I mean, I’d have to be dead or completely incapacitated. 被网有调侃为“价值三十亿美金的名画” 于是第三次发射被提上议程： “这枚400英尺高(122米)的巨型火箭计划于美国东部时间周四上午8点(北京时间周四晚8点) 开始的110分钟窗口期（launch window）任意一个时间内，从Space X 位于德克萨斯州博卡奇卡的Starbase发射升空。” 当然，发射全过程也有在社交媒体X和其官网同步直播，不知道昨天有观看的小伙伴吗？ The time has come for Starship to embark on its third test flight, during which the megarocket will once again be pushed to its limits and demonstrate advances made since the previous flight last November. The 400-foot-tall (122-meter) megarocket is scheduled to blast off from SpaceX’s Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas, at roughly 8:00 a.m. ET on Thursday, March 14, with a 110-minute launch window available. The company’s livestream will be made available on X and its website, with the broadcast starting at 7:30 a.m. ET. Of course, this is contingent on favorable weather conditions. 如果你好奇什么是 SpaceX, 它是做什么的，为什么这么重要...相关阅读欢迎点击下方音频或者查看下方文稿了解哦~ Hi everyone, and welcome back to Geek Time. 欢迎回来【极客时间】. Hi, Brad. Hi, Lulu. So in today's Geek Time, I thought we continue to talk about Elon Musk. All right. Because he's done a lot of really outstanding things. I mean really out-there things, right? You know, people, even if you’re not into science technology, you've heard of things like SpaceX, Starlink, 什么星链呐SpaceX,还有像各种各样的这种rockets, I thought we can start with SpaceX, what does it actually do? And why is it so impressive? Well. A SpaceX was a company, it was started in 2002. The whole reason was there was a competition, and that competition was to design a rocket that could be sent into space and then reused within 2 weeks. And SpaceX was able to win that competition, but that the whole idea is to reduce cost for putting things into space. They are often referred to as a payload, but just something like people or in a satellite or parts for the space station, and do it in a cost effective way. 对, 那个叫载荷吧, 就是那个 payloads. So this was started by what, the US government, you said this competition? I don't remember if the government started, but like the government wanted this, because NASA, NASA could do a lot, but they had to have other people looking at us. NASA is kind of limited as to what it can and can't do. And so they wanted more of like the private sector to go out and start doing some of this stuff as well. And so this whole competition was created as a way to get that going. So basically, private companies like SpaceX they were competing in trying to make fully reusable rockets? You said reusable within 2 weeks. Right. What about the cost? Do they also reduce cost? That's the whole point. It's like if you can reuse the rocket, then you can reduce the cost by a lot. SpaceX has been able to get their rocket launches down to about or 67 million per launch, which is 10 times cheaper than what NASA has been able to do this far. Wow, 10 times, mainly because the rockets are reusable or immediately reusable. I see. I see.

