In this neighborhood in Huangpu District, medics are busy doing PCR tests. 24-year-old Qi Suyuan is one of them. She's a nurse at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, and was among the first medical teams from Jiangsu Province to come to Shanghai. Qi makes a point of reminding people how to reduce the risk of infection.

Don't touch the front of the mask. You should hold the straps【绳】 around the ear, then lift it off your face.

口罩不能直接从外侧摘取，要拿挂着耳朵上的这根绳，从这里取下。

Qi also needs to exercise patience while helping children and seniors. Others are on hand to assist medics【医护人员】 and ensure their safety when collecting samples.

在帮助儿童和老年人时，漆苏媛也需要有足够的耐心。其他同事则在采样过程中进行协助，保障每一位队员安心工作，安全回家。

When doing the PCR tests, you should always take a garbage can or a piece of cardboard like this with you.

2.FOREIGN AUTO COMPANIES GET BACK TO WORK IN SHANGHAI

上海外资车企有序复工

As the city continues to make efforts in order to help key enterprises resume operations, major foreign automobile and auto parts manufacturers【制造商】 have been gradually restoring production capacity under closed loop management.

在上海不断推动重点产业链复工复产的努力下，国外主要汽车企业和汽车零部件制造商已在闭环管理下逐步恢复生产。

Many of the major global auto giants in Shanghai are resuming production with the support of the local government.

在上海政府的支持下，上海的许多全球汽车巨头正在有序复工复产。

German auto parts manufacturer ZF says its Shanghai plants have received support for the delivery of products and raw materials. The company has also set a long-term goal of increasing its China sales from 20 to 30 percent of its total revenue.

德国汽车零部件制造商采埃孚（ZF）公司表示，其上海工厂在产品和原材料的交付方面得到了政府的帮助。该公司还设定了一个长期目标，准备将中国市场销售额占总收入的比例从 20 %提高到 30 %。

Another German auto parts giant, Bosch, has also resumed operations. The company reported record high sales of 128 billion yuan in China last year, with a 9.1 percent year-on-year growth. They also say more investments in key strategic fields, as well as cooperation in the development of innovative technologies and products in China is in the works.

另一家德国汽车零部件巨头博世也已恢复生产。该公司去年在中国的销售额达到创纪录的1280亿元，同比增长9.1%。他们还表示，准备在关键战略领域进行更多投资，以及在中国创新技术和产品开发方面的合作正在进行中。

U.S. EV giant Tesla is also showing confidence in the Chinese market as the Shanghai Gigafactory is back up and running. Production capacity at the facility is expected to return to normal by the middle of this month.

随着上海超级工厂的复工复产，美国电动汽车巨头特斯拉也对中国市场表现出信心。该工厂的生产预计将在本月中旬恢复正常。

3.CHINA'S MARS ROVER FINDS NEW EVIDENCE OF WATER

祝融号发现火星近期水活动迹象

Chinese scientists have found hydrated【含水的】 minerals on the red planet, new evidence that there was once water on Mars, the newly discovered minerals could be potentially exploited during future crewed Mars missions.

中国科学家通过祝融号在火星发现了含水矿物。这一发现证明了祝融号着陆区以及火星北部平原的广泛区域可能含有大量以含水矿物形式存在的可利用水，可供未来载人火星探测开发利用。

The study published today in the journal "Science Advances" revealed that a large impact basin on Mars may have had water activity just 700 million years ago, 2.3 billion years later than previous estimates. The researchers used data gathered by China's "Zhurong" Mars rover on the sedimentary【沉积的】 and mineral characteristics in the southern region of Utopia Planitia, a vast plain in Mars' northern hemisphere. They interpreted the bright-toned rocks seen by Zhurong's camera as a layer of "duricrust" that could have been sculpted by a substantial quantity of liquid water, perhaps rising groundwater or melting subsurface ice. This solid sulfate【硫酸盐】 mineral crust is very different from the thinner, weaker duricrusts, observed by other Mars rovers, that may have formed through the actions of water vapor.

今天（5/12）发表在《科学进展》期刊上的研究显示，火星上的一个大型撞击盆地可能在7亿年前有过水活动迹象，比之前的估算数据晚23亿年。研究人员利用中国“祝融”火星探测车收集的数据，研究了火星北半球的一片广阔平原——乌托邦平原南部地区的沉积和矿物特征，发现了一种形貌上类似沉积岩的岩石类型——板状的亮色岩石。研究团队认为，这些亮色岩石是一层本地发育的硬壳，形成原因可能是过去有大量液态水涌溢，这些液态水可能来自地下水的上升或地下冰的融化。这种固体硫酸盐矿物外壳和其他火星探测器观察到的更脆薄的硬壳不同，后者可能是由大气中的水汽长期和火星表面土壤相互作用胶结形成。
