从乌克兰和加沙引发
“选择性同情”说起
6park.com



Early in the Gaza conflict, a TikTok video of John Kirby went viral. In the first frames, the White House spokesman is composed as he describes civilian casualties in Gaza as part of the “brutal, ugly” reality of war. In the second part, he chokes up as he describes his horror at civilian deaths in Ukraine. 6park.com

加沙冲突初期,约翰•柯比(John Kirby)的一段TikTok视频在网上疯传。在视频的前半部分,美国国家安全委员会(National Security Council)发言人平静地将加沙平民伤亡描述为“残酷、丑陋”的战争现实的一部分。在视频的后半部分,他在描述自己对乌克兰平民死亡的震惊时哽咽到说不出话。 6park.com

For the Biden administration’s critics, that video summed up America’s double standards. But the whole debate about the relative treatment of Ukraine and Gaza misses a wider point about selective compassion. The tragedies of Ukraine, Gaza and Israel all get far more attention than wars and humanitarian calamities elsewhere in the world.  6park.com

对拜登政府的批评者来说,这段视频揭示了美国的双重标准。但是,围绕乌克兰和加沙相对待遇的整个辩论,没有抓住“选择性同情”(selective compassion)这个更具普遍意义的要点。乌克兰、加沙和以色列发生的悲剧,都比世界其他地方的战争和人道主义灾难得到多得多的关注。 6park.com

The threat of a famine in Gaza is currently making global headlines every day. But last week the UN warned that “Sudan will soon be the world’s worst hunger crisis” with 18mn people facing acute food insecurity. It highlighted an ongoing conflict that involves “mass graves, gang rapes, shockingly indiscriminate attacks in densely populated areas” and more than 6.5mn displaced people. Reports from refugee camps in Darfur describe children dying of malnutrition every two hours. 6park.com

加沙饥荒的威胁现在天天成为全球头条新闻。但上周联合国警告称,“苏丹很快将发生世界上最严重的饥饿危机”,1800万人面临严重的粮食不安全。联合国强调该国正在经历一场持续不断的冲突,涉及“乱葬坑、轮奸、在人口稠密地区进行令人震惊的无差别攻击”,以及超过650万人流离失所。发自达尔富尔难民营的报道称,每两小时就有一名儿童死于营养不良。 6park.com

The UN Security Council passed a resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza on Monday after the US abstained, leading Israel to cancel a high-level visit to Washington. 6park.com

美国弃权后,联合国安理会(UN Security Council)周一通过了一项要求加沙停火的决议,导致以色列取消了对华盛顿的高层访问。 6park.com

这是自10月战争开始以来的首次此类要求,该决议呼吁在斋月期间立即停止敌对行动,斋月还有两周。 6park.com

Ron Dermer and Tzachi Hanegbi, members of Israel’s war cabinet and close confidants of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, had been due to travel to the US to discuss the looming invasion of Rafah, which Washington opposes. 6park.com

以色列战争内阁成员、总理本雅明•内塔尼亚胡的亲信罗恩•德梅尔(Ron Dermer)和扎奇•哈内格比(Tzachi Hanegbi)原定前往美国讨论即将发生的对拉法(Rafah)的入侵,华盛顿反对这一行动。 6park.com

The owner of Legoland, Sea Life and Madame Tussauds plans to charge visitors more during peak summer weekends than rainy weekdays in the off-season, as it seeks to make up for fewer visitor numbers than before the Covid-19 pandemic. 6park.com

乐高乐园、海洋生物乐园和杜莎夫人蜡像馆的所有者计划在夏季周末高峰向游客收取比淡季多雨的工作日更高的费用,以弥补游客数量比新冠肺炎大流行前减少的情况。 6park.com

Scott O’Neil, chief executive of Merlin Entertainments, said the company was building a dynamic pricing model — widely known as surge pricing — to be introduced at its top 20 global attractions by the end of 2024, and major US attractions next year. 6park.com

默林娱乐(Merlin Entertainments)首席执行官斯科特•奥尼尔(Scott O'Neil)说,该公司正在建立一种动态定价模式,即众所周知的高峰定价,将于2024年底在其全球前20大景点推出,并于明年在美国主要景点推出。 6park.com

The model, which allows Europe’s largest theme park operator to flex prices at particular times in response to shifts in supply and demand using machine learning, is “very intuitive”, said O’Neil. 6park.com

奥尼尔说,这个模型允许欧洲最大的主题公园运营商利用机器学习在特定时间灵活定价,以应对供求关系的变化,“非常直观”。 6park.com

特朗普民事欺诈案需缴纳的
保证金降至1.75亿美元
6park.com



A New York appeals court has allowed Donald Trump to post just $175mn to delay enforcement of a $464mn fraud judgment, in a victory for the former US president who had claimed it would be “impossible” to obtain a bond for the full amount. 6park.com

纽约一家上诉法院允许唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)仅缴纳1.75亿美元,以推迟一项4.64亿美元欺诈判决的执行,这对曾声称法院“不可能”全额获得这笔保证金的这位美国前总统来说是一次胜利。 6park.com

The ruling came as a 30-day grace period granted to Trump by Letitia James, the New York attorney-general, who brought the fraud case, was set to expire, paving the way for her office to seize Trump’s cash and properties across the US. 6park.com

这一裁决出台之际,提起这一欺诈案的纽约州总检察长莱蒂夏•詹姆斯(Letitia James)给予特朗普的30天宽限期即将到期,为她的办公室扣押特朗普在美国各地的现金和财产铺平了道路。 6park.com

In an order on Monday morning, a panel of five justices at the appeals court gave Trump 10 days to find the new sum. They also agreed to delay the enforcement of non-monetary penalties imposed as part of the judgment, such as the barring of Trump and his elder sons from running a business in New York and applying for loans in the state. 6park.com

在周一上午发布的一项命令中,该上诉法院一个由五名法官组成的小组给了特朗普10天时间来筹集新确定的金额。他们还同意推迟执行作为判决一部分的非货币处罚,例如禁止特朗普及其较年长的儿子在纽约经营企业以及在该州申请贷款。 6park.com
