纵观上周的资讯事件，无论是重要度、话题度、关注度，习大大访英毫无疑问都是No. 1。习大大访英期间，国际社会及媒体高度关注、全面报道，多家外媒第一时间对习近平访英进行跟踪报道。从英国超规格的王室礼遇，中国领导人首次在英国议会发表演讲，到中英签下总价值400亿英镑的大单，再到习卡泡吧行，外媒又一次被习大大花式刷屏。

China's Xi Meets Royals, Officials on First U.K. State Visit
习近平开启首次访英之旅 会见王室成员、政府官员
Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived for his first state visit to the U.K., where members of the royal family and government officials greeted him Tuesday as Britain seeks to bolster ties with the world’s second-biggest economy.
中国国家主席习近平20日抵达英国，进行对英国的首次国事访问，英国王室成员和政府官员对习近平的到访进行了欢迎。英国正寻求加强与世界第二大经济体中国的关系。
Mr. Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, took part in a lavish procession, riding in a horse-drawn carriage to Buckingham Palace, where the pair had lunch with Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, Prince Philip.
伴着隆重的欢迎队伍，习近平主席携夫人彭丽媛乘坐由骏马开道的四轮马车前往白金汉宫，夫妇二人与伊丽莎白女王二世及其丈夫菲利普亲王在白金汉宫共进了午餐。
Mr. Xi, in an address later to members of Parliament at Westminster, spoke about the "deep mutual affection" between the two countries and his belief that his visit would build relations.
习近平当日晚些时候在威斯敏斯特向英国议会成员发表演讲，提到了“两国人民之间的深厚情谊以及他对通过这次访问推动中英关系迈上新台阶的期待。

Address、speech和lecture都有演讲的意思，Wall Street Journal的报道在提到习大大的演讲时选用了address。这是因为address指的是在庄严隆重的场合作精心准备的演讲或正式演说;而speech指一般的发言或讲话，可以是事先准备的，也可以是即席的，而lecture侧重带学术性的演讲。
这篇报道中，出现了两个可以表示英国议会的词语，不知道你注意到了吗?除了大家耳熟能详的parliament，Westminster也可以指代英国的议会。Westminster(威斯敏斯特)是伦敦所辖的威斯敏斯特自治市(the City of Westminster)下属的一个地区，为英国议会大厦、唐宁街以及许多政府机关的所在地，因此人们也用Westminster来喻指英国议会或英国政府。

Xi Jinping signs nuclear deal as UK and China clinch ￡40bn of contracts
中英400亿英镑大单成交 习近平签署核电站协议
China and Britain have signed multi-billion pound business deals, including for the project to build a nuclear power station in Britain, during day two of the Chinese president’s first state visit to the country.
中国国家主席习近平对英国进行首次国事访问的第二天，中英签署了价值数十亿英镑的商业协议，包括在英国兴建一处核电站的项目。

习近平和卡梅伦21日出席了在伦敦市长官邸举行的中英商业峰会，峰会主题为投资、基建和创新。
Cameron said at the press conference after the two leaders met: "A strong relationship is in both our countries’ interests, not just because it brings investment and jobs and higher living standards for our peoples – vital though these things are."
卡梅伦与习近平会晤之后召开的记者招待会上表示：“加强中英关系符合我们的利益，不仅是因为它能带来投资和工作机会、提高人们的生活水平，虽然这些方面也至关重要。
"The more we trade together, the more we have a stake in each others’ success and the more we understand each other, the more we can work together to confront the problems that face our world today."
“我们越是加强双方贸易，彼此的成功对我们越是利害攸关，我们对彼此了解得越多，越能合作面对当今世界的问题。

David Cameron defends China business deals
卡梅伦为中英商业协议辩护
David Cameron has defended the UK's business links with China as he said deals worth ￡40bn had been struck during President Xi Jinping's visit.
大卫·卡梅伦表示，习近平访英期间，中英达成了400亿英镑的协议，同时为中英经贸合作辩护。
Mr Cameron hailed a deal giving China a 30% stake in a new nuclear plant.
卡梅伦对一项给予中国一座新核电站30%股份的协议表示赞赏。
The PM said the two countries could maintain a "strong relationship" while having "necessary and frank discussions" about issues like the steel industry and human rights.
卡梅伦表示，中英可以保持“牢固的两国关系，同时对钢铁工业和人权等问题进行“必要和开诚布公的讨论。
Language tips:
提到“达成协议，首先出现在你脑海里的短语是什么?小编猜是reach an agreement，也许还有come to an agreement?卡梅伦教给大家一个新的表达：strike a deal(达成交易/协议)。
Strike这个词也是资讯报道中的高频词，比如French air traffic controllers went on strike yesterday to demand better working and retirement conditions，这里的strike是名词，表示罢工，它也可以做动词，The trade union decided to strike the whole country。如果哪里发生了地震，你一定可以看到报道中使用an earthquake strikes somewhere这样的表达，strike在这里表示疾病或灾害等突然爆发，除了earthquake，strike还可以和drought、flood、plague、tornado、storm、snowstorm乃至今年上半年害得大家人心惶惶的的MERS(中东呼吸综合征)搭配使用，可谓相当万能。

