Text2 Dolphins have the longest social memory
海豚终生不忘其社会记忆
Dolphins Keep Lifelong Social Memories, Longest in a Non-Human Species
Dolphins can recognize their old tank mates' whistles after being separated for more than 20 years -- the longest social memory ever recorded for a non-human species
海豚保持终身的社会记忆，在非人类物种最长
20xx年8月6日 - 海豚能识别被分开超过20年后，他们的老坦克队友的汽笛声 - 非人类物种有史以来最长的社会记忆。
The remarkable memory feat is another indication that dolphins have a level of cognitive sophistication comparable to only a few other species, including humans, chimpanzees and elephants. Dolphins' talent for social recognition may be even more long-lasting than facial recognition among humans, since human faces change over time but the signature whistle that identifies a dolphin remains stable over many decades.
惊人的记忆力壮举，是另一个迹象表明，海豚具有复杂认知水平相媲美只有少数其他物种，包括人类，黑猩猩和大象。海豚社会的承认“人才可能会更加持久的比人类之间的面部识别人脸，因为随着时间的推移改变，但过去几十年来保持稳定识别海豚的署名叫声。
"This shows us an animal operating cognitively at a level that's very consistent with human social memory," said Jason Bruck, who conducted the study and received his Ph.D. in June 2013 from the University of Chicago's program in Comparative Human Development. His study is published in the current issue of the Proceedings of the Royal Society of London B.
“这表明我们认知的水平，这是非常符合人类社会记忆的动物，布鲁克说：”贾森，谁进行了研究，并获得博士学位20xx年6月从芝加哥的节目在大学比较人类发展。他的研究发表在最新一期的诉讼B.伦敦皇家学会
To establish how well dolphins could remember their former companions, Bruck collected data from 53 different bottlenose dolphins at six facilities, including Brookfield Zoo near Chicago and Dolphin Quest in Bermuda. The six sites were part of a breeding consortium that has rotated dolphins and kept records on which ones lived together, going back decades.
以及如何建立的海豚能记得他们以前的同伴，布鲁克收集的数据来自53个不同的宽吻海豚在6设施，包括芝加哥布鲁克菲尔德动物园附近和Dolphin Quest在百慕达。六个站点有旋转的海豚，并保持记录哪些住在一起，回去十年的养殖联合体的一部分。
"This is the kind of study you can only do with captive groups when you know how long the animals have been apart," Bruck said. "To do a similar study in the wild would be almost impossible."
“布鲁克说： ”这是什么样的研究，当你知道有多长的动物已经分开，你只能做与圈养群体。 “做了类似的研究，在野外几乎是不可能的。 ”
In recent years, other studies have established that each dolphin develops its own unique signature whistle that appears to function as a name. Researchers Vincent M. Janik and Stephanie L. King at Scotland's University of St. Andrews reported earlier this year that a wild bottlenose dolphin can learn and repeat signatures belonging to other individuals, and answer when another dolphin mimics its unique call.
近年来，其他的研究已证实，每只海豚发展其自己独特的签名的哨子，出现功能名称。研究
人员文森特?雅尼克和Stephanie L.国王在苏格兰的圣安德鲁斯大学今年早些时候报道，野生宽吻海豚可以学习和重复属于其他个人的签名，并回答当另一个海豚模仿其独特的呼叫。
Bruck played recordings of signature whistles to dolphins that had once lived with the animals that made the calls. Determining whether the dolphins recognized their old companions required a methodical comparison of how they responded to familiar calls versus calls belonging to dolphins they had never met.
布鲁克演奏的录音签名口哨海豚曾经住在一起的动物，使呼叫。确定，海豚是否承认他们的老同伴需要有条不紊的比较熟悉的电话与电话，他们从来没有见过海豚属于他们如何回应。
First, Bruck would play recording after recording of signature whistles that the target dolphins had never heard before. His initial studies showed that these "dolphins get bored quickly listening to signature whistles from dolphins they don't know." Once they were habituated to the unfamiliar calls, Bruck would play a recording of an animal that he knew the target dolphin had lived with.
首先，布鲁克将播放录音记录后签名口哨的目标从来没有听说过海豚。他最初的研究表明，这些“海豚很快又会厌倦听海豚，他们不知道签名口哨”。一旦他们习惯了陌生来电，布鲁克将播放录音的动物，他知道目标海豚曾在此居住。
The familiar calls often would perk up the dolphins and elicit an immediate response.
熟悉的电话常常会重新振作起来的海豚，并征求立即响应。
"When they hear a dolphin they know, they often quickly approach the speaker playing the recording," Bruck said. "At times they will hover around, whistle at it, try to get it to whistle back."
“当他们听到海豚，他们知道，他们往往迅速接近扬声器播放录音， ”布鲁克说。 “有时候，他们将徘徊在吹口哨，试图得到它吹口哨回。 ”
To check that the response was the result of recognition, Bruck also would play a test recording of an unfamiliar bottlenose that was the same age and sex as the familiar animal. All the behavior was scored according to how quickly and to what degree the animals responded.
