[music] From the New York Times, it's the headlines. I'm Tracy Mumford. Today is Friday, October 30th. [music] Here's what we're covering.特朗普政府加码介入加州与阿拉斯加中期选举
距离中期选举仅剩4天，特朗普政府加大了介入选举的力度。其中最引人注目的举动发生在加利福尼亚州和阿拉斯加州。在加利福尼亚州，政府一直试图阻止该州清点约20,000名据其称可能是非公民的人员的选票，
英文原文
With 4 days to go until the midterms, the Trump administration has stepped up its attempts to intervene in the elections. The most high-profile efforts are playing out in California and Alaska. In California, the administration has been trying to block the state from counting the votes of some 20,000 people it claims are likely noncitizens,尽管多项研究表明这类舞弊极其罕见。一名联邦法官坚决驳回了这一企图，但司法部官员还暗示，他们将对不满足其搁置选票要求的地方选举官员进行调查和起诉。现在，《纽约时报》获悉，司法部已向部分选举官员发出了联邦大陪审团传票。收到传票的人员中至少有两人就职于洛杉矶县选民登记处，该登记处的负责人发表声明，直指这些传票属于恐吓行为。
英文原文
though studies have found that kind of fraud is very rare. A federal judge resoundingly rejected that effort, but Justice Department officials have also suggested they would investigate and prosecute local election officials who do not meet their demands to set aside ballots. Now, the Times has learned the DOJ has issued federal grand jury subpoenas to some election officials. At least two of those who were subpoenaed work at the Los Angeles County registars's office, and the registar issued a statement calling the subpoenas intimidation.类似关于非法选民大批涌入的指控最近在审查下纷纷瓦解。上个月，内华达州的选举官员表示，他们审查了国土安全部提供的一份约200名所谓被不当登记投票的非公民名单。他们发现名单上的每一个人都是合法公民。
英文原文
Similar claims about a flood of illegal voters have recently fallen apart under scrutiny. Last month, election officials in Nevada said they examined a list provided by the Department of Homeland Security of about 200 supposed non-citizens who had been improperly registered to vote. And they found that every person on the list was a lawful citizen.而在阿拉斯加州，司法部已向数十人发出传票，这些人被认为与民主党操弄该州参议院选票名册（stack the ballot）的行动有关。据熟悉调查的官员透露，
英文原文
And in Alaska, the Justice Department has issued dozens of subpoenas to people believed to be connected to a Democratic effort to stack the state's Senate ballot. According to officials familiar with the investigation,此举是在《纽约时报》发表报道之后做出的。该报道指出，与民主党参议员候选人玛丽·佩尔托拉（Mary Peltola）结盟的操盘手参与招募了一名与共和党现任参议员丹·沙利文（Dan Sullivan）同名同姓的候选人，试图以此分流选票。塞选票（Ballot stacking）是一种数十年来被两党广泛使用的古老手段。今年，共和党人也在阿拉斯加使用了塞选票策略，试图在参议院初选中扶持民主党候选人，以分流佩尔托拉的选票。这种做法通常被认为是合法的，尽管具有误导性。在特朗普总统的指示下，司法部已经提起诉讼，试图在共和党现任议员以微弱差距落败时阻止阿拉斯加州确认选举结果。法律专家告诉《纽约时报》，这起诉讼胜诉的机会并不大。
英文原文
the move came after the Times published reporting that operatives aligned with Democratic Senate candidate Mary Pelah were involved in recruiting a candidate with the same name as the Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan to try and siphon off votes. Ballot stacking is an age-old practice that's been used by both parties for decades. And this year, Republicans also used ballot stacking in Alaska, trying to prop up Democratic candidates in the Senate primary to siphon votes from Pelola. The practice is generally considered legal, if misleading. At President Trump's direction, the Justice Department has already filed a lawsuit to try and block Alaska from certifying the results if the Republican incumbent narrowly loses. Legal experts tell the Times the suit does not have a good chance of succeeding.五角大楼发起前所未有的泄密排查与将领解职
在五角大楼，一场极不寻常的排查泄密行动正在展开。
英文原文
At the Pentagon, there's been a highly unusual campaign underway to hunt for leaks.获取机密与绝密信息是一项神圣的信任。而背叛这种信任的人将受到法律的最严厉惩处。在有关与伊朗的战争如何耗尽美军武器储备的新闻报道出现后，国防部长皮特·海格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）指责那些分享信息的人背叛了美国。
英文原文
