My name is Carl Azuz, and our objective coverage of world events begins in China.

我的名字是 Carl Azuz，我們針對世界事件的客觀報導從中國開始。

Government media there say more than 100,000 people took part in an emergency online meeting this week.

當地政府媒體指出，超過 10 萬人參與了本週一場緊急線上會議。

The focus?

重點呢？

How to help the Chinese economy⏤the second largest in the world⏤as it struggles from the communist country's response to the ongoing COVID pandemic.

如何在中國這個共產主義國家掙扎地因應持續的新冠疫情之餘，幫助世界上第二大的經濟體系。

While many other nations are learning to live with the disease, China has maintained a strict zero-COVID policy.

當許多其它國家正在學習與病毒共存時，中國堅守嚴格的零新冠政策。

And what that tries to do is crush every chain of covid transmission.

該政策旨在粉碎新冠病毒的每一個傳播鏈。

That includes mandatory quarantines, quick lockdowns, closed borders, mass testing, and contact tracing, which follows people wherever they go.

那包括強制隔離、快速封鎖、關閉邊界、大規模檢測以及接觸者追蹤，無論人們走到哪裡都會被追蹤。

But a growing side effect of this is that it's hurting China's economic growth.

但這個情況下持續加劇的副作用是，它損害了中國的經濟成長。

International investment banks expect it'll be significantly less this year than it was last year.

國際投資銀行預期今年的成長將大幅低於去年。

At the meeting, China's government announced dozens of new efforts to stimulate the economy, including more tax refunds, loans to small businesses, and emergency loans to industries that are struggling.

在這次會議中，中國政府宣佈了數十項刺激經濟的新努力，包括提升退稅額、小企業貸款，以及提供緊急貸款給掙扎中的行業。

But though some of China's COVID rules are being relaxed, the nation's still pushing forward with the controversial zero-COVID policy.

儘管中國一些新冠規範正在放寬，但該國仍持續推進有爭議的零新冠政策

And that's created immense challenges during the Omicron variant of the disease because, while it's less severe than other versions of coronavirus, it's more contagious.

那在新冠變異株 Omicron 疫情期間引發了巨大挑戰，因為它雖然嚴重程度不及其它新冠病毒變異，但它的傳染性更強。

CNN estimates that China's restrictions are impacting 220 million people across the country, here's how.

CNN 估計中國的限制影響了全國上下 2.2 億人口，影響方式如下。

This is part of my daily routine in Beijing.

這是我在北京日常生活的一部分。

Getting my temperature check⏤mandatory testing for the city's 20 million plus residents.

測量我的體溫，這是城裡 2 千萬名以上居民的強制檢測。

I've got to show them my passport, and they have to type it in every single time.

我得出示我的護照，而他們每次都必須鍵入資訊。

In Beijing, nearly all public activity has been halted indefinitely, over just a few dozen daily COVID cases.

在北京，幾乎所有的公共活動都被無限期地終止，只因為每天數十起的新冠確診案例。

Not a soul in sight in the center of Beijing's luxury shopping district.

北京的奢侈品商圈空無一人。

All non-essential stores have been shut down, including schools and gyms, and all in-restaurant dining is banned indefinitely.

所有非必需品商店都已關閉，包括學校和健身房裡，而餐廳內用餐也被無限期禁止。

The only crowds in Beijing are parades of COVID workers, spraying disinfectant all over the streets.

在北京唯一可以看到的群眾是在大街小巷噴灑消毒劑的一群群新冠工作人員。

Officials here are cracking down early and aggressively to try and avoid the failures of the months-long lockdown in Shanghai.

本地官員希望及早並積極地行動，嘗試避免上海數月長封鎖的失敗狀況。

So, it's green; I'm good to go in.

顯示為綠色，我可以進場了。

I need this green code to enter any area in Beijing.

我需要有這個綠色代碼才能進入北京任一個場合。

If it turns red, then I could be stuck at home or sent to quarantine.

Through these smartphone apps, authorities can carefully track the movements of virtually all of China's 1.4 billion people.

透過這些應用程式，當局可以仔細追蹤中國 14 億人口幾乎所有人的行動。

If a COVID case is later found at this grocery store, authorities can quickly contact trace and figure out whose code needs to turn red.

如果稍後在這間雜貨店發現新冠確診案例，當局能夠很快地進行接觸者追蹤並釐清誰的代碼需要轉紅。

Grocery shelves here fully-stocked.

