Scientists create fake blood
日本研制出万能人造血

Scientists in Japan have developed "artificial blood" that could, in theory, be transfused into patients regardless of their blood type. According to the journal Transfusion, the artificial blood can mimic and fulfill the functions of biological blood, primarily the storage and transport of oxygen, if a body is suffering from severe blood loss during surgery or after trauma. 
日本科学家研制出了一种"人造血液"，从理论上讲，这种血液可以输入任何血型的病人体内。据《输血》期刊报道，如果患者在手术期间或创伤后出现严重失血，这种人造血液可以模拟和实现生物血液的功能，主要是储存和运输氧气。

"It is difficult to stock a sufficient amount of blood for transfusions in such regions as remote islands," said the study author Manabu Kinoshita, an associate professor of immunology at the National Defense Medical College. "The artificial blood will be able to save the lives of people who otherwise could not be saved." 
这项研究的作者、日本国防医学院免疫学系副教授Manabu Kinoshita表示："在偏远的岛屿等地区，很难储存足够的供血。这种人造血液将能够挽救那些濒死之人的生命。"

Lack of exercise in teens
八成青少年运动量不足

Teenagers in South Korea are the laziest in the world, according to a global study. A country-by-country breakdown of physical activity levels has revealed just one in five 11- to 17-year-olds get as much exercise as they need to stay healthy. In some countries, led by South Korea and including the Philippines, Cambodia and Sudan, more than 90% of teenagers are inactive. 
根据一项全球研究，韩国的青少年是全世界最懒的。这项研究分析了各国青少年的运动量，发现11岁到17岁的青少年只有五分之一的人运动量达到了维持健康所需的水平。在韩国为首的一些国家，包括菲律宾、柬埔寨和苏丹，超过90%的青少年很少运动。

Meanwhile, the US outperforms almost every country on Earth, with just 72% of children inactive – higher only than Bangladesh, Slovakia and Ireland. Researchers from the World Health Organization said all children between the ages of 11 and 17 should do at least an hour of exercise every day. Physical activity is important for developing young people's hearts, lungs, bones and muscles and keeping them a healthy weight.
