外媒报道
The seaweed-based drug, called Oligomannate, can be used for the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer's, according to a statement from China's drug safety agency.
中国药品安全监督管理局发表的一份声明显示，这个被称为甘露特钠胶囊的海藻类药物可以用于治疗轻度至中度的阿尔茨海默症。
The approval is conditional however, meaning that while it can go on sale during additional clinical trials, it will be strictly monitored and could be withdrawn should any safety issues arise.
然而，批准是有条件的，虽然它可以在额外的临床试验期间上市销售，但将受到严格监督，如果出现任何安全问题，可能会被撤回。
In September, the team behind the new drug, led by Geng Meiyu at the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said they were inspired to look into seaweed due to the relatively low incidence of Alzheimer's among people who consume it regularly.
这一新药的研究团队由中国科学院上海药物研究所的耿美玉带领，他们在九月份说受到启发研究海藻是因为经常食用海藻的人中阿尔茨海默症的发病率相对较低。
In a paper in the journal Cell Research, Geng’s team described how a sugar contained within seaweed suppresses certain bacteria contained in the gut which can cause neural degeneration and inflammation of the brain, leading to Alzheimer’s.
耿美玉的团队在《Cell Research》杂志的一篇论文中描述了海藻中的糖如何抑制肠道中某些细菌的，这些细菌会导致神经退化和大脑炎症，从而导致老年痴呆。
This mechanism was confirmed during a clinical trial carried out by Green Valley, a Shanghai-based pharmaceutical company that will be bringing the new drug to market.
这一机制在上海的绿谷制药公司进行的临床试验中得到了证实，该公司将把这种新药推向市场。
希拉里也跑出来骂扎克伯格了
Facebook和扎克伯格如今在美国成了政界公敌，美国选总统的都要出来骂他们。
就连早该淡出视线的希拉里现在也要出来骂两句。
希拉里·克林顿猛烈抨击了Facebook创始人马克·扎克伯格，因该平台对全球的民主产生了破坏性影响。

As the Guardian reports, Clinton did not hold back when she spoke at a screening of Netflix’s The Great Hack, a documentary about the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica scandal.
《卫报》报道希拉里在网飞的关于Facebook和剑桥分析公司丑闻的纪录片《The Great Hack》的活动上毫不隐瞒地做出评论。
There, Clinton told the crowd Zuckerberg “should pay a price” for the harm Facebook is doing to democracy, specifically in regards to Zuckerberg’s choice to allow people to run political ads on Facebook that contain outright lies.
活动上希拉里对观众说扎克伯格应该为Facebook 对民主党做出的伤害“付出代价”，尤其是扎克伯格选择允许人们在Facebook上运行政治广告，其中不乏彻头彻尾的谎言。
Clinton pointed out that by Zuckerberg allowing this, it will have an impact on upcoming elections around the globe, including the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
希拉里指出扎克伯格允许这种行为发生，会对全球即将到来的选举产生影响，包括2020年的美国总统大选。
“When Facebook is the principal news source for more than half of the American people, and the only source of news that most of them pay any attention to, and if it announces that it has no responsibility for the airing of false ads…” Clinton said, “how are you supposed to get accurate information about anything, let alone candidates running for office?”
希拉里说：“Facebook是美国超过半数人的主要新闻来源，也是这些人中的大多数唯一关注的新闻来源。如果Facebook声称对播出虚假广告不负任何责任，那你该如何获取关于一切事情的正确信息呢？更不用说要了解竞选公职的候选人了。”

外媒报道
Kara Fan from San Diego, CA was won the 3M Young Scientist Challenge in St. Paul, Minnesota. Fan came up with a nano particle liquid bandage that could replace the overuse of antibiotics and potentially reduce the development of superbugs.
来自加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥的Kara Fan赢得了明尼苏达州圣保罗市的3M青年科学家挑战赛。Fan发明了纳米颗粒液体绷带，能解决抗生素滥用问题，可能会减缓超级细菌的发展。
“I want to show my invention of the nanosilver liquid bandage to more people. I think it is important for more people to be aware of antibiotic-resistance bacteria crisis and do something about it,” Fan said.
Fan说：“我想向更多的人展示我发明的纳米银粒子液体绷带，我认为能让更多的人了解耐药菌危机并采取行动是很重要的。”
人脸识别第一案立案
杭州野生动物园因强制游客进行面部识别扫描而引发强烈抗议，一位法学教授将其告上法庭。

Professor Guo Bing is taking action against Hangzhou safari park, after it replaced its existing fingerprinting system with the new technology.
在杭州野生动物园用新技术取代了现有的指纹识别系统后，郭兵教授起诉了该动物园。
“I [filed this case] because I feel that not only my [privacy] rights are being infringed upon but those of many others,” Guo, from Zhejiang University of Sci-Tech, said according to an audio recording of an interview posted by state-run Beijing News.
在官方媒体《新京报》发布的一段采访录音中，浙江科技学院的郭兵说：“我‘起诉’是因为我感觉不只是我，很多人的‘隐私权’都受到了侵犯。”
Guo is attempting to force the park to return the money he paid for an annual pass and highlight its misuse of data gathered by the software.
郭兵正试图强迫动物园退还他的年卡钱，并引起大家对其滥用软件收集数据的重视。
A court in Fuyang has accepted his case. He questioned why a wildlife park would need to collect such information and had doubts over data security and who would be responsible if any were leaked.
