56In the Northeastern American state of Massachusetts, people are combining a form of exercise for the body and spirit with pigs.在东北的美国马萨诸塞州,人们正在将身体和精神的锻炼形式与猪结合.
57The yoga classes in Massachusetts are selling out within hours.马萨诸塞的瑜伽课几小时内就卖完了
58People come from far away to exercise with Wilbur, Charlotte, and Bluey, who are piglets or young pigs.人们从远处来与威尔伯,夏洛特,和布鲁伊一起锻炼,他们都是小猪或幼猪.
59The pigs come from a nearby farm to play among people in the yoga class at Ashley Bousquet's business, Beyond Yoga and Wellness, in the town of Spencer.这些猪来自附近的一个农场,在斯宾塞镇的阿什利·布斯凯(英语:Ashley Bousquet)的生意(英语:Beyond Yoga and Wellness)中,在瑜伽课的人群中玩耍.
60Bousquet tells people not to worry if piglets climb on top of them or want to cuddle.Bousquet告诉人们不要担心小猪爬到上面或者想抱抱.
61Yoga classes with animals are not new.带动物的瑜伽课并不新鲜.
62Goats might have been the first.山羊可能是第一个
63Lainey Morse started yoga classes with goats in the state of Oregon in 2016.莱妮·摩斯于2016年在俄勒冈州与山羊一起开始瑜伽课.
64She found she felt happier and more at ease around goats.她发现自己在山羊周围更快乐更轻松
65She talked with a friend who was a yoga teacher.她和一个曾经是瑜伽老师的朋友谈过了.
66They decided to offer classes with the goats.他们决定和山羊一起上课
67Their business was successful, and the idea soon spread to other places.他们的生意很成功,这个想法很快传播到其他地方.
68In Ashley Bousquet's class, the little pigs walk around humans who are moving into exercise positions called downward dog, crow, and cobra.在阿什利·布斯凯的班级中,小猪们环绕着正在移动到运动姿势的人类走动,称为下犬,乌鸦,和眼镜蛇.
69Among the other animals in the outdoor class are two rabbits and a goat named Munchie.室外课上的其他动物包括两只兔子和一只名叫Munchie的山羊.

90Before we hear today's education report, Dan Novak joins me to introduce the topic and to explain some of the words and phrases you will hear.在我们听取今天的教育报告之前,丹·诺瓦克与我一起介绍这个话题,并解释你们将要听到的一些言辞和短语.
91Hi, Dan.嗨,丹,你好吗?
92Welcome.欢迎
93Hi, Ashley.嗨,艾许莉。
94Today's report is about the Brown v. Board of Education, a landmark case that was decided 70 years ago.今天的报告是关于布朗诉教育委员会案,这是70年前判决的划时代的案件.
95The case is famous for striking down school segregation and the separate but equal doctrine.该案例以打破学校隔离和单独但平等的学说而闻名.
96For listeners who don't know much about this, can you explain what separate but equal and segregation mean?对于对此不甚了解的听众,你能解释什么是分离但平等与隔离?
97Sure.当然
98So, to segregate something means to set apart from a group or to isolate or divide.所以,将某些东西分离,就意味着要从一个群体中分离,或者孤立或分裂.
99To segregate in this context means to divide based on race or class.在这种情况下进行隔离意味着基于种族或阶级的划分.
100Before 1954, it was legal to keep schools separate based on race.1954年以前,根据种族将学校分开是合法的.
101In many parts of the U.S. at that time, and especially in the South, virtually every part of society was segregated.当时的美国很多地区,尤其是南方,几乎社会每个部分都被隔离.
102Blacks and whites even used separate water fountains and bathrooms.黑人和白人甚至使用单独的水喷泉和浴室.
103So, separate but equal was the legal justification for segregation.因此,隔离的法律依据是单独但平等的。
104It was established in the Plessy v. Ferguson case in the late 1800s, which ruled that segregation was constitutional.它在1800年代后期的普莱西诉弗格森案中被确立,该案裁定隔离是符合宪法的.
105The court ruled that segregation could be legal as long as the facilities for each race were equal.法院裁决,只要种族设施平等,隔离就是合法的。
106This, of course, could never be possible.当然,这是不可能的。
107And in the report we are about to hear, you say there is now school segregation in a de facto way.我们即将听到的这份报告中,你说现在存在着事实上的学校隔离。
108Can you explain what you mean by that?你能解释你的意思吗?
109Sure.当然
110So, segregating students based on race is illegal and has been since the Brown ruling.因此,基于种族而隔离学生是非法的,并且自布朗裁决以来就一直如此.
111But segregation remains, even if it is not by law.但是,隔离仍然存在,即使它不是根据法律。
112Many American cities, for example, are highly divided on class and race lines.例如,许多美国城市在阶级和种族线上高度分裂.
113So many school districts, which are based on geography, are also segregated.如此众多以地理为主的校区也被隔离.
114De facto is Latin and means in fact.实际是拉丁语,实际上就是意思.
115So schools are now segregated in fact, but not in law as they were before 1954.因此,学校现在实际上被隔离,但不像1954年以前那样在法律上被隔离.
116Okay.摆
117Thanks for answering those questions, Dan.谢谢你回答这些问题,丹
118Now, let's listen to today's education report.现在,让我们听听今天的教育报告.
119May 17th marked the 70th anniversary of one of the most notable cases in U.S. Supreme Court history, Brown v. Board of Education.5月17日是美国最高法院历史上最显著的案件之一布朗诉教育委员会案70周年.
120The 1954 decision declared segregated schools unconstitutional.1954年的决定宣布隔离学校违宪.
121It also struck down the principle of separate but equal, which was used as the basis for U.S. government's policies related to racial segregation.它还推翻了分离但平等的原则,这项原则被用作美国政府有关种族隔离政策的基础。
122President Dwight Eisenhower famously sent federal troops to southern states to enforce the decision.德怀特·艾森豪威尔总统著名地派遣联邦军队到南部各州执行这一决定.
123Today, American schools cannot legally restrict students based on race.今天,美国学校不能以种族为由在法律上限制学生.
124But because of long-held economic divides and other issues, some schools have become segregated in a de facto way.但由于长期存在的经济鸿沟和其他问题,一些学校实际上已经变得隔离.
125Some researchers say that despite the continuing ban, school segregation has gotten worse over the years, even as the U.S.一些研究者说,尽管继续实行禁令,但学校的隔离状况在过去几年里越来越严重,甚至像美国一样.
126overall has become more racially diverse.总的来看,种族多样性越来越强。
127A team from the University of California, Los Angeles, or UCLA, recently released a report examining the ways segregation has changed in U.S.来自加州大学洛杉矶分校或加州大学洛杉矶分校的团队,最近发布了一份报告,研究美国种族隔离的改变方式.
128schools.学校。
129The report is called The Unfinished Battle for Integration in a Multiracial America, From Brown to Now.报告名为"在多种族美洲融合的未完成战役,从布朗到现在".
130It was written by two UCLA professors, Gary Orfield and Ryan Flager.由加州大学洛杉矶分校的两位教授加里·奥菲尔德(英语:Gary Orfield)和瑞安·弗莱格(英语:Ryan Flager)撰写.
131The study found that schools have gotten less white and more Latino, Asian, and multiracial.研究发现,学校的白人越来越少,拉丁语,亚语和多种族也越来越少.
132But it also noted the number of schools considered intensely segregated tripled from 1988 to 2021.但是,它也注意到,1988年至2021年,被认为高度隔离的学校数量增加了三倍。
133The study defined intensely segregated as schools with white student populations of less than 10%.该研究将严重隔离定义为白人学生人数不到10%的学校。
134About 20% of American schools are intensely segregated, up from 7% in 1988, the report found.约20%的美国学校被严重隔离,而报告发现的1988年为7%。
135The study's writers state that schools of the South are dramatically less segregated than the apartheid conditions that had always existed before Brown.研究的作家们指出,南方的学校与布朗之前一直存在的种族隔离条件相比,隔离程度明显降低.
136However, Orfield and Flager add that the Supreme Court's decisions' historic aims have not been attained, and, as this report shows, we have been moving backward.然而,Orfield and Flager补充说,最高法院的裁决的历史目标尚未实现,而且,正如本报告所示,我们一直在倒退。
137The researchers found that Black and Latino students were the most highly segregated populations.研究人员发现黑人和拉丁裔学生是隔离程度最高的人群.
138In 2021, schools overall were 45% mostly white.2021年,学校总体为45%,大部分为白人.
139But on average, Black students attended schools that were about 76% non-white.但平均来说,黑人学生就读于非白人的学校约为76%.
140For Latino students, the school average was about 75% non-white.对于拉丁裔学生来说,学校的平均水平约为75%的非白人.
141Education experts say segregation especially hurts Black and Latino schools.教育专家说隔离特别伤害黑人和拉丁裔学校.
142This is because they are often underfunded and have higher rates of teacher shortages.这是因为他们往往资金不足,教师短缺率较高。
143Non-white school districts receive $23 billion less funding than mostly white school districts, a 2019 report by the nonprofit group EdBuild found.非白人校区获得的资金比大多数白人校区少230亿美元,这是非营利团体EdBuild发现的2019年的报告.
144The trends are toward increasing double segregation by both race or ethnicity and poverty, the UCLA study said.加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究指出,趋势是种族或族裔和贫困的双重隔离日益加剧。
145Researchers at another California university, Stanford, found that schools are getting more segregated even as neighborhoods have gotten more diverse and racial economic inequality has improved.另一所加州大学斯坦福分校的研究人员发现,学校的隔离程度越来越高,即使邻里越来越多样化,种族经济不平等也有所改善。
146The findings indicate that policy choices, not demographic changes, are driving the increase, said Sean Reardon.Sean Reardon说,调查结果表明,政策选择而不是人口变化正在推动增长。
147He is a professor at Stanford who specializes in how poverty and inequality affects education.他是斯坦福的教授,专门研究贫穷和不平等如何影响教育。
148The UCLA study noted that desegregation policies following the Brown decision were generally aimed at improving access to schools for Black students.加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究报告指出,布朗决定之后的消除隔离政策一般旨在改善黑人学生上学的机会。
149But 70 years later, the issue of school segregation has gotten more complex.但70年后,学校隔离问题变得更加复杂.
150Latinos now make up the largest U.S. minority group, and the Asian population has also grown.拉美裔目前是美国最大的少数民族,亚洲人口也有所增加.
151Most Americans of all racial groups think integrated schools are better, but are divided about what, if anything, to actually do, the UCLA study states.在所有种族群体中,大多数美国人认为综合学校比较好,但对于加州大学洛杉矶分校实际上要做什么却有分歧.
152The researchers offered several suggestions for improving integration.研究人员提出了若干改进一体化的建议。
153One is for districts to increase efforts to register students from poorer areas and offer more diverse school programs.一是各地区加大贫困地区学生注册工作力度,提供更加多样化的学校计划.
154A 2018 article by the nonprofit group EdUtopia described how some school districts have been successful in improving integration.非营利团体EdUtopia的一篇2018年的文章描述了一些校区是如何成功改善融合的.
155In Cambridge, Massachusetts, for example, every school must have a balance of wealthier and poorer families.例如,在马萨诸塞州剑桥,每所学校都必须有富裕和贫穷家庭的平衡.
156In San Antonio, Texas, bilingual schools and other specialized programs have brought in students from many different backgrounds.在德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥,双语学校和其他专门方案吸引了来自许多不同背景的学生。
157And in New York City, schools have made progress by removing standardized testing requirements.而在纽约市,学校通过取消标准化测试要求而取得了进展.
158Others introduced admittance systems that take into account whether a student is poor, homeless, or a non-native English speaker.其他人则引入了入学制度,其中考虑到学生是贫困、无家可归还是非母语英语。
159American schools have been moving away from the goal of Brown and creating more inherently unequal schools for a third of a century, writers of the UCLA study wrote.加州大学洛杉矶分校研究的作者写道,美国学校已经偏离了布朗的目标,在三分之一的世纪里创建了更本质上不平等的学校.
160It will soon become understood once more that schools that serve all children together with equity are central to any good outcomes.人们很快将再次认识到,平等为所有儿童服务的学校是取得任何良好结果的核心。
161I'm Dan Novak.我是丹・诺瓦克。
162In this next report, Mario Ritter Jr. tells us about changes in world trade.在下一次的报告中,小马里奥·里特(Mario Ritter)讲述了世界贸易的变化.
163We learn about how U.S.-China trade disagreements have had an effect on Vietnam.我们了解到美中贸易分歧如何对越南产生影响.
164Pay careful attention to the word surge.注意字涌.
165We will talk more about it after the report.我们将在报告之后更多地讨论这个问题。
166As the United States increases tariffs to reduce trade with China, it has greatly increased imports from Vietnam.随着美国增加关税以减少与中国的贸易,极大地增加了从越南的进口.
167The Southeast Asian country, however, depends on China for much of its exports to the U.S.然而,东南亚国家大部分出口到美国的商品依赖中国.
168The Reuters news agency recently studied information from the World Bank and economic experts.路透社最近研究了世界银行和经济专家提供的信息。
169It shows that the value of China's exports to Vietnam almost matches the value of exports from Vietnam to the U.S. in recent years.这表明中国对越南出口的价值与近年来越南对美国出口的价值几乎一致.
170Last year, the U.S. imported over $114 billion of goods from Vietnam.去年,美国从越南进口了超过1 140亿美元的货物。
171That was more than two times more than 2018 when U.S.-China trade disputes began.这比2018年美中贸易纠纷开始时高出2倍多.
172That increase happened as U.S. imports from China dropped by $110 billion.这一增长是在美国从中国进口减少1 100亿美元时发生的。
173Hung Nguyen is an expert in supply chains or networks of product suppliers with RMIT University Vietnam.洪阮是越南RMIT大学的供应链或产品供应商网络专家.
174He said that in important industries such as clothing and electronic equipment, Vietnam captured more than 60% of China's loss.他说,在服装和电子设备等重要行业,越南收获了中国损失的60%以上.
175However, data show that much of Vietnam's exports to the U.S. are parts or components produced in China.然而,数据显示越南对美国的大部分出口都是中国生产的零部件.
176The Asian Development Bank estimates that imported parts account for 80% of the value of Vietnam's electronic exports in 2022.亚洲开发银行估计进口零件占2022年越南电子出口值的80%.
177The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said in a report that 90% of goods imported by Vietnam's electronics and clothing industries in 2020 were then embodied in exports.经济合作与发展组织在一份报告中指出,2020年越南电子和服装工业进口的90%的货物随后都体现在出口中.
178That number, the Organization said, was higher than in earlier years and far above the average in industrialized countries.本组织说,这一数字高于前几年,远远高于工业化国家的平均水平。
179In the first three months of 2024, U.S. imports from Vietnam added up to $29 billion, while Vietnam's imports from China totaled $30.5 billion.在2024年的前三个月,美国从越南的进口累计达290亿美元,而越南从中国的进口总额达305亿美元.
180Darren Tay is the lead economist at the research company BMI.达伦 Tay是BMI研究公司的首席经济学家.
181He said the surge in Chinese imports in Vietnam coinciding with the increase in Vietnamese exports to the U.S. may be seen by the U.S. as Chinese firms using Vietnam to skirt the additional tariffs imposed on their goods.他说,随着越南对美国出口的增加,中国在越南进口的激增,可能被美国视为中国企业利用越南来逃避对其商品征收的额外关税。
182He noted that could lead to tariffs against Vietnam after the U.S. presidential elections.他指出,这可能导致美国总统选举后对越南征收关税.
183Vietnam now has the fourth largest trade surplus with the U.S.越南目前与美国的贸易顺差居第四位.
184That surplus is only smaller than the ones the U.S. has with China, Mexico, and the European Union.这种盈余只比美国对中国、墨西哥和欧洲联盟的盈余少。
185The growing trade imbalance comes as Vietnam seeks market economy treatment from the United States.随着越南寻求美国给予市场经济待遇,贸易日益失衡。
186U.S. President Joe Biden has pushed to increase diplomatic ties.美国总统乔·拜登推动加强外交关系.
187The U.S. Embassy in Hanoi did not comment on trade imbalances.美国驻河内大使馆没有评论贸易不平衡.
188Vietnam's foreign and trade ministries did not answer requests for comment, and China's commerce ministry did not immediately answer a request for comment from Reuters.越南外经贸部未回复征求意见请求,中国商务部也未立即回复路透社的征求意见请求.
189The increase in China-Vietnam-U.S. trade takes place as investments in Southeast Asian countries rise.中国-越南-美国贸易的增加是随着对东南亚国家的投资增加而发生的.
190Companies involved in the area are moving some of their activities from China.参与该地区的公司正在将其一些活动从中国转移。
191Many Chinese companies set up new factories in Vietnam, but they still heavily depend on supplies from their homeland.许多中国公司在越南建立了新的工厂,但它们仍然严重依赖家乡的供给.
192After a 2023 investigation, the U.S. Commerce Department found that some of the trade was just a way to place Made in Vietnam on finished solar panels to avoid tariffs.经过2023年的调查,美国商务部发现,部分贸易只是将马德在越南装上成品太阳能板以避免关税的一种方式.
193Another reason Vietnam is getting U.S. attention is its involvement in the Xinjiang area in China.越南受到美国关注的另一个原因是它参与了中国的新疆地区.
194The U.S. bans imports from the area over accusations of human rights violations against minority Uyghurs.美国禁止从该地区进口,因为指控维吾尔少数民族侵犯人权。
195Xinjiang is China's main producer of cotton and polysilicon, a material used to make solar panels.新疆是中国棉花和聚硅的主要生产国,是制造太阳能电池板的材料.

