　　DON'T MOVE TOO FAST

　　别进展太快

　　It can be tempting to want to blow through the honeymoon stage and quickly settle into a comfortable routine or worse, do something drastic like move in together too soon.

　　匆忙度过蜜月阶段，迅速进入更舒适或者糟糕的下一阶段，这很有诱惑力，那就做点儿激进的事吧，比如过早地同居。

　　But wanting to spend every second together could be the death knell for your partner - so don't drop your whole life for them.

　　但想分分秒秒粘在一起可能导致分手，所以别为恋人倾注所有。

　　Make sure to spend a few nights alone, continue to make time for the things you love and still go out with your friends.

　　一定要独处几个晚上，继续腾出时间做你喜欢的事，仍与你朋友出去玩。

　　It's important to retain a little mystery to keep things exciting, says Meredith Fineman, founder of Fifty First (J)Dates.

　　初恋50次(交友网)创始人梅雷迪思・法恩曼说，重要的是要保持点神秘，保持住激情。

　　DON'T ASSUME THEY'RE PERFECT

　　别把伴侣理想化

　　In the early days of a new relationship, you always try a little - or a lot - harder to impress your new partner.

　　新关系早期，你总或多或少会更努力地尝试打动你的新伴侣。

　　But don't expect that they will maintain those standards and give the relationship a bit more time before deciding if they're the one.

　　但别指望他们会一直符合这些标准，在决定是否找对了人之前，给恋情发展多一点时间。

　　Kate Figes, author of books including 'Couples: How We Make Love Last', says it's important to understand and accep...

　　-How foundation, bronzer and eyeshadow could be adding YEARS to your face.

　　——粉底、侧影粉和眼影是怎么让你的脸看起来更老的?

　　• Makeup artists have shared the classic errors that women make

　　化妆师们分享了一些女性化妆时的典型错误

　　• Top tips include never applying mascara to your lower lashline

　　顶级技巧包括决不用睫毛膏涂你的下眼线

　　• You should also avoid contouring and glittery eyeshadow completely

　　你也应该完全避免画轮廓眼影和闪闪发光的眼影

　　Whether it's the way you apply blusher or how much mascara you lash on, makeup artists say that women make common mistakes every single day that could cause them to look years older.

　　可能是你用化妆刷的方法不对，也可能是你涂了太多睫毛膏，化妆师说每天女性都会犯一些常见的错误，而这些错误会使她们看起来老了几岁。

　　Celebrity make-up artist, Mikey Phillips, says the most ageing thing a woman can do is apply a mismatched concealer - either one that is too light or too dark.

　　著名化妆师Mikey Phillips说，女性做的最容易让自己显老的事是用了不匹配自己肤色的遮瑕膏——太亮或者太暗都不好。

　　Sharing his advice for the most youthful application, he said: 'Match it to your skin tone and use a little and blend into the skin. Always be sure to steer well clear of cakey, dry formulations and opt for a light reflecting, hydrating one.'

　　在跟初学化妆的人分享建议时，他说：“将遮瑕膏与你的肤色相匹配，再在你的皮肤上涂抹均匀使其融入皮肤。请一定要避免使用凝固的、干燥的配方，尽量选择反光、保湿的遮瑕膏。”

　　Thirteen years ago, a deadly strain of avian flu known as H5N1 was tearing through Asia's bird populations. In January 2004, Chinese scientists reported that pigs too had become infected with the virus—an alarming development, since pigs are susceptible to human viruses and could potentially act as a "mixing vessel" that would allow the virus to jump to humans.

　　13年前，一股名为H5N1的致命禽流感在亚洲鸟类中肆虐流行。2004年1月，中国科学家的报告称：猪也会感染这种病毒——这是一项很有警示作用的进展，因为猪很容易感染人类的病毒，而且可能会充当“混合容器”，最终使病毒传染到人类身上。

　　Yet at the time, little attention was paid outside of China—because the study was published only in Chinese, in a small Chinese journal of veterinary medicine. It wasn't until August of that year that the World Health Organization and the United Nations learned of the study's results and rushed to have it translated.

