咱们用英语（打开世界交流和对话），你能愿望英语是我的第二言语吗？我的母语是中文。肖恩，恕我直言，你可以试试用中文进行世界交流？ 然后咱们来看看，咱们俩谁能在世界平台上得到更多重视。

（言语疑问）是咱们最大的应战，咱们尽力向世界传递真实、全部和多维度的我国消息。但咱们老是被抹黑，因为咱们是所谓的“国家媒体”。我一向听到有人这样说，甚至在今日的论坛上，今日俄罗斯（rt）的奥克萨娜也这样说。
?
ladies and gentlemen, there is nothing wrong coming from the state media, especially when you come from china because the state needs to represent the people. if the state doesnt represent the people, people will not watch it, people will not follow your leadership, you will be gone tomorrow.
女士们先生们，国家媒体何错之有？特别是我国国家媒体。因为国家需要代表公民，假定国家无法代表公民，公民也不会重视国家，不会承受它的领导，政府明日就会倒台。

ill give you two sets of statistics. can you guess the level of trust of the chinese people in their central government, meaning their political system? and can you guess the level of trust the chinese people have in their media? both from international sources. take a wildest guess.
我来告诉你两组数据吧，你猜猜我国公民对我国中心政府、即我国政治准则的信赖度？你再猜猜我国公民对他们国家媒体的信赖度？这两组数据都来历于世界机构。斗胆猜猜吧。
?
the first one is from harvards 13-year long survey which revealed that ?90% of chinese people trust the central government. the second from statista — all these are open source, by the way. the number has gone from 70 to 80% of the chinese people trust in their press.
第一组数据是哈佛大学耗时13年的调研成果：百分之九十的我国公民信赖我国中心政府。第二组数据来自statista公司，这些数据都是揭露、可查验的，百分之七8十的我国公民信赖国家媒体，实践数据甚至更高。
?
why? you think the chinese government is so bad? you think the chinese system is so bad? you think the chinese press is so bad? but the people trust both. why?
为啥你觉得我国政府、我国政体、我国国家媒体都太坏了，但我国公民却非常信赖他们呢？这是为何？
?
because we do a very good job and we deliver. because what people hear, what people read match what they see. and there is a great sense of unity, of cohesion because of that. and thats why china can deliver because people trust the government, people trust our media, and in return, we can do things together.
因为我国政府和媒体做出了实绩，（从媒体上）看到听到的也和实践日子共同。正因为如此，我国非常联合、极具凝集力。为啥我国能做出成果？因为我国公民信赖他们的政府和媒体。反过来，这种信赖能凝集群众、齐心协力。

科学家初度在活人肺部发现微塑料（摘自china daily）
microplasti
c pollution has been discovered lodged deep in the lungs of living people for the first time. the particles were found in almost all the samples analyzed.
科学家初度在活人肺部深处发现微塑料污染。这些微塑料颗粒呈如今几乎一切承受分析的样本中。
?
lodge v. （被）固定住
?
the scientists said microplastic pollution was now ubiquitous across the planet, making human exposure unavoidable and meaning “there is an increasing concern regarding the hazards” to health.

samples were taken from tissue removed from 13 patients undergoing surgery and microplastics were found in 11 cases.
科学家从13名承受手术的患者体内切下的组织中获取了样本，并在其间11例样本中发现了微塑料。
?
remove v. 去掉，切下
undergo surgery 承受手术，阅历手术
在科技英语文章中，被逼句很常见，如上句，中文中“科学家”做主语，但在英语中“样本”做主语且隐去了“科学家”，这种处置方法使文章更为客观。
?
huge amounts of plastic waste are dumped in the environment, and microplastics contaminate the entire planet, from the summit of qomolangma to the deepest oceans. microplastics have been found in the placentas of pregnant women, and in pregnant rats they pass rapidly through the lungs into the hearts, brains and other organs of the foetuses.

the rise of the influencer economy （摘自the economist）
influencer指影响力大的人，可以了解成咱们平常说的“大v”或许“网红”，能表达这个意思的还有一些其它词，比方internet celebrity/star。
for consumers, influencers are at once a walking advert and a trusted friend.
关于花费者来说，网红既是行走的广告，又是值得信赖的兄弟。

at once除了有“马上马上”的意思，还有“一起”的意思，恰当于at the same time.
?
for intermediaries that sit between them and brands, they are a hot commodity.
对花费者和品牌之间的中心商来说，他们可是香饽饽。

3月29日，有新闻报导称，我国家长式的声威机构正出台方案，以捆绑粉丝给网红打赏的金额、网红在粉丝身上的盈利金额，以及网红可发布的内容。
surface 作名词是?妗钡囊馑迹鞫试虮昝鳌案〕鏊妗保徊揭晡俺氏帧⒙冻觥薄?br>
tip 作动词标明“给小费”，在文中语境下可以翻译成“打赏”。
taken together, all this makes them impossible to ignore.
?
这一段尽管低矮，但信息量却不少，它从花费者、中心商、品牌商、监管机构四个不一样视点对“网红大v”集体进行介绍，为咱们的写作供给了学习。比方2021年外研社国才杯写作大赛省赛的高文文的主题是gig economy(零工经济），咱们也完全可以从效能供给方、平台、花费者、监管机构等视点去描绘这一表象，添加文章的广度和深度。

if convicted, he could spend life in prison. 这个语句运用了虚拟口气，而且它的条件状语从句中省掉了主语和be动词，弥补无缺大约是if he were to be convicted, he could spend life in prison.
?
