    英语新闻丨救援人员深入西藏边境口岸泥石流受灾区域开展救援

    Rescuers had reopened the main access route to within 1.2 kilometers of the border gate at Gyirong Port in Shigatse, Xizang autonomous region, by early Monday, as authorities prepared to intensify a new round of searches in the core disaster area, according to the frontline rescue headquarters.据前线救援指挥部消息，截至周一清晨，救援人员已打通至西藏日喀则吉隆口岸边境大门 1.2 公里处的主要通道，有关部门准备在核心受灾区域开展新一轮加大力度的搜寻工作。 A massive mudslide originating on the Nepalese side of the China‑Nepal border struck Gyirong Port on Wednesday morning, causing major casualties and leaving people missing. The disaster severely damaged National Highway G216, the main road leading to the port, and cut electricity and communications.上周三上午，中尼边境尼泊尔一侧发生大型泥石流，冲击吉隆口岸，造成重大人员伤亡，还有人员失联。此次灾害严重损毁通往该口岸的主要道路 G216 国道，并造成电力、通信中断。 The rescue headquarters said at a news conference on Sunday that rescuers were pushing southward along G216 from the northern side of Gyirong Port to reopen the route while searching for survivors and missing people along the route.救援指挥部在昨天的新闻发布会上表示，救援人员从吉隆口岸北侧沿 G216 国道向南推进抢通道路，同时沿路搜寻幸存者与失联人员。 On Monday, China Anneng Group deployed 150 emergency rescue personnel and 29 sets of various mechanical equipment to the operation. As of 8 am Monday, crews had advanced another 508 meters.周一，中国安能集团投入 150 名应急救援人员以及 29 台套各类机械设备参与抢险作业。截至周一上午 8 时，作业队伍又向前推进 508 米。 The road remains a key access point for rescuers attempting to reach the hardest‑hit area of Gyirong Port.这条道路仍是救援人员赶赴吉隆口岸重灾区的关键通行通道。 Progress has also been made in restoring communications.

