Original English **Tracy Mumford**: From the New York Times, it's the headlines. I'm Tracy Mumford. Today's Friday, October 16th. Here's what we're covering. Across the country, TV and social media have been flooded with a wave of political ads that were made with AI.
**佐兰·马姆达尼 (Zohran Mamdani)**: 嗨，我是**佐兰·马姆达尼**。
Original English **Zohran Mamdani**: Hi, I'm Zeron Mdani.
**凯西·霍楚尔 (Kathy Hochul)**: 我是**凯西·霍楚尔**。
Original English **Kathy Hochul**: And I'm Kathy Hokul.
**佐兰·马姆达尼 (Zohran Mamdani)**: 我们俩携手，正在让纽约变得——
Original English **Zohran Mamdani**: And together, we're making New York
**凯西·霍楚尔 (Kathy Hochul)**: 可千万别说“住得起”。
Original English **Kathy Hochul**: don't say affordable.
**特蕾西·芒福德 (Tracy Mumford)**: 没错。**卫斯理安大学**（Wesleyan University）一个研究团队的一项分析审视了200多条使用了AI生成图像的中期选举广告，发现各候选人及政治行动委员会花费了近1.4亿美元来推广这些广告。詹姆斯在极力解释为何他曾说特朗普总统不可信时，表现得最为狼狈。这些AI调整手段从微小无害的剪辑，到针对主要民主党人以及陷入激烈胶着选战候选人的完全**深度伪造（Deepfakes）**，五花八门。 例如，来自“让俄克拉荷马再次伟大”（Make Oklahoma Great Again）团体的一则广告展示了一段虚假片段，画面中一名民主党候选人正与**希拉里·克林顿**拥抱并牵手。而另一则广告则展示了一个AI生成的密歇根州民主党参议员候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔赛义德（Abdul El-Sayed），画面中他对着写有“美国去死”以及“庆祝9/11”的标牌大笑。 根据卫斯理安大学的分析，绝大多数广告——超过80%——是由**共和党**或支持共和党的团体制作的。研究人员指出，民主党使用AI的频率要低得多，因为他们的支持者对这项技术的态度更为审慎和批判。 总而言之，卫斯理安媒体项目（Wesleyan Media Project）的联合主任表示，实际存在的AI驱动广告很可能远远多于研究人员所发现的数量，特别是由于绝大多数广告并没有附带标明其为AI生成的免责声明。许多立法者一直在努力打击这种现象并推动提高透明度，但在20个州中，目前根本没有任何法律强制要求政治广告披露AI使用情况。 与此同时，距离中期选举仅剩18天，《纽约时报》一直在关注一个可能起到决定性作用的关键选民群体：**年轻美国人**。他们在2024年以令人意外的右倾转向，助力**唐纳德·特朗普**总统赢得了大选。在历史上，这一群体历来是民主党的囊中之物。然而，时报与锡耶纳学院（Times/Siena）近期的民意调查发现，年轻选民似乎并没有坚定地追随共和党。在年轻女性中，对共和党的支持率已暴跌至仅13%；而在年轻男性中，支持度也同样出现了下滑。 我采访了加利福尼亚州的一位21岁年轻人，他说他在2024年把票投给了唐纳德·特朗普，因为当时他很担忧经济，并且他身边的很多朋友都告诉他特朗普会让经济变得更好。如今他觉得生活成本正在失控飞涨，他正转向民主党寻求答案。 我的同事**露丝·伊吉尔尼克**（Ruth Igielnik）一直在与全美各地的年轻选民沟通交谈。我们与爱荷华州的一名男子聊过，他对目前的经济状况、汽油价格和住房成本感到非常沮丧。他的很多朋友甚至不得不去打第二份工。我们还采访了住在堪萨斯州的雷米（Remy），他觉得特朗普在移民问题上做得过火了，他也切实感到特朗普在经济方面的表现并不出色。 这是在这些谈话中一次又一次反复出现的主题。我得出的核心结论是，年轻选民确实对唐纳德·特朗普感到沮丧，他们对共和党人感到失望，但他们中的许多人也真正对整个政治进程感到厌倦与反感。他们对两党都极其失望，许多人甚至表示他们根本不会去投票。 在今天的《**The Daily**》节目中，如果让你在1到10的尺度上给信任度打分，比如你对共和党和民主党两党的信任程度分别是多少？
Original English **Tracy Mumford**: Right. An analysis by a research group at Wesian University looked at more than 200 midterm ads that used AI generated imagery and found that candidates and political action groups spent nearly $140 million promoting them. James stumbled the worst trying to explain why he said President Trump couldn't be trusted. The AI tweaks range from small innocuous edits to full-on deep fakes of prominent Democrats and candidates locked in tight races. For example, one ad from the group Make Oklahoma Great Again showed a fake clip of a Democratic candidate hugging and holding hands with Hillary Clinton. And another ad showed an AI version of Michigan's Democratic Senate candidate Abdul Elsed laughing at cards that read death to America and celebrate 9/11. According to the Wesian analysis, an overwhelming majority of the ads, more than 80% were produced by Republicans, or groups that back the GOP. The researchers suggested that Democrats have used