鄉(xiāng)村旅游線(xiàn)路 rural tourism routes

在中秋、國(guó)慶長(zhǎng)假即將到來(lái)之際，文化和旅游部近日集中向社會(huì)推出300條全國(guó)鄉(xiāng)村旅游精品線(xiàn)路。

The rural tourism routes cover all provincial-level regions in the country, featuring road trips, sightseeing and homestays, and are meant to tap into local cultural and agricultural resources and boost economic growth.
此次推出的鄉(xiāng)村旅游精品線(xiàn)路覆蓋全國(guó)所有省份，包括自駕游、觀(guān)光游以及民宿等線(xiàn)路，旨在挖掘鄉(xiāng)村優(yōu)秀傳統(tǒng)文化和農(nóng)業(yè)資源，拉動(dòng)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展。

據(jù)文化和旅游部資源開(kāi)發(fā)司相關(guān)負(fù)責(zé)人介紹，受疫情影響，游客越來(lái)越傾向于慢節(jié)奏、短周期、近距離的出游方式，對(duì)安全、健康、舒適等旅游體驗(yàn)品質(zhì)更加看重（place more emphasis on safety, health and comfort perception）。

【單詞講解】

英文報(bào)道中經(jīng)常用tourist、holidaymaker 或 visitor來(lái)指代“游客”，那么這三個(gè)詞有什么區(qū)別呢？

Tourist的意思是 “游客、旅游者”。與holidaymaker相比，tourist所涵蓋的 “游客” 范圍更廣泛，指的是 “以休閑為目的，去一個(gè)地方旅行觀(guān)光的人”。這類(lèi)tourist通常會(huì)去參觀(guān)多個(gè)景點(diǎn)，而且整個(gè)旅程一般都會(huì)超過(guò)一天的時(shí)間。常見(jiàn)搭配有：tourist attractions 或者 tourist spots 旅游景點(diǎn)； the tourist season 旅游季，也就是某地的接待游客較多的時(shí)期。

名詞holidaymaker由假期holiday和做某事的人maker組合而成，意思是 “度假者”。Holidaymaker是tourist的一種，它特指那些 “離開(kāi)居住地去旅游度假的人”。Holidaymaker的度假往往是以放松心情、享受當(dāng)?shù)厝宋娘L(fēng)光為目的的。

Visitor泛指 “參觀(guān)一個(gè)地方的人”。它和tourist以及holidaymaker不同的是：一個(gè)visitor拜訪(fǎng)、參觀(guān)某處的目的不一定只是休閑度假；而且，所參觀(guān)訪(fǎng)問(wèn)的地點(diǎn)既可能位于他居住的地區(qū)，也可能在他居住的地區(qū)以外。除了指 “游客” 以外，visitor也可以指 “到別人家拜訪(fǎng)的人”、“網(wǎng)站的訪(fǎng)客” 等。

文化和旅游部統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)顯示，

Rural tourism in the country experienced a strong recovery in the second quarter of this year, with the total revenue increasing by nearly 149 percent from 69.5 billion yuan (about $10.3 billion) in the first quarter, and continued to pick up steam.
今年一季度，全國(guó)鄉(xiāng)村旅游總收入695億元，第二季度形勢(shì)大為好轉(zhuǎn)，環(huán)比增長(zhǎng)達(dá)149%，而且恢復(fù)形勢(shì)持續(xù)強(qiáng)勁。

假期出行做好個(gè)人防護(hù)

文化和旅游部近日發(fā)布公告，提醒廣大游客合理規(guī)劃出游線(xiàn)路，錯(cuò)峰出行，做好個(gè)人防護(hù)。

Tourists should learn about the epidemic prevention measures required by tourist attractions in advance, and make appointments before their visits, the ministry said.
文化和旅游部提示，游客應(yīng)提前了解和查詢(xún)旅游景區(qū)疫情防控措施，做到“無(wú)預(yù)約、不出游”。

The notice also asked tourists to maintain a safe distance while taking public transportation and eating at restaurants.
在乘坐公共交通工具、就餐時(shí)保持安全間距。

If tourists have symptoms, including fever, coughing and tiredness, they should report their conditions as soon as possible and go to the nearby medical institutions for treatment, the notice said.
出現(xiàn)發(fā)熱、干咳、乏力等癥狀應(yīng)及時(shí)報(bào)告，并就近到醫(yī)療機(jī)構(gòu)就診。

建檔立卡貧困家庭輟學(xué)學(xué)生 dropouts from registered impoverished families

在9月23日召開(kāi)的國(guó)務(wù)院新聞辦新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上，教育部副部長(zhǎng)鄭富芝介紹了輟學(xué)學(xué)生減少情況和義務(wù)教育入學(xué)率情況。

The total number of dropouts in China's nine-year compulsory education decreased from 600,000 last year to 2,419 as of Sept 15, and the number of dropouts from registered impoverished families has been reduced to zero, down from 200,000 last year, Zheng said.
鄭富芝介紹，截至今年9月15日，全國(guó)義務(wù)教育階段輟學(xué)學(xué)生由60萬(wàn)人降至2419人，其中建檔立卡貧困家庭輟學(xué)學(xué)生由20萬(wàn)人降至0人。

【單詞講解】

這里的dropout是名詞，表示“輟學(xué)學(xué)生”，其動(dòng)詞形式為drop out，常見(jiàn)的搭配為drop out of school。Drop常見(jiàn)的短語(yǔ)搭配還有drop in/by（順便拜訪(fǎng)），比如：Drop in/by any time—we're always home.（隨時(shí)來(lái)都可以，我們都在家。）如果要表明順便拜訪(fǎng)的對(duì)象則多用drop in on someone表示，比如：I hate to drop in on people when they aren't expecting me.（我不喜歡貿(mào)然造訪(fǎng)別人家。）

