The painting, which was on loan from the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, was damaged by the security guard after he is said to have become bored on his first day.

While there are plenty of factors that go into how attractive you are to mosquitoes, new research has found the colors you’re wearing definitely play a role.
很多因素都可能導致你成為“招蚊體質”，但是新研究發現，你穿的衣服顏色也起到了一定作用。
That’s the main takeaway from a new study published in the journal Nature Communications.
這是發表在《自然•通訊》期刊上的一項新研究得出的主要結論。
For the study, researchers from the University of Washington tracked the behavior of female mosquitoes when they were given different types of visual and scent cues.
來自華盛頓大學的研究人員在這項研究中追蹤了雌性埃及伊蚊在被給予不同視覺和氣味線索時的行為模式。
In case you're not familiar with how mosquitoes find food, they first detect that you’re around by smelling carbon dioxide from your breath.
如果你不瞭解蚊子是如何覓食的，這裡要告訴你，蚊子最開始察覺到你的存在是因為聞到了你撥出的二氧化碳。
When there was no odor like carbon dioxide in the test chambers, the mosquitoes pretty much ignored the colored dot, no matter what hue it was.
如果試驗箱裡沒有二氧化碳的氣味，蚊子很可能會對彩色圓點視而不見，不論是什麼顏色的圓點。
But once researchers sprayed carbon dioxide in the chamber, they flew toward dots that were red, orange, black, or cyan.
但是研究人員只要在試驗箱裡噴灑二氧化碳，蚊子就會飛向紅色、桔色、黑色或藍綠色的圓點。
Dots that were green, blue, or purple were ignored.
與此同時，蚊子對綠色、藍色或紫色的圓點視而不見。

Sea levels along US coastlines will rise between 25 to 30 centimeters on average, above the current levels by 2050, according to a new interagency report published on Tuesday.
2月15日新公佈的一份機構間報告稱，到2050年，美國海岸線周圍的海平面將平均上升25到30釐米。
Coastal flooding will increase significantly over the next 30 years because of the rise, according to the report by an interagency sea level rise task force that includes NASA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and other federal agencies. The report projects that the rise in ocean height in the next 30 years could equal the total rise seen over the past 100 years.
包括美國宇航局、美國國家海洋和大氣管理局和其他聯邦機構在內的一個機構間海平面上升工作組預計，美國未來30年海平面將大幅升高，上升幅度或與過去100年的升幅相當。由於海平面上升，未來30年沿海洪水將顯著增加。
