Start with small things: changing over your water bottle to reusable, then do maybe your coffee cup, then work on weaning yourself off paper towels.

从小事做起：把水瓶换成可重复使用的，然后可以换咖啡杯，接着努力戒掉使用纸巾。

And there's different ways, you know. Then, maybe you want to start buying local food and eating less meat.

有不同的方法。也许你会想开始购买本地食材并减少肉类摄入。

I mean, don't think that you have to do everything at one time, to take one step at a time and then it's not as insurmountable or scary.

别想着必须一次性完成所有事情，要一步一步来，这样就不会显得那么难以克服或可怕了。

This is our semi-annual textile drive. So, we run two a year. We also run two e-waste drive, so electronic waste drives, four drives a year.

这是我们每半年举行一次的纺织品促销活动。一年两次。我们还会举办两次电子废物促销活动，也就是一年总共四次活动。

And this one, for this one we partner with Wearable Collecti

No peeing on plants or mailboxes, that's my rule. This is Gretl, she's just a puppers.

不准在植物或邮箱上撒尿，这是我的规矩。这是格蕾特，她是只小狗。

She is a cavalier king poodle mix. The five most important things to be successful in the dog walking business to me, number one, integrity.

她是一只骑士贵宾犬混血。对我来说，在遛狗业务中取得成功的五个最重要因素，第一是诚信。

It's what you do when nobody is looking. So just you have to be where you are when you say you're gonna be there and follow through.

无人注视时的举动才见真章。你只需言出必行——说到何处便在何处现身，且贯彻始终。

Two, kind of ties into, it is reliability. Where's my girls at? I can't tell somebody I'm gonna be at their house by 2 and show up at 2:30.

第二点和第一点有一些联系，那就是可靠。我的小宝贝们在哪？我不能告诉别人我两点到他们家，结果两点半才出现。

So I'm in constant contact with my clients. I send pictures. I use live Facebook to comfort my clie

This is what your brainwaves look like at any given moment. To the untrained eye, it's just a jumble of lines.

这就是你大脑在任何时刻的脑电波形态。在外行人看来，这不过是一堆杂乱无章的线条。

For AJ Keller and Alex Castillo, it's a treasure trove of data.

对AJ·凯勒和亚历克斯·卡斯蒂略来说，这是一个数据宝库。

The pair have created Notion, a 900-dollar wearable device that captures and processes brainwave signals, transforming thoughts into action.

两人共同研发了Notion这款价值900美元的可穿戴设备，它能捕捉并处理脑电波信号，将思维转化为行动。

There are eight sensors that are imaging the brain 250 times a second.

有八个感应器每秒对大脑进行250次成像。

All of that is instantaneously being processed on the actual headset. Notion is a so-called brain computer.

所有这些数据都会在头戴设备上即时处理。Notion是一种所谓的脑机。

So traditionally brain computer interfaces, they relay their raw data to a computer

The 24-carat gold pendant features the Tudor rose and a pomegranate bush, the personal symbol of Katherine of Aragon.

这枚 24K 纯金吊坠上刻有都铎玫瑰和石榴树丛纹饰，后者是 “阿拉贡的凯瑟琳” 的个人象征。

Discovered by a metal detectorist in a field in Warwickshire in 2019, it's believed to be the only surviving piece of jewellery directly linked to Henry VIII's 24-year marriage to Katherine.

这枚吊坠由一位金属探测寻宝爱好者在 2019 年于沃里克郡的一处田野中发现，它被认为是唯一一件存世的、与亨利八世和凯瑟琳 24 年的婚姻有直接关联的珠宝。

The British Museum raised hundreds of thousands of pounds to help pay for the piece through a public appeal. Its director, Nicholas Cullinan, says the response shows how strongly people value Britain's past.

大英博物馆通过公众募捐筹集了上百万英镑以支付购买这件珠宝。大英博物馆馆长尼古拉斯·库里南表示，公众的响应显示出人们对英国历史的高度珍视。

The pendant will join the museum's collection later this year and is expected to tour the UK.

这枚吊坠将在今年晚些时候加入到大英博物馆的藏品行列中，并计划在英国各地巡回展出。

From singing at concerts to singing 'Happy birthday'. Around the world, humans have been singing in unison for millennia. Some anthropologists even think our ancestors may have sung before they could speak. "Lullabies are sung to children, and then songs are sung at funerals", says Alex Street, from the Cambridge Institute for Music Therapy Research, who thinks that our positive response to music is no accident. Music is not only enjoyable, but beneficial for our health.

