  • Meta计划投入数百亿美元建设人工智能数据中心。

    【新闻摘要】
    扎克伯格最近给AI数据中心画了个"曼哈顿"!这位Meta创始人宣布要砸数千亿美元建造多个"超级智能"数据中心集群,其中一个占地堪比曼哈顿岛(59.1平方公里)。最夸张的是,这些数据中心不仅取名"普罗米修斯"和"亥伯龙"这样的神话级代号,还准备在2026年上线首个千兆瓦级设施——看来小扎是把AI竞赛当成了"奥林匹斯山神战",只是不知道这些"数字神殿"建成后,会不会把人类最后那点隐私也当祭品烧了?

    ---

    **Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg has announced plans to spend hundreds of billions of dollars building massive AI data centers in the US.**
    Meta创始人马克·扎克伯格宣布计划斥资数千亿美元在美国建造大型AI数据中心。

    **In a Threads post, Zuckerberg revealed the company is constructing multiple multi-gigawatt clusters, with one named Hyperion projected to reach five gigawatts capacity.**
    在Threads的发文中,扎克伯格透露公司正在建设多个千兆瓦级集群,其中一个名为"亥伯龙"的集群预计将达到五千兆瓦容量。

    **"We're building titan clusters - one covers an area comparable to Manhattan," the Meta CEO added.**
    "我们正在建造泰坦级集群——其中一个的面积堪比曼哈顿,"这位Meta首席执行官补充道。

    **The first facility, Prometheus, will launch in Ohio by 2026, followed by Hyperion in Louisiana by 2030.**
    首个名为"普罗米修斯"的设施将于2026年在俄亥俄州上线,随后"亥伯龙"将于2030年在路易斯安那州建成。

    **Zuckerberg said these investments aim to develop"superintelligence" surpassing human cognitive abilities.**
    扎克伯格表示这些投资旨在开发超越人类认知能力的"超级智能"。

    **Cambrian AI analyst Karl Freund told the BBC:"Zuckerberg clearly plans to buy his way to AI dominance."**
    Cambrian AI分析师卡尔·弗罗因德告诉BBC:"扎克伯格显然计划用钱砸出AI霸主地位。"

    **Meta shares rose 1% on the news, extending this year's gains to over 20%.**
    此消息使Meta股价上涨1%,使今年涨幅超过20%。

    **Global data centers currently number over 10,000, mostly in the US, UK and Germany.**
    全球数据中心数量目前超过1万个,主要分布在美国、英国和德国。

    **AI facilities are notoriously resource-intensive - a single ChatGPT query consumes as much water as a bottled drink.**
    众所周知AI设施资源消耗巨大——一次ChatGPT查询的耗水量相当于一瓶饮料。

  • 我对普京感到失望,但并未放弃,特朗普对BBC表示。

    【新闻摘要】
    特朗普最近和普京玩起了"感情拉扯"!在BBC独家专访中,这位美国总统一边说对普京"很失望但还没完",一边又威胁50天内不达成停火就对俄加征关税。最精分的是,他刚宣布要给乌克兰送武器,转头就被自家MAGA铁粉骂"背叛美国优先"。不过这位总统倒是很会自我安慰——夸北约"现在知道自付账单了",赞英国首相斯塔默"虽然是自由派但我挺喜欢",还得意地说世界各国领导人都"越来越尊重我"。看来在特朗普的平行宇宙里,自己不仅是"美国救世主",还是全球政要的"人气王"呢!

    ---

    **Donald Trump has said that he is disappointed but not done with Vladimir Putin, in an exclusive phone call with the BBC.**
    唐纳德·特朗普在与BBC的独家电话采访中表示,他对弗拉基米尔·普京感到失望但尚未放弃。

    **The US president was pressed on whether he trusts the Russian leader, and replied:"I trust almost nobody."**
    当被追问是否信任这位俄罗斯领导人时,美国总统回答:"我几乎不信任任何人。"

    **Trump was speaking hours after he announced plans to send weapons to Ukraine and warned of severe tariffs on Russia if there was no ceasefire deal in 50 days.**
    特朗普发表此番言论几小时前,他刚宣布计划向乌克兰输送武器,并警告若50天内未达成停火协议将对俄罗斯实施严厉关税。

    **In an interview from the Oval Office, the president also endorsed Nato, having once described it as obsolete, and affirmed his support for the organisation's common defence principle.**
    在白宫椭圆形办公室的采访中,总统还表态支持北约——他曾称该组织过时——并重申支持其共同防御原则。

    **The president made the phone call, which lasted 20 minutes, to the BBC after conversations about a potential interview to mark one year on since the attempt on his life at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.**
    总统与BBC进行了20分钟的电话通话,此前双方就宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒竞选集会上暗杀未遂事件一周年纪念采访进行过讨论。

    **Asked about whether surviving the assassination attempt had changed him, Trump said he liked to think about it as little as possible.**
    当被问及暗杀未遂是否改变了他时,特朗普表示他尽量不去想这件事。

    **"I don't like to think about if it did change me," Trump said. Dwelling on it, he added,"could be life-changing".**
    "我不喜欢思考它是否改变了我,"特朗普说。他补充道,纠结于此"可能会改变人生"。

    **Having just met with Nato chief Mark Rutte at the White House, however, the president spent a significant portion of the interview expanding on his disappointment with the Russian leader.**
    不过,刚与北约秘书长马克·吕特在白宫会晤后,总统在采访中花了大量时间表达对俄罗斯领导人的失望。

    **Trump said that he had thought a deal to end the war in Ukraine was on the cards with Russia four different times.**
    特朗普表示,他曾四次认为与俄罗斯达成结束乌克兰战争的协议是可能的。

    **When asked by the BBC if he was done with Putin, the president replied:"I'm disappointed in him, but I'm not done with him. But I'm disappointed in him."**
    当BBC问及是否已与普京断绝往来时,总统回答:"我对他很失望,但我还没放弃他。但我确实对他很失望。"

    **Pressed on how Trump would get Putin to"stop the bloodshed" the US president said:"We're working at it, Gary."**
    当被追问如何让普京"停止杀戮"时,美国总统说:"我们正在努力,加里。"

    **"We'll have a great conversation. I'll say: 'That's good, I'll think we're close to getting it done,' and then he'll knock down a building in Kyiv."**
    "我们会进行很好的对话。我会说:'很好,我觉得我们快达成协议了,'然后他就会炸毁基辅的一栋建筑。"

    **Russia has intensified its drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian cities in recent weeks, causing record civilian casualties.**
    俄罗斯最近几周加强了对乌克兰城市的无人机和导弹袭击,造成创纪录的平民伤亡。

    **Putin has insisted he also wants peace but has said what he calls the"root causes" of the war must be resolved first.**
    普京坚称他也希望和平,但表示必须首先解决他所谓的战争"根本原因"。

    **The conversation moved on to Nato, which Trump has previously criticised as"obsolete".**
    话题转向北约,特朗普此前曾批评该组织"过时"。

    **He said he did not think that was still the case as Nato"is now becoming the opposite of that" because the alliance was"paying their own bills".**
    他表示现在情况不同了,因为北约"正在变得相反",该联盟现在"自付账单"。

    **Trump said it was"amazing" that Nato leaders had agreed to ramp up defence spending to 5% of their economic output."Nobody thought that was possible."**
    特朗普称北约领导人同意将国防开支提高到经济产出的5%"令人惊叹"。"没人认为这有可能。"

    **He said he still believed in collective defence, because it meant smaller countries could defend themselves against larger ones.**
    他表示仍然相信集体防御,因为这意味小国可以抵御大国。

