当从液体中纯化出活性成分时，可以证明该活性成分是色氨酸代谢的副产物，称为吲哚-3-乳酸。

When the active component was purified from the liquid, it turned out to be a byproduct of tryptophan metabolism known as indole-3-lactic acid.


当研究人员将小白鼠饲料中的色氨酸数量翻倍后，这类细胞的数量增加了大约 50％，但当色氨酸水平减半时，细胞数量减少了一半。

When the researchers doubled the amount of tryptophan in the mice's feed, the number of such cells rose by about 50 percent but when tryptophan levels were halved, the number of cells dropped by half.


塞万提斯?巴拉甘 (Cervantes-Barragan) 博士解释说，人们和老鼠一样，具有相同的增进耐受力的细胞，我们大多数人在我们的胃肠道中存在着路氏乳杆菌。

Dr Cervantes-Barragan explained people have the same tolerance-promoting cells as mice, and most of us shelter L. reuteri in our gastrointestinal tracts.


人类是否可以像实验中的小白鼠一样将体内来自路氏乳杆菌的色氨酸副产物诱导细胞发育，目前尚未可知，但在炎症性肠病患者中发现与色氨酸有关的基因缺陷。

It is not known whether tryptophan byproducts from L. reuteri induce the cells to develop in people as they do in mice, but defects in genes related to tryptophan have been found in people with inflammatory bowel disease.


她说：“这些细胞的发育可能正是我们想要得到的结果，因为这些细胞可以控制肠道内表面的炎症反应。

She said: 'The development of these cells is probably something we want to encourage since these cells control inflammation on the inner surface of the intestines.


可以不确切地说，在路氏乳杆菌中存在的高水平色氨酸可能会导致该菌种数量的增加。

Potentially, high levels of tryptophan in the presence of L. reuteri may induce expansion of this population.'


何塞·穆里尼奥认为曼联签下了“天才”内马尼亚·马蒂奇

Jose Mourinho thinks Manchester United have signed a 'genius' in Nemanja Matic


周三晚，内马尼亚·马蒂奇在桑普多利亚对抗赛首次亮相后，穆里尼奥认定曼联签下了一位“天才”中场球员。

Manchester United have signed a "genius" in Nemanja Matic, believes Jose Mourinho, after the midfielder made his debut against Sampdoria on Wednesday evening.


马蒂奇来自切尔西，签约金高达 4000 万英镑，周二在都柏林对阵皇家马德里的欧洲超级杯之前的联赛最后一场季前赛中开打 2-1，赢得了保罗·博格巴和安德烈亚斯·佩雷拉的青睐。

The £40m signing from Chelsea started the 2-1 win in Dublin, United's final preseason game before the Uefa Super Cup against Real Madrid on Tuesday, and impressed in the holding role as the likes of Paul Pogba and Andreas Pereira marauded forward at will.


然而，在布鲁斯季前赛亚洲巡回赛中，马蒂奇比赛状态严重不足，只完成了 45 分钟的时间，穆里尼奥承认在英超赛季开始前需要改进。

However, having been left out of the Blues' preseason tour of Asia, Matic was severely lacking match fitness and only managed 45 minutes, something Mourinho admitted needed to be improved before the start of the Premier League season.


“他需要时间，但他有经验、智慧以及天才的思考方式——他思考足球，”穆里尼奥说。

"He needs time but his experience, intelligence, a genius in the way he thinks - he thinks football," Mourinho said.


“我们会尽快帮助他做好准备。”

"We will help him to be ready sooner rather than later."


穆里尼奥在本赛季开始时开始安排他的首发阵容。与马蒂奇一样，新签约球员维克多·林德洛夫和罗梅卢·卢卡库也开始了在英杰华体育场的比赛。

As well as Matic, fellow new signings Victor Lindelof and Romelu Lukaku also started the game at the Aviva Stadium as Mourinho started to shape his starting XI for the start of the season.


独立报本周报道，穆里尼奥仍然希望再引进三位签约球员，但他坚持认为俱乐部“工作出色”，他心中有四位首选签约球员，俱乐部已经引进了其中三位。

The Independent revealed this week that Mourinho still wanted another three signings but he insisted that the club had already done a "fantastic job" of delivering three of his four priority signings.


“俱乐部引进了其中三位签约球员，我十分感谢。”他补充说道。

"To get three out of four I thank the club for that," he added.


“如果俱乐部能够引进全部四位球员，我会更开心，但他们已经为我做出了很大的努力。”

"I will be happier if they get me four of four but they did a great effort for me."


全球在掀护卫舰高潮 中国如果不建这型军舰是否会落后？

The global spree of frigates building If China does not build this type of warships, will it fall behind?


随着近期世界各大海军强国先后公布了新型护卫舰的建造计划，仿佛一夜之间护卫舰有成了各大强国海军关注的焦点，先是日本在2018年度防卫预算中确定采购两艘新型护卫舰，使得日本DEX护卫舰计划终于有了实质性的突破，后是美国洛克希德马丁于近期公布了美国FFG护卫舰计划的最新方案，那么中国的新型护卫舰该何去何从呢？

With the recent announcement of the construction of new types of frigates by major naval powers in the world, it seems that frigates have become the focus of attention of the major naval powers overnight. First, Japan has decided to purchase two new frigates in the 2018 annual defense budget, finally making a substantial breakthrough for its DEX frigates program. Later, Lockheed Martin of USA recently published the latest arrangement for the United States FFG frigates program. How about China's plan for building new type of frigates?


随着2017年末一艘最新的054A型护卫舰的下水，标志着054A护卫舰已经建造了高达29艘之多，已经逼近了053H系列护卫舰的总和，而从2006年第一艘054A下水至今，054A的建造历程已经有了12年之久，即使在全世界范围内，建造如此数量之多的高性能通用护卫舰，除了中国，也只有美国在上个世纪7、80年代建造的“佩里”级护卫舰可以相提并论了。

With the launching of the latest model of 054A frigate at the end of 2017, the number of 054A frigate has reached 29, approaching the sum of the 053H series frigates. Since the first 054A was launched in 2006, the history of building 054A has extended to 12 years. Building such a large number of high-performance general purpose frigates is very rare in the history. Apart from China, the only comparable accomplishment was made by the United States in the 1970s and 1980s when it built a host of 'Perry' class frigates.


而为何要建造这么多054A的原因也很简单，那就是实惠、好用、外加补充多年来的海军欠账。

And the reason why it is necessary to build so many 054A frigates is simple, that is, it is affordable, easy to operate, and doing so can make up for the deficiency of Chinese Navel that has beset the Naval for many years.


054A护卫舰凭借较高的性价比和不错的战斗力多年以来一直得到中国海军的青睐，其4000吨左右的排水量，搭载有一门76毫米主炮，32单元海红旗-16和鱼-8反潜导弹共架发射的垂发系统，8枚鹰击83和一架直-9直升机，虽然是2006年开始建造，设计时间更是很早的一种舰艇，但是其战斗力即使放到当今也不算太差，放眼全世界的护卫舰当中也能达到中上的水平。

The 054A frigate has been favored by the Chinese Navy for many years thanks to its high cost performance and good combat effectiveness. With a displacement of 4,000 tons, the warship is equipped with a 76-mm main gun, and shared launching system for 32 HQ-16 and Fish-8 anti-submarine missiles, 8 YJ-83 anti-ship missiles and 1 Z-9 helicopter. Although it was first built in 2006 and was designed even earlier, its combat effectiveness is not too bad even by today's standard. It can be ranked as medium- to high level frigate among all the frigates in the world.


