    I tend to think of myself as pretty quiet and shy.我认为自己是一个安静且容易害羞的人。I like to think I have a good amount of confidence but I kind of keep it reserved. I eat lots and lots of fruits and vegetables.我认为自己其实是很有自信的,但总是不表现出来。我吃很多果蔬。As you can imagine, I waste very, very little in my household, and I really believe that clean eating is a way to a more successful life, or a happier life if you want to put it that way.正如你可以想象的那样,我在家里浪费掉的东西非常少,我真心认为健康饮食是通往更成功生活的途径,或者也可以说是通往更幸福生活的途径。You start the day with a healthy meal, I guarantee you're going to feel better throughout that day and throughout that week.如果你以健康的饮食开始新的一天,我保证,在那一天、甚至在那一周,你都会感觉更好。You'll be more motivated to do better in school, to get a better job, to maybe go workout or be more successful.你会更有动力,在学校取得好成绩,找到更好的工作,也许还会去锻炼,或者变得更成功。And so it's really unfortunate that our food system is set up so: calories are cheap, but the nutrition is expensive.很遗憾,我们的食品体系竟是如此运作:热量高的食物很便宜,但是营养高的食物却很贵。We're looking to change the face of produce to make it really accessible, really affordable for people that really need it.我们希望能够改变农产品的面貌,让真正需要它的人能够买得起。So if you walk down a grocery store aisle and you see perfect looking apple, perfect looking apple, perfect looking apple, imperfect looking apple,如果你在杂货店看到完美无瑕的苹果,也有外观有瑕疵的苹果,meaning it's too big or too small or it has a bruise on it, you wouldn't choose it in a grocery store, and that would get thrown away, right?个头太大或太小,或者表面有瘀伤,在杂货店里你不会选后者,然后它就会被扔掉。We use the perception of, it's not what it looks like, it's what it tastes like.我们秉持的理念是,重要的不是它看起来如何,而是它尝起来怎样。And even the ugly stuff tastes even better than the stuff you would find in a grocery store, because it's not processed, it doesn't have wax on it.就连那些卖相不佳的蔬果,尝起来也比超市里买到的更美味,因为它们未经加工处理,表面也没有打蜡。It's straight out of the grounds, right? So it's even fresher and it tastes even better than the stuff you find in a grocery store.它是直接从地里采摘的,所以比你在杂货店里看到的那些产品更新鲜,味道更好。So our company is called Hungry Harvest. We have three different options.我们公司的名称叫做Hungry Harvest。我们有三种不同的选择。We have an organic, we have a recovered box, and we have an all fruit option.有有机食品,有可回收的盒式产品,还有全水果产品。We sell produce with purpose. We hire people that were formerly in prison.我们带着目标销售农产品。我们雇佣曾经坐过牢的人。We've hired people that were formerly injured or were sick, that are living in homeless shelters that were really looking to get back on their feet, and for a second chance in life. 我们雇佣那些以前受过伤或者是生病的人,他们无家可归,住在收容所里,希望自己能够重新振作起来,获得人生的第二次机会。

    This is in Cambodia when kids are seeing water come out of the ground for the first time in their lives. Also in Cambodia.这是在柬埔寨,孩子们有生以来第一次看到水从地下冒出来。这还是在柬埔寨。This is in Indonesia where women who were watching their kids suffer from malnutrition.这是在印度尼西亚,妇女眼睁睁看着自己的孩子饱受营养不良之苦。These are salt workers which is one of the toughest jobs and it mostly is done by young girls and women.这些是盐工,这是最艰苦的工作之一,主要由年轻女孩和妇女完成。And I was with them, you know, with a health organization because the salt takes a terrible toll on their little bodies.我当时和她们在一起,和一个健康组织一起,因为盐对他们幼小的身体造成了严重的伤害。Annie Griffiths has thousands of photographs she has taken all around the world, one of the first female photographers at the famous national Geographic magazine.安妮·格里菲思在世界各地拍摄了数千张照片,是著名的《国家地理》杂志首批女摄影师之一。In the span of 45 years, she has traveled to over 150 countries and all seven continents.在45年的时间里,她去过150多个国家,足迹遍布七大洲。I've always felt that being a woman was an advantage in my job, both initially getting into photo journalism, and then recognizing that I had half the world pretty much to myself.我一直觉得,作为女性在我的工作中是一种优势,无论是最初进入新闻摄影领域,还是后来意识到我几乎独享了半个世界。I spent about five years doing projects in the Middle East, and many parts of the Middle East and many aspects of their culture are gender separate.我花了大约五年时间在中东做项目,中东的许多地区及其文化的许多方面都是性别分离的。I think that is judged often by the western world, but there again is an opportunity to actually look at it from the women's point of view.我认为西方世界常常对此作出评判,但实际上这也是一个从女性视角去看待它的机会。The women caught by Griffiths' camera survived natural disasters and migrations, discrimination, war, epidemics and famine.格里菲斯镜头捕捉到的这些女性经历了自然灾害、迁徙、歧视、战争、流行病和饥荒后幸存了下来。But she says despite it all, they keep the traditions alive, raise children,grieveand just leave.但她说,尽管经历了这一切,他们依然让传统得以延续,养育子女,承受悲伤,然后悄然离去。So the stories I focus on are where women have found solutions.我关注的故事是女性找到解决办法的地方。It's usually because they come together as a group, and as a group they figure out how to do something better.通常是因为他们以团队形式聚集在一起,并且作为一个团队,他们共同想出如何把事情做得更好。They're the ones planting millions of trees. They're the ones who are you know staying till the last minute after the men leave, and then shepherding their children and sometimes their parents.她们种植了数百万棵树。她们会在男人离开后,一直坚守到最后一刻,照顾她们的孩子,有时也照顾她们的父母。She believes women don't like being victims, and remain hopeful in the grimmest of circumstances.她认为女性不喜欢成为受害者,并且在最严峻的情况下仍保持着希望。And that was the reason why Griffiths decided to found the charity projectRippleEffect Images that founds programs for women in developing countries.这就是格里菲思决定创办慈善项目“RippleEffect Images”的原因,该项目旨在为发展中国家的女性设立各类援助计划。The idea came to her nine years ago when Griffiths saw the data from the United States Agency for International Development on humanitarian aid.九年前,当格里菲思看到美国国际开发署有关人道主义援助的数据时,这个想法便在她脑海中萌生了。Two cents out of every American aid dollar went to programs for women, so 98 went to men's programs.每1美元美国援助资金中,只有2美分用于女性项目,其余98美分则用于男性项目。So I literally called my girl friends who are some of the best photographers in the world, and said, "Look, why don't we learn from the women we observe in the wider world?"我打电话给我那些身为世界顶级摄影师的女性朋友们,然后说:“我们为什么不从在更广阔世界中观察到的女性身上学习呢?”They reported raising over 10 million dollars just in those first six years. So it works you know when you humanize a situation.她们报告说仅仅在最初的六年里就筹集了超过1000万美元。当你将情况人性化处理时,这是行得通的。So you don't talk about the women of Morocco. You show a woman from Morocco and you see the light in her eyes.你不用去谈论摩洛哥的女性,你只要展示一位摩洛哥女性,然后你就能看到她眼中的光芒。But work is not all Griffiths focuses on. She is the mother of two children, and from the very start she promised herself to never part with them for more than two weeks.但工作并非格里菲斯生活的全部。她已是两个孩子的母亲,从最初她就向自己承诺,绝不与孩子们分开超过两周。Most of her work trips with National Geographic lasted at least three months.她在《国家地理》工作时的大部分行程至少持续了三个月。So like their mother, Griffiths's children saw dozens of countries and met thousands of people.像他们的母亲一样,格里菲思的孩子们游览了几十个国家,结识了成千上万的人。I've been traveling with my mom since I was just in her belly, so we've picked up a few stories over the years.从我还在妈妈肚子里的时候起,我就和她一起旅行了,这些年来我们积累了不少故事。We've been to some really remarkable places, feel real highlights over the years.这些年来,我们去过一些非常了不起的地方,真切地感受到了那些精彩时刻。I think that the Middle East is always gonna be really special to me.我觉得中东对我来说永远都会非常特别。In 2008, Griffiths published a book of photo memoirs called A Camera, Two Kids and a Camel that focused on how to reach harmony between work, family and the whole wide world.2008年,格里菲思出版了一本名为A Camera, Two Kids and a Camel的摄影回忆录,该书聚焦于如何在工作、家庭和整个世界之间达成和谐。