    **Trump said that the leaders of countries including Germany, France and Spain, had come to respect him and his decision making, partly because world leaders believed that there was a"lot of talent" in being elected to the presidency twice.**
    特朗普表示,德国、法国和西班牙等国的领导人开始尊重他和他的决策,部分原因是世界领导人认为两次当选总统需要"很多才能"。

    **President Trump was also asked about the UK's future in the world and said he thought it was a"great place - you know I own property there".**
    特朗普总统还被问及英国在世界上的未来,他表示认为这是一个"好地方——你知道我在那里有房产"。

    **Asked if he thought the UK had made the most of Brexit, he said"no", adding:"I think it's been on the sloppy side but I think it's getting straightened out."**
    当被问及是否认为英国充分利用了脱欧时,他表示"没有",并补充说:"我认为有些马虎,但正在理顺。"

    **The president also said of Sir Keir Starmer:"I really like the prime minister a lot, even though he is a liberal", and praised the UK-US trade deal.**
    总统还谈到基尔·斯塔默爵士:"我非常喜欢这位首相,尽管他是自由派",并赞扬了英美贸易协议。

    **He said he had a"special bond" with the UK and that was why he had made a deal with the country -"for the most part, in terms of your competitors and in terms of the European Union I haven't made a deal".**
    他表示与英国有"特殊纽带",这就是为什么与英国达成协议——"基本上,就你们的竞争对手和欧盟而言,我还没有达成协议"。

    **He spoke about how he was looking forward to an unprecedented second state visit to the UK in September this year.**
    他谈到期待今年9月对英国进行史无前例的第二次国事访问。

    **On what he wanted to achieve during the visit, Trump said:"Have a good time and respect King Charles, because he's a great gentleman."**
    关于访问期间希望实现什么目标,特朗普说:"玩得开心并尊重查尔斯国王,因为他是一位伟大的绅士。"

    **Turning to his domestic agenda, the president said he had done a"great job" on one of his key election pledges - tackling illegal crossings at the US-Mexico border, which have dropped to record lows in the first months of his second term.**
    谈到国内议程,总统表示在关键竞选承诺之一——解决美墨边境非法越境问题上做得"很棒",在他第二个任期头几个月已降至历史最低水平。

    **"I've done actually more than the promises that I've made," he said.**
    "实际上我做的比承诺的更多,"他说。

    **His administration has now shifted its focus to the identification, detention and deportation of migrants across the US who are in the country illegally.**
    他的政府现在将重点转向识别、拘留和驱逐全美非法移民。

    **"We're bringing them to El Salvador, lots of other places," he said, referring to the controversial deal which saw the deportation of people the White House called gang members to a prison in the central American country.**
    "我们把他们送到萨尔瓦多和其他许多地方,"他说,指的是将有争议的被白宫称为黑帮成员的人驱逐到中美洲国家监狱的协议。

    **The president also praised his landmark tax and spending bill -"the one big beautiful bill" - which extends 2017 tax cuts from Trump's first term, as well as creating new tax breaks on tips and including steep cuts to Medicaid, the state-provided healthcare scheme.**
    总统还赞扬了他具有里程碑意义的税收和支出法案——"一项美丽的大法案"——该法案延长了特朗普第一个任期内2017年的减税政策,并为小费创造了新的税收减免,还包括大幅削减政府提供的医疗补助计划。

    **"We have the largest tax cuts in history," he said.**
    "我们实施了历史上最大规模的减税,"他说。

    **Asked what he thought would define his legacy as president, he said:"Saving America."**
    当被问及作为总统的遗产是什么时,他说:"拯救美国。"

    **"I think America is now a great country and it was a dead country one year ago."**
    "我认为美国现在是一个伟大的国家,而一年前它是个死气沉沉的国家。"

  • 埃塞俄比亚军队在提格雷战争中“处决”了援助人员,慈善组织称。

    【新闻摘要】
    埃塞俄比亚"医者仁心"变"医者殒命"!无国界医生组织最新调查报告显示,四年前在提格雷战区被"处决式"杀害的三名援助人员(包括一名西班牙医生和两名埃塞俄比亚同事),凶手竟是政府军士兵。最讽刺的是,这些工作人员当时穿着醒目的MSF背心、车辆两侧都挂着慈善机构旗帜,却仍被近距离多次射击——看来在战争机器面前,红十字标志还不如靶心醒目。而这场导致60万人丧生的内战,如今又添了一笔"杀害救命恩人"的血债!

    ---

    **An investigation by medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has found evidence that Ethiopia's army was responsible for the"execution" of three of its workers during a humanitarian mission in Tigray four years ago.**
    医疗慈善机构无国界医生(MSF)调查发现,埃塞俄比亚军队应对四年前在提格雷人道主义任务中"处决"三名工作人员负责。

    **MSF's report claims Ethiopian troops were present when the three - a Spanish national and two Ethiopians - were shot at close range.**
    MSF报告称,当这三名工作人员(一名西班牙人和两名埃塞俄比亚人)遭近距离枪击时,埃塞俄比亚军队在场。

    **"They were executed," MSF Spain's director Raquel Ayora told the BBC."Facing their attackers and shot several times."**
    "他们是被处决的,"MSF西班牙负责人拉克尔·阿约拉告诉BBC。"面对袭击者并被多次射击。"

    **The BBC has asked the Ethiopian government for comment.**
    BBC已就此事向埃塞俄比亚政府寻求回应。

    **MSF said it went public as the government failed to provide a credible account despite 20 meetings over four years.**
    MSF表示选择公开,是因为尽管四年间进行了20次会面,政府仍未能提供可信解释。

    **María Hernández Matas (35), Yohannes Halefom Reda (32) and Tedros Gebremariam (31) were killed on 24 June 2021 while assessing medical needs.**
    35岁的玛丽亚·埃尔南德斯·马塔斯、32岁的约翰内斯·哈勒丰·雷达和31岁的特德罗斯·格布雷马里亚姆于2021年6月24日在评估医疗需求时遇害。

    **"They were professional and passionate," Ms Ayora said, noting they wore MSF vests and their vehicle was clearly marked.**
    "他们专业且充满热情,"阿约拉女士说,并指出他们穿着MSF背心且车辆标识清晰。

    **Ms Matas was beloved in Tigray, while Mr Tedros was killed just after his wife gave birth to a daughter named after his Spanish colleague.**
    马塔斯女士在提格雷深受爱戴,而特德罗斯先生遇害时妻子刚产下一名以他西班牙同事命名的女婴。

    **The Tigray war erupted in 2020 between regional and federal forces, with Eritrea backing Ethiopia's army.**
    提格雷战争于2020年在地方和联邦部队之间爆发,厄立特里亚支持埃塞俄比亚军队。

    **The conflict killed some 600,000 people before a 2022 AU-brokered peace deal.**
    这场冲突导致约60万人丧生,直到2022年非盟斡旋达成和平协议。

    **MSF says the killings occurred as hostility toward aid workers was rising, with evidence placing Ethiopian troops at the scene.**
    MSF称杀戮发生时对援助人员的敌意正在上升,并有证据显示埃塞俄比亚军队在场。

    **Witnesses implicate soldiers, including one who allegedly heard an attack order, though the army's exact role remains unclear.**
    目击者指认士兵,包括一名据称听到攻击命令的人,但军队的确切角色仍不清楚。

    **"Corroborating evidence shows ENDF troops were present on the road where the killings occurred," MSF stated.**
    "确凿证据显示埃塞俄比亚国防军部队在杀戮发生的道路上出现,"MSF声明称。

  • 随着关于印度航空空难的各种理论层出不穷,关键细节仍未明朗。

    【新闻摘要】
    印度航空坠机初步调查报告出炉,结果比宝莱坞悬疑片还烧脑!报告称起飞后几秒内两具引擎的燃油切断开关被人从"运行"掰到"切断"位置,导致241名乘客和19名地面人员遇难。最诡异的是,飞行员对话录音显示两人互相甩锅:"你为啥切断燃料?""不是我干的!"——这剧情简直比《空中浩劫》还离奇。现在印度飞行员协会气得跳脚,怒斥媒体"没证据就暗示飞行员自杀太缺德",而航空专家则吐槽报告"选择性披露信息",连驾驶舱录音都不放全。看来这场空难调查,已经成功从技术问题升级成了罗生门!

