U.S. President Joe Biden called the Equal Rights Amendment "the law of the land" on Friday, backing an effort to enshrine the change into the U.S. Constitution more than a century after the guarantee of gender equality was first proposed. 美国总统乔·拜登周五称平等权利修正案是“国法”，支持将这一变化纳入美国宪法，这一努力是在性别平等保障首次提出一个多世纪之后做出的。 "Today, Iaffirmthe Equal Rights Amendment to have cleared all the necessary hurdles to be added to the U.S. Constitution now. “今天，我确认平等权利修正案已经扫清了现在加入美国宪法的所有必要障碍。 The Equal Rights Amendment is the law of the land now. It's the 28th amendment to the Constitution now." 平等权利修正案现在是国法。它现在是第28条宪法修正案。” It was unclear what practical impact Biden's comments might have. The White House issued his statement just three days before he leaves office, handing off to President-elect Donald Trump on Monday. 目前尚不清楚拜登的言论可能产生什么实际影响。白宫在他离任前三天发表了声明，周一将权力移交给候任总统唐纳德·特朗普。 The ERA declares that "equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex." 平等权利修正案宣称“美国或任何州不得因性别而否认或剥夺法律规定的平等权利。” Its supporters say that it is needed to protect against sexual discrimination and would help achieve equal pay, 支持者表示，该修正案有助于防止性别歧视，并有助于实现同工同酬， while opponents argue that the original timetable to have it become part of the Constitution has passed and that the amendment is no longer needed. 而反对者则认为，将其纳入宪法的原定时间表已经过去，该修正案不再需要。 Mexico has agreed to expand support to other Latin American and Caribbean nations as part of a regional migratory response. 墨西哥已同意扩大对其他拉丁美洲和加勒比国家的支持，作为区域移民应对措施的一部分。 The announcement Friday comes days before U.S. President-elect Donald Trump takes office with a promise to carry out mass deportations. 周五宣布这一消息的几天后，美国当选总统唐纳德·特朗普将就职，承诺实施大规模驱逐。 The aid was announced by Mexico's Secretary of Foreign Affairs Juan Ramón de la Fuente after a two-day closed meeting with representatives of 11 countries. 墨西哥外交部长胡安·拉蒙·德拉富恩特（Juan Ramón de la Fuente）在与11个国家的代表举行为期两天的闭门会议后宣布了这项援助。 De la Fuente acknowledged that "significant changes are imminent" in the United States, the primary destination for most migrants traveling through Latin America. 德拉富恩特承认，美国“即将发生重大变化”，美国是大多数穿越拉丁美洲的移民的主要目的地。 A warrant has been issued for the former president of Bolivia.

The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday passed a bill to require the detainment of unauthorized migrants accused of theft and violent crimes. 美国众议院周三通过一项法案，要求拘留被指控犯有盗窃和暴力罪行的非法移民。 It marks the first legislation that President Donald Trump can sign as Congress, with some bipartisan support, swiftly moved in line with his plans to crack down on illegal immigration. 这是唐纳德·特朗普总统可以签署的第一项立法，因为国会在两党的支持下迅速按照他的计划打击非法移民。 The Laken Riley Act is named after a nursing student who was murdered last year by a Venezuelan man. 《莱肯·莱利法案》以去年被一名委内瑞拉男子谋杀的一名护理专业学生的名字命名。 The bill requires a massive ramp-up in U.S. immigration and customs enforcement's capabilities but does not include any new funding. 该法案要求大幅提高美国移民和海关执法能力，但不包括任何新资金。 Meanwhile, the new president has launched a slew of executive orders intended to seal off the border with Mexico to immigration and ultimately deport millions of migrants without permanent legal status in the U.S. 与此同时，新总统推出了一系列行政命令，旨在封锁与墨西哥的边境，阻止移民入境，并最终驱逐数百万在美国没有永久合法身份的移民。 Trump has also canceled refugee resettlement, and his administration has signaled intentions to prosecute local law enforcement officials who do not enforce his new immigration policies. 特朗普还取消了难民安置，他的政府已表示有意起诉不执行新移民政策的地方执法官员。 The Pentagon said Wednesday it has begun deploying U.S. active duty troops to help secure the southern border. AP correspondent Sagar Meghani reports. 五角大楼周三表示，已开始部署美国现役部队，以帮助保卫南部边境。美联社记者萨加尔·梅加尼（Sagar Meghani）报道。 There are no active duty forces working along the border right now. Officials say up to 1,500 may be sent there to join the roughly 2,500 National Guard and Reserve forces who are there. 目前没有现役部队在边境工作。官员们说，可能会有多达1500人被派往边境，加入大约2500名国民警卫队和预备役部队。 They're expected to support Border Patrol agents with things like logistics, transportation, and barrier construction, similar to what they've done in the past under both the Trump and Biden administrations. 他们预计将在后勤、运输和屏障建设等方面为边境巡逻人员提供支持，类似于他们过去在特朗普和拜登政府领导下所做的那样。 It's unclear if they'll end up doing law enforcement, which would put U.S. forces in a dramatic new role unseen in recent history. 目前尚不清楚他们最终是否会执行执法任务，这将使美国军队承担起近代历史上前所未有的重大新角色。

An extremist group leader who orchestrated part of the assault on the U.S. Capitol four years ago defended his role in the attack as he returned to the scene of the crime on Wednesday. AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports. 四年前策划了部分袭击美国国会大厦事件的极端组织头目周三返回犯罪现场时为自己在袭击中的角色辩护。美联社记者哈亚·潘杰瓦尼（Haya Panjwani）报道。 Oath Keepers' founder Stuart Rhodes, the far-right extremist group leader convicted of seditious conspiracy in the January 6th, 2021 attack, has visited Capitol Hill after President Trump commuted his 18-year prison sentence. 誓言守卫者创始人斯图尔特·罗德斯是2021年1月6日袭击事件中因煽动阴谋罪被定罪的极右翼极端组织头目，在特朗普总统赦免其18年监禁后，他访问了国会山。 Rhodes was convicted in one of the most serious cases brought by the Justice Department over the riot that left more than a hundred police officers injured. 罗德斯因这场骚乱被定罪，这是司法部提起诉讼的最严重案件之一，骚乱导致一百多名警察受伤。 Rhodes's appearance came the day after he was released from prison as a result of Trump's order of clemency benefiting the more than 1,500 people charged with federal crimes in the January 6 attack. 罗德斯出庭的第二天，他因特朗普下令赦免1月6日袭击事件中被指控犯有联邦罪行的1500多人而出狱。 Meanwhile, the Proud Boys' former top leader, Enrique Tarrio, and three of his lieutenants were also convicted of seditious conspiracy in the attack. 与此同时，骄傲男孩的前最高领导人恩里克·塔里奥（Enrique Tarrio）及其三名副手也因煽动叛乱罪被判刑。 Tarrio was serving a 22-year prison sentence, the longest of any Capitol riot case, before Trump pardoned him. 在特朗普赦免塔里奥之前，他正在服22年的刑期，这是国会骚乱案中服刑时间最长的一个案件。 He came home to cheers when he landed at a Miami airport. Haya Panjwani, Washington. 当他降落在迈阿密机场时，他受到了欢呼。记者哈亚·潘杰瓦尼在华盛顿报道。 Experts say the extraordinary reversal for rioters who committed both violent and nonviolent crimes four years ago will only embolden extremist groups who've openly called for political violence. Reuters correspondent Freddie Joyner reports. 专家表示，四年前犯下暴力和非暴力罪行的暴徒的惊人逆转只会鼓舞那些公开呼吁政治暴力的极端主义团体。路透社记者弗雷迪·乔伊纳（Freddie Joyner）报道。 House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday defended President Donald Trump's sweeping pardon of January 6 rioters, referring to the 2021 attack as a, quote, "peaceful protest." 众议院议长迈克·约翰逊周三为唐纳德·特朗普总统对1月6日暴徒的全面赦免辩护，称2021年的袭击是“和平抗议”。 This, despite 140 police officers suffering injuries on January 6th and one who died the next day after fighting the rioters. 尽管1月6日有140名警察受伤，第二天一名警察在与暴徒搏斗后死亡，但特朗普还是赦免了这些暴徒。 House DemocraticCaucusChair Pete Aguilar said the pardons posed a danger to public safety. 众议院民主党党团主席Pete Aguilar表示，这些赦免对公共安全构成了威胁。 "These violent offenders are roaming the streets because Donald Trump took these actions." “这些暴力罪犯之所以在街上游荡，是因为唐纳德·特朗普采取了这些行动。” Chad Alan Goldberg, professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin: "What we see, if anything, is a deepening of that partisan divide around January 6, 威斯康星大学社会学教授Chad Alan Goldberg表示：“我们看到1月6日前后党派分歧加深， a deepening division about what it means and how we should understand it. And I think that is going to grow." 关于它的含义以及我们应该如何理解它的分歧加深。我认为这种分歧还会加剧。” Among the people he pardoned were more than 300 whopleadedguilty to either assaulting or obstructing law enforcement, including 69 who admitted to assaulting police with a dangerous or deadly weapon. 在他赦免的人中，有300多人承认袭击或妨碍执法，其中69人承认使用危险或致命武器袭击警察。 Some political extremism experts said the pardons would incentivize pro-Trump vigilantes to commit violence under the belief they'll receive legal immunity if they act in the interests of Trump. Reuters correspondent Freddie Joyner. 一些政治极端主义专家表示，这些赦免将激励支持特朗普的治安维护者实施暴力，因为他们相信，如果他们为特朗普的利益行事，就会获得法律豁免。路透社记者弗雷迪·乔伊纳报道。

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested displaced Palestinians in Gaza be permanently resettled outside the war-torn territory. 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周二建议将流离失所的加沙巴勒斯坦人永久安置在这片饱受战争蹂躏的领土之外。 "You can't live in Gaza right now and I think we need another location. I think it should be a location that's gonna make people happy. “现在你不能住在加沙，我认为我们需要另一个地方。我认为那应该是一个能让人们快乐的地方。 You look over the decades, it's all death in Gaza. This has been happening for years, it's all death. 回顾过去几十年，加沙充斥着死亡。这种情况已经持续多年，全是死亡。 If we can get a beautiful area to resettle people, permanently, in nice homes where they can be happy and not be shot, not be killed, not be knifed to death like what's happening in Gaza." 如果我们能找到一个美丽的地方，永久地安置人们，让他们住在舒适的家中，在那里他们可以快乐，不会像在加沙那样被枪杀、被杀害、被刀刺死。” Trump made the comments at the start of a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu where the two leaders were expected to discuss the fragile cease-fire and hostage deal in the Israeli-Hamas conflict. 特朗普在会见以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡的开始时发表了上述言论，预计两位领导人将讨论哈以冲突中脆弱的停火协议和人质协议。 The president has previously called on Egypt and Jordan to resettle Gazans. Both countries have flatly rejected such proposals. 总统此前曾呼吁埃及和约旦重新安置加沙人。两国都断然拒绝了这样的提议。 The first U.S. military flight to deport migrants from the United States to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, departed on Tuesday. AP correspondent Julie Walker reports. 美军第一架飞机于周二起飞，将美国移民遣送到古巴关塔那摩湾。美联社记者朱莉·沃克（Julie Walker）报道。 The flight from the U.S. to Guantanamo Bay is the first step in what's expected to be a surge in the number of migrants held at the Navy base in Cuba, which was primarily used to detain foreigners associated with the 9/11 attacks. 从美国飞往关塔那摩湾的航班是古巴海军基地关押移民数量预计将激增的第一步，该基地主要用于拘留与9/11袭击有关的外国人。 President Trump has said the facility can hold 30,000. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was assigned to Guantanamo Bay when he was on active duty. He calls it "the perfect place to house migrants." 特朗普总统表示，该设施可容纳30000人。国防部长皮特·海格塞斯在现役期间被派往关塔那摩湾。他称这是“安置移民的最佳场所”。 But Amnesty International's Amy Fischer says sending immigrants to Guantanamo is "cruel and costly" and cuts people off from lawyers and family. 但国际特赦组织的艾米·菲舍尔表示，将移民送往关塔那摩是“残忍且代价高昂的”，并切断了人们与律师和家人的联系。 Trump has been actively deporting with flights to India, Ecuador, Guam, Honduras and Peru. 特朗普一直在积极驱逐移民，他派飞机飞往印度、厄瓜多尔、关岛、洪都拉斯和秘鲁

USAID workers abroad are scrambling to pack up households after the Trump administration abruptly pulled almost all agency staffers off the job and out of the field. AP correspondent Donna Warder reports. 特朗普政府突然将几乎所有美国国际开发署工作人员从工作岗位上撤离后，海外工作人员正忙着收拾家当。美联社记者唐娜·沃德（Donna Warder）报道。 One USAID contractor working in an often violent region in the Middle East speaks of waking up one morning earlier this week and being blocked from access to government email and other systems. 一名在中东一个频发暴力事件的地区工作的美国国际开发署承包商说，本周早些时候的一天早上醒来，他被禁止访问政府电子邮件和其他系统。 And the person says an emergency panic button app on their smartphone had been wiped off, putting the contractor and family in danger because they weren't able to reach the U.S. government for help if needed. 这个人说，他智能手机上的紧急按钮应用程序被删除了，承包商和家人处于危险之中，因为他们无法在需要时联系美国政府寻求帮助。 The Trump administration had assured that the U.S. government would bring agency workers home safely within 30 days, but some fear being stranded in the field and left to make their own way back. Donna Warder, Washington. 特朗普政府曾保证，美国政府将在30天内将该机构工作人员安全带回国，但有些人担心被困在外地，只能自己想办法回去。记者唐娜·沃德在华盛顿报道。 A U.S. federal judge on Wednesday ordered a second nationwide pause on President Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship for anyone born in the United States to someone in the country illegally. 周三，一名美国联邦法官下令在全国范围内第二次暂停特朗普总统的行政命令，该命令旨在终止在美国出生的非法移民的公民权。 U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman said "no court in the country has endorsed" the Trump administration's interpretation of the 14th Amendment. "This court will not be the first." 美国地区法官黛博拉·博德曼（Deborah Boardman）表示，“全国没有任何法院认可”特朗普政府对第十四修正案的解释。“这个法院不会是第一个。” Trump's birthright citizenship order was already on temporary hold because of a separate suit brought by four states where a judge called it "blatantly unconstitutional." 特朗普的出生公民权命令已经暂时搁置，因为四个州提起了另一起诉讼，一名法官称其“公然违宪”。 Twenty-two states in total, as well as other organizations, have sued to try to stop the executive action. 共有22个州以及其他组织提起诉讼，试图阻止行政行动。 The Trump administration asserts children of non-citizens are not subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. and therefore not entitled to citizenship. 特朗普政府声称非公民子女不受美国管辖，因此无权获得公民身份。 President Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday intended to ban transgender athletes from participating in girls' and women's sports. 特朗普总统周三签署了一项行政命令，旨在禁止跨性别运动员参加女孩和女性运动。 The order gives federal agencies wide latitude to ensure entities that receive federal fundingabideby Title IX in alignment with the Trump administration's view, which interprets sex as the gender someone was assigned at birth. 该命令赋予联邦机构广泛的自由度，以确保接受联邦资助的实体遵守第九条，符合特朗普政府的观点，即将性别解释为某人出生时被指定的性别。 Title IX prohibits sexual discrimination in schools, meaning any school found in violation could potentially be ineligible for federal funding. 第九条禁止学校性别歧视，这意味着任何被发现违反规定的学校都有可能失去联邦资助资格。 It is the latest aggressive shift by the Republican president's second administration in how the government views transgender people and their rights. 这是共和党总统第二届政府在政府如何看待跨性别者及其权利方面做出的最新激进转变。 Trump has already ordered the government to define sex as only male or female. The latest order was condemned by trans rights advocates, including the National Women's Law Center. 特朗普已经下令政府将性别定义为男性或女性。包括国家妇女法律中心在内的跨性别权利倡导者谴责了这项最新命令。

Some South African organizations that assist people with HIV are in limbo after the United States put a 90-day freeze on most foreign aid. 在美国对大部分外援实施为期90天的冻结后，一些帮助艾滋病毒感染者的南非组织陷入了困境。 U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said he wants to bring the agency's activities in line with the new government's "America First" agenda. Kate Bartlett reports from Johannesburg. 美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥（Marco Rubio）表示，他希望该机构的活动符合新政府的“美国优先”议程。凯特·巴特利特（Kate Bartlett）在约翰内斯堡报道。 South Africa has the highest number of HIV-positive people in the world, about 8 million, but has also been a huge success story in terms of treatment and preventing new infections. 南非是世界上艾滋病毒感染者最多的国家，约800万人，但在治疗和预防新感染方面也取得了巨大的成功。 That's largely due to the money poured into expert HIV care here, some 17 percent of which comes from a U.S. program called the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR. 这在很大程度上要归功于南非投入到专业艾滋病毒治疗的资金，其中约17%来自美国的一项名为“总统防治艾滋病紧急救援计划”（PEPFAR）的计划。 But a 90-day foreign aid funding freeze is in effect, following an executive order by President Trump last month, while the State Department has issued a waiver to continue paying for "life-saving" services. 但根据特朗普总统上个月的一项行政命令，为期90天的外援资金冻结已经生效，而美国国务院已发布豁免，继续支付“救命”服务的费用。 What that includes remains unclear to many South African organizations that receive funding from PEPFAR. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this week that the waiver was clear. 对于许多接受PEPFAR资助的南非组织来说，这包括哪些内容仍不清楚。美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥本周表示，豁免条款很明确。 "If it saves lives, if it's emergency life-saving aid - food, medicine, whatever - they have a waiver. I don't know how much clearer we can be." “如果它能挽救生命，如果它是紧急救生援助——食品、药品，无论什么——他们都有豁免。我不知道我们还能有多清楚。” The South African government says it was blindsided by the U.S. aid freeze, according to Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi, who convened a meeting about PEPFAR on Wednesday. 南非卫生部长阿伦·莫措阿莱迪（Aaron Motsoaledi）周三召集了一次关于PEPFAR的会议，他表示，美国援助冻结令南非政府措手不及。 Motsoaledi also said he has sought clarification on the waiver. 莫措阿莱迪还表示，他已寻求对豁免条款的澄清。 "If you say American money cannot be used for LGBTQWI+ and we do the counseling and testing and somebody who falls within that category, transgender, tests HIV-positive, can they not be helped? Even if it's lifesaving?" “如果你说美国的钱不能用于LGBTQWI+，而我们进行咨询和检测，而属于该类别的某个变性人，检测出HIV阳性，难道他们就得不到帮助吗？即使这是为了救命？” On Wednesday, a group of health organizations sent a letter to the South African government saying at least 900,000 patients with HIV were directly affected by the U.S. stop-work orders. Kate Bartlett, VOA News, Johannesburg. 周三，一些卫生组织致信南非政府，称至少有90万艾滋病患者直接受到美国停工令的影响。美国之音新闻记者凯特·巴特利特在约翰内斯堡报道。 President Trump's move to freeze most foreign aid has also brought health care services to a halt at refugee camps on the Thai-Myanmar border. Reuters correspondent Fiona Jones reports. 特朗普总统冻结大部分外援的举动也导致泰缅边境难民营的医疗服务陷入停顿。路透社记者菲奥娜·琼斯（Fiona Jones）报道。 A group of Thai medics battled to save the life of elderly Myanmar refugee Adabi. 一群泰国医务人员奋力挽救缅甸老年难民阿达比的生命。 Previously the U.S.-funded International Rescue Committee would have treated her and the tens of thousands of other refugees living in camps on the Thai-Myanmar border. 此前，美国资助的国际救援委员会将为她和生活在泰缅边境难民营的数万名其他难民提供治疗。 But President Trump's freeze on most foreign aid has forced seriously ill patients like Adabi to rely on Thailand's state-run facilities instead. 但特朗普总统冻结大部分外援，迫使像阿达比这样的重病患者转而依赖泰国国营医疗机构。 Last week, the government vowed to support refugee health care following the U.S. aid suspension.

