英语新闻丨“莎头组合”连续第三次夺得世乒赛混双冠军

The United States' repeated and unpredictable policy shifts have not only enhanced the risk of deepening its economic and trade frictions with China, but have also weakened its credibility in the international market, analysts and exporters said on Monday.分析人士和出口商周一表示，美国反复无常、不可预测的政策变化，不仅增加了加深其与中国经贸摩擦的风险，也削弱了其在国际市场上的信誉。These policy shifts are undermining the confidence of global businesses and investors in US policies, market conditions and assets, they added.他们补充道，这些政策变化正在削弱全球企业和投资者对美国政策、市场状况及资产的信心。Their remarks came after the Ministry of Commerce urged the US to promptly rectify its wrongful actions. In a statement issued on Monday, the ministry said the US has seriously undermined the consensus reached during the China-US economic and trade talks on May 12 in Geneva, Switzerland, by repeatedly imposing discriminatory and restrictive measures on China.他们的言论是在中国商务部敦促美国立即纠正错误做法之后发表的。商务部在周一发表的声明中表示，美国一再对中国实施歧视性和限制性措施，严重损害了5月12日在瑞士日内瓦举行的中美经贸会谈中达成的共识。The measures include issuing export control guidance for artificial intelligence chips, halting sales of chip design software to China, and announcing the revocation of visas for Chinese students.这些措施包括发布人工智能芯片出口管制指引、停止向中国出售芯片设计软件，以及宣布撤销中国学生签证。The ministry warned that if the US continues to undermine China's interests, China will adopt effective measures to defend its legitimate rights and interests.商务部警告称，如果美方继续损害中方利益，中方将采取有效措施维护自身合法权益。Describing the outcomes of the Geneva talks as "hard-won", the ministry said the US has unilaterally and repeatedly triggered frictions, exacerbating uncertainty and instability in bilateral economic and trade relations.中国商务部将日内瓦会谈的成果描述为“来之不易”，并表示美方单方面、反复挑起摩擦，加剧了双边经贸关系的不确定性和不稳定性。Based on the consensus reached during the talks, China has temporarily canceled or suspended relevant tariff and nontariff countermeasures against the US' "reciprocal tariffs", the ministry said.商务部表示，基于会谈期间达成的共识，中方已暂时取消或暂停针对美方“对等关税”实施的相关关税和非关税反制措施。Wan Zhe, a professor of international trade at Beijing Normal University, said the US tariffs are essentially a radical attempt to politicize and instrumentalize trade issues.北京师范大学国际贸易教授万喆表示，美国的关税本质上是将贸易问题政治化和工具化的激进尝试。"The erratic and unpredictable nature of these tariff and economic measures has damaged the US' credibility in the global economy and dented global investors' confidence in the US market," Wan said, adding that the consequences will come at a steep cost for both its economy and international standing.万喆说：“这些关税和经济措施反复无常、不可预测的性质，损害了美国在全球经济中的信誉，削弱了全球投资者对美国市场的信心。”她补充说，其后果将给美国经济和国际地位带来高昂代价。Zak Stambor, an analyst at eMarketer Inc, a market research company based in New York City, said the US' "ever-shifting trade policies" mean "navigating an increasingly unpredictable landscape", making life and any attempts at financial planning harder for both manufacturers and consumers.纽约市场研究公司eMarketer的分析师扎克·斯坦博表示，美国“不断变化的贸易政策”意味着要“在一个日益不可预测的环境中航行”，这使得制造商和消费者的生活以及任何进行财务规划的尝试都变得更加困难。"The policies in place today may well shift tomorrow, making medium-term planning challenging and long-term planning nearly impossible," he said. "No wonder so many US companies are pulling their guidance altogether."他说：“今天的政策明天就可能改变，这使得中期规划充满挑战，长期规划几乎不可能。难怪这么多美国公司干脆撤回了业绩指引。”The frustration is not limited to US companies.叫苦不迭的不仅仅是美国公司。On Saturday, the European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, said, "We strongly regret the announced increase of US tariffs on steel imports from 25 percent to 50 percent."周六，欧盟执行机构欧盟委员会表示：“我们对美国宣布将钢铁进口关税从25%提高到50%深表遗憾。”The US' announcement "adds further uncertainty to the global economy and increases costs for consumers and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic", the commission said, adding that the plan also undermines efforts to bring an end to the wider tariff standoff.欧盟委员会表示，美国的公告“给全球经济增添了更多不确定性，并增加了大西洋两岸消费者和企业的成本”，并补充说该计划还破坏了结束更广泛关税僵局的努力。Gao Lingyun, a researcher specializing in international trade at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, said the US' broader goals of reshoring manufacturing and maintaining economic hegemony cannot be addressed simply by imposing tariffs and other trade remedy measures on its trading partners.中国社会科学院（北京）国际贸易研究员高凌云表示，美国通过将制造业回流本土和维持经济霸权等更广泛的目标，不可能仅仅通过对其贸易伙伴加征关税和实施其他贸易救济措施就得以解决。In addition to the tariffs, the US has also been resorting to technological blockades and investment restrictions in its bid to contain China. Such multifaceted frictions are likely to be long-term, Gao said.高凌云说，除了关税之外，美国还一直在诉诸技术封锁和投资限制以遏制中国。这种多方面摩擦很可能是长期性的。Diversifying markets市场多元化Ningbo Lemeijia Electric Equipment Technology, a home appliance manufacturer based in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, and long-term supplier to the US market, said the company has actively communicated with its US partners and explored opportunities to bag more orders after the Geneva talks.总部位于浙江省宁波市的家电制造商、美国市场的长期供应商宁波乐美佳电器科技有限公司表示，在日内瓦会谈后，公司已积极与美国合作伙伴沟通，并探索拿到更多订单的机会。Even though the company's exports to the US surged 16.9 percent year-on-year to 220 million yuan ($31 million) last year, Luo Lujin, president of Ningbo Lemeijia, said the company has deployed more resources and manpower this year to cultivate emerging markets, especially those in Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, in order to mitigate the risks brought by unilateralism and geopolitical tensions.尽管该公司去年对美出口额同比增长16.9%，达到2.2亿元人民币（3100万美元），但宁波乐美佳总裁罗鲁津表示，今年公司已投入更多资源和人力来开拓新兴市场，特别是东南亚、拉丁美洲和中东的市场，以减轻单边主义和地缘政治紧张带来的风险。"Global trade flows are being seriously hampered by supply chain breakdowns, high tariff rates and other challenges. This makes diversification not just an option, but an essential strategy for survival," Luo said.罗鲁津说：“全球贸易流动正受到供应链中断、高关税和其他挑战的严重阻碍。这使得多元化不仅是一种选择，更是一种生存必需之策。”trade friction贸易摩擦countermeasures/ˈkaʊntəˌmɛʒəz/n.对策;对抗措施emerging markets新兴市场trade flows贸易流通tariff standoff关税僵局