AI much less because their supporters are more critical of the technology. In all, the co-director of the Wesian Media Project said there are likely many more AI powered ads out there than what researchers found, especially because most don't have a disclaimer identifying them as AI generated. Many lawmakers have been working to crack down on this and push for more transparency, but in 20 states, there are no laws requiring AI disclosures for political ads. Meanwhile, with the midterms now just 18 days away, the Times has been looking at a key group of voters who could play a deciding factor. Young Americans. They helped propel President Trump to victory in 2024 in a surprise right-ward swing. Historically, the group was a shoein for Democrats. Now, though, recent Times Sienna polling has found that young voters don't seem to be sticking with Republicans. Among young women, support for the party has plunged to just 13%. And among young men, it's also dropped off. I talked to a 21-year-old in California who said he voted for Donald Trump in 2024 because he was worried about the economy and because so many of his friends were telling him that Trump would make the economy better. Now he feels like costs are spiraling and he's looking to the Democrats for answers. My colleague Ruth Gelnik has been talking to young voters across the country. We talked to one man in Iowa. Uh he's feeling really frustrated about the economy, prices of gas and housing. He's had a lot of his friends take second jobs. We also talked to Remy who lives in Kansas. He feels like Trump has gone too far on immigration. He really feels like Trump has also not done a good job on the economy. That's a theme that came up over and over and over in these conversations. My takeaway was really that young voters are frustrated with Donald Trump. They're frustrated with Republicans, but a lot of them are also really turned off from the process. They're frustrated with both parties and many of them said that they wouldn't vote. On today's episode of the Daily, if you had to rank on a scale of 1 to 10, like how much you trust both the Republican and the Democratic party, what would you say the number is for both of them?
**年轻选民 (Young Voter)**: 两党都稳稳地落在2分和3分左右。我……
Original English **Young Voter**: Both are squarely at like twos and threes. I
**特蕾西·芒福德 (Tracy Mumford)**: 节目更深入地审视了一位年轻选民的心路历程——这是一位25岁的玉米和大豆农场主，他正在权衡是继续追随共和党，还是支持极力争取他选票的民主党。 **年轻农场主 (Young Farmer)**: 我现在不再把我的选票看作是我作为公民身份的延伸，而更多地将其视为一件武器。就像，如果我有需要，我可以扣下选票不投。
Original English **Tracy Mumford**: there's a closer look at how one young voter, a 25-year-old corn and soybean farmer, is weighing whether to stick with Republicans or support the Democrats who are trying to win his vote. **Young Farmer**: I view my vote now as less of like a an extension of me as a citizen and more as like a weapon. Like I can withhold that vote if I need to.
**年轻农场主 (Young Farmer)**: 甚至更进一步，如果有必要，我还可以把那一票投给另一个政党。
Original English **Young Farmer**: And even worse, I can give that vote to the other party if I have to.