    英语新闻丨US called on to fix hurdles, aid exchanges

    Foreign Minister Wang Yi has urged Washington to remove disruptions and overcome obstacles to high-level exchanges between China and the United States, saying that both countries should earnestly implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state. 中国外交部长王毅敦促美方排除干扰、克服障碍，推动中美高层交往，并表示中美双方应切实落实两国元首达成的重要共识。 Wang, who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks on Wednesday during a meeting in Beijing with David Perdue, the US ambassador to China, according to a statement released by the Foreign Ministry on Thursday.据中国外交部8月27日发布的消息，中共中央政治局委员、外交部长王毅8月26日在北京会见美国驻华大使戴维·珀杜时作出上述表态。 Under the guidance of the two heads of state, China and the US are working to build a constructive relationship of strategic stability, Wang said.王毅表示，在两国元首的引领下，中美双方正共同努力构建具有战略稳定性的建设性关系。 He said facts show that improving bilateral relations, coexisting peacefully on the basis of mutual respect and achieving win-win cooperation serve the fundamental interests of the two peoples and meet the common expectations of the international community.他表示，事实证明，改善两国关系，在相互尊重基础上和平共处、实现互利共赢，符合两国人民的根本利益，也顺应国际社会的共同期待。 Noting that the China-US relationship still faces various risks and challenges, Wang emphasized the need for both sides to focus on a constructive agenda and properly manage differences to promote stable, healthy and sustainable development of bilateral ties.王毅指出，当前中美关系仍面临各种风险挑战，双方应聚焦建设性议程，妥善管控分歧，推动两国关系稳定、健康、可持续发展。 Perdue said the two heads of state have provided important strategic guidance for advancing bilateral ties, noting that US President Donald Trump's visit to China in May was a success.珀杜表示，两国元首为推进双边关系发展提供了重要战略指引，并指出美国总统唐纳德·特朗普今年5月的访华之行取得成功。 The US is willing to strengthen communication with China, advance cooperation, make preparations for the next stage of important high-level interactions, and build a constructive relationship of strategic stability on the basis of respect and reciprocity, the ambassador added.这位大使补充说，美方愿同中方加强沟通，推进合作，为下一阶段重要高层互动做好准备，并在相互尊重、对等相待的基础上构建具有战略稳定性的建设性关系。 On behalf of the US, Perdue expressed condolences over the casualties caused by a deadly mudslide that struck the Gyirong land port along the China-Nepal border in Southwest China's Xizang autonomous region.珀杜代表美方，就中国西南部西藏自治区中尼边境吉隆口岸发生的泥石流灾害造成的人员伤亡表示慰问。 Later, Perdue said in a post on social media that he had productive meetings with Chinese Foreign Ministry officials.随后，珀杜在社交媒体上发文表示，他与中国外交部官员进行了富有成效的会谈。 During his trip to China in May, Trump invited President Xi Jinping to visit the US in the autumn.特朗普今年5月访华期间，曾邀请中国国家主席习近平于今年秋季访问美国。 At a regular news conference on Thursday in Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said that China and the US are maintaining communication on the arrangement of interactions between the two heads of state within the year.在周四于北京举行的例行记者会上，中国外交部发言人林剑表示，中美双方正就年内两国元首互动的安排保持沟通。 Wang's meeting with Perdue came as the US is reportedly planning to impose a 7.5 percent tariff on Chinese goods on the pretext of excess manufacturing capacity.王毅与珀杜会面之际，据报道美方正计划以所谓"产能过剩"为由，对中国输美商品加征7.5%的关税。 Huang Ling, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Commerce, said on Thursday that the US, citing "overcapacity", has initiated an investigation against 16 economies, including China, under Section 301 of its Trade Act of 1974, which politicizes economic and trade issues.商务部新闻发言人黄玲周四表示，美方以所谓"产能过剩"为由，依据其1974年《贸易法》第301条款，对包括中国在内的16个经济体发起调查，这一做法使经贸问题政治化。 The US-China Business Council released its annual member survey report in June, indicating that 95 percent of respondents considered China to be "somewhat" to "very important" for maintaining global competitiveness.美中贸易全国委员会今年6月发布年度会员调查报告显示，95%的受访企业认为，中国市场对于维持其全球竞争力"较为重要"乃至"非常重要"。 The survey also found that US tariffs continue to increase costs for its own citizens, while the country's export controls unnecessarily undermine US businesses.调查还发现，美国关税持续推高本国民众的生活成本，而美方出口管制措施则在不必要地损害美国企业的利益。 Around half of the affected US companies are losing sales to Chinese or international competitors, leading to lost market share in many cases, the report said, adding that the curbs failed to achieve their purported goal of denying China access to key technologies.报告显示，约半数受影响的美国企业正因中国或其他国际竞争对手而流失销售份额，导致其在许多情况下市场份额下滑；报告还指出，这些限制措施并未达到所谓阻止中国获取关键技术的预期目标。 Craig Allen, former president of the US-China Business Council and a nonresident senior fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute's Center for China Analysis, said Chinese investors in the US play a very important role in local economic stability.美中贸易全国委员会前会长、亚洲协会政策研究院中国分析中心非常驻高级研究员克雷格·艾伦表示，在美中国投资者对当地经济稳定发挥着十分重要的作用。 "In my view, the largest growth areas are probably in the services industries, also probably any industry touched by AI (artificial intelligence). But I think that there's room for growth across the board," Allen said in a recent interview with Chinese media.艾伦在近期接受中国媒体采访时表示："在我看来，增长潜力最大的领域可能是服务业，此外，任何受到人工智能影响的行业也可能存在很大增长空间。不过我认为，各个领域都还有增长的余地。" "We want to see more enthusiastic trade and investment going both ways across the Pacific Ocean.""我们希望看到更加活跃的贸易与投资在太平洋两岸双向流动。" hurdle /ˈhɜːrdl/ n.障碍，难关 disruption /dɪsˈrʌpʃən/ n.干扰，扰乱 high-level exchange /haɪ ˈlevəl ɪksˈtʃeɪndʒ/ n.高层交往 consensus /kənˈsensəs/ n.共识 strategic stability /strəˈtiːdʒɪk stəˈbɪləti/ n.战略稳定性 condolence /kənˈdoʊləns/ n.慰问，哀悼 productive meeting /prəˈdʌktɪv ˈmiːtɪŋ/ n.富有成效的会谈 regular news conference /ˈreɡjələr nuːz ˈkɒnfərəns/ n.例行记者会 tariff /ˈtærɪf/ n.关税 excess manufacturing capacity /ɪkˈses ˌmænjuˈfæktʃərɪŋ kəˈpæsəti/ n.过剩制造产能 overcapacity /ˌoʊvərkəˈpæsəti/ n.产能过剩 politicize /pəˈlɪtɪsaɪz/ v.使政治化

