A moment that is filled with both happiness and worry for future parents.
对准父母来说，这是一个既充满幸福又夹杂着担忧的时刻。

It's like we're having a baby. Social networks are filled with such videos.
我们要迎来一个新生命了。社交网络中充斥着这样的视频。

However, it's pretty hard to find stories from the other end of the spectrum: families talking about miscarriages.
然而，要找到另一个极端的故事却相当困难，即那些谈论流产经历的家庭故事。

Heather Hodnicki and her husband Joe, parents of a one-year-old boy, recorded this video when doctors told them Heather's second pregnancy is unlikely to be viable.
Heather Hodnicki和她的丈夫Joe有一个一岁大的男孩，当医生告诉他们Heather的第二次怀孕不太可能成功时，他们录下了这段视频。

A hematoma formed around the fetus, and at nine weeks Heather had a miscarriage.
胎儿周围形成了血肿，到第九周时，Heather流产了。

Instead of closing up, she started a blog on Instagram, where she shares her difficult experience.
她没有封闭自己，而是在照片墙上开了一个博客，分享自己的艰难经历。

It was a loss of a little life, and then I would relate to it. As you know it was a little soul that was with me, and I saw a heartbeat on the monitor, and then that little soul was gone.
我失去了一个小生命，我对此感同身受。如你所知，那是一个曾陪伴着我的小灵魂，我在监视器上看到了心跳，接着那个小灵魂就消逝了。

So talking to other women took the taboo. I mean, I know it's something that's very taboo to talk about.
和其他女性谈论这个话题就成了禁忌，我知道这是一个禁忌话题，

But in doing so, it made it easier for me to process the fact that it is a loss, and I am allowed to feel the emotions that I'm feeling.
但这样做让我更容易接受失去的事实，而且我也被允许去感受自己当下的情绪。

Out of every hundred pregnancies, about 10 to 15 end in miscarriages and a lot of women blame themselves.
每100次怀孕中，大约有10到15次会以流产告终，许多女性会自责。

Doctors say a miscarriage before the end of the first trimester usually means the embryo had chromosomal abnormalities.
医生表示，在妊娠前三个月内发生的流产通常意味着胚胎有染色体异常。

We've just gonna present next month a study on 55,000 patients that had miscarriages, and they had genetic testing on the miscarriage.
我们将在下个月发布一项关于55,000名流产患者的研究，并对流产组织进行了基因检测。

56 percent of the pregnancies that were lost were genetically abnormal.
在流产的孕妇中，有56%是基因异常。

Doctors say age plays a critical role. If a woman is in her 30s and has one or even two miscarriages, there can be a reason that is structural.
医生说年龄起着至关重要的作用。如果一个30多岁的女人流产了一次甚至两次，可能有一个结构性的原因。

In other words, like a fibroid, or can be immunological or homological, that could be a clotting disorder or an antibody, could be an infection, so there could be something that is really treatable.
换句话说，可能像纤维瘤一样，可能是免疫问题，也可能是同源的，可能是凝血障碍或者抗体问题，也可能是感染，有些病症是可以治愈的。

If a woman's in her 40s, then recurrent miscarriages are usually due to the eggs not being healthy, because when a woman's in her 40s, almost 90 percent of the eggs exit chromosomally abnormal.
如果一个女人40多岁，反复流产通常是由于卵子不健康，因为当女性到了40多岁时，近90%的卵子会出现染色体异常。

Doctors say that most women who have experienced a miscarriage will in time give birth to healthy babies, most of them without any special treatment.
医生们表示，大多数经历过流产的女性最终都会生下健康的宝宝，其中大部分无需任何特殊治疗。

I had a patient years ago. She came in and she was in her early 30s. She had 27 miscarriages and I said first I didn't believe her.
几年前我有个病人。她来就诊时，大约三十岁出头。她经历过27次流产，起初我不相信她。

I got all her records, went through them. They all had been documented.
我拿到了她所有的记录，仔细查看了一番。所有记录都已存档。

She had had most of the tests done and we completed the tests, and really in her case there were a few little things that were off but nothing major.
她已完成大部分检查，我们完成了剩余检查，就她的情况而言，确实有几个小指标异常，但并无大碍。

And after I got all her information, I said, "Can I ask you a question?" I asked her.
等我了解到她所有的信息后 ，我问她：“我能问你个问题吗？”

