The sea off the coast of East Greenland used to be covered in ice year-round. Now, as it warms and melts completely in the summer, the waters have opened up to new visitors – some of the world's largest whales and the fish that they feed on. 东格陵兰沿岸海域过去全年都被海冰覆盖。现在，随着海水变暖，海冰会在夏季完全融化，这片水域也因此迎来新的 “访客”，包括世界上一些体型最大的鲸类及其捕食的鱼类。
The scientists combined aerial surveys, satellite tagging and observations from local Inuit communities to track them. And the change has been dramatic. 科学家通过结合航空调查、卫星标签定位以及当地因纽特社区的观测，对这些鲸类展开追踪。而其变化十分显著。
Surveys didn't record a single humpback whale sighting in the region until 2006. In 2007, seven humpbacks were seen. And, by 2024, there were 150 sightings of the giant whales from ships. Now, fin whales, humpbacks and minke whales come to East Greenland in their thousands to feed. 直到 2006 年，相关调查才首次在该地区记录到座头鲸的目击报告。2007 年，有七头座头鲸被目击。而到了 2024 年，船只目击这种巨型鲸类的记录已达 150 次。如今，成千上万的长须鲸、座头鲸和小须鲸会汇聚到东格陵兰觅食。
The researchers say this is a huge climate-driven shift, with some easily adapting, while other Arctic species, including belugas, narwhals and walruses, all of which need the ice to hide from predators or to breed, are being edged out. 研究人员表示，这是一次由气候变化驱动的巨大转变。一些物种能够轻松适应，而另一些极地物种，包括白鲸、独角鲸和海象，因需要依赖海冰躲避天敌或繁育后代，正逐渐失去生存空间。

When news spread late last year that the Fermilab National AcceleratorLaboratoryin suburban Chicago was part of a project achieving quantum teleportation, it conjured up scenes from the classic science fiction franchise Star Trek in which the show's characters could beam from one location to another. 去年年底，当有消息传出芝加哥郊外的费米国家加速器实验室参与了一个实现量子隐形传态的项目时，这不禁让人联想到经典科幻系列《星际迷航》中的场景——剧中角色可以从一个地点瞬间传送到另一个地点。

January 28th, 1986, before a television audience, seven passengers aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger took flight from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 1986年1月28日，在电视观众面前，挑战者号航天飞机上的七名乘客从佛罗里达州的肯尼迪航天中心起飞。
Scientists say the developing El Niño is already the strongest ever recorded, with sea temperatures in a key region of the Pacific more than three degrees above average, and this event is not expected to peak until later this year. 科学家表示，目前正在形成的厄尔尼诺现象已达到有记录以来最强水平，太平洋一个关键海域的海水温度比平均水平高出三度以上，而此次厄尔尼诺预计要到今年晚些时候才会达到峰值。
The Sun has set, and you're headed to a train station in Stockholm with your overnight bag. You board the sleeper train, change into your comfortable clothes, enjoy the scenery through the window for a while before laying your head down to rest. Snoring from the other passengers in your shared cabin delays your bedtime, but the gentle motion and white noise eventually send you to sleep. The next morning, just over 12 hours later, you wake up in Germany's second largest city, Hamburg. "It still sounds like a long time, but you go to sleep, and it's such a nice atmosphere on the train," says Julia Senninger, a fan of sleeper trains. 太阳已经落山，您带着过夜行李前往斯德哥尔摩的火车站。 登上卧铺列车，换上舒适的衣服，欣赏一下窗外的风景，然后就低头休息。 共用客舱内其他乘客的鼾声会延迟您的就寝时间，但轻柔的动作和白噪音最终会让您入睡。 第二天早上，12 个多小时后，您在德国第二大城市汉堡醒来。 “听起来还是很长一段时间，但你很快就睡着了，火车上的气氛真好，”卧铺火车的粉丝朱莉娅·森宁格 (Julia Senninger) 说道。
