china daily 双语新闻：央视将引进生活大爆炸欲推绿色译制
版
The boss of a Chinese online video site said Monday he believes the sudden banning of four American TV shows does not represent a wider trend, though it's unclear why the shows were targeted.
中国某在线视频网站老板周一称，他相信美剧禁令并不会继续扩大，但美剧下架背后的原因尚不清楚。
央视将引进《生活大爆炸》欲推“绿色”译制版
"Give me back Sheldon," referring to the socially inept physicist on "The Big Bang Theory," was a popular refrain among social media users angry at the show's disappearance.
网友们纷纷抱怨“还我谢耳朵”以表达对《生活大爆炸》下架的不满。谢耳朵是中国网友对该剧中二次元物理学家谢尔顿的爱称。
"I believe it's a stand-alone event and it does not represent the policy trend or change toward American TV shows," Charles Zhang, Soho CEO and founder, said on a conference call.
搜狐总裁张朝阳在一次电话会议上表示：“我相信这是一次独立事件，并不能代表国家对引进美剧政策的趋势或改变。”
Adding to the mystery, a media and translation agency said Monday it was subtitling "The Big Bang Theory" for the state broadcaster, China Central Television.
此外，一家媒体和翻译机构周一称中央电视台将重新译制《生活大爆炸》，并在央视播出，这让禁令事件愈加扑朔迷离。
An employee of Beijing-based CBM said they were translating the show and would return it to CCTV with captions in Chinese. The employee only gave his surname, Li, and referred to a statement posted on the company's website earlier this month that said the translation of "The Big Bang Theory" was under way and would be shown soon on CCTV.
据北京CBM影视译制机构的一位员工透露，该公司正在译制该剧，完成后将交给央视中文字幕版的《生活大爆炸》。这名李姓员工称，本月该公司网站上已经有声明称《生活大爆炸》的译制正在进行中，并且很快就会在央视播出。
Sohu's Zhang said he didn't know about the translation for CCTV, and said Sohu had exclusive online rights to the show in mainland China.
张朝阳称他不知道央视译制版的事情，并且坚称搜狐是大陆唯一拥有在线播放该剧版权的网站。
Beijing has in the past allowed video websites to operate with few of the restrictions that movie and TV broadcasters face, possibly to avoid stifling what was seen as a promising high-tech industry.
之前视频网站相较各电视台面临的限制少，可能是为了了避免这一颇有前景的高科技产业的发展。
Video websites, with looser controls, show dramas and comedies from the United States, South Korea and Europe and their own programs. They were not required to
submit programs for approval, which allowed them to get imported material on the air faster than TV stations.
视频网站以前管制较松，可以播出来自美国、韩国和欧洲的剧情片和喜剧类，也可以自制剧。由于视频网站不需要提交节目审批，所以引进正在播出的剧集比电视台要快。
chinadaily双语新闻：《舌尖上的中国2》被指抄袭BBC纪录
片
The long awaited second season of "A Bite of China," a Chinese documentary television series on the history of food, eating and cooking, began airing last Friday. But the program didn't receive the strong audience response expected, and has been accused of stealing ideas from a BBC documentary, the Yangtze Evening Post reported on Wednesday.
期待已久的《舌尖上的中国2》上周五终于播出了!这是一部记录食物、饮食、烹饪历史的中国纪录片。然而据《扬子晚报》周三报道，《舌尖2》得到观众的反响并不如预期的好，甚至被指抄袭BBC纪录片创意。
《舌尖上的中国2》被指抄袭BBC纪录片
In the first episode of "A Bite of China II," scenes of a man in Tibet's Nyingchi Prefecture climbing up a tree to get honey from a beehive have been criticized for copying a similar scene in the BBC documentary "Human Planet," in which an African tribesman climbs a tree in the Central African Republic to get honey.
在《舌尖上的中国2》的第一集中，西藏林芝县一男子爬树从蜂巢采集蜂蜜的画面，被批评抄袭BBC纪录片《人类星球》片段：在《人类星球》中，一名非洲部落男子正在中非共和国爬树采集蜂蜜。
《舌尖上的中国2》被指抄袭BBC纪录片
Netizens uploaded screenshots of the two scenes together to highlight their similarities: both have scenes of climbing, looking up and picking honey.
