Hey guys! It's August 26th, 2024. Today’s news is about tourism. We know that the pandemic has caused a tremendous loss to the tourism industry. As everything comes back to the new normal, people start to go travelling again. As a result, lots of places are now suffering from the surge of tourists, and the troubles they bring. 【新闻原文】The backlash against tourism On Friday Spain, the world’s second-biggest tourist destination (after France), reported that it had 9.3m international visitors in June. In the first half of 2024, visitor numbers were up by 13.3% compared with last year as tourists returned after covid. That is causing a backlash. Residents in Barcelona, for instance, have taken part in anti-tourist protests. Athenian activists have put on funerals for their dead neighbourhoods. Authorities in Japan have put up a fence to spoil a popular view of Mount Fuji and prevent tourists gathering. In places like Barcelona residents complain about crowds, dirty streets and higher prices. In response, some cities are seeking to limit tourist numbers; new policies include entry fees, limits on cruise-ship berths and crackdowns on short-term lets. Balancing the interests of visitors and locals is a challenge for policymakers. Receipts from tourism can be invested in infrastructure and higher-value-added sectors, as has happened in Italy and, more recently, Mexico. 【参考译文】 对旅游业的抵制 【逐句解析】 On Friday Spain, the world’s second-biggest tourist destination (after France), reported that it had 9.3m international visitors in June.

Hey guys! It's Aug 11th 2024. Today’s news is about the Marvel Universe. Recently, it has got into some trouble because audiences are tired of an excess of superheroes. However, what has been just released – the Deadpool, seemed to be getting the audience back. Why? What’s special about the Deadpool? Let’s listen to the news. 【听力原文】Marvel searches for a hero All is not well in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Once a dominant presence in the entertainment industry, the Disney-owned franchise is in a rut. Analysts blame a surfeit of superhero films, which has dulled audiences’ appetites. The MCU’s rival, the DC Extended Universe, is also struggling. But the “Deadpool” series has an advantage that other superhero films lack: it presents a caustic, self-referential parody of the genre and its tropes. By importing “Deadpool” from 20th Century, a Disney-owned studio, the MCU is trying to have it both ways. Had enough of superheroes? Deadpool is a character who shares your disdain. 【参考译文】漫威寻找新英雄 【逐句分析】 1. All is not well in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The MCU’s rival, the DC Extended Universe, is also struggling. 漫威电影宇宙一切都不如意。这家迪士尼旗下的特许经营公司曾经在娱乐行业中占据主导地位，如今正陷入困境。分析师将其归咎于过量的超级英雄电影，削弱了观众的胃口。漫威的对手——DC扩展宇宙也面临类似的困境。 All is not well: 情况不妙：表示目前的情况不好，出现了问题或困难。 < It seems that all is not well at home.> 看来家中并非事事如意。 Cinematic: adj. 电影的；电影制作的 <cinematic effects/techniques> 电影制作效果╱技术 Franchise: n. a business or service run under franchise 获特许权的商业（或服务）机构 <They operate franchises in London and Paris.>他们在伦敦和巴黎经营专卖店。 特许经营权：a catering/rail franchise餐饮╱铁路经营权 Be in a rut: (思维、做事方式的) 刻板状态; (生活、事业) 一成不变状态 < I don't like being in a rut – I like to keep moving on.> 我不喜欢一成不变–我喜欢不断前进。 A surfeit of sth: 过量 = an excess of < Rationing had put an end to a surfeit of biscuits long ago.> 定量供应很久以前就结束了饼干过剩的情况。 Dull: v. to become or be made weaker or less severe减轻；（使）变麻木 <The tablets they gave him dulled the pain for a while.> 他们给他的药片暂时缓解了疼痛。 Adj. 迟钝的，愚笨的 <a dull pupil> 脑子迟钝的小学生 DC扩展宇宙（英语：DC Extended Universe，简称DCEU），是一个美国跨媒体制作的共享宇宙，围绕着根据DC漫画出版物中的角色改编的超级英雄影视作品——包括超人、蝙蝠侠、神奇女侠等 But the “Deadpool” series has an advantage that other superhero films lack: it presents a caustic, self-referential parody of the genre and its tropes. By importing “Deadpool” from 20th Century, a Disney-owned studio, the MCU is trying to have it both ways. Had enough of superheroes? Deadpool is a character who shares your disdain. 然而，“死侍”系列却有着其他超级英雄电影所不具备的优势：它以一种辛辣且自嘲的方式对这一类型及其套路进行讽刺。通过将20世纪影业（同样属于迪士尼的子公司）出品的“死侍”引入漫威电影宇宙，漫威似乎在试图做到了两全其美。厌倦了超级英雄？死侍这个角色与你的反感感同身受。 Caustic: adj. 尖酸刻薄的；挖苦的；讥讽的 caustic comments/wit 刻薄话；长于讽刺 Self-referential: 自我指涉的，自指的（即指向同一文学作品，或涉及作者或作者的其他作品） Parody: 滑稽模仿作品 <a parody of a horror film> 一部恐怖电影的仿作 Genre: [/ˈʒɒ̃rə/] n. 体裁，类型 Trope: n. 比喻词语 Have it both ways: to get advantages from two opposing things 两者兼得 <You can't have it both ways - you either work longer and get paid more or have more leisure time and get paid less.> 你不可能两全其美——要么工作时间更长，收入更高，要么休闲时间更多，收入更少。 Disdain: (sing.) n. 鄙视；蔑视；鄙弃 a disdain for sb/sth 对…的蔑视 <a disdain for the law>对法律的藐视

