'So bright it was frightening': Dazzling meteor 'fireball' hurtles through the skies above Britain

A meteor 'fireball' shot across the dark skies over Britain last night leaving behind a streak of bright light.

一个火球状的流星发着耀眼的光划过昨晚英国的上空。

Stargazers from across the country reported seeing an 'incredibly bright' light heading from east to west with a green trail in its wake.

全国的天文学家报道看见了一道及其明亮的光拖着绿色的尾巴从东到西划过天空。

So intense was the fireball that it stopped ordinary people going about their daily business dead in their tracks.

人们都很紧张并停止日常工作以免进入这火流星的轨道而被砸到。

One witness in Anglesey said a large ball hurtled past 'with bits coming away from it'.

一个安格尔西岛的目击者称，他看见一个巨大的火球猛冲下了，离天空越来越远。

stations and social networking sites were flooded by members of the public saying they had spotted a 'fireball' in the sky at about 5.40pm yesterday.

无线电台和社交网站上人们议论纷纷，他们在昨天下午5点40分的时候发现了空中的火球。

People from all over Britain - from Somerset to Aberdeen - were left astounded by the bright light, which lasted for about five seconds.

整个英国的人们——从萨默塞特到亚伯丁——都被那在空中持续了5秒钟的亮光所震惊。

Some were even left frightened by the sheer intensity of the display, while many thought they were seeing a rare meteor shower.

有些人纯粹被这光的强度所惊恐，而另一些则认为他们看到了一场罕见的流星雨。

Keith Levitt, 67, from Aberffraw on Anglesey, went outside his house to empty shopping from his car at 5.40pm when he spotted a bright light in the sky.

Keith Levitt，67岁，来自安格尔西岛的Aberffraw城，在5点40分看到了天上的亮光，就在他准备把买到的东西搬回家的时候。

'Initially, I thought it was the light from a plane,' he told the BBC. 'Then I suddenly realised it was a ball with bits coming away from it. I realised it was a meteor.

"一开始，我还以为是飞机发出的光，"他告诉BBC记者"当我突然发现它是球状，而且拖着尾巴，我才发现是一颗流星。"

'It was a large object, I only saw it for two or three seconds. It was going in a low trajectory then petered out into nothing.

"这颗流星很大，我只看到2到3秒的时间，然后它沿着很低的轨道飞过，慢慢消失了。"

'I've never seen anything so large and so close. I've seen shooting stars but this was quite spectacular because it was so large.'

"我到现在还没这么近距离地见过这么大的东西。我以前看过流星，但这次这个这么大，实在是太壮观了。"

Experts today said that despite the appearances, the meteor was probably only the size of a football.

今天专家们说，尽管看起来这么壮观，这颗流星可能只有一个足球的大小。

The piece of space rock would have been travelling at an altitude of 60 to 70 miles.

这颗太空陨石很可能是从60到70英里的高空坠落的。

The green trail left in its wake was the result of it having burst into flames as it made its way through Earth's atmosphere.

流星绿色的尾迹是由于陨石穿越大气层时摩擦燃烧而形成的火焰。

Dr Robert Massey, of the Royal Astronomical Society, said: 'A meteor so widely visible is quite rare.

皇家天文协会的Robert Massey博士说，"一颗流星在这么大范围被看见是很罕见的。"

'Whether anything fell to Earth or not, we won't know for sure until we've seen an image of it.'

'"是否有东西落到地球，我们只有看到其影像才能确定。"

The sightings come just days before the annual Geminid meteor shower, seen here from Tillingham, Essex, in December 1996 The sightings come just days before the annual Geminid meteor shower.

这次的景观在每年一度的双子座流星雨之前的几天发生，要知道上次还有追溯到1996年12月埃塞克斯的Tillingham镇。

The annual cosmic fireworks have been growing in intensity in recent decades with up to 160 meteors visible per hour under optimal conditions.

最近几十年来，在理想状态下每年能见到的宇宙奇观越来越多而且也越来频繁了。

They travel across the sky at about 22miles per second and are fairly easy to spot.

陨石群以每秒22英里的速度穿过天空而且更容易为人们发现。

The Geminids are caused by the Earth crossing the debris-strewn path of the extinct comet 3200 Phaethon.

双子座流星雨是由于地球穿过3200 Phaethon彗星的轨道而造成的。

The first recorded sightings were in 1862 in England and the U.S. In these early days only 14 meteors were recorded per hour.

双子座流星雨的第一次记录是在1862年的英格兰和美国。前期记录中，平均每小时有14颗流星落下。

In September, a pristine meteor crater was discovered on Google Earth in the Egyptian desert.

九月份，人们在谷歌地球上发现了埃及的一个古老的陨石坑。

The Kamil crater, which is 52 feet deep and almost 150 feet wide, is deep within the desert, and was unknown until it was seen on Google Earth.

Kamil 陨石坑，宽约150英尺深52英尺，深埋在沙漠里，直到人们从谷歌地球上发现才得以重见天日。

Caused by a ten-tonne chunk of iron travelling at more than 7,500mph, it is one of the best preserved sites ever found.

它是由于一个将近10吨的铁陨石以7500米每小时的速度撞击而成的，也是目前发现的保存最为完好的陨石坑之一。

Scientists hope its discovery will help determine the risks of further potentially catastrophic impacts.

科学家们希望此次的发现能够帮助人们预防外来天体毁灭性地撞击。

Fruit and vegetables do not protect against overall risk of cancer, review concludes | Science | The Guardian---研究表明多吃蔬菜和水果无助于预防癌症

protect against overall risk of cancer, review concludes | Science | The Guardian

研究表明多吃蔬菜和水果无助于预防癌症

Eating lots of fruit and vegetables will do little to reduce your risk of developing cancer, according to a review of a decade of research involving more than a million people. It concluded that maintaining a healthy weight and cutting down on smoking and drinking are far better ways to ward off the disease.

一项对过去十年总数涉及100万人的多项研究所作的综述显示，大量进食蔬菜和水果对于减轻癌症风险的效果微乎其微。这项研究表明，保持合理的体重，少吸烟喝酒更有助于让人体远离疾病。3

Vegetables and fruit are important for a healthy diet but the review says that eating increased amounts does not seem to offer much protection against cancer.

蔬菜和水果或许对于健康饮食很重要，但是研究综述表明增大其摄入量似乎并不能保护人体不受癌症的侵害。

"There's strong scientific evidence to show that, after smoking, being overweight and alcohol are two of the biggest cancer risks," said Tim Key, an epidemiologist from Oxford University, who wrote the review.

"许多科学研究都证实，吸烟，过度肥胖和酗酒是导致癌症的主要原因，"该综述的作者，牛津大学流行病学家蒂姆·基说道。

In an article published today in the British Journal of Cancer, Key summarised the epidemiological evidence from more than a million people taking part in several dozen long-term research projects looking at the amount of fruit and vegetables people eat and their overall cancer risk. He also studied specific cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, lung and breast.

Key在《英国癌症期刊》中的一篇文章中列举了支持这一结论的流行病学证据，这些证据是从超过100万人参加的多个长期研究项目中得出的，他们观察这些人的水果蔬菜摄入量和癌症几率。他甚至研究了一些具体的癌症，比如胃癌，肠癌，肺癌和乳腺癌。

Key found little, if any, connection between eating lots of fruits and vegetables and the likelihood of developing cancer. "The conclusion implies that, at least in relatively well-nourished westernised populations, a general increase in total fruit and vegetable intake will not have a large impact on cancer rates," he wrote. "A certain level of intake is necessary to prevent nutrient deficiencies, but intakes above that level do not make the relavant tissues 'super healthy'."

Key发现大量进食蔬菜和水果和患癌症几乎没有任何联系。"结果表明，至少在相对营养良好的西方人口中，增加蔬菜和水果的摄入量对于癌症患病率没有太大影响，"他在文中这样写道，"一定的摄入量对于避免营养不良是必须的，但是当摄入量超过这个水平时，并没有让身体变的更加健康。

The studies included data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, the Pooling Project based at Harvard University, and the National Institutes of Health and American Association of Retired Persons Diet and Health Study.

研究综述中的数据来源包括欧洲对于癌症和营养的前瞻性调查数据，哈佛大学的民调系统数据，美国国立卫生研究院的数据和美国退休人员饮食与健康研究项目的数据。3

The idea that fruit and veg might help reduce cancer rates was first postulated in the 1970s, when the results of a small-scale study showed that, after controlling for smoking, people with reduced intakes of vitamin A were at increased risk of lung cancer. By the 1990s, scientists were concluding that "for most cancer sites, persons with low fruit and vegetable intake experience about twice the risk of cancer compared to those with a high intake, even after control for potentially confounding factors."

蔬菜和水果能够帮助减低癌症患病几率这一说法始于上世纪70年代，当时的一项基于少数人的研究表明，在通过对照排除了吸烟的情况下，维他命A摄入量的减少会导致癌症患病率的增加。到了上世纪90年代，科学家得出结论，"在通过对照排除了其他干扰因素的情况下，对身体大多数部位的癌症来说，蔬菜和水果摄入量低的人群的癌症患病率是摄入量高的人群的两倍。"1

But these "case-control" studies – where people with a disease are matched with controls who do not have the disease – still suffered from confounding factors. "While a lot of those [earlier] case-control studies do try and adjust for how much people smoke and how much people drink, there's always a worry that you haven't completely adjusted for that because smoking and drinking have such a massive impact on the risk of those cancers," said Ed Yong, head of health evidence and information at Cancer Research UK.

但是这样将患病的人与健康人进行对比的"病例对照"研究仍然总是受到其他因素的干扰。"虽然那些早期的病例对照研究曾试图将人们吸烟和饮酒量化，但是他们总是不能排除这些因素的干扰，因为吸烟和饮酒确实对癌症患病率有很大的影响，"英国癌症研究院信息数据组负责人埃德·扬说道。

Key said case-control studies can suffer from two main types of bias. "One is that people with cancer may be under treatment so it may affect how they remember what they used to eat in the years before they developed cancer. They may be feeling ill or under strong medical treatment."

Key表示病例对照研究有两大主要的偏向性。"一个是癌症患者可能在接受治疗，这影响到他们回忆自己患病前很多年中的饮食结构，他们可能自我感觉很虚弱或者正在接受很强烈的治疗（以至于回想不起来）。"1

A bigger problem is with the selection of the control group, which might not be entirely random. "People who come forward are those interested in health and related behaviours," said Key. "The controls may well appear to have a healthy diet because the potential controls with an unhealthy diet may have stayed in the pub eating chips and beans and not volunteered to be studied."

另一个更大的问题是，病例对照人群的选择或许并不完全是随机的。"参与到研究项目中的人大多都对健康和相关的东西感兴趣，"Key说道，"所以这样的对照组的研究结果显示的是饮食结构都趋于合理，而另外的一些饮食不那么健康的人，却没有参加到对照组中。"

A better way to analyse the relationship between diet and cancer is to conduct "prospective studies", which ideally follow hundreds of thousands of people who don't have cancer. "They tell you what they eat and you follow them until, inevitably, some of them do develop cancer," said Key. "But you made the measurements when they're healthy, so the biases don't apply. Those types of studies have been coming out in the last 10-15 years and have not supported the original findings [from case-control groups]."