這裡架上的雜貨充足。

Beijing officials clearly trying to show people that no matter how long this partial lockdown lasts for, people are going to be fed.

很明顯地，北京官員希望讓民眾知道，不管這個部分封鎖政策持續多久，人民都能夠飽腹。

It's not gonna be like in Shanghai, where people have been struggling to get enough food and daily essentials in lockdown.

情況不會跟上海一樣，人民在封鎖期間要獲得足夠糧食與日常必備品非常艱難。

This is a building where a positive COVID case has been found; you can see the workers in hazmat suits, the blue barrier around the building.

這是一棟出現新冠確診案例的建築，你可以看到穿著防護衣的工作人員以及建築物周圍的藍色屏障。

This is to keep the people who live there locked inside, but it also serves as a warning to other residents.

這目的是將建築住戶封鎖在內，但也是給其他居民的一個警告。

There is a fear that if you spend too much time by a locked-down building, your QR code could turn red.

有人擔心如果在被封鎖的建築物周圍逗留太久，二維碼可能會變成紅色。

This is just one of the many high-risk areas in Beijing.

這只是北京眾多高風險地區之一。

Residents avoid even transiting through the red dots on the map.

居民們甚至會避免過境地圖上標記紅點處。

It's lunchtime in Beijing's most popular food district.

現在是北京最受歡迎美食區的午餐時間。

Normally, people here would be gathered, crowded shoulder-to-shoulder, but now, it is essentially a ghost town.

正常情況下，人們會肩並肩地聚集在這裡，但它現在基本上是一座廢棄城鎮。

With even most parks closed, there's nowhere for people to gather and see friends, except for by the side of the road and these unofficial public spaces.

連多數公園都關閉的狀況下，除了路邊和一些非官方的公共空間之外，沒有人們可以聚集和見朋友的地方。

And even here, there are signs reminding people to avoid crowds and security guards on the loudspeakers telling people to distance themselves.

即使是在這裡，也有提醒人們避開人群的標誌以及在擴音器上提醒人們保持距離的警衛。

But after more than two years of these on-and-off restrictions, people are getting frustrated.

但在經歷超過兩年的間歇限制後，人們開始感到挫敗。

A student protest even broke out at one of China's most prestigious universities over harsh COVID policies.

中國最享盛譽的大學之一甚至爆發了針對嚴厲新冠政策的學生抗議。

Every part of our days are tracked and surveilled.

我們日常生活的每一部分都被追蹤並監控。

People are concerned that this control is here to stay long after COVID is gone.

人們擔心這樣的控制會在新冠疫情結束後長遠存在。

10-second trivia: Which of these American car brands is the oldest?

10 秒快問快答：下列美國車輛品牌何者最老？

Cadillac, Chevrolet, Ford, or Lincoln.

凱迪拉克、雪佛蘭、福特或是林肯。

Cadillac rolled onto the scene in 1902, making it the oldest car maker on this list.

凱迪拉克於 1902 年出現在市場上，使其成為名單上最老的汽車製造商。

The average car in America is now a teenager.

現在美國一般的車輛都是青少年。

Let me explain.

讓我解釋一下。

Americans are holding on to their vehicles longer than ever.

美國人持有車輛的時間比以往任何時候都長。

This is according to S&P Global Mobility, which examines data from automotive markets.

這是標普全球車輛數據資料，它觀測汽車市場的相關數據。

Now, the average car on the road is just over 13 years old, which means many are much older and the average light truck is about 11.5 years old.

現在道路上的平均車齡稍微超過 13 歲，這表示很多車輛都比那老舊，而輕型卡車的平均車齡約為 11.5 歲。

So, combined, the vehicles we commonly drive are over 12.

結合以上，我們一般駕駛的車輛都超過 12 歲。

Analysts say there are several reasons.

分析家們說有幾個原因。

For one thing, there's an ongoing shortage of computer chips and car parts for new vehicles⏤that's hurt their sales and driven prices up.

首先，製造新車輛的電腦晶片以及零件持續出現短缺，損害了它們的銷量並讓價格上漲。

The used-car market has been affected.

二手車市場也受到波及。

Prices for previously-owned vehicles hit an all-time high early this year, though they've dropped a little since then.

二手車輛價格在今年稍早達到歷史新高，不過在那之後有小幅下跌。

Analysts say some cars are lasting longer than they used to, so people don't need to get rid of them.