When news spread late last year that the Fermilab National AcceleratorLaboratoryin suburban Chicago was part of a project achieving quantum teleportation, it conjured up scenes from the classic science fiction franchise Star Trek in which the show's characters could beam from one location to another. 去年年底，当有消息传出芝加哥郊外的费米国家加速器实验室参与了一个实现量子隐形传态的项目时，这不禁让人联想到经典科幻系列《星际迷航》中的场景——剧中角色可以从一个地点瞬间传送到另一个地点。 That's not what we're doing here. What we're doing here actually is we're moving information without even physically moving the qubit that contains information. 这并非我们在这里的目的。我们在这里实际做的是，无需物理移动承载信息的量子比特，就能传输信息。 Fermilab scientist Panagiotis Spentzouris is one of the co-authors of a study documenting the advancement of sending or teleporting information or qubit, a unit of quantum computing code. 费米实验室的科学家Panagiotis Spentzouris是这项研究的合著者之一，该研究记录了发送或传送信息或量子比特（量子计算代码的单位）的进展。 Over 40 kilometers through fiber cables, it brings developers one step closer to building a sustainable and widely used quantum internet, which would allow a lot of information to be shared faster and more securely. 它通过光纤电缆跨越四十多公里，让开发者距离构建可持续且被广泛使用的量子互联网更近一步，这种量子互联网能够让大量信息以更快、更安全的方式共享。 Quantum communication has very appealing attributes. I mean, you cannot eavesdrop in a way that will not be detected. 量子通信具有非常吸引人的特性。你无法在不被发现的情况下进行窃听。 What we achieved here with the systems is that we have produced systems that they can continually operate and perform quantum measurements at all times as a system, not just as a single experiment. 我们借助这些系统所达成的成果是，我们制造出了能够持续运行并随时作为系统进行量子测量的系统，而不仅仅是单次实验。 Physicist Maria Spiropulu, based at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California, says quantum teleportation could sustain networks that enhance GPS and speed up and amplify communication at great distances with spacecraft and probes, among many other possibilities. 位于加利福尼亚州帕萨迪纳市的加州理工学院的物理学家Maria Spiropulu表示，量子隐形传态可以维持能增强全球定位系统性能、加快并放大与远距离航天器及探测器通信的网络，还具备许多其他可能性。 While building a new quantum internet would revolutionize the way we share sensitive information, the physical technology to make it all work is still in its infancy. 尽管构建全新的量子互联网会彻底改变我们传输敏感信息的方式，但支撑这一切落地的物理技术目前仍处于起步阶段。 You're trying to make them forward compatible so that when material scientists and condensed matter people give you more instrumentation and devices, more advanced devices that you can plug them in. 你在努力让它们具备向前兼容性，这样当材料科学家和凝聚态物理领域的人员为你提供更多仪器和设备、更先进的设备时，你就能把它们接入使用。 In 2020, the US Department of Energy laid out a blueprint for a national quantum network using its 17 national laboratories, including Fermilab as the central network for the project. 2020年，美国能源部利用其17个国家实验室制定了一份国家量子网络蓝图，其中费米实验室作为该项目的中央网络。 Scientists and researchers say it represents one of the most important technological frontiers of the 21st century and hope to implement it in the next decade. 科学家和研究人员表示，这代表了21世纪最重要的技术前沿之一，并希望能在未来十年将其落地应用。 There has been a lot of investment worldwide and in the US, for I want to say 30, maybe 40 years, it is well funded and explored, and there's both industry and academia and government that has invested. 全球范围内以及美国都有大量投资，我想说大约有30年，甚至可能40年，资金充足且研究深入，产业界、学术界和政府都进行了投资。 But experts say today's technology which only teleports information is still a long way off from realizing the dreams made popular by Star Trek. 但专家表示，如今只能传送信息的技术，距离实现《星际迷航》所普及的梦想仍有很长的路要走。 It doesn't mean that we can beam up Scotty or anybody else or a cat or anything else. 这并不意味着我们可以把斯科特或者任何其他人、或者一只猫、或者其他任何东西传送上去。 We cannot move matter right now, and if we ever manage to do it, it's going to be with a different process. 我们现在还无法移动物质，而如果我们有朝一日能够做到，也得通过一种截然不同的方法。 A process that unlike quantum teleportation still only exists in the realm of science fiction. 这一过程与量子隐形传态不同，目前仍只存在于科幻小说的范畴中。

What if you could control your car, turn on your oven, or sign your name by touching an invisible screen? 要是你能通过触摸一块看不见的屏幕操控汽车、打开烤箱、或是签名，会怎么样？ Ultraleap, a British and California firm, uses ultrasound waves to create the sensation of touch mid-air. A camera tracks hand motions. 英国与美国加州合资的公司Ultraleap利用超声波在空中制造触感。摄像头追踪手部动作。 You can keep your eyes on the road. You can feel the button go click. 你可以让眼睛一直盯着路面。你可以感觉到按钮发出咔嗒一声。 Ultraleap works with museums, car manufacturers, and other industries to create invisible screens in mid-air, and with augmented reality headsets to bring more information to people's experiences. Ultraleap与博物馆、汽车制造商及其他行业合作，在空中打造隐形屏幕，并借助增强现实头显丰富人们的体验感受。 With the pandemic, Ultraleap turned its technology toward touch screens in restaurants and stores, touch screens that some people no longer want to touch. 疫情期间，Ultraleap公司将其技术转向了餐厅和商店中的触摸屏，因为有些人不再愿意触碰这类传统的触摸屏。 People are becoming so much more conscious of what they're touching, particularly in an out of home environment, where they don't have so much control over what they're touching, and what may have touched it before. 人们对自己触摸到的东西越来越在意，尤其是在户外环境中，因为他们对自己触摸的对象以及此前可能接触过它的事物，并没有太多掌控力。 The technology may take a little getting used to. In a car to control music, temperature or the map, there are two gestures to learn. 这项技术可能需要一点时间来适应。在车内控制音乐、温度或地图，有两个手势需要学习。 One is a pinch gesture which is used for selection, and then the other one is what we call the drop the mic gesture, where you just release your hand like that. 一种是用于选择的捏合手势，另一种是我们所说的“扔麦”手势，你只需像那样松开手。 The driver can feel vibrations with the gesture as if you are physically touching something. 司机可以通过手势感受到振动，仿佛真的触碰到了什么东西。 You're feeling little pulses at each increment of the setting. It's a new way of interacting with machines touch free and in the air. 你会在设置的每一次档位变化时感受到轻微的脉冲震动。这是一种无需接触、在空中就能与机器互动的全新方式。

January 28th, 1986, before a television audience, seven passengers aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger took flight from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 1986年1月28日，在电视观众面前，挑战者号航天飞机上的七名乘客从佛罗里达州的肯尼迪航天中心起飞。 Among them was Christa McAuliffe, who was selected in a nationwide search for a teacher to be NASA's first citizen passenger in space. 其中一位是克里斯塔·麦考利芙，她是在全国范围内选拔出来的教师，将成为NASA首位进入太空的普通公民乘客。 I don't think any teacher has ever been more ready to have two lessons in my life. 我认为在我的教学生涯中，从来没有哪位老师像我这样准备好上两节课。 I've been preparing these in September, and I just hope everybody tunes in on day 4 now to watch the teacher teaching from space. 我一直在九月份准备这些内容，现在只希望大家都能在第四天收看老师从太空授课。 Just 73 seconds after takeoff disaster after a rubber seal in one of the shuttle's twin booster rockets failed, triggering an explosion that doomed all on board. 起飞后仅73秒，灾难降临——航天飞机的两枚助推火箭之一的橡胶密封圈失效，引发爆炸，致使机上所有人员全部遇难。 Then president Ronald Reagan eulogized the crew and called them heroes. 随后，罗纳德·里根总统悼念了机组人员，并称他们为英雄。 And while the flight exposed failures in NASA management who ignored safety warnings from scientists, it's widely regarded as planting the seed for shuttle development in today's commercial space flights. 尽管这次飞行暴露了NASA管理层忽视科学家安全警告的失误，但人们普遍认为，它为当今商业太空飞行中的航天飞机发展播下了种子。 Companies like SpaceX have even flown missions to the International Space Station, where on Wednesday astronauts Michael Hopkins and Victor Glover spacewalk to finish installing a European science platform and complete long-term battery upgrades. 像SpaceX这样的公司甚至已经执行了前往国际空间站的任务，周三，宇航员迈克尔·霍普金斯和维克多·格洛弗在那里进行太空行走，以完成欧洲科学平台的安装，并完成长期电池升级任务。 The advancements can further research on Earth observation, robotics, material science and astrophysics. This according to a tweet from the space station's twitter account. 这些进展可进一步推动地球观测、机器人技术、材料科学和天体物理学领域的研究。这一消息来自空间站推特账号发布的一条推文。 Back on Earth, climatologists sounded yet another alarm this week. An estimated 28 trillion metric tons of ice have melted from icesheetsand glaciers since the mid 1990s. 回到地球，气候学家本周再次发出警报。自20世纪90年代中期以来，冰盖和冰川估计已有28万亿公吨的冰融化。 That's 57 percent faster than it was three decades ago, per report scientists published Monday in the journal The Cryosphere. 根据科学家们周一在The Cryosphere期刊上发表的报告，这比三十年前快了57%。 In that time, global sea levels have risen three and a half centimeters, while the global temperature has gone up by one degree Celsius. 在此期间，全球海平面上升了3.5厘米， 而全球气温上升了一摄氏度。 Finally this week, abutcherin Scotland sent a bag of haggis into the atmosphere. 苏格兰的一位屠夫将一袋哈吉斯送入了大气层。 Simon Howie's bag of organ meats climbed more than 32 kilometers before falling back to the ground. 西蒙·豪伊的那袋动物内脏上升了超过32公里，然后才落回地面。 He claims it was the first haggis to reach such heights and says he hopes it inspires children's interest in space. 他声称这是第一份到达如此高度的哈吉斯，并表示他希望这能激发孩子们对太空的兴趣。

Scientists say the developing El Niño is already the strongest ever recorded, with sea temperatures in a key region of the Pacific more than three degrees above average, and this event is not expected to peak until later this year. 科学家表示，目前正在形成的厄尔尼诺现象已达到有记录以来最强水平，太平洋一个关键海域的海水温度比平均水平高出三度以上，而此次厄尔尼诺预计要到今年晚些时候才会达到峰值。 El Niño is a natural climate phenomenon that occurs when unusually warm water develops across the tropical Pacific, disrupting weather patterns around the world. 厄尔尼诺是一种自然气候现象，当热带太平洋出现大范围异常偏暖的海水时便会发生，扰乱全球各地的天气模式。 The Met Office says its impacts are already being felt, with wildfires in Indonesia and low water levels in the Panama Canal restricting international shipping. As it develops, it's expected to bring droughts and wildfires to parts of Australia, South America and southern Africa, while coastal Peru and Ecuador face the threat of torrential rain and flooding. 英国气象局表示，厄尔尼诺现象的影响已开始显现：印度尼西亚发生野火，巴拿马运河水位偏低，使国际航运受到限制。随着厄尔尼诺的进一步发展，预计澳大利亚、南美洲和南部非洲的部分地区将遭遇干旱和野火。与此同时，秘鲁和厄瓜多尔沿海地区面临暴雨和洪水的威胁。

The Sun has set, and you're headed to a train station in Stockholm with your overnight bag. You board the sleeper train, change into your comfortable clothes, enjoy the scenery through the window for a while before laying your head down to rest. Snoring from the other passengers in your shared cabin delays your bedtime, but the gentle motion and white noise eventually send you to sleep. The next morning, just over 12 hours later, you wake up in Germany's second largest city, Hamburg. "It still sounds like a long time, but you go to sleep, and it's such a nice atmosphere on the train," says Julia Senninger, a fan of sleeper trains. 太阳已经落山，您带着过夜行李前往斯德哥尔摩的火车站。 登上卧铺列车，换上舒适的衣服，欣赏一下窗外的风景，然后就低头休息。 共用客舱内其他乘客的鼾声会延迟您的就寝时间，但轻柔的动作和白噪音最终会让您入睡。 第二天早上，12 个多小时后，您在德国第二大城市汉堡醒来。 “听起来还是很长一段时间，但你很快就睡着了，火车上的气氛真好，”卧铺火车的粉丝朱莉娅·森宁格 (Julia Senninger) 说道。 Before budget airlines made flights across Europe so quick and cheap, sleeper trains were a popular way to cover large distances without wasting daylight or paying for a place to stay. After a period of decline, sleeper trains in Europe are making a comeback.Belgian-Dutch company European Sleeper launched the Brussels to Milan route in September 2026 and has announced a new route connecting Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden, scheduled to open in 2028. Other train companies Trenitalia and Nightjet have also announced plans for new international routes. Companies are rushing to meet high demand. 在廉价航空公司提供如此快捷、便宜的穿越欧洲的航班之前，卧铺火车是一种流行的长途旅行方式，无需浪费日光或支付住宿费用。 经过一段时间的衰退后，欧洲的卧铺列车正在卷土重来。比利时-荷兰公司European Sleeper于2026年9月推出了布鲁塞尔至米兰的航线，并宣布了一条连接比利时、荷兰和瑞典的新航线，计划于2028年开通。其他火车公司Trenitalia和Nightjet也宣布了新的国际航线的计划。 公司正在争先恐后地满足高需求。 The rise in popularity is partly due to changing attitudes and increased awareness surrounding climate change. The carbon footprint of an electric-powered train is just a fraction of a flight. But there's more to it. Sleeper train fan Julia Senninger says trains are simply more fun. You meet more people and can have interesting conversations. Cat Jones, founder of the flight-free travel agency Byway, says, "The point of travel is the experience rather than just the arrival." So, people are buying into the idea that the journey to your destination is also part of the trip. Besides the convenience of starting and ending your journey in a city centre, there's also a sense of romance and adventure when you imagine whizzing through unknown landscapes and foreign villages while you sleep. 受欢迎程度的上升部分归因于人们对气候变化的态度的改变和意识的增强。 电动火车的碳足迹只是飞行的一小部分。 但还有更多。 卧铺火车迷朱莉娅·森宁格 (Julia Senninger) 表示，火车更有趣。 你会认识更多的人，并可以进行有趣的对话。 不搭乘航班的旅行社 Byway 的创始人卡特·琼斯 (Cat Jones) 表示：“旅行的重点在于体验，而不仅仅是抵达。” 因此，人们相信到达目的地的旅程也是旅行的一部分。 除了在市中心方便地开始和结束旅程之外，当您想象在睡觉时飞驰穿过未知的风景和外国村庄时，还会有一种浪漫和冒险的感觉。 In Europe, the sleeper train comeback does not come without challenges. Competing with budget airlines, some sleeper train routes have disappeared, even while new ones have launched. Problems with infrastructure, cost and availability mean that the high demand for a more sustainable travel option is not currently being met. 在欧洲，卧铺列车的卷土重来并非没有挑战。 与廉价航空公司竞争，一些卧铺火车线路已经消失，尽管新线路已经开通。 基础设施、成本和可用性方面的问题意味着对更可持续的旅行选择的高需求目前尚未得到满足。

