Peacocks, ostriches and baboons joined in an animal baby boom at Palestinian tiny Qalqilya Zoo during the coronavirus closure as they let nature take its course.

巴勒斯坦小型動物園「蓋勒吉利耶」在疫情關閉期間，孔雀、鴕鳥和狒狒都順其自然地迎來一波動物嬰兒潮。

Fifteen animals were born during the two months that it shut its doors to visitors - three times more than usual, zoo officials said.

園方人員說，在不開放遊客的2個月間，15隻動物陸續出生，是平常的3倍。

"The coronavirus spread at the same time that trips were expected at the zoo. They were cancelled and therefore the animals started to give birth," said zoo veterinarian Sami Khader.

動物園獸醫沙米．克哈德說：「新型冠狀病毒流行期間適逢動物園觀光潮，但行程都取消了，動物就開始生產。」

The ostrich that laid eggs in normal years rarely had the chance to incubate them properly. But this year she produced 11 eggs and because there weren’t people around her, she was able to build a nest.

往年，鴕鳥產卵後很少有機會好好孵化，但今年牠不僅產下11顆卵，還能築巢，因為身邊沒有遊客。

In the monkey enclosure, usually bedeviled by miscarriages, one baboon gave birth, although she had little inclination to take care of the baby. "My father had to bring him to our house," said the vet’s daughter, Hind Khader. "I took care of him and gave him milk."

在猴科園區，經常受流產所苦的一隻狒狒順利生產，但牠沒有想要照顧孩子的傾向。獸醫的女兒辛德．克哈德說：「我父親必須把幼狒狒帶回家，由我負責照顧和餵奶。」

Working mothers in Europe and the United States are taking on most of the extra housework and childcare created by lockdown - and many are struggling to cope, a survey showed.

一份調查顯示，歐洲和美國因封鎖措施造成的額外家務和照顧小孩工作，是由職業婦女承擔，且許多女性苦於應付這些負擔。

Women with children now spend an average 65 hours a week on the unpaid chores - nearly a third more than fathers - according to the Boston Consulting Group, which questioned parents in five countries.

根據「波士頓諮詢集團」針對5個國家父母所做的問卷調查，有小孩的婦女現在平均一週花65小時在無支薪的家務雜事上—比父親所花時間多了將近3分之1。

"Women have been doing too much household work for too long, and this crisis is pushing them to a point that’s simply unsustainable," Rachel Thomas, of U.S.-based women’s rights group LeanIn.Org, said in response to the data.

設於美國的婦女權益團體LeanIn.Org人員湯馬斯回應這項調查結果，表示「長久以來，婦女一直做太多的家事，這場危機正將她們推向就要撐不下去的臨界點」。

研究人員說，婦女在許多層面受到疫情帶來的負面影響，例如家暴增加，或者有些婦女由於必須減少有薪工作來承擔這些新增加的負荷，導致薪水減少。（路透）

When Antonio Gwynn Jr. saw the damage from protests in his hometown of Buffalo, New York, he grabbed a broom, bought some trash bags and started cleaning the streets by himself.

安東尼奧．葛溫看到他的家鄉紐約州水牛城在示威過後的慘狀後，他拿起掃帚，買了一些垃圾袋，自己開始清潔街道。

He started at 2 a.m. on Monday and did not stop cleaning for the next 10 hours. When an organized group of neighbors arrived later that morning to start clearing the damage, they found that Gwynn had already done most of the work.

他從週一凌晨2點開始，不停歇地清掃了10個小時。當一個由鄰里組織的團體早上抵達，準備開始清掃時，發現葛溫已經完成大部分的工作。

Gwynn is an 18-year-old high school senior. Matt Block saw Gwynn’s story on the news and decided to give him his prized 2004 red Mustang convertible. Block said the car is one he wanted since he was a child, but these days he is only using it occasionally. He saw Gwynn ask for some car buying advice on Facebook, and Block decided to offer up his sports car.

