一、五大核武国发布联合声明|Nations Say Nuclear War Unwinnable
Leaders of five nuclear-armed states reaffirmed on Monday none of their nuclear weapons are targeted at each other or any other state, emphasizing a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. In a joint statement issued by China, France, Russia, Britain and the United States-the first of its kind-the leaders said they consider the avoidance of war between nuclear states and the reduction of strategic risk as their utmost responsibility.
1月3日,中国、法国、俄罗斯、美国、英国五大核武器国家领导人共同发表《关于防止核战争与避免军备竞赛的联合声明》。联合声明称,“避免核武器国家间爆发战争和减少战略风险是我们的首要责任”,强调核战争打不赢也打不得,重申不将核武器瞄准彼此或其他任何国家。这是五国领导人首次就核武器问题发表声明。
"As nuclear use would have far-reaching consequences, we also affirm nuclear weapons-for as long as they continue to exist-should serve defensive purposes, deter aggression and prevent war," they said in the statement, adding further proliferation of such weapons must be prevented.
联合声明称:“鉴于核武器使用将造成影响深远的后果,我们也申明,只要核武器继续存在,就应该服务于防御目的、慑止侵略和防止战争。我们坚信必须防止核武器进一步扩散。”

President Xi Jinping has called for efforts to ensure the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics are "a full success", saying that China has made a solemn commitment to the international community to host great Games.
Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remark on Tuesday when inspecting the preparatory work for the Beijing Games, which will open on Feb 4.
Xi visited the National Speed Skating Oval, the Main Media Center, the athletes' village, the Games-time Operations Command Center and a winter sports training base in Beijing, learning about preparatory work as well as Chinese athletes' preparations for the Games. This was the fifth time he inspected preparations for the Games in the past five years.
During the inspection tour, Xi said that thanks to years of efforts, work on all fronts was mostly ready. "We are fully confident and able to present a brilliant, exceptional and excellent Olympic Games to the world."
He encouraged those involved in the preparatory work to firm up their confidence and boost their morale in the final phase of efforts to ensure streamlined, safe and splendid Games.
At the National Speed Skating Oval, the sleek long-track speed skating venue in Beijing, which is dubbed the "Ice Ribbon" due to the 22 light ribbons surrounding its exterior, Xi said its design and construction follow the concept of hosting "green, inclusive, open and corruption-free Olympics".
He called for increasing Chinese elements in operational management to make the venue an important window to showcase the charm of Chinese culture and to present the country's progress in ice and snow sports.
Xi praised the ice-making technology used at the venue, saying that it is low-carbon with zero emissions. Efforts should be made to promote technology transfers to enable it to be applied in broader fields and make contributions to advancing the country's green transformation in the socioeconomic sector, and carbon peak and neutrality, he added.
During his visit to the Main Media Center, which will be the media headquarters for registered print media and broadcasters worldwide, Xi said that epidemic prevention and control is a major test in hosting the Games.
Live audiences are restricted due to the pandemic, so media communications will become more important than at previous Olympic Games, he said, urging that the center is operated safely and smoothly while ensuring strict measures for disease prevention and control.
Xi also called on international and domestic media to tell the stories of athletes' competitions, China's preparations and hosting of the Games and Chinese people's hospitality so that they will present a full, multidimensional and panoramic view of the Beijing Games to the world.
While inspecting the Winter Olympic Village, which will provide more than 3,000 beds and business services to the athletes and officials traveling to the Olympics from around the world, Xi called for providing well-tailored services to the athletes, particularly by increasing the barrier-free facilities for those with disabilities, and building a "safe, pleasant and comfortable home" for them.
He also stressed the need to strictly follow closed-loop management in the village and to strengthen pandemic prevention and control measures.
In the village, Xi expressed his appreciation to volunteers and those providing services and support for the Games. He said that hosting the Games will boost the people's confidence in realizing national rejuvenation and help present the country's commitment to advancing the building of a community with a shared future for mankind as well as a bright, prosperous and open image of China.
At the Games-time Operations Command Center, Xi underlined the importance of strengthening unified command and coordination and called for efforts to improve contingency plans in responding to emergencies.
The final leg of Xi's inspection tour took him to an ice and snow sports training base with some high-tech training facilities such as a wind tunnel. While highlighting the role of technology in competitive sports, he encouraged the country's athletes to work hard for excellence at the Beijing Games.
"Only those who withstand the freezing cold can enjoy the fragrance of plum blossom," said Xi, quoting a poem to encourage the athletes to cherish the precious opportunity after years of preparations for sporting excellence.