Protesters continue to gather outside the U.S. Agency for International Development on Monday after Elon Musk and President Trump made moves to dismantle the agency charged with delivering humanitarian assistance overseas. 周一，在埃隆·马斯克和特朗普总统采取行动解散负责向海外提供人道主义援助的美国国际开发署后，抗议者继续聚集在美国国际开发署外。 AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports. William Whelan, a retired USAID employee, says that he worked for the agency to help starving people worldwide. 美联社记者哈亚·潘杰瓦尼（Haya Panjwani）报道。美国国际开发署退休员工威廉·惠兰（William Whelan）表示，他为该机构工作是为了帮助全世界的饥饿人民。 "This program helped people not only who faced starvation, but it helped Americans. So I find it hard to believe that Americans wouldn't understand the mutual benefit." “这个项目不仅帮助了面临饥饿的人们，也帮助了美国人。所以我很难相信美国人不会理解这种互惠互利。” A federal judge dealt Trump and Musk their first big setback in their dismantling of the agency, ordering a temporary halt on plans to pull thousands of agency staffers off the job. Haya Panjwani, Washington. 一名联邦法官给特朗普和马斯克在解散该机构的过程中带来了第一个重大挫折，下令暂时停止将数千名机构工作人员从工作岗位上撤下的计划。记者哈亚·潘杰瓦尼在华盛顿报道。 A U.S. district judge found Monday that the Trump administration hasn't fully followed his order to unfreeze federal spending and told the White House to release billions of dollars in funding. AP correspondent Sagar Meghani reports. 一名美国地区法官周一裁定，特朗普政府没有完全遵守他的命令解冻联邦支出，并要求白宫释放数十亿美元的资金。美联社记者萨加尔·梅加尼（Sagar Meghani）报道。 The judge says the White House has violated his order from late last month, noting continued struggles to get federal money for things like early childhood education and HIV research. 法官表示，白宫违反了他上个月底的命令，指出联邦政府继续努力争取资金用于早期儿童教育和艾滋病研究等项目。 He says a broad, categorical and sweeping federal funding freeze is likely unconstitutional and is ordering the administration to release all the money in a suit filed by nearly two dozen states, including Maryland. 他说，广泛彻底的联邦资金冻结可能违宪，并命令特朗普政府在包括马里兰州在内的近二十个州提起的诉讼中释放所有资金。 "Thank goodness for the courts," where Senator Chris Van Hollen says a flurry of illegal Trump actions has drawn a flurry of legal challenges. “感谢法院”，参议员克里斯·范·霍伦表示，特朗普的一系列非法行为引发了一系列法律挑战。 "I've never seen so many temporary restraining orders issued in such a short period of time against the U.S. government." Sagar Meghani, at the White House. “我从未见过在如此短的时间内针对美国政府发布如此多的临时限制令。”记者萨加尔·梅加尼在白宫报道。 President Trump on Monday said he has ordered the treasury secretary to cease production of the one cent coin known as the penny. Reuters correspondent Jillian Kitchener reports. 特朗普总统周一表示，他已下令财政部长停止生产一美分硬币，。路透社记者吉莉安·基钦纳(Jillian Kitchener)报道。 After more than 200 years in circulation, the U.S. penny, the smallest denomination of American currency, may have run out of luck. 在流通了200多年之后，美国货币中最小面额的一美分硬币可能已经没用了。 In a Truth Social post, President Trump said the one cent coin is not worth the metal it's printed on, 在一篇真相社交帖子中，特朗普总统表示，一美分硬币不值它所印的金属价值， saying pennies actually cost more than two cents to make and that he instructed his treasury secretary to stop producing new ones. 他说一美分硬币的制造成本实际上超过两美分，他指示财政部长停止生产新的一美分硬币。 Supporters of the penny have argued that it helps keep consumer prices lower and is a source of income to charities. 一美分硬币的支持者认为，它有助于降低消费价格，是慈善机构的收入来源。 Others say the one cent coin is a nuisance that ends up being discarded. Reuters correspondent Jillian Kitchener. 其他人说，一美分硬币是一种麻烦，最终会被丢弃。路透社记者吉莉安·基钦纳报道。

Trump's ultimatum to Hamas received a mixed reaction from Israelis for whom the release of the hostages remains top priority. VOA's Jeff Caster reports. 特朗普向哈马斯发出的最后通牒在以色列人中引起了褒贬不一的反应，以色列人认为释放人质仍然是当务之急。美国之音记者杰夫·卡斯特（Jeff Caster）报道。 Hamas's spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said Tuesday Trump needs to remember there is an agreement which must be respected by both parties. 哈马斯发言人萨米·阿布·祖赫里周二表示，特朗普需要记住双方必须尊重一项协议。 Jerusalem resident Hagit Herman told the Reuters news agency she thought Trump's intentions may have been good, but the message was wrong. 耶路撒冷居民哈吉特·赫尔曼（Hagit Herman）告诉路透社，她认为特朗普的意图可能是好的，但传递的信息是错误的。 "I think Trump has good meanings, but I think now he's not on it. I think he must go in another way. “我认为特朗普的意图是好的，但现在他已经不同意了。我认为他必须换一种方式。 I think the most important thing is to get back our people to Israel and not push it and not threaten the Hamas because that's not the way." 我认为最重要的是让我们的人民回到以色列，不要强迫他们，不要威胁哈马斯，因为这不是办法。” Trump did say that Israel might want to override him regarding his suggestion the cease-fire be cancelled and said he might speak to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the issue. Jeff Caster, VOA News. 特朗普确实表示，以色列可能想推翻他取消停火的建议，并表示他可能会就此问题与以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡交谈。美国之音新闻记者杰夫·卡斯特报道。 Canada has named a former deputy commissioner with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as the country's new fentanyl czar. 加拿大任命了一位前加拿大皇家骑警副局长，担任该国新的芬太尼沙皇。 Officials hope to show the U.S. it is working to prevent production and distribution of the synthetic opioid. 官员们希望向美国表明，他们正在努力防止这种合成阿片类药物的产销。 Kevin Brosseau has served as an RCMP deputy commissioner and the senior Mountie in the province of Manitoba. More recently, he was deputy national security and intelligence adviser to the prime minister. Kevin Brosseau曾担任加拿大皇家骑警副局长和马尼托巴省高级骑警。最近，他担任总理的国家安全和情报副顾问。 President Donald Trump recently threatened to impose steep tariffs on all goods from Canada, citing the southbound flow of migrants and drugs, including fentanyl. 唐纳德·特朗普总统最近威胁要对所有来自加拿大的商品征收高额关税，理由是移民和毒品（包括芬太尼）向南流动。 Vice President J.D. Vance warned leaders at a Paris summit against killing the growth of artificial intelligence with "excessive regulation." AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports. 副总统J.D.万斯在巴黎峰会上警告各国领导人不要用“过度监管”来扼杀人工智能的发展。美联社记者Karen Chammas报道。 Speaking at the summit in Paris, Vice President Vance said, "We feel very strongly that AI must remain free from ideological bias and that American AI will not be co-opted into a tool forauthoritariancensorship." 副总统万斯在巴黎峰会上表示：“我们强烈认为，人工智能必须摆脱意识形态偏见，美国人工智能不会被利用为独裁审查的工具。” He also used his speech to world leaders, tech bosses and researchers to repeatedly push back against what he called "excessive regulation" of the rapidly growing AI industry. 他还利用对世界各国领导人、科技老板和研究人员的演讲，反复反驳他所谓的对快速发展的人工智能行业的“过度监管”。 Concerns over AI's potential dangers have loomed over the summit, particularly as nations grapple with how to regulate a technology that is increasingly entwined with defense and warfare. I'm Karen Chammas. 对人工智能潜在危险的担忧笼罩着峰会，尤其是在各国努力解决如何监管与国防和战争日益交织在一起的技术之际。我是凯伦·查马斯。 Iraq's top court has thrown out a legal challenge that had temporarily halted three controversial laws passed last month by the country's parliament. 伊拉克最高法院驳回了一项上诉，该上诉暂时中止了该国议会上个月通过的三项有争议的法律。 The measures include an amendment to the country's personal status law to give Islamic courts increased authority over family matters, which critics have said would erode women's rights. 这些措施包括对该国个人地位法的修正，赋予伊斯兰法院在家庭事务方面的更大权力，批评人士称这将削弱妇女的权利。 They also include a general amnesty law that opponents say would allow the release of people involved in public corruption and embezzlement, as well as militants who committed war crimes. 它们还包括一项大赦法，反对者称这将允许释放参与公共腐败和贪污的犯人，以及犯下战争罪的武装分子。 The third bill aimed to return lands confiscated from the Kurds under the rule of Saddam Hussein, which some fear would lead to the displacement of Arab residents. [解析] 第三项法案旨在归还萨达姆·侯赛因统治期间从库尔德人手中没收的土地，一些人担心这会导致阿拉伯居民流离失所。

Tulsi Gabbard, a former U.S. representative with little intelligence experience, was sworn on Wednesday as the top U.S. spy. Reuters correspondent Freddie Joyner reports. 美国前众议员图尔西·加巴德在情报方面经验不多，周三宣誓就任美国最高间谍。路透社记者弗雷迪·乔伊纳（Freddie Joyner）报道。 Gabbard now will oversee the 18-agency intelligence community, including the CIA, and act as President Donald Trump's top adviser on intelligence issues. 加巴德现在将负责监督包括中央情报局在内的18个机构的情报界，并担任唐纳德·特朗普总统的情报问题高级顾问。 With little experience in this area, she was considered to be one of Trump's most controversial picks. 由于在这方面经验不足，她被认为是特朗普最具争议的选择之一。 Yet every Republican besides Senator Mitch McConnell, the party's former leader in the chamber, lined up behind the nominee. 然而，除了共和党参议院前领袖米奇·麦康奈尔参议员之外，所有共和党人都支持这位提名人。 White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about this at her briefing Wednesday. 白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特（Karoline Leavitt）在周三的简报会上被问及此事。 "We're greatly disappointed in any Republican who chooseswillfullyto vote against the president's exceptionally qualified cabinet nominees and picks to lead his America First administration." “我们对任何共和党人故意选择投票反对总统提名的非常合格的内阁候选人和领导美国优先政府的人选感到非常失望。” By comparison, no Democrats or independents voted in favor of Gabbard. 相比之下，没有民主党人或独立人士投票支持加巴德。 Gabbard, a 43-year-old former Democrat, had faced bipartisan questions about past statements seen as supporting U.S. adversaries and lack of experience that would have prepared her to manage a $100 billion budget. 43岁的前民主党人加巴德曾面临两党质疑，她过去发表的言论被视为支持美国对手，而且缺乏管理1000亿美元预算的经验。 That was Reuters correspondent Freddie Joyner.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports. 美国公民自由联盟(ACLU)起诉要求接触2月份飞往关塔那摩的移民。美联社记者哈亚潘杰瓦尼（Haya Panjwani）报道。 Civil rights attorneys have sued the Trump administration to gain access to detained migrants who they say have been flown to Guantanamo Bay and held there without being able to consult lawyers or speak to relatives. 民权律师起诉特朗普政府，要求探视被拘留的移民，他们称这些移民已被空运到关塔那摩湾并被关押在那里，无法咨询律师或与亲属交谈。 American Civil Liberties Union lawyers filed the federal lawsuit in Washington, D.C. 美国公民自由联盟律师在华盛顿特区提起联邦诉讼。 They say this is the first time in U.S. history that the government has detained non-citizens on civil immigration charges at the U.S. naval base in Cuba. 他们说，这是美国历史上第一次在古巴的美国海军基地以民事移民指控拘留非美国公民。 For decades, the base primarily was used to detain foreigners associated with the September 11, 2001 attacks. Haya Panjwani, Washington. 几十年来，该基地主要用于拘留与2001年9月11日袭击事件有关的外国人。记者哈亚潘杰瓦尼在华盛顿报道。 Congo's largest church organizations have met with Rwanda-backed rebels in the country's east to advocate for peace and dialogue after weeks-long fighting. 经过数周的战斗后，刚果最大的教会组织与卢旺达支持的叛军在该国东部会面，倡导和平与对话。 The meeting Wednesday comes weeks after the M23 rebels moved into Goma, the region's largest city, and captured it before advancing deeper into the neighboring South Kivu province. 周三的会议是在M23叛军进入该地区最大的城市戈马并占领该城市几周后举行的，随后深入邻近的南基伍省。 One of the church leaders, Bishop Donatien Nshole, said "the meeting was an opportunity to seek an end to the war as soon as possible, because we remain convinced the solution to this crisis is not military." 教会领袖之一多纳蒂恩·恩索尔（Donatien Nshole）主教表示，“这次会议是寻求尽快结束战争的机会，因为我们仍然坚信，解决这场危机的办法不是军事手段。” The M23 rebels are the most prominent of more than 100 armed groups vying for control of Congo's mineral-rich east. M23叛军是100多个武装团体中最为突出的一个，这些团体争夺刚果矿产资源丰富的东部地区的控制权。

For many people, social media is a normal part of everyday life. It's used to keep in touch, entertain and follow what's happening in the world. But numbers from DataReportal indicate that the average use of social media is around two hours 21 minutes a day. That's nearly 15 hours per week or about 32 days a year! The same report also mentions that people are using social media more passively. This means they're spending a lot of time scrolling on their feed, sending memes and reacting to things with emojis instead of sending messages. Could it be that social media platforms are negatively impacting the way we interact with people, and are they taking time away from us actually being social? 对于许多人来说，社交媒体是日常生活的正常组成部分。 它用于保持联系、娱乐和关注世界上发生的事情。 但 DataReportal 的数据显示，社交媒体的平均使用时间每天约为 2 小时 21 分钟。 这相当于每周近 15 小时或每年约 32 天！ 同一份报告还提到，人们使用社交媒体的方式更加被动。 这意味着他们花费大量时间滚动浏览动态、发送模因以及使用表情符号对事物做出反应，而不是发送消息。 社交媒体平台是否会对我们与人互动的方式产生负面影响，并且它们是否会占用我们实际社交的时间？ One study looked at what happened when social media was deliberately limited. In The effect of self-monitoring limited social media use on psychological well-being, researchers in the United States studied 230 university students. One group was asked to limit social media use to 30 minutes a day, while the other continued without a limit. After two weeks, the group limiting its use reported lower levels of loneliness, depression, anxiety and FOMO. 一项研究着眼于故意限制社交媒体时会发生什么。 在《自我监控限制社交媒体使用对心理健康的影响》一书中，美国研究人员对 230 名大学生进行了研究。 一组被要求将社交媒体的使用时间限制在每天 30 分钟，而另一组则继续无限制。 两周后，限制其使用的小组报告称，孤独、抑郁、焦虑和 FOMO 水平较低。 Sleep is another part of the picture. For many people, scrolling through social media has become part of their bedtime routine when they should be winding down to rest. Research published by the National Library of Medicine has examined the effects of blue light from electronic screens. This light can affect the body's natural sleep-wake cycle and increase alertness. Reducing screen time before bed may therefore help some people prepare for sleep. Better sleep can also provide more energy for work, hobbies and lay the groundwork for more successful and fulfilling face-to-face social interactions. 睡眠是问题的另一部分。 对于许多人来说，浏览社交媒体已经成为他们睡前例行公事的一部分，而此时他们应该放松下来休息。 国家医学图书馆发表的研究检查了电子屏幕蓝光的影响。 这种光可以影响身体的自然睡眠-觉醒周期并提高警觉性。 因此，减少睡前看屏幕的时间可能有助于一些人为睡眠做好准备。 更好的睡眠还可以为工作和爱好提供更多能量，并为更成功、更充实的面对面社交互动奠定基础。 These findings do not necessarily mean that you have to completely quit social media. Instead, it may be worth considering how much time is being spent online, and what that time could be used for instead. Small changes might include moving the social media app away from the home screen, using social media only at certain times, or accessing it through a computer rather than the phone you probably have with you all the time. The idea is not to disconnect from the online world completely, but to create a better balance between online and offline life. Reducing the use of social media could free up time to take part in more rewarding hobbies and encourage you to connect with people in real life rather than through a screen. 这些发现并不一定意味着您必须完全退出社交媒体。 相反，可能值得考虑的是在网上花费了多少时间，以及这些时间可以用来做什么。 小的改变可能包括将社交媒体应用程序从主屏幕移开，仅在特定时间使用社交媒体，或者通过计算机而不是您可能一直随身携带的手机访问它。 这个想法并不是要完全脱离网络世界，而是要在线上和线下生活之间创造更好的平衡。 减少社交媒体的使用可以腾出时间来参与更有意义的爱好，并鼓励您与现实生活中的人而不是通过屏幕联系。

French President Emmanuel Macron will host European leaders Monday for an emergency summit on the Ukraine war after U.S. officials suggested Europe would have no role in any talks on ending the conflict. 在美国官员暗示欧洲没份参与结束冲突的任何谈判后，法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙将于周一召集欧洲领导人就乌克兰战争举行紧急峰会。 Reuters correspondent Emma Jehle reports. Leaders from Germany, Poland, Italy, as well as NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and Ursula von der Leyen and António Costa from the European Union are expected to be at the summit. 路透社记者Emma Jehle报道。德国、波兰、意大利领导人以及北约秘书长马克·吕特、欧盟秘书长乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩和安东尼奥·科斯塔预计将出席峰会。 President Trump stunned European allies last week when he announced he had a call with Russian President Vladimir Putin and would start a peace process. 特朗普总统上周宣布与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京通话并将启动和平进程，令欧洲盟友震惊。 Trump's Ukraine envoy, Keith Kellogg, said on Saturday that Europe would not have a seat at the table for Ukraine peace talks. 特朗普的乌克兰特使基思·凯洛格周六表示，欧洲没份参与乌克兰和平谈判。 Washington had sent a questionnaire to European capitals last week asking what they could contribute to security guarantees for Kyiv and what the size of any European-led force might be, according to a document seen by Reuters. 据路透社看到的一份文件显示，华盛顿上周向欧洲各国首都发送了一份调查问卷，询问他们可以为基辅的安全保障做出什么贡献，以及欧洲领导的部队规模可能有多大。 U.S. officials have insisted they will only settle for a durable peace deal and that Ukraine will be at the table. 美国官员坚称，他们只会接受持久的和平协议，乌克兰也将参与其中。 It was revealed later on Saturday that the U.S. and Russian officials will meet in Saudi Arabia in the coming days to start Ukraine peace talks.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports. 乌克兰总统泽连斯基告诉美联社，他指示他的部长们不要签署一项允许美国获取乌克兰稀土矿的拟议协议。美联社记者唐娜·沃德（Donna Warder）报道。 The proposal was a key part of Zelenskyy's talks with Vice President J.D. Vance on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference on Friday. And Zelenskyy says the offer was too focused on U.S. interests. 该提议是泽连斯基周五在慕尼黑安全会议期间与副总统J.D.万斯会谈的关键部分。泽连斯基表示，该提议过于关注美国利益。 "It's important that Vice President understood me that if we want to sign something, we have to understand that it will work and it will be very positive for both nations and it will bring money and security." “重要的是，副总统要理解我，如果我们想签署某项协议，我们必须明白它会起作用，对两国都非常有利，它将带来金钱和安全。” The White House says the offer was an excellent opportunity and by Zelenskyy not signing it, he's being shortsighted. I'm Donna Warder. 白宫表示，这项提议是一个绝佳的机会，而泽连斯基没有签署，这是他目光短浅的表现。我是唐娜·沃德。 The Vatican says Pope Francis is in stable condition at a hospital being treated for a respiratory tract infection.

