Stonehenge was built to mark the movements of the Sun. The huge stones were placed precisely to line up with the sunrise on the summer solstice and sunset on the winter solstice. 巨石阵是为了标示出太阳的运动轨迹而建造。这些巨石经过精准排列，与夏至日出的方位和冬至日落的方位相对齐。The discovery in the nearby village of Bulford was a much more simple construction. All that's left of it are two pits in the ground, about 120 metres apart, which archaeologists believe held large wooden posts. 而在附近的巴尔福德村发现的这处遗址结构则简单得多。如今，它只剩下了地面上两个相距 120 米的土坑。考古学家们认为，这两个土坑里曾经竖立着大型木柱。The holes were discovered about 10 years ago, but a new analysis examining how the posts were positioned, with the reconstruction of the ancient landscape, sky and horizon, reveals that they accurately lined upwith the Sun on the solstices.这两个土坑早在十年前就已被发现，但一项新的分析通过研究木柱的排列方式，并结合对远古时期地形、天空和地平线的重建，发现它们与夏至和冬至时太阳的位置精确对齐。

Many young Brits are buying binoculars in hopes of encountering one of nature's most physically and audibly beautiful creatures - birds. You might think of birdwatching as an old-fashioned pastime most often enjoyed by the generations before you, but surveys conducted by the RSPB show a 47% increase in participation overall, with an even higher 1,088% surge by Gen Zers. So why do so many young people want to flock to the park to watch birds?许多英国年轻人购买双筒望远镜，希望能邂逅自然界中最美丽、最美丽的生物之一——鸟类。 您可能认为观鸟是您的前几代人最常享受的一种老式消遣，但 RSPB 进行的调查显示，观鸟总体参与度增加了 47%，其中 Z 世代的参与度增幅甚至更高，高达 1,088%。 那么为什么这么多年轻人愿意涌入公园观鸟呢？A group leader at RSPB Bristol highlighted how many students have joined his outings. He mentioned that some who join have 'never been out in their local nature spaces' and 'want to explore'. He added that the diversity of species you can find is impressive 'considering it's so urban' around the city. There is also the rise of a desire to disconnect from technology and go outside, or as Gen Z would call it touch grass, to help with mental health. Research from the University of Surrey has looked at how bird sounds restore attention and even alleviate stress.布里斯托尔皇家鸟类保护协会的一位小组负责人强调了有多少学生参加了他的郊游活动。 他提到，一些加入的人“从未去过当地的自然空间”并且“想要探索”。 他补充说，“考虑到城市周围是如此城市化”，你可以发现的物种多样性令人印象深刻。 人们越来越渴望摆脱科技的束缚，到户外去，或者正如 Z 世代所说的“接触草地”，以帮助心理健康。 萨里大学的研究探讨了鸟叫声如何恢复注意力，甚至缓解压力。Ironically, when interviewed by BBC Bristol, individuals mentioned how phones and social media have actually helped encourage the hype of this hobby. There are now a variety of apps in which you can record a birdsong and have it instantly identified. People also use social media to share knowledge and location for birds. A phenomenon known as 'bioblitzing', a combination of bio and blitzing, has emerged. This is when a walker documents as many birds and other species of animals as they can within a limited amount of time. It has been said to create a safe space in which birdwatchers can get into friendly competitions over who can spot the most! Furthermore, a buzz around the birdwatching hashtag has cultivated humour around turning 30 and entering your 'birdwatching era'.具有讽刺意味的是，在接受 BBC 布里斯托尔采访时，人们提到手机和社交媒体实际上有助于鼓励这种爱好的炒作。 现在有多种应用程序可以让您录制鸟鸣声并立即识别。 人们还使用社交媒体分享鸟类的知识和位置。 一种被称为“生物闪电战”的现象已经出现，它是生物和闪电战的结合。 这是指步行者在有限的时间内记录尽可能多的鸟类和其他动物种类。 据说，它创造了一个安全的空间，观鸟者可以在其中进行友好的竞赛，看看谁能发现最多！ 此外，围绕观鸟主题标签的热潮在 30 岁左右进入“观鸟时代”培养了幽默感。Whether it's the chance to reconnect with nature, improve mental wellbeing, or join a growing online community, birdwatching is no longer seen as a hobby reserved for older generations. Young people are embracing it in record numbers, using both technology and the outdoors to discover the wildlife on their doorstep. From identifying birdsongs with apps to competing in bioblitzing challenges, a modern twist has transformed the pastime into something fresh and accessible. It seems that for Gen Z and young millennials alike, birdwatching has become a hoot.无论是重新接触大自然、改善心理健康还是加入不断发展的在线社区的机会，观鸟不再被视为老一辈人的爱好。 越来越多的年轻人热衷于利用科技和户外活动来探索家门口的野生动物。 从使用应用程序识别鸟鸣声到参加生物闪电战挑战，现代的转变已将这种消遣变成了新鲜且易于理解的东西。 对于 Z 世代和年轻的千禧一代来说，观鸟似乎已经成为一种热门话题。

Researchers at this camp overlooking Greenland's Helheim Glacier have some bad news.俯瞰格陵兰赫尔海姆冰川的营地研究人员带来了一些坏消息。This glacier has retreated more than 10 kilometers or so in the last decade or so, from that position far off and to my left to where you see it today.这条冰川在过去十多年间已退缩了10公里左右，从我左侧远处的位置退到了如今你们所见的地方。It was here in 2018 that researchers captured this footage of large chunks of ice breaking away in a process called calving.2018年，研究人员正是在这里拍摄到了大块冰体断裂脱落的画面，这一过程被称为裂冰作用。Scientists like New York University's David Holland measured and observed climate change. This summer Holland saw record-shattering heat and ice melt.纽约大学的戴维·霍兰德等科学家对气候变化进行了测量和观察。今年夏天霍兰德目睹了破纪录的高温和冰层融化现象。Large glaciers are retreating. We can detect this with satellite, with effectively cameras in space.大型冰川正在消退，我们可以通过卫星，也就是太空中的高效摄像头，观测到这一现象。And we're seeing a very large signal of melt coming from this one particular glacier out in West Antarctica called Thwaites.我们正观测到来自南极洲西部斯维斯冰川发出的非常强烈的融化信号。NASA and the European Space Agency or ESA released the study in December美国国家航空航天局（NASA）和欧洲航天局（ESA）于12月发布了这项研究，showing the Greenland icesheetrapidly melting, having lost nearly four trillion metric tons between 1992 and 2018.研究显示格陵兰冰盖正在迅速融化，在1992年至2018年期间已损失了近4万亿公吨。Holland says a similar fate appears underway in Antarctica.霍兰德说南极洲也出现了类似的情况。That glacier is holding back several other glaciers of the West Antarctic IceSheet.那座冰川阻挡着南极西部冰盖的其他几座冰川。So all told, it is conceivable and not that it will happen but it could happen, that up to 3 meters of global sea level could be unleashed unto us.综上所述，可以想象——虽然并非必然发生但确实存在可能性——全球海平面上升幅度可能高达3米。Cities like Alexandria, Egypt take countermeasures to slow crashing waves because of rising sea levels near ice shelves affect sea levels everywhere.由于冰架附近海平面上升会影响全球海平面，埃及亚历山大等城市采取应对措施以减缓海浪冲击。Warmer waters around retreating glaciers like the one in Antarctica expedite the process.南极洲等地冰川消退，周围水域温度上升，进而加速了这一过程。This glacier is perhaps unstable. It is certainly retreating now at a rapid rate.这座冰川或许不稳定。它现在确实在快速消退。It has raised its stuff to the point of now using physics, mathematics and observation.它已将研究提升至运用物理学、数学和观测的层面。It's actually credible, plausible that this thing could cause a major change in sea level.实际上可信的是，这可能导致海平面发生重大变化。A study published April in the journal Nature showed glaciers worldwide annually lose 369 billion metric tons of snow and ice.《自然》杂志四月发表的一项研究显示，全球冰川每年流失3690亿吨冰雪。The Greenland icesheetalone holds enough water to raise sea level by nearly seven and a half meters. 仅格陵兰冰盖所含的水量就足以使海平面上升近7.5米。

Sibongile Zulu is among the 7.7 million south Africans who are HIV positive.西邦吉莱·祖鲁是770万感染艾滋病毒的南非人中的一员。She takes a cocktail of antiretroviral drugs to suppress the virus.她服用了一组抗逆转录病毒药物来抑制病毒。When south Africa imposed a coronavirus lockdown in March, Zulu lost her job.当南非在3月份实施新冠疫情封锁措施时，祖鲁失去了工作。Weeks later her local clinic began to run short of some medication.几周后，当地的诊所开始出现药物短缺。I think for two months, I was using only one that I was supposed to use two. And if I don't use both of them, it's a big risk and I can get sick.我想有两个月的时间，我只服用了一种药物，而我应该服用两种。如果我不同时服用两种药物，风险很大，我可能会生病。Across the world doctors say the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns will likely hamper the fight against other killer diseases like tuberculosis or TB, malaria and HIV.世界各地的医生表示，新冠疫情大流行以及随后实施的封锁措施可能会阻碍对抗结核病、疟疾和艾滋病等其他致命疾病的斗争。Epidemiologist Dr Salim S. Abdool Karim advises the south African government on the coronavirus and has led research into other infectious diseases in Africa.流行病学家萨利姆·阿卜杜尔·卡里姆博士就新冠疫情为南非政府提供建议，并领导了非洲其他传染病的研究。People are scared to go to healthcare services. We have seen a decline in the number of tests for tuberculosis.人们害怕去医疗服务机构。我们看到结核病检测数量有所下降。We've seen a decline in the number of patients coming in to get their medications.我们已经看到前来取药的患者数量有所下降。So that's of deep concern because it could undo the years of work that it has taken us to get to this point.这让人深感担忧，因为这可能会让我们多年来为达到目前这一阶段所付出的努力付诸东流。TB cases and deaths have fallen year on year in south Africa and many other countries.南非和许多其他国家的结核病病例和死亡人数同比下降。But it remains one of the world's biggest killers with an estimated 1.5 million deaths last year.但它仍是世界上最致命的疾病之一，去年估计有150万人因此丧生。We know there's 50% decrease in TB testing in south Africa at the moment.我们知道，目前南非的结核病检测量下降了50%。So people are not able to go to the clinic or go to hospitals and so on.人们无法前往诊所或医院等等。And they're not being diagnosed with TB, and this means that they can then transmit TB further to other people. So it's just going to sort of snowball.他们没有被诊断出患有结核病，这意味着他们随后可能会将结核病进一步传染给其他人。情况就会像滚雪球一样越来越糟。Malaria deaths in Africa could double in 2020 warn researchers from Imperial College London, unless disrupted services such as mosquito net distribution and malaria treatments are maintained.伦敦帝国理工学院的研究人员警告称，除非蚊帐分发和疟疾治疗等中断的服务得以维持，否则2020年非洲的疟疾死亡人数可能会翻倍。Despite thedireforecasts, Karim says there is opportunity.尽管预测情况严峻，但卡里姆表示仍存在机遇。The opportunity to look at integration, integration between covid, HIV, TB and other conditions.这个机遇在于审视整合，即新冠、艾滋病、结核病和其他疾病之间的整合。So that when we are investing for our coronavirus vigilance, we are benefiting not just the covid epidemic, but the epidemics of HIV and TB as well.当我们为应对新冠病毒保持警惕而投入资源时，受益的不仅是新冠疫情防控，还有艾滋病和结核病的防控。The global community must look at the bigger picture, says McQuaid.麦奎德说，国际社会必须着眼大局。We start to lose gains that we've been making in recent years, hard-fought gains that we've made.我们开始失去近年来取得的成果，那些我们经过艰苦努力才取得的成果。And we could be pushed back five, ten, twenty years even.我们的成果甚至会倒退五年、十年、二十年。Huge resources have been dedicated to the fight against the coronavirus.大量资源被用于抗击冠状病毒。Doctors say it's vital that other deadly diseases are not neglected.医生表示，至关重要的是不能忽视其他致命疾病。

A busy summer of space travel came to a soft splashing end this week for astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley.对于宇航员鲍勃·本肯和道格·赫尔利来说，他们忙碌的夏季太空旅行在本周以柔和的溅落着陆画上了句号。It was the first splashdown by US astronauts in 45 years.这是美国宇航员45年来首次溅落着陆。As we descended through the atmosphere, the thrusters were firing almost continuously.当我们穿过大气层下降时，推进器几乎一直在点火。And I think this the sound that makes, I did record some audio of it, but it doesn't sound like a machine, it sounds like an animal.我认为这是它发出的声音，我确实录下了一些音频，但听起来不像机器发出的，倒像是动物发出的。The reentry is a fairly dynamic event and you can see from you know just an overall view of the capsule that reentry is a pretty demanding environment, you know with the different scorches on the vehicle and the windows were not spared any of that.再入大气层是一个相当动态的事件，从太空舱的整体情况来看，再入大气层是一个相当严苛的环境，飞行器上有不同的烧灼痕迹，舷窗也未能幸免。The two rode a SpaceX Dragon capsule to the ISS and back, marking the first such journey aboard a privately built and owned craft in the space station's 20-year history.两人乘坐太空探索技术公司（SpaceX）的“龙”飞船前往国际空间站并返回，这标志着在国际空间站20年的历史中，首次有人员搭乘私人建造和拥有的航天器完成此类太空之旅。The mission's success means another SpaceX crew launch could happen as early as next month with possible tourist flights next year.此次任务的成功意味着SpaceX公司可能最早在下个月再次进行载人发射，明年还有可能开展旅游飞行。Also this week from Cape Canaveral in Florida, NASA launched Perseverance, its most elaborate life-seeking Mars rover.同样在本周，美国国家航空航天局（NASA）从佛罗里达州的卡纳维拉尔角发射了“毅力号”，这是其最精密的寻找生命的火星车。Research scientist Dr Bethany Ehlmann explains the mission.研究科学家贝尚妮·埃尔曼博士解释了这项任务。We will be able to as before with rovers drive up to rocks, investigate them, figure out which ones are the most interesting.我们将能够像以前一样，用火星车开到岩石旁，对它们进行研究，找出哪些是最有趣的。But this time we'll be able to then core a piece of that rock out into a sample about the size of a piece of chalk.但这次我们将能够从那块岩石中取出一块大约粉笔大小的样本。Stony Brook University professor Scott McLennan says, to best study the samples collected by Perseverance, the rocks must land back on earth.石溪大学教授斯科特·麦克伦南表示，为了对“毅力号”收集的样本进行最佳研究，这些岩石必须被送回地球。They're the gift that keeps on giving because the samples will remain.它们是源源不断的馈赠，因为样品会一直留存。Our ability to make measurements will evolve. They will get better and better over time.我们的测量能力将不断发展。随着时间的推移，它们会变得越来越精确。And we can always go back and revisit those samples that we've brought back to earth.我们总是可以回去重新研究那些我们带回地球的样本。Samples may hold clues as to whether life ever existed on the red planet.样本或许蕴藏着线索，能揭示这颗红色星球上是否曾存在生命。NASA and the European Space Agency will join forces to bring them back to earth around 2031.NASA和欧洲航天局将联手在2031年左右把它们带回地球。