Hey guys! It's July 16th 2024. Today’s news is about the Olympics, and in particular swimming. Do you know which countries are the best in Swimming in terms of winning Olympic medals? In the past, the States and Australia were two countries that took over 50% of the Gold Medals. Particularly, Australians are very strong in women's 100m freestyle. However, that has also brought troubles to them. Why is that? 【听力原文】Australian swimming’s deep pool of talent Olympic finals usually bring together the best athletes from around the globe. Occasionally, though, one country’s depth of talent can skew that outcome: Australia’s in swimming, for example. In the women’s 100m freestyle, five currently-competing Australians have recorded one of the 25 fastest times in history. Yet countries can only enter two athletes per Olympic event. Consequently Australia’s national trials, which began on Monday in Brisbane, could see faster times than the Olympics this summer. The contestants in Brisbane include Emma McKeon, the current Olympic champion; Cate Campbell, the fourth-fastest woman ever; and Mollie O’Callaghan, last year’s world champion. Whatever happens, at least one of them will be excluded from the Olympic team—more if other decorated swimmers, such as Ms Campbell’s sister Bronte or Shayna Jack (a five-time world champion) spring a surprise. Olympic rules mean that more countries have a greater chance to win medals. But they also mean some world-class athletes are left out. 【参考译文】澳大利亚游泳界人才济济 Pool: n. 共用的资源、人员（或资金） < a pool of cheap labour> 廉价后备劳力 【逐句分析】 1.Olympic finals usually bring together the best athletes from around the globe. Occasionally, though, one country’s depth of talent can skew that outcome: Australia’s in swimming, for example. In the women’s 100m freestyle, five currently-competing Australians have recorded one of the 25 fastest times in history. 奥运会决赛通常将全球最优秀的运动员聚集在一起。不过，偶尔也会有一个国家的人才深度影响到这一结果，比如澳大利亚的游泳水平。在女子100米自由泳中，5名现役澳大利亚选手创造了历史上25个最快成绩之一。 Skew: v. to change or influence sth with the result that it is not accurate, fair, normal, etc.歪曲；曲解；使不公允；影响…的准确性 < to skew the statistics> 影响统计数字的准确性 Freestyle: 自由泳；backstroke: 仰泳；breaststroke: 蛙泳； butterfly stroke 蝶泳 ②Yet countries can only enter two athletes per Olympic event. Consequently Australia’s national trials, which began on Monday in Brisbane, could see faster times than the Olympics this summer. 然而，每届奥运会每个国家只能派出两名运动员参赛。因此，周一在布里斯班开始的澳大利亚国家选拔赛可能会比今年夏天的奥运会更快。 Enter: v. 使报名参加竞赛 < His wife Marie secretly entered him for the championship.> 他的妻子玛丽偷偷给他报名参加锦标赛。 v. 报名参加，为…报名参加（考试、比赛等） < Only four British players have entered for the championship.>只有四名英国运动员报名参加锦标赛。 Trial: n. 预赛；选拔赛 < Olympic trials> 奥林匹克运动会选拔赛 n. （法院的）审讯，审理，审判 be on trial （受审）；the case comes to trial (开庭审理) n. （对能力、质量、性能等的）试验，试用 a trial period （试用期）； the machine is on trial (试用) 3.

