A ban on some single-use plastics will come into force in England from October, the government has announced.
英國政府宣布，英格蘭地區從10月起將對部分一次性塑料制品的實施禁令。

To tackle the growing plastic problem, takeaways, restaurants and cafes must stop using single-use plastic cutlery, plates and bowls.
為解決日益嚴重的塑料污染問題，外賣、餐館和咖啡館必須停止使用一次性塑料餐具、碗盤。

Each person in England uses an average of 18 single-use plastic plates and 37 items of plastic cutlery every year, according to Defra, while just 10% of those are recycled.
英國環境、食品和農村事務部的數據顯示，英格蘭地區每人每年平均使用18個一次性塑料盤子和37件塑料餐具，而其中只有10%被回收。

Plastic items relating to takeaway food and drink, including food containers and cutlery, make up the largest share of litter in the world’s oceans, according to research.
根據研究，與外賣食品和飲料相關的食品容器和餐具等塑料制品，是世界海洋垃圾主要來源。

"I am determined to drive forward action to tackle this issue head on. We've already taken major steps in recent years - but we know there is more to do, and we have again listened to the public's calls," Environment Secretary Thérèse Coffey said.
英國環境大臣特蕾絲?科菲稱：“我決心推動采取行動，解決這個問題。近年來，我們已經采取了一些重大措施，但我們知道還有更多要做，我們再次傾聽了公眾的呼聲。”“這項新禁令將產生深遠影響，阻止數十億塑料的污染，有助于環保，造福子孫后代。”

Similar bans have already been made in Scotland, while single-use plastic straws, stirrers and plastic stemmed cotton buds were already banned in England in 2020.
類似的禁令已經在蘇格蘭實施，英格蘭在2020年已經禁用一次性塑料吸管、攪拌棒和塑料棉簽棒。

> Dirty Dozen 2022: Produce with the most and least pesticides
這種水果“最臟果蔬排行榜”第一名？還能放心吃嗎……

Strawberries continue to top the annual list of the “Dirty Dozen” fruits and veggies that contain the highest levels of pesticides, according to the Environmental Working Group’s 2022 Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce.
在美國環境工作組發布的2022年度農藥殘留農產品購物指南中，草莓繼續因其農藥含量最高位居“最臟的12種蔬果”榜首。

The EWG found that 99% of strawberry samples (most recently tested in 2015-16) had detectable residues of at least one pesticide, earning the fruit the No. 1 spot.
美國環境工作組發現，99%的草莓樣品（最近一批樣品檢測時間是2015到2016年）至少可檢測到一種農藥殘留，因而草莓在榜單上位列首位。

Shauna Henley, PhD, a family and consumer sciences senior agent at the University of Maryland Extension, said that the best way to wash produce depends on its surface. Use a produce brush on rough surfaces like melons and rub smooth surfaces, like apples, with your hands.
馬里蘭大學繼續教育學院家庭與消費者科學高級專員肖娜?亨利博士說，清洗農產品的最佳方式取決于它的表面。像瓜類這種表皮粗糙的水果，可以用農產品專用刷子來刷洗；蘋果等外表光滑的水果可以用手搓洗。

> Guinness World Records: Elon Musk loss $182 billion in 2022
馬斯克一年損失1820億美元，打破吉尼斯世界紀錄……

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Twitter, has broken the world record for the largest loss of personal fortune in history, according to a Guinness World Records report.
吉尼斯官網認證，特斯拉和推特的老板馬斯克因為有史以來損失了最多的個人財富，正式打破了世界紀錄。

Musk's net worth dropped from a peak of $320 billion in 2021 to $138 billion as of January 2023, a total loss of approximately $182 billion, the report said, citing figures obtained from Forbes.
該網援引福布斯的數據稱，截至2023年1月，馬斯克的凈資產已從2021年3200億美元的峰值下降到1380億美元，損失約1820億美元（約合1.22萬億人民幣）。

Musk's misfortunes also saw him lose his status as the world’s richest person to Bernard Arnault (France), founder of luxury goods conglomerate LVMH (Louis Vuitton Mo?t Hennessy), who has an estimated net worth of $190 billion.
這次財富縮水也讓他從全球首富的寶座上跌落，將交椅讓給了凈資產約1900億美元的奢侈品集團LVMH創始人伯納德?阿爾諾。

Musk’s shrinking fortune was largely due to the steep slide of Tesla shares, to which the majority of his fortune is tied up, the Guinness World Records report said.
吉尼斯官網報道，馬斯克的大部分財富都與特斯拉股票掛鉤，特斯拉表現不佳很大程度上導致了這次財產縮水。

Investors in Tesla have voiced concerns that he is spending so much time trying to right the ship at Twitter so Tesla is suffering.
特斯拉的投資者擔心，正是馬斯克花了太多時間挽回推特的頹勢，才致使特斯拉遭殃。