The challenge is to treat everyone involved in that call neutrally and not have any predisposed thoughts or…我们面临的挑战是中立地对待电话中的每一个人，并且不要有任何先入为主的想法或……In her film Women In Blue, data official chronicles some of the challenges female police officers face as they help train fellow officers against excessive use of force in the male-dominated Minneapolis police department.在她的电影《蓝衣女性》中，数据官员记录了女警官面临的一些挑战，她们在男性主导的明尼阿波利斯警察局帮助培训同事避免过度使用武力。Officer Alice White is one of the trainers. We interact with people who are rapists, murderers. It's sometimes hard to show respect to someone like that.爱丽丝·怀特警官是训练师之一。 我们和强奸犯、杀人犯打交道。有时候很难对这样的人表示尊重。So in my mind I had to switch this to professionalism. As long as you're being professional, you're gonna look respectful.在我看来，我得把这转变为专业态度。只要保持专业，你就会显得得体。The film echoes findings won as early as the 1970s by the National Police Foundation that female police officers act less aggressively and believe in using less aggression than their male counterparts.这部电影呼应了早在20世纪70年代美国国家警察基金会的研究结果：与男警官相比，女警官的攻击性较低，更少使用武力。I just knew that I wanted to make a film exploring what women could bring in a very troubled time that our country has had with police violence.我只知道我想拍一部电影，探讨在我们国家遭遇警察暴力的艰难时期，女性能够发挥怎样的作用。Hi, do you know why I'm stopping you? You can calm down. I see you're shaking. Just relax, relax, it's all good.你知道我为什么拦下你吗？你可以冷静下来。我看到你在发抖。放轻松，没事的。You can see in that traffic stop that that man that was stopped by Alice had someone who was nurturing and had his well-being at the top and not some law enforcement.你可以从那次交通拦截中看出，被爱丽丝拦下的那名男子，身边有一位关心他、将他安危置于首位的人，而非仅仅是执法者。But the film also shows women remaining sidelined making up only 16 percent of the Minneapolis police department.但电影也显示女性仍处于边缘地位，仅占明尼阿波利斯警察局的16%。The chief has selected no women for his executive team. I have a great deal of respect for chief Rondo.警官没有为他的团队挑选任何女性。我很尊敬隆多队长，But the thing that hurt me the most was the fact that in a profession dominated by male voices, they're losing any female perspective.但最让我痛心的是，在一个由男性主导的行业里，他们正在失去任何女性视角。In Seattle, police chief Carmen Best says her department's recruitment ads are designed to attract more women to the force.在西雅图，警察局长卡门·贝斯特表示，其部门的招聘广告旨在吸引更多女性加入警队。We want to show more women. We want to show women in diverse positions.我们想要展示更多女性。我们想要展示身处不同职位的女性。We want to make sure that it's not always car chases and gunfights and repelling off buildings.我们想确保不总是有汽车追逐、枪战以及从建筑物上速降这些情节。A lot of what we do has nothing to do with brawn, has a lot more to do with brain and skill sets and the ability to empathize and to work with people.我们所做的很多事都与武力无关，而与脑力、技能组合、共情能力以及与人协作的能力密切相关。It's not just that we need more women but we need a lot more women of color.我们不仅需要更多女性，而且需要更多有色人种女性。I think that's where our police departments could potentially transform.我认为这就是我们警察部门可能进行转变的地方。I got assigned to become a sergeant and then fourth president.我被任命为中士，后来成为了第四任主席。Her film shows only a few African-American female officers like Alice White rising through the ranks.她的电影只展现了像爱丽丝·怀特这样少数几位非裔美国女警官逐步晋升的情况。It's important for the black community to see women who look like me in this role.对于黑人社区来说，看到像我这样的女性担任这一角色很重要。Chief Best relates her own experience rising through the ranks.贝斯特警长讲述了她自己逐步晋升的经历。Some folks while super supportive, others were not, maybe you know, and there was always working through that.有些人非常支持她，而有些人则不然，也许总需要去应对这些情况。My resolve was, that's their problem, not mine. I'm here to do my job. I'm going to do it to the best of my ability.我的解决办法是，那是他们的问题，不是我的问题。我来这里是为了完成我的工作。我会尽我所能把工作做好。And I really believe that as you move up, you have to lift up and bring others along with you. 我真的相信，当你不断晋升时，你必须提携他人，带着他们一起前进。

You never know when at any second something might happen that you might need it. That's the point.你永远不知道什么时候会发生一些事让你用到枪。这才是重点。It's not that you think it's going to. It's that you recognize the possibility that it can.不是说你认为它会发生，而是你必须意识到，有需要用到枪的可能性。You recognize the possibility that there are evil people in the world who do evil things and you have to be able to protect yourself against that.你要认识到世界上存在作恶之人这种可能性，而且你必须有能力保护自己免受其害。I think I'm an average gun owner because, I mean, I'm an average guy.我想我是个普通的持枪人，因为我就是个普通人。I mean, there's nothing really special about me. From an early age, Dad would go out hunting, I went with him.我并没有什么特别之处。从很小的时候，爸爸就会带我一起去打猎。You know, I was always in the woods with him shooting and you know, at the range shooting, and, you know, that's just, it was a way of life.我总是和他一起在树林里射击，有时候也在靶场练枪，这只是一种生活方式。We're going to the Minerva Sportsman's Club, a local range that I'm a member of.我们要去密涅瓦运动员俱乐部，这是一个我加入的本地射击场。This is my AR-15 pistol, Hungarian AK-47, Marlin Model 60-22 rifle, Heritage Rough Rider, the U.S.-made rifle that's kind of a cross between an AK-47 and an AR-15, Spanish police pistol, SKS rifle, little Taurus TX-22, Ruger Mini-14.这是我的AR-15手枪，匈牙利AK-47，马林60-22型步枪、Heritage左轮手枪、介于AK-47和AR-15之间的美国产步枪、西班牙警用手枪，SKS步枪、陶鲁斯TX-22手枪、鲁格Mini-14步枪。I own more than a dozen firearms and less than I want. Well, for several different reasons.我有十几把枪，但我还想要更多。原因有很多。Like any other tool, specific firearms are for specific purposes.就像其他工具一样，特定的枪支针对特定的目的。I have rifles that are just simply, strictly for accuracy to try to put holes in a piece of paper far away. I have firearms for hunting.我买步枪纯粹是为了追求精准度，让我能在远处击穿靶纸。我有用于狩猎的枪支。The majority of my firearms though are for defensive purposes. Over a period of years, that's what most people do.不过，我的大部分枪支都是用于自卫的。多年来，大多数人都是这么做的。They get one here, then they get one there, then they get another one. Sometimes they tell their wife, sometimes they don't.他们逛完这家武器商店又去另一家，然后又买了一把。有时他们会告诉妻子，有时候不会。Sometimes they just, 'Oh no, I've had that one for a while. Yeah, don't you remember I bought that back then?' That's right.有时他们只是说：“这把枪我买了有一段时间了。你不记我什么时候买的吗？”没错。So, this is Jason Spoon. He's a friend of mine and a firearms instructor.这是杰森·斯波恩。他是我的朋友，也是一名枪械教练。His family runs the local gun shop here in town. What'd you bring with us today? I brought a duty pistol and a Henry Golden Boy. Nice. Classic.他的家人在镇上经营着当地的枪支店。你今天带了什么来？我带了一把值勤手枪和一把亨利金童步枪。不错，很经典。I think between all of us, we have some pretty good representations of what kind of stuff people own around here.我想看看我们两人的枪， 你就能知道这附近的人都有什么枪了，他们有的我们都有。Alright, let's go get some targets. It's wonderful if you're a duck.来打两枪吧。如果你是只鸭子那就好了。It's a horrible downpour but, you know, I don't really mind shooting at it once in a while because you can't always pick when you might have to shoot. 这雨下得可真大，但我并不介意偶尔在大雨中射击，因为在真正需要开枪的时候，你可没有那么多选择。

It's never been easy for fishermen in England's southwest to make a living, but now they face a competitor: around 200,000 octopuses, probably coming from the Mediterranean. Climate change is blamed for this migration, and the animals are apparently gobbling up the crab, lobster and other marine life which many fishermen depend on.对英格兰西南部的渔民来说，谋生从来都不容易，而如今他们面临新的 “竞争对手”——大约 20 万只可能来自地中海的章鱼。人们将这次章鱼迁徙归咎于气候变化。而这些动物似乎正在大量吞食螃蟹、龙虾以及其它渔民赖以谋生的海洋生物。A report published on Monday found octopuses spotted further north and in Wales, and said fishermen are having to adapt, hunting for the octopuses themselves. One market town recently saw 100 tonnes of octopus sold in a single day.一份周一发布的报告指出，在更北部的地区以及威尔士也发现了章鱼的身影。报告还提到，渔民正被迫调整策略，开始转而捕捞章鱼。最近，一个集镇甚至在一天之内售出了 100 吨章鱼。

Around the world, summers are getting hotter. Day and night temperatures are increasing. What impact could that be having on how we sleep?在世界各地，夏季越来越热。 白天和晚上的气温都在升高。 这会对我们的睡眠产生什么影响？Temperature and sleep are closely linked. Typically, our bodies cool themselves down before we sleep. One of the main ways that we do this is by widening blood vessels near the skin to allow heat to dissipate. In hot weather, this process becomes less effective as it is more difficult for heat to be transferred. One of the body's mechanisms to speed up this process is by allowing sweat to evaporate. However, in humid conditions it's harder for evaporation to take place. If the body is unable to cool down, then it's more difficult for people to fall asleep and more likely that sleep patterns can be disrupted.温度和睡眠密切相关。 通常，我们的身体会在睡觉前自行降温。 我们做到这一点的主要方法之一是加宽皮肤附近的血管，以便热量散发。 在炎热的天气里，这个过程变得不太有效，因为热量更难以传递。 身体加速这一过程的机制之一是让汗水蒸发。 然而，在潮湿的条件下，蒸发更难发生。 如果身体无法降温，那么人们就更难入睡，而且睡眠模式更有可能被打乱。This means that it's important for us to try to manage the temperature of the environment that we sleep in. While it can be costly, air conditioning is a useful tool to keep our sleeping environment cool. Managing ventilation is also important. During the hottest hours of the day keeping windows and curtains closed can stop hot air and heat from sunlight entering our homes. At night, once the temperature has dropped, opening windows can allow cool air to come in and reduce the temperature in our homes. Fans can help to speed up cooling, as long as air temperatures are low enough. They become less effective in hotter conditions.这意味着我们必须设法管理睡眠环境的温度。虽然成本可能很高，但空调是保持睡眠环境凉爽的有用工具。 管理通风也很重要。 在一天中最热的时候，关闭窗户和窗帘可以阻止热空气和阳光产生的热量进入我们的家。 晚上，气温下降后，打开窗户可以让冷空气进来，降低家里的温度。 只要气温足够低，风扇就可以帮助加速冷却。 在较热的条件下，它们的效率会降低。It's not just rooms that we can cool down. Using breathable bedding and sleepwear makes it easier for our bodies to regulate temperature. While it may seem counter-intuitive, it can be beneficial to have a warm bath or shower before sleep. Warm water can cause more blood to flow to our skin. Once you get out of the bath or shower, this means that you cool down more quickly. Another tip suggested by sleep experts Kevin Morgan and Lisa Artis is to cool your socks in the fridge and then put them on before going to sleep. They also say that it's important to try to keep to your usual sleep routine to avoid disruption to your sleep habits.我们不仅仅可以给房间降温。 使用透气的床上用品和睡衣可以让我们的身体更容易调节温度。 虽然这似乎有悖常理，但睡前洗个热水澡或淋浴可能是有益的。 温水可以使更多的血液流向我们的皮肤。 一旦您离开浴缸或淋浴，这意味着您会更快冷却。 睡眠专家凯文·摩根和丽莎·阿蒂斯建议的另一个建议是将袜子放入冰箱中冷却，然后在睡觉前穿上。 他们还表示，尽量保持平常的睡眠习惯很重要，以避免扰乱您的睡眠习惯。

So it's a 3D-printed cowl or helmet. It's like a mask basically but it's specifically designed and tailored to fit my face exactly.这是一个3D打印的头罩或头盔。它基本上就像一个面罩，但它是专门设计并量身定做，以完全贴合我的脸型。Because of that, it's kind of difficult to get on because it is a rigid, hard plastic.因为它是一种坚硬的塑料制成的，所以很难戴上。But the amount of time that it takes to make something like this is, and cost even is far superior than it would be to sculpting it, molding it, casting it.但是制作一个这样的面具要花费的时间和成本，都比雕刻、塑形、铸造要高得多。We are cosplayers. We are comic book nerds and fans of comic book culture and everything like that. So we are naturally inclined to craft things and creativity.我们是角色扮演者。我们是漫画书虫和漫画文化的粉丝。我们自然就很喜欢手工制作和创意发挥。That led me to a job at the Long Beach Public Library teaching 3D design and 3D printing, which led me to purchasing one, which I've used to make costumes and props and things like that for cosplay.那让我在长滩公共图书馆找到了一份工作，教授3D设计和3D打印，然后我就买了一个3D打印机，用来制作角色扮演所需的服装、道具之类的东西。We have a lot of friends in the medical field and stuff and just, "What can we do to help instead of just sitting at home watching Netflix?" although, if you are home, watching Netflix, great, do that. Stay there.我们在医学领域有很多朋友，然后就在想，“除了宅在家里看网飞剧，我们能怎么帮助你们？”不过如果你确实在家看网飞剧，那也不错，就这么待着吧。This is what we've done in one week on two machines. With the masks, they are done in three pieces. There is the front nose part.这是我们在一周内用两台机器完成的工作。这些面罩由三个部分组成。 这是前鼻部分。There's the inside. There's like a shield and in between that is the four layers of MERV-13 filters.这边是里侧。里侧有一个像防护罩一样的东西，打开之后，中间是四层MERV-13过滤网。With COVID-19, everyone's, you know, needs help on the respirators or the ventilator machines.由于新冠肺炎，每个人都需要呼吸器或呼吸机的帮助。This is a way that two people can use one machine now.用这个东西，两个人就可以共用一台呼吸机。So, it splits off, kind of like, you know, back in the day, you had for Walkman and you could let two people could listen to it at the same time. So, two people can use one machine now.这中间是分叉的，有点像以前的随身听，可以让两个人同时听音乐。现在两个人可以共用一台设备了。So, we're just basically going to the friends that we know, the people who are actually doing the jobs right now and just reaching out to them first because that's easier.我们基本上就是要联系我们认识的朋友，那些目前正在从事相关工作的人，并且先和他们取得联系，因为这样更容易些。There is a gray area and we talked about this before, where hospitals are not supposed to accept anything from a non-medical professional.我们之前讨论过一个灰色地带，那就是医院不可以接受非医学专业人士的任何物品。However, they have been reaching out to other people because they just need anything rather than nothing.但是，医生正在向其他人求助，因为他们的物资已经不够了，什么都得拿来用。And that's why we are kind of trying to go out of our way to make sure that these things are able to withstand the processes that they would go through for sanitization.这就是为什么我们想方设法确保这些面罩能够经受住消毒的过程。So, we've switched to these ones here, which are the high heat plastic.我们把材料换成了这种高热量的塑料。So, they'll melt at a much higher rate, higher temperature. They are a lot sturdier.它们会在更高的温度下以更快的速度融化。它们要坚固得多。They are going to last longer. They can withstand being sanitized over and over and over again.它们将更加持久耐用。它们能够承受反复多次的消毒处理。We have set up an Amazonwish list. So, whatever people buy on there, gets shipped directly and we are just using it.我们已经创建了一个亚马逊心愿单。人们在上面买的任何东西都会直接发货，我们只需使用即可。People get weird about like sending money or things like that. What's it actually going to? And yeah, and we just want to do this.如果直接打钱的话一些人会觉得很奇怪。比如钱到底用来干什么了？我们只是想生产面罩、We are not trying to make anything out of this or whatever. We're just trying to help. 我们不指望能获得什么好处，只是想帮忙。

