  【Kaleidoscope】 >Radio DJ makes prank call DJ冒充女王套凯特病情 A Sydney radio station claims it pulled off a royal prank (恶作剧) after a DJ (Disco Jockey) posed as the Queen and called a nurse at the London hospital treating Prince William's pregnant wife Catherine, ABC reported. DJ Mel Greig, impersonating the 86-year-old monarch, dialed the hospital and asked the operator: "Could I please speak to Kate please, my granddaughter?" The operator replied: "Oh yes, just hold on Ma'am." Greig was put through to a ward where a nurse told her that Kate was "sleeping at the moment and she has had an uneventful night". 据美国广播公司报道，澳大利亚一家广播电台日前导演了一出针对英王室的恶作剧：他们的一名DJ冒充英国女王，打电话给怀孕的凯特王妃入住的伦敦医院套取信息。DJ梅尔·克雷格打通电话后，模仿86岁女王的声音说：我找我的孙女凯特。接电话者信以为真："好的夫人，请稍等。"电话被转接给了病房的值班护士。护士表示凯特正在睡觉，前一晚情况稳定。

  【China Daily Radio】 现在不少公共场所都提供免费的无线上网连接服务，方便了大众，同时也吸引了更多人群的光顾。不过，有些人为了享受免费的上网服务，长期占用公共场所的位置，也让不少营业场所的经营者头痛。 Wi-Fi squatter refers to someone who lingers in a public location to use its Wi-Fi Internet connection, or who uses such a connection without authorization. Wi-Fi squatter指长时间占用公共场所无线网络连接资源的人，或未经授权使用无线网络连接的人，即"Wi-Fi蹭网族"。 Cafe owners have tried a variety of tactics to foil Wi-Fi squatters. They put out signs that ask laptop users to share tables or point them to nearby Wi-Fi hot spots such as public libraries. 咖啡馆老板们试过很多办法阻止Wi-Fi蹭网族。他们挂出告示，提醒正在使用笔记本的客人与其他客人拼桌，或者告诉他们去公共图书馆等其他有Wi-Fi热点的地方。

  【Kaleidoscope】 >Israeli jet engines stolen 以F-16引擎被偷卖废铁 Thieves have made off with several US-made engines for F-16 warplanes worth millions of dollars from an airbase in central Israel, local media reported. Military police suspected there may have been collusion between the thieves and personnel at the base and the engines may have been stolen to be sold as scrap metal. Last year, parts for F-15 and F-16 warplanes were stolen from the Tel Nof air base, and were subsequently discovered at a warehouse used by scrap metal merchants. 据以色列媒体报道，小偷从该国中部某空军基地偷走了数个美国制造、价值数百万美元的F-16战机引擎。宪兵怀疑这可能是一起内外勾结的偷盗事件，被偷的引擎很可能被当废铁卖掉。去年，以色列特尔诺夫空军基地就丢失了一些F-15、F-16战机配件，后在废品收购商的仓库里被发现。

  【Top News】 >Measures to test physique 国务院新规测学生体质 The Ministry of Education is considering new measures to test the physical quality of students across the country each year, Beijing News reported. According to the measures, every student in a school is required to participate in the annual test and the results should be reported to the Ministry, which will select a specified number of students from each province each year to test their suppleness and endurance. The Ministry will select 4 pilot provinces this year and the measures are expected to expand across the whole country next year. 据《新京报》报道，教育部正在制定相关实施办法，未来有望每年对全国学生体质进行一次测试。新办法将要求所有学校每年对每个学生进行体质测试，同时将测试结果上报教育部。教育部每年将从各省抽测指定数量的学生，测试内容主要有柔韧性和耐力等方面。据悉，教育部计划今年抽取4个省份试点，明年有望覆盖全国。 >Rolls-Royce in bribery probe 劳斯莱斯陷多国行贿门 One of the world's largest makers of jet engines, Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC, is being investigated by British authorities over allegations of bribery and corruption in overseas markets including Indonesia and China, The Globe and Mail reported.

A spate of (大量) proposed tax hikes is leading hundreds of wealthy French to consider leaving the country and put their homes on the market, The Wall Street Journal reported. The result: the best opportunity in years for foreigners to buy a Parisian luxury house or a country chateau. The number of luxury properties for sale could balloon next year, property brokers say. 法国人正在大逃亡。据《华尔街日报》报道，该国政府针对富人的一系列加税提案正迫使数以百计的法国富豪考虑离开本国，并出售其在法住宅。结果就是：外国人迎来了觊觎多年的购巴黎豪宅或乡间古堡的最佳时机。房产经纪人表示，明年涌入市场的豪宅数量还将大幅增长。 [豪宅'白菜价'] The newly available properties of departing expats are scattered around France. A 19th-century 500-sq m Provencal farmhouse on about 15 acres of land is listed at $3.8m, a 10% discount to the market value. A 310-sq m top-floor luxury apartment in Nice boasts an unobstructed (畅通无阻的) view of the Mediterranean for $4.9m. 移民出逃的富人留下来的这些房产遍布法国各地。在普罗旺斯的一处占地约15英亩、住宅面积约500平米的19世纪农庄，要价仅为380万美元，比市场价低了10%。在尼斯，一套号称能一览无余地欣赏到地中海美景、约310平米的顶层豪华公寓售价490万美元。 ['大鱼'早跑了] Several high-profile businessmen have already packed their bags. Former L'Oreal Chief Executive Lindsay Owen-Jones has taken up residence in Switzerland. Belgium now counts Amaury de Seze, who served as chairman of supermarket giant Carrefour, as a local. Nicolas Chanut, founder of French investment advisory firm Exane, moved to London. 几位声名显赫的法国巨商早已离开。欧莱雅前CEO琳赛·欧文-琼斯已在瑞士定居；曾任超市巨头家乐福集团董事长的阿默里·西兹移居比利时；法国投资咨询公司Exane的创始人尼古拉·沙努特也已搬去伦敦。

