Today, we have a fascinating lineup.
今天，我们有一个精彩的节目阵容。
We start in the tech world with a massive legal ruling against Apple, which also gives us a
我们从科技界开始，针对苹果公司的一项重大法律裁决，这也为我们提供了
fantastic lesson in translation accuracy.
一堂关于翻译准确性的精彩课程。
That sounds intriguing.
这听起来很耐人寻味。
After that, we will look at BYD's luxury brand, Denza, breaking a global electric vehicle range record.
在此之后，我们将关注比亚迪的豪华品牌腾势，它打破了全球电动汽车续航里程记录。

and the truth behind a very popular seasonal food myth involving mooncakes and crabs.
以及一个关于月饼和螃蟹、非常流行的季节性食物传言背后的真相。
And finally, we will share some wonderful moments from the Nagoya Asian Games, including a hilarious
最后，我们将分享名古屋亚运会的一些精彩瞬间，包括一个极其搞笑的
gift given to a teenage gold medalist, a cheap new breakfast deal from Starbucks, and an adorable
送给一位十几岁金牌得主的礼物，星巴克一款廉价的早餐新品，以及一个可爱的
puppy parade in Chile.
智利的小狗游行。
It is going to be a lively show, so let us get started.
这将是一场热闹的节目，所以让我们开始吧。
Let us begin with our top story.
让我们从我们的头条故事开始。
A federal jury in San Diego recently ruled that Apple must pay substantial damages after being found
圣地亚哥的一个联邦陪审团最近裁定，苹果公司在被判定侵权后必须支付巨额的损害赔偿金
guilty of infringing on patents held by a company called Taction Technology.
因侵犯一家名为 Taction Technology 的公司的专利而被判有罪。
The patents involve haptic feedback technology.
这些专利涉及触觉反馈技术。
Oh, interesting.
哦，真有趣。
Before we talk about the money, can you explain what haptic feedback actually is?
在我们谈论钱之前，你能解释一下触觉反馈到底是什么吗？
It sounds like a highly technical term.
这听起来是一个高度技术性的术语。
Of course.
当然。
Think of haptic feedback as the sense of touch in digital technology.
将触觉反馈想象成数字技术中的触觉。
When you type on your smartphone screen and feel a tiny, subtle vibration that makes it feel like
当你在智能手机屏幕上打字，并感受到一种极其微妙的振动，让你觉得
you are pressing a real, physical button, that vibration is haptic feedback.
你正在按下个真实的物理按钮时，那种振动就是触觉反馈。
It uses tiny motors to simulate physical sensations.
它使用微型马达来模拟物理感觉。
Ah, that makes perfect sense.
啊，这完全说得通。
It is like a bridge between the physical and digital worlds.
它就像是连接物理世界和数字世界的一座桥梁。
So, Apple allegedly used Taction's specific way of doing this without permission.
所以，苹果公司据称在未经许可的情况下使用了 Taction 的特定方法。
Now, what about the money?
现在，那笔钱的情况怎么样？
I read some initial reports online stating that Apple was ordered to pay a mind -blowing $57 billion.
我在网上看到一些最初的报道称，苹果被判支付令人震惊的570亿美元。
Is that correct?
那是正确的吗？
That is exactly why we need to do some information calibration.
这正是为什么我们需要进行一些信息校准的原因。
$57 billion would be one of the largest legal payouts in human history.
570亿美元将是人类历史上最大的法律赔付款之一。
In fact, it would be almost half of Apple's entire annual profit.
事实上，这几乎相当于苹果整个年度利润的一半。
Our team did a quick search on international legal databases, and we discovered a classic
我们团队对国际法律数据库进行了快速检索，发现了一个典型的
translation error.
翻译错误。
A translation error.
一个翻译错误。
Do tell. Yes.
快说来听听。是的。
The actual court documents state the fine is $5 .7 million, not billion.
实际的法院文件显示，罚款是570万美元，而不是570亿美元。
In English, a million and a billion sound quite similar to non -native speakers.
英语中，对于非母语使用者来说，million（百万）和 billion（十亿）听起来非常相似。
And when translating to Chinese, where the numbering system uses 10 ,000 units like yuan and yi, it
而在翻译成中文时，由于中文的计数系统使用的是万、亿等万进位单位，
is very easy to add a few extra zeros by mistake.
很容易一不留神因为失误而多加几个零。
Wow, that is a massive difference.
哇，那真是巨大的差距。
