>Man upholds 28-year promise
男子中彩票與好友平分
A western Wisconsin man will share his millions in lottery winnings with a longtime friend because of a promise they made to each other 28 years ago.
美國威斯康辛州西部的一名男子將與多年老友平分他的百萬彩票大獎，這一切都源於兩人28年前的一個約定。
Friends Tom Cook and Joseph Feeney shook hands in 1992 and promised that if either one of them ever won the Powerball jackpot, they would split the money.
湯姆•庫克和約瑟夫•菲尼這對好朋友在1992年彼此約定，如果任何一人中了強力球頭獎，都會將獎金與對方平分。
That promise came to fruition last month when Cook bought the winning ticket for a $22 million jackpot at Synergy Coop in Menomonie, Wis.
這一承諾上月終於得以兌現，庫克在威斯康辛州梅諾莫尼市Synergy Coop購買的強力球彩票竟中了頭獎，獎金2200萬美元。
When Cook called to give his friend the good news, Feeney couldn't quite believe it.
當庫克打電話告訴好友這個好消息時，菲尼感到難以置信。
The men chose the cash option of about $16.7 million, leaving each with nearly $5.7 million after taxes are paid. The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in about 292 million.
兩人決定選擇獲得約1670萬美元的現金獎勵，在支付稅金後他們各自能得到近570萬美元。強力球彩票頭獎的中獎概率約為2.92億分之一。

國產兩棲飛機海上首飛
Kunlong, China's homegrown AG600 large amphibious aircraft, conducted its first sea-based test flight on Sunday morning, marking a new milestone in the program.
7月26日上午，我國自主研製的大型水陸兩棲飛機"鯤龍"AG600成功完成海上首飛，這是該項目的又一里程碑事件。
The AG600 is China's second amphibious aircraft, after the SH-5, which was developed in the 1970s for military purposes and has been retired for a long time.
AG600是繼SH-5後我國第二代的水陸兩棲飛機。SH-5研發於上世紀70年代，用于軍事用途，已退役很長時間。
With a length of 37 meters and a wingspan of 38.8 meters, the AG600 is roughly the size of a Boeing 737.
AG600兩棲飛機長37米，翼展38.8米，尺寸與波音737相當。
Powered by four domestically designed WJ-6 turboprop engines, it has a maximum takeoff weight of 53.5 metric tons.
AG600由四台國產渦槳-6渦輪螺旋槳發動機提供動力，最大起飛重量達53.5噸。
These specifications make it the world's biggest amphibious aircraft, surpassing Japan's ShinMaywa US-2 and Russia's Beriev Be-200.
這些規格使其超過日本的新明US-2和俄羅斯的別-200，成為世界上最大的水陸兩棲飛機。
Once in service, it will put an end to the absence of a large rescue aircraft in China and will be very useful in the national emergency rescue and disaster relief systems.
一旦投入使用，AG600將填補我國大型救援飛機方面的空白，成為國家應急搶險救援救災體系中的重要航空裝備。
