There's a vote recount going on right now in the U.

State of Georgia.

佐治亞州：

The first results from the November 3rd presidential elections showed Democratic candidate Joe Biden winning their over Republican incumbent Donald Trump.

11月3日總統選舉的第一批結果顯示，民主黨候選人喬-拜登（Joe Biden）戰勝了共和黨現任總統唐納德-特朗普（Donald Trump）。

But the Democrats lead was slim by less than 15,000 votes, So the state's going through them once again to make sure they're accurate.

但民主黨的領先優勢只有不到1萬5千票 所以州政府會再次檢查這些票數 以確保它們的準確性。

It's not just presidential votes that Aaron focus here.

亞倫在這裡關注的不僅僅是總統選票。

It's votes for the U.

這是投票給U。

Senate.

參議院：

The makeup of this chamber of Congress is highly important to president who gets confirmed to their cabinets, who gets confirmed to the Supreme Court how easy or difficult it is for presidents to accomplish their legislative goals.

國會這個議院的構成對總統來說非常重要，誰被確認進入他們的內閣，誰被確認進入最高法院，對總統來說完成他們的立法目標是多麼容易或困難。

All of this can hinge on the Senate.

這一切都可能取決於參議院。

Ah party needs a simple majority of 51 seats to control it.

啊黨需要51個席位的簡單多數來控制它。

Right now, Republicans have control with 53 seats, Democrats have 45 seats, and two independents who vote with the Democrats have two seats.

現在，共和黨擁有53個席位的控制權，民主黨擁有45個席位，與民主黨一起投票的兩名無黨派人士擁有兩個席位。

Results from this month's election indicate that in the next Congress, which is sworn in next year, Republicans will likely control at least 50 seats.

本月的選舉結果顯示，在明年宣誓就職的下一屆國會中，共和黨將可能控制至少50個席位。

Democrats will likely control at least 48 seats, I'm saying, at least because there are two seats that haven't been decided yet, and they're both in Georgia.

我說，民主黨將可能控制至少48個席位，至少因為有兩個席位還沒有決定，它們都在喬治亞州。

That state has a runoff election scheduled for January 5th because none of Georgia's Senate candidates won enough votes on November 3rd to capture a seat.

該州的第二輪選舉定於1月5日舉行，因為11月3日喬治亞州的參議員候選人都沒有贏得足夠的選票來奪取席位。

If a Republican candidate wins one or both of those races, that party will likely have control of the Senate for the next four years.

如果共和黨候選人贏得其中一場或兩場選舉，該黨將有可能在未來四年內控制參議院。

If the two Democratic candidates win both of those races, that party will likely have 50 seats in the Senate to match the likely 50 seats that Republicans have.

如果兩位民主黨候選人在這兩場選舉中獲勝，該黨在參議院的席位將可能達到50個，與共和黨可能擁有的50個席位相匹配。

But analysts say that would effectively give Democrats control of the Senate because the deciding vote in a 50 50 tie would go to the vice president and Democratic candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had been projected to win the presidency and vice presidency.

但分析人士表示，這實際上將使民主黨人控制參議院，因為50 50平的決定性投票將由副總統獲得，而民主黨候選人喬-拜登和卡馬拉-哈里斯曾被預測為贏得總統和副總統。

Now I keep using words like likely and projected because the results from the November 3rd election haven't been certified yet from now until the second week of December, states should settle their vote counts and certify the results.

現在我一直在用很可能和預計這樣的詞，因為11月3日選舉的結果還沒有認證，從現在開始到12月的第二週，各州應該結算票數，認證結果。

They all have their own particular deadlines, so it won't happen all at once.

他們都有自己特定的最後期限，所以不會一下子發生。

And, of course, if there local rules or legal challenge require a recount that could produce some delays.

當然，如果有當地的規則或法律挑戰要求重新計算，可能會產生一些延誤。

But they're all headed for the same goal, saying, Within a few weeks we've settled all disputes, and this is our final tally for each candidate.

但他們的目標都是一致的，他們說：在幾周之內，我們已經解決了所有的糾紛，這是我們對每個候選人的最後統計。

They must have that complete by December 14th, because that is when the electors must vote.

他們必須在12月14日之前完成，因為那是選舉人必須投票的時候。

Who are they?

