Google to roll out anti-disinformation campaign in some EU countries 谷歌将在一些欧盟国家推出反虚假信息运动 A new campaign by Google will launch next week in some EU countries addressing disinformation about Ukraine refugees. 谷歌下周将在一些欧盟国家发起一项新的活动，以解决有关乌克兰难民的虚假信息 Working with Jigsaw, the psychologists from the universities of Cambridge and Bristol have produced 90-second clips designed to "inoculate" people against harmful content on social media. 剑桥大学和布里斯托尔大学的心理学家与Jigsaw合作，制作了90秒的视频片段，旨在“接种”人们免受社交媒体上有害内容的侵害。 The clips, which will run in advertising slots on Google's YouTube and also on other platforms such as Twitter (TWTR.N), TikTok and Meta's (META.O) Facebook, aim to help people identify emotional manipulation and scapegoating in a news headline. 这些视频片段将在谷歌的YouTube以及推特（TWTR.N）、TikTok和Meta的脸书（Meta.O）等其他平台的广告位上播放，旨在帮助人们识别新闻标题中的情绪操纵和替罪羊。 The research was spread over seven experiments, including with a group of Americans over 18 years old who watch political news on YouTube. Jigsaw exposed around 5.4 million U.S. YouTubers to an inoculation video, with almost a million watching for at least 30 seconds. 这项研究分为七个实验，其中包括一组在YouTube上观看政治新闻的18岁以上的美国人。Jigsaw让大约540万美国YouTube用户观看了一段疫苗接种视频，近100万人观看了至少30秒。 ]The campaign is designed to build resilience to anti-refugee narratives, in partnership with local non-government organisations, fact checkers, academics, and disinformation experts. 该活动旨在与当地非政府组织、事实核查人员、学者和虚假信息专家合作，建立对反难民叙事的抵御能力。 The spread of misleading and fake information in the United States and Europe through social media networks has led to various governments pushing for new laws to stem disinformation campaigns. 通过社交媒体网络在美国和欧洲传播误导性和虚假信息，导致各国政府推动制定新的法律来遏制虚假信息运动。 The campaign will run for one month.Jigsaw 这场运动将持续一个月。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ More stability essential for Sino-US ties 中美关系更加稳定 Despite US President Donald Trump saying the United States and China can "together solve all of the problems of the world", the US president signed an order on Tuesday increasing previously imposed 10 percent tariffs on Chinese goods to 20 percent. 尽管美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，美国和中国可以“共同解决世界上的所有问题”，但美国总统周二签署了一项命令，将之前对中国商品征收的10%的关税提高到20%。 China immediately retaliated by announcing 15 percent tariffs on chicken, wheat, corn and cotton imports from the US, and 10 percent tariffs on "sorghum, soybeans, pork, beef, aquatic products, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products". Also, China's Ministry of Commerce said it had added 15 US companies, including drone-maker Skydio, to its export control list, meaning Chinese companies will be barred from exporting dual-use equipment to those companies. 中国立即采取报复措施，宣布对从美国进口的鸡肉、小麦、玉米和棉花征收15%的关税，对“高粱、大豆、猪肉、牛肉、水产品、水果、蔬菜和乳制品”征收10%的关税。此外，中国商务部表示，已将包括无人机制造商Skydio在内的15家美国公司列入其出口管制名单，这意味着中国公司将被禁止向这些公司出口两用设备。 China has no intention of replacing the US as the global leader. But it should firmly defend its right to development in the face of the US' persistent containment policy. 中国无意取代美国成为全球领导者。但面对美国持续的遏制政策，它应该坚定地捍卫自己的发展权。 