The 2022 Winter Olympics will take place from Feb 4 to 20, followed by the Paralympic Winter Games from March 4 to 13.

世卫组织:人类将在2022年战胜新冠疫情|WHO: Coronavirus Pandemic Will be Defeated in 2022
The World Health Organization (WHO) chief says he is optimistic that the coronavirus pandemic will be defeated in 2022, provided countries work together to contain its spread.
世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞表示,只要各国联起手来抑制病毒蔓延,他对于人类在2022年战胜新冠疫情充满信心。
Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesu warned against "narrow nationalism and vaccine hoarding" in a new year statement.
谭德塞博士在新年寄语中称,要警惕“狭隘的民族主义和疫苗囤积”。
Global COVID cases now stand at 287m, while nearly 5.5m people have died.
目前全球新冠肺炎病例总数达到了2.87亿,近550万名患者已经丧生。
Across the world people are marking the new year but celebrations are muted, with many countries wanting to discourage crowds gathering.
在世界各地的人们静悄悄地庆祝新年之时,许多国家都致力于防止人群聚集。
Coronavirus remains part of daily life: a disease that has shut borders, split families and in some places made it unthinkable to leave the house without carrying a mask.
步入2022年,新冠病毒仍然是日常生活的一部分。疫情导致边境关闭、家人分离,在某些地方,不戴口罩甚至出不了门。
Despite all this, Dr Tedros sounded a positive note in his speech, noting that there are now many more tools to treat COVID-19.
尽管如此,谭德塞博士还是在寄语中表明了积极的态度,并指出如今应对和治疗新冠的手段比以前多很多。
But he warned that continuing inequity in vaccine distribution was increasing the risk of the virus evolving.
但是他警告称,疫苗分配中持续的不平等将增加病毒变异的风险。
"Narrow nationalism and vaccine hoarding by some countries have undermined equity and created the ideal conditions for the emergence of the Omicron variant, and the longer inequity continues, the higher the risks of the virus evolving in ways we can't prevent or predict," he said.
他说:“狭隘的民族主义和某些国家的疫苗囤积造成了不平等,给奥密克戎变异株的出现创造了理想条件。疫苗分配不平等持续时间越长,病毒以我们无法预防或预测的方式变异的风险就越高。”
"If we end inequity, we end the pandemic," he added.
他补充道:“如果我们终结不平等,我们就能终结这场疫情。”
Latest Situation of the Pandemic
全球疫情最新态势
South Africa, where Omicron was first reported, has lifted an overnight curfew after announcing the country is likely to have passed the peak of new infections.
最早发现奥密克戎毒株的南非宣布新一波疫情高峰已经过去,并取消了夜间戒严。
A German virologist, Christian Drosten, told ZDF television he expects a "relatively normal" winter, pointing to data suggesting that Omicron cases are not as severe.
德国病毒学家克里斯蒂安·德罗斯滕告诉德国电视二台称,他预期这个冬天会“相对正常”,并指出,数据表明感染奥密克戎毒株的病例症状没那么严重。
Several countries, including the UK, Italy and Greece, reported record cases.
英国、意大利、希腊等国确诊病例创新高。
Thousands more flights have been cancelled, nearly half of them in the US, as airlines struggle with crew sickness.
由于多家航空公司的机组人员感染新冠病毒,数千个航班被取消,其中近半数在美国。
Health officials in France have said Omicron is now the country's dominant variant. President Macron said the next few weeks would be difficult, but he was "optimistic for the year to come".
法国卫生官员称,奥密克戎已经成为该国的主流毒株。法国总统马克龙表示,接下来几周将会很艰难,但是他“对来年充满乐观”。
Israel has become one of the first countries in the world to approve a fourth COVID vaccination.
以色列已经成为全球率先批准第四针新冠疫苗的国家之一。
In his comments, Dr Tedros also alluded to low vaccination rates.
谭德塞博士在寄语中还提到了疫苗接种率低的问题。
While most of the population in Europe and the Americas have received at least one dose, a WHO target of full vaccination rates in 40% of every country by the end of 2021 has been missed across most of Africa.
尽管欧洲和美洲多数人口至少已接种一剂新冠疫苗,但是世卫组织在2021年底前实现各国至少40%的人口完成疫苗接种的目标在非洲大部分地区都没有达到。
Dr Tedros has previously criticized wealthier nations for "gobbling up" the global vaccine supply, fully vaccinating much of their populations while others wait for their first doses.