>> Access to confidential and secret information is a sacred trust. And those who betray that trust will be met with the full force of the law. After news reports emerged about how much the war with Iran has diminished the US weapons stockpile, Defense Secretary Pete Hegth accused those sharing information, of betraying the US.泄露的信息危及生命。
英文原文
>> Leaked information risks lives.政府调查人员随后对包括多名高级官员在内的数十名军方工作人员进行了测谎测试，这一举措在美国现代历史上是史无前例的。如今，海格塞斯在指控陆军中将布雷特·西尔维亚（Brett Sylvia）向媒体分享与伊朗和俄罗斯有关的机密信息后，将其解职。五角大楼没有提供支持这些指控的任何细节或证据，仅在一份声明中表示西尔维亚中将未能通过三次测谎。这些测试通常被认为是不可靠的，以至于它们在军事法庭上不能作为证据被采纳。两位官员告诉《纽约时报》，在调查期间，西尔维亚否认分享了任何敏感或机密信息。这位将军此前一直在联合参谋部担任战略规划主任，在协调针对乌克兰、伊朗和全球的军事计划中发挥了关键作用，他的免职让许多陆军高级军官感到震惊和愤怒。高级官员告诉《纽约时报》，在海格塞斯的领导下，五角大楼内部弥漫着极度不信任和疑神疑鬼的气氛。总共有超过80名将军或海军将领被海格塞斯解职或边缘化，而在大多数情况下，他们被解雇时甚至未被告知原因。
英文原文
>> Government investigators then subjected dozens of military staffers, including top ranking officials, to polygraph tests, a move that's unprecedented in modern US history. Now, Hegsth has fired a top army general after accusing him of sharing classified information with the media related to Iran and Russia. The Pentagon did not offer any details or proof in support of those allegations, aside from a statement saying that Lieutenant General Brett Sylvia failed three polygraph exams. Those exams are generally viewed as unreliable to the point that they're not admissible as evidence at a court marshal. Two officials told the Times that during the investigation, Sylvia denied sharing any sensitive or classified information. The general had been serving on the joint staff as the director of strategy, playing an essential role in coordinating military plans in Ukraine, Iran, and around the world, and his dismissal shocked and angered many senior army officers. Under Hegsth leadership, senior officials tell the Times that there's an atmosphere of deep distrust and paranoia inside the Pentagon. In all, Hegath has dismissed or sidelined more than 80 generals or admirals, and in most cases, they were fired without ever being told the reason. [music]以色列大选结果出炉：无一派系过半导致政局悬疑
在以色列，本周选举的最终计票结果于今天清晨公布，证实总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡（Benjamin Netanyahu）的极右翼联盟和主要反对派阵营都未能赢得足够的席位来单独组阁。这意味着该国将迎来数周的政治博弈与不确定性，而这一切都将归结于基本的数字计算。在该国的议会制下，目标是达到61个席位以获得绝对多数。内塔尼亚胡及其极右翼盟友拥有53席。由加迪·埃森科特（Gadi Eisenkot）领导的反对派阵营获得了48席。关于接下来会发生什么，已经提出了多种设想。埃森科特可以寻求与阿拉伯政党结盟，但这对他阵营内部的一些人来说很可能是无法接受的。或者他甚至可以与内塔尼亚胡联手组建潜在的联合政府。尽管埃森科特曾对内塔尼亚胡发起激烈的竞选抨击，称这位总理正在将以色列推向威权主义并破坏其国际地位。
英文原文
In Israel, the final vote count for this week's election was released early this morning, and it confirmed that neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's hard-right coalition nor the main opposition block won enough votes to form a government on its own. That means the country is in for weeks of political jockeying and uncertainty, and it will all come down to basic math. For the country's parliamentary system, the goal is to get to 61 seats for an outright majority. Netanyahu and his hard-right allies have 53. The opposition block led by Gotti Eisenkott got 48. A number of scenarios about what will happen now have been floated. Eisenhot could seek an alliance with Arab parties, but that's likely to be a no-go for some in his block. or he could even join forces with Netanyahu in a potential unity government. Though Eisenhot ran a fierce campaign against Netanyahu, saying the prime minister was pushing Israel toward authoritarianism and destroying its international standing.到了一定阶段，如果没有人能够设法组建政府，就将举行新的选举。但该国许多人都希望避免这种情况。在2019年至2022年期间，以色列曾因这种政治僵局而陷入实质上的瘫痪，当时选民先后进行了五次投票。
