Israelis and Palestinians have celebrated after hostages and prisoners were exchanged.

以色列人和巴勒斯坦人在人質和囚犯交換後慶祝。

Hamas returned all living Israeli hostages, while Israel freed almost 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees.

哈馬斯遣返了所有活著的以色列人質，而以色列則釋放了近兩千名巴勒斯坦囚犯和被拘留者。

However, the bodies of some deceased hostages are yet to be returned to Israel.

然而，一些已故人質的遺體仍有待送回以色列。

This exchange is the first phase of a plan to end the war arranged and negotiated by US President Donald Trump.

這次交換是結束戰爭計畫的第一階段，該計畫由美國總統唐納·川普安排和協商。

President Trump attended a summit in Sharm El Sheikh on Monday where Egypt, Qatar, Turkey and the US Signed a declaration backing a ceasefire deal aimed at ending two years of war that has left Gaza in ruins.

川普總統週一出席了在沙姆沙伊赫舉行的峰會，埃及、卡達、土耳其和美國在會上簽署了一項宣言，支持旨在結束已讓加薩淪為廢墟的兩年戰爭的停火協議。

Our first headline is about the ceasefire.

我們的第一個頭條新聞是關於停火的。

Israeli hostages and Palestinian Detainees freed as Trump hails Historic dawn in Middle East.

以色列人質和巴勒斯坦被拘留者獲釋，川普讚揚中東迎來歷史性黎明。

And that headline again, Israeli Hostages and Palestinian Detainees freed as Trump hails Historic dawn in Middle East.

再一次是這個頭條新聞：以色列人質和巴勒斯坦被拘留者獲釋，川普讚揚中東迎來歷史性黎明。

So President Trump has said this deal is a historic dawn for the Middle East.

所以川普總統說，這項協議是中東迎來的歷史性黎明。

Well, literally, dawn is when light first appears in the sky before sunrise.

嗯，字面上的意思，黎明是指日出前天空中出現光線的時候。

So if you picture that, Trump is saying we are seeing light, a positive after a dark period, which refers to the war.

所以你想像一下，川普是在說我們看到了光明，在黑暗時期之後出現的正面跡象，這指的是戰爭。

Okay, so it's the start of something new, the beginning of a new period in the region, according to Trump.

好的，所以根據川普的說法，這是新開始，是該地區新時期的開端。

And historic here means famous or important in history.

而「歷史性的」在這裡的意思是，在歷史上很有名或很重要。

So historic dawn means the start of a new and important period.

所以「歷史性的黎明」就是一個新的、重要的時期的開始。

President Trump is saying that the release of hostages and detainees will be remembered in future as an important moment.

川普總統說，人質和被拘留者的獲釋，未來會被記住為一個重要的時刻。

This reminds me of another phrase, the dawn of a new era.

這讓我想起另一個說法，「新時代的黎明」。

所以「新時代的黎明」意思是一樣的。

And as an example, it was used to describe the fall of the Berlin Wall, which was the first step towards a reunited Germany.

舉例來說，它被用來形容柏林圍牆的倒塌，那是德國統一的第一步。

We've had historic dawn, the beginning of something new and important.

我們有過歷史性的黎明，一個全新且重要事物的開端。

For example, when astronauts landed on the moon, it was a historic dawn for humanity.

舉例來說，太空人登陸月球，是人類歷史性的黎明。

This is Learning English from the News, our podcast about the news headlines.

這裡是「新聞學英文」，我們的播客，討論頭條新聞。

Today we're talking about the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Gaza.

今天我們要談以色列和加薩之間的停火協議。

Though there have been celebrations, there are many challenges ahead for Israel and Gaza if the ceasefire is to create lasting peace in the region.

雖然有慶祝活動，但如果停火要在該地區創造持久和平，以色列和加薩還有許多挑戰。

And according to President Trump, the first phase of his 20 point peace plan is complete.

而根據川普總統的說法，他20點和平計畫的第一階段已經完成。

But intense and difficult negotiations and decisions are needed to continue moving forward.

不過，要持續往前邁進，需要進行激烈且艱難的協商與決策。

Many are questioning whether the ceasefire will remain in place.

許多人都在質疑，停火協議是否能持續下去。

Now, our next headline is about the future of Gaza.

接下來，我們要談的下一個頭條新聞，是關於加薩的未來。

This comes from the Atlantic, which is a magazine in the usa.

這則新聞來自《大西洋月刊》，是美國的一本雜誌。

加薩的一個時代結束了，另一個時代即將開始。

That headline again from the Atlantic, a magazine in the usa.

再說一次，這則頭條新聞來自美國的《大西洋月刊》雜誌。

Okay, so this headline says one era, meaning period of time ends in Gaza and another era begins.