197Vietnam's clothing and solar panels accounted for about 9% of exports to the U.S. last year.越南的服装和太阳能电池板在去年对美国的出口中约占9%.
198Vietnam passed China as the main exporter of products covered by the Xinjiang ban last year, said Hung Nguyen of RMIT.越南通过中国,成为去年新疆禁产产品的主要出口国,RMIT的洪阮说.
199The Biden administration has remained quiet about Vietnam's large trade surplus.拜登政府对于越南巨大的贸易顺差一直保持沉默.
200Some experts say that may change after the November elections in the U.S.一些专家表示,在美国11月的选举之后,可能会有所改变.
201Nguyen Ba Hung is an economist at the Asian Development Bank.阮巴雄是亚洲开发银行的经济学家.
202He said, it is possible that whoever wins may change the policy towards Vietnam, but that would also risk increasing U.S. import costs.他说,无论谁获胜,都有可能改变对越南的政策,但这也有可能增加美国进口成本。
203I'm Mario Ritter, Jr.我是小马里奥・里特
204Before the report, we asked you to pay careful attention to the word surge.在报告之前,我们请大家仔细注意“激增”一词。
205Can you remember when you heard it?你还记得你听到吗?
206You heard the term used in a quote from Darren Tay, an economist.你听到经济学家达伦·塔伊的引文里说的
207Let's listen again.师再听.
208He said, the surge in Chinese imports in Vietnam coinciding with the increase in Vietnamese exports to the U.S.他说,中国在越南进口的激增与越南对美国出口的增加相吻合。
209may be seen by the U.S. as Chinese firms using Vietnam to skirt the additional tariffs imposed on their goods.美国可能视之为中国企业利用越南来逃避对其商品征收的额外关税.
210In our example, surge is a noun.在我们的例子中,激增是一个名词。
211We spell it like this, S-U-R-G-E.我们这样拼,S -U -R
212A surge is a large, sudden increase.激增是突然增加的。
213You will often see the term used in news stories about business or the economy.你将经常看到有关商业或经济的新闻中所使用的术语。
214For example, you might hear about a surge in trade.例如,你可能会听到贸易激增的消息。
215A surge in unemployment, a surge in debt levels, and so on.失业率猛增,债务水平猛增等.
216Please note that surge also has a verb form that is also commonly used.请注意,激增也有一个常用的动词形式。
217The verb form requires a slightly different sentence structure.动词形式需要略有不同的句子结构.
218For example, you might use the verb surge like this.例如,你可能会使用这样的动词突起.
219Unemployment has surged in recent months.最近几个月,失业率激增。
220Or you might use the noun form of surge like this.或者你可能会用这种名词形式涌出
221There has been a surge in unemployment in recent months.近几个月来,失业人数激增。
222The two sentences have almost the exact same meaning.这两句含义几乎完全相同.
223And that's the lesson of the day.而今之训也.

102Mathieu Gallas is the head of Automation Research at Upnext, a special technology research laboratory for Airbus.Mathieu Gallas是空中客车特别技术研究实验室Upnext的自动化研究负责人.
103He told Reuters news agency, these use cases are much more critical and complicated compared to those of the car industry.他告诉路透社,与汽车业相比,这些使用案例更为批评和复杂.
104Slow speed airport crash incidents rarely result in serious injuries or deaths.速度缓慢的机场失事事件很少导致重伤或死亡.
105But they represent a costly and growing problem for airlines, airports, insurers, and passengers.但是,这对航空公司、机场、保险公司和乘客来说是一个代价高昂和日益严重的问题。
106Such incidents can cause major passenger delays.此类事件可造成乘客重大延误。
107They also can lead to costly plane repairs.它们还可能导致昂贵的飞机修理。
108The chief executive of Upnext is Michael Augello.Upnext的首席执行官是迈克尔·奥杰洛.
109He said in a statement that a big aim of the Optimate project is to demonstrate a new system to support safer and more efficient air travel.他在一份声明中说,优化项目的一大目的是展示一个支持更安全和更高效的空中旅行的新系统.
110The Upnext team says the refitted truck is to be tested live at airports in preparation for testing A351,000 aircraft in the future.Upnext小组说,经过翻新的卡车将在机场进行现场测试,以备将来测试A351 000飞机。
111Company officials say if the airport tests are successful, the project could also result in airplane design changes.公司官员表示,如果机场测试成功,该项目还可能导致飞机设计改变.
112But getting such systems approved can be a long and difficult process.但批准这种系统可能是一个漫长和困难的过程。
113Gallas said Airbus jets already use some automation technologies to limit pilot error.加拉斯说,空中客车喷气机已经使用一些自动化技术来限制飞行员错误.
114But those systems are not considered fully autonomous.但这些系统不被认为是完全自主的。
115In other words, they can only predict and behave in certain situations.换句话说,它们只能在某种情况下预测和行为。
116The testing truck is equipped with light-based LiDAR technology.测试车装有轻便的LiDAR技术.
117LiDAR uses a series of sensors and light lasers that can measure distances and produce three-dimensional 3D maps of the surrounding environment.LiDAR使用一系列传感器和光激光,可以测量距离,生成周围环境的三维三维地图.
118Airbus said the research vehicle is expected to explore progressively higher levels of automation as the experiments continue.空中客车表示,随着实验的继续进行,研究车预计将逐步探索更高的自动化水平.
119The company noted it has no immediate plans to introduce autonomous jetliners to the skies.该公司指出,它没有立即向天空引进自主喷气式飞机的计划。
120Karim Mokadam is a former automobile executive.卡里姆·莫卡丹是前汽车执行官.
121He now leads research and technology for Airbus.他现在领导空中客车的研究和技术.
122He told Reuters he thinks LiDAR will be the most effective technology for the testing vehicle.他告诉路透社,他认为LiDAR将是测试车最有效的技术.
123The possible use of LiDAR to improve aircraft safety recently received attention after severe turbulence hit a Singapore Airlines jet.在新加坡航空公司一架喷气式飞机遭遇严重动荡之后,最近人们注意到可能使用LiDAR来改进飞机安全。
124That incident left one passenger dead and several others injured.这一事件造成一名乘客死亡,若干人受伤。
125Researchers have looked at LiDAR technology as a possible way to identify and track possibly dangerous air currents that may not be picked up by radar equipment.研究人员将LiDAR技术视为一种可能的方法,用以识别和跟踪雷达设备可能无法探测到的可能危险的气流.
126Reuters reported that Boeing began testing such a system in 2018.路透社报道,波音于2018年开始测试这样的系统.
127Technology experts are looking to possibly expand LiDAR as a tool to help predict turbulence.技术专家希望能够扩大LiDAR,作为预测动荡的工具。

134This week, you reported on a proposed new system to equip airplanes with self-taxing technology.这个星期,你汇报了一个 给飞机配备自税技术的新系统
135We learned that testing of such a system has already started in Europe.我们了解到,这种系统的试验已经开始在欧洲进行。
136But when can we expect to see experiments happening in other parts of the world?但是,我们何时能够期待在世界其他地方进行实验?
137So the research team at Airbus is saying these experiments are currently still in the beginning stages in France.所以空中客车的研究小组说,这些实验目前仍在法国的初始阶段.
138The system did recently receive a lot of attention when the technology was demonstrated at a large technology event in Paris.系统最近在巴黎的大型技术活动上演示技术时确实受到很多关注.
139And at that show, media representatives and members of the public were able to get a close-up look at how the self-taxing tool operates.而在那场演出中,媒体代表和公众都能够对自我课税工具的运作进行特写.
140But the researchers say they will have to carry out numerous experiments in airport settings to get the system ready for an eventual final test.但研究者说,他们必须在机场环境里进行许多实验,以使系统做好最终测试的准备.
141And that one is expected to demonstrate a fully automated gate-to-gate trip involving an A350 test aircraft.预计这架飞机将显示全自动的门对门飞行,涉及一架A350试验飞机。
142Some experts noted in the report the new Airbus experiments were announced after several accidents happened at airports that involved taxiing planes.一些专家在报告中指出,新的空中客车试验是在机场发生几起涉及出租车的事故之后宣布的。
143Did Airbus mention anything about those?空中客车有没有提到这些?
144No, Airbus has not directly linked its new experiments with those incidents.不,空中客车没有直接将其新的实验与这些事件联系起来。
145But company officials have said one of the main reasons this technology is being tested now is because of newer advancements with these systems and also the testing methods.但公司官员说,现在测试这种技术的主要原因之一 是因为这些系统有了新的进步 以及测试方法。
146And the company has also said one of the main goals of the project is to create a better system to assist pilots on the ground during taxiing operations, which can be quite dangerous.而该公司也表示,该项目的主要目标之一是创建一个更好的系统,在出租车作业中协助地面的飞行员,这可能是相当危险的.
147And while these taxi incidents usually do not result in injuries or deaths, they can cost airlines a lot of money and create major passenger delays.而虽然这些出租车事件通常不会造成人员伤亡,但它们会让航空公司花费很多钱,并造成乘客的重大延误.