  【China Daily Radio】 这两年一直都流行裹腿的紧身牛仔裤，一时间想要买一条正常形状的牛仔裤倒显得有些困难。想要穿潮流装没有错，不过如果穿的时候身体出现不适可要注意哦。 A number of patients in the US have been found suffering from "meralgia paresthetica", a disorder that causes symptoms of tingling, numbness and pain in the upper legs, as a result of their trendy clothing, such as skinny jeans. 很多美国人都因为穿着紧身牛仔裤等流行服饰而患上"感觉异常性股痛"，其症状表现为大腿刺痛、麻木及疼痛。 "It's a disorder that occurs when one of the nerves that runs in the outer part of a thigh gets compressed," said Dr Karen Boyle from the Greater Baltimore Medical Center in the US. Wearing high heels with skinny jeans could worsen the problem as tilting the pelvis increases the pressure on nerves, she said. 美国大巴尔的摩医疗中心的博伊尔医生表示，这种症状多发于大腿外侧神经受压迫时。她表示，紧身牛仔裤配穿高跟鞋会加重症状，因为(穿高跟鞋时)骨盆侧倾会增加对神经的压迫。 Dr Boyle warned that any tingling sensation caused by their denims should not be ignored as this could lead to more permanent damage. 博伊尔医生警示，穿牛仔裤时感觉到的任何刺痛都不应该被忽视，因为这一状况可能导致永久性损伤。 (本期英文内容由英籍编辑Brian Salter润色。) 【Weekly Topic】 This week marks the 20th anniversary of the SMS (short message service).

  【Cover Story】 >Apple to return production 美国制造'逆袭'苹果回迁 Apple will invest more than $100m in returning a small proportion of its manufacture of Mac computers to the US next year, the first time in more than a decade that its products will be made as well as designed in the US, its CEO Tim Cook told Bloomberg Business Week in an interview Thursday. The announcement could be good news for a country that has been struggling with an unemployment rate of around 8% for some time and has been bleeding good-paying factory jobs to China and other Asian countries and regions. 苹果首席执行官库克6日接受《彭博商业周刊》采访时表示，该公司明年将投资逾1亿美元，使一小部分Mac电脑的制造业务回流美国。这将是10多年来，苹果首次将产品的设计和制造均转至本土进行，对美国来说可能是个利好消息。该国高达8%的失业率已持续一段时间，而工厂的高收入业务都流向了中国等亚洲国家和地区。 [海外制造遭抨击] Like other US corporations, Apple has come under fire for over-relying on low-cost Asian labor and contributing to the decline of the US manufacturing sector. It makes the majority of its products, from Macs to the iPhone and iPad, in China. 苹果也如其他美国企业一样，因过分依赖亚洲廉价劳力，造成本国制造业日益衰落而饱受诟病。其Mac、iPhone和iPad等大部分产品都在中国制造。 【Top News】 >HRW group chides Singapore 美组织吁撤诉中国司机 Human Rights Watch called for the "illegal strike" charges against Chinese bus drivers to be dropped and discrimination to be ended, Reuters reported. "Singapore defies basic labor rights by criminalizing migrant workers for a work stoppage," Phil Robertson, deputy Asia director at Human Rights Watch, said in a statement. 据路透社报道，针对新加坡对中国籍公交司机"非法罢工"的指控，美国人权观察组织呼吁新当局撤诉并停止歧视。人权观察组织亚洲副主任罗伯森在声明中表示，新加坡将外来劳工罢工定为刑事罪行，是蔑视基本的劳工权利。 [事件回顾] Five Chinese bus drivers have been charged for allegedly instigating (煽动) an illegal strike after a total of 171 Chinese bus drivers took medical leave on Nov 26, citing inequitable pay raises. If convicted, the drivers will face fines of up to 2,000 Singapore dollars each, or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 12 months, or both. 11月26日，171名中国巴士司机以薪资不公为由集体请病假。随后，5名中国籍司机涉嫌非法煽动罢工遭指控。一旦罪名成立，他们每个人将面临最高达2000元新币(约合人民币10215元)罚款，或被监禁最长一年，或两者并处。

