'魔方蒙娜丽莎'拍出高价

A French street artist's interpretation of the Mona Lisa made of 330 Rubik's Cubes sold for 480,200 euros on Sunday at a modern art auction in Paris, well above presale estimates of up to 150,000 euros.

The 2005 artwork by anonymous street artist Invader uses the plastic puzzles' squares to create a mosaic of the Mona Lisa and her famous smile in garish colors.
2005年,匿名街头艺术家"Invader"利用塑料拼图方块创作了一幅炫目的马赛克版蒙娜丽莎和她著名的微笑。

The sale coincided with the closure of a blockbuster Leonardo da Vinci exhibition at the nearby Louvre museum, the home of the real Mona Lisa.

>Breakfast for weight loss
研究:早餐吃饱有助减肥

Eating a big breakfast could help you burn double the number of calories than if you eat a larger meal at dinner.
与一顿丰盛的晚餐相比,吃一顿丰盛的早餐可以帮助你燃烧两倍的卡路里。

It could be the key to losing weight while also keeping blood sugar levels steady, researchers at Lubeck University in Germany said.
德国吕贝克大学的研究人员称,这可能是帮你减肥,同时也能保持血糖水平稳定的关键。

Their study found filling up in the morning boosts a metabolism process known as diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT).
研究人员发现,早上吃饱可以促进食物诱导产热这一新陈代谢过程。

DIT refers to the number of calories the body expends to heat the body and digest food.
食物诱导产热指的是身体为保暖和消化食物而消耗的热量。

It was shown to be twice as high for those who ate more at breakfast than at dinner.
研究表明,与晚餐吃得多的人相比,早餐吃得多的人食物诱导产热是其两倍。

On the other hand, a low-calorie breakfast increases appetite, especially for sweets, the researchers admitted.
另一方面,研究人员承认,低卡路里的早餐会增加食欲,尤其是对甜食的渴望。

This suggests those saving all their calories for the end of the day may face consequences because they snack more.
这表明,把一天中高热量的食物都留到晚上会得不偿失,因为他们在一天之中会吃更多零食。

>Apple kills Swiss watch?
苹果手表销量超瑞士表

The Apple Watch outsold the entire Swiss watch industry in 2019.
2019年苹果手表销量超过了整个瑞士手表行业的总销量。

The Apple Watch sold 31 million units worldwide, while all Swiss watch brands combined sold 21 million units, according to research from consulting firm Strategy Analytics.
咨询公司Strategy Analytics的调查显示,苹果手表全球销量达到3100万块,而所有瑞士手表品牌的销量加在一起只有2100万块。

Analysts are divided on whether this spells trouble for the Swiss watch industry, with some saying that the mechanical watches certified in Switzerland are still bringing in more revenue than the Apple Watch.
这一数据是否预示着瑞士手表行业所面临的危机?分析师们意见不一。有些人认为瑞士认证的机械手表所带来的收入依然高于苹果手表。

Apple's emphasis on health and fitness positioned its watches differently from the Swiss timepieces that are marketed as jewelry and fashion accessories, said Carolina Milanesi, a tech analyst at research firm Creative Strategies.
调研机构Creative Strategies的科技分析师卡罗丽娜·米拉奈西说,二者定位不同,苹果手表将重心放在健康和健身上,而瑞士手表则作为珠宝及时尚配饰来营销。

Vincent Thielke, a research analyst at market research firm Canalys, pointed out that Swiss watches are about twice as expensive as Apple watches on average ($1,000 versus $500), and in terms of absolute US dollars generated, the Swiss watch industry outperformed Apple Watch last year.
市场调研机构Canalys的研究分析师文森特·希尔克指出,瑞士手表的平均价格是苹果手表的两倍(前者均价1000美元,约合人民币7035元,后者均价500美元)。如果是按销售额来计算,去年瑞士手表行业的业绩超过了苹果手表。
