I think overall technology has really been a driving force for us, having those things that already connect us and then kind of trying to figure out how we can manipulate these things, how we can use them to our advantage.
我认为总体而言，技术确实是推动我们前进的动力，有了那些已经将我们联系起来的事物，然后再去思考我们如何能够操控这些事物，如何利用它们为我们谋利。

There's nothing better than coming together in a group and just really talking about what's necessary and then splitting up and creating those tools so that we could share it out to our communities.
没有什么比聚在一起，真正讨论必要之事，然后分头行动去制作那些工具，以便我们能将其分享给我们的社区更好的了。

Digital activism isn't new but young people today are making more use of it.
数字行动主义并不新鲜，但如今的年轻人正在更多地利用它。

Rosario helped create digital toolkits that supporters could use to push for legislative action in the stateSenate.
罗萨里奥帮助创建了数字工具包，支持者可以利用这些工具包在州参议院推动立法行动。

People could click on it and it would automatically open up their Twitter with like a pre-written tweet that we had created.
人们可以点击它，然后它会自动打开他们的推特，显示一条我们预先写好的推文。

And just in a second, you could send that. It tags the elected officials, telling them exactly what the legislation name is and why we were demanding it.
转眼间，你可以发送它，它会标记出当选官员，明确告知他们立法名称以及我们要求此项立法的原因。

Rosario believes the Twitter storm helped result in a section of New York's civil rights law being repealed.

For Rear Admiral (Sel.) Putnam Browne and his daughter Francesca, the Navy isn't just a career, it's the family business.
对海军少将普特南·布朗和他的女儿弗朗西斯卡来说，海军不仅仅是一份职业，还是家族事业。

I definitely think he has a major influence on me whether he meant to or not.
我绝对认为他对我有重大影响，无论他是否有意为之。

But he taught me so much and I knew that it was the right choice for me because of him.
他教会了我很多，我知道这对我来说是因为他而做的正确的选择。

Francesca attended the prestigious US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Like her father, she rode on a Navy crew team.
弗朗西丝卡曾就读于马里兰州安纳波利斯著名的美国海军学院。和她父亲一样，她曾效力于海军赛艇队。

When a sudden hip injury kept her from rowing, Francesca switched to steering a boat as a coxswain for the men's team, making them the team's first-ever father-daughter duo.
当弗朗西斯卡突然髋部受伤，无法再划船时，她转而担任男子队的舵手来指挥船只，这使他们成为该队有史以来第一对父女组合。

That was another very cool transition because we had this, another shared kind of bond.
这是另一个很酷的转变，因为我们有了这种共同的纽带。

Francesca sailed her Naval Academy cruise aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, the same ship her father commanded.
弗朗西丝卡乘坐亚伯拉罕·林肯号航空母舰在海军学院巡航，就是她父亲指挥的那艘船。

So when coronavirus precautions prevented a big Navy graduation last month, Francesca had an idea.
当上个月新冠病毒防控措施导致大型海军毕业典礼无法举行时， 弗朗西斯卡有了一个想法。

She asked if I would commission her and do it at the Lincoln Memorial since Lincoln means so much to our family.
她问我是否可以委托她在林肯纪念堂做这件事，因为林肯号对我们家意义重大。

We were the only people there. It was I think 7 a.m.on kind of a rainy day and we stood right in front of Lincoln.
那里只有我们几个人。我想当时是早上7点，天还下着雨，我们就站在林肯号的正前方。

My dad administered the oath of office. I definitely choked up, maybe a little bit. It was a very heartfelt culmination of events.
我的父亲主持了就职宣誓仪式。我肯定是哽咽了，可能有一点。这是一系列事件非常真挚的高潮时刻。

The Navy wasn't such a clear-cut path for Lieutenant Commander Megan Isaac, whose dad is a retired Navy admiral.
对于父亲是退役海军上将的梅根·艾萨克少校来说，海军生涯并不是一帆风顺的。

I had always thought I was gonna be a ballerina. That was my plan.
我一直以为我会成为芭蕾舞演员。那是我的计划。

But on September 11th of Issac's senior year of high school, her nation was attacked, and her father was stationed at the Pentagon.
但在艾萨克高中高年级的9月11日，她的国家遭到了攻击，而她的父亲当时驻扎在五角大楼。

