>Nobel Prize goes to Mo Yan
莫言获诺贝尔文学奖

The Swedish Academy announced Thursday that it had awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature to Chinese author Mo Yan. The prize is worth 8m Swedish kronor, about RMB7.49m. Mo Yan said late Thursday that he was "overjoyed and terrified" at the news.
瑞典皇家科学院11日宣布，中国作家莫言获得2012年诺贝尔文学奖。诺文学奖奖金为800万瑞典克朗，约合人民币749万元。莫言当天晚些时候表示，他获悉获奖的消息后，感到"狂喜并惶恐。"

[获奖理由]
--"Through a mixture of fantasy and reality, historical and social perspectives, Mo Yan has created a world reminiscent in its complexity of those in the writings of William Faulkner and Gabriel García Márquez, at the same time finding a departure point in old Chinese literature and in oral tradition," the citation for the award declared.
评委会给出的获奖理由是："莫言将幻想和现实、历史和社会角度结合在一起。他创作的世界令人联想起美国作家福克纳和拉美作家马尔克斯的作品，同时又在中国传统文学和口头文学中寻找到一个出发点。
--He was described as a writer "who with hallucinatory realism merges folk tales, history and the contemporary."
评委会认为，莫言作品将魔幻现实主义与民间故事、历史和当代现实完美融合在了一起。

[莫言生平]
Mo was born in 1955 in Gaomi county, Shandong, the son of farmers. He left school during the "cultural revolution" to work, first in agriculture and later in a factory. In 1976 he joined the People's Liberation Army and began to study literature and write.
莫言1955年出生于山东高密县一个农民家庭，文革时期辍学，先是在农村劳动后进入工厂。他1976年参军，随后从事文学创作。

[莫言主要作品]
《红高粱家族》"Red sorghum"
《丰乳肥臀》"Big breasts and wide hips"
《檀香刑》"Sandalwood death"
《生死疲劳》"Life and death are wearing me out"
《蛙》"Frog"

>China 2nd richest by 2017
中国家庭财富5年后超日
Global household wealth will grow by nearly 50% in the next 5 years to $330 trillion, with the Chinese overtaking the Japanese as the world's 2nd richest people, Credit Suisse said in a report Wednesday, Reuters reported. "If the recent growth trends continue, China could reach the real wealth level that the USA enjoyed in 1992, which would represent a jump of 22 'USA years' in just 5," Credit Suisse said in its Global Wealth Report 2012.
据路透社报道，瑞信研究院10日发表2012年度《全球财富报告》指出，全球家庭财富总值未来5年内将达330万亿美元，增长近50%，而中国将取代日本成为全球第2富有的国家。报告称，"若保持目前的增长势头，中国将在2017年达到美国1992年的富裕程度，仅用5年就完成美国22年才完成的飞跃。"

>Credit bills about HK$76,790
港人刷信用卡欠债七万
It has been found that Hong Kong residents start paying by credit card at an average age of 24, according to a new survey covering 506 people who defaulted on their cards, Wen Wei Po reported. It was found that they ran up bills of an average of HK$6,685 by credit card every month and owed to the banks as much as HK$76,790 on average. The survey also found that up to 55% possessed 3.8 credit cards on average and some have as many as 30. Monthly credit card bills of Hong Kong people born in the 1980s account for 36% of their wages, and have become a huge obstacle for life plans such as buying a house and getting married.
据香港《文汇报》消息，一项最新调查显示，在506名欠卡数的受访者中，香港人平均24岁开始刷卡消费，平均每月刷卡6685元(港元，下同)，人均欠债76790元。调查发现高达55%的人平均曾拥有3.8张信用卡，更有甚者坐拥30张信用卡。80后香港年轻人须将每月36%的薪金用作清卡数，严重影响他们买楼、结婚等人生大计。

>Artist seeks boyhood nanny
美犹太画家上海寻阿妈
US artist Peter Max arrived in Shanghai Thursday in search of his childhood nanny when he took shelter as a Jewish refugee in the city, China News Service reported. Max was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1937. He was taken by his parents to Shanghai to take shelter when he was about one and lived in Hongkou district for 10 years. The nanny, who Max called "Ama", was a few years older than him and taught him to draw. Max has painted for 7 US presidents, namely Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush and Obama.
据中新社报道，美国犹太裔画家彼得·马克斯11日来到上海，希望能寻找到童年在上海避难时的"阿妈"。马克斯1937年出生于德国柏林，约一岁时随父母来到上海避难，并在虹口区居住了10年。他表示，比他年长数岁的中国保姆，是他绘画的启蒙者。马克斯曾为7位美国总统(福特、卡特、里根、老布什、克林顿、小布什和奥巴马)画像。

>Eat chocolate, win Nobels
诺奖青睐爱食巧克力国?
A study ties chocolate consumption to the number of Nobel Prize winners a country has. The higher a country's chocolate consumption, the more Nobel laureates it spawns per capita. No, this does not appear in a tabloid. It's in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine, which published this fact online Wednesday. The author Dr Franz Messerli writes that there is evidence that flavanols (黄烷醇) in green tea, red wine and chocolate can help "in slowing down or even reversing" age-related mental decline.
一项研究称，一个国家的巧克力销量与该国获得诺贝尔奖的人数有密切关系。巧克力销量越高，获诺奖的平均人数越多。这个结果不是发表在小报上，而是10日刚刚刊发在权威的《新英格兰医学杂志》网站上。作者弗朗兹·梅瑟莉博士称，有证据证明绿茶、红酒和巧克力中的黄烷醇有助减缓衰老导致的智力下降，甚至能增强智力。

[哪些国家爱吃巧克力]
Switzerland leads in chocolate consumption and Nobels. The US is in the middle of the pack with the Netherlands, Ireland, France, Belgium and Germany. At the bottom are China, Japan and Brazil.
瑞士巧克力销量最高，其诺贝尔获得者也最多。美国、荷兰、爱尔兰、法国、比利时和德国的巧克力销量和诺贝尔获奖人数排在中间，垫底的是中国、日本和巴西。
