Protests turn violent ahead of G-8 summit

【新闻天天译（308）】070513（2010年我国面临劳动力短缺）

Nation may face labor shortage in 2010
2010年：中国面临劳动力短缺
The supply of low-cost labor, widely considered to be fueling China's sizzling economy, could start drying up as early as 2010, a report warns.
一份报告警告说，被广泛认为促进中国经济蓬勃发展的低成本劳动力供应最早在2010年将开始减少。
One of the biggest reasons for the potential shortage is that the rural labor force may not be as large as previously thought, the report, issued by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences on Thursday, says.
中国社会科学院周四发布的这份报告称，潜在短缺的重要因素之一是农村劳动力并非预想的那么多。
"China is moving from an era of labor surplus into an era of labor shortage," the
report cautions.
报告警告说，中国将从劳动力过剩时代进入短缺时代。
One of the architects of the report, however, said it doesn't necessarily mean the country will lose the advantage it enjoys in the international market because of its labor-intensive products.
但是报告的一位作者指出，这并不是说中国将失去在国际市场上劳动密集型产业带来的优势。
Experts believe the turning point, when the new labor force will fail to meet demand, could be as close as three years. This will trigger a general increase in wages, the report says.
报告中，专家认为，最早三年后，劳动力供需将出现转折，新的劳动力将无法满足需求，这讲导致工资普遍上涨。
Rising labor costs will pose the question: how long can China rely on its "population bonus". Some foreign investors have already moved their businesses to countries with lower labor costs, Wang Yiming, deputy director of the Academy of Macroeconomic Research, under the National Development and Research Commission, wrote in a column published on Wednesday.
周三，国家发改委宏观经济研究院常务副院长王一鸣在其专栏中写到：劳动力成本提高引发问题：中国还能依赖“人口优势” 多久？一些国外投资者已将他们的投资转向劳动力成本更低的国家。

【新闻天天译（263）】070328（中国限制房地产经纪人的新举措）

China mulls new curbs on realtors

中国出台新举措限制地产经纪人

BEIJING -- A new banking regulation may force land developers to finish projects and sell vacant holdings by keeping track of the funds they raise from pre-sales, say sources with the Ministry of Construction.

北京电— 据建设部透露：一项新的银行规定将通过追踪预售资金来迫使房地产开发商完成工程并出售闲置空房。

The developers could be required to open special bank accounts where funds from all pre-sales must be deposited and then only be used to finish the project.

规定要求开发商将预收资金存入开设的特殊账号，该款项只能用于项目完工。

Many Chinese realtors sell units in their unfinished buildings but instead of using the funds to complete construction they plough them into new projects. This has caused some developers to suffer serious cash flow problems forcing them to abandon unfinished buildings and leaving purchasers with nothing to show for their investment.

国内许多房地产经纪人在楼盘未完工时出售单元房，但资金不是用来楼盘施工而是投入新建项目。这使得部分开发商面临严重的资金流动问题，被迫扔下未完工的建筑，留给投资业主的是空无一物。

The new measure will also allow authorities to track the sale of apartments, ensuring that all of them have been put on the market. Some developers have been accused of hoarding empty units in order to tighten supply and force prices up.

新规定同时允许相关部门追踪楼盘销售情况，确保它们全部投放市场。一些开发商因囤积空置房源来紧缩供应，抬高价格被起诉。

Developers are currently not allowed to pre-sell units in new buildings until the roof is on. The authorities know that a large number of realtors ignore the rule and presell under the table.

依照现行法规，开发商在新建筑封顶之前不得预售单元房，有关部门获悉大多数房地产经纪人无视此项规定，私下进行销售。

The spread of malaria is like a two-way street. The disease is spread to humans through the bite of mosquitoes infected with malaria parasites, the most dangerous of these being plasmodium falciparum. Uninfected mosquitoes become infected with the parasite by biting infected animals.

疟疾的传播就像一条双行道：感染疟原虫的蚊子叮咬传染给人类，其中最危险的是变形体恶性疟原虫；健康蚊子叮咬已感染动物也被传染。
In sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia an estimated 300 million people are infected every year, more than one million of them are children, many of whom die. Years of attempting to cure the disease with antibiotics and quinine drugs have caused the parasite to become resistant to treatment.

