来自《纽约时报》，这里是今日头条。我是特蕾西·芒福德（Tracy Mumford）。今天是10月29日，星期四。以下是我们的重点报道。

[music] From the New York Times, it's the headlines. I'm Tracy Mumpford. Today is Thursday, October 29th. Here's what we're covering.西班牙高铁追尾事故致至少68人死亡
在西班牙，《纽约时报》采访了当地一起造成至少68人死亡的列车相撞事故的幸存者，该事故成为该国历史上最严重的列车事故之一。
英文原文
In Spain, the Times has been speaking with survivors of the train crash that killed at least 68 people there, making it one of the deadliest train accidents in the country's history.事故发生在昨天上午，一列从马德里开往塞维利亚的高速客运列车追尾了停在同一轨道上的另一列列车。一名坐在行驶列车后方几节车厢的乘客表示，撞击将他震醒，转头看到一块金属飞穿过车厢，导致坐在他右侧的乘客遇难。另一名坐在更后排的乘客描述称，他爬出列车后迅速赶往前端施救。他说人们将部分残骸用作简易担架，轨道旁的杏仁林变成了临时野战医院。这是西班牙今年发生的第二起重大列车相撞事故。今年1月，同一家铁路运营商在同一条线路上发生的碰撞曾导致46人丧生。
英文原文
The crash occurred yesterday morning when one high-speed passenger train traveling from Madrid to Seville rearended another that was stopped on the same track. A passenger who was sitting a few cars back in the train that was moving said he was jolted awake by the impact and turned to see that a piece of metal had shot through the carriage, killing people seated to his right. Another passenger who was sitting farther back described climbing out of the train and rushing to help those who were near the front. He said people were using parts of the wreckage as makeshift stretchers and that the almond groves alongside the tracks became a kind of field hospital. The accident is the second major train crash this year in Spain. In January, 46 people died in a collision involving the same rail operators on the same line.在新闻发布会上，西班牙交通大臣表示，负责控制该区域列车信号的老化安全系统在昨天上午发生故障，迫使多列列车停车。随后，在部长称之为不可思议的决策中，交通调度人员允许一列列车继续前行，并且在该车逐渐逼近前方停靠列车时，仍未告知司机刹车。接连发生的致命事故震动了该国，加深了人们对西班牙高速铁路系统安全的担忧——该系统规模在欧洲最大，世界第二。
英文原文
In a press conference, Spain's transportation minister said the aging safety system that controls train signals in that area went down yesterday morning, forcing multiple trains to stop. Then in what the minister called an inexplicable decision, the traffic control operators allowed one train to continue its journey and did not tell the driver to break even as it closed in on another train still stopped ahead. The back-to back deadly accidents have rattled the country and deepened concerns about the safety of Spain's high-speed rail system, which is the largest in Europe and second largest in the world. [music]万斯提议重启对伊朗和平谈判
在华盛顿，《纽约时报》获悉，就在特朗普总统权衡重启对伊朗袭击的同时，副总统JD·万斯（JD Vance）已采取措施尝试重启和平谈判。
英文原文
In Washington, the Times has learned that even as President Trump has been weighing renewed strikes on Iran, Vice President JD Vance has taken a step to try and restart peace negotiations.上周，万斯向伊朗一位高层官员发函，提议双方近期就举行由万斯主导的会谈进行会面。据两国官员称，信中未具体说明会谈的地点或时间，但官员们表示最早可能于下周开始。万斯明确表示，伊朗核计划从一开始就必须摆上谈判桌。当昨天被记者问及该信件时，特朗普总统表示并非由他指示万斯联络，但他确实批准了其行动。副总统的一名发言人拒绝发表评论。据一名伊朗官员透露，万斯的提议在当地受到良好接纳，预计伊朗方面将在今天之前作出答复。
英文原文
Last week, Vance sent a letter to a top official in Iran proposing that the two sides meet soon for talks that Vance would lead. According to officials from both countries, the letter did not specify where or when those talks might be held, but the officials said they could start as early as next week. And Vance made clear that Iran's nuclear program must be on the negotiating table from the start. When asked about the letter yesterday by reporters, President Trump said he did not direct Vance to reach out, but he did sign off on him doing so. A spokesman for the vice president declined to comment. According to an official in Iran, Vance's proposal was wellreceived there and the country was expected to reply by today. [music]阿拉斯加参议院选票分流操作
接下来是两则关于中期选举的最新报道。首先，《纽约时报》获悉，阿拉斯加州民主党人曾秘密运作，试图在该州选票上做手脚，希望借此提振本党参议员候选人玛丽·佩尔托拉（Mary Peltola），以击败共和党现任参议员丹·沙利文（Dan Sullivan）。我的同事凯伦·布朗宁（Kellen Browning）在今天的《The Daily》节目中与迈克尔·巴巴罗（Michael Barbaro）一同梳理了他的调查发现。
