4 China Will Launch Wikipedia Rival in 2018

中国将于2018年推出在线百科全书

China is to use an online national encyclopaedia[百科全书]next year, to compete with[与……竞争]Wikipedia[维基百科].

Officials said more than 20,000 people will work on the project. There will be 300,000 entries[词条]. Each entry will have about 1,000 words.

Unlike Wikipedia, it will be created by selected[精选的]scholars[学者]from staterun[公办的]universities, rather than being openly editable[可编辑的]by volunteers.

“The Encyclopaedia of China is not a book, but a Great Wall of culture,” said Yang Muzhi, the editor-in-chief[主编]of the project.

中国将在明年启动一个全国性的在线百科全书,要与维基百科一争高下。

官方人员称,将有两万多人参与本次项目。百科全书将收录三十万个词条,每个词条约有一千字。

与维基百科不同的是,它将由选拔自公办高校的优秀学者们来撰写词条,而非由志愿者进行公开编辑。

“《中国百科全书》不是一本书,而是一座文化万里长城,”此次项目的主编杨牧之说道。

5 Fidget Spinners Become a New Craze Across Many Countries

指尖陀螺风靡数国

At the beginning, fidget spinners were made as tools for children with autism[自闭症]and ADHD[注意力缺陷多动症]. But now, they become very popular among students and in the social media.

A fidget spinner is a three-pronged[有尖头的], palm-sized[手掌大小的]piece of plastic[塑料]or metal[金属]. It spins around a bearing[轴承]in the center. As the spinner spins, it can be balanced on top of fingers, toes, or even the nose or forehead. There are YouTube videos showing how to do tricks[把戏]with it. And they attract millions of views. Many kids just can’t put the spinners down.

But to teachers, fidget spinners become a classroom distraction[分心的事物]. So they are being banned[禁止]at many schools.

起初,指尖陀螺是一种用于治疗患有自闭症和注意力缺陷多动症的儿童的工具。不过现在,指尖陀螺在学生群体中和社交媒体上非常流行。

指尖陀螺是一种三齿状的、手掌大小的塑料或金属件。它绕着一个中心轴承转动。当指尖陀螺旋转时,它可以平衡地放在指尖、脚尖,甚至是鼻子或额头上。YouTube上有许多视频教授其玩法技巧,吸引了数百万的观看量。许多孩子简直已是指尖陀螺不离手。

然而对于教师而言,指尖陀螺却成为了课堂的干扰。因此,许多学校已经禁止学生玩指尖陀螺。
