The scientists, whose latest findings appear in the journal Current Biology, believe Borealopelta was washed out to sea after it died and mummified in mud.

最新研究发现出现在《当代生物学》杂志上的科学家们相信，结节龙死后被冲到海里，之后在泥土中形成了木乃伊。


The creature was found by Shawn Funk, when he was digging at the Millenium Mine near Fort McMurray in northern Alberta, Canada, on March 21, 2011.

2011 年 3 月 21 日，肖恩?芬克在加拿大阿尔伯塔省麦克默里堡附近的千禧矿场挖掘到该生物。


According to the museum, it is the best preserved armoured dinosaur in the world, including skin and armour, and is complete from the snout to hips.

据博物馆介绍，它是世界上保存最完好的披甲恐龙，从鼻子到臀部的区域中的皮肤和盔甲等都是完整的。


The creatures were around 18 feet (five metres) long on average, and weighted up to 3,000 pounds (1,300 kg).

这种生物平均长约 18 英尺（5 米），重达 3000 磅（1300 公斤） 。


It featured two 20-inch-long spikes which protruded from its shoulders.

它有两个 20 英寸长的、从肩部突起的尖角。


The researchers believe that the this armored plant-eater lumbered through what is now western Canada, until a flooded river swept it into open sea.

研究人员认为，这种草食披甲恐龙在现在的加拿大西部地区活动，之后被爆发洪水的河流冲入大海。


But the dinosaur's undersea burial preserved its armor in exquisite detail.

但是，这种恐龙葬身海底使其披甲得以完整保存。


The fossilised remains of this particular specimen are so well preserved that remnants of skin still cover bumpy armour plates along the dinosaur's skull.

这种特殊样本的化石遗骸保存非常完好，使残留的皮肤仍然覆盖着恐龙头骨上凹凸不平的甲片。


As Michael Greshko wrote for National Geographic, such level of preservation 'is a rare as winning the lottery.

正如迈克尔?格瑞斯考 (Michael Greshko) 在《国家地理》杂志上所写的那样，这种保存程度就像中彩一样，是十分罕见的。


The more I look at it, the more mind-boggling it becomes.

我越看越觉得它令人难以置信。


Fossilized remnants of skin still cover the bumpy armor plates dotting the animal's skull.

残留的皮肤化石仍然覆盖在恐龙颅骨上斑驳的盔甲之上。


Its right forefoot lies by its side, its five digits splayed upward.

它的右前掌位于其侧面，五个足趾向上展开。


我可以将其甲片统计出来。”


Reporters understand that adding alginate, humic acid and amino acid nutrient carriers of natural or plant sources into the production process of urea would change modify and enhance the benefit of traditional urea. The alginate urea, zinc fulvate urea and aminoglutanic acid urea nitrogen utilization rate was 5 to 10 percentage points higher than general urea.

记者了解到，将天然或植物源的海藻酸类、腐植酸类和氨基酸类增效载体加入到尿素生产工艺中可对传统尿素进行改性增效，形成的海藻酸尿素、锌腐酸尿素、禾谷素尿素氮素利用率较普通尿素提高5～10个百分点。


In a positive environment, an increase in crop yield potential will be significant; in particular, large value-added urea pallets are quality raw materials for bulk blending fertilizer.

环境友好，作物增产潜力明显，尤其大颗粒增值尿素更是BB肥的优质原料。


The total number of security personnel is double that of the 2012 London Olympics.

这一安保人员总数要比2012年伦敦奥运会的安保人数多出一倍。


In order to ensure the safety of the Rio Olympics, Brazil will start the largest ever security linkage plan.

为确保里约奥运会的安全，巴西将启动有史以来最大规模的安保联动计划。


Earlier, Brazil government has said that a total of 85,000 troops and polices, including 20,000 troops and 65,000 polices, will fight together for the security of the Olympics.

之前，巴西政府表示，来自军队和警察的总共8.5万人将协同作战，其中包括2万名军人和6.5万名警察。


Most troops will be responsible for safeguarding the Olympic venues, while the new 3,000 troops will be responsible for the security of international airports, subway stations and streets.

大部分军人将负责保卫奥运场馆，而新增的3000名军人将负责国际机场、地铁站和街道的安保工作。


The polices will patrol around other areas of the city, including subways, buses and streets.

警察则在城市其他地方巡逻，包括地铁、公交和街道。


It is reported that 6,000 soldiers have arrived in Rio and provided security services for the Olympics.

据悉，目前已经有6000名军人抵达里约为奥运安保服务。


In addition to the four competition areas, they will also patrol airports and main roads connecting airports to the Olympic venues.

他们除了负责里约奥运会的四大赛区外，还负责在机场以及连接机场和奥运场馆的主要道路上巡逻。


Appraisal mechanisms in the services sector are nothing new. The key to having these appraisal mechanisms play an effective role is to have more effective supervision, rather than being a mere formality.

服务行业引入评价机制早已不是新鲜事，要想使评价机制发挥实效，重要的是让监管更有效，不流于形式。


How one activist came to learn the answer to the question: 'Whose Streets?'

激进主义分子如何学习回答这个问题：“谁的街道？”


On Aug. 9, 2014, Brittany Ferrell was shaken to her core.

2014 年 8 月 9 日，布列塔尼·费雷尔内心惶惑不安。


Just a day after arriving in New York City on a trip, the St. Louis native sat on the bed of an Airbnb she was renting, scrolling through Facebook on her phone.

在抵达纽约市旅行的第一天，这位圣路易斯人就坐在爱彼迎租住床上，在手机上浏览脸谱网。


She stumbled upon a post from someone from high school.

她偶然发现一位高中生的帖子。


"The police just killed an 18 year old kid and he's still laying in the street," it read.

上面写道“警察刚杀死一个 18 岁的孩子，孩子还躺在街上”。


Confused, noticing no one else on her feed had posted the information, she closed Facebook and opened Twitter.

她发现馈送信息上没有其他人发布这条信息，她感到很困惑。她关了脸谱网，打开推特。


A user with the handle @TheePharoah was being constantly retweeted onto her timeline.

一位 @TheePharoah 用户不断给她推送动态时报。


The St. Louis-area rapper was live-tweeting the death of Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo.

圣路易斯地区的说唱歌手现场推特直播迈克尔·布朗的死亡事件。迈克尔·布朗是一名未携带武器的 18 岁黑人，在密苏里州弗格森被一名白人警察打死。


He posted a picture of Brown's lifeless body stretched out in the street, where it would stay for four hours.

他贴了一张布朗失去生命体征的身体躺在街上的图片，他的尸体在街上躺了四个小时。


"This is wild," Ferrell thought to herself.


But death was nothing new for her and her community.

但对她和她所在的社区来说，死亡并不是什么新鲜事。


She put down her phone only to return later that evening to tweets about people gathering on Canfield Drive.

她放下手机，直到当天晚上才再次打开推特，读到关于坎菲尔德大道众人聚集的推文。


There were photos of police tape and people yelling, and of a guy claiming to be Brown's father holding a sign that read, "Ferguson police just killed my unarmed son!"

有警察录像和人们叫喊的照片，还有一个自称是布朗父亲的人的照片，上面写着：“弗格森警察刚刚杀死了我手无寸铁的儿子！”


She watched a live feed where a police officer stood in front of a group of protesters with a barking dog.

她看到一条现场馈送消息，一名警察用带着一条吠犬站在一群抗议者面前。


In another video, a different cop, she said, cocked his rifle and screamed, "I'll kill all you ... animals."

她说，在另一个视频中，另一名警察举起他的步枪尖叫道：“我会杀死你们所有人......畜牲。”


"'This is not usual,'" Ferrell recalled saying.

“这不正常，”费雷尔回忆时说道。


"'This isn't the type of murder that we've become used to and can call typical.'

“这不是我们习以为常的、可以称之为典型的谋杀事件。”


那一刻，我感到不寒而栗。


She booked a return flight and went home the next day.

她预定了回程航班，第二天就回家了。


After landing at 11 p.m., she picked up her 6-year-old daughter from her dad's house and decided the two of them would head to Ferguson the next morning.

下午 11 点着陆后，她从父亲家接走了 6 岁的女儿，决定两人第二天早上前往弗格森。


What happened, to Ferrell and to Ferguson in the following almost three years is the subject of a new documentary, "Whose Streets?," in theaters Aug. 11.

在接下来的三年里，费雷尔和弗格森发生了什么事情，就是 8 月 11 日在影院上映的一部新纪录片“谁的街道？”的主题。


It's a tale of survival and protest, love and loss, strength and resilience from the vantage point of the people who live in the community and packed the streets demanding answers.

这是一个有关从居住在这个社区、挤满大街小巷要求获得答案的人们的角度，讲述生存和抗议、爱和失落、力量和坚韧的故事。


As Ferrell drove to Ferguson with her daughter, who was wearing a floral dress and matching crown, the two revisited a conversation they'd had countless times before that morning "about the black experience and black condition."

费雷尔和女儿（穿着花裙子、带着冠冕配饰）一起开车去弗格森时，两人重新讨论了她们在那天早上之前讨论过无数次的话题--“关于黑人经历和黑人状况”。


"You remember how I taught you about when black people had to fight for what they believed in?" she recalled saying.

“你还记得我教过你什么时候黑人不得不为自己的信仰而战吗？”她回忆道。


"We're going to Ferguson right now because the police killed an 18-year-old boy and it wasn't right.

“我们现在要去弗格森，因为警方杀死了一名 18 岁的男孩，这是不对的。


I couldn't not take her," Ferrell said later.

我不得不带上她，”费雷尔后来说。


"This happening today is a culmination of ... that has happened in the past.

“今天发生的事情是过去所有事情的......高潮。


She needs to know it and see it and be raised in it.

她要知道、看到并且从这件事中崛起。


She needs to be well developed in the area of not just activism and organizing but knowing the different layers of the black experience and the black condition and what we must do to get free, to free ourselves.

她不仅需要在激进主义和组织方面发展良好，而且要了解黑人经历和黑人状况的不同层面，了解我们必须做什么才能获得自由和解放。


Even if I'm fortunate enough to provide her an experience where she doesn't personally experience blatant racism, she is no different than the next black woman-child.

即使我有幸为她提供她没有亲身体验过的种族主义经历，她与别的黑人女孩也没有什么不同。


I feel like I would be doing her a disservice to shield her from that."

如果我在这件事情上保护她，我觉得我是在伤害她。”


The first stop when they arrived in Ferguson was on South Florissant Road, a site across from the police department that became a campground of sorts as the activists awaited word of Officer Darren Wilson's eventual non-indictment.

他们抵达弗格森的第一站位于南佛罗里桑路警察局对面的一个场地。激进分子等到警官达伦·威尔逊最终不予起诉的结果后，这个场地就成为了他们的营地。


There Ferrell and her daughter linked up with a local business owner who was making sack lunches.

费雷尔和她女儿与一位做袋装午餐的当地企业老板联系上。


They prepared bags and helped pass them out to protesters.

他们准备了袋子，负责将袋子传给抗议者。


Slowly, a new type of activism began to take shape for Ferrell.

慢慢地，费雷尔开始形成一种新型的行动主义。


"My activism completely transformed after Aug. 9," she said, noting that while an undergrad at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, she was president of the Minority Student Nurses Assn. and focused on food justice and health disparities in black communities.

她说道，“我的激进主义在 8 月 9 日之后彻底改变了。”在密苏里州立大学圣路易斯分校就读本科时，她是少数民族护士生协会主席，关注黑人社区的粮食正义与健康差距问题。


Weeks later, Ferrell met Sabaah Folayan, one of the film's co-directors, during an evening demonstration.

几周之后，费雷尔在一场夜间游行中与影片联合导演萨巴赫·福莱扬会面。


Folayan said she and her director of photography Lucas Alvarado-Farrar "just wanted to document" what was happening.

福莱扬说她和她的摄影导演卢卡斯·阿尔瓦拉多·法勒“只是想记录”发生了什么。


A question came to Ferrell's mind: "Do you want to document or are you trying to find a story that you can exploit?"

费雷尔脑海中浮现一个问题：“你是想记录还是想找到一个你可以加以利用的故事？”


That skepticism was informed by countless instances of people - often white - coming into a community to profit off its pain and resilience.

这种怀疑来源于很多这种案例：人们 - 通常是白人 - 进入一个社区，以从其痛苦和坚韧中获得利益。


As Folayan explained in a recent interview, "We had heard that people who are born and raised in Ferguson were not having their voices centered, and we wanted to do it differently."

