Spanish Steps' sitting ban
羅馬城地標'禁坐'引爭議

Rome has banned tourists from sitting on its famous Spanish Steps in a move denounced as "Fascist" by critics. The city has previously barred visitors from eating or drinking on the marble staircase but has now extended the rule to include sitting. 
近日，羅馬市著名的西班牙臺階實施游客"禁坐令"，此舉被批評人士抨擊為"法西斯主義"。此前，羅馬已對游客在大理石臺階上吃喝發(fā)布禁令，現在坐在上面休息也成為禁令中的一項。

Police began patrolling the 18th-century marble steps, blowing whistles at those sitting down. The monument, a UNESCO world heritage site, has long been the ideal resting spot for tired visitors. 
警方近日開始在這些建于18世紀的大理石臺階上巡邏，向那些坐在臺階上的人吹哨發(fā)出警告。西班牙臺階是聯合國教科文組織評出的世界遺產地，一直是疲憊游客理想的休息場所。

The landmark was made famous in the US by the 1953 film "Roman Holiday" starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. Visitors who defy the ban can be fined 250 euros, which increases to 400 euros if they have dirtied or damaged the stone staircase.
這處標志性建筑因1953年奧黛麗?赫本和格里高利?派克主演的影片《羅馬假日》而在美國名聲大噪。違反禁令的游客將被罰款250歐元(約合人民幣1977元)。如果游客弄臟或損壞了石階，罰款將增至400歐元(約合人民幣3160元)。

Jeffrey Epstein dies in jail
美國億萬富翁獄中死亡

Disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was found dead on Saturday after an apparent suicide in the New York jail cell where he was being held without bail on sex-trafficking charges, and a source said he was not on suicide watch at the time of his death. Epstein, 66, was found unresponsive in his cell and transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. 
聲名狼藉的金融家杰弗里?愛潑斯坦10日被發(fā)現在美國紐約一座監(jiān)獄內死亡，初步推斷死因是自殺。愛潑斯坦因涉嫌性交易犯罪遭拘禁，不得保釋。有消息來源透露，愛潑斯坦死亡時未被置于防自殺監(jiān)控之下。獄警發(fā)現66歲的愛潑斯坦在囚室內沒有反應，將他送至醫(yī)院，醫(yī)院宣告他已死亡。

Epstein, who was arrested on July 6, had pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking involving dozens of underage girls from 2002 to 2005. Last month, Epstein was found unconscious on the floor of his jail cell with marks on his neck, according to media reports, and officials were investigating that incident as a possible suicide or assault. 
愛潑斯坦7月6日被捕，對于在2002年至2005年間涉嫌組織數十名未成年少女進行性交易的指控，他拒不認罪。據媒體報道，上月，愛潑斯坦曾在牢房里被發(fā)現昏迷不醒，且頸部受傷，執(zhí)法人員正在調查這是否是一起自殺或襲擊事件。

Despite that, Epstein had been taken off suicide watch, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters. He was on suicide watch as late as Thursday, the source said. The financier was in a cell by himself when his body was found, the source said. The FBI and the Department of Justice's Inspector General were opening investigations.
消息人士向路透社透露，在這種情況下，對愛潑斯坦的防自殺監(jiān)控竟被撤掉，愛潑斯坦被發(fā)現死亡時囚室里沒有其他人。美國聯邦調查局和司法部檢察長已對這一事件展開調查。

Disposable income surges
居民收入70年增長60倍

Chinese residents saw their per capita disposable income surge nearly 60 times during the past seven decades thanks to the country's steady economic expansion. The per capita disposable income stood at about 49.7 yuan in 1949, and topped 28,200 yuan in 2018, registering a growth of over 59 times factoring in inflation, a report from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed. 
由于我國經濟穩(wěn)步增長，過去70年里，我國居民人均可支配收入增長近60倍。國家統(tǒng)計局發(fā)布的一份報告顯示，1949年，我國居民人均可支配收入約為49.7元，2018年居民人均可支配收入超過28200元，扣除物價因素實際增長逾59倍。

The steady income growth also led to continuous increases in consumption spending. Chinese residents' per capita consumption spending surged from 88.2 yuan in 1956 to 19,853 yuan in 2018, growing 28.5 times in real terms, NBS data showed.