葛溫是一名18歲的高中生。馬特．卜洛克在新聞上看到葛溫的故事，決定將自己的2004年紅色福特野馬送給他。卜洛克說，這輛車是他從小就想要的，但他最近很少用到它。當他看到葛溫在臉書上尋求買車的建議，卜洛克便決定將他的跑車送給他。

Local businessman Bob Briceland learned of Block’s gift, and he decided to extend a year of free auto insurance coverage through his insurance agency.

當地商人鮑伯．布瑞斯蘭知道卜洛克的禮物後，決定將他的保險公司提供的汽車保險，免費延長1年。

A 100-year-old Indonesian woman has recovered from coronavirus, making her the country’s oldest survivor of the deadly respiratory illness.

印尼一名百歲婦女已從冠狀病毒疾病中康復，使她成為這種致命呼吸道疾病在該國最高齡的復元病患。

Kamtim, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, was discharged from hospital this week after a month of treatment in her hometown Surabaya, Indonesia’s second-biggest city, officials said.

官員表示，與許多印尼人一樣只取單名的凱姆婷，在家鄉印尼第2大城泗水經過1個月治療，本週已經出院。

East Java Governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa said she hoped Kamtim’s story would give a boost to at-risk residents － the illness is especially dangerous for older people and those with chronic conditions.

東爪哇省省長柯菲法表示，她希望凱姆婷的故事能激勵高危人群─這種疾病對於罹患慢性病的老年人特別危險。

Born in 1920, Kamtim was taken to hospital last month after showing symptoms and she was later confirmed to have contracted the virus.

1920年出生的凱姆婷，上個月出現症狀被送往醫院，後來確診感染病毒。

Indonesia has confirmed more than 26,000 cases of coronavirus and 1,613 deaths. Researchers estimate the true number of virus infections and fatalities is several times the official toll.

印尼迄今已有逾2萬6000人確診，1613人不治。研究人員估計，實際的病毒感染與死亡人數是官方統計的好幾倍。

Diners in a Maryland beach town are bouncing back into dining out amid the coronavirus pandemic with a little help from inflatable inner tubes on wheels.

在（美國）馬里蘭州一座海邊小鎮，拜一種裝上滑輪的充氣橡皮圈所賜，食客可在新型冠狀病毒肺炎流行時，再次上餐廳吃飯。

The so-called "bumper tables" were rolled out at Fish Tales, a restaurant in Ocean City. The inflated tube tables were created to allow people to practice social distancing while eating and talking in outdoor settings.

大洋城一家名為「魚兒故事」的餐館，推出所謂的「碰碰桌」。創造出這種充氣橡皮圈餐桌，是為了讓人們在戶外設施用餐和談話時，練習保持社交距離。

The devices feature a hole in the middle to accommodate people around 1 to 2 meters tall. With wheels attached to the bottom, people can move around easily while maintaining a 2-meter distance from each other.

碰碰桌的中間開了一個洞，可容納身高1至2公尺的食客。由於下方裝有方便移動的滑輪，顧客可在與彼此維持2公尺距離的情況下輕鬆移動。

The owner Shawn Harman said he and his wife have purchased 10 bumper tables. He also plans to order 40 more tables to allow more customers to enjoy their food.

業主尚恩．哈曼說，他和妻子買了10組這種「碰碰桌」，並計畫加購40組，讓更多客人享用他們家的美食。

"If you come in to get a pound of shrimp and a beer, you can stand in one of these and walk around and look at things and talk to people."（AP）

「只要你進來點1磅蝦子和啤酒，你就能站在『碰碰桌』裡，四處走走看看、跟人聊天。」（美聯社）

For Olga Weiss, the order to stay at home is about much more than simply locking her door to the coronavirus. It has awakened fears from decades ago when she and her parents hid inside for two years from Nazis hunting down Jews in Belgium.

對歐嘉．魏斯來說，居家禁足令不僅事關閉門防範新型冠狀病毒，更喚起她數十年前與父母在比利時躲在家裡長達2年，躲避納粹搜捕猶太人的恐懼。

"It is almost an echo of when we were young, when we were children, the same feeling of not knowing what will happen next," said Weiss, 83. "We aren’t thinking about the virus; we are thinking of what happened to us" back then.

