Planned to be launched in 2021, MEASAT-3d will provide C and Ku-bands capacity for DTH, video distribution and telecommunication services. The new HTS Ka-band mission features multiple user spot beams optimized to deliver high speed broadband communications over Malaysia to bridge the digital divide in the country.

預計2021年發射升空的「MEASAT-3d」，將提供C頻段與Ku頻段容量負荷的直接到家（DTH）服務、視訊分配、遠距離通信服務。這顆新型高通量衛星（HTS）的Ka頻段任務特徵為多使用者點波束最佳化，可在馬來西亞全境提供高速寬頻通訊，彌合該國的數位落差。

Collocated with MEASAT-3a and MEASAT-3b at 91.5E, MEASAT-3d will serve the growth requirements of 4G and 5G mobile networks in Malaysia while continuing to provide redundancy and additional distribution capacity for video in HD, 4K and ultimately 8K in the Asia-Pacific region.

「MEASAT-3d」將與「MEASAT-3a」和「MEASAT-3b」共位於東經91.5度軌道，以滿足馬來西亞對第四代（4G）和第五代（5G）行動網路的需求增長，同時繼續在亞太地區為高畫質（HD）、四倍超高畫質（4K）和終極八倍超高畫質（8K）視訊提供冗餘和附加分配容量。

He was right.

他想得沒錯。

Mr. Sagutdinov’s encounter with the police in the city of Uralskon Monday, which was filmed and posted on YouTube, came as the country prepares for a presidential election in June, its first transfer of power in decades.

沙古特迪諾夫先生週一在烏拉爾斯空市遇到警察，整個經過還被拍攝下來張貼到YouTube之際，這個國家正準備在6月舉行總統大選，為數十年來首度權力轉移。

"I want to show that the idiocy in our country has gotten so strong that the police will detain me now even though there are no inscriptions, no slogans, without my chanting or saying anything," Mr. Sagutdinov said in the video.

「我要展現這種愚蠢行為在我們國家有多麼嚴重，甚至到了即使（標語牌上）沒有題字、沒有口號，我也沒有複誦或說些什麼，警察還是會拘留我（的地步），」沙古特迪諾夫先生在影片中如是說。

According to a report by the Open Observatory of Network Interference （OONI）, China started blocking all language editions of Wikipedia last month. Wikipedia was no longer accessible in the country and this had impacted 1.3 billion people.

「網路審查開放測量計畫」（OONI）的一份報告指出，中國從上個月開始封鎖維基百科所有語言版本。維基百科在中國再也無法存取，影響13億人口。

Wikipedia has been blocked intermittently in China since 2004. An earlier enforced ban barred Internet users from viewing the Chinese version, as well as the pages for sensitive search terms such as Dalai Lama and the Tiananmen massacre.

維基百科自2004年起在中國斷斷續續遭到封鎖。此前的強制限令禁止網路用戶檢視其中文版本，以及敏感搜尋名詞的頁面，例如達賴喇嘛和天安門大屠殺。

China has been clamping down on its citizens’ internet freedoms over the last few years. According to a study conducted by Reporters Without Borders, China is not just issuing censorships locally, but is also attempting to infiltrate foreign media in an attempt to deter criticism.

近幾年來，中國持續壓制公民的網路自由。根據「無國界記者組織」所做的一項研究，中國不僅在當地實施審查，還試圖滲透外國媒體以阻止批評。

#解憂電影院 No.340

讀者來信，節錄如下：

“ 水ㄤ水某你們好！

當你們的粉絲已經一年多了！很喜歡你們看事情的角度與想法，最近我跟遠距離在一起幾年的男友，關係感覺有點瀕臨危機的感覺，因為我發現他跟朋友一起鬧著玩交友軟體。

雖然他跟我說沒有上去聊天也沒有約出去，發現當下真的是很難過，平時他真的對我很好我們相處沒有任何問題，我不太能理解他說只是因為“好奇”的原因，事後也跟我認錯也很努力想要補償我，但我現在情緒很反覆，有時還是處在一個對他總會猜忌懷疑的心態總是忐忑不安，壓力大到快崩潰，不知道該不該繼續信任他。

所以想問你們有沒有推薦的電影，想讓自己透過電影轉換思維做出決定?”

