Giant robotic arm debuts at WRC
空间站机械臂亮相机器人大会

The Chinese space station's giant robotic arm, developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, was displayed at the 2021 World Robot Conference in Beijing. The robotic arm was used to ensure the safety and operation of the space station and assist taikonauts in extravehicular activities. It drew praise from the Shenzhou-12 crew - Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo. "Robot technologies are changing our ways of production and life - the robotic arm has helped us complete two extravehicular missions," the taikonauts said from China’s space station at the opening ceremony of the 2021 WRC. 
在北京举行的2021世界机器人大会上，中国航天科技集团公司研发的大型空间站机械臂亮相。机械臂用于保障空间站安全与运营、辅助航天员出舱活动。本届世界机器人大会的开幕式上，神舟十二号飞行乘组的三位航天员聂海胜、刘伯明、汤洪波从中国空间站发来祝福："机器人技术正在深刻改变着人类的生产和生活方式，中国空间站机械臂也助力我们完成了两次出舱任务。

According to Wang Youyu, chief designer of the robotic arm system, the device is 10 meters long and very flexible. Its central processing unit can generate algorithms based on taikonauts’ demands. Therefore, the robotic arm can act as a transportation tool to assist taikonauts during extravehicular activities, Wang said, adding it can also grip, transfer and install various devices on cargo spacecraft.

British 18-year-old makes tennis history
英华裔少女夺得大满贯

Emma Raducanu beat fellow teenager Leylah Fernandez 6-4 6-3 in the US Open in New York to end Britain's 44-year wait for a women's Grand Slam singles champion. Raducanu became the first qualifier to win a major and has done so without dropping a set. At 18, she is the youngest grand slam champion since Maria Sharapova in 2004. 
在纽约举行的美国网球公开赛中，英国选手艾玛•拉杜卡努以6比4和6比3直落两盘击败了同样不到20岁的对手莱拉•费尔南德斯，成为44年来英国第一位女子单打大满贯冠军。艾玛成为有史以来第一位获得大满贯的资格赛选手，并以不失一盘的完美表现夺冠。年仅18岁的她是自玛丽亚•莎拉波娃2004年夺冠以来，最年轻的女子大满贯冠军得主。

Hours after Raducanu had won the championship, she found time to send a message to her fans in China in fluent Mandarin. "Hi, everyone," she said in the video post. "I want to say thank you to you guys and I hope you enjoy my tennis. I'm thrilled to win. Love you all." Raducanu's mother Renee – full name Dong Mei Zhai – grew up in Shenyang, a city in Northeast China. Overnight, the number of Raducanu's followers on Instagram more than doubled to 1.3 million.
艾玛夺冠几个小时后，她抽时间给中国的粉丝发了一条帖子。在视频中，她用流利的中文说道："大家好，我想说谢谢，我希望你喜欢看我的网球(赛)。我现在特别特别开心。我们赢了。我爱你们。"艾玛的妈妈蕾妮(中文名为翟冬梅)是中国东北沈阳人。一夜之间，艾玛在Ins上的粉丝数暴涨到130万，增加了一倍多。
