抱歉机器人，你被炒鱿鱼了

The Henn Na Hotel in Japan, which from 2015 has employed almost 250 robots to meet guests' needs, is cutting back on automation after its experiment failed to reduce costs or workload for employees.位于日本的海茵娜酒店为了满足宾客的需求，从2015年开始引进了大约250个机器人，但却没能减轻雇佣成本或员工负担，因此该酒店正在大幅减少机器人的数量，让它们“下岗”。The hotel will reduce its robotic workforce by more than half and return to more traditional human-provided services for guests, though it will maintain a number of robots in areas where it found them to be effective and efficient. Its change of direction can offer lessons for companies that are pursuing robotic solutions for customer service roles.酒店内有过半的机器人将面临“被炒鱿鱼”的命运，取而代之的是更为传统的人工服务，但是工作效果比较好的一些机器人则会被保留在原有的岗位上。很多企业想要通过机器人来解决客户服务方面的问题，而酒店将机器人“炒鱿鱼”这一案例则给它们上了一课。The hotel utilized a host of robots including in-room voice assistants and a robotic concierge. It also put robots to work behind the scenes to complete tasks such as sorting and transporting luggage. While robots moving luggage into and out of storage containers or around the hotel has proven to be useful, most of the other deployments have not, for a variety of reasons.在这家酒店内机器人无处不在：客房内有语音助手机器人，房外有机器人门房，还有机器人专门负责行李的挑拣和运送。尽管行李机器人在实际运用中的效果还算不错，但其它的机器人则是状况百出。Foremost among these is the growing obsolescence of some of these robots, with units like the in-room assistants leaving customers frustrated with their experience. In other instances, robots didn't actually eliminate the need for workers, such as at the check-in desk, where robots designed to look like dinosaurs greeted guests but still needed humans to make copies of passports, for example.各类问题中最突出的要数部分机器人的陈旧过时，它们渐渐跟不上时代的步伐，例如房内机器人助手经常解决不了顾客的问题。有些机器人则没法减轻工作人员的负担：如被设计成“恐龙”样式的前台机器人虽然能向顾客问好，但是复印护照这种细活，仍然需要人工来完成。Most consumers are still uncomfortable with robots when they need to communicate with the machines face to face. Instead, robots should be developed for tasks where they work alongside trained employees and are likely to have the most meaningful impact — after all they are not good enough to replace all human work at present.当和机器人面对面交流时，大多数的顾客仍然感到不自然。实际上，要想在服务业领域让机器人大派用场，最好的办法是让它们协助训练有素的我们进行工作，这样才能使整体的工作效率最大化——毕竟当前的机器人还无法完全替代人类来工作。VOCABULARYconcierge: n. 看门人，门房deployment: n. 部署；调度

英语中的语调单位

评价一个人的口语水平如何，大家都会想到“语音语调”，也就是Pronunciation and Intonation。前者是通过音标所记录的音素来确定每一个词的正确发音，不同的英语国家在很多词汇的发音上存在差异，但只要遵循同一类的发音规律，那么便不会存在原则上的问题。后者则是很多英语学习者的最困惑的地方：到底什么是语调，它如何能使我们的口语显得地道？语调语调简单讲就是“说话的腔调”，准确讲是一句话里“声调高低、抑扬轻重的配制和变化”。英语有五种基本语调：升调（↗）、降调（↙）、升降调（∧）、降升调（∨）以及平调（→）。一句话的意义不仅仅通过词义得以表达，还需要语调的协助，表示出说话者的态度和语气。如祈使句“Do not touch the pot.”、疑问句“Did you touch the pot?”和肯定句“You did not touch the pot.”除了语义上的差异，还展现出了完全不同的说话者态度，再来回味一下这三句话是怎么读的，就不难发现语调的重要性了。语调单位要充分理解语调这一概念，那么就要了解什么是“语调单位”（Intonation Unit）。语调单位又称作语调群，是语言中语调的基本单位。一个语调单位通常相当于一个意群，由一个重读音节和若干个非重读音节组成。每个语调单位中至少有一个是响亮音，最响亮的高峰音便是语调单位的核心（nucleus），一旦越过这个“高峰”，音调便开始变化。语调单位通常由几个词组成，而完整的语调单位由四个部分组成：调冠、调头、调核和调尾。讲到这里，不少人已经被这些生疏的概念吓跑了。但其实语调一点都不枯燥，它是一句话悦耳动听的基础，也是所谓“语感”的核心所在，蕴含着语言的“灵魂”。今天我们就将为大家带来微课Intonation Units of English，从基础入手，结合实例分析，感受英语语调的魅力。

