> Dirty Dozen 2022: Produce with the most and least pesticides
這種水果“最臟果蔬排行榜”第一名？還能放心吃嗎……

Strawberries continue to top the annual list of the “Dirty Dozen” fruits and veggies that contain the highest levels of pesticides, according to the Environmental Working Group’s 2022 Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce.
在美國環(huán)境工作組發(fā)布的2022年度農(nóng)藥殘留農(nóng)產(chǎn)品購物指南中，草莓繼續(xù)因其農(nóng)藥含量最高位居“最臟的12種蔬果”榜首。

The EWG found that 99% of strawberry samples (most recently tested in 2015-16) had detectable residues of at least one pesticide, earning the fruit the No. 1 spot.
美國環(huán)境工作組發(fā)現(xiàn)，99%的草莓樣品（最近一批樣品檢測時(shí)間是2015到2016年）至少可檢測到一種農(nóng)藥殘留，因而草莓在榜單上位列首位。

Shauna Henley, PhD, a family and consumer sciences senior agent at the University of Maryland Extension, said that the best way to wash produce depends on its surface. Use a produce brush on rough surfaces like melons and rub smooth surfaces, like apples, with your hands.
馬里蘭大學(xué)繼續(xù)教育學(xué)院家庭與消費(fèi)者科學(xué)高級(jí)專員肖娜?亨利博士說，清洗農(nóng)產(chǎn)品的最佳方式取決于它的表面。像瓜類這種表皮粗糙的水果，可以用農(nóng)產(chǎn)品專用刷子來刷洗；蘋果等外表光滑的水果可以用手搓洗。

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and Twitter, has broken the world record for the largest loss of personal fortune in history, according to a Guinness World Records report.
吉尼斯官網(wǎng)認(rèn)證，特斯拉和推特的老板馬斯克因?yàn)橛惺芬詠頁p失了最多的個(gè)人財(cái)富，正式打破了世界紀(jì)錄。

Musk's net worth dropped from a peak of $320 billion in 2021 to $138 billion as of January 2023, a total loss of approximately $182 billion, the report said, citing figures obtained from Forbes.
該網(wǎng)援引福布斯的數(shù)據(jù)稱，截至2023年1月，馬斯克的凈資產(chǎn)已從2021年3200億美元的峰值下降到1380億美元，損失約1820億美元（約合1.22萬億人民幣）。

Musk's misfortunes also saw him lose his status as the world’s richest person to Bernard Arnault (France), founder of luxury goods conglomerate LVMH (Louis Vuitton Mo?t Hennessy), who has an estimated net worth of $190 billion.

Musk’s shrinking fortune was largely due to the steep slide of Tesla shares, to which the majority of his fortune is tied up, the Guinness World Records report said.
吉尼斯官網(wǎng)報(bào)道，馬斯克的大部分財(cái)富都與特斯拉股票掛鉤，特斯拉表現(xiàn)不佳很大程度上導(dǎo)致了這次財(cái)產(chǎn)縮水。

Investors in Tesla have voiced concerns that he is spending so much time trying to right the ship at Twitter so Tesla is suffering.
特斯拉的投資者擔(dān)心，正是馬斯克花了太多時(shí)間挽回推特的頹勢，才致使特斯拉遭殃。
