>Hunt makes 'terrible' gaffe 
英外交大臣访华现口误
把中国妻子说成日本人
Jeremy Hunt, Britain's new foreign secretary, has made an awkward debut in China when he sought to curry favor with his hosts by mentioning his Chinese wife, but accidentally referred to her as "Japanese". Hunt, who was on his first official visit to China since taking over from Boris Johnson, quickly acknowledged the "terrible" error. "My wife is Japanese – my wife is Chinese. That's a terrible mistake to make," he told his counterpart, the Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi. "My wife is Chinese and my children are half-Chinese and so we have Chinese grandparents who live in Xi'an and strong family connections in China," he added.

英国新任外交大臣杰里米•亨特第一次访华出现了十分尴尬的一幕,他本想通过提及自己的中国妻子来讨好东道主,但却不小心把妻子说成是"日本人"。接替鲍里斯•约翰逊后首次正式访华的亨特很快承认了这个"糟糕"的错误。他对中国外交部长王毅说:"我的妻子是日本人——我的妻子是中国人。这个错误真是太糟糕了。"他补充道:"我的妻子是中国人,我的孩子也是半个中国人。孩子的外祖父母住在西安,我们在中国有着很强的家庭纽带。"

>Secret to men's happiness
研究:男性学业差会痛苦
Failing to match the academic achievements of your parents can be as distressing for men as a divorce, a study suggests. Oxford University researchers found that exceeding parents' educational attainment was linked to decreased psychological distress in men - but falling short was linked to an increase. Men whose educational status was at the bottom level and whose parents were at the top level were more than twice as likely to be among the 10% of most psychologically distressed people than those whose educational level matched their parents'. However women did not appear to be affected by failing to keep up with their parents. "The reason for this could be that men are more likely than women to attribute success and failure by pointing to their own merits, abilities and effort, rather than factors they have no control over," said study co-author Dr Alexi Gugushvili.
研究显示,对男性来说,学业成绩比不上父母的痛苦程度堪比离婚。牛津大学的研究人员发现,超过父母的学业造诣能减少男性的心理痛苦,但不及父母的学业造诣会增加心理痛苦。自己的受教育程度最差,而父母的学业造诣处于顶级水平的男性成为心理最痛苦人群的可能性是与父母的受教育程度持平的男性的两倍多。心理最痛苦人群占总人口的10%。然而女性似乎不会受到学业成绩不及父母的影响。研究合著者亚力克西•古古什维利博士称,个中原因可能是,男性比女性更容易把成败归因于个人的优点、能力和付出,而不是他们无法掌控的因素。

>Fake accounts found on FB
脸书删除'带节奏'假账号
Facebook announced Tuesday that its security unit has found a coordinated campaign on its platform aiming to exert political influence ahead of the upcoming US midterm elections in the next few months. Facebook said it has removed 32 pages and accounts from Facebook and Instagram for being "involved in coordinated inauthentic behavior." Facebook said it found more than 290,000 accounts followed at least one of these pages, the earliest of which was created in March 2017. The latest was created in May 2018. They ran about 150 ads for approximately $11,000 on Facebook and Instagram. Facebook determined that those pages have created about 30 events since May 2017, and the largest had 1,400 users saying that they would attend.
脸书7月31日宣布,其安全部门在公司旗下平台上发现了一项有组织行动,目的是在数月后即将到来的美国中期选举之前施加政治影响力。脸书称,公司已在脸书和Ins上删除了32个网页和账户,理由是"涉嫌蓄意编造虚假信息"。脸书称,超过29万个账户至少关注了其中的一个网页,其中最早的创建于2017年3月,最迟的创建于2018年5月。它们在脸书和Ins上花费约1.1万美元打了约150个广告。脸书确定,这些网页自从2017年5月以来共制造了大约30个事件,最大的事件中有1400个用户表示愿意参加。
