1. 新'百元纸币'遇验钞尴尬

2. 中国股票首入'国际指数'

3. 双十一后迎来'快递高峰'

4. 百余篇中国论文遭'撤稿'

5. 大城市'空巢老人'达七成

1. 百元纸币

100-yuan banknote

请看例句：

The People's Bank of China started to put a new version of 100-yuan banknote into circulation on Thursday.

中国人民银行12日发行的新版百元纸币开始正式流通。

Banknote尤指央行发行的纸币，纸币还可以用note或bill表示。2015年版第五套(the fifth set)人民币100元纸币在保持2005年版的规格、正背面主图案、主色调、"中国人民银行"行名、国徽(national emblem)、盲文和汉语拼音行名、民族文字等不变的前提下，对部分图案做了适当调整，新版纸币在防伪性能和机读性能上有所提升(the new bank notes are harder to counterfeit and easier for machines to read)。新版纸币增加了光变安全线和光彩光变数字(optical-variable security thread and value numeral)等防伪特征(security features)，公众很容易辨别真伪(easily identify fake equivalents)。旧版百元纸币仍继续流通(stay in circulation)，并逐步被淘汰(gradually be phased out)。

不过新版百元纸币也遭遇了尴尬，部分验钞机(currency detector)和ATM机(automatic teller machine)还不能识别。为确保新版百元纸币顺利发行，此前央行曾发布公告，要求组织社会商用现金接受设备生产企业(manufacturers of cash receiving equipment)参加设备升级测试报名，其中包括验钞机、ATM机、自动售货机(vending machine)等。

2. 新兴市场指数

emerging markets index

请看例句：

MSCI will add Alibaba and Baidu Inc to its emerging markets index on Dec 1.

12月1日，MSCI将把阿里巴巴和百度纳入其新兴市场指数。

200多家中资公司在美国交易所上市，多数通过发行美国存托凭证(American Depositary Receipt，ADR)进行交易。MSCI把在美国上市的中概股(US-listed Chinese shares)纳入其"中国A股指数(China A Indexes)"和"明晟中国指数"，这将是中国股票首次进入国际指数(global index)。

新增的成份股(component stocks)包括14支中概股，除阿里巴巴和百度外，还有京东、网易、新东方、去哪儿、优酷土豆等。阿里巴巴市值(market value)接近2000亿美元，是将被纳入指数的最大在美上市中资企业。阿里巴巴和百度的加入，将提高科技企业(technology firms)在MSCI明晟新兴市场指数中的比重。

分析师估计，未来六个月，这次指数调整将引发总计最多达700亿美元的资金流入这些股票(trigger fund flows worth up to $70b into these stocks)。

MSCI全球指数是摩根士丹利资本国际公司(Morgan Stanley Capital International)编制的证券指数。MSCI指数所组成的股票，大都是股市中的大型股票，隐含着业绩与财务稳定。

3. 快递高峰

delivery rush

请看例句:

Express companies have rolled out state-of-the-art technology to cope with delivery rush in the busiest time of the year, as millions of package line up for deliveries after the Singles Day buying binge.

双十一是每年快递公司最繁忙的时候，购物狂欢结束后，数百万份包裹都在等待投递。快递公司开始利用高科技来应对这一快递高峰。

双十一购物狂欢节("Double 11" carnival)相当于美国的Cyber Monday(感恩节假期之后的第一个上班日的网购促销活动)或者Black Friday(感恩节之后的星期五，也是拉开圣诞购物季的日子)，自2009年开始已经成为网购用户每年一次的抢购狂欢(shopping spree)。快递公司(express companies)也迎来一场大考。今年，高科技助力快递企业轻松应战双十一快递高峰(delivery rush)。

在打响促销活动前，11月10日，阿里巴巴举办了一场双十一晚会(Singles Day shopping gala)。这场群星荟萃的晚会历时3个半小时。今年这场购物狂欢盛宴(shopping bonanza)亦如预期，电商(e-commerce operators)和企业们成功掀起一股舆论和购物高潮，在11日零时准时爆发。

4. 论文撤稿

removal of papers

请看例句：

As more than 100 Chinese research papers were removed from well-known global publications for misconduct, investigators have exposed a grey industry chain of ghost writers and forged peer reviews. The publishers said the removal of the articles was based on findings that the peer review was forged by a third party.

