今天是2026年4月3日，星期五，我们首先报道阿耳忒弥斯二号的两名宇航员已离开地球轨道，正式启程前往月球。

Today is Friday, 04/03/2026, and we begin with the Artemis two astronauts out of the safety of Earth's orbit and officially en route to the moon.

昨晚东部时间19点49分，美国宇航局批准他们点燃主发动机，将他们的猎户座飞船推入更深的太空。

At 07:49PM Eastern last night, NASA gave them the green light to ignite their main engine and shoot their Orion ride deeper into space.

这一关键时刻的正式名称是‘地月转移注入点火’。

The official name for that critical moment, the translunar injection burn.

如果一切按计划进行，推力和轨迹将使宇航员在周一晚上距离月球表面最近约4000英里。

If all goes according to plan, the thrust and trajectory will get the crew as close as 4,000 miles from the moon's surface on Monday night.

在他们的舱内——大约相当于两辆小型货车合并的大小——空间略显拥挤，但依然相对舒适。

Inside their capsule, which is about the size of two minivans put together, it's a little cramped but still relatively comfortable.

舱内配备了一台飞轮健身设备，没有床铺，取而代之的是固定在舱壁上的睡袋。

There's a flywheel machine for exercise, and in place of beds, they have sleeping bags attached to the walls.

这艘飞船最大的亮点是配备了私人厕所，这是深空任务中的首次。

The biggest plus in this spacecraft, a private toilet, which is a first for a deep space mission.

至于淋浴，那就别想了。

As for showers, that's a negative.

他们得等到下周才能安全着陆。

They'll have to wait for splashdown next week.

这是一个愚人节玩笑，骗到了很多人，包括一家新闻媒体。

It was the April Fool's joke that had a whole lot of people fooled, including a news outlet.

标题是什么？

The headline?

报道称，运输安全管理局（TSA）将很快要求所有随身行李必须透明，以加快机场安检通道的通行速度。

That TSA would soon require all carry on bags to be transparent to help speed up airport security lines.

这篇文章甚至包含了一张仿制的产品图片，展示了一款透明的拉杆箱，并附有价格和评分。

The article even included a mock product image showing a see through rolling carry on suitcase with pricing and ratings.

提供旅行和旅行奖励计划信息的网站Upgraded Points像每年4月1日那样刊登了这个恶作剧，并附上免责声明：虽然要求TSA使用完全透明的行李确实可能加快安检流程，但你可以放心了。

Upgraded Points, a website that provides information about travel and travel rewards programs, printed the prank like it does every April 1 and even included a disclaimer stating, While the idea of requiring fully transparent bags at TSA might actually speed up the security process, you can breathe a sigh of relief.

这只是我们Upgraded Points每年愚人节传统的一部分。

This is just a joke as part of our annual April Fool's Day tradition here at Upgraded Points.

问题是，并非所有人都在发表评论前读到这是个玩笑，一些网站如MSN在没有免责声明的情况下转载了这条消息。

Trouble is, not everyone read the prank part before weighing in, and some websites like MSN reprinted it without the disclaimer.

这只是另一个例子，说明在相信你所看到或听到的任何信息之前，尤其是愚人节期间，核对多个信息来源有多么重要。

It's just another example of why it's so important to check multiple sources before believing anything you see or hear, especially on April Fool's Day.

高昂的油价又增添了一名受害者：网约车司机们开始更加挑剔接单，甚至可能彻底退出。

High gas prices have a new casualty: Ride Share drivers who are getting more picky with their pickups or may quit altogether.

正如我们本周早些时候报道的那样，由于与伊朗的冲突，美国全国每加仑汽油的平均价格已上升至

As we reported earlier this week due to the conflict with Iran, the national average cost of a gallon of gas in The U.

美国

超过4美元，在加利福尼亚州甚至超过5美元，导致优步和Lyft等公司的数百万司机表示，继续工作已变得过于昂贵。

Has climbed above $4 and above $5 in California, causing millions of drivers for companies like Uber and Lyft to say it's getting too expensive to keep working.

CNN报道称，对许多人而言，包括一位靠开车赚取额外收入的教师，更高的燃油成本意味着他们的利润减少，甚至亏本。

CNN is reporting that for many, including a teacher who drives to earn extra money, higher fuel costs mean they're making less profit or even losing money.

