早上好，欢迎收看儿童新闻。

Good morning, and welcome to Kid News.

我是金。

I'm Kim.

今天是2026年1月16日，星期五，我们首先关注一位传奇网球教练，他曾培养出维纳斯和塞雷娜，如今押注于一位九岁的小选手。

Today is Friday, 01/16/2026, and we begin with the legendary tennis coach who trained Venus and Serena now betting on a nine year old.

里克·马西曾指导威廉姆斯姐妹走向辉煌，他声称，来自乌克兰的年轻选手弗拉达·霍兰查尔近期抵达美国后表现非凡。

Rick Massey, who guided the Williams sisters to greatness, claims Vlada Horanchar, a youngster who recently arrived in The U.

这位来自战乱中的乌克兰的女孩，终有一天会成为世界上最好的球员。

From war torn Ukraine, will one day be the best player in the world.

为了支持他的说法，马西称赞她无与伦比的专注力和敬业精神，并将她与威廉姆斯姐妹同龄时的表现相提并论。

To support his claim, Massey credits her unmatched focus and work ethic, drawing comparisons to the Williams sisters at the same age.

他告诉CNN体育，她是自己执教生涯中见过最努力的球员。

He told CNN Sports she is the hardest worker he's ever coached in his life.

弗拉达每天早上五点就开始训练。

她每周七天都坚持练习网球，直到下午三点左右才开始学习功课。

尽管如此，她仍然有时间做孩子该做的事，喜欢和朋友一起去电影院和水上乐园。

Somehow, she also finds time to be a kid and enjoys going to the movies and water parks with her friends.

一棵比美国历史还悠久的树即将被砍倒。

A tree older than The United States is coming down.

下周二，堪萨斯城的工人将开始砍伐一棵名为‘自由树弗兰克’的250年历史巨型白橡树，由于多年疾病、腐烂和雷击，这棵树已不再安全。

Next Tuesday, workers in Kansas City will begin chopping down a 250 year old massive bur oak known as Frank the Liberty Tree after years of disease, decay, and a lightning strike made it unsafe to leave it standing.

弗兰克自美国独立战争之前、甚至在堪萨斯城还只是一个小镇之前，就一直矗立在这里。

Frank has been a fixture in town since before the Revolutionary War and before Kansas City was a town.

当邻居们道别并分享对这一昔日繁荣地标的美好回忆时，来自全国各地的陌生人却争相索取纪念品。

As neighbors say their goodbyes and share fond memories of the once thriving landmark, strangers from across the country are angling for a keepsake.

根据当地新闻媒体报道，弗兰克的一些树皮将被用来制作杯垫和砧板。

According to a local news outlet, some of Frank's bark will be used to make coasters and cutting boards.

还有人提议在弗兰克曾经伫立的地方制作一座纪念长椅。

There's also talk of crafting a memorial bench for the spot where Frank once stood.

马能闻出你是否害怕。

Horses can smell when you're scared.

法国一家公共研究机构的科学家进行了一项颇为奇特的实验，以检验人类的恐惧是否具有传染性。

Scientists at a public research institute in France conducted a rather unusual experiment to see if human fear was contagious.

在研究中，志愿者观看了快乐电影和恐怖电影的片段。

In the study, volunteers watched scenes from both happy movies and horror films.

研究人员随后收集了志愿者的一些汗液，并分别将不同类型的汗液样本放在马的鼻尖前。

Researchers then collected a little of the volunteers' sweat and, one type at a time, put the samples to the horse's muzzle.

快乐的汗液没有引起太多反应，但恐惧的汗液呢？

Happy sweat didn't cause much of a reaction, but fear sweat?

这导致马匹更容易受惊，对陌生物体的靠近速度变慢，心率也更高。

That led the horses to startle more, move slower toward unfamiliar objects, and have higher heart rates.

参与这项研究的一位医生告诉《卫报》，这项研究揭示了动物与人类之间有多么紧密的联系。

One of the doctors involved told The Guardian that the study shows how closely connected animals and humans are.

我们无意识中可以将情绪传递给动物，而这种传递会显著影响动物自身的情绪。

Unconsciously, we can transmit our emotions to animals with quite important effects on their own emotions in return.

你们中的许多人可能在课堂上至少会使用一些人工智能，尽管一些专家发出警告，但一份新报告的发现并非全然负面。

Many of you probably use at least a little AI in your classroom, and while some experts are raising red flags, the findings of a new report are not all bad.

布鲁金斯学会的普适教育中心表示，在学校中使用生成式人工智能有助于阅读和写作，但关键在于适度。

The Brookings Institution's Center for Universal Education says using generative AI in schools can help with reading and writing, but that the key is moderation.

这项研究涵盖了50个国家的学生、教师和家长，结果显示人工智能也可能削弱创造力、批判性思维等重要技能，甚至影响孩子的社交能力。

The research studied kids, teachers and parents in 50 countries and shows AI can also weaken important skills like creativity, critical thinking and even impact kids socially.

最大的问题之一是让聊天机器人替孩子做了太多思考。

One of the biggest problems letting chatbots do too much of the thinking.

对于学校而言，人工智能可以作为教师节省时间的辅助工具，但不应取代课堂教学。

Among the takeaways for schools, AI can be a time saving support tool for teachers, but it should not replace lessons in the classroom.

迪士尼乐园正在扩展其《星球大战》宇宙。

Disneyland is expanding its Star Wars universe.

当‘银河边缘’于2019年开放时，游客——尤其是那些年龄接近你父母的老粉丝——很可能注意到他们喜爱的早期《星球大战》电影中的某些角色不见了。

When Galaxy's Edge opened in 2019, visitors, especially some older fans close to your parents' age, most likely noticed that some of their favorite characters from earlier Star Wars films were missing.

这是有意为之，因为该区域的设计旨在反映新电影中一个特定的篇章，而那些原始角色并未出现在那个故事里。

That was by design since the land was created to reflect a specific chapter in the newer movies when those original personalities weren't part of the story.

从4月29日起，这一切都将改变，达斯·维达、卢克·天行者、莱娅公主和汉·索洛将现身巴图星球。

That's all going to change beginning April 29, when Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo will appear on Batuu.

听力敏锐的游客还将听到熟悉的配乐——约翰·威廉姆斯创作的早期《星球大战》电影经典音乐。

Sharp eared park goers will also hear a familiar soundtrack, John Williams' classic Star Wars music from the early films.

接下来还将推出一场电影影院挑战赛，爆米花的限量仅取决于你自带的容器。

Still to come, a movie theater challenge where the only limit on popcorn is the container you bring.

但首先，让我们向一些忠实粉丝和慷慨捐赠者致谢。

But first, it's time to shout out some of our loyal fans and generous donors.

来自北卡罗来纳州凯里市的宋姆·维尔，芝加哥的克里斯滕·克拉纽斯，以及加利福尼亚州丹维尔市托里前邻居丽莎·波尔森。

Songum Vell of Cary, North Carolina, Kristen Cranius in Chicago, Illinois, and Tori's former neighbor Lisa Polson in Danville, California.

衷心感谢大家，从我们的麦克风到你们的心里。

Thank you all from the bottom of our microphones.

If so, Cinemark has a popcorn deal.

为庆祝一月的国家爆米花日，这家电影院连锁店将重新推出自带桶活动。

这意味着，只需支付5美元外加税，你就可以带上任何容量不超过400盎司的干净容器，他们会为你装满爆米花或焦糖爆米花（视供应情况而定）。

That means for $5 plus tax, you can bring in any clean container of up to 400 ounces, and they'll fill it to the brim with popcorn or kettle corn where available.

400盎司太多了。