### 死刑直播争议与俄勒冈小学枪击案 **特蕾西·芒福德 (Tracy Mumford)**: 在昨天发布的一条社交媒体帖文中，特朗普总统表示，此前引发巨大争议的在**胡德堡**（Fort Hood）基地公开网络直播处决一名前陆军军官的计划已经被取消。 该军官此前因2009年在得克萨斯州军事基地持枪滥杀致死13人而被定罪。当国防部长**皮特·海格塞斯**（Pete Hegseth）上周公布直播死刑执行的计划时，他将其定性为震慑其他袭击的一种手段，并称：“人们必须明白，发生这类事件会有极其严重的后果。” 几乎在瞬息之间，该决定激起了来自两党议员、宗教界领袖、甚至是袭击中受伤的一名中士的强烈抵制。批评人士痛斥该计划野蛮且毫无必要。在一封公开信中，数十名退役海军上将、将军及其他军官警告称，网络直播死刑执行将践踏基本的人类尊严，并使这种惩处沦为供窥私狂享乐的嘉年华。胡德堡的一位前指挥官也向《纽约时报》表示，在军事基地公开广播处决过程，未来很可能招致报复风险，使基地沦为袭击目标。 特朗普在帖文中写道：“许多非常善良且用心良苦的人宁愿不亲眼看着他死去”，并表示现在只允许遇难者的直系亲属在12月亲自到场见证执行。据两名美国高级官员透露，五角大楼的许多领导人和美军参谋长联席会议的成员在得知这一决定被撤回后如释重负，此前他们对海格塞斯直播死刑的计划感到震惊与措手不及。
Original English **Tracy Mumford**: In a social media post yesterday, President Trump said that the controversial plan to live stream the execution of a former Army officer at Fort Hood has been called off. The officer was convicted of killing 13 people in a shooting rampage at the base in Texas back in 2009. And when Defense Secretary Pete Hegsth laid out the plan to broadcast the execution last week, he framed it as a way to deter other attacks, saying, quote, "People need to understand that there's serious consequences for these types of things." Almost instantly, the decision set off intense backlash from lawmakers of both parties, from faith leaders, even from a sergeant who was wounded during the attack. Critics called it barbaric and unnecessary. In an open letter, dozens of retired admirals, generals, and other military officers warned that live streaming the execution would violate basic human dignity and turn the punishment into what they called a carnival for the enjoyment of voyers. One former commanding general of Fort Hood also told the Times that broadcasting the execution from the base would risk making it a target for retribution in the future. In his post, Trump wrote that quote, "Many very good and well-meaning people would rather not watch him die, saying that now only immediate family members of the victims will be allowed to watch the execution in person in December." According to two senior US officials, many Pentagon leaders and members of the military's joint staff who'd been surprised and shocked by Hegs's plan to broadcast the execution were relieved to learn that the decision had been reversed
**本德市警方发言人 (Bend Police Official)**: ……昨天在俄勒冈州本德市。面对你们所有人，我真的说不出任何能够抚平创伤的言语，但请相信，我们正在竭尽全力展开彻底深入的调查。
Original English **Bend Police Official**: in Bend, Oregon yesterday. There are not really any words I can say to any of you that will make this better, but please know that we are working hard to ensure that we conduct a thorough investigation.
**特蕾西·芒福德 (Tracy Mumford)**: 官方通报称，一名十几岁的少年枪手强行开枪打破锁闭的门，闯入一所小学，在校内射杀了4人，并造成另外两人重伤危殆。
Original English **Tracy Mumford**: Officials say a teenage gunman shot his way through locked doors to enter an elementary school where he killed four people and critically injured two others.
**特蕾西·芒福德 (Tracy Mumford)**: 现场的遇难者包括三名儿童（年龄分别为5岁、8岁和11岁）以及一名教师。本德市警察局长表示，枪手是当地一名16岁的少年，他在行凶时被一名持枪路人击毙，该路人目睹了袭击发生并冲进学校追击枪手。 俄勒冈州州长称这位路人为英雄，并表示：“您的行动背负着沉重的情感重担。我只希望您知道，我的心也与您同在。” 官方目前尚未公开披露该持枪路人、受害者或枪手的姓名。他们也未透露袭击中所使用武器的具体型号细节。与美国大多数其他州相比，俄勒冈州对枪支所有权的限制要严格得多。
Original English **Tracy Mumford**: The deceased at the scene include three children, ages 5, 8, and 11, and one teacher. Ben's chief of police said the gunman was a 16-year-old from the area and that he was killed by an armed bystander who saw the attack unfolding and went into the school after him. Oregon's governor called the bystander a hero, saying, quote, "Your actions carry a heavy emotional burden. I just want you to know my thoughts are with you as well." Officials haven't publicly named the bystander, the victims, or the gunman. They also haven't given details about what kind of weapon was used in the attack. Oregon has more restrictions on gun ownership than most other states.