With various favorable factors converging, 2025 has become a pivotal year for global investment, and to reassess China's global competitiveness. China's continuous rise shows tariff and trade conflicts cannot solve the US' problems, nor check China's development march, because despite Sino-US trade accounting for a declining share of China's overall trade, the trend of growing bilateral trade has not substantially changed, indicating Sino-US trade is resilient to non-market intervention. 随着各种有利因素的融合，2025年已成为全球投资和重新评估中国全球竞争力的关键一年。中国的持续崛起表明，关税和贸易冲突无法解决美国的问题，也无法阻碍中国的发展进程，因为尽管中美贸易在中国整体贸易中所占的份额在下降，但双边贸易增长的趋势并没有发生实质性变化，这表明中美贸易对非市场干预具有弹性。 China has drawn lessons from its interactions with Trump's first presidency, and has become more adept at handling frictions. An apt example is the way in which China has been dealing with the US: it has become more resilient to the US administration's dirty tricks, including punitive tariffs, while leaving room for negotiations. 中国从与特朗普第一任总统的互动中吸取了教训，并变得更加善于处理摩擦。一个恰当的例子是中国与美国打交道的方式：它对美国政府的肮脏伎俩，包括惩罚性关税，变得更加有弹性，同时为谈判留下了空间。 However, China is not the lone target of the US administration, as it has launched tariff wars against pretty much all major trade partners, which could significantly disrupt the global economy, even dismantle the multilateral trading system. 然而，中国并不是美国政府的唯一目标，因为它对几乎所有主要贸易伙伴都发动了关税战，这可能会严重扰乱全球经济，甚至破坏多边贸易体系。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Ancient cultural treasures in 'Ne Zha 2' 《哪吒2》中的古代文化瑰宝 The Chinese animated blockbuster Ne Zha 2 has captured the hearts of audiences since its release during Spring Festival this year. As of Feb 22, the film's box office revenue has surpassed 13 billion yuan (about $1.8 billion), cementing its place as China's all-time top-grossing film. 中国动画大片《哪吒2》自今年春节上映以来，就俘获了观众的心。截至2月22日，这部电影的票房收入已超过130亿元人民币（约合18亿美元），巩固了其作为中国有史以来票房收入最高的电影的地位。 In this legendary animation, numerous treasures of ancient cultural relics are brought to life, traveling through thousands of years and "resurrecting" on the silver screen. Let's take a closer look at these cultural elements and the real-life prototypes that inspired them. 在这部传奇动画中，无数古代文物珍品被栩栩如生地呈现出来，穿越数千年，在银幕上“复活”。让我们仔细看看这些文化元素和启发它们的现实原型。 Seven-colored lotus 七色莲花 In Ne Zha 2, the seven-colored lotus, a multilayered lotus root, plays a pivotal role in reconstructing the bodies of the protagonists, Ne Zha and Ao Bing. This fantastical concept is inspired by the Boshan censer, a 2,000-year-old gilt-bronze incense burner housed at the Hebei Museum in Shijiazhuang, Hebei province. 在《哪吒2》中，七色莲花，一种多层莲藕，在重建主人公哪吒和敖丙的身体方面起着关键作用。这个奇幻的概念灵感来自河北省石家庄市河北博物馆收藏的有2000年历史的镀金青铜香炉——博山香炉。 The Boshan censer was an incense burner used indoors during the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24), named for its resemblance to the mythical immortal mountain. 博山香炉是西汉时期（公元前206年-公元24年）在室内使用的一种香炉，因其与神话中的仙山相似而得名。 Barrier beasts栅栏兽 If you've seen both Ne Zha films, you're sure to remember the quirky and charming barrier beasts—comical creatures that serve as guardians. These creatures bear a striking resemblance to ancient relics from the Sanxingdui culture. 如果你看过哪吒的两部电影，你一定会记得那些古怪而迷人的屏障兽——充当守护者的滑稽生物。这些生物与三星堆文化的古代遗迹有着惊人的相似之处。 