第3183期:Trump freezes all foreign aid for 90 days
Some South African organizations that assist people with HIV are in limbo after the United States put a 90-day freeze on most foreign aid. 在美国对大部分外援实施为期90天的冻结后，一些帮助艾滋病毒感染者的南非组织陷入了困境。 U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said he wants to bring the agency's activities in line with the new government's "America First" agenda. Kate Bartlett reports from Johannesburg. 美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥（Marco Rubio）表示，他希望该机构的活动符合新政府的“美国优先”议程。凯特·巴特利特（Kate Bartlett）在约翰内斯堡报道。 South Africa has the highest number of HIV-positive people in the world, about 8 million, but has also been a huge success story in terms of treatment and preventing new infections. 南非是世界上艾滋病毒感染者最多的国家，约800万人，但在治疗和预防新感染方面也取得了巨大的成功。 That's largely due to the money poured into expert HIV care here, some 17 percent of which comes from a U.S. program called the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR. 这在很大程度上要归功于南非投入到专业艾滋病毒治疗的资金，其中约17%来自美国的一项名为“总统防治艾滋病紧急救援计划”（PEPFAR）的计划。 But a 90-day foreign aid funding freeze is in effect, following an executive order by President Trump last month, while the State Department has issued a waiver to continue paying for "life-saving" services. 但根据特朗普总统上个月的一项行政命令，为期90天的外援资金冻结已经生效，而美国国务院已发布豁免，继续支付“救命”服务的费用。 What that includes remains unclear to many South African organizations that receive funding from PEPFAR. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this week that the waiver was clear. 对于许多接受PEPFAR资助的南非组织来说，这包括哪些内容仍不清楚。美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥本周表示，豁免条款很明确。 "If it saves lives, if it's emergency life-saving aid - food, medicine, whatever - they have a waiver. I don't know how much clearer we can be." “如果它能挽救生命，如果它是紧急救生援助——食品、药品，无论什么——他们都有豁免。我不知道我们还能有多清楚。” The South African government says it was blindsided by the U.S. aid freeze, according to Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi, who convened a meeting about PEPFAR on Wednesday. 南非卫生部长阿伦·莫措阿莱迪（Aaron Motsoaledi）周三召集了一次关于PEPFAR的会议，他表示，美国援助冻结令南非政府措手不及。 Motsoaledi also said he has sought clarification on the waiver. 莫措阿莱迪还表示，他已寻求对豁免条款的澄清。 "If you say American money cannot be used for LGBTQWI+ and we do the counseling and testing and somebody who falls within that category, transgender, tests HIV-positive, can they not be helped? Even if it's lifesaving?" “如果你说美国的钱不能用于LGBTQWI+，而我们进行咨询和检测，而属于该类别的某个变性人，检测出HIV阳性，难道他们就得不到帮助吗？即使这是为了救命？” On Wednesday, a group of health organizations sent a letter to the South African government saying at least 900,000 patients with HIV were directly affected by the U.S. stop-work orders. Kate Bartlett, VOA News, Johannesburg. 周三，一些卫生组织致信南非政府，称至少有90万艾滋病患者直接受到美国停工令的影响。美国之音新闻记者凯特·巴特利特在约翰内斯堡报道。 President Trump's move to freeze most foreign aid has also brought health care services to a halt at refugee camps on the Thai-Myanmar border. Reuters correspondent Fiona Jones reports. 特朗普总统冻结大部分外援的举动也导致泰缅边境难民营的医疗服务陷入停顿。路透社记者菲奥娜·琼斯（Fiona Jones）报道。 A group of Thai medics battled to save the life of elderly Myanmar refugee Adabi. 一群泰国医务人员奋力挽救缅甸老年难民阿达比的生命。 Previously the U.S.-funded International Rescue Committee would have treated her and the tens of thousands of other refugees living in camps on the Thai-Myanmar border. 此前，美国资助的国际救援委员会将为她和生活在泰缅边境难民营的数万名其他难民提供治疗。 But President Trump's freeze on most foreign aid has forced seriously ill patients like Adabi to rely on Thailand's state-run facilities instead. 但特朗普总统冻结大部分外援，迫使像阿达比这样的重病患者转而依赖泰国国营医疗机构。 Last week, the government vowed to support refugee health care following the U.S. aid suspension. Reuters correspondent Fiona Jones. 上周，美国暂停援助后，政府誓言支持难民医疗保健。路透社记者菲奥娜·琼斯报道。

第3182期:US Birthright Citizenship Abolition Order Halted Again
Hi, I'm VOA's Alexis Strope with your worldwide news update. 大家好，我是美国之音新闻记者Alexis Strope，为您带来全球新闻更新。 President Donald Trump has signed an executive order formalizing his announcement earlier this week that he'll freeze assistance to South Africa for a law aiming to address some of the wrongs of South Africa's racist apartheid era. 本周早些时候，唐纳德·特朗普总统签署了一项行政命令，正式宣布他将冻结对南非的援助，以支持一项旨在修正南非种族隔离时代一些错误的法律。 The White House says the law amounts to discrimination against the country's white minority. 白宫表示，这项法律相当于对该国白人少数群体的歧视。 As long as South Africa continues to support bad actors on the world stage and allows violent attacks on innocent, disfavored minority farmers, the United States will stop aid and assistance to the country, the White House said in a summary of the order. 白宫在行政命令摘要中表示，只要南非继续支持世界舞台上的坏人，并允许对无辜、不受青睐的少数族裔农民进行暴力袭击，美国就会停止对该国的援助。 The White House said Trump is also going to announce a program to resettle white South African farmers and their families as refugees. 白宫表示，特朗普还将宣布一项计划，将南非白人农民及其家人作为难民重新安置。 The order also references South Africa's role in bringing accusations of genocide against Israel before the International Court of Justice. 该命令还提到了南非在将以色列种族灭绝指控提交国际法院方面所起的作用。 President Donald Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship faces another legal challenge. AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports. 唐纳德·特朗普总统关于出生公民权的行政命令面临另一项法律挑战。美联社记者Haya Panjwani报道。 A federal judge in Boston will consider a request from 18 states to block President Donald Trump's executive order ending birthright citizenship for the children of parents who are in the United States illegally. 波士顿的一名联邦法官将考虑18个州提出的阻止唐纳德·特朗普总统的行政命令的请求，该命令终止非法移民子女的出生公民权。 The hearing comes after a federal judge in Seattle blocked the effort and said Trump was trying to change the constitution with an executive order. 听证会开始之前，西雅图的一名联邦法官阻止该举措并表示特朗普试图通过行政命令改变宪法。 Plaintiffs in the Boston suit also say Trump's order would cost states funding. 波士顿诉讼的原告还表示，特朗普的命令将耗费各州的资金。 They rely on it to provide essential services like foster care, health care for low income children and early interventions for infants, toddlers and students with disabilities. 他们依靠它来提供基本服务，如寄养、低收入儿童的医疗保健以及对婴幼儿和残疾学生的早期干预。 Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell: "... but newborn babies are not criminals. 马萨诸塞州总检察长安德里亚·乔伊·坎贝尔（Andrea Joy Campbell）说道：“……但新生婴儿不是罪犯。 This order targets innocent newborns that have done absolutely nothing wrong. 这项命令针对的是没有做错任何事的无辜新生儿。 They do not deserve to be punished solely because of their parents' immigration status." Audio courtesy of WCVB. 他们不应该仅仅因为父母的移民身份而受到惩罚。”音频由WCVB提供。

