BBC美丽中国英文字幕word第二集
Beneath billowing clouds,in China's far southwestern Yunnan province,lies a place of mystery and legend.Of mighty rivers and some ofthe oldest jungles in the world.Here, hidden valleys nurture strangeand unique creatures,and colourful tribal cultures.Jungles are rarely found thisfar north of the tropics.So, why do they thrive here?And how has this rugged landscape come to harbour the greatest natural wealth in all China?In the remote southwest corner of China,a celebration is about to take place.Dai people collect water forthe most important festival of their year.The Dai call themselves the people of the water. Yunnan's river valleys have been their homefor over , years.By bringing the river water to the temple,they honour the two things holiest to them - Buddhism and their home.The Dai give thanks for the rivers and fertile lands which have nurtured their culture.Though to some it might seem just an excusefor the biggest water fight of all time.Dai lives are changingas towns get bigger and modernizebut the Water Splashing Festivalis still celebrated by all.The rivers which lie at the heart ofDai life and cultureflow from the distant mountains of Tibet, southward through central Yunnanin great parallel gorges.The Dai now live in the borders of tropical Vietnam and Laos,but their legends tell ofhow their ancestors came hereby following the rivers from mountain landsin the cold far north.Lying at the far eastern end of the Himalayas, the Hengduan mountains form Yunnan'snorthern border with Tibet.Kawakarpo, crown of the Hengduan range,is a site of holy pilgrimage.Yet, its formidable peak remains unconquered. Yunnan's mountains are remote,rugged and inaccessible.Here the air is thin and temperaturescan drop below minus degrees.This is home to an animal that's foundnowhere else on Earth.The Yunnan snub-nosed monkey.It's found only in these fewisolated mountain forests.No other primate lives at such high altitudes. but these are true specialists.These ancient mountain dwellershave inspired legends.Local Lisu people consider them their ancestors, calling them "the wild men of the mountains". During heavy snowfalls,even these specialists cannot feed.It seems a strange place for a monkey.Between snows, the monkeys wasteno time in their search for food.At this altitude,there are few fruits or tender leaves to eat.% of their diet is made up ofthe fine dry wisps of a curious organism.Half fungus, half plant -it's lichen.How have monkeys,normally associated with lowland jungle,come to live such aremote mountain existence?This is not the only remarkableanimal found within theseisolated high peaks.A Chinese red panda.Solitary and quiet, it spends muchof its time in the tree tops.Despite its name,the red panda is only a very distantrelative of the giant panda.It's actually more closelyrelated to a skunk.But it does share the giantpanda's taste for bamboo.Southwest China's red pandas are known for their very strongfacial markingswhich distinguishthem from red pandas foundanywhere else in the Himalayas.Like the monkeys, they wereisolated in these high forestswhen the mountains quiteliterally rose beneath themin the greatest mountain-building event in recent geological history. Over the last million years,the Indian subcontinent has been pushing northwards into Eurasia.On the border between India and Tibet the rocks have been raisedeight kilometres above sea level, creating the world's highest mountain range, the Himalayas.But to the east,the rocks have buckled into a series of steep north-south ridges,cutting down through theheart of Yunnan,the parallel mountains ofthe Hengduan Shan.These natural barriers serve to isolate Yunnan's plants and animals in each adjacent valley.While the huge temperaturerange between the snowy peaksand the warmer slopes belowprovides a vast array ofconditions for life to thrive. Through spring,the Hengduan slopes stage one of China's greatest natural spectacles. The forests here are among the most diverse botanical areas in the world. Over , plant species grow here,of which , are foundnowhere else.Until little more than a century ago, this place was unknown outside China. But then news reached the Westof a mysterious, hiddenworld of the orient.Hidden among the mountains,a lost Shangri-la paradise.Western high society, in the gripof a gardening craze,was eager for exotic speciesfrom faraway places.This gave rise to a newbreed of celebrity adventurers, intrepid botanist-explorersknown as "the Plant Hunters".Yunnan became their Holy Grail. Indiana JonesThe most famous was Joseph Rock,a real life Indiana Jones. Remarkable film footage captured his entourage on a series of expeditions, as they pushed into thedeepest corners of Yunnan.In glorious colour he recordedthe plant life he foundon special photographic glass plates. Sending thousands ofspecimens back to the West,the Plant Hunters changed the gardens of the world forever.Rock's success was bornof a massive effort.For, to find his Shangri-la,not only had he to traverseendless mountain ranges,but some of the deepestgorges in the world.The Nujiang is calledThe Angry River.This -kilometre stretchof raging rapidsis as much a barrier to lifeas are the mountains above.WAVES CRASHBut the plant hunters weren't the first people to travel here.Along the Nujiang,less than rope crossings allow locals passage across the torrents. Tiny hamlets cling to the slopes. This morning, it's market day, drawing people from upand down the valley.PIG OINKSGOAT BLEATSHanging from simple rope slings, people have been using the crossings for many hundreds of years.In such narrow, precipitous gorgesit's by far the easiestway to get around.Once across, the steepsides mean it's still a hike.Many trek for hours byfoot before they get to the market. The immense valley ishome to over a dozen ethnic groups. Some, like the Nu people,are found only here.The markets bring themountain tribes together.To continue his expeditions,Rock had to get his entire entourage across the giant Yunnan rivers.He commissioned especially thick ropes made from forest rattanand filmed