Xinhua reported that at least 337 people have been confirmed dead in rain-triggered mudslides in Zhouqu County, Gansu Province. 1,148 people are estimated to be missing. Another 117 were injured, including 29 in serious condition. In addition, 1,242 have been rescued from debris or brought to safety. People's Liberation Army soldiers used explosives to blast the blockage that created a barrier lake on the Bailong River. After two blasts, the level of the barrier lake decreased by a meter. The Gansu government has sent 3,900 tents, about 40,000 boxes of instant noodles and 31,300 boxes of bottled drinking water to the county. The Ministry of Finance has allocated 500 million yuan (US$73 million) in emergency aid. |

Spell check, please |
請檢查拼寫 |
"Separate" is the most commonly misspelled word in the English language, according to a new study, the Telegraph reported. The word won due to the regular placing of an "E" where the first "A" sits. Second in the list was "definitely," which often falls victim to a string of mistakes, which include mixing up the second "I" with an "A." Another common error is dropping the final "E." "Manoeuvre," or "maneuver" in proper U.S. English, which finished third, is problematic due to the unusual combination of OE and U. The study shows that a common mistake is writing a word the way it sounds, which leaves confusion with one letter with another. Two out of three admitted using spell check on computers had made them lazy so they never learned the correct spelling. One in five blamed text messaging for their bad spelling. |
英國《每日電訊報》報道,一項最新研究顯示,“separate”是最常被拼錯的英文單詞,原因在于該詞中的第一個A經常被誤拼為E。“definitely”位居第二,拼錯處在于第二個I被拼成A,或是漏掉最后一個E。位列第三的是“manoeuvre”(美式拼法為maneuver),其容易拼錯的關鍵在于罕見的OE與U相連。研究發現,人們常犯的錯誤是根據發音來拼寫,以致把某些字母搞錯而拼錯字; 2/3的人坦承電腦的拼寫檢查功能讓他們變得越來越懶,不愿學習正確的拼法;另有1/5的人將拼寫能力的下降歸罪于手機的智能輸入法。 |
North Korea seizes South's fishing boat |
朝鮮扣留韓國漁船 |
North Korea has seized a South Korean fishing boat, Daeseung 55, off the peninsula's east coast, amid high tensions between the two sides over a major joint naval exercise by the South and the U.S., Seoul's coastguard said Sunday, AFP reported. The boat contained four South Korean and three Chinese crewmen and was detained while presumably operating near the North's exclusive economic zone, the coastguard said in a statement. It was being towed Sunday to the North's northeastern port of Songjin. The 41-ton vessel's home port is Pohang in the southeast of South Korea. It left port on August 1 and was scheduled to return on September 10. |
