中国第43次南极考察队从三亚出征 三船协同保障科考任务

Three Ships to Support China's 43rd Antarctic Expedition

On November 7, China's 43rd Antarcticexpedition set off from Sanya's Nanshan Port and sailed toward the Antarctic. The expedition is supported by three ships: Xuelong, Xuelong 2 and Dayang. More than 600 members from over 100 units are taking part, and the team is expected to return in April 2027. The Xuelong had already left Shanghai on November 3 and is now near the equator.

The team will finish the final building work at the Qinling Station, a Chinese research station in Antarctica. Scientists will also continue drilling at the deep Lake Enigma, after the last expeditiondrilled through a 3,413-meter ice sheet. They will study the Southern Ocean to learn how climate change affects its ecosystem.

Chinese-made equipment will face a big test in the extreme cold, including the AR500 unmanned helicopter and the THT550 tracked vehicle. Researchers from Norway, Chile, Bulgaria and other countries will also join the expedition.

参考译文

11月7日，中国第43次南极考察队从三亚南山港鸣笛起航，驶向南极。本次考察由“雪龙”号、“雪龙2”号和“大洋”号三船协同保障，来自100多家单位的600多名队员参加，预计2027年4月返回。“雪龙”号已于11月3日从上海出发，目前正接近赤道。

考察队将完成秦岭站的现场建设收尾工作，秦岭站是中国在南极建立的科考站。在上次考察钻穿3413米冰盖之后，科学家们还将继续在麒麟冰下湖开展钻探。他们还将研究南大洋，了解气候变化如何影响那里的生态系统。

中国制造的装备将在极端严寒中经受大考，其中包括AR500大型无人直升机和THT550履带式牵引车。来自挪威、智利、保加利亚等国的科研人员也将加入本次考察。

光不走玻璃走空气：我国千公里空芯光纤双向传输，单程3.43毫秒、容量翻倍

Hollow Fibre Cuts Delay to 3.43 Milliseconds

China has completed the world's first two-way real-time test of hollow-core fibre over 1,000 kilometres. The experiment ran on a 1,007.48-kilometre line and sent 64 terabits per second in both directions at once. A signal needed just 3.43 milliseconds to travel 1,000 kilometres, setting a new distance record for this technology.

The result is striking because ordinary fibre carries light through solid glass, while hollow-core fibre guides it through air. Light moves at about 300,000 kilometres per second in air, compared with roughly 200,000 in glass, so the delay drops by around 30 percent. The new system also doubles capacity and extends the distance by 60 percent versus the best solid fibre.

Engineers say the technology can reuse existing equipment, which makes it cheaper to build computing networks. It is already used in a cross-border financial line between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and more than ten commercial or trial projects have started in Asia and Europe.

参考译文

我国完成了全球首个千公里级空芯光纤双向实时传输试验。试验在1007.48公里的线路上进行，双向同时各传送每秒64Tb的信号；信号跑完1000公里只需3.43毫秒，创下这类技术的传输距离新纪录。

结果之所以亮眼，是因为普通光纤让光在实心玻璃中传输，而空芯光纤让光走空气通道。光在空气中约每秒30万公里，在玻璃中约每秒20万公里，因此时延降低约30%。与目前最好的实芯光纤相比，新系统还把容量提升一倍、传输距离提升60%。

工程师表示，这项技术可以复用现有设备，建设算力网络更省钱。它已用于深圳与香港之间的一条跨境金融专线，亚洲和欧洲还启动了十多个商用或试点项目。

experiment n. /ɪkˈsperɪmənt/试验

例：The experiment ran on a long line. 试验在一条长线路上进行。

capacity n. /kəˈpæsəti/容量

例：The new system doubles capacity. 新系统把容量提升一倍。

delay n. /dɪˈleɪ/时延

例：The delay drops by 30 percent. 时延降低了30%。

equipment n. /ɪˈkwɪpmənt/设备

例：It can reuse existing equipment. 它可以复用现有设备。

commercial adj. /kəˈmɜːʃl/商用的

例：Commercial projects have started in Asia. 亚洲已启动商用项目。

border n. /ˈbɔːdə/边界

例：The line is cross-border. 这条线路是跨境的。

record n. /ˈrekɔːd/纪录

例：It set a new distance record. 它创下了新的距离纪录。

自己刷题正确率超85%，AI眼镜却全答错：成都男子驾考作弊被罚1900元

The Cheat Device Was Worse Than the Candidate

On October 16, police in Chengdu caught a man cheating in a driving theory test. He wanted a motorcycle licence. During the exam, he kept putting on AI glasses and a smart ring, so an officer checked him. The man admitted buying the devices online because he had failed his car theory test four times.

The funny part came later. When the officer picked random questions and asked the man to use the devices, the answers were clearly wrong, and every multiple-choice question was answered incorrectly. Yet the man had scored over 85 percent when he practised questions on his own phone. The expensive tool that promised an easy pass was only a trick.

Under a national rule on driving licences, police fined the man 1,900 yuan and banned him from applying again for one year. Officers warned that exam cheating breaks the law, and that no online pass guarantee can replace honest study.

参考译文

10月16日，成都警方查处一名在驾驶证理论考试中作弊的男子。他想申领摩托车驾照。考试期间，他不停地戴上AI眼镜和智能戒指，引起民警注意并上前核查。男子承认，因为早年汽车驾照理论考试考了四次才通过，这次便从网上买来这些设备。

好笑的还在后面。民警随机抽题，让男子用设备现场演示，结果答案明显有误，多选题全部答错。可男子此前用自己手机刷题，正确率却超过85%。这套号称能轻松过关的昂贵设备，只是一场骗局。

依据机动车驾驶证申领使用的相关规定，警方对男子罚款1900元，并禁止他在一年内再次申领。民警提醒，考试作弊违反法律，网络上的包过承诺替代不了踏实备考。

cheat v. /tʃiːt/作弊

例：He tried to cheat in the theory test. 他试图在理论考试中作弊。

admit v. /ədˈmɪt/承认

例：He admitted buying the device online. 他承认在网上买了那台设备。

device n. /dɪˈvaɪs/设备；装置

例：The devices gave wrong answers. 这些设备给出了错误答案。

random adj. /ˈrændəm/随机的

例：The officer picked random questions. 民警随机抽取了题目。

ban v. /bæn/禁止

例：He was banned from applying again. 他被禁止再次申领。

guarantee n. /ˌɡærənˈtiː/保证；承诺

例：No pass guarantee can replace study. 任何包过承诺都替代不了备考。

theory n. /ˈθɪəri/理论

例：He failed the theory test four times. 他理论考试考了四次都没过。
