TEXT:Stranded more than two months in the freezing Andes mountains, these men celebrate life. The rugby team from Uruguay was headed to Chile for a match when the plane struck a mountain in 1972. Forty years later, they are in Chile playing that game and remembering their rescuers. PLANE CRASH SURVIVOR, CARLOS MIGUEL PAEZ, SAYING: "I think that this is a traditional date that we have kept for many years, and I think it is good we did. It's a day of reflection, a day of reflection on life as it does continue on. This is quite important to realise." Among the survivors was Daniel Fernandez who famously resorted to eating the flesh of frozen crash victims to survive. PLANE CRASH SURVIVOR, DANIEL FERNANDEZ, SAYING: "Thinking that 40 years ago to this hour we were there when the plane had fallen, and now I can be here to talk about it with the people we were to visit then. They have a special love for us and it all started with a rugby team." After learning they had been given up for dead, two of the men walked for 10 days until they met livestock farmer Sergio Catalan, who attended Saturday's match. The helicopter that rescued the men also made an appearance. Only 16 of the 45 people on the flight survived. Their saga was chronicled in a book, and later the movie "Alive".

Mo Yan's reaction
莫言的反应
He said, "It is a real surprise and a joy. There are plenty of excellent writers all over the world and also in China. I’ve never thought that I would win the prize. I feel very lucky, and I know that winning the prize doesn’t mean I’m the best.
莫言说:“我感到惊喜和快乐 。在世界各地包括中国,有许多优秀的作家 。我从不认为我能赢得这个奖项 。我觉得很幸运,我知道这个获奖并不意味着我是最好的 。
My feet are firmly on the ground and I hope all the interviews and media attention will soon pass, so that I can get on with my work. For a writer, the most important thing is his work, his focus on real life and a love of one’s country.
我很理智,希望所有的访谈和媒体关注将很快过去,这样我可以继续我的工作 。对于一个作家,最重要的是他的工作,专注于现实生活和对国家的热爱 。

Many of my early works are set in the surroundings where I was raised, and some of the characters in my books have been inspired by the people I grew up around. Without this land, and without these people, I wouldn’t be what I am today."
我许多早期作品都似乎以我成长的地方为背景,我书中的一些人物形象一直受我成长中周围人的影响 。没有这片土地,没有这些人,就没有今天的我 。

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And (ph) away ...
CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: It was an incredible thing to see. We are going to tell you how it all turned out. I`m Carl Azuz. Welcome to a new week of CNN STUDENT NEWS.
Last week we reported on Malala Yousafzai. She`s a blogger and an activist for education and women`s rights. She`s 14 years old. Last Tuesday, Malala was targeted and shot by the Taliban. That`s a militant group that has a strong presence in the part of Pakistan where Malala lives. Lot of her country has rallied behind her. Thousands of people turning out to be part of a demonstration in the city of Karachi this weekend. They were showing their support for Malala and speaking out against the Taliban and its strict policies. Those include denying girls the chance to get an education, and that`s something that Malala spoke out against. Pakistani officials say doctors are keeping a close watch on Malala. As of yesterday afternoon, she was unconscious and using a breathing machine, but authorities said she is making slow and steady progress.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: See if you can I.D. me. I am an organization that was established after World War II. I currently have 27 member countries. A continent is a part of my name, and my currency is the Euro.
I`m the European Union. And I`m responsible for my members` economic, social and security policies.
AZUZ: The Nobel Committee says the European Union`s efforts to advance peace, democracy and human rights are why that organization, the European Union is this year`s winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. The award was announced last Friday. It`s not the first time that an organization has won the Peace Prize instead of an individual person. The committee says the E.U.`s win is a message to the whole world about finding ways to solve conflicts. For more, we turn to Jonathan Mann.
JONATHAN MANN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Look past all the protests in the streets of Spain and Greece. Look past all the high level talks and tangled finances. Look back to the centuries of war in Europe, a place where nowadays dozens of countries are so completely at peace that virtually no one notices. The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Peace Prize for 2012 to the European Union. Because born out of the ashes of World War II as a way to unify the continent and keep it from fighting again, the Nobel Committee says the European Union has worked.
THORBJORN JAGLAND, CHAIR OF THE NORWEGIAN NOBEL COMMITTEE: Over a 70 year period, Germany and France had fought three wars. Today, war between Germany and France had -- is unthinkable. This shows of true well aimed efforts and while building mutual confidence, historic enemies can become close parties.
MANN: The partnership now includes 27 nations, with more waiting to join. 500 million people grappling with their own national politics evolving European institutions, and its still experimental common currency mired in crisis. Everything from interest rates to austerity measures and unemployment eventually leads back to the E.U. In the streets of Spain, where the economy went from boom to bust, the E.U. is both credited and criticized, and its Nobel Prize got a mixed reaction.