一种更好的研究饮食与癌症关系的方法是做"前瞻性研究"，也就是说，将几十万的未患癌症的人做为研究对象。"让这些人告诉你他们的饮食结构，然后对这些人进行跟踪研究，直到他们中的一些人患上癌症为止，"Key说道，"因为你在他们健康时就做了测量，所以对照组偏向性就不会产生。这一类型的研究持续了10到15年，结果表明，通过病例对照研究而得出的结论站不住脚。"

Key's review supports work published in April in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Paolo Boffetta from the Tisch Cancer Institute at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York found that eating a lot of fruit and vegetables has only "a very modest" protective effect against cancer. That conclusion was based on a decade of research on almost 500,000 people in 10 European countries.

Key研究综述的结论和4月份发表在《国家癌症学会杂志》上的一篇文章不谋而合。纽约西奈山医学院蒂施癌症研究学院保罗·波费塔也发现大量进食水果和蔬菜只对癌症有微乎其微的抑制作用。他的这一结论是在对欧洲十国大约50万人的研究数据上做出的。

Despite the results of the studies, Yong said it was still a good idea for people get their minimum daily five portions of fruits and vegetables. "It's not a bad message because it could help people to lose weight, which is a massive cause of cancer, and it could displace other [unhealthier] things in their diet," he said. "There's no harm to eating lots of fruits and vegetables and there are benefits for other diseases as well, such as heart disease."

虽然研究结果表明水果和蔬菜并未对抑制癌症起到多大作用，但是扬认为人们每天保持一定的摄取量仍然对身体有好处。"这不是个坏消息，因为蔬菜和水果能够帮助人们减轻体重，而过度肥胖是癌症的主因之一，况且它们还能让人们少吃不健康的东西，"他说，"多吃蔬菜和水果一点害处也没有，而且它们可以防止其他疾病，比如心脏病。"

Cost of Living Increasingly a Struggle for China's Poor---中国穷人在通胀之下苦苦挣扎

Cost of Living Increasingly a Struggle for China's Poor

中国穷人在通胀之下苦苦挣扎

BEIJING — China's poor are being hit hard as the cost of putting dinner on the table soars, sharpening resentment and highlighting a fast-growing gap between rich and poor.

北京）一日三餐的花费不断增加，让中国的穷人很受伤。这加剧了他们的怨恨情绪，也凸显了贫富差距的迅速扩大。

Vegetable prices are up anywhere from a third to double over the same time last year. Cooking oil, fruit and some meats are also up, according to surveys, official figures and testimonies from food sellers and shoppers.

根据各种调查、官方数据及商家和消费者的证实，在中国各地，各种蔬菜价格比去年同期上涨了三成到一倍。食用油，水果和一些肉类的价格也上涨。1

The upshot is that China's poor — though not its rich — are struggling.

结果就让那些收入有限的中国穷人，在高物价下苦苦挣扎。

"Not all prices are going up. And not all people cannot afford it," said Ye Tan, a popular economist and media commentator. "This time inflation really is a problem of the poor. If you are middle class or rich, you don't notice that cabbage has gone up from 2 to 7 mao per half-kilo," or 4 to 11 U.S. cents, or that ginger now costs around 6 renminbi, or 90 cents, a half-kilogram, or just over a pound, about double the price of last year.

"并不是所有的东西都涨价，也并非所有的人都无法承受。"叶檀说。她是一位受人欢迎的经济学家和时事评论员。"这轮通胀对穷人的生活影响很大。如果你是中产或有钱人，你是不会留意到卷心菜的价格从每斤2毛涨到7毛的。"每斤生姜价格现在到了人民币6元左右，比去年价格翻番。中国的一斤，相当于美国的一磅多点。

Analysts say the causes of inflation are complex, but key factors include a surging money supply — up 47 percent since 2009, according to Jing Ulrich of J.P. Morgan — rising commodity prices overseas and a late, cold spring and summer rains. Others say fast economic growth inevitably produces some inflation. China's economy has grown an average of over 9 percent annually since 1989.

分析师说引起通胀的因素复杂。但关键的一些因素就是：货币供应量激增，自2009年以来，货币供应量增长了47%，摩根大通认为。而海外原材料商品的价格不断上涨，中国今年春寒时间较长，夏季多雨都是重要的因素。也有人认为，经济增长必然引发一些通胀。中国经济自1989年以来，平均每年增幅超过9%。

The consumer price index for October stands at 4.4 percent, above the government's goal of 3 percent. Ms. Ye expects the November figure to be between 4.7 and 4.8 percent, with increases to 5 percent next year. That's below a brief high of 8.7 percent in early 2008, but the government is worried enough to have introduced administrative measures, like lifting road tolls on trucks bringing food into cities. It has also announced a new, "prudent" monetary policy for 2011.

10月份公布的消费者价格指数为4.4%，超出了政府设定的3%的目标。叶檀女士预计11月份的CPI会在4.7%到4.8%之间。而明年会达到5%。相比2008年初的短期高位8.7%还有所降低。但政府仍十分忧虑通胀形势，并采取了行政措施，如取消了运输食品进城的卡车通行费。也公布了2011会采取新的"谨慎的"货币政策。

"Fear of inflation is hard-wired into their system," said a historian-turned-consultant, who spoke anonymously, reflecting political and social sensitivities.

"政府系统对通胀无不担忧。"一位不愿透露姓名的咨询顾问说，反映了当下政治和社会的对此的敏感。

The Chinese Communist Party never forgets it seized power in 1949 following not just military victory, but also hyperinflation under the Kuomintang government, he said. High inflation in the late 1980s — around 20 percent in 1988 — was a major cause of unrest leading to the 1989 democracy movement that nearly toppled the party.

中国共产党不会忘记，1949年国民党的失败不只是在军事上的，而且也是国民党政府经济恶性通货膨胀的后果。这位由历史学家改行的咨询顾问说。中国从上世纪80年代晚期开始的，到1988年最高达到20%的一轮通胀，也是引发次年发生的，重大不稳定事件的主要因素之一。

A divorced Beijing father surnamed Wei, who asked that his full name not be used for shame at his poverty, is trying to put his daughter through college on a pension of 1,000 renminbi, or $150, a month.

离了婚的魏先生，因为自己太穷了，感到抬不起头，所以让我们报道时，别公布他的全名。他现在仅靠着每月1,000元人民币的退休金过活，还要供养自己的女儿读大学。

"I can't afford fruit at all now," said Mr. Wei, 52, who took early retirement at 50. "I only buy the cheapest vegetables, like cabbage and radishes."

52岁的魏先生说，"我现在根本买不起水果。"他50岁时提前退休。"我只能买些最便宜的蔬菜，象卷心菜和萝卜。"

Cakes and other prepared foods are out, as he tries to squeeze his personal expenditure to 400 renminbi a month. The rest is for his daughter. He believes President Hu Jintao's government is doing more for the poor than former President Jiang Zemin's, but the government's small subsidies for low-income households don't help much. He's angry about the inequality he sees around him.

更别想买蛋糕和其他方便食品了，他努力把自己每月的开销压到400块人民币，把剩下的钱都给他女儿。他相信本届政府正在为穷人提供更多的帮助。但政府小额的补贴，对于低收入家庭起到的作用有限。他对自己身边目睹的不公平感到愤怒。

"It feels unfair, for sure, that for many years now the rich have been getting more and more rich," he said, "while people like me live a life that's more and more poor."

"这让人感到不公平，这么多年了，有钱人越来越有钱，而像我这样的穷人，生活越来越贫困。"

China's income inequality is growing steadily. That explains why inflation is increasingly controversial, even if it's still below the spike of early 2008.

中国收入不平衡的情况日益加剧。这就解释了现在的通胀率虽然比2008年初低，但却引起越来越多的争议。

Accurate data are hard to come by, but many economists estimate the country's Gini coefficient — the index of inequality — crossed the danger threshold of 0.4 about a decade ago. On the Gini scale, 0 represents complete equality and 1 represents complete inequality.

我们很难得到精确的数据，但很多经济学家估计，中国目前的基尼系数---即不平等指数---早在10年前就超过了0.4的安全值。基尼系数为0时，表示社会完全平等，而1代表社会彻底的不平等。

Officially, it is somewhere around 0.45-0.5, similar to the United States. But a landmark study earlier this year on unreported income, by the economist Wang Xiaolu at the China Reform Foundation, found that hidden income totaled $1.5 trillion, with 80 percent in the hands of the richest 20 percent. That would put China's Gini index at over 0.5, on par with many South American countries, and, if trends continue, headed for the income inequality of much of Africa.

然而，官方发布的基尼系数一直徘徊在0.45-0.5左右，很美国的基尼系数相仿。但今年初，中国改革基金会(China Reform Foundation)的经济学家王小鲁做了一项里程碑式的研究。研究发现，中国社会中有1.5万亿美元的灰色收入，其中的80%由20%中国最富有的人掌握。这样一来，中国的基尼系数就会超过0.5，和南美国家相当。如果这种收入不公的趋势持续，中国的基尼系数将会和非洲国家为伍。

Average incomes are rising, but remain low, especially in the countryside. Urban disposable incomes averaged 17,175 renminbi per capita in 2009, according to government figures, and 5,153 renminbi in the countryside. With households spending about 40 percent of their income on food, inflation in that sector quickly translates into hardship for millions.

中国国民的平均收入是在增长，但仍然处于低水平。特别是在中国农村。2009年，政府数据显示，城市居民可支配收入平均为人民币17,175元。而农村居民为5,153元。而家庭收入的40%用于食品开支，在食品领域发生的通胀，很快让无数人的人生活陷入困苦。1

Zhu Xuliang is one of Beijing's thousands of taxi drivers, who typically work 12-hour days, six days a week. He earns about 3,000 renminbi a month for his family of three — a nonworking wife and 14-year-old daughter. They are all tightening their belts.

朱旭亮（音译）是北京的一位的哥。每天照例要工作12个小时，一周干六天。一月挣3,000多块人民币养活一家三口。妻子没有工作，而女儿才14岁。他们都得勒紧裤腰带过日子。

"We have squeezed family food spending from about 1,500 renminbi to 1,000 renminbi a month," he said.

"我们现在把家里的食品开支，从每月1,500元，压缩到1,000元。"他说。

Mr. Zhu has an advantage over Mr. Wei — he is from the countryside near Beijing. With prices rising, he has started going home on weekends to pick up free food from his farming relatives: mostly potatoes, onions and cabbage.

相比魏先生，朱旭亮还有些"优势"。他来自北京郊区，看着价格上涨，他开始在周末的时候回家，到那些还在种田的亲戚家去拿些免费的食物，大部分是土豆，洋葱和卷心菜。

"We're O.K. because I get these things. But we have stopped eating out. KFC, all that, don't do it anymore. In fact the real problem is that even as we save, the taxi company wants more money from us to cover its rising fuel costs. So overall my income has shrunk over the last two years. I used to earn 3,500 renminbi."