    ---

    **While the preliminary report into what caused the loss of Air India Flight 171 last month has provided some answers, it has also prompted a wave of speculation about its cause.**
    尽管上月印度航空171航班空难的初步调查报告给出部分答案,但也引发了对事故原因的大量猜测。

    **The Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed into a building less than a minute after take-off from the city of Ahmedabad in western India en route to London, killing 241 people on board, along with 19 on the ground. One passenger survived.**
    这架波音787梦想客机从印度西部艾哈迈达巴德起飞不到一分钟便撞向建筑物,造成机上241人和地面19人遇难,仅一名乘客生还。

    **Information contained in India's Air Accident Investigation Bureau report, the first official account of what happened, has raised questions about the role of the pilots.**
    印度航空事故调查局的报告作为首份官方事故说明,其中信息引发了对飞行员操作的质疑。

    **However, experts within the aviation industry claim investigators have been highly selective in what they have chosen to say.**
    但航空业专家指调查人员存在严重的选择性披露。

    **Under international protocols, the state leading an air accident investigation is meant to issue a preliminary report within 30 days.**
    根据国际惯例,空难调查主导国应在30天内发布初步报告。

    **The 15-page document published by India's Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) on Saturday fulfils this requirement.**
    印度航空事故调查局周六发布的15页文件履行了这一要求。

    **The report does not set out any conclusions as to the cause of the accident. Nevertheless, it has sparked considerable controversy.**
    报告未就事故原因给出结论,但仍引发巨大争议。

    **In its account of the accident flight, the AAIB states that two fuel cut-off switches were moved from the"run" to the"cut-off" position seconds after take-off.**
    报告称起飞后几秒内,两个燃油切断开关被人从"运行"位拨到"切断"位。

    **These switches are normally only used to turn the engines on before a flight and off afterwards.**
    这些开关通常仅用于飞行前启动引擎和降落后关闭引擎。

    **The report also states that one pilot asks the other"why did you cut off?", while his colleague responded that he"did not do so".**
    报告还记载一名飞行员问另一人"你为何切断?",对方回答"不是我干的"。

    **The information released so far has prompted a number of commentators to claim, in the media and online, that the accident was the result of deliberate and intentional action by one of the pilots.**
    目前披露的信息已引发部分评论者在媒体和网络上指控事故系飞行员故意所为。

    **It is a view that has attracted an angry response from the Indian Commercial Pilots' Association, which warned that"invoking such a serious allegation based on incomplete or preliminary information is not only irresponsible – it is deeply insensitive to the individuals and families involved".**
    印度商业飞行员协会愤怒回应,警告"基于不完整或初步信息提出如此严重指控不仅不负责任,更是对相关人员和家庭的极度冷漠"。

    **Since the report was issued, the BBC has spoken to a range of people within the industry, including pilots, accident investigators and engineers.**
    报告发布后,BBC采访了包括飞行员、事故调查员和工程师在内的多位业内人士。

    **"They've told us stuff they want us to know at the moment, and withheld what they don't want us to know," explained one pilot, who asked not to be identified.**
    "他们只透露想让我们知道的内容,隐瞒不想公开的信息,"一名要求匿名的飞行员解释。

    **One of the main criticisms is the lack of a transcript from the cockpit voice recorder, which would enable the reported conversation between the pilots about the fuel cut-off switches to be put in context.**
    主要批评之一是未公布驾驶舱语音记录器文字稿,导致飞行员关于燃油开关的对话缺乏上下文。

    **Bjorn Fehrm, an aeronautical analyst at consultants Leeham Company said this was"totally unacceptable".**
    咨询公司Leeham的航空分析师比约恩·费姆称这"完全不可接受"。

    **"It's someone trying to hide something," he said.**
    "这是有人在试图隐瞒什么,"他说。

  • 世界最年长马拉松选手在车祸中去世,享年114岁

    【新闻摘要】
    114岁的"马拉松活化石"福贾·辛格在印度遭遇车祸身亡,这位89岁才开始跑步的传奇老人,用行动诠释了什么叫"人生没有太晚的开始"。最讽刺的是,这位曾因腿脚不便被村民嘲笑的男孩,最终却用双脚跑进了吉尼斯纪录的"候选名单"——虽然因为1911年的出生证明缺失而未能正式加冕。如今,他标志性的蓝白跑鞋和那句"最老者为最幼者奔跑"的口号,将永远定格在马拉松史册上!

    ---

    **Fauja Singh, a British-Indian man believed to be the world's oldest marathon runner, has died after being hit by a car in India at the age of 114.**
    英籍印度裔男子福贾·辛格在印度遭遇车祸身亡,享年114岁,他被认为是世界上最年长的马拉松选手。

    **Police say Singh was crossing a road in the village where he was born in Punjab when an unidentified vehicle hit him.**
    警方称,辛格在旁遮普邦的出生村庄过马路时被一辆不明车辆撞击。

    **Locals took him to hospital, where he died.**
    当地居民将他送往医院,他在医院去世。

    **Singh, a global icon, set records by running marathons across multiple age categories, including when he was over 100.**
    作为全球偶像,辛格在多个年龄组别创造了马拉松纪录,包括百岁之后。

    **He began running at 89 and ran nine full marathons between 2000 and 2013, when he retired.**
    他89岁开始跑步,在2000年至2013年退役期间完成了九次全程马拉松。

    **His running club and charity, Sikhs In The City, said its upcoming events in Ilford, east London, where he had lived since 1992, would be a celebration of his life and achievements.**
    他所在的跑步俱乐部兼慈善机构"城市锡克教徒"表示,将在伦敦东部伊尔福德(他自1992年居住地)举办活动庆祝他的一生和成就。

    **The hit and run happened on Monday as the centenarian was walking in his birth village, Beas Pind, near Jalandhar.**
    这起肇事逃逸事件发生在周一,当时这位百岁老人在贾朗达尔附近的出生地比亚斯平德村散步。

    **"A search is under way, and the accused will be caught soon," said Harvinder Singh, a top district police officer.**
    "搜查正在进行,肇事者将很快被抓获,"地区高级警官哈文德·辛格说。

    **As news of the death broke, tributes poured in.**
    死讯传出后,悼念纷至沓来。

    **Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called him an"exceptional athlete with incredible determination".**
    印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪称他为"具有惊人毅力的杰出运动员"。

    **Harmander Singh, Fauja Singh's coach at Sikhs In The City, confirmed his death in a statement posted to the running club.**
    "城市锡克教徒"教练哈曼德·辛格在跑步俱乐部发布的声明中证实了他的死讯。

    **The statement said:"It is with great sadness that we can confirm our icon of humanity and powerhouse of positivity Fauja Singh has passed away in India.**
    声明称:"我们非常悲痛地确认,我们的人性偶像和正能量源泉福贾·辛格在印度去世。"

    **"His running club and charity Sikhs In The City will be devoting all of its events until the Fauja Singh Birthday Challenge on Sunday 29 March 2026 to celebrate his life of success and achievements.**
    "他的跑步俱乐部兼慈善机构'城市锡克教徒'将把所有活动都用于庆祝他成功和成就的一生,直到2026年3月29日周日的福贾·辛格生日挑战赛。"