No momma, it isn't like that at all.嗨,我叫泰勒,这是橙色天空之泪。不,妈妈 ,根本不是那样的。Dude, I've got to tell you what happened at old man Fletcher's class the other day. I mean this, this is insane.伙计,我得跟你说前几天在弗莱彻老头课上发生的事儿。这简直太疯狂了。So Drive Thru Drama, it's kind of like a Disney ride without the scary animatronics. It's driving and stopping at each actor. It's a live actor.得来速戏剧秀有点像没有吓人电子动画的迪士尼游乐项目。你只需要开车在每个演员面前停下,都是现场表演的演员。They perform a monologue where there are 10 stations and it all comes together to make one story.他们表演一段独白,一共有十站,连起来是一个完整的故事。I came across something I had learned about in theater history called medieval pageant wagons which was common at the time where actors would be on a wagon and they would do their scene and then it would move to the next town or to the next group of audience members.我偶然在戏剧史中发现了中世纪巡游彩车,这在当时很常见,演员们会站在彩车上表演剧目,然后彩车会移动到下一个城镇或下一批观众面前。So, I sort of took that idea and flipped it, where the actor stays in one place and then the audience drives around and hears the rest of the story.我就借鉴了这个想法并把它反过来,让演员待在一个地方,然后观众开车四处转,听故事的其余部分。I was a banker. I've never done anything like this. I don't know that there's ever been anything like this to do before.我曾是一名银行家。我从未做过这样的事,也不知道还有这样的形式。So, it's kind of like some of the things but still it's not. It's entirely different.可能曾经听说过类似的东西,但又完全不同。Part of my job was I would sort through the money and decide if money couldn't be used anymore.我的部分工作是清点这些钱,并决定哪些钱不能再使用了。It's in the game. Okay? All Right. You know, I have a help cushion but it's not enough.我正在游戏中。我有一个缓冲的时间,但根本就不够。Okay, listen. I think we ought to cut our losses, like try to outlast until maybe second place and then…..我认为我们应该及时止损,比如试着坚持到也许第二名...We've never done anything like this before but I'm really looking forward to it.我们以前完全没有看过这种表演,但我真的很期待。We both love theater and any chance to go and see live theater, I was excited about because there hasn't been much this year.我们俩都热爱戏剧,只要有机会去看现场戏剧演出,我都会很兴奋,因为今年这样的机会并不多。Well, I thought when Danielle came to me and said, "I want to do a show," my mind went to monologues.当丹妮尔来找我说“我想搞一个演出”的时候,我的脑海里浮现的是独白。My mind went to plays that are traditionally told by one person at a time, a one-person show but spread out over 10 people.我想起来以前那种一个人讲一个部分的表演,这依然是独角戏,但把整个故事分配给了10个人。And I thought I guess that's possible to do 10 disparate stories that are all linked around one thing, which in this case is a dollar bill with some writing on it.我觉得我们可以讲10个不同的故事,但是这些故事都围绕的是一个主线,在这个例子中就是一张写有字的美元钞票。Make a small change and those sound like pretty big changes to me, pal.做个小小的改变,对我来说就是很大的改变,伙计。Yes, I am going to cue you. So, this car needs to get over to the second actor. They'll be there for just a few moments.我要告诉你们怎么走了。 现在你们的车要开去第二个演员那里。他们只会在那里停留片刻。I'm trying to pace it so there's no accordion happening on the back side. I'll let you wait it from there.我正试着控制节奏,这样后面就不会出现起伏不平的情况了。我会让你从那里等着看后续。This is, I don't know, it looks really fun. You know, and we do like to go to things like this.我不知道,这看起来真的很有趣。我们确实喜欢参加这样的活动。She had a, battery is dead in her car. I ran the air conditioning during the last half hour without the car on.她车里的电池没电了。我在没有启动汽车的情况下开了半小时空调。When they're done, they're going to give you a little bit of a bow.他们表演完之后会微微鞠躬。There's a chance for you to give a little clap and you may move on from there to the next.这个时候你可以鼓掌,然后开到下一个演员那里。

