What animal do we have the closest relationship with? Many people would say dogs or cats, but it's actually the tiny arachnids that live all over your face. Yes, your face. Don't worry it's probably fine. Demodex mites live in the hair follicles around the peach fuzz hair that grows on your face. They are just one of the parasites that make our bodies a habitat. Some are harmless, while there are some that can cause problems.

我们与什么动物关系最密切？ 很多人会说是狗或猫，但实际上是生活在你脸上的微小蜘蛛。 是的，你的脸。 别担心，可能没问题。 蠕形螨生活在脸上生长的桃绒毛周围的毛囊中。 它们只是使我们的身体成为栖息地的寄生虫之一。 有些是无害的，而有些则可能会引起问题。

Demodex mites are usually harmless. They live in our pores and feed on sebum, the oil produced by our skin. This means that you find the most in the greasiest areas of your face, particularly around your eyes, nose and mouth. According to associate professor of invertebrate biology Alejandra Perotti, we should be grateful because d...

So, both along the fault, we like those sensors really close the fault because that gives us really those first motions that are coming out of the earthquake.

这两个传感器都紧贴断层，我们很喜欢紧贴断层的传感器，因为这样能让我们真正捕捉到地震最初的震动情况。

It tells us the earthquake has started. So, once that earthquake started, seismic waves start travelling away from where that earthquake starts.

这样我们就知道地震发生了。一旦地震开始发生，地震波就会从地震起始处向外传播。

'P waves' or primary waves are the first waves that arrive. They're faster and you feel sort of a jolt coming up beneath you.

“P波”或“初至波”最先到达观测点，传播速度很快，你会感觉到脚下有种震动感。

The 'S waves' would travel along behind those and start shaking you back and forth.

“S波”会紧随其后，让你来回摇晃。

This new study from Pakistan suggests synchronising exercise to match people's natural sleep-wake cycles or internal body clock could offer the greatest health benefits.

这项来自巴基斯坦的新研究表明，将锻炼时间和个人的睡眠觉醒周期或体内生物钟同步，能给健康带来最多益处。

Volunteers who tried it had better sleep, lower blood pressure and healthier blood sugar levels overall. In the study, a group of 40 to 60-year-olds with at least one heart risk were categorised: 70 as morning larks and 64 as night owls. Over three months, some did almost daily exercises at times that matched their body clock, while others did the opposite.

尝试了这种锻炼方式的志愿者普遍睡眠质量更好、血压更低且整体血糖水平更健康。研究中，一组年龄在 40 到 60 岁、具有至少一项心脏病风险因素的人被分为了两类： 70 个 “百灵鸟” 和 64 个 “夜猫子”。在三个月间，一部分人几乎每天都在符合生物钟的时间锻炼，而另一部分人则相反。

The findings suggested that forcing a 5am workout on a night owl didn't give great results. Why? The researchers say because the body clock affects hormone and energy levels across the day, which in turn, could influence exercise performance and adherence.

研究结果表明，强迫

The tradition of sending greeting cards has withstood the rise of digital communication. Though often inexpensive, cards can convey our thoughts and emotions. Their rich history spreads over centuries of civilisations across the world, building a culture of card giving along its way.

发送贺卡的传统经受住了数字通信的兴起。 尽管卡片通常很便宜，但它可以传达我们的想法和情感。 他们丰富的历史在世界各地传播了几个世纪的文明，一路建立了一种卡片赠送文化。

It was written in a 2011 edition of Souvenirs, Gifts, & Novelties that since the earliest days of written interaction, special occasions such as birthdays and seasonal celebrations have been recognised through handwritten notes and letters. Ancient Egyptians wrote scrolls. In China, wishes of good fortune were sent in decorative red envelopes around Chinese New Year. And similarly, cards featuring classical Persian poetic verse written in calligraphy were exchanged. These gestures paved the way for the cultur...

Years ago Jamila Larson saw hundreds of children were living in homeless shelters in Washington D.C. So she decided to seek it for herself.

几年前，贾米拉·拉森(JamilaLarson)看到数百名儿童住在华盛顿特区的收容所受罪，于是她决定亲自去一探究竟。

I really wasn't prepared for what I saw. I saw half-dressed children in the hallway with no toys, rows of metal bunk beds, sheets for doors, no screens on the windows.

我真的没做好心理准备去面对我所看到的一切。走廊里站着衣衫不整的孩子，没有玩具，只有成排的金属双层床，门帘是床单做的，窗户上连纱窗都没有。

And I asked the women giving me a tour doesn't anyone ever donate toys, thinking that my co-workers and I could do a toy drive for the holidays.