从在音乐会上唱歌到唱“生日快乐”。 在世界各地，人类几千年来一直在齐声歌唱。 一些人类学家甚至认为我们的祖先可能在会说话之前就已经唱歌了。 剑桥音乐治疗研究所的亚历克斯·斯特里特说：“给孩子们唱摇篮曲，然后在葬礼上唱歌曲”，他认为我们对音乐的积极反应并非偶然。 音乐不仅令人愉悦，而且对我们的健康有益。

There is growing evidence that singing can energise us, improve immune function and increase feelings of happiness, according to 'A Review of the Physiological Effects and Mechanisms of Singing', published in 2018. It's thought that the repeated and controlled breathing that singing requires releases endorphins, which are chemicals released by the brain associated with pleasure and wellbeing. It may even provide a p...

OK, I'm not proud of it, but sometimes when I'm watching TV, I might not actually be watching. Sometimes I'm just more tempted by my phone. Be honest, do you do the same? If you do, then we're not alone, lots of us watch TV with our phones in our hands. How is TV changing to accommodate this?

好吧，我并不为此感到自豪，但有时当我看电视时，我可能实际上并没有在看。 有时我只是对手机更感兴趣。 说实话，你也这样做吗？ 如果您这样做，那么我们并不孤单，我们很多人都拿着手机看电视。 电视如何改变以适应这一点？

Let's start by looking at the data. Studies have investigated different countries across the world and many of them reported that most people use their phone while watching TV. While the classic stereotype is that it's younger people who find it hard to put their phone down, the data actually shows that second-screening is common in most age groups under 55. Younger age groups are more likely to be looking at social med...

In central Kenya, local say people are being driven away from their homes by a cactus.

肯尼亚中部地区有传言称，一种仙人掌正迫使当地居民背井离乡。

Many people have moved out because their goats and cattle are dying. The people of Il Polei and Muneshwara are fleeing to other places. Many have left.

很多人因为山羊和牛不断死亡而搬离，伊尔波莱和穆内什瓦拉的居民正逃往其他地方，许多人已经离开。

The opuntia cactus are spread like a weed, killing off thousands of acres of grassland. Rancher Margaret Mamai says it has destroyed her livelihood.

仙人掌像杂草一样蔓延，毁掉了数千英亩的草原。牧场主玛格丽特·马迈说，这毁了她的生计。

If goats eat the cactus and its fruit, their eyes and mouth are affected. The most effective one is sheep.

如果山羊吃了仙人掌及其果实，它们的眼睛和嘴巴会受到影响。最可怜的是绵羊。

If it eats the cactus, there is no treatment. It dies. Now there is no place for them to graze.

如果它们吃了仙人掌，就无药可医了。它们就死定了。现在它们没有地方吃草了。

Mamai is figh

Millions of people flock to the Trevi Fountain every year to take photos and make a wish as they flip a coin into the water, but there have long been complaints from locals about overcrowding. Now two lanes are being set up: one for residents, who get free access to the fountain, and another for tourists, who have to buy a ticket. The fees will go towards upkeep of the fountain and managing visitors.

每年都有数百万计的游客涌向特雷维喷泉，合影留念并向水中投硬币许愿。然而，当地居民长期以来一直对过度拥挤的人群有所怨言。现在，那里设立了两条专用通道：一条为居民通道，当地居民可免费进入喷泉区域；另一条为游客通道，游客需购买门票方可进入。门票收入将用于喷泉的修缮维护以及游客流量管理。

Tourists will also start paying for access to five other attractions across Rome, including the Napoleonic Museum. Venice already charges some visitors an entry fee on certain days, and with a boom in global tourism, other European cities are considering similar ideas.

游客前往罗马的其它五个景点也将开始付费，包括拿破仑博物馆。威尼斯已经在特定日期向部分游客收取 “进城费”，而随着全球旅游业的迅速增长，其它欧洲城市也在考虑推行类似的收费政策。

You may have heard of the idiom 'once in a blue moon' to describe an event that doesn't happen often. But can the Moon really be blue? Our closest neighbour in this vast galaxy, the Moon, orbits the Earth like a natural satellite. Unlike many of the other planets in our Solar System, ours only has the one moon. If you flew to it, you would land on grey rocks. This is because the lunar surface is made from mostly magnesium, iron and other minerals of that colour. But, if you're lucky to have clear skies under the curtain...

Cave art is seen as a key evolutionary moment, marking the point that humans began to think in truly abstract, symbolic ways. The kind of imagination that underpins language, religion, and science.

