| Waist-hip ratio determines beauty |
女人腰臀比例很重要 |
| A new study found evidence that a woman's attractiveness is related to the size of her waist compared with her hips, the Daily Mail reported. New Zealand anthropologist Barnaby Dixson of Victoria University of Wellington has discovered the ratio that makes for the "perfect" figure. A waist-to-hip ratio of 0.7 -- or a waist measurement exactly 70 percent of the hip circumference -- scored the highest marks. Examples include some of the world's most beautiful women. Marilyn Monroe, modern-day starlet Jessica Alba and Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio all possess the perfect figure. Researchers say it is thought that a small waist-to-hip ratio is equated in the mind with good health and high fertility. |
据英国《每日邮报》报道，一项研究发现，女人的吸引力与腰臀比例密不可分。新西兰惠灵顿维多利亚大学的人类学家巴纳比·迪克森研究发现，腰臀比例是完美身材必不可少的一部分。比例在0.7最完美，也就是说腰围为臀围的70%。玛丽莲·梦露、现代女星杰西卡·奥尔芭和维多利亚秘密的超模亚历山大·安布罗休，这些被认为世界上最美丽的女人，都拥有完美的身材。研究发现，小的腰臀比例往往给人一种身体健康和生育能力强的印象。 |

《艋舺》出征奥斯卡 |
| "Monga", the box-office hit about juvenile gangs in 1980s Taiwan, will replace "Hear Me" as Taiwan's entry for the next Oscars, the People's Daily reported.

| 56-year-old chimpanzee gives birth |
56岁黑猩猩再当妈 |
| A 56-year-old chimpanzee named Susie has given birth to a healthy baby girl at an American zoo, the Daily Mail reported. This is Susie's third child and her last was in 1988. Scientists are keen to visit the zoo to observe the unusual phenomenon because it is so rare, as chimpanzees usually reach menopause in their early 40s at the latest. Susie -- who is believed to be the third oldest chimp alive in America and has a cataract in one eye -- is otherwise in good health and is currently breast-feeding her infant. |
据英国《每日邮报》报道，56岁高龄的黑猩猩苏茜近日在美国一家动物园生下了一只健康的雌性小黑猩猩。这是苏茜的第三个孩子，它上次生育是在1988年。通常，雌性黑猩猩最晚也会在40岁出头的时候进入绝经期，所以科学家们都急切想去动物园就此罕见现象一探究竟。据说，在活着的美国黑猩猩中，苏茜的年龄高居第三，一只眼还患有白内障。尽管如此，它身体非常健康，目前正在母乳喂养小猩猩。