鄭富芝介紹，義務(wù)教育普及的目標(biāo)是貧困家庭適齡兒童少年不失學(xué)輟學(xué)，保障有學(xué)上、上得起學(xué)（make sure that impoverished students have access to compulsory education）；對(duì)不能到校的殘疾學(xué)生（students with disability），采取送教上門(mén)的方式（bring education to their doorstep），幫助其接受義務(wù)教育。

China has exempted tuition and textbook fees for all primary and junior high school students and offered financial aid to impoverished students, he said.
我國(guó)對(duì)所有義務(wù)教育階段的學(xué)生免收學(xué)費(fèi)和書(shū)本費(fèi)，并對(duì)貧困家庭的學(xué)生發(fā)放補(bǔ)助。

The country offered 212.6 billion yuan ($31.3 billion) in financial aid to 106 million students in all levels of education last year, an increase of almost 90 percent from 2012, according to the ministry.
2019年受資助學(xué)生1.06億人次，金額達(dá)2126億元，比2012年增長(zhǎng)了近90%。

如何保障勸返回來(lái)的學(xué)生不再輟學(xué)？

Special arrangements have been made for dropouts who have returned to schools to prevent them from dropping out again, such as offering psychological counseling, grouping them into separate classes and providing vocational training for older students, Zheng said.
為了避免勸返回來(lái)的學(xué)生再輟學(xué)，教育部門(mén)采取了一些特殊的舉措，比如，安排心理咨詢(xún)，單獨(dú)編班，對(duì)年齡較大的學(xué)生提供職業(yè)培訓(xùn)等。

中國(guó)人民志愿軍烈士遺骸 remains of Chinese People's Volunteers soldiers

【知識(shí)點(diǎn)】

70年前，中國(guó)人民志愿軍（Chinese People's Volunteers）跨過(guò)鴨綠江，奔赴戰(zhàn)火彌天的前線(xiàn)，踏上抗美援朝、保家衛(wèi)國(guó)的戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)。

The Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV) fought alongside the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) army in the Korean War against the South Korean army and the United States-led UN forces between 1950 and 1953.
1950年至1953年，中國(guó)人民志愿軍支援朝鮮戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，同朝鮮人民軍一道對(duì)抗韓國(guó)國(guó)軍和以美國(guó)為首的“聯(lián)合國(guó)軍”。

A total of 2.9 million CPV soldiers entered the battlefield, and 197,653 of them sacrificed their lives in the war.

【單詞講解】

這里的rush是名詞，表示同一時(shí)間段內(nèi)很多人同時(shí)做一件事，也就是我們所說(shuō)的“高峰期”，比如，Spring Festival travel rush（春運(yùn)）、Christmas shopping rush（圣誕購(gòu)物季）等。此外，這個(gè)詞也可以用作動(dòng)詞，表示“快速做某事、突襲”等，比如：I've been rushing (about/around) all day trying to get everything done.（我忙了一整天，想把所有事情都辦完。）We shouldn't rush to blame them.（我們不應(yīng)該急著責(zé)怪他們。）

The company noted the peak of train transport is expected to be registered on Oct 1 -- the first day of the National Day holiday, with 13 million passenger trips. The figure will hit a record high for daily railway passenger trips after the outbreak.
國(guó)鐵集團(tuán)表示，10月1日為客流最高峰，預(yù)計(jì)發(fā)送旅客1300萬(wàn)人次，將創(chuàng)新冠肺炎疫情發(fā)生以來(lái)鐵路日均客流新高。

互聯(lián)網(wǎng)普及率 internet penetration rate

9月29日，中國(guó)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)絡(luò)信息中心（CNNIC）發(fā)布第46次《中國(guó)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)絡(luò)發(fā)展?fàn)顩r統(tǒng)計(jì)報(bào)告》。

The number of internet users in China had reached 940 million as of June, accounting for one-fifth of the world's total, according to the report. The internet penetration rate in China reached 67 percent, about 5 percentage points higher than the global average, the report said.

【單詞講解】

這里的penetration rate多用于商業(yè)領(lǐng)域，指“滲透率”，常用的專(zhuān)業(yè)表達(dá)是market penetration rate（市場(chǎng)滲透率），指某個(gè)商品或品牌在整個(gè)市場(chǎng)中的普及程度以及銷(xiāo)售情況。那么internet penetration rate指的就是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)在全國(guó)的普及及使用程度。類(lèi)似的表達(dá)還有broadband/mobile-phone penetration（寬帶/手機(jī)普及程度）。

城鄉(xiāng)數(shù)字鴻溝顯著縮小

Residents in 98 percent of China's poor villages had access to the internet through fiber-optic cables,said the report, noting that the urban-rural digital gap had been significantly narrowed.
數(shù)據(jù)顯示，全國(guó)貧困村通光纖比例達(dá)到98%,城鄉(xiāng)數(shù)字鴻溝顯著縮小。

【單詞講解】

這里的digital gap就是“數(shù)字鴻溝”，又稱(chēng)為“信息鴻溝”，也可以用digital divide來(lái)表示，是指在全球數(shù)字化進(jìn)程中，不同國(guó)家、地區(qū)、行業(yè)、企業(yè)、社區(qū)之間，由于對(duì)信息、網(wǎng)絡(luò)技術(shù)的擁有程度、應(yīng)用程度以及創(chuàng)新能力的差別而造成的信息落差及貧富進(jìn)一步兩極分化的趨勢(shì)。消除數(shù)字鴻溝有助于縮小rural-urban divide（城鄉(xiāng)差距）。
