头条新闻导读
这里是《纽约时报》头条新闻。我是特蕾西·芒福德（Tracy Mumford）。今天是11月10日星期二。以下是我们的报道内容。
我们要先从一直在关注的三条重大新闻的快速更新开始。首先，
英文原文
[music]From the New York Times, it's the headlines. I'm Tracy Mumford. Today's Tuesday, November 10th. Here's what we're covering.
We're going to start with three quick updates on big stories we've been following. First,
特朗普否认曾获悉有关英伟达首席执行官与疑似间谍接触的情报
您今年5月早些时候去中国时，当时知道这些涉嫌与中国间谍有关联的事情吗？还是……？
不，我当时没听说过。但很多人都听说了，而且黄仁勋完全否认他有过——我今天问他了，因为我今天确实跟他通了话，就是想看看他感觉好不好。“你怎么样？”
特朗普总统昨天否认他曾听取过关于美国情报指称有疑似中国间谍接近英伟达首席执行官黄仁勋的简报。《纽约时报》报道称，大约一年前，特朗普选择不对该情报采取任何行动。总统一直对扰乱英伟达的芯片销售心存顾虑，而该公司的销售此前推动了股市大幅上扬。总体而言，关于黄仁勋与涉嫌间谍存在情爱关系的传闻，持续从华盛顿到硅谷再到北京引发震动，引发了对国家安全以及这家全球最有价值公司之一未来命运的质疑。周一，尽管大盘出现反弹，英伟达的股价仍大幅下跌。
英文原文
>> when you went to China earlier this year in May, did you know about these alleged ties with the Chinese spy then or?No, I didn't hear about it then. But a lot of people have heard about it and Jensen totally denies that he had I asked him today because I did speak to him today just to see if he's feeling all right. How you doing?
President Trump denied yesterday that he was briefed about US intel on a potential Chinese spy getting close to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The Times has reported that roughly a year ago, Trump chose not to do anything with that information. The president has been wary of disrupting Nvidia's chip sales, which have helped supercharge the stock market. Overall, news of Hang's romantic affair with the alleged spy continues to send shock waves from Washington to Silicon Valley to Beijing, raising questions about national security and the future of one of the world's most valuable companies. Nvidia's stock fell sharply on Monday even as the broader market rallied.
国防部长赫格塞斯面临众议院弹劾指控
接下来是昨天在国会山的消息：
该决议的形式如下：以重大罪行和不端行为弹劾国防部长彼得·布赖恩·赫格塞斯（Peter Brian Hegseth）。
来自肯塔基州的共和党众议员托马斯·马西（Thomas Massie）提出了针对国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）的八项弹劾条款。在被指控的罪行中，马西指责赫格塞斯未经国会授权擅自对伊朗发动战争、对涉嫌贩毒人员实施非法军事打击，以及非法抓捕委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗（Nicolás Maduro）。根据众议院规则，议员必须在两个立法日内审议任何弹劾条款。不过，国会领导层可能会利用程序性规则（例如将指控移交委员会），以试图阻止众议院就这些指控进行全体表决。赫格塞斯驳斥了这些指控，并称这项弹劾行动是一场政治骗局。他计划于今天上午举行新闻发布会以回应指控。
英文原文
Next on Capitol Hill yesterday,the form of the resolution is as follows. Impeaching Peter Brian Hegsathth, Secretary of Defense for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky introduced eight articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegsth. Among other alleged offenses, Massie accused Hegsth of waging war against Iran without congressional authorization, carrying out unlawful military strikes against suspected drug traffickers and unlawfully capturing Venezuela's President Nicholas Maduro. According to House rules, lawmakers must consider any articles of impeachment within two legislative days. Though congressional leaders could use procedural rules like sending the charges to a committee to try and head off a full House vote on the charges. Hegs has rejected the allegations and called the impeachment effort a political sham. He's scheduled to hold a press conference this morning to respond to the charges.
加州选民以微弱差距否决40号富豪税提案
[音乐]
最后一条简要更新：美国迄今针对超级富豪征税的最受关注的尝试已见分晓。昨晚，美联社确认加利福尼亚州选民以微弱差距否决了中期选举选票上备受争议的亿万富翁税。这项被称为40号提案（Prop 40）的措施本计划对亿万富翁的资产征收一次性5%的税款，并将大部分资金用于支付该州的医疗保障费用。这项税收源于美国国内对贫富不均日益加剧的愤怒。参议员伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders）称其为全国最重要的公投提案。但这在加州民主党内部引发了分歧，其中一些人表示这会赶走企业家、降低整体税收收入并在长期内损害州预算。一些本会受到该税冲击的加州亿万富翁投入巨资以期击败该提案，在选举前资助了电视上铺天盖地的攻击性广告。谷歌联合创始人谢尔盖·布林（Sergey Brin）个人花费超过1亿美元以击败该提案。
英文原文
[music]And last quick update, the verdict is in on the most high-profile attempt yet to tax the ultra wealthy in the US. Last night, the Associated Press determined that voters in California narrowly rejected a controversial tax on billionaires that was on the ballot in the midterms. The measure known as Prop 40 would have imposed a one-time 5% tax on billionaires assets, using most of the money to pay for health care in the state. The tax was born out of a growing anger over inequality in the US. Senator Bernie Sanders called it the most important ballot measure in the country. But it divided Democrats in California, some of whom said it would drive away entrepreneurs, lowering overall tax revenue and hurting the state budget in the long term. And some of the California billionaires who would have been hit by the tax poured money into defeating it, funding a wave of attack ads on TV ahead of the election. The co-founder of Google, Sergey Brin, spent more than hund00 million of his own money to defeat the measure.
