  • 途牛新疆产品负责人黄明虎在接受《中国日报》记者采访时表示，阿勒泰的最佳旅游季节一般是8到10月，今年受电视剧热播效应影响，热度会提前到6月。

He said that Altay enjoys great advantages in developing tourism, including its breathtaking grassland and lake views, and original and well-preserved villages. The place is also a popular skiing destination in winter.

  • 他说，阿勒泰在发展旅游业方面具有很大的优势，包括令人惊叹的草原和湖泊景观，以及保存完好的原始村落。这里还是冬季滑雪胜地。

Wei Changren, founder of btiii.com, a tourism-related financial news portal, said that Altay has not become famous overnight, but has long been a destination well-known for its natural beauty. However, it hasn’t been very popular because of long travel times and higher costs of accommodation.

  • （与旅游相关的）财经新闻门户网站劲旅网 (btiii.com)创始人魏长仁说，阿勒泰并非一夜成名，而是早以自然美景闻名于世。然而，由于路途遥远、住宿费用高等原因，阿勒泰一直没有成为网红打卡区。

“It’s not that convenient to reach the place, as many big cities don’t have direct flights to Altay. Travelers may have to take buses or cars for hours after their flight,” he said.

  • 直达的 direct
  • "由于许多大城市都没有直达阿勒泰的航班，因此前往阿勒泰并不方便。游客下飞机后还要辗转数小时大巴或者包车才能抵达目的地，"他说。

Though Altay still lacks the capability to receive large numbers of travelers, Wei believes that the development of its tourism sector enjoys great prospects.

“Altay has different charms in summer and winter, and these distinct seasonal views are attractive to travelers. From my perspective, authorities in Altay can take the hit show as an opportunity and continue developing good tourism and cultural resources to attract travelers. The local tourism infrastructure can also be improved to enhance visitors’ experiences,” he added.

  • take…as 认为；把…当作

It’s not the first time in recent years that a hit show has helped turn its location into a popular tourism destination. In January 2023, the TV drama Meet Yourself, starring Liu Yifei and Li Xian, made Dali in the southwestern province of Yunnan a trendy tourism destination.

  • star v. [I] ~ (with/opposite sb) (in sth) to have one of the main parts in a film/movie, play, etc. 主演；担任主角 [注意这里的用法]
  • 这并非是热播剧取景地首次爆火出圈，2023年由刘亦菲和李现主演的电视剧《去有风的地方》带动西南部的云南大理成为旅游热门目的地。

Xiao Peng, a researcher from travel portal Qunar, said that it’s common to see a TV drama boosting its location’s potential as a tourist destination in recent years. Citing To the Wonder as an example, he said that the local authorities or tourism companies can optimize tour products combining natural views and cultural elements in Altay to improve people’s travel experiences.

  • 提升潜力 boost one’s potential
  • 以…为例 cite … as an example
  • optimize v. ~ sth to make sth as good as it can be; to use sth in the best possible way 使最优化；充分利用
  • 来自旅游网站去哪儿网的研究员肖鹏表示，近年来热播电视剧带热地方旅游的现象时有发生。他以电视剧《我的阿勒泰》为例，指出当地政府或旅游公司可以结合阿勒泰的自然风光和文化元素优化旅游产品，提升游客的体验深度。

I think that’s what girls have to remember. They have special powers.

“I was born as a mountain, not a stream. I aspire to gaze beyond the mediocrity of ravines from mountain peaks.” This is the motto of Huaping High School for girls in Lijiang, Yunnan province, offering free education to those from impoverished families.

伊朗官媒公布事故原因：“技术故障”

2024-05-21 17:30

The helicopter crashed due to a “technical failure,” the IRNA state news agency said in an English-language article paying tribute to Raisi（莱西总统）. It appeared to be the first time the cause of the crash was indicated, according to New York Times.