我问带我参观的女士是否有人捐赠过玩具，想着我和同事们可以在假期发起一次玩具募捐活动。

So I was told yes sometimes people donate toys but we keep them in a closet. So the kids won't make a mess.

我听说，有时人们会捐赠玩具，但收容所会把它们放在壁橱里，这样孩子们就不会弄得一团糟。

So that's when I learned that it wasn't actually going to be helpful for us to donate toys, that we literally needed to donate ourselves.

Overpriced shop-bought sandwiches, underwhelming food from your work canteen or pricey local restaurants. If those are the alternatives, then it's unsurprising that many of us think leftovers make the perfect lunch. Leftovers are a good way to cut down on food waste. If you've cooked them yourself, then you can be sure what all the ingredients are and where they've come from. But how safe are leftovers? Could there be a danger lurking in your lunchbox?

商店购买的三明治价格过高，工作食堂或当地昂贵餐馆的食物平淡无奇。 如果这些都是替代方案，那么我们中的许多人认为剩菜是完美的午餐就不足为奇了。 剩菜剩饭是减少食物浪费的好方法。 如果您自己煮过它们，那么您可以确定所有成分是什么以及它们来自哪里。 但剩菜有多安全呢？ 你的午餐盒里是否潜藏着危险？

It's not just you that loves your leftovers. The BBC's Trust Me, I'm a Doctor programme tells us that they are also great for bacteria like listeria, salmonella and campylobacter. They can nourish themselves on the food we love and multiply incredibly quickly. One campylobacter bacterium can multiply to 70,000 million bacteria in just 12 hours. Food poisoning caused by these b...

On the floor of the North Atlantic Ocean rests one of history's most fantastic failures, the unsinkable RMS Titanic.

在北大西洋海底躺着历史上最引人注目的失败之一——号称“永不沉没”的泰坦尼克号。

The salvage firm RMS Titanic Inc has so far recovered more than 5,000 pieces of dinnerware and coins from the wreckage.

Would you be the same person if you'd grown up in different surroundings? How might you be different if you'd grown up in an urban versus a rural environment, or in a different country altogether? This is the age-old, nature-nurture debate that has had people pondering for many years. Is your personality written in your genes or shaped by your experience? Most experts agree that it is a combination of both. Let's hear about ways this can be put to the test.

如果你在不同的环境中长大，你还会是同一个人吗？ 如果你是在城市环境中长大，而不是在乡村环境中长大，或者在完全不同的国家中长大，你会有什么不同？ 这是一个古老的、先天与后天的争论，多年来一直引起人们的思考。 你的性格是由你的基因决定的还是由你的经历塑造的？ 大多数专家都认为这是两者的结合。 让我们听听可以对此进行测试的方法。

A common way is to study twin pairs, because if personality came only from genes, you might expect identical twins to have the same, or a very similar, personality. Research called 'Meta-analysis of the heritability of human traits based on fifty years of twin studies' looked at 14 million twin pairs in 39 countries. Do identical twins, who share almost identical DNA, have mor...

这个团队筛选出的物种现在将被提议列入《保护野生动物迁徙物种公约》。

Doodle dogs, bred from a poodle crossed with a different breed, have grown in popularity in recent years, but the Royal Veterinary College says they don't always behave as expected, particularly around training, anxiety and aggression.

“杂交贵宾犬”，也就是贵宾犬和其它犬种的杂交后代，近年来大受青睐。但皇家兽医学院表示，这类混种犬的行为表现并不总能如人所愿，尤其是在受训能力、焦虑情绪和攻击性方面。

It questioned the owners of more than 9,000 dogs in the UK, looking at doodles and the parent breeds.

这项研究调查了英国 9000 多名犬主，对比了杂交贵宾犬和它们亲代品种的情况。

The researchers found where there were differences, the doodle breeds behaviours were more undesirable in eight out of ten cases.

研究人员发现，在存在差异的行为对比中，杂交贵宾犬的行为在 80% 的情况下表现得更不理想。

The most common issues were fear of loud noises, separation anxiety and problems with training.

They can confirm the existence of the smallest particles that theoretical physicists have predicted, and accelerate protons, one of the building blocks of atoms to nearly the speed of light, and they can create antimatter.

它们能够证实理论物理学家预言的最小粒子的存在，将原子基本构成之一的质子加速至接近光速，还能制造出反物质。

But this doesn't mean they understand everything yet.

但这并不意味着他们目前理解了一切。

Scientists think that at the beginning of things, the so-called Big Bang, matter and antimatter, negative matter, were created in equal amounts.

科学家们认为，在万物初始之时，即所谓的大爆炸时期，物质与反物质（负物质）是等量产生的。

The concept continues to blow my mind. It really will enable astronauts to explore.

