So what are the key highlights we will be discussing in today's broadcast?
那么在今天的广播中，我们将讨论哪些关键亮点呢？
Well, we start with a major transformation in the education sector.
首先，让我们从教育领域的重大变革开始。
China is rolling out some massive curriculum updates, from implementing a physical activity routine
中国正在推行一些重大的课程更新，从实施体育活动日常安排
called 2115 to pushing for weekly out -of -school practical learning.
（即所谓的 2115）到推动每周校外实践学习。
We will also look at how universities are dealing with the rise of artificial intelligence, and what

An essential topic for students and parents alike.

接下来，我们将揭穿一些常见的健康误区。
We will discuss why a woman who ate a strict vegetarian diet for three years almost became

paralyzed, and look into whether foods labeled zero additives are actually as healthy as they seem.
瘫痪，并调查标有“零添加”的食品是否真的像看起来那样健康。
Then we will move to our lifestyle and tech brief.
然后我们将转到生活方式和科技简讯。
We will talk about Apple's latest hardware release, look at a very unusual but popular trend where
我们将谈论苹果公司最新的硬件发布，探讨一种非常不寻常但流行的趋势，即
young people pay for lifestyle surrogates to handle their daily chores, and discuss the massive

queuing culture for fresh short shelf life snacks.
鲜食短保质期零食的排队文化。
And finally, we will wrap up with some exciting sports updates from the Asian Games, a quick look at
最后，我们将以亚运会的一些激动人心的体育动态作为总结，快速浏览一下

