末日地堡

Doomsday Bunker

擔心好萊塢災難大片《2012》的場景會噩夢成真嗎?別怕，美國一名實業家正在打造一種“末日地堡”。它位于地下約9米深處，號稱可抵擋里氏10級強烈地震和500小時的洪水以及核生化襲擊，即使屋外攝氏677度的烈火持續燃燒10天10夜，只要居住其間，也可安然無恙。雖然這樣一座“末日地堡”入住一年的價格高達5萬美元，可是目前已有上千名富人預訂，看來《2012》演得真是深入人心啊。

4G問世

4G Comes out

在近日舉行的2010無線通信應用(國際)研討會上，中國信息化推進聯盟理事長鄧壽鵬表示，4G標準將在今年10月份在北京會議上確定，他個人看好我國自主知識產權的TD-LTE-Advanced技術標準，他認為TD-LTE有望在兩個候選的4G標準技術中勝出。4G比3G速度能提升10倍以上。日前，由中國移動承建的全球首個TD-LTE(4G)演示網絡4月15日在上海開通。年底之前，中國將選擇三個城市進行TD-LTE試點，目前暫定為青島、廈門和珠海。

At the 2010 Wireless Communication Application (International) Symposium held recently， Deng Shoupeng， chairman of China Federation of IT Promotion， said that 4G standard will be determined at a meeting to be held in Beijing in October， 2010. He is personally optimistic about the TD-LTE-Advanced technical standard of China’s independent intellectual property rights. He thought that TD-LTE is expected to win out over the two other candidates for the 4G standard technologies. The speed of 4G is 10 times faster than that of 3G. At present， the world’s first TD-LTE (4G) demonstration network built by China Mobile will be opened in Shanghai on April 15. By the end of 2010， China will choose three pilot cities for TD-LTE， which are currently planned to be Qingdao， Xiamen and Zhuhai.

偉大母愛

Great Mother Love

日前，英國一名叫懷特的身高只有一米的33歲婦女，冒著生命危險成功產子。此前醫生曾警告她，懷孕生子可能會將她置于死地，原因是她的身軀太小，可能無法在妊娠期間為胎兒提供足夠的生長空間。懷特是一位侏儒癥患者，她已經成為英國迄今為止身材最矮的母親。當她用嬰兒車推著女兒芙瑞雅逛街時，行人總會好奇地看著她。這對母女總是被當做一個女童照顧一個嬰兒，從懷特身上我們看到了讓人流淚的母性的偉大光輝。

諾亞方舟

Noah's Ark

日前來自中國香港和土耳其的探險隊員宣布，他們在土耳其東部的亞拉拉特山附近找著了傳說中的諾亞方舟殘骸。經碳元素測試發現這些殘骸可追溯到4800年前，正是《創世紀》中所記載的諾亞方舟存在的時期。為了真實記錄尋找諾亞方舟的過程，探險隊還帶上了專業的攝像器材。探險隊負責人表示:“雖然我們不能百分之百確定這就是諾亞方舟，但其真實性還是可以達到99.9%。”

Members of an expedition from Hong Kong， China and Turkey have just announced that they found the wreckage of the legendary Noah’s Ark near Ararat Mountain in eastern Turkey. The carbon test shows that the wreckage can be traced back to 4，800 years ago when the Noah’s Ark recorded in Genesis existed. In order to have a true record of the process of searching for Noah’s Ark， the expedition team also took professional camera equipment with them. The expedition member said that although they are not absolutely sure whether it is Noah’s Ark， the authenticity can still reach 99.9%. There are many doubts as well. The well-known British archaeologist Mike Peter said that the Sino-Turkey expedition team hadn’t actually provided any persuasive evidence. “If the flood really happened 4，800 years ago， there should be geological traces because the large wheel was lifted to the top of the mountain. However， there was no trace. ” said Peter.