英文原文
At a certain point, if no one can maneuver to form a government, new elections will be held. But many in the country want to avoid that. Israel was effectively paralyzed by that kind of political deadlock between 2019 and 2022 when voters went to the polls five times.卡尔·布什比历时28年徒步环球之旅接近终点
最后，
英文原文
>> And finally,我想我以前从来没有真正想象过回家会是什么样子，因为眼前总是有太多事情要应对。历经28年、跋涉31,000英里后，卡尔·布什比（Karl Bushby）几乎完成了环球徒步。
英文原文
>> don't think I ever really imagine what it would be like to get home cuz it was just there was so much in front of you. After 28 years and 31,000 miles, Carl Bushby is almost done walking across the globe.我总觉得自己有些东西需要去证明。
英文原文
>> I always felt like I had something to prove.而我证明的方式就是走出去，做一件极其不可思议以至于人们连想都不敢想的事，做一件规模如此庞大的事。
英文原文
>> And the way I was going to prove it was going out and by doing something so dumb that people would even think of it doing something on that scale.所以，我想那是我的“看我的吧”（hold my beer）。
英文原文
>> So, I think that was my hold my beer.是啊，[笑声]
英文原文
>> Yeah, [laughter]“我做给你们看。”
英文原文
>> I show you.他没料到这会花费他这么长时间，但一路上遇到了不少波折。这位前英国陆军伞兵于1998年从南美洲最南端启程。他当时揣着大约500美元，推着一辆简陋的手推车。他就这样迈开双腿前行，穿越了世界上一些气候最恶劣的地区，最近他在沿途接受我的同事乔纳森·沃尔夫（Jonathan Wolfe）采访时谈到了这些经历。
英文原文
>> He did not think it would take him this long, but there were a few complications. The former paratrooper in the British Army started his trip in 1998 at the southernmost tip of South America. He had about 500 bucks and a glorified push cart. And he just started walking, crossing through some of the world's harshest climates, which he described to my colleague Jonathan Wolf recently in an interview along his route.这感觉就像是一个又一个奇迹。我是说，横渡白令海峡，从俄罗斯联邦安全局（FSB）的魔爪中脱身且免于牢狱之灾，简直是个天大的奇迹。所以，做这件事情需要很多运气。
英文原文
>> And it feels like it's one miracle after another. I mean, getting across the bearing straight, getting out of the jaws of the FSB in Russia and not going to jail was a freaking miracle. So, there's a lot of luck involved in doing this.布什比确实中途休息过几次，有时是迫于无奈，比如遭到驱逐出境，或者因战争与疫情受阻，但在这些情况下，他总是会在中断的地方重新启程。如今，在穿越了南美洲、北美洲、亚洲、欧洲并游泳横渡英吉利海峡之后，如果一切按计划进行，他将于周一回到位于英格兰赫尔（Hull）的母亲家中。这将是一场迟到已久的家庭团聚。布什比踏上旅程时，他的儿子年仅8岁。如今儿子已经36岁了，布什比还有一个素未谋面的孙女。这位环球步行者表示，他一直在反思这么长时间离开家庭对自己意味着什么。但他希望这段旅程能让沿途来看望他的儿子感到骄傲。如今终点在望，当被问及对走完这段旅途有什么感受时，布什比表示心里会有些五味杂陈。
英文原文
>> Bushb did take some breaks, sometimes out of necessity, like if he was deported or way by war or the pandemic, but in those cases, he always picked up right where he'd left off. And now after traversing South America, North America, Asia, Europe, and swimming across the English Channel, he's due to show up back at his mom's house in Hull, England on Monday, if things go according to plan. It'll be a long overdue family reunion. When Bushb started his journey, his son was 8 years old. Now he's 36, and Bushb's got a granddaughter he's never met. The world walker said he wrestled with what it's meant for him to be away this long. But he hoped the journey would make his son who's come to see him along the route proud. Now with the end in sight when asked how he feels about finishing his walk, Bushby said it will be a little bittersweet.你知道，我的生存意义马上就要戛然而止了。这占据了我半辈子的时光。嗯，时不时地，我……我会意识到这一点。所以，随着我们继续前进，我想心中难免有些惴惴不安。我到达的那天将会是个重大的日子。而我真的不确定第二天早上醒来会是怎样的心情。至少这一点我很清楚。
英文原文
>> My, you know, purpose for living is about to abruptly end. It's been half my life. Um, and every now and then I I remember that. So, there's some apprehension there, I think, as we as we go forward. Um, it's going to be a big day on my arrive. And I'm not sure how I'm going to feel the next morning. I know that much.

