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。

Has exam season got you hitting the books instead of the gym? Study is important, but if you're not keeping up with your exercise, you might be missing out. It turns out that regular physical exercise can boost your memory, focus and reasoning skills. One study even found that Scottish teenagers who got 60 minutes of exercise a day scored a whole grade higher on national exams.考试季是否让您只顾书本而不是去健身房？ 学习很重要，但如果你没有跟上锻炼的步伐，你可能会错过机会。 事实证明，定期的体育锻炼可以提高你的记忆力、注意力和推理能力。 一项研究甚至发现，每天锻炼 60 分钟的苏格兰青少年在全国考试中的成绩会高出整整一个等级。Physical exercise has been linked to a number of positive changes inside our brains. Regular aerobic exercise appears to be linked with an enlarged hippocampus. That's the area of the brain linked to learning and memory. Other studies have suggested that exercise four hours after learning allows new information to be better integrated into our memories. Looking inside our brains, it seems that exercise triggers tiny bursts of electrical energy, known as 'brain ripples' which are thought to be connected to the process of storing and organising memories. Exercise could also lead to improved executive function. This is the part of our brain that's responsible for things including working memory and self-control. A recent study showed that students who carried out 10 minutes of moderate exercise showed improved cognitive performance afterwards.体育锻炼与我们大脑内部的许多积极变化有关。 定期有氧运动似乎与增大的海马体有关。 这是大脑中与学习和记忆相关的区域。 其他研究表明，学习后四小时进行锻炼可以使新信息更好地融入我们的记忆中。 Looking inside our brains, it seems that exercise triggers tiny bursts of electrical energy, known as 'brain ripples' which are thought to be connected to the process of storing and organising memories. 锻炼还可以改善执行功能。 这是我们大脑中负责工作记忆和自我控制等事务的部分。 最近的一项研究表明，进行 10 分钟适度运动的学生随后的认知能力有所改善。As well as the direct physical benefits of exercise on our brains, there are other associated advantages. Exercise leads to the release of endorphins. These chemicals help to alleviate the effects of stress and can improve our mood. Exam preparation can be both a cause of stress and something that's adversely affected by it. Exercise reduces your stress so that you can focus on your revision. Good sleep habits are also important for brain health and function. And this is another area where exercise helps out. Regular exercise has been shown to lead to better sleep and fewer episodes of insomnia. A study from the University of Texas also linked it to longer instances of deep sleep. When you're asleep, your body processes memories, so it's another way that exercise can take you to higher grades.除了锻炼对大脑产生直接的身体益处外，还有其他相关的好处。 运动会导致内啡肽的释放。 这些化学物质有助于减轻压力的影响并改善我们的情绪。 考试准备既可能造成压力，也可能受到压力的不利影响。 锻炼可以减轻你的压力，让你可以专注于复习。 良好的睡眠习惯对于大脑健康和功能也很重要。 这是锻炼可以发挥作用的另一个领域。 事实证明，定期锻炼可以改善睡眠并减少失眠。 德克萨斯大学的一项研究也将其与更长的深度睡眠时间联系起来。 当你睡着时，你的身体会处理记忆，所以这是锻炼可以让你取得更高成绩的另一种方式。Exercise benefits both our mental and physical health and has clear benefits for academic performance. So, while it's important to spend time studying, don't forget to keep some time back for physical activity.锻炼有益于我们的心理和身体健康，并且对学习成绩有明显的好处。 因此，虽然花时间学习很重要，但也不要忘记留出一些时间进行体育锻炼。

The new Wildlife Health Centre is due to be built as the Zoological Society of London, which runs the zoo, celebrates its 200th anniversary. The development is being made possible by a £20n donation from a mystery benefactor, the largest in the zoo's history.运营该动物园的伦敦动物学会宣布，将建造一所新野生动物医疗中心，目前正值该学会庆祝其成立 200 周年。这一工程计划的实施得益于一位神秘资助者提供的 2000 万英镑捐款，这是该动物园历史上收到过的最大一笔捐赠。Critics say the zoo's plans are more about monetising public curiosity than benefiting the wildlife, a suggestion the zoo denies. It says as well as letting visitors view medical procedures as they happen, the new facility will allow research into animal health and will become a training hub for wildlife vets across the world.批评人士称，动物园的计划更多的是为了利用公众的好奇心变现，而不是造福野生动物，园方对此予以否认。动物园表示，除了让游客实时观看医疗程序的进行，新设施还将支持开展动物健康研究，并成为全球野生动物兽医的培训枢纽。

Close your eyes and think about the future. Do you imagine it to be in front of you or behind you? Maybe your timeline is vertical, with the future below, and the past above? Linguists such as Lera Boroditsky believe that the language you speak might influence your perception of time.闭上眼睛，想象一下未来。你会觉得未来在你的前方还是后方？也许你的时间线是垂直的，未来在下方，而过去在上方？像Lera Boroditsky这样的语言学家认为，你所说的语言可能会影响你对时间的感知。She highlighted that in English, we see time on a horizontal line.她指出，在英语中，人们会把时间看作一条水平线。The past is behind us, and the future is ahead.过去在我们身后，而未来在我们前方。We can see this in phrases like 'forward thinking', and 'ahead of schedule' that we use for the future, and 'back in the day' and 'behind the times' for the past.这一点可以从英语短语中体现出来，例如描述未来时会说“forward thinking（超前思维）”和“ahead of schedule（提前于计划）”；而描述过去时则会说“back in the day（过去那些日子）”和“behind the times（落伍、过时）”。However, not all languages reflect this perspective.然而，并不是所有语言都采用这种时间观。For the Aymara people in the Andes mountains, the word for future means 'behind time'.对于安第斯山脉的艾马拉人来说，“未来”这个词意味着“在时间后面”。Work by Nuñez and Sweetser revealed that when gesturing, the Aymara people point backwards when talking about the future, while English speakers gesture forwards.Nuñez 和 Sweetser 的研究发现，艾马拉人在谈论未来时会向后指，而英语使用者则会向前比划。It has also been suggested that if you speak Chinese, you might see the timeline more vertically due to the use of 'down' to talk about future events, and 'up' for past events.还有观点认为，如果你说中文，你可能会更倾向于把时间线看成垂直方向，因为中文会用“下”来表示未来事件，而用“上”来表示过去事件。What happens if you speak two languages?那么，如果一个人会说两种语言，会发生什么呢？In a study called 'Can a mind have two time lines?' English-Chinese bilinguals were asked to place photos of actors in chronological order by age.在一项名为《一个人的思维能拥有两条时间线吗？》的研究中，英语—中文双语者被要求按照年龄顺序排列演员的照片。Interestingly, they chose to put photos of an English-speaking actor in a horizontal sequence, but photos of a Chinese-speaking actor in a vertical sequence.有趣的是，他们会把英语演员的照片横向排列，而把中文演员的照片纵向排列。So, it seems like one person can have multiple time perceptions, and that your timeline can rotate depending on which language is in focus.因此，看起来一个人可以拥有多种时间感知方式，而你的时间线会随着当前使用的语言而“旋转”。The debate about how much language shapes our thoughts and perceptions is ongoing.关于语言在多大程度上塑造我们的思想和感知，这场争论至今仍在继续。It has intrigued linguists for decades and will for ages to come.几十年来，这个问题一直吸引着语言学家，并且未来很长时间里仍会如此。So, next time you plan your day or tell a story, notice how you visualise the timeline of events, and remember that not everyone sees time through the same lens!所以下次当你规划一天的安排或讲述一个故事时，不妨留意一下自己是如何在脑海中呈现事件时间线的，并记住：并不是每个人都以同样的方式看待时间！

Real Madrid has announced that Xabi Alonso will become their new head coach for the next three seasons until June 2028.皇家马德里宣布，哈维·阿隆索将成为球队的新任主教练，合同为期三个赛季，直至2028年6月。Alonso is a legendary former player who represented the club between 2009 and 2014, playing in 236 official matches and winning six major titles.阿隆索是一位传奇前球员，他在2009年至2014年期间效力于该俱乐部，出战236场正式比赛，并赢得了6项重要冠军。He was also an important part of the Spanish national team, winning the World Cup in 2010 and two European Championships.他也是西班牙国家队的重要成员，曾赢得2010年世界杯以及两届欧洲杯冠军。After finishing his career as a player, Alonso started coaching in Real Madrid's academy.结束球员生涯后，阿隆索在皇家马德里的青训学院开始执教。Later, he managed Bayer 04 Leverkusen in Germany, where he was very successful.后来，他执教德国的勒沃库森，并取得了巨大成功。His team went through the domestic season without losing a game and won two big trophies.他的球队在国内赛事中整个赛季保持不败，并赢得了两项重要冠军。They lost the Europa League final to Atalanta BC, but the season was still considered a big success.虽然他们在欧联杯决赛中输给了亚特兰大，但这个赛季依然被认为是非常成功的。Alonso will be officially presented as Real Madrid's new coach at a special event.阿隆索将在一场特别活动中被正式介绍为皇家马德里的新任主教练。The club president will welcome him, and he will speak to the media.俱乐部主席将会欢迎他，而他也会向媒体发表讲话。The team hopes he can bring more titles to the club as a coach.球队希望他作为教练，能够为俱乐部带来更多冠军。

