【Richest Chinese writers of 2012 released】2012中国作家财富排行榜出炉 莫言位列第二
We’ve seen two of the authors on the Richest Writers List, but who are the other ones? The List of Richest Chinese Writers was first released in 2006. And every year it has caused quite a stir in the country, especially on the Internet. This year, after the latest list was released last Thursday, it aroused an even more heated discussion as the Nobel Laureate Mo Yan reappeared on the list for the first time since 2006.
我们已经观看了最富作家排行榜的两位,那其它的花落谁家呢?中国最富作家排行榜于2006年首次发布 。每年在国内都引起了不小的骚动,特别是在互联网上 。今天在周四公布的最新排行榜因诺贝尔奖得主莫言的入围更加引发热议,这是自2006年以来莫言首次进入该榜单 。
Less than two months after winning the Nobel Prize for literature, Mo Yan claimed another distinction last week: China’s second-richest writer.
在获得诺贝尔文学奖不到两个月后,上周莫言又享有另一个荣誉:中国第二富有的作家 。
A surge of interest in his work at home and abroad brought the 57-year-old novelist an estimated annual royalties of 21.5 million yuan, or 3.5 million US dollars.
因国内外对其作品兴趣的高涨,预计每年给这位57岁的小说家带来2150万元或350万美元的版税 。
But the surge in book sales was not enough to beat renowned children’s author, Zheng Yuanjie, who returned to the top spot with 26 million yuan in annual income, equal to about 4.3 million US dollars.
尽管莫言的作品销量激增,但不足以击败著名儿童作家郑渊洁,他以年收入2600万元(相当于430万美元)重回作家财富榜榜首 。
Zheng is regarded as China’s answer to Hans Christian Andersen. He has created many popular fairy tale characters such as Pipilu and Shuke which has enchanted generations of teenage readers for 25 years. He has regularly featured in the top 10 since the list debuted in 2006.
郑渊洁被视为中国的安徒生 。他创造的许多童话人物如皮皮鲁和舒克备受欢迎,25年里吸引了一代又一代的青少年读者 。自2006年开榜以来他多次入围前十 。
Yang Hongying, who is also a well-known children’s author, placed third, with 20 million yuan.
杨红樱,另一位著名的儿童作家,以2000万元位居第三 。
The list ranked the 30 richest Chinese writers of 2012. And it was largely dominated by authors who wrote books for teenagers.
该榜单列举了30位中国最富作家,其中大部分都是创作青少年书籍 。
Teenage icon Guo Jingming, who topped the 2011’s list, made fourth place this year. And Han Han ranked 7th. The 29-year-old was placed second on Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2010.
青少年偶像郭敬明在2011年位居第一,今年排名第四 。韩寒位列第七,这位29岁的作家在《时代》周刊评选的2010年百位最具影响力人物中位列第二 。

【South Korea finds rocket debris】韩国发现朝鲜卫星残骸 美、日、韩指手画脚
Debris from the North Korean rocket launched into orbit has been discovered in South Korea. Wednesday's successful launch caused an international back-lash and raised concerns the county may be developing technology to launch a nuclear warhead. At the United Nations in New York, diplomat after diplomat voiced their condemnation for the launch.
来自朝鲜发射进入轨道的火箭残骸已经在韩国发现 。周三朝鲜火箭的成功发射引发国际社会的斥责,并引起朝鲜可能开发发射核弹头技术的担忧 。在纽约联合国,外交官们接二连三表示对此次发射的谴责 。
Korea's Ambassador to the UN said the launch-KIM SOOK, REPUBLIC OF KOREA'S AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED NATIONS, SAYING: "...constitutes a serious challenge and blatant violation of the Security Council resolutions..."
韩国驻联合国大使说Kim Sook说:“…(朝鲜发射火箭)构成了严重的挑战,并公然违反安理会决议……”
The U.S. Ambassador to the UN said the launch shows that -- SUSAN RICE, UNITED STATES' AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED NATIONS, SAYING: "...North Korea is determined to pursue its ballistic missile program without regard for its international obligations...."
美国驻联合国大使苏珊赖斯说:“…朝鲜下定决心研究弹道导弹计划,却不考虑其国际义务....”

CNN学生新闻
CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: When you say that`s something carved and stone it means it can`t be changed, right? Wait a few minutes before you answer that. I`m Carl Azuz. Welcome to CNN STUDENT NEWS.
After years of failed attempts, North Korea has sent a satellite into orbit. It was connected to a rocket that launched yesterday. Some experts called the launch a big deal for North Korea. Chance for the country to show off its progress with technology. Japan called the launch intolerable, and South Korea called it "a threat to the peace of the Korean Peninsula in the world." The issue here is that the technology used to launch this satellite is the same kind that could be used to launch a ballistic missile or an attack missile. Back in April, the United Nation Security Council demanded that North Korea stopped any launches that use missile technology. The group spoke out strongly against yesterday`s launch well.
SUSAN RICE, U.S. AMBASSADOR TO THE U.N.: The international community and our colleagues in the council have condemned this launch clearly and swiftly, as a clear violation of U.N. Security Council Resolutions.
AZUZ: Paula Hancocks looks at some impossible reasons for this launch and she has some reaction from both countries on the Korean Peninsula.
PAULA HANCOCKS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Dancing on a street in Pyongyang, the day North Korea claims its sent a satellite into orbit. The response from residents unsurprisingly patriotic.
"The successful launch of the satellite has sent a shock wave to the whole world" this man says. Pyongyang insists the program is peaceful. The United States, South Korea and others disagree. They consider the launch to be a cover for testing ballistic missile technology. North Korea`s foreign ministry rebuffed the criticism saying hostile forces are showing signs of a sinister bid to take issue with the launch. Concern on the streets of Seoul was more low key.
