Nightmare on Wall Street:

US markets suffer

worst single-day decline in history

华尔街噩梦：美国股市遭遇单日跌幅最大

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 1,500 points at one point on Monday.

上周一，道琼斯工业平均指数下跌了点，超过了1500点。

It was the biggest intraday drop in history in points terms, or more than 6.0 per cent, before ending the day down 1,175.21 points or 4.6 per cent for its biggest one-day fall since August 2011.

这是历史上盘中跌幅最大的一次，跌幅超过6%，跌幅为1175.21点，跌幅为4.6%，创下自2011年8月以来的最大单日跌幅。

The CBoe Volatility index, which tracks market volatility, closed at its highest since August 2015 and was displaying its biggest single-day jump of all time (84 per cent).

CBOE波动指数，跟踪市场波动，收于去年2015年8月以来的最高值，显示其最大单日涨幅的所有时间（84%）。

The Dow also set an intra-day record drop of 1,600 points and at one point fell 800 points in a span of just 10 minutes.

道指还创下1600点的单日跌幅，在短短10分钟内下跌了800点。

The previous record drop in points took place on August 24, 2015, when the Dow plunged 1,089 points during the trading session. The biggest decline in percentage terms was on May 6, 2010, when the "flash crash" resulted in more than a 9 percent fall. Monday’s drop erased all gains by the Dow this year, with the index down 1.51 percent since January 1.

上一次下跌记录发生在2015年8月24日，道琼斯指数在交易时段暴跌1089点。最大的跌幅是2010年5月6日，当时的“闪电崩盘”导致了超过9%的下跌。星期一的下跌抹去了道琼斯指数今年以来的所有涨幅，指数自1月1日以来下跌了1.51%。

“A lot of people who have been in this market for the past three or four years have never seen this before,” said Dennis Dick, a proprietary trader at Bright Trading LLC in Las Vegas, as quoted by Reuters. “The psychology of the market changed today. It’ll take a while to get that psychology back.”

“很多过去三年或四年在这个市场上的人从来没有看到过这种情况，”路透社拉斯维加斯光明贸易有限公司的自营交易员Dennis Dick说。“今天市场心理发生了变化。要恢复以往的心理还需要一段时间。”

Bulls are saying that strong US corporate earnings, including a boost from President Donald Trump’s tax cuts, will result in the continued growth of US stock indices. Bears are expecting a market decline, saying it is over-stretched because of rising bond yields as central banks withdraw their easy money policies of recent years.

看涨者说，将导致美国股票指数继续增长美国企业的强劲收益，包括唐纳德·特朗普总统减税政策的推动。熊市者预计市场会下跌，因为央行最近几年撤回宽松货币政策，债券收益率上升，导致债券市场过度紧张。

Markets across the world followed the US decline. During Tuesday's trading, the Chinese Shanghai composite index plunged 3.35 percent, Japan’s Nikkei closed almost 5 percent down, key Western European indices fell almost 2 percent; Russia’s dollar-denominated RTS index was down 1.82 percent.

世界各地的市场跟随美国的衰落。在星期二的交易中，中国上海综合指数暴跌3.35%，日本日经指数下跌近5%，主要西欧指数下跌近2%；俄罗斯美元指数RTS指数下跌1.82%。

Elon Musk made history launching

a car into space.

Elon Musk创造历史，发射汽车入太空

There was no shortage of media from Elon Musk’s SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket launch this week. A computer-rendered animation prepared us all for the spectacle, set to David Bowie’s “Life on Mars” as a kind of galactic music video. Everything was live-streamed as it happened.

自从Elon Musk的SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket（猎鹰重型火箭）在本周发射，媒体报道不断。一部计算机生成的动画为我们展现了这样的奇景，将大卫·鲍伊的 “火星生活” 制作为一部银河音乐视频。并且现场直播了这个过程。

But the real iconic image from the launch, the one most likely to stand the test of time, is of the cherry-red Tesla Roadster that Musk embedded in the capsule of the payload rocket. A gleaming convertible floating through (actual, real) space, its wheels not spinning at all, an astronaut-suited mannequin posed, unperturbed, with its arm hanging out the side. The Earth eventually looms in the background, incomprehensibly large, seen through the windshield.

