端午节'龙舟传人'造龙舟
With the Dragon Boat Festival just around the corner, dragon boat building yards in Guangdong are full of hustle and bustle, China Daily reported Friday. Shangjiao village, which produces 80% of Guangdong's traditional dragon boats, is filled with the noise of drilling and nailing. A 40-meter wooden dragon boat takes 4 people working overtime about 16 days to finish. The cutting should be so precise and smooth that even a thread of hair cannot slip through the cracks. Craftsmen earn RMB110 a day for more than 10 hours in the building yard.
据《中国日报》3日报道，随着端午节的临近，广东的传统龙舟制造厂呈现一片繁忙景象。在广东80%龙舟的生产地——上漖村，到处回荡着钻孔和敲钉声。一艘40米长的龙舟，需要4名工人加班加点16天才能完成。削木需要非常精准和平滑，甚至一根头发丝的缝隙都不能有。工人一天在工场工作10多个小时，每天工资110元。[谁来传承'龙舟文化']
The demand for traditional dragon boats decreased in the 1990s partly because of mass-produced dragon boats made of rubber or plastic at a lower cost. However, over the past few years, with the inclusion of dragon boat racing in the Asian Games, there has been a rebound in the demand for traditional dragon boats.
90年代，传统龙舟的需求下降，部分原因是批量生产的橡皮或塑料龙舟更便宜。近年随着龙舟比赛成为亚运会项目，对传统龙舟的需求方有所反弹。 【Top News】
>E. coli infects 3 Americans
大肠杆菌恐已'冲出欧洲'
Three Americans who recently traveled to Germany contracted the E. coli virus. The recent outbreak in Europe reached the travelers who developed haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (溶血性尿毒综合症), CNN reported. All of them are in US hospitals. The E. coli outbreak has killed 18 and sickened more than 1,600 people in Europe. Health experts warn that the bug could be exported to the US, because the bacteria have an 8-day incubation period. Seven cases have been found in Britain.
据美国有线电视新闻网报道，正在欧洲肆虐的大肠杆菌病毒已经扩散至美国。3名最近曾赴德旅行的美国公民被查出感染了该病毒，并引发溶血性尿毒综合症。目前3人均在本国医院救治。在欧洲，大肠杆菌疫情已导致18人死亡，超过1600人受到感染。健康专家警告称，该病菌很可能传至美国，因为它有8天的潜伏期。另外，英国也发现了7名大肠杆菌感染病例。['超级菌株'再现江湖?]
Chinese and German scientists analyzed the DNA of the E. coli bacteria and determined that the outbreak was caused by "an entirely new, super-toxic" strain that contains several antibiotic-resistant genes. The strain appeared to be a combination of 2 types of E. coli.
中德科学家在对大肠杆菌病毒DNA进行研究后称，他们认为此次疫情由一种新型、毒性超强的菌株引起。该菌株含带有若干抗生素的耐药基因，似乎是2种大肠杆菌的混合体。 >Brazil approves Amazon dam
巴西准建亚马逊河大坝
Brazil's environmental agency gave final approval for a giant hydroelectric power plant in the Amazon rain forest, the New York Times reported. The Belo Monte dam has been at the center of a long battle between the government and environmentalists over the fate of indigenous people. The dam will be the world's 3rd largest, capable of producing 11,200 megawatts of electricity. Opponents said it would flood a large part of the Xingu River basin, affecting local fishing and forcing tens of thousands of indigenous people from their native lands.
据《纽约时报》报道，巴西环境机构日前最终批准在亚马逊热带雨林地区修建一座名为贝罗蒙特的巨型水电站。贝罗蒙特建成后将成为世界第3大水电站，可发电1.12万兆瓦。长期以来，针对大坝建成后对当地土著居民的影响，政府和环保人士之间一直争斗不断。反对人士指出，大坝将淹没亚马逊欣古河流域很多地区，影响当地渔业，并致使上万土著居民迁出故土。>Black boxes in cars
美要求新车配置'黑匣子'
New proposals are under review at the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The group is considering mandating the use of black boxes in all new cars in the US, Fox News reported. Black boxes are already used in many new cars. Known officially as "event data recorders" or EDRs, they work much like an airplane's black box in that they only capture data related to a crash. "EDRs are extremely helpful during accident reconstruction when used with corroborating physical and forensic evidence," a Toyota spokesman said.
据福克斯新闻报道，美国国家高速公路交通安全管理局正在评估一项方案：要求美国所有新车安装统一车用"黑匣子"。该设备目前已经在许多新车上安装使用。车用"黑匣子"的学名为车辆事故数据记录仪(EDR)，工作原理与飞机"黑匣子"非常相似，仅记录与交通事故有关的数据。丰田汽车的一位发言人说："'黑匣子'和确凿的实物证据、法医报告结合起来，将对再现事故场景起到非常大的帮助。" >Apple bans free giveaways
苹果叫停'免费送iPhone'
Apple prohibits third-parties from handing out its mobile devices in giveaways. Though this rule has been in place since January, the company has just started to enforce it, Fortune reported. Apple's Guidelines for Third Party Promotions say: "iPad, iPhone, and the iPhone Gift Card may not be used in third-party promotions; iPod touch is only allowed to be used in special circumstances and requires a minimum purchase of 250 units; the use of "free" as a modifier in any Apple product reference is prohibited." While Fortune reported Apple has started to shut down promotions, it didn't specifically cite any campaigns that have been suspended. Apple wouldn't comment on the matter.
据《财富》杂志报道，苹果近日开始规范第三方促销活动，禁止将iPad和iPhone等移动设备作为奖品免费发放。此条例1月份就已出台，但直到最近才开始实施。"iPad、iPhone和iPhone礼品卡均不得用于第三方促销活动，只有iPod touch可用于特定场合，且一次性购买数量不得低于250台。"苹果在颁发的《第三方推广活动指导条例》中如是说。该文件还指出，在任何情况下用"免费"一词修饰苹果产品的行为都将严格禁止。虽然苹果已发布禁令，但至今还没听说哪个推广活动因此被叫停。目前苹果尚未对此事置评。 【In Brief】