  >Home agencies fail expansion 京房产中介减少1800家 There have been few new estate agencies opening up although sales of 2nd-hand homes have registered a strong rebound this year, Beijing News reported. Some 1,800 outlets have been forced to shut by property brokerage services – mostly small scaled – in the past 2 years since new rigorous real estate policies were introduced to cool property prices. As for large scale brokerages, they have taken a prudent attitude toward business expansion. The current market is only strong enough for existing outlets rather than for newcomers, said Liu Jun, chairman of Geland Real Estate Co. 据《新京报》报道，虽然今年北京二手房市场回暖明显，但二手房中介门店的数量并未见增。在深度调控之下，两年间北京的二手房中介门店减少了1800家左右，其中多是小型中介。大型中介目前仍对扩张持谨慎态度。鑫尊集团董事长刘军表示，现在的市场情况只能保证现有门店盈利，市场行情还不足以支撑大幅扩张。 >Tsunami warning lifted 日本解除震后海啸警报 A tsunami warning for Japan's northeastern coastal areas has been lifted Friday by Japanese Meteorological Agency following a 7.3-magnitude earthquake off the east coast of Honshu, Japanese broadcaster NHK reported. Shortly after the quake, the 1m-high tsunami reached Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture – the centre of the devastation from the March 11 disaster in 2011 – where at least 10 people were injured after this latest quake. 据日本NHK电视台报道，日本本州东部海岸7日发生7.3级地震后，日本气象厅向东北部沿海地区发出的海啸预警现已解除。地震发生不久，去年3·11大地震重灾区——日本宫城县石卷市观测到1米高的海啸，截至目前，本次地震已造成当地至少十人受伤。 >Officials account spending 普京:官员申报全家消费 Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a set of bills introducing controls on personal spending by government officials, local media reported. According to the new law, the controls will apply to "purchases of land or other real estate property, vehicles, securities and stocks, if their amount exceeds the income of the purchaser and his or her spouse for the 3 years immediately preceding the transaction." The new provisions will go into effect on Jan 1, 2013. 据俄罗斯媒体报道，该国总统普京近日签署了一系列控制政府官员个人消费的法案。新法规定，一旦官员购买土地或其他房产、汽车、证券和股票的消费额超过购买者和其配偶此前3年的总收入，将对其实行消费控制。新法规将于2013年1月1日生效。 ['重拳'反腐] Officials will have to declare not only their own spending, but also the spending of their spouses and underage children. The source of funds for the acquisition of any property will need to be justified. Failing to do so will result in the official being fired and the property confiscated (充公). The law also introduces criminal liability (刑事责任) for failure to pay a fine that is envisaged as the main punishment for officials unable to prove the legality of their property acquisition. Penalties include house arrest (软禁) or community service, with no specific jail time stipulated in this case. 官员不但要申报自己的消费额，还要申报配偶及未成年子女的消费额。官员需证明自己所购任何资产的资金来源合法，若做不到，官员就会被撤职，其资产被充公。对于那些无法证明所购资产合法，又没有缴纳作为主要惩罚的罚金的官员，该法规将对其追究刑事责任。处罚包括软禁或社区服务，但未规定监禁时间。

  "Merry Christmas"(圣诞快乐)，这是世界上第一条短信的内容。当时打出这两个单词的人并不知道，在未来的20年里，人们的交流方式会发生怎样的剧变，他也不会想到，当"Xmas"开始流行，已少有人会在短信中写"Christmas"了。

  [短信的诞生] 1992年12月3日，英国一位22岁的软件工程师，尼尔·帕普沃思，用一台电脑发出了历史上第一条短信，这条信息是发给正在参加圣诞晚会的老板的，只是简单的一句"圣诞快乐"，但他的老板却无法回复。当时的手机只能接收信息，过了大约一年，诺基亚等厂家生产出具有相应功能的产品后，人们才能使用手机发短信。 On Dec 3, 1992, Neil Papworth, a 22-year-old software engineer in the UK, used a computer to send the first text message to his boss who was at a Christmas party. It simply read "Merry Christmas," and his boss had no way of replying. At that time, you could only receive messages on phones; you couldn't actually send messages from phones until a year or so later when phones from Nokia and others had the proper capability. 那时候，大多数公司的投资重心都在寻呼机上，直到几年后，电信公司才把目光聚焦到手机短信这一业务。1994年，英国电信公司沃达丰推出了短信息服务，该服务完全免费，但短信只能发送给同一网络中的用户。 Back then most companies were investing heavily in pagers (寻呼机). The idea of sending short messages via mobile phones only became a focus for telecoms companies years later. The British telecom company Vodafone launched text messaging in 1994. Texts were completely free then but could only be sent to people on the same network.

  [蓄势待发] 在早期，每条短信都必须控制在160字符以内，不像现在，超出的内容可以合并成一条短信，而且联想文本输入法直到1995年才出现，可想而知，当时发短信的速度有多慢。尽管如此，这项不算昂贵的新技术还是在大学生当中迅速流行起来。1999年，短信息服务终于实现可完全兼容不同网络，一个新的热潮诞生了。 In the early days of texting, users had to stick to a 160 character limit (there was no way of running texts together as there is today) and predictive text systems did not exist before 1995, meaning texting speeds were much slower. Even so, the new inexpensive technology gained instant popularity among college students. In 1999, full cross-network compatibility for SMS (Short Message Service) was finalized. A new fever was born.

  正如任何快速发展的新事物一样，短信一旦起步，便势不可挡。而科技也在发展，20年后，世界早已变换了天地。就在短信告别"青春期"的这一年，人们已在谈论它的"未老先衰"。 [达到巅峰] 到20世纪末，全球共发出超过1千亿条的短信，这一数字在2005增长至1万亿，这还不是巅峰。国际电信联盟的数据显示，在2010年，每分钟就有20万条短信被发出，全球一年共发出6.1万亿条短信。如今，每年有8.6万亿条短信息在人们之间传递。 By the end of the 20th century, more than 100b texts worldwide had been sent, growing to 1 trillion by 2005. And it just kept on growing. In 2010, the International Telecommunications Union reported that 200,000 text messages were being sent every minute and 6.1 trillion texts were sent worldwide. Now 8.6 trillion text messages are being sent every year. [受到挑战] 然而到了2012年，越来越多的证据显示，短信的高峰已过，在持续增长20年后，它终于显露出了疲态，人们已开始转向智能手机，使用电邮、即时通讯及其它第三方通讯工具进行交流。这些软件有更好的用户体验和便捷易用的新功能。市场研究公司Moor Insights & Strategy的分析师帕特里克·莫海德说，"短信不改进，就只能走向衰弱。" But in 2012, there is growing evidence that text messaging is past its peak. After 2 decades of constant growth, text messaging is finally slowing down as people move to smartphones and use e-mail, instant messaging, and 3rd-party messaging tools to communicate. These come with enhanced user experiences and handy extra features. "Texting isn't evolving, therefore it's declining," Patrick Moorhead, principal analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy said.

