> Birthday depression: Why birthdays are so hard
“生日回避型人格”沖上熱搜 引發討論與共鳴

Not everyone is excited about birthdays. There are many people out there who never feel excited about it. They find the day as normal as any other day. Nothing in their routine changes in the name of celebration.
并非所有人都熱愛過生日，很多人甚至從未因此激動過，生日對他們而言就如同往常一樣，并沒有任何稀奇之處。

This may be common in those who are in their 50’s or late 50’s, 60’s, 70’s...
這可能在那些50多歲、快50歲、60多歲、70多歲的人身上很常見......

For some people in this age, life becomes a journey that is going on and on and on at a faster pace.
對這個年齡段的一些人來說，生活變成了一段不斷加速的旅程。

They feel like losing control of their time and every passing year intensifies the fear of dying soon.
他們感覺失去了對時間的控制，每過一年就會加劇對死亡的恐懼。

This is not good as it stimulates negativity.
然而，這并不好，因為它會刺激消極情緒。

But some people do so and they can’t help it.
但有些人會情不自禁地這樣想。

Their birthday is nothing more than bad news for them.
他們的生日對他們來說就是個壞消息。

Some people do not like to come to the notice of others due to any possible reason on this earth.
在這個世界上，可能由于各種各樣的原因，有些人不喜歡引起別人的注意。

They just don’t like it.
他們就是不喜歡。

You may feel stunned about this nature but they like to remain as part of the crowd.
你可能會對這種天性感到震驚，但他們喜歡留在人群中。

Birthdays are contrary to this feeling as they bring sudden attention to people.
過生日卻是會突然引起他人注意，與他們想要的感覺截然相反。

There is also another part of the population that thinks it is a waste of money.
還有一部分人認為這是浪費錢。

Their logic is, why lose hard-earned money for the pleasure of three to four hours?
他們的邏輯是:“為什么要為了3、4個小時的快樂而花費辛苦賺來的錢呢？”

> SAI system developed by students helps missing children return home
這群年輕人用AI與愛，點亮失蹤兒童回家的路

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been applied in many fields, and it is now playing an increasingly important role in issues of public interest.
人工智能技術已在許多領域得到應用，在公眾關注的問題上發揮著越來越重要的作用。

A group of students at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in central China's Hubei Province has developed an AI system that restores old photographs to help families find their loved ones who had gone missing 10 to 20 years ago.
位于湖北省的華中科技大學(HUST)的一群學生開發了一種人工智能系統，該系統可以恢復舊照片，幫助家庭找到10到20年前失蹤的親人。

The team was founded by Sheng Jianzhong three years ago, when he was a doctoral student at HUST's School of Software Engineering.
團隊成立于2020年，發起人盛建中當時是華中科技大學軟件學院的博士生。

But the development of an image restoration algorithm requires the construction of a large database, which cannot be completed by one person alone. Many like-minded students soon volunteered to join Sheng's project, writing code and testing algorithms.
不過，研發圖像修復算法需要構建一個龐大的數據庫，光靠一個人的力量遠遠不夠，很多同學看到盛建中做的事情，也主動加入進來，寫代碼，測試算法。

After six months of intensive technological research and development, they produced an image restoration AI algorithm that solved the issue of unclear faces in photographs.
盛建中和團隊花了半年的時間集中攻關，終于研發出一套圖像修復人工智能算法，解決了尋親照片中“人臉不夠清晰”這一核心問題。

A restored image can be generated just minutes after a blurry portrait is entered into the system, significantly improving resolution and the clarity of facial features.
一張模糊的人像圖片輸入系統，幾分鐘后，一張修復好的圖片便自動生成，人像五官清晰度與分辨率有了很大提升。

Parents are then able to print the high-quality images of their missing children onto T-shirts or large posters.
走失兒童的家長可以把孩子的照片打印到衣服上，或者打印成巨幅海報張貼。

The power of technology, specifically a facial comparison algorithm that takes age-related changes and family similarities into account, played a major role in bringing about the happy outcome.
科技的力量，特別是考慮到年齡相關變化和家庭相似性的面部比對技術，幫助多個家庭找到好結果。
