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。

This is an autonomous robot. It operates essentially on its own. It's on a program.
这是一个自动机器人，基本上是自主运作的，内部自带写好的程序。

Well, it's extremely useful because it frees up our officers to concentrate on, you know, other important community policing matters.
它非常有用，因为帮我们的警员减轻了负担，让我们集中精力处理社区中其他重要的警务。

It is a live monitoring system, so we are able to monitor the cameras live at the communications center.
它内置了一个实时监控系统，我们可以在通讯中心实时监控它的摄像头。

These are the four cameras that are positioned within the unit and it's always recording.
这是四个摄像头，它们都内置于设备内，时刻都在录像。

So, everywhere it goes, it's capturing all of that data. It also has a license plate reader feature which operates by this device right here.
无论走到哪它都可以捕获所有数据。它还有一个车牌读取功能，通过这个设备读取。

It's able to read license plates of vehicles in parking lots and it actually captures that data.
它能够读取停车场车辆的牌照，并能捕获这些数据。

It also has a distress button which is located here. So, somebody were to need assistance or they want to contact our communication center, they can do it by way of that distress button.
它也有一个求救按钮，就在这里。如果有人需要帮助或想与通讯中心联系，他们可以直接点击那个求助按钮。

And there's people that are monitoring on the other end.
有警员在通讯中心那一端监控。

So, the system also has the ability for a dispatcher or a monitor to get into the software and actually project communication through the robot to the person that has pressed the distress button.
这个系统可以让调度员或监控员使用软件，然后通过机器人投影与求救的人进行沟通交流。

If something wrong happens, the police can see it from the robot. And then the police can come and figure out what's happening to us.
如果出了什么事，警察可以通过机器人摄像头看到。然后警察就会出警，看看到底发生了什么。

We saw the autonomous robot in one of the conferences and we decided it might be something that could work for the parks as we've been having some concerns about safety.
我们在一场会议上看到了自动机器人，正好我们一直担心周边公园的安全问题，我们觉得这个机器人可能可以用于公园巡逻。

This park is the largest park in the city and it's highly used by the community, especially now during the summer.
这个公园是城市里最大的公园，居民的使用率很高，尤其是现在正值夏季。

So, we wanted an extra set of eyes that would help the police department in order to patrol it 24/7.
我们需要这样一双“额外的眼睛”来帮我们的警署进行每天24小时巡逻。

It travels the entire park. It is a programmed path but we're able to change the path and adapt it to, maybe, different activities that we become aware of.
它可以在整个公园巡逻。它会按照设定好的路线巡逻，不过我们可以改变路线，也可以让它适应一些我们需要的其他活动。

So, there's a person coming in. If it senses it too close, it'll stop for a moment. Good morning.
有个人过来了，如果它感应到距离太近，就会暂时停下。早上好。

All of this information is recorded. It's downloaded to a hard drive.
所有这些信息都会被记录下来。 然后被下载到一个硬盘上。

If something were to happen and we needed to go back to look at the video recording, we can always access that video also.
如果发生了什么情况，我们需要倒回去看视频录像，我们随时都可以调取那段视频。

Cost is around $65,000 a year. We already use different funds in order to cover it.
机器人每年花费约65000美元。我们已经用了不同的资金来支付其费用。

And like I said, it's a year-on-year basis. So, if we decide to renew it, it will come back to the council so we can vote on it.
我之前说过了，这是一个每年都会审核的项目，如果一年后我们决定继续使用这个机器人，议会会再次进行投票表决。

According to the National Center for Health Statistics of the United States, roughly 37 percent of US adults consume fast food on a daily basis.
根据美国国家卫生统计中心的数据，美国约有37％的成年人每天食用快餐。

The center found a significant rise in the number of severe obesity cases in very young children aged 2 to 5.
该中心发现，在2至5岁的幼儿中，严重肥胖的病例数显著增加。

Thank you so much for having us here in your home.
非常感谢您在这里招待我们。

Zobaida Falah on Ohio-based Muslim entrepreneur launched her snack bar company called Cure in June 2016,
俄亥俄州的穆斯林企业家佐贝达·法拉于2016年6月推出了她的零食棒公司Cure，

in an effort to end unhealthy food habits and raise awareness about proper nutrition and its benefits.
旨在终结不健康的饮食习惯，并提高人们对合理营养及其益处的认识。