第3181期:US lab paves the way for quantum internet
When news spread late last year that the Fermilab National AcceleratorLaboratoryin suburban Chicago was part of a project achieving quantum teleportation, it conjured up scenes from the classic science fiction franchise Star Trek in which the show's characters could beam from one location to another. 去年年底，当有消息传出芝加哥郊外的费米国家加速器实验室参与了一个实现量子隐形传态的项目时，这不禁让人联想到经典科幻系列《星际迷航》中的场景——剧中角色可以从一个地点瞬间传送到另一个地点。 That's not what we're doing here. What we're doing here actually is we're moving information without even physically moving the qubit that contains information. 这并非我们在这里的目的。我们在这里实际做的是，无需物理移动承载信息的量子比特，就能传输信息。 Fermilab scientist Panagiotis Spentzouris is one of the co-authors of a study documenting the advancement of sending or teleporting information or qubit, a unit of quantum computing code. 费米实验室的科学家Panagiotis Spentzouris是这项研究的合著者之一，该研究记录了发送或传送信息或量子比特（量子计算代码的单位）的进展。 Over 40 kilometers through fiber cables, it brings developers one step closer to building a sustainable and widely used quantum internet, which would allow a lot of information to be shared faster and more securely. 它通过光纤电缆跨越四十多公里，让开发者距离构建可持续且被广泛使用的量子互联网更近一步，这种量子互联网能够让大量信息以更快、更安全的方式共享。 Quantum communication has very appealing attributes. I mean, you cannot eavesdrop in a way that will not be detected. 量子通信具有非常吸引人的特性。你无法在不被发现的情况下进行窃听。 What we achieved here with the systems is that we have produced systems that they can continually operate and perform quantum measurements at all times as a system, not just as a single experiment. 我们借助这些系统所达成的成果是，我们制造出了能够持续运行并随时作为系统进行量子测量的系统，而不仅仅是单次实验。 Physicist Maria Spiropulu, based at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California, says quantum teleportation could sustain networks that enhance GPS and speed up and amplify communication at great distances with spacecraft and probes, among many other possibilities. 位于加利福尼亚州帕萨迪纳市的加州理工学院的物理学家Maria Spiropulu表示，量子隐形传态可以维持能增强全球定位系统性能、加快并放大与远距离航天器及探测器通信的网络，还具备许多其他可能性。 While building a new quantum internet would revolutionize the way we share sensitive information, the physical technology to make it all work is still in its infancy. 尽管构建全新的量子互联网会彻底改变我们传输敏感信息的方式，但支撑这一切落地的物理技术目前仍处于起步阶段。 You're trying to make them forward compatible so that when material scientists and condensed matter people give you more instrumentation and devices, more advanced devices that you can plug them in. 你在努力让它们具备向前兼容性，这样当材料科学家和凝聚态物理领域的人员为你提供更多仪器和设备、更先进的设备时，你就能把它们接入使用。 In 2020, the US Department of Energy laid out a blueprint for a national quantum network using its 17 national laboratories, including Fermilab as the central network for the project. 2020年，美国能源部利用其17个国家实验室制定了一份国家量子网络蓝图，其中费米实验室作为该项目的中央网络。 Scientists and researchers say it represents one of the most important technological frontiers of the 21st century and hope to implement it in the next decade. 科学家和研究人员表示，这代表了21世纪最重要的技术前沿之一，并希望能在未来十年将其落地应用。 There has been a lot of investment worldwide and in the US, for I want to say 30, maybe 40 years, it is well funded and explored, and there's both industry and academia and government that has invested. 全球范围内以及美国都有大量投资，我想说大约有30年，甚至可能40年，资金充足且研究深入，产业界、学术界和政府都进行了投资。 But experts say today's technology which only teleports information is still a long way off from realizing the dreams made popular by Star Trek. 但专家表示，如今只能传送信息的技术，距离实现《星际迷航》所普及的梦想仍有很长的路要走。 It doesn't mean that we can beam up Scotty or anybody else or a cat or anything else. 这并不意味着我们可以把斯科特或者任何其他人、或者一只猫、或者其他任何东西传送上去。 We cannot move matter right now, and if we ever manage to do it, it's going to be with a different process. 我们现在还无法移动物质，而如果我们有朝一日能够做到，也得通过一种截然不同的方法。 A process that unlike quantum teleportation still only exists in the realm of science fiction. 这一过程与量子隐形传态不同，目前仍只存在于科幻小说的范畴中。

第3180期:Invisible touchscreen
What if you could control your car, turn on your oven, or sign your name by touching an invisible screen? 要是你能通过触摸一块看不见的屏幕操控汽车、打开烤箱、或是签名，会怎么样？ Ultraleap, a British and California firm, uses ultrasound waves to create the sensation of touch mid-air. A camera tracks hand motions. 英国与美国加州合资的公司Ultraleap利用超声波在空中制造触感。摄像头追踪手部动作。 You can keep your eyes on the road. You can feel the button go click. 你可以让眼睛一直盯着路面。你可以感觉到按钮发出咔嗒一声。 Ultraleap works with museums, car manufacturers, and other industries to create invisible screens in mid-air, and with augmented reality headsets to bring more information to people's experiences. Ultraleap与博物馆、汽车制造商及其他行业合作，在空中打造隐形屏幕，并借助增强现实头显丰富人们的体验感受。 With the pandemic, Ultraleap turned its technology toward touch screens in restaurants and stores, touch screens that some people no longer want to touch. 疫情期间，Ultraleap公司将其技术转向了餐厅和商店中的触摸屏，因为有些人不再愿意触碰这类传统的触摸屏。 People are becoming so much more conscious of what they're touching, particularly in an out of home environment, where they don't have so much control over what they're touching, and what may have touched it before. 人们对自己触摸到的东西越来越在意，尤其是在户外环境中，因为他们对自己触摸的对象以及此前可能接触过它的事物，并没有太多掌控力。 The technology may take a little getting used to. In a car to control music, temperature or the map, there are two gestures to learn. 这项技术可能需要一点时间来适应。在车内控制音乐、温度或地图，有两个手势需要学习。 One is a pinch gesture which is used for selection, and then the other one is what we call the drop the mic gesture, where you just release your hand like that. 一种是用于选择的捏合手势，另一种是我们所说的“扔麦”手势，你只需像那样松开手。 The driver can feel vibrations with the gesture as if you are physically touching something. 司机可以通过手势感受到振动，仿佛真的触碰到了什么东西。 You're feeling little pulses at each increment of the setting. It's a new way of interacting with machines touch free and in the air. 你会在设置的每一次档位变化时感受到轻微的脉冲震动。这是一种无需接触、在空中就能与机器互动的全新方式。