現年83歲的魏斯說，「幾乎是重演我們年幼時不知道接下來會怎麼樣的感覺」，「我們想的不是病毒，而是當年我們經歷的一切。」

Close to 400,000 survivors of the Holocaust are believed to be alive worldwide, and for many elderly Jews the coronavirus pandemic has dredged up feelings of fear, uncertainty and helplesness not felt since they were children during that dark period. （AP）

據信全球目前有接近40萬名猶太大屠殺倖存者還在世，對許多年長的猶太人來說，這場冠狀病毒大流行，重新挖出他們自孩童那段黑暗時期後，就不曾感受過的害怕、不確定和無助感。（美聯社）

The creator of the "Harry Potter" books JK Rowling said on Tuesday she would release a free online serialisation of a bed-time story she wrote for her children 10 years ago.

哈利波特系列著作的作者JK羅琳週二表示，她將在網路上免費釋出10年前寫給孩子的床邊故事集。

Rowling said she decided to pull "The Ickabog" story "down from the attic" and publish it for children forced to stay at home during the coronavirus lockdown.

羅琳表示，她決定把《The Ickabog》從閣樓裡拉出來，出版給因為武漢肺炎封鎖令，被迫待在家裡的孩子們。

She would post the first two chapters on a dedicated website on Tuesday, with 34 further instalments released each weekday until July 10.

她會在週二將前2章放在專屬網站上，其他34章會在7月10日前每週刊出。

"The Ickabog" is unrelated to any of Rowling’s other previous works, though she noted it was penned "in fits and starts" between her "Harry Potter" books.

《The Ickabog》與羅琳以前的其他作品沒有關聯，儘管這部作品是在出版《哈利波特》期間開始動筆的。

She then intends to publish the story in English in November and other languages later on. All royalties will be given to projects assisting groups particularly affected by the pandemic.

她打算在今年11月以英文與其他語言出版這部故事。所有版稅都會捐給援助團體的計畫，尤其是受武漢肺炎大流行影響的團體。

Book sales in France have soared since the country began to ease its lockdown, rocketing more than 230 percent in a week, a survey showed Monday.

一項調查週一指出，自從法國開始放寬封鎖令，境內圖書銷量也飆升，在一週內激增逾230％。

A study for the trade weekly Livres Hebdo found that from May 11 to 17 bookshops did a roaring trade, with readers desperate to stock up while public libraries remained shut.

根據貿易週刊「圖書週刊」（ Livres Hebdo）所做的調查，5月11日至17日書店銷量大增，因為讀者在公共圖書館仍持續關閉的情況下，拚命購買書籍囤積。

Many French bookshops had partially reopened in the last weeks of the country’s strict eight-week confinement for takeaway or click and collect sales.

在為期8週嚴格居家令的最後幾週，法國許多書店已局部重新開放，提供外帶或線上預定、再到店取貨的服務。

Even so, overall, sales were 60 percent down compared the corresponding period in 2019.

即使如此，總體而言，銷售額還是比2019年同期下降60％。

Despite the proliferation of online reading groups during the lockdown, the French publishing industry has been badly hit, with publishers claiming that revenues have dropped by 80 percent.

儘管在疫情封鎖期間電子書讀書會激增，但法國出版業仍受到嚴重衝擊。出版商聲稱，這段時間的營收下降80％。

U.S. President Donald Trump has made it a point of not wearing a face mask in public, but in Japan politicians and local officials have adopted stylish gear so eagerly it raised suspicions that they are doing it simply to glean more "likes" on social media.

美國總統川普刻意當眾不戴口罩，但在日本，政治人物與地方官員忙不迭地戴上具時尚感的口罩，讓人懷疑他們這麼做只是想在社群媒體上多撈一些「讚」。

Gone are the bland, white face masks that most people are used to. Politicians are adopting mask styles across a wide range of designs, while some local government officials are incorporating local features into theirs to promote their respective jurisdictions.