即将到来的众星云集的中秋晚会，以及一个轻松幽默的故事，关于两只
puppies that teaches us an excellent lesson about focus and action.
小狗的故事，给我们带来了关于专注与行动的极佳教训。
What a fantastic lineup.
多么精彩的阵容啊。
Let us start with our first major story.
让我们从我们的第一个重大新闻开始。
The Ministry of Education has recently announced a series of massive updates for the upcoming school terms.
教育部最近宣布了针对即将到来的新学期的一系列重大更新。
One phrase that is catching everyone's attention is the 2115 curriculum structure.
引起大家注意的一个词是 2115 课程结构。
Daniel, could you explain what on earth 2115 stands for?
丹尼尔，你能解释一下 2115 究竟代表什么吗？
It sounds like a secret code, doesn't it?
这听起来像是一个秘密代码，不是吗？
But it is actually a very healthy initiative.
但这实际上是一个非常健康的倡议。
The numbers represent physical activity targets for students.
这些数字代表学生的体育活动目标。
The first two stands for two hours of outdoor physical activity every single day.
第一个“2”代表每天两小时的 户外体育活动。
The first one represents one hour of physical education class daily.
第一个“1”代表每天一小时的体育课。
And the 15 at the end stands for 15 minutes of physical exercise during school recess, which is the
结尾的“15”代表课间休息时间的 15 分钟体育锻炼，即
break time between classes.
课间的休息时间。
Oh, that makes so much sense.
哦，那太有道理了。
So instead of just sitting at their desks all day studying for exams, kids are being encouraged to
因此，孩子们不再是整天坐在课桌前为考试而学习，而是被鼓励去
move, play, and get some fresh air.
运动、玩耍并呼吸一些新鲜空气。
That is an excellent way to combat nearsightedness and improve general physical health. Indeed.
这是对抗近视和改善总体身体健康的好方法。确实如此。
In addition to this, the ministry announced that schools nationwide will soon implement a policy
除此之外，教育部还宣布全国各地的学校很快将实施一项政策
requiring at least half a day of out -of -school practical learning every week.
要求每周至少有半天的校外实践学习。
This means students will regularly visit museums, science centers, or nature reserves to learn
这意味着学生将定期参观博物馆、科学中心或自然保护区去学习
through hands -on experience, rather than just reading from textbooks.
通过亲身体验，而不是仅仅阅读教科书。
That sounds incredibly fun.
那听起来极其有趣。
I wish they had that policy when I was in school.
我希望我上学的时候就有 那项政策。
It really shows a shift toward holistic education, which means developing the whole person, not just
这确实表明教育正转向整体教育，这意味着培养一个完整的人，而不仅仅是
their academic test scores. Exactly.
他们的学业考试成绩。确实如此。
And this shift is happening at a time when the sheer scale of education in China is larger than ever.
而这种转变发生的背景是，中国教育的庞大规模比以往任何时候都更大。
According to the latest data, China now has over 270 million people who have received higher education.
根据最新数据，中国目前有超过2.7亿接受过高等教育的人口。
Furthermore, over the next four years, undergraduate enrollment at double first -class universities
此外，在未来四年里，“双一流”高校的本科招生人数
is projected to expand by 76 ,000 slots.
预计将增加7.6万个名额。
Wait, let me pause you there, Daniel.
等等，丹尼尔，让我打断你一下。
For our global listeners who might not be familiar with the Chinese educational system, what exactly
对于可能不太熟悉中国教育体制的全球听众来说，究竟
does double first -class mean?
“双一流”到底意味着什么？
Ah, excellent question.
啊，问得太棒了。
Double first -class is a prestigious national educational initiative.
“双一流”是一项享誉全国的国家教育倡议。
Think of it as a quality label for elite universities and academic departments in China, similar to
可以把它看作是中国精英大学和学科专业的一种质量标签，类似于
the Ivy League in the United States, or the Russell Group in the United Kingdom.
美国的常春藤盟校，或是英国的罗素大学集团。
It is designed to cultivate world -class institutions and researchers.
它旨在培养世界一流的机构和研究人员。
Got it.
明白了。
So expanding enrollment means more young people will have access to top -tier, world -class higher education.
因此，扩大招生意味着更多的年轻人将有机会接触到顶尖的世界一流高等教育。
But as more students enter university, they are facing a brand new challenge, the presence of
但随着更多学生进入大学，他们正面临着全新的挑战，即存在于
advanced artificial intelligence. Yes.
先进人工智能。是的。
AI tools have become a standard feature on college campuses.
人工智能工具已成为大学校园里的标准配置。
This has prompted presidents of prestigious institutions like Peking University and Fudan University
这促使北京大学和复旦大学等知名院校的校长
to issue strong warnings to incoming students.
向新生发出强烈警告。
They are urging young people to over -relying on AI for writing, researching, and critical thinking.
他们敦促年轻人不要在写作、研究和批判性思维上过度依赖人工智能。
That is so important.
那太重要了。
AI can easily write an essay for you, but it cannot do the thinking for you.
人工智能可以轻松地为你写一篇文章，但它不能替你思考。
If you let the machine do all the heavy lifting, your own intellectual muscles will eventually waste away.
如果你把所有的重活都交给机器，你自己智力的肌肉最终就会萎缩。
That is a perfect metaphor, Sophia.
这是一个完美的比喻，索菲亚。
In a recent interview, tech leader Elon Musk shared similar advice for the younger generation.
在最近的一次采访中，科技领袖埃隆·马斯克向年轻一代分享了类似的建议。
He suggested that young people should seek a very broad education, including humanities, the arts,
他建议年轻人应该寻求非常广泛的教育，包括人文学科、艺术
and social sciences, alongside technology.
以及社会科学，与技术并重。
He pointed out that if you want to successfully manage or give instructions to highly intelligent
他指出，如果你想成功地管理高智能机器人和人工智能系统或对其下达指令
robots and AI systems, you must possess strong organizational skills and a deep, well -rounded
你就必须具备强大的组织能力以及对人性深刻而全面的
understanding of human nature. Fascinating.
理解。太引人入胜了。
So the key to surviving the AI revolution is actually to become more human, not more technical.
所以，在人工智能革命中生存下来的关键，其实是变得更具人性，而不是更偏向技术。
That is highly reassuring.
这非常令人安心。
Now speaking of human health and choices, let us move to our next segment, which focuses on some
现在说到人类的健康和选择，让我们转到下一个环节，该环节关注一 些
very dangerous health misconceptions.
非常危险的健康误区。
Yes, our next story is a powerful cautionary tale.
是的，我们的下一个故事是一个强有力的警示故事。
A 42 -year -old woman in Hangzhou decided to go on a strict vegetarian diet for three years in an
杭州一位42岁的女士决定坚持严格的素食饮食三年，试图
attempt to detoxify her body.
排毒，为她的身体解毒。
She completely eliminated meat, fish, eggs, and dairy from her meals.
她从饮食中彻底剔除了肉、鱼、蛋和奶制品。
Recently, however, she began experiencing severe muscle weakness, and a sensation in her legs that
然而最近，她开始感到严重的肌肉无力，腿部有一种感觉
felt like walking on cotton.
感觉就像踩在 棉花上。
When she went to the hospital, she was shocked to learn she was on the verge of permanent paralysis.
当她去医院时，震惊地得知自己濒临永久性瘫痪。
Oh my goodness.
天哪。
Paralyzed from eating vegetables?
吃蔬菜导致瘫痪？
How is that even possible?
这怎么可能呢？
The doctors diagnosed her with a severe deficiency in vitamin B12, which led to a condition that
医生诊断出她严重缺乏维生素B12，这导致了一种病情
damaged her spinal cord and nervous system.
损害了她的脊髓和神经系统。
You see, vitamin B12 is absolutely crucial for maintaining the health of our nerve cells and
你看，维生素B12对于维持我们神经细胞的健康是 绝对至关重要的，而且
producing red blood cells.
生成红细胞。
The catch is that our bodies cannot make vitamin B12, and it is almost exclusively found in animal
关键在于我们的身体无法合成维生素B12，而且它几乎专门存在于动物
products like meat, fish, eggs, and milk.
像肉类、鱼类、蛋类和牛奶等制品中。
Ah, I see.
啊，我明白了。
So by completely cutting out all animal products for three years without taking any dietary
因此，在三年内完全切断所有动物制品且不摄入任何膳食（补充剂）
supplements, she literally starved her nervous system of an essential nutrient.
补充剂，她实际上让自己的神经系统极度匮乏一种必需的营养素。
It's like running an electrical appliance but slowly stripping away the protective plastic coating
这就像在使用一台电器，却在慢慢剥离外层的塑料保护涂层
on the wires.
在电线上。
Eventually, the system short circuits. Exactly.
最终，系统短路了。确实如此。
Fortunately, after receiving heavy doses of vitamin B12 therapy, her condition is improving, but it
幸运的是，在接受了大剂量的维生素B12治疗后，她的状况正在改善，但这
serves as a stark reminder.
提供了一个鲜明的提醒。
If you choose to follow a vegan or strict vegetarian diet, you must consult a professional and take
如果你选择遵循纯素或严格的素食饮食，你必须咨询专业人士并
proper vitamin supplements.
服用适当的维生素补充剂。
That is an incredibly valuable lesson, and it ties in perfectly with another food trend we are
那是一个极其宝贵的教训，而且它完美地契合了我们正在
seeing in supermarkets, the rise of zero additive foods.
超市里看到的另一个食品趋势——零添加剂食品的兴起。
Many people automatically assume that if a food package says zero additives, it's instantly safer
许多人会自动认为，如果食品包装上写着零添加，它就会立刻变得更安全
and healthier.
且更健康。
But is that really true, Daniel?
但那真的是对的吗，丹尼尔？
The short answer is no, not necessarily.
简短的回 答是：不，不一定。
Food safety experts have pointed out that food additives, when used within national safety limits,
食品安全专家指出，食品添加剂如果在国家安全限额内使用，
serve important purposes like preventing mold, keeping food fresh, and stopping bacteria from growing.
能发挥重要作用，例如防止发霉、保持食品新鲜以及抑制细菌滋生。
When a product claims to have zero additives, manufacturers sometimes have to use much higher
当一款产品声称零添加时，制造商有时不得不使用高得多的
amounts of salt, sugar, or oil to act as natural preservatives so the food does not spoil quickly.
盐、糖或油的量来作为天然防腐剂，这样食物才不会很快变质。
Ah, so you might think you are buying a healthier option, but in reality you are consuming a massive
啊，所以你可能以为自己买到了更健康的选择，但实际上你却摄入了大量的
amount of hidden sugar and sodium, which can lead to high blood pressure or weight gain.
隐形糖和钠，这可能会导致高血压或体重增加。
That is a classic marketing trap. Precisely.
那是典型的营销陷阱。确实如此。
The best strategy is to ignore the flashy labels on the front of the box and carefully read the
最好的策略是忽略包装盒正面那些华而不实的标签，仔细阅读
actual ingredient list and nutrition facts on the back before you buy.
购买前查看背面的实际配料表和营养成分表。
A very practical tip.
非常实用的建议。
Now let us move on to our brief updates, starting with some exciting news from the tech world.
现在让我们转到简短的新闻简报，首先是科技界的一些好消息。
Apple has officially released its new Mac Mini and Mac Studio models.

