但一项新的研究表明，免费送货促销可能会减少公司的利润。
双语阅读The paper, published in May by the Journal of Marketing Research, analyzed purchases made from a single large European retailer and found that free shipping did incentivize customers to buy more. But it also increased purchases of items that historically have higher return rates, such as clothing or products from lesser-known brands. Thus, returns also increased as a result of the promotions, to the point where profits were erased.《营销研究杂志》今年5月发表的这篇论文分析了来自一家欧洲大型零售商的商品购买行为，发现免费送货确实刺激了消费者购买更多商品。
但它也促使人们购买那些过去退货率较高的商品，比如服装或不太知名品牌的产品。
因此，促销的结果就是退货也增加了，直到（退货过多）利润消失。
In one part of the paper, during the typically four-week periods when free shipping was offered, online order volumes rose 11%. But when the cost of returns was tallied against the sales proceeds, the authors calculated that on balance the results for the promotion periods amounted to an average 0.7% loss.文章的一部分内容指出，在通常为期四周、提供免费送货服务的期间，线上订单量增长了11%。

双语阅读Because the pace of technological change, digitization and globalization just keeps accelerating, two things are happening at once: the world is being knit together more tightly than ever — sure, the globalization of goods and people has been slowed by the pandemic and politics, but the globalization of services has soared—and “the half-life of skills is steadily shrinking,” said Kumar, meaning that whateve r skill you possess today is being made obsolete faster and faster.由于技术变革、数字化和全球化的步伐不断加快，有两件事情正在同时发生：一是世界正在被比以往任何时候都更加紧密地联系起来——尽管疫情和政治让货物和人员的全球流动放缓，但服务业的全球化速度迅猛；二是“技能的半衰期不断缩短”（用库马尔的话说），意思是不管你今天拥有什么技能，它淘汰的速度都越来越快。
Your children can expect to change jobs and professions multiple times in their lifetimes, which means their career path will no longer follow a simple “learn-to-work’’trajectory, as Heather E. McGowan, co-author of “The Adaptation Advantage,” likes to say, but rather a path of “work-learn-work-learn-work-learn.”你的子女们将会在一生中多次改变工作和职业，这意味着他们的职业道路将如《适应的优势》一书的共同作者希瑟·E·麦高文喜欢说的那样，将不再沿着简单的“学习然后工作”的轨迹，而是沿着“工作-学习-工作-学习-工作-学习”的轨迹。

双语阅读Sixty per cent of studied fish species will be unable to survive in their current ranges by 2100 if climate warming reaches a worst-case scenario of 4-5C (7.2-9F) above pre-industrial temperatures, researchers have found. In a study of nearly 700 fresh and saltwater fish species, researchers examined how warming water temperatures lower water oxygen levels, putting embryos and pregnant fish at risk.研究人员发现，如果在最坏的情况下，气候变暖达到比工业化前温度高4-5度(7.2-9华氏度)的水平，到2100年，60%被研究的鱼类将无法在目前的区域内生存。

双语阅读Health care workers are constantly thinking about how to improve the quality of care being delivered to our patients. However, we rarely talk about our own biases toward our patients—let alone racial bias. We usually aren’t even aware of them. But they exist, and in fact, when it comes to our patients, evidence suggests that us doctors have the same level of bias as the wider populat ion. Hence, it’s timewe address them head on.医疗工作者一直在思考的是，如何提高对病人的医护质量。
然而，我们很少谈论自己对病人的偏见——更不用说种族偏见了。
我们通常甚至没有意识到它们。
但它们确实存在，事实上，当涉及到我们的病人时，证据表明，医生和其他广大群体一样，有着同等程度的偏见。
因此，是时候直面它们了。
Imagine two individuals come to a doctor’s office to determine if they need a procedure. All of the presenting signs and symptoms are the same and overall demographics are similar—but one person is white, and the other is Black. Studies show that, more often than not, the white patient is offered the necessary treatment, while the Black patient is not.Why? Doctors are sworn to “do no harm,” but the numbers are clear: we aren’t treating all of our patients equally.想象一下，两个人来到医生的办公室，确定他们是否需要做手术。

“Use of the capitalized Black recognizes that language has evolved,” says AP’s enhanced entry on race-related coverage, “along with the common understanding that especially in the United States, the term reflects a shared identity and culture rather than a skin color alone.” Other large outlets that recently adopted this change include the USA Today Network, NBC News and the Los Angeles Times."使用大写的Black表明语言在发展，"美联社在种族相关报道的加强版块中说，"还有一个共识，那就是特别是在美国，这个词反映了一种共同的身份和文化，而不仅仅是一种肤色。

