据美国有线电视新闻网报道，当地时间7月18日，美国得克萨斯州第二大公立学区——达拉斯独立学区宣布，从今年8月开始，该学区中学生只能携带透明或者网状背包上学。在造成21人丧生的尤瓦尔迪市罗布小学枪击案发生后，得州不少学区宣布要实施这一安全措施，以防止枪支进入校园。

 

The Dallas school district announced Monday that it will require students to carry clear or mesh¹ backpacks to class, joining other Texas districts in implementing² new security measures following the Uvalde school massacre⁴.

在乌瓦尔德校园枪击案发生后，达拉斯学区7月18日宣布，和得克萨斯州其他学区一起实施新的安全措施，要求学生携带透明或网状背包上学。

 

The new rules apply to 6th-12th grade students at Dallas Independent School District -- the second-largest public school district in Texas -- and will take effect when the upcoming 2022-2023 school year begins in August. Other types of bags will no longer be allowed, according to the school district.

新规定适用于得州第二大公立学区——达拉斯独立学区的6-12年级学生，并将在8月即将到来的2022-2023学年开始时生效。该学区称，将禁止学生携带其他类型的背包。

 

"We acknowledge that clear or mesh backpacks alone will not eliminate safety concerns," the district said in its announcement. "This is merely one of several steps in the district's comprehensive plan to better ensure student and staff safety."

达拉斯学区在公告中表示：“我们承认，仅仅凭透明或网状背包并不能消除安全隐患，这只是学区全面安全计划中的措施之一，目的是更好地确保学生和教职员工的安全。”

 

The district has already purchased the clear bags, and is set to distribute them before the start of the school year, the statement said.

声明称，达拉斯学区已经购买了透明书包，并计划在新学年开始前分发给学生。

 

The decision was made based on feedback from students and parents, as well as recommendations from a safety task force at the district, the district said.

该学区表示，这一决定是根据学生和家长的反馈以及学区安全工作组的建议做出的。

 

The backpack requirements in Dallas follow fresh scrutiny⁵ of safety measures after a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers inside Robb Elementary in Uvalde on May 24, the second-deadliest shooting at a K-12 school in the US.

5月24日，一名持枪歹徒在乌瓦尔德的罗布小学杀害了19名儿童和两名教师，这是美国基础教育学校发生的第二起大规模枪击案。此后，达拉斯学区加强安全审查措施，要求学生携带透明背包。

 

The Dallas school district isn't the only one in Texas stepping up security measures.

达拉斯学区并不是得州唯一一个加强安全措施的学区。

 

Last week, a school district in Seguin, near San Antonio, said it would move to a clear backpack policy for middle and high school students in the new school year.

上周，圣安东尼奥附近塞金学区表示，将在新学年实施初高中学生必须携带透明背包的规定。

 

A school district in Greenville, about 50 miles northeast of Dallas, announced in early June a shift to clear backpacks and that it would implement³ additional security measures for the upcoming year, which include keeping classroom doors locked at all times and limiting access points into its schools.

位于达拉斯东北约50英里的格林维尔学区6月初宣布，将规定学生携带透明背包，并将在来年实施更多安全措施，包括始终锁住教室门，限制进入学校入口等。