the entire event.With yak butter to smooth the ride, men and mules made the journey. Not all made it across.On the far side of thegreat Nujiang gorge,the Plant Huntersmade a remarkable discovery.Far from the tropics,they seemed to be entering a steamy,vibrant tropical jungle,the forest of Gaoligongshan.The flora here is unlikeanywhere else in the world.Next to subtropical species,alpine plants grow in giant form. Crowning the canopy, rhododendrons, up to metres high.In April and May, their flowersturn the forests ruby red,attracting bird speciesfound only here.Constant moisture in the airmeans that the branches are laden with flowering epiphytes,fiercely guarded by tiny sunbirds, unique to these valleys.Nectar feeders, these are the humming birds of the Old World tropics.The forests of Gaoligongshan are home to some of China's rarest wildlife. This is a female Temminck's Tragopan. She has a colourful male admirer.He's hoping to woo her with his peculiar peekaboo displaybut she's not about to be rushed.His colourful skin wattlereflects more light than feathers do. To her, this is like a neon sign. Seeing his chance,the male makes his move.Constant moisture inthe Gaoligongshan forestsmeans that throughout the yearthere are always fruits on the trees. Such abundance of food encouragesa high diversity of fruit eaters more commonly found in the tropics. The black giant squirrel is found only in undisturbed rainforest.At close to a metre in length, it's one of the world's largest squirrels. The mystery is that these forestsare growing well outside the tropics.By rights, none of this jungle,or its animals, should be here. These are bear macaques.They're found only intropical and sub-tropical jungle. With a tiny home range ofjust a few square kilometres,they depend on the abundant fruit that only true rainforestscan provide all year round.To the European plant hunters,these northern rainforests must have seemed a fantastic andmysterious lost world.Yet, when they came here, they would have found beautifully constructed ancient stone pathwayson which the forestcould be explored.Winding westwards into the hills, these were once some of the most important highways in Asia,the southwestern tea and silk road. Built thousands of years ago,the southwestern tea and silk road gave access to the worldbeyond China's borders,carrying tradesmen and travellers from as far away as Rome.Wars were fought over accessto this tiny path,the only sure route inor out of China,that was guaranteed tobe clear of snow all year round. So, what causes Gaoligongshan's strange and remarkable climate?In late May, gusts of wind arrive, bringing with them the key to Gaoligongshan's mystery.The winds are hotand saturated with water.They come all the wayfrom the Indian Ocean.Channelled by Yunnan'sunique geography,they bring with them themoisture of the tropical monsoon. The giant river valleys,created millions of years ago,act like immense funnels.The gorges are so deep and narrow, that the moist warm air is driven right up into the north of Yunnan. The result is rain, in torrents! Four months of daily rainstorms sustain luxuriant vegetation.The arrival of the monsoonawakens one of the forest'smost extraordinarymoisture-loving inhabitants.The crocodile newt is one ofthe most unusual of the many amphibian species found here.As the rains arrive,they emerge to mate.The newts are said toleave an odour trail thatpotential mates can follow.The crocodile newt gets its name from the bumps along its back. These are its defence.If grabbed by a potential predator, the tips of its ribs squeeze a deadly poison from the bumps.The deluge wakesanother forest inhabitant.This one is particularly astounding in its vigour!It can grow up to a metre a day, fast overtaking the otherplants around it.The taller it grows,the faster its growth rate,so that in a matter of days it towers above the undergrowth,and continues reaching for the sky. Not bad for what isessentially a grass.It's bamboo.Given the chance,bamboo will create immense forests, dominating entire areas.Bamboo forests occuracross southwest China,all the way to Shanghai.But probably the highest diversityof bamboos in the worldis found on the hillsand valleys of Yunnan.Though incredibly strong,bamboos have hollow stems,a perfect shelter for anycreatures which can find a way in. This entrance holewas made by a beetlebut it's being used by avery different animal.A bamboo bat.The size of a bumblebee, it's oneof the tiniest mammals in the world. The entire colony, up to bats,fits into a single section of bamboo stem, smaller than a tea cup. It's quite a squeeze!Half the colony are babies.Though barely a week old, they are already almost as big as their mums. Feeding such a fast-growingbrood is hard work.The mums leave to huntjust after dusk each night.Back in the roost,the young are left on their own. Special pads on their wings help them to grip on the bamboo walls -most of the time.The young bats use the extra space to prepare for a life on the wingby preening and stretching.Packed in like sardines, they would make an easy target for a snake.But the snake has nochance of getting in.The entrance is thinnerthan the width of a pencil.When the mothers return,they can push through the narrowentrance only because oftheir unusually flattened skulls.But it's still a squeeze.Bamboos are exploited in a verydifferent way by another forest dweller.Fresh bamboo shoots arean important forest crop.Ai Lao Xiang is of the Hani tribe,from the mountain village of Mengsong. Roasted, the tender shoots hegathers will make a tasty dish.The Hani have many uses for thedifferent bamboos they growand find in the forest around.Though flexible enough to be woven,bamboo has a highertensile strength than steel.Succulent when young,in maturity it's tough and durable,ideal for making a tableand strong enough for a pipe to last a lifetime. The people of southwest Chinahave found an extraordinary number ofways to exploit this mostversatile of plants.THEY SPEAK IN NATIVE LANGUAGEPart of bamboo's phenomenal successis that it's so toughthat few animals