1 / Wimbledon cancels tournament
2020年溫網(wǎng)因疫情取消
The Wimbledon Championships 2020 has been canceled due to public health concerns linked to the coronavirus epidemic, the All England Lawn Tennis Club said on Wednesday.
全英草地網(wǎng)球俱樂部4月1日表示,由于新冠肺炎疫情引發(fā)公共衛(wèi)生擔(dān)憂,2020年溫布爾登網(wǎng)球錦標(biāo)賽取消。
The Grand Slam tennis tournament, which was scheduled to take place from June 29 to July 12, will now be staged from June 28 to July 11, 2021.
這一原定于今年6月29日至7月12日舉行的大滿貫賽事將改期至2021年6月28日至7月11日舉行。
It marks the first time in 75 years that the grasscourt Grand Slam will not be held after World War II prevented organizers from holding the tournament between 1940-1945.

2 / Nature takes back empty streets
野生動物現(xiàn)身隔離城市
As humans retreat into their homes as more and more countries go under coronavirus lockdown, wild animals are slipping cover to explore the empty streets of some of our biggest cities.
隨著越來越多國家因?yàn)橐咔槎扇》怄i措施,人們閉門不出,野生動物開始從隱蔽處走出來,到一些大城市空蕩蕩的街道上轉(zhuǎn)悠。
Gangs of wild turkeys have been strutting the streets of Oakland, California, while a puma turned up in the center of the Chilean capital, Santiago, which is under curfew.
成群的野火雞在美國加州奧克蘭的街道上大搖大擺地走,一頭美洲獅則出現(xiàn)在宵禁后的智利首都圣地亞哥的市中心。
"This is the habitat they once had and that we've taken away from them," said Marcelo Giagnoni, the head of Chile's agricultural and livestock service. With the hunting season suspended in several European countries, this promises to be a spring and possibly a summer of love for the animal kingdom.
智利農(nóng)牧服務(wù)部主任馬塞洛·加格諾尼說:"這里是美洲獅原來的棲息地,后來被我們奪走了。"由于好幾個歐洲國家的狩獵季都中止了,這個春天(可能還有夏天)將是動物王國的戀愛季。
However, there are also downsides to the lockdown for nature. Work to limit invasive species has been all but halted, cautioned Loic Obled of the French biodiversity office, as well as that to help endangered species. Birds that have nested in the yard of an abandoned school or factory will find themselves disturbed, he warned. Nature's respite from man may be rather short-lived.
不過,封鎖期也有不利于自然的一面。法國生物多樣性辦公室的盧瓦克·奧布萊提醒道,限制侵略性物種和幫助瀕危物種的工作也停下來了。他警告說,在無人的學(xué)校或工廠院子里筑巢的鳥將受到侵?jǐn)_。大自然休養(yǎng)生息的時間可能會相當(dāng)短暫。