Olympic rules mean that more countries have a greater chance to win medals. But they also mean some world-class athletes are left out. 无论发生什么，她们中至少有一人将被排除在奥运队伍之外——如果其他获得过荣誉的游泳运动员，比如坎贝尔的妹妹勃朗特或五次世界冠军得主谢娜·杰克(Shayna Jack)出现意外，情况会更糟。奥运规则意味着更多的国家有更大的机会赢得奖牌。但这也意味着一些世界级运动员被排除在外。 Exclude – be excluded from…(从…中排除在外) <Try excluding fat from your diet.>平时用餐时尽量避免含脂肪的食品。 <The cost of borrowing has been excluded from the inflation figures.>通胀数字未包括借贷成本。 Include – be included in/into 容纳进…内 <I had worked hard to be included in a project like this.> 为了成为这样的项目的一分子，我过去一直埋头苦干。 Decorate: v.

Hey guys! It's June 26th, 2024. Today we are going to talk about Siri. Siri is the virtual assistant of Apple products. It was a great hit when it first came out. However, it hasn’t been updated for years and people start to complain about its function - particularly in comparison to AI. But a few weeks ago Apple announced that they are going to release the updated version soon. Let’s find out more from the news. Hey Siri, are you finally getting an upgrade? 你好Siri，终于更新了吗？ Upgrade: v/n. （机器、计算机系统等）升级；提高；改进 V. 提高（设施、服务等的）档次；改善；使升格 <His family was upgraded from economy to business class.> 他的家人从经济舱升到了商务舱。 【逐段解析】 When Apple first unveiled Siri, the virtual assistant was a breakthrough. Over a decade later, it has become more frustrating than fascinating. But from Monday through to Friday, an upgraded Siri will take centre stage at Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference. The event looks likely to be the most significant for several years. 当苹果首次推出Siri时，这个虚拟助手是一项重要突破。十多年后，它更多是令人失望、而非令人相当兴奋的产品。但从周一到周五，升级版的Siri将成为苹果年度全球开发者大会的中心舞台。这次会议可能是几年来最重要的一次。 Unveil: v. （首次）展示，介绍，推出；将…公之于众 SYN introduce, reveal. <They will be unveiling their new models at the Motor Show.> 他们将在汽车大展上首次推出自己的新型汽车。 Veil: n. 面纱，面罩; 掩饰；掩盖 <a bridal veil> 新娘的面纱 <Their work is carried out behind a veil of secrecy.> 他们的工作是在秘密掩护下进行的。 Breakthrough: n. 重大进展；突破 (to make/achieve a ~) Break through: If you break through, you achieve success even though there are difficulties and obstacles.

