theme, and a very practical tip on why walking away from arguments is actually a mental health superpower.
主题，以及关于为什么远离争论实际上是一种心理健康超能力的非常实用的建议。
Let us jump right in.
让我们直接切入主题。
Let us start with our main travel story.
让我们从我们的主要旅游故事开始。
Many smart travelers have cracked the holiday code this year by utilizing a clever leave -combining strategy.
今年许多聪明的旅行者通过利用巧妙的拼假策略破解了假期密码。
By taking just three days of paid leave right before or after the official holiday, they managed to
仅在官方假期的前或后休三天带薪假，他们设法
stitch together a massive 13 -day vacation.
拼凑出一个巨大的长达13天的假期。
Wait, taking three days off to get a 13 -day vacation?
等等，请假三天就能换来13天的假期？
That is pure genius.
这简直是纯粹的天才之举。
That is not just a holiday.
这不仅仅是一个假期。
That is practically a mini -sabbatical.
这简直是一个迷你的学术休假。
Where are all these long -distance travelers heading?
所有这些远程旅行者都前往哪里？
Well, everywhere.
嗯，到处都是。
Data shows Chinese tourists are making a massive splash globally.
数据显示中国游客正在全球掀起巨大波澜。
In Australia, scenic spots are absolutely packed with Chinese visitors, so much so that some
在澳大利亚，风景名胜区挤满了中国游客，以至于一些
tourists joked they could not tell if they were in Sydney or Shanghai.
游客开玩笑说他们分不清自己是在悉尼还是在上海。
Meanwhile, other travelers are taking scenic sleeper train journeys through Switzerland or visiting
与此同时，其他游客正乘风景优美的卧铺旅程穿过瑞士或参观
the snowy landscapes of Shui -Shang in Heilongjiang, which just welcomed its very first autumn snowfall. Wow.
黑龙江省水上的雪景景观，它刚刚迎来了它的第一场秋雪。哇。
First snow in October?
十月的初雪？
That sounds absolutely magical.
听起来绝对很神奇。
But, Emma, I also heard some surprising news for last -minute travelers.
但是，艾玛，我还听到了一些针对临时旅客的令人惊讶的消息。
Ticket prices for flights have actually taken a massive dive.
机票价格实际上出现了大幅下跌。
Yes, they have.
是的，确实如此。
According to platform data, flight ticket prices on several major routes have plunged by up to 50 %
根据平台数据，几条主要航线的机票价格暴跌了多达50%
mid -holiday.
在假期中段。
For example, flights from Beijing to Kunming have dropped to around 800 yuan. Plunged.
例如，从北京到昆明的航班已经降至800元左右。暴跌。
Now, that is a dramatic word.
现在，这是一个戏剧性的词。
What does it mean when prices plunge?
当价格暴跌时，这意味着什么？
And why does it happen right in the middle of a peak travel season?
为什么它会发生在旅游旺季的正中间呢？
To plunge means to fall suddenly and very quickly.
暴跌意味着突然且非常快地下降。
In this case, airlines use highly sophisticated dynamic pricing algorithms.
在这种情况下，航空公司使用了高度复杂的动态定价算法。
If they see that certain flights are not fully booked as the departure date approaches, the computer
如果他们发现某些航班在出发日期临近时没有被完全预订，计算机
automatically slashes the prices to fill the empty seats.
会自动大幅削减价格以填满空座位。
It is basically a game of supply and demand.
这基本上是一场供求关系的游戏。
Ah, I see.
啊，我明白了。
It is like a baker selling fresh bread.
这就像一个面包师在卖新鲜面包。
If it is late afternoon and they still have loaves left on the shelf, they would rather sell them at
如果已经是下午晚些时候，他们架子上还剩有面包，他们宁愿将其
half price than let them go to waste.
半价出售，也不愿让它们浪费掉。
A great tip for budget -conscious travelers. Exactly.
对于精打细算的旅客来说，这是一个好建议。没错。
Now, speaking of travel, if you are driving an electric vehicle or EV on the highway this week, you
现在，说到旅行，如果你这周在高速公路上驾驶电动汽车或EV，你
might be facing a very different kind of adventure.
可能会面临一种非常不同的冒险。
There have been reports of massive queues at highway service stations, with some drivers waiting
有报道称，高速公路服务区出现了大规模的排队现象，一些司机在等待
over five hours and getting tickets like number 99 just to plug in their cars.
五个多小时，拿到诸如99号这样的排队小票，只为了给他们的汽车充电。
Five hours?
五个小时？
That is absolutely painful.
这绝对是令人痛苦的。
You could almost drive to your destination in that time.
在这个时间内，你几乎可以开车到达你的目的地了。
Why is the wait so long and what are charging stations doing to solve it?
为什么等待时间这么长，充电站正在采取什么措施来解决它？
Well, one major highway service station in Hubei introduced a strict new rule.
嗯，湖北的一个主要高速公路服务区引入了一项严格的新规定。
Once your EV hits 80 % charge, you must leave the station immediately.
一旦你的电动汽车电量达到80%，你必须立即离开充电站。
Wait, why cut them off at 80 %?
等等，为什么要将他们切断在80%？
Why not let them charge to a full 100 %?
为什么不让他们充满到完全的100%呢？
That seems a bit unfair to drivers who want a full battery.
对于想要充满电池的司机来说，这显得有点不公平。
This comes down to a technical concept known as the charging curve.
这归结为一个被称为充电曲线的技术概念。
As a lithium -ion battery fills up, the speed of electricity flowing into it slows down dramatically
随着锂离子电池充满，电流流入的速度会急剧放缓
after it reaches 80%.
