1月25日CNN聽力：制裁消除後伊朗煤油產量或面對暴增 Skype結合開創人推出送貨機械人
I'm Carl Azuz for CNN STUDENT NEWS.
Starting with an announcement from the U.S.Supreme Court.
It's going to decide the fate of President Obama'sexecutive action on immigration.
He announced the action in 2014.
It would allow around 5 million people who are in theU.S.illegally to stay without the threat of being deported.
They'd be allowed to apply for work programs and other benefits as long as they paid taxes.
The Obama administration argues that this is a legal action in line with those of previousprecedents on immigration.
But executive orders don't go through Congress, and none has ever impacted this manypeople before.
So critics argue that the president went too far in making this law without congressionalapproval.
Twenty-six states brought lawsuits against President Obama's action, holding it up in court.
The Supreme Court's final say could come later this year.
Yesterday, we told you how international sanctions on Iran were lifted over the weekend, aspart of the controversial nuclear deal with the Middle Eastern country.
One part of that, Iran's now able to sell oil in countries where it wasn't allowed to before.
So, it's planning to increase production in an oil market that's already saturated.
Some experts doubt that Iran will actually be able to produce as much oil as it plans to.
It has plenty of it, but some of Iran's equipment needs updating and upgrading.
Still, this is expected to lower the global price of oil even further, as supply far exceeds thedemand for it.
Iran's energy potential.
Iran has the potential to be a big player in both oil and natural gas by the end of the decade ifall goes to plan.
It sits on 9 percent of the world's proven oil reserves, double that in natural gas, and was afounding member of OPEC.
I'm standing in the West Quroon field in southwest Iran, in the industry that's known as anelephant field because it's so big.
It covers 900 kilometers, about the distance between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
It has proven reserves of 60 billion barrels.
It is the largest discovery in Iran in the last three decades.
Years of economic sanctions held back investment and exploration into the country andtoppled Iran into recession.
U.S. and European oil giants were not allowed to do business here.
Before the sanctions were put in place, Iran was producing 4.3 million barrels a day, the secondhighest level in OPEC, just behind Saudi Arabia.
It has plans to reclaim that position by the end of 2016 and hopes to hit a target of nearly 6million barrels a day by 2020.
Iran is eager to regain its status within OPEC and on the global energy stage.
But it won't be without challenges.
The new production would put more pressure on prices and on OPEC itself to make way for allof Iran's new production.
If you're watching and know U.S. history, you'll know who famously said, "Give me liberty orgive me death."
His namesake, Patrick Henry Middle School is first up on today's "Roll Call".
Meet the Panthers of Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Next to Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico.
The Conquers of De Vargas Middle School are there conquering a slot on our show.
And crossing the International Dateline in the Pacific, we come to the Northern Mariana Islandsin Saipan International School.
It's in Saipan.
When you buy something and have sent to your home, it usually arrives by truck.
That's expensive for business.
It's why they say the last mile is so costly.
So, how the company gets something to you safely and cheaply?
One idea involves a robot that wheels along sidewalks in about four miles per hour.
But even if this plan gets off or on the ground, getting permission to operate these indifferent states and countries could be a roadblock.
The last mile of delivery is the most expensive.
So, companies around the world are working to make that final stretch more efficient andfaster.
They're experimenting with drones, drivers and now-pardon me-self-driving robots.
It's the most expensive because there's a huge ban that is starting and stopping and the driveris getting on and off and knocking on doors and that takes time and that's something that thedriver needs to do for every person.
Home grocery delivery services like Fresh Direct and Amazon Fresh are convenient, butthey're not always cheap.
Amazon's membership cost 300 a year.
Now, one of Skype's founders believes he can bring those costs down with self-driving robots.
What does it have in it different than the cart that I use to get my groceries?
Well, the cart doesn't have nine cameras, but our robot does and it's six-wheel drive, so it hasmotors, electric motors and various other sensors.
The robot is observing pedestrians.
The robot is navigating on the sidewalk and it needs to be aware of its surrounding.
And how does it get from the warehouse to the person's house? Using Google Maps?

