蘋果擬在華設立第二個研發中心Apple is to Open the Second Research lab in China

據蘋果首席執行官蒂姆·庫克介紹，蘋果將在中國南方城市深圳開設一個研發實驗室。該實驗室將是蘋果在中國建立的第二個研究機構。蘋果在北京已經有了一個新的研發機構。蘋果在一份聲明中表示，“在我們在中國各地努力支持人才發展之際，（兩個研發中心）旨在加強與當地合作伙伴和大學的聯系”。

Apple is to open a research lab in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, according to Tim Cook, its chief executive.It will be Apple’s second facility in China.

鮑勃·迪倫被授予2016年諾貝爾文學獎Bob Dylan Wins 2016 Nobel Prize for Literature

鮑勃·迪倫被授予2016年諾貝爾文學獎。瑞典文學院稱，這是為了表彰這位75歲的歌曲作者“在美國歌曲的偉大傳統中開創了新的詩性表達”。自設立以來，諾貝爾文學獎很少被授予文學界以外的人士。在迪倫之前，也許最令人意外的是1953年溫斯頓·丘吉爾爵士因其在歷史領域的著作獲獎，以表彰“他對歷史和傳記描述的精通，以及捍衛崇高的人類價值觀的雄辯”。

Bob Dylan has been awarded the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature for what the Swedish Academy said was the 75-year-old songwriter’s role in “creating new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”. Since its inception, the committee has rarely strayed outside the world of literature in awarding the prize.Perhaps the most surprising choice before Dylan was the 1953 choice of Sir Winston Churchill for his work in the field of history. The citation said the award was for his mastery of historical and biographical description as well as for brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values.

中英兩國政府同意增加雙邊航班Deal Allows Double the Number of Weekly Flights between the UK and China

航空公司將有權把英國和中國間的每周航班增加一倍以上，英中兩國政府代表間達成的這一協議將把兩國間每周航班的上限從目前的80次提升至200次。增加航班成為可能，是由于雙方同意修改雙邊航空協議。此前該協議不僅限制每周航班數量，還要求英國任何航空公司最多只能開通前往中國六個目的地的航班。新協議廢除了這種限制，令英國的航空公司有權運營飛抵中國任何地點的航班。

Airlines will have the right to operate more than twice as many weekly services as at present between the UK and China .The deal, agreed between representatives of the two governments, will increase the maximum number of weekly flights between the two countries to 200, from 80 at present.The rise was made possible after the two sides agreed to modify their bilateral aviation agreement, which had previously not only limited the number of flights each week but dictated that any UK airline could serve a maximum of six separate China destinations. The new deal discards those limits, giving UK airlines the right to operate to anywhere in China.