正如福莱扬在最近一次采访中所解释的那样，“我们听说在弗格森土生土长的人们没有集中他们的声音，而我们想要以不同的方式去做。”


Folayan had already linked up with co-director Damon Davis, an area artist known for his activism around death row inmates.

福莱扬已经与联合导演戴蒙·戴维斯联系上。戴蒙·戴维斯是一位以针对死囚犯的激进主义而闻名的地区艺术家。


His involvement endeared Ferrell to the project, along with six other locals the "Whose Streets?" team followed in the years after Brown's shooting.

他的参与使费雷尔和其他六位当地人一起加入了“谁的街道？”项目团队，在布朗遭枪击之后几年中一直不离不弃。


"This documentary is not somebody speaking for us or speaking to us, it's us speaking," Davis said.

“这部纪录片不是有人为我们说话或与我们谈话，这是我们的发言。”戴维斯说。


"That was the main thing for me, how these people will be represented, because that's how I will be represented."

“我主要关注这些人物如何呈现，因为这也是我被呈现的方式。”


While the goal wasn't to focus on Ferrell's experience - in an effort to show that the movement is "not about a messiah leader but a community coming together," Folayan said - she proved to be the most open of the film's participants.

尽管目标不是关注费雷尔的经历 – 而是展现这次运动“不是关于救世主领导者，而是关于社区凝聚力”，福莱扬说 – 事实证明她是电影参与者中最开放的。


As a result, "Whose Streets?" documents surprisingly personal aspects of Ferrell's life, like falling in love and marrying her wife.

结果，“谁的街道？”令人惊讶地记录了费雷尔的个人生活，比如坠入爱河、步入结婚。


"I felt like I was naked," said Ferrell, laughing about the first time she saw the finished product.

“我感觉自己赤裸裸的，”费雷尔第一次看到成品时大笑起来。


"But I understood that with doing this work and humanizing black folks, there has to be a level of vulnerability."

“但我明白，做这项工作并将黑人人性化，必须要有一定程度的脆弱性。”


Moreover, Ferrell's story reiterates and re-centers the role of black queer women in the broader Black Lives Matter movement.

此外，费雷尔的故事重申并重新定位了黑人酷儿女性在更广泛的黑人生活事件运动中的角色。


Two of the movement's three founders - who coined #BlackLivesMatter on social media in the aftermath of the 2012 killing of black teen Trayvon Martin - identify as queer.

该运动三位创始人中的两位 -- 在 2012 年黑人青少年特雷沃恩·马丁枪击案之后在社交媒体上创造了#BlackLivesMatter -- 被认定为酷儿。


"Black queer women in leadership has sustained the movement overall," said Ferrell, "and that's because we're constantly at battle on multiple fronts.

“领导层中的黑人酷儿女性总体上支撑了这一运动，”费雷尔说，“那是因为我们在多个战线上不断战斗。


Black queer women have to bear the brunt of it all."

黑人酷儿女性必须承受这一切。”


Folayan agreed noting that "the movement is really upheld by black women and a lot of queer black women."

福莱扬同意并提到“这个运动真的得到了黑人女性和许多黑人酷儿女性的支持。”


She insists, however, that "this is not some affirmative action type of thing" where Ferrell was chosen as the film's heart because of her identities.

因为她的身份，费雷尔被选为影片的核心。然而，她坚称“这不是对为事情的肯定行动”。


"She was the person who was galvanizing this energy," she said.

“她是激发这种能量的人，”她说。


"It's not a coincidence though she was on the front lines, because living life at those intersections as a black queer woman, you have so much on the line.

“虽然她在前线，但这并不是巧合。因为在这些十字路口的生活中，作为一个黑人酷儿女性，你有很多事情要做。


You can feel her energy through the screen."

通过荧幕，你可以感受到她的能量。”


Meanwhile, back in Ferguson, the news cameras are long gone but fraught racial ties between the community and police persist.

与此同时，在弗格森，新闻摄影机早已消失，但社区和警方之间紧张的种族关系依然存在。


Ferrell is on probation for 2½ more years for blocking a highway during a demonstration.

由于在一次游行期间试图封锁高速公路，费雷尔被判两年半以上缓刑。


She describes the socio-political atmosphere of the area she calls home simply: "A mess."

她描述她称之为家的地区的社会政治氛围：“一团糟。”


Still, she clings to a chant she's committed to memory since taking to Ferguson's streets a full three years ago.

尽管如此，自从三年前走上弗格森街头时，她一直坚持自己努力铭记的圣歌。


"It is our duty to fight for our freedom.

“我们有责任为自由而战。


我们必须相亲相爱相互支持。


We have nothing to lose but our chains."

我们再无可失，除了身上的枷锁。”


Online translation services were actually already available on the Internet a decade ago, and in fact, a very long time ago, there was a prevalent view that “machines will replace human translation”.

事实上，十年之前网络上就已经提供在线翻译服务了，而其实在很早以前，关于“机器即将替代人类进行翻译”的论调就不绝于耳。


A Becoming Resemblance: artist creates portraits using Chelsea Manning's DNA

相似之处：艺术家使用切尔西?曼宁 (Chelsea Manning) 的 DNA 创作肖像


In the center of the room at New York's Fridman Gallery are multiple faces - white, black and brown, each bearing an almost imperceptible resemblance to one another - suspended on wires from the ceiling.

在纽约弗里德曼美术馆的展馆中央有多个面孔：白色、黑色和棕色的，每个面孔之间都有着几乎难以察觉的相似之处,这些面孔则由从天花板上垂下的线绳系着。


The 30 portraits were created by the artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg from cheek swabs and hair clippings sent to her by Chelsea Manning.

这30幅肖像画是由艺术家希瑟?杜威?哈格堡 (Dewey-Hagborg) 使用切尔西?曼宁寄给她的脸颊棉签和头发碎屑进行创作的。


Manning sent the clippings from the Fort Leavenworth prison, where the former intelligence analyst was serving a 35-year sentence after famously leaking classified diplomatic cables through the website WikiLeaks.

曼宁从利文沃斯堡监狱寄出头发碎屑，因通过维基解密网站泄露了机密外交电报，该名前情报分析人员被判处在此服刑35年。


The new exhibition, which opened on 2 August, is titled A Becoming Resemblance.

展览于 8 月 2 日开幕，标题是“相似之处”。


It's the product of two years of correspondence between Dewey-Hagborg, whose discipline combines her expertise in technology, computer science and art, and Manning, a trans woman and pioneering dissident whose sentence was commuted by Barack Obama when he had just three days left in office.

这是两年来杜威?哈格堡和曼宁的通信的成果，杜威?哈格堡将其学科与自己在技术、计算机科学和艺术相结合，而曼宁是一个著名的不同政见者，曾入狱，并在狱中完成了变性手术。美国前总统奥巴马在任期结束前三天，赦免了她剩余的刑罚。


By algorithmically analyzing DNA extracted from Manning and using it to create 30 portraits of what someone with that genomic data might look like, Dewey-Hagborg has created a trenchant, if somewhat cerebral, commentary on not only the malleability of DNA data - the many ways it can be interpreted, and the inherent determinism of those interpretations - but also identity.

通过从曼宁的 DNA 进行算法分析，并且以此创建了“很可能出现的外表”的 30 幅肖像。希瑟杜威·哈博格以此做出了一个尖刻又略有点无情的评论。他的评论既是对于 DNA 的多意性的，也是对于身份这一概念本身的。


Manning, who was born Bradley Edward but has spoken openly about identifying as a woman as early as adolescence, was convicted in 2013 on 20 charges, including six Espionage Act violations, computer fraud and theft.

曼宁出生时的名字叫布拉德利·爱德华 (Bradley Edward) ，曾公开承认在青春期就认为自己是一名女性。于 2013 年被定罪，涉及20项指控，其中包括 6 起间谍法违规行为，计算机欺诈和盗窃罪。


From prison, her image was repressed, so much so that there was just one photo - a granular, black-and-white selfie in which Manning, visibly uneasy, sits in a driver's seat wearing a platinum blonde wig - with which she became associated.

在狱中，她的形象是被抑制的，只有一张照片，具有颗粒感的黑白自拍照，看起来明显的不安，坐在驾驶座上，戴着铂金色的假发。


In 2015, Dewey-Hagborg was coming off the massive success of her 2012 project, Stranger Visions.

2015 年，希瑟杜威·哈博格在她 2012 年的项目《陌生人的脸 (Stranger Visions) 》中取得了巨大的成功。


In it, the artist produced portraits of strangers from forensic artifacts like cigarette butts and chewing gum, extracting DNA from the detritus to conjure an image of what these folks might look like.

那件作品中，她使用从烟蒂和口香糖中等法院物证,从碎屑中提取到的 DNA，创建可能相似长相的 3D 人物肖像。


That was when she received an email from Paper Magazine.

那是她正好收到来自 Paper 杂志的一封电子邮件。


"They were conducting an interview with Chelsea Manning while she was in prison and they wanted some kind of portrait to accompany that article," Dewey-Hagborg explained at a press preview of the new exhibition.

“他们想要采访在监狱里的切尔西·曼宁，并且需要一张肖像照 ”， 希瑟杜威·哈博格在展览开幕式上对媒体说道。


And she couldn't be visited and she couldn't be photographed at that time, so they reached out to Chelsea and asked if she'd be interested in having a DNA portrait made.

当时切尔西·曼宁不能参观，也不能拍照，所以他们联系切尔西，询问她是否有兴趣制作 DNA 肖像。


The artist and her incarcerated muse became unlikely pen pals, exchanging several letters over the course of two years.

于是，这位艺术家和她那被监禁的缪斯成为了本不可能的笔友，在两年的时间里相互交换了许多封信。


They even created a comic book, Suppressed Images, illustrated by Shoili Kanungo, that envisioned a future where the president would commute Chelsea's sentence and she'd be able to see the exhibition in person.

他们甚至创作了一本漫画书《压抑的头像》，由 Shoili Kanungo 所绘制。该漫画书预想总统将来可以对曼宁准许特权，她能够在狱中看到展览。


That Obama would indeed call for Manning's release just days after the book went public was a welcome sort of serendipity after seven brutal years at a military prison in Kansas.

而奥巴马就在书出版后的几天要求将她获释。这或许是一场机缘巧合，当时曼宁在堪萨斯军事监狱正好度过了第七个年头。


There's also something profound and powerful about the exhibition opening now, as Donald Trump wages war on government leakers and transgender troops while finding new, tweetable ways to further inflame the stark divisions he's been called on to mend.

此外，这个展览也有另一层深意。因为当代美国，特朗普政府不断地对政府泄密者和变性军人宣战，同时寻找新的、可以在推特上炒作的方式，来赤裸裸地煽动分裂，而这个展览正是要弥合这样的分裂。


When asked about the peculiar timing of it all, Dewey-Hagborg said that "things happen for a reason."

当被问及这一切特殊的时机，希瑟杜威·哈博格说，“任何事情的发生都有原因”。


In an artist statement written on the gallery's wall, Manning's super-sized signature below it (the "i" in her last name dotted with a heart), called for an end to the "automatic factionalism that gender, race, sexuality, and culture have been the basis of."

在画廊墙上写下的艺术家声明中，曼宁的超大号签名在下面 (名字中的“i”用一颗心来画出来) ，呼吁结束“以性别、性取向和文化为基础的党派之争乱像。”


On the opposite wall is her mitochondrial DNA sequence - a centipede of Cs and Gs and As, written in pencil.

对面墙上是她的线粒体DNA序列,用铅笔扭扭曲曲写着 Cs、Gs 和 As 符号。


By including the 200 letters (or nucleotides, per the artist's sophisticated scientific lexicon), Dewey-Hagborg hoped to illustrate how astoundingly similar, at least in biological makeup, we all are.

通过包含 200 个字母 (或核苷酸，每个艺术家复杂的科学词典) ，希瑟杜威·哈博格希望通过描绘出这些出奇相似的肖像，表达出至少在生理结构上，人人都是这样的。


"What I'm hoping that people will take away from this is that our genome doesn't care about who we are, and how open genetic data is to interpretation, how subjective it is," said Dewey-Hagborg, whose 2007 video work, Spurious Memories, is also on display.

“我希望人们摆脱这种困境，我们的基因组不会关心我们是谁，公开的基因数据是如何解读的，它是多么的主观 ”，希瑟杜威·哈博格说，他的 2007 年的录像作品《虚假记忆》也在展出。


"DNA data can tell so many different stories, so this is 30 of those stories."

“DNA 数据可以告诉我们很多不同的故事，所以这是其中的 30 个故事。”


The final piece in the exhibition, which is contained in a single room, is one page from the aforementioned graphic novella.