"Confrontation is never good," says this Seoul resident, "It causes military tension. But I think North Korea just wanted to show off." South Korea`s defense ministry says the North leader Kim Jong-Un needed to cement his control one year after he succeeded his father. Experts said he needed to prove himself to the military.
LEE CHUN MIN, PROFESSOR, YONSEI UNIVERSITY: "After having purged all the key figures over the last several months, he had to show the army that he was still in command and he had to show the people that despite the fact that North Korea was doing very poorly economically, they had the right to stand up against so-called imperialists` forces, but they want it as an embrace on a message that the army that I`m with you.
AZUZ: Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush. Three of these last four U.S. Presidents have served eight years in the White House. President Obama`s set to do the same thing. When your country`s leaders are in office that long, it can make it easier to remember what order they came in. In Japan, that might be more challenging.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So, would you like to play the prime minister game? It`s a very difficult challenge, so you have to place them in order, so ...
Oh, so close!
OK, what are you guys saying? Is it right? Is it correct? Do you think it`s correct? Yeah? Good job, it`s correct.
AZUZ: All right, so part of what makes that prime minister game so difficult is that in the past six years, Japan has had six different prime ministers. The country could get its seventh soon. Japan`s holding elections on Sunday, so what the Japanese people think about this turnover at the top of their government, and what kinds of challenges will their next prime minister face? Here `s Alex Zolbert with more.
ALEX ZOLBERT, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Is it frustrating that you`ve had so many leaders in six years?
(voice over): "It`s completely crazy," she says. Another woman tells us, it is unusual to have so many prime ministers. It`s a sign of Japan`s instability.
Obviously, the jokes can be made about the ever-changing prime minister here in Japan, but there are very serious issues at play. This country is in recession once again, it`s grappling with rising debt, as well as its biggest reconstruction efforts since World War II. Plenty to tackle for whoever will become this country`s seventh prime minister in just over six years. Alex Zolbert, CNN, Tokyo.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Today`s "Shoutout" goes out to Mr. Flynn`s classes at Unadilla Valley High School in New Berlin, New York.
Where will you find this memorial to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Here we go, is it in Atlanta, Georgia, Birmingham, Alabama, Memphis, Tennessee or Washington, D.C.? You`ve got three seconds, go!
The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial is part of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. That`s your answer and that`s your "Shoutout."
AZUZ: The memorial opened in October of last year. It includes more than a dozen quotes from Dr. King, but one led to some controversy, because it wasn`t an exact quote. Here is the inscription that`s carved into the monument.
"I was a drum major for justice, peace and righteousness." That`s not exactly what Dr. King said in the speech this came from. His full quote starts, "If you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness.
Maya Anjelou, a famous poet and author said that leaving out the world "if" change the meaning. She said it made Dr. King appear to be arrogant. Now, officials say they are going to remove the inscription. The work should start early next year.
There are no plans to replace the inscription, but do you think officials should? And if so, what do you think should go there? That`s what we are asking on our blog, tell us what you think and tell us only your first names at cnnstudentnews.com.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Is this legit: A squid is an example of a gastropod. Not true. Squid are cephalopods, which means they have tentacles attacked to their heads.
AZUZ: So we know they are cephalopods, we know they eat fish, shrimp and other squid and as far as Humboldt or jumbo squid go, we know they live about a year and that they like to hunt and migrate in groups. What we don`t know is why these things have been washing up on a California coast. Kiet Do of CNN affiliate KPIX tells us what theories researchers have.
KIET DO, KPIX CORRESPONDENT: The beaches of Santa Cruz County are littered with the carcasses of thousands of Humboldt squid. They`ve stranded themselves from Aptos to Watsonville, a span of 12 miles.
HANNA ROSEN, STANFORD UNIVERSITY GRADUATE STUDENT: You just see them essentially killing themselves and it`s just really weird to see it.
DO: It happened during high tide. Some people actually tried to put them back in the water, but researcher Hanna Rosen says the deepwater creatures swim right back to shore.
ROSEN: They don`t see the shore very often. So, it might just be that they don`t understand what`s going on around them, and they are just trying to get away and don`t realize that if they swim towards the shore they are going to run out of water, eventually.
DO: They are juveniles, both male and female, about a foot and a half long, weighing roughly three pounds. They had full stomachs, having feasted on smaller market squid, a few had also cannibalized each other, which is normal.
To be honest, researchers have no idea why this is happening. But they think it`s because the squid have eaten toxic algae.
ROSEN: It`s possible that the squid are ingesting either these neurotoxins or they are getting it through their food, and that could be causing them to be disoriented and swim on to the beach.
DO: Humboldt squid haven`t been in the Moderate Bay for a few years. Scientists believe El Nino weather patterns may have drawn them to the cooler waters of northern California. This is the third stranding in six weeks.
ROSEN: It`s really an exploratory time for us, so we are learning more about what causes these strandings and whether or not we should be worried about them, of it`s just a natural part of the squid cycle.
AZUZ: Before we go, baby talk. It`s something that Apple`s Siri system just doesn`t get.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: A-da-da.
SIRI: I don`t know what you mean by WWW. How about a web search for it?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: A-da-da.
SIRI: I don`t know what you mean by that. How about a web search for it?
AZUZ: Even if that video came off as a spoiled chat, it`s easy to see why he is the apple of someone`s eye. And we love how the kid smiles because, you know, he is not taking it too seriously. At the end of the day, it`s all phone and games. I`m going to hang it up for now. We hope you`ll answer when CNN STUDENT NEWS comes calling again on Friday. Bye now.
