新聞報(bào)道英文范文：上百枚里約奧運(yùn)會獎(jiǎng)牌生銹被召回

　　Olympic medals for more than 130 winners from the Rio de Janeiro Games last summer are rusting or chipping, according to officials.

　　巴西奧組委官員表示，130多名里約奧運(yùn)會獲勝者的獎(jiǎng)牌出現(xiàn)生銹或落屑問題。

　　“We’re seeing problems with the covering on between 6 or 7% of the medals, and it seems to do with the difference in temperatures,” Rio Games communications officer Mario Andrada told reporters.

　　里約奧運(yùn)會發(fā)言人馬里奧-安德拉達(dá)告訴記者：“大約6%到7%的獎(jiǎng)牌表面出現(xiàn)了問題，看起來與溫差有關(guān)?！?/p>

　　He added that the decaying was “completely normal” after nine months, since only 1.34% of the medals are actually gold, and 30% of the sterling silver came from recycled silver.

　　他補(bǔ)充說，在9個(gè)月之后出現(xiàn)這種腐銹現(xiàn)象“完全正?！?，因?yàn)閮H有1.34%的獎(jiǎng)牌是純金的，而純銀獎(jiǎng)牌中有30%是由再生銀制成的。

　　"The most common issue is that they were dropped or mishandled, and the varnish has come off and they've rusted or gone black in the spot where they were damaged," Andrada said.

　　他說：“最常見的問題是獎(jiǎng)牌被摔或保存不當(dāng)，受損的地方就會出現(xiàn)表面脫落或生銹發(fā)黑的情況?！?/p>

　　The International Olympic Committee and Rio organizers are planning a system to replace the medals for those who are unsatisfied with the defective medals, Andrada said.

　　安德拉達(dá)表示，國際奧組委和里約奧運(yùn)主辦方計(jì)劃設(shè)立召回流程，對有瑕疵的獎(jiǎng)牌不滿的獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)呖筛鼡Q獎(jiǎng)牌。

　　At the London Olympic Games in 2012, organizers provided instructions to medalists on how to keep their medals in mint condition, but did not specify any detail on room temperature. Medals for each Olympics vary in how they are made, however. The Olympic medals for the 2020 Games in Tokyo, for instance, are expected to be composed of recycled cellphones and small appliances donated by Japanese citizens.

　　2012年倫敦奧運(yùn)會召開時(shí)，主辦方為獲勝者提供了獎(jiǎng)牌保存指南，但沒有對保存的室溫做出明確規(guī)定。但每屆奧運(yùn)會獎(jiǎng)牌的制成方法不同。比如2020年東京奧運(yùn)會的獎(jiǎng)牌將由日本民眾捐贈的手機(jī)和小家電回收制成。

　　The news of the defective medals comes in light of many Olympic venues in Rio deteriorating quickly after the Games, with a federal prosecutor recently saying that the venues are “white elephants” that were built with “no planning” for usage after the Olympics.

　　此前媒體曝光稱，里約奧運(yùn)會的很多比賽場館在賽事結(jié)束后很快就破敗不堪。一位聯(lián)邦檢察官近日表示，這些場館是“無用又昂貴之物”，修建時(shí)官方就對賽后的場館利用“毫無計(jì)劃”。

　　新聞報(bào)道英文范文：中美最新貿(mào)易協(xié)議將讓誰獲益

　　The events of the last week have crowded out reflection on economic policy. But things have been happening. Wilbur Ross, the US commerce secretary, described the trade deal reached with China earlier this month as “pretty much a Herculean accomplishment….This is more than has been done in the history of US-China relations on trade.”

　　上周的各種事件沖淡了有關(guān)經(jīng)濟(jì)政策的反思。但事情還是在發(fā)生。美國商務(wù)部長威爾伯?羅斯(Wilbur Ross)將本月早些時(shí)候美國與中國達(dá)成的貿(mào)易協(xié)議稱為“一項(xiàng)非常偉大的成就...超過美中貿(mào)易關(guān)系史上所有成果”。

　　Past a certain point, exaggeration and hype become dishonesty and deception. In economic policy, as in almost everything else, the Trump Administration is way past that point. The trade deal is a “nothing burger” that a serious administration committed to helping American workers would likely not have accepted, and surely would not have hyped.

　　超過一定限度，夸大和炒作就會變成不誠實(shí)和欺騙。在經(jīng)濟(jì)政策領(lǐng)域，就像在幾乎其他任何問題上一樣，特朗普政府已遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過這一限度。這項(xiàng)貿(mào)易協(xié)議“空有其表”，一個(gè)致力于幫助美國勞動者的嚴(yán)肅政府可能不會接受這項(xiàng)協(xié)議，也肯定不會炒作它。

　　On agriculture, China reiterated a promise that it has broken in the past to let in more beef. Previously, the US, as reciprocity, had been withholding publication of a permissive rule on Chinese poultry. Now we have relented. Advantage: China.

