。


    Despite describing himself as an enthusiastic eater of delicious foods, Ma says he's not a good cook. "I once jokingly told the scriptwriters that I might be unqualified to describe the cooking techniques precisely (due to lack of practice), so I hoped they could make an effort to show me the details of the delicacies," recalls Ma.

    马伯庸说自己是个吃货,但他表示自己并不擅长做菜。“我曾跟编剧开玩笑说,我可能没法准确描述烹饪技巧(因为缺乏实践),所以我希望他们能够更详实地把美食佳肴在画面中呈现出来。”马伯庸回忆说。


    Living up to his expectations, the series features mouthwatering culinary delights, from street snacks such as mutton soup, to aristocratic family feasts, including a long, exquisitely designed table with its own water-filled "canal" for moving floating dishes from one end to the other.

    《风起洛阳》没有辜负他的期望。从羊肉汤等街头小吃到贵族家宴,这部剧给观众展现了令人垂涎欲滴的美食。其中有一张设计精美的长桌,其上装有一条“运河”,可将漂浮在水上的菜肴从一端传送到另一端。

    Cooperating with Ma for many years, Xu Kang, founder of the production company Liu Bai Entertainment, recalls that the project was originally shaped in 2017. They believed a historic city like Luoyang would cater to a Chinese audience who have "a strong national pride "and love to watch stories set in a prosperous historical era.

    留白影视的创始人徐康与马伯庸合作多年。据他回忆,这个项目最初是在2017年成型的。他们认为,像洛阳这样的历史名城能吸引中国观众,因为它激发了民族自豪感。大家都喜欢看以历史上繁华盛世为背景的故事。


    "There are always many legends and anecdotes scattered throughout the historical chapters of an ancient city. Ma has a talent to discover the 'gaps' (referring to ambiguous or unwritten parts) in the history, so his tale — probably better to be defined as a 'possible history tale' — has lured us to explore Luoyang's past more deeply," says Xu, also one of the series' chief producers.

    徐康也是该剧的总制片人之一,他表示,“古城的历史总是充满着各种各样的奇闻逸事。马伯庸在发现历史‘空白’方面天赋异禀,所以他写的故事几乎可以被定义为‘过去有可能发生过的事’,这些故事牵动着我们更深入地去探究洛阳的过往。”


    Luoyang, the crew found during research into the city, has abundant water resources, with sections from the Huaihe, Yellow and Yangtze rivers flowing across the city, inspiring them to highlight this feature in the series.

    摄制组在对洛阳的研究中发现,洛阳水资源丰富,淮河、黄河和长江流经该地,因此在拍摄过程中也有着重突出洛阳的这一特点。


    Rivers can be seen in multiple settings, from the city's sprawling markets to a half-underground slum. In an effort to increase the visual appeal, the crew also designed a huge Buddha statue, comprising 2,400 crystal stones and able to rotate 360 degrees. They installed it as a pivotal artifact in a royal intelligence agency's headquarters.


    从城市里无序延伸的街市,到半地下的贫民窟,观众们可以在各种各样的场景里看到河流的踪影。为了更加吸引观众眼球,摄制组还设计了一尊巨型佛像,这尊佛像由2400块水晶石组成,能够360度旋转。在故事里,这尊佛像作为一个至关重要的文物,被安放在一个皇家情报机构的总部。


    Dai Ying, the other chief producer and senior vice-president of iQiyi, says the series is the first installment of iQiyi's "Chinese Historic Cities Universe", a franchise scheduled to create a series of stories in similar settings.

    爱奇艺另一位总制片人兼高级副总裁戴莹表示,《风起洛阳》是爱奇艺“华夏古城宇宙”系列IP第一部面世的电视剧,按计划会在类似背景下创作一系列故事。


    With such a franchise, Dai adds that they hope more viewers will enjoy the charm of China's traditional culture, raising their interest enough to learn more about the country's glorious history.

    戴莹还补充说,希望这部作品能够让更多观众感受到中国传统文化的魅力,提升他们对中国文化的兴趣,从而更多地了解中国的辉煌历史。


    "So far, the series has been well-received both domestically and overseas. We believe the chivalry reflected by the lead characters is also one of the main attractions of the show, conveying a core value cherished by Chinese people and, therefore, resonating with the audience," says Dai.

    “到目前为止,《风起洛阳》在海内外都大受欢迎。我们认为主演们展示出来的侠义精神也是这部剧的主要吸引力之一,传达了中国人所推崇的核心价值,因此引起了观众的共鸣。”戴莹说。