要检查该响应是识别结果，布鲁克也将扮演一个陌生的吻，那是熟悉的动物相同的年龄和性
别的测试记录。拿下所有的行为如何快速到什么程度动物回应。
A clear pattern emerged in the data: Compared with unfamiliar calls, dolphins responded significantly more to whistles from animals they once knew, even if they had not heard the calls in decades.
一个清晰的模式出现的数据显示：与陌生的电话相比，海豚显著回应口哨动物，他们一旦知道，即使他们没有听到呼叫几十年。
8Text 8 美国人太自负于他们的体重（美国人不认为自己胖） Ninety percent of Americans know that most of their compatriots are overweight, but just 40 percent believe themselves to be too fat, according to a study published on Tuesday.
本周二公布的一项调查报告显示，有多达90%的美国人认为他们的大部分同胞都超重，但只有40%的人承认自己胖。
Government statistics show that more that 60 percent of the U.S. population is overweight, and half is obese, meaning they are at serious risk of health effects from their weight.
美国政府的统计数字显示，有超过60%的美国人超重，有一半美国人处于肥胖状态，这意味着众多美国人都处在一种健康隐患之中。
But the Pew Research Center telephone survey of more than 2,000 adults found that many people overestimate how tall they are and underestimate how much they weigh--and thus do not rate themselves are overweight, even when they are.
美国皮尤研究中心对2000多名美国成年人进行了一项电话调查。调查结果显示，很多美国人都过高估计了自己的身高，同时低估了自己的体重，即便他们确实超重了，他们也并不觉得自己胖。
"The survey finds that most Americans, including those who say they are overweight, agree that personal behavior--rather than genetic disposition or marketing by food companies--is the main reason people are overweight," Pew says in the report.
调查报告中写道：“调查发现，大多数美国人，其中包括那些认为自己超重的人，都认为个人行为习惯而非遗传或其他因素是造成超重的最主要原因。”
"In particular, the public says that a failure to get enough exercise is the most important reason, followed by a lack of willpower about what to eat. About half the public also says that the kinds of foods marketed at restaurants and grocery stores are a very important cause, and roughly a third say the same about the effect of genetics and heredity."
报告说，大多数被调查者都指出，缺乏足够的体育锻炼是其中最主要的原因，其次是缺乏控制饮食的意志力。另外，大约还有一半的被调查者还表示，在餐馆和食品店中出售的食物种类也是一个非常重要的因素。还有大约三分之一的人认为基因及遗传因素从中起作用。 And at least some people appear to have given up on dieting to control their weight, the survey found.
调查显示，至少有些人为了控制体重开始采取了节食的做法。
"One in four respondents in our survey say they are currently dieting, and roughly half (52 percent) say they have dieted at some point in their lives. In a poll taken 15 years ago, the percentage of adults who reported having ever dieted was slightly higher--57 percent," the report reads.
“有四分之一的被调查者表示他们目前正在节食，还有大约一半的人(52%)表示他们曾经采取过节食这种做法。在15年前的一项相关调查中，表示有过节食做法的成年人的比率要稍高一些，为57%。”
The adults polled were asked how tall they are and how much they weigh. Doctors and researchers around the world use a ration of height to weight called body mass index to calculate if someone is obese or overweight.
研究人员和医护者向这些参与调查的人询问其身高和体重，然后计算出他们的身体质量指数，以衡量其是否超重或肥胖。
The women reported they weighed a median of 150 pounds and had a median height of 5 feet five inches, which would put them just barely on the borderline of being overweight.
按照这些女性被调查者的表述，她们的平均体重为150磅，平均身高为5英尺5英寸，这让她们正处于超重的边缘。
But national statistics indicate that U.S. women in fact have a median weight of 155 pounds and are only 5 feet 4 inches tall, which puts them squarely into the overweight column.
但国家统计数字显示，美国妇女实际上的平均体重为155磅，平均身高为5英尺4英寸，这样算出的身体质量指数则不折不扣地属于超重范围。
"As for men, well, they give themselves even more phantom height than women do--two extra inches," the report reads. "The self-reported median height of men in the Pew survey is 5 feet 11 inches, compared with 5 feet 9 inches in the government survey."
对于美国成年男性来说，他们对自己身高的评价则要比女性更加“乐观”一些——他们对自己身高的评价整整多出了2英寸。皮尤研究中心的调查中，美国男人自我报告的平均身高为5英尺11英寸，而政府部门的调查则显示为5英尺9英寸。
"Virtually everyone agrees that a person's weight has an impact on the chances for a long and healthy life," the report reads. "More than nine-in-ten (91 percent) believe that weight has an impact on attractiveness, either a little (35 percent) or a lot (56 percent)."
报告说，事实上每个人都承认人的体重对于寿命和健康的影响。超过9/10的人(91%)承认体重对外形吸引力的影响，35%的人认为影响较小，而有56%的人认为有很大影响。 9 翻译的不好，待改进、
