第3108期:The impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans
It's the slave man talented. That's the problem. That's the heart of the problem.
有才华的是那些受压迫的人。这就是问题所在。这就是问题的核心。
We are inclined to do the things that we do because we don't feel like there's anything else we can do.
我们倾向于做那些我们正在做的事情,是因为我们觉得别无选择。
According to the documentary, Hurricane Katrina, which struck New Orleans 15 years ago, exacerbated crime and violence in the city by destroying the local economy and displacing some 400,000 residents.
根据纪录片所述,15年前袭击新奥尔良的飓风卡特里娜摧毁了当地经济,并使约40万居民流离失所,从而加剧了该市的犯罪与暴力问题。
It changed the dynamics of the city. It changed the neighborhoods. Whole neighborhoods were washed out.

And as people came trickling in, you know, they had lost their homes, they'd lost everything.

The ten-centimetre-wide fossil was unearthed during an expedition to James Ross Island four decades ago.
这块宽约 10 厘米的化石,是在四十年前一次对詹姆斯·罗斯岛的科学考察活动中出土的。
Its discovery was recorded in a field notebook with a tiny sketch of the fossil and a note saying vertebra from a large reptile. But that was as far as the identification went, until the fossil was spotted amongst the thousands of specimens stored at the British Antarctic Survey.
一本野外考察笔记记录了这块化石的发现,里面附有一幅简略的化石手绘草图,并写着这是一种大型爬行动物的椎骨。不过,对这块化石的鉴定工作当时仅止步于此,直到最近,有人在英国南极调查局保存的数千份样本中重新注意到了它。
Its distinctive shape revealed it was part of the tail of a titanosaur, the largest dinosaurs ever toroamthe Earth. It dates to 82 million years ago, when Antarctica was very different to how it is today.

第3105期:How to cope with disappointment
We've all been there. Ending up with a worse exam result than you had hoped for or expected, a friend cancelling a plan you were really looking forward to, or your favourite sports team losing a game. Disappointment is an unhappy feeling when there is a gap between your expectations and reality, when something you desired failed to materialise. It's a normal and natural reaction, but what to do? Is it best to forget about it and move on, or allow yourself to feel the feels?
我们都经历过这样的情况。 最终考试成绩比您希望或预期的要差,朋友取消了您真正期待的计划,或者您最喜欢的运动队输掉了一场比赛。 失望是一种不快乐的感觉,当你的期望与现实之间存在差距,当你想要的东西未能实现时。 这是正常且自然的反应,但该怎么办呢? 最好是忘记它并继续前进,还是让自己感受这种感觉?
We often can't control what happens in life, but we can control how we respond when things don't go our way. Dr Radha Modgil, a UK family doctor and campaigner for wellbeing, says that we should take time to process the disappointment. "We can often feel the need to move on straight away or ignore our feelings, but if we take time...

