    英语新闻丨下半年促消费政策空间充足,需求有望进一步扩大

    China has ample room to introduce pro-consumption policies in the second half of the year, as consumer prices maintained a moderate overall increase in July, experts said. 专家表示,由于7月居民消费价格总体保持温和上涨,中国在下半年推出促消费政策仍有充足空间。 The country's consumer price index, a main gauge of inflation, rose 0.5 percent year-on-year last month, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics. The core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, increased 0.9 percent year-on-year.国家统计局发布的数据显示,作为衡量通胀主要指标的居民消费价格指数(CPI)上月同比上涨0.5%。扣除食品和能源价格的核心CPI同比上涨0.9%。 There is considerable room for pro-consumption policies in the second half of the year, and price factors in particular will not be a major constraint on the central bank's potential interest rate cuts, said Wang Qing, chief macroeconomic analyst at Orient Golden Credit Rating International.东方金诚国际信用评估有限公司首席宏观分析师王青表示,下半年促消费政策仍有较大空间,尤其是物价因素不会对央行可能的降息形成明显制约。 Wen Bin, chief economist at China Minsheng Bank, said he expects pro-consumption policies to be stepped up in the second half of the year, with summer vacations and the National Day holiday boosting prices in tourism, accommodation and catering services.中国民生银行首席经济学家温彬预计,下半年促消费政策将加大力度,暑假和国庆假期将带动旅游、住宿和餐饮服务价格上涨。 Data show that industrial consumer goods excluding energy rose 1.5 percent year-on-year in July, slowing by 0.2 percentage points from a month earlier, contributing about 0.37 percentage points to the CPI growth.数据显示,7月扣除能源的工业消费品价格同比上涨1.5%,涨幅较上月回落0.2个百分点,对CPI涨幅贡献约0.37个百分点。 Service prices increased 0.7 percent year-on-year, down by 0.1 percentage points from June, contributing about 0.36 percentage points to the CPI growth. Food prices fell 1.5 percent year-on-year, narrowing the decline by 0.1 percentage points from the previous month, dragging the CPI down by about 0.25 percentage points.服务价格同比上涨0.7%,涨幅较6月回落0.1个百分点,对CPI涨幅贡献约0.36个百分点。食品价格同比下降1.5%,降幅较上月收窄0.1个百分点,拖累CPI下降约0.25个百分点。 On a month-on-month basis, the CPI edged down 0.1 percent in July, with the decline narrowing by 0.2 percentage points from the previous month.环比来看,7月CPI小幅下降0.1%,降幅较上月收窄0.2个百分点。 NBS attributed the monthly decline to international market price fluctuations, which drove down domestic gasoline prices by 10.7 percent month-on-month, with the decline widening by 5.8 percentage points from June, pulling the CPI down by about 0.35 percentage points.国家统计局将环比下降归因于国际市场价格波动,导致国内汽油价格环比下降10.7%,降幅较6月扩大5.8个百分点,拉低CPI约0.35个百分点。 Food prices remained flat month-on-month, 0.6 percentage points below the seasonal average. Service prices, which were flat in June, turned to a 0.4 percent monthly increase, pushing up the CPI by about 0.21 percentage points.食品价格环比持平,较季节性平均水平低0.6个百分点。服务价格由6月的持平转为环比上涨0.4%,推升CPI约0.21个百分点。 The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee recently held a meeting on economic work. At the meeting, it was stressed that macro policies should be strengthened and more effective, disbursement of fiscal funds and bonds proceeds should be accelerated, and solid progress should be made in promoting large-scale equipment renewals and trade-ins of consumer goods.中共中央政治局近日召开经济工作会议。会议强调,宏观政策要更加有力有效,加快财政资金和债券资金拨付使用进度,扎实推进大规模设备更新和消费品以旧换新。 The meeting also underscored the need to effectively expand domestic demand, increase the supply of quality goods and services in response to the consumption needs of different groups, and tap the potential of services consumption.会议还强调,要有效扩大国内需求,针对不同群体消费需求增加优质商品和服务供给,挖掘服务消费潜力。 Local authorities have stepped up efforts to optimize trade-in policies. The southwestern city of Chongqing, for instance, has expanded its subsidy categories for home appliances and smart home products, covering nearly all aspects of daily life. Hunan province in Central China added 10 new categories to its trade-in program, including smart service robots, smart door locks, smart air purifiers and smart toilets.各地政府也在加大优化以旧换新政策的力度。例如,西南城市重庆已扩大家电和智能家居产品的补贴范围,几乎覆盖日常生活的方方面面。中部省份湖南在消费品以旧换新计划中新增了10个品类,包括智能服务机器人、智能门锁、智能空气净化器和智能马桶。 NBS data also show that China's producer price index, which measures costs for goods at the factory gate, went up 3.5 percent year-on-year in July.国家统计局数据还显示,衡量工业品出厂价格的工业生产者出厂价格指数(PPI)7月同比上涨3.5%。 Wen said that China's price trend is expected to improve further as domestic demand potential continues to be released and a lower comparison base comes into play.温彬表示,随着国内需求潜力持续释放以及低基数效应显现,中国物价走势有望进一步改善。 "Although the transmission of PPI recovery to CPI will entail a lag, the equipment renewal and trade-in policies will gradually lift prices of durable consumer goods such as home appliances and automobiles," Wen added.他补充说:“尽管PPI回升向CPI传导存在一定滞后,但设备更新和以旧换新政策将逐步推高家电和汽车等耐用消费品的价格。” core CPI /kɔːr siː piː aɪ/核心CPI constraint /kənˈstreɪnt/制约因素 interest rate cuts /ˈɪntrəst reɪt kʌts/降息 industrial consumer goods /ɪnˈdʌstriəl kənˈsjuːmə ɡʊdz/工业消费品 contributing /kənˈtrɪbjuːtɪŋ/贡献(拉动) dragging down /ˈdræɡɪŋ daʊn/拖累 month-on-month /mʌnθ ɒn mʌnθ/环比 edge down /edʒ daʊn/小幅下降