50Very small organisms that live in the world's farm fields release nitrous oxide gas.生活在世界农田中的极小生物释放出一氧化二氮气体.
51Some scientists link the gas to climate change.一些科学家将气体与气候变化联系起来.
52They are looking for a way to deal with the issue.他们正在寻找处理这一问题的办法。
53Now, some researchers think they have found bacteria现在,一些研究人员认为他们发现了细菌
54that can help reduce the amount of nitrous oxide released.有助于减少一氧化二氮的释放量。
55In a recent publication of Nature, scientists said tests in the laboratory and in the field在最近出版的《自然》中,科学家们说,在实验室和实地进行了试验。
56showed that one kind of bacteria reduced nitrous oxide without hurting other microbes in the soil.一种细菌在减少一氧化二氮时不会伤害土壤中的其他微生物。
57The bacteria also survived well in soil and would not be very costly to produce.这些细菌也在土壤中幸存下来,生产成本不会很高。
58Lars Bakken is with the Norwegian University of Life Sciences.拉尔斯·巴克肯是挪威生命科学大学的成员.
59He was one of the writers of the study.他是该研究的作家之一.
60Bakken said it opens up a number of new possibilities in bioengineering of the farmed soil.Bakken说,它为养殖土壤的生物工程开辟了许多新的可能性.
61The Associated Press reports that nitrous oxide can warm the atmosphere 265 times more美联社报道,一氧化二氮能温暖大气层265倍
62than an equal amount of carbon dioxide.数量等于二氧化碳。
63Nitrous oxide can remain in the atmosphere for more than a hundred years.氧化氮可以在大气中停留100多年.
64Farmers' use of nitrogen fertilizer drives up the amount of nitrous oxide produced in soil.农民使用氮肥使土壤中产生的一氧化二氮量增加。
65The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said that, in 2022,美国环境保护局说,2022年,
66nitrous oxide made up 6% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions from human activities.一氧化二氮占美国人类活动温室气体排放总量的6%.
67That is a big problem in agriculture, said Lori Hoagland of Purdue University in the state of Indiana.印第安纳州普杜大学的Lori Hoagland说,这是一个农业方面的大问题。
68Hoagland was not involved in the recent study.Hoagland没有参与最近的研究。
69She described the plan to reduce nitrous oxide as really interesting.她形容减少一氧化二氮的计划非常有趣.
70Bakken and other researchers used organic waste to grow their bacteria.Bakken和其他研究者利用有机废物来培育他们的细菌.
71Building on past work, the researchers looked for a microorganism研究者们根据过去的工作 寻找微生物
72that would last long enough to reduce nitrous oxide emissions足以减少一氧化二氮的排放
73without staying in the soil so long that it hurt other life forms that are important for crop health.在土壤中停留的时间太长,以至于伤害了其他对作物健康很重要的生命形式。
74In field tests, the researchers used robots to measure nitrous oxide emissions during the day and during the night.在现场测试中,研究人员使用机器人测量白天和夜间的一氧化二氮排放.
75They compared conditions in soil with and without the bacteria.它们将土壤中的条件与细菌和无细菌相比。
76Researchers found the bacteria reduced the nitrous oxide emissions of the first fertilizer treatment by 94%.研究人员发现细菌将第一次化肥处理的一氧化二氮排放量减少了94%.
77Two weeks later, the bacteria reduced the emissions of a second fertilizer treatment by about half.两周后,细菌将第二次化肥处理的排放量减少了约一半.
78After about three months, there was no difference in the makeup of microbial life forms.大约三个月后,微生物生命形态的构成没有区别.
79This suggested to the researchers that their bacteria would not change or hurt the soil.这向研究人员表明,他们的细菌不会改变或伤害土壤。
80The bacteria that researchers used is found naturally in anaerobic digesters,研究人员使用的细菌自然存在于厌氧消化器中,
81machines that are already being used to turn organic waste products like cow manure into biofuels.已经用于将牛粪等有机废物产品转化为生物燃料的机器。
82The researchers said the bacteria are not genetically modified.研究者表示细菌没有转基因.
83That might ease acceptance of their use, said Paul Carini of the University of Arizona.亚利桑那大学的保罗·卡里尼说,这可能会减少接受使用这些物质的可能性。
84Carini was also not involved in the research.卡里尼也没有参与研究.
85Bakken said the bacteria could be included in some fertilizers on farms in three to four yearsBakken说,这些细菌可以在三到四年内纳入农场的一些肥料中
86if people think it is worth the cost.如果人们觉得这值得付出代价的话
87Carini thinks using the bacteria is worth it.卡里尼认为利用细菌是值得的.
88Any time you are using a waste product from one industry to benefit another industry, that's pretty cost-effective, he said.他说,每当你用一个行业的废品 来为另一个行业谋福利的时候, 成本效率相当高。
89However, Bakken pointed out that farmers are not paid for reducing nitrous oxide emissions.然而,Bakken指出,农民没有为减少一氧化二氮排放而付费。
90He thinks there must be additional incentives for emissions reductions.他认为,减排必须有额外的激励措施。
91The task for the authorities is to install policy instruments that makes it profitable in one way or another, he said.他说,当局的任务是安装政策工具,使其以某种方式盈利。
92Hoagland, the Purdue professor, said more research in field conditions would likely be neededPurdue教授Hoagland说,可能需要对实地条件进行更多的研究。
93before the bacteria could be used worldwide.在细菌可以被全世界使用之前
94That is because soil is different in places around the world.这是因为世界各地的土壤不同。
95If they can get this to work across soils, it would just have a tremendous impact, for sure, she said.如果它们能在土壤中发挥作用, 肯定会产生巨大的影响, 她说。

110The workers went through the program themselves and often share the same language and background as the families they serve.工人自己通过这个方案,常常与他们所服务的家庭使用相同的语言和背景。
111The program operates mostly in poor neighborhoods and through school districts and organizations for immigrant and refugee families, said Miriam Westheimer.Miriam Westheimer说,该方案主要在贫穷的街区和通过校区及移民和难民家庭组织开展。
112She is chief program officer for HIPPE International, which operates in 15 countries and 20 U.S. states.她是在15个国家和20个美国州运作的HIPPE国际的首席方案干事。

121If more resources exist, more families can be served, he said.他说,如果有更多的资源,就可以为更多的家庭提供服务。

132Parents also become better advocates for themselves and their children.父母也成为自己和子女更好的代言人。

144I'm Dan Novak.我是丹・诺瓦克。
145Dan Novak joins me now to talk more about today's education report.丹·诺瓦克现在跟我一起 谈谈今天的教育报告
146Hi Dan, welcome.嗨,丹,欢迎。
147Hi Ashley.嗨,艾许莉。
148Today's story was about home visiting programs for parents of young children.今天的故事是关于幼儿父母的家访节目.
149How do these differ from more traditional child care services?这些与较传统的儿童保育服务有何不同?
150As many American parents know, child care can be very expensive.许多美国父母知道,儿童保育费用可能非常昂贵.
151The Think Tank Center for American Progress says child care for an infant costs an average of $16,000 a year.美国进步智囊团中心说,每年平均需要花费16 000美元来照顾婴儿。
152That is 21% of the median income for a family of three.三口之家收入中位数的21%。
153That would include services like nannies or daycare, so yeah, really costly.包括保姆或日托服务,所以是的,非常昂贵。
154Home visiting is not around-the-clock child care, but trained professionals go into homes and work with parents with babies家访不是全天候的儿童保育,而是训练有素的专业人员回家,与有婴儿的父母一起工作。
155to give them advice on things like breastfeeding or how to get babies safely asleep.给他们一些建议 比如母乳喂养 或者如何让婴儿安全睡觉
156For older toddlers, they teach parents how to be supportive in helping them read or play, for example.对于年长的幼儿,他们教父母如何支持他们读书或玩耍。
157These programs are often free of charge and supported by the Federal Department of Health and Human Services.这些方案往往是免费的,并得到联邦卫生和公众服务部的支持。
158As I mentioned in the story, many immigrant families have been able to take advantage of home visiting services.正如我在故事中提到的,许多移民家庭能够利用家访服务。
159Between work and other responsibilities, it can be hard for some parents to center all their attention on their children.在工作和其他责任之间,有些父母很难把注意力集中在子女身上。
160Recent immigrants might not be familiar with the American education system最近移民可能不熟悉美国的教育制度
161and might not know the best way to prepare their children for kindergarten.可能不知道如何让孩子做好幼儿园的准备
162So for now, home visiting services are mostly targeted towards recent immigrants or poorer families.因此,目前,家访服务主要针对最近移民或贫困家庭。
163You note in the story that about 17 million families nationwide could receive home visiting services.您在故事中注意到,全国大约有1 700万个家庭可以得到家访服务。
164But in 2022, only about 270,000 did.但到了2022年,只有约27万.
165Why is that?为什么?
166Yes, these programs have been proven to help prepare children for school and strengthen relationships between parents and children.是的,这些方案已证明有助于儿童为上学做好准备,并加强父母与儿童之间的关系。
167But a relatively small number of families have used home visiting services.但使用家访服务的家庭相对较少.
168That is because of a lack of funding.这是因为缺乏资金。
169Smaller local organizations need to operate home visiting programs like the one mentioned in the story from Colorado.更小的地方组织需要像故事中提到的科罗拉多州那样运行家访节目.
170But without enough funding, those local organizations are not able to operate.但是,如果没有足够的资金,这些地方组织就无法运作。
171But yearly funding for the home visiting program is set to double to $800 million by 2027.但是,到2027年,家庭探访方案的年度资金将增加一倍,达到8亿美元。
172Experts say that large increase should get more parents to take advantage of the program.专家表示,大幅增加应该让更多的家长利用这个计划.
173All right.好吧,我们走。
174Thanks so much for joining me today, Dan.谢谢你今天能来 丹
175You're welcome, Ashley.不用谢,阿什利。

180In this next report, Dan Friedel tells us about how criminals are using technology to steal cars.在下一份报告中,丹·弗里德尔讲述了犯罪分子是如何利用技术偷车的.
181We learn about a few steps people can take to protect cars from being stolen.我们了解到人们可以采取一些步骤来保护汽车不被偷.
182Pay careful attention to the word thieves.细察贼语.
183We will talk more about the term after the report.我们将在报告之后更多地谈论这个词。
184Most recent cars have an electronic key that lets the owner get into and start the car.近代车厢有电子钥匙,让车主进入并启动车厢.
185The electronic key is called a fob to those who know about the technology.电子密钥对于那些了解该技术的人来说叫做fob.
186The fob sends a short-range signal to the car.fob向车发出短程信号.
187As the owner gets close, the fob unlocks the door.随着主人接近,fob解锁了门.
188But the new technology also makes it easier for criminals to open the car without the key.但新技术也使得罪犯在没有钥匙的情况下开车更加容易.
189When you lock your car and take the key with you inside your home, the fob does not stop sending its signal.当你把车锁上,把钥匙带进你家里时,fob不会停止发送它的信号.
190Thieves who have special equipment known as scanners will pass by streets with a lot of cars.拥有被称为扫描仪的特殊设备的盗贼会带着大量的汽车经过街道.
191If the scanner shows that a fob is sending a signal, the thieves use a device that clones the signal and opens the car doors.如果扫描仪显示一个fob正在发送信号,盗贼会使用一个复制信号并打开车门的设备.
192Government officials around the world have asked carmakers to warn car buyers of the risks of the new technology.世界各地的政府官员要求汽车制造商警告汽车购买者新技术的风险.
193They also have asked them to make the fobs more secure.他们也要求他们提高安全性。
194Until then, what can you do to prevent your car from being stolen?在那之前,你能做什么来防止你的车被偷?
195Steve Launchbury有一些建议他与美联社分享.
196He is the head engineer of automotive security company Thatcham Research, based in Britain.他是位于英国的汽车保安公司Thatcham Research的总工程师.
197It's relatively easy for drivers to protect themselves, he said.他说,司机保护自己相对容易。
198The first tip is to put your key into a protective container or bag when you get home.第一个提示是回家后把钥匙放进保护容器或包里.
199One kind is called a Faraday bag.一种叫做法拉第包.
200They are not very costly.费用并不高。
201The bag is made from a special metal material called mesh that blocks the signal from the fob.包由一种叫做网状的特殊金属材料制成,它阻断了从fob发出的信号.
202Just do not forget to put any extra keys you have into that bag, too.别忘了把多余的钥匙放进袋子里
203Some advice that is easy to find online says people should put their keys into the microwave or freezer to prevent their signal from being stolen.一些容易在网上找到的建议说,人们应该把钥匙放进微波炉或冷冻箱,以防止他们的信号被盗.
204Launchbury said that does not work and it could harm your key.Launchbury说这行不通 可能会损害你的钥匙
205You may have seen large locks that go across the steering wheel in television advertisements many years ago.你可能看到很多年前在电视广告中 穿过方向盘的大锁
206It turns out they are still useful.事实证明它们仍然有用。
207They may be considered old school, but the presence of big locks that are easy to see makes car thieves turn away.他们可能被认为是古老的学派,但有容易看见的大锁的存在使得汽车盗贼转身.
208The only problem is that you must take extra time to unlock the device and put it away before you can drive away.唯一的问题是,你必须花更多的时间来解锁设备,并把它收起来,然后才能开车离开.
209Some car makers permit owners to deactivate the signals sent out by the fob.一些汽车制造商允许车主关闭fob发出的信号.
210For Ford, Honda, and Audi, owners can use their car's touch screen system to find the correct way to turn off the signal.对于福特,本田,和奥迪,车主可以使用他们的汽车触摸屏系统来寻找关闭信号的正确方法.
211For Toyota, you can turn off the signal by pressing a combination of buttons on the fob.对于丰田,可以按下fob上的组合按钮来关闭信号.
212Read your car's owner's manual to be sure how to do this.读你车主的手册 确定如何做到这一点。
213Some car makers include motion sensors on their key fobs.一些汽车制造商将运动感应器包含在他们的钥匙软体上.
214If the fob has not been moved in a while, the fob turns off.如果fob在一段时间内没有移动,fob会关闭.
215If you buy a used car, some experts suggest that you get your keys reprogrammed in case the earlier owner still has a key.如果你买了一辆旧车,一些专家建议你重新编程你的钥匙,以防之前的车主还有钥匙.
216Launchbury said some cars have a new system called a controller area network, or CAN.Launchbury说,有些汽车有一个新的系统,叫做控制区域网络,或者CAN.
217The network permits different parts or components of the car to communicate with each other.网络允许汽车的不同部件或部件相互通信.
218He said some thieves are trying to join the CAN through some physical electronic connection to unlock the car.他说有些小偷试图通过一些物理电子连接加入CAN,以解锁汽车.
219They can do this by removing a headlight and plugging in a device that lets them in the car's network.他们可以通过去掉一个车头灯并插入一个让他们进入汽车网络的设备来做到这一点.
220The device can send a signal such as unlock or start to the central system.设备可以向中央系统发送解锁或启动等信号.
221Launchbury said this is where the physical lock can cause thieves to change their mind and force them to move on.Launchbury说,这是物理锁可以使盗贼改变主意,迫使他们继续前进的地方.
222Owners can also consider electronic immobilizers.所有人还可考虑电子机动车。
223These devices prevent a car from moving even if a thief gets into the internal system.这些装置阻止汽车移动,即使小偷进入内部系统.
224However, immobilizers can be costly.然而,不动武器可能代价高昂。
225I'm Dan Friedel.我是丹・弗里德尔
226Can you remember when you heard it?你还记得你听到吗?
227You heard the term used several times in the report.你听到报告中多次使用这个词。
228Let's listen to the first example.愿听第一义譬.
229The word thieves is a plural noun.盗贼一词是一个复数名词.
230We spell thieves like this.我们这样拼写小偷
231The singular form of thieves is thief.窃贼的独有形式是盗贼.
232We spell thief like this.我们这样拼写贼
233A thief is a person who steals something.贼是盗物之人.
234When one thief works with another thief, we get two thieves.当一个贼和另一个贼合作时,我们得到两个贼.
235Both the singular thief and the plural thieves have the same vowel sound.单数的贼和复数的贼都有相同的元音.
236The big difference between the two words is the consonant or consonant sounds at the end of the word.两个词之间的巨大区别是词尾的相和或相和的声音.
237Thief ends in the consonant sound.窃贼的结局是相声
238This is a voiceless sound.这是一个无声的声音。
239In other words, you should not feel your vocal cords moving when you pronounce it.换句话说,你不应该感觉到你的声带在发音时会移动.
240Thieves ends with two consonant sounds.贼以两声相合而止.
241These are both voiced consonant sounds.这两种声音都是一致的。
242You should feel your vocal cords move when you pronounce these sounds.你应该感觉到你的声带移动 当你发出这些声音。

