>Japanese eye drops banned
日本网红眼药水遭禁售
Six types of Japanese eye drops that are popular in China have been blacklisted in Canada after health authorities there analyzed the ingredients.
加拿大卫生部门日前在分析过六种日本眼药水的成分后,将其列入了黑名单。这六种眼药水在中国都很流行。

According to Health Canada, the over-the-counter products contain prescription drugs which, if taken without the supervision of a healthcare professional, may cause serious side effects including watery eyes, cataracts, headache, muscle weakness, and a stinging or burning feeling on the skin.
加拿大卫生部表示,这些非处方药含有处方药品成分,在没有专业医疗人员监督的情况下使用,可能会造成严重的副作用,包括眼睛流泪、白内障、头痛、肌肉无力以及皮肤刺痛或灼烧感等。

Experts warned that their long-term use might cause damage to the eyes.
专家警告说,长期使用这些眼药水可能会损伤眼睛。

China's health authority and the medical products administration have not issued any such warnings.
目前,我国卫生部门和医疗产品管理机构尚未发布任何此类警告。

The products on the Canadian list have not received official approval for sale in the Chinese mainland and most users have to travel to Japan to buy them, or ask friends to shop on their behalf.
被列入加拿大黑名单的产品尚未被官方批准在中国大陆销售,大多数用户需要前往日本购买,或让朋友代购。

>Auction of Beethoven's hair
贝多芬头发被公开拍卖

British auction house Sotheby's plans to sell on Tuesday what it says is a "substantial" lock of Ludwig van Beethoven's hair that the German composer himself cut off and gave to a pianist friend in 1826.
英国拍卖行苏富比计划于当地时间11日出售德国作曲家路德维希•凡•贝多芬的"一大缕"头发。据传,这缕头发是1826年贝多芬自己剪下来送给一位钢琴家朋友的。

The lock is expected to fetch up to 15,000 pounds but the director of books and manuscripts at Sotheby's, Simon Maguire, said it could end up selling for more than that. "There's already been quite a lot of interest," he said.
贝多芬的这缕头发估价达1.5万英镑,但苏富比负责书籍和手稿拍卖的负责人西蒙•马奎尔表示,最终成交价或许会更高,因为已经有很多人表现出对这件拍卖品的兴趣。

Recounting the story behind the item, Maguire said Austrian pianist Anton Halm had asked for a lock of hair to give to his wife as a keepsake but Beethoven's servant had instead sent the hair of a goat, infuriating the composer. "And he then gave (Halm), in a piece of paper, a lock of hair that he had just himself cut from the back of his head, a substantial lock. And he said this one at least you can be sure is genuine," Maguire said.
马奎尔还讲述了这缕头发背后的故事:奥地利钢琴家安东•哈姆曾向贝多芬讨要一缕头发,送给自己的妻子作纪念品。殊不知贝多芬的仆人送来一缕山羊毛充数。贝多芬对此很生气,于是亲手从自己脑后剪下一大缕头发,包在一张纸里送给哈姆,说:"这次肯定是真的。"