To fight obesity and junk food habits, Falah created a line of organic healthy bars for all.
为了对抗肥胖和垃圾食品习惯，法拉为大众打造了一系列有机健康能量棒。

The idea came to her when she was teaching math and English to kids.
这个想法是在她教孩子们数学和英语时产生的。

I would watch my students to come into the classroom, eating chips and soda, refined sugars, bad carbs.
我看着我的学生们走进教室，嘴里吃着薯片、喝着汽水，这些食物含有精制糖和劣质碳水化合物。

And anytime I asked them why do you guys eat so poorly, a very common response was healthy food just doesn't taste good.
每当我问他们为什么吃这些垃圾食品时，最常见的回答就是健康食物不好吃。

With taste in her mind, Paula started experimenting on a unique recipe inspired by her grandmother.
想到了口味的重要性，法拉开始尝试制作一款独特的食谱，灵感来自她的祖母。

Ingredients include a mixture of nuts, flavorful seeds, honey and black seeds.
配料包括坚果混合物、风味种子、蜂蜜和黑籽。

It took off, but to this day, she still runs her business from home, meeting roughly four to six thousand orders a month.
这颇受欢迎，但直到今天，她仍然在家经营生意，每月约有四千到六千份订单。

Falah doesn't just want to change people's health but also tackle hunger as she donates a snack bar to the homeless for each one sold.
法拉不仅想改变人们的健康状况，还想解决饥饿问题，她每卖出一份零食棒，就会向无家可归者捐赠一份。

We have a social movement and mission behind the company, which means that when we first launched we would donate a bar for every bar that we sold, when we would donate it to people experiencing homelessness.
我们公司背负社会运动和使命，也就是说，我们刚推出产品时，每售出一份就会向无家可归者捐赠一份。

And as the company has grown and we've expanded and added new product lines to our brand, now we actually donate a percentage of all of our profits towards alleviating world hunger.
随着公司发展壮大，我们拓展了业务范围并为品牌新增了多条产品线，如今我们会将一定比例的利润捐赠出去 ，用于缓解全球饥饿问题 。

Falah says her company has helped more than 200,000 poor people in the U.S. and abroad, including refugees in Syria, Morocco, Palestine, and Gambia.
法拉说，她的公司已经帮助了美国及海外20多万贫困人口，其中包括叙利亚、摩洛哥、巴勒斯坦和冈比亚的难民。

On the floor of the North Atlantic Ocean rests one of history's most fantastic failures, the unsinkable RMS Titanic.
北大西洋的海底沉睡着历史上最不可思议的失败之一——永不沉没的皇家邮轮泰坦尼克号。

The salvage firm RMS Titanic Incorporated has so far recovered more than 5,000 pieces of dinnerware and coins from the wreckage.
到目前为止，打捞公司RMS Titanic Incorporated已经从残骸中找到了五千多件餐具和硬币。

They say after all these years underwater, time is running out to dredge the Marconi wireless telegraph machine that transmitted the Titanic's frantic distress calls.
他们说，由于在水下沉睡了这么多年，快没有时间打捞马可尼无线电报机了，也就是泰坦尼克号疯狂求救信号的发报机。

RMS Titanic Incorporated's presidents Bretton Hunchak: The roof has degraded significantly and the wreck is essentially collapsing in upon itself.
RMS Titanic Incorporated的总裁布雷顿·汉查克：其船顶已经严重退化，残骸也正在不断坍塌。

So we're at a point where the Marconi is really in a detrimental area, where we believe in a short period of time, it will fall in upon itself, leaving the Marconi sort of to be lost to the seafloor.
我们认为马可尼无线电报机正处于一个不利位置， 我们相信在短时间内船体残骸可能会坍塌， 马可尼无线电报机可能会沉没在海底。

At the time the Titanic was the world's biggest ship. The luxury ocean liner set sail from London to New York, but struck an iceberg on April 14th,1912.
当时泰坦尼克号是世界上最大的轮船，这艘豪华的远洋客轮从伦敦驶往纽约，但在1912年四月十四日撞上了冰山。

The ship sent distress signals in Morse code using the relatively new Marconi wireless Telegraph.
这艘船使用相对较新的马可尼无线电报机用摩尔斯电码发送求救信号。

Less than three hours later, it's sank. Only 700 of the more than 2,000 people on board survived.
不到三个小时后，它就沉没于海底。船上两千多人中只有七百人生还。