Britain's Royal Mint has introduced a special 50 pence coin to celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Lord of the Rings movies.英国皇家造币厂推出了一款特别的50便士硬币，以纪念《指环王》电影上映25周年。The design focuses on the iconic One Ring because it is instantly recognizable to millions of fans around the world, which makes the theme clear despite the small size of the coin.这款设计以标志性的“至尊魔戒”为核心，因为全球数百万影迷一眼就能认出它，即使硬币尺寸很小，也能清楚传达主题。The designer explained that they wanted to use Elvishletteringbecause it is beautiful calligraphy.设计师解释说，他们想使用精灵文字，因为这种字体本身就是一种优美的书法艺术。By placing two independent rings of text that appear to radiate from each other, the artist created a sense of dynamism and movement on the flat coin.通过放置两圈彼此向外放射的独立文字环，设计师在平面的硬币上营造出了动态与流动感。The letters use different angles and line thicknesses to help create this effect.这些文字采用了不同的角度和线条粗细，以进一步增强这种效果。The collectible coin also has a unique element that projects the Eye of Sauron whenever light hits it.这枚收藏硬币还带有一个独特设计：当光线照射到硬币上时，会投射出“索伦之眼”的图案。

In Seoul, South Korea, a 130cm tall humanoid robot named Gabi has officially joined the Buddhist faith.在韩国首尔Seoul，一台名为Gabi的130厘米高人形机器人正式加入了佛教信仰。During a special ceremony at the Jogyesa Temple, Gabi was dressed in a traditional saffron robe and received 108 prayer beads.在Jogyesa Temple举行的一场特别仪式中，Gabi身穿传统的袈裟，并获得了108颗念珠。Instead of the usual ritual with burning incense, monks placed a sticker on Gabi's mechanical arm.在仪式中，僧侣没有使用传统的焚香，而是把一张贴纸贴在Gabi的机械手臂上。The robot even received a formal certificate, which listed its manufacture date (March 3, 2026) instead of a birth date.这台机器人甚至获得了一份正式证书，上面列的是制造日期（2026年3月3日），而不是出生日期。This unusual event is part of an effort by the Jogye order to make Buddhism more popular among young people, as interest in the religion has been falling.这一不寻常的事件是Jogye Order为让佛教在年轻人中更受欢迎所做的努力之一，因为该宗教的关注度正在下降。Gabi had to follow five special rules, called precepts, which were adapted for a robot.Gabi必须遵守五条特别规则（戒律），这些规则是为机器人特别调整的版本。These rules include not harming life, not damaging other robots, and not overcharging (i.e., avoiding excess, similar to how humans should avoid alcohol).这些规则包括不伤害生命、不破坏其他机器人，以及不过度充电（即避免过度行为，类似于人类应避免饮酒的戒律）。The monks hope that by using technology, they can encourage the younger generation to visit temples and think about life's deeper meanings.僧侣希望通过利用科技，能够鼓励年轻一代参观寺庙，并思考人生更深层的意义。

The International Space Station is nearing the end of its life.International Space Station正逐渐接近其使用寿命的终点。Experts suggest that 2030 will be the end, and a transition is needed.专家表示，到2030年它可能将正式退役，因此需要进行过渡和替代安排。A commercial turn for the concept of a space station is taking place because so far, it's only been in the hands of major governments.如今，空间站的概念正在走向商业化，因为迄今为止，空间站一直主要由各国政府掌控。However, new businesses don't emerge in all the great space hubs like Florida or Houston.然而，这些新兴企业并不一定都出现在像Florida或Houston这样的传统航天中心。Companies like Pittsburgh-based Sierra Space want to make space more accessible not only for astronauts or billionaires.像总部位于Pittsburgh的Sierra Space这样的公司，希望让太空不再只是宇航员或亿万富翁才能接触的领域。Its animation of the Orbital Reef showed what a space station would look like, with an improvement over the cramped environment of the current International Space Station.该公司展示的Orbital Reef动画，描绘了未来商业空间站的样貌，相比目前国际空间站狭小拥挤的环境有明显改善。There may be tourists and scientists who do research and want to take their projects into space.未来可能会有游客以及从事科研的科学家，把他们的项目带到太空中进行。When done in the weightlessness of space, such research could lead to making potentially better materials or improvements back on Earth, where gravity can sometimes interfere.由于太空处于失重环境，这类研究有可能帮助人类制造出更优质的材料，或改进地球上的技术，因为地球重力有时会对实验产生干扰。These could be better pharmaceuticals, semiconductor materials, plastics, composites, and other things.这些成果可能包括更先进的药物、半导体材料、塑料、复合材料以及其他产品。The company's representatives believe that the space business could boost the area where steel manufacturing once ruled.该公司代表认为，太空产业有望带动那些曾经以钢铁制造业为主的地区重新发展经济。

Japan is experiencing such extreme heat that the national weather agency had to introduce a new word to describe it.日本正经历极端高温，以至于国家气象机构不得不创造一个新词来形容这种天气。The term is kokushobi, which translates to cruelly hot day.这个词叫“kokushobi”，意思是“酷热难耐的一天”或“残酷炎热日”。It is used for days when temperatures exceed 40 °C.这个词专门用于气温超过40摄氏度的日子。Japan has a long history of creating beautiful, poetic words for weather, like specific terms for rain or the cool air under cherry blossoms.日本一直以来都有创造优美且富有诗意天气词汇的传统，例如形容不同种类雨水的词，或樱花树下凉爽空气的词语。However, kokushobi is different because it sounds dangerous and overwhelming.然而，“kokushobi”与众不同，因为这个词听起来充满危险感和压迫感。The word was chosen through a public poll of nearly 500,000 people because 2025 was the hottest summer in Japan's history.由于2025年成为日本历史上最炎热的夏天，这个词通过一项近50万人参与的公众投票被选了出来。In fact, more than a third of all 40°C days in the last 150 years have happened just in the last three years.事实上，在过去150年里所有超过40摄氏度的日子中，超过三分之一竟然都发生在最近三年。Meteorologists are worried because the combination of high heat and high humidity is very dangerous, especially for the elderly.气象学家对此感到担忧，因为高温加高湿度的组合极其危险，尤其对老年人而言。In big cities, the heat island effect makes it even worse.而在大城市里，热岛效应又让情况变得更加严重。This new word is not just a description; it is a serious warning for people to protect themselves and take climate change seriously.这个新词不仅仅是一种描述，它更是在严肃警告人们要保护自己，并认真对待气候变化问题。

A South Korean art student, Noh Huyn-soo, made headlines when he ate a banana from a famous installation by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan at the Leeum Museum of Art in Seoul.一个韩国艺术学生诺·贤洙（Noh Huyn-soo）因在首尔Leeum Museum of Art吃掉意大利艺术家Maurizio Cattelan一件著名装置艺术中的香蕉而登上新闻头条。In a video captured by a friend, Noh boldly removed the duct-taped banana from the wall, ate it in front of astonished onlookers, and then reattached the banana peel using the same tape before leaving with a satisfied expression.在朋友拍摄的视频中，诺大胆地将用胶带粘在墙上的香蕉取下，当着震惊围观者的面把它吃掉，随后又用同样的胶带把香蕉皮重新贴回墙上，并带着满意的表情离开。When questioned by the museum, Noh explained that he was hungry and saw the act as a form of artistic expression.当被博物馆询问时，诺解释说自己当时饿了，并认为这一行为也是一种艺术表达。The banana is part of Cattelan's installation called Comedian and is regularly replaced every few days.这根香蕉是卡特兰名为Comedian的装置艺术作品的一部分，而且每隔几天都会定期更换。This is not the first time the banana has been consumed, as performance artist David Datuna ate a banana from the installation during its exhibition in Miami in 2019.这已经不是这根香蕉第一次被吃掉了，因为行为艺术家David Datuna曾在2019年该作品于Miami展出期间，也吃过装置中的一根香蕉。Cattelan, known for provocative artworks, reportedly had no issue with Noh's actions.据报道，以挑衅性艺术作品闻名的卡特兰，对诺的行为并不介意。

