中国人民银行9月6日对外公布,定于9月10日起陆续发行中华人民共和国成立70周年纪念币一套(a set of coins to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China)。
The set includes two gold, four silver and one copper alloy coins, all legal tender, the People's Bank of China said on its website.
中国人民银行在官网表示,该套纪念币共7枚,其中金质纪念币2枚,银质纪念币4枚,双色铜合金纪念币1枚,均为中华人民共和国法定货币。
【单词讲解】
Tender这个词用法很多,比较常见的是作为形容词表示“温柔的、和善的”,比如,tender heart;另外,tender也可以作为动词或名词使用,动词的时候表示“提出”,比如:tender one's resignation;作名词时可表示“货币,投标”等,常见的搭配有make a tender of(投标),legal tender(法定货币)。
All coins feature the national emblem on the obverse and are inscribed with Chinese characters reading "the 70th anniversary of the founding of the PRC" on the reverse side.

One of the gold coins, with a diameter of 60 mm, contains 150 grams of gold and has a denomination of 2,000 yuan (about $281.29). The other gold coins, 22 mm in diameter, contains 8 grams of gold and has a denomination of 100 yuan, according to the central bank.

智能路灯杆 smart lamp posts
Lamp posts in 17 streets of Haidian district are being upgraded into smart lamp posts that integrate roles of monitoring traffic violations, showing road signs and holding 5G facilities.
海淀区17条道路的路灯杆正在进行升级改造,升级之后的智能路灯杆将融合交通违章抓拍、道路名牌显示以及承载5G设施等功能。
【单词讲解】
Upgrade和update都有“更新,升级”的意思,但在具体使用时有一些区别,update是在产品发布以后,针对用户反馈的问题以及产品运行过程中出现的bug随时推出的一些解决方案,相当于软件的“补丁”;而upgrade则是用更新、性能更好的版本取代旧版本,相当于软件“升级”。一般来说,update的频率要高于upgrade的频率。
此次北京市“多杆合一”试点改造的内容,主要是对现有的路灯(road lamps)、违章抓拍(traffic violation monitoring)、治安探头(public order monitoring)、街道监控(streets monitoring)、道路名牌(road signs display)及5G等专业的单一杆体进行杆体合并。“多杆”整合后,各种设施和标识标牌都将尽量整合到一根综合杆上。
通州的多功能路灯杆则更加“智能”,将大气监测(air quality monitoring)、违停监控(illegal parking monitoring)、5G上网、指路服务(giving road direction)等多种功能全部集成在一根小小的路灯杆上。
不仅如此,人行便道上阻碍通行的变电箱(substation box)、通信电箱(electricity supply box for communication)等都将隐藏,天空中显眼的各种飞线(overhead power lines)则会入地。
