完美的葡萄酒 'Riesling' to perfection

摩泽尔河谷的葡萄园，莱茵兰-法尔茨，德国

欢迎来到让葡萄酒爱好者梦想成真的法尔茨。位于德国西部的法尔茨以风景如画的葡萄园而闻名，这里山峦起伏，土壤肥沃，气候温暖。得天独厚的风土条件培育出了种类繁多的葡萄。除了雷司令，这里还出产霞多丽、长相思、白皮诺、米勒-图高和丹菲特等著名葡萄品种。法尔茨是德国最大的红葡萄酒产区，该地区超过40%的葡萄园所种植的葡萄都用于酿造红葡萄酒。

在法尔茨，游客可以品尝一种用葡萄酒和气泡水混合而成的饮料，名叫“Schorle”。该地区的每个产酒城镇或村庄每年都会举办葡萄酒节，展示当地的葡萄酒。在这些庆祝活动中，人们通常以混合饮料“Schorle”的形式享用葡萄酒。该地区还是世界上最大的葡萄酒节——德国的香肠集市的所在地。举办该节日的巴德迪尔克海姆镇，每年都会迎来60多万游客。所以，让我们为法尔茨人干杯吧！

Vineyards in the Mosel Valley, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Welcome to the Palatinate, a wine lover's dream come true. This wine-growing region in western Germany has rolling hills, fertile soils, and a warm climate, allowing the cultivation of a diverse variety of grapes. While riesling reigns supreme, other notable varieties include chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, pinot blanc, Müller-Thurgau, and Dornfelder. The Palatinate is the largest red wine-producing region in the country, with over 40% of the vineyards devoted to it.

Visitors can try schorle, a drink made by mixing wine with sparkling water that is a popular choice at annual wine festivals held in the Palatinate's wine-producing towns. The region is also home to the Wurstmarkt, recognized as the world's largest wine festival, held in Bad Dürkheim. It draws over 600,000 visitors every year. So, let's raise a toast to the Palatinate. Prost!

比赛开始 Let the Games begin!

夏季奥运会在巴黎开幕

今天是巴黎夏季奥运会开幕的日子。“光之城”巴黎成为继伦敦之后第二个第三次举办夏季奥运会的城市。这届奥运会的独特之处在于其开幕式：参赛选手不再站在体育场内，而将乘坐船队沿塞纳河游行，两岸观众会为之欢呼。其实，这不是巴黎第一次打破陈规了。在1900年的巴黎奥运会中，虽然在997名参赛运动员中只有22名是女性，但这是历史上第一次有女运动员参加奥运会。

自1923年塞纳河因污染和安全问题被禁止游泳后，今年的奥运会选手将首次获准重返塞纳河，参加各种游泳比赛。现在，一项耗资15亿美元的清理计划已经落实到位，以保持塞纳河河水的洁净，确保未经处理的水不会流入塞纳河，从而保证游泳者的安全。图中的新桥是塞纳河上最广为人知的地标之一。其他横跨塞纳河的华丽桥梁还包括亚历山大三世桥，它将成为巴黎奥运会马拉松游泳比赛的终点线。

Summer Olympics begin in Paris

Welcome to Paris, the City of Light, which is hosting the Summer Olympics for the third time. What makes these Games unique is the opening ceremony, which will be held outside a stadium for the first time. Participants will parade along the Seine on a flotilla of boats, passing under the Pont Neuf, pictured here, and cheered by spectators lining both banks. Paris is no stranger to historic firsts; the 1900 Games included women competing for the first time, although they made up only 22 of 997 athletes.

These Games are set to be rather special: Breakdancing will make its Summer Olympic debut in Paris. Competitors will be scored by a panel of nine judges who will look out for creativity and personality, along with other criteria. This could be a one-off, as breakdancing hasn't been included in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. The surfing event at Paris 2024 is also rather unique: the competition will take place in Tahiti, part of French Polynesia. Almost 10,000 miles away from the host city, Tahiti was chosen because the island's huge waves make it perfect for surfing.

