1.STATEMENT BY CHINA’S MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS ON PELOST’S VISIT TO TAIWAN

外交部就佩洛西窜访台湾地区发表声明

The Chinese Foreign Ministry yesterday strongly condemned US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to China’s Taiwan region in disregard of stern【严厉】 warnings from the Chinese side. In a statement, the ministry said the visit sent wrong signals to separatist【独立主义者】 forces seeking Taiwan independence. The ministry added that it has lodged solemn【严肃的】 representations and protests to the American side. Sun Siqi has the story.

昨日（8/2），美国国会众议长佩洛西不顾中方强烈反对和严正交涉，窜访中国台湾地区。对此，中国外交部发表声明指出，此举向"台独"分裂势力发出严重错误信号。中方对此坚决反对，严厉谴责，已向美方提出严正交涉和强烈抗议。记者孙思奇为您带来更多详细报道。

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that Pelosi’s visit is a serious violation of the one-China principle and the provisions of the three China-US joint communiques. It has a severe impact on the political foundation of China-US relations, and infringes【侵犯】 upon China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. There is now heightened tensions and severe challenges on the Taiwan Strait, and the fundamental cause is the repeated moves of the Taiwan authorities and the United States to change the status quo. The Taiwan authorities have kept seeking United States’ support for their independence agenda. They refuse to recognize the 1992 Consensus, go all out to push forward "de-sinicization", and promote "incremental【增加的】independence". The United States, for its part, has been attempting to use Taiwan to contain China. It says one thing but does the opposite on the Taiwan question. It constantly distorts, obscures and hollows out the one-China principle, steps up its official exchanges with Taiwan, and emboldens "Taiwan independence" separatist activities. China will definitely take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity in response to the Pelosi’s visit. All the consequences arising therefrom must be borne by the United States and "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.

中国外交部发表声明指出，此举严重违反一个中国原则和中美三个联合公报规定，严重冲击中美关系政治基础，严重侵犯中国主权和领土完整。当前，台海局势面临新一轮紧张和严峻挑战，根本原因是台湾当局和美方不断改变现状。台湾当局一再“倚美谋独”，拒不承认“九二共识”，大搞“去中国化”，推行“渐进式台独”。而美方企图搞“以台制华”，不断歪曲虚化掏空一个中国原则，加强美台官方往来，为“台独”分裂活动撑腰打气。中方必将采取一切必要措施，坚决捍卫国家主权和领土完整，由此产生的一切后果必须由美方和“台独”分裂势力负责。

2.COMPREHENSIVE SERVICE COUNTERS AT SHANGHAI RAILWAY STATIONS

购票退票改签一“窗”搞定上海铁路三大站服务再升级

Shanghai Railway Station, Hongqiao Railway Station and Shanghai South Railway Station opened service counters that allow people to get everything done without having to go back-and-forth. In the past, people had to go to different counters to buy, change, or get a refund for a ticket. Zhang Hong has the details.

今年暑运，上海铁路三大站：上海火车站、虹桥火车站和上海南站推出了"一窗通办"服务窗口。乘客无需来回奔波，购票、退票、改签等，均可在一个窗口办理。在该服务窗口开设之前，乘客必须前往不同柜台进行购票、改签、退票等操作。记者张泓为您带来更多详细报道。

Hello. How can I help you?-I want to buy a ticket to Zhuji this afternoon. The earlier the better.

你好。需要办理什么业务？我买车票到诸暨，下午的，越快越好。

At Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station, 72-year-old Ms. Pan and her husband bought two tickets to Zhuji, Zhejiang with cash, which is easier for them than using the automatic ticketing machine or buying tickets online.

在上海虹桥火车站，72岁的潘阿姨和老伴，用现金买了两张前往浙江诸暨的车票。虽说现在有便捷的自助售取票机或者网络购票，但对他们来说，还是现金买票方便。

Ms.Pan, Passenger

潘阿姨

It’s good that I can buy a ticket at the counter. I don’t know how to buy tickets with my phone. It’s too complicated for me.

（一窗通办窗口）购票蛮好的，我手机用不来，功能太多了，记不住的。

Mr. Wu, who had the wrong ticket, he was able to get a refund and purchase the correct ticket in 2 minutes.

而买错票的吴先生，仅用2分钟，就在“一窗通办”窗口办好了退票手续，还用现金买了一张新的车票。

It’s from Shanghai Hongqiao to Wuxi. Do you want a refund?-Yes, please. I want a ticket to Kunshan. Can I use cash?- Yes.

上海虹桥到无锡的票退掉啊，退了吧退了吧，改到昆山去。然后我再买的话，用不用现金？都可以。

A conductor said being at the counter that deals with various requirements is more challenging that before as they need to switch between different systems.

窗口另一头，售票员正熟练地切换不同的操作页面和系统。相较于之前单一的系统操作，“一窗通办”对他们提出了更高的要求，更具有挑战性。

崔冬栋上海虹桥站售票员

We should be more proficient so that we can respond to passengers’ requirements faster.

“一窗通办”要求售票员操作更加全面、更加熟练，这样才能根据旅客的需求做出快速的反应。

All of the counters at Hongqiao Railway Station can now handle all ticket-related services, while at Shanghai Railway Station and Shanghai South Railway Station only some of the counters are offering comprehensive ticket services.

目前，"一窗通办"服务已覆盖上海虹桥站全部窗口。上海站、上海南站也相继开设了"一窗通办"服务窗口。

Our goal now is to make such transportation regular. So that when one ship leaves the dock, there should be other ships that are being loaded and more that are approaching the port.

我们现在的目标是让运粮船有规律运行。当一艘船离港时，其他货船应该在等位、装货或到达港口。