can tackle it.Yet, bamboo does come under attack.A bamboo rat.Feeding almost exclusively on bamboo,they live their entire lives intunnels beneath the forest.The thinner species of bambooare easy to attack and pull below.She has a fantastic sense of smelland can sniff out the freshgrowth through the soil.Bamboo spreads along underground stems. By following these, new shoots are found. Once a shoot is detected,she snips it free and dragsit down into her burrow.This female has a family.At just a few weeks old,the youngsters can already tacklethe hardest bamboo stemsand are eager to try.Bamboo's tough reputation is such,that another bamboo specialist wasknown by the Chinese as,"The Iron Eating Animal".The giant panda is famousfor its exclusive diet.Giant pandas are thought tohave originated in southwestChina, millions of years ago,but they are no longerfound in Yunnan.Recently, their specialiseddiet has had dire consequences.Bamboo has a bizarre life cycle, flowering infrequently, sometimesonly once every hundred years or so.But when flowering does occur,it's on a massive scale,and it's followed by thedeath of all of the plants.Sometimes an entirebamboo forest may die.In undisturbed habitat, pandassimply move to another areawhere a different bamboo species grows. But as human activity has fragmentedtheir forest home,pandas find it increasingly hard tofind large enough areasin which to survive.Wild pandas are now found onlyin the forests of Central China,far to the east.But in the hidden pockets of lowland jungle in Yunnan's tropical south,live one of China'sbest-kept wildlife secrets.DEEP BELLOWThe wild Asian elephant.Elephants once roamed acrossChina as far north as Beijing.But it's only in the hidden valleysof Yunnan that they have survived. Elephants are thearchitects of the forest.Bamboos and grasses are theirfavourite foodbut saplings, tree leaves andtwisted lianas are alltaken, with little care.As they move through the forest,the elephants open up clearings, bringing light to the forest floor. This has a major impact on their home. The richest forests are now known to be those which from time to time experience change.The Jinou people are incredibly knowledgeable about their forestsand claim to have uses for most ofthe plants that they find there.They have names for them all,those good for eating and some which even have strong medicinal qualities. By working here, the Jinou playa similar role to the elephants, opening up the forest,bringing space, light and diversity. Green, fast growingspecies are encouraged.Insects are in high abundance here, together with the animalsthat feed on them.Knowledge of the forest enablesthe Jinou to find not just plants,but other tasty forest food too. Forest crabs are common here,feeding on the abundant leaf litter. This will be a tastyaddition to the evening meal.Flowing through Yunnan'ssouthern valleys,the once angry riversare now swollen,their waters slow and warm.These fertile lowland valleysare the home of the Dai.The "People of the Water"live along streams whichoriginate in the surrounding hills. Each family keeps a kitchen garden modelled on the multi-layered structure of the surrounding forests, which the Dai hold sacred.The gardens are made more productive by inter-planting different crops. Tall, sun-loving species give shelter to plants which thrive in the shade. As companions,the plants grow better.Yunnan's forests are home to more than a dozen wild banana speciesand banana crops grow wellin most Dai gardens.The huge banana flowers are richin nectar for only two hours a day, but it's enough to attract a rangeof forest insects, including hornets. With their razor sharp mandibles, they find it easy to robthe flowers of their nectar.But hornets are predators too.They hunt other insects andcarry them back to their nest.An ideal target,but this grasshopper is no easy meal. There may be a price to pay.The Dai men, Po and Xue Ming, take advantage of a hunter's instincts.A hornet sting is agony.But for now it's distracted,intent on cutting awaya piece of grasshoppersmall enough to carry back home. Success!The white featherhardly slows the hornet,and, more importantly,it can be seen.Now the hunter is the hunted.So long as Po andXue Ming can keep up!Back at the nest,the other hornetsimmediately begin to cutthe feather free.But it's too late. The nest'slocation has been betrayed.The relationship between the forest animals and the people who live here was never one of harmony.Yet the fact that the Dai and other ethnic groups considered theseforests to be sacred,has ensured their survivaland now many have been givenextra protection as nature reserves. Ingenuity and hard workpays off at last.The fattened larvae areconsidered a delicacy by the Dai. Although these forests have experienced a great deal of change, they are still host to someancient and incredible relationships. Almost centimetres high,this is the immense flowerof the Elephant yam.Locals call it the"Witch of the Forest".As the stars rise,the witch begins to cast her spell.The forest temperature drops,but the flower starts to heat up.A heat sensitive camera revealsthe flower's temperaturerising by an incredibleten degrees Celsius.At the same time, a noxious stench of rotting flesh fills the forest air. As the flower's heat increases,a cloud of odour rises up.The foul perfumecarries far and wide.It doesn't go unnoticed.Carrion beetles arrive on the scene. The beetles come in searchof a feast of warm decaying flesh, but they've been tricked.Slippery sides ensure they tumble straight into the centreof the monster flower.There's not enough room to spread their wingsand the waxy walls ensurethat there's no escape.But there's nothing sinisterin the flower's agenda.The beetles will beits unwitting helpers.Dawn arrives,but the flower remains unchanged, holding its captives through the day. As the second night falls,the witch stirs again.In a matter of minutes, the flower's precious golden pollensqueezes from the stamensand begins to fall,showering onto the captivebeetles below.Now, at last, the prisonersare free to go.The