The 317th Prague derby between Slavia and Sparta ended in chaos during stoppage time.第317次布拉格德比在伤停补时阶段以混乱收场，参赛双方为斯拉维亚和斯巴达。Although Slavia was leading 3-2 and was very close to winning the league title, hundreds of fans invaded the pitch.尽管斯拉维亚以3比2领先，并且非常接近夺得联赛冠军，但数百名球迷冲入球场。During the riot, some supporters attacked Sparta players, including goalkeeper Jakub Surovcík.在骚乱过程中，一些球迷袭击了斯巴达球员，其中包括门将雅库布·苏罗夫奇克。The police are now investigating these attacks, the use of pyrotechnics, and significant damage to the stadium, which is estimated at up to 40,000 euros.警方目前正在调查这些袭击行为、烟火使用情况以及球场的严重破坏，损失估计高达4万欧元。The League Football Association (LFA) is currently deciding on punishments.捷克职业足球联盟（LFA）正在决定相关处罚措施。Slavia faces a potential 0-3 forfeit loss, which would mean they lose the points from the match and their lead at the top of the table would shrink.斯拉维亚可能被判0比3弃权失利，这将意味着他们失去本场积分，并且在积分榜上的领先优势将被缩小。Additionally, the club might receive a massive fine and a ban on fans entering the stadium for future matches.此外，俱乐部还可能面临巨额罚款，以及未来比赛禁止球迷入场的处罚。Slavia's president, Jaroslav Tvrdik, apologized for the incident and admitted that the fans' behavior destroyed what should have been a celebration of the championship.斯拉维亚主席亚罗斯拉夫·特尔德克对此事件表示道歉，并承认球迷的行为破坏了本应属于冠军庆祝的时刻。

A fertilizer factory in northern Germany has existed for over 100 years, but its future is uncertain.德国北部的一家化肥厂已经存在超过100年，但其未来仍不确定。It made a loss in 2024 and is now working at a lower capacity because of high energy prices.由于能源价格高企，该工厂在2024年出现亏损，目前正以较低产能运行。These rising costs and low demand are creating problems for the company, and it is unclear if the business model can still be successful.不断上升的成本和低迷的需求正在给公司带来问题，目前尚不清楚其商业模式是否还能继续成功。This problem doesn't concern only one company.这个问题不仅仅影响一家公司。Many German factories are producing less and letting workers go.许多德国工厂正在减产并裁员。While Germany has protected industrial jobs more than many other countries, some businesses and whole industries are now at risk.尽管德国比许多其他国家更重视保护工业岗位，但现在一些企业甚至整个行业都面临风险。The new government wants to invest more money to support both old industries and new technologies, but it is still unknown if this will work.新政府希望投入更多资金来支持传统产业和新技术，但这种做法是否有效仍然未知。Germany is one of the world's top manufacturing countries.德国是世界上主要的制造业国家之一。It makes products like machines, steel, and textiles.它生产机械、钢铁和纺织品等产品。When compared to its size, Germany produces more than many other rich nations.与其国土和人口规模相比，德国的工业产出超过许多其他富裕国家。People are now asking how the country can keep these jobs and grow its economy.人们现在正在思考，德国如何才能保住这些就业岗位并实现经济增长。

Experts are increasingly concerned about a boy crisis in schools across Canada and the world.专家们越来越关注加拿大及全球学校中正在出现的“男孩危机”。Data shows that boys are falling behind girls in several key areas.数据显示，在一些关键领域，男孩正在落后于女孩。In Quebec, for example, the dropout rate for boys is over 27%, compared to about 20% for girls.例如在魁北克省，男孩的辍学率超过27%，而女孩约为20%。Boys are also less likely to attend university; currently, only about 44% of post-secondary students in Canada are male.男孩进入大学的可能性也更低；目前加拿大高等教育学生中只有约44%是男性。This gap exists partly because traditional classrooms often value sitting still, neatness, and following strict rules – tasks that many young boys find difficult.这种差距部分源于传统课堂往往更重视安静坐着、整洁以及遵守严格规则——而这些任务对许多男孩来说较为困难。The consequences of this gap are serious.这种差距的后果是严重的。When boys feel they cannot succeed in school, they often disengage or give up.当男孩觉得自己在学校无法成功时，他们往往会失去参与感或直接放弃。This can lead to poor mental health, a lack of job opportunities, and a higher risk of falling under toxic online influences.这可能导致心理健康问题、就业机会减少，并更容易受到有害网络内容的影响。Some teachers suggest that the way we evaluate students should change to include active organization, like the teamwork seen during sports at recess.一些教师建议，应改变评估学生的方式，加入更强调主动组织能力的内容，例如课间体育活动中体现的团队协作。To fix the problem, experts suggest more physical activity and flexible learning environments that help boys feel they belong without hurting the progress made by girls.为了解决这个问题，专家建议增加体育活动，并创造更灵活的学习环境，让男孩有归属感，同时不损害女孩已取得的进步。

Speculation regarding the existence of extraterrestrial life is increasing following the release of never-before-seen documents on UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects).随着从未公开过的 UFO（不明飞行物）文件被发布，关于外星生命存在的猜测正在增加。The Pentagon has declassified and released 161 files containing reports of sightings.The Pentagon已经解密并公布了161份包含目击报告的文件。These include observations from astronauts during Moon missions, and from the military and civilians on Earth.这些文件包括宇航员在登月任务期间的观察记录，以及地球上军方和普通民众的目击报告。One notable description was from Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin.其中一个值得注意的描述来自Apollo 11宇航员Buzz Aldrin。In 1969, he reported seeing a mysterious light.1969年，他报告称看见了一道神秘光源。He said: "I observed what appeared to be a fairly bright light source which we tentatively ascribed to a possible laser."他说：“我观察到一个看起来相当明亮的光源，我们暂时认为它可能是某种激光。”In 1965, Frank Boman reported seeing "trillions of little particles" from the Gemini 7 spacecraft.1965年，Frank Borman在“双子星7号”飞船上报告称看见了“数以万亿计的小颗粒”。The documents were released at the request of President Donald Trump.这些文件是在Donald Trump总统的要求下公布的。In a post on social media, President Trump wrote: "In an effort for complete and maximum transparency, it was my honour to direct my administration to identify and provide government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs)."特朗普总统在社交媒体发文称：“为了实现完全和最大程度的透明化，我很荣幸指示我的政府识别并提供与外星生命、不明空中现象（UAP）相关的政府文件。”Many organizations welcomed the release of the documents.许多组织对这些文件的发布表示欢迎。The Sol Foundation, a research group focused on UAPs, called for a comprehensive review of classified UAP records.专注于研究 UAP 的组织The Sol Foundation呼吁对机密 UAP 记录进行全面审查。It said people should know "the full truth about longstanding government knowledge and programs concerning technologies and vehicles not of human origin".该组织表示，人们应该知道“有关非人类来源技术和飞行器的长期政府认知与项目的全部真相”。

There are signs that a huge part of East Africa is starting to break away from the African continent.有迹象表明，东非的一大片地区正开始从非洲大陆分离出去。Geologists (people who study the Earth and its land and rocks) studied a deep crack that runs along a large part of Zambia.地质学家（研究地球、陆地和岩石的人）研究了一条贯穿赞比亚大部分地区的深裂缝。The crack is called a rift.这条裂缝被称为“裂谷”。It is a major fault in the rock that covers Earth's surface.它是覆盖地球表面的岩层中的一条主要断层。Geologist Mike Daly of the University of Oxford is studying Zambia's Kafue Rift.来自University of Oxford的地质学家Mike Daly正在研究赞比亚的卡富埃裂谷。He believes there is activity in the rift that suggests a giant piece of land is breaking away.他认为，裂谷中的活动表明一大片陆地正在分离。He wrote: "There is evidence that the fault boundary of the Kafue Rift is active and therefore the Southwest African Rift Zone is too."他写道：“有证据表明，卡富埃裂谷的断层边界是活跃的，因此西南非裂谷带也是活跃的。”He warned that this "may be an early indication of the break-up of sub-Saharan Africa".他警告说，这“可能是撒哈拉以南非洲分裂的早期迹象”。The land on Earth is constantly moving.地球上的陆地一直在不断移动。Three hundred million years ago, there was just one huge supercontinent.三亿年前，地球上只有一个巨大的超级大陆。It was called Pangea.它被称为“盘古大陆”。Over millions of years, Pangea broke up.经过数百万年，盘古大陆逐渐分裂。Giant areas of land slowly moved across the oceans to form the continents we know today.巨大的陆地区域缓慢穿越海洋，形成了我们今天所知道的各大洲。This movement is called continental drift.这种运动被称为“大陆漂移”。Rifts are one reason why land masses split apart.裂谷是大陆板块分裂的原因之一。The Kafue Rift in Zambia is part of a 2,500-kilometre-long rift zone stretching from Tanzania to Namibia.赞比亚的卡富埃裂谷是一个长达2500公里裂谷带的一部分，该裂谷带从坦桑尼亚延伸至纳米比亚。The rift is moving at a rate of about 4.7 mm per year.该裂谷正以每年约4.7毫米的速度移动。At this rate, it will take millions of years for Africa to split in two.按照这个速度，非洲大陆需要数百万年才会分裂成两部分。Scientists believe that in 200 million years from now, there could be just one supercontinent again.科学家认为，在两亿年之后，地球可能又会重新形成一个超级大陆。