As a young man, he had part of his lung removed after an infection and is prone to respiratory issues 教皇于周五入院。年轻时，他因感染而切除了部分肺，因此很容易出现呼吸问题。

Israel's military says its forces will remain in five strategic locations in southern Lebanon after Tuesday's deadline for their withdrawal under a cease-fire with the Hezbollah militant group. 以色列军方表示，根据与真主党武装组织达成的停火协议，在周二的撤军期限之后，其军队将留在黎巴嫩南部的五个战略要地。 Lebanon's government has expressed frustration over another delay. A separate cease-fire in Gaza is also in doubt as the region marks 500 days of Israel's war with Hamas. 黎巴嫩政府对又一次拖延表示沮丧。加沙地区的单独停火协议也充满不确定性，此时正值以色列与哈马斯交战持续500天之际。 Talks are yet to start on the cease-fire's second phase, which would release more hostages and cede the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territory. 停火的第二阶段谈判尚未开始，该阶段将释放更多人质并让以色列军队撤出该地区。 An Israeli official says four bodies are expected to be returned to Israel on Thursday. 一名以色列官员表示，预计周四将有四具尸体返回以色列。 A Delta Airlines plane flipped while landing at Toronto's Pearson Airport and ended up on its roof on Monday, injuring 19 people. AP correspondent Mike Hempen reports. 周一，达美航空的一架飞机在多伦多皮尔逊机场降落时翻倒，机顶着地，造成19人受伤。美联社记者迈克·汉彭（Mike Hempen）报道。 The airport says an incident occurred on a Delta flight from Minneapolis and that all 80 passengers and crew members have been accounted for. Paramedics say three people are critically injured. 机场称，一架从明尼阿波利斯起飞的达美航空航班发生了一起事故，所有80名乘客和机组人员都已找到。医护人员说，三人伤势严重。 Video shows the plane upside down on a snowytarmacas emergency workers hose it down. 视频显示，飞机在积雪的停机坪上翻倒，紧急救援人员用水管冲洗。 It's too early to say what caused the plane to flip, but weather may have been a factor. 现在说飞机翻倒的原因还为时过早，但天气可能是其中一个因素。 The Meteorological Service of Canada says the airport was experiencing blowing snow and wind gusts. 加拿大气象局表示，机场当时正遭遇风雪和阵风。 It's at least the fourth major aviation mishap in North America in the past month. I'm Mike Hempen. 这是过去一个月北美发生的至少第四起重大航空事故。我是迈克·汉彭。 Mexico says it's waiting for a new response from Google to its request that the tech company fully restore the name Gulf of Mexico to its Google Maps before filing a lawsuit. AP correspondent Julie Walker reports. 墨西哥表示，正在等待谷歌对其要求的新回应，墨西哥要求这家科技公司在谷歌地图上完全恢复墨西哥湾的名称，否则将会提起诉讼。美联社记者朱莉·沃克（Julie Walker）报道。 During a news conference Monday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum shared a letter from Google saying the tech company will not change the name after President Trump declared the body of water the Gulf of America. 在周一的新闻发布会上，墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆分享了谷歌的一封信，信中称，在特朗普总统宣布这片水域为美国湾后，这家科技公司不会更改名称。 Sheinbaum says the mapping policy violates Mexican sovereignty because the U.S. only has jurisdiction over around 46 percent of the Gulf, the rest controlled by Mexico and Cuba. 辛鲍姆说，这项测绘政策侵犯了墨西哥的主权，因为美国只对墨西哥湾约46%的地区拥有管辖权，其余地区由墨西哥和古巴控制。 The Mexican president also says, "We will wait for Google's response and if not, we will proceed to court." I'm Julie Walker. 墨西哥总统还表示，“我们将等待谷歌的回应，如果没有回应，我们将诉诸法庭。”我是朱莉·沃克。 Vatican authorities said Monday that Pope Francis has a complex infection in his respiratory system and will require more targeted drug treatment. 梵蒂冈当局周一表示，教皇方济各的呼吸系统感染情况复杂，需要更有针对性的药物治疗。 Officials said the 88-year-old pope is suffering from a polymicrobial respiratory tract infection but gave few details. 官员们表示，这位88岁的教皇患有多种微生物呼吸道感染，但没有透露太多细节。 Experts say that's not uncommon in older people with prior medical problems and should be treatable with the right antibiotics. 专家表示，这种情况在有既往病史的老年人中并不罕见，应该可以用正确的抗生素治疗。

Top U.S. and Russian officials met on Tuesday for landmark talks aimed in part at ending the Ukraine war. AP correspondent Sagar Meghani reports. 美俄高级官员周二举行了具有里程碑意义的会谈，旨在结束乌克兰战争。美联社记者萨加尔·梅加尼（Sagar Meghani）报道。 It was the most extensive contact since before Moscow's invasion nearly three years ago, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, his Russian counterpart and others meeting in Riyadh.

"But ultimately, the Russian side will be indispensable to this effort." 卢比奥说这将是一个漫长的过程，乌克兰将发挥作用。“但最终，俄罗斯方面对这一努力是不可或缺的。” European security expert Nigel Gould-Davies says that much is clear, since the negotiations are basically being conducted on Russia's terms. 欧洲安全专家奈杰尔·古尔德-戴维斯（Nigel Gould-Davies）说，这一点很清楚，因为谈判基本上是按照俄罗斯的条件进行的。 "America hasn't even tried to challenge that" by already suggesting Ukraine will have to give up land and will not join NATO. Sagar Meghani, Washington. “美国甚至没有试图挑战这一点”，已经暗示乌克兰必须放弃土地，不会加入北约。记者萨加尔·梅加尼在华盛顿报道。 A pro-Russian hacker group attacked Italian government websites on Tuesday and what it said was a reaction to a speech by Italian President Sergio Mattarella that compared Russia's invasion of Ukraine to the Nazi's wars of conquest. 一个亲俄黑客组织周二袭击了意大利政府网站，并声称这是对意大利总统塞尔焦·马塔雷拉的讲话做出的回应，马塔雷拉将俄罗斯入侵乌克兰与纳粹的征服战争进行了比较。 AP correspondent Lawrence Brooks reports.

I first heard about Tulsa Remote, I felt like it was kismet. I was thinking about leaving the Bay area where I was living in San Francisco. 我第一次听说塔尔萨远程搬家计划时，觉得这简直是天意。我当时正考虑离开我居住的旧金山湾区。 And so, I was searching around for, you know, different locations like researching where, you know, what's the cost of living like? What is the quality of life like in different cities? 我四处在找新城市，研究那个城市的生活成本是怎么样的？ 不同城市的生活质量有什么差异？ And I looked at all the, kind of, obvious things that I think people migrate from California to, which were Portland, Austin, Seattle. 我研究了所有那种我觉得人们从加州搬去的热门目的地，也就是波特兰，奥斯汀，西雅图。 And, you know, I just kept coming up with the fact that those cities have, kind of, been overplayed at this point. 我越来越发现，有些时候这些城市的好处其实被夸大了。 And when I was doing this research, an article for Tulsa Remote popped up in my news feed, and I thought, like, that's super interesting. 在我进行这项研究时，一篇关于塔尔萨远程搬家计划的文章出现在我的新闻推送中，我想这真是太有趣了。 Ten thousand dollars to move somewhere. But then I was also, had to, like, take a step back and go "Where is Tulsa, Oklahoma?" 一万美元就能搬到别的地方。但随后我也得退一步想：“俄克拉何马州塔尔萨市到底在哪儿？” Tulsa Remote is an innovative program which seeks to bring remote workers from across the country with various diverse skill sets in order for them to have an opportunity to join our community. 塔尔萨远程搬家计划是一项创新项目，旨在吸引来自全国各地、拥有各类不同技能的远程工作者，让他们有机会加入我们的社区。 The program was created as it's truly an additive talent program which brings people with jobs to Tulsa in order to see a better life for themselves and their families. 该项目之所以被创立，是因为它确实是一个增益型人才项目，旨在吸引有工作的人来到塔尔萨，以便为自己和家人创造更好的生活。 I made this list and I said, you know "What do I need? Do I need 700 restaurants? No, I probably need, like, three restaurants. 我列了一个清单：“我需要什么？我真的需要住在一个有700家餐厅的城市里吗？不，我大概只需要三家餐厅。 Do I need all of these bars? No, but I do want some culture. I do want a sense of community. 我需要大城市的灯红酒绿吗？不，但我确实想要一些文化氛围。我需要一种社区的温馨感。 I would like, you know, a reasonable cost of living, the ability to buy a house." 我想要合理的生活成本，能买得起房子。” I never anticipated even when I was flying out here, that it was something that I was seriously considering. 在坐飞机的途中我甚至都没想到我会真的来这里发展。 I was, kind of, like, "This is interesting. I'm going to go with an open mind. I'm going to see what this is about. But probably, like, this is probably not going to happen." 我当时想：“这挺有意思的，我会抱着开放的心态去试试，看看这里有什么机会，也可能跟我想的完全不一样。” And by the end of three days, I was sitting there with another participant that had come to visit and we looked at each other, we said, he was from New York and we said, "Are we doing this? Are we actually going to move to Tulsa, Oklahoma?" 三天结束时，我和另一个搬来这里的人坐在一起，我们面面相觑，他是纽约人，然后问我：“我们真的要搬到俄克拉荷马州的塔尔萨去吗？” Over half of our applications come from California and New York. And those folks are looking for a higher quality of life. They're looking for more space. 我们超过一半的申请来自加利福尼亚州和纽约州。他们都在追寻更高的生活质量。他们想要更宽敞的空间。 They're looking for the ability to purchase a home. They're looking for the opportunity to engage more deeply with the community. 他们在寻求购房的能力，也在寻求与社区更紧密的关系。 They're looking for that presence where they know people by their first names. And that's something that Tulsa can provide. 他们想要那种能直呼人名的亲切感。这些都是塔尔萨可以提供的。 I rolled into town and I immediately had 50 plus connections. I can't imagine, like, trying to make that solo move to a new town as a remote worker. 我刚到镇上，立刻就加了50多个好友。我没法想象，作为一个外地工作者只身一人搬进新城市。 And how do you even start making those connections, right? I mean, we had instant community built-in already for us. 你究竟该如何开始建立起人际关系呢？我们本来就已经有了现成的即时社群。 They helped us, you know, even with simple things. "I don't know how to change my driver's license." You know, like, people from the program would help us with this. 他们可以事无巨细提供帮助。“我不知道怎么换驾照。”这个项目里的人会帮我们处理这种事。 The ten-thousand-dollar headline number for Tulsa Remote grabs attention. 搬来即送一万美元的口号确实吸引了很多关注。 However, the disbursement of the checks really just de-risks the proposition of moving to Tulsa. 但是这笔钱实际上只是降低了迁往塔尔萨这一提议的风险。 We found that people come for many different reasons. Cost of living, quality of life, ease, lack of pollution, all kinds of reasons. 我们发现人们来这里有很多不同的原因：生活成本，生活质量，便捷程度，污染少。 I felt so at home that I have now purchased a home here because it is affordable. 我觉得很自在，所以现在已经在这里买了房子，因为这里房价实惠。 I purchased a home. I got a boyfriend. I mean, I feel like I'm the Tulsa Remote success story. 我买了一套房子，交了一个男朋友。我觉得自己就是塔尔萨远程搬家计划的成功案例

When it comes to magic, there's no logical solution why did that coin vanish from your hand? Then, the next things is, do it again or do something else miraculous. 魔术是无法用逻辑来解释的，比如为什么那枚硬币会从你手里凭空消失？接下来要做的就是，要么再变一次，要么表演点别的神奇的魔术。 Is magic real or is magic an illusion? I'd like to show you what comes to mind just as an example. And we're just going to use these three half-dollars right here. 魔术是真的，还是只是障眼法？我想向你们展示一下我脑海中浮现的想法，仅作为例子。我手上有三个50美分的硬币， Focus on this first one. Three coins, two hands, no sleeves, no bracelets. 先看第一个，三个硬币，两只手，没有袖子，没有手饰。 So, you think of things happening that's impossible, but you're making the impossible possible and you're also creating astonishment. 你想到的是不可能发生的事，但你正在把不可能变成可能，你也在创造奇迹。 So, when you think about magic, you have to think about creativity and most importantly, making the impossible possible. 当你谈到魔术的时候，你会想到创造力，最重要的是，把不可能变成可能。 What is real? So, I got started in magic, not when I was young like most people. 什么是真实的？跟大多数魔术师不同，我不是很小就开始学魔术的。 I got started in magic when I was in graduate school at Penn State studying health education research. 我是在宾州州立大学研究生院学习健康教育研究期间开始学习魔术的。 It was just a hobby for me, something to do to just to pass the time, card tricks. 扑克牌魔术对我来说只是个爱好，是用来打发时间的消遣罢了。 Me and a group of friends, we used to get together and do card tricks. 我和一群朋友经常聚在一起玩扑克牌魔术。 So, I just took a leap of faith and I just said I'm going to give myself one year. 我就鼓起勇气放手一试，给自己一年的时间。 If it doesn't work out in one year, I'll just go back to school, get a job and just continue on with life. 如果一年后还没成功，我就回学校，找个班上，继续过日子。 Well, one year ended up being 16 years and I haven't looked back yet. So, that's when I decided I want to do magic full time. 一年最终变成了16年，而我至今没有回头过。就是在那个时候，我决定要全职从事魔术表演。 I believe that every artist should use their platform to talk about greater issues beyond their art. 我认为艺术家应该在舞台上探讨超越其艺术本身的更宏大的议题。 So, there's some elements in my show that are subtle and then some that are not subtle, that I speak about those issues and I let people into my world and what I think about it. 我的节目里有些元素是含蓄的，有些则不那么含蓄，我会谈论那些问题，让观众走进我的世界，了解我的想法。 For example, I was performing in Iowa one time. It was at a college campus but it was two hours outside, two-and-a-half hours outside of Des Moines, Iowa. 例如，有一次我在爱荷华州演出。演出地点在一个大学校园里，但距离爱荷华州得梅因市有两个半小时的路程。 I get there. I set up. I'm behind the curtain. I peek out. 500 people here. 我到了之后，站在幕帘后面偷偷往外瞥，观众居然有500人。 I was like, "Oh my gosh. Okay, I know exactly what I'm going to say." As soon as the emcee announced me, I walked on stage. 我当时心想：“天呐，我完全知道我要说什么了。”主持人一报出我的名字，我就走上了舞台。 The first words out of my mouth is, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to the show. When I got off the plane this morning, the Black population increased by 100 percent." 我开口说的第一句话是：“女士们，先生们，谢谢各位今天的捧场。今天早上我下飞机时，美国的黑人人口又翻了一番。” Now, it came off as a joke but as they say, there's truth in comedy. That's proof that some stereotypes are true. 现在，这听起来像是个玩笑，但正如人们所说，喜剧中蕴含着真理。这证明了有些刻板印象是真实的。 And it resonated with everyone because they realized, wow, this is not a diverse town. 这引起了所有人的共鸣，因为他们意识到，这不是一个多元化的城镇。 Wow, I've never seen a Black magician before, but we've always been out there. 我以前从没见过黑人魔术师，但是黑人魔术师一直都有。 As a matter of fact, one part of my show, I'll talk about the very first American-born magician by the name of Richard Potter. 事实上，作为演出的一部分，我都会介绍美国的第一位魔术师，理查德·波特。 So, prior to Houdini, prior to Doug Henning, prior to David Copperfield, prior to David Blaine, the very first magician on American soil was a Black man. 在胡迪尼之前，在道格·亨宁之前，在大卫·科波菲尔之前，在大卫·布莱恩之前，美国本土的第一位魔术师是一位黑人。 And that's something to be proud about because people like Richard Potter, Henry Box Brown, Hiawatha Johnson Jr., these are all African American magicians. If I could see it, I could be it. 这是值得骄傲的事情，因为理查德·波特、亨利·博克斯·布朗、小海华沙·约翰逊都是非裔美国魔术师。如果我可以看到他们的成就，我也可以成为他们。