I've been having the hardest time trying to decide whether I wanna talk about this word or not. 其实这个词我一直都想讲, 但一直都在犹豫, 主要是因为这个词后面的争议太大, 而且它的倾向性和内涵一直都在变迁。 虽然它是美国乃至英语国家, 甚至整个西方都在谈的一个热词, 但是你问10个人10个人都可能给它下不同的定义, 会告诉你不同的看法。 But anyhow, I'm gonna take a step at it. First of all, what does it mean literally? Woke is not standard English. 首先它不是标准英语, it is an adjective derived from AAVE, African American Vernacular English. 它是非裔美国人, 也就是美国黑人他们的口语表达里面的一个词。只要你学过小学英语, 你都学过 wake, wake up, wake醒过来, 这个词的过去式是woke, 它的过去分词是woken. But in some varieties of African American English, woke is used in place of woken. 它最早的字面意思就是在African American的英语里面, 他们会用woke来代替woken这个词; 后来这个词就逐渐的从过去分词的一个变体变成了一个adjective, equivalent to awake. 像我们说stay awake就是保持清醒的状态, 现在woke它的字面意思, 你可以把它理解为清醒状态, 但是我们一般把它翻译成 “觉醒/警醒”. The phrase “stay woke” has been present in African American English since the 1930s. In some context, it refers to an awareness of social and political issues affecting African Americans. 这个词在逐渐的演化中, 就从最早的简单的awake, “清醒的觉醒的”词的本意延伸到美国黑人文化里对系统性种族歧视 “ systemic racism”保持清醒和警惕, 这也是为什么我们把它翻译成 “警醒”或者 “觉醒文化”. But that's not all of it. During the 2014 Ferguson protests, the phrase was popularized by Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists seeking to raise awareness about police shootings of African Americans. 本来这个词它是没有进入mainstream主流的英语语境, 仅限于在黑人群体中的小范围使用; 但到了2014年, Ferguson protest是因为有一位美国黑人被白人警察射杀, 这个事件掀起了弗格森地区的抗议浪潮, 所以当时在社交媒体上#staywoke, “#保持警醒”话题标签就开始火了起来. 当时主要是为了呼吁人们关注这样的一个系统性种族歧视的现象. Over time, it gained so much popularity, it became increasingly connected to matters beyond race, such as gender and identities perceived as marginalized. 不过随后woke这个含义从简单的 “黑人反抗种族压迫” 进一步扩大, 它的政治和社会意义内涵, 开始从 “种族不平等”延伸到 “性别、跨性别者、环保主义、堕胎、性骚扰”等等社会话题, 在美国逐渐就演变成了一场文化战争, 这也是为什么英语里有wokeism, 可以把它理解为 “觉醒主义”或者 “觉醒运动”. Now the term became popular with millenniums and members of Genz, 特别受千禧一代和Z世代的欢迎, 相当于中国的85后、90后、95后、00后这么几代人。 As its use spread internationally, woke was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2017. Wokeism也逐渐超越了美国的国境, 蔓延到其他英语国家乃至世界上很多其他的国家。 所以2017年它也被作为形容词, 收入了牛津字典。 So far, this is understandable. But this is when it gets tricky. 但是在woke这个词进入主流英语之后, 它的感情色彩却发生了很微妙的变化。 By 2020, many on the political right and some in the center in several Western countries began using the term sarcastically as a pejorative for various leftist and progressive movements and ideologies. Wokeism或者Woke这个概念本来就是比较偏激进派、偏左的这样的一个思潮, 所以到了2020年, 很多偏右甚至偏中间的这些组织或者党派, 他们开始用woke这个词来讽刺一些过于激进或者是这种过度追求政治正确的人。 Some argue that this is because the term has been co-opted by mainstream culture and stripped off its original meaning and power. 有的人就说这是因为Woke的内涵, 它迅速的泛化, 进入主流社会, 致使很多人虽然不清楚这个词本来表示什么, 但是他们会把这个词泛泛地用在他们自己认为的各种歧视或者不公现象, 这个时候他们就可以高举 Wokeism警醒的这面大旗, 并且对于他们认为不够woke的人占据moral high grounds, 道德高地。 正是因为这种概念的泛化和woke追随者的这种self righteousness, 自以为是道德高地的这种态度, 反而令woke这个本来应该很有力量的词引发了大量的反感. People are starting to watch out for what they say so that they don't get blamed and attacked for not being woke enough, especially in the United States where this concept of woke originated. It has been used in political fights, 特别是在美国这个词还被用来作为党争的工具, the Republican Party representatives, including Trump, and some senators, they are actually calling people who embrace wokeism as the woke mob. 甚至共和党里的一些言论, 他们会把 wokeism觉醒主义的这些人称为woke mob, 叫做所谓的 “觉醒暴民” 。 所以可以说短短几年间曾经被众多的美国年轻人用作觉醒号角, 在社交媒体上充当进步徽章的这个词woke, 如今很多时候都会在贬损和戏谑的语境里才会被使用。