  [费用是关键] 专家还指出，"归根结底还是费用问题。经过这么多年，运营商还在利用短信收取额外的费用，而实际上经营这项业务几乎可算无本生意，它带来的是纯利润。"另一方面，通过使用一些流行应用和服务，智能手机用户可以用Wi-Fi或蜂窝网络发出他们想发的任何信息，而无需按条付费。 "It comes down to cost - carriers still charge extra for text messaging after all these years, even though it costs essentially nothing to operate. It's pure margin," an expert pointed out. By using popular apps and services, smartphone users can send all the texts they want over Wi-Fi or cellular networks without paying per message. [短信还将陪伴我们很久] 要说短信已亡，却也为时尚早。虽然现在各种交流工具多得让人眼花缭乱，但短信仍然是值得信赖的信息传递者，我们还在用它分享新闻、八卦、娱乐、提醒等各类信息。它仍然比Facebook和Twitter连接着更多的人，还拥有着改变人们生活的能力。更何况，智能机只占所有手机的50%，所以短信在数年内还不会消亡。 It isn't over for SMS though. While a dizzying number of options exist today to interconnect people, the text message remains a reliable deliverer of news, gossip, laughs, alerts, and all manner of other information. It connects more people than Facebook and Twitter, and still holds the ability to change lives. Moreover, smartphones only account for 50% of all cell phones, so text messaging is likely to be around for years to come.

  20年来，短信带给我们的不只是便捷的交流方式。它在潜移默化中改变的事物，要多得多。 *我们更容易与人联络 We are more accessible 现在，你可以轻易地联系到你想找的人，地点、时间都不是问题。而且短信通常都比电话更受欢迎，因为它节省时间和精力。就算你正在开会或听讲座，都可以立即给朋友写一条短信或阅读来信。 Now, you can easily connect with anyone no matter the place or the hour. Often SMS messages are preferred over phone calls since they require less time and effort. You can always write a quick note to a friend or read a message, even if you are at a conference or at lectures, for example. *我们变得三心二意 We are more distracted 这也许是短信带来的最大负面影响之一。因为我们随时随地都在发短信，无论是开车、走路、吃饭还是说话，短信都可照发不误，仿佛已成了瘾。结果便是，如今的人们越来越心不在焉。 This may be one of the most negative aspects of texting. It is because we text everywhere. We text and we drive; we walk and we text; we text and we eat; we speak and we text... It's like we are addicted. As a result, people are now more absent-minded.

  *我们不再认真写字 We violate spelling rules 短信改变了我们写字的习惯，我们省去了传统标点，用缩写、首字母或表情符号代替单词的正常拼写。类似于"l8r" (later)、"gr8" (great)、"b4" (before)等的缩略语让家长们头疼不已，疾呼孩子已经不知道怎样正确拼写了。 Texts have changed the way we write, obliterating conventional punctuations and replacing properly spelled words with abbreviations, initials and "emoticon" symbols. Abbreviations such as "l8r" (later), "gr8" (great) and "b4" (before) soon had befuddled adults complaining that kids had lost the ability to spell correctly. *我们更加直截了当 We are more to-the-point 要在160字符的短信中尽可能地传达信息，一个办法就是上面提到的缩写，另一个，就是保持简单明了。想要节省时间和手机账单，就必须学会直奔主题，不能把时间浪费在形容词、多余的字眼和太多的细节上。 When we need to send information with around 160 characters, one way to fit into the limit is to use abbreviations as mentioned above. The other one is to be short and clear. If you want to save yourself some time and money from phone bills, you need to learn to be direct and to-the-point. There is no time for adjectives, filling words, excessive details and so on.

  短信救过人命、伤过人心，它记录了点滴瞬间，见证了苦乐人生，成为我们追忆往事时的又一个凭证。以下几条短信，或多或少已在历史中烙下了自己的印记。 [见证幸福] "你愿意嫁给我吗？" "Will you marry me?" ——所知第一条求婚短信，由推销员格兰特·斯特朗奇于1999年发送给他的女友，后者回复道："愿意。愿意。愿意。XXX"(注：X为亲吻之意) The first known text proposal was sent in 1999 by salesman Grant Strange to his girlfriend, who responded: "Yes. Yes. Yes. XXX" [记录创伤] "这是场有预谋的袭击，第二架飞机刚刚飞入第二座高楼。" "It's a DELIBERATE attack - a second plane just flew into the second tower." ——维基解密公布了所有"9·11事件"时发出的短信记录，这是其中一条，由一位匿名目击者发出。这些短信详细描述了美国历史上所遭受的最严重的恐怖袭击的整个经过。 This message, from an unknown witness, came to light as Wikileaks disclosed a full record of texts sent during the 9/11 attacks - a second-by-second account of the worst terrorist atrocity on US soil.

  [走入政治] "奥巴马提名乔·拜登议员为我们的副总统候选人。" "Barack has chosen Senator Joe Biden to be our VP nominee." ——奥巴马使用大规模群发短信的方式来公布自己的副总统候选人，标志着在政治领域一对一传播时代的到来。但这巨大的短信发送数目使得当时美国网络几近瘫痪，很多支持者事后才收到这条消息。 Barack Obama's decision to announce his choice of vice president via a mass text message marked a new era of "personal" communication in politics. Obama's announcement arrived late for many of his supporters, though, as the sheer volume overwhelmed networks in the US. [闹过乌龙] "LOL" ——前新闻国际集团首席执行官丽贝卡·布鲁克斯透露，英国首相卡梅伦曾在发给她的短信后属上"LOL"，因为他以为这三个字母代表"lots of love"(很多爱)，而实际上人们用它表示"laughing out loud"(哈哈大笑)。 Former News International Executive Rebekah Brooks reveals that Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron used to send her texts signed "LOL" because he thought it meant "lots of love"; its usual meaning is "laughing out loud".

