A very moving piece. Next up, today is an anniversary, the 60th anniversary, the historic Supreme Court decision, Brown versus Board of education was handed down this week in 1954. It was actually five separate cases that were before the court.

非常感人。接下来,今天是最高法院历史性判决60周年的纪念日,那要追溯到1954年的本周布朗与教育委员会对峙公堂开始。实际上这是5起独立案件。

They all focused on segregation, separation by races in U.S. schools. The name Brown was for Oliver Brown, a man whose daughter wasn't allowed to attend third grade in a white elementary school in Topeka, Kansas. The chief attorney in the case was Thurgood Marshall, who'd later become the first black justice of the Supreme Court.

这几起案子都集中在种族隔离问题上,美国学校的种族隔离。布朗指的是奥利弗·布朗,这位男士的女儿不被允许升入堪萨斯州托皮卡白人小学的3年级。负责本案的首席检察官瑟古德·马歇尔后来成为最高法院的第一位黑人大法官。

The verdict was unanimous: all justices agreed that in public education, the idea of separate, but equal, didn't work. That separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. The cases started desegregation in U.S. schools.

最终法院有了一致的判决结果:所有的法官一致认为在公共教育体系中,虽然可能存在分歧,但在平等主义面前,根本行不通。种族隔离教育设施本身就是不平等的。从本案开始,美国学校的种族隔离制度开始进行废除。

Time for the "Shoutout." At their closest point about how many miles separate Russia and the U.S. You know what to do. Is it 2300 miles, 1540 miles, 90 miles or 50 miles? You've got three seconds, go!

又到了大喊答题节目环节。俄罗斯和美国最接近的时候大约相距多少英里。你知道该做什么。是2300英里,1540英里,90英里还是50英里?你有3秒钟,3,2,1,大声喊出你的答案吧!

The Bering Strait which separates Alaska and Russia, is just over 50 miles wide at its narrowest point.That's' your answer and that's your shoutout.

将阿拉斯加和俄罗斯分开的白令海峡,最窄处只有50英里宽。你回答对了吗?这就是本期的大喊答题节目环节。

China has an ambitious idea that connects itself with the U.S. By railroad. And this is where the Bering Strait comes in. The high speed railway would start in northeast China, it'll run through the Russian region of Siberia, connect with Alaska through a tunnel under the Bering Strait and head south through Canada to reach the U.S.

中方对于通过铁路将自身与美国连接有着远大理想。这便是白令海峡的由来。这条高速铁路将在中国东北开始,然后贯穿俄罗斯的西伯利亚地区,通过白令海峡下的一条隧道与阿拉斯加相连,之后向南通过加拿大到达美国。

The trains would travel at more than 200 miles per hour. Experts say they'd cover about 8,000 miles over two days.

火车的时速每小时将超过200英里。专家们表示2天约行驶8000英里。

China would paint to build it. But-and that's a big one, it's not clear if China's railway industry has the money. It is not clear if this is needed as many travelers just fly. And Chinese engineers say the Bering Strait Tunnel would need to be 125 miles long, that's four times longer than the tunnel under the English Channel. Engineers have never built something like that before. This project is just in the discussion phase for now.

中方将负责进行建造。而这就是问题所在,目前还不清楚如果中方铁路行业的资金是否充足。还不清楚是否需要尽可能多的旅行者。而中方工程师称白令海峡隧道需要125英里长,是英吉利海峡下隧道的4倍。工程师以前从来没有建造这样的东西。这个项目目前只是在讨论阶段。

Also, getting a lot of discussion, Russia says it's going to quit using the International Space Station four years earlier, and that would affect the U.S.'s ability to get to it. This likely has to do with the crisis in Ukraine. The U.S. has penalized Russia economically for its stance on Ukraine's crisis. Russia may be retaliating by ending its space station mission.

同时引发更多讨论的是俄罗斯表示将提前4年停止使用国际空间站,这将影响美国访问该空间站的能力。这可能与乌克兰的危机有所关联。美国就俄罗斯对于乌克兰危机的立场采取经济惩罚措施。俄方可能以结束其空间站使命为由进行报复。

Final farewell.

最后的告别。

They were all smiles in the International Space Station this week, but could this be one of the last times that American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts joining together through space.

本周在国际空间站他们都是满面笑容,但这可能是美国和俄罗斯宇航员在太空进行的最后一次对接。
