This year, Russian President Vladimir Putin said NATO, an alliance of European and North American countries, had been increasingly threatening Russia

今年，俄羅斯總統普丁說北約已漸漸威脅到俄羅斯，北約是由歐洲和北美國家組成的聯盟

And though he didn't mention Ukraine by name, President Putin described Russia's actions there as a preemptive strike against NATO expansion.

儘管他沒有具體指出烏克蘭，普丁總統將俄羅斯在烏克蘭的行動描述為北約擴張前先發制人的攻擊。

Ukraine is not a member of NATO, but it said in the past it wanted to be⏤that nation also marked Victory Day.

烏克蘭不是北約的成員，但在過去曾想加入北約，而烏克蘭也會紀念勝利日。

Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union in 1945, one of the allies that defeated Germany

烏克蘭在1945年是蘇聯的一部分，也是打敗德國的同盟國之一。

And Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky said his country would never forget what its ancestors did in World War II, adding that very soon, there would be two victory days in Ukraine and none in Russia.

烏克蘭總統弗拉基米爾-澤倫斯基說，他的國家永遠不會忘記祖先在第二次世界大戰中所做的一切，並補充說，烏克蘭很快就會有兩個勝利日，俄羅斯想都別想贏。

The US leader said Ukraine's international partners have to keep weapons flowing to help the country succeed.

美國領導人表示，烏克蘭的國際盟友必須保持武器的流動，以幫助該國取得成功。

But critics of the US government spending have questioned why America is giving Ukraine arms instead of selling them to the country.

但責備美國政府開支的人提出質疑， 為什麼美國要直接提供武器給烏克蘭，而不是賣給烏國。

Ukrainian Railways says it's lost access to 20% of its network due either to Russian occupation or Russian bombs that have cut off access to long stretches of track.

烏克蘭鐵路公司表示，由於俄羅斯的佔領切斷了長長的軌道通道，烏鐵路失去了20%的網絡通道。

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.

鐵路一直是讓物資進入和人們離開危險地區的重要工具，但它也一直是俄羅斯轟炸的主要目標

所以損壞後維修是項危險的工作

The railway says that well over 100 rail employees have died since the war began⏤some of those have been fighting on the front lines, but many others have just been showing up for work

鐵路部門表示，自戰爭開始以來，已經有遠超過100名員工死亡。有些人死於前線戰鬥，但有些人只是來上班就被炸死。

10-second trivia: Which of these places occupies the greatest area?

10秒問答題: 這些地方中哪一個佔據了最大的面積?

It's not just the biggest US state⏤Alaska's 665,000 square miles makes it larger than many countries.

阿拉斯加不僅僅是美國最大的州，665,000平方英里的阿拉斯加比許多國家都大。

There's one main road running in and out of the Lowell Point community in southern Alaska.

在南阿拉斯加的Lowell Point社區有一條主幹道。

It's a resort area that's popular with tourists, and, well, some folks are getting a little extra time there.

這是一個度假區，很受遊客歡迎，而且，有些人在那裡得到了一點額外的時間。

No one was hurt last Saturday when a landslide blocked the road connecting Lowell Point to the city of Seward.

上週六，山崩阻斷了連接Lowell Point和Seward市的道路，沒有人受傷。

It reportedly started after a single boulder rolled down onto the street, and after that was followed by rocks, rubble, dirt, and trees.

據報道，一開始是一塊巨石滾落到街道，後來石頭、碎石、泥土和樹木也滾下來。

On another American coast, developers and conservationists are trying to build renewable energy facilities without disturbing wildlife.

在另一個美國海岸，開發商和環境保護主義者正試圖在不干擾野生動物的情況下建造可再生能源設施。

According to North Carolina State University, renewable power sources typically take up more space than fossil fuel plants,

根據北卡羅來納州立大學的報告，可再生能源通常比化石燃料工廠佔用更多空間，

and that can destroy habitats, block animals' travel routes, and in the case of offshore wind turbines, threatened birds in the air and marine life below the surface.

這可能會破壞棲息地、阻礙動物的移動路線。海上風力渦輪機更可能威脅到空中的鳥類和水面下的海洋生物。

New york's waterways may be best known for skyline views and crowded shipping lanes.

紐約的水道因天際線和擁擠的航道聞名。

Yet these busy waters also harbor a rich community of marine mammals.

