有声双语美文：难道真要工作一辈子吗？
Warren Buffet once said: sleep, you will work until you die.
沃伦·巴菲特曾经说过：“如果你不想个办法在你睡觉的时候赚钱，那你就得一直工作到死。”
Sounds ridiculous in the first place, right? Isn’t that obvious? 这句话初听下来有点荒唐，这不是明摆着的吗？
And how on earth can it be possible to make money while you sleep? 而且，怎么可能在睡觉的时候赚钱？
If you want to have an income, you have to work, right? 如果需要有收入，当然就得一直工作，对不对？ But no, what he said is not wrong. 不，其实他说的并没有错。
That way which he described as to make money while you sleep is called investing.
他所说的那种“在睡觉时赚钱”的方法，就是投资。
Normal middle-class use their skills and time to make money. But the rich use their money to make money. They invest the money that they own now to make ROI, which means return on investment.
普通的中产阶级靠技能和时间换钱，而有钱人是靠钱赚钱的，他们用自己现有的钱去赚取投资回报。
It’s not a hard thing to do, because there are a lot of ways to manage your personal finance.
这个方法并不难，因为理财的方式有很多。
In the past, I usually spent as much as I could earn in a month. 从前，我是一个大手大脚的月光族，每个月赚多少就花多少。
But when I saw this quote of Buffett, I suddenly realized: Isn’t that making all my efforts in vain? Because I have nothing left. I didn’t make anything for my future.
但自从看到了巴菲特的这句话，我才恍然大悟：这样一来，我每个月不就白
1 / 13
工作了吗？因为什么都没有剩下，我并没有为自己的未来创造什么。
That’s why I started to face the truth of how I was living. And I made some bold changes and began to save money.
这也就是为什么我开始正视自己的生活方式，并进行了大刀阔斧的改变，开始存钱。
I wish that there is a day when I no longer need to work and can use money to make money.
我希望有一天能不再工作，而是用钱来赚钱 ==
囧研究：玩手机对眼睛的伤害，究竟有多大？
We all know that the blue light that emits from our smartphones isn\'t good for our eyes, but a new study has discovered just how much damage it can cause.
我们都知道智能手机发出的蓝光对眼睛有伤害，但一项最新研究发现了这些蓝光的具体的伤害程度。
Researchers say that this light is absorbed by vital molecules in our retina and triggers the production of a toxic chemical that kill cells.
研究人员发现，视网膜上面的主要分子会吸收这些蓝光，并会产生有毒的化学物质来杀死细胞。
This damage can lead to large blind spots in our vision that are the hallmark of macular degeneration, a disease that leads to blindness.
这种伤害可导致视力出现大面积盲点，也就是黄斑病变的典型特征。这种疾病最终会导致失明
The team from the University of Toledo in Ohio says it is urging the public to not use phones in the dark because this can dilate pupils and lead to even more harmful blue light entering our eyes.
来自俄亥俄托莱多大学的研究小组，呼吁公众不要在暗处使用手机，这样会导致瞳孔放大，而且导致更多蓝光进入我们的眼睛。
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss for those age 50 or older, according to the National Eye Institute.

国立眼科研究所的数据表示，由于黄斑病变导致视力减弱的主要是50岁及以上的人群。
Sufferers will experience blurred vision or even \'blind spots\' in their central vision that may grow larger as the retina dies.
患者通常会觉得在视觉中心区域视力模糊，或者出现“盲点”，而且随着视网膜细胞坏死盲点的区域会扩大。
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, 9.1 million
Americans have early AMD and 2.1 million above age 50 have late AMD, which is a stage of severe vision loss.
根据美国眼科学会，910万美国人有早期黄斑病变，有210万年龄超过50岁的美国人有晚期黄斑病变，也就是视力重度损害。
For this study, the team decided to focus on retinal, a form of vitamin A found in the retina that coverts light into metabolic energy.
从研究结果来看，研究小组把重心放在视网膜上，在视网膜上发现的一种维生素A能够把光转换成代谢能。
Photoreceptor cells, use retinal to covert light into signals that are sent to the brain.
感光细胞通过视网膜将信号传递给大脑。
The team did find a molecule, a vitamin E derivative known as alpha tocopherol, that can stop the cells from dying.
研究小组发现一种分子，是维他命E的衍生物也就是α生育酚，能够阻止细胞的死亡。
DrKarunarathne says some of the ways we can protect ourselves include wearing sunglasses that can filter both UV and blue light, using blue light filters on our phones, and not looking at cell phones or tablets in the dark. 有以下几种方式可以保护我们，包括佩戴太阳眼镜可以滤掉UV和蓝光，在手机上用蓝光滤膜，不要在黑的地方玩手机和平板，Karunarathne博士如是说 ==
深色更醉人：威士忌还是伏特加？(双语音频) Lighter Drinks Avoid Heavy Head
3 / 13
It’s the season for celebrating – and many of those celebrations include imbibing alcohol. Which sometimes leaves us the next morning with uncomfortable reminders of our excesses. But does what we drink—say bourbon versus vodka—make a difference? Apparently so, according to a study in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research. 正逢节庆时期，庆祝的方式之一就是饮酒狂欢，而第二天早上回想起头天的嗜酒无度又让人心里不痛快。可是，喝不同的酒，例如喝波本威士忌还是喝伏特加，会对我们有不同的影响吗？显然是有的。这一结论来自于《酒精中毒：临床与实验研究》刊登的一项研究。