"我们还过得去，我还能有这些东西吃。我们已经不在外面吃饭了，象肯德基这些的。但真正的问题是，即便我们这样省钱，出租车公司还要我们多交营业款，来弥补汽油价格上涨的成本。因此，这两年，我收入反倒减少了，我那时一月可以挣3,500块人民币。"

Yang, 26, is a native Beiijnger and office worker who lives with his parents. He considers himself lucky as he pays no rent, so his 3,500 renminbi income goes further than for some.

26岁的小杨，是个地道的北京人，在公司打工，和父母住一块。他庆幸自己不用付房租。所以他的3,500比其相同收入的来的经用些。

"Supermarkets are offering fewer discounts all the time, and fruit, vegetables and meat are all up," said Mr. Yang, who asked that his full name not be used to avoid exposing his financial situation.

"超市打折越来越少，水果，蔬菜和肉的价格一直在上涨。"他也不希望我们公布他的全名，免得让人家知道收入状况。2

What to do with his modest savings is another problem. Bank deposit rates are too low to make an account worthwhile, he said. "I can tell you a secret," he said. "I'm buying gold to hold my money's value. There's no better way."

谈到他节省下来的一些钱如何处理，他不避讳地说："我告诉你个秘密，我现在正在买黄金保值。没有其他途经。"存银行的利率实在太低了。

"Really, I want to go abroad, but I can't afford to," he said. "I think there is more fairness in foreign countries. I come from a family without any special social connections, so all I can do is trust in the gods."

"说实在，我想去国外，但我没这个钱。"他说，"我想在外国，社会会公平得多，我家里也没有什么特殊的社会关系，所以，一切只能听天由命。"

Foods to Boost Male Health--- Red-Orange Vegetables

最有益于男性健康的食物---红-橙蔬菜

Vitamin C and beta-carotene are antioxidants that help preserve healthy skin cells and prevent oxidation from the sun.

维生素C和胡萝卜素是抗氧化剂，帮助维护皮肤细胞健康和抵抗阳光的氧化作用。

"Vitamin C is involved in collagen production," says Bauer. "Beta-carotene converts to the active form of vitamin A, which helps to repair epithelial or skin cells."

"维生素C参与胶原蛋白的形成，"Bauer说。"胡萝卜素可转化为维生素A来帮助修复上皮细胞或皮肤细胞。"

She recommends getting these nutrients from red bell peppers (just one has 300% of the recommended daily value for vitamin C), carrots, pumpkin, or sweet potatoes.

她建议从红柿椒（一颗就含有日推荐剂量的300%的VC），胡萝卜，南瓜，或者甜番薯获取这些营养物质。

But for that matter, just about any vegetable should be on the list of top foods for men (and women). Dark, leafy greens and any nutrient-rich vegetable can help reduce the risk of enlarged prostates, according to a recent study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

就此而言，几乎所有蔬菜都应该被列在男性（和女性）最需要的食物清单上。根据美国营养杂志的最新研究：深色，多叶绿色植物和任何富含营养物质的蔬菜都可以帮助男性降低前列腺肥大的风险。

Men whose diets are high in nutrients found in vegetables -- like vitamin C, beta-carotene, and potassium – were found to be less likely to develop benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), or enlarged prostate.

选用富含VC，胡萝卜素和钾元素蔬菜作为饮食的男性被发现具有更低的患前列腺增生和肥大的可能性。

The violet, blue, and red colors in all kinds of berries and cherries are responsible for the healthy properties of these fruits. These little jewels are chock-full of the health-protecting flavonoid, anthocyanin.

紫，蓝，红…所有浆果类和樱桃的颜色都是这类水果中健康物质的体现。这些小珍珠们体内充满了可维持健康的类黄酮和花青素。

"Berries contain over 4,000 different compounds that have antioxidant properties beyond vitamin C, so make sure you include these delicious and low-calorie fruits to help meet your 5+ servings of fruits each day," says Gerbstadt.

"浆果类包含4000多种不同的比维生素C更有效的抗氧化物质，所以请确保你每天要吃至少5份这种美味并且低热量的水果。"Gerbstadt说。

Adding berries to the diet may even help slow the decline in brain function that can occur with aging.

在饮食中加入浆果可以帮助降低大脑功能随年纪增长的衰退。

"Large studies show the more produce you eat the better, but specifically berries (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, and cherries) can enhance brain function and keep your brain healthy," says Bauer.

"大量研究表明，农产品吃的越多越好，而这些特殊的浆果（黑莓，蓝莓，草莓树莓，蔓越莓和樱桃）可以强健脑部功能，保持大脑健康，"Bauer说。

Soy is rich in isoflavones, which protect prostate health and have been shown to lower prostate cancer risk, says Gerbstadt.

大豆富含大豆异黄酮，可保护前列腺健康，已被表明可降低患前列腺癌的风险，Gerbstadt说。

And "according to a recent study, eating 25 grams or about 1 ounce of soy protein a day can help decrease cholesterol," Farrell says.

并且"根据最新研究，每天获取25克或者1盎司的大豆蛋白可以降低胆固醇含量。"Farrell说。

The FDA has approved a health claim for food labels that says having 25 grams of soy protein per day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, can help reduce the risk of heart disease.

食品及药物管理局已经认可了一项声明说每天摄入25克低脂肪和低胆固醇的大豆蛋白可减少心脏病风险。

Try to eat a few servings a day of soy products, such as soy nuts, soy milk, soy cheese, veggie burgers, tofu, or edamame.

所以，试着每天吃一些大豆制品吧，像豆类干果，豆奶，豆奶起司，蔬菜汉堡，豆腐，或者日本毛豆。

2010-12-08T07:50:00.001-08:00

Foods to Boost Male Health--- Plant Stanols

最有益于男性健康的食物---植物甾醇

Stanols are naturally occurring substances in fruits and vegetables that have been shown to lower mildly elevated blood cholesterol levels. Manufacturers are now adding concentrated versions of them to products like margarine, yogurt, orange juice, and granola bars.

甾醇自然存在于水果蔬菜中，已经被证明可以温和的减低血管胆固醇水平。一些工厂在生产奶油，酸奶，橙汁，和格兰诺拉燕麦卷的时候会添加这种物质的浓缩形态。

"Men should regularly include a total of 2 grams of plant stanols, taken in two doses with meals, to help inhibit absorption of cholesterol in the intestine," says Farrell.

"男性应该始终把体内植物甾醇的的含量保持在2克，随饭分两次摄入，它可以抑制肠内胆固醇的吸收。"Farrell说。

She suggests having 2-3 teaspoons of plant stanol spreads such as Benecol, or 16 ounces of stanol-fortified orange juice per day. Plant stanols can safely be used with cholesterol lowering medication.

她建议每天食用2-3茶匙植物甾醇制品，如Benecol，或者16盎司添加甾醇的橙汁。植物甾醇可用来作为安全降低胆固醇的药物。

2010-12-07T07:15:00.001-08:00

Foods to Boost Male Health--- Whole Grains

最有益于男性健康的食物---全谷类

Most men get enough carbs in their diets, but they tend to be the wrong kind, experts say.

大多数男性在他们的饮食中已经摄入了足够的碳水化合物，但却都是些错误的种类，专家说。

"A diet rich in whole grains provides fiber, vitamins, minerals – all the co-factors for heart health, building muscles, and keeping waistlines small," says Gerbstadt.

"全谷类饮食可提供纤维素，维生素，和矿物质 – 所有这些因素共同作用维护我们的心脏健康，强壮肌肉并使我们的腰围缩小，"Gerbstadt说。

She suggests trying whole grain pasta or quinoa, a trendy, not-so-whole-grain-tasting grain that's rich in lutein for prostate health.

她建议尝试全谷意大利面或藜麦，尝起来不是那么的'全谷味'，又富含有益于前列腺健康的叶黄素。

Oatmeal and barley are rich in soluble fiber, full of B vitamins that can help lower LDL or "bad" cholesterol, and are also good for the prostate. Suzanne Farrell, RD, recommends getting 10-25 grams of soluble fiber a day from oatmeal or other sources of soluble fiber like apples, pears, and beans.

燕麦和大麦富含可溶性纤维素，可降低低密度脂蛋白和坏胆固醇的维生素B，并也对前列腺健康很有好处。Suzanne Farrell（RD）建议每天从燕麦粥或其他可溶性纤维素来源，比如苹果，梨，豆类中摄入10-25克该纤维素。

When buying grain products, look for those whose labels say they have at least 3-5 g fiber per serving.

当我们购买谷类产品的时候，找那些商标上写着每份含3-5克纤维素的。

To avoid digestive problems, increase your fiber intake gradually, and don't forget to drink plenty of water.

为了避免消化出现问题，你需要逐渐的增加纤维素摄入量，也不要忘了要喝大量的水。

Foods to Boost Male Health--- Brazil Nuts 最有益于男性健康的食物---巴西果

2010-12-06T07:10:00.001-08:00

Foods to Boost Male Health--- Brazil Nuts

最有益于男性健康的食物---巴西果

These large nuts from Brazil are packed with magnesium and selenium, powerful antioxidants that may help prevent heart disease and cancer and protect prostate health. (Bauer, however, notes that the studies showing reduction in cancer have been primarily in people whose diets were deficient in selenium, not in those who were already getting enough.)

这些大颗的巴西果富含预防心脏病和癌症以及保护前列腺健康的抗氧化剂'镁'和'硒'。（然而Bauer却指出，研究表明癌症的减少首先发生在硒元素摄入不足的人群中。）

Selenium also helps lower LDL or "bad" cholesterol and reduces the incidence of blood clots and heart disease.

'硒'还可以帮助降低低密度脂蛋白或者'坏'胆固醇浓度，并减低血栓和心脏病的发病率。

Grotto recommends adults get 55 micrograms of selenium daily from Brazil nuts, dry-roasted nuts, turkey, tuna, or shellfish. Indeed, you can get your daily dose of selenium in just one Brazil nut. In fact, Bauer cautions limiting yourself to no more than two Brazil nuts per day because "they are so loaded and concentrated with selenium that you don't want to overdose."

Grotto建议成天每天需从巴西果，干果，火鸡，金枪鱼或者贝壳类食物中摄入55毫克硒。真的！你只需要吃一颗巴西果就可以达到日剂量。事实上Bauer告诫说要限制你每天吃不超过2颗，因为"它们的浓缩硒元素含量实在太丰富了，你不会想要多吃的。"

Foods to Boost Male Health--- Broccoli

最有益于男性健康的食物---花椰菜

While virtually all vegetables deserve a place on the super foods list, cruciferous vegetables like broccoli are helpful in the prevention of heart disease and cancer. It's loaded with vitamin C, beta-carotene, potassium, and a phytochemical called sulphoraphane, which has strong anticancer (prostate and colon) properties.

事实上所有的蔬菜都应该在这份超级食物清单上占有一席之地，而十字花科蔬菜，像花椰菜，可以帮助我们有效预防心脏病和癌症。它富含维生素C，胡萝卜素，钾元素，和一种叫做莱服子硫的强效抗癌（前列腺和结肠癌）的植物化学物质。

A recent Harvard study found that participants who had five servings a week of cruciferious vegetables were half as likely as others to develop bladder cancer, a cancer that affects two to three times as many men as women. This super-nutritious green vegetable may also help lower levels of homocycteine, an amino acid associated with increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

一项最近的哈佛研究发现每周食用5份十字花科蔬菜的参与者们患膀胱癌的概率是其他人的一半。这种超级营养的绿色蔬菜还可以降低一种叫高同型半胱氨酸（可增加心脏病和中风的危险）的氨基酸水平。

Don't care for broccoli? Go for other cruciferous choices like cabbage, bok choy, shredded broccoli slaw, cabbage, cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts.

