Today we're going to talk about shyness and discuss recent research on ways to help children learn to interact socially.

今天我们将谈论一下羞怯，并且讨论一下最近在帮助孩子们学习社会交往。

Many people consider themselves shy.

许多人认为他们自己害羞。

In fact, forty percent of people who took part in our survey said they were shy.

事实上，参加我们调查的百分之四十的人说他们自己害羞。

That’s two out of every five people.

这是五分之二的人。

And there are studies to indicate that the tendency toward shyness may be inherited.

并且有研究指出害羞的倾向也许是遗传的。

But just because certain children are timid, doesn't mean they are doomed to be shy forever.

但仅仅因为某些孩子是羞怯的，并不意味着他们注定了要永远害羞。

There are things parents, teachers, and the children themselves can do to overcome this tendency and even to prevent it.

有些事情家长，老师，以及孩子们自己能做，来克服这种倾向甚至能避免这事。

One researcher found that if parents gently push their shy children to try new things, they can help these children become less afraid and less inhibited.

一个研究员发现父母们柔和的推动他们的害羞孩子去尝试新事物，他们能帮助那些孩子变得少些恐惧和少些羞怯。

Another way to help shy children is to train them in social skills.

另一个帮助害羞的孩子们的方式是在社交技能方面训练他们。

For example, there are special training groups where children are taught things like looking at other children while talking to them, talking about other people's interests, and even smiling.

举个例子，有些特殊的训练小组，那里孩子们会被教一些东西，诸如在和其他的孩子说话的时候看着他们，谈论关于其他人的兴趣，(过程中)甚至是微笑着的。

These groups have been very successful at giving shy children a place to feel safe and accepted, and at building up their self-esteem.

这些在给予害羞孩子一个感觉安全和被认可的地方方面曾经非常成功，还有在建立他们的自尊(方面也非常成功)

Last week we talked about Anne Bradstreet and the role of women in the Puritan colonies.

Today I want to talk about some other women who've contributed to American history—some famous and some not-so-famous.

The first woman I'd like to talk about is Molly Pitcher.

第一位女性我想要谈论的是Molly Pitcher

Those of you who are familiar with the name may know her as a hero of the American Revolution.

But, in fact, there never was a woman named Molly Pitcher.

Her real name was actually Mary Ludwig Hays.

She got the nickname Molly Pitcher for her acts of bravery during the Revolutionary War.

I know you're anxious to get your permits and get started.

我知道你们急于拿到你们的许证可然后开始。

But there're just a few things I'd like to mention that might help you avoid trouble during your stay.

但有些事情我想提一提，有可能帮助你们在你们停留期间避开麻烦。

First of all, make sure you carry adequate water.

首先，一定要带足够的水。

You'll need it if you're hiking, especially in this heat.

你们将需要它如果你们徒步的话，尤其在这种炎热中。

A good rule of thumb is to bring one gallon per person per day this time of year.

Don't try to rely on the park's natural springs to supply all your water needs.

For those of you staying beyond the weekend, make sure that you set up camp well away from dry creek beds.

对于你们这些想留下度过周末的，你们扎的帐篷一定要远离干燥的河床。

We may get some heavy rainfall, and those creekbeds could quickly become filled with water, and you and all your equipment might end up washed downstream.

我们可能会遇到大雨，然后这些小河床会迅速成为充满水(的样子)，然后你和你的装备可能最终会被冲到下游去。

When you pick up your permits, you'll also get a park services booklet.

当你拿到你的许可证时，你将另外得到一本公园服务手册。

It'll tell you everything you need to know about the hiking trails.

上面会告诉你所有你需要知道的关于徒步旅行的路线。

They vary in length, of course, but most of them are under five miles—relatively easy day hikes.

当然了，它们在长度上有所不同，当时它们中的大多数是在五英里以下——相对容易的白日徒步(路线/行程)

Remember, if you're hiking solo, make sure you let someone know you're going and when they can expect you back.

记住，如果你是单人徒步，你一定要让别人知道你走了，并且他们能预期你什么时候回来。

Today I want to talk about the Earth's last major climatic shift, at the end of the last ice age.

今天我想谈谈关于地球上一次主要的气候改变，在上个冰河时代的末期。

But first, let's back up a moment and review what we know about climatic change in general.

但首先，让我们倒退一会儿，并大体上回顾我们所了解的气候变化。

First, we defined "climate" as consistent patterns of weather over significant periods of time.

首先，我们定义的“气候”是依照一致的模式，跨越了有效的时间周期的天气。

In general, changes in climate occur when the energy balance of the Earth is disturbed.

通常，在气候上的变化发生在地球能量平衡被扰乱的时候。

Solar energy enters the Earth's atmosphere as light and is radiated by the Earth's surface as heat.

太阳能以光的形式进入地球大气，并且经由地球表面以热的形式被辐射。

Land, water, and ice each affect this energy exchange differently.

陆地，水和冰，每一种(媒介)都在不同程度上影响了这种能量交换。

The system is so complex that to date, our best computer models are only crude approximations and are not sophisticated enough to test hypotheses about the causes of climatic change.

该系统是如此复杂以至于，迄今为止，我们最好的电脑模型也仅仅只是粗略的近似值，而且精度不足以检验关于气候变化原因的假说。

Of course, that doesn't keep us from speculating.

当然，这个不妨碍我们猜测。

For instance, volcanic activity is one mechanism that might affect climatic change.

例如，火山活动可能是影响气候变化的一个途径

When large volcanoes erupt, they disperse tons of particles into the upper atmosphere, where the particles then reflect light.

当大的火山群喷发时，它们撒播了很多的微粒进入上面的大气层中，于是这些微粒在那里反射了光。

Since less light is entering the system of energy exchange, the result would be a cooling of the Earth's surface.

由于较少的光进入了能量交换系统，结果会是地球表面的冷却。

Of course, this is just one possible mechanism of global climate change.

当然，这只是全球气候变化的可能的途径之一。

In all probability, a complete explanation would involve several different mechanisms operating at the same time.

很可能，一个完整的解释会牵涉几种不同的途径在同一时间起作用。
