This is What's Trending Today...

這里是今日熱點節(jié)目。

Hurricane Irma, iPhone, Matt Lauer, Meghan Markle, Bitcoin, Despacito and fidget spinner are among the top Google searches for 2017.

艾瑪颶風、蘋果手機、馬特·勞爾、梅根·馬克爾、比特幣、神曲Despacito以及指尖陀螺都是2017年谷歌搜索量最高的關鍵詞。

People from the United States and Caribbean islands understandably had great interest in hurricanes. The category 5 Hurricane Irma caused widespread damage on Caribbean islands and in the American state of Florida in September. Not long before Irma, Hurricane Harvey flooded the city of Houston, Texas.

美國和加勒比海島嶼的人們理所當然地極度關注颶風。9月份，五級颶風艾瑪在加勒比海島嶼以及美國佛羅里達州造成了大面積破壞。就在艾瑪颶風來臨前不久，哈維颶風使得德克薩斯州休斯頓市被洪水淹沒。

From Taiwan to Ghana, and Germany to Sri Lanka, everyone seemed to search for the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X this year. The search for Apple smart phones outdistanced other technology news for the year.

今年從中國臺灣到加納，從德國到斯里蘭卡，每個人似乎都在搜索iPhone 8和iPhone X手機。今年對蘋果智能手機的搜索量超過了任何其它科技新聞。

People searched for Matt Lauer more than any other person in 2017. The well-known television host of a morning news program was dismissed in November after a coworker accused him of sexual abuse.

2017年人們搜索最多的人物是馬特·勞爾。這位著名的早間新聞節(jié)目電視主持人11月份在受到一名同事的性騷擾指控后被解雇。

American actress Meghan Markle also made Google's list. She and Britain's Prince Harry announced their engagement in late November. Markle is best known for her work on the television show Suits.

美國女演員梅根·馬克爾也進入了谷歌的搜索榜單。她和英國的哈里王子在11月下旬宣布訂婚。馬克爾以電視劇《金裝律師》中的角色而為人熟知。

Searches for "bitcoin" also rose in November around the world. Since the virtual currency is still something of a mystery, most people looked for "What is Bitcoin", "How to buy Bitcoin" and "How to mine Bitcoins."

11月份比特幣的搜索量在世界各地都有所上漲。由于這種虛擬貨幣仍然不為人了解，大多數(shù)人都在搜索“什么是比特幣”，“如何購買比特幣”以及“如何挖比特幣”。

This summer, the hit dance song Despacito became the most-streamed song ever. Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi and rap singer Daddy Yankee released Despacito, which means slowly in Spanish, in both Spanish and English. The song drew interest in many countries including Egypt, Vietnam and Croatia.

這個夏天，熱門歌曲Despacito成為了有史以來最流行的歌曲。波多黎各歌手路易斯·馮西(Luis Fonsi)和說唱歌手洋基老爹(Daddy Yankee)發(fā)布了Despacito的西班牙語和英語兩種版本。歌名在西班牙語中的意思是慢慢的。這首歌在包括埃及、越南和克羅地亞在內的很多國家都引發(fā)了興趣。

A fidget spinner is a small ball-bearing device that users can rotate very quickly between their fingers. It was originally seen as a device to help people who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Many teachers barred students from using fidget spinners during class. So, students decided to try to construct their own fidget spinner using paper. The search term "How to make a paper fidget spinner" became a top search in May, just in time for the end of the school year in the United States.

指尖陀螺是一種小型的滾珠軸承裝置，用戶可以把它在手指之間快速旋轉。它最初被視為一種幫助多動者患者的工具。許多教師禁止學生在課堂上玩指尖陀螺。所以學生們決定嘗試用紙來做他們自己的指尖陀螺。“如何制作紙質指尖陀螺”成為了五月份最熱門的搜索關鍵字，這正好趕上美國一個學年的結束。