    I feel that us, as the white community, that we hold a very strong responsibility to speak up and be heard.我觉得我们白人群体肩负着重大责任去表达和发声。My name is Jeremiah Hirsch and I am the owner of Electric Pair O' Dice Tattoo in Fredericksburg, Virginia.我叫杰里迈亚·赫希,是弗吉尼亚州弗雷德里克斯堡“Electric Pair O' Dice Tattoo”的老板。Erase the hate is a campaign that we put together to cover up racist and offensive tattoos.“消除仇恨”是我们发起的一项活动,旨在遮盖种族主义和冒犯性纹身。I started to post information and stuff to raise awareness about Black Lives Matter and towards the Black community.我开始发帖来提高人们对“黑人的命也是命”运动以及黑人社区的认识。And in doing so, I had a gentleman that I went to high school with that reached out to me about having a Confederate flag tattoo on his foot that he was embarrassed of and it was hitting him even harder seeing the stuff that I was posting.在此期间,一位高中同学联系了我,他说自己脚上有个邦联军旗的文身,这让他很尴尬,看了我发的帖子后更是自惭形秽。And he asked if we would work with him on covering it up.他问我愿不愿意帮他遮掉这个纹身。So I went to the guys in the shop and I was like, I think this would be a really good opportunity for us to help this guy out and cover it up, document it and then post it and then launch this campaign of Erase the hate.然后我就到店里去跟员工说,我觉得这对我们来说是个绝佳的机会,我们可以帮他遮盖纹身,把这件事记录下来,然后发布出去,接着发起“消除仇恨”的活动。I want to cover up this tattoo that I got a long time ago. I'm getting rid of this heart here with this Confederate flag in it.我想遮掉这个很久以前的纹身。我正在去除这个带有邦联旗帜的心形纹身。The tattoo is free but we ask for a minimum donation for $100 that will go to one of the organizations that we're working with, that goes directly to the Black community.遮掉纹身是免费的,但我们要求至少捐助100美元,这笔钱将捐给我们合作的一个组织,然后直接流向黑人社区。People have really been behind what we're doing. I mean you do have some, like, a handful that are, like, against it.人们一直在背后支持我们的行动。确实有那么一小撮人反对这件事。Their argument is that it's heritage, not hate and that it's a symbolism of, you know, state freedom and stuff like that.他们声称这种南方联邦的纹身是文化遗产,而非仇恨,而且是各州自由的标志。But I feel, you know, not to be disrespectful, but I feel at the same time they're not very educated in the history of what it's behind and what it stands for and what the different declarations of the Confederacy was for. It was to keep and instill slavery.说句难听的,我觉得他们对这些事物背后的历史、代表的意义以及南方联邦各种主张的目的都不太了解。邦联的目的就是维护和巩固奴隶制。From my own experience and convictions that I've had, just seeing daily interactions and stuff like that, showed me my privilege.从我个人的经历和信念来看,仅仅是观察日常的互动之类的事情,就让我意识到了自己的特权。Being a white male in America and seeing the unjust acts and treatment towards the Black community and the huge difference between those two.作为一名美国白人男性,我看到了针对黑人社区的不公正行为和待遇,以及这两个群体之间存在的巨大差异。I wanted to get involved as much as I could.

