早上好，欢迎收听Kid News。

Good morning, and welcome to Kid News.

我是托里。

I'm Tory.

今天是2026年2月2日星期一，美国的土拨鼠日，这意味着彭苏特尼菲尔要开始他的传统仪式了。

Today is Monday, 02/02/2026, Groundhog Day in The US, which means it's time for Punxsutawney Phil to do his thing.

今天早上7点20分（东部时间），世界上最著名的土拨鼠被从宾夕法尼亚州戈布尔山的洞穴中取出，该地位于匹兹堡东北约90英里处。

At 07:20 this morning, East Coast time, the world's most famous groundhog was plucked from his burrow in Gobbler's Knob, Pennsylvania, about 90 miles Northeast of Pittsburgh.

如果菲尔看到自己的影子，我们就还得再经历六个星期的冬天，这可能不是现在很多人想听到的消息。

If Phil saw his shadow, we are in for six more weeks of winter, which is probably not the news many people wanna hear right now.

但如果他没看到影子，我们或许将迎来一个提早到来的春天。

But if he didn't, we could be in for an early spring.

他准确吗？

How accurate is he?

不太准确。

Not very.

菲尔的预测正确率只有大约35%，也许正因如此，宾夕法尼亚州这位冬眠的预言家现在有了竞争对手。

Phil only gets it right about 35% of the time, and maybe that's why Pennsylvania's hibernating prognosticator now has some competition.

正在挑战他天气预测地位的有准确率达85%的斯塔滕岛查克，以及一些非木制的预言者，比如德克萨斯州的洞穴鲍勃、俄亥俄州兰开斯特的波比臭鼬，还有康涅狄格州的斯克兰布尔鸭子。

Giving him a run for his weather predictions, Staten Island Chuck with 85% accuracy, along with some non wood Chuck guessers, b cave bob, an armadillo in Texas, poppy the skunk in Lancaster, Ohio, and scramble the duck in Connecticut.

再见了，炸弹气旋。

Bye bye bomb cyclone.

你好，北极寒流。

Hello, arctic blast.

正如预期，卡罗来纳地区遭受了周末天气的重击，出现白化条件和额外六到十二英寸的降雪，这比许多卡罗来纳居民几十年来见过的都多。

As expected, the Carolinas took the brunt of the weekend weather wallop with whiteout conditions and another six to 12 inches of snow, which is more than many Carolinians have seen in decades.

现在，炸弹气旋过后，天气变得异常寒冷，某些地方温度比正常值低30度。

Now behind the bomb, it's just really, really cold with temperatures 30 degrees below normal in some places.

这场严寒一直蔓延到佛罗里达州，以至于美国宇航局不得不重新规划阿耳忒弥斯二号的发射计划。

The deep freeze dipped all the way into Florida, so much so NASA has had to rethink its launch of Artemis two.

原定周五进行的全系统彩排，包括燃料加注，虽然开始延迟，但最晚将在今晚9点完成模拟发射。

A wet dress rehearsal complete with fueling was supposed to take place Friday, but began late and will now culminate with a mock launch at 9PM tonight at the earliest.

这意味着宇航员最早也要到本周日（8号）才能启程，开启人类历史上前所未有的绕月飞行。

That means the soonest the crew will head for its record breaking lap of the moon is this coming Sunday, the eighth.

这是一则没人预料到的好消息。

This is good news no one saw coming.

尽管气候变化和海冰减少，北极北极熊如今的体型和健康状况实际上比二十五年前更好。

Despite climate change and dwindling sea ice, Arctic polar bears are actually fatter and healthier today than they were twenty five years ago.

位于挪威与北极之间的斯瓦尔巴群岛的研究人员承认，刚开始这项研究时，他们本会预测相反的结果。

Researchers on Svalbard between Norway and the North Pole admit when they started their study, they would have predicted the opposite.

北极熊依靠海冰作为捕猎海豹的平台，按理说海冰减少会导致觅食困难。

Bears use ice as a platform to hunt for seals for dinner, and it would seem less ice might lead to a dinnertime conundrum.

事实证明，北极熊所需的海冰量比科学家最初认为的要少，而且它们的饮食也变得不那么挑剔了。

As it turns out, the bears not only need less ice than scientists originally thought, they also became less picky.

当抓不到海豹时，它们会进入内陆捕食驯鹿和海象。

When they don't catch seals, they venture inland to eat reindeer and walrus.

