    >DPRK's rocket launch motives 朝鲜火箭发射玄机揭秘 The DPRK said Wednesday it successfully fired off the Unha-3 rocket. The curious timing of the launch, outside of its usual spring-summer launch window, raises questions about the political motivations behind Pyongyang's attention-grabbing move. CNN analyzed 3 motives underlying Pyongyang's latest move: 朝鲜12日称已经成功发射"银河3号"运载火箭。该国通常选择春夏之际进行火箭发射，而此番选在这样一个时机发射，引发了外界广泛猜测，平壤这一引人注目的行动背后有着怎样的政治动机？美国有线电视新闻网分析了以下3点： [影响周边] As northeast Asia awaits the outcomes of the Japanese election on Dec 16 and the South Korean presidential poll on Dec 19, a rocket launch sends a strong signal from Pyongyang to its regional interlocutors to ensure that the DPRK does not get overlooked. It will test the resolve of the new leadership teams and yield clues as to how they are likely to react individually and coordinate together in relation to the DPRK in future. 在东北亚区域，本月16日和19日将分别诞生日本和韩国新任领导人。平壤此时发射火箭是向周边对话者发送强烈信号，即不要忽视朝鲜。它将试探各国新领导集团的决策，并得出线索，以此判断各国将来会如何处理与朝鲜的关系。 [树立威望] A successful rocket launch would also represent a sterling commemoration of the first anniversary of Kim Jong-il's death on Dec 17. By demonstrating technological prowess, it would boost national pride and bestow prestige on DPRK's young new ruler, Kim Jong-un. 12月17日是朝鲜前领导人金正日逝世一周年的纪念日，火箭的成功发射还是对这一重要日子的纪念。通过展示技术上的巨大成就，国家自豪感得以提升，同时也为年轻的新领导人金正恩树立了威望。 [增加筹码] A successful launch of a long-range rocket may herald a shift from the developmental phase of the long-range missile program closer to a deployment phase. This would increase Pyongyang's strategic and diplomatic leverage in relation to its northeast Asian neighbors and its ability to use this event as a bargaining chip to extract further aid from the international community. 远程火箭的成功发射预示着该国的远程导弹项目已从开发阶段向部署阶段更进一步。这无疑将为平壤在处理与东北亚各国关系中增加战略和外交影响力，朝鲜也可借此事件为自己增加筹码，寻求更多国际社会的援助。

Microsoft currently offers its SkyDrive storage app to iOS users. However, upon doing so, Microsoft decided that it wouldn't share 30% of the revenue generated through those transactions with Apple, leading to the kerfuffle (混乱).

White-haired survivors of the massacre, victims' families, veterans and international friends attended the event. An air raid warning went off at 10:00 am; and people layed wreaths for the victims. More than 300,000 Chinese civilians and captured soldiers were killed by Japanese invaders in Nanjing in 1937. 据中新网报道，13日上午，约9000人在侵华日军南京大屠杀遇难同胞纪念馆广场和平集会，悼念南京大屠杀同胞遇难75周年。参加悼念仪式的有白发苍苍的南京大屠杀幸存者、遇难者家属、抗战老兵，也有远道而来的国际友人。10时整，防空警报响彻南京上空。各界人士向遇难同胞敬献花圈。1937年，侵华日军攻陷南京城，杀害中国平民和被俘军人达30余万人。 【Top News】 >Master's degree the minimum 7成中产家庭'望子读研' Three-quarters of middle-class Chinese parents expect their child to earn a postgraduate degree, while only 32% said they would be happy if their child stopped at undergraduate level, according to a report by global market research provider Mintel, The Wall Street Journal reported. Middle-class people are defined in the report as those who earn more than RMB7,000 per month in 1st-tier cities like Beijing and Shanghai, or over RMB5,000 per month in 2nd-tier cities like Tianjin and Chengdu. The pressure to pursue a higher degree may be motivated in part by the tough job market for college graduates in China. Many highly coveted civil service jobs now require a master's degree from job applicants. 据《华尔街日报》报道，全球市场研究公司明特尔的一份研究报告显示，3/4的中国中产阶级父母希望孩子能获得研究生学位，只有32%的人说，即使孩子只上完大学他们也会满意。报告将中产阶级定义为，在北京和上海等一线城市月收入7000元以上，在天津和成都等二线城市月收入5000元以上。追求更高学历的压力在一定程度上可能源于中国大学毕业生就业形势的严峻。许多备受追捧的公务员职位现在都要求应聘者有硕士学位。

