Now, Oliver, we have a packed show today.
好了，奥利弗，我们今天的节目内容非常丰富。
Our headline story takes us to the cutting edge of consumer technology.
我们的头条新闻将带我们走进消费科技的前沿。
The tech world is absolutely buzzing because Apple has finally officially revealed its most
科技界现在完全沸腾了，因为苹果公司终于正式公布了其最
anticipated device in over a decade.
十多年来最令人期待的设备。
Oh, are we talking about the legendary folding iPhone?
哦，我们是在说那款传奇般的折叠屏 iPhone 吗？
I have been hearing rumors about this for years. Exactly.
我听关于这个的传闻好几年了。确实如此。
It is officially called the iPhone Duo, and it was revealed by Apple CEO John Turnus.
它被正式命名为 iPhone Duo，由苹 果公司首席执行官约翰·特纳斯揭晓。
The standard retail price is set to start at $2 ,000, which translates to roughly 13 ,400 yuan.
标准零售价定为2000美元起，折合人民币约13400元。
$2 ,000?
2000美元？
That is quite a premium price tag.
这确实是个相当高端的价格。
But wait, Sophia, for our listeners who might not be tech experts, what exactly is a folding phone?
不过等等，苏菲亚，对于可能不是科技专家的听众来说，折叠屏手机究竟是什么？
And what does Duo imply?
Duo 又意味着什么？
Great questions.
问得好，很棒的问题。
A folding phone or foldable phone is a device with a flexible screen that can actually bend in half
折叠屏手机是一种配备柔性屏幕的设备，它实 际上可以对折
without breaking.
而不会损坏。
The term Duo implies too, because the phone effectively serves a dual purpose.
Duo 这个词也意味着“二”，因为这款手机实际上具有双重用途。
When it is folded closed, it looks like a standard smartphone.
当它折叠关闭时，看起来就像一部标准的智能手机。
But when you open it up like a book, it unfolds into a much larger tablet -sized screen.
但当你像打开书本一样打开它时，它会展开成一个大得多的平板电脑大小的屏幕。
It gives you the best of both worlds.
它让你兼得两个世界的好处。
Ah, that makes perfect sense.
啊，这完全说得通了。
So you get a massive screen for watching videos or working, but it still fits comfortably in your
所以你拥有了一个看视频或工作用的巨大屏幕，但它依然能舒服地装进你的
pocket when you fold it up.
当你折叠起来时的口袋里。
I can see why people are so eager to get their hands on one.
我能明白为什么大家如此渴望拿到一部了。
In fact, I heard that the pre -order hype is so intense that people are paying crazy fees just to
事实上，我听说预购炒作非常激烈，人们甚至支付狂热的高费仅仅是为了
have someone secure a phone for them.
让别人帮他们抢到一部手 机。
They are.
他们确实如此。
Scalpers and pre -order assistance services are charging up to 1 ,500 yuan just to guarantee a
黄牛和代预购服务甚至收取高达 1500 元的费用，仅仅是为了保证
reservation on launch day.
发售日当天的预订名额。
1 ,500 yuan just to wait in a virtual line.
仅仅为了在虚拟队列中排队就要 1500 元。
Let us explain that word scalper to our English learners.
让我们向英语学习者解释一下 scalper（黄牛）这个词。
A scalper is someone who buys highly popular items like concert tickets or hot new gadgets and then
黄牛是指购买演唱会门票或热销的新型数码产品等极受欢迎物品的人，然后
resells them to others at a much higher price to make a quick profit.
以高得多的价格转售给其他人，以快速赚取利润。
It is a wild market, but it certainly shows how much people want this new tech.
这是一个火爆的市场，但它确实表明了人们有多么想要这项新技术。
It really does.
确实如此。
Now, let us shift our focus from the tech in our pockets to the technology on our roads.
现在，让我们把注意力从口袋里的技术转移到道路上的技术。
There is a historic shift happening in the automotive market right now.
目前汽车市场正在发生历史性的转变。
Traditional gasoline -powered cars are facing a massive decline in popularity in China.
传统燃油车在中国市场的受欢迎程度正面临大幅下滑。
Oh, really?
哦，真的吗？
Just how big is this decline?
这次下滑究竟有多大？
Well, the August sales numbers are in, and traditional fuel passenger cars sold only 540 ,000 units,
嗯，八月份的销量数据已经出炉，传统燃油乘用车仅售出 54 万辆，
which is a massive 40 % drop compared to the same period last year.
与去年同期相比出现了 40% 的巨大下滑。
On the flip side, new energy vehicles, or NEVs, reached a historic high penetration rate of 65 .2%.
另一方面，新能源汽车（NEV）的渗透率达到了历史新高的 65.2%。
Wow, 65 .2%.
