>Hunt makes 'terrible' gaffe
英外交大臣訪華現口誤
把中國妻子說成日本人
Jeremy Hunt, Britain's new foreign secretary, has made an awkward debut in China when he sought to curry favor with his hosts by mentioning his Chinese wife, but accidentally referred to her as "Japanese". Hunt, who was on his first official visit to China since taking over from Boris Johnson, quickly acknowledged the "terrible" error. "My wife is Japanese – my wife is Chinese. That's a terrible mistake to make," he told his counterpart, the Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi. "My wife is Chinese and my children are half-Chinese and so we have Chinese grandparents who live in Xi'an and strong family connections in China," he added.
英國新任外交大臣傑裡米•亨特第一次訪華出現了十分尷尬的一幕，他本想通過提及自己的中國妻子來討好東道主，但卻不小心把妻子說成是"日本人"。接替鮑裡斯•詹森後首次正式訪華的亨特很快承認了這個"糟糕"的錯誤。他對中國外交部長王毅說："我的妻子是日本人——我的妻子是中國人。這個錯誤真是太糟糕了。"他補充道："我的妻子是中國人，我的孩子也是半個中國人。孩子的外祖父母住在西安，我們在中國有著很強的家庭紐帶。"

>Secret to men's happiness
研究:男性學業差會痛苦
Failing to match the academic achievements of your parents can be as distressing for men as a divorce, a study suggests. Oxford University researchers found that exceeding parents' educational attainment was linked to decreased psychological distress in men - but falling short was linked to an increase. Men whose educational status was at the bottom level and whose parents were at the top level were more than twice as likely to be among the 10% of most psychologically distressed people than those whose educational level matched their parents'. However women did not appear to be affected by failing to keep up with their parents. "The reason for this could be that men are more likely than women to attribute success and failure by pointing to their own merits, abilities and effort, rather than factors they have no control over," said study co-author Dr Alexi Gugushvili.
研究顯示，對男性來說，學業成績比不上父母的痛苦程度堪比離婚。牛津大學的研究人員發現，超過父母的學業造詣能減少男性的心理痛苦，但不及父母的學業造詣會增加心理痛苦。自己的受教育程度最差，而父母的學業造詣處於頂級水平的男性成為心理最痛苦人群的可能性是與父母的受教育程度持平的男性的兩倍多。心理最痛苦人群佔總人口的10%。然而女性似乎不會受到學業成績不及父母的影響。研究合著者亞力克西•古古什維利博士稱，箇中原因可能是，男性比女性更容易把成敗歸因於個人的優點、能力和付出，而不是他們無法掌控的因素。

>Fake accounts found on FB
臉書刪除'帶節奏'假帳號
Facebook announced Tuesday that its security unit has found a coordinated campaign on its platform aiming to exert political influence ahead of the upcoming US midterm elections in the next few months. Facebook said it has removed 32 pages and accounts from Facebook and Instagram for being "involved in coordinated inauthentic behavior." Facebook said it found more than 290,000 accounts followed at least one of these pages, the earliest of which was created in March 2017. The latest was created in May 2018. They ran about 150 ads for approximately $11,000 on Facebook and Instagram. Facebook determined that those pages have created about 30 events since May 2017, and the largest had 1,400 users saying that they would attend.
臉書7月31日宣布，其安全部門在公司旗下平臺上發現了一項有組織行動，目的是在數月後即將到來的美國中期選舉之前施加政治影響力。臉書稱，公司已在臉書和Ins上刪除了32個網頁和帳戶，理由是"涉嫌蓄意編造虛假信息"。臉書稱，超過29萬個帳戶至少關注了其中的一個網頁，其中最早的創建於2017年3月，最遲的創建於2018年5月。它們在臉書和Ins上花費約1.1萬美元打了約150個廣告。臉書確定，這些網頁自從2017年5月以來共製造了大約30個事件，最大的事件中有1400個用戶表示願意參加。
