China will advance the construction of 150 new major water conservancy projects.The projects are expected to increase the storage capacity for flood control by 9 billion cubic meters and the annual water supply capacity by 42 billion cubic meters, said Su Wei, an official with the NDRC at a briefing.
国家发展改革委副秘书长苏伟表示，我国抓紧推进建设150项重大水利工程建设。工程实施后，预计可新增防洪库容约90亿立方米，增加年供水能力约420亿立方米。

这150项重大水利工程（major water conservancy projects）主要包括防洪减灾（flood control and disaster relief）、水资源优化配置（optimized allocation of water resources）、灌溉节水和供水（irrigation and water supply）、水生态保护修复（water ecological protection and restoration）、智慧水利（smart water conservancy）等5大类。

今年的《政府工作报告》提出：重点支持既促消费惠民生又调结构增后劲的“两新一重（新型基础设施、新型城镇化和重大工程，new infrastructure and new urbanization initiatives and major projects）”建设。

主要是：

加强新型基础设施建设，发展新一代信息网络，拓展5G应用，建设数据中心，增加充电桩、换电站等设施，推广新能源汽车，激发新消费需求、助力产业升级。
First, we will step up the construction of new types of infrastructure. We will develop next-generation information networks, expand 5G applications, and develop data centers. We will build more battery charging and swapping facilities and promote wider use of new-energy automobiles. We will stimulate new consumer demand and promote industrial upgrading.

加强新型城镇化建设，大力提升县城公共设施和服务能力，以适应农民日益增加的到县城就业安家需求。新开工改造城镇老旧小区3.9万个，支持管网改造、加装电梯等，发展居家养老、用餐、保洁等多样社区服务。
Second, we will strengthen the development of a new type of urbanization. We will do more to improve public facilities and services in county seats, so as to meet the growing demand to work and settle in them among rural residents. We will begin the renovation of 39,000 old urban residential communities and support the upgrading of plumbing and wiring and the installation of elevators in old residential buildings; we will encourage the development of community services such as elderly home care, the provision of meals, and cleaning services.

加强交通、水利等重大工程建设。增加国家铁路建设资本金1000亿元。健全市场化投融资机制，支持民营企业平等参与。要优选项目，不留后遗症，让投资持续发挥效益。
Third, we will redouble efforts to develop major transportation and water conservancy projects, and increase national railway development capital by 100 billion yuan. We will improve market-based investment and financing mechanisms to support private enterprises in participating in projects on an equal footing. We will ensure that projects are up to standard, so they do not create any undesired consequences and the investments made deliver long-term returns.

重大水利工程是“两新一重”建设的重要内容。

The total investment in the projects is estimated to reach 1.29 trillion yuan ($184.38 billion), which is expected to drive investment of about 6.6 trillion yuan and offer about 800,000 job positions annually on average, Su said.
苏伟表示，150项工程匡算总投资大致是1.29万亿元，能够带动投资6.6万亿元，年均新增就业岗位80万个。

跨省区市团队旅游 group tours that cross provincial borders

Travel agencies in China have been given permission to resume group tours that cross provincial borders, following a period of suspension due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism said in the circular. However, group tours in those areas with middle and high COVID-19 risk levels and overseas group tours are still not allowed, said the circular.
文化和旅游部发布的通知指出，各地可恢复旅行社经营跨省（区、市）团队旅游，中、高风险地区不得开展团队旅游。出入境旅游业务暂不恢复。受新冠肺炎疫情影响，跨省（区、市）团队旅游一度暂停。

【单词讲解】

说到“暂停”，我们可能立即会想到pause这个词，不过，在具体使用的时候，pause更偏重“短时间暂停（后继续进行某事）”的意思，比如：He talked for two hours without pausing for breath.（他说了两个小时的话，都没有停下来喘口气。）On leaving, she paused for a moment at the door.（离开的时候，她在门口停顿了一下。）而上文中的suspension及其动词形式suspend多指“把事情停下来一阵子（直到有后续的决策）”，比如：Tour groups were suspended because of the epidemic.（由于疫情原因，团队游被暂时叫停了。）这里的“暂停”一般会持续一段时间，直到形势变化允许这件事能继续进行。

The limit on the number of visitors allowed in tourist attractions will be set at 50 percent of the maximum capacity, according to the circular, an increase on the previous limit of 30 percent.
各地旅游景区接待游客量由不得超过最大承载量的30%调至50%。

With strict epidemic prevention and control measures in place, indoor areas at scenic spots can open to the public through appointments and with restrictions on visitor numbers.
在严格落实各项防控措施的前提下，采取预约、限流等方式，开放旅游景区室内场所。

The circular also required travel agencies to provide sufficient protective materials, including masks, body-temperature testing equipment, and disposable gloves, for drivers, tour guides and tourists.
通知还要求旅行社为司机、导游和游客提供口罩、测温设备以及一次性手套等防护装备。

Tourists should show their health QR codes to travel agencies when signing up for group tours, and have the codes checked again before starting their travels, according to the circular, stressing that tourists with abnormal temperatures are not allowed to join tours.
游客报团时需向旅行社出示健康码，行程开始时需再次查验健康码，通知强调，体温异常的游客不允许参团。
