这一周又有哪些重要看点?
马上为你一网打尽。
1.英国科学家预测20年后的职场社畜长啥样,太可怕了
来认识一下 Emma,按照英国科学家的最新说法,如果你现在是个忙天忙地的小白领,那 Emma 大概就是20年后的你。(虽然性别可能不太一样)
Emma doesn't look so great.
“艾玛”看起来不怎么样。
Her legs are puffy and covered in varicose veins. Her eyes are flat and dead, and her back looks like she spends her days ringing the bell at Notre-Dame Cathedral.
双腿浮肿,静脉曲张,双眼暗淡无神,后背看起来好像在巴黎圣母院敲了几天的钟。
It's harsh but true. Emma is a life-sized doll depicting what the team think an average office worker in the United Kingdom could look like in 20 years if changes aren't made to the workplace environment.
这是残酷的事实,“艾玛”是一个真人大小的玩偶,研究团队认为如果不改变工作环境,英国普通上班族20年后就会变成她的样子。
For a new report titled The Work Colleague of The Future, a team of health experts led by behavioral futurist William Higham looked at survey data submitted by more than 3,000 office workers in France, Germany, and the UK.
行为未来学家William Higham带领健康专家发表了一篇新的名为“未来同事”的报告,该研究团队研究了3,000多名法国、德国和英国上班族提交的调查数据。
The percentages of UK office workers who said they already suffered from sore eyes (50 percent), sore backs (48 percent), and headaches (48 percent) as a direct result of their work environment informed the design of the sickly Emma, who also suffers from stress-related eczema, excess weight, and swollen limbs.
依照英国上班族中声称受工作环境直接影响已经患有眼睛酸痛(50%)、后背酸痛(48%)和头疼(48%)的人数比例,设计出了这个病态的艾玛,她还患有与压力有关的湿疹、超重和四肢肿胀。
If we don't majorly shake-up the standard office environment, according to Higham, we're headed toward a future rife with Emmas.
Higham说如果我们不加大力度改变标准的办公环境,未来就都会像艾玛一样。
"Unless we make radical changes to our working lives, such as moving more, addressing our posture at our desks, taking regular walking breaks, or considering improving our workstation setup, our offices are going to make us very sick," he said, according to The Independent.
他在《独立报》报道中说:“除非我们彻底改变工作习惯,比如多走动、注意在办公桌前的坐姿、定期散步休息或考虑改进我们的工作站设置,否则办公室就会使我们变得病态。”
当然这并非同行评审研究,而是受办公家具公司范罗士委托编写的,该公司无疑是在努力推销自己的产品。但这依然是一个有趣的理念,针对办公环境对我们身体的影响进行了调查。

2.特朗普宣布ISIS最高头目已被美军击杀
图片来源:视觉中国
恐怖组织ISIS的头目巴格达迪终于被美国击杀了,本来是大好事一件,但特朗普用一个发布会把事情彻底搞黄了。
正常来讲,一个总统为这个事情开新闻发布会,基本就几分钟,说一说就完了。
特朗普硬是用了40多分钟,泄露了大量的军事情报,让美国的媒体和情报人员吓掉了眼镜。
President Donald Trump stepped up to a White House lectern on Sunday morning to announce the US military conducted an operation that resulted ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s death in what was a huge moment for the country and Trump’s legacy.
唐纳德·特朗普总统周日早上走上白宫讲台,宣布美军在一次行动中击杀了伊-斯兰国头目阿布·巴克尔·巴格达迪,这对美国和特朗普处理遗留问题来说是一个重大时刻。
But instead of just declaring the so-called caliph dead, Trump chose to answer questions for roughly 40 minutes in what turned into a wild press conference.
但特朗普并不是仅仅宣布一下所谓的哈里发之死,而是回答了近40分钟的问题,演变成了疯狂的新闻发布会。
During his question-and-answer session, Trump divulged multiple sensitive details about the raid in Syria that could possibly give US enemies intelligence advantages; admitted to keeping Congress in the dark about the operation; openly mocked the terrorist leader; praised his controversial travel ban; and insinuated the September 11 attacks might not have happened had Washington heeded his advice.
