Hannah tang, a company manager in Beijing, first went under the knife when she was 18. The surgeon made an incision across each of her eyelids, then stitched folds of skin back to transform her monolids into “double eyelids”. The result was eyes that look bigger, rounder, and in Ms Tang’s opinion, more beautiful. Now 35, Ms Tang (not her real name) has since had two more eyelid surgeries, as well as botox injections in her neck and monthly non-invasive “skin booster” treatments. “Pretty much everyone I know around me has had fillers or surgery,” she says.

唐汉娜（化名）是北京一家公司的经理，她第一次进行整容手术是在18岁。整形外科医生在她的两只眼皮上各做了一个切口，再缝合皮肤皱褶，把她的单眼皮变成了“双眼皮”。手术后，她的眼睛看起来更大更圆了，在唐女士看来，也更漂亮了。此后，唐女士（现35岁）又做了两次双眼皮手术，在颈部注射了肉毒杆菌，每个月还要接受无创“水光针”治疗。她说：“我周围认识的人几乎都植入过填充物或做过整容手术”。

Many studies have found that parents’ attitudes toward gender roles and work greatly affect their children’s attitudes. Part of working mothers’ guilt has been, ‘Oh, my kids are going to be so much better off if I stay home.” Yet evidence is mounting that having a working mother has some economic, educational and social benefits for children of both sexes. That is not to say that children do not also benefit when their parents spend more time with them — they do. But we make trade-offs in how we spend our time, and research shows that children of working parents also accrue benefits.

许多研究发现，父母对性别角色和工作的态度会极大影响孩子的态度。一些职场妈妈会产生内疚感，认为“如果我呆在家里，孩子会发展得更好”。然而越来越多的证据表明，职场妈妈在经济、教育和社会层面上会给孩子（无论男女）带来更好的影响。这并不是说，父母花更多时间与孩子在一起不会给孩子带来有利影响，好处当然有！但我们需要在时间投入上作出权衡。研究表明，父母双方均在职的孩子也能获益。

As the world enters the second year of the pandemic, two crises are unfolding. The more urgent and visible one is in poor countries like India, where a surge of covid-19 cases is threatening to overwhelm the state. India is recording more than 350,000 cases a day, and many more than that are thought to be going undetected. The suffering is grievous. Oxygen supplies at Indian hospitals are running far short of what is needed, and crematoriums are overwhelmed.

在世界迈入新冠疫情的第二年之际，两大危机正拉开序幕。其中更为紧迫和显见的危机蔓延于印度这样的穷国，新冠病例的疯长让整个印度正面临着被疫情压垮的危机。印度单日记录病例超过35万，据信还有大量病例未被查出。印度正面临着沉重的苦难。印度医院的氧气供应远远不足，火葬场也不堪重负。

Smart leaders today are thinking the unthinkable and asking whether they need an office at all. Joanna Swash, a CEO， said “Before Covid-19 I thought we’ve got amazing offices, and that they are this space that everybody loves,” “What I learned was that our culture was so strong that it wasn’t just based on the office or on the physical environment, but it was based on that whole community feel, and how people trust each other.

聪明的领导如今认为在家办公是难以想象的，想问他们是否需要办公室。乔安娜，一个ceo说，“在新冠病毒之前，我认为我们拥有非常不错的办公室，那是所有人都喜欢的地方”，“我们所学到的企业文化是非常强大的，它并不是基于一个办公室或者一个实体的环境，然而它是基于一个整体的群体气氛以及人们如何信任彼此。

There comes a moment when the penny drops. And in Britain this week the sound of dropping pennies was loud. Though Britons are by no means the worst affected by the heatwaves now sweeping the northern hemisphere, they have been in awe of a particular round number: 40°C. This is an air temperature never before recorded in the United Kingdom. But it was matched and exceeded in several places on July 19th. It is one thing to understand intellectually that anthropogenic global warming is real, quite another to feel one’s own brain baking.

终有一刻会水落石出。而本周，英国这水落的声音尤其明显。尽管英国人绝不是受现在席卷北半球的酷热影响最严重的人，但他们一直对一个特定的温度整数数值感到敬畏：40°C。而 这是英国从未有过的温度记录。但在7月19日，多个地方都达 到甚至超过这一数值。从知识层面上理解人为全球变暖是真实 存在的是一回事，但是真真切切的感受到温度的攀升却是另一 回事。注：the penny drops在英文当中有水落石出之意。
