中国首次发布出口管制的白皮书|China Issues 1st White Paper on Export Controls

China has released its first white paper on export controls to give a full picture of the country's position, system and practices in improving export control governance.

中国首次发布出口管制的白皮书，旨在全面介绍中国完善出口管制治理的立场、制度和实践。

The 9,000-word document, China's Export Controls, was issued on Wednesday by the State Council Information Office.

国务院新闻办公室周三发布了全文9千余字的《中国的出口管制》白皮书。

A statement from the Ministry of Commerce said that the white paper highlighted China's commitment and actions to safeguard world peace and development as well as national security and international security.

据商务部声明，白皮书阐述了中国维护世界和平与发展，维护国家安全和国际安全的主张和行动。

The ministry said China will continue to promote law-based export controls in the future, stepping up efforts to improve supporting regulations for the Export Control Law and accelerating the formulation of a unified export control list.

商务部表示，中国将继续推进出口管制法治化建设，抓紧完善《出口管制法》配套法规，加快制定统一的出口管制清单

More efforts will be made to carry out multilateral and bilateral exchanges and cooperation on export controls, widely publicize and implement related laws and policies, rigorously protect the legitimate rights and interests of all market players and create the conditions for fostering a business environment based on market principles, governed by law and meeting international standards.

中国将积极开展出口管制多双边交流合作，广泛做好法律政策的宣贯，严格保护市场各方主体的合法权益，为营造市场化、法治化、国际化营商环境创造良好条件。

In the next step, China will also work actively to build a coordinated export control compliance system guided by the government and led by business, the ministry added.

商务部补充表示，下一步，中国将积极构建“政府引导、企业为主”的出口管制合规体系。

Export control is a common international practice in which a country prohibits or restricts the export of specific items, such as nuclear materials, to fulfill its international obligations, such as nonproliferation, while safeguarding its own national security and interests.

出口管制是国际通行做法，指一国对核材料以及其他与维护国家安全和利益、履行防扩散等国际义务相关的特定物项出口，采取禁止或者限制性措施。

The ministry said that international export control efforts now face a number of challenges, mainly related to the abuse of export control measures and unreasonable discriminatory restrictions, attempts by countries to form small cliques and work against true multilateralism.

商务部表示，国际出口管制目前面临着一些挑战，主要涉及滥用出口管制措施和无理实施歧视性限制措施的行为，以及某些国家拼凑出口管制小圈子、违背真正的多边主义的迹象。

The white paper also highlighted the need to strengthen international coordination on export controls.

白皮书还强调需要加强出口管制国际协调。

"China holds that all countries should firmly stand by the international system with the United Nations as the core and the international order based on international law, safeguard the authority of international treaties and mechanisms that uphold true multilateralism, refresh their security perspectives, and adopt a common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable outlook on global security," the ministry said in the statement.

商务部在声明中表示：“中国主张，各国应当坚定维护以联合国为核心的国际体系和以国际法为基础的国际秩序，切实维护符合真正多边主义的国际条约和机制的权威，创新安全理念，树立共同、综合、合作、可持续的全球安全观。”

In particular, the ministry said major countries should fulfill their obligations and promote common international security in the field of export controls.

商务部指出，特别是大国应当履行大国义务，在出口管制领域推进国际共同安全。

Major countries should not harm the legitimate rights and interests of other nations in the peaceful use of export-controlled items or prevent the peaceful use of scientific and technological achievements and advances to promote development, normal international science and technology exchanges and economic and trade cooperation, and the safe and smooth operation of global industrial and supply chains, said the ministry.

商务部表示，大国不应当损害其他国家和平利用出口管制物项的正当权益，不应当对和平利用科技进步成果促进发展、正常国际科技交流与经贸合作、全球产业链供应链安全顺畅运转设置障碍。

"China believes that in export control, the international community should move forward in a fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory direction, uphold solidarity and cooperation, oppose discriminatory approaches, join hands in tackling global issues and create a brighter future for humanity," the ministry said.

商务部表示：“中国认为，国际出口管制应朝着公正、合理、非歧视的方向发展，坚持走团结合作之路，抵制歧视性做法，携手应对各种全球性问题，共同创造人类更加美好的未来。”

In October 2020, China promulgated the Export Control Law with detailed stipulations on export-control lists and measures.

2020年10月，中国颁布了《出口管制法》，对出口管制清单和措施作了详细规定。

Since the 1990s, China has formulated six regulations on export control, covering areas including biological, chemical, missiles and other military items to fulfill certain international obligations.

自20世纪90年代起，中国制定了六项出口管制条例，在生物、化学、导弹、军品等领域严格履行有关国际义务。

一、重庆姐弟坠亡案宣判：生父和女友被判死刑| Murdering Two Young Children, Chongqing Father Surnamed Zhangand His Girlfriend were Sentenced to Death

A Chongqing father surnamed Zhang and his girlfriend were sentenced to death by the Chongqing No 5 Intermediate People's Court on Tuesday for murdering his two young children by throwing them out of a high-rise apartment window.

2021年12月28日，重庆张某及其女友因将张某两名亲生未成年子女扔出高层公寓窗户，构成故意杀人罪，被重庆市第五中级人民法院判处死刑。

According to prosecutors, Zhang filed for divorce from his now former wife Chen in April 2019 to pursue an online friend, surnamed Ye.

据公诉机关称，为追求网友叶某，张某于2019年4月与其前妻陈某提出离婚。

Ye kept telling Zhang that she could not accept the fact that Zhang had children. Subsequently, the pair conspired to kill both children by staging an "accidental fall" so they could then start a new family of their own, prosecutors said.