制造工艺。
The starting price is set at 6 ,999 yuan.

说到便利，你听说了最近社交媒体上年轻人中流行的
social media?

It is called surrogate services or lifestyle substitutes.

People are literally paying strangers to perform daily tasks for them, such as standing in long

lines, visiting elderly relatives on their behalf, or even attending social gatherings to drink
队、代表他们拜访年长的亲戚，甚至参加社交聚会替他们喝酒。
alcohol for them.
替他们喝酒。
That sounds incredibly unusual.
那听起来极其不寻常。
I can understand hiring someone to wait in line for a ticket, but hiring someone to visit your

relatives or attend a social dinner for you, doesn't that defeat the purpose of human connection?
亲戚或代替你参加社交晚宴，这难道不违背人际交往的初衷吗？

Though I must admit, the idea of hiring a surrogate to eat broccoli for me sounds highly appealing.
不过我必须承认，找个替代者帮我吃西蓝花这个想法听起来非常有吸引力。
I do not think that would help your health, Sophia, but it is a fascinating economic trend.
索菲娅，我不认为那会对你的健康有所帮助，但这确实是一个令人着迷的经济趋势。
At the same time, we are seeing young consumers happily line up for hours at freshly made snack

That is a brilliant, simple piece of wisdom.
这是一个极为高明而又朴素的智慧。

Less barking, more eating.
