By replacing plants with impervious surfaces, cities trap heat, and create a phenomenon known as the urban heat island.

城市中因为缺少植物，地表使用了不挥发水分的材料，所以热量无法散掉，造成了城市热岛现象。

Be careful not to cover plants too closely, which could trap heat and defeat the purpose of shading.

注意不要把植物遮盖得过于密实，那样会使热量散发不出去，达不到遮荫的目的。

There are a few other plants with rapid movement abilities (such as the Venus fly trap) but this is the most bizarre and least known.

很少有其他植物有这种快速摇动枝叶的能力(如捕蝇草)，但舞草是最神奇且不为人所知。

Beijing catches so much of the pollution from coal-burning power plants because it sits at the center of a ring of mountains, which help trap the smog.

This bare, sandy earth then becomes an effective rain trap - with no vegetation, water cannot be lost through transpiration (the evaporation of water from plants).