11The largest digital camera ever built for space scientists is ready to be put in place under the clear skies of northern Chile.为空间科学家建造的最大的数码相机已经准备好在智利北部晴朗的天空下安装。
12The camera can produce images above 3.2 gigapixels in size and weighs nearly three tons.相机可以产生大小超过3.2千兆像素的图像,重近3吨.
13A pixel is the smallest area of detail in a digital image.一个像素是数字图像中最小的细节领域.
14The camera is one of the main pieces required of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory.照相机是Vera C. Rubin天文台需要的主要作品之一.
15The pieces include a telescope with a mirror that is 8.4 meters across and the huge camera.碎片包括一个望远镜,其镜像横跨8.4米,以及巨大的相机.
16The observatory is expected to start full science operations in 2025.该观测站预计将于2025年开始全面科学运行.
17The observatory is on the top of a mountain called Cerro Paschon in the Coquembo area of Chile.该天文台位于智利科昆博地区的一座名为Cerro Paschon的山顶.
18It is on the edge of the Atacama Desert, 565 kilometers north of Chile's capital, Santiago.它位于智利首都圣地亚哥以北565公里的阿塔卡马沙漠边缘.
19Chile has many of the largest research telescopes in the southern half of the world because of the clear skies above the Atacama Desert, one of Earth's driest places.智利拥有世界上南半部最大的研究望远镜,因为阿塔卡马沙漠上空的天空晴朗,是地球上最干旱的地方之一。
20Stuart Corder is chief science officer for ORA, the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy.斯图尔特·科德是天文学研究大学协会ORA的首席科学官员.
21He is also a director of the Noir Lab Center, which will operate the telescope.他也是诺尔实验室中心的主任,该中心将操作望远镜.
22Corder said, everything that we needed for operations is now on the summit and ready for checkout and hopefully for installation a little bit later this year.Corder说,我们行动所需的一切现在都在峰会上,准备离职,希望在今年晚些时候安装。

27It will take pictures of the sky for 10 years, producing a huge database of information about all parts of the sky that can be seen from Chile.它将拍摄天空的照片长达10年,制作一个巨大的关于天空各个部分的信息数据库,从智利可以看到.
28Corder said one of the goals of the exploration will be to understand the nature of dark energy and dark matter in the universe.科斯特说,探索的目标之一是了解宇宙中暗能量和暗物质的性质.
29Scientists say these are forms of energy and matter that exist in theory but have not been observed.科学家说,这些是理论上存在但没有被观察到的能量和物质的形式.
30Corder said they are names we give to things because we don't really know what they are.Corder说他们是我们给的东西的名字 因为我们不知道它们是什么
31Another goal will be to search for and study asteroids that threaten to strike the Earth, or to look for nearby stars and planets.另一个目标是搜寻和研究有可能撞击地球的小行星,或者寻找附近的恒星和行星.
32Corder said the arrival of the camera was a really inspiring moment where you can say, we're starting.科斯特说摄影机的到来 是一个非常鼓舞人心的时刻 你可以说,我们正在开始。
33And he added, we're standing here at the precipice, getting ready to start a campaign that in 10 years we hope will answer the questions of他还说,我们站在悬崖边,准备开始一场运动, 我们希望在十年内能够回答

36A recent report from the UN Children's Agency UNICEF says that 181 million children younger than five live in severe food poverty.儿童基金会最近的一项报告指出,1.81亿5岁以下儿童生活在严重的粮食贫困之中。
37That is more than one-fourth of the world's youngest children.这是世界最小儿童的四分之一以上。
38The report centered on nearly 100 low- and middle-income countries.该报告以近100个中低收入国家为中心。
39The report defines severe food poverty as eating nothing in a day, or at best, two out of eight food groups the agency recognizes.报告将严重粮食贫困定义为一天内不吃东西,或最多是该机构承认的八分之二的食物群体。
40Africa's population of more than 1.3 billion people is one of the most affected, mainly due to conflict, climate crises, and rising food prices.非洲人口超过13亿,是受影响最严重的国家之一,主要原因是冲突、气候危机和粮食价格上涨。
41The continent accounts for one-third of those facing hunger and 13 of the 20 most affected countries.非洲大陆占饥饿人口的三分之一,在20个受影响最严重的国家中占13个。
42But the report noted some progress.但是,报告指出取得了一些进展。
43The percentage of children living in severe food poverty in West and Central Africa fell from 42% to 32% over the last 10 years, it said.它说,过去十年中,西非和中非严重粮食贫困儿童的比例从42%下降到32%。
44The report noted developments including diversified crops and performance-based rewards for health workers.报告指出了一些发展,包括作物多样化和对保健工作者的绩效奖励。
45Without important nutrients, children living with extremely poor diets are more likely to experience wasting.没有重要的营养,生活在极差饮食状况下的儿童更有可能遭受浪费。
46Wasting is a life-threatening form of malnutrition, UNICEF said.儿童基金会说,浪费是一种危及生命的营养不良形式。
47Harriet Torles is one of the report's writers.哈丽特·托勒斯是报告作者之一.
48She told the Associated Press, When wasting becomes very severe, they are 12 times more likely to die.她告诉美联社,当浪费变得非常严重时,他们死亡的可能性是12倍.
49In several Nigerian communities, UNICEF is training thousands of women in how to increase their family's nutrient intake with cassava, sweet potato, maize, and vegetables grown in gardens at home.在尼日利亚的几个社区,儿童基金会正在培训数以千计的妇女如何增加家庭的营养摄入量,并配有木薯、甜薯、玉米和在家花园种植的蔬菜。
50The agency is also helping train them in raising livestock and chickens.该机构还帮助培训他们饲养牲畜和鸡。
51Several women recently gathered in a Kaltongo village to learn how to prepare those foods.一些妇女最近聚集在一个Kaltongo村,学习如何准备这些食物。
52Even without rain, they can be grown in sand-filled containers that require little water.即使没有降雨,它们也可以生长在需要很少水的填沙容器中.
53Mothers in Nigeria also face the country's worst cost of living crisis.尼日利亚的母亲也面临该国最严重的生活危机。

57Kaltongo is a semi-arid area where climate change has limited rainfall in recent years.卡尔通戈是一个半干旱地区,近年来气候变化的降雨量有限.
58Some children have died of malnutrition in the past because there is little food, said Ladi Abdullahi.拉迪·阿卜杜拉希说,过去,一些儿童因为食物很少而死于营养不良。
59She helps train the women.她帮助训练女人。

64In Nigeria's troubled northwest area, the French medical organization Doctors Without Borders said at least 850 children died last year within 24 to 48 hours of being admitted to its health facilities.在尼日利亚的西北地区,法国医疗组织“无国界医生”说,去年至少有850名儿童在进入其保健设施24至48小时内死亡。
65Many malnourished children in the area never make it to a hospital because they live in rural areas or their families cannot pay for care.该地区许多营养不良的儿童从未上过医院,因为他们生活在农村地区,或其家庭无力支付护理费用。
66Inequality also plays a part in severe food poverty among children in Africa, the new report said.新报告说,不平等还在非洲儿童中造成严重的粮食贫穷。
67South Africa is the most unequal country in the world.南非是世界上最不平等的国家。
68And about one in every four children is affected by severe food poverty, even though it is the continent's most developed nation.大约四分之一的儿童受到严重粮食贫穷的影响,尽管它是非洲大陆最发达的国家。
69Governments and partners must act urgently, Torles said.Torles说,各国政府和合作伙伴必须采取紧急行动。
70The work starts now.现在开始工作了
71I'm Dan Nowak.我是丹诺瓦克
72South Korea has created a new national space agency to increase its capabilities and is aiming for a future Mars landing.韩国已设立了一个新的国家空间局,以提高其能力,并正致力于今后的火星着陆。
73President Jung Suk-yul recently announced the establishment of the Korea Aerospace Administration, CASA.郑书尧总统最近宣布成立韩国航空航天管理局(CASA).
74He said the country plans to spend about $70 billion on future space exploration.他说该国计划在未来的空间探索上花费约700亿美元.
75I have always believed that there is an infinite dream and future in outer space, Yoon said.Yoon说,我始终认为,外层空间有无限的梦想和未来。
76The South Korean leader added that the agency would seek to land a homegrown probe on the moon by 2032 and plant the South Korean flag on Mars by 2045.韩国领导人补充说,该机构将寻求在2032年前在月球上登陆本土探测器,并在2045年前在火星上种植韩国国旗.
77South Korean space officials say the newly formed agency will aim to establish better cooperation than in the past, when different government ministries were involved in space activities.南朝鲜空间官员说,新成立的机构的目标是建立比过去更好的合作,因为过去政府各部都参与了空间活动。
78All space efforts are now to be developed under the CASA.所有空间工作现在都将在小武器问题协调行动下进行。
79South Korea became the seventh country to own an indigenous space launch rocket.韩国成为第七个拥有本土空间发射火箭的国家.
80Last May, that vehicle, called Nury, successfully launched a large satellite into orbit.去年5月,那辆叫做Nury的汽车成功地将一颗大型卫星送入轨道。
81Additional Nury rocket launches are planned.计划再发射努里火箭。
82One is set for the second half of 2025.一个定于2025年下半年举行。
83In the next three years, South Korea plans at least three more space launches.在接下来的三年里,韩国计划至少再进行三次太空发射.
84It also aims to launch several military satellites.它还旨在发射数颗军用卫星。
85A CASA statement said the agency is modeled after the American space agency, NASA.CASA的一份声明说,该机构是仿照美国航天局,NASA的.
86It said CASA would act as an aerospace control tower to oversee space policy, satellite development, and exploration missions.它说,CASA将作为航空航天控制塔,监督空间政策、卫星开发和探索任务。
87Planned cooperative projects include expanding South Korea's involvement in Artemis III, NASA's planned effort to put astronauts back on the moon by 2026.计划的合作项目包括扩大韩国对阿耳忒弥斯三世的参与,美国宇航局计划在2026年让宇航员重返月球.
88Research and development at CASA will be led by John Lee, who spent 30 years with NASA.CASA的研发工作将由与NASA共事30年的约翰·李(John Lee)领导.
89Yoon said the country's space development budget would increase by $1.1 billion by 2027.尹说到2027年,国家空间开发预算将增加11亿美元.
90That is double the current space budget.这是目前空间预算的两倍。
91CASA will be headquartered in the city of Seochon, in South Korea's far south.CASA将总部设在韩国远南的徐川市.