When visiting the Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan province, you'll recognize the similarity between the barrier beasts and items like the gold-masked bronze head, large bronze masks and the bronze eagle-shaped bell. 参观四川三星堆博物馆时，您会发现障碍动物与金面具青铜头、大型青铜面具和青铜鹰形钟等物品之间的相似性。 Tianyuan tripod 天元鼎 The Tianyuan tripod, known as the "foundation of the Chan sect" in the film, is a key alchemical tool in the Jade Xu Palace. Its design draws inspiration from the flat, spherical bellies and column feet of bronze tripods used during the Shang and Zhou dynasties (c.16th century-256 BC). The tripod's intricate decoration includes common motifs like the Taotie (a mythological creature) and cloud-thunder patterns, which were popular during these dynasties. 天元鼎，在电影中被称为“禅宗之基”，是玉虚宫的关键炼金工具。它的设计灵感来自商周时期（约公元前16世纪至公元前256年）使用的青铜鼎的扁平球形腹部和柱脚。鼎的复杂装饰包括常见的图案，如陶铁（一种神话生物）和云雷图案，这些图案在这些朝代很受欢迎。 The tripod was a symbol of power and status in ancient China, often used in ritualistic ceremonies. Its presence in the film reflects the high position and supreme authority of the Chan sect within the Jade Xu Palace. Moreover, the overall rounded shape of the Tianyuan tripod mirrors the dun, an ancient luxury food vessel associated with the Shu royal family. 在中国古代，鼎是权力和地位的象征，经常用于仪式。它在电影中的出现反映了禅宗在玉序宫的崇高地位和最高权威。此外，天元鼎的整体圆形形状反映了敦煌，这是一种与蜀国皇室有关的古代豪华食品器皿。 Jade Xu Palace玉虚宫 When Ne Zha travels to the Jade Xu Palace, a group of immortal cranes flies in the sky, with two of them landing on the palace roof's chiwen (decorative ridge-top creature). This scene is inspired by the famous painting "Ruihe Tu" by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty (960-1279), Zhao Ji. "Ruihe Tu" depicts a scene of a group of cranes flying over the palace in Bianjing (today's Kaifeng) on the night of the Lantern Festival during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127). Eventually, two cranes land on the palace's chiwen. 当哪吒前往玉虚宫时，一群仙鹤在天空中飞翔，其中两只降落在宫殿屋顶的奇闻（装饰性的屋脊生物）上。这一场景的灵感来源于宋徽宗赵季的名画《瑞河图》。《瑞鹤图》描绘了北宋（960-1127）元宵节之夜，一群鹤飞过汴京（今开封）宫殿的场景。最终，两只鹤降落在宫殿的鸱吻上。 Chiwen is an important decorative element on the ridges of ancient Chinese roofs, often sculpted in the shape of a dragon. It symbolizes the prevention of evil and fire, serving as an essential feature in ancient architecture. Zhao Ji painted this scene on silk, symbolizing heavenly blessings, peace and prosperity for the country and its people. 鸱吻是中国古代屋脊上的重要装饰元素，通常雕刻成龙的形状。它象征着防止邪恶和火灾，是古代建筑的一个基本特征。赵季在丝绸上描绘了这一场景，象征着天佑、国家和人民的和平与繁荣。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Pritzker winner celebrates ordinary people's lives 普利兹克奖得主庆祝普通人的生活 Architect Liu Jiakun was awarded the 2025 Pritzker Architecture Prize on Tuesday, making him the second winner from China to earn the highest honor in the field of architecture after Wang Shu in 2012. 周二，建筑师刘家坤获得了2025年普利兹克建筑奖，这使他成为继2012年王澍之后第二位获得建筑领域最高荣誉的中国获奖者。 "The purpose of architecture is to create a beautiful, just and dignified living environment.