展览中的最后一幅作品，在一个房间内，来自前面插图中篇小说中的一页。


It shows Manning, emerging, King Kong-esque, from the United States Disiplinary Barracks with a speakerphone in hand.

展示了在美国的士兵手持扩音器下浮夸、金刚造型的曼宁。


"When they chill your speech, then they've won," it reads.

“当他们使你的演讲停止下来，他们就赢了 ”，墙上写道。


"It came directly from a letter that she wrote to me," the artist, who hails from Philadelphia, said.

“这些内容直接来自她写给我的一封信 ”，这位来自费城的艺术家说。


"I get goosebumps still talking about it."

“我就是再害怕，我依然要说出的。”


Manning hasn't seen the exhibition in-person yet - as was so presciently imagined in the comic book - but when she does, she'll be greeted in the center of the room by the masks, her own genomic simulacra congregated like hordes of protesters.

曼宁还没有亲自看过这个展览，正如漫画中那么预见的那样，但是当她这样做的时候，她将由她自己的 DNA 肖像面具，就像一群抗议者在展馆中心获得欢呼。


That was purposeful, too, as is everything in the exhibition, down to the height (5"2, Manning's stature) at which her genetic haplogroups were written in pencil.

这也是有目的的，正如展览中的所有物品一样，都达到了她用铅笔写成的遗传单倍群信息的高度 (5.2 英尺，曼宁的身高) 。


"In the past, I've had them on the wall but I wanted them to feel like a crowd," Dewey-Hagborg said of the portraits.

“在过去，我把他们挂到墙上，但我希望他们觉得自己像一群人 ”，杜威?哈格堡谈到肖像时说道。


"I wanted it to feel like a mass movement that was forming with Chelsea, like the movement that was behind freeing her as well."

“但我想让它们感觉像是一群跟随着切尔西的抗议者，正如当时人们抗议要释放她一样。”


Northwestern Professor and Oxford University Employee Wanted for Homicide

西北大学教授和牛津大学员工因杀人案被通缉


A nationwide manhunt is underway for a Northwestern University professor and an Oxford University employee who are wanted as suspects after a man was found fatally stabbed inside a luxury Chicago apartment, police said.

警方表示，发现一名男子在芝加哥豪华公寓内遭到致命刺伤，一名西北大学教授和一名牛津大学员工随后被通缉，目前正在全国范围内寻找嫌犯。


On Monday, first-degree murder warrants without bail were issued for Wyndham Lathem, 42, and Andrew Warren, 56, for their alleged involvement in the death of Trenton H. James Cornell-Duranleau, Cook County court records show.

库克县法院记录显示，周一，42 岁的温德姆·莱塞姆和 56 岁的安德鲁·沃伦因涉嫌特伦顿· H·詹姆斯·康奈尔·杜兰洛死亡案遭发一级无保释谋杀拘捕令。


The documents say Cornell-Duranleau, 26, died after being stabbed multiple times.

根据文件记录，26 岁的康奈尔·杜兰洛因多次刺伤而死亡。


A community alert released by the Chicago Police Department says the body was discovered on July 27.

芝加哥警察局发布的社区警报称，尸体于 7 月 27 日被发现。


Officers received a call and arrived at the Grand Plaza Apartments and found the victim with several lacerations on his body.

警察接到电话后到达 Grand Plaza 公寓，发现受害人身上有多处裂伤。


Cornell-Duranleau was pronounced dead on the scene and detectives are investigating the stabbing as a homicide while police actively search for the two suspects, officials said.

警方称，康奈尔·杜兰洛当场死亡，侦探正在调查这起他杀案，而警方正在积极寻找两名嫌犯。


Lathem has been an associate professor of microbiology and immunology at Northwestern University since 2007.

莱塞姆自 2007 年起一直担任西北大学微生物学和免疫学副教授。


Alan K. Cubbage, the vice president for university relations, said in an emailed statement that Lathem is now on administrative leave and has been banned from entering Northwestern University campuses.

校园关系处副处长艾伦·K·考贝奇在电子邮件声明中表示，莱塞姆现在已经被离职，并且已被禁止进入西北大学校园。


"This is now a criminal matter under investigation by the appropriate authorities, and Northwestern University is cooperating in that investigation," Cubbage said.

考贝奇表示，“现在这是一个刑事案件，有关当局正在调查，西北大学正在积极配合调查工作。”


Warren is a senior treasury assistant at Oxford University.

沃伦是牛津大学高级财务助理。


A spokesperson for the university and Somerville College said in an emailed statement that, "We have been in contact with the police in the UK and are ready to help the US investigating authorities in any way they need."

牛津大学萨默维尔学院发言人在电子邮件声明中表示：“我们一直与英国警方保持联系，随时准备按需协助美国调查机构。”


The statement added that Warren's colleagues were shocked and want him to turn himself in.

声明补充说，沃伦的同事都深感震惊，并且希望他能够投案自首。


Chief Communications Officer of the Chicago Police Department Anthony Guglielmi said he strongly encourages the suspects to surrender to authorities.

芝加哥警察局首席联络官安东尼·古列尔米表示强烈鼓励嫌犯向当局自首。


"Police have an idea of their whereabouts but our efforts to locate that are intensifying," Guglielmi said.

古列尔米表示，“警方对他们的下落已经有了一个大概的想法，我们正在努力定位可能的地点。”


Guglielmi said local, regional and national authorities are helping find the suspects.

古列尔米表示，当地、地区和国家当局正在全力协助搜查嫌疑犯。


Guglielmi said police received a call from the Grand Plaza building manager who had just received a cryptic tip that said something had occurred in apartment 1008.

古列尔米表示，警方接到 Grand Plaza 公寓经理的电话，他刚刚收到一则秘密提示，说 1008 号公寓有情况发生。

他说，根据安全摄像头，确认莱塞姆和沃伦当时在大楼里。


"We believe Professor Latham and the victim had a relationship," Guglielmi said.

"We'll complete WADA roadmap in near future" - Russian Deputy PM Mutko

俄罗斯副总理穆特科表示，“我们将在不久的将来完成世界反兴奋剂机构路线图”


Russian Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Mutko has said it will not take long to implement the remaining World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) criteria for the reinstatement of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA).

俄罗斯副总理维塔利·穆特科表示，落实世界反兴奋剂机构 (WADA) 针对恢复俄罗斯反兴奋剂机构 (RUSADA) 权利的剩余标准不会花费过长时间。


"A certain stage of fulfilling the road map criteria has been carried out, RUSADA obtained the right to plan and test in cooperation with UKAD (UK Anti-Doping).

“实施路线图标准已经开展到了一定的阶段，RUSADA 获得了与 UKAD（英国反兴奋剂机构）合作进行计划和测试的权利。


The WADA roadmap was updated in this regard," Mutko stated on Thursday.

WADA 路线图在这方面进行了更新，”穆特科周四表示。


The PM was commenting on the second part of WADA's Roadmap to Code Compliance, which describes the criteria for the reinstatement of RUSADA and which recently published on the organization's website.

副总理穆特科在评论世界反兴奋剂机构路线图《遵守规定》的第二部分时做出上述表述。该部分规定了恢复 RUSADA 权利的标准，并于最近在该组织网站上发布。


According to Mutko, it does not contain anything that could cause concern for Russia.

据穆特科所述，标准中不包含任何可能引起俄罗斯担忧的事情。


"Everything has been announced, everything will be implemented.

他补充说，“一切都得已宣布，一切都会实施。


And the results will be presented to the International Olympic Committee [IOC] and WADA in the near future," he added.

并且会在不久的将来将结果提交给国际奥委会 [IOC] 和 WADA。”


One of the criteria mentioned in the list, however, states that Russian anti-doping authorities must publically accept the reported outcomes of the WADA-sanctioned investigation by Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren on alleged state-sponsored doping in Russian sport.

然而，名单中提到的标准之一是，俄罗斯反兴奋剂机构必须公开接受由加拿大律师理查德·迈凯伦就 WADA 批准的关于俄罗斯国家支持在本国体育运动中使用兴奋剂事件的调查结果。


Referring to the matter, Mutko said: "We are conducting the investigation, as our anti-doping system admitted a failure.

谈到此事，穆特科说：“我们正在调查，我们的反兴奋剂系统毫无疑问失败了。


But there were no state programs, and we will not admit something that didn't exist."

但这背后并不存在国家计划，我们不会承认不存在的东西。”


Mutko's words echoed those of Vitaly Smirnov, the head of Russia's Independent Public Anti-Doping Commission.

穆特科的话回应了俄罗斯独立公共反兴奋剂委员会负责人维塔利·斯米尔诺夫的话。


Talking to Russian outlet RSport earlier in the day, Smirnov admitted past problems in Russian anti-doping bodies, but added: "We have said on numerous occasions, that the report contains controversial positions and regulations.

斯米尔诺夫在当天早些时候接受媒体 Russian outlet RSport 访问时承认了俄罗斯反兴奋剂机构过去存在的问题，但他补充道：“我们多次在各种场合说过，报告中包含有争议的立场和规定。


No one plans to accept this report unconditionally," Smirnov added.

没有人计划无条件接受这份报告，”斯米尔诺夫说。


RUSADA was suspended from carrying out doping controls within Russia by WADA in November 2015 in the wake of the doping scandal.

2015 年 11 月兴奋剂丑闻后，WADA 暂停了 RUSADA 在俄罗斯境内实施兴奋剂检查的权利。


It was, however, permitted to plan and coordinate testing under the supervision of international experts and UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) this June.

但今年六月，RUSADA 得到允许，今年可以在国际专家和 UKAD 的监督下计划和协调检测。


Following a visit to the organization's headquarters in Moscow in July, WADA Director General Olivier Niggli stated that RUSADA is "moving in the right direction" to be reinstated.

WADA 总干事奥利维亚·奈格丽在七月份访问该组织位于莫斯科的总部时表示，RUSADA 正“朝着正确的方向前进”，努力恢复其权利。


As far as computers are concerned, whether Chinese checkers or chess, defeating humans was already a clinch decades ago.

对于计算机来说，无论是跳棋或是国家象棋，击败人类在几十年前已经不在话下。


The president of Croatian Football Association Davao Suk said in an interview that participation in the China Cup is very meaningful for Croatian football, and the Chinese Cup’s bonus was considerable.

克罗地亚足协主席达沃-苏克在接受采访时表示参加中国杯对于克罗地亚足球很有意义，中国杯的奖金数字非常大。


Forget purchasing agents! These 8000-plus products enjoy zero tariff

再也不用找代购了！这8000多种产品零关税


At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) held on January 11th, spokesperson Gao Feng said that to date, China has 15 Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) in force, involving 23 countries and regions, encompassing more than 8000 imported products at zero tariff.

在1月11日商务部召开的例行新闻发布会，商务部新闻发言人高峰表示，截至目前，我国已经生效实施的自贸协定有15个，涉及23个国家和地区，涵盖了8000余种零关税的进口产品。


Meanwhile, you no longer have to spend a lot of money to have purchasing agents buy the products you want such as imported cosmetics, salmon from Iceland, red wine from Chile, tropical fruits from ASEAN ....

同时，进口化妆品、冰岛三文鱼、智利红酒、东盟的热带水果......你要的这些产品不用再花大价钱代购了。


Currently, China has signed 16 FTAs, involving 24 countries and regions, of which 15 have come into effect, encompassing more than 8000 imported products at zero tariff.

目前，我国已与24个国家和地区签署了16个自由贸易协定，已经生效实施的有15个，涵盖了8000余种零关税的进口产品。


Take agricultural produce for example. The implementation of the FTAs has meant that consumers can now sample affordable agricultural produce from different places of production throughout the year.

以农产品为例，随着自贸协定的实施，消费者一年四季都可以品尝到来自不同产地、质优价廉的农产品。


For instance, import tariffs have been cut to zero for the following products: tropical fruits from ASEAN such as durians, lychees, and pitaya from 15-30% previously;

比如，东盟的榴莲、荔枝、火龙果等热带水果，进口关税由15%到30%降为零关税。


冰岛三文鱼进口关税由10%到12%降为零关税；


red wine from Georgia and Chile, from 14-30%.

格鲁吉亚和智利的红酒，进口关税由14%到30%降为零关税；


Specialty agricultural products such as beef and milk powder from New Zealand have also seen a relatively large reduction in tariffs.

