'時(shí)代'周刊年度人物揭曉
Time magazine announced the "Person of the Year", which attracts much attention across the world, on Tuesday. A group of journalists, named as "The Guardians", who were either killed, arrested, or charged, acquired the title. They are Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, five members of the Capital Gazette staff, journalist Maria Ressa, and Reuters journalists Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo. A series of four black-and-white covers highlights what the magazine calls "the War on Truth." Time selected the group "for taking great risks in pursuit of greater truths, for the imperfect but essential quest for facts that are central to civil discourse, for speaking up and speaking out."

>Probe enters lunar orbit
嫦娥四號(hào)進(jìn)入環(huán)月軌道
China's Chang'e 4 robotic probe has approached the moon and entered lunar orbit, marking a major step in its mission to make a soft landing on the moon's far side. The China National Space Administration said in a statement on Wednesday that Chang'e 4 entered an elliptical lunar orbit about 100 km above the surface at 4:45 pm on Wednesday after nearly 110 hours of flight. It lifted off early on Saturday. The trajectory of the spacecraft was adjusted on Sunday to make sure it remains on the right track toward the silver sphere. It will remain in orbit for few days to adjust further to a suitable altitude and angle for its landing and also to perform in-orbit tests of the navigation sensors. It will also test its data links with the relay satellite, Queqiao, the statement said.

>HK top travel destination
香港登最熱旅行地榜首
UK-based market research company Euromonitor International has released its Top 100 City Destinations 2018 report, an annual ranking of the world's most popular cities by overseas tourist arrivals. Once again, Hong Kong has come out on top. Close to 30 million tourists are expected to travel to the region before the year is out - and more than 50% of them will be from the Chinese mainland. Asia continues to be the biggest player in the rankings, with 41 of the top 100 cities being on the continent. Bangkok holds onto its place as No 2 in the rankings, with close to 24 million visitors expected this year, while Singapore, Macao, Kuala Lumpur and Shenzhen are all the top 10. Another non-mover, London hangs in there in third place, with just under 21 million international tourists expected. Dubai is in seventh place, with 16.7 million visitors, although Euromonitor International reports that the Middle East and Africa regions are the lowest performers overall, with cities such as Jerba and Sousse in Tunisia and Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt dropping out of the ranking in recent years due to the impact of terrorist attacks.
英國(guó)市場(chǎng)調(diào)研公司歐睿國(guó)際近日公布"2018年百大旅游城市目的地"報(bào)告，這是一個(gè)根據(jù)境外游客到達(dá)人數(shù)排列的世界最受歡迎城市年度榜單。香港再次榮登榜首，今年年底前，預(yù)計(jì)有近3000萬(wàn)游客會(huì)到訪香港，其中超過(guò)50%的游客來(lái)自中國(guó)大陸。亞洲依然是該榜單的最大贏家，排名前100的城市中有41個(gè)來(lái)自亞洲。曼谷保住了第二名的寶座，今年預(yù)計(jì)會(huì)有近2400萬(wàn)游客到訪，新加坡、澳門(mén)、吉隆坡和深圳均躋身前10。倫敦的排名也維持不變，位列第3，預(yù)計(jì)今年將接待近2100萬(wàn)的國(guó)際游客。雖然歐睿國(guó)際報(bào)告稱中東和非洲地區(qū)總體來(lái)說(shuō)是旅游的最冷門(mén)區(qū)域，突尼斯的杰爾巴、蘇塞以及埃及的沙姆沙伊赫受恐怖襲擊的影響在近些年無(wú)緣榜單，但迪拜仍以1670萬(wàn)到訪游客位居第7。

>May survives confidence vote
英國(guó)首相贏得信任投票
British Prime Minister Theresa May has won a vote of confidence in her leadership of the Conservative Party by 200 to 117 on Wednesday. After securing 63% of the total vote, she is now immune from a leadership challenge for a year. Speaking in Downing Street, she vowed to deliver the Brexit "people voted for" but said she had listened to the concerns of Members of Parliament (MPs) who voted against her. The secret ballot was triggered by 48 of her MPs angry at her Brexit policy, which they say betrays the 2016 referendum result. The prime minister won the confidence vote with a majority of 83, with 63% of Conservative MPs backing her and 37% voting against her. The BBC's political editor Laura Kuenssberg said the level of opposition was "not at all comfortable" for the prime minister and a "real blow" to her authority.
12日，英國(guó)首相特蕾莎?梅以200票對(duì)117票的結(jié)果贏得保守黨黨魁的信任投票。在獲得總票數(shù)的63%后，梅的黨魁位置在未來(lái)一年內(nèi)將不會(huì)再面臨挑戰(zhàn)。梅在唐寧街發(fā)表講話時(shí)誓言將實(shí)現(xiàn)"人民投票支持"的脫歐，但表示自己聽(tīng)取了投票反對(duì)她的國(guó)會(huì)議員的擔(dān)憂。這次不記名投票由梅所在的保守黨的48位議員發(fā)起，他們對(duì)梅的脫歐政策感到憤怒，稱其背離了2016年公投的結(jié)果。梅以83票的差距贏得信任投票，投票支持和反對(duì)梅的保守黨議員比例分別為63%和37%。英國(guó)廣播公司政治編輯勞拉?庫(kù)恩斯伯格稱，這樣的反對(duì)率對(duì)梅來(lái)說(shuō)"一點(diǎn)兒也不輕松"，對(duì)她的威信是"沉重的打擊"。