    英语新闻丨Zhu Rongji passes away in Beijing at age of 98

    Former premier Zhu Rongji passed away in Beijing on Wednesday. He was 98. Zhu, who had served as a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the 14th and 15th Central Committees of the Communist Party of China, died of illness, according to an official obituary. The obituary was jointly issued by the CPC Central Committee; the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature; the State Council, China's Cabinet; and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China's top political advisory body. It extolled Zhu as an excellent Party member, a time-tested and loyal communist fighter, and an outstanding proletarian revolutionist, statesman and leader of the Party and the State. Born in October 1928 in Changsha, Hunan province, Zhu joined revolutionary work in December 1948 and became a CPC member in October 1949. Between 1987 and 1991, he served successively as deputy secretary of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee, mayor of Shanghai, and secretary of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee. During his tenure, he advocated for adjusting the city's industrial structure, developing an export-oriented economy and enhancing its international competitiveness. Zhu played a crucial role in advancing the development and opening-up of Shanghai's Pudong New Area. His efforts laid a solid foundation for Shanghai's further reform, opening-up and development, the obituary said. In 1991, Zhu was appointed vice-premier of the State Council. In October 1992, he was elected a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and its standing committee, and he was responsible for the executive work of the State Council. In June 1993, he concurrently served as the governor of the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank. Zhu studied and developed approaches and measures to strengthen and improve macroeconomic regulation, making significant and effective contributions to curbing an overheated economy, reining in inflation and achieving an economic "soft landing". He pushed forward efforts to rectify and restore order in the fiscal and taxation sectors, accelerated fiscal and tax reforms and helped improve China's financial regulation system. In September 1997, Zhu was reelected a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and its standing committee. In March 1998, he was appointed premier of the State Council, and he later served as the secretary of the leading Party members group of the State Council. Facing the impact of the Asian financial crisis and the catastrophic flooding in China, Zhu focused on a shift from implementing a moderately tight fiscal and monetary policy to adopting a proactive fiscal policy and a prudent monetary policy, expanding domestic demand and deepening reforms in key areas, thereby maintaining steady and rapid economic growth. During Zhu's tenure as vice-premier and premier of the State Council, a series of policies and measures were adopted to expand opening-up, encourage exports, keep the renminbi exchange rate stable without devaluation, attract foreign investment, and firmly safeguard the prosperity and stability of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as an international financial center. He also presided over the implementation of major reforms in the social security system, healthcare system, and investment and financing system, among others, promoting the establishment of the basic framework of a socialist market economy. He oversaw the completion of the arduous negotiations for China's accession to the World Trade Organization. In March 2003, Zhu no longer served as premier of the State Council. After retiring from leadership posts, he steadfastly upheld and supported the leadership of the CPC Central Committee. He continued to care about the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and firmly supported efforts to improve conduct, promote integrity and fight corruption. Zhu's life was a revolutionary, fighting and glorious one, and one that was dedicated to wholeheartedly serving the people and the communist cause, the obituary said, adding that his death is a great loss to the Party and the State.