flower's wall changes texture, becoming roughto provide the ideal escape ladder.Loaded with their pollen parcels, they can now climb to freedom,just as other forest witchesare beginning to open.Seduced by the irresistible perfume, the beetles are sure to pay a visit, so ensuring pollination,and another generation of incredibly big, smelly flowers.As dawn arrives, forest birds claim their territories in the canopy. BIRDSONGBut there's one callwhich stands out among the rest - virtuoso of the forest symphony. STRANGE CALL RINGS OUTIt's a gibbon.UNDULATING CALL CONTINUESLiving on a remote mountainrange in south central Yunnanis one of the few remainingwild gibbon populations in China. The black-crestedgibbons of Wuliangshan.They are confined tothese forest mountains,so remote and steepthat few hunters ever come here. The Wuliangshan gibbons areunusual for their social structure. Most gibbons live in smallfamily groupsconsisting of a mating pairand their offspring.But these gibbons exist in troops. One male can have twoor sometimes three femalesand all of these can have young. Often even the juvenilesstay in the community.BABY SQUEAKSRarely glimpsed,this baby may be only a day old.If it survives infancy,then it has a promising futurein these few valleyswith its close-knit family.GIBBON CALLS RING OUTGibbon song once inspiredthe ancient poets of China,their glorious callsechoing far across the hills.But now, new, strangely quiet forests have come to Yunnan.These trees are here to producean important and valuable crop. When the tree bark is scored,it yields copious sticky sap,so bitter and tackythat nothing can feed on it.It's the tree's naturaldefence against attack.It's collected daily,bowl by bowl.It will be boiled and processed into one of the most important materials to a fast developing nation - rubber. The expansion of the rubberforests began in the 's when China, under a world rubber embargo,had to become self-sufficientin this vital product.Beijing turned to the only place where rubber could grow,the tropical south of Yunnan.With efficiency and speed,some of the world's richest forests were torn up and burned.Replaced with mile upon mileof rubber plantation.But there was a problemfor the rubber growers.While Yunnan's uniquenatural forestscan survive on the valleyslopes which stretch to the north... ..just one severe frost will kill off these delicate rubber trees.So Yunnan's terrain puts a limit on how far the plantations can spread, halting at leasttheir northwards advance.The jungles of Yunnanare increasingly under pressure. HORN BEEPSNew roads criss-crossthe tiny remnant forests,the infrastructure needed for trade, industry and, increasingly, tourism. It's a meeting of two verydifferent worlds.ELEPHANT TRUMPETSThat elephants still exist in China is remarkableconsidering the immense pressuresin the world's most highlypopulated country.The or so wild elephantswhich still live hereare now strictly protected.And each year youngare born to the small herds.If elephants were to survive anywhere in China,it could only have been here,in Yunnan.The same mountains which guidethe monsoon rains northand which made Joseph Rock's journeys so treacherous,also guarded Yunnan's forestsand its wildlife.ELEPHANTS GRUNT AND TRUMPETFor the moment, the mountains are still carpeted in a rich green, deceptive in its simplicity.Below the canopy lies perhapsChina's richest natural treasure. Delicate and unique,a complex world of intricate relationshipsbetween animals, plants and people,beneath the clouds.For our troubled but beautiful motherlandVCTT proundly presentsMore information:you have any questionpls feel free to let us know.。

Robotic HandGareth Mitchell, Host: Well I finally to an exhibition space in London that this weekend was home to an eclectic mix of high technology and high art. There was even a pop-dancing robot there, but there wasn’t all, as I was soon to find out, when I dropped in at the launch late last week.This is the Kinetica Art Fair. It’s in a space called P3 in central London. And as soon as you walk in, of course it looks very visually striking as you expect in an art fair. But as you can hear, it sounds pretty intriguing as well. In fact, this piece I particularly like. I’m standing by, yes it’s like a frame really, a big metal frame about the size of a family car, and bolted onto it are two very large sheets of metal, and as you can hear that contorting away driven by a rather elaborate system of rods and pulleys, with a motor kind of running the whole thing as well. And say, as they flags, they are going into all these rather strange shapes. They give off, as you can hear there, lovely kind of restful, slightly mysterious sound. So really sets the scene for some of the weirdness that we are about to encounter here.(Voices from a robot)A huge presenter of Digital Planet, possibly, a great robotic voice. But let’s speak to a human voice. Tony Langford is the managing director of Connecticut. Now this is a showcase for what is known as the Kinetic Art Movement. What is Kinetic Art?Tony Langford: It’s all about movement, it’s all bout motion. It’s about mechanical processes. It’s an art movement that originated in the 1920s, with artist like Marcel Duchamp, and then gained momentum in the 50s and 60s, and now it’s seeing a new resurgence today.Host: So you say it’s like a new resurgence as well then. So this clearly has historical roots. But there is a contemporary element as well then, is that so?Tony Langford: Absolutely. The artists here reverence the past, a lot of them. But they are using new technologies from the future.Host: And when it comes to inspiration, which way does it go? I mean, is it like that the technological world influencing the art, or is the art also a kind of like feeding back, and inspiring the world of technology, engineering and design?Tony Langford: It’s all about people coming together collaborating, peoplefrom different disciplines working together, artists, scientists, engineers, architects, and the creativity coming from there.Host: As we heard just there, there is a robotic voice, but there is actually, I see on that corner there, a robotic hand, and I can’t resist the temptation to go in and check it out. Tony, thanks very much.Tony Langford: Thank you.