此外，crash也常用来表示“撞车”，但这里不一定是两车相撞，也可能是车辆撞到了别的物体上导致事故发生。所以，car crash包含的意义比car collision要广一些。另外，“飞机失事”也用plane crash来表示。

收养成人——日本百年家族企业的生存秘诀

# M9 F9 _4 o$ U+ f6 ]
& G2 G2 B4 w2 o* N6 H! K7 c如今，一些家庭出于生育问题等原因收养儿童是很常见的现象。但是在日本，收养的情况却大有不同。日本的收养率虽高，收养对象却不是婴幼儿而是年轻成年男子。这是为什么呢？一方面，收养成年男子是为了延续家族的姓氏。另一方面，这也是发展家族企业的一条途径。很多日本大型家族企业都会挑选优秀的成年男子作为继承人，使企业得到更好的发展。
% [2 ~6 H: K3 \% e! G

Japan has one of the highest adoption rates in the world, with over 80,000 legal adoptions recorded every year. Yet when it comes to adopting children, the Asian country is lagging way behind most developed countries. That's because around 98% of Japanese adoptees are bright young men in their 20s and 30s.
* Y  w6 M% n( ^' A* M5 d1 ?2 u日本是世界上收养率最高的国家之一，每年的合法收养记录超过8万。但是日本在收养儿童发面仍落后于大多数发达国家。这是因为日本98%的被收养人都是二三十岁的年轻男性。

- Q4 e( K0 r2 G$ z* YAt the same time, while studies have shown that family-controlled businesses are generally unsustainable over long periods of time - mostly due to the fact that business acumen and intelligence are only partially inherited - it's interesting to see that not only are a third of Japanese corporations family-run, but they are also clearly outperforming professionally managed companies in almost every way. Statistics show that family firms are more profitable, have a higher market valuation and increased sales compared to their rivals. Even more curious is that giants like Suzuki, Toyota or Matsui Securities have managed to keep it all in the family for over a hundred years, and other family businesses for even longer than that.
与此同时，研究表明家族企业持续的时间一般都不长，这主要是因为商业头脑和智慧只能得到部分传承。但有趣的是，日本有1/3的企业是家族经营的，而它们在几乎各个方面都明显超越专业管理的公司。统计数据显示，与竞争对手相比，家族企业盈利更多，市场估值更高。更奇怪的是，铃木、丰田和松井证券等巨头一直维持家族经营已有100多年了，而其他家族企业的历史甚至更久远。


But what does the remarkable success of family business have to do with the high rate of adult adoption, right? Well, in Japan at least, these two curiosities are very closely linked. Prior to the Second World War, civil code in Japan decreed family wealth could only be passed down through male lines, traditionally to the first born son. So families with no male heirs or with sons deemed unsuitable to take over the family business turned to adoption, but not the kind most of us are used to. Instead of simply adopting a baby or a young boy, they adopted young men who displayed the intelligence and knowledge of business required to ensure that their name and legacy endured until the next generation. And while the law no longer prohibits people from passing down their fortune to female heirs, the age-old tradition of electing a 'mukoyoshi' (or 'adopted son-in-law') is still very popular in Japan.
3 y' F, X. q1 a9 h2 A" ?( P8 M, L但是，家族企业傲人的成就与成人收养率高有什么关系呢？好吧，至少在日本这两件怪事是紧密相联的。第二次世界大战前，《日本民法典》规定家族财富只能传给男性，传统上是传给长子。没有男性继承人或儿子的家庭会被视为不适合接管家族生意，因此这些家庭就会去收养继承人，但是这不是我们所熟悉的收养方式。为了让家族的姓氏和遗产延续给下一代，他们不会收养婴儿或者小男孩儿，而是收养具有经商头脑和商业知识的年轻男性。虽然法律已经不再禁止人们将财产传给女性，但是选择一名“女婿”的古老传统在日本依然很流行。

