Today at 12:00 AM

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...

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。

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

对海军少将普特南·布朗和他的女儿弗朗西斯卡来说,海军不仅仅是一份职业,还是家族事业。


I definitely think he has a major influence on me whether he meant to or not.

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。

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.

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。

I like to hunt because it releases a primal urge that I've always had since I was a child to go out and pursue something.

我喜欢打猎,因为它能释放一种我从小就有的原始冲动,即走出去追逐某些东西。


Hunting reconnects you with nature and reconnects you with how life used to be back in the day. A lot of people now have got a little softer.

It's written in Positive Psychology and Tourism that recreational travel is essential for our happiness, well-being and quality of life. It may also increase creativity by giving people permission to break free of ordinary patterns, helping them to conceptualise new ideas, as studied by American psychologist, JP Guilford. According to the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, those who travel, even more so, travel abroad, tend to be more open, aware and emotionally stable.

《积极心理学和旅游》中写道,休闲旅行对于我们的幸福、福祉和生活质量至关重要。 美国心理学家 JP 吉尔福德 (JP Guilford) 的研究表明,它还可以通过允许人们打破常规模式来帮助他们构思新想法,从而提高创造力。 根据《人格与社会心理学杂志》的研究,那些旅行过的人,尤其是出国旅行的人,往往更加开放、有意识、情绪稳定。 


But for some, summer is a project. A mood board. A glowing expectation that hangs over the few months making it something to live up to. It can carry a pressure to be optimised and remembered.

Research shows that 15 years after college, US mothers earn 11% less than women without children and 42% less than fathers. This is called the “motherhood penalty.”

研究显示,在大学毕业 15 年后,美国母亲的收入比没有孩子的女性低 11%,比父亲(有孩子的男性)低 42%。这种现象被称为“母职惩罚”(motherhood penalty)。


Many women who became mothers told The New York Times that having kids forced them to leave careers or take part-time jobs. Child care was too expensive, and some had children with special needs. One woman said motherhood should come with a warning label. Another said she lost 750,000 dollars in potential earnings. Mothers said they were tired, stressed, and left out of promotions or special projects. While men with kids often advanced, women with kids disappeared from the workplace. Many stopped saving for retirement or lost job b...

霍克尼被公认为现代最具影响力的艺术家之一,也是 20 世纪 60 年代波普艺术运动(Pop Art)的重要代表人物。


Throughout his long career, he was a creative genius who loved to experiment with different mediums.

Hockney is perhaps best known for his stunning, sun-drenched paintings of swimming pools in California, which explored light, water, and joyful colors. In 2018, one of thes...

On Saturday, after more than eight decades, Harry stopped wondering. The 98-year-old was strapped to the wing of a 1940s biplane as it took to the skies. In doing so, he broke the Guinness World Record for the oldest person ever to complete a wing walk.

Isn't yoghurt an ultra-processed, sugar-laden snack that we should avoid buying when we're in the supermarket? The truth is a bit more complicated, and it all depends on the yoghurt. Some do have a high sugar and fat content and offer few other health benefits. But when it comes to yoghurt, they are not the whole story.

酸奶不是一种经过超加工、含糖量高的零食,我们在超市时应该避免购买吗? 事实有点复杂,这一切都取决于酸奶。 有些糖和脂肪含量确实很高,并且几乎没有其他健康益处。 但说到酸奶,它们并不是全部。


Let's look at some of the potential benefits. Yoghurt is made by fermenting milk, which produces a number of live bacterial cultures. These helpful bacteria interact with our gut flora and have been associated with better digestive health. It's possible that this could lead to reduced symptoms in people with conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome. It's also been suggested that regularly consuming yoghurt c...

美国国家航空航天局(NASA)近日要求国际空间站(ISS)上的五名宇航员进入已对接的SpaceX“龙”飞船内避难。


This safety action was taken while two Russian crew members worked to repair new air leaks in a transfer tunnel of the Russian service module.

这一安全措施是在两名俄罗斯宇航员正在修复俄罗斯服务舱转移通道中新出现的空气泄漏时采取的。


An expert explained that while the situation was serious enough to prepare for a potential evacuation, it was handled as a standard, practiced safety procedure.

一位专家解释称,尽管情况严重到需要准备潜在撤离,但实际上是按照标准的、已演练过的安全程序处理的。


The problem is that the ISS is an elderly spacecraft, and some parts have been operating since 1998, well beyond their original design life.

Friday the 13th is a date that many people around the world connect with bad luck.