  • technical failure 技术故障
  • tribute n. [U, C] ~ (to sb) an act, a statement or a gift that is intended to show your respect or admiration, especially for a dead person （尤指对死者的）致敬，颂辞；悼念；致哀；吊唁礼物
  • pay tribute to sb. 对…表示悼念、致敬
  • 伊朗官方媒体伊斯兰共和国通讯社（IRNA，伊通社）在一篇悼念莱西总统的英文报道中称，直升机坠毁的原因是 “技术故障”。（美国）《纽约时报》称，这似乎是（伊朗媒体方面）首次指出事故原因。

Ayatollah Ebrahim Raisi was the eighth president of Iran who was elected to run the country in the 13th presidential election in 2021. Seyed Ebrahim Raisi on Sunday (May 19, 2024) was martyred in a plane crash upon return from Khoda’afarin Dam and on their way to Tabriz Oil Refinery in Varzghan District of East Azarbaijan Province.

  • 管理国家 run a country
  • martyr v. [usually passive] ~ sb to kill sb because of their religious or political beliefs （因宗教或政治信仰）使殉难，处死
  • dam n. 水坝
  • refinery n. pl. re·fineries a factory where a substance such as oil is refined (= made pure) 精炼厂；提炼厂；精制厂
  • 莱希2021年在伊朗第13届大选中当选，成为该国第八任总统。周日(2024年5月19日)莱希在从霍达阿法林大坝返回东阿塞拜疆省 Varzghan 地区大不里士炼油厂的途中遭遇飞机失事，不幸殉难。

A helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi made a “hard landing” on Sunday as it was crossing a mountainous area through a heavy fog. The president and his entourage were flying back from a visit to a border area in the northwestern province of East Azarbaijan. Before the crash, Raisi had attended a ceremony to open a joint dam project on Iran’s northwestern border.

  • 山区 mountainous area
  • 事故发生前，莱西访问伊朗阿塞拜疆边境，出席了一个大坝落成典礼。总统及其随行人员在访问过后乘飞机返回。周日，伊朗总统莱西所乘坐的直升机在浓雾中穿越山区时发生硬着陆。

Pirhossein Kolivand, the head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, shared details about the search-and-rescue operation in an interview with a state broadcaster. He said the vast search area, heavy fog and darkness slowed the operation. Paul Beaver, an aviation expert and former helicopter pilot, said the cloud cover, fog, mist and low temperature must have contributed to the crash of the Iranian president’s aircraft.

  • broadcaster n. a company that sends out television or radio programmes 电视台；广播公司
  • aviation n. [U]the designing, building and flying of aircraft 航空制造业；航空；飞行
  • mist n. [U, C] a cloud of very small drops of water in the air just above the ground, that make it difficult to see 薄雾；水汽
  • 伊朗红新月会负责人皮尔侯赛因·科利万德在接受伊朗国家电视台采访时表示搜救范围广、多雾、多雨、能见度较低等状况都阻碍了搜救行动的进行。航空专家、前直升机飞行员保罗·比弗称，他认为云层、大雾以及低温是导致直升机坠机的原因之一。

不过，需要指出的是，事故直升机自身的情况也值得关注。

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi was likely traveling on a Bell 212 helicopter that began operating in the late 1960s, according to CNN military analyst Cedric Leighton.

  • operate v. [I, T] to be used or working; to use sth or make it work （被）使用；（使）运转
  • 美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）军事分析师塞德里克·莱顿（Cedric Leighton）分析说，莱希乘坐的直升机，可能是问世于上世纪60年代的贝尔-212直升机。

他说，在美国对伊朗实施制裁后，伊朗“难以获得备用零件”，可能无法替换老旧损坏的部分。在莱顿看来，这是除了天气原因外可能导致坠机事件发生的因素之一。

Leighton told CNN’s Paula Newton that the difficulty in obtaining spare parts could have played a factor in the crash: “In this particular case, I think this confluence of spare parts, because of the sanctions, plus the weather which was very bad over the last few days in this particular part of northwestern Iran. All of that, I think contributed to a series of incidents and a series of decisions that the pilot and possibly even the president himself made when it came to flying this aircraft… And unfortunately for them, the result is this crash.”