    Xi says China-Kyrgyzstan cooperation entering 'golden period'

    The China-Kyrgyzstan cooperation has ushered in a "golden period" of rapid development, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Sunday as he landed here for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit 2026 and a state visit to Kyrgyzstan. Upon the arrival, Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov and his wife welcomed Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, at the Manas International Airport. In a written speech, Xi extended sincere greetings and best wishes to Japarov and the people of Kyrgyzstan on behalf of the Chinese government and people. Noting that China and Kyrgyzstan share a time-honored traditional friendship, Xi said that the majestic Tianshan Mountains stands as witnesses to the millennia of friendly exchanges between their peoples. Over the 34 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the China-Kyrgyzstan relationship has withstood the test of a changing international landscape, maintained sound and stable development throughout, and reached the high level of a comprehensive strategic partnership for a new era. In recent years, bilateral trade volume and people-to-people exchanges have reached new highs, Xi said, noting that major projects including the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway have been successfully implemented, and the tangible results of mutually beneficial cooperation have broadly benefited the two peoples. Xi said that during the visit he will have in-depth exchanges of views with Japarov on China-Kyrgyzstan relations, cooperation in various fields between the two countries, and international and regional issues of common concern, and draw a new blueprint for building a China-Kyrgyzstan community with a shared future. "I look forward to attending the SCO Bishkek Summit, working with all parties to revisit the 25-year development experience of the SCO, jointly discuss cooperation plans, create the future of the organization, and promote the continuous new development of the organization," Xi said.

    Chinamaxxing: The Evolution of a Global Fascination with Chinese Life

    This episode begins with a quiet shift on social media—young people practicing baduanjin in parks, drinking goji berry tea, and soaking their feet before bed. These seemingly scattered habits are part of a global phenomenon: Chinamaxxing. We trace its three phases of evolution:  Phase 1—aesthetic attraction: the visual romance of gaiwan tea sets, embroidery, silk, and the striking contrast of skyscrapers alongside ancient pavilions;  Phase 2—lifestyle imitation: the viral“From tomorrow, you‘re going to become Chinese”videos, people brewing goji tea, practicing baduanjin, and asking in comment sections,“What else do I need to know as a‘new Chinese person’?”;  Phase 3—immersive experience: over 22.9 million foreign visitors entering China, not just sightseeing but getting custom qipaos made in Shanghai, riding driverless taxis in Shenzhen, finding tailors in Chengdu‘s vegetable markets, and planting rice in rural Guilin. We explore the driving forces behind it all—a search for stability in an uncertain world, the power of tangible daily life, and the resonance of“living authenticity.”Chinamaxxing is not a fleeting internet trend; it’s the story of a generation moving from passive observers to active participants. The most powerful stories are the ones we live ourselves.

