| No surprise at film festival |
金鸡百花无悬念落幕 |
| The 19th China Golden Rooster and Full Blossom Festival ended Saturday in Jiangyin, a small city on the banks of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province, China News Service reports. Despite the city's large investments in the film festival, it is becoming less popular. Several nominees, such as Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming and Fan Bingbing, did not attend the five-day festival, apparently knowing they would not win any awards. |
中新社报道，为期5天的第十九届金鸡百花电影节周六在长江边的江苏小城江阴落下帷幕，尽管江阴投入了极大的热情和财力物力，但仍旧难挽电影节颓势，周迅、范冰冰、黄晓明等提名奖获得者纷纷缺席，从昨晚的评选结果看，发展至今的百花奖，已成为一场“从开始就能窥到结局”的小把戏。 |
| "The Founding of the Republic" won Best Feature Film. Favorites Chen Kun and Vicki Zhao picked up Best Leading Actor and Actress awards. Feng Xiaogang won Best Director for his 2008 romantic comedy "If You Are the One." Alec Su won Best Supporting Actor for the spy film "The Message," while Xu Qing and Wang Jia were named Best Supporting Actresses. The Best New Artist award was given to Xu Jian for her outstanding performance in "Jing Tian Dong Di." |
电影《建国大业》获得最佳影片，赵薇和陈坤无悬念成为百花奖“帝后”, 冯小刚凭2008年的浪漫喜剧《非诚勿扰》获最佳导演，苏有朋凭借《风声》如愿成为最佳男配角，许晴、王嘉并列获得最佳女配角，徐箭凭借《惊天动地》获得最佳新人奖。 |
| Held in a different city each year, the film festival has become a new method for many cities to promote their image. To host the festival this year, Jiangyin made headlines by raising 50 million yuan from hundreds of sponsors to build a large theatre and an international exhibition center for the main venues. Two three-star hotels were upgraded to five stars, and the main roads were revamped. Not a single yuan came from the city government. |
由于承办地具有很大的流动性，金鸡百花电影节也迅速成为国内某些城市推广城市形象的新手段。为了举办这届电影节，江阴投入达5000万，值得一提的是，江阴市政府没有投入毫厘，所有资金几乎都来自近百家赞助商。江阴还新建了国际会展中心作为颁奖礼的主场馆，并建立了一家大型影城，还将原先的两家三星级酒店的标准升级为五星，主干道也进行了再规划。同时，江阴也将自己的城市广告打进各大媒体头版。 |

兄妹三人的奇妙生日 |
| Michigan housewife Barbara Soper is celebrating the birth of her daughter Cearra on the Oct. 10, 2010. It follows the birth of her son on Sept. 9 last year and her other daughter on Aug. 8, 2008, at the odds of 50 million to one, Daily Telegraph reports. Despite the neat pattern of the children's birthdays, the Sopers insist it was not planned. The Rockford couple's first child arrived exactly on the couple's due date. But the second baby was born with induced labor ahead of the Sept. 20 due date. The latest came early because Soper's doctor wanted to prevent potential health complications. The original due date was Nov. 4. |
英国《每日电讯报》报道，美国密歇根州妇女芭比·索帕的第三个女儿出生在2010年的10月10日，她的大女儿出生在2008年的8月8号，而她的儿子出生在2009年的9月9日。这样的几率在5000万分之1。尽管孩子们的出生时间很巧妙，但是夫妇二人坚称这并不是计划好的。他们的第一个女儿罗克福德如期降生，而第二个孩子则是人工引产，预产期原来为9月20日。在生第三个孩子时，因为担心可能会有并发症，医生建议她早产，而预产期则是11月4日。
