Wage growth lowest since 2008
2017全球工资增幅最低
Global wage growth in 2017 slowed to its lowest rate since 2008, the year of the financial crisis, despite solid economic growth and falling unemployment in major economies, the International Labour Organization (ILO) said Monday.
国际劳工组织26日表示,尽管主要经济体的经济在稳步增长,失业率持续下降,2017年却是2008年金融危机以来全球工资增幅最低的一年。
Based on data from 136 countries, the ILO said wage growth fell from 2.4% in 2016 to just 1.8% last year. The latest global wage report also highlighted substantial differences between high-income and developing countries.
基于来自136个国家的数据,国际劳工组织称,去年的工资增幅仅为1.8%,低于2016年的2.4%。这份最新的全球工资报告还强调了高收入国家和发展中国家间的巨大差异。
In what the ILO calls "emerging and developing G20 economies", wages have almost tripled in the last 20 years, including 4.3-percent-growth last year. But in advanced G20 nations, wages have risen by a meager 9% over the past two decades and basically flatlined in 2017, with a rise of just 0.04%.
在国际劳工组织所谓的"G20新兴和发展中经济体"中,工资在过去20年间几乎翻了三番,其中包括去年4.3%的增幅。但G20发达国家的工资在过去20年中仅增长9%,且2017年增幅基本为零,仅增长0.04%。
Those figures, against the backdrop of rising economic growth and falling unemployment in high-income countries is "puzzling", ILO director-general Guy Ryder said.
国际劳工组织总干事盖伊•赖德称,这些数据与高收入国家持续提高的经济增速和不断下降的失业率的局势相悖,"令人困惑"。
Harry, Meghan announce move
哈里夫妇明年将搬新家
Britain's Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, are moving to Frogmore Cottage on the royal family's Windsor Estate early next year in time for their first child's birth in the spring, Kensington Palace said.
肯辛顿宫表示,英国哈里王子和妻子萨塞克斯公爵夫人梅根明年初将搬到王室家族名下温莎庄园的弗罗格莫尔别墅,为明年春季他们第一个孩子的出生做准备。
"Windsor is a very special place for Their Royal Highnesses and they are grateful that their official residence will be on the estate," the palace said in a statement. They were married at Windsor Castle in May. Their new home to the west of London in Berkshire has formed part of a royal family residence since the 18th century, whose name comes from the abundance of frogs in low-lying marshy grounds.
肯辛顿宫在一份声明中表示:"温莎对哈里王子和梅根来说是个非常特别的地方,他们很感谢自己的官邸设在温莎庄园。"哈里夫妇今年5月在温莎城堡结婚。这对夫妇的新居位于伦敦以西的伯克郡,自18世纪以来一直是王室家族住所的一部分。弗罗格莫尔别墅的名字来自于生活在低洼的沼泽地中的大量青蛙。
Since their engagement last year, Harry and Meghan had lived at Nottingham Cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace, London, where Harry's brother William, his wife Kate and their children George, Charlotte and Louis, live.
自去年订婚以来,哈里和梅根一直住在伦敦肯辛顿宫的诺丁汉别墅。哈里的哥哥威廉与嫂子凯特以及两人的孩子乔治、夏洛特和路易住在肯辛顿宫。

InSight lands on Mars
美'洞察'号成功着陆火星
NASA's InSight spacecraft touched down safely on Mars on Monday, kicking off its two-year mission as the first spacecraft designed to explore the deep interior of the red planet. Launched on May 5, InSight marks NASA's first landing on Mars since the Curiosity rover in 2012.
美国国家航空航天局(NASA)的"洞察"号航天器26日安全着陆火星,开始其为期两年的火星任务。"洞察"号是首个为勘察火星深层内部结构而设计的航天器。"洞察"号于今年5月5日升空,是自"好奇"号探测器2012年登陆火星后NASA开展的首次火星着陆行动。
NASA's online live broadcast reported InSight touched down on Mars at approximately 2:54 pm EST on Monday after a six-month, 480-million-km journey. The lander plunged through the thin Martian atmosphere at about 2:47 pm EST, heatshield first, and used a supersonic parachute to slow down.
NASA的在线直播报告,在经历了总距离4.8亿公里、持续6个月的飞行后,"洞察"号于美国东部时间26日14时54分许在火星着陆。14时47分许,"洞察"号进入火星稀薄的大气层,隔热罩最先进入,超音速降落伞助其减速。
Then, it fired its retrorockets to slowly descend to the surface of Mars, and landed on the smooth plains of Elysium Planitia. The landing took just under seven minutes to complete, prompting the nickname "seven minutes of terror."
然后"洞察"号启动制动火箭,缓慢降落于火星表面,在平坦的埃律西昂平原着陆。整个着陆过程耗时近7分钟,因此有人把这个过程叫作"恐怖七分钟"。
