>2023 Spring Festival Gala holds first rehearsal
精彩纷呈!《2023年春节联欢晚会》组织首次彩排

 

On Monday, China Media Group (CMG) held the first rehearsal for the 2023 Spring Festival Gala. Following the concept of continuous innovation, the rehearsal achieved preliminary results in the presentation of various performances and techniques.
周一(2022年12月26日),中央广播电视总台《2023年春节联欢晚会》组织第一次彩排。彩排本着不断创新的理念,在节目多样态呈现和各类技术手段的配合上取得初步成效。

 

Watching the Spring Festival Gala, or Chunwan in Chinese, is an indispensable part of the celebrations for Chinese people to ring in the Lunar New Year, the most important Chinese festival centering on family reunions.
春节是中国最重要的节日,家家户户阖家团圆。看春晚,则已经成为中国人迎接农历新年不可或缺的一项庆祝活动。

 

With the first broadcast from 1983, the 2023 Spring Festival Gala marks the 40-year history of the gala.
央视春晚于1983年首次正式开办,2023春晚恰逢央视春晚推出40周年。

 

A variety of performances are designed to highlight the 2023 Spring Festival Gala.
为突出2023春晚的特色,整台晚会设计类型丰富、形式多样。

 

More rehearsals will take place in the following days, before the gala is aired on Jan 21, 2023, Chinese New Year's Eve.
接下来的几天还将进行更多场的彩排,春晚将于2023年1月21日除夕夜播出。


>Microbes could be to blame for gaining weight at Christmas
每逢佳节胖三斤?可能是你肠道的微生物太高效了......

Researchers have studied how much energy Danish people take from their food, based on analysis of their feces and the microbes within. They found roughly 40 percent of the participants have microbes that on average extract more energy from food compared to the other 60 percent.
新的研究发现,约40%参与者肠胃中的微生物会从食物中提取更多的能量,从而导致发胖。研究人员根据对丹麦人的粪便及其中微生物的分析,研究了他们从食物中获取多少能量。

 

The new study, published in the journal Microbiome, was led by experts at the University of Copenhagen's Department of Nutrition, Exercise and Sports.
这篇研究发表在《微生物组》杂志上,由哥本哈根大学营养、运动与体育系的专家主导。

 

"We may have found a key to understanding why some people gain more weight than others, even when they don't eat more or any differently, but this needs to be investigated further," said study author Professor Henrik Roager.
研究报告作者亨利克•罗格教授表示:“我们可能找到了一些人体重增加的关键,尽管他们没有吃得更多或有任何不同,但是还需要进一步调查。”

 

For the study, the experts analyzed the gut microbiota – the trillion-strong community of microorganisms in the gut – from participants' stool samples.
在这项研究中,专家们分析了参与者的粪便样本中的肠道微生物群,肠道中有数万亿的微生物群。

 

The researchers describe the gut microbiota "like an entire galaxy in our gut", with a staggering 100 billion of them per gram of feces.
研究人员将肠道微生物群描述为“肠道中的整个星系”,每克粪便中有惊人的1000亿种微生物。

 

The research team studied the residual energy in the feces of 85 overweight Danes aged 22 to 66 to estimate how effective their gut microbes were at extracting energy from food.
研究小组研究了85名22至66岁的超重丹麦人的粪便中的残留能量,以估计他们的肠道微生物从食物中提取能量的效率如何。

 

At the same time, they mapped the composition of gut microbes for each participant.
同时,他们绘制了每个参与者的肠道微生物组成图。

 

Participants were divided into three groups, based on the composition of their gut microbes — "B-type", "R-type" and "P-type".
参与者根据其肠道微生物的组成被分为三组:“B型”、“R型”和“P型”。



B-type has repeatedly been linked with a Western lifestyle low in microbiota-accessible carbohydrates (MACs) typically found in fruits and vegetables, compared with P-type, for example, linked with a diet rich in MACs.
B型的碳水化合物(MACs)含量较低,这种类型可以与西方的生活方式联系在一起,这些碳水化合物通常存在于水果和蔬菜中,而P型则与富含碳水化合物的饮食有关。

 

The so-called B-type composition, seen in 40 per cent of the participants, was more effective at extracting nutrients from food, the experts found.
专家们发现,在40%的参与者中看到的所谓B型成分,更有效地从食物中提取营养物质。

 

The researchers also found that those who extracted the most energy from food weighed 10 percent more on average, amounting to an extra nine kilograms.
研究人员还发现,那些从食物中提取最多能量的人平均体重增加了10%,相当于多了9公斤。

 

The effectiveness of extracting nutrients in B-type people may result in more calories being available from the same amount of food – possibly leading to obesity.
在B型人中,提取营养物质的有效性使他们从相同数量的食物中获得更多的热量,从而可能导致肥胖。

 

"Bacteria's metabolism of food provides extra energy in the form of short-chain fatty acids – molecules that our body can use as energy-supplying fuel," said Professor Roager. "But if we consume more than we burn, the extra energy provided by the intestinal bacteria may increase the risk of obesity over time."
罗格教授称,“细菌对食物的新陈代谢以短链脂肪酸等形式提供额外的能量,我们的身体可以把这些分子作为供能的燃料”。但是,“如果我们的摄入量超过了消耗量,那么随着时间的推移,肠道细菌提供的额外能量可能会增加肥胖的风险”。

 

Although the scientists only used a small sample of Danish participants, it's possible the findings could be applied to other global populations.
尽管科学家们只使用了来自丹麦参与者的少数样本,但这一发现或适用于全球其他人口。

 

Overall, the results indicate that being overweight might not just be related to how healthily one eats or the amount of exercise one gets, but it may also have something to do with the microbes in our gut.
总的来说,研究结果表明,超重可能不仅仅与一个人的饮食健康程度或运动量有关,还可能与人体肠道中的微生物有关系。
