《信息科学研究》(Information ScienceResearch)的一项研究发现,年轻人更喜欢电子阅读器,比如智能手机或iPad。
A study in the Information Science Research found that young people preferred e-readers, like smart phones or iPads.
研究一下历史,你就会发现,事实上,在需要空间能力和数学推理的领域——比如国际象棋、作曲和火箭科学——没有出类拔萃的女性。
Look at history and you will see that practically no women have excelled in areas where spatial ability and mathematical reasoning are required, such as chess, composing and rocket science.
他说,比如,科学家曾经在火星上的很多地方发现曾有液态水存在的证据,而这是生物生存的必要条件。
For example, scientists have found evidence that there could be liquid water-which is necessary for life on earth-at many places on the Mars.
科学家还发现深颜色的鲸鱼,比如长须鲸和抹香鲸,不会像浅蓝色的鲸鱼那样遭受同等程度的灼伤。
The scientists also found that darker whales, in this case sperm and fin whales, tended to not get sunburned as much as lighter blue whales.
这也不仅是犹他州的问题:在各地,科学家们都发现了高水平的DCA——危险真是无处不在,比如圣诞装饰物。
It's also not just Utah's problem: Across the country, scientists have been finding high levels of DCA - and finding danger in unexpected places, like Christmas ornaments.
的确,科学家们发现,大脑可能被大量刺激所影响:比如计算机游戏“俄罗斯方块”就可以增加脑物质的数量。
Indeed, scientists are discovering that the brain can be influenced by large Numbers of stimuli: computer games such as Tetris have also been found to increase the amount of brain matter.
科学家们已经发现了低血清素水平和一些精神状态的联系,比如沮丧,冲动和失去理性的行为。
Researchers have linked low levels of serotonin in the brain to various mental states, including depression and impulsive, irrational behavior.
比如,科学家们发现在重大事件中,如强烈地震,细胞启动的感官反应要——比在温和地震中——强烈得多。
For example, the scientists found that during a major event, such as a strong earthquake, cells triggered a larger sensory response than they did during a mild earthquake.
M理论预测了超对称性的存在,超对称性认为所有基本粒子都存在伴粒子,这些伴粒子的名称都很奇特,比如超对称电子(selectrons)和超对称夸克(squarks)等,但到目前为止,科学家们还没有发现这种超对称性伴粒子。
One possibility predicted by M-theory is supersymmetry, an idea that says fundamental particles have heavy – and as yet undiscovered – twins, with curious names such as selectrons and squarks.
比如说,科学家惊奇地发现主要肠内神经:迷走神经(the vagus),其90%的神经纤维,能准确把信息从肠道传递到大脑,而非反其道行之——“有一部分信息当然令人不快。”
For example, scientists were shocked to learn that about 90 percent of the fibers in the primary visceral nerve, the vagus, carry information from the gut to the brain and not the other way around.
科学家发现,一些癌症,比如白血病、乳腺癌和直肠癌,FBW7基因可能会缺失或发生改变。
Scientists had found that FBW7 was missing or altered in certain types of cancer, including leukemia, breast cancer and colon cancer.
给对方讲个笑话或营造一个喜剧场景,比如,一起学一种新舞步时,将其中一个人的眼睛蒙起来。科学家发现,让人发笑的经历能够让人产生亲密感。
Share a joke or engineer a comic situation, such as learning new dance steps while one of you is blindfolded. Scientists found an experience that makes you laugh creates a feeling of closeness.
比如说科学家研究大自然,他要花好几年的时间观察、收集资料,整理归纳,最后才发现到太阳或星球的磁场或引力。
Men of science, in studying nature, require years of labour to grasp the magnitude of, for instance, the sun and the heavenly bodies.
在研究一些特殊双胞胎的时候,比如说当某一方身患重病,如帕金森的时候,科学家们发现双胞胎的DNA模式中存在细微的差别。
Working particularly with sets of twins in which one sibling acquires a serious disease, such as Parkinson's, these scientists have noticed slight variations in twin DNA patterns.
