西藏定日县6.8级强震：生死救援，点亮生命希望
双语新闻
Steam rising from pots simmering over fires and the cold breath of people huddled together in front of tents at -16℃ gave the semblance of life returning to normal in Dingri on Wednesday, a day after the county in Shigatse, Xizang autonomous region, was struck by a magnitude 6.8 earthquake.
周三，在西藏日喀则地区定日县发生6.8级地震后的第二天，炊烟从炉火上炖着的锅中袅袅升起，而在零下16摄氏度的气温中，人们蜷缩在帐篷前呼出的冷气，让定日县似乎有了生活回归正常的迹象。
Children waited in line for a meal of eggs outside the temporary shelters, while older people tried to put to rest the memories of the disaster, which reduced more than 3,600 houses to rubble, claimed 126 lives and injured many more.
在临时避难所外，孩子们排队等着吃鸡蛋，而老人们则试图忘却这场灾难的记忆。这场灾难导致3600多间房屋化为废墟，126人丧生，还有更多人受伤。
At a relief camp in Guring village in Dramso township, 55-year-old Sangye basked in the sun, holding a prayer wheel and chanting scriptures.
在仲巴县措美乡古如村的一处救灾安置点，55岁的桑耶沐浴在阳光下，手里拿着转经筒，口中诵着经文。
“Natural disasters can’t be avoided. Although our house collapsed, my family was brought to a warm tent last night, and we were able to sleep,” she said, thanking relief and rescue workers for their untiring efforts to resettle people.
“自然灾害无法避免。虽然我们的房子塌了，但昨晚我们一家被带到了温暖的帐篷里，得以安睡。”她说道，感谢救援人员不辞辛劳地安置受灾群众。
Looking at a new stove her family received as part of relief efforts on Wednesday, Sangye added, “Tonight, we will be even warmer,” as she folded her hands in gratitude.
看着周三作为救灾物资发放到她家的新炉子，桑耶双手合十，感激地说：“今晚，我们会更暖和。”
Unfortunately, it was an uneasy night on Tuesday for Penba Norbu, deputy head of Dramso township. He recalled how he felt the strong shaking of his dormitory and noticed walls cracking before he ran outside. The township officials formed groups to check the villages.
不幸的是，对于措美乡副乡长彭巴诺布来说，周二晚上是个难熬的夜晚。他回忆起当时感觉到宿舍强烈震动，看到墙壁开裂，然后跑了出去。乡政府官员组成小组，前往各村检查情况。
When he arrived at Tsa village, Penba Norbu saw a child whose head was bleeding, some people with broken legs and those trapped under the debris of collapsed houses.
当他到达扎村时，彭巴诺布看到一个孩子头部流血，一些人腿部骨折，还有人被困在倒塌房屋的废墟下。
Six out of about 464 people living in the village died, but the others were rescued. When a series of aftershocks rocked the area, he sent out a notice on WeChat, reminding villagers to take care and report damage.
该村约464名居民中有6人死亡，但其他人都被救了出来。当一系列余震袭击该地区时，他在微信上发出通知，提醒村民注意安全并报告损失情况。
Penba Norbu said he felt relieved after the medical and rescue teams arrived, and the villagers were moved to temporary shelters. “There are enough tents and daily necessities. We can get through this,” he added.
彭巴诺布说，医疗和救援队伍到达后，村民们被转移到临时避难所，他才松了一口气。“这里有足够的帐篷和日用品。我们能挺过这一关。”他补充道。
At a news conference held in Shigatse on Wednesday, Hong Li, director of Xizang Emergency Management Department, said about 12,000 people participated in the rescue and relief efforts, including public security personnel, the armed police, forest firefighters and the military. Together, they rescued 407 trapped individuals, he said.

NeuroXess, a leading brain-machine interface company based in Shanghai, was the world’s first to simultaneously decode language and movement in real-time, marking the city’s latest breakthrough in this technology.
总部位于上海的NeuroXess是一家领先的脑机接口公司，该公司率先在全球实现了语言和运动的实时同步解码，标志着上海在这一技术领域取得了最新突破。
Addressing critical clinical needs for restoring motor and language functions impaired by brain damage, the firm said on Thursday that it independently developed a 256-channel high-throughput, flexible brain-machine interface. Clinical trials for high-precision, real-time movement decoding and language decoding were conducted at Huashan Hospital Affiliated with Fudan University in Shanghai recently.
针对因脑损伤导致的运动和语言功能受损的临床迫切需求，该公司于周四表示，其独立研发了一款256导高通量柔性脑机接口。近期，复旦大学附属华山医院在上海开展了高精度实时运动解码和语言解码的临床试验。
The research team said that two weeks after the surgeries, patients were able to control intelligent devices and realize communication with their thoughts.
研究团队表示，手术后两周，患者便能够通过思维控制智能设备并实现交流。
In August, NeuroXess in collaboration with the neurosurgery team at Huashan Hospital successfully conducted the first clinical trial on thought-controlled movement. The trial involved a 21-year-old epileptic patient with a lesion in the brain’s motor area. The participant underwent a surgery to implant a 256-channel high-throughput, flexible brain-machine interface to monitor the lesion and safeguard critical brain functions related to movement.