The Marconi is sort of I believe this generation's next step, and I believe that bringing a tangible part of Titanic to the masses, as opposed to just a few people they get to go see it, really makes that story real for them.
我相信马可尼无线电报机是这一代人的下一个探索目标，而且我觉得，把泰坦尼克号实实在在的一部分呈现给大众，而不只是让少数人有机会去参观，能让大众真切感受到那段故事。

It's a human interest piece. It's an incredible piece of technology especially for its day.
这是一件充满了人情气息的物品。这是一项令人难以置信的技术，特别是在当时。

And it's the reason that I think the legacy of Titanic still exists in the strength that it does.
这就是我认为泰坦尼克号的遗产仍然存在于它现存残骸中的原因。

But outside of the Titanic Belfast Museum, not everyone shares Hunchak's quest to raise the Titanic or even parts of it, fearing the stress of extraction on the sunken ship.
但在泰坦尼克号贝尔法斯特博物馆之外， 并不是每个人都像汉查克一样支持打捞泰坦尼克号，甚至是打捞泰坦尼克号的一部分， 因为他们担心打捞会给沉船带来巨大压力。

Parliamentarian Gavin Robinson: We will learn nothing new. There are other Marconi videos just exactly the same, that are present and in other museums available throughout the world.
国会议员加文·罗宾逊：我们不会得到其它新的信息。还有其它完全相同的马可尼无线电报机的视频， 就存放在世界各地的其它博物馆中。

You can learn and understand without the need to go in and wreck and destroy.
你可以去学习和理解，没必要进去破坏。

Engineers built Titanic and it's tendered the SS Nomadic in Belfast.
工程师们建造了泰坦尼克号，并使其与贝尔法斯特的游牧号一起离开。

Today of battle wages in the United States, where the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration argues in court that,
如今基于打捞工作展开了争论， 美国国家海洋和大气管理局在法庭上辩称，

the retrieval run goes against previous court orders prohibiting the removal of anything from the ship itself.
打捞工作违反了之前法院禁止从船上移走任何东西的命令。

It is a nonprofit dedicated to encouraging reuse in our community, providing affordable materials to artists and teachers and all creative minds in the area.
这是一个非营利组织，致力于在社区中鼓励废物再利用，为艺术家、教师和该地区所有有创造力的人提供价格低廉的材料。

I learned about creative reuse centers over a decade ago, and they really sparked something in me,
我在十多年前就了解了创造性再利用中心，它们真的激发了我的灵感，

because I'd always been a creative reuse artist, but I didn't know there was a name for it really and there was a community for it.
因为我一直是一个创造性再利用艺术家，但我不知道这种行为有名字，也不知道还有一个专门的社区。

When I was a lot younger, one of the first inspirations I had was someone was throwing away this baking tin.
小时候，我的一次灵感来源于这个别人扔掉的烘焙罐头。

And I was like, don't throw that away, I could do something with that.
我想，别扔掉，我可以用它做点什么。

I didn't know what, but we drilled a hole in the middle and turned it into a clock.
我也不知道能做什么，但我们在中间钻了个洞，把它变成了一个钟。

I called it my cupcake clock. I like to do a lot of CD mosaics.
我把它叫做纸杯蛋糕钟。我喜欢用CD打造马赛克。

I did a series of all the local colleges that people seem to really like, and it's on an old like pantry door that got discarded.
我用它们做了一系列当地大学的标识，大家似乎都很喜欢，这些作品被画在一扇废弃的老旧食品储藏室门上。

And I also make tiny little earrings out of paper like maps, music paper, old books, things like that.
我还用地图、乐谱用纸、旧书之类的做小耳环。

We are just outside of Leesburg, Virginia, which is kind of the keystone of Loudoun County.

And it is a wonderful community that embraces arts and small businesses.
这是一个很棒的社区，它接纳艺术和小型企业。

Donations come in very willingly, all kinds of things, fabrics, sewing notions, paper, office supplies, lots of creative things that kids like to use like pompoms and buttons and pipe cleaners.
捐赠物品纷至沓来，种类繁多，有布料、缝纫用品、纸张、办公用品，还有很多孩子们喜欢用的创意物品，比如绒球、纽扣和管道清洁剂。

All kinds of materials that might otherwise go to the waste, we take in and we try to find a new home for them.
我们回收了那些别人会扔掉的材料，并试图为它们找到新的用处。

Our center attracts a wide range of people, ages and coming for all types of reasons.