然而，繁忙的水道也孕育著豐富的海洋哺乳類動物。

Local whale species include the iconic humpback, fin whales, and the endangered North Atlantic right whale.

當地的鯨魚物種包括經典的座頭鯨、長鬚鯨和瀕臨滅絕的大西洋露脊鯨。

These photographs [were] captured thanks to a multi-year aerial survey conducted by Tetra Tech and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

這些照片的拍攝要歸功一項進行多年的空中調查，由Tetra Tech公司以及和紐約市環境保育局主導。

Right off of our shores, you know, in less than the average distance that, you know, a New Yorker or someone from the tri-state area would commute, these great whales are here.

離海岸不遠的地方，也就是紐約人或三州都會區上班通勤的距離，常常有大鯨魚在這。

Wildlife Conservation Society scientist Howard Rosenbaum studies the wild population here in the New York Bight, the area between Long Island and the New Jersey coast.

野生動物保護協會的科學家霍華德-羅森鮑姆在紐約灣 (長島和紐澤西海岸之間) 研究野生物種。

His mission? To use the latest research methods to protect the whales.

他的任務是使用最新的研究方法來保護鯨魚。

This is one of the busiest urban waterways on the planet, and they face threats such as, you know, impacts from shipping, which could include ship strikes or ocean noise, incidental entanglement in fishing gear.

這是地球上最繁忙的城市水道之一，鯨魚面臨航運的威脅，可能包括船舶撞擊、海洋噪音、被漁具意外的纏繞。

These areas in the New York Bight along the East Coast, you know, under this administration are slated for extensive renewable energy development, which the planet needs.

在州政府的規劃下，紐約市沿東海岸的這些地區計畫要進行廣泛的可再生能源開發，因為這正是地球所需要的。

We just want to make sure that it's done with the best environmental and management practices possible so that wildlife and renewable energy can coexist.

我們想要確保它是依照最好的環境和管理做法完成，這樣野生動物和可再生能源就可以共存。

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.

藉由跟挪威公司Equinor以及伍茲霍爾海洋研究所合作，世界自然基金會用聲學浮標來即時探測鯨魚叫聲，其中Equinor主要負責紐約的離岸風力計畫。

If you can imagine when a whale vocalizes in the New York Bight, like for example, a North Atlantic right whale, we can actually detect those animals.

試想看看當鯨魚，比如北大西洋露脊鯨好了，在紐約發出聲音時，我們可以實際探測到這些動物。

I can get an alert on my cell phone, and when that happens at a certain level right now, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration is requesting ships to slow down.

我可以在手機上收到警報，當現在警報發生到一定程度上時，國家海洋大氣管理局就會要求船隻放慢速度。

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。

Rosenbaum's team also takes and analyzes genetic samples from the whales in order to understand more about how this population connects to others, like how they feed and breed.

羅森鮑姆的團隊還從鯨魚身上提取並分析了基因樣本，以近一步瞭解鯨魚這種群與其他種群的聯繫，比如他們如何進食和繁殖。

We're also trying some new work which is called Environmental DNA, or EDNA, and with that, we're actually able to detect whale presence and what they're eating just by collecting the water sample.

我們也在嘗試一些被稱為環境DNA或EDNA的新技術，幫助我們檢測到鯨魚的存在，以及透過水樣本採集知道牠們在吃什麼。

For 10 out of 10, when people tell Brittany Davis, "Whoa, that is the tallest dog I've ever seen", they ain't lying.

He does occasionally steal people food off the kitchen counter because, at more than three feet, five inches tall, he can.

他確實偶爾會從廚房流理台偷人的食物，因為他超過三英尺五英寸的身高允許他這麼做。

I guess if the world's biggest dog is actually great,

我想如果世界上最大的狗是如此厲害，

it kind of makes you want to avoid boxers, fence in the bulls, respect the saints, feel sorry for blues,

這會讓你想避開拳師狗、關住比特犬、尊重聖伯納犬、為布魯斯感到遺憾，

freshen up Rottweilers, play with the toys, shot the rats, and, if you get lost, seek out a pointer,

梳洗羅威納犬、玩玩具、射老鼠，然後如果你迷路了，找一隻指標犬，

because, if the world is going to the dogs, you don't want to stay malamute when it comes to finding chow.