深入其中 Into the thick of it

Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee

Fancy a walk through the Smokies in Tennessee, seen in today's image? Spanning over 522,000 acres between North Carolina and Tennessee, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a treasure trove of natural beauty and biodiversity. Home to more than 19,000 documented species, scientists estimate that tens of thousands more remain undiscovered. Miles of hiking trails wind through the dense woodlands, leading adventurers to cascading waterfalls and scenic overlooks. The park also boasts some of the highest mountains in the eastern United States, including Clingmans Dome, which rises to 6,643 feet. Visitors are often enchanted by the mist that blankets the peaks each morning, giving the park its mystical name. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an International Biosphere Reserve.

In every season, it offers a unique spectacle: the wildflower bloom in spring, vibrant foliage in fall, and serene snow-covered landscapes in winter. Great Smoky Mountains National Park is a haven for nature lovers and adventurers alike, promising unforgettable experiences and a deeper connection to the natural world.

历史的回响 Echoes of history

迈索尼城堡，麦西尼亚州，希腊

迈索尼城堡坐落在希腊南部爱奥尼亚海沿岸的岩石岬角上，是中世纪强权的象征。城堡位于麦西尼亚州一个名为迈索尼的村庄。13世纪初，威尼斯人修建了这座城堡，作为当时一个重要的贸易站和防御堡垒，它保护了西南海岸线免受入侵者的侵害。布尔齐塔是迈索尼城堡的延伸，它坐落在一个小岛上，曾通过一座石桥与主城堡相连。

从1499年至1500年的奥斯曼人到1828年的法国人，许多征服者都想夺取迈索尼的战略位置。在经历了历史的风风雨雨后，一些原始建筑仍然屹立不倒，比如城堡本身。如今，游客可以穿过士兵们曾经行军的大门，感受历史的回响。村庄的建筑风格受到了拜占庭、威尼斯和奥斯曼帝国的影响，融合了各种风格，无声地讲述着那段欧洲列强争霸的传奇历史。

Methoni Castle, Messenia, Greece

Perched on a rocky headland is Methoni Castle, a symbol of medieval might on the shores of the Ionian Sea. The fortress, on the Peloponnese peninsula in southern Greece, was built by the Venetians in the early 13th century as a trading post and defensive bastion, protecting the coastline from invaders. Its Bourtzi tower, an extension of the fortress standing on a small islet, was once connected to the main castle by a stone bridge.

Many conquerors, from the Ottomans in 1500 to the French in 1828, aimed to win Methoni's strategic position. Some original structures, like the castle itself, still stand, allowing visitors to walk through the same gates where soldiers once marched. The village's blend of architecture, with Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman influences, narrates a storied past where European powers battled for dominance.

香料岛之旅 The Spice Island escape

肯杜瓦村，桑给巴尔，坦桑尼亚

肯杜瓦村位于东非海岸的桑给巴尔群岛，这是坦桑尼亚的一个半自治区。历史上，这个宁静的小村庄在岛上的渔业中扮演着一个不大不小的角色，传统的木船（也被称为单桅帆船）在水面上划出了一道道印记，述说着这段历史。通过当地的单桅帆船制作者，人们可以欣赏到村庄代代相传的手工艺，船只经由工匠的巧手用古老的技术打造而成，代表了这个村庄坚韧的精神。如果深入当地，您还会发现繁茂的香料农场，那里的空气弥漫着肉豆蔻和黑胡椒的香味。在这里，您还能品尝到传统的斯瓦希里菜肴，如特色烤肉、椰子酱烤鱼。当来自海洋和陆地的馈赠与香料融为一体，美味就此诞生。日落时分，篝火闪烁，岛上的人们随着塔拉布音乐（一种融合了非洲、阿拉伯和印度特色的音乐）欢快起舞。这就是桑给巴尔，美食、美景、音乐等各种“生活调味品”都应有尽有。

Kendwa village, Zanzibar, Tanzania

Off the coast of East Africa in the archipelago of Zanzibar is the village of Kendwa. This serene village plays a modest role in the islands' fishing industry, with traditional wooden boats, known as dhows, etching patterns across the waters. The local dhow builders offer a glimpse into an artisanal craft that has sailed through generations. Venture deeper and you'll find lush spice farms where the air tingles with the scent of nutmeg and black pepper. Here, traditional Swahili dishes, including nyama choma, a roasted meat dish, and samaki wa kaupaka, fish with coconut sauce, blend spices with the bounty of the sea and land. As the sun sets, bonfires flicker into life and the island pulses with Taarab, a fusion of African, Arabic, and Indian music. With so much to see, Zanzibar proves that variety really is the spice of life.