    Dear tourists and friends:亲爱的游客朋友们:Hello everyone! Welcome to the Yellow River Waterfall Tourist Area in Shaanxi Province. I am your tour guide. It is a great honor to enjoy this magnificent natural wonder with you.大家好!欢迎大家来到陕西省黄河瀑布旅游区,我是你们的导游,非常荣幸能与大家一同领略这雄浑壮阔的自然奇观。The Yellow River, as the mother river of the Chinese nation, not only gave birth to the splendid Chinese civilization but also created many breathtaking landscapes, and the Yellow River Waterfall is one of the most brilliant pearls among them.黄河,作为中华民族的母亲河,它不仅孕育了灿烂的华夏文明,还造就了许多令人叹为观止的景观,而黄河瀑布就是其中最为璀璨的一颗明珠。Before you approach the waterfall, you can hear the thunderous roar, as if the Yellow River is telling us its thousand-year-old stories. The closer you get to the waterfall, the louder the sound. The shocking power seems to penetrate your soul.当您还未走近瀑布,就能听到那如雷般的轰鸣声,仿佛是黄河在向我们诉说着它千年的故事。越靠近瀑布,声音越大,那震撼人心的力量仿佛能穿透您的灵魂。Finally, the Yellow River Waterfall is presented before us. The waterfall is about 50 meters wide and has a drop of more than 30 meters. The surging Yellow River water rushes down from the cliffs, like a giant dragon breaking free and flowing thousands of miles. The splashing water mist fills the air, forming a hazy fairyland.终于,黄河瀑布展现在我们眼前。瀑布宽约 50 米,落差高达 30 多米,滔滔黄河水从悬崖峭壁上奔腾而下,犹如一条巨龙挣脱束缚,一泻千里,溅起的水雾弥漫在空中,形成了一片朦胧的仙境。Standing by the side of the waterfall, you will be shocked by its majestic momentum. The Yellow River water comes with tremendous force, splashing water and roaring waves. Every drop of water seems to contain endless power, and every wave is telling the heroism of the Yellow River. This kind of power makes people marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature.站在瀑布边上,您会被那磅礴的气势所震撼。黄河水以万钧之力汹涌而来,水花四溅,涛声震天。每一滴水珠都仿佛蕴含着无尽的力量,每一道浪花都在诉说着黄河的豪迈。这种力量,让人不禁感叹大自然的鬼斧神工。Below the waterfall is a huge deep pool. The pool water is green and deep, forming a sharp contrast to the yellow color of the Yellow River water. Around the deep pool, there are strangely shaped rocks. Some are like fierce beasts, and some are like kind old people. They seem to be specially arranged here by nature to form a magical picture together with the waterfall.瀑布的下方是一个巨大的深潭,潭水碧绿幽深,与黄河水的黄色形成了鲜明的对比。深潭周围怪石嶙峋,有的像凶猛的野兽,有的像慈祥的老人,它们仿佛是大自然特意安排在这里,与瀑布共同构成了一幅神奇的画卷。In different seasons, the Yellow River Waterfall has different charms. In spring, as the ice and snow melt, the water volume of the waterfall gradually increases. The waterfall is like thousands of horses galloping, with a magnificent momentum. In summer, with abundant rainfall, the Yellow River water is surging. The roar of the waterfall is even more deafening, and the water mist is everywhere, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland. In autumn, with the clear sky and white clouds, the waterfall looks even more magnificent against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds. In winter, there will be peculiar landscapes such as ice hanging and ice waterfall around the waterfall, like an ice and snow world.在不同的季节,黄河瀑布有着不同的魅力。春季,冰雪消融,瀑布水量逐渐增大,瀑布如万马奔腾,气势恢宏;夏季,雨水充沛,黄河水汹涌澎湃,瀑布的轰鸣声更加震耳欲聋,水雾弥漫,让人仿佛置身于仙境之中;秋季,天高云淡,瀑布在蓝天白云的映衬下,显得更加壮美;冬季,瀑布周围会出现冰挂、冰瀑等奇特景观,宛如一个冰雪世界。The Yellow River Waterfall is not only a natural landscape but also carries rich historical and cultural connotations. Since ancient times, countless literati and poets have left magnificent poems here. "The water of the Yellow River comes down from the heaven and rushes to the sea never to return," Li Bai's poem vividly depicts the majestic momentum of the Yellow River.黄河瀑布不仅是一道自然景观,还承载着丰富的历史文化内涵。自古以来,无数文人墨客在此留下了壮丽的诗篇。“黄河之水天上来,奔流到海不复回”,李白的诗句生动地描绘了黄河的雄伟气势。In addition, the Yellow River Waterfall is also a symbol of the Chinese national spirit. Its momentum of moving forward bravely and never retreating inspires generations of Chinese people. During the Anti-Japanese War, the roar of the Yellow River Waterfall was like the cry of the Chinese nation against foreign enemies, inspiring people's patriotic enthusiasm and fighting spirit.此外,黄河瀑布还是中华民族精神的象征。它那勇往直前、永不退缩的气势,激励着一代又一代的中华儿女。在抗日战争时期,黄河瀑布的怒吼仿佛是中华民族抵抗外敌的呐喊,激发着人们的爱国热情和战斗精神。While enjoying the waterfall, you can also taste the local specialties. For example, the mutton noodles in northern Shaanxi. The noodles are chewy, the mutton is tender, and the soup is rich and unforgettable. There are also local red dates, which are big, thick-fleshed, sweet and delicious, and nutritious.在观赏瀑布的同时,大家还可以品尝到当地的特色美食。比如,陕北的羊肉面,面条劲道,羊肉鲜嫩,汤汁浓郁,让人回味无穷。还有当地的红枣,个大肉厚,香甜可口,营养丰富。To allow you to better appreciate the waterfall, there are several viewing platforms here. You can choose different angles according to your preferences to view this wonder.为了让大家能够更好地欣赏瀑布,这里还设有多个观景台。大家可以根据自己的喜好选择不同的角度来观赏这一奇观。During the tour, please pay attention to safety, do not approach dangerous areas, andabideby the regulations of the scenic area. At the same time, take care of the environment and do not litter. Let's jointly protect this beautiful natural landscape.在游览过程中,请大家注意安全,不要靠近危险区域,遵守景区的规定。同时,也要爱护环境,不要乱扔垃圾,让我们共同保护这美丽的自然景观。I hope everyone will have a pleasant and unforgettable time in the Yellow River Waterfall Tourist Area and leave wonderful memories!希望大家在黄河瀑布旅游区度过一段愉快而难忘的时光,留下美好的回忆!Thank you all!谢谢大家!

