根据纪录片所述，15年前袭击新奥尔良的飓风卡特里娜摧毁了当地经济，并使约40万居民流离失所，从而加剧了该市的犯罪与暴力问题。

It changed the dynamics of the city. It changed the neighborhoods. Whole neighborhoods were washed out.
它改变了城市的格局；它改变了社区的面貌。整个社区都被冲毁了。

And as people came trickling in, you know, they had lost their homes, they'd lost everything.
当人们陆续来到这里，他们已经失去了家园，失去了一切。

Post-Katrina destruction, displacement and crime in New Orleans is also the theme of the feature film drama, RZA's Cut Throat City.
卡特里娜飓风过后新奥尔良的破坏、居民流离失所和犯罪问题，也是罗伯特·菲茨杰拉德·迪格斯（RZA）执导的剧情长片《夺命城》的主题。

The film starts on a positive note with Blink, one of the main characters, a graphic novel artist dreaming for a better life.
电影以积极的基调开始，主角之一布林克是一位渴望更好生活的漫画艺术家。

But then Katrina strikes the Lower Ninth Ward, a low-income district and upends the life of Blink and his community.
但随后，卡特里娜飓风袭击了低收入社区下九区，打乱了布林克及其所在社区居民的生活。

Unable to get a job or get help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, he turns to crime.

One heist leads to another, making it harder and harder for Blink to get out of a hopeless situation,

Hopelessness during post-Katrina New Orleans is RZA's theme.
卡特里娜飓风过后新奥尔良所弥漫的绝望感，正是RZA作品的核心主题。

《夺命城》似乎是贫困的非洲裔美国人梦想破灭的地方。

Still, the filmmaker says his film ends with the redemptive note that people have the power to turn their lives around.

Since this past February, VOA has talked toscores ofrefugees in Turkey who have tried and failed to get into Greece.
自今年二月以来，美国之音采访了土耳其境内数十名试图进入希腊但失败的难民。

Back then, the Turkish government was openly encouraging them to make the trip.
当时，土耳其政府公开鼓励他们进行偷渡。

But the Greek government has told them not to come and many refugees report being beaten, robbed, and then expelled after they arrived.
但希腊政府已告知他们不要前来，许多难民称，他们抵达后遭到殴打、抢劫，然后被驱逐出境。

In recent months, the stories have grown even more harrowing.
最近几个月，这些故事变得更加令人痛心。

Families tell of being abandoned at sea by Greek authorities on rubber boats without motors or fuel.
一些家庭讲述了他们被希腊当局遗弃在海上的经历，他们乘坐的是没有发动机和燃料的橡皮艇。

They dragged our rubber boat to water that seemed to be hidden by mountains and circled around us until we were bailing water out with our own hands. I thought the children would drown.
他们把我们的橡皮艇拖到了似乎被群山遮挡的水域，橡皮艇在水中打着转，最后我们只能用手往外舀水。我以为孩子们会被淹死。

Najma and her family were on their third attempt to reach Greece when their boat was stopped and their fuel was seized by what appeared to be Greek security forces.
纳吉玛和她的家人第三次试图抵达希腊时，他们的船被疑似希腊安全部队拦截，燃油也被没收了。

But they were lucky. A passenger had enough fuel hidden away to get them back to Turkey.
但他们很幸运。一名乘客藏了足够的燃料，让他们得以返回土耳其。

When they caught our boat, I woke up as we were dragged back into Turkish waters.
当他们追上我们的船时，我们被拖回土耳其海域，我醒了过来。

I wasn't scared until I thought they were going to rip open our boat with pikes.

The New York Times recently reported Greece has secretly expelled more than 1,000 people in recent months, abandoning many of them at sea outside of Greek territorial waters.
《纽约时报》最近报道称，希腊近几个月来已秘密驱逐了1000多人，还将其中许多人遗弃在希腊领海之外的海域。

But Greece has denied any illegal activity, noting that it has rescued tens of thousands of asylum seekers in recent years.
但希腊否认有任何非法活动，并指出近年来希腊已经解救了数以万计的寻求庇护者。

The government adds it protects European Union borders vigorously with tough but fair policies.