但是这毕竟是一型21世纪初设计的舰艇，武器配置放在一边，其动力系统和电子雷达设备与目前世界主流护卫舰相比已经存在很大差距，像欧洲的同类型护卫舰已经配备全电力推进、小型多功能相控阵雷达、大尺寸直升机甲板的情况下，也到了发展新型号的时候了。

However, it is a warship designed at the beginning of the 21st century after all. Armaments aside, its propulsion system and electronic radar system lag significantly behind the current mainstream frigates in the world. Considering that similar frigates in Europe have been equipped with full electric propulsion, small multi-function phased array radars and large helicopter decks, it is time to develop new models.


那么说中国的新型护卫舰应该如何发展，这与其将来的定位和我们中国海军的战略方针有着直接关系。

Then how should China develop its new frigates? This has a direct bearing on its future orientation and the strategic direction of Chinese navy.


中国海军未来的发展必将是彻底成为蓝水海军的，而未来也必将是走向大洋，具备在于中国切身利益息息相关的地区进行快速部署，展示武力存在，必要时能够拥有强大的战斗力来保证中国在该地区的切身利益不被损坏，那么如此看来新型胡伟江必将朝着大型化、远洋化发展。

The future development of the Chinese Navy will inevitably aim at becoming the blue water navy, roaming in the vastness of the oceans. It should be able to deploy rapidly in areas that are closely related to China’s vital interests and demonstrate the presence of force. If necessary, it will use powerful combat capabilities to ensure that China’s vital interests in the region are not compromised. So, it seems that the new models of frigates will surely be huge ships that can roam the blue water.


再看看新型护卫舰在未来中国海军序列里的定位问题，未来的中国海军应该会和美国海军类似，除去必备的近海防御舰艇以外，其他主力舰艇将会根据情况需要组成航母战斗群或者两栖攻击舰打击群。

Let's look at the positioning of the new frigates in the future rank and file of Chinese Navy. The future Chinese Navy should be similar to the US Navy. In addition to the necessary offshore defense ships, the other main ships will form an aircraft carrier battle group or amphibious attack group as the situation requires.


而新型护卫舰的角色在未来航母战斗群里应该会充当反潜主力和中近区域放空的定位，在两栖攻击舰打击群里应该会充当护卫舰艇类，那么根据这样的需求就要求新型护卫舰必须具备强大的反潜能力和不错的中程区域放空能力。

The new frigates in the future aircraft carrier battle group should play the primary role in anti-submarine and short-range air defense operations. In the amphibious attack group, they should provide protection to ships. According to these requirements, the new frigates must have strong anti-submarine capability and good mid-range air defense capability.


基于上述的定位，可以大胆的设想出未来国产护卫舰的大概模样。

Based on the above positioning, we can boldly imagine the rough appearance of the new frigates in the future.


首先来说排水量相对于现在的054A型护卫舰将有一个大幅度的增加，估计新型护卫舰的排水量会达到5000-6000吨左右;动力系统将会采用有一台QC280改进型燃气轮机和两台柴油机组成的综合电力推进系统，最高航速有望达到30节左右，续航力也会大幅度增加;至于武器配置76毫米主炮和1130近防炮应该会保留，但是会增加一座红旗10发射系统，主炮后面应该会有一个32-48单元红旗16改进型和鱼-8共架的垂发系统，在舰体中后方应该会加装一个8-16单元的大型垂发系统用于发射鹰击18和新型巡航导弹;机库和停机平台也会增大，达到两架10吨级直升机的停放和存放;至于电子雷达系统方面，高配的话应该会装备基于346A发展的小型四面固定相控阵雷达，低配的话可以使用类似于欧洲护卫舰上的多功能旋转相控阵雷达。

First, the displacement will be increased significantly compared to the current 054A model. It is estimated that the displacement of the new frigate will reach about 5000-6000 tons. The ship will be equipped with a comprehensive electric propulsion system that combines a QC280 modified gas turbine and two diesel engines, improving the maximum speed to around 30 knots and significantly increase the cruise range. As for the weaponry, the 76mm main gun and 1130 near-range anti-aircraft gun will be retained, but a HQ-10 launch system will be added. A shared vertical launching system for 32-48 unit HQ-16 modified missile and Fish-8 missiles will be furnished at the back of the main gun. A large 8-16-unit vertical launching system should be furnished at the middle-to-rear section of the hull for the launch of YJ-18 and new cruise missiles. Hangars and parking platforms will also be expanded for the parking and storage of two 10-ton helicopters. As for the electronic radar systems, the high grade model will be equipped with a small four-sided fixed phase-control array radar developed based on 346A. the low grade model will be furnished with multi-function rotating phased array radar similar to the ones on European frigates.


这样一来新型护卫舰的总体水平将会达到目前世界上的一流水准，即使是同美国的FFG相比也不逞多让。

Thus, the overall level of the new frigates will edge into the world's top bracket, even comparable to the FFG frigates of the USA.


当然上述的概念只是笔者对于国产新型护卫舰的猜想，具体如何我们只能等到新型护卫舰下水的时候才能一探究竟，让我们共同期待吧。

Of course, these are only the author's conjecture on domestically produced new frigates. Only when the new frigates are launched into the water can we know the truth. Let's anticipate the day.


近年来，我市鼓励企业积极参与国家、行业标准和区域团体标准的建设，对为主或者参与制定浙江制造团体标准的企业给予30万元奖励，对通过浙江制造品牌认证的企业奖励50万元，是全省该项奖励的最高额度，激发了企业参与对标的热情。

In recent years, our city has encouraged enterprises to actively participate in the construction of national or industry standards as well as regional group standards. An award of RMB300,000 will be given to enterprises that are principals or that participate in formulating standards for the Made in Zhejiang team, and RMB500,000 awarded to enterprises that have passed the Made in Zhejiang brand certification. This is the most generous award given out in the Province, and has incentivized enterprises to benchmark themselves against the standards.


日前，王力集团生产车间，该集团体系负责人高健与员工一起正将一樘防盗安全门封箱打包，作为参与浙江制造团体标准对标达标工作样品，准备送往绍兴质量检测中心。

Recently, at the production workshop of Wonly Group, Gao Jian, head of the Group’s companies, and its staff were working together to pack and send a burglar-proof door to Shaoxing Quality Inspection Center as a sample for the Made in Zhejiang team’s benchmarking and standard achievement work.


就在前两天，王力已通过了“浙江制造”认证专家组的现场审核。

Just a couple of days ago, Wonly had passed the on-site inspection of the “Made in Zhejiang” certification expert team.


高健表示，由行业技术专家和质量认证组织组成的专业团队对该集团在品质卓越、自主创新等核心方面的成绩表示赞誉，一致认为完全合标，接下来只要产品通过检验，王力将成为首批通过该标准的企业之一。

Gao Jian said that the professional team made up of industry technical experts and the quality certification organization commended the Group’s performance in terms of quality excellence, proprietary innovation and other core aspects, and unanimously believed that the Group had achieved the standards in all respects. If Wonly’s product were to pass the subsequent inspection, it will become one of the first enterprises to have achieved and passed these standards.


王力集团只是标准撬动产业转型升级的一个缩影。

Wonly Group is but an epitome of standards driving industry toward structural transformation.


我市与其同步开展浙江制造团体标准对标和达标工作的还有步阳、群升集团。

Buyang Group and Qunsheng Group are also enterprises in the city that are carrying out the Made in Zhejiang team’s benchmarking and and standard achievement work.


自去年由我市防盗安全门行业制定的浙江制造团队标准制定以来，星月、新多等企业也在积极申请对接对标工作。

Since our City formulated the Made in Zhejiang standards for the burglar-proof doors industry last year, Xinyue, Simto and other enterprises have also actively applied to undergo benchmarking.