大多數人習慣的單調、白色口罩不再，政治人物採用各種不同設計的口罩風格，有些地方政府官員還在他們的口罩上納入地方特色，以宣傳各自的地方自治體。

Defense Minister Taro Kono appeared at the Upper House Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on May 12 wearing a face mask featuring the sun rising over Mount Fuji, set against a blue background.

防衛大臣河野太郎5月12日現身參議院外交與國防委員會時，戴著藍色背景、富士山旭日東升圖案的口罩。

Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike has worn a wide variety of designs to her daily news conferences. Some display her initial, "Y," while others are decorated with apples and rabbits.

東京都知事小池百合子在每日記者會上戴過各種各樣設計的口罩。有些口罩上面有她的名字的英文字母縮寫Y，有些則有蘋果與兔子的圖案。

The school on the outskirts of Istanbul is a rare place where Uighur child refugees from China can study their language and culture. For several, it has also become an impromptu orphanage.

位於（土耳其）伊斯坦堡市郊的某所學校，是來自中國的維吾爾族兒童可以學習自身語言和文化的少數場所。對許多人來說，那裡也成為一所臨時孤兒院。

Having fled a worsening crackdown on Uighur Muslims by Chinese government, some of their parents thought it was still safe to return occasionally for business and to visit family, only to disappear into re-education camps.

這些孩子的父母在逃離中國政府對維族穆斯林愈發殘忍的鎮壓後，以為還能偶爾回去做生意、探望家人，最後卻消失在再教育營中。

Nine-year-old Fatima has only vague memories of her homeland － and now, of her father, too. She remembers watching television with him：she wanted cartoons, but he liked watching the news especially about Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, one of the only leaders in the Muslim world willing to stand up for the Uighurs and risk China’s wrath.

9歲的法蒂瑪對家鄉只有模糊記憶，如今對父親也是如此。她記得和爸爸一起看電視，她想看卡通，但爸爸喜歡看新聞，尤其是土耳其總統雷傑普．塔伊普．艾多根的新聞，因為艾多根是穆斯林世界中，敢冒著惹惱中國的風險，為維族挺身而出的領袖之一。

Exiled Uighur activists said nearly 500 camps and prisons are used against their ethnic group in China. The overall number of inmates could be "far greater" than the one million usually cited.

流亡維族抗議人士說，有將近500所再教育營和監獄被用來關押中國維族，且被囚者可能「遠遠超過」外界常說的100萬人。

A fleet of robots on wheels that deliver shopping in the English town of Milton Keynes have seen their popularity surge as residents are stuck indoors due to the coronavirus lockdown.

一群靠著輪子行進、在英格蘭小鎮米爾頓凱恩斯運送購物貨品的機器人，受歡迎程度隨著居民因新型冠狀病毒封鎖措施無法外出而升高。

The robots, which come up roughly to an adult’s knee height and look like smooth white plastic boxes mounted on six black wheels, are a familiar sight in the town, where they have been delivering groceries for over two years.

這群機器人的高度大約到一名成年人的膝蓋，外表看起來像個裝在6個黑色輪子上的白色光滑塑膠盒，它們在這個小鎮快遞日用品已有2年時間，是當地常見景象。

But since the government imposed strict social distancing measures on March 23, the devices have been busier than ever, delivering for free to National Health Service (NHS) staff and facing increased demand from the general public.

但是，自從政府在3月23日實施嚴格的社交距離，這些裝置就比以往更為忙碌，忙著為國家醫療保健服務（NHS）員工免費快遞，也面臨一般民眾越來越大的需求量。

The robots have what looks like an antenna, topped with a small red flag to make it easier to spot them as they do their rounds. (Reuters)

Covid-19 has taken so much from us, but now it’s come for our emojis too.

武漢肺炎從我們身邊帶走許多東西，現在連表情符號也將離我們而去。

As a result of the global pandemic, the Unicode Consortium, which sets standards for digital typography, has been forced to delay the next set of updates, from March 2021 until September 2021.