第3179期:The US commemorates the 35th anniversary
January 28th, 1986, before a television audience, seven passengers aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger took flight from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 1986年1月28日，在电视观众面前，挑战者号航天飞机上的七名乘客从佛罗里达州的肯尼迪航天中心起飞。 Among them was Christa McAuliffe, who was selected in a nationwide search for a teacher to be NASA's first citizen passenger in space. 其中一位是克里斯塔·麦考利芙，她是在全国范围内选拔出来的教师，将成为NASA首位进入太空的普通公民乘客。 I don't think any teacher has ever been more ready to have two lessons in my life. 我认为在我的教学生涯中，从来没有哪位老师像我这样准备好上两节课。 I've been preparing these in September, and I just hope everybody tunes in on day 4 now to watch the teacher teaching from space. 我一直在九月份准备这些内容，现在只希望大家都能在第四天收看老师从太空授课。 Just 73 seconds after takeoff disaster after a rubber seal in one of the shuttle's twin booster rockets failed, triggering an explosion that doomed all on board. 起飞后仅73秒，灾难降临——航天飞机的两枚助推火箭之一的橡胶密封圈失效，引发爆炸，致使机上所有人员全部遇难。 Then president Ronald Reagan eulogized the crew and called them heroes. 随后，罗纳德·里根总统悼念了机组人员，并称他们为英雄。 And while the flight exposed failures in NASA management who ignored safety warnings from scientists, it's widely regarded as planting the seed for shuttle development in today's commercial space flights. 尽管这次飞行暴露了NASA管理层忽视科学家安全警告的失误，但人们普遍认为，它为当今商业太空飞行中的航天飞机发展播下了种子。 Companies like SpaceX have even flown missions to the International Space Station, where on Wednesday astronauts Michael Hopkins and Victor Glover spacewalk to finish installing a European science platform and complete long-term battery upgrades. 像SpaceX这样的公司甚至已经执行了前往国际空间站的任务，周三，宇航员迈克尔·霍普金斯和维克多·格洛弗在那里进行太空行走，以完成欧洲科学平台的安装，并完成长期电池升级任务。 The advancements can further research on Earth observation, robotics, material science and astrophysics. This according to a tweet from the space station's twitter account. 这些进展可进一步推动地球观测、机器人技术、材料科学和天体物理学领域的研究。这一消息来自空间站推特账号发布的一条推文。 Back on Earth, climatologists sounded yet another alarm this week. An estimated 28 trillion metric tons of ice have melted from icesheetsand glaciers since the mid 1990s. 回到地球，气候学家本周再次发出警报。自20世纪90年代中期以来，冰盖和冰川估计已有28万亿公吨的冰融化。 That's 57 percent faster than it was three decades ago, per report scientists published Monday in the journal The Cryosphere. 根据科学家们周一在The Cryosphere期刊上发表的报告，这比三十年前快了57%。 In that time, global sea levels have risen three and a half centimeters, while the global temperature has gone up by one degree Celsius. 在此期间，全球海平面上升了3.5厘米，而全球气温上升了一摄氏度。 Finally this week, abutcherin Scotland sent a bag of haggis into the atmosphere. 苏格兰的一位屠夫将一袋哈吉斯送入了大气层。 Simon Howie's bag of organ meats climbed more than 32 kilometers before falling back to the ground. 西蒙·豪伊的那袋动物内脏上升了超过32公里，然后才落回地面。 He claims it was the first haggis to reach such heights and says he hopes it inspires children's interest in space. 他声称这是第一份到达如此高度的哈吉斯，并表示他希望这能激发孩子们对太空的兴趣。

第3178期:Developing El Niño becomes strongest on record week
Scientists say the developing El Niño is already the strongest ever recorded, with sea temperatures in a key region of the Pacific more than three degrees above average, and this event is not expected to peak until later this year. 科学家表示，目前正在形成的厄尔尼诺现象已达到有记录以来最强水平，太平洋一个关键海域的海水温度比平均水平高出三度以上，而此次厄尔尼诺预计要到今年晚些时候才会达到峰值。 El Niño is a natural climate phenomenon that occurs when unusually warm water develops across the tropical Pacific, disrupting weather patterns around the world. 厄尔尼诺是一种自然气候现象，当热带太平洋出现大范围异常偏暖的海水时便会发生，扰乱全球各地的天气模式。 The Met Office says its impacts are already being felt, with wildfires in Indonesia and low water levels in the Panama Canal restricting international shipping. As it develops, it's expected to bring droughts and wildfires to parts of Australia, South America and southern Africa, while coastal Peru and Ecuador face the threat of torrential rain and flooding. 英国气象局表示，厄尔尼诺现象的影响已开始显现：印度尼西亚发生野火，巴拿马运河水位偏低，使国际航运受到限制。随着厄尔尼诺的进一步发展，预计澳大利亚、南美洲和南部非洲的部分地区将遭遇干旱和野火。与此同时，秘鲁和厄瓜多尔沿海地区面临暴雨和洪水的威胁。

