MH370調查報告
MH370 report
The head of Malaysia’s civil aviation regulator has resigned after an official report found failings in air traffic control when flight MH370 disappeared.
一份關于MH370航班客機失事的官方調查報告稱,飛機失事時,航空管制中心存在疏漏,馬來西亞民航局局長已提出辭職。
In a long-awaited report released on Monday, the official investigation team pointed to numerous lapses by air traffic controllers in both Malaysia and Vietnam, which ensured the plane was missing for about 20 minutes before an alert was sent.
這份眾盼已久的報告于7月30日發布,官方調查團在報告中指出,馬來西亞和越南空管部門存在諸多過失,直到飛機大約失聯20分鐘后才加以確認并發出警報。
In the 495-page report, investigators said they still did not know why the plane vanished, leaving families of those onboard devastated and highly critical of the investigation.
調查人員在495頁的報告(譯者注:該報告共822頁,主體部分共495頁)中依然沒有查明飛機失蹤的原因,乘客家屬對調查結果極為不滿,陷入崩潰。
The safety investigating team, however, did officially conclude that the course of the Malaysia Airlines aircraft was changed manually, rather than due to autopilot mechanisms.
但安全調查團正式宣布,MH370被人為改變航線,并非由于自動駕駛儀出現機械故障。
After investigations demonstrated that the pilot had been both adequately trained and under no pressures or mental strain that could have led him to crash the plane on purpose in a suicide mission, Dr Kok Soo Chon, the investigator in charge of the MH370 safety investigation, said “interference by a third party” could be a reason the jet suddenly diverted off course.
調查表明,兩名飛行員均受過嚴格訓練,不存在壓力或精神緊張,以致作出故意墜機的自殺舉動。負責MH370安全調查的郭師傳稱,“第三方干擾”或許是飛機突然偏離航線的原因。
The transport minister, Anthony Loke, said on Monday that “the aspiration to locate MH370 has not been abandoned” and vowed to take action against any misconduct committed based on the findings.
馬來西亞交通部長安東尼·洛克7月30日表示,“不會放棄搜索MH370的位置”,并采取行動堅決反對調查結果涉及的不當行為。

據媒體報道,折扣電商拼多多公司涉嫌銷售侵權假冒商品,中國市場監管總局8月1日表示,已要求上海相關監管部門展開調查。
The move comes after the Chinese e-commerce start-up raised $1.63 billion last week in the second-biggest U.S. listing by a Chinese firm this year, which valued the company at $23.8 billion.
上周,這家中國電商初創公司融資16.3億美元(約合人民幣111億元),市值達238億美元(約合人民幣1623億元),成為今年在美國上市的第二大中國公司。
Regulators will interview the Shanghai-based platform's operators and will deal seriously with any illegal practices found on the platform, the State Administration for Market Regulation said on its website.
國家市場監管總局官網發布消息稱,監管部門將約談上海拼多多平臺經營者,只要平臺構成違法,將依法嚴肅處理。
Pinduoduo is known for running large campaigns with extremely low-priced products to lure consumers – and has faced criticism for allowing misleading goods to be sold to consumers in some instances, mostly in China’s countryside.
拼多多因用價格極低的商品吸引消費者而聲名鵲起,同時也因向消費者(主要集中在中國農村地區)出售山寨商品而備受詬病

人造單染色體真核細胞
man-made single-chromosome eukaryote
Brewer's yeast, one-third of whose genome is said to share ancestry with humans, has 16 chromosomes. However, Chinese scientists have managed to fit nearly all its genetic material into just one chromosome while not affecting the majority of its functions, according to a paper released Thursday on the website of the journal Nature.
具有16條染色體的釀酒酵母中有1/3的基因與人類基因同源。然而,8月2日在《自然》雜志網站上發表的一篇論文稱,中國科學家成功將釀酒酵母幾乎所有的遺傳物質整合為單條染色體,且不影響其大部分功能。
Qin Zhongjun, a molecular biologist at the Center for Excellence in Molecular Plant Sciences of the Shanghai Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his team used CRISPR-Cas9 genome-editing to create a single-chromosome yeast strain, the paper said.
中國科學院上海植物生理生態研究所分子植物科學卓越創新中心的分子生物學家覃重軍和他的團隊使用CRISPR-Cas9基因組編輯技術創建了單條染色體酵母菌株。
Yeast is a type of eukaryote, which also includes humans, plants, and animals. Humans have 46 chromosomes, whereas male jack jumper ants have just one. It seems that the number of chromosomes of a eukaryote has no correlation with the amount of genetic information they possess, the paper said.
酵母和人類、動植物一樣,都是真核生物。人類有46條染色體,而雄性杰克跳蟻只有一條。論文提到,真核生物的染色體數目似乎與他們所攜帶的遺傳信息數量沒有相關性。
"It overturns the traditional view that gene expression is determined by the structure of chromosomes," Qin said.
覃重軍說:“這顛覆了染色體結構決定基因表達的傳統觀念!
The research may also pave the way for new man-made species in the future. "Yeast has great tolerance in genetic modification, and it is possible to add new chromosome segments to the genome. Researchers can make bolder attempts。" he said.