还有新西兰的牛肉和奶粉等特色农产品等都有较大幅度的降税。


Industrial products have benefited as well. For example, import tariffs for some cosmetics from Switzerland have been reduced to zero, while

以工业品为例，例如，瑞士部分化妆品进口关税已经降为零；


that for some watches have fallen to 50%, and will fall further to zero in a few years’ time;

部分手表进口关税降低了50%，并将在几年后降为零关税；


products from South Korea such as refrigerators, rice cookers, massage devices, and cosmetic apparatus will now be subject to a lower import tariff of 40%, and fall further to zero in a few years’ time;

韩国的电冰箱、电饭锅、按摩仪、美容仪等产品进口关税降低了40%，并将在几年后降为零关税；


and consumer electronics and other relevant products have also seen a relatively large reduction in tariffs.

还有消费类电子产品等有较大幅度的降税。


Products at zero tariff under the FTAs also include intermediates and raw materials required for the domestic production of end-user consumer goods, which will, to a certain extent, also upgrade the mix of domestically produced consumer goods.

同时，自贸区项下的零关税产品还包括许多国内终端消费品制造所需要的中间产品和原材料，也在一定程度上推动了国产消费品的结构升级。


MOFCOM spokesperson Gao Feng said that approximately one-third of China’s total imported products enjoy tariff concessions under the FTAs, of which the majority are end-user consumer goods, thus providing tangible benefits to consumers.

商务部新闻发言人高峰表示，我国总进口额近三分之一的产品可以享受自贸协定优惠关税的待遇，其中大部分是终端消费品，给消费者带来了实实在在的好处。


Further reductions in import tariffs of consumer goods

进一步降低消费品进口关税


On December 1, 2017, China further lowered the import tariffs of some consumer goods. The reductions covered 187 eight-digit HS codes comprising food, health supplements, pharmaceuticals, chemical products for daily use, clothing, footwear and headgear, home appliances, culture and recreation, miscellaneous and sundry goods, as well as other consumer goods.

自2017年12月1日起，我国对部分消费品进口关税进行调整，进一步降低消费品进口关税，范围涵盖食品、保健品、药品、日化用品、衣着鞋帽、家用设备、文化娱乐、日杂百货等各类消费品，共涉及187个8位税号。


The average tariff rate of these consumer goods more than halved, plunging from 17.3% to 7.7%!

这批消费品的平均税率将由17.3%直降至7.7%，几乎被“拦腰斩”！


With effect from January 1, 2018, partial adjustments were also made to other import and export tariffs.

2018年1月1日起，我国对其他进出口关税也进行了部分调整。


The import tariffs of lipstick, eye shadow, perfume and some other cosmetics fell from 10% to 5%.

唇膏、眼影、香水等部分化妆品进口关税由10％降至5％；


This decline in tariff rates means that consumers do not have to have a purchasing agent or travel overseas to buy the foreign products they like.

降低关税以后，意味着消费者不用代购、更无须大老远跑国外去买喜欢的外国产品了。


2018 Yiwu Imported Commodities Fair: Imported red wine, snacks, fruits ... everything has become affordable!

The ultimate shopping experience with the advent of a new era in commercial district shopping development

极致购物体验，商圈购物发展新时代来临


More than 10 years ago, China was, on the whole, still a sellers’ market. Selection was limited, and so was demand.

十多年前，我国总体上还处于卖方市场，人们的选择有限，需求也有限。


A decade hence, the market has long developed into a buyers’ rather than that of a sellers’ market. Shoppers have now become a lot more demanding as well, and are no longer satisfied simply with a “cash on delivery of goods” shopping behavior.

但经过十年的发展，市场早已实现了从卖方市场向买方市场的转变，如今的消费者口味变得更刁，他们不再满足于简简单单的“一手交钱一手交货”的购物行为。


Therefore, how to offer shoppers the ultimate shopping experience has become the next competitive point for real estate developers.

因此，如何让消费者得到一场极致购物体验则成了房地产开发商们的下一个竞争点。


Of the many factors that affect a shopper’s shopping experience, the impact of shopping centers in business districts is the most important.

而在影响消费者购物体验的诸多因素中，商圈里的购物中心的影响最为重大。


Let’s take a look at how urban builders focus on the shopping experience.

看各地城市建设者如何注重购物体验。


No two leaves are alike, nor can one find two completely identical shopping malls. A famous shopping mall must have its own characteristics.

世界上没有两片完全一样的叶子，更没有两个完全一样的购物中心，一个有名的购物中心必然有属于自己的特色。


Take Turkey’s world-renowned Kanyon Shopping Center. Its unique undulating architectural design was inspired by the Grand Canyon, hence its homophonous name Kanyon. You feel like you’re in the Grand Canyon when walking along the 200-meter footpath in the midsection of Kanyon.

比如土耳其举世闻名的Kanyon购物中心，它独特的波浪形的建筑设计灵感来自大峡谷（Canyon），因此取名为谐音的Kanyon，行走在Kanyon中部长200米的步道中仿佛置身于大峡谷内。


In addition to the canyon-like design, there is a large unique inward concave oval-shaped performance venue in the middle of shopping center where specialty performances are often held.

除了峡谷式的设计，在购物中心的中央还设有一个向内凹的大型椭圆形演出场地，外形独特，经常会举办特色表演。


Its open platform design offers visitors at every floor a view of the activities held in the “canyon”, and the scene changes as you take each step.

因为开放的平台设计，使游客行走在每一层都能俯看“峡谷”中进行的活动，并有移步换景的效果。


In China, the Nanjing Forest Mall Commercial Street, known as the country’s first forest style pedestrian consumption venue, is a perfect integration of shopping and ecology as well as fairy tales.

而在国内，有中国首座森林式漫步消费场之称的南京森林摩尔商业街则将购物与生态、童话完美结合在一起。


With a 7,000 sqm green plaza, and a 3,000 sqm rooftop water feature, the project is made up of nine individual buildings, linked by a sky bridge. The sunken garden design for the entire project, plane trees as its architectural surface, and the rooftop water feature create the feeling of being in a forest.

7000平米绿地广场，3000平米屋顶水域平台，项目由9栋单体建筑组成，各建筑之间空中连廊相接，整体下沉庭院设计，取地缘之上法国梧桐树为建筑表皮，屋顶水域天台，营造出森林般的感觉。


On entering the Forest Mall, you’d feel like you have accidentally fallen down the rabbit hole in Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland. The tall tree trunks surround the buildings, and the lawn and stream are beautifully juxtaposed, drawing the masses into a forest full of life and vitality.

走进森林摩尔，就像一不小心掉进了爱丽丝漫游奇遇记中的兔子洞，攀沿着的树干将建筑围绕，草地、清泉相映衬，将人们带进充满生机与活力的森林。


Then there is Chonqing. The Lijia Waterfront Business District built by Longhu Properties has plans to attract a diverse range of businesses, and expects to bring in more than 50 world class flagship stores, with more than 100 world class brands and over 500 renowned foreign and domestic brands so as to create a commercial center with a distinctive theme that brings the services sector together.

还有在重庆，龙湖打造的礼嘉滨水商圈，规划百方商业，计划未来引进超过50家国际顶级专卖旗舰店，100个以上国际顶级品牌和500个以上国内外著名品牌，打造成为服务产业集聚、主题特色鲜明的商业中心。


In addition, the Lijia Waterfront Business District will also integrate ecology into architecture. Based on a transit-oriented development (TOD) concept, it integrates shopping, household services and amenities, dining, entertainment, education and sports, providing shoppers the ultimate shopping experience while affording them the luxury of enjoying Chongqing’s unique “waterfront culture”, a perfect blend of shopping, and water entertainment and recreation.

不仅如此，礼嘉滨水商圈还将生态融入建筑、以TOD公共交通为导向，集时尚购物、生活服务、餐饮、娱乐、教育、运动于一体，在带给消费者极致购物体验的同时还引领他们享受重庆独特的“滨水文化”，将购物与水上娱乐、休闲完美融为一体。


From the above examples, it is noted that, at present, a number of real estate developers have noticed the discovery of this new urban business phenomenon. Insiders indicate that this consumption model which is centered on the consumer experience and which explores the means to combine shopping and experience will become the mainstream of urban development in the future.

综上可以发现，目前，已有一部分房企洞悉了这种新的城市商业的发现轨迹，而业内人士表示，这种以消费者体验为中心，如何把购物与体验相结合的消费模式也将是未来城市发展的主流。


Today’s business districts are no longer merely the distribution centers of goods. Rather, they are more integrated venues that bring together the arts and culture as well as creative themes; they also carry the responsibility of the masses toward urban living.

现在的商圈不仅仅是货品的集散地，更多的是融合艺术文化、创意主题的综合场所，也承载着人们对都市居住的责任。


Therefore, in addition to meeting the one-stop material needs of dining and entertainment of consumers, maximizing the transmission of multi-tiered cultural and artistic spiritual needs, as well as bringing the livable qualities of residential needs into play will inevitably become the high point of future business district development.

因此在满足消费者吃喝玩乐购一站式物质需求的同时，最大化的传递文化艺术多层次的精神需求，发挥宜居的居住需求，必然是商圈未来发展的制高点。


In Chongqing, Guoxing Property’s Beianjiangshan is located north of the Yangtze River, close to Guanyin Bridge, where the who’s who of world business and international giants agglomerate, and first class brands congregate, affording a seamless connection with international fashion.

在重庆，国兴的北岸江山，地处江北，临近观音桥，荟萃世界商业精华，国际巨擘左右环拥，一等品牌齐聚，与国际时尚近距离接驳。


Here, prosperity abounds, and the best in the world agglomerate.

这里步步繁华，荟萃世界精华；


Dongyuanjinyue, which is in the immediate vicinity of Nanping Business District, has a better shopping environment. At its sole disposal is Western China’s, and indeed, the nation’s leading four-story three-dimensional transportation system, enhancing shopping comfort.

东原锦悦则拥有较好的购物环境，东原锦悦临近南坪商圈，独享西部甚至全国领先的四层立体交通系统，提升了购物舒适度。


Elsewhere, the landscaped gardens and shops along the two pedestrian streets at Huigong Road and Wanda Plaza have been upgraded, with approximately 300 trees planted, and 40,000 sqm of floor space revamped, lifting the image of Nanping Business District.

另外惠工路和万达广场两条步行街的园林绿化、景观地铺进行了提档升级，种植乔木约300株，改造地铺4万平方米，提升了南坪商圈形象；


Meanwhile, Longhu’s Waterfront City, in the immediate vicinity of Chongqing’s first low-density waterfront business district - Lijia Waterfront Business District - is surrounded by nine parks. The commercial street district is low density with good access. These qualities have made shoppers more willing to stay, stop and slowing savor the joy of shopping when shopping, rather than being jostled by crowds of shoppers into rushing forward. Here, “shopping at a leisurely pace” is truly achieved.

而龙湖昱湖壹号，临近重庆首个低密度滨水商圈——礼嘉滨水商圈，被九个公园环绕，商业街区密度低，开放程度高，使得人们购物时更愿意停留、驻足、慢慢享受购物的乐趣，而不是被后面的人流裹挟着急急忙忙地向前赶，真正实现了“散步式购物”。


Competition will only intensify going forward. In a market of rampant homogenization, how to achieve success, and attain a reputation as a “shopping mecca” in the hearts of future shoppers deserve serious consideration among all real estate developers.

当今商业竞争只会越来越激烈，如何在同质化严重的市场中杀出一条血路，夺得未来消费者心中的“购物圣地”的美誉，值得所有的房地产开发商去认真思考。


A differentiation strategy alone is far from sufficient. Only developers that truly place shoppers in their hearts, empathize with shoppers, and offer shoppers an ultimate yet simple shopping experience will be able to stand tall in a market when assailed by intense competition.

单单只凭差异化战略是远远不够的，只有那些真真正正地将消费者放在心中，急消费者所急，想消费者所想，给消费者提供极致而又简约的购物体验的开发商才能在暴风雨来临的市场中笑傲江湖。


To be sure, I believe that, at the end of the day, Chongqing’s residents are the happiest lot to have such excellent shopping experience and business districts. A decade ago, no one would have imagined today’s prosperity.

当然，到最后我想最高兴的还是重庆的子民，拥有这么好的购物体验和商圈，放在10年前没人能够想象今日的繁华。


Shopping carnival: Consumerism revelry masks true environmental cost

物节：消费主义狂欢掩盖真实环境价格


RMB168.2 billion. That was the amount of money Tmall users spent over a 24-hour period on November 11, 2017 at the “Tmall 11.11 Global Shopping Festival”.