Beijing has urged Washington to protect the interests of international students amid reports that the United States government has halted the scheduling of new interviews for student visa applicants.针对美国政府暂停安排学生签证申请人新面签的报道，北京已敦促华盛顿方面切实保障国际学生权益。"China believes that education cooperation and academic exchanges should not be disrupted," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said on Wednesday.外交部发言人毛宁周三表示：“中方认为教育合作与学术交流不应受到干扰。”Mao made the remark after foreign media reported that the US government is considering requiring all foreign students applying to study in the US to undergo social media vetting, and in preparation for the vetting, is ordering US embassies and consular sections to pause scheduling new interviews for such visa applicants.此前，外媒报道称，美国政府正考虑要求所有赴美留学的外国学生接受社交媒体的审查，并为此暂停美国使领馆对该类签证申请人新的签证面谈。The spokeswoman said that China is following the current development, which comes days after the US government revoked Harvard University's ability to enroll international students. The revocation has been temporarily blocked by a court restraining order.毛宁指出，中方正密切关注事态发展。此前数日，美国政府刚取消哈佛大学招收国际学生的资格，该决定现已被法院限制令临时叫停。"We urge the US to protect the lawful and legitimate rights and interests of all international students, including those from China," Mao added.她强调：“我们敦促美方切实保障包括中国留学生在内的所有国际学生的合法权益。”In an interview with China Media Group on Wednesday, a staff member of the US embassy in Beijing said the embassy has not received relevant information, and visa applications and interviews are proceeding as usual.在周三接受中国环球电视网采访时，美国驻华大使馆工作人员表示未收到相关信息，签证申请及面签程序均正常进行。A 20-year-old Chinese student, who is majoring in computer science at a US university, said the reported measure will not affect his studies in the US, because he already has a long-term student visa.一位就读于美国大学计算机专业的20岁中国留学生表示，该政策不会影响其学业，因其已持有长期学生签证。However, those currently applying for majors at US universities may feel anxious about the move, he said, adding that the US is not as welcoming for international students as it used to be.但他指出，当前正在申请美国院校的学生可能因此焦虑，并坦言“美国对国际学生的欢迎程度已不如往昔”。According to a report released on Friday by New Oriental Education and Technology Group, an education company in China, the US has been the second most popular country for Chinese students who intend to study abroad for six years in a row.据中国的教育公司，新东方教育科技集团上周五发布的报告显示，美国已连续六年位居中国留学生意向目的地第二位。However, the US government has stepped up its crackdown on international students this year, including by abruptly terminating their legal status.然而今年以来，美政府持续加大对国际学生的限制力度，包括突然终止其合法身份等举措。halt/hɔ:lt/v.使停止;停止，终止vet/vet/v.审查;仔细检查legitimate rights合法权利embassy/ˈembəsi/n.大使馆；使馆官员crackdown/ˈkrækdaʊn/v.打击；镇压

The number of students who registered for this year's national college entrance examination, or gaokao, has reached 13.35 million, a drop of 70,000 from the previous year, the Ministry of Education said on Wednesday.教育部周三表示，今年全国高考报名人数达1335万，较去年减少7万人。Local authorities have been urged to ensure a safe and fair examination, which will begin on June 7.教育部要求当地政府全力保障6月7日高考安全平稳、公平公正。To bolster exam security, the ministry said in an online statement that risk assessments will be strengthened, regulations updated and checks intensified at key locations such as printing centers.为强化考试安全，教育部在公告中表示将加强风险研判、完善规章制度，并对试卷印制点等重点场所加大检查力度。Authorities are also cracking down on exam cheating through stricter monitoring, tighter security checks at testing centers and conducting public campaigns targeting exam-related fraud. Integrity education for students will also be emphasized.有关部门正通过严格监控、考点安检升级及防范考试作弊专项宣传教育等措施打击舞弊行为，同时也将加强对考生的诚信教育。Several provinces, including Jiangxi and Hubei, are introducing artificial intelligence-powered surveillance systems in exam rooms this year.今年江西、湖北等多省将在考场引入人工智能巡查系统。In a recent letter to students, the Ganzhou education examination center in Jiangxi said AI systems will monitor test-takers in real time, flagging suspicious behavior or rule violations for review by exam officials.江西省赣州市教育考试中心近日致信考生称，AI系统将实时监测考生行为，自动标记可疑动作或违规行为供监考人员复核。Hubei province is also adopting the technology, combining it with ID verification, smart security screenings and human pat-downs at exam center entrances. Inside testing rooms, monitoring will involve human proctors, video surveillance and mobile invigilators.湖北省除采用该技术外，还在考点入口设置身份核验、智能安检门及人工安检三重关卡，考场内实行现场监考、视频监考、流动巡考的立体监管。The AI system will detect actions such as whispering, looking around, copying, answering questions too early or too late, and the use or possession of prohibited items.AI系统可识别交头接耳、左顾右盼、抄袭舞弊、提前或延迟答题、携带及使用违禁物品等行为。Confirmed violations will lead to penalties, the provincial education examination center said.