  >CNOOC to take over Nexen 中海油收购尼克森获批 China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC) Ltd's takeover of Nexen Inc was approved by the Canadian Ministry of Industry under the Investment Canada Act, CNOOC announced Saturday, Xinhua reported. The deal is all but certain to be completed owing to the governmental approval, according to an industry insider. The $15.1b takeover will be the biggest overseas acquisition by a Chinese company. 据新华社报道，中国海洋石油有限公司8日宣布，中海油收购加拿大尼克森公司的申请，符合《加拿大投资法》，已获得加拿大工业部的批准。业内人士称，在获得加拿大政府的批准后，这笔交易的成功可以说"几无悬念"。这笔交易总对价约为151亿美元。收购成功后，将成为中国企业最大的一笔海外收购。 [关于尼克森] Nexen Inc is a Canadian-based global energy company, listed on the Toronto and New York stock exchanges.

  【Newsmaker】 >Nurse in prank call dies '恶搞电话'逼死王妃护士? A nurse who answered a prank call aimed at getting through to the pregnant Duchess Kate Middleton has been found dead, in a suspected suicide, the King Edward VII hospital said Friday, foreign media reported. The death comes days after the nurse was duped by 2 Australian radio station disc jockeys and revealed details about Kate's condition, which made headlines around the globe. The 2 disc jockeys behind the call have shut down their Twitter accounts and have been taken off the air until further notice. 据外媒报道，英国爱德华七世医院7日证实，接听"恶搞王室电话"的护士被发现死亡，疑似自杀。数日前，澳大利亚2名电台主持人为打探凯特王妃怀孕信息，将恶搞电话打至医院，女护士信以为真，致使有关凯特王妃身体状况的信息泄露。这一事件一时成为全球各大媒体头条。目前，2名主持人已删除微博账户，并被无限期停职。 【Kaleidoscope】 >'Christmas' post office busy 加圣诞岛邮戳驰名(图) One of the busiest post offices in Canada is in a small Cape Breton town that's fortunate enough to have the name of Christmas Island.

  【Language Tips】 'Free rein' ---------- Rein的本意是指套在马脖子上的缰绳。如果你拉紧缰绳，就可以使马放慢速度。因此rein常被引申为"驾驭、统治"的意思。Free rein意为"完全自由的行动"，不受他人牵制。这个短语在日常生活中十分常用。 请看例句: Give free rein to your imagination. 你可以完全放飞想像力。 【Talk Show】 我好怕怕。(2) >That movie was absolutely terrifying. 那部电影真够恐怖的。 >I was petrified when I heard a noise outside. 我听到外面的声响时都吓呆了。 >He's been dreading this day for months. 他一连几个月都在担心这一天。 >That guy gives me the creeps. 那家伙让我毛骨悚然。 >I think he has a few last-minute jitters, but he'll be OK. 我觉得他只是最后关头有些焦虑，不过他会没事的。 (本期英文内容由美籍编辑Nelly Min润色。) 【Weekly Topic】 This week marks the 20th anniversary of the SMS (short message service).

  【Language Tips】 'Dead duck' ---------- Dead duck(直译死鸭子)这个俗语可以用在生活的各个方面，意思是"注定要完蛋的人，没有价值的人或事"。 请看例句: The president's proposal looks like a dead duck. Some congressmen in his own party are against it, so I'm afraid he won't get enough votes to get it passed through Congress. 总统的提案看来是没有希望了，连他自己党内的议员都反对，所以他恐怕不能获得足够的票数使得这一提案在国会通过。

  >Higher tuition, less courses 英学费涨3倍课程遭'砍' Since the beginning of 2012, nearly 1 in 5 degree courses in British universities have been scrapped, while tuition fees have tripled to ￡9,000 per year, the Daily Mail of London reported. Universities are concentrating on popular subjects and dropping courses that have too few applicants or are too expensive to run. Official figures showed that both domestic and overseas students applying to the UK universities in 2013 have decreased. 据英国《每日邮报》报道，2012年年初以来，英国大学有近1/5的学位课程被削减，而大学学费则飙升3倍，达每年9000英镑。目前，英大学将重心放在受欢迎的学科上，砍掉了那些报名人数少或开课费用太昂贵的学科。官方公布的数据显示，申请2013年入读英国大学的本土学生和海外留学生人数都有所下降。 >Phones use 'eyeprints' 手机验证首推眼纹识别 A new phone security software that takes advantage of "eyeprints" has been developed by a US startup called EyeVerify, according to MIT Technology Review.