双语阅读All fabrics release microfibers, whether they are organic,like hemp and wool, or synthetic, like polyester and acrylic. Since their discovery in 2011 by ecologist Mark Browne, much of the conversation surrounding microfibers has focused on synthetic fibers in particular. That’s because, as a product of the petrochemical industry, synthetic fabric is essentially plastic, making the microfibers it releases a form of microplastic pollution.所有的织物都释放超细纤维，无论是大麻和羊毛等有机产品，还是聚酯纤维和丙烯酸等合成产品。
自从生态学家马克•布朗在2011年发现超细纤维以来，有关超细纤维的讨论就主要集中在合成纤维上。
这是因为，作为石化行业的产品，合成纤维的本质是塑料，制造超细纤维会产生一种微塑料污染。
As the California study suggests, plastic microfibers are a disturbingly abundant for eign substance in the Earth’s ecosystem – they make up 90% of the microplastic pollution in the Atlantic Ocean, and are easily ingested by the tiny fish and plankton that support the entire marine ecosystem.加州的研究表明，在地球生态系统中超细塑料纤维这一外来物质含量高得令人不安——它们占到了大西洋微塑料污染的90%，并且很容易被支撑着整个海洋生态系统的小鱼和浮游生物食入。

Regulation S-K hasn’t undergone significant changes in more than 30 years, the SEC said. The regulator had proposed the revisions a year ago.美国证券交易委员会批准了S-K条例的修正案，该条例构成了美国上市公司披露要求的基础。
美国证券交易委员会表示，S-K条例30多年来都不曾发生过重大变化。
监管机构一年前就提出了修订方案。
The move is part of a wider regulatory shift from strict guidance toward principles-based disclosure that aims to simplify information for companies and investors. Under the new rule, companies must provide a summary of no more than two pages if their risk factor section exceeds 15 pages. Including many general risks to that section tends to addto the complexity of statements without providing investors much additional insight, the regulator said.此举是更广泛的监管从严格的指导转向原则性披露的一部分，旨在为公司和投资者进行信息减负。

这是由电池运作时发生的复杂化学反应引起的。
电池的寿命往往影响到电子设备的使用时长，现在这一问题似乎有一些进展。
双语阅读As every mobile-phone owner knows, after a year or so the battery starts to fade and the beast needs recharging more frequently. That isa nuisance, but a phone’s batteries can be replaced fairly cheaply—or the whole handset traded in for the latest model. An electric car, however, is a much bigger investment. And batteries are its priciest component, representing around 30% of an average mid-size vehicle.有手机的人都知道，新机使用大概一年后，电池就开始老化，需要更频繁地充电。
这挺烦人的，但更换手机电池并不太贵，或者还可以干脆把整部手机以旧换新成最新款。
相比之下，电动汽车可是一项大得多的投资，而电池又是其中最昂贵的组件，大概占一辆普通中型车成本的30％。
To provide buyers with some peace of mind, carmakers guarantee their batteries, typically for eight years or around 200,000km. Producers are now, though, planning to go much further than that, with the launch of “million mile” (1.6m kilometre) batteries.为让买家多少省心一些，汽车公司通常会为电池提供八年或20万公里左右的保修。