That day impacted me so much because someone who had been always a point of stability and assurance in my life, there was a question mark there for a few hours.
那天对我影响很大，因为一直是我生命中的安全保证和可靠支柱的那个人，有几个小时都生死未卜。

And someone had done that, someone had attacked our country, and I felt for the first time in my life very compelled to do something about it.
有人袭击了我们的国家，而我生平第一次感到自己必须为此做些什么。

In the following days after 9/11, Issac's father watched with pride and surprise as his daughter applied to attend the Navy's top Academy.
在9·11事件后的接下来几天里，艾萨克的父亲既骄傲又惊讶地看着女儿申请进入海军顶级学院。

I don't think he believes that I would ever actually be in a navy Academy, and they essentially take all of your personal belongings away.
我觉得他不相信我真的会进海军学院，他们拿走了你所有的私人物品。

They cut off your hair. I remember just thinking, did I just make the worst decision? What did I just do!
他们剪掉了你的头发。我记得我只是在想，我是不是刚刚做出了最糟糕的决定？我刚刚做了什么！

And that I feel like it's captured very well in my face in that moment, and my dad's like, it'll be great!
我觉得那一刻都写在了我的脸上，我爸爸说太棒了!

For me, it was a really rewarding and exciting day because I knew that she was up to the task.
对我来说，这真是有意义且令人兴奋的一天，因为我知道她能胜任这项任务。

The father-daughter duo has since shared countless Navy experiences throughout Issac's nearly 15 years of service.
从那以后，这对父女在艾萨克近15年的服役生涯中分享了无数海军经历。

And it turns out the USS Abraham Lincoln isn't just special for the Brownes.
事实证明林肯号不仅仅是布朗一家的专利。

In 2018 Isaac led the public affairs team of Lincoln, where her father had served 10 years prior as the destroyer squadron commander, and she was able to bring him back aboard.
2018年，艾萨克领导了林肯号的公共事务团队，10年前她的父亲曾在该航母上担任驱逐舰中队指挥官，她还能让父亲重返舰上。

He wasn't in uniform or it really didn't have any of the authorities. I had the uniform. I had the radio. I knew everyone on the ship.
他没穿制服，也没有任何职权。我穿着制服，还带着无线电，船上的每个人我都认识。

I'll tell you what I just couldn't have been more pleased and proud of watching my daughter in action. It was great.
我跟你说，看到我女儿的表现，我感到无比的高兴和自豪。太棒了。

The road hasn't always been easy, but the Navy has given the father and daughter a special bond. Because it's something that only we share.
这条路并非总是一帆风顺，但海军让这对父女之间有了一种特殊的情感纽带。因为这是唯有我们共享的经历。

There have been several times in my life, where I just have felt like I didn't know where to go, what the right direction was.
在我的人生中，有好几次我只是感到迷茫，不知道何去何从，不知道正确的方向是什么。

And he's always been the one to listen and make sure that I stayed on the right path.
他一直都倾听我说话，确保我走上正确的道路。

A path both pairs say was illuminated by their sense of adventure and their desire to serve.
这两对父女说，他们的冒险精神和服务意愿照亮了这条路。

So, here we have me graduating from the police academy. This is my chief at the time. Quite happy to have a gun and abadge.
这是我刚从警校毕业时的样子。这是当时的局长。当时拿到警徽和配枪的时候非常高兴。

I was working on the bus. We used to wear plain clothes on the bus. And that's me with the general manager. I had just made sergeant.
我当时在公交车上工作。以前在公交车上我们都穿便服。这是我和总干事的合影。那时我刚刚晋升警长。

I remember being the only African-American female in that group of promotees.
我记得自己是那批晋升者中唯一的非裔美国女性。

My name is Tracie Simmons and I am a retired Deputy Chief of the Metro Transit Police Department.

I served there for over 25 years in various capacities. I came up through the ranks and I retired at the rank of Deputy Chief.

And I was the first African-American woman to reach that rank at my police agency.