在问答环节,特朗普泄露了有关叙利亚袭击的多个敏感细节,这可能会给美国的敌人提供情报优势。他还承认国会对此次行动一无所知,并公然嘲笑恐怖组织头目,称赞了一番自己备受争议的旅行禁令,而且暗示如果华盛顿听从他的建议,9.11恐怖袭击可能不会发生。
Overall, Trump squandered one of the best moments of his presidency by speaking cavalierly in his free-wheeling and self-aggrandizing manner.
总的来说就是特朗普以放任和自我吹嘘的方式进行了傲慢地演讲,毁掉了他总统任期中最美好的一个时刻。
“Talking about how many aircraft, where the aircraft are flying in, how they’re breaching a building, other technology they can bring to bear, knowledge about the tunnels and the mapping of those tunnels, these are operational details which are only about preening,” Michael Leiter, who led the US National Counterterrorism Center from 2007 to 2011, said.
迈克尔·莱特曾于2007 年至2011年任美国国家反恐中心主任,他说:“谈及有多少架飞机、飞机在哪里飞行、如何攻破建筑物、可以携带的其他技术以及关于隧道的知识和这些隧道的地图等操作细节,其实就只是为了吹嘘。”
Trump spent a lot of time after his prepared remarks offering more information than his administration would’ve surely preferred. Here are just a few examples:
除了准备好的讲话,特朗普又花了很多时间透露了很多政府不希望外泄的信息。下面举几个例子:
“Two or three efforts” to get Baghdadi were scrapped over a few weeks because of the terrorist leader’s unpredictable movements.
几周内取消了“两三次抓捕巴格达迪的行动”,因为这个恐怖主义头目行踪不定。
Before the raid, the US knew that Baghdadi’s compound had tunnels through which he might try to escape.
突袭之前美国就知道巴格达迪的隐藏地有隧道,他可能会试图从那里逃跑。
US troops blew a hole through a door in order to go inside the compound.
美军在一扇门上打了一个洞进入隐藏地。
The US had more DNA than it needed to verify that the one of the men killed in the raid was Baghdadi.
美军有充分的DNA样本足以证实巴格达迪已在突袭中被杀。
The US killed scores of people in Baghdadi’s circle and captured others.
美军杀掉了巴格达迪周围的数十人,并将其余人逮捕。
The US used eight helicopters and other ships and planes to help with the strike.
美军出动了8架直升飞机,还派出船和飞机进行增援。

3. 英国脱欧又延期了,到2020年1月底
图片来源:视觉中国
脱欧又变成拖欧了。
鲍里斯·约翰逊好不容易终于把脱欧协议谈成了,结果英国议会这次强行给他否了,要拖延。
鲍鲍之前好像发誓说“这次脱欧不成功我就宁愿死在阴沟里”,不知道它现在有啥想法。
周一英国脱欧进入休息期,但前景并不明朗。欧盟准许英国脱欧延期三个月,推迟到1月31日之前。
British politicians immediately began using the extra time to do what they have done for more than three years: bicker about Brexit.
英国政客立刻开始利用宽限的时间进行他们三年多以来一直在做的事:争论脱欧问题。
Prime Minister Boris Johnson pushed for an early election as a way of breaking the political deadlock over the country’s stalled departure from the EU, only to be rebuffed by lawmakers.
鲍里斯·约翰逊首相推动提前举行大选,以打破该国因延迟脱欧陷入的政治僵局,结果被立法者拒绝。
Legislators voted by 299-70 for Johnson’s motion to hold a Dec. 12 election — short of the two-thirds majority of the 650 members of Parliament needed for it to pass.