“13号星期五”是世界各地许多人认为与厄运相关的一个日期。


This idea comes from a superstition, a belief that something can bring good or bad luck even if there is no proof.

这种观念来自迷信——即认为某些事物会带来好运或厄运,即使没有任何证据支持。


People have long considered both the number 13 and the day Friday unlucky.

人们长期以来都认为数字13和星期五这一天是不吉利的。


The number 12 is often viewed as complete or balanced, so 13 feels unusual or unlucky in comparison.

数字12通常被视为完整或平衡的象征,因此与之相比,13显得不寻常甚至不吉利。


That is why some buildings skip the 13th floor, and people avoid making big plans on that date.

这也是为什么一些建筑会跳过13层,以及人们会避免在这一天做重要计划。

一名美国法官驳回了贾斯汀·巴尔多尼(Justin Baldoni)针对布蕾克·莱弗利(Blake Lively)提起的4亿美元诽谤诉讼。


Baldoni claimed Lively wrongly accused him of sexual harassment during the filming of It Ends with Us. However, the judge said Lively’s complaint to a California agency was privileged, meaning it was legally protected.

巴尔多尼称,莱弗利在拍摄电影《It Ends with Us》期间对他提出了不实的性骚扰指控。然而,法官指出,莱弗利向加州某机构提交的投诉属于“特权信息”,也就是说在法律上受到保护。


The judge also dismissed Baldoni’s 250-million-dollar lawsuit against The New York Times, which had reported on the conflict.

法官还驳回了巴尔多尼针对《纽约时报》(The New York Times)提起的2.5亿美元诉讼,该媒体此前曾报道过这一纠纷。


The judge said Baldoni didn’t give enough facts to support the claim that Lively and others tried to ruin his reputation on purpose.

法官表示,巴尔多尼未提供足够事实来支持其主张,即莱弗利及其他人有意试图破坏他的声誉。


He may still file another lawsuit based on their contract. Meanwhile, Lively’s lawsuit against Baldoni continues. She is asking for more damages, and a t

People are social creatures who have a deep need for real-world community and connection.

人类是社会性生物,对现实世界中的社群归属感和人与人之间的联系有着深层次的需求。


However, the modern phone-based childhood, which began in the early 2010s, has shifted young people’s social lives online and taken away essential physical bonding experiences such as sharing food, laughter, and touch.

然而,自 2010 年代初期开始形成的“以手机为中心的童年”,将年轻人的社交生活转移到了线上,并剥夺了许多建立情感联结所必需的现实互动体验,例如一起分享食物、共同欢笑以及身体接触。


Multiple studies show that this shift causes loneliness, anxiety, and depression.

多项研究表明,这种转变会导致孤独感、焦虑以及抑郁。


Furthermore, the constant use of social media and short videos fragments adolescents’ attention systems and causes what young people call brain rot.

此外,持续使用社交媒体和短视频会破坏青少年的注意力系统,并导致年轻人所说的“脑腐(brain rot)”现象。


Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt explains three main principles of techno-skepticism.

社会心理学家乔纳森·海特(Jonathan Haidt)提出了“技术怀疑主义”的三项主要原则。

In the refined garden designs of Chelsea Flower Show, gnomes are usually a no-no. But this year there'll be a scattering of them around the place, many painted by celebrities.

在切尔西花展雅致的庭院设计中,“小矮人” 往往不登大雅之堂。但今年,它们将出现在花展的各个角落,其中许多都由名人亲手彩绘。


All the gnomes will be sold off to raise money for the Royal Horticultural Society's campaign for school gardening.

所有的小矮人都将被义卖拍卖,所得资金将用于资助皇家园艺协会的校园园艺推广项目。


Elsewhere on the 20-acre site, there's a garden from Parkinson's UK, which includes a rose with hardly any scent, a reminder that a loss of smell is an early symptom of the disease. And the King's Foundation Garden, which had creative input from keen gardener Sir David Beckham, contains plenty of the King's favourite flower, the delphinium.

在这片占地 20 英亩的展区内别处,有英国帕金森病协会打造的花园,里面种植了一种几乎没有香味的玫瑰,以此提醒人们,嗅觉丧失是该疾病的早期症状。还有国

Whether you've reached work or study burnout, you're going through relationship dramas, or you just feel weighed down by life in general, stress is something that's difficult to avoid. If only there were an easy and free way to alleviate it. Luckily, there is! Breathwork. Breathing is the first and last thing we do on this planet, and it's the simplest way we can alleviate stress and anxiety both immediately and long-term, when done properly. So, how can we reap the benefits?

