研究

他们一起笑、一起哭、一起奋斗，甚至可能还出席了他们婚礼的，其余的都不喜欢你。我们有研究为证。[/cn] [en]Published in online journal Public Library of Science , scientists from both Tel Aviv University and MIT have carried out various social experiments and looked into other studies

[en]Men spend more time getting ready than women, research shows.[/en][cn]研究显示，男性在出门前花的打扮准备时间比女性要久！[/cn] [en]On average men spend 81 minutes a day on personal [w]grooming[/w], including cleansing, toning and [w=moisturize]moisturizing[/w], shaving, styling hair and choosing clothes, the study found. [/en][cn]近日有一项研究显示，男性平均每天要花81分钟在个人形象上，包括清洁、爽肤、保湿、修面、发型和挑选衣服。[/cn] [en]Women have their beauty [w]regime[/w] down to a fine art and get hair, clothes and make-up done in just 75 minutes.[/en][cn]而女性的日常美容程序已经成为了一门精妙的艺术：75分钟内搞定头发、衣服和化妆。[/cn] [en]The research, carried out for Travelodge, found that on an average morning men spend 23 minutes in the shower, compared to 22 minutes for women. [/en][cn]英国经济型连锁酒店公司Travelodge进行的这项研究发现，男性平均每天早上花在洗澡淋浴上的时间是23分钟，女性则只要22分钟。[/cn] [en]Men take a minute longer - 10 minutes - on cleansing, toning and moisturising. [/en][cn]清洁、爽肤和保湿方面，男性要多花1分钟，需要10分钟的时间。[/cn] [en]Choosing an [w]outfit[/w] is also a time-consuming operation for men who want to look their best - taking 13 minutes compared to 10 minutes for women. [/en][cn]对于男性来说，挑选衣服也是个费时的过程，因为他们希望自己是最好的状态。男性要花13分钟，女性则只要10分钟。[/cn] [en]The study also found that the average British person does not have a [w]clue[/w] regarding the true value of their [w]toiletry[/w] bag. [/en][cn]研究同时还发现，现在的英国人全然不知化妆包的真正价值。[/cn] [en]When quizzed, the average adult estimated their wash bag with contents to be worth £52.23 when in reality the bag of essentials is worth nearly three times more at £156.69. [/en][cn]当被问到化妆包里的东西大概价值多少钱时，普通成年人的估计是洗漱包加上里面的东西价值52.23英镑，但是实际上，包里的各种用品的价值加起来是估计的三倍，156.69英镑！[/cn] [en]A spokeswoman for Travelodge said they had seen a rise in the number of toiletry bags being left behind in their 487 hotels. [/en][cn]Travelodge的发言人表示，在Travelodge旗下的487所连锁酒店中，被遗忘的化妆包数量在增加。[/cn] [en]In the last 12 months, hotel staff have spent hundreds of hours uniting 10,000 wash bags with their owners. [/en][cn]在过去的一年里，酒店的工作人员花研究费了很多的时间和精力来帮这些化妆包（共计一万个）找回主人。[/cn] [en]In one case a customer paid more than £100 for a [w]courier[/w] to pick up her toiletry bag, which she had left behind in a London hotel - the designer wash bag had nearly £1,000 worth of toiletry items. [/en][cn]有一个这样的故事：一位客人花了100多英镑让导游去帮她拿回化妆包，她把化妆包遗落在伦敦的酒店里。这个名家设计的化妆包里有价值1000英镑的洗漱美容用品。[/cn] 小编有话说：小编觉得这个研究虽然有点不靠谱，但是还是有一定道理的。男生们可以现身说法，说说自己每天出门前要花多长时间？真的比女朋友花的时间还久么？

而使他们的中枢神经系统更活跃。[/cn] [en]They can be [w]startled[/w] by a noise or a criticism aimed in their direction, which leads to stress and other unwanted issues.[/en][cn]朝他们所在的方向传递的噪音或指责会使他们受到惊吓，而且会使他们产生压力并引起其他不必要的问题。[/cn] [en]A minor insult may trigger a low level, chronic stress response which then activates a hyper body response.[/en][cn]一点点的冒犯可能就会触发轻微的慢性应激反应，然后引起过度激动的身体反应。[/cn] [en]When the sympathetic nervous system becomes chronically activated, it finds itself in a continuous fight, flight, or freeze state that triggers a series of immune changes in both the body and the brain-altering behavior, mood, and functioning.[/en][cn]当交感神经系统被长期激活，它就会处于一种持续的战斗、逃跑或冻结的状态，而这会引起身体和改变大脑的行为、情绪以及机研究能上的一系列的免疫变化。[/cn] [en]If you are feeling vulnerable, upset or depressed there is always someone available to talk and help.[/en][cn]如果你觉得感情脆弱、心烦意乱或情绪低落，总是会有人可以跟你聊一聊并帮助你。[/cn] （翻译：Dlacus）

