Liuzhou luosifen, a soup dish dubbed by some people as "durian of soup" for its strong smell, originated in Liuzhou, a city in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region. It features rice vermicelli soaked in a spicy broth flavored by river snails and topped with ingredients including pickled bamboo shoots, string beans, peanuts and tofu skin.
螺螄粉，源自中國廣西壯族自治區南部的柳州市，是一種帶湯美食，因氣味濃烈而被稱為“加湯的榴蓮”。其特色是將米粉浸泡在河螺調味的辛辣肉湯中，并加上腌筍、青豆、花生和豆腐皮等配料。
Xinhua reports that the annual sales of river snail rice noodles in more than 20 countries and regions exceeded 10 billion yuan ($1.54 billion) in 2020, while providing over 250,000 jobs across the industrial chain.

The State Council's Work Safety Commission will supervise the investigation of the deadly gas explosion in Central China's Hubei province.
國務院安委會將對湖北省這次燃氣爆炸事故進行掛牌督辦。
【單詞講解】
Blast和explosion均表示“爆炸”，可以替換使用，不過blast除了表示“爆炸”以外，還可以表示“（爆炸產生的）沖擊波；強勁的氣流；一陣...”等，比如：a blast of freezing rain（一陣冷冷的冰雨），a blast of anger（一股怒氣），feel the blast from several miles away（感受到了幾英里之外的沖擊波）。
Together with the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Emergency Management has asked local governments to locate markets and catering businesses that use gas and make sure they all have gas leakage alert systems installed as soon as possible.
應急管理部已聯合住建部等部門推動各地區全面摸排使用燃氣的集貿市場、餐飲等生產經營單位底數，盡快安裝燃氣泄漏報警裝置。
【詞匯講解】
這里的locate表示“to find or discover the exact position of something”，即“找到或確定某物的具體位置”的意思。
A team has been set up to investigate the blast, and Hubei will launch a province-wide blanket inspection to root out potential work safety hazards.
當地已組成事故調查組，湖北省將在全省展開安全大檢查，排除潛在安全隱患。
【詞匯講解】
Blanket這個詞我們最熟悉的意思是“毯子”，比如：an electric blanket（電熱毯），短語a blanket of something指“一層...”，比如： a thick blanket of snow（厚厚的一層雪）。在這里blanket用作形容詞，表示“全面的，綜合的，包括（所有人，所有事）的”，比如： a blanket ban on smoking（全面禁煙令）。