第3177期:Return of the sleeper train in Europe
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 nice atmosphere on the train," says Julia Senninger, a fan of sleeper trains. 太阳已经落山，您带着过夜行李前往斯德哥尔摩的火车站。登上卧铺列车，换上舒适的衣服，欣赏一下窗外的风景，然后就低头休息。共用客舱内其他乘客的鼾声会延迟您的就寝时间，但轻柔的动作和白噪音最终会让您入睡。第二天早上，12 个多小时后，您在德国第二大城市汉堡醒来。 “听起来还是很长一段时间，但你很快就睡着了，火车上的气氛真好，”卧铺火车的粉丝朱莉娅·森宁格 (Julia Senninger) 说道。 Before budget airlines made flights across Europe so quick and cheap, sleeper trains were a popular way to cover large distances without wasting daylight or paying for a place to stay. After a period of decline, sleeper trains in Europe are making a comeback.Belgian-Dutch company European Sleeper launched the Brussels to Milan route in September 2026 and has announced a new route connecting Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden, scheduled to open in 2028. Other train companies Trenitalia and Nightjet have also announced plans for new international routes. Companies are rushing to meet high demand. 在廉价航空公司提供如此快捷、便宜的穿越欧洲的航班之前，卧铺火车是一种流行的长途旅行方式，无需浪费日光或支付住宿费用。经过一段时间的衰退后，欧洲的卧铺列车正在卷土重来。比利时-荷兰公司European Sleeper于2026年9月推出了布鲁塞尔至米兰的航线，并宣布了一条连接比利时、荷兰和瑞典的新航线，计划于2028年开通。其他火车公司Trenitalia和Nightjet也宣布了新的国际航线的计划。公司正在争先恐后地满足高需求。 The rise in popularity is partly due to changing attitudes and increased awareness surrounding climate change. The carbon footprint of an electric-powered train is just a fraction of a flight. But there's more to it. Sleeper train fan Julia Senninger says trains are simply more fun. You meet more people and can have interesting conversations. Cat Jones, founder of the flight-free travel agency Byway, says, "The point of travel is the experience rather than just the arrival." So, people are buying into the idea that the journey to your destination is also part of the trip. Besides the convenience of starting and ending your journey in a city centre, there's also a sense of romance and adventure when you imagine whizzing through unknown landscapes and foreign villages while you sleep. 受欢迎程度的上升部分归因于人们对气候变化的态度的改变和意识的增强。电动火车的碳足迹只是飞行的一小部分。但还有更多。卧铺火车迷朱莉娅·森宁格 (Julia Senninger) 表示，火车更有趣。你会认识更多的人，并可以进行有趣的对话。不搭乘航班的旅行社 Byway 的创始人卡特·琼斯 (Cat Jones) 表示：“旅行的重点在于体验，而不仅仅是抵达。” 因此，人们相信到达目的地的旅程也是旅行的一部分。除了在市中心方便地开始和结束旅程之外，当您想象在睡觉时飞驰穿过未知的风景和外国村庄时，还会有一种浪漫和冒险的感觉。 In Europe, the sleeper train comeback does not come without challenges. Competing with budget airlines, some sleeper train routes have disappeared, even while new ones have launched. Problems with infrastructure, cost and availability mean that the high demand for a more sustainable travel option is not currently being met. 在欧洲，卧铺列车的卷土重来并非没有挑战。与廉价航空公司竞争，一些卧铺火车线路已经消失，尽管新线路已经开通。基础设施、成本和可用性方面的问题意味着对更可持续的旅行选择的高需求目前尚未得到满足。

第3176期:US and Canada Join Forces to Combat Drug Smuggling
Protesters continue to gather outside the U.S. Agency for International Development on Monday after Elon Musk and President Trump made moves to dismantle the agency charged with delivering humanitarian assistance overseas. 周一，在埃隆·马斯克和特朗普总统采取行动解散负责向海外提供人道主义援助的美国国际开发署后，抗议者继续聚集在美国国际开发署外。 AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports. William Whelan, a retired USAID employee, says that he worked for the agency to help starving people worldwide. 美联社记者哈亚·潘杰瓦尼（Haya Panjwani）报道。美国国际开发署退休员工威廉·惠兰（William Whelan）表示，他为该机构工作是为了帮助全世界的饥饿人民。 "This program helped people not only who faced starvation, but it helped Americans. So I find it hard to believe that Americans wouldn't understand the mutual benefit." “这个项目不仅帮助了面临饥饿的人们，也帮助了美国人。所以我很难相信美国人不会理解这种互惠互利。” A federal judge dealt Trump and Musk their first big setback in their dismantling of the agency, ordering a temporary halt on plans to pull thousands of agency staffers off the job. Haya Panjwani, Washington. 一名联邦法官给特朗普和马斯克在解散该机构的过程中带来了第一个重大挫折，下令暂时停止将数千名机构工作人员从工作岗位上撤下的计划。记者哈亚·潘杰瓦尼在华盛顿报道。 A U.S. district judge found Monday that the Trump administration hasn't fully followed his order to unfreeze federal spending and told the White House to release billions of dollars in funding. AP correspondent Sagar Meghani reports. 一名美国地区法官周一裁定，特朗普政府没有完全遵守他的命令解冻联邦支出，并要求白宫释放数十亿美元的资金。美联社记者萨加尔·梅加尼（Sagar Meghani）报道。 The judge says the White House has violated his order from late last month, noting continued struggles to get federal money for things like early childhood education and HIV research. 法官表示，白宫违反了他上个月底的命令，指出联邦政府继续努力争取资金用于早期儿童教育和艾滋病研究等项目。 He says a broad, categorical and sweeping federal funding freeze is likely unconstitutional and is ordering the administration to release all the money in a suit filed by nearly two dozen states, including Maryland. 他说，广泛彻底的联邦资金冻结可能违宪，并命令特朗普政府在包括马里兰州在内的近二十个州提起的诉讼中释放所有资金。 "Thank goodness for the courts," where Senator Chris Van Hollen says a flurry of illegal Trump actions has drawn a flurry of legal challenges. “感谢法院”，参议员克里斯·范·霍伦表示，特朗普的一系列非法行为引发了一系列法律挑战。 "I've never seen so many temporary restraining orders issued in such a short period of time against the U.S. government." Sagar Meghani, at the White House. “我从未见过在如此短的时间内针对美国政府发布如此多的临时限制令。”记者萨加尔·梅加尼在白宫报道。 President Trump on Monday said he has ordered the treasury secretary to cease production of the one cent coin known as the penny. Reuters correspondent Jillian Kitchener reports. 特朗普总统周一表示，他已下令财政部长停止生产一美分硬币，。路透社记者吉莉安·基钦纳(Jillian Kitchener)报道。 After more than 200 years in circulation, the U.S. penny, the smallest denomination of American currency, may have run out of luck. 在流通了200多年之后，美国货币中最小面额的一美分硬币可能已经没用了。 In a Truth Social post, President Trump said the one cent coin is not worth the metal it's printed on, 在一篇真相社交帖子中，特朗普总统表示，一美分硬币不值它所印的金属价值， saying pennies actually cost more than two cents to make and that he instructed his treasury secretary to stop producing new ones. 他说一美分硬币的制造成本实际上超过两美分，他指示财政部长停止生产新的一美分硬币。 Supporters of the penny have argued that it helps keep consumer prices lower and is a source of income to charities. 一美分硬币的支持者认为，它有助于降低消费价格，是慈善机构的收入来源。 Others say the one cent coin is a nuisance that ends up being discarded.