谭德塞博士先前曾批评富裕国家“攫取”全球疫苗供应,促使本国大多数人口完全接种疫苗,而其他一些国家的人口连第一针都还没有打。
The WHO has set a new goal for 2022: vaccinate 70% of people in all countries by July to end the pandemic.
世卫组织为2022年设立了新目标:在7月前完成各国70%人口的疫苗接种以终结新冠疫情。

President Xi Jinping ordered China's military on Tuesday to further strengthen its training and exercises this year in order to enhance its operational capabilities and combat preparedness.
Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, signed the commission's first order for 2022, which declared the start of the annual training sessions for the People's Liberation Army and the People's Armed Police Force.
Service members must closely observe and accurately understand the changing situations in national security and military rivalry, and must be focused on developments in science, technology, combat patterns and potential adversaries, according to the order.
The armed forces are required to integrate their training with frontline operations, strengthen joint operation exercises, improve troops' capabilities in using new technologies, and continue optimizing training methods. The goal is to ensure that the troops can always win wars, the order said.
All officers and soldiers should uphold the military's fighting spirit and conduct training in a vigorous, well-designed and safe manner to boost their command and combat capabilities, the order said. It asked service members to display high morale and outstanding training accomplishments to celebrate the upcoming 20th CPC National Congress, which is scheduled to be held in Beijing in the second half of this year.
This is the fifth consecutive year that Xi has issued a training order to the military as the year's first directive from the Central Military Commission.
The first such order was issued in January 2018, when Xi oversaw and addressed a massive training and commencement ceremony at a PLA Ground Force shooting range in northern China.
Xi has repeatedly stressed the importance of combat-readiness and joint operation training to the armed forces since he became commander in chief in late 2012.

2021全球十大富豪资产增长超4000亿美元,马斯克身价暴涨千亿美元|World's 10 Richest People Gained $400 Billion in Wealth in 2021
The world's 10 richest people added $402 billion to their collective net worth in 2021, making it a banner year for the ultra-wealthy.
2021年是超级富豪的得意之年,这一年全球十大富豪的总净资产增加了4020亿美元(约合人民币25623亿元)。
As the year came to an end, Tesla CEO Elon Musk was the biggest winner, adding $121 billion to his fortune, which is now the largest in the world at $277 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
随着2021年落下帷幕,特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克成为最大赢家,他的财富增加了1210亿美元(约合人民币7713亿元)。根据彭博亿万富翁指数,马斯克现在资产为2770亿美元(约合人民币17656亿元),成为全球首富。
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, who started the year in the top spot, sank to number two, adding a mere $4.54 billion to his net worth, which now stands at $195 billion.
亚马逊创始人杰夫·贝索斯在2021年年初是全球首富,现在降到了第二位,他的净资产只增加了45.4亿美元(约合人民币289亿元),现在达到1950亿美元(约合人民币12429亿元)。
After Musk, French billionaire Bernard Arnault, the founder of luxury goods company LVMH and currently the third richest man in the world, had the largest gains for the year, adding $61.3 billion to his fortune.
法国亿万富翁、奢侈品公司路易酩轩创始人伯纳德·阿尔诺2021年的财富涨幅仅次于马斯克,阿尔诺目前在全球富豪榜中排名第三,他的财富增加了613亿美元(约合人民币3907亿元)。
For Musk, it was an eventful year, marked by a hosting appearance on Saturday Night Live, a break-up with girlfriend Grimes, and his self-coronation as 'Technoking' of Tesla.
对马斯克来说,2021年是不平凡的一年。这一年他在《周六夜现场》节目中担任主持人,与女友格莱姆斯分手,并自封为特斯拉的“电音王”。
Musk made huge waves as he sold off many billions worth of his Tesla stock in a move purportedly dictated by a poll he posted on Twitter.
马斯克抛售了价值数十亿美元的特斯拉股票,引起轩然大波,他号称做出这一决定是根据自己发布在推特上的一项投票。
He has sold $16.4 billion worth of shares since early November when he said he would sell 10 percent of his Tesla stock if Twitter users agreed, which they did.
2021年11月初,马斯克声称如果推特用户支持,他将出售10%的特斯拉股票。在多数网友投赞成票后,他出售了价值164亿美元(约合人民币1045亿元)的股票。
The poll attracted more than 3.5 million votes, with nearly 58% voting in favor of the share sale.
这次投票吸引了逾350万人参加,近58%投票支持马斯克卖掉股票。
In reality, at least some of the stock sales were driven by mandatory taxes as he exercised stock options that will expire in August.