"The word has become so much a part of the common lexicon that they gave him this nickname," Monti said. Monti has been credited with reducing the bond spread and, in turn, Italy's borrowing costs during his 13-month-old administration. "The faults of the grandparents fall on the grandchildren," he said, laughing. 据路透社报道，意大利总理蒙蒂11日透露，自己的外孙竟然被幼儿园的同学起外号"息差"。蒙蒂说："这个词已经泛滥到小孩子都拿这个起外号了"。蒙蒂在其13个月的执政期间成功将政府债券息差降低，从而减少了意大利的借贷成本。他笑着说："这真是外公的债让外孙偿啊"。 [你知道吗?] Spread, a financial term, refers to the risk premium investors demand to hold Italian bonds rather than their safer German equivalents. 息差是金融术语，指投资者购买意大利国债而非更安全的德国国债时要求获得的风险溢价。 【Kaleidoscope】 >Couple makes breakup video 美国情侣拍分手MV(图) When a New York couple decided to end their 5-year relationship, they created a breakup music video to share the news with friends, the New York Daily News reported.

    【China Daily Radio】 前段时间微博上盛传smilence (笑而不语)、antizen (蚁族)等有中国特色的英文词汇。其实，以英语为母语的人们也喜欢用这种方式自己造词，比如今天要说的这个smize。 Smize means "smile with your eyes", as coined by supermodel Tyra Banks on the thirteenth cycle of America's Next Top Model. Ever since its introduction, the term smize became part of the daily lexicon of Tyra and her minions. Smize的意思是"用眼睛微笑"。这个词是超模泰拉·班克斯在第13期美国"超级模特选秀大赛"中首创的。自从这个词出现以来，它就成了泰拉和她的拥趸们的口头禅。 For example: Your picture will look so much better when you smize. 你的眼睛充满笑意时，照片看上去效果更好。 【Word Power】 远程运载火箭 long-range carrier rocket 例句： The Democratic People's Republic of Korea said Wednesday it successfully launched a Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite into pre-set orbit using a long-range carrier rocket. 朝鲜周三宣布，该国成功用远程运载火箭将"光明星3号"卫星送入预定轨道。 (本期英文内容由英籍编辑Brian Salter润色。) 【Word Prize】 --Women spend all of their time looking at attractive men, but homely men make the best lovers. 此处homely men意思是？ A.宅男 B.经济适用男 C.相貌平平男

Most cities from developed areas of East China are seeing their rankings fall, due to surging operational costs and a larger exposure to global turmoil. In comparison, cities in Central China, including those in Hunan, Hubei, Henan and Jiangxi, are climbing up the rankings as a result of adequate labor resources, lower operational costs and improving transport systems. Most cities in Western and Northeast China have all risen on the list. 据新华网报道，《福布斯》中文版12日发布2012中国大陆最佳商业城市排行榜，上海冠居榜首。据了解，今年经济发达的东部地区入选城市排名涨少跌多，其原因主要是这些城市经营成本居高不下、易受国际环境影响等。同时，中部地区却呈现崛起之势，湖南、湖北、河南、江西等省份城市排名多数上升，其原因主要是有较丰富的人力资源、较低的经营成本以及完善的客运货运能力。此外，西部与东北地区大多数城市的排名也都有所上升。

Belgian researchers have found that urban dwellers who often exercise outdoors have higher levels of inflammation (炎症) and lower scores on cognitive (认知) tests than those who exercise outside in the suburbs. They found that high levels of air pollution in the city deny people some of the brain-boosting benefits of exercise, such as the enhanced ability to absorb new information and a reduced chance of mental health problems. 据英国《每日邮报》报道，最新研究表明，户外运动对大脑可能弊大于利。比利时的研究人员发现，经常在户外运动的城市居民比在郊外锻炼的人更容易得炎症，在认知测试中得分也较低。研究称，城市重度空气污染使人无法享受运动对大脑的好处，如提高接收新信息的能力和降低心理疾病的几率。