英文原文
Now, two updates on the midterms. First, the Times has learned that Democrats in Alaska worked in secret to try and stack the state's ballot in hopes of boosting the party's Senate candidate Mary Pollah over the Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan. My colleague Kellen Browning walks through what he found on today's episode of The Daily with Michael Barbaro.去年夏天，佩尔托拉的幕僚高层与民主党高级操盘手碰头，制定了一项将其他候选人招募上参议员选票的计划。其目标是分散共和党选民，希望其中一些人投票给选票上的这些替代人选，从而削减沙利文参议员的选票，间接让民主党人玛丽·佩尔托拉获益。
英文原文
>> Last summer, top pelt aids huddled up with senior Democratic operatives. They came up with a plan to recruit other candidates onto the Senate ballot. And the goal was to divide Republican voters and hope that some of them would vote for these alternative candidates on the ballot, depriving Senator Sullivan of a vote and indirectly benefiting Mary Pelola, the Democrat.作为该行动的一部分，一名佩尔托拉的工作人员接到指示，要求列出一份阿拉斯加所有名为“丹·沙利文”的人员名单。阿拉斯加所有的“丹·沙利文”。
英文原文
>> As part of that effort, a Palah staff member was instructed to create a list of the Dan Sullivanss in Alaska. All of the Dan Sullivans in Alaska.是的，尽可能把能找到的都找出来。
英文原文
>> Yeah. As many of them as they could find.最终，两位“丹·沙利文”登上了选票：一位是共和党现任参议员，另一位是来自偏远小渔村的退休教师。在政治活动中，通过排布多名候选人来操纵选票的手段很常见，通常被视为合法，阿拉斯加两党都曾使用过这种策略。但这次行动揭示了民主党人在一场可能决定哪个政党掌控参议院的竞选中所付出的极大力度。司法部已提起诉讼，试图在沙利文参议员以微弱劣势落败的情况下阻止选举结果的认证。您可以在《The Daily》中收听凯伦的完整报道。
英文原文
>> Ultimately, two Dan Sullivans ended up on the ballot. The Republican incumbent and another, a retired teacher from a tiny fishing village. Ballot stacking tactics are common in politics and generally considered legal. They've been employed by both parties in Alaska. But this operation reveals the lengths Democrats went to in a race that could determine which party will control the Senate. And the Justice Department has already sued trying to block the certification of election results if Senator Sullivan narrowly loses. You can hear Kellen's full report on the Daily. [music]特朗普内阁成员竞选活动与《哈奇法》争议
接下来是关于中期选举的第二则更新。近期，特朗普内阁成员频繁出现在竞选活动现场。
英文原文
Now, a second update on the midterms. Recently, members of Trump's cabinet have become a familiar site on the campaign trail.“觉醒派培训、政治灌输、多元化配额、气候研讨会。”
英文原文
>> Woke trainings, political indoctrination, diversity quotas, climate seminars.国防部长皮特·海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）一直在艾奥瓦州和肯塔基州为候选人站台助选。商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克（Howard Lutnick）刚在阿拉斯加的一场集会上为当地共和党参议员候选人站台造势。交通部长肖恩·达菲（Sean Duffy）则亲自公开背书了密歇根州的共和党参议员候选人：“迈克·罗杰斯（Mike Rogers）若当选，将确保中国汽车无法在美国销售。”
英文原文
>> Defense Secretary Pete Hegs been stumping for candidates in Iowa and Kentucky. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik was just in Alaska at a rally talking up the Republican Senate candidate there. And Transportation Secretary Shawn Duffy has personally endorsed the Republican Senate candidate in Michigan. Miss Mike Rogers, if elected, will make sure that we don't have Chinese cars sold in America.这一类站台出场已屡见不鲜，但引起了政府伦理专家的警惕。专家表示，政府官员正在违反《哈奇法》（Hatch Act）——这部有近90年历史的法律旨在限制行政分支雇员参与政治活动，本应作为防止党派政治影响政府运作的缓冲屏障。在过去的几个月里，特朗普内阁中至少有九位部长及数名其他特朗普高级官员被正式指控违反《哈奇法》，涉及行为包括在参与竞选活动时使用官方政府头衔，或利用纳税人资金支付政治广告。在回应《纽约时报》的询问时，交通部代表称达菲遵守了所有道德法律；五角大楼表示海格塞斯出席活动均经过律师的严格审查与批准；商务部则未回应置评请求。《哈奇法》的执行在特朗普总统第二任期内明显放缓，专家担心这正在侵蚀这一基础性道德法规。
英文原文
