We had some tragic news coming out of the US state of Texas as we produced today's show.

And US President Joe Biden was scheduled to address the nation last night.

CNN.com will have updated information on all of this.

CNN.com 將有關於這一切的最新資訊。

Next, we're taking you to 2 island countries on opposite sides of the Northern Hemisphere.

接下來，我們將帶您到北半球的兩個島國，

Tens of thousands of Cubans are leaving their nation.

數以萬計的古巴人正在離開他們的國家。

It's currently dealing with runaway inflation⏤prices around 70% higher at the end of last year than they were the year before.

古巴正面臨失控的通貨膨脹，2021年結束時，古巴的通貨膨脹率超過大約70%。

And the communist country is seeing its worst shortages of food and medicine in decades.

這個共產黨國家正逢數十年來最嚴重的糧食、藥品短缺的困境。

The COVID pandemic hurt Cuba's tourism industry⏤the country's getting less oil from its ally Venezuela, which is having trouble producing enough oil for itself.

新冠疫情讓古巴旅遊業雪上加霜⏤其盟友委內瑞拉減少出口石油至古巴，因為委內瑞拉也難以生產足夠該國使用的石油量。

And for years, the US has imposed sanctions⏤economic penalties⏤on Cuba to pressure its government to make changes.

而多年來，美國對古巴實施的經濟制裁⏤經濟禁運⏤為了削弱古巴政權。

As Cubans protested last year over shortages, power outages, and the lack of freedoms, their government blamed the United States for trying to overturn Cuba's communist rule.

古巴人上街頭抗議示威混雜著多項訴求，從電力、糧食短缺到不滿共產主義，古巴政府卻把問題的根源推到美國及其古巴禁運政策頭上。

But critics of Cuba's leaders say they tried to take advantage of their country's economic problems and [the] exodus of migrants to pressure the US Government.

但反政府示威者說，古巴領導人試圖利用他們國家的經濟問題和移民外流來向美國施壓。

American officials say the number of Cubans trying to enter the US is increasing exponentially.

根據美國海關數據，古巴人口試圖進入美國加速增加。

Meanwhile, the island nation of Sri Lanka is also dealing with shortages of fuel and food.

與此同時，島國斯里蘭卡也正面臨燃料和食品短缺的問題。

The inflation rate in this presidential republic is more than 33% higher than it was last year at this time.

這個半總統制代議制民主共和國的通貨膨脹率比去年這個時候高出33%以上。

If you drive through Sri Lanka's capital Colombo, you'll spot hundreds of people standing in multiple queues, hoping to take home fuel and gas from collection points.

如果你開車經過斯里蘭卡首都科倫坡，你會發現數以百計的民眾站在加油站前排隊等待購買汽油。

For months, there's been an acute shortage of essential commodities.

數月來，斯里蘭卡爆發大量物資短缺問題。

In a new low for the country, Sri Lanka defaulted on its debts Thursday.

斯里蘭卡因此陷入龐大債務危機，週四更爆發史上第一次倒債。

We speak to people in Colombo about the impact the country's worst economic crisis has had on their lives.

我們訪談住在科倫坡的居民，瞭解該國最嚴重的經濟危機對他們生活的影響。

36year-old Thuvan, an auto rickshaw driver, has spent two nights at this gas station in central Colombo.

一名36歲的嘟嘟車司機 Thuvan 在科倫坡中心的這個加油站已待了兩個晚上。

It's been an endless way to refuel his three-wheeler⏤petrol pumps are all but dry across the city.

為了能加到油用盡各種辦法⏤城裡的加油站完全無油可加。

About 5 kilometers or 3 miles away from Thuvan's home, Sagarika Samanthi can barely sit in this 30-inch-wide balcony where she cooks the day's meals.

距離 Thuvan 的住家五公里或三英里遠處，Sagarika Samanthi 在這個30英寸窄小、幾乎無法坐下的陽臺上煮三餐。

She uses coconut husk, paper, and kerosene to get the firewood stove started.