省级教育考试院表示，考生的违规行为经查证属实将受到处罚。The ministry said it will provide comprehensive support services for students, including help with transportation, lodging and psychological counseling.教育部称将为考生提供交通、住宿、心理疏导等全方位服务保障。More than 14,000 students with disabilities will receive specialized accommodations, including 16 who are visually impaired.超过1.4万余名残疾考生将得到特殊照顾，（含16名视力有障碍的考生）。Guidance on college applications and choices will also be enhanced through upgraded online tools and teacher training. The ministry added it will actively combat misleading advertising and fraud in the admissions process.教育部补充道，通过优化志愿填报咨询服务平台与加强教师培训，将强化高校招生指导，并重点整治录取环节虚假招生宣传等违规行为。national college entrance examination高考integrity education诚信教育 invigilator/ɪnˈvɪdʒɪleɪtə(r)/n. 监考员；监视器test-takers考生detect/dɪˈtekt/v.发现；查明；测出pat-down搜身；搜身检查

To comprehensively enhance residents' consumption capacity and market vitality, the city of Mianyang in Southwest China's Sichuan Province has proposed piloting a 4.5-day flexible workweek system, encouraging eligible regions to implement a "Friday afternoon plus weekend" 2.5-day leave model.为全面提升居民消费能力和市场活力，位于中国西南部的四川省绵阳市提出试行4.5天弹性工作制，鼓励符合条件的地区实行“周五下午+周末”2.5天的休假模式。The Mianyang Municipal Commerce Bureau recently issued the 2025 work plan for the city's consumption revitalization initiative, proposing seven core actions comprising 29 specific measures to enhance local residents' consumption capacity and market vitality, the Xinhua News Agency reported.据新华社报道，绵阳市商务局近日印发了《绵阳市提振消费专项行动2025年工作清单》，提出了七大核心行动，共29项具体措施，旨在提升居民消费能力和市场活力。The sixth action focuses on the optimization of consumption environments with the implementation of leave initiatives, said the report.报道称，第六项行动重点是优化消费环境，落实休假举措。Relevant departments are asked to ensure full implementation of annual leave and paid leave systems, encourage flexible scheduling for companies and promote simultaneous leaves for couples, Xinhua reported.据新华社报道，要求有关部门确保全面落实年休假和带薪休假制度，鼓励企业灵活安排工作时间，并推行夫妻双方同步休假。Notably, the plan also advocates for a 4.5-day flexible workweek and encourages eligible regions to adopt a "Friday afternoon plus weekend" 2.5-day leave model, per Xinhua.值得注意的是，据新华社报道，该方案还倡导每周4.5天弹性工作制，并鼓励符合条件的地区实行“周五下午加周末”2.5天的带薪休假模式。An official from the Mianyang Municipal Commerce Bureau, who requested to remain anonymous, told the Global Times on Monday that, as the lead authority for consumption promotion, the bureau proposed the model as an exploratory initiative under the framework of implementing central and provincial government policies to boost consumption.绵阳市商务局一位不愿透露姓名的官员周一向《环球时报》表示，作为消费促进工作的牵头部门，该局提出该模式是在落实中央和省级促进消费政策框架下的一项探索性举措。The proposal quickly became a trending topic on social media platform Sina Weibo, generating 210 million views and 55,000 discussions by 1 pm Monday. Many netizens expressed hopes for province-wide implementation.该方案迅速成为社交媒体平台新浪微博的热门话题，截至周一下午1点，阅读量已达2.1亿次，讨论量达5.5万次。许多网友表示希望该方案能在全省范围内推广。A Mianyang resident surnamed Yang told the Global Times that extended weekends would allow more leisurely travel. "It takes about five hours to drive from Mianyang to the Siguniang Mountain scenic area, which is equivalent to half a day," noting that an extra half day would mean the sightseeing time wouldn't be so rushed, and they could better enjoy the local scenery.一位姓杨的绵阳居民告诉《环球时报》，延长周末将使人们有更多时间享受休闲旅行。“从绵阳开车到四姑娘山景区大概需要5个小时，相当于半天时间。”他表示，多出半天时间，观光时间就不会那么紧张，可以更好地欣赏当地的风景。A Chengdu-based employee surnamed Xu, whose child currently lives in Mianyang, said that he currently drives to Mianyang every Saturday morning and returns to Chengdu Sunday afternoon, adding that, excluding travel time, he and his wife only have about a day to spend with their child.一位目前在成都工作、孩子住在绵阳的徐性员工表示，自己现在每周六早上开车去绵阳，周日下午返回成都。除去路上的时间，他和妻子能陪伴孩子的时间只有一天左右。"The time is really short, just when we start to get close to our child, we have to head back," Xu said, expressing a strong hope that this initiative can be further implemented, so that he can spend more time with his child.“时间真的太短了，刚刚和孩子亲近一点，就得离开了。”徐先生说，他非常希望这项举措能够进一步落实，这样他就能有更多时间陪伴孩子了。However, some netizens question the practical implementation of this initiative, wondering whether it will be put into effect and whether implementing this initiative in some public service institutions would cause an inconvenience.然而，一些网友对这项举措的具体实施情况提出了质疑，他们担心这项举措是否会真正落地，以及在一些公共服务机构实施这项举措是否会造成不便。The official from the bureau clarified that the specific implementation rules for the 2.5-day weekend leave have not yet been introduced. 该局负责人澄清，周末2.5天休假的具体实施细则尚未出台。"We need to combine specific circumstances and conduct discussions and research with other departments," the official noted.“我们需要结合具体情况，与其他部门进行讨论研究。”该工作人员指出。The 2.5-day weekend initiative is not novel in China. Over the past years, more than 10 provinces including North China's Hebei Province, East China's Jiangxi Province and Southwest China's Chongqing Municipality have proposed similar initiatives, China Central Television (CCTV) News reported.周末2.5天休假在中国并非新鲜事。据中国中央电视台（CCTV）新闻报道，过去几年，包括河北省、江西省和重庆市在内的10多个省份都提出了类似的举措。According to the report, Longnan in Gansu Province also encouraged that all administrative and public institutions should facilitate Friday afternoon leave for officials and employees after essential services, provided they complete required working hours through schedule adjustments, CCTV News reported.据报道，甘肃省陇南市也鼓励所有行政事业单位，在通过调整作息时间完成规定工作时间的前提下，为干部职工提供周五下午的休假。Professor Yang Haiyang, dean of the Research Institute of Social Development at Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, said that reducing working hours is an inevitable trend of social and economic development and civilizational progress, but its promotion needs to be combined with practical conditions to avoid a one-size-fits-all approach, according to the People's Daily.西南财经大学社会发展研究院院长杨海洋教授在接受《人民日报》采访时表示，缩短工作时间是社会经济发展和文明进步的必然趋势，但推广时应结合实际情况，避免“一刀切”。flexible workweek弹性工作周municipal/mjuːˈnɪsɪpl/adj.市政的；地方政府的leave model休假模式one-size-fits-alladj.一刀切的