>> These kinds of appearances have become commonplace, but they have alarmed government ethics experts who say the administration officials are violating the Hatch Act, a nearly 90-year-old law that limits how executive branch employees can participate in political activities. It's supposed to be a buffer against partisan politics influencing government operations. In the past few months, at least nine of Trump's cabinet secretaries and several other senior Trump officials have been formally accused of Hatch Act violations, such as using official government titles while engaging in campaign activities or using taxpayer funds to pay for political ads. In response to questions from the Times, a representative for the Transportation Department said Duffy abided by all ethics laws. The Pentagon said HEGs appearances were thoroughly vetted and cleared by lawyers. And the Commerce Department did not respond to a request for comment. [music] Enforcement of the Hatch Act has noticeably slowed during President Trump's second term, something experts fear is eroding the foundational ethics law. [music]民权与劳工领袖多洛雷斯·韦尔塔逝世
[音乐]
英文原文
>> [music]最后，
英文原文
>> And finally,“我们还有大量工作要做。所以，你知道的，我们绝不能停步。我们必须继续组织起来，让大家明白权力掌握在他们自己手中。”
英文原文
>> we have so much work that we need to do. So, you know, we can't really stop. We've got to keep on organizing and make people understand that they've got the power.劳工领袖兼民权活动家多洛雷斯·韦尔塔（Dolores Huerta）于昨日逝世，享年96岁。她最广为人知的是参与创立了后来的联合农场工人联盟（United Farm Workers），并在1960与70年代领导罢工与抵制运动，最终改变了相关法律，也改变了移民工人的命运。她曾是塞萨尔·查韦斯（Cesar Chavez）的副手，而查韦斯后来成为了该运动的代表人物。今年早些时候，《纽约时报》的报道揭露查韦斯曾有虐待行径，包括涉嫌侵害年轻女性的指控，而韦尔塔也站出来表示自己曾遭查韦斯强奸——这是她保守了数十年的秘密。她告诉《纽约时报》：“我从未对任何人谈及此事，之所以不说，是因为我只是不想伤害这场运动。”在罢工纠察线和抗议活动中，韦尔塔践行了马丁·路德·金（Martin Luther King Jr.）的非暴力民权策略；她曾被捕22次，遭受过警察和罢工破坏者的殴打。她还是14个孩子的母亲，有时在组织会议的间隙换尿布，而且她一直坚持政治组织工作直至90多岁。
英文原文
>> The labor leader and civil rights activist Dolores Werta died yesterday at age 96. She's best known for founding what became the United Farm Workers, leading strikes and boycots in the 60s and 70s that ultimately changed laws and changed the lives of migrant workers. She was second in command to Cesar Chavez, who became the face of the movement. Earlier this year, reporting from the Times revealed Chavez had been abusive with allegations he assaulted young girls and Werta came forward to say she had been raped by Chavez. something she kept a secret for decades. She told the Times, "I never talked about it to anybody, and the reason I didn't is because I just didn't want to hurt the movement." In her time on picket lines and at protests, Huerta practiced the nonviolent civil rights strategies of Martin Luther King Jr., she was arrested 22 times, taking beatings from police and strike breakers. She was also the mother of 14 children, sometimes changing diapers in between organizing meetings, and she kept working on political organizing right up into her 90s.我最后一次和她交谈时，我们不得不提前结束采访，因为她需要休息，以便赶往外地发表演讲。
英文原文
>> The last time I talked to her, we sort of had to cut the interview short because she had to rest up because she was traveling somewhere to give a speech.我的同事曼尼·费尔南德斯（Manny Fernandez）对韦尔塔及其工作做过广泛报道。她留下的最切实的遗产之一，是帮助创造了“Sí, se puede”这句口号，粗略翻译成英语就是“Yes, we can”（是的，我们能做到）。你知道，这是她在全美农场工人运动期间创造的，但这句口号流传了开来，传遍各地——那种带有积极鼓舞力量的口号。奥巴马总统当年竞选总统时就采纳了这句口号。直到今天，无论走到任何进步派集会或游行中，总会在某个时刻听到人群开始高呼“Sí, se puede”。而那一刻的呼喊，正是多洛雷斯·韦尔塔所留下的精神遗产。
英文原文
>> My colleague Manny Fernandez has covered Werta and her work extensively. One of the most concrete sort of legacies that she leaves behind is she helped coin cip which in the rough English translation means yes we can. She coined it you know when she was in the middle of the UFW movement but it caught on and that idea of yes we can that sort of like positive slogan. President Obama when he was running for president, he sort of adopted that slogan. And to this day, you couldn't go to any progressive rally or march and not at some point have a group of people start chanting Cece P. And the moment they would start chanting that, that's a sign of Dolores Worth's legacy.以上是今天的头条新闻。在中期选举即将来临之际，在有限时间内，《纽约时报》应用程序内的所有选举报道均可免费阅读。全部内容。您今天就可以下载该应用并跟踪最新动态。我是特蕾西·芒福德。头条新闻明天将为您带来最新消息和周五新闻问答。
