在我们的印象里，很大一部分有关俄罗斯的新闻都与熊有关，这条新闻也是其中之一：
俄罗斯楚科奇一个偏远的小村庄被大群饥饿的北极熊“包围”了！
这些北极熊有的已成年，有的只是小熊崽，但每一只看起来都是瘦骨嶙峋。为了觅食，它们聚集在村庄周围不肯离开。
A Russian village has been "invaded" by a large group of polar bears.
A total of 56 polar bears had gathered in a one-square-kilometer area near the village of Ryrkaipy in Chukotka on the northeastern tip of Russia. The hungry bears gathered close to residential areas and refuse to leave.
一平方公里，56只北极熊。
即使是对于常与猛兽打交道的“战斗民族”来说，这个“熊口”密度也太大了一些。
村子里的居民为此取消了公众活动，并自发把海象的尸体收集起来，为这些北极熊建立了一个“饲养点”，以防止熊群再靠近村庄。
Residents have made preparations, and canceled all public activities. They had gathered walrus carcasses in the area to try to keep the bears from wandering into the village.
"We have created a feeding point with walrus carcasses that we gathered along the coast," Tatyana Minenko of the local "Bear Patrol" told news agency RIA Novosti.
"As long as there is no big freeze, the sea ice will not form and the bears will stay on the coast," she said.
这不是村庄第一次有北极熊造访，但是熊群数量如此之大确实前所未有。
世界自然基金会（WWF）俄罗斯分部表示，气候变化是此次“围城”的罪魁祸首。异常温暖的气温阻止了沿海冰层的形成，北极熊无法在没有海冰的海域捕猎，就只能呆在有丰富食物来源的村庄附近，当地北极熊巡逻队队长米南科告诉记者：“要是没有大范围的结冰，海冰就无法形成，这些熊就会继续留在沿岸地带。”
The village is frequently visited by polar bears, but this year the amount is unusually high. The Russian branch of the World Wildlife Fund said climate change was to blame, as unusually warm temperatures prevented coastal ice from forming. The polar bears cannot hunt without sea ice, so they stay near the village instead, as there are abundant food sources.
"The number of human and predator encounters in the Arctic is increasing," the WWF said in statement.
"The main reason is the decline of sea ice area due to the changing climate. In the absence of ice cover, animals are forced to go ashore in search of food."
According to Russian media, the sea ice will take two more weeks to form and the bears will not leave the village until then.
在海冰形成前，这些饥肠辘辘的“熊孩子”还是会继续在村子周围逗留。
