I feel that us, as the white community, that we hold a very strong responsibility to speak up and be heard.
我觉得我们白人群体肩负着重大责任去表达和发声。

My name is Jeremiah Hirsch and I am the owner of Electric Pair O' Dice Tattoo in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
我叫杰里迈亚·赫希，是弗吉尼亚州弗雷德里克斯堡“Electric Pair O' Dice Tattoo”的老板。

Erase the hate is a campaign that we put together to cover up racist and offensive tattoos.
“消除仇恨”是我们发起的一项活动，旨在遮盖种族主义和冒犯性纹身。

I started to post information and stuff to raise awareness about Black Lives Matter and towards the Black community.
我开始发帖来提高人们对“黑人的命也是命”运动以及黑人社区的认识。

And in doing so, I had a gentleman that I went to high school with that reached out to me about having a Confederate flag tattoo on his foot that he was embarrassed of and it was hitting him even harder seeing the stuff that I was posting.
在此期间，一位高中同学联系了我，他说自己脚上有个邦联军旗的文身，这让他很尴尬，看了我发的帖子后更是自惭形秽。

And he asked if we would work with him on covering it up.
他问我愿不愿意帮他遮掉这个纹身。

So I went to the guys in the shop and I was like, I think this would be a really good opportunity for us to help this guy out and cover it up, document it and then post it and then launch this campaign of Erase the hate.
然后我就到店里去跟员工说，我觉得这对我们来说是个绝佳的机会，我们可以帮他遮盖纹身，把这件事记录下来，然后发布出去，接着发起“消除仇恨”的活动。

I want to cover up this tattoo that I got a long time ago. I'm getting rid of this heart here with this Confederate flag in it.
我想遮掉这个很久以前的纹身。我正在去除这个带有邦联旗帜的心形纹身。

The tattoo is free but we ask for a minimum donation for $100 that will go to one of the organizations that we're working with, that goes directly to the Black community.
遮掉纹身是免费的，但我们要求至少捐助100美元，这笔钱将捐给我们合作的一个组织，然后直接流向黑人社区。

People have really been behind what we're doing. I mean you do have some, like, a handful that are, like, against it.
人们一直在背后支持我们的行动。确实有那么一小撮人反对这件事。

Their argument is that it's heritage, not hate and that it's a symbolism of, you know, state freedom and stuff like that.
他们声称这种南方联邦的纹身是文化遗产，而非仇恨，而且是各州自由的标志。

But I feel, you know, not to be disrespectful, but I feel at the same time they're not very educated in the history of what it's behind and what it stands for and what the different declarations of the Confederacy was for. It was to keep and instill slavery.
说句难听的，我觉得他们对这些事物背后的历史、代表的意义以及南方联邦各种主张的目的都不太了解。邦联的目的就是维护和巩固奴隶制。

From my own experience and convictions that I've had, just seeing daily interactions and stuff like that, showed me my privilege.
从我个人的经历和信念来看，仅仅是观察日常的互动之类的事情，就让我意识到了自己的特权。

Being a white male in America and seeing the unjust acts and treatment towards the Black community and the huge difference between those two.
作为一名美国白人男性，我看到了针对黑人社区的不公正行为和待遇，以及这两个群体之间存在的巨大差异。

I wanted to get involved as much as I could. So I started actively going to protests.
我想尽可能多地参与进来。 所以我开始积极参加黑人抗议活动。

I'm a single dad with four kids and I've always led by an example that we see someone by their heart and their actions and that love is love, that it's universal.
我是一个单身父亲，有四个孩子，我一直以身作则，告诉孩子们要通过一个人的内心和行为去看待他们，爱就是爱，大爱无疆。

Everything deserves a chance and the opportunity to live and be loved.
万物都值得拥有生存和被爱的机会。

My upbringing, my parents were preachers and was raised in the Christian faith and as I got older and ventured out on my own, I experienced other religions and stuff.
在我的成长经历中，我的父母都是传教士，我是在基督教信仰的熏陶下长大的，随着我年龄增长并开始独自探索，也接触到了其他宗教。

