CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: Hi, I`m Carl Azuz. Thank you for taking ten minutes for CNN STUDENT NEWS. For more than 80 years, "Time" magazine has named a person of the year. It started with aviator Charles Lindbergh for 1927. This year it`s not just one person, it`s all of those who`ve helped fight the Ebola virus in West Africa, the worst Ebola outbreak in recorded history.
CNN主播CARL AZUZ:嗨,我是Carl Azuz,感謝你花十分鐘收看CNN STUDENT NEWS,超過80年,《時代》(Time)雜誌會決定年度風雲人物,它是從1927年的飛行員查爾斯·林白(Charles Lindbergh)開始,今年它(年度風雲人物)不只有一個人,是所有在西非幫忙對抗歷史記載以來最嚴重的伊波拉的爆發的那些人們。

 "Time`s" managing editor says when there wasn`t much to stop Ebola`s spread with governments unprepared, some health officials dragging their feet. It was the first responders, the local doctors, the international aid organizations who stepped up to save lives and earn recognition as the people of the year.
《時代》的總編輯表示當政府對於伊波拉疫情爆發措手不及作出的努力沒有明顯的成效的時候,某些衛生官員拖拖拉拉,是第一線急救人員、當地的醫生們、國際救援組織站出來拯救性命(替自己)贏得了年度風雲人物的這樣的讚揚。

The World Health Organization says almost 18,000 Ebola cases have been diagnosed since the outbreak started. Around 6400 people have died from it, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone have been hardest hit, but they are making progress.
世界衛生組織(The World Health Organization, WHO)表示自從疫情爆發開始已經將近18,000伊波拉的病例被診斷出來,大約6400人死於它(伊波拉病毒感染),幾內亞、賴比瑞亞和獅子山疫情最為嚴重,但他們正在有所進展。

Slushed. One really accurate word being used to describe the U.S. northeast. Moisture from the Atlantic Ocean has clashed with cold air. The results: chilly, miserable rain in some places, like you are seeing here from Long Island. The New York metro area has gotten nearly three inches, a record amount of rain this week. And another spots, a winter wonderland for the moment.
在泥濘中(slushed),一個可以很精確地用來形容目前美國的東北部的詞,來自大西洋的濕氣夾帶著冷空氣衝撞(美國東北部),結果是:在某些地方的寒冷、悲慘的雨,就像你現在可以從長島這看到的,紐約都會區本週最高降雨量將近3英吋,然而其它地點,目前是冬季仙境。

The National Weather Service says the six to ten inches of snow in parts of Maine will be glazed by freezing rain throughout the rest of the week. And the coast will be battered by gusting wind. It`s like a circular water sprinkler is spiraling up through New England, and for all of it, a nor`easter is to blame.
美國國家氣象局(National Weather Service, NWS)表示在緬因州的某些地區將會因為本週接下來幾天的凍雨而被610英吋的雪覆蓋,而沿海地區將會狂風肆虐,就像是環形的灑水器螺旋上升通過新英格蘭(註一),而這一切,起因都是東北風暴。

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE影片開始)
ROB MARCIANO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: A nor`easter is a storm that typically happens in the northeast. That`s not why it`s called the nor`easter, though. The name comes from the wind, or the prevailing wind that you typically get from that sort of storm, which is out of the northeast.
CNN特派記者ROB MARCIANO:東北風暴是通常發生東北部的暴風雨,不過這並不是它被稱為東北風暴的原因,這個名字源自於通常來自東北方的可以說是暴風雨所造成的風,或是盛行季風。

And the bigger, stronger the storm, the stronger the nor`east wind is. Nor`easters are typically a weak storm that make their way across the U.S. and will get a little bit of energy from the jet stream, and then when it hits the coast, that difference in temperature between the land and the ocean, that gives them a little bit more in the way of instability and more fuel for the fire.
而暴風雨越大越強,東北風就越強,東北風暴一般是穿過美國的弱暴風雨而且(它們)將會從高速氣流中得到一點點的能量,然後當它襲擊沿海地區時,陸地和海洋的溫度差異將會讓它變的不穩定一點並,讓它的變得更強勁。

