日本作家村上春树拒绝新文学奖提名
Japanese writer Haruki Murakami has requested that his nomination for a new literature prize be withdrawn.
日本作家村上春树日前请求撤销一个新设立的文学奖项的提名。
Murakami was named in August as one of 4 finalists for the New Academy Prize in Literature, which was created after the Swedish Academy decided not to award a Nobel Prize in literature this year amid a sexual harassment scandal.
今年8月，村上获“新文学奖”提名，成为4名最终候选人之一。陷入性骚扰丑闻的瑞典学院决定今年不颁发诺贝尔文学奖，继而设立了“新文学奖”。
The other nominees for the alternative prize are British-born author Neil Gaiman, Guadeloupe-born Maryse Conde and Vietnam-born Kim Thuy.
这一替代奖项的其他几位提名者分别是英裔作家尼尔·盖曼、瓜德罗普裔作家玛丽斯·孔戴和越南裔作家金翠。
Swedish journalists and writers created the prize as a single-year stopgap award.
瑞典的记者们和作家们将其设立为“仅限于今年”的奖项。
The organizer of the prize, the New Academy, says Murakami expressed his gratitude for the nomination but he added that he prefers to concentrate on his writing.
该奖项的组织者“新学院”表示，村上对获得提名表示感谢，但称自己更想专注于写作。
The winner will be announced on Oct 12, after the Nobel Prize winners have been named. The award ceremony will be on Dec 9, the day before the Nobel Prize ceremony.
“新文学奖”的获奖者将在其它诺贝尔奖获奖人选揭晓后，于10月12日公布。颁奖典礼将在诺贝尔奖颁奖仪式前一天的12月9日举行。
悉尼歌剧院投射赛马广告引发争议
A government push to use the Sydney Opera House's sails to advertise a horse racing event over the wishes of the building's management sparked uproar among many Australians over the commercialization of an iconic landmark.
近日，澳大利亚政府不顾悉尼歌剧院管理层的意愿，力推用这一标志性建筑物的帆船外墙为一项赛马比赛做广告。对于这一将悉尼歌剧院商业化的举动，澳大利亚民众群情激愤。
The A$13 million Everest race, which boasts the world's biggest turf race prize, is due to take place in Sydney this week and organizers are pushing to promote it on the white wings of the Opera House.
总奖金额高达1300万澳元、号称“世界奖金最高草地赛”的“巅峰杯”将于本周在悉尼拉开帷幕，其主办方正在力图推动在悉尼歌剧院的白色外墙上对赛事进行宣传。
Critics say the World Heritage site should be protected from commercialization.
批评人士称这一世界遗产地应被保护，免遭商业化。
"Sydney's landmarks are not the playthings of those with money, they are ours and let's keep it that way," social activist Mike Woodcock wrote.
社会活动家麦克·伍德科克写道：“悉尼的标志性建筑并非有钱人的玩物，而是属于我们的，让我们来使它们保持原样。”
The Everest, which ran its inaugural race last year, is run over 1200 metres.
第一届“巅峰杯”是在去年举办的，赛程达到1200米。
"The version that is going to be displayed is much toned down from what the government was first presented with," the Herald reported NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian as saying.
《先驱报》援引新南威尔士州州长Gladys Berejiklian的话称：“对比政府最初提出的广告版本，即将展示的新版本会低调得多。”
印度第100座机场建成 距中国60公里
India's 100th airport, which was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the northern-eastern state of Sikkim on Monday, is arguably one of the world's most beautiful airports.
周一，印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪在该国东北部的锡金邦，为印度第100个机场举行落成典礼。该机场可以说是世界上最美丽的机场之一。
The state's airport at Pakyong, some 30km (18 miles) from the state capital, Gangtok, and has been described as an "engineering marvel".
锡金邦的这座机场位于帕雍，距离首府甘托克约30公里(18英里)，被称为“工程奇迹”。
Some 60km from the border with China, the airport is located on top of a hill above Pakyong village at 4,500ft (1,371 metres) above sea level and it's spread across over 201 acres.
该机场距离中国边境约60公里，位于帕雍村上方一座山顶上，海拔4500英尺(1,371米)，占地面积超过201英亩。
The airport is flanked by deep valleys at both ends of the 1.75km-long runway. It has two parking bays and a terminal building, which can handle about 100 passengers at a time.
