8月21日英語：囤貨！英國人已花40億英鎊以應(yīng)對脫歐￡4B spent for stockpiling

￡4B spent for stockpiling
英國人花40億英鎊囤貨

Britons have spent ￡4 billion stockpiling goods in preparation for a possible no-deal Brexit, new research suggests. One in five people are already hoarding food, drinks and medicine, spending an extra ￡380 each, according to a survey by the finance provider Premium Credit. 
最新研究顯示，為應(yīng)對可能到來的無協(xié)議脫歐，英國人已花費40億英鎊(約合人民幣338億元)囤積商品。金融服務(wù)提供商優(yōu)質(zhì)信貸公司的一項調(diào)查顯示，1/5的英國人已經(jīng)在囤積食品、飲料和藥品，每人額外花費了380英鎊(約合人民幣3217元)。

The survey found that about 800,000 people have spent more than ￡1,000 building up stockpiles before the Oct 31 Brexit deadline. If the UK leaves with no deal, businesses predict there will be short-term supply problems, which the government says it is mitigating. 
調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，約有80萬人在囤積物資方面花費超過1000英鎊。英國脫歐最后期限是今年10月31日。如果英國無協(xié)議脫歐，企業(yè)預(yù)計將出現(xiàn)短期供應(yīng)問題，而政府表示正在想辦法緩解這一問題。

The super-rich are also importing more luxury cars ahead of the Brexit deadline to avoid tariffs that might be introduced following a hard Brexit. More than 3,800 luxury cars were imported in the past year, a 16% increase on the previous 12 months.
超級富豪也正趕在英國脫歐最后期限之前進(jìn)口更多豪華汽車，以避免"硬脫歐"后可能產(chǎn)生的關(guān)稅。過去一年英國進(jìn)口了3800多輛豪華汽車，較之前一年增長了16%。

'2nd-hand drinking' harmful
'二手酒'危害堪比二手煙

It's easy to imagine how second-hand smoke can impact an innocent bystander. But it's not the only habit that can affect others; "second-hand drinking" is a thing, too. A study in the US has placed its effects on par with second-hand smoking. 
很容易想象，二手煙會影響無辜的旁人。但二手煙并非唯一會影響別人的習(xí)慣，"二手酒"也會。美國一項研究認(rèn)為，二手酒所產(chǎn)生的影響堪比二手煙。

Using US national survey data from 2015, research has found that each year, one in five American adults - which is an estimated 53 million people - experience harm because of someone else's drinking. These harms include things like threats or harassment, which was the most commonly cited, as well as physical aggression, drunk driving, and even financial or family problems. 
通過2015年美國全國調(diào)查數(shù)據(jù)，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)美國每年有1/5的成年人(約5300萬人)，因他人飲酒而受到傷害。這些傷害包括最常提及的威脅和騷擾，以及身體攻擊、酒駕，甚至還涉及財政或家庭問題。

Young people under the age of 25 were mostly on the receiving end. For men, this harm was usually from a stranger and resulted in ruined property, or physical aggression. But for women, the drinker tended to be a family member, causing financial issues or problems in the house.
不到25歲的年輕人大多是二手酒的受害者。對男性來說，這種傷害通常來自陌生人，會造成財產(chǎn)損失或身體攻擊。但對女性來說，醉酒者往往是某個家庭成員，由此會導(dǎo)致經(jīng)濟問題或家庭問題。

Huawei gets new extension
美再延期執(zhí)行華為禁令

The US Department of Commerce announced Monday that it will extend a temporary license loosening restrictions on business deals with Chinese tech giant Huawei for another 90 days. The reprieve came after the Department of Commerce put Huawei and its 68 affiliates on an Entity List in May. 
美國商務(wù)部19日宣布，將把放寬與中國科技巨頭華為進(jìn)行商業(yè)交易限制的"臨時許可證"再次延長90天。今年5月，美國商務(wù)部將華為及其68家關(guān)聯(lián)企業(yè)列入"實體清單"。

The department on May 20 issued a 90-day temporary license to ease off part of the restrictions. The temporary easing came amid concerns that Huawei's customers in the US will suffer without access to Huawei's services. 
5月20日，美國商務(wù)部向華為發(fā)放90天的臨時許可證，以減緩部分限制。此次臨時放寬限制是因為美國擔(dān)心本土的華為用戶因無法使用華為的服務(wù)而遭受損失。

In response, Huawei said in a statement later on Monday that "The extension of the Temporary General License does not change the fact that Huawei has been treated unjustly." The company called on the US government to put an end to this unjust treatment and remove Huawei from the Entity List.
當(dāng)天晚些時候，華為發(fā)表聲明回應(yīng)此事稱，臨時一般許可證的延期并沒有改變?nèi)A為被不公正對待的事實。華為呼吁美國政府停止對華為的不公正對待，將華為移出實體清單。
