Erinome: Hello dear friends! Welcome to our daily news talk. I'm Erinome.
Enceladus: And I'm Enceladus. Let's see what's new today, shall we?
Erinome: First up, railway news! China Railway Group says from January to October this year, the national railway carried 3.95 billion passengers. That's a 6.4% increase from last year, and a new record for the same period in history! Wow, so many people traveling!
Enceladus: Oh right, maybe more people are taking trains for trips or work now. That's a big number!
Enceladus: Next, some train smoking news. Netizens said a passenger smoked on a train and the crew didn't stop. 12306 responded: ordinary speed trains have ashtrays at the connections, so smoking is allowed there.
Erinome: Oh, I didn't know that! So it's not allowed in the main车厢 (carriages), only at the connections? You know that?
Erinome: Now, a sad one. Some buyers are using AI to fake product damage photos to cheat "refund only" from sellers. Products under 100 yuan are the worst hit. And "fake tutorials" are even sold for 288 yuan as a package! Oh no, that's so dishonest!
Enceladus: Yeah, that's not fair to sellers. Hope they can stop this soon.
Enceladus: Moving to sports! National Games badminton results: Wang Manyu beat Sun Yingsha 4-2 to successfully defend the women's singles title. And Fan Zhendong beat Lin Shidong 4-1 to defend the men's singles title!
Erinome: Wow, congratulations to them! They must have worked so hard to keep the titles!
Erinome: Big science news from the moon! Chang'e-6 moon samples have something new—crystalline hematite, found for the first time. It helps us understand the moon's oxidation and magnetic anomalies better. Amazing! That's a huge step for moon research!
Enceladus: Right! Space exploration is always exciting.
Enceladus: Tech news: Huawei will release a breakthrough AI technology. They say it can improve computing resource utilization from 30% to 70%! That might solve the problem of low computing efficiency.
Erinome: Wow, that's cool! Better use of resources is so important these days.
Erinome: Now, a wild prediction from Musk. He says within 20 years, human consciousness may be uploaded to robots to achieve "immortality." Really? That sounds like a movie, haha!
Enceladus: Yeah, so sci-fi! I wonder if that will really happen.
Enceladus: Apple fans, listen up. There's a report that CEO Tim Cook may step down as early as next year. The current senior vice president of hardware engineering might be his successor.
Erinome: Um, interesting. Let's see if that comes true.
Erinome: Academic news: Fujian Normal University held a "Liugouxue" (Ryukyu Studies) seminar. It's been selected into CASS's rare discipline support program. Good to see more focus on these special studies!
Enceladus: Yeah, preserving rare knowledge is important.
Enceladus: Japanese media reports: Japan's seven major automakers are facing profit drops. Due to U.S. tariffs, their profits are down about 30% year-on-year, and this is the second year in a row. Oh no, that's tough for them.
Erinome: Canadian news: Burnaby city in Canada announced a formal apology for historical discrimination against Chinese Canadians. About time, better late than never.
Enceladus: Agreed, acknowledging the past is important for the future.
Enceladus: Last one: U.S. media says Trump cut tariffs on dozens of common agricultural products, like beef, coffee, and fruits. He wants to deal with rising domestic prices. Hmm, trying to lower costs for people, right?
Erinome: Maybe. Let's hope it helps.
Erinome: Okay, that's all the news for today. Thanks for joining us!
Enceladus: Yeah, see you next time! Bye!
Erinome: Bye!