《纽约时报》调查：特朗普政府的第三国遣返策略与规避法庭命令
现在带来一条《纽约时报》关于特朗普政府遣返策略的最新调查报道。自特朗普总统重新上任以来，该政府已达成了多项第三国遣返协议。这是他们针对那些无法在法律上被送回原籍国的移民所采取的解决方案。美国政府与其他愿意接收这些移民的国家达成协议，以换取资金或外交政策上的利益。但我同事们一直在追踪其中一些移民最终究竟去了哪里。我们意识到，特朗普政府驱逐到第三国的许多人正遭到系统性的遣送回原籍国，其中包括一些完全违背其个人意愿的情况，这些人被强行带上飞机，并受到监禁威胁。梅加·拉贾戈帕兰（Megha Rajagopalan）是《纽约时报》的调查记者。她说，在《纽约时报》确认的110多起案件中，拥有法院命令保护的人员被移交给外国政府，结果转头就被送回原籍国，而在原籍国他们面临酷刑、性侵犯或迫害的风险。
其中一个让我格外注意的故事是穆斯塔法·卡马拉（Mustafa Kamara）的故事，他曾是内布拉斯加州的一名护士。他在那里工作了很多年，甚至度过了COVID疫情大流行期。他后来签证逾期，被下令遣离美国。尽管移民法院裁定他不应被遣返回他的祖国冈比亚，因为他在那里会遭受迫害。然而，特朗普政府却把他送去了加纳。而在加纳，他们立刻告诉他将被迫返回他的祖国。而且这一切发生得非常、非常快。梅加说，接受她采访的人权组织表示，特朗普政府基本上想出了一种如台球借力折射般规避法院命令的手段。在明知违背法官命令的情况下将人员送回原籍国，是国际法下被称为“违抗推回（refoulement，不推回原则的违反）”的犯罪行为。国务院拒绝回答有关其项目是否构成“间接违抗推回”的问题。美国政府表示，并不追踪被驱逐者之后的境遇。
英文原文
Now, a new investigation from the Times about one of the Trump administration's deportation strategies. Since President Trump returned to office, the administration has struck a number of third country deportation deals. It's been their solution for what to do with immigrants who can't be legally sent back to where they're from. The US government has struck deals with other countries willing to take them instead in exchange for money or foreign policy favors. But my colleagues have been tracking where some of those immigrants are actually ending up. We realized that a lot of the people that the Trump administration is deporting to third countries were being systematically repatriated, including some really against their will, people that were forced onto planes and threatened with imprisonment. Mega Rajikopalin is an investigative reporter at the Times. She says in more than 110 cases the Times identified, people with courtordered protections were handed over to foreign governments only to then be passed on to their home countries where they risked torture, sexual abuse or persecution.One story that really stood out to me was the story of Mustafa Kamura who was a nurse back in Nebraska. He worked there for many years even through the COVID pandemic. He overstayed a visa and was later ordered removed from the United States. Although an immigration court said that he should not be removed to his home country of Gambia because he would be persecuted there. Instead, the Trump administration sent him to Ghana. And in Ghana, they told him immediately that he would be forced to return to his home country. And it happened really, really quickly. Mega says human rights groups she talked to say the Trump administration has basically developed a bankshot way of evading court orders. Knowingly returning people to their home countries against a judge's orders is a crime under international law known as refoulment. The state department would not answer questions about whether its program amounts to refilement by proxy. The US government has said it does not track what happens to deportes.
