We've got your news for you this Tuesday, November 12th.

本週二（11 月 12 日），我們將為您播報新聞。

Remember to submit your unique vocabulary words for tomorrow's Your Word Wednesday.

記得為明天的 "你的單詞星期三 "提交你的獨特詞彙。

Put your school name, your word, and definition in the comment section of my most recent post on my at coywire social accounts, and we'll choose one winner to work into tomorrow's show. All right, we've got lots to get to, so let's hop right into it, starting with U.S. politics, where the balance of power in the nation's capital is nearly set.

請將你的學校名稱、你的單詞和定義寫在我最近在 coywire 社交賬號上發表的文章的評論區，我們將選出一位獲勝者，在明天的節目中播出。好了，我們還有很多事情要做，讓我們馬上進入正題，從美國政治開始，美國首都的權力平衡幾乎已經確定。

Ballots are still being counted in a number of congressional races, and even with some races still undecided in the Senate, CNN projects that Republicans will now control the chamber with at least 52 out of the 100 seats.

一些國會選舉的選票仍在統計中，即使參議院的一些選舉仍未決出結果，CNN 預計共和黨現在將控制參議院 100 個席位中的至少 52 席。

The party will need to choose a new Senate majority leader before the new Congress convenes in January. The Senate takeover was the first big election night success for Republicans, flipping seats in Ohio, West Virginia, and Montana.

該黨需要在 1 月份新一屆國會召開前選出新的參議院多數黨領袖。接管參議院是共和黨在選舉之夜取得的第一個重大勝利，他們在俄亥俄州、西弗吉尼亞州和蒙大拿州翻轉了席位。

It's a big victory for the party, which hasn't had a majority in the chamber since 2021.

這對該黨來說是一次重大勝利，因為自 2021 年以來，該黨就沒有在議會中獲得過多數席位。

There are still two Senate races still to be declared, those in Arizona and Pennsylvania.

還有兩場參議院競選尚未宣佈，分別是亞利桑那州和賓夕法尼亞州的競選。

On the other side of Washington, D.C., the fate of the House of Representatives remains up in the air.

在華盛頓特區的另一邊，眾議院的命運仍然懸而未決。

Republicans are trying to defend their narrow majority there, and CNN has not yet projected winners in more than a dozen House races. Meanwhile, American voters chose former President Donald Trump to be the 47th president of the United States.

共和黨人正試圖捍衛他們在眾議院的微弱多數，CNN 尚未預測十多場眾議院競選的勝出者。與此同時，美國選民選擇前總統唐納德-特朗普成為美國第 47 任總統。

Trump and his team are working on building the president-elect's administration at his Florida property in Mar-a-Lago.

特朗普和他的團隊正在佛羅里達州的馬阿拉歌（Mar-a-Lago）建立當選總統的政府。

So far, Mr. Trump's campaign manager, Susie Wiles, has been named as White House Chief of Staff.

到目前為止，特朗普先生的競選經理蘇西-懷爾斯已被任命為白宮辦公廳主任。

Ms. Wiles will become the first woman to ever hold that title.

懷爾斯女士將成為有史以來第一位擔任這一職務的女性。

President-elect Trump will travel to Washington, D.C. this week to meet with President Biden. Before Inauguration Day, states have until December 11th to confirm their Electoral College votes before electors officially cast their 538 Electoral College votes.

當選總統特朗普本週將前往華盛頓特區與拜登總統會面。在就職日之前，各州必須在 12 月 11 日之前確認其選舉團選票，然後選舉人才能正式投出其 538 張選舉團選票。

Now, once all races are determined, the new Congress will be sworn in on January 3rd, and then both chambers will count electoral votes on January 6th.

現在，一旦所有競選結果確定，新一屆國會將於 1 月 3 日宣誓就職，然後參眾兩院將於 1 月 6 日計算選舉人票。

With Republicans set to control the presidency, the Senate, and possibly the House of Representatives, the GOP will be in prime position to back the future Trump administration's agenda.

隨著共和黨將控制總統、參議院，甚至可能控制眾議院，共和黨將處於支持未來特朗普政府議程的有利位置。

CNN's Manu Raju joins us now to break it down further. Republicans have an edge in holding on to the House, barely.

CNN記者馬努-拉吉（Manu Raju）將為您進一步報道。共和黨在勉強保住眾議院方面佔據優勢。

They may barely hang on to power, but there are still votes that are left to be counted.

他們可能會勉強保住政權，但仍有選票有待計算。

And that's because right now, to get to the magic number, that's 218 seats, they only need, Republicans do, to five more wins.

因為現在，要達到218個席位的神奇數字，共和黨人只需要再贏五場。

Democrats, however, need to flip five Republican districts.

不過，民主黨需要翻轉五個共和黨選區。

Much more difficult, especially since they are only leading in two Republican districts.

難度要大得多，尤其是他們只在兩個共和黨選區領先。

Republicans, meanwhile, are leading in two Democratic districts.

與此同時，共和黨在兩個民主黨選區處於領先地位。

So, if that holds, the Democrats are most likely going to be in the minority.