近些年大量资本涌入影视市场，明星演员的知名度与片酬水涨船高。制片人何静曾爆料称，某部热拍剧中的两位演员拿着近亿元的片酬，最后竟然只一起搭了两天的戏，其他戏份基本全由替身代劳。

In recent years, a flood of capital has flowed into the film and TV market, and the profile and remuneration of actors have risen rapidly. Producer He Jing once revealed that two actors of a certain hit drama which was being filmed were earning salaries of close to RMB100 million. In the end, they only acted for two days; their doubles took care of the rest of the film.


在演员四处串戏成风的当下，同一时间女男主演在不同剧组，造成同一时间不能同时出现在片场，剧组被迫用替身来保证周期。

In the present situation where actors taking on roles in several dramas simultaneously is popular, lead actors and actresses would be at different sets at the same time. This has meant that they would not be able to appear at the same set at the same time. As such, film crews have been forced to use doubles to ensure the film schedule.


据了解，在从成都客场回到北京后，莫里斯继续前往医院进行了针灸治疗，以保证伤情不会继续恶化。

It is learned that Morris will head for hospital to accept acupunture therapy after arriving at Beijing from Chengdu, so as to prevent the injury from continuous deterioration.


三星在本周早些时候发布的一份声明中说，在美国市场，93%的已售Note7智能手机已被召回。

In a statement released earlier this week, Samsung stated that 93% of the Note 7 smartphones in the US have been recalled.


最后，李彦宏还称，中国不缺好故事，但没有像哈利波特那样“能跨越文化，具备生态效应的IP”，而这种“生态思维”正是我们该向好莱坞学习的地方。

Finally, Li Yanhong also said that China does not lack good stories, but does not have “IPs with ecological effect that can transcend cultures” like Harry Porter, and this “ecological thinking” is precisely an area we should learn from Hollywood.


中国家庭债务率接近美国 比买不起房更可怕的是还不起债？

China's household debt ratio is close to the United States. Is being unable to repay loan more frightening than being unable to afford a home?


最近一段时间，大家都在讨论房地产政策最近有什么变化，是不是房地产政策又要松绑了？土地政策供给主体多元化，会不会让房价出现下降呢？

Recently, everyone has been talking about the recent changes in real estate policies. Is it true that real estate policies have been loosened? Is the diversification of land supply going to bring down the housing prices?


但是，在我们担心房地产价格，担心宏观经济调控，担心房地产市场未来走势的时候，《人民日报》再次撰文了，上次我们专门论述了《人民日报》评论对于房地产调控的定调，而现在《人民日报》撰文论述的却是一个比买不买得起房更为严重的话题，这就是即使你买得起房，还得起债吗？

However, just when we were worried about real estate prices, macroeconomic controls and the future trend of the real estate market, the People's Daily published an important commentary once again. Last time we discussed how People’s Daily had set the tone for the regulation of real estate market through a commentary. This time, the commentary of People's Daily deals with a topic that is more serious than the affordability of housing: can you repay the loan even if you can afford the down payment of a mortgage?


今天，我们就来聊聊比买房更为严峻的问题：还贷。

Today, let's discuss the question more serious than buying a house: repay the loan.


一、中国日益严重的房债危机


《人民日报》海外版于1月17日发表了评论文章《奖与贷︰奋斗青年的乐与忧》，根据文中的数据显示，2017年11月，中国社科院国家金融与发展实验室、国家资产负债表研究中心发布的《三季度中国去杠杆进程报告》指出，居民部门杠杆率依然延续上升趋势，从2017年二季度的47.4%上升到三季度的48.6%，上升了1.3个百分点，2017年前三个季度上升了3.8个百分点。

The People's Daily Overseas Edition published a commentary titled “Awards and Loans: The Joy and Worries of Struggling Young People” on January 17th. The article cited some data from an report on the progress of nationwide financial deleveraging in the 3rth quarter jointly published by the National Laboratory of Finance and Development of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the National Balance Sheet Research Center in November 2017. According to the report, the leverage ratio of the residents' sector continues to climb, rising from 47.4% in the second quarter of 2017 to 48.6% in the third quarter, an increase of 1.3%, which amounts to an increase of 3.8% in the first three quarters of 2017.


居民部门在全部实体经济中的债务占比加大，杠杆率上升速度较快。

The residents sector accounts for an increasing share of the total debt in the real economy, and the leverage ratio has risen rapidly.


有关研究表明，中国家庭在金融机构的负债以消费性贷款为主，约占居民负债的2/3，大约是经营性贷款的2倍。

Relevant studies have shown that Chinese households' debts in financial institutions are dominated by consumer loans, which account for about two-thirds of residents' debts, which is about twice that of business loans.


其中，在消费性贷款中，以住房贷款为主的中长期贷款占八成左右，但从增量看，短期消费贷款增长速度较快，高于中长期贷款。

Among the consumer loans, medium- and long-term loans dominated by housing loans accounted for about 80%, but short-term consumer loans grow faster than medium- and long-term loans.


除此之外，中国家庭债务率只是统计了家庭部门从金融机构获取的信贷总额，而中国家庭还有不少包括向亲戚朋友借钱在内的民间借贷，存在大规模隐性债务。

Moreover, the household debt ratio figure obtained in the study is only reflects the total amount of credit that the household sector obtains from financial institutions. In fact, many Chinese households borrow money from private sources including relatives and friends, creating a large amount invisible loans.


看到这样的数据，让人不禁有些瞠目结舌，根据苏宁金融研究院的统计数据显示，1996年中国居民杠杆率只有3%，2008年也仅为18%，但是自2008年以来居民杠杆率开始呈现迅速增长态势，短短六年间翻了一倍，达到36.4%。到了2017年三季度居民杠杆率已经高达48.6%。

Seeing such data, one cannot help but be stupefied. According to the statistical data of Suning Financial Research Institute, the leverage ratio of Chinese households was only 3% in 1996 and 18% in 2008. But this figure doubled in just six years since the trend of rapid growth of leverage ratio set in, reaching 36.4%. By the third quarter of 2017, the leverage ratio of households has reached 48.6%.


我们再对比一个数据，去年五月份，汇丰银行发布了一项横跨9国、受访者接近上万人的调查报告。

Let's make another comparison. In May last year, HSBC issued an investigation report involving 10,000 respondents in 9 countries.


这项报告的访问对象为9个国家的“千禧一代”年轻人（出生在1980年至2000年间）。

The investigation was targeted at young people in the millennial generation (born between 1980 and 2000) in nine countries.


报告指出，中国的80、90后年轻人住房拥有率高达70%，遥遥领先第二名墨西哥（46%），也是美国该项指标（35%）的2倍水平。

The report pointed out that China's young people who were born in 1980s and 1990s have a home ownership rate of 70%, far ahead of Mexico at the second place (46%), and twice the US level (35%).


这些数据告诉我们一个极有可能出现的问题，那就是相比于买不起房而言，中国居民现阶段最大的潜在“灰犀牛”估计会是还不起债了。

These figures reveals that compared to the problem of being unable to afford homes, the biggest risk of 'Grey Rhinoceros' for Chinese residents at present is likely to be being unable to repay debt.


二、房债危机为什么才是最为严重的问题？

2. Why is the housing debt crisis the most serious problem?


正如我们之前的分析，虽然我们一直在说中国房价较高，但是相比于世界上其他的国家而言，中国的住房拥有率其实是相当高的，那么与其说房价高买不起房，恐怕现在要问很多朋友的问题是你还得起贷款吗？

As we have analyzed previously, although we have been saying that China’s housing prices are relatively high, China’s housing ownership rate is actually quite high compared to other countries in the world. So the urgent question facing a lot of friends is whether you can replay the loan rather than the question of whether you can afford a home.


