把这个别针扣上去，然后这一整天手机就锁在里面了。一天结束后，他们会拿到一个这个东西。他们只需要轻轻一敲就行了。

It is called a Yondr pouch. Yondr is used at concerts and art venues for a phone free experience, but it is quickly found its way into schools in the U.S. and Europe.
它被称为Yondr袋。Yondr被用于音乐会和艺术场所，以提供无手机体验，但它很快就在美国和欧洲的学校中流行起来。

The students are very engaged this year, instead of just taking selfies or looking at their phones. But some students struggle with smartphone separation.

It's harder to escape like our problems and our anxiety and depression when we don't have our phone sometimes.
有时没有手机时，就会出现各种问题，比如焦虑，抑郁。

What starts over this type of screen dependency is what motivated Yondr CEO Graham Dugoni, a former pro-soccer player to create Yondr.

For me, it became very clear that the idea of device-free spaces in every modern urban setting is something that probably needs to happen and would be helpful.

Athletes and organizers in Budapest say the water is fine in the fast-flowing Danube river.
布达佩斯的运动员和组织者说，多瑙河的湍急水流很好。

Here it's the current that many people see is scary or causes them anxiety.
这是许多人看到的令人恐惧或焦虑的急流。

In recent years, we noticed that we Hungarians swim very little in the Danube.
近年来，我们注意到匈牙利人很少在多瑙河上游泳。

The event is part of the Budapest Urban Games where the city's local government encourages using the city's parks, roads and waterways as sporting venues.
该活动是布达佩斯城市运动会的一部分，市政府鼓励将城市的公园、道路和水道用作体育场地。

In past years, concerns about pollution and the Danube kept many swimmers away.
过去几年里，对污染和多瑙河的担忧使许多游泳者望而却步。

But the Urban Games founder and organizer Balazs Mezos says the city cleaned up the river years ago.
但城市运动会的创始人兼组织者Balazs Mezos表示，该市多年前就对这条河流进行了清理。

We try to tell people every year that the Danube is clean. Since 2010 we've channeled all sewage to a cleaning plant. Plus we're far from the eddies at the foot of the bridges.
我们每年都试图告诉人们多瑙河很干净。自2010年以来，我们已将所有污水引至污水处理厂。另外，我们离桥底的漩涡还很远。

Athletes swim for causes like breast cancer awareness.

About 700 swimmers swam in the European Union's longest river during the recent Budapest Urban Games.
在最近举行的布达佩斯城市运动会期间，大约700名游泳者在欧盟最长的河流中游泳。

Organizers only allowed about 20 to 25 swimmers at a time to observe social distancing guidelines.
组织者每次只允许约20到25名游泳者下水，以遵守社交距离准则。

There's long been concern about the effect that melting ice was having on their ability to hunt seals, their staple diet. But in the Norwegian Archipelago of Svalbard, something surprising has happened. The bears there have gained weight, and for a polar bear, fatter means healthier. Rising temperatures, though, mean that there are now 100 more ice free days per year in Svalbard than when this study began, so the bears are now hunting on the land.
长期以来，人们一直担心海冰融化会影响北极熊捕食海豹的能力，而海豹正是他们的主食。但在挪威的斯瓦尔巴特群岛，一个令人意想不到的情况发生了。那里的北极熊体重增加了，而对于北极熊来说，更胖就意味着更加健康。不过，不断上升的全球气温也意味着斯瓦尔巴特群岛现在每年平均无冰天数比这项研究开始时增加了 100 天，因此那里的北极熊现在开始在陆地上进行捕食。

This unexpected, good news, scientists say, is temporary. As sea ice recedes more, bears may have to travel further between their hunting grounds, using up valuable fat reserves for energy.
科学家们表示，这个出乎意料的好消息只是暂时的。随着海冰进一步消退，北极熊可能需要往返于更远的猎场之间，迫使它们大量消耗本就宝贵的脂肪储备以获取能量。

For years, astronomers have hypothesised about life beyond Earth, especially on the closest planet to Earth – Venus. Venus is often named the Earth's 'evil twin' because of its extremely hot temperature and greenhouse effect, which make it toxic and inhospitable. It is also similar in size, mass and rocky composition.
多年来，天文学家一直假设地球以外存在生命，特别是在距离地球最近的行星——金星上。 金星经常被称为地球的“邪恶双胞胎”，因为它具有极高的温度和温室效应，使其有毒且不适宜居住。 它的大小、质量和岩石成分也相似。

Though no organic molecules have been discovered on Venus, new findings from the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) instrument on board NASA's Magellan spacecraft shows caves lurking beneath the surface. Researchers from Nature Communications add that these could offer us new ideas about the evolution of Venus – about how it might have possibly supported life in the past or could again in the future.
虽然金星上没有发现有机分子，但美国宇航局麦哲伦航天器上的合成孔径雷达 (SAR) 仪器的新发现显示，金星表面下潜伏着洞穴。 《自然通讯》的研究人员补充说，这些可以为我们提供关于金星演化的新想法——关于它如何在过去或将来如何支持生命。

The caves suggest that lava tubes, otherwise known as pyroducts, could be prevalent. The search for pyroducts was challenging at first because the planet is shrouded in thick clouds of sulphur and carbon dioxide that not only contribute to the immense temperature but also block any view of the surface. However, the recent radar images suggest that a big pyroduct lies near Nyx Mons, a large volcano in the highlands of Venus's Bell Regio region.
这些洞穴表明熔岩管（也称为火山熔岩）可能很普遍。 寻找火山产物一开始很困难，因为这颗行星被厚厚的硫和二氧化碳云笼罩着，这不仅导致了巨大的温度，而且挡住了地表的任何视线。 然而，最近的雷达图像表明，金星贝尔区高地的尼克斯蒙斯火山附近有一座大型火山熔岩。

In a 2026 study called 'Radar-based observation of a lava tube on Venus', it can be understood that, in the field of geoscience, volcanoes play an important role in the evolution of a planet. If we think about Earth billions of years ago, volcanoes released gases that helped form our oceans and our atmosphere. Volcanoes keep Earth warm, wet and habitable. So, we have evidence that there are many active volcanoes on Venus, but will we ever be able to live there?
在 2026 年一项名为“基于雷达的金星熔岩管观测”的研究中，可以看出，在地球科学领域，火山在行星的演化过程中发挥着重要作用。 如果我们想想数十亿年前的地球，火山释放的气体有助于形成我们的海洋和大气层。 火山使地球保持温暖、湿润和适宜居住。 那么，我们有证据表明金星上有许多活火山，但我们能够在那里生活吗？

Well, we would require an abundance of water, which is greatly lacking on Venus. But data gathered by the Venus Express orbiter, launched in 2005 by The European Space Agency, could hint toward the planet once having oceans. And though the clouds on Venus rain sulphuric acid, they could still support an exotic biochemistry that thrives in such conditions. There's also plenty of sunlight to serve as a power source for life.
嗯，我们需要大量的水，而金星上却非常缺乏。 但欧洲航天局 2005 年发射的金星快车轨道飞行器收集的数据可能暗示这颗行星曾经拥有海洋。 尽管金星上的云层会下硫酸雨，但它们仍然可以支持在这种条件下蓬勃发展的奇异生物化学。 还有充足的阳光可以作为生命的动力来源。