They even have competitions for barista art. Kind of when they make the really nice patterns, pictures… Latte art. Yeah, the latte art. The latte art咖啡拉花的那个东西. Yeah. But back to espresso, I remember because I went to Italy so many times. It's very interesting to see Italians on their way to work in the morning. And then they would pop into a café, but they would never sit down. They would just pay at the bar at the counter, and then just get an espresso and drink it, or a double espresso. Well, actually, vice versa. They'll order a drink, first drink it, then they pay. Oh, okay. But the reason for that is that in Italian cafés, if you sit down, the coffee is more expensive. Yeah. I’m always the dumb-dumb. It's a good way of saving money. If you just want a quick coffee in Italy, you have to stand at the bar. It's a bit cheaper. It's only maybe like a Euro or just slightly more than a Euro. And then you can just drink your coffee and off you go. Yeah, but can't you just go like, do it like in Starbucks, and just order one to go and just… Oh,no no no no no no no… Why? Coffee on the go is just not done in Italy. Okay. It's actually called an American. If you order a coffee to go, then it's pretty much saying I am a tourist. Wow. They look at me, they know I’m a tourist, so… Well, yeah, true. But that's the thing what we would consider as a regular coffee in Britain or in America is called an Americano. Americano is basically just black coffee with… It's espresso. With water. Water down with hot water. The reason why it's called an Americano is that when the Americans during the World War II went to Italy, they couldn't drink the local coffee cause it was too strong. So what they did was they added hot water to it and that became an Americano. Oh, I could imagine the local Italian barista would just be like you're a Yankee, you're an American. That's what you guys would order. So Americano, here’s for you Americans. Exactly. Interesting. 所以为什么叫美式. So this is Italy. Oh, one thing I do want to mention, it's... I used to go to Italy in hot summers. So sometimes I would want to drink like an ice coffee, although I don't really drink coffee. But so when I’m thinking about ice coffee, I was really thinking about like an ice latte or an iced cappuccino. But I just order iced coffee and it turns out just like a very sweetened espresso. Yeah, exactly. I love ices espresso, and I love cold coffee as well. Okay, so that's a little bit about Italians. I think there's also very strong coffee culture in Arabic countries.

So far we've talked about the history of feminism, workplace stereo types, and shared with you stories of some truly fascinating women. So what are we gonna talk about today？ When it comes to anxiety we face as women on a pretty regular basis, I'm sure a lot of you will agree that one major source of anxiety is related to body image. In other words, do I look good enough？Especially in this day and age, for a woman, looking good is almost seen as a requirement rather than an option. Go on any social media platform, you'll see countless influences trying to show off their perfect body; and even more of them trying to teach you to secrets to attain that perfect body through all sorts of exercise, diet and products. 近年来火遍社交媒体的什么A4腰，漫画腿，锁骨养金鱼等等，都是刷出了一波又一波的焦虑。 It's pretty difficult not to fall victim to these increasingly harsh standards. But a thing is, when we talk about the ideal body, we sometimes tend to forget that the idea of beauty is not only subjective but constantly changing. So in today's episode, I'm going to take you back in history, take a look at the changing standards of female beauty in the west. 今天的酒馆里，璐璐就带你看看西方历史上那些不断峰回路转的对于完美女性身材的定义。 Let's start with prehistoric times. Some of the earliest known representations of a woman's body in the west are the 'Venus figurines'. These are small statues from over 20,000 years ago in Europe. These figurines usually portray round, pear-shaped women's bodies, many with large breasts, large hips, and large everything symbolizing fertility, the ability to have many babies. And moving on to Ancient Greece and Rome. The ideal female body should be slim but robust. So you have to have some strength, high, round, useful breasts.

