有声双语美文：刺猬与狐狸的哲理
There are two types of people in this world. The first type is like foxes. The other type is like hedgehogs.
这个世界上有两种人，一种是刺猬，另一种是狐狸。
A fox knows many trivial things. And they can do a lot of stuff. 狐狸知道很多小事，也会很多东西。
They are not among the top experts of any fields. But they know some things in almost every field.
他们虽然在所有的领域都不是最顶尖的专家，但他们对很多领域都略通一二。 They understand how complicated the world is and they integrate themselves with this complicated system deeply.
他们理解世界的复杂性，并且将自己与这个复杂的系统深度结合。
They often jump from one field into another and bring there some sparks of innovation.
他们经常在各个领域之间跳来跳去，往往会带来创新的火花。 On the other hand, a hedgehog knows only one important thing. 而刺猬，只知道一件大事。
They tend to induct every complicated thing they encounter into the only system that they understand.
他们愿意把任何复杂的东西都往自己知道的这件大事上归纳。
Because of this, they are usually only involved in a limited number of fields. But they usually know these fields very well.
也正因为如此，他们所涉及的领域往往很单一，但却能在这个领域钻研到深处。
This is just like the hedgehogs in the nature. No matter what situation they come to meet, the only solution they choose will be curling up into a ball. 这就像自然界中的刺猬一样，遇到一切情况时，它都只有一个解决方案：蜷缩成球。
This is not a clever choice but it really works in front of most dangers. 这个方法很笨，但在面对绝大多数危险的时候真的很管用。 So, which one are you? 你是哪一种呢？
Are you a fox? Or are you a hedgehog? 你是狐狸？还是刺猬？\' ==

科学家十年内将生产出“健康”白面包 吃一点就饱
Guilt-free white bread could be available within a decade
近年来，越来越多关注健康的人士抛弃了松软香甜的白面包，转而啃起了口感粗糙的黑面包或全麦面包，只因为黑面包比白面包“更健康”。难道美味和健康就不能兼得吗？英国科学家宣称，只要等上十年，就可以吃到和黑面包一样健康的白面包，而且吃这种新面包还能减肥。
Fluffy white bread could be as guilt-free as brown within a decade after scientists at a new government-backed research hub vowed to create more healthy wheat.
十年之后松软的白面包将和黑面包一样健康，英国政府支持的一个新研究中心的科学家宣称将生产出更健康的小麦。
Currently white bread is so much worse because it contains a type of starch which is digested too quickly, leading to huge spikes in blood sugar which the body can only get rid of by storing it as fat.
目前白面包的健康价值比黑面包差很多是因为含有一种能被身体快速消化的淀粉，消化后只能转化为脂肪储存，从而导致血糖激增。
Over time such spikes can stop the body producing enough insulin to get rid of the blood sugar, leading to type 2 diabetes, and damage to blood cells. White bread also prevents the body feeling full, which leads to overeating.
时间长了，血糖激增会阻止人体产生足够的胰岛素来分解血糖，进而导致2型糖尿病，破坏血细胞。白面包还会阻止身体产生饱腹感，从而导致过度进食。
But researchers at new Quadram Institute in Norwich are planning to breed a new type of wheat which will be digested more slowly. 不过，英国诺威奇新成立的四方研究所的研究人员正计划培育一种能够在人

体内缓慢消化的新型小麦。
Professor Richard Mithen, group leader of the Food and Chemistry Human Health group at the institute said: “Hopefully it would be as delicious and have the texture you wanted normal bread to be, there wouldn’t be any taste difference.
研究所食品和化学人体健康组的组长理查德·米森教授说：“希望这种新型小麦做成的面包能拥有普通白面包同样的口感和味道，能够同样美味。” “But it will reduce this big increase in glucose after you eat, it would fill you up, it would say ok, you’ve had a sandwich for lunch that’s enough, you don’t need anything else.
“不过新面包会令你产生饱腹感，这样你午饭只要吃一个三明治就饱了，不需要再吃其他东西，从而大大减少葡萄糖的摄入量。”
“And those starches which go down to the lower gut they ferment those sugars to produce short-chain fatty acids and it’s widely thought those are very beneficial to gut health.”
“当这种淀粉进入肠道时，淀粉中的葡萄糖会发酵产生短链脂肪酸，普遍认为这种脂肪酸对肠道健康非常有益。”
The team are planning to use genes from wild varieties of wheat or maize, which already have the less digestible starch, to breed with crop varieties to make white flour that would be far better for health. 研究团队计划用含有不易消化的淀粉的野生小麦或玉米的基因和普通小麦杂交，生产出对健康有益得多的白面粉。

They believe it could make fast food far healthier in the future, and help tackle Britain’s growing obesity epidemic.
科学家认为，这会让快餐在未来变得更健康，并帮助解决英国日益恶化的肥胖流行症。
“We think about fast foods, they are fast to buy, fast to eat and very fast to digest and it’s that fast digestion the problems,” added Prof Mithen.
