Eighty years ago, on the 6th of August 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima.

80 年前的 1945 年 8 月 6 日，美國向日本城市廣島投下了一顆原子彈。

The aim was to force a quick end to World War Two.

其目的是迫使第二次世界大戰儘快結束。

The bomb destroyed the city of Hiroshima and about 140,000 people were killed.

原子彈摧毀了廣島市，約有 14 萬人喪生。

In Nagasaki, another Japanese city hit by an atomic bomb by the US three days later.

三天後，在長崎，另一座被美國原子彈擊中的日本城市。

The nuclear radiation released by the bombs caused thousands more people to die from radiation sickness in the weeks, months and years that followed.

在隨後的幾周、幾個月和幾年裡，原子彈釋放的核輻射又導致成千上萬人死於輻射病。

Hiroshima was the world's first nuclear attack and nuclear weapons have not been used in warfare since the end of World War Two.

廣島是世界上第一次核攻擊，自第二次世界大戰結束後，核武器再未用於戰爭。

Our first headline is about the 80th anniversary of the bomb.

我們的第一個頭條新聞是關於原子彈爆炸 80 週年。

So this headline marks 80 years since the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.

這則新聞標題標誌著廣島原子彈爆炸 80 週年。

We're interested in the word reimagining.

我們對 "重新想象 "這個詞很感興趣。

What can you tell us about reimagining, Beth?

關於 "重新想象"，貝絲，你能告訴我們些什麼？

That means to form a picture in your mind of what something could be like.

這意味著在你的腦海中形成一幅圖畫，想象某件事可能是什麼樣子。

So when you reimagine something, you imagine it again, but in a new and different way.

是以，當你重新想象某件事情時，你會再次想象它，只不過是以一種全新的、不同的方式。

Yes, so the headline says reimagining peace.

是的，標題上寫著 "重新想象和平"。

So it means thinking about how to achieve peace in a new and different way, especially in relation to war and nuclear weapons.

是以，這意味著要思考如何以一種新的、不同的方式實現和平，特別是在戰爭和核武器方面。

And we can use reimagine for other situations, can't we, Beth?

我們還可以在其他情況下使用 "重新想象"，不是嗎，貝絲？

So, for example, in film and TV, directors often reimagine a classic story.

是以，例如在電影和電視中，導演往往會重新想象一個經典故事。

So that means the characters or parts of the story might be updated to suit modern times and modern audiences.

是以，這意味著故事中的人物或部分內容可能會更新，以適應現代時代和現代觀眾的需求。

So if you lose your job, for example, you might need to think about your future in a new and fresh way to reimagine it.

是以，舉例來說，如果你失去了工作，你可能需要以一種全新的方式來思考你的未來，重新想象你的未來。

We've had reimagining – thinking about something in a new and different way.

我們已經進行了重新想象--以一種全新的、不同的方式思考某件事情。

For example, during the Covid pandemic, schools had to reimagine how to teach classes.

例如，在科威德大流行期間，學校不得不重新設想如何上課。

Today we're talking about the 80th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing.

今天我們討論廣島原子彈爆炸 80 週年紀念。

At the time of the Hiroshima bombing, only the USA had nuclear weapons.

廣島原子彈爆炸時，只有美國擁有核武器。

Now, nine countries have them, including Russia, China and the UK.

現在，包括俄羅斯、中國和英國在內的九個國家都擁有這些設備。

And the number of weapons that some countries have is also increasing.

一些國家擁有的武器數量也在增加。

And other countries say they want to develop atomic weapons.

而其他國家則說它們想要發展原子武器。

And our next headline is about the threat of nuclear weapons in the world today.

下一條頭條新聞是關於當今世界的核武器威脅。

Nuclear threat still hangs over our world 80 years on.

80 年過去了，核威脅依然籠罩著我們的世界。

So this headline is about the continued danger of nuclear weapons, even 80 years after Hiroshima.

是以，這個標題是關於核武器的持續危險性，即使是在廣島事件發生 80 年之後。

OK, well, let's think about the verb hang.

好吧，讓我們來想想 "掛 "這個動詞。

Imagine a light hanging from the ceiling or clothes hanging on a washing line.

想象一下，一盞燈掛在天花板上，或者衣服掛在洗衣線上。

So hang means that something is suspended in the air from something.

