关于电影《里斯本丸沉没》：1941年二战时期，英国战俘被日军送上“里斯本丸”号商船，1800余人被关押在三个船舱中，在从香港开往日本的途中被美军击沉。幸存者被中国舟山渔民冒着生命危险救起。本片从里斯本丸沉没经过，遗孀的感受等方面向我们揭露了一段被遗忘了八十年的真相。电影《里斯本丸沉没》完全基于历史事实，历时八年创作，打捞一段堙没82年的中国故事。豆瓣影评9.3分，作为2024年度截至目前评分最高的国产院线电影，《里斯本丸沉没》已经代表中国内地报名竞逐奥斯卡最佳国际影片。

This paper investigates the impact of U.S. import tariffs on the household consumption in the United States. Despite its intent to protect income and job opportunities in counties with higher exposure to protectionist measures, our analysis reveals that households in these areas experience reduced consumption levels five quarters after the trade war began, compared to those in less-exposed counties. This trend persists even after accounting for exposure to retaliatory tariffs. The decline in both consumption quantities and prices suggests a demand-driven contraction. Further, the reduction in consumption is closely tied to falling wages. The adverse effects are more pronounced where local firms face increased upstream import costs. Our findings highlight the significance of vertical integration between U.S. and Chinese firms within the same industries targeted by U.S. tariffs. Increased import tariffs do not necessarily benefit domestic firms and may risk local household welfare.

班图语言是尼日尔-刚果语系下包含语言最多、使用人口范围最广的一个语支，绝大部分班图语言缺少历史上的书面文献和记录。本次讲座首先介绍班图语言的基本语法特征以及历史上班图人迁徙和语言接触对现代班图语言地理分布和形态特征的影响；随后对国际学界关于班图语言历史演变的主要已有研究进行简要回顾：如对原始班图语的词汇和语法重构、名词类别系统和一致关系的历时演变、动词黏着语素的语法化、以及社会文化因素对班图语言音系特征变化的影响等问题。本讲座重点通过若干案例介绍分析班图语言历史上的形态句法演变：如关系从句标记循环、从分裂句到焦点结构的语法化路径等现象。讲座的最后探讨在缺乏历史文献记录的情况下，对于班图语言乃至撒哈拉以南非洲其他语言的历史语言学研究在未来发展中可能的方法和方向，如微观特征比较法和形态特征关联模型等方法的应用。

中世纪犹太思想家摩西·迈蒙尼德的《迷途指津》（Dalālat al-ḥāʾirīn）是一部用犹太-阿拉伯语（Judeo-Arabic）写就的论章，此书因作者精心的遣词造句、刻意安排的自相矛盾，以及将各主题散布不同位置的笔法而显得晦涩难解。本次讲座主要考察《迷途指津》的开端（卷一1-2章）和终结（卷三53-54章），并尝试揭示，迈蒙尼德在《迷途指津》头两章对《创世记》1-3章进行的寓意解读为全书定下一个基调：赞扬理智（哲学）并维护律法；而最后两章则完美呼应了头两章，表明慈爱、正义、审判所代表的“道德德性”（第二节）在尊贵程度上低于智慧所代表的“理智德性”。《迷途指津》从头至尾都将理智完善视为人的最高完善，但同时，迈蒙尼德同样强调实践活动在时间上具有更高的优先性。

Abstract: This study investigated the challenges and support for L2 Chinese postgraduate students in their master’s degree (MA) thesis writing. The five participants, currently PhD candidates in applied linguistics, shared their experiences of MA thesis writing. The data include multiple drafts of theses and semi-structured interviews. The findings reveal that these participants went through four kinds of challenges: (1) selecting the research topic and theoretical basis; (2) meeting the high requirements of MA theses, using new research tools, and overcoming linguistic barriers; (3) writing the literature review; and (4) writing the discussion. These challenges were caused by four levels of inner contradictions in activity systems.The main support was provided by their supervisors while the related academic writing courses were not effective as expected. More sources of support came from their fellow students, the assessment panels of the research proposal, and the thesis defense. The analysis illustrated how these participants managed to receive support by interacting with the academic community. Due to the great development of AI, ChatGPT becomes an important tool in writing. The study discusses about the prospects of using AI in academic writing, which brings new challenges and support for both postgraduate students and supervisors. This study is expected to shed light on postgraduate education in general and the sustainable development of individual students and MA programs.
