Hello, lovely people and welcome to a brand new season.

大家好，歡迎來到全新的季節。

希望你們都能度過一個愉快的夏天。

Thanks to all of you kept in touch on social media.

感謝大家通過社交媒體保持聯繫。

I am pumped up ready to rock this new season with all of you.

我已經準備好和大家一起搖滾新賽季了。

We are right here for you to break down the most important news as it happens from social studies to science on and on.

我們就在這裡為您解讀最重要的新聞，從社會學到科學，不一而足。

And we have some brand new segments lined up these sleeves for you this season as well.

本季我們還為您準備了一些全新的節目。

So let's get this show on the road. Shall we?

With all of us being back together again, let's take a theme for the day.

我們大家又在一起了，可以嗎？讓我們以今天為主題。 

And as students across the country head back to school this year, did you know that a growing number are going to be returning to a four-day school week?

在全國各地的學生今年返校之際，您知道有越來越多的學生將恢復每週四天的上課時間嗎？

In fact, 24 states, 850 districts in the United States will have a shorter week this year.

事實上，美國有 24 個州、850 個區今年的一週時間將縮短。

Well, schools are adopting this method to help deal with budgetary constraints and staffing shortages.

學校正在採用這種方法來幫助解決預算緊張和人員短缺的問題。

They're also hoping a four-day school week will help students feel less burned out and more focused.

他們還希望每週四天的上課時間能讓學生們減少疲憊感，更加專注。

But there are downsides as well, including studies showing lower test scores, worse academic comprehension and lower graduation rates.

但也存在一些弊端，包括研究顯示考試成績較低、學習理解能力較差以及畢業率較低。

Let's break down this debate with a little more specific data.

讓我們用更具體的數據來分析這場辯論。

Could a four-day school week become the norm?

每週上四天課是否會成為常態？

Well, more school districts are trying it out.

現在，越來越多的學區開始嘗試。

24 states have at least one school district using a shortened week.

24 個州至少有一個學區採用縮短周的做法。

這比 2019 年增加了 31%，更短的週數可以幫助學校解決預算緊張、人員短缺和學生出勤率等問題。

Shorter weeks can help schools with budgetary constraints, staff shortages and student attendance.

That flexibility can increase teacher morale and decrease burnout in the classroom.

這種靈活性提高了教師的士氣，減少了教師在課堂上的倦怠感。

Four-day weeks have traditionally been more common in rural areas.

在農村地區，傳統上每週工作四天的情況更為普遍。

Now they're gaining steam in metro areas like Denver, Phoenix and San Antonio as well.

現在，它們在丹佛、菲尼克斯和聖安東尼奧等大都市地區也越來越受歡迎。

But research shows there are drawbacks to a shortened school week.

但研究表明，縮短教學周也有弊端。

One study found lower math achievement in some districts the four-day weeks, but the ill effects of banished in districts with longer school days.

一項研究發現，在一些地區，每週四天的數學成績較低。但在上課時間較長的地區，這種不良影響已被消除。 

A second study found higher absenteeism and lower on time graduation rates compared with five-day students.

第二項研究發現，與五天制學生相比，曠課率更高，按時畢業率更低。

Shorter school weeks can also be headed for parents, costing families an extra $5000 to $9000 a year in child care.

對家長來說，縮短上課周也會導致家庭每年在兒童保育方面多花費 5000 到 9000 美元。

As more school districts shorten the week, you can expect to hear more about this debate.

隨著越來越多的學區縮短教學周，您可以期待聽到更多關於這場辯論的消息。

10-second trivia: which of these weather patterns is a "warm phase" signaled by weaker trade winds and warmer ocean water?

第 12 個小知識，在這些天氣模式中，哪一個是以較弱的信風和較暖的海水為信號的溫暖階段？復活節、厄爾尼諾、拉尼娜或厄爾尼諾西班牙語是小男孩的意思。

是指太平洋上出現的不規則天氣模式。 

El Nino, Spanish for the little boy, is this irregular weather pattern that occurs in the Pacific Ocean.

Sticking to our returning theme, this summer brought back some really warm temperatures in many parts of the country.

今年夏天，全國許多地方的氣溫都非常高，這與我們的迴歸主題不謀而合。

The summer of 2023 in parts of the nation has seen record-high temperatures at times and some projections say we could see a new record for the warmest year ever recorded.

2023 年夏天，美國部分地區的氣溫時常創下新高，一些預測稱，我們可能會看到有史以來最熱年份的新紀錄。

A big reason: weather models are showing one of the strongest El Ninos in decades.

一個重要原因是天氣模型顯示，這是幾十年來最強的厄爾尼諾現象之一。 

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or NOAA announced the presence of those El Nino condictions on June 8.

美國國家海洋和大氣管理局（NOAA）於 6 月 8 日宣佈出現厄爾尼諾現象，厄爾尼諾現象出現的年份往往會更熱，因為源於太平洋的溫暖海水會影響全球天氣模式。

Years where El Ninos are present tend to be hotter as warm ocean waters that originate in the Pacific Ocean can influence global weather patterns.

These events happen every 2 to 7 years and they vary in intensity.

這些事件每 2 到 7 年發生一次，強度各不相同。

Scientists are still searching for why this happens, but the pattern can last for weeks or months.

科學家們仍在尋找發生這種情況的原因，但這種模式可能會持續數週或數月之久。

More now from meteorologist Jennifer Gray, Mama of one of our very own CNN tenors.

來自氣象學家詹妮弗-格雷的報道 我們CNN的男高音卡登的媽媽

關於厄爾尼諾，我們已經聽了很多。

In fact, it's a weather phenomenon that happens between the Pacific Ocean and the atmosphere.

