We all know smoking is dangerous, but being a smoking hot rock star or pop star maybe even more dangerous, Just as ~~~. A study in the Journal epidemiology community health looked at more than a thousand north American and European singers and musicians who became famous between 1956 and 1999. The research found that rock and pop stars are more than twice as likely to die in early death as the rest of us nobodies. And first few years after becoming famous are the most dangerous. Drug and alcohol abuse account for about a quarter of the early death. In all, one hundred of one thousand fifty music stars included in the study were found to die young. The average age of death for the north American was 42, the Europeans only made it to 35. If they can stay famous for 25 years after their initial stardom, European stars death rates become equal to the general population.But American idols continue to die sooner than regular folks.

They say the diamonds were girl's best friend, while the same jewel may be particularly useful to girl's knee to heaven mirro hip replace, because when it comes to making in artificial joint this built to last. "I think coating the diamond beats titanium or stainless steel hands down", associate physicists that Harvard University in the August Issue of Journal called Physical Review E, "the only problem with diamond dusted me might be bilcompatibility,  seems the naked gem might be a bit too abrasive for use in the body." So the Harvard physicists coated the diamond with ice. yes, the frozen water kind of ice. the ice layer makes the diamond coating softer and less abrasive, because the surface of the diamond layer spring would a pinch of sodium. it's perfect fit for the crystalline structure of frozen water, the ice doesn't melt, even the body temperature. In some cases, it might even remain frozen pass water's normal boiling point that physicists predict, which means diamond ice cross knee should survive even jewel mecrose melt down after few secs of high-pressure tennis.
You cannot be serious that's always on the line.

还是照例根据 kelediguo 的文本提一些意见：

About 10 major San Andreas biggies have happened during the current LA basin lull.

Well, scientists at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York have strayed even further from the mouth in their attempt to understand how the body sees sweeties.

They’ve discovered that two of the tongue’s sugar sensing receptors are also found in the gut, in specialized taste cells that tell the intestine when there’s glucose about.

Seems your tongue might be fine with a mouthful of aspartame, but your belly’s holding out for the real deal, which it wants, tout de suite.

注：

“hold out for” 是顽固地等着。

“too sweet” 是不可能的。我常说如果用“top-down” 思维，发现句子不通，那就肯定是错的。宁愿在那里放个问号，也不要放不对的词，起码可以说“没听清楚”，也不至于“错误理解”。“tout de suite” is a French expression meaning “right away”.  这里玩点儿多数美国人能懂的法语，和短文主题“sweet”产生同音异义的效果。

Perfect!

Perfect!

Close your eyes, take a deep breath, imagine you are on a beach, hearing the waves.

The idea’s [meaning “the idea is that…”] that hypnosis redirects the patients’ focus so deeply that they don’t feel the pain as much.

注：

The idea’s that -- 固定字串。

The hair of the dog. It's a shot of alcohol drunk to stop the headache from all the alcohol drunk last night, but the phrase “hair of the dog” was originally related to a far more frightening scenario. Before Louis Pasteur came up with his rabies inoculation, people bitten by rabid dogs would try to kill the animal and then liberally apply the hair of the dog to the wound. Other attempts to treat rabies included eating the hair or heart or liver. Fortunately Pasteur’s cure now exists, but 55,000 people still die of rabies every year. Saturday, September 8th has been designated as "World Rabies Day" in an attempt to raise / awareness about the disease. Most of the deaths occur in Africa and Asia, and almost half the victims are kids under the age of 15. Most human cases are still from dog bites with the dogs having picked up rabies from wild animals such as bats, skunks or raccoons. The good news is that painful abdominal shots have been replaced by shots in the arm. For more info, go to worldrabiesday.org.

I am sure there have been times when you’ve wished you were invisible like when your boss is looking for volunteers or when your clueless friend is just begging to be pranked. I don't need to know the details. What physicists from Sweden and China have determined that it should be theoretically possible to design a container that would render its contents totally invisible. This non-magical invisibility box would be cylindrical in shape and would be made of special meta-materials whose intricate microscopic structure would force light to follow a specified path. If the tube's wall were the ideal thickness, the scientists say, light would be guided around it, thus making the container and whomever is inside invisible. To reappear, one need only take apart the container, peeling away the wall of the tube one layer at a time. Of course a few practical problems still need to be ironed out. First the scientists haven’t actually constructed such a chamber. Their analysis which will appear in the journal Physical Review Letters is theoretical and the column is just a simulation. But perhaps more annoying, the person inside the container wouldn’t be able to see out, which will definitely put a cramp in your elaborate pranking plans whatever they might be.

If you listen to it one more time, would you agree that she said "put a crimp" in the last sentence?  :handshake
