>Disney culls 'Fox' in rebrand
迪士尼给福斯影业更名

Disney executives have cut the word "Fox" from their 20th Century Fox film studio in an apparent bid to distance it from operations of the previous owner, Rupert Murdoch.
近日,迪士尼高层将"20世纪福克斯电影制片厂"中的"福克斯"名称移除,目的显而易见是为与该制片厂前任东家、媒体大亨默多克的业务保持距离。

US media suggests Disney does not want to be associated with the media mogul's highly partisan, right-wing Fox News network. However, Disney has not clarified its reasons.
美国媒体认为,迪士尼不想和默多克旗下党派旗帜鲜明的右翼媒体福克斯新闻网扯上关系,不过迪士尼方面并未对此给出明确原因。

It bought the studio, with other media operations, in a $71 billion deal last March.

20th Century Fox is known for producing some of the biggest films of all-time, including Avatar and Titanic.
20世纪福克斯因制作《阿凡达》、《泰坦尼克号》等大片而闻名。

Disney has also renamed Fox Searchlight Pictures, the arthouse arm, as simply Searchlight Pictures.
迪士尼还将专门出品艺术电影的子公司"福克斯探照灯影业"更名为"探照灯影业"。

Variety magazine, which broke the news about the name change, said the 20th Century Fox studio's well-known fanfare theme and searchlight logo will be retained.
爆料更名新闻的《综艺》杂志称,"20世纪福克斯工作室"的经典号角主题以及探照灯标识将得以保留。

>No massive outbreak for disease
专家回应新型肺炎疫情

The latest evidence has proved that the new virus causing the pneumonia outbreak in Wuhan can spread from human to human, said Zhong Nanshan, head of a high-level expert team organized by the National Health Commission. But the pneumonia outbreak will not evolve into a massive outbreak similar in scale to the SARS outbreak 17 years ago, Zhong said at a news conference on Monday.
20日,国家卫健委高级别专家组组长钟南山在记者会上表示,最新证据已表明,武汉新型病毒肺炎会人传人,但不会重复17年前SARS那样的疫情。

However, the number of cases of the new virus is expected to continue rising during the Spring Festival holiday, due to the large number of people traveling nationwide, which will make the disease spread more easily, he said.
然而春运期间人员流动大,会导致疾病传播更加容易,因此患病人数可能继续上升。

Zhong said to prevent the spread of disease, it is important that the authorities in Wuhan take strict measures to identify suspected cases and advise people with a high body temperature, which is a major symptom of the disease, not to leave the city.
钟南山表示,要阻止疾病传播,很重要的一方面是武汉要采取严格措施鉴别疑似病例,体温高的人不建议离开武汉。

In addition, people with confirmed cases must get treatment under quarantine as soon as possible, he said.