他們是誰？

They are 538 people from all 50 states chosen by the parties, and they mirror the number of senators and representatives in each state, plus the District of Columbia, which gets three.

他們是由各黨派從所有50個州選出的538人，他們反映了每個州的參議員和眾議員的數量，加上哥倫比亞特區，有三個。

This is the Electoral College.

這就是選舉團。

Typically, they gather at their local state houses and award their electoral votes in most cases to whoever gathered the most popular votes in their state.

通常情況下，他們會聚集在當地的州議會，並在大多數情況下將選舉人票授予在本州獲得最多選票的人。

Although occasionally some break from that and cast rogue votes, becoming what we call faithless electors.

雖然偶爾有些人突破了這一點，投了無賴票，成為我們所說的無信仰的選民。

Although the Supreme Court ruled just this year they could be punished or remove that they take that action in any event, the results must be sent to Washington no later than December 23rd and then on January 6th.

雖然最高法院今年剛剛裁定他們可以受到懲罰或刪除他們在任何情況下采取這種行動，但結果必須在12月23日之前送到華盛頓，然後在1月6日。

Those electoral votes are counted during a joint session of Congress under the watchful eye of the president of the Senate, meaning vice president Mike Pence.

這些選舉人票在國會聯席會議期間，在參議院議長，也就是副總統邁克-彭斯的注視下進行統計。

And when that count is done, he will be the first person to officially announce the names of the next president and vice president.

而當這個統計完成後，他將會是第一個正式宣佈下一任總統和副總統名單的人。

And then, on Wednesday, January 20th, that noone, as prescribed by the Constitution, the big finish.

然後，1月20日星期三，那沒有人，按照憲法規定，大結局。

The president and vice president will be sworn in at the U.

總統和副總統將在美國宣誓就職。

12th Trivia.

12日的小事。

Which of these historic structures is oldest Stonehenge, the Great Wall of China, the Colosseum or Machu Picchu?

在這些歷史建築中，巨石陣、中國長城、鬥獸場和馬丘比丘哪個最古老？

Researchers believe construction on Stonehenge started in around 3000 BC, making it the oldest structure on this list.

研究人員認為，巨石陣的建設始於公元前3000年左右，是這份名單上最古老的建築。

Ah, lot of mystery surrounds Stonehenge.

啊，巨石陣周圍有很多神祕的東西。

Why it was built, how it was built, what it was used for.

為什麼要建，怎麼建，用來幹什麼。

One thing that is not mysterious is that there's a lot of traffic nearby that often jams up.

有一點並不神祕，那就是附近經常堵車。

To deal with that, Britain's government has just given the green light to a project that would both widened the road that runs by Stonehenge and build a two mile traffic tunnel that will run underground near the site.

為了解決這個問題，英國政府剛剛為一個項目開了綠燈，這個項目既要拓寬巨石陣旁的道路，又要在巨石陣附近修建一條兩英里長的交通隧道，從地下穿過。

It's a controversial decision.

這是一個有爭議的決定。

The group that manages Stonehenge says the tunnel will transform the site and allow people to more easily explore it in the surrounding countryside.

管理巨石陣的集團表示，這條隧道將改變該遺址，讓人們更容易在周圍的鄉村探索它。

Supporters also say the project will reduce traffic noise around Stonehenge.

支持者還表示，該項目將減少巨石陣周圍的交通噪音。

Critics say the plan will increase traffic pollution overall and that it could damage the area and any undiscovered archaeological features it has.

批評者說，該計劃將從整體上增加交通汙染，並可能破壞該地區及其擁有的任何未被發現的考古特徵。

The project is estimated to cost $2.2 billion.

該項目預計耗資22億美元。

Sunday night, NASA and the private space company Space X were set to launch America's newest mission to the international space station.

週日晚，美國宇航局和私人航天公司Space X將向國際空間站發射美國最新的任務。

It depended on the weather, though windy conditions had delayed the first planned attempt on Saturday, so officials were prepared to delay it again if nature didn't cooperate.

這取決於天氣，儘管大風條件已經延後了週六的第一次計劃嘗試，所以官員準備再次延後，如果自然界不合作。

The mission is called Crew one.

這個任務被稱為Crew one。

It's part of an $8 billion investment that NASA has made with Space six to send people into space from US soil, as opposed to paying Russia for seats aboard its Soyuz spacecraft.