据估计，在撒哈拉以南的非洲及亚洲部分地区，每年有3亿人感染疟疾，其中100多万是儿童，他们多数会死去。多年来人们试图用抗生素和奎宁治疗，使得疟原虫产生了抗药性。
Scientists are trying to come up with novel strategies for conquering malaria. One idea that has been around for a number of years is the creation of genetically altered mosquitoes that could be released into the environment.

科学家们一直尝试找出新策略打败疟疾，其中使用了几年的一个方法就是把经遗传改变的蚊子释放到大自然中。

The so-called transgenic insects would be resistant to infection by falciparum. Through breeding, the altered insects would gradually replace the population of mosquitoes capable of becoming infected with the parasite.

这种被称做“ 转基因昆虫 ”的蚊子可以抵抗恶性疟原虫的传染。通过繁殖，“ 转基因昆虫 ”会逐代取代会感染疟原虫的蚊子群体。

【新闻天天译（254）】070319房贷大幅上涨,美国股市走低

With mortgage rates rising and house prices falling, experts say as many as 1.5 million Americans could lose their homes. Rick Sharga, with RealtyTrac, a company that provides information on real estate trends, says foreclosures are at an all-time high – up 42 percent since 2005.
专家称，随着抵押利率的上涨和房价的下跌，150万美国人会失去房产。提供房地产信息的RealtyTrac公司的里克.沙佳说，丧失抵押品赎回权比2005年上升了42%。
"It's almost a perfect storm if you are a homeowner who is in distress right now. Because you are seeing housing values go down in parts of the country, so the house might not be worth what you paid for it."
如果此时你是个陷入困境的房产拥有者，那么这更是雪上加霜。因为眼睁睁看着部分地区房价下跌，这就是说你的房子在贬值，低于购买价。
The Foleys are among the thousands of homeowners on the brink of losing their homes. The couple refinanced at a low interest rate to free up money for medical bills. But when interest rates went up, Marilou Foley says, their $1,700 monthly payment doubled. "I've been packing, because I'm waiting any minute to get the bad news."
和成千上万房产者一样，佛利一家也处在失去房子边缘上，夫妻俩以低利率筹集资金支付医疗帐单。马里路.佛利说利率上调后，他们原本1700美元的月供翻了一番“ 我已经开始收拾行李，随时等待坏消息到来”
Analysts say during the housing boom when interest rates were low, borrowing by homeowners with little cash and poor credit more than tripled between the years 2000 and 2006.
分析人士指出，利率低时掀起的购房热潮中，以极少现金和低信誉度的借贷是2000到2006年的3倍多。

The juicy route to a good health

果汁：喝出健康

From pomegranate to blueberry, fruit-based drinks have become the latest must-haves in the burgeoning market for healthy foods.

从石榴到蓝莓，果汁饮料已成为蓬勃发展的健康食品市场必备的新宠。

With sales worth 3 billion a year, the increasingly exotic drinks have become a firm favourite in the nation’s shopping baskets, claiming to be packed with health-giving antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Britons now consume 2.2 billion litres of juice drinks each year – equivelant to about 36 litres per person.

果汁饮品年销售额达30亿英镑，这种舶来品已成为全英国家家户户餐桌上的最爱。据称果汁饮品含有有利健康的抗氧化剂，维他命和矿物质。现在英国人每年消费22亿公升果汁，相当于每人消费约36公升。

Now an analysis of the health properties of different juices found on supermarket shelves reveals that many of them really do contain what they claim to, and some may even help to combat chronic disease.

一项对超市各种果汁健康物质的分析报告显示，大多数果汁的确含有宣称的营养成分，其中一些还有助于治疗慢性疾病。

Drinking purple grape, cranberry, apple and grapefruit juices regularly will provide more potential health benefits than the traditional glass of orange juice with breakfast, the study found. Such varieties contain particularly high levels of compounds that can protect against chronic diseases, researchers from the University of Glasgow say

研究还发现，如果早餐经常饮用紫葡萄、蔓越橘、苹果和葡萄柚混合汁会比传统的橙汁获取更多的益健康物质。格拉斯哥大学的研究人员认为“这种混合果汁含有多种丰富营养成分可以预防慢性疾病。