You may not have heard of this word before, but you have definitely experienced hustle culture. So hustle culture describes a common, modern workplace environment that emphasizes hard work and long hours as the key to success. 是不是听起来很熟悉？这个Hustle culture就是指的这么一种现代的职场文化, 它的重点就是hard work and long hours，要取得成功, 你就必须要拼命的工作, 用高强度不断加班这样子的去“卷”才能够获取成功. Hustle culture可以翻译成“搏命文化”, “鸡血文化”或者你直接就说卷的文化. It's become increasingly popular in recent years. With many companies encouraging their employees to put in extra effort and work hours for better results. 其实这个Hustle Culture还真不是只有咱们这儿有, 要不然英语里也不会出现这个词了. Let's dive into the word a little bit more, what exactly is this Hustle Culture? Well, this hustle culture places an intense focus on productivity, ambition, and success. 它所关注的重点就是productivity生产力, ambition野心,和成功success. With little regard for rest, self-care, or any sense of work-life balance. 至于什么休息, 自我关怀或者什么所谓的work-life balance, 工作生活的平衡, 统统都不在意. Now this lifestyle has become increasingly popular in recent years as people strive to achieve their professional goals faster and more efficiently. Despite its popularity though, this mindset has been linked to mental health concerns, like increased anxiety, stress and depression, which we're gonna talk about later. But first of all, you might ask why is hustle culture glorified if it has so many problems, 既然它听起来就有很多问题, 那么为什么它会被吹捧呢？

Jokes aside, what are we gonna talk about today? Well. Today I thought we'll choose a topic that means a lot to me, it's very close to my heart. 安澜喜欢的话题, old books, really really old mildew books? No. Scotch? No. Oh. Then there's only one thing left, coffee. Yes. So today I thought let's talk a little bit about coffee. Now the reason why I have chosen coffee apart from the fact that I am completely addicted to coffee. I know Lulu that you don't drink coffee. I can’t. I physically cannot drink coffee. No idea how you can survive. I guess I just drink. So… Okay. Fair do. If you know us very well or know me very well, you probably heard me mention on several occasions that I don't really drink coffee, or can't really drink coffee, because I get pretty bad heart palpitations. And if I don't drink coffee, I actually feel physically unwell. I am very, very addicted to coffee now. 就是我是那种喝不了咖啡的体质,会心动过速, 然后安澜是那种特别典型的, I think many Europeans are like that, you guys get... are so addicted to coffee, you literally get coffee headaches if you don't drink coffee. Yeah. The first thing I do in the morning is make myself a coffee before anything else. If you're in a place where coffee is not available? Woo. That doesn't happen. Even if I go somewhere, if I go into the countryside, for example, I love going into the outskirts of Beijing. I always take coffee with me. You know. Years ago, I remember when I was in Germany and I went into like a, I don't know, I needed to do some procedural thing and I went into like an office, like a functional office. And then I saw the poster on the wall, saying “there's no life before coffee”. And I tested that to be true, because I was talking to the person working there. Obviously, she didn't have her coffee. And she was filling in the form about me, and she looked at me, and she felt in gender as “unknown”. Hahaha… So what it does... That could be coffee, that could be other reasons, but I’m not gonna be rude. So coming back to the topic, why did you choose this topic apart from the fact that you're so addicted to coffee?

Hi, Brad, I’m doing fine, and I’m ready for our talk about Brain Chipping. All right. So I thought we'd start off by talking about Neuralink, which is Elon Musk’s company. He is creating brain chips that people can use. The whole idea for him is to use like these chips to control devices really like IoT devices or to help people with their motor skills, their cognitive issues. Yeah, just to remind our audience. IoT is internet of things we actually talked about this “物联网”. So it's like all of these things that are connected within a network, right? So using brain chipping, I guess you can control all of those devices. Yeah, so rather than having to say serious name or to any of your home systems, you can just rather than say something, you can think it, and you can control it that way. Yeah, so I think I want my room to be warmer and immediately my brain, this chip in my brain will help control the temperature of the room because it's linked with my smart aircon. Exactly. That sort of idea. These chips aren't just meant for controlling IoT devices. They're also used for helping people with medical issues. They can help people who have problems with motor skills, help people with vision problems or other issues with senses, whether it's hearing or anything like that. And he's already started to do trials not on humans, but on monkeys. So human trials haven't started yet. He is in the process of getting those human trials going. He's accepting applications, but there's a little bit of issue, because some of the monkeys in the trials didn't exactly behave to the way they would. Some of them got sick, because of the brain chips and so may not be ready for human trials. Yeah. To be honest, I know everyone talking about Elon Musk, especially people who really, really love him, really look up to him. There was obviously they always say he's such a visionary, he's a man with vision. But the other way of looking at it is so progressive in a way that sometimes I think that there's a lot of ethical issues, ethical concerns to be hammered out before going further whatever his vision is. Mhm. Yeah, you have to wonder how this is gonna affect people. Are people actually going to be able to maintain their sanity? Are they gonna be healthy? There's a lot of issues that can come because of this. And so we do have to make sure that people aren't going to get sick after we put a chip in their brain.