這是美國宇航局與太空六號合作的80億美元投資的一部分，目的是將人們從美國本土送入太空，而不是向俄羅斯支付其聯盟號飛船上的座位。

NASA hopes missions like this will allow the agency to shuttle Mawr people too, and throw the S and increase the amount of research that's done on the 20 year old station ignition theft job, a Falcon nine and Dragon This'll launch marked the dawn of a new era of U.

美國宇航局希望這樣的任務能讓該機構也能穿梭莫爾人，並拋出S並增加研究量，20年的老站點火盜竊工作，獵鷹九號和龍號這將發射標誌著美國新時代的到來。

Just like in May, when astronauts lifted off from US soil for the first time in nine years.

就像5月份，太空人9年來首次從美國本土升空一樣。

NASA isn't running the whole show.

美國宇航局並不負責整個節目。

It partnered with Elon Musk Space six, the private company that designed, Built and operates the crew dragon.

它與埃隆-馬斯克Space six合作，Space six是設計、建造和營運乘員龍的私人公司。

It has been 18 years working towards this goal, so it's hard to believe that it's happened.

為了這個目標已經努力了18年，所以很難相信這一切已經發生了。

This time.

這一次。

NASA astronauts Victor Glover, Michael Hopkins, Shannon Walker and Japan's Soichi Noguchi will be on board.

What does it mean to you to be a black man and an astronaut at this moment in our country's history?

在我國曆史上的這個時刻，作為一個黑人和一個太空人，對你意味著什麼？

You know, I'm not immune to the things going on in the world right now from the physical, uh, insecurity that many people are feeling to the economic insecurity.

你知道，我不能倖免於現在世界上發生的事情，從身體上的，呃，不安全感，許多人都感覺到了經濟上的不安全感。

And I will say this.

我想說的是

The overriding feeling that I have is that I want to go up there and do my job well.

我最主要的感覺是，我想上去做好自己的工作。

The crew named their spacecraft resilience in recognition of 20 twenties challenges.

I think all of us can agree that 2020 has certainly been a challenging here.

我想我們所有人都可以同意，2020年在這裡肯定是一個挑戰。

Global pandemic, economic hardships, civil unrest, isolation to stay safe.

全球流行病，經濟困難，內亂，孤立無援，以保安全。

Astronauts have been in strict quarantine together, and NASA is begging tourists not to crowd Florida's beaches to watch the lift off.

太空人已經被嚴格隔離在一起，NASA懇請遊客不要擠在佛羅里達州的海灘上觀看升空。

After all, there will be more launches.

畢竟，會有更多的發射。

NASA's plan is for more trips to the S s carrying new astronauts and perhaps one day private citizens.

Final score of the Hawks game was 108 to 94.

老鷹隊比賽的最終比分是108比94。

Now that would make sense in professional basketball.

現在，這在職業籃球中是有意義的。

But in high school football, a score like that would be a record, right?

但在高中橄欖球比賽中，這樣的比分會是一個記錄吧？

Right In Iowa, the Remsen, ST Mary's Hawks and the Montezuma Braves put up a combined total of 202 points in a single game.

就在愛荷華州，雷姆森、ST瑪麗老鷹和蒙特祖瑪勇士隊在單場比賽中總共拿下202分。

That's a state record, and the reps in ST Mary's 108 points won the game.

這是一個州的記錄，ST瑪麗的108分的代表贏得了比賽。

The 94 that Montezuma put up was still 94 points.

蒙特祖瑪打出的94分還是94分。

The scoreboard couldn't keep up.

記分牌跟不上了。

It's not programmed to go that high, so the Hawks score appeared as infinity.

它的程序沒有那麼高，所以老鷹隊的比分出現了無窮大。

They're not just winning at football.

他們不僅僅是在足球上取勝。

They're winning at math, because when you touch down pen to paper, you need to make hash marks by the yard just to add up a score that Russia's past the record catches national attention and receives credit for such a highly calculated offense that would exceed anyone's field goals.

他們在數學上贏了，因為當你把筆觸到紙上時，你需要按碼做哈希標記，只是為了加起來的分數，俄羅斯的過去的記錄引起了國家的關注，並獲得了這樣一個高度計算的進攻的功勞，這將超過任何人的場球。
