As a girl Damon Sanatha dreamed of playing rugby professionally, but didn't have the money or access to training.
达蒙·萨纳塔小时候梦想成为职业橄榄球运动员，但既没钱也没机会接受训练。

Determined that no other girl should be kept from the game, four years ago, she began coaching Sebroco, a women's team in Bingerville.
四年前，为了让所有女孩都能参加这项运动，她开始执教班热维尔的一支女子球队Sabroco。

Sanatha brought the team to play at the National Institute for Youth and Sports in Marcory, a college in suburban of Abidjan.
萨纳塔带领球队前往位于阿比让郊区的马克里国家青年与体育学院进行比赛。

I was a former player. I stayed on staff to supervise the girls. I would like the sisters to go as far as possible, ensure that there is a place for girls in this sport.
我曾是一名运动员，后来留在队里指导这些女孩。我希望这些女孩能走得更远，确保她们在这项运动中有一席之地。

Rugby can be a rough contact sport. But fifteen-year-old Berthe Assista who has a different coach is fine with that.
橄榄球是一项激烈的对抗性运动，但15岁的贝尔特·阿西斯塔对此并不介意，她有一位与众不同的教练。

I started rugby thanks to my friend. She invited me to come and watch how it is played. On the second day I'd put on athletic clothes to train a little. Since that day I have loved rugby.
我开始打橄榄球是因为我的朋友。她邀请我去看橄榄球比赛。第二天，我就穿上运动服进行一些训练。从那天开始，我就爱上了橄榄球。

Isabelle Yeboua, secretary of the Ivorian Rugby Federation's women's commission, says it's about time women players are getting recognized.

Girls have been training with clubs for a very long time. The rugby federation organizes an annual tournament among clubs.

It's also a showcase to find promising players who can go on to play for the national team.

So we are doing a championship to select the good female players, let them form a team and also participate in international competitions.

So what I use is, I use organic food grade coconut flakes. I blend that with essential oils, never perfume. We use a kosher, goat's milk, glycerin base.
我用的是有机食品级椰片，将其与精油混合，从不添加香精，我们采用符合犹太标准的山羊奶甘油基底。

Maxwell Moore is having fun making soap from only the most natural organic ingredients.
麦克斯韦·摩尔正乐此不疲地用最天然的有机原料制作肥皂。

But it wasn't easy for Moore to return to civilian life in Los Angeles after 16 years of military service including tours in war-torn Iraq and Afghanistan that led him to suffer from PTSD.
但对摩尔来说，在经历了16年的兵役，包括在饱受战争蹂躏的伊拉克和阿富汗服役，这使他患上了创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）之后，要回到洛杉矶过平民生活并不容易。

The VA and they suggested that I should employ my hands, with something that will keep me busy and out of trouble.
退伍军人管理局建议我忙碌起来，不惹麻烦。

And so they asked me what are you, do you have any hobbies. And I told them and they were like, what do you have any hobbies that aren't dangerous.
他们问我有什么爱好吗，我告诉了他们，然后他们问我，你有什么不危险的爱好吗？

Well I like to make soap and they said oh you should do that. And so I started doing this and I just got obsessed.
我喜欢做肥皂，他们说那你就应该去做肥皂。于是我开始做这件事，然后我就着迷了。

Moore's hobby grew beyond just making and selling soap. I was going again to my VA appointments.
摩尔的爱好不仅仅是制作和销售肥皂。我又去参加退伍军人管理局的预约了。

And this homeless man, I came out of the hospital, and he says, hey I'm giving him spare change.
我从医院出来时，这个无家可归的人叫住我，我给了他一些零钱。

And I was like you know I don't have any spare change right now, but I've got this hobby. I make soap, do you want some soap?
我说，我现在没有多余的零钱，但我有个爱好。我做肥皂，你要肥皂吗？

And the guy goes oh yeah lots of soap and I was like really really. He says, yeah I live on the street, you know, I'm dirty.
他说，当然了，我需要肥皂。我当时就心想真的吗，他说：我流浪街头，脏兮兮的。

