>US government shuts down
美政府机构再一次'关门'
The US government is shutting down as the Senate failed to pass a stopgap spending bill. Negotiations between congressional lawmakers continue. Last-minute negotiations fell apart as Senate Democrats blocked a four-week short-term spending bill in a late night vote. It led to the fourth government shutdown over the past 25 years. The White House accused the Democrats of the shutdown.
由于美国参议院未能通过临时拨款法案，美国政府"关门"。国会议员之间的谈判仍在继续。在一次深夜进行的投票中，由于参议院民主党议员拒绝支持一项为期4周的短期拨款法案，谈判在最后关头破裂。这是美国政府在过去25年来的第4次"关门"。白宫指责民主党导致了这次"关门"。(新华社)

>Virtual boyfriend game
'恋与制作人'游戏刷屏(图)
According to the latest figures, "Love and Producer" not only overtook the smash hit "Honor of Kings" on the Apple store's free download charts, but also replaced it as the most talked about game on Weibo. You take over a family business, a TV production and entertainment company, and while building your empire you develop romances with four possible male suitors. All of them are handsome and in love with you. During the game, you are able to chat with the hotties and even produce a variety show for your virtual "sweetheart". While China's gaming market had long been dominated by men – drawn by the abundance of "virtual girlfriend" apps – the popularity of Love and Producer, which is effectively a "virtual boyfriend" game, was indicative of a changing tide.
最新数据显示，《恋与制作人》不仅在苹果应用商店免费下载量榜单上碾压了红极一时的《王者荣耀》，也取代《王者》成为了微博上讨论度最高的游戏。你从家族接手了一家电视制作和娱乐公司，在将家族产业发扬光大的同时，你还与四个追求者有了情感纠葛。四个人都非常帅，而且都爱你。在游戏里，你可以和帅哥们聊天，甚至可以为你的虚拟"恋人"制作一个综艺节目。中国的游戏市场长期由男性主导，"虚拟女友"应用层出不穷，而《恋与制作人》这个"虚拟男友"游戏的爆红预示着风向的转变。(英语点津网)
