而对冰岛基因库的贡献较小。[/cn] [en]"As a species, we are defined by the power of our brains. Education is the training and refining of our mental capacities," said Kari Stefansson, CEO of Icelandic genetics firm deCODE, which ran the study. "Thus, it is [w]fascinating[/w] to find that genetic factors linked to more time spent in education are becoming rarer in the gene pool."[/en][cn]这项研究的发起人,冰岛遗传学公司deCODE的首席执行官Kari Stefansson说“作为一个物种,我们的力量皆是大脑所赐,而教育则是锻炼重塑我们心智的手段,因此探寻到底是什么原因使得基因库中的在教育上花费更过时间的基因变得稀缺是很有意义的。”[/cn] [en]To be clear, this does not necessarily mean that humans are getting dumber - we’re going to need a whole lot more evidence to get anywhere near a conclusion like that.[/en][cn]并不能因此就说人类就变得越来越愚钝——要证明这一点我们还需要更多的研究。[/cn] [en]There’s also the fact that more people are getting access to education than ever before, so even if less educated people are having more offspring, non-genetic factors like more schools could [w]counteract[/w] and even eclipse the effect.[/en][cn]如今有更多的人能接受到教育,所以即使未受教育的人的后代更多,但更普及的学校教育也可以低效甚至掩盖基因上的不足。[/cn] [en]But if we look at the trend over the course of several centuries into the future - well beyond the proliferation of schools and training access - the researchers say it could have a significant effect on our species in the long run.[/en][cn]但是如果我们设想这样的趋势发展数百年——教育和培训的普及程度已经远不能称为影响因素的时候——研究人员称这种趋势就严重影响到人类这个物种的长久发展。[/cn] [en]"It is remarkable to report changes ... that are measurable across the several decades covered by this study," the study concludes."In evolutionary time, this is a blink of an eye. However, if this trend persists over many centuries, the impact could be profound."[/en][cn]该项研究称:“研究并统计接下来数十年的变化情况是非常重要的,在人类的进化史中,这也许只是一眨眼的功夫,但是如果这种趋势持续了几百年,影响则是十分深远的。”[/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。

囧研究:父母离异对孩子造成最大的伤害是?
[en]Children whose parents are married have significantly higher [w]self-esteem[/w], according to research [w=unveil]unveiled[/w] by the Marriage Foundation yesterday. The Marriage Foundation is a think-tank which aims to reduce divorce rates. Its previous research has linked family breakdown to poor academic performance in children and mental health issues including depression and anxiety.[/en][cn]婚姻基金会昨天公布的研究结果表明,父母已婚的孩子自尊心更强。婚姻基金会是以减少离婚率为目标的一个智囊团。其早先的研究表明,孩子学习成绩不佳以及抑郁症和焦虑等心理健康问题与家庭破裂有关。[/cn] [en]Teenagers of married couples were more confident than those in single-parent families or youngsters whose parents lived together in a stable long-term relationship, it found.[/en][cn]研究发现,已婚夫妇家庭的青少年比单亲家庭或父母未婚而长期同居的青少年更自信。[/cn] [en]Overall, boys with married parents had the highest self-esteem, while girls with co-habiting parents had the lowest.[/en][cn]总的说来,父母已婚的男孩子自尊心最强,而父母未婚同居的女孩子最缺乏自尊心。[/cn] [en]A number of studies have shown that self-esteem is closely related to how secure people feel in their relationships.[/en][cn]大量的研究表明,自尊心与人们对他们所处关系的安全感密切相关。[/cn] [en]It appears that children of married parents are responding to something they see in their parents’ relationships that reflects greater security. Their self-esteem benefits accordingly.[/en][cn]父母已婚的关系会为孩子带来更大的安全感,生活在这样的家庭中的孩子似乎响应了这一点。所以,他们的自尊心也从中受益。[/cn] [en]Former High Court judge Sir Paul Coleridge, said the Government should place more importance on marriage as it sought to tackle ‘a [w]meteoric[/w] rise in family breakdown’. He said: ‘Marriage matters because it is the most important predictor of a child’s future life chances.’[/en][cn]前高级法院法官保罗·柯勒律治先生指出,政府应更加关注婚姻,力求处理“急速增长的家庭破裂”问题。他说:“婚姻很重要,因为它是一个孩子未来生存机会最重要的预测器。”[/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。

囧研究:Lie to Me 从眼神手势识破撒谎者!
安和法官,但依旧做不到高度准确。当然,想要彻底弄明白法庭审判是否公正,或者正在受审的撒谎者是否真的在说谎,这根本不可能。对所有的谎言测试来说,这都是个问题。测谎仪(通过测试受审者的压力)的结果也是多变的。即使测谎仪在测试犯罪人员时的准确率有85%,但对于无辜的人,测谎仪的准确率只有56%。[/cn] [en]The truth is, we all behave slightly differently when we’re dishonest, and there’s no definitive telltale sign that unmasks all liars. But the University of Michigan research can help build a picture of dishonesty.[/en][cn]事实是,撒谎时,我们表现的都会略有不同,并没有绝对的迹象能够使我们揭露骗子。但密歇根大学的这项研究依旧可以帮我们构建一幅撒谎者的画像。[/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。

囧研究:爱Shopping?23分钟后变购物狂
面的这个消息。[/cn] 小编注:Boxing Day是西方的节礼日,即12月26日,圣诞节之后的第二天日。通常英国商家都会在这一天开始打折,因此这天也是人们抢购便宜商品的好时机。土豪你好!中国游客成伦敦节礼日消费大户>>> [en]For it turns out the most effective shopping [w=spree]sprees[/w] are the [w=snappy]snappiest[/w] ones – with our ability to spot a bargain dropping off significantly after less than half an hour.[/en][cn]研究证明,在购物狂潮中动作最快的人才是最会买东西的人。——我们讨价还价的能力在不到半小时的时间内就会明显降低。[/cn] [en]According to experts, the rational part of the brain begins to shut down after just 23 minutes on average when comparing deals.[/en][cn]专家研究显示,平均而言,人们大脑中进行数理运算的部分(我们在购物中正是运动这部分大脑)在短短23分钟后就会暂停运转。[/cn] [en]The speed at which our cognitive abilities switch off was revealed in tests on 400 people who were placed in a £3 million 20-tonne medical MRI scanner.[/en] [cn]为了研究我们大脑感知能力停滞的速度,专家对400名实验参与者进行了研究。这400位实验参与者在一部价值三百万英镑重达20公吨的核磁共振扫描仪上接受了检查。[/cn] [en]It found the higher brain functions in the pre-frontal cortex initially give us the edge when hunting for bargains.[/en][cn]研究发现,在人们购物时,依靠的是前额叶皮层产生的高级脑功能。[/cn] [en]But relying on it for long periods is tiring, causing us to revert to more primitive parts of the brain, like the insular cortex, which are no good when it comes to judging value for money.[/en][cn]但是前额叶皮层长时间工作会产生疲劳,使我们更多的倚靠大脑中构造较为简单的部分,例如岛叶皮层,这样人们揣度商品价值的能力因而降低。[/cn] [en]The good news for committed shoppers is a so-called ‘soft break’ – a few minutes rest grabbing a coffee, for example - can [w]reinvigorate[/w] our senses, although only temporarily.[/en][cn]对于那些热衷购物的人来说,好消息是,稍事休息一下——比如花几分钟喝杯咖啡——可以使我们的感官重新振作,虽然这仅是暂时的。[/cn]