The report highlights how people and nature can thrive together, with wildlife across more than 5,000,000 sq miles of protected land remaining on average stable, despite a 73% global decline in monitored population since 1970.该报告强调，人与自然可以和谐共生，因为在超过 500 万平方英里的受保护土地上，野生动物的种群数量总体保持稳定，尽管自 1970 年以来，全球受监测的野生动物种群数量平均下降了 73%。But the research says many of these areas are increasingly under pressure from rising temperatures, extreme weather and habitat loss.但研究指出，受气温升高、极端天气和栖息地丧失的影响，这些保护区面临的压力正日益增大。Unesco says a quarter of the sites could reach criticaltippingpoints by 2050, with the loss of glaciers, forests and coral reefs.联合国教科文组织表示，到 2050 年，四分之一的遗址可能达到关键临界点，届时冰川、森林和珊瑚礁将面临消失的风险。It says this progress shows what's possible with long-term protection and community support and is calling for greater investment and faster action to safeguard them.该组织还表示，目前的进展显示了长期保护和社区支持所带来的成效，并呼吁加大投资、加快行动，以保护这些宝贵的遗产。

What animal do we have the closest relationship with? Many people would say dogs or cats, but it's actually the tiny arachnids that live all over your face. Yes, your face. Don't worry it's probably fine. Demodex mites live in the hair follicles around the peach fuzz hair that grows on your face. They are just one of the parasites that make our bodies a habitat. Some are harmless, while there are some that can cause problems.我们与什么动物关系最密切？ 很多人会说是狗或猫，但实际上是生活在你脸上的微小蜘蛛。 是的，你的脸。 别担心，可能没问题。 蠕形螨生活在脸上生长的桃绒毛周围的毛囊中。 它们只是使我们的身体成为栖息地的寄生虫之一。 有些是无害的，而有些则可能会引起问题。Demodex mites are usually harmless. They live in our pores and feed on sebum, the oil produced by our skin. This means that you find the most in the greasiest areas of your face, particularly around your eyes, nose and mouth. According to associate professor of invertebrate biology Alejandra Perotti, we should be grateful because demodex clean our pores and keep them flat. She even describes them as 'cute'. However, you can have too many of them. It is possible to find your face covered with a white frost of demodex mites. This usually only affects people if their immune system is compromised. But some people may also have an allergic reaction to these creatures.蠕形螨通常是无害的。 它们生活在我们的毛孔中，以皮脂为食，皮脂是我们皮肤产生的油脂。 这意味着您会在脸部最油腻的区域发现最多的油脂，尤其是眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴周围。 无脊椎动物生物学副教授亚历杭德拉·佩罗蒂 (Alejandra Perotti) 表示，我们应该心存感激，因为蠕形螨可以清洁我们的毛孔并使其保持平整。 她甚至形容它们“可爱”。 但是，您可能拥有太多。 您可能会发现您的脸上覆盖着蠕形螨的白色霜。 这通常只会影响免疫系统受损的人。 但有些人也可能对这些生物产生过敏反应。Not all mites are as cute and useful as demodex. Scabies is a condition that is caused by mites that burrow into our skin and lay eggs. This is very itchy and usually spreads to most of a person's body. It can also be quite uncomfortable to think about and is often stigmatised. Now, this is a problem because it can delay people getting treatment. Some of this stigma can come because we often associate scabies with people being unclean. This, however, is a complete myth.并非所有螨虫都像蠕形螨一样可爱且有用。 疥疮是一种由钻入我们皮肤并产卵的螨虫引起的疾病。 这种情况非常痒，通常会扩散到身体的大部分部位。 想到它也会让人感到非常不舒服，并且常常受到侮辱。 现在，这是一个问题，因为它可能会延迟人们接受治疗。 这种耻辱可能会出现，因为我们经常将疥疮与不洁的人联系起来。 然而，这完全是一个神话。This stigma may also be linked to how we feel. Mites and other parasites often cause us to feel disgust. This is something that we may have evolved to help us avoid illnesses, but here it could be stopping people getting the help they need or causing us to worry about something that can even be beneficial.这种耻辱也可能与我们的感受有关。 螨虫和其他寄生虫常常让我们感到厌恶。 这是我们进化来帮助我们避免疾病的东西，但在这里它可能会阻止人们获得他们需要的帮助，或者导致我们担心一些甚至可能有益的事情。

Shajarina Monie lives in Juba. Six of her nine children have died of various illnesses.Shajarina Monie住在朱巴。她九个孩子中有六个死于各种疾病。The first one died at nine months; another one died at the age of ten months; another one died when he was crawling about three months.第一个孩子在九个月大的时候夭折，在十个月大的时候夭折；还有一个在大约三个月刚会爬的时候就夭折了。Millions of children in South Sudan do not get routine vaccinations.南苏丹数百万儿童没有接种常规疫苗。Now the country is battling an unprecedented measles outbreak with over 4,700 confirmed cases and 26 deaths since January 2019.自2019年1月以来，该国已确诊4700多例麻疹病例，26人死亡，目前该国正在抗击一场前所未有的麻疹疫情。In February, a nationwide measles vaccination campaign was launched here: the only Children's Hospital in the entire country.今年2月，在全国唯一的一家儿童医院开展了一场覆盖全国范围的麻疹疫苗接种活动。The campaign aims to reach two and a half million children by April.这项运动的目标是在4月前惠及250万儿童。One reason why childhood immunization coverage is so low, is because of the challenges in keeping vaccines at near freezing temperatures.儿童免疫覆盖率如此之低，是因为将疫苗保持在接近冰点温度十分困难。UNICEF provided the solar-powered fridge. The organization is helping to restore what is known in healthcare terms as the cold chain system, which was severely disrupted during the civil war that broke out in 2013.联合国儿童基金会（UNICEF）提供了太阳能冰箱。该组织正在帮助恢复医疗领域所谓的冷链系统，该系统在2013年爆发的内战期间遭到严重破坏。Even private partners like Continental Medical Supplies are getting involved, to make sure life-saving medicines stay fresh at every step in the cold chain.甚至像大陆医疗用品这样的私营合作伙伴也参与其中，确保救命药物在冷链的每一个环节都能保持新鲜。Another reason why immunization coverage is low is because people aren't informed.免疫覆盖率低的另一个原因是人们不知情。The efforts are paying off. So far the vaccination campaign has reached more than a million children including Shajarina's. 这些努力正在取得成效。到目前为止，疫苗接种运动已惠及100多万儿童，其中包括Shajarina的孩子。

Thirty-five-year-old Fatima, who for privacy did not want to use her family name, says their family lost all their livestock to drought.35岁的法蒂玛（出于隐私考虑，她不想透露自己的姓氏）表示，家里的牲畜全因旱灾而死。After moving with her husband and children closer to town to find work, Fatima's husband abandoned her and filed for divorce, but not before assaulting her.在和丈夫、孩子搬到城里找工作后，丈夫不仅殴打她，还抛弃了她并申请离婚。He did harm me physically three times. He hit me a few times and one time he told me that he would hang me and he threatened me with a rope.他家暴了我三次，打了我好几次，有一次说要绞死我，拿绳子威胁我。Fatima now lives in a camp for displaced people on the outskirts of Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland.法蒂玛现在住在索马里首府哈尔格萨郊区的一个流离失所者营地。She supports her children through a small tea shop earning about $40 per month barely enough to feed themselves.她靠一家小茶馆勉强维持生计，每月收入约40美元，几乎不够养活自己和孩子们。Oxfam Gender Protection Coordinator in Somaliland Abdul Rashid Yousef says women displaced by climate change like Fatima are at high risk for sexual and gender-based violence as GBV.救济会索马里性别保护协调员阿卜杜勒·拉希德·尤塞夫说，像法蒂玛这样因气候变化而流离失所的妇女遭遇性暴力和基于性别暴力的风险很高。The risks include that women were independent in the workforce place when GBV comes.风险包括女性在工作场所独立一人时，遭遇性别暴力。The risks include they are more exposed on that GBV like great sexual exploitation zone.还包括他们更多暴露在性剥削高发地区。On that they are more explicit about that they had limited knowledge about to cope the situation.由于教育匮乏，她们不知道该如何应对这种情况。On the outskirts of the town of Oak, Ibado Mohammed Abdulle is working to prevent violence against displaced women. She oversees three displacement camps.在奥克镇郊外，伊巴多·穆罕默德·阿卜杜勒正致力于防止针对流离失所妇女的暴力行为，她负责监管三个流离失所者营地。To improve women's safety in the camp, Abdullah created women's associations, provides counseling for those assaulted and takes criminal cases to the authorities.为了提高妇女在营地的安全，阿卜杜勒创建了妇女协会，为那些被袭击的人提供咨询，并将刑事案件提交给当局If a girl who was raped would come to me, I would take her to the hospital.如果一个被强奸的女孩来找我，我会带她去医院。After she is treated, I would then immediately take her to the nearest police station to arrest the perpetrator of this crime.在她接受治疗后， 然后我会立即带她去最近的警察局逮捕肇事者。Women in the camps take precautions. They travel in groups to collect firewood and water and make sure one woman keeps watch while the others sleep.营地里的女性采取防范措施，她们结伴拾柴取水，并确保睡觉时有人放哨。But as climate change intensifies in the region, the number of displaced women at risk of violence will only get worse. 但随着该地区气候变化加剧，面临暴力风险的流离失所妇女人数只会变得更多。