我们面临的挑战是中立地对待电话中的每一个人,并且不要有任何先入为主的想法或……
In her film Women In Blue, data official chronicles some of the challenges female police officers face as they help train fellow officers against excessive use of force in the male-dominated Minneapolis police department.
在她的电影《蓝衣女性》中,数据官员记录了女警官面临的一些挑战,她们在男性主导的明尼阿波利斯警察局帮助培训同事避免过度使用武力。
Officer Alice White is one of the trainers. We interact with people who are rapists, murderers. It's sometimes hard to show respect to someone like that.
爱丽丝·怀特警官是训练师之一。 我们和强奸犯、杀人犯打交道。有时候很难对这样的人表示尊重。
So in my mind I had to switch this to professionalism. As long as you're being professional, you're gonna look respectful.
在我看来,我得把这转变为专业态度。只要保持专业,你就会显得得体。
The film echoes findings won as early as the 1970s by the National Police Foundation that female police officers act less aggressively and
第3081期:Why gun ownership is necessary
You never know when at any second something might happen that you might need it. That's the point.
你永远不知道什么时候会发生一些事让你用到枪。这才是重点。
It's not that you think it's going to. It's that you recognize the possibility that it can.
不是说你认为它会发生,而是你必须意识到,有需要用到枪的可能性。
You recognize the possibility that there are evil people in the world who do evil things and you have to be able to protect yourself against that.
你要认识到世界上存在作恶之人这种可能性,而且你必须有能力保护自己免受其害。
I think I'm an average gun owner because, I mean, I'm an average guy.
我想我是个普通的持枪人,因为我就是个普通人。
I mean, there's nothing really special about me. From an early age, Dad would go out hunting, I went with him.
我并没有什么特别之处。从很小的时候,爸爸就会带我一起去打猎。
You know, I was always in the woods with him shooting and you know, at the range sho
第3080期:What happens when octopuses take over
It's never been easy for fishermen in England's southwest to make a living, but now they face a competitor: around 200,000 octopuses, probably coming from the Mediterranean. Climate change is blamed for this migration, and the animals are apparently gobbling up the crab, lobster and other marine life which many fishermen depend on.
对英格兰西南部的渔民来说,谋生从来都不容易,而如今他们面临新的 “竞争对手”——大约 20 万只可能来自地中海的章鱼。人们将这次章鱼迁徙归咎于气候变化。而这些动物似乎正在大量吞食螃蟹、龙虾以及其它渔民赖以谋生的海洋生物。
A report published on Monday found octopuses spotted further north and in Wales, and said fishermen are having to adapt, hunting for the octopuses themselves. One market town recently saw 100 tonnes of octopus sold in a single day.
第3079期:How high temperatures affect sleep
Around the world, summers are getting hotter. Day and night temperatures are increasing. What impact could that be having on how we sleep?
在世界各地,夏季越来越热。 白天和晚上的气温都在升高。 这会对我们的睡眠产生什么影响?
Temperature and sleep are closely linked. Typically, our bodies cool themselves down before we sleep. One of the main ways that we do this is by widening blood vessels near the skin to allow heat to dissipate. In hot weather, this process becomes less effective as it is more difficult for heat to be transferred. One of the body's mechanisms to speed up this process is by allowing sweat to evaporate. However, in humid conditions it's harder for evaporation to take place. If the bod...
第3079a期:Help out with 3D printing
So it's a 3D-printed cowl or helmet. It's like a mask basically but it's specifically designed and tailored to fit my face exactly.
这是一个3D打印的头罩或头盔。它基本上就像一个面罩,但它是专门设计并量身定做,以完全贴合我的脸型。
Because of that, it's kind of difficult to get on because it is a rigid, hard plastic.
因为它是一种坚硬的塑料制成的,所以很难戴上。
But the amount of time that it takes to make something like this is, and cost even is far superior than it would be to sculpting it, molding it, casting it.
但是制作一个这样的面具要花费的时间和成本,都比雕刻、塑形、铸造要高得多。
We are cosplayers. We are comic book nerds and fans of comic book culture and everything like that. So we are naturally inclined to craft things and creativity.
我们是角色扮演者。我们是漫画书虫和漫画文化的粉丝。我们自然就很喜欢手工制作和创意发挥。
That led me to a job at the Long Beach Public Li...
第3078期:New Yorkers seek to remove discriminatory statue
This statue of the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, who served from 1901 to 1909, depicts Roosevelt on horseback with a native American and a black man standing alongside him.
这是美国第26任总统西奥多·罗斯福的雕像,他从1901年到1909年担任总统,雕塑中的罗斯福骑在马上,身旁站着一位美洲原住民和一位黑人。
To those who object to it, the statue suggests colonialism and white supremacy.
对那些反对它的人来说,这座雕像意味着殖民主义和白人至上主义。
It is one of a few statues around New York that protestors want removed, including one of Christopher Columbus.
这是纽约周边抗议者希望移除的少数雕像之一,其中包括克里斯托弗·哥伦布的雕像。
Christopher Columbus being pedestalized and lionized like that is similar to Roosevelt being on a high horse.
克里斯托弗·哥伦布被如此抬高和颂扬,这和罗斯福高高在上的情形类似。
And just like he needs to come down off his high horse, we need to take Columbus off of his pedestal, because he doesn't represent what this land was once representative of. This was the island of Manhattan.
正如罗斯福需要放下高傲的姿态一样,我们也得把哥伦布从神坛上拉下来,因为他并不代表这片土地曾经所代表的东西。这里曾是曼哈顿岛。