AZUZ: All right. We are wrapping up out Hispanic heritage month coverage today with a tasty segment for you. Here is some food for thought: did you know the names of some of the things we eat and drink have Spanish ties. Like the chocolate in my hot chocolate. It`s pronounced chocolate, the word comes from Nahuatl,, which is a group of languages from parts of Mexico and Central America. Another tasty word with Spanish routs is tomato, the name of this fruit, yes, this is technically a fruit, comes from Nahuatl, too. In Spanish, it`s tomate. We can`t give you fruit and dessert without a main course. Tuna, like the fish, comes from the Spanish word, atun.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I think it`s a pretty amazing event, that`s why I`m here with my daughter, to make sure that she sees it and is a part of it.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Also, once in a lifetime thing to see a special, all going down the street, especially at the streets of L.A., so I had to see it.
AZUZ: You heard it right, and it was a sight to see. A space shuttle rolling down the streets of Los Angeles, not part of a movie, it`s the final act for NASA`s shuttle program. That is Endeavour. It flew 123 million miles in space cruising along at supersonic speed. This weekend, it was crawling, just crawling along the roads of California. It`s not because of traffic. Endeavour had the streets to itself, as it`s slowly made its way to the California Science Center where it`s going on display. It turns out, this last journey had some holdups. Streets, no surprise aren`t designed for shuttles that are nearly 80 feet wide and more than 120 feet long. So some road signs had to be taken down, some trees, some of them very old, had to be cut down. But officials said aside from that, there were no reports of damage to or by the shuttle.
This was more like a space dive than a sky dive. Yesterday afternoon, Felix Baumgartner was trying to set the record for the highest jump, from 120,000 feet above the Earth. Not exactly, how it went down. He stepped out from his capsule at 128,000 feet. That is more than 24 miles up. Scientists say, he broke the speed of sound as he hurdled toward earth. You can imagine what that must have felt like. It took ten minutes for the 43-year old Austrian daredevil known as Fearless Felix to be back on solid ground. Max Foster spoke to him before his record shattering skydive.
MAX FOSTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: What no man has ever done before: jump from a capsule attached to a giant balloon from 120,000 feet where the view looks like this.
FELIX BAUMGARTNER, STRATOSPHERE SKYDRIVER: I`m going to slide the door open, bail out and then going to be the first human person in freefall, who`s breaking the speed of sound.
FOSTER: He makes it sound simple enough, but Felix Baumgartner`s attempt to jump from the edge of space comes after five years of exhaustive testing, development and even a legal hatch.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What`s the biggest challenge here, why have - has no one tried it before and what`s the challenge that you`ve managed to overcome to make it possible?
BAUMGARTNER: It needs a lot of research, it`s not just you lock yourself in a pressure capsule and you go up, you need a lot of research. You need to find the right people to work with.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Explain a bit more about the suit, how it works, and what sort of technology is in there.
BAUMGARTNER: So the suit is protecting you. It provides you with oxygen, it keeps temperature, the cold temperature out. It also -- you also need the pressure suit, because if you reach 65,000 feet, which is called the Armstrong Line, your blood starts boiling. And that suit keeps you alive.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It`s beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
FOSTER: Baumgartner is no stranger to death-defying stunts. He has based- jumped from the world`s tallest buildings, set a record for the lowest such jump of Rio`s Christ the Redeemer statue and completed the first crossing of the English Channel with a specially made fiber wing. But freefalling from the edge of space is a whole new ball game.
BAUMGARTNER: The big problem that we faced here, is at 120,000 feet you have no supportive air. So the first 30 seconds, you cannot use the air, and that requires a really stable exit, that`s the reason why we practiced a lot of bungee jumps.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Perfect.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You had a chance to meet Neil Armstrong. I just wanted to ask you about it, in 2010, didn`t you? So, what advice did he give you?
BAUMGARTNER: Well, he said, go for it, you`ve got the right team behind you, you are prepared, you have the skills, so he definitely thinks it`s possible.
AZUZ: Halloween still a couple of weeks away, but we are giving you a spooky showcase for your creative pumpkin projects right now.
We are talking about Halloween I-reports. You`ve got to be at least 13, send us your best by October, 26th, and your pumpkin, which doesn`t have to have my face on it, could pop up on cnn/studentnews. Boo-ya!
Before we go, maybe you don`t agree with one contestant in this cook-off, who said it`s what nature intended for people to eat. But if you are looking to make your taste buds really jump, you might go nuts for squirrel, and not just run off the fence grilled squirrel. We are talking about jalapeno squirrel poppers. Squirrel burgers and sliders, bacon wraps squirrel wings, not sure how they pulled off that last recipe, since squirrels don`t have wings, but there is no way we are going to squirrel out of having a little pun with this. Of course, it might sound a little nutty, some of you think all of our pans are acorny, but we always hop at the chance to put them to the nest, and frankly, I see nutting wrong with that. Thanks to our Facebook and Twitter followers for helping out with those, CNN STUDENT NEWS, we`ll tree you tomorrow.

