美国和英国居然有不少人相信地球是平的

"People are waking up," said the event organizer Gary John. "We're seeing an explosion of interest in Flat Earth theories and increasing mistrust of governments."

活动组织者 Gary John 说：“人们正在清醒过来，我们已经看到全世界有越来越多的人对扁平地球的理论感兴趣了，而且大家对政府的不信任也在增加。”

"One is that, go look or stand outside - the world is clearly not moving!" he said.

他说：“第一点就是，你只要往外面看看，在外面站一站就能发现了，这个世界显然没有在转动!”

The second is that "no matter where you live on this supposed ball, you seem to live right on top of it."

而第二点就是：“不管你住在这个所谓的球上的哪一点，你似乎总是恰好站在它的顶端上。”

"Someone should be living on the side of the ball, with a perfectly vertical landscape, and people should be living underneath it, walking upside down," reasoned Nesbit.

Nesbit 分析到：“总会有些人是住在球的侧面的吧，那里的景象应该是完全竖直的，还有些人会住在球的底部，那里的东西应该是倒过来的。”

"We know that continuous east-west travel is a reality," he said, according to The Telegraph.

根据《每日电讯报》报道，他说：“我们已经知道东西方向的连续旅行是真实可行的，”

"One logical possibility for those who are truly free thinkers is that space-time wraps around and we get a Pac-Man effect."

“而对于那些真正自由的思考者来说，我们可以为此想出一个合乎逻辑的可能解释：那就是，时空在世界的边缘是扭曲的，我们的世界有个吃豆人效应。”

"My research destroys Big Bang cosmology," speaker David Marsh claimed, according to The Telegraph. "It supports the idea that gravity doesn't exist and the only true force in nature is electromagnetism."

同样根据《每日电讯报》的报道，发言人 David Marsh 声称：“我的研究彻底摧毁了大爆炸宇宙模型，这项研究可以说明引力并不存在，而自然界中唯一真实存在的力是电磁力。”(这后面半句还蛮专业的)

故宫博物院北院区正式开建

After years of preparation, construction of a branch of the Palace Museum formally kicked off last Wednesday in Beijing's northwestern outskirts.

经过多年筹备，故宫博物院新院区于上周三在北京市西北郊正式开建。

The branch, covering about 620,000 sq m in the north of Haidian district, will serve as a satellite institution of the complex.

新院区位于海淀区北部，占地约62万平方米，将作为故宫本院的附属机构。

The branch will include 35,000 sq m of exhibition space, a conservation center of 20,000 sq m for cultural relics, and a warehouse of 23,000 sq m, according to Shan Jixiang, director of the Palace Museum.

据故宫博物院院长单霁翔介绍，新院区将包括3.5万平方米的展览空间、2万平方米的文物修复中心和2.3万平方米的库房。

Plans call for it to fully open in June 2022, but the conservation center may be ready for visits by the public in 2020, when the Forbidden City will celebrate its 600th birthday, Shan said.

单霁翔称，按照计划新院区将于2022年6月全部开放，但到2020年故宫建成600周年之际，文物修复中心可能率先向公众开放。

"Having such an institution will improve our service and expand our room to display our collections," he said.

他表示：“新院区将提升故宫博物院服务观众的能力、扩大藏品展示空间。”

The lack of sufficient exhibition space has been a lingering problem for the museum, which houses more than 1.86 million cultural relics.

院藏186万余件文物的故宫博物院一直深受展览空间不足问题的困扰。

The need to provide a safe and secure environment for artifacts exhibited in the ancient buildings has meant that only 2 percent of the museum's treasures can be simultaneously displayed to the public.

由于需要为古建筑中展出的文物提供安全可靠的环境，这就意味着只有2%的博物馆宝藏可以同时向公众展示。

"Our collections of large items, like the huge number of tapestries and sedan chairs, particularly need exhibition spaces," Shan said. "It's currently impossible to display them in the Forbidden City, but the new museum will offer good conditions to put them on display."