79If there's a pandemic, there's going to be a huge demand for vaccine, said Richard Webby, a flu researcher at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis.如果发生大流行,疫苗需求会非常巨大,孟菲斯圣裘德儿童研究医院的流感研究员理查德·韦比(Richard Webby)说.
80The more vaccines, the better, he added.他补充说,疫苗越多,就越好。
81Since 2020, the bird flu virus has been spreading among different kinds of animals in many countries.自2020年起,禽流感病毒在许多国家不同种类的动物中传播.
82In March, it was found in U.S. dairy cows.3月,在美国乳牛中发现.
83However, investigators think it may have been in cows since December.然而,调查人员认为它可能自12月以来就存在于牛体内.
84Recently, the USDA announced it had been found in Alpacas for the first time.最近,USDA宣布它首次在阿尔帕卡斯被发现.
85At least three dairy farm workers in the U.S. have been diagnosed with bird flu.美国至少有3名奶制品农场工人被诊断患有禽流感.
86Their illnesses were not severe.他们的病情并不严重。
87But earlier versions of the same H5N1 flu virus have been deadly to humans in other parts of the world.但早期版本的同型H5N1流感病毒已经对世界其他地区的人类致命.
88And U.S. officials are taking steps to be prepared if the virus mutates to a deadlier version or permits it to spread more easily from person to person.如果病毒变异到更致命的版本, 或允许病毒在人与人之间更容易传播,
89Health officials say they already have two candidate vaccines for people that appear to be well matched to the bird flu virus in U.S. dairy cows.卫生官员表示,他们已经拥有两种候选疫苗,用于看起来与美国奶牛禽流感病毒相当的人.
90They say hundreds of thousands of prepared vaccines could go out immediately and nearly 10 million more treatments could be produced in a few months.他们说,数十万种制成的疫苗可以立即运出,几个月内可再生产近1000万种治疗方法.
91The drugmaker, CSL Securus, said the U.S. government hired it to fill and finish about 4.8 million shots that could be completed by late summer.制毒者CSL Securus说,美国政府聘请它来填充和完成大约480万张可以在夏末完成的镜头.
92But the production lines for flu vaccines are already working on this autumn's seasonal shots.但是,流感疫苗的生产线 已经工作在这个秋天的季节性拍摄。
93And drugmakers would have to stop the lines to produce the bird flu vaccine.毒贩必须停止生产禽流感疫苗。
94So the government has been looking for another faster pathway.因此,政府一直在寻找另一个更快的路径。
95药物制造者Moderna和Pfizer用于生产抗COVID-19疫苗的mRNA技术.
96Vaccine makers usually add elements of an inactive or weakened virus to the shot mixture.疫苗制造者通常会将非活性病毒或弱化病毒的元素添加到射击混合物中.
97But with mRNA vaccines, scientists instead create a genetic material to direct the human body to produce antibodies and recognize and destroy the virus.但是,有了mRNA疫苗,科学家反而创造了一种遗传材料来引导人体产生抗体并识别和摧毁病毒.
98Moderna already has a bird flu mRNA vaccine in very early testing in humans.在人类非常早期的测试中,现代已经拥有一种鸟流感mRNA疫苗.
99In a statement, Moderna said they are in discussions with the U.S. government on advancing our pandemic flu candidate.Moderna在一份声明中说,他们正与美国政府讨论推进我们的流感大流行候选人。
100Similar work has been going on at Pfizer.辉瑞公司也在进行类似的工作.
101Company researchers in December gave human volunteers an mRNA vaccine against a version of bird flu that is somewhat similar to the one in cows.公司研究人员在12月向人类志愿者接种了MRNA疫苗,以防治一种与牛流感相似的禽流感。
102Since then, researchers have performed a lab experiment exposing blood samples from those volunteers to the version seen in dairy cows.此后,研究人员进行了实验室实验,将这些志愿者的血液样本暴露在乳牛身上。
103Pfizer said in a statement that they saw notable increases in antibody responses.辉瑞在一份声明中说,他们看到抗体反应明显增加.
104As for cows, University of Pennsylvania researcher Scott Hensley worked with Nobel Prize winner Drew Weissman on an experimental vaccine similar to the Moderna one for people.至于牛,宾夕法尼亚大学研究员斯科特·亨斯利(Scott Hensley)与诺贝尔奖得主德鲁·魏斯曼(Drew Weissman)合作研制了一种类似于现代人疫苗的实验疫苗.
105In first step testing, mice and ferrets produced high levels of bird flu virus fighting antibodies after vaccination.在第一步测试中,小鼠和雪貂在接种疫苗后,产生了高水平的禽流感病毒对抗抗体.
106In another experiment, researchers infected one group of ferrets after vaccination.在另一个实验中,研究人员在接种疫苗后感染了一组黄貂.
107Then they compared what happened to unvaccinated ferrets.然后他们把事情比作未接种的雪貂
108All the vaccinated animals survived and the unvaccinated did not, Hensley said.亨斯利说,所有接种疫苗的动物都幸存了下来,未接种疫苗的动物没有幸存.
109The vaccine was really successful, said Webby of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis.疫苗很成功,孟菲斯的圣裘德儿童研究医院的韦比说.
110His lab did that work last year in partnership with Hensley.他的实验室去年和亨斯利合作完成了这项工作.
111The cow study will be similar to the early testing done in smaller animals.牛的研究将类似于在较小的动物身上所做的早期测试.
112The plan is for about 10 small cows to be vaccinated, half with one shot and half with another.计划约10头小牛接种疫苗,一半用一针,一半用另一针.
113Then their blood will be examined to look for how much bird flu fighting antibodies were produced.然后将检查他们的血液 以寻找有多少禽流感抗体生产。
114Hensley said that if a vaccine reduces the amount of virus in the cow, then ultimately we reduce the chance that a mutant virus that spreads in humans is going to emerge.亨斯利说,如果疫苗能减少牛体内病毒的数量,那么最终我们就会减少在人类中传播的变种病毒出现的机会.
115And that's the Health and Lifestyle Report.这就是健康与生活方式报告。
116I'm Anna Matteo.我是安娜・马特奥。

126In this case, to emerge means to become known or apparent.在这种情况下,出现的手段是变得已知或明显。
127And in fact, scientists call viruses that appear in a population for the first time, emergent viruses.事实上,科学家们把首次出现在人群中的病毒称为新兴病毒。
128Emergent is the adjective form of the verb emerge.emergent是动词出现的形容词形式.

11But first, here's Katie.但首先 凯蒂来了
12Tesla shareholders recently voted by a large majority to approve company chief Elon Musk's 10-year pay plan.特斯拉股东最近以多数票投票批准公司总裁埃隆·穆斯克的十年薪酬计划.
13The plan, valued by the company in April at $44.9 billion, was even more valuable earlier in the year.该计划在4月被公司估价为449亿美元,在当年早些时候更加有价值.
14However, Tesla's stock price has fallen about 25% since then.然而,特斯拉的股价自此下跌了约25%.
15The board and shareholders first approved the plan, which gives Musk special shares of stock in 2018.董事会和股东首先批准了该计划,该计划于2018年给予穆斯克特别股权.
16It aimed to reward Musk for reaching goals that include raising Tesla's market value, pre-tax income, and revenue.它旨在奖励穆斯克达到的目标,包括提高特斯拉的市场价值,税前收入和收入.
17But in January, a Delaware judge halted the plan.但在1月,一位特拉华州法官中止了该计划.
18She said the process for approving it was deeply flawed.她说,批准程序存在严重缺陷。
19The court ruled that Musk controlled the company's board and that shareholders were not fully informed.法院裁决穆斯克控制了公司的董事会,股东们也没有完全知情.
20But the company said Musk should get the pay because he turned Tesla into the top-selling electric vehicle maker in the world, increasing its market value by billions of dollars.但是公司说穆斯克应该得到报酬,因为他把特斯拉变成了世界上最畅销的电动车辆制造厂,使其市场价值增加了数十亿美元.
21Even with the re-approval vote, Musk will not get the stock plan just yet.即使重新批准 穆斯克也不会拿到股票计划
22Tesla is expected to ask the judge to reconsider her decision.预计特斯拉会要求法官重新考虑她的决定.
23If the judge does not revisit the decision, the company probably will appeal the ruling to Delaware's Supreme Court.如果法官不重审裁决,公司很可能会将裁决上诉至特拉华州最高法院.
24The process could take months.这一过程可能需要几个月。
25Musk's pay plan is the largest to-accompany chief of a U.S. public company.穆斯克的薪酬计划是一家美国公营公司最大的公司总经理.
26It is far above what has been given to other chief executives.它远远超出了给予其他行政首长的。
27Here is how the package compares.套件比较如下:
28The Associated Press partnered with Equilar, a company that researches pay for business chiefs,美联社与Equilar公司合作 该公司研究支付企业负责人,
29to study pay for CEOs, or Chief Executive Officers.学习首席执行官或首席执行官的薪酬。
30The study found that the median pay package for an S&P 500 CEO in the U.S. last year was $16.3 million.研究发现,去年美国S&P500CEO的中位薪酬包是1,630万美元.
31If you multiply that by 10 to get $163 million for 10 years of work, Musk's earnings would be 275 times greater.如果你再乘以10 得到1.63亿美元 工作10年,穆斯克的收入将增加275倍。
32In her January ruling that struck down the package, Delaware Chancellor Kathleen St. Jude McCormick wrote that Musk's package,特拉华州总理凯瑟琳·圣裘德·麦考密克在1月推翻包裹的裁决中写道,穆斯克的包裹,
33then worth about $56 billion, was 250 times larger than the median peer CEO's pay plan.然后价值约560亿美元, 比中位同级CEO的薪酬计划大250倍。
34在AP的研究中收入最高的是人工智能公司Broadcom Inc的CEOHok Tan.
35His package, mostly consisting of stock awards, was valued at about $162 million when given to Tan in 2023.他的套装,多由股票奖组成,2023年送给谭时价值约1.62亿美元.
36Because the company's stock rose in value, Broadcom in March valued the CEO's pay package, including earlier awards, at $767.7 million.由于公司的股价上升,Broadcom在3月以7.677亿美元的价格评价了CEO的整套薪酬,包括先前的奖励.
37That amount is much smaller than Musk's possible pay package of 304 million shares, worth almost $45 billion.这笔金额远小于穆斯克可能发行的3.04亿股的支付包,价值近450亿美元.
38Other CEOs identified by AP to have high pay include William Lansing of Fair Isaac Corporation and Tim Cook of Apple.其他被AP认定工资高的CEO包括公平艾萨克公司的威廉·兰辛和苹果公司的蒂姆·库克.
39Tesla says it did not pay Musk anything last year, but if courts permit his pay deal, Musk's pay in company stock will be in the billions.特斯拉说它去年没有给穆斯克任何报酬,但是如果法院允许他的工资交易,穆斯克在公司股票中的工资将达数十亿.
40Company documents from this year say the median yearly pay of Tesla employees, not including the chief last year, was $45,811.今年的公司文件说,Tesla雇员的年薪中位数是45 811美元,不包括去年的主管。
41I'm Katie Weaver.我是凯蒂·韦弗
42Thousands of fishermen holding nets stood side by side.数以千计持有渔网的渔民站在一起。
43They waited for the signal.他们等待信号。
44Suddenly they rushed to a large area of water and threw in their nets, dropping to their knees in the mud.突然,他们冲向大片水面,扔进网里,在泥中跪下。
45Soon after, one held up a fish the length of his arm.不久之后,有人举起一条鱼 手臂的长度。
46For several hundred years, people have gathered in the town of San in southern Mali for Sankemon, a collective fishing right.几百年来,人们聚集在马里南部的桑镇,为集体捕鱼权的桑凯蒙.
47It begins with animal sacrifices and offerings to the water spirits of Sanke pond.始于祭祀动物,祭祀桑克塘水灵.
48The right, with dancers and traditional costumes, is on UNESCO's List of Intangible Cultural Traditions.右配有舞者及传统服装,被列入联合国教科文组织"非物质文化传统名录".
49The list is meant to honor important places and activities to cultures around the world.该列表旨在纪念世界各地文化的重要场所和活动.
50The event celebrates the town's founding and marks the beginning of the rainy season.活动庆祝该镇成立,并标志着雨季的开始.
51But some people say climate change and heat waves are interfering with the tradition.但有些人说,气候变化和热浪干扰了传统。
52Sanke pond is starting to disappear, said a village chief, Mamadou Lamintroway.Sanke池塘开始消失 村长马马杜·拉明特罗韦说
53A heat wave in Mali this year has also led to deaths.今年马里的热浪也导致了死亡。
54The heat wave began in March, when many people in the Muslim-majority country observed the Islamic holy month of Ramadan with fasting.热浪始于3月,当时穆斯林占多数的国度中许多人以斋戒庆祝伊斯兰神圣的斋月.
55Fasting means to deny oneself food for a period.斋戒意味着在一段时间内不给自己食物.
56The Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Center said that limited data in Mali makes it impossible to know the number of heat-related deaths.红十字红新月气候中心表示,马里数据有限,无法知道与热有关的死亡人数.
57But the group still estimates that the deaths this year have likely been in the hundreds, if not thousands.但是,该小组仍然估计,今年的死亡人数很可能为数百人,甚至数千人。
58World Weather Attribution is a non-profit science group that looks at the effects of extreme weather.世界天气归属组织(World Weather Attribution)是一个研究极端天气影响的非营利科学团体.
59In April, the group released a study.4月,小组发布研究报告.
60It said the latest heat wave in the Sahel, the area of Africa south of the Sahara Desert, is extreme.它表示萨赫勒地区,撒哈拉沙漠以南的非洲地区的最新热浪是极端的.
61The researchers said climate change has made high temperatures in Burkina Faso and Mali hotter by 1.5 degrees Celsius.研究者表示,气候变化使布基纳法索和马里的气温上升1.5摄氏度。
62Experts have warned of more hot weather.专家警告天气更炎热.
63At the latest Sanke Mon collective fishing activity, men felt hot as they cooked chickens.最迟桑克孟集体捕鱼活动,男人们在煮鸡肉时感觉很热.
64A national flag waved on a weathered flagpole along the edge of the pond.一支国旗在水塘边风化的旗杆上挥舞.
65This tradition was already established before I was born, said Amadou Koulabali, who remains faithful to it, although there are growing difficulties.阿马杜·库拉巴利说,这一传统在我出生之前就已经确立,他仍然忠于这一传统,尽管困难越来越大。
66When the right was added to the UNESCO list in 2009, there were plans to dig deeper into the pond to prevent it from filling up with dirt,2009年,当该权利被列入联合国教科文组织名单时,有计划深入挖掘池塘,防止其填满泥土,
67Troet said.特洛伊特说。
68But since then, he explained, nothing was done, and the pond is starting to create problems.但此后他解释说,没有做任何事情,池塘开始产生问题.
69He said the pond's disappearance would threaten not just the ancient fishing activity, but also the town's economic survival.他说,池塘的消失不仅会威胁到古代的捕鱼活动,而且会威胁到该镇的经济生存.
70I'm Ashley Thompson.我是阿什利・汤普森。
71Apple is preparing to release a series of new artificial intelligence, AI tools on iPhones and other personal devices.苹果正准备发布一系列新的人工智能,iPhone上的AI工具和其他个人设备.
72Company officials have described the new offerings as a newly developed technology called Apple Intelligence.公司官员将新献品描述为一种新开发的技术,称为苹果智能.
73The announcement happened during Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference.公告发生在苹果全球开发者会议期间.
74The event took place last week at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, California.活动上周在位于加利福尼亚州库珀蒂诺的公司总部举行.
75Apple chief Tim Cook said at the conference that the AI tools will be supported by technology developed by chat GPT maker OpenAI.苹果总监蒂姆·库克在会上表示,AI工具将由聊天GPT制作者OpenAI开发的技术支持.
76The release of chat GPT in 2022 led to the launch of a new generation of AI tools that aim to perform at human levels.2022年的聊天GPT发布后,推出了新一代的AI工具,旨在人类层面的表演.
77Such tools, also known as chat bots or generative AI, are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and other kinds of creative work.这类工具又称聊天bots或基因AI,旨在与人类平稳互动,并进行高级写作和其他类型的创造性工作.
78Cook noted that Apple's new offerings are designed to improve on previous AI technologies, including the company's 13-year-old personal assistant Siri.库克指出,苹果公司的新报价旨在改进之前的AI技术,包括公司13岁的私人助理Siri.
79It's personal intelligence and it is the next big step for Apple, he said.他说这是个人的智慧 这是苹果的下一个大步骤
80OpenAI chief Sam Altman also attended Apple's conference.OpenAI首席山姆·阿尔特曼也出席了苹果公司的会议.
81He said in a statement the partnership with Apple aims to make it easier for people to benefit from what AI can offer.他在一份声明中说,与苹果公司的伙伴关系旨在使人们更容易从AI能提供的东西中获益.
82Apple officials said that in addition to adding OpenAI's technology, Siri was also receiving major upgrades.苹果公司官员表示,除了增加OpenAI的技术外,Siri还接受重大升级.
83The upgrades are designed to make the tool more personable and expand its uses.升级是为了让工具更能人格化,并扩大其用途.
84The new AI tools are designed to assist users across different areas.新的人工智能工具旨在协助不同领域的用户。
85This includes help with text messages, emails and calendars, as well as with many third-party apps.这包括帮助短信,电子邮件和日历,以及许多第三方应用程序.
86One example demonstrated at the conference was the ability of the upgraded Siri to fully write emails and change its voice.会上展示的一个例子是升级后的Siri能够完全写出电子邮件并改变声音.
87Apple officials have said the AI tools are designed to suggest to users when it might make sense to use Apple intelligence technology in addition to Siri.苹果公司官员表示,AI工具的设计是为了向用户建议除了Siri之外,当使用苹果智能技术可能有意义时.
88The new offerings will only operate on more recent models of the iPhone, iPad and Macs.新献品将只使用更近期的iPhone,iPad和Macs的模型.
89This is because the AI tools require powerful processors earlier models do not have.这是因为AI工具需要强大的处理器,更早的模型没有.
90For example, iPhone users will need to have last year's iPhone 15 Pro or by the next model expected to be released later this year.例如,iPhone用户需要去年的iPhone 15 Pro,或者通过预计今年晚些时候发布的下一个模型.
91Craig Federici is Apple's senior vice president of software engineering.Craig Federici是苹果公司的软件工程高级副总裁.
92He told reporters that all users will have the ability to turn off any AI tools they do not want on their device.他告诉记者,所有用户都将有能力关闭任何他们不希望在他们的设备上的AI工具.
93Apple has long claimed it values personal privacy by building tools into its operating systems that seek to protect user data.苹果公司长期以来一直声称它重视个人隐私,将工具建在其操作系统中,寻求保护用户数据.
94The company said it had taken the same steps to provide privacy protections for its new AI tools.该公司说,它采取了同样的步骤,为其新的AI工具提供隐私保护。
95Federici said the new AI tools will aim to provide a highly personalized service to give users intelligence that's most helpful and relevant for you, and it protects your privacy at every step.Federici说,新的AI工具将旨在提供高度个性化的服务,为用户提供对您最有帮助和最相关的情报,并在每一个步骤上保护您的隐私.
96One way Apple has tried to reduce concerns about its privacy policies moving forward is by stating that most AI tool activity will process on the device itself rather than at remote data centers.Apple试图减少对其隐私政策的关切,
97Such centers are known as cloud servers.这种中心被称为云服务器.
98Technology experts said this policy should also help Apple save money since AI processing through the cloud is far more costly than on a device.科技专家表示,这一政策也应帮助苹果省钱,因为通过云的AI处理比在设备上的成本要高得多.
99Apple officials said when users make AI demands requiring computing power beyond what is available on the device, the activity will be processed by a private cloud.苹果公司官员表示,当用户提出AI要求时,需要超出设备上可用的计算功率,该活动将由私人云处理.
100That system, the company says, is supposed to protect personal user data.该公司说,这个系统是为了保护个人用户数据。
101Federici explained the process by saying Apple's AI will be aware of your personal data without collecting your personal data.Federici解释了这一过程,说苹果的AI会知道你的个人数据而不收集你的个人数据.
102I'm Brian Lin.我是布莱恩林。
103And now we have Brian Lin to talk more about his technology report.现在我们让Brian Lin来谈谈他的科技报告
104Thanks for joining me, Brian.谢谢你陪我,布莱恩
105Of course, Mario, glad to be here.当然,马里奥,很高兴能来
106This week you reported on new AI tools Apple plans to release on its devices.本周你报告了苹果公司在设备上发布的新AI工具计划.
107After these plans were announced, some experts noted that Apple chose to wait much longer to add these tools than its major competitors.在这些计划公布后,一些专家指出,苹果公司选择比其主要竞争者等待更长的时间来添加这些工具.
108What can you tell us about that?你能告诉我们什么?
109Yes, some experts did point this out.是的,一些专家确实指出了这一点。
110Microsoft, for example, launched a new AI product called Copilot last February.例如微软在去年2月推出了名为Copilot的新AI产品.
111And this release made OpenAI's technology available to people using multiple Microsoft products, including computers, other devices, and its Bing search engine.而这一发布使得OpenAI的技术可以提供给使用多种微软产品的人,包括计算机,其他设备,以及它的Bing搜索引擎.
112And Google has been investing in AI development for several years and in fact released its own chat bot called Gemini late last year.而Google在AI开发上投资了几年,事实上去年晚些时候发布了自己称为双子座的聊天机器人.
113And Gemini has long been a part of Google's Pixel smartphones.而双子座长期是谷歌的像素智能手机的一部分.
114So while Apple did wait longer, this is quite common for how the company has handled other new releases in the past.所以在苹果公司等待时间更长的同时,对于公司过去处理其他新发行版的方式来说,这是相当常见的.
115We know Apple has historically placed great importance on protecting the privacy of its users.我们知道苹果公司在历史上十分重视保护其用户的隐私.
116How did company officials deal with this issue when explaining how its new offerings will work?公司官员在解释其新报价将如何运作时是如何处理这一问题的?
117Yes, Apple has explained one of its top security features is to have the majority of AI processes completed on the device itself rather than having information sent to remote servers.是的,苹果公司已经解释了它最顶尖的安全特性之一,即在设备本身上完成大多数AI进程,而不是将信息发送到远程服务器.
118And it is worth noting other companies take this privacy step as well.值得指出的是,其他公司也采取了这一隐私步骤。
119But Apple does say that when more server capacity is needed, say to complete more complex operations, some processes may be run through what it calls private cloud servers.但苹果公司确实表示,当需要更多的服务器容量时,说要完成更复杂的操作,一些进程可能会通过它所谓的私人云服务器运行.
120But again, it says these special servers have been designed to not save personal data and that they carry a very low risk of Internet attacks.但是,它又说这些特殊服务器的设计不是为了保存个人数据,它们具有极低的网络攻击风险.
121Thanks for that additional information, Brian.谢谢你的更多信息,布莱恩。
122We're looking forward to the next technology report.我们期待着下一次技术报告。
123You're welcome, Mario.不客气,马里奥。
124Thank you.谢谢

