2. CHONGMING TO BUILD SOLAR POWER PLANT

世界级生态模范！崇明区打造光伏板阵列

Chongming government is now building a solar power plant above a pond in Gangxi Town. It’s part of the district’s efforts to make the area carbon neutral. Zhang Hong brings us more.

崇明区政府目前正在港西镇一个鱼塘上方建造太阳能发电厂，这也是该地区致力于“碳中和”努力之一。

The 160-megawatt solar project will have solar panels【光伏板】 installed above a pond. Phase one will have a capacity of 128 megawatts and is expected to generate more than 100 million kilowatt-hours of electricity each year. 

这个160兆瓦的太阳能项目将搭建在一个池塘上方，并安装光伏板。第一阶段的发电能力将为128兆瓦，预计全年发电量将超过1亿千瓦时。

Chongming already has several solar power plants. The one in Chenjia Town generates 140 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, saving almost 40,000 tons of standard coal and cutting about 100,000 tons of carbon dioxide. The district also plans to build more wind power plants and explore biomass power【生物质能】. 

崇明已先后建成多个光伏发电项目。以陈家镇的项目为例，全年发电量达到1.4亿度，节约标煤近4万吨，减排二氧化碳近10万吨。在未来，崇明还将适度开发陆上风电，并积极探索生物质能开发利用。

“One out of every three or four kilowatt-hours of electricity in Chongming is generated from clean energy. Our next step is to increase this ratio.” 我们（崇明）所用的电里面平均每3到4度电里面有1度电是“绿电”，下一步这个比例将进一步提高。

By the end of last year, the island’s renewable power plants had a capacity of 56.4 kilowatts. According to the 14th Five-Year Plan, Shanghai aims to reach peak carbon emissions by 2025.

截至去年底，崇明可再生能源装机量已达到56.4千瓦。根据十四五规划，上海致力于2025年达到碳排放的峰值。

3. SHANGHAl-BASED STUDIO CONTRIBUTES TO VISUAL EFFECTS OF OPENING CEREMONY

开幕式的背后：一个不可或缺的视觉团队

A Shanghai-based studio was part of the visual effects team for the Winter Olympics’ opening ceremony. It took team members almost one year to create the giant Olympic rings and the huge snowflake【雪花】 formed by dozens of smaller ones—one for each country and region at the Games. Zhang Hong tells us more.

位于上海的一家工作室是本次冬奥会开幕式视觉效果团队的一份子。成员们花了将近一年的时间，才创造出了冬奥会开幕式所呈现的场面：宏辉的奥运五环和缤纷的大型雪花（众多小型雪花构成了大雪花，而每一篇雪花则代表一个国家和地区）。

Sun Chaoping is one of the team members. Due to confidentiality protocols, the designers had a WeChat group code-named "Five Large Circles". And even Sun’s family members were unaware of the details of his work.

孙超平是团队成员之一。由于签订了保密协议，团队设计人员组建了一个代号为“五大圈”的微信组。就连孙先生的家人也不知道他工作的细节。

“I told my family what I was doing at the New Year’s Eve dinner. They didn’t know until then that I was part of the design team for the Olympics opening ceremony.”  我是吃年夜饭的时候跟家人说的，他们才知道原来是去参加奥运会了。

Sun and his colleagues spent over 10 hours each day working out ways to create Chinese water-and-ink painting【水墨画】 in two-dimensional animation【二维动画】.

孙先生和他的同事们每天都要花上10多个小时，研究如何用二维动画创作中国的水墨画。

“The most difficult part was to make the ice and snowflake props as life-like as possible. We also needed to match the animation with the walking speed of the performers. It was tough, but satisfying to find a solution. We drafted over 10 plans with 400 sketches.” 技术上最难的在于，要去模拟真实的冰、真实的雪花道具以及和演员配合步伐的节奏。过程非常烧脑，但是做完之后也很爽。前前后后不同的方案有十几种，画的效果图可能有四百来张。

The LED screen shaped like a block of ice is 157 meters wide and 77 meters tall. The team had a hard time figuring out how to present a black water-and-ink figure on a black screen.

LED屏幕的形状像一块冰，宽157米，高77米。对于如何在黑色的屏幕上呈现一个黑色水墨的形象这个问题，该团队当时感到非常困扰。

“We saw designers complaining online about being required to create something with a ‘colorful black’. And that’s exactly what we faced this time. But eventually, we found a way.” 有时候我们经常看到网上吐槽“色彩斑斓的黑”这种设计要求，要怎么去达到。最后还好是真的找到了一个方法，真的做到了。

The designers said the video represented the charm of Chinese culture and world class visual effects. 

设计者们均表示，视频中的表演充分展现了中国文化的魅力和世界级的视觉效果。