叶某多次向张某表示，她不能接受张某有小孩。公诉机关表示，随后两人合谋采用制造“意外高坠”的方式杀害两名儿童，以便他们可以组建自己的新家庭。

In June last year, Ye repeatedly urged Zhang through WeChat to commit the crime. Zhang’s son was under his care and already resided with him in his apartment. On Nov 1, Zhang asked his ex-wife Chen to bring their daughter to his apartment to stay overnight. At about 3:30 pm the next day, with no other adult present, Zhang threw both children out the window. The 2-year-old girl died at the scene and the 1-year-old boy died at the hospital.

去年6月，叶某多次通过微信催促张某作案。张某的儿子由张某抚养，已与张某一起住在其公寓里。11月1日，张某让前妻陈某带着女儿到他的公寓过夜。次日15时30分许，在没有其他成年人在场的情况下，张某将两个孩子都扔出了窗外。2岁女孩当场死亡，1岁男孩经送医院抢救无效死亡。

Prosecutors said the defendants, Zhang and Ye, had jointly committed intentional homicide and that their actions constituted a crime subject to criminal responsibility under the law.

公诉机关认为，被告人张某、叶某共同故意杀人，致二人死亡，依法应当以故意杀人罪追究其刑事责任。

二、反有组织犯罪法表决通过|China Adopts Anti-Organized Crime Law

Chinese lawmakers on Friday voted to adopt an anti-organized crime law in order to strengthen the work of combating and rooting out organized crime in line with the rule of law. The law, to take effect on May 1, 2022, was approved at a session of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.

为保障在法治轨道上常态化开展扫黑除恶工作，12月24日，十三届全国人大常委会第三十二次会议表决通过《中华人民共和国反有组织犯罪法》。该法自2022年5月1日起施行。

The law includes provisions on the criteria for identifying various types of "soft violence", such as organized disturbing, pestering and assembling a crowd to cause an uproar for illegal profits or illegal impacts, as well as the responsibilities of regulators in various industries.

反有组织犯罪法规定了“软暴力”手段的认定，明确为谋取非法利益或者形成非法影响，有组织地进行滋扰、纠缠、哄闹、聚众造势等，可以认定为有组织犯罪的犯罪手段。该法还对行业监管职责作出明确规定。

An improved long-term mechanism to prevent and control organized crime within industries will be established, according to the law, which also calls for strengthened oversight and management of industries and fields where organized crime is liable to occur.

据反有组织犯罪法，将建立健全行业有组织犯罪预防和治理长效机制，对有组织犯罪易发的行业领域加强监督管理。

To better prevent organized crimes against minors, the law also stipulates that organized crime activities involving minors will face heavier criminal penalties.

为防止黑恶势力侵害未成年人，反有组织犯罪法规定，实施有组织犯罪侵害未成年人权益将依法从重追究刑事责任。

三、羽生结弦获北京冬奥会门票|Japan's Hanyu Qualifiesfor Beijing 2022

Japan's superstar skater Yuzuru Hanyu will fight for his third successive Olympic crown after winning his sixth national title and qualifying for the Beijing Olympic Winter Games on Sunday. The 27-year-old, competing in his first event in more than eight months, performed a long-awaited quadruple axel but landed with two feet.

12月26日，日本花滑名将、27岁的羽生结弦第6次获得全日锦标赛冠军，同时也拿到了北京冬奥会参赛资格，将向冬奥会3连冠发起冲击。此次全日锦标赛是羽生结弦8个多月来的首次亮相，他挑战了备受期待的4A跳（阿克塞尔四周半跳），但最后双脚落冰。

"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief," he said of the quadruple axel, adding that landing with two feet is a result he can "accept at the moment". "I will continue the practice," he said.

赛后羽生结弦表示：“说实在的，松了一口气。正式比赛时双脚落冰，我觉得现在可以接受。我会继续努力练习的。”

Asked if he would perform the quad axel again in Beijing, he simply said, "I will try my best."

关于是否会在北京冬奥会上挑战四周半跳，羽生表示会尽自己全力。

教育部：全力促进更加充分更高质量就业｜Higher-quality Employment Emphasized

The Ministry of Education said on Tuesday it will make the utmost efforts to ensure college graduates find fuller and higher-quality employment amid a record number of students graduating from university next year.

12月28日，教育部表示将全力促进2022届高校毕业生更加充分更高质量就业。

China is expected to have 10.76 million new college graduates next year, up by 1.67 million from this year, with the total number of graduates and the growth volume both setting records, said Wang Hui, director of the ministry's department of college student affairs.

教育部高校学生司司长王辉表示，2022届高校毕业生规模预计1076万人，同比增加167万人，规模和增量均创历史新高。

The country's economy is resilient and the economic fundamentals remain strong in the long term, which has laid a solid foundation for ensuring stable employment for college graduates, Wang said at a news conference.

王辉表示，“我国经济韧性强，长期向好的基本形势不会改变，稳就业工作的基础是坚实的。”

However, the employment situation remains complex as the country's economic development still faces international and domestic challenges.

“综合研判，当前高校毕业生就业形势依然严峻复杂。”

Some graduates find it difficult to find jobs while some companies also have trouble hiring new employees, Wang said, adding that employment demand and supply varies greatly among students according to majors, industries and regions.

王辉指出，目前“就业难”与“招人难”并存，毕业生来自不同专业、行业和地区，就业市场供需关系还存在不确定性。

The ministry will work with other government departments to ensure local authorities and universities effectively implement various employment promotion policies, Wang said.

