Walking into an old-style restaurant in Hefei, Anhui, you can find hanging on the wall old-fashioned clocks and black-and-white photos of the city, a record player in the corner playing old songs, kids' toys from the 1980s, such as sheet iron leaping frogs, displayed in the cabinet. "The serene and antiquated atmosphere in the restaurant is a reminder of the old days and makes me feel good," said customer Huang Jingjing.
安徽合肥市的一家餐馆，墙上挂的是老式挂钟、城市黑白照片，角落的留声机里转着老唱片，橱柜里陈列着的是铁皮青蛙等曾在上世纪八十年代流行的玩具……顾客黄晶晶说："在这样的餐馆里吃饭，宁静古旧的氛围，让人回忆过去美好的点点滴滴，心情也好了许多。"[怀旧笔记本]
Li Xiang, an employee in a foreign company in Beijing, has bought some special notebooks online.

It is a kind of reminder of my childhood."

All food service providers such as restaurants and snack bars must hang up a cartoon picture to show its food safety inspection results, according to a new regulation by the State Food and Drug Administration, the Beijing Times reported. There will be 3 signs: "happy face" indicates excellent, "serious face" indicates good and "sad face" indicates ordinary. Consumers can see the food safety level easily by checking these faces.

This is the first price cut for gold this year after 8 price hikes, xinhuanet.com reported. The fall reached RMB14 per gram in some shops. International gold prices dropped below $1,800 an ounce Thursday, after 5 central banks announced a coordinated action to increase dollar funding to banks and reduced the demand for safe-haven gold.

>Giant onion sets record
测量师25年种出'洋葱王'
Peter Glazebrook, a 67-year-old retired chartered surveyor, set a new record for the world's heaviest onion, the Daily Mail of London reported. The giant vegetable tipped the scales at 8.15kg and measures 0.6m from top to bottom. Glazebrook has been trying for the honor of cultivating the world's heaviest onion for 25 years but always missed out until yesterday's victory at Harrogate Flower Show.

'Five o'clock shadow'
----------
"下午五点的阴影"指男人脸上的胡茬，用来形容清晨刮过脸但在傍晚又长出短的胡子。经过一天的工作，很多男人的胡茬会变得很明显。因为大多数人晚上5点下班，所以胡茬又被称作"下午5点的阴影"。
请看例句:
Her husband has a five o'clock shadow, which makes him look much older than his age.
她丈夫一脸胡子，所以看起来比实际年龄老多了。 【China Daily Radio】
新闻热词大放送北京许多上班族都喜欢去"蒸功夫"包子店买包子吃，然而近日媒体曝出北京数家打着"蒸功夫"牌子的包子铺使用禁售香精调馅。原来"味美肉鲜"的包子不过是披着"香精"外皮的伪劣食品。
请看《中国日报》的报道：
The use of essence in staple foods such as rice and buns is banned, according to China's food hygiene rules. Yet, the owner of a shop named Zhenggongfu in Beijing's Changping district said he adds the flavoring to meat to make it more appealing.
国家食品卫生法禁止在大米、馒头等主食中添加香精，然而，北京昌平区一家打着"蒸功夫"牌子的包子店店主说他在肉馅中加入香精是为了让包子味道更诱人。这种添加了肉味香精的包子就是所谓的"香精包子"，可以翻译成steamed stuffed buns with meat-flavor essence。过多食用这种"香精包子"会伤及人体的肝、肾，并会损害immune system(免疫系统)。Swill-cooked dirty oil(地沟油)还未禁绝，又冒出了香精包子，实在让人担忧中国的food safety(食品安全)。调查还发现，"香精包子"中所使用的unidentified additives(不明添加剂)包装上的标签全为外文，而根据规定，中国所有进口食品的包装内必须含有Chinese specifications(中文说明书)，其中必须包括sell-by date(保质期)、manufacturer(制造商)、distributor(经销商)和contact information(联系信息)。这次事件让人们发现，food made on-site(现场制售的食品)也未必比prepackaged food(预包装食品)更安全。(本期英文内容由美籍编辑Nelly Min润色) 【Weekly Topic】

我计划明年转行，原因有三。一是目前行业竞争激烈，利润微薄，待遇不见提高；二是全年无休，沦为机器，没有自己的生活；三是三十当立，需要开拓自己的事业，将此作为人生的另一个起跑点！河南郑州158****7998
刘栋：我正在为转行做准备。寄居在别人的船上既心有不甘，又有随时被推下去的危险。不如坚守在自己的船上，纵使难以靠岸，为了有尊严地生存和证明自我，也值得。广东深圳150****8549
安宁:初入社会时，心想，有份自己喜欢的工作，能养活自己的工资，就足够了。可是，现实是残酷的。结婚后，许多问题接踵而来，奶粉钱，房子贷款，物价上涨……这些都让我几乎承受不了。我才发现，自己的工资是多么的微薄，当初的想法是多么的愚蠢。现在的我，只想孩子生活得好些。为了家庭，为了生活，我决定转行。