130This series shows Anna Matteo in her work and life in Washington, D.C.这个系列展示了安娜·马特奥在华盛顿特区的工作和生活.
131Today, we're going to look at the language in Lesson 48 of the series.今天,我们将研究系列第48课的语言.
132In this lesson, Anna meets a tourist visiting Washington and helps her find some places to visit.在这个课中,安娜遇到一位来访的游客,帮助她找到一些可以访问的地方.
133Hello, I have lived in Washington, D.C. for a long time now, and I have done a lot.你好,我已经在华盛顿特区住了很长时间,我做了很多工作。
134I feel that I know this city pretty well.我觉得我很了解这座城市
135Wait, that's the wrong way.等等,这是错误的方式。
136Where is it again?又在甚么处.
137Excuse me, can I help you?打扰了,有什么事吗?
138Have we met before?我们以前见过面吗?
139I don't think so.亦不见.
140I've just flown in from Boston.我刚从波士顿飞过来
141My name is Jean.我叫让
142Hi, Jean.嗨,让。
143I'm Anna.我叫安娜,你好吗?
144I really feel like we've met before.我觉得我们以前见过面
145Anyway, how can I help?总之,我能帮上什么忙?
146I want to see an interesting museum, but I don't know which one.我想看一个有趣的博物馆 但我不知道是哪个
147I can help with that.我可以帮你
148I've lived in Washington, D.C. a long time.常住华严.
149I think I've seen all the museums.我想我看过所有的博物馆
150Wow, thanks.谢谢
151So tell me, which museums are good?告诉我,哪个博物馆是好的?
152Well, they are all good, but they're all different.嗯,他们都很好,但他们都不同。
153There are science museums and history museums and art and culture museums.有科学博物馆和历史博物馆以及艺术和文化博物馆。
154I want to see an unusual museum.我想看看一个不寻常的博物馆。
155I like the sculpture garden.我喜欢雕塑花园
156Have you ever seen sculptures in a garden?你见过花园里的雕塑吗?
157It is really artistic.这是真正的艺术。
158I have never seen a garden of sculptures.我从没见过雕塑的花园
159I'll write that on my list.我会写在我的名单上。
160I noticed in this part that both Anna and Jean are using the present perfect tense to talk about their experiences.我注意到安娜和让都利用了现在的完美时态 来讲述他们的经历
161It's common to hear that in this kind of situation.常闻此境界.
162That's right.没错
163We use the present perfect tense to talk about an action in the past that is important in the present.我们利用目前的完美时态来谈论过去一项在当前非常重要的行动。
164For example, we heard Anna say,例如,我们听到安娜说,
165I have lived in Washington, D.C. for a long time now.我已在华盛顿特区居住了很长时间。
166The present perfect may be confusing for learners because we use it to talk about a past action.目前的完美可能令学习者感到困惑,因为我们用它来谈论过去的行为.
167It is called present perfect because speakers use it to stress the importance of a past event in the present.它被称为“目前完美”,因为发言者利用它强调过去活动在当前的重要性。
168You know, we hear another example a little later when Jean says,你知道,我们听到另一个例子 稍后,当让说,
169I've just flown in from Boston.我刚从波士顿飞过来
170The sentence, I've just flown in from Boston, stresses the present effect of a past event, the travel from Boston.句子,我刚从波士顿飞过来 强调了过去事件的影响 从波士顿出发的旅行
171The exact time of the travel is not important.旅行的确切时间并不重要.
172To form the present perfect, we use two verbs, a main verb and an auxiliary verb.为了形成现在的完美,我们使用两个动词,一个主动词和一个辅助动词.
173The auxiliary verb is have or has.辅助动词有或有.
174And the main verb is in something we call the past participle form.而主动词是用我们称之为过去participle形式的东西.
175For regular verbs, that just means you add D or ED to the base form of the verb.对于普通动词,仅指在动词的基质形式中加入D或ED.
176Yeah, like live and lived.是啊,像活着和活着。
177Let's give another example.再举个例子
178Have you ever lived in another country?你住过别的国家吗?
179I have lived in another country.我住在另一个国家。
180I've lived in France for a little while.我在法国住了一段时间
181And I've also been lucky because I've visited many different countries.我也很幸运 因为我访问了很多不同的国家
182So those verbs, visited, lived, they follow the rule and just add D or ED to the base form.因此,这些动词,访问,生活,他们遵循规则,只是将D或ED加入到基数表.
183But for irregular verbs, you might find different forms for the past participle.但对于不规则的动词,你可能会为过去的participle找到不同的形式.
184For example, the past participle of fly is flown.例如,过去的苍蝇部分被飞行。
185Just like the past participle of see is seen.和过去看到的一样
186For example, we can say, I've seen that movie.比如,我们可以说,我看过那部电影。
187Another way you can hear the present perfect in this conversation is with the adverbs ever and never.另一种方式,你可以听到现在的完美 在这个谈话中,是和副词 永远和永远。
188Listen again to this part.复听此部分.
189I like the sculpture garden.我喜欢雕塑花园
190Have you ever seen sculptures in a garden?你见过花园里的雕塑吗?
191It is really artistic.这是真正的艺术。
192I have never seen a garden of sculptures.我从没见过雕塑的花园
193I'll write that on my list.我会写在我的名单上。
194The sculpture garden is a beautiful place just a few blocks away from our office.雕塑园是一个美丽的地方 就在几条街外 我们的办公室。
195I noticed there that Jean used the negative adverb never,我注意到让从未使用过负面副词
196which of course means she hasn't had the experience of visiting that place.这当然意味着她没有去过那个地方
197I sometimes hear English learners saying I have ever when they want to say they have had an experience.有时,我听到英语学习者说,我曾经想说,他们有过经历。
198But that's not correct.但这样不对
199Is it, Jill?是吗,吉尔?
200No, I've heard that too.不 我也听说了
201I think the way to understand this is to remember we usually only use ever in a question formed with the present perfect,我认为理解这一点的方法 是记住我们通常只用在 与现在的完美,
202not in a statement or an answer to a question.不是在陈述或回答一个问题。
203You know, Andrew, something else stands out for me in what Jean said here.你知道,安德鲁,在让在这里说的话中,有别的东西是突出的。
204What's that, Jill?那是什么,吉尔?
205She says she'll add the sculpture garden to her list.她说她会把雕塑花园列入她的名单.
206In each of these lessons, we have included a different learning strategy to guide people to be more effective language learners.在每一个课程中,我们都包含一个不同的学习战略,指导人们成为更有效的语言学习者。
207In this particular lesson, the strategy is focus attention.在这一特殊教训中,该战略是重点关注的重点。
208By making a list, Jean is helping herself remember the places she wants to go.通过列表,让帮助自己 记住她想去的地方。
209And she can prioritize her time, too.她也可以安排好时间
210By seeing that she has five places to visit in one day, she can decide how much time to spend at each one.通过看到她一天内有五个地方可以访问,她可以决定每个地方花费多少时间.
211Prioritize means to decide which things are more important than others.优先决定是指决定哪些事物比其他事物更重要.
212But, Jill, our listeners might want to know why Anna said Jean looks familiar to her.但是吉尔 我们的听众可能想知道 安娜为什么说让看起来很眼熟
213Oh, that's easy.哦,这很简单。

