全国人口普查 national census
China on Sunday started its seventh national census, with about 7 million census takers going door to door to document demographic changes. The census collects data including the name, ID number, gender, marital status, education, and profession of Chinese citizens.11月1日，第七次全国人口普查正式开始登记，700多万普查人员走入千家万户，登记普查信息。这次普查登记包括姓名、身份证号、性别、婚姻状态、受教育程度以及职业等信息。
【知识点】
全国人口普查（national census）是指在国家统一规定的时间内（within a defined period），按照统一的方法、统一的项目、统一的调查表和统一的标准时点（using the same method, categories and survey forms at a set time），对全国人口普遍地、逐户逐人地进行的一次性调查登记。
普查对象是普查标准时点在中华人民共和国境内的自然人（the natural persons living within the territory of the People's Republic of China on the standard time point of census）以及在中华人民共和国境外但未定居的中国公民（the Chinese citizens who are outside the territory of the People's Republic of China but have not become permanent residents of the other country），不包括在中华人民共和国境内短期停留的境外人员（foreigners who are making a short-term stay within the territory of the People's Republic of China shall be excluded）。
首次采取自主填报
When census takers knock on your door, you can answer the questions by registering the information directly on the smart devices. Or，the census taker will offer you an account number and a QR code so that you can register your information within a certain time.
普查员上门时，住户可以直接在普查智能设备上填报信息，也可以请普查员提供自主填报的二维码及自主填报码与密码，在规定时间内完成自主填报。
采用多项技术保护公民隐私

Both the mobile end and the server end have adopted highly strict data encryption and desensitization technology so that personal information cannot be hacked or disclosed during the process of data transmission.信息采集的移动端和服务器端采取了严密的数据加密和脱敏技术，个人信息不会在数据传输过程中泄露。
杂交水稻 hybrid rice
11月2日，湖南省衡阳市衡南县清竹村，由“杂交水稻之父”袁隆平团队研发的杂交水稻双季亩产突破1500公斤大关，其中晚稻品种为第三代杂交水稻。
Despite unfavorable weather conditions this year, the two harvests combined－consisting of early-season and late-season crops－surpassed 22.5 tons per hectare, realizing the goal set earlier this year by renowned agricultural expert Yuan Longping, who has spearheaded research into hybrid rice strains.虽然今年天气条件不利，但是早晚稻双季亩产仍然超过1500公斤（相当于每公顷22.5吨），达到了著名农业专家袁隆平今年早些时候定下的目标。袁隆平一直致力于杂交水稻品种的研究。
【单词讲解】
这里的harvest用作名词表示“（农作物的）收成”，与yield可以互换使用。Yield这个词可以用作名词和动词，表示“产量、收益”或者“屈服、投降、退让”等意思，比如：yield to someone/something（屈服于某人或某事），yield to impulse（一时冲动），yield to pressure（屈服于压力）；yield a profit（获得收益），lucrative yield（丰厚的收益），average annual yield（平均年产量）等。
“杂交水稻”hybrid rice中的hybrid是一个用法很多的名词，除了表示“（动植物的）杂交品种”以外，还可以表示“（使用多种动力来源的）混合动力车”，比如：Most car manufacturers now offer hybrids.（大多数汽车厂商现在都提供混合动力车型）。
对于这个产量，90岁的袁隆平院士在与测产现场5G视频连线时表示：
The fresh record means a 1-hectare hybrid rice field can feed as many as 75 people.新纪录意味着一亩地可以养活5个人（相当于一公顷地养活75个人）。
I am more than excited and extremely satisfied with the results.这个结果我非常满意，很激动。
The next goal is to promote the experiences of Hengnan county and plant the advanced rice variety in other rice-producing regions in China, contributing to safeguarding the country's food security.我们下面进一步把品种、经验在全国其他稻米产区推广开来，为国家的粮食安全作出新的贡献。
据了解，第三代杂交水稻技术被袁隆平看作是突破亩产“天花板”的关键。专家认为，第三代杂交水稻的“基因强大”，具有高产（high-yielding）、抗病（disease-resistant）、抗寒（cold resistant）、抗倒（lodging resistant）等特点。
杂交水稻技术的进步，为解决我国粮食问题做出了重要贡献。
China now feeds around 20 percent of the world's population with less than 9 percent of the world's arable land.中国现在用全球不到9%的耕地养活全世界约20%的人口。
Yuan, who developed the world's first hybrid rice in the 1970s, has set multiple world records in hybrid rice yields in previous years, making great contributions to the food security of China and the world.袁隆平在上世纪70年代研发出全世界第一个杂交水稻品种，过去几年间，他研发的杂交水稻产量多次创造世界纪录，为中国和全世界的粮食安全作出了巨大贡献。
第三届中国国际进口博览会 the third China International Import Expo
11月4日，第三届中国国际进口博览会（the third China International Import Expo）暨虹桥国际经济论坛（the Hongqiao International Economic Forum）开幕式将在上海举行。
看点一：“进博朋友圈”扩大，参展企业质量更高
Though affected by COVID-19, this year's CIIE is attracting global exhibitors in droves.

