>Biggest game in UEFA history
欧冠上演史上'最牛对决'
The Champions League final between Manchester United and Barcelona on Saturday night will be the biggest game in history, UEFA claims. A UEFA spokesman said: "We anticipate this will be the largest-ever audience for a match between two club teams." Last year's Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Inter Milan was watched by an audience of about 145m, but that figure is expected to double this year, given the incredible popularity of the two teams.
伦敦时间周六晚上曼联和巴萨这场对决被欧足联冠之以"史上最牛"的比赛。欧足联新闻发言人称："我们认为，这两家俱乐部的比赛将拥有欧冠史上最多的观众。"欧足联预计今年欧冠决赛收视人数将是去年的两倍。去年国米与拜仁的决赛吸引了全球1.45亿人收看，而今年观众人数将达到3亿，原因是今年两家俱乐部在全球范围内的影响力超过去年的国米和拜仁。获利惊人
"Manchester United versus Barcelona is the dream final as far as most football fans are concerned. But the English and Spanish champions are two of the most successful teams off the pitch, too. They will collectively scoop EUR200m, making this the most lucrative final in European club football's history," said Simon Chadwick, director of the Centre for the International Business of Sport at Coventry University.
英国考文垂大学国际体育经营研究中心主任西蒙·查德维克指出："对绝大多数球迷来说，曼联与巴萨的比赛是一场梦幻对决。他们也是场外经营最成功的两家球会，这一战，他们加起来能获得2亿欧元的收入，本次欧冠决赛是足球史上获利最惊人的一次决赛"。 >Devaluation spreads panic
白俄货币贬值引发恐慌
A sharp devaluation of the Belarusian ruble has spread panic throughout the country, with people sweeping store shelves and queuing up at currency exchange offices in an attempt to protect their savings, Business Week reported. The ruble lost nearly half of its official value against the dollar Tuesday, when the National Bank ordered a devaluation. The new official rate is 4,930 rubles per dollar, up from the previous 3,155. On the black market it takes 6,000 rubles to buy a dollar.
据美国《商业周刊》报道，白俄罗斯卢布近日突然发生贬值，在该国引发恐慌，白俄罗斯民众疯狂涌往商店抢购，横扫货架，并且在银行等机构抢兑，努力确保他们的储蓄不会损失太多。当地时间24日，白俄罗斯国家银行决定施行货币贬值后，卢布兑换美元的价值缩水近一半。目前白俄罗斯卢布对美元的汇率为4930：1，此前为3155：1。黑市上卢布的价值贬值更多，已经达到6000：1。>SNS used by cyber scams
社交网络已成骗子'温床'
Social networking sites have become lucrative hotbeds for cyber scams, according to a Microsoft security report. "Phishing" attacks can be launched while the user is browsing a familiar site. These attacks use what looks like legitimate messages to dupe people into clicking links that ask for users to reveal consumer information, which the scammers can use to their advantage. According to the report, "the popularity of social networking sites has created new opportunities for cyber criminals to not only directly impact users, but also friends, colleagues and family."
微软发布的一份安全报告指出，社交网络已经成为网络骗局"获利的温床"。用户在浏览一个常用网页时，"网络钓鱼"就会发生。这些钓鱼信息表面看不出一点儿破绽，但它会诱骗使用者点击链接，进而获取他们重要的个人信息加以利用。报告称，社交网络的普及为网络犯罪提供了新的渠道，因为它不只影响单一用户，还包括他们的朋友、同事和家人。>Barca wins Champions League

'Black swan'
----------
今年奥斯卡大热的影片《黑天鹅》不但让女主角揽得小金人，也让观众看到了艺术家创作角色过程的艰辛。不过，我们今天要说的这个"黑天鹅事件"跟这部电影可没什么关系。Black swan"黑天鹅"是一个拉丁短语，其最早的出处是诗人尤文纳尔(注：尤文纳尔为罗马讽刺派诗人)在诗中将某个事物描绘为"世间罕有之鸟，酷似黑天鹅"。"黑天鹅"事件指发生在正常预期之外、影响巨大、难以预知而且罕见的事件。
请看例句：
The rise of the Internet, the personal computer, World War I, and the Sept 11 attacks are examples of Black Swan events.
因特网的崛起、个人电脑出现、第一次世界大战以及911恐怖袭击均为"黑天鹅事件"的范例。【Talk Show】

清华的这种做法商业气息过重，作为国内首屈一指的大学，清华应该塑造一个纯净的学术氛围。对比国外知名大学，他们把学生当成自己的产品，告诉他们如何追求真理，然后学生回馈母校。从这一点，清华应该反思自己的融资手段。上海158****2011
作为学校融资没什么不妥，但不妥的地方在于他使用的是商标名而不是惯例的人名。商标名与人名的区别在于前者具有浓厚的商业广告色彩，而不是后者所拥有的荣誉色彩。江苏扬州187****0407
大学的运作也需要财政，资金的支持。仅靠其本身创收或国家财政支持是不够的，因此接收外界的赞助或捐赠也无可厚非。企业也能借此提高自身品牌的知名度。但个人认为，高校在接收捐赠时也要仔细审查对方的资质信用等，毕竟，这种做法也是以高校自身的声誉在做交换。可能真维斯楼听上去太过突兀，所以引起的争议较大。不过还是希望大学这方净土不要被商业气息浸淫太多。
