    英语新闻丨习近平提出五项举措，助力金砖合作提质增效

    President Xi Jinping unveiled five initiatives — covering the areas of artificial intelligence, trade and investment facilitation, digital industry, smart manufacturing, and talent development — to deepen practical cooperation among BRICS countries and bolster the collective strength of the Global South.Addressing the second session of the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi as he wrapped up his two-day participation in the gathering on Sunday, Xi stressed that a stronger foundation for cooperation was essential for the expanded grouping to achieve greater progress.He urged BRICS countries to leverage their close ties with emerging markets and Global South countries, pursuing open cooperation for mutual benefit while safeguarding stable and smooth industrial and supply chains.They should foster a larger integrated market, build incubators for innovation, upgrade traditional industries, develop emerging industries and deploy future industries, Xi added.China will be a pioneer in establishing a BRICS AI open source community, and it will support cooperation in developing and applying large language models, hold specialized AI seminars and training courses, and build an open AI ecosystem, Xi said.He proposed a BRICS special economic zone partnership under which countries could set up an intelligent portal, coordinate policies and build a new frontier for open development. China will also host the BRICS Forum on Trade in Services next year to cultivate new drivers of economic and trade cooperation.Furthermore, China will push for the establishment of a BRICS digital ecosystem cloud platform and conduct digital skills training, technological exchanges and industrial alignment to jointly advance the digital economy, Xi said.He expressed the country's readiness to assist fellow BRICS countries in building smart factories and developing standards and norms, jointly promoting manufacturing transformation and upgrading.Xi also proposed a BRICS engineer cultivation alliance for the joint development of engineers and mutual recognition of competency standards. China will launch a BRICS youth exchange program for scientific and technological innovation to cultivate more high-caliber talent.Noting that this year marks the launch of China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), Xi said China will continue to pursue high-quality development, expand high-standard opening-up, implement the Global Development Initiative and advance high-quality Belt and Road cooperation to share opportunities and prosper together with other countries.Liu Ying, a researcher at the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China, said that as BRICS marks its 20th anniversary and moves toward its next "golden decade", China's five initiatives respond to the shared development needs of BRICS and the wider Global South.China has offered not just directions for cooperation, but also concrete platforms and mechanisms to implement it, she said, helping BRICS countries expand their international voice while strengthening their own development foundations.Openness and inclusiveness in AI especially matter, Liu said, as open-source cooperation, large-model development and talent training can help Global South countries access and apply AI as a foundational resource for national development — an effort that China's strengths in technology, industry and application can help make possible.China is practicing "developmental multilateralism" — combining capacity building with real development outcomes to help the Global South participate more fully in the new wave of technological and industrial change, and ultimately pushing the global system toward a fairer, more inclusive and balanced order, Liu added.As the Global South, with its collective rise, has become a key driver of world multipolarity, Xi said that to bring stability to the world and make it a better place, BRICS countries must seize the historical initiative, rally the Global South, be an active, stabilizing and positive force in international affairs, and advance the well-being of all humanity.He stressed that Global South countries should jointly defend the rule of law in international affairs, safeguarding sovereign equality, noninterference in internal affairs and the peaceful settlement of disputes, to ensure that international law and international rules are applied to all, free from double standards.Xi emphasized the need to uphold multilateralism and the authority and role of the United Nations, and to support multilateral institutions in advancing reform and increasing efficiency. World Trade Organization reform should proceed in the right direction, while the international financial architecture must be reformed and improved to increase developing countries' representation and voice, he added.Global South countries should remain committed to a people-centered development philosophy and strive to deliver on the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, he said.Addressing shared challenges, Xi said that Global South countries should work together to strengthen security governance, tackle traditional and nontraditional threats, and improve global climate governance.BRICS draws its growing influence from an inclusive approach that respects different development paths and promotes shared economic gains, said Lan Qingxin, director of the BRICS Research Center at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing.

