Myanmar military detained elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi

缅甸军方扣押民选领导人昂山素季

Last Monday, Myanmar’s military detained the democratically elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi. The army said the detention was necessary because the government had not acted on① the military’s claims of fraud② in November’s elections, in which Suu Kyi’s ruling party③ won a majority of the parliamentary seats up for grabs④. The army handed power to military chief Min Aung Hlaing and imposed a state of emergency for one year. Nobel Peace Prize winner Suu Kyi, 75, came to power after a 2015 election win that followed decades of house arrest⑤ in a struggle for democracy with Myanmar’s junta⑥ that turned her into an international icon⑦. While she has remained popular at home, Suu Kyi’s deference⑧ to the generals—going so far as to defend their crackdown on Rohingyas—has left her reputation internationally in tatters⑨.

2月1日，缅甸军方扣押了民选领袖昂山素季。军方表示，政府没有对其指控的11月选举舞弊采取行动，所以这次扣押很有必要。大选中，昂山素季领导的执政党赢得了议会多数待选席位。军方将权力移交给国防军总司令敏昂莱，并下令实施为期一年的紧急状态。昂山素季是诺贝尔和平奖得主，现年75岁。她于2015年赢得大选，上台执政。此前，她曾被软禁数十年，为争取民主与缅甸军政府斗争，她也因此成为国际偶像。虽然昂山素季在缅甸国内广受欢迎，但她对将军们颇为恭顺，甚至为其镇压罗兴亚人辩护，这令她在国际上的声誉一落千丈。

Capt. Tom Moore died

汤姆·摩尔上尉逝世

Captain① Tom Moore, who captured Britain’s heart② as he raised more than £30 million for the NHS③ last year, has died at the age of 100 last Tuesday. The centenarian④ was admitted to Bedford hospital on January 31, a week after he tested positive for COVID-19, following treatment for pneumonia⑤. Captain Tom, a WWII veteran⑥, became the nation’s sweetheart⑦ after he set an initial goal of raising £1,000 by his 100th birthday in April 2020 by walking around his garden, with a walking frame⑧. He went on to raise around £33 million for the NHS, breaking two Guinness world records. He was also knighted by Queen Elizabeth and became the oldest artist to claim a UK No. 1 single⑨ for his cover⑩of You’ll Never Walk Alone with Michael Ball and the NHS Voices of Care choir. (The Independent)

2月2日，汤姆·摩尔上尉与世长辞，享年100岁。去年，他为英国国民医疗服务体系（NHS）筹款3000多万英镑，赢得了全英国人民的心。1月31日，在新冠检测呈阳性一周后，这位百岁老人住进了贝德福德医院，此前他曾接受肺炎治疗。汤姆上尉是二战老兵。他最初定下的目标是，撑着助行架绕自家花园步行，以此举在2020年4月百岁生日前募集1000英镑——这使他成为全英国人民的心头好。后来，汤姆上尉继续为NHS筹集了约3300万英镑，打破了两项吉尼斯世界纪录。伊丽莎白女王还授予了他爵士头衔。他更曾与歌手迈克尔·波尔和NHS关怀之声合唱团共同翻唱《你永远不会独行》，由此成为英国单曲榜最年长的冠军。

Jeff Bezos steps down as Amazon CEO

杰夫·贝佐斯卸任亚马逊首席执行官

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will step down as chief executive of the e-commerce giant, turning over① the reins② to the company’s longtime cloud-computing boss Andy Jassy. Bezos will transition to the role of executive chair this summer. The looming③ transition marks the most radical shake-up④ in Amazon’s corporate ranks in its nearly 30-year history. Bezos moves into a new role that keeps him at the company in a position where he will focus on innovation at Amazon and hands off⑤ the top job to a trusted deputy⑥. Under Bezos’s stewardship⑦, Amazon evolved from an upstart⑧ online bookseller into one of the world’s most popular Internet marketplaces able to quickly deliver a vast catalogue⑨ of products and services. Bezos steps away from Amazon at a time when its market value hovers⑩ around $1.7 trillion, making it one of the most valuable companies in the world. (The Washington Post)

电商巨头亚马逊创始人杰夫·佐斯将卸任首席执行官，将领导权移交给公司长期主管云计算业务的安迪·杰西。今年夏天，贝佐斯将转而担任执行董事。即将到来的交接标志着亚马逊近30年历史上最剧烈的人事变动。贝佐斯的新职位将使他留在亚马逊，关注创新业务，并将最高职位交给值得信赖的副手。在贝佐斯的管理下，亚马逊从一个新兴的线上书店发展成为全球最受欢迎的网上集市之一，能够迅速提供大量的产品和服务。目前，亚马逊市值保持在1.7万亿美元左右，是全球最有价值的公司之一。

Canada designated the Proud Boys as a terrorist entity①

加拿大认定“骄傲男孩”为恐怖主义实体

The Canadian government designated the Proud Boys group as a terrorist entity last Wednesday, noting they played a pivotal② role in the insurrection③ at the US Capitol on Jan. 6. The group’s assets can now be frozen by banks and financial institutions. Anyone belonging to the group can be blocked from entering Canada. The Proud Boys have faced increased scrutiny after seizing on④ the former Trump administration’s policies and the group was a major agitator⑤ during earlier protests and the Capitol riot. The Proud Boys is a far-right, male chauvinist⑥ extremist group known for engaging in violent clashes at political rallies. Canada is the first country to designate them as a terrorist entity. During a September presidential debate, Donald Trump had urged the Proud Boys to “stand back⑦ and stand by⑧” when asked to condemn them by a moderator⑨. (AP and Reuters)

2月3日，加拿大政府认定“骄傲男孩”为恐怖主义实体组织，称其在1月6日的美国国会大厦暴动中扮演了关键角色。现在，银行等金融机构可以冻结其资产，组织成员会被禁止入境加拿大。“骄傲男孩”曾恶意利用美国上届特朗普政府的政策，如今面临更严格的审查。在早前的抗议活动和美国国会大厦暴动中，该组织都是重要煽动者。“骄傲男孩”是极右男性沙文主义极端组织，以参与政治集会上的暴力冲突而闻名。加拿大是首个将他们列为恐怖主义实体的国家。在去年9月的一场美国总统大选辩论中，主持人曾要求唐纳德·特朗普谴责“骄傲男孩”，而特朗普却敦促他们“后退待命”。

快手上市

Kuaishou Technology, the operator of China’s most popular short-video service after ByteDance Ltd.’s Douyin, jumped 161% in its Hong Kong debut① last Friday after a $5.4 billion initial public offering. The company sold shares at the top of its price range in a deal that ranks as the world’s biggest internet IPO since Uber Technologies Inc.’s $8.1 billion US share sale in May 2019. Founded by former Google employee Su Hua and Cheng Yixiao as an app built around sharing animated GIF images, Kuaishou pivoted② to short video in 2013 and added live streaming in 2016, landing footholds③ in what became two of the hottest social media formats in the world. (Bloomberg)
