在她的电影《蓝衣女性》中，数据官员记录了女警官面临的一些挑战，她们在男性主导的明尼阿波利斯警察局帮助培训同事避免过度使用武力。

Officer Alice White is one of the trainers. We interact with people who are rapists, murderers. It's sometimes hard to show respect to someone like that.

So in my mind I had to switch this to professionalism. As long as you're being professional, you're gonna look respectful.
在我看来，我得把这转变为专业态度。只要保持专业，你就会显得得体。

The film echoes findings won as early as the 1970s by the National Police Foundation that female police officers act less aggressively and believe in using less aggression than their male counterparts.

Hi, do you know why I'm stopping you? You can calm down. I see you're shaking. Just relax, relax, it's all good.
你知道我为什么拦下你吗？你可以冷静下来。我看到你在发抖。放轻松，没事的。

You can see in that traffic stop that that man that was stopped by Alice had someone who was nurturing and had his well-being at the top and not some law enforcement.
你可以从那次交通拦截中看出，被爱丽丝拦下的那名男子，身边有一位关心他、将他安危置于首位的人，而非仅仅是执法者。

But the film also shows women remaining sidelined making up only 16 percent of the Minneapolis police department.

贝斯特警长讲述了她自己逐步晋升的经历。

Some folks while super supportive, others were not, maybe you know, and there was always working through that.
有些人非常支持她，而有些人则不然，也许总需要去应对这些情况。

My resolve was, that's their problem, not mine. I'm here to do my job. I'm going to do it to the best of my ability.

You never know when at any second something might happen that you might need it. That's the point.
你永远不知道什么时候会发生一些事让你用到枪。这才是重点。

It's not that you think it's going to. It's that you recognize the possibility that it can.
不是说你认为它会发生，而是你必须意识到，有需要用到枪的可能性。

You recognize the possibility that there are evil people in the world who do evil things and you have to be able to protect yourself against that.

It's never been easy for fishermen in England's southwest to make a living, but now they face a competitor: around 200,000 octopuses, probably coming from the Mediterranean. Climate change is blamed for this migration, and the animals are apparently gobbling up the crab, lobster and other marine life which many fishermen depend on.
对英格兰西南部的渔民来说，谋生从来都不容易，而如今他们面临新的 “竞争对手”——大约 20 万只可能来自地中海的章鱼。人们将这次章鱼迁徙归咎于气候变化。而这些动物似乎正在大量吞食螃蟹、龙虾以及其它渔民赖以谋生的海洋生物。

A report published on Monday found octopuses spotted further north and in Wales, and said fishermen are having to adapt, hunting for the octopuses themselves. One market town recently saw 100 tonnes of octopus sold in a single day.
一份周一发布的报告指出，在更北部的地区以及威尔士也发现了章鱼的身影。报告还提到，渔民正被迫调整策略，开始转而捕捞章鱼。最近，一个集镇甚至在一天之内售出了 100 吨章鱼。

Around the world, summers are getting hotter. Day and night temperatures are increasing. What impact could that be having on how we sleep?
在世界各地，夏季越来越热。 白天和晚上的气温都在升高。 这会对我们的睡眠产生什么影响？

Temperature and sleep are closely linked. Typically, our bodies cool themselves down before we sleep. One of the main ways that we do this is by widening blood vessels near the skin to allow heat to dissipate. In hot weather, this process becomes less effective as it is more difficult for heat to be transferred. One of the body's mechanisms to speed up this process is by allowing sweat to evaporate. However, in humid conditions it's harder for evaporation to take place. If the body is unable to cool down, then it's more difficult for people to fall asleep and more likely that sleep patterns can be disrupted.
温度和睡眠密切相关。 通常，我们的身体会在睡觉前自行降温。 我们做到这一点的主要方法之一是加宽皮肤附近的血管，以便热量散发。 在炎热的天气里，这个过程变得不太有效，因为热量更难以传递。 身体加速这一过程的机制之一是让汗水蒸发。 然而，在潮湿的条件下，蒸发更难发生。 如果身体无法降温，那么人们就更难入睡，而且睡眠模式更有可能被打乱。

This means that it's important for us to try to manage the temperature of the environment that we sleep in. While it can be costly, air conditioning is a useful tool to keep our sleeping environment cool. Managing ventilation is also important. During the hottest hours of the day keeping windows and curtains closed can stop hot air and heat from sunlight entering our homes. At night, once the temperature has dropped, opening windows can allow cool air to come in and reduce the temperature in our homes. Fans can help to speed up cooling, as long as air temperatures are low enough. They become less effective in hotter conditions.
这意味着我们必须设法管理睡眠环境的温度。虽然成本可能很高，但空调是保持睡眠环境凉爽的有用工具。 管理通风也很重要。 在一天中最热的时候，关闭窗户和窗帘可以阻止热空气和阳光产生的热量进入我们的家。 晚上，气温下降后，打开窗户可以让冷空气进来，降低家里的温度。 只要气温足够低，风扇就可以帮助加速冷却。 在较热的条件下，它们的效率会降低。

