Today though, it is Tuesday, November 7th and it's not just any Tuesday, it's the Tuesday after the first Monday of November aka election day here in the United States.

不過今天是 11 月 7 日星期二，這不僅僅是一個普通的星期二，而是 11 月第一個星期一（美國的選舉日）之後的星期二。

Federal elections have historically happened on this day to accommodate farmers across the country. Did you know?

歷史上，聯邦選舉都在這一天舉行，以容納全國各地的農民。 你可知道？

It's after the harvest, but before the weather gets too cold.

在豐收之後，但在天氣變得太冷之前。

Well, people didn't want to travel to the polls on Sundays because of church and Wednesday was a day that a lot of farmers would take their goods to the market to sell.

因為要去教堂，人們不願意在週日去投票站，而週三是很多農民把貨物拿到市場上去賣的日子。

That left Tuesday as one of the most convenient days to hold US elections.

這樣一來，星期二就成了舉行選舉最方便的日子之一。

Those who are heading to the polls today, they won't be voting for president, that's next year.

今天前往投票站的人，他們不會投票選總統，那是明年的事。

But some cities will be voting for mayor and some states will be voting for governor and other legislative and constitutional issues are on the table.

但一些城市將投票選舉市長，一些州將投票選舉州長，其他立法和憲法問題也擺在桌面上。

The outcome of those elections could give a better idea of how Americans are feeling about certain issues ahead of the US presidential election next year.

在明年美國總統大選之前，這些選舉的結果可以更好地反映美國人對某些問題的看法。

新德里、孟買、阿格拉還是加爾各答？

Beginning construction in 1632, the Taj Mahal is located in the city of Agra.

泰姬瑪哈陵建於 1632 年，位於阿格拉市。

The Taj Mahal is considered one of the most beautiful sites in the world.

泰姬瑪哈陵被認為是世界上最美麗的景點之一。

In fact, it was named one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, but it could become more difficult to see and to glimpse this glorious site because of pollution.

事實上，它已被評為世界新七大奇蹟之一，但由於汙染，要想看到和一睹這一輝煌的景點可能會變得更加困難。

It's an unhealthy even hazardous problem for parts of India. Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai were among the 10 most polluted cities on earth this week, according to a Swiss company called IQ Air.

對於印度部分地區來說，這是一個不健康甚至危險的問題，據一家名為 IQ Air 的瑞士公司，德里、加爾各答和孟買是本週全球汙染最嚴重的 10 座城市之一。

Every year when the temperatures drop and farmers burn their fields, the air turns toxic in many Indian cities.

每年，當氣溫下降、農民焚燒田地時，印度許多城市的空氣就會變得有毒。

Delhi is notoriously ranked among the world's most polluted cities.

眾所周知，德里是世界上汙染最嚴重的城市之一。

And the current air quality there has once again reached hazardous conditions, forcing primary schools to temporarily close and many people to work from home or just stay indoors altogether.

而目前當地的空氣質量再次達到了危險的程度，小學被迫暫時停課，許多人不得不在家工作或完全呆在室內。

The problem is so serious (that) a recent air quality life index report says poor air quality could shorten an average Indian's life expectancy by more than five years.

這個問題非常嚴重，以至於最近的一份空氣品質壽命指數報告稱，不良的空氣品質可能會使印度人的平均壽命縮短五年以上。

If World Health Organization guidelines on curbing pollution aren't met and it's even affecting one of the country's favorite pastimes.

如果世界衛生組織關於遏制汙染的指導方針沒有得到遵守，甚至會影響到該國最受歡迎的消遣活動之一。

我們將與一組研究人員一起深入研究我們的下一個故事，探索如此深的水下遺址，需要三個小時才能重新浮出水面。

They're hoping their studies can help us better understand and preserve our oceans.

When you are a diver, you are always curious to go to sea a little bit further.

當你是一名潛水員時，你總是好奇地想去更遠的地方看看。

I think every single diver in the world when you are about to go up, you always have an eye to the depths to the bottom.

Little by little, you want to go deeper because you wonder what are you going to find?

漸漸地，你想深入下去，因為你想知道你會發現什麼？

We are talking about huge ecosystem that covered the entire planet, all the shore everywhere.

我們說的是覆蓋整個地球的巨大生態系統，所有的海岸都是如此。

It's just below 30 meters, 40 meters and there are for sure many species, many different ecosystems that all have a huge importance.

這裡的海拔剛過 30 米 40 米，肯定有許多物種，有許多不同的生態系統，它們都非常重要。

So acquiring a better understanding of the ecology is essential for the conservation of those depths.

因此，更好地了解生態對於保護這些深度至關重要。

With scientists aboard their boat under the pole aims to document these ecosystems for the first time and help preserve their future.

科學家在極地下的船上旨在首次記錄這些生態系統並幫助保護它們的未來。

他們相信明年的地中海航行也會探索類似的生態系統。

In Greece, they already explored the depths with robots, ROVs.

在希臘，他們已經用機器人、遙控潛水器探索了深處。

So they know some fields of black corals but are not able to study it because of the depths because they do not have the divers to do so.

他們知道黑珊瑚的一些領域，但由於深度的原因，他們無法對其進行研究，因為他們沒有潛水員來進行研究。

And I like those missions where there is huge collaborations, you know, with different people that can do together something they cannot do alone or just with their own team.

我喜歡那些有大量合作的任務，你知道，與不同的人可以一起完成一些他們單獨或僅與自己的團隊無法完成的事情。

Our mission is really to make the invisible visible, even if it's deep, even if it's very far away, like in the polar regions, we need this place and we need to protect it.

我們的使命其實是讓不可見的東西變得可見，即使它很深，即使它非常遙遠，比如在極地地區，我們需要這個地方，我們需要保護它。
