I'm Coy Wire with your news for Thursday, August 14th.

我是 Coy Wire，為您帶來 8 月 14 日星期四的新聞。

First, a random thought Thursday for you.

Why is it that when we have more than one goose, we call them geese, but more than one moose isn't meese?

為什麼當我們有多隻鵝時，我們叫它們鵝，而多隻麋鹿就不是麋鹿呢？

Shouldn't a group of squids be called a squad?

一群魷魚不是應該叫一個小隊嗎？

Without further ado, your 10 minutes of news starts now.

廢話不多說，您的十分鐘新聞現在開始。

Big news for those of you with college applications on the horizon.

對於即將申請大學的人來說，這可是個好消息。

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, has opened early.

聯邦學生補助免費申請表（FAFSA）已提前開放。

The Department of Education says a small number of beta testers can now access the application.

教育部表示，少數測試者現在可以訪問該應用程序。

And if you can't, no worries, it will be available to everyone starting October 1st.

如果您不能參加，也不用擔心，從 10 月 1 日起，所有人都可以參加。

For those of you that need a FAFSA refresher, we got you covered.

如果您需要複習 FAFSA，我們會為您提供幫助。

The FAFSA uses your family's financial information to determine how much government financial aid you may qualify for to attend college.

FAFSA 使用您的家庭財務資訊來確定您在上大學時有資格獲得多少政府資助。

It's sent to any schools you're interested in attending, so they can calculate how much aid you could receive.

它將發送給您有興趣就讀的任何學校，以便他們計算您可以獲得多少補助。

The Department of Education says anyone planning on attending college should fill one out, since it helps determine if you qualify for other aid programs.

教育部表示，任何計劃上大學的人都應該填寫一份申請表，因為它有助於確定您是否有資格申請其他援助項目。

Lots of students and families were making a mistake early on in their college research.

很多學生和家庭在大學研究初期都犯了一個錯誤。

And this mistake was crossing an expensive school off of their list of consideration early on without following through and finding out how much financial aid that school is actually giving out.

而這個錯誤就是，他們在很早的時候就把一所昂貴的學校從他們的考慮名單上劃掉了，而沒有去了解這所學校到底能提供多少經濟援助。

If this sounds like a lot to keep track of, no worries.

如果這聽起來很麻煩，不用擔心。

You can head to studentaid.gov to create a profile and get started as early as today.

An unprecedented wildfire season is continuing to thrash Europe, and there doesn't appear to be any relief in sight for the world's fastest warming continent.

史無前例的野火季節正在歐洲持續肆虐，對於世界上變暖速度最快的大陸來說，似乎還看不到任何緩解的跡象。

Record heat and droughts have helped fuel the blazes across the continent.

創紀錄的高溫和乾旱助長了整個大陸的大火。

More than 2,200 firefighters have been deployed across Spain and Portugal, where temperatures are also expected to be well above 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the coming days.

西班牙和葡萄牙各地已部署了 2200 多名消防員，預計未來幾天當地氣溫也將遠高於華氏 100 度。

Dozens of fires are raging across Italy, France and parts of the Balkans, prompting evacuations, threatening landmarks and claiming at least one life.

意大利、法國和巴爾幹半島部分地區的數十場大火正在肆虐，導致人員疏散，威脅到地標性建築，並造成至少一人喪生。

Officials say the fires have burned through nearly 2.4 million acres so far this year, putting 2025 on pace to be the most expansive European wildfire season to date.

官員們說，今年到目前為止，大火已經燒燬了近 240 萬英畝的土地，使 2025 年成為迄今為止歐洲野火面積最大的季節。

Scientists also warn that as the human-caused climate crisis escalates, these wildfires will only become more frequent and severe. 10-second trivia.

科學家還警告說，隨著人為氣候危機的升級，這些野火只會變得更加頻繁和嚴重。10 秒鐘小知識。

Which city is home to the fastest operational train in the world?

哪個城市擁有世界上運行速度最快的列車？

莫斯科、東京、上海還是雪梨？

The fastest train in the world is the Shanghai Maglev.

世界上最快的列車是上海磁懸浮列車。

The trans-rapid commercial train travels at approximately 286 miles per hour using electromagnetic propulsion.

跨快速商業列車使用電磁推進，時速約為 286 英里。

The Shanghai Maglev can cover 19 miles in less than eight minutes.

