9月15日早上，超级台风“山竹”横扫菲律宾，引发重大灾害，造成至少66人死亡，大部分遇难者死于泥石流。

The storm is now making its way across mainland China after pummeling Hong Kong, forcing nearly three million people to be moved to safety. After making landfall in China’s most populous province, Guangdong, it killed four before heading west into neighboring Guangxi province late Sunday night.

这场风暴在肆虐香港后，目前正一路横扫中国内地，近300万人被迫转往安全地带。台风“山竹”在中国第一人口大省——广东登陆，造成4人死亡，随后于16日晚一路向西部邻省——广西移动。

The storm tore off roofs and scaffolding from skyscrapers, shattered windows, shook high-rise buildings and caused serious flooding in low-lying areas as waves of more than three meters (9.8 feet) lashed the coast.

风暴摧毁了摩天大楼上的屋顶和脚手架，刮碎了窗户，使高层建筑物产生摇晃，3米多高的海浪冲击海岸，造成低洼地区严重洪灾。

The United States, disregarding overwhelming international and domestic opposition, announced to impose additional 10-percent tariffs on 200 billion U.S. dollars worth of Chinese products from Sept. 24 and that it will take other escalating tariff measures.

美方不顾国际和国内意见反对，宣布实施对从中国进口的约2000亿美元商品加征10%关税的措施，自2018年9月24日起实施，美方还将进一步采取其他关税措施。

Chinese leaders, including vice premier Liu He, joined business mogul Jack Ma and executives from Google at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai to support a borderless approach to AI research. He called for foreign investment in the country and pledged to foster “an environment of free thinking” to support development.

在上海举行的世界人工智能大会上，国务院副总理刘鹤等中国领导人与商业大亨马云以及谷歌高管一起，支持无国界的人工智能研究方法。刘鹤呼吁外方来中国投资，并承诺培育“自由思考的环境”，以支持人工智能的发展。

“We’re hoping that all countries, as members of the global village, will be inclusive and support each other so that we can respond to the double-edged sword effect of new technologies,” He told attendees through a translator. “AI represents a new era. Cross-national and cross-discipline cooperation is inevitable.”

“我们希望所有国家，作为地球村的成员，能够相互包容、相互支持，以应对新技术的双刃剑效应，”他通过翻译告诉与会者，“人工智能代表了一个新时代。跨国家、跨学科合作是必然的。”

The comments echoed those of President Xi Jinping, who said in a letter to the conference that China was willing to share the benefits of AI with other countries.

这一言论吻合了中国国家主席习近平在致大会贺信中的说法，习近平在信中指出，中国愿在人工智能领域与各国共推发展、共护安全、共享成果。

Microsoft Research Asia and Amazon Web Services both announced new labs in Shanghai, while Google’s Jay Yagnik showed off slides of the company’s AI activities in the country. The search giant, a unit of Alphabet Inc., is a key sponsor of the event.

几家美国公司在这次峰会上展示了他们在中国发展人工智能的决心。微软亚洲研究院和亚马逊网络服务公司都宣布在上海成立了新实验室；谷歌的杰伊·亚尼克通过幻灯片展示了该公司在中国进行人工智能研发的情况。搜索巨头谷歌是 Alphabet 旗下的子公司，也是此次活动的主要赞助商。
