英文原文
From the New York Times, it's the headlines. I'm Tracy Mumford. Today is Monday, October 26th. Here's what we're covering.It is a busy time for elections. Last night in Brazil, tomorrow in Israel, next week in the US. We're going to start today with Brazil.
LULA
在那里,左翼总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦(Louise Anasio Lula Dilva)实现了引人注目的连任,打破了整个拉丁美洲保守派接连获胜的势头。在过去一年半的时间里,已有七位右翼总统候选人在该地区掌权,包括在哥伦比亚、智利、厄瓜多尔和哥斯达黎加。但卢拉以微弱优势保住了巴西总统之位,这是很少有民调机构预测到的。他击败了弗拉维奥·博索纳罗(Flavio Balssonaro);弗拉维奥的父亲雅伊尔·博索纳罗(Jier Balsinaro)是特朗普的盟友,在上次大选中败给卢拉后因企图发动政变而被定罪。
这次,他的儿子弗拉维奥·博索纳罗也拒绝承认卢拉的胜利,称在一名前法官昨日下令投票站延长开放两小时后,规则被“在比赛中途改变”。此前交通延误和恶劣天气扰乱了投票,双方都曾申请延长投票时间。但弗拉维奥·博索纳罗现在要求宣布选举无效。
英文原文
LULATHERE, the leftist president Louise Anasio Lula Dilva pulled off a remarkable reelection, ending a string of conservative wins across Latin America. Over the last year and a half, seven right-wing presidential candidates have come to power there, including in Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, and Costa Rica. But Lula narrowly held on to the presidency in Brazil, something few pollsters predicted. He won out over Flavio Balssonaro, whose father, Jier Balsinaro, a Trump ally, was convicted of attempting a coup after losing to Lula himself in the last election.
This time, the son, Flavio Balssonaro, has also refused to recognize Lula's victory, saying the rules changed, quote, in the middle of the game after a judge ordered polls to remain open for an additional 2 hours yesterday. Extra time was something both parties requested after transportation delays and bad weather disrupted voting. But Flavio Balssonaro now wants the election to be anoldled.
特朗普政府与美国中期选举诉讼
现在转向美国,距离中期选举还有一周时间,特朗普总统对选举的攻击进入了全新的先发制人阶段。
他退出了阿拉斯加的诉讼……
“嗯,是我,我是那个说去起诉的人。”本届政府已提起诉讼,要求联邦法院在共和党现任议员微弱败选的情况下,阻止确认阿拉斯加参议院竞选的结果。
一个是丹尼尔·S(Daniel S.),一个是丹尼尔·J(Daniel J.)。丹尼尔·J是……
英文原文
Now to the US where one week out from the midterms, President Trump's attacks on elections have entered a new preemptive phase.And he's off of the Alaska lawsuit with
Well, I'm the I'm the one that said do it. The administration has filed a lawsuit asking a federal court to block certification of election results in the Alaska Senate race if the Republican incumbent narrowly loses.
One is Daniel S. One is Daniel J. The Daniel J is the
这与两位丹·沙利文(Dan Sullivan)竞选该席位的事实有关。其中一位是现任共和党参议员,正在争取连任。选票上其名字旁边标有“现任”(incumbent)字样。另一位丹·沙利文在选票上没有列出任何党派归属,但政府辩称他的出现造成了混淆,并可能分流足够的选票,使选举向民主党倾斜。
共和党人声称他实际上是民主党的“卧底”,民主党对此予以否认。选举法专家表示,特朗普的诉讼缺乏法律依据,很可能会败诉。但这也许不是重点。该诉讼只是特朗普政府为了对选举进程实施更多控制而发起的一系列联邦行动攻势中的一部分。法院已经阻止了其中的许多努力,例如最高法院驳回了特朗普让邮政系统筛选邮寄选票的计划。但随着每一次提出选举欺诈指控,特朗普都在播下更多怀疑的种子。一些州官员和选举专家担心,他正在继续打基础,以便在其政党败选时对结果提出质疑。
英文原文
>> It has to do with the fact that there are two Dan Sullivans running for that seat. One is the current GOP senator trying for another term. The ballot says incumbent right next to his name. The other Dan Sullivan is not listed with any party affiliation on the ballot, but the administration is arguing that his presence is causing confusion and that he could siphon off enough votes to skew the election toward Democrats.Republicans have claimed he's actually a Democratic plant, which the party denies. Election law specialists say Trump's lawsuit lacks legal basis and will likely fail. But that might not be the point. The suit is just one piece of a blitz of federal actions by the Trump administration to assert more control over the electoral process. The courts have blocked many of those efforts like the Supreme Court rejecting Trump's plan to have the postal service screen mail and ballots. But with each claim of election fraud, Trump is sowing more doubt. And some state officials and election experts worry he's continuing to lay the groundwork to challenge the results should his party lose.