    英语新闻丨金砖国家在制定人工智能规则方面发挥关键作用

    The BRICS is emerging as a significant force in development and governance of artificial intelligence globally, experts say, highlighting its crucial role in championing the Global South's interests and bridging the digital divide.BRICS has evolved into a crucial mechanism for Global South nations to pursue shared development. With the rise of AI, the bloc has elevated technology governance as a key pillar of its agenda.BRICS members and the broader Global South regard AI as both an unprecedented opportunity and a strategic imperative. Jiang Tianjiao, a research fellow at the Center for Global AI Innovative Governance in Shanghai, said that these countries see developing AI as a way of increasing productivity, improving public services and narrowing the digital divide, but also as an essential path to reduce dependence on developed countries for technology, computing power and rules.A landmark move came at last year's BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the bloc issued its first leadership-level consensus document on global AI governance, The BRICS Leaders' Statement on the Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence. It underscored digital sovereignty and the right to development as central to global AI governance.The BRICS consensus serves as a crucial corrective to the global AI governance system, experts said.Jiang Qingquan, deputy director of the BRICS Economic Research Center at Xiamen University of Technology, said global AI governance discussions have often fixated on security risks, overlooking the more fundamental issue of the development gap."By enshrining the right to development as a governance principle, the BRICS statement compels the international community to address the crucial question: how to ensure all countries can access and use AI before discussing its regulation."BRICS places the right to development at the core of AI governance. Giving priority to capacity building for developing countries better aligns with the practical needs of Global South nations."He depicted the grouping's role as a "collective spokesperson for Global South AI governance".Despite varying strengths in AI technology, computing infrastructure and energy support, experts see these differences as a unique advantage for BRICS multilateral AI collaboration, potentially playing a significant role in bridging the global digital divide.Jiang Tianjiao underscored the complementary strengths among BRICS members in creating a "resources-technology-scenario energy" synergy. "China has a complete AI industrial chain and open-source model capabilities; Russia and India excel in algorithms and talent; Brazil, Indonesia and South Africa have abundant application scenarios in different sectors; and countries such as China and Brazil offer clean energy for high-energy-consuming computing power."This complementarity is translating into concrete mechanisms. In Bengaluru, India, in July, BRICS member nations signed an agreement on collaboration in standardization, the bloc's first collective foray into setting international AI standards.This initiative enables BRICS members to jointly shape international norms within standard-setting bodies, thereby amplifying the voice of emerging economies in frontier technologies governance, Jiang Qingquan said.BRICS is translating consensus into actionable cooperation mechanisms, with China playing a key role in driving this practical implementation, experts said.Addressing the 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia, in 2024, President Xi Jinping announced the establishment of the China-BRICS Artificial Intelligence Development and Cooperation Center, expressing China's readiness to deepen collaboration on innovation with all BRICS countries to unleash the dividends of AI development."The center's establishment is about converting this vision into implementable cooperation mechanisms, ensuring BRICS countries become cocreators of innovation in the AI era," said Xu Shan, an expert at the China-BRICS Artificial Intelligence Development and Cooperation Center.The center has facilitated 55 supply-demand matching events for AI companies, promoting plans for international collaboration, she said. Its training programs have reached 105 senior officials in 58 countries, extending the benefits of BRICS collaboration to the wider Global South, she said.For the public at large, Xu said, AI cooperation can translate into tangible improvements: farmers in remote areas using AI-powered pest detection, grassroots hospitals drawing on AI-assisted diagnoses to help alleviate doctor shortages, and speakers of minority languages accessing intelligent services in their native tongues."The ultimate test of AI collaboration is whether people in BRICS and Global South countries can genuinely benefit from this technological revolution," Xu said. "That is the fundamental purpose of everything the center does."

    褪去形式滤镜：重新定义教师节的真正价值

    This episode explores the changing dynamics of Teacher’s Day as it marks its 42nd anniversary on September 10, 2026.  What was once a simple exchange of appreciation has transformed into a high-stakes source of social anxiety for parents, students, and educators alike. We trace the history of this tradition across generations—from the analog era of hand-drawn paper cards built on physical effort to the digital age of video montages and social media tributes.  We examine the psychological pressure of public performative gift-giving, the stark power dynamics faced by graduate students, and the quiet parallel anxiety experienced by teachers. The episode also looks at recent Ministry of Education mandates aimed at curbing empty formalism, ultimately returning to the core question: what is the true, enduring currency of the teaching profession?

