汉译英文章
现在是凌晨145,21岁的托马斯·墨菲(Thomas Murphy)正在熬夜为今天下午2点的一个重要的工程学考试而学习。为了保持清醒和专注,他在之前的三个小时内喝了两杯咖啡,现在正在喝一种流行的能量饮料﹣﹣比相同大小的一听苏打水所含的咖啡因高二到三倍。许多像墨菲一样的学生、马拉松运动员、航空公司飞行员和长途旅行者,将他们的能量归功于人类最古老的兴奋剂(stimulant)之——咖啡因。很多人说他们离不开它。
Its 1:45 a.m., but 21-year-old Thomas Murphy is studying for an important engineering exam scheduled for 2 p.m. today. In order to stay awake and focused, he drank two cups of coffee in the previous three hours. He is currently consuming a popular energy drink, which contains two to three times more caffeine than a can of soda water of the same size. Many students, marathon runners, airline pilots and long-distance travelers, like Murphy, attribute their energy to caffeine, one of mankinds oldest stimulants. Many people claim that they cannot live without it.
克服身体疲乏和提高效率的能力是咖啡因如此受欢迎的部分原因。它不仅存在于苏打水,能量饮料,咖啡和茶中,还存在于减肥药、止痛药(如阿司匹林)和巧克力棒中。世界各地都对咖啡因的使用创造了整套仪式:英国的下午茶、法国的咖啡文化和很多文化中标志着一天开始的早咖啡和早茶。
The ability to overcome physical fatigue and improve efficiency is partly the reason why caffeine is so popular. It is found not only in soda water, energy drinks, coffee, and tea, but also in diet pills, pain relievers (like aspirin), and chocolate bars. Caffeine-related rituals have developed all over the world, including afternoon tea in Britain, coffee culture in France, and morning coffee and morning tea, which mark the beginning of the day in many cultures.
许多我们吃的食物和喝的水中都有咖啡因,但是它果真对我们有益吗?一位哈佛医学院的科学家和睡眠专家查理斯·切斯勒认为咖啡因会引起失眠,这是不健康的。切斯勒说:没有充足的睡眠——标准的8小时,人体就不会在肉体上、精神上和情感上以最佳状态运作。我们往往摄入咖啡因来保持清醒,这让我们随后不能获得需要的休息。
Many foods we eat and water we drink contain caffeine, but is it really beneficial to us? Charles Czeisler, a scientist and sleep expert at Harvard Medical School, believes that caffeine can cause unhealthy insomnia. He stated that without adequate sleep-the recommended eight hours of sleep-the human body will not function physically, mentally and emotionally. We tend to consume caffeine to stay awake, which prevents us from getting the sleep we require.
健康风险也与咖啡因摄入紧密相关。多年来,很多研究将特定种类的癌症、骨病的高发率归因于咖啡因的摄入。然而迄今为止,并没有足够的证据证明咖啡因的确会引起这些疾病。
Also, health risks are closely related to the intake of caffeine. Over the years, many studies have attributed the high incidence of certain types of cancer and bone diseases to the intake of caffeine. So far, however, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that caffeine causes these diseases.
科学界普遍认为,适度地摄入咖啡因并不危险,例如,每天喝一两小杯咖啡(大约300毫克咖啡因)。此外,很多现有的研究反驳了长期以来关于咖啡因的负面看法,认为它可能实际上对健康有益。例如:研究表明咖啡因通过降低肌肉炎症可以有助缓解疼痛。因为咖啡因是一种兴奋剂,所以它也能帮助提高一个人的情绪。研究还表明一些咖啡因饮料中,特别是某些茶中,含有可以帮助身体对抗很多疾病的化学物质。
The scientific community generally believes that moderate intake of caffeine is safe, for example, drinking one or two small cups of coffee (about 300 milligrams of caffeine) per day. In addition, many existing studies refute the long-held negative view of caffeine, suggesting that it may actually be beneficial to health. For example, studies have shown that caffeine can relieve pain by reducing muscle inflammation. As a stimulant, caffeine can also help to improve a persons mood. According to research, some caffeine drinks, especially certain teas, contain chemicals that can help the human body fight many diseases.
咖啡因对行为的影响是真实的,但是非常轻微。当然,获得更多能量是许多受欢迎的饮料中含有咖啡因的原因。无论是一个学生在课前喝咖啡,还是一个商人吃午饭时喝茶,人类最喜欢的兴奋剂都在发挥作用。
The influence of caffeine on behavior is real, but it is very slight. Certainly, getting more energy is the reason why many popular drinks contain caffeine. Whether a student drinks coffee before class or a businessman drinks tea at lunch, humans favorite stimulant is at work.