王辉表示，教育部将会同相关部门，推动各地各高校全面落实就业工作责任，确保各项促就业政策措施落地落实。

The employment situation of the 9.09 million college graduates this year remained stable thanks to the concerted efforts of central and local governments, universities and enterprises, he said.

据介绍， 2021届高校毕业生规模909万人，在中央和地方政府、高校和企业的共同努力下，就业局势总体稳定。

Great support has been given to encourage graduates to work at grassroots levels and enlist in the military, while the hiring process for government institutions and State-owned enterprises has been moved forward a month, Wang said.

政府大力支持毕业生到基层工作或参军，事业单位和国有企业的招聘流程均提前一个月。

Local governments and universities have made specific plans to help graduates from low-income families find jobs, and as a result, they have had a higher employment rate than other students, he added.

王辉还表示，地方政府和高校落实工作部署，帮助来自低收入家庭的毕业生求职，所以这些毕业生的就业率往往高于其他学生。

Qiu Kenan, an official at the Guangdong provincial Department of Education, said SOEs in the province had hired 34,600 college graduates by the end of November and all private companies in the province had been encouraged to hire at least one college graduate.

广东省教育厅二级巡视员邱克楠表示，截至11月底，广东国有企业已招聘高校毕业生3.46万人，鼓励全省所有私营企业至少招聘一名高校毕业生。

The province has also provided almost 600 million yuan ($94.2 million) in subsidies this year to more than 170,000 college graduates choosing to work at the grassroots level, and more than 150 million yuan in subsidies to more than 50,000 graduates from families with financial difficulties, he said.

他说，今年内全省累计发放基层就业补贴近6亿元（9420万美元），惠及毕业生超17万名；发放求职创业补贴1.5亿多元，惠及困难毕业生超5万名。

Yang Yixing, deputy director of the human resources department of China Electronics Corp, said the company hired 4,850 college graduates this year, up by almost 50 percent from last year.

中国电子信息产业集团有限公司人力资源部副主任杨怡星表示，公司招聘高校毕业生总计4850人，同比增长近50%。

The company has hired more than 400 graduates from rural areas in Guizhou, Hainan, Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces, and it will continue to hire more graduates from rural areas and families with financial difficulties, he said.

他表示，公司已从贵州、海南、陕西和四川等省份的农村地区招聘了400多名毕业生，还会继续从农村地区和经济困难家庭招聘更多毕业生。

As the internet and communication industry is developing rapidly, the company will try to provide more and higher-quality job posts to new graduates, Yang said.

杨怡星表示，当下互联网和通信行业快速发展，公司会努力为新毕业生提供更多更高质量的工作岗位。

It has signed cooperation agreements with 26 universities and incorporated the company's professional skills into the training of the students so they can better meet the needs of the industry, he added.

他补充说，公司已与26所大学签署了合作协议，并将公司所需职业技能纳入学生培训中，使学生们能更好地满足行业需求。

一、TikTok超越谷歌，成2021全球访问量最大互联网站点|TikTokOusts Google toBecomeFavourite Online Destination

Move over Google, TikTok is the world's new most popular online destination.

谷歌让一让，TikTok才是新一代全球最具人气的互联网站点。

The viral video app gets more hits than the American search engine, according to Cloudflare, an IT security company.

据信息技术安全公司Cloudflare称，这款火爆短视频软件的访问量高于美国搜索引擎谷歌。

The rankings show that TikTok knocked Google off the top spot in February, March and June this year, and has held the number one position since August.

排名显示，TikTok在今年2月、3月和6月超过谷歌登上榜首，并自8月以来一直保持第一的位置。

It is believed one of the reasons for the surge in TikTok's popularity is because of the Covid pandemic, as lockdowns meant people were stuck at home and looking for entertainment.

普遍认为，新冠疫情是TikTok人气激增的原因之一，因为疫情期间的封锁意味着人们被困在家里，需要找点乐子。

The social network, which is owned by a Chinese company called Bytedance, now has more than one billion active users across the world, and that number continues to grow.

TikTok是字节跳动公司旗下的一款社交软件，目前在全球拥有超过10亿活跃用户，而且这个数字还在继续增长。

Food and recipe videos have become a key part of TikTok's success, with viral clips getting millions of views.

美食和食谱视频是TikTok成功的重要因素，那些传播性极强的视频片段获得数百万的浏览量。

二、外籍男子辱骂防疫人员，本人和家属已道歉| A Foreign Man Abused Anti-Epidemic Workers Heand His Family Have Apologized

A foreign teacher in Xi'an, Northwest China's Shaanxi province, was fired for abusing anti-epidemic workers during a nucleic acid testing that violates China's law, the school where he worked announced on Sunday.

陕西西安一名外籍教师违反中国法律，在核酸检测中辱骂防疫工作人员，该男子所在学校周日宣布与其解聘。

The Xi'an Qujiang Kang Chiao International School said in the statement that it decided to dismiss the foreign teacher who taught there because of his improper personal behavior in the epidemic prevention, which violates the employment contract that states, "Do not disrespect the country or race, or violate laws and regulations in China."

西安曲江康桥学校在声明中表示，我校老师在防疫过程中的不当个人行为，严重违反学校聘任条约中所强调的“不得对国家及种族不尊重，不得违反中国法律与规定”之条款，现予以立即解除聘任合同。

According to the video posted online earlier on Friday, a foreign man who was taking a nucleic acid test publicly called health workers "crazy" and "insane" and even spat on the ground.