It has six wonders: "emerald lakes, cascading waterfalls, colorful forests, snowy peaks, Tibetan customs, and blue ice", and is known as the "fairyland on earth".九寨沟位于四川省阿坝藏族羌族自治州九寨沟县境内,是白水沟上游白河的支沟,因为有九个藏族村寨而得名。九寨沟海拔在 2000 米以上,遍布原始森林,沟内分布 108 个湖泊,有“翠海、叠瀑、彩林、雪峰、藏情、蓝冰”六绝,被誉为“人间仙境”。Entering Jiuzhaigou, the first thing that comes into view is the brilliant and colorful forest. Every golden autumn, the trees on the mountain are tinted into various colors by the autumn wind. They are as red as fire, as yellow as gold, and as green as jade. It seems that nature has overturned its palette and painted a magnificent picture for us.走进九寨沟,首先映入眼帘的是那一片片绚丽多彩的彩林。每当金秋时节,山上的树木被秋风染成了各种颜色,红的似火、黄的如金、绿的像玉,仿佛是大自然打翻了调色盘,为我们描绘出一幅美轮美奂的画卷。The lakes in Jiuzhaigou are a great wonder. These lakes are called "Haizi" by the local people. The lake water is blue and clear all year round and is bright and limpid to the bottom. With the change of light and the passage of seasons, different tones and water rhymes are presented. The Five-Flower Lake can be said to be the essence of Jiuzhaigou. In the same water area, you can see colors such as yellowish, dark green, dark blue, and dark cyan. They are mottled and confusing, and extremely colorful. It is too beautiful to be real. There is also the Five-Color Pond. Although it is small in area, under the sunshine, it is colorful and just like a bright gem inlaid on the earth.九寨沟的湖泊更是一大奇观。这些湖泊被当地人称为“海子”,湖水终年碧蓝澄澈,明丽见底。随着光照变化、季节推移,呈现出不同的色调与水韵。五花海可以说是九寨沟的精华,在同一水域中,你可以看到鹅黄、墨绿、深蓝、藏青等色彩,斑驳迷离,绚丽多姿,美得不似人间。还有五彩池,虽面积较小,但在阳光的照耀下,五彩斑斓,就像镶嵌在大地上的一颗璀璨宝石。The waterfalls in Jiuzhaigou are also a sight not to be missed. Nuorilang Waterfall is the widest waterfall in China. The surging water comes from the Nuorilang Sea and flows down from the top of the waterfall like the Milky Way pouring down, with the sound shaking the valley. There is an observation deck opposite the waterfall. Standing on the deck, you can have a panoramic view of the entire waterfall. The majestic momentum will surely shock you.而九寨沟的瀑布也是不容错过的美景。诺日朗瀑布是中国最宽的瀑布,滔滔水流自诺日朗群海而来,经瀑布的顶部流下,如银河飞泻,声震山谷。瀑布对面建有一座观景台,站在台上,瀑布全景尽收眼底,那种磅礴的气势定会让您为之震撼。Jiuzhaigou not only has stunning natural scenery but also has rich Tibetan culture. The Tibetan compatriots here maintain their traditional way of life and unique cultural customs. Their songs, dances, costumes, and architectures are all full of strong ethnic characteristics, adding a profound cultural heritage to this magical land.九寨沟不仅有绝美的自然风光,还有丰富的藏族文化。这里的藏族同胞们保持着传统的生活方式和独特的文化习俗,他们的歌舞、服饰、建筑都充满了浓郁的民族特色,为这片神奇的土地增添了深厚的人文底蕴。While enjoying the beautiful scenery, I also hope that everyone can cherish every plant and tree here and protect this precious treasure bestowed upon us by nature.在欣赏美景的同时,也希望大家能够爱护这里的一草一木,保护好这片大自然赐予我们的宝贵财富。Now, please follow me and fully devote yourself to the embrace of Jiuzhaigou to feel its magic and beauty!现在,请大家跟随我一起,尽情地投入到九寨沟的怀抱,去感受它的神奇与美丽吧!I hope everyone can have an unforgettable time in Jiuzhaigou. Thank you all!希望大家都能在九寨沟度过一段难忘的时光,谢谢大家!

    This is how these young engineers envision Jacksonville, a coastal city in Florida in the next 100 years.这就是这些年轻工程师对佛罗里达州沿海城市杰克逊维尔未来百年的设想。The model called Agua Prope, meaning clean water, was presented by a team of middle school students from Houston at the Future City Nationals in Washington DC.这款名为Agua Prope的模型寓意为"洁净之水",由休斯顿中学生团队在华盛顿特区举办的未来城市全国总决赛中展示。The students' goal was to build a city with a clean and reliable water supply.学生们的目标是建造一座拥有清洁可靠供水系统的城市。Many members on the Houston team have roots in Karachi, Pakistan's largest and most populated city, where water shortages and access to clean water are a persistent problem.休斯顿队的许多队员都来自巴基斯坦最大且人口最多的城市卡拉奇,那里长期面临水资源短缺和难以获得清洁用水的问题。Karachi right now is very behind, unlike America. A lot of people are on the streets, they don't have water to drink or they're drinking contaminated water needing any money. It's very hard to even like take showers over there.卡拉奇现在非常落后,和美国不一样。很多人流落街头,他们没有水喝,或者只能喝被污染的水,而且身无分文。在那里连洗澡都很难。And now go to Karachi for example, there's a lot of water shortage and power shortage.以卡拉奇为例,那里严重缺水缺电。For example, the water there costs a lot, and sometimes it's contaminated, sometimes which causes problems such as diarrhea, people getting sick and much more, and you don't have water in the house for days.那里的水价格昂贵,而且有时还会受到污染,这会导致腹泻、人们生病等问题,甚至家中几天都没有水可用。The government in Karachi says the city supplies only half of the water it needs daily. The consequences of Pakistan's water problems are tragic.卡拉奇政府表示该市每日供水量仅为需求量的一半。巴基斯坦水资源问题的后果是悲剧性的。UNICEF reports every year 53,000 children die of diarrhea caused by drinking contaminated water.联合国儿童基金会报告称,每年有5.3万名儿童因饮用受污染的水而死于腹泻。Students on the Houston team say their model includes a robust system that monitors supply and demand, storage, filtration, and diversion of conventional as well as flood waters across the Jacksonville landscape.休斯顿团队的学生们表示,他们的模型包含一套强大系统,可监测杰克逊维尔地区常规用水与洪水的供需动态、存储情况、过滤处理及分流调度。Our project is Agua Prope, located in Jacksonville, Florida, so the main problem in Jacksonville are storm surges, hurricanes and floods.我们的项目Agua Prope位于佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔市,该地区主要面临风暴潮、飓风和洪水问题A lot of problems actually internationally going on right now are that many people are not having access to water.当前国际上确实存在许多问题,很多人无法获得水资源。And a lot of people that do have access to water are drinking contaminated water that has like birth defects and like cancer-related issues.许多能获得水的人喝的是受污染的水,这些水会导致出生缺陷和癌症等问题。And they're also a coastal city. So we know how to generate power.他们也在一座沿海城市,所以我们知道如何发电。Organizers say some models are actually implemented. We had a team that actually won the National Finals a few years ago.组织者表示,部分模型已实际投入使用。我们几年前有一支队伍真的赢得了全国总决赛。And then as part of an unrelated mission trip with their church, they actually helped install a water filtration system in the Dominican Republic.后来在一次与教会无关的宣教之旅中,他们实际上在多米尼加共和国帮忙安装了一个水过滤系统。And so we're not only asking our participants to think about these challenges, but also empowering them in their solutions.我们不仅要求参与者思考这些挑战,还让他们有能力去解决这些问题。Agua Prope model won the People's Choice Award based on voting by the general public, and the Best Futuristic City award.Agua Prope模型凭借公众投票赢得了人民选择奖以及最佳未来城市奖。This model calls for technology so advanced, it will be decades before it can be implemented.这一模型需要极其先进的技术,要等到数十年后才能实现。But the students say they hope one day within the next 50 years, their vision of a clean water city will become a reality.但学生们表示,他们希望在未来50年内的某一天,他们所设想的清洁水城能够成为现实。