英文原文
First up,很高兴回到底特律。
英文原文
>> it's good to be back in Detroit.在中期选举前夕的最后冲刺阶段，前总统巴拉克·奥巴马一直在外奔走，在关键选战中为民主党人站台拉票。而且他在批评特朗普总统时毫不避讳。
英文原文
>> In the very final stretch of campaigning before the midterms, former President Barack Obama has been out on the trail stumping for Democrats in key races. And he has not been shy about criticizing President Trump.这家伙正在建一个比白宫还大的宴会厅，还把玫瑰园铺平了。
英文原文
>> Guy is building a ballroom that is bigger than the White House. paved over the rose garden.尤其是，奥巴马把矛头对准了特朗普一直在进行的各项翻修工程，打趣说现在的白宫看起来就像是某位前世界领导人开的连锁餐厅——这位领导人的名字在这里被我们消音了。
英文原文
>> In particular, Obama took aim at all of the renovations Trump has been up to, joking that the White House now looks like if a chain restaurant was opened by a certain former world leader whose name we've dinged out here.我是说，他让白宫看起来就像开了一家芝乐坊餐馆（Cheesecake Factory）。

英文原文
>> Hi, Mr. Secretary. It's an interesting lunch choice, so they wouldn't you order.特朗普的一位内阁成员甚至随后特意去了芝乐坊，试图指责奥巴马拿这一神圣大众机构开玩笑是搞精英主义。这是哪位内阁成员？你知道吗？是财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）。
英文原文
>> One of Trump's cabinet member even then went to the Cheesecake Factory to try and call out Obama as elitist for joking about the hallowed institution. Which cabinet member was it? Do you know? It was Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant.我点了我一直常吃的，法式蘸汁芝士汉堡。
英文原文
>> I have what I always had, the the French dip cheeseburger.进入下一题，同样是关于中期选举。到下周这一切尘埃落定之时，各竞选团队和政治团体在众议院和参议院席位争夺战上的广告支出将接近40亿美元。根据《纽约时报》对媒体支出的分析，其中超过四分之一的资金仅花在了三场参议院选举中。你能说出所有这些资金都流向了哪三个州吗？
英文原文
Moving on to the next question, also about the midterms. By the time this is all over next week, campaigns and political groups will have spent almost $4 billion on advertising for House and Senate races. According to a Times analysis of media spending, more than a quarter of that is being spent on just three Senate races. Can you name which three states all that money has been going toward?排在第三位的是密歇根州。广告支出位居第二的是得克萨斯州。
英文原文
Coming in at number three is Michigan. The second most ad spending has been happening in Texas.而广告投入资金最多的是俄亥俄州的参议院竞选。在那里，共和党参议员约翰·胡德正在迎战民主党人谢罗德·布朗（Sherrod Brown）以捍卫其席位。仅在那一场竞选中，广告花费就接近5亿美元。
英文原文
And the most money has gone to ads for the Senate race in Ohio. There, Republican Senator John Huad is defending his seat against Democrat shared Brown. Almost $500 million has been spent on ads in that race alone.

>> [music] >> And last question. A major American city has been looking for a new voice, specifically an authentic voice to welcome people at the airport. More than 5,000 people sent in auditions to be the one to record all of those greetings and announcements for travelers.

英文原文
>> The answer, Boston. We're wicked glad you're here. The winner of the competition to be the new voice of Logan International Airport will be announced next week after Massachusetts residents were encouraged to vote online. And notably, there is no cash prize for winning, just the chance to be a star. [music]好，现在我们临时插播一道根据昨天傍晚收到的消息追加的问答题。我将播放一小段音频，说话者的声音你几乎肯定听过，但可能从未听过他带有浓重家乡口音的声音。
英文原文
Okay, now we are shoehorning one more quiz question in here from news that came in late yesterday. I'm going to play a quick clip of someone whose voice you have almost certainly heard, but probably never in his thick hometown accent.我肯定会被问到，上一个母亲和父亲，你们走了吗？因为那肯定是老苏珊娜。哎呀，一直卧床不起，还咳嗽着。
英文原文
>> I will certain be asked in last mother and father, were you off? Cuz that had to be old Susanna. Well, laid up your bed, we a cough.那是谁？
英文原文
>> Who was that?那是演员帕特里克·斯图尔特（Patrick Stewart）在接受《连线》（Wired）杂志采访时模仿的一段约克郡方言。这是英格兰北部的口音，当他步入戏剧、电视和电影界时，曾努力改掉这种口音，凭借《星际迷航》中的让-卢克·皮卡德（Jean-Luc Picard）以及许多其他角色赢得了全世界的喜爱。斯图尔特于昨天去世，享年86岁。作为他留下的传奇遗产的一部分，人们称赞他进入了一个素来以威风八面的太空牛仔著称的影视流派，并将皮卡德船长塑造成一个喝着热茶、吟诵莎士比亚的角色，从根本上重塑了科幻英雄的定义。
英文原文
>> That's the actor Patrick Stewart doing a little Yorkshire dialect for an interview with Wired magazine. It is a northern England accent he worked hard to lose as he made his way into theater and TV and movies, charming the world as Jean Luke Peard on Star Trek and many other roles. Stuart died yesterday at 86. And as part of his legacy, he is credited with entering a genre best known for kind of swashbuckling space cowboys and turning Captain Pequard into a role where he drank tea and quoted Shakespeare, essentially reinventing what a sci-fi hero could be.