发射后真正的标志性形象，且最有可能经受住考验的时间是，是一辆樱桃红色的特斯拉跑车，由Musk将其嵌入在负载火箭的运载仓内。一个闪闪发光的敞篷车漂浮在（实际的，真实的）空间，车的轮子并没有转动，一个宇航员人体模型摆出开车的姿势，泰然自若，一只手臂悬在车边。透过挡风玻璃看到地球出现在车的背面，非常巨大。

It’s a staggering image — the first car ever in space, moving seven miles per second toward the asteroid belt — and so impressive that the video seems somehow unreal. It’s the greatest car ad of all time. What makes the image so compelling is in part its casualness, a feat carried off jauntily and successfully, with the added joke of the posed mannequin and a dashboard screen displaying “DON’T PANIC.”

这是一幅惊人的图像——第一辆进入太空的车，每秒向着小行星带移动七英里，这个令人印象深刻的视频似乎有些不真实的。但这是有史以来最棒的汽车广告。是这幅图的随意性引人注目，它展现了人们的欢快和成功，再加上趣味性地在仪表盘上显示 “不要恐慌”。

The car is merely a stunt, but the flight is truly significant. The outcome will determine what lies ahead for the Falcon Heavy: if it fails or does not achieve orbit, then it will mean some amount of reworking on the part of SpaceX, and the timeline of the rocket’s next launches will be uncertain.

这辆车不过是特技而已，但这次飞行真的很重要。结果将决定未来的重型猎鹰：如果失败或没有达到预定轨道，那么这将意味着SpaceX的一部分将返工，同时下一次火箭发射的时间线将不确定。

But if it succeeds, then the Falcon Heavy will become a commercially available rocket, ready for customers. The vehicle already has a few missions lined up: the next Falcon Heavy launch is meant to carry a communications satellite to orbit for Saudi Arabia, and a third flight will carry a bundle of research satellites, including the Planetary Society’s experimental LightSail spacecraft — meant to test out a sail that can propel vehicles through space using sunlight. That latter mission will also help certify the Falcon Heavy for use in future launches for the US Air Force.

但是，如果它成功了，那么猎鹰重型将成为一个商业可用的火箭。车辆已经有几个任务排队：接下来的猎鹰重型运载是携带沙特阿拉伯的通信卫星轨道，第三次飞行将携带一个研究卫星，包括行星协会的实验lightsail飞船，这意味着测试，人类的汽车是否能够利用阳光通过空间。最后一个任务是证明重型猎鹰是否可以用于未来美国空军发射。

Queensland heatwave:

How the state is beating the heat

昆士兰州热浪来袭：政府如何应对高温

Queenslanders are finding ways to keep their cool as the state's heatwave continues.

昆士兰州的人们正在设法降温，因为最近热浪不断袭来。

Queensland Ambulance Service's Lachlan Parker said the heat could affect people who are vulnerable.

昆士兰急救中心的Lachlan Parker说，高热可能影响到那些体质较弱的人。

"Often when the heat comes through it often sort of compounds a pre-existing medical condition and the risk patients for us are generally those elderly patients and also very young," he said.

"As best as we can tell over the last three days we've had 27 increased cases for heat-related illnesses — they range from people just being sort of general fatigue or headaches through to a little bit more serious."

他说：“通常情况下，当热量通过时，通常是一种和预先存在混合的医疗条件，我们的病人通常是那些老年患者，或是年龄很小的患者。”

“据我们所知，在过去的三天里，已经增加了27个与发热有关的病例，病情范围从一般的疲劳或头痛到更严重一点。”

Temperatures in Rockhampton hit 40C today, while further west in Central Queensland the town of Emerald reached 42C.

Rockhampton今天的气温达到40度，西昆士兰中部的Emerald镇达到42度。

Bureau of Meteorology senior forecaster Rick Threlfall said temperatures were well above average for this time of year and were still building.

气象局预报员Rick Threlfall表示，高温远远高于平均水平，每年的这个时候，气温还在上升。

"It's pretty unusual, normally we get our hottest temperatures generally a bit earlier on in the year through January, so it is a bit unusual to be quite as hot as this in February.

“这是非常不寻常的，通常我们最热的温度在一月之前早些时候，所以这不同寻常，在二月相当热。