实际上,马斯克抛售股票至少有一部分原因是为了缴纳税款,因为他要行使将于2022年8月到期的股票期权。
His movecame as US Democrats had proposed a so-called "billionaires tax", which could have the richest taxed on "unrealized gains" even if they do not sell any of their stock.
此前,美国民主党提出了所谓的“亿万富翁所得税”,要求对富豪的“未实现收益”征税,即使他们没有卖掉任何股票,也要征税。
It was Musk's first sale of shares since 2016, when he last exercised stock options. At the time he also sold some of the shares to cover an income tax bill of close to $600 million.
这是马斯克自2016年(上一次行使股票期权之时)以来第一次出售股票。当时他为了缴纳近6亿美元的所得税款卖掉了一部分股票。
Elsewhere on the top-10 billionaires list, Microsoft founder Bill Gates added $7.13 billion to his fortune, the fourth largest in the world at $139 billion.
此外,在全球十大富豪榜中,微软创始人比尔·盖茨的财富增加了71.3亿美元(约合人民币454亿元),以1390亿美元(约合人民币8860亿元)的身价位居世界第四。
Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin added $47.4 billion and $45.1 billion to their net worths respectively.
谷歌联合创始人拉里·佩奇和谢尔盖·布林的净资产分别增加了474亿美元(约合人民币3021亿元)和451亿美元(约合人民币2875亿元)。

脸书首席执行官马克·扎克伯格2021年财富增加了243亿美元(约合人民币1549亿元),总资产达1280亿美元(约合人民币8159亿元)。
Facebook has changed its corporate name to Meta as part of a major rebrandin 2021.
2021年Facebook正式宣布将公司名更改为Meta。
The company said it would better "encompass" what it does, as it broadens its reach beyond social media into areas like virtual reality (VR).
该公司称,这个新名字能更好地“包容”旗下业务,不光是社交媒体,还有虚拟现实等即将拓展的新领域。
Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer gained $41.2 billion in 2021, and Warren Buffett added $21.4 billion.
微软前任首席执行官史蒂夫·鲍尔默在2021年财富增加412亿美元(约合人民币2626亿元),沃伦·巴菲特财富增加了214亿美元(约合人民币1364亿元)。

社评:山姆会员店自食恶果|Sam’s Club Self-Harming Move
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China, in a post published on Friday on its website, urged Walmart to show sincerity if it wishes to get a firm foothold in the Chinese market, its second-largest overseas market, accusing the US retail giant Walmart Inc and its Sam's Club of "stupidity and shortsightedness".
上周五,中央纪委国家监委网站发表文章,敦促沃尔玛,中国是沃尔玛的第二大海外市场,要想在中国市场上站稳脚跟,必须拿出足够的诚意和态度。文章指责美国零售巨头沃尔玛公司及其旗下的山姆会员店“愚蠢和短视”。
Walmart has maintained a studied silence in the face of the backlash by Chinese consumers against its Sam's Club after it removed Xinjiang-sourced products from its online and offline shelves last week.
上周,沃尔玛旗下的山姆会员店线上和线下渠道下架所有新疆产品。面对中国消费者对山姆会员店的强烈谴责,沃尔玛一直刻意保持沉默。
Walmart's move came after US President Joe Biden signed a ban on imports from the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region into law on Dec 23, which effectively means that US companies have been kidnapped by Washington's claims to be sanctioning "forced labor".
12月23日,美国总统拜登签署了一项禁止从新疆进口产品的法案,沃尔玛跟风响应。这实际上意味着美方政府声称的对所谓“强迫劳动”的制裁已经绑架了美国企业。
Highlighting thedilemma they find themselves in, Intel, which had earlier called for its suppliers not to source products or labor from Xinjiang, issued a statement the same day stressing the importance of the Chinese market and saying its rejection of Xinjiang-sourced products and services was purely out of the need to comply with US laws, rather than reflecting its own stance on the issue.
此前,英特尔曾致信供应商要求禁用新疆人工和产品,但英特尔在同一天发表了一份强调自己两难处境的声明。声明中强调了中国市场的重要性,并表示其禁用新疆人工和产品纯粹是出于遵守美国法律的需要,而不是反映在该问题上的个人立场。
After operating in China for about 25 years, Walmart should be familiar with the sensitivity of the Xinjiang issue.
沃尔玛进入中国已有大约25年时间,应该清楚新疆问题的敏感性。
Intel's I-am-not-the-party-to-blame statement, in which it apologized for "the trouble caused to our respected Chinese customers, partners and the public", has helped the information technology giant quickly douse the fire of public anger, while Walmart's protracted silence has fanned the ire of Chinese consumers.