The ten-centimetre-wide fossil was unearthed during an expedition to James Ross Island four decades ago.
这块宽约 10 厘米的化石，是在四十年前一次对詹姆斯·罗斯岛的科学考察活动中出土的。

Its discovery was recorded in a field notebook with a tiny sketch of the fossil and a note saying vertebra from a large reptile. But that was as far as the identification went, until the fossil was spotted amongst the thousands of specimens stored at the British Antarctic Survey.
一本野外考察笔记记录了这块化石的发现，里面附有一幅简略的化石手绘草图，并写着这是一种大型爬行动物的椎骨。不过，对这块化石的鉴定工作当时仅止步于此，直到最近，有人在英国南极调查局保存的数千份样本中重新注意到了它。

Its distinctive shape revealed it was part of the tail of a titanosaur, the largest dinosaurs ever toroamthe Earth. It dates to 82 million years ago, when Antarctica was very different to how it is today.
它独特的形状显示，这块骨骼属于一只泰坦巨龙的尾部。泰坦巨龙是地球历史上已知体型最大的恐龙。这块化石距今约 8200 万年，当时的南极和它如今的面貌完全不同。

It would have been covered inlushforest, providing ample food for this four-legged, long-necked dinosaur.
那时的南极大陆覆盖着茂密的森林，为这种四足、长颈的巨型恐龙提供了充足的食物来源。

We've all been there. Ending up with a worse exam result than you had hoped for or expected, a friend cancelling a plan you were really looking forward to, or your favourite sports team losing a game. Disappointment is an unhappy feeling when there is a gap between your expectations and reality, when something you desired failed to materialise. It's a normal and natural reaction, but what to do? Is it best to forget about it and move on, or allow yourself to feel the feels?
我们都经历过这样的情况。 最终考试成绩比您希望或预期的要差，朋友取消了您真正期待的计划，或者您最喜欢的运动队输掉了一场比赛。 失望是一种不快乐的感觉，当你的期望与现实之间存在差距，当你想要的东西未能实现时。 这是正常且自然的反应，但该怎么办呢？ 最好是忘记它并继续前进，还是让自己感受这种感觉？

We often can't control what happens in life, but we can control how we respond when things don't go our way. Dr Radha Modgil, a UK family doctor and campaigner for wellbeing, says that we should take time to process the disappointment. "We can often feel the need to move on straight away or ignore our feelings, but if we take time to process them and talk them through, we can move forward in a healthier way," she says. Next, she advises us to see the opportunities. Things may not have worked out this time, but when one door closes, a different, more exciting door may have opened, in a way that may one day make you grateful for the initial disappointment.
我们常常无法控制生活中发生的事情，但我们可以控制当事情不顺利时我们如何应对。 英国家庭医生兼健康活动家拉达·莫吉尔博士表示，我们应该花时间来处理失望情绪。 “我们经常会觉得需要立即继续前进或忽略我们的感受，但如果我们花时间处理它们并讨论它们，我们就能以更健康的方式前进，”她说。 接下来，她建议我们看到机会。 这次事情可能没有成功，但当一扇门关闭时，另一扇更令人兴奋的门可能会打开，有一天可能会让你对最初的失望感到感激。

The wider the gap between expectations and reality, the greater the disappointment. Make sure your goals are realistic, not idealistic, says Dr Annette Clancy, an organisational consultant who researches emotions in the workplace. Think about what a realistic result would be, rather than the perfect one. When waiting for something significant like a job offer or test result, her advice is to not get ahead of yourself. When we anticipate a positive result, we often start imagining a future that doesn't yet exist, and if that future doesn't materialise, we then have togrieveits loss, which can be upsetting.
期望与现实之间的差距越大，失望就越大。 研究工作场所情绪的组织顾问安妮特·克兰西博士说，确保你的目标是现实的，而不是理想化的。 想想现实的结果是什么，而不是完美的结果。 当等待工作机会或测试结果等重要事情时，她的建议是不要操之过急。 当我们期待一个积极的结果时，我们常常开始想象一个尚不存在的未来，如果这个未来没有实现，我们就不得不为它的损失感到悲伤，这可能会令人沮丧。

Try not to take it personally. Disappointment might make you think, "I'm not good enough," and lead you to blame yourself, affecting your self-esteem. It may cause you to blame others, making you angry that they did not recognise your value. Dr Annette Clancy says both reactions miss the point. Instead, see disappointment as a signal that our expectations and reality are not aligned. Understanding this, she says, can be an important way to develop resilience.
尽量不要往心里去。 失望可能会让你认为“我不够好”，并导致你责备自己，影响你的自尊。 这可能会让你责怪别人，让你因为他们不认识你的价值而生气。 安妮特·克兰西博士表示，这两种反应都没有抓住重点。 相反，将失望视为我们的期望与现实不一致的信号。 她说，理解这一点可能是培养韧性的重要方法。