This statue of the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, who served from 1901 to 1909, depicts Roosevelt on horseback with a native American and a black man standing alongside him.这是美国第26任总统西奥多·罗斯福的雕像，他从1901年到1909年担任总统，雕塑中的罗斯福骑在马上，身旁站着一位美洲原住民和一位黑人。To those who object to it, the statue suggests colonialism and white supremacy.对那些反对它的人来说，这座雕像意味着殖民主义和白人至上主义。It is one of a few statues around New York that protestors want removed, including one of Christopher Columbus.这是纽约周边抗议者希望移除的少数雕像之一，其中包括克里斯托弗·哥伦布的雕像。Christopher Columbus being pedestalized and lionized like that is similar to Roosevelt being on a high horse.克里斯托弗·哥伦布被如此抬高和颂扬，这和罗斯福高高在上的情形类似。And just like he needs to come down off his high horse, we need to take Columbus off of his pedestal, because he doesn't represent what this land was once representative of. This was the island of Manhattan.正如罗斯福需要放下高傲的姿态一样，我们也得把哥伦布从神坛上拉下来，因为他并不代表这片土地曾经所代表的东西。这里曾是曼哈顿岛。I think a lot of people are offended by this because it's sort of like you know, we act like we discovered this country first.我觉得很多人对此感到不满，因为我们表现得好像是我们最先发现了这个国家。There were humans living here for thousands of years, so we didn't discover anything, we took it.几千年来一直有人类在这里生活，所以我们并未发现任何事物，我们只是将其占为己有。However, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, son of the late governor Mario Cuomo, who comes from a well-known New York Italian-American family wants the statue to stay.然而，纽约州州长安德鲁·科莫希望保留这座雕像，他是已故州长马里奥·科莫的儿子，来自纽约著名的意大利裔美国家族。I understand the feelings about Christopher Columbus and some of his acts which nobody would support.我理解人们对克里斯托弗·哥伦布的看法，也理解人们对其一些行为的态度，毕竟没人会支持那些行为。But the statue has come to represent and signify appreciation for the Italian-American contribution to New York.但这座雕像已逐渐象征着对意大利裔美国人对纽约所做贡献的感激之情。So on that, for that reason I supported. New Yorkers themselves, however, feel conflicted on the removal of monuments like these.出于这个原因我表示支持。然而，纽约人自己对于拆除这类纪念碑却感到很矛盾。Any of them I don't care. If you're not for us, you are against us. Gotta go.他们中的任何一个我都不在乎。如果你不支持我们，那你就是反对我们，就得走了。Martin Luther King? We could put him on those. We can start over. Obama? We could start over. Take them all off.马丁·路德·金？我们可以把他放在上面。我们可以重新开始。奥巴马？我们可以重新开始。把他们全部拿掉。I mean, the way America was built regardless was wrong and we gotta start over again.无论如何，美国的建立方式是错误的，我们得重新开始。I think this is an absolutely terrible decision. Having been born in the Soviet Union where statues and the history was rewritten, I am absolutely against these types of decisions.我觉得这绝对是个糟糕的决定。我出生在苏联，那里的雕像和历史曾被改写，我坚决反对这类决定。New York City being the size it is, there are many more statues that will come under the microscope. Should they stay? Or should they go?纽约市规模庞大，还有更多的雕像将受到审视。它们应该保留吗？还是应该被移除？Even before current controversies, New York City's mayor and his wife have been looking at putting up more statues depicting women and people of color.即便在最近的争议发生之前，纽约市市长及其夫人也一直在考虑竖立更多描绘女性和有色人种的雕像。

We felt we were completely empty. Go reserve tickets now and leave him standing there alone on the stage. What do you say?我们感觉自己完全空虚了。现在就去订票，让他一个人站在舞台上。你说呢？Call it the TikTok phenomenon. A call to action on the social network may have contributed to lower than expected turnout at a recent Trump rally.这可以称为TikTok现象，社交网络上的行动号召可能导致近期特朗普集会上的到场人数低于预期。In Nashville, six teenagers organized a march against police brutality that drew a crowd of nearly 10,000.在纳什维尔，六名青少年组织了一场反对警察暴行的游行，吸引了近万人参加。How did they get the word out? Instagram. Today's youth are speaking up using what they know best: social media.他们是如何传播消息的？Instagram。如今的年轻人正运用他们最熟悉的方式发声：社交媒体。I think overall technology has really been a driving force for us, having those things that already connect us and then kind of trying to figure out how we can manipulate these things, how we can use them to our advantage.我认为总体而言，技术确实是推动我们前进的动力，有了那些已经将我们联系起来的事物，然后再去思考我们如何能够操控这些事物，如何利用它们为我们谋利。Here in New York City, Jessica Rosario and her peers have been busy rallying their community around online voter registration.在纽约市，杰西卡·罗萨里奥和同伴们一直忙于围绕在线选民登记动员他们的社区。We wanted to really create a space for digital democracy.我们想要真正为数字民主创造一个空间。Sharing resources and building online coalitions with other like-minded organizations are key.与其他志同道合的组织共享资源和建立在线联盟是关键。There's nothing better than coming together in a group and just really talking about what's necessary and then splitting up and creating those tools so that we could share it out to our communities.没有什么比聚在一起，真正讨论必要之事，然后分头行动去制作那些工具，以便我们能将其分享给我们的社区更好的了。Digital activism isn't new but young people today are making more use of it.数字行动主义并不新鲜，但如今的年轻人正在更多地利用它。Rosario helped create digital toolkits that supporters could use to push for legislative action in the stateSenate.罗萨里奥帮助创建了数字工具包，支持者可以利用这些工具包在州参议院推动立法行动。People could click on it and it would automatically open up their Twitter with like a pre-written tweet that we had created.人们可以点击它，然后它会自动打开他们的推特，显示一条我们预先写好的推文。And just in a second, you could send that. It tags the elected officials, telling them exactly what the legislation name is and why we were demanding it.转眼间，你可以发送它，它会标记出当选官员，明确告知他们立法名称以及我们要求此项立法的原因。Rosario believes the Twitter storm helped result in a section of New York's civil rights law being repealed.罗萨里奥认为，这场推特风暴有助于促使纽约州民权法中的某一条款被废除。We created that in just a matter of I want to say hours to a day.我们仅用了几个小时到一天的时间就完成了那个。Others are repurposing existing platforms like Twitch, a livestreaming site for gamers that recently has become a place to catch protests as they happen on the ground.其他人正在重新利用现有的平台，如Twitch——一个游戏玩家的直播网站，最近已成为实时捕捉地面抗议活动的地方。For 21-year-old Rosario who falls squarely in the Gen Z demographic, they're still in appreciation for old-school technology.对于正好属于Z世代人群的21岁的罗萨里奥来说，他们仍然很欣赏老派技术。Text isn't always the best. If you have a lot to say, you want to hear people's emotions when you're like telling them news. I love phone calls way better than text messages.短信并不总是最好的。如果你有很多话要说，你会希望在告知消息时听到对方的情绪。比起短信，我更喜欢打电话。For these digital natives, getting everyone's attention is all about the online and offline connections.对这些数字原住民来说，吸引所有人的注意力关键在于线上与线下的连接。

For Rear Admiral (Sel.) Putnam Browne and his daughter Francesca, the Navy isn't just a career, it's the family business.对海军少将普特南·布朗和他的女儿弗朗西斯卡来说，海军不仅仅是一份职业，还是家族事业。I definitely think he has a major influence on me whether he meant to or not.我绝对认为他对我有重大影响，无论他是否有意为之。But he taught me so much and I knew that it was the right choice for me because of him.他教会了我很多，我知道这对我来说是因为他而做的正确的选择。Francesca attended the prestigious US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Like her father, she rode on a Navy crew team.弗朗西丝卡曾就读于马里兰州安纳波利斯著名的美国海军学院。和她父亲一样，她曾效力于海军赛艇队。When a sudden hip injury kept her from rowing, Francesca switched to steering a boat as a coxswain for the men's team, making them the team's first-ever father-daughter duo.当弗朗西斯卡突然髋部受伤，无法再划船时，她转而担任男子队的舵手来指挥船只，这使他们成为该队有史以来第一对父女组合。That was another very cool transition because we had this, another shared kind of bond.这是另一个很酷的转变，因为我们有了这种共同的纽带。Francesca sailed her Naval Academy cruise aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, the same ship her father commanded.弗朗西丝卡乘坐亚伯拉罕·林肯号航空母舰在海军学院巡航，就是她父亲指挥的那艘船。So when coronavirus precautions prevented a big Navy graduation last month, Francesca had an idea.当上个月新冠病毒防控措施导致大型海军毕业典礼无法举行时， 弗朗西斯卡有了一个想法。She asked if I would commission her and do it at the Lincoln Memorial since Lincoln means so much to our family.她问我是否可以委托她在林肯纪念堂做这件事，因为林肯号对我们家意义重大。We were the only people there. It was I think 7 a.m.on kind of a rainy day and we stood right in front of Lincoln.那里只有我们几个人。我想当时是早上7点，天还下着雨，我们就站在林肯号的正前方。My dad administered the oath of office. I definitely choked up, maybe a little bit. It was a very heartfelt culmination of events.我的父亲主持了就职宣誓仪式。我肯定是哽咽了，可能有一点。这是一系列事件非常真挚的高潮时刻。The Navy wasn't such a clear-cut path for Lieutenant Commander Megan Isaac, whose dad is a retired Navy admiral.对于父亲是退役海军上将的梅根·艾萨克少校来说，海军生涯并不是一帆风顺的。I had always thought I was gonna be a ballerina. That was my plan.我一直以为我会成为芭蕾舞演员。那是我的计划。But on September 11th of Issac's senior year of high school, her nation was attacked, and her father was stationed at the Pentagon.但在艾萨克高中高年级的9月11日，她的国家遭到了攻击，而她的父亲当时驻扎在五角大楼。That day impacted me so much because someone who had been always a point of stability and assurance in my life, there was a question mark there for a few hours.那天对我影响很大，因为一直是我生命中的安全保证和可靠支柱的那个人，有几个小时都生死未卜。And someone had done that, someone had attacked our country, and I felt for the first time in my life very compelled to do something about it.有人袭击了我们的国家，而我生平第一次感到自己必须为此做些什么。In the following days after 9/11, Issac's father watched with pride and surprise as his daughter applied to attend the Navy's top Academy.在9·11事件后的接下来几天里，艾萨克的父亲既骄傲又惊讶地看着女儿申请进入海军顶级学院。I don't think he believes that I would ever actually be in a navy Academy, and they essentially take all of your personal belongings away.我觉得他不相信我真的会进海军学院，他们拿走了你所有的私人物品。They cut off your hair. I remember just thinking, did I just make the worst decision? What did I just do!他们剪掉了你的头发。我记得我只是在想，我是不是刚刚做出了最糟糕的决定？我刚刚做了什么！And that I feel like it's captured very well in my face in that moment, and my dad's like, it'll be great!我觉得那一刻都写在了我的脸上，我爸爸说太棒了!For me, it was a really rewarding and exciting day because I knew that she was up to the task.对我来说，这真是有意义且令人兴奋的一天，因为我知道她能胜任这项任务。The father-daughter duo has since shared countless Navy experiences throughout Issac's nearly 15 years of service.从那以后，这对父女在艾萨克近15年的服役生涯中分享了无数海军经历。And it turns out the USS Abraham Lincoln isn't just special for the Brownes.事实证明林肯号不仅仅是布朗一家的专利。In 2018 Isaac led the public affairs team of Lincoln, where her father had served 10 years prior as the destroyer squadron commander, and she was able to bring him back aboard.2018年，艾萨克领导了林肯号的公共事务团队，10年前她的父亲曾在该航母上担任驱逐舰中队指挥官，她还能让父亲重返舰上。He wasn't in uniform or it really didn't have any of the authorities. I had the uniform. I had the radio. I knew everyone on the ship.他没穿制服，也没有任何职权。我穿着制服，还带着无线电，船上的每个人我都认识。I'll tell you what I just couldn't have been more pleased and proud of watching my daughter in action. It was great.我跟你说，看到我女儿的表现，我感到无比的高兴和自豪。太棒了。The road hasn't always been easy, but the Navy has given the father and daughter a special bond. Because it's something that only we share.这条路并非总是一帆风顺，但海军让这对父女之间有了一种特殊的情感纽带。因为这是唯有我们共享的经历。There have been several times in my life, where I just have felt like I didn't know where to go, what the right direction was.在我的人生中，有好几次我只是感到迷茫，不知道何去何从，不知道正确的方向是什么。And he's always been the one to listen and make sure that I stayed on the right path.他一直都倾听我说话，确保我走上正确的道路。A path both pairs say was illuminated by their sense of adventure and their desire to serve. 这两对父女说，他们的冒险精神和服务意愿照亮了这条路。

So, here we have me graduating from the police academy. This is my chief at the time. Quite happy to have a gun and abadge.这是我刚从警校毕业时的样子。这是当时的局长。当时拿到警徽和配枪的时候非常高兴。I was working on the bus. We used to wear plain clothes on the bus. And that's me with the general manager. I had just made sergeant.我当时在公交车上工作。以前在公交车上我们都穿便服。这是我和总干事的合影。那时我刚刚晋升警长。I remember being the only African-American female in that group of promotees.我记得自己是那批晋升者中唯一的非裔美国女性。I remember the levels of competitiveness and the gratification that I was able to compete at that level and excel.我记得当时的竞争很激烈，我也很感激，能在那种级别的竞争中脱颖而出。My name is Tracie Simmons and I am a retired Deputy Chief of the Metro Transit Police Department.我叫特蕾西·西蒙斯，是地铁交通警察局的退休副局长。I served there for over 25 years in various capacities. I came up through the ranks and I retired at the rank of Deputy Chief.我在警局里以各种身份工作了25年。我是一步步晋升上来的，退休时已是警局副局长，And I was the first African-American woman to reach that rank at my police agency.我也是第一个在警局里达到这个级别的非裔美国人。It was very intimidating for a young woman, especially a young black woman.这对一个年轻的女性，尤其是年轻的黑人女性来说是非常可怕的。I was in a highly, you know, Anglo workplace with majority male and it was challenging.我当时身处一个以白人和男性为主的工作环境，所以挑战非常大。You had to get in to fit in, to get along and really, you really still weren't a part of. Be clear.你努力去融入，想要与同事好好相处，但是始终不是其中一员。这一点必须要清楚。You know, in the police department, there wasrampantsexism, rampant racism.在警局里，性别歧视和种族主义都是相当猖獗的。There were remarks made in roll calls that, you know, I wouldn't dare repeat.他们在点名的时候会说出一些言论，这些话我至今都不敢重复。And as I was there, because I was there, I got to be a voice for things that needed to change and be different.正因为我在那里听到了，我要为那些需要改变的事情发声。There'll be a certain segment of racism because we come from those same communities.因为很多警察来自同一个群体，所以会有一定程度的种族歧视。Police officers come from those same communities and they bring along with them their belief systems, their worldviews and their cultural experiences.警察来自同样的社区，他们也带着自己的信仰体系、世界观和文化体验。I think it's come to a head. I think there's a lot of things that we get to see now because of technology that has occurred for many, many years.我认为事情已经到了紧要关头。我认为由于科技的发展，我们现在已经可以看清很多事了。And that now it's kind of in our face. We all had an opportunity to see George Floyd, you know, be murdered right on television.现在这就明摆在我们眼前。我们都有机会在电视上看到乔治·弗洛伊德被杀害。I've never seen anything like it in my life and I don't think most Americans have.我这辈子从没见过这样的事，我想大多数美国人也没有见过。I think though, our country is in a breakdown and I think that around police brutality and law enforcement, I would tell the protesters that I support them wholeheartedly.但我认为，我们的国家正处于崩溃之中，我认为在警察暴力执法和执法问题上，我会告诉抗议者们，我全心全意支持他们。I would tell them to be thoughtful and be aware that there are other stories and other spaces. That's just part of the story but it's not the real story.我会告诉他们要深思熟虑，要知道事情有多面性，有多重可能。那只是故事的一部分，但并非真实的故事。It doesn't tell the story of the ten police officers that got killed last week.它没有讲述上周遇害的十名警察的故事。It doesn't tell that story. Or the guy down the street that got shot by other assailants who the police locked up and now they're in jail.它没有讲述那个故事。也没有提及街上那个被其他袭击者开枪打伤的人，警察将这些凶手绳之以法，现在都进了监狱。So, there are a lot of stories here to be told. And so, I'm hopeful.我们有很多需要讲述的故事。因此我也充满希望。I do think that there are definite ways that we can begin to change the culture and we get to just, you know, retire out those that want to hold onto the old ways.我确实认为，我们有明确的方法可以开始改变这种文化，我们要淘汰掉那些想坚持老路的人。It's not like….It's changing. And those that aren't ready to change need to move on. They need to go.现在情况正在发生改变。那些不愿做出改变的人得另谋出路了，他们得让位了。Because he changed not only this country, not only the United States, he changed the world. George Floyd changed the world.因为他不仅改变了美国，他还改变了世界。乔治·弗洛伊德改变了世界。We get to say what legacy George Floyd's death has on us as a people.我们要去讲述乔治·弗洛伊德的死给我们这个民族留下了什么遗产。As long as people feel like it isn't going to die out like all the rest of them, because those four officers will go to jail for a very long time.人们可能会相信这样的悲剧不会再发生到他们身上，因为那四名警官会蹲很久的监狱。But it doesn't mean I feel super safe about my son driving at night. It just doesn't.但我仍然对儿子夜间开车非常不放心，这种情况还没有终结。