**悼念社区代表 (Community Member)**: 让我们紧紧拥抱彼此吧。让我们牢记什么才是真正重要的，互相照顾关怀，因为接下来的日子会非常艰难。
Original English **Community Member**: Let's hug each other. Let's remember what matters and take care of each other because it's going to be hard.
### 中国电动汽车突围巴黎车展 **特蕾西·芒福德 (Tracy Mumford)**: 昨晚，数百人聚集在本德市参加烛光悼念集会。《纽约时报》在现场采访了附近另一所小学一名9岁女孩的母亲。当枪击事件的消息传开且尚不明确是否存在更大范围威胁时，她女儿学校的老师突然关掉了教室的电灯并反锁了房门。这位母亲说：“我们在开车的回家路上谈了这件事，我不得不向她解释，这种事情可能在任何地方发生。” 最后一条新闻：20年前，在汽车界的盛会之一巴黎车展（Paris Motor Show）上，中国汽车制造商还极易被忽略。当时全场的焦点全在通用汽车等跨国巨头身上。然而如今，他们已成为一股不可忽视的强大力量。 本周在巴黎，20多个中国品牌展示了他们的全新设计，全力拓展海外客户群体。这绝非易事：他们被排除在美国市场之外，而欧盟也试图遏制廉价中国汽车的涌入以保护本土汽车工业。但是——
Original English **Tracy Mumford**: Last night, hundreds of people gathered in Bend for a candlelight vigil, where the Times spoke with the mother of a 9-year-old girl whose teacher at another elementary school nearby suddenly turned off the lights and locked the door when news of the shooting spread, and it was unclear if there was a wider threat. The mother said, quote, "We had a talk on the drive home, and I had to just explain to her that this can happen anywhere. And finally, 20 years ago at the Paris Motor Show, one of the big events in the car world, Chinese car makers were easy to miss. The spotlight was all on giants like General Motors. Now though, they are a force. This week in Paris, more than 20 Chinese brands showed off their designs as they try to expand their customer base. It's not simple. They are shut out of the US and the EU has tried to curb the influx of lowcost Chinese cars there to protect its own auto industry. But
**车展参观者 / 汽车博主 (Auto Reviewer)**: 这里有非常舒适的按摩座椅。
Original English **Auto Reviewer**: there's massaging seats that are very comfortable.
**特蕾西·芒福德 (Tracy Mumford)**: 这些车企有着雄心勃勃的目标，意在赢得欧洲消费者的青睐。所以，你可以远程移动车辆，可以远程自动泊车，可以提前给座舱预热保持温暖，可以远程锁车，还可以轻松定位它的停放位置。
Original English **Tracy Mumford**: The companies have ambitious goals to win over European customers. So, you can move the car, you can remote park it, you can precondition the interior to get a toasty, you can lock the car, you can find its location.
**特蕾西·芒福德 (Tracy Mumford)**: 汽车评测博主们一直在社交平台上测评诸如**小鹏**（Xpeng）等中国品牌的电动汽车。
Original English **Tracy Mumford**: Car reviewers have been posting about electric Chinese vehicles like those made by the brand Xpang for a while.
**汽车评测博主 (Auto Reviewer)**: 或者你还可以开启‘床垫模式’，把前排座椅推到最前面，然后你就可以平躺在后排休息。
Original English **Auto Reviewer**: Or you can have mattress mode, which is the seats all the way to the front and then you lie in the back.