　　然而，当时在中国以外只有很少人关注，因为研究报告是用中文写的，刊登在中国一份小型兽医期刊上。直到当年的8月份，世界卫生组织和联合国才得知报告结果，紧急请人翻译。

　　Those scientists and policy makers ran headlong into one of science's biggest unsolved dilemmas: language. A new study in the journal PLOS Biology sheds light on how widespread the gulf can be between English-language science and any-other-language science, and how that gap can lead to situations like the avian flu case, or worse.

　　那些科学家和政策制定者们都一头扎进了科学界最难的一个未解悖论中：语言。PLOS Biology杂志的一项新研究关注了英语(精品课)语言科学和其它语言科学之间有多大的鸿沟，以及这种鸿沟会如何导致出现像禽流感案例这样甚至是更糟的情况。

　　Constructive Actions Hailed in Dealing with Syrian Crisis

　　钟声

　　Zhong Sheng

　　北京时间12月19日晚，联合国安理会以15票赞成一致通过了关于叙利亚人道主义监督问题的第2328号决议。该决议着眼于缓解叙利亚人道危机，支持联合国继续在叙人道救援行动中发挥重要协调作用，是安理会近几个月来数度就叙利亚问题陷入分裂后首次就该问题达成一致，实属来之不易。

　　On December 19, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted the Resolution 2328 that aims to relieve the humanitarian crisis in Syria and support UN to play a coordinative role in the future. The hard-won consensus is the first one on Syrian crisis adopted by UNSC after months of disagreement.

　　叙利亚危机已延宕6年，当前的人道局势的确堪忧。对于解决叙利亚人道危机，安理会成员是存在基本共识的，安理会本应能够就此采取应有的行动。但由于一些国家将人道主义问题政治化并作为施压工具，不愿耐心听取和照顾其他国家的正当、合理关切，甚至在安理会成员尚存分歧的情况下强行推动表决，导致安理会迟迟未能有所作为。这种做法对缓解叙利亚人道危机没有任何益处，对于维护安理会的信誉没有任何益处。

　　Humanitarian situation is severe in Syria after six years of turmoil. With basic consensus among members of the UNSC, the UN could have taken actions to relieve the crisis.

　　However, some countries had politicized the humanitarian issue and ignored other countries’ reasonable concerns. Such practice has detained measures that could have been taken by the UNSC. It was of no benefit for the relief of Syrian humanitarian crisis and hurt the authority of UNSC as well.

　　在第2328号决议磋商过程中，中国坚持原则，建设性地参与磋商，积极在安理会成员间开展斡旋，呼吁各方相向而行，力求推动安理会最大程度达成共识，把工作做到了最后一刻，发挥了建...

　　Launching a career as a novelist seems like an impossible dream to many — let alone doing so in a second or third language. But that’s exactly what Yiyun Li did after she graduated from college, moving from Beijing to the U.S. to study immunology at the University of Iowa; once there, she wound up honing her fiction-writing skills at the prestigious Iowa Writers’ Workshop.

　　对许多人来说，要做一名职业小说家似乎就像一个不可能的梦想，更不用说用第二种语言或第三种语言来写小说了。但这正是李翊雲所从事的工作。大学毕业后，她从北京来到美国爱荷华大学学习免疫学。一到那儿，她就兴奋地来到享有盛誉的爱荷华作家工作室训练自己的小说写作技巧。

　　In a poignant essay for The New Yorker, Li, now the acclaimed author of several novels and short story collections written entirely in English, meditates on what leaving Chinese behind and embracing a new language has meant for her:

　　如今，李翊雲已创作了几部完全用英语(精品课)写成的小说和短篇故事集，而她也成为了备受欢迎的作家。她曾在《纽约客》上刊载了一篇深刻的文章，在文中思考放弃汉语，使用一门新的语言对她来说意味着什么：

　　Over the years, my brain has banished Chinese. I dream in English. I talk to myself in English. And memories—not only those about America but also those about China; not only those carried with me but also those archived with the wish to forget—are sorted in English. To be orphaned from my native language felt, and still feels, like a crucial decision.