The vast majority of adoptions in Japan have little to do with kindness and generosity and a lot to do with mercantilism and the fear of losing centuries-old family names. Genes are not that reliable, which is why most family businesses stagnate and eventually go downhill after their founder's death. But in Japan, you can find family-run businesses dating back over a millennium. According to Wikipedia the top five world's oldest businesses are Japanese, with the oldest of them, a Buddhist temple builder called Kongō Gumi, having been founded in the year 578. It remained a family-run business until 2006, when it was absorbed by the Takamatsu Construction Group.
" z) O% p) h8 C) A/ g在日本，大多数收养和善良、慷慨都不沾边，收养主要出于商业目的以及担心古老家族姓氏失传。基因是靠不住的，这就是为什么大多数家族企业在创始人去世后停滞不前，并最终走上下坡路。但你会发现，日本的家族企业历史可以追溯到上千年前。据维基百科排名显示，世界上最古老的五个企业都来自日本，其中历史最悠久的金刚组成立于公元578年，这是一家建造佛教寺庙的企业。金刚组一直维持家族经营，直到2006年该公司才被高松建设集团吞并。
% g- M0 K' |, b( k5 @% U. V
/ |4 D$ G( M4 r6 n- {: ]While some people may see the Japanese adult adoption as wrong or just plain weird, studies have found that it is a very effective way of keeping family businesses healthy over long periods of time. According to The New Economy, "adopting highly qualified adults to head family businesses has the triple effect of displacing untalented blood heirs, eliciting better performance from managers who stand to be placed on a fast-track to ownership by becoming an adopted son, and encouraging proactivity among blood heirs who live under constant threat of being replaced by a 'superior' adopted son."
虽然有人认为日本的成人收养制度是不正确的，甚至非常诡异，但研究发现，这是家族企业长期维持下去的极有效方法。据《新经济》杂志称，“收养高素质的成年人领导家族企业具有一箭三雕的效果，这样可以取代没有才能的血亲继承人，而成为养子是继承公司的捷径，这点会促使作为管理者的养子表现更加出色，随时可能被“更优秀”养子取代的威胁还会激励血亲继承人提高工作积极性。”
, v- d5 i% b* Q; l! h+ a

Today, there are a host of matchmaking companies and marriage consultants specializing in recruiting adult adoptees for Japanese companies. "There is definitely demand because the birth rate in Japan has been falling and many parents just have a daughter," says Chieko Date, the founder of a matchmaking site for woman looking for husbands willing to get adopted by their families. "And many men are looking for opportunities to use their business skills outside the corporate world because in this economy, climbing up the corporate ladder is much harder."
) I" Z7 f9 n7 N/ E' o7 @如今，有很多婚介公司和婚恋顾问专门为日本企业招收成年养子。伊达千惠是一家婚介网站的创始人，该网站为女性寻找愿被其家族收养的丈夫。伊达千惠说，“因为日本的出生率一直在下降，而许多夫妻只有一个女儿，所以肯定有需求。许多男人都希望在企业世界之外的天空施展自己的商业技能，因为在这种经济体制中升迁要困难得多。”

Prospective voluntary adoptees obviously have a lot to gain from this as well. Not only are they awarded a high executive honor, but their families are often rewarded with large sums of money for accepting that their heir give up the family name and take on that of the adopters. It's a good business deal, especially for families with multiple male heirs.
自愿被收养的潜在养子显然也能获利不少。他们不仅能得到高管职位，而且他们的家庭通常还会因为家族继承人放弃自己的姓氏而接受收养人的姓氏而获得巨额奖励。这是一笔好买卖，尤其是对于有多个家族继承人的家庭来说。

为什么越来越多的人嫌弃并剪掉衣服商标

% R2 ?: _. f/ H3 r4 m8 F2 k- LWhy people are cutting brand logos off their clothing

0 k- g) F9 z& ^% b  G, R8 L4 c2 X十几年前，身穿一套印有品牌标志的名牌服装曾是财富和成功的象征。而如今人们却想法设法地抹去衣服和包包上的标志，还有博主专门在网上发教程贴教大家如何去掉各式各样的商标。那么为什么越来越多的人开始嫌弃明显的商标呢？


- ~% a  l" r, M" o3 H& X+ J/ KThere was a time between the 1990s and mid-2000s when dressing head-to-toe in designer clothing emblazoned with logos was a sign of wealth and success. Now, people are using scalpels to slice logos off.
# {/ _- I- s# D# U从上世纪90年代到2005年左右，身穿一套印有品牌标志的名牌服装曾是财富和成功的象征。如今，人们却要用刀将衣服的商标裁掉。

Online, bloggers are posting tutorials on how to remove the thread stitched into shirts and hats without leaving an unsightly outline or picking off the logo on sunglasses without leaving behind a blurry mess. Writing stamped on in vinyl, meanwhile, is wiped away with nail polish remover, according to the Wall Street Journal.
一些博主在网上发教程贴教大家如何去掉缝在T恤或帽子上的标志且不留下难看的印记，以及不留痕迹地去掉墨镜上贴的标志。此外，据《华尔街日报》称，可以用洗甲水擦掉印在乙烯塑料上的文字。