据周五早些时候在网上发布的视频，一名正在接受核酸检测的外籍男子当众称防疫人员为“疯子”、“神经病”，甚至朝地上吐痰。

The publisher later said she has received a message of apology from the man's family. His family said the man's ability to express his feelings in Chinese was limited and that he had used the wrong words and did not mean to insult the health official, and he regretted his rashness.

视频发布者称，她收到了该男子家人的道歉信。其家人称，该男子汉语表达能力有限，表达情绪时用错词语，并非有意侮辱防疫人员，已为自己的鲁莽感到后悔。

三、德国兴起香肠自动售货机生鲜肉食触手可及| Sausage Vending Machines are a Thing in Germany

Food cravings don't operate on a set schedule. They can strike at any time, like during the late-night hours when most businesses are closed for the day. As the Independent reports, Germany has come up with an ingenious solution to this common inconvenience: 24-hour sausage vending machines that are accessible when the butcher is away.

对美食的渴望是不定点的，说来就来。比如说，你可能会在大多数商店都已关门的深夜时分忽然想吃东西。据《独立报》报道，对于这种常见的吃货小烦恼，德国人已经想出了一个绝妙的解决办法，那就是24小时香肠自动售货机。即使卖肉商贩不在，你也能买到肉食。

The miniature meat markets have become popular in recent years outside German cities. Butchers and other purveyors of fresh food close early in rural parts of the country, which can make grocery shopping difficult for people who work typical hours. The sausage vending machines are always open for business, so customers can pick up their meat for the week's meals (or for an impromptu midnight snack) at the time that works best for them. There were more than 500,000 such machines servicing Germany's carnivores as of 2020, according to NPR.

这种香肠售货机近几年在德国乡镇地区变得很流行。德国乡下的屠夫和生鲜供应商关店时间早，使得正常时间上班的人难以买到这些食品。但是香肠自动售货机24小时都营业，无论顾客是要选购平日吃的肉食，还是一时兴起想吃夜宵，都可以在方便的时间过来购买。据美国国家公共广播电台报道，截至2020年，德国已经有50多万台这样的肉食售货机。

After taking off in Germany, the trend has spread overseas. In June 2021, Hermann, Missouri, welcomed a German-built vending machine stocked with smoked meat products. Getting German sausage at the push of a button may have been a first for the state, but the US has experimented with unconventional vending machines in the past. Los Angeles has hosted a caviar machine, and for customers with smaller budgets, a ready-to-eat burrito vending machine.

香肠自动售货机在德国兴起后，这股潮流也吹到了国外。2021年6月，美国密苏里州赫尔曼市引进了一台德国制造的烟熏肉制品自动售货机，这是该州首台出售德国香肠的售货机。不过美国过去也曾试用过非传统售货机，洛杉矶就曾推出过鱼子酱售货机和价格实惠的即食墨西哥卷饼售货机。

在这四个科学领域我国一马当先︱China leads world in 4 scientific fields

China is leading the world in four scientific fields in terms of the total number of citations generated by the country's international academic papers published over the past decade, according to annual reports published on Monday by the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China, an organization affiliated with the Ministry of Science and Technology.

周一，国家科技部直属的中国科学技术信息研究所，发布了2021年度中国科技论文统计报告。报告表明，按国际论文被引用次数统计，中国在四个领域排在世界第一位。

These four fields are materials science, chemistry, engineering technology and computer science, with computer science being added to the list this year, the reports said. China also holds second place in 10 other fields, including agricultural science, biology and biochemistry, and environmental and ecological sciences.

这四个领域分别是材料科学、化学、工程技术与计算机科学，比上年度增加了一个领域“计算机科学”。此外，中国在农业科学、生物与生物化学、环境与生态学等十个领域论文的被引用次数居世界第二位。

The data for the reports was collected from global scientific literature databases including the Science Citation Index, Scopus and Ei Compendex.

报告数据来自全球的科学文献数据库，包括SCI数据库（科学引文索引）、Scopus数据库和Ei（工程索引）数据库等在内。

Academic citation is one of the key indicators of a paper's quality and influence, and a country's total number of citations in a scientific field is commonly seen as a reflection of its overall research capability in that discipline.

论文引用次数是衡量论文质量和影响力的关键指标，一个国家在某一科学领域的论文引用次数的总数，往往反映出国内该学科整体研究能力。

Last year, China published 1,833 research papers and articles in 15 of the world's top scientific publications, includingNature,Science andCell. This feat placed China two spots higher on the ranking than 2019, reaching second place last year behind the United States.

2020年，中国在《自然》、《科学》和《细胞》等15种世界顶级科学期刊上发表了1833篇学术论文和述评文章，仅次于位列第一的美国，比2019年上升两位。

Zhao Zhiyun, director of the institute, said these achievements meant China's scientific literature has made noticeable progress in producing an increasing number of high-quality papers with global influence.

中信所党委书记兼所长赵志耘介绍称，这些成就表明，国内的科学期刊学术影响水平有了明显的提升，产出了越来越多具有国际影响力的高质量论文。

"We hope our reports can provide timely insights for science workers, administrators and policymakers to identify the latest trend in China's scientific literature and publication sector," she said.

她表示，“希望统计报告能为激发科学工作者、管理者和决策者的洞见，确定中国科学期刊及出版行业的最新趋势。”

Experts said that China climbed in the global ranking partly due to Chinese scientists publishing a large quantity of papers regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as co-authoring and publishing more papers with international peers.