  >Japan falls into recession 日经济理论上陷入衰退 Revised government data showed Monday that Japan's economy shrank for the 2nd quarter in a row in the 3 months through September, indicating that the world's 3rd-largest economy has entered a recession, The Wall Street Journal reported. The downward revision of the previous quarter means Japan has already clocked up 2 consecutive quarters of shrinkage, a yardstick (标准) widely seen by private economists as constituting a recession. However, economists say that the downturn likely touched its low point in the October-December quarter. 据《华尔街日报》报道，10日，日本政府有关修正数据显示，该国7-9月份经济连续第二个季度萎缩，表明这个全球第3大经济体已陷入衰退。根据私人经济学家普遍认可的标准，连续两个季度出现经济萎缩是一国经济陷入衰退的标志。不过，经济学家们称，10月-12月份的季度中日本经济的低迷局面可能已经触底。 >3 suns overhead in SH 沪现'3个太阳'奇观(图) The sky appeared to have 3 suns in Shanghai Monday morning, sparking interests among local residents and Internet users, China News Service reported. Some people even used the "Doomsday prophecy" to explain this spectacle. In response, Shanghai meteorologists said it was actually the phenomenon of a solar halo, caused by refraction of sunlight through ice crystals high in the atmosphere. This rare phenomenon also occurred in Suzhou and areas in Sichuan, data showed.(See photo) 据中新社报道，上海天空10日上午出现罕见的"3个太阳"奇观，引发网友和市民热议，有人甚至将其与"世界末日论"联系在一起。对此，上海中心气象台解释称，这是气象上的日晕现象，是高空薄云中的冰晶产生的折射现象。资料显示，这种"3个太阳"的现象此前也在苏州、四川多地出现过。(见图) 【In Brief】 >Automobile sales in China expanded 11.52% month-on-month to hit 1.79m units in November, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said Monday, xinhuanet.com reported. 据新华网报道，中国汽车工业协会10日称，11月，全国汽车销售179万辆，环比增长11.52%。 >The capital's temperatures in the first 9 days in December averaged at -4.6℃, hitting a record low over the same period since 26 years ago, xinhuanet.com reported. The mercury in previous years registered an average of -0.5℃ during Dec 1-9 in Beijing. 据新华网报道，今年12月1日到9日北京的平均气温为零下4.6摄氏度，而常年同期气温只有零下0.5摄氏度，创26年来京城同期气温最低纪录。 【Kaleidoscope】 >Flipping a coin is not 50:50 研究:掷硬币无关乎运气 When people find something hard to decide, they sometimes flip a coin and let fate take its course. In reality, the odds of guessing heads or tails correctly aren't as even as you might think, and the reason has much more to do with physics, The Daily Mail of London reported. According to research by a Stanford math professor - Persi Diaconis, a natural bias occurs when coins are flipped, which results in the side that was originally facing up returning to that same position 51% of the time. No matter how often a coin is flipped, the side that started up will spend more time facing up in the air. 据英国《每日邮报》报道，当人们感到难以抉择时，往往会通过掷硬币的方式，交由老天爷决定。而实际上，硬币抛出后的正反概率并非你想象的那样对半开，其背后的原因与物理有关。根据斯坦福大学数学教授佩尔西·戴康尼斯的研究，自然倾向在掷币时起了作用。硬币在抛出时朝上的那一面，最终朝上的概率为51%。其原因在于，无论用多大的力掷硬币，抛出时向上的那一面，在整个过程中朝上的时间都会更长。 >Dogs' teeth Guinness record 港312只宠物齐刷牙(图) In the south of Hong Kong, owners of 312 pooches (小狗) scrubbed their animals' teeth for 3 minutes using a special brush and gel, as they sought to set a new Guinness World Record in the category "most people brushing dogs' teeth simultaneously", the Daily Telegraph of Sydney reported. Organizers said the event was aimed at promoting a hygienic lifestyle for dogs as well as for raising funds for a dog rescue centre. It will take 3-4 months for Guinness officials to certify whether the event is actually a new Guinness World Record. 据澳大利亚《每日电讯报》报道，在香港南部，312位狗主人使用特制牙刷和牙膏，为爱犬集体刷牙3分钟，以期创造"同时为狗刷牙人数最多"的吉尼斯世界纪录。组织者称，这次活动旨在宣传宠物狗的卫生生活方式，并为狗救援中心筹集资金。吉尼斯世界纪录委员会需要三到四个月时间来认证这项纪录。

  【Talk Show】 买醉狂欢，一起喝一杯吧！(2) >She just pounded another Bacardi. 她很快又喝完了一杯百加得。 (Pound的本意是重复地重击，在这里引申为"很快地喝掉一瓶酒"，往往带有一些诙谐甚至讽刺的意思。Bacardi是非常出名的朗姆酒，中文音译为百加得，在夜店很盛行，有些人不太能直接喝这种烈性酒，通常会兑一些碳酸饮料和冰块。) >Dad loves sipping Chinese strong liquor Erguotou. 老爸喜欢喝点二锅头。 (二锅头是国产白酒里的代表。在向国外游客介绍的时候，有人会将白酒称为white wine，但这种说法容易造成误会，因为white wine本身是与我们所熟悉的红葡萄酒，即red wine相对应的一个概念。而中国的白酒原料是粮谷，所以，我们一般用Chinese spirits/liquor来指代白酒，更学术一点的说法是Chinese distillate spirits，distillate是"蒸馏"的意思。) (本期英文内容由英籍编辑Brian Salter润色。)

Bermuda is a self-governing British overseas territory in the North Atlantic Ocean, and it has no corporate income tax. 据彭博社报道，谷歌2011年通过把近百亿美元营收转移到一家百慕大的壳公司，在全球范围内避开了20亿美元的所得税，这种离岸避税手法将其整体税率降低了近一半。试图增加政府收入的法国、英国、意大利和澳大利亚4国正对谷歌的避税行为展开调查。百慕大位于北大西洋，是英国的自治海外领地。百慕大没有公司所得税。 【Top News】 >Record highs for land prices 城市11天内诞生7'地王' As the year end nears, many 1st and 2nd-tier cities have witnessed the emergence of new "land kings" in land auction markets, Securities Daily reported.

The US Mint's (美国铸币局) sales of American Eagles, one of the most popular gold coins, leapt 131% in November, hitting their highest level in more than 2 years. The jump in sales of gold coins highlights gold's role as the favored investment of disenchanted (幻想破灭) Americans.

They're trying to protect their wealth," said a spokesman for a jeweler. 据《金融时报》报道，美国总统大选结束以来，由于小投资者担心政府不会采取切实措施削减不断攀升的债务，美市场对金币的需求量激增。11月，美国铸币局最受欢迎的金币币种之一美国鹰洋销量激增131%，创两年多来最高值。金币销量大增凸显出黄金是对形势失望的美国人所青睐的投资品种。某珠宝商的发言人称："如今，人们购买黄金和珠宝不是因为喜欢它们，而是出于担忧。他们正想方设法保护自己的财富。" >End in sight for FBI building FBI欲售总部'丑陋'大楼 Just 6 blocks from the White House, the FBI's hulking headquarters has long been the one everyone loves to hate.