到月亮上去 To the moon and back

国际月球日

“个人的一小步，人类的一大步！”今天是国际月球日，旨在纪念阿波罗11号首次实现了人类登月的梦想。这一天最初被定为“国家月球日”，并于2021年被联合国确立为一个获得全球认可的节日。几千年来，人类一直凝视着天空，思索着月亮的起源和神秘之处，太空探索的出现使得月球成为许多任务的目标。

阿波罗11号是人类首次登上月球的开创性太空任务，于1969年7月16日发射升空。1969年7月20日，宇航员尼尔·阿姆斯特朗和巴兹·奥尔德林在月球上迈出了第一步。月球日是为了纪念这一历史性事件，并提醒人们为启动太空计划所付出的巨大努力。月球任务没有发现任何生命迹象，但它可能是未来人类殖民的地点。水冰的发现，尤其是在两极黑暗的陨石坑中发现的水冰，使它更适合潜在的定居者居住。因此，在你有机会去那里生活之前，请继续在这个自古以来就吸引着人类的月球下做梦吧。

International Moon Day

Today we're celebrating small steps and giant leaps—it's International Moon Day. This day honors the legacy of the Apollo 11 mission. Initially celebrated as National Moon Day, it was recognized by the United Nations in 2021. Human civilizations have gazed at the sky for millennia, contemplating the origins and mysteries of the moon. The advent of space exploration transformed it into the target of numerous missions.

On July 20, 1969, the pioneering Apollo 11 space mission culminated in astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin taking the first steps on the moon. Moon Day commemorates this historic event, and the significant efforts required to launch the space program. Moon missions have found no signs of life, but it could be a future site for human colonization. The discovery of water ice, especially in the dark craters at the poles, makes it more hospitable for potential settlers. So, until you have a chance to live there, keep dreaming under the same moon that has captivated humanity since time immemorial.

意义深远 Deep and meaningful

珊瑚礁保护意识周

盛开的柱状珊瑚、绿色的海龟和五颜六色的珊瑚鱼，欢迎来到珊瑚礁这个欣欣向荣的水下世界。从7月15日到21日，珊瑚礁保护意识周是向他们致敬的最佳时机。珊瑚礁是由被称为珊瑚虫的微小海洋生物形成的，珊瑚虫创造了巨大的群落，为各种海洋物种提供了家园。当我们把注意力转向它们的美丽和益处的同时，认识到潜在的威胁（气候变化、污染和有害的人类活动）也至关重要。

今天的照片展示的是印度洋海面下的天堂马约特岛。这座法属岛屿拥有世界上最大、最深的泻湖之一，周围环绕着近100英里长的珊瑚礁。马约特岛的泻湖是250多种珊瑚和3500多种海洋物种的家园。但它正面临着众多威胁，包括过度捕捞和珊瑚白化（即珊瑚体内的共生藻离开或死亡，珊瑚就会变白，最终因失去营养供应而死）。因此，本周让我们共同承诺保护这些美丽的珊瑚礁！轻轻潜入水下，因为一滴水花都能惊扰到这些生灵。

Coral Reef Awareness Week

Blooming pillar corals, green sea turtles, and colorful reef fishes—welcome to the underwater universe of coral reefs. They are formed by tiny marine organisms called coral polyps, which create vast colonies housing many species. As we celebrate their beauty and benefits, it's vital to recognize the lurking threats of climate change, pollution, and harmful human activities.