洞穴艺术的出现被视作进化史上的一个关键时刻，它标志着人类从这个时间点开始用真正抽象和象征性的方式思考。正是这种想象力，构成了语言、宗教和科学的基石。

Uranium dating confirms that the latest discovery is more than a thousand years older than the previous oldest artwork. It adds to the view that there was no single creative awakening for humanity in a small part of Western Europe, which then spread. Rather, creativity was innate. Evidence for which stretches back to Africa where our species of humans, Homo sapiens, evolved.

铀系测年法确认，最新的发现比先前认为最古老的画作还要早 1000 多年。这一发现进一步支持了这样一个观点：人类创造力的觉醒并非源于西欧的一小块地区，而后扩散传播开来。恰恰相反，创造力是与生俱来的。证明这一点的证据可以追溯到非洲，我们人类的物种——智人最初进化出来的地方。

Thanks to data collected by satellites, scientists have a good understanding of Antarctica's icy surface, but what lies beneath has remained more of a mystery. In fact, more is known about the surface of some planets in our solar system than much of what's under the continent's ice.

得益于人造卫星采集到的数据，科学家们对南极洲的冰层表面有良好的认识，但潜藏其下的部分则一直更像是一个谜题。实际上，人类对我们太阳系中一些行星表面的了解甚至超过了对这片大陆冰下世界的认识。

Now, researchers have used a new approach to create what they believe to be the most detailed map of the landscape yet. The ridges, mountains, and channels shape how fast the glaciers above move, and understanding the topography could help scientists work out how quickly the ice might retreat in a warming climate.

现在，研究人员采用了一种新方法，绘制出了他们认为迄今为止最详尽的描绘这片景观的地形图。冰下的山脊、山脉和沟槽决定了上方冰川移动的速度，了解这些地形细节能帮助科学家计算出冰层随着不断变暖的气候可能会以多快的速度消退。

The scientists say m

Many of us grew up learning that humans have five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch – an idea dating back to the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. But what if this list is incomplete? A sense is anything that can give your body information about the outside world, and some of these don't neatly fit into the traditional five. Modern scientists estimate there may be up to 33 different senses.

我们中的许多人在成长过程中都知道人类有五种感官：视觉、听觉、味觉、嗅觉和触觉——这个想法可以追溯到古希腊哲学家亚里士多德。 但如果这个列表不完整怎么办？ 感觉是任何可以为你的身体提供有关外部世界信息的东西，其中一些并不完全符合传统的五种感觉。 现代科学家估计可能有多达 33 种不同的感觉。

One sense that doesn't fit into one of the five boxes is proprioception. This is the sense of where your body parts are in space. Thanks to this sense, you can touch your nose with your eyes closed and walk around in the dark – you know where your legs are without looking. Then there's interoception which helps you sense things inside your body, like hunger and an increased heart rate. And don't take your...

72-year-old Samaila Adamu is repairing this faulty generator using very unique tools.

72岁的Samaila Adamu正在用非常独特的工具修理这台有故障的发电机。

After losing his vision 26 years ago, Adamu learned to spot motorized faults through sound and touch.

26年前失明后，Adamu学会了通过声音和触觉来识别机动故障。

When people bring generators for repairs, I touched the parts and feel them, then I know what's wrong with them.

当人们把发电机送来维修时，我触摸并感受那些零件，就能知道问题出在哪里。

Adamu makes less than five dollars on every generator repair, nearly enough to provide for his three wives and 19 children. But he says it keeps him from begging on the streets.

Adamu每修好一台发电机只能赚不到五美元，勉强够养活他的三位妻子和十九个孩子。但他说这至少让他不必上街乞讨。

It helps me provide food to feed myself, my wives and children. I don't receive assistance from any

Are you one of those people that sees faces in inanimate objects? Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have been trying to find out why this is. They have pinpointed a circuit in an evolutionarily ancient part of the brain. It's called the superior colliculus, and it helps us recognise facial features. It triggers movement of the eyes, turning of the head and enables us to detect faces.

您是那些在无生命物体中看到面孔的人之一吗？ 美国国立卫生研究院的研究人员一直试图找出其中的原因。 他们在大脑中一个进化古老的部分中找到了一个回路。 它被称为上丘，它帮助我们识别面部特征。 它会触发眼睛的运动、头部的转动，并使我们能够检测面部。

This study helps us understand face pareidolia – the common psychological phenomenon where the brain perceives illusions of faces in objects, like seeing faces in the clouds, exteriors of houses or even in a slice of toast. A study carried out by Susan Wardle showed that the parts of the human brain that respond to faces are sensitive to the shapes of other objects, and that our visual system is opti...

As a puppeteer, I make puppets as well. I build my own puppets. I perform.

作为一个木偶师，我也制作木偶。我自己做木偶，自己表演。

If it's my own production, then I have to write the story.