That's European!" 据英国《每日电讯报》报道，一直以来都是芭蕾舞者和T台男模专属的打底裤(状似秋裤)，如今竟在纽约男士中流行开来，甚至有望席卷英国街头。贾斯汀·比伯、拉塞尔·布兰德等名人都在穿打底裤。但也有纽约人士认为打底裤有辱男子气概。35岁的克鲁就表示："打底裤？一边去吧，纽约男的才不穿呢，那太欧范儿了！" 【China Daily Radio】 广东省纪委书记黄先耀近日表示，广东正在粤北和珠三角地区各选择一个县和一个区，开展领导干部家庭财产申报并在一定范围公示的试点工作。 请看《中国日报》的报道： Guangdong province is to launch a pilot project requiring all Party and government officials to report their assets, in the latest move to curb corruption. 广东省推最新反腐举措，将推出试点项目要求所有党政机关干部申报财产。 To report assets就是"申报财产"，如果是向公众"公开财产"则可以用disclose assets来表示，"公开收入"当然就是disclose income。 广东省此次pilot project(试点项目)先在几个designated districts and counties(指定区县)实行，如果有成效就在全省范围内推行。另外，对官员illegally applying for identity cards and other certificates(非法申请身份证件和其他证件)、transferring properties abroad(向国外转移财产)，以及arranging for their spouses' and children's emigration(安排配偶子女出国移民)等行为也将进行更严格的监督。 【Word Power】 过境免签 visa-free stay 例句： Shanghai is set to follow capital Beijing to permit 72 hour visa-free stay for transit tourists from 45 countries. 上海将效仿北京，对45个国家的游客实施72小时过境免签政策。 (本期英文内容由英籍编辑Brian Salter润色。) 【Word Prize】 --The actress supposedly heard a crack about her new movie, and she just got all steamed up. 此处a crack意思是？ A.嘲笑 B.谎言 C.吹牛

According to analysis of the latest satellite imagery, the DPRK has taken the 3 stages of the Unha-3 rocket off the launch pad and moved them into a nearby assembly line at Dongchang-ri in the country's northwest, the source said. 韩联社11日援引韩国军方消息人士称，朝鲜已经将远程火箭从发射台上拆卸下来以修复技术缺陷，该技术问题迫使其将火箭发射窗口期延长一周至12月29日。该消息人士称，最新的卫星图像分析显示，朝鲜已经将"银河3号"三级火箭移下该国西北部东仓里的发射台，运抵附近的组装中心。 >Islamist terrorism may end 恐怖主义2030年将终结? A US intelligence report released Monday says the "current Islamist phase of terrorism" might end by 2030, but violent terrorism itself is unlikely to die completely and might evolve into bloodless forms of economic and financial terrorism, the Times of India reported. The report by the US National Intelligence Council says that with more widespread access to lethal(杀伤性) and disruptive technologies, individuals who are experts in cyber systems might sell their services to the highest bidder, including terrorists who would focus less on causing mass casualties and more on creating widespread economic and financial disruption. 据《印度时报》报道，美国国家情报委员会10日公布的一份报告称，现阶段的伊斯兰恐怖主义或将于2030年终结，但暴力恐怖主义本身不可能完全消失，而将进化成不流血的经济金融恐怖主义。报告指出，随着对破坏性技术更为广泛的接触，许多网络专家可能向出价更高的人出售服务，包括恐怖分子，后者将不再集中精力制造大规模杀伤事件，而是致力于制造传播范围更广的经济和金融混乱。 【In Brief】 >New yuan-denominated lending reached RMB522.9b in November, falling RMB40b year-on-year, the People's Bank of China announced Tuesday. 中国人民银行11日发布的数据显示，11月份人民币贷款增加5229亿元，同比少增400亿元。 >The General Council of the World Trade Organization (WTO) approved Tajikistan's accession package on Monday, paving the way for the country to become its 159th member, xinhuanet.com reported. 据新华网报道，世界贸易组织总理事会10日通过塔吉克斯坦加入世贸组织的一揽子文件，该国将成为世贸组织的第159位成员。 【Newsmaker】 >Queen to deliver 3D speech 英女王首拍3D圣诞讲话 Queen Elizabeth II has recorded her Christmas message in a 3D format at Buckingham Palace, The Daily Telegraph of London reported. It will be the first time viewers can watch the Royal Family in 3D. The speech will be made available on Christmas day and viewers will have to use a pair of 3D glasses to enjoy the 3-dimensional effects.

