Nearly 65,000 people, including about 50,000 Pudong Airport employees, have been tested as of 9am today. More than 27,000 had tested negative, while the remaining results hadn’t come back.

截至今天（3日）上午9点，近6万5千人（包括大约5万名浦东机场员工）已经接受了核酸检测。超过2万7千人的检测结果呈阴性，后续情况将及时向社会公布。

The National Health Commission reported 61 new local COVID-19 cases yesterday on the Chinese mainland along with 29 imported ones. Another 41 asymptomatic carriers were discovered -- among them, 23 were local. Among local patients, 45 were in Jiangsu, with five from Nanjing and 40 from Yangzhou, which is about 100 kilometers east of Shanghai.

2.FIRST TRANSGENDER ATHLETE COMPETES IN OLYMPICS

新西兰举重选手成奥运史上首位变性运动员

Weight-lifter Laurel Hubbard of New Zealand made history by becoming the first openly transgender athlete to compete at an Olympic Games last night, but she suffered a disappointing early exit from the women’s over-87-kilogram final after three no lifts in the snatch【抓，夺】.

昨天（3日），新西兰选手哈伯德亮相女子87公斤以上级别的赛场，成为奥运会史上首个公开参赛的跨性别女性运动员。遗憾的是，她的三次抓举都没能成功，提前告别了东京奥运会赛场。

Despite not reaching the final round, Hubbard smiled and cupped her hands together in a heart gesture before walking off the stage. She thanked International Olympic Committee for living up to the Olympic values and showing that sport is for all.

尽管没有进入最后一轮，哈伯德还是微笑着比了个心，然后结束了此次奥运征程。她表示，体育运动属于所有人，国际奥林匹克委员会没有辜负奥林匹克价值观。

INTERVIEW:

Laurel Hubbard

New Zealand Weight-lifter

哈伯德 新西兰举重运动员

“I’m just so grateful that I’ve had the opportunity to come here and be me. I don’t think it should be historic. I think that, as we move into a sort of new and more understanding world, people are starting to realize that people like me are just people.”

我很感谢有这个机会可以参赛，可以做我自己。我不认为这应该是历史性的时刻，我觉得当我们进入一个全新且更加包容的世界，人们会开始意识到，像我这样的也只是一个人。

Hubbard was born male and competed in weightlifting at junior level. She transitioned eight years ago, resumed weightlifting and became eligible for the Games under a 2015 IOC consensus allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s events. There have been fierce disputes on the issue. Some have argued that relatively little research has been conducted on transgender athletes, making it hard to gauge the extent of physical advantages that could remain after transitioning. In other news,the IOC decided to launch an investigation to clarify the facts around the case of Krystsina Tsimanouskaya, the Belarusian athlete who was granted sanctuary in Poland after she feared for her safety when her team’s officials tried to force her to fly home.

哈伯德曾是男性，是一名初级举重运动员。八年前，她完成了性别转变。2015年，国际奥委会达成共识，允许变性运动员参加女子项目。这一举动在当时的国际舆论上引发巨大争议。一些人认为，对变性运动员的研究相对较少，因此很难衡量变性后身体所占的优势。此外，国际奥委会决定展开调查，以弄清有关白俄罗斯奥运选手齐马努斯卡娅拒绝回国一事。这位白俄罗斯运动员因担心自己的安全拒绝登机，波兰方面当天向齐马努斯卡娅发放了签证。此前，白俄罗斯奥运代表团试图将其强行遣送回国。

2.OODLES OF NOODLES AT AI COMMUNITY CANTEEN

帮你照顾好爸爸妈妈的胃~上海首家AI社区智能食堂来了！

The city’s first AI community canteen is now officially open to the public at Hongqiao Community in Changning District. It features an unmanned cooking system to supply meals and an intelligent program as cashiers.

在长宁区虹桥社区，上海首家AI社区智能食堂现已正式向公众开放。智能烹饪系统完成菜品烹饪，智能结算台则负责收银。

Early in the morning, the Hongqiao community canteen fills with hungry diners. One menu favorite is noodles made by a robot. When an empty bowl is put on the plate, the robot starts cooking. Soup is added after the noodles are placed in the bowl. It takes less than two minutes. People can then choose toppings【浇头】and pay for it by putting the plate under a camera, which scans the food and shows the price.

一大早，虹桥社区食堂就挤满了饥肠辘辘的食客，机器人煮的面条是其中最受欢迎的菜品之一。机器人先将一个空碗放在盘子上，然后开始烹饪。之后将煮好的面条放入碗中，浇上汤汁。这一过程不到两分钟。人们选择浇头之后，将盘子放在摄像头下，摄像头会自动扫描食物并显示价格。

INTERVIEW:

Ms. Xu, Resident

徐女士，社区居民

“Children loved seeing a yellow robot cooking noodles. I also brought my father here and he also enjoyed the noodles as they are well-cooked. It’s important to serve something that the elderly can chew easily.”

请"小黄"来做的面条，小孩觉得很新奇，很喜欢吃，老人觉得面条做得很软，我父亲说咬得动，这点对老人家很重要。

INTERVIEW:

Ms. Liu, Resident

刘女士，社区居民

“I think the food here is better because it is clean. I can choose what I like and it tastes okay.”

质量比外面好一点，主要是干净。味道的话，反正是自己选的菜，也不错的。

The canteen offers about 20 options for breakfast, with prices ranging from 2 to 4 yuan. Steamed, fried or baked, all food is prepared by the unmanned cooking system. Li Ming, CEO of the company, said the system reduces labor by about 50 to 80 percent. For the canteen that is 130 square meters, only 2 staff are needed. It’s also designed to be user friendly, especially seniors.

该食堂提供约20种早餐，价格从2元到4元不等。不管是蒸、炸，还是烤，所有食物都由智能烹饪系统自动烹饪。该公司首席执行官李明表示，该系统将劳动力减少约50%至80%，130平方米大的食堂只需要2名员工。该食堂对老年人来说更为友好。

“People don’t need to register for a membership or use a smart phone. Seniors can pay with their senior card. Our recipes are also designed for the elderly, including those with diabetes and high blood pressure.”

在整个过程中，不需要办卡、注册会员，不需要使用手机，老年人在这里消费，只需要拿菜，最后视觉识别结算，刷老年卡就可以。针对老年人，我们还做了一些菜品上的设计，比如很多菜会做得比较软糯，有糖尿病、高血压的，我们也会在食谱上进行一些考虑。

The AI system also monitors the supply and demand of each dish and will command the robots to prepare more if certain dishes are popular. The canteen has seen more than 200 people each day since opening on a trial basis last month. The canteen is part of Hongqiao community’s effort to retired folks as there are about 19,000 residents over 60 years old, accounting for around 38% of the neighborhood’s population. The community now has at least 5 canteens for seniors.

人工智能系统还会监测每道菜的供应量和需求量。如果某些菜很受欢迎，机器人就会准备更多食材。自上个月试营业以来，食堂每天接待200多人。该食堂是虹桥社区专为退休人员提供的服务。虹桥社区60岁以上居民约有19000人，约占社区人口的38%。该社区现在至少有5个老年食堂。