[en]Half of the world’s population may soon be in need of glasses. According to a troubling recent study, scientists are predicting that by 2050, close to five billion people will be nearsighted. The study also predicts an increase in severe [w]myopia[/w], which can lead to blindness. [/en][cn]世界上一半的人在不久的将来需要佩戴眼镜。最近，一个令人不安的研究显示，科学家预计2050年将有接近50亿的人患近视。该研究还预计高度近视人数也会增加，高度近视极易导致失明。[/cn] [en]According to EurekAlert!, a sevenfold increase in nearsightedness is predicted from 2000 to 2050, and up to one in 10 people around the globe may eventually be at risk for blindness. Scientists aren’t sure what is causing such extreme increases in nearsightedness, though they believe environmental factors are likely the culprit.[/en][cn]据EurekAlert网站（美国科学促进会主办的全球互联网新闻服务）报道，从2000年到2050年，患近视人数将增长7倍，世界各地的人中每十个就有一个将最终面临失明的风险。科学家们不确定是什么原因导致近视人数剧增，但他们认为环境因素可能是罪魁祸首。[/cn] [en]Scientists are working on pinpointing the exact causes of, and possible cures for, myopia. So far, they know that light plays an important role in eye development, and that by depriving developing eyes of light, they can induce myopia in animals.[/en][cn]科学家们正致力于找出近视的确切原因以及可能的治疗方法。到目前为止，他们知道光在眼睛发育过程中发挥重要作用，通过阻碍动物眼睛发育过程中摄入的光，可以诱导动物近视。[/cn] [en]Unfortunately, exposure to bright light doesn’t reverse myopia in all cases, and the technique hasn't been tested on human subjects. In general, it’s difficult for scientists to pinpoint the exact causes of human myopia, and therefore its cure, since human testing usually isn’t possible. [/en][cn]不幸的是，并非在所有情况下暴露于明亮的灯光中都能逆转近视，且这项技术还没有在人体上进行试验。一般情况下，科学家们很难找到人类近视的确切原因，因而很难发现治愈方法，而且人体试验通常不太可能实现。[/cn] [en]But studies have found a general link between spending time outdoors as a kid and reduced risk of myopia. Until a cure is found, scientists are recommending more frequent trips to the optometrist for risk assessments. It may also be a good idea to reduce screen time and make enjoying the great outdoors a higher priority. [/en][cn]但研究发现了孩童时期在户外所花费的时间和降低近视风险之间的一般联系。在找到治愈近视的方法之前，科学家建议人们经常去找验光师做视力风险评估。减少对着屏幕的时间，多进行户外活动也是极好的。[/cn] 声明：本双语文章的中文翻译系沪江英语原创内容，转载请注明出处。中文翻译仅代表译者个人观点，仅供参考。如有不妥之处，欢迎指正。

你是和众姐妹一起长大的男孩子吗？虽然可能对约会有些好处，可研究发现，像你这样熟悉了女人生活种种的男生，在其他女生眼里，却是没有男性魅力的。

They also took a test to determine how competent they were at 'mentalising', which is the capacity to understand what another person is thinking, a crucial aspect in how people handle the social world.[/en][cn]研究人员要求志愿者列出最近7天内联系的人员名单。这种联系纯属社会交往，不包括工作层面的交流。 研究人员又测试志愿者的“心智能力”。这是一种理解他人所思所想的能力，在人们社交活动中起着重要作用。[/cn] [en]Dr Joanne Powell, from the University of Liverpool, added: "Perhaps the most important finding of our study is that we have been able to show that the relationship between brain size and social network size is mediated by mentalising skills. What this tells us is that the size of your brain determines your social skills, and it is these that allow you have many friends."[/en][cn]利物浦大学Joanne Powell补充说，“也许研究中最重要的发现就是我们已经能够证明大脑的大小与社会网络规模之间的关系是由心智能力在起作用。这些也告诉我们你大脑的大小决定了你的社会技能，也就是这些决定了你能够有多少个朋友。”[/cn]