【The Legal Battle Between Apple and Samsung】
This is the VOA Special English Technology Report.
这里是美国之音慢速英语科技报道 。
Samsung Electronics has won the latest case in its continuing battle with the American owned computer company Apple over property rights. A court in Japan ruled in favor of the South Korean company last week in a case involving its Galaxy series of smartphones and tablets.
三星电子在与美国苹果电脑公司的长期知识产权大战中赢得最新一局 。日本一家法院上周在涉及Galaxy系列智能手机和平板电脑的一起案件中裁定支持该韩国公司 。
The three-judge panel in Tokyo said the products did not violate the property rights of an Apple patent for organizing music and video across devices. The court also ordered Apple to pay all costs relating to the court case.
在东京,由三名法官组成的小组称,三星的产品并没有侵犯苹果跨设备整理音乐和视频这一专利的知识产权 。法院还判决苹果支付案件有关的一切费用 。
The case is just one of many in the worldwide legal battle between Apple and Samsung.
这只是苹果和三星全球法律大战众多案件中的一件 。
Last month, a jury in the state of California found the South Korean company guilty of willfully violating property rights on several patents owned by Apple. The California jury awarded Apple more than one billion dollars in damages.
上个月,加利福尼亚州的一个陪审团裁决该韩国公司在苹果拥有的多项专利上蓄意侵犯知识产权罪名成立 。加州陪审团判给苹果超过10亿美元损失 。
The patents include so-called utility patents for Apple’s “pinch to zoom” and “tap to zoom” technology. They also include design patents on the look and shape of the iPhone, and one for the home screen design.
这些专利包括苹果公司“捏拉缩放”和“点击缩放”技术这些所谓的实用新型专利,还包括就苹果外观和形状的外观设计专利,和主屏幕的设计 。
Madhavi Sunder is a professor of law at the University of California, Davis. She has also written a new book called “From Goods to a Good Life: Intellectual Property and Global Justice.” She says issues involving design patents are more complex.
Madhavi Sunder是加州大学戴维斯分校的法学教授 。她还写了一本新书,名为“从商品到美好生活:知识产权和全球正义” 。她表示,涉及外观设计专利的问题更加复杂 。
MADHAVI SUNDER: “These design patents are much more controversial. And a big question here is isn’t that what market competition is all about.”
MADHAVI SUNDER:“这些外观设计专利更有争议 。而一个很大的问题是市场竞争是关于什么?”
Professor Sunder says patents are meant to increase competition and support design and development.
Sunder教授称,专利是为了提高竞争力,支持设计和开发 。
MADHAVI SUNDER: “For Apple to say its design -- which becomes a new industry standard, the standard of sleek, cool, modern gadgets -- is something that only one company can have an exclusive right over, this is a real problem. And it raises the real question of whether or not we should be protecting designs with patents in the first place.”
MADHAVI SUNDER:“苹果公司称,它的设计已经成为一个新的行业标准,是时尚、酷、现代新发明的标准,只有一家公司可以拥有独占权?,这是一个现实的问题 。它提出了这样一个真正的问题,我们是否应该把保护设计专利摆在首位 。”
She says Apple built its computer company using the same methods that it is now opposing.
她说,苹果用它目前反对的相同做法建立了自己的电脑公司 。
MADHAVI SUNDER: “Steve Jobs, ironically, built Apple’s reputation on the fact that Apple freely took all the best ideas that were out there and tweaked them and modified them to create a better product. He often quoted Picasso who said ‘good artists copy but great artists steal.’ The said thing now is that Apple is saying they can do it but no one else after them can. This goes to the heart of what innovation is about.”
MADHAVI SUNDER:“具有讽刺意味的是,史蒂夫?乔布斯建立苹果的声誉是基于苹果免费采用了所有最好的创意并加以调整和修改从而创造一种更好的产品 。他经常引用毕加索的话‘好的艺术家复制作品,伟大的艺术家窃取灵感’ 。现在说的事情是,苹果公司说他们可以这样做,但在他们之后的其他人不可以 。这进入了什么是创新的这个重点 。”
Samsung said the California court’s verdict, in its words, "should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for American consumers.”
三星称加州法院的判决用它的话来说就是,“不应该被看作是苹果的胜利,而应该被看作是美国消费者的损失 。”
In a rare memo to its employees, the company said it would continue its fight until its arguments are accepted.
在一份罕见的三星公司给员工的备忘录中表示,它会继续斗争,直到其观点被接受 。
On the same day as the California ruling, a court in South Korea ruled in another case that both Apple and Samsung had violated each other’s patents.
在加州法院裁决的同一天,在韩国一家法院在另一起案件中裁定,苹果和三星都侵犯了对方的专利 。
