After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.
在经过数月的反思以及内部讨论后,我们决定今年做出一个改变,在这一制度之下开创一个具有进步意义的新角色。
We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the royal family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty the Queen.
我们打算退出王室“高级”成员,用工作来获得经济独立,与此同时继续全力支持女王陛下。
It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment.
正是各位的支持,尤其是在过去的几年中,让我们准备好做出这一调整。
We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to the Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages.
我们如今计划将时间均匀分配在英国和北美两地,继续履行我们向女王、英联邦以及我们所资助机构的责任。
This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.
这种地域上的平衡能让我们抱着对王室传统的感恩养育我们的儿子,同时为我们的家庭提供关注人生新篇章的空间,包括成立新的慈善机构。
We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.
我们期待着在适当的时候分享这激动人心的下一步的种种细节,我们将继续与女王陛下、威尔士王子、剑桥公爵以及有关各方合作。在此之前,请容许我们向各位一如既往的支持表达最深的感谢。
SpaceX将成为全球最大的卫星公司
SpaceX公司发射的火箭已把该公司的下一批互联网卫星送入太空。
这次一举发射了60颗,把马斯克的太空项目又往前推了一大截。
外媒报道
The company conducted a static-fire test on Saturday (Jan. 4) of a Falcon 9 rocket at Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, the company said on Twitter. That rocket is expected to send 60 Starlink internet satellites into space no earlier than Monday (Jan. 6), marking the first launch of the year from Florida’ Space Coast.
该公司在推特上说,周六(1月4日)进行了“猎鹰”9火箭静态点火测试,测试地点位于佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角空军基地40号航天发射复合体。这枚火箭预计最早会在周一(1月6日)将60颗互联网卫星送入太空,在佛罗里达州的太空海岸进行本年度第一次发射。
The Falcon 9 rocket out of its hangar on Friday (Jan. 3) and went vertical on the launch pad in advance of the planned test-firing of its nine first stage engines on Saturday. The two-stage rocket is scheduled for liftoff Monday at 9:19 p.m. EST (0219 GMT Tuesday).
“猎鹰”9火箭周五(1月3日)离开飞机库,在周六九个一级引擎点火测试的计划时间之前提前竖立在发射台上。二级火箭预计于美国东部时间星期一晚上9:19(格林尼治标准时间周二2:19)升空。
But before it can launch, SpaceX put the vehicle through a routine launch rehearsal. The brief test, known as a static-fire test, is a standard part of prelaunch procedures and one of the last major milestones before liftoff. During the test, teams loaded the Falcon’s super-chilled propellants - kerosene and liquid oxygen - into the rocket before igniting the first stage’s nine Merlin 1D engines.
但发射之前,SpaceX公司让飞行器进行例行发射演习。这个简单的测试被称为静态点火测试,是发射前的标准程序,也是升空前最后阶段的关键部分。团队在测试时会将“猎鹰”的超冷推进剂——煤油和液态氧注入火箭,然后点燃第一级的九个“梅林1D”发动机。
印度的公民权问题继续升级
11月份学生因为大学学费上调抗议之后,警察就和尼赫鲁大学的学生发生了街头冲突。
从那以后由左翼派别掌控的尼赫鲁大学的学生组织就进行示威,要求取消学费上调,同时他们面临着妨碍政府官员的指控。
外媒报道
Amid simmering tensions over the government’s citizenship laws and student fee increases, videos on social media appeared to show the attackers roaming Jawaharlal Nehru university (JNU) in the capital on Sunday and beating students with sticks, leaving 23 students injured.
印度政府的公民法和学费增加导致紧张局势升级,在此期间社交媒体上曝出的视频显示,周日袭击者在位于首都的尼赫鲁大学横行,用棍子殴打学生,致23名学生受伤。
Police said the clashes were between rival student groups but opposition politicians blamed the trouble on a student organisation linked to the prime minister, Narendra Modi.
警方说是敌对的学生团体间爆发的冲突,但反对党的政治家认为责任在于一个与首相纳伦德拉·莫迪有关的学生组织。
“Two groups clashed with each other and some students are injured,” a senior Delhi police officer told journalists. “The university administration has requested the police to enter (the campus),” the officer said, adding, “Things are under control right now.”
一名德里高级警官告诉记者:“两伙学生互殴,一些学生受伤了。校方已要求警方进入(校园),现在事态已经得到了控制。”
抖音海外版第四季度利润据说超300%
新发布的第三方数据显示抖音海外版有理由开心了。
这款短视频应用的应用内购买收入同比增长310%,该数据来自Apptopia,这家初创公司专门跟踪移动应用的收入和使用情况。
外媒报道
TikTok’s revenue gains are impressive in more than percentage terms. The popular social application’s in-app revenue is now at a material scale - topping $50 million according to a chart published by Apptopia’s Adam Blacker. And while the company’s year-over-year growth is rapid, its sequential gain from a Q3 in-app top-line figure of around $20 million may be even more eye-popping.
抖音的收益增幅超过了百分之百,令人惊讶。这款流行的社交应用程序的应用内收益现在是实实在在的,Apptopia的亚当·布莱克发布的图表显示其收入已超5000万美元。该公司的年增长很快,但从第三季度应用内营收(约2000万美元)中获得的连续收益可能更令人瞠目结舌。
At $50 million a quarter, TikTok could generate hundreds of millions in yearly revenue - enough to go public on its own. And likely enough to provide material assistance to its parent company, ByteDance.
抖音一个季度收入5千万美元,年收入可达上亿美元,足够靠自己的实力上市了,也足以为其母公司——字节跳动提供物质援助。
ByteDance, a China-based technology company worth well north of $70 billion, is known for its Toutiao social media service, as well as TikTok. TikTok was formed out of the fusion of Musical.ly, which ByteDance bought in late 2017, and and its own application Douyin. The app is an unquestionable breakout success around the world.
中国的科技公司字节跳动价值超过700亿美元,其著名应用有社交媒体服务“今日头条”和抖音海外版。抖音海外版的前身是Musical.ly,字节跳动在2017年末收购了这一应用,发展成了今天的抖音海外版。这款应用程序毫无疑问在全球取得了突破性的成功。