我们纵观全世界的房地产市场，中国的房地产市场由于起步较晚，除了我们之前说的海南之外，尚未出现过大的房地产危机，但是就在十年前的2008年全世界金融海啸的起源就是美国的房地产危机。

A quick review of the real estate market in the world leads to the conclusion that China’s real estate market hasn't experience major crisis except for the localized crisis in Hainan Province as we mentioned before. This is because commercialization of property is a relatively recent phenomenon in China. However, it's alarming to note that the real estate crisis in the United States triggered a global financial tsunami in 2008, just a decade ago.


而美国房地产危机出现的原因则被归咎于两房：房利美和房地美。

The blame for the real estate crisis in the United States falls on two financial institutions: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.


当时在美国的黄金时代，房地产公司为了扩大销售将房子以极低的首付卖给了当时美国的低收入人群，在美国经济向好的时候，房地产市场也是一片欣欣向荣，然而好景不长，随着美国经济出现了增长的停滞，引起了购房者的收入下降，于是大量的家庭消费支出开始下降。

In the so called 'golden age' of the United States, real estate companies sold their houses with very low down payments to the low-income people in order to expand sales. When the US economy was prosperous, the real estate market was also thriving. However, it did not last long. The stagnation of growth in the U.S. economy caused the income of home buyers to fall, which in turn caused the consumption expenditures of a large number of households began to decline.


但是，当时美国的现状是美国家庭资产的组成部分金融资产和房地产资产，美国的低收入群体几乎所有的家庭资产全部是房地产，而前20%的高收入群体中大部分资产却是金融资产，于是就造成了在美国越是贫穷的人家房地产的负债率就越高。

Most U.S. families had both financial assets and real estate assets. At that time, almost all household assets of the low-income families were real estates, while the majority assets of the top 20% high-income families were financial assets. As a result, poorer people in the United States have higher debt ratio.


一个严重的事实是这些人都是在经济较好的时候买的房子，所以支付房贷的钱也是以他们较好的收入来计算的，当收入出现了下滑的时候，房贷的压力不仅没有减少甚至因为一些次贷计划变得浮动增加，于是此消彼长之下这些美国家庭的房地产问题就这么逐步演变成为了房地产的危机。

A grave reality is that these people bought their houses when the economy was prosperous, so the money to pay the mortgage is also calculated based on their better income. When the income declined, the pressure on the mortgage increased as a result of floating nature of some subprime mortgage plans. Thus, the real estate problems of these American families gradually evolved into a real estate crises.


从而有人因为收入过低支付不起房贷，于是银行就开始收回房产，当银行从拖欠贷款的购房者手中收回房产之后，他们会以极低的价格售出，从而导致了该地区的房价一步步下滑，这个过程又引发了房价进一步的下滑，形成了一个恶性循环，当房价下跌到一定的程度之后，越来越多的购房者发现自己的房子价值甚至已经比自己的贷款还低了，于是就有了更多的人停止继续还房贷，又造成了更多的坏账。

Some people cannot afford to pay their mortgages because their incomes were too low. The banks began to take over the houses from the home buyers who had defaulted on the loan, and then sold them at very low prices, resulting in a step-by-step price fall in the area. This vicious cycle caused a further decline in housing prices. When the housing prices had fallen to a certain extent, more and more home buyers found that their house values became lower than their loans. Thus, more and more people stopped repaying their home mortgages, resulting in a large number of bad debts.


于是，一个巨大的恶性循环就此形成：

In this way, a huge vicious circle formed:


“经济不景气——收入下滑——一部分人还不起房贷——银行低价出售欠账人的房子——房价下跌——更多的人停止还房贷——银行又出售——房价又下跌……”

“Economy downturn – incomes fall – some people can’t repay mortgages – banks sell defaulted houses at low prices – house prices fall – more people stop paying home mortgages – banks sell houses again – prices fall again ..."


而问题不止如此，因为房价的持续下跌，大家停止还贷把房子给银行之后并不是你就没有债务了，如果银行拍卖房子得到的钱还还不上你欠银行的贷款的话，那么你还是需要接着还钱，简单点说假设你用首付60万，贷款240万买了一套当时价值300万的房子，当房价下跌到这个房子只值200万的时候，你不再还贷把房子给了银行，银行拍卖房子之后，你不仅损失了自己的首付60万，还倒欠银行40万的债务，你还是要接着还钱。

The problem did not stop there. As house prices continue to fall, a new situation emerged: The money the bank got after auctioning the defaulted house was less than the loan the home buyer owed the bank, the home buyer still need to repay the loan. So stopping repayment does not necessarily mean that you are cleaned of the debt. For example, if you paid a down payment of $600,000 and borrowed $2.4 million to buy a house worth $3 million at the time. When the house price falls to $2 million, you stop to repay the loan and give the house to the bank. After the bank auctions the house, you will not only lost your down payment of $600,000, but also owed $400,000 debts to the bank. You still have to repay the debt.


于是，就在这样一个接一个的恶性循环下，美国的经济逐渐陷于崩溃，最终引发了美国2008年的金融危机。

Thus, with the effect of such vicious cycle one after another, the U.S. economy gradually collapsed and eventually triggered the U.S. financial crisis in 2008.


所以，现阶段中国家庭债务率的水平达到了46.8%的高位是一件非常需要警惕的问题，这个数据在目前来看还是低于发达国家水平，但是问题的苗头已经开始出现，国家从去年开始就反复强调去杠杆问题，这是一件非常有先见之明的判断，家庭债务率如果放任其继续攀升的话，必然会引发巨大的风险，所以要严防金融风险的出现。

Therefore, the fact that China’s household debt ratio has reached a high level of 46.8% is a problem that requires great vigilance. Although this figure is still lower than that of developed countries at present, the signs of the problem have already begun to emerge. The central government started to stress the issue of deleveraging repeatedly in the last year, which is a very prescient judgment. If the household debt ratio is allowed to continue to climb, it will inevitably lead to a huge crisis. Therefore, we must strictly guard against the hidden financial risks.


于是有了之后房子是用来住的、不是用来炒的定位，国家更加快建立多主体供给、多渠道保障、租购并举等多重措施，进一步化解潜在风险。

It's no wonder that the central government has set the tone for the real estate market: Houses are for living, not for speculation. The government are taking multiple measures to resolve potential risks, including increasing land and housing supply and encouraging house renting.


对于我们个人家庭来说，一定要放弃房地产投机思维，买房的时候量力而行，避免自己家庭陷入巨大的负担之中，只有合理的评估自己的收入和负债水平才是一个健康的家庭财富发展道路。

For our individual families, we must abandon the mindset of speculating on real estate and make purchase according to our own financial capacities. In this way, we can prevent our families from falling under huge financial burden. A reasonable assessment of one's own income and debt levels is essential for healthy growth of family wealth.

英国发明家在自己体内植入芯片，挥手即可进屋进车

British inventor microchips himself to get into house and car with a wave of hand


一英国发明家为自己安装芯片，只需挥一挥手即可打开他家前门、进入办公室甚至将车启动，成为全国第一人。

A British inventor has become the first in the country to be fitted with a microchip so he can open his front door, access his office and even start his car with just a wave of his hand.


33 岁的史蒂文·诺瑟姆在他的拇指和食指间植入一块小小的芯片，且现在正为想要简化自己生活的公司和个人提供此项服务，该服务由他的公司 BioTeq 通过技术来实现。

Steven Northam, 33, had the tiny chip implanted between his thumb and finger and is now offering the service to businesses and individuals who want to simplify their life with technology through his company BioTeq.


他已和汉普郡温彻斯特皇家汉普郡医院的高级顾问麻醉师杰夫?沃森医生联手，确保植入过程达到医学标准。

He has teamed up with Dr Geoff Watson, a consultant anesthetist at the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester, Hants, to ensure the implant procedure is carried out to a medical standard.