英特尔“我不是责任方”的声明表达了其对“给我们尊敬的中国客户、合作伙伴和公众带来的困扰”的歉意,也帮助这家信息技术巨头迅速平息公愤,但沃尔玛的长期沉默则激起了中国消费者的愤怒。
It seems that unlike Intel, Walmart is willingly politicizing its business operations.
与英特尔不同,沃尔玛似乎愿意将其业务运营政治化。
Walmart's after-sales service staff have tried to claim that the absence of Xinjiang-sourced products is due to them being out of stock. But all other short-of-stock goods, apart from those from Xinjiang, bear a date indicating when they will be available on the company's e-commerce platform.
沃尔玛的售后服务人员声称下架新疆产品是因为缺货。但是,除了来自新疆的缺货产品外,所有其他缺货的产品都有一个重新到货日期,表明它们何时又能在该公司的电商平台上架。
China is a huge market for Walmart, which brings in a reported $11.43 billion in sales from 423 retail outlets, including 36 Sam's Club stores.
对沃尔玛来说,中国是一个巨大的市场。据报道,沃尔玛从中国423家零售店(包括36家山姆会员店)中获得的销售额高达114.3亿美元。
In its statement the CCDI said that Western companies such as Walmart that are collaborating with anti-China forces to destabilize Xinjiang by suppressing and boycotting products from the region, after having boasted that they are free from political interference, "have slapped themselves in the face with their own actions".
中央纪委在声明中表示,沃尔玛等西方企业在标榜自己不受政治干预后,又打压和抵制新疆产品,与反华势力相勾结,破坏新疆稳定,“用自己的行动打了自己的脸”。
That is a typical example of what the Chinese call "smashing the cooking pot from which one scoops rice".
这就是中国人所说的“吃中国的饭还砸中国的碗”的典型例子。

Dune
《沙丘》
Now at last we have a big-screen Dune that may actually do justice to Frank Herbert's science-fiction novel. Directed by Denis Villeneuve, this is a somber, sweeping epic which runs for 155 minutes and still only covers the first half of the book. The budget is colossal, the crew is top-notch, and the cast is packed with big names, including Timothée Chalamet, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Zendaya and Dave Bautista. As space operas about psychic-powered young heroes on desert planets go, it may never be as popular as Star Wars, but, says Clarisse Loughrey in the Independent, "It is a film of such literal and emotional largeness that it overwhelms the senses of such intimidating grandeur that it's hard to believe it even exists in the first place."
我们终于迎来了一部可以对得起弗兰克·赫伯特科幻小说原著的电影版《沙丘》。丹尼斯·维伦纽瓦导演的这部阴郁磅礴的史诗大片长达155分钟,但也只讲完了原著的上半部分。这部电影耗资巨大,演员阵容也十分强大,包括蒂莫西·柴勒梅德、奥斯卡·伊萨克、乔什·布洛林、赞达亚和戴夫·巴蒂斯塔等众多大牌明星。这部星际科幻电影讲述了关于荒漠星球上具有超自然力量的少男少女的故事,它也许永远不会像《星球大战》系列一样受欢迎,但是,正如克拉丽斯·洛瑞在《独立报》上的评论:“这是一部篇幅和情感都广博到令人震撼的宏伟电影,它的存在本身就让人难以置信。”
The French Dispatch
《法兰西特派》
Wes Anderson fans rejoice: the writer-director's 10th film is his most Wes Anderson-ish ever. In The French Dispatch, he takes his meticulous style to new extremes, so barely a frame goes by that isn't ornamented with a split screen, a freeze frame, a sans serif caption, a florid voiceover, or a switch between monochrome and garish color. Beneath all these elaborate quirks is an anthology of three whimsical short stories set in the fictional French town and supposedly drawn from the pages of a New Yorker-style magazine in the mid-20th Century.
韦斯·安德森的粉丝欢呼吧,这位编剧兼导演的第十部电影是他迄今为止将个人风格发扬得最淋漓尽致的作品。在《法兰西特派》中,安德森将他细致入微的风格发挥到了新极致。几乎没有一帧画面是未经过雕琢的,不是运用分屏、定格、无衬线字体、词藻华丽的画外音,就是在黑白和艳丽色彩之间切换。在所有这些精巧的手法之下,这部电影讲述的是在一座虚构法国小镇中发生的三个怪诞小故事,据称这些故事选自上世纪中叶一本《纽约客》风格的杂志。

《天赐灵机》
The first feature-length cartoon from a new British studio, Locksmith Animation, Ron's Gone Wrong is a family comedy about the differences between social media and physical interaction. Its schoolboy hero, Barney, is given what seems to be the ideal toy, a shiny robot which is programmed to be his friend – assuming it works properly. The snag is that this particular robot, Ron, barely works at all. "Children want someone who agrees with them, who wants to play the same games as them… and that's the type of dream the technology world offers you," the film's co-writer and co-director, Sarah Smith, said. "And in our movie, Barney ends up with Ron, who's completely dysfunctional and broken, who doesn't agree with him and doesn't know anything about him, and they have to build this relationship from that point."