(Hissing sounds)Host: Lots of pneumatic hissing sounds. Well Rich Walker is here, he is technical director with the Shadow Robot Company. And Rich, that’s not you making those hissing noises, it’s a robotic hand on your stand here. Tell me more.Rich Walker: We built our first hand in 1997, and fairly quickly we realized we’ve done something other people simply won’t doing. There are lots of robots in the world with crooked claws and rippers, but nothing with the sensitivity and flexibility of the human hand.Host: Because we should explain that this is pretty much a full on hand, it’s not just like a little pencil or something. I mean it has four fingers and a thumb, and you’ve even replicated they were the three joints there we all have in our fingers and thumbs, haven’t you?Rich Walker: Yeah, the fingers have four movements, and each of those have been replicated here, and the thumb has five. Well, the anatomists disagree, some say five, some say six, depends on how argumentative they are being. So we’ve got pretty much the same arrangement of movement there, and the rest. And we even implement a movement in the palm, so we can curl and grab something like a screwdriver.Host: But how does it work?Rich Walker: Well, if you look at each of the joints in the finger, you’ll see there are tendons coming down through the palm of the hands down to these muscles here. There are two tendons of each joint, one to bend it, and one to straighten it again. And two muscles, one to bend it, and one to straighten it. And then those muscles are driven by compasses there, which comes in through two valves, one to let air in, and one to let air out. So 24 movements, 40 muscles, 80 valves.Host: What do you make of the hissing noise, is that the fingers flexing and。
bbc报道中国游泳选手叶诗文英文原稿
Ye Shiwen: Can statistics explain her win?By Wesley StephensonBBC NewsWhen 16-year-old swimmer Ye Shiwen set a new world record for the 400m medley, eyebrows were raised about the margin of her victory, despite her passing all the drugs tests. But does a closer look at the figures really reveal anything suspicious?There was Olympic controversy last week when Ye Shiwen, a young Chinese swimmer, won the 400m individual women's medley in fine style.Her blistering final 50m was faster than American male swimmer Ryan Lochte's final 50m in the men's event, despite him swimming one of the fastest overall times in history.John Leonard, the executive director of the American Swimming Coaches Association - but not a member of the US Olympic team - called the performance "disturbing", forcing the swimmer to deny that she had used performance-enhancing drugs.Ye Shiwenhas never failed a drugs test and says the criticism is just "sour grapes".So can the various elements to her record-breaking swim be simply explained?1. She beat her personal best by five secondsYe Shiwenis very young and still growing.She's 12cm taller than she was two years ago, when she was 14, and so you would expect her times to improve.The Australian swimming legend, Ian Thorpe, said this week that he beat his personal best by five seconds when he was a teenager.One of Ye's fellow swimmers in the 400m individual medley was Australian Stephanie Rice.Rice beat her personal best in 2008 by six seconds when she set a world record.Sport scientists say that during a teenage growth spurt, there is a release of hormones that can suddenly increase the powers of endurance.2. She 'smashed' the world recordYe set a new world record time of four minutes 28.43 seconds, beating the previous mark by more than a second.But to take the case of Stephanie Rice, again, she beat the world record by a wider margin back in 2008.It's impressive but it's not that remarkable.3. She swam faster than Ryan LochteLochte was 23 seconds faster than Ye overall. She only swam faster than him in the final stage - freestyle.The comparison with Lochte just isn't that telling. It's not the first time that Lochte has been slower than a woman over the last leg of that race. In Beijing in 2008 when he won bronze, he was slower than the Italian AlessiaFillipi - by more than half a second - and she only came fifth in her own race.Lochte simply paced himself over the race very differently to Ye Shiwen.Dr Ross Tucker from the Sports Science Institute at the University of Cape Town warns against reading too much into the comparison with Lochte."Lochte didn't swim [the last leg] as fast as some of the other men in that same race. Ye's performance compared to the best men for that leg was maybe not that impressive," he says. Tucker points out that Rebecca Adlington swam faster than both Lochte and Ye in the final leg of the 800m freestyle at the world championships last year."The point is," he says, "that analysing performance and trying to prove doping is a futile task." He does confirm, however, that Ye Shiwen's performance was exceptional."At the last world championships, the top five swimmers of the 400m individual medley are doing the final 100m freestyle about 18-20% slower than the 100 freestyle world record - whereas Ye Shiwen was about 12% slower."Are there other measures we can apply?There is another measure one can look at which suggests the race was unusual. Reza Noubary, a maths professor at Bloomsbury University in Pennsylvania, has applied "threshold theory" to world records in the past.He takes the previous best performances and the amount of time that elapses between them and establishes what records are possible. He looked at the 10 best times for the 400m individual medley before Ye Shiwen beat the world record and came up with an estimate - with 90% confidence."Based on these 10 measurements," he says, "the lower band should be 4:29.01. She did it 4:28.43. So in that sense you may call that exceptional."Ye Shiwenis extraordinary but sometimes we get extraordinary athletes. When Professor Noubary ran the data on the men's 100m track race - before Usain Bolt first broke the world record in 2009 - he said with 90% confidence that the next record wouldn't exceed 9.62 seconds. Bolt's record stands at 9.58 seconds.There is a cloud that has hung over Chinese swimming ever since 32 of their swimmers tested positive in the 1990s.And only seven months ago, another teenage swimmer tested positive for the drug EPO.But none of that means we should doubt Ye Shiwen's integrity, and there is certainly no statistical smoking gun.。
