>Govt to fund private tutors
英國推中小學補課計劃
The British government is set to announce a year-long national tutoring program aimed at helping pupils in England catch up on lost learning as a result of school closures due to the coronavirus pandemic.
英國政府即將宣布一項持續一年的國家補課計劃，以幫助該國的"失學"兒童。受新冠病毒疫情影響，英國多數學校關閉，學生學業受到影響。
Under the plan, schools will be funded to hire private tutors from approved agencies to deliver one-on-one and small group lessons to pupils who have fallen behind with their studies after months out of school. Many have not accessed any remote learning throughout the lockdown.
根據計劃，學校將從政府獲得資助，從有資格的教育機構聘請私人家教，為學業落後的學生提供一對一和小組課程輔導，這些學生已連續數月沒去上學，其中許多人在封鎖期間也不具備遠程學習的條件。
The catch-up lessons will be available to pupils from all age groups in both primary and secondary and can be accessed by all schools, but will be targeted particularly at those serving disadvantaged communities, where learning loss is likely to be greatest.
輔導課程將面向小學和初中所有年齡段的學生，所有學校都能申請，但弱勢社區的學校將獲得優先考慮，因為這些學校的學生學業受到的影響最大。
>Coin shortage hits US
美各地銀行現硬幣短缺
Just as supplies of toilet paper are finally getting back to normal, the coronavirus has triggered another shortage of something we typically take for granted: pocket change.
就在衛生紙供應總算恢復正常時，新冠肺炎疫情卻引發了另一種我們想當然的東西短缺：零錢。
Banks around the US are running low on nickels, dimes, quarters and even pennies.
美國各地銀行的五分硬幣、十分硬幣、兩角五分硬幣甚至還有一分硬幣都出現短缺。
And the Federal Reserve, which supplies banks, has been forced to ration scarce supplies.
給銀行供應貨幣的美聯儲被迫限額配給稀缺硬幣。
During the lockdown, many automatic coin-sorting machines that people typically use to cash in loose change were off-limits.
在封鎖期間，許多人們通常用來換零錢的硬幣自動分類機被禁止使用。
And with many businesses closed, unused coins piled up in darkened cash drawers, in pants pockets and on nightstands, even as banks went begging.
由於許多商店都關門了，大量閒置的硬幣堆在黑暗的現金抽屜、褲子口袋和床頭櫃裡，而銀行卻在四處討要硬幣。
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said that the central bank is monitoring the situation closely.
美聯儲主席傑羅米•鮑威爾表示，央行正密切監控這個局面。
While a growing number of people rely on credit cards or smartphone apps for many transactions today, the coin crunch is a reminder that sometimes you just need change.
儘管越來越多的人依賴信用卡或智慧型手機應用來交易，這次硬幣告急提醒了人們，有時候你還是需要零錢的。

此次發射標誌著北鬥全球衛星導航系統在軌部署完成，北鬥系統是我國最大的空間導航系統，也是四個全球導航系統之一，其他三個分別為美國的全球定位系統、俄羅斯的格洛納斯系統和歐盟的伽利略系統。
After a period of in-orbit tests, the new satellite will start formal operations and work with other Beidou satellites, allowing users around the globe to access high-accuracy navigation, positioning and timing services, the China Satellite Navigation Office said.
中國衛星導航管理辦公室稱，經過一段時間的在軌測試，這顆新衛星將開始正式運行，與其他北鬥衛星協同工作，使全球各地的用戶能夠獲得高清導航、定位和定時服務。
So far, 59 satellites, including the first four experimental ones, have been launched from Xichang on Long March 3Bs, some having since been put into retirement.
截至目前，西昌衛星發射中心通過長徵三號乙運載火箭共發射了59顆北鬥衛星，其中包括前四顆試驗衛星，有些衛星已經退役。