    英语新闻丨中美就关税互减框架安排展开磋商

    China and the United States are in consultations on a framework arrangement for reciprocal tariff reductions covering products worth $30 billion from each side, with both countries working to bring the tariff cuts into effect at an early date, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.商务部周四表示，中美双方正在磋商一项相互减让关税的框架安排，涉及双方各 300 亿美元规模的产品，两国正努力推动关税减免尽早落地。 Speaking at a weekly news conference in Beijing, Huang Ling, the ministry's spokeswoman, said that Chinese and US economic and trade teams are earnestly implementing the consensus reached by the two heads of state at their meeting in May in Beijing.商务部发言人黄玲在北京举行的例行新闻发布会上表示，中美经贸团队正在认真落实两国元首 5 月在北京会晤达成的共识。 Experts said that the proposed tariff reductions are expected to cover products of mutual interest, with agricultural goods and industrial products among those under consideration.专家表示，拟议中的关税减免预计将覆盖双方共同关注的产品，农产品和工业产品都在考虑范围内。 Continued dialogue and consultation can help manage differences, reduce trade frictions and work toward mutually beneficial outcomes, they said.专家称，持续对话磋商有助于管控分歧、减少贸易摩擦，争取实现互利共赢的结果。 Fu Suixin, an associate researcher at the Institute of American Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that the recent interactions between China and the US, along with the establishment of bilateral trade and investment councils, have been significant in helping to stabilize relations and maintain channels of communication.中国社会科学院美国研究所副研究员表示，中美近期的互动，以及双边贸易投资委员会的设立，对稳定两国关系、保持沟通渠道畅通具有重要意义。 "This does not mean the two sides have resolved their deep-seated differences over trade, technology and other issues," said Fu.“这并不意味着双方已经解决了在贸易、技术等领域根深蒂固的分歧，” 傅说。 "Rather, these developments have reaffirmed the importance of maintaining high-level communication, managing differences and working toward a relationship characterized by constructive strategic stability."“相反，这些进展再次印证，保持高层沟通、管控分歧、构建具有建设性战略稳定的双边关系十分重要。” Da Wei, a professor of international relations at Tsinghua University in Beijing, shared a similar outlook. "Through dialogue, China and the US can work toward a more sustainable balance in their economic relationship by developing a clearer understanding of the scope and boundaries of bilateral economic ties," he said.清华大学国际关系教授达巍持相近看法。他表示：“通过对话，中美可以更加清晰地把握双边经贸关系的范围与边界，推动两国经贸关系实现更可持续的平衡。” This would involve identifying areas where closer economic ties remain mutually beneficial, areas where some separation may be necessary, and a level of economic engagement that is acceptable to both sides, said Da.达巍称，这其中包括界定哪些领域深化经贸联系仍可实现互利、哪些领域需要适度脱钩，以及找到双方都能接受的经贸交往水平。 Despite persistent differences, bilateral trade has remained resilient. China's trade with the US reached 2.76 trillion yuan ($412 billion) in the first eight months of this year, up 1.3 percent year-on-year, according to data from the General Administration of Customs.尽管分歧依然存在，双边贸易仍展现韧性。海关总署数据显示，今年前 8 个月，中美贸易额达 2.76 万亿元人民币（合 4120 亿美元），同比增长 1.3%。 In another development, France has been urged to immediately stop using its anti-ultrafast fashion law to undermine the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies.另据消息，中方敦促法国立即停止利用其反超快时尚相关法律损害中国企业合法权益。 In response to remarks by French officials that the law is neither discriminatory nor targeted and is intended to protect the environment and consumers, Huang, the spokeswoman, said that China remains seriously concerned about the legislation.针对法国官员称该法律不具歧视性、不针对特定对象，旨在保护环境与消费者的表态，发言人黄玲表示，中方对这项立法高度关切。 She said that China will closely follow further developments and take necessary measures to safeguard Chinese companies' legitimate rights and interests.她说，中方将密切关注事态后续发展，并采取必要措施维护中国企业的合法权益。 The French law, under the pretext of setting so-called standards for "environmental protection" and "sustainability", applies double standards by imposing discriminatory restrictions on Chinese cross-border e-commerce platforms through legislation, which severely distorts fair competition, according to information released by the Ministry of Commerce.商务部相关信息显示，法国这项法律以制定所谓 “环保”“可持续发展” 标准为借口，通过立法对中国跨境电商平台实施歧视性限制，奉行双重标准，严重破坏公平竞争。 China opposes the abuse of restrictive economic and trade measures and urges France to take China's concerns seriously, stop using the legislation to undermine Chinese companies' legitimate rights and interests, and address economic and trade differences through dialogue on an equal footing, Huang added.黄玲补充道，中方反对滥用限制性经贸措施，敦促法方重视中方关切，停止借该法律损害中国企业合法权益，通过平等对话解决经贸分歧。 In response to another question about the ministry's recent meetings with several French companies operating in China, Huang said public reports show that some French companies had received subsidies from the European Union and its member states, which may have been passed on to some extent to their entities in China.在被问及商务部近期与多家在华法国企业会谈一事时，黄玲表示，公开报道显示，部分法国企业获得欧盟及其成员国补贴，相关补贴可能在一定程度上传导至其在华机构。 To assess the potential impact of such subsidies, the ministry has sought information from the companies concerned in accordance with the law and asked them to provide explanations, she said.她表示，为评估此类补贴带来的潜在影响，商务部已依法向相关企业调取信息，要求其作出说明。 reciprocal /rɪˈsɪprəkl/adj. 相互的；互惠的tariff /ˈtærɪf/n. 关税resilient /rɪˈzɪliənt/adj. 有韧性的discriminatory /dɪˈskrɪmɪnətəri/adj. 歧视性的今天 16:55