在警局里，性别歧视和种族主义都是相当猖獗的。

There were remarks made in roll calls that, you know, I wouldn't dare repeat.
他们在点名的时候会说出一些言论，这些话我至今都不敢重复。
And as I was there, because I was there, I got to be a voice for things that needed to change and be different.
正因为我在那里听到了，我要为那些需要改变的事情发声。

There'll be a certain segment of racism because we come from those same communities.
因为很多警察来自同一个群体，所以会有一定程度的种族歧视。

Police officers come from those same communities and they bring along with them their belief systems, their worldviews and their cultural experiences.
警察来自同样的社区，他们也带着自己的信仰体系、世界观和文化体验。

I think it's come to a head. I think there's a lot of things that we get to see now because of technology that has occurred for many, many years.
我认为事情已经到了紧要关头。我认为由于科技的发展，我们现在已经可以看清很多事了。

And that now it's kind of in our face. We all had an opportunity to see George Floyd, you know, be murdered right on television.
现在这就明摆在我们眼前。我们都有机会在电视上看到乔治·弗洛伊德被杀害。

I've never seen anything like it in my life and I don't think most Americans have.
我这辈子从没见过这样的事，我想大多数美国人也没有见过。

I think though, our country is in a breakdown and I think that around police brutality and law enforcement, I would tell the protesters that I support them wholeheartedly.
但我认为，我们的国家正处于崩溃之中，我认为在警察暴力执法和执法问题上，我会告诉抗议者们，我全心全意支持他们。

I would tell them to be thoughtful and be aware that there are other stories and other spaces. That's just part of the story but it's not the real story.
我会告诉他们要深思熟虑，要知道事情有多面性，有多重可能。那只是故事的一部分，但并非真实的故事。

It doesn't tell the story of the ten police officers that got killed last week.
它没有讲述上周遇害的十名警察的故事。

It doesn't tell that story. Or the guy down the street that got shot by other assailants who the police locked up and now they're in jail.
它没有讲述那个故事。也没有提及街上那个被其他袭击者开枪打伤的人，警察将这些凶手绳之以法，现在都进了监狱。

So, there are a lot of stories here to be told. And so, I'm hopeful.
我们有很多需要讲述的故事。因此我也充满希望。

I do think that there are definite ways that we can begin to change the culture and we get to just, you know, retire out those that want to hold onto the old ways.
我确实认为，我们有明确的方法可以开始改变这种文化，我们要淘汰掉那些想坚持老路的人。

It's not like….It's changing. And those that aren't ready to change need to move on. They need to go.
现在情况正在发生改变。那些不愿做出改变的人得另谋出路了，他们得让位了。

Because he changed not only this country, not only the United States, he changed the world. George Floyd changed the world.
因为他不仅改变了美国，他还改变了世界。乔治·弗洛伊德改变了世界。

We get to say what legacy George Floyd's death has on us as a people.

As long as people feel like it isn't going to die out like all the rest of them, because those four officers will go to jail for a very long time.
人们可能会相信这样的悲剧不会再发生到他们身上，因为那四名警官会蹲很久的监狱。

Today, I will be meeting with 3rd and 4th grade students to discuss the issues of slavery, what they know about slavery.
今天，我将与三年级和四年级的学生会面，讨论奴隶制的问题，以及他们对奴隶制的了解。

We need to learn about slavery because in the upcoming generations we can't all just believe that this country was always different races combined together.
我们需要了解奴隶制，因为在未来的几代人中，我们不能都认为这个国家一直都是不同种族融合在一起的。

We have to know what our history was. There was land taken from different races because they were that race.
我们必须了解我们的历史。曾有不同种族的土地被夺走，只因为他们属于那个种族。

And I don't feel like any of that is right because we're all human beings.
我认为这是不对的，因为我们都是人类。

Now we're allowed to do stuff that we couldn't do before. We have to know, this is why we're free and this is why we can do this.