好的，這則頭條新聞的意思是，一個時代，也就是一段時間，在加薩結束了，而另一個時代開始了。

Now, this expression in the headline is quite a common phrase in English, isn't it, Pippa?

現在，這則頭條新聞裡的表達方式，在英文裡是很常見的說法，對吧，Pippa？

一件事情結束了，另一件事情就開始了。

The headline says an era has ended, meaning the headline says the fighting has stopped and a new era or time is beginning, though it's unclear what the future will look like because of the many challenges ahead.

這則頭條新聞的意思是，一場時代結束了，也就是說，戰鬥停止了，一個新的時代或時期即將開始，不過因為未來有許多挑戰，所以還不清楚會是什麼樣子。

So it's a phrase about the end of something and the start of a new opportunity.

所以這句話是在講，事情的結束和新機會的開始。

This phrase generally has a feeling of optimism, the promise of a new beginning.

這句話通常帶有一種樂觀的感覺，預示著一個新的開始。

Let's look at other examples where we could use this phrase.

我們來看看其他可以用這句話的例子。

Well, we can also use the phrase one thing ends and another begins, replacing thing with chapter, which is a section of a book.

嗯，我們也可以用「一個章節結束了，另一個章節開始了」這句話，把「事情」換成「章節」，也就是書的一部份。

If you leave your job and start a new one, for example, you could say one chapter of your life has ended and another is beginning.

舉例來說，如果你離職去開始一份新工作，你就可以說，你生命中的一個章節結束了，另一個章節開始了。

Or if you have a child, an era ends and another begins.

或者，如果你有了孩子，一個時代結束了，另一個時代就開始了。

We've had one thing ends, another begins.

我們剛剛說了「一件事結束了，另一件事就開始了」。

An ending creates space for something new.

一個結束為新的事物騰出了空間。

For example, I can't believe you're moving to Australia.

舉例來說，我真不敢相信你要搬去澳洲了。

我想一個時代結束了，另一個時代就開始了。

這是「從新聞學英文」，我們的播客，討論頭條新聞。

Today we're talking about the ceasefire between Israel and Gaza.

今天我們要談論以色列和加薩之間的停火。

There will be many future challenges in the region.

These include how much and how long it'll take for Israeli troops to withdraw from Gaza, the removal of weapons from Hamas, and

其中包括以色列軍隊要從加薩撤軍的程度和時間，哈馬斯武器的移除，以及

Hamas has previously said it would not remove its weapons unless a Palestinian state was established.

哈馬斯先前曾表示，除非建立巴勒斯坦國，否則他們不會移除武器。

And it has rejected the idea of Gaza being ruled by any foreign government.

而且他們拒絕了由任何外國政府統治加薩的想法。

The next headline comes from an article about the challenges that lie ahead.

下一則頭條新聞來自一篇探討未來挑戰的文章。

This comes from the New Statesman, which is a British magazine.

這則新聞來自英國雜誌 New Statesman。

川普的人質協議只是比較容易的部分。

That headline again from the New Statesman, a British magazine.

再一次，這則頭條新聞來自英國雜誌 New Statesman。

Okay, so, Pippa, this headline mentions that the hostage deal was the easy part.

好的，Pippa，這則頭條新聞提到人質協議只是比較容易的部分。

Well, the easy part means the part of a task or situation that is simpler, that doesn't need much effort or isn't that difficult to do.

嗯，easy part 指的是任務或情況中比較簡單、不需要太多努力或不那麼困難的部分。

However, it also suggests that there's another part, often the next part, which will be difficult or less manageable.

然而，這也暗示著還有另一部分，通常是下一部分，會比較困難或難以處理。

So the easy part is the simpler part of a larger challenge.

所以，比較容易的部分是指一個更大挑戰中比較簡單的部分。

This headline is saying that the hostage deal was easy in comparison to the next stages, which will be much harder.

這則頭條新聞的意思是，跟接下來的階段比起來，人質協議算是比較容易的，而接下來的階段會困難得多。

Just a note, the headline isn't saying the ceasefire agreement was easy to achieve, just that it was easier than the next negotiations will be.

補充說明一下，這則頭條新聞並不是說停火協議很容易達成，只是說它比接下來的談判要容易。

There are many challenges ahead in the Middle East.

中東地區還有很多挑戰在等著。

Beth，我們還能在哪些地方用到「比較容易的部分」這個說法呢？

Well, we can use it for a range of topics in everyday speech.

嗯，我們可以在日常對話的各種主題中使用它。

So, for example, you might pass an interview to get into university, but

所以，舉例來說，你可能通過了大學面試，但是

now you have to study hard to actually earn your degree.

現在你必須努力讀書才能真正拿到學位。

We've had the easy part, the simplest part of a larger challenge.

我們已經完成了比較容易的部分，是一個更大挑戰中最簡單的部分。

For example, starting the company was the easy part.

舉例來說，創立公司只是比較容易的部分。