Trump's ultimatum to Hamas received a mixed reaction from Israelis for whom the release of the hostages remains top priority. VOA's Jeff Caster reports. 特朗普向哈马斯发出的最后通牒在以色列人中引起了褒贬不一的反应，以色列人认为释放人质仍然是当务之急。美国之音记者杰夫·卡斯特（Jeff Caster）报道。 Hamas's spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said Tuesday Trump needs to remember there is an agreement which must be respected by both parties. 哈马斯发言人萨米·阿布·祖赫里周二表示，特朗普需要记住双方必须尊重一项协议。 Jerusalem resident Hagit Herman told the Reuters news agency she thought Trump's intentions may have been good, but the message was wrong. 耶路撒冷居民哈吉特·赫尔曼（Hagit Herman）告诉路透社，她认为特朗普的意图可能是好的，但传递的信息是错误的。 "I think Trump has good meanings, but I think now he's not on it. I think he must go in another way. “我认为特朗普的意图是好的，但现在他已经不同意了。我认为他必须换一种方式。 I think the most important thing is to get back our people to Israel and not push it and not threaten the Hamas because that's not the way." 我认为最重要的是让我们的人民回到以色列，不要强迫他们，不要威胁哈马斯，因为这不是办法。” Trump did say that Israel might want to override him regarding his suggestion the cease-fire be cancelled and said he might speak to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the issue. Jeff Caster, VOA News. 特朗普确实表示，以色列可能想推翻他取消停火的建议，并表示他可能会就此问题与以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡交谈。美国之音新闻记者杰夫·卡斯特报道。 Canada has named a former deputy commissioner with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as the country's new fentanyl czar. 加拿大任命了一位前加拿大皇家骑警副局长，担任该国新的芬太尼沙皇。 Officials hope to show the U.S. it is working to prevent production and distribution of the synthetic opioid. 官员们希望向美国表明，他们正在努力防止这种合成阿片类药物的产销。 Kevin Brosseau has served as an RCMP deputy commissioner and the senior Mountie in the province of Manitoba. More recently, he was deputy national security and intelligence adviser to the prime minister.

第3173期:Is social media still 'social'?
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 are negatively impacting the way we interact with people, and are they taking time away from us actually being social? 对于许多人来说，社交媒体是日常生活的正常组成部分。它用于保持联系、娱乐和关注世界上发生的事情。但 DataReportal 的数据显示，社交媒体的平均使用时间每天约为 2 小时 21 分钟。这相当于每周近 15 小时或每年约 32 天！同一份报告还提到，人们使用社交媒体的方式更加被动。这意味着他们花费大量时间滚动浏览动态、发送模因以及使用表情符号对事物做出反应，而不是发送消息。社交媒体平台是否会对我们与人互动的方式产生负面影响，并且它们是否会占用我们实际社交的时间？ One study looked at what happened when social media was deliberately limited. In The effect of self-monitoring limited social media use on psychological well-being, researchers in the United States studied 230 university students. One group was asked to limit social media use to 30 minutes a day, while the other continued without a limit. After two weeks, the group limiting its use reported lower levels of loneliness, depression, anxiety and FOMO. 一项研究着眼于故意限制社交媒体时会发生什么。在《自我监控限制社交媒体使用对心理健康的影响》一书中，美国研究人员对 230 名大学生进行了研究。一组被要求将社交媒体的使用时间限制在每天 30 分钟，而另一组则继续无限制。两周后，限制其使用的小组报告称，孤独、抑郁、焦虑和 FOMO 水平较低。 Sleep is another part of the picture. For many people, scrolling through social media has become part of their bedtime routine when they should be winding down to rest. Research published by the National Library of Medicine has examined the effects of blue light from electronic screens. This light can affect the body's natural sleep-wake cycle and increase alertness. Reducing screen time before bed may therefore help some people prepare for sleep. Better sleep can also provide more energy for work, hobbies and lay the groundwork for more successful and fulfilling face-to-face social interactions. 睡眠是问题的另一部分。对于许多人来说，浏览社交媒体已经成为他们睡前例行公事的一部分，而此时他们应该放松下来休息。国家医学图书馆发表的研究检查了电子屏幕蓝光的影响。这种光可以影响身体的自然睡眠-觉醒周期并提高警觉性。因此，减少睡前看屏幕的时间可能有助于一些人为睡眠做好准备。更好的睡眠还可以为工作和爱好提供更多能量，并为更成功、更充实的面对面社交互动奠定基础。 These findings do not necessarily mean that you have to completely quit social media. Instead, it may be worth considering how much time is being spent online, and what that time could be used for instead. Small changes might include moving the social media app away from the home screen, using social media only at certain times, or accessing it through a computer rather than the phone you probably have with you all the time. The idea is not to disconnect from the online world completely, but to create a better balance between online and offline life. Reducing the use of social media could free up time to take part in more rewarding hobbies and encourage you to connect with people in real life rather than through a screen. 这些发现并不一定意味着您必须完全退出社交媒体。相反，可能值得考虑的是在网上花费了多少时间，以及这些时间可以用来做什么。小的改变可能包括将社交媒体应用程序从主屏幕移开，仅在特定时间使用社交媒体，或者通过计算机而不是您可能一直随身携带的手机访问它。这个想法并不是要完全脱离网络世界，而是要在线上和线下生活之间创造更好的平衡。减少社交媒体的使用可以腾出时间来参与更有意义的爱好，并鼓励您与现实生活中的人而不是通过屏幕联系。

I'm Donna Warder. 白宫表示，这项提议是一个绝佳的机会，而泽连斯基没有签署，这是他目光短浅的表现。我是唐娜·沃德。 The Vatican says Pope Francis is in stable condition at a hospital being treated for a respiratory tract infection.