When Apple's flagship store in Sanlitun shopping district in Beijing opened at 8 am Friday, only 2 customers stood inside a cordon (警戒线) set up by Apple staff. Meanwhile, several media reporters fought to interview at the store those who had just bought an iPhone 5. "Reporters outnumbered customers" could properly describe the sales situation of the iPhone 5 when initially hitting stores in the Chinese mainland. 相比去年iPhone 4S的火爆场面，今年行货iPhone 5发售情况可谓冷清得可怜。14日上午8点，当苹果位于北京三里屯的旗舰店专卖店开张时，只有两名消费者站在苹果店员拉起的警戒线内。与此同时，现场出现几家媒体争抢采访购买iPhone 5消费者的情况，"记者比消费者多"可以很好的形容iPhone 5中国大陆首销的场面。 ['首秀'惨淡为哪班] This year, Apple launched a new rule to release iPhone 5 in the mainland, requiring customers to apply online a day before to buy the device. 今年，苹果在大陆推出了行货iPhone 5发售新政策，消费者需提前一天通过网上预约的方式进行购买。 --The cheapest model of the iPhone 5 is retailing for RMB5288 ($850) in Chinese mainland, well above the $650 selling price in the US, which led a lot of residents on the mainland going abroad to purchase the phones. 在中国大陆，最便宜的iPhone 5零售价格也达5288元(约合850美元)，远高于美国650美元的售价。这使得许多中国人纷纷出国时买iPhone 5。 --Though Apple remains king of the high-end smartphone in the Chinese mainland, it has slowly lost market share to phones running Google Inc's Android operating system offered by companies like Samsung Electronics Co. 虽然目前苹果依然是中国内地高端智能手机之王，然而三星电子等公司出售的、搭载谷歌安卓操作系统的手机正慢慢侵蚀其市场份额。

    【Language Tips】 'Where's the beef?' ---------- Beef是牛肉的意思。从字面意思上来看，这句话是在问"牛肉在哪里？它源自一名顾客对一家快餐店里汉堡包的质疑和不满。后来演变为日常生活中常见的习语，表示"没有实质性的东西或意义"。就连民主党总统候选人蒙代尔在1984年总统竞选时都曾用这句话来攻击他的对手里根总统。"Where's the beef, Mr. President - where's the beef?"意思是：你不要尽说空话，总统先生，我们要看实质性的成就。 请看例句: Our history teacher is a good talker but there isn't much real meat about history in what he says.

    [移民英国的印度后裔] "一流的护士"、"天主教徒"、"贤妻良母"，关于萨尔达尼亚的一切描述都让人很难和一个自杀者联系起来。她和丈夫还有两个孩子10年前从印度西南部的芒格洛尔移民至英国。46岁的萨尔达尼亚已经在爱德华七世医院工作了4年，丈夫是英国国家医疗服务系统内的一名会计师。 A first-class nurse, practicing Catholic, loving wife and caring mom, 46-year-old Saldanha looked nothing like a woman who would commit suicide. She moved to the UK 10 years ago from Mangalore in southwest India with her husband and 2 children. She joined the staff in the King Edward VII Hospital 4 years ago, and her husband is an NHS accountant. [规矩正直的她羞愧而死] 但她确实自杀了。萨尔达尼亚的哥哥向《每日邮报》表示，萨尔达尼亚是个"规规矩矩且正直的人"，她可能"因羞愧而死"。因为自己无意中令同事违反了医疗保密协定，泄露了王妃孕情，她的心理备受摧残。感觉自己和医院都因此"蒙羞"，这样的想法很可能导致她极端地结束了自己的生命。 But she harmed herself. Saldanha's brother told the Daily Mail that his sister was a "proper and righteous person" and she may have "died of shame". She would have been "devastated" at unwittingly (不知情地) assisting a colleague in breaching medical confidentiality over the condition of the Duchess of Cambridge, he said. The feeling that she had brought shame on her and her employer may well have pushed her into taking desperate action. ['羞耻感'深植印度文化] "羞愧"一词深植于印度文化之中，这或许可以帮助我们理解为什么萨尔达尼亚会"羞愧至死"。在印度，即使是被客人婉拒了食物和饮料，人们都会感到羞愧、丢脸、尴尬、甚至被侮辱。上周，29岁的印度富商麦赫塔布在大街上将自己22岁的妹妹妮洛弗斩首。麦赫塔布告诉警方，他这么做是因为妹妹与一男子私奔"令家族蒙羞"。这在印度被叫做"荣誉杀人"或"遮羞杀人"。 India has a shame-based culture. This may help us understand why the feeling of shame could kill Saldanha. In India, people will experience shame, humiliation, embarrassment, and feel dishonored if the guest refuses their offered food and drink. Last week, an Indian named Mehtab Alam, 29, beheaded his sister Nilofer, 22, on the street. The wealthy businessman told police that he had killed his sister because her eloping(私奔) with a man "dishonored the family." This is called "honor killing".