We felt we were completely empty. Go reserve tickets now and leave him standing there alone on the stage. What do you say?
我们感觉自己完全空虚了。现在就去订票,让他一个人站在舞台上。你说呢?
Call it the TikTok phenomenon. A call to action on the social network may have contributed to lower than expected turnout at a recent Trump rally.
这可以称为TikTok现象,社交网络上的行动号召可能导致近期特朗普集会上的到场人数低于预期。
In Nashville, six teenagers organized a march against police brutality that drew a crowd of nearly 10,000.
在纳什维尔,六名青少年组织了一场反对警察暴行的游行,吸引了近万人参加。
How did they get the word out? Instagram. Today's youth are speaking up using what they know best: social media.
他们是如何传播消息的?Instagram。如今的年轻人正运用他们最熟悉的方式发声:社交媒体。
I think overall technology has really been a driving force for us, having those things that already connect us and then kind of trying to f

For Rear Admiral (Sel.) Putnam Browne and his daughter Francesca, the Navy isn't just a career, it's the family business.

我绝对认为他对我有重大影响,无论他是否有意为之。
But he taught me so much and I knew that it was the right choice for me because of him.
他教会了我很多,我知道这对我来说是因为他而做的正确的选择。
Francesca attended the prestigious US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Like her father, she rode on a Navy crew team.
弗朗西丝卡曾就读于马里兰州安纳波利斯著名的美国海军学院。和她父亲一样,她曾效力于海军赛艇队。
When a sudden hip injury kept her from rowing, Francesca switched to steering a boat as a coxswain for the men's team, making them the team's first-ever father-daughter duo.
当弗朗西斯卡突然髋部受伤,无法再划船时,她转而担任男子队的舵手来指挥船只,这使他们成为该队有史以来第一对父女组合。

Today, I will be meeting with 3rd and 4th grade students to discuss the issues of slavery, what they know about slavery.
今天,我将与三年级和四年级的学生会面,讨论奴隶制的问题,以及他们对奴隶制的了解。
We need to learn about slavery because in the upcoming generations we can't all just believe that this country was always different races combined together.
我们需要了解奴隶制,因为在未来的几代人中,我们不能都认为这个国家一直都是不同种族融合在一起的。
We have to know what our history was. There was land taken from different races because they were that race.
我们必须了解我们的历史。曾有不同种族的土地被夺走,只因为他们属于那个种族。
And I don't fee
第3073期:Heat, humidity and the World Cup
Fans have been gathering across the US, Canada and Mexico, as well as the world's TV screens, to watch the 2026 men's football World Cup kick off. However, experts have been increasingly worried about the effect of summer heat and humidity on the competing players. High levels of both have been predicted for a number of the tournament venues.
球迷们聚集在美国、加拿大和墨西哥以及世界各地的电视屏幕上,观看 2026 年男足世界杯的开赛。 然而,专家们越来越担心夏季炎热和潮湿对参赛选手的影响。 预计许多比赛场馆的这两项指标都将达到高水平。
Previous competitions held in similar conditions have caused difficulties for players and officials. Assistant referee Humberto Panjoj collapsed during a Copa America game in Kansas City in 2024. In a game in Miami in the same competition, Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo was substituted, complaining of dehydration and dizziness. Players also complained about conditions at the 2025 Club World Cup in the US. Both thes
第3072期:Why temperature records are being not only broken but smashed
European farmers are still counting the cost of last year's drought, which saw plummeting yields of crops like maize and corn.
欧洲农民们仍在承受去年那场大旱带来的损失,那场干旱导致玉米和谷物类作物的产量骤降。
But France today reported it's already short of water, and the European Environment Agency expects this to become a continent-wide problem.
而就在今天,法国已经报告出现水资源短缺的消息。欧洲环境署预计,这将演变成一个影响整个欧洲大陆的问题。
Paradoxically, this will also lead to worse flooding as more water evaporates and then eventually falls back to Earth.
看似矛盾的是,干旱还会导致更严重的洪涝,因为更多的水分蒸发后,最终会以降水的形式回到地面。
The agency's report also warns there'll be about 60 days each year so hot they're dangerous, and that European healthcare needs to adapt to cope with consequent rises in cardiovascular and respiratory illness.
该机构的报告还警告称,未来每年将