和往届进博会不同，今年进博会展区内将不零售冷冻生鲜食品（fresh & frozen food），禁止试吃未经“全熟加工”的冷冻生鲜食品。
三峡工程 the Three Gorges project
China's Ministry of Water Resources and the National Development and Reform Commission announced the official full completion of the project's construction, saying the Three Gorges project has met all design requirements, has a good overall performance, and fulfills the key roles of flood control, electricity generation, shipping and water-resource utilization.水利部、国家发展改革委公布，三峡工程建设任务全面完成，工程质量满足规程规范和设计要求，运行持续保持良好状态，防洪、发电、航运、水资源利用等综合效益全面发挥。
【知识点】
三峡工程（the Three Gorges project）全称为长江三峡水利枢纽工程。整个工程包括一座混凝重力式大坝（concrete gravity structure），泄水闸（sluice gate），一座堤后式水电站（hydropower station at dam toe），一座永久性通航船闸（navigation lock）和一架升船机（lifter）。三峡工程建筑由大坝、水电站厂房和通航建筑物三大部分组成。大坝坝顶总长3035米，坝高185米。三峡工程是迄今为止世界上规模最大的水利枢纽工程（the world's biggest water conservancy project）和综合效益最广泛的水电工程（a hydropower project with widespread benefits）。
监测表明，拦河大坝及泄洪消能（flood drainage）、引水发电（water diversion and power generation）、通航（navigation）及茅坪溪防护工程等主要建筑物工作性态正常，机电系统及设备、金属结构设备运行安全稳定。
防洪
By the end of August, the dam had held back 180 billion cubic meters of water during flood seasons. It saw inflows of over 70,000 cubic meters per second in 2010,2012 and this year and reduced flood peaks by about 40 percent, the review said, greatly easing flood-control pressure in downstream rice-growing areas.至2020年8月底，三峡水库累计拦洪总量超过1800亿立方米。2010年、2012年、2020年入库最大洪峰均超过70000立方米每秒，经过水库拦蓄，削减洪峰约40%，极大减轻了长江中下游稻米产区防洪压力。
发电
The world's largest hydropower station, the dam had generated over 1.35 trillion kilowatt-hours of electricity by August, contributing to electricity supply in Central and East China and in Guangdong province.三峡电站是世界上总装机容量最大的水电站。截至2020年8月底，三峡电站累计发电量超过13500亿千瓦时，有力支持了华东、华中、广东等地区电力供应。
水资源利用
During dry seasons, discharges have been raised to more than 5,500 cubic meters per second, providing more than 20 billion cubic meters of water a year for the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.三峡水库每年枯水季节下泄流量提高到5500立方米每秒以上，为长江中下游补水200多亿立方米。
By the end of August, the reservoir had provided replenishment for 2,267 days, with a total water supply of 289.4 billion cubic meters, optimizing production, living conditions and the ecology of the river's middle and lower reaches, the review said.截至2020年8月底累计补水2267天，补水总量2894亿立方米，改善了中下游地区生产、生活和生态用水条件。
【单词讲解】
这里的replenishment表示“the act of filling something up again by replacing what has been used”，也就是“补给；重新补足”等意思，比如： product replenishment（补货），Bone marrow plays an important role in the constant replenishment of red blood cells.（骨髓在持续补充红细胞方面发挥重要作用）。
生态与环境保护
Electricity produced by the power station was equivalent to that from burning 430 million metric tons of standard coal, leading to a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.至2020年8月底，三峡电站发出的优质清洁电力能源相当于节约标准煤4.30亿吨，节能减排效益显著。
航运
The project has also significantly improved navigation conditions and bolstered shipping capacity and freight volume in the Yangtze, the review said. By August, some 1.48 billion tons of cargo had passed through the Three Gorges Dam, boosting development in the Yangtze's economic belt.三峡工程显著改善了川江航道通航条件，过闸货运量快速增长，截至2020年8月底，累计过闸货运量14.8亿吨，有力推动了长江经济带发展。