不喜欢吃花椰菜？去找其他的十字花科蔬菜啊，像卷心菜，白菜，花椰菜沙拉，花菜，甘蓝等。

And did you ever wonder where the term "cruciferous" originates? "It is not because they are crunchy vegetables, but when the buds from this group of vegetables sprouts, their leaves form a cross like a crucifix," explains Denver dietitian Mary Lee Chin, MS, RD.

你曾经好奇过'十字花科'这个名称是怎么来的吗？"可不是因为它们吃起来嘎吱嘎吱响，而是，当这类蔬菜发芽的时候，它们的叶子就会像十字架一样交叉。"丹佛营养学家Mary Lee Chin（MS,RD）解释道。

2010-12-04T07:00:00.001-08:00

Foods to Boost Male Health---Fatty Fish

最有益于男性健康的食物---脂质鱼

No list of super foods would be complete without the healthy fat, omega-3 fatty acids. These polyunsaturated fats are the preferred form of fats in your diet for many reasons. They can benefit the heart, circulation, and immune system and reduce the risk for prostate cancer, among other things.

没有健康脂肪'欧米茄3'的超级食物清单是不完整的，这些不饱和脂肪是你日常饮食脂肪中的首选。原因有很多：他们有益于心脏，免疫系统，并能降低前列腺癌的风险，等等。

"Omega-3 fatty acids are potent anti-inflammatory foods that can help lower triglyceride [blood fat] levels, reduce aches and pains in athletes, and offer relief with certain kinds of arthritis," says Bauer.

"欧米茄3脂肪酸是有效的抗炎类食品，可以帮助我们降低甘油三酸酯（血脂）水平，减轻运动员的酸疼，对某些类关节炎起到缓解作用。

Fatty fish (salmon, sardines, tuna, mackerel, herring) are the richest sources of omega-3 fatty acids. In fact the American Heart Association recommends that everyone eat fish twice weekly.

脂质鱼（三文鱼，沙丁，金枪鱼，鲭鱼，鲱鱼）富含欧米茄3脂肪酸。事实上，美国心脏协会建议每人每周吃两次鱼。

You can also get omega-3s in plant-based foods, like flaxseed, walnuts, soy, canola oil, and fortified products such as eggs. But there are other good reasons to eat fish.

你也可以在植物中，像亚麻仁，核桃，大豆，菜籽油，和强化食品比如蛋类中获取欧米茄3。但是显然吃鱼还有其它的好处啦。

"Fatty fish are also a good source of vitamin D, a nutrient that tends to be deficient in our diets and [which] in adequate supply can help prevent cancer, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and bone disease," says Bauer.

"另外，脂质鱼还是维生素D的丰富来源，维生素D在我们的日常饮食中经常摄入不足，而充足的维生素D可以帮住预防癌症，2型糖尿病，高血压和各类骨病，"Bauer说。

Foods to Boost Male Health---Bananas

最有益于男性健康的食物---香蕉

Bananas are a great portable source of quick energy and are rich in potassium, which is needed to regulate nerves, heartbeat and, especially, blood pressure. Diets rich in potassium and magnesium (which is also found in bananas) can reduce the risk of stroke.

香蕉是一种可轻便携带，快速补充能量的食物，富含调节神经，心率，尤其是血压所必须的钾元素。同时富含钾、镁（亦存在于香蕉中）的饮食可以降低中风的风险。

As a super source of vitamin B-6, bananas can also aid your immune system, help form red blood cells, ensure a well-functioning nervous system, and assist protein metabolism. So enjoy a banana each day, at breakfast on your whole grain-cereal or before your workout at the gym.

作为维生素B6的超级来源，香蕉还有益于你的免疫系统，帮助形成红细胞，保证神经系统正常运行，并能促进蛋白质的新陈代谢。所以，每天食用一根香蕉吧，在早餐吃全谷麦片的时候，或者是去健身房之前。

Foods to Boost Male Health---Oysters

最有益于男性健康的食物---牡蛎

Could there be something to the legend that oysters are the food of love? Well, it's true that just a few oysters each day will deliver a full day's supply of the antioxidant mineral zinc. Zinc is involved in hundreds of body processes, from producing DNA to repairing cells.

说牡蛎是爱情的养料，仅仅是在夸大它的神奇吗？好吧，每天吃几科牡蛎可以提供一整天的抗氧化矿物质'锌'，这可是真的。锌参与身体的各项机能，从产生DNA到细胞修复。

"Research shows that adequate zinc may protect against cellular damage that leads to prostate cancer," says Grotto. "Sexual functioning of the male reproductive system, including increased sperm counts, is also enhanced with zinc."

研究表明充足的锌使男性免受可导致前列腺癌的细胞损伤，"Grotto说，"锌可以促进男性生殖系统健康，增加精子数量，提高性功能水平。"

Take caution when considering eating uncooked oysters. An infection called Vibrio vulnificus is associated with the consumption of raw oysters. People with liver disease, heavy alcohol use, and chronic illnesses such as diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic renal failure are at increased risk.

只是当你要吃生蚝的时候，可要小心。一种叫创伤弧菌的传染病跟生吃牡蛎有关。另外有肝病，酗酒，或者慢性疾病（如糖尿病，风湿性关节炎，慢性肾衰竭）的人具有更高的风险。

You can also get your daily recommended dose of 11 milligrams a day by eating other shellfish, lean beef, lean pork, or legumes.

你也可以通过食用其它贝类，瘦牛肉，瘦猪肉或者豆类，来达到每日推荐的计量：11毫克。

China's young students lack imagination, creativity ---- 中国孩子缺乏想象力，创造力

2010-11-30T07:50:00.001-08:00

China's young students lack imagination, creativity ---- 中国孩子缺乏想象力，创造力

In a survey of 21 countries, the counting ability of Chinese children ranked No.1, while imagination ranked at the bottom and creative ability ranked fifth from the bottom.
经过对21个国家的调查，中国儿童计算能力排名第一，而想象力排在最后，创造力排名倒数第五。

Hu Jiankang, an official of Chongqing's municipal People's Congress Standing Committee, said his statistics came from a survey issued in 2009 by the International Educational Progress Evaluation Organization. Among children from 21 counties, China's primary and middle school students' imagination and creative ability were quite poor.

胡健康，一位来自重庆市人民政府常设委员会的官员说，他的统计数据是从国际教育进展评估机构在2009年对21个国家的调查中得来的。中国小学和初中生的想象力和创造力很可怜。

Nearly 5 percent of Chinese students believed they had curiosity and imagination, and about 15 percent wished to raise the two abilities. Hu also said among the top 20 inventions that have had a great effect on humanity selected by several American professional academies, not one was invented by a Chinese person.

近5%的中国学生满意自己的好奇心和想象力，约15%的则希望提高两个能力。胡还表示，在由美国几所顶级学院选出的对人类产生了巨大影响的20个发明中，没有一个是由华人发明的人。

2,000 Chinese students finish their doctorates in the United States every year, which is more than any other group of foreign students, their imagination is quite poor, American experts say. Regarding this, Hu suggests strengthening "imagination-oriented education" for China's primary and middle school students through legislation.
尽管每年有2000名中国留学生在美国获得他们的博士学位，数量居各国留学生之首，但是他们的想象力少得可怜，美国专家说。对此，胡建议通过立法加强中国中小学生的"想象力教育"。

Liu Daoyu, a famous educator and ex-headmaster of Wuhan University, has said that the lack of imagination among Chinese children is a matter of concern for the scientific world. The examination system in China has severely restricted students' imagination and creativity, and the reform of China's education system should start with the liberation of children's curiosity.

著名教育家，前武汉大学校长刘道玉曾表示，儿童缺乏想象力是一个关乎中国科学界命运的问题。中国的考试制度，严重制约了学生的想象力和创造力，中国的教育体制的改革应该从解放儿童的好奇心开始。

When comparing Israel and China, two countries that pay great attention to education, Liu found Israeli parents always adopt the parenting style of lions, which leave their cubs alone and force them to learn how to live by themselves. However, Chinese parents always fall on the extreme ends of the parenting spectrum and either coddle or punish their children severely. As a result, nearly 10 Israelis have won the Nobel Prize, but zero in China.

以色列与中国相比，都高度重视教育，刘发现以色列父母总是采取强迫孩子独立，强迫孩子学会养活自己的狮子式教子方法。然而，中国的父母总是走极端，要么溺爱，要么极端严厉地惩罚子女。因此，近10名以色列人赢得了诺贝尔奖，但是，中国却一个也没有。

Decades Later, Chinese Consumers' Tastes Change

几十年后，中国消费者的品味将会改变。

Chinese consumers are spending. Karl Gerth, a professor at Oxford University, tells Steve Inskeep that Chinese consumerism already is changing the world. He writes about it in a new book called As China Goes, So Goes the World: How Chinese Consumers are Transforming Everything.

中国消费者在烧钱。牛津大学教授Karl Gerth告诉Steve Inskeep，中国的消费观念在改变整个世界。他在他的的新书《As China Goes, So Goes the World:How Chinese Consumers are Transforming Everything》（世界跟着中国走：中国消费者是怎样改变一切的）中提到了这些。

In China, the economic problem is of a different type. This week China's central bank asked local financial institutions to stop lending in an effort to slow China's surging growth. And China's consumers are already spending enough to change the world. That's according to Karl Gerth, a professor at Oxford University. He writes about it in a new book called "As China Goes, So Goes the World: How Chinese Consumers are Transforming Everything." Steve Inskeep reached him in Oxford, England and he started the conversation by asking Gerth what Chinese people want.

在中国，经济问题是另外一种形式。在本周，中国中央银行要求当地财政机关停止贷款，以减缓中国泡沫式的增长。他在他的的新书《As China Goes, So Goes the World:How Chinese Consumers are Transforming Everything》（世界跟着中国走：中国消费者是怎样改变一切的）中提到了这些。Steve Inskeep在英国牛津拜访了他，Steve Inskeep用"中国人民想要什么"的问题开始了此次谈话。

Professor KARL GERTH (Oxford University): Back during the Maoist era in the 1970s, people just wanted four functional status symbols - bicycles, watches, sewing machines, radios. I think these were called the four things that go 'round.

格斯教授（牛津大学）：回到1970年的毛主席时代，人们只要四个实用的可象征地位的东西—自行车，手表，缝纫机，收音机。我认为这就是"四大件"。

STEVE INSKEEP, host: Well, what kinds of products are hot now, if you compared them with those four items from a few decades ago?

主持人：那么，如果和几十年前的四大件比较，您认为现在那类物品比较抢手呢？

Prof. GERTH: So rather than just buying things like a house, a car - those are probably the two biggest things that people are after now. They're also after experiences like studying and higher ed, especially overseas, perhaps in America or the U.K. They're interested in leisure travel. So we're just beginning, I think, to see a huge number of Chinese tourists travelling all over the world, as well as cultural events such as the Beijing Olympics.

