English to Chinese: How the Tokyo Olympics Became the Most Expensive Summer Games Ever General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - English Narrator: The Tokyo Olympics made history even before they began. They’re the first Games to ever be postponed. They’re also on track to be the most expensive Summer Olympic Games ever.
Alastair Gale: So when Japan won its bid to host the Olympics in 2013, it said that it would cost around $7.4 billion. But before the pandemic, the budget had risen by 70% to $12.6 billion, and that’s not really surprising.
Narrator: Later, Japan’s Board of Audit said the cost would exceed $20 billion. That was before pandemic-related costs set in.
Alastair Gale: So the biggest costs for the Olympics are the facilities: the new National Stadium here in Tokyo, as well as several other large facilities, aquatic center and others that have been built for the Games. And those cost over $3 billion. And there was about the same amount that was spent on renovating other facilities to bring them up to standard for the Games. So the whole thing, in terms of venues, was around $7.5 billion. And the other big cost is the operational budget for the Olympics. It’s around $2 billion.

English to Chinese: 智利葡萄酒出口中國 General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - English Founded in 2012, it now leads Chile’s wine exports to China, ahead of dominant brands Concha y Toro and Montes. China’s size and diversity mean there is no common pattern for bottles and labels. “It is essential to be flexible,” says Ms Malbrán.
This business model has fostered a flourishing label-design sector in Chile to cater for China’s changing requirements. It is a huge challenge, says Carlos Scheuch of Colorama, a label-maker, not least because the labels must withstand rough weather and extreme temperatures on the month-long journey across the Pacific to China, then overland to the retailers.
“The label designs are spectacular,” he says. They involve different textures, unusual shapes and advanced printing techniques such as embossing, silk-screen printing and coloured metallic foils. Gold and silver are favoured colours.

English to Chinese: After the disease General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Medical: Health Care
Source text - English WHEN WILL it end? For a year and a half, covid-19 has gripped one country after another. Just when you think the virus is beaten, a new variant comes storming back, more infectious than the last. And yet, as the number of vaccinations passes 3bn, glimpses of post-covid life are emerging. Already, two things are clear: that the last phase of the pandemic will be drawn-out and painful; and that covid-19 will leave behind a different world.
This week The Economist publishes a normalcy index, which reflects both these realities. Taking the pre-pandemic average as 100, it tracks such things as flights, traffic and retailing across 50 countries comprising 76% of Earth’s population. Today it stands at 66, almost double the level in April 2020.
Yet the ravages of covid-19 are still apparent in many countries. Consider our index’s worst performer, Malaysia, which is suffering a wave of infections six times more deadly than the surge in January and scores just 27. The main reason for this is that vaccination remains incomplete.
Translation - Chinese 這場疫情到底何時結束？新冠疫情在這一年半的時間內卷席了一個又一個國家。當你以為疫情已告一段落時，新的變種病毒捲土重來，再創新的感染數字。即使如此，隨著疫苗接種數量已超過30億，後疫情生活的跡象似乎已開始展現。到目前為止，至少我們能明確確定兩件事：疫情的最後階段將漫長而痛苦，而疫情也將改變整個世界的面貌。

Hundreds of firefighters have been battling huge blazes that have forced thousands of people to flee their homes and destroyed dozens of properties. “We may have done what was humanly possible, but in many cases it was not enough,” One of the firefighters said. Thick smoke is still pouring off the island of Evia, north-east of Athens, which has been ablaze for a week.

Source text - English Tung flowers bloom during April and May of each year. Miaoli
County then would hold its Tung Flower Festival annually. When the tung flowers bloom, white tung flowers cover the mountains. When a breeze comes, tung flower petals float to the ground like snowflakes, otherwise known as “May Snow”.
Hakkanese make up the majority of Miaoli County residents; therefore, authentic Hakka delicacies are around there. There are dishes
like pig’s knuckle with preserved vegetables, pork large intestines with
shredded ginner, and many others.

由於客家人是苗栗縣主要構成人口，當地處處都可品嚐到地道美味的客家菜，例如柞菜豬手、薑蓉豬大腸等的特色菜。
English to Chinese: Govt focused on seniors’ jabs General field: Other
Source text - English The Government will make every effort to facilitate the elderly to get COVID-19 jabs in the coming months, Secretary for the Civil Service Patrick Nip said today.
Meeting the media after attending a radio programme, Mr Nip explained the Government’s latest vaccination strategy.
“Our focus in the coming months is to boost up the vaccination rate for the elderly because they are the vulnerable group that we have to protect, and to build a strong protective shield in the community.
“We will try every possible channel to facilitate the elderly to get the jabs including arranging outreach service at shopping malls, in housing estates, or arranging talks, medical consultation and vaccination service on site in different districts.”
Mr Nip pointed out that apart from easy booking, the elderly can receive walk-in jabs at community vaccination centres via same-day tickets.
He said whether to expand the coverage of the ticket arrangement, currently open to five groups including seniors, will depend on the centres’ capacity and other factors.
“If possible, we will of course consider expanding the coverage of the same-day tickets to facilitate more people including the elderly to get the jabs easily.”

English to Chinese: Why 'Before And After' Photos Are More Problematic Than You Think General field: Other
Source text - English Before and after photos are ubiquitous for a reason. They’re what marketers call a “social trigger” – a type of content that prompts those who see it to feel or act a certain way. They make it clear to viewers that one situation (the “after”) is more desirable than another (the “before”).
Think of before and after photos focused on weight loss, for example. If a group of people looked at a single photo of someone standing in a bathing suit, each person in that group might have a different reaction. Some might feel attracted to the person, others might feel indifferent about the person and others might focus on something else entirely – like what the person is wearing or how the sunset looks behind them.
But if that same photo is shown next to another photo of the same person, in which they wear a similar bathing suit but have a larger body, the reactions of the group looking at the photo become much more uniform. They notice the size of the person’s body in both photos before anything else. That comparison is the trigger.
Translation - Chinese 事出必有因。市場營銷界所提出的「觸發效應」讓社交媒體充斥著前後對比圖。「社會觸發功能」是指某類能夠促使觀眾產生特定感受或作出特定行為的內容。這些內容讓觀眾認為其中一個情況（即結果）比起另一個情況（即先前）更為吸引。

English to Chinese: The Ultimate Diet? Keto Diet 生酮飲食法 General field: Marketing Detailed field: Food & Drink
Source text - English Similar to the Atkins diet, keto obtains more calories from fat – up to 90% – and fewer from carbohydrates. A ketogenic diet typically limits carbs to a maximum of 50 grams per day, about as much found in a medium-sized banana. This means out with bread, rice, potatoes
and pasta, and in with fish and shellfish, vegetables like kale, broccoli, and cauliflower, meat and poultry and eggs. Both healthy unsaturated fats – contained typically in nuts and avocados – and saturated fats, such as palm and coconut oil, lard, butter and cocoa butter are also firmly on the menu.
Translation - Chinese 生酮飲食法與無澱粉飲食法原則類近，高達90%的熱量攝取來自脂肪，並大量減低碳水化合物的攝入。一般生酮飲食每天只允許攝入50克碳水化合物，等同於一根中型香蕉所含份量，因此不能攝入麵包、米飯、薯類及面類，但則可攝取魚類、貝類、蔬菜類（如甘藍、西蘭花及野菜花）、肉類、家禽類及蛋類食品。同時也可攝取不飽和脂肪（例如果仁和牛油果）以及飽和脂肪（例如棕櫚油、椰子油、豬油、牛油和可可脂）。