China leader Xi Jinping hails 'shared interests' with UK
习近平：中英正成为“利益共同体
Britain and China are becoming "increasingly interdependent" parts of a "community of shared interests", Chinese President Xi Jinping has told MPs and peers in an address to both Houses of Parliament.
中国国家主席习近平在向议会上下两院的议员发表的演讲中表示，中国和英国“越来越成为你中有我、我中有你的利益共同体。
Speaking in Mandarin, Mr Xi said that he believed his four-day State visit to the UK was helping to lift the friendly relationship between the two countries to "a new height".
在这场中文演讲中，习近平说，他希望对英国为期四天的国事访问能够帮助将中英友好关系推向“新高度。
The address, in the lavish surroundings of Parliament's Royal Gallery, is a high point of the first state visit by a Chinese leader for 10 years.
这场在议会大厦装饰奢华的皇家画廊进行的演讲是习近平此行的一个高潮。此次访问是中国国家领导人10年以来首次对英国进行国事访问。
Language tips:
Shared interests是“共同利益，community of shared interests则是“利益共同体，这是此次习大大访英之行的又一个关键词。
Peer想必大家也不陌生，可以指同龄人或同等地位的人，但在英式英语中，它还有“贵族(a member of a nobility)之意。
MPs and peers这个表达与英国的议会体系有关。英国的议会为两院制(bicameral)，由上议院(the House of Lords)和下议院(the House of Commons)组成，上议院又称贵族院，下议院又称平民院，两院的名称相当直白地反映了议员的出身。虽然上议院是议会的一部分，但上院议员的称呼并不是MPs(Members of Parliament)，而是peers，更加正式的称呼是Lords of Parliament。在实施两院制的国家，MP通常专指下议院的议员，因为上议院和上院议员通常有另外的称呼，比如Senate和对应的senator。所以上文里的MPs and peers指的就是上下议院的议员啦。
Britain to Grant China a Large Stake in Nuclear Industry
英国核工业大额股份让与中国
In an important breakthrough for Chinese industry and global influence, the British and Chinese governments agreed on Wednesday to give China a substantial stake in the British nuclear industry, both as an investor and as a contractor.
中英两国政府21日达成协议，中国将作为投资方和承包方获得英国核工业的大额股份，这是中国核工业及其全球影响力方面的一个重大突破。
The deal was the commercial highlight of President Xi Jinping's pageant-filled, four-day state visit to Britain, which is eager to get more Chinese investment and to export more British products to China.
该协议是习近平主席为期4天、精彩纷呈的访英行程中的一个商业亮点，只在获得更多来自中国的投资，同时将更多英国产品出口到中国。
In a short news conference after signing the deal, the British prime minister, David Cameron, called the agreement historic and said it would produce thousands of British jobs. “The stronger the relationship between our countries, the more we'll be able to have a serious dialogue on areas of disagreement, Mr. Cameron said.
在协议签署之后的资讯发布会上，英国首相卡梅伦表示该协议是“历史性的，并称其将为英国创造数千个工作机会。卡梅伦说：“我们两国之间的关系越牢固，我们就越有可能在一些有争议的领域进行严肃对话。

标题中的grant表明，让中国参与英国的核电厂建设是政府点头同意的，这在第一段里就有明显表示“the British and Chinese governments agreed。Grant作名词时指“(政府)拨款、补助金，比如：They'd got a special grant to encourage research.
这次核电厂协议是习主席访英行程中的一大亮点，大家都知道，不过因为受到了英国方面盛大的欢迎，所以NYT用了一个pageant-filled来形容这次访问，可见，所到之处都是受到了盛情款待。看到pageant，大家可能首先想到的是选美比赛，其实，这个词可以用来形容各种“盛会、盛大的场面，比如：Last year's Christmas pageant drew a standing-room-only audience of 60。

习近平在白金汉宫国宴盛赞英中“友谊
Chinese President Xi Jinping kicked off his first state visit to the UK by hailing the "friendship" between the two countries, which he expects to hit a "new height".

