2026年3月24日

早上好，欢迎收看儿童新闻。

Good morning, and welcome to Kid News.

我是金。

I'm Kim.

今天是2026年3月24日星期二，我们首先来关注一条奶酪牛肉三明治长队，其长度可能超过费城国际机场的旅客排队长度。

Today is Tuesday, 03/24/2026, and we begin with a line of cheesesteaks that could stretch longer than the line of travelers at Philly International.

今天是国家奶酪牛肉三明治日，为了庆祝这一美食的发源地，该机场正试图创造一项令人垂涎的世界纪录。

Today is National Cheesesteak Day, and to celebrate the airport in the city that made the cheesesteak famous is attempting a mouthwatering world record.

机场内所有制作奶酪牛肉三明治的餐厅——数量不少——将联手在B区和C区航站楼之间打造一条连续不断的奶酪牛肉三明治长廊。

Every cheesesteak making restaurant at the airport, and there are a lot, will team up to build a continuous concourse spanning line of the Hot Hogies between Terminals B And C.

打破纪录所需的数量尚未公布，但消息人士称大约在500个左右。

The number they need to break that record hasn't been announced, but sources put it in the 500 range.

这场美味的挑战将在今天上午九点至中午进行，吉尼斯世界纪录的代表将到场，对每一口三明治进行精确测量。

The tasty attempt will be made between nine and noon today, and representatives from Guinness World Records will be on hand to measure every morsel.

来自弗吉尼亚州沃灵顿的一名青少年在推广饮用水方面引起了广泛关注。

A teenager from Warrington, Virginia, is making waves when it comes to drinking water.

具体来说，她提出了一种解决微塑料问题的方案。

Specifically, she has a solution to problematic microplastics.

18岁的米娅·海勒的想法是利用一种名为铁磁流体的特殊磁性油，这种油可以吸附那些肉眼难以看见的微小污染物。

18 year old Mia Heller's idea is to harness the power of a special magnetic oil called ferrofluid that can grab onto the microscopic menaces, many of which are too small to be seen.

然后用磁铁将它们吸出，留下洁净的水。

Then a magnet pulls them out, leaving clean water behind.

在家庭实验中，米娅的发明去除了96%的微粒，效果与目前大多数高科技系统相当甚至更优。

In home tests, Mia's invention removed 96% of those particles, which is as good or better than most high-tech systems already in use.

米娅表示，下一步是让她的成果获得专业认证，然后可能扩大规模并推向市场。

Mia says the next step is to have her results professionally confirmed and then maybe scale it up and sell it.

三月疯狂赛已进入十六强阶段。

March Madness is down to its Sweet Sixteen.

男子组方面，众多强队晋级，也有一些黑马， notably 内布拉斯加队，这是他们历史上首次闯入这一阶段，还有德克萨斯队、圣约翰队和爱荷华队。

On the men's side, a lot of powerhouses are in and a few outliers too, notably Nebraska, which has never made it this far, along with Texas, St.

爱荷华队在周日淘汰了卫冕冠军、头号种子佛罗里达队。

John's, and Iowa, which knocked off reigning big dance champion and number one seed Florida on Sunday.

但在盖尔队作为一支球队失利之前，其中一名球员已经载入史册。

But before the Gators lost as a team, one of them entered the record books.

七英尺九英寸的中锋奥利维耶· Ryu 已经以史上最高大的常规赛大学球员身份创造历史，如今他又成为史上参加三月疯狂赛的最高球员。

Seven foot nine inch center Olivier Ryu, who's already made history as the tallest regular season college player ever, made more history as the tallest player ever to play in March Madness.

他的扣篮让观众惊叹不已，但对佛罗里达队来说，这为时已晚。

His slam dunk wowed the crowd, but it was too little too late for Florida.

男子组十六强比赛将于周四开始。

Sweet 16 action for the men begins on Thursday.

女子组的比赛则在周五进行，重点关注弗吉尼亚队。

For the women on Friday, keep an eye on Virginia.

作为十号种子，她们淘汰了爱荷华队，有可能成为本届锦标赛的灰姑娘。

The 10 seed took down Iowa and could be the tournament's Cinderella.

海狸，这些面容顽皮的可爱啮齿动物，正成为应对气候变化的意外盟友。

Beavers, those cute rodents with mischievous faces, are stepping up as unexpected allies in the effort to fight climate change.