国际知名刊物先后撤下百余篇学术不端的中国论文，出版方称，论文撤稿是基于他们发现有第三方机构为这些论文提供虚假同行评审。随后的调查让一条代写、伪造同行评审的灰色产业链浮出水面。

国际科技论文(international scientific theses)被视为一国科研实力的象征(a reflection of a nation's scientific prowess)。然而，今年3月，英国现代生物出版社撤销43篇论文，其中41篇来自中国。8月，德国施普林格出版集团撤回旗下10本学术期刊上发表的64篇论文，绝大部分来自中国。10月，拥有《柳叶刀》《细胞》等知名学术期刊的出版巨头爱思唯尔撤销旗下5种杂志中的9篇论文，全部来自中国。

同行评议(peer review)是学术刊物普遍采取的论文评审制度。一般由出版方邀请论文所涉领域的专家(invite experts of the same field)评价论文质量(assess a paper's quality)，提出评审修改意见。它很大程度上决定了文章是否刊发。调查发现第三方机构提供虚假的评审专家信息。比如用自己注册的邮箱地址冒充专家邮箱(forge experts' email addresses)，评审时论文实际上是返回到投稿者手里。投稿人冒充评审人将正面评价发至出版方(send positive opinions to the publisher)，从而达到操纵评审(manipulate the appraisal)的目的。

调查显示，这些第三方机构多以"语言公司"的面目(disguised as language-service companies)在网络上出现。他们宣称为科研人员的英文论文进行语言润色(promote themselves as polishers of English papers for researchers)，实际上却提供代笔服务(actually provide a ghost writing service)。这些机构还会给"具有国际论文潜力"的论文作者发邮件，寻找潜在客户(gain potential customers)。

5. 空巢老人

empty nesters

请看例句:

Now about half of the country's households have empty-nesters, and the figure is about 70% in large and medium-sized cities.

目前，我国半数家庭中有空巢老人。大中城市中，空巢家庭占比高达70%。

空巢老人(empty nesters)一般是指子女长大离家后的中老年人(parents whose children have grown up and left home)，也可以称为"left behind" seniors。全国老龄委预测，从2015到2035年，我国将进入急速老龄化阶段(become rapidly aging)，老年人口(elderly population)将从2.12亿增加到4.18亿，占比升至29%。

从旧时的四世同堂(four generations living under one roof)到如今的核心家庭(nuclear family/smaller families with just the young couple and a kid)，中国社会的家庭模式经历了巨大变迁。每当假期结束，子女又要离家时，空巢老人会感到很难过(have a hard time/feel depressed)，感到万分孤独(in solitude and isolation)，甚至出现分离焦虑(separation anxiety)。这是空巢老人特有的节后综合征(post-holiday blues)。

6. 空气末日

airpocalypse

请看例句:

Airpocalypse, again. Thick smog will persist for the next five days in major cities in northeastern China that have seen extremely high air pollution readings since Nov 6。

"空气末日"又来了。未来5天，严重雾霾天将持续笼罩中国东北主要城市。从6日开始，东北地区的空气污染指数已经爆表。

Airpocalypse一词由air(空气)和apocalypse(世界末日)构成，意思是空气污染很严重，像世界末日来临了一样。

8日，沈阳的PM2.5浓度(the concentration of PM2.5)达到了1107微克/立方米(micrograms per cubic mete)。而我国的PM2.5国家安全标准(national safety level)是75微克/立方米。

为了应对严重污染的空气，不少家庭开始使用空气净化器(air purifier)，出门时也会选择佩戴空气过滤口罩(air filtration face masks)。各地政府也采取措施限制公车(government vehicles)上路。

7. 琅琊榜

Nirvana in Fire

请看例句：

"Nirvana in Fire" is making waves in China and abroad.

《琅琊榜》引发国内外观看热潮。

因为剧情是以平反冤案、扶持明君、开创盛世的大历史为主线，再穿插国仇家恨，所以美国的粉丝们将该剧媲美大仲马(Alexandre Dumas)代表作，称之为中国版《基督山伯爵》(China's "The Count of Monte Cristo")。片名也由最初显得默默无闻的"The Rankings of Langya"改为气势磅礴的"Nirvana in Fire"(名词nirvana意为"涅槃")。

专注于日剧、韩剧和大陆剧的日本影评人Heisui在剧评博客网站"My Drama Tea"中也写下了追看《琅琊榜》的博文，文中还引用了很多经典英文台词：

>People can only be betrayed by friends; enemies would never have the chance to.

人只会被朋友背叛，敌人是永远都没有出卖和背叛的机会的。

>In this world, there's no carefree person. If you have desires and feelings, you won't be carefree. 世上本没有自由自在的人，只要一个人有感情，有欲望，他就永远不可能是自由自在的。

另有报道称，该剧还有望在非洲多国播出。

篇四：2015国庆节放假通知 英文

2015国庆节放假通知 英文

根据国务院办公厅通知精神，现将2015年国庆节放假安排通知如下：

According to the general office of the State Council to inform the spirit, the 2015 National Day holiday arrangements are as follows:

国庆节：10月1日至7日放假调休，共7天。9月29日(星期日)、10月12日(星期六)上班。

National Day: October 1st to 7 holiday days off, a total of 7 days. September 29th (Sunday), on October 12th (Saturday).