Common characteristics of a nor`easter are wind, rain, sometimes snow, definitely waves battering the coastline, and because of that you can get some beach erosion, you can get some coastal flooding. A storm surge is possible as well.
東北風暴常見的特徵有風、雨、有時候會有雪、肯定會有海浪襲擊海岸線,而因此會發生一些海灘侵蝕的情況、一些沿海洪水泛濫,風暴潮(storm surge)(註二)(的發生)也是有可能的。

So, a lot of damage can be done not only along the shoreline, but also inland in form of winds and heavy snow, sometimes nor`easters can dump several feet of snow, especially at the higher terrain.
因此,它會造成許多的破壞,不僅是沿著海岸線,還有內陸也受風和大雪影響,有時東北風暴會倒下好幾英尺的雪,特別是在地勢較高的地方。

Nor`easters typically happen anywhere really from September all the way to May. The more intense ones happen really in the fall and winter time, but spring time, you can get some nor`easters that have some devastating winds.
東北風暴通常發生在九月到五月間,比較強烈的那些其實大部分都發生在秋天和冬天的時候,但在春天時,會有一些夾帶強大的風的東北風暴。

Nor`easters and hurricanes are completely different, because they drive their energy from two completely different sources. Your hurricanes get your energy from the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and that latent heat release is what drives the engine. Once a hurricane comes on land, it loses its energy. 
東北風暴和颶風是完全不同的,因為他們的能量是兩個完全不同的來源驅動的,颶風是從大西洋的溫暖水域形成的,而且那潛熱(latent heat)(註三)的釋放就是驅動它的能源,一旦颶風來到陸地,它就會失去它的能量。

A nor`easters gets its energy from the differences between hot and cold, often a blizzard will come from a strong nor`easter, so in some cases they can be one and the same. Blinding snow and wind, winds blowing 35-40 miles an hour, and obviously, devastating cold. And that`s why the strongest nor`easters typically happen in fall and winter when you have that dynamic contrast in temperatures.
東北風暴從熱和冷之間的差異獲得能量,往往強烈的東北風暴會帶來暴風雪,所以在某些情況下它會是完全一樣的,讓人眼花繚亂的風雪,每小時時速3540英里的風,還有很明顯地,強大的寒冷,而那就是為什麼最強的東北風暴通常發生在秋天和冬天當有不斷改變的溫差時。

AZUZ: Who wrote the Declaration of Independence? That`s a question on the U.S. citizenship test. 
AZUZ:誰寫下獨立宣言(Declaration of Independence(註四)?這是美國公民考試中的一個問題。

We`ll give you some options. James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, or Ben Franklin? The answer later became our third president. It`s Thomas Jefferson.
我們會給你一些選項,詹姆斯·麥迪森、湯瑪斯·傑弗遜或是本·富蘭克林?答案是我們的第三任總統,湯瑪斯·傑弗遜。

In North Dakota, state lawmakers are considering making the citizenship test a requirement to get a high school diploma. Several other states are debating something like this. Supporters say it will be a step toward improving young American civics knowledge. Opponents say another test won`t get them more engage in U.S. history.
在北達科他州,州立法者正在考慮制定公民考試來當作拿到高中畢業文憑的要求,許多其他州都在爭論這件事,支持者表示這是向改善年輕美國公民知識前進的一步,()反對者表示另一個考試並不會讓他們更融入美國的歷史。

If the bill passes, students would have to get 60 out of 100 questions right. Including, the number of justices on the U.S. Supreme Court. Is it six, eight, nine or 12? The answer, including the Chief Justice is 9.
如果這個法案通過,學生必須在100個問題內答對60題,包括美國最高法院有多少法官,是68912?答案是包括首席大法官有9人。

If the president and vice president can no longer serve, who is next in line for the presidency? The Speaker of the House, the Secretary of State or the Defense Secretary? The answer is Speaker of the House. In the actual U.S. citizenship test, the answers are not multiple choice.
如果總統及副總統可以不能再繼續服務了,誰最有可能會是下一任總統人選?美國眾議院議長、國務秘書或國防部部長?答案是美國眾議院議長,在實際的美國公民考試,答案並不是選擇題。