China's top court has underscored the importance of protecting people's right to reputation in cyberspace, urging judges to take a firm stance against online misconduct among fan groups and to encourage rational support for celebrities.中国最高人民法院强调了保护公民网络名誉权的重要性，敦促法官对粉丝群体中的网络不当行为采取坚决立场，并鼓励理性追星。In a case disclosed on Monday, the Supreme People's Court highlighted chaotic online behavior such as verbal abuse, inciting conflict and spreading rumors within highly organized fan circles known as fanquan. The court said these erratic actions, which have triggered frequent public complaints, should be strictly addressed under the Civil Code.在周一披露的一起案件中，最高人民法院强调了在组织严密的粉丝圈（即“粉圈”）中存在的诸如辱骂、煽动冲突和散布谣言等网络乱象。法院表示，这些引发公众投诉的不规范行为应根据《民法典》予以严格处理。Fan circles are composed of devoted supporters who share information about their idols and voluntarily contribute time, money and skills to boost the popularity of performers, typically pop stars or actors.粉丝圈由忠实的粉丝组成，他们分享偶像的信息，并自愿贡献时间、金钱和技能来提升艺人（通常是流行歌星或演员）的知名度。In the disclosed case, a netizen surnamed Wei and three others were fans of different celebrities. After the others posted negative content about Wei's idol online, Wei reported them to the internet regulator.在披露的案件中，一位姓魏的网友和其他三人是不同明星的粉丝。在其他人在网上发布了关于魏某的偶像的负面内容后，魏某向互联网监管机构举报了他们。Angered by Wei's actions, the three published additional posts on social media, including ones labeled "suspect Wei", and shared Wei's private photos and links to Wei's Weibo account. Wei filed a lawsuit in a local court.三人对魏某的行为感到愤怒，在社交媒体上发布了更多帖子，其中包括一些带有“嫌疑人魏某”标签的帖子，并分享了魏某的私人照片及其微博账户链接。魏某向当地法院提起诉讼。The court ruled that the posts constituted personal insults and infringed on Wei's right to reputation. It ordered the defendants to publicly apologize on their Weibo accounts and keep the apology pinned for one week. The court also awarded Wei compensation for emotional distress.法院裁定，这些帖子构成人身侮辱，侵犯了魏某的名誉权。法院判令被告在其微博账户上公开道歉，并将道歉声明保留一周。法院还判令其支付精神损害赔偿金。The top court praised the ruling, saying it clarified that online insults and defamation constitute civil infringements and established clear boundaries for behavior in online fan communities.最高法院对这项裁决表示赞赏，称其明确了网络侮辱和诽谤构成民事侵权，并为网络粉丝群体的行为设定了明确的界限。Citing the Civil Code, the court reiterated that no individual or organization may harm another person's reputation through insult or defamation, and victims have the right to seek compensation.法院援引《民法典》重申，任何个人或组织不得以侮辱、诽谤等方式损害他人名誉，受害者有权寻求赔偿。"The ruling by the grassroots court will help guide internet users to comment responsibly and contribute to a cleaner online environment," the court said.法院表示：“基层法院的这项裁决将有助于引导网民理性评论，共建清朗网络环境。”The Supreme People's Court also released five additional cases on Monday, showcasing efforts to protect public interests and enforce the Civil Code. The cases included rulings on safeguarding the rights of the elderly and addressing workplace sexual harassment.最高人民法院周一还发布了五起案件，展现了法院在维护公共利益和执行《民法典》方面所做的努力。这些案件包括关于保障老年人权益和解决职场性骚扰问题的判决。"The release of these cases highlights courts' ongoing efforts to respond to public concerns, improve people's lives and implement the Civil Code rigorously," the top court said.最高法院表示：“这些案件的发布凸显了法院持续回应公众关切、改善民生和严格实施《民法典》的努力。”The Civil Code, which took effect in January 2021, is China's first piece of legislation formally titled a "code" and plays a foundational role in regulating civil affairs.《民法典》于2021年1月生效，是中国第一部正式以“法典”命名的法律，在规范民事事务方面发挥着基础性作用。defamation/ˌdefəˈmeɪʃn/n.诽谤；中伤infringement/ɪnˈfrɪndʒmənt/n.侵犯；违背distress/dɪˈstres/n.痛苦；悲伤grassroots court基层法院

Finding a better solution for visual disorders such as color blindness, a team of scientists from home and abroad have jointly devised a unique contact lens that surpasses current human visual capabilities. These contact lenses capture things even naked eyes cannot see, according to the researchers.为了更好地解决色盲等视觉障碍，由国内外科学家组成的研究团队联合发明了一种独特的隐形眼镜，其性能超越了人类目前的视觉能力。据研究人员称，这种隐形眼镜能够捕捉肉眼无法看到的东西。In their research, the scientists, including those from the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, Anhui province, and Fudan University in Shanghai, ingeniously combined rare earth particles emitting multiple fluorescent signals with contact lenses.在这项研究中，来自安徽省合肥市的中国科学技术大学和上海市的复旦大学的科学家们巧妙地将发射多种荧光信号的稀土粒子与隐形眼镜结合在一起。By wearing such special lenses, human eyes can perceive light beyond the visible spectrum into the near-infrared range, allowing individuals to access multi-dimensional information in terms of time, space, and color from near-infrared light.通过佩戴这种特殊的隐形眼镜，人眼可以感知到可见光谱之外直至近红外波段的光，从而能够从近红外光中获取时间、空间和颜色等多维信息。"