A middle school teacher rewrites hundreds of ancient stories
一中学教师重新编写历史故事
Some consider Huang Qiaoyan to be the Chinese equivalent of the German Brothers Grimm. That is because the middle school teacher in Guangdong province's Dongguan has compiled more than 200 Chinese fairy tales over the past seven years to make them accessible to children.
有些人将黄巧燕看作为中国的“格林兄弟”,这是因为这位来自广东东莞的中学女教师在近七年的时间中完成了超过两百个中国童话故事的重新编写工作,让它们更适合孩子们阅读。
The idea came to her when she was disappointed by a book of Chinese folk stories she borrowed from the library 13 years ago. "The book was simple and commonplace," she recalled." And the stories were dry. They were far from interesting. I pored over all kinds of texts, took notes and jotted down the most attractive parts of different versions, felt them with my heart and tried to put the pieces together,"
十三年前,当她在阅读一本从图书馆借阅的中国民间故事集并失望不已的时候,这个灵感突然涌现出脑海。“这本书很简单通俗,”她回忆说,“并且里面的故事非常乏味。我仔细地与独立所有的文章,做了笔记并且摘取下不同版本中最有吸引力的部分,然后用心去体会,把他们重新整理在一起。”
Huang wrote almost all of the story of Cang Jie Creates Chinese Characters because she was not satisfied with the materials she had. She loved the original words , from Tang Dynasty (618-907). But the ancient Chinese words are not easily understood by children.
黄写了几乎所有关于“仓颉造字”的故事,因为她对现有的材料并不满足。她喜欢唐代的语言文字,但是古汉语对于孩子们来说还是稍显生涩难懂。
Huang has collected over 10,000 stories and selected about 300 of the best known that are suitable for children and rich in spiritual meaning. She won the 2009 Bing Xin Children's Literature Award for an original fairy tale she created.
黄收集了超过一万个故事并且选择了其中三百则著名的且适合孩子阅读的,进行精神内涵的润色和补充。她凭借自己创造改编的传统童话故事获得了2009年“冰心儿童文学奖”。

Is it suitable for colleges and universities to charge a lost-and-found fee?
高校设“失物招领费”费用该不该收?
The other day, a college in Sichuan Province established a lost-and-found fee, and demanded that students who recover lost items pay an amount of money to thank and award people who pick up and give back them, ranging from 5 yuan to 20 yuan. This news drew much attention on the Internet. And immediately, the netizens discussed about the topic that whether it’s encouraging honest behavior or pollute our traditional virtues of returning the lost money.
日前,四川某高校设置“失物招领费”,要求领回丢失物品的学生需缴纳5元至20元不等的钱款以奖励拾金不昧者的消息引起了不少网友的关注。一时间,将“拾金不昧”的传统美德“有偿化”,是在进一步鼓励拾金不昧的行为,还是对传统美德的“亵渎”,成为网友们讨论的焦点。
Actually, charging for lost-and-found isn’t something of a novelty, lots of colleges have explored such ways. Besides, this college didn’t force everyone to do that, but elastically, the college would reward honest deeds if the owners were unwilling to pay. Additionally, the intentions of this policy are also acceptable. From one perspective, it can motivate students to be honest and nurture a good atmosphere on campus by giving material award. From another perspective, it can remind students that it’s time they should get rid of the bad habit of carelessness. What matters most is that such a measure is legal to some extent. Chinese Property Law clearly stipulates that, “when a right holder is receiving lost items, he should pay the finder or related departments necessary fees to help take care of the lost”, that is to say, the finder has the right to obtain necessary compensation.
其实,“失物招领费”并非新鲜事物,不少学校已经有了类似探索。而且,该校的做法也并非强制,而是颇具弹性,如果学生不愿意交钱,校方将支付费用以奖励拾金不昧者。此外,政策的出发点也算说得通,一是通过物质激励引领向善的风气,鼓励校园内形成拾金不昧的良好氛围,二是提醒同学长记性,改一改“马大哈”的毛病。最重要的是,该做法是在一定程度上具备法律基础的,我国《物权法》明确规定,“权利人领取遗失物时,应当向拾得人或者有关部门支付保管遗失物等支出的必要费用”,也就是说,拾得人有权在归还遗失物的同时获得必要的补偿。
Now that this policy can be understandable in both reason and law, why did it give rise to arguments and even objection? Thinking in details, here are some reasons.
既然从道理和法理上都说得通,为何该规定还是引发了网友的争议甚至反对呢?仔细想想,个中缘由不难理解。
On one hand, returning money back is a traditional Chinese virtue, a shining quality in the public’s mind. It’s natural to return things back to the owner. Whether be rewarded or not, it’s a moral standard. On the other hand, although the amount of the fee isn’t big, the system and standard should be clear and fair. In what situation should finders be rewarded with 5 yuan, 10 yuan, and 20 yuan?Are the conditions, the standards, the rewarded targets and the rewarding ways known publicly? Have suggestions and advice been sought from the teachers and students? All these seem to be minor matters, while it, effectively, reflects the college’s management philosophy.
一是在公众的心目中,拾金不昧是中华民族的传统美德,是道德的闪光点,捡到东西主动归还,这是天经地义的事,无论有没有报酬,这是一条道德准则。二是尽管费用不多,但是制度和标准要清晰公正,究竟什么情况下奖励5元、10元、20元,其条件、标准、奖励对象与方式等是否进行过必要的公开,是否征求过老师与学生的意见,这些看似是小事,实则折射了学校的管理理念。

