路透社:欧洲“飞来号”着陆器成功登录彗星
=====精彩回顾=====
Europe makes space history as Philae probe lands on comet
欧洲“飞来号”着陆器成功登录彗星
Smiles and celebrations at the European Space Agency. After a seven hour descent from the spacecraft Rosetta, the agency's Philae space probe had landed successfully on a comet. The landing marks a major triumph in a mission that took 10 years and traveled 6.4 billion km to arrive at the comet. The probe, seen here from Rosetta's narrow-angle camera, after separation, will now begin collecting samples from the surface of the comet, which scientists hope, will shed light on the solar system...and the origins of life.
欧洲航天局一片微笑和庆祝的场景。从“罗塞塔”号探测器上脱离七个小时之后，欧洲航天局“飞来号”航空探测器成功登陆一颗彗星。这次着陆标志着耗时10年的任务的胜利。这颗着陆器共飞行了64亿千米的路程。从“罗塞塔”号的窄角摄象机可以看到，脱离后，“飞来号”将开始收集彗星表面的样本。科学家希望可以更好地了解太阳系和生命的起源。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) ESA DIRECTOR THOMAS REITER SAYING: "It's a lot of new information about the origins of our solar system, of our own planet, the water which is on our planet -- does it come from such comets? Could it be that the origin of life has not evolved here on earth but was brought to earth via such comets? And I think that indeed justifies all this effort."
ESA局长THOMAS REITER：“关于我们的太阳系，我们的星球，地球上的水的起源有许多新的信息——是否来自这样的彗星？生命的起源是否并不是来自地球上的进化，而是通过这样的彗星来到地球的？我认为这些问题都证明所有的努力都是值得的。”
And that effort is far from over. The probe may be the first ever to have landed on a comet, but it's work is only just beginning.
而该努力还远远没有结束。该探测器或许是有史以来第一个在彗星着陆的，但这仅仅是开始。

埃博拉治疗中心医生KATARINE ARRANA：“知道会有更多病例，而且感染这种疾病的风险非常高，我们感到非常有压力。”
Government officials say all necessary steps to identify those who came into contact with the nurse have been taken. The deaths make Mali the sixth West African nation to be affected, by the world's worst outbreak of the deadly virus.
政府官员表示，已经采取一切必要措施鉴别曾经接触过这位护士的人。两起死亡病例导致马里成为受这起世界上最严重的致命疫情爆发影响的第六个西非国家。

路透社军事:调查人员在MH17坠毁地点搜集残骸
Dutch investigators collect remains at MH17 crash site
荷兰调查人员在MH17坠毁地点搜集残骸
Dutch investigators are back in eastern Ukraine, where nine victims of the MH17 disaster remain missing. The Malaysia Airlines plane was brought down in July, killing all 298 passengers and crew -- two-thirds of whom were Dutch nationals. Signs on the crash site grounds read "Entry prohibited. Remains of victims of MH17 crash might be present here." Fighting between pro-Russian rebels and Ukrainian forces in the area has prevented the investigators from carrying out a full recovery. And winter is coming, threatening to further complicate efforts. The aircraft is widely believed to have been hit by a surface-to-air missile fired from rebel-held territory. Kiev has blamed the rebels and accuses Moscow of arming them. Both rebels and Moscow deny the accusations. Regardless of who's to blame, Dutch relatives of the victims are growing increasingly frustrated, saying their government has been too cautious about going to the crash site to repatriate the bodies and investigate the crash.
CCTV9视频:中国电子商务巨头走向全球化
China's e-commerce giant going global
中国电子商务巨头走向全球化
In China, November 11th or 11-11' marks Singles Day'. But for China's largest e-commerce company, Alibaba, it's the biggest shopping day of the year. This year, sales on its platforms hit a record 57.1 billion yuan, or 9.3 billion US dollars, after completing the world's biggest initial public offering ever, two months ago.
The 11th of the 11th was once a little-known Chinese holiday. Invented by students, to celebrate being single.
Then China’s e-commerce giant, Alibaba, turned it into an online shopping bonanza. Merchants wanting to take part in the sale on its platforms, including Tmall and Taobao - must give shoppers discounts of at least 50 percent.
"Since it launched, I always used Taobao. It’s convenient, because you save more time than shopping outside. Unless it’s something I need,I wait until Singles’ Day to buy it, to get a big discount. Today I’m hoping to buy some new clothes and a treadmill. It was 4,000 yuan before, now it’s half price, around 2,000," Online shopper Lu Hua said.
In return, Alibaba boosts website hits and support services for vendors. So they can run and market their stores better.
And it seems to be working. With sales of 10 billion yuan - or one and a half billion US dollars - in the first 38 minutes.
Now, the shopping spree is going global, through a new international platform, AliExpress.
This year, American Eagle, Zara and Calvin Klein are among the international brands taking part in the super-sale, for the first time.
Last year, this sale made 35 billion yuan or 5.7 billion dollars, in one day. That’s more than three times what Americans spent during Black Friday and Thanksgiving combined. One of the reasons is customers feel safe, with Alibaba holding their money from vendors, until buyers receive their goods.
As well as more security for customers, AliExpress, charges a lower commission to vendors, than Amazon and EBay. But e-commerce analyst,Jialin Jiang, says it’s product range can’t compete with those overseas rivals - yet.
"It (AliExpress) is still in the very early stages. And it can only sell goods like t-shirts and mobile phones. It’s not like Taobao or Tmall - they are selling more than that. It can’t compare with Amazon and EBay, because it is still a little small, just like a child, but it will grow very fast," Jiang said.
Since listing on the New York stock exchange in September, Alibaba’s stock surged more than 70 percent.
Its executive chairman, Jack Ma, was invited to the APEC Summit in Beijing. But he declined, saying he was busy, with the singles’ day sale.
A sign of just how important that one day is, for China’s increasingly global e-commerce giant.