“英语能力等级量表”与雅思、普思考试成功对接

The National Education Examinations Authority (NEEA), Ministry of Education, China and the British Council (BC) jointly released the results of their collaborative research on linking IELTS and Aptis to China's Standards of English Language Ability (CSE). The successful completion of the research marks the official mapping of the CSE to the international examination systems, while demonstrating that Sino-UK educational collaboration has moved to a new stage.近日，中国教育部考试中心与英国文化教育协会联合发布了雅思、普思（Aptis）考试与中国英语能力等级量表（CSE）的对接研究结果，标志着中国英语语言能力标准与国际考试系统接轨，中英在教育领域的合作进入新阶段。What is “CSE”? Different from “CET4” and “CET6” tests, CSE was developed as the fundamental element of National Foreign Language Assessment Framework. The framework was designed to promote the comprehensive reform and development of foreign language education in China and to cultivate talents with global vision, language proficiency and a comprehensive knowledge of the international community.那么什么是“英语能力等级量表”呢？“CSE”和我们熟知的“四六级”不同，它是根据国家英语能力等级考试制定的分级规范。设计等级考试将有助于我国进行全面的外语教育改革，助力培养具有全球化视野、熟练外语能力和综合知识的新型人才。The standards categorize the ability of Chinese English learners into nine proficiency levels across the basic, intermediate and advanced stages, defining each level comprehensively through specific, accurate and easy-to-understand descriptors. It applies to all levels of English learners from elementary school to university, and focuses on abilities in communication in everyday life and work, as well as understanding the culture in English-speaking countries.“英语能力等级量表”将我国英语学习者的语言能力分为九个等级，涵盖初、中、高等语言学习阶段，每一个等级都通过具体、准确、易懂的标准进行量化。与我们熟知的“四六级”不同的是，“量表”适用于小学到大学各个阶段的学习者，考察的内容也聚焦于日常生活和工作中的场景，并关注英语国家的文化风俗。Launched at the beginning of 2017, the collaborative research on linking IELTS and Aptis to the CSE took two years to complete. The research team referred to previous studies on linking international language tests to language standards and employed a scientific approach which integrated expert judgements and empirical data, collecting evidences from multiple sources.“英语能力等级量表”对接雅思和普思考试的工作始于2017年初，耗时两年完成。研究团队研究了国际上通行的多种英语评价机制，运用科学手段将专家评估意见和实验数据结合起来，一同制定了最终的标准。The linking results will be of particular value to policymakers at educational institutions by helping them meet curriculum goals. They will also encourage the improvement of teaching methods, learning materials and teaching practices in classrooms.考试分数的对接对于学校来说无疑是一大利好，除了能够更好地确立课程教学目标，与国际接轨后的英语考试也将有助于提升教学方法，完善教学内容和课堂内的训练。VOCABULARYproficiency: n. 熟练；精通descriptor: n. 描述符；指示词empirical: adj. 经验性的

练习 | VOA慢速：实现目标的方法

燕山大学 刘立军 编写 TRANSCRIPTFrom VOA Learning English, this is the Health and Lifestyle report.If you are like millions of people around the world, the New Year brings with it new goals.Perhaps you want to save money, lose weight or learn a new skill. You tell yourself, "This is the year I'm going to ... (fill in the blank)."But then you get busy.Your daily life - as wonderful as it can be - takes up all of your time. Before you know it, weeks, then months have gone by, and you are no closer to your goal.Time, as they say, waits for no one.Yet your goal remains important. And achieving a goal, no matter how small, feels good. In addition, when we do not work on our goals, we may end up feeling guilty or not successful.So, how can we find time to work on these larger life goals?Well, many websites address this issue, and they offer some of the same advice: If you want to achieve something, clearly identify it and write it down. Identify specific goalsAs you identify your goals, be specific. If a goal is too general, it may be hard to pursue, let alone achieve it.Let's say your goal is to get in better physical shape. That's a fine idea - but psychologists might say as a goal, it is too general. To make the goal more specific, you could sign up for a regular exercise class. So, whether you are dancing, doing yoga or kickboxing, you have a regular commitment every week. You could also say your goal is to lose a certain amount of weight in a certain amount of time. Write your goals downExperts say writing down your goal is a very important step. It gets the goal out of your brain and into the real world.Some psychologists suggest that writing a goal on paper is better than typing it on a device or saying it into your phone. Your brain receives information differently when it comes from handwriting. Writing things down seems to say to the brain, "I am important! Remember me!" Writing has another benefit: You can post your goal somewhere as a reminder. As you sit down at your computer or pour your morning coffee, your goal stares you in the face and asks, "What are you going to do about me today?" Tell a friendTelling someone your goal is also helpful.If someone else knows about your goals, you are held accountable for any progress or lack of progress. Your friend might ask, "So, how many pages of your novel have you written?" If you keep saying "none," you might feel badly. Now you feel a pressure to do it - the pressure of your friend's opinion of you. And that can be a big pressure! Many people do not want to let others down, especially friends and family. Break down BIG goals into small onesNot all goals are created equal. Some can be quite big. And for those bigger goals, experts suggest breaking them down into smaller ones.So, let's say you want to work for yourself. You love cooking. So, you decide to start your own company that supplies food for special events. Now, that is a very big goal. But it is made up of many smaller goals. So, identify them, write them down and set for yourself time limits.These suggestions all help to make your goals real. If you simply think about your goals, they can easily get lost in your brain - which, after all, has a lot to do in a day.Other experts remind us of another detail as we set our goals for the New Year: The goals may change. Or your life situation may change. Or you may change. So, it is a good idea to check in with yourself. Is this goal still what you want? Is your approach still working? If things are not proceeding forward, perhaps you need to change something.One expert, Ryder Carroll, helps people organize their life's goals by using a simple notebook. He suggests thinking about your goals not as a final destination, but rather as lighthouses guiding you along.It is the pursuit of your goals - not the reaching of them - that makes up the weeks, days and hours of our lives. So make sure to have fun along the way!And that's the Health and Lifestyle report. I'm Anna Matteo. And I'm Bryan Lynn.Adapted from http://www.kekenet.com/broadcast/201901/577782.shtml VOCABULARY1. end up: to find yourself in a place or situation that you did not intend or expect to be in 最终成为；最后处于。例如：If you go on like this you'll end up in prison. 如果你继续这样，早晚得进监狱。用法：[+ -ing 短语] I ended up doing all the work myself. 结果所有的活儿都是我一个人干了。[+ 形容词] If he carries on driving like that, he'll end up dead. 如果他继续这样开车，总有一天会把命都丢掉。2. address v.