    英语新闻丨高市早苗的暧昧是对历史的背叛

    Eighty-one years ago, Nagasaki was erased in a blinding flash, with 74,000 victims incinerated by a weapon that should have been the last. 八十一年前,一道刺目的强光将长崎从地图上抹去,7.4万人被这枚"本应是最后一颗"的原子弹瞬间吞噬。 Three days earlier, Hiroshima had suffered the same fate.三天前,广岛已遭受了同样的命运。 During those three days, Japanese militarists kept insisting that people sacrifice themselves for the "glorious Empire of Japan".在那三天里,日本军国主义者仍在一味要求民众为所谓"光荣的大日本帝国"牺牲性命。 The destruction of Nagasaki finally shattered that dangerous faith and forced Japan's unconditional surrender to the Allied Powers six days later.长崎的毁灭最终击碎了这一危险信念,六天后,日本被迫向同盟国无条件投降。 Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi made it clear at the Hiroshima memorial ceremony on Thursday and again at the Nagasaki memorial ceremony on Sunday that the country's neo-militarists have learned nothing from the horrors of the bombings.日本首相高市早苗8月6日在广岛悼念仪式上、8月9日在长崎悼念仪式上的表现均已清楚表明,该国新军国主义势力并未从原爆的惨痛历史中汲取任何教训。 At Nagasaki's Peace Park, the city's mayor, Shiro Suzuki, called nuclear weapons an "absolute evil".在长崎和平公园,该市市长铃木史朗将核武器称为"绝对的邪恶"。 Yet, standing just a few feet away, Takaichi offered only deliberate ambiguity over whether her government will abide by the Three Non-Nuclear Principles.然而,站在仅几步之遥的高市,对其政府是否将恪守"无核三原则"却故意含糊其辞。 Japan already operates under the protection of the United States' nuclear umbrella.日本本已处于美国核保护伞的庇护之下。 To invoke a purported "external threat" as a rationale for acquiring an independent nuclear deterrent is hardly the "realistic and pragmatic approach" Takaichi describes — rather, it lays bare the unmistakable ambitions of the country's neo-militarist faction.以所谓"外部威胁"为借口谋求独立核威慑力量,绝非高市所标榜的"现实而务实的做法",恰恰相反,这暴露出该国新军国主义势力毫不掩饰的野心。 Takaichi will not say she intends to revise the principles, but neither will she promise to preserve them.高市既不明确表示要修改这些原则,也不承诺将予以坚守。 She speaks only of current policy, deliberately leaving the future open to interpretation.她只谈及当下的政策,却故意为未来留下模糊的解释空间。 This is the slow-motion dismantling of a commitment that has defined postwar Japan.这是在以慢镜头般的方式,逐步瓦解这一定义了战后日本的庄严承诺。 The hypocrisy is staggering.这种虚伪令人瞠目。 Here is a prime minister attending the memorials for victims of nuclear hellfire, surrounded by aging hibakusha, victims of atomic destruction — whose average age is over 86 — yet she will not reaffirm the principles these survivors have defended for decades.这位首相出席了悼念核爆炼狱死难者的仪式,身边环绕着平均年龄已超过86岁、饱经原子弹摧残的年迈"被爆者",但她却不肯重申这些幸存者数十年来所捍卫的原则。 When the hibakusha protest her stance on "nuclear sharing" with the US, and when a record 128 local assemblies urge her government to uphold the three principles, her response is little more than a verbal shrug.当"被爆者"们抗议她在对美"核共享"问题上的立场,当创纪录的128个地方议会敦促其政府恪守"无核三原则"时,她的回应也不过是敷衍搪塞、不以为意。 No wonder Moscow called Japan's nuclear memorial act hypocritical — Takaichi equivocates on the non-nuclear principles while refusing to even ask why the bombs fell on Japan.难怪莫斯科方面称日本的核纪念活动充满虚伪——高市在"无核原则"问题上闪烁其词,却连原子弹为何会落在日本这一根本问题都不愿追问。 The "realism" that Takaichi invokes is increasingly aligned with the right-wing's neo-militarist ambitions.