The Sun has set, and you're headed to a train station in Stockholm with your overnight bag. You board the sleeper train, change into your comfortable clothes, enjoy the scenery through the window for a while before laying your head down to rest. Snoring from the other passengers in your shared cabin delays your bedtime, but the gentle motion and white noise eventually send you to sleep. The next morning, just over 12 hours later, you wake up in Germany's second largest city, Hamburg. "It still sounds like a long time, but you go to sleep, and it's such a...

For many people, social media is a normal part of everyday life. It's used to keep in touch, entertain and follow what's happening in the world. But numbers from DataReportal indicate that the average use of social media is around two hours 21 minutes a day. That's nearly 15 hours per week or about 32 days a year! The same report also mentions that people are using social media more passively. This means they're spending a lot of time scrolling on their feed, sending memes and reacting to things with emojis instead of sending messages. Could it be that social media platforms...

I first heard about Tulsa Remote, I felt like it was kismet. I was thinking about leaving the Bay area where I was living in San Francisco.

我第一次听说塔尔萨远程搬家计划时，觉得这简直是天意。我当时正考虑离开我居住的旧金山湾区。

And so, I was searching around for, you know, different locations like researching where, you know, what's the cost of living like? What is the quality of life like in different cities?

我四处在找新城市，研究那个城市的生活成本是怎么样的？ 不同城市的生活质量有什么差异？

And I looked at all the, kind of, obvious things that I think people migrate from California to, which were Portland, Austin, Seattle.

我研究了所有那种我觉得人们从加州搬去的热门目的地，也就是波特兰，奥斯汀，西雅图。

And, you know, I just kept coming up with the fact that those cities have, kind of, been overplayed at this point.

我越来越发现，有些时候这些城市的好处其实被夸大了。

And when I was doing this research, an article for Tulsa Remote popped up in my news feed, and I tho

When it comes to magic, there's no logical solution why did that coin vanish from your hand? Then, the next things is, do it again or do something else miraculous.

魔术是无法用逻辑来解释的，比如为什么那枚硬币会从你手里凭空消失？接下来要做的就是，要么再变一次，要么表演点别的神奇的魔术。

Is magic real or is magic an illusion? I'd like to show you what comes to mind just as an example. And we're just going to use these three half-dollars right here.

魔术是真的，还是只是障眼法？我想向你们展示一下我脑海中浮现的想法，仅作为例子。我手上有三个50美分的硬币，

Focus on this first one. Three coins, two hands, no sleeves, no bracelets.

先看第一个，三个硬币，两只手，没有袖子，没有手饰。

So, you think of things happening that's impossible, but you're making the impossible possible and you're also creating astonishment.

People collect all sorts of things. I collect fridge magnets, so my fridge has slowly become a colourful map of everywhere I've been. I also have fond memories of collecting rocks and shells from the beach with my mum when we’d visit the coast in summer. It’s true that some people collect natural objects such as fossils and interesting stones, while others bring home souvenirs from their travels. There are also people collecting miniature versions of real commercial products and tiny replicas of familiar objects, for example scaled-down retro toys, classic board games and action figures.

While mice with partly-human brains might sound a Kafkaesque experiment, the scientists say that these are not mice that think like humans, rather they're animals that are altered so that some of their brain tissue is human.

虽然拥有部分人类脑组织的小鼠听起来像是一场 “卡夫卡式” 的实验，但科学家表示，这些小鼠并不会像人类一样思考。更准确地说，它们只是经过改造的动物，其部分脑组织来源于人类。

The researchers engineered mice to develop almost none of their own cerebralcortex, that's the outer layer that's sometimes referred to as grey matter. It handles higher-level thinking, memory and senses. They then used skin cells taken from humans, reprogrammed them and grew them into pieces of brain-like tissue called organoids – collections of connected living brain cells. When these organoids were implanted into the mice, they formed connections with the rest of the brain and the spinal cord, functioning like brain tissue.

我们先给他们“精神食粮”，然后再给他们提供物质食物。

We let them know that "Hey, you don't have to come to listen to the word of God in order for us to give you food.

我们让他们知道：“你们不必为了让我们给你们食物而来听上帝的教诲。

If you just want to come when we're serving, you can come when we're serving.

如果你只想在我们供应餐点的时候来，那你可以直接来。

You don't have to listen to me. I'm nothing special. I don't have nothing great to say to you except for what's in the word of God."

你不必听我的。我没什么特别的。除了上帝箴言外，我没什么溢美之语要对你说。”

The Oxford University team behind the study says any drink at or above 65C is "very hot" and poses a potential risk. Compared with people who drank "warm" beverages, those who consumed "very hot" ones had around a three times higher risk of squamouscell oesophageal cancer.

开展这项研究的牛津大学团队表示，任何温度达到或超过 65 摄氏度的饮品都 “非常烫”，可能带来潜在风险。与饮用 “温热” 饮品的人相比，饮用 “非常烫” 饮品的人患食管鳞状细胞癌的风险约为其三倍多。

There are several thousand cases each year in the UK, but experts stress the overall chance of getting this cancer of the gullet is still low. Smoking and drinking alcohol are far bigger established risk factors, although waiting a few minutes for your hot drink to cool a bit is advisable.