受全球大流行影響，設立數位排版標準的「統一碼聯盟」（The Unicode Consortium）已經被迫將下次更新，從2021年3月延後到2021年9月。

That will have a knock-on effect for OS at Apple and Google, who will struggle to implement the new designs on their normal timescale. All of which means that 2021 might see no brand new emojis.

這還會連帶影響到蘋果與Google的作業系統，讓它們難以按照正常時間表推出新設計。這一切意味著2021年可能看不到新的表情符號。

That’s more of a hit than it might seem. On an emotional level, the rollout of new emojis is important people who want to represent themselves in the lingua franca of the 21st century. And on a technical level, the pictograms are an important carrot dangled by the smartphone manufacturers to get people to go through the effort of installing software updates, which are crucial to protect users from security vulnerabilities and hacking attacks.

這件事情的影響比表面上更深遠。從情感層面來講，新表情符號的推出，對於想要透過21世紀通用語言展現自我的人們很重要。而在技術層面上，這些符號是智慧型手機廠商懸掛的重要紅蘿蔔，藉此誘使民眾安裝軟體更新，是防止用戶遭遇資安漏洞與駭客攻擊的關鍵。

Digital surveillance and smartphone technology may prove helpful in containing the novel coronavirus pandemic – but some activists fear this could mean lasting harm to privacy and digital rights.

數位監控與智慧手機技術或許證明有助於控制新型冠狀病毒大流行疫情，但部分維權人士擔心，這可能對個人隱私與數位權利帶來長久傷害。

These moves have prompted soul-searching by privacy activists who acknowledge the need for technology to save lives while fretting over the potential for abuse.

隱私維權人士一方面承認科技對救命不可或缺，另一方面卻又對科技可能遭到濫用惶惶不安，這些行動促使他們反思。

"Governments around the world are demanding extraordinary new surveillance powers intended to contain the virus’ spread," the Electronic Frontier Foundation said in an online post.

隱私倡議團體「電子邊疆基金會」在線上貼文中指出：「全世界的政府都在要求額外的新監控權力，以遏阻病毒擴散。」

"Many would invade our privacy, deter our free speech, and disparately burden vulnerable groups of people. Governments must show that such powers would actually be effective, science-based, necessary, and proportionate."

「許多權力可能侵犯我們的隱私，阻撓我們的言論自由，對脆弱的族群帶來異常負擔。各國政府必須讓大家看到，這樣的權力真的能夠發揮效用、有科學根據、有必要，而且符合比例。」

"Everybody hopes for seasonality" when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic, Peter Juni of the University of Toronto acknowledged. Maybe, just maybe, the summer will diminish the spread of Covid-19.

（加拿大）多倫多大學的彼得．朱尼坦承，提到新冠病毒全球大流行，「人人都期盼季節性（能發揮影響力）」。也許，只是也許，夏天能夠減緩武漢肺炎的傳播。

But a new study, by Dr. Juni, an epidemiologist, and his colleagues in Canada and Switzerland, offers very little encouragement for warm-weather worshipers. In countries around the world, his research found, variations in heat and humidity had little to no effect on the spread of the pandemic. Differences in how the disease spread were instead strongly associated with public health measures like social distancing and school closures.

但病毒學家朱尼博士及其在加拿大與瑞士的同僚所做的一份新研究，給不了熱愛溫暖天氣的人太多鼓舞。他（朱尼）的研究發現，在全球各國中，他的研究發現，溫度與濕度的變化對（武肺的）全球大流行沒有多少、甚至根本沒有影響。疾病如何傳播的差異，反而與諸如社交距離與關閉學校等公共衛生措施息息相關。

One reason is that most of the world’s population has no immunity to the virus. "This means the virus doesn’t need favorable conditions" to spread, Dr. Juni said.

（入夏無助於遏阻疾病／病毒傳播的）理由之一，在於全球人口大部分對該病毒都沒有免疫力。「這意味這個病毒不需要有對它有利的條件」也能傳播，朱尼博士說。

Tear gas is among the new flavors at a Hong Kong ice cream shop.