《天赐灵机》是英国新动画工作室Locksmith出品的第一部动画长片,这部家庭喜剧片讲述了社交媒体和实体互动之间的差异。男主人公是一位名叫巴尼的男学生,他得到了一个貌似很理想的玩具——一个亮闪闪的机器人,程序设定为他的朋友,当然前提是这个机器人要正常运转。问题在于这个名叫罗恩的机器人根本不能正常运转。该片的编剧和导演之一莎拉·史密斯说:“孩子们想要的是能认同他们、和他们玩同样游戏的玩伴,而这是科技世界可以帮助实现的梦想。然而在我们这部电影中,巴尼得到的却是功能完全失调的、坏掉的机器人罗恩。罗恩既不同意巴尼的观点,对巴尼也一无所知,他们的关系必须从头开始建立。”
Minari
《米纳里》
Lee Isaac Chung's autobiographical drama has had glowing reviews, but it has also been the source of controversy. Most of the dialogue is in Korean, so the organizers of the Golden Globes put it in the Foreign Language Film category. But Minari is also the tale of a US family working on a small farm in Arkansas in the 1980s, so some commentators have argued that calling its language "foreign" is outdated and insulting. Glenn Whipp in the Los Angeles Times says that the film "feels like a balm right now, a gentle, truthful and tender story of family filled with kind people trying to love one another the best they can. "
李·以萨克·郑的这部自传式电影收获了热烈的好评,但也引来了不少争议。该片的大多数对话都是韩语,所以金球奖主办方将其归为外语片类别。但是《米纳里》也是一部关于上世纪80年代在阿肯色州一家小农场劳作的美国家庭的故事,因此一些评论人士表示,将其称为“外语片”不仅过时而且具有侮辱性。《洛杉矶时报》的格伦·威普称,这部电影“在当下能给心灵带来抚慰,这个温和、真实而柔情的故事讲述的这个家庭里都是全心全意爱彼此的善良的人。”
The Courier
《信使》
Benedict Cumberbatch has been tipped as a potential James Bond, but in The Courier, he plays one of Bond's less glamorous real-life counterparts. In 1960, just before Sean Connery signed up to be 007, a salesman named Greville Wynne was recruited by MI6 and the CIA to carry Soviet secrets back from Moscow. In the film, his wife wants him to abandon this increasingly dangerous mission, but Wynne believes that only his espionage can defuse the Cuban Missile Crisis. Directed by Dominic Cooke, The Courier has a "fascinating" story, says Benjamin Lee at the Guardian, but it is Cumberbatch's performance that sells it.
据传本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇是下一任邦德候选人之一,但在《信使》中,他饰演一个不那么迷人的间谍原型。1960年,就在肖恩·康纳利签约007系列电影之前,一位名叫格雷维尔·韦恩的销售员受雇于军情六处和中央情报局从莫斯科带回苏联机密。在影片中,他的妻子想让他放弃这个日益危险的使命,但是韦恩相信只有他的间谍行动才能化解古巴导弹危机。《卫报》的本杰明·李写道,多米尼克·库克导演的《信使》讲述了一个“引人入胜的”故事,但是让电影有看点的是康伯巴奇的表演。

低碳环保绿色冬奥|Olympic Venues Deliver on Environmental Protection
Environmental protection has been made a priority for venues in the Zhangjiakou competition zone at the upcoming 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
在2022北京冬奥会即将到来之际,张家口赛区场馆将环保放在首位。
The location of the National Ski Jumping Center was carefully selected to avoid the use of underground water for snowmaking, said Wang Jingxian, venue and infrastructure manager of the center in the Games co-host city of Zhangjiakou, Hebei province.
奥运会协办城市河北省张家口国家跳台滑雪中心场馆和基础设施经理王敬先表示,该中心的位置经过精心挑选,以避免使用地下水来造雪。
"Before constructing the venue halfway up the mountains in the Guyangshu area, we calculated the volume of surface water that can be collected from the mountains in summer, through means such as rainfall and natural springs. Scientific research data has shown that such water is enough for snowmaking and supporting the operations of the venues," Wang said.