1682亿元，这是2017年11月11日，“天猫双十一全球狂欢节”的24小时内，天猫用户消费的成交额。


Specifically, in the span of three minutes right after the “Double 11” commenced, Tmall’s transaction volume surpassed RMB10 billion, and exceeded RMB20 billion in six minutes and five seconds; within nine hours, it broke through the RMB100 billion mark.

具体来说，“双11”开局后，短短3分钟天猫成交额就突破100亿，6分05秒超过200亿元，9个小时破1000亿。


That day, shoppers all over the world made a total of 1.48 billion payments by way of Alipay, an increase of 41% year-on-year.

这一天，全球消费者通过支付宝完成的支付总笔数达到14.8亿笔，比去年增长41％。


Such spending resulted in 812 million logistics orders.

这些消费将带来8.12亿个物流订单。


Whether the Tmall shopping platform or the Alipay payment platform, however, both belonged to Jack Ma’s Alibaba Group.

而不论是天猫网购平台还是支付宝支付平台，全都属于马云的阿里集团。


Ten years ago, no one would have imagined that the “Singles’ Day” subculture which was a self-deprecating celebration created by singles on November 11 would be co-opted by e-commerce merchants, and turned into a phenomenal “Singles’ Day” shopping carnival today.

十年前没人会想到，11月11日单身青年出于自嘲创造的“光棍节”亚文化会被电商收编，成为如今现象级的“双11”购物狂欢节。


Alibaba used the “Great Singles’ Day Sale” marketing gimmick: Not dating? Singles, come shop online - for the first time on November 11, 2009.

2009年11月11日，阿里巴巴第一次使用“光棍节大促销”的营销噱头：没人跟你谈恋爱，那么“单身狗”们快来网购吧。


The outcome was a surprise. That day, transactions at Taobao Mall (the predecessor of “Tmall”) surpassed RMB52 million, 10 times that of the normal daily transaction value at the time.

结果令人意外，这一天淘宝商城（“天猫”前身）交易额突破5200万元，是当时日常交易额的10倍。


From then on, “Double 11” has become a shopping festival created by Alibaba, and has grown and expanded from a domestic buyer-seller amusement to an inflow of global merchants. Nine years hence, and the more than RMB100 billion worth of transactions of Tmall’s “Double 11” is now more than 3200 times that of the first year, far outstripping that of “Black Friday”.

从此，“双11”就成为了阿里巴巴打造的购物狂欢节，从一开始的国内买家卖家自娱自乐，到现在全球商家的涌入，九年过去了，天猫“双11”千亿交易额已经是当年的3200多倍，令“黑色星期五”望尘莫及。


Numerous e-commerce merchants have followed Tmall’s “Double 11” sales promotion, with “JD.com” the strongest competitor.

跟风天猫“双十一”促销的，还有众多电商，其中“京东”最为强劲。


“JD.com” has its own shopping festival “6.18” but its impact is less than that of “Double 11”. From November 1 to 11 this year, “JD.com”’s accumulated sales amounted to RMB127.1 billion.

“京东”有自己的购物节“6.18”，但没有“双11”影响大, 今年从11月1日持续到11日，“京东”累计销售额达到1271亿元。


The “Double 12” discount extravaganza and the Christmas-New Year shopping period come right after “Double 11”.

而“双11”后，紧接着的是与之类似的“双12”打折狂欢、圣诞新年购物档期。


Following the New Year, pre-Spring Festival’s Lunar New Year shopping as well as Valentine's Day shopping await the Chinese consumer. Retail consumption knows no holiday.

跨过了新年，等待着中国消费者的还有春节前的年货采购档期、情人节购物档期，消费，不会放假。


Massive instantaneous consumption has led to environmental problems, which has attracted the attention of professionals and institutions.

瞬时间的海量消费带来的环境问题，已经引起专业人士和机构的关注。


A Xinhua Daily Telegraph report revealed that based on the industry’s general standard conservative estimate of 0.2 kg per packaging cartons, at least 300,000 tonnes of trash were generated during this year’s “Singles’ Day” period.

据新华每日电讯报道，按业内每个包装箱0.2公斤的通常标准保守估算，今年“双11”期间至少产生超过30万吨垃圾。


Liu Hua, Director of the Pollution Prevention Program at Greenpeace East Asia told chinadialogue that the volume of orders at this year’s “Singles’ Day” from Tmall alone would generate 160,000 tonnes of packaging trash.

绿色和平东亚分部污染防治项目主任刘华则告诉中外对话，今年“双11”仅天猫的订单量会产生16万吨包装垃圾。


In 2016, the State Post Bureau published a report stating that approximately 780 million items were delivered by express couriers during the 2015 “Singles’ Day” period (November 11-16), with more than 3 billion woven bags, 9.922 billion packaging cartons, and 16.985 billion meters of adhesive tape used. The length of adhesive tape used could go round the equator 425 times.

国家邮政局2016年曾发布报告，指出2015年“双11”期间（11月11日至16日）的快件量约7．8亿件，使用超过30亿条编织袋，99.22亿个包装箱，169.85亿米胶带，胶带长度可以绕地球赤道425圈。


This year, the State Post Bureau estimates that the “Singles’ Day” express business volume could surpass 1.5 billion items.

而今年，国家邮政局预计“双11”的快件业务量预计超过15亿件。

北京市一座垃圾焚烧中心经理王士告诉新华社， “双11”后每日进场的垃圾都超过2000吨，也超过了焚烧站的处理产能。


Express delivery companies have also become aware that the environmental pollution resulting from the express delivery sector should not be ignored.

快递公司已经意识到了快递业造成的环境污染不可小视。


Some e-commerce logistics enterprises, including Suning, have introduced plastic express delivery boxes that may be recycled and reused ahead of “Singles’ Day”, as well as recyclable packaging such as shopping bags and trash bags that may be used repeatedly. However, acceptance among consumers who could not be bothered was low.

包括苏宁在内的一些电商物流企业“双11”前推出了可回收重复使用的塑料快递盒、可以重复用作购物袋和垃圾袋的循环包装袋等，但嫌麻烦的消费者接受度并不高。


Jack Ma, on Weibo, has also called on the logistics industry to support “green packaging” and “green logistics”.

马云还在微博中号召物流行业支持“绿色包装”和“绿色物流”。


This Weibo received more than 68,000 “likes”.

What sort of mobile payment do Germans want?

德国人想要什么样的移动支付？


Zhang Dongfang: The mobile payment war waged in Germany is nothing new.

张冬方：在德国拉开的移动支付战局不具期待性。


All WeChat Pay and Alipay did was to move the battleground to Europe. Neither the competitors nor the battleground has changed - the Chinese; is this really globalization?

微信支付和支付宝不过把战场搬到了欧洲，竞争对手没变，抢夺阵地也没变——中国人，这也算全球化？


Where there’s Alipay, there’s WeChat Pay.

有支付宝的地方，必有微信支付。


According to the agreement with Germany’s electronic payment services provider Wirecard, WeChat Pay officially entered Germany in November this year. The Chinese company has also gradually expanded its presence among merchants in Europe.

按照和德国电子支付服务商Wirecard的协议，微信支付今年11月正式着手落地德国，并逐渐在欧洲范围内的商家进行布局。


This time round, the reunion of the two “fellow countrymen” in a foreign country took place in Europe.

俩“老乡”的这次异国重逢发生在欧洲。


All along, Alipay and WeChat Pay have been riding high on the road to globalization.

一直以来，支付宝和微信支付在全球化的道路上一路高歌。


In a study on China’s mobile Internet payment’s globalization methods, iResearch Consulting’s “2017 China's Third-Party Mobile Payment Report” arrived at two methods: The first method would be by way of strategic investment, outward transfer of experience, taking an equity stake, and supporting the overseas local mobile payment enterprise;

对于中国的移动支付的全球化方式，艾瑞咨询《中国第三方移动支付行业研究报告2017》总结为两种：一是通过战略投资，经验输出，入股并扶持国外本土移动支付企业。


the second method would be by way of promoting mobile payment services to overseas merchants through Chinese tourists’ overseas spending behavior, thereby changing overseas local entities’ recognition and acceptance of China’s mobile payments.

二是通过中国游客出国消费行为，向国外商家推广移动支付服务，进而改变外国本土对中国移动支付的认知和接受度。


Indeed, win over the Chinese, and you win the world.


China’s rapid economic growth coupled with its large population base have meant that spending by Chinese tourists in Europe is an attractive figure,

中国经济发展迅猛，再加上人口基数大，中国游客在欧洲的花销是一个诱人的数字。


but this also means that the mobile payment war waged in Germany is nothing new.

但这也注定了，这次在德国拉开的中国移动支付战局不具期待性。


All WeChat Pay and Alipay did was to move the battleground to Europe. Neither the competitors nor the battleground has changed - it’s still the Chinese; is this really globalization?

微信支付和支付宝不过是把战场搬到了欧洲，竞争对手没变，抢夺的阵地还是没变——还是中国人，这也算全球化？


A more groundbreaking inquiry would be whether China’s mobile payment can expand its territory in Europe.

更具开拓性的探讨是，中国的移动支付能否在欧洲本土开疆拓土？


Chen Xinlei, Yang Kaihan: When Amazon made it to the world’s top 10 list of retailers, it announced that it would venture into the bookstores and grocery stores; this is worth pondering, both in terms of opportunity and motive.

陈歆磊、杨凯涵：亚马逊在挤进全球十大零售商时候宣布进军书店和杂货铺，不论时机还是动机都很值得玩味。


In November 2015, Amazon opened its first physical bookstore in Seattle. This was followed by two bookstores in Portland and San Diego.

2015年11月，亚马逊在西雅图开设了第一家实体书店，之后又开设了波特兰和圣地亚哥的两家书店。


At the beginning of 2017, Amazon opened its bookstore and New York, and planned to have at least eight stores by the end of the year.

2017年伊始，亚马逊在纽约开设店面，并计划到年底至少拥有8家店面。


Almost at the same time, Amazon announced that its checkout-free grocery store Amazon Go would begin trial operations. No waiting in line or checkout is necessary. All customers have to do is scan their QR code on the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products they want and leave. The shopping amount would be charged to the customers’ Amazon account.

几乎同一时间，亚马逊宣布旗下无人超市（Amazon Go）试运营，顾客到店不需要排队，也不需要结账，进门扫码、拿了想要的商品离开即可，购物金额会自动从顾客的亚马逊账户中扣除。


As far as Amazon is concerned, its sudden but frequent forays into physical stores in the last few years have been very unexpected.

就亚马逊而言，近几年忽然在实体店上面动作频频是非常意外的一件事。


This is because way back in 2007, CEO Jeff Bezos, in his “Letter to Shareholders”, highlighted that Amazon would not arbitrarily start a new business (such as a physical store) unless the four conditions set out below are met simultaneously:

因为早在2007年的《致股东公开信》中，CEO杰夫•贝佐斯就强调，亚马逊不会轻易开设实体店，除非同时满足下列四个条件：


1. We must convince ourselves that the new opportunity can generate the returns on capital our investors expected when they invested in Amazon;

1.我们必须确信这个新机会能让股东的投资有所回报；


2. we must convince ourselves that the new business can grow to a scale where it can be significant in the context of our overall company;

2.我们必须确信这个新机会对于整个公司有重大意义；


3. we must believe that the opportunity is currently underserved; and

3.我们必须确信这个新机会是被市场忽视的；


4. we have the capabilities needed to bring strong customer-facing differentiation to the marketplace.

4.我们必须确信在这个市场上，我们拥有足够的资源能做出面向顾客的差异化。


Bookstores and grocery stores are the two most precarious physical retail sub-sectors, and were the first to be knocked out after the rise of Amazon.

书店和杂货铺，是两个实体零售中最摇摇欲坠的分类，也是亚马逊兴起后最先倒下的对手。


When Amazon made it to the world’s top 10 list of retailers, it announced that it would venture into these two physical markets; this is worth pondering, both in terms of opportunity and motive.

亚马逊在挤进全球十大零售商的时候宣布进军这两个实体市场，不论时机还是动机都很值得玩味。


Did Amazon do something in contrary to the guarantee it made in its letter to shareholders?

亚马逊的做法，和股东信中的保证相违背吗？


Similar words were echoed at the other end of the world. On the morning of October 13, 2016, at The Computing Conference 2016 held in Yunqi, Hangzhou, Alibaba Chairman Jack Ma said in his keynote address that,

地球的另一端也听到了类似的声音。2016年10月13日上午，在2016杭州•云栖大会上，阿里巴巴董事局主席马云发表主题演讲。


“From next year onward, Alibaba will no longer talk about ‘e-commerce’.