第3169期:Tulsa Remote
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 thought, like, that's super interesting. 在我进行这项研究时，一篇关于塔尔萨远程搬家计划的文章出现在我的新闻推送中，我想这真是太有趣了。 Ten thousand dollars to move somewhere. But then I was also, had to, like, take a step back and go "Where is Tulsa, Oklahoma?" 一万美元就能搬到别的地方。但随后我也得退一步想：“俄克拉何马州塔尔萨市到底在哪儿？” Tulsa Remote is an innovative program which seeks to bring remote workers from across the country with various diverse skill sets in order for them to have an opportunity to join our community. 塔尔萨远程搬家计划是一项创新项目，旨在吸引来自全国各地、拥有各类不同技能的远程工作者，让他们有机会加入我们的社区。 The program was created as it's truly an additive talent program which brings people with jobs to Tulsa in order to see a better life for themselves and their families. 该项目之所以被创立，是因为它确实是一个增益型人才项目，旨在吸引有工作的人来到塔尔萨，以便为自己和家人创造更好的生活。 I made this list and I said, you know "What do I need? Do I need 700 restaurants? No, I probably need, like, three restaurants. 我列了一个清单：“我需要什么？我真的需要住在一个有700家餐厅的城市里吗？不，我大概只需要三家餐厅。 Do I need all of these bars? No, but I do want some culture. I do want a sense of community. 我需要大城市的灯红酒绿吗？不，但我确实想要一些文化氛围。我需要一种社区的温馨感。 I would like, you know, a reasonable cost of living, the ability to buy a house." 我想要合理的生活成本，能买得起房子。” I never anticipated even when I was flying out here, that it was something that I was seriously considering. 在坐飞机的途中我甚至都没想到我会真的来这里发展。 I was, kind of, like, "This is interesting. I'm going to go with an open mind. I'm going to see what this is about. But probably, like, this is probably not going to happen." 我当时想：“这挺有意思的，我会抱着开放的心态去试试，看看这里有什么机会，也可能跟我想的完全不一样。” And by the end of three days, I was sitting there with another participant that had come to visit and we looked at each other, we said, he was from New York and we said, "Are we doing this? Are we actually going to move to Tulsa, Oklahoma?" 三天结束时，我和另一个搬来这里的人坐在一起，我们面面相觑，他是纽约人，然后问我：“我们真的要搬到俄克拉荷马州的塔尔萨去吗？” Over half of our applications come from California and New York. And those folks are looking for a higher quality of life. They're looking for more space. 我们超过一半的申请来自加利福尼亚州和纽约州。他们都在追寻更高的生活质量。他们想要更宽敞的空间。 They're looking for the ability to purchase a home. They're looking for the opportunity to engage more deeply with the community. 他们在寻求购房的能力，也在寻求与社区更紧密的关系。 They're looking for that presence where they know people by their first names. And that's something that Tulsa can provide. 他们想要那种能直呼人名的亲切感。这些都是塔尔萨可以提供的。 I rolled into town and I immediately had 50 plus connections. I can't imagine, like, trying to make that solo move to a new town as a remote worker. 我刚到镇上，立刻就加了50多个好友。我没法想象，作为一个外地工作者只身一人搬进新城市。 And how do you even start making those connections, right? I mean, we had instant community built-in already for us. 你究竟该如何开始建立起人际关系呢？我们本来就已经有了现成的即时社群。 They helped us, you know, even with simple things. "I don't know how to change my driver's license." You know, like, people from the program would help us with this. 他们可以事无巨细提供帮助。“我不知道怎么换驾照。”这个项目里的人会帮我们处理这种事。 The ten-thousand-dollar headline number for Tulsa Remote grabs attention. 搬来即送一万美元的口号确实吸引了很多关注。 However, the disbursement of the checks really just de-risks the proposition of moving to Tulsa. 但是这笔钱实际上只是降低了迁往塔尔萨这一提议的风险。 We found that people come for many different reasons. Cost of living, quality of life, ease, lack of pollution, all kinds of reasons. 我们发现人们来这里有很多不同的原因：生活成本，生活质量，便捷程度，污染少。 I felt so at home that I have now purchased a home here because it is affordable. 我觉得很自在，所以现在已经在这里买了房子，因为这里房价实惠。 I purchased a home. I got a boyfriend. I mean, I feel like I'm the Tulsa Remote success story. 我买了一套房子，交了一个男朋友。我觉得自己就是塔尔萨远程搬家计划的成功案例

第3168期:Black magician
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. 你想到的是不可能发生的事，但你正在把不可能变成可能，你也在创造奇迹。 So, when you think about magic, you have to think about creativity and most importantly, making the impossible possible. 当你谈到魔术的时候，你会想到创造力，最重要的是，把不可能变成可能。 What is real? So, I got started in magic, not when I was young like most people. 什么是真实的？跟大多数魔术师不同，我不是很小就开始学魔术的。 I got started in magic when I was in graduate school at Penn State studying health education research. 我是在宾州州立大学研究生院学习健康教育研究期间开始学习魔术的。 It was just a hobby for me, something to do to just to pass the time, card tricks. 扑克牌魔术对我来说只是个爱好，是用来打发时间的消遣罢了。 Me and a group of friends, we used to get together and do card tricks. 我和一群朋友经常聚在一起玩扑克牌魔术。 So, I just took a leap of faith and I just said I'm going to give myself one year. 我就鼓起勇气放手一试，给自己一年的时间。 If it doesn't work out in one year, I'll just go back to school, get a job and just continue on with life. 如果一年后还没成功，我就回学校，找个班上，继续过日子。 Well, one year ended up being 16 years and I haven't looked back yet. So, that's when I decided I want to do magic full time. 一年最终变成了16年，而我至今没有回头过。就是在那个时候，我决定要全职从事魔术表演。 I believe that every artist should use their platform to talk about greater issues beyond their art. 我认为艺术家应该在舞台上探讨超越其艺术本身的更宏大的议题。 So, there's some elements in my show that are subtle and then some that are not subtle, that I speak about those issues and I let people into my world and what I think about it. 我的节目里有些元素是含蓄的，有些则不那么含蓄，我会谈论那些问题，让观众走进我的世界，了解我的想法。 For example, I was performing in Iowa one time. It was at a college campus but it was two hours outside, two-and-a-half hours outside of Des Moines, Iowa. 例如，有一次我在爱荷华州演出。演出地点在一个大学校园里，但距离爱荷华州得梅因市有两个半小时的路程。 I get there. I set up. I'm behind the curtain. I peek out. 500 people here. 我到了之后，站在幕帘后面偷偷往外瞥，观众居然有500人。 I was like, "Oh my gosh. Okay, I know exactly what I'm going to say." As soon as the emcee announced me, I walked on stage. 我当时心想：“天呐，我完全知道我要说什么了。”主持人一报出我的名字，我就走上了舞台。 The first words out of my mouth is, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to the show. When I got off the plane this morning, the Black population increased by 100 percent." 我开口说的第一句话是：“女士们，先生们，谢谢各位今天的捧场。今天早上我下飞机时，美国的黑人人口又翻了一番。” Now, it came off as a joke but as they say, there's truth in comedy. That's proof that some stereotypes are true. 现在，这听起来像是个玩笑，但正如人们所说，喜剧中蕴含着真理。这证明了有些刻板印象是真实的。 And it resonated with everyone because they realized, wow, this is not a diverse town. 这引起了所有人的共鸣，因为他们意识到，这不是一个多元化的城镇。 Wow, I've never seen a Black magician before, but we've always been out there. 我以前从没见过黑人魔术师，但是黑人魔术师一直都有。 As a matter of fact, one part of my show, I'll talk about the very first American-born magician by the name of Richard Potter. 事实上，作为演出的一部分，我都会介绍美国的第一位魔术师，理查德·波特。 So, prior to Houdini, prior to Doug Henning, prior to David Copperfield, prior to David Blaine, the very first magician on American soil was a Black man. 在胡迪尼之前，在道格·亨宁之前，在大卫·科波菲尔之前，在大卫·布莱恩之前，美国本土的第一位魔术师是一位黑人。 And that's something to be proud about because people like Richard Potter, Henry Box Brown, Hiawatha Johnson Jr., these are all African American magicians. If I could see it, I could be it. 这是值得骄傲的事情，因为理查德·波特、亨利·博克斯·布朗、小海华沙·约翰逊都是非裔美国魔术师。如果我可以看到他们的成就，我也可以成为他们。

