Face swap app goes viral
换脸软件刷屏引发担忧

A mobile application that enables users to appear as celebrities in hit movies or TV series has been widely accused of excessively collecting personal information, stirring public concerns over privacy and the rights to one's image. On the app, dubbed ZAO, users can choose from a pool of video footage and replace a star's face with their own by uploading their own high-definition photos featuring a full-frontal shot of their faces. 
近日，一款影视剧明星换脸手机应用因过度收集个人信息而受到广泛指责，也引发公众对于隐私及个人肖像权的担忧。在这款名为"ZAO"的应用中，用户可以从大量视频片段中选择一个，上传自己的高清正面照来替换视频中明星的脸。

It attracted a large number of netizens soon after its debut on Friday night, but many began to worry if their personal information would be disclosed and used by criminals amid the trend of facial recognition payment. The app's sharing link on WeChat has been shut down, and its web page said that "the page has security hazards and has received many complaints. In order to maintain a good internet environment, access has been stopped."
自8月30日晚上线以来，这款应用立即受到大量网友追捧，但在人脸识别支付已成潮流的大背景下，许多人开始担忧自己的个人信息是否会被泄露或被犯罪分子利用。目前"ZAO"在微信上的分享链接已被停止访问，其页面显示："网页存在安全风险，被多人投诉，为维护绿色上网环境，已停止访问"。

US to launch Space Command
美国正式建太空司令部

The US government announced the launch of the US Space Command to defend its interests in space. President Donald Trump ordered the establishment of Space Command late last year, making it the 11th unified combatant command of the US Department of Defense. 
美国政府近日宣布成立美国太空司令部，以捍卫其在太空的利益。美国总统特朗普去年年底下令创建太空司令部，使其成为美国国防部的第11个联合作战司令部。

The newly-established Space Command is built to "protect America's dominance in space" by "employing assigned forces from every branch of the military" and "delivering combat power by operating superior space capabilities, such as communications, intelligence, navigation, and early missile detection and warning," according to a White House statement. The new command is believed to be a step towards building an independent Space Force, a plan that still requires Congress' approval.
根据白宫发布的声明，组建新的太空司令部旨在通过从"美军各军事部门调遣特定部队"，运用通讯、情报、导航、导弹先期探测预警等优秀的空间技术提供战力，"保护美国在太空的主导地位"。据信，新的司令部是美国迈向建立独立太空部队的一步，不过该计划仍需获得国会批准。

The Queen's cheeky prank
英女王穿着低调被搭讪

A group of American tourists failed to recognize the Queen after they met her walking on her Scottish estate. The 93-year-old monarch had been out for a stroll on the grounds of Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire, accompanied by protection officer Richard Griffin. She was dressed in tweeds and wearing a headscarf when she came across the group of tourists. 
近日，一群美国游客在英国女王的苏格兰居所偶遇正在散步的女王，却没能认出她。当时这位93岁的君主在安保官员理查德•格里芬的陪同下在阿伯丁郡的巴尔莫勒尔堡散步，她戴着头巾、身着粗花呢衣服。这群游客遇到女王时非但没认出她，还与她攀谈起来。

Unaware of who she was they struck up a conversation and asked her if she lived in the area to which she replied that she did indeed have a house nearby. Balmoral Castle has been a residence of the British royal family since 1852. They went on to question whether she had ever met the Queen herself. Not wanting to reveal who she was, she enjoyed a private joke as she gestured towards Griffin and said: "No but this policeman has." 
他们询问她是否住在附近，女王说她的确在这附近有栋房子。自1852年起，巴尔莫勒尔堡一直都是英国皇室的居所。接着，游客们又问她是否见过女王本人，不愿表明身份的女王开起了玩笑，指着格里芬说: "我没见过，不过这位警官见过哦。"

Speaking to the Times, Griffin said that the group moved on after a short while and remained oblivious to her true identity. The Queen often enjoys a low-key lifestyle when staying at Balmoral. She usually swaps her signature eye-catching colored dresses that she wears to royal engagements for pared-back clothes and wellington boots.
格里芬向《泰晤士报》表示，这群人很快就离开了，走时依然对女王的真实身份一无所知。在巴尔莫勒尔堡居住期间，女王的生活方式一般比较低调：她通常不会穿参加王室活动时穿的标志性彩色吸睛连衣裙，而是换上朴素的服装和长筒橡胶雨靴。