I said, "I've been seeing patients with miscarriages for many many years.
我说：“多年来，我一直在接诊流产患者。

I don't even, I can't even imagine how you can think about trying to have another pregnancy after having 27 pregnancies and 27 miscarriages."
我简直无法想象，在经历了27次怀孕和27次流产之后，你怎么还会想着再去尝试怀孕。”

And she said, "Dr Kutteh, I just know that. I'm gonna have a baby."
她说：“库特医生，我就是知道。我会怀上孩子的。”

And I said, "Well, as long as you're willing to still have hope and continue trying that, I'm willing to do everything that I can to help you."
我说：“只要你愿意仍然抱有希望并继续努力，我愿意尽我所能帮助你。”

And she eventually, with her next pregnancy, did have a pregnancy.
最终，她再次怀孕时，确实成功受孕了。

Three months ago, Heather gave birth to a healthy baby girl.
三个月前Heather生了一个健康的女孩。

Like many other women who have gone through a miscarriage experience, she calls her daughter a rainbow child, and baby Willow unknowingly helps her mom heal very fast.
和其他许多有过流产经历的女性一样，她称自己的女儿为“彩虹宝宝” ，而小薇洛在不知不觉中帮助妈妈很快地治愈了心灵创伤。

It's always emotional thinking about that baby that we lost.
一想到我们失去的那个孩子，总是让人感慨万千。

The best advice that I can give to women who are going through something similar is to reach out to your friends, reach out to your family, possibly reach out to your doctors, to see if they can give you any advice on who to turn to, who to talk to.
我能给有类似经历的女性的最好建议是：向你的朋友求助，向你的家人求助，也可以向你的医生咨询，看看他们能否给你一些建议，告诉你该向谁求助、该和谁倾诉。

Definitely, you know, talking it out with anybody I find helps.
当然，我觉得和任何人把事情说出来都有帮助。

Researchers from universities in Edinburgh and Mexico spent seven years studying the behaviour of black-handed spider monkeys in the Yucatan Peninsula. They observed that the large groups the primates live in split into smaller subgroups when searching for food. Different combinations of monkeys would split off each time, meaning the same subgroup might never forage together twice.
来自爱丁堡和墨西哥多所大学的研究人员花了七年时间研究尤卡坦半岛上黑掌蜘蛛猴的行为。他们观察到，这类灵长目动物群居的大群体会在寻找食物时分成一个个小分队。每次分出来的小分队成员都不同，这意味着几乎不会出现原班人马第二次一起觅食的情况。

Dr Matthew Silk from the University of Edinburgh says these groups are a clever way of sharing knowledge about the locations of the best fruit trees. Some parts of the forest were known by many monkeys, like a town's favourite restaurant, while others were known by just one or two, like a hidden gem.
爱丁堡大学的马修·西尔克博士称，这种分组方式很聪明，可以有效地分享最好吃的果树位置。森林里的某些地方就像城里最受欢迎的餐厅，很多猴子都知道；而有些地方则像一个鲜为人知的 “宝藏小店”，只有一两只猴子了解。

Less than a centimetre in size, these tiny snails had been pushed to thebrinkof extinction.
这些体长不足一厘米的小型蜗牛一度濒临灭绝。

Their home on the Madeira Archipelago had been grazed bare by invasive goats and rabbits, while mice saw the molluscs as a water source.
它们在马德拉群岛上的栖息地被入侵的山羊和兔子啃食殆尽，而老鼠则将这些软体动物当作水分的来源。

But after conservation work, including a breeding programme at Chester Zoo, hundreds of the snails have now been returned to the wild. The team said they had one shot to save the species.
不过，在实施了一系列动物保护措施后，包括切斯特动物园的一个繁育项目，数百只蜗牛如今已经被重新放归野外。研究团队表示，他们只有这一次机会来拯救这一物种。

The mission involved transporting them in the dark to snail-friendly crevices in the rocks. It's hoped they come out of their shell to restore soil and boost the natural habitat.
此次行动包括在夜间将这些蜗牛转移到适宜生存的岩石缝中。人们希望它们能从壳中爬出、重新活跃起来，从而帮助恢复土壤环境，促进当地生态栖息地的恢复。