We were at the Union at the university. That's basically a place where people come and relax and you check your emails and your class schedules. 我们是在大学学生会认识的。 那基本上是个大家来放松的地方，还能查收邮件，查看课程表。 And I just happened to see this head of curly hair and I had to get closer to her. 我突然看到了一名卷发靓女，就想走近去看看。 And the closer I got, the better she looked. And I had to introduce myself. So, here we are 20 years later. 离得越近，她看起来就越美。我就开始介绍我自己。到现在我们在一起已经20年了。 I have three kiddos. Isaac is our oldest. Ian is our middle child. Isabella is our youngest. 我们有三个孩子，艾萨克是老大，伊恩是老二，伊莎贝拉是最小的。 She's seven-and-a-half. We homeschool them. We have for the last five-and-a-half years. 伊莎贝拉现在七岁半。我们在家教育他们。过去五年半我们一直如此。 Our children, they do have the best of both worlds in having a Black father and a white mother. In life, they don't have to think about choosing a side. 我们的孩子有黑人父亲和白人母亲，确实能从两种文化中受益良多。在生活中，他们不必考虑要站在哪一边。 I'm originally from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines which is in the eastern Caribbean. 我来自加勒比海东部的圣文森特和格林纳丁斯。 I was evacuated due to a volcano in 1979. I was seven years old at that time, came to United States, lived in New York City for a few years. 我在1979年因火山爆发而被疏散。那时我七岁，来到美国，在纽约市住了几年。 And I also was in the military myself. The only questions that the kids have asked us about race is, "Dad, why is your skin darker than Mom's?" 我也曾在军队服役。孩子们问过的唯一关于种族的问题是：“爸爸，为什么你的皮肤比妈妈的深？” And, so, I went ahead and took a DNA test and I explained all that to them. Daddy is 50 percent Nigerian. Daddy is 25 percent from Sierra Leone. 然后我就会拿出DNA检测报告，跟他们一一解释。我说，爸爸有50%的尼日利亚血统，25%的塞拉利昂血统。 Daddy is 11 percent Scottish. Daddy has four percent Native American. Daddy has three percent Asian. So, I break it down for them. 11%的苏格兰血统， 4%的印第安人血统，还有3%的亚洲血统。我会跟他们慢慢解释。 As far as what we're teaching them, it's what's appropriate for their age. 至于我们教给他们的内容，都是适合他们年龄的。 We don't put them in that environment where they can be harmed or anyone can share their negativity with them. So, we protect our children. 我们不会把他们置于可能会受到伤害或者被传递负面情绪的环境中。我们会保护我们的孩子。 They're still trying to learn how to do their multiplication tables, you know. So, the issue of slavery and systemic racism, you know, that's not at their level at this point. 他们还在努力学习乘法表。关于奴隶制和结构性种族歧视的问题，前还不在他们的认知层面上。 But we're not clueless that it's there. And in due time, as those discussions come into play, he's like you're old enough, you're mature enough, it's time for you to learn this. 但我们并非对它一无所知。到了适当的时候，随着那些讨论逐步展开，他就会说，你年纪够大了，也足够成熟了，是时候让你了解这件事了。 And it may come up because our child has a question, or it may come up because of something they're exposed to. 可能那时候，他们自己会遇到这些问题， 或者可能暴露在那样的环境当中。 Couple months ago, there was protests right here in our neighborhood. 几个月前，我们社区这里就发生过抗议活动。 They chose South Lincoln neighborhoods, where we live, because they felt that they needed to expose South Lincoln. 他们选择了我们居住的南林肯社区，因为他们觉得有必要揭露南林肯的情况。 So, the kids got to see that first-hand right here at the end of our street and what that looked like and it was a peaceful protest. 孩子们在街道尽头亲眼看到了这一切， 看到这些游行是怎么一回事，那是一场和平抗议。 But then when they see something on the news that's violent and people are literally hurting each other and causing vandalism, that's not a peaceful protest. That's literally riots. 可后来当他们在新闻上看到暴力示威， 人们互相伤害，损害公物，那就不是和平抗议了，这完全是暴动。 And so, I've talked to them about knowing that we live in Nebraska and in some regards their exposure looks very, very different than if we lived on the East or the West Coast. 我已经和他们谈过，要知道我们住在内布拉斯加州，他们接触到的东西和东海岸或西海岸的情况可能完全不一样。

People collect all sorts of things. I collect fridge magnets, so my fridge has slowly become a colourful map of everywhere I've been. I also have fond memories of collecting rocks and shells from the beach with my mum when we’d visit the coast in summer. It’s true that some people collect natural objects such as fossils and interesting stones, while others bring home souvenirs from their travels. There are also people collecting miniature versions of real commercial products and tiny replicas of familiar objects, for example scaled-down retro toys, classic board games and action figures. In this way, collectables can be both decorative and functional, giving us something nostalgic to look at or fiddle with when bored. 人们收集各种各样的东西。 我收集冰箱贴，所以我的冰箱慢慢地变成了一张彩色地图，上面写着我去过的任何地方。 当我们夏天去海岸时，我也有和妈妈一起从海滩收集岩石和贝壳的美好回忆。 确实，有些人收集化石和有趣的石头等自然物品，而另一些人则将旅行中的纪念品带回家。 还有人收集真实商业产品的微型版本和熟悉物品的微型复制品，例如缩小版复古玩具、经典棋盘游戏和动作玩偶。 这样，收藏品就可以兼具装饰性和功能性，让我们在无聊时可以看看或摆弄一些怀旧的东西。 But why do people have such a strong desire to collect things? One explanation is that collecting gives us a sense of order and achievement. Happiful, a mental health and wellbeing magazine, wrote that adding to a collection creates a sense of progress and accomplishment. According to an article published in the Journal of Consumer Research, titled Seeking Structure in Collections: Desire for Control Motivates Engagement in Collecting, collecting can help people feel more in control. It explains that collections can become an extension of our identity. The things we collect reflect our hobbies, interests and loyalties. 但为什么人们有如此强烈的收藏欲望呢？ 一种解释是，收藏给我们一种秩序感和成就感。 《幸福》是一本心理健康和幸福杂志，它写道，添加收藏可以带来进步和成就感。 根据发表在《消费者研究杂志》上的一篇题为《寻求收藏中的结构：控制欲激发人们参与收藏》的文章，收藏可以帮助人们感觉更有控制力。 它解释了收藏可以成为我们身份的延伸。 我们收集的东西反映了我们的爱好、兴趣和忠诚度。 However, not everyone believes collecting is beneficial. Advocates of minimalism argue that owning fewer possessions improves wellbeing. As Beverley D'Silva reported for the BBC, the simplicity associated with a minimalist lifestyle may even contribute to greater happiness. From this perspective, filling our homes with collections can seem more like unnecessarily hoarding clutter. There is also an important distinction between thoughtfully curating your collection and simply accumulating more possessions. The Journal of Consumer Research article warns that some collectors can be drawn into excessive spending, especially when companies release new or rare additions to collections that were once considered complete. In those cases, collecting may be driven less by passion and more by pressure. 然而，并非所有人都认为收集是有益的。 极简主义的倡导者认为，拥有更少的财产可以改善幸福感。 正如 Beverley D'Silva 为 BBC 报道的那样，与极简主义生活方式相关的简单甚至可能有助于增加幸福感。 从这个角度来看，在我们的家里堆满收藏品似乎更像是不必要地囤积杂物。 精心策划你的收藏和简单地积累更多财产之间也有一个重要的区别。 《消费者研究杂志》的文章警告说，一些收藏家可能会陷入过度消费，特别是当公司为曾经被认为完整的收藏品推出新的或罕见的补充品时。 在这些情况下，收藏可能更多地受到压力而非激情的驱动。 Despite this, collecting remains as popular as ever. Perhaps the reason collecting endures is simple – collections tell stories. And displaying these collections can be just as satisfying as finding them. Happiful describes collections as a kind of self-portrait, reflecting our interests, personality and memories. Whether it's fridge magnets, shells or action figures, the real value often lies not in the objects themselves, but in the memories and meanings attached to them. 尽管如此，收藏仍然一如既往地流行。 也许收藏经久不衰的原因很简单——藏品讲述故事。 展示这些藏品就像找到它们一样令人满意。 Happiful 将收藏描述为一种自画像，反映我们的兴趣、个性和记忆。 无论是冰箱贴、贝壳还是人偶，真正的价值往往不在于物体本身，而在于它们所附加的记忆和意义。

While mice with partly-human brains might sound a Kafkaesque experiment, the scientists say that these are not mice that think like humans, rather they're animals that are altered so that some of their brain tissue is human. 虽然拥有部分人类脑组织的小鼠听起来像是一场 “卡夫卡式” 的实验，但科学家表示，这些小鼠并不会像人类一样思考。更准确地说，它们只是经过改造的动物，其部分脑组织来源于人类。 The researchers engineered mice to develop almost none of their own cerebralcortex, that's the outer layer that's sometimes referred to as grey matter. It handles higher-level thinking, memory and senses. They then used skin cells taken from humans, reprogrammed them and grew them into pieces of brain-like tissue called organoids – collections of connected living brain cells. When these organoids were implanted into the mice, they formed connections with the rest of the brain and the spinal cord, functioning like brain tissue. 通过基因工程手段，研究人员让这些小鼠几乎不发育自身的大脑皮层。大脑皮层就是大脑的外层，有时也被称为 “灰质”，负责高级思维活动、记忆和感觉处理。随后，研究人员用取自人类的皮肤细胞，将其重新编程，培育成名为 “类器官” 的类脑组织。类器官由相互连接的活体脑细胞组成。这些类器官被植入小鼠后，与大脑的其它区域和脊髓建立了连接，并发挥与脑组织相似的功能。 Having working human brain cells inside a living animal, the scientists say, gives them a new way to understand the biological causes and develop treatments for brain disorders, including dementia, epilepsy and cerebral palsy. The study raises questions about what it means to change the brain of an animal and exactly how theselaboratorymice will experience the world. So, there'll be ongoing discussions weighing the scientific value of these mice against these ethical challenges. 科学家表示，在活体动物的大脑中植入能正常发挥功能的人类脑细胞，为他们理解脑部疾病的生物学成因、开发新疗法提供了新途径，这些疾病包括痴呆、癫痫和脑瘫。该研究也引发了一些质疑，例如改变动物的大脑意味着什么，以及这些实验小鼠究竟会如何感知和体验世界。因此，如何权衡这些小鼠的科学价值与伴随而来的伦理挑战，相关讨论还将持续下去。

For 14 years, we do it every Friday around this time. We come out and we feed people, right? 14年来，我们每周五差不多这个时候都会做这件事。我们出来给人们分发食物，对吧？ We feed them first the spiritual word of God, we call it and then, we give them physical food. 我们先给他们“精神食粮”，然后再给他们提供物质食物。 We let them know that "Hey, you don't have to come to listen to the word of God in order for us to give you food. 我们让他们知道：“你们不必为了让我们给你们食物而来听上帝的教诲。 If you just want to come when we're serving, you can come when we're serving. 如果你只想在我们供应餐点的时候来，那你可以直接来。 You don't have to listen to me. I'm nothing special. I don't have nothing great to say to you except for what's in the word of God." 你不必听我的。我没什么特别的。除了上帝箴言外，我没什么溢美之语要对你说。” The hardest hit place in Los Angeles, still praising God, still giving him the glory, still coming out on Friday nights. 在洛杉矶疫情最严重的地方，人们仍在赞美上帝，仍在颂扬他的荣耀，仍在周五晚上外出。 And what I've started to notice is happening is that more and more people are coming back every week. 我开始注意到，每周都有越来越多的人出来加入我们。 There are all kinds of people who come here. There are people who are housed. 来这里的人形形色色。有的人就住在这里。 There are about 9,000 people who are housed right here in Los Angeles. 洛杉矶大约有9000人都住在这里。 And what's in Skid Row, what's called Single Residency Occupancies, right there are little small apartments, kind of like the size of a jail cell, a small jail cell. 在贫民区里，所谓的单人居住单元是什么样的呢？那些公寓可能就跟监狱的单间一样小。 There's a lot of good people down here, but it's like the has-beens, the ex-gang members, the ex-pimps or prostitutes, ex-parolees, ex-probation or their family just forgot about them. 这里有很多好人，但是这里也是很多“过气人”的收容所，前帮派成员、前皮条客、前妓女、刑满释放人员、缓刑期满人员，或者是那些被家人遗忘的人。 So, they end up coming down here. It's something down here and it's kind of like Paul, when he said in the church, during the, excuse me, "you can stay down here or you can go to heaven". 他们最终来到了这里。这里有一些事情，有点像保罗在教堂里说的，“你可以留在这里，也可以去天堂”。 When you come to Skid Row, you have to put on your Ephesians 6:18, your whole armor of God. 当你来到贫民窟时，你得穿上以弗所书6:18所提到的上帝所赐的全副军装。 Because even when you don't want to do something, you see somebody doing something, so you end up wanting to do it. 因为即使你原本不想做某事，看到别人在做，你最终也会想做。 About 400,000 people are at risk of facing eviction due to COVID-19 and all our elected officials are doing are passing eviction moratoriums. 大约40万人因新冠疫情面临被驱逐的风险，而我们所有的民选官员都在努力暂停驱逐令。 Well, after the moratorium, somebody has to pay that rent, right? 暂停之后，总得有人付那笔租金，对吧？ And so, after the moratorium, all landlords are going to do is proceed with evictions, right, with the eviction process. 在暂停令结束之后，那些房东还是会继续驱逐弱势群体。 And so, we're asking them to cancel rent. It's small movements like this that will shift theparadigm. We can't focus on the hate. 我们要求他们免租。这样的小举动会改变现状。我们不能只关注仇恨。 We can't focus on what's going on in Washington D.C. We need to focus right here at home, individually with each person you meet and see. 我们不能只关注华盛顿特区发生的事情。我们需要把注意力放在国内，着眼于每一个遇到和看到的人。

The Oxford University team behind the study says any drink at or above 65C is "very hot" and poses a potential risk. Compared with people who drank "warm" beverages, those who consumed "very hot" ones had around a three times higher risk of squamouscell oesophageal cancer. 开展这项研究的牛津大学团队表示，任何温度达到或超过 65 摄氏度的饮品都 “非常烫”，可能带来潜在风险。与饮用 “温热” 饮品的人相比，饮用 “非常烫” 饮品的人患食管鳞状细胞癌的风险约为其三倍多。 There are several thousand cases each year in the UK, but experts stress the overall chance of getting this cancer of the gullet is still low. Smoking and drinking alcohol are far bigger established risk factors, although waiting a few minutes for your hot drink to cool a bit is advisable. 英国每年有数千例食管癌病例，但专家强调，就普通人群而言，患上这种食管癌的总体风险仍然较低。吸烟和饮酒是已被证实、影响更大的风险因素。不过，等上几分钟，让热饮稍微冷却后再喝仍是明智之举。

Dolphins are what we call charismatic megafauna, which means that people view them as charismatic. 海豚被我们称作是魅力大型动物，因为它们真的很有魅力。 People get excited about some animals more than they get excited about others. 人们有时候更偏爱某一类动物。 But that's okay, because then we can use that to get them to conserve in general. 但没关系，因为我们可以利用人们的偏爱去保护更多动物。 So, if they're conserving the dolphins that means we're conserving their habitat, which means we are conserving all the animals that live in that habitat as well. 如果人们保护海豚，就会保护它们的栖息地，这也意味着我们同时也在保护生活在那个栖息地的所有动物。 Hi, guys. My name is Dr. Kelly Jaakkola. I am a cognitive researcher, right now work with dolphins. 我是凯利·贾科拉博士，从事认知研究，现在主要研究海豚。 You want to do a high five? No? This one? You can't really reach. I know it is hard to reach up here. 想击个掌吗？不想？这个呢？你其实够不到。我知道这个高度你够不到。 For other people, they might get inspired by the dolphin's beauty or their athleticism etc. 其他人可能对海豚美丽的外形或是运动天赋更感兴趣。 I know. Very nice. I know. Oh, you want to come play too? What do you think? 我知道。非常好。我知道。你也想来玩吗？你觉得呢？ For me it was watching them think. Wow, now it's yourturn? Now it's yourturn? 我喜欢看着它们思考。现在轮到你了？ So, Dolphin Research Center is a non-profit research and education facility in the Florida Keys. 海豚研究中心是佛罗里达群岛的一个非营利性研究和教育机构。 And there are a number of questions that you can't answer in the wild. 在自然界里有许多问题你无法找到答案。 You'll see situations where they seem to be cooperating. They seem to be doing the same thing at the same time. 有时候你会看到海豚似乎在合作。也有可能它们只是恰好在同一时间做着同样的事情。 But you can't tell from just looking at that whether or not they're understanding cooperation or if they're just doing something at the same time. 但你仅凭观察无法判断他们是在理解合作，还是只是同时在做某件事。 In this study we set up a game. And the game was, we had two buttons and to win the game, the dolphins had to press the buttons at the same time within a one second window which is really, really close. 在这项研究中，我们设置了一个游戏。游戏内容是，我们有两个按钮，而为了赢得游戏，海豚必须在同一秒的时间窗口内同时按下按钮，这个时间差真的非常短。 So, in order to show that they understand cooperation, you have to sometimes send them at different times. 为了表明他们理解合作，你有时必须让他们在不同时间出发。 Okay, so, Reese was sent first. And you see he doesn't go immediately to his button. And now Delta was sent and we'll see, and they did it! 里斯先被放出来了。但它并没有直接去触碰按钮。现在德尔塔也被放出来了，我们来看看，他们做到了！ By the end of this study, they were pressing an average of a third of a second apart which is really tight coordination. 研究结束时，它们触碰按钮的平均时差是三分之一秒，这是非常紧密的合作。 The most obvious next step is okay, well how are they doing it? Are the dolphins using some sort of verbal communication? 接下来最明显的问题是，它们是如何做到的呢？海豚在用某种语言交流吗？ Maybe they are using synchrony, so maybe they sync up with each other and swim together etc. 也许它们使用了共时性，也许它们会彼此同步，一起游动等等。 Other questions we can look at are: are there ways that that cooperation in the wild might be disrupted? 我们还可以研究其他问题：是否有一些因素会扰乱它们的合作？ So, for example, if they are using a kind of vocal communication, then noise pollution might get in the way of that. 例如，如果海豚在以某种形式的语言交流，那么噪音污染就可能会干扰这种交流。 Alright, are you guys ready? Any sort of facility has to have a way of supporting their animals. 好了，你们准备好了吗？任何动物机构都必须找到方法保护这些动物。 And for us, that largely comes from the visitors that walk through the door. 我们的方式主要就是让人们前来参观。 One of the big roles that marine mammal facilities play is getting people to make a connection in order to get people to conserve and then care. 海洋哺乳动物机构的一个重要作用就是帮助人们与动物建立联系，然后让他们去保护动物、关爱动物。 And it's that moment of connection that is the start of conservation mindedness. 这种联系正是动物保护意识的开端。 You know, it's fine to give people information. Information is great. 进行科普是很好的。 But that information is only useful if people care enough to actually go out and do something. 但只有当人们足够关心并真正走出去采取行动时，这些科普才有意义。