  • obtain v. obtain 较正式用词，着重通过巨大努力、要求而得到所需或盼望已久的东西
  • spare adj. [only before noun] kept in case you need to replace the one you usually use; extra 备用的；外加的
  • part n. [C] a piece of a machine or structure 部件；零件
  • confluence n. formal a situation in which two or more things combine or happen at the same time 同时发生，汇集/聚
  • sanction n. [C, usually pl.] ~ (against sb) an official order that limits trade, contact, etc. with a particular country, in order to make it do sth, such as obeying international law 制裁
  • 引号中的话属于口头表述，语法结构没那么对称和严格。
  • 莱顿告诉 CNN 的 Paula Newton，难以获得备用零件可能是导致坠机的一个因素："在这种特殊情况下，我认为由于（美国对伊朗实施）制裁而难以获得备用零件，再加上过去几天伊朗西北部这个地区的天气非常糟糕，这两种情况都同时发生。所有这一切，我认为都促成了一系列事件，以及飞行员，甚至可能是总统本人在驾驶这架飞机时所做出的一系列决定…而不幸的是，结果就是这次坠机（事件）。

On May 9, a Chinese netizen who attended the bread festival, posted a video on Douyin. In the video, a line of mantou was nestled among the array of baked food on display.

The video quickly went viral on Chinese social media platforms, bringing attention to this most beloved staple food in Chinese diet.

  • 走红 go viral
  • staple adj. [only before noun] forming a basic, large or important part of sth 主要的；基本的；重要的
  • 主食 staple food
  • 这段视频在中国社交媒体平台上迅速走红，这种国人最喜爱的主食也备受瞩目。

吃馒头花样多

Mantou can be enjoyed in various ways. When freshly steamed, it is a delight on its own, alternatively, it can be roasted, skewered, and grilled to golden brown, and its flavor can be enhanced with aromatic spices like cumin and chili powder.

  • alternatively adv. used to introduce a suggestion that is a second choice or possibility （引出第二种选择或可能的建议）要不，或者

  • 金黄色指蛋液

According to the video, the label called it mantao, and described it as: “Made with wheat flour, yeast, and then steamed. The mantao has a smooth surface and a dense crumb. In the southern regions of the country, sugar and fat are added. A staple food, it comes in a variety of shapes, with the most common ones being round, leaf, flower.”

“mantou”？

有这样两种可能。

语言产生者的角度

“馒头”的制作大厨是广东厨师，“mantao”是因为吸收了粤语发音的精华。在粤语中馒头的拼音为 maan4 tau4，“馒”（maan4）的发音类似于普通话中的“满”，“头”（tau4）的发音类似于普通话中的“投”，不过声调是低降调。

语言接收者的角度

为了配合法语的发音习惯如果用“ou”，可能会发出/u/的音，即“馒图”，而用“ao”反而更易于发出接近中文的发音。

楼主并没有歌功颂德，你也不要如此敏感。

政治人物不宜提，和歌颂不歌颂政治人物毫无关系。以往很长时间，墙内网站是可以放心大胆地指名道姓政治人物，最近几年渐渐不行了。你想要本坛跟随墙内网站，也不是一点道理没有，但别胡扯什么歌功颂德，真正的理由，是避讳：避讳 - 维基百科，自由的百科全书

避讳 是中国历史上，必须回避君主、尊长等贵人的“名讳”[1]的一种习惯，通常只限于君主、尊长等贵人之本名，字号的避讳则较少见[2]，在言谈和书写时，遇到君主、尊长等贵人的名讳一律要回避，可以用其他字代换，或是刻意将该字缺笔；取名时，不能取他们的名讳中字甚或同音的字；否则，可能触犯大不敬之罪。陆容《菽园杂记》称，“民间俗讳各处有之，吴中为甚。”这种习惯也曾经适用于汉字文化圈内中国的临近国家，例如日本、朝鲜半岛、越南、琉球。

你说的很对，并不只是说老共的坏话是谈政治，对老共歌功颂德也是谈政治，问题是你自己做到了吗？

你整天在坛里贴些美国哭了，日本尿了，美国搬石砸脚了，中国遥遥领先了，美帝完了，中国赢了的的话题，这不也是政治？2024年7月9日后，大陆用户就不能再使用ChatGPT了？