Now Moore gives some of his soap for free to the homeless. Don't get me wrong, I love money.
现在摩尔把他的部分肥皂免费赠送给无家可归的人。别误会我的意思,我喜欢钱。

But if you're making money and you're surrounded by people who are poor, who are sick, who can't take care of themselves, then you're going to get sick, and all the money in the world doesn't matter.
但如果你在赚钱，但周围都是穷人、病人、无法自理的人，那么你也会生病，挣再多钱都无济于事。

Thousands of orange blossom eucalyptus and grapefruit soap bars. Moore employs other military veterans and single mothers to help them adapt and stay afloat financially.
成千上万的橙花桉树和葡萄柚肥皂。摩尔雇佣了其他退伍军人和单身母亲，帮助他们适应生活、维持生计。

他们没办法对这里做贡献。在某些方面我觉得我亏欠他们。

Stanley who got a bar of soap from Moore during the pandemic is very grateful.

No, Santa Fe burnt, my hands are dry so they burn me, but I'm constantly trying to wash my hands as much as I can.
不，圣达菲着火了，我的手很干，所以它们让我感觉火辣辣的，但我一直在尽可能多地洗手。

尽管洛杉矶的无家可归问题不易解决， 但摩尔相信从小事做起，帮助人们保持清洁和健康，其他问题自然会迎刃而解。

Among the at-risk species on this year's list is the Saint Lucia fer de lance, a venomous viper with an image problem. While it's not aggressive, it's highly feared, so is often killed on sight. Conservationists are working to improve perceptions of the creature. Then there's the blackchin guitarfish, which appears to be half ray, half shark.
在今年这份名单上的濒危物种包括圣卢西亚矛头蝮，这是一种有形象问题的剧毒蛇类。虽然它攻击性并不强，但人们非常害怕这种蛇，通常一见到就会立即杀死它。自然保护人员正在努力改善人们对这种生物的看法。名单上还包括黑颏犁头鳐，一种看起来一半像鳐鱼、一半像鲨鱼的鱼类。

It's not just animals. Wild tulips make the list threatened with extinction in Central Asia due to overgrazing and trampling by livestock.
这份名单上并不只有动物。野生郁金香也在这份名单上，这些郁金香在中亚地区因过度放牧和家畜的踩踏已经濒临灭绝。

The charity hopes the list will also draw attention to the people working to protect the wildlife, providing a beacon of hope against a bleak outlook.
这家慈善机构希望这份名单能吸引人们关注那些致力于保护野生动植物的工作人员，他们为动植物保护当前黯淡的前景点亮了一盏希望之灯。

At the heart of the deep-sea mining controversy is a difficult problem. The world needs critical minerals to tackle climate change but extracting them from the sea floor could cause serious environmental harm. This research by the Natural History Museum and National Oceanography Centre analysed the impact of trial mining in the Pacific Ocean. It found that where the mining vehicle had harvested minerals, the number of animals living in the area was reduced by 37%.
在对深海采矿的争议的核心有一个难以回答的问题。世界需要关键的矿物来应对气候变化，但从海底提取这些矿物会造成严重的环境损害。这项由伦敦自然史博物馆和英国国家海洋学中心共同参与的研究分析了在太平洋中试验性采矿的影响。研究发现，在采矿车辆采集了矿物的区域，在此生活的动物的数量减少了 37%。

The deep ocean is barely explored, and many scientists worry it harbours vital life that could be lost if mining goes ahead. The mining firm The Metals Company commissioned the research. A spokesperson said they were encouraged by findings that animals outside of the directly mined areas were not affected.
海洋深处几乎没有被人类探索过，许多科学家担心深海中藏有重要的生物，而如果开始采矿，这些生物就会消失。采矿公司加拿大金属公司（The Metals Company）委托进行了这项研究。该公司的一位发言人说，金属公司对研究结果感到鼓舞，因为研究发现在直接开采区域外的动物并未受到影响。