We are approximately 11 miles away from Fort Monroe, where the first African-Americans arrived approximately 400 years ago.我们距离门罗堡大约11英里，那里是大约400年前第一批非洲裔美国人抵达的地方。I am Robin Hunt-Crenshaw, the principal here at George P. Phenix Pre-K through 8 school. The school is predominantly African-American.我叫罗宾·亨特·克伦肖，是乔治·P·菲尼克斯学前至八年级学校的校长。这所学校的学生以非裔美国人为主。Today, I will be meeting with 3rd and 4th grade students to discuss the issues of slavery, what they know about slavery.今天，我将与三年级和四年级的学生会面，讨论奴隶制的问题，以及他们对奴隶制的了解。We need to learn about slavery because in the upcoming generations we can't all just believe that this country was always different races combined together.我们需要了解奴隶制，因为在未来的几代人中，我们不能都认为这个国家一直都是不同种族融合在一起的。We have to know what our history was. There was land taken from different races because they were that race.我们必须了解我们的历史。曾有不同种族的土地被夺走，只因为他们属于那个种族。And I don't feel like any of that is right because we're all human beings.我认为这是不对的，因为我们都是人类。Now we're allowed to do stuff that we couldn't do before. We have to know, this is why we're free and this is why we can do this.现在，我们可以做以前做不到的事情。我们必须明白，这就是我们自由的原因，也是我们能这样做的原因。Some people say it was nice back then, but it wasn't always nice.有些人说过去的时光很美好，但并非总是如此。Almost two years ago, in Charlottesville, Virginia, there was people in their cars who was running over people.大约两年前，在弗吉尼亚州的夏洛茨维尔，有人开车撞向人群。Me and my family took a trip and while we were on our way, we were driving in Charlottesville and we had to be very careful.我和家人旅行途径夏洛茨维尔时，必须非常小心。I've seen on the news where a black man was trying to ask for directions and he knocked on a white person's house.我在新闻上看到一个黑人想问路，他敲了白人的房门。The husband, he went and got the gun and chased the black man off. So, I thought that might have been, well, was it because he was black?房间里的丈夫拿起了枪，把那个黑人赶走了。我当时就在想，会不会是因为他是黑人呢？Or did they think he was trying to, like, steal something? And I thought it was really mean.或者他们认为那个黑人想偷东西？我觉得这很刻薄。Black males and females that are getting shot. People are losing their lives and they haven't done anything. So I think we can improve that.黑人男性与女性被射杀。他们什么都没做错就失去了生命。我想我们可以改善这种情况。Like he said, people are, innocent people are getting shot for no reason.正如你说的，那些人是无辜的，他们被无缘无故地射杀。We could change that. There's a whole lot more to be improved. We as Americans have to be united.我们可以改变这一点。还有很多方面有待改进。我们作为美国人必须团结起来。We live in the United States. United means that we're all in this together but people aren't getting treated fairly because people are not doing the right thing and we should all do the right thing because we're in this together. 我们住在美国。“United”意味着要团结一致，但是人们没有得到公平的对待，因为人们没有做正确的事，而我们都应该做正确的事，因为我们同舟共济。

Fans have been gathering across the US, Canada and Mexico, as well as the world's TV screens, to watch the 2026 men's football World Cup kick off. However, experts have been increasingly worried about the effect of summer heat and humidity on the competing players. High levels of both have been predicted for a number of the tournament venues.球迷们聚集在美国、加拿大和墨西哥以及世界各地的电视屏幕上，观看 2026 年男足世界杯的开赛。 然而，专家们越来越担心夏季炎热和潮湿对参赛选手的影响。 预计许多比赛场馆的这两项指标都将达到高水平。Previous competitions held in similar conditions have caused difficulties for players and officials. Assistant referee Humberto Panjoj collapsed during a Copa America game in Kansas City in 2024. In a game in Miami in the same competition, Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo was substituted, complaining of dehydration and dizziness. Players also complained about conditions at the 2025 Club World Cup in the US. Both these competitions were played in cities that feature in the 2026 World Cup. Sports Medicine Australia warns of the dangers of heat exhaustion, heatstroke and dehydration from exercising in hot and humid conditions.此前在类似条件下举行的比赛给球员和官员造成了困难。 助理裁判温贝托·潘乔伊 (Humberto Panjoj) 在 2024 年堪萨斯城举行的美洲杯比赛中晕倒。在迈阿密举行的同一场比赛中，乌拉圭后卫罗纳德·阿劳霍 (Ronald Araujo) 因脱水和头晕而被替换下场。 球员们还抱怨 2025 年美国世俱杯的条件。 这两项比赛均在 2026 年世界杯举办城市举行。 澳大利亚运动医学警告说，在炎热和潮湿的环境下运动可能会导致中暑、中暑和脱水的危险。Experts suggest that the key measure to assess risk from heat and humidity is the wet bulb globe temperature. When we sweat, it usually evaporates, cooling us down. Humid conditions make this process less effective. Wet bulb globe temperature is the minimum temperature achieved after water has evaporated. Many experts suggest that heat can be a problem for athletes if the wet bulb globe temperature is above 28C.专家建议，评估湿热风险的关键指标是湿球温度。 当我们出汗时，它通常会蒸发，使我们降温。 潮湿的条件使这个过程的效率降低。 湿球温度是水蒸发后达到的最低温度。 许多专家建议，如果湿球温度高于 28°C，热量可能会给运动员带来问题。14 out of 16 of the World Cup venues have been forecast to have wet bulb globe temperatures above this level during normal summer afternoons. For this reason, many games have been moved to evening kick offs, and cooling breaks have been scheduled. Additionally, some stadiums have roofs and air-conditioning. However, concerns remain around evening games in Miami and Kansas City, which had been predicted to be hot and humid, and the final in New Jersey, which was scheduled for 3pm. Estimates are based on a normal summer. However, the situation would be considerably worse should there be a heatwave.据预测，在 16 个世界杯场馆中，有 14 个场馆的湿球球温度在正常夏季午后将高于这一水平。 因此，许多比赛已移至晚上开球，并安排了休息时间。 此外，一些体育场有屋顶和空调。 然而，人们仍然对迈阿密和堪萨斯城的晚间比赛以及定于下午 3 点在新泽西举行的决赛感到担忧，比赛预计将炎热潮湿。 估算基于正常夏季。 然而，如果出现热浪，情况会更糟。

European farmers are still counting the cost of last year's drought, which saw plummeting yields of crops like maize and corn.欧洲农民们仍在承受去年那场大旱带来的损失，那场干旱导致玉米和谷物类作物的产量骤降。But France today reported it's already short of water, and the European Environment Agency expects this to become a continent-wide problem. 而就在今天，法国已经报告出现水资源短缺的消息。欧洲环境署预计，这将演变成一个影响整个欧洲大陆的问题。Paradoxically, this will also lead to worse flooding as more water evaporates and then eventually falls back to Earth.看似矛盾的是，干旱还会导致更严重的洪涝，因为更多的水分蒸发后，最终会以降水的形式回到地面。The agency's report also warns there'll be about 60 days each year so hot they're dangerous, and that European healthcare needs to adapt to cope with consequent rises in cardiovascular and respiratory illness.该机构的报告还警告称，未来每年将有大约 60 天的高温达到危险水平；欧洲的医疗系统需要做出调整，以应对随之增加的心血管和呼吸系统疾病。In the longer term, disease carrying insects like the tiger mosquito will thrive in the warmer climate.从长远来看，白纹伊蚊等携带疾病的昆虫将在更温暖的气候中更加活跃并大量繁殖。Predictions like this have previously been dismissed as scaremongering, but climate scientists say the changes are actually happening even faster than they expected.此前，类似的预测曾被斥为危言耸听，但气候科学家们表示，这些变化发生的速度实际上比他们预期的更快。

Aboard this custom adult-sized tricycle called the Hamba, village healthcare worker Pamhidzi Mutunya delivers medical care that may very well save lives.在这辆名为“Hamba”的定制成人三轮车里，乡村医护人员帕姆希齐·穆通亚(Pamhidzi Mutunya)运送着救命的医疗物资。The Hamba made it easier to take patients to and from the hospital.Hamba使接送病人往返医院变得更容易。Now fewer women give birth at home due to lack of transportation like it used to be.现在，由于不像过去那样缺乏交通工具，很少有女性在家分娩了。Mutunya drives an average of four people per day to a health clinic while also picking up medicine for others.穆通亚平均每天载四个人去诊所，同时也为其他人取药。She started using a Hamba last year and says women pay about fifteen dollars a month as a group to lease the ride.她去年开始驾驶Hamba，并提到女性们以团体形式每月支付大约十五美元的租用费。Hamba pilot coordinator Fadzai Mavhuna: Women in the rural areas carry the burden of carrying firewood, going to fetch water to drink and carrying school kids to school.Hamba调度者法德扎伊·马夫胡纳说：农村地区的妇女承担着搬运柴火、取饮用水以及送孩子上学的负担。So as Mobility for Africa, we saw that we need to lessen the burden on women.作为美力非洲组织，我们认识到需要减轻女性的负担。Transportation start-up Mobility for Africa runs the business side of the Hamba. Drivers say the service change their lives.交通初创企业“美力非洲”负责Hamba服务的业务运营。司机们表示，这项服务改变了他们的生活。We used to carry firewood on our heads for two kilometres. Now it's much easier as this tricycle has taken away the burden.我们过去常常头顶着柴火走两公里路。现在轻松多了，因为这辆三轮车帮我们减轻了负担。Reusable batteries charged by the sun power the Hamba and fuel it for one dollar or less. It has a cruising range of about a hundred kilometers.由太阳充电的可重复使用的电池为Hamba提供动力，其运行成本只需一美元或更少。它大约可以行驶一百公里。The project is targeted to rural women, so we have noticed that it's not everyone who can afford to buy it.该项目的目标群体是农村妇女，我们注意到并非每个人都买得起。So we are going to sell it to those who can afford to buy it. But at the same time, we will continually see.我们打算把它卖给那些买得起的人。但与此同时，我们会持续关注。Mobility for Africa is now in the second phase of its pilot project.美力非洲目前正处于其试点项目的第二阶段。The next step is going commercial where the Hamba will sell for 1,500 dollars.下一步是将其商业化，届时Hamba的售价将为1500美元。

Hi, I'm Dr. Aarthi Vemana, co-director of the Pediatric and Adolescent Sleep Center.我是阿尔蒂·韦马纳医生，儿科与青少年睡眠中心的联合主任。The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on everyone's daily lives.新冠肺炎疫情对每个人的日常生活都产生了巨大的影响。Now, we do have more time at home to focus on sleep, but sleep is really difficult in stressful periods.现在，我们确实有更多的时间待在家里专注于睡眠，但在压力大的时期，入睡真的很难。So, I wanted to take a few moments to talk to you guys about having a good sleep schedule and how to maintain that sleep schedule during the quarantine period. Start off by having a good bedtime routine.我想花点时间跟大家聊聊保持良好作息，以及在隔离期间如何维持这种作息。首先要养成一个良好的睡前习惯。And that bedtime routine doesn't have to be anything complicated, but it should be the same few steps done in the same order at the same time every night.睡前安排不必复杂，但每晚都应该在同一时间按照相同的顺序完成相同的几个步骤。This helps your brain realize that it's time to wind down to go to sleep.这会帮助你的大脑意识到是时候放松下来睡觉了。The next morning, make sure that you're waking up around the same time every day and keep yourself on a schedule.第二天早上，确保你每天大约在同一时间起床，并让自己保持规律作息。That schedule should include exercise and that exercise is best done during the daytime, if possible.该时间表应该包括锻炼，如果可能的话，最好在白天进行锻炼。At night, make sure that you're putting your screens away about an hour before you go to bed.晚上，确保在睡前大约一小时就把电子设备收起来。This helps to minimize your blue light exposure and that's important because blue light can trick your brain into thinking that it's daylight outside.这有助于减少你接触蓝光的时间，这很重要，因为蓝光会欺骗你的大脑，让你以为外面还是白天。But more importantly during these stressful COVID-19 times, the content of what we're looking at on the screens can be very stressful and can be very anxiety provoking for young ones.但更重要的是，在充满压力的新冠疫情期间，我们在屏幕上看到的内容可能非常令人紧张，可能会让年轻人非常焦虑。So, instead of using screens, spend some time together as a family.与其使用电子设备，不如一家人一起共度一些时光。Talk about all the good things that have happened during the day and focus on the positive. This will help to distress everyone's brains right before bedtime.聊聊白天发生的所有好事，关注积极的方面。这将有助于在就寝前让大脑放松。If you're still having trouble, reading or guided relaxation is a great option to help focus your brain on something that's not related to COVID-19.如果你仍然有困扰，阅读或引导式放松是个不错的选择，能帮助你的大脑专注于与新冠疫情无关的事情。I hope everyone stays home and that they stay healthy. 希望每个人都待在家里，保持健康。

Thanksgiving Farms is 57 acres. We like to grow a little bit of the odd and unusual. So, we grow pretty much everything.感恩节农场占地57英亩。我们喜欢种植一些稀奇古怪的作物。我们基本上什么都种。The only thing we do not grow is corn. We're ladies. Corn is heavy and we're not picking it. I run the garden center part.我们唯一不种的就是玉米。我们是女士。玉米太重了，我们收不起来。我负责经营园艺中心的部分。I have 20 grow houses full of plants right now. I grow everything from petunias to Calibrachoas to tropical plants.我现在有20个种满植物的大棚。我种植矮牵牛花、百万铃、热带植物等植物。I plant them at a certain time so that they get ready by Mother's Day. Mother's Day is our Christmas in the greenhouse industry.我在特定时间种植它们，以便它们在母亲节前上市。母亲节相当于温室花卉行业的圣诞节。That's when everybody brings their mom out. They get flowers.那时每个人都带着他们的妈妈出来买花。In normal years,we have half of it sold by May 10, and then you sell the rest of it at the end of May and two weeks into June.正常年景时，我们到5月10日会售出一半，然后在五月底和六月的头两周内卖出剩余部分。On a glorious sunny Saturday afternoon in May, we have 75 to 100 cars in our parking lot.五月一个晴朗的星期六下午，我们停车场里有75到100辆车。When I heard about the coronavirus, I went and I turned all my greenhouses down 10 degrees, just to try to get my plants in a holding pattern, because I don't know when I'm going to be able to sell them.当我听说冠状病毒时，我去把所有温室的温度调低了10度，只是想让我的植物生长放缓，因为我不知道什么时候才能把它们卖出去。In danger of losing, besides my sanity and the lining of my stomach. That is a horrible, horrible thing to think about.有失去一切的危险，我吃不下去饭。一想到这个，就觉得可怕极了。I want to be optimistic, but at the end of the day I know realistically a monetary amount, I don't know, a lot. Hundreds of thousands of dollars, a lot.我想保持乐观，但说到底，我只知道开支很大，具体多少我不清楚，反正很多，几十万美元。This gets me through the day. My stomach, that is where my stress went. It went into my stomach. So, I'm living on Coke Zero and Tums right now.我熬过了一天。我从心底感到了压力，胃很难受。我现在就靠零度可乐和抗胃酸咀嚼钙片活着。You do what you got to do. It is a very rare bird that wants to one day go, oh, I want to farm. Pretty sure you have to be born into it.你得做你该做的事。会有人某天突然说“我想务农”可是少之又少。肯定是生来就是农民。To be a farmer, you have to be optimistic. You have to be a gambler. Sometimes, you have a thunderstorm that will wipe your seeds.作为一个农民，你必须乐观。你必须赌上一把。有时候，一场雷暴就会把种子毁于一旦。Sometimes, you get it all the way down and you're two weeks from harvesting your field, and you get a 15-minute hailstorm that totally disintegrates everything.有时，你必须在两周内收割完毕，15分钟的冰雹会把所有东西都毁掉。You just have to go, oh, OK, well let's start over. That's what you got to do or else you will never make it. One day at a time. Yep, that's all you can do.你只能说，我们重新开始。那是你必须做的，否则你永远都做不成。一天一天慢慢来。这就是你能做的全部。Nobody has ever prepared you for a pandemic, ever. So, I'm going to dig in deep.从来没有人让你为疫情做好准备。我要深入挖掘。I'm going to probably stay up many nights trying to figure out how to get through this. But, we will. I will find a way.我可能要熬很多个晚上想办法渡过难关。但是，我们会挺过去的。我会找到办法的。I'm not going to let this take away my identity of something that I have worked on my entire life. I've been in this business since I was five.我不会让这件事夺走我为之奋斗一生的身份。我从五岁就开始做这行了。I am not going to give it up to COVID-19. Believe me. That is not going to take us out. We will find a way. Just getting there is going to be the hard part. 我不会向新冠病毒屈服。相信我，它击不垮我们。我们会找到解决办法的。只是通往成功的道路将充满艰辛。