[THAT’S RANDOM]
That men, Romeo and Santa Claus. They are not just popular characters, they are actual places. There is a city named Batman in Turkey, a town named Romeo in Colorado, and the Santa Claus in Arizona, Georgia and Indiana. Now, that`s random and confusing the reindeer.
那些男人們,羅密歐和聖誕老人,他們不只是受歡迎的人物,還是實際的地點,在土耳其有一個名叫蝙蝠俠的城市、在美國科羅拉多州有一個叫羅密歐的城鎮以及在亞利桑那州、佐治亞州和印地安那州的聖誕老人,現在,that’s random並擾亂麋鹿。

All right. In North Atlanta High School yesterday, I was asked if I get nervous before anchoring CNN STUDENT NEWS. I was on my very first show, but not anymore. Partly because I follow several tips for giving a successful speech. Be prepared, knowing your material, be conversational and practice, practice, practice. I`ve done it. Here`s some message your speech teachers might cover.
好吧,昨天在北亞特蘭大高中,我被問到在主持CNN STUDENT NEWS前會不會緊張,我第一詞主持的時候是(很緊張)的,但現在不是了,部份原因來自於我採用許多發表成功演說的技巧,做好準備、了解你的材料、健談一點並且練習、練習再練習,我就做到了,以下是你的演說老師可能隱藏的訊息。

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE影片開始)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Your heart rates, sweat drips and neck and back literally stiffen. Your mouth goes dry. Mark Twain once said, there are two types of speakers: those who get nervous and those who are liars. But it doesn`t have to be difficult. There are some very simple ways to become great at speaking your mind.
身分不明的男性:你的心跳、汗珠、脖子和背確實地變緊繃,你開始口乾,馬克吐溫說過,演講者有兩種:緊張的或是說謊的,但這並不困難,有一些簡單的方法能讓你好好的說出你的想法。

It blows my mind how many people are scared of public speaking. Otherwise known as glossophobia. But it`s definitely a thing. And it`s not just the panic you are feeling, but that feeling of nausea and physical distress when, fight or flight response(註五) kicks in. So, what can you do to get over it? I caught up with the speechwriting gurus from the Oratory Laboratory to find out. Why do you think people are so afraid of public speaking?
我很驚訝許多人害怕公開演說,另一種講法是公開發言恐懼症,但這確實是存在的,這不只是會感受到恐慌,而是會反胃和身體上的痛苦,當戰鬥或逃跑反應(fight or flight response)襲來。所以你該如何克服它?我找上演講實驗室的演講稿寫作專家來找出答案,你認為人們為何會如此害怕公開演說?

VICTORIA WELLMAN, CO-FOUNDER, THE ORATORY LABORATORY: People are afraid of the audience, right? That`s why they think. They walk into room and they’re like oh, everyone is looking at me, right? So, you are the hero of your story, and when you are giving a speech, you`ve got to remember, that you’re up there because people ask you to tell the story, and it`s your version only, it`s no one else`s speech. If you remember that, you are going to spend a lot less time being scared of the audience.
演講實驗室的共同創立者VICTORIA WELLMAN:人們害怕觀眾對嗎?這就是為甚麼他們這麼想,他們走進...每個人都看著我對吧?所以你是你故事的英雄,而且當你在發表演說,你要記住,你站上那裡是因為人們要求你講故事,而且這只是你的版本,並不是任何人的演說,如果你記住這點,你將會花掉更少的時間在害怕觀眾。

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So, when people are preparing for the speech, what are the best ways to kind of prepare in order to be as comfortable as possible?
身分不明的男性:所以當人們在準備演說時,盡可能的舒適的最好方法是甚麼?