高市所标榜的"现实主义",正日益与右翼势力的新军国主义野心趋于一致。 For Japan's remilitarization, "reality" means expanding military capabilities and deepening reliance on the alliance with the US.对日本的重新军事化而言,所谓"现实",意味着扩充军事能力、深化对美同盟的依赖。 "Pragmatism" means leveraging Washington's desire for a more heavily armed Japan and stronger Asia-Pacific ally to create political space for nuclear ambiguity.所谓"务实",则意味着利用华盛顿希望日本加强武装、成为更强大亚太盟友的意愿,为核问题上的模糊立场争取政治空间。 Should we call this the Atomic Stockholm Syndrome?我们是否应将此称为"原子弹斯德哥尔摩综合征"? Japan, the only country ever atom-bombed, now flirts with nuclear weapons under "extended deterrence".作为全球唯一遭受过原子弹轰炸的国家,日本如今却在"延伸威慑"的名义下与核武器眉来眼去。 The US umbrella is a crutch, and Takaichi wants Japan to lean on it rather than lean on peace.美国的核保护伞是一根拐杖,而高市希望日本依赖的是这根拐杖,而非依靠和平本身。 Tokyo refuses to sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, calling it "ineffective" to address its "security concerns".东京拒绝签署《禁止核武器条约》,声称该条约"无法有效"回应其所谓"安全关切"。 Japan is in the unique position to be the moral voice for the abolition of nuclear weapons; but obligation requires clarity of conviction.日本本处于一个独特的位置,能够成为呼吁废除核武器的道义之声;但要担此责任,首先需要立场坚定、旗帜鲜明。 Takaichi has offered nothing but ambiguity.而高市所给出的,唯有含糊其辞。 She does not need to formally rewrite the three principles.她并不需要正式改写"无核三原则"。 They can be diluted through reinterpretation, administrative decisions and incremental policy changes.只需通过重新解释、行政决定以及渐进式的政策调整,这些原则便可被逐步稀释、掏空。 If Washington looks the other way because it wants a more militarized Japan as part of its regional strategy, alliance politics could easily overwhelm international objections.若华盛顿出于将一个更加军事化的日本纳入其地区战略的考量而对此视而不见,那么同盟政治便极有可能轻易压倒国际社会的反对声音。 What is at stake, therefore, is more than Japan's military posture.因此,这场博弈所关乎的,远不止日本的军事姿态。 It is Japan's historical identity and regional stability.更关乎日本的历史身份认同,以及地区的和平与稳定。 Eighty-one years after Fat Man fell on Nagasaki, Takaichi stood in Peace Park and blurred the edges of a promise generations of Japanese have held sacred."胖子"原子弹投下长崎八十一年后,高市站在和平公园里,却让这份被一代代日本人奉若神圣的承诺,边界变得模糊不清。 The city's mayor was right: Nuclear deterrence does not eliminate the risk of catastrophe; it institutionalizes it.长崎市长所言不虚:核威慑并不能消除灾难的风险,它只是将这种风险制度化了。 The Takaichi government is intent on "honoring" the dead by placing their descendants under the shadow of the same weapons that destroyed them.高市政府所谓的"告慰"逝者,实则是让逝者的后代继续笼罩在当年那种毁灭性武器的阴影之下。 When the last hibakusha is gone, what will remain of their plea?当最后一位"被爆者"离世,他们的呼声还将留下什么? A prime minister who could not bring herself to unequivocally declare: "I promise to uphold the Three Non-Nuclear Principles".恐怕只剩下一位始终无法斩钉截铁地宣告"我承诺恪守无核三原则"的首相。 That is not realism.这不是什么现实主义。 It is a betrayal of history.这是对历史的背叛。 incinerate /ɪnˈsɪnəreɪt/ v.焚烧殆尽,烧成灰烬 militarist /ˈmɪlɪtərɪst/ n.军国主义者 unconditional surrender /ˌʌnkənˈdɪʃənəl səˈrendər/ n.无条件投降 memorial ceremony /məˈmɔːriəlˈserəmoʊni/ n.悼念仪式,纪念仪式 neo-militarist /ˌniːoʊˈmɪlɪtərɪst/ n.新军国主义者 absolute evil /ˈæbsəluːtˈiːvəl/ n.绝对的邪恶 deliberate ambiguity /dɪˈlɪbərətˌæmbɪˈɡjuːəti/ n.刻意的含糊其辞 nuclear deterrent /ˈnuːkliər dɪˈtɜːrənt/ n.核威慑(力量) neo-militarist faction /ˌniːoʊˈmɪlɪtərɪstˈfækʃən/ n.新军国主义派系