The integration of large language models will help the assistant handle complex requests and quick back-and-forth dialogue—rather than the stilted conversations users are accustomed to. Apple will also introduce generative AI into web browsing, emoji creation and more in its operating-system updates. Siri的革新将由生成式人工智能提供动力。大型语言模型的集成将帮助Siri助手处理复杂的请求和快速的来回对话，而不是用户习惯的生硬对话。苹果还将在其操作系统更新中，将生成式人工智能引入网页浏览、表情符号创作等领域。 Overhaul: [ /ˈəʊvəhɔːl/ ] n. 检修；大修 <a complete/major overhaul> 全面╱大检修 Power: v. 为…提供动力、支持 <The aircraft is powered by a jet engine.>这架飞机由喷气发动机驱动。 Generative AI: 生成式人工智能 large language models: 大语言模型 Back-and-forth: adj. 反复的, 一来一回的 <back-and-forth conversation> 来回互动的对话 Stilted: [ /ˈstɪltɪd/ ] adj.

Hey guys! It's June 19th, 2024. Today’s news is about internet addiction. Are you addicted to your phone? And do you feel that time passed really fast once you are scrolling on your phone – with apps like TikTok and Weibo? Scientists have found out that internet addiction works similarly to drug addition, and that’s why young people cannot easily get rid of it. Let’s find out more from the news. 【听力原文】How internet addiction moulds teenagers’ brains Many people worry that too much screen time for youngsters could be a bad thing. A new study sets out to examine those concerns, published in PLOS Mental Health, a journal. The authors analysed data from 12 recent studies, all of which scanned the brain activity of teenagers diagnosed with internet addiction. The results were clear: all of the studies showed significant disruption to the neural networks of internet-addicted teens. Moreover, all of them found that this disruption directly contributes to negative tendencies that are strikingly similar to those of drug addicts. These include compulsions, cravings and lying about use. The studies had one more thing in common: all of them were conducted in Asian countries. But this is probably because Asians fret more than Westerners about internet addiction, rather than because Western teens are any less hooked. 【参考译文】网瘾如何塑造青少年的大脑 Mould: v. 对…影响重大；将…塑造成 SYN influence, affect, shape. <The experience had moulded and coloured her whole life.> 这次经历影响了她的一生。 n. 模具；铸模 <a clay mould> 粘土模具 n. 霉；霉菌 < There's mould on the cheese.> 干酪发霉了。 【逐句分析】 ①Many people worry that too much screen time for youngsters could be a bad thing.

The authors analysed data from 12 recent studies, all of which scanned the brain activity of teenagers diagnosed with internet addiction. 许多人担心青少年看屏幕时间过长可能是一件坏事。一项发表在《公共科学图书馆心理健康》杂志上的新研究开始调查这些担忧。作者分析了最近12项研究的数据，所有这些研究都扫描了被诊断为网瘾的青少年的大脑活动。 Screen time: 看屏幕的时间 Set out to do sth: If you set out to do something, you start trying to do it. 开始努力做某事 < He has achieved what he set out to do three years ago.> 他已经完成了3年前开始努力做的事情。 Diagnose: v. 诊断（疾病）；判断（问题的原因） Sb be diagnosed as having…/with… 某人确诊患上… < The soldiers were diagnosed as having flu.> 这些士兵被诊断为患了流感。 Sth be diagnosed as 被确诊为… <The illness was diagnosed as cancer.> 此病诊断为癌症。 Diagnosis: n. 诊断；（问题原因的）判断 < diagnosis of lung cancer>肺癌的诊断 ②The results were clear: all of the studies showed significant disruption to the neural networks of internet-addicted teens.