**特蕾西·芒福德 (Tracy Mumford)**: 在巴黎车展上，《纽约时报》采访了一位潜在购车者，他对中国车企制造的新车中越来越普及的各项配置感到兴奋不已：21英寸的车顶吸顶屏、带按摩功能的座椅以及车载冰箱。 为了持续扩大在欧洲市场的份额，中国企业正在欧洲大陆扩大本土制造布局，以绕过关税壁垒。他们在西班牙和奥地利设有工厂，并计划在匈牙利以及可能在法国设立更多工厂。 总体而言，中国品牌正在欧洲迅速站稳脚跟。如今在欧洲销售的每10辆汽车中就有1辆来自中国品牌，其增长势头非常迅猛。**比亚迪**（BYD）今年在欧洲的销量实现了一倍以上的增长。而被称为“Temu版路虎揽胜”的奇瑞捷途山海T2（或JU7），在上个月更是成为了全英国最畅销的汽车车型。 以上就是今天的主要头条新闻。如果您想参与周五新闻问答，请不要走开，它就在演职员名单之后。如果您还不是《纽约时报》的订阅用户，现在下载时报应用程序，即可免费获得整整一个月的畅读权限，浏览我们发布的所有深度新闻报道。 本期节目由威尔·贾维斯（Will Jarvis）、玛格丽特·卡迪法（Margaret Kadifa）、杰克·卢卡斯（Jake Lucas）、严·斯图尔特（Yan Stewart）以及我——特蕾西·芒福德共同制作。原创主题音乐由丹·鲍威尔（Dan Powell）创作。特别鸣谢伊莎贝拉·安德森（Isabella Anderson）、萨姆·多尔尼克（Sam Dolnick）、迈尔斯·麦金利（Miles McKinley）、佐伊·墨菲（Zoe Murphy）和克里斯·伍德（Chris Wood）。 现在进入新闻问答环节。每周，我们都会就《纽约时报》报道过的新闻事件向大家提出几个小问题。看看你是否能全部答对？ 我们开始吧。 在中期选举到来之际，一位本身并不参选的重量级政治人物正以另一种方式参与其中。她联手打造了一档全新播客，将重点聚焦于国会控制权的争夺战。这位政治家以前就曾制作过自己的播客，在其中的一期节目中，她甚至还采访了自己的丈夫。 **希拉里·克林顿 (Hillary Clinton)**: 人们可能会好奇，这50年来我们到底都在聊些什么。
Original English **Tracy Mumford**: And at the Paris show, the Times talked with one potential buyer who was excited by features that are increasingly common in cars from Chinese companies. a 21-in ceiling mounted screen, seats with massage functions, and a refrigerator. To keep growing their share of the European market, Chinese companies are expanding their manufacturing footprint on the continent to get around imports. There are factories in Spain and Austria and plans for more in Hungary and possibly France. Overall, Chinese brands are rapidly gaining ground in Europe. They now account for one in every 10 vehicles sold there and they have momentum. The company BYD's sales in Europe more than doubled this year. And the JU7, which some have dubbed the T-Mu Range Rover, was the bestselling vehicle in Britain last month. Those are the headlines. If you'd like to play the Friday news quiz, stick around. It's just after these credits. And if you are not a Times subscriber yet, you can get a full month of free access to all of the journalism we publish when you download the Times app now. This show is made by Will Jarvis, Margaret Kadifa, Jake Lucas, Yan Stewart, and me, Tracy Mumford. Original theme by Dan Powell. Special thanks to Isabella Anderson, Sam Dolnick, Miles McKinley, Zoe Murphy, and Chris Wood. Now, time for the quiz. Every week, we ask you a few questions about stories. the Times has been covering. Can you get them all? Here we go. Ahead of the midterms, one major political figure who is not running herself is getting in the game another way. She's teaming up on a new podcast, which will cover the race to control Congress. This politician has had a podcast of her own before, where in one episode she even interviewed her own husband. People may be wondering what we've been saying for 50 years.
**比尔·克林顿 (Bill Clinton)**: 哈哈，这正好能让他们窥见一斑。
Original English **Bill Clinton**: Well, this will give them a little glimpse.