立法委员针对约翰逊提出的于12月12日举行大选的动议进行投票,结果为299对70,通过率不够,650名议会成员中需要有三分之二的多数支持率才能通过。
Still, an election appears inevitable well before the next scheduled one in 2022 if Britain is to move on from the stasis caused by a prime minister who vowed to deliver Brexit “do or die” and a Parliament that has repeatedly thwarted him.
但首相的脱欧承诺是“do or die (不成功便成仁) ”,而议会又一再阻挠,英国如果想走出这一僵局,就不可避免地会在2022年下一届大选之前提前进行大选。
Johnson said he would try again Tuesday, using a different procedure: a bill, which only needs a simple majority to pass.
约翰逊周二说他会换一个程序再次进行尝试,:出台一个只需简单多数通过的法案。
“We will not allow this paralysis to continue, and one way or another we must proceed straight to an election,” Johnson said.
约翰逊说:“我们不能再继续僵持,不管采取什么方式我们必须直接进行选举。”
Earlier, he had accused his opponents of betraying voters’ decision to leave the EU by thwarting the government’s Brexit plans.
早些时候他曾指责对手阻挠政府的脱欧计划,背叛了选民的脱欧决定。
He said that unless there was an election, the government would be “like Charlie Brown, endlessly running up to kick the ball only to have Parliament whisk it away.”
他说除非进行大选,否则政府将会“像查理·布朗一样,没完没了地跑去踢球,结果却被议会驱逐。”
“We cannot continue with this endless delay.”
“我们不能再没完没了地延期了。”
然而在欧盟同意将脱欧延期到1月31日之后,还有可能会继续延期。欧洲在最后期限前三天做此决定是为了避免英国脱欧出现混乱,英国差一点就成了第一个离开28国集团的国家。

4. 法国也在冷藏车厢了发现偷渡者
图片来源:视觉中国
法国当局在北部港口城市加来发现了一辆载有8名移民的冷藏卡车。
共有4个成年人和4名儿童,他们自称来自阿富汗,乘车时被发现体温过低被带往医院治疗。
The temperature inside of the truck was set to 7 degrees Celsius (44.6 degrees Fahrenheit), according to news agency AFP.
据法新社报道,卡车内温度被设为7摄氏度(44.6华氏度)。
The vehicle had just driven onto a ferry headed for the UK when authorities discovered people hiding in a section of the refrigerated truck.
这辆车刚刚开上前往英国的轮船,当局就发现有人躲在冷藏车里。
The two drivers of the truck, who police said were Romanian nationals, were taken into custody.
两位卡车司机已被拘留,警察说他们是罗马尼亚人。
The route that the truck took before arriving at the ferry was not immediately clear.
尚不清楚卡车上轮船之前的行驶路径。
The find comes after 39 people were found dead in the back of a truck on Wednesday east of London. British authorities are struggling to identify the victims.
此前周三在伦敦东部发现有39人死在了一辆卡车车厢里。英国当局仍在努力确认受害者身份。
Initially, it was believed that all those on the truck were Chinese nationals, although police in Vietnam are now taking DNA samples in an attempt to identify victims they now believe were Vietnamese.
最初认为车内所有人都是中国人,越南警察现在正在用DNA样本进行比对来确定受害者身份,他们认为受害者为越南籍。
The 25-year-old driver of the truck, Maurice R. from Northern Ireland, faces 39 counts of manslaughter in the case.
25岁的卡车司机Maurice R.来自北爱尔兰,他在该案件中面临39项过失杀人罪指控。
Human trafficking rings routinely use trucks to try and smuggle people seeking better lives into Europe, exposing them to danger and putting their lives at risk.
人口贩运集团经常使用卡车试图将追求更好生活的人们偷运到欧洲,将他们置于危险之中,甚至有性命之忧。
Editor's note: Deutsche Welle follows the German press code, which stresses the importance of protecting the privacy of suspected criminals or victims and urges us to refrain from revealing full names in such cases.