Ricochet was trained as a service dog but she was not placed because she likes to chase little animals, critters, squirrels. 跳跳曾被训练为服务犬，但她还没有正式上岗，因为她喜欢追逐小动物，例如小松鼠。 She would not make it as a service dog, but she also surfs. So, she surfs with people who have disabilities. So now I call her 'a surface dog'. 她无法成为服务犬，但她会冲浪。她会与残疾人士一同冲浪。现在我叫她“冲浪犬”。 She was eight weeks old. I had her in a kiddie pool and there was a boogie board and I kind of tapped it to invite her on it and she climbed on and had really good balance. 她当时才八周大。我把她放在一个儿童泳池里，泳池里有一块冲浪板，我轻轻拍了拍冲浪板，示意她爬上去，她就爬了上去，而且平衡感非常好。 So, from that I just continued playing around with it. I lay on the board and she stands behind me. 从此以后我就一直跟她这么玩儿。我躺在趴板上，跳跳站在我身后， There's a pusher, you know, another individual that will push them into the wave and Ricochet is really good at balancing the board for Hunter and in the beginning of his surfing that he needed that. I'm the only one who surfs in the family. 趴板后面有一个推手，他会把他们推到浪中，跳跳真的很擅长给亨特保持平衡，他初次冲浪真的很需要这样的帮助。我是家里唯一会冲浪的人。 There's a lot of trust that goes on with it, a lot of empowerment, especially kids with autism that don't get to really do anything on their own. 这其中蕴含着大量的信任和极大的自主空间，尤其是对自闭症儿童而言，他们通常无法真正独立完成任何事情。 There's usually supervision, but when they're in the water with Ricochet, they feel in control. 通常都会有监督员，但是在水里和跳跳在一起，他们会觉得自己完全能掌控。 And I always say to them, "Thank you for teaching my dog how to surf." 我总是对他们说：“谢谢你们教会我的狗狗冲浪。” So, they feel like they're the ones helping the dog instead. And it's just such an empowering feeling for the child. 他们反而觉得自己是在帮助狗狗。这对于孩子来说是一个赋能的过程。 I'm Staff Sergeant Persons Griffith and I'm a PTSD awareness advocate. 我是上士珀森斯·格里菲思，是创伤后应激障碍宣传者。 How was it? It's good. It's nice having her out there. It helps. When I met Ricochet, that was one of the more significant overwhelming moments in my life. 感觉怎么样？挺好的。有她真好。很有帮助。遇到跳跳是我人生中的重要时刻。 I was having a really hard time and so I finally had a breakthrough and I realized how PTSD was affecting me. Ricochet was like a mirror for me. 我当时真的过得很艰难，后来我终于有了突破，意识到创伤后应激障碍对我产生了怎样的影响。跳跳对我来说就像一面镜子。 You can't hide things from her. So, she already knows exactly what's going on. 你不能对她隐瞒任何事情。她已经完全清楚发生了什么事。 And she just kind of reaches into your soul and pulls it out in front of you and says, you know, brings it to your attention and says, you know, this is what's going on. 她就好像能把你的灵魂拽到你面前，让你看清楚自己的模样，然后说，这就是正在发生的事情。 This is how you really feel. Let's deal with this. Let's accept it. Let's talk about it. 这就是你真正的感受，让我们一起解决，一起接受，让我们谈一谈。 After I got divorced, I moved down to Carlsbad to live with my parents and kind of recover from the divorce and the PTSD from the divorce. 离婚后，我搬到卡尔斯巴德和父母同住，想从离婚和离婚后的创伤后应激障碍中恢复过来。 And we had physical abuse in that, you know, we had like the emotional abuse, all that abuse. So, I was kind of broken. 我曾经遭遇过家暴，还有情感上的虐待。我有点崩溃了。 When I met Ricochet, I felt like she really was like the glue that put my soul, my soul was broken and she put those pieces back together again and helped me rebuild my soul and rebuild my being. 当我遇到跳跳时，我觉得她像胶水一样把我残缺不堪的灵魂重新拼凑起来，帮我重塑了灵魂，重建了自我。 Sometimes she's very assertive as far as like she sticks her nose on you. She, earlier today, she paws at you because she knows like okay, you need to just stop. 有时她非常有主见，就好像她会对你刨根问底。她今天早些时候，会用爪子扒拉你，因为她觉得你需要慢下来了。 Look in my eyes, relax. And she just relieves like that stress or anxiety that you might have. 仿佛在说，放松，看着我的眼睛。她会减轻你身上的压力或者焦虑。 And what I label Ricochet as is emotional rescue. So, she connects with people instantly and goes very deep into their soul with what she can pick up from them. 我认为跳跳拥有感情救赎的能力。她能立刻与人建立联系，并凭借从他们身上捕捉到的信息深入到他们的灵魂深处。 And then she alerts and responds to whatever that emotion is. It's something that is instinctual. I didn't teach it to her. 然后她会察觉到这种情绪并做出相应的反应。这是一种本能反应。我并没有教过她。 So, it's been a progression of growth, of me learning more about what dogs are capable of. So, the biggest thing is me listening to her. 这是一个不断成长的过程，是我更多地了解狗能做什么的过程。最重要的是我要倾听她的想法。 Ricochet's the type of dog that needs human interaction. She's 12-and-a-half. 跳跳是那种需要与人类互动的狗。她已经十二岁半了。 So, I was afraid that after two months of not being with people, that she would check out and her life would end sooner than it should. 我担心两个月不和人交往会让她感到不适，进而导致她过早死亡。 So, after two months, I thought a lot and did a lot of research and decided that the benefit far outweighs the risk to meet with people one-on-one. We call them house calls or curbside comfort. 两个月后，我想了很多，也做了很多研究，最终认定，与人们一对一见面利大于弊。我们称之为上门服务或路边安慰。

Over two thirds of Brits agree that being able to laugh at yourself, or what we call 'self-deprecating humour', is a defining part of British culture, according to a recent survey by the charity Comic Relief. British comedian Sir Lenny Henry says it's not about putting yourself down, it's about bringing people together. After years of doing stand-up comedy, Lenny says that laughing at yourself is "one of the quickest ways to feel connected to a room full of strangers". But when is it good, and when is it bad, to make fun of yourself? Can it be taken too far? 根据慈善机构 Comic Relief 最近的一项调查，超过三分之二的英国人认为，能够嘲笑自己，或者我们所说的“自嘲式幽默”，是英国文化的一个决定性组成部分。 英国喜剧演员伦尼·亨利爵士表示，这不是为了贬低自己，而是为了让人们团结在一起。 经过多年的单口喜剧表演，莱尼表示，嘲笑自己是“与一个充满陌生人的房间建立联系的最快方式之一”。 但是，什么时候取笑自己是好事，什么时候是坏事呢？ 会不会太过分了？ When a person points out their own flaws in a light-hearted way, it can make them seem more human and make others feel comfortable. A 2025 study called 'When Laughter Hurts and Helps' linked the joy of being laughed at with higher social connectedness, in other words, a greater sense of belonging to a group. Conversely, the trait 'gelotophobe', or someone who fears being laughed at, has been linked to greater friendship avoidance and lower life satisfaction. Even leaders might benefit from self-deprecating humour. Lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Business Naomi Bagdonas says that for today's leaders, 'Humour is an elixir for trust and an antidote to arrogance'. 当一个人以轻松的方式指出自己的缺点时，可以让他们看起来更有人情味，也让别人感到舒服。 2025 年一项名为“当笑声伤害和帮助时”的研究将被嘲笑的快乐与更高的社会联系联系起来，换句话说，就是对一个群体有更强的归属感。 相反，“害怕被嘲笑”的特质，或害怕被嘲笑的人，与更大程度的回避友谊和较低的生活满意度有关。 即使是领导者也可能从自嘲式幽默中受益。 斯坦福大学商学院讲师内奥米·巴格多纳斯 (Naomi Bagdonas) 表示，对于当今的领导者来说，“幽默是信任的灵丹妙药和傲慢的解药”。 Making lightof negative situations can also be a coping mechanism. Imagine you're working on a group project, and something goes wrong. While everyone is panicking and trying to find someone to blame, you say sarcastically, "Well, this is going well!" This gives people permission to laugh a bit, and they might feel more positively about the situation. The challenge doesn't vanish, but at least people feel less tense and could feel more able to deal with the situation. A 2024 study published in Europe's Journal of Psychology found that maintaining a humorous perspective when things go wrong can lead to greater resilience. 淡化负面情况也可以成为一种应对机制。 想象一下，您正在开展一个小组项目，并且出现了问题。 当每个人都惊慌失措并试图寻找责任时，你讽刺地说：“好吧，一切进展顺利！” 这让人们可以笑一笑，他们可能会对这种情况感到更积极。 挑战并没有消失，但至少人们感觉不那么紧张，并且感觉更有能力应对这种情况。 欧洲《心理学杂志》2024 年发表的一项研究发现，在出现问题时保持幽默的观点可以带来更大的恢复力。 Of course, there's always a balance. While self-deprecating humour can bring people closer and make bad situations less overwhelming, it's important that it doesn't come from a place of bitterness and self-hatred. It's best to make jokes about yourself only once you've made peace with the flaw or mistake you're making fun of. 当然，平衡总是存在的。 虽然自嘲式幽默可以拉近人与人之间的距离，让糟糕的情况不至于那么难以承受，但重要的是它不能来自于痛苦和自我憎恨。 最好只有当你接受了自己所取笑的缺点或错误之后，才可以拿自己开玩笑。

The Israeli military said on Friday that one of the bodies released by Hamas did not belong to any of the hostages held in Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating an already shaky cease-fire. 以色列军方周五表示，哈马斯释放的一具尸体不属于任何被关押在加沙的人质，指责哈马斯违反了本已摇摇欲坠的停火协议。 The military said two of the bodies were identified as infant Kfir Bibas and his four-year-old brother Ariel, 军方表示，其中两具尸体被确认为婴儿Kfir Bibas和他四岁的哥哥Ariel， while a third body that was supposed to be their mother Shiri was found not to match with any hostage and remain unidentified. 而第三具尸体，本应是他们的母亲Shiri，但发现与任何人质都不匹配，因此身份不明。 The military said in a statement, "This is a violation of utmost severity by the Hamas terrorist organization, which is obliged under the agreement to return four deceased hostages." 军方在一份声明中表示：“这是哈马斯恐怖组织极其严重的违反行为，根据协议，哈马斯有义务归还四名已故人质。” The family of hostage Oded Lifshitz said in a statement that his body had been formally identified. 人质Oded Lifshitz的家人在一份声明中表示，他的尸体已经正式确认身份。 Palestinianmilitants handed over four black coffins in a carefully orchestrated public display as a crowd ofPalestinians and dozens of armed Hamas militants watched. 在一群巴勒斯坦人和数十名武装哈马斯武装分子的注视下，巴勒斯坦武装分子在精心策划的公开展示中交出了四具黑色棺材。 The purported remains of the boys, their mother, and Lifshitz were handed over under the Gaza cease-fire agreement reached last month with the backing of the U.S. and themediationof Qatar and Egypt. 根据上个月在美国支持、卡塔尔和埃及调解下达成的加沙停火协议，两名男孩、他们的母亲和Lifshitz的遗体被移交给以色列。 A series of explosions Thursday on three parked buses has rattled central Israel in what authorities suspected was a militant attack. No injuries were reported. 星期四，三辆停放的公共汽车发生连环爆炸，以色列中部地区一片混乱，当局怀疑这是一起武装袭击。没有人员伤亡报告。 AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports. Police rushed forces to the scene in Bat Yam, a Tel Aviv suburb, as they searched for suspects. 美联社记者哈亚·潘杰瓦尼（Haya Panjwani）报道。警方迅速派出警力前往特拉维夫郊区巴特亚姆现场搜查嫌疑人。 Bomb disposal searched buses and trains nationwide for additional bombs. 炸弹处理部门在全国范围内搜查公共汽车和火车，寻找更多炸弹。 A police spokesperson told local TV that explosives were found on two other buses. 警方发言人告诉当地电视台，在另外两辆公共汽车上也发现了爆炸物。 The mayor of Bat Yam says it's a miracle no one was hurt. He says the buses had finished their routes and were in a parking lot. 巴特亚姆市长说，没有人受伤真是个奇迹。他说，公共汽车已经完成了路线，停在停车场。

In a video statement, Chen Kugel, the chief of the Israeli National Institute of Forensic Medicine, confirmed on Saturday Shiri Bibas' body shows no evidence of injuries caused by bombing. 以色列国家法医研究所所长Chen Kugel在视频声明中证实，Shiri Bibas的尸体上没有爆炸伤证据。 "We have identified the remains of Shiri Bibas two days after identifying her children, Ariel and Kfir. Our examination found no evidence of injuries caused by bombing." “我们在确认Shiri Bibas的孩子Ariel和Kfir身份两天后确认了她的遗体身份。我们的检查没有发现爆炸造成的伤害证据。” Hamas, a U.S.-designated terror organization, said in November, 2023 that the children and their mother had been killed in an Israeli airstrike. 被美国认定为恐怖组织的哈马斯于2023年11月表示，这些孩子及其母亲在以色列空袭中丧生。 Ismail Al-Thawabta, director of the Hamas-run Gaza Government media office, said Netanyahu "bears full responsibility for killing her and her children." 哈马斯控制的加沙政府媒体办公室主任伊斯梅尔·萨瓦布塔（Ismail Al-Thawabta）表示，内塔尼亚胡“对杀害她及其孩子负有全部责任”。 But the Israeli military said intelligence assessments and forensic analysis of the bodies of the Bibas children indicated that they were deliberately killed by their captors. 但以色列军方表示，对两名儿童尸体的情报评估和法医分析表明，他们是被绑架者故意杀害的。 Chief military spokesperson Daniel Hagari said the boys were killed by the terrorists with their bare hands, but gave no details. 首席军事发言人丹尼尔·哈加里（Daniel Hagari）表示，这些男孩是被恐怖分子徒手杀害的，但没有透露细节。 Meanwhile, on Sunday, Israel said the release of hundreds ofPalestinianprisoners is delayed 与此同时，以色列周日表示，数百名巴勒斯坦囚犯的释放将推迟， until the release of the next hostages has been assured and without the humiliating ceremonies at handovers of Israeli captives in Gaza. 直到下一批人质得到释放，并且不会在加沙举行以色列俘虏交接仪式时受到羞辱。 The statement by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office came early Sunday as vehicles apparently carrying prisoners left the open gates of Ofer Prison only toturnaround and go back in. 总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡办公室于周日凌晨发表声明，当时似乎载有囚犯的车辆驶离奥弗监狱敞开的大门，然后掉头返回监狱。 Israel's announcement abruptly put the future of the cease-fire into further doubt. 以色列的声明突然使停火的未来陷入进一步的疑问。 The Vatican says Pope Francis is in critical condition. AP correspondent Julie Walker reports. The pope has been in the hospital for a week with a complex lung infection. 梵蒂冈表示，教皇方济各情况危急。美联社记者朱莉·沃克（Julie Walker）报道。教皇因复杂的肺部感染住院一周。 The Vatican also said Saturday Francis had to get blood transfusions after tests showing an anemia-related condition. 梵蒂冈周六还表示，方济各必须接受输血，因为检查显示他患有贫血相关疾病。 The statement said the Holy Father continues to be alert and spent the day in an armchair, although in more pain than yesterday. 声明称，教皇继续保持警觉，整天坐在扶手椅上，但比前一天感到更加疼痛。 At the moment, the prognosis is reserved. I'm Julie Walker. 目前，预测结果尚不确定。我是朱莉·沃克。