### 周五新闻测验：播客、恐龙与猫王 **特蕾西·芒福德 (Tracy Mumford)**: 那么提问：是谁在大选前夕重新回归播客界？ 答案是：**希拉里·克林顿**。该中期选举播客名为《生死攸关》（High Stakes），克林顿在接受《纽约时报》采访时呼应了这个名字，表示：“我认为国家和世界所面临的赌注不能再高了。” 现在，如果说猜出克林顿对你来说太容易了，我们接下来挑战你猜出另外几位开办了自己播客节目的政治家。我会播放音频片段，由你来猜出他是谁。 **加文·纽森 (Gavin Newsom)**: 我们需要改变对话的方向，这就是我创办全新播客的原因。这将是一档绝非平庸常规的政客播客。
Original English **Tracy Mumford**: Your question, who is getting back into podcasting ahead of the election? The answer, Hillary Clinton. The midterms podcast is called High Stakes, which Clinton echoed in an interview with the Times, saying, quote, "I don't think the stakes for the country and the world could be any higher." Now, if naming Clinton was too easy for you, we're going to challenge you to name a few other politicians who have launched their own shows. I'll play the clip, you name who it is. We need to change the conversation and that's why I'm launching a new podcast. And this is going to be anything but the ordinary politician podcast.
**特蕾西·芒福德 (Tracy Mumford)**: 那是加利福尼亚州州长**加文·纽森**在他的播客《This is Gavin Newsom》中的声音。下一位。
Original English **Tracy Mumford**: That's Gavin Newsome, the governor of California on his podcast. This is Gavin Newsome. Next one.
**泰德·克鲁兹 (Ted Cruz)**: 随着我们越来越临近选举日，这个世界变得越来越疯狂。我们现在距离选举日已经不到一个月了……还有塔克·卡尔森。
Original English **Ted Cruz**: Well, as we get closer and closer to election day, the world gets crazier and crazier. We're now less than a month away from election day. and Tucker Carlson.
**特蕾西·芒福德 (Tracy Mumford)**: 那是得克萨斯州参议员**泰德·克鲁兹**在他的播客《Verdict》中的发言，这档播客每周更新多达三集。最后这道题算是个送分题。
Original English **Tracy Mumford**: That is Senator Ted Cruz of Texas on his podcast Verdict, which does as many as three episodes a week. And finally, this one's a gimme.
**贝拉克·奥巴马 (Barack Obama)**: 我们是怎么走到今天这一步的？美国正处于我们有生之年最为分裂的状态。
Original English **Barack Obama**: How did we get here? America as divided as it's been in our lifetimes.
**特蕾西·芒福德 (Tracy Mumford)**: 那是前总统**贝拉克·奥巴马**。但真正的问题是：谁是他的播客联合主持人？
Original English **Tracy Mumford**: That's former President Barack Obama. But the real question is, who was his podcast co-host?
**贝拉克·奥巴马 (Barack Obama)**: 为了让听众脑海中更有画面感，我们来看看这里——你这里摆了多少把吉他？我们现在简直是在凝视一座千把吉他之屋。
Original English **Barack Obama**: Just to paint a picture here, we've got How many guitars you got up in here? We're looking at the house of a thousand guitars right now.
**布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀 (Bruce Springsteen)**: 我还没把它们全数过一遍，但这里到处都是吉他。
Original English **Bruce Springsteen**: I haven't counted them all, but there are guitars everywhere.
**特蕾西·芒福德 (Tracy Mumford)**: 答案正是**布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀**（Bruce Springsteen）。“老板”（The Boss）与奥巴马早在2021年就曾合作主持过一档名为《叛逆者》（Renegades: Born in the USA）的播客。我顺便说一句，播客名字起得最好的政客是比尔·克林顿，他把自己的节目命名为《我为什么要告诉你这个？》（Why Am I Telling You This?）。 好的，进入下一题。研究人员最近有机会研究了一具在中国发现的保存得惊人完好的恐龙骨骼化石。它是由一名农民在距今1.2亿多年前的岩层露头中发现的。科学家们目前正在深入研究它锋利的爪子、满嘴的牙齿，以及一个令人惊讶的事实——它拥有四只什么？ 答案是：
Original English **Tracy Mumford**: It was Bruce Springsteen. The boss and Obama had a podcast together back in 2021 called Renegades. I will just say that the politician with the best podcast name is Bill Clinton, who called his show Why Am I Telling You This? Okay, moving on. Researchers recently had the chance to examine an astonishingly wellpreserved skeleton of a dinosaur that was found in China. It was discovered by a farmer in an outcrop of rocks that date back more than 120 million years. Scientists are now studying its sharp claws, its mouthful of teeth, and the surprising fact that it had four what? The answer.
