What is our top story?
我们的头条故事是什么？
Our headliner today comes from the tech world.
我们今天的头条新闻来自科技界。
Yesterday, on September 7th, Huawei made waves by officially launching the Mate XT in Guangzhou.
昨天，也就是 9 月 7 日，华为在广州正式发布了 Mate XT，引发了轰动。
It is the world's very first triple -folding smartphone, and it is powered by a brand new high
它是全球首款三折叠屏智能手机，由一款全新的高
-performance chip called the Kirin 9050 Pro.
-性能芯片麒麟 9050 Pro 驱动。
Wait, did you say triple -folding?
等等，你说是三折叠？
As in it folds twice to create three distinct screens?
也就是说它折叠两次，形成三个独立的屏幕？
That sounds like something straight out of a science fiction movie.
听起来就像是从科幻电影里走出来的一样。
How does that even work physically?
这在物理上到底是怎么实现的？
It really is a massive engineering feat.
这确实是一个巨大的工程壮举。
Think of it like a brochure or a paper map.
把它想象成一本宣传册或一张纸质地图。
Instead of just closing like a book, which is how normal folding phones work, this one folds like a
它不像普通折叠屏手机那样只是像书一样合上，这款手机折叠起来就像
Z -shape or an accordion.
Z 字形或手风琴一样。
When you fully unfold it, you basically get a full -size tablet.
当您完全展开它时，基本上就得到了一台全尺寸的平板电脑。
Huawei achieved this by using what they call logical folding technology.
华为通过使用他们所谓的逻辑折叠技术实现了这一点。
Hold on a second, Liam.
稍等片刻，Liam。
Logical folding technology?
逻辑折叠技术？
That sounds super professional.
听起来非常专业。
Could you break that down for us in simple terms?
你能用通俗的语言为我们解释一下吗？
Of course.
当然可以。
Let us use a metaphor.
让我们打个比喻。
Imagine you have a thick blanket.
想象一下你有一条厚毯子。
If you fold it normally, the middle part gets very bulky and tight, right?
如果你正常折叠它，中间部分会变得非常笨重和紧绷，对吧？
Logical folding technology is like having special smart hinges that allow different parts of the
逻辑折叠技术就像拥有特殊的智能铰链，允许屏幕的不同部分
screen to bend inward and outward at different angles without structuring or damaging the delicate
以不同的角度向内和向外弯曲，而不会损坏脆弱的
screen materials.
屏幕材料。
It coordinates the hardware and software so the phone knows exactly how much screen you are using at
它协调硬件和软件，因此手机能准确知道在
any given second.
任何特定时刻你正在使用多少屏幕。
Ah, I see.
啊，我明白了。
So it's like a super smart hinge system that keeps the screen smooth, whether it's folded up in your
所以这就像一个超智能的铰链系统，保持屏幕平整，无论它是折叠在你的
pocket or fully opened on your desk.
口袋里，还是完全展开放在桌子上。
That's incredibly cool.
这真是难以置信地酷。
It's amazing how fast mobile technology is moving.
移动技术的创新速度真是令人赞叹。
It truly is.
确实如此。
Now, moving from technological breakthroughs to an incredibly inspiring human story.
现在，让我们从技术突破转向一个极其励志的人文故事。
On September 6th, a young man named Guo Bin officially reported for his first day of college at
9 月 6 日，名叫郭斌的年轻小伙子正式到校报到，开启他在
Changchun University.
长春大学的第一天。
What makes his story extraordinary is that Guo Bin lost his sight in a tragic high -profile incident
让他的故事变得非凡的是，郭斌在一个悲剧性的、备受瞩目的事件中失明了
years ago when he was just a young boy.
多年前，当时他还是个年幼的男孩。
Oh, I remember that heartbreaking case from years ago.
哦，我记得多年前那个令人心碎的案子。
It's so wonderful to hear his name again in such a positive light.
能在如此积极的正面报道中再次听到他的名字真是太好了。
How did he do in his exams?
他考试考得怎么样？
He did exceptionally well.
他考得极其出色。
In the National Special Education College entrance exam, he scored an amazing 721 points.
在全国特殊教育高考中，他考出了惊人的721分。
And get this, Emily, he is going to pursue a double degree in computer science and traditional
还有，埃米莉，他将攻读计算机科学和传统
Chinese medicine.
中医学的双学位。
A double degree? Wow.
双学位？哇。
Let us pause there for our listeners.
让 我们为听众朋友们在这里暂停解释一下。
A double degree means studying two entirely different major fields of study at the same time and
双学位意味着同时学习两个完全不同的专业领域，并且
graduating with two separate qualifications.
毕业时获得两个独立的资格证书。
That's tough for anyone.
这对任何人来说都是艰难的。
But studying computer science without being able to see?
但是在看不见的情况下学习计算机科学？
That sounds almost impossible.
那听起来几乎是不可能的。
How does a blind student write code or study programming?
盲人学生如何写代码或学习编程？
It is definitely challenging, but modern technology helps bridge the gap.
这绝对很有挑战性，但现代技术有助于缩小差距。
Visually impaired programmers use specialized screen reading software that reads out the code line
视力受损的程序员使用专门的读屏软件逐行朗读代码
by line.
逐行读取。
They also use braille displays, which are devices that translate computer text into physical braille
他们还使用盲文显示器，这种设备可以将计算机文本转化为实物盲文
dots that they can feel with their fingertips.
他们可以用指尖感知的盲文点阵。
Since programming is highly logical, many visually impaired individuals actually excel at it once
由于编程逻辑性强，许多视障人士实际上很擅长它，只要
they master the tools.