他说：“从明年开始，阿里巴巴将不再提‘电子商务’这个说法。


The era of pure e-commerce firms will soon come to an end. E-commerce will no longer exist in the next 10 to 20 years, replaced instead by ‘new retail’.

纯电商的时代很快就会结束，未来的十年、二十年将没有电子商务，取而代之的是‘新零售’。


Only by combining online and offline operations will new retail come into being.”

线上线下和物流结合在一起，才会产生新零售。”


In an instant, it was as if the words “new retail” took on magical properties, and became the new catchphrase of industry insiders.

一时间，“新零售”三个字如同被施了魔法，被业界人士频频挂在嘴边。


但是，“新零售”究竟是什么意思？


If it merely referred to online-offline integration, then the concept is nothing new.

如果只是指线上与线下相结合，那么这个概念并不新奇。


In 2016, eMarketer, after tracking 180 of the largest e-commerce firms, estimated that total sales of e-commerce firms amounted to approximately US$200 billion, of which the largest 25 accounted for more than US$159 billion;

2016年，eMarketer跟踪了180家最大的电商之后估计，电商总销售额约为2000亿美元，而其中最大的25家占到了1590多亿美元。


and of these 25, 18 were traditional retailers that had only begun online operations in the preceding five years (such as Macy’s, Nordstrom, Target and Gap).

在这25家之中，有18家都是在过去五年才开始经营线上的传统零售商（比如梅西百货, Nordstrom, Target, Gap等）。


Indeed, Alibaba Group's RMB28.3 billion acquisition of an equity stake in Suning Commerce Group was still fresh in the minds of the public.

而阿里巴巴集团283亿元入股苏宁云商，也还历历在目。


From a global perspective, both retailers and e-commerce firms are transforming from a single channel to a multi-channel retail system that encompasses physical stores, e-commerce, mobile terminals and social media.

从全球范围看，零售商和电商都在从单一渠道转向覆盖实体店、电商、移动端和社会化媒体的全渠道零售体系。


Could Jack Ma’s “new retail” be more of a conclusion rather than a forecast for the future?

难道马云提“新零售”，更多的是一种总结而非对未来的展望？


If not, then what is the difference between the multi-channel concept and “new retail”?

如果不是，那么全渠道的概念，与“新零售”究竟有何区别？


Perhaps, the crux of the matter is not whether online and offline entities would integrate, but how.

或许，问题的关键不是线上与线下会不会融合，而是怎么融合。


A review of the retail sector in the last 20 years has revealed that the rise of e-commerce was similar to the emergence of discount retailers many years ago; both were focused on price and convenience.

回顾零售业过去的20年，电商的崛起如同早年折扣零售商的兴起，都侧重于价格和便利。


On the basis of these two trigger points, e-commerce firms moved highly standardized products, such as books and CDs, online from offline.

依靠这两个痛点，电商把标准化程度非常高的产品，例如图书和CD，从线下移到了线上。


As online retail habits formed, and customer experience continued to rise, e-commerce firms further extended their scope to other product categories, and began to increase efficiency.

随着线上消费习惯的养成以及客户体验的不断提高，电商又将触角伸到了其他品类，并开始提升效率。


In Aliababa CEO Daniel Zhang’s words, “Use the thinking behind and technology of the Internet to thoroughly reform and upgrade the approximately 30 trillion retailers in society at this time, so that the increasingly demanding retail requirements of Chinese consumers may be effectively met. This will make the entire goods production, circulation and services process more efficient with the extensive application of the Internet and big data.”

用阿里巴巴CEO张勇的话说，“利用互联网的思想和技术去全面改革和升级现有的约30万亿社会零售商总量，使得中国消费者日益升级的消费需求可以得到有效的满足，使得整个商品生产、流通、服务的过程因为互联网、大数据的广泛运用变得更加高效。”


Thus, the path of e-commerce firms is asset-light on the surface, but asset-heavy in reality.

因此电商的道路，是一条表面轻资产，实际重资产的道路。


“Light” refers to fixed assets, headcount, management processes and other burdens that are less than that of traditional retailers; “heavy” refers to areas such as logistics and storage that require enormous investment.

“轻”，指的是固定资产、人员配置、管理流程等负担没有传统零售业大；“重”，指的是在物流、仓储等方面需要巨大的投入。


Changes in logistical methods ensured the efficiency of e-commerce firms.

物流方式的改变，保证了电商的高效率。

On January 18, Alibaba held an e-commerce poverty eradication summit in Chongqing, and announced that it would explore a new “Internet + Poverty eradication” model to help spur measures targeted at eradicating poverty and revitalize the rural economy.

1月18日，阿里巴巴在重庆召开电商脱贫高峰对话会，宣布通过探索“互联网+脱贫”新模式，助推精准脱贫和乡村振兴。


This follows Alibaba’s rural strategy, launch of the Rural Taobao program, online rural revitalization and poverty relief platform, as well as the founding of the Alibaba Poverty Relief Fund, and is a step-up commitment by Alibaba toward combating poverty.

这是继提出乡村战略、启动农村淘宝项目、上线兴农扶贫平台、成立阿里巴巴脱贫基金之后，阿里对脱贫攻坚的再次“加码”。


Combating and eradicating poverty is presently one of China’s key national strategies.

脱贫攻坚是当下中国最重要的国家战略之一。


Complete eradication of poverty is unprecedented in the history of China.

全面脱贫在中国过去几千年来从未实现过。


“Poverty relief via e-commerce is a new round of innovative measures aimed at poverty relief and development. It is an important means to achieve measures targeted at poverty relief and eradication.

“电商扶贫是新一轮扶贫开发的创新举措，是实现精准扶贫、精准脱贫的重要抓手。


The Central government very concerned with this issue and has indicated that the Internet can play a part in helping to combat poverty, advance measures targeted at poverty relief and eradication, as well as allow agricultural products to be sold outside the countryside via the Internet.”

中央高度重视并指出，可以发挥互联网在助推脱贫攻坚中的作用，推进精准扶贫、精准脱贫，让农产品通过互联网走出乡村。”


As such, Alibaba had proposed a rural strategy as far back as 2014, which together with big data cloud computing and globalization are its three major core strategies for the next 20 years.

因此，阿里早在2014年就提出了乡村战略，跟大数据云计算和全球化并列为阿里未来20年三大核心战略。


In the same year, Alibaba launched the Rural Taobao program, recruiting “village partners” to help lift villagers out of poverty and move toward affluence by way of e-commerce.

同年，阿里启动了农村淘宝（村淘）项目，在乡村招募“村小二”，带领农民通过电商脱贫致富。


In 2017, Alibaba worked together with the Ministry of Commerce to create a rural revitalization and poverty relief channel that is now connected to a total of 13 provinces and 120 national level poverty-stricken counties.

2017年，阿里跟商务部门合作打造兴农扶贫频道，目前累计对接全国13个省份，120个国家级贫困县。


The Alibaba platform has incubated 2118 Taobao Villages,

阿里平台催生的淘宝村，已经有2118个。


of which close to 400 have emerged in poverty-stricken counties of various provinces, and 33 in 13 poverty-stricken provinces.

其中，接近400个出现在省贫困县，33个出现在13个国家贫困县。


In 2017, at Alibaba’s China retail platform, nationwide sales of Taobao Villages amounted to RMB120 billion.

2017年，在阿里巴巴中国零售平台上，全国淘宝村销售额达到1200亿元。


Daniel Zhang said that confronted with the national strategy to combat poverty, Alibaba has been thinking about how it could effectively use the technology, big data, cloud computing and other innovative competencies within the Alibaba economy to help develop a new path for poverty eradication.

张勇表示，面对脱贫攻坚的国家战略，阿里一直在思考如何用好阿里经济体的科技、大数据、云计算等创新能力，为脱贫走出一条新路来。


Rural Taobao, in particular, is a major platform to help eradicate poverty via e-commerce, and has opened up a new online direct supply and sales link to help eradicate poverty.

其中，村淘是阿里电商脱贫的主要承载平台，并走通了一条直供直销的互联网脱贫新链路。


At planting phase, Rural Taobao and Ant Financial Services have jointly offered means to acquire agricultural resources and tools as well as obtain micro-loans.

在种植环节，村淘和蚂蚁金服联合开展农资农具和小额贷款支持。


In 2017, of the 832 national-level poverty-stricken counties, 795 were served by Ant Financial Services, which provided convenient payments, credit and other relevant services.

2017年，在832个国家级贫困县中，蚂蚁金服服务了795个，为其提供便捷的支付、信贷等服务。


Cainiao helped with warehousing and logistics, while Tmall was responsible for selling. Alibaba Cloud’s big data provided feedback and guidance on agricultural production, further raising the supply standards, quality and market competitiveness of the agricultural produce.

菜鸟解决仓储和物流，天猫负责销售，阿里云的大数据反哺指导农业生产，进一步提高农产品的供应标准、品质和市场竞争力。


The growth in poverty eradication via e-commerce not only requires products, sales channels and industry planning, it also requires talent.

电商脱贫的发展，不仅需要产品、销售通道、产业规划，同时还需要人才。


By way of the e-commerce courses conducted by Taobao University, Alibaba teaches farmers standardized, quality and large-scale methods of cultivation, achieving a combination of “Poverty relief + Knowledge support” so that poverty eradication among farmers is sustainable.

阿里通过淘宝大学开设电商课程，给农民传授标准化、品质化和规模化种植方法，实现了“扶贫+扶心智”相结合，让农民可持续脱贫。


These courses have already reached approximately 92% of national-level poverty-stricken counties.

这些课程已经覆盖约92%的国家级贫困县。


The “philanthropic mentality, commercial means” poverty eradication thinking can also ensure that Alibaba will “genuinely perform poverty relief” when carrying out poverty relief activities.

而“公益心态、商业手段”的脱贫思路，还能保障阿里在扶贫时做到“真扶贫”。


Alibaba Chairman Jack Ma once said that eradicating poverty should be divided into three phases - poverty relief, poverty eradication and becoming affluent.

阿里巴巴董事局主席马云曾表示，消除贫困应该分成扶贫、脱贫和致富三个阶段。


Poverty relief is to give someone a fish; poverty eradication is to teach someone to fish; and becoming affluent is to build a “fish pond” for farmers so that farmers can breed fish.

扶贫是授人以鱼，脱贫是授人以渔，致富是给农民造一个“鱼塘”，让农民有鱼可养。


Poverty relief through industry development led by e-commerce is building that fish pond.

电商带动的产业扶贫，就是造鱼塘。


In terms of poverty relief through industry development, Alibaba has partnered Luochuan County in Shaanxi Province to create a Luochuan apple poverty relief through industry development model, which has been replicated and promoted nationwide as a model by relevant departments.

在产业扶贫上，阿里跟陕西洛川合作打造的洛川苹果产业扶贫模式，已经被有关部门当作范例在全国复制推广。


Alibaba’s poverty relief via e-commerce initiatives have also won the recognition of decision makers.

阿里电商扶贫工作也得到了决策层的认可。


E-commerce firms, represented by Alibaba, have been given the message that farmers would see an increase in production and income with the help of online and offline channels.

以阿里巴巴为代表的电商企业曾被寄语，通过线上线下渠道，确保农民增产增收。


Some village partners and Ant Financial staff have also been invited to the United Nations and Africa to share their poverty relief via e-commerce experience.

一些村小二和蚂蚁金服员工，还被邀请到联合国和非洲，分享电商脱贫的经验。


Currently, the China office of The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has already partnered Rural Taobao in implementing a poverty relief through industry development program in Anhui and other areas.

目前，联合国世界粮食计划署中国办公室已经跟村淘一起，在安徽等地开展电商产业扶贫。

她认为我们全球化其实忽略了最重要的问题，就是全球化的体与用的问题，还有全球化的阶段问题。


As a result, many believed that globalization has stagnated. Moreover, in the new phase, many developed and developing countries hold different attitudes toward globalization and its pattern.

这样子很多人认为全球化停滞了，而且很多发达国家和发展中国家，在新的阶段里面他们对全球化的态度不一样，是对模式的不一样。


The second concept is concerned with issues related to the intermediate phase of globalization. What constrains the intermediate phase of globalization?

第二个概念就是全球化中期阶段的问题，全球化的中期阶段受什么制约呢？


The reason why globalization is constrained by the economic environment and fundamentals is precisely because changing economic fundamentals have led to constraints on globalization.

受经济环境基础的制约，正是因为经济基础发生了变化全球化才发生了制约。


Zhang Li believed that adjustments to the global economy have generally come to an end at the end of 2017. A new growth phase, will begin in 2018, and growth will be driven by producer goods.