**古生物学家 (Paleontologist)**: 它的手臂上有翅膀，腿上也有翅膀，是由羽轴状羽毛构成的翅膀。
Original English **Paleontologist**: It had wings on its arms, wings on its legs, so wings made up of quill pen feathers.
**特蕾西·芒福德 (Tracy Mumford)**: 正如一位古生物学家在《新科学家》（New Scientist）杂志中所描述的那样，它拥有四只翅膀。这个新鉴定的物种名为“北方盗龙”（Noralloraptor / Auroraptor），体型大约和一只乌鸦相当，而且它可能不是唯一重见天日的带翼古生物。近年来，古生物学研究表明，史前飞行动物的种类可能远比科学家此前预想的要丰富多样。 最后一个问题：威尔士的一个小镇最近举办了一年一度的狂欢节，专门致敬一位享誉全球的美国传奇表演艺术家。波斯考尔（Porthcawl）镇曾是威尔士煤矿工人的度假胜地，在这里纪念这位艺术家显得有些特别，因为他从未在这里演出过，甚至除了在加拿大的几场演出外，他一生中几乎从未在美国以外的任何地方登台。但这个节日具有巨大的号召力，吸引了多达4万名来自世界各地的狂热拥趸，基本让小镇的人口翻了一倍。 你的问题是：这些狂热的歌迷究竟在致敬纪念谁？为了帮助大家猜出答案，我将播放一段后台致敬模仿艺人们热身排练的简短音频片段。
Original English **Tracy Mumford**: It had four wings, as one paleontologist described the magazine New Scientist. The newly identified species, the noralraptor, is about the size of a crow, and it may not be the only winged creature to surface. In recent years, research in paleontology has suggested there were probably more kinds of flying dinosaurs than scientists previously thought. And last question, a small town in Wales recently held its annual festival devoted to a very famous American performer. The town Porthall, which is a former vacation hot spot for Welsh coal miners, is a slightly odd place to celebrate this artist, considering he never performed there or really anywhere outside the US other than a few stops in Canada. But the festival is a huge draw. As many as 40,000 people from around the world go, basically doubling the town's population. Your question, who are these avid fans celebrating? To help you out, I'm going to play a very short clip from backstage where the tribute artists were warming up.
**特蕾西·芒福德 (Tracy Mumford)**: 答案是：**埃尔维斯·普雷斯利**（“猫王” Elvis Presley）。那是波斯考尔男声合唱团上传的一段翻唱合唱，他们是每年都会参与该活动的一支表演团队。 这个音乐节已经举办了二十多年，这个工人阶级小镇上的居民表示，他们对猫王自身卑微贫寒的出身背景深感共鸣。华丽耀眼的舞台服饰也是一大亮点，参与者们身着镶满亮片的连体衣尽情狂欢，甚至还有一个专为狗狗设立的独立盛装变装比赛——不好意思，准确地说是“猎犬”（Hound Dogs，猫王代表作）变装赛。 以上就是本周新闻小测验的全部内容。如果你想告诉我们你的答题成绩，我们的电子邮箱是 theheadlines@nytimes.com。我是特蕾西·芒福德。祝大家周末愉快，周一我的同事威尔·贾维斯（Will Jarvis）将继续为大家带来最新播报。
Original English **Tracy Mumford**: The answer, Elvis Presley. That is a cover posted by the Porth Call male voice choir which is one of the acts that participates every year. The festival has been going for more than two decades and people in the workingclass town say they identify with Elvis's own humble beginnings. The flashy fashion is also a big plus with attendees decked out in jumpsuits and sequins and a whole separate costume contest just for dogs. Excuse me, hound dogs. That is it for this week's news quiz. If you want to tell us how you did, our email is the headlines at ny times.com. I'm Tracy Mumford. Have a great weekend and the show will be back on Monday with my colleague Will Jarvis.