是以，如果這種情況成立，民主黨很可能會成為少數派。

And that, of course, would be a huge letdown for their party.

這當然會讓他們的政黨大失所望。

They thought they were going to carry districts from Iowa to Nebraska to New York to California.

他們以為自己能拿下從愛荷華州到內布拉斯加州再到紐約州和加利福尼亞州的選區。

They left a bunch of Republican wins, pickup opportunities, on the table.

他們讓共和黨贏得了很多勝利，也讓他們失去了很多機會。

That's what's going to cause a lot of hand-wringing, blame game of sorts, potentially at the top of the ticket to some Democrats' down ticket, outperforming Kamala Harris' performance in some of those battleground districts.

這將會引起大量的手忙腳亂和指責遊戲，有可能在票面上對一些民主黨人的票面下風，在一些戰場地區的表現超過卡馬拉-哈里斯的表現。

But at the moment, those votes still yet to be counted. One thing is for certain, though.

但目前，這些選票仍未計算在內。但有一點是肯定的。

Republicans will have the majority in the Senate, 52 seats at least, a couple of seats yet to be called, potentially adding one more seat to see how the Pennsylvania Senate race turns out here.

共和黨將在參議院中佔多數，至少有52個席位，還有幾個席位尚未確定，有可能再增加一個席位，看看賓夕法尼亞州參議院的競選結果如何。

And another big question for Republicans, who will lead this new majority?

對於共和黨人來說，另一個大問題是，誰將上司這個新的多數派？

Because Mitch McConnell, the longtime Senate Republican leader, the longest-serving Senate leader in the history of the Senate, is stepping aside from his leadership post.

因為米奇-麥康奈爾（Mitch McConnell），這位長期擔任參議院共和黨領袖、參議院歷史上任職時間最長的參議院領袖，即將卸任領導職務。

That means there are several candidates who are vying to replace him, three specifically Senator John Cornyn, Senator John Thune, Senator Rick Scott. Next, we're going to take a look at a situation happening in Southeast Asia where two neighbors, India and Pakistan, are dealing with extreme pollution that's affecting the lives of millions of people.

這意味著有幾位候選人正在角逐接替他的職位，其中三位分別是參議員約翰-科寧（John Cornyn）、參議員約翰-圖恩（John Thune）和參議員裡克-斯科特（Rick Scott）。接下來，我們將看看東南亞發生的情況，印度和巴基斯坦這兩個鄰國正在應對影響數百萬人生活的極端汙染。

Air quality typically worsens in that region in the wintertime because cold air traps particulates billowing up during crop burning or those that come out of vehicles and power plants.

該地區冬季的空氣質量通常會惡化，因為冷空氣會捕獲農作物焚燒或車輛和發電廠產生的微粒。

The pollution recently got so bad that it registered three times higher than levels on the IQ Air Index that are considered hazardous.

最近，汙染情況變得非常嚴重，比被視為有害的 IQ 空氣指數高出三倍。

Pakistan's government is calling for climate diplomacy with India so the two countries can address the issue.

巴基斯坦政府呼籲與印度開展氣候外交，以便兩國能夠解決這一問題。

CNN's Sophia Sethi shows us more. The traffic is still flowing in Lahore.

CNN 的索菲亞-塞西（Sophia Sethi）為我們帶來更多報道。拉合爾的車流依然川流不息。

The government officials are urging people to stay at home.

For a city that often ranks as one of the worst in the world for air pollution, face masks are mandatory.

對於一個經常被列為世界空氣汙染最嚴重城市之一的城市來說，戴口罩是必須的。

A thin shield against the skyrocketing amount of pollutants in the air.

薄薄的防護罩，抵禦空氣中飆升的汙染物。

The city's air quality index stopped 1000 again last week.

上週，我市空氣質量指數再次止步 1000。

That's an unprecedented level as the IQ Air Index defines hazardous as anything over 301.

這是一個前所未有的水準，因為 IQ 空氣指數將超過 301 的空氣定義為危險空氣。

Many public spaces like zoos, parks and historic monuments have been closed, along with many schools which have shifted to online classes for at least another week.

許多公共場所，如動物園、公園和歷史古蹟都已關閉，許多學校也已轉為在線課程，至少再關閉一週。

每個人都有權呼吸潔淨的空氣。

Everyone has a right to enjoy seeing the sun.

Some types of tuk-tuks and barbecue restaurants have been banned.

某些類型的嘟嘟車和燒烤店已被禁止。

But the smog is a recurring problem, especially at this time of the year, when particles from low-grade diesel fumes and crop burning get trapped in the cold air.

但是，煙霧是一個反覆出現的問題，尤其是在每年的這個時候，低等級機油煙霧和農作物燃燒產生的微粒會滯留在冷空氣中。

And some residents say that the closures aren't stopping that.

而一些居民說，關閉並不能阻止這一切。

They have closed schools that don't create the smog.

他們已經關閉了不會產生煙霧的學校。

They have not closed the factories and brick kilns.

They are now closing the things which create the smog.