    英语新闻丨宇树科技上市聚焦未来产业新赛道

    Chinese humanoid robot maker Unitree Robotics opened subscriptions for its initial public offering on the Shanghai Stock Exchange's sci-tech innovation board, or STAR Market, on Monday, as the market witnessed a broader economic shift with future industries expected to power the country's next wave of economic growth. 8月10日中国人形机器人制造商宇树科技在上海证券交易所科创板启动新股认购,此举正值中国经济迎来更广泛的转型,未来产业有望成为驱动国家新一轮经济增长的重要引擎。 President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said in an article published in June in the Qiushi Journal, a flagship magazine of the CPC Central Committee, that cultivating and developing future industries are of great significance for seizing the development initiative, developing new quality productive forces and improving people's quality of life.中共中央总书记、国家主席习近平在中共中央机关刊物《求是》杂志6月刊发的文章中指出,培育和发展未来产业,对于抢占发展主动权、发展新质生产力、提高人民生活品质具有重大意义。 Efforts should be made to vigorously foster first-class scientific, technological and high-tech enterprises that excel in core technologies and possess strong innovation capacities, Xi said.习近平指出,要大力培育掌握核心技术、创新能力强的一流科技型高新技术企业。 For decades, China's economic expansion was powered largely by traditional industries, infrastructure investment and manufacturing scale.数十年来,中国经济增长主要依靠传统产业、基础设施投资和制造业规模驱动。 But the next wave of growth is increasingly expected to come from future industries, including embodied intelligence, future energy, quantum technology, brain-computer interfaces and 6G, which have been highlighted as key areas in China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30).但下一轮增长动能正日益转向未来产业,包括具身智能、未来能源、量子科技、脑机接口和6G等,这些领域已被列为"十五五"规划(2026年至2030年)的重点方向。 Since leading semiconductor firm ChangXin Memory Technologies debuted on the STAR Market in late July, a number of companies including artificial intelligence chip developer Enflame Technology, semiconductor manufacturer Can-Semi Technology, commercial rocket maker LandSpace and AI chip company Kunlunxin have been moving toward potential listings.自领先半导体企业长鑫存储7月下旬在科创板上市以来,人工智能芯片研发商燧原科技、半导体制造商积塔半导体、商业火箭企业蓝箭航天以及人工智能芯片企业昆仑芯等多家企业也在积极推进上市进程。 Behind the wave of listings is not just a reshuffle of capital market preferences, but a transformation in the sources of future economic growth.这波上市潮的背后,不仅是资本市场偏好的重新洗牌,更是未来经济增长动能来源的深刻转变。 Hu Yongjun, secretary-general of future industries and platform economy research center under the State Information Center, said: "Developing future industries is a key move in driving industrial transformation and upgrade. Technologies that appear to be in an exploratory stage today could become engines of economic growth over the next decade or more."国家信息中心未来产业与平台经济研究中心秘书长胡拥军表示:"发展未来产业是推动产业转型升级的关键举措。今天看似仍处于探索阶段的技术,未来十年乃至更长时间里可能成为经济增长的引擎。" He said that future industries will fuel China's economic growth through new trillion-yuan-level industries that will come about as emerging technologies transform into commercial applications, and traditional industries are upgraded by integrating technologies such as AI, digitalization and low-carbon solutions.