本月早些时候的一项新研究发现，海狸通过筑坝实际上有助于封存碳，减缓全球变暖。

A new study from earlier this month finds that by building dams, beavers can actually help trap carbon and slow global warming.

研究人员发现，当海狸创建湿地时，它们会收集沉积物，将溪流转变为碳汇，这意味着它们的建设工程所储存的碳比释放的更多。

Researchers discovered that when beavers create wetlands, they collect sediment and turn streams into carbon sinks, meaning their construction projects store more carbon than they release.

这很重要，因为二氧化碳是全球变暖的主要驱动因素。

That's important because carbon dioxide is a major driver of global warming.

瑞士北部的一项研究表明，海狸栖息地有可能抵消一个国家近2%的排放量。

The Northern Switzerland study suggests beaver habitats could offset up to nearly 2% of a country's emissions.

这表明，有时大自然自有其巧妙而意想不到的方式来应对人类制造的问题。

This shows how sometimes nature has its own clever and unexpected answers to man made problems.

随着美国

As The U.

准备重返月球，俄罗斯则瞄准了重返金星。

S.

太阳系第二颗行星金星的温度高到足以熔化铅，大气压强也大到足以压扁一辆汽车。

Prepares to head back to the moon, Russia has its sights set on a return trip to Venus.

准备重返月球，俄罗斯则瞄准了重返金星。

The second planet from the sun has temperatures hot enough to melt lead and atmospheric pressure strong enough to crush a car flat.

俄罗斯是唯一曾前往金星的国家，但其在1970年至1982年间登陆金星的探测器仅存活了几小时，有些甚至再也没有传回任何信号。

Russia is the only country that's ventured there, but its probes, which landed on Venus between 1970 and 1982, only survived a couple hours, and some were never heard from at all.

那些成功传回信号的探测器向世人展示了金星厚厚云层之下的真实景象——一片残酷的岩石地貌，笼罩在诡异的橙色光芒中。

Those that did manage to send a signal back gave the world its only images of what lies beneath Venus's thick layer of clouds, namely a brutal rocky terrain bathed in eerie orange light.

莫斯科表示，现在是时候带着更先进的技术重返金星了。

Moscow says it's time to go back with better technology.

不过，俄罗斯人并不着急。

The Russians aren't rushing, though.

发射时间定在2036年左右。

The launch date, sometime in 2036.

接下来，你听说过‘装死’这个说法吗？

Still to come, have you heard the saying playing possum?

一种生物在澳大利亚将这种行为发挥到了极致。

How one critter took that to a whole new level Down Under.

但首先，我们要向一些支持者致谢：弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿的理查德·波拉克、德克萨斯州圣马科斯的简·贝克，以及华盛顿州西雅图的谢丽尔·马歇尔。

But first, we want to shout out some of our supporters: Richard Polak of Arlington, Virginia Jane Baker from San Marcos, Texas and Cheryl Marshall of Seattle, Washington.

在今天的儿童新闻趣闻中，就像《玩具总动员》活过来了。

In today's kid news kicker, it's like Toy Story come to life.

在澳大利亚一家机场礼品店购物的顾客，看到货架上一排毛绒玩具时惊呆了。

Shoppers passing through an airport gift shop in Australia were gobsmacked at what they saw on a shelf full of stuffed animals.

匆匆一瞥可能注意不到，但仔细看上几秒，就很明显了。

A quick look and you wouldn't notice, but a few seconds of perusing, and it was clear.

其中一只动物和其他的不一样。

One of the animals was not like the others.

它在眨眼睛，还在观察。

It was blinking and watching.

一只活着的、会呼吸的负鼠溜进了商店，把自己藏在一排毛绒玩具旁边。

A living, breathing possum had made its way into the store and tucked himself in beside a row of stuffed plushies.

它很平静，显然非常自在。

It was calm and apparently completely comfortable.

没人知道它在那里待了多久，直到一位顾客注意到并通知了工作人员，工作人员随后联系机场人员将它放归野外。

No one knows how long it was there before a customer noticed and flagged a staffer, who then called airport workers to move it back into the wild.

但人们会记住他。

But he will be remembered.

商店经理承诺将为这只以最可爱方式分散了旅客注意力的小动物设立一个小型纪念角，包括照片和名字。

The store manager is promising he will make a small shrine complete with a photo and name in honor of a critter that distracted a few flyers in the best way possible.