Virtual reality's immersive experience is a sensation for the eyes and ears.虚拟现实带来的沉浸式体验是一种全新的视听体验。Now Aerobanquets RMX will target your taste buds.现在，Aerobanquets RMX将瞄准了人的味觉。It's one of the first experiments where we are mixing VR and food.这是我们首次将虚拟现实与食物相结合的实验之一。At the James Beard House in New York, Mattia Casalegno has created a VR dining experience that lets guests taste food in a new way.在纽约的詹姆斯·比尔德餐厅，马蒂亚·卡萨雷诺打造了一种虚拟现实用餐体验，让宾客以全新的方式品尝食物。We are so much used to eat with our own eyes, of course. I start to have expectations.当然，我们非常习惯用眼睛去判断食物。看到之后就会产生期待。With this VR experience, guests should expect the unexpected.有了这次虚拟现实体验，客人们将能够预料到以前那些想不到的方面。In virtual reality, the quote unquote food is represented by abstract 3D shapes that correspond to real-life bites prepared on site.在虚拟现实中，所谓的“食物”由抽象的3D形状来呈现，这些形状与现场准备的真实食物相对应。Guests can interact with these virtual shapes and forms, and then literally eat them.客人可以与这些虚拟的形式互动，然后真的把它们吃掉。I think it tastes like the whistle that the wind makes blowing through a door lock on a cold autumn afternoon.我觉得它的味道就像在一个寒冷的秋日午后，风穿过门锁时发出的呼啸声。Actions in the physical world correspond with those in VR via motion tracking cameras in the headset.头戴设备中的运动追踪摄像头使物理世界中的动作与虚拟现实中的动作相对应。We are able to bridge the gap between the virtual world and the real world, and what impact it has when you introduce food into this experience all of a sudden, the virtual world no longer, it felt less virtual.我们能够弥合虚拟世界和现实世界之间的差距，而当你突然将食物引入这种体验时，带来的影响就是，突然之间，虚拟世界给人的感觉不再那么不真实了。Having that like disconnection, but reconnection with food through this digital representation of it, made you kind of like think about flavor and texture and sensation in a different way. A feast for all of the senses. 拥有那种类似断联的感觉，但通过食物的数字呈现与食物重新连接，让你以不同的方式思考味道、口感和感受。一场感官的盛宴。

Julie Kent, formerly a principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre, recalls her last role as Juliet after announcing in 2015 she would no longer perform on stage.朱莉·肯特曾是美国芭蕾舞剧院的首席舞者，她回忆起自己在2015年宣布不再登台表演后出演的最后一个角色——朱丽叶。Thousands came to see the last performance at New York's Lincoln Center.数千人前来观看在纽约林肯中心的最后一场演出。It was the most heartbreaking and beautiful experience that I had to date.这是我到目前为止经历过的最令人心碎却又最美好的体验。It was a huge sense of loss of life that I had known for three decades.在我芭蕾舞事业的三十年历程中，这件事给我带来了巨大的失落感。American Ballet Theater is considered to be one of the best dance companies in the country.美国芭蕾舞剧院被认为是美国最好的舞蹈团之一。Julie Kent has been part of it longer than anyone else, 29 years, and 23 of those 29 years, she was a prima ballerina.朱莉·肯特参与其中的时间比任何人都长，有29年，在这29年里，有23年她都是首席芭蕾舞演员。But despite a live in the stage as a dancer, Kent came back to it, if only in a slightly different role.但尽管肯特曾以舞者的身份活跃于舞台，她还是回到了这个领域，即便只是扮演一个略有不同的角色。In 2016, she came back to DC where she grew up and where she first fell in love with ballet.2016年，她回到了华盛顿特区，那里是她长大的地方，也是她最初爱上芭蕾舞的地方。She became artistic director of the Washington Ballet in the nation's capital.她成为了美国首都华盛顿芭蕾舞团的艺术总监。And her husband Victor Barbie, formerly the American Ballet Theatre principal dancer, helped her in this job as the associate artistic director.她的丈夫维克多·芭比曾是美国芭蕾舞剧院的首席舞者，作为副艺术总监协助她完成这项工作。With Kent at the helm, Washington Ballet has thrived. The number of sold tickets grew and so did the number of sponsors.在肯特的领导下，华盛顿芭蕾舞团蓬勃发展。售出的门票数量增加了，赞助商的数量也增加了。But despite her success, Kent doesn't like to compare Washington Ballet to other dance companies.但尽管取得了成功，肯特并不喜欢将华盛顿芭蕾舞团与其他舞蹈团相提并论。

My name is Eric Morris and I am an avid hunter and outdoorsman.我叫埃里克·莫里斯，是一名狂热的猎人兼户外运动爱好者。I like to hunt because it releases a primal urge that I've always had since I was a child to go out and pursue something.我喜欢打猎，因为它能释放一种我从小就有的原始冲动，即走出去追逐某些东西。Hunting reconnects you with nature and reconnects you with how life used to be back in the day. A lot of people now have got a little softer.狩猎让你与大自然重新建立联系，也让你重新感受过去的生活方式。如今许多人已经变得有些软弱了。They are less independent, less self-sufficient. But hunting allows you to go out and do the things that our ancestors have done for centuries.他们不那么独立，更不能自给自足。但狩猎能让你走出家门，去做我们的祖先几个世纪以来一直在做的事情。We just turned off into paradise. There's not many things better than roaming through the woods, looking with something to hunt.我们刚刚拐进了一片乐土。没有什么比在树林里漫步、寻觅猎物更美妙的事情了。But here we are. And it's just nice being out there. It's relaxing. A lot of times you can get your thoughts together while you're out there hunting.我们到了。在户外感觉真是太好了。它让人放松。很多时候，你可以在外出狩猎时整理思绪。We're gonna park right here. It's already shooting light. We're going to try to see what we can do. There's a process to hunting.我们要把车停在这里。天已经开始亮了。我们要看看能做点什么。打猎是有一套流程的。You just don't go out in the woods and find, you know, the animals and shoot them, you know.你不会直接就在树林里找到动物，然后射杀它们。You have to get up, make sure your gear's prepared, and with me, I look forward to it.你必须站起身来，确保装备准备妥当，我对此充满期待。Hunting does allow you to provide food for yourself, your family, allows you to learn how to survive in the event that you had to.狩猎确实能让你为自己和家人提供食物，还能让你学会在必要时如何生存。Who knows what I may have to fall back on one day? I've got some doe pee in here somewhere that I'm going to use. I may have covered it up.谁知道有一天我可能要依靠什么呢？我这里有一些雌鹿尿，我要用一下，我可能把它们埋起来了。Here we go. That smells nice and rank. The bucks, they love that. They take this from the doe when the doe is in heat and they bottled it.走吧。闻起来又香又臭。雄鹿喜欢这个味道。这是从发情的雌鹿身上提取的，然后被装瓶保存。So, this represents a doe that's ready to breed. We're gonna put this out there to hopefully entice Mr. Big Buck to come in.这个气味就代表着一只准备繁殖的雌鹿。我们要把这个放出来，希望能引诱雄鹿上钩。If we don't take Mr. Big Buck, we'll take Mrs. Big Doe. So, we'll see. I forgot my pistol and a spare mag, just in case.如果无法引诱雄鹿上钩，我们就设法引诱雌鹿。让我们拭目以待。我忘了带手枪和备用弹夹，这是为了以防万一。Whenever you go into the woods, you got to be prepared. You never know what you might run into.无论何时走进树林，你都要做好准备。你永远不会知道你可能会遇到什么状况。Best to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. If one is good, then two is better. 有备无患总好过临渴掘井。准备一个是好的，准备两个则更佳。

It's written in Positive Psychology and Tourism that recreational travel is essential for our happiness, well-being and quality of life. It may also increase creativity by giving people permission to break free of ordinary patterns, helping them to conceptualise new ideas, as studied by American psychologist, JP Guilford. According to the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, those who travel, even more so, travel abroad, tend to be more open, aware and emotionally stable.《积极心理学和旅游》中写道，休闲旅行对于我们的幸福、福祉和生活质量至关重要。 美国心理学家 JP 吉尔福德 (JP Guilford) 的研究表明，它还可以通过允许人们打破常规模式来帮助他们构思新想法，从而提高创造力。 根据《人格与社会心理学杂志》的研究，那些旅行过的人，尤其是出国旅行的人，往往更加开放、有意识、情绪稳定。 But for some, summer is a project. A mood board. A glowing expectation that hangs over the few months making it something to live up to. It can carry a pressure to be optimised and remembered. A Holiday Mental Health Report from 2025 found that nearly 69% of Americans feel pressure to appear happier than they actually are, with many describing events as obligations rather than genuine enjoyment. It was seen that millennials and Gen Z respondents experience a high degree of pressure. So, why is this?但对某些人来说，夏天是一个项目。 情绪板。 几个月来，人们一直怀着强烈的期望，这使得它成为值得实现的事情。 它可能会带来被优化和记住的压力。 一份 2025 年节日心理健康报告发现，近 69% 的美国人感到压力，要表现得比实际更快乐，许多人将这些活动描述为义务，而不是真正的享受。 可以看出，千禧一代和 Z 世代受访者承受着很大的压力。 那么，这是为什么呢？Increasingly, social media plays a role in what we expect summer to be and how we choose to experience it. A study named The Impact of Social Media on the Travel and Tourism Industry shows that social media can shape how we plan our holidays. Statistics taken from a 2023 online survey of around 3,000 travellers from different countries shows that 75% of people were inspired by social media to travel to a specific destination. 57% were likely to capture content for their social media accounts, and the top motivation for 49% of respondents was to have their holiday in a place that will look great in photos and videos.社交媒体越来越多地影响着我们对夏天的期待以及我们选择如何体验夏天。 一项名为“社交媒体对旅行和旅游业的影响”的研究表明，社交媒体可以影响我们计划假期的方式。 2023 年对来自不同国家的约 3,000 名旅行者进行的在线调查统计显示，75% 的人受到社交媒体的启发前往特定目的地旅行。 57% 的受访者可能会为其社交媒体帐户捕获内容，49% 的受访者的首要动机是在照片和视频中看起来很棒的地方度假。Social media can make travel feel more accessible, especially for people who rely on recommendations rather than traditional travel guides or word-of-mouth. But there is a down-side to this. It's written in How the Intention to Share Can Undermine Enjoyment: Photo-Taking Goals and Evaluation of Experiences, that people who take photos just to share them enjoy experiences less. Their holidays are imagined, curated, and shaped in advance. Sometimes moments are even enhanced or staged. This is due to the pressure to present in a certain way. And, as explained in the same article, we're more likely to feel underwhelmed or even downright disappointed if our reality feels different to how we imagined it photographed through a lens.社交媒体可以让旅行变得更容易，尤其是对于那些依赖推荐而不是传统旅行指南或口碑的人来说。 但这有一个缺点。 《分享的意图如何破坏享受：拍照目标和体验评估》一文中写道，仅仅为了分享而拍照的人会更少享受体验。 他们的假期是提前想象、策划和塑造的。 有时甚至会增强或上演某些时刻。 这是由于以某种方式呈现的压力。 而且，正如同一篇文章中所解释的，如果我们的现实感觉与我们通过镜头拍摄的想象不同，我们更有可能感到不知所措，甚至彻底失望。It can surely be said that, because of social media, we can more easily create itineraries and lists of all the places we want to go. Snapping pictures of pretty places isn't necessarily wrong, but doing so with only the intention to post on social media can make us feel stressed. Social media can be a detriment to travel and make you feel like you have to live up to an expectation of what the perfect summer looks like. But let's not forget the same platforms can inspire exploration and help people discover moments that they might never have found otherwise. 可以肯定地说，有了社交媒体，我们可以更轻松地创建行程并列出我们想去的所有地方。 拍摄美丽地方的照片不一定是错误的，但仅仅为了在社交媒体上发布而这样做会让我们感到压力。 社交媒体可能不利于旅行，让您觉得自己必须辜负对完美夏天的期望。 但我们不要忘记，同样的平台可以激发探索并帮助人们发现他们可能永远不会发现的时刻。

Research shows that 15 years after college, US mothers earn 11% less than women without children and 42% less than fathers. This is called the “motherhood penalty.”研究显示，在大学毕业 15 年后，美国母亲的收入比没有孩子的女性低 11%，比父亲（有孩子的男性）低 42%。这种现象被称为“母职惩罚”（motherhood penalty）。Many women who became mothers told The New York Times that having kids forced them to leave careers or take part-time jobs. Child care was too expensive, and some had children with special needs. One woman said motherhood should come with a warning label. Another said she lost 750,000 dollars in potential earnings. Mothers said they were tired, stressed, and left out of promotions or special projects. While men with kids often advanced, women with kids disappeared from the workplace. Many stopped saving for retirement or lost job benefits like pensions and Social Security. Some felt trapped, dependent on their husbands, or scared for the future. Others couldn't return to work even with degrees and experience. Still, most said having children was worth it. They just didn't expect the financial and emotional cost to be so high.许多成为母亲的女性向《纽约时报》表示，生育孩子迫使她们离开原本的职业，或只能从事兼职工作。育儿成本过于高昂，而有些人的孩子还有特殊照护需求。一位女性说，“成为母亲应该附带一张警示标签。” 另一位则表示，自己因此损失了约 75 万美元的潜在收入。许多母亲表示，她们长期感到疲惫、压力沉重，并且在职场中经常被排除在晋升机会或重要项目之外。相比之下，有孩子的男性往往能够继续获得晋升，而有孩子的女性却逐渐从职场中消失。许多人不得不停止为退休储蓄，或失去了养老金、社会保障等工作福利。有些人感到被现实困住，不得不依赖丈夫生活，或对未来充满担忧；还有一些人即使拥有大学学历和丰富的工作经验，也无法重返职场。尽管如此，大多数受访者仍表示，拥有孩子依然是值得的。只是她们从未预料到，为人母所付出的经济代价和心理压力竟会如此巨大。

The celebrated British artist David Hockney has died at his home in London at the age of 88, just a month before his 89th birthday.英国著名艺术家大卫·霍克尼（David Hockney）在伦敦家中去世，享年 88 岁，距离他 89 岁生日仅一个月。Hockney was widely recognized as one of the most influential figures of the modern era and a key leader of the 1960s pop art movement.霍克尼被公认为现代最具影响力的艺术家之一，也是 20 世纪 60 年代波普艺术运动（Pop Art）的重要代表人物。Throughout his long career, he was a creative genius who loved to experiment with different mediums. He constantly innovated by using traditional paint, photography, and even digital iPads to capture the world around him. Hockney is perhaps best known for his stunning, sun-drenched paintings of swimming pools in California, which explored light, water, and joyful colors. In 2018, one of these iconic pool paintings sold for nearly 70 million pounds at an auction, and set a record for a living artist.在漫长的艺术生涯中，他是一位极具创造力的艺术天才，热衷于尝试各种不同的创作媒介。他不断创新，运用传统绘画、摄影，甚至数字 iPad 来记录和描绘周围的世界。霍克尼最广为人知的作品，或许就是那些充满阳光气息的加州泳池系列画作。这些作品通过对光线、水面和明快色彩的描绘，展现出独特的艺术魅力。2018 年，其中一幅经典的泳池画在拍卖会上以近 7000 万英镑的价格成交，创下了当时在世艺术家作品拍卖价格的最高纪录。He worked hard for four to six hours every single day because drawing gave him a clear purpose, always following his one simple rule: paint the things you love.他每天都会坚持工作四到六个小时，因为绘画赋予了他明确的人生目标。他始终遵循着一条简单的原则：画你所热爱的东西。