* u5 ^# w8 Q% i5 S% lIn 2015, a report by Goldman Sachs revealed that millennials prefer clothing without labels or logos. When a person can transform themselves into a "brand" with some well-lit Instagram photos and considered Tweeting, essentially advertising someone else's product on their chest or handbag can become less appealing.
- \3 I/ }( ^5 t4 m: H5 B高盛公司2015年的一份报告显示，千禧一代更喜欢没有标签或商标的衣服。当人们可以通过清晰明亮的Ins照片和精心编写的推文将自己打造成一个“品牌”时，就不会想在自己的胸前或包袋上为别人的产品打广告。
: d, U( S1 X# O
In a similar vein, cutting off someone else's identity enables you to create and peddle your own. While allegiances to the quality of a brand's clothing can stick, what the label symbolises - perhaps teens or older shoppers - doesn't always fit the image a person is trying to construct.
同样的，抹去别人的标识能够让你创造和张扬自己的个性。虽然人们可以对一个品牌的服装品质保有忠诚度，但是品牌所代表的形象（可能是青少年，也可能是年长者）并不总是与人们试图营造的形象相符。
2 l7 L: f5 T6 H9 p  e4 v
And in the age of austerity, logos have long been regarded as a little gauche. Instead, high quality-clothing, with the neat finishes in beautiful fabrics, speaks for itself.
在经济紧缩的年代，商标一直被认为有些拙劣。相反，那些高端服饰靠整齐的做工和精致的面料就足以说明一切。

In response to the move away from obvious branding, fashion houses have toned down their logos. Abercrombie & Fitch have banned the "A&F" on sweatshirts and hoodies once ubiquitous in schools and on college campuses in the US, while bag manufacturers Coach and Michael Kors have changed-up their designs as sales of logo-heaving products ped, Business Insider reported.
由于人们对明显的商标都敬而远之，时装设计公司开始淡化自己的商标。Abercrombie & Fitch的运动衫和帽衫曾经风靡美国中学和大学校园，该公司已经禁止在运动衫和帽衫上出现“A&F”标志。据《商业内幕》报道，由于带有品牌标志的产品销量下滑，包包生产商Coach和Michael Kors已经改变了他们的设计。

痴呆症常见的危险因素包括年龄、家族史和遗传病史。但最新研究指出，除此之外，还有另外一个因素可能会影响患痴呆症的可能性：居住在车水马龙的主干道旁边。加拿大一项新研究发现，由于空气中的污染物可能通过血液进入大脑，引发神经系统病变，住在交通繁忙地段附近的人患痴呆症的风险更高。

Air pollution is already known to contribute to the deaths of around 40,000 people in Britain each year by exacerbating respiratory and heart conditions, while previous research showed emissions can cause brain shrinkage.
我们已经知道空气污染可引起呼吸系统及心脏健康的恶化，每年造成近乎4万英国人死亡。此前的研究还表明，尾气排放会引起大脑萎缩。

Yet the pizza is far from the first recipe to incorporate a bit of the precious metal. Earlier this year, Björn DelaCruz, the owner of Filipino restaurant the Manila Social Club, in Williamsburg, New York, created the pricey Golden Cristal Ube Donut.
不过，黄金比萨早就不是第一种加入了黄金的食物。“马尼拉社交俱乐部”是纽约威廉斯堡一家菲律宾餐厅，今年早些时候，餐厅老板Björn DelaCruz制作了一款昂贵的黄金水晶宇部甜甜圈。

但是金子是重金属，直接服用安全吗？此外，吃金子真的对人有那么多好处吗？

从营养学的角度看，金不是人体必需的营养素。只要不吃太多，是既无害也无益的。金的稳定性很好，在人体内不会消化，也不会发生反应，它没有任何营养价值或者味道，食用金箔后，不会堆积在体内，会原封不动地排出人体。简单来说，就是吃进去的黄金会随粪便排出体外。

但是，如果吃太多黄金，可能会影响消化，造成肠胃不适甚至危及性命。中国古代“吞金自杀”的说法就是因为吞服大量黄金后，金制品通过机械性刺激等，导致消化道破裂、出血等并发症所致。

如果你是白领一族，每天都要坐在办公桌前工作一天，那你就要警惕久坐给身体带来的负面影响了。而应对久坐最好的办法就是每隔一小时运动五分钟，这不仅能够减轻久坐对身体的损伤，还能够帮助白领们放松大脑，提高工作效率。

Spending hours a day sitting at a desk is known to have consequences for your health but, scientists now say just five-minute walking stints could counteract some of the risks.
众所周知，一天在桌子前坐上数小时肯定不利于健康——但最近科学家发现，哪怕只是短短五分钟的步行运动也能抵消部分消极影响。