无论您是否已达到工作或学习倦怠、是否正在经历人际关系戏剧,或者您只是感到生活的压力,压力都是难以避免的。 如果有一种简单且免费的方法来缓解它就好了。 幸运的是,有! 呼吸。 呼吸是我们在这个星球上做的第一件事也是最后一件事,如果做得正确,这是我们可以立即和长期缓解压力和焦虑的最简单方法。 那么,我们怎样才能获得好处呢?


It's about slowing down. "We all tend to hyperventilate, breathing too fast and not very effectively," says David Spiegel, professor of psychiatry and behavioural sciences at Stanford University in the US. One way to make our breathing more intentional is a technique called 'cyclic sighing', with a focus on prolonged exhalation. Begin with a deep inhale through your nose. Just when y...

Many office workers feel frustrated by meetings that seem pointless. A recent survey shows that the average UK worker spends 27 days a year in such meetings. But improving meetings is possible with the right strategies.

许多上班族对那些看似毫无意义的会议感到沮丧。一项最新调查显示,英国普通员工每年平均有27天都耗费在这样的会议中。不过,只要采用合适的策略,会议质量是可以改善的。


First, preparation is very important. Whether you are running the meeting or attending, preparing in advance makes the meeting more useful. Chairs should send out an agenda and maybe a starting question. Participants should read the materials and consider what they want to say. Knowing who is in the meeting also helps – chairs should give everyone, both extroverts and introverts, a chance to speak.

首先,准备工作非常重要。无论你是会议主持人还是参会者,提前准备都会让会议更有价值。主持人应提前发送议程,甚至可以提出一个开场问题。参会者也应提前阅读材料,并思考自己想要表达的内容。了解参会人员也很重要——主持人应确保每个人都有发言机会,无论...

A Russian drone crashed into a 10-story residential building in the Romanian city of Galați overnight, and injured a woman and a child. This incident caused great panic among local citizens, who now feel unsafe.

一架俄罗斯无人机在夜间坠毁并撞上了罗马尼亚城市Galați的一栋10层住宅楼,造成一名女性和一名儿童受伤。该事件在当地居民中引发了极大恐慌,许多人因此感到不安全。


Romania quickly scrambled F-16 fighter jets, and the pilots had permission to shoot, but they couldn’t destroy the drone in time. Officials explained that the city is located very close to the Ukrainian border, which gave the military only a few minutes to react. Furthermore, advanced fighter jets like the F-16 are designed for air combat, which makes it very difficult to target small, low-flying, and slow drones. Shooting them down over a large city could also cause dangerous de...

On Friday night, rescuers in Laos successfully evacuated the first of five villagers who had been trapped inside a flooded cave for more than a week.

周五晚上,老挝Laos的救援人员成功营救出五名被困在被洪水淹没洞穴中超过一周的村民中的第一人。


The men originally entered the cave to search for gold but became trapped when heavy rain caused sudden flash flooding. One villager managed to escape early and informed the authorities. Divers discovered the remaining five men alive on Wednesday, about 300 meters from the cave entrance. Rescue workers provided them with water, soft food, and waterproof blankets to keep them warm.

这些男子最初进入洞穴是为了寻找黄金,但由于强降雨引发突发山洪而被困。一名村民成功提前逃出并向当局报告情况。潜水员在周三发现其余五人仍然活着,位置距离洞口约300米。救援人员为他们提供了饮用水、软食以及防水毯以保持体温。


While the first man was safely taken for a medical check, the evacuation of the other four was paused for a day. Rescuers are also searching for two additional people who are still missing deeper inside the cave where the water is extremely deep. Some members of the rescue team previously helped save the 12

Learning a new language can be difficult, especially if you only remember funny, random textbook phrases. To help you improve, there are five effective hacks.

学习一门新语言可能很困难,尤其是当你只记得一些有趣但零散的课本句子时。为了帮助你提升语言能力,这里有五个有效的方法。


First, skip complicated grammar rules at the beginning and learn the 50 most common phrases. Make them personal; focus on words you will actually use in daily life.

首先,一开始不要纠结于复杂的语法规则,而是学习最常用的50个短语。让这些内容与自己相关,重点学习那些你在日常生活中真正会用到的词汇和表达。


Second, listen to the language as much as possible through YouTube, radio, or audiobooks, preferably just above your current level. This tunes your ear and helps with pattern recognition.

其次,尽可能多地通过 YouTube、广播或有声书来听这门语言,最好选择略高于你当前水平的内容。这能够训练你的听力,并帮助你识别语言模式。


Third, practice talking to yourself, your pets, or plants to get comfortable.