Jay Chou, the actor and ‘king of Asian Pop’ that outsells Madonna and Beyonce
华人之光 看看英国媒体是如何夸赞周杰伦的
Jay Chou is no stranger to Western audiences, as a Hollywood actor and he is also an award-winning singer-songwriter, with musical style that is influenced by rock hip hop and blues. His music career is so successful that he has sold more than 30 million albums, his music has been downloaded more times than Maonna, Rihanna and Eminem.
周杰伦作为一名好莱坞电影演员他也是一位出色的唱作歌手,诸如摇滚、嘻哈说唱以及布鲁斯等多种音乐曲风均驾驭娴熟,且获奖无数。周杰伦的音乐生涯也是颇为成功,据悉周杰伦的专辑销量已达到3000万张,他的音乐被下载次数甚至超过了麦当娜,蕾哈娜和埃米纳姆。
If that is not impressive enough, Chou-dubbed the “King of Asian Pop”-broke 11 Australian musical performance records with his 2009 concert in Sydney. Chou says his concerts are “all about nostalgia and old school tracks”, which his fans got to experience first-hand during his first ever concert in Europe at the Wembley Arena in London.
如果这组数据还不够令人印象深刻,周杰伦曾经凭借2009年的悉尼演唱会打破了11项澳大利亚的演唱会记录,并被称为“亚洲流行之王”。周杰伦表示自己的演唱会一般以怀旧和过去的校园老歌为主,粉丝们也在他欧洲的首场演唱会于温布利体育馆举行的伦敦场亲自体验了一把现场感。
Chou also explains that concerts give him a lot of ideas for music. One such example is a love song from his forthcoming album, which is due to be released later this year or early next, created after a show in China. But what Chou finds really touching is when his early fans bring their children to his concerts. This is his “musical heritage being passed on from one generation to another” and along with it, he hopes,“positive energy” too.
周杰伦表示演唱会也给予了自己很多音乐方面的灵感。在他即将于今年年末或明年年初发布的新专辑中,其中有一首情歌就是自己受到一场演唱会的启发之后所作。但是真正令周杰伦感动的是,很多陪自己一路走来的老粉丝都把自己的孩子带到了演唱会的现场。这种情景就好像“自己的音乐结晶在一代一代传承”,同时周杰伦希望自己也能够将正能量继续传递下去。

China launched its first cargo spacecraft, Tianzhou-1, into space successfully
中国成功发射天舟一号
This Thursday evening, China launched its first cargo spacecraft, Tianzhou-1, into space successfully, which was regarded as a crucial step to build our own space station around 2022.
本周四晚中国将第一艘货运飞船“天舟一号”发射升空,而这是中国打算在2022年左右建成自己空间站的关键一步。
Lifted by a Long March-7 Y2 carrier rocket, Tianzhou-1 roared into the air from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in south China’s Hainan Province.
天舟一号搭载的是长征七号Y2运载火箭,在海南文昌航天发射中心咆哮升空。
In space, the cargo ship will not only provide fuel and other supplies for the Tiangong-2 space lab in active service through docking with it but conduct some space experiments before returning to Earth.
在太空中,天舟一号会和在轨空间实验室天宫二号对接,为后者提供燃料和其他补给,并在返回地球前进行一些空间实验。
China aims to build a permanent space station that is expected to work for at least 10 years, so the debut of the cargo ship is significant, because of its specific role of a courier to help maintain the space station.
中国的目标是建立一个可以在轨运行至少10年的永久空间站,而货运飞船的登场显得尤其重要,因为它将承担着维持空间站运作的“快递员”作用。
As we imagine, without a cargo transportation system, the station would suffer from the shortage of energy and supplies, causing it to return to Earth ahead of the designated time.
如果没有货物运输系统,空间站就会耗尽能源和其他基本必需品,从而导致在指定时间之前返回地球。