张莉认为，2017年底全球经济调整基本上结束，2018年之后将进入新一轮增长期，下一轮增长一定是生产品拉动。


JD’s first fresh food supermarket 7FRESH officially opened for business recently, and plans to set up more than 1,000 stores nationwide in three to five years.

京东首家生鲜超市7FRESH近日正式开业，计划未来3到5年在全国铺设超过1000家门店。


Together with Alibaba’s Hema Supermarket, Yonghui Superstores’ Super Species, Suning’s SUFRESH, Meituan’s Zhangyu Store, and others, “new retail outlets” have begun to emerge in clusters, and have even “challenged” each other on price in this innovative model.

加上阿里的盒马鲜生、永辉的超级物种、苏宁的苏鲜生、美团的掌鱼生鲜等，“新零售门店”开始扎堆出现，并在创新模式甚至价格上互相“叫板”。


The fresh food supermarket war has escalated, and have become a phenomenal topic in the new retail sector. Just what is new in new retail?

生鲜超市争夺战升级，已经成为新零售领域的现象级话题，新零售到底新在哪？


“We will rapidly expand nationwide in 2018, and will open a large number of stores in Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou before the Spring Festival,”

“2018年我们会快速进入全国，春节前在北京、上海、杭州会开出一大堆的店。”


Hema Supermarket CEO Hou Yi revealed the company’s new approach for 2018 at the 2nd New Retail Summit on the 10th.

盒马鲜生CEO侯毅10日在第二届新零售峰会上透露了2018年的“新打法”。


“With effect from 2018, Hema will not merely be a fresh produce e-commerce firm; rather, we will be a general household goods and grocery e-commerce firm that meets consumers’ requirement for prompt delivery service.

“从2018年开始，盒马不单单是一家生鲜电商，而是满足消费者即时服务的生活品类电商。


The core model calls for conduction and experience in offline stores, while genuine sales are done online.”

核心模式线下是引流、体验，线上是真正的销售。”


Unlike traditional hypermarkets and supermarkets, Hema Supermarket is, in the eyes of many consumers, a popular Internet store that is fun and has good food. Some intermediaries have even come up with the concept of “He district housing” (housing within a 3km radius of a Hema Supermarket).

区别于传统的大卖场、超市，盒马鲜生在很多消费者眼里是一家好玩好吃的“网红店”，甚至有中介机构打出了“盒区房”的概念。


Both online e-commerce platforms and offline retail stores have their respective strengths and weaknesses, and consumers are present at various channels. Therefore, both parties are attempting the multi-channel model.

线上电商平台和线下零售商各有优缺点，消费者却是在多种渠道出现，所以双方都在尝试全渠道模式。


Industry insiders believe that against the general backdrop of consumption upgrading, more “Hema type” stores will be opened in 2018.

业内认为，在消费升级的大背景下，2018年“类盒马”的门店会越来越多。


Meanwhile, Hema has continued to widen its product scope, expanding from fresh foods initially into other consumer goods. This suggests that more innovation in the retail market will be forthcoming in the new year.

而盒马从最初的生鲜不断探索到更多消费领域，预示了在新的一年里，零售市场将出现更多创新。


“For instance, the integrated online-offline business model has attracted consumer eyeballs. Fresh foods supermarkets that have opened across the country have been popular among and welcomed by the masses.”

“比如线上线下结合的业务模式，吸引了消费者的眼球，各地开出的生鲜超市叫座又叫好。”


“Nonetheless, these relationships are useless regardless of how much you talk about them or how cool they are. At the end of the day, it’s all about whether or not you have given consumers a good experience. Only after I have had an experience would I be willing to foot the bill.”

“但这些关系说得再多，再炫都没用，最后落实到你是不是给消费者带来了美好的体验，我体验好了才愿意买单。”


As far as RT-Mart’s feiniu.com CEO Yuan Bin is concerned, under the new retail environment, consumer habits have changed; and shopping requirements have changed as well.

在大润发飞牛网联席CEO袁彬看来，新零售环境下，消费者习惯改变了，购买需求也改变了。


Originally, there was a clear demarcation between online and offline; offline wanted to defeat online, and online wanted to counter-attack offline. Now, on the other hand, it’s become a partnership, because consumers no longer see a difference between online and offline.

原来纯线上、线下是割裂的，线下要打败线上，线上要反攻线下，现在是一起牵手，因为消费者已经没有线上线下的区分了。


Capital, competing for a slice of the pie, has made the retail market, represented by fresh food supermarkets, a powder keg.

资本的争相入局，让目前以生鲜超市为代表的新零售火药味十足。


Analysis shows that at present, new retail competition in Tier 1 cities is still a long way from a red ocean situation, and there is still plenty of Tier 2 cities yet to be explored. Enormous opportunities and potential exist in the market.

分析认为，目前新零售在一线城市的竞争还远未到红海的格局，而且还有大片的二线城市尚待挖掘，市场仍有很大机会和空间。


New retail plans proposed by different types of industries will lead new retail development into a state of diversified growth.

不同类型的行业对于新零售的布局，会将新零售的发展带入一个多元化的发展状态。


CCTV-2 and the National Academy of Economic Strategy, CASS have compiled a stack of dry goods, i.e., this weighty annual report on the development of the e-commerce industry in China.

央视财经频道联合中国社科院财经战略研究院，给大家梳理了一份干货，就是这份沉甸甸的中国电商年度发展报告。


What sort of report card did China’s e-commerce industry receive this year?

这一年来，中国电商出了一份怎样的成绩单？


What are the growth trends of the global e-commerce industry?

全球电商又都有哪些发展趋势？


Total sales volume set a new record while growth returned to the acceleration track

销售总量再破记录增速重回加速轨道


China’s online retail sales have been sky rocketing since 2006. This may be attributed to the fact that online shopping was still a very novel idea at the time. Shopping without leaving home; cool!

从2006年开始，我国网上零售额可以说一直呈现超高速增长，估计是那会儿觉得网购很新鲜，不出门也能买东西，太酷了！


Since 2013 however, the online retail sales growth rate has decelerated from more than 50% to less than 40% for the first time in 2015; in 2016, the growth rate was 26.2%.

但从2013年开始，网上零售增速开始降至50%以下，2015年，增速首次低于40%，2016年增速居然变成了26.2%。


The situation changed this year, however. Online retail sales accelerated again. For the first nine months of this year, growth rate rebounded to 34.2%,

但是今年情况就不一样了，网上零售额重新加速，今年1-9月份，增速回升至34.2 %。


significantly higher than the growth rates seen in 2015 and 2016.

大大高于2015年、2016年的增长率。


Perhaps shoppers took a detour but eventually realized that retail therapy does wonders for one’s mind and body.

可能大家在外兜兜转转一圈，发现还是买买买更让人身心愉悦。


In particular, online retail sales of physical goods amounted to approximately RMB5.08 trillion, while online retail sales of services amounted to nearly RMB1.49 trillion.

其中，实物商品网上零售额近5.08万亿元，服务网上零售额近1.49万亿元。


This comprised 13.6% of total retail sales of consumer goods, up nearly 3 percentage points year-on-year.

在社会商品总零售额中占比达到13.6 %，同比提高近3个百分点。


Wake up, students. It’s time to highlight the key points. Online retail sales of services was definitely a major contributor!

同学们，别打瞌睡，划重点了，服务网上零售额绝对是一大功臣啊！


Elsewhere, per capita online shopping of French netizens who are obsessed with online shopping amounted to US$1,925. Goods they purchased online are primarily clothing, worthy of being called a nation of fashion lovers.

其次爱剁手的法国网民，人均网购额为1925美元，而他们网购最多的商品，是服装，不愧是爱时尚的国度。


Who says those who love online shopping most must be young?

最爱网购的，一定是年轻人吗？


The start-ups that will help your company avoid becoming the next Uber

帮助您避免公司成为下一个优步的初创公司


Amy Errett wanted to gauge employee happiness at her e-commerce start-up, but surveys weren't working.

艾米·埃雷特曾经想在她的电子商务初创公司调查员工的幸福感，但调查没什么作用。


Responses were often vague, unhelpful or, worse, deceitful.

得到的回复往往都语焉不详，毫无助益，甚至更糟的是还有欺骗性的回复。


And even if she promised anonymity, some workers didn't trust the process.

即使她承诺采用匿名形式，但是有些员工仍然不信任这一过程。


"It just never had consistency and objectivity," said Errett, who runs the 75-person San Francisco e-commerce hair care company Madison Reed.

埃雷特负责管理 75 人的旧金山电子商务护发公司 Madison Reed，她表示“得到的回复缺乏一致性和客观性”。


A new breed of human resources start-ups is cropping up to help companies figure out how their employees feel.

一批新的人力资源初创公司如雨后春笋般涌现，帮助公司了解员工的感受。


By building and licensing software that has the specific purpose of measuring employee engagement, they allow companies to do snap polls, target specific teams and demographic groups, offer employees anonymity and complaint hotlines, and in some cases allow whistle-blowers to bypass C-suite executives and go straight to the board of directors.

他们构建并授权专门用于衡量员工参与度的软件，从而使得公司可以针对特定团队和人口群体快速进行民意测验，为员工提供匿名和投诉热线，并且在某些情况下允许举报人绕过高管直接报告给董事会。


"You've now got tools such as Strava and Fitbit for tracking your health, but where's the Fitbit for your company?" said Jim Barnett, co-founder and chief executive of Redwood City start-up Glint, whose software analytics tools are used by companies to measure employee engagement.

“现在，你可以用 Strava 和 Fitbit 等工具来追踪你的健康状况，但是公司的 Fitbit 在哪里呢？”红木城创业公司 Glint 的联合创始人兼首席执行官吉姆·巴内特表示。Glint 软件分析工具被各家公司用来衡量员工敬业度。


Errett said she gained more insight into what her employees were thinking and feeling in three years using Glint.

埃雷特表示在三年内，她用 Glint 获得了对员工想法和感受的更多见解。


In addition to the snap surveys and polls of specific teams, it offers a heat map of the company showing at a glance which units have the most complaints and which managers have low approval scores - allowing her to drill down on why.

除了特定团队的快速调查和民意调查之外，Glint 还提供公司热图，哪些单位投诉最多，哪些经理批准分数低，一目了然 – 这让她能够深入了解原因。


Companies are coming to realize they must stay on top of their workplace culture, lest they become the next Uber, which has been enmeshed in scandal since a former employee published a blog post describing an environment of harassment where those who spoke out were punished.

各家公司开始意识到他们必须熟练掌控公司的职场文化，以免成为下一个优步。优步前员工之前发表了一篇博客文章描述骚扰环境，这些发言者被公司惩罚，之后优步便陷入了丑闻。


For start-ups such as Glint, this desire for oversight is a lucrative business opportunity.

对于像 Glint 这样的初创公司来说，公司这种监督愿望是一个钱途无量的商机。


The global governance, regulation and compliance industry could be worth more than $118.7 billion by 2020, according to finance tech insights website Let's Talk Payments.

根据金融技术分析网站 Let's Talk Payments 的数据，到 2020 年，全球治理、监管和合规行业的价值可能会超过 1,187 亿美元。


Denver, Colo., start-up Convercent, which helps companies prevent and detect bad behavior, saw an uptick in interest and activity earlier this year amid Uber's fall into disrepute.

科罗拉多州丹佛的初创企业 Convercent 致力于帮助公司防止和发现不良行为，在今年早些时候优步声誉受损期间，他们看到了此方面兴趣和活动的增加。


Convercent has nearly 600 clients, including Airbnb, Microsoft, and Tesla.

Convercent 拥有近 600 个客户，其中包括爱彼迎、微软和特斯拉。


Like Glint, Convercent lets companies send customized "pulse" surveys, gather confidential responses in real time, and view heat maps of its problem areas.

与 Glint 一样，Convercent 可以让公司发送定制化的“诊断”调查，实时收集机密回应，查看其问题区域的热图。


It also offers an anonymous texting hotline that lets employees report bad behavior.

Convercent 还提供匿名短信热线，让员工上报不良行为。


And if the chief executive is implicated, complaints go straight to the board of directors.

如果董事长受到牵连，那么投诉将直接进入董事会。


"The court of public opinion has usurped regulators," said Patrick Quinlan, the founder and chief executive of Convercent.

Convercent 的创始人兼首席执行官帕特里克·昆兰表示：“舆论法庭篡夺了监管机构的权力。


If a company is found to treat its employees poorly or behave unethically, even if regulators don't step in, it can face costly consequences from consumer boycotts, employee attrition and lawsuits, Quinlan said.