他们掌握了这些工具。
That is absolutely mind -blowing.
这绝对是令人震撼的。
Guobin is a true symbol of resilience.
郭斌是真正的韧性象征。
Resilience, by the way, is the ability to recover quickly from difficult conditions.
顺便说一下，韧性是指从困境中迅速恢复的能力。
He did not let his circumstances define his future.
他没有让自己的 境遇决定自己的未来。
We wish him the absolute best of luck in his university journey.
我们祝愿他在大学旅程中顺顺利利。
Indeed, he is an inspiration to us all.
的确，对我们所有人来说，他都是一种鼓舞。
Now, let us transition to a story about the internet, and specifically the unexpected consequences
现在，让我们过渡到关于互联网的故事，特别是关于意想不到的后果
of viral fame.
网络走红带来的名气。
Over in Sha Sing, judging province, a 75 -year -old man named Chen Jin Ao, who became known online as
在浙江省绍兴市，一位名叫陈金鳌的75岁老人网络上被称为
Gourd Grandpa, recently had to make a very sad decision.
“葫芦爷爷”，最近不得不做一个非常悲伤的决定。
Gourd Grandpa?
葫芦爷爷？
That sounds like a character from a traditional fairy tale.
那听起来像传统童话里的角色。
Why did he become famous, and what was his sad decision?
他为什么会出名？他悲伤的决定是什么？
Well, he grew seven beautiful, perfect gourds on his balcony.
嗯，他在自己的阳台上种出了七个美丽、完美的葫芦。
Tourists noticed them, posted photos online, and he suddenly went viral.
游客注意到了它们，将照片发到网上，他突然爆火了。
Thousands of people started crowding under his balcony, shouting and calling out to him day and night.
成千上万的人开始聚集在他的阳台下，日夜高呼并向他喊话。
It got so bad that on the night of September 5th, because the constant noise made his wife dizzy and
事情变得太糟了，以至于在9月5日晚上，由于持续的噪音让他妻子感到头晕和
sick, he felt he had no choice but to cut down all seven of his beloved gourds.
恶心，他觉得别无选择，只能砍掉他所有七个心爱的葫芦。
Oh, that is so heartbreaking.
哦，那真是太令人心碎了。
He literally had to destroy his own beautiful plants just to get some peace and quiet.
他简直不得不毁掉自己美丽的植物，只为了换取清静。
This is a classic example of the dark side of viral tourism, or what we sometimes call over -tourism. Exactly.
这是网红旅游阴暗面（即我们有时称之为“过度旅游”）的一个经典例证。确实如此。
Over -tourism happens when too many people visit a place at once, damaging the local environment and
当太多人同时游览一个地方，破坏当地环境并
ruining the quality of life for the residents.
破坏居民的生活质量时，就会发生过度旅游。
While some local shops saw their sales increase by four times thanks to the crowds, the personal
虽然多亏了人群，当地一些商店的销售额增加了四倍，但个人
cost to Gourd Grandpa and his family was just too high.
葫芦爷爷及其家庭付出的代价实在是太高了。
It is a real shame.
这真是一个巨大的遗憾。
It shows that when we travel or follow online trends, we must always respect the privacy and peace
这表明，当我们旅行或关注网络热点时，我们必须始终尊重隐私与宁静
of local residents.
当地居民的。
Fame shouldn't come at the cost of someone's health.
名声不应该以牺牲某人的健康为代价。
Well said, Emily.
说得好，艾米莉。
Speaking of health and the pressures of modern life, our next story touches on a profession we all
说到健康和现代生活的压力，我们的下一个故事涉及了一项我们大家都
respect, teachers.
尊重的职业，教师。
A recent survey revealed that over 90 % of basic education teachers are struggling with occupational
最近的一项调查显示，超过 90% 的基础教育教师正在与职业健康问题作斗争
health issues, and one of the most surprising findings is that many teachers have developed what is
而最令人惊讶的发现之一是，许多教师患上了所谓的
called phone anxiety.
手机焦虑症。
Phone anxiety?
手机焦虑？
I think a lot of us can relate to that, but why is it specifically affecting teachers so badly?
我想我们很多人都能对此产生共鸣，但为什么它会特别对教师造成如此严重的影响呢？
Because of constant connectivity.
因为持续的连通性。
Teachers are now expected to be available almost 24 hours a day on communication apps.
现在，教师被期望在通讯软件上几乎一天 24 小时随时待命。
They have to manage multiple parent -teacher chat groups, reply to messages late at night, and handle
他们必须管理多个家校沟通群，在深夜回复消息，并处理
various non -teaching administrative tasks right on their phones.
直接在手机上处理各种非教学性质的行政任务。
It is like having a digital leash that never lets them fully relax.
这就像有一条数字栓绳，让他们永远无法彻底放松。
That sounds exhausting.
这听起来令人筋疲力尽。
Your home is supposed to be a place where you can switch off.
你的家本应是一个你可以彻底放松停歇的地方。
If your phone is buzzing every five minutes with a worried parent or a school administrator, you are
如果你的手机每五分钟就因为焦急的家长或学校管理者而响个不停，你
essentially always at work.
本质上就一直处于工作状态。
No wonder they are feeling stressed. Precisely.
难怪他们感到压力山大。正是如此。
It shows we need better digital boundaries to protect our teachers' mental health, so they can focus
这表明我们需要更好的数字界限来保护教师的心理健康，以便他们能够专注
on what they do best. Teaching.
于他们最擅长的事——教学。
I completely agree.
我完全赞同。
