Can Network Storytelling Make The Storytelling Prosperous Again?
网络评书，能否让评书重新繁荣？
The storytelling is one of the Chinese traditional arts, which is the same as the comic dialogue, both of which are minority/niche arts performances in the hall. However, with the ways of transmission changing, storytelling becomes the pervasive art now. Broadcast storytelling and TV storytelling had their glorious time in the past. In the 1980s, because of the deficiency of entertainment style, broadcast storytelling was the part of life.
评书是中国的传统艺术,传统评书和传统相声一样，都属于堂馆表演的小众艺术。但随着传播方式的改变，评书一度成为大众艺术，广播评书和电视评书都曾经辉煌一时。在上个世纪八十年代，由于娱乐方式的缺少，广播评书成为人们生活的一部分。
Nevertheless, with the kinds of entertainment style increasing, especially the coming of Internet Era, storytelling becomes minority/niche artgradually, and audiences are on the decrease. In the Internet Era, whether storytelling can develop vigorously again and how to do it become a problem for us now.
然而，随着人们娱乐方式的增多，特别是互联网时代的到来，评书艺术渐渐复归小众化，听众越来越少。在互联网时代，评书艺术能否振兴、如何振兴是我们必须思考的问题。
Without any doubt, no innovations, no development, especially in the Internet Era. As far as storytelling is concerned, we should study the transmission characteristics in this age. What Internet brings to us are not only convenience and speed, but the transformation and renovation of ideas.
当然，没有创新也就没有发展，特别是在当下的互联网时代。对评书而言，要研究互联网时代评书艺术的传播特点。互联网不只是带来方便和快捷，还有观念的变化与更新。
Whether the art of storytelling can develop as it seems, depends on market demands and on whether the audiences or netizens like it. But as a matter of fact, what most important is that if the storytelling art has attraction itself. Inheritance is the important part of the development of traditional art, which will losesupport and won’t get developed any further without inheritance.
评书艺术能否发展，表面上取决于市场需求，取决于观众或网民是否喜爱，但实际上最重要的还是取决于评书艺术自身是否具有吸引力。传承是传统艺术发展中的一项重要内容，如果没有传承，传统艺术也就是没有了依托，更谈不上发展。

Understanding the origins of sleep munchies
为什么睡前你总想要吃东西
If you’re at all like me,you’ve eaten a lot of junk food late at night.One explanation for those late-night slices of pizza or burgers has to do with alcohol,which has a influential effect on us that makes us crave fat and salt.
是不是有小伙伴和我一样，晚上很晚的时候还要吃很多垃圾食品呢？有一个解释就是那些我们晚上吃的披萨和汉堡都含有酒精，而酒精则使我们更加渴望脂肪和盐。
But an increasing body of research suggests that exhaustion,too,plays a role in the“sleep munchies”especially in cases when people didn’t get enough sleep the night before.A study is in the journal Sleep in which participants were put on normal sleep or sleep-restricted schedules while their calories were carefully monitored.
但是越来越多的研究表明，疲惫也会使人养成睡前吃东西的习惯，尤其是那些前一晚没有充足睡眠的人。《睡眠》期刊中记录了一项实验，参与者分别被分到正常睡眠组和限制性睡眠组，并且详细监测了他体内的卡路里。
Allison reports:The new study,based on blood samples,documents a novel finding:The daily rhythm of a particular endocannabinoid is altered by a lack of sleep.And these changes “could be driving intake for more palatable foods,”Erin Hanlon,a neuroscientist at the University of Chicago Medical Center,told us.
阿里森说这基于血液试样的研究证明了一个新的发现：人体内的花生四烯酸甘油的含量会因缺乏睡眠而改变。“而这些变化就是驱使人对美食向往的元凶。”芝加哥医疗中心大学的神经系科学家艾瑞森.汉龙告诉我们。
“We found that sleep restriction boosts a signal that may increase the hedonic aspect of food intake,”says Hanlon.In other words,being deprived of sleep may produce a stronger desire to eat.We still have a long way to go to understand the connections between sleeplessness,stress,and well gluttony.But knowing the reasons for the “sleep munchies” can only help those of us who are looking for food everywhere with our sleepy eyes.
汉龙说，缺乏睡眠会促使人们增加对美味美食的享受。换言之，睡眠不好会让人更加想吃东西。或许我们尚未研究清楚睡眠、压力以及暴饮暴食之间的关系。但了解睡前饥饿感的原因至少可以帮助我们改善睡眠。

Use of Google Translation Application Is Now Sanctioned In China
谷歌翻译应用在中国大陆解除封禁
Google made available in China a new version of its Google Translation application, which is accessible without censor-evading software,.on 29th March. This move was likely to fuel speculation that this internet giant was mending fences with Beijing.
3月29日，谷歌将旗下翻译软件更新，并且对中国用户正式开放，省去了安装规避审查软件的麻烦。这一举动很可能意在为宣传“谷歌这一互联网巨头有意和中国搞好关系”这一新闻制造噱头。
Google shut down its www.google.cn website in 2010, moving its Chinese search service from mainland to Hong Kong in a row of cyber attacks and censorship.
谷歌在2010年宣布关闭在中国运营的网站，并在接连不断的网络攻击和审查之下将其在中国的搜索服务从内地转到了香港。
Chinese have for years been able to use a web-based version of Google Translation, but the mobile application has required the use of virtual private network (VPN) software to get around the "Great Firewall", China’s huge system of online censorship.
多年以来，中国只能使用基于网页版的谷歌翻译，但若想使用其移动应用就需要使用虚拟私人网络（VPN）软件来避开中国庞大的网络审查系统——中国防火墙。
"Today we’re releasing version 5.8 of the Google Translate application for Android and iOS, adding instant visual translation between English and Korean, as well as an improved experience for users in China," Google announced in a blog post.
谷歌方在一篇博文中宣布：“Google翻译App的iOS版和安卓版目前已更新至5.8版本。新版本增加了英语和韩语之间的即时视觉翻译功能，同时优化了中国用户的体验。”
Google did not explain why the application was now accessible, and the Google spokesman declined to comment on the matter.
对于该应用为何突然向中国大陆开放，谷歌方面并没有给出具体原因，其发言人也拒绝就该问题进行任何回应。
This move could mark a step forward in China for Google, whose main search engine, its Gmail email service, maps, and other offerings are still blocked.
这一举动算是标志着谷歌在中国又向前迈进了一步，但谷歌的主要搜索引擎、Gmail电子邮件服务、谷歌地图以及其他功能目前仍被封锁。