哇，65.2%。
And I read that not a single traditional gasoline car made it into the top 10 best -selling car
我还了解到，竟然没有一辆传统的燃油车挤进前 10 名最畅销的汽车
models of the month.
本月车型榜单中。
That is a total game -changer.
这简直是彻底的局势改变者。
But Sophia, let's break down that phrase penetration rate for our listeners.
但是索菲亚，让我们为听众拆解一下“渗透率”这个词组。
What does that mean in this context?
在这种语境下这意味着什么？
In business and economics, the penetration rate is a measure of how much a product or a technology
在商业和经济学中，渗透率是衡量某种产品或技术
is used in a specific market.
在特定市场中使用情况的指标。
So a 65 .2 % penetration rate means that out of every 100 new passenger cars sold in China in August,
因此，65.2% 的渗透率意味着，八月份中国每售出 100 辆新乘用车，
more than 65 of them were electric or hybrid vehicles.
其中就有 65 多辆是电动或混合动力汽车。
That is an incredible majority.
这占了难以置信的绝大多数。
It's like going to a parking lot, looking at 10 brand new cars, and realizing that more than six of
这就像走进一个停车场，看着 10 辆全新的汽车，然后意识到其中有六多辆
them don't even have a tailpipe.
甚至连排气管都没有。
It shows the drivers are very quickly choosing cleaner, quieter electric options over gas -guzzling ones.
这表明驾驶员正在非常迅速地选择更清洁、更安静的电动车，而不是耗油的大户。
The future of driving is definitely electric.
驾驶的未来绝对是电动的。
It certainly is.
确实如此。
And the transition is happening much faster than anyone predicted.
而且这种转变发生得比任何人预测的都要快。
Now, speaking of futuristic technology, let us look way up into the sky.
现在，说到极具未来感的技术，让我们仰望天空。
On September 9th, our astronauts on the Shenzhou 23 mission hosted a very special science lesson
9 月 9 日，执行神舟二十三号任务的宇航员们主持了一堂非常特殊的科学课
from the Tiangong Space Station for students in Hong Kong and Macau.
在天宫空间站为香港和澳门的学生讲授。
Oh, the Tiangong classroom.
哦，天宫课堂。
Those live space lessons are always absolutely mind -blowing.
那些太空直播课程总是绝对令人震撼。
What did the astronauts show the students this time?
这次宇航员们给学生们展示了什么？
Well, astronaut Li Jiaying took the students on an exclusive tour of the space kitchen.
嗯，宇航员黎家盈带学生们进行了一次太空厨房的独家参观。
And believe it or not, they actually showed how they can bake a small cake in space.
信不信由你，他们实际上展示了如何在太空烘焙一个小蛋糕。
Wait, baking a cake in space?
等等，在太空烘焙蛋糕？
How on earth does a cake rise without gravity?
蛋糕在没有重力的情况下到底是怎么发起来的？
And do not crumbs fly everywhere and get into the computer systems?
难道碎屑不会到处乱飞并落入计算机系统吗？
You have hit on the exact scientific challenges they had to overcome, Oliver.
奥利弗，你恰好点出了他们必须克服的确切科学挑战。
In microgravity, normal baking is impossible.
在微重力环境下，正常的烘焙是不可能的。
Microgravity is the condition in which people or objects seem to be weightless because gravity
微重力是指人或物体由于重力而似乎处于失重状态的条件，
forces are extremely weak.
因为作用力极其微弱。
In this environment, liquids and crumbs float freely. Exactly.
在这种环境下，液体和碎屑会自由漂浮。一点没错。
If a single crumb floats into a delicate scientific control panel, it could cause a short circuit or
如果哪怕一粒碎屑飘进精密的科学控制面板，就可能导致短路或
damage the equipment.
损坏设备。
So how did they do it?
那么他们是如何做到的呢？
The space kitchen uses a highly specialized closed oven system.
太空厨房使用的是一种高度专业化的封闭式烤箱系统。
And the recipe utilizes sticky, moist ingredients to ensure that the cake stays together and no
而且食谱利用了具粘性且湿润的食材，以确保蛋糕成型且没有
crumbs can escape into the cabin.
碎屑能够逃逸到舱房内。
It is a beautiful combination of advanced engineering and baking science.
这是先进工程学与烘焙科学的完美结合。
That is brilliant.
真是绝妙。
I wonder if space cake is lighter and fluffier than earth cake.
我想知道太空蛋糕是否比地球上的蛋糕更轻、更蓬松。
Maybe one day we will get to try a slice of space -baked dessert.
也许有一天我们能尝到一块太空烘焙的甜点。
We can only hope.
我们只能期盼了。
Now, from the triumphs of space science, let us return to earth for a story from Heng Yang, Hunan,
现在，从太空科学的伟大成就回到地球，来看一个来自湖南衡阳的故事，
that is both incredibly dramatic and deeply moving.
这个故事既极具戏剧性，又深 深打动人心。
