Rise in car thefts in UK
英每5分钟1辆轿车被盗



The number of vehicles stolen in Britain has almost doubled in the last five years, new Home Office figures show. Official stats show that 111,999 cars were pinched in 2017-2018, up from 75,308 in the 2013-2014 financial year. 
英国内政部最新数据显示,过去五年中,英国被盗车辆数量几乎翻倍。官方统计数据显示,2017-2018财年,该国111999辆汽车被盗,较2013-2014财年的75308辆有所增加。


That means, on average, a vehicle is stolen in Britain every five minutes. Experts say the rise in vehicle crime is the result of organized gangs using advanced keyless technology to remotely steal cars and policing budget cuts that has seen officer numbers dwindle in recent years. 
相当于该国平均每5分钟就有一辆车被盗。专家表示,车辆犯罪案增加是由两方面原因共同造成,即有组织的犯罪团伙利用先进的无钥匙技术远程偷盗车辆,以及近年来警力预算减少使得警员数量下降。


The majority of cars targeted are high-priced models from premium brands, such as Audi, BMW, Land Rover and Mercedes, which have strong resale values on foreign markets. These vehicles can also be broken down into component parts and sold at high prices to unaware consumer.
被犯罪分子盯上的车辆主要是奥迪、宝马、路虎和梅赛德斯奔驰等在境外市场有较高转售价值的高端品牌的高价车型。这些车还可能被拆卸成零件,高价卖给不明真相的消费者。



US lost $6B to shutdown
美政府停摆损失60亿刀



The US economy lost at least $6 billion during the partial shutdown of the federal government due to lost productivity from furloughed workers and economic activity lost to outside business, S&P Global Ratings said on Friday. 
评级机构标普全球评级25日称,美国联邦政府部分停摆期间,由于员工被迫休假导致生产力下降以及外部企业在经济活动上蒙受损失,该国经济至少损失60亿美元。


US President Donald Trump agreed on Friday to end the 35-day partial shutdown, the longest in history, without getting the $5.7 billion he had demanded from Congress for a border wall. Trump agreed to reopen the government for three weeks, until Feb 15, so that hundreds of thousands of federal workers who have been working without pay, or have been furloughed, could get paid as border security negotiations continue. 
25日,美国总统特朗普在未从国会获得其要求的57亿美元边境墙经费的情况下,同意结束史上最长、历时35天的政府部分停摆。特朗普同意让政府重新开放3周,至2月15日,从而使数十万无薪工作或被迫休假的联邦工作人员在边境安全谈判继续进行的这段时间里能够领到工资。


"Although this shutdown has ended, little agreement on Capitol Hill will likely weigh on business confidence and financial market sentiments," the ratings agency said. 
标普称,尽管政府关门已经结束,但美国国会几乎没有达成任何协议,这很可能会影响企业信心和金融市场情绪。