在它达到80%之后。
In fact, charging a battery from 80 % to 100 % can take almost as long as charging it from 0 % to 80%.
事实上，将电池从80%充到100%所需的时间，几乎和从0%充到80%一样长。
Ah, interesting.
啊，真有趣。
Emma, could you give us a metaphor for that?
艾玛，你能给我们打个比方吗？
It sounds a bit like packing a suitcase.
这听起来有点像收拾行李箱。
Yes, that is a perfect metaphor, Daniel.
是的，这是一个完美的比喻，丹尼尔。
Imagine you are packing a suitcase.
设想你正在收拾一个行李箱。
At first, when the suitcase is empty, you can easily throw your clothes in very quickly.
起初，当行李箱空着时，你可以轻而易举地把衣服很快扔进去。
But when the suitcase is 80 % full, you have to slow down, fold things meticulously, and squeeze them
但是当行李箱满了80%时，你必须慢下来，一 丝不苟地折叠物品，并把它们
into the remaining tiny corners.
塞进剩下的微小角落里。
It takes much more time and effort to pack that last 20%.
打包最后那20%需要更多的时间和精力。
Brilliant explanation.
精彩的解释。
So by stopping at 80%, the station is maximizing the throughput, letting more cars get back on the
因此，通过在80%时停下，充电站最大化了吞吐量，让更多汽车回到
road quickly instead of letting one car hog the charger for an hour just to get those last few
路上，而不是让一辆车独占充电桩一个小时，只为了充满最后那点
percentage points. Precisely.
百分点。确切如此。
And to help with the extreme demand, Hanan Province has just launched its very first mobile energy
为了满足极高的需求，海南省刚刚推出了首个移动能源
storage charging cabin.
储充舱。
These are essentially giant heavy -duty power banks on wheels that can be parked wherever the holiday
这些本质上是带轮子的巨型重型充电宝，可以停放在任何假期的
traffic is heaviest to provide extra charging plugs.
交通最拥堵的地方，以提供额外的充电插头。
A giant mobile power bank for cars?
汽车专用的巨型移动充电宝？
That is incredibly smart.
这真的非常聪明。
It is like having a food truck bring hot meals directly to hungry people instead of making them wait
这就像让餐车把热腾腾的饭菜直接送到饥饿的人手中，而不是让他们等待
in a massive restaurant queue.
在庞大的餐馆排队队伍中。
Technology to the rescue.
科技来救援。
It really is.
确实如此。
Now, let us switch gears and talk about a fascinating controversy in the e -commerce fashion world.
现在，让我们转换话题，聊聊电商时尚界一个令人着迷的争议。
Recently, many online clothing retailers have started attaching massive 2 .4 -meter -long disposable
最近，许多在线服装零售商开始在服装上附加长达2.4米的巨型一次性
security ribbons to their garments.
安全丝 带到他们的服装上。
And they explicitly state, if you remove this ribbon, you cannot return or exchange the item.
并且他们明确声明，如果你取下这条丝带，你就不能退换该商品。
2 .4 meters of ribbon?
2.4米长的丝带？
That is almost 8 feet long.
这几乎有8英尺长。
You would look like a walking mummy if you tried to wear that out.
如果你试图把它穿出门，你看上去就像一个会走路的木乃伊。
Why on earth are shops doing this?
商店究竟为什么要这样做？
They are doing it to combat a major retail headache known as wardrobing, or cheng chuan in Chinese. Wardrobing?
他们这样做是为了打击一个被称为“wardrobing”（中文里的蹭穿）的主要零售业头痛问题。Wardrobing？
Emma, that sounds like a term our English learners would love to know.
埃玛，听起来这是个我们的英语学习者会很想知道的术语。
What does it actually mean?
它实际上是什么意思？
Wardroming is a type of return fraud.
蹭穿是一种退货欺诈行为。
It is when a customer buys an expensive item, like a designer dress, wears it to a party or photo
这是指顾客购买了一件昂贵的商品，比如设计师设计的裙子，穿着它去参加派对或拍照
shoot with the tags carefully tucked away, and then returns it to the store for a full refund the
拍摄时把吊签小心翼翼地藏好，然后在第二天将它退回商店以获得全额退款。
next day.
第二天。
Ah, so they get a free outfit for the night, while the merchant is left with a used item they cannot
啊，所以他们当晚能免费穿一套衣服，而商家却只能留下他们无法当作新品出售的旧商品。
sell as new.
当作新品出售。
That is really unfair to the sellers. Exactly.
这对卖家来说真的很不公平。确实如此。
So these giant bright ribbons are designed to be impossible to hide.
因此，这些巨大的亮色丝带设计成让人无法隐藏的样子。
If a customer tries to wear the dress out, everyone will see this massive ribbon dangling from them.
如果顾客试图把裙子穿出去，每个人都会看到这条巨大的丝带从他们身上垂挂下来。
However, consumer protection agencies have warned that while merchants have a right to protect
然而，消费者保护机构警告称，虽然商家有权保护自己，但他们必须确保
themselves, they must make sure these rules do not unfairly restrict honest consumers who just want
他们必须确保这些规则不会不公平地限制那些只想试穿衣服尺码的诚实消费者。
to try the clothes on for size. True.
试穿衣服的尺码。没错。
It is a delicate balance between stopping scammers and keeping genuine customers happy.
这是阻止骗子和保持真正客户满意之间的一种微妙平衡。
Now, Emma, speaking of genuine and good people, we have a heartwarming story about a famous Chinese
好了，埃玛，说到真诚善良的人，我们有一个关于一位中国著名演员张涛的暖心故事。
actor named Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao immediately dove in, kept her calm, and helped the guide rescue her.

That is amazing.
