Bronzeware returned to China
流失日本青铜组器'回家'

Eight lost pieces of Chinese bronzeware with a history of over 2,500 years were returned from Japan in August, the National Cultural Heritage Administration announced on Tuesday. In early March, the ritual artifacts from the early stages of Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) appeared in an auction catalog in Tokyo. 
国家文物局10日宣布，八件流失日本、拥有逾2500年历史的中国青铜器已于八月回到祖国怀抱。这些礼器源于春秋时期早期，曾于三月初出现在东京一家拍卖行的花名册上。

However, this set of bronzeware was believed to have been illegally taken out of China. Diplomatic negotiations and a criminal investigation soon began to seek the return of the eight artifacts. The auction that had been scheduled for March 12 was suspended by the Japanese auctioneer. A Shanghai resident surnamed Zhou, who was the auction client, emerged as the likely responsible party in the case. 
然而这组青铜器据信是通过非法途径被运出中国的。我国立即针对这八件青铜器展开外交谈判和犯罪调查，以寻求追回这些文物。日本拍卖行中止了原定于3月12日举行的拍卖会。文物拍卖委托人、上海居民周某有重大犯罪嫌疑。

He finally agreed to hand over the artifacts in July, and the Chinese embassy in Tokyo received them on Aug 20. The artifacts arrived in China on Aug 23. The ancient bronzes will be included in an upcoming major exhibition on the achievements of cultural relic repatriation since founding of New China in 1949. The exhibition will be open at the National Museum of China on Sept 17.
最终周某于7月同意上交文物，中国驻东京大使馆于8月20日收到了这组青铜器。8月23日，这些青铜器抵达中国。这些古代青铜器将作为展品于本月17日亮相国家博物馆"新中国成立70周年流失文物回归成果展"。

One suicide every 40 seconds
全球每40秒就有1人自杀

The number of people worldwide who die from suicide is declining but one person still kills themselves every 40 seconds, according to new figures from the World Health Organization, which said countries needed to do more to stop these preventable deaths. Between 2010 and 2016, the global suicide rate decreased by 9.8%, the UN health body said in its second report on the issue. 
世界范围内死于自杀的人数在下降，但根据世界卫生组织的新数据，每40秒钟仍有一个人自杀身亡，世界卫生组织指出，世界各国应该做出更多努力，阻止这些可预防的死亡发生。世界卫生组织在第二份自杀死亡报告中写道，2010年至2016年间，全球自杀率下降了9.8%。

The only region to see an increase was the Americas. "Every death is a tragedy for family, friends and colleagues. Yet suicides are preventable. We call on all countries to incorporate proven suicide prevention strategies into national health and education programs in a sustainable way," said WHO Director-General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. 
美洲是唯一一个自杀率上升的地区。世界卫生组织的总干事特沃德罗斯•阿达诺姆博士说："每一起死亡对家人、朋友和同事来说都是悲剧。然而自杀是可以防止的。我们呼吁所有国家用可持续的方式将经过验证的自杀预防策略加入国民健康和教育计划中。"

WHO said close to 800,000 people die by suicide every year, more than those lost to malaria, breast cancer, or war and homicide, calling it a "serious global public health issue." It said only 38 countries had suicide prevention strategies.
世界卫生组织称，每年有近80万人死于自杀，超过死于疟疾、乳腺癌、战争和凶杀案的人数，并将自杀称为"严重的全球公共健康问题"。世界卫生组织表示，只有38个国家有自杀预防策略。

U-turn on student visas
英国恢复留学生工作签

Foreign students will be allowed to stay in the UK for two years after graduating, in a policy U-turn on post-visa studies. The new strategy, announced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, is aimed at boosting the appeal of Britain as a university destination for overseas students. 
英国留学生毕业后留英政策出现转向，将允许留学生毕业后在英国停留两年。英国首相鲍里斯•约翰逊宣布的新战略旨在提高英国作为海外学生留学目的地的吸引力。

From 2021, international students who enroll on undergraduate, postgraduate or PhD courses in the UK will be able to stay in the country for two years after they graduate. International students are currently only permitted to remain in the UK for up to four months after completing their studies under rules that were introduced by Theresa May when she was the Home Secretary. 
从2021年起，在英国就读本科、研究生或博士课程的留学生将能够在毕业后留在英国两年。特雷莎•梅在担任英国内政大臣期间规定，留学生在完成学业后，只允许在英国停留至多4个月。目前仍在执行这一政策。

There are currently 460,000 foreign university students in the UK, generating ￡20 billion per year through education exports. Under European Union (EU) laws, tuition fees for British and EU students are capped at ￡9,250 per year, but there is no limit on what universities can charge international students.
英国目前有46万名留学生，教育出口行业每年为英国带来200亿英镑的收入。根据欧盟法律，英国和欧盟其他国家的学生每年的学费上限为9250英镑（约合人民币81220元），但大学对留学生的收费没有限制。

Stamps to identify gropers
日本'防狼印章'标记色狼

A new device aimed at tackling sexual harassment on crowded trains and public transport has sold out just half an hour after it went on sale in Japan. The "anti-groping" stamps, manufactured by stamp-maker Shachihata, allow victims of harassment to mark their assailants with invisible ink, and also provide a deterrent to would-be attackers. 日本最近推出一款新设备，旨在解决拥挤的火车和公共交通上的性骚扰问题，该产品公开发售仅半个小时后就销售一空。这种"防狼印章"由印章制造商日本旗牌有限公司生产，让性骚扰受害者可以用隐形墨水在侵犯者身上做记号，同时也对潜在的性骚扰者起到威慑作用。

A limited run of 500 stamps, which retailed at 2,500 yen, sold out within 30 minutes of going on sale, a company spokesman said. The mark is not visible under sunlight, making it very discreet in public, and is quick to use as there is no lid. Yayoi Matsunaga, head of the Groping Prevention Activities Center, said the move was "very meaningful." The release of an anti-groping product "should have a big impact on society, which could lead to deterrence," she added.
该公司发言人表示，这种印章限量发行500枚，零售价为2500日元(约合人民币167元)，发售后半小时内就售罄了。这种印记在阳光下是看不见的，使之在公共场合非常隐蔽，而且由于没有盖子，可以快速使用。总部位于大阪的反性骚扰活动中心负责人松永弥生说，此举"非常有意义"。她还说，一款防性骚扰产品的发布"会对社会产生很大影响，可能会产生威慑作用"。