    英语新闻丨巴基斯坦大使表示美伊谈判仍有可能

    Despite the memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran expiring last week, the window for further negotiations between Washington and Tehran toward a final deal "is not closed", Pakistan's envoy to the United Nations said. 尽管美国和伊朗之间的谅解备忘录已于上周到期，但巴基斯坦驻联合国大使表示，华盛顿与德黑兰之间为进一步达成最终协议而进行谈判的窗口“并未关闭”。 Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, Pakistan's permanent representative to the UN, said that Pakistan is "still very committed" to facilitating dialogue between the two sides.巴基斯坦常驻联合国代表阿西姆·伊夫蒂哈尔·艾哈迈德表示，巴基斯坦“仍然非常致力于”促进双方对话。 "Our leadership is in touch with both sides. We are also working closely. We continue to work closely with the other friends," Ahmad told China Daily in an exclusive interview.艾哈迈德在接受《中国日报》独家专访时表示：“我们的领导层与双方保持接触。我们也在密切合作，并继续与其他友好国家密切协作。” He said the expired Islamabad MoU still provides a framework for the US and Iran "to engage and to hold further negotiations" toward "a conclusive and comprehensive settlement, or a final deal".他表示，已到期的伊斯兰堡谅解备忘录仍为美伊双方“接触并举行进一步谈判”提供了框架，以达成“最终和全面的解决方案，即最终协议”。 However, Ahmad said it remains unclear on how the conflict will eventually end and what impact it could have on the region.不过，艾哈迈德表示，目前尚不清楚这场冲突将如何结束，以及可能对该地区产生何种影响。 "I think the overall situation is still in flux," he said. He noted that countries in the region are assessing "how this will evolve in the future and what kind of steps they need to take" to ensure long-term peace and stability, amid discussions over possible changes to regional security arrangements and political alignments.“我认为总体局势仍在变化之中，”他说。他指出，该地区国家正在评估“这将如何演变，以及他们需要采取何种措施”以确保长期和平与稳定，同时也在讨论地区安全安排和政治联盟可能发生的变化。 On Tuesday, Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said that Pakistan and Iran made "significant progress" in talks seeking to end the US-Israeli operations against Iran and find a path to peace, according to a Reuters report.据路透社报道，巴基斯坦内政部长穆赫辛·纳克维周二表示，巴基斯坦与伊朗在寻求结束美以对伊军事行动并找到和平路径的会谈中取得了“重大进展”。 Talks between the two sides focused on measures to prevent further escalation, reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and an expedited termination of the conflict, Reuters reported, citing a Pakistani military statement.路透社援引巴基斯坦军方声明报道称，双方会谈重点讨论了防止局势进一步升级、重新开放霍尔木兹海峡以及加速结束冲突的措施。 Given the prolonged uncertainty resulting from the US-Iran conflict, regional security arrangements are already beginning to shift. Earlier this month, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye and Pakistan signed the Makkah Joint Defense Agreement, under which an armed attack on one member is considered an attack on all three.鉴于美伊冲突带来的长期不确定性，地区安全安排已开始发生变化。本月初，沙特阿拉伯、土耳其和巴基斯坦签署了《麦加联合防御协议》，规定对任一成员国的武装攻击将被视为对三国的攻击。 "Our objective is to ensure that we move forward in a way that will guarantee peace and stability for the longer term in the Middle East," Ahmad said.“我们的目标是确保我们以能够保障中东长期和平与稳定的方式向前推进，”艾哈迈德说。 The diplomatic efforts surrounding the US-Iran crisis have also raised questions about the UN's role, as some of the most consequential negotiations over current international conflicts are increasingly taking place outside the UN and the Security Council.围绕美伊危机的外交努力也引发了对联合国作用的质疑，因为当前一些最重要的国际冲突谈判越来越多地在联合国和安理会框架之外进行。 Ahmad said that such diplomacy does not necessarily diminish the UN's role.艾哈迈德表示，此类外交并不一定会削弱联合国的作用。 "If you look back in history, there are several situations in which the UN was not the primary actor," he said, adding that negotiations conducted elsewhere have often eventually been brought back to the UN. "It doesn't mean that the UN's role is sidelined or undermined," he said.“回顾历史，有很多情况下联合国并非主要行动方，”他说，并补充道，在其他地方进行的谈判往往最终会被带回联合国。“这并不意味着联合国的作用被边缘化或削弱，”他说。 He cited the Gaza conflict as a recent example. Negotiations took place outside the UN Security Council before being brought back to the body to give it "the stamp of authority and credibility".他以最近的加沙冲突为例。谈判在联合国安理会之外进行，然后被带回安理会，以赋予其“权威性和可信度的印记”。 The UN Security Council in November voted and adopted a resolution endorsing US President Donald Trump's peace plan and establishing the Board of Peace as a transitional administration for Gaza.去年11月，联合国安理会投票通过了一项决议，支持美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的和平计划，并设立和平委员会作为加沙的过渡管理机构。 According to Ahmad, the same principle would apply to a US-Iran agreement. Once a comprehensive and conclusive final deal is agreed, it would be brought to the UN Security Council for approval and for the establishment of a mechanism to oversee its implementation, he said.据艾哈迈德称，同样的原则也适用于美伊协议。他表示，一旦达成全面和最终的协议，将提交联合国安理会批准，并建立监督机制以确保协议执行。 "The role of the Security Council as the principal organ for maintaining international peace and security remains important," he said.“安理会作为维护国际和平与安全的主要机构，其作用仍然重要，”他说。 Long-running conflicts around the world also continue to test the UN's ability to prevent and resolve crises.世界各地的长期冲突也在持续考验联合国预防和解决危机的能力。 Ahmad said that resolving these long-running conflicts requires "a comprehensive approach from conflict prevention to resolution", including UN peacekeeping.艾哈迈德表示，解决这些长期冲突需要“从预防冲突到解决冲突的全面方法”，包括联合国维和行动。 There is a strong view among the wider UN membership that peace and security cannot be considered separately from development, he said.他表示，联合国广大会员国中有一种强烈观点认为，和平与安全不能与发展分开考虑。 For developing countries, Ahmad added, the UN should focus on prioritizing the concerns and interests of those countries.艾哈迈德补充说，对发展中国家而言，联合国应优先关注这些国家的关切和利益。 "As part of the reform and improving efficiencies, we want to ensure that the UN will continue to prioritize the concerns and the interests of developing countries," he said. "That means both peace and security, addressing the conflicts and advancing the development objectives."“作为改革和提高效率的一部分，我们希望确保联合国将继续优先考虑发展中国家的关切和利益，”他说。“这意味着和平与安全、解决冲突和推进发展目标。” conclusive /kənˈkluːsɪv/最终的 comprehensive /ˌkɒmprɪˈhensɪv/全面的 in flux /ɪn flʌks/在变化中 alignment /əˈlaɪnmənt/联盟 expedited /ˈekspədaɪtɪd/加速的 prolonged /prəˈlɒŋd/长期的 sidelined /ˈsaɪdlaɪnd/被边缘化的 undermined /ˌʌndəˈmaɪnd/被削弱 stamp of authority /stæmp əv ɔːˈθɒr