练习 | VOA常速：女性移民闪耀美国硅谷

燕山大学 刘立军 编写 TRANSCRIPTPushpa Ithal may not fit the stereotype of the typical Silicon Valley CEO. She’s female, foreign-born and a mother. Nevertheless, she’s one of the many foreign-born women with thriving technology careers in Silicon Valley, where companies are increasingly relying on workers like her. Silicon Valley is known for entire world about like creating, building great products that millions of people, hundreds of millions people use it.Silicon Valley, the global center for high-tech innovation, could be renamed immigrant Valley. It is fueled by foreign-born workers, many of whom are from humble roots and having worked so hard to get here. Many have ambitions beyond their day jobs. Do you want to take this risk and move to a start-up? Hey, you know what I came here all the way. Let’s risk it that drives like everything.In computer science jobs, people born outside the United States make up almost 70% of those in their prime working years. That’s especially to for women - nearly 80% of women in computer and math fields are foreign-born. Most are from India and China.Countries like India and China where women, women’s roles are often very subservient. Silicon Valley offers a pathway out. Engineering, in particular, is a pathway towards economic sustainability. Although the tech industry is still mostly male, more and more foreign-born women are finding success here and are rapidly promoted.Lingling Shi born in China self-studying technology as her ticket to success in the US, Computer science, I mean most of us feel like it’s easier to apply green cards. It’s not my main anxious. I’ll be honest. Family life is one way that foreign-born women in tech are different than their American counterparts. Despite their demanding careers, they are almost twice as likely to be married and also much more likely to have children. I think to, to Chinese feminists, in most important, they will never accept no matter how successful like, my parents will not be happy, like oh, you have VP of engineer now but you don’t have kids.Women in India and in China under a set of cultural expectations and norms that they will have a family right away and they will excel in their careers. These women are really kind of super women in terms of the tasks that they take on.But that parental pressure also comes with perks. Typically for Asian family like parents will be here when the time you’re about to deliver the baby then they will be here for like half a year, one-year.Support like that can make a real difference. They will get to those leadership roles a lot more quickly than their American-born peers who don’t have the support that they need.They may not be household names are on the covers of business magazines yet, but these immigrants are likely to be the talent fueling the next wave of tech innovation.Dena Mitchell for VOA news San Jose California.Adapted from http://www.kekenet.com/broadcast/201901/577472.shtml VOCABULARY1. stereotype n. a fixed idea or image that many people have of a particular type of person or thing, but which is often not true in reality 模式化观念（或形象）；老一套；刻板印象。例如： cultural / gender / racial stereotypes有关文化的 / 性别的 / 种族的旧框框 He doesn't conform to the usual stereotype of the businessman with a dark suit and briefcase.他不同于人们一般印象中穿黑色西装、提公文包的商人形象。2. subservient adj. subservient (to sth) (formal) less important than sth. else 次要；从属于。例如：The needs of individuals were subservient to those of the group as a whole. 个人的需要服从于整个集体的需要。3. pathway=path n. a plan of action or a way of achieving sth. 行动计划；成功的途径。例如： a career path职业道路 the path to success成功之道4. perk n.