    [电台主播成'千夫所指'] 打恶作剧电话的电台主播梅尔·克雷格和迈克尔·克里斯蒂安成为了千夫所指的罪魁祸首，有人更是直接形容他们"手上沾满了鲜血"。然而在愤怒的浪潮中，也有人为他俩叫屈。《好莱坞生活》网站编辑邦妮·富勒写道：你可以骂他们无知、愚蠢、无礼，但是他们真的无法预料到自己的恶作剧竟然令一个善良的女人丧生。 An outpouring of anger is being directed at the 2 Australian radio hosts behind the practical joke(恶作剧), Mel Greig and Michael Christian, with some using the phrase "blood on their hands". However, some are backing the radio show hosts. Bonnie Fuller of HollywoodLife.com writes that "call them callow(年轻无经验的), stupid, irreverent(无礼的), if you like, but they couldn't possibly have predicted that their trick would lead to the death of a good woman. --澳媒:这是政治迫害 澳大利亚媒体的评论员们纷纷指责英国媒体和民众将此事拿到Twitter和Facebook上大做文章，是在对两人发起了一场政治迫害。《悉尼先驱晨报》形容英媒对两人的鞭笞几近"凶残"。《先驱太阳报》称两位DJ可能面临和萨尔达尼亚一样的命运。"想把更多人逼到崩溃边缘么？继续朝他们尖叫'你手上沾血'吧！"报纸还称，怪罪两人不堪的品味是一回事，但是责怪他们杀了人则是极度不公正的行为，这些指手划脚的人本身就是伪善者。 Many Australian media commentators(评论员) accused the British media and members of the public, who took to Twitter and Facebook to lambast(严厉责骂) the DJs, of a "witchhunt". The Sydney Morning Herald described the backlash in the British media as "ferocious"(凶残的). The Herald Sun said that the DJs could potentially face the same fate as Saldanha. "Want to push more people over the edge? Keep on screaming 'blood on their hands'. To be guilty of bad taste is one thing but to be held guilty of manslaughter is monstrously unfair, and makes the finger pointers seem like hypocrites(伪君子)." [不顾后果'恶搞风'酿祸] 《每日邮报》称，萨尔达尼亚是当前漫不经心式文化的殉葬品。这起事件提醒人们，每一个不顾及他人的恶作剧都有一个受害者，没有人能预料在某些人眼中只是"好笑"的事情，另一个脆弱的个体会做何反应。公众也应该负一部分责任，有多少事后在Twitter上表达愤怒的人，最初听到DJ们滑稽的伪英国口音时其实笑得很开心？ The Daily Mail said Saldanha was "a victim of today's culture of casual cruelty". The event is a reminder that every thoughtless prank has a victim and that nobody can predict how a vulnerable individual will react to what somebody else thinks of as "a bit of fun". The public must take its share of the blame too. For how many of those people who have tweeted their outrage, had a good laugh when they first heard the ludicrous(滑稽的) faux-Brit accents?

    --"把文明社会凝聚在一起的，是每个人对其行为及后果的理解，是社会成员彼此间的一种责任感，这种责任感在于充分照顾别人的感受，同时在一定程度上允许公平的小玩笑和善意的幽默。而这一切，都应基于一些最基本的理念，那就是人性、尊严、同情和尊敬。"——《纽约时报》 "What holds a civilized society together is an understanding of action and consequence, a duty of care to each other that allows some elasticity for fair mischief and good humor, but does not contravene (抵触) a handful of basic tenets (原则): humanity, dignity, compassion, respect." - The New York Times [王室恶搞电话非第一次] 事实上，这并不是王室成员第一次成为恶作剧电话的目标。1995年，加拿大DJ皮埃尔·巴萨德假装加拿大总理克雷蒂安，接通了英女王的电话。两人交谈了15分钟，他甚至诱导女王做出承诺，将影响魁北克脱离加拿大的投票决议。 The royals have been the target of hoax callers before. In 1995 Canadian DJ Pierre Brassard, pretending to be Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien, was put through to the Queen. The pair spoke for around 15 minutes and he even managed to elicit a promise that she would try to influence Quebec's referendum on proposals to break away from Canada.