    Small wooden boxes like these have become a common sight in American neighborhoods. Visitors can take a book or leave a book.像这样的小木盒在美国社区已变得随处可见。访客可以取走一本书或留下一本书。In Indonesia, free libraries are rare, especially in rural communities. But they seemed like a great idea to Nining Dwi Astuti, a civil servant who lives in central Java.在印度尼西亚,免费图书馆很罕见,尤其是在农村社区。但对于住在爪哇岛中部的公务员宁宁·德维·阿斯图蒂来说,这些主意似乎很不错。With the support of local officials and fellow villagers, she built the only registered Little Free Library in the area.在当地官员和乡亲们的支持下,她建成了该地区唯一注册的免费小图书馆。Many people asked how do we borrow a book, who do we return the book to. I said just take it and if you want to returned it, just put it back. They were kind of surprised.很多人问我们如何借书,把书还给谁。我说拿着就好,如果想还回来,放回去就行。他们有点惊讶。Her little blue box was a hit with villagers. It is now a learning hub for local children.她的小蓝箱在村民中大受欢迎,如今已成为当地孩子们的学习中心。I come here to study, read books, and borrow books. Seeing children drawn to her free library, Dwi Astuti decided to take it a step further.我来这里学习、读书和借书。看到孩子们被她的免费图书馆吸引,阿斯图蒂决定更进一步。In the village, the internet is limited. Many people don't have internet at home. They use internet tokens. The quota is also limited.村子里网络有限,很多人家里没有网络,他们使用上网卡,流量也有限制。We took the initiative to install Wi-Fi at home, so children would borrow books in the morning and study there at night.我们主动在家里安装了无线网络,这样孩子们早上就可以借书,晚上就在那里学习。Elsewhere in central Java, a local teacher Ari Hendra Permana repurposed used furniture to set up his own Little Free Library.在爪哇中部其他地区,当地教师阿里·亨德拉·佩尔马纳利用旧家具改造,搭建了自己的免费小图书馆。Nowadays, children seldom read books. Instead, they play games. The target of the library is children.如今,孩子们很少读书,而是玩游戏。图书馆的目标群体是儿童。Since he set up the free library in 2019, children of all ages congregate on Permana's front porch.自2019年他设立免费图书馆以来,各年龄段的孩子都聚集在佩尔马纳家的前廊。Many books are torn and damaged because they are borrowed so often. This one was glued earlier, but now it's torn again.许多书籍因频繁借阅而破损不堪。这个之前粘过,但现在又被撕破了。Ideally, a little free library functions by allowing kids to not only borrow books, but also to donate them, resulting in steady circulation.理想情况下,一个小型免费图书馆的运作方式是,让孩子们不仅可以借书,还可以捐书,从而实现图书的持续流通。But this is difficult to achieve in villages where the literacy level is low.但这在识字率低的村庄难以实现。To overcome the problem, Dwi Astuti and Permana rely on donations and purchase books using their own money.为了解决这个问题,德维·阿斯图蒂和佩尔马纳依靠捐款并自掏腰包买书。I received book donations from friends and colleagues. I also received a grant from the village.我收到了朋友和同事捐赠的书籍,还收到了村里的一笔赠款。To buy books, I have to travel at least 45 kilometers to downtown Cilacap, because there are no book stores around here.为了买书,我至少得前往45公里外的芝拉扎市中心,因为这附近没有书店。For both of them, it's a small sacrifice that makes a big difference for their communities.对他们两人来说,这是为社区带来重大改变的小小牺牲。

