2015 was the most dangerous year on record for people around the world trying to protect their land and the environment. That's the conclusion of a new report from the campaign group Global Witness. It says Brazil was particularly badly affected with at least 50 people killed protecting forests and land from illegal loggers and miners.
對于世界各地試圖保護自己的土地和環(huán)境的人來說，2015是有史以來最危險的一年。這是“全球見證”（Global Witness）這家活動組織的新報告得出的結(jié)論。根據(jù)這項報告，巴西受影響尤為嚴重，至少有50人為保護森林及土地不被非法伐木者和礦工破壞而死亡。
After a five-year space journey, NASA's Juno probe has arrived at its destination. No previous spacecraft has passed so close to Jupiter before because of its intense radiation. Now that it's orbiting Jupiter, Juno will start studying how the gas giant was formed. The probe will circle the planet for 20 months before destroying itself by diving into the radioactive atmosphere.
在為期5年的太空飛行后，美國國家航空航天局的“朱諾”探測器已抵達目的地。因木星周圍輻射很強，此前沒有任何一架航天器能與它如此接近。鑒于“朱諾”現(xiàn)已繞木星軌道運行，它將開始研究這顆氣態(tài)巨星是如何形成的。探測器將在接下來的20個月里繞木星飛行，然后沖入放射性大氣層進行自毀。