编者按:《德国之声》遵守德国新闻法规,强调保护犯罪嫌疑人或受害者隐私的重要性,并敦促我们在这种情况下不要透露全名。
最新的消息,比利时和美国也分别发现了货柜车偷渡者。

5. 傻脸娜的新歌影射比伯,霉霉高调介入了
图片来源:视觉中国
正当我们以为赛琳娜·戈麦斯和海莉·鲍德温的恩怨要平息的时候,赛琳娜新歌《Lose You to Love Me》和《Look at Her Now》的发布又引起了新的风波。
霉霉一点都不喜欢贾斯汀·比伯,据说她支持赛琳娜在歌中影射贾斯汀。
According to an Us Weekly source, “Taylor Swift is a huge supporter of Selena and the shade she threw at Justin has made her proud,” meaning that Taylor likely has not gotten over her drama with Justin and/or Scooter Braun.
据《美国周刊》知情人士透露:“泰勒·斯威夫特大力支持赛琳娜,她对贾斯汀的影射让她感觉很骄傲,”这就意味着泰勒和贾斯汀以及/或斯库特·布劳恩之间的恩怨还没有解决。
“The song was inspired by Selena’s breakup from Justin,” a separate source told Us after “Lose You to Love Me” dropped last week. “It’s actually about finally being able to love yourself and moving on from a toxic relationship.”
上周《Lose You to Love Me》发行之后另一位知情人士向《美国周刊》透露:“这首歌的灵感来源于赛琳娜和贾斯汀分手,但其实说的是最终能爱自己并从一段不良关系中走出来。”
After the song came out, Taylor publicly congratulated Selena. “This song is a perfect expression of healing and my absolute favorite song she’s put out yet,” Taylor wrote on her Instagram Story. “A triumph. I love you so much @selenagomez.”
泰勒在这首歌发行之后公开向赛琳娜表示祝贺,她在Instagram Story上写道:“这首歌是治愈的完美表达,也是她的歌里我最喜欢的。你成功了,我太爱你了@selenagomez”。
It sounds like Tay caught wind of Selena’s recent interview with Ryan Seacrest. During Selena’s appearance on Ryan’s radio show, she hinted that she experienced heartbreak at the hands of Justin more than a few times because he’d often run to other girls as soon as their relationship got rocky.
听起来好像泰勒注意到了最近Ryan Seacrest对赛琳娜的采访。赛琳娜在Ryan的之声节目中暗示自己多次因为贾斯汀而心碎,因为他们闹矛盾时他经常去找别的女孩。

6. LV的母公司LVMH试图收购Tiffany
图片来源:视觉中国
小蓝盒以后可能就是LV一家的了,法国奢侈品巨头路威酩轩集团LVMH提出要收购蒂芙尼。
LVMH, which is run by billionaire CEO Bernard Arnault and owns brands such as Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior, confirmed its interest on Monday following media reports of an offer over the weekend.
路威酩轩集团由身家千亿的首席执行官伯纳德·阿诺特管理,旗下品牌有路易·威登和克里斯汀·迪奥,媒体周末对收购要约进行了报道,该公司随后在周一证实了收购意向。
The French fashion conglomerate said it held "preliminary discussions" regarding a "possible transaction" with Tiffany. "There can be no assurance that these discussions will result in any agreement," it added.
这家法国时尚集团称就与蒂芙尼“可能的交易”进行了“初步讨论”,又补充说:“不能保证此次讨论能达成协议。”
Tiffany (TIF) confirmed Monday in a statement that it is reviewing an all-cash proposal from LVMH to buy the company for $120 per share. That's a premium of more than 20% over the stock's closing price on Friday.
蒂芙尼周一在一份声明中证实正在评估路威酩轩集团提出的以每股120美元的价格收购该公司的全现金方案,这比该股上周五的收盘价高出了20%以上。
Such a deal would value Tiffany at roughly $14.5 billion, but analysts believe there's a good chance that Tiffany holds out for a sweeter offer.
