2019年悄然而至，筒子們2018年的計劃完成了嗎？新的一年，便是新的開始，是時候準備一下19年的計劃啦！
那2019年又有哪些事情值得我們期待呢？現在就一起來看看吧。
1
英國王室新增一名成員
First came love, then came marriage, and now Prince Harry and real-life American princess Meghan Markle are expecting their first baby. While the family has been understandably mum on the exact due date, we can expect a ridiculously beautiful addition to the Windsor line some time in the spring.
先是愛情，後是婚姻。現在，哈里王子和來自美國的王妃梅根·馬克爾即將迎來他們的第一個孩子。雖然英國王室並未透露確切的預產期，但可以估計的是，這個漂亮的溫莎寶寶會在今年春天的某個時候降生。

3D打印技術
Expect 2019 to be the year 3D printing really, really comes into the mainstream. We're talking 3D bioprinting in the medical field, advanced 3D metal printing which will revolutionize manufacturing and even more accessible 3D printing at home. Yes, printing giant Xerox is getting into the 3D printing game, and has plans to develop an at-home 3D printer this year.
2019年，3D打印技術將真正成為主流。我們現在談論的是醫學領域的3D生物清洗技術和先進的3D金屬印刷技術，這將給製造業帶來革命性的變革，甚至有可能進入普通家庭使用。印刷巨頭施樂（美國著名商標和品牌，其公司是全球最大數字與信息技術產品生產商，發明了複印技術）也打算開展3D打印遊戲業務，並計劃在今年開發一款家用3D打印機。

五次日食
Remember how cool the solar eclipse in North America was in 2017? Now South Asia and South America will have their days in the no-sun. On July 2, a total solar eclipse will pass over southern parts of Chile and Argentina, and parts of the South Pacific. Then in December, another eclipse will pass over the Arabian Peninsula and arc over areas of South Asia.
還記得2017年北美日食有多壯觀嗎？今年，南亞和南美洲也將迎來日食。7月2日，智利和阿根廷南部地區，以及南太平洋部分地區將會出現日全食。然後在12月，另一次日食將出現在阿拉伯半島和南亞地區。
Throughout the year, there will be a total of five eclipses worldwide, so, it sounds like we need some sort of global exchange of eclipse glasses.
2019全年，全世界總共會有五次欣賞日食的機會，所以兩個半球的人可以交換一下日食眼鏡了。

女子世界盃
The FIFA Women's World Cup, which will take place in June and July of 2019. The matches will be played all around France, whose men's team coincidentally won the 2018 World Cup. And yes, Americans, warm up your voices for some obnoxious "U-S-A" chants. The USWNT is back in action as returning champions.
國際足聯女足世界盃將於2019年6月到7月在法國各地舉行。法國的男足也是2018年世界盃的冠軍。
If soccer isn't your jam, but World Cups are, mark your fresh new planners for the Rugby World Cup, which will take place in Japan in September, or if you're fancy, the Cricket World Cup, which will start in London in May.
如果你不喜歡足球，但又不想錯過世界盃，那就去參觀9月在日本舉行的橄欖球世界盃或者5月在倫敦舉行的板球世界盃吧。

歷史紀念日
It's going to be a year for history buffs. 2019 marks the 75th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. If you live in or travel to Europe, expect a lot of meaningful ceremonies and events to mark these two important moments. Some travel companies are even offering special tours to mark the anniversaries.
今年是歷史愛好者的福音。2019年是諾曼底登陸和諾曼底戰役75週年。如果你住在歐洲或要去歐洲旅行，那麼你可以期待一下，這裡會有很多紀念這兩個重要時刻的有意義的儀式和活動。為紀念這兩大事件，一些旅遊公司甚至會提供特別的旅遊服務。
For moon babies, it's also a special year: July will mark the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, which put the first two men on the moon.
對於月球迷來說，今年也是一個特殊的年份：今年七月將是阿波羅11號登月50週年。

《堡壘之夜》錦標賽
E-Sports has completed its world takeover, there will be a massive Fortnite tournament in 2019 with a prize pot of $100 million (!!!). The cool thing about the Fortnite World Cup is, according to Epic Games, it isn't focused on big leagues or professional gamers -- anyone with a console and serious skills can participate. Qualifying rounds have already started, but they'll continue through most of 2019 before culminating in the big championship.
電子競技已在當今世界佔據一席之地，2019年將舉行一次大規模的《堡壘之夜》錦標賽，獎金高達1億美元！據Epic Games（《堡壘之夜》遊戲製作團隊）稱，《堡壘之夜》世界盃的最酷之處在於，它並不只針對大聯盟或職業玩家——任何擁有控制檯和技能的人都可以參加。預選賽已經開始，但大部分將在2019年進行，最後決勝出最終的冠軍。
7
“大峽谷國家公園”100週年
Obviously, the Grand Canyon is way older than that (by about 6 million years), but 2019 will mark its 100th birthday as a national park. The National Park Service is planning a year of celebrations for the centennial, so if you're lucky enough to be heading that way, your trip will be extra special.
顯然，美國科羅拉多大峽谷比100年古老得多（約600萬年），但2019年是它成為“大峽谷國家公園”100週年（1919年，威爾遜總統將大峽谷地區闢為“大峽谷國家公園”）。國家公園管理局正計劃舉行百年慶典，如果你有幸前往，你的旅行將會非常特別。

