Sanxingdui Ruins to apply for UNESCO status
三星堆将联合金沙遗址申遗

The legendary Sanxingdui Ruins in Southwest China's Sichuan province, together with the Jinsha Ruins in the provincial capital of Chengdu, will apply for UNESCO World Cultural Heritage status, the provincial government said Friday. The Sanxingdui Ruins in the city of Guanghan, are dubbed one of the greatest archeological finds of the 20th century. The site was accidentally discovered by a farmer when he was digging a ditch in the 1920s. 
四川省人民政府5月28日表示，三星堆遗址将联合成都金沙遗址向联合国教科文组织申报世界文化遗产。三星堆遗址位于四川广汉，被誉为"20世纪人类最伟大的考古发现之一"。该遗址最初由一个农民在上世纪20年代在挖水沟时偶然发现。

In 1986, a large number of unique relics were unearthed in the No 1 and No 2 pits, arousing global interest. In October 2019, archaeologists discovered six new sacrificial pits. More than 1,000 significant relics have been unearthed so far. Luo Qiang, vice-governor of Sichuan, said the construction of the Sanxingdui National Heritage Park and a new museum are being accelerated to make Sanxingdui a world-famous tourist destination.
1986年，1号坑和2号坑出土了大量珍贵文物，引发全球关注。2019年10月，考古学家新发现6个祭祀坑，到目前为止已出土1000余件珍贵文物。四川省副省长罗强介绍，将加快建设三星堆国家遗址公园和三星堆博物馆新馆，让三星堆成为世界闻名的旅游胜地。

Short videos can be addictive
六成人每天刷短视频一小时以上

A recent survey by China Youth Daily found that 60 percent of respondents spend a daily average of more than an hour watching short videos, with 11 percent spending three hours or more on them. Of the 2,017 total respondents, 74.2 percent said reasonable time management is necessary to avoid excessive viewing of short videos. 
近日，中国青年报社对2017名受访者进行的一项调查显示，六成受访者每天花在刷短视频上的时间超过一个小时，11.1%的受访者每天刷3个小时以上。74.2%的受访者建议合理安排时间，限制过度沉迷短视频。

Short videos can be addictive as social media platforms keep recommending relevant content once a video ends, said Yang Binyan, a researcher with the Institute of Journalism and Communication Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. She added that short videos, often showing fragments from day-to-day life, can induce a feeling of social connectedness in viewers. 
中国社会科学院新闻与传播研究所副研究员杨斌艳认为，短视频之所以令人上瘾，是因为社交媒体平台在一个视频结束后又不停地推荐下一个相关视频。另外短视频很多是家长里短的日常，这样的内容能引发普通大众的体验和代入感。

A total of 73.7 percent of those surveyed said netizens should take part in more offline activities, including outdoor ones, to avoid overindulgence in short videos, while 50.8% suggest such platforms set up an anti-addiction system. The number of China's online short video users reached 873 million by the end of 2020, accounting for 88 percent of total internet users. 
调查中，73.7%的受访者认为需要丰富户外活动等线下生活，以避免刷短视频上瘾，50.8%的受访者建议平台设置防沉迷模式。截至2020年年底，我国短视频用户已达8.73亿，占网民总量的88%。

US security agency spied on Merkel
美国安局被曝监视欧洲高官

The US National Security Agency used a partnership with Denmark's foreign intelligence unit to spy on senior officials of neighboring countries, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, according to Danish state broadcaster DR. The findings are the result of an internal investigation in the Danish Defense Intelligence Service into the NSA's role in the partnership, DR said. 
据丹麦广播公司报道，美国国家安全局利用与丹麦防务情报局的合作关系对丹麦邻国的高级政府官员进行监视，其中包括德国总理安格拉•默克尔。丹麦广播公司说，这是丹麦防务情报局对美国国家安全局在这一合作关系中所扮演角色进行的内部调查发现的情况。

According to the investigation, the NSA used Danish information cables to spy on senior officials in Sweden, Norway, France and Germany, including former German foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier and former German opposition leader Peer Steinbrück. The internal investigation in the Danish Defense Intelligence Service was launched in 2014 following concerns about Edward Snowden's leaks the previous year revealing how the NSA works, according to DR.
该调查发现，美国国家安全局利用丹麦的情报线路对瑞典、挪威、法国和德国的高级官员进行监视，其中包括德国前外长弗兰克-瓦尔特•施泰因迈尔和德国前反对党领袖佩尔•施泰因布吕克。丹麦广播公司还说，爱德华•斯诺登在2013年揭露了美国国家安全局的行为，出于对斯诺登所揭露情况的担忧，丹麦防务情报局于2014年启动了这一内部调查。
