And US officials say Russia's progress has been slower than the nation's government thought it would be.

Critics of that strategy say sanctions alone are not enough to stop Russia, that they take too long, and that the ones that have been announced weren't put in place soon enough to deter the Russian invasion.

該策略的批評者說，僅靠制裁不足以阻止俄羅斯。原因在於制裁需花的時間太長，且已經宣佈的制裁未落實到位，不足以阻止俄羅斯的入侵。

Inside Russia itself, there have been protests against that invasion, with hundreds, and possibly thousands, of people getting arrested for participating.

俄羅斯境內人民抗議此入侵，數百甚至數千人因參與而被捕。

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson has officially been nominated to the US Supreme Court.

凱坦吉·布朗·傑克森法官已被正式提名為美國最高法院大法官。

President Joe Biden made the announcement on Friday.

The 51-year-old nominee currently sits on the US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and before that, Judge Jackson served as a federal district court judge.

這位51歲的被提名人目前在哥倫比亞特區聯邦巡迴上訴法院任職。在這之前，傑克遜法官曾擔任聯邦地區法院法官。

She's the first black woman ever to be nominated to the Supreme Court, but will she be confirmed as its newest associate justice?

她是有史以來第一位被提名進入最高法院的黑人女性，但她會被批准成為最高法院最新的法官嗎？

That's up to the US Senate, whose job is to give advice and consent on presidential nominees.

這取決於美國參議院，其工作是對總統提名的人提出建議和同意。

The Senate's currently divided between 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans, and some Republicans have said they're concerned about the support that Judge Jackson has received from, quote, "radical liberal groups".

參議院目前由50名民主黨人和50名共和黨人組成，一些共和黨人表示，他們對傑克遜法官從「激進自由派」獲得的支持感到擔憂。

However, three Republicans did join all Democrats in voting for Jackson's confirmation to her current job.

然而，傑克森去年獲提命為聯邦上訴法院法官時，得到所有民主黨參議員及三名共和黨參議員跨黨支持。

That happened last June.

這發生在去年六月。

If the Senate were to vote straight down party lines on her Supreme Court nomination, with all Republicans opposing Jackson and all Democrats supporting her,

若傑克森的提名戰仍然是按照黨派路線來進行，也就是所有共和黨人反對傑克遜，所有民主黨人支持她的情況下，

民主黨的副總統卡瑪拉·哈里斯將會對傑克遜任職與否投下決定性的一票。

We are learning that President Biden met with three candidates on Valentine's Day, February 14th, for individual interviews at the White House that went under the radar of everyone at the time.

據我們所知，2月14日情人節當天，總統拜登在白宮悄悄地會見了三位候選人，並低調的進行了單獨訪談。

But he finally offered the position on Thursday evening to Judge Jackson, and she was at the White House on Friday.

但他終於在星期四晚上任命傑克遜法官此職位，而她星期五則現身白宮。

If approved by the Senate, Jackson would succeed Justice Stephen Breyer, a mentor for whom she worked as a law clerk in 1999.

如果得到參議院的準許，傑克遜將接替斯蒂芬・佈雷耶大法官。佈雷耶曾是傑克遜在1999年作為法律助理的導師。

Justice Breyer, the members of the Senate will decide if I fill your seat, but please know that I could never fill your shoes.

佈雷耶大法官，參議院的成員將決定我是否填補你的席位，但您崇敬的地位是我永遠無法取代的。

Her liberal ideology would not change the balance of the court, yet her presence on the bench would mark a major milestone for the court and the country.

她的自由主義不會改變法院的平衡，但是她的任職將標示著法院及國家的一大重要里程碑。

The White House ceremony comes two years to the day since Biden first made the pledge to nominate a black woman on the court as he sought to revive his candidacy before the South Carolina primary.

此次白宮典禮距離拜登首次承諾提名黑人女性進入法院，已有兩年時間。拜登首次提名黑人女性進入法院是在南卡羅來納州初選前、尋求重振其候選資格時。

I'm looking forward to making sure there's a black woman on the Supreme Court to make sure...I pushed very hard for that.

我期待確保最高法院有一個黑人女性，確保...我非常努力地推動了這一點。

Jackson has been a federal judge for nearly a decade, elevated last year to the influential US Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

傑克遜已擔任聯邦法官近十年，去年被提升為哥倫比亞特區聯邦巡迴上訴法院中有影響力的美國聯邦法官。

Incredibly, Judge Jackson has already been confirmed by the United States Senate three times; she strives to be fair, to get it right, to do justice.

令人讚嘆地，傑克遜法官已被美國參議院批准三次了，她努力做到公平公正、做正確的事情且伸張正義。

Rare experience for a Supreme Court justice.

10秒鐘小知識：穿過地球大氣層並擊中地面的太空岩石是什麼？

If a meteoroid survives Earth's atmosphere and makes it to the surface, it's called a meteorite.

But the Christie's auction company says it's incredibly rare for things built by people to get hit by meteorites.

我們不知道這些錢有多少會給狗狗，但希望牠能從交易中得到一間新房子。

One that rocks, if you know what I'm saying.

那種很「酷」的豪宅，你懂我的梗吧。

His old "rantantinned" roof was rusted, so he'll probably want something to "eave" his anxiety, one with better protection for his "fascia", something that offers more of a "life-rafter", and he'll probably opt out of a "skylight".

牠那鐺啷鐺啷的舊鐵皮小屋屋頂已經鏽了，所以牠可能想要些能「房子」焦慮的東西，像是能夠遮蔽「陰影」的招牌，或是些救生...「椽」，還有牠可能也不會想住「露天」豪宅。

Then maybe he might not mind being in the doghouse⏤roof puns, we nailed them!

這樣牠應該就不會介意住在狗窩了。窩屋(Woo~)，真是不錯的雙關。