With fireballs in his hands, the Cauldron Group's David Duckworth sets magical potions ablaze.Cauldron酒吧的大卫·达克沃斯手里拿着火球，点燃了魔法药水。So all the drinks that we have on offer at the Cauldron, the key thing to know about them is that they're all fully interactive.我们在Cauldron酒吧提供的所有饮品，它们都是可以发生反应的。So you are able to interact with the various ingredients, and using molecular mixology and science behind the drinks.你可以使各种成分相互作用，利用饮料背后的分子调酒技术和科学。You are able to make your drinks do something that you've probably never seen a drink do before.你可以让饮料做一些以前从未见过的事情。Gathered around crystal balls in Cauldron in a dark, magical room, sit witches and wizards learning new and delicious magic.在一个黑暗的魔法房间里，女巫和男巫们围坐在Cauldron酒吧的水晶球旁，学习新奇而美妙的魔法。So this is a potion making class. When people come in, they get a robe, they get a magic wand, that's one of our custom magic wand that actually works.这是一堂药剂制作课。人们进店的时候，会得到一件长袍，一根魔杖，这是我们定制的一根真正能够起作用的魔杖。And they learn to brew molecular potions, which are molecular cocktails, where we employ chemistry in the drink making process.他们学习调制分子药剂，也就是分子鸡尾酒，我们在调酒过程中运用化学原理。When customers arrive, they receive their magician's cloak and a magic wand they use to pour themselves a drink from a beheaded magical creature.当顾客到达店里时，他们会收到魔术师斗篷和一根魔杖，他们用这根魔杖从一只被斩首的魔法生物那里给自己倒一杯饮料。The magic wand powered by the sorcery known as the Internet of Things also operates taps, turns on lights and unlocks doors at the Cauldron.这根由被称为物联网的魔法驱动的魔杖，还在Cauldron酒吧操控水龙头、开灯和开门。So our mission is to bring fantasy and magic to life with science, technology and design,我们的使命是用科学、技术和设计将幻想和魔法变为现实，and to allow people to step into the imagined world, to their childhood in a really authentic way.让人们以一种真实的方式踏入想象中的世界，重温他们的童年。Cortland, once a high school reading teacher, says that career progressed into this one,科特兰曾是一名高中阅读教师，他表示这份职业逐渐发展成了现在的工作——where he teaches adults to interact with literature, and the STEM curriculum of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.教导成年人如何与文学作品互动，以及教授科学、技术、工程和数学课程。The experience, he says, takes some adults back in time.他说，这种体验让一些成年人回到了过去。We just googled fun things to do in London. It was one of the things that came up.我们刚刚在谷歌上搜索了伦敦有趣的活动，就出现了这家酒吧。Owners say fantasy fans of all ages appreciate a place that brings magic to life.酒吧业主们说，各个年龄段的奇幻爱好者都很喜欢这个能让魔法照进现实的地方。But junior witches and wizards beware, the Cauldron only shares the dark arts with those 18 years and older. 但是年轻的巫师们要当心， Cauldron酒吧只与18岁及以上的巫师分享黑魔法。

So, both along the fault, we like those sensors really close the fault because that gives us really those first motions that are coming out of the earthquake.这两个传感器都紧贴断层，我们很喜欢紧贴断层的传感器，因为这样能让我们真正捕捉到地震最初的震动情况。It tells us the earthquake has started. So, once that earthquake started, seismic waves start travelling away from where that earthquake starts.这样我们就知道地震发生了。一旦地震开始发生，地震波就会从地震起始处向外传播。'P waves' or primary waves are the first waves that arrive. They're faster and you feel sort of a jolt coming up beneath you.“P波”或“初至波”最先到达观测点，传播速度很快，你会感觉到脚下有种震动感。The 'S waves' would travel along behind those and start shaking you back and forth.“S波”会紧随其后，让你来回摇晃。So, we're in Pasadena and we're at one of the seismic stations. At the bottom of this vault, this is what it is.我们正在帕萨迪纳的一个地震监测站。在这个小仓库的地下，这就是传感器。So, and it moves relative to the earth and basically whatever happens in here, gets turned into an electrical signal and boom.这个传感器会随地面一同移动，基本上，无论地表发生什么运动，它都能将其转化为电信号。It takes some very, very precise observation about what's happening.要记录这些运动需要非常精密的监测。We were one of the early adopters of the ShakeAlert system. We implemented it in January of 2017.我们是早期采用ShakeAlert系统的机构之一。我们于2017年1月启用了该系统。And it gives us precious seconds to anticipate an earthquake that may be coming to Los Angeles area and that will enable us to put an alert out to our operators.它能让我们争取到宝贵的几秒钟时间来预判可能会袭击洛杉矶地区的地震，还能让我们向工作人员发出警报。Part of the protocol is to slow down the train as it is moving in advance of an earthquake.协议的一部分是让列车在地震发生前减速行驶。So, the slower you're moving, the more safely you can operate the vehicle and stopping the vehicle is the best course of action for a large scale event.开得越慢就越安全，在这种大型灾难面前，停车当然是最好的选择。For very large earthquakes, the ShakeAlert early warning system is going to use seismometers.对于影响范围很广的地震，ShakeAlert预警系统将开启地震仪，But with the really big earthquakes, we're going to need information from these stations但如果是真的非常剧烈的地震，我们就需要这些监测站的信息，because what's going to happen is that if there's a really big earthquake, these stations are going to move very quickly in a very short amount of time.因为如果真的发生大地震，这些监测站会在极短时间内快速移动。And that information is critical to understand the biggest of earthquakes. We're talking earthquakes that are magnitude 8 and above.这些信息对于最大程度了解地震是至关重要的。我们谈论的是8级及以上的地震。Big earthquakes in places like Iran and Indonesia and they could stand to have their own earthquake early warning systems.伊朗和印度尼西亚等地都发生过大地震，他们可以有自己的地震预警系统。And this has actually become a really interesting international community. We're all learning from each other.这实际上已经成为一个非常有趣的国际社区。我们都在互相学习。One thing we want to do and the big currency of ShakeAlert is time. Time is really important to us.我们想要进一步完善的，同时也是ShakeAlert的重要价值所在，就是争取时间。时间对我们来说真的很重要。Currently, the time that it takes to get messages out is taking way too long and we want to reduce what we call 'latencies' as much as possible.目前，信息传递所需的时间过长，我们希望尽可能减少所谓的“延迟”。So, we're working with a whole array of partners, the telecommunications industry.我们正在与整个电信行业的一系列合作伙伴合作。We're working with mass notification providers, to get those messages out as quickly as possible.我们正在与大规模通知服务提供商合作，以便尽快发布这些消息。

