【正文】

Daniel Nietzel is a teacher at the Muscatine Community School district in Iowa, not an entrepreneur. But a new gadget that he developed with a group of his colleagues has received nationwide press in the week since its launch.
Daniel Nietzel 是一名爱荷华州马斯卡廷社区学校区的一名老师，他并不是一名企业家。但是他和他同事发明的一款小工具从发布以来的那周就获得了全国媒体的关注。

“The Sleeve” addresses the fear that teachers across the country have faced since a shooter walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut in December 2012, then proceeded to shoot and kill 20 children and six staff members.
那款名叫“sleeve”的工具是为了解决全国教师们的恐惧，自从2012年12月一名枪击者走入位于康涅狄格州的桑迪胡克小学射杀了20名学生和6名教师以来，这种恐惧已经蔓延到全国。

“There’s not a teacher that goes to work every day that doesn’t somewhere in the back of their mind think that could be a possibility,” Nietzel tells Quartz. “When a locker slams in the doorway at a time of day that it shouldn’t, you go like, was that a gun shot?”
“已经没有哪个老师在每天去上班的时候心里不认为会有受到这种袭击的可能，”Nietzel告诉Quartz，“当一个门锁砰地在门口关上，而这样的事情并不应该在一天的那个时候发生，你心里会想，是不是发生枪击了？”

The next question many teachers ask is how to protect their classroom, which is actually harder than it might seem: US schools are now providing training on what to do if a gunman is roaming the halls, and practicing classroom lockdown drills. But classroom doors in most schools can only be locked from the outside, so there is no easy way for teachers or students to secure them.
老师们面临的下一个问题是，如何保护他们的教室，这个问题比它表面上看上去的要困难：美国学校现在提供当一个持枪人进入大厅的时候应该怎样做的培训，以及将教室封闭的演练。但是在大多数学校里教室的门只能从外面锁上，所以老师和学生要确保自己的安全并没有简单的方法。

To address this problem, Nietzel and his colleagues came up with the Sleeve, a steel piece that slides onto the door closer hinge at the top of classroom doors, and prevents the door from opening.
为了解决这个问题，Nietzel和他的同事们发明了“Sleeve”，它是一块钢铁，可以将它插入教室门上方的转轴，这样它就能阻止门被打开。

人才啊。

下个月

森森的悲催感

扛着镰刀

下次估计会带个火力更大一点的武器，甚至可能带个火箭筒来。
