Last year, global temperatures were cooled slightly by a natural weather pattern in the Pacific called La Niña. That meant it wasn't quite as hot as 2024, but the long-term trend is clear. The last 11 years were the hottest of all those recorded since the mid-19th century. And scientists fear that the planet could soon breach the long-term target of limiting the rise in global temperatures to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels, possibly by the end of the decade.

去年，全球气温受到太平洋地区一个被称为 “拉尼娜” 的自然气候模式的影响而略有下降。这意味着虽然去年全球气温并没有 2024 年热，但长期趋势显而易见。过去的 11 年是自 19 世纪中叶有记录以来最热的年份。科学家们担忧地球的气温可能很快就会突破限制全球气温较工业化前水平上升 1.5 度的长期目标，而这很可能会在本年代末发生。

Scientists say there's no doubt that this warming is caused by humanity's vast carbon emissions, mainly from burning fossil fuels.

科学家们表示，毫无疑问，气候变暖的趋势是由人类活动所导致的大量碳排放造成的，这类排放主要源于化石燃料的燃烧。

The giant iceberg split off the Antarctic ice shelf in 2017. Named by scientists as A68a, it has since drifted towards South Georgia, a remote British island in the south Atlantic.

这座巨大的冰山于2017年从南极冰架崩离。这座被科学家命名为A68a的冰山随后向南大西洋上的偏远英属岛屿南乔治亚岛漂去。

Satellite images show it is still largely intact, some 150 kilometers long and 48 kilometers wide.

卫星图像显示它基本完好无损，长约150公里，宽约48公里。

It's on course to hit South Georgia in around 30 days. Its shallow depth means it could drift very close to the island.

它将在约30天后抵达南乔治亚岛。吃水浅意味着它可能会非常靠近岛屿漂流。

This video from the organization Penguins International shows the island's huge penguin colonies.

这段来自国际企鹅组织的视频展示了岛上庞大的企鹅群落。

Investing in art is something beyond what many people can afford, but that may no longer be the case thanks to New York startup called Masterworks.

投资艺术是许多人负担不起的事情，但纽约初创公司Masterworks或许能改变这一现状。

Very simply investors can come to our website. They can view different works of art that we have available for investment.

New York city's eight million residents are known for staying busy, but with the abundance of people comes plenty of waste and the need to recycle.

纽约市八百万居民以忙碌著称，但人口众多也带来了大量垃圾和回收需求。

Compliance is a big challenge, and in a city as diverse as New York, it's always been a challenge.

Whether in a fire emergency or a controlled burn like this one, firefighters put themselves in harm's way.

无论是大火蔓延，还是火情像这样得到控制，消防队员总是处于危险之中。

Until recently there was no real process in place to pull them out of a fire should the flames jeopardize their health.

There were oyster reefs in Belfast Lough until the early 20th century, when overfishing and pollution all but destroyed them.

贝尔法斯特湾曾经有牡蛎礁，直到 20 世纪早期，人类的过度捕捞和污染几乎完全毁灭了它们。

Over the last four years, oyster nurseries have been set up on the coasts of counties Antrim and Down. Now conservationists have placed 2,000 adult European oysters and more than 30,000 juveniles on the seabed of the lough. Scientists hope the shellfish will form a natural reef and improve the water quality because they remove pollutants.

在过去四年间，一些牡蛎繁殖场被设立在了安特里姆郡和唐郡的海岸线上。目前，自然保护工作者已经在海湾中投放了 2000 只成年欧洲牡蛎和超过 3 万只幼年牡蛎。科学家希望这种贝类动物能够形成天然礁石并改善水质，因为它们能去除水中的污染物。

"Say cheese!" That's what the person behind the camera might shout when they want you to smile for a photo. 2025 marked the 50th anniversary of digital photography. Steve Sasson, inventor of the first digital camera in 1975, told the BBC that it looked like a 'toaster with a lens' – not like the stylish cameras we see today! By 2005, more people were buying digital cameras than film cameras, which meant that a process which used to be slow and laborious, was now quick and easy.

“说奶酪！” 当相机后面的人希望你微笑拍照时，他们可能会这么喊。 2025 年是数码摄影诞生 50 周年。 1975 年第一台数码相机的发明者 Steve Sasson 告诉 BBC，它看起来像一个“带镜头的烤面包机”，与我们今天看到的时尚相机不同！ 到 2005 年，购买数码相机的人比购买胶片相机的人多，这意味着过去缓慢而费力的过程现在变得快速而简单。

The 2000s brought a snap-happy era, with people now able to take hundreds, even thousands of photos a year. But what they hadn't quite worked out yet was how to store them. Back then, people used a mishmash of hard drives, USB sticks and CDs – physical storage that was at risk of loss or theft. Later came online photo sh...

位于茶胶省的Keiy Khmer Association拥有八名织工团队，是柬埔寨少数致力于保护传统丝绸伊卡特手工艺的非营利组织之一。

We use imported dyes and silk. When we create a silk ikat from these materials, it is no longer Cambodian.