这个概念仍然让我惊叹不已。它真的能让宇航员进行探索。

Dr. Pascal Lee has literally gone to the ends of the earth to test equipment for NASA.

李天龙确实曾到地球的尽头为美国宇航局测试设备。

We want astronauts to go to Mars, be effective explorers, to pick up rocks, to examine fossils potentially, to look for life. All these things require dexterity.

我们希望宇航员去到火星，进行高效探索，拾起岩石，甚至可以检测化石，寻找生命。所有这些都需要灵巧的操作。

When it's pressurized, the spaceship becomes rigid, astronauts have a very hard time moving anything, the fingers are difficult to move.

当飞船加压时，舱体会变得非常坚硬，宇航员移动任何物体都极为困难，连手指都难以活动。

At a conference in Norway, Lee happened to meet some engineering students with a possible solution.

在挪威的一次会议上，李天龙偶然遇到了一些可能有解决办法的工程专业学生。

Britain is looking for new partners and it is eyeing Africa.

英国正在寻找新的合作伙伴，并将目光投向了非洲。

With 1.2 billion people and eight of the world's 15 fastest-growing economies, Africa offers world-beating returns on investment, according to a report from the Overseas Development Institute.

海外发展研究所的一份报告显示，非洲拥有12亿人口，全球15个增长最快的经济体中非洲占了8个，投资回报率全球领先。

In the past 20 years it's about 16% and this is much higher than in other countries.

在过去的20年中，这一比例约为16％，远高于其他国家。

Even if you look at returns in Latin America and other developing countries, this case of higher returns in Africa is definitely should encourage more UK investments in the continent.

即使你观察拉丁美洲和其他发展中国家的回报率，非洲这种更高回报的情况无疑会鼓励英国在非洲大陆进行更多投资。

Britain is playing catch-up. Data from agency the International Trade Center showed France and Germany export more than double the value of goods to Africa than Britain does.

英国正在奋起直追。国际贸易中心的数据显示，法国和德国向非洲出口商品的价值是英国的两倍多。

Its length isn't what makes the path special, says Natural England's Neil Constable, who led the project. For him, the important thing is it means you can now reach the coast anywhere in England, turn left or right, and follow the sea for as long as you like.

这条步道的长度并非它最特别的地方，这是该项目负责人、英格兰自然署官员尼尔·康斯特布尔的看法。对他而言，最重要的一点是这条步道的建成意味着现在你可以来到英格兰海岸线上的任何一个地方，向左或向右转，便能沿着海岸随心所欲地想走多远就走多远。

Creating the route has taken 18 years, an act of parliament, andextensiveplanning and construction. More than a thousand miles of new path have been built, withupgradessuch asboardwalksand bridges. Newlegal provisionsmean the route can also adapt to climate change,shiftinginlandaserosionand rising seasreshape the coastline.

这条路线的建成历时 18 年，期间通过了一项议会法案，并进行了大量的规划和建设。其中新建的步道超过 1000 英里，并增设了木栈道和桥梁等升级设施。新的法律条文确保了该路线能够应对气候变化，随着海水侵蚀和海平面升高不断重塑海岸线，步道位置可随之向内陆迁移。

Animals build their homes to achieve different living goals. Bees build hives to store and protect food, spiders spin webs to catch prey and beavers build dams to create pools. But, as you walk around a town or stroll along a countryside pathway, you may notice some unique homes up on the treetops – nests.

动物建造家园是为了实现不同的生活目标。 蜜蜂建造蜂巢来储存和保护食物，蜘蛛结网来捕捉猎物，海狸建造水坝来形成水池。 但是，当您在城镇中漫步或沿着乡村小路漫步时，您可能会注意到树顶上有一些独特的房屋 - 巢穴。

Like architects, birds carefully engineer their nests before building them. A report named Architectural traditions in the structures built by cooperative weaver birds says that their designs are influenced by those before them. A study released by iScience finds that birds follow a culture that gets passed down. Not the high culture of art, literature and music, but an older process of transmitting traits and skills through generations.

像建筑师一样，鸟类在建造巢穴之...

Streaming video platforms have given filmmakers massive budgets and allowed them to make creative and artistic films and series free of the restrictions of cinema or broadcast time slots. But, maybe, just maybe, not everyone wants a three-hour long work of creative genius. Minute-long micro-dramas are taking the entertainment market by storm.

流媒体视频平台为电影制片人提供了大量预算，使他们能够不受影院或广播时段的限制制作创意和艺术电影和电视剧。 但是，也许，只是也许，并不是每个人都想要一部长达三个小时的创意天才作品。 时长一分钟的微剧正在席卷娱乐市场。

Perhaps most people are looking for something that they can squeeze into their everyday life. Micro-dramas cater perfectly for this need.
