summer简单

This summer, as you enjoy your favorite neighborhood street festival, I hope you’ll remember that they exist because of community support.

今年夏天，当你享受最喜爱的社区街头节庆时，我希望你能记住，它们的存在离不开社区的支持。

Five years ago, at summer’s end, Andrew Fusek Peters was diagnosed with bowel cancer. “I was waiting for surgery, feeling really ill, sitting in my garden. It was amazing weather and there were painted lady butterflies everywhere,” he says. “They were a symbol of fragile life, of hope and defiance, and something appealed to my soul.”

五年前的夏末，安德鲁·富塞克·彼得斯被诊断出患有肠癌。“我在等待手术，感觉非常难受，坐在我的花园里。天气好极了，到处都是小红蛱蝶，”他说，“它们象征着脆弱的生命，象征着希望与不屈，有某种东西打动了我的灵魂。”

A children’s author and poet who had become a keen amateur photographer, Peters watched the butterflies and idly wondered if he could capture them in flight. It swiftly became an obsession as he recovered from a successful operation to remove the cancer. In recent summers, he has travelled the length and breadth of Britain to photograph all 58 native species of butterfly. Now the fruits of those summers have been published in a beautiful new book.

彼得斯是一位儿童作家和诗人，后来成了一名热心的业余摄影师。他看着那些蝴蝶，随意地想自己能否拍下它们飞行的样子。在成功切除癌症的手术后康复期间，这个念头很快变成了一种痴迷。最近几个夏天，他走遍英国各地，拍摄了全部58种本土蝴蝶。如今，这几个夏天的成果已汇编成一本精美的新书出版。

Nagpur’s plan, for instance, calls for hospitals to set aside “cold wards” in the summer for treating heatstroke patients, and advises builders to give construction laborers a break from work on very hot days.

例如，那格浦尔的计划要求医院在夏季预留“降温病房”来治疗中暑病人，并建议建筑商在酷热天气让建筑工人停工休息。

The Nagpur project has already created a risk and vulnerability map, which enabled Kotharkar to tell officials which neighborhoods to focus on in the event of a heat wave this summer.

那格浦尔项目已经绘制了一张风险与脆弱性地图，这使科塔卡尔能够告诉官员们，今年夏天一旦出现热浪，应重点关注哪些社区。

Chicago’s summer festivals are about more than just entertainment; they are economic engines that directly benefit the neighborhoods they’re in and the city of Chicago as whole.

芝加哥的夏季节庆不仅仅是娱乐；它们是经济引擎，直接惠及所在社区乃至整个芝加哥市。

Wicker Park Fest has long been one of Chicago’s most anticipated summer festivals, drawing upward of 70,000 attendees for a full weekend of live indie music, local art, small business vendors and, most importantly, community connection.

柳条公园节长期以来一直是芝加哥最受期待的夏季节庆之一，吸引了7万多名参与者，度过一个充满独立音乐现场演出、本地艺术、小商户摊位以及最重要的社区联结的完整周末。

A thriving summer festival season doesn’t happen by accident; it happens when we all chip in.

繁荣的夏季节庆季不是偶然出现的；只有当我们每个人都出一份力时，它才会出现。