他們現在正在關閉製造煙霧的設備。

Delhi's air has also reached hazardous levels in recent days, though some residents are still exercising outdoors.

最近幾天，德里的空氣也達到了危險水準，儘管一些居民仍在戶外鍛鍊。

The World Health Organization says breathing toxic air is harmful and can cause strokes, heart diseases, and respiratory infections.

世界衛生組織稱，呼吸有毒空氣是有害的，可導致中風、心臟病和呼吸道感染。

One clinic in New Delhi says there is a 20 to 25 percent rise in patients, especially after the Diwali holiday, when people set off illegal fireworks.

新德里的一家診所說，患者人數增加了 20% 到 25%，尤其是在排燈節假期之後，因為人們會燃放非法煙花。

Sore throats, burning eyes, and troubled breathing are common complaints.

喉嚨痛、眼睛灼熱和呼吸困難是常見的症狀。

I have been taking medicines, but there is no relief.

我一直在吃藥，但沒有任何緩解。

Officials in New Delhi began a trial program recently to spray water from drones to clear away dust and pollutants.

新德里的官員最近開始了一項試驗計劃，用無人機噴水來清除灰塵和汙染物。

And the smog problem in South Asia is in need of more long-term solutions. Last week, we saw how the famous Trevi Fountain's renovation has some tourists in Rome working around barriers for photo ops and has them doing the traditional coin toss into a makeshift pool.

而南亞的霧霾問題則需要更長期的解決方案。上週，我們看到了著名的許願池翻新工程如何讓羅馬的一些遊客繞過障礙拍照留念，並讓他們在一個臨時水池中進行傳統的拋硬幣活動。

But it turns out, thanks to renovations, some visitors will get the chance of a lifetime to see the masterpiece up close.

但事實證明，由於進行了翻修，一些遊客將獲得近距離欣賞這一傑作的千載難逢的機會。

CNN's Barbie Latsanado shows us how it's all part of a plan to study the crowds that visit the iconic landmark. The Trevi Fountain behind me is normally gurgling with water, into which millions of tourists throw coins each year.

美國有線電視新聞網（CNN）的芭比-拉薩納多（Barbie Latsanado）向我們展示了這一切是如何成為研究參觀這座地標性建築的人群的計劃的一部分。我身後的許願池通常水流潺潺，每年有數百萬遊客向其投擲硬幣。

But thanks to a massive renovation project worth more than $300,000 that includes cleaning and scrubbing up of calcium rust and dirt, this iconic fountain is dry.

但是，由於進行了價值 30 多萬美元的大規模翻新工程，包括清理和擦洗鈣鏽和汙垢，這個標誌性噴泉已經乾涸。

You know where the water should be is this metal walkway that is going to offer the tourists who come here a rare opportunity to take an intimate look at this 18th century masterpiece. The fountain's last cleaning and repair began in 2014 and took more than a year.

要知道，水的位置應該是這條金屬人行道，它將為來到這裡的遊客提供一次難得的機會，近距離欣賞這一 18 世紀的傑作。噴泉最後一次清洗和維修始於 2014 年，歷時一年多。

But increasingly, hot temperatures and a steady growth in tourism traffic have also led to the erosion of some of the basin.

但是，炎熱的氣溫和持續增長的旅遊流量也導致了盆地的一些侵蝕。

The Trevi Project is one of many conservation and renovation projects slated to finish in time for the kick-off of the Vatican's holy jubilee year of 2025, which will draw millions more visitors than usual to the Eternal City's popular sites. Pop Quiz Hotshot!

特雷維項目是眾多保護和翻新項目中的一個，這些項目將在 2025 年梵蒂岡神聖禧年開幕前完成，屆時將有數百萬遊客前往永恆之城的著名景點。流行問答熱門人物！

A group of penguins in water is called a raft, but what are they called on land?

一群企鵝在水裡被稱為 "筏"，但在陸地上又叫什麼呢？

成群結隊、蹣跚學步、魅力四射，還是簇擁在一起？

Named after the distinctive walk of a penguin, the collective noun for a group of penguins on land is a waddle of penguins. Alright, for today's story, getting a 10 out of 10, what do you call a penguin on a sandy beach?

以企鵝獨特的行走方式命名，陸地上一群企鵝的集合名詞是 "蹣跚的企鵝"（waddle of penguins）。好了，今天的故事，滿分 10 分，你怎麼稱呼沙灘上的企鵝？

This emperor penguin was found isolated on a beach in Western Australia, more than 2,000 miles from its home in Antarctica.

這隻帝企鵝是在西澳大利亞的海灘上被發現的，距離它在南極洲的家有 2000 多英里，與世隔絕。

Conservation officials said it most likely followed a northward current a bit too far while looking for food.

保護官員說，它很可能是在尋找食物時順著北流走得太遠了。

Apparently, directions got frost in translation.

顯然，在翻譯方向時出了差錯。

Poor thing looked malnourished when they found him, but he's now in the capable hands of a local wildlife caretaker.

可憐的小傢伙被發現時看起來營養不良，不過它現在在當地野生動物看護人的精心照料下。
