Lei Feng-themed restaurant
肯德基开雷锋主题餐厅

Kentucky Fried Chicken has launched a new themed branch in honor of Lei Feng, a legendary soldier celebrated in China for his selflessness and modesty, in his hometown Changsha, Hunan province. 
每年的3月5日是"全国学雷锋纪念日"，弘扬与人为善、助人为乐的雷锋精神。

The restaurant opened on Sunday, two days before the official remembrance day marked across the country every year on March 5 when people celebrate his spirits by showing goodwill and giving helping hand to others. 
3月3日，雷锋的故乡湖南长沙新开了一家肯德基雷锋主题餐厅，纪念这位无私谦逊的传奇战士。

At the entrance to the restaurant stands two big Lei-like statues and the interior is decorated with Lei's cartoon portraits and quotes from his diary. He Min, general manager of KFC in Hunan province, said that in addition to the themed restaurant, they will also launch a project dedicated to Lei's virtues in 250 outlets across the province, including providing free drinking water and resting places for janitors. 
餐厅入口处有两座雷锋样貌的雕像，厅内多处展示着雷锋的卡通画像以及他日记中的名言警句。肯德基湖南市场总经理贺民表示，除了打造主题餐厅，他们还将在全省250家分店开展一项弘扬雷锋精神的计划，包括为清洁工提供免费饮用水及歇脚场地等。

2nd man free of HIV virus
'伦敦病人'摆脱艾滋病毒

An HIV-positive man in Britain has become the second known adult worldwide to be cleared of the virus that causes AIDS after he received a bone marrow transplant from an HIV-resistant donor. 
英国一名感染艾滋病毒的男子接受对艾滋免疫的捐赠者的骨髓移植后，成为全球已知摆脱艾滋病病毒的第二名成年人。

The therapy had an early success with a man known as "the Berlin patient," Timothy Ray Brown, a US man treated in Germany who is 12 years post-transplant and still free of HIV. Until now, Brown was the only person thought to have been cured of infection with HIV. 
此前，类似疗法曾成功帮助"柏林病人"蒂莫西•雷•布朗摆脱艾滋病毒。布朗是美国人，他12年前在德国接受了移植手术，迄今体内没有检测到艾滋病病毒。布朗被认为是唯一一位被治愈的艾滋病人。

In the latest case, the man known as "the London patient" has no trace of HIV infection, three years after he received bone marrow stem cells from a donor with a rare genetic mutation that resists HIV infection - and 18 months after he came off antiretroviral drugs.
在这起最新病例中，"伦敦病人"三年前接受了一名因罕见基因突变而对艾滋病毒免疫的捐赠者的骨髓移植，18个月前暂停抗逆转录病毒药物治疗，目前体内没有检测到艾滋病毒。

AIDS experts said the case is a proof of the concept that scientists will one day be able to end AIDS, but it does not mean that cure has already been found. 
艾滋专家称，"伦敦病人"病例证明，科学家有朝一日可以消除艾滋病，然而这并不意味着人类已经找到治愈艾滋病的方法。

近日，美国莫尔豪斯学院一位教授因在课堂上替学生照看宝宝而在社交媒体上走红。阿塞塔的爸爸韦恩•海耶因为无法找到临时保姆，只好把女儿带到了内森•亚历山大教授的代数课堂上。

Professor Nathan Alexander held the child for his whole 50-minute class so Hayer could "take good notes." "I don't have children of my own," Alexander said. "I was worried that she would start crying but it actually went perfectly. She was extremely well behaved."
亚历山大教授为了让海耶能"好好记笔记"，50分钟的课堂里一直将阿塞塔抱在怀里。亚历山大称："我自己没孩子，本来还担心宝宝会哭，但完全没有。她非常乖。"