委内瑞拉反对派领袖马查多回国
最后一条政治最新动态,来自委内瑞拉。
在流亡近一年后,广受欢迎的反对派领袖玛丽亚·科里纳·马查多(Maria Karina Machado)昨日回国,全国各地聚集起庆祝的大批人群。马查多去年被授予诺贝尔和平奖,以表彰她在面对前威权领导人尼古拉斯·马杜罗(Nicholas Maduro)时为推动委内瑞拉民主所做的工作。在美国抓捕并逮捕马杜罗后,她曾希望回国并尝试领导委内瑞拉,但白宫没有支持她,反而据她说她被多次阻拦回国。然而这一次,美国没有干预,马查多现已回国并呼吁举行大选,届时她可能成为对抗当前受特朗普支持的领导人德尔西·罗德里格斯(Deli Rodriguez)的主要竞争者。马查多的出现也可能给委内瑞拉政府与特朗普政府之间的联盟带来一些不确定性。马查多曾批评美国与委内瑞拉最近达成的一项重大石油协议,当时美国一直致力于从该国开采石油和其他自然资源。
英文原文
And last politics update, this one from Venezuela.After nearly a year in exile, the popular opposition leader Maria Karina Machado returned home yesterday as huge crowds gathered across the country in celebration. Machado was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last year for working to promote democracy in Venezuela in the face of former authoritarian leader Nicholas Maduro. She had hoped to return to try and lead Venezuela after the US seized and arrested Maduro, but the White House didn't back her and instead she said she was repeatedly blocked from going home. This time, however, the US did not intervene and Machado is now back and calling for elections where she could be a top contender against the current Trumpbacked leader, Deli Rodriguez. Machado's presence could also inject some uncertainty into the alliance between the Venezuelan government and the Trump administration. Machado has criticized a major oil deal that the US and Venezuela struck recently as the US has been working to extract oil and other natural resources from the country.
中东情报与美伊紧张局势
在中东,据美国官员称,由于有情报显示伊朗正处于策划针对美国人袭击的高级阶段,美国政府已让其人员进入高度戒备状态。一些外交官和其他人员已被下令离开该地区。在过去的几周里,分析人员一直在审查有关这些威胁的情报。官员们表示,这些计划还包括欧洲境内的潜在目标。一名官员告诉《时报》,这些材料表明伊朗在美国境内可能也有特工人员。
这些都是早期报告,我们并不真正了解底层的情报是什么。我们不知道它的确凿程度如何,具体策划的明确程度有多高。同样非常重要的是要记住,伊朗袭击美国官员的野心,大于他们的实际能力。
为《时报》报道情报领域的同事朱利安·巴恩斯(Julian Barnes)指出,这一切发生的同时,伊朗内部官员似乎坚信美国和以色列正准备在那里发动另一场重大袭击,作为迫使其投降的最后一击。从本质上讲,事态已经达到了威胁和恐惧的新高度。
英文原文
In the Middle East, the US government has put its staff on high alert because of intelligence showing Iran is in the advanced stages of planning attacks against Americans, according to US officials. Some diplomats and others have already been ordered to leave the region. Analysts have been examining intelligence on the threats for the last few weeks. And officials say the plans also include potential targets in Europe. And one official told the Times the material indicates Iran may have operatives in the United States as well.These are early reports and we don't know really what the underlying intelligence is. We don't know how strong it is, how specific the plots are. And what's also really important to remember is that the Iranian ambition to strike US officials, that ambition is greater than their capability. My colleague Julian Barnes covers intelligence for the Times. He says this is all coming at the same time as officials inside Iran appear convinced that the US and Israel are preparing to unleash another major attack there in a final push to force a surrender. Essentially, things have reached a new level of threat and fear.
当你与西方官员乃至中东外交官交谈时,他们审视这一切并表示我们正处于极其危险的境地。
当两个国家处于这种高度戒备、高度担忧的状态时,错误往往很容易演变成更大规模的冲突。一份糟糕的情报、一次误判、一枚偏航的导弹、一枚蓄意的导弹——所有这些都可能引发一场更大的冲突。它们可能在未来几天内重新引燃一场非常激烈的战争。
英文原文
>> When you talk to Western officials and even Middle East diplomats, they look at all of this and they say we're in an incredibly dangerous situation.When two countries are in this sort of state of heightened awareness, heightened worry, that is when it becomes easy for a mistake to cascade into a larger conflict. a bad piece of intelligence, a miscalculation, a errant missile, a deliberate missile. All of these could touch off a much larger conflration. They could touch off a return to a very intense war in the coming days.