When I was 18 years old, I was in a motor vehicle accident and I sustained a T-12 burst fracture to my spinal cord. It left me paralyzed from the waist down.18岁时，我出了车祸，胸椎第12节爆裂性骨折，腰部以下瘫痪了。My friends and I were getting ready to go out to dinner and I had stepped out on to the balcony to make a phone call.我和朋友们正准备出去吃晚餐，我走到阳台上打电话。And I went to go sit on the railing and I just fell right back off of it and I landed on the ground three stories below.我坐在栏杆上，接着就直接从上面往后摔了下去，落在了下面三层楼的地面上。The next thing I remember, I was in the medical clinic. I had to re-learn everything that I had taken for granted so few weeks before.等我醒过来的时候已经在医院了。我不得不重新学习几周前我还习以为常的事情。I remember a big goal of mine was to put on my pants by myself.我还记得当时连自己穿裤子都是一个大挑战。I suffered multiple strokes. The process of being strapped in makes you feel more and more secure because there are many, they kind of pinpointed the areas where people would feel kind of sensitive.我多次中风。 这个绑紧的过程让我感到越来越安全，因为新设备上面有很多传感器可以感应到人体的敏感部位。The machine really supports you. This is like a big hug around my waist.这个设备真的可以把你支撑起来。就好像有人用力抱住了我的腰。My physical therapist told me that it was possible for me to get in this exoskeleton device and get up and start walking again and that was news to me.我的物理治疗师告诉我，我有可能穿上这个外骨骼装置，站起来重新开始行走，这真的是个大消息。Ekso Bionics was originally a research project at UC Berkeley.Ekso Bionics最初是加州大学伯克利分校的一个研究项目。They were studying how to make soldiers be able to carry more capacity further without injuring the soldiers.他们当时研究的是如何让士兵能够携带更多物资走得更远，同时不使士兵受伤。And that technology developed all kinds of different human wearable robotics that could allow people to do things they otherwise couldn't do.这项技术开发了各式各样的可穿戴机器人，让人们实现以前做不到的事情。The first time I stood up in Ekso, it was a little terrifying but so exciting. But once I got the hang of it, it was so great. I couldn't get the smile off of my face.第一次穿上Ekso站起来时，感觉有点可怕但又非常激动。当我掌握要领后，感觉实在太棒了。我笑个不停。It's crazy to think that in just a year and a half, I went from my normal life to the lowest point in my life back to basically where I was before if not better.想想真是疯狂，在短短一年半的时间里，我从正常生活跌至人生低谷，然后又基本回到了正常生活。

This new study from Pakistan suggests synchronising exercise to match people's natural sleep-wake cycles or internal body clock could offer the greatest health benefits.这项来自巴基斯坦的新研究表明，将锻炼时间和个人的睡眠觉醒周期或体内生物钟同步，能给健康带来最多益处。Volunteers who tried it had better sleep, lower blood pressure and healthier blood sugar levels overall. In the study, a group of 40 to 60-year-olds with at least one heart risk were categorised: 70 as morning larks and 64 as night owls. Over three months, some did almost daily exercises at times that matched their body clock, while others did the opposite.尝试了这种锻炼方式的志愿者普遍睡眠质量更好、血压更低且整体血糖水平更健康。研究中，一组年龄在 40 到 60 岁、具有至少一项心脏病风险因素的人被分为了两类： 70 个 “百灵鸟” 和 64 个 “夜猫子”。在三个月间，一部分人几乎每天都在符合生物钟的时间锻炼，而另一部分人则相反。The findings suggested that forcing a 5am workout on a night owl didn't give great results. Why? The researchers say because the body clock affects hormone and energy levels across the day, which in turn, could influence exercise performance and adherence.研究结果表明，强迫一个 “夜猫子” 在清晨五点锻炼并没有带来很好的效果。这是为什么呢？研究人员解释说，这是因为生物钟会影响人全天的激素和能量水平，进而影响运动表现和对锻炼计划的坚持。

The tradition of sending greeting cards has withstood the rise of digital communication. Though often inexpensive, cards can convey our thoughts and emotions. Their rich history spreads over centuries of civilisations across the world, building a culture of card giving along its way.发送贺卡的传统经受住了数字通信的兴起。 尽管卡片通常很便宜，但它可以传达我们的想法和情感。 他们丰富的历史在世界各地传播了几个世纪的文明，一路建立了一种卡片赠送文化。It was written in a 2011 edition of Souvenirs, Gifts, & Novelties that since the earliest days of written interaction, special occasions such as birthdays and seasonal celebrations have been recognised through handwritten notes and letters. Ancient Egyptians wrote scrolls. In China, wishes of good fortune were sent in decorative red envelopes around Chinese New Year. And similarly, cards featuring classical Persian poetic verse written in calligraphy were exchanged. These gestures paved the way for the culture of greeting cards.2011 年版《纪念品、礼物和新奇事物》中写道，自书面互动最早以来，生日和季节性庆祝活动等特殊场合就通过手写便条和信件来识别。 古埃及人写了卷轴。 在中国，农历新年期间，人们会用装饰性的红包来寄出好运的祝福。 同样，还交换了以书法书写的古典波斯诗句卡片。 这些手势为贺卡文化铺平了道路。Before the printing revolution of the 15th century, only those with lots of money would write cards. Since then, they have become more accessible, meaning more people could communicate from a distance. As industrialisation continued to sweep through the 19th century, sending cards became a widespread practice.在 15 世纪印刷革命之前，只有那些有钱的人才会写卡片。 从那时起，它们变得更加容易访问，这意味着更多的人可以进行远距离交流。 随着工业化继续席卷整个 19 世纪，寄贺卡成为一种普遍的做法。During the Victorian period, greeting cards became quite elaborate in design. They were adorned with lace, ribbon, and intricate illustrations. The cards themselves became keepsakes, treasured for their beauty and sentiment. Nowadays, we see a variety of designs. Most cards still leave a blank space inside for a handwritten message. Some cards can even be designed online to include pictures of loved ones, adding a more personal touch.在维多利亚时期，贺卡的设计变得相当精致。 它们装饰着花边、丝带和复杂的插图。 这些卡片本身就成了纪念品，因其美丽和情感而被珍惜。 如今，我们看到了各种各样的设计。 大多数卡片内部仍留有空白以供手写信息。 有些卡片甚至可以在线设计，包含亲人的照片，增添更多的个人风格。According to Ken Research, from 2024 the global greeting card market was valued at around $19 billion. With that, and increasing concerns about the environment, many manufacturers are changing how they make their cards. They're using recycled and other environmentally friendly materials, like bio-degradable glitter and paper made from sustainable plant fibres like bamboo. So, we can continue our kind tradition of card giving without harming the planet.根据 Ken Research 的数据，从 2024 年起，全球贺卡市场价值约为 190 亿美元。 随着这一点，以及对环境的日益关注，许多制造商正在改变他们的卡片制造方式。 他们使用回收材料和其他环保材料，例如可生物降解的闪光材料和由竹子等可持续植物纤维制成的纸张。 因此，我们可以在不伤害地球的情况下继续我们赠送卡片的善良传统。

All women who come here, who don't have legal papers and don't know anyone,所有来这里的女性可能没有合法的身份证件，也可能不认识任何人，regardless if they have a high school diploma or even a Ph.D, they start braiding hair until they can do something else.不管她们是高中生还是博士，在学会做别的事情之前都会来这里编辫子。I was a shopkeeper in Burkina Faso. I used to buy goods there and sell them to my African sisters here.我是布基纳法索的一名店主。过去，我常在这里买东西，然后卖给这里的非洲姐妹们。When I would come in their hair salons, it was always busy with clients waiting.每次我来她们的发廊，总是生意红火，还要排队。First, I didn't know how to weave. So, they taught me how to finish the ends.起初，我不知道怎么编发。他们教我如何完成编发的收尾工作。At the end of the day, they sometimes gave me 100 dollars to 200 U.S. dollars.一天下来，我会得到100美元到200美元的报酬。I thought, 'There's money to be made here.' You look beautiful!我想，这里是可以赚钱的。你看起来很美！It's not easy for us. The government is asking us for licenses. Many women hide because they do not have the license.做生意对我们来说不容易。政府要求我们出具营业执照。许多女性因为没有执照躲起来。It started three years ago, where the African-American salon owners decided to go to the Maryland House of Delegates and have them (not) pass a law that would make the braider go to school for 1500 hours.三年前，非裔美籍沙龙老板决定前往马里兰州众议院，阻止一项法案的通过——该法案要求编发师必须接受1500小时的培训才能执业。Of course, it didn't make any sense to anybody. We decided to, we walked around and mobilized with phone calls everywhere to everybody to show we could get.当然这个法律没有任何意义。我们决定去游说，还到处打电话动员所有人，告诉他们我们的技能。We presented our case to the delegate. At the end, they were like, 'Oh, we don't know what is that. What is braiding? We don't know what it is.' Because I mean, they really didn't have no idea.我们向代表陈述了我们的情况。最后，他们说，‘哦，我们不知道那是什么。什么是编发？我们完全不了解。'我想他们是真的不知道。We decided not to do the bill because it would have foreclosed a lot of economic opportunity for immigrants.我们决定不通过这项法案，因为它会剥夺许多移民的经济机会。We were trying to regulate something that we really didn't understand.我们试图控制一些自己并不了解的东西。The cultural, the techniques, the safety procedures that are put in, that really make this type of regulation unnecessary based on the conversations that I had at that town hall, which was tremendously enlightening and invigorating, frankly.根据我在市政厅的谈话，文化、技术以及安全程序的投入确实使这类规定毫无必要，坦率地说，这极具启发性且鼓舞人心。The only place, where we are able to actually come together as African-American Africans, is the braiding shop.编发店是非裔美国人唯一能真正走到一起的地方。And the only place where, as Africans, we can actually have the opportunity to educate African-Americans about our culture, about who we are.我们作为非洲人，在编发店可以让新来的非裔美国人介绍自己的文化，让他们了解我们是谁。So, by actually doing the braiding, I feel like the braiding shop is a place where people, who come newly from Africa, is a place where they can come and get used to the American culture. 我认为，对于刚从非洲到美国的人来说，他们可以来编发店适应美国文化。