她用椰子殻、廢紙、煤油在小陽台升火煮飯。

Since the 30th of April, there's been no cooking gas.

Earlier, Sagarika would cook three meals a day on a gas stove.

之前 Sagarika 會在瓦斯爐上料理三餐。

Weeks of protests forced all the Rajapaksas except the President to step down from senior government posts.

好幾週來示威抗議不斷，迫使兄弟檔執政的 Rajapaksas 辭去總理一職。

On Monday, Sri Lanka's new prime minister Wickremesinghe warned that things will only get worse before getting any better.

週一，接任的新總理 Wickremesinghe 不諱言，在情況好轉前還會持續惡化。

Four days later, and for the first time in its history, the country defaulted on its debt.

四天後，該國有史以來爆發史上第一次債務違約。

10-second trivia: What US state traditionally holds the first primary or caucus in a presidential election year?

10秒鐘的快問快答 : 傳統上在美國哪一州為總統大選的黨團會議初選第一站？

New Hampshire, Iowa, Washington, or Virginia.

新罕布夏州、愛荷華州、華盛頓州、維吉尼亞州。

Every four years, Iowa usually holds the first caucus in the nation.

每四年，愛荷華州會第一次舉行全國兩黨的黨內初選。

Though this isn't a presidential election year in America, primaries have still been going on starting on the first Tuesday of this month.

雖然今年不是美國的總統選舉年，但初選仍在本月的第一個星期二開始進行。

And what they do is determine which candidates appear on the ballots this November.

它們的作用是決定哪些候選人會出現在今年 11 月的選票上。

Americans will be choosing all 435 voting members of the US House of Representatives.

美國人將選出美國眾議院所有 435 名有投票權的成員。

They'll be deciding on 34 seats in the 100-member Senate.

他們將決定參議院100名成員中的34個席位。

They'll be picking governors in 36 states and a slew of politicians for state and local races will also be on the ballots in the midterm elections.

他們將在 36 個州挑選州長，並且大量參加州和地方競選的政客也將參加期中選舉的選票。

In the primaries, voters can whittle down a list of candidates who are running.

在初選中，選民可以縮減正在競選的候選人名單。

For example, if several Republicans or several Democrats are all trying to win the same seat, a primary in the spring can decide which one candidate from each party gets on the ballot in the fall.

例如，如果幾個共和黨人或幾個民主黨人都想贏得同一個席位，那麼春季的初選可以決定每一黨的哪一位候選人在秋季參加選票。

There's a lot at stake in the midterms; control of Congress is one of the biggest headlines.

在期中選舉中，有很多事情事關重大；控制國會是最大的頭條新聞之一。

So, the election season that's in full swing now will decide the House and Senate makeup until at least the next election in two years.

現在如火如荼的選舉季將決定眾議院和參議院的組成，至少要等到兩年後的下一次選舉。

接下來，我們要去喜馬拉雅山。

Himlung Himal is a mountain in Nepal; it's more than 2,300 feet above sea level.

希姆隆峰 Himlung Himal 是尼泊爾的一座山; 它的海拔超過2,300英尺。

That makes it thousands of feet higher than Mount Kilimanjaro or Mount Rainier.

它比非洲最高峰 Mount Kilimanjaro 或美國 Mount Rainier 高出數千英尺。

And a record was recently achieved on Himlung Himal by a climber with a spinal cord injury, even though his team didn't reach its summit.

而最近有位曾經四肢癱瘓的登山者打破了項記錄，儘管他的團隊最終沒有達到其頂峰。

(Ed Jackson just broke the highest vertical ascent record by someone with a spinal cord injury.)

Ed Jackson 打破脊髓損傷者最高攀登的新世界紀錄。

(Jackson achieved the feat on Himlung Himal, a Himalayan mountain reaching 7,126 meters.)

完成攀登尼喜馬拉雅山泊爾希姆隆峰 Himlung Himal, 海拔7,126公尺。

(Jackson was a professional rugby player but broke his neck diving into a swimming pool in 2017.)