Stand outside Chancery Lane Tube station in London and you'll probably notice the regular commuters, trendy cafes and the odd tourist. Look up and you'll see the Staple Inn, built in 1585, and one of the last remaining Tudor timber-framed facades in London. But deep below your feet, there's more history lurking.
站在伦敦 Chancery Lane 地铁站外，您可能会注意到定期通勤的人、时尚的咖啡馆和奇怪的游客。 抬头一看，您会看到建于 1585 年的 Staple Inn，也是伦敦仅存的都铎式木结构外墙之一。 但在你的脚下深处，还潜藏着更多的历史。

Nestled between Furnival Street and Fulwood Place in this area of London are a network of tunnels even deeper than The London Underground. Built between 1940 and 1942, the tunnels were constructed as part of the war effort as an air-raid shelter, designed to protect civilians and soldiers from bombs dropped in the war. Later in World War Two, the tunnels were occupied by Special Operations Executive and are even believed to have been the inspiration behind Q branch in the James Bond novels. The tunnels are set to open to the public in the near future.
伦敦这一地区的弗尼瓦尔街 (Furnival Street) 和富尔伍德广场 (Fulwood Place) 之间有一个比伦敦地铁还要深的隧道网络。 这些隧道建于 1940 年至 1942 年间，是作为战争努力的一部分而建造的，作为防空洞，旨在保护平民和士兵免受战争中投下的炸弹的伤害。 第二次世界大战后期，这些隧道被特别行动执行官占领，甚至被认为是詹姆斯·邦德小说中 Q 分支的灵感来源。 这些隧道将于不久的将来向公众开放。

Somewhere that can never open to the public is a secret Victorian street in Bristol. Now considered too dangerous to enter, a local historian climbed down to the street in 1999. He hoped to find gas street lamps, sash window frames and Victorian fire grates frozen in time. Instead, he found thieves had stripped the street, and it was mostly full of rubbish, though some bricked-up shop windows remained. The row of shops was buried in 1879 when a railway was built, and the company raised the road level.
布里斯托尔有一条永远无法向公众开放的维多利亚时代秘密街道。 由于现在被认为太危险而无法进入，一位当地历史学家于 1999 年爬到了街上。他希望能找到及时冻结的煤气路灯、推拉窗框和维多利亚时代的炉排。 相反，他发现小偷已经把街道洗劫一空，街上大部分都是垃圾，但一些砖砌的商店橱窗仍然存在。 1879年修建铁路时，这排商店被掩埋，公司提高了道路水平。

In Scotland, there is an even older piece of history under foot. Mary King's Close in the centre of Edinburgh is a hidden network of preserved streets and homes from the 1600s. Down under the Royal Mile, the alleyways were once bustling and open-air but also dark and rather smelly. Many Old Town Edinburgh streets in the 1600s consisted of high-tenement buildings where the rich occupied the top stories and the poor lived on the ground floors, which were often flooded with sewage. The streets on Mary King's Close were built over in the 1750s and only re-discovered in 2003 during an archaeological investigation. It's now a tourist attraction, so you can go down and see the streets for yourself.
在苏格兰，脚下还有一段更古老的历史。 爱丁堡市中心的玛丽金街 (Mary King's Close) 是一个隐藏的网络，由 1600 年代保存完好的街道和房屋组成。 皇家大道下方的小巷曾经熙熙攘攘，露天，但现在也很黑暗，而且相当臭。 1600年代爱丁堡老城区的许多街道都是高楼大厦，富人住在顶层，穷人住在底层，底层经常被污水淹没。 玛丽金街 (Mary King's Close) 的街道建于 1750 年代，直到 2003 年考古调查中才被重新发现。 现在这里成了旅游景点，可以下去亲自看看街道。

So, when you're out and about in the city, admire what's above ground, but also consider the history that could be hiding beneath your feet.
因此，当您在城市中行走时，请欣赏地面上的事物，同时也要考虑一下隐藏在您脚下的历史。