I really connected with Buddhist and Hindu traditions and really found this parallel between religions and understanding that the universal importance is empathy, love and compassion.
我真的与佛教和印度教传统产生了共鸣，并且确实发现了不同宗教之间的相似之处，也明白了共情、爱和慈悲具有普世的重要性。

And then I see this connection between them and between human beings as a whole, and that being present here in this moment and where we are as a nation, is very important that we need this progressive push forward for equality for every human being that's on this planet, especially the Black community where they're affected most.
然后我看到了宗教之间以及全人类之间的联系，此时此刻我们身处此地，作为一个民族，我们需要为地球上每一个人争取平等而不断向前推进，这一点非常重要，尤其是对受影响最大的黑人社区来说。

The masterpiece is being loaned to London while its usual home in northern France undergoes a major renovation.
由于其位于法国北部的馆藏地即将进行大规模翻修，这件艺术珍品将被借展至伦敦。

Dear tourists and friends:
亲爱的游客朋友们：

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Yellow River Waterfall Tourist Area in Shaanxi Province. I am your tour guide. It is a great honor to enjoy this magnificent natural wonder with you.
大家好！欢迎大家来到陕西省黄河瀑布旅游区，我是你们的导游，非常荣幸能与大家一同领略这雄浑壮阔的自然奇观。

The Yellow River, as the mother river of the Chinese nation, not only gave birth to the splendid Chinese civilization but also created many breathtaking landscapes, and the Yellow River Waterfall is one of the most brilliant pearls among them.
黄河，作为中华民族的母亲河，它不仅孕育了灿烂的华夏文明，还造就了许多令人叹为观止的景观，而黄河瀑布就是其中最为璀璨的一颗明珠。

Before you approach the waterfall, you can hear the thunderous roar, as if the Yellow River is telling us its thousand-year-old stories. The closer you get to the waterfall, the louder the sound. The shocking power seems to penetrate your soul.
当您还未走近瀑布，就能听到那如雷般的轰鸣声，仿佛是黄河在向我们诉说着它千年的故事。越靠近瀑布，声音越大，那震撼人心的力量仿佛能穿透您的灵魂。

Finally, the Yellow River Waterfall is presented before us. The waterfall is about 50 meters wide and has a drop of more than 30 meters. The surging Yellow River water rushes down from the cliffs, like a giant dragon breaking free and flowing thousands of miles. The splashing water mist fills the air, forming a hazy fairyland.
终于，黄河瀑布展现在我们眼前。瀑布宽约 50 米，落差高达 30 多米，滔滔黄河水从悬崖峭壁上奔腾而下，犹如一条巨龙挣脱束缚，一泻千里，溅起的水雾弥漫在空中，形成了一片朦胧的仙境。

Standing by the side of the waterfall, you will be shocked by its majestic momentum. The Yellow River water comes with tremendous force, splashing water and roaring waves. Every drop of water seems to contain endless power, and every wave is telling the heroism of the Yellow River. This kind of power makes people marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature.
站在瀑布边上，您会被那磅礴的气势所震撼。黄河水以万钧之力汹涌而来，水花四溅，涛声震天。每一滴水珠都仿佛蕴含着无尽的力量，每一道浪花都在诉说着黄河的豪迈。这种力量，让人不禁感叹大自然的鬼斧神工。

Below the waterfall is a huge deep pool. The pool water is green and deep, forming a sharp contrast to the yellow color of the Yellow River water. Around the deep pool, there are strangely shaped rocks. Some are like fierce beasts, and some are like kind old people. They seem to be specially arranged here by nature to form a magical picture together with the waterfall.
瀑布的下方是一个巨大的深潭，潭水碧绿幽深，与黄河水的黄色形成了鲜明的对比。深潭周围怪石嶙峋，有的像凶猛的野兽，有的像慈祥的老人，它们仿佛是大自然特意安排在这里，与瀑布共同构成了一幅神奇的画卷。