    **"We will be doubling the efforts to raise funds to building the Fauja Singh Clubhouse on the route in Ilford where he used to train."**
    "我们将加倍努力筹集资金,在他曾经训练的伊尔福德路线上建造福贾·辛格俱乐部会所。"

    **When the BBC met Singh in June in Beas Pind, he was agile and active, walking several miles every day.**
    当BBC六月在比亚斯平德见到辛格时,他行动敏捷,每天步行数英里。

    **"I still go for walks around the village to keep my legs strong. A person has to take care of his own body," he said.**
    "我仍然在村子里散步以保持腿部力量。一个人必须照顾好自己的身体,"他说。

    **A torchbearer for the 2012 London Olympics, Singh clocked several milestones during his running career, including reportedly becoming the first centenarian to complete a full marathon in 2011 in Toronto.**
    作为2012年伦敦奥运会火炬手,辛格在跑步生涯中创下了多个里程碑,包括据报道成为2011年在多伦多完成全程马拉松的第一位百岁老人。

    **However, his claim of being the world's oldest marathon runner was not recognised by Guinness World Records as he could not show a birth certificate from 1911.**
    然而,他作为世界上最年长马拉松选手的说法未被吉尼斯世界纪录承认,因为他无法出示1911年的出生证明。

    **The BBC reported at the time that Singh's British passport showed his date of birth as being 1 April 1911, and that he had a letter from the Queen congratulating him on his 100th birthday.**
    BBC当时报道称,辛格的英国护照显示他的出生日期为1911年4月1日,并且他有一封女王祝贺他100岁生日的信。

    **His trainer, Harmander Singh, said that birth certificates were not made in India at the time Singh was born.**
    他的教练哈曼德·辛格表示,辛格出生时印度还没有出生证明制度。

    **Guinness World Records officials said they would have loved"to give him the record", but that they could only"accept official birth documents created in the year of the birth".**
    吉尼斯世界纪录官员表示他们"很想给他这个纪录",但他们只能"接受出生当年创建的官方出生文件"。

    2003年,在多伦多海滨马拉松比赛中,他以惊人的1小时5分钟提高了成绩,以5小时40分钟完成比赛。

    "我不记得我的成绩;是我的教练哈曼德·辛格记录了我所有的成绩。但我所取得的一切都归功于他的训练,我真诚地遵循了他的计划,"辛格在六月说。

    "在伦敦,他经常让我跑上坡路,正因为如此,我不断进步,"他补充道。

    "在伦敦几乎每次训练后,我都会去谒师所,那里的饮食得到了照顾。那里的每个人都激励我跑长距离。"

  • “这不是我们的战争”——特朗普与北约达成的乌克兰武器协议引发“让美国再次伟大”支持者愤怒

    【新闻摘要】
    特朗普最近给北约"开了张军火账单",结果把自家"MAGA铁粉"给惹毛了!这位总统刚宣布要通过北约向乌克兰输送武器,还威胁俄罗斯50天内不签和平协议就加关税,转头就被极右翼盟友马乔丽·泰勒·格林骂"背叛竞选承诺"。前顾问班农更是在播客里咆哮:"这是欧洲的战争!"最搞笑的是,白宫一边强调"欧洲会付钱",一边被自家支持者吐槽"肯定又要纳税人买单"——看来在"MAGA战队"眼里,特朗普这波操作简直是"挂羊头卖狗肉"啊!

    ---

    **Some conservative members of Donald Trump's"Make America Great Again" movement have reacted angrily to the president's plans to sell weapons to Nato, arguing it is a betrayal of his promise to end US involvement in foreign wars.**
    特朗普"让美国再次伟大"运动的部分保守派成员对总统向北约出售武器的计划表示愤怒,称这违背了他结束美国参与外国战争的承诺。

    **On Monday, Trump said he would send weapons to Ukraine via Nato, while also threatening Russia with more tariffs if a deal to end the war is not reached in 50 days.**
    周一,特朗普表示将通过北约向乌克兰输送武器,同时威胁称如果50天内未达成结束战争的协议,将对俄罗斯加征更多关税。

    **Republican Congresswomen Marjorie Taylor Greene, a key Trump ally, and former Trump strategist Steve Bannon are among those who have criticised the decision, with Bannon telling his podcast listeners that Ukraine is a"European war".**
    特朗普的重要盟友、共和党众议员马乔丽·泰勒·格林和前特朗普战略师史蒂夫·班农等人批评了这一决定,班农在播客中称乌克兰战争是"欧洲的战争"。

    **The White House has emphasised that Europe will pay for the US-made weapons.**
    白宫强调欧洲将为这些美国制造的武器买单。

    **In an interview with the New York Times, Greene - an isolationist member of Congress from Georgia who has been one of the most loyal Trump supporters on Capitol Hill - said the move was at odds with what she had promised voters on the campaign trail.**
    佐治亚州孤立主义议员格林接受《纽约时报》采访时表示,此举与她竞选时对选民的承诺相矛盾。格林是国会中最忠诚的特朗普支持者之一。

    **"It's not just Ukraine; it's all foreign wars in general and a lot of foreign aid," she said."This is what we campaigned on. This is what I promised also to my district. This is what everybody voted for. And I believe we have to maintain the course."**
    "不仅是乌克兰,还包括所有外国战争和大量对外援助,"她说。"这是我们竞选的主张。这也是我对选区承诺的内容。这是所有人投票支持的东西。我认为我们必须坚持这一路线。"

    **Trump sought to emphasise that the weapons would be paid for rather than given as direct aid, saying on Monday:"We're not buying it, but we will manufacture it, and they're going to be paying for it."**
    特朗普试图强调这些武器是有偿提供而非直接援助,他周一表示:"我们不购买武器,但我们会制造它们,而他们将为此付款。"

    **But in a rare public disagreement with the president, Greene expressed scepticism that US taxpayers would ultimately avoid bearing any cost and, in a post on social media, criticised"backdoor deals through Nato".**
    但在罕见的公开分歧中,格林对美国纳税人最终能否避免承担任何成本表示怀疑,并在社交媒体上批评"通过北约的后门交易"。

    **"Without a shadow of a doubt, our tax dollars are being used," she told the New York Times, arguing that indirect costs such as US training missions and contributions to Nato qualify as US involvement.**
    "毫无疑问,我们的税款正在被使用,"她告诉《纽约时报》,认为美国的训练任务和对北约的贡献等间接成本等同于美国的参与。

    **"I said it on every rally stage: no more money to Ukraine. We want peace. We just want peace for those people," she said."And guess what? People haven't changed."**
    "我在每个竞选舞台上都说过:不再给乌克兰钱。我们想要和平。我们只希望那些人获得和平,"她说。"你猜怎么着?人们没有改变。"

    **One former Trump campaign official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to Politico, said Europe's purchase of the weapons"mitigates" the anger from Trump's isolationist supporters.**
    一位不愿透露姓名的前特朗普竞选官员对Politico表示,欧洲购买武器"缓解"了特朗普孤立主义支持者的愤怒。

    **"But we still hate it," the official said."This is not our war, and escalation isn't in America's interest."**
    "但我们仍然讨厌这样,"该官员说。"这不是我们的战争,升级不符合美国的利益。"

    **Steve Bannon, a former adviser to Trump, said on his War Room podcast that"Ukraine is getting so dangerous".**
    特朗普前顾问史蒂夫·班农在他的"战情室"播客中说"乌克兰正变得非常危险"。

    **"It's a European war. Let Europe deal with it," he said."They have the resources. They have the manpower."**
    "这是欧洲的战争。让欧洲去处理吧,"他说。"他们有资源。他们有人力。"