玻璃摩天大楼与气候变暖的建筑反思
多年来,在世界各地的城市中,现代天际线的标志性形象一直都是高耸的玻璃摩天大楼。但在一个全球温度越来越热的变暖世界里,关于这些设计是否真正合理存在着越来越多的争论。落地窗显然带来了更多的光线,并提供了迷人而广阔的视野。但与实体墙相比,它们吸收的环境热量最多可达10倍。它们真正只能依靠大量的空调才能适合居住,而这正在对能源资源造成越来越大的消耗。
特别是一些阳光充沛国家的高楼大厦正在尝试适应。例如科威特的一栋建筑仅在南向墙面上开小窗。那里的另一栋建筑则用提供遮阳的垂直翼板隔断玻璃墙。新加坡的一家玻璃酒店则拥有缠绕着植物的钢网骨架。使用多层玻璃或采用超薄热反射涂层进行处理也能起到帮助作用。建筑师表示,我们可以从回顾历史中吸取经验。过去的高层建筑主要由沉重的砖石砌成,只有很小的窗户,这在防热方面起到了很大的作用。
最近的一项研究对比了纽约的九栋高楼,其中包括该市最古老的摩天大楼之一——建于1929年的著名克莱斯勒大厦(Chrysler Building),结果发现这座老式建筑的能源效率遥遥领先。
英文原文
For years in cities around the world, the defining image of the modern skyline has been soaring glass skyscrapers. But in a warming world where temperatures everywhere are getting hotter and hotter, there's a growing debate about whether those designs really make sense. The floor to ceiling windows obviously let in more light and allow for glamorous sweeping views. But compared to a solid wall, they also let in as much as 10 times more ambient heat. They're truly only habitable with a lot of air conditioning, which is becoming a bigger and bigger drain on energy resources. Towers in some countries that get a lot of sun in particular are trying to adapt. One building in Kuwait, for example, put only small windows on the southern walls. Another one there breaks up walls of glass with vertical fins that provide shade. And a glass hotel in Singapore has a steel mesh skeleton strung with plants. Using multiple layers of glass or treating it with ultra thin heat reflective coatings can also help. And architects say we could learn from looking to the past. Tall buildings used to be mainly built out of heavy masonry with only little windows, which made a difference heatwise.One recent study compared nine highrises in New York, including one of the city's oldest skyscrapers, the famous Chrysler building from 1929, and found the vintage building was by far the most energy efficient.
周末北美票房对决
最后,
“我怎么了?”
“你必须学会控制它。”
本周末在票房上上演了一场史诗般的对决,一方是漫画书中的反派角色,另一方是——
“我为什么要欺骗你?”
——声名狼藉的Theranos创始人伊丽莎白·霍姆斯(Elizabeth Holmes)。
英文原文
And finally,what's happening to me?
You have to learn to control it. It was an epic clash at the box office this weekend between a comic book villain and
why would I deceive you?
Elizabeth Holmes, the disgraced founder of Theronos.
最终,关于一个不太知名的蝙蝠侠反派的电影《泥脸》(Clayface)位列榜首,但仅以微弱优势领先,仅比关于霍姆斯的纪录片《你全都能看见》(You Can See Everything)多出400万美元。一部近三个小时的纪录片能与一部超级英雄电影势均力敌实属罕见,但《你全都能看见》已经成为自20多年前迈克尔·摩尔(Michael Moore)的《华氏911》(Fahrenheit 9/11)以来同类纪录片中票房最高的作品。票房上的附加说明是,其他带有音乐元素的纪录片(例如演唱会电影)票房更高。
这部由内森·菲尔德(Nathan Fielder)和兰斯·奥彭海姆(Lance Oppenheim)执导的《你全都能看见》收获了如潮好评。作为一个亲自坐在满场影院第一排最后一个空位上、为了看电影只能抬头直直仰望银幕的人——确实,哇哦。在好莱坞,一些奥斯卡预测人士正在将其热议为最佳影片提名的有力竞争者,这对于纪录片而言将是开创先例的。
英文原文
>> Ultimately, the movie Clayface about a lesserk known Batman bad guy came out on top, but just barely, only $4 million ahead of the documentary about Holmes, You Can See Everything. It is not often that a nearly three-hour documentary holds its own against a superhero movie, but you can see everything has become the highest grossing documentary of its kind since Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 more than 20 years ago. The earnings caveat is that other documentaries with musical elements, think concert movies, have grossed more.Directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, you can see everything has been getting breathlessly positive reviews. As someone who personally sat in the very last seat available in the very front row in a packed theater, looking straight up at the screen just to see it. Yeah. Whoa. In Hollywood, some Oscars forecasters are talking it up as a contender for a best picture nomination, which would be a first for a documentary.