With the aid of such invisible glasses, people can see things that were previously invisible to them," said Zhang Fan, one of the lead researchers on the team and a professor of chemistry from Fudan University.“借助这种隐形眼镜，人们可以看到以前看不见的东西。”该团队的主要研究员之一、复旦大学化学教授张凡说道。"And for individuals suffering from color blindness, by supplementing visible light information with near-infrared wavelengths, wearers can enhance their ability to differentiate between colors like red and green," he said.他说：“对于色盲患者来说，通过在可见光信息中添加近红外波长，佩戴者可以增强区分红色和绿色等颜色的能力。”The research results also hold vast application potentials in fields, such as information processing and visual assistance technologies, said the researchers.研究人员表示，该研究成果在信息处理和视觉辅助技术等领域也具有巨大的应用潜力。"For example, information encoding, transmission and decryption can all be carried out in the near-infrared band. If using near-infrared light to light up particular information such as patterns, only those who wear the special contact lenses can see the patterns, while those who don't will never see them as the near-infrared bands are outside the range of their visual perception," said Zhang.“例如，信息的编码、传输和解密都可以在近红外波段进行。如果用近红外光照射特定的信息，比如图案，只有佩戴特殊隐形眼镜的人才能看到这些图案，而没有佩戴的人则永远看不到，因为近红外波段超出了他们的视觉感知范围。”张凡说道。Scientists explained that there are cone cells on human's retina that respond specifically to the primary colors of red, green and blue. The proportion of activation in these cells responding to the three colors determines the colors that people see.科学家解释说，人类视网膜上存在专门对红、绿、蓝三原色做出反应的视锥细胞。这些细胞对这三种颜色做出反应的激活比例决定了人们看到的颜色。However, compared to the broad optical spectrum in nature, the human eye can only perceive wavelengths ranging from 400 to 700 nanometers, leading to the neglect of a significant amount of potential information. By extending perception to the near-infrared range, 700 to 2,500 nanometers, the technology may open new possibilities for pushing boundaries for human vision.然而，与自然界广阔的光谱相比，人眼只能感知400至700纳米的波长，导致大量潜在信息被忽略。通过将感知范围扩展至700至2500纳米的近红外波段，该技术或将为突破人类视觉界限开辟新的可能性。"Rare earth elements possess unique optical properties, allowing the conversion of different colors of light through near-infrared excitation. By discerning the fluorescence colors of nano-particles, individuals can identify near-infrared wavelengths invisible to the naked eye, realizing the recognition of near-infrared 'colors'," said Chen Zihan, a researcher on the team from Fudan University.复旦大学团队的研究人员陈子晗表示：“稀土元素拥有独特的光学特性，能够通过近红外激发，将不同颜色的光进行转换。通过辨别纳米颗粒的荧光颜色，人们可以识别肉眼不可见的近红外波长，实现对近红外‘颜色’的识别。”The team further modified the surface of the nano-particles and dispersed them in polymer solutions, ultimately creating highly transparent contact lenses.团队进一步修饰纳米颗粒表面，并将其分散在聚合物溶液中，最终制成高透明度的隐形眼镜。In their research, volunteers who wore the contact lenses were able to perceive near-infrared light through the fluorescence of red, green and blue visible wavelength bands, and distinguish various compositions of near-infrared light wavelengths and patterns. This demonstrated the effective visualization of near-infrared images using multi-color rare earth luminescent materials, said the scientists.在他们的研究中，佩戴隐形眼镜的志愿者能够通过红、绿、蓝可见光波段的荧光感知近红外光，并区分近红外光波长和图案的各种成分。科学家们表示，这证明了利用多色稀土发光材料可以有效地实现近红外图像的可视化。A paper about the research, a collaborative effort between domestic and international research institutions, was published in the journal Cell on Thursday.该项由国内外多家科研机构合作完成的研究论文已于周四发表在《细胞》杂志上。fluorescence/ˌflʊəˈresəns/n.荧光；荧光发射spectrum/ˈspektrəm/n.光谱；范围；幅度perceive/pəˈsiːv/v.感知，察觉；理解excitation/ˌɛksaɪˈteɪʃn/n.激发；激励；激发态

China and the European Union are stepping up cooperation as the United States ramps up tariff pressure and global trade fragmentation deepens, signaling the shared commitment of China and the EU to openness, stability and mutual benefit in an increasingly uncertain world, experts said.专家指出，在美国持续加码关税压力与全球贸易碎片化加剧的背景下，中国与欧盟正持续深化合作，这一动向彰显了双方在日益动荡的国际环境中坚守开放、稳定、互利原则的共同承诺。Chinese investment in the EU surged 47 percent year-on-year to 10 billion euros ($11.4 billion) in 2024, marking its first significant rebound since 2016.2024年中国对欧盟投资额同比增长47%,  达到100亿欧元（约合114亿美元），实现自2016年以来首次显著回升。The growth, driven by record-high greenfield investment and a revival of mergers and acquisitions, reflects the enduring complementarities between the two sides, according to a joint report released on Wednesday by the New York-based Rhodium Group and German think tank Mercator Institute for China Studies. Greenfield investment is a type of foreign direct investment in which a parent company starts a business operation in a foreign country from scratch.根据纽约荣鼎集团与德国墨卡托中国研究中心周三联合发布的报告，这一由创纪录的绿地投资和并购复苏驱动的增长，印证了中欧经济结构的持久互补性。报告特别说明，绿地投资作为外商直接投资模式，特指母公司在外国从零开始新建业务的投资行为。Analysts said the momentum underscores the strategic importance of China-EU economic ties at a time when Washington's unilateral tariff hikes threaten to upend global supply chains. Strengthening cooperation in green energy, digital infrastructure and smart manufacturing will not only serve both sides' development interests, but also help safeguard the multilateral trading system, they added.分析师表示，当前美国单边加征关税政策正威胁全球供应链稳定之际，中欧经贸往来升温态势凸显了双方经济关系的战略重要性。他们还表示，加强在绿色能源、数字基础设施和智能制造等领域的合作，不仅契合双方发展利益，更有助于维护多边贸易体系。