supplies at the border port area on the Chinese side, Xinhua reported.新华社报道称，此次灾害还导致中方一侧口岸区域道路、通信网络及电力供应中断。 In the wake of the disaster, China has activated a Level-II emergency response for disaster relief and a Level-II emergency response for geological disasters, the second-highest in the country's four-tier emergency response system.灾害发生后，中国启动了救灾二级应急响应和地质灾害二级应急响应，这是中国四级应急响应体系中第二高的响应级别。

    英语新闻丨美国加大对伊朗单边制裁力度

    The United States imposed a new wave of sanctions on Iran on Monday, which it said would cut off the economic lifeline that sustains the country. Experts said the move appears unlikely to force Tehran to bow down, but will further strain the global economy. 美国8月24日宣布对伊朗实施新一轮制裁，称将切断维系该国运转的经济命脉。专家表示，此举似乎不太可能迫使德黑兰屈服，反而将进一步对全球经济造成压力。 US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a news release on Monday that the new sectoral sanctions target five critical sectors: digital assets, technology, gold, aviation and shipping.美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特在8月24日发布的新闻稿中表示，新一轮行业制裁针对五个关键领域：数字资产、技术、黄金、航空和航运。 According to the department, starting on Monday, "the actions of Treasury and other agencies will tighten the noose and block every potential source of revenue that funds the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Iranian regime".据财政部称，自8月24日开始，“财政部及其他机构的行动将收紧绞索，切断所有可能为伊斯兰革命卫队和伊朗政权提供资金的收入来源”。 The department added that countries and entities continuing to do business with Iran will face heightened secondary sanctions risks.财政部还表示，继续与伊朗做生意的国家和实体将面临更高的次级制裁风险。 "Every country has a defined timeline to shut down activities we have identified. If they do not take action, we will do so unilaterally through Treasury authorities," it said. "Any entity that facilitates money laundering on behalf of Iran will be removed from the US dollar system."“每个国家都有明确的时间表来停止我们已认定的活动。如果他们不采取行动，我们将通过财政部的授权单方面采取行动，”声明称。“任何代表伊朗协助洗钱的实体将被从美元体系中移除。” China firmly opposed on Tuesday these illegal unilateral sanctions, which it said lack any basis in international law and the authorization of the United Nations Security Council.中国8月25日坚决反对这些非法单边制裁，指出这些制裁缺乏国际法依据和联合国安理会授权。 Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said at a regular news conference that China's cooperation with Iran has always been conducted within the framework of international law and should not be disrupted.外交部发言人林剑在例行记者会上表示，中国与伊朗的合作始终在国际法框架内进行，不应受到干扰。 The country will take all necessary measures to firmly safeguard its own rights and interests, he added.他表示，中方将采取一切必要措施，坚定维护自身合法权益。 The spokesman stressed that economic warfare and maximum pressure will not help resolve the issue, but only further escalate tensions, create spillover risks, disrupt the global economic and financial order, and harm the legitimate rights and interests of other countries.发言人强调，经济战和极限施压无助于解决问题，只会进一步加剧紧张局势，制造外溢风险，扰乱全球经济和金融秩序，损害其他国家的合法权益。 The top priority now is to ease the tensions and return to dialogue and negotiation as soon as possible, Lin said.林剑表示，当务之急是尽快缓和紧张局势，回到对话谈判的轨道上来。 Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said in his meeting on Monday in Tehran with Pakistan's Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir that the US must change its tone and approach in dealing with Iran, Mehr News agency reported.据梅尔通讯社报道，伊朗总统马苏德·佩泽希齐扬周一在德黑兰与巴基斯坦陆军参谋长阿西姆·穆尼尔会晤时表示，美国必须改变与伊朗打交道的方式和语气。 