英国威廉王子夫妇将于6月30日至7月8日对加拿大展开婚后第一次正式出访。据悉，整个行程将花费加拿大纳税者2百万加元(约合人民币1300万元)，出动大批保安。对此，魁北克国民议会委员卡德尔(Amir Khadir)十分不满，他说：
"[Monarchy] is a parasitic system that was inherited from ancient times. A nation worthy of the 21st Century has no need for a monarchy or people with a bloodline."
"君主制是从古代沿袭而来的寄生系统，一个21世纪的国家不应需要君王和出身高贵的人。"【Newsmakers】

>Al Qaida attacked by cupcake
'蛋糕黑客'袭击基地网站
British intelligence has hacked into an Al Qaida online magazine and replaced bomb-making instructions with a recipe for cupcakes, the Daily Telegraph of London reported Thursday. The cyber-warfare operation was launched by MI6 and GCHQ in an attempt to disrupt efforts by the terrorist organization in the Arabian Peninsula to recruit "lone-wolf" terrorists with a new English-language magazine. When followers tried to download the 67-page color magazine, instead of instructions about how to "Make a bomb in the Kitchen of your Mom" by "The AQ Chef" they were greeted with garbled computer code. The code was actually a web page of recipes for "The Best Cupcakes in America".

摘自《杀人不难》，作者：阿加莎·克里斯蒂
'Go on, Bridget, tell me how you came to suspect the Waynflete woman.' Bridget explained: 'It was when you were telling me that Gordon was the killer. I couldn't believe it. You see, I knew him so well. I'd been his secretary for two years. I knew him in and out. I knew that he was pompous and petty and completely self-absorbed, but I knew, too, that he was a kindly person and almost absurdly tender. The story about his killing Miss Waynflete's canary – it was all wrong.'
"继续说，布丽姬，告诉我你怎么会怀疑韦恩弗利那个女人。" 布丽姬解释道："你跟我说高登就是那个杀人凶手，可是我实在没办法相信！你知道，我对他太了解了，我当过他两年的秘书，他是什么样的人我一清二楚。我知道他相当傲慢，自视很高，可是我也知道他很和善，甚至心软得可笑。韦恩弗利小姐说他杀死自己金丝雀的事根本不对，他绝对不会做那种事。" 【Weekly Topic】