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday that Israel would make Hamas pay for failing to release the body of hostage Shiri Bibas as agreed in the latest potential threat to the month-old cease-fire. 以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡周五表示，哈马斯未能按照协议归还人质希里·比巴斯（Shiri Bibas）的遗体，以色列将让其为此付出代价，这是对一个月前停火协议的最新潜在威胁。 Reuters correspondent Fiona Jones reports. Hamas said Bibas' remains appeared to have been mixed with others after an Israeli airstrike hit the place she was being held, later adding that it was investigating the possible error. 路透社记者菲奥娜·琼斯（Fiona Jones）报道。哈马斯表示，以色列空袭袭击了比巴斯被关押的地方后，她的遗体似乎与其他遗体混在一起，后来又补充说，正在调查可能的失误。 Netanyahu gave no details on a possible Israeli response, but the incident highlights the fragility of the month-old cease-fire deal reached with U.S. backing and help from Qatar and Egypt. 内塔尼亚胡没有透露以色列可能做出的反应，但这一事件凸显了在美国支持以及卡塔尔和埃及帮助下达成的一个月前停火协议的脆弱性。 The failure to return Bebas' body during this staged public handover caused outrage in Israel. 在这次分阶段的公开移交中，以色列未能归还比巴斯的遗体，引起了以色列的愤怒。 "It's like they make a joke of us and the mother just sent the body and it's so painful, so the family has to go and bury them and to make sort of a closure and now the mother is missing and it's so frustrating." “他们好像在拿我们开玩笑，母亲刚刚把尸体送来，这太令人痛苦了，所以家人必须去埋葬他们，做一个了结，现在母亲失踪了，这太令人沮丧了。 ” Hamas is due to release six living hostages on Saturday, with the start of the negotiations for the cease-fire's second phase expected in the coming days. That was Reuters correspondent Fiona Jones. 哈马斯定于周六释放六名活着的人质，预计未来几天将开始停火第二阶段的谈判。路透社记者菲奥娜·琼斯报道。 U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance has criticized Germany's free speech laws during an appearance at a conservative gathering outside Washington. 美国副总统J.D.万斯在华盛顿郊外的保守派集会上批评了德国的言论自由法。 He linked Germany's limits against hate speech to American troops stationed there. 他将德国对仇恨言论的限制与驻扎在那里的美国军队联系起来。 German laws set restrictions on free speech, including the long-standing ban on Holocaust denial and any glorification of the country's Nazi past. 德国法律对言论自由进行了限制，包括长期禁止否认大屠杀和美化该国纳粹历史。 The limits are an effort to curb extremism and incitement and have led authorities to policing the internet for hate speech and arresting people forallegedlyposting and reposting such comments. 这些限制是为了遏制极端主义和煽动行为，并促使当局对互联网上的仇恨言论进行监管，并逮捕涉嫌发布和转发此类评论的人。 Vance's remarks Thursday followed his speech earlier this month at the Munich Security Conference. 万斯周四发表讲话之前，他本月早些时候在慕尼黑安全会议上发表了讲话。

Meet Andrew Savoia, a 24-year-old Northern Virginia cello player who is a social media sensation. 认识一下安德鲁·沙瓦亚，一位24岁的北弗吉尼亚大提琴手，他在社交媒体上很有名。 He created his TikTok account savoiboi in July and in just a few months he already had millions of likes or views. 他在7月创建了自己的TikTok账号savoiboi，短短几个月内就已经获得了数百万的点赞或浏览量。 There were some very catchy songs on the app and songs that you're just watching a video and it makes you want to get up and dance. 这个应用程序上有一些非常动听的歌曲，而且当你观看视频时 ，里面的歌曲会让你忍不住起身跳舞。 And there was only like a quick little segment of that I would see and I was like, okay, I could try to recreate this on the cello, so I did that. 我当时只能看到一小段快速闪过的内容，我就想，好吧，我可以试着用大提琴把这个重新演绎出来，于是我就这么做了。 I had one of my buddies record it and it was so fascinating because of the positive reaction that it received. I did not think that it would be received as well as it did. 我有一个朋友帮我录了下来，结果反响非常热烈，这让我觉得特别有意思。我没想到它会受到这么好的评价。 It was a stream of unhappy events that led Savoia to his social media success: a painful breakup, failing to get into medical school, depression. 一连串不幸的事件促使沙瓦亚在社交媒体上获得了成功：痛苦的分手、医学院入学考试失利以及抑郁情绪。 In a strange way all this contributed to his achievements. 奇怪的是，这一切都促成了他的成就。 Music for me has been a way for me to like, I said, process emotion, experiences, memories that I've had. 对我来说，音乐是一种处理我所经历的情感、体验和记忆的方式。 But it has an ability to heal because it can do the same thing for other people and it's very unifying. 但它具有治愈的能力，因为它也能为他人带来同样的作用，而且非常具有凝聚力。 His process is simple: Find the song he likes and play it on the cello. 他的做法很简单：找到他喜欢的歌曲，然后用大提琴演奏。 I listen to lots of different kinds of music. I listen to hip hop. I listen to rock music, country music, sometimes lots of classical music and countless other genres. 我听很多不同类型的音乐。我听嘻哈音乐。我听摇滚音乐、乡村音乐，有时也听很多古典音乐，还有数不清的其他音乐类型。 And I just try to do songs that have a melody line that would work well on this instrument. This instrument has such a diversity in its sound. 我只是尽力创作那些旋律线在这件乐器上能演奏出很好效果的歌曲。这件乐器的音色非常多样。 But music will not be Savoia's career. He graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in neurobiology and plans to become a neurologist in the future. 但音乐不会成为沙瓦亚的职业。他毕业于弗吉尼亚理工大学，获得了神经生物学学位，并且计划未来成为一名神经科医生。 But his two passions, music and medicine, are inseparable, something one of his former teachers sees as well. 但他对音乐和医学的两大热忱密不可分。他以前的老师也看到了这一点。 I could definitely see a specific you know sector of the population who has a specific ear or depending on the type of illness that you have that you can actually be soothed by music. 我绝对能想象到有这样一部分特定的人群，他们对音乐有独特的感知，或者根据你所患疾病的类型，实际上你是可以从音乐中获得慰藉的。 And if you watch him when he plays, and of course I only started watching him recently, he's very very passionate how he actually started playing the cello. I think that process sort of healed him. 如果你看他演奏时，当然我也是最近才开始关注他的，他对自己当初是如何开始拉大提琴这件事充满了激情。我觉得这个过程在某种程度上治愈了他。 Savoia's cover version of the song Come Get Her by a hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd got over 3 million views. 沙瓦亚翻唱了嘻哈二人组雷·什里默德的歌曲Come Get Her，视频浏览量超过了300万。 He hopes people who like his stuff will pick up an instrument themselves. 他希望喜欢他作品的人，能自己拿起一件乐器来演奏。

The patient's tumour was benign but dangerously close to important bloodvessels and nerves, leaving him at risk of going blind. 这位患者的肿瘤虽为良性，但极度靠近重要血管和神经，使其面临失明的风险。 The team trained the AI tool on hundreds of videos of previous operations. They then used the AI tool in real time to help highlight sometimes hidden vessels and nerves, and to mark up the safest place to remove the tumour. 该医疗团队利用数百段过往手术视频对人工智能工具进行了训练。随后，他们在手术过程中实时使用该人工智能工具，协助凸显一些隐蔽的血管和神经，并标注出切除肿瘤最安全的位置。 Researchers hope that with larger trials, using AI in this way will help surgery become both safer and faster. 研究人员希望随着更大规模试验的开展，以这种方式使用人工智能将有助于让手术变得更加安全和高效。

This polling suggests that 5% of people in Britain believe their accent has cost them a promotion, pay rise or senior role. Those from Birmingham were the most likely to feel this - the figure rose to 13% among people with a Brummie accent. 这项民调显示，5%的英国人认为，自己的口音曾导致他们错失晋升、加薪或担任高级职位的机会。来自伯明翰的受访者最有可能持这种看法，因为在有伯明翰地方口音的人群中，这一比例上升至了 13%。 More than 3,300 people in England, Scotland and Wales were questioned. People from the West Country were most likely to report being mocked or criticised by colleagues for the way they spoke, at 15%, closely followed by those with a Geordie or Mancunian accent. 这项调查访问了英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士的 3300 多名受访者。调查显示，来自英格兰西南部地区的受访者最有可能表示，自己曾因说话方式而遭到同事嘲笑或批评，这一比例为 15%；紧随其后的是有纽卡斯尔地区口音和曼彻斯特地区口音的受访者。 Softening an accent is a common occurrence, the study suggests, with 13% of Britons polled admitting to changing the way they spoke in order to sound more professional. This rose to 23% of those with an East London Cockney accent, and 20% of those with a Scottish accent. 研究显示，刻意淡化口音是一种较为普遍的现象。13%的英国受访者承认，为了让自己听起来更专业，他们曾有意改变自己的说话方式。在有伦敦东区考克尼口音的受访者中，这一比例升至 23%；在有苏格兰口音的受访者中，这一比例为 20%。

Daydreaming has a bad reputation – we say things like "he's away with the fairies" or "she has herhead in the clouds" implying these people are inattentive, easily distracted, maybe even lazy. Is this reputation justified? Or is a trip to la-la land actually something that might benefit us? 白日梦的名声很差——我们说“他和仙女在一起了”或“她的头在云端”，暗示这些人注意力不集中、容易分心，甚至可能很懒。 这种声誉是否合理？ 或者说去la-la land旅行实际上可能对我们有益？ First, it's important to differentiate daydreaming from mind wandering. Mind wandering happens when you're busy with a task and your mind disengages from it, whereas daydreaming happens when you're doing nothing and spontaneous thoughts unrelated to your surroundings pop up. In a review of research called 'The costs and benefits of mind-wandering', the authors found mind wandering negatively impacted reading comprehension, attention, memory and intelligence. None of that sounds great, so are there any benefits at all? 首先，区分白日梦和走神很重要。 当你忙于一项任务而你的思绪脱离它时，就会发生走神，而当你无所事事并且与周围环境无关的自发想法突然出现时，就会发生白日梦。 在一项名为“走神的成本和好处”的研究综述中，作者发现走神会对阅读理解、注意力、记忆力和智力产生负面影响。 这些听起来都不太好，那么有什么好处吗？ Activities that allow your mind to wander, like having a bath or meditating can lead to the 'aha' moment that you've been waiting for, which is why people often say they have their best ideas in the shower. This might work in the workplace too. In a 2021 study called 'Zoning out or breaking through? Linking daydreaming to creativity in the workplace', the authors concluded that "daydreaming carries noteworthy benefits for creativity". In other words, daydreaming at work may help you to come up with solutions to your problems. It's also suggested that daydreaming can provide a sort of mental escape, both from the difficulty of the task, but also from the stresses of everyday life. 让你的思绪飘逸的活动，比如洗澡或冥想，可以让你得到一直在等待的“顿悟”时刻，这就是为什么人们经常说他们在淋浴时想到了最好的想法。 这在工作场所也可能有效。 在 2021 年一项名为“分区还是突破？”的研究中 作者将白日梦与工作场所的创造力联系起来，得出结论：“白日梦对创造力具有显着的好处”。 换句话说，工作中的白日梦可能会帮助你找到问题的解决方案。 还有人认为，白日梦可以提供一种精神上的逃避，既可以逃避任务的困难，也可以逃避日常生活的压力。 So, it seems daydreaming might be a bit of a double-edged sword, and the extent to which it provides benefits rather than downsides depends on things like how positive the thoughts are as well as your ability to identify and control them. If you find yourself endlessly staring into space, pondering the meaning of life while you're trying to get things done, why not try a mindfulness technique? 因此，白日梦似乎是一把双刃剑，它带来好处而不是坏处的程度取决于诸如想法的积极程度以及您识别和控制它们的能力等因素。 如果你发现自己在努力完成事情的同时不断地凝视着太空，思考生命的意义，为什么不尝试正念技巧呢？ Observe the thoughts as they pop up, visualise them as clouds and watch them pass by. Alternatively, when you've got some time to yourself, instead of reading a book or listening to music, why not let yourself get lost in thought? 观察突然出现的想法，将它们想象成云，然后看着它们消失。 或者，当您有一些独处时间时，为什么不让自己陷入沉思，而不是读书或听音乐呢？

For many worldwide, smartphones are used for everything from financial transactions to social media. 对于全球许多人来说，智能手机被用于从金融交易到社交媒体等方方面面。 So when screens break or crack, it can feel like life itself comes to a halt. 当手机屏幕破裂时，感觉生活仿佛都停滞了。 Long-time US glassmaker Corning has spent more than a decade making smartphone glass stronger. 美国老牌玻璃制造商康宁公司花了十多年时间，让智能手机玻璃变得更坚固。 These devices are typically a much higher percentage of a person's GDP in emerging regions, so durability and longevity of that phone becomes a much more critical feature than in other developed countries. 在新兴地区，这些设备的价格通常占个人GDP的比例要高得多，所以与其他发达国家相比，手机的耐用性和使用寿命就成了更为关键的特性。 Corning founded in 1851 has pivoted with the times. In 1879, Thomas Edison went to Corning for glass for his light bulb. 康宁公司于1851年成立，一直与时俱进。1879年，托马斯·爱迪生前往康宁公司，为他的灯泡寻找玻璃材料。 Corning's glasses used in the windows for NASA's space shuttles. 康宁公司的玻璃被用于美国国家航空航天局航天飞机的舷窗。 In the 1950s, Corning became a household name with Corningware cookware, and Steve Jobs used it for the iphone. 20世纪50年代，康宁凭借康宁餐具家喻户晓，史蒂夫·乔布斯还将其用于iPhone手机。 Now Corning dominates the worldwide smartphone glass industry. 如今，康宁公司主导着全球智能手机玻璃行业。 Its latest product Gorilla Glass Victus is even tougher, says the company. 该公司表示，其最新产品“Gorilla Glass Victus”更加坚固耐用。 Whenever we develop a new glass, we set the bar high. 每当我们研发一种新玻璃时，我们都会设定很高的标准。 The new glass must be clearly better than our current flagship product and far superior to the competition. 新玻璃必须明显优于我们目前的旗舰产品，并且远远胜过竞争对手的产品。 Corning said they were able to improve both drop and scratch performance at the same time, a first in the industry. 康宁公司表示，他们能够同时提升抗摔性能和抗刮性能，这在业内尚属首次。 Gorilla Glass Victus can drop from two meters in height, which is taller than I am, onto a rough surface like asphalt and has 2x better scratch performance than our previous glass. Gorilla Glass Victus玻璃能从两米高的地方（这比我还高）掉到像沥青这样的粗糙表面上 ，而且其抗刮性能是我们之前玻璃的两倍。 So the next time you drop your phone and it miraculously doesn't shatter, it's most likely thanks to this company in upstate New York. 下次你不小心把手机掉地上，而它奇迹般地没有摔碎时，这很可能要归功于纽约州北部的这家公司。

Half of Senegal's household rely on wood or wood charcoal. 塞内加尔一半的家庭依靠木材或木炭。 To combat air pollution and deforestation, a cooperative of women produce biochar, an energy source made from straw. 为了应对空气污染和森林砍伐问题，一个妇女合作社生产生物炭，这是一种由秸秆制成的能源。 Theyburnit and mix the charred straw with clay and water. The end result is a carbon-neutral organic charcoal that does not involve chopping down trees. 他们将其焚烧，并将烧焦的稻草与黏土和水混合。最终得到一种碳中和的有机木炭，且无需砍伐树木。 The mixture is pressed and stored, resulting in about 150 pallets of biochar per day. 将混合物进行压制和储存，每天可产出约150托盘的生物炭。 The initiative is diversifying the economy of a rural region where many eke out a living from livestock and fishing. 该倡议正在使一个农村地区的经济多元化，在那里许多人靠畜牧和渔业勉强维持生计。 First of all, this biochar protects the forest. It protects our homes, it protects our supplies, it protects women, it protects the forest that no longer burns, it protects our lives. It is healthy. We thank God for this. 首先，这种生物炭保护了森林。它保护我们的家园，保护我们的物资，保护妇女，保护不再燃烧的森林，保护我们的生命。它有益健康。我们为此感谢上帝。 Biochar production has been launched in 18 villages in the region by the Nebeday ecological association, a name that means "tree" in the Wolof of language. Nebeday生态协会已在该地区的18个村庄启动了生物炭生产项目，Nebeday在沃洛夫语中意为“树”。 To fight deforestation, the group also plants trees in big cities and small villages alike. 为了对抗森林砍伐，该组织还在大城市和小村庄植树。 Since the beginning of the year, they have planted more than a million trees throughout the country. 自年初以来，他们在全国各地种植了一百多万棵树。 Nebeday director Jean Geopp says that putting straw to good use has an added advantage. Nebeday主任Jean Geopp表示，充分利用秸秆还有额外的好处。 Straw, which is the raw material of our biochar, in fact conveys thousands of bushfires across the country in the dry season. 稻草是我们生物炭的原料，实际上在旱季会在全国范围内引发数千起丛林大火。 So reducing this straw is reducing bushfires, and, therefore, preventing young trees from dying in the forest. 减少秸秆就是减少丛林火灾，从而防止森林中的幼树死亡。 So by consuming one kilogram of straw charcoal, we save the forest twice. 每消耗一公斤秸秆木炭，我们就能两倍地拯救森林。 The benefits can be seen in Senegal's Djilor Forest, patrolled by ranger Biram Gning, who was born nearby. 这些好处在塞内加尔的吉洛森林可见一斑，这片森林由护林员Biram Gning巡逻，他就出生在附近。 Gning lacks the authority to arrest those he catches cutting down trees, rather, he reports infractions to a local village chief. Gning没有权力逮捕他抓到的那些砍树的人，而是将违规行为报告给当地的村长。 Gning says rising delta waters have salted the land, posing an additional environmental challenge. Gning表示，三角洲地区不断上涨的水位已使土地盐碱化，构成了额外的环境挑战。 Deforestation is caused by, one, the harmful cutting of trees, illegal cutting by the population. 森林砍伐是由以下原因造成的：其一，非法砍伐。 Two, there are brushfires, which can ravage miles of forest. Three, the advance of salt from the sea to the forests. 二是有野火，它们能肆虐数英里的森林。三是海水向森林的侵蚀。 The African Union's Great Green Wall initiative is focusing on the Sahel among other regions to prevent desertification. 非洲联盟的“绿色长城”倡议正聚焦于萨赫勒等地区，以防治沙漠化。 The biochar project and efforts to combat deforestation are a vital piece of the puzzle. 生物炭项目以及应对森林砍伐的努力是解决这一难题的关键部分。