王敬先表示:“在古杨树地区的半山腰修建场馆之前,我们通过测算降雨量和天然泉水量等方式计算出了夏季可从山区收集的地表水量。科学研究数据表明,这些水足以支持造雪和场馆运营。”
A reservoir with a capacity of 200,000 cubic meters was built to collect water for the venues in Guyangshu, including the National Ski Jumping Center and the nearby National Cross-Country Skiing Center.
他们修建了一座20万吨的蓄水池,为包括国家跳台滑雪中心和附近的国家越野滑雪中心在内的古杨树场馆群收集用水。
Li Zhenlong, venue and infrastructure manager of the skiing center, said the venue also has five smaller water storage facilities eradicating the need to use underground water and harm the environment during snowmaking.
国家越野滑雪中心场馆和基础设施经理李振龙表示,该场地还有五个较小的储水设施,在造雪过程中不需要使用地下水,也不会破坏环境。
"Also, we have planted many trees while constructing the courses. Furthermore, the venue is 100 percent powered by wind and solar energy. We have made great efforts to achieve sustainable development," Li said.
李振龙表示:“此外,我们在修建场馆的同时种植了许多树木,且场馆100%由风能和太阳能供电,尽最大努力实现可持续发展。”
To minimize carbon dioxide emissions, about 700 hydrogen-powered vehicles will be used in the Zhangjiakou competition zone, said Wang Hewu, executive director of the Zhangjiakou Hydrogen and Renewable Energy Research Institute.
张家口氢能和可再生能源研究院执行主任王贺武表示,为了最大限度地减少二氧化碳排放,张家口赛区将使用约700辆氢燃料大巴车。
The vehicles will be used for transportation and logistics operations during the Games, which will run from Feb 4 to 20.
这些车辆将于2月4日至20日冬奥会举行期间提供交通与后勤服务。
"The emission of hydrogen-powered vehicles is just pure water so it won't cause any pollution. Furthermore, the hydrogen fueling the vehicles is produced with wind power so the whole process is green," Wang said.
王贺武表示:“氢燃料大巴车只排放纯水,不会产生任何污染。此外,大巴车的氢燃料由风力发电产生,实现全流程绿色。”
A hydrogen-powered bus can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 11.8 metric tons over 10,000 kilometers. Such buses can run smoothly at -20 C, and their safety and reliability have been tested, Wang said.
一辆氢燃料大巴车可以在10000公里内减少11.8公吨的二氧化碳排放量。王贺武表示,这样的客车能够在零下20摄氏度的温度下平稳运行,且它们的安全性和可靠性都已经过测试。
Currently, there are more than 444 hydrogen-powered buses in operation in Zhangjiakou, covering nine bus routes in the city. They have run about 20 million km and carried more than 62 million passengers, according to the local government.
目前,张家口市共有444辆氢燃料公交车投入运营,覆盖全市9条公交线路。据当地政府称,它们累计运行里程超2000万公里,完成载客量超6200万人次。
Zhangjiakou has two hydrogen production plants and eight hydrogen refueling stations, which help guarantee the operation of the hydrogen-powered vehicles, Wang said.
王贺武表示,张家口已建成两个制氢厂和八座加氢站,为氢燃料大巴车运行保驾护航。

By introducing video games to social media platforms, 31-year-old Zhang Jun, better known as Xiaoyao Sanren online, enjoys expressing himself and spreading Chinese culture.
张骏今年31岁,以网名“逍遥散人”为人熟知,是B站知名游戏区UP主。他喜欢通过在社交平台分享游戏表达自我,通过电子游戏讲解视频传播中国文化。

Now a popular content creator on Bilibili boasting 5.4 million followers, Zhang uploaded his first commentary video of the computer game, I Wanna Be the Magnanimity, in 2011 while studying in the United States. Later, he spent more than four months completing the game and released 18 related videos, which collectively received more than 180,000 clicks. He soon became popular on the platform.
作为B站上一名广受欢迎的内容创作者,张骏粉丝量已达540万。2011年,在美国学习期间,他上传了自己第一个有关电脑游戏《I Wanna Be the Magnanimity》的解说视频。之后,他花了4个多月的时间通关了这款以难度劝退玩家入坑的游戏,并发布了18个解说视频,总点击量超过18万次。他很快就在B站上走红了。
"When studying overseas, I felt the cultural differences of the East and the West, which made me more interested in the news and situation in China," Zhang says, adding that he believes many aspects of our life and society in the country have been "greatly improved", while some are even "better than abroad".