What did she tell you?” “The weather has been nice this year.” Holmes calmly replied. “You will not distract me! I know who you are. You are Holmes the meddler! Holmes the busybody!” Holmes laughed as he said, “you are very entertaining my dear doctor. Please close the door when you leave.” “I will leave when I have finished! Do not interfere in my affairs. I am a very dangerous man and you will regret it!” Dr. Roylott shouted as he stormed out of the room. When that brute finally left the room, Holmes laughed. “What a delightful gentleman!” Holmes chuckled. “I just hope that Miss Stoner is safe.” “Anyways, let’s order breakfast, Watson. Then I shall walk downtown. I’ll need some facts before we do anything else.” It was one o’clock when Holmes got back. He had a blue paper in his hand. It had notes and numbers all over it. “I have seen the will of Dr. Roylott’s wife,” he said. “She left a thousand pounds, all right. But each girl was to get two hundred and fifty pounds when she got married. If the girls died before getting married, Roylott would get all the money. So you see why Dr. Roylott wanted Julia and Helen dead.”

Have you heard of brain chipping? Brain chipping. It doesn't mean chipping your brain. It means linking your brain to a chip? Yeah, putting a computer chip in your brain and connecting the two. 好像叫大脑芯片. I don't think this is... as an idea, as a concept, this is not new. I'm definitely seeing them in sci-fi films or TV shows or books. Oh yeah. It's not a new idea, but it's something that's actually been in the news a lot lately because of Neuralink and they're trying to actually brain chips into real life. Elon Musk again, Musk的公司 Neuralink, 公司之一, 就在做 brain chip的尝试, 把它从科幻变成现实. So that brings a lot of controversy, a lot of discussion and debates. This is what we're gonna explore in this and the next episode. So when you say brain chip like you said it literally is connecting a computer chip to your brain. Like how... through some sort of interface? I'm trying to imagine that. So your brain has a lot of nerve connections and a lot of tissue that connect it to your body. Doctors have started to figure out how to connect something to your brain using those connections. When you think about it, your eye is connected to your brain and they're starting to develop ways to connect artificial eyes that should be able to see things. It's all just a matter of finding a way to interface a chip with using an electrical pulse that goes into your brain and then sending that signal back to the chip. I see. So not necessarily implantation. Yeah, implantation. So in order for it to connect to your brain, you would probably have to actually implant it. You're doing tests... Yeah, implanting that into your brain. I see, I see. And you mentioned doctors, so I'm assuming this whole idea, this whole progress initially, at least was aiming to solve some medical problems? Yeah. There's a lot of issues that stem from issues with your brain, and people have Alzheimer's or they have other memory issues that might benefit from use of these devices. 可以搜索公号【璐璐的英文小酒馆】或者添加【luluxjg】咨询课程or加入社群，查看文稿和其他精彩内容哦~