    英语新闻丨Xi to attend BRICS summit in New Delhi

    President Xi Jinping will attend the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi from Saturday to Sunday at the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson announced on Thursday.The meeting is widely expected to inject fresh momentum into BRICS cooperation, help BRICS countries and the wider Global South expand the pie of win-win cooperation, and reaffirm their commitment to multilateralism, experts said.India has adopted "Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability" as the theme of its 2026 BRICS presidency, with a stated emphasis on a people-centric approach and stronger cooperation among countries of the Global South.Initially comprising Brazil, Russia, India and China, the grouping later welcomed South Africa and has since expanded further to 11 members. According to figures published on India's official BRICS presidency website, the 11 members account for about 49.5 percent of the world's population, 40 percent of global GDP and 26 percent of global trade."Xi's attendance once again demonstrates the importance that China consistently attaches to BRICS cooperation, the development of the mechanism and the common development of Global South countries," said Su Xiao hui, an associate research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies.China's role in advancing BRICS cooperation will again be highlighted at the summit, she said.Cooperation with other BRICS countries has long been a priority of China's foreign policy. Xi's first appearance at a major international multilateral meeting after becoming Chinese president was at the fifth BRICS Summit, held in Durban, South Africa, in March 2013.Wang You ming, a researcher on developing countries at the China Institute of International Studies, said the upcoming summit holds particular significance, as it coincides with the 20th anniversary of the launch of BRICS cooperation."One of the biggest highlights will be Xi's trip to India after seven years," Wang said. "China and India are not only close neighbors, but also founding members and major participants in BRICS. The state of their relationship has a direct bearing on the development of the mechanism."China and India have expressed mutual support for each other in hosting BRICS events, with India holding the rotating presidency this year and China set to assume the presidency next year."Multilateral platforms can create opportunities for bilateral engagement, while improving bilateral relations can in turn facilitate coordination within multilateral mechanisms," Wang said.At a time when unilateral trade measures and disruptions to global industrial and supply chains are placing mounting pressure on developing economies, the summit is expected to amplify the voice of the Global South and strengthen coordination in upholding an open world economy and the multilateral trading system, he added.Wang said BRICS cooperation had gradually moved beyond broad policy declarations toward concrete programs involving small and medium-sized enterprises, cities, young people and people-to-people exchanges.According to Wang, emerging sectors such as the digital economy, green development and artificial intelligence are also likely to provide new areas of growth for BRICS cooperation.Emmanuel Frimpong Sarpong, who holds a PhD from the University of Nottingham Ningbo China and is the lead author of a study on China's role in BRICS, said China has played an instrumental role in the development of the BRICS mechanism.He described the New Development Bank as one of the grouping's most significant achievements. By the end of 2025, the bank had approved $42.9 billion in financing for 139 projects covering clean energy, transportation, water and sanitation, environmental protection, and social and digital infrastructure, according to the bank.