加州中海岸大量海鸟死亡事件
我最近走访了加利福尼亚州中海岸沿线的几个海滩，那里大约位于旧金山和洛杉矶的中点。远远看去，海滩显得很正常。我是说，人们在那里野餐，但只要你一开始在海滩上行走，就必须在死鸟的残骸中绕行，这些死鸟在过去几周里不断被冲上海岸。我交谈过的中海岸护林员表示，他们以前从未见过类似的情况。萨米亚·卡尔拉曼加（Soumya Karlamangla）为《纽约时报》报道加利福尼亚州的新闻，她说那里发生了严重的海鸟死亡事件。
在一个海滩上，护林员告诉她，仅在过去的几个月里，就有超过2500只患病和死亡的鸟类被冲上海岸。而去年同期，他们只发现了大约100只。那还仅仅是一个海滩。这一局势引起了科学家们的警觉，他们表示这些动物正难以生存，因为太平洋的水温正变得过高。今年，厄尔尼诺现象使情况进一步恶化，这种天气模式加剧了气候变化的影响。例如在蒙特雷湾（Monterey Bay），科学家们最近发现水温比平均水平高出了13度。
专家表示，随着海水温度升高，某些鸟类的主要食物来源——鱼类，似乎正在潜入更深的水下以寻找更低的温度。这导致一些鸟类饿死或极度消瘦地被冲上海岸。每个人都非常担忧。与我交谈过的科学家们都表示，这还只是他们所预期的厄尔尼诺现象的开始，而该现象预计在未来几个月内只会进一步加剧，并让海水温度变得更高。在一家动物医院，首席执行官表示，正如大家所知，我们使用“煤矿里的金丝雀”这句话是有原因的。鸟类能告诉我们很多正在发生的事情。而这确实是海洋中某些情况不对劲的迹象。萨米亚表示，今年的鸟类死亡情况非常极端，科学家们也在寻找变暖水域之外的其他因素。一位海洋生态学家对她说：“我们现在并没有所有的答案，因为引用他的原话，‘我们仍身处事件之中’。”
英文原文
I recently visited a number of beaches along California's central coast, which is about halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. From far away, the beach looks normal. I mean, people were having picnics, but then as soon as you start walking on the beach, you have to navigate around carcasses of dead birds that have been washing up for the past several weeks. And the rangers on the central coast that I talked to said that they haven't seen anything like this before. Samia Carla Manga covers California for the Times where she says there's been a major die-off of birds.At one beach, rangers told her more than 2500 sick and dead birds have washed up on shore in just the past few months. In the same period last year, they found only about a hundred. And that is just one beach. The situation has alarmed scientists who say the animals are struggling to survive because the water in the Pacific is getting too warm. And this year, El Nino is making things even worse with the weather pattern compounding the effects of climate change. In Monterey Bay, for example, scientists recently found that the water temperature was 13° higher than average.
Experts say as the water gets warmer, some birds main food source, fish, appear to be diving deeper, trying to find cooler temperatures. That's left some birds starving to death or washing up on shore emaciated. Everyone is really worried. The the scientists I talked to were all saying that this is kind of the beginning of what they expect with El Nino, which is expected to only worsen in the coming months and warm the water even more. At one animal hospital, the CEO was saying like, you know, there's a reason we use this phrase, the canary in the coal mine. Birds can tell us a lot about what's happening. And this is really a sign that something is not right in the ocean. Samia [music] says that the bird die off this year has been so extreme, scientists are also looking at other factors beyond warming waters. One marine ecologist told her, [music] "We don't have all the answers right now because we're quote still in this event.
M·约翰·哈里森凭借科幻小说荣获布克奖
最后在昨晚，图书界最重磅的奖项之一颁给了一部科幻小说。对于一个长期以来被斥为廉价庸俗（pulpy）或不上台面的类型而言，这是一次重大胜利。
我今晚真的没料到会站在这里。我、我真的没想到，但我确实站在这里了。
作家M·约翰·哈里森（M. John Harrison）凭借其小说《万物的终结》（The End of Everything）荣获布克奖（Booker Prize），该书构想了一个被外星人神秘接管的反乌托邦英国。根据布克基金会负责人的说法，这是该奖项近60年历史上首位科幻小说获奖者。她表示，虽然此前的一些获奖者（如玛格丽特·阿特伍德或石黑一雄）在其作品中带有科幻色彩，但《万物的终结》是首个引述原话“名副其实的”科幻获奖作品。顺带提一句，英国人把这种类型称为SF。在接受BBC采访时，哈里森本人表示，这种文学认可正是他几十年来一直与同行科幻作家探讨的事情。
我总是试图对我、嗯，科幻界的同行们说，你知道，为什么一部写得很好的科幻小说不能被视为文学小说，为什么、为什么我们不能朝这个方向努力？并且……
尽管哈里森在美国知名度不高，但英国的一些评论家称赞他是“你从未听说过的最优秀的作家”。布克奖的一位评委表示，她也是在完全没有任何预先了解、从未读过其作品的情况下接触到的，但阅读这部作品的感觉就像引述原话所说，“遇见了你余下的人生”。
英文原文
And finally, last night, one of the biggest awards in the world of books went to a science fiction novel. A major coup for a genre that has a long history of being dismissed as pulpy or unserious.I really didn't expect to be up here this evening. I I honestly didn't, but here I am.
The writer M. John Harrison won the Booker Prize for his novel, The End of Everything, which imagines a dystopian Britain mysteriously taken over by aliens. According to the head of the Booker Foundation, it's the first science fiction winner in the awards nearly 60-year history. She said while some previous winners like Margaret Atwood or Kazuo Ishiguro had facets of sci-fi in their work, The End of Everything is the first quote bonafide sci-fi winner. Brits called the genre SF. Just for the record, in a BBC interview, Harrison himself said this kind of literary recognition was something he'd been talking about with his fellow genre writers for decades.
I always tried to say to my um associates in SF, you know, why shouldn't a well-written SF be considered to be literary fiction and why why can't we work on that? And
though Harrison is not well known in the US, some critics in the UK have praised him as the best writer you've never heard of. One of the judges for the Booker said she also came in cold, having never picked up his work, but that reading it felt like quote meeting the rest of your life.