Hi Lulu, how are you doing? Hi, Brad. I'm ready to continue our talk about bunkers. Now have you heard about some regular people building their own bunkers? Only my friends. On YouTube right now, there's a really popular guy who's building his own bunker underneath his house. in America? Yes, in America. I think there might be a few people in the UK doing it as well. All right. Is that even legal? Technically if you don't have permits, it's not legal, but some people actually will go out and get permits for these kind of things, but a lot of people will probably just build it without going out and getting any type of permit for their bunker. If you're going out to get the zoning permit for your bunker to hide away from the world, wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose? Because then everybody would know you're building a bunker. That is technically true. Everyone would know that where your bunker is, but that's only if they went and did research and went to like the government office and saw whoo this person has a bunker, we should go to their house. Most people probably wouldn't do that. But really savvy people probably would look for the bunkers from rich people, because they know they would actually have something worth stealing in their house. That is really sad. So you mentioned as YouTuber, like an influencer, creating his own bunker. And I'm assuming he's live streaming it.

Holmes was standing by my bed. He was already dressed. I looked up at him in surprise. My clock showed that it was only seven. Holmes generally got up late. “Very sorry to wake you up, Watson,” he said. “What is it?” I asked. “A fire?” “No. It is a young lady. She just came in. She says she must see me. It looks like an interesting case, Watson. I thought you would be interested.” “My dear Holmes, I wouldn’t miss it for the world”, as I jumped excitedly out of bed. I put on my clothes. In a few minutes I was ready. We went down to the sitting room. A lady got to her feet. She was dressed in black. We saw that her face was gray. Her eyes looked like those of a hunted animal. “Good morning,” said Holmes. “My name is Sherlock Holmes. And this is Dr. Watson. He is my dear friend. Please tell us everything. But first of all, you are shivering. Shall I order some hot coffee for you?” “It is not cold that makes me shiver,” the young lady quietly responded. “What is it then?” Holmes responded. “It is fear, Mr Holmes. It is terror.” I could the fear in her eyes and noticed that even though she was only thirty, her hair was already started to turn grey. “Do not fear my dear lady,” Holmes soothingly said, “you are quite safe. Please tell us your story.” “My name is Helen Stoner,” said the lady. “I am living with my stepfather. His name is Dr. Grimesby Roylott. He is the last living Roylott. The Roylotts have been at Stoke Moran for hundreds of years.” Holmes nodded. “I know the name,” said he.

I mean it's going and it has been some time since last time we actually talked about geeky stuff. Yeah. I don't remember. Yeah, I hope life's treating you well. Life's treating me pretty good, no problems. But have you seen some of the latest news? I mean that is actually a topic that I would like to propose today. Have you seen people like Zuckerberg and all those tech gazillionaires in the world? It seems like there's now a trend among these people to build some sort of underground bunkers. 就是现在做那个地堡, 什么像扎克伯格他们都开始做那种好像是末日地堡那种感觉. Have you been following these news? Of course I know about the lizard people on their underground bunkers. Guys, if you don't remember the lizard people, Brad and I were actually talking about this whole conspiracy theory, or maybe not. 原来我们说那个阴谋论里面就说有一个谈到 lizard people, reptilian people that are actually in control of the world. So I thought let's talk about bunkers. That sounds very good. Yeah. First of all, what is a bunker? Bunker. I thought bunker was first used in, I don't know, in some sort of shelter during wartime. Aha. Like a lot of times during war, leaders would be in bunkers if there was any issues, really any like front lines near them, they would definitely hide in bunkers, because that's how they would make sure to stay away from being bombed basically. So initially was like anti bombing. Right. I see. Because if you read history or if you watch some historical films or documentaries, you see like Hitler in bunker in his bunker and also Churchill in his bunker. Yeah. Like a lot of people they wanna have a bunker could be for something crazy like a nuclear fallout if there's ever a World War III that includes nuclear weapons, you can see that in the video game series that's really popular, the fallout series. The fallout. Like lizard, yeah, in the series everyone is going to live in bunkers, and then after decades, people escape to the surface, and that's basically how the game takes place. Fallout是一个挺老的游戏叫辐射. I think some of you, if you're older, you probably have heard of that, but they're bringing a new TV series in... this year, based on that game, I think. Yeah. So that whole premises is all nuclear apocalypse核末日这种, right?