来自南加州的前华尔街交易员塞尔吉奥·阿维杜兹告诉《商业内幕》：‘对于那些不愿放弃的司机来说，短期解决方案是专注于长途高速路线，因为这类行程更高效，同时拒绝那些耗油量大的短途市内接单。’

Sergio Avidnuz, a former Wall Street trader who now drives for Uber and Lyft in Southern California, told Business Insider, For fellow drivers who don't throw in the towel, the short term solution is to focus on long freeway trips that tend to be more efficient and to say no to short cross town trips that burn a lot of gas.

这种决定被称为‘拒绝并放弃’。

The decision is known as decline and recline.

中国研发的一项新技术正在应对一个全球性问题。

A newly developed technology in China is tackling a global problem.

Fast Sort纺织机利用人工智能根据衣物材质对成堆的旧衣服进行分类，识别聚酯、尼龙等合成材料，并将其送往回收区域。

The Fast Sort textile machine uses artificial intelligence to sort piles of used clothing by what it's made of, identifying synthetic materials like polyester and nylon and sending them to sorting areas for recycling.

这款AI扫描仪被《时代》杂志评为2025年最佳发明之一，它能在几分钟内处理40磅衣物，而人类完成同样的工作大约需要四小时。

Named one of Time Magazine's Best Inventions of 2025, the AI scanner can go through two twenty pounds of clothes in just a few minutes compared to roughly the four hours it would take a human to do the same job.

最终，该系统有助于让更多衣物得到回收而非被丢弃，从而减少全球范围内的衣物浪费。

In the end, the system helps more clothing get recycled instead of thrown away, cutting down on clothing waste worldwide.

据纺织厂的一名发言人称，这台机器很少出错。

And according to a spokesperson at the textile facility, the machine rarely makes mistakes.

今天是受难节。

Today is Good Friday.

复活节是星期天，但对许多基督徒来说，传统从昨天就已经开始了。

Easter is Sunday, but for many Christians, the tradition began yesterday.

参加圣周四仪式的包括查尔斯三世国王和卡米拉王后，他们参与了皇家洗足仪式。

Among those marking Holy Thursday were King Charles III and Queen Camilla, who participated in the Royal Maundy Service.

根据王室官网的说法，这一古老仪式属于英国国教，可追溯至六月那一年。

According to the royals' website, this ancient ceremony is part of the Church of England and dates back to the year June.

作为君主，查尔斯国王向77位男性和77位女性颁发了特制的皮质钱包，内含纪念币，以表彰他们对社区的贡献。

In his role as monarch, King Charles presented special leather purses containing commemorative coins to 77 men and 77 women recognized for helping their communities.

按照传统，77这个数字与他的年龄相符。

As tradition dictates, the number 77 matches his age.

这次仪式有史以来第二次在威尔士举行，这对查尔斯而言意义非凡，因为他成为国王前曾担任威尔士亲王长达六十四年。

For only the second time ever, the ceremony took place in Wales, which holds special meaning for Charles, who held the title Prince of Wales for sixty four years before becoming king.

接下来，一家糖果公司在收到大量个人批评后，决定改变立场。

Still to come, after receiving some very personal blowback, a candy company reverses course.

但首先，我们要向一些优秀的捐赠者致谢。

But first, we want to shout out some of our awesome donors.

在今天的儿童新闻快讯中，证明了在社交媒体上被点名有时确实有效。

In today's Kid News Kicker, proof that getting called out on social media sometimes works.

你可能还记得，在情人节那天，瑞斯的原始创始人的孙子公开批评了好时公司——自1963年以来一直生产瑞斯花生酱杯的公司——因为其部分季节性糖果（包括迷你复活节彩蛋）改用了巧克力风格涂层，而非经典的牛奶巧克力或黑巧克力。

You may remember that on Valentine's Day, the grandson of Reese's original founder publicly shamed the Hershey Company, which has manufactured Reese's peanut butter cup since 1963, for switching to a chocolate style coating instead of classic milk or dark chocolate on some of its seasonal candies, including its mini Easter eggs.

好时公司显然清楚地接收到了这个信息。

Hershey apparently got the message loud and clear.

在最初将这种改变归咎于创新之后，该公司现在表示，从2027年起，将为所有好时和瑞斯产品恢复经典配方。

After blaming the changes on innovation, the company now says it will bring back the classic recipe for all its Hershey's and Reese's products starting in 2027.

在结束之前，让我们为一些我们的儿童新闻课堂点赞。