该技术与猫狗芯片植入类似，且只需 30 秒。

White House Prop Cost Taxpayers Thousands


根据《时代》杂志发布的军事记录记载，上个月白宫决定运送一架海军陆战队直升机至南草坪用于彰显美国制造业的巨大荣耀，耗资高达 24,000 美元。

The White House's decision to fly a Marine helicopter to the South Lawn for an event highlighting American manufacturing last month cost taxpayers as much as $24,000, according to military records released to TIME.


绿白相间的 Sikorsky VH-3D（总统乘坐时也称海军陆战队一号）是白宫 7 月 17 日凸显美国建造项目活动上的重要展品。

The green-and-white Sikorsky VH-3D, known as Marine One when the President is aboard, was the centerpiece of the July 17 event at the White House showcasing American construction programs.


总统唐纳德·特朗普、副总统迈克·彭斯和众白宫高级官员巡视了来自全部 50 个州的制造产品。

President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and senior White House officials toured manufacturing products from all 50 states.


展品有康涅狄格州制造的直升机、一艘缅因州的游艇、一辆威斯康辛州的消防车和一台密西西比州的叉车。

The Connecticut-made helicopter was displayed alongside a yacht from Maine, a fire truck from Wisconsin, and a forklift from Mississippi.


根据负责操作该直升机的部队海军陆战队直升机第一飞行队 (HMX-1) 的记录，白宫军事办公室要求该直升机按日常命令 (FRAGO) 现身，即在该直升机降落在南草坪参加此次“特别”活动前仅 36 小时。

The White House Military Office requested the helicopter's presence in a fragmentary order, or FRAGO, barely 36 hours before the helicopter landed on the South Lawn for the "unusual" event, according to the records of Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1), the unit responsible for operating the helicopter.


活动前一天，HMX-1 指挥官在向上级海军陆战队飞行副司令发送的电子邮件中表示“我只想确认您知晓，因为这此次活动受到高度重视。”

"I just wanted you to make sure you were aware because it's such an unusual high visibility event," the commander of HMX-1 emailed his superior, the Marine Deputy Commandant for Aviation, the day before the event.


该信息表明该直升机将于 7 月 17 日大约上午 7 点抵达南草坪参加下午 3 点的活动，在当天晚上 6 点至 9 点草坪清空后才离开。

The message indicated the helicopter would arrive on the South Lawn at approximately 7 a.m. on July 17 for the 3 p.m. event, and remain until the lawn was cleared between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. that evening.


该信息还表示万一从白宫出发的时间推迟，回航则因为值班时间限制需要第二组机组人员。

The note adds that should the departure from the White House be delayed, a second aircrew would be needed for the return flight due to duty-hour restrictions.


原机组人员在活动期间在直升机边待命，而保安部队人员在飞机位于地面时在附近待命。

The original flight crew was with the helicopter during the event, while unit security personnel remained with the aircraft while it was the ground.


《时代》杂志得到的记录中并未清楚指出最终是否需要第二组机组人员。

It was not clear from records provided to TIME whether a second flight crew was ultimately required.


《哈奇法案》禁止联邦雇员出于政治目的使用政府财产。

The Hatch Act prohibits federal employees from using government property for political purposes.


记录指出 HMX-1 曾询问此次活动是否违反了该法案。

Records indicate that HMX-1 inquired about whether the event might violate the provision.


该指挥官写道“我们问的一个问题是这是否违反了《哈奇法案》，并被告知没有违反。”

"One question we asked was if it was a violation of the Hatch Act and were informed it was not," the commander wrote.


“听起来你被锁住了啊，”副司令回复道。

"Sounds like you are locked," the Deputy Commandant replied.


白宫将此次“美国制造”活动定义为官方活动，因此不受《哈奇法案》管辖。

The "Made in America" event was designated an official event by the White House, and would not have been covered by the Hatch Act.


但是即使是官方活动也带有政治色彩。

But even official events have political overtones.


活动中，总统推行当时参议院的议题：医疗改革，并大肆吹捧对政府法规的管控。

At the event, the President made a push for healthcare reform efforts then underway in the Senate and touted efforts to rein in government regulations.


将海军陆战队一号或空军一号飞机用于政治宣传目的已经不是什么新鲜事。

Using the aircraft known as Marine One or Air Force One for politically advantageous purposes is hardly a new phenomenon.


历届总统都被要求出行需乘坐这些飞机。

Presidents are required to use them for travel.


但是仅为拍照目的将其征用并不常见。

But requisitioning their use solely for a photo-op is unusual.


二月份特朗普就受到关注，当时是在佛罗里达州墨尔本，总统专机慢慢滑行，最终停到了他第一次竞选集会的背景布处，而他的推特账户充斥着对前任总统使用总统专机的抱怨信息。

Trump drew scrutiny in February when the presidential airplane taxied to the backdrop of his first campaign rally in Melbourne, Fla., and his Twitter account is flush with messages complaining about his predecessor's use of the presidential aircraft.


白宫副新闻发言人林赛·沃尔特斯称“白宫因此次‘美国制造’展览而激动不已，此次展览展示了来自全部 50 个州的产品，这些产品均由美国工人使用美国材料制造。”

"The White House is thrilled with the 'Made In America' showcase that featured products from all 50 states that are made by American workers with American materials," said White House deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters.


HMX-1 机组人员经常在华盛顿地区附近和南草坪进行飞行训练，练习将美国总统准确安置在白宫。

HMX-1 crews frequently perform training flights around the Washington area and at the South Lawn to practice depositing the President of the United States at the White House with inches of precision.


7 月初特朗普在德国参加 G-20 峰会期间，HMX-1 在白宫练习了 58 次着陆。

When Trump was at the G-20 summit in Germany in early July, HMX-1 conducted 58 practice landings at the White House.


一位官员称，此次美国制造活动飞行计入本月机组人员训练要求中。

The flight for the Made in America event counted toward the aircrew's training requirement for the month, an official said.


直升机部队当天也额外飞行了 11 个小时的“非总统支援任务”。

Unit helicopters also flew an additional 11 hours that day for "non-presidential support missions."


白宫方面称纳税人并没有承担此次活动中任何其他道具的费用。

The White House said taxpayers did not pick up the burden for any of the other props featured at the event.


Sikorsky 发言人称该公司并未参与安排南草坪直升机展示。

A spokesperson for Sikorsky said the company was not involved in arranging for the helicopter to be displayed on the South Lawn.


HMX-1 并没有保留总统飞行的预算记录，因此要确定此次活动产生的准确费用非常困难。

HMX-1 doesn't maintain budgetary records for presidential flights, and determining the precise cost incurred by the event is difficult.


但是根据国防部 2017 财政年度的小时费用记载，VH-3D 的国防部可报销费用为每飞行小时 24,380 美元。

But according to Department of Defense hourly rates for fiscal year 2017, the DoD reimbursement rate for the VH-3D is $24,380 per flight hour.


部队记录记录了飞机每次从弗吉尼亚州匡提科海军陆战队机场的基地飞行的时间为 30 分钟。

Unit records record the aircraft flight time as 30 minutes each way from its home base at Marine Corps Air Facility Quantico in Virginia.


白宫方面称操作该直升机的成本远低于该费用。

The White House argues the true cost of operating the helicopter is well below that rate.


沃尔特斯称“基于可报销费来估计纳税人所出的费用非常有误导性。

"To place a cost to taxpayers based on the reimbursement rate estimates is highly misleading," Walters said.


这些估计的费用包括人员费用、维护费和其他很多包括在年度拨款中的沉没成本。

"These rate estimates include personnel, maintenance and many other sunk costs that are included in annual appropriations."