China's greenfield investment in Europe increased for the third year in a row and reached an all-time high of 5.9 billion euros, while merger and acquisition investment more than doubled in 2024 to 4.1 billion euro, according to the report.中国在欧洲的绿地投资连续第三年增长，2024年达59亿欧元创历史新高，并购投资额同比翻番至41亿欧元。Chinese battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology, or CATL, emerged as the leading investor in 2024, accounting for 16 percent of total investment, mostly from the ongoing construction of its battery plant in Hungary, the report said.报告显示，中国电池巨头宁德时代（CATL）凭借匈牙利电池工厂的持续建设，以占总投资额16%的占比成为2024年主要投资方。Ding Chun, director of Shanghai-based Fudan University's Centre for European Studies, said, "China and the EU possess expansive common ground and enormous potential for cooperation in green energy, smart manufacturing and artificial intelligence."复旦大学欧洲研究中心主任丁纯表示：“中欧在绿色能源、智能制造和人工智能等领域拥有广阔合作空间与巨大发展潜力。”As of the end of 2024, EU enterprises had cumulatively invested more than $150 billion in China, data from the Ministry of Commerce showed.商务部数据显示，截至2024年底，欧盟企业累计对华投资超1500亿美元。China and Europe should work together to safeguard the stability of the multilateral trading system and global industrial chains, rather than allowing trade disputes to spiral into broader geopolitical conflicts, Ding said.丁纯指出，中欧应共同维护多边贸易体系和全球产业链稳定，避免让贸易争端升级为更广泛的地缘政治冲突。Last month, China and the EU floated the idea of lifting the tariffs on Chinese EVs through possible commitments to minimum prices, known as price undertakings for imported cars.上月，中欧双方就通过建立最低价格承诺机制（即进口汽车"价格承诺"制度）取消中国电动汽车关税展开可行性探讨。A further increase in China's investment in Europe is possible in 2025, the report said, noting that EU-China ties could improve amid the US' new trade war.报告认为，随着美国掀起新一轮贸易战，2025年中国对欧投资有望继续增长，中欧关系或将迎来改善契机。Simon Lichtenberg, the All China founding chairman of the Danish Chamber of Commerce in China, told China Daily that Europe has recognized the problems arising from being overly dependent on the US in the past and is now seeking to cultivate a more independent stance and perspective.中国丹麦商会创始全国主席李曦萌 (Simon Lichtenberg)向《中国日报》表示，欧洲已意识到过去过度依赖美国产生的问题，当前正着力培育更具独立性的立场与视角。This shifting mindset presents an opportunity for stronger China-EU cooperation, as both sides seek to navigate the complex geopolitical landscape, Lichtenberg said.他指出，这种思维转变为深化中欧合作提供机遇，双方可在复杂地缘政治格局中探寻共赢路径。"China's manufacturing capability is truly outstanding, perhaps the best in the world," he said. "If we do not leverage it, we would be sacrificing a crucial part of the global value."“中国制造业实力堪称卓越，或许堪称世界最佳。”他强调，“若不加以利用，我们将失去全球价值链中至关重要的一环。”"Now more than ever, we need to uphold global trade," Lichtenberg added. "Together we are stronger, and we can all stand to win if we work together."“当下比以往任何时候都更需维护全球贸易，”李曦萌强调，“团结使我们更加强大，通过合作，我们终将实现共赢。”Yao Ling, director of the European Institute at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, said that with combined economic might accounting for over one-third of global GDP and trade volume exceeding one-fourth of global trade, China and the EU stand as important economic partners, presenting immense opportunities for each other's development.商务部国际贸易经济合作研究院欧洲研究所所长姚铃表示，中欧经济总量占全球GDP三分之一以上，贸易额超全球贸易四分之一，作为重要经济伙伴为彼此发展提供巨大机遇。In particular, the deepening of China-EU cooperation within the framework of the global trading system could help mitigate the disruptive impact of Washington's unilateral and erratic tariff policies, Yao added.姚铃补充指出，特别是在全球贸易体系框架下深化中欧合作，将有助于缓解美国单边、反复无常加征关税政策所造成的破坏性影响。price undertakings价格承诺greenfield investment绿地投资from scratch从零开始; 从头做起leverage/ˈli:vərɪdʒ/v.利用smart manufacturing智能制造

Shanghai Disney Resort unveiled new smoking control measures on Monday during an outdoor smoking control roundtable, aimed at enhancing visitor experience and park operations.上海迪士尼度假区在周一举办的户外控烟圆桌会议上宣布了新的控烟举措，要全面提升游客体验与园区运营水平。The new measures, taking effect on May 29 ahead of World No Tobacco Day on May 31 and International Children's Day on June 1, include reducing designated smoking areas, upgrading no-smoking signage, and implementing a reminder card system.新措施将于5月29日生效，恰逢5月31日世界无烟日和6月1日国际儿童节前夕，具体措施包括缩减指定的吸烟区、升级禁烟标识以及推行提醒卡制度。Following a comprehensive review and assessment of existing smoking points, the resort will eliminate 24 smoking areas, cutting the total number by about half. Shanghai Disneyland will have 11 designated smoking areas.经过对现有吸烟点的全面审查与评估，园区将取消24处吸烟区，使总数减少约一半。调整后，上海迪士尼乐园将保留11处指定吸烟区。The adjustments focus on high-traffic zones where non-smoking visitors previously reported unavoidable exposure to smoke, and heavily congested secondary pathways. Several smoking points, including those near the main park entrance, will be relocated to optimize guest flow.此次调整重点关注游客流量密集区域——此前非吸烟游客曾反馈这些区域存在不可避免的二手烟暴露问题——以及拥堵严重的次要通道。部分吸烟点（包括主入口附近的吸烟区）将被重新规划，以优化客流。The resort's guest rules and regulations strictly prohibit smoking throughout the park except in designated areas, covering traditional tobacco products, e-cigarettes, and any other products that produce vapor or smoke.根据园区游客规则和规定，除指定吸烟区外，乐园内严格禁止吸食传统烟草制品、电子烟及其他任何产生烟雾或蒸汽的产品。The resort will implement a comprehensive update of its smoking-related signage. More than 2,800 "No Smoking" signs will be installed throughout the resort, including Shanghai Disneyland, Disneytown, Wishing Star Park, Shanghai Disneyland Hotel and Toy Story Hotel. The signs will feature both traditional and e-cigarette symbols and will be themed to match different areas of the resort.