Can you relate to it personally? What is your opinion of its message?相关外刊文章阅读Is Resilience Overrated?I want people to be proud of themselves for being resilient. I just don’t want it to be the only option.Friends, I’m afraid I’m not going to make it when the end times come. I’ve made a list of my skills, and “tough” and “capable” aren’t words that spring to mind.A sample:No. 5: Will pet any and all dogsNo. 8: If pressed, can do dishesNo. 13: Good taste in booksNo. 20: Has parking karmaNo. 23: Most of the time, doesn’t finish whole bottle of wineNo. 36 Whatever you feel guilty about, I’ve done something worse, trust me It’s been more than four months of lockdown and I have taught myself nothing new — no recipes, no outdoorsmanship capabilities, no repair techniques. I often reflect on the skills that our frontline and essential workers have, which not only include how to save lives, but also the ability to have pleasant and professional exchanges with other people over an extended period of time. When I compare myself to them, I think: just suck me into the hell fires already, I give up.I am engaged in the status quo. I have not risen above the circumstances. I am not resilient. Although I am not even sure if I know what that word means anymore.Once, I thought I knew. I am the child of two hard-working, industrious people who opened a small business during the Reagan era. In order to not just merely survive but to thrive, I learned, one must not only do one’s basic job, but much, much more — no matter what is happening in the world. Work la te, be creative and innovative, keep going, even if you’re tired. I might have even believed that’s when the magic really happens: when you’re exhausted. We are, after all, a nation that declares professional athletes instant heroes when they win the game in overtime.But my understanding of the word has certainly changed as I’ve aged. Here in New Orleans, for example, where I am a relative newcomer, my friends who are longtime residents and who survived Hurricane Katrina greet the word “resilience” with a fiery disdain. This is a city where people have been called resilient for years, and so many I talk to just seem exhausted by it. “It puts the onus on the person to fix the things that should be a civic priority,” said Anne Gisleson, a friend and a native New Orleanian. She was sitting on the front porch of her house while I rested on a chair at the edge of the sidewalk on her quiet neighborhood block. (No. 46: “Will show up briefly at your home to provide a nice, socially distanced change of pace.”) It was midmorning and already 90 degrees out.When the levees broke and the city flooded, she was one month pregnant, newly married and learning how to be a parent to a 6-year-old stepson. Suddenly she also had to figure out how to best participate in the rebuilding of the city alongside her neighbors, and reopen the school where she worked. So many people were working nonstop to fix things, she told me. Feeding each other, making street signs, clearing debris. “There’s an expectation that we’re supposed to bounce back and that’s the American way,” she said. “And it takes the power structures off the hook.”Or, as my friend Alison Fensterstock, who lives down the road, texted me: “‘You’re so resilient’ is just code for ‘You’re on your own, sorry.’”People are being asked to be exceptional to get something less than exceptional in return: a basic standard of living. What is resilience anyway but an unfair exchange of energy? But who has time to consider these matters when they’re working to exhaustion?Back up north in Washington, D.C., my friend Hannah Oliver Depp has been tireless in her efforts to keep her independent bookstore, LoyaltyBookstore, alive during the pandemic. “The average is 17-hour workdays,” she texted. Emails, inventory management and the like, but more physical labor than usual, too, as there are more requests for shipping in this new economy.“Being a Black woman is being tenacious and resilient from birth as you fight to prevent from being crushed,” she wrote, “and now the end times are here and I am already exhausted? Being asked to dig deeper is a joke. None of this should be our jobs.”Is the idea of resilience a scam? A con to get you to do more so others have to do less? My friend Sara Novićjoked in a message that “resilience is made up by our capitalist overlords,” and she added a “lol” but I didn’t even laugh —and I don’t think I was meant to.Even as psychologists have spent the past few decades studying and promoting “resilience theory” — which posits that you can build protective factors, particularly in children, as a way of offsetting risk factors that can hinder personal development — are we missing the bigger point? What about a focus on the risk factors themselves, the outcomes of systemic racism, poverty, and inadequate educational and social supports. Are we fixing the right problems when we are teaching the importance of resilience?I am not suggesting that we stop encouraging others to succeed or to surpass goals. But are we seeing the concept of resilience in its current incarnation for what it really is? What a horrible trick it is when language is used against us. Is it an act of subterfuge for those most powerful? Let those who are suffering take care of themselves. Let them play into overtime and see what happens.I want people to be proud of themselves for being resilient. It is an act of triumph to surpass challenges and traumas. I just don’t want it to have to be the only way of life.And I want everyone to make it.In my pandemic journal I make another list: skills for the moment. Even if I am not resilient, I am capable of accomplishing some basic tasks: can walk, talk, write checks. Washes hands. Wears masks. Registered to vote. I’ll worry about the end of the world when it gets here.