You're off to great places, today is your day, your mountain is waiting, so, get on your way.

你會去偉大的地方、今天是你的好運日、山巒在等待著你，所以，上路吧！

各位，這是引用蘇斯博士的話，怎麼能不愛呢！

Today's top story is taking us to Israel.

今天的頭條新聞帶領我們前往以色列。

Unprecedented wave of protests and strikes is bringing the country to the brink of a shutdown.

前所未見的抗議和罷工浪潮正使該國處於崩潰邊緣。

For months, hundreds of thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets, protesting changes to Israel's legal system.

數月以來，數十萬以色列人民走上街頭，抗議以色列法律制度的變化。

But over the weekend, tensions rose higher when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suddenly fired the country's defense minister who'd called for a pause in the government's judicial reform efforts.

但在上週末以色列總理班傑明·納坦雅胡突然解僱呼籲政府暫停司法改革工作的國防部長後，使得緊張局勢加劇。

The country's proposed overhaul would give Israel's parliament more control over the judiciary,

該國提議的改革將賦予以色列議會更大的司法控制權，

including how judges are selected, what laws the Supreme Court can rule on, and it would also give the power to the government to overturn Supreme Court rulings.

包括如何挑選法官、最高法院可以裁決哪些法律，而且它還將賦予政府推翻最高法院判決的權力。

Critics say these changes threaten the country's democracy, removing checks and balances on the government, saying that there is no check on the government's power other than the Supreme Court.

批評者說，這些變化會威脅國家的民主，取消對政府的制衡，並表示除了最高法院之外，沒有任何對政府權力的制約。

Critics worry that if politicians have more control, the rights of minorities in Israel, especially Palestinians, would suffer.

批評者擔心，如果政治家擁有更多控制權，以色列少數民族的權利會受影響，其中巴勒斯坦人更甚。

The government maintains that it received a mandate to pass this reform when it was elected last November.

政府則堅稱在去年 11 月當選時，便已獲得通過這項改革的授權。

And Netanyahu and his supporters argue that they've called for reform because Israel's judiciary has no written constitution, only a set of basic laws, making the Supreme Court too powerful.

而納坦雅胡和其支持者辯稱，他們之所以要求改革，是因為以色列的司法機構沒有成文的憲法，只有一套基本法律，使得最高法院的權力過大。

They also say the Supreme Court doesn't represent the Israeli people and that it has overstepped its bounds on certain issues.

他們也表示，最高法院並為代表以色列人民，並且在某些議題上已經越權了。

Protest organizers said that they would continue to intensify demonstrations until the legislation was halted.

抗議組織者說，他們將繼續加強示威活動，直到立法被停止。

And, seemingly in an effort to bring down tensions, a deal to postpone the government's judicial reform efforts was reached yesterday afternoon.

似乎是為了平息緊張局勢，昨天下午達成了一項延後政府司法改革工作的協議。

各位可以前往 CNN.com 了解最新消息。

Which of these names translates to "snow-covered mountains"?

下列哪個名字的翻譯是「被雪覆蓋的山脈」？

Pyrenees, Sierra Madre, Appalachian, or Sierra Nevada.

Pyrenees（比利牛斯山犬）、Sierra Madre（馬德雷山脈）、Appalachian（阿帕拉契山脈）或 Sierra Nevada（內華達山脈）。

In Spanish, Sierra means "mountain range", Nevada means "snow-clad".

在西班牙文中，Sierra 表示「山脈」、Nevada 表示「大雪覆蓋的」 。

California has been through it when it comes to weather.

講到氣候，加州什麼都經歷過了。

For the last three years, the state has been in a desperate need of rain⏤

過去三年以來，該州一直處於極需雨水的狀態，

just a month ago, about 33 million people were facing what's been called a "megadrought".

僅僅一個月前，約 3 千 3 百萬人面臨了所謂的「特大乾旱」。

Atmospheric rivers, or narrow corridors of intense moisture in the atmosphere, dumping record rain and snowfall across the state has led to flooding, mudslides, and more.

大氣河流（或大氣中強烈濕氣形成的狹窄走廊）在全州的傾盆大雨和降雪導致洪水、泥石流等現象。

Our CNN meteorologist Ali Chinchar is here to take us on a tour of the Sierra Nevada and break it all down for us, also telling us how much rain and snow we're talking about.

我們 CNN 氣象學家 Ali Chinchar 現在現場連線，帶領我們前往內華達山脈並為我們進行分析，說明究竟是有多少降雨和降雪。

Coy, it has been a record-breaking season of snowfall across the Sierras this year.

Coy，今年全山脈區的降雪量是破紀錄的一季。

Take a look at this video; the snowfall piling up as high as a two-story house, and then some.

看看這個片段，積雪達到了至少兩層高。

This video is even taken back on February 28th, and they've had even more snow since then.

這部影片是 2 月 28 日拍攝的，在那之後還有更多的降雪。

But here's the thing about the Sierras: It's broken into three separate categories.

山脈區有一個狀況：它被區分為三個不同地域。

You have the Northern, the Central, and the Southern region of the Sierras, and all three of them, when you look, have actually been very impressive this year.

山脈有北部、中部和南部地區，當你研究時，會發現這三個地區今年實際上都非常令人印象深刻。

But, specifically, the Southern Sierra is picking up 286% of their snow water equivalent.

但更特定地說，山脈南區的雪水當量已經到了 286%。

Basically, what it is, it takes into account all the snowpack that's on the ground.

基本上它就是考量到地面上的所有積雪。

But then, if you melted it, what would the water equivalent be?

但是如果你把它融化，會等於多少量的水？

And in the case of the Southern Sierras, it's been record-breaking snow water equivalent.

而山脈南區的狀況是，它的雪水當量已經打破記錄。

But how does this year compare to other years in the past?

但是，今年與過往年份相比如何？

This year has been extremely impressive⏤228% of normal for that snow water equivalent.

今年的數字令人印象極為深刻，雪水當量為正常值的 228%。

When you look back at the previous years, they haven't even made it to normal amounts, let alone the impressive amount that we've had so far this year.

當你回顧往年時，這個數字甚至沒有達到正常值，更不用說我們截至目前看到的驚人數值了。

But one thing to note is the impact it's had on the drought.

但需要注意的一點是，它對於乾旱的衝擊。

Now, when you get numerous systems like this⏤and we've had at least a dozen atmospheric river events back to back, basically⏤all of that water has to go somewhere.

當你有無數這樣的系統時（而我們基本上接連看到了至少 12 起大氣層河流事件），這些水都必須有個去處。

It's not just the rain coming down from the sky, but it melts some of that snowpack.

不僅僅是天上的降雨，還有降雨融化的積雪。

And then, all of that water flows into rivers, creeks, and streams, and also, onto roadways, into homes, into businesses,

接著，這些水都會流向河川、溪流、小河，還有道路上、家園中、商店內，

because those rivers, creeks, and streams end up becoming swollen, and it's too much for the ground to absorb all at once.

因為那些河川、溪流、小河都會飽和過度，多到土壤無法一次吸收。

Now, in the short term, however, though, this has been very beneficial for the short-term drought.

不過短期而言，這對短期乾旱現象非常有益。

Look at California just back on December 6th, when we had the extreme and exceptional drought categories.

看看 12 月 6 日時的加州，當時出現了極端且特殊的乾旱狀況。

Fast forward to just a few days ago, not a single portion of California is in those exceptional and extreme drought categories anymore.

快轉到僅僅幾天前，加州沒有任何一個角落還是處於那種極端、特殊的乾旱中。