In different seasons, the Yellow River Waterfall has different charms. In spring, as the ice and snow melt, the water volume of the waterfall gradually increases. The waterfall is like thousands of horses galloping, with a magnificent momentum. In summer, with abundant rainfall, the Yellow River water is surging. The roar of the waterfall is even more deafening, and the water mist is everywhere, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland. In autumn, with the clear sky and white clouds, the waterfall looks even more magnificent against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds. In winter, there will be peculiar landscapes such as ice hanging and ice waterfall around the waterfall, like an ice and snow world.
在不同的季节，黄河瀑布有着不同的魅力。春季，冰雪消融，瀑布水量逐渐增大，瀑布如万马奔腾，气势恢宏；夏季，雨水充沛，黄河水汹涌澎湃，瀑布的轰鸣声更加震耳欲聋，水雾弥漫，让人仿佛置身于仙境之中；秋季，天高云淡，瀑布在蓝天白云的映衬下，显得更加壮美；冬季，瀑布周围会出现冰挂、冰瀑等奇特景观，宛如一个冰雪世界。

The Yellow River Waterfall is not only a natural landscape but also carries rich historical and cultural connotations. Since ancient times, countless literati and poets have left magnificent poems here. "The water of the Yellow River comes down from the heaven and rushes to the sea never to return," Li Bai's poem vividly depicts the majestic momentum of the Yellow River.
黄河瀑布不仅是一道自然景观，还承载着丰富的历史文化内涵。自古以来，无数文人墨客在此留下了壮丽的诗篇。“黄河之水天上来，奔流到海不复回”，李白的诗句生动地描绘了黄河的雄伟气势。

In addition, the Yellow River Waterfall is also a symbol of the Chinese national spirit. Its momentum of moving forward bravely and never retreating inspires generations of Chinese people. During the Anti-Japanese War, the roar of the Yellow River Waterfall was like the cry of the Chinese nation against foreign enemies, inspiring people's patriotic enthusiasm and fighting spirit.
此外，黄河瀑布还是中华民族精神的象征。它那勇往直前、永不退缩的气势，激励着一代又一代的中华儿女。在抗日战争时期，黄河瀑布的怒吼仿佛是中华民族抵抗外敌的呐喊，激发着人们的爱国热情和战斗精神。

While enjoying the waterfall, you can also taste the local specialties. For example, the mutton noodles in northern Shaanxi. The noodles are chewy, the mutton is tender, and the soup is rich and unforgettable. There are also local red dates, which are big, thick-fleshed, sweet and delicious, and nutritious.
在观赏瀑布的同时，大家还可以品尝到当地的特色美食。比如，陕北的羊肉面，面条劲道，羊肉鲜嫩，汤汁浓郁，让人回味无穷。还有当地的红枣，个大肉厚，香甜可口，营养丰富。

To allow you to better appreciate the waterfall, there are several viewing platforms here. You can choose different angles according to your preferences to view this wonder.
为了让大家能够更好地欣赏瀑布，这里还设有多个观景台。大家可以根据自己的喜好选择不同的角度来观赏这一奇观。

During the tour, please pay attention to safety, do not approach dangerous areas, andabideby the regulations of the scenic area. At the same time, take care of the environment and do not litter. Let's jointly protect this beautiful natural landscape.
在游览过程中，请大家注意安全，不要靠近危险区域，遵守景区的规定。同时，也要爱护环境，不要乱扔垃圾，让我们共同保护这美丽的自然景观。

I hope everyone will have a pleasant and unforgettable time in the Yellow River Waterfall Tourist Area and leave wonderful memories!
希望大家在黄河瀑布旅游区度过一段愉快而难忘的时光，留下美好的回忆！

Thank you all!
谢谢大家！

Dear tourist friends:
尊敬的游客朋友们：

Hello everyone! Welcome to Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, which is known as the "fairyland on earth" and the "fairy tale world". I am your tour guide for this trip. It is my great honor to start this dream journey with you.
大家好！欢迎各位来到被誉为“人间仙境”“童话世界”的九寨沟景区，我是大家此次行程的导游，非常荣幸能与大家一同开启这段梦幻之旅。