搬迁安置
The production and living environments of the 1.31 million people who were relocated to make way for the Three Gorges project have been greatly improved, and infrastructure and public service facilities in the reservoir area have developed rapidly, it said.131万搬迁安置移民生产生活状况显著改善，库区基础设施、公共服务设施实现跨越式发展。
进口冷链食品 imported cold-chain food
国务院应对新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情联防联控机制11月9日向全国印发《进口冷链食品预防性全面消毒工作方案》。
China is doubling down on efforts to stem the transmission of the novel coronavirus through imported cold-chain products, requiring thorough disinfection of such shipments before they come into contact with domestic workers.中国加大力度防范新冠病毒通过进口冷链食品传播，要求在进口冷链食品首次与我境内人员接触前实施预防性全面消毒处理。
【单词讲解】
这里的double down最初见于纸牌类赌博游戏，指的是玩家认为自己手里的牌好，所以“加倍下注”，后来这个短语就用来表示“冒风险做某事”。到了21世纪，这个短语的含义继续拓展，多用于商业、媒体、时政等领域，表示to work twice as hard，即“加大力度做某事”，常用的搭配是double down on something，比如：Fox is doubling down on its marketing efforts to give the movie a big boost.（福克斯正在加大市场推广力度，强推这部影片）。当然了，用在负面信息的语境中也是可以的，比如：Instead of learning from his mistakes, he's doubling down.（他没有从错误中吸取教训，而是开始变本加厉）。
方案要求，在确保进口冷链食品安全的同时，提升口岸通关效率（improve customs clearance efficiency ），避免货物积压滞港（avoid overstocking），保障产业链供应链稳定（ensure the stability of the industrial and supply chain）。
口岸环节
For imported cold-chain foods that test negative for the virus, the interiors of cold chain vans and the outer packaging of the foods should be disinfected before being transported. The foods that test positive for COVID-19 will be returned or destroyed.病毒检测结果为阴性的进口冷链食品，对进口冷链食品的集装箱内壁、货物外包装实施消毒。检测结果为阳性的，按规定作退运或销毁处理。
冷链运输和出入库环节
The plan requires cold-chain logistics firms to strictly check customs clearance documents for imported cold-chain foods and disinfect vehicles, ships, and other transportation equipment. Workers who have direct contact with the foods should take protective measures.冷链物流企业严格查验海关通关单证，落实运输车辆船舶等装载运输装备消毒、一线工作人员个人防护等措施。
Cold storages should keep records of imported cold-chain foods coming in and out, and the records should be kept for at least two years, read the plan.
冷库接受进口冷链食品时，做好货物的出入库记录，相关资料和记录应至少留存2年。
市场环节
Sellers of imported cold-chain foods must present disinfection certificates before their products are allowed to enter the market, according to the document.加强进口冷链食品是否消毒的相关证明查验工作，防止未经过预防性全面消毒处理的进口冷链食品进入市场。
Efforts should go into ensuring all the imported cold-chain foods entering the market are traceable, the plan said.
做到所有进入市场的进口冷链食品来源可查、去向可追。
载人潜水器 manned submersible
China's deep-sea manned submersible Fendouzhe, or Striver, set a national diving record of 10,909 meters on Tuesday in the Challenger Deep, a 11,000-meter chasm located at the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean, according to the Institute of Deep-sea Science and Engineering under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.中国科学院深海科学与工程研究所的消息显示，中国深海载人潜水器“奋斗者”号11月10日在西太平洋马里亚纳海沟最深处成功下潜至10909米，创下国内新纪录。被称为“挑战者深渊”的马里亚纳海沟最深处深度为11000米。
