央行對'炒鞋'亂相亮黃牌

The People's Bank of China, the central bank, has warned that certain practices in sales of sneakers could lead to a bubble and even financial risks.中國人民銀行即央行近日發(fā)出警告稱，球鞋銷售中的某些操作可能導(dǎo)致泡沫甚至金融風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

專家稱，倒賣Air Jordan、Yeezy等國際品牌制作的限量版跑步鞋、籃球鞋的行為正引起監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)的注意，這可能導(dǎo)致價(jià)格上漲、投機(jī)交易和金融詐騙。

The Shanghai Head Office of the People's Bank of China said in a financial briefing that it had found alarming signs of possible financial fraud in the sneaker trade, including illegal fundraising, illegal use of public deposits and illegal pyramid schemes.
中國人民銀行上海分行近日在金融簡報(bào)中表示，發(fā)現(xiàn)"炒鞋"行業(yè)背后可能存在非法集資、非法吸收公眾存款、非法傳銷等令人擔(dān)憂的金融違法跡象。

There are more than 10 platforms that allow so-called sneaker-heads to trade shoes as if the products were equities traded on the stock market. Websites and apps such as Poizon, Nice and Drop store have a large amount of trading volumes and notable price fluctuations.
目前國內(nèi)已有10余個(gè)"炒鞋"平臺(tái)，所謂的"球鞋愛好者"可以在這些平臺(tái)上交易鞋子，如同在股票市場上炒股一樣。毒、Nice、Drop store等網(wǎng)站和應(yīng)用程序呈現(xiàn)出交易量大、價(jià)格波動(dòng)劇烈等特征。

>Solution to car blind spots
美少女破汽車盲區(qū)難題

A 14-year-old Pennsylvania girl has come up with an innovative way to get rid of blind spots before she can even legally get behind the wheel.
美國賓夕法尼亞州一名14歲少女想出了一個(gè)消除車內(nèi)視線盲區(qū)的新穎方法，而她本人還未到法定駕車年齡。

Alaina Gassler presented her project - called "Improving Automobile Safety by Removing Blind Spots" - during this year's Society for Science and Public's Broadcom MASTERS (Math, Applied Science, Technology and Engineering for Rising Stars).
在今年的美國科學(xué)與公眾協(xié)會(huì)的博通MASTERS(新星數(shù)學(xué)、應(yīng)用科學(xué)、技術(shù)與工程)競賽上，阿萊娜?加斯勒展示了自己的項(xiàng)目——"消除盲區(qū)提高汽車安全性"。

"I did that by having a camera behind the A pillar of the car and the camera sent video to a projector that projected the image onto the pillar," Gassler explained. "Making it invisible and making the driver be able to see behind it."
加斯勒解釋道:"我的辦法就是在汽車的A柱上安裝一個(gè)攝像頭(監(jiān)控外面的場景)，同時(shí)攝像頭能將視頻發(fā)送到車內(nèi)的投影儀上，投影儀就能將圖像投射到柱子上。這樣就可以讓A柱'消失不見'，不再阻擋司機(jī)的視線。"

Gassler said that the aim of her project was to "get rid of it (blind spots) without getting rid of it." Gassler won the Samueli Foundation Prize for her creativity - and a hefty $25,000 check.
加斯勒還稱其項(xiàng)目的目標(biāo)是"在不消除盲區(qū)的情況下實(shí)現(xiàn)消除盲區(qū)的效果"。加斯勒憑借這一創(chuàng)意贏得了塞繆爾利基金會(huì)獎(jiǎng)以及2.5萬美元(約合人民幣17.5萬元)的大額支票。