正如挪威极地研究所的约翰·艾尔斯博士对CBS新闻所说，一头胖乎乎的熊就是一头健康的熊。

As doctor John Ayers of the Norwegian Polar Institute told CBS News, a fat bear is a healthy bear.

但他也警告说，今天胖乎乎、快快乐乐并不意味着明天也会如此。

But he also cautioned that fat and happy today doesn't mean fat and happy tomorrow.

会有一条气候临界线，一旦越过这条线，他告诉《纽约时报》，北极熊就会开始变瘦，难以生存。

There will be a climate line, and when it's crossed, he told the New York Times, the polar bears will start losing weight and struggling to thrive.

体育新闻方面，滑雪运动员林赛·沃恩表示，尽管她在周五的一次摔倒中膝盖受伤，但这并不会阻止她再次追求奥运荣耀。

In sports news, skier Lindsey Vonn says a bad Friday wipeout that injured her knee will not keep her from seeking Olympic glory one more time.

林赛在意大利科尔蒂纳冬奥会前的最后一次比赛中摔倒，周五不得不由直升机从瑞士的山上运走。

Lindsay had to be airlifted off a mountain in Switzerland Friday after falling during her final competition before the Winter Games in Cortina, Italy.

冬奥会的首场比赛将于周三举行。

The first Olympic competitions are Wednesday.

开幕式将在周五举行。

The opening ceremony is on Friday.

如果她能康复膝盖，林赛的首场比赛将是周日的女子高山滑雪项目。

Presuming she can rehab her knee, Lindsay's first event would be Sunday in the women's downhill.

在澳大利亚公开赛上，22岁的卡洛斯·阿尔卡拉斯昨天早些时候以四盘击败网球巨星诺瓦克·德约科维奇，创造了历史。

And history was made at the Australian Open when 22 year old Carlos Alcarez took down tennis great Novak Djokovic early yesterday in four sets.

他现在成为最年轻的赢得网球四大满贯赛事的选手。

He's now the youngest to win all four of the sport's major tournaments.

接下来还将报道：NFL如何试图为超级碗增添一些甜蜜元素。

Still to come, how the NFL is trying to inject some sweet into the Super Bowl.

但首先，我们想提前祝来自加利福尼亚州红木城的沙列夫·马茨金九岁生日快乐。

But first, we wanna wish Shalev Matzkin of Redwood City, California an early happy ninth birthday.

沙列夫，你的家人相信你未来会成为一名前锋或中场球员，在足球领域取得成功，他们也希望你永远不要停止对时间旅行、宝可梦卡片经济、圣经文本以及《鲨鱼资本》中的商业策略提出深刻而富有洞察力的问题。

Shalev, your family sees soccer success in your future as a striker or midfielder, and they hope you never stop asking big insightful about time travel, the economics of Pokemon cards, biblical texts, and the business maneuvers on Shark Tank.

现在他们希望你专心听这个小测验，看看你和你弟弟哈达尔能答对多少题，因为你的爸爸正忙着开车，没空留意所有细节。

Now they'd like you to pay attention to the quiz and see how many you and your brother, Hadar, get right because your dad is too busy driving to catch all the details.

沙列夫和哈达尔，我们开始了。

Shalev and Hadar, here we go.

这个星期三就开始了，尽管开幕式在星期五。

在今天的儿童新闻结尾部分，没有什么比超级碗更具竞争性了，但NFL希望周日的比赛也能带来一些善意。

In today's kid news kicker, it doesn't get much more competitive than the Super Bowl, but the NFL is hoping Sunday's competition also comes with some kindness.

为了推动这一目标，联盟聘请了社交媒体创作者达伦·曼恩担任爱国者队与海鹰队比赛的首席善意官。

To help it along, the league has hired social media creator, Darr Mann, as its chief kindness officer for the Patriots Seahawks matchup.

曼恩大约十年前曾陷入困境，他称之为人生低谷，但后来他扭转了局面，如今通过励志视频和鼓舞人心的内容帮助他人。

Mann hit tough times about a decade ago, rock bottom as he calls it, but turned himself around and now tries to help others with motivational videos and inspirational content.

他在2026年超级碗上的首个倡议是一项名为‘善待对手’的社会活动，鼓励两支球队的球迷互相称赞对方以及支持他们的球迷。

His first initiative at Super Bowl twenty twenty six will be a be kind to your rival social campaign, encouraging fans of both teams to say nice things about the other and to those who cheer them on.

对于每个使用标签 #kindnesswinsbig 的合格帖子，他都将捐赠1美元给圣

For every qualifying post using the hashtag kindness wins big, he'll donate $1 to St.