英国每年有数千例食管癌病例，但专家强调，就普通人群而言，患上这种食管癌的总体风险仍然较低。吸烟和饮酒是已被证实、影响更大的风险因素。不过，等上几分钟，让热饮稍微冷却后再喝仍是明智之举。

Dolphins are what we call charismatic megafauna, which means that people view them as charismatic.

海豚被我们称作是魅力大型动物，因为它们真的很有魅力。

People get excited about some animals more than they get excited about others.

人们有时候更偏爱某一类动物。

But that's okay, because then we can use that to get them to conserve in general.

但没关系，因为我们可以利用人们的偏爱去保护更多动物。

So, if they're conserving the dolphins that means we're conserving their habitat, which means we are conserving all the animals that live in that habitat as well.

如果人们保护海豚，就会保护它们的栖息地，这也意味着我们同时也在保护生活在那个栖息地的所有动物。

Ricochet was trained as a service dog but she was not placed because she likes to chase little animals, critters, squirrels.

她无法成为服务犬，但她会冲浪。她会与残疾人士一同冲浪。现在我叫她“冲浪犬”。

She was eight weeks old. I had her in a kiddie pool and there was a boogie board and I kind of tapped it to invite her on it and she climbed on and had really good balance.

Over two thirds of Brits agree that being able to laugh at yourself, or what we call 'self-deprecating humour', is a defining part of British culture, according to a recent survey by the charity Comic Relief. British comedian Sir Lenny Henry says it's not about putting yourself down, it's about bringing people together. After years of doing stand-up comedy, Lenny says that laughing at yourself is "one of the quickest ways to feel connected to a room full of strangers". But when is it good, and when is it bad, to make fun of yourself? Can it be taken...

The Israeli military said on Friday that one of the bodies released by Hamas did not belong to any of the hostages held in Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating an already shaky cease-fire.

以色列军方周五表示，哈马斯释放的一具尸体不属于任何被关押在加沙的人质，指责哈马斯违反了本已摇摇欲坠的停火协议。

The military said two of the bodies were identified as infant Kfir Bibas and his four-year-old brother Ariel,

军方表示，其中两具尸体被确认为婴儿Kfir Bibas和他四岁的哥哥Ariel，

while a third body that was supposed to be their mother Shiri was found not to match with any hostage and remain unidentified.

以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡周五表示，哈马斯未能按照协议归还人质希里·比巴斯（Shiri Bibas）的遗体，以色列将让其为此付出代价，这是对一个月前停火协议的最新潜在威胁。

Reuters correspondent Fiona Jones reports. Hamas said Bibas' remains appeared to have been mixed with others after an Israeli airstrike hit the place she was being held, later adding that it was investigating the possible error.

路透社记者菲奥娜·琼斯（Fiona Jones）报道。哈马斯表示，以色列空袭袭击了比巴斯被关押的地方后，她的遗体似乎与其他遗体混在一起，后来又补充说，正在调查可能的失误。

Netanyahu gave no details on a possible Israeli response, but the incident highlights the fragility of the month-old cease-fire deal reached with U.S. backing and help from Qatar and Egypt.

内塔尼亚胡没有透露以色列可能做出的反应，但这一事件凸显了在美国支持以及卡塔尔和埃及帮助下达成的一个月前停火协议的脆弱性。

Daydreaming has a bad reputation – we say things like "he's away with the fairies" or "she has herhead in the clouds" implying these people are inattentive, easily distracted, maybe even lazy. Is this reputation justified? Or is a trip to la-la land actually something that might benefit us?

白日梦的名声很差——我们说“他和仙女在一起了”或“她的头在云端”，暗示这些人注意力不集中、容易分心，甚至可能很懒。 这种声誉是否合理？ 或者说去la-la land旅行实际上可能对我们有益？

First, it's important to differentiate daydreaming from mind wandering. Mind wandering happens when you're busy with a task and your mind disengages from it, whereas daydreaming happens when you're doing nothing and spontaneous thoughts unrelated to your surroundings pop up.

They could be the hottest accessory of an even hotter summer. As temperature records were smashed across Europe and other parts of the world, portable electric fans could be seen in the hands of millions of people. Estimates claim that up to 8 million of these devices were sold in the UK alone. The breeze that they provide will have been welcome to many, but could there be a downside to this popular product?

它们可能是炎热夏季最热门的配饰。 随着欧洲和世界其他地区的气温记录被打破，数百万人手中可以看到便携式电风扇。 据估计，仅在英国就售出了多达 800 万台此类设备。 它们提供的微风会受到许多人的欢迎，但是这种受欢迎的产品有缺点吗？

Concerns have been raised that these fans are just another example of fast technology. That is products that are sold cheaply and are likely to be disposed of quickly. Research from Material Focus, a British pro-recycling organisation, suggests that half of all the mini fans bought will end up unused or thrown away. This is unsurprising...
