1. CONSTRUCTION RESUMES ON SHANGHAI-CHENGDU RAILWAY

争分夺秒！沪渝蓉铁路宝山段工程节后按下“快进键”

Construction resumed on the Baoshan portion of the Shanghai-Chongqing-Chengdu High-Speed Railway. Baoshan Station will also be linked to the Shanghai-Suzhou-Nantong Railway. Zhang Hong tells us more.

在春节前夕打下第一根桩之后，日前沪渝蓉铁路宝山段工程开启加速度，以隧道工程始发井桩基工程为“先锋”节点的项目建设按下“快进键”。这条铁路将与沪通铁路二期一起，携手接入未来的高铁上海宝山站。记者张泓带来详细报道。

Workers were busy making reinforced steel cages at a steel processing factory in Baoshan. Thecages will be used for railway construction.

在宝山的一家钢铁加工厂，工人们正忙着制作加固的钢筋笼，这些材料都将悉数用于铁路建设。

“We had 20 people working here during the Spring Festival holiday. Now we have another 50. Work will be back to full capacity in 10 days.”

“春节期间我们总共留了20个工人在这儿施工，春节后我们积极组织人员，新进场了50人，预计再有10天的时间，整个可以恢复到正常的施工状态。”

Construction has started on a tunnel as part of the Shanghai-Chongqing-Chengdu line. Every train will go through the 3-kilometer tunnel to reach Baoshan Station.

沪渝蓉高铁上海至南京至合肥段是中长期铁路网规划“八纵八横”之沿江通道的骨干线路、沿海及京沪辅助通道的重要组成部分，每辆高铁都将通过3公里长的隧道到达宝山站。

“The construction on the ground is very complicated. The tunnel is beneath factories, infrastructure, bridges, pile foundations, a river and important pipelines. The soft soil here also makes construction more difficult.”

“这一路段的地面环境非常复杂，主要是我们隧道要下穿大量的厂房、建构筑物、桥梁、桩基，还有河和重要的管线；第二个是我们隧道的地质条件很复杂，因为它位于淤泥软土地层，隧道的覆土全程在浅覆土的地层，所以对我们施工、控制都提出了很高的要求。”

The construction team is using a tunnel boring machine with a diameter【直径】 of 13.5 meters to control ground subsidence.

记者看到，施工队正在使用直径为13.5米的隧道掘进机来控制地面沉降。

“We’re now building a launching shaft for the tunnel boring machine and are also consolidating the soil. The tunnel is expected to be completed in March 2025.”

“我们项目组已经开始大面积展开施工，现在在做宝山隧道始发井的前期围护结构，包括地基加固的工作，预计2025年3月份宝山隧道能够贯通。”

Five projects are expected to be completed including the Anhui Province section of the Nanchang-Jingdezhen-Huangshan Railway. Construction is scheduled to begin on another five railway projects in the Yangtze Delta this year.

目前，包括南昌-景德镇-黄山铁路安徽省段在内的五个项目预计将完工。长三角的另外五个铁路项目计划在今年开始施工。

2. MORE OLD HOUSES TO BE REFURBISHED IN XUHUI

上海“两旧一村”改造全力推进，徐汇区今年首个完工的成套改造项目焕新颜！

Xuhui District government officials said today that old residential communities covering 3million square meters will be renovated this year, while in Putuo District, plans were announced to build new rental housing. Zhang Yue finds out more.

今年，徐汇区成套改造工作将持续推进，跑出城市更新加速度。2023年，徐汇旧改工作将对占地300万平方米的旧住宅小区进行改造。与此同时，普陀区桃浦科技智慧城的保障性租赁住宅项目正在建设中。记者张乐带来详细报道。

Longshan Residential Compound is one of the projects to be renovated this year. Near Shanghai Stadium, three of its buildings were built in the 1970s and need to be improved as in some cases three families share one toilet. Residents have been complaining about water leaks, and some added a shower in either their kitchen or on their balcony. The renovation projects will expand areas and ensure each household has a separate bathroom and kitchen.

龙山新村位于上海体育场对面，其中的20、22、24号三幢楼建于1973年，是六层楼的多层住宅。楼里两三户人家合用一个狭窄的厕所，没有马桶，更无法洗澡。一些居民只能在自家厨房间或阳台上另辟卫浴空间，但由此引发的漏水又加剧了邻里矛盾。去年底，徐汇区将此列为成套改造项目，拟向东侧扩建，进行结构性大修，并通过适当增量完成厨卫独用。

“Residents will no longer have to share a kitchen or bathroom once the project is completed. Elevators will also be installed, and overhead power lines will be moved underground. Some structural safety hazards will also be reduced, so that families can enjoy a more modern style of living.”

“这些卫生间和厨房原本是居民合用的，接下来会变成独用，此外还会进行加装电梯、架空线入地等一系列项目，同时也解除了一些结构性隐患。总体来说我们致力于让居民得到实实在在的使用功能的提升。”

“A total of 3million square meters of houses will be refurbished this year, including 150,000 square meters of apartments that do not have a kitchen or bathroom. We hope to give more people in Xuhui a better life.”

“我们将全面推动300万平方米旧住房的整体修缮，全面启动15万平方米的不成套和小梁薄板住房改造，让更多的徐汇老百姓过上新生活。”

In Putuo, 642 government subsidized【给…补助金】rental houses will be completed in 2025 in Taopu Smart City. Government-subsidized rental homes are at least 10% cheaper than market prices, and do not require a rental term of six years, which tenants in public rental homes are usually forced to follow. Annual rental increases are also capped at no more than 5%.

而在普陀，桃浦科技智慧城的保障性租赁住宅项目正在建设中。这里将建设3栋高层住宅和生活配套用房，可提供642套保租房，计划2025年竣工投入使用。而这也是普陀区首块市场供应的保租房用地。相比公租房的六年时限，保租房并无租赁年限的要求。租金价格原则上是周边市场价格的九折及以下，且年涨幅不得超过5%。

3.GOOGLE’S CHATGPT RIVAL BARD ANSWERS INCORRECTLY AT DEMO

谷歌人工智能“巴德”回答出错谷歌市值蒸发千亿

After being unveiled【揭开面纱】 earlier this week, Google’s AI service Bard is already being called out for sharing inaccurate information in a demonstration meant to show off the tool’s abilities.

谷歌日前推出人工智能聊天机器人“巴德”，与当下流行的ChatGPT展开竞争。然而，“巴德”回答的准确性却遭受质疑。

Google shared a demonstration of Bard’s abilities yesterday. The Chat-bot was asked about new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope. The AI tool incorrectly stated that the telescope, which was launched in December 2021, took the very first pictures of a planet outside our solar system, also known as an "exoplanet". However, the first image of an exoplanet was taken by the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in 2004. Shares of Google’s parent company Alphabet, slipped by more than 7 percent yesterday after the news of Bard’s error broke.

“巴德”在近日的一次演示中称，2021年升空的詹姆斯·韦布空间望远镜是第一台拍摄太阳系外行星照片的望远镜。但事实上，欧洲甚大望远镜在2004年就完成了这一里程碑式壮举。受此影响，昨天（02/08），谷歌的母公司“字母表”公司股价下跌超7%，市值蒸发约1000亿美元。谷歌公司对此回应称，“巴德”的错误突显出严格测试流程的重要性，本周谷歌将通过启动这一流程，把外部反馈和内部测试结合起来，以确保这款人工智能聊天机器人反馈的信息在质量、安全性和完整性方面达到一个更高的标准。