催淚彈口味的冰淇淋，是香港一家冰淇淋店的新商品。

The main ingredient is black peppercorns, a reminder of the pungent, peppery rounds fired by police on the streets during months of demonstrations last year.

這款冰淇淋的主要食材是黑胡椒粒，能使人回想起去年好幾個月的（反送中）抗爭期間，警察在街上發射的辛辣、刺激性的催淚彈。

"It tastes like tear gas. It feels difficult to breathe at first, and it’s really pungent and irritating," said customer Anita Wong, who experienced tear gas at a protest. "It’s a flashback that reminds me of how painful I felt in the movement, and that I shouldn’t forget."

曾在示威中吞過催淚彈的客人安妮塔‧黃說：「嘗起來就像催淚彈，一開始會難以呼吸，真的很嗆辣。這讓我想起示威時感受到的痛苦，提醒我不能忘記。」

The flavor is a sign of support for the pro-democracy movement, which is seeking to regain its momentum during the coronavirus pandemic, the 31-year-old shop owner said. "We would like to make a flavor that reminds people that they still have to persist in the protest movement and don’t lose their passion," he said.

31歲的老闆說，這個口味象徵支持香港民主運動，盼敦促港人在冠狀病毒疫情下，重新找回抗爭動能，「我們希望做出一種口味，提醒人們必須在這場逆權運動中堅持下去，不要失去衝勁。」

The tear gas ice cream has been a hit. Prior to social distancing regulations over the coronavirus outbreak, 20-30 scoops were sold per day.(AP)

Their eyes are vacant, their smiles uncanny － but they’re dressed to the nines and they don’t need a reservation for some of America’s finest dining.

他們的眼神空洞，笑容詭異，但穿著正式，且不需訂位就能在美國高級餐廳入座。

A Michelin-starred restaurant in the US state of Virginia has found a fun － or creepy, depending on your tastes － way to enforce social distancing when it reopens at the end of May: costumed mannequins seated among the breathing guests.

位於美國維吉尼亞州的一家米其林星級餐廳，發現一套在餐廳5月底恢復營業時，實施社交距離的有趣—或者令人毛骨悚然，視你個人喜好而定—的方法：穿著打扮好的假人坐在真人顧客群中。

"This would allow plenty of space between real guests and elicit a few smiles and provide some fun photo ops," says chef Patrick O’Connell, owner of The Inn at Little Washington, in an e-mail to AFP.

「如此可在真人顧客之間保持很大空間，而且帶來一些笑容，並提供有趣的拍照場景」，小華盛頓酒店老闆、主廚歐康納在電子郵件中向法新社說。

Facebook has agreed to pay $52 million to current and former moderators to compensate them for mental health issues developed on the job. In a preliminary settlement filed on Friday in San Mateo Superior Court, the social network agreed to pay damages to American moderators and provide more counseling to them while they work.

臉書（Facebook）已同意支付5200萬美元，給現任與前任的審核員，賠償他們因工作造成的心理健康問題。在聖馬提歐高等法院提出的初步和解案中，這家社群網路公司同意支付賠償金給美籍審核員，並在他們的工作期間提供更多諮商。

Each moderator will receive a minimum of $1,000 and will be eligible for additional compensation if they are diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder or related conditions.

倘若被診斷出「創傷後壓力症候群」（PTSD）或其他相關疾病，每位審核員最少可以拿到1000美元，而且有資格獲得額外賠償。

In September 2018, former Facebook moderator Selena Scola sued Facebook, alleging that she developed PTSD after being placed in a role that required her to regularly view photos and images of rape, murder, and suicide. Scola developed symptoms of PTSD after nine months on the job. The complaint, which was ultimately joined by several other former Facebook moderators working in four states, alleged that Facebook had failed to provide them with a safe workspace.

2018年9月，前臉書審核員席琳娜．斯科拉控告臉書，指稱她被賦予必須經常觀看強姦、謀殺與自殺的圖片與影像的職務後，罹患PTSD。斯科拉在任職9個月後出現PTSD症狀。最終還有數名在其他4個州工作的前臉書審核員也加入，控訴臉書未提供他們安全的工作環境。