    **"We're about to arm people we have literally no control over," Bannon said of Ukraine."This is old-fashioned, grinding war in the bloodlands of Europe - and we're being dragged into it."**
    "我们即将武装那些我们根本无法控制的人,"班农谈到乌克兰时说。"这是欧洲血腥地带的老式消耗战——而我们正在被拖入其中。"

    **In a statement quoted by Politico, White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said that Trump's MAGA base"aren't panicans like the media".**
    白宫副新闻秘书安娜·凯利在被Politico引用的声明中表示,特朗普的MAGA基本盘"不像媒体那样惊慌"。

    **"They trust in Trump, and they know that this president is restoring peace through strength."**
    "他们信任特朗普,他们知道这位总统正在通过实力恢复和平。"

    **The BBC has contacted the White House for comment. A White House official who spoke to Politico on the condition of anonymity disagreed that the president's base opposed his moves.**
    BBC已联系白宫寻求评论。一位不愿透露姓名的白宫官员对Politico表示不同意总统的基本盘反对他的举措。

    **They pointed to one recent poll that suggested nearly two-thirds of Trump voters support continuing to send arms to Ukraine.**
    他们指出最近的一项民意调查显示,近三分之二的特朗普选民支持继续向乌克兰输送武器。

    **Officials in the Trump administration have also defended the president's decision, with Under Secretary of Defense Elbridge Colby writing on X that Trump's"America First message is that our alliances have to be fair and equitable".**
    特朗普政府的官员也为总统的决定辩护,国防部副部长埃尔布里奇·科尔比在X上写道,特朗普的"美国优先信息是我们的联盟必须公平公正"。

    **"This is eminently reasonable but was treated for many years as heresy," he added."Yet now with the historic Nato commitment we see that it can work."**
    "这是非常合理的,但多年来被视为异端邪说,"他补充道。"然而现在随着北约的历史性承诺,我们看到这是可行的。"

    **That recent commitment from Nato leaders to ramp up defence spending to 5% of their economic output was praised by Trump supporters on Monday, who argued that even with the new weapons deal Europe was taking on more responsibility for its defence.**
    北约领导人最近承诺将国防开支提高到经济产出的5%,这周一受到特朗普支持者的赞扬,他们认为即使有新武器协议,欧洲也在承担更多防务责任。

    **And in an exclusive interview with the BBC on Monday, just hours after he met Nato chief Mark Rutte at the White House, Trump said the alliance was now"paying its own bills".**
    周一,特朗普在白宫会见北约秘书长马克·吕特几小时后接受BBC独家采访时表示,北约现在"自付账单"。

    **He affirmed his support for the organisation's common defence principle, and said he was"disappointed but not done" with Russia's Vladimir Putin.**
    他重申支持该组织的共同防御原则,并表示对俄罗斯的弗拉基米尔·普京"感到失望但尚未结束"。

    **The president said that he had thought a deal to end the war in Ukraine was on the cards with Russia four different times.**
    总统表示,他曾四次认为与俄罗斯达成结束乌克兰战争的协议是可能的。

  • 原住民长者在与澳大利亚政府的气候诉讼中败诉,失去具有里程碑意义的诉讼。

    【新闻摘要】
    澳大利亚原住民长老最近在法庭上遭遇"气候滑铁卢"!托雷斯海峡岛民帕拜和卡拜两位大叔,花了三年时间状告政府"没尽到保护岛屿免受气候变化影响的义务",结果联邦法院法官一锤定音:气候政策归议会管,政府不欠你们这个"照顾义务"。最扎心的是,法官虽然承认"不采取紧急行动岛屿将面临黯淡未来",但还是驳回了索赔——看来在澳大利亚,祖先墓地快被海水淹没这种事,还不如议会里吵吵架重要啊!

    ---

    **The Australian government has won a landmark climate case against residents of islands under siege from the impacts of climate change.**
    澳大利亚政府在一起具有里程碑意义的气候诉讼中获胜,被告是受气候变化影响的岛屿居民。

    **In 2021, community elders Pabai Pabai and Paul Kabai launched legal action against the then-Liberal government for breaching its duty of care to protect the Torres Strait Islands from the impacts of climate change.**
    2021年,社区长老帕拜·帕拜和保罗·卡拜对当时的自由党政府提起诉讼,指控其未能履行保护托雷斯海峡群岛免受气候变化影响的义务。

    **But a Federal Court judge dismissed the case and said climate policy was a matter for parliament, not the courts.**
    但联邦法院法官驳回了此案,表示气候政策应由议会而非法院决定。

    **The ruling also found that the government did not owe a duty of care to protect the islands from the impacts of climate change.**
    裁决还认为政府没有义务保护这些岛屿免受气候变化影响。

    **"My heart is broken for my family and my community," Uncle Pabai, a community leader from Boigu island, said in statement to local media.**
    "我的心为我的家人和社区而碎,"博伊古岛的社区领袖帕拜大叔在给当地媒体的声明中说。

    **The Torres Strait Islands - located between far-north Queensland and Papua New Guinea - are made up of about 270 islands, of which only a few dozen are inhabited.**
    托雷斯海峡群岛位于昆士兰远北部和巴布亚新几内亚之间,由约270个岛屿组成,其中只有几十个有人居住。

    **They are part of Australia, and the islands' residents are Australian citizens.**
    它们是澳大利亚的一部分,岛民是澳大利亚公民。

    **About 4,000 people live on the islands, according to the latest official figures, with 90% identifying as Indigenous.**
    根据最新官方数据,约有4000人居住在这些岛屿上,其中90%认为自己是原住民。

    **In their submission, Uncle Pabai and Uncle Paul said sea levels in the north of Australia had been rising"significantly higher than the global average".**
    帕拜和保罗大叔在提交的材料中表示,澳大利亚北部的海平面上升速度"明显高于全球平均水平"。

    **Between 1993 and 2019, sea levels in the Torres Strait rose by about 6cm per decade, the court was told.**
    法庭获悉,1993年至2019年间,托雷斯海峡的海平面每十年上升约6厘米。

    **The court also heard that the islands are home to a"distinctive customary culture known as Ailan Kastom", where the residents have a"unique spiritual and physical connection" to the islands and waters.**
    法庭还了解到,这些岛屿拥有"独特的传统文化,称为Ailan Kastom",居民与岛屿和水域有着"独特的精神和身体联系"。

    **The case added that by failing to take greater action against climate change in its emissions targets, the islands' unique culture would be lost, and residents would become climate refugees.**
    案件补充说,由于未能在排放目标中采取更多行动应对气候变化,岛屿的独特文化将消失,居民将成为气候难民。

    **However, Justice Michael Wigney said that while he recognised the"devastating impact" caused to the islands by climate change, current negligence laws in Australia do not allow for compensation where the loss of culture, customs and traditions were the result of a government's policies.**
    然而,迈克尔·威格尼法官表示,虽然他承认气候变化对岛屿造成的"毁灭性影响",但澳大利亚现行过失法律不允许因政府政策导致文化、习俗和传统丧失而获得赔偿。

    **He acknowledged that while"climate change related flooding and inundation events had damaged their sacred sites and the burial grounds of their ancestors", matters of"core government policy", such as emissions targets, was"ordinarily to be decided through political processes, not by judges".**
    他承认,虽然"与气候变化相关的洪水和淹没事件破坏了他们的神圣场所和祖先的墓地",但"核心政府政策"事项,如排放目标,"通常应通过政治程序而非法官来决定"。