In a separate meeting with Munir on Monday, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said that Tehran remains determined to pursue implementation of the provisions of the US-Iran peace memorandum of understanding signed in June, Tasnim News Agency reported.据塔斯尼姆通讯社报道，伊朗议会议长穆罕默德·巴吉尔·卡利巴夫8月24日在与穆尼尔的另一次会晤中表示，德黑兰仍决心推动落实6月签署的美伊和平谅解备忘录的条款。 Washington and Tehran have been at odds since the 1979 Islamic Revolution and the hostage crisis, in which Iranian students seized the US embassy in Tehran and took US diplomats hostage. Washington has imposed a slew of sanctions on Tehran and steadily expanded them over the past four decades.自1979年伊斯兰革命和人质危机以来，华盛顿与德黑兰一直存在分歧。当时伊朗学生占领了美国驻德黑兰大使馆并扣押了美国外交官。过去四十年来，华盛顿对德黑兰实施了一系列制裁，并不断扩大范围。 Experts said the latest move is likely to add fresh layers of disruption and complexity to the global economy and diplomatic efforts, particularly as Tehran maintains close communication with regional neighbors and mediators such as Oman and Pakistan.专家表示，此举可能会给全球经济和外交努力带来更多干扰和复杂性，尤其是德黑兰与阿曼和巴基斯坦等地区邻国和调解人保持着密切沟通。 Jawaid Iqbal, vice-chancellor of Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University in India, told China Daily that the US has been blowing hot and cold over the past several weeks with regard to Iran.印度巴巴·古拉姆·沙阿·巴德沙大学副校长贾瓦伊德·伊克巴尔对《中国日报》表示，过去几周美国对伊朗的态度反复无常。 "This in itself is proof that the US is not in a position to dictate its peace terms with Iran," Iqbal said. "The latest threat of sanctions shows that Washington is trying to somehow extricate itself from a messy situation of its own making."“这本身就证明美国没有能力强迫伊朗接受其和平条件，”伊克巴尔说。“最新的制裁威胁表明，华盛顿正试图以某种方式摆脱自己制造的混乱局面。” "Iran, on the other hand, will not bow down to Washington's terms and conditions so easily. It knows that by retaliating against America's regional allies, it can submerge the entire Gulf into chaos, which will in turn create turmoil in the world economy," he added.“另一方面，伊朗不会轻易屈服于华盛顿的条件。它知道通过对美国地区盟友进行报复，可以使整个海湾地区陷入混乱，进而给世界经济带来动荡，”他补充道。 Deniz Istikbal, an assistant professor and economics researcher at Istanbul Medipol University in Turkiye, noted that the economic dimension of the Iran-US conflict is intensifying, posing challenges for the global economy.土耳其伊斯坦布尔梅迪波尔大学助理教授、经济学研究员德尼兹·伊斯提克巴尔指出，伊朗与美国冲突的经济层面正在加剧，对全球经济构成挑战。 Conducting business with Iran is becoming increasingly challenging, as Washington seeks to isolate Tehran and push the government to the negotiating table by exerting financial pressure, he said.他表示，随着华盛顿试图通过施加金融压力孤立德黑兰并将伊朗政府推向谈判桌，与伊朗开展业务正变得越来越困难。 "These developments are making the conflict increasingly costly for the global economy, while interest rates are rising and inflation is once again becoming a major concern.“这些事态发展使冲突对全球经济的代价越来越大，同时利率正在上升，通胀再次成为主要担忧。” "Ultimately, the cost of the conflict is creating additional burdens for the entire world, particularly for energy-importing countries, leading to higher taxation and increased borrowing needs," Istikbal noted.“最终，冲突的代价给整个世界带来了额外负担，特别是对能源进口国而言，导致税收增加和借贷需求上升，”伊斯提克巴尔指出。 sectoral sanctions /ˈsektərəl ˈsæŋkʃənz/行业制裁 digital assets /ˈdɪdʒɪtəl ˈæsets/数字资产 tighten the noose /ˈtaɪtən ðə nuːs/收紧绞索 unilateral sanctions /ˌjuːnɪˈlætərəl ˈsæŋkʃənz/单边制裁 spillover risks /ˈspɪləʊvə rɪsks/外溢风险 maximum pressure /ˈmæksɪməm ˈpreʃə/极限施压 at odds /æt ɒdz/存在分歧 blowing hot and cold /ˈbləʊɪŋ hɒt ənd kəʊld/反复无常 extricate /ˈekstrɪkeɪt/摆脱 submerge /səbˈmɜːdʒ/使陷入 turmoil /ˈtɜːmɔɪl/动荡

