阅兵蓝 good air quality for military parade
More than 12,200 coal-fired boilers and factories in polluting industries will suspend production starting Aug 28 in a bid to get good air quality for Beijing's Sept 3 military parade by reducing polluting emissions.
为保北京9月3日"阅兵蓝",超过1.22万家燃煤锅炉厂等污染企业将从8月28日起实施停产减排。
为了此次纪念抗战胜利70周年阅兵的空气质量,除了让污染企业停产减排,北京还实施了机动车单双号尾号限行措施(restrict the use of vehicles whose license plates end with odd or even numbers on alternate days),这些措施有望使北京市减排量达40%。
"阅兵蓝"的说法源于去年11月初的"APEC蓝"(APEC blue),当时也是采取了一系列减排措施,包括周边城市工厂停产(suspend production by factories in neighboring cities)、北京及周边城市上路机动车减半(cut the number of motor vehicles on road by half in Beijing and neighboring cities)等。

The insured losses from a series of explosions at a chemical warehouse in Tianjin on Aug 12 are likely to range from $1b to $1.5b, Fitch Ratings said in a report on Tuesday. The high insurance penetration rate in this area could make the blasts one of the most costly catastrophe claims for the Chinese insurance sector in the past few years, the report said.
国际评级机构惠誉18日发布的报告显示,天津化学品仓库8月12日爆炸导致的承保损失金额可能在10亿到15亿美元之间。报告指出,较高的保险渗透率可能使天津港爆炸事故成为中国近几年索赔金额最高的灾难之一。
保险渗透率(insurance penetration rate)指某个特定年份内,保险公司承担的保费(premium underwritten)在当年国内生产总值(GDP)中所占的比例,这其中支付的保费可能包括人寿保险(life insurance)、机动车保险(auto insurance)以及健康保险(health insurance)等。
天津港爆炸事故中,有超过8000辆汽车被损毁,因此,机动车保险理赔将是主要的一部分。天津港爆炸事故中伤亡的人员除了可以根据自己投保的保单获得赔偿以外,还会获得政府统一安排的意外险赔偿(government-supported accident insurance plan)。
为了应对低迷的市场环境,国内保险公司近两年先后推出过中秋赏月险(insurance package/policy for full moon gazing)、雾霾险(smog insurance)等吸引公众的眼球,希望通过这些新奇的保险方案吸引客户。

Tipping the tour guide in China, which has long been considered a source of gray income in the tourism sector, is soon to be legitimate, according to a guide on ensuring tour guides' labor rights, jointly released by the National Tourism Administration and other two ministries and commissions. It's the first time that the country has given a nod to promoting a compensation system for tour guides.
一直属于灰色收入的导游小费将合法化。日前,国家旅游局等三部委联合发布《关于进一步加强导游劳动权益保障的指导意见》,首次从国家层面肯定并支持推广导游薪酬制。
导游小费过去一直属于灰色收入(gray income),国家现在出规推广导游薪酬制(compensation system for tour guides),某种程度上有利于旅游市场(tourism market)的健康发展。然而,当前旅游市场怪象不断,"恶导游"超低价拼团、强制消费、辱骂乘客,因此不少人对给导游小费提出了质疑。
为了整顿旅游市场的秩序,现在旅游法禁止零团费(free-of-charge tours)、负团费(negative-charge tours)和强迫购物(forced shopping),前阵子还对不合理的低价旅游产品(budget travel product)进行了专项整治。

People held three-minute silence and sirens sounded Tuesday at a ceremony to mark the seventh day since the blasts rocked a warehouse storing hazardous chemicals in Tianjin Binhai New Area.
18日,在天津滨海新区危险化学品仓库爆炸事故的头七仪式上,现场人员举行了3分钟的默哀和鸣笛等悼念活动。
这次爆炸事故已经造成上百人遇难,经查明,事发仓库存储了约3000吨高危化学品(highly hazardous chemicals)。8月18日,也就是事故发生的"头七"那天,许多民众自发前往滨海开发区参加天津"8·12"事故遇难者悼念仪式(memorial service)。
"头七"是一种中华民族的丧殡习俗。习惯上认为"头七"指的是人去世后的第七日。一般都认为,死者魂魄(spirit)会于"头七"返家,家人应该于魂魄回来前,给死者魂魄预备一顿饭,之后必须回避,以免影响他投胎再世为人(be reincarnated in a new body)。

现在很多孕妇为了顺利生产,在预产期前几个月会去做产前瑜伽(prenatal yoga)。宝宝满月时,不少家庭会预约理发师上门给宝宝理胎发(shave fetal hair),制成胎毛笔(baby hair brush)。
