The New Zealand weightlifter, Laurel, Hubbard is set to become the first transgender athletes to compete at the Olympics.

紐西蘭舉重運動員勞雷爾-哈伯德將成為第一個參加奧運會的變性運動員。

The country's Olympic Committee has named her as part of the women's team for the Tokyo Games, Hubbard competed in men's competitions before transitioning in 2012.

該國奧委會已指定她為東京奧運會女隊的一員，哈伯德在2012年轉型之前曾參加過男子比賽。

So an athlete from New Zealand is to enter the Tokyo olympics.

是以，一名來自紐西蘭的運動員將參加東京奧運會。

Lauren Hubbard is a weightlifter, she is also transgender, she was born male and identifies now as female.

勞倫-哈伯德是一名舉重運動員，她也是變性人，她出生時是男性，現在認同為女性。

Hobart is in the news because this is the first time a transgender athlete has competed in the olympics, Herbert will be on the new Zealand women's team.

霍巴特之所以成為新聞，是因為這是第一次有變性運動員參加奧運會，赫伯特將參加紐西蘭女隊的比賽。

In the past, Herbert has competed on men's teams, but this year it will be the women's team.

過去，赫伯特在男隊參賽，但今年將是女隊參賽。

Now we've got three words and expressions from the world's media that we can use to talk about this story.

現在我們有三個來自世界媒體的詞彙和表達方式，我們可以用來談論這個故事。

Yes, we have trans bruise and polarizing trends, bruise and polarizing.

是的，我們有反式挫傷和兩極化的趨勢，挫傷和兩極化。

Catherine, can we have a look at your first headline please?

凱瑟琳，我們可以看看你的第一個標題嗎？

Trans weightlifter laurel Hubbard set to make history at Tokyo olympics trends, transgender.

變性舉重運動員勞雷爾-哈伯德將在東京奧運會上創造歷史的趨勢，變性人。

對今天的故事來說，這是一個非常重要的詞。

這是對變性人的一種簡短說法。

Let's look at trans is wider meaning is over across all through we use it as a prefix.

讓我們來看看反式是更廣泛的意義是超過所有通過我們使用它作為一個前綴。

So you can talk about something like a transatlantic flight.

是以，你可以談論像跨大西洋飛行這樣的事情。

If you take a plane from europe to America or America to europe, that's a transatlantic flight, it crosses the atlantic ocean.

如果你坐飛機從歐洲到美國或美國到歐洲，那就是跨大西洋飛行，它跨越了大西洋。

If you travel across Russia by train, you're probably on the trans Siberian express, the train that traveled all the way across Russia and we use it in words like transfer or transmit to talk about going from one place to another.

如果你乘坐火車穿越俄羅斯，你可能乘坐的是跨西伯利亞快車，這列火車一路穿越俄羅斯，我們在轉移或傳送等詞中使用它來談論從一個地方到另一個地方的問題。

So back to transgender, if you change your gender or you have agenda, a sex that you feel is not the one you were born with.

所以回到變性人，如果你改變了你的性別，或者你有議程，一個你覺得不是你出生時的性別。

So you're a man who then lives as a woman or you were born a woman and you live as a man, you are transgender.

是以，你是一個男人，然後以女人的身份生活，或者你生為女人，以男人的身份生活，你就是變性人。

Now, that's a very simplified way of explaining transgender.

現在，這是一種非常簡化的解釋跨性別者的方式。

There are a lot of details and issues around transgenderism, which we don't have time to go in today, but trans is short for transgender and that's a brief summary of what it is.

圍繞變性有很多細節和問題，我們今天沒有時間去研究，但變性是變性人的簡稱，這就是對變性的簡單概括。

Okay, so transgender people, they kind of feel that their true nature or gender identity doesn't match the sex that they were given at birth.

好的，所以變性人，他們覺得他們的真實本性或性別認同與他們出生時的性別不相符。

Can you give us some examples of when we could use trans or transgender there in a sentence.

So in the case of laurel Herbert, we can say laurel Hubbard is a transgender athlete or we can shorten it and say laurel Hubbard is a trans athlete.

是以，在勞拉-赫伯特的案例中，我們可以說勞拉-赫伯特是一名變性運動員，或者我們可以縮短它，說勞拉-赫伯特是一名變性運動員。

Or we can say laurel Hubbard is transgender or just laurel Hubbard is trans.

或者我們可以說勞拉-哈伯德是變性人，或者只是勞拉-哈伯德是變性人。

我們現在可以像運動員一樣擁有它。

So laurel Hubbard, transgender athletes or we could just say laurel Hubbard is transgender.