该度假区将对全园所有吸烟相关标识进行全面更新升级。整个度假区范围内将安装超过2800个“禁止吸烟”标识牌，覆盖上海迪士尼乐园、迪士尼小镇、星愿公园、上海迪士尼乐园酒店及玩具总动员酒店等区域。新标识将同时包含传统香烟和电子烟图示，并根据不同园区主题进行差异化设计。Staff training on smoking control will be intensified, with cast members receiving updated instruction on second-hand smoke risks, intervention methods, and current government policies. They will be equipped with bilingual reminder cards featuring QR codes directing visitors to the nearest designated smoking areas.在控烟管理方面，乐园将加强员工培训力度。所有演职人员将接受关于二手烟危害、劝阻技巧及现行政策法规的最新课程。工作人员将配备双语提示卡，卡片印有二维码可实时引导游客前往最近的指定吸烟区。As part of the resort's "Star Guest" program promoting civilized behavior, the resort has installed posters featuring Chief Bogo from Zootopia throughout the property, reminding guests to respect others by smoking only in designated areas.作为度假村“明星宾客”文明倡导计划的一部分，我们已在园区各处设置了《疯狂动物城》牛局长主题提示海报，通过这位深受喜爱的动画角色提醒游客文明游览，仅在指定吸烟区使用烟草制品。Updated smoking area information will be accessible through the resort's official platforms including its website and app. Visitors are advised to familiarize themselves with and follow the rules and regulations before visiting.更新后的吸烟区导览信息将通过度假村官网、官方APP等数字平台同步发布。敬请广大游客在到访前通过官方渠道了解相关规定，提前熟悉并自觉遵守园区行为准则。no-smoking signage禁烟标志e-cigarettes电子烟vapor/ˈveɪpə(r)/n.水汽；水蒸气QR codes二维码cast members演员；演员阵容

One of China's leading respiratory disease experts has called on authorities to step up prevention and treatment efforts for COVID-19 and influenza, warning that COVID infections remain at a high level across the country.我国著名呼吸疾病专家近日呼吁加强新冠与流感防控及诊疗工作，警示当前全国范围内新冠病毒感染仍处于较高流行水平。According to data from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the COVID-19 positivity rate among outpatient and emergency influenza-like illness cases nationwide rose from 7.5 percent to 16.2 percent between March 31 and May 4. Among hospitalized cases, the positivity rate increased from 3.3 percent to 6.3 percent over the same period.中国疾病预防控制中心监测数据显示，3月31日至5月4日期间，全国流感样病例门诊/急诊新冠阳性率从7.5%攀升至16.2%，住院病例阳性率同期由3.3%增至6.3%。Zhong Nanshan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said individuals who test positive—especially seniors with underlying health conditions—should begin taking medication within the first 48 hours of symptom onset to prevent serious illness.中国工程院院士钟南山强调，新冠检测阳性者——尤其是有基础疾病的老年患者——应在症状出现48小时内启动药物治疗，以预防重症发生。"Although the current outbreak of COVID-19 can be controlled, it still poses risks for people over age 65 with preexisting conditions," Zhong said at the opening ceremony of the 2025 Guangzhou Science and Technology Week on Saturday.“当前新冠疫情虽整体可控，但65岁以上基础疾病患者仍面临风险。”钟南山院士周六在2025广州科技周启动仪式上表示。"Residents should remain calm," he added, predicting that the latest wave of infections would decline after June.他预测本轮疫情将于六月后逐步回落，并呼吁“民众应保持冷静”。钟院士同时透露，其科研团队正着力研发专门针对5岁以下儿童的新冠病毒抗体及治疗方案。Zhong also said his team is working to develop COVID-19 antibodies and treatments specifically for children under age 5.钟南山院士同时透露，其团队正致力于研发专门针对5岁以下儿童的新冠抗体及治疗方案。"Research on COVID-19 drugs for this age group remains limited, and there's a lack of safety data," he said. "It is not scientifically sound to assume that drugs approved for older children are also suitable for those as young as 1."“针对该年龄段的药物研究仍存在空白，安全性数据尤为匮乏。简单套用大龄儿童获批药物的做法，对于小至1岁的幼儿而言缺乏科学依据。”He urged health authorities to prioritize prevention and treatment for both COVID-19 and influenza, and encouraged older adults to seek prompt care when symptoms arise.他敦促卫生部门强化新冠与流感的联防联控机制，建议老年群体出现症状后应及时就医。"Choosing the right medication is also important," he said, noting that two new influenza drugs have recently been launched in China.“选择合适的药物同样关键。”钟院士特别指出，国内近期已有两款新型流感药物上市。"China is not lagging behind foreign countries in developing influenza treatments and vaccines," Zhong added.“我国在流感治疗药物与疫苗研发领域已达到国际先进水平。”Li Tongzeng, chief physician at the infectious disease department of Beijing YouAn Hospital, said the proportion of severe COVID-19 cases has remained low over the past two to three years.北京佑安医院感染综合科主任医师李侗曾表示，过去两三年间新冠重症率持续处于低位。"Most patients recover on their own within a week," he said, though immunocompromised individuals, the elderly and those with chronic illnesses remain at risk of serious complications.“多数患者一周内可自行康复，但免疫功能低下者、老年群体及慢性病患者仍需警惕重症风险。”No new symptoms have been identified recently, Li said. Fever, sore throat, cough and muscle aches remain the most common, while a small number of patients may experience a loss of taste or smell.他指出，近期未发现新的临床症状，发热、咽痛、咳嗽及肌痛仍为主要症状，少数患者可能出现味觉或嗅觉异常。Like the influenza virus, he said, COVID-19 continues to mutate.李侗曾强调，与流感病毒类似，新冠病毒仍在持续变异。"The greater the difference between the original strain and the current circulating variant, the less protection the body's antibodies can provide," Li said.他表示：“当前流行变异株与原始毒株的基因差异越大，人体抗体提供的免疫保护效力就越有限。”He noted that new variants are gradually replacing older ones, and population immunity wanes over time, contributing to several sporadic outbreaks this year.他解释称，新型变异株正逐步取代旧有病毒株，加之群体免疫水平随时间推移逐步衰减，共同导致了今年多轮散发疫情的出现。"This suggests that, compared with seasonal or climate factors, the spread of COVID-19 may depend more on how the virus evolves and the level of immunity in the population," he said.“这说明相较于季节性或气候因素，新冠疫情传播态势更取决于病毒进化方向及人群免疫屏障的强弱程度。”李侗曾认为，这一演变特征提示疫情防控需建立更动态化的应对机制。 respiratory disease呼吸道疾病influenza/ˌɪnfluˈenzə/n. 流感; 流行性感冒mutate/mjuːˈteɪt/v. 变异; (使)突变variant/ˈveəriənt/n. 变种; 变体vaccines/ˈvæksiːnz/n. 疫苗