格斯教授：就像买房买车，这些可能是人们现在追求的两件最重要的东西。他们也追求想学习或者高学历的经历，特别是海外，或许是美国或英国。他们对休闲旅行感兴趣。然而我们才刚开始，我认为，看到大批中国游客在世界各地旅行，就好像看到像北京奥运会一样的国家盛事。

INSKEEP: You know, we brought along a commercial for KFC that is playing on Chinese television. I'd like to play a little bit of that. Let's listen to just a bit of this commercial.

主持人：你知道，我们在中国的电视台推出了肯德基的商业广告。我想播放一小段。下面我们来看一下.

INSKEEP: You have this dramatic kind of feel-good corporate music and a woman is on the screen and she's saying - I'm translating very roughly here - that she didn't realize it when she first ate some KFC chicken, that it was going to change her life. And she goes on to say that she got a job at KFC and now she's got a better life and now she can help other people.I love seeing this ad because it reminds me of corporate ads in the United States, where they don't just say we're selling you a product; they say we're making the world a better place.

主持人：你看到了这种有戏剧效果感觉超好的公司音乐，屏幕上一位女士在讲话-我在这里翻译的非常晦涩-"当她第一次吃肯德基炸鸡是没有发现肯德基将要改变她的生活"。然后她接着说，她在肯德基得到了一份工作，现在她有一个很好的生活，还可以帮助其他人。我很喜欢看到这个广告因为它让我想到了美国其他公司的广告，他们不仅是在向你推销产品，他们会说"我们在将世界变得更美好"。

Prof. GERTH: Now, imagine if you were a teenager living in an impoverished village in China somewhere and you see that advertisement a hundred times; actually, you don't have to imagine it. I was travelling in rural China and decided I would ask whether this innkeeper, not far from the Tibetan border, had ever heard of (foreign language spoken) Kentucky Fried Chicken (foreign language spoken) McDonald's, that sort of thing. He pointed to his television - he said, of course. He said, not only have I, do I know of all these brands, but I successfully convinced my daughter to leave home and move a six-hour bus ride away just by promising her she'd finally get to go to a (foreign language spoken) Kentucky Fried Chicken.

格斯教授：现在，假设你是一个中国某个贫穷山村的少年，这个广告你看了不计其数次，当然，你不必这么假设。我曾经在中国的农村旅行，我决定去问一下离边境和西藏不远的一个旅店老板，有没有听说过肯德基或者麦当劳之类的东西。他指着电视机说，当然了。他说，我不仅听说过，我还知道所有的这些品牌，但是我成功的说服了我的女儿让她坐六个小时的公车离开家，仅仅是答应她以后会带她去肯德基。

Prof. GERTH: If that isn't the power of brands in our consciousness, I don't know what is.

格斯教授：如果这不是我们意识里的品牌力量，我不知道还会是什么。

INSKEEP: Are there American brands that Chinese consumers will pay a premium for right now?

主持人:现在中国人会高价购买美国的那些品牌吗？

Prof. GERTH: I read an article recently about Kohler, the Wisconsin-based toilet manufacturer, and the sort of a status that a Kohler has there commands a premium.

格斯教授：我最近读了一篇关于威斯康星州本地的洁具制造商kohler的文章，像kohler拥有的这种地位需要一笔很大的开销。

INSKEEP: You know, fine toilets, don't get me wrong. But why would Kohler toilets be the thing that would really excite people?

主持人：你知道，好的洁具，不会让我烦心。但是为什么kohler洁具会让人激动不已？

Prof. GERTH: If you build up a brand properly and that brand is associated with luxury, then you can command a premium for those brands. And Kohler also managed to cover its posterior by setting up its own chain of installation people so that they wouldn't have a very expensive toilet installed and then not work properly, which would damage the value of the brand.

格斯教授：如果你建立了一个很好的品牌，并且是很奢华的，那么你就可以要求一个很高的价格。kohler还想通过建立他自己的设备安装连锁店来发张壮大，这样人们就不会因为购买了一套非常昂贵的洁具但是不正常工作而对他的品牌价值有损失。

INSKEEP: Oh, so each Kohler toilet becomes an advertisement for more Kohler toilets?

主持人:哦，所以每一个科勒洁具都变成了一个要求更多产品的广告？

Prof. GERTH: That's correct. Consumerism begets more consumerism, right? The more fancy things you have, the more fancy things you want. I have a friend, a Chinese friend, who says that when her friend buys two LV handbags, Louis Vuitton handbags, she says she needs three bigger, better Louis Vuitton handbags.

格斯教授：是的。消费刺激更多的消费，对吧？你拥有的奢侈品越多，你想要的就越多，我有一个中国朋友，她说，当她的朋友买了两个LV的包，她就想要买三个，更高档次的LV。

INSKEEP: You mean to compete?

主持人：你的意思是攀比？

Prof. GERTH: To compete. That after all is the heart of the consumer-driven economy in society, right? You need people to buy more and more stuff. So on the one hand, that's a wonderful thing, that they have more money. It could drive global economic growth, especially since the U.S. and Western Europe have less money these days to spend on these sorts of things.

格斯教授：是啊，这就是社会中消费驱动经济的本质，对吧？你需要人们买更多的东西。另一方面，买的对是一件好事。它可以促进全球经济增长，特别是自从美国和东欧国家没有足够钱花费在那些东西上的时候。

INSKEEP: Another question, I suppose, that occurs to Americans is how large the opportunity is here, because as you know very well, Americans are buying hundreds of billions of dollars in goods from China, and you wonder if American exports, which are so much lower to China, can increase a little bit, which won't really make that big a difference, or if they really could increase a lot over time.

主持人：另外一个问题，我想，摆在美国面前的是这个机会有多大，因为你很了解的，美国从中国购进上千亿的货物，然后你会想比中国低很多的美国出口，会不会增加一点？即使不会有什么大的改观或者一段时间后会增加很多。

Prof. GERTH: I think they could increase a lot, but by the same token, they're going to face quite a bit of competition, not only from the companies of other countries but within China itself. China doesn't want to remain at the bottom end of the value-added chain. They don't just want to do all the hard work, right? They want to create internationally competitive brands of their own and they're going to do that both through traditional capitalist means, but also with the help of their state.

格斯教授：我认为会有很大的增长，但是同时，他们将要面对许多的竞争对手，不仅是来自别的国家的公司甚至有中国自己的。中国不想被剩在增值链的底端，他们不想只做辛苦的工作，对吧？他们想创造自己的具有国际竞争力的品牌，并且他们想即通过传统资本方式又想依靠国家的扶持。

INSKEEP: I would have trouble naming a lot of Chinese brands, even though I'm sure I've bought a lot of Chinese products, as almost every American must as they go through the day. Are there Chinese brands we're going to hear about in the coming years?

主持人：我在叫出中国的品牌的时候有些麻烦，尽管我确信我买了许多中国的产品，就像几乎每个过日子的美国人一样。在未来的几年里有没有我们会听说的中国品牌？

Prof. GERTH: How about Volvo? Have you heard of them?

格斯教授：沃尔沃怎么样？听说过吗？

(笑声)

Prof. GERTH: Or MG Rover. In other words, if they don't successfully create brands from the ground up, they could easily buy brands and then you'd be effectively buying Chinese brands then.

格斯教授：或者名爵罗孚。换句话说，如果他们没能自主创建品牌，他们会轻松的收购一些品牌，然后你就能更好的买到中国货了。

INSKEEP: Karl Gerth is the author of "As China Goes, So Goes the World," a book about Chinese consumers. Thanks very much.

主持人：卡尔格斯是《世界跟随中国》的作者，一本关于中国消费者的书。非常感谢！

Prof. GERTH: Thank you very much for having me on.

格斯教授：非常感谢来访！

31 Simple Ways to Prevent Cancer: Reduce Your Risk---- 31个预防癌症的简单生活习惯

2010-11-29T09:15:00.000-08:00

31 Simple Ways to Prevent Cancer: Reduce Your Risk---- 31个预防癌症的简单生活习惯

Reduce Your Risk

减少你的风险

Most cancers don't develop overnight or out of nowhere. Cancer is largely predictable, the end result of a decades-long process, but just a few simple changes in your daily life can significantly reduce your risk. Here are 31 great tips.

大部分癌组织并不是一夕之间无缘无故长出来的。癌症的形成在很高程度上是可预计的，是几十年的健康恶化过程的最终结果，但是，只要在你的日常生活中引入一些简单的小变化，就能惊人程度地减少你罹患癌症的风险。以下是31个很棒的建议。3

1. Serve sauerkraut at your next picnic. A Finnish study found that the fermentation process involved in making sauerkraut produces several other cancer-fighting compounds, including ITCs, indoles, and sulforaphane. To reduce the sodium content, rinse canned or jarred sauerkraut before eating.

1. 吃一点泡菜。

一项芬兰的研究表明，在腌制泡菜过程中经历的发酵过程会产生好几种抗癌的成分，包括ITC（异硫氰酸酯），吲哚以及莱菔硫烷。但在吃泡菜前，别忘了好好冲洗它们，以减少摄入硫酸钠等成分。1

2. Eat your fill of broccoli, but steam it rather than microwaving it. Broccoli is a cancer-preventing superfood, one you should eat frequently. But take note: A Spanish study found that microwaving broccoli destroys 97 percent of the vegetable's cancer-protective flavonoids. So steam it, eat it raw as a snack, or add it to soups and salads.

2. 如你所知的，多吃花菜（有的地方叫菜花）和西兰花，但是不要微波它们。2

花菜是超强抗癌的食物，你应该经常吃它们。但要注意：一项西班牙的研究表明花菜经过微波会损失97%的抗癌成分。所以，你可以蒸花菜，生吃花菜，或者用来做汤做色拉，但千万别微波。2

3. Toast some Brazil nuts and sprinkle over your salad. They're a rich form of selenium, a trace mineral that convinces cancer cells to commit suicide and helps cells repair their DNA. A Harvard study of more than 1,000 men with prostate cancer found those with the highest blood levels of selenium were 48 percent less likely to develop advanced disease over 13 years than men with the lowest levels. And a dramatic five-year study conducted at Cornell University and the University of Arizona showed that 200 micrograms of selenium daily -- the amount in two unshelled Brazil nuts -- resulted in 63 percent fewer prostate tumors, 58 percent fewer colorectal cancers, 46 percent fewer lung malignancies, and a 39 percent overall decrease in cancer deaths.

3. 多吃烤过的巴西果。3

它们能提供丰富的硒，一种能让已形成的癌细胞灭亡并帮助细胞修复它们的DNA的微量元素。一项哈佛大学对1000多名前列腺癌症患者的研究发现，血液中硒的含量最高的那些人比那些硒含量低的人在未来13年中发展到晚期癌症的可能性要减少48%。康奈尔大学和亚利桑那大学的一项为时5年的研究表明，每天摄入200毫克的硒——等同于两个剥壳的巴西果所含分量——就能使得患前列腺癌的几率下降63%，直肠癌的几率下降58%，恶性肺肿瘤的几率下降46%，所有的致命癌症的几率下降39%。

4. Pop a calcium supplement with vitamin D. A study out of Dartmouth Medical School suggests that the supplements reduce colon polyps (a risk factor for colon cancer) in people susceptible to the growths.