Seen from a distance, the impala looks as if it is wearing a pair of Oxpeckers (牛椋鸟) as earrings. But the truth is that the 2 birds are enjoying a feast by eating up the ticks and the wax in the impalas' ears with their brightly-colored beaks. And the impala seems quite satisfied with the service as its eyes are squinting (眯起) a little bit. (See photo) 据外媒报道，一位南非摄影师拍下了一组温馨照片：两只小鸟正在帮助一只黑斑羚"掏耳朵"。远远看去，黑斑羚好像戴了一对牛椋鸟形状的"耳环"，事实却是两只小鸟正在享受饕餮大餐，它们用鲜艳的小嘴啄食斑羚耳朵里的壁虱和耳垢。此时，斑羚微眯双眼，似乎对服务相当满意。(见图) 【Talk Show】 买醉狂欢，一起喝一杯吧！(3) >Guzzle it! 干了这杯酒！ (guzzle可以翻译为"狂饮"，不光是指喝酒的速度，还包括饮酒时那种狂热的气氛，所以该词往往用在非常欢乐、热闹的场景。) >Break out the champagne. 开瓶香槟酒。 (香槟酒往往用在庆祝场合，对于这种著名的气泡酒[sparkling wine]来说，开瓶就不再用"open"，而是"break out"，该词组本身即有爆发、越狱的意思。) >Hit me. 再来一杯。 (这个短句常出现在牌桌上，当发牌者询问是否继续时，玩牌的人可以选择不继续"pass"，或继续"hit me"，在酒吧，类似的对话也发生在调酒师和买醉者之间，"请问需要再加一杯吗？"答曰："Hit me.") (本期英文内容由英籍编辑Brian Salter润色。) 【Word Prize】 --The actress supposedly heard a crack about her new movie, and she just got all steamed up. 此处a crack意思是？ A.嘲笑 B.谎言 C.吹牛 答案：A.嘲笑 原句意为：那名女演员可能是听到有人嘲笑她的新电影，所以一下子怒火中烧。 作动词用时，crack意为"使破裂"，对应的名词即"破裂；破裂声"。我们手机报文章中常出现它的一个词组crack down on，意为"镇压；取缔"，比如：to crack down hard on drunken driving，从严治理酒后驾车。本题中的crack是一个俚语用法，意为"嘲笑；挖苦话"。

Some netizens are saying that singles should not miss Dec 12 to confess their love again if they missed Sept 9, 2009, symbolizing forever lasting love, Oct 10, 2010, meaning perfect love, and Nov 11, 2011 representing uncompromising lifetime loyalty to your loved one. 据中新网12日报道，2012年12月12日因其谐音"要爱要爱要爱"，被网友赋予"告别单身，一起进入'2'人世界"的美好意义，是许多人心目中的"世纪示爱日"。有网友指出，错过了象征着长长久久的2009年9月9日、寓意十全十美的2010年10月10日、象征一心一意的2011年11月11日，一定不能错过2012年12月12日向心爱的人表白。 >DPRK launches satellite 朝'障眼法'成功发射火箭 The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said Wednesday it successfully launched a Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite into pre-set orbit using a long-range carrier rocket, Xinhua reported citing KCNA.

ROK's Foreign Minister Kim Sung-hwan said in an official statement that the launch violates the UN resolution that bans the DPRK from conducting nuclear and missile tests. 朝鲜发射火箭后，韩国总统李明博立即召开了国家安全会议。韩国外长金星焕在一份正式声明中称，朝方行为已违反联合国关于禁止朝鲜进行核技术和导弹技术试验的相关决议。

Japan strongly condemned the launch, said Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura. 日本政府发言人称，朝鲜发射火箭"不可接受"。日本内阁官房长官藤村修表示，日本强烈谴责这一行为。 --The US termed the launch "highly provocative", saying it threatens peace and security in the region and that it was "yet another example of DPRK's pattern of irresponsible behavior". 美国称朝鲜的此次发射是"高度挑衅"行为，将对地区和平和安全构成威胁，是"朝鲜式不负责任行为模式的又一例证"。 [朝:用于科学目的] Wednesday's move marks the DPRK's 2nd bid of the year and its 5th attempt since 1998 to launch a long-range rocket. Pyongyang, whose previous mission in April this year ended in failure, has countered that its "polar-orbiting earth observation satellite" is for peaceful scientific purposes only. 这是朝鲜自今年4月份火箭发射失败后年内进行的第2次远程火箭发射，也是该国自1998年以来进行的第5次远程火箭发射试验。朝鲜称，其发射的"极地轨道地球观测卫星"只是用于科学发展的和平目的。

  【Kaleidoscope】 >High taxes for handsome men? 日专家建议征'帅哥税' Takuro Morinaga, an economic analyst in Japan, has proposed a "handsome tax" on good-looking men as a solution to the nation's persistent problem of low fertility rates, Asahi Shimbun reported. According to the economist, "If we levied a 'handsome tax' on good-looking guys, that would serve to correct a little bit of the unfairness in dating, making it easier for homely guys to find a partner and the number of marriages would increase." Morinaga suggests doubling the income tax on good-looking guys while reducing the tax rate for homely guys by 10-20%. 据日本《朝日新闻》报道，针对日本长期的少子化问题，该国经济分析师森永卓郎提出可通过征收"帅哥税"来解决。森永卓郎认为，向相貌好的人征收"帅哥税"，可以在一定程度上改变交往中的不公，使相貌平平的人更容易找对象，结婚的人就会增加。他提议将帅哥的所得税翻番、相貌普通的人所得税减少一至两成。

  【China Daily Radio】 微博已经成为了很多人生活的一部分，早晨起床第一件事是刷微博，晚上睡前最后一件事也是刷微博。有些人不仅喜欢发微博，还热切希望自己的微博能被多人转发。如果发出去一条后无人问津，他们可能还会抑郁呢。 Re-tweet depression describes a situation in which you are often thrown into bouts of manic depression when you discover that your tweets/micro blog have not been re-tweeted/reposted enough. This depression often deepens when you find that your blog posts have not been re-blogged, or your Facebook status updates have not been liked. Re-tweet depression指发微博后发现没有被太多人转发时陷入一种躁郁状态，我们称之为"微博欠转抑郁症"。如果你的博客文章没有被人转载，Facebook等社交网站上的状态更新也没有人点"喜欢"的话，这种抑郁情绪就会更严重。 For example: He is experiencing re-tweet depression because no one has reposted any of his micro blog posts so far. 他正受"微博欠转抑郁症"折磨呢，因为到现在为止还没有人转发过他的微博。