张静初BBC英文稿
Welcome, my guest today is an actress she never imaged herself in front of the camera and get founds success of her very first film, since then she’s played everything from a drug addicitor to an action heroine winning awards along the way. So how did the child to once thought she was too shy to ever perform and up to is one of the China’s hottest cinema attractions? Zhang Jingchu was born in 1980 in Fujian province in China, she was sent to boarding school at the age 13 to study art, a move that she’s described as a liberating experience. The teenage Jingchu aspired to become a great painter, and after moving to Beijing and roled in stet at The Central Academy of Drama to study directing. She emerged though as an actress in the international sport 19 2005 with her w film peacock which won the Silver Bear at The Berlin International Film Festival. In 2007 she’s stated in Rush Hour 3 with Jackie Chen. She’s been named one of the Asian’s heroines by Time magazine.M: Zhang Jingchu , welcome to Mishal Husain meets.Z: Thank you, I’m honer to be here.M: Thank you for being with us, Jing chu, not many people have the success you have from your very first film, did you dreamed of being an actress since the child?Z: I never thought about becoming an actor because my personality was more shy and introvided, and I thought becoming an actor should be somebody who’s very outgoing and just enjoy to be the center of attention, but I’m just the opposite.M: You’ve played some tough roles in Night of frog<天水围的夜与雾>you playing a bused wife played a drug addictor , you haven’t shade away from , you know, roles that are not only tough to play but way you don’t look glamerous or, you know, you’re not potray in the way that have your fans much expect .Z: I think those characters are really real and strong, it’s great that you can get into in other people’s heart, and I do a lot of research as well, just want to really play this very vivid image, let people see a real drug addicter could be really scary, and still in the interview I realized a lot of people, they do drugs because they don’t know, it can have such a serious result and it’s really couldn’t quit.W: Well, one of the roles that I image you have more fun with was when you were in Rush Hour 3 with Jackie Chen, and he is actually contributed a video from massage for you for this program. What a lovely compliment from Jackie Chen, what was like working with him?Z: In China, we all call him “大哥”, it means elder brother, right? so he was like an elder bother to me, and, that was my first time shouting abroad for such a long time was 5 months seeing away, and then he would always invite me to his chiller to have lunch, and he had a great cook, it’s a, yeah, it was a great comfort.M: But he paited a great compliment in not only noting in the range of roles you’ve done in your career, but also how hard you work. Is it as hard work today is when you began and you do really have to apply yourself to every role, or is it gettingeasier the more experience you have?Z: I think in acting you always can try to improve more, and then there is so many approaches that you can try to find the like infernert possibilities of the character, and that’s why I toke half of year off to go to New York and to study to teach studio and then I just try to find like different approaches and do a lot of like imperlaizations then, I try to maybe brink my acting to more the level with more surprises sometimes can surprise myself or a little bit more.M: Jingchu, take me back then to when you were a growing up, are you very naughty child, do you used to run away from school, is that right?Z: I never really like school in that much, especially my mother is a teacher, and then I’m always just under her control. So I left home very early like 13 and to the boarding school that to study art. And I remember because I went to school like at very early age at least two years younger than the average.M: Why were you two years younger when you at school?Z: Because my mother just want me to have an early education and it’s just maybe save some trouble just put me at school and let the teacher to supervise me, I don’t know.M: See you’re actually are not many young always through your education, so when you are lived with younger than your peers when you go to boarding school?Z: Usually all my classmates were at least 15 when I was only 13. I remember the first night, at the boarding school, like all the roommates were crying in their bonkbeds because they just homesick and I was just laughing because that’s a krege I just get out of the control of my parents.M: I see you’re at all quite quite the opposite?Z: I think freedom is always just my propority until now.M: And did that desire for freedom continue through the rest of your education you went to art school and then you get up studying directing , why directing?Z: I don’t know, maybe inside of me, I’m very, if I got a notion, and I just try want to do it immediately. But just very soon I realized that my techniques were not really good enough to get into the art academy. So when I was figuring things out I went to the film academy and then had some great lessons. We analyzed a lot of great movies?M: Western movies?Z: Like forest gump, and a lot of felinings and Shawshank Redemption, and The Last Tango in Paris, a lot of great movies that I never realized such good movies existed M: Cause you’ve never seen them when you were a younger, but you were pretty sure at that stage that you didn’t want to action in front of the camera, is that right?Z: No, I think maybe the