如果是我自己的作品，那我就得写故事了。

People love puppeteers. Whenever I tell people, people ask me, "What do you do?"

人们喜欢木偶师。每当我和别人交流时，他们就会问我：“你是做什么的？”

I say, "I'm a puppeteer." And everybody's first reaction, "Oh."

我说“我是个木偶师。”他们的第一反应都是“哇。”

Puppetry is such a magical art form because it brings things to life just by moving it.

木偶戏是一种神奇的艺术形式，因为它仅仅通过动作就能赋予木偶生命。

And the reason why it's so magical, it not only depends on my own imagination, but it also depends on audience's imagination,

木偶戏的神奇之处，不仅取决于我自己的想象力，也取决于观众的想象力。

Aggressive medication used during a clinical trial paralyzed her left arm and leg.

临床试验期间使用的强效药物导致她的左臂和左腿瘫痪。

As a nurse, Gersh knew she had to take action quickly in order to get moving again.

作为一名护士，格什知道她必须迅速采取行动，以便恢复行动。

Everything was totally limp and flaccid on the left side. She found Neofect, a tech company that uses games to retrain the brain through physical therapy.

Neofect CEO Scott Kim leaned on his own experience with rehab as a young child born with spina bifida.

Neofect首席执行官ScottKim借鉴了自己幼时因脊柱裂接受康复治疗的经历。

I had a major surgery on my back, and after the surgery, I had to go through the rehabilitation process, ge

Humans do it, chimpanzees do it, even polar bears do it. And now a study has shown that kissing likely evolved about 21 and a half million years ago.

人类会接吻，黑猩猩也会接吻，甚至北极熊都会接吻。而如今，一项研究表明，接吻很可能是 2150 万年前出现的。

The mouth-on-mouth kiss is actually something of a biological puzzle, with no obvious survival or reproductive benefits, so the Oxford University-led team gathered evidence of animals that kiss each other on the mouth and worked out their evolutionary relationship to each other and to humans. This revealed that kissing probably evolved in the last common ape ancestor of humans, chimps and bonobos

嘴对嘴的接吻其实是一个生物学谜题，这个行为对生存和繁殖并没有明显的益处。所以，一个由牛津大学主导的团队收集了动物互相之间会亲吻嘴部的证据，然后找到了它们彼此之间以及和人类之间的进化关系。这一研究发现接吻很可能是在人类、黑猩猩和倭黑猩猩的最后一个共同猿类祖先身上进化出来的。

The study suggested that Neanderthals probably kissed too, and that they may have smooched with modern humans when the two species lived alongside each other. The researchers hope that the insight will encourage more scientists to gather data that could finally help solve the evolutionary mystery of why we and many other animals kiss.

这项研究认为尼安德特人很可能也会接吻，并且

Laughter is so important. Laughter is medicine. Laughter is the shortest distance between two people, one of the best gifts we've ever been given.

笑是如此重要。笑是良药。 笑是两个人之间最短的距离，是我们最好的馈赠。

有不安而敏感的笑，时常需要别人的肯定。他们总是问“你看到了吗”，然后别人会说，“我听到了，我们看的是同一个表演。”

Oh, the snorter, my favorite, you know. It's like such a compliment when you get a snort except you feel bad for their spouse.

还有我最喜欢的笑出猪叫。当别人对你笑出猪叫的时候，事实上是一种褒奖，只不过你会为他们的配偶感到难过。

But it wasn't really until I got here to UVA, had access to the woodshop, that I realized that I really liked, you know, woodworking.

但是我是来了弗吉尼亚大学之后，才开始接触木工活，然后才意识到我非常喜欢木工活。

I've been just following the plans and the instructions that I found and that should hold up for a good while. These are a little, there you go. There's some 'shorties.'

我一直都按照说明和指南进行拼装，这些应该能维持相当长一段时间。这里有一个小的，给你。这里有一些比较短的。

Is your house at its tidiest when you've got a deadline coming up? Do you have a list of jobs that you really need to do, but you really don't want to start doing? Procrastination can mean that we spend more time putting off a job than we'd ever actually spend completing it. Understanding why we do it might help us to understand how to stop doing it.

当截止日期临近时，你的房子是最整洁的吗？ 您是否有一份确实需要做但又不想开始做的工作清单？ 拖延可能意味着我们花在推迟某项工作上的时间比实际完成它所花的时间还要多。 了解我们为什么这样做可能有助于我们了解如何停止这样做。

There are different reasons why people procrastinate. Some people avoid tasks if they can relate them to traumatic situations in their past. Sometimes we don't do certain tasks because we're swamped with other things.

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。
