I'm Carl Azuz, we're glad you're watching.

我是 Carl Azuz，我們很高興有你們的收看。

More than a month after the U.S. presidential election, there's a lot that's still up in the air.

美國總統大選已經過去一個多月了，有很多事情還沒有定論。

For one thing, the makeup of the next US Senate.

其一，美國下屆參議院的組成。

Will it be controlled by Democrats or Republicans?

它會被民主黨還是共和黨控制呢？

When the 117th US Congress convenes on January 3rd, current projections indicate that at least 48 seats will be controlled by Democrats and at least 50 by Republicans.

1 月 3 日美國第 117 屆國會召開時，目前的預測顯示，至少有 48 個席位將由民主黨控制，至少有 50 個席位由共和黨控制。

That doesn't equal the 100 total seats.

但這加起來不等於總席位 100 個。

There are two Senate seats from the state of Georgia that haven't been determined yet, and they'll likely be decided by a runoff election on January 5th.

喬治亞州有兩個參議員席位還沒有確定，他們很可能會透過 1 月 5 日第二輪選舉來決定。

If Republicans win at least one of those seats, they'll have the simple majority they need to keep control of the Senate.

如果共和黨贏得至少其中一個席位，他們就會有維持參議院控制權所需的簡單多數決。

If Democrats win both of these seats, the Senate will be split with 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans.

如果民主黨贏得這兩個席位，參議院將會由 50 名民主黨人和 50 名共和黨人組成。

And if any of the chambers votes are split 50-50, the vice president will cast the deciding vote.

而如果兩院中任何一院的票數各佔一半，副總統就會投下決定性的一票。

Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are projected to be the next president and vice president of the United States.

民主黨人喬·拜登和卡瑪拉·哈里斯預計將成為美國下一任總統和副總統。

Democrats are projected to keep control of the House of Representatives, so what happens in Georgia's runoff is incredibly important to both major parties.

民主黨人預計將維持對眾議院的控制權，所以喬治亞州第二輪選舉所發生的事情對兩個主要政黨來說都非常重要。

If Democrats gained control of the White House and both chambers of Congress, it will be much easier for them to pass laws and enact their priorities for the country.

如果民主黨人獲得了白宮和國會兩院的控制權，他們將更容易通過法律和為國家制定他們的優先事項。

If Republicans maintain control of the Senate, it'll be easier for them to limit the Democrats' power and require compromise on new laws.

如果共和黨維持對參議院的控制權，他們就更容易限制民主黨的權力，並要求他們對新法律妥協。

What's unusual this time around is that the presidential election is still in dispute.

這次不同尋常的是總統選舉仍有爭議。

President Donald Trump says, quote, there's no way he lost the election, and his administration and supporting groups have legally challenged the results in several states.

唐纳·川普總統說他不可能輸掉選舉，他的政府和支持團體已經在一些州中對選舉結果提出質疑。

But so far, those challenges have not led to any major changes in projections that former Vice President Joe Biden is now the U.S. president-elect.

但到目前為止，這些挑戰並未對前副總統喬·拜登是現在美國當選總統的預測產生任何重大變化。

The next step in all this happens today, and CNN 10 contributor Kelly Mena explains what it is.

這一切的下一步將會在今天發生，CNN 10 的特約記者 Kelly Mena 將要為你們解釋一下。

Kelly.

Kelly。

Thanks, Carl.

謝謝，Carl。

Now let's take a look at a few key remaining deadlines left until Inauguration Day in January.

現在讓我們來看看距離在一月就職典禮前還剩下的幾個關鍵截止日期。

The first date to look out for is December 8th, known as the Safe Harbor Deadline.

第一個需要注意的是 12 月 8 日，也就是所謂的安全港截止日期。

This is the date by which states are meant to have counted their votes, settle disputes and determined the winner of their electoral college votes.

這天是各州統計選票、解決爭端並確定選舉團選票獲勝者的日期。

This date is extremely important because when Congress means to tally the electoral votes in January, it must accept the electors certified before this deadline.

這個日期極為重要，因為當國會打算在一月統計選舉人票時，它必須接受在此截止日期前認證的選民。

Six days after election disputes are supposed to be settled, electors meet in their respective states to cast their vote for president of the United States.

在選舉爭議應該解決的六天後，選舉人在各自的州開會，為今年的美國總統投票。

This year that date falls on December 14th.

今天這一天正好是 12 月 14 日。

Notably, many states have laws requiring electors to support the winner of their state's popular vote and can levy fines against faithless electors who choose to go their own way.

值得注意的是，許多州都有法律要求選民支持本州普選的獲勝者，並可以對選擇走自己的路的失信選民徵收罰款。

Once electors have cast their votes, those certified votes have until December 23rd to make it to Washington, D.C.

選民投票後，這些經過認證的選票要在 12 月 23 日之前送到華盛頓特區。

Then, on January 3rd, the new 117th Congress, which includes the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, is sworn in.

然後，1 月 3 日，包括美國眾議院和美國參議院在內新的第 117 屆國會宣誓就職。

Three days later, they meet to count and certify the election results.

三天後，他們開會統計和認證選舉結果。

There are 538 electoral votes, one for each congressman and U.S Senator plus three for Washington, D.C.

有 538 張選舉人票，每個國會議員和美國參議員各一張，華盛頓特區三張。

A candidate needs 270 to win.

候選人需要獲得 270 票才能當選。

Once certified, the new president is sworn in on January 20th 2021.

一經認證，新總統就會在 2021 年 1 月 20 日宣誓就職。

Carl, with a few key deadlines left until a new presidential administration, it will be interesting to see how these steps unfold in the days ahead.

Carl，在新一屆總統任期前還有幾個關鍵的最後期限，看看這些事情在未來會如何一步步展開將會是件很有趣的事。

We will gain insights at last into how big triceratops really grew to, and also details such as how many bones, how many vertebrae were in the tail, these are basic characteristics of triceratops that until this find, we simply didn't know.

我們將最終了解到三角龍到底長到多大，還有一些細節，例如有多少塊骨頭，尾巴上有多少塊脊椎骨，這些三角龍的基本特徵，而在這次的發現之前，我們根本不知道。

[The skeleton was discovered in 2014 on a private property in Montana, US.]

[The fossil weighs more than 1000 kg and is estimated be six to seven meters long, with a height of over two meters.]

[化石的重量超過 1000 公斤，估計有 6 到 7 米長，高度超過 2 米。]

[Triceratops, one of the last known dinosaurs, lived 68-66 million years ago.]

There's still a lot to work out, but the biggest obstacle probably isn't technology.

還有很多事情尚未完成，但其實最大的障礙也許不是科技。

As the saying goes, it's not rocket science that's the hard part, it's political science, convincing the politicians that they need to fund this adequately, whatever it is that you think it might cost, it's probably actually going to be more.

俗話說，火箭科學不是最難的，是政治學，說服政客他們需要足夠的資金， 不管你認為這可能要花多少錢，實際上可能會更多。

NASA estimates total cost could hit 30 billion dollars over five years.