第3167期:Let growth go beyond skin color
We were at the Union at the university. That's basically a place where people come and relax and you check your emails and your class schedules. 我们是在大学学生会认识的。那基本上是个大家来放松的地方，还能查收邮件，查看课程表。 And I just happened to see this head of curly hair and I had to get closer to her. 我突然看到了一名卷发靓女，就想走近去看看。 And the closer I got, the better she looked. And I had to introduce myself. So, here we are 20 years later. 离得越近，她看起来就越美。我就开始介绍我自己。到现在我们在一起已经20年了。 I have three kiddos. Isaac is our oldest. Ian is our middle child. Isabella is our youngest. 我们有三个孩子，艾萨克是老大，伊恩是老二，伊莎贝拉是最小的。 She's seven-and-a-half. We homeschool them. We have for the last five-and-a-half years. 伊莎贝拉现在七岁半。我们在家教育他们。过去五年半我们一直如此。 Our children, they do have the best of both worlds in having a Black father and a white mother. In life, they don't have to think about choosing a side. 我们的孩子有黑人父亲和白人母亲，确实能从两种文化中受益良多。在生活中，他们不必考虑要站在哪一边。 I'm originally from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines which is in the eastern Caribbean. 我来自加勒比海东部的圣文森特和格林纳丁斯。 I was evacuated due to a volcano in 1979. I was seven years old at that time, came to United States, lived in New York City for a few years. 我在1979年因火山爆发而被疏散。那时我七岁，来到美国，在纽约市住了几年。 And I also was in the military myself. The only questions that the kids have asked us about race is, "Dad, why is your skin darker than Mom's?" 我也曾在军队服役。孩子们问过的唯一关于种族的问题是：“爸爸，为什么你的皮肤比妈妈的深？” And, so, I went ahead and took a DNA test and I explained all that to them. Daddy is 50 percent Nigerian. Daddy is 25 percent from Sierra Leone. 然后我就会拿出DNA检测报告，跟他们一一解释。我说，爸爸有50%的尼日利亚血统，25%的塞拉利昂血统。 Daddy is 11 percent Scottish. Daddy has four percent Native American. Daddy has three percent Asian. So, I break it down for them. 11%的苏格兰血统， 4%的印第安人血统，还有3%的亚洲血统。我会跟他们慢慢解释。 As far as what we're teaching them, it's what's appropriate for their age. 至于我们教给他们的内容，都是适合他们年龄的。 We don't put them in that environment where they can be harmed or anyone can share their negativity with them. So, we protect our children. 我们不会把他们置于可能会受到伤害或者被传递负面情绪的环境中。我们会保护我们的孩子。 They're still trying to learn how to do their multiplication tables, you know. So, the issue of slavery and systemic racism, you know, that's not at their level at this point. 他们还在努力学习乘法表。关于奴隶制和结构性种族歧视的问题，前还不在他们的认知层面上。 But we're not clueless that it's there. And in due time, as those discussions come into play, he's like you're old enough, you're mature enough, it's time for you to learn this. 但我们并非对它一无所知。到了适当的时候，随着那些讨论逐步展开，他就会说，你年纪够大了，也足够成熟了，是时候让你了解这件事了。 And it may come up because our child has a question, or it may come up because of something they're exposed to. 可能那时候，他们自己会遇到这些问题，或者可能暴露在那样的环境当中。 Couple months ago, there was protests right here in our neighborhood. 几个月前，我们社区这里就发生过抗议活动。 They chose South Lincoln neighborhoods, where we live, because they felt that they needed to expose South Lincoln. 他们选择了我们居住的南林肯社区，因为他们觉得有必要揭露南林肯的情况。 So, the kids got to see that first-hand right here at the end of our street and what that looked like and it was a peaceful protest. 孩子们在街道尽头亲眼看到了这一切，看到这些游行是怎么一回事，那是一场和平抗议。 But then when they see something on the news that's violent and people are literally hurting each other and causing vandalism, that's not a peaceful protest. That's literally riots. 可后来当他们在新闻上看到暴力示威，人们互相伤害，损害公物，那就不是和平抗议了，这完全是暴动。 And so, I've talked to them about knowing that we live in Nebraska and in some regards their exposure looks very, very different than if we lived on the East or the West Coast. 我已经和他们谈过，要知道我们住在内布拉斯加州，他们接触到的东西和东海岸或西海岸的情况可能完全不一样。