2017年，職業橄欖球選手 Ed Jackson 在跳入游泳池時摔斷了脖子。

It rendered me completely paralyzed from the shoulders down.

And I had no movement or sensation return for quite a long time, for well over a week, and I was told that I was never gonna walk again, but I got very lucky.

我有相當長的一段時間動彈不得或有任何感覺，遠遠超過一個星期，也被醫生告知將終生無法行走，但我非常幸運。

And there was enough of my spinal cord still attached that I started to make a recovery.

我的脊髓還剩足夠的脊椎骨，我開始漸漸恢復。

And that 12-month mark, I wanted to set myself a challenge.

在12個月的這段時間裡，我想給自己設定一個挑戰。

I knew that if I put a goal in place, then hopefully, I'll be able to keep motivated to do my rehab.

我知道，如果我把一個目標定好，希望我就能夠保持動力去做復健訓練。

(Jackson is paralyzed in four limbs, but he didn't let this stop his climbing quest.)

Jackson 四肢癱瘓，但他並沒有因此停止攀登。

I said I wanted to climb Snowdon when I was still using two crutches and still very much disabled that it posed a big enough challenge, and I opened it up to anyone who wanted to come and join in, expecting just a few people to turn up.

我說我想攀登Snowdon，當時我還在使用兩根柺杖，而且身體仍然很殘疾，它構成了足夠大的挑戰，我開放邀請任何想來參加的人，原本期望只會有幾個人出現。

But there were 70 people on the start line who I didn't even know who had come for their own different reasons.

但是起跑線上有70個人，我甚至不知道他們是為了什麼各自不同的原因而來。

(His mountaineering dreams reached new heights, as he sets his sights on conquering Himlung Himal.)

(他的登山夢想達到了新的高度，他將目光投向了征服 Himlung Himal。)

I kind of got hooked on mountains after that.

I was just looking for the next highest one of the next highest one, and, yeah, four years later I find myself in the Himalayas.

我只是在尋找下一個最高的山攀登，是的，四年後我發現自己在喜馬拉雅山。

We had to get to over 6,500 meters, and we spent two weeks, actually, on the mountain itself in the most, sort of, remote places you could imagine no electricity.

我們必須爬到6500米以上，我們實際上在山上花了兩個星期，在你能想象的最偏遠的地方，那裡也沒有電。

Like, one day, we... we had leftovers of a yak that had been killed by a snow leopard.

就像有一天，我們的食物是一頭被雪豹殺死的犛牛剩餘的殘骸。

(But as they neared Himlung Himal's summit, disaster struck.)

(但當他們接近 Himlung Himal 的頂峰時，災難發生了。)

We got to about 6,800 meters, which is obviously a new record, but we had to turn around to come back.

我們到達了大約6800米，這顯然是一個新的記錄，但我們不得不往回走。

And by the time we got back down, the snow conditions had changed; our guide fell through a crevasse.

當我們回到山下時，雪況已經改變。我們的嚮導掉進了冰川的裂縫。

So, then, we called for a helicopter rescue, and the helicopters can't fly at night in Nepal because they can't fly above the height of the mountain.

後來我們要求直升機救援，而直升機不能在尼泊爾夜間飛行，因為它們不能不能飛過山的高度。

So, we called them at 6 p.m., and they said, "Sorry, you're gonna have to... you're gonna have to wait till morning."

所以我們在下午六點打電話給他們時，他們說「對不起，你你必須等到早上。」

So, we basically had to dig in and survive a night on the mountain at anywhere between minus 20 and minus 30 degrees without tents, without having eaten or drunk for... for nearly 24 hours.

我們基本上不得不在零下20度到30度之間，在沒有帳篷的情況下，在山上度過一個夜晚，不吃不喝…將近 24 小時。

It's one of those things that you wouldn't choose to repeat, but don't regret

這是你不會選擇再來一次但又不後悔的事情之一。

(His accident and discovery of mountaineering have powerfully shaped his outlook.)