NATHAN PHILLIPS, CO-FOUNDER, THE ORATORY LABORATORY: The way you prepare for a speech is the same way you should prepare for telling any great story. 
演講實驗室的共同創立者NATHAN PHILLIPS:準備發表演說的方法和準備說精采故事的方法是一樣的。

First of all, think of something that makes you excited, and enframe the speech around that, and really just think about how great it is. And then let that carry you through the process.
首先,想想讓你覺得興奮的一些事,並把演講建構在這些事上面,而且要真心覺得演講很棒,然後讓這些事帶你通過整個過程。

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (voice over): With all those tips in mind, we decided to set up on a sidewalk and face one of the toughest crowds around: New Yorkers. First, Nathan gave me a few pointers.
身分不名的男性(旁白):把全部這些技巧都記在心裡,我們決定要在人行道上實際演練,面對最艱難的群眾之:紐約人,首先,Nathan給我一些點子。

PHILLIPS: Just take what you are passionate about, right? Frame it with a little bit of a story, and then celebrate whatever it is they want to celebrate.
PHILLIPS:
就只要選你最有興趣的就好,好嗎? 用它當架構,配合一點小故事,然後讚美所有他們想讚美的,不管是甚麼。

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We got a little crowd tonight asked a few questions.
身分不名的男性:今天晚上我們有一些觀眾問了幾個問題。

PHILLIPS: Let`s get a little crowd together.
PHILLIPS:
我們來聚在一起。

UNIDENTIFIED MALE (on camera): Oh, they are cool.
身分不名的男性(在鏡頭前):噢,他們好酷喔。

PHILLIPS: How about you, folks? What`s your name?
PHILLIPS:
那你呢,朋友? 你叫什麼名字?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Jessica.
身分不名的女性:Jessica。

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Jessica. What are you doing hanging out in park? So, what are you writing about? So, what`s the secret sauce?
身分不名的男性:Jessica,你為什麼會在公園裡面閒晃呢? 你在寫些什麼呢? 秘方是什麼呢?

(voice over): And then, isn`t just a few bits of information I got, I took a shot at toasting the total stranger.
(
旁白):然後,我只得到了一點點的資訊,我試著祝頌所有的陌生人。

(on camera): And I just wanted to lift up Jessica - intellectual, genius, that has been able to come out here today and she didn`t have to spend time in the office, but she could spend time working on what she cares about, on what she loves the most. Here`s to never being scared to doing what you always wanted to do. Here`s to Jessica.
(
在鏡頭前):而我只想要鼓勵Jessica,聰明、有才能,能夠出來這裡,而不需要花時間在辦公室裡,但是她可以花時間在她在乎、在她最喜歡的事情上,這就是千萬別害怕去做你想要做的事,這些是給Jessica的。

(APPLAUSE掌聲)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If you work at it and you have the confidence and believe in yourself, you can be a champion as well.
身分不名的男性:如果你照著做,而且你有自信、相信你自己,你也能很厲害。

[ROLL CALL](skipped)

The plural of mongoose is mongooses. Why am I telling you this? Well, it`s not just one mongoose that`s diving into this ball pit. It`s a business of mongooses. And they didn`t just randomly take over. Workers at the Houston Zoo filled up a kitty pool with plastic balls to let the mongooses play, dig and generally have a ball, get it? Digging is part of their normal behavior, playing just adds to the fun, watching lets us see how cute they are.
貓鼬(mongoose)的複數是mongooses,為什麼我要告訴你這個? 因為不只一隻貓鼬跳進這個球坑裡,這是貓鼬的事業,而且牠們不只是隨機的占領,休士頓動物園的員工用塑膠球填滿整個小池子,讓貓鼬們玩、挖並且過得快樂【雙關-1】,懂了嗎? 挖是牠們正常行為的一部分,玩只是增加趣味,我們來看看牠們有多可愛。
You can tell they really dig it. They can ferret out some fun, when let loose, the goose’s induced (ph) boost loosed up one goosed up run and help me goose up some puns.
I`m Carl Agoose for CNN STUDENT NEWS.
你能看出牠們真的在挖,牠們可以搜出一些樂趣,當釋放時,鵝,我是CNN STUDENT NEWSCarl Azuz.