The rise of AI influencers is sparking ethical debates.AI 网红（AI Influencer）的崛起正引发一系列伦理争议。AI models like Aitana, with pink hair and thousands of followers, generate significant income from brand endorsements, especially in the beauty and fitness sectors. Although Aitana doesn't exist, her agency in Barcelona makes her appear lifelike through advanced editing techniques. AI influencers appeal to many, especially young people who might not always realize they are unreal. Critics are concerned these AI models promote unrealistic beauty standards, leading young people to compare themselves with digital images of perfection.像拥有粉红色头发、数千名粉丝的 AI 模特 Aitana，凭借品牌代言获得了可观的收入，尤其是在美容和健身领域。尽管 Aitana 并不存在，但她位于巴塞罗那的经纪公司通过先进的图像编辑技术，让她看起来与真人几乎无异。AI 网红对许多人，特别是年轻人，具有很强的吸引力，而他们有时甚至意识不到这些形象是虚构的。批评者担心，这类 AI 模特会宣扬不切实际的审美标准，导致年轻人拿自己与这些完美无瑕的数字形象进行比较。Initially, Aitana's creators tried making more diverse models, but the public response was unfavorable. The agency recently adjusted to this feedback by creating a wider range of models, though female AI models remain in higher demand than male models. Aitana's popularity even led to her endorsement by a car company for an AI assistant project.最初，Aitana 的创作者曾尝试打造更多元化的 AI 模特，但公众反应并不理想。随后，该经纪公司根据反馈进行了调整，推出了更加多样化的 AI 模特形象，不过女性 AI 模特的市场需求仍然高于男性 AI 模特。Aitana 的高人气甚至吸引了一家汽车公司邀请她代言其 AI 助手项目。

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a strict new plan to ban social media sites for children under 16 to protect them online and give kids their childhood back.英国首相基尔·斯塔默（Keir Starmer）宣布了一项严格的新计划，禁止16岁以下儿童使用社交媒体平台，以保护他们的网络安全，并让孩子们重新拥有属于自己的童年。The far-reaching restrictions will completely block under-16s from popular platforms like TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram. Furthermore, the government will impose tough restrictions on gaming and livestreaming services, where strangers can currently contact young children unchecked. Starmer explained that the government already has the power to start this process, with new regulations coming by the end of the year and a full ban starting next spring.这项影响深远的限制措施将全面禁止16岁以下未成年人使用TikTok、Snapchat和Instagram等热门社交平台。此外，政府还将对游戏平台和直播服务实施严格限制，因为目前陌生人仍然可以在这些平台上不受限制地接触年幼儿童。斯塔默表示，政府已经拥有启动这一措施所需的法律权限，相关新法规将在今年年底前出台，而全面禁令将于明年春季正式生效。This decision comes after growing worries about the serious mental health risks and insecurities caused by too much screen time. A huge government consultation received over 116,000 responses, where more than 83% of parents said that online risks heavily outweigh the benefits. While many parents and teachers fully welcome the ban, some psychologists argue there is no real proof it will work.这项决定是在社会各界越来越担忧过度使用电子屏幕会导致严重心理健康问题和不安全感的背景下作出的。一项由政府发起的大规模公众咨询共收到超过11.6万份反馈，其中超过83%的家长认为，网络带来的风险远远超过其益处。尽管许多家长和教师都对这项禁令表示欢迎，但一些心理学家认为，目前并没有确凿证据证明这项措施能够真正发挥作用。

A new report by the European Union Drugs Agency reveals that cocaine use is rising fast across Europe.欧洲联盟毒品管理局（European Union Drugs Agency）最新发布的一份报告显示，可卡因的使用量正在欧洲各地迅速上升。Based on drug residues found in city wastewater. Spanish and Belgian cities recorded the largest samples; the Spanish town of Lleida topped the continent's chart.根据对城市污水中毒品残留物的检测结果，西班牙和比利时的城市检测到了最多的可卡因残留。其中，西班牙城市莱里达（Lleida）的检测结果位居全欧洲首位。Spain has become the main hotspot for the drug, as Barcelona and Lleida saw the steepest increases in consumption. Other growing areas were discovered in Denmark and Slovenia. While wastewater shows where the most drugs are used, a population survey showed that Norway and the Netherlands actually have the highest consumption rates among adults.西班牙已成为可卡因使用最严重的热点地区，其中巴塞罗那（Barcelona）和莱里达（Lleida）的消费量增幅最大。此外，丹麦和斯洛文尼亚也发现了使用量持续增长的趋势。虽然污水检测能够反映哪些地区的毒品使用最为普遍，但一项针对居民的调查显示，挪威和荷兰成年人的可卡因使用率实际上是欧洲最高的。To fight this problem, police are tracking new trafficking routes. Drug gangs are increasingly using smaller ports, drones, and boats to land on remote beaches in Spain and Portugal to avoid detection. A massive police operation recently hit a major route across the ocean, known as the Atlantic Cocaine Highway. 54 people were arrested and 11 tonnes of cocaine seized.为了打击这一问题，警方正在追踪新的毒品走私路线。毒品犯罪集团越来越多地利用小型港口、无人机以及船只，将毒品运送至西班牙和葡萄牙偏远海滩登陆，以躲避执法部门的侦查。最近，一次大规模警方行动成功打击了一条横跨大西洋的重要走私路线——被称为“大西洋可卡因高速公路（Atlantic Cocaine Highway）”。行动中共有54人被捕，并查获了11吨可卡因。

A year ago, Harry Heasman couldn't climb the stairs and had to enter an old age home. But then, the 98-year-old decided he'd like to fulfil a childhood dream. As a teenager during the Second World War, Harry worked in a factory making aircraft[s] used in the D-Day landings. He wondered what it would be like to fly in one of the planes.一年前，哈里·希斯曼还爬不动楼梯，不得不住进养老院。但随后，这位 98 岁的老人决定去实现他童年的梦想。二战期间，还是一名少年的哈里在一家工厂工作，参与制造用于诺曼底登陆的飞机。他一直很好奇，乘坐这样一架飞机飞上蓝天会是什么感觉。On Saturday, after more than eight decades, Harry stopped wondering. The 98-year-old was strapped to the wing of a 1940s biplane as it took to the skies. In doing so, he broke the Guinness World Record for the oldest person ever to complete a wing walk.上周六，在历经了八十多年后，哈里终于不用再好奇了。这位 98 岁的老人被固定在了一架 20 世纪 40 年代的双翼飞机机翼上，随之飞上了蓝天。他也因此打破了吉尼斯世界纪录，成为有史以来完成机翼行走最年长的人。In preparation for the flight, Harry rebuilt his strength with a physiotherapist. He can now walk up the stairs independently again, a feat that came in handy for the wing walk because he had to step up to the top of the plane.为了给这次飞行做准备，哈里在一位理疗师的帮助下恢复了体能。他现在又能独自上下楼梯了，这一恢复成果在机翼行走时派上了用场，因为他必须自己一步步爬到飞机顶部。But Harry has insisted that the focus of the stunt shouldn't be on him.

Isn't yoghurt an ultra-processed, sugar-laden snack that we should avoid buying when we're in the supermarket? The truth is a bit more complicated, and it all depends on the yoghurt. Some do have a high sugar and fat content and offer few other health benefits. But when it comes to yoghurt, they are not the whole story.酸奶不是一种经过超加工、含糖量高的零食，我们在超市时应该避免购买吗？ 事实有点复杂，这一切都取决于酸奶。 有些糖和脂肪含量确实很高，并且几乎没有其他健康益处。 但说到酸奶，它们并不是全部。Let's look at some of the potential benefits. Yoghurt is made by fermenting milk, which produces a number of live bacterial cultures. These helpful bacteria interact with our gut flora and have been associated with better digestive health. It's possible that this could lead to reduced symptoms in people with conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome. It's also been suggested that regularly consuming yoghurt could reduce inflammation and the risk of developing some kinds of bowel cancer. However, many types of yoghurt available in shops are pasteurised, which kills most of the helpful bacteria.让我们看看一些潜在的好处。 酸奶是通过发酵牛奶制成的，发酵牛奶会产生许多活细菌培养物。 这些有益的细菌与我们的肠道菌群相互作用，并与更好的消化健康有关。 这可能会减轻患有肠易激综合症等疾病的人的症状。 还有研究表明，经常饮用酸奶可以减少炎症和患某些肠癌的风险。 然而，商店里出售的许多类型的酸奶都经过巴氏灭菌，这会杀死大部分有益细菌。As well as providing calcium, B vitamins and phosphorus, yoghurt is high in protein. Protein can be important for muscle development, bone strength, and for controlling our appetites. Again, the choice of yoghurt can be important. Strained, Greek-style yoghurt is thicker than regular yoghurt and is particularly high in protein. 200g contains around double the amount of protein found in 200ml of milk.酸奶除了提供钙、B 族维生素和磷外，还富含蛋白质。 蛋白质对于肌肉发育、骨骼强度和控制食欲很重要。 再说一遍，酸奶的选择很重要。 过滤希腊式酸奶比普通酸奶更浓稠，并且蛋白质含量特别高。 200 克牛奶中的蛋白质含量大约是 200 毫升牛奶中的两倍。The effect of fat in yoghurt is more complex. It is high in saturated fat, which could be a risk factor for heart disease. However, some studies suggest that saturated fat from whole milk, can provide beneficial forms of cholesterol, which might protect heart health. However, more research in this area is needed, and current UK government advice is to look for low-fat yoghurt.酸奶中脂肪的作用更为复杂。 它富含饱和脂肪，可能是心脏病的危险因素。 然而，一些研究表明，全脂牛奶中的饱和脂肪可以提供有益形式的胆固醇，这可能会保护心脏健康。 然而，需要在这一领域进行更多研究，目前英国政府的建议是寻找低脂酸奶。There are many potential benefits as long as we choose the right yoghurt. Unsweetened Greek yoghurt that retains live bacteria is likely to be the best choice for our health.只要我们选择合适的酸奶，就有很多潜在的好处。 保留活细菌的不加糖希腊酸奶可能是我们健康的最佳选择。

NASA recently ordered five astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) to take shelter inside their docked SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft.美国国家航空航天局（NASA）近日要求国际空间站（ISS）上的五名宇航员进入已对接的SpaceX“龙”飞船内避难。This safety action was taken while two Russian crew members worked to repair new air leaks in a transfer tunnel of the Russian service module.这一安全措施是在两名俄罗斯宇航员正在修复俄罗斯服务舱转移通道中新出现的空气泄漏时采取的。An expert explained that while the situation was serious enough to prepare for a potential evacuation, it was handled as a standard, practiced safety procedure.一位专家解释称，尽管情况严重到需要准备潜在撤离，但实际上是按照标准的、已演练过的安全程序处理的。The problem is that the ISS is an elderly spacecraft, and some parts have been operating since 1998, well beyond their original design life.问题在于国际空间站已经是一艘“老旧”航天器，其中一些部件自1998年以来一直在运行，远超其原始设计寿命。Over the years, the structure has been stressed, especially when Russian Soyuz spacecraft dock with significant force.多年来，该结构承受了持续压力，尤其是在俄罗斯“联盟号”（Soyuz）飞船以较大冲击力对接时。Although the cracks are not a new problem, the rate of the air leak suddenly increased.尽管裂缝并不是新问题，但空气泄漏的速度却突然增加。If the astronauts had needed to leave the ISS completely, they could have closed the spacecraft's hatch and been safe within a minute.如果宇航员需要完全撤离空间站，他们可以关闭飞船舱门，并在一分钟内进入安全状态。Fortunately, after a few hours of waiting without needing to put on their spacesuits, the repairs were completed, and NASA told the astronauts they could safely return to the station.幸运的是，在等待数小时且无需穿上航天服的情况下，维修工作完成，NASA随后通知宇航员可以安全返回空间站。

Friday the 13th is a date that many people around the world connect with bad luck.“13号星期五”是世界各地许多人认为与厄运相关的一个日期。This idea comes from a superstition, a belief that something can bring good or bad luck even if there is no proof.这种观念来自迷信——即认为某些事物会带来好运或厄运，即使没有任何证据支持。People have long considered both the number 13 and the day Friday unlucky.人们长期以来都认为数字13和星期五这一天是不吉利的。The number 12 is often viewed as complete or balanced, so 13 feels unusual or unlucky in comparison.数字12通常被视为完整或平衡的象征，因此与之相比，13显得不寻常甚至不吉利。That is why some buildings skip the 13th floor, and people avoid making big plans on that date.这也是为什么一些建筑会跳过13层，以及人们会避免在这一天做重要计划。In history, Friday was linked with sad or serious events, such as the crucifixion of Jesus.在历史上，星期五曾与悲伤或重大事件相关，例如耶稣的受难。One famous event that may have contributed to the fear was the arrest of many members of the Knights Templar on Friday, October 13, 1307.一个可能加深这种恐惧的著名事件是：1307年10月13日星期五，许多圣殿骑士团成员被逮捕。Over time, the date became more well-known through books, scary stories, and horror movies.随着时间推移，这一天通过书籍、恐怖故事和恐怖电影变得更加广为人知。Today, some people are afraid of the date, a fear known as paraskevidekatriaphobia.如今，一些人对这一天感到恐惧，这种恐惧被称为“十三号星期五恐惧症”（paraskevidekatriaphobia）。But there is no proof it brings bad luck, many people just treat it like any other day.但并没有证据表明它真的会带来厄运，许多人只是把它当作普通的一天来看待。

The viral internet horror series The Backrooms, created by 20-year-old YouTuber Kane Parsons, has successfully transitioned into a film.由20岁的YouTuber Kane Parsons创作的网络病毒式恐怖系列《The Backrooms》已经成功被改编成电影。Produced by the famous studio A24, the movie has already broken box office records in the UK and Ireland.该电影由知名制片公司A24出品，并已在英国和爱尔兰打破票房纪录。The production was very intense. A small team in Vancouver worked until the very last minute to finish the project.制作过程非常紧张。一支位于温哥华的小团队一直工作到最后一刻才完成该项目。This success highlights a growing trend of digital creators successfully moving into traditional film and TV.这一成功凸显出一个日益增长的趋势：数字内容创作者正在成功进入传统影视行业。YouTube serves as a highly accessible platform for talented filmmakers without large budgets, where they can test their ideas and build a community before scaling up.YouTube为没有大预算的有才华电影创作者提供了一个高度可及的平台，他们可以在这里测试想法并建立社区，然后再扩大规模。For young creators starting online, the best approach is to focus on the art rather than the YouTube algorithm, find a specific niche, and create something unique that doesn't exist yet.对于刚开始在线创作的年轻人来说，最佳方式是专注于艺术本身而不是YouTube算法，找到特定的细分领域，并创造出尚不存在的独特内容。Support from family, such as technical assistance with hardware and data recovery from parents with experience in the tech industry, also plays a key role in these independent beginnings.家庭支持也在这些独立创作的起步阶段发挥着关键作用，例如来自有技术行业经验的父母在硬件和数据恢复方面提供的帮助。The film itself explores unsettling, empty environments that fascinate audiences because they trigger childhood memories, dream logic, and a strange feeling of familiarity.这部电影本身探索了令人不安的空旷环境，这些场景之所以吸引观众，是因为它们触发了童年记忆、梦境逻辑以及一种奇异的熟悉感。The broader Backrooms universe is set to expand even further with more projects planned for the future.更广泛的《Backrooms》宇宙将在未来通过更多项目进一步扩展。

A US judge has dismissed Justin Baldoni's 400-million-dollar defamation lawsuit against Blake Lively.一名美国法官驳回了贾斯汀·巴尔多尼（Justin Baldoni）针对布蕾克·莱弗利（Blake Lively）提起的4亿美元诽谤诉讼。Baldoni claimed Lively wrongly accused him of sexual harassment during the filming of It Ends with Us. However, the judge said Lively's complaint to a California agency was privileged, meaning it was legally protected.巴尔多尼称，莱弗利在拍摄电影《It Ends with Us》期间对他提出了不实的性骚扰指控。然而，法官指出，莱弗利向加州某机构提交的投诉属于“特权信息”，也就是说在法律上受到保护。The judge also dismissed Baldoni's 250-million-dollar lawsuit against The New York Times, which had reported on the conflict.法官还驳回了巴尔多尼针对《纽约时报》（The New York Times）提起的2.5亿美元诉讼，该媒体此前曾报道过这一纠纷。The judge said Baldoni didn't give enough facts to support the claim that Lively and others tried to ruin his reputation on purpose.法官表示，巴尔多尼未提供足够事实来支持其主张，即莱弗利及其他人有意试图破坏他的声誉。He may still file another lawsuit based on their contract. Meanwhile, Lively's lawsuit against Baldoni continues. She is asking for more damages, and a trial is going to take place in 2026.他仍然可能基于双方合同另行提起诉讼。与此同时，莱弗利针对巴尔多尼的诉讼仍在继续，她要求获得更多赔偿，案件预计将在2026年开庭审理。Lively's lawyers called the dismissal a victory. They said Baldoni's lawsuit was a dishonest way to attack her.莱弗利的律师称此次驳回是一次胜利，并表示巴尔多尼的诉讼是对她进行不实攻击的一种手段。The Times also defended its reporting, saying the court supported the freedom of the press to report important stories.《纽约时报》也为其报道进行了辩护，称法院的裁决支持新闻自由，使媒体能够报道重要事件。

