President Xi Emphasized the Development of Legal Talents
习近平强调抓好法治人才培养
On Wednesday, Xi Jinping, the president of China, emphasized that we should improve the development of legal talents while visiting the China University of Political Science and Law. He said that the comprehensive advancement of the law was a long-term and important historic mission, which was related to our Party’s governing and rejuvenating the country, to the people’s happiness and well-being, and to the development of the Party and the country.
国家主席习近平星期三在中国政法大学考察时强调要抓好法治人才培养。他谈到，全面推进依法治国是一项长期而重大的历史任务，事关我们党执政兴国，事关人民幸福安康，事关党和国家事业发展。
Xi attached great importance to it that we should look into the future, lay a good foundation and build a greater system. Meanwhile, we should improve the rule of law. If the improvement of legal talents failed, the comprehensive advancement of the rule of law can’t be done either. Besides, students should actively learn from the achievements of the rules in other countries. However, students should absorb them selectively, without uncritical acceptance.
习近平强调，推进全面依法治国要着眼长远、打好基础、建好制度。并且要推进法治建设。如果法治人才培养上不去，全面依法治国就不可能做好。而且同学们对世界上的优秀法治文明成果，要积极吸收借鉴，也要有选择地吸收，不能照搬照抄。
During the visitation, Xi asked the youth to set a high value on their time to study more and more, and absorb knowledge like sponge. He also said that youth time is a critical period to develop and train a person’s abilities and ways of thinking. The youth should keep the sensitivity to new things, be courageous to practice and find the truth.
在视察中，习近平强调广大青年要惜时如金抓学习，需要像海绵汲水一样汲取知识。他指出，青年时期是培养和训练科学思维方法和思维能力的关键时期，要保持对新事物的敏锐，勇于开拓实践，探寻真理。

关于立夏的五件事
Start of Summer, the 7th term of the year, begins on May 5th and ends on May 20th this year.Start of Summer signals the transition of seasons. On this day, the sun's rays reach an angle of 45 degrees to the earth. The temperature will rise quickly during this period, yet in northern China weather remains mild.

一年中的第七个节气立夏，从五月五日到五月二十日结束。立夏标志着季节的更替和夏天的到来。在这日太阳到达黄经45度，并且在此节气中气温将快速上升。到目前为止中国北方地区仍然保持气候温和。下面是关于立夏的五件事。
Greeting Start of Summer
The term Start of Summer was originated at the end of the Warring States Period (239BC). Since it is a crucial time for the harvest of summer crops such as wheat and canola, ancient Chinese emperors in different dynasties attached great importance to the Start of Summer.
迎接立夏的到来
立夏节气可追溯至战国时期，在夏播作物（如小麦、菜籽油）的重要丰收时节，中国不同朝代的古代帝王都对立夏节气十分重视。
Checking one's weight
The custom of weighing people at the Start of Summer originated from the Three Kingdoms Period (220-180) and prevails in South China today. It was believed this practice would bring health and good luck to the people weighted.It is said those who were weighed would stay healthy in the hot summer and those who weren't would suffer illness.
称体重的习俗
关于在立夏节气时称体重的习俗源自于三国时期，并且在中国南方现今仍旧流行。这个习俗一直被认为会带来健康和好运，据说称重的人们会在整个夏天保持健康而反之则会遭受疾病。
Eating eggs
In ancient China, people believed a round egg symbolized a happy life and eating eggs on the day of Start of Summer was a prayer for good health. They put leftover tea into boiled water together with eggs and the original "tea egg" was created. Later people improved cooking methods and added spices to the eggs to make them taste delicious. Today tea egg has become a traditional snack in China.
吃鸡蛋
在古代中国，人们认为一个圆鸡蛋意味着幸福的生活，并且在立夏吃鸡蛋是对于健康的美好祝愿。人们将茶叶渣和烧开的水一起煮，做成“茶叶蛋”。后来人们提高了制作方法的技巧，加入了香料使其味道更佳。现在茶叶蛋已经成为中国的传统小吃。
Egg Competitions
Parents will prepare boiled eggs and put them in a knitted bag before hanging them on their child's chest.When at school, children gather together to play egg competitions by colliding each other's eggs in pairs and the one whose egg is not broken wins.
鸡蛋比赛
人们会将煮熟的鸡蛋放入孩子们背的编织袋中，在学校时孩子们聚集在一起进行“撞鸡蛋”比赛，谁的鸡蛋没有碎就赢了比赛。
Take care of the heart
According to Chinese traditional medicine, Start of Summer is a key time to moisten the heart. When the weather grows hotter, dampness and heat can affect human health. Food rich in vitamins and cool in nature is highly recommended. Vegetables, such as cucumber, tomato, watercress and celery and fruits that include watermelon, pear and strawberry are top recommendations.
照顾好你的心脏
根据中医的说法，立夏时节是滋润心肺的好时节。随着气温的上升，湿气和暑气会影响人们身体健康。此时应多吃富含维他命和清热解暑的食物。蔬菜（如黄瓜、西红柿、西洋菜、芹菜）和水果（如西瓜、梨、草莓）是最佳选择。