专家介绍称，中国的世界排名有所提升，一部分是因为国内科研人员发表了大量关于新冠疫情的论文，一方面则是国际合著论文数量有所增长。

Among them, Huang Chaolin, president of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, published a paper in January last year in the journalThe Lancet that described the clinical features of patients infected with the novel coronavirus in Wuhan, Hubei province. It had been cited over 13,000 times as of September, Zhao said.

2020年1月，武汉市金银潭医院院长黄朝林在《柳叶刀》杂志上发表了一篇论文，描述武汉市感染新冠病毒患者的临床特征。赵志耘介绍称，截至9月，该论文已被引13000余次。

Last year, Chinese scientists co-wrote around 144,500 scientific papers, 14,400 more than in 2019, with collaborators from 169 countries and regions. China's total number of co-authored papers had increased by 11.1 percent in 2020 compared with the previous year, with the US being China's biggest partner in scientific literature.

2020年，国内科学家与来自169个国家（地区）的科研人员合著论文约14.45万篇，比2019年增加了1.44万篇，增长了11.1%。其中，美国是中国科学文献的最大合作伙伴。

China also published 485 megacollaboration scientific papers last year, each involving at least 100 scientists and 50 research institutions, in fields such as particle physics, astrophysics and nuclear physics.

同年我国作者参与发表的论文中，作者数超过100人且合作机构数大于50个的论文有 485篇，涉及的主题包括粒子与场物理、天文与天体物理、核物理研究等。

Guo Tiecheng, deputy director of the institute, said that from 2011 to October, China had published over 3.36 million international scientific papers, and these papers had been cited over 43.32 million times within that period. The US remains the world's top producer of scientific papers and has the largest number of citations.

中信所副所长郭铁成介绍称，2011年至2021年10月，中国学者发表了336万多篇国际科学论文，在此期间被引用次数超4332万次，而美国仍是世界上最大的科学论文生产国，引文数量也最多。

However, China's average number of citations per paper is around 12.8 within the 10-year period, which is lower than the global average of 13.6, Guo said.

但郭铁成也指出，在这10年内，中国每篇论文的平均引用次数约为12.8次，仍低于全球平均引用次数13.6次。

1992年12月3日，英国程序员尼尔·帕普沃思在电脑上向时任英国电信公司沃达丰总监的理查德·贾维斯发送了一条“圣诞快乐”的短信。

Jarvis received the message on his Orbitel 901 cellphone during the company's Christmas function.

贾维斯在Orbitel 901手机上收到了这条信息，当时该公司正在举行圣诞活动。

The NFT is a replica of the original communication protocol that transmitted the SMS, the auction house said. The unknown buyer, who was to pay in the cryptocurrency Ether, will also receive a digital frame with a 3D animation of the message being received.

奥古特拍卖行表示，这次拍卖的NFT是传输短信的原始通信协议复制品。拍下该NFT的匿名买家将以加密货币——以太币支付，他还将收到一个数码相框，其中包含这条短信的3D动画。

Papworth and his colleagues were trying to develop a type of communication whereby their client, Vodafone, could offer users the ability to send messages to each other's phones, Aguttes explained on its website.

奥古特拍卖行在其网站上解释称，当时帕普沃思和他的同事想开发一种通信方式，让他们的客户沃达丰可以为用户提供用手机相互发送信息的功能。

They eventually refined the code, and the transmission of texts via Vodafone's network became a reality.

他们最终完善了代码，使在沃达丰的网络中传输文本成为现实。

"In 1992, I had no idea just how popular texting would become, and that this would give rise to emojis and messaging apps used by millions," Papworth was quoted as saying by the auctioneer.

拍卖行援引帕普沃思的话称：“1992年的时候，我不知道短信会变得这么流行，会促使数百万人使用表情符号和通讯软件。”

Initially, texts could not be sent from cellphones because they did not have keyboards. However, by 1994, they were able to be transmitted from phones thanks to the arrival of the Nokia 210.

起初，手机里不配有键盘，无法发送短信。而到了1994年，诺基亚210的出现使手机能够发短信了。

Five years later, text messages could be sent on various telecommunications networks, giving rise to their popularity. Texting as a means of communication began to overtake the use of phone calls, according to the press release.

五年后，各种电信网络都可以发送文字短信，短信大肆流行起来。据新闻报道，短信作为一种交流方式开始取代打电话。

The 160-character limit of SMS -- which stands for "Short Message Service" -- has since been incorporated across digital platforms including Twitter.

短信的长度限制为160个字符，此后推特等互联网平台都加入了这一限制。

The way that users choose to express themselves has developed over time with the introduction of Internet acronyms and emojis.

随着网络缩写词和表情符号的引入，用户表达自己的方式随着时间的推移而变化。

Just as the world's first SMS revolutionized the way people communicate, NFTs are shaking up the art world.

正如世界上第一条短信彻底改变了人们的交流方式，NFT也在撼动艺术界。

Non-fungible tokens are a form of cryptocurrency that convert digital pieces of art into unique, verifiable goods that can be traded on the blockchain.

NFT是一种加密货币形式，能把数字艺术品转换为独特的、可验证的商品，可在区块链上交易。

Each NFT is one-of-a-kind, meaning that no two tokens are the same. Since March, when the first NFT artwork was sold for $69,346,250 during an online auction by Christie's, virtual art has broken into the mainstream.

每个NFT代币都是独一无二的。自3月份佳士得拍卖行以69346250美元（约合人民币4.4亿元）的价格售出第一件NFT艺术品以来，虚拟艺术已经成为主流。

Recently, Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales sold an NFT of the first ever edit made on the website -- a testament to how virtual art can be used to commemorate moments in Internet culture history.