Driving While Black, a documentary by Ric Burns, chronicles the discrimination and violence African-Americans have often encountered while driving. 里克·伯恩斯执导的纪录片《黑人驾驶》记录了非裔美国人在驾车时经常遭遇的歧视和暴力。 In order to understand what's happening today, I felt strongly, we felt strongly that you had to go all the way back to slavery because that's the point where freedom is denied and mobility is denied. 为了理解今天正在发生的事情，我们强烈地感到，你必须一直追溯到奴隶制时期，因为从那时起，自由和迁徙的权利就被剥夺了。 The film documents how during the US Antebellum era plantation owners employed slave patrols to monitor and punish slaves who tried to escape. 这部纪录片记录了在美国内战前时期，种植园主如何雇佣奴隶巡逻队来监视并惩罚试图逃跑的奴隶。 It portrays these slave catchers as a precursor to white supremacists and some local sheriffs of the post-slavery Jim Crow era, who targeted African-American motorists from the 1920s to the 1960s. 它将这些追捕奴隶的人描绘成白人至上主义者的前身，以及奴隶制废除后种族隔离时代某些地方警长的前身，这些警长在20世纪20年代至60年代期间专门针对非裔美国司机。 Liberty is locomotion. It was a form of self-empowerment. 自由即行动；它是一种自我赋权的形式。 You drive automobile, you get to go where you want when you want, not sit in the back of the bus, but also an opening to a whole world of challenge as you now must navigate this spaces where African mobility is seen as worrisome and unpleasant and to be stopped by a large cohort of white Americans. 你驾驶汽车，就能随心所欲地去往想去的地方，不必坐在公交车后排，但这也开启了一个充满挑战的全新世界，因为如今你必须在这样的环境中前行，在这个环境里，非洲裔的出行被视为令人担忧和讨厌的事情，而且还可能会被一大群美国白人拦下。 Barriers grew for black motorists at night. So one of the hazards of driving was encountering people who were less interested in you being in that particular neck of the woods. 晚上，黑人司机面临的障碍就增多了。驾驶的风险之一就是遇到那些并不欢迎你出现在那片特定区域的人。 And I say neck of the woods, a neck in the woods, you know, watch out for being lynched or being harassed or terrified. 要当心被私刑处死、被骚扰或受惊吓。 How do you navigate the segregated highways of America if you're an African-American? 如果你是一名非裔美国人，你要如何在美国那些实行种族隔离的公路上出行呢？ Where if your daughter needs to go to the bathroom, if you need to put gasoline in your automobile, if God forbid you have a medical emergency, where are you going to sleep, where are you going to eat, where are you going to get your hair done? 要是你的女儿需要上厕所，要是你的汽车需要加油，要是万一你突发医疗紧急状况，你要去哪里睡觉，去哪里吃饭，去哪里理发呢？ The Negro Motorist Green Book listed such places. 《黑人出行绿皮书》列出了这些地方。 It was published in 1936 by New York postal carrier Victor Hugo Green and put small African-American businesses across the country on the map. 这本指南由纽约邮递员维克多·雨果·格林于1936年出版，将全国的小型非裔美国人企业标注在了地图上。 Eventually, says Ric Burns, the expansion of America's highways offered a level of protection to African-American drivers, giving them alternatives to state and local roads. 最终，里克·伯恩斯表示，美国高速公路的扩建为非裔美国司机提供了一定程度的保护，让他们有了州道和地方道路之外的选择。 However, the film shows African-American drivers continue to be racially profiled and disproportionately likely to be stopped by the police. 然而，这部纪录片显示，非裔美国司机仍然受到种族歧视，更有可能被警察拦下。 And so if people want to say, what is this thing? Structural racism, systemic racism, which has this kind of like abstract quality at first glance, it's not abstract, it's profoundly concrete. 如果人们想问，这到底是什么？结构性种族主义、系统性种族主义，乍一看好像很抽象，但它并非抽象的，而是非常具体的。

They could be the hottest accessory of an even hotter summer. As temperature records were smashed across Europe and other parts of the world, portable electric fans could be seen in the hands of millions of people. Estimates claim that up to 8 million of these devices were sold in the UK alone. The breeze that they provide will have been welcome to many, but could there be a downside to this popular product? 它们可能是炎热夏季最热门的配饰。 随着欧洲和世界其他地区的气温记录被打破，数百万人手中可以看到便携式电风扇。 据估计，仅在英国就售出了多达 800 万台此类设备。 它们提供的微风会受到许多人的欢迎，但是这种受欢迎的产品有缺点吗？ Concerns have been raised that these fans are just another example of fast technology. That is products that are sold cheaply and are likely to be disposed of quickly. Research from Material Focus, a British pro-recycling organisation, suggests that half of all the mini fans bought will end up unused or thrown away. This is unsurprising as they can be cheap to buy and almost impossible to repair. Fans contain a mix of different materials – plastic casing, copperwiring and a lithium-ion battery among other components. This means that a considerable amount of natural resource is used in their production, and that they can be complex to recycle and dispose of sustainably. 人们担心这些风扇只是快速技术的另一个例子。 这些产品售价低廉并且可能会很快被处理掉。 英国支持回收利用的组织Material Focus的研究表明，购买的迷你风扇中有一半最终会被闲置或丢弃。 这并不奇怪，因为它们购买起来很便宜，而且几乎不可能修理。 风扇包含不同材料的组合——塑料外壳、铜线和锂离子电池等组件。 这意味着它们的生产中使用了大量的自然资源，并且它们的可持续回收和处置可能很复杂。 There are more immediate safety risks from portable fans. The London Fire Brigade has reported cases of cheaply-made portable fan batteries catching fire or exploding while being charged. Waste disposal companies in the UK have warned that the lithium-ion batteries used by these devices are often thrown away together with household waste, and that this can lead to fires which put staff and installations at risk. It's not just fire either. The Japanese Consumer Affairs Agency reports a train passenger's hair being sucked into someone else's fan on a train. In addition, once the air around you gets hot enough, fans can even make you warmer rather than colder. 便携式风扇存在更直接的安全风险。 伦敦消防队报告了廉价制造的便携式风扇电池在充电时起火或爆炸的案例。 英国的废物处理公司警告说，这些设备使用的锂离子电池经常与家庭垃圾一起丢弃，这可能导致火灾，使工作人员和设施面临危险。 这也不仅仅是火。 日本消费者事务厅报告称，一名火车乘客的头发在火车上被吸进了别人的风扇中。 此外，一旦你周围的空气变得足够热，风扇甚至可以让你变得更温暖而不是更冷。 As the world's climate continues to heat up, more and more of us may be tempted to reach for portable fans. But maybe we should take some time to reflect on the effect this might be having on our environment and climate. 随着世界气候持续变暖，我们中越来越多的人可能会想要使用便携式风扇。 但也许我们应该花一些时间来思考这可能对我们的环境和气候产生的影响。

Israelis have mourned a family that was a symbol of the trauma their country suffered in the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 terror attack. 以色列人哀悼了一个家庭，这个家庭是他们的国家在2023年10月7日哈马斯领导的恐怖袭击中遭受创伤的象征。 Reuters correspondent Zachary Goelman reports. Israelis on Wednesday mourned three members of the Bibas family. 路透社记者Zachary Goelman报道。以色列人周三哀悼了Bibas家族的三名成员。 They lined the funeral procession that carried the bodies of mother Shiri and her sons, four-year-old Ariel and nine-month-old Kfir, on the way to their funeral. 他们沿着送葬队伍排列，送葬队伍运送着母亲Shiri和她的儿子、四岁的Ariel和九个月大的Kfir的遗体，前往他们的葬礼。 The two children were the youngest hostages seized during the attack on Israel. 这两个孩子是袭击以色列期间被劫持的最年轻的人质。 Their bodies were returned to Israel last week as part of a Gaza cease-fire meant to facilitate the return of captives and the release ofPalestinianprisoners held in Israel. 他们的遗体上周被送回以色列，这是加沙停火的一部分，旨在促进俘虏返回和释放关押在以色列的巴勒斯坦囚犯。 Thousands of people, some in tears, carrying blue and white Israeli flags or photographs of the family, walked in procession or waited as a convoy bearing the coffins passed their way to the funeral. 成千上万的人，有些人泪流满面，手持蓝白相间的以色列国旗或家人的照片，在送葬队伍中行走或等待运送棺材的车队前往葬礼。 The Hamas attack killed 1,200 people, according to Israeli tallies. Militants took 251 captives back to Gaza. 根据以色列的统计，哈马斯的袭击造成1200人死亡。武装分子将251名俘虏带回加沙。 Israel's air and ground war in Gaza, in response, has killed more than 48,000Palestinians, according to Gaza health authorities, and destroyed most of the coastal enclave. 据加沙卫生当局称，以色列对加沙发动的空中和地面战争已造成48000多名巴勒斯坦人死亡，并摧毁了大部分沿海地区。 But fighting has stopped since the fragile cease-fire agreement brokered by Egyptian and Qatari mediators last month. 但自上个月埃及和卡塔尔调解人达成脆弱的停火协议以来，战斗已经停止。 Under the deal, Hamas agreed to hand over 33 Israeli hostages in exchange for some 2,000Palestinianprisoners and detainees, and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from some of their positions in Gaza, as well as a massive influx of aid. 根据该协议，哈马斯同意交出33名以色列人质，以换取约2000名巴勒斯坦囚犯和被拘留者，并撤出以色列军队在加沙的部分阵地，以及大量援助。 On Wednesday, Egyptian mediators confirmed they had secured a breakthrough that should allow the handover of the final four hostage bodies due in the first phase of the deal this week after a days-long impasse. 周三，埃及调解人证实，他们已经取得突破，在经过数天的僵局后，本周将移交协议第一阶段的最后四名人质尸体。 Reuters correspondent Zachary Goelman.

Musk addressed Trump's first cabinet meeting of the new administration, saying his mission to cut government spending was urgent. 路透社记者亚历克斯·科恩(Alex Cohen)报道了更多消息。马斯克在特朗普新政府的第一次内阁会议上发表讲话，称削减政府开支是他的当务之急。 "It was spending, like, over a trillion dollars on interest. If this continues, the country will go, become de facto bankrupt. It's not an optional thing. It is an essential thing. That's the reason I'm here." “政府在利息上花费了超过一万亿美元。如果这种情况继续下去，这个国家就会走向破产。这不是可有可无的事情。这是必要的事情。这就是我来这里的原因。” Trump continued to give his full backing to Musk's Department of Government Efficiency cost-cutting team known as DOGE. 特朗普继续全力支持马斯克的政府效率部成本削减团队，即DOGE。 Federal workers are unhappy with Musk's approach and have sued to protect their jobs, as have other groups who are seeking to block DOGE from accessing government systems and slashing programs. 联邦工作人员对马斯克的做法不满意，并已提起诉讼以保护自己的工作，其他团体也试图阻止DOGE访问政府系统并削减项目。 While Musk has waved a chainsaw on stage at a political event in a bold display of his group's efforts, his official role remains unclear, which has complicated the lawsuits against DOGE. Reuters correspondent Alex Cohen. 虽然马斯克在一次政治活动中挥舞着电锯，大胆展示了他的团队的努力，但他的官方角色仍不明确，这使针对DOGE的诉讼变得复杂。路透社记者亚历克斯·科恩报道。

Top officials from the U.S. and several other member states skipped a group of 20 major economies' finance ministers meeting in South Africa this week, raising questions about the group's continued relevance. 美国和其他几个成员国的高级官员缺席了本周在南非举行的二十国集团财长会议，人们开始质疑该集团是否继续具有重要意义。 Kate Bartlett reports from Johannesburg. The two-day meeting in Cape Town ended without a communiqué, with current G20 leader South Africa saying there was not sufficient consensus to issue one. 凯特·巴特利特（Kate Bartlett）在约翰内斯堡报道。在开普敦举行的为期两天的会议没有发表公报，现任二十国集团领导人南非表示，双方没有达成足够的共识来发表公报。 In his opening remarks at the event, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa referred to the fractured geopolitical climate and stressed the importance of international cooperation. 南非总统西里尔·拉马福萨在会议开幕致辞中提到了支离破碎的地缘政治气氛，并强调了国际合作的重要性。 "At this time of global uncertainty and escalating tension, it is now more important than ever that the members of the G20 should work together." “在全球不确定性和紧张局势不断升级的当下，二十国集团成员国比以往任何时候都更需要共同努力。” But it appeared the world's largest economies were not able to find common ground on a number of issues. 但看起来，世界最大的几个经济体在许多问题上都未能达成共识。 The finance ministers meeting was beset with similar problems faced by last week's G20 foreign ministers meeting in Johannesburg, which laid bare the discord in current geopolitics. 此次财长会议面临着与上周在约翰内斯堡举行的二十国集团外长会议类似的问题，这也暴露了当前地缘政治的不和谐。 U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent skipped the event amid a spat with host country South Africa and after the U.S. criticized the themes around climate change and solidarity, equality and sustainability.

Reuters correspondent Alex Cohen has more. 并威胁对中国进口产品征收额外10%的关税，因为他所说的药品从这些国家涌入美国。路透社记者亚历克斯·科恩（Alex Cohen）带来更多报道。 Canadian and Mexican officials were due to meet with Trump administration counterparts in Washington on Thursday and Friday to try to firststallthe tariffs, which could deal a serious blow to a highly integrated North American economy. 加拿大和墨西哥官员将于周四和周五在华盛顿会见特朗普政府的同行，试图先推迟征收关税，这可能会对高度一体化的北美经济造成严重打击。 Trump's comments on the matter during his first cabinet meeting on Wednesday seem to suggest that he may push the deadline back for about one month until April 4. 特朗普在周三的第一次内阁会议上就此事发表的评论似乎表明，他可能会将最后期限推迟大约一个月，即推迟到4月4日。 Reuters correspondent Alex Cohen.

The future of the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas is in doubt after Israel stopped all aid from entering the Gaza Strip. Linda Gradstein reports from Jerusalem. 在以色列阻止所有援助进入加沙地带后，以色列和哈马斯之间的停火前景令人怀疑。琳达·格拉德斯坦（Linda Gradstein）在耶路撒冷报道。 Israel's announcement that it is blocking humanitarian aid from entering Gaza through its checkpoints has caused fear andpanicbuying in Gaza's markets. 以色列宣布阻止人道主义援助通过其检查站进入加沙，这在加沙市场引起了恐慌性购买。 The move comes as the Muslim holy month of Ramadan begins, when Muslims fast from dawn to dusk and share festive meals in the evenings. 此举正值穆斯林斋月开始之际，穆斯林从黎明到黄昏禁食，晚上共享节日大餐。 This year's Ramadan is taking place amid massive destruction caused by 16 months of heavy fighting between Israel and the terrorist-designated Hamas. 今年的斋月正值以色列和被指定为恐怖分子的哈马斯之间16个月的激烈战斗造成大规模破坏之际。 Hamas seized 250 hostages in an October 7, 2023, terror attack on southern Israel, sparking a war that has left tens of thousands ofPalestinians and more than 1,700 Israelis dead. 哈马斯于2023年10月7日在以色列南部发动恐怖袭击，劫持了250名人质，引发了一场战争，造成数万名巴勒斯坦人和1700多名以色列人死亡。 So far, 147 hostages have been returned to Israel alive, most in two cease-fire deals with Hamas. Israel has also released some 2,000Palestinianprisoners. 到目前为止，已有147名人质活着返回以色列，其中大多数是在与哈马斯达成的两项停火协议中被释放的。以色列还释放了约2000名巴勒斯坦囚犯。 Hamas, Arab states, the United Nations and human rights groups have condemned the Israeli blockage of aid shipments, accusing Israel of violating the cease-fire terms. 哈马斯、阿拉伯国家、联合国和人权组织谴责以色列封锁援助物资，指责以色列违反停火条款。 Linda Gradstein, VOA News, Jerusalem. President Trump said on Monday that 25 percent tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico will go into effect on Tuesday. 美国之音新闻记者琳达·格拉德斯坦在耶路撒冷报道。特朗普总统周一表示，对加拿大和墨西哥进口产品征收25%的关税将于周二生效。 Reuters correspondent Jillian Kitchener reports. U.S. stocks plunged after Trump said there was no room left for a deal that would avert the tariffs by halting the flow of fentanyl into the United States. 路透社记者吉莉安·基钦纳(Jillian Kitchener)报道。特朗普表示，通过停止芬太尼流入美国，达成协议以避免关税，此后美国股市暴跌。 "On the tariffs, is there any room left for Canada and Mexico to make a deal before midnight?" “关于关税，加拿大和墨西哥还有商量的余地在午夜前达成协议吗？” "No room left for Mexico or for Canada. No, the tariffs, you know, they're all set." “墨西哥和加拿大都没有商量的余地。他们都已经确定了。” Mexican President Claudia Scheinbaum on Monday told reporters, quote, "We maintained communication. We have made the agreements and the necessary coordination." 墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆周一告诉记者，“我们保持着沟通。我们已经达成了协议并进行了必要的协调。” But she said the decision to impose tariffs rested with Trump and said Mexico was ready with a plan B, C and D. 但她表示，征收关税的决定权在特朗普手中，并表示墨西哥已准备好B、C和D计划。 Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday told reporters Canada should not be blamed for the amount of fentanyl in the U.S. 加拿大总理贾斯廷·特鲁多周日告诉记者，加拿大不应为美国的芬太尼数量负责。 "We had about less than one percent when we first started talking about this many months ago. That number is significantly lower than that even now." “几个月前我们刚开始谈论这个问题时，我们的关税还不到1%，比现在要低得多。” Economists say that if Trump imposes 25 percent tariffs, which cover more than $900 billion worth of annual imports from Canada and Mexico, it would deal a serious setback to the highly integrated North American economy. 经济学家表示，如果特朗普征收25%的关税，涵盖每年价值超过9000亿美元的加拿大和墨西哥进口产品，这将对高度一体化的北美经济造成严重挫折。