一份 2015 年的 RAND 研究显示，国防部可报销费用并不包括人员费用，但确实包括油费、维护费和订约成本。

According to a 2015 RAND study, DoD reimbursement rates do not include the cost of personnel, but do account for fuel, maintenance, and contracting costs.


当时，前白宫新闻发言人肖恩·斯派克为此次活动使用该直升机辩护，

At the time, former White House press secretary Sean Spicer defended the use of the helicopter for the event.


并称“想法是在本周展示美国制造的东西，

"The idea is to showcase this week things that are made in America," Spicer said.


而且我知道 Sikorsky 公司和康涅狄格州都为此感到自豪，他们都为我们的国家安全贡献了一份力量，我猜测就算没有数千也有数百人的工作要依赖于此。

"And I know Sikorsky and the state of Connecticut are very proud of the fact that they contribute to our national security, that there are, I assume, hundreds if not thousands of people whose job depends on that.


而且我觉得像大部分美国人一样，我们都为这架直升机和其他军事设备感到自豪，这是无数美国人不辞辛劳作出的成果。

And I think, like most Americans, we're all proud of the helicopter and other military equipment that so many Americans worked tirelessly to do.


所以彰显这一点当然并没有不合时宜。”

So, of course, it's appropriate to highlight that."


我们并不清楚特朗普在活动中游览南草坪时是否与该直升机互动，但他确实坐上了消防车的驾驶座。

It wasn't clear whether Trump interacted with the helicopter as he toured the South Lawn for the event, but he did step into the driver's seat of a fire truck.


在白宫内，特朗普向 Sikorsky 公司代表发表讲话，拿他自己拥有的该公司飞机跟媒体开玩笑。

Inside the White House, Trump addressed Sikorsky representatives, joking with the media about his own fleet of company products.


他说“我很了解 Sikorsky 飞机。我有三架。”

"I know Sikorsky very well," the President said, "I have three of them."


习近平关于全面从严治党的妙喻

Brilliant Metaphors of Xi Jinping about Comprehensively Strengthening Party Discipline


1月11日，在中国共产党第十九届中央纪律检查委员会第二次全体会议上，习近平总书记发表重要讲话，强调“以永远在路上的执着把全面从严治党引向深入，开创全面从严治党新局面”。

During the second plenary session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping gave a keynote speech on January 11, emphasizing that “we should keep marching ahead on the road of adhering to the principle of comprehensively strengthening party discipline and creating a new situation for comprehensively strengthening party discipline”.


关于全面从严治党，习近平总书记有过很多形象的比喻，一同回顾！

With respect to comprehensively strengthening party discipline, General Secretary Xi Jinping has given many vivid and impressive metaphors, so let’s review them together!


“老虎”要露头就打，“苍蝇”乱飞也要拍。要推动全面从严治党向基层延伸，严厉整治发生在群众身边的腐败问题。

We should fight against “tigers” (high-ranking corrupt officials) immediately after we find evidence, and we should also deal with those “flies” (low-ranking corrupt officials) at the same time. We should spread the principle of comprehensively strengthening party discipline to grass-roots party organizations and make every effort to deal with those corruption problems in daily life of the general public.


——2018年1月11日，习近平在中国共产党第十九届中央纪律检查委员会第二次全体会议上发表重要讲话

-- On January 11, 2018, Xi Jinping gave a keynote speech during the second plenary session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China


广大纪检监察干部要做到忠诚坚定、担当尽责、遵纪守法、清正廉洁，确保党和人民赋予的权力不被滥用、惩恶扬善的利剑永不蒙尘。

Officials responsible for discipline inspection and supervision at all levels should be loyal and determined, responsible, discipline and law-abiding, honest and upright in order to ensure that the power granted by the Party and the people will not be abused, and the sharp sword used for praising virtue and punishing vice will never be covered by dust.


抓落实来不得花拳绣腿，光喊口号、不行动不行，单单开会、发文件不够，必须落到实处。

It is impossible to ensure implementation of policies by taking showy and impractical actions and shouting slogans. Without practical actions, we can’t ensure proper implementation of policies only by holding meetings and issuing documents. We must do our works in a practical manner.


——2017年12月25日至26日，习近平在中央政治局召开的民主生活会上发表重要讲话

-- During December 25 and 26, 2017, Xi Jinping gave a keynote speech at the meeting of democratic life held by Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the CPC


中央政治局的同志都应该明史知理，不能颠倒了公私、混淆了是非、模糊了义利、放纵了亲情，要带头树好廉洁自律的“风向标”，推动形成清正廉洁的党风。

Our comrades from the Political Bureau should learn about history and be reasonable and must not confuse public and private interests, call white black, blur the boundary between righteousness and benefits or handle issues based on nepotism. You should erect a “wind vane” by taking the lead in adhering to honesty and self-discipline and help establish a work style for the party characterized by honesty and integrity.


用一贤人则群贤毕至，见贤思齐就蔚然成风。选什么人就是风向标，就有什么样的干部作风，乃至就有什么样的党风。

A person of virtue will attract a group of persons of virtue, so all people will emulate those better than themselves and the action will become a common practice. Personnel appointment serves as the “wind vane”, which will determine the work style of cadres and even the work style of the Party.


——2013年6月28日，习近平在全国组织工作会议上的讲话

-- From the speech delivered by Xi Jinping at the National Organization Working Conference on June 28, 2013


打铁必须自身硬。党要团结带领人民进行伟大斗争、推进伟大事业、实现伟大梦想，必须毫不动摇坚持和完善党的领导，毫不动摇把党建设得更加坚强有力。

A blacksmith must have necessary skills in order to do his job in a great way. The Party should unite the people and lead them in fighting great battles, pushing forward great causes and realizing great dreams. We should adhere to and improve the Party’s leadership and make the Party become stronger unswervingly.


——2017年10月18日，习近平在中国共产党第十九次全国代表大会上的报告指出

-- On October 18, 2017, Xi Jinping pointed out the following during the 19th CPC National Congress


当前，反腐败斗争形势依然严峻复杂，巩固压倒性态势、夺取压倒性胜利的决心必须坚如磐石。

At present, the anti-corruption campaign is still facing a complex and challenging situation, so we must be rock-firm determined to consolidate the overwhelming trend and win an overwhelming victory.


——2017年10月18日，习近平在中国共产党第十九次全国代表大会上的报告指出


坚持反腐败无禁区、全覆盖、零容忍，坚定不移“打虎”、“拍蝇”、“猎狐”，不敢腐的目标初步实现，不能腐的笼子越扎越牢，不想腐的堤坝正在构筑，反腐败斗争压倒性态势已经形成并巩固发展。

During the anti-corruption campaign, we must adhere to the principles of no forbidden zone, full coverage and zero tolerance and should be determined to “fight against tigers”, “beat flies” and “hunt foxes”. The goal of ensuring that officials dare not become corrupt is primarily achieved. The cage used for preventing corruption is getting increasingly secure, and the dam that can block intention of corruption is being built. An overwhelming trend of the anti-corruption campaign takes shape and is becoming increasingly consolidated and developed.


各级领导干部要带头执行《准则》、《条例》，把好用权“方向盘”，系好廉洁“安全带”，激浊扬清，扶正祛邪，自觉为营造风清气正的政治生态履职尽责、作出贡献。

Leading cadres at all levels should take the lead in implementing the Codes and Rules, hold the “steering wheel” in exercising power and fasten the “safety belt” for ensuring integrity. In addition, they should also make efforts to eliminate vice and exalt virtue, strengthen resistance against corruption and eliminate evil factors, perform their duties in creating an honest and upright political ecology and make their contributions during the process.