$5 .7 million is a standard patent penalty, while $57 billion would be an absolute catastrophe.
570万美元是标准的专利处罚，而570亿美元将是一场彻底的灾难。
For our listeners, this is a perfect example of why we must always verify our sources and be extra
对于我们的听众来说，这是一个绝佳的例子，说明了为什么我们必须始终核实信息来源，并且要格外
careful with English terms like million, which is one million, and billion, which is 1 ,000 million. Exactly.
小心对待像 million（百万）和 billion（十亿，即1000个百万）这样的英文术语。确实如此。
It is a great learning point for all of us.
这对我们所有人来说都是一个很好的学习点。
Now, moving from consumer tech to green technology, the Chinese automotive giant BYD has officially
现在，从消费科技转向绿色科技，中国汽车巨头比亚迪已经正式
launched its new luxury smart sedan, the Denza Z9S.
推出了其全新的豪华智能轿车——腾势Z9S。
It has captured global attention by claiming a driving range of 1 ,100 kilometers.
它凭借宣称的1100公里续航里程，吸引了全球的关注。
1 ,100 kilometers.
1100公里。
That is incredible.
那真是太令人难以置信了。
That means you could drive all the way from Munich to Rome on a single charge.
这意味着你只需单次充电，就能一路从慕尼黑开到罗马。
But wait, Luke, is that a purely electric range, or is there a catch?
不过等等，路克，这是纯电动续航，还是其中有什么玄机？
You have a great eye for detail, Amelia.
艾米莉亚，你对细节的洞察力真敏锐。
Yes, there is a technical distinction here.
是的，这里有一个技术上的区别。
The Denza Z9S is released in both battery electric and plug -in hybrid versions.
腾势Z9S发布了纯电动和插电式混合动力两个版本。
The record -breaking range of 1 ,100 kilometers actually belongs to the plug -in hybrid version, which
创纪录的1100公里续航里程实际上属于插电式混合动力版本，
uses a combination of an electric motor, a battery, and a highly efficient gasoline engine that acts
该版本结合了电动机、电池和一台起发电机作用的高效汽油发动机。
as a generator.
充当发电机。
Ah, that makes sense.
啊，那就有道理了。
So it is not running solely on electricity for the entire 1 ,100 kilometers, but rather utilizing a
所以它并非在整个1100公里中仅仅依靠电力运行，而是利用了
hybrid system.
混合动力系统。
For our listeners, a hybrid vehicle uses two or more distinct types of power, such as an internal
对听众朋友们说明一下，混合动力汽车使用两种或更多种不同类型的动力源，例如内燃机
combustion engine and an electric motor.
燃烧发动机（内燃机）和电动机。
This combination is fantastic because it completely eliminates range anxiety, which is the fear that
这种组合太棒了，因为它完全消除了续航焦虑，也就是那种担心
your electric vehicle will run out of power before you can find a charging station. Precisely.
电动汽车在找到充电站之前会没电的恐惧。确实如此。
It is a highly practical technology for long -distance travel.
对于长途旅行来说，这是一种非常实用的技术。
Speaking of transitions, we have recently transitioned into autumn, and many of our listeners might
说到过渡，我们最近已经进入了秋季，很多听众可能
be noticing a very specific physical symptom lately.
最近注意到一个非常具体的身体症状。
A dry, sticky feeling in the throat, as if something is constantly stuck there.
喉咙里有一种干燥、黏糊糊的感觉，仿佛有什么东西一直卡在那里。
Yes, I have been clearing my throat all week.
是的，我这一整个星期都在清嗓子。
I thought I was catching a cold, but it just will not go away.
我还以为自己染上了感冒，但它就是不消退。
What is going on?
这是怎么回事？
According to both modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, this is a classic response to
根据现代医学 and 中医的说法，这是对秋燥的典型反应。
autumn dryness.
秋季干燥。
As the weather cools down, the humidity drops significantly.
随着天气转凉，湿度会显著下降。
This dry air irritates the sensitive mucous membranes in our throats, making our saliva thicker and
这种干燥的空气会刺激我们喉咙里敏感的黏膜，使我们的唾液变稠，并且
causing that sticky sensation.
导致那种黏糊糊的感觉。
It is not necessarily an infection.
这不一定是一次感染。
It is just our body reacting to the dry climate.
