68 pieces of cultural relics

lost in Britain for 25 years

11月18日，国家文物局副局长关强在国家文物局召开的例行新闻发布会上表示，今年1月以来，国家文物局与外交、海关等部门紧密合作，在中国驻英国使馆大力支持下，历时10个月，成功将流失英国25年的68件走私文物追索回国。

The cultural relics date from the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), encompassing a variety of items, mainly ceramics. They are from provinces including Jiangxi, Anhui, Fujian, Henan, Shaanxi, Hebei and Guizhou.

这些文物时间跨度从春秋到清代，质地多为陶瓷，地域分布江西、安徽、福建、河南、陕西、河北、贵州等。

In 1952, British police seized all the items in an operation that March. They were later identified by NCHA personnel as lost cultural relics of China. Soon, the State Council, China's Cabinet, set up a special cross-departmental working group to bring them home.

当年3月，英警方截获扣押大量文物。国家文物局确认为走私中国文物。在国务院统一部署下，多部门组成“追索英警方查扣走私中国文物工作小组”。

In 1998, over 3,000 relics were returned to China after cooperation by law enforcement units, a lawsuit and negotiations.

1998年，经过执法部门的合作、诉讼及谈判，3000余件返还文物回国。

However, a local buyer of dozens of remaining relics refused to take part in negotiations, and the civil dispute dragged on after hitting a deadlock. The 68 relics remained impounded by British police.

但该案中一名文物购买人拒绝参与协商谈判，民事诉讼陷入僵局，涉案的68件文物一直被英警方扣押。

In January, the Metropolitan Police informed the Chinese embassy that the deadline for prosecution in the case had passed, but the whereabouts of the buyer were unknown. The police showed a willingness to return the items to China.

2020年1月，伦敦大都会警察局联系中国驻英使馆，告知因购买人去向不明，且扣押时间超过追诉期，主动提出希望将该批文物归还中国政府。

The Metropolitan Police Service handed the artifacts to the Chinese embassy in October.

2020年10月，伦敦大都会警察局将这批文物交接给中国驻英使馆。

The relics were transported in tailor-made cases and landed intact in Beijing on Oct 20.

10月20日，装在定制盒子中运送的文物完好无损地抵达北京。

德国的公寓/住宅区通常提供七种垃圾箱：

1. Blue bin – for paper and cardboard, greasy pizza box goes to the gray bin!

蓝箱——投放纸张和纸板，油腻的披萨盒要投进灰箱中！

2. Green and white bin – for glass, different bins for different glass colors, not available for Christmas ornaments and light bulbs!

South Korea: A role model in the effort of reducing waste

韩国：减少废弃物的楷模

One of the most notable technologies that South Koreans use in their waste management system is the electronic food waste bin equipped with RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification)6. People will have to tap their identification card before they could throw their waste into the public garbage bin. The garbage bin will then measure the weight of the trashes, calculate and accumulate it, and then send the garbage bill to the said person.

韩国最引人注目的废弃物管理技术是配备射频识别的电子食物废弃箱。每个人都必须刷身份证，才能将废弃物投至公共垃圾箱中。垃圾箱会对废弃物称重，计算并累计，再将垃圾回收账单寄给相应的投放人。

注释：

1. biodegradable 可生物降解的：指材料在生物体内通过溶解、酶解、细胞吞噬等作用，可被吸收或排出，在体内不存在残留。

2. given 理所应当之事。

3. biogas 生物气体，尤指沼气。

3 ways to improve communication while wearing a mask, from a top speech coach

Make eye contact

用眼神交流

You can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left -- the eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes. Eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.

你可以通过利用没被口罩遮盖的双眼来重获对交流的控制。如果你想增进对戴口罩者的理解，你应该凝视他们的眼睛，眼神接触还会让你看起来更聪慧更可靠。

Communicate with body language

用肢体语言交流

Become aware of your own body language, When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual. Leaning in or nodding. To let another person know you want to start speaking, straighten your posture, hold up your index finger or nod more frequently.

你也要注意自己的身体语言。当你和人交谈时，你可以通过将身体转向某人、身体前倾或点头来显得更专注。如果你想让对方知道你要发言，你可以挺直身子，竖起食指，或更频繁地点头。

Make good use of your voice

善用自己的声音

Don't forget the impact of your voice. It's not just what you say, it's how you say it. Along with the actual words, you also use volume, tone and pauses to convey your message.

不要忘记自己声音的力量。重要的不只是你说话的内容，还有你说话的方式。除了说话用词，你还可以用音量、语气和停顿来传达讯息。
