After a series of suspected attacks on undersea cables.

Last month, on Christmas morning, Estonians woke up with their power supply cut by one third when the Estlink-2 undersea power cable linking Estonia to Finland Failed.
上个月圣诞节的早上，爱沙尼亚人醒来后发现，由于连接爱沙尼亚和芬兰的 Estlink-2 海底电缆发生故障，他们的电力供应减少了三分之一。
Finnish officials say a Cook Islands flagged tanker carrying oil from Russia to Turkey apparently dragged its anchor over the cable, damaging it.
芬兰官员称，一艘悬挂库克群岛国旗的油轮从俄罗斯向土耳其运送石油，其锚显然拖过了电缆，导致电缆受损。
There are dozens of vulnerable and unprotected internet and power cables lying on the seabed of the Baltic Sea.
波罗的海的海底埋藏着数十条脆弱且未受保护的互联网和电力电缆。
And more than 95% of data worldwide moves through more than 1 million kilometers of those cables, spanning more than 80,000 miles.
全球超过 95% 的数据是通过这些总长超过 100 万公里、绵延超过 80,000 英里的光缆传输的。

Thankfully, the incident has had just a modicum of effect On Estonia because of reserve energy supplies, but it sounded the alarm for NATO officials already tracking incidents of suspected cable cutting.
值得庆幸的是， 由于爱沙尼亚拥有储备能源， 此次事件仅对爱沙尼亚产生了轻微影响，但这给已经在追踪疑似电缆被剪断事件的北约官员敲响了警钟。
In a matter of weeks, the alliance mobilized a group of warships to specifically prevent these suspected attacks.

10-Second trivia.
10 秒琐事。
A piece of ice breaking from a glacier becomes an iceberg during what process?
从冰川上脱落的一块冰经过什么过程变成冰山？
Calving, halving, fissuring, or disintegration?
崩裂、分裂、开裂、还是崩解？
Answer is calving, the natural process that occurs when the movement of glacier ice makes the end of the glacier unstable, breaking off into icebergs.
答案是冰山崩解，这是冰川运动导致冰川末端不稳定并断裂成冰山的自然过程。
This is the largest iceberg in the world, and it could hit a nearby island.
这是世界上最大的冰山，它可能会撞击附近的岛屿。
As of January, A23A spans an area of 3,643 square kilometers.
截至 1 月份，A23A 的占地面积为 3,643 平方公里。
That's about four times the land area of New York City and twice the size of London.
这大约是纽约市土地面积的四倍、伦敦的两倍。
Most icebergs typically last just a few years, but this megaberg broke off almost 40 years ago.
大多数冰山通常只能维持几年，但这座巨型冰山却在近 40 年前断裂。
Now, A23A has been heading north, spinning around and getting stuck for a while down in the southern Atlantic Ocean.
现在，A23A 一直向北飞行，在南大西洋旋转并被困了一段时间。
And right now, experts are worried it could hit the nearby British Overseas Territory of South Georgia, but this depends on the currents.
目前， 专家们担心它可能会袭击附近的英国海外领土南乔治亚岛，但这取决于洋流。
If it does hit, it could be a big deal for wildlife, the island's only permanent inhabitants.
一旦发生撞击，对岛上唯一的永久居民——野生动物来说，可能造成重大影响。
Penguins and seals could be in danger, and fishing and shipping industries could be impacted.
企鹅和海豹可能面临危险，渔业和航运业也可能受到影响。
However, it could split up into many more icebergs, which would be harder to track and impact ships.
然而，它可能会分裂成更多的冰山，这将使追踪变得更加困难，并且还会对船只造成影响。
Scientists say this iceberg probably broke away naturally, but the fossil fuel-driven climate crisis means Antarctica is experiencing more worrying changes, with potentially devastating consequences for global sea level rise.
科学家表示， 这座冰山可能是自然脱落的，但化石燃料引发的气候危机意味着南极洲正在经历更令人担忧的变化，并可能对全球海平面上升造成毁灭性后果。
Today, we are giving a big old 10 out of 10 to the scientists who glued tiny QR codes to the backs of about 30,000 bees, all in the name of science.
今天，我们要给那些以科学的名义将微型二维码粘贴到约 30,000 只蜜蜂背上的科学家打上满分。
For months, researchers worked to carefully attach QR codes smaller than a fingernail to young worker bees, averaging about 600 bees every two weeks across six bee colonies.
数月来， 研究人员一直努力将比指甲还小的二维码小心地贴到年轻工蜂身上，平均每两周贴到六个蜂群中的 600 只蜜蜂身上。
Biologists did the painstaking work to unravel the mysteries of how often and how far the persistent pollinators travel from their hives.
生物学家们进行了艰苦的研究，试图揭开持续传粉昆虫离开蜂巢的频率和距离之谜。
Our Jeremy Roth is the bee's niece for showing us how it works.
我们的杰里米·罗斯 (Jeremy Roth) 是蜜蜂的侄女，他向我们展示了蜜蜂的工作原理。
A newly published and buzz-worthy study saw scientists outfit honeybees with itty-bitty QR codes to track their movements.
一项新发表、引起轰动的研究表明，科学家为蜜蜂配备了微型二维码来追踪它们的活动。
You know those weird little pixelated symbols that link you to info when scanned by your phone's camera?
您知道那些当您的手机摄像头扫描时会将您与信息联系起来的奇怪的小像素符号吗？
Well, researchers at Penn State University glued similar tiny codes, no bigger than a pinky nail, to the backs of some 30-plus thousand honeybees in various hive locations in Pennsylvania and New York that were outfitted with a digital scanning system.
宾夕法尼亚州立大学的研究人员将类似的微小代码（不大于小指甲）粘贴到宾夕法尼亚州和纽约州各个蜂巢位置的约 3 万多只蜜蜂背上，并配备了数字扫描系统。
The coded bees were then scanned as they exited and entered the hives in an effort to better understand the travel and foraging habits of the species.
然后，在编码的蜜蜂离开和进入蜂巢时对它们进行扫描，以便更好地了解该物种的迁徙和觅食习惯。
Published in the journal Hardware X, the results not only saw surprising evidence of how long the tagged bees spent outside the hives and factors that dictated their travel patterns, but the tracking also yielded unexpected new data suggesting honeybees may live up to twice as long as previously thought.
研究结果发表在《Hardware X》杂志上，不仅提供了有关被标记的蜜蜂在蜂巢外停留时间以及决定其迁徙模式的因素的令人惊讶的证据，而且追踪还产生了意想不到的新数据， 表明蜜蜂的寿命可能是之前认为的两倍。
That flies in the face of many schools of thought about these environmentally crucial critters.
这与许多关于这些对环境至关重要的生物的思想流派的观点相悖。
All right.
好的。
