Now, Thomas, what is on our radar this morning?
那么，托马斯，今天早上我们的关注焦点是什么？
Our lineup today is packed, Zoe.
佐伊，我们今天的节目单安排得满满当当。
First, we are looking at a historic shift in the world of artificial intelligence and music as a
首先，我们来看看人工智能和音乐界的一个历史性转变，
major AI platform decides to play by the rules.
因为一家主要的 AI 平台决定按规则办事。
Then we celebrate a legendary science fiction franchise that is marking 60 years of exploring the universe.
然后，我们致敬一个传奇的科幻系列作品，它正迎来探索宇宙 60 周年。
Oh, 60 years.
哦，60 年了。
That is amazing.
那真是太棒了。
What else do we have?
我们还有什么其他内容？
After that, we travel to France, where a high -profile art heist has left police searching for some
之后，我们将前往法国，那里发生了一起备受瞩目的艺术品抢劫案，警方正在搜寻一些
very famous paintings.
非常著名的画作。
And finally, we'll visit sunny Malibu, California, where nature decided to open a massive sinkhole
最后，我们将前往阳光明媚的加利福尼亚州马里布，大自然在那里制造了一个巨大的天坑，
right next to a famous actor's home. Wow.
就在一位著名演员的家旁边。哇。
From artificial intelligence to classic sci -fi, an art museum mystery, and coastal chaos.
从人工智能到经典科幻，从美术馆谜案到海岸混乱。
That is an incredible mix of stories.
这真是难以置信的精彩故事组合。
I am so ready for this.
我已经完全准备好听了。
Let us get started. Excellent.
让我们开始吧。太棒了。
Let us begin with our lead story.
让我们从我们的头条新闻开始。
Suno, one of the biggest names in generative AI music, has made a massive announcement.
Suno 作为生成式 AI 音乐巨头之一，发布了一项重大声明。
They have completely replaced their existing artificial intelligence models with a brand new one
他们已经完全替换了现有的 AI 模型，取而代之的是一个全新模型，
that is trained entirely on licensed music.
该模型完全是基于获得授权的音乐进行训练的。
Wait a minute, Thomas.
等一下，托马斯。
Trained on licensed music.
基于获得授权的音乐进行训练。
Can you break that down for us?
你能给我们解释一下吗？
What exactly does that mean, and why is it such a big deal?
这究竟是什么意思，为什么这是一件大事？
To understand why this is a big deal, we have to look at how these AI systems learn.
要理解为什么这是一件大事，我们必须看看这些 AI 系统是如何学习的。
Previously, many generative AI companies trained their models by scraping the internet.
此前，许多生成式 AI 公司通过抓取网络数据来训练其模型。
This means they fed their computer programs millions of songs created by human artists without
这意味着他们在未得到允许的情况下，向计算机程序输入了由人类艺术家创作的数百万首歌曲，且未
asking for permission or paying any fees.
请求许可或支付任何费用。
Ah, I see.
啊，我明白了。
So it's like a student reading thousands of books in a library to learn how to write, but in this
所以这就像一个学生在图书馆读了几千本书来学习写作，但在这种
case, the student took photocopies of all those books without paying the authors, and now the
情况下，这个学生制作了所有这些书的复印件却没有向作者付费，而现在
authors are very angry.
作者们非常愤怒。
That is a perfect metaphor, Zoe.
这是一个完美的隐喻，佐伊。
Major record labels like Universal, Sony, and Warner Music were indeed very angry.
环球、索尼和华纳音乐等主要唱片公司确实非常愤怒。
They filed massive copyright lawsuits against Suno, claiming the company stole their music to train
他们对 Suno 提起了大规模的版权诉讼，声称该公司盗取了他们的音乐用于训练
its commercial AI.
其商业人工智能。
So, to survive, Suno decided to change its strategy.
因此，为了生存，Suno 决定改变其策略。
They partnered with major music publishers like Warner Music and BMG.
他们与华纳音乐和 BMG 等大型音乐出版商合作。
Now, they only train their AI on songs they have legal permission or a license to use.