The Online Version Of China’s National Encyclopedia Will Be Launched In 2018
《中国大百科全书》在线版将会在2018年推出
China is to launch an online version of its national encyclopedia next year, to compete with Wikipedia.
中国计划在明年推出国家级的《中国大百科全书》在线版本,将可与维基百科匹敌。
Officials said that more than 20,000 people had been hired to work on this project, which will feature 300,000 entries with about 1,000 words each.
官方人员表示，2万多名专家学者参与了编纂工作，其内容达30万余条，每条约1000字。
Unlike Wikipedia, it will be created by selected scholars from state-run universities but not be openly edited by volunteers.
与维基百科不同，这本书是由从全国高校和研究机构挑选出来的专家学者编撰的，而不是由志愿者公开编辑。
It will take the state into direct competition with local companies that have launched their own online encyclopedias - such as Baidu, Qihu 360 and the largest platform, Wikipedia.
《中国大百科全书》的在线版本将会与已经推出了自己的在线百科全书的本土公司形成直接的竞争，比如百度和奇虎360，也包括最大的平台维基百科。
Currently, users on the mainland can get some Wikipedia contents, but searches for sensitive topics such as the Dalai Lama and President Xi Jinping are blocked.
目前，中国大陆的用户可以读取维基百科的一部分内容，但是搜索敏感主题会受到限制，比如达赖喇嘛、习近平主席。
TahaYasseri, a research fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute, told the BBC: "The need for information in China makes people use Wikipedia through the usual anti-filtering tools, and this is far from ideal for an authoritarian state. So, this initiative is to attract more users towards the state-approved contents."
牛津大学互联网研究所的研究员TahaYasseri告诉BBC：“在中国，对于信息的需求让人们通过常见的反过滤工具来使用维基百科，对于一个威权国家来说这远不够理想。所以，这一主动行动的目的在于把更多的用户吸引到国家认可的内容上来。”

Is pizza healthy?
披萨到底健不健康？
Pizza is healthy.And it isn’t healthy.Depending on the type of crust,the amount of cheese and the toppings used,pizza can rank anywhere from nutritionally decent to a diet disaster.Sodium from tomato sauce and cheese is rich in pizzas,so if you are watching your salt intake,you should eat with caution.Of course,the size of the slice and the number of slices you eat count,too.
披萨很健康，但也不健康。这取决于它饼皮的类型，芝士的量和饼皮上的食材，披萨可以营养丰富，也可以是健康饮食的克星。因为健康披萨的番茄酱和芝士中有丰富的钠含量，所以如果你在控制钠的摄入量的话，吃披萨时你就该小心了。当然，披萨块的大小和你吃的数量同样应该考虑进去。
Pizza pros include the fact that it offers calcium from cheese and disease-fighting lycopene from tomatoes.And pizza crust made with whole-wheat flour is healthier than regular white crust,as it offers whole grains and fiber and is digested more slowly than refined grains.
披萨的优点在于，它里面的芝士富含钙元素，番茄中的番茄红素则有抵抗疾病的功效。由全麦面粉做成的饼皮比普通精白面粉做成的饼皮要健康，它能为我们提供全谷物和纤维素，而且比细粮消化得更慢。
But what you put on your pizza can significantly impact its nutritional value.Toppings such pepperoni,sausage and extra cheese can boost saturated fat,sodium and calories,while slices made with thinner crusts and topped with veggies tend to have lower calorie,saturated fat and sodium counts.
但是你在披萨上所放的食材可以在很大程度上影响披萨的营养价值。诸如意大利辣香肠、香肠和过量的芝士含有很多饱和脂肪、钠以及卡路里。薄一点的饼皮上配蔬菜会含有更低的卡路里、饱和脂肪和钠含量。
Frozen pizzas can be a convenient dinner,but they too can vary in terms of ingredients and nutritional value, for they have different sodium content, so it’s important to read labels carefully.If you enjoy pizza on a regular basis,try making it at home using healthier ingredients,such as whole-wheat English muffins,part-skim mozzarella cheese and tomato to top it with lots of vegetables;The more colorful your pizza,the better!
速冻披萨可以是简易晚餐的选择，但他们同样可以包含不同的食材，因此也有着不同的营养价值，特别是钠含量的多少，因此仔细看营养成分表就很重要。如果你平时定期就想吃顿披萨，尽量在家里自己做，用些健康的食材，比如安谷物的英国松饼，部分脱脂的马苏里奶酪以及不加盐的番茄酱。别忘了多多加上蔬菜，披萨的颜色越多样，越健康！