——2017年3月8日，习近平在参加十二届全国人大五次会议四川代表团审议时强调

-- On March 8, 2017, Xi Jinping emphasized the following during review of the Sichuan Delegation at the 5th session of the 12th National People's Congress


我们党反腐败不是看人下菜的“势利店”，不是争权夺利的“纸牌屋”，也不是有头无尾的“烂尾楼”。

The anti-corruption campaign of the CPC isn’t a “Snobbish Shop” that treating different people with different attitudes, or a “House of Cards” characterized by fighting for power and benefit, or an “unfinished building” having a beginning but no end.


——2016年1月12日，习近平在第十八届中央纪律检查委员会第六次全体会议上的讲话

-- From the speech delivered by Xi Jinping at the 6th plenary session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China on January 12, 2016


实现全面建成小康社会奋斗目标、实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦，关键在于培养造就一支具有铁一般信仰、铁一般信念、铁一般纪律、铁一般担当的干部队伍。

To achieve the goal of building a moderately well-off society in an all-round way and realize the Chinese Dream of achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, it is key to cultivate and build a cadre team with iron-clad faith, belief, discipline and sense of responsibility.


——2015年12月11日，习近平在全国党校工作会议上的讲话

-- From the speech delivered by Xi Jinping at National Party School Working Conference on December 11, 2015


要深入推进反腐败斗争，下大气力拔“烂树”、治“病树”、正“歪树”，使领导干部受到警醒、警示、警戒。

We should push forward the anti-corruption campaign in an in-depth manner and make great efforts to uproot “rotten trees”, fix “sick trees” and make “crooked trees” become upright in order to alert, warn and caution leading cadres.


——2015年3月6日，习近平参加十二届全国人大三次会议江西代表团审议时指出

-- On March 6, 2015, Xi Jinping pointed out the following during review of the Jiangxi Delegation at the 3rd session of the 12th National People's Congress


理想信念是共产党人的精神之“钙”，必须加强思想政治建设，解决好世界观、人生观、价值观这个“总开关”问题。

Ideal and belief serve as “calcium” for the spirit of members of the Communist Party, so we must strength ideological and political construction and solve any problem concerning outlook on world, outlook on life and values, which is the “master switch”.


——2014年1月20日，习近平在党的群众路线教育实践活动第一批总结暨第二批部署会议上发表重要讲话

-- On January 20, 2014, Xi Jinping gave a keynote speech at the summing-up meeting for the first batch & the deployment meeting for the second batch of educational and practical activities concerning the mass line of the Party


要切实执行组织纪律，不能搞特殊、有例外，各级党组织要敢抓敢管，使纪律真正成为带电的高压线。

We should implement organizational discipline in a practical manner and must not tolerate privilege or exception. Party organizations at all levels should dare to maintain discipline in order to make discipline become an actually live high-voltage line.

-- On January 14, 2014, Xi Jinping gave a keynote speech at the 3th plenary session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China


批评和自我批评是一剂良药，是对同志、对自己的真正爱护。开展批评和自我批评需要勇气和党性，不能把我们防身治病的武器给丢掉了。

Criticism and self-criticism serve as a good medicine and the actual care given to our comrades and ourselves. Performing criticism and self-criticism needs courage and party spirit, and we must not lose our weapon used for defending ourselves and treating diseases.


——2013年9月25日，习近平在指导河北省委常委班子专题民主生活会时强调

-- On September 25, 2013, Xi Jinping emphasized the following at the special meeting of democratic life attended by the leading group of the standing committee under the Party committee of Hebei Province


要加强对权力运行的制约和监督，把权力关进制度的笼子里，形成不敢腐的惩戒机制、不能腐的防范机制、不易腐的保障机制。

Neighbors also said that flowers blooming on the money tree is a rare sight. Residents of the housing estate felt that this was very auspicious, and came to take a look out of interest after learning about the matter.

The scientific name for the money tree is “Malabar Chestnut”, a tropical plant native to Mexico. It performs best in warm and damp conditions, and its flowers will only bloom under appropriate conditions such as sunlight, water and nutriments.

The fine and dense stamens resembled silver threads with gold stars at their tips.


高阿姨告诉记者，这棵发财树种了8年了，当时种的时候大约高1米，现在长有5米多了。

Aunt Gao told the reporters that the money tree has been planted for eight years. When it was first planted, it was about one meter tall; it is now more than five meters tall.

但我省经济增长仍存在投资效率偏低、工业经济缺乏核心竞争力等困境。为此，省经济信息中心最新一期《经济蓝页》建议提高经济增长的质量和效益。

However, the Province’s economic growth continued to experience difficulties such as low investment efficiency, and a lack of core competitiveness in its industrial economy. To this end, the latest issue of the “Economic Blue Paper” of the Province’s Economic Information Center advised raising the quality and benefit of economic growth.


以2005年和2011年我省经济的一些代表性指标为依据，将其与全国及中部地区进行比较。

We have made a comparison of some of the representative indices of the Province’s economy between 2005 and 2011 with that of the nation and Central China.


在工业经济效益上，2011年，在我省占有相当比例的工业能源、原材料等高耗能行业，受市场波动影响较大和产能过剩“双重压力”，同时，家电、汽车等主导产业创新力不足，导致利润微薄。

In 2011, in terms of industrial economic benefit, high energy consumption industries such as industrial energy and raw materials, which comprised a relatively large proportion of the Province, had to endure “twin pressures” - they were significantly affected by market volatility as well as overcapacity. At the same time, home appliances, automotive and other leading industries lacked innovation, resulting in slim profits.


而大量的投资没有带来相应经济效益，是导致我省经济增长质量和效益不高的重要原因。

Meanwhile, enormous investment did not bring about the corresponding economic benefit, which was a key factor leading to poor quality and benefit in economic growth.

As for low industrial economic benefit, experts said that industry merger and reorganization should be actively advanced, industry structure optimized, and the industry chain extended.

英国总工会 (GMB) 关注针对麦维他公司 (McVitie) 格拉斯哥工厂的投资

GMB concern over investment at McVitie's Glasgow factory


工会希望饼干制造商麦维他公司管理层保证长期致力于在拉斯哥工厂进行生产。

A union is seeking reassurance from managers at biscuit maker McVitie's over its long-term commitment to production at its factory in Glasgow.


英国总工会苏格兰分会称，该公司对托尔克罗斯 (Tollcross) 工厂投资的未来一直保持沉默。

GMB Scotland said the company had been silent over the future of investment at the Tollcross site.


该工厂有 500 多名员工，生产燕麦饼干 (Hobnobs) 、浓茶饼干 (Rich tea) 等产品。

More than 500 people work at the plant, which produces Hobnobs and Rich Tea biscuits, among other products.


麦维他公司的所有人普拉迪 (Pladis) 斯表示，过去几年来，公司已经向该工厂投资了 500 多万英镑。

McVitie's owner Pladis said it had invested more than £5m at the site in the last few years.


他补充道，如工厂运营有变化，员工和工会代表“会率先知道”。

It added employees and union representatives "will be the first to know" if there were any changes to its operations.


在致公司厂长的信中，英国总工会苏格兰分会呼吁麦维他公司“解决资金未结转到生产线现代化上的问题。”

In a letter to the company's site manager, GMB Scotland called on McVitie's to "address concerns that funding is not being brought forward for the modernisation of production lines."


英国总工会资深主办人德鲁?达菲 (Drew Duffy) 说：“我们无法从工厂总经理那里清楚了解到托尔克罗斯 (Tollcross) 未来的业务需求和投资计划，这使我们的成员深感担忧。

GMB senior organiser Drew Duffy, said: "The fact that we cannot get clarity from the general site manager over the business needs and investment plan for the future of Tollcross is deeply concerning our members.