练习 | 科学美国人60秒：木星卫星总数增加

燕山大学 刘立军 编写 TRANSCRIPTThis is Scientific American - 60-Second Science. I'm Steve Mirsky.How many moons does Jupiter have? If you said four, you might be Galileo. If you said 69, you were right. Until the announcement this morning by the International Astronomical Union of the discovery of an additional 10 moons about the gas-giant planet. Bringing the currently known total to 79. That's a lot of moons.A research team from the Carnegie Institution for Science, the University of Hawaii and Northern Arizona University was looking in 2017 for very distant objects in our solar system, well beyond Pluto. Jupiter happened to be in the same field of view, so they also looked for any as yet unknown moons. They found 12, two of which were announced last year. Confirmation of the moons required multiple observations, and those data enabled a calculation of the moons' orbits.Nine of the dozen moons are well away from Jupiter and have retrograde orbits, meaning they go around the planet in what we'd think of as the "wrong direction". They take about two Earth years to complete their circuits.Two new moons are closer in, go the right way, and take about an Earth year for one orbit. Those eleven moons are probably remnants of larger bodies that got broken up in collisions.The remaining moon is less than a kilometer across, further out than the two conventional moons and has a 1.5-year orbit - and the orbit is inclined. That tilt has the weird little moon crossing the paths of those outer retrograde moons. Which means an increased likelihood of a big smash-up one day.Depending on what survives from any such collision, Jupiter may then have even more moons.

第九届教学大赛翻译专业组特等奖计霄雯授课

授课点评：计老师围绕主旨口译这一口译技能展开了她20分钟的授课。计老师由“何为主旨”这一问题引出学生对口译中意义理解重要性的思考，由课堂练习引出如何提炼主旨的讨论，由分析主旨引出针对主题句、逻辑等概念的阐释，环环相扣，过渡自然，紧贴主题，引人入胜。计老师温婉亲切的表述风格、简单明了的语言表达和深入浅出的教学方法体现了老师对学生的了解和尊重；浅显简单的例句有效地引导了学生从较深层次思考提炼主旨的方法和步骤，同时激发了他们的兴趣和热情。同样需要肯定的是计老师的教态，自然平和，语音语调清晰流畅；还有设计简洁流畅、连贯易懂的课件。计老师在教学过程中针对主旨的定义以及提炼方法的阐述得当有效，但却未能清楚地告诉学生提炼主旨的重要性及其与口译能力之间的关系，不能不说是个遗憾。如果计老师能在教学中增设一个课堂练习来检测学生对所讲内容的理解和运用，或许可以让教学过程更加完整，教学效果得到更好的监控。这其实也是提问评委非常关心的一个问题。计老师在教学中与学生保持了密切的互动，但如果能放缓语速，更密切地关注学生现场的需求和反应，更多地激发学生深思和举一反三，那么这种互动将会是更深层次的一种激发，其作用也将会更加彰显。点评专家：陈菁教授

Watch Your Language整篇课文中所讨论的humor和witty remarks在商务谈判或交流中的使用，以点带面，以少概多。三、衔接自然，详略得当。授课思路清晰，陈述有序，条理分明，自然推进。从授课意图，课文内容简介，学生小组信息阅取，信息归纳，以例释之，再到课文内容取舍利用，都显得合理恰当，有序有节，自然连贯。四、重点突出，环环紧扣。教学展示中重点突出Dealing with Humor in Intercultural Business Talks。从怎样使用和为何使用humor/witty remarks引入，环环相扣，步步扩展，很好地推出授课重点和展开教学环节。其PPT简洁，用语流利明了，讲述清楚易懂。五、互动良好，掌控有度。在约4次互动环节中，问题明确，任务清楚，引导适当，并注意启发学生思维。互动时间从约25秒到2分30秒不等，选手把握准确，不拖泥带水，干净利落。从问题设计，时间把控，互动开展，都恰当好处。六、发挥优势，尽展才能。该选手曾有interpreter的经历，教学展示中较好利用其自身优势，尽展其口译经验、技能和策略。以“红茶”的翻译为例（用时4分20秒），讨论witty remarks and humor in business talks，举例有趣（What’s the ship that never sinks? -- Our partnership），逐步扩展，进而推出更多讨论内容，且能够放得开，收得拢（先后用时9分钟）,但均能围绕主题，突出授课重点，其口译才能也展现无遗。有待改进提高之处在于，霍老师在教学展示中语言技能训练稍显不足；课文内容利用不够充分；对学生思辨能力培养应有更多重视。些微不足，但瑕不掩瑜。这是一堂高质量的课堂实践教学，展现了一位优秀教师不凡的语言、能力、素质和风采，其职业生涯发展可望更加辉煌。点评专家：邓海教授