We have four seasons in the UK. I like to think that spring gets its name from the flowers springing up to bloom. Next is my personal favourite – summer. I love the long, balmy evenings. Autumn, as some call fall, comes after. It's characterised by the orange and red leaves. Winter rolls around, and most of the vegetation is either decomposing or already dead, and the days are short and gloomy.
英国有四个季节。 我喜欢认为春天因花朵绽放而得名。 接下来是我个人最喜欢的——夏天。 我喜欢漫长而温暖的夜晚。 秋天，有些人称之为秋天，随之而来。 它的特点是橙色和红色的叶子。 冬季来临，大部分植被要么腐烂，要么已经死亡，白天短而阴沉。

It's no wonder that, according to the Royal College of Psychiatrists, about three in every hundred people in the UK experience seasonal affective disorder, otherwise known as SAD. However, researchers at the Royal College of Psychiatrists have discovered that all seasons have an impact on our psychological functioning. It's also been found that hormones play an important role in seasonal mood changes as they fluctuate throughout the year.
根据皇家精神病学家学院的数据，英国每 100 人中约有 3 人患有季节性情感障碍（也称为 SAD），这也就不足为奇了。 然而，皇家精神病学院的研究人员发现，所有季节都会对我们的心理功能产生影响。 研究还发现，荷尔蒙在季节性情绪变化中发挥着重要作用，因为它们在一年中都有波动。

An article published on Springer Nature Link observes positive emotional and physical changes to volunteers who were exposed to UVA from the Sun. Serotonin, known as 'the happy hormone', and dopamine, which is linked to motivation and pleasure, increases in months where there is a boost of sunlight. Similarly, lovers of spring recalibrate their energy and mood. After the cold, dark seasons of autumn and winter, it can feel like a biological reset.Springer Nature Link
上发表的一篇文章观察到暴露于太阳 UVA 的志愿者在情绪和身体上发生了积极的变化。 被称为“快乐荷尔蒙”的血清素和与动力和快乐有关的多巴胺在阳光充足的月份会增加。 同样，春天的爱好者也会重新调整他们的能量和情绪。 在寒冷、黑暗的秋冬季节过后，感觉就像是生物重置。

Speaking of cold and dark, this is when those with naturally higher serotonin levels feel their mood regulating. They no longer feel overwhelmed by the high-level serotonin seasons of spring and summer. Reduced sunlight triggers higher melatonin, the sleepy hormone. There is the notion of preparing to slow down and get cosy, like that of animals in hibernation. It also rains more in autumn and winter. The Mind Company says that rain sounds reduce cortisol, the stress hormone, and helps you relax, focus and even sleep better.
说到寒冷和黑暗，这是那些天生血清素水平较高的人感受到情绪调节的时候。 他们不再因春季和夏季血清素水平高的季节而感到不知所措。 阳光减少会引发更高的褪黑激素（一种嗜睡激素）。 有一个概念是准备放慢脚步并变得舒适，就像冬眠的动物一样。 秋季和冬季雨水也较多。 The Mind Company 表示，雨声可以减少皮质醇（压力荷尔蒙），帮助您放松、集中注意力，甚至睡得更好。

We might like one season more than others. Our experience of seasons differs depending on location and environment. But one thing is for sure – our feelings change from season to season, and recognising these changes can help us act in ways that are in-line with our mental, emotional and physical capabilities.
我们可能比其他季节更喜欢某个季节。 我们对季节的体验因地点和环境而异。 但有一件事是肯定的——我们的感受随着季节的变化而变化，认识到这些变化可以帮助我们以符合我们心理、情感和身体能力的方式行事。

Doctors said Pope Francis is no longer in imminent danger of death as a result of pneumonia, but have decided to keep him hospitalized for several more days to receive treatment.
医生表示，教皇方济各不再因肺炎而面临死亡危险，但决定让他住院几天接受治疗。

Francis on Monday followed the Vatican's week-long spiritual retreat via video conference. AP correspondent Charles De Ledesma reports.

Pasolini is delivering a series of meditations this week on the hope of eternal life, a theme that was chosen well before the Pope's hospitalization on February 14 with a complex lung infection. I'm Charles De Ledesma.
帕索里尼本周发表了一系列关于永生希望的冥想，这个主题是在教皇2月14日因复杂肺部感染住院之前就选定的。我是查尔斯·德·莱德斯马。