    【Cover Story】 >US gun laws flawed 美枪支法被批漏洞百出 Friday's horrific shooting that left 20 children and 8 adults dead in Connecticut, revived the familiar US gun law debate, where restrictions vary widely between states. The federal government regulates "very, very little," noted Robyn Thomas, executive director of the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, AFP reported. 美国康涅狄格州14日发生令人震惊的枪击案，造成20名儿童和8名成人丧生。据法新社报道，此案再次引发有关美国枪支法律的争论，而美各州枪管法大相径庭。美国防止枪支暴力组织法律中心执行主任罗宾·托马斯表示，联邦政府对枪支"几乎完全疏于监管"。 [私人交易不受约束] The Brady Law requires federal background checks on firearm purchasers in the US. It is intended to detect any potential red flags in an individual's criminal and mental health history. But 40% of arms sales are not affected by the law, because they take place between private individuals, including through websites, or at gun shows. Such sales are not regulated by the federal government. 布雷迪法案规定，在美国枪支购买者须接受联邦背景调查。该法旨在甄别出枪支购买者有无犯罪前科或心理健康不良记录。然而，40%的枪支交易不受此法约束，因为个人可以通过网络、枪支展会等进行枪支交易。上述交易并不受联邦法律管辖。 [检查系统漏洞巨大] The National Instant Criminal Background Check System, maintained by the FBI, has its own loopholes. The Mayors Against Illegal Guns Organization found that millions of files on people with mental health issues were not included in the database. 联邦调查局的全国犯罪背景即时检查系统也有漏洞。反对非法枪支市长联盟发现，数百万份的心理健康问题档案并未包括进FBI的这一犯罪背景调查系统。 [各州立法难于监管] Most laws restricting gun sales take place at the state level. And within the 50 US states, variations in gun laws can make it easier for people to evade restrictions. Thirteen states do not consult background checks compiled outside the vendors' state. Any criminal history in another state or at the federal level would thus be left out. 美国大多数限制枪支购买的法律是由各州出台的，而50个州之间枪支法律上的差异也使得人们可以较容易地逃避法律监管。在13个州，州外购枪者无需接受背景调查，这意味着在外州的犯罪记录或联邦层面的犯罪记录可以逃脱检查。

It came after a post said online there is something fishy going on, as the bank's Jinan branch recruits university graduates.

Twenty children were gunned down by a mentally unstable man at an elementary school in Connecticut, the US, and 22 children were stabbed by a mentally ill 36-year-old man at a school in Henan, China.

    【Language Tips】 'Skin game' ---------- Skin是皮肤，但当skin这个字用在美国俗语里的时候，它还可以解释为欺诈某人以骗取他的钱财。在短语skin game中，我们不能按照字面意思译为"和皮肤做游戏"，而是译为"通过任何不诚实的方式来进行赌博"，也就是"骗局，欺诈"。这个说法从19世纪中期美国内战期间就开始在美国人当中流行了。 请看例句: In a bar in Chicago last week these 3 guys invited me to a friendly poker game. They let me win the first couple of hands and then upped the stakes. Do you know, I'd lost 5000 bucks by the time I realized I'd been caught in a skin game. 上星期在芝加哥的一个酒吧里，有3个人请我一起去打扑克牌玩。他们先让我赢了几局，然后就把赌注加大。你可知道，等我意识到我掉入了圈套时，我已经输了5000美元了。

But Cliff, a 2-year-old Beagle (比格犬), shows enthusiasm for a far more unusual reason. The perceptive pooch (狗) has been trained to sniff out Clostridium difficile (艰难梭菌), a superbug bacteria found in patients, with great success, the Daily Mail of London reported. By simply sniffing around a hospital bed, he can detect whether patients are carrying the deadly infection. Cliff first used his detection abilities to test stool samples, which have a distinct odor when someone has the bug. 据英国《每日邮报》报道，大多数狗狗闻到骨头的香味会变得兴奋，但2岁大的比格犬柯利弗却与众不同，它闻到病人身上携带的超级病菌——艰难梭菌时会变得兴奋。经过训练后的柯利弗只需要在病床的周围嗅上一圈，就能成功分辨出这种病菌的携带者。柯利弗最开始是靠闻病人的便样来确定病菌的，因为带有艰难梭菌的患者其粪便的气味比较独特。

    【Kaleidoscope】 >Pony rides subway in Berlin 小马乘地铁引围观(图) Subway passengers in Berlin got a surprise when a brown pony boarded the carriage, the Daily Mail of London reported. A mystery blonde woman nonchalantly led her horse on to the train. She held the horse on a short leash as it stood patiently surveying other passengers. Fellow commuters were bemused by the bizarre scene, but quick to photograph and film the cute pony. However, an S-Bahn (德国地铁) spokesman failed to see the funny side of the incident, saying the equine passenger clearly violated its travel policy. 据英国《每日邮报》报道，一匹棕色小马日前出现在德国柏林地铁内，令乘客们大感意外。当时，一名神秘金发女郎若无其事地将马牵入地铁车厢内，那匹马被一根短皮绳牵着，很耐心地站着打量身边的乘客。同乘者对这一怪异景象颇感困惑，但很快便开始为这匹可爱小马拍照录影。德国地铁部门发言人显然不认为此事可笑，并称这位马乘客违反了运输条例。