This underwater scene was photographed at Mayotte, a French island region in the Indian Ocean. Mayotte boasts one of the world's largest and deepest lagoons, encircled by a coral reef nearly 100 miles long. It is home to over 250 species of coral and more than 3,500 marine species. But it is facing numerous threats, including overfishing and coral bleaching, where corals expel the algae that live in their tissues, leading to a loss of color and essential energy sources. So, in Coral Reef Awareness Week, let's pledge to preserve coral reefs like this one.

高耸入云的历史建筑 Towering with history

罗滕堡，巴伐利亚州，德国

看到这张图，你的脑海中是否浮现出了“童话”这个词？欢迎来到陶伯河畔的罗滕堡，或称“陶伯河上的红色要塞”，这里每个鹅卵石铺就的角落都散发着中世纪的魅力。在中世纪，这座巴伐利亚州的城墙小镇曾是一座自治城市，拥有6000名居民，是当时神圣罗马帝国的第二大城市。17世纪，罗滕堡的发展速度有所放缓，但仍保留了其原有的特色。图为城堡大门，它是在1356年罗滕堡城堡被地震摧毁后修建的。城堡大门内有一扇“针眼”门，其设计目的是在夜间主门关闭时作为进出城堡的唯一通道。但罗滕堡的魔力并不仅限于城墙，从维尔茨堡到富森的浪漫之路全长290英里，覆盖了巴伐利亚城堡林立的山谷。回程时，可以去凯特·沃尔法特圣诞村，这里是节日爱好者的梦想之地。所以，城堡迷们，来一场中世纪的探险吧。

Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Bavaria, Germany

Welcome to Rothenburg ob der Tauber, or 'Red Fortress above the Tauber River,' where medieval charm is around every cobbled corner. A self-ruling city in the Middle Ages, this walled Bavarian town once flourished with 6,000 inhabitants, the Holy Roman Empire's second-largest city at the time. The growth of Rothenburg ob der Tauber slowed in the 17th century, preserving its original character.

Pictured here is the Burgtor (castle gate), which was built after the original Rothenburg Castle was destroyed by an earthquake in 1356. Within the castle gate is an 'eye-of-the-needle' door, designed to be the only way in and out once the main gates closed at night. But Rothenburg's magic isn't confined to its walls. It's also a gateway to the 290-mile Romantic Road that runs from Würzburg to Füssen, covering Bavaria's castle-studded valleys.

挖掘过去 Digging into the past

斯卡拉布雷

说起节日，考古可能不是人们首先想到的，但7月13日至28日举办的英国考古节将改变这一现状。自1990年创办以来，英国考古节已发展成一个为期两周的活动。从9月到7月的巧妙转变让考古迷们更容易探索夏季挖掘工作和各种文物奇迹。今年的主题是“考古与社区”，邀请英国各地的考古爱好者参加由遗产组织、地方协会和热心人士组织的一系列现场和虚拟活动。想象一下，站在苏格兰奥克尼群岛斯卡拉布雷古老的石屋中（如图所示），这是5000多年前，新石器时代的定居者繁衍生息的地方。这座史前奇迹因1850年的一场暴风雨而暴露，因其惊人的保存能力而被誉为“苏格兰庞贝古城”，它比巨石阵甚至大金字塔还要古老。因此，拿起你的小铲子，准备深入挖掘传奇的历史故事吧。谁知道你会发现什么呢？

Skara Brae, Orkney, Scotland

Imagine standing amid Skara Brae's ancient stone houses on Scotland's Orkney archipelago, pictured here, where Neolithic settlers thrived over 5,000 years ago. Village life ended sometime around 2500 BCE and for centuries the homes were buried beneath sand and earth, until they were uncovered by a storm in 1850. This prehistoric marvel is sometimes dubbed the 'Scottish Pompeii' due to its astonishing preservation—older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids. It's part of the wider Heart of Neolithic Orkney UNESCO World Heritage Site, alongside other prehistoric survivors including the huge Ring of Brodgar stone circle. If digging up the past appeals, the Festival of British Archaeology is running July 13-28. So, grab your trowel and get ready to dig deep into the incredible, storied past. Who knows what you'll discover!