单霁翔表示：“我们收藏的大件物品，如大量的挂毯和轿子，尤其需要展览空间。目前我们没法在故宫展示它们，但新院区将为展示它们提供良好的条件。”

老外喜欢哪些中国产品?

Lao Gan Ma, especially chili sauce flavor with picture of a middle-age women printed on it. Literally one of the best sauces, I think. All people who have known what I felt are not surprised when they saw me eating three piece of bread with a bottle of Lao Gan Ma.

老干妈，尤其是辣椒味且上印有一位中年妇女的那款。我觉得这是最好的一款辣酱。任何跟我尝过相同东西的人，在看到我抱着一瓶老干妈吃了三片面包时都不会吃惊。

I would definitely have to say that I love my Chinese-brand Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. This phone is cheap, performs as if it costs twice it’s $280 price, is completely customizable, slick, and has a whole lot of memory storage.

我可以很肯定的说我超爱我的中国手机——小米的红米Note3 pro，这款手机很便宜，但用起来完全不像只要280美元的手机，而且它完全可定制、灵巧，并且内存很大。

I just love this drink. Can never get enough of it.

我只爱这款饮料，而且永远喝不够。

Wong Lo Kat or Wanglaoji in pinyin, is a Chinese herbal tea, and one of the more popular tea drinks in China today. It is sold in many forms and different types of containers.

王老吉，是一款中国中草药茶，现今是中国越来越火的茶饮之一。以各种形式、各种类型容器贩卖。

荷兰出新规禁止骑行者使用手机!

Using a mobile phone while cycling is to be banned in the Netherlands amid mounting safety fears in a country where bikes outnumber people.

荷兰的自行车比人还多，这使得人们对安全隐患的担忧渐增，因此荷兰将禁止骑车时用手机。

A draft law scheduled to take effect next July will extend an existing 2002 ban on car and lorry drivers using their mobile phones at the wheel unless in hands-free mode to "the use of a mobile electronic device while driving any vehicle (including a bicycle)".

荷兰2002年已出台禁令，禁止汽车和卡车司机开车时用手机(免提模式除外)，一项将于明年7月生效的法律草案将在此基础上把禁令修改为禁止“在驾驶任何车辆(包括自行车)时使用移动电子设备”。

The Dutch transport minister, Cora van Nieuwenhuizen, said the law was needed because the advent of social media and unlimited mobile data had changed how people used smartphones and the time they spent on them.

荷兰交通部长科拉·凡·钮文惠真称，社交媒体的出现和无限的数据流量已经改变了人们使用智能手机的方式和花在手机上的时间，因此实施这一法律很有必要。

Cyclists were excluded from the initial ban because of their lower speeds, Van Niewenhuizen said.

凡·钮文惠真表示，最初的禁令不涉及骑行者，是因为骑车速度相对较慢。

"But in fact, using a phone is just as dangerous on a bike as it is in a car," she said. "The fact is that whenever you're on the road you should be paying full attention and not doing anything at all on a phone."

她说：“但事实上，骑车用手机和开车用手机一样危险。无论何时，只要你在马路上，都应该集中注意力，而不要用手机做任何事。”

The increasing popularity of electric bikes meant cyclists' average speed had risen, the minister added, while the country's 22,000 miles of cycle lanes and paths had become more crowded.

这位部长称，电动自行车越来越受欢迎，这意味着骑自行车的人的平均速度提高了，而该国2.2万英里长的自行车道和小道变得更加拥挤。

The Netherlands has more bikes -- about 22.5m -- than people: 17 million. Almost a quarter of the population cycles every day and cycle use has increased by about 12% since 2005; the average Dutch cyclist now covers more than 600 miles a year in 250-300 trips.

荷兰的自行车(2250万辆)比人(1700万)还多。近四分之一的人口每天都要骑车，自2005年以来，自行车使用量增加了约12%;荷兰骑车者每年平均出行250到300次，里程超600英里。