    **He did, however, recognise that action was needed:"There could be little, if any, doubt that the Torres Strait Islands and their traditional inhabitants will face a bleak future if urgent action is not taken to address climate change and its impacts."**
    然而,他确实认识到需要采取行动:"毫无疑问,如果不采取紧急行动应对气候变化及其影响,托雷斯海峡群岛及其传统居民将面临黯淡的未来。"

    **In his submission to the court, Uncle Pabai described the deep spiritual connection he and other locals have with the waters and land, especially the cemeteries.**
    在向法院提交的材料中,帕拜大叔描述了他和其他当地人与水域和土地的深厚精神联系,尤其是墓地。

    **"Talking to my ancestors is a big part of my culture," he wrote."If Boigu was gone, or I had to leave it, because it was underwater, I will be nothing."**
    "与我的祖先交谈是我文化的重要组成部分,"他写道。"如果博伊古岛消失,或者我不得不离开它,因为它被水淹没,我将什么都不是。"

    **Uncle Paul, the other elder behind the court action, was equally stunned by the findings.**
    诉讼的另一位发起人保罗大叔对调查结果同样感到震惊。

    **"I thought that the decision would be in our favour, and I'm in shock," he said."This pain isn't just for me, it's for all people Indigenous and non-Indigenous who have been affected by climate change. What do any of us say to our families now?"**
    "我以为判决会对我们有利,我很震惊,"他说。"这种痛苦不仅是我一个人的,也是所有受气候变化影响的原住民和非原住民的。我们现在能对家人说什么?"

  • 特朗普如何让我措手不及地接受采访——以及关键要点

    【新闻摘要】
    特朗普的"午夜惊魂电话"让BBC记者从睡梦中惊醒!这位美国总统半夜三更突然来电,让刚睡着的记者手忙脚乱找录音笔,还差点因为断线错过独家专访。最搞笑的是,特朗普一边抱怨普京让他"失望了四次",一边又对北约态度180度大转弯,还夸英国新首相斯塔默"虽然是个自由派但我挺喜欢他"。看来这位总统的"变脸"速度,比记者找录音机的速度还快!

    ---

    **The BBC's Gary O'Donoghue shares the story behind his exclusive telephone interview with Donald Trump.**
    BBC记者加里·奥多诺休分享与特朗普独家电话采访背后的故事。

    **Donald Trump makes a habit of calling reporters out of the blue. The US president seems to prefer an off-the-cuff telephone conversation to a sit-down interview on camera. On Monday evening it was my turn.**
    特朗普有突然致电记者的习惯。这位美国总统似乎更喜欢即兴电话交谈,而不是坐下来接受镜头采访。周一晚上轮到我了。

    **And I'll be frank with you - I was asleep when the White House rang. I'd spent the best part of five days believing there was an outside chance I would get an interview with him.**
    坦白说,白宫来电时我正在睡觉。过去五天我一直在想也许有机会采访他。

    **My reporting from that shooting had made global headlines and probably caught the president's attention. So I judged that perhaps that connection might be a way of securing a presidential interview - pretty rare things for foreign news organisations in the US.**
    我对枪击事件的报道成为全球头条,可能引起了总统的注意。所以我判断这或许是获得总统采访的途径——对美国的外国新闻机构来说相当罕见。

    **On Sunday night I was told I was minutes away from the call so my team and I were standing by ready to record, but it didn't come.**
    周日晚上我被告知电话随时可能打来,我和团队准备好录音,但电话没来。

    **By last night, I'd given up on the interview happening and after a long few weeks on the road without a day off, I was exhausted and taking a nap.**
    到昨晚,我已经放弃采访希望,连续几周出差没有休息,我筋疲力尽正在小睡。

    **Then the phone rang. I blearily answered, and the voice of Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt came over the speaker:"Hi Gary, I'm here with the president, here you go."**
    然后电话响了。我睡眼惺忪地接听,新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特的声音传来:"嗨加里,我和总统在一起,请讲。"

    **I dashed into my living room, scrambling for my digital recorder; the line dropped and I thought I'd lost it.**
    我冲进客厅手忙脚乱找录音笔;电话断线我以为搞砸了。

    **But they came back on the line and I spent almost 20 minutes speaking to Trump about everything from that fateful night in Butler, to his frustrations with Vladimir Putin, to his new-found belief in Nato and to his view of the UK.**
    但他们重新打来,我和特朗普谈了近20分钟,从巴特勒那个决定性的夜晚,到对普京的失望,对北约的新看法,以及对英国的看法。

    **Here are my five key takeaways from our surprise conversation.**
    以下是这次意外对话的五个要点。

    **1. Trump shows a different side, touching on Butler**
    1. 特朗普展现不同一面,谈及巴特勒事件

    **He was very reflective on a couple of things and he sounded pretty vulnerable talking about the assassination attempt - it's clear he's uncomfortable talking about that.**
    他对几件事深思熟虑,谈到暗杀企图时显得脆弱——显然他不愿多谈。

    **For a president loved by his supporters for speaking so frankly and without a filter, there were moments of reflection and some long pauses before answers that the public rarely sees.**
    这位以直言不讳受支持者喜爱的总统,出现了反思时刻和公众很少见的长停顿。

    **When asked if the assassination attempt had changed him, the president conveyed a hint of vulnerability as he said he tries to think about it as little as he can.**
    被问及暗杀企图是否改变了他时,总统流露出一丝脆弱,说他尽量少想这事。

    **"I don't like dwelling on it because if I did, it would be, you know, might be life-changing, I don't want it to have to be that."**
    "我不喜欢纠结于此,因为如果这样,你知道,可能会改变人生,我不希望这样。"

    **Elaborating, he said he liked"the power of positive thinking, or the power of positive non-thinking".**
    他详细说道,他喜欢"积极思考的力量,或积极不思考的力量"。

    **There was also a very long pause when I asked him if he trusted Russian President Vladimir Putin. Eventually he replied:"I trust almost nobody to be honest with you."**
    当我问他是否信任俄罗斯总统普京时,出现了很长时间的停顿。最终他回答:"老实说,我几乎不信任任何人。"

    **2. No commitment to US deportation numbers**
    2. 不愿承诺具体遣返数字

    **Turning to domestic American politics, I asked whether the president's plan for mass deportations was working - both in terms of speed, and given that some individuals were being swept up who the president perhaps wouldn't want to see deported.**
    转向美国国内政治,我问总统的大规模遣返计划是否奏效——无论是速度,还是考虑到一些总统可能不想遣返的人也被卷进来。

    **The president insisted his team had done a"great job" at fulfilling his campaign promises, citing the drastic decrease in migrants crossing into the US from southern neighbour Mexico.**
    总统坚称他的团队在履行竞选承诺方面做得"很棒",指出从南部邻国墨西哥进入美国的移民大幅减少。

    **Some of Trump's team have expressed frustration that deportations are being carried out too slowly.**
    特朗普的一些团队人员对遣返进展太慢表示沮丧。

    **When I pushed him on the question of how many deportations in this second presidential term would mark a success, Trump refused to give a figure.**
    当我追问第二个总统任期内遣返多少人算成功时,特朗普拒绝给出数字。

    **"Well I don't put a number on but I want to get the criminals out quickly, and we're doing that, as you know," he said."We're bringing them to El Salvador, lots of other places."**
    "嗯,我不设定数字,但我想迅速清除罪犯,我们正在这样做,如你所知,"他说。"我们把他们送到萨尔瓦多,很多其他地方。"

    **3. More frustration with Putin**
    3. 对普京更加失望

    **Trump expressed his frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin - capping off a day in which he threatened to hit Moscow's economy with secondary sanctions if a deal over the war in Ukraine was not reached within 50 days.**
    特朗普表达了对俄罗斯总统普京的失望——当天早些时候他威胁说,如果50天内未达成乌克兰战争协议,将对莫斯科经济实施次级制裁。

    **Having campaigned on a promise to quickly end the war, Trump seemed perplexed that he had not yet managed to strike an agreement with his Russian counterpart to end the years-long conflict.**
    特朗普曾承诺迅速结束战争,但似乎困惑于尚未与俄罗斯同行达成结束多年冲突的协议。

    **He again indicated there was a gap between words and actions on Putin's part:"I thought we had a deal done four times and then you go home, and you see, just attacked a nursing home or something in Kyiv. I said: 'What the hell was that all about?'"**
    他再次指出普京言行不一:"我以为我们已经四次达成协议,然后你回家,就看到袭击了基辅的养老院之类。我说:'这到底是怎么回事?'"