4. 同时服用钙补充剂和维生素D。

达特茅斯医学院的一项研究认为，这样的补充剂减少结肠息肉（可能导致结肠癌的隐患）增大的可能性。

5. Add garlic to everything you eat. Garlic contains sulfur compounds that may stimulate the immune system's natural defenses against cancer, and may have the potential to reduce tumor growth. Studies suggest that garlic can reduce the incidence of stomach cancer by as much as a factor of 12!

5. 无论吃什么都放上点大蒜。

大蒜含有硫的成分，它们能促进身体免疫系统的天然抗癌能力，而且有降低肿瘤生长速度的能力。研究表明大蒜能使得患上胃癌的风险降低12倍！

6. Sauté two cloves of crushed garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then mix in a can of low-sodium, diced tomatoes. Stir gently until heated and serve over whole wheat pasta. We already mentioned the benefits of garlic. The lycopene in the tomatoes protects against colon, prostate, and bladder cancers; the olive oil helps your body absorb the lycopene; and the fiber-filled pasta reduces your risk of colon cancer. As for the benefits of all of these ingredients together: They taste great!

6. 一个健康食谱：在两茶勺的橄榄油中爆炒两瓣蒜的蒜末，然后倒入一个切碎的番茄。烹调好后作为调味汁浇在全麦意大利面上。

我们已经提到了大蒜的好处。西红柿里的番茄红素能帮助预防结肠癌，前列腺癌以及膀胱癌，橄榄油能帮助你的身体吸收番茄红素，而富含纤维的意大利面减少你的结肠癌风险。而且这份食谱吃起来也很美味！

7. Every week, buy a cantaloupe at the grocery store and cut it up after you put away your groceries. Store it in a container and eat several pieces every morning. Cantaloupe is a great source of carotenoids, plant chemicals shown to significantly reduce the risk of lung cancer.

7. 每周都买个哈密瓜，切好放在冰箱里，每天吃几片。

哈密瓜富含胡萝卜素，这种物质能大幅度减少肺癌的风险。

The Power of Antioxidants

抗氧化物的能量

8. Mix half a cup of blueberries into your morning cereal. Blueberries rank number one in terms of their antioxidant power. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which are unstable compounds that can damage cells and lead to diseases including cancer.

8. 在你的早餐麦片中，加入半杯蓝莓。

蓝莓是抗氧化能力最强的食物。抗氧化物能清除体内那些损坏细胞并导致包括癌症在内的一系列疾病的不稳定自由基。

9. Learn to eat artichokes tonight. Artichokes are a great source of silymarin, an antioxidant that may help prevent skin cancer.

9. 开始在食谱里增加百合。

百合富含水飞蓟素，这是一种可帮助防止皮肤癌的抗氧化物。

10. Coat barbecue food with a thick sauce. Grilling meat can create a variety of cancer-causing chemicals. But researchers from the American Institute for Cancer Research found that coating the meat with a thick marinade and thereby preventing direct contact with the charring flames reduced the amount of such chemicals created. Another tip: Precook your meat in the oven and then throw it on the grill to finish.

10. 烤肉的时候刷上厚厚的酱汁。

烤肉会产生很多种致癌的化学物质，但美国癌症研究学会的学者们发现如果烤肉的时候刷上厚厚的腌制酱汁，以使得肉和火焰不直接接触，能减少产生的致癌物质。另一个办法是，先在烤箱里预烤你的肉，然后再转移到烤肉架上去。

11. Every time you go to the bathroom, stop by the kitchen or water cooler for a glass of water. A major study published in The New England Journal of Medicine in 1996 found that men who drank six 8-ounce glasses of water every day slashed their risk of bladder cancer in half. Another study linked the amount of water women drank to their risk of colon cancer, with heavy water drinkers reducing their risk up to 45 percent.

11. 每次你去厕所回来时，别忘了喝杯水。

一项发表在1996年的新英格兰医学期刊上的重要研究结果表明，每天喝6杯240毫升的水的人，将膀胱癌的风险降低了一半。另一个研究发现了妇女们来说，喝大量的水能减少了45%的患癌风险。

12. Take up a tea habit. The healing powers of green tea have been valued in Asia for thousands of years. In the West, new research reveals that it protects against a variety of cancers as well as heart disease. Some scientists believe that a chemical in green tea called EGCG could be one of the most powerful anticancer compounds ever discovered.

12. 养成喝茶的习惯。

在亚洲，绿茶的治疗作用已经被几千年的历史证明了，在西方，新的研究表明茶能抗击多种癌症和心脏疾病。有些科学家相信，绿茶中的一种叫做EGCG的成分可能是目前世界上发现得抗癌能力最强的成分。

13. Have a beer tonight. Beer protects against the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, known to cause ulcers and possibly linked to stomach cancer. But don't overdo it. Drinking more than one or two alcoholic drinks a day may increase your risk of mouth, throat, esophageal, liver, and breast cancer.

13. 喝杯啤酒。

啤酒能抵抗幽门螺旋杆菌，它导致胃溃疡并很有可能与胃癌也有关系。但别过头了。如果一天喝超过一两杯的酒，可能会增加你的口腔癌，喉癌，食道癌，肝癌和乳癌的风险。

14. Throw some salmon on the grill tonight. Australian researchers found those who ate four or more servings of fish per week were nearly one-third less likely to develop the blood cancers. Other studies show a link between eating fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, halibut, sardines, and tuna, as well as shrimp and scallops) with a reduced risk of endometrial cancer in women. Ah, those amazing omega-3s at it again!

14. 吃点三文鱼。

澳大利亚的学者们研究发现每周吃4次或更多的鱼的人患血液癌症的可能性下降了1/3。其他研究发现吃富含脂肪的鱼（三文鱼，鲭鱼，金枪鱼，比目鱼，沙丁鱼以及大虾和扇贝）能让妇女减少患子宫内膜癌的几率。啊，那些神奇的omega-3（鱼油有效成分）啊！

15. Take a multivitamin every morning. Many studies suggest getting the ideal levels of vitamins and minerals can improve your immune system function and help prevent a variety of cancers.

15. 每天早上服用一粒多种维他命。

许多研究都表明摄入理想水平的维他命和矿物质能提高你的免疫系统功能并防止各种癌症。

16. Get about 15 minutes of sunlight on your skin each day. You've heard of the sunshine vitamin, vitamin D haven't you? Turns out we've been so good at heeding advice to slather on sun lotion and avoid the sun's rays that many of us aren't getting enough of this valuable nutrient. Researchers find that getting too little vitamin D may increase your risk of multiple cancers, including breast, colon, prostate, ovarian, and stomach, as well as osteoporosis, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and high blood pressure.

16. 每天让阳光照射你的皮肤15分钟。

你听说过阳光维他命，维他命D,对吧？事实上，我们由于害怕光照的害处而在皮肤上严格涂抹防晒霜，导致我们中很多人获取这种宝贵的营养不足。研究者发现如果获取维他命D不足，会增加你患多种癌症，包括乳癌，结肠癌，前列腺癌，卵巢癌以及胃癌的风险，还可能增加骨质疏松，糖尿病，多种硬化症和高血压的风险。

The best source? Exposure to UVB rays found in natural and artificial sunlight. About 15 minutes a day ought to do it. Avoid overexposure, of course. That can increase your risk for cancers of the skin. You can also get vitamin D in your calcium supplement if you choose a supplement that contains both.

获取维他命D的最佳来源？来自自然和人造阳光中的UVB射线照射。每天大约15分钟就足够了，当然，要避免过度暴晒，以免罹患皮肤癌。你也可以选择服用一种包含钙和维他命D的双重补充剂。

17. Carry a shot glass in your beach bag. Then fill it with sunscreen and rub it all over your body. A shot glass holds about 1.5 ounces, which is how much sunscreen dermatologists estimate you need to protect yourself from the cancer-causing UV rays of the sun. Repeat every two hours.

17. 当你去海滩的时候，在全身涂上45毫升的防晒霜。

这是皮肤科医生计算出的你全身皮肤面积需要使用的防晒霜用量，这样的用量才能保护你免受导致皮肤癌变的UV射线的侵害。而且还要每两小时重复一次。

18. Cut a kiwifruit in half, then scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Now eat! Kiwi is a little hand grenade of cancer-fighting antioxidants, including vitamin C, vitamin E, lutein, and copper. You can also rub a couple of cut kiwifruit on a low-fat cut of meat as a tenderizer.

18. 把奇异果一切两半，用勺子吃果肉。

奇异果简直是一个你可以扔向癌症病变的小手榴弹，它富含维他命C，维他命E，叶黄素和铜。你也可以将奇异果肉涂到肉类上作为嫩肉剂。

19. Use a condom and stick to one partner. The more sexual partners a woman has, the greater her risk of contracting human papillomavirus, or HPV, which causes cervical cancer. Having an unfaithful husband also increases her risk.

19. 忠于性伴侣，每次性交都使用安全套。

一个女人拥有的性伴侣数量越多，她罹患性接触疾病，HPV的风险越高，也就更容易患上子宫颈癌。当然了，如果她忠贞，但她的老公在外拈花惹草，她的风险也会增大。（译者注：不公平啊。倒霉的妇女！）

20. Cut out high-fat animal protein. A Yale study found that women who ate the most animal protein had a 70 percent higher risk of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, while those who ate diets high in saturated fat increased their risk 90 percent. So switch to low-fat or nonfat dairy, have poultry or fish instead of beef or pork, and use olive oil instead of butter.

20. 停止摄入高脂肪的动物蛋白质。

耶鲁大学的一项调查发现摄入动物脂肪最多的妇女患非何杰金脂肪瘤的风险增加了70%。而那些摄入饱和动物脂肪最多的妇女风险增加了90%。因此，改吃低脂或无脂的乳品，用鸡鸭鱼来代替牛肉或猪肉，并用橄榄油代替黄油。

All Together Now

大家一起来

21. Have your partner feed you grapes. They're great sources of resveratrol, the cancer-protecting compound found in wine, but don't have the alcohol of wine, which can increase the risk of breast cancer in women. Plus, the closeness such an activity engenders (we hope) strengthens your immune system.

21. 让你的另一半喂你吃葡萄吧。

它们富含白藜芦醇，也就是葡萄酒中所含的抗癌物质，但却不含葡萄酒中的酒精成分，酒精会增加妇女患乳癌的风险。此外，这种亲密的两性互动行为还会增强你的免疫系统。

22. Sprinkle scallions over your salad. A diet high in onions may reduce the risk of prostate cancer 50 percent. But the effects are strongest when they're eaten raw or lightly cooked. So try scallions, Vidalia onions, shallots, or chives for a milder taste.

22. 多吃大葱。

富含洋葱类食物的食谱会使得患前列腺癌的风险降低一半。但效果最好的烹饪方法是生吃或稍微烹饪。因此，尝试大葱，甜洋葱，小葱和韭黄，它们味道不那么冲。

23. Make a batch of fresh lemonade or limeade. A daily dose of citrus fruits may cut the risk of mouth, throat, and stomach cancers by half, Australian researchers found.