最近，维基百科联合创始人吉米·威尔斯出售了该网站首次编辑词条的NFT——这证明了虚拟艺术可以用来纪念互联网文化史上的时刻。

Speaking about the sale of the SMS NFT, Maximilien Aguttes, the development manager at Aguttes auction house, said, "The first printed book, the first phone call, the first email, all these inventions have changed our lives and communication in the world."

在谈到出售首条短信NFT时，奥古特拍卖行的业务拓展经理马克西米利安·奥古特说：“第一本印刷书籍、第一个电话、第一封电子邮件，所有这些发明都改变了我们的生活和交流方式。”

"This first text message received in 1992 is a historic testament to human and technological progress. It transmitted a message of joy, 'Merry Christmas'," Aguttes added.

他补充说：“1992年收到的第一条短信是人类和技术进步的历史见证。它传递了一条溢满欢乐的信息——‘圣诞快乐’。”

Vodafone said earlier this month that proceeds from the sale would be donated to the United Nations Refugee Agency.

沃达丰本月早些时候表示，此次拍卖所得将捐赠给联合国难民署。

“神十三”乘组圆满完成第二次出舱既定任务︱Shenzhou astronauts conduct 2nd spacewalk

China's Shenzhou XIII mission crew conducted their second extravehicular activity on Sunday.

12月26日，神州十三号乘组第二次出舱作业。

During the spacewalk, which started at 6:44 pm on Sunday, mission commander Major General Zhai Zhigang and Senior Colonel Ye Guangfu adjusted the position of a panoramic camera and tested their spacesuits and the robotic arm.

出舱任务由18时44分开始。舱外活动期间，航天员指令长翟志刚、航天员叶光富大校先后完成了全景相机C抬升，进一步验证了舱外服与机械臂的功能性能。

Senior Colonel Wang Yaping stayed inside the Tiangong space station to support the operation.

驻守舱内的航天员王亚平配合地面操控机械臂，支持两名出舱航天员开展舱外作业。

According to the China Manned Space Agency, the spacewalk helped to improve the astronauts' skill at cooperating with each other and ground control, and built experience that will benefit future spacewalks.

据中国载人航天工程办公室介绍，此次活动有助提高舱内外航天员协同以及天地协同能力，为后续出舱活动进一步积累了经验。

It was the first spacewalk for Ye, who joined China's second group of astronauts in May 2010.

航天员叶光富于2010年5月入选我国第二批航天员，此次是他首次出舱作业。

Pang Zhihao, a spaceflight researcher in Beijing who worked at the China Academy of Space Technology for decades, said making spacewalks has become a regular part of China's manned space missions.

中国空间技术研究院工作数十年有余的研究员庞之浩表示，太空行走已成为中国载人航天任务的常规部分。

"Our astronauts have learned a lot about extravehicular maneuvers through previous spacewalks. Next, they will have many challenging, demanding tasks in future spacewalks, such as installing equipment and fixing malfunctions," he said.

他补充道，“此前的出舱活动为我们的航天员积累了许多舱外机动的知识经验，在以后的出舱作业中，他们还会遇到很多挑战，任务也更为艰巨，例如安装设备、修复故障一类。”

The Shenzhou XIII mission was launched on Oct 16 by a Long March 2F carrier rocket that blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China's Gobi Desert, with the crew soon entering the Tiangong space station. They are scheduled to spend six months working in the station, making it China's longest space mission.

2021年10月16日，神舟十三号载人飞船由长征2F运载火箭搭载，于戈壁滩上的酒泉卫星发射中心发射升空，带领飞行乘组进入天宫空间站。此次航天任务为期六个月，是中国目前为止时间跨度最长的航天任务。

As of Sunday, the astronauts have been in space for 72 days. They completed their first spacewalk on Nov 8, with Wang, 41, becoming China's first female spacewalker.

截至12月26日，三名航天员已在太空生活72天。11月8日，乘组圆满完成神州十三号首次出舱活动，41岁的王亚平成为中国首位执行出舱任务的女航天员。

During the first spacewalk, Zhai and Wang mounted components on the robotic arm and used it to practice extravehicular maneuvers. They verified the arm's capabilities and its compatibility with the needs of astronauts, examined the safety and performance of support devices and also tested the functions of their extravehicular suits.

首次出舱活动中，翟志刚和王亚平两位航天员完成安装机械臂悬挂装置，并利用该装置开展舱外机动；检验了我国新一代舱外航天服的功能性能，检验了航天员与机械臂协同工作的能力及出舱活动相关支持设备的可靠性与安全性。

Shenzhou XIII is the fourth spacecraft to visit the Tiangong station and the second crewed ship to transport astronauts to theorbiting outpost.

神舟十三号是第四艘访问天宫站的航天器，也是第二艘将航天员运送至轨道前哨站的载人飞船。

Tiangong, or Heavenly Palace, one of China's most challenging and sophisticated space endeavors, will eventually consist of three main components－the Tianhe core module attached to two large space labs.

“天宫”是中国的空间站系统，是中国太空事业中最具挑战性、最复杂的一项，建成后由三个主要部分——“天和”核心舱、问天实验舱与梦天实验舱组成。

It will have a combined weight of nearly 70 metric tons. The entire station is scheduled to work for about 15 years in a low-Earth orbit about 400 kilometers above the planet.

建成后“天宫”空间站总重量接近70吨，并计划在离地面约400公里的近地轨道上运作约15年。

The first astronauts inside Tiangong－Major General Nie Haisheng, Major General Liu Boming and Senior Colonel Tang Hongbo－finished their 92-day mission in mid-September. They performed two spacewalks. 