我们使用进口染料和丝绸，当我们用这些材料制作丝绸伊卡特时，它就不再是柬埔寨风格的了。

So I started this association, hoping to create something truly Cambodian by using Cambodian natural dyes from the nests of Khmer lac insects, the bark of prohut tree, malabar tree, and indigo, also known as plae.

于是我创办了这个协会，希望利用高棉紫胶虫的巢穴、普罗树皮、马拉巴树皮，以及靛蓝等柬埔寨天然染料，创造出真正具有柬埔寨特色的东西

No one knows where the historical napkin ended up. Director of Marketing at Biltmore Hotel, Ana Segura, believes that was lost nearly hundred years ago.

没人知道那张餐巾纸最后去哪里了。碧丽宫酒店营销总监安娜·塞古拉认为那张餐巾纸早在近百年前就已遗失。

仿佛置身于城市中的一片森林，让我能短暂地思考其他事情，哪怕只有五分钟，这种感觉有时真的很美妙。

Researchers with NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, catch a leatherback sea turtle off the coast of California.

美国国家海洋和大气管理局(NOAA)的研究人员在加利福尼亚海岸捕获了一只棱皮龟。

The tens of millions of years old species is in serious decline, says ecologist Scott Benson.

本森参与合著的一项新研究指出，过去30年间，棱皮龟觅食区域内的种群数量下降了约80%。

He says this is amazing given the species adaptability. The leatherback turtle is an ancient mariner.<

Among the at-risk species on this year's list is the Saint Lucia fer de lance, a venomous viper with an image problem. While it's not aggressive, it's highly feared, so is often killed on sight. Conservationists are working to improve perceptions of the creature. Then there's the blackchin guitarfish, which appears to be half ray, half shark.

在今年这份名单上的濒危物种包括圣卢西亚矛头蝮，这是一种有形象问题的剧毒蛇类。虽然它攻击性并不强，但人们非常害怕这种蛇，通常一见到就会立即杀死它。自然保护人员正在努力改善人们对这种生物的看法。名单上还包括黑颏犁头鳐，一种看起来一半像鳐鱼、一半像鲨鱼的鱼类。

It's not just animals. Wild tulips make the list threatened with extinction in Central Asia due to overgrazing and trampling by livestock.

这份名单上并不只有动物。野生郁金香也在这份名单上，这些郁金香在中亚地区因过度放牧和家畜的踩踏已经濒临灭绝。

At the heart of the deep-sea mining controversy is a difficult problem. The world needs critical minerals to tackle climate change but extracting them from the sea floor could cause serious environmental harm. This research by the Natural History Museum and National Oceanography Centre analysed the impact of trial mining in the Pacific Ocean. It found that where the mining vehicle had harvested minerals, the number of animals living in the area was reduced by 37%.

在对深海采矿的争议的核心有一个难以回答的问题。世界需要关键的矿物来应对气候变化，但从海底提取这些矿物会造成严重的环境损害。这项由伦敦自然史博物馆和英国国家海洋学中心共同参与的研究分析了在太平洋中试验性采矿的影响。研究发现，在采矿车辆采集了矿物的区域，在此生活的动物的数量减少了 37%。

The deep ocean is barely explored, and many scientists worry it harbours vital life that could be lost if mining goes ahead. The mining firm The Metals Company commissioned the research. A spokesperson said they were encouraged by findings that animals outside of the directly mined areas were not affected.

海洋深处几乎没有被人类探索过，许多科学家担心深海中藏有重要的生物，而如果开始采矿，这些生物就会消失。采矿公司加拿大金属公司（The Met

Stand outside Chancery Lane Tube station in London and you'll probably notice the regular commuters, trendy cafes and the odd tourist. Look up and you'll see the Staple Inn, built in 1585, and one of the last remaining Tudor timber-framed facades in London. But deep below your feet, there's more history lurking.

站在伦敦 Chancery Lane 地铁站外，您可能会注意到定期通勤的人、时尚的咖啡馆和奇怪的游客。 抬头一看，您会看到建于 1585 年的 Staple Inn，也是伦敦仅存的都铎式木结构外墙之一。 但在你的脚下深处，还潜藏着更多的历史。

Nestled between Furnival Street and Fulwood Place in this area of London are a network of tunnels even deeper than The London Underground. Built between 1940 and 1942, the tunnels were constructed as part of the war effort as an air-raid shelter, designed to protect civilians and soldiers from bombs dropped in the war. Later in World War Two, the tunnels were occupied by Special Operations Executive and are e...

Saturday from the launch pad at NASA's Stennis Space Center in Mississippi, the aerospace agency tested its space launch system.

周六，在美国航空航天局(NASA)位于密西西比州的斯坦尼斯航天中心的发射台上，该航天机构测试了其太空发射系统。

Rockets fired for roughly eight minutes, generating 725 metric tons of thrust while guzzling more than 2600 cubic meters of fuel to simulate internal conditions for liftoff.

火箭发射持续约八分钟，产生725公吨推力，同时消耗超过2600立方米燃料以模拟升空时的内部环境。
