>Fishing restarts in sea
东海休渔结束渔船待发
The 3 1/2-month summer fishing ban in the East China Sea will end at 12 pm Sunday, Voice of China reported. Statistics show that each year more than 1,000 Chinese fishing ships from Fujian, Zhejiang and other coastal provinces enter the Diaoyu Islands waters but they are usually disturbed by Japanese. The fishermen said they will set out for waters near Diaoyu Islands after the super typhoon Sanba, the year's 16th, moves away.
据中国之声报道,今天中午12点,我国东海将结束3个半月的伏季休渔。据统计,福建、浙江等沿海省份,每年进入钓鱼岛海域作业的渔船有1000多艘,但往年里,渔民作业会受到日方的干扰。鉴于今年第16号超强台风"三巴"正逼近东海海面,渔民表示,台风过后将赴钓鱼岛海域捕鱼。

>Japan declares Diaoyu rights
日宣布对钓鱼岛'警察权'
The Japan Coast Guard and police agency announced in an official statement Friday 19 places where its Coast Guard officers can exercise police rights, including the Diaoyu Islands, Kyodo News reported. Takeshima (known as Dokdo Island in South Korea), the disputed islands between Japan and South Korea, and the Northern Territories (known as the Kuril Islands in Russia), the disputed islands between Japan and Russia, are not included in the list because "they were under actual control of foreign countries and unable to be governed by law."
据日本共同社消息,日本海上保安厅和警察厅14日通过政府官报公示了19个海上保安官可行驶警察权的地点,其中包括钓鱼岛。而有关竹岛(韩国称独岛)和北方四岛(俄罗斯称南千岛群岛),日本则以"处于外国的实际控制之下,事实上不可能执行法律"为由排除在外。

>Seagull thief records sunset
海鸥偷相机拍绝景(图)
A seagull stole a camera and recorded a beautiful sunset as it flew through the sky, foreign media reported. Natalie Rollandin, an Italian tourist, had her camera snatched off as she was filming a glorious sunset near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the US. The bird skimmed (掠过) over San Francisco Bay with the camera rolling for about 60 seconds, capturing the world-famous landmark from a unique vantage point. The bird dropped its prize off on a promenade (人行道) and flew off into the sunset.(See photo)
据外媒报道,意大利游客娜塔莉·罗兰丹近日在美国旧金山金门大桥拍摄壮观日落时,一只海鸥叼走了她的相机并拍下了日落美景。这只"小偷"海鸥抓着保持正常拍摄的相机,用了大约60秒时间掠过旧金山湾,相机随着它从独一无二的视角抓拍到了这个世界著名地标的景象。最后,海鸥将它的"战利品"丢在人行道上,然后在落日的余晖中飞走了。(见图)
【Language Tips】
'Gun-shy'
---------
Gun是枪的意思,shy的意思是"怕羞,不好意思"。可是,gun-shy的意思跟gun和shy都没有关系,它的意思是一个人由于以往不太愉快的经历,而在面临某种情况的时候感到很迟疑和不安。
请看例句:
All his friends kept telling my brother Bill he ought to get married again. But he's gun-shy about having another wife after his first marriage turned out so badly.
我弟弟比尔的所有朋友都不断对他说,他应该再结婚。但是,由于比尔有过一次失败的婚姻,所以他对再次结婚感到很迟疑。
【Talk Show】
世界如此美妙,我却如此烦躁。
>I need my down time.
我需要好好放松一下。(工作一天很辛苦很疲乏,这时人们往往需要静静待一会儿,这段安静的时光称为down time。)
>God, I'm losing my mind.
天呐我要疯了!
>I am not on my game today.
我今天不在状态。
>Today I don't feel like doing anything. I just want to lie in my bed.
今天我什么事情也不想干,就想赖在床上。
>It's driving me nuts!
太让人抓狂了!

我赞同这一做法,因为这能让那些支持日本右翼的财团清醒一下。但我觉得我们还要致力于国货的发展,身为一个女生,我表示很难戒掉日系的化妆品和护肤品,不是我不爱国,是因为国货实在难合我意。
另外,我们每个人都是无法完全与日货隔绝的,因为我们的第二代身份证上的贴膜就是日本产的……所以,加油吧,中国!
山东潍坊159****9659
June: 态度很坚决,抵制日货。在群众抵制日货的自发活动中,大家并不只是在意是不是能完全抵制了日货或者是给日本经济以重创,而是更想表明"这是一种中华民族的态度,表明我们每个华人的尊严,表明我们在钓鱼岛问题上绝不退让的决心"。
北京134****1834
小五:在我看来,政府之间的争斗不应该涉及到民众和商业。况且在现在全球化经济的大环境下,很多日货都是由我们中国人来进行生产的。如果说90%的国人进行抵制日货的行动,那为日商工作的中国人将受到牵连,工资减少甚至被辞退。
并且,全球化的采购使得商品的个个部件都来自不同国家。谁能保证你买不到日货?也许你买个DeLL电脑,屏幕是日产的、CPU日产的、显卡日产的,硬盘还是日产的。这种情况下的这个比率,你说可不可以做到完全抵制呢?