神州十二号乘组——聂海胜少将、刘伯明少将、汤洪波大校是“天宫”站内的首批宇航员。三位航天员圆满完成了为期92天的航天任务，期间开展两次舱外活动，并于9月中旬成功返航。

西安启动第三轮核酸检测|Xi'an Starts Third Round of Testing for Coronavirus

More than 4 million residents in Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi province, underwent nucleic acid testing for COVID-19 on Thursday after a third round of testing began at 8 am.

Wu Liuqi doesn't need fancy sets to tell his tales. With a big red nose, a pair of round spectacles like Harry Potter, and his expressive body language, Wu, a 31-year-old mime artist, made his stage debut in the reality show Super Sketch Show, broadcast by streaming platform iQiyi, with a five-minute performance, titled Bob's Travels.

31岁的武六七是一名默剧演员，他不需要花哨的布景来讲故事。一个大红鼻子、一副哈利·波特标配的圆框眼镜，再加上极具表现力的肢体语言，武六七就这样完成了时长五分钟的作品《漂流记》。这是他在《一年一度喜剧大赛》上的舞台首秀。该档综艺目前在爱奇艺播出。

Playing the role of Bob, who finds a magic hat which turns him into the captain of a big boat, Wu takes the audience along on his voyage into a fairy tale world, where he meets new friends.

武六七在《漂流记》里扮演鲍勃。鲍勃发现了一顶神奇的帽子，戴上之后，他就变成了一艘大船的船长，带领着观众踏上了旅程，进入到了一个童话世界，在童话世界里，鲍勃结识了新朋友。

"The audience love to see the actor use nothing but his skills to create a magical world," comments one viewer on Sina Weibo.

一位网友在微博上评论道：“武六七单凭借自己的技艺就创造了一个神奇的世界，这是观众们喜欢看的。”

Actor Cao Muzhi, who also participated in the reality show, says he was "taken back" to his childhood while watching the one-man show. "I even felt a little bit lost after returning to reality."

演员曹牧之也参加了这档真人秀节目，看完这个独角戏后，他说：“他真的带我回到了童年。结束的那一刻，从戏里回到现实中，我甚至感觉有些茫然失落。”

Wu, a Beijing native, has been performing and touring as a mime artist for 10 years. This is the first time Wu has performed in a reality show which premiered on Oct 15 and is being streamed weekly on iQiyi.

武六七是北京人，做默剧演员已经有十个年头了，期间一直各地巡演。这是他第一次参加真人秀。该真人秀于10月15日上线，目前在爱奇艺周播。

The reality show invites five celebrity judges and audience members to vote for 25 groups of contestants. With many rounds of competition, comedians work as soloists or in groups to create original shows for the final win.

节目邀请了五位大咖和现场观众一起为25组喜剧小队投票。比赛分多轮进行，喜剧演员或以个人形式或以组队形式创作原创作品争夺冠军。

"Comedy is hard. The judgement is made based on one rule — whether it makes you laugh or not," says Ma Dong, founder of Beijing-based media enterprise MeWe, which produced the reality show.  

北京传媒公司米未为该档节目的制作方，其创始人马东表示：“喜剧很难。评判的标准就一个：能不能让观众笑。”

"All comedy, at its core, is tragedy, if you look deep enough into it. That's why it is so hard."

“深入观察就会发现喜剧都有悲剧的核。这就是为什么喜剧这么难。”

The reality show is open to lesser-known comedians who bring surprises. Some of them are veteran actors, who have been performing in TV dramas, movies and musicals for years, but still haven't achieved fame, while some are newcomers.

《一年一度喜剧大赛》中的喜剧演员都不是很有名，但他们带来了很多惊喜。参赛演员中有已经在电视剧、电影、音乐剧里摸爬滚打多年但仍籍籍无名的演员，也有新喜剧人。   

"There are many great comedians in China and we want to offer those who may not have been seen by the audience before, a platform," Ma Dong says.

马东说：“中国有很多非常棒的喜剧演员，我们想为那些以前可能从未被观众看到过的人提供一个平台。”

The art of mime is usually considered a niche compared to other theatrical art forms. Wu, however, sees it as a relaxing break from the fast-paced life, which is loud and chaotic.

与其他戏剧艺术形式相比，默剧比较小众。然而，在武六七看来，默剧可以为充斥着喧闹和混乱的快节奏生活带去短暂的放松。

When Wu started to perform as a mime artist, his first show was seen by fewer than 10 people, all of whom were invited to see the show for free.

武六七刚开始做默剧时，他的第一场演出只有不到十个观众，还都是被邀请到场，免费观看的。

"In the beginning, I struggled to make people laugh. It took me a long time to learn, to practice, to see what keeps an audience laughing and what makes them disinterested," says Wu.

武六七说：“一开始，我不知道怎么让观众笑。我花了很长时间去学习、去练习，想看看什么能让观众笑起来，什么又是观众不感兴趣的。”

Ten years ago, Wu and his childhood friend Wang Zi, also a mime artist, founded a club in Beijing, hoping to popularize the genre. They named the club Na Da Ding, or "handstand".

十年前，武六七和发小王梓一起成立了拿大顶剧社（“拿大顶”在北方话里是“倒立”的意思），希望能普及默剧这一艺术形式。

"When you need a good idea for a show, it helps to do a handstand for a few seconds, and let the blood flow to your brain," Wu says.

武六七说：“倒立几秒钟能让血液流回大脑里，有助于思考作品的创意。”  

Now, with around 10 members, the club tours nationally. Last year, Wang performed about 130 shows at small live house venues in China.