现在，他们只使用拥有合法许可或授权的歌曲来训练其人工智能。
That sounds like a much fairer way of doing things.
这听起来是一种要公平得多的做事方式。
But I wonder, does this mean the AI -generated music will sound worse now that they have a smaller
但我很好奇，这意味着由于可供学习的歌曲范围变小，AI生成的音乐听起来会变差吗
pool of songs to learn from?
可供学习的歌曲库？
Actually, early reviews say the music quality is still incredibly high.
事实上，早期的评价表示音乐质量依然极其高。
But more importantly, this represents a huge shift in the AI industry.
但更重要的是，这代表了人工智能行业的一个巨大转变。
It shows that the era of the Wild West, where AI companies could just take whatever data they
这表明 AI 公司可以随意获取所需数据的“蛮荒时代”
wanted, might be coming to an end.
可能即将走向终结。
They're moving toward a legal, collaborative model that respects intellectual property.
他们正在转向一种尊重知识产权的合法协作模式。
Intellectual property.
知识产权。
We hear that term a lot.
我们经常听到那个术语。
Can you give us a quick definition of that?
你能给我们快速下个定义吗？
Of course.
当然可以。
Intellectual property, or IP, refers to creations of the human mind that are protected by law, such
知识产权（IP）是指受法律保护的人类智慧结晶，例如
as music, literature, symbols, names, and images.
音乐、文学、符号、名称和图像。
IP law ensures that the people who invent or create things can earn recognition and financial
知识产权法确保发明或创造事物的人能够从中获得认可和经济
benefit from their work.
收益。
Got it.
明白了。
So by using licensed music, Suno is finally paying the creators for their intellectual property.
因此，通过使用获得授权的音乐，Suno 终于向创作者支付了知识产权费用。
That is a massive step forward for artists who have been worried about AI taking their jobs and
对于那些一直担心 AI 抢走自己工作的艺术家来说，这是一个巨大的进步，
their music without permission.
以及未经许可使用其音乐的问题。
It absolutely is.
确实绝对如此。
Now, speaking of incredible human creativity and imagination, let us turn to our next story.
现在，说到人类难以置信的创造力和想象力，让我们转到下一个故事。
One of the most famous and influential science fiction franchises in history, Star Trek, is
作为历史上一款最著名且最有影响力的科幻系列作品，《星际迷航》正
celebrating its 60th anniversary.
在庆祝其 60 周年纪念。
60 years!
60 年了！
That is unbelievable!
这简直不可思议！
Live long and prosper indeed.
生生不息，繁荣昌盛。
I know Star Trek has a huge following.
我知道《星际迷航》拥有庞大的粉丝群体。
My parents watched it, my older brother watches it, and even kids today know what a Vulcan salute is.
我的父母看 过，我的哥哥在看，甚至今天的孩子都知道什么是瓦肯举手礼。
Yes, it has a wonderfully diverse intergenerational fan base.
是的，它拥有极其多元化的跨世代粉丝群体。
And to mark this special 60 -year milestone, an astronaut currently living aboard the International
为了纪念这一特别的 60 年里程碑，一位目前居住在国际
Space Station sent down a special tribute to honor the franchise.
空间站的宇航员发回了一份特别的致敬，以向这一系列作品致敬。
Now that is what I call a tribute.
这才是我所说的致敬。
A real astronaut in actual space, celebrating a show about fictional space travel.
一位身处真实太空的宇航员，在庆祝一部关于虚构太空旅行的剧集。
It does not get much better than that.
没有什么比这更好的了。
Why do you think Star Trek has lasted so long, Thomas?
托马斯，你认为为什么《星际迷航》能够经久不衰？
Well, many scientists and astronauts often talk about how Star Trek inspired them to pursue their careers.
嗯，许多科学家和宇航员经常谈到《星际迷航》是如何激励他们追求事业的。
The show has always offered a highly optimistic vision of the future.
这部剧集总是展现出对未来高度乐观的远景。
It depicts the future where humanity has solved its major problems on Earth, like poverty,
它描绘了人类解决了地球上主要问题的未来，比如贫困、
prejudice, and conflict, and has united to explore the galaxy together.
