中央人民政府駐香港特別行政區(qū)維護(hù)國(guó)家安全公署 The Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR)

中央人民政府駐香港特別行政區(qū)維護(hù)國(guó)家安全公署揭牌儀式7月8日在香港舉行，宣告駐香港國(guó)家安全公署正式成立并運(yùn)行。
The Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) was inaugurated on Wednesday morning.

【單詞講解】

英文報(bào)道中的inaugurate通常有三層意思，一表示“就職，舉行就職典禮”，具體的用法是，（就職的）人+ be inaugurated 比如：US President Donald Trump was inaugurated on January 20, 2017.（美國(guó)總統(tǒng)特朗普的就職典禮于2017年1月20日舉行。）“就職典禮”的名詞形式可以直接用inauguration來(lái)表示，后面無(wú)需加ceremony，因?yàn)閕nauguration本身就包含“典禮”這一層意思，比如：presidential inauguration（總統(tǒng)就職典禮）。

二表示“落成，成立”，用法與第一層意思相同，（成立的）機(jī)構(gòu)+ be inaugurated，比如：A new school was inaugurated in the village.（這個(gè)村子里新落成了一所學(xué)校。）

三表示“開(kāi)創(chuàng)，開(kāi)展”，比如：The coronavirus pandemic has inaugurated a time of chaos and change.（新冠病毒大流行開(kāi)創(chuàng)了一個(gè)混亂與變革的時(shí)代。）Pan Am inaugurated the first scheduled international flight.（泛美航空公司開(kāi)通了第一條國(guó)際定期航班線路。）

根據(jù)香港國(guó)安法第四十九條，駐港國(guó)安公署的職責(zé)為：

the office analyzes and assesses developments related to safeguarding national security in the HKSAR, provides opinions and makes proposals on major strategies and important policies

2020世界人工智能大會(huì)云端峰會(huì) the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2020 online summit

7月9日至11日，2020世界人工智能大會(huì)云端峰會(huì)（the World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) 2020 online summit）在上海召開(kāi)。

With the theme of "Intelligent Connectivity, Indivisible Community," the event brings together scientists, entrepreneurs, and officials to discuss the latest trends in the world's AI sector.
2020世界人工智能大會(huì)以“智聯(lián)世界 共同家園”為主題，科學(xué)家、企業(yè)家以及官員們齊聚一起探討世界人工智能領(lǐng)域最新的發(fā)展趨勢(shì)。

【知識(shí)點(diǎn)】

世界人工智能大會(huì)（the World Artificial Intelligence Conference，WAIC）是由國(guó)家發(fā)展改革委、科技部、工業(yè)和信息化部、國(guó)家互聯(lián)網(wǎng)信息辦公室、中國(guó)科學(xué)院、中國(guó)工程院和上海市人民政府共同主辦的大會(huì)，2018年首次舉辦。此前兩屆的主題分別為：人工智能賦能新時(shí)代（Artificial Intelligence Empowers New Era，2018）、智聯(lián)世界無(wú)限可能（Intelligent Connectivity, Infinite Possibilities，2019）。

Apart from an offline opening ceremony held in Shanghai, the meeting was joined virtually by overseas tech gurus like Turing Award recipient Yoshua Bengio and Tesla Inc CEO Elon Musk through video conferencing.

地震 earthquake

7月12日6時(shí)38分，河北省唐山市古冶區(qū)發(fā)生5.1級(jí)地震，河北省人民政府已啟動(dòng)三級(jí)應(yīng)急響應(yīng)。

The 5.1 magnitude quake struck at a depth of 10 kilometers, the Ministry of Emergency Management said. The Guye district is about 170 km southeast of Beijing and around 130 km northeast of Tianjin. No casualties or serious damage were reported as of Sunday night after the quake, Tangshan's publicity department said.
應(yīng)急管理部表示，此次地震震源深度10千米，震中古冶區(qū)位于北京市東南部170公里、天津市西北處約130公里處。唐山市宣傳部門表示，截至7月12日晚，沒(méi)有接到人員傷亡及嚴(yán)重?fù)p失報(bào)告。

【知識(shí)點(diǎn)】

地震的強(qiáng)度（magnitude）一般按照里氏震級(jí)（Richter Scale）劃分，它是將震級(jí)范圍從1到10的一種對(duì)數(shù)標(biāo)度，用以表現(xiàn)地震放出的能量總數(shù)，是根據(jù)美國(guó)地震學(xué)家Charles Francis Richter 命名的。在英文報(bào)道中，“X級(jí)地震”常用X on the Richter Scale、magnitude-X earthquake或者上文中出現(xiàn)的 a X magnitude earthquake/quake表示，比如：The tremor was placed at 5.6 on the Richter scale.（地震的震級(jí)被測(cè)定為里氏5.6級(jí)。）A powerful magnitude-7.6 earthquake struck off the Solomon Islands on Monday.（周一，所羅門群島發(fā)生了里氏7.6級(jí)地震。）

該地震造成河北唐山市中心震感強(qiáng)烈，天津、河北承德震感明顯，北京、河北廊坊、滄州等地有震感（feel the tremor）。

中國(guó)地震臺(tái)網(wǎng)中心副主任、研究員劉杰表示，

The 5.1 magnitude quake on Sunday was an aftershock of the 1976 one, and another quake of more than 5 magnitude was unlikely to occur in the area in the short term.
唐山本次地震屬1976年地震余震，短期內(nèi)老震區(qū)再次發(fā)生5級(jí)以上地震的可能不大。

He said the epicenter of Sunday's quake was 28 km from the epicenter of the 1976 quake, well within the aftershock zone, and was considered a normal fluctuation.
這次5.1級(jí)地震的震中距離唐山1976年主震約28千米，位于其余震區(qū)內(nèi)，是正常的地震起伏活動(dòng)。

The energy accumulation of Tangshan's earthquake in 1976 took thousands of years, so it's a normal phenomenon that the aftershocks of the quake can last for dozens of years. The frequency and magnitude of aftershocks of earthquakes will decrease with time.
唐山1976年地震的能量積聚用了數(shù)千年的時(shí)間，因此其余震持續(xù)數(shù)十年是正常現(xiàn)象。余震的頻率和強(qiáng)度會(huì)隨著時(shí)間衰減。