如果一家公司被发现对待员工不善或者对员工表现不道德，即使监管机构不介入，这家公司也可能面临消费者抵制、员工流失和卷入诉讼的高昂后果，昆兰表示。


Ruby Tuesday, the restaurant chain with more than 25,000 employees across 500 locations, has used Convercent for more than a year to ensure employees are aware of policies and procedures and offer an easy way to reach its corporate headquarters.

Ruby Tuesday 是一家横跨 500 多个地方并拥有超过 25,000 名员工的餐饮连锁店，已使用 Convercent 一年多，确保员工了解工作准则与工作规程，提供联系公司总部的轻松途径。


Previously, if an employee wanted to report a problem, he or she had to find a phone number or email for corporate headquarters, lodge a formal complaint, and hope it was taken seriously.

在此之前，如果员工想要报告问题，必须找到公司总部电话号码或电子邮件，提出正式投诉，并希望总部能对此予以认真对待。


It was often an intimidating and uncomfortable experience, said James Vitrano, Ruby Tuesday's general counsel, who said there was no good way of tracking employee complaints.

这往往是一种令人畏惧而不安的经历，Ruby Tuesday 的法律总顾问詹姆斯·维特拉诺如是说，他认为并没有一种好的方法可以追踪员工的投诉。


Now that the company is using Convercent, though, problems that were previously hidden from executives who sat in offices cities or states away - such as discrimination, harassment or unfair wage practices - can be more quickly identified and addressed.

但现在该公司使用 Convercent，就能更快地发现和解决之前位于远距离办公室、城市或州的高管所不知道的问题 - 如歧视、骚扰或不公平的工资行为。


"I can get closer to that holistic, 360-degree view into the employment experience," said Vitrano, who oversees Ruby Tuesday's risk management group.

“我可以更近地、360 度全方位地了解工作体验，”负责 Ruby Tuesday 风险管理团队的维特拉诺说道。


"And we're protecting our shareholders from employment litigation."

“我们正在保护我们的股东免受就业诉讼。”


Companies started taking ethics, values and employee engagement more seriously in 2002 after accounting firm Arthur Andersen collapsed because of ethical violations from the Enron scandal, Quinlan said.

昆兰表示，在安道尔会计师事务所因安然丑闻违反道德规范而倒闭后，各家公司从 2002 年开始更加重视道德、价值观和员工敬业度。


But it wasn't until "social media came into its own" that companies realized they couldn't stop their dirty laundry from going viral online.

但直到“社交媒体走入了自己的世界”之后，各家公司才意识到他们无法阻止他们的爆料在网上病毒式传播。


"Prior to using technology to monitor ethics, people used hope as a strategy," he said.

“在使用技术监测道德之前，人们把希望视为一种策略，”他说。


Both Glint and Convercent offer their software as a service, charging companies recurring fees to use their products.

Glint 和 Convercent 均将其软件作为服务提供，并向各家公司收取产品使用的经常性费用。


It's a business model and opportunity that has the approval of venture capital investors, who have propped up both start-ups.

这种商业模式和商业机会得到风险投资者的支持，这些投资者已经为这两家初创公司提供支持。


Convercent raised $10 million in funding in February from firms such as Sapphire Ventures and Tola Capital, bringing its total capital raised to $47 million.

2 月份，Convercent 从 Sapphire Ventures 和 Tola Capital 等公司筹集了 1000 万美元的资金，其总资本上升至 4700 万美元。


Glint secured $10 million in November from Bessemer Venture Partners, bringing its total funding to $60 million.

11 月份，Glint 从 Bessemer Venture Partners 获得了 1000 万美元的资金，其总资金达到 6000 万美元。


These investments hardly come as a surprise, given the interconnected nature of companies, culture and venture capital.

鉴于公司、文化和风险投资之间的相互关联性，这些投资几乎不会让人感到惊讶。


There's a growing body of research showing today's employees expect more from their workplaces than before.

越来越多的研究表明，今天的员工对工作场所的期望比以前更高。


In competitive markets such as Silicon Valley, high salaries and interesting projects are merely table stakes.

在像硅谷这样竞争激烈的市场中，高薪水和有趣的项目仅仅是赌注。


Employees want to feel that they're accepted and valued and that they're giving their time to a company with a positive mission.

员工希望感受到他们被接受、被重视，感受到他们的时间花在一个有积极使命的公司身上。


"When people are happy to be at a company, feel their voices are heard, and that the work they are doing is rewarding, they are more committed to making that company successful," said Nina McQueen, vice president of global benefits and employee experience at LinkedIn, which uses both Convercent and Glint.

“当人们乐于加入公司、感受到他们的声音被聆听、他们所做的工作是有益的，他们就会更加致力于让公司取得成功，”LinkedIn 全球福利和员工体验副总裁妮娜·麦卡特尼表示。LinkedIn 同时使用 Convercent 和 Glint 这两款软件。


Investors achieve returns when their portfolio companies do well; companies do well when employees are committed and engaged.

投资者在其投资组合公司表现良好时实现回报；公司在员工忠诚和敬业时表现良好。


If third-party analytics tools promise to increase employee commitment and engagement, it's no wonder they're finding backing.

如果第三方分析工具承诺增加员工的忠诚度和敬业度，他们会寻找财务支持也就不足为怪了。


Having data on employee engagement is important, according to workplace culture experts.

工作场所文化专家称，掌握员工敬业度数据非常重要。


But the data are useless unless a company's custodians take action.

但是，除非公司的管理员采取行动，否则这些数据毫无用处。


In fact, if a company asks employees for their feedback, it can set an expectation that change is on the way.

事实上，如果一家公司要求员工提供反馈意见，就可以预期这家公司正在进行变革。


And if change doesn't come fast enough, or at all, it can breed disappointment and make employees disengaged.

如果变革进展得不够快，或者没有一点进展，则可能会带来失望，并导致员工脱离公司。


"If you're going to ask for 4,000 suggestions, you need to be prepared to have 4,000 conversations," said Russell Raath, president of consulting at business management firm Kotter International, who has seen companies make the mistake of relying too much on data collection.

商业管理公司科特国际公司的咨询业务主管拉塞尔·拉思表示：“如果你想寻求 4000 条建议，那么你需要准备好进行 4000 次对话。”他看到过一些公司过分依赖数据采集的错误。


"Because if you don't follow through, employees will wonder, 'Did you really hear me?

“因为如果不全程跟进，员工就会想，‘你真的听到我说的了吗？


And if you don't care, why should I care?' "

如果你不在乎，我为什么要在乎呢？’”


Madison Reed, which now does monthly employee surveys, has been able to take action the same day a problem is reported on Glint, according to Errett.

埃雷特表示，Madison Reed 现在每月进行员工调查，已经能够在 Glint 报告问题的当天采取行动。


And, after gathering feedback from employees frustrated by the speed of decision-making and the quality of communication, she was able to reorganize several teams within the company and add communication training to address the issues.

收集员工有关他们因决策速度和沟通质量而受挫的反馈意见之后，她就能够通过重组公司内部团队、增加沟通培训来解决问题。


Over at Ruby Tuesday, the company is getting new insight on its employees, and it's hoping that in the long run, this will convert to better retention of workers in an industry known for high turnover.

Ruby Tuesday 公司正在获取对其员工的新见解，从长远来看，他们希望能够在这个以高人才流失率著称的行业中作出转变，更好地保留员工。


"If you're not committed to creating a culture of transparency, you're going to lose people," Vitrano said.

“如果你不致力于创造透明文化，你会失去人才，”维特拉诺说道。


"And if you lose people, you're going to lose customers.

“如果你失去了人才，你就将失去客户。


And when you lose customers, you're going to lose companies."

而当你失去客户时，你就将失去公司。”

The NCAA's elimination of two-a-day practices makes for a long day for the Bruins

NCAA 取消每日两次的训练，延长熊队白天的训练时间


It's pushing 11 p.m. as a throng of UCLA football players linger to chat on one side of the team's new on-campus practice fields.

时间接近晚上 11 点，加州大学洛杉矶分校足球队队员在球队新的校园练习场旁边徘徊聊天。


Some have peeled off their jersey tops, revealing backs slick with sweat from the toil of the first day of training camp.

有些球员已经脱下运动衫，露出集训营第一天努力训练后汗流浃背的身体。


For a good chunk of the team, these idle minutes constitute a midday break.

对于球队中很大一部分人来说，这空闲的几分钟就是休息时间。


Players enrolled in summer classes will head back to their dorms after the three-hour practice to study for final exams before returning to the Wasserman Football Center for meetings at 6:30 the following morning.

参加夏季课程的球员在三小时练习后将返回宿舍备考期末考试，然后第二天早上 6:30 返回 Wasserman 足球中心参加会议。


"This is a grind for these guys the next three days," Bruins coach Jim Mora said not long before Monday turned into Tuesday.

“接下来的三天对这些家伙是一种磨合，”熊队教练吉姆·莫拉在周一即将进入周二时说道。


The NCAA's elimination of two-a-day practices, designed to lighten the load on players, has actually lengthened their days - at least until finals end Friday.

NCAA 取消了每日两次练习（旨在减轻球员负担），但实际上延长了他们白天的训练时间 - 至少在周五结束之前。


That's why UCLA's first three practices were scheduled to begin at 7:15 p.m. to accommodate players' already crammed schedules.

这就是为什么加州大学洛杉矶分校的前三次训练定于下午 7 点 15 分开始，以适应球员已经挤塞的时间表。


The trade-off from no two-a-days is more one-a-days, the Bruins pushing up the start of camp nearly a week from last season and holding practices during summer school for the first time during Mora's six seasons in Westwood.

从取消一天两次训练到更多地进行一天一次训练，熊队在上个赛季前差不多一个星期展开训练，莫拉在韦斯特伍德的六个赛季中首次于暑期学校进行训练。


They are scheduled to hold 18 practices through Aug. 20 before beginning formal game preparations for their opener against Texas A&M on Sept.

他们计划从 8 月 20 日开始进行 18 场训练，然后再开始为 9 月份首战德州农工进行正式比赛做赛前准备。


Mora said he supported the NCAA's rule change even if it did add another item to players' busy itineraries.

莫拉说，他支持 NCAA 的规则调整，虽然这样会让球员繁忙的行程又增加了另一个项目。


"We're putting this enormous load on them for three or four days and it's very challenging," Mora said.

“三或四天时间内，我们会给他们施加巨大的训练量，非常具有挑战性，”莫拉说道。


"And they've just pushed through it; they grind, they're great kids.

“他们也刚刚通过。他们在磨练，他们都是很棒的孩子。


I think once we get to Saturday and we'll have more time, it will really be great."

我想到了周六，我们就会有更多时间，真的很棒。”


UCLA will close its practices once camp is finished, no easy task given the clear sight lines of its fields from an adjacent parking lot and the adjoining Luskin Center, an upscale hotel that has already been pelted with footballs that cleared a protective net behind a goalpost.

集训营一结束，加州大学洛杉矶分校就会停止训练。考虑到邻近的停车场和 Luskin Center 的清晰视线，这不是一个容易的任务。Luskin Center 高级酒店已被穿过球门柱后防护网的足球投掷得遍体鳞伤。


Bruins players are scheduled to occupy the hotel beginning this weekend, but Mora acknowledged that there could be an issue once those rooms are vacant during the season.

本周末开始，熊队队员将住在酒店。但莫拉承认，一旦这些房间在赛季中空置，可能会出现问题。


“我们会采取安保措施，”莫拉说。


"That is a real concern and it's not far-fetched to think that people can rent a room and sit up there and videotape a practice.

“这是一个真正令人担忧的问题。认为有人可能会租一个房间、坐在房间里录制训练场景，这个想法并不牵强。


If you have videotape of a practice, it's a pretty good deal.

如果你有训练录像带，也相当不错。


But we'll have security there and we'll have security up in Parking Lot 8.

但是我们在那里会采安保措施，在 8 号停车场也会采取安保措施。


We'll do the best we can with what we got.

我们会利用现有资源，做到最好。


I'm not going to worry too much about it.


我们已经制定好了计划。”

澳洲统计局(ABS)数据显示，今年第二季度，全澳房屋价值平均上涨1.5%至2%，年增3.5%，创自2013年3月以来最低年增率。


Just when real estate agents were looking forward to selling more real estate during the holiday season, growth rate of residential property prices was the lowest since 2013.

就在房产中介期待在节日季出售更多房产之际，澳洲房价增幅却创2013年以来最低水平。