11The coastal Nigerian community of Ayotoro was founded in 1947.阿约托罗沿海尼日利亚社区成立于1947年.
12Often called a happy city, it was meant to be a Christian utopia or perfect place.常被称为幸福之城,意为基督教乌托邦或完美之地.
13But now its remaining people can do little against the rising sea.但是现在它剩下的人 对不断上升的海洋却无能为力
14Sunken buildings are an increasingly common image along West Africa's at-risk coast on the Atlantic Ocean.沉没的建筑物是沿西非大西洋濒危海岸越来越常见的形象.
15Pieces of wood stick out from the waves.木块从波浪而出.
16Broken structures line the shore.断裂的结构 线岸。
17Waves break against old electrical poles.波折对旧电极.
18For years, low-lying nations have warned the world about the threat of rising seas.多年来,地势低洼的国家一直警告世界,海洋上升的威胁.
19And Nigeria, Africa's most populous country, struggles to find an answer.而尼日利亚,非洲人口最多的国家, 努力寻找答案。
20Thompson Akinboye is a church leader in Ayotoro.汤普森·阿金博耶(Thompson Akinboye)是阿约托罗的一位教会领袖.
21He said prayers against the rising sea are on the lips of everybody at Sunday services.他说,在周日礼拜的每个人的嘴上,都有针对上升的海洋的祈祷。
22But they know the solution will require far more.但他们知道,解决办法需要的要多得多。
23Even the church has been moved away from the sea two times.连教堂也两次迁离海面.
24The present location is now also threatened, with the sea just 30 meters away, Akinboye said.阿金博伊说,目前的位置现在也受到威胁,只有30米以外的海域。
25Thousands of people have left.成千上万的人离开了。
26Among those who remain, Stephen Toonleys can only look at what is left of his clothing shop from a distance.在留下来的人中,Stephen Toonleys只能从远处看他服装店剩下的东西.
27Toonleys said he lost $5,500 to the sea.通利说,他损失了5500美元到海边.
28Now, with water everywhere, he repairs canoes.现在,到处都是水,他修理了独木舟。
29I will stay in Ayotoro because this is my father's land, he said.我将留在阿约托罗 因为这是我父亲的土地,他说。
30In the past 30 years, Ayotoro has lost more than 10 square kilometers to the sea.在过去的30年中,阿约托罗失去了超过10平方公里的海域.
31Researchers studying satellite imagery of Nigeria's coast say several things are responsible for Ayotoro's disappearance.研究尼日利亚海岸卫星图像的研究人员说,阿约托罗失踪的原因有几件事.
32Olusegun Dada is a marine geologist at the Federal University of Technology in Akure.奥卢塞贡·达达(Olusegun Dada)是阿库雷联邦理工大学的海洋地质学家.
33He said one of the reasons for the losses is underwater oil operations.他说损失的原因之一是水下石油作业。
34As oil is removed, the ground can sink, he said.他说,随着石油被清除,地面会下沉。
35But he and his colleagues note other reasons, including the deforestation of mangroves that help protect the earth.但他和他的同事注意到其他原因,包括砍伐有助于保护地球的红树林.
36Erosion from ocean waves is another problem.海浪侵蚀是另一个问题。
37When we started coming to this community, then we used to have fresh water, Dada said.当我们开始来到这个社区, 然后我们曾经有淡水, Dada说。
38Today, the freshwater ecosystem is becoming a salty marine one.今天,淡水生态系统正成为一个咸咸的海洋生态系统。
39The change is costly in Nigeria.在尼日利亚,这一变化代价高昂。
40The World Bank, in a 2020 report, estimated the cost of coastal degradation in three nearby Nigerian states, Lagos, Delta and Cross River,世界银行在2020年的一份报告中估计了附近三个尼日利亚州,即拉各斯、三角洲和克罗斯河的沿海退化成本。
41at $9.7 billion, or more than 2% of the country's gross domestic product.97亿美元,占全国国内生产总值的2%以上。
42It looked at erosion, flooding, mangrove loss and pollution, and noted the high rate of urbanization in the country.它研究了侵蚀、洪水、红树林损失和污染,并注意到该国城市化率很高。
43Nigeria only pays attention to coastal communities from time to time when the yearly flooding happens, but the people of Ayotoro cannot turn away.尼日利亚只在每年发生洪水时不时地关注沿海社区,但阿约托罗人民不能拒绝。
44Ayotoro was like a paradise, a city where everyone lived joyfully, happily, said Arawolo Mofelua, a retired civil servant.阿约托罗就像一个天堂,一个人人都快乐地生活的城市,快乐地说,退休的公务员阿拉沃洛·莫费卢亚.
45She estimated that two-thirds of the area had been slowly swept under the waves.她估计,该地区三分之二的地区在大浪下被缓慢扫荡.
46This is the third house we are living in, and there are some living in the fourth house now, and we do not have enough space for ourselves again.这是我们住的第三所房子,现在还有一些住在第四所房子里,我们没有足够自己的空间。
47Four or five people living in a small room, you can just imagine how painful it is, Mofelua said.住在一间小房间里的四五个人,你可以想象它有多痛苦,莫费卢亚说.
48If you look where the sea is now, that is the end of the former Ayotoro.若观海现处即前阿 Ay多罗三藐三菩提.
49For Oluwambe Ojugbohunmi, the community's traditional leader and head of the local church, the pain is not only in the loss of land.对于奥卢瓦姆贝·奥朱格博洪米(Oluwambe Ojugbohunmi)来说,社区的传统领袖和当地教会的负责人,痛苦不仅在于失去土地.
50He says the community is losing in our sociocultural and religious identity.他说社区正在失去我们的社会文化和宗教特性。
51Early this year, the Ondo state government said it would find lasting solutions to the threat to Ayotoro, a promise people say has been made before.今年初,翁多州政府说,它将找到解决对阿约托罗的威胁的持久办法,人们曾说,这是一个承诺。
52It might be too late for efforts to be effective, Dada, the marine geologist, said.海洋地质学家Dada说,努力有效可能为时已晚。
53For years he has hoped for an environmental study to be carried out to better understand what is causing the community's disappearance, but nothing has been done.多年来,他一直希望开展一项环境研究,以更好地了解造成社区消失的原因,但没有采取任何行动。
54The Niger Delta Development Commission, a government body meant in part to deal with environmental and other issues caused by oil exploration,尼日尔三角洲发展委员会是一个政府机构,其部分目的是处理石油勘探造成的环境和其他问题,
55did not answer questions from the Associated Press about efforts to protect the community's coastline.没有回答美联社提出的保护社区海岸线努力的问题。
56The Commission's website lists a coastline protection project in Ayotoro.委员会网站列出了阿约托罗的一个海岸线保护项目.
57The project was awarded some 20 years ago, and the website describes it as ongoing.该项目是大约20年前授予的,网站将其描述为正在进行中.
58But local people say the project never started.但当地人说这个项目从未开始.
59I'm Katie Weaver.我是凯蒂·韦弗
60Researchers are seeking to learn why bird flu kills some animals quickly, but causes only moderate illness in others.研究人员正在寻求了解为什么鸟流感会很快杀死一些动物,但在其他动物中只会引起中度疾病.
61In recent years, bird flu is believed to have killed millions of wild and domestic birds worldwide.近年来,据信全世界有数百万野生和家禽因禽流感而死亡。
62Other animals such as seals, cats, dogs, and cows have also been infected.其他动物如海豹,猫,狗,牛等也被感染.
63The virus is officially known as H5N1.该病毒正式命名为H5N1.
64It has largely stayed out of the human population.它基本上与人口无关。
65However, the World Health Organization, WHO, reported that as of April 1, 2024, H5N1 had caused nearly 900 human infections and 463 deaths since 2003.然而,世界卫生组织,世卫组织报告说,截至2024年4月1日,H5N1自2003年以来已造成近900人感染,463人死亡.
66Most of the human cases involved direct contact between people and infected birds.大多数人类病例都涉及人与被感染的鸟类之间的直接接触.
67In cases of the virus spreading between humans, individuals involved were found to have had close and extended contact within households.在病毒在人与人之间传播的情况下,有关个人被发现在家庭内有密切和广泛的接触。
68The currently spreading version of bird flu was first identified in 1959, but the illness did not start to cause concern among health officials until a bird flu outbreak hit Hong Kong in 1997.目前传播的禽流感版本最早于1959年被确定,但该疾病在1997年禽流感疫情袭击香港之前并未开始引起卫生官员的关注.
69That outbreak caused severe sickness and deaths in some humans.这场爆发造成了一些人类的严重疾病和死亡。
70Scientists are still studying possible reasons the H5N1 virus has not heavily affected human populations, but some researchers fear the situation may change.科学家仍在研究H5N1病毒没有严重影响人类的可能原因,但一些研究人员担心情况可能发生变化.
71Like other viruses, H5N1 has mutated over time.与其他病毒一样,H5N1也随时间变异.
72During the last few years, one particular bird flu version has been spreading quickly and widely.在过去几年中,一种特定的禽流感版本迅速而广泛地传播.
73Dr. Tom Frieden is a former director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC.汤姆·弗里登博士(英語:Dr. Tom Frieden)是美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)的前主任.
74He told the Associated Press about the ongoing outbreaks,他告诉美联社 有关持续爆发,
75There's a lot we don't understand.有很多我们不明白。
76Frieden also heads the non-profit group Resolve to Save Lives.弗里登还领导非营利团体"决心拯救生命".
77He added,他补充说,
78Some researchers have theorized flu viruses that started in birds caused severe human pandemics.一些研究者有起源于鸟类的理论性流感病毒引起严重的人类流行病.
79For example, pandemics that took place in 1918 and 1957 quickly spread among animals and people.例如,1918年和1957年发生的流行病迅速在动物和人民中蔓延。
80Many experts think it would be unlikely the currently spreading virus will become a deadly worldwide pandemic.许多专家认为,目前传播的病毒不可能成为全世界致命的流行病。
81But to prepare for that possibility, U.S. health officials are developing vaccines that might be needed.但为了准备这种可能性,美国卫生官员正在研制可能需要的疫苗.
82At this time, they are not planning other measures.目前,它们没有计划其他措施。
83This is because the virus is not causing severe disease in humans, and there is no strong evidence it is spreading from person to person.这是因为病毒不会对人类造成严重的疾病,也没有有力的证据证明病毒正在从人到人之间传播.
84The U.S. Department of Agriculture has said U.S. animal outbreaks have been reported at numerous dairy cow farms and among more than 1,000 groups of poultry.美国农业部表示,美国动物疫情在众多奶牛养殖场和1000多组家禽中都有报道.
85At least four human infections have been reported among hundreds of thousands of people working at U.S. poultry and dairy farms.据报道,在美国家禽和乳品养殖场工作的数十万人中至少有4人感染.
86Worldwide, doctors have so far identified 15 human infections caused by the current version.在世界范围内,迄今为止医生已经确定了15个由目前版本引起的人类感染.
87That count includes one death, a 38-year-old woman in southern China in 2022.包括2022年中国南部一名38岁妇女死亡。
88But officials said most of the identified people had either no signs of disease or only mild ones.但官员们说,大多数被识别的人要么没有疾病迹象,要么只有温和的迹象.
89Some experts have wondered whether humans have built up some level of immunity after being infected by other virus forms or because of vaccination.一些专家想知道,人类是否在受到其他病毒形式感染或接种疫苗后建立了某种程度的免疫力.
90But a study involving human blood samples suggested there was little to no existing immunity to this version of the bird flu virus.但一项涉及人类血液样本的研究表明,对于这种版本的禽流感病毒,几乎没有或根本没有现有的免疫力.
91I'm Brian Lin.我是布莱恩林。
92Sky watchers have had a busy year so far in 2024.天空观察者在2024年至今已经度过了繁忙的一年.
93There has been much to see among the stars and planets.在恒星和行星中有很多东西可以看见.
94In April, many people in the United States were able to watch a total eclipse of the sun.4月,美国许多人得以观看日全食.
95Coming up in the next few months, there will be a nova of two stars.接下来的几个月里,将会有两颗恒星组成的新星.
96This week, we will learn about some of the special words you can use to talk about objects and events in the sky.本周,我们将学习一些你可以用来谈论天空中的物体和事件的特殊词汇.
97A nova is a star explosion.新星是一颗恒星爆炸
98A pair of stars called T. corona borealis, called the blaze star, will become very bright so people almost everywhere on Earth, even in cities, can see it.一对叫做T. corona birenalis的恒星,叫做火焰之星, 将会变得非常明亮, 这样地球上几乎任何地方的人,即使在城市里,都能看见它。
99Binoculars or a telescope to see it.望远镜或望远镜可以看见它
100Visible is an adjective form related to the word view.可见是和单词视图相关的形容词形式.
101The two stars that form the blaze star produce an outburst or increased period of energy around every 80 years.形成火焰恒星的两颗恒星每80年产生一次爆发或增加的能量期.
102Rebecca Hounsell is an assistant research scientist specializing in nova events at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.Rebecca Hounsell是美国国家航空航天局位于马里兰州格林贝尔特的戈达德航天飞行中心(英语:Goddard Space Flight Center)的一名助理研究科学家,专门研究诺瓦事件.
103We don't often see a repeated outburst in a human lifetime and rarely one so relatively close to our own system, Hounsell said.Hounsell说,我们并不经常看到人类一生中反复爆发,很少看到如此接近我们自己的系统。
104Material from one star moves toward another and causes the explosion or outburst of energy.一颗恒星的物质向另一颗恒星移动,引起爆炸或能量爆发.
105This makes the bright light we can see from Earth.这使得我们从地球上可以看到明亮的光芒.
106Scientists say they are not sure exactly when we will be able to see the nova, but you will surely hear about it on the news.科学家们说,他们不确定我们何时能看到新星,但你们肯定会在新闻上听到。
107Your next question might be, how can I find it in the sky?下一个问题可能是,我怎么能在天空中找到它?
108This is when you will need to know the word constellation and how to find one in the sky.这时你需要知道 星座这个词 以及如何在天空中找到一个。
109A constellation is a group of stars.一个星座是一组恒星.
110Some constellations look like particular shapes to people on Earth.一些星座看起来像地球上人的特殊形状.
111The nova coming this year is in the constellation Corona Borealis or Northern Crown.今年的诺瓦星座是科罗纳波雷利斯星座或北王室星座。
112There are many uses for the preposition between for talking about the upcoming nova and its constellation.在谈论即将到来的诺瓦星座和它的星座之间,预先位置有许多用途.
113If you make an imaginary line between the stars in it, you get a curved line that looks like a headpiece worn by kings and queens.如果你在其中的恒星之间做一条假想的线条,你得到一条弯曲的线条,看起来像是国王和皇后们戴的头巾.
114To find it, you can look for the two brightest stars in the northern hemisphere, Arcturus and Vega.为了找到它,你可以寻找北半球最亮的两颗恒星,阿克图鲁斯和维加.
115In the space between them, you will find two constellations, Hercules and Bootes.在它们之间的空间里 你会发现两个星座 海格力斯和布特斯
116Northern Crown is between them.北冠在他们之间
117People enjoyed another event in the sky in April, a total eclipse of the sun.人们在4月在天空中享受了另一场活动,即日全食.
118The moon moved between Earth and the sun, causing a shadow or an area of darkness on Earth.月球在地球和太阳之间移动,造成地球上的阴影或一片黑暗.
119The path of the moon's shadow on Earth is called the path of totality.月球在地球上的影子的路径被称为整体的路径.
120We can change an adjective, such as total, to a noun with the noun suffix ity.我们可以将一个形容词,如总词,改为名词后缀的词.
121The resulting noun means the state or condition of what the adjective describes.由此产生的名词是指形容词所描述的状态或条件.
122For example, it is used with active to form activity.例如,它与活动一起用于形成活动.
123The next total eclipse on Earth will be August 12, 2026, and it will be visible in Spain.地球上下一次总日食是2026年8月12日,将在西班牙可见.
124And that's Everyday Grammar.这就是每天的语法。