网民上传了两个纪录片的对比截图，以突出二者的相似：爬树、仰望、采集蜂蜜。
Some netizens said the local people in Nyingchi Prefecture have no tradition of climbing trees to get honey, so the plot is fake and designed to create a visual impact.
有些网友指出，林芝县当地人没有爬树采集蜂蜜的传统，所以这个情节是假的、只是为了产生良好的视觉冲击而设计出来的。
Chen Xiaoqing, director of the documentary, denied the plagiarism allegations, saying "We noticed there is also a tree-climbing scene in the 'Human Planet', but the one featured in our documentary is different. I don't think it is plagiary or imitation."
《舌尖上的中国2》总导演陈晓卿否认本片存在抄袭，他说：“我们注意到在《人类星球》中也有爬树的画面，但是《舌尖2》中呈现出的是完全不同的。我们不存在抄袭和模仿。
china daily 双语新闻：如何养好装扮你生活的绿色小植物
From watering to fertilizing and other details, successfully keeping an indoor plant seems to be a troublesome affair. But succulent plants turn it into a fun and easy experience. These fleshy plants don’t require much care and can easily survive and grow.
从浇水、施肥到其它细节，要养好一株室内植物貌似是一件棘手的事。但养肉质植物就是一件轻松有趣的事情了。这些肉质植物不需要太多关注，它们容易存活和生长。
The following are some hardy types that anyone can keep alive and thriving. Why not let these green plants decorate your room, clean the air and accompany you through your college days
下面介绍的是一些耐寒植物，任何人都能养活它们，使它们茁壮成长。为什么不用这些绿色植物装饰你的房间、净化室内空气呢为什么不让它们来陪伴你度过大学生活呢Snake plant
虎尾兰
The Snake plant, also known as Mother-in-law’s Tongue, needs little light to grow. Juliette Vass, owner of New York-based online plant store My City Plants, says it “can literally survive in a closet”. You can even just leave this plant in a pot for years, allowing the roots to multiply into a thick clump. It has long and variegated leaves with deep green centers and light yellow edges. Its flowers are small and white, but it rarely blooms.
虎尾兰还有一个好笑的英文名字“Mother-in-law’s Tongue(丈母娘的舌头)”，它只需一点阳光便可茁壮成长。纽约植物网店“我的城市植物”的店主朱丽叶?瓦什说，虎尾兰完全可以在壁橱里存活下来。
Care tips
温馨护理贴士
Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Don’t overwater, because it will cause leaf and crown rot. It tolerates low light but performs best with medium to bright light. It doesn’t need fertilizer. Any normal room temperature should suit it just fine. Remember to prune out any damaged leaves so the overall plant looks better.
土壤稍微干透后再次浇水。切勿过度浇水，否则会导致叶子和花冠腐烂。虎尾兰耐阴，但中强光下会长得更好。不需要施肥。适合任何正常的室温。为了让整株植物更耐看，要记得剪去任何枯枝烂叶。
Hens-and-chicks
屋顶长生花
Sempervivum Tectorum and Echeveria Elegans share the common name of
Hens-and-Chicks. They both produce “chicks”— small and identical plants that are sliightly offset from the mother (hen). But they look different. Echeveria Elegans forms flat and flowerlike rosettes, while Sempervivum Tectorum’s leaves tend to be flatter and more-pointed. The availability of different-colored hybrids makes them the perfect paint-box plants.