偏见和冲突，并团结一致共同探索银河系。
That is so true.
确实是这样。
In a world where the future can sometimes look a bit dark or uncertain, Star Trek gives us hope.
在这个未来有时看起来有点黑暗或不确定的世界里，《星际迷航》给了我们希望。
It reminds us of what we can achieve when we work together. Exactly.
它提醒我们，当我们携手合作时能实现什么。完全正确。
It shows that great science fiction is not just about cool spaceships and alien battles.
这表明，伟大的科幻作品不仅仅关乎酷炫的飞船和外星战斗。
It is a mirror that helps us look at our own society, our ethics, and our shared humanity.
它是一面镜子，帮助我们审视自己的社会、我们的伦理道德以及我们共同的人性。
Beautifully said, Thomas.
说得太精彩了，托马斯。
It is amazing how a television show from 60 years ago still shapes our dreams of space today.
令人惊叹的是，一部60年前的电视节目至今仍在塑造着我们对太空的梦想。
It truly is.
确实如此。
Now, let's switch gears and head over to France for a story that sounds like it came straight out of
现在，让我们转换话题，前往法国听一个听起来像是直接源自
a mystery novel.
一部悬疑小说的故事。
Thieves have broken into a French museum and stolen four paintings by the legendary Impressionist
窃贼潜入 了一家法国博物馆，偷走了由传奇印象派
master Pierre -Auguste Renoir.
大师皮埃尔-奥古斯特·雷诺阿创作的四幅画作。
Oh, no!
哦，不！
Renoir is one of the most famous painters in history.
雷诺阿是历史上最著名的画家之一。
His works are worth millions of dollars.
他的作品价值数百万美元。
Have the police caught the thieves yet?
警方抓到小偷了吗？
Well, they have made some progress.
嗯，他们取得了一些进展。
The French police managed to recover two of the paintings, but the other two are still missing.
法国警方成功找回了其中两幅画，但另外两幅仍然下落不明。
The authorities are currently conducting a massive investigation and searching for the suspects.
当局目前正在展开大规模调查并搜捕嫌疑人。
This is terrible.
这太糟糕了。
But, Thomas, I always wonder about this.
但是，托马斯，我一直对此感到纳闷。
How do thieves expect to get away with stealing such famous paintings?
小偷怎么指望偷了这么著名的画作还能侥幸逃脱呢？
You can't just put a Renoir on an online auction site or sell it to a local antique shop.
你不能直接把雷诺阿的作品挂在在线拍卖网站上，或者卖给当地的古董店。
Everyone would instantly know it was stolen.
每个人都会立刻知道那是偷来的。
That is a very logical question, Zoe.
这是一个非常合乎逻辑的问题，佐伊。
In reality, selling famous stolen art is almost impossible.
在现实中，出售著名的被盗艺术品几乎是不可能的。
Criminals rarely steal these paintings to sell them to legitimate collectors.
罪犯很少偷窃这些画作来卖给合法的收藏家。
Instead, they often try to sell them on the black market to wealthy, unethical buyers, or they use
相反，他们往往尝试在黑市上卖给富有但不道德的买家，或者使用
them as collateral in other illegal activities.
它们作为其他非法活动中的抵押品。
Ah, collateral.
啊，抵押品。
I know that word from banking, but how does it work for criminals?
我在银行业听说过这个词，但它在犯罪分子那里是怎么运作的呢？
In simple terms, collateral is something valuable that you promise to give to a lender if you can't
简单来说，抵押品是指当你无法偿还时，承诺给贷款人的有价值的物品，如果你不能
pay back a loan.
偿还贷款的话。
It acts as a guarantee.
它起到了担保的作用。
In the criminal world, stolen art is sometimes used as a form of guarantee or currency between
在犯罪世界里，被盗艺术品有时被用作一种担保形式或互相交易的货币
gangs, because it is extremely valuable, light to carry, and easy to hide.
