China Holds V-Day Commemoration中国举办庆祝反法西斯战争胜利80周年纪念活动September 3, 2025 [Photo/CGTN]2025年9月3号，中国环球电视网CGTN发布了一条标题为China Holds V-Day Commemoration的新闻。hold这个词用的很地道。在英文中：举办一场活动的“举办”就可以用hold。V-Day其实是Victory Day的缩写，也就是胜利日，在这里指“中国人民抗日战争暨反法西斯战争胜利80周年纪念日”。commemoration (读音/kəˌmeməˈreɪʃn/) ，这个词看起来很难，其实就三部分：前缀com-，词根memor和后缀-tion。我们一起来看一下：其中，前缀com-表示“和……一起”，例如community（读音/kəˈmjuːnəti/）意思是“社区”，其实就是大家一起住的地方。词根memor和“记忆”相关，比如memory（读音/ˈmeməri/），意思是回忆、记忆。commemor就是大家一起回忆、纪念，加上一个名词后缀-tion，就变成了commemoration，意思是“纪念活动”。中间这个字母“a”只是起发音上的连接作用。所以，V-Day commemoration在这里是指中国人民抗日战争暨反法西斯战争胜利80周年纪念活动。那新闻标题China Holds V-Day Commemoration的意思就是中国举办庆祝反法西斯战争胜利80周年纪念活动。⏩Language Note2025年9月3日，中国在天安门广场举行了阅兵仪式。值得注意的是，在中国的英文新闻网站报道里，“阅兵”一词几乎都是用的V-Day parade，而外媒一般都会用military parade（军事游行）。新闻来源：CGTN02. Putin: Russia will Reciprocate Visa-free Policy for Chinese普京：俄将对等实施对华免签政策September 5, 2025 [Photo/Agencies]2025年9月5号，中国环球电视网CGTN发布了一条标题为Putin: Russia will Reciprocate Visa-free Policy for Chinese的新闻。Putin是指现任俄罗斯总统普京。在新闻标题中，人名Putin后边直接加了冒号，这是一个英文新闻标题的固定用法，表示后面这句话是这个人的观点；它就等于Putin said（普京说）。那Putin到底说什么了呢？Putin said, Russia will reciprocate.Russia（读音/ˈrʌʃə/）是俄国的意思。reciprocate（读音/rɪˈsɪprəkeɪt/）意思是“回报”，在政治和外交新闻中会经常见到。首先，它的前缀re-在英文单词中很常见，是“往回”的意思。其次，recipro的“pro”表示“向前”（forward），再加上动词后缀-cate，就变成了reciprocate。别人向前给你的好处你再给回去，就是“回报”。所以reciprocate的意思就是“回报，或者两国之间互惠互利”。回报什么呢？Visa-free policy，我们可以把这个词组拆开来看。free大家很熟悉，就是免费的意思，那么“...free”就是“免掉……”。visa（读音/ˈviːzə/）是签证的意思。policy（读音/ˈpɑːləsi/）是政策。那么合起来visa-free policy，意思就是“免签政策”。接下来，我们再回看新闻标题——reciprocate visa-free policy。reciprocate这个词在这里用的很妙。之所以用reciprocate，是因为在这条新闻报道之前，中国宣布试行对俄罗斯免签政策；在这个基础上，俄罗斯总统普京表态要回报我们的免签政策，所以才用reciprocate一词。总的来看，新闻标题Putin: Russia will Reciprocate Visa-free Policy for Chinese就可以翻译为——普京：俄将对等实施对华免签政策。新闻来源：CGTN03. SpaceX Launches 24 Starlink Satellites to Orbit from CaliforniaSpaceX从加利福尼亚州发射24颗星链卫星进入轨道August 30, 2025 [Photo/SpaceX]2025年8月30号，Space X（马斯克创立的航天公司）发布了一条标题为SpaceX Launches 24 Starlink Satellites to Orbit from California的新闻。从标题中我们可以直接得知，这条新闻是在说SpaceX 做了一件事——launches 24 Starlink satellites to orbit。launch（读音/lɔ: ntʃ/）是指“发射，把什么东西送上太空”。It means to send something into the space.Starlink 看起来生僻，实则简单。Star是星星，link是链路。那starlink就是“星链”。satellite（读音/ˈsætəlaɪt/）是“卫星”的意思，在科技领域非常常见。例如，satellite TV就是卫星电视。orbit（读音/ˈɔ: rbɪt/）是“轨道”的意思。所以，“lanuch Starlink satellites to orbit”就是“发射星链卫星进入轨道”的意思。它是从哪发射的呢？From California，是从加利福尼亚州发射的。California（读音/ˌkæləˈfɔ: rniə/），加利福尼亚州（美国西部太平洋沿岸的一个州）。SpaceX Launches 24 Starlink Satellites to Orbit from California意思就是SpaceX 从加利福尼亚州发射24颗星链卫星进入轨道。