分析師表示，有些車輛的壽命比以往更長，所以人們不需要將它們丟棄。

And junkyards are reporting their lowest scrap rate in decades.

而垃圾場也回報了它們數十年來最低的報廢品量。

So, people are putting more miles on what they have.

結論是，人們在現有的車輛上疊加了更高的里程數。

In rocket-launching news, you hear a lot about SpaceX.

提到火箭發射的新聞，你會聽到很多關於 SpaceX 的消息。

There's another private American company⏤one of its competitors that has also received billions in funding from NASA.

還有一間美國私營公司從 NASA 獲得數十億美元的補助，它是 SpaceX 的競爭對手之一。

That company is Boeing.

那間公司就是波音公司。

It also makes passenger planes, and its Starliner spacecraft just completed its first successful mission to the International Space Station.

它也建造客機，而它的「星際航線」太空船剛成功完成前往國際太空站的首趟飛行任務。

It returned to Earth this week in the desert of New Mexico; this was an uncrewed mission.

這是一趟無人的飛行任務，本週重返地球，在新墨西哥州沙漠降落。

Boeing hopes to send up astronauts by the end of the year, but it still has challenges to overcome.

波音公司希望在今年底前送宇航員進太空，但它仍有需要克服的挑戰。

In this flight, there were problems with some of its thrusters, which help maneuver Starliner in space.

在此次航行，它幫助在太空中操控星際航線的幾個推進器出現了問題。

Three... two... one... and lift off.

三⋯⋯二⋯⋯一⋯⋯發射。

Starliner is headed back to space on the shoulders of Atlas, powered by a workforce dedicated to its success.

星際航線踩著巨人的肩膀重返宇宙，由一群致力於它的成功的團隊推動。

(A 2019 launch was forced to return to Earth because Starliner's internal clock was off by 11 hours)

（2019 年的一次發射因為星際航線內部時鐘偏差 11 小時而被迫返航回地球）

(In 2021, sticking valves caused a launch to be scratched before the Starliner was sent back to the Boeing factory to be fixed)

（2021 年時，卡住的閥門使得一次發射計劃被取消，隨後星際航線被送回波音工廠維修）

... two... one...

⋯⋯二⋯⋯一⋯⋯

... zero... ignition. (In the time Boeing took to have its first successful uncrewed launch, SpaceX has had six astronaut launches for NASA)

⋯⋯零⋯⋯點火。 （在波音公司嘗試讓第一次無人任務成功發射期間，SpaceX 已為 NASA 執行了 6 次載人發射任務）

(One NASA official said that because it was used to the Boeing process, it focused a little more on SpaceX and its non-traditional approach)

（一位 NASA 官員表示，因為它太習慣波音流程，所以反而更專注於 SpaceX 以及其非典型作法）

(And another NASA official admitted not enough about Starliner was understood⏤Source: "The New York Times")

（另一位 NASA 官員則承認對於星際航線的了解還不夠。來源：《紐約時報》）

Hard to think of a better story for our "10 out of 10" segment than a shark-cano.

對於「10 秒趣聞」這個環節，很難想到比「鯊火山」更好的故事了。

Yeah, a shark-cano.

沒錯，一座鯊火山。

A NASA satellite recently photographed a plume of discolored water in the Pacific Ocean.

一架 NASA 衛星近期在大平洋海域中捕捉到了變色成煙霧貌的水域影像。

Scientists say this is where an undersea volcano in the Solomon Islands is continuously erupting, and an expedition here in 2015 found that the crater is home to silky and hammerhead sharks.

科學家們說，這是索羅門群島中一座海底火山不斷噴發的區域，而 2015 年一次在這裡的考察發現這個火山口是黑鯊與鎚頭鯊的棲息地。

They're apparently able to tolerate the hot and acidic water, so, it's a shark-cano.

牠們顯然能夠承受炎熱且酸性的海水，所以稱之為鯊火山。

You'd have to be pretty "cal-daring" to swim down there.

你必須要有相當大的膽量才會游往那裡。

Few things are "crater" than a shark that gives "vent" to its "rage".

沒有幾件事比發洩怒氣的鯊魚還重大的。

No one would have to ask you to "lava".

可不會有人要求涉險。

You wouldn't lack a list of reasons to quit being "sill" and swim from the "hill" like "mag-mama" told you to.

要你別再傻、趕快聽媽媽的話游離火山的原因條列不盡。

I'm Carl Azuz, and that takes a "bite" out of our last show of the season.
