Tech giants shine at auto show

上海车展掀智能新风潮

Technology companies, ranging from Huawei to Baidu, are stealing the limelight at this year's Shanghai auto show, which was until now the purview of global automakers. The world's first-ever vehicle featuring Huawei's operating system, chips and autonomous driving solution is making its debut at the event that started on Monday. The model, called the Huawei Inside, has been made in collaboration with BAIC's Arcfox brand and will be delivered later this year. 
2021上海车展于4月19日开幕，虽然仍是传统国际汽车厂商唱主角，但华为、百度等科技公司开始大放异彩。世界上首台采用华为公司操作系统、芯片以及自动驾驶解决方案的汽车在此次车展上首度亮相。这款与北汽极狐品牌合作的Huawei Inside车型将于今年迟些时候交付使用。

Baidu's autonomous driving unit, Apollo, is present at the auto show as an independent exhibitor, and its intelligent driving solutions are among the highlights. The company said Apollo will come preinstalled with at least one mass-produced car model each month in the second half of this year. Drone giant DJI also is showcasing its autonomous driving solutions at the event. Baojun, a local Chinese brand, is one of the first carmakers to adopt its software and sensors, and the first model is scheduled to roll off the assembly lines later this year. 
百度自动驾驶项目Apollo作为独立参展商亮相车展，其智能化解决方案成为全场亮点之一。百度表示，今年下半年，每个月都有一款搭载百度Apollo的量产新车上市。无人机巨头大疆也携其自动驾驶解决方案亮相车展，国内汽车品牌宝骏是首批采用大疆软件和传感器的车商之一，首个合作车型将于今年晚些时候下线。

US boosts 'Do Not Travel' advisories
美将提高旅行警示级别

The US State Department said on Monday it will boost its "Do Not Travel" guidance to about 80percent of countries worldwide, citing "unprecedented risk to travelers" from the COVID-19 pandemic. Getting to 80 percent would imply adding nearly 130 countries. The State Department already listed 34 out of about 200 countries as "Level 4: Do Not Travel". 
美国国务院4月19日表示，由于新冠疫情给旅行者带来了"前所未有的风险"，美国将把全球范围内约80%的国家列入"禁止旅行"级别。这也意味着全球将有近130个国家被列入该名单。此前全球200多个国家中已有34个国家被美国列入第四级别"禁止旅行"名单。

The State Department said the move does not imply a reassessment of current health situations in some countries, but rather "reflects an adjustment in the State Department's Travel Advisory system to rely more on (the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's) existing epidemiological assessments." The White House has given no timeline for when it might ease those restrictions.
美国国务院表示，此举并不意味着对一些国家目前的健康状况进行重新评估，而是"反映了国务院旅行咨询系统的调整，将更依赖(疾病控制和预防中心)现有的流行病学评估。"白宫没有给出放松旅行限制的时间表。

US jury finds Chauvin guilty
弗洛伊德案被告罪名成立

Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of two counts of murder and one count of manslaughter in the death of George Floyd, the judge presiding over the high-profile trial announced Tuesday, reading the jury's verdict. Judge Peter Cahill revoked Chauvin's bail after the conviction and said the defendant will be sentenced "eight weeks from now." 
美国明尼苏达州前白人警察德雷克•肖万被控杀害非洲裔男子乔治•弗洛伊德一案4月20日宣判，肖万被控的两项谋杀和一项过失杀人罪名全部成立。这场审判备受关注，法官当庭宣读了陪审团的裁决。主审法官彼得•卡希尔在定罪后撤销了肖万的保释，并表示肖万的刑期将于8周后宣布。

Since Chauvin has no previous criminal record, he would avoid the maximum sentence for each of the three charges, which is 40 years for second-degree murder, 25 years for third-degree murder, and 10 years for second-degree manslaughter. Floyd, aged 46, died on May 25, 2020 after Chauvin, a white police officer, held him down with a knee on his neck for almost nine minutes. Video footage of Floyd's brutal killing triggered nationwide reckoning over race, and the call for racial justice resonated all around the world.
由于肖万此前无犯罪记录，因此预计刑期低于最高刑期。二级谋杀罪面临最高40年监禁，三级谋杀罪面临最高25年监禁，二级过失杀人罪面临最高10年监禁。46岁的弗洛伊德于2020年5月25日去世。去世前，白人警察肖万用膝盖压住他的脖子近9分钟。弗洛伊德被残忍杀害的视频片段引发了全美范围内对种族问题的反思，呼吁种族正义的呼声在全世界引起了共鸣。
