The contextual adaptation well explains the characteristics of dynamic contextual development in diplomatic escort interpreting. It is helpful for interpreters to understand that the choice-making was constrained by different contexts in diplomatic interpreting. In addition, interpreters should adapt to the various factors of the context thus can make flexible and appropriate choices in delivering target language in order to promote the quality of interpretation and achieve the satisfactory communicative effect.展开更多

Methods: 60 women from January 2020 to February 2021 were randomly divided into 2 groups and 30 in each group;the observation group performed full care measures for midwives in the delivery room and the control group performed routine nursing intervention. Results: the difference between the two groups was not significant, P> 0.05. The labor schedule and clinical delivery indicators in the observation group were better than the control group, P <0.05. Conclusion: the delivery midwife can reduce the incidence of postpartum bleeding.展开更多

Four Chinese cargo vessels, including one from Hong Kong, were the first to be escorted by Chinese warships. The fleet, consisting of two destroyers and one supply ship, will protect Chinese and foreign vessels passing through the area on request and without charge for a three-month period. The fleet will also help ships carrying humanitarian relief for international organizations. Here cargo ships sail off the coast of Somalia under the escort of destroyer Wuhan (first left) of the Chinese Navy.展开更多
