今天是2026年5月1日，星期五。

Today is Friday, 05/01/2026.

今天的第一条新闻，带您看看大帽子、快马，还有转瞬即逝的赛马盛况。

We begin with big hats, fast horses, and a race that's over in a flash.

明天将迎来第152届肯塔基德比，这场被誉为体育界最激动人心的两分钟赛事，将在历史悠久的丘吉尔唐斯赛马场举行，23匹三岁小马将为一又四分之一英里的赛道全力冲刺。

Tomorrow's one hundred and fifty second Kentucky Derby, which is known as the most exciting two minutes in sports, will feature 23 year old horses kicking up dirt for one and a quarter miles at the historic Churchill Downs Racetrack.

目前，最受看好的是‘叛逆者’，紧随其后的是‘多说无益’和‘诫命’。

Right now, the odds on favorite is Renegade, followed by further ado and commandment.

看台上，成千上万的观众戴着五颜六色的服装和超大帽子，而数百万观众则在家守着屏幕观看。

Watching from the stands, thousands of fans in colorful outfits and oversized hats, while millions more tune in from home.

今年的德比还是年度三冠王系列赛的首站，接下来两周是普雷克尼斯大赛，之后是贝尔蒙特锦标赛。

Tomorrow's Derby is also the first race in the annual Triple Crown, with the Preakness in two weeks, followed by the Belmont Stakes.

历史上只有13匹马曾同一年赢得这三项赛事，最近一次是2018年的‘Justify’。

Only 13 horses have won all three in the same year, the most recent being Justify in 2018.

美国密西西比州的一群中学生因为一件好事火了。

A group of middle schoolers in Southern Mississippi has gone viral for all the right reasons.

视频里能看到，当校车司机在高速公路上突然晕倒时，他们立刻行动起来。

There's videos showing them springing into action when their school bus driver passed out on the highway.

46岁的利娅·泰勒当时正经历哮喘发作，她勉强把车速降下来，随后就彻底失去了意识。这时，坐在车前排的学生杰克逊一把抓住方向盘，他的同学达里乌斯则赶紧踩住刹车。

46 year old Leah Taylor, who was having an asthma attack, managed to slow the bus a bit before completely blacking out, which is when a student named Jackson, seated close to the front of the bus, is seen grabbing the wheel while his busmate, Darius, worked the brakes.

这真是完美的团队合作。

It truly was teamwork.

另一个小乘客找到了她的急救药，其他人则拨打了911，并通知了学区。

Another young passenger found her medication while others called 911 and alerted the school district.

泰勒女士现在已重返工作岗位，每天都感谢她的学生们。

Ms.

泰勒女士现在已重返工作岗位，每天都感谢她的学生们。

Taylor is now back on her route and thanking her students every day.

一项大型新闻调查证实了很多人早就怀疑的事。

A major news study has confirmed what many already suspect.

大多数青少年获取新闻的渠道都是社交媒体和网红。

The majority of teens are getting their news from social media and influencers.

进行这项全国调查的‘媒体洞察项目’发现，大约57%的13到17岁青少年每天都会在社交平台上刷新闻，而成年人中这么做的要少得多。

The Media Insight Project, which conducted the national poll, found that about fifty seven percent of 13 17 year olds check news on social platforms every day compared to far fewer adults.

不过，只有12%的青少年表示，他们对这些非传统新闻来源非常信任。

However, only twelve percent of teens say they have a great deal of confidence in these non traditional media sources.

很多青少年还会通过AI聊天机器人看新闻，但只有十分之一的人完全相信里面的内容，大约三分之一的人能分辨出哪些是AI生成的、哪些是人类写的。

Many teens also seek out news through AI chatbots, although only about one in 10 say they fully believe what they find there, and about one third say they can identify AI generated versus human generated content.

大自然这次真是平分秋色。

Nature just split the difference right down the middle.