Jiuzhaigou is located in Jiuzhaigou County, Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province. It is a branch of the Baihe River in the upper reaches of the Baishuigou. It is named after the nine Tibetan villages. Jiuzhaigou is over 2,000 meters above sea level and is covered with primeval forests. There are 108 lakes distributed in the ditch. It has six wonders: "emerald lakes, cascading waterfalls, colorful forests, snowy peaks, Tibetan customs, and blue ice", and is known as the "fairyland on earth".
九寨沟位于四川省阿坝藏族羌族自治州九寨沟县境内，是白水沟上游白河的支沟，因为有九个藏族村寨而得名。九寨沟海拔在 2000 米以上，遍布原始森林，沟内分布 108 个湖泊，有“翠海、叠瀑、彩林、雪峰、藏情、蓝冰”六绝，被誉为“人间仙境”。

Entering Jiuzhaigou, the first thing that comes into view is the brilliant and colorful forest. Every golden autumn, the trees on the mountain are tinted into various colors by the autumn wind. They are as red as fire, as yellow as gold, and as green as jade. It seems that nature has overturned its palette and painted a magnificent picture for us.
走进九寨沟，首先映入眼帘的是那一片片绚丽多彩的彩林。每当金秋时节，山上的树木被秋风染成了各种颜色，红的似火、黄的如金、绿的像玉，仿佛是大自然打翻了调色盘，为我们描绘出一幅美轮美奂的画卷。

The lakes in Jiuzhaigou are a great wonder. These lakes are called "Haizi" by the local people. The lake water is blue and clear all year round and is bright and limpid to the bottom. With the change of light and the passage of seasons, different tones and water rhymes are presented. The Five-Flower Lake can be said to be the essence of Jiuzhaigou. In the same water area, you can see colors such as yellowish, dark green, dark blue, and dark cyan. They are mottled and confusing, and extremely colorful. It is too beautiful to be real. There is also the Five-Color Pond. Although it is small in area, under the sunshine, it is colorful and just like a bright gem inlaid on the earth.
九寨沟的湖泊更是一大奇观。这些湖泊被当地人称为“海子”，湖水终年碧蓝澄澈，明丽见底。随着光照变化、季节推移，呈现出不同的色调与水韵。五花海可以说是九寨沟的精华，在同一水域中，你可以看到鹅黄、墨绿、深蓝、藏青等色彩，斑驳迷离，绚丽多姿，美得不似人间。还有五彩池，虽面积较小，但在阳光的照耀下，五彩斑斓，就像镶嵌在大地上的一颗璀璨宝石。

The waterfalls in Jiuzhaigou are also a sight not to be missed. Nuorilang Waterfall is the widest waterfall in China. The surging water comes from the Nuorilang Sea and flows down from the top of the waterfall like the Milky Way pouring down, with the sound shaking the valley. There is an observation deck opposite the waterfall. Standing on the deck, you can have a panoramic view of the entire waterfall. The majestic momentum will surely shock you.
而九寨沟的瀑布也是不容错过的美景。诺日朗瀑布是中国最宽的瀑布，滔滔水流自诺日朗群海而来，经瀑布的顶部流下，如银河飞泻，声震山谷。瀑布对面建有一座观景台，站在台上，瀑布全景尽收眼底，那种磅礴的气势定会让您为之震撼。

Jiuzhaigou not only has stunning natural scenery but also has rich Tibetan culture. The Tibetan compatriots here maintain their traditional way of life and unique cultural customs. Their songs, dances, costumes, and architectures are all full of strong ethnic characteristics, adding a profound cultural heritage to this magical land.
九寨沟不仅有绝美的自然风光，还有丰富的藏族文化。这里的藏族同胞们保持着传统的生活方式和独特的文化习俗，他们的歌舞、服饰、建筑都充满了浓郁的民族特色，为这片神奇的土地增添了深厚的人文底蕴。

While enjoying the beautiful scenery, I also hope that everyone can cherish every plant and tree here and protect this precious treasure bestowed upon us by nature.
在欣赏美景的同时，也希望大家能够爱护这里的一草一木，保护好这片大自然赐予我们的宝贵财富。

Now, please follow me and fully devote yourself to the embrace of Jiuzhaigou to feel its magic and beauty!
现在，请大家跟随我一起，尽情地投入到九寨沟的怀抱，去感受它的神奇与美丽吧！

I hope everyone can have an unforgettable time in Jiuzhaigou. Thank you all!
希望大家都能在九寨沟度过一段难忘的时光，谢谢大家！

