>Looted relic comes back home
流失文物'虎鎣'重回祖國
A Chinese bronze vessel some 3,000 years old that was looted and taken to the UK in the 19th century has returned to its country of origin. It was transferred to the National Museum of China on Tuesday. The vessel, known as the Bronze Tiger Ying, was auctioned in April by Britain's Canterbury Auction Galleries. The buyer, through the auction house, contacted China's State Administration of Cultural Heritage later and expressed hope for an unconditional donation. Information shows the vessel, from the late period of the Western Zhou Dynasty (c. 11th century-771 BC) and once belonging to the royal family of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), was taken away by British military officer Harry Evans from the Old Summer Palace, which was sacked and destroyed in 1860 during the invasion of Anglo-French allied forces.
我國一件已有約3000年歷史、于19世紀(jì)被掠走并流失英國的青銅器近日重回祖國。11日，青銅"虎鎣"被移交給國家博物館。今年4月，"虎鎣"在英國坎特伯雷拍賣行被拍賣，后來買家通過拍賣行聯(lián)系國家文物局，表示希望將其無條件捐贈。資料顯示，"虎鎣"是西周晚期文物，原為清朝皇室舊藏，被英國軍官哈利?埃文斯從圓明園劫走。1860年英法聯(lián)軍入侵我國時洗劫并摧毀了圓明園。

>Sale of yellow vests banned
埃及限售黃色反光背心
Egyptian authorities restricted the sale of yellow reflective vests amid fears opponents might attempt to copy French gilets jaunes protesters. Security officials and retailers said industrial safety equipment dealers have been instructed not to sell yellow vests to walk-in buyers and to restrict business to wholesale to verified companies, but only after securing police permission. Offenders would be punished. The yellow vests worn by French protesters have become the symbol of the wave of demonstrations that began in November against a rise in fuel taxes but mushroomed to include a range of demands, including the resignation of President Emmanuel Macron.
因擔(dān)心反對者可能試圖效仿法國的"黃背心"抗議者，埃及當(dāng)局已限制出售黃色反光背心。安全官員和零售商表示，工業(yè)安全設(shè)備經(jīng)銷商已收到通知，不得向未預(yù)約的買家出售黃背心，業(yè)務(wù)范圍限定為向經(jīng)過驗證的企業(yè)批發(fā)，但需提前得到警方批準(zhǔn)。違規(guī)者將受到處罰。法國抗議者所穿的黃色背心已成為11月開始的抗議浪潮的象征，這波抗議浪潮最初是為了反對燃油稅上調(diào)，但迅速演變成表達(dá)要求總統(tǒng)馬克龍辭職等眾多訴求的活動。

>42% employees work overtime
42%中國勞動者超時工作
A recent report shows 42.2% of Chinese employees worked overtime in 2017, with the average schedule exceeding eight hours. Researchers from Inner Mongolia University have studied the usage of time among 30,591 people in 12,471 families across 29 provinces and municipalities throughout China. Low-income earners, people with lower education, and workers in the manufacturing and production sectors were found to be more likely to work extra time, as high as 58.8% for those employed in manufacturing. Du Fenglian, the project's lead researcher and also dean of the Economics and Management School at Inner Mongolia University, said the study found Chinese women are spending more time at home and less time working, a trend also observed in South Korea and Japan.