23. 榨一杯柠檬汁或柳橙汁。

澳大利亚的学者发现每天摄入柑橘类的水果能将患口腔癌，喉癌和胃癌的风险降低一半。

Unecessary Chemicals

有害的化学物质

24. Take a 30-minute walk every evening after dinner. That's all it takes to reduce your breast cancer risk, according to a study from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. Turns out that moderate exercise reduces levels of estrogen, a hormone that contributes to breast cancer. When 170 overweight, couch potato women ages 50-75 did some form of moderate exercise for about three hours a week, levels of circulating estrogen dropped significantly after three months. After a year, those who lost at least 2 percent of their body fat had even greater decreases in estrogen. Another study linked four hours a week of walking or hiking with cutting the risk of pancreatic cancer in half. The benefits are probably related to improved insulin metabolism due to the exercise.

24. 每天晚饭后，遛弯30分钟。

根据一项西雅图的Fred Hutchinson癌症研究中心的研究表明，这就是你为了抵抗乳癌需要做的。适当的运动降低雌激素水平，而雌激素会导致乳癌。170位超重的，50-75岁的"沙发土豆"妇女们在每周运动3小时，坚持3个月后，体内的雌激素水平大幅度下降。一年后，那些减去了至少2%的体重的妇女们的雌激素水平有了更大幅度的下降。另一个研究表明，每周4小时的步行或爬山能将胰腺癌的风险降低一半。这样的益处来源于运动带来的胰岛素新陈代谢改善。

25. Buy organic foods. They're grown without added pesticides or hormones, both of which can cause cellular damage that may eventually lead to cancer.

25. 购买有机食物。

它们是在不添加农药和荷尔蒙的环境下生长的。而这两者都会导致细胞损害，并逐渐导向癌症。

26. Learn to love dandelions. Using commercial pesticides on your lawn may increase your risk of cancer, since most contain pesticides such as 2,4-D (linked to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma) and MCPP (associated with soft-tissue cancers). Plus, pesticides used solely on lawns don't have to go through the same rigorous testing for long-term health effects as those used on food. And, as E/The Environmental Magazine noted in a 2004 article, no federal studies have assessed the safety of lawn-care chemicals in combination, the way most are sold.

26. 种植一些蒲公英。

蒲公英是天然驱虫剂。在你的花园里使用商用农药会增加你患癌症的风险，因为大部分农药都包含2,4-D(导致非何杰金淋巴瘤)以及MCPP(导致软组织癌)。此外，只用在草坪上的农药也不需要和那些用于食品的农药一样经历严格的测试。而且，像《环境》杂志在2004年刊登的一篇文章指出的那样，多种草坪护理农药同时使用的安全性的没有得到任何联邦研究的确认。但它们就是这样被出售的。

27. Buy clothes that don't need to be dry-cleaned. Many dry cleaners still use a chemical called perc (perchloroethylene), found to cause kidney and liver damage and cancer in animals repeatedly exposed through inhalation. Buying clothes that don't require dry cleaning, or hand washing them yourself, can reduce your exposure to this chemical. If you must dry-clean your clothes, take them out of the plastic bag and air them outside or in another room before wearing.

27. 别买那些需要干洗的衣物。

许多干洗店还在使用一种叫做四氯乙烯的化学物质，反复吸入它会导致肾脏和肝脏的损害以及癌变。如果你购买不需要干洗的衣物，或自己手洗它们，就能减少你和这种化学物质接触的机会。如果你必须干洗你的衣服，穿之前请把它们拿出塑料袋并在另一个房间通风。

28. Choose cucumbers over pickles, fresh salmon over lox. Studies find that smoked and pickled foods contain various carcinogens.

28. 吃新鲜的菜蔬鱼肉。

研究表明腌制熏制的食物包含多种潜在致癌物质。

29. Switch from french fries and potato chips to mashed potatoes and pretzels. A potential cancer-causing compound called acrylamide forms as a result of the chemical changes that occur in foods when they're baked, fried, or roasted. Not surprisingly, many foods with the greatest amounts of acrylamide are also some of the worst-for-you foods, such as french fries, potato chips, and baked sweets. Michael Jacobson, Ph.D., executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest, estimates acrylamide causes between 1,000 and 25,000 cancers per year. His agency has petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to set limits on the amount of acrylamide foods can contain. The FDA is studying the issue.

29. 别再吃炸薯条和薯片了。

吃土豆泥和脆饼干吧。当食物被烘烤煎炸时，它们会产生一种叫做丙烯酰胺的致癌化学物质。不难想见，那些含丙烯酰胺最多的食物也就是对你最不好的食物，例如薯条，薯片和烤甜点。公众利益科学中心的执行总监Michael Jacobson博士，估算丙烯酰胺每年导致了1000-25000例癌症。他的机构已经请求食物和药品管理局对食物允许包含的丙烯酰胺含量进行限制。食物药品管理局正在审理这个请求。

30. Go for a spray-on tan. They're available in most tanning salons these days and, unlike tanning beds, there's no evidence that they increase your risk of skin cancer.

30. 比起去海滩晒黑或者紫外线灯美黑，还是去做那种喷雾美黑吧。

（friends里ross做过的那种——译者注）现在几乎大部分沙龙都有这种服务提供，这种不会增加你患皮肤癌的风险。

31. Call up your bowling pal and hit the lanes. A study from the State University of New York at Stony Brook found that men with high levels of stress and those with less satisfying contacts with friends and family members had higher levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in their blood, a marker for the development of prostate cancer.

31. 叫上你的保龄球友去打一场球吧。

纽约州立大学Stony Brook分校的一项研究发现，男人如果压力更大，更缺乏与亲友的满意互动，那么血管中的PSA(前列腺特异抗原)水平就越高，因而也越容易得上前列腺癌。

Living in Fat City----肥胖记

Living in Fat City----肥胖记

If you live in Australia, the US, the UK, Canada or New Zealand, then you live in the same place as me; Fat City. Fat City of course, being more of a collective mindset, and a culture of eating too much and moving too little, than any geographical location, or 'literal' place. And while it's not a literal place, it is very real. If you know what I mean.

如果你是生活在澳大利亚，美国，加拿大或者新西兰，那么你其实就是和我住在同一个地方：肥胖国。肥胖国，顾名思义，人们有着共同的心态，与世界其它地方，无论是地理方位上的，还是相类似的其他"名义国"相比，吃的多，运动的又少。而且它不仅是一个"名义国"，它是真实存在着的。如果你知道我所指的话。

The weight of the average Australian increases by about 0.4kg (1lb) per year, every year, and it's a pretty similar figure in most Western countries. It's predicted that Australia (where I live) will be a totally obese population by 2050. There's a thought. What an achievement. This is the forecast, despite the fact that we are now more educated, more informed and more aware, than we've ever been before. The truth is, in 2008 we are constantly bombarded with more and more information and education about diet, lifestyle, exercise, obesity, general health and all its variables, yet still, we grow.

澳大利亚的人均体重每年，逐年增加0.4千克（也就是1磅），这个数字与西方大部分国家的体重数字极为相近。据预测，澳大利亚（也就是我住的地方）在2050年之前将变成一个彻底的人口肥胖国。现在是一个假设，但是数字多么惊人！这是一个预测，尽管我们现在都比以前更有素质，也更明智。事实上，2008年，我们一直被灌输了各种各样的，越来越多的信息和教育，在饮食方面，生活方式，运动，肥胖方面，还有在我们成长过程中影响我们健康的各个方面。

As an Exercise Scientist, observer of humanity, and ex-fat bloke, there are plenty of things which fascinate me about living in Fat City (the culture, the habits, the behaviors, the thinking, the excuses, the lies, the marketing, the trends, the media), but here's my short list:

作为一名运动学家，人性学者，也是曾经的肥胖者，有很多事情让我对肥胖国里的生活着迷（对它的文化，习惯，行为，思想，借口，谎言，市场，倾向，媒体），以下是我总结的一些简短列表：

1. We've never be more informed, educated, resourced or equipped to combat obesity, yet we've never been fatter. We live in the information age, yet we do nothing with it. I'm amused by those who suggest that obesity is primarily an education problem, when in reality, it is (for the majority) a self-control problem. Self control: yes, that crazy, outdated notion I've spoken of many times before. We are inundated with education but we choose not to learn. Real 'learning' would have resulted in a large-scale positive change in behavior, and of course, decline in obesity levels. It hasn't. In fact, if there was a positive correlation between the increase in education and the decline of global obesity, then we would see virtually no obesity at all. But… if we wanted to be cheeky and use 'selective science' (as many 'experts' do), we could actually conclude that the increase in education may have resulted in the increase in obesity. After all, there is a direct relationship: more education, more obesity. Yes I'm being sarcastic, but you understand my point. When it comes to diet and exercise, we know what to do, but we don't do what we know.

1．面对肥胖之战，我们从来没有像现在这样更有素养，更富有，装备更精良，因为我们也从来没像现在这样肥胖过。我们生活在一个信息化时代，但是目前我们却没利用它做任何事情。听到某些人认为肥胖主要还是一个教育问题的时候，我就乐了，事实上，这对大多数人而言是一个自制力的问题。自制力：其实就是我曾经提及多次的那古怪的，过时的观念。我们接受的教育很多，应接不暇，可是我们选择不学。真正的"学习"将会导致行为上大幅度的积极改变，当然也会降低肥胖程度，虽然目前还没有任何作用。事实上，如果教育程度的增加与全球肥胖度的降低有正相关的话，我们就不会看到任何肥胖现象了。然而….如果我们真要恬不知耻，而且利用'选择科学'（正如很多'科学家'做的那样）理论的话，我们就可以得出以下结论：教育程度的增加或许就是导致肥胖增加的原因。毕竟，这有一个直接的关系：接受的教育越多，肥胖度越高。是的，我的话语是有点尖酸刻薄，但是你明白我的意思。当提到饮食和运动的时候，我们都知道怎么去做，但是我们不会按照我们知道的去做。

2. I am constantly amazed at our ability (as a society) to complicate the simple. How many more books, programs and breakthrough weight-loss discoveries do we need? Really? Here's a wacky concept, increase energy expenditure (exercise, general activity) and decrease energy intake (stop eating so much crap). A little scientific I know, but hey, it just might work. Of course it's simple, but it requires genuine and consistent effort. Simple, of course, not to be confused with 'easy'. And therein lies the problem. Which leads me to point three.

2．对于我们自己让简单的问题复杂化的能力，我一直都十分惊讶。减肥，我们还需要有多少书本，多少项目，多少突破呢？真的？这有一个观点，增加能量消耗（运动，一般活动）并减少能量摄入（停止使用垃圾食品）。我知道，它有一定的科学性，或许会起一些作用。当然这很简单，但是要求坚持不懈的努力。简单，不可混同与"容易"，这就存在一个问题，它也引导我提出下面的第三条。

3. Our obsession with the quick fix. We don't wanna work for those results. We want someone or something to do it for us. We are precious and lazy. We are addicted to the shortcut. Give me the pill, powder, potion, product or surgeon that will make me beautiful. I am allergic to sweat and hard work it's so '1985′. We are a culture obsessed with 'easy' and sometimes creating amazing requires a little effort. Or a lot. And we hate that. Sorry about that. I'll try and change it.