    **Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders have long accused Putin of not being serious about ending the war.**
    乌克兰总统泽连斯基和其他欧洲领导人长期指责普京没有认真结束战争。

    **To them, feelings of doubt will be nothing new. But, when I asked Trump whether he had finished with the Russian leader, he continued to leave the door open:"I'm not done with him, but I'm disappointed in him."**
    对他们来说,怀疑并不新鲜。但是,当我问特朗普是否与俄罗斯领导人断绝关系时,他继续留有余地:"我还没完,但我对他失望。"

    **4. New tone on Nato**
    4. 对北约新态度

    **I pointed out to Trump that he once suggested Nato was obsolete, and he replied that he now thought the Western military alliance was"becoming the opposite of that".**
    我向特朗普指出,他曾表示北约过时了,他回答说现在认为这个西方军事联盟"正变得相反"。

    **He was fresh from hosting Nato chief Mark Rutte - a man he seems to be able to work well with.**
    他刚接待了北约秘书长马克·吕特——似乎能与之良好合作的人。

    **The pair exchanged warm words in front of the world's cameras, and announced that the US would sell weapons to Nato which would then be passed on to Kyiv.**
    两人在全世界镜头前热情交谈,宣布美国将向北约出售武器,然后转交给基辅。

    **During our call, Trump indicated that he was shaking off his grudge that his country spent proportionately more on defence than its allies.**
    通话中,特朗普表示他正在消除对美国国防开支比例高于盟友的不满。

    **"It was very unfair because the United States paid for almost a hundred percent of it, but now they're paying their own bills and I think that's much better," he said, appearing to refer to a pledge last month by Nato members to ramp up defence spending to 5% of each country's economic output.**
    "非常不公平,因为美国几乎支付了全部,但现在他们自己买单,我认为这好多了,"他说,似乎指的是北约成员国上月承诺将国防开支提高到各国经济产出的5%。

    **"We changed Nato a lot," he told me.**
    "我们大大改变了北约,"他告诉我。

    **5. Respect for Starmer and UK**
    5. 尊重斯塔默和英国

    **Trump emphasised his respect for the UK and its prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer, with whom he last month signed an agreement to remove some trade barriers.**
    特朗普强调了他对英国及其首相基尔·斯塔默爵士的尊重,上月与他签署了消除一些贸易壁垒的协议。

    **"I really like the prime minister a lot, even though he's a liberal," Trump explained.**
    "我非常喜欢这位首相,尽管他是个自由派,"特朗普解释道。

    **Trump emphasised that the relationship between the two countries was just as"special" as many Britons like to believe, adding that he believed the UK would fight alongside the US in a war.**
    特朗普强调两国关系正如许多英国人喜欢认为的那样"特殊",并补充说他相信英国会在战争中与美国并肩作战。

    **He sounded relaxed over perceived slights against him. Although his state visit to the UK later this year will not entail a speech to Parliament, he was not insistent that lawmakers be recalled.**
    他对感知到的轻视显得轻松。尽管今年晚些时候对英国的国事访问不包括向议会发表演讲,但他并不坚持召回议员。

    **"Let them go and have a good time," he said. Trump labelled his future host King Charles"a great gentleman".**
    "让他们去好好享受吧,"他说。特朗普称他未来的东道主查尔斯国王是"一位伟大的绅士"。

    **He shrugged off a recent speech that was given to Canada's parliament by the monarch that was seen as an endorsement of Canadian sovereignty in the face of Trump's threats.**
    他对君主最近向加拿大议会发表的演讲不以为意,该演讲被视为在面对特朗普威胁时对加拿大主权的认可。

    **He even had a joke."You have many different names you go by," he said."England, if you want to cut off a couple of areas. And you go UK, and you have Britain and you have Great Britain. You got more names than any other country in history, I think."**
    他甚至开了个玩笑。"你们有很多不同的名字,"他说。"英格兰,如果你想砍掉几个地区。还有UK,还有不列颠,还有大不列颠。我想你们的名字比历史上任何国家都多。"

  • 英国在重大安全漏洞后设立秘密阿富汗撤离计划

    【新闻摘要】
    英国政府最近上演了一出"数据泄露后紧急救援"的大戏!2022年一名官员不小心把1.9万名阿富汗申请者的个人信息泄露后,英国政府不仅悄悄启动了秘密安置计划,还搞了个"超级禁令"封锁消息。最讽刺的是,这些阿富汗人直到本周二才知道自己的信息被泄露了——而英国政府已经偷偷把4500人接到国内,还花了4亿英镑!看来这届英国政府深谙"亡羊补牢"之道,只是不知道那位手滑的官员,现在是不是正在某个角落瑟瑟发抖呢?

    ---

    **Thousands of Afghans have moved to the UK under a secret scheme which was set up after a British official inadvertently leaked their data, it can be revealed.**
    据透露,在英国官员无意中泄露数据后,数千名阿富汗人通过一项秘密计划移居英国。

    **In February 2022, the personal details of nearly 19,000 people who had applied to move to the UK after the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan were leaked.**
    2022年2月,近1.9万名在塔利班夺取阿富汗政权后申请移居英国的人的个人详细信息被泄露。

    **The previous government learned of the breach in August 2023 when some of the details appeared on Facebook.**
    前政府于2023年8月得知数据泄露事件,当时一些详细信息出现在Facebook上。

    **A new resettlement scheme for those on the leaked list was set up nine months later, and has seen 4,500 Afghans arrive in the UK so far.**
    九个月后为泄露名单上的人设立了一项新的安置计划,迄今已有4500名阿富汗人抵达英国。

    **But the existence of the leak and relocations were kept secret after the government obtained a super-injunction stopping it from becoming public.**
    但在政府获得阻止其公开的超级禁令后,泄露和搬迁的存在一直被保密。

    **Details of the major data breach, the response and the number of Afghans granted the right to live in the UK as a result only came to light on Tuesday after a High Court judge ruled the gagging order should be lifted.**
    周二,高等法院法官裁定应解除禁言令后,重大数据泄露的细节、应对措施以及因此获得在英国居住权的阿富汗人数才得以曝光。

    **The leak contained the names, contact details and some family information of people potentially at risk of harm from the Taliban.**
    泄露的信息包括可能受到塔利班伤害的人的姓名、联系方式和一些家庭信息。

    **Downing Street would not confirm whether the official responsible for the leak had faced disciplinary action, with a spokesman saying they would not comment on individuals.**
    唐宁街不愿证实负责泄露的官员是否面临纪律处分,发言人表示不会对个人发表评论。

    **The government also revealed on Tuesday: The MoD believes 600 Afghan soldiers included in the leak, plus 1,800 of their family members, are still in Afghanistan**
    政府周二还透露:国防部认为泄露名单中的600名阿富汗士兵及其1800名家庭成员仍在阿富汗

    **The scheme is being closed down, but relocation offers already made to those who remain in Afghanistan will be honoured**
    该计划正在关闭,但已经向仍留在阿富汗的人提供的搬迁提议将得到兑现