Despite a gold-laden campaign at the world championships, China's once invincible national table tennis team has left the prestigious tournament in Doha, Qatar, with alarm bells ringing for its Olympic ambitions.尽管在世乒赛上斩获多枚金牌，但中国乒乓球“梦之队”在卡塔尔多哈举行的这项顶级赛事中为奥运备战敲响警钟，这支曾所向披靡的队伍正面临新的挑战。Winning four of the five events at the world championships finals, it seemed like business as usual for China's table tennis squad to have proved its mighty prowess again in the Qatari capital. However, the surging challenge from the rest of the world, underlined by the squad's early exit in men's doubles, has triggered a sense of urgency for the celebrated program.在卡塔尔首都举行的世乒赛决赛中，中国队包揽了五个项目中的四枚金牌，再次彰显了强大实力。然而男子双打项目提前出局的失利，凸显出国际对手的强劲挑战，也为这支荣耀之师拉响了备战警报。The men's doubles final, the first event on Sunday, proceeded without a Chinese pair for the first time in 50 years, with two Chinese teams eliminated in the quarterfinals. Japan's Hiroto Shinozuka and Shunsuke Togami won the final after beating Chinese Taipei's Kao Cheng-jui and Lin Yun-ju 3-2 in the best-of-five format.周日的首场男双决赛出现了近五十年来首次无中国组合参赛的局面，此前两对中国选手均止步四分之一决赛。最终日本组合篠塚大登、户上隼辅以3-2战胜中国台北组合高承睿、林昀儒，摘得桂冠。Women's World No 1 Sun Yingsha and men's World No 2 Wang Chuqin, both from China, then held court at the Lusail Sports Arena, delivering in top form to each claim a singles title, adding to their golden harvest after bagging the mixed doubles title together on Saturday.随后，世界排名第一的中国女将孙颖莎和男单世界第二的王楚钦在卢赛尔体育馆延续统治级表现。继周六携手斩获混双冠军后，两位国手各自在单打项目中登顶。"It felt like a huge burden relieved in my heart," Wang said after beating Brazil's reigning World Cup winner Hugo Calderano 4-1 in the best-of-seven final to win his first world championship singles gold medal.“感觉心里的一块大石头终于落地了。”王楚钦在以4-1战胜巴西现役世界杯冠军雨果·卡尔德拉诺后如此感慨。这是他职业生涯首度加冕世锦赛单打冠军。"It was a tough battle and I am so happy to pull it off, driven by the pride representing my country and the team," said Wang, who also successfully avenged his semifinal loss to the same opponent at the Macao World Cup last month.“这场对决异常艰难，我很高兴能够代表祖国和团队站上最高领奖台，这份荣誉感驱使我坚持到最后。”这位国乒新星同时为上个月澳门世界杯半决赛负于同一对手成功复仇。The recent surge of Calderano, dubbed by fans as the "Thrill from Brazil", saw the world No 3 edge out Chinese players at major events two times in a row after he beat world No 5 Liang Jingkun with a gripping semifinal win on Saturday to set up a clash with Wang. Calderano's meteoric rise has pushed Team China's best to dig harder and stay more cautious in future events.被球迷誉为“巴西惊雷”的雨果·卡尔德拉诺近期状态爆棚。这位世界排名第三的猛将在本届赛事中连续击败中国选手——继周六半决赛力克世界第五梁靖崑后，他将在决赛舞台与王楚钦正面交锋。这位巴西选手的迅速崛起，迫使国乒主力在未来赛事中必须更加努力，保持更高警惕。"To face him again, I tried to position myself as a challenger. He's definitely a big threat for us in future tournaments," Wang said after helping China collect its 11th consecutive men's singles title at the worlds.“再次面对他，我以挑战者姿态全力备战。毫无疑问，他将是未来国际赛场的重大威胁。”助中国队实现世乒赛男单11连冠的王楚钦赛后坦言。In the women's singles final, Sun retained her crown by outplaying teammate and 2021 singles world champion Wang Manyu 4-3 in a seesaw battle.在女子单打决赛中，孙颖莎以4-3险胜队友、2021年世乒赛女单冠军王曼昱，成功卫冕。It was also the 16th consecutive women's singles final at the world championships to feature two Chinese finalists since 1995, serving as testament to the program's dominance in this event.这也是自1995年以来，世乒赛女单决赛连续16届出现两名中国选手进入女子单打决赛，这一惊人纪录彰显着国乒在该项目的绝对统治力。After a break during the men's singles final, Wang Manyu suited up again in the women's doubles final with partner Kuai Man and ended her Doha outing with a gold, after the world No 2 Chinese pair routed the Austria-Romania duo of Sofia Polcanova and Bernadette Szocs 3-0 in less than 22 minutes to cap off Team China's campaign in style.稍作休整后，王曼昱与搭档蒯曼再次出战女子双打决赛。这对世界排名第二的中国组合仅耗时22分钟便以3-0战胜了奥地利—罗马尼亚跨国组合索菲亚·波尔卡诺娃和伯纳黛特·斯佐科斯，为中国队此次多哈征程画上完美句点。这枚金牌也让王曼昱结束了世乒赛之旅。Team China's apparent decline of dominance on the men's side, measured by its own standards, at the world championships has raised concerns over its prospects for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, where the two team events have been replaced by men's and women's doubles on the Games' program.按照中国自身的标准衡量，中国乒乓球队在世乒赛男子项目统治力的明显下滑，这引发了人们对2028年洛杉矶奥运会前景的担忧，洛杉矶奥运会上将取消男女团体赛，增设男女双打项目。The adjustment is expected to pose a tougher threat for China's ambition of a clean sweep of all golds at LA 2028, where international contenders are more competitive in doubles than in team events.这一赛制调整或将对中国队实现洛杉矶奥运会包揽全部金牌的雄心构成更大挑战。相较于团体赛，国际选手在双打项目的竞争力更为强劲。"We are definitely facing much more pressure now following the change in the Olympic program. The world is ready to go harder at us, and we should be prepared better as well," newly elected Chinese Table Tennis Association president Wang Liqin told Xinhua News Agency after taking office last month.“奥运赛制的改变无疑使我们面临更大压力。世界乒坛正蓄势发起更猛烈的冲击，我们必须做好更充分的准备。”新任中国乒协主席王励勤上月就职后接受新华社采访时表示。这位前大满贯得主强调，双打项目的偶然性特质将加剧奥运夺金难度。tournament/ˈtʊənəmənt/n. 锦标赛invincible/ɪnˈvɪnsəbl/adj. 无敌的; 不可战胜的alarm bells危险信号，警报squad/skwɒd/n.（特殊任务）小组，队take office上任；就职gripping/ˈɡrɪpɪŋ/adj. 扣人心弦的; 吸引人的