第三,练习对自己、宠物,甚至植物说话,让自己逐渐适应使用这门语言进行表达。


Fourth, relax on the sofa and watch TV shows, movies, or children’s programs, and follow social media accounts in your target language to learn real expressions.

Coming up with new ideas and questioning and challenging the ideas of others is how we make sense of the world around us and learn more about it, Paddy Rodgers says.

提出新想法并对其他人的想法提出异议和挑战,才是我们解读周遭世界并深入了解它的途径,帕迪·罗杰斯这样说。


The man in charge of the 350-year-old Royal Observatory in Greenwich warns that human curiosity is too vital to be satisfied by the quick answers delivered by AI.

作为执掌有 350 年历史的格林尼治皇家天文台的人,他警告称好奇心对人类至关重要,绝非人工智能给出的快捷答案所能简单满足的。


He's concerned that over-reliance on the tech could leave people more vulnerable to misinformation and society less able to engage with science.

令他担忧的是,对科技的过度依赖可能让人们更易受到虚假消息的影响,也令社会更难以接触和理解科学。

You might have mixed feelings about rain. For those experiencing long periods of drought, rain can bring joy. But for those wanting to enjoy the outdoors, a large downpour can ruin the experience. Getting drenched by the weather can make you feel cold and weaken your immune system, but there are some surprising benefits to going out in the rain, provided you've got your brolly and raincoat!

您可能对下雨有复杂的感觉。 对于长期干旱的人们来说,雨水可以带来欢乐。 但对于那些想要享受户外活动的人来说,一场大雨可能会破坏这种体验。 被天气淋湿会让您感到寒冷并削弱您的免疫系统,但如果您带上雨伞和雨衣,在雨中外出还有一些令人惊讶的好处!


Have you ever noticed a difference in the smell in the air after it's rained? That smell has a name – petrichor. This earthy scent, a pleasant one to many, happens when raindrops release particles from the ground. Humans are incredibly sensitive to the smell, which some scientists think is because it tells us there is new, fresh water. It probably made our ancestors feel safe and...

These bones at the Denver Science Museum come from ancient bison.

丹佛科学博物馆的这些骨头来自古代的野牛。


20,000 years ago, ice age people built fires using bones like these from the animals they hunted in cold dry prairies.

两万年前,冰河时代的人们用在寒冷干燥的草原上狩猎的动物的骨头生火。


They had only grass and twigs from bushes, but no trees. So campfire wood was scarce.

他们只有草和灌木丛中的树枝,没有树。营火的木头很是稀缺。


Their alternative fuel clearly was bone, because bone ash shows up in many of the archaeological sites that I have worked at.

他们的替代燃料显然是骨头,因为在我工作过的许多考古遗址中都发现了骨灰。


Now a team of volunteers helps Hoffecker make an Ice Age bone fire, starting with a paleolithic fire drill.

现在,一组志愿者帮助霍菲克从旧石器时代的取火行动开始,试图重现冰河时代用骨头来取火。


I am not dreaming that it's gonna happen. We tried a bone drill. That's a lot of work. So we went to our methods wit

我叫托德·格雷,是Equinox餐厅的厨师,和妻子艾伦·卡索夫共同经营着这家餐厅。


We have almost as much discarded trim as we do what we would call yield. I think about four years ago, Ellen really was the catalyst.

我们丢弃的边角料几乎和我们所谓的成品产量一样多。我觉得大概是在四年前,艾伦催生了这一想法。


So she was saying, "Hey, you know, we really need to be a little more careful with the waste that we're doing. We really need to look into composting."

So this piece called Lalu is probably from about ten years ago, from this body of work kind of looking at fields, the visual of the motion of tall grass and the wind.

这个叫“Lalu”的作品大约创作于十年前,出自这个以田野为主题的系列作品,探讨了高草随风摇曳的视觉效果。


You never see the wind. You always see the effects of the wind.

你看不见风。但是你总能感受到风带来的影响。


But also for me is sort of calling to mind of the front end of a harvest or a reaper and the way that this machine enters the field, and sort of cuts the grain down and processes the grain.

但对我来说,这让我想起了收割机的前端,以及这台机器进入田地、割倒谷物并加工谷物的方式。


I don't think of it as a robot creating art. These are no more robots than just sort of like atoms that are moving through space right now.

我不认为这是机器人在创作艺术。它们和此刻在太空中移动的原子没什么两样,称不上是机器人。