事實上，這是一種發生在太平洋和大氣層之間的天氣現象。

It can have an influence on the temperature and the weather all over the world.

它可以影響全世界的氣溫和天氣。

In the spring time, the trade winds start to relax and in a normal year, they come back during the Asia monsoonin the summer;

在春季，信風開始減弱，在正常年份，信風會在夏季亞洲季風期間捲土重來，而在厄爾尼諾年，信風不會捲土重來，事實上，有些年份信風甚至會逆轉。

during an El Nino year, they don't, in fact, some years, the trade winds can even reverse.

That has a huge impact on the Pacific Ocean.

During a normal year, warm water is pooled on the west side of the ocean, cooler water on the east side that results in cooler waters off the coast of California and warmer waters in the Western Pacific;

在正常年份，暖水彙集在海洋的西側，冷水彙集在海洋的東側，這導致加利福尼亞沿岸的海水溫度較低，而在厄爾尼諾現象發生的年份，西太平洋的海水溫度較高，熱力傾斜消失，是以暖水一直流向太平洋的東側，從而增加了對流。

during an El nino year that thermo cline tilt goes away and so warm water is spilled all the way over to the east side of the Pacific that increases convection.

It also brings thunderstorms to the coast of California and droughts to the western side of the Pacific.

它還會給加利福尼亞沿岸帶來雷暴，給太平洋西岸帶來乾旱。

We all know that El Nino will impact the world.

我們都知道厄爾尼諾現象將影響世界。

The only question is how will it affect you?

唯一的問題是，它會對你產生什麼影響？

This fall will be a big test for another type of return the return of workers to the workplace.

今年秋天將是對另一種迴歸（工人重返工作場所）的重大考驗。

Major companies are asking remote workers to come on back as many as 1 million US workers are facing return orders.

各大公司都在要求遠程工人回來，多達 100 萬美國工人正面臨退貨訂單。

Even Zoom, the company that powered remote, working for millions is asking its employees to get on back to the cubicle.

即使是為數百萬人提供遠程辦公的公司，也在要求員工回到隔間裡去。

But even with all these changing mandates, the traditional office space isn't what it used to be.

但是，即使有了這些不斷變化的規定，傳統的辦公空間也已今非昔比，這些大樓和摩天大樓裡曾經擠滿了忙碌的工人。

Once these buildings and skyscrapers were full of busy workers; now, after the pandemic, less than 50% of office workers are going back in person.

現在，大流行病過後，只有不到 50% 的辦公人員親自回去上班，這對擁有這些大樓的人來說是個問題，因為你可以想象，沒有那麼多租戶來支付租金，許多房東不得不發揮創意。

And that's a problem for the people that own these buildings as you can imagine. without as many tenants to pay rent, many of these landlords are having to get creative.

Our CNN business and politics correspondent Vanessa has more.

CNN 商業與政治記者瓦妮莎將為您帶來更多報道。

They're statuesque, vast and staggering and they're empty skyscrapers and office buildings once stacked high with businesses are experiencing high vacancy rates in the US.

Nearly 19% 5.5% higher than before the pandemic.

今天，大流行病讓全國各地的辦公室空無一人。

The number of people returning to in person work is less than 50% in 10 major metro areas, forcing companies to rethink physical office space.

在 10 個主要大都市地區，回到現場工作的人數不到 50%，這迫使公司重新考慮實際辦公空間。

Half of the biggest global companies say they'll need less real estate in the next three years leaving landlords with loans to pay in a bind.

全球最大的公司中有一半表示，他們在未來三年內對房地產的需求將減少，這使得需要償還貸款的房東們陷入困境。

New York City's largest commercial landlord with more than 30 million square feet of space to rent.

紐約市最大的商業業主，出租面積超過 3,000 萬平方英尺。

The collapsing demand for office space means their tenant vacancy rate shot up from 3% pre pandemic to 10% today.

對辦公空間需求的崩潰意味著他們的租戶空置率從大流行前的 3% 上升到了現在的 10%。

你可以在這裡上演一場打鬥戲。

L Green 目前正在與 backlot 合作。

A company that connects landlords at 332 buildings across New York and New Jersey with film and TV companies.

該公司為紐約和新澤西州 332 幢大樓的業主與影視公司牽線搭橋。

這確實有助於減少經濟低迷時期的收入損失。

Empty office buildings could be turned into residential, a big need.

空置的辦公樓可以改建成住宅，這是一個很大的需求。

This project in Washington DC, once an office building is being turned into apartments, but that's not an easy quick fix process.

這個位於華盛頓特區的項目曾經是一棟辦公樓，現在正被改造成公寓，但這並不是一個簡單的快速修復過程。

Less than 1% of apartments nationwide are converted from commercial properties and across the river in Arlington, Virginia, the city is trying to get ahead of its empty office space problem at 22%.

在全國範圍內，由商業地產改建的公寓不到 1%，而在河對岸的弗吉尼亞州阿靈頓市，該市正試圖解決其 22% 的空置辦公空間問題。

I'm sitting right today in Northeastern's DC campus.

我今天就坐在東北大學華盛頓校區。

Last year, a university was not allowed to take up space in an office building.

去年，一所大學不被允許佔用辦公樓的空間。

今天，我們只有這麼多時間了。

And I can't wait until you see some of our new segments this year.

我迫不及待地想讓你們看到我們今年的一些新環節。

One of them has to do with all the teachers out there.

其中一個原因是外面的老師太多了。

So teachers stay on your toes and keep on shining.

是以，教師們要保持警惕，繼續發光發熱。