他表示,随着新兴技术加快向商业化应用转化,以及人工智能、数字化、低碳等技术与传统产业深度融合、推动其转型升级,未来产业将通过催生新的万亿级产业,为中国经济增长注入新动能。 "More importantly, future industries are not simply about developing several new products. They could accelerate upgrades across an entire industrial chain, from core components to end-user applications," he said.他说:"更重要的是,未来产业并非仅仅是研发几款新产品,而是能够带动从核心零部件到终端应用的整条产业链加速升级。" A humanoid robot illustrates this ecosystem effect.一台人形机器人便是这种生态带动效应的生动例证 Behind a single robot are dozens of interconnected sectors, including AI models, chips, sensors, precision reducers, motors, batteries, new materials, industrial software and intelligent manufacturing equipment.一台机器人的背后,牵动着数十个相互关联的产业领域,涵盖人工智能大模型、芯片、传感器、精密减速器、电机、电池、新材料、工业软件以及智能制造装备等。 China's electric vehicle industry offers a similar example.中国电动汽车产业也提供了类似的例证。 Over the past decade, the rise of new energy vehicles has reshaped the global auto industry while driving rapid growth in power batteries, energy storage materials, intelligent driving technologies and automotive chips.过去十年间,新能源汽车的崛起重塑了全球汽车产业格局,同时带动动力电池、储能材料、智能驾驶技术和车规级芯片实现快速增长。 In addition, the Unitree IPO and other upcoming listings represent a broader reallocation of capital toward technologies that may require years of investment before generating large-scale commercial returns.此外,宇树科技上市及其他即将登陆资本市场的企业,也反映出资本正更广泛地流向那些可能需要多年投入才能实现规模化商业回报的技术领域。 Xi also stressed efforts to improve fiscal and taxation policies, vigorously develop technology finance, and optimize government procurement and talent cultivation, introduction and utilization to foster a robust environment that encourages innovation.习近平还强调,要完善财税政策,大力发展科技金融,优化政府采购,做好人才培养、引进和使用工作,营造鼓励创新的良好环境。 Tian Xuan, dean of Peking University's Guanghua School of Management, said: "China is transiting from factor-driven growth toward innovation-driven development. Capital is moving beyond its traditional role of financing capacity expansion in mature industries and increasingly taking on the earlier-stage, longer-term uncertainty involved in building future industries."北京大学光华管理学院院长田轩表示:"中国正从要素驱动型增长向创新驱动型发展转变。资本正超越以往为成熟产业产能扩张融资的传统角色,日益承担起培育未来产业过程中早期、长周期不确定性的风险。" As of June 2026, the STAR Market had attracted 609 hard technology companies, with total funds raised through IPOs and refinancing exceeding 1.37 trillion yuan ($203 billion).截至2026年6月,科创板已吸引609家硬科技企业上市,通过首次公开募股及再融资累计筹资超过1.37万亿元人民币(约合2030亿美元)。 More than 40 listed companies on the market have also entered cutting-edge fields such as quantum technology, 6G and biomanufacturing.科创板上市公司中,已有40余家企业布局量子科技、6G和生物制造等前沿领域。 The China Securities Regulatory Commission has also introduced a regular "green channel" mechanism for IPO financing and mergers and acquisitions involving technology companies in strategically important core technology areas.中国证券监督管理委员会还针对掌握战略性核心技术的科技企业,建立了常态化的首次公开募股融资及并购重组"绿色通道"机制。 