马萨诸塞州科德角的渔民捞上了一只堪称一生难遇的龙虾——它一半是橙红色，一半是深棕色，从头到尾被一条近乎完美的直线一分为二。

Fishermen off Cape Cod, Massachusetts pulled up the Catch of a Lifetime, a remarkable looking lobster that's half orange red and half dark brown, divided in a nearly perfect line from head to tail.

科学家说，这种罕见现象大约五千万分之一的概率，是两个受精卵融合成一个胚胎，从而长出一个拥有两套遗传信息的生物。

Scientists say this one in 50 million rare look happens when two fertilized eggs fuse together, creating one animal with two sets of genetic information.

更让人惊讶的是，尽管它颜色这么显眼，容易被天敌发现，居然还在野外活了下来。

Even more surprising, it has survived in the wild despite its two colors making it easier for predators to spot.

这只龙虾没有成为谁的盘中餐，而是被捐给了伍兹霍尔科学水族馆，研究人员会给它取个名字，明年就会对外展出。

Instead of becoming someone's next meal, the lobster has been donated to the Woods Hole Science Aquarium, where researchers will give it a name before it goes on display sometime next year.

说到分裂，非洲现在是个整体，但科学家说，它迟早会分家。

Speaking of splitting, Africa may be one giant continent now, but scientists say it won't stay that way forever.

在地下深处，东非一条巨大的裂缝正缓慢地把陆地撕开，这片区域叫图尔卡纳裂谷。

Deep underground, a massive crack in Eastern Africa is slowly pulling the land apart along a region called the Turkana Rift.

几百万年来，地壳一直在拉伸变薄，现在研究人员说，它离彻底断裂已经不远了。

Over millions of years, the Earth's crust has been stretching and thinning, and researchers now say it's getting closer to actually breaking.

等真裂开了——可能还得几百万年——那个缝隙里就会形成一片新海洋，把非洲一分为二。

When that happens, likely millions of years from now, a new ocean could form in the gap, dividing the continent in two.

科学家说，这种叫‘大陆裂谷’的过程，当年就是把盘古大陆撕开、造出今天各大洋的元凶。

Scientists say this process, called continental rifting, is what once broke apart a supercontinent called Pangaea and created today's oceans.

这份报告发表在《自然·通讯》期刊上。

The report appears in the journal Nature Communications.

接下来还有更厉害的——Uber马上要推出远超打车和送餐的新功能。

Still to come, Uber is rolling out new features that go way beyond food and rides.

不过在那之前，咱们先来感谢一下我们的铁杆支持者。

But first, we want to shout out some of our amazing supporters.

来自德克萨斯州休斯顿的亚伦和雅各布·斯洛斯伯格，印第安纳州里士满的克里斯·哈迪，还有加利福尼亚州门洛帕克的瓦瑟斯坦一家，以及米尔皮塔斯的方春春。

Aaron and Jacob Slossberg from Houston, Texas, Chris Hardy in Richmond, Indiana, and to California for the Wasserstein family of Menlo Park and Chun Chun Fang of Milpitas.

谢谢你们每周五天支持我们做这件事。

Thank you for helping us do what we do five days a week.

在今天的儿童新闻小贴士里，主打拼车服务的Uber，想为乘客提供比单纯接送更丰富的体验。

In today's kid news kicker, Uber, the app that popularized rideshares, wants to do more for passengers than just get them where they're going.

这家公司刚推出了新功能，用户可以直接通过App预订酒店，甚至购买非Uber合作商家的商品。

The company just announced new features that include letting users book hotel stays and shop for items at stores not associated with the app.

Uber甚至还要加入一个AI语音助手，帮用户搞定所有行程规划。

Uber is even adding an AI powered voice assistant to help with all the planning.

还有一个新功能是给那些订高端行程的大额消费用户准备的——他们可以提前要求司机先去买好他们想吃的零食或想喝的饮料，再来接他们上车。

Another new feature for those big spenders who book premium rides, they can request that their drivers stop and shop for their favorite snacks or drinks before the car even picks them up.

在结束今天的节目之前，我们要和一些参与《儿童新闻》的班级打个招呼。

Before we go, we want to say hello to some of our Kid News classrooms.