新闻来源：SpaceX04. Young Children Diagnosed with ADHD are Often Prescribed Medication too Quickly, Study Finds研究发现，被诊断患有多动症的幼儿往往被过快开药治疗September 2, 2025 [Photo/CBS News]这是一条来自CBS哥伦比亚广播公司在医疗领域的新闻标题：Young Children Diagnosed with ADHD are Often Prescribed Medication too Quickly, Study Finds这条新闻中主语是young children（小孩子）。那是什么样的小孩子呢？Young children diagnosed with ADHD.ADHD是注意缺陷与多动障碍，就是我们俗称的多动症。diagnose（读音/ˌdaɪəɡˈnoʊs /）是诊断病症的意思，那diagnosed with就是“被确诊患有……疾病”。所以，Young children diagnosed with ADHD就是指“患有多动症的儿童”。我们继续往下看，“are often prescribed medication too quickly”。prescribe（读音/prɪˈskraɪb/）是“开药方、开处方”的意思，“are prescribed medication”就是被动语态——被开药治疗。它的名词形式常出现在药瓶上：Prescription（读音/prɪˈskrɪpʃ(ə)n/）处方药。所以，“are often prescribed medication too quickly”就是指“往往被过快开药治疗”。最后，新闻标题里补充了study finds，意思是“研究发现”。study 除了有学习的意思之外，还可以被翻译为“研究、调查”。整合来看，Young Children Diagnosed with ADHD are Often Prescribed Medication too Quickly, Study Finds 就可以被翻译为——研究发现：被诊断患有多动症的幼儿往往被过快开药治疗。新闻来源：CBS News05. Disney to Pay $10 million to Settle FTC Lawsuit over Collecting Kid's Data迪士尼将支付1000万美元解决联邦贸易委员会关于收集儿童数据的诉讼September 2, 2025 [Photo/ Los Angeles Times]今天的最后一条标题是Disney to Pay $10 million to Settle FTC Lawsuit over Collecting Kid's Data。看完标题，你也许会疑惑：Disney to Pay $10 million，这里为什么没有谓语动词呢？其实这种结构在新闻标题里经常出现，“主语+ to +动词”，表示“将要做某事”。所以“to pay”就等于“be going to pay”。那标题里“Disney to pay $10 million”就是说“迪士尼将要支付1000万美元”。我们继续看，迪士尼将要支付1000万美元干什么呢？To settle FTC lawsuit.settle（读音/ˈset(ə)l/），意思是“解决、结束”。FTC 是美国联邦委员会的缩写。lawsuit（读音/ˈlɔ: su: t/）是“诉讼案件”的意思。所以to settle FTC lawsuit，就是为了解决被FTC起诉的诉讼案件。那么是关于什么的诉讼案件呢？Over collecting kid's data，收集儿童的数据。当然采取的是一种非法途径。Disney to Pay $10 million to Settle FTC Lawsuit over Collecting Kid's Data就是说迪士尼将支付1000万美元以解决因收集儿童数据而被FTC起诉的案件。新闻来源：CBS NewsRead the world, expand your view! 英语读世界，热点拓视野！每周二晚8点我们不见不散！下期见喽！收听方式《儿童视界周刊》将在：微信公众号、苹果播客、喜马拉雅、网易云、小宇宙等平台同步更新。别忘了订阅我们的节目哦！

Book Title: Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, the First Manned Flight to Another World Author: Bob Zimmerman Segment 7: Christmas Eve in Lunar Orbit: Earthrise and a Genesis Reading On Christmas Eve, Apollo 8 entered lunar orbit, firing its SPS engine behind the moon with no communication. The crew initially found the moon's surface disappointing, describing it as "a skull" or a "sandbox." However, they captured the iconic "Earthrise" photograph; Frank Borman took a black and white image, while Bill Anders took the famous color one after scrambling for film. During a historic Christmas Eve telecast—the first from lunar orbit, broadcast in black and white—the astronauts, after much deliberation, read the first twelve verses of Genesis from the Old Testament, aiming to share a message of goodwill to the world.