中国国家主席习近平开启对英首次国事访问，盛赞两国“友谊。习主席在白金汉宫国宴上表示，中英两国是目标一致、愿景一致的伙伴，并对二战期间两国的联合战斗表示敬意。
The Queen said that this was an "unprecedented year of co-operation and friendship" between the two countries. Earlier, Xi was formally welcomed by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh on Horse Guards Parade.
女王表示，今年是中英两国“合作和友谊前所未有的年份。此前，习主席在皇家骑兵卫队阅兵场受到女王和爱丁堡公爵的隆重欢迎。
In a speech to MPs in Westminster, the Chinese president said he was "deeply impressed by the vitality of China-UK relations". He will meet Prime Minister David Cameron at Downing Street on 21 October and is expected to put pen to paper on Chinese investments into the controversial Hinkley Point nuclear power plant in Somerset.
在英国议会的演讲中，习主席表示，他“深切感受到中英关系的蓬勃朝气。他会在10月21日回家英国首相卡梅伦，并签署中国投资萨默塞特郡的欣克利角核电站的协议。

这段报道中两次出现hail这个词，在这里表示“赞扬、称颂的意思，比如，Faulkner has been hailed as the greatest American novelist of his generation。如果经常看英文的天气预报的话，大家应该会注意到，hail在天气中指的是“冰雹，比如，a sharp short-lived storm with heavy hail(短时强冰雹)。
平时的资讯报道中提到“签署协议多半会用sign a deal之类的表达，但是上文中却用了put pen to paper这样一个很形象的表达，既避免了用词重复，表达的意思也很生动，写作的时候可以用得上。

China's Xi Says U.K. Financial Ties Make Nations Interdependent
习表示中英金融关系使两国相互依存
President Xi Jinping cited China's ties with the U.K. financial-services sector as he told lawmakers in London that the two countries are becoming “increasingly interdependent.
习近平主席在伦敦对英国议会讲话时提到中国与英国金融服务行业的关系，表示两国“相互依存度越来越高。
In a speech to both houses of Parliament on Tuesday, Xi singled out the U.K.'s place as the leading offshore yuan trading center outside Hong Kong and its pioneering issuance of yuan-denominated sovereign bonds, while noting that Britain was the first major western country to apply for membership of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. Addressing an audience including Prime Minister David Cameron, Xi said that his four-day visit provides an opportunity to lift bilateral ties to a “new height.
10月20日在英国议会的演讲中，习近平着重强调了英国作为除香港以外主要的离岸人民币交易中心的地位，以及率先发行人民币计价主权债券的意义，并指出英国是第一个申请加入亚洲基础设施投资银行的西方大国。习近平表示，他的四天访问将两国关系提升到了“新高度。
Language tips：
这一段报道里面有两个关键词：interdependent和new height。Interdependent是由inter和dependent构成，前者表示“相互的，后者大家都认识，是“依赖的，组合而成的词表明了两国关系的现状，中文用“相互依存，英文只需一个词。到底哪种语言更简洁?有时候真挺难说。
New height是此次习主席访英之行中继golden era之后的又一个重要关键词。习主席和卡梅伦首相会谈时决定，两国将开启持久(enduring)、开放(inclusive)、共赢(win-win)的中英关系“黄金时代(a golden era)，共同构建中英面向21世纪全球全面战略伙伴关系(a "global comprehensive strategic partnership" in the 21st century)，两国将在在金融(finance)、能源(energy)、创意产业(creative industry)、签证便利化等领域扩大合作(expand cooperation)。

Britain has laid on its highest level of diplomatic charm for the Chinese delegation, including an audience with Queen Elizabeth.
英国方面为中国代表团展示了最高级别的外交魅力，连伊丽莎白女王也参与其中。
Language tips：
标题中的regeneration除了指经济方面的“复兴以外，还可以指皮肤再生，不少护肤品的广告中就经常会用到这个词。习主席提出的“实现中华民族伟大复兴的英文表述the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation中的rejuvenation也有“复兴的意思，只不过，regeneration强调的是重建曾经的繁荣状态，而rejuvenation强调的是通过引入新的制度或举措，使整个组织或制度更有活力、更有效率。
之前说过签署协议的表达有很多种，这里又出现一个seal 40 billion pounds of business deals，常见的更简短的表达是seal the deal。Seal最基本的意思是“封印、印鉴，所以，在合约上盖章封印，自然就是签约成交的意思。

Crown作动词有“居…之顶的意思。这个词将英国人对与中方核电项目合作的期盼与重视的心理，表露无遗。