Hey guys! It's June 17th, 2024. Today’s news is about British currency. Do you know Charles III is now appearing on the notes? Do you know when was the photo taken? And how long will that last? Let’s find out from the news! 【听力原文】Charles III is on the money For decades most Britons came into daily contact with their queen by handling notes and coins bearing Elizabeth II’s face. On Wednesday the keenest notaphilists can queue at the Bank of England to get the first banknotes featuring King Charles III. Elizabeth was the first British royal to appear on paper currency. Her final portrait, made in 1990 when she was 64, appeared on notes until her death in 2022. Charles, too, will probably remain frozen in late-middle age. Although the king was 73 on the day of his coronation, his monetary image is based on a photograph taken ten years before. Britons will see far less of him than they did of his mother. Many no longer carry cash. And the late queen’s notes will not be taken out of circulation unless they are damaged—a rare occurrence, since they are made from a durable polymer. Wallets will continue to hold Elizabeth’s image alongside her son’s, and perhaps even that of the monarch who succeeds him. 【参考译文】查尔斯三世登上英国纸币 【逐句分析】 ①For decades most Britons came into daily contact with their queen by handling notes and coins bearing Elizabeth II’s face. On Wednesday the keenest notaphilists can queue at the Bank of England to get the first banknotes featuring King Charles III. 几十年来，大多数英国人通过使用印有伊丽莎白二世头像的纸币和硬币与女王进行日常接触。本周三，最狂热的收藏者们可以在英格兰银行排队领取第一批以国王查理三世为头像的纸币。 Come into contact with…: 与…接触 <This substance should not come into contact with food.> 这种物质切莫与食物接触。 Note: n. 纸币 = banknote ; coin: 硬币；cash: 现金；cheque: 支票 < a ￡5 note> 一张面值为5英镑的纸币 Bear: to show sth; to carry sth so that it can be seen显示；带有 <The document bore her signature.> 文件上有她的签字。 < She bears little resemblance to (= is not much like) her mother.> 她很不像她的母亲。 Notaphilist: n. 钞票收藏家 Feature: v. 以…为特色；由…主演；以…为主要组成 <The film features Cary Grant as a professor.>这部电影由卡里•格兰特饰演一位教授。 ②Elizabeth was the first British royal to appear on paper currency.

Although the king was 73 on the day of his coronation, his monetary image is based on a photograph taken ten years before. 伊丽莎白是第一个出现在纸币上的英国王室成员。她的最后一幅肖像是在1990年她64岁时创作的，直到2022年她去世前，一直出现在纸币上。查尔斯的画像也可能会在中年后期保持不变。虽然国王在加冕那天已经73岁了，但他的货币形象是基于十年前拍摄的一张照片。 Royal: n. 王室成员 Adj. 国王的；皇家的；王室的 The royal family/household 皇室； the Royal Navy 皇家海军 Currency: n. 通货；货币 Foreign currencies 外汇；local currency 当地货币；hard currency 硬通货 Portrait: [/ˈpɔːtreɪt/] n. 肖像；半身画像 < a full-length portrait>全身画像; self-portrait 自画像 n. 详细的描述；描绘 SYN depiction. <a portrait of life at the French court>对法国宫廷生活的详细描述 Coronation: n. 加冕；加冕典礼 ③Britons will see far less of him than they did of his mother.

Hey guys! It's June 13th, 2024. Today’s news is about Samsung Electronics’ first-ever strike. Last week, the National Samsung Electronics Union had its first strike in the company’s 55-year history. What happened? What workers were asking for? Let’s find out from the news. 【听力原文】Samsung Electronics’ first-ever strike 三星电子的首次罢工 The National Samsung Electronics Union, which accounts for about a fifth of Samsung Electronics’ total workforce, has called on its members to use annual leave to take Friday off. It will be the first industrial action in the South Korean technology giant’s 55-year history. Talks between the union and management have stalled over the amount of holiday workers receive, as well as the method used to calculate bonus payments. A subsidiary of Samsung Group, South Korea’s largest conglomerate, Samsung Electronics is one of the world’s biggest producers of memory chips, smartphones and televisions. While the disruptions from Friday’s walk-out may be minimal, the union has threatened a larger strike if its demands are not met. Samsung, which was fiercely anti-union until 2020, has little experience handling labour disputes. And the internal turbulence compounds its other recent woes. The firm has fallen behind SK Hynix, a local rival, in the race to produce chips used for artificial intelligence. 【逐句分析】 ①The National Samsung Electronics Union, which accounts for about a fifth of Samsung Electronics’ total workforce, has called on its members to use annual leave to take Friday off.