　　多年来，我的大脑已经摒弃了汉语。我用英语做梦，用英语自言自语。而我的记忆，不仅是那些关于美国的记忆，还有那些关于中国的记忆;无论是那些我记住的，还是那些我希望存档并忘记的记忆都是用英语来分类的。要放弃母语，不论是过去还是现在，我依然觉得像是做出了一个重大的决定。

　　A New York City restaurant is taking a stab at creating the most decadent pizza on the market with a pie topped in gold flakes, foie gras and even truffles.

　　纽约的一家餐馆正在尝试制作市面上最“腐败”的披萨，这种披萨表面覆盖了黄金薄片、鹅肝和松露。

　　The 24K pizza is available at Industry Kitchen, an eatery in New York City's South Street Seaport, for a whopping $2,000 and, as the name would suggest, is noted for being covered in flakes of 24-karat gold.

　　Industry Kitchen是位于纽约市南街海港的一间餐厅，你可以在这里购买到这款24K黄金比萨，其售价高达2000美元。顾名思义，黄金披萨因为覆盖了24k黄金金片而闻名。

　　All held together with imported white stilton cheese, the flakes are interspersed on the pie with dollops of Ossetra caviar from the Caspian Sea as well as truffles and Fois Gras from France.

　　黄金披萨中使用了进口白斯第尔顿奶酪、表面的金箔上点缀有里海俄罗斯鲟鱼子酱、法国松露和鹅肝。

　　Sliced into eight pieces, the pizza works out to $250 per slice, meaning it costs roughly $50 per bite.

　　如果将其切成八片，每片的价值就是250美元，相当于每一口大约值50美元。

　　Talking to Town & Country, Industry Kitchen Executive Chef Braulio Bunay said he was inspired to create the pizza by the city's Financial District, which he described as 'the epitome of decadence'.

　　Industry Kitchen的行政主厨布劳略•布耐对《城里城外》杂志表示，这份披萨的灵感来源于纽约的金融区，他将那里称为“堕落的缩影”。

　　'The pizza is extremely rich - if you're in the mood for a lavish meal, this is the pizza for you,' he said.

　　1. Brag about salary

　　1、吹嘘工资

　　If your new job has resulted in a significant pay increase, that’s good for you. However, it’s rude and inappropriate to share that information with your new co-workers. So keep your happy news to yourself. Remaining tight-lipped may help you avoid resentment and unnecessary strife.

　　如果你的新工作使你的收入大增，那这对你来说是件好事。但是，与你的新同事分享这些是莽撞和不恰当的。所以，就把这个好消息留给自己吧!守口如瓶可能有助于你免于怨恨和不必要的冲突。

　　2. Bad-mouth your former employer

　　2、对你以前的雇主恶语相向

　　It’s not OK to speak poorly of your former employer. This will leave a very bad impression on your workmates. Even if you worked for the worst company, and you still harbor some resentment, you need to keep quiet about your true feelings. Gossip is just not classy.

　　不要说你之前的雇主的坏话。这会给你的同事们留下一个很差的印象。即使你以前在一家最糟糕的公司上班，你也需要对你的真实感受保持沉默。说长道短非君子所为。

　　3. Express desperation

　　3、表达绝望

　　Even if you were on the brink of losing your home and you just finished clearing out your life savings before getting this job, don’t let everyone in the office know that. Oversharing is unprofessional. It might even cause others to treat you poorly because they’ll know that you would do anything to keep your job because you’re in a financial bind. Just be (quietl...
