纽约市中心直升机坠楼引起恐慌
一架直升机于美国当地时间周一（10日）下午在纽约曼哈顿撞击一栋摩天大厦并坠毁，飞行员当场死亡。美国官方认为这是一起意外事故，但纽约人则想起了2001年同样发生在纽约的“9·11”事件。

The pilot, identified as Tim McCormack, was killed. The East Clinton, New York, Volunteer Fire Department said he served as chief there for 10 years. Before joining the East Clinton VFD, he was a member of the LaGrange Fire Department. With 15 years of experience flying helicopters and single-engine airplanes, he was certified as a flight instructor last year, according to Federal Aviation Administration records.
已确认飞行员Tim McCormack遇难。纽约东克林顿志愿消防队说他在那儿做了10年队长，加入纽约东克林顿志愿消防队之前他曾是一名拉格朗日消防队员。根据联邦航空管理局的记录，他在直升机和单引擎飞机方面拥有15年的飞行经验，去年还获得了飞行教练资格。
That model helicopter, which is used for executive travel, was flying in a restricted flight area when it crashed. Mayor Bill de Blasio said officials were investigating whether or not the chopper had received approval from flight controllers to go into the restricted zone.
该型号的飞机用于领导出行，坠毁时正在限制飞行区飞行。纽约市长Bill de Blasio说执法人员正在调查该直升飞机进入限制区域是否得到了飞行管控人员批准。
“We had a very strange, very troubling incident this afternoon here in Manhattan,” Mayor de Blasio said.
市长de Blasio说：“今天下午在曼哈顿发生了一起非常奇怪、非常麻烦的事件。”
De Blasio emphasized that “there is no indication at this time that this was an act of terror and there is no ongoing threat to New York City based on all the information that we have right now.”
de Blasio强调说：“目前没有迹象表明这是一次恐怖袭击，就目前我们所掌握的消息来看纽约市并未受到持续威胁。”
Vans推出《哈利波特》主题鞋！
Vans发布了一系列以《哈利波特》为主题的运动鞋。有4种不同的风格，名称来自霍格沃茨魔法学校的各个学院。（如果你还想不好选哪个学院，可以去哈利波特的官网pottermore做个分院测试）
外媒报道
This new collaboration capitalizes on the fact that the Harry Potter brand is still alive and well more than a decade after the final book in the series was released.
这一新的合作充分利用了哈利波特品牌经久不衰的事实，并且是在该系列的最后一本书发布十多年后才推出主题鞋。
But more than that, this Vans collection gives the brand a new level of cool. While most Harry Potter paraphernalia involves things like cheesy T-shirts and toy wands, these sneakers incorporate iconic imagery from the films and books and transforms it into stylish sneakers that might even tempt consumers who aren’t superfans.
但更重要的是，这个系列将Vans的酷范儿提升到一个新高度。虽然大多数哈利波特周边都是俗气的T恤和玩具魔杖，但这些运动鞋融合了电影和书籍中的标志性图像，并将其转化为时尚的运动鞋，甚至可能吸引非哈迷的消费者。
NASA国际空间站要变旅游景点
国际空间站现在要对企业和游客开放了。
早前特朗普政府就一直在念叨，要让国际空间站自己赚钱养活自己、不要再靠政府拨款了。
于是，现在这件事就发生了。
外媒报道
NASA just (metaphorically) whipped out a giant pair of scissors and cut the ribbon to welcome customers, because the International Space Station is ready for business and throwing open the airlocks to any company that needs to operate in low-Earth orbit.
NASA刚刚拿出一把大剪刀剪彩（一种比喻说法）开始招揽顾客了，国际空间站准备做生意了，向任何需要在近地轨道进行操作的公司开放气闸。
Representatives of 20 companies joined NASA officials onstage to launch the space agency’s new commercial plan, which allows private businesses to operate on the ISS, including “in-space manufacturing,” marketing activities, healthcare research “and more.” It also lets private astronauts visit and stay on the ISS. (Start saving your pennies!)
20家公司的代表和NASA官员一起推出了该太空机构新的商业计划，允许私人公司在国际空间站上进行操作，包括“太空制造”、营销、医疗保健研究“以及其他活动”，也允许私人宇航员参观并停留在国际空间站上。（开始攒钱吧！）
印度的奇观垃圾山越来越大了
印度的垃圾“珠穆朗玛峰”飞速增长，现在需要飞机警示灯了。
新德里的Ghazipur垃圾填埋场继续以惊人的速度增长，与伦敦桥的塔楼一样高。在一年内，它的高度将超过泰姬陵，后者是印度最具标志性的纪念碑之一。
外媒报道
Nicknamed ‘Mount Everest’ by locals, the expansive pile of fetid matter is already more than 65 metres (213 feet) tall. As India's Supreme Court recently warned, it's well overdue for some aircraft warning lights.
这个填埋场被当地人称为“珠穆朗玛峰”，大量的恶臭物质已超过65米（213英尺）高。正如印度最高法院最近出台的警告所言，已经超过需要飞机警示灯的高度了。
“About 2,000 tonnes of garbage is dumped at Ghazipur each day,” a Delhi municipal official told the AFP on condition of anonymity. That amounts to about 10 metres of growth each year.
“每天约有2000吨垃圾倾倒在Ghazipur，”一位不愿透露姓名的德里市政官员告诉法新社，其增长速度相当于每年约10米。