People are social creatures who have a deep need for real-world community and connection.人类是社会性生物，对现实世界中的社群归属感和人与人之间的联系有着深层次的需求。However, the modern phone-based childhood, which began in the early 2010s, has shifted young people's social lives online and taken away essential physical bonding experiences such as sharing food, laughter, and touch.然而，自 2010 年代初期开始形成的“以手机为中心的童年”，将年轻人的社交生活转移到了线上，并剥夺了许多建立情感联结所必需的现实互动体验，例如一起分享食物、共同欢笑以及身体接触。Multiple studies show that this shift causes loneliness, anxiety, and depression.多项研究表明，这种转变会导致孤独感、焦虑以及抑郁。Furthermore, the constant use of social media and short videos fragments adolescents' attention systems and causes what young people call brain rot.此外，持续使用社交媒体和短视频会破坏青少年的注意力系统，并导致年轻人所说的“脑腐（brain rot）”现象。Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explains three main principles of techno-skepticism.社会心理学家乔纳森·海特（Jonathan Haidt）提出了“技术怀疑主义”的三项主要原则。First, protect brain development through puberty by raising the age limit for opening social media accounts to 16.第一，通过将开设社交媒体账户的最低年龄提高到 16 岁，来保护青少年在青春期期间的大脑发育。Second, prioritize people and books over screens in education.第二，在教育中，应将人与书籍置于屏幕之上，赋予更高的优先级。Modern classroom research shows that personal devices often impair student learning and lower national test scores.现代课堂研究表明，个人电子设备往往会削弱学生的学习效果，并降低全国性考试成绩。Third, beware of artificial relationships for small children, such as responsive AI toys and chatbots, which can interfere with a child's natural attachment system and affect relationships with their parents.第三，要警惕幼儿与人工关系建立情感依附，例如会互动的 AI 玩具和聊天机器人，因为它们可能干扰儿童自然形成的依恋系统，并影响他们与父母之间的关系。Instead of treating technology as an automatic advantage for the future, companies should show their products are safe before giving them to children.企业不应将科技视为天然有利于未来发展的事物，而应在将产品提供给儿童之前，先证明这些产品是安全的。

In the refined garden designs of Chelsea Flower Show, gnomes are usually a no-no. But this year there'll be a scattering of them around the place, many painted by celebrities.在切尔西花展雅致的庭院设计中，“小矮人” 往往不登大雅之堂。但今年，它们将出现在花展的各个角落，其中许多都由名人亲手彩绘。All the gnomes will be sold off to raise money for the Royal Horticultural Society's campaign for school gardening.所有的小矮人都将被义卖拍卖，所得资金将用于资助皇家园艺协会的校园园艺推广项目。Elsewhere on the 20-acre site, there's a garden from Parkinson's UK, which includes a rose with hardly any scent, a reminder that a loss of smell is an early symptom of the disease. And the King's Foundation Garden, which had creative input from keen gardener Sir David Beckham, contains plenty of the King's favourite flower, the delphinium.在这片占地 20 英亩的展区内别处，有英国帕金森病协会打造的花园，里面种植了一种几乎没有香味的玫瑰，以此提醒人们，嗅觉丧失是该疾病的早期症状。还有国王基金会花园，该花园由园艺爱好者大卫·贝克汉姆爵士提供创意，里面种有大量国王最喜欢的飞燕草。

Whether you've reached work or study burnout, you're going through relationship dramas, or you just feel weighed down by life in general, stress is something that's difficult to avoid. If only there were an easy and free way to alleviate it. Luckily, there is! Breathwork. Breathing is the first and last thing we do on this planet, and it's the simplest way we can alleviate stress and anxiety both immediately and long-term, when done properly. So, how can we reap the benefits?无论您是否已达到工作或学习倦怠、是否正在经历人际关系戏剧，或者您只是感到生活的压力，压力都是难以避免的。 如果有一种简单且免费的方法来缓解它就好了。 幸运的是，有！ 呼吸。 呼吸是我们在这个星球上做的第一件事也是最后一件事，如果做得正确，这是我们可以立即和长期缓解压力和焦虑的最简单方法。 那么，我们怎样才能获得好处呢？It's about slowing down. "We all tend to hyperventilate, breathing too fast and not very effectively," says David Spiegel, professor of psychiatry and behavioural sciences at Stanford University in the US. One way to make our breathing more intentional is a technique called 'cyclic sighing', with a focus on prolonged exhalation. Begin with a deep inhale through your nose. Just when you think you're done, take a short, sharp breath to fully fill the lungs. Then, let out a slow and extended sigh to completely empty your lungs. A 2023 study published in PubMed by Spiegel and colleagues found that just five minutes a day of cyclic sighing improved mood and lowered anxiety.这是关于放慢速度。 美国斯坦福大学精神病学和行为科学教授大卫·斯皮格尔说：“我们都容易换气过度，呼吸太快而且效率不高。” 让我们的呼吸更有意识的一种方法是一种称为“循环叹息”的技术，其重点是延长呼气。 首先通过鼻子深吸气。 当您认为自己已经完成时，进行短促的呼吸，让肺部充满空气。 然后，缓慢而长久地叹一口气，将肺部完全排空。 Spiegel 及其同事于 2023 年在 PubMed 上发表的一项研究发现，每天只需五分钟的周期性叹息即可改善情绪并降低焦虑。For a more advanced method, try 'coherent breathing'. To do this, you want to find a comfortable position, with one hand on your belly, and the other on your chest. Inhale through your nose for about six seconds, making the hand on your belly rise by engaging your diaphragm. Then exhale for the same duration. The key is to keep your breath smooth and continuous. "Imagine your breath as a slow tide coming in and going out," says Guy Fincham, who leads a breathwork research lab at Brighton and Sussex Medical School in the UK. The A52 breath method is similar, except at the end of the exhalation, you hold your breath for a couple of seconds before breathing in again.对于更高级的方法，请尝试“连贯呼吸”。 为此，您需要找到一个舒适的位置，一只手放在腹部，另一只手放在胸部。 通过鼻子吸气约六秒钟，通过接触隔膜使放在腹部的手抬起。 然后呼气同样的时间。 关键是保持呼吸顺畅、连续。 英国布莱顿和苏塞克斯医学院呼吸研究实验室的负责人盖伊·芬查姆（Guy Fincham）说：“把你的呼吸想象成缓慢进出的潮水。” A52 呼吸方法类似，只是在呼气结束时屏住呼吸几秒钟，然后再吸气。Slowing down our breathing works because it relaxes the sympathetic nervous system, which is responsible for the 'fight-or-flight' response and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for the body's 'rest-and-digest' functions. This calms the body. So, whenever you start to feel overwhelmed, remember that you have this easy and instant stress-reliever in your toolkit.放慢呼吸之所以有效，是因为它可以放松负责“战斗或逃跑”反应的交感神经系统，并激活负责身体“休息和消化”功能的副交感神经系统。 这可以使身体平静。 因此，每当您开始感到不知所措时，请记住您的工具箱中有这种简单且即时的缓解压力的方法。

Jesse Williamson is a soldier. In 2009, he is in a dangerous war. A big bomb hits his car. Jesse loses his legs. His friends die in the war.杰西·威廉姆森是一名士兵。2009年，他身处一场危险的战争中。一枚大型炸弹击中了他的车。杰西失去了双腿，他的战友在战争中牺牲。When Jesse comes back home, he is very sad. He cries a lot. He takes drugs to feel better. Then, he goes to a special hospital to get help. In this place, a friend shows him the game of golf. Jesse plays golf every day. It helps him feel good. Golf is a quiet game in nature.杰西回到家后非常悲伤，经常哭泣。他服用药物来让自己感觉好一些。后来，他去了一个特殊的医院寻求帮助。在那里，一位朋友向他介绍了高尔夫运动。杰西每天都打高尔夫，这让他感觉好多了。高尔夫是一项在自然中进行的安静运动。Now, Jesse is happy. He teaches golf to other old soldiers. He has a new team and a new life. Jesse says that golf is like a doctor for his mind.现在，杰西变得快乐起来。他开始教其他退伍老兵打高尔夫。他有了新的团队和新的生活。杰西说，高尔夫就像是他精神上的医生。

Many office workers feel frustrated by meetings that seem pointless. A recent survey shows that the average UK worker spends 27 days a year in such meetings. But improving meetings is possible with the right strategies.许多上班族对那些看似毫无意义的会议感到沮丧。一项最新调查显示，英国普通员工每年平均有27天都耗费在这样的会议中。不过，只要采用合适的策略，会议质量是可以改善的。First, preparation is very important. Whether you are running the meeting or attending, preparing in advance makes the meeting more useful. Chairs should send out an agenda and maybe a starting question. Participants should read the materials and consider what they want to say. Knowing who is in the meeting also helps – chairs should give everyone, both extroverts and introverts, a chance to speak.首先，准备工作非常重要。无论你是会议主持人还是参会者，提前准备都会让会议更有价值。主持人应提前发送议程，甚至可以提出一个开场问题。参会者也应提前阅读材料，并思考自己想要表达的内容。了解参会人员也很重要——主持人应确保每个人都有发言机会，无论是外向者还是内向者。Online meetings offer helpful tools like name tags and hand-raising options, but hybrid meetings (some online, some in person) are less effective if not planned well. Including short breaks and even mindfulness moments can make meetings more productive.线上会议提供了一些有用的工具，例如姓名标识和举手功能，但混合会议（部分在线、部分线下）如果规划不当，效果会较差。加入短暂休息时间，甚至冥想片刻，都可以让会议更高效。Finally, following up with notes and thanking people matters. Good meetings need planning, energy, and a bit of kindness from everyone involved. Meetings are not going away, but with a few smart steps, they can be a lot better.最后，会议后的总结记录以及对参与者表示感谢也很重要。好的会议需要规划、精力，以及所有参与者的一点善意。会议不会消失，但只要采取一些聪明的方法，它们可以变得更好。

A Russian drone crashed into a 10-story residential building in the Romanian city of Galați overnight, and injured a woman and a child. This incident caused great panic among local citizens, who now feel unsafe.一架俄罗斯无人机在夜间坠毁并撞上了罗马尼亚城市Galați的一栋10层住宅楼，造成一名女性和一名儿童受伤。该事件在当地居民中引发了极大恐慌，许多人因此感到不安全。Romania quickly scrambled F-16 fighter jets, and the pilots had permission to shoot, but they couldn't destroy the drone in time. Officials explained that the city is located very close to the Ukrainian border, which gave the military only a few minutes to react. Furthermore, advanced fighter jets like the F-16 are designed for air combat, which makes it very difficult to target small, low-flying, and slow drones. Shooting them down over a large city could also cause dangerous debris to fall on civilians.罗马尼亚迅速出动了F-16 Fighting Falcon战斗机，飞行员也获得了可以开火的授权，但仍未能及时击落该无人机。官方解释称，该城市距离乌克兰边境非常近，军方只有几分钟的反应时间。此外，像F-16这样的先进战斗机主要用于空战，对付体积小、飞行高度低且速度慢的无人机非常困难。而且在大城市上空击落无人机，也可能导致碎片坠落，对平民造成危险。While Moscow denied the drone was Russian, Romania is now urgently demanding more NATO air defense equipment. NATO is taking the situation very seriously, as drone incursions into member states like Latvia and Lithuania are happening more frequently.尽管Moscow方面否认该无人机属于俄罗斯，但罗马尼亚目前正紧急要求获得更多NATO防空装备。北约对此事高度重视，因为类似无人机进入成员国（如拉脱维亚和立陶宛）的事件正变得越来越频繁。

On Friday night, rescuers in Laos successfully evacuated the first of five villagers who had been trapped inside a flooded cave for more than a week.周五晚上，老挝Laos的救援人员成功营救出五名被困在被洪水淹没洞穴中超过一周的村民中的第一人。The men originally entered the cave to search for gold but became trapped when heavy rain caused sudden flash flooding. One villager managed to escape early and informed the authorities. Divers discovered the remaining five men alive on Wednesday, about 300 meters from the cave entrance. Rescue workers provided them with water, soft food, and waterproof blankets to keep them warm.这些男子最初进入洞穴是为了寻找黄金，但由于强降雨引发突发山洪而被困。一名村民成功提前逃出并向当局报告情况。潜水员在周三发现其余五人仍然活着，位置距离洞口约300米。救援人员为他们提供了饮用水、软食以及防水毯以保持体温。While the first man was safely taken for a medical check, the evacuation of the other four was paused for a day. Rescuers are also searching for two additional people who are still missing deeper inside the cave where the water is extremely deep. Some members of the rescue team previously helped save the 12 schoolboys and their football coach from a Thai cave back in 2018.首名获救者已被安全送往医院进行体检，而其余四人的撤离行动则暂时暂停一天。救援人员仍在搜寻另外两名失踪者，他们可能位于洞穴更深处，而那里水位极深、环境极其危险。部分救援队成员此前曾参与2018年在泰国发生的Tham Luang cave rescue 2018行动，当时成功救出了被困洞穴的12名学生和他们的足球教练。

Two people died, and hundreds were arrested in France after Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) won the Champions League.在Paris Saint-Germain（PSG）赢得欧洲冠军联赛后，法国有两人死亡，数百人被逮捕。Following the victory over Inter Milan, riots broke out in several cities. Police reported 491 arrests in Paris alone and over 60 more across the country. Cars were set on fire, fireworks were used, and fights happened between supporters and police. A 17-year-old was stabbed in Dax, and a 23-year-old man died in Paris after a scooter accident. Many people were hurt, including police officers, firefighters, and fans. One officer in Normandy was placed in a coma after a firework accident. Still, most PSG fans celebrated peacefully, and Sunday's parade in Paris passed without major problems. PSG condemned the violence and said true fans show respect.在战胜Inter Milan后，法国多个城市爆发骚乱。警方表示，仅巴黎就有491人被捕，全国其他地区另有60多人被捕。期间有车辆被纵火焚烧、烟花被燃放，支持者与警方之间还发生了冲突。在达克斯（Dax），一名17岁少年遭到刺伤；在巴黎，一名23岁男子因电动踏板车事故身亡。许多人受伤，包括警察、消防员和球迷。诺曼底地区的一名警察因烟花事故陷入昏迷。不过，大多数PSG球迷仍以和平方式庆祝，而周日在巴黎举行的胜利游行也未出现重大问题。PSG谴责了暴力行为，并表示真正的球迷应当保持尊重。The events led to political arguments. Some politicians blamed lawless groups, while others criticized the police. Riot police used tear gas and arrested several people. In another city, a car accident injured a family. Meanwhile, fans also caused disruptions in Munich before the game.这些事件还引发了政治争论。一些政界人士将责任归咎于无法无天的群体，而另一些人则批评警方的处理方式。防暴警察使用了催泪瓦斯，并逮捕了数名人员。在另一座城市，一起交通事故导致一个家庭受伤。与此同时，在比赛开始前，球迷们也曾在Munich制造混乱，影响当地秩序。

Learning a new language can be difficult, especially if you only remember funny, random textbook phrases. To help you improve, there are five effective hacks.学习一门新语言可能很困难，尤其是当你只记得一些有趣但零散的课本句子时。为了帮助你提升语言能力，这里有五个有效的方法。First, skip complicated grammar rules at the beginning and learn the 50 most common phrases. Make them personal; focus on words you will actually use in daily life.首先，一开始不要纠结于复杂的语法规则，而是学习最常用的50个短语。让这些内容与自己相关，重点学习那些你在日常生活中真正会用到的词汇和表达。Second, listen to the language as much as possible through YouTube, radio, or audiobooks, preferably just above your current level. This tunes your ear and helps with pattern recognition.其次，尽可能多地通过 YouTube、广播或有声书来听这门语言，最好选择略高于你当前水平的内容。这能够训练你的听力，并帮助你识别语言模式。Third, practice talking to yourself, your pets, or plants to get comfortable.第三，练习对自己、宠物，甚至植物说话，让自己逐渐适应使用这门语言进行表达。Fourth, relax on the sofa and watch TV shows, movies, or children's programs, and follow social media accounts in your target language to learn real expressions.第四，放松地坐在沙发上观看电视剧、电影或儿童节目，同时关注使用目标语言的社交媒体账号，从中学习真实、自然的表达方式。Fifth, practice with an AI chatbot; it is like a 24/7 tutor that provides a safe space to make mistakes without embarrassment.第五，和 AI 聊天机器人进行练习；它就像一位全天候（24/7）在线的导师，为你提供一个可以放心犯错而不必感到尴尬的学习环境。Remember that language is social, and real conversations with humans are the most important part of becoming fluent.请记住，语言本质上是一种社交工具，而与真人进行真实交流，是达到流利水平最重要的一部分。