我們推薦的電影是《控制》。

The changes in the animals’ vision were striking. As soon as the oxygen levels dipped below what is typically found at the surface of the ocean, their eyesight declined - most notably in the rock crab and the squid larvae, which were almost completely blind by the time oxygen was at its lowest point - 20 percent of surface levels.

這些動物的視力變化驚人。只要水中含氧量降至低於海水面一般溶氧量，牠們的視力就會下降—視力下降最顯著的是黃道蟹和烏賊幼仔，其置身於最低含氧量（海水面的20％）環境時幾乎全盲。

The oceans have lost a significant amount of oxygen in the last 50 years, with a significant portion of this due to nutrient pollution that leads to algae blooms that deplete the oxygen, and rising temperatures. This could lead to a situation whereby the crabs and cephalopods can no longer easily see the prey they need to catch, nor the predators they need to avoid.

海洋在過去50年內已失去大量氧氣，其中很大一部分肇因於營養鹽污染造成的「藻華」現象，導致氧氣消耗、溫度上升。這些可能讓螃蟹和頭足類動物不再能順利看見牠們需要捕捉的獵物，也無法躲避捕食者。

The jobless rate stood at 4.4 percent, up 0.3 percentage point from a year earlier and marking the highest for any April since 2000, when Asia’s fourth-largest economy was reeling under the aftermaths of the Asian Financial Crisis.

失業率為4.4％，年增0.3個百分點，乃自2000年以來，每年4月的最高數字。而亞洲第4大經濟體南韓於2000年時，正因「亞洲金融危機」的餘波而步履蹣跚。

The latest jobless rate was partly attributable to the increased number of applicants to take the civil servant test. About 380,000 took the test in April this year, while 200,000 had applied in March last year. Taking the heaviest blow from the sluggish employment trend was the retail and wholesale sector, which lost 76,000 positions in April.

該最新失業率部分歸因於參加公務人員考試的考生人數增加，今年4月約有38萬人，但去年3月為20萬人。因就業趨勢低迷而受創最重的是零售及批發業，4月減少7.6萬個工作。

Danny Baker, who until Thursday morning was a broadcaster for BBC’s 5Live, was accused of making fun of Meghan’s mixed-race heritage.

直到週四早上都還是BBC的5Live播報員的丹尼．貝克，被控拿（薩塞克斯公爵夫人）梅根的混血背景開玩笑。

Baker tweeted the offending image shortly after Prince Harry and Meghan presented Baby Archie to the world in his first photocall.

貝克在哈利王子與梅根首度帶著亞契寶寶對外亮相供媒體拍照後不久，推文發表此一令人不悅的照片。

His original tweet, since deleted, showed a black-and-white photo of a couple, with the woman holding hands with a young chimpanzee wearing a hat and a jacket.

在他已刪除的原始推文上有一張黑白照，照片中有一對男女，其中女子與一隻戴著帽子、身穿外套的小黑猩猩手拉著手。

The caption read: “Royal baby leaves hospital.”

Therefore, in 2018, Japan’s government unveiled a proposal with the goal of reducing the country’s 9.4 million tonnes of plastic waste a year by 25 percent by 2030. A key part of the proposal is to require businesses to charge for plastic bags.

因此，日本政府在2018年公布一項提案，希望讓日本每年940萬噸的塑膠廢棄物，在2030年前減少25%，關鍵做法之一就是要求商家對塑膠袋收費。

However, the proposals so far still lack any specific measures on limiting other types of single-use plastic waste, such as straws or cups. With the national government moving slowly, local governments and businesses have in some cases taken up the mantle themselves.

然而，在限制吸管、杯子等其他一次性塑膠廢棄物方面，這項提案至今仍欠缺詳細措施。由於中央政府進展緩慢，地方政府和企業已率先在某些層面扮演領頭羊。

While public awareness about plastic pollution is growing in Japan, the country’s famed waste sorting and pristine streets had the effect of "hiding" the scale of the problem. The Japanese government needs more ambitious goals.（AFP）

雖然日本對於塑膠污染的公眾意識正在提升，但這個國家知名的垃圾分類系統及乾淨的街道，有效「掩飾」了這個問題的規模。日本政府必須設立更宏大的目標。（法新社）

The voracious, inch-long fall armyworm, the larval form of the armyworm moth, can breed rapidly, spread great distances and is hugely difficult to eradicate.