迪士尼影片盛宴
If freshly-minted movies are your thing, strap into your reclining theater seat and let the Disney franchises take over your eyeballs. Avengers: Endgame will be one of the most anticipated (and emotionally taxing) films of the year, and it's set to drop in April. But don't forget about Captain Marvel, another hot Disney/Marvel property that will land in theaters in March.
如果你喜歡新電影，那就去電影院享受迪士尼影片盛宴吧。《復仇者聯盟4：終局之戰》將是今年最受期待的（也是最虐的）電影之一，會在今年4月上映。還有，別忘了另外一部超火的迪士尼/漫威電影《驚奇隊長》，將在3月上映。
Live-action versions of several Disney classics will be headed to the big screen too, including The Lion King, Aladdin and Dumbo.
包括《獅子王》《阿拉丁》和《小飛象》在內的幾部真人版迪士尼經典電影也將進入大銀幕。
9
迪士尼星球大戰主題樂園
Disney World and Disneyland are going to be strong with the force this year, because both locations are opening a new Star Wars-themed land in their existing parks in the fall of 2019. "Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge" will contain 14 acres of all kinds of thrilling, money-draining activities for young Star Wars fans. "Galaxy's Edge" will place visitors on Planet Batuu, among "rogue traders, droids and strange creatures".
迪士尼世界和迪士尼樂園今年將大放異彩，因為在今年秋天他們將在其中開闢一片以星球大戰為主題的園區。“星球大戰：銀河的邊緣”園區將佔地14英畝，為“星球大戰”的年輕粉絲提供充滿刺激的娛樂活動。“銀河的邊緣”園區將把遊客安置在巴圖星球上，他們會變身成“流氓商人、機器人和奇怪的生物”。
10
《權力的遊戲》結局
Are you ready to have your soul absolutely rocked by some amazing television? 2019 is going to be your year, then. The final season of Game of Thrones premieres in April, so any GoT fan you know is going to be an absolute wreck for a few months.
你準備好接受來自神劇的震撼了嗎？2019將是這樣的一年。《權力的遊戲》的最後一季將在4月首播，所以權遊粉在接下來的幾個月將會疲憊不已。
If epic historical fantasy isn't your bag, there are a ton of new and exciting shows to whisk you away from reality should you need it. Do you like reboots? Try a revamped Carmen Sandiego, The Twilight Zone or Veronica Mars. Shows based on comic books? Peep Swamp Thing, a DC Universe-based horror series, or Stargirl, another DC franchise offering. If none of that whets your whistle, there's always a new season of Stranger Things.
如果你不喜歡史詩奇幻劇，今年還有很多新的振奮人心的節目，它們可以讓你暫時逃離現實（如果你有需要）。如果你喜歡重啟劇，不妨去看看新版的《神偷卡門》《暮光之城》或者《美眉校探》。如果你喜歡漫畫改編的電視劇，DC（Detective Comics，DC漫畫公司是美國與漫威漫畫公司齊名的漫畫巨頭，超人和蝙蝠俠是DC的招牌角色）宇宙驚悚劇《沼澤怪物》，DC劇《逐星女》將是你不錯的選擇。如果所有這些都不是你的菜，那就去看看新一季的《怪奇物語》吧。
11
自由女神像博物館開放
When you tire of the "Star Wars" stuff at Disney, why not head over to visit a more terrestrial hero? A new museum is opening on Liberty Island in May 2019 at the feet of the Statue of Liberty. The museum will feature displays on how the massive statue was constructed, as well as an up-close view of the statue's original torch.
當你厭倦了迪士尼的“星球大戰”，去看看地球上真實的英雄也許是不錯的選擇。在自由島自由女神像腳下，一座新的博物館將於2019年5月開放。該博物館將展出這座巨大的雕像的建造過程，以及自由女神像原始火炬的近景。

世界不會終結
If you are conspiracy-minded, or just have a good memory when it comes to astronomical objects, you may recall a few years ago that an asteroid was predicted to come close to Earth in 2019, with a verrry slim chance of actually hitting us and rapturing us all into fiery pieces of space dust. Despite fringe YouTube conspiracies, NASA has completely and utterly debunked this and said the asteroid will fly by with a margin of about 2.6 million miles.
如果你是陰謀論者，或者僅僅是對天文感興趣，你可能還記得幾年前的一個說法，一顆小行星預計在2019年接近地球，並且極有可能撞擊地球，並把我們困在熾熱的太空塵埃中。儘管YouTube上有這樣的一些談論，但美國宇航局已經徹底推翻了這一謠言，並表示這顆小行星將以距地球大約260萬英里的距離飛過。