　　在農(nóng)業(yè)領(lǐng)域，中國重申了其過去曾食言的進(jìn)口更多美國牛肉的承諾。此前，按照對等原則，美國一直未發(fā)布讓中國禽肉得以進(jìn)入美國的規(guī)定。如今，我們松動了。受益者：中國。

　　Nothing else “achieved” has any meaningful nexus with US jobs. China will review product applications for eight biotech products. It promises to offer increased scope for US credit rating agencies, and electronic payment platforms. But it is far from clear that US firms will in fact be able to compete in China — and it is clear that if they do, it will be by hiring Chinese workers in China, not American workers in America. And finally, two US firms will get some enhanced ability to do bond and stock underwriting — again a benefit to shareholders and local staff rather than to US employment.

　　“已達(dá)成”的其他所有成果都與美國就業(yè)沒有實(shí)質(zhì)關(guān)系。中國將對8種生物科技產(chǎn)品的產(chǎn)品申請進(jìn)行審核。中國承諾擴(kuò)大美國信用評級機(jī)構(gòu)以及電子支付平臺的準(zhǔn)入。但目前還遠(yuǎn)不清楚，美國公司是否真正能夠在中國展開競爭，顯然，如果要在華展開競爭，它們就要在中國聘用中國勞動者，而非在美國聘用美國勞動者。最后，有兩家美國公司將獲得在華開展債券和股票承銷業(yè)務(wù)的更大自由，這將有利于股東和中國當(dāng)?shù)貑T工，但對美國就業(yè)毫無幫助。

　　What was given up? In addition to the leverage sacrificed by committing to issue the poultry rule, other meaningful concessions were made. First, the US has agreed to allow exports of liquefied natural gas to China. To at least a small extent, that would mean higher heating costs for US consumers and higher energy costs for US producers.

　　我們放棄了什么?除了因承諾發(fā)布禽肉規(guī)定而犧牲的籌碼之外， 美國還做出了其他重大讓步。首先，美國同意允許向中國出口液化天然氣。這將意味著美國消費(fèi)者的供暖成本以及美國生產(chǎn)商的能源成本將至少小幅提高。

　　Second, in the context of a trade negotiation, concessions were made on how US commodities regulators would view derivatives traded in Shanghai and how US bank regulators would treat Chinese banks doing business in the US. While I suspect the concessions were not major, this is reinforcing the valid concern that trade agreements may undercut the ability of regulators to protect American financial stability and more generally challenge regulatory sovereignty.

　　其次，在貿(mào)易談判的背景下，在美國大宗商品監(jiān)管者如何看待在上海交易的衍生品以及美國銀行監(jiān)管者將如何對待在美國開展業(yè)務(wù)的中資銀行方面，美國做出了讓步。盡管我推測這些讓步并不大，但這鞏固了以下合理擔(dān)憂：貿(mào)易協(xié)議可能會削弱監(jiān)管者保護(hù)美國金融穩(wěn)定的能力，并在更普遍意義上挑戰(zhàn)美國監(jiān)管獨(dú)立性。

　　Third, we agreed to embrace – by sending high level representatives – China’s One Belt One Road initiative. It is almost certainly better to be in than out of this tent, but we should be getting something in return for the legitimacy we are conferring.

　　第三，我們同意(通過派出高級代表)接納中國的“一帶一路”計(jì)劃。加入其中幾乎肯定要好于被排除在外，但我們的認(rèn)可應(yīng)得到某些回報(bào)。

　　Now it is true that a ludicrously hyped squib of a deal is much better than a trade war. So perhaps we should be pleased that President Trump and Mr Ross are so easily manipulated. Perhaps our officials know how bad a deal they got and are just hyping for political reasons. It is an irony of our times that those who most frequently denounce “fake news” seem to most frequently purvey it.

　　一項(xiàng)被過分炒作、令人失望的貿(mào)易協(xié)議確實(shí)遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)好于打貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)。因此，我們或許應(yīng)該為特朗普和羅斯如此輕易地就被操縱感到高興?；蛟S，我們的官員知道他們獲得的是一項(xiàng)多么糟糕的協(xié)議，炒作僅僅是出于政治原因。這是我們這個(gè)時(shí)代的諷刺：那些最頻繁譴責(zé)“虛假消息”的人，似乎是虛假消息最頻繁的散布者。