狼吞虎嚥、1吋長的秋行軍蟲，是斜紋夜蛾的幼蟲，可快速繁殖、長距離擴散，且極難根絕。

It has a large impact on a wide range of crops, including important Chinese staples such as rice, soybeans and corn. According to the US report, it may have already spread to a range of southern Chinese provinces including Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, Guizhou, Hunan and Hainan.

牠對廣泛作物產生重大衝擊，包括重要的中國主食，比如稻米、大豆與玉米等。根據這份美國報告，該害蟲恐已蔓延到中國南部省分，包括雲南、廣西、廣東、貴州、湖南與海南。

The new pest comes as the Chinese government faces a number of daunting agricultural challenges. Every province in the country has now been affected by African swine fever virus, which is devastating the pork industry.

這種新害蟲出現在中國政府正面臨若干令人畏怯的農業挑戰之際。中國每個省分現在遭到非洲豬瘟病毒衝擊，重創豬肉產業。

The Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation bill was passed by lawmakers on Wednesday and will come into force in the next few weeks. The government can now order platforms to remove what it deems to be false statements that are "against the public interest", and to post corrections.

國會議員週三通過「防止網路假訊息與網路操縱法」，將於未來幾週開始實施。星國政府現在可以下令網路平台移除其認為「危害公共利益」的虛假陳述，並發佈更正。

A person found guilty of doing this in Singapore could be fined heavily and/or jailed for up to five years. It also bans the use of fake accounts or bots to spread fake news - this carries penalties of up to S$1m and a jail term of up to 10 years.

星國民眾被判定犯此罪行，將支付鉅額罰款，及（或）判監最高5年。該法也禁止使用假帳號或機器人散播假新聞，違者最高處以100萬星幣罰款，及最高10年徒刑。

But critics say it poses a serious threat to civil liberties. One main criticism is that the law is phrased too broadly and gives ministers too much power to decide what is true or false.

但批評者指出，該法對公民自由構成嚴重威脅。批評重點之一在於該法的措辭過於廣泛，給予部會首長過多權力決斷真假。

Pyongyang first showed off its version of Iskander during a military parade in February last year, and had not test-fired before. "Given, in particular, that the altitude of what North Korea fired on Saturday and yesterday all reached around 50 km, they seem to be the same type of Iskander ballistic missiles," said Shin Jong-woo, a senior analyst at the Korea Defense and Security Forum in Seoul.

平壤在去年2月舉行的一場閱兵時，首次炫耀北韓版的伊斯坎德，此前從未試射。首爾「韓國國防安保論壇」資深分析師申鐘雨（譯音）說，「尤其有鑑於北韓週六（4日）和昨天（9日）的發射物（飛行）高度，都達到約50公里，因此它們似乎與伊斯坎德彈道飛彈型號相同。」

Some suspect that the projectiles fired Thursday could be scud-type missiles or medium-range Nodong ones, but others pointed out scud-type or Nodong missiles should reach a peak elevation of 80 km in order to cover a ground distance of 280 km. "After carrying out an initial test last week on the east coast, the North appears to have taken the weapons to its western region for a next-phase test, which is a typical way of its developing missiles," Shin added.

部分人士猜想，週四的發射物可能是「飛毛腿」型飛彈或中程「蘆洞」飛彈，惟其他人士指出，飛毛腿型或蘆洞飛彈應達到80公里的最大高度，以覆蓋280公里的地面距離（即作戰範圍）。申鐘雨還說，「北韓上週（4日）在其東岸進行初次試射後，為了下一階段的試射，似乎已把這些武器運到其西部地區，這是北韓研發飛彈的典型作法。」

Leonardo da Vinci, who lived from 1452-1519, was an artist and inventor whose talents included architecture, anatomy, engineering and sculpture, as well as painting but his painting skills wore away towards the end of his life

李奧納多．達文西，生活於1452至1519年間，是一名藝術家及發明家，其天分包括建築、解剖學、工程、雕刻及繪畫，但他的繪畫技巧在生命尾聲時衰退。

A portrait of the Italian Renaissance artist shows his right hand, wrapped in clothing like a bandage and suspended in a stiff, contracted position. It had been suggested that his hand impairment was caused by a stroke.

