Orange-vested workers have been quietly repairing this span for weeks, ever since the Russians finally retreated.

自從俄國人撤退後，橙色背心的鐵路員工默默地修復好幾週。

It's actually less than four weeks, which normally would take months and months of civil engineering work, planning, projecting; so now, like, when the situation is stuff everyone works 24/7.

這通常需要幾個月的土木工程、規劃、預測，但因為現在情況是每個人都24小時工作，他們實際上維修不到四個星期

The railway has been an indispensable tool in getting supplies in and people out of the most dangerous areas, but it has also been a huge target for Russian bombs.

In partnership with Norwegian company Equinor, which has a major offshore wind project in New York, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, the WCS has deployed two acoustic buoys to detect whale calls in real-time.

In the future, Rosenbaum says this alert system could be used to mandate boat slowdowns or to directly alert developers and shippers to the presence of whales so that they can pause noisy or potentially harmful activities.

羅森鮑姆說，這警報系統可要求船隻減速，或直接提醒開發商和託運人注意鯨魚的存在，讓他們能夠暫停吵雜或潛在危害的活動。

It's a great tool and a great use of the technology that we can begin to use and harness the power of that to help better protect whales.

這是一個結合科技的好工具，我們可以開始使用它來好好保護鯨魚。
