>Mooncakes with fake meat
首款'人造肉月餅'9月上市

Mooncakes filled with lab-grown meat will go on sale in China for the first time in September. The mooncakes will be stuffed with meat made from vegetable protein.
今年9月，"人造肉"餡兒的月餅將在我國首次上市銷售，月餅中間的肉餡兒是用植物蛋白制成的。

Researchers have been working to reduce the unpleasant smell of vegetable protein and make the vegan product taste like real meat, said Li Jian, an associate professor at the School of Food and Chemical Engineering at Beijing Technology and Business University, who is leading the team making the meat substitute.
帶領"人造肉"實驗團隊的北京工商大學食品與健康學院副教授李健表示，研究人員一直在研究如何去除植物蛋白的異味，使植物人造肉味道更接近真肉。

The fake meat industry is a hot new sector in the world of food science.
人造肉行業(yè)是食物科學界的一個新的流行領域。

Earlier this month, Burger King rolled out a new version of its signature Whopper made with a plant-based patty.
本月初，漢堡王推出新款華堡，這款產(chǎn)品中的肉餅也是由植物制成。

>Negative mortgage rates
丹麥推首例負利率貸款

A Danish bank has launched the world's first negative interest rate mortgage – handing out loans to homeowners where the charge is minus 0.5% a year.
一家丹麥銀行推出了世界首例負利率按揭貸款——房貸年利率為-0.5%。

Negative interest rates effectively mean that a bank pays a borrower to take money off their hands, so they pay back less than they have been loaned.
負利率的意思是，銀行付錢讓借貸者使用資金，貸款人還的錢比借的錢還少。

Jyske Bank, Denmark's third largest, has begun offering borrowers a 10-year deal at -0.5%, while another Danish bank, Nordea, says it will begin offering 20-year fixed-rate deals at 0% and a 30-year mortgage at 0.5%.
丹麥第三大銀行日德蘭銀行已經(jīng)開始向借貸者提供年利率為-0.5%的十年期貸款，而另一家丹麥銀行諾底亞銀行將開始提供固定年利率為0%的20年期貸款和年利率為0.5%的30年期貸款。

The mortgage is possible because Denmark, as well as Sweden and Switzerland, has seen rates in money markets drop to levels that turn banking upside-down.
這種貸款之所以可行，是因為在丹麥、瑞典、瑞士這些國家，貨幣市場的利率降幅已經(jīng)讓銀行業(yè)務出現(xiàn)"倒掛"。

Jyske Bank is able to go into money markets and borrow from institutional investors at a negative rate, and is simply passing this on to its customers, said Jyske's housing economist, Mikkel Hoegh.
日德蘭銀行的房產(chǎn)經(jīng)濟學家米克歐?赫格說，日德蘭銀行能夠以負利率從貨幣市場和機構投資人那里借到錢，現(xiàn)在只不過是將這種借款方式用于銀行客戶。

But the flipside is that savers will see nothing paid in interest on their deposits – and may also suffer as they go negative.
不過有利就有弊，儲戶將發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的存款毫無收益，如果變成負利率的話存款甚至會減少。

>Binge-watching bad for brain
專家:瘋狂刷劇有害大腦

Binge-watching your favorite TV series is bad for your brain, a neurologist has warned. Dr Randall Wright, based in Texas, said the need to watch episode after episode has a similar effect on the brain to gambling.
美國德克薩斯州的神經(jīng)學家蘭德爾?懷特警告稱，瘋狂刷心儀電視劇對大腦有害。懷特醫(yī)生表示，人們一集接一集刷劇的需求對大腦產(chǎn)生的影響與賭博類似。

What's more, sitting in front of the screen for hours creates an "unhealthy environment".
此外，連續(xù)數(shù)小時坐在屏幕前會產(chǎn)生一種"不健康的氛圍"。

The past time often leads to social isolation, snacking on junk food and a lack of exercise and sleep, which, over time, is bad for the brain, he said.
刷劇消遣通常會導致社交孤立，吃垃圾食品，缺乏運動和睡眠，隨著時間的推移，會對大腦有害。

But he said it is possible to ward off the side effects of being a couch potato with four tips.
但懷特醫(yī)生說，有四條建議可以讓沙發(fā)土豆遠離刷劇產(chǎn)生的副作用。

Firstly, exercise before a binge-watching TV - or even in between episodes - because activity helps the brain generate new cells.
第一，在瘋狂刷劇前或者劇集播放的間隔時間做運動，因為運動有助于大腦產(chǎn)生新的細胞。

Secondly, set an alarm can be helpful for reminding yourself to go to sleep at a decent time.
第二，設置鬧鐘會有助于提醒自己在適當?shù)臅r間上床睡覺。

Thirdly, spending too much time in isolation can lead to depression, so it's important to balance TV viewing with socializing.
第三，獨處時間太長可能會導致抑郁，因此平衡看電視和社交活動非常重要。

Fourth, as for the snacks, Dr Wright advises to stay away from salty, fatty, calorific foods.
第四，至于零食方面，懷特醫(yī)生建議遠離高鹽、高脂肪以及高熱量的食品。