在帮派之间，因为它极其昂贵，轻便易携且容易藏匿。
That makes sense, although it is deeply saddening.
这很有道理，尽管这让人感到非常悲伤。
Art should be in museums where everyone can appreciate its beauty, not locked away in some dark
艺术应该存在于人人都能欣赏其美丽的博物馆里，而不是被锁在某个阴暗的
basement as criminal collateral.
地下室里作为犯罪抵押品。
I hope they find the remaining two paintings soon.
我希望他们能很快找到剩下的两幅画。
We all do.
我们大家都这么希望。
Now, for our final story, we are going to sunny Malibu, California, where nature has put on a
现在来到我们的最后一个故事，我们要前往阳光明媚的加州马里布，大自然在那里上演了
dramatic and frightening display.
一场戏剧性且令人恐惧的奇观。
A massive, expanding sinkhole has opened up on a beachfront property linked to Hollywood star
一个巨大且不断扩大的天 坑出现在与好莱坞明星关联的海滨房产上
Nicolas Cage.
尼古拉斯·凯奇。
A sinkhole?
一个天坑？
Nicolas Cage is known for starring in high -action, chaotic movies, but this is a bit too much real
尼古拉斯·凯奇以主演动作火爆、混乱刺激的电影而闻名，但这有点太真实了
-life drama.
-现实生活中的戏剧。
What exactly is a sinkhole, and how does it happen?
究竟什么是天坑，它又是如何发生的？
A sinkhole is a hole in the ground that forms when the physical structure under the surface is
天坑是指当地表下方的物理结构在地表下被
washed away.
被冲刷掉时在地面形成的孔洞。
In coastal areas like Malibu, powerful ocean waves and heavy surf constantly beat against the cliffs.
在像马里布这样的沿海地区，强烈的海浪和巨浪不断拍打着悬崖。
Over time, the water erodes or wears away the dirt and rock beneath the surface.
随着时间的推移，水会侵蚀或磨损地表下方的泥土和岩石。
Eventually, the ground on top has no support left, and it suddenly collapses.
最终，顶部的地面失去了支撑，突然塌陷了。
Ah, so it is like a hollow chocolate egg.
啊，所以它就像一个空心的巧克力蛋。
It looks solid on the outside, but if you press on it, the shell just collapses because there's
它表面看起来很坚固，但如果你按压它，外壳就会塌下去，因为
nothing supporting it from the inside.
内部没有任何东西支撑它。
That is a fantastic description, Zoe.
这个比喻太精彩了，佐伊。
That is exactly what happened here.
这正好就是这里发生的情况。
The ocean waves eroded the cliffside under the mansion's driveway, causing it to collapse completely
海浪侵蚀了豪宅车道下方的悬崖，导致其完全坍塌
into the sea.

The sinkhole is still growing, and local authorities have actually red -tagged more than 30
这个天坑还在不断扩大，地方当局实际上已经给30多处
properties in the area due to these hazardous coastal conditions.
该地区的房产贴上了红牌，原因是这些危险的海岸条件。
Red -tagged?
贴上红标签？
Does that mean people had to leave their homes?
这意味着人们不得不离开家园吗？
Yes, it does.
是的，确实如此。
When a property is red -tagged, it means government inspectors have declared the building officially
当房屋被贴上红牌时，意味着政府检查员已经官方宣布该建筑
unsafe to enter or live in because of structural damage or natural hazards.
由于结构受损或自然灾害，进入或居住是不安全的。
The residents had to pack up and evacuate immediately.
居民们不得不打包行李并立 即撤离。
How scary.
真是太可怕了。
It is a powerful reminder that no matter how rich or famous you are, you cannot negotiate with
这是一个强有力的提醒：无论你多么富有或出名，你都无法与之谈判——
nature and coastal erosion.
即大自然和海岸侵蚀。
I truly hope everyone in that Malibu community stays safe. Absolutely.
我真心希望马里布社区的每个人都平安无事。那是绝对的。
Nature always has the final word.
大自然总是拥有最终的话语权。
Well, that brings us to the end of our stories for this morning.