如此一来蒂芙尼估值约为145亿美元,但分析人士认为蒂芙尼很可能会等待更高的报价。
Oliver Chen, an analyst at Cowen, predicts that LVMH would need to propose at least $160 per share to secure a deal. Other luxury companies — such as Richemont, which owns Cartier — could make competing bids, he said.
高宏集团的分析师Oliver Chen预测路威酩轩集团需要给出每股至少160美元的价格才能做成交易。他说其他奢侈品公司,如卡地亚母公司历峰集团也会参与竞标。
Shares of Tiffany skyrocketed more than 30% in premarket trading Monday to nearly $130 per share, suggesting investors also expect a more lucrative offer. LVMH's stock barely budged in Paris.
周一蒂芙尼股价盘前暴涨30%,达到每股近130美元,这说明投资者也期待着更高的收购价格。路威酩轩集团在巴黎的股价没什么波动。
"A takeover of Tiffany could make a lot of sense," analysts at Bernstein wrote in a research note. While it's one of the world's best-known luxury brands, analysts say it still has room to grow, particularly in jewelry and watches.
伯恩斯坦公司的分析人士在研究报告中写道:“收购蒂芙尼意义重大,”虽然它只是世界著名奢侈品牌之一,但分析人士称它仍有发展空间,尤其是在珠宝和手表领域。

7.特斯拉推出新版太阳能屋顶
图片来源:视觉中国
特斯拉推出了第三代家用太阳能光伏瓦,按照马斯克的说法,前两代都是搞实验,现在这一带是真家伙了。
Tesla CEO Elon Musk kicked off the call with some explanatory remarks on the V3 Solar Roof, and then took a number of questions.
特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克在通话中就第三代太阳能屋顶进行了解释,然后回答了一些问题。
The company says it’ll begin installations in the coming weeks (Musk says some installations have already begun) and that it hopes to ramp production to as many as 1,000 new roofs per week.
该公司说未来几周将开始安装(马斯克说一部分已经开始安装),而且希望将产量提高到每周1000顶。
Tesla’s solar roof tiles — which are designed to look just like normal roof tiles when installed on a house, while doubling as solar panels to generate power — are something of a work-in-progress.
特斯拉的太阳能光伏瓦安装在房顶上看起来就像正常的屋顶瓦片,同时又兼作太阳能电池板来发电,现在仍然是半成品。
The company is still tinkering with the product three years after announcing the concept, having done trial installations with two different iterations so far.
该公司提出这一概念的三年后仍然在对该产品进行改进,到目前为止已经试安装了两代产品。
“Versions one and two we were still figuring things out,” said Elon Musk on an earnings call earlier this week, adding that he thinks “version three is finally ready for the big time.”
本周早些时候埃隆·马斯克在业绩电话会议上说:“我们还在研究第一代和第二代产品,第三代产品终于可以大展身手了。”
Tesla’s Solar Roof website now includes a pricing estimator, which lists $42,500 as the total price for the average 2,000 square-foot home, with 10kW solar panels. It also lists $33,950 as the price after an $8,550 federal tax incentive.
特斯拉的太阳能屋顶官网上现在有价格计算器,普通的2,000平方英尺房子的瓦片总价为42,500美元,带有10千瓦的太阳能电池板,联邦税优惠8,550美元后价格为33,950美元。
You can also enter your address and get an updated estimate that takes into account local costs and incentives, and add on any Powerwalls (with three as the default for a 2,000 square-foot roof).
你也可以输入地址,获取最新估价,会把当地成本和联邦税优惠考虑在内,还会算上Powerwalls家用电池(2000平方英尺的屋顶默认有三块电池)。

8. 苹果推出AirPods Pro无线降噪耳机,造型酷似豌豆射手
2016年苹果首次推出AirPod时,有人嘲笑这款无线耳塞像挂在耳朵上的电动牙刷。现在这款耳机成了苹果最受欢迎的产品之一,公司也在这款产品上更加下功夫。
现在他们推出了更贵的AirPods Pro,网友觉得:这不是植物大战僵尸里的豌豆射手吗?