As an anthropologist, Victor Buchli has one foot in the Neolithic past and another in the space-faring future. A professor of material culture at University College London, his research has taken him from excavations of the New Stone Age site at Çatalhöyük, Turkey to studies of the modern suburbs of London to examinations of life on -- and in service to -- the International Space Station. It is in that later role, as principal investigator for a European Research Council-funded research project on the "Ethnography of an Extraterrestrial Society," that he visits the Social Science Bites podcast. He details for interviewer David Edmonds some of the things his team has learned from studying the teams -- both in space but more so those on Earth -- supporting the International Space Station. Buchli describes, for example, the "overview effect." The occurs when which people seeing the Earth without the dotted lines and map coordinates that usually color their perceptions. "When you look down," he explains, "you don't see borders, you just see the earth in its totality, in a sense that produces a new kind of universalism." He also reviews his own work on material culture, specifically examining how microgravity affects the creation of things. "It is the case within the social sciences, and particularly within anthropology, that gravity is just assumed. And so here we have an environment where suddenly this one single factor that controls absolutely everything that we do as humans on Earth is basically factored out. So how does that change our understanding of these human activities, these sorts of human institutions?" Buchli has written extensively on material culture, serving as managing editor of the Journal of Material Culture, founding and managing editor of Home Cultures, and editor of 2002's The Material Culture Reader and the five-volume Material Culture: Critical Concepts in the Social Sciences. Other books he's written include 1995's Interpreting Archaeology, 1999's An Archaeology of Socialism, and 2001's Archaeologies of the Contemporary Past.

1.  Liftoff: Elon Musk and the Desperate Early Days that Launched SpaceX by Eric Berger, chronicles the turbulent and often precarious genesis of Elon Musk's ambitious rocket company, SpaceX. The narrative begins in March 2006 on Omelek Island, part of the Marshall Islands, where SpaceX prepared for the inaugural flight of its Falcon 1 rocket. Musk, having conceived the idea in 2001 to disrupt the space industry, founded SpaceX in 2002 despite being "laughed out of the room" by experts. He self-educated in rocketry and committed a significant portion of his fortune to the venture, pioneering a vertically integrated approach to manufacturing, building components like the Merlin engine in-house to reduce costs and accelerate development. The first three Falcon 1 launches were failures, each providing critical, hard-won lessons: 1. Launch 1 (March 2006): The Merlin engine ignited, but a corroded bolt, exacerbated by the humid tropical environment, caused a fuel leak and an engine fire, leading the rocket to crash back onto Omelek Island just 30 seconds after liftoff. Musk's philosophy that "failure is an option" guided the immediate post-crash investigation to collect debris and pinpoint the cause. 2. Launch 2 (March 2007): Despite the first stage working perfectly, the second stage, lacking "slosh baffles" (omitted based on computer models to save weight), spun out of control due to fuel sloshing. While it reached space (above 100 km), it failed to achieve a stable orbit, meaning SpaceX was not yet considered a "real rocket company" in the industry. This failure popularized the SpaceX proverb, "always go to 11". 3. Launch 3 (August 2008): Carrying multiple customer payloads, including the ashes of Star Trek's Scotty, this launch again saw a successful first stage. However, an unexpected relight of the first stage engine after separation caused it to bump and knock the second stage off course, killing the mission. This was a profound setback, as Musk had budgeted for only three flights, and the global economy was simultaneously collapsing. With the company nearly out of money and the world in a severe recession, Musk gathered his team, who expected him to announce closure. Instead, he declared they would make one more attempt with the remaining rocket parts, demanding it be ready in six weeks, though six months would have been more realistic. This fourth rocket's journey was not without its own drama: during transport in an Air Force C-17, the first stage imploded due to a pressure differential (SpaceX had used an outdated manual for the aircraft's pressurization). A young engineer, Zack Dunn, heroically crawled inside the crumpling rocket during descent to manually open valves, saving it from destruction. After rapid repairs, the fourth Falcon 1 launched in late September 2008. This time, it achieved orbit, carrying a dummy payload named "Rats". The team's jubilation, screaming "Orbit, orbit" at each other, marked a pivotal moment that Berger describes as "the end of the beginning" for SpaceX. This success, amidst immense technical hurdles, financial desperation, and a global economic crisis, underscored Musk's relentless determination, vertical integration strategy, and acceptance of failure as a learning tool. 1955

Most people are running on a fraction of their true power because their energy is scattered and leaking away. The microcosmic orbit is an ancient Taoist practice that solves this — a simple, natural circuit in your body that stores, refines, and multiplies your life force. It's not some mystical trick reserved for monks. Once you understand how to tap into it, you can use it to charge your whole system, sharpen your mind, and unlock a new level of sexual vitality. In this video, I break down what the microcosmic orbit really is, why it's the missing link in most men's training, and how to start feeling it flow for yourself.Get my FREE Ebook - 3 Techniques for Legendary Ejaculation Control:

On this week's show we take a look at the pros and cons of Low Earth Orbiting Satellites and ask if competition from them could lower your Internet bills. One of our listeners does a good analysis of what it would cost cordcutters to watch every NFL and most College football games. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: Hulu App to Be Phased Out as Disney Is ‘Fully Integrating' Service Into Disney+ Fubo drops 100,000 subscribers in Q2 HBO Max to enforce password-sharing crackdown in Sept.  Fubo readying sports-only plan for 2025 season Amazon Launches 24 Satellites Aboard SpaceX Rocket to Build Its Home Internet Service Other: dbx 510 Subharmonic Synthesizer for Creating Amazing Deep Bass in Your Home Theater LEO (Low Earth Orbit) Satellite Internet On a recent show we talked about High Speed internet eliminating the need for over the air broadcasting. However we understand that not everyone has access to high speed internet. We mentioned Low Earth Obiting (LEO) satellites as an option. With the news that Amazon has begun putting it's network together, we decided to look at the pros and cons of this type of Internet delivery. LEO satellite internet, like Starlink and the upcoming Amazon Project Kuiper, offers several advantages over traditional satellite based internet. Here's a comparison of the benefits: Benefits of LEO-Based Internet Lower Latency: LEO satellites orbit at 200-2,000 km, much closer than geostationary satellites (35,786 km). This reduces round-trip data travel time, resulting in latency of 20-50 ms compared to 600+ ms for geostationary systems. Benefit: Faster response times for gaming, video calls, and real-time applications, closer to terrestrial fiber (10-30 ms). Global Coverage: LEO constellations, with thousands of satellites, provide internet to remote and rural areas where terrestrial infrastructure (fiber, DSL) is unavailable or costly to deploy. Benefit: Connects underserved regions, ships, planes, and isolated locations. Higher Speeds: LEO systems can deliver download speeds of 100-400 Mbps (with potential for more as technology improves) and upload speeds of 10-40 Mbps, rivaling or exceeding many terrestrial broadband connections. Benefit: Supports streaming, large downloads, and multiple users simultaneously. Scalability: LEO constellations can add more satellites to increase capacity and coverage, adapting to demand more flexibly than laying new cables or building cell towers. Benefit: Easier to expand and improve network performance over time. Resilience: Distributed satellite networks are less vulnerable to single points of failure (e.g., damaged cables or local outages) compared to terrestrial infrastructure. Benefit: More reliable in disaster-prone areas or during natural events. Portability: LEO user terminals (e.g., Starlink dishes) are compact and can be set up anywhere with a clear sky view, enabling mobile or temporary use. Benefit: Ideal for travelers, RVs, or temporary sites like construction zones. Limitations of LEO Internet Compared to Traditional Internet: Cost: LEO internet often requires expensive user equipment (e.g., $300-$600 for a Starlink dish) and monthly subscriptions ($50-$150, depending on region/plan). Traditional internet typically has lower upfront costs (e.g., modem/router) and competitive pricing in urban areas. Weather Sensitivity: LEO signals can be affected by heavy rain, snow, or dense cloud cover, though less severely than geostationary systems. Traditional fiber or cable is generally immune to weather-related disruptions. Network Congestion:  In high-density areas, LEO systems may experience reduced speeds if too many users connect to the same satellite or ground station. Traditional broadband, especially fiber, often handles high user density better in urban settings. Line-of-Sight Requirement: LEO terminals need a clear view of the sky, which can be challenging in dense urban areas or locations with tall trees/buildings. Traditional internet (e.g., cable, fiber) doesn't require line-of-sight. Data Caps and Throttling: Some LEO providers impose data caps or throttle speeds during peak usage, whereas many traditional ISPs offer unlimited plans in urban areas. Benefit to traditional: More predictable performance for heavy users. Summary LEO-based internet excels in global reach, low latency, and flexibility, making it a game-changer for remote areas, mobility, and disaster resilience. However, traditional internet (fiber, cable, DSL) often provides lower costs, higher reliability, and better performance in urban areas with established infrastructure. The choice depends on location, use case, and budget, at least for now.

Glenn Dubin is a billionaire hedge fund manager and major figure in New York's high society whose long, troubling relationship with Jeffrey Epstein went far beyond casual acquaintance. Even after Epstein's 2008 conviction for sex crimes involving a minor, Dubin — along with his wife, Eva Andersson-Dubin — kept him close, inviting him into their home, allowing him to spend holidays like Thanksgiving with their children, and maintaining financial and social ties. This wasn't ignorance; it was an active choice to normalize a convicted sex offender in one of Manhattan's most influential households, effectively lending Epstein the legitimacy he needed to remain welcome in elite circles.Dubin's continued embrace of Epstein, despite years of mounting allegations and sworn victim testimony naming him as a participant in Epstein's abuse, reveals a staggering moral blindness — or worse, a conscious decision to protect a friend whose crimes were well-documented. By keeping the door open for Epstein socially, professionally, and philanthropically, Dubin became part of the protective cocoon that allowed Epstein to survive and thrive after his conviction. In doing so, he not only damaged his own reputation beyond repair but also exemplified the elite complicity that kept Epstein's network intact long after it should have collapsed.And that's not even the worst of what Glenn Dubin has been accused of...to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