这只是我们的身体对干燥气候做出的反应。
So how do we combat this autumn dryness?
那么我们该如何对抗这种秋燥呢？
The key is consistent hydration.
关键是要持续补水。
However, a recent national report on drinking water quality warns that you should not wait until you
然而，最近一份关于饮用水水质的国家报告警告说，你不应该等到自己
are thirsty to drink water.
感到口渴才去喝水。
By the time your brain registers the sensation of thirst, your body has already lost about 1 % of its
当你的大脑意识到口渴的感觉时，你的身体已经失去了大约1%的
total water content, meaning you are already mildly dehydrated.
总水分，这意味着你已经轻度脱水了。
Wow, so thirst is actually an alarm system that rings when the damage is already starting.
哇，所以口渴实际上是一个在伤害已经开始时就会响起的警报系统。
That is a great metaphor.
这是一个非常棒的比喻。
We should be sipping water throughout the day to keep our systems running smoothly. Exactly.
我们应该一整天都在啜饮水，以保持我们身体系统的平稳运行。没错。
Now, since we are talking about autumn and health, there is a major rumor circulating on social
现在，既然我们在谈论秋季和健康，社交媒体上正流传着一个主要的谣言
media right now.
此刻的媒体上。
Many people are warning that eating autumn crabs and leftover mid -autumn mooncakes together can
许多人警告说，把秋蟹和中秋剩月饼一起吃会
cause severe chemical poisoning.
引起严重的化学中毒。
Some posts even say it is highly toxic.
一些帖子甚至说它高度有毒。
Oh, I have seen those warnings.
哦，我看到过那些警告。
It sounds terrifying because crabs and mooncakes are both incredibly popular this time of year.
这听起来很可怕，因为螃蟹和月饼在每年的这个时节都非常受欢迎。
But is there any truth to it, Luke?
但这有任何事实根据吗，卢克？
None at all.
一丁点也没有。
It is a complete medical myth.
这完全是一个医学谬误。
There is no chemical reaction between mooncakes and crabs that produces toxins.
月饼和螃蟹之间不会发生产生毒素的化学反应。
However, there is a very logical reason why people might feel sick after eating them together.
然而，人们在把它们一起吃下去后可能会感到不舒服，这其中有一个非常合理的原因。
And what is that?
那具体是什么呢？
It is simply digestive overload.
这纯粹是消化系统超负荷。
Crabs are incredibly rich in protein and are traditionally considered a cold food, which can be hard
螃蟹富含极高的蛋白质，并且在传统上被认为是寒性食物，这可能会让
on sensitive stomachs.
对于敏感的肠胃来说很难消化。
Mooncakes, on the other hand, are packed with heavy fats, oils, and refined sugars.
另一方面，月饼则充满了重油、脂肪和精制糖。
If you eat a lot of rich crab and then top it off with a heavy, sweet mooncake, your stomach has to
如果你吃了大量肥美的螃蟹，接着又塞下一个油腻、香甜的月饼，你的胃就不得不
work incredibly hard to digest it all.
非常努力地去消化这一切。
This can easily lead to indigestion, bloating, or even diarrhea, which people then mistake for poisoning.
这很容易导致消化不良、胀气，甚至腹泻，然后人们就会误以为是中毒。
Ah, so it is not a chemical poison.
啊，所以这不是化学中毒。
It is just a physical traffic jam in your stomach.
这只是你胃里的一场物理大堵车。
That makes perfect sense.
这太有道理了。
If you eat too much heavy food at once, your body is going to complain.
如果你一次吃太多油腻的食物，你的身体就会发出抱怨。
So enjoy your crabs and enjoy your mooncakes, but perhaps eat them a few hours apart and definitely
所以尽情享用你的螃蟹 and 享用你的月饼吧，但也许应该把它们隔开几个小时吃，并且一定要
practice moderation.
保持节制。
Perfect advice, Amelia.
完美的建议，阿米莉亚。
Now let us transition to the exciting world of sports.
现在让我们过渡到激动人心的体育世界。
At the Nagoya Asian Games, Teen China reached a historical milestone yesterday.

Instead of a bouquet of flowers or a cute mascot toy, they gave her a thick book.

And not just any book.

It was a copy of five years of college entrance exams and three years of mock papers.

This is the legendary, incredibly difficult study guide that almost every Chinese high school

学校教育。