是以，"懸掛 "意味著某物懸浮在某物的空中。

Now, the headline says hangs over and that means something is over your head.

現在，標題上寫著 "懸掛"，這就意味著有東西在你的頭頂上。

But that is literal and in the headline hangs over is used metaphorically.

但這只是字面上的意思，在標題中，"懸掛 "是一種比喻。

Now, nuclear threat is not something that is literally above your head, but it's something negative and threatening that makes you feel anxious or unsafe, as if there was something threatening above your head.

現在，核威脅並不是真正在你頭頂上的東西，而是負面的、威脅性的東西，讓你感到焦慮或不安全，就好像頭頂上有什麼威脅一樣。

So when the headline says nuclear threat still hangs over the world, it means the nuclear threat exists and is always there, creating worry and danger, even if nothing has happened since World War Two.

是以，當標題說核威脅依然籠罩著世界時，這意味著核威脅依然存在，並且始終存在，製造著擔憂和危險，即使自第二次世界大戰以來什麼都沒有發生。

And we can use hangs over in other serious situations, can't we?

在其他嚴重情況下，我們也可以使用 "懸掛"，不是嗎？

Especially when talking about fears, worries and threats.

尤其是在談論恐懼、擔憂和威脅時。

Yes, so for example, in a cost of living crisis, money worries might hang over the population.

是的，舉例來說，在生活成本危機中，人們可能會對金錢感到擔憂。

For example, the funding has been rejected so uncertainty is hanging over the future of the business.

例如，資金已被拒絕，是以企業的未來充滿了不確定性。

Today we're talking about the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima 80 years ago.

今天我們要討論的是 80 年前在廣島投下的原子彈。

The threat of using nuclear weapons and even nuclear war is still high in the world, especially as more countries now have nuclear weapons.

世界上使用核武器甚至核戰爭的威脅仍然很大，尤其是現在有越來越多的國家擁有核武器。

US President Donald Trump said he ordered two nuclear submarines to move closer to Russia after being offended by former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.

美國總統唐納德-特朗普說，在得罪了俄羅斯前總統德米特里-梅德韋傑夫之後，他命令兩艘核潛艇向俄羅斯靠攏。

Now our next headline is about the current threat of nuclear weapons in the world and it comes from The Guardian.

現在，我們的下一個頭條新聞是關於當前世界上的核武器威脅，它來自《衛報》。

Hiroshima's fading legacy, the race to secure survivors' memories amid a new era of nuclear brinkmanship.

廣島日漸消逝的遺產，在核邊緣政策的新時代爭奪倖存者記憶的競賽。

This headline means that because Hiroshima happened so long ago, there's not much time left to record the memories of the survivors.

這個標題意味著，由於廣島發生的時間太久遠，留給記錄倖存者記憶的時間已經不多了。

But we're interested in this word brinkmanship.

但我們對 "邊緣政策 "這個詞很感興趣。

Well, brinkmanship is a noun, we know that because it ends in the suffix ship and the word comes from brink and that means the edge.

brinkmanship 是一個名詞，我們知道這是因為它以後綴 ship 結尾，而這個詞來自 brink，意思是邊緣。

So if you're on the brink of disaster, for example, you're about to move into a disastrous situation.

是以，如果你正處於災難的邊緣，比如說，你即將進入一個災難性的境地。

But the word brinkmanship is usually used in a political or military context and it refers to the strategy of pushing a dangerous situation right to the edge of disaster, the brink, in order to get what you want.

但是，"邊緣政策"（brinkmanship）一詞通常是在政治或軍事背景下使用的，它指的是為了達到自己的目的，將危險的局勢推向災難的邊緣，即 "邊緣"（brinkmanship）。

So nuclear brinkmanship means being dangerously close to a nuclear conflict.

是以，核邊緣政策意味著危險地接近核衝突。

And for this reason, the word brinkmanship has very negative associations of danger and risk, a lack of safety.

是以，"邊緣政策 "一詞給人的負面聯想是危險和風險，缺乏安全感。

We've had brinkmanship, the act of making a dangerous situation worse to get what you want.

我們曾有過邊緣政策，即為了達到自己的目的而使危險局勢惡化的行為。

For example, the government said the teacher's threat to go on strike was brinkmanship.

例如，政府稱教師威脅罷工是邊緣政策。