On Monday, Apple (AAPL) unveiled a high-end version of its popular AirPods. The new headphones have a new design, new features -- including noise cancellation technology -- and a higher price tag.
周一苹果推出了热销的AirPod的高端新品。这款新耳机设计新颖,功能创新,采用了噪音消除技术,价格也更高。
The premium version will cost $249. AirPods currently start at $159.
高级版售价249美元,目前AirPod的最低售价为159美元。
The company was widely expected to host its annual October event and unveil the new AirPods alongside other hardware products such as the iPad and MacBook Pro. Instead, it announced the product in a press release on Monday.
公众期待苹果在10月份一年一度的发布会上和iPad和MacBook Pro等其他硬件产品一起推出这款新的AirPod,但该公司在周一的新闻稿中公布了这一新产品。
In the release, the company referred to AirPods as "the best-selling headphones in the world" and said the new model will hit stores on Wednesday.
苹果在新闻稿中说AirPod是“世界最畅销耳机”,还说新型号将于周三上市。
The AirPods Pro comes with advanced noise cancellation technology, flexible ear tips to better fit in the user's ears and a transparency mode, which lets customers listen to music while still hearing the surrounding environment, Apple said.
苹果公司说AirPods Pro采用了高级的降噪技术,有弹性的入耳部位更贴合用户的耳朵,还有透明模式,让消费者听音乐时也能听见周围的声音。
Other new features include audio sharing, which allows users to sync up with a second pair of AirPods to listen to the same song or watch the same movie with a friend, as well as the ability for Siri to speak incoming messages.
新增功能还有音频共享,用户可以和其他AirPod同步听歌或和朋友同步看电影,Siri还可以进行消息通知。
推出AirPod的Pro版本是苹果最受欢迎产品推出高级版本的战略的一部分,Mac、iPhone和 iPad也都有高级版本。
尽管首席执行官蒂姆库克此前曾说这款耳机的需求量“惊人”,但苹果拒绝透露目前AirPod的销量。

9. 人造肉风潮持续大热,Beyond Meat赚翻了
图片来源:视觉中国
现在人造肉大火,本周Beyond Meat发布了第三季度收益,该公司第一次有了季度净利润并不让人感到意外。
这是该公司5月份上市以来的第一个完整季度。
The El Segundo, California-based company reported net revenues of $92 million, up 250% from the third quarter of 2018, and net income of $4.1 million (6 cents per diluted common share) versus a net loss of $9.3 million this time last year.
该公司总部位于加利福利亚州埃尔塞贡多,报告称净收入为9200万美元,较2018年第三季度增长了250%,净利润为410万美元(稀释后的普通股每股6美分),去年同期净亏损930万美元。
Refinitiv had forecast revenues of $82.2 million and EPS of 3 cents.
路孚特(金融市场数据和基础设施提供商)曾预计其收入为8220万美元,每股收益3美分。
Beyond Meat credited its quarterly performance with higher sales volume, the result of more interest in meat alternatives from stores, restaurants, and the food-service industry; international sales; and existing customers buying more of the company’s products. The company’s third quarter ended September 28.
Beyond Meat认为能有此季度业绩是因为销量提高了,商家、饭店和食品服务业对肉类替代品更感兴趣了,国际销量也有所提高,现有消费者对该公司产品的购买力也提高了。
该公司的第三季度截止到9月28日。
Beyond Meat’s IPO was one of the most successful in recent years.
Beyond Meat是近些年最成功的上市案例之一。
“We remain focused on expanding our distribution footprint, both domestically and abroad, building our brand, introducing new innovative products into the marketplace, and bolstering our infrastructure and internal capabilities to fuel our future growth,” president and CEO Ethan Brown said in a statement.