我是卡爾·阿祖茲，這裏是CNN門生消息。
咱們起首存眷美國最高法院的一項通知布告。
這會決議奧巴馬在移民題目上決議計劃的運氣。
奧巴馬總統曾在2014年宣告移民決議計劃。
總統的這項決議計劃許可約500萬名不法職員留在美國，不消面對被驅趕出境的威逼。
他們只要繳納稅款就能夠申請事情項目及其他福利。
奧巴馬當局以為這項決議計劃同先前的移民司法同等。
然則國會並未經由過程此行政敕令，也沒造成任何影響。
是以批駁人士以為總統在決議計劃上尚未獲得國會同意就已走的太遠。
26個州提出訴訟否決奧巴馬總統。
最高法院的訊斷大概會在本年晚些時刻宣告。
昨天咱們曾為帶來過報導，作為同這其中東國度簽署具備爭議核協定的一部門，上周末國際方面若何消除對伊朗的制裁。
而個中的一部門是伊朗如今可以或許向曩昔不被許可的國度出售煤油。
是以這個國度正籌劃在本就已出現飽和市場增長煤油產量。
一些專家疑惑伊朗將盡量依照籌劃臨盆更多煤油。
這個國度本就有充足的煤油資本貯備,但伊朗的一些裝備須要更新換代。
不外,跟著國際原油價錢供大於求，這將進一步拉低環球煤油價錢。
伊朗的能源潛力。
假如統統順遂伊朗在將來10年內有潛力成為煤油及自然氣大戶。
天下已探明煤油儲量中，伊朗占領9%,這是自然氣的2倍,並且它是煤油輸出國構造(OPEC)的開創成員。
我正處於伊朗西南部的西方Quroon油田,在業內這裏被稱為大象的地皮,由於其實太大了。
它涵蓋900千米,約莫是洛杉磯與舊金山之間的間隔。
已探明儲量為600億桶。
這是伊朗在曩昔30年中最大的發明。
而長達數年的經濟制裁攔阻對這個國度舉行投資及摸索並使得該國經濟墮入闌珊。
美國和歐洲的煤油巨子都不許可在這裏經商。
制裁實行以前,伊朗的煤油產量為天天430萬桶,在OPEC中排名第二,僅次於首位的沙特阿拉伯。
而如今伊朗籌劃將在2016歲尾從新回到這個地位,願望在2020歲終到達天天600萬桶的目的。
伊朗急於規復其在OPEC內部及環球能源舞台上的位置。
但這個國度面對許多困難。
而伊朗的產油將會對煤油價錢及歐佩克自己施加更大壓力。
假如你存眷咱們的節目並懂得美國汗青,你會曉得:“不自由無寧死”是誰的名言。
和他的同名的帕特裏克·亨利中學是本日點名的第一所黌舍。
來見一見南達科塔州蘇福爾斯的美洲豹們。
而第二所黌舍則處於新墨西哥的都城聖達菲。
感激德巴爾加斯中學的同窗們對本節目標存眷。
末了一所黌舍咱們要穿越寧靖洋的國際日期變革線來到北馬裏亞納群島的塞班島國際黌舍。
這所黌舍處於塞班。
當你購置器械後一般為經由過程卡車運運送到你家。
而這類方法造價昂貴。
是以人們總說這輸送的末了一英裏是如斯昂貴。
是以,公司如何做能力將貨色既平安又廉價的送到你家呢?
個中一個假想是沿著人行道以每小時4英裏的速率輸送貨色的機械人。
但就算這個籌劃獲得同意並開端實行,想要得到各類州的允許也多是一道困難。
末了一英裏的交貨造價最為昂貴。
是以天下各地的公司都在盡力使這末了一英裏更富有結果且更加快捷。
他們試下應用無人機，到如今的無人駕駛機械人。
這是最為昂貴的,由於一路一停都有相幹禁令,並且司機駕車及敲客戶的房門須要時光，主要的是司秘密對每一位客戶反復一樣的步調。
如Fresh Direct及亞馬遜的家庭雜貨店等送貨辦事異常便利,但並未便宜。
亞馬遜的會員每一年要付出300美元。
如今,Skype的個中一位開創人信任他可以經由過程主動駕駛機械人下降這些本錢。
它比擬以往我前去雜貨店有何分歧?
這台機械人設置裝備擺設有9個攝像頭,並且是6輪驅動,是以它有馬達、電動馬達及其他各類傳感器。
這台機械人正在視察行人。
這台機械人正在人行道上舉行導航,它須要感知四周情況。
它若何從堆棧到客戶的屋子?應用谷歌輿圖嗎?
