>Twitter flags Trump tweet
特朗普推文被貼上標簽

Twitter on Tuesday added a fact-checking label to two tweets by US President Trump, the first time the social media platform has used such a label for the president's tweets.
5月26日，社交媒體平臺推特在美國總統(tǒng)特朗普發(fā)的兩條推文下加上了事實核查標簽，這是推特首次給特朗普的推文貼上這樣的標簽。

The tweet now includes a link directing users to information debunking the president's false claims about mail-in voting fraud.
現在推文下包含一個鏈接，引導用戶去查看信息，這些信息揭穿了特朗普關于郵寄選票會造成大選舞弊的聲明不實。

In his tweets, Trump alleged that mail-in ballots will be "substantially fraudulent" and result in a "rigged election."
特朗普在其數則推文中聲稱，郵寄選票"具有極大的欺詐性"，將導致"選舉舞弊"。

There is no evidence of widespread fraud in voting by mail, but Trump had been spreading his unfounded claims for weeks, as more states expand mail-in voting during the coronavirus pandemic.
新冠病毒疫情期間，越來越多的州開始推廣以郵寄選票的方式進行投票，沒有證據顯示郵寄選票中存在廣泛的欺詐行為，但數周來特朗普一直在散布這一毫無根據的說法。

>Mask with opening for food
'機械嘴'口罩吃飯可不摘

Israeli inventors have developed a coronavirus mask with a remote control mouth that lets diners eat food without taking it off, a device they say could make a visit to a restaurant less risky.
以色列發(fā)明家發(fā)明了一種預防新型冠狀病毒的口罩，這種口罩有一個可以遠程控制的開口，可以讓用餐者不用取下口罩就能用餐。發(fā)明者說，這種口罩可以降低去餐廳就餐的風險。

A squeeze of a lever, much like a cyclist operates a handbrake, opens a slot in the front of the mask so that food can pass through.
用餐者只需擠壓控制桿，就像騎自行車的時候捏手剎一樣，口罩前面就會打開一個狹槽，人們就可以通過這個狹槽把食物送進嘴里。

Avtipus said the company plans to start manufacturing the mask within months and had already submitted a patent.
阿提卡斯公司表示，計劃在幾個月內開始生產這種口罩，并已申請了專利。

It said it would likely sell at a 3 to 10 shekel premium above the price of the simple pale blue medical masks many Israelis wear.
這款口罩的售價可能比很多以色列人佩戴的普通藍色醫(yī)用口罩高出3-10謝克爾(約合人民幣6-20元)。

>Soles for beach-lovers

一家意大利公司發(fā)明了一款可粘貼鞋底，可以在你攀巖或在海里游泳時保護你的雙腳。

Nakefit防水防割傷鞋底現在可預訂，10雙售價為30歐元。

The alternative to flip-flops also is anti-slip, and can be peeled off and on for multiple uses.
作為人字拖的替代品，它還防滑，可以反復穿脫，多次使用。

As well as protecting against the sun, the soles can be worn in the swimming pool to protect against verrucas (扁平疣) and other infections.

The soles come in black, pink and light blue and a range of sizes for men and women.
橡膠鞋底有黑、粉和淺藍三種顏色，以及各種男女尺碼。

>Childbirth harms the planet
少生娃可有效降低碳排

By not having a child, the carbon footprint of an individual living in a developed country would be reduced on average by an extra 58.6 tons of carbon dioxide every year, based on current emission rates.
按照現在的排放速率，如果不生孩子，發(fā)達國家每年的個人碳排放量將平均額外減少58.6噸。

This is the biggest impact of all possible actions you could take to help the environment.
這是你能采取的環(huán)保行動中最有效的一種。

A team from Sweden's Lund University came to this conclusion after conducting an analysis of the things individuals can do to produce less greenhouse gases.
瑞典隆德大學的一個團隊在分析了個人為減少溫室氣體排放量所能采取的行動后，得出了上述結論。

Lead author Seth Wynes - who does not have any children - said: "We found there are four actions that could result in substantial decreases in an individual's carbon footprint: Eating a plant-based diet, avoiding air travel, living car-free, and having smaller families."
該研究的第一作者塞思·溫斯表示："我們發(fā)現四種行為可以大幅降低個人碳排放量，即吃植物性食物、不坐飛機、不開車和縮小家庭規(guī)模。"塞思本人沒有孩子。

The impact of having a child is calculated by factoring in not only the extra impact of the child, but also that of their potential future descendants.
計算生一個孩子對碳排放量的影響有多大，不僅要考慮這個孩子額外產生的碳排量，還要考慮其可能產生的后代的碳排量。

The researchers said: "Persuading a US family to have one less child would provide the same level of emissions reductions as persuading 684 teenagers who do not recycle, to recycle comprehensively for the rest of their lives."
研究人員表示："說服一個美國家庭少要一個孩子的減排效果，相當于讓684位從不回收利用的青少年在余生都堅持回收利用所減少的碳排放量。"