    **The secret scheme - officially called the Afghan Relocation Route - has cost £400m so far, and is expected to cost a further £400m to £450m**
    这项名为"阿富汗搬迁路线"的秘密计划迄今已花费4亿英镑,预计还将花费4亿至4.5亿英镑

    **The breach was committed mistakenly by an unnamed official at the MoD**
    泄露是由国防部一名未具名官员错误造成的

    **People whose details were leaked were only informed on Tuesday**
    详细信息被泄露的人直到周二才被告知

    **Speaking in the House of Commons, Defence Secretary John Healey offered a"sincere apology" to those whose details had been included in the leak, which came to light when some appeared on Facebook.**
    国防部长约翰·希利在下议院发表讲话时,向那些详细信息被泄露的人表示"诚挚的歉意",这些信息出现在Facebook上时才曝光。

    **He said it was as a result of a spreadsheet being emailed"outside of authorised government systems", which he described as a"serious departmental error" - though the Metropolitan Police decided a police investigation was not necessary.**
    他说,这是由于电子表格被发送到"政府授权系统之外",他称之为"严重的部门错误"——尽管伦敦警察厅认为没有必要进行警方调查。

    **Healey said the leak was"one of many data losses" related to the Afghanistan evacuation during that period, and contained the names of senior military officials, government officials and MPs.**
    希利表示,这次泄露是当时与阿富汗撤离有关的"众多数据丢失之一",其中包含高级军事官员、政府官员和议员的姓名。

    **Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch apologised on behalf of her party. She told LBC:"Somebody made a terrible mistake and names were put out there... and we are sorry for that. That should not happen."**
    保守党领袖凯米·巴德诺赫代表她的政党道歉。她告诉LBC:"有人犯了一个可怕的错误,名字被泄露了......我们对此感到抱歉。这不应该发生。"

    **In a 2024 High Court judgement made public on Tuesday, Mr Justice Chamberlain said it was"quite possible" that some of those who saw parts of the leaked document in a Facebook group"were Taliban infiltrators or spoke about it to Taliban-aligned individuals".**
    在周二公布的2024年高等法院判决中,张伯伦法官表示,在Facebook群组中看到部分泄露文件的"很可能是塔利班渗透者或与塔利班有关联的人"。

    **It had earlier been feared the number of people at"risk of death or serious harm" because they appeared on the list, or because their family member did, could be as high as 100,000.**
    早些时候有人担心,由于他们或他们的家人出现在名单上而面临"死亡或严重伤害风险"的人数可能高达10万。

    **However, a review of the incident carried out on behalf of the MoD found it was"highly unlikely" an individual would have been targeted solely because of the leaked data, which"may not have spread nearly as widely as initially feared".**
    然而,代表国防部对该事件进行的审查发现,个人"极不可能"仅仅因为泄露的数据而成为目标,这些数据"可能没有像最初担心的那样广泛传播"。

    **The MoD has declined to say how many people may have been arrested or killed as a result of the data breach.**
    国防部拒绝透露有多少人可能因数据泄露而被捕或杀害。

    **The same review judged the secret scheme to be an"extremely significant intervention" given the"potentially limited" risk posed by the leak.**
    同一审查认为,鉴于泄露造成的"潜在有限"风险,秘密计划是一项"极其重要的干预措施"。

    **An email has been sent to those impacted by the breach, urging them to"exercise caution", and take steps like protecting their online activities and not responding to messages from unknown contacts.**
    已向受泄露影响的人发送电子邮件,敦促他们"谨慎行事",并采取措施保护他们的在线活动,不回复来自未知联系人的消息。

    **Healey said those who have been relocated to the UK have already been counted in immigration figures.**
    希利表示,那些已搬迁到英国的人已被计入移民数据。

    **'Unprecedented'**
    "前所未有"

  • 特朗普对墨西哥番茄征收17%的关税。

    【新闻摘要】
    特朗普又给墨西哥"加料"了!这次是给番茄征收17%关税,让美国人的披萨酱和莎莎酱瞬间"身价暴涨"。墨西哥农民一脸委屈:我们番茄卖得好是因为质量高,哪是什么"低价倾销"?最搞笑的是,美国一边撕毁2019年番茄协议,一边还威胁8月1日起对所有墨西哥商品加征30%关税——看来这位总统是把北美自贸区当成了"毒品游乐场",准备用关税当门票呢!

    ---

    **The US is imposing a 17% tariff on most tomatoes imported from Mexico with immediate effect, the government said.**
    美国政府宣布立即对大多数从墨西哥进口的番茄征收17%关税。

    **The measure is expected to lead to higher prices at supermarkets and restaurants, such as pizza parlours and Mexican eateries.**
    这项措施预计将导致超市和餐馆(如披萨店和墨西哥餐厅)的价格上涨。

    **Tomato-based pizza sauces and salsas are among the products likely to be most hit.**
    以番茄为基础的披萨酱和莎莎酱可能是受影响最严重的产品。

    **About 70% of tomatoes consumed in the US are imported from Mexico, according to advocacy group Florida Tomato Exchange.**
    据倡导组织佛罗里达番茄交易所称,美国消费的番茄约70%从墨西哥进口。

    **Backers of the newly imposed tariff argue that it will encourage consumers to buy tomatoes grown in the US, thereby boosting local trade.**
    新关税的支持者认为,这将鼓励消费者购买美国种植的番茄,从而促进本地贸易。

    **But the Mexican economy and agriculture ministry said it would be"impossible to substitute Mexican tomatoes" given the volume imported from Mexico.**
    但墨西哥经济和农业部门表示,鉴于从墨西哥进口的数量,"不可能替代墨西哥番茄"。

    **The Mexican government said it would try to negotiate a new deal before its producers were hit, but also promised to help Mexican tomato growers find new markets.**
    墨西哥政府表示将尝试在生产者受到影响之前谈判新协议,但也承诺帮助墨西哥番茄种植者寻找新市场。

    **US tomato growers first petitioned the US government for help in 1996, arguing that they were being undercut by Mexican growers, whom they accused of dumping their tomatoes in the US at a price lower than their normal value.**
    美国番茄种植者于1996年首次向美国政府寻求帮助,认为他们受到墨西哥种植者的削弱,他们指控墨西哥种植者以低于正常价值的价格向美国倾销番茄。

    **In order to protect its tomato growers, the US issued an antidumping order, imposing duties on imported tomatoes in order to make US tomatoes more attractive to consumers.**
    为了保护其番茄种植者,美国发布了反倾销令,对进口番茄征收关税,以使美国番茄对消费者更具吸引力。

    **Since then, the two countries have signed five agreements which suspended those tariffs in exchange for Mexico agreeing to sell their tomatoes at or above a minimum price.**
    自那时起,两国签署了五项协议,暂停这些关税,以换取墨西哥同意以或高于最低价格销售其番茄。

    **It is the latest of these suspension agreements - signed in 2019 - that the US has now withdrawn from.**
    美国现在退出的是这些暂停协议中最新的一个——签署于2019年。

    **The US president has also threatened to impose 30% tariffs on all Mexican goods from 1 August.**
    美国总统还威胁从8月1日起对所有墨西哥商品征收30%关税。

    **Trump said this was because Mexico, in his view, had not done enough to stop North America becoming a"Narco-Trafficking Playground".**
    特朗普表示,这是因为在他看来,墨西哥在阻止北美成为"毒品贩运游乐场"方面做得不够。

    **Other countries, such as Brazil and China, as well as the EU trading bloc have also been threatened with US tariffs.**
    其他国家,如巴西和中国,以及欧盟贸易集团也受到美国关税的威胁。