I've seen on the news where a black man was trying to ask for directions and he knocked on a white person's house.
我在新闻上看到一个黑人想问路，他敲了白人的房门。

The husband, he went and got the gun and chased the black man off. So, I thought that might have been, well, was it because he was black?
房间里的丈夫拿起了枪，把那个黑人赶走了。我当时就在想，会不会是因为他是黑人呢？

Or did they think he was trying to, like, steal something? And I thought it was really mean.
或者他们认为那个黑人想偷东西？我觉得这很刻薄。

Black males and females that are getting shot. People are losing their lives and they haven't done anything. So I think we can improve that.
黑人男性与女性被射杀。他们什么都没做错就失去了生命。我想我们可以改善这种情况。

Like he said, people are, innocent people are getting shot for no reason.
正如你说的，那些人是无辜的，他们被无缘无故地射杀。

We could change that. There's a whole lot more to be improved. We as Americans have to be united.
我们可以改变这一点。还有很多方面有待改进。我们作为美国人必须团结起来。

We live in the United States. United means that we're all in this together but people aren't getting treated fairly because people are not doing the right thing and we should all do the right thing because we're in this together.
我们住在美国。“United”意味着要团结一致，但是人们没有得到公平的对待，因为人们没有做正确的事，而我们都应该做正确的事，因为我们同舟共济。

Fans have been gathering across the US, Canada and Mexico, as well as the world's TV screens, to watch the 2026 men's football World Cup kick off. However, experts have been increasingly worried about the effect of summer heat and humidity on the competing players. High levels of both have been predicted for a number of the tournament venues.
球迷们聚集在美国、加拿大和墨西哥以及世界各地的电视屏幕上，观看 2026 年男足世界杯的开赛。 然而，专家们越来越担心夏季炎热和潮湿对参赛选手的影响。 预计许多比赛场馆的这两项指标都将达到高水平。

Previous competitions held in similar conditions have caused difficulties for players and officials. Assistant referee Humberto Panjoj collapsed during a Copa America game in Kansas City in 2024. In a game in Miami in the same competition, Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo was substituted, complaining of dehydration and dizziness. Players also complained about conditions at the 2025 Club World Cup in the US. Both these competitions were played in cities that feature in the 2026 World Cup. Sports Medicine Australia warns of the dangers of heat exhaustion, heatstroke and dehydration from exercising in hot and humid conditions.
此前在类似条件下举行的比赛给球员和官员造成了困难。 助理裁判温贝托·潘乔伊 (Humberto Panjoj) 在 2024 年堪萨斯城举行的美洲杯比赛中晕倒。在迈阿密举行的同一场比赛中，乌拉圭后卫罗纳德·阿劳霍 (Ronald Araujo) 因脱水和头晕而被替换下场。 球员们还抱怨 2025 年美国世俱杯的条件。 这两项比赛均在 2026 年世界杯举办城市举行。 澳大利亚运动医学警告说，在炎热和潮湿的环境下运动可能会导致中暑、中暑和脱水的危险。

Experts suggest that the key measure to assess risk from heat and humidity is the wet bulb globe temperature. When we sweat, it usually evaporates, cooling us down. Humid conditions make this process less effective. Wet bulb globe temperature is the minimum temperature achieved after water has evaporated. Many experts suggest that heat can be a problem for athletes if the wet bulb globe temperature is above 28C.
专家建议，评估湿热风险的关键指标是湿球温度。 当我们出汗时，它通常会蒸发，使我们降温。 潮湿的条件使这个过程的效率降低。 湿球温度是水蒸发后达到的最低温度。 许多专家建议，如果湿球温度高于 28°C，热量可能会给运动员带来问题。

14 out of 16 of the World Cup venues have been forecast to have wet bulb globe temperatures above this level during normal summer afternoons. For this reason, many games have been moved to evening kick offs, and cooling breaks have been scheduled. Additionally, some stadiums have roofs and air-conditioning. However, concerns remain around evening games in Miami and Kansas City, which had been predicted to be hot and humid, and the final in New Jersey, which was scheduled for 3pm. Estimates are based on a normal summer. However, the situation would be considerably worse should there be a heatwave.
据预测，在 16 个世界杯场馆中，有 14 个场馆的湿球球温度在正常夏季午后将高于这一水平。 因此，许多比赛已移至晚上开球，并安排了休息时间。 此外，一些体育场有屋顶和空调。 然而，人们仍然对迈阿密和堪萨斯城的晚间比赛以及定于下午 3 点在新泽西举行的决赛感到担忧，比赛预计将炎热潮湿。 估算基于正常夏季。 然而，如果出现热浪，情况会更糟。
