英多數(shù)頂級大學(xué)今秋繼續(xù)網(wǎng)課

Many of the top universities in Britain have refused to bring back full face-to-face teaching in the autumn, despite government advice that they can lift all COVID-19 restrictions.
雖然英國政府建議大學(xué)可以解除所有新冠防控舉措，但大部分英國頂尖大學(xué)拒絕在今秋全面恢復(fù)線下授課。

According to The Sunday Times, 20 of the leading 24 Russell Group universities said a proportion of undergraduate teaching will continue to be held online.
據(jù)《泰晤士報星期日版》報道，在英國羅素大學(xué)集團(tuán)的24家成員中，已有20個大學(xué)表示，一定比例的本科生課程將繼續(xù)實(shí)行線上授課模式。

Meanwhile, two-thirds of the 65 universities polled by the Times Higher Education magazine confirmed that most lectures would remain online for the coming academic year, but that they planned as much in-person teaching as possible.
與此同時，《泰晤士高等教育》雜志對65所英國大學(xué)進(jìn)行的調(diào)查顯示，其中三分之二的大學(xué)證實(shí)，下個學(xué)年將盡可能地增加線下授課，但多數(shù)課程仍將以網(wǎng)課形式授課。

They said the decisions were driven by the risk of coronavirus spreading in large lecture classrooms, as well as the educational benefits of blended learning.
校方稱作出這一決定是因?yàn)樵诖蠼淌依锸谡n會增加新冠傳播的風(fēng)險，而且線上線下混合授課模式在教學(xué)上有它的好處。

The decision has dismayed college students who coped with severe disruption last year.
但去年因疫情防控學(xué)業(yè)嚴(yán)重受阻的大學(xué)生們對這一決定表示反對。

Students in Manchester, Leeds and Liverpool have launched petitions calling for a full return to "normality in terms of teaching" and demanding fee refunds.
曼徹斯特大學(xué)、利茲大學(xué)和利物浦大學(xué)的學(xué)生已經(jīng)發(fā)起請?jiān)?，要求校方全面恢?fù)正常授課并退還部分學(xué)費(fèi)。

Claire Marchant, chief executive of the universities admissions service Ucas, said that online teaching might mean that universities could enroll more students.
英國大學(xué)招生服務(wù)中心UCAS首席執(zhí)行官克萊爾?馬尚特表示，網(wǎng)課可能意味著大學(xué)可以招錄更多學(xué)生。

>Sunken city in deepest pool
迪拜建全球最深泳池可潛水

Dubai, home of the tallest skyscraper, now hosts the world's deepest swimming pool too.
擁有世界最高摩天大廈的迪拜又建成了全球最深的游泳池。

Deep Dive Dubai plunges over 60m, beating former Guinness World Record holder Deep Spot in Poland by 15m.
"深潛迪拜"深達(dá)60米，擊敗了原吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄保持者——波蘭的Deepspot泳池，后者的深度為45米。

Below its surface lies an entire underwater world. Designed to resemble a sunken city, explorers can suit up in diving gear to play underwater pool, foosball or chess, or they can explore the depths of the expansive, multi-themed facility.
"深潛迪拜"泳池里有一個"水下世界"，探險者可穿上潛水裝備進(jìn)入到這座"沉沒之城"，玩桌上足球和國際象棋，也可以在各式各樣不同主題的設(shè)施里探險。

Deep Dive Dubai is filled with 14 million liters of water - an amount equivalent to nearly six Olympic-sized swimming pools. "
深潛迪拜"水量達(dá)1400萬升，相當(dāng)于6個奧運(yùn)會泳池的注水量。

The pool is now available by invitation only and is expected to open to the public later this month.
該泳池目前只允許受邀嘉賓入場，預(yù)計(jì)本月末將向公眾開放。

>Photos in iCloud will be checked
蘋果將檢查iCloud照片

Apple Inc on Monday said that iPhone users' entire photo libraries will be checked for known child abuse images if they are stored in the online iCloud service.
蘋果公司8月9日表示，如果iPhone用戶將照片存儲到iCloud服務(wù)，蘋果會檢查照片中是否存在已發(fā)現(xiàn)的虐童內(nèi)容。

The disclosure came in a series of media briefings in which Apple is seeking to dispel alarm over its announcement last week that it will scan users' phones, tablets and computers for millions of illegal pictures.
上周，蘋果宣布將掃描用戶手機(jī)、平板電腦和電腦，與數(shù)百萬張非法圖片進(jìn)行比對，引發(fā)廣泛擔(dān)憂。此次蘋果在一系列媒體發(fā)布會上披露檢查方式，是為了消除人們此前的擔(dān)憂。

While Google, Microsoft and other technology platforms check uploaded photos or emailed attachments against a database of identifiers provided by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and other clearing houses, security experts faulted Apple's plan as more invasive.
雖然谷歌、微軟和其他技術(shù)平臺會根據(jù)全美失蹤和受剝削兒童中心和其他信息交換中心提供的標(biāo)識符數(shù)據(jù)庫與上傳的照片或電子郵件附件進(jìn)行比對，但安全專家認(rèn)為蘋果的計(jì)劃更具侵入性。

>Cats see their humans as parents
貓咪可能比你想象的更愛你

Cats have a rotten reputation as a cold and distant domesticated animal - at least compared to their main competitor, known as "man's best friend (dogs) ".
作為一種冷漠而疏離的家養(yǎng)動物，貓咪的名聲并不太好，至少與它們的主要競爭對手，"人類最好的朋友(狗狗)"相比是這樣。

But Oregon State University researchers concluded that cats really do actually love their humans - or at the very least, see them as parents or caregivers - after conducting a study on kittens, modeled after previous research on dogs and babies.
俄勒岡州立大學(xué)的研究人員模仿此前對狗狗和嬰兒的研究，對小貓咪也進(jìn)行了一番研究，并得出結(jié)論：貓咪真的真的很愛主人——或者至少是把主人看做父母或"照顧者"。

64% of the kittens demonstrated a "secure attachment style" to their caregiver, meaning the cat seemed distraught when they left the room but "displayed a reduced stress response" upon their return.
64%的小貓對他們的看護(hù)人表現(xiàn)出"安全依戀"，這意味著當(dāng)看護(hù)人離開房間時，小貓看起來心煩意亂，但當(dāng)看護(hù)人回來時，小貓的"應(yīng)激反應(yīng)表現(xiàn)得到緩解"。