现在，剧社大概有10名成员，会在全国巡回演出。去年，王梓在中国进行了大约130场小型现场演出。

"For me, mime is very cool because it is totally dependent on the self-expression of the artists," says Wang, 31, who also showcased his act in the reality show, incorporating dance, hand gestures and a clown performance in his works.

31岁的王梓也参加了《一年一度喜剧大赛》，并在自己的表演作品中融入了舞蹈、手势和小丑表演等元素。他表示：“我觉得默剧是一件很酷的事情，因为它完全依赖于演员的自我表达。”

Actor Jiang Long, 25, made his breakthrough and has gained a large fan base with his comedic play, titled The Last Class, which received high scores both from the celebrity judges and the audience.

25岁的演员蒋龙凭借剧目《最后一课》实现自我突破，收获了大量粉丝。五位大咖评委和现场观众均为《最后一课》打了高分。

Jiang played the role of a jobless actor who works at an escape room to pay his rent. While playing the role of a zombie, he meets his acting teacher, who is keen on giving more training to Jiang, despite the awkward situation.

蒋龙在剧中饰演一名没有戏拍的演员，在密室逃脱里扮演丧尸维持生活。一次扮演丧尸的时候，他遇到了自己的表演课老师。当时情况很尴尬，但老师盛情难却，一直给蒋龙指导演技。

"It's a real story. I went to act in an escape room, where I met a friend, who is an actor. He is a good actor and was devoted to his job of scaring people. He didn't give up acting, although he had to figure out a way to make a living," recalls Jiang.

蒋龙回忆道：“作品是真实故事改编的。有一次，我去玩密室逃脱，碰见了我的一个也是做演员的朋友。他真的是一个很好的演员，全身心地投入到专门‘吓人’的角色之中。虽然不得已要找条出路维持生活，但他依旧没有放弃表演。”

"For many young actors, it is difficult to find jobs after graduation. I am experiencing the same situation and still waiting for opportunities."

“对很多年轻演员来说，毕业后很难找到工作，我也在经历这种情况，还在等机会。”

One of the judges, Huang Bo, was touched by Jiang's performance, which reminded him of his own experience.

蒋龙的表演感动了评委黄渤，让黄渤回想起了自己的经历。

The 47-year-old actor-director recalls his early days pursuing an acting career in Beijing.

47岁的黄渤现在是演员兼导演。他在节目现场回忆起了自己年轻时北漂的经历。

"After graduation in 2004, no one hired me to act so I had to return to my hometown to make a living. I was struggling and depressed. Then I returned to Beijing to continue to look for opportunities to act because I just couldn't give it up."

“2004年毕业以后，没有人找我拍戏，为了生活，我就回老家了。当时心里很挣扎很难受。因为自己还是没有办法放弃表演，就又回北京来了，希望能碰到机会。”

Born and raised in Shenyang, Liaoning province, Jiang graduated from Beijing Film Academy in 2015. He learned to play the piano and practice Latin dance as a child, winning a provincial competition in 2005. He got his first role in a 2004 comedy TV drama, Grow Up, which introduced him to acting.

蒋龙在辽宁沈阳出生长大。2015年，蒋龙从北京电影学院毕业。小时候他学习了钢琴和拉丁舞。2005年获得了“辽宁省第二届国际标准舞大赛”拉丁舞一等奖。2004年蒋龙参演喜剧《长大成人》，开始了自己的演艺生涯。 

He says that some of his actor friends have left the scene to do other things, like opening restaurants. However, he still possesses hope.

蒋龙还表示，他的一些演员朋友已经离开了这个行业，去做一些其他的事情，有开餐厅的。但他自己还是对这个行业抱有希望。

Coming to the reality show allowed Jiang to test his acting skills in comedy. He was intrigued by the genre and decided to concentrate on it.

来这个真人秀能让蒋龙检验自己的喜剧表演能力。蒋龙对喜剧很感兴趣，也决定要深耕于此。

"Good comedy cures people. I become happy and confident when I make people laugh. I met lots of talented comedians in the reality show, who inspired me," says Jiang.

“好的喜剧治愈人。能让观众笑我就会开心，也会变得自信。我在这个节目里遇到了很多有才华的喜剧演员，他们给了我很多启发。”

Before Super Sketch Show, Ma Dong's company successfully produced a reality show, titled The Big Band, in 2019, which brought once-underground Chinese indie rock bands into the limelight.

在推出《一年一度喜剧大赛》之前，米未在2019年推出了《乐队的夏天》，一炮而红，把中国的地下独立摇滚乐队带到舞台聚光灯下。

In 2020, the second season of the reality show also achieved success, which attracted many young music fans to outdoor festivals and live house venues to enjoy their live performances.

2020年，《乐队的夏天》第二季开播，也大获成功，吸引了很多年轻人去户外音乐节和小型演出场所观看乐队现场演出。

For Super Sketch Show, Ma Dong and his team spent a year working with scriptwriters, actors and actresses — double the time they worked on The Big Band.

马东和他的团队耗费了整整一年的时间与编剧、演员探讨打磨，才最终推出了《一年一度喜剧大赛》这个节目，筹备时间是《乐队的夏天》两倍之多。

"The process of preparing for Super Sketch Show was full of concern. We didn't want to entertain ourselves. We were just trying to make people happy and deliver a warm, funny package for all ages," says Ma Dong.

马东表示：“筹备这个节目的过程中有很多担心。我们不想自娱自乐，我们想让大家开心，把温暖有趣的作品打包送给观众。”