(他的意外事故和登山有力地塑造了他的觀點。)

Just being outside in nature, I think, is incredibly rewarding, incredibly healing.

我認為，僅僅只是處在大自然中是非常有益的，令人難以置信的療癒。

I've found that it's helped me recover mentally and deal with the change that I've gone through.

我發現這有助於我在心理上的恢復和處理我所經歷的變化。

I was resuscitated three times, you know, I died three times in the ambulance after my accident.

我被搶救過三次，你知道，事故發生後我在救護車上死了三次。

And I think realizing how short life can be is obviously gonna give you a big perspective shift⏤it makes you think about what's important in your life.

我認為意識到生命有多麼短暫，顯然會給你一個很大的視角轉變，使你思考生命中什麼是重要的。

And I also realized that I was very lucky to have the support network I had.

我還意識到我很幸運我所擁有來自各方的支持。

So, I wanted to recreate that for other people, people who've been through trauma.

所以我想為其他人，為那些經歷過創傷的人重新創造它。

With his wife, Lois, and friend, Olly Barkley, Jackson co-founded Millimetres 2 Mountains.

Jackson 與妻子 Lois 和朋友 Olly Barkley 共同創立了 Millimeters 2 Mountains。

The charity supports people facing mental health challenges by giving them access to the outdoors.

該慈善機構透過進行戶外活動來支持面臨心理挑戰的人們。

We take people on challenges all over the world.

我們帶領他們應對世界各地的挑戰。

So, this year, we're going to Morocco, Iceland, [and] Nepal.

所以今年，我們要去摩洛哥、冰島和尼泊爾。

And then we put in a three-year development program, which funds life-coaching retraining therapy.

然後我們投入了一項為期三年的發展計劃，資助生活指導再培訓治療。

I hope through what... what I'm doing and what we're doing with the charity and what our beneficiaries are proving can give anyone the hope that they can turn their life around no matter how bleak it might seem in that moment.

我希望通過我所做的事情和我們的慈善事業以及我們的受益人所准許的事情，能夠給任何人帶來希望，使他們能夠扭轉自己的生活，無論那一刻看起來多麼黯淡。

Ding, dong, it's delivery with a lesson about kids and smartphones.

叮咚，這是關於兒童和智慧手機的課程。

A mom in Texas thought her phone was locked, that if her two-year-old son was doing anything on it, he'd be taking pictures.

德州的一位媽媽以為她的手機已鎖住，如果她兩歲的兒子在手機上做任何事情，他就只會拍照。

He was placing an order for cheeseburgers⏤31 of them⏤and with the 16-dollar tip he added, the total came to more than 91 dollars.

他訂購了起司漢堡，一共31個，加上16美元的小費，總額超過了91美元。

The little guy ate half a burger, leaving mom with an expensive but good story and 30.5 cheeseburgers to give away.

這個小傢伙吃了半個漢堡，給媽媽留下一個昂貴但美好的故事和30.5個起司漢堡的贈品。

Let us look at this "medium-rare" event pragmatically.

讓我們務實地看待這個 "五分熟" 的事件。

When you "ketchup" with the boy, you can't have "beef" with the plan the "onion" one cooked up.

當你和男孩 "番茄醬" 時，你不能加入煮熟的 "洋蔥" 來吃 "牛肉"。

Oh, yes, he might've "mustard" an order that cost a lot of "bread", leaving his mom in a "pickle",

哦，是的，他可能已經 "芥末" 了一份花費很多 "麵包" 的訂單，讓他的媽媽陷入了 "泡菜"，

but once everything was said and "well-done", it was all "bun" intentional.

但一旦一切都說完並且 "做得好"，這一切都是故意的。

Today's shout-out takes us to Naples, Maine; it is great to see the students and teachers of Lake Region Middle School watching today.

今天想向那不勒斯緬因州表達致意; 很高興看到湖區中學的學生和老師在觀看。