turning point was the time I went to the drama academy even though you study in directing, but you have to do a lot of acting as well, because youhave to act in your classmates’ works. And I remember when I first went to the carter I was considered a very bad actor, because the first acting class we had, we have to do a lot of exercises, maybe a lot of you also done that, it’s really embarasseing exercises.M: In front of your classmates?Z: They just make you lie on the floor and just imagtage that you are a seed and then it start to rain and you have to row then you have to just grow from the ground and then, you know, you have leaves and full of bloosms and you have fruits, And you really have to grow like physically not just in your mind.M: And did you think that was a waste of time or just you could see the point?Z: But at that time I couldn’t. It’s like, I didn’t have any clue how to do it and I just saw all my classmates were just growing around me. It’s really, I don’t know, you’re so embaress. And latter we have animal section which is more common like you have to imagine you’re a bear or a sneak, and then you have to make the movements and noices. Oh, my god!M: It just wasn’t you?Z: I couldn’t convince myself to do either, so it was a nightmare to me. And I cried really hard after the class. I was totally discouraged. But that led to a very serious result, because the following two years, just my classmates rarely ask me to perform in their work. So my acting score was rather poor, it’s very poor.M: But I guess it didn’t marthing because you, they’re wasn’t you want to do anyway. But what was the moment that actually made you properly try acting and then prove yourself?Z: That was the time when this graduation play came along, and it was a Japanese play and the character was really great, so all the girls in my class want to play the character, the teacher had to make a decision like to hold a competition. So whoever got the highest number of votes would play the character. So I thought I wanna try. And then I asked one of my classmates to director a very small but touching scene, and went really well and some of my audience in my class cried, so I got the highest number of votes.M: It sounds one of today’s, you know, TV shows the audience gets the vote. What is the competition element that got you have to hold what the actual role and the character because creating wasn’t acting that made your heart miss to beat to that point?Z: It was because that’s a great character, it’s a very sad and beautiful story. It was a Japanese play a beautiful story based on a fairy tale. For that character you have to learn a lot of like singing and dancing and it’s a very sad character you have to do a lot of monologues. And I still remember the first time when the stage lights are on me and, and then I, you know not like now, I couldn’t really see the audience, and it’s likeenter an magic world and then you can hear the audience, they’re breathing and laughing and weeping. And it just feel they existence. And I don’t know, I just wish that moment could go on forever.M: Do you think that was a value in how hard your parents pushed you as a child in preparing you for this life? I mean they were quite tough with you. Do you wish they haven’t been or do you value they weren’t put into it?Z: I don’t know, but if I ever have children, maybe I will not use the same way, because sometimes when I have to face a new challenge, I have to really conquer a lot of fears and those like of confidence feeling inside me. But I do think maybe it’s because of their way that I just, I work so hard because I never think I’m good enough?M: Didn’t they never compliment you ?Z: Rarely. Until now, still they, I don’t know they just too shy to say it maybe. They rarely like make compliments.M: But do you think they haven’t pushed you then you might not win it up where you’re today?Z: Yes, because I’m never like over lea proud and I always can see there’s shortcomings or there’s something I’m still needs to improve.M: Tell me about your own favourite roles because some of your roles you have to work really hard in picking up new skills learning music instruments some learning to play ping-pong?Z: That was my first movie peacock, because it was a really tough competition, and after few rounds of orditions, they kept me and another two girls for training before they made a final decision. So we had to learn a lot of things. In the morning, I’ll go to according teacher. And noon, I’ll go to the dialogue couch. And in the afternoon, I’ll go to the ping-pong training.M: Did you enjoy learning new skills did you enjoy like challenge or did you regard as a hard you have to overcome?Z: It was a mixed feeling. On one hand, because I love ping-pong and I love to, you know, be able to play another instrument. But at the same time, it’s also very stressful because you don’t know if you’re the final one to be picked or not. And I think that training went on for two months from dawn to dusk you know without paying. It’s I would wake up in the middle of the night. I thinking what if I, you know, I couldn’t get the part? It’s a very strong character ideal list. You know, I just totally in loved with that character.M: Did you consider yourself a star?Z: I’m more consider myself as an artister, but also you need to be a star because if you’re consider to be a star and then you might have box office, and then will have better projects were looking for you, So it’s you just to find a balance.。

The former Secretary of State is expected to use a video posted on the Internet to announce that she"s seeking the Democratic Party"s nomination for next year"s election. Nick Bryant reports from Washington.“Ordinarily, presidential candidates launch their campaigns in front of adoring crowds in a blaze of red, white and blue. But Hillary Clinton will offer a less rather montage, a video posted online and promoted on social media. Then it"s believed she"ll head to Iowa and New Hampshire to meet individual voters in fairly intimate settings, rather than the usual rallies.