Then recently enrolled as a master's student at the Ocean University of China, I was filled with excitement and curiosity. The crisp coastal air of Qingdao welcomed me, and the city's blend of modernity and history captivated me instantly. Known for its German colonial architecture, famous beer, and tranquil beaches, Qingdao was the place where I began to understand China — not just as a country but as a culture, a way of life, and a place that would profoundly shape my future. 2015年，当我第一次来到山东省青岛市时，我从未想象过等待我的旅程。然后，我最近被中国海洋大学录取为硕士生，我充满了兴奋和好奇。青岛清新的海滨空气欢迎我，这座城市现代性和历史性的融合瞬间吸引了我。青岛以其德国殖民时期的建筑、著名的啤酒和宁静的海滩而闻名，是我开始了解中国的地方——不仅是一个国家，更是一种文化、一种生活方式，一个将深刻塑造我未来的地方。 The early days were challenging. As a Pakistani navigating a foreign land, everything was new — the language, the food, the social norms. My Mandarin was limited to a few basic phrases, and I often relied on gestures and translation apps to communicate. Yet, with every struggle came a moment of triumph. I vividly remember the first time I successfully ordered food at a streetside noodle shop and the joy of making my first Chinese friend, who patiently corrected my broken Mandarin and taught me the phrase, man man lai — take it easy. 早期是充满挑战的。作为一个在异国他乡航行的巴基斯坦人，一切都是新的——语言、食物、社会规范。我的普通话仅限于几个基本短语，我经常依靠手势和翻译应用程序进行交流。然而，每一次斗争都伴随着胜利的时刻。我清楚地记得我第一次在街边面馆成功点餐的情景，以及与我的第一个中国朋友相处的喜悦，他耐心地纠正了我蹩脚的普通话，并教了我“慢点”这个短语。 After completing my master's degree, I took a bold step forward and joined Wuhan University for my PhD. Moving to Wuhan was like stepping into a completely different China. While Qingdao had been a coastal haven, Wuhan was a bustling metropolis in Central China's Hubei province, known for its history and for being a hub of education and innovation. Wuhan University, perched on scenic Luojia Hill and overlooking East Lake, is one of China's Top 10 universities. Studying there was both an honor and a challenge — it pushed me academically, culturally, and personally. 在完成硕士学位后，我迈出了大胆的一步，加入了武汉大学攻读博士学位。搬到武汉就像走进一个完全不同的中国。虽然青岛是一个沿海天堂，但武汉是中国中部湖北省的一个繁华大都市，以其历史和教育创新中心而闻名。武汉大学坐落在风景秀丽的珞珈山上，俯瞰东湖，是中国十大大学之一。在那里学习既是一种荣誉，也是一种挑战——它在学术、文化和个人方面都推动了我。 During my PhD journey, I delved deeply into research and formed lifelong connections with peers from around the globe. Wuhan exposed me to a melting pot of cultures, where Chinese traditions blended seamlessly with global perspectives. I found myself exploring everything from hot, spicy Wuhan-style noodles to serene boat rides on the Yangtze River. Even though the workload was intense, I made sure to embrace the city's vibrant life. Wuhan taught me to balance academic rigor with personal growth, a lesson that has stayed with me. 在我的博士之旅中，我深入研究了研究，并与来自世界各地的同行建立了终身联系。武汉让我接触到了一个文化大熔炉，中国传统与全球视野无缝融合。我发现自己探索了从辛辣的武汉式面条到长江上宁静的游船之旅的一切。尽管工作量很大，但我一定要拥抱这座城市充满活力的生活。武汉教会了我在学术严谨和个人成长之间取得平衡，这一教训一直伴随着我。 One of the most memorable chapters of my life in China was my 2017 cycling adventure through the Shandong peninsula. Inspired by a desire to explore China up close and break stereotypes about expats, my friend and I planned to cycle through Qingdao, Yantai, Weihai, and the surrounding areas. These cities, known for their historical significance and coastal beauty, were the perfect backdrop for an adventure that would test our endurance and broaden our horizons. 我在中国生活中最难忘的篇章之一是2017年我在山东半岛的自行车探险。出于近距离探索中国并打破对外籍人士的刻板印象的愿望，我和朋友计划在青岛、烟台、威海和周边地区骑行。这些城市以其历史意义和海岸美景而闻名，是冒险的完美背景，这将考验我们的耐力，开阔我们的视野。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