机场两侧是长达1.75公里的跑道，两端是深谷。有两个停机坪和一个候机楼，一次可以接纳大约100名乘客。
Difficult topography and hostile weather conditions made this nine-year-long project "extremely challenging and exciting", according to a spokesperson for Punj Lloyd, an Indian company which built the runway.
负责建造跑道的印度公司布尼劳埃德集团的一位发言人称，地形和恶劣的天气条件使这个长达九年的项目“极具挑战性，让人心潮澎湃”。
Engineers say the main challenge was to carry out heavy earthwork construction at the site and lug equipment through narrow mountain roads. The weather -- Sikkim gets monsoon rains from April to September -- hindered work.
工程师们表示，最主要的挑战是进行重型土方施工，还要通过狭窄的山路拖运设备。另外，锡金从4月绵延至9月的雨季，也时常让工作受阻。
The hilly terrain and high seismicity were among some of the other challenges engineers faced on the rocky slopes.
丘陵地形和活跃的地质活动是工程师在岩石斜坡上面临的另一个挑战。
The entire airport, including the runway, has been built on land which was itself created by building an embankment wall as high as 263ft in deep valleys. Punj Lloyd says it is one of the tallest "reinforcement" walls in the world.
包括跑道在内的整个机场，都建在深谷中修筑的高达263英尺的堤墙之上。布尼劳埃德方面称其是世界上最高的加固墙之一。
Commercial flight operations from Pakyong will begin on 4 October. The airport is expected to boost tourism to Sikkim, which is home to a number of peaks, glaciers and high altitude lakes.
帕雍机场将于10月4日正式开始商业运营。该机场预计将促进锡金的旅游业。锡金冰川山峰众多，还有很多高海拔湖泊。
失窃13年的《绿野仙踪》红宝石鞋终被找回
A pair of ruby slippers worth millions that were featured in the movie "The Wizard of Oz" and stolen from a Judy Garland museum 13 years ago have been recovered in Minneapolis, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said last Tuesday.
1939年的经典影片《绿野仙踪》中使用的一双红宝石鞋13年前在朱迪·嘉兰博物馆遭窃，不过美国联邦调查局(FBI)上周二宣布，已在明尼阿波里斯市寻获这双价值数百万美元的红鞋。
The FBI said it was asking the public to help identify suspects connected with the original theft and a more recent scheme to extort money from the owners of the red sequined shoes, one of four pairs worn by Judy Garland, who played Dorothy in the 1939 classic.
FBI表示，正在请求公众帮助辨认13年前盗窃案的嫌疑人以及最近发生的一起针对这双红色亮片鞋主人的勒索案嫌疑人。这双鞋是饰演桃乐丝的朱迪·嘉兰在影片中穿过的四双红色亮片鞋之一。
The slippers were stolen from the Judy Garland Museum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, during a "smash-and-grab" robbery during the overnight hours of Aug 27 to 28, 2005, that took less than a minute.
2005年8月27日深夜或28日凌晨，明尼苏达州大急流城的朱迪·嘉兰博物馆发生打砸抢劫案，这双浅口鞋被盗，整个作案过程不超过一分钟。
After their recovery, the slippers were sent to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington, DC, where conservators studying the construction, materials and wear patterns of the slippers were able to confirm that they were the missing pair.
被寻获后，这双鞋被送往华盛顿特区的史密森尼美国国家历史博物馆，修复人员研究过鞋子的构造、材质和磨损情况后，确认这双鞋正是之前丢失的那一双。
"We were confident this day would eventually come, and we are grateful to the FBI and all those who worked to bring this piece of cinematic treasure out of the shadows and into the light," Grand Rapids Police Chief Scott Johnson said in a written statement.
大急流城警察局局长斯科特·约翰逊在一份书面声明中表示：“我们知道这一天终将到来，我们非常感谢FBI和所有那些努力让这片电影宝藏重见天日的人。”
Garland, a native of Grand Rapids who was born Frances Ethel Gumm, was best known for her role as Dorothy in the film.
嘉兰出生于大急流城，原名弗朗西丝·埃塞尔·古姆，因在影片中饰演桃乐丝而出名。
"After all, 'There's no place like home,'" the chief said, echoing one of Dorothy's most famous lines.
约翰逊局长引用了桃乐丝最著名的一句话，说道：“毕竟，没有任何地方可以像家一样。”
