好莱坞削减'亲密戏'防疫
Starting June 12, Hollywood can resume film and TV production, California governor Gavin Newsom announced.
美国加州州长纽森宣布，从6月12日起，好莱坞可以恢复电影和电视制作。
Hollywood's labor unions and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers joined forces to release a white paper last week, outlining their recommendations for how to safely resume film and TV production.
上周好莱坞工会和电影与电视制片人联盟联合发布了一份白皮书，概述了恢复电影电视制作的安全建议。
"Certain activities such as fight scenes or intimate scenes increase the risk of transmission," according to the white paper.
根据白皮书，某些活动，比如打戏或亲密戏份，会增加病毒传播的风险。
"When maintaining physical distancing is not possible...contact must be kept to the shortest amount of time possible."
虽然不可能在拍摄中保持安全距离，但是身体接触的时间须尽可能缩短。
The white paper mentions the use of live studio audiences during filming is "discouraged," but does not outright suggest a ban on them.
白皮书提到，"不鼓励"拍摄时在摄影棚有现场观众，但是没有直接建议禁止。
New safety guidelines on film sets will likely hardest hit craftspeople whose jobs require they work closely with actors: Costume designers, makeup artists, and hairstylists.

The task force acknowledged that some of their work simply "may not be possible while maintaining physical distancing from others."

>Pandemic-era 'gap year' rises
更多人因疫情休'间隔年'
A survey conducted by Baltimore-based consulting firm Art & Science Group found that 17% of students had changed their college plans due to COVID-19.
总部在美国巴尔的摩的咨询公司艺术和科学集团开展的一项调查发现，新冠肺炎疫情导致17%的学生改变了上大学的计划。
Of those students, 16% indicated that they would take a gap year, while 17% said they would wait until the spring semester (which would start in January 2021) to enroll in university full-time.
在这些学生当中，16%的人表示他们会休一个间隔年，17%的人表示他们会等到春季学期开学时(2021年1月)再入学进行全日制学习。
A third said they would enroll in university on a part-time basis.
1/3的学生表示他们会采取非全日制的形式入学。
In a recent study on COVID-19 and university access, the London-based Sutton Trust found that one in five university applicants (19%) in the UK had changed their mind about university attendance for the 2020 academic year - whether in terms of their preferred university or by deferring a place in favor of a gap year.
总部在伦敦的萨顿信托在最近的一项针对新冠肺炎和大学入学的研究中发现，英国有1/5(19%)报考大学的学生已经改变了主意——或者是心仪的大学改变了，或者是选择延期入学，先休整一年。
Joshua Kim and Edward Maloney, authors of Learning Innovation and The Future Of Higher Education, said that having an unplanned and unstructured gap year that essentially equates to a "leave of absence" can be detrimental to students, because they're more likely to lose their momentum and decide not to attend college altogether.
《学习创新和高等教育的未来》一书的作者约书亚•金和爱德华•马龙尼说，没有计划、没有组织的间隔年本质上等同于休假一年，这对学生是有害的，因为他们很可能会失去动力，最后干脆决定不上大学。
For those who struggle to find meaningful activities, Michelle Dittmer, president and co-founder of the Canadian Gap Year Association, suggests thinking about using the skills you have to help organizations that might benefit.
