'十四五'智能制造發(fā)展規(guī)劃發(fā)布

China will see 70% of its major manufacturing firms basically digitalized and networked by 2025, according to a development plan on smart manufacturing. The plan, issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other departments on Tuesday, also states that all of China's manufacturing firms above a designated size will be digitalized and connected by 2035. China will also build more than 500 industry-leading smart-manufacturing demonstration plants by 2025, according to the plan.

>China leads world in 4 scientific fields
中國四個(gè)領(lǐng)域科技論文被引次數(shù)世界第一

China is leading the world in four scientific fields in terms of the total number of citations generated by the country's international academic papers published over the past decade, according to annual reports published on Monday by the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China.
中國科學(xué)技術(shù)信息研究所12月27日發(fā)布的年度報(bào)告顯示，2011至2021年，中國有四個(gè)領(lǐng)域的國際論文被引次數(shù)排名世界第一位。

這四個(gè)領(lǐng)域是材料、化學(xué)、計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)和工程技術(shù)，其中，計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)為今年新入榜領(lǐng)域。

Last year, China published 1,833 research papers and articles in 15 of the world's top scientific publications, including Nature, Science and Cell. This feat placed China two spots higher on the rankings than in 2019, reaching second place behind the United States.
2020年，我國在《自然》、《科學(xué)》、《細(xì)胞》等15種世界頂尖學(xué)術(shù)期刊上發(fā)表學(xué)術(shù)論文和文章1833篇，排在世界第二位，比2019年上升2位，美國排第一位。

>1,500 languages could be lost
本世紀(jì)末1500種語言或不再使用

By the end of this century, an estimated 1,500 languages will have disappeared forever across the world, according to a new study.
澳大利亞國立大學(xué)的最新研究表明，到本世紀(jì)末，據(jù)估計(jì)全球有1500種語言將不再被使用。研究結(jié)果發(fā)表在《自然生態(tài)與進(jìn)化》雜志上。

Unveiling the findings in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution, researchers warned that of the world's 7,000 recognized languages, around half are endangered. The study was led by the Australian National University.
研究人員警告說，在全世界7000種公認(rèn)的語言中，約有一半目前處于瀕危狀態(tài)。

The study found that greater road density was linked to higher risk of endangerment.
研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，路網(wǎng)密度越大，語言消失的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)就越大。

Greater endangerment was also associated with higher average years of schooling, suggesting that formal education contributes to loss of language diversity.
平均受教育年限更長(zhǎng)也會(huì)使語言消失的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)加大，這表明正規(guī)教育導(dǎo)致了語言多樣性的喪失。

The study found that unless there is intervention, the world could lose at least one language per month.
研究表明，如果不立即干預(yù)，全球每個(gè)月或?qū)⒅辽儆幸环N語言消失。

The authors recommended "urgent investment" in community-based programs like bilingual education programs and language documentation.
研究報(bào)告作者建議"緊急投資"雙語教育項(xiàng)目和語言文獻(xiàn)等社區(qū)項(xiàng)目。