优秀范文欣赏1.I think the animation is trying the convey how difficult it is to push negative and hurtful feelings, thoughts, and emotions. It is very relatable to recent events with the coronavirus, and how many people are suffering. Many people miss their friends, family, and their normal way of life. As a result many people are depressed and have poor mental health. I have had difficult moments where I question life, and many things involved in it during these times. I think the message is powerful, but I thinkit could be a little more positive. I feel that people need to know that the struggle won’t last forever, and there is a light at the end of the tunnel.2. When I look at this image, the first thing that comes to my mind is the amount of pressure that is put on teens during this time. The dark cloud represents a lot of things: Struggles in school, limited amounts of sleep, activities cancelled due to the pandemic, and depression. There is a lot of stress put on students and it can get to a point where they are incapable of completing their tasks because the pressure gets to be too much. It can feel like you are holding on to so much because teens have a lot of pressure on them. Whether it's school, sports, or friendsituations - all these circumstances add up and can sometimes be unbearable, and exhausting. This is what is represented in this image. One person holding onto all this stress, and if they let go then they could break. In this picture, the dark cloud is pushing the person back. This represents that your struggles can stop you from moving forward, and you feel alone while facing them. This image describes the challenges, and obstacles students have to face throughout their teen years.3. Immediately, this picture highlighted to me what kids, teens, and parents are all going through right now. I recognized two different views from looking at this Image. The first view I see the cloud featuring the pandemic. As more and more opportunities for people and regular day activities are getting canceled or altered from the virus, the cloud grows bigger and heavier, making it harder for the person to push the sadness away. The second idea that I recognized by looking at this image was how the cloud represents depression in our society today. People are missing opportunities, learning in an online environment, not being able to go out with friends, and overall, not living life how it should be lived. As time and time goes on, it’s harder not to let all of these sad thoughts build up in our minds. The cloud represents all of these sad and bad thoughts while the kid is trying to block them out and still have hope for the future, while struggling to push the dark, deep cloud away at the same time. This image is a great visual that could define our world right now in many ways, I just found two of them4. This animation can convey a lot of different meanings as people all around the world have been through many different yetdifficult times. The way I see it, there’s a dark cloud, full or darkness, fear, sadness, and negative thoughts trying to consume the person as he tries to push it back. The more you observe it though, you can begin to see that this image doesn’t just relate to that person in the image- it can relate to all of us. Society has lately been tough due to COVID- 19 taking over, killing thousands of people, ruining jobs, and putting people in fear. This virus has its aftereffects as it keeps children from attending school, people unable to interact with friends and family, and not being able to do some things that we love. As all these terrible things happen though, the cloud grows larger and stronger. It slowly tries to consume us, seeping into our mind to remind us of our terrible mistakes. It will shut out the light and bring obstacles our way as we slowly break. It tries to convinceus that we should be sad and angry. Some people decided to give up fighting this cloud and let it take control of their body. Others hadn’t-they allowed this challenge to make them grow, becoming stronger yet happier each day. With this new feeling of energy, I believe they can overcome any obstacle headed their way. This dark cloud can represent any bad thing that happened in our lives, but it’s our choice to fight for happiness even when the darkest hours are among us.5. Right away, while it may not be obvious, I know that this image is all about perspective. I see two takes on this image of the billowing, dark cloud; the societal and the individual view. Pertaining to society, the cloud is representative of what currently taunts us: working or learning from home, being unable interact with friends and family in person, and the inability to experience concerts or sporting events. In a world where nothingis how it used to be just one year ago, the cloud has grown bigger than ever, threatening to take over everything. While this cloudis ever so enormous in society currently, we all have a personal dark cloud that is always trying to crowd out all the sunshine. Family situations, friend problems, school and work stress, high stakes of a sport, and so much more little and large things form the grey mass. Individually, we try and force it away. But it seems lately, due to the challenges we are facing as a whole, many of us have waved the white flag and let it take over.Interestingly enough, however, others have finally been able to push it away, and only let it creep in a tiny bit. They may have viewed this time as a gift, a time where they can work on themselves or something they are passionate about. They have thrived. With that, I feel that this image highlights the negative effects that this pandemic has had on mental health, but fails to embrace that some have been successful during this time of uncertainty.6. The picture to me is a lot of bad, horrendous times that inthis case this character is trying to push them all away. A lot of bad happens in my life, and everyone else’s lives as well, and there needs to be strength and perseverance to get through the tough times:“This article is part of a series on resilience in troubled times“ (Attenberg). Reading further into the picture, I realized that especially this year and right now, everyone currently is and has struggled with this big pandemic that we have all been quarantined because of. There has to have been a lot of adaptation and resilience through these tough times for all of us, just because we are not be able to come in contact we may have needed to, we were not be able to gather all the supplies we needed, and we were not be able to go through all of our normsthat we all used to do, everyday in our lives. This picture conveys it perfectly. There is this individual who is separated, all by themselves, and they need to get out of this deep dark time they are trapped in. There is light behind all of this darkness, and the individual represented in this picture knows that there is good if they can get through all the tough times. That individual represented is each and every one of us.。