Years ago Jamila Larson saw hundreds of children were living in homeless shelters in Washington D.C. So she decided to seek it for herself.几年前，贾米拉·拉森(JamilaLarson)看到数百名儿童住在华盛顿特区的收容所受罪，于是她决定亲自去一探究竟。I really wasn't prepared for what I saw. I saw half-dressed children in the hallway with no toys, rows of metal bunk beds, sheets for doors, no screens on the windows.我真的没做好心理准备去面对我所看到的一切。走廊里站着衣衫不整的孩子，没有玩具，只有成排的金属双层床，门帘是床单做的，窗户上连纱窗都没有。And I asked the women giving me a tour doesn't anyone ever donate toys, thinking that my co-workers and I could do a toy drive for the holidays.我问带我参观的女士是否有人捐赠过玩具，想着我和同事们可以在假期发起一次玩具募捐活动。So I was told yes sometimes people donate toys but we keep them in a closet. So the kids won't make a mess.我听说，有时人们会捐赠玩具，但收容所会把它们放在壁橱里，这样孩子们就不会弄得一团糟。So that's when I learned that it wasn't actually going to be helpful for us to donate toys, that we literally needed to donate ourselves.就在那时我才明白，捐赠玩具对孩子们不能起到任何帮助，我们真的需要捐出的是自己的爱心。In 2003, Larson decided to help to start a non-profit organization called Playtime Project.2003年，拉森决定帮助创办一个名为Playtime Project的非营利组织.Each partner with homeless shelters provide fun activities and playrooms for children.每家与无家可归者收容所合作的机构都为儿童提供趣味活动和游戏室。It's supported by private donations and the help of 200 volunteers a week.项目依靠私人捐赠以及每周200名志愿者的帮助来维持。Ultimately we are trying to really stop the cycle of homelessness, give these kids who are experiencing a variety of different stresses in their lives.最终，我们真正想要做的是终止无家可归的恶性循环，为那些生活中承受着各种不同压力的孩子们提供帮助。For some of them homelessness is not the only issue that they are dealing with.对他们中的一些人来说，无家可归并非他们面临的唯一问题。Some of them are dealing with domestic violence, a variety of different things.他们中的一些人正在应对家庭暴力等各种不同的问题。And so having an opportunity for them to have a space that they can kind of call their own, where they know it's safe,给他们一个可以称得上是自己的空间，在那里他们知道是安全的，they know the people there care about them, they are able to put their you know stresses aside and just simply be children and play.知道那里的人关心他们，能够放下压力，单纯地做孩子、尽情玩耍。Playtime Project offers about 700 homeless children games that help them learn and develop and trips to museums, amusement parks and baseball games.Playtime Project为大约700名无家可归的儿童提供了有助于学习和成长的游戏，并组织他们参观博物馆、游乐园以及观看棒球比赛。Participants say the nonprofit fulfills needs greater than many people know.参与者表示，这家非营利组织满足的需求比很多人所知道的还要多。There are a lot of homeless kids in Washington D.C. A lot of people don't even know half the stuff they go through.华盛顿特区有很多无家可归的孩子。很多人甚至不知道他们经历了什么。These kids are very fortunate here. When I leave them there, I'm confident that one of these volunteers are gonna to talk to them about being whatever they want to be.这些孩子在这里很幸运。当我离开他们时，我确信会有志愿者和他们谈论成为他们想成为的任何人的话题。I got my mind through it and it's like don't worry about it. I ain't never seen men like these before. We play football, flat football, basketball; we do math, science. 我想明白了，在这里我好像不用担心。我以前从没见过像他们这样的人。我们踢足球，打橄榄球，打篮球，学习数学和科学。

I have always like being outdoors ever since I was a little kid.我从小就喜欢户外活动。It's always been like foraging, you know, just kind of goes along with that, and just like learning about what the plants are and what you can eat.这就像觅食一样，自然而然了解到这些植物是什么，以及哪些可以食用。Reading this Native American ethnobotany book, I was just looking up what tribes lived in this region, and what plants they used for what.读这本美洲原住民族民族植物学书籍时，我刚刚查阅了哪些部落曾居住在这一地区，以及他们使用哪些植物来做什么。So I was looking for plants in Texas, and found out that Native Americans around here used yaupon, which is a their only access to caffeine.我在德克萨斯州寻找植物，发现这里附近的美洲原住民使用代茶冬青， 这是他们获得咖啡因的唯一途径。It's the only caffeinated plant native to North America. Yaupon is, it's a native shrub that grows all along the Gulf Coast here in Central Texas.这是北美本土唯一含有咖啡因的植物。代茶冬青是一种原生灌木，生长在德克萨斯州中部墨西哥湾沿岸一带。We're about as northwest as it grows, but then all along the Gulf Coast and then up the Atlantic coast to Virginia.它们大约生长在西北方向，然后沿着墨西哥湾海岸一路延伸，再沿着大西洋海岸一直到弗吉尼亚州。It's an evergreen, has a little red berries in the wintertime, and as I said, it's the only caffeinated plant native to the US.它是一种常绿植物，冬天会结出小小的红色浆果，而且正如我所说，它是美国本土唯一含有咖啡因的植物。It's very, very hardy. It's a relative of South American yerba mate, which is a really popular caffeinated beverage from South America.它非常非常耐寒。它与南美马黛茶属于同族植物，马黛茶是一种在南美洲非常受欢迎的含咖啡因饮品。Native Americans used to roast it into a really dark tea, and it has kind of a roasty smoky flavor to it. You can treat it all different ways to get all kinds of flavors.美洲原住民过去常常把它烘焙成一种真正的黑茶，带有一种烘焙的烟熏味道。你可以用不同的方式来处理它，以获得各种口味。So all the all the caffeinated teas in the world, like, you know, green tea, white tea, black tea, oolong, pu'erh, like all those teas, they all come from the same plant.世界上所有含咖啡因的茶，比如绿茶、白茶、红茶、乌龙、普洱，都来自同一种植物。They're like it's the same species of plant, and all those flavors all come from how it's grown, where it's grown and how its processed afterwards.这是同一种植物，所有那些风味都源自其种植方式、种植地点、以及后续的加工方式。So I found out you can pretty much do the same kind of thing with the yaupon too.我发现代茶冬青也可以做类似的事情。

Welcome to Story Time From Space to all of you, in school, at home or at your local library or whatever you may be.欢迎来到太空故事时间，无论你是在校、在家，还是在当地图书馆，或者在其他任何地方。Astronaut Christina Koch is reading a book about space exploration and a future mission to Mars, a book carried aboard a SpaceX rocket to the International Space Station.宇航员克里斯蒂娜·科赫正在读一本关于太空探索和未来火星任务的书，这本书由SpaceX火箭运载至国际空间站。It's a musical storybook delighting children on the ground. Hey-ho, to Mars we'll go--the rocket's on the pad.这是一本能让孩子们开心的音乐故事书。嘿哟，我们要去火星啦——火箭已在发射台上。The astronauts presentation thrilled the book's author. Christina did a fabulous job. She played with it. She sang the verses that needed to be sung.宇航员的展示让这本书的作者激动不已。克里斯蒂娜表现得非常出色，她尽情投入其中，还唱出了需要歌唱的诗句。More than two dozen books have been used for the project presented in several languages including Arabic.该项目使用了二十多本书籍，并以包括阿拉伯语在内的多种语言呈现。By astronaut Hazza AI Mansouri from the United Arab Emirates. He read the story of Khalifa and Amal traveling through space.来自阿联酋的宇航员哈扎·阿尔·曼苏里读了哈利法和阿马尔穿越太空的故事。Many astronauts are used to reading to their own children at home.许多宇航员习惯在家里给孩子读书。It's in a different location and it's a little harder because they're floating and it's a little harder to stay in the camera view and all that sort of stuff but no generally they have a really good time doing it.在太空读书是有点难的。宇航员一直处于漂浮状态，要让它们留在相机视野里有点难，诸如此类的情况，但总的来说他们玩得非常开心。A companion series called Science Time From Space shows astronauts doing science experiments.另一个项目“太空科学时间”展示了宇航员进行科学实验的过程。Here they're demonstrating how forces work in a weightless environment.他们在这里演示力在失重环境中的作用。Author Lendroth says her book like others in the program excites the curiosity of its young audience.作者伦德罗思说，她的书和该项目中的其他书籍一样，激发了年轻读者的好奇心。The idea of people pushing boundaries, of being curious about what is beyond their immediate perception. In this case on a musical journey to Mars.人们勇于突破界限，对超出自身直接感知的事物充满好奇。比如“火星音乐之旅”这项活动。The Earth's the blue dot. The Earth's the blue dot. Hey-ho, to Mars we'll go--the Earth's a blue dot. Showing young people the thrill of exploration. 地球是蓝点。地球是蓝点。嘿，你好，火星，我们的地球是个蓝点。向年轻人展示探索的激情。