    英语新闻丨德芙就争议广告在华致歉

    Dove, a chocolate brand of United States-based Mars Inc, issued a public apology on Tuesday after a short video advertisement sparked widespread outrage in China for appearing to endorse infidelity and undermine relationship values. 美国玛氏公司旗下巧克力品牌德芙8月25日公开发布致歉声明。此前，一则短视频广告因被指纵容出轨、破坏感情价值观而在中国引发广泛愤怒。 The controversial clip, posted around this year's Qixi Festival on Aug 19 — China's equivalent of Valentine's Day — featured a protagonist saying, "I asked my boyfriend for a long time for a Dove colorful gift box, but he never bought it for me. Today, while my boyfriend is away, I shared it with my romantic interest."这则争议广告于今年8月19日七夕节（中国情人节）前后发布。视频中，主角说道：“我找男朋友要了很久的德芙缤纷礼盒，他一直没买给我。今天男朋友不在，我和我的小情人一起分享了。” In a screenshot shared online, a customer service representative told a complaining customer that the video was a "personal creation and does not represent the brand's stance", adding that "if you don't like it, you can scroll away."在网上流传的一张截图中，一位客服代表在回复投诉顾客时称该视频为“个人创作，不代表品牌立场”，并补充说“如果不喜欢，可以划走”。 In an apology posted on its official Weibo account, the company said the video was created and published by a third-party store operations team and failed to go through the company's proper content review process.该公司在官方微博账号发布的致歉声明中称，该视频由第三方店铺运营团队制作并发布，未经过公司正规的内容审核流程。 It admitted that the advertisement copy had "obvious flaws in its expression and value orientation" and was inconsistent with the brand's philosophy of "sincerity, warmth and respect".公司承认，该广告文案“在表达方式和价值导向上存在明显偏差”，与品牌“真诚、温暖、尊重”的理念不符。 It also acknowledged that the customer service team's initial response was inappropriate and said it had thoroughly reviewed the matter.公司还承认客服团队的初步回应不当，并表示已对事件进行了全面复盘。 The company said it has removed the video, strengthened training for relevant personnel, enhanced oversight of its cooperation with third-party teams, and strictly implemented its content review mechanism.公司表示，已下架该视频，加强相关人员培训，强化与第三方团队合作的监管，并严格落实内容审核机制。 outrage /ˈaʊtreɪdʒ/愤怒 endorse /ɪnˈdɔːs/支持，赞同 infidelity /ˌɪnfɪˈdeləti/出轨，不忠 undermine /ˌʌndəˈmaɪn/破坏 protagonist /prəˈtæɡənɪst/主角 romantic interest /rəʊˈmæntɪk ˈɪntrəst/情人，暧昧对象 stance /stæns/立场 scroll away /skrəʊl əˈweɪ/划走