It's not just rooms that we can cool down. Using breathable bedding and sleepwear makes it easier for our bodies to regulate temperature. While it may seem counter-intuitive, it can be beneficial to have a warm bath or shower before sleep. Warm water can cause more blood to flow to our skin. Once you get out of the bath or shower, this means that you cool down more quickly. Another tip suggested by sleep experts Kevin Morgan and Lisa Artis is to cool your socks in the fridge and then put them on before going to sleep. They also say that it's important to try to keep to your usual sleep routine to avoid disruption to your sleep habits.
我们不仅仅可以给房间降温。 使用透气的床上用品和睡衣可以让我们的身体更容易调节温度。 虽然这似乎有悖常理，但睡前洗个热水澡或淋浴可能是有益的。 温水可以使更多的血液流向我们的皮肤。 一旦您离开浴缸或淋浴，这意味着您会更快冷却。 睡眠专家凯文·摩根和丽莎·阿蒂斯建议的另一个建议是将袜子放入冰箱中冷却，然后在睡觉前穿上。 他们还表示，尽量保持平常的睡眠习惯很重要，以避免扰乱您的睡眠习惯。

So it's a 3D-printed cowl or helmet. It's like a mask basically but it's specifically designed and tailored to fit my face exactly.
这是一个3D打印的头罩或头盔。它基本上就像一个面罩，但它是专门设计并量身定做，以完全贴合我的脸型。

Because of that, it's kind of difficult to get on because it is a rigid, hard plastic.
因为它是一种坚硬的塑料制成的，所以很难戴上。

But the amount of time that it takes to make something like this is, and cost even is far superior than it would be to sculpting it, molding it, casting it.
但是制作一个这样的面具要花费的时间和成本，都比雕刻、塑形、铸造要高得多。

We are cosplayers. We are comic book nerds and fans of comic book culture and everything like that. So we are naturally inclined to craft things and creativity.
我们是角色扮演者。我们是漫画书虫和漫画文化的粉丝。我们自然就很喜欢手工制作和创意发挥。

That led me to a job at the Long Beach Public Library teaching 3D design and 3D printing, which led me to purchasing one, which I've used to make costumes and props and things like that for cosplay.
那让我在长滩公共图书馆找到了一份工作，教授3D设计和3D打印，然后我就买了一个3D打印机，用来制作角色扮演所需的服装、道具之类的东西。

We have a lot of friends in the medical field and stuff and just, "What can we do to help instead of just sitting at home watching Netflix?" although, if you are home, watching Netflix, great, do that. Stay there.
我们在医学领域有很多朋友，然后就在想，“除了宅在家里看网飞剧，我们能怎么帮助你们？”不过如果你确实在家看网飞剧，那也不错，就这么待着吧。

This is what we've done in one week on two machines. With the masks, they are done in three pieces. There is the front nose part.
这是我们在一周内用两台机器完成的工作。这些面罩由三个部分组成。 这是前鼻部分。

There's the inside. There's like a shield and in between that is the four layers of MERV-13 filters.

This is a way that two people can use one machine now.
用这个东西，两个人就可以共用一台呼吸机。

So, it splits off, kind of like, you know, back in the day, you had for Walkman and you could let two people could listen to it at the same time. So, two people can use one machine now.
这中间是分叉的，有点像以前的随身听，可以让两个人同时听音乐。现在两个人可以共用一台设备了。

So, we're just basically going to the friends that we know, the people who are actually doing the jobs right now and just reaching out to them first because that's easier.
我们基本上就是要联系我们认识的朋友，那些目前正在从事相关工作的人，并且先和他们取得联系，因为这样更容易些。

There is a gray area and we talked about this before, where hospitals are not supposed to accept anything from a non-medical professional.
我们之前讨论过一个灰色地带，那就是医院不可以接受非医学专业人士的任何物品。

However, they have been reaching out to other people because they just need anything rather than nothing.
但是，医生正在向其他人求助，因为他们的物资已经不够了，什么都得拿来用。

And that's why we are kind of trying to go out of our way to make sure that these things are able to withstand the processes that they would go through for sanitization.
这就是为什么我们想方设法确保这些面罩能够经受住消毒的过程。

So, we've switched to these ones here, which are the high heat plastic.
我们把材料换成了这种高热量的塑料。

So, they'll melt at a much higher rate, higher temperature. They are a lot sturdier.
它们会在更高的温度下以更快的速度融化。它们要坚固得多。

They are going to last longer. They can withstand being sanitized over and over and over again.
它们将更加持久耐用。它们能够承受反复多次的消毒处理。

We have set up an Amazonwish list. So, whatever people buy on there, gets shipped directly and we are just using it.
我们已经创建了一个亚马逊心愿单。人们在上面买的任何东西都会直接发货，我们只需使用即可。

People get weird about like sending money or things like that. What's it actually going to? And yeah, and we just want to do this.
如果直接打钱的话一些人会觉得很奇怪。比如钱到底用来干什么了？我们只是想生产面罩、

We are not trying to make anything out of this or whatever. We're just trying to help.
我们不指望能获得什么好处，只是想帮忙。