    英语新闻丨中国计划到2030年提升眼健康服务水平

    China’s health authorities have unveiled a five-year plan to expand access to eye care services, with a focus on tackling childhood myopia, addressing cataracts, which are particularly common among seniors, and strengthening eye care capacity in rural areas.  中国卫生部门近日公布一项为期五年的眼健康服务提升计划，旨在扩大眼科医疗服务覆盖范围，重点防治儿童近视、解决老年人群中较为常见的白内障问题，并进一步提升农村地区眼健康服务能力。 By 2030, the nation aims to raise refraction screening rates steadily among children aged 6 and under, as well as primary and secondary school students, while improving awareness of refractive error care among the elderly, according to the plan released on Tuesday by the National Health Commission and two other government departments. 根据国家卫生健康委员会等三个部门于周二发布的相关规划，到2030年，中国将稳步提高6岁及以下儿童以及中小学生屈光筛查率，同时提升老年人群对屈光问题防治的认知水平。 The plan also calls for the effective refractive error coverage rate to increase steadily. The rate refers to the proportion of people who need near — or distance-vision correction and receive spectacles, contact lenses, refractive surgery or other interventions that achieve quality outcomes. 规划提出，要稳步提高有效屈光不正矫正覆盖率。该指标指的是，需要进行近视或远视矫正的人群中，通过佩戴眼镜、隐形眼镜、屈光手术或其他干预措施，并取得良好矫正效果的人所占的比例。 Other goals include raising the cataract surgery rate to more than 4,000 operations per 1 million people and improving the overall effectiveness of the treatment. The plan also aims to increase the number of ophthalmologists to more than 5.3 per 100,000 people and expand the optometrist workforce. 规划还提出，到2030年，每百万人白内障手术率要提高至4000例以上，并提升治疗整体效果。同时，中国眼科医师数量将增加至每10万人超过5.3名，并进一步扩大验光师队伍规模。 By 2030, more than 93 percent of county-level general hospitals are expected to have an ophthalmology department or an ear, nose and throat and eye care unit. 到2030年，预计超过93%的县级综合医院将设立眼科，或配备耳鼻喉科与眼健康相关诊疗单元。 More than 95 percent of county-level regions will be capable of independently diagnosing and treating common eye diseases, while all counties will be able to provide cataract surgery. 超过95%的县级行政区域将具备独立诊断和治疗常见眼病的能力，所有县域都将能够开展白内障手术。 To achieve these objectives, the document calls for stronger efforts in health education, early screening, diagnosis and treatment, as well as improvements in related medical and rehabilitation services. 为实现上述目标，规划要求进一步加强健康教育、早期筛查、诊断治疗工作，同时完善相关医疗服务和康复服务体系。 Medical institutions are required to provide screening for common eye diseases, including myopia and other refractive errors, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts and glaucoma, among high-risk groups such as children and teenagers, middle-aged and older adults, and patients with chronic conditions including diabetes and high blood pressure. 医疗机构需针对儿童青少年、中老年人群，以及糖尿病、高血压等慢性病患者等重点人群，开展常见眼病筛查，包括近视及其他屈光不正、糖尿病视网膜病变、白内障和青光眼等疾病。 Paired assistance programs and mobile medical teams will enhance local capabilities for performing cataract surgery while advancing standardized operating procedures and enhanced training for medical personnel. 规划提出，通过对口帮扶项目和流动医疗队，提高基层医疗机构开展白内障手术的能力，同时推进手术操作规范化，加强医务人员培训。 Myopia and cataracts have been priority areas in China’s eye care services in recent years. 近年来，近视和白内障一直是中国眼健康服务的重点领域。 Official data shows that the overall myopia rate among students in China has declined steadily in recent years, falling 3.7 percentage points from 2018 to 49.9 percent in 2025. 官方数据显示，近年来中国学生总体近视率持续下降，从2018年的水平下降3.7个百分点，2025年降至49.9%。 Cataracts affected about 130 million adults in China in 2020, accounting for about 22.78 percent of the age group, according to official data. The number is estimated to exceed 240 million by 2050. 另据官方数据，2020年中国约有1.3亿成年人患有白内障，占该年龄群体的约22.78%。预计到2050年，白内障患者数量将超过2.4亿。 The document also stresses the integration of artificial intelligence, big data, 5G and other emerging technologies into eye care services. Such technologies will be used to support remote diagnosis, analyze medical imaging results and facilitate screening and diagnosis. 规划还强调，要推动人工智能、大数据、5G等新兴技术与眼健康服务深度融合。相关技术将用于支持远程诊断、医学影像分析，以及促进疾病筛查和诊断。 [词汇提炼] expand /ɪkˈspænd/ v.扩大；扩展 tackle /ˈtækl/ v.应对；解决（问题）cataract /ˈkætərækt/ n.白内障 refraction /rɪˈfrækʃn/ n.屈光；折射 ophthalmologist /ˌɒfθælˈmɒlədʒɪst/ n.眼科医生 rehabilitation /ˌriːəˌbɪlɪˈteɪʃn/ n.康复；恢复 myopia rate /maɪˈəʊpiə reɪt/ n.近视率

