In East China's Anhui province, a 2-meter-wide alley separates a pair of gray walls. At first glance it may seem insignificant., to those who know its history, Liuchi Alley in Tongcheng symbolizes much more than its initial appearance would suggest.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were two families both with (influence)members within the court of Emperor Kangxi. To the south was the Zhang family and to the north was the Wu family. But the two families had a fierce quarrel (result)from the disagreement over the boundary between their houses. Unable to resolve it locally, the Zhangs asked their family member Zhang Ying, a trusted top official in the emperor's court, help. Zhang called for them to step back 1 meter from the boundary instead of (back)them, which moved the two families so much that both did exactly that. A 2-meter-wide alley between the houses serving as the boundary (bear)with the name Liuchi Alley, which originated from the Mandarin word for six and chi — a traditional Chinese unit of (long)that corresponds to one-third of a meter.

One day, when her baby was about three months old, her whole family went out to a restaurant with baby necessities. When they stepped out of the car, the baby needed to2 again. Since they were all exhausted, they piled into the restaurant3.

Such a contribution would add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic products the globe abandons annually. Cell phones, computers and other digital products often contain mercury (汞), lead or other poisons. When improperly disposed of, they can pollute air, water and soil. In 2022, about 78% of the world's e-waste end up in landfills or at unofficial recycling sites, where laborers risk their health to clean up rare metals.

The AI boom (热潮) rapidly consumes data storage devices and high-performance components, which are usually replaced when new versions are available. To calculate the e-waste contribution, researchers examined hardware use, lifespan, and the industry's growth rate. Their prediction is an estimate that could change based on various factors.

This study's biggest value comes from its attention to AI's broad environmental impacts, says Shaolei Ren, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside. "We might want AI companies to slow down a bit," he says.

Few countries mandate (强制) the proper disposal of e-waste, and those that do often fail to carry out their existing laws on it. Twenty-five U. S. states have e-waste management policies, but there is no federal law that requires electronics recycling.

Thankfully, some companies claim to be taking independent action. Microsoft and Google have committed to reaching net zero waste and net zero emissions respectively by 2030. They have many options to limit e-waste. It's possible to squeeze more life out of servers, for instance, through regular maintenance and updates or by shifting worn-out devices to less-intensive applications. These strategies are vital to reduce e-waste and benefit society, the study authors estimate.

For this new translation, Palma aimed to stick to Dante's terza rima rhyme pattern. In the original, the first and third lines rhyme, and the second line sets up the rhyme for the next group. Here's how Palma's version of Canto 1 of Purgatorio starts: "Right now, my small boat of wisdom raises its sails, ready to sail through the dangerous waters and leave this rough sea behind."

Approaching the translation this way is challenging as one can't focus on just three lines at a time. Many English translations use free poetry or a looser rhyme, which Palma admits can be good. But he believes not reproducing the rhymes means losing much of the poem's sound and music. He also thinks it fails to show readers what Dante did.

Palma isn't the first to attempt this. So, what's the value in another translation of The Divine Comedy? Joseph Luzzi, a literature professor, said translation is a form of autobiography, which has no fixed rules.

Luzzi recently published his translation of Dante's Vita Nuova, a less-known work. It portrays a young Dante's experience. In these works, themes like love, the exploration of human nature, and the pursuit of self-improvement arc noticeable. Translating his work keeps it alive, and its relevance is clear.

We can learn from these translations and discussions that literature has the power to connect different times and cultures. It encourages us to think deeply, explore different ways of expression, and continuously improve our understanding and appreciation of the world.

The local tea-related culture is deeply rooted. The Blang people believe that everything has a soul and should leave nature undisturbed, preserving sustainable tea-farming practices. They have been avoiding the use of weed killers. Jingmai's closely managed lands may seem wild compared to other tea plantations worldwide. A vibrant vegetation (植被) carpets the forest floor, creating a rich habitat for animals and helping the soil keep essential moisture. The areas are separated to prevent the spread of diseases and pests.

In the early 2000s, the Chinese government's investment in rural infrastructure, like new roads and electricity, brought new opportunities to Jingmai Mountain. However, as the area developed, some problems emerged, such as deforestation by some villagers. In response, local leaders took action quickly. They called for the protection of the forests and traditional tea-growing methods.

Around 2010, the local community and the government united to apply for World Heritage status. Eventually, UNESCO formally recognized Jingmai Mountain as a World Heritage site, an honor reserved for places that provideidiosyncratic cultural value. It is the only site related to tea cultivation. To protect this precious area, the government built a stone-paved road to prevent destruction of the tea' s aroma (香气).

Today, tea is the backbone of the region's economy, contributing 90% of the local income. The younger generation promotes Jingmai tea through modern means like livestreaming. The conservation and development of Jingmai Mountain's tea heritage not only safeguard its unique natural and cultural features but also ensure its long-term prosperity.

In July, 2024, Beijing Central Axis (中轴线) (add) to the UNESCO World Heritage List, becoming China's 59th World Heritage Site. Rooted in the paradigm (范式) of ideal capital planning in traditional Chinese culture, the Central Axis in Beijing, governs the overall layout of the old city area of the Chinese capital, shows an ensemble (整体) of palaces, public buildings and gardens.

(stretch) 7.8 kilometers north-south through the heart of Beijing, the Axis consists of 15 components, with the Bell and Drum Towers at (it) northern end and Yongdingmen Gate at the southern end. Construction of the Axis began in the 13th century and took shape in the 16th century. It (undergo) constant refinement over the past seven centuries and continues to influence Beijing's urban development to this day.

Traditional Chinese philosophical (concept) of "zhong" (centrality) and "he" (harmony) are represented in the design of the Beijing Central Axis. For example, to emphasize the significance of imperial authority, the royal palace was placed in the central position while other key structures were (skillful) arranged.

Beijing was not the first city (use) a central axis. During the Three Kingdoms period (220-280), the city Yecheng had a street running from the east to the west. It separated the royal palaces from common people's living and business areas. In Chang'an, the capital the Tang Dynasty (618-907), there was a wide street from the north to the south, making the city symmetrical.

The central axis is more than material relic. It is also a continuation of the traditional Chinese city layout concept.

From the age of eight, I had to contribute my share of2 along with my parents and two elder brothers. On the hottest summer days when the air3 flowed, I knelt in a paddy field (稻田) with my knees deep in mud. The bugs and worms in the water4 into my skin, and the sun burned upon my5 back. Sweat streamed down; if a drop ran into the eyes, it would6 tears. So I always kept my face as low as possible.

I told myself, "Be7!" If my parents and brothers could go on taking it, so could I.8 I pulled myself together and dragged myself forward. I learned not to be afraid of difficulties and the meaning of "you reap (收获) what you9".

"Judge a man not by his face, but by his10," my mother used to say. The land is11, as long as you are willing to work on it. When the wind blew and the rice plants moved like12 in the sea, breathtakingly beautiful, a deep sense of satisfaction13 in me.

Although later I went into academic research, I shall always remember what working in the paddy fields taught me:14 your feet firmly on the ground, never give up and you will be15.