节假日期间，各单位要妥善安排好值班和安全、保卫等工作，遇有重大突发事件发生，要按规定及时报告并妥善处置，确保人民群众祥和平安度过节日假期。

During the holidays, each unit should make proper arrangements on duty and security work, in case of major events occurred, according to the report provides timely and proper disposal, to ensure that the people's peaceful through holiday.

"国庆"一词，本指国家喜庆之事，最早见于西晋。西晋的文学家陆机在《五等诸侯论》一文中就曾有"国庆独飨其利，主忧莫与其害"的记载、我国封建时代、国家喜庆的大事，莫大过于帝王的登基、诞辰(清朝称皇帝的生日为万岁节)等。因而我国古代把皇帝即位、诞辰称为"国庆"。今天称国家建立的纪念日为国庆。在我国，国庆节特指中华人民共和国正式宣告成立的10 月1日。

The phrase "National Day", which originally referred to the matter of national festival, can be traced back to the West Jin at the earliest stage. Western Jin Dynasty writer Lu Ji in "five other princes theory" in an article once to have "national day alone for its advantages, the main worry about Mo and its victims," the record, China's feudal era, the national celebration event, too great emperor ascended the throne, birthday (Qing Dynasty called long live the emperor's birthday festival). Thus in ancient China the emperor ascended the throne, the birthday is called "national day". Countries today called for the National Day anniversary. In our country, National Day refers in particular to October 1st when PRC was proclaimed as established in 1949.

Starting June 1st, all indoor public places and manyoutdoor public places in Beijing are required to be100-percent smoke-free, including primary andmiddle schools, seating areas of sports stadiums andhospitals that treat women or children.

Violators will face fines of up to 200 yuan ($32), andowners of the establishment will face penalties up to10,000 yuan.

"Beijing has now set the bar very high — and we now lo

ok forward to other cities around China,and the world, f

ollowing Beijing’s excellent example," said Bernhard Sc

hwartlander, WHOrepresentative in China

The Beijing government is training several thousand ins

pectors who will be responsible forinspecting venues and issuing fines, and thousands of community volunteers will also bemobilized to support enforcement, according to the WHO China Country Office.

Zhang Jianshu, president of the Beijing Tobacco Control Association, said it would be difficult toenforce the law in some areas where smoking is prevalent, such as nightclubs.

"The key lies in business owners," he added.

"They have the responsibility to ensure nosmoking within their establishments."

The deputy director of the Beijing Health Inspection Bureau, said that relying on penalties tocurb smoking is not enough.

"We hope that more smokers are willing to quit not because of harsh rules, but because oftheir awareness of the harm caused by smoking," he said.

China has more than 300 million smokers, and more than 1 million people die each year due tosmoking-related diseases, according to the National Health and Family Planning Commission.

Just ahead of the regulation taking effect, Beijing MTR Corp put up tobacco control posterson all trains on Subway Line 4 as part of the smoke-free campaign by the WHO.

"I noticed the posters in the subway on my way to work," said he, who has been smoking formore than 10 years.

"It might not be easy to quit smoking right away, but I won’t be smokingin nonsmoking areas for sure."

Beijing is home to about 4.2 million smokers, accounting for 23.4 percent of people aged 15and above. They smoke an average of 14.6 cigarettes per day, according to a surveyconducted by the Beijing Center for Disease Control last year.

从6月1日起，北京市所有的室内公共场所和大部分户外公共场所都必须100％禁烟，包括威胁到妇女和儿童的中小学、体育场馆和医院的休息区。违者将面临最高200元（32美元）的罚款，而场所经营者最高处罚10000元。

世界卫生组织驻华代表施贺德说：“北京现在已经设置相当高的门槛，现在我们期待着中国和世界的其他城市，能够学习北京的好榜样。”

世界卫生组织中国办事处介绍，北京政府正在培训数千监管员，将负责检查场所巡查和开出罚款，另外还有数千名社区志愿者也将被动员起来以支持实施禁烟令。

北京控烟协会会长张建树表示，禁烟令在某些吸烟流行的场所难以执行，比如夜总会等。“关键在于企业主，”他补充道：“他们有义务确保其场所内禁止吸烟。”

北京市卫生监督局副局长说，依靠惩罚来遏制吸烟是不够的。

“我们希望更多的吸烟者并非因为严厉的措施戒烟，而是认识到吸烟对他们造成的危害。”他说。

国家卫生和计划生育委员会的资料显示，中国有超过3亿烟民，每年有超过100万人??死于吸烟引起的疾病。

就在禁烟令生效前夕，作为世界卫生组织无烟运动的一部分,北京地铁公司将控烟宣传海报张贴在地铁4号线上的所有列车。

“我在上班乘坐的地铁上看到了海报，”一个有10年烟龄的人说：“可能我不太容易马上戒掉，但绝不会在无烟区抽烟了。”

北京约有420万烟民，15岁及以上的烟民占23.4％。去年北京疾病预防中心的一项调查显示，他们平均每天吸14.6支烟。

Many students think that multitasking has no effect on