    英语新闻丨刘翔已于9月1日“买断“ 把全部薪资捐给慈善机构

    Olympic champion Liu Xiang said on Thursday that he completed a buyout with Shanghai sports authorities on Sept 1, receiving 494,000 yuan, and would have no further association with the sports bureau.奥运冠军刘翔今天表示，他已于 9 月 1 日与上海体育主管部门完成买断，获得 49.4 万元，今后将不再与该体育局存在任何关联。 “On Sept 1, I had already completed the buyout and received 494,000 yuan in buyout compensation,” Liu said in a post on his personal social media account. “From now on, I will have no further association with the sports bureau.”“9 月 1 日，我已经完成买断，拿到 49.4 万元买断补偿金，” 刘翔在个人社交媒体账号发文称，“从今往后，我和体育局不再有任何关系。” The 43‑year‑old former hurdler also said that he had received a total of 982,935 yuan in salary and subsidies from April 7, 2015, when he retired, until the completion of the buyout. Liu said he donated the entire amount to the China Charity Federation on Sept 2 for disaster relief following mudslides in the Xizang autonomous region.这位 43 岁的前跨栏运动员还表示，自 2015 年 4 月 7 日退役至完成买断期间，他共计领到薪资及补贴 982935 元。刘翔称，他已于 9 月 2 日将全部款项捐赠给中华慈善总会，用于西藏自治区泥石流灾害的救灾工作。 Liu's latest post came after a public dispute over his post‑retirement career arrangement triggered widespread discussion on Chinese social media.此前，关于刘翔退役后职业安置的公开争议在国内社交媒体引发广泛热议，之后刘翔发布了这篇最新博文。 On Aug 26, Liu posted a photo commemorating his victory at the 2004 Athens Olympics and said the sports authorities had asked him to choose between becoming a coach and accepting a buyout.8 月 26 日，刘翔发布一张纪念 2004 年雅典奥运会夺冠的照片，称体育主管部门要求他在担任教练和接受买断二者之间做出选择。 The Shanghai Sports Bureau said afterward that Liu was an outstanding athlete who had made significant contributions to Shanghai's sports development. It said the Shanghai Competitive Sports Training Management Center had communicated with Liu and would handle his post‑retirement arrangement in accordance with relevant national and municipal regulations, mainly through organizational placement or self‑employment.上海市体育局随后表示，刘翔是优秀运动员，为上海体育事业发展作出了突出贡献。上海市竞技体育训练管理中心已与刘翔沟通，将按照国家及本市相关规定处理其退役安置事宜，安置方式主要为组织安排岗位或者自主择业。 In his latest post, Liu also addressed what he described as the issue of being “on the payroll but not at his post”, saying he had not received any formal position or post since his retirement.在最新博文中，刘翔还谈及所谓 “吃空饷” 问题，称自己退役之后从未获得任何正式职务。 “I have not received any official post or position since I retired,” Liu said. “I respect the rules and accept that there may have been oversights, but rules should never be an excuse.”“退役之后我没有得到任何官方职务，” 刘翔说，“我尊重制度，也承认或许存在疏漏，但制度绝不能成为借口。” He questioned why the issue had taken 11 years to address, saying that the choice between becoming a coach and accepting a buyout had come too late to be regarded as a genuine career choice.他质疑该问题为何拖延 11 年才得以处理，表示让他在做教练与接受买断之间二选一，来得太迟，算不上真正的职业选择。 Liu said he hoped his case would encourage greater attention to the career transition of retired athletes and called for more flexible and diverse arrangements.刘翔表示，希望自己的事件能够促使社会更加关注退役运动员的职业转型，呼吁推出更加灵活多元的安置方案。 “Putting the issue of resettlement in the public eye is not about using public opinion to seek a third option,” he said. “I hope organizations will seriously consider the future of every retired athlete and treat them well.”“把安置问题摆到公众面前，并不是借舆论谋求第三种选择，” 他说，“希望相关机构能够认真考量每一位退役运动员的未来，善待他们。” Liu won the men's 110‑meter hurdles at the 2004 Athens Olympics with a time of 12.91 seconds, becoming the first Asian athlete to win an Olympic gold medal in a men's track event. He went on to win the world title in 2007 and set a world record of 12.88 seconds in 2006.刘翔在 2004 年雅典奥运会男子 110 米栏比赛中以 12 秒 91 夺冠，成为首位夺得奥运会男子田径项目金牌的亚洲运动员。他随后在 2007 年拿下世锦赛冠军，并于 2006 年创造 12 秒 88 的世界纪录。 buyout /ˈbaɪaʊt/n. 买断subsidy /ˈsʌbsədi/n. 补贴resettlement /ˌriːˈsetlmənt/n. 安置transition /trænˈzɪʃn/n. 转型