    As in any large metropolis, mornings in New York City start like this: small coffee and one bagel please.和任何大城市一样,纽约市的早晨是这样开始的:一小杯咖啡和一个贝果。They come to work rain or shine and are always welcomed by busy New Yorkers: the food cart vendors. Two dollars will buy you a breakfast.无论晴雨餐车小贩都会来工作,而且总是受到忙碌的纽约人的欢迎。花两美元就能买一份早餐。Another popular morning destination is the deli, short for delicatessen, usually a small store that has everything one might need: a small snack selection, some hot food and the obligatory coffee-to-go.另一个受欢迎的早餐去处是熟食店,通常是一家小商店,里面应有尽有:有各种小吃可供选择,还有一些热食,当然也少不了外带咖啡。We've had a lot of famous people come in. All these people are coming so restless alone. And Howard Stern is a customer, but he doesn't drink the coffee.这里很多名人光顾。所有这些人都是行色匆匆,霍华德·斯特恩就是常客,但他不喝咖啡。Coffee first came to New York in the early 1600s, back when the city was called New Amsterdam by its Dutch founders.咖啡最早于17世纪初传入纽约,那时这座城市还被其荷兰殖民者称为新阿姆斯特丹。New York City was really the coffee capital of North America, and the coffee culture of New York City is very distinct because it was a Dutch colony.纽约市曾是北美名副其实的咖啡之都,而这座城市的咖啡文化因曾为荷兰殖民地显得格外独特。By the 1800s stores would sell steaming hot cups of coffee for a few cents. Local rumors and news came for free.到了19世纪,商店会以几美分的价格出售热气腾腾的咖啡,还可以免费听到当地的谣言和新闻。Once paper cups made their entrance, coffee-to-go became a morning routine.一次性纸杯问世后,外带咖啡成了早上的例行公事。We provided an excellent cup of freshly roasted coffee every single day for 100 years. Alexandra Vassilaros is the owner of a coffee empire.100年来,我们每天都提供一杯优质的现烘咖啡。亚历山德拉·瓦西拉罗斯是一位咖啡店主。For three generations, her company has been giving New Yorkers what they need most in the mornings.三代人以来,她的公司一直为纽约人提供他们早晨最需要的东西。Since the 1960s, many New York coffee shop owners have been immigrants from Greece.自20世纪60年代以来,许多纽约咖啡店的老板都是来自希腊的移民。So it's not accidental that one of the most recognizable coffee cup symbols here is an amphora.这里最具辨识度的咖啡杯标志之一是双耳瓶并非偶然。Like yellow taxi cabs, they were a symbol for coffee-to-go, but then Starbucks came along.就像黄色出租车一样,它们是外带咖啡的象征,但后来星巴克出现了。Starbucks has done a very good job of creating a roast profile and roasting notably darker, for example, than many other roasters.星巴克在烘焙工艺上做得非常出色,其咖啡豆烘焙程度明显比其他许多烘焙商更深。And for many years, this was their sole point of differentiation. They had quality coffees and they roasted them very dark.这方面多年来他们一枝独秀。他们有优质的咖啡,而且是深度烘培。And their consumers started to become educated to actually appreciate that.他们的消费者开始逐渐认识到这一点并真正懂得欣赏。For those New Yorkers who prefer to sip their coffee in a less hurried manner, there is Caffe Reggio. Walls are adorned with Caravaggio style paintings.对于那些喜欢悠闲品味咖啡的纽约人来说,雷吉欧咖啡馆是不二之选。墙壁上装饰着卡拉瓦乔风格的画作。Benches are decorated with the Medici family ciphers and the coffee machine here is the oldest in New York.长椅装饰有美第奇家族的徽章,这里的咖啡机是纽约最古老的。At this time it should be, you know, packed with the line inside outside.这个时候应该里外都挤满了人。Caffe Reggio owner Fabrizio Cavallacci has been here for the last 50 years, and so were his parents before he took the helm.雷吉欧咖啡馆老板法布里齐奥·卡瓦拉奇已在此经营了50年,在他接手之前 ,他的父母也在这里经营。Coffee is still made based on traditional Italian recipes. Cafe Reggio has always attracted New York's Bohemian crowd.咖啡依然按照传统的意大利配方制作。雷吉欧咖啡馆一直吸引着纽约的波西米亚人。It's nice to sit down and have a coffee, and I think that I'm sitting here with Bob Dylan or Kerouac or one of the great poets who has come and sat and written here at one of the tables.坐下来喝杯咖啡真好,我觉得自己正和鲍勃·迪伦或凯鲁亚克这样的伟大诗人同桌而坐,他们也曾来过这里,在某张桌子前坐下并写下诗篇。In a classical interior or rushing out of a deli, a cup of coffee remains an integral part of New York City life.无论是在古典风格的室内,还是从熟食店匆匆走出,咖啡始终是纽约市生活中不可或缺的一部分。

    I love my sharks and I start seeing them coming in with these hooks. The hook removal started like anything would start when you love someone.我爱我的鲨鱼,我开始看到它们带着这些鱼钩游过来。当你爱上一个人时,任何事情都会有个开端,摘除鱼钩这件事也不例外。I just wanted to make their lives a little bit better to relieve their pain. With foggy eye, one day she showed up and she had one that was actually inside.我只是想让它们的生活稍微好一点,减轻它们的痛苦。有一天她出现了,眼神迷蒙,原来她体内有一个东西。I would open her jaw and see the hook. And at a certain moment I decided to basically stick my hand in and I pulled the hook out.我会掰开她的嘴,看到鱼钩。在某个时刻,我决定直接把手伸进去,然后把鱼钩拔了出来。But then as soon as she came back, she allowed me to pet her, and from that day on became a shark that would just show up on the dive.但后来她一回来,就允许我抚摸她了,从那天起,她变成了一条会在我潜水时现身的鲨鱼。And all of a sudden I'd feel a pressure on my hip. And I would turn around and she would be, like, leaning in to me and just stop swimming.突然间,我会感到髋部传来一股压力。当我转过身时,发现她正朝我靠过来,然后突然停止了游泳。This change of personality from before the hook and after the hook was very much a light bulb for me. When I remove the hooks, I feel happy, satisfied and relieved.取钩子前后性格的转变启发了我。当我取下钩子时,我感到开心、满足且如释重负。And then the other thing I noticed is, as I start removing hooks from my known sharks, other sharks just start showing up with hooks.然后我注意到的另一件事是,当我开始从认识的鲨鱼身上取下鱼钩时,其他鲨鱼也开始带着鱼钩出现。People ask me, "Do they communicate?" And I'm like, "Yes!" They're very accepting.人们问我:“它们会交流吗?”我回答:“当然!”它们非常包容。Sharks in general, in the world, are very tolerant of our presence, entering their world. I wanted to pet a shark from the first moment I saw one.总体而言,在这个世界上,鲨鱼对我们进入它们的世界表现出了极大的容忍。从第一眼看到鲨鱼起,我就想摸摸它。It took a year and some time before the transition between being a diver and then it being a profession and then working with sharks and then finally having a shark in my lap.从一名潜水员过渡到将潜水作为职业,再到与鲨鱼打交道,最后让鲨鱼趴在我腿上,这花了一年多的时间。It's understanding that it's done on the shark's terms, not on mine. Because every time a shark does that, I do realize what a privilege it is.要明白,这是按照鲨鱼的规则来的,而不是我的规则。因为每次鲨鱼这么做的时候,我确实意识到这是多么难得的机会。This is a wild animal and she's giving me full trust. It's a complete abandonment, saying, "In this moment, I trust you. You're not going to hurt me."这是一只野生动物,而它完全信任我。这是一种彻底的托付,意思是:“此时此刻,我信任你。你不会伤害我。”It is something to be absolutely in awe of no matter how many times it happens.无论这种情况发生多少次,都绝对值得让人敬畏。What I've developed is an appreciation for their vulnerability. I've dedicated a lifetime, 26 years, and 25 of those have been spent in the water with sharks.我培养的是对它们脆弱的欣赏。我奉献了一生,26年光阴,其中25年都在水中与鲨鱼共度。We may still be a little bit afraid of sharks, but we need sharks. The sharks are vital for balancing the ecosystems. And this planet survives on the balance of the oceans.我们可能仍对鲨鱼有些许畏惧,但人类需要鲨鱼。鲨鱼对维持生态系统平衡至关重要。而这颗星球的存续依赖于海洋的平衡。They have been affected by our fishing, by our coastal destruction, by our pollution. This is the box of hooks that I've removed through the years.它们受到了我们捕捞活动、沿海破坏和污染的影响。盒子里是这些年来我取下来的鱼钩。Over 300! I think sharks are absolutely beautiful! I love how they seamlessly swim through the water.300多个!我觉得鲨鱼简直太美了!我喜欢它们在水中自如游动的样子。Like my parents taught me, "There are no monsters in the sea, only the ones we make up in our heads."正如我父母教导我的那样:“海里没有怪物,只有我们脑海中臆想出来的怪物。”