这⼀次，我将不同难度的书本分成了5类，⼤家可以根据⾃⼰的实际情况选择阅读。
The little prince⼩王⼦难度指数：★⽤词简单容易理解，词汇量在3000左右可阅读《⼩王⼦》算得上是被推荐过⽆数次的⼊门必读书籍了。
句⼦简短，⽤词简单，即使不查⽣词，不熟语法，也能轻松阅读。
书中以⼀位飞⾏员作为故事树须折，讲述了⼩王⼦在各个星球上所经历的历险。
⽆论是孩⼦还是成⼈，每⼀次阅读，都能获得全新体验，是所有⼈学习英语的⼊门书籍。
The wonderful wizard of OZ绿野仙踪难度指数：★⽤词简单容易理解，词汇量在3000左右可阅读《绿野仙踪》主要讲述了⼩⼥孩多萝西被⼤风吹到⼀个奇异国度的奇遇记。
每个篇章短⼩精悍，阅读⼀般也没有太⼤的障碍，适合阅读完《⼩王⼦》之后的过渡。
The old man and the sea⽼⼈与海难度指数：★★⽐较简单，句⼦语法简单词汇量在5000左右可阅读《⽼⼈与海》的内容其实很简单，主要是⽼渔夫出海捕鱼，遇到⼀条巨⼤的马林鱼，并与之搏⽃的故事。
⽽这⼀本薄薄的书之所以能成为经典，很⼤原因是因为其语⾔，短短⼏⾏字，你就能被海明威的⽂字所折服。
另外，⼤家如果感兴趣的话，还可以找找海明威的短篇⼩说来看看，⼤多是词汇简单，语⾔精简，但值得反复回味。
Harry Potter哈利波特难度指数：★★⽐较简单，句⼦语法简单词汇量在5000左右可阅读相信很多⼈都看过哈利波特系列电影，电影中的魔法世界总能挑起我们的向往。
⽽阅读哈利波特系列的原著，⼜会是⼀种美好的视觉享受。
哈利波特系列原著的难易程度虽然是逐渐递增的，但随着阅读的增加，书中的⽣词会越来越少。

bbc英语笑话
bbc英语笑话
1.Q:Why don't scientists trust atoms?
A:Because they make up everything!
这个笑话的含义是：为什么科学家不信任原子呢？因为他们构成了一切！这是一个双关语笑话，因为英语中的"make up"既可以表示“构成”，也可以表示“编造”。
所以，这里的原子被幽默地指责为“编造”了一切。
2.Q: What did one wall say to the other wall?
A: I'll meet you at the corner!
这是一则误解笑话，因为“在角落里”在英文中也可以被解释为“在墙角处”。
因此，回答者理解为“墙”要到墙的角落里去见另一面墙，而实际上，这只是墙在表达它将在某个地方与另一面墙见面。
总之，以上就是几则来自BBC的英语笑话。

Turkey releases audio of 'warning' to downed Russia jet
2015/11/26
The Turkish military has released an audio recording of what it says were warnings to a Russian warplane before it was shot down on the Syrian border.
"Change your heading south immediately," a voice is heard saying in English. Turkey said it had tried to rescue the SU-24 bomber's two pilots.
One of them was killed by gunfire as he parachuted from the burning plane. The other pilot was rescued. He denied claims the jet had violated Turkish airspace and warnings had been given.
The plane crashed into a mountainside on Syrian soil after being hit by a missile from a Turkish F-16 fighter jet on Tuesday.
Tensions have escalated between the two countries over the incident, with Russian President Vladimir Putin describing it as a "stab in the back" and warning of "serious consequences".
Moscow later broke off military contacts with Ankara and said it would deploy its most advanced anti-aircraft missile system in Syria to destroy any target that may threaten its warplanes.
It also said fighter jets would now escort its bombers during air strikes over Syria.
The US, the EU and the UN have all appealed for calm.
▪Dark clouds over Turkey-Russia ties
▪Russia to Turkey: Don't try it again
▪What we know about downing of jet
▪Was jet downing an overreaction?
▪What will it mean for Turkey-Russia relations?
Pilot's story
The Turkish military said it had given 10 warnings to the Russian plane before it was shot down in Turkish airspace.
On Wednesday, it also put out a statement saying it had been in touch with Russian military attaches to explain the rules of engagement that led to the incident and that it had tried to rescue the pilots.
Turkey said it was ready for "all kinds of co-operation" with Moscow over the incident.
Meanwhile, the surviving Russian pilot said on Wednesday no warning had been given by Turkey.
Capt Konstantin Murakhtin also stressed there was "no way" the jet could have violated Turkish airspace, as Ankara said it did.
He knew the region "very well", he said, and the jet had not been in Turkish airspace "even for a second".
Russia said the pilot was rescued from rebel-held territory in north-eastern Syria in a 12-hour operation involving Russian and Syrian special forces.
A Russian marine was killed and a helicopter destroyed by rebels during the operation.
CaptMurakhtin was speaking from the Hmeymim airbase, where Russia's aircraft are based.
Russia has been carrying out air strikes against opponents of President Bashar al-Assad since late September.
Meanwhile, Syrian rebels released a video apparently showing the dead body of the second pilot, who was identified by Russia as Lt Col Oleg Peshkov.
Turkish President RecepTayyip Erdogan has defended the action by the country's military, saying "everyone must respect the right of Turkey to protect its borders".
He said he did not want to escalate tensions further.
Turkey is a member of Nato. The alliance has backed Turkey's version of events, although it, too, is calling for "diplomacy and de-escalation" to resolve the situation.
Russia and Turkey have found themselves on opposing sides in Syria's conflict, with Russia supporting President Assad, while Turkey is a staunch critic.
Turkey is part of the US-led coalition against the so-called Islamic State (IS) group.。