這位義大利文藝復興時期藝術家的一張肖像畫顯示，他的右手包裹著像是繃帶的衣物，以僵硬、緊縮的姿勢懸掛。過去有人認為，他的手部損傷是中風引起。

But in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, the doctors suggest it was nerve damage that meant he could no longer hold a palette and brush. Experts believe the injury may have forced him to leave many works incomplete.

但在「英國皇家醫學會期刊」中，醫生指出，這是神經損傷，意味著他無法再握調色盤及畫筆。專家相信，這項傷勢可能迫使他留下許多未完成的作品。

The current outbreak is the second deadliest on record, after an epidemic killed more than 11,300 people in West Africa in 2014-2016.

當前的疫病爆發是死亡案例的第二高紀錄，僅次於2014至2016年在西非區域造成逾1萬1300人死亡的流行。

Efforts to roll back the outbreak of the hemorrhagic fever have been hampered by fighting but also by resistance within communities to preventative measures, care facilities and safe burials.

遏制該出血熱疫病爆發的努力，由於衝突以及當地社區對防治措施、照護場所與安全埋葬的抗拒而受阻。

The World Health Organization had initially voiced hope it would be able to contain the outbreak, thanks a new vaccine. But in recent weeks senior WHO officials have conceded that insecurity, scarce financial resources and local politicians turning people against health workers had seriously undermined the containment effort.

世界衛生組織（WHO）起初說，拜一款新疫苗所賜，疫情可望獲得控制。但近幾週來，WHO高階官員坦承，安全問題、財政資源不足，以及唆使民眾敵視衛生工作人員的當地政治人物，已嚴重破壞控制疫情的努力。

About seven designs of the royal emblem were submitted to His Majesty the King, who has since selected the final design.

The Nordic countries were long a bastion of strong fertility rates on an Old Continent that is rapidly getting older. But they are now experiencing a decline that threatens their welfare model, which is funded by taxpayers.

在快速高齡化的「舊大陸」（歐洲），北歐國家向來是高生育率的堡壘，但如今也面臨生育率下滑的問題，對透過全民納稅來維繫的社會福利制度構成威脅。

In Norway, Finland and Iceland, birth rates dropped to historic lows in 2017, with 1.49 to 1.71 children born per woman. Just a few years earlier, their birth rates hovered close to the 2.1 level required for their populations to remain stable.

在挪威、芬蘭及冰島，生育率在2017年降至歷史新低，平均每位女性生育1.49至1.71名兒女。再早幾年，這三國的生育率還徘徊在接近維持人口穩定所需的2.1人。

The Nordic region boasts a wealth of family-friendly initiatives, such as flexible working hours, a vast network of affordable daycares and generous parental leave systems.

北歐地區以擁有充裕的家庭友善計畫而自豪，像是彈性工時、範圍廣泛且索價低廉的日間照護網絡，以及慷慨的育嬰假機制。

When all that is still not enough to encourage people to have more children, immigration can be a lifeline － or a threat, depending on the point of view.（AFP）

Duterte made threats Tuesday about dozens of shipping containers filled with Canadian household and electronic garbage that has been rotting in a port near Manila for nearly six years. More than 100 of the containers were shipped to Manila by a Canadian company in 2013 and 2014, improperly labelled as plastics for recycling.

杜特蒂週二對加國祭出威脅，因為裝滿加國家庭與電子垃圾的大量裝運貨櫃，在馬尼拉附近一座港口已腐爛近6年。2013至2014年，逾百個貨櫃由一家加拿大企業運至馬尼拉，被不當地標示為回收塑膠。

Customs inspectors in the Philippines found they actually contained non-recyclable garbage, including soiled adult diapers and kitchen trash. The Philippines has been calling on Canada for years to repatriate its trash.

菲律賓海關檢查員發現，這些貨櫃裡面實際上裝有不可回收的垃圾，包括髒的成人尿布及廚餘等。菲國多年來一直要求加拿大將自己的垃圾運回國內。

Duterte often uses bombastic statements. Earlier this month, for instance, he threatened to send his troops on a "suicide mission" if Beijing didn’t lay off a Manila-occupied island in the South China Sea.

杜特蒂經常使用誇大的聲明。例如，他在本月初曾威脅要派遣軍隊從事「自殺任務」，如果北京不在一座馬尼拉佔領的南海島嶼停止活動的話。
