> Anger and protests in US after deadly Memphis police beating video released
美國孟菲斯市黑人男子遭警察毆打死亡引眾怒

Protesters hit the streets in some US cities following the release of footage Friday night showing a deadly police beating of an African American man.
美國田納西州孟菲斯市當局27日晚公布了一非洲裔男子遭警察毆打的視頻，該男子最終不治身亡。此事在當地引發示威活動。

The hour-long video captured several police officers beating Tyre Nichols, 29, during a traffic stop on Jan 7 in Memphis, Tenn, where they allegedly stopped him for reckless driving.
這段時長一個小時的視頻顯示，1月7日在納西州孟菲斯市，數名警察因懷疑其危險駕駛而攔停了29歲的泰爾?尼科爾斯，并對其進行毆打。

The officers pepper-sprayed and shocked Nichols with Taser, while they can also be seen beating the motorist with a baton and kicking and punching him. Nichols, subdued, kept yelling "mom." Nichols died three days later in a hospital due to cardiac arrest and kidney failure.
警察在逮捕尼科爾斯時對其拳打腳踢，并且在過程中使用了胡椒噴霧、電擊槍以及警棍等。期間，尼科爾斯不斷呼喊母親。3天后，尼科爾斯因心臟驟停和腎衰竭在醫院去世。

The five officers involved in the death of Nichols were fired after an internal investigation and are facing criminal charges, including second-degree murder. They face up to 60 years in prison if convicted.
5名涉事警察在接受內部調查后被開除，并面臨包括二級謀殺在內的刑事指控。如果罪名成立，他們將面臨60年的監禁。

Demonstrations have broken out in cities including Memphis, Washington, D.C., New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, over the police treatment of Nichols.
包括孟菲斯、華盛頓特區、紐約、亞特蘭大和洛杉磯在內的美國多座城市爆發了針對這起事件的示威活動。

"Shame on this system," protesters chanted in downtown Washington, D.C., on Friday night.
周五（1月27日）晚上，華盛頓特區的抗議者高喊“以這個制度為恥”。

President Joe Biden said in a statement that he was "outraged and deeply pained to see the horrific video of the beating that resulted in Tyre Nichols' death." "It is yet another painful reminder of the profound fear and trauma, the pain, and the exhaustion that Black and Brown Americans experience every single day," Biden said.
美國總統拜登27日發表聲明說，看到尼科爾斯被毆打的視頻，他感到憤怒和痛苦，稱美國黑人等族裔每天都要經歷這樣的恐懼、創傷等。

> Swim Wales warns 150 swimming pools could close
能源成本飆升！英國威爾士超三成公共泳池或關門

Nearly a third of the 500 public swimming pools in Wales could close due to high energy bills, the head of swimming's governing body has warned.
英國威爾士地區游泳管理機構負責人提醒，威爾士500個公共游泳池中，近三分之一可能因高額能源賬單而關閉。

Fergus Feeney, of Swim Wales, said many needed urgent financial help from the Welsh government, and to be included in the UK's energy discount scheme.
威爾士游泳協會費格斯?費尼表示，許多游泳館需要政府緊急財政援助，并被納入英國能源賬單援助計劃。

He and not-for-profit operator Freedom Leisure said swimming pools should be classified as intensive energy users.
費尼和非盈利組織“自由休閑”表示，游泳池應被歸類為高耗能場所。

The UK and Welsh governments said they had given significant support to pools.
英國和威爾士政府表示，他們對游泳池提供了大量支持。

But a scaling back of the UK government's energy support scheme means the leisure sector is set to lose out.
但英國政府能源賬單援助計劃削減意味著休閑行業將面臨損失。

"We estimate 30% of pools could close without help," Feeney said. "They're the ones really close to the bone."
費尼稱：“我們估計，如果沒有政府援助，30%的泳池可能會關閉。”

Swim Wales said the sport was at an all-time high, with 100,000 children and 400,000 adults swimming every week in Wales.
威爾士游泳協會表示，游泳運動參與人數創下了歷史新高，威爾士每周有10萬名兒童和40萬名成年人游泳。

A tripling of energy bills in 2022 has already led to concerns about the future of many leisure centers.
2022年能源賬單翻了三倍，這已經引發了人們對許多休閑中心未來的擔憂。

Freedom Leisure runs 29 leisure centers on behalf of local councils in Wales, 20 of which have swimming pools.
“自由休閑”代表威爾士地方議會運營著29家休閑中心，其中20家設有泳池。

Jeremy Rowe, operations director, said it would cost an extra ￡3.5m to run them, even after lowering temperatures and raising prices.
運營總監杰里米?羅表示，即使在降低溫度和漲價后，游泳池的運行成本還是增加了350萬英鎊。

The Welsh government said it was "doing all it can" to help with energy bills. "We are calling on UK ministers to include leisure centers and swimming pools in its energy bill discount scheme.”
威爾士政府表示，正在“盡一切努力”幫助解決能源問題。“我們呼吁英國政府官員們將休閑中心和游泳池納入其能源賬單折扣計劃。”
