“养老保险”衔接
人社部就《城乡养老保险制度衔接暂行办法》公开征求意见,《办法》提出,我国职工养老保险、新农保以及城镇居民养老保险将实现衔接转换,缴费年限也将明确换算办法。请看相关报道:
The draft regulation was released on Monday by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security to ensure conditional transfers of the country's three types of social endowment insurances and to benefit the potential 750 million residents who joined at least one of the three programs.人社部周一发布的办法草案是为了确保我国三种不同养老保险体系可有条件转换,以惠及
7.5亿参保人员。
Endowment insurance就是“养老保险”,我国有三种不同的养老保险体系,分别为basic endowment insurance for the urban working group(城镇职工基本养老保险)、new rural social endowment insurance for rural residents(新型农村社会养老保险),以及social endowment insurance for non-working urban residents(针对城镇无业人员的社会养老保险)。三个体系中的premium(缴费)和领到的pension(养老金)也有所不同。
《办法》提出,只要缴费满15年,参保人员无论是从新农保或城居保转入职保,还是从职保转入新农保或城居保,都将个人账户(individual accounts)全部储存额随同转移,包括government subsidies(政府补贴)。
我们平时所说的“五险一金”除了endowment insurance(养老保险)外,还有medical insurance(医疗保险)、unemployment insurance(失业保险)、employment injury insurance(工伤保险)、maternity insurance(生育保险),以及 housing fund(住房公积金)。
11月24日,中国首艘航母“辽宁舰”成功起降歼-15舰载机,让广大军迷激动万分。其中,报道视频中出现的中国航母地勤指挥歼-15起飞姿势受到网友追捧,并称之为“航母Style”。请看相关报道:
Nicknamed “Carrier Style,” it was deemed “cool, powerful and confident as well as amusing and comical” by netizens who uploaded pictures showing various takes on the gesture.很多网友都上传了各自模仿“航母style”的手势照片,还将其描述为“酷,强势,自信又带有娱乐和喜剧效果”。
Carrier Style就是这两天热门的“航母style”,其实是中国首艘aircraft carrier(航母)的两位crew members(地勤人员)指挥歼-15舰载战斗机take-off and landing maneuver
(起降演练)时使用的手势。
此次“辽宁舰”成功起降歼-15舰载机采用的是ski-jump type take-off(滑跃起飞)而没有使用catapult system(弹射系统),使中国成为少数几个掌握了固定翼飞机(fixed-wing jets)航母起降技术的国家之一。
婚姻保险 marriage protection insurance
一线城市离婚率已经超过四成,王石、董洁等名人婚变的消息更是轮番轰炸人们脆弱的神经。一些保险公司趁机推出了不同名目的“婚姻保险”,称婚姻越长久,收益就越丰厚。请看《中国日报》的报道:
An example on a booklet about marriage protection insurance says if a husband pays 500,000 yuan($80,000)to buy a 50-year-term policy, the yield will be 4 million yuan if the marriage is still alive when the term ends.婚姻保险宣传册上的一个案例说,如果丈夫花50万元买一份50年期的保险,这份保险到期时如果婚姻还在持续,那么他们将获得400万元的收益。
Marriage protection insurance就是最近热门的“婚姻保险”,保险公司产品称为marriage policy,也被人戏称为concubine-proof policy(防小三险)。这种保险的policy holder(投保人)为丈夫,insurance payoff(保险赔付)的受益人为妻子。
在保险领域,policy一词指“保单、保险契约”,如:motor insurance policy(车辆保险单)。有些分红型的保险还会定期给客户发放dividend(红利)。加沙“停火”
以色列与巴勒斯坦各武装派别(包括哈马斯)已达成停火协议,协议于加沙当地时间21日21时(北京时间22日凌晨3时)开始生效。
请看相关报道:
Israel and Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip have reached a cease-fire agreement to end eight days of fighting, Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Kamel Amr announced in the Egyptian capital of Cairo on Wednesday afternoon.埃及外长阿姆鲁周三下午在开罗宣布,以色列和加沙地带的巴勒斯坦武装派别已达成停火协议,持续8天的冲突得以结束。
Cease-fire agreement就是“停火协议”,也可以用truce来表示,两个表达均有“暂时停止”之意。此次巴以停火主要由埃及从中斡旋,“斡旋”一词在英语中可用broker或mediate来表示,比如:The truce, brokered/mediated by Egypt, takes effect at 09:00 pm Gaza time on Wednesday(由埃及斡旋的此次停火协议于加沙当地时间周三晚九点开始生效)。
以色列方面同意停止陆海空三方面的military action(军事行动)以及targeted killings(定点清除);巴勒斯坦方面同意停止向以色列境内launch miiles(发射导弹),并停止对边境地区士兵的袭击。
央视“广告时段”招标
2013年中央电视台黄金资源广告招标预售总额158.8134亿元,比去年增长16.2377亿元,增长率达11.39%,创19年来最高纪录。请看《中国日报》的报道:
The auction for advertising slots in 2013 held on Sunday by China's top TV broadcaster earned a total of 15.88 billion yuan($2.55 billion), up 11.4 percent year-on-year.2013年中央电视台广告时段招标拍卖总额达158.8亿元,比上年增长11.4%。
Advertising slot就是指“广告时段”,《新闻联播》等高收视率节目前后的时段都是prime slot(黄金时段)。Slot这个词平时常见的意思为“投币口”,在这里指“时段”,如:peak evening viewing slot(晚间高峰收视时段)。央视每年的advertising bidding(广告招标)都能引来大批企业竞争,并产生广告。
企业在电视上做广告除了放在commercial break(广告时段)以外,还可以购买某个节目的exclusive naming right(独家冠名权),或者在电视节目中添加 任意按键