Coming up with new ideas and questioning and challenging the ideas of others is how we make sense of the world around us and learn more about it, Paddy Rodgers says.提出新想法并对其他人的想法提出异议和挑战，才是我们解读周遭世界并深入了解它的途径，帕迪·罗杰斯这样说。The man in charge of the 350-year-old Royal Observatory in Greenwich warns that human curiosity is too vital to be satisfied by the quick answers delivered by AI.作为执掌有 350 年历史的格林尼治皇家天文台的人，他警告称好奇心对人类至关重要，绝非人工智能给出的快捷答案所能简单满足的。He's concerned that over-reliance on the tech could leave people more vulnerable to misinformation and society less able to engage with science.令他担忧的是，对科技的过度依赖可能让人们更易受到虚假消息的影响，也令社会更难以接触和理解科学。AI bosses say they believe the technology will soon be able to function at the same level as humans.人工智能行业的 “大佬” 们表示，他们相信这项技术将很快能够在与人类同等的水平上发挥作用。

You might have mixed feelings about rain. For those experiencing long periods of drought, rain can bring joy. But for those wanting to enjoy the outdoors, a large downpour can ruin the experience. Getting drenched by the weather can make you feel cold and weaken your immune system, but there are some surprising benefits to going out in the rain, provided you've got your brolly and raincoat!您可能对下雨有复杂的感觉。 对于长期干旱的人们来说，雨水可以带来欢乐。 但对于那些想要享受户外活动的人来说，一场大雨可能会破坏这种体验。 被天气淋湿会让您感到寒冷并削弱您的免疫系统，但如果您带上雨伞和雨衣，在雨中外出还有一些令人惊讶的好处！Have you ever noticed a difference in the smell in the air after it's rained? That smell has a name – petrichor. This earthy scent, a pleasant one to many, happens when raindrops release particles from the ground. Humans are incredibly sensitive to the smell, which some scientists think is because it tells us there is new, fresh water. It probably made our ancestors feel safe and calm. And then there's the relaxing sound of raindrops splattering on a hard surface. A 2018 study published in PubMed Central by Thoma and colleagues found that the sound of rain can reduce the stress hormone cortisol and bring a sense of calm.你有没有注意到下雨后空气中的气味发生了变化？ 这种气味有一个名字——petrichor。 当雨滴从地面释放颗粒时，就会产生这种令人愉悦的泥土气味。 人类对气味非常敏感，一些科学家认为这是因为它告诉我们有新的淡水。 这可能让我们的祖先感到安全和平静。 然后是雨滴落在坚硬表面上的令人放松的声音。 Thoma 及其同事于 2018 年在 PubMed Central 发表的一项研究发现，雨声可以降低压力荷尔蒙皮质醇，带来平静感。When raindrops hit a hard surface, something called 'negative ions' are released into the air, which, when in high levels, are known to boost serotonin in the brain, again making us feel more relaxed. However, there isn't a scientific consensus about exactly how this is happening. These negative ions also make the air cleaner. Pam Dalton, a cognitive scientist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Pennsylvania, says there is reasonably good evidence that "the negative ions can clear dust, bacteria, allergens, and other particles from air, which for many can have a positive effect on respiratory health." The heavier the rain, the greater effect it has on cleaning the air.当雨滴撞击坚硬的表面时，一种叫做“负离子”的物质会释放到空气中，当负离子含量较高时，会增加大脑中的血清素水平，再次让我们感到更加放松。 然而，对于这种情况到底是如何发生的，科学界尚未达成共识。 这些负离子还使空气更清洁。 宾夕法尼亚州莫内尔化学感官中心的认知科学家帕姆·道尔顿表示，有相当充分的证据表明“负离子可以清除空气中的灰尘、细菌、过敏原和其他颗粒，这对许多人来说可以对呼吸系统健康产生积极影响。” 雨越大，净化空气的效果就越大。You could feel some of these benefits from the comfort of your own home, just by opening the window and taking a whiff of the petrichor scent or listening to the pitter-patter sound on your roof. Or, after making sure you're dressed in the right attire, step outside in the rain to fully experience the mood-boosting effects of those mysterious negative ions in the air. Just remember to come straight back inside if you see lightning, as this could be dangerous.您可以在舒适的家中感受到其中的一些好处，只需打开窗户，闻一闻彼得里克的气味，或聆听屋顶上的啪嗒啪嗒的声音。 或者，在确保穿着合适后，在雨中走出去，充分体验空气中神秘负离子的提振情绪效果。 请记住，如果看到闪电，请立即返回室内，因为这可能很危险。

These bones at the Denver Science Museum come from ancient bison.丹佛科学博物馆的这些骨头来自古代的野牛。20,000 years ago, ice age people built fires using bones like these from the animals they hunted in cold dry prairies.两万年前，冰河时代的人们用在寒冷干燥的草原上狩猎的动物的骨头生火。They had only grass and twigs from bushes, but no trees. So campfire wood was scarce.他们只有草和灌木丛中的树枝，没有树。营火的木头很是稀缺。Their alternative fuel clearly was bone, because bone ash shows up in many of the archaeological sites that I have worked at.他们的替代燃料显然是骨头，因为在我工作过的许多考古遗址中都发现了骨灰。Now a team of volunteers helps Hoffecker make an Ice Age bone fire, starting with a paleolithic fire drill.现在，一组志愿者帮助霍菲克从旧石器时代的取火行动开始，试图重现冰河时代用骨头来取火。I am not dreaming that it's gonna happen. We tried a bone drill. That's a lot of work. So we went to our methods with a Bic lighter.我没指望着真的能成功。我们试过钻骨取火。非常耗费精力。我们改用了比克打火机引燃。Volunteers feed the fire not big logs, but sticks, similar to the twiggy bushes that Ice Age hunters added to their fires.志愿者投入火中的不是大木头，而是小树枝，类似于冰河时代的猎人添加到他们火堆中的细枝灌木。Then Hoffecker adds the main fuel: the bones of a deer carcass cut just hours earlier.然后，霍菲克添加了主要燃料：几小时前刚切好的鹿尸骨头。The sizzling sound is mostly that fat burning off which is appearing to be very flammable.滋滋声大多是脂肪在燃烧发出的，这种物质看起来非常易燃。See if we can reach the ignition temperature of a bone which is high. It's over 350°C. It's much higher than wood. So it looks like maybe we're getting there.看看我们能否达到骨头的燃点，骨头的燃点很高，超过350°C，比木头的燃点要高得多。看起来我们好像要成功了。Ice Age hunters used mostly bones, but when Hoffecker adds more bones, flames turn to smoke. They saved the fire by going back to sticks.冰河时代的猎人主要使用骨头，但当霍菲克添加更多的骨头时，火焰变成了烟雾。他们又开始用木棍来使之恢复正常。Some of the bone is burning, yes. Hoffecker plans to try more bone fires to better understand the Ice Age humans who lived in cold dry places 20,000 years ago. 有些骨头已经在燃烧了。霍菲克计划更多尝试用骨头生火，以便更好地了解2万年前生活在寒冷干燥地区的冰河时代人类。

You see this? This is what we always threw away, forever. It was rare that you see anybody using it.看到这个了吗？这是我们一直丢弃的东西。很少会有人用这个来烹饪。My name is Todd Gray. I'm the chef and co-owner of Equinox restaurant with my wife Ellen Kassoff.我叫托德·格雷，是Equinox餐厅的厨师，和妻子艾伦·卡索夫共同经营着这家餐厅。We have almost as much discarded trim as we do what we would call yield. I think about four years ago, Ellen really was the catalyst.我们丢弃的边角料几乎和我们所谓的成品产量一样多。我觉得大概是在四年前，艾伦催生了这一想法。So she was saying, "Hey, you know, we really need to be a little more careful with the waste that we're doing. We really need to look into composting."她当时说：“我们真的需要更加谨慎地处理食材浪费。我们真的需要考虑堆肥处理。”When you're married, you know as a couple, things can get much more deeply rooted into the philosophy, into the mind of the people running the company than if you were a big corporation.两个人结为夫妻共同经营时，相比大型企业，很多事情会更深入地融入公司运营者的理念和思维中。You can't lay in bed at night and have your pillow talk about reducing trash in the restaurant.你不可能晚上躺在床上和枕边人聊如何减少餐厅的垃圾。It's always been part of our culture, the kitchen culture, depending the training for a chef, they always taught you to never throw anything in the trash.这一直是我们厨房文化的一部分，根据厨师的培训，他们总是教导你永远不要把任何东西扔进垃圾桶。What we can do at this point is nice little cuts. So we cut them like this. They're crunchy, but once you saute them, they become soft.目前我们能做的就是把它们切成漂亮的形状。我们把它们切成这个样子。它们口感爽脆，但一旦翻炒之后，就会变得柔软。All of the mushroom stem, leaves, skins of the onions, shallots that are a little too ripe, celery trim, things that we accumulate over a couple of days.蘑菇茎、叶子、洋葱皮、有点熟过头的葱、芹菜叶，这些都是我们在几天里积攒下来的东西。Every morning, this is the next step. We put the vegetables on the fire with some water and there's our vegetable broth.每天早上我们都会进行这一步。我们将蔬菜放入锅中，加些水，做成蔬菜汤。The Swiss chard stems which I thought the ideal thing to do would be to take the stems and do something with them.我本以为处理瑞士甜菜茎杆的理想方式是取茎杆并加以利用。So, I said why don't we tempura fry them and serve them with a simple dipping sauce, some spices and some crystal, some salt crystals?我说咱们为什么不把它们做成天妇罗炸一下，然后配上简单的蘸酱、一些香料和一些盐晶呢？We've trained everyone now that, you know, no food, as we've been cutting, prepping, ends up in the trash.我们对每位厨师都进行了培训，在我们切菜、备菜的时候，都不可以有扔进垃圾桶的部分。

So this piece called Lalu is probably from about ten years ago, from this body of work kind of looking at fields, the visual of the motion of tall grass and the wind.这个叫“Lalu”的作品大约创作于十年前，出自这个以田野为主题的系列作品，探讨了高草随风摇曳的视觉效果。You never see the wind. You always see the effects of the wind.你看不见风。但是你总能感受到风带来的影响。But also for me is sort of calling to mind of the front end of a harvest or a reaper and the way that this machine enters the field, and sort of cuts the grain down and processes the grain.但对我来说，这让我想起了收割机的前端，以及这台机器进入田地、割倒谷物并加工谷物的方式。I don't think of it as a robot creating art. These are no more robots than just sort of like atoms that are moving through space right now.我不认为这是机器人在创作艺术。它们和此刻在太空中移动的原子没什么两样，称不上是机器人。This is just a sort of device that helps visualize or record that phenomenon. So it appears inorganic that's actually quite organic.这只是一种有助于直观呈现或记录该现象的工具。它看起来是无机的，但实际上是有机的。But the heart of it really is controlled chance that you create a barrier and make some selections in terms of color.但其实它的核心是可控的随机性，你打造一个屏障，并选择一些不同的色彩。Some of my favorite moments are like in the corner. This is like the highway roadmap business of LA.我最喜欢的一些效果往往出现在角落里。这就像洛杉矶的高速公路路线图。The overlay in a lot of cases comes out of more historical narratives.在很多情况下，这种色彩的重叠更多来自于历史叙述。A lot of the philosophical questions that are embedded in the work for me are ancient questions.作品中蕴含的很多哲学问题对我来说都是古老的问题。Where do you go when you die? Or what is the wind? Or where does the wind come from?人死后会去往哪里？风是什么？风是从哪里来的？I'm also very interested in getting out of my routine and seeing the world.我也非常渴望打破常规，去看看这个世界。Remarkable things can be found all over the place, sometimes just up the road from where you live. It's a question of deviating from your normal path. 非凡的事物随处可见，有时就在你居住地附近。关键在于偏离你惯常的路线。

According to the National Center for Health Statistics of the United States, roughly 37 percent of US adults consume fast food on a daily basis.根据美国国家卫生统计中心的数据，大约37%的美国成年人每天都会食用快餐。The center found a significant rise in the number of severe obesity cases in very young children aged 2 to 5.该中心发现，2至5岁幼儿的严重肥胖病例数量显著增加。Thank you so much for having us here in your home.非常感谢您邀请我们到您家做客。Zobaida Falah, an Ohio-based Muslim entrepreneur, launched her snack bar company called Cure in June 2016佐拜达·法拉赫是一位来自俄亥俄州的穆斯林企业家，她于2016年6月创办了一家名为“Cure”的小吃店，in an effort to end unhealthy food habits and raise awareness about proper nutrition and its benefits.旨在消除不健康的饮食习惯，并提高人们对合理营养及其益处的认识。To fight obesity and junk food habits, Falah created a line of organic healthy bars for all. The idea come to her when she was teaching math and English to kids.为了对抗肥胖和垃圾食品习惯，法拉赫为所有人推出了一系列有机健康棒，她教孩子们英语和数学时，有了这个主意。I would watch my students to come into the classroom, eating chips and soda, refined sugars, bad carbs.我看着我的学生们走进教室，吃着薯片、喝着汽水，里面含有精制糖和不健康的碳水化合物。And anytime I asked them why do you guys eat so poorly, a very common response was healthy food just doesn't taste good.每当我问他们为什么吃得这么不健康时，一个非常常见的回答是健康食品就是不好吃。With taste in her mind, Falah started experimenting on a unique recipe inspired by her grandmother.法拉赫脑海中想着那种味道，开始尝试一种受她祖母启发的独特食谱。Ingredients include a mixture of nuts, flavorful seeds, honey and black seeds.配料包括坚果混合物、风味种子、蜂蜜和黑籽。It took off. But to this day she still runs her business from home, meeting roughly four to six thousand orders a month.直到今天她仍然在家经营业务，每月大约处理四千到六千份订单。Falah doesn't just want to change people's health but also tackle hunger as she donates a snack bar to the homeless for ages when sold.法拉赫不仅想改变人们的健康状况，还想解决饥饿问题，因为她每卖出一份零食棒，就会长期为无家可归者捐赠一份。We have a social movement and mission behind the company, which means that when we first launched we would donate a bar for every bar that we sold and we would donate it to people experiencing homelessness.我们公司背负社会运动和使命，这意味着我们刚推出产品时，每售出一份产品就会捐赠一份给无家可归的人。And as the company has grown and we've expanded and added new product lines to our brand.随着公司的发展壮大，我们扩大了业务范围并为品牌新增了多条产品线。Now we actually donate a percentage of all of our profits towards alleviating world hunger.现在，我们实际上会将所有利润的一定比例捐赠出去，用于缓解世界饥饿问题。Falah says her company has helped more than 200,000 poor people in the U.S. and abroad, including refugees in Syria, Morocco, Palestine, and Gambia. 法拉赫说，她的公司已经帮助了美国和国外超过20万人，包括叙利亚、摩洛哥、巴勒斯坦和冈比亚的难民。

When it comes to breaking world records, London Marathon is now in a league of its own.在打破世界纪录方面，伦敦马拉松已无人能望其项背。This year's race was the biggest, with nearly 60,000 finishers, and the fastest, with two elite world records, and Sabastian Sawe becoming the first person to break the two-hour barrier in a sanctioned race.本届赛事不仅规模空前，有近六万人完赛，成绩也刷新了历史最快纪录，诞生了两项精英组世界纪录，塞巴斯蒂安·萨维更成为了首位在认证赛事中突破两小时大关的运动员。Now, more people than ever want to take part in next year's event, with over 1.3 million applications, and near parity between male and female runners.现在，想要参加来年比赛的人数达到了有史以来的最高峰，共有超过 130 万人申请参赛，其中男女选手比例几乎持平。Organisers are considering staging the 2027 edition across two days with two separate mass participation races.赛事组委会正在考虑将 2027 年的赛事分两天举行，即举办两场独立的大众赛。Approval is yet to be given, but it could mean there may be more spots up for grabs in what has become the world's most popular running race.方案虽待审批，但这预示着在这场全球最受欢迎的竞跑赛事中，将有更多参赛名额可供争取。