For instance, Unitree Robotics moved rapidly through the listing process, taking less than four months to go from the application acceptance stage to approval, marking the fastest review under the STAR Market's preliminary review mechanism since its implementation.以宇树科技为例,其上市进程推进迅速,从申报受理到审核通过历时不足四个月,创下科创板预先审阅机制实施以来的最快审核纪录。 "Amid the rapid development of AI, rising geopolitical tensions and a growing emphasis on strategic security, China needs to build a financial system better aligned with the development of new quality productive forces," Tian said.田轩表示:"在人工智能快速发展、地缘政治紧张局势加剧、战略安全日益受到重视的背景下,中国需要构建一个与新质生产力发展更加适配的金融体系。" "This requires expanding the supply of patient capital, improving market structures, enhancing policy predictability and reducing resource misallocation, thereby providing sustained and solid financial support for innovation," he added.他补充说:"这需要扩大耐心资本供给,完善市场结构,增强政策可预期性,减少资源错配,从而为创新提供持续而坚实的金融支撑。" quantum technology /ˈkwɒntəm tekˈnɒlədʒi/ n.量子科技 brain-computer interface /breɪn kəmˈpjuːtər ˈɪntərfeɪs/ n.脑机接口 semiconductor /ˌsemikənˈdʌktər/ n.半导体 reshuffle /riːˈʃʌfəl/ n./v.重新洗牌,调整 secretary-general /ˈsekrətəri ˈdʒenərəl/ n.秘书长 trillion-yuan-level /ˈtrɪljən juˈɑːn ˈlevəl/ adj.万亿元级的 digitalization /ˌdɪdʒɪtəlaɪˈzeɪʃən/ n.数字化 low-carbon /loʊ ˈkɑːrbən/ adj.低碳的 industrial chain /

    英语新闻丨台风减弱 强降雨威胁持续

    Typhoon Dolphin has weakened to a tropical storm after making two landfalls in eastern China's Zhejiang province, but its moisture‑rich circulation is continuing to move northwestward, threatening to unleash potentially extreme rainfall across parts of northern China, meteorologists said on Monday.周一,气象部门表示,台风白海豚在中国东部浙江省两次登陆后已减弱为热带风暴,但其水汽充沛的环流仍在向西北方向移动,或将给中国北方部分地区带来极端强降雨天眼新闻。 Dolphin, the 13th typhoon of the year, made two landfalls in Zhejiang on Sunday evening and weakened as it moved inland. But unlike many tropical cyclones that rapidly dissipate after landfall, its extensive cloud system and abundant moisture have allowed its remnants to persist and move northward and westward, said Zhang Fanghua, chief forecaster at the National Meteorological Center.国家气象中心首席预报员张芳华表示,今年第 13 号台风白海豚于周日晚间在浙江两次登陆,深入内陆后强度减弱。但和许多登陆后迅速消散的热带气旋不同,该台风庞大的云系与充沛水汽使其残余环流得以维持,并向西北方向移动。 "The residual circulation could bring persistent and extreme rainfall to parts of eastern and northern China," Zhang said.张芳华称:“残余环流可能给我国东部、北方部分地区带来持续性极端强降雨。” Dolphin's movement is forecast to significantly slow after Tuesday, and around Wednesday its remnants could stall near the border area of Hubei, Henan and Anhui provinces.预报显示,白海豚周二之后移动速度将大幅放缓,其残余环流或将在周三前后停滞于湖北、河南、安徽三省交界一带。 The residual vortex is expected to interact with an upper‑level trough in the westerlies and a cold‑air system, potentially triggering a new round of widespread and heavy rainfall, Zhang added.张芳华补充道,残余涡旋将与西风带高空槽以及冷空气系统相互作用,有可能引发新一轮大范围强降雨。 The heavy rain will cover much of Shanghai as well as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Henan and Shandong provinces through Tuesday.截至周二,强降雨将波及上海大部以及浙江、江苏、安徽、湖北、河南、山东多地。 As the rain belt moves northward on Tuesday and Wednesday, some locations in Henan, Hebei, and Shanxi could receive 400 to 600 millimeters of rain, with the possibility of exceptionally heavy downpours.