“在国外留学的时候,我感受到了东西方文化的差异,这让我对国内的新闻和现状更加感兴趣,”张骏说,他还认为我们国家生活和社会的许多方面已经有了“显著改善”,有些甚至比“国外还要好”。
He came back to China after graduation and became a full-time content creator on Bilibili specializing in video games. His overseas experiences made him more aware of introducing Chinese culture to foreign friends through gaming.
毕业后,他回到中国,成为了B站视频游戏的全职内容创作者。因为有在海外生活学习的经历,他更加明白用游戏向外国朋友介绍中国文化的重要性。
The first time he realized that gaming can convey culture was when he found a video he made about a Japanese game, which he dubbed into Chinese, being circulated among many foreigners online.
他曾用中文解说一款日本游戏,并在国外社交网络爆火。这次经历使他第一次意识到,游戏是传播文化的绝佳途径。
"Most of our games are dubbed into English or Japanese, including some mobile games, but several years ago, I dubbed a Japanese video game named Ace Attorney and played every character's dialogue in Chinese," he recalls, adding that the video later spread to many countries and received great attention.
他回忆道:“大多数游戏都有英语或日语配音,包括一些手游。但在几年前,我给一款日本游戏《Ace Attorney》配了中文解说,一人分饰了每个角色的‘声优’。”这个视频受到了来自世界各国网友的关注。
"When foreign viewers saw it, they found that my dubbing made the original game more emotional and interesting, although they understand little Chinese.
“当外国观众看到这个游戏时,他们感觉我的配音让游戏变得更有感染力、更有趣,尽管他们不懂中文。”
"This video made me realize that we have a lot of great content, but we haven't taken it abroad, so people can't see how good it is," he adds.
“这个视频让我意识到,我们自己也有很多很棒的内容,但它们还没有被传播到国外,所以人们看不到它们有多好,”他补充道。
The development of some domestic games has reached a high level, Zhang says, adding that at least two or three games in the top 10 mobile game app rankings in Japan are from China now.
张骏表示,一些国内游戏的开发已经达到了很高的水平,目前在日本手游应用排行榜前10名中,至少有两到三款游戏来自中国。
He cites another example, Chinese Parents, an education simulation game developed by a Chinese game producer, which, although a niche indie game, has become widely known by many foreigners thanks to the publicity and promotion efforts of various content producers.
他还举了另一个例子——《中国式家长》,这是一款由中国游戏制作人开发的教育模拟游戏,虽然是一款小众独立游戏,但由于各种内容制作人的宣传和推广,它已经被许多外国友人所熟知。
"Through this game, international players learned that the way Chinese parents educate their children is different from that in the US," Zhang says, adding that "a US version of the game, Growing Up, was later released", produced by Polish game producer Vile Monarch in October.
张骏说:“通过这款游戏,国际玩家会明白中国父母教育孩子的方式与美国不同。”他还补充说:“后来这款游戏又推出了美国版,《美国式家长》。” 美国版的是波兰游戏制作人Vile Monarch在10月发行的。
Many foreigners may not understand the myths of China, "but they deem the Chinese game as fun and want to try it", Zhang says, speaking of a domestically produced game, Black Myth: Wukong, the trailer of which went viral, creating demand for the title abroad even before its official launch at home. Similarly, many other domestic indie games are mining folk customs or crafts, such as paper-cutting, to appeal to gamers.
谈到国产游戏《黑神话:悟空》时,张骏说:“许多外国人可能不理解中国的神话传说,但他们觉得中国游戏很有趣并想尝试。”此前,这款游戏的预告片在网络走红,在国内正式发布之前,国外对于这款游戏的讨论已经十分热烈。同样地,许多国产游戏也在挖掘民间习俗或手工艺,如剪纸,以吸引玩家。
According to another short-video creator Zhu Minghua, known as Zimin, who has worked in the sector for a decade and boasts over 3.24 million followers on Bilibili and a further 293,000 on YouTube, young people across the globe, who are enjoying a good material life, like to click and forward videos that can bring them closer, however distant they may be physically.
游戏解说主播朱明华,网名“籽岷”,已经在该行业工作十年,B站粉丝数累计超过324万,优兔粉丝超过29万。他认为,当今世界年轻人是在较为优渥的物质条件中成长起来的,他们都喜欢点击和分享视频,因为这能拉进彼此间的距离,无论在现实中相隔有多远。
Chinese young people have become more confident in telling their stories, "because there are so many we can talk about", he adds.
朱明华说,中国年轻人越来越有信心讲好自己的故事,因为“我们能讲的好内容太多了”。