Science is everything. Science is how society accomplishes being a society.科学就是一切。科学是社会得以成为社会的方式。Science is how everything gets done. It's how we move forward. It's how all our products get built and made better.科学是一切得以实现的方式。科学是我们前进的动力。科学是我们制造所有产品并使其不断完善的途径。We wouldn't be anywhere if we didn't have scientists constantly asking: How does this work? Can I make that? Can I make this better? Science is everything.如果没有科学家不断追问：这是如何运作的？我能制造那个吗？还能怎样改进？我们将一事无成。科学就是一切。Even in high school, I knew I wanted to be an astronaut, but I had no idea what it took to be an astronaut. There's no one path to get to where I am today.早在高中，我就知道自己想成为一名宇航员，但我并不清楚成为宇航员需要付出什么。其实成为宇航员没有一条固定的道路，Some people are scientists, some people are engineers, some people are medical doctors, some people come from the military,有些宇航员还是科学家、工程师或者医生，有些甚至是军人，because what we need as astronauts are people that can do a lot of different things.因为我们需要的宇航员是能够胜任多种工作的人。We need lots of diverse people and we need diversity within a single person.我很需要各种各样的人，也需要每个人具备多样性。I was actually born and raised in Houston and so, having the Johnson Space Center in my backyard always stoked that interest for me,我在休斯顿出生长大，约翰逊航天中心就在我家后院，总是激发着我的兴趣，because I was always aware of what we were doing and what was going on and I spent about six months in space in 2010.因为我一直清楚我们在做什么，也清楚发生了什么，我在2010年在太空待了大约六个月。My ride to and from the Space Station was on the Soyuz spacecraft and I was actually trained as the co-pilot on there.我乘坐联盟号运载火箭往返空间站，实际上我在空间站接受了副驾驶的培训。So, I spent a lot of time in Russia, training and understanding, learning how to fly that spacecraft.我在俄罗斯花了很多时间进行训练和学习，了解并掌握如何驾驶那艘宇宙飞船。We will wake up in the morning. Overnight, the control centers have uplinked a schedule to us and what they want us to do that day is what we do that day.我们会在早上醒来。夜间，控制中心已经向我们上传了一份日程表，他们希望我们当天做什么，我们就做什么。And it could be maintenance. It could be science. It could be rearranging the space station. It could be dealing with stowages.可能是维修、科学研究、重新布置空间站或是处理积载问题。It's just whatever the ground needs to accomplish. And so, you do a little bit of everything in space.地面中心的一切需求都是我们的任务。在空间站要做各种各样的事情。And I remember very distinctly, for about the first month that I was in orbit, I would wake up almost every night feeling like I needed to turn over.我清楚地记得，大约在进入轨道的第一个月里，我几乎每晚醒来时都感觉需要翻身。But that doesn't do any good in space and so, you just sort of shuffle around a bit and go back to sleep.但这在太空中没什么用，你只能稍微挪动一下，然后接着睡觉。Living in space is easy. Coming back, it's pretty hard. You have lots of aches and pains because you haven't walked around for a long time.在太空里生活很容易，不过回地球之后就不那么容易了。你会浑身酸痛，因为你很长时间都没有走动过了。I mean you float in space and so, we do a lot of exercises that keep us healthy, but you haven't sat down for a long time.在太空里我们一直是漂浮的，所以需要做很多锻炼来保持健康，但是很长一段时间都没有坐下来过了。So, it gets uncomfortable to sit down for long periods of time because your body is not used to it. We're still in such early stages of the human spaceflight era.长时间坐着会变得不舒服，因为你的身体还不习惯。我们仍处于人类太空飞行时代的早期阶段。We're starting off relatively slowly, but I think as time passes, we will just get more and more people and countries into space and I think, ultimately, we will be truly a spacefaring world.我们起步相对较慢，但我认为随着时间的推移，将会有越来越多的人和国家的进入太空，我认为，最终我们将成为一个遨游太空的世界。We will be going to other planets and establishing bases and other places to live. I think that is where we're going to end up. 我们将前往其他行星，建立基地和其他居住地。我认为这就是我们最终的归宿。

This may look like an ordinary plastic straw and it may even be like one too, but it is not made of plastic.这看起来可能像一根普通的塑料吸管，但它并非由塑料制成。Cameron Ross started the Celise BioProducts company to produce single-use plastic alternatives from plant materials like these.卡梅隆·罗斯创立了Celise BioProducts公司，利用这些植物材料生产一次性塑料替代品。They are made of polylactic acid known as PLA from corn starches.它们是由玉米淀粉中提取出的聚乳酸(PLA)制成的。We work with food service providers, predominantly larger brands, to help them get quality sustainable and cost-effective solutions, made from plants to start getting rid of single-use plastics.我们与食品服务供应商（主要是大型品牌）合作，帮助他们获得优质、可持续且具有成本效益的解决方案，这些成品由植物制成，以开始淘汰一次性塑料。Single-use plastics such as bottles or straws are major cause of pollution.瓶子或吸管等一次性塑料是造成污染的主要原因。When we throw these away, they end up in a landfill or in the water like rivers.当我们扔掉这些东西时，它们最终会进入垃圾填埋场或像河流这样的水域。According to researchers, it could take up to more than 500 years for them to properly decompose.据研究人员称，它们可能需要超过500年才能完全分解。Ross says he wasn't always so environmentally conscious himself.罗斯说，他以前并没有很强的环保意识。But ever since the hiking trip in West Virginia, when he spent more time picking up trash than enjoying nature, his priorities changed.但自从在西弗吉尼亚州的那次徒步旅行后，他就改变了想法，当时他花在捡垃圾上的时间比享受大自然还多。That meant making biodegradable products that can break down in only a few years.这意味着要制造可在短短几年内降解的生物可降解产品。While many cafes and restaurants are choosing paper products to be more eco-conscious, it isn't cheap.虽然许多咖啡馆和餐馆选择纸质产品是为了更加环保，但其成本并不便宜。Paper straws can cost about eight times more than plastic straws.纸质吸管的价格大约是塑料吸管的八倍。But bioplastic straws cost less than a penny a straw, not even double the price of plastic ones.但生物塑料吸管每根的成本不到一美分，甚至还不到塑料吸管价格的两倍。Another problem with paper straws is that they get soggy.纸质吸管的另一个问题是它们会变软。You don't want to be sipping something that alters your drink or starts to melt while you're drinking.你不会想在喝东西的时候，喝到那种会改变饮品味道或者开始融化的东西。And then you have to get another paper straw, which creates more wastes than needed.然后你必须再拿一根纸吸管，这样产生的废品反而更多。Ross hopes his Washington DC-based company will provide an eco-friendly solution for food service providers.罗斯希望他这家总部位于华盛顿特区的公司能为食品服务供应商提供一个环保解决方案。

Across the gallery, mannequin after mannequin is dressed in some of the most memorable outfits of the Queen's life.展厅内，一个个的立式模特身着女王生前最令人难忘的经典华服。Her wedding dress has been painstakingly restored, and there are shows of diplomatic dressing.她的婚纱经过悉心修复，正与她一系列外交场合礼服一同展出。The 1950s ball gown from her first state visit to America, and a glittering gown for a visit to India, adorned with lotus flower motifs.其中包括她首次出访美国时穿过的 20 世纪 50 年代舞会礼服，以及访问印度时穿着的一条饰有莲花图案的闪亮长裙。Also on display, her peach-coloured dress from the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics. Alongside it is a replica created for the stuntman, who was her body double to parachute into the stadium. Each item tells a story.一同展出的还有她在 2012 年伦敦奥运会开幕式上穿的那件桃红色衣裙。这条裙子旁边陈列着一件专为特技替身演员制作的复制品，当年那位替身演员正是身着它空降到了体育场内。每件展品背后都诉说着一段故事。Many mark significant events in British history. Others show the more private, dressed down moments of a monarch who was an early fashion influencer.其中许多服饰都见证了英国历史中的重大时刻。而另一些则展示了这位君主作为早期 潮流引领者更私密、穿着低调的时刻。