上海磁懸浮列車可在 8 分鐘內行駛 19 英里。

Two of America's largest railroad companies, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern, just announced a mega-proposal to create America's first transcontinental freight railroad.

美國最大的兩家鐵路公司聯合太平洋鐵路公司和諾福克南方鐵路公司剛剛宣佈了一項巨型提案，計劃創建美國第一條橫貫大陸的貨運鐵路。

Railroads are crucial to America's economy, carrying about 30 percent of the nation's freight in terms of weight.

鐵路對美國經濟至關重要，按重量計算，它承擔著全國約 30% 的貨運量。

Trains transport cars, retail goods, food and energy products, as well as raw materials and parts needed to run many factories.

火車運輸汽車、零售商品、食品和能源產品，以及許多工廠運行所需的原材料和零部件。

Transcontinental rail service for people, or travelers, has been available since 1869, right after the end of the Civil War.

自南北戰爭結束後的 1869 年起，橫貫大陸的鐵路就開始為人們或旅行者提供服務。

But moving goods, or freight, cross-country has always required they be handed off from one railroad to another.

但是，跨國運輸貨物或貨運，總是需要將貨物從一條鐵路轉運到另一條鐵路。

In theory, this plan would allow stuff to get sent on a train all the way from the Port of Los Angeles to the ports in New England more efficiently, and cut down on emissions because fewer goods would be shipped in 18-wheelers.

從理論上講，這項計劃可以讓貨物通過火車更高效地從洛杉磯港運往新英格蘭的港口，並減少排放，因為用 18 輪卡車運輸的貨物會減少。

Still, experts say the merger could take months, if not years, for the deal to close.

儘管如此，專家們表示，合併可能需要數月甚至數年的時間才能完成。

Meet Wavy Dave, a robotic fiddler crab built to mimic the weird and wonderful ways these crabs flirt.

這是一隻機器人大閘蟹--"波浪戴夫"（Wavy Dave），它模仿大閘蟹調情的奇異方式製造而成。

Scientists are studying which claw-waving moves make female crabs swoon, and Dave's got some shell-lebrity type of swagger, as you can see.

科學家們正在研究哪些揮爪動作會讓雌蟹神魂顛倒，如你所見，戴夫有一些貝殼名人式的大搖大擺。

It's a pinch of science, a wave of technology, and maybe even a little craptivating courtship.

這是一針見血的科學，一浪高過一浪的技術，甚至可能還有一點瘋狂的求愛。

我們的香農-霍奇（Shannon Hodge）將為您帶來更多報道。

As researchers at the University of Exeter built this robot, dubbed Wavy Dave, to study how male fiddler crabs compete for female attention.

埃克塞特大學的研究人員製造了這個被稱為 "波浪戴夫 "的機器人，以研究雄性大閘蟹如何爭奪雌性的注意力。

Scientists placed Wavy Dave on a mudflat, teeming with thousands of crabs, and gave the robot claws of varying sizes to wave near a real male's burrow.

科學家們把 "波浪戴夫 "放在一個有成千上萬只螃蟹的泥灘上，並給機器人配備了大小不一的爪子，讓它在真正的雄蟹洞穴附近揮舞。

I was very surprised at how they reacted, because the pessimist in me thought they won't see this as a crab, that, you know, they'll see through it, that we're essentially trying to pull a magic trick on them, and I didn't think that it would work.

我對他們的反應感到非常驚訝，因為我這個悲觀主義者認為他們不會把這當成螃蟹，你知道，他們會看穿的，我們本質上是在對他們施展魔法，我認為這不會奏效。

Cameras captured how the claw to compete with the robot.

攝影機捕捉到爪子是如何與機器人競爭的。

Adapting your strategy and kind of rolling with the punches, that's not something that's special to humans.

調整策略，隨機應變，這並不是人類的專利。

While some males were less likely to compete when a rival had a larger claw, others would not back down from this robotic intruder.

當對手的爪子較大時，一些雄性就不太願意與之競爭，而其他雄性則不會在這個機器人入侵者面前退縮。

The fight between the fiddler crab and Wavy Dave, I wasn't expecting it when the individual did manage to break the claw off.

大閘蟹和波浪戴夫之間的打鬥，我沒想到它居然能把爪子弄斷。

That just goes to show that you should never try and predict what's going to happen when you're working with animals.

這恰恰說明，當你與動物打交道時，永遠不要試圖預測會發生什麼。