8月，NeuroXess与华山医院神经外科团队携手，成功实施了全球首例思维控制运动的临床试验。该试验涉及一名21岁的癫痫患者，其大脑运动区存在病变。受试者接受了手术，植入了一款256导高通量柔性脑机接口，以监测病变并保护与运动相关的关键脑功能。
The trial participant could play simple digital games on a smart phone with thoughts two days after the surgery. After two weeks of training, the trial participant could use their thoughts to control common smartphone apps as well as smart home appliances and smart wheelchair, significantly enhancing basic mobility for individuals with movement disorders.
术后两天，该受试者便能通过思维在智能手机上玩简单的数字游戏。经过两周的训练，受试者能够用思维控制常见的智能手机应用以及智能家居设备和智能轮椅，显著提升了运动障碍人士的基本行动能力。
In December, the firm joined hands with the neurosurgery team at Huashan Hospital again and conducted the country’s first clinical trial on real-time synthesis of spoken Chinese using a high-throughput, flexible brain-machine interface. The team performed a flexible brain-machine interface implantation surgery on a patient suffering from epilepsy and a tumor occupying the brain’s language function area.
12月，该公司再次与华山医院神经外科团队合作，开展了国内首例利用高通量柔性脑机接口进行实时中文语音合成的临床试验。团队为一名患有癫痫且肿瘤占据大脑语言功能区的患者实施了柔性脑机接口植入手术。
When the patient recovered from the surgery, they were able to decode 71 percent of 142 commonly used Chinese phonemes within five days, with a decoding latency of less than 100 milliseconds for individual words. This marked the highest level of real-time Chinese language decoding in China so far, holding promise for aiding individuals with language impairments in rebuilding their language capabilities.

脑机接口技术取得突破
双语新闻
NeuroXess, a leading brain-machine interface company based in Shanghai, was the world’s first to simultaneously decode language and movement in real-time, marking the city’s latest breakthrough in this technology.
总部位于上海的NeuroXess是一家领先的脑机接口公司，该公司率先在全球实现了语言和运动的实时同步解码，标志着上海在这一技术领域取得了最新突破。
Addressing critical clinical needs for restoring motor and language functions impaired by brain damage, the firm said on Thursday that it independently developed a 256-channel high-throughput, flexible brain-machine interface. Clinical trials for high-precision, real-time movement decoding and language decoding were conducted at Huashan Hospital Affiliated with Fudan University in Shanghai recently.
针对因脑损伤导致的运动和语言功能受损的临床迫切需求，该公司于周四表示，其独立研发了一款256导高通量柔性脑机接口。近期，复旦大学附属华山医院在上海开展了高精度实时运动解码和语言解码的临床试验。
The research team said that two weeks after the surgeries, patients were able to control intelligent devices and realize communication with their thoughts.
研究团队表示，手术后两周，患者便能够通过思维控制智能设备并实现交流。
In August, NeuroXess in collaboration with the neurosurgery team at Huashan Hospital successfully conducted the first clinical trial on thought-controlled movement. The trial involved a 21-year-old epileptic patient with a lesion in the brain’s motor area. The participant underwent a surgery to implant a 256-channel high-throughput, flexible brain-machine interface to monitor the lesion and safeguard critical brain functions related to movement.
8月，NeuroXess与华山医院神经外科团队携手，成功实施了全球首例思维控制运动的临床试验。该试验涉及一名21岁的癫痫患者，其大脑运动区存在病变。受试者接受了手术，植入了一款256导高通量柔性脑机接口，以监测病变并保护与运动相关的关键脑功能。
The trial participant could play simple digital games on a smart phone with thoughts two days after the surgery. After two weeks of training, the trial participant could use their thoughts to control common smartphone apps as well as smart home appliances and smart wheelchair, significantly enhancing basic mobility for individuals with movement disorders.
术后两天，该受试者便能通过思维在智能手机上玩简单的数字游戏。经过两周的训练，受试者能够用思维控制常见的智能手机应用以及智能家居设备和智能轮椅，显著提升了运动障碍人士的基本行动能力。
In December, the firm joined hands with the neurosurgery team at Huashan Hospital again and conducted the country’s first clinical trial on real-time synthesis of spoken Chinese using a high-throughput, flexible brain-machine interface. The team performed a flexible brain-machine interface implantation surgery on a patient suffering from epilepsy and a tumor occupying the brain’s language function area.
12月，该公司再次与华山医院神经外科团队合作，开展了国内首例利用高通量柔性脑机接口进行实时中文语音合成的临床试验。团队为一名患有癫痫且肿瘤占据大脑语言功能区的患者实施了柔性脑机接口植入手术。
When the patient recovered from the surgery, they were able to decode 71 percent of 142 commonly used Chinese phonemes within five days, with a decoding latency of less than 100 milliseconds for individual words. This marked the highest level of real-time Chinese language decoding in China so far, holding promise for aiding individuals with language impairments in rebuilding their language capabilities.
