Now, according to the director himself speaking at the PGA Awards on Saturday, those two sequels have release dates.Cameron tells EW, “I am in the process of writing the next two Avatar films now. We are planning to shoot them together and post them together, and we will probably release them not quite back to back, but about a year apart. Christmas ’14 and ’15 is the current plan.” Of course, it’s probably best to take those release dates with a grain of salt, since the first Avatar had several release dates before its December 2009 release. Still, now fans know that they’ll have to wait at least three more years for a return to Pandora.Cameron also notes that we’ll see some familiar faces return. “Basically, if you survived the first film, you get to be in the second film, at least in some form,” say the director. One thing’s for sure: some percentage of the presumably-massive Avatar sequel gross will go to charity. “Fox has partnered with me to donate a chunk of the profits to environmental causes that are at the heart of the Avatar world,” says the director. “I didn’t want to make more Avatar movies without a grander plan in place.”詹姆斯·卡梅隆(James Cameron)最近向《娱乐周刊》(EW)表示，《阿凡达》(Avatar)的两部续集中将会有很多第一部里的老面孔回归。他说：“基本上，只要你在第一集里活了下来，就会在第二部里出现，至少是以某种方式出现。” 此前（去年2月）卡梅隆还透露，由西格妮·韦弗(Sigourney Weaver)扮演的格蕾丝博士并没有死，她也将以某种方式出现在续集里。另外，热衷于环保的卡梅隆还和20世纪福克斯公司商定，将把《阿凡达》续集赚来的票房拿出一部分捐给环保项目。目前卡梅隆正在创作《阿凡达2、3》(Avatar 2&3)的剧本，这两部影片将一同拍摄、一起后期制作，然后分别在2014年12月上映和2015年12月上映。MOSCOW, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- At least 31 people were killed and over 130 were injured in an explosion at Moscow's Domodedovo airport on Monday, the Russian Health Ministry said.The Russian Investigative Committee's Transport Investigative Department has confirmed that an explosion occurred at Domodedovo Airport's luggage reclaim zone at the international arrivals terminal."According to available information, an explosion occurred at Domodedovo's arrivals hall at 16:22 Moscow time (1322 GMT)," a spokeswoman for the investigation committee, Tatyana Morozova, said.The preliminary reports suggest that it might be a suicide bombing, a source told local media.The Health Ministry said among the 130 injured, 20 are in serious condition.Eyewitnesses said there is a heavy smoke at the Moscow airport and the entry from the arrivals zone has been closed.A source said the blast was equivalent to some 5 kg of TNT.Moscow police has tightened the security in the city's other airports and metro system.俄罗斯卫生部长称于周一发生的多莫杰多沃机场爆炸事件中至少31人丧生，130余人受伤。俄罗斯调查委员会交通调查部已经证实此次爆炸发生在机场国际航班到达航站楼的行李回收区。调查委员会的一名发言人声明爆炸发生于莫斯科时间14：22机场到达大厅。有消息称调查初步结果显示此次爆炸未自杀式爆炸。卫生部称在受伤的130人中，20人伤势严重。目击者称当时机场浓烟滚滚，到达区入口也被关闭。一机构称此次爆炸的杀伤力相当于5千克TNT的杀伤力。莫警方已提高了其他机场和地铁系统的安全戒备程度。Americans might like to visit Miami but few of them want to live there, a new poll by Zogby International shows.Only three percent of respondents chose Miami when asked which of eight major U.S. cities they would like to live in.

Hundreds of people have been killed in a massive earthquake in Japan that triggered a devastating tsunami. The quake -- the most powerful to hit Japan in more than 100 years -- caused massive damage and many people are missing and feared dead.The 8.9 magnitude quake struck Friday off Japan's eastern coast, and prompted tsunami warnings across the Pacific as far away as South America and the U.S. West Coast. The Red Cross warned that the 10-meter high tidal wave could wash over some small islands entirely.In Japan, the tsunami swept away boats, cars and hundreds of houses in coastal areas north of Tokyo.The quake shook buildings in the Japanese capital and caused several fires. All train and subway traffic in Tokyo has been stopped, and thousands of people there were unable to get back home.Authorities ordered the evacuation of about 3,000 people from the area around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant north of Tokyo. No radiation leaks were detected, but officials are concerned the reactor's core may overheat due to a system malfunction. A fire was also reported earlier in the turbine building of the Onagawa nuclear plant in Miyagi.Addressing the nation, Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the government would do everything it can to minimize the effects of the disaster.

Chongqing, Chengdu lead wealth distribution reformCHENGDU: Chongqing Municipality and Chengdu, capital of Sichuan Province, have been selected to pilot a project which aims to reduce, and eventually eliminate, the wealth gap between rural and urban areas. A document issued by the country's top economic planner urged the two cities to push forward comprehensive reforms in order to achieve coordinated and balanced development. The reforms will target issues such as household registration, land management, social security and governance. The State Council, or the cabinet, has approved the reform, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said. "The selection of the two pilot cities is necessary to explore a coordinated development model in China," said Yang Weimin, an NDRC official. "The ultimate aim is to ensure that farmers and migrant workers enjoy the same rights, public services and living conditions as urban residents," Yang said. The two cities join Shenzhen in the south, Shanghai's Pudong New Area in the east and Tianjin's Binhai New Area in the north as pilot projects for reform. China has seen rapid economic growth since it launched the reform and opening up policies in 1978. But it has been accompanied by a widening income gap between rural and urban areas. The per capita net income of farmers was 3,587 yuan ($471) last year, while the per capita disposable income of urban residents was 11,759 yuan ($1,515), about 2.3 times more. In Chengdu, the per capita net income of farmers was 4,905 yuan ($645) last year, while urban residents earned 2.6 times more. Chongqing has a population of 31 million, 80 percent of whom live in rural areas, while Chengdu has 11 million, including 6 million rural residents.