随着雨带于周二、周三北移,河南、河北、山西部分地区累计降雨量可达 400‑600 毫米,或将出现特大暴雨。 Meteorologists warned that the threat will also extend into the Beijing‑Tianjin‑Hebei region. 气象专家警示,降雨威胁还将波及京津冀地区。 Zhai Liang, chief forecaster at the Beijing Meteorological Service, said that warm and humid air from Dolphin's outer circulation, combined with cold air, is expected to bring heavy rain to the region from Tuesday through Thursday.北京市气象局首席预报员翟亮表示,台风白海豚外围环流输送的暖湿气流叠加冷空气,预计将于周二至周四给京津冀带来强降雨。 "Beijing is expected to receive the strongest rainfall from early Wednesday to Wednesday night," Zhai said, adding that red alerts for heavy rain have been issued in districts such as Fangshan, Daxing, Tongzhou and Mentougou.翟亮说:“北京最强降雨时段预计为周三凌晨至周三夜间。” 他介绍,房山、大兴、通州、门头沟等区已发布暴雨红色预警。 On Monday, the National Meteorological Center continued to issue an orange alert for heavy rain, the second‑highest warning level. Isolated areas in northern Hubei could receive 250 to 270 mm during the 24‑hour period between Monday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon.国家气象中心周一继续发布暴雨橙色预警,这是第二高级别的预警。周一下午至周二下午的 24 小时内,湖北北部局地降雨量可达 250‑270 毫米。 The Ministry of Emergency Management has activated a Level IV flood‑control emergency response in Hebei, Henan, Hubei and Shandong amid rising risks of flooding and geological disasters over the next three days. China has a four‑tier emergency response system for flood control, with Level I being the most severe.未来三天洪涝、地质灾害风险升高,应急管理部针对河北、河南、湖北、山东启动防汛四级应急响应。我国防汛应急响应分为四级,一级为最高级别。 Local governments are being urged to closely monitor updated weather forecasts and strengthen preparations for flooding, landslides, mudslides and urban waterlogging, particularly in mountainous areas and along rivers.相关方面督促地方政府密切跟踪气象预报更新,做好洪涝、山体滑坡、泥石流、城市内涝防范工作,山区、沿河区域需重点防范。 The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on Monday renewed a warning over the risk of farmland waterlogging. From Monday night through Saturday, parts of Henan could see exceptionally heavy rain, with a very high risk of farmland waterlogging. The prolonged rainfall could leave farmland saturated and affect crop growth.农业农村部周一再次发布农田渍涝风险预警。周一夜间至周六,河南部分地区将遭遇特大暴雨,农田渍涝风险极高。持续降雨会造成农田土壤过湿饱和,影响作物生长。 Farmers are advised to clear drainage channels, as well as prepare pumps and other equipment and supplies in advance. After the rain, farmers should promptly drain excess water, improve soil aeration and moisture conditions, and use pesticides and fertilizers to help crops recover and resume their growth.建议农户疏通排水渠道,提前备好水泵等物资设备。降雨过后,农户应及时排涝,改善土壤通气与墒情,施用农药化肥助力作物恢复生长。 After Thursday, the rainfall pattern is expected to shift as the residual vortex gradually moves eastward and southward, forecasters said. If the residual vortex redevelops around Aug 16, it could bring another round of heavy rainfall to northeastern China, they added.预报人员表示,周四以后,随着残余涡旋逐步向东南移动,降雨格局将发生转变。预报补充,若该残余涡旋在 8 月 16 日前后再度发展,或将给我国东北地区带来新一轮强降雨。 typhoon /taɪˈfuːn/n. 台风remnant /ˈremnənt/n. 残余;剩余部分waterlogging /ˈwɔːtəlɒɡɪŋ/n. 涝灾;积水vortex /ˈvɔːteks/n. 涡旋;漩涡