一代又一代的家族在这里工作，而且本地社区和大格拉斯哥地区劳动力高度集中，是高失业和社会剥夺严重的地区体面就业的重要支柱。

Generations of families have worked here and the workforce is highly concentrated in the local community and the greater Glasgow area, a crucial pillar of decent employment in an area of high unemployment and social deprivation.


因此，从就业、薪酬和经济繁荣的角度来看，在英国脱欧，生活成本上涨和制造业长期衰退的背景下，格拉斯哥东部地区迫切需要麦维他不断扩大生产网络。”

So, from the perspective of jobs, pay and prosperity, and against the backdrop of Brexit, rising cost of living and chronic manufacturing decline, the east end of Glasgow desperately needs a thriving manufacturing presence at McVitie's."


普拉迪斯公司的发言人表示：“托尔克罗斯 (Tollcross) 的厂长昨日刚收到英国总工会苏格兰分会的来信，该公司将会立即进行回复，因为我们重视与雇员和工会代表保持持续接触。

A spokeswoman for Pladis said: "The site manager at Tollcross received a letter from GMB Scotland only yesterday and the company will be responding directly as we value ongoing engagement with employees and union representatives.


两个月前，我们在托尔克罗斯 (Tollcross) 与员工和英国总工会代表举行了例会，公开讨论了一些问题。

We had a regular meeting with employees and GMB representatives at Tollcross two months ago at which a number of issues were discussed openly.


我们与员工进行了讨论，然后，像所有在竞争激烈和经济不明朗的环境中运营的其他公司一样，我们对我们应用于企业和工厂的持续运营模式进行了审查，以便保持竞争力。

We discussed with employees then that like all companies operating in an extremely competitive and uncertain economic climate, we review our operations on an ongoing basis - and that applies across our all our businesses and sites - in order to remain competitive.


她补充道：“近年来，我们在托尔克罗斯 (Tollcross) 工厂的投资超过 500 万英镑，特别是在生产线和运营改进方面。

She added: "In recent years, we have invested over £5m in our Tollcross site, notably on production lines and operational improvements.


我们充分认识到托尔克罗斯 (Tollcross) 作为生产基地的历史地位，如我们在该厂的运营业务有任何变化，员工和工会代表将会第一个知道。”

We fully recognise the heritage of Tollcross as a manufacturing site and should there be any changes to our operations at the site, employees and their union representatives will be the first to know."


中新社西藏定日5月11日电(记者陈韬彬)西藏自治区体育局副局长尼玛次仁10日在珠穆朗玛峰北坡大本营表示，今后珠峰北坡的生活垃圾清理将从过去的公益行动走向由中国政府主导、国际各界参与的常态化行为。

China News Service Tibet, May 11 wire (Chen Taobin) Nyima Tsering, Deputy Director of the Tibet Autonomous Region Sports Bureau said at the Everest North Base Camp on the 10th that the cleaning up of domestic waste on the northern slope of Mount Everest will move from a public interest action in the past toward a normalized action led by the Chinese government and in which the international community will participate.


5月10日，环保志愿者们将分类垃圾装入卡车。

On May 10, environmental protection volunteers loaded rubbish that have been sorted onto trucks.


中新社记者何蓬磊摄近十几年来，随着珠峰登山探险者和旅游者急剧增加，山峰所在地的环保问题日益凸显。

China News Service/He Penglei: In the last 10 years or so, environmental protection issues at Mount Everest have become increasingly prominent as the number of Mount Everest explorers and tourists increased significantly.


1997年春，西藏自治区登山协会在珠峰北坡发起第一次清扫活动，清理了一批上世纪六七十年代遗留的氧气瓶等生活垃圾。该视频还在当年的东京世界气候大会上专门播放，引起世界关注。

In the Spring of 1997, the Tibet Autonomous Region Mountaineering Association initiated the first clean-up on the Northern slope of Mount Everest, cleaning up oxygen tanks and other domestic waste left over from the 1960s and 1970s. This video was also specially broadcast at the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Kyoto that year, drawing world attention.


据尼玛次仁介绍，1997年之后，公益团队陆续对珠峰北坡进行过清扫，但参与者大多为非专业人士。

According to Nyima Tsering, after 1997, public interest groups arrived successively to help clean up the Northern slope of Mount Everest, but most of the participants were non-professionals.


巴黎圣日耳曼三年前就警告过巴塞罗那要签走内马尔？

Did PSG warn Barcelona about move for Neymar three years ago?


西甲可能会后悔对马尔科·维拉蒂抛出橄榄枝

La Liga side may rue their interest in Marco Verratti


在提出 1.89 亿英镑报价试图让其行使豁免条款之后，巴黎圣日耳曼不会放弃签入内马尔，但他们在三年前是否警告过巴塞罗那要向这位世界记录突袭者发起进攻？

Paris Saint-Germain will not let up in their pursuit of Neymar after lodging a £189m offer to trigger his release clause, but did they warn Barcelona of the world-record raid three years ago?


这个耸人听闻的方法已经打开了夏季转会窗口，法甲俱乐部准备以超过上一次转会记录两倍的价格打破世界转会纪录。保罗·博格巴上赛季返回曼联，金额高达 8900 万英镑。

The sensational approach has lit up the summer transfer window, with the Ligue 1 club ready to break the world transfer record by more than double the previous mark, which saw Paul Pogba return to Manchester United last season for £89m.


一旦转会完成，内马尔将跃升成为世界上身价最高的球员，同时也是世界上薪水最高的职业运动员——巴黎圣日耳曼提供每周超过 50 万英镑的税后薪资。

Once completed, the move will see Neymar become the world's most expensive player and also the highest-paid professional sportsman in the world, with PSG offering wages of over £500,000-a-week after tax.


巴塞罗那对于内马尔的进攻方式以及闯出出路感到愤怒，了解加泰罗尼亚队董事会的消息人士坚持说，2013 年他从桑托斯抵达后，俱乐部一直竭尽全力关照他。

Barcelona are known to be furious with the manner of the approach and the way that Neymar has forced his way out, despite a source close to the Catalans' board insisting that the club have always done their best to look after him since his arrival from Santos in 2013.


但是巴黎圣日耳曼主席三年前曾对足球世界发出过这样的预测吗？

But was the football world warned of this prospect three years ago by the PSG president?


当曼城在 2014 年表示有兴趣签约布莱斯·马泰迪时，纳赛尔·阿尔赫莱菲对任何一家想签下巴黎圣日耳曼最佳球员的俱乐部发出过严厉警告。

When Manchester City expressed an interest in signing Blaise Matuidi in 2014, Nasser Al-Khelaifi had a stern warning for any club looking to sign one of PSG's best players.


“我并不担心，因为他们知道如果他们接触我们的任何一位球员，我们必将与他们针锋相对，我们也会联系他们的球员，” 阿尔赫莱菲说。

"I am not worried because they know that if they touch one of our players, then we will be in opposition to them, we'll contact their players," Al-Khelaifi said.


但如果他们试图签约我们的球员，那他们也要自食恶果。”

But if they try to sign one of our players, they'll face consequences."


今年夏天早些时候，这家西班牙俱乐部似乎越线了，巴塞罗那向巴黎圣日耳曼中场球员马尔科·维拉蒂抛出了橄榄枝。

Barcelona appear to have crossed this line, with the Spanish club expressing an interesting in PSG midfielder Marco Verratti earlier this summer.


巴黎圣日耳曼明确表示，他们无论如何都不会允许这位意大利国脚离开，而巴塞罗那很可能会因为失去阵中天才内马尔而倍受影响。

PSG made it clear that they would not allow the Italy international to leave under any circumstances, and Barcelona could well be feeling the repercussions of that interest by losing one of their prize assets in Neymar.