第3166期:Why we like collecting things
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. In this way, collectables can be both decorative and functional, giving us something nostalgic to look at or fiddle with when bored. 人们收集各种各样的东西。我收集冰箱贴，所以我的冰箱慢慢地变成了一张彩色地图，上面写着我去过的任何地方。当我们夏天去海岸时，我也有和妈妈一起从海滩收集岩石和贝壳的美好回忆。确实，有些人收集化石和有趣的石头等自然物品，而另一些人则将旅行中的纪念品带回家。还有人收集真实商业产品的微型版本和熟悉物品的微型复制品，例如缩小版复古玩具、经典棋盘游戏和动作玩偶。这样，收藏品就可以兼具装饰性和功能性，让我们在无聊时可以看看或摆弄一些怀旧的东西。 But why do people have such a strong desire to collect things? One explanation is that collecting gives us a sense of order and achievement. Happiful, a mental health and wellbeing magazine, wrote that adding to a collection creates a sense of progress and accomplishment. According to an article published in the Journal of Consumer Research, titled Seeking Structure in Collections: Desire for Control Motivates Engagement in Collecting, collecting can help people feel more in control. It explains that collections can become an extension of our identity. The things we collect reflect our hobbies, interests and loyalties. 但为什么人们有如此强烈的收藏欲望呢？一种解释是，收藏给我们一种秩序感和成就感。《幸福》是一本心理健康和幸福杂志，它写道，添加收藏可以带来进步和成就感。根据发表在《消费者研究杂志》上的一篇题为《寻求收藏中的结构：控制欲激发人们参与收藏》的文章，收藏可以帮助人们感觉更有控制力。它解释了收藏可以成为我们身份的延伸。我们收集的东西反映了我们的爱好、兴趣和忠诚度。 However, not everyone believes collecting is beneficial. Advocates of minimalism argue that owning fewer possessions improves wellbeing. As Beverley D'Silva reported for the BBC, the simplicity associated with a minimalist lifestyle may even contribute to greater happiness. From this perspective, filling our homes with collections can seem more like unnecessarily hoarding clutter. There is also an important distinction between thoughtfully curating your collection and simply accumulating more possessions. The Journal of Consumer Research article warns that some collectors can be drawn into excessive spending, especially when companies release new or rare additions to collections that were once considered complete. In those cases, collecting may be driven less by passion and more by pressure. 然而，并非所有人都认为收集是有益的。极简主义的倡导者认为，拥有更少的财产可以改善幸福感。正如 Beverley D'Silva 为 BBC 报道的那样，与极简主义生活方式相关的简单甚至可能有助于增加幸福感。从这个角度来看，在我们的家里堆满收藏品似乎更像是不必要地囤积杂物。精心策划你的收藏和简单地积累更多财产之间也有一个重要的区别。《消费者研究杂志》的文章警告说，一些收藏家可能会陷入过度消费，特别是当公司为曾经被认为完整的收藏品推出新的或罕见的补充品时。在这些情况下，收藏可能更多地受到压力而非激情的驱动。 Despite this, collecting remains as popular as ever. Perhaps the reason collecting endures is simple – collections tell stories. And displaying these collections can be just as satisfying as finding them. Happiful describes collections as a kind of self-portrait, reflecting our interests, personality and memories. Whether it's fridge magnets, shells or action figures, the real value often lies not in the objects themselves, but in the memories and meanings attached to them. 尽管如此，收藏仍然一如既往地流行。也许收藏经久不衰的原因很简单——藏品讲述故事。展示这些藏品就像找到它们一样令人满意。 Happiful 将收藏描述为一种自画像，反映我们的兴趣、个性和记忆。无论是冰箱贴、贝壳还是人偶，真正的价值往往不在于物体本身，而在于它们所附加的记忆和意义。

第3165期:Part-human part-mouse brain developed in science breakthrough
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. 通过基因工程手段，研究人员让这些小鼠几乎不发育自身的大脑皮层。大脑皮层就是大脑的外层，有时也被称为 “灰质”，负责高级思维活动、记忆和感觉处理。随后，研究人员用取自人类的皮肤细胞，将其重新编程，培育成名为 “类器官” 的类脑组织。类器官由相互连接的活体脑细胞组成。这些类器官被植入小鼠后，与大脑的其它区域和脊髓建立了连接，并发挥与脑组织相似的功能。 Having working human brain cells inside a living animal, the scientists say, gives them a new way to understand the biological causes and develop treatments for brain disorders, including dementia, epilepsy and cerebral palsy. The study raises questions about what it means to change the brain of an animal and exactly how theselaboratorymice will experience the world. So, there'll be ongoing discussions weighing the scientific value of these mice against these ethical challenges. 科学家表示，在活体动物的大脑中植入能正常发挥功能的人类脑细胞，为他们理解脑部疾病的生物学成因、开发新疗法提供了新途径，这些疾病包括痴呆、癫痫和脑瘫。该研究也引发了一些质疑，例如改变动物的大脑意味着什么，以及这些实验小鼠究竟会如何感知和体验世界。因此，如何权衡这些小鼠的科学价值与伴随而来的伦理挑战，相关讨论还将持续下去。

第3164期:Slum church
For 14 years, we do it every Friday around this time. We come out and we feed people, right? 14年来，我们每周五差不多这个时候都会做这件事。我们出来给人们分发食物，对吧？ We feed them first the spiritual word of God, we call it and then, we give them physical food. 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 hardest hit place in Los Angeles, still praising God, still giving him the glory, still coming out on Friday nights. 在洛杉矶疫情最严重的地方，人们仍在赞美上帝，仍在颂扬他的荣耀，仍在周五晚上外出。 And what I've started to notice is happening is that more and more people are coming back every week. 我开始注意到，每周都有越来越多的人出来加入我们。 There are all kinds of people who come here. There are people who are housed. 来这里的人形形色色。有的人就住在这里。 There are about 9,000 people who are housed right here in Los Angeles. 洛杉矶大约有9000人都住在这里。 And what's in Skid Row, what's called Single Residency Occupancies, right there are little small apartments, kind of like the size of a jail cell, a small jail cell. 在贫民区里，所谓的单人居住单元是什么样的呢？那些公寓可能就跟监狱的单间一样小。 There's a lot of good people down here, but it's like the has-beens, the ex-gang members, the ex-pimps or prostitutes, ex-parolees, ex-probation or their family just forgot about them. 这里有很多好人，但是这里也是很多“过气人”的收容所，前帮派成员、前皮条客、前妓女、刑满释放人员、缓刑期满人员，或者是那些被家人遗忘的人。 So, they end up coming down here. It's something down here and it's kind of like Paul, when he said in the church, during the, excuse me, "you can stay down here or you can go to heaven". 他们最终来到了这里。这里有一些事情，有点像保罗在教堂里说的，“你可以留在这里，也可以去天堂”。 When you come to Skid Row, you have to put on your Ephesians 6:18, your whole armor of God. 当你来到贫民窟时，你得穿上以弗所书6:18所提到的上帝所赐的全副军装。 Because even when you don't want to do something, you see somebody doing something, so you end up wanting to do it. 因为即使你原本不想做某事，看到别人在做，你最终也会想做。 About 400,000 people are at risk of facing eviction due to COVID-19 and all our elected officials are doing are passing eviction moratoriums. 大约40万人因新冠疫情面临被驱逐的风险，而我们所有的民选官员都在努力暂停驱逐令。 Well, after the moratorium, somebody has to pay that rent, right? 暂停之后，总得有人付那笔租金，对吧？ And so, after the moratorium, all landlords are going to do is proceed with evictions, right, with the eviction process. 在暂停令结束之后，那些房东还是会继续驱逐弱势群体。 And so, we're asking them to cancel rent. It's small movements like this that will shift theparadigm. We can't focus on the hate. 我们要求他们免租。这样的小举动会改变现状。我们不能只关注仇恨。 We can't focus on what's going on in Washington D.C. We need to focus right here at home, individually with each person you meet and see. 我们不能只关注华盛顿特区发生的事情。我们需要把注意力放在国内，着眼于每一个遇到和看到的人。