3．减肥的权宜之计。我们可不想为获得这些结果而身体力行。我们想让其他人或其他东西来帮助我们达到这一目的。我们是金贵的，也是慵懒的。我们热衷于走捷径。给我药片，药粉，药剂，产品或者手术，让我变得漂亮。我讨厌流汗，讨厌辛苦工作，还是和1985年一样。我们一直沉溺在"简单"的文化氛围里，我们期待着有时只需一点努力就会获得令人惊讶的效果，或者得需要很多努力。我们讨厌那样。不好意思，说了这些。现在，我要努力改变它。

4. We love playing the 'blame game'. We would rather justify, rationalize, explain and blame someone or something for our obesity, than take complete responsibility for our fat selves. Of course it's not our fault. We are poor victims of situations, circumstances and genetics. So not fair. If what we do to our body (lifestyle, food, exercise) is the biggest influence on our level of fitness and fatness (which it is), then obesity is typically the result of poor decision making, rather than poor genetics. Even people with poor genetics can get in great shape, if they work with their genetics and manipulate the variables the right way.

4．我们喜欢把责任推卸给他人。为了我们的肥胖，我们可以为某个人或某些事情辩解，让他们合理化，或者转而去责怪他们，而不是为我们的肥胖完全付起责任。当然这不是我们的错。我们是可怜的环境和基因的牺牲者。所以这是不公平的。如果我们对自己的身体（生活方式，食物，运动）所做的就是对我们的健康程度，肥胖度影响最大的，那么肥胖就是劣质决策的典型结果，而非劣质基因的典型结果。劣等基因的人如果可以和他们的基因合作而且合适的操纵变量，他们照样可以拥有很棒的身体素质。

5. I laugh when people get grumpy at me for telling the truth; what they don't want to hear."Okay John, it will only take two weeks to lose that hundred pounds and that huge gut you built over the last thirty years, and yes, it will be easy, fun and painless. You will definitely look incredible by next Tuesday. Wednesday, tops. In fact, just leave your body here; I'll do it for you."

5. 我很嘲笑那些不高兴我讲出真相的人，他们不愿意听到这些"好吧约翰，这将会花费你两周的时间来减掉你在过去三十年内长的300磅的赘肉，而且，这会很容易，其中会很有乐趣，而且不会有任何疼痛。下周二，最多下周四你就会看起来完全不一样啦。把你的身体留在这，让我们来替你完成这些吧！"

6. I marvel that people pay thousands of dollars per year to walk/run on a treadmill with a built in TV, radio and fan, when they could get the same physiological benefit (or better) heading out their front door and returning thirty minutes later. No driving to the gym, no petrol costs, no waiting for machines, no travel time.

6. 我很奇怪的是，人们每年会花费上千元在一个跑步机上走路或者跑步，室内还装有电视机，收音机，风扇，其实他们走到户外，30分钟之后再回来照样可以使他们获得相同的效果或者可能更好。不用开车去健身房，不用花汽油钱，不用等机器，也不用花时间旅游。

7. Our inability to finish things. We start jogging. We stop. We go on a diet. We go off it. We join a gym. We go five times. We make resolutions. We don't follow through. We lose fat. We regain it. We start. We stop. We get fit. We get unfit. We operate on emotion. We always find a 'reason' to give up. We experience momentary motivation, but we never truly commit. Real commitment ("I will do this no matter what") creates life-long change, not temporary weight loss or occasional fitness. We're great at starting, crap at finishing.

7．我们没有能力去完成整个事情。我们开始短跑。停下来。节食。动身。参加健身房。我们去5次。制定出好的计划。但是我们不坚持。我们减下了体重，接着又恢复到了正常体重。我们开始，停下来。我们健身，然后又松懈下来。我们在动机上下功夫。我们一直都能找到好的理由放弃。我们经常是一股子减肥热乎劲，但是从来没有真正坚持下去。真正的坚持（不管怎样，我都会坚持）会让人更长寿，而不仅仅是会暂时的体重下降或者短暂的健康。我们往往都是虎头蛇尾。

8. The Victim. "But you don't understand my life, body, time restraints, problems, situation, history, challenges, injuries, medical conditions." Your problem isn't your body; it's your thinking. Get your mind in shape and your body will follow.

8．牺牲者会说，"但是你不理解我的生活，身体，时间限制，问题，解决办法，历史，挑战，伤害以及药物情况。"你的问题不在于你的身体；而是你的想法。将你的思想提高到最佳状态，然后你的身体会紧随其而行！

Anticrepuscular Rays Over Colorado ----科罗拉多州上空的反曙暮辉

2010-11-28T03:45:00.001-08:00

Explanation:What's happening over the horizon? Although the scene may appear somehow supernatural, nothing more unusual is occurring than a setting Sun and some well placed clouds. Pictured above are anticrepuscular rays.

解释：上空正在发生什么？虽然这种景象可能显得有点超自然，其实除了落日和几朵排列很好的云彩，并无更多特别的。上面的图片叫反曙暮辉。

To understand them, start by picturing common crepuscular rays that are seen any time that sunlight pours though scattered clouds.

为了弄清原委，首先要拍摄普通的曙暮辉光—阳光穿透稀疏云朵时会看到。

Now although sunlight indeed travels along straight lines, the projections of these lines onto the spherical sky are great circles.

虽然阳光呈直线照射，但光线在球型天空的投影却是巨大的圆形。

Therefore, the crepuscular rays from a setting (or rising) sun will appear to re-converge on the other side of the sky.

所以，落日（或者旭日）形成的曙暮辉光好象在天空另一端聚拢。

At the antisolar point 180 degrees around from the Sun, they are referred to as anticrepuscular rays.

在环绕太阳对日点180度，就被称为反曙暮辉。

Pictured above is a particular set of striking anticrepuscular rays photographed in 2001 from a moving car just outside of Boulder, Colorado, USA.

上面的图片是特别惊人的反曙暮辉，2001年在开动的汽车里拍摄的，地点是在美国科罗拉多州的博尔登以外地区。

Shanghai fair morethan just a memory---上海盛会，留下不仅是回忆

Shanghai fair morethan just a memory----

上海盛会，留下不仅是回忆

David Hendricks - David Hendricks

Web Posted: 11/26/2010 1:59 PM CST

It's nearly all being torn down now. 它现在几乎拆除殆尽。
The six-month 2010 Shanghai Expo world's fair that ended Oct. 31 smashed the record for the most attendance for an event in human history with 74 million.
为期6个月的2010年上海世博会于10月31日闭幕，7400万的参观人数为史上历届盛会之最。
But only the magnificent China Pavilion, a performing arts center and some conference buildings will remain.
但只有宏伟的中国馆、一个演艺中心、和几个会议大楼将被保留。
Among the buildings being demolished is the U.S. Pavilion, the steel-gray building shaped like an eagle. The waterfall, the large video theaters, the exhibit areas, the upstairs VIP lounge and dining hall and the gift shop all are being taken apart, along with nearly every other of the 200 country, city and industry pavilions.
正在被拆除的美国馆是一幢青灰色的鹰形建筑。瀑布、大屏幕剧院、展区、楼上的贵宾休息室、餐厅和礼品店都被拆开。同时，近200个国家、城市和工业馆与之命运相同。
Shanghai, a city of about 22 million people, needs the valuable land for commercial and residential development.
上海，一个2200万人口的城市，需要这些为商业和住宅发展的宝贵土地。
San Antonio companies helped pay for the U.S. Pavilion, donating a total of more than $500,000 toward the nearly $70 million that was raised by the private sector nationwide. A San Antonian headed the pavilion. José Villarreal was U.S. ambassador commissioner general during the fair, making him a popular figure throughout China.
圣安东尼奥公司捐助建造美国馆超过50万美元--而建造美国馆其在全美分部募集了近7000万美元。一个圣安东尼奥树立在馆内。美国大使总领事何塞维拉利亚在世博期间，使自己成为中国最受欢迎的人物。
Villarreal believes the money and effort was worth it. The U.S. Pavilion was visited by 7.5 million people, nearly all of them Chinese. That's more than 40,000 people a day.
维拉利亚认为金钱和精力都是物有所值。美国馆的访问量是750万人，几乎都是中国人，平均超过4万人一天。
Because of its contribution, San Antonio was highlighted for two weeks in May on the video boards and during three San Antonio Days the week Mayor Julián Castro led a city delegation on a trade-and-investment mission.
由于贡献卓著，5月圣安东尼奥连续2周高调出镜频频亮相，在三天的圣安东尼奥日，市长胡利安卡斯特罗率领市代表团开始贸易投资之旅。
“San Antonio made important contacts,” Villarreal said of the May trip, “including government leaders. We put San Antonio on the map in China, and China is appreciative of all the sponsors for the U.S. Pavilion. What happens from here depends on San Antonio's follow-through with the relationships that were established.”
说起5月之行，维拉利亚表示“圣安东尼奥已经签订了几个重要合同，其中包括与政府领导。我们能把圣安东尼奥打入中国因为中国对所有美国馆的赞助商都表示感谢。关系已经建立，后续如何取决于圣安东尼奥的跟进。”
The follow-through will materialize next year in the form of a new China plan for San Antonio. City Council member Elisa Chan, a native of Taiwan who helped lead the city group to the Shanghai Expo in May, has organized an ad hoc committee of a dozen people who were among the 70 people in the delegation.
后续将在明年成型，具体是圣安东尼奥制定一个新中国计划。市议员伊莉莎.陈，这位5月曾去上海世博的台湾人，在70人的代表团中组织了十几人建立了特设委员会。
That committee has held one meeting and will have others before producing a long-range plan for seeking trade and investment with Chinese companies, working with the Free Trade Alliance San Antonio, said Beth Costello of the city International and Economic Development Department.
城市国际和经济发展部的贝斯卡斯特罗称该委员会已举行一次会议，并将继续会谈就在圣安东尼奥自由贸易联盟共同合作努力下，制定如何在中方寻求贸易和投资的长期规划。
“Our participation was a first step,” Villarreal said. “It was an opportunity for the city to plant its flag and prove that the city was committed” to trade and commerce.
维拉利亚认为“世博参与是第一步，对一个城市这是一个机会展示自己并在贸易商业上取得认可”。
The Shanghai Expo became a giant in the history of world's fairs. It helped anchor Asia as the future of economic and technological advancement. World fairs still create influence. Other nations are planning fairs, including South Korea in 2012.
上海世博已成为世界世博史的巨人。它帮助掌握亚洲未来的经济和科技进步的方向。世界博览会仍然有影响力。其他国家正在积极规划相关事务，包括在2012年举办世博的韩国。
The year 2020 will have competition for official designation for a world's fair, Villarreal said. At least two U.S. areas will seek the designation from Paris' Bureau of International Exhibitions — California's Silicon Valley and Houston.
2020年开始新一轮的申博活动，维拉利亚称，至少有两个美国地区会赴巴黎世博局参与竞争- 加利福尼亚州的硅谷和休斯顿。
The United States never should have lost interest in world's fairs after the last one in 1984. It's time for a U.S. fair.
美国不应该失去对组织世博会的兴趣。最近一次举办在美国的世博会还是1984年。是时候举办一场美国世博了。