This is how these young engineers envision Jacksonville, a coastal city in Florida in the next 100 years.
这就是这些年轻工程师对佛罗里达州沿海城市杰克逊维尔未来百年的设想。

The model called Agua Prope, meaning clean water, was presented by a team of middle school students from Houston at the Future City Nationals in Washington DC.
这款名为Agua Prope的模型寓意为"洁净之水"，由休斯顿中学生团队在华盛顿特区举办的未来城市全国总决赛中展示。

The students' goal was to build a city with a clean and reliable water supply.
学生们的目标是建造一座拥有清洁可靠供水系统的城市。

Many members on the Houston team have roots in Karachi, Pakistan's largest and most populated city, where water shortages and access to clean water are a persistent problem.
休斯顿队的许多队员都来自巴基斯坦最大且人口最多的城市卡拉奇，那里长期面临水资源短缺和难以获得清洁用水的问题。

Karachi right now is very behind, unlike America. A lot of people are on the streets, they don't have water to drink or they're drinking contaminated water needing any money. It's very hard to even like take showers over there.
卡拉奇现在非常落后，和美国不一样。很多人流落街头，他们没有水喝，或者只能喝被污染的水，而且身无分文。在那里连洗澡都很难。

And now go to Karachi for example, there's a lot of water shortage and power shortage.
以卡拉奇为例，那里严重缺水缺电。

For example, the water there costs a lot, and sometimes it's contaminated, sometimes which causes problems such as diarrhea, people getting sick and much more, and you don't have water in the house for days.
那里的水价格昂贵，而且有时还会受到污染，这会导致腹泻、人们生病等问题，甚至家中几天都没有水可用。

The government in Karachi says the city supplies only half of the water it needs daily. The consequences of Pakistan's water problems are tragic.
卡拉奇政府表示该市每日供水量仅为需求量的一半。巴基斯坦水资源问题的后果是悲剧性的。

UNICEF reports every year 53,000 children die of diarrhea caused by drinking contaminated water.
联合国儿童基金会报告称，每年有5.3万名儿童因饮用受污染的水而死于腹泻。

Students on the Houston team say their model includes a robust system that monitors supply and demand, storage, filtration, and diversion of conventional as well as flood waters across the Jacksonville landscape.
休斯顿团队的学生们表示，他们的模型包含一套强大系统，可监测杰克逊维尔地区常规用水与洪水的供需动态、存储情况、过滤处理及分流调度。

Our project is Agua Prope, located in Jacksonville, Florida, so the main problem in Jacksonville are storm surges, hurricanes and floods.
我们的项目Agua Prope位于佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔市，该地区主要面临风暴潮、飓风和洪水问题

A lot of problems actually internationally going on right now are that many people are not having access to water.
当前国际上确实存在许多问题，很多人无法获得水资源。

And a lot of people that do have access to water are drinking contaminated water that has like birth defects and like cancer-related issues.
许多能获得水的人喝的是受污染的水，这些水会导致出生缺陷和癌症等问题。

And they're also a coastal city. So we know how to generate power.
他们也在一座沿海城市，所以我们知道如何发电。

Organizers say some models are actually implemented. We had a team that actually won the National Finals a few years ago.
组织者表示，部分模型已实际投入使用。我们几年前有一支队伍真的赢得了全国总决赛。

And then as part of an unrelated mission trip with their church, they actually helped install a water filtration system in the Dominican Republic.
后来在一次与教会无关的宣教之旅中，他们实际上在多米尼加共和国帮忙安装了一个水过滤系统。

And so we're not only asking our participants to think about these challenges, but also empowering them in their solutions.
我们不仅要求参与者思考这些挑战，还让他们有能力去解决这些问题。

Agua Prope model won the People's Choice Award based on voting by the general public, and the Best Futuristic City award.
Agua Prope模型凭借公众投票赢得了人民选择奖以及最佳未来城市奖。

This model calls for technology so advanced, it will be decades before it can be implemented.
这一模型需要极其先进的技术，要等到数十年后才能实现。

But the students say they hope one day within the next 50 years, their vision of a clean water city will become a reality.
但学生们表示，他们希望在未来50年内的某一天，他们所设想的清洁水城能够成为现实。