屋顶长生草和月影有个共同的名字——“Hens-and-Chicks”，直译过来便是“母鸡和小鸡”。两种植物均产“小鸡”—形状相同的小型叶片，与母株(母鸡)有稍微差别。但两者看上去不一样。月影的形叶片扁平，犹如一朵盛开的莲花，但屋顶长生草的叶片往往更加扁平，叶子更尖。这两种植物的颜色富于变化，有多种混合颜色，是制作颜料的最佳选择。

8月24日 近日，湖南永州的唐慧女士因“闹访”被劳教一案引发了全国舆论空前关注，劳教制度也引起社会各界的诟病。来自北京、广东、河南、湖南、山东等10个省市的10位律师，联名致信司法部和公安部，建议对劳教制度进行调整。 中国日报报道：Prominent lawyers r joining those now calling on China to reform its controversial laojiao system, or re-education through labor system, which allows suspects to be sentenced to forced labor without 1st undergoing a trial. 知名律师加入声讨大军，要求国家对劳教制度进行改革。劳教制度可以在未经审判的情况下对犯罪嫌疑人作出强制劳动处罚。 Re-education through labor----劳（动）教（养），是一种行政处罚----administrative punishment, 无需法院审判定罪即可deprive freedom of a suspect----限制嫌疑人人身自由，re-educate suspect through forced labor----通过强制劳动进行再教育。 十位律师对公安部和司法部发出公开信----open letter，称劳教制度的intransparency—不透明性和lack of supervision—缺少监督会导致abuse of power—权力滥用。 8月30日 1.Pedestrian overpasses人行天桥 2.plazas 广场 3.China is trying hard to revive interest in its ailing stock market, but some investors are instead shell ing out big money on an asset they can hold in the palms of their hands----walnut s.中国正竭力挽回投资者对股市的兴趣，但一些投资者却开始将大笔资金投入可以在掌心把玩的资产----核桃。（If you shell out for something, you spend a lot of money on it. 付(一大笔钱)）
据十一届全国人大三次会议大会发言人李肇星介绍，会议期间将重点审议全国人大常委会关于提请审议《选举法修正案(草案)》的议案，并指出选举法修正案草案规定的城乡按相同人口比例选举人大代表，将更好地实现人人平等、地区平等、民族平等的原则。 请看《中国日报》的报道： The draft amendment to the Electoral Law has proposed equal electoral rights for urban and rural citizens, which, if passed, will "expand people's democracy and safeguard their rights to be the masters of their own destiny", Li Zhaoxing, spokesman for the third session of the 11th NPC, told reporters at a press conference on Thursday. 十一届全国人大三次会议发言人李肇星上周四在记者发布会上表示，《选举法修正案(草案)》提出城乡居民应享有相同的选举权。该修正案通过后将“扩大人民民主，保障人民当家作主的权利”。 文中的amendment to the Electoral Law就是指“选举法修正案”，而draft amendment就是指“修正案草案”。此次《选举法》修改，一个重点就是城乡拟按相同人口比例选举人大代表，并且享有相同的electoral rights(选举权)。城乡居民选举将有望实现equal representation(同票同权)。 Amendment在这里指“修正案”，例如First Amendment就常用来指“美国宪法第一修正案”，而draft在这里则表示“草案”。此外，draft还常用来指“征兵，选拔”，例如：John was drafted into the Army last year. (约翰去年被应征入伍。) 全国人大新闻发言人李肇星本周四在新闻发布会上称，2010年我国国防预算将比上年预算执行数增长7.5%。与前几年相比，国防费用增幅有所下降。 请看新华社的报道： China plans to increase its defense budget by 7.5 percent in 2010, only about half of last year's planned growth of 14.9 percent, a parliament spokesman said here on Thursday. 全国人大发言人(李肇星)本周四称，中国2010年国防预算的增幅计划为7.5%，增幅仅为去年计划增幅14.9%的一半。 文中的defense budget就是指“国防预算”，而在实际花费之后则会形成defense expenditure/spending(国防开支)。该预算在fiscal expenditure(财政支出)中所占的比例与去年持平。我国一直奉行defensive national defense policy(防御性国防政策)，逐步提高military transparency(军事透明度)，每两年发布一次white papers on national defense(国防白皮书)。 每年各国政府都会制定fiscal year(财政年度)中的各项预算。家庭内部还可以制定family budget(家庭预算)。现在年轻人的消费观念已经发生了转变，采用budget plan/divided payments(分期付款)的方式买车也越来越流行了，但这并不代表一定会铺张浪费，很多人还是会选择购买一辆budget car(便宜的车)。 3月3日在向政协大会做工作报告时，中共中央政治局常委、全国政协主席贾庆林表示，将高度重视收入差距过大引发的影响社会稳定的因素，努力促进社会公平正义。
这些年过的春节年味儿越飘越淡 The Spring Festival travel rush, witnessed by tens of thousands people going home, gets more and more frightening every year. Firecrackers are more extravagant. The Spring Festival eve dinner gets even more delicious. However, most Chinese people feel that the atmosphere of Spring Festival, or Nianwei, is fading. How come? Why we feel less excited than before when we mention the Spring Festival? 虽然春运潮一年比一年猛，鞭炮和礼花一年比一年热烈，年夜饭一年比一年丰盛，很多国人却感到年味儿越来越淡了。年味儿为什么会变淡？我们提到过年时为什么不再有儿时的期盼和兴奋？ 年味儿是什么味？ What is Nianwei? What kind of atmosphere is it? It is the excitement and expectation on the way home; it is the smile on parents’ faces when we arrive; It is the happiness of the whole family sitting together chatting; it is our toast to our elders at dinner; It is the smell of fireworks going off outside; it is the jiaozi (dumpling) for the Spring Festival eve dinner that mom has been busy preparing; It is the enjoyment of going to the temple fair and watching the dragon dance, a scene that drags us back to childhood; it is the friendly ambiance in which everyone says “Happy New Year” no matter whether they know each other or not; It is the red lanterns hanging everywhere… Nianwei, the Spring Festival atmosphere, is happiness, peace and reunions… 什么是年味？ 年味是回家途中的激动与期盼，是踏入家门时爸妈的笑脸； 是全家团圆的喜乐气氛，是晚辈孝敬长辈围坐在桌前敬的那一杯酒； 是屋外烟花闪耀飘进鼻内的一股幽香，是妈妈忙前忙后做的一顿年夜饭中的饺子；是逛庙会看着舞龙仿佛又回到童年的一种享受，是甭管认识不认识，见面都说过年好的那种友好感觉； 是满大街挂满了红灯笼充满了祝福话语的那种气氛。。。。。。 “年味”是喜庆、是平安、是团圆。。。。。。 过年习俗 Cleaning: In Chinese, the pronunciation of “尘”（dust）and “陈”（stale things）are the same, so cleaning the dust before the Spring Festival eve means kicking poverty and bad luck out of the house. The tradition embodies people’s hope to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new. 扫尘：按民间的说法，因“尘”与“陈”谐音，新春扫尘有“除尘布新”的涵义，其用意是要把一切穷运、晦气统统扫出门。这一习俗寄托着人们破旧立新的愿望

中考英语时事新闻阅读理解最新训练 A It was the last climb on his try to reach the highest summit(峰顶) on all seven continents（洲）. When Christopher Kulish finally got to Mount Everest’s 29,035-foot peak, he joined a group known as the “Seven Summits Club”. But the 62-year-old Colorado attorney passed away suddenly Monday after returning to the first camp below the mountain’s summit. He’s the second American to die in the past week after reaching Everest’s highest point. At least 11 people have died on Mount Everest this year. The deaths come among reports of overcrowding on the popular mountain. The Nepali government gave a total of 381 permits（许可证）to climb Everest this year. (第二题)For some climbers, that traffic has meant longer wait times —some told the Himalayan Times the wait has been over two hours between the last camp and the peak. Mountaineer Vanessa O’Brien said when there’s a crowd, being a more ex perienced climber won’t help you. “It doesn’t matter if you’re the best racecar driver in the world. If you’re stuck in traffic, you’re stuck in traffic,” she said in an interview. Still, Christopher’s family said he’d been mountain climbing for five decad es. （第三题）He arrived at the base camp nearly two months before his climb so he could give himself time to adapt to the conditions. When he made his journey, his family said he was climbing with a small group in almost ideal conditions after some of the overcrowding had cleared. 1. What do we know about Christopher? A. He has reached the highest point on all seven continents. B. He joined the “Seven Summits Club” at the foot of the mountain. C. 11 people following him died after reaching the Everest peak this year. D. He died from a heart attack before he got to the mountain’s summit. 2. What made longer wait times on Mount Everest? A. Lacking guides.

The discovery is exciting because the existence of methane gas could support the case for life on Mars. Methane has no color or smell. A special instrument on Curiosity’s Mars Science Laboratory recorded the increased gas level. The device, called a laser spectrometer, measures levels of chemical elements and gases in the Martian atmosphere. In addition to methane, the instrument can record levels of water and CO2. Nearly all the methane gas found in Earth’s atmosphere is produced by biological activity. It usually comes from animal and plant life. But it can also be formed by geological（地质的）processes, such as interactions between rocks and water. NASA said the increased methane was measured to be about 21 parts per billion by volume (ppbv). One ppbv means that if you take a volume of air on Mars, one billionth of the volume of air is methane.