60Scientists studying the spread of bird flu in the United States say they worry about a lack of data in tracking the virus called Type A H5N1.研究美国禽流感传播的科学家表示,他们担心在追踪被称为A型H5N1的病毒时缺乏数据.
61In recent months, the disease has spread to 129 groups of cows across 12 states.近几个月来,该疾病已蔓延到12个州的129个奶牛群.
62Experts have identified the disease in other mammals as well, from alpacas to house cats.专家还查明了其他哺乳动物的疾病,从羊驼到养猫。
63The scientists are concerned about rising cases among cows.科学家们对牛群中病例的增加感到关切。
64They say the increase probably means the virus has been changing.他们说,增加可能意味着病毒一直在改变。
65They say such changes could make it easier for the virus to spread from animals to humans.他们说这种变化可以让病毒更容易从动物传播到人类.
66Three people in the U.S. have tested positive for H5N1 bird flu since late March after being in close contact with cows.美国有3人与奶牛密切接触后,自3月下旬开始检测H5N1禽流感呈阳性.
67Scott Hensley is a professor of microbiology at the University of Pennsylvania.斯科特·亨斯利是宾夕法尼亚大学微生物学教授.
68He said the threat of a pandemic is currently low, but could rise quickly.他说,大流行病的威胁目前很低,但可能迅速上升。
69Health officials say the earlier they know about cases of human infection, the sooner they can take steps to reduce its spread.卫生官员说,他们了解人类感染病例的时间越早,他们就越能采取措施减少感染的传播。
70The U.S. government tests cows for the virus.美国政府检测奶牛感染病毒.
71However, those tests are currently limited to cows crossing state borders.然而,这些测试目前仅限于跨越国界的奶牛。
72Government health officials and pandemic flu experts told Reuters news agency there is very little testing of people who come into contact with sick cattle.政府卫生官员和大流行性流感专家告诉路透社,对接触病牛的人的检测很少.
73Human and animal health agencies sometimes differ in the ways they deal with the flu.人类和动物保健机构处理流感的方式有时不同。
74Experts say these differences could make it harder to respond quickly to an outbreak.专家表示,这些差异可能使对疫情作出迅速反应变得更加困难.
75Still, a U.S. Department of Agriculture spokesperson said the agency is working around the clock with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, CDC, in a whole-of-government response.尽管如此,一位美国农业部发言人说,该机构正与美国疾病控制中心(CCDC)在全政府反应中昼夜合作.
76The spokesperson added that research shows America's food supply remains safe.发言人补充说,研究表明美国的粮食供应仍然安全.
77Sick cows generally recover after a few weeks, and the risk to human health remains low.病牛一般在几周后恢复,对人体健康的风险仍然很低.
78Some pandemics, including COVID-19, arrive with little warning.一些流行病,包括COVID-19,到达时几乎未发出警告。
79In the last flu pandemic caused by H1N1 in 2009, the virus had first spread among animals for several years, Hensley said.在2009年H1N1引发的最近一次流感大流行中,Hensley说,该病毒在动物中首次传播了几年.
80But he added that more tracking of the virus would have helped health officials prepare.但他补充说,更多追踪病毒会帮助卫生官员做好准备.
81The CDC estimates that between about 150,000 and half a million people died worldwide during the 2009 pandemic.疾控中心估计,2009年全球范围内约有15万至50万人死于大流行病。
82The World Health Organization, or WHO, says there is no evidence of H5N1 spreading from human to human.世界卫生组织(WHO)或世界卫生组织(WHO)表示,没有证据表明H5N1从人类扩散到人类.
83For that reason, the WHO says the risk to humans is currently low.因此,世卫组织称目前对人类的风险较低.
84Wenqing Zhang is the head of the WHO's Global Influenza Preparedness Agency.张文庆任世卫组织全球流感防范机构负责人.
85She said health organizations have ways to launch large production of tests, treatments, and vaccines if needed.她说,如果需要,保健组织有办法大规模生产测试、治疗和疫苗。
86The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, or CEPI, is a nonprofit based in Oslo, Norway.防疫创新联盟(CEPI)是一个非营利组织,总部设在挪威奥斯陆.
87The organization works to develop vaccines and other ways to fight against pandemics.本组织致力于研制疫苗和其他防治流行病的方法。
88CEPI aims to create a collection of vaccines for viruses that could cause pandemics.CEPI旨在为可能造成大流行病的病毒建立疫苗库。

104Experienced gardeners have likely learned to look out for poison ivy, a common plant found across North America, Europe, and East Asia.经验丰富的园丁可能已经学会了注意有毒的常春藤,这是整个北美,欧洲和东亚发现的常见植物.
105While this green leafy plant is not life-threatening, it can cause severe skin reactions in many people.虽然这种绿叶植物并不危及生命,但它会在许多人中引起严重的皮肤反应.
106Associated Press gardening writer Jessica Damiano recently wrote that while she personally has not had any bad experiences with poison ivy, many gardeners she knows have.美联社园艺作家杰西卡·达米亚诺(Jessica Damiano)最近写道,虽然她个人对有毒常春藤没有过任何糟糕的经历,但她认识的许多园艺家都有过.
107So in an effort to help gardeners, or people who simply enjoy spending time outdoors, deal with this plant, Damiano has come up with some suggestions for how to find and safely get rid of it.所以为了帮助园丁,或者那些只喜欢在户外度过时间的人, 处理这个植物,达米亚诺想出了一些关于如何找到和安全地摆脱它的建议。
108The official name for poison ivy is Toxicodendron radicans.毒常春藤的正式名称是毒多德龙radi.
109The plant contains oily chemical compounds called urotials in its leaves, stems, and roots.该植物的叶子,茎,根中含有油性化学化合物,称为urotials.
110The American Skin Association estimates about 85 percent of the U.S. population is allergic to urotials.美国皮肤协会估计,约85%的美国人口对尿道过敏.
111Of those, between 10 to 15 percent are considered highly allergic.其中10%至15%被认为高度过敏。
112The group says this makes the plant concerning and possibly dangerous for about 50 million Americans affected each year.剧组说这让工厂 每年对大约5 000万美国人造成危害
113Damiano writes that this means poison ivy should be removed from gardens in most cases.Damiano写道,这意味着在多数情况下,应该从花园中清除有毒的常春藤。
114But that can be tricky.但是这可能很棘手。
115Touching the plant to remove it can harm those involved.触摸植物去除它会伤害那些涉及的人.
116Identifying poison ivy plants can be difficult.识别有毒常春藤植物可能很困难.
117This is partly because the plant takes on different appearances at different times of the year.其部分原因是植物在一年的不同时期会出现不同的外观.
118Most often, however, its leaves are made up of three leaflets each.然而,其叶片通常由三张传单组成。
119The middle stem is longer than the stems of the side leaflets.中间的茎比侧面传单的茎长.
120Young leaves usually appear shiny, while older leaves do not.幼叶通常看起来光亮,而老叶则不会.
121Larger, older vines, especially those climbing up trees, are hairy.更大,更年长的藤本植物,尤其是爬树的藤本,多毛.
122Leaf color can be green, red, pink-tinged, yellow, or orange.叶色可以是绿色,红色,粉红色丁丁,黄色,或橙色.
123Some leaf ends are smooth, while others have toothed edges.有些叶片末端光滑,而另一些则有齿缘.
124Damiano admitted that even she has trouble spotting poison ivy.达米亚诺也承认,即使是她也很难发现有毒常春藤.
125She has misidentified the plant in the past.她过去对植物的识别有误
126She said some people might want to seek advice from a poison ivy expert or do research online.她说有些人可能想向有毒的常春藤专家寻求建议,或者在网上做研究.
127Local agriculture organizations can also be helpful in confirming a poison ivy identification.当地农业组织也可以帮助确认一种毒害的常春藤鉴定.
128When dealing with poison ivy, people should wear protective clothing for their hands, arms, legs, and eyes.处理毒常春藤时,人们应当穿着防护服,保护手,手臂,腿,眼睛.
129Avoid touching anything in the process, especially the face.避免在过程中触摸任何东西,尤其是脸部.
130Remember, the plant can pass on its poison through clothing or tools.记住,植物可以通过衣物或工具传递其毒药.
131The best way to completely remove poison ivy is to pull it up by its roots.完全去除毒常春藤的最好方法是用它的根来拉上去.
132For gardeners living in a four-season area, the job will be easiest in early spring, when the ground is softer.对于生活在四季片区的园丁来说,工作在早春,当地面变软时会比较容易.
133The main roots of the plant can grow down about 30 centimeters, and runner roots can spread outward in lengths up to 6 meters.植物的主根可向下生长约30厘米,茎茎可向外延伸,长度可达6米.
134Both of these root systems must be removed to avoid future growth.必须消除这两个根系,以避免未来的增长。
135All parts of the poison ivy plant must be effectively removed.毒常春藤植物的所有部分必须有效清除.
136This material should be placed in a tightly sealed, heavy black plastic bag and set out for waste removal.这些材料应置于一个密封的、重的黑色塑料袋中,并准备去除废物。
137Poison ivy should never be burned.有毒的常春藤不应该被烧掉
138That is because the smoke is known to contain harmful substances that could be deadly if breathed in.这是因为人们知道烟中含有有害物质,如果吸入会致命。
139After completing removal operations, do not touch anything.完成清除操作后,不要碰任何东西.
140The plant's poisons can remain.植物的毒药可以留下.
141First, wash your hands with one of several specialty products made to completely remove all poisons from the plant.首先,用几种特产之一洗手,以完全去除植物上所有的毒药.
142Avoid using your normal soap, because these can spread the plant's oils to other parts of the body.避免使用你的普通肥皂,因为这些可以将植物的油分到身体的其他部位.
143After removing all clothes, take a shower with the same specialty cleanser.脱下所有衣服后,用同样的特长清洗器淋浴.
144I'm Brian Lin.我是布莱恩林。
145Brian Lin joins me now to talk more about his health and lifestyle report.布莱恩 林s现在跟我一起多谈他的健康和生活方式报告.
146Hi Brian, thanks for being here.布莱恩,谢谢你能来

149Poison ivy.有毒常春藤(原变种).
150The report points out that about 85% of Americans are allergic to the chemicals found in poison ivy.报告指出,约85%的美国人对在毒常春藤中发现的化学品过敏.
151Are you one of them?你是其中之一吗?
152Actually, I have to say yes, and I have been affected quite a bit by poison ivy in my own life.事实上,我不得不说,是的, 我已经受到了很多 有毒的常春藤影响 在我自己的生活。
153As a child, we lived near wooded areas with large amounts of this plant.小时候,我们住在林区附近,这里有大量这种植物。
154And before I knew any better, I would have terrible allergic reactions after just playing in areas where poison ivy was among other vegetation.在我知道之前, 我会有可怕的过敏反应, 之后只是玩 在那些有毒的常春藤是其他植被。
155Then as an adult, I was exposed to the plant while doing gardening work.后来成年后,在做园艺工作时被曝出植物.
156In these situations, my big mistake was working without gloves and I would be pulling out roots from multiple plants in the dirt, some of which belong to poison ivy.在这种情况下,我的大错误是工作 没有手套, 我会拔出根 从多株植物在泥土, 其中一些属于毒常春藤。
157How about you?你怎么样?
158Have you had personal experiences with this plant?你对这工厂有过亲身经历吗?
159I have dealt with poison ivy, but I've never had a really strong reaction.我处理过有毒的常春藤 但我从未有过强烈的反应
160What would you say is the main takeaway of your report this week?这星期你的报告的主要内容是什么?
161I do think perhaps the best advice given in this report is when trying to get rid of poison ivy, do not touch other parts of the body until you are sure there is no trace of these chemicals on your hands.我认为,本报告给出的最好建议或许是,在试图消除有毒的常春藤时,不要接触身体的其他部位,直到你确定手中没有这些化学品的痕迹。
162Because this was once a problem for me as well, I must have touched my face, which then turned into a very swollen, itchy patch around my eye.因为这曾经也是我的一个问题, 我一定摸过我的脸, 然后变成一个非常肿大,痒痒的伤口 绕着我的眼睛。
163Not fun, but surely it taught me a lesson.一点也不好玩,但它确实给了我一个教训。
164All right.好吧,我们走。
165Thanks so much for being here, Brian, and thank you for that report.非常感谢你的到来,布莱恩,谢谢你的报告。