We do scientific surveys.但是观鸟是一个更包罗万象的概念,因为我们不仅观察鸟类,还研究它们。我们进行科学调查。Looked like a juvenile to me because I saw an adult fly to the right.这只看起来像只幼鸟,因为我看到一只成鸟飞向了右边。We study their behavior. The one behind me in the pine tree. We travel to see them.

It's just a social thing.你有更多的机会看更多的鸟,而且你还可以和朋友们一起讨论鸟儿,叙叙旧。这就是一种社交活动。Being outside is always rewarding regardless of the weather, regardless of what it is that we get to see, because the outdoors is always a surprise.无论天气如何,无论我们能看到什么,待在户外总会有所收获,因为户外总是充满惊喜。You never know what you're going to find.

And then I went and got a book about birding and realized just howintricateand detailed it really is.这激起了我的兴趣。然后我去买了一本观鸟的书,并意识到观鸟是多么的错综复杂和细致入微。Birding kind of became like a scavenger hunt. And Larry mentioned earlier that birders keep a life list, which is a list of all the birds that they've seen.观鸟变得有点像寻宝游戏。而拉里之前提到过,每个观鸟人都有一份人生清单,上面列有他们看过的所有鸟类。And so, when you start out and everything feels new, you're sort of, you know, adding to that life list and it's growing and it's growing and it just becomes addictive.当你刚开始观鸟,一切感觉都很新鲜时,你会不断往人生清单里添加内容,清单越列越长,而且这会让人上瘾。It's good for your health to be outdoors. It's a very calming experience.待在户外对你的健康有益。这是一种非常平静的体验。But personally, as a former educator, I believe that everybody should be connected to nature because we have to conserve nature.但是就我个人而言,作为一名前教育工作者,我认为每个人都应该与自然建立联系,因为我们必须保护自然。The birds are diminishing. The research shows that we've lost over 3 million birds over the past few decades and that's really scary.鸟类正在减少。 研究表明,在过去的几十年里,我们失去了超过300万只鸟,这真的很可怕。And I think that people aren't going to be aware of that if they're not connected to it.我认为,如果人们不和自然建立联系,他们就不会意识到这一点。In many places, the only legitimate place to go other than the grocery store and the hospital, is the outdoors.在许多地方,除了杂货店和医院,唯一合法的去处是户外。And it's a safe place to be right now as long as you keep your distance from other people.只要你和其他人保持距离,户外就是当下安全的地方。And so, people are going outside in ways that they never have before. And they're noticing things that they hadn't noticed before.人们正以前所未有的方式走向户外。他们也注意到了以前从未留意过的事物。And they are making that connection. And they're finding that birdwatching or birding, as we like to call it, is very relaxing.他们正在与自然建立这种联系。他们会发现观鸟非常令人放松。The basic tools for a birder are binoculars and some kind of field guide so you can figure out what the birds are.观鸟者的基本工具是双筒望远镜和野外指南,这样你就能辨认出鸟类的品种。I really like the Red-headed Woodpecker. That's one of my favorites.我真的很喜欢红头啄木鸟。这是我的最爱之一。I would encourage people to pay attention to birds. There is a whole worldwide community of birders.我鼓励人们关注鸟类。我们聚集了全球的观鸟者群体。I mean it's not just here.

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。

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。

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。

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?

    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。

    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。

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?

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。

    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。

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。

    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.

    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。

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。

A huge government consultation received over 116,000 responses, where more than 83% of parents said that online risks heavily outweigh the benefits.

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.

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. Instead, he wants to raise awareness about the charity he is fundraising for – the Lennox Children's Cancer Fund. Harry has raised nearly $7,000 so far.不过哈里一再表示,这次特技表演的焦点不应该在他身上。他希望大家多关注他为之筹款的慈善项目——伦诺克斯儿童癌症基金。目前,哈里已经筹集了将近 7000 美元。The 98-year-old plans to continue to work with his physiotherapist, with his sights now set on completing the London Marathon.这位 98 的老人计划继续配合理疗师进行训练,他现在的目标是完成伦敦马拉松。

    第3058期:Choosing the right yoghurt

    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。

    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。

    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。

    第3051期:Breathwork techniques to reduce stress

    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。