总裁兼首席执行官Ethan Brown在声明中说:
“我们依然将重点放在扩大国内外分销范围上,打造我们的品牌,向市场推出新的创新产品,加强我们的基础设施和内在能力,以推动未来增长。
”
Beyond Meat hit the big time in September when McDonald’s announced it was testing a new product called the P.L.T., which stands for Plant Lettuce Tomato and which features a plant-based burger by Beyond Meat. The 12-week run began September 30 at 28 restaurants in southwestern Ontario.
九月份麦当劳宣布要测试名为P.L.T. 的人造肉汉堡新产品时Beyond Meat就大展身手了,P.L.T.代表“植物、生菜、番茄”,特殊之处就是用了Beyond Meat提供的植物汉堡。
从9月30号开始安大略西南部的28家餐厅已经卖了12周。
Today, Denny’s said it’s launching the new Denny’s Beyond Burger at all its Los Angeles area restaurants.
现在丹尼连锁餐厅宣布要在其所有洛杉矶的餐厅推出新的丹尼超越汉堡。
The plant-based meat maker’s products are also sold at Dunkin’, Subway, TGI Fridays, Carl’s Jr., and Del Taco.
这家人造肉公司的产品也在唐恩都乐、赛百味、星期五美式餐厅、卡乐星汉堡和Del Taco餐厅有售。
高盛的亚当·萨缪尔森在10月21日的研究报告中指出,Beyond Meat面临最大的困难就是消费者是否能适应人造肉的问题、供应链扩张以及竞争。

10. 对抗冰川融化的新办法出炉:往两级撒玻璃珠
图片来源:图虫创意
过去几年内人类越来越意识到气候危机的紧迫性,但看到接二连三的关于全球问题的令人沮丧的报告,你能否原谅自己不知所措不知道能真正做点什么?
最近在纽约召开联合国气候行动峰会前夕,举办了首次年度全球气候恢复论坛,讨论新兴技术、创新想法以及偶尔有争议的解决全球变暖的方法。
而其中一个最新的对抗冰川融化的方法可能听起来有点奇怪:撒玻璃珠。
From ways to claw back CO2 emissions to how to stop the rapidly melting poles, geoengineering – once the remit of mad scientists and terrible sci-fi disaster movies – is being considered in a whole new light.
其中包括减少二氧化碳排放的方法,以及如何阻止两极冰川快速融化,曾经只被疯狂科学家和可怕的科幻灾难片提到的“地球工程”现在正以全新形式进入人类视野。
One of those ideas is an innovative way to not just prevent but actually restore the rapidly melting glaciers, ice sheets, and sea ice in the Arctic, which is currently warming twice as fast as anywhere else on Earth.
其中一个创新方法不是仅仅去避免,而是真正恢复北极迅速融化的冰川、冰原和海冰,目前北极变暖速度是地球上其他地方的二倍。
The solution, according to scientists at the aptly named non-profit Ice911 (“Take action for a cooler planet”), is to liberally scatter silica beads as fine as sand onto the ice to prevent it from melting by reflecting back the Sun’s rays.
名为Ice911的非营利组织(“努力给地球降温”)的科学家说,这一方法就是把细如沙子的硅珠大量撒在冰上,通过反射太阳光防止冰融化。
Reflective ice and snow are key to preventing the Earth from overheating. White surfaces like these reflect most of the radiation from the Sun’s rays back into space, keeping the planet cool and preventing further melt.
反光的冰雪是防止地球过热的关键,这些白色表明将大量太阳光中的辐射反射回太空中,保持地球凉爽,避免冰川进一步融化。
Reduced ice and snow that reveal darker surfaces like the ground, sea, or meltwater absorb more of this energy, trapping it as heat so the global temperatures rise and more ice melts. It’s a vicious cycle.
冰雪减少,露出地面、海洋或冰雪融水等深色表面,会吸收更多能量,将其转化为热量,导致全球气温上升,更多的冰融化,如此恶性循环。
