>Botched restoration of painting
名画仿品遭毁容式修复
An art collector in Spain was shocked after the face of the Virgin Mary in a copy of a 17th century painting he paid to have restored was left unrecognizable.
西班牙一名艺术品收藏家花钱请人修复一幅17世纪名画的复制品,但修复后的画作令他震惊不已,画中圣母玛利亚的面庞已难以辨认。
The private collector is said to have paid a furniture restorer 1,200 euros to carry out work on the copy of "The Immaculate Conception of Los Venerables" by the baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.
据说,这位私人收藏家向一名家具修复工支付了1200欧元(约合人民币9552元)来修复《埃斯克利亚的清静受胎》的复制品,这幅画的作者是巴洛克艺术家巴罗洛梅•埃斯特巴•穆立罗。
The restorer's first effort was a disaster, leaving Mary's face disfigured, and the subsequent attempt to correct it just made it worse.
修复工的第一次修复已是一场灾难,导致圣母的脸被"毁容",之后他的补救行动让这幅画更加惨不忍睹。
The botched job has caused such outrage that art conservation experts in Spain have called on the government to enforce stricter laws for restoration work to preserve the country's history.
这次拙劣的毁容式修复引发人们极大的愤慨,以至于西班牙的艺术保护专家们呼吁政府在文物修复方面出台更严格的法律,以保护该国历史。

>Men produce more antibodies
男性患者新冠抗体更多
Male coronavirus survivors are being urged to give blood because of evidence that men produce more antibodies, which could make their plasma a more valuable treatment.
男性新冠肺炎康复者被敦促去献血,因为有证据显示男性身体能产生更多抗体,这使得他们的血浆成为更有价值的治疗物质。
The research, by NHS Blood and Transplant, suggests men may hold the key in the battle against the virus.
英国国民医疗保健署血液和移植司开展的这项研究显示,男性可能握有打赢新冠病毒之战的钥匙。
Their research shows that 43% of male donors had blood plasma rich enough in antibodies, compared with 29% of women.
他们的研究显示,43%的男性捐献者的血浆富含抗体,相比之下,只有29%的女性捐献者的血浆富含抗体。
Antibodies are produced when the body's immune system tries to fight off a virus.
当人体的免疫系统试图击败病毒时,抗体就会产生。
Men with COVID-19 tend to produce more antibodies than women with the virus because men are more likely to become seriously ill.
感染新冠病毒后,男性产生的抗体通常比女性多,因为男性更可能发展成重症。
If the trial is successful, being treated with convalescent plasma could become a widespread practice in hospitals.
如果这项试验成功,用康复者的血浆治疗将成为医院广泛采用的方法。

Unilever says it is dropping terms like "whitening", "lightening" and "fair" from its marketing language to better promote racial inclusivity in the beauty industry. As part of the push, the consumer products giant will rename its Fair & Lovely product range.
消费品巨头联合利华称,为了在美容产业中增进种族包容性,集团将在营销语言中弃用"美白"、"亮肤"和"白皙"等字眼,并将重新命名美容产品系列Fair & Lovely(白皙&可爱)。
Calls to rebrand products and logos with problematic histories and racist connotations have swept the globe following the Memorial Day death of George Floyd in police custody.
在乔治•弗洛伊德在美国阵亡将士纪念日被警方羁押时丧生后,全球各地掀起了呼吁为带有历史问题和种族主义暗示的产品和标